Texto completo da fonteResumo:
This thesis brings together work I have published in the last five years in academic journals and edited book collections. All the material presented in the thesis, much of it substantially rewritten, will appear in the trilogy I have been working on since my last published book, Radio, Television and Modern Life (Blackwell 1996). The organising structure of the thesis and its substantive concerns corresponds with that of the three books that will come out of it. The form and content of the thesis, and its relation to the books, is discussed in some detail in its introduction. Its fundamental concern is with human time which I have explored in all my writings since I began research thirty years ago, with my late friend and colleague David Cardiff, into the early history of the British Broadcasting Corporation. The medium of radio is time. Historiography deals with past time. The academic work of writing history on the other, and the temporality of radio and television on the one hand, are the first two themes of this thesis which shows that the orders of time in which they work are divergent rather than convergent. The third section of the thesis attempts their reconciliation through the recovery of meaningful time.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Time, evanescence, and impermanence are basic concepts and have a strong presence in my work. In my photographic works, the outside natural world can be the natural painting itself and I store landscapes in my camera to print out to show as the final artwork. My final project will be a series of landscape photographs which will be focused on the natural environment related to the passage of time. All my photographs were taken in different places around the Sydney region. My photographs will be exhibited as a series of images. The Postgraduate degree exhibition will be held in Sydney College of the Arts on 4th December to 10th December, 2014. This research paper will focus on the concept of time and phenomenology, while outlining the importance of time consciousness. This is closely based on the proposed philosophy of time consciousness and being and time by Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) and Martin Heidegger (1889-1976), respectively. Phenomenology is the study of phenomena as experienced by the individual, and is a discipline of philosophy. Drawing from these ideas, the intention of this research paper is to understand the presence of how photography has been concerned with experience of time according to phenomenology and time consciousness. In Chapter One, the main ideas have been proposed through Husserl’s theory on “temporal horizon” and analysing consciousness as the flow of phenomena to support the paper. Chapter Two will present different artists works and it addresses their individual ideas on phenomenology and time. In Chapter Three, broad philosophical ideas of time relation to base on essay “On Photography” by Susan Sontag (1933-2004). The last chapter will concentrate on my previous artworks and current photograph works to understand relevant ideas on photograph in relation to phenomenology of time consciousness. The findings of this research provide an understanding of how we consciously experience time in our world and give clear ideas of time and phenomenological time consciousness to demonstrate my photographs.

Thumu, Prashanth. "TIME CONDITION SYSTEMS." UKnowledge, 2005. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/gradschool_theses/374.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The current thesis considers the issue of state estimation of condition systems, a form of petri net with signal inputs and outputs. In previous research the problem of unobservability due to progress confusion was identified, in the presence of which state estimation is not possible. Here we introduce the notion of Time Condition Systems", a class of condition systems that uses timing information from condition models to overcome state estimation problem caused by progress confusion. To make use of the timing information in the plant model, a procedure called Exploded Time Plant" is synthesized. This procedure makes the plant model an observable model. It is proved that this procedure does not alter the structural and temporal behavior of the plant model and the plant maintains its integrity. The time plant(s) and the corresponding Exploded time plant(s) are subsequently used to develop observer(s) and controller(s) for Time condition models.

<p>In a distributed real-time environment where it is imperative to make correct decisions it is important to have all facts available to make the most accurate decision in a certain situation. An example of such an environment is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system where several UAVs cooperate to carry out a certain task and the data recorded is analyzed after the completion of the mission. This project aims to define and implement a time series architecture for use together with a distributed real-time database for the ability to store temporal data. The result from this project is a time series (TS) architecture that uses DeeDS, a distributed real-time database, for storage. The TS architecture is used by an application modelled from a UAV scenario for storing temporal data. The temporal data is produced by a simulator. The TS architecture solves the problem of storing temporal data for applications using DeeDS. The TS architecture is also useful as a foundation for integrating time series in DeeDS since it is designed for space efficiency and real-time requirements.</p>

Chetthamrongchai, Paitoon. "Time orientation and time use in shopping." Thesis, University of Manchester, 1998. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.496483.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Previous work on shopping behaviour can be catergorised into three themes. Work has been done to identify different motivations for shopping, developing the original thinking of Stone, (1954) and Tauber, (1972). Work has been done on retail patronage, examining shopping behaviour from the image promoted by retailers, building upon the original work of Matineau, (1958) and Lindquist, (1974). A third body of work, somewhat less coherent, contains a collection of different models of patronage, the most relevant here being that concerned with retail location, based on the work of Huff, (1964) and Christall and Loch, (1930) where patronage is seen to decline with distance. This thesis draws mainly from the perspective in the first theme. It takes as its starting point the concept of the individual being an allocator of time as well as money. People are seen as being motivated in their allocation of time to activities such as shopping by their time orientation. This in tum creates different attitudes to shopping which influences shopping behaviour. Previous work on time attitude and shopping behaviour has tended to emphasise solely time pressure and time saving as being linked (Berry, 1979), although others have seen time orientation as more complex (Gronmo, 1989 and Graham, 1981). A framework is developed that links attitude to time to attitude to shopping and then to actual shopping behaviour. The main contribution from the thesis is in the development and testing ofthis framework. 12 Attitudes to time are claimed to be culture specific (Graham, 1981 and Sheth and Hirshman, 1987) and so the framework is tested in two countries, Britain and Thailand. A questionnaire was developed to measure time attitude, shopping attitude and shopping behaviour in the context of food shopping. This was applied in Blackburn and Bangkok. Factor analysis is used to identify time and shopping attitudes. These are correlated with shopping behaviour specifically time spent shopping, shopping frequency, time of the day used for shopping and the patronage of individual outlets. Cluster analysis is used based upon the time and shopping factors to identify four market segments in each country. Comparisons are made between the results from each study. Although the results contain certain similarities, there are also significant differences that may be linked to differences in attitudes to time between the two countries. The main conclusion from the research is that the time perspective is useful in understanding consumer psychology and patronage behaviour. The results show that time orientation plays an important role in segmenting consumer markets. There are a number of theoretical and practical implications. The conceptualisation of time attitude being linked to patronage behaviour makes a significant contribution to marketing theory. The thesis shows that time orientation and shopping motivation are valuable dimensions in understanding consumer shopping behaviour.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1993 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, Nevada<br>This paper describes a real-time implementation of the pattern recognition technology
originally developed by BBN [Delatizky et al] for post-processing of time-sampled
telemetry data. This makes it possible to monitor a data stream for a characteristic
shape, such as an arrhythmic heartbeat or a step-response whose overshoot is
unacceptably large. Once programmed to recognize patterns of interest, it generates a
symbolic description of a time-series signal in intuitive, object-oriented terms. The
basic technique is to decompose the signal into a hierarchy of simpler components
using rules of grammar, analogous to the process of decomposing a sentence into
phrases and words.
This paper describes the basic technique used for pattern recognition of time-series
signals and the problems that must be solved to apply the techniques in real time. We
present experimental results for an unoptimized prototype demonstrating that 4000
samples per second can be handled easily on conventional hardware.

The experience of time is not fixed by a rigid mathematical measure, instead, it flows at vaying rates.
There are certain occasions in which we would like to extend time with all our force, up to the limit of our stretched arms and further. Conversely there are moments which we'd like to last no more that the sparkle of a flash, but as we all have noticed, those are the longest in our life.
How does the space that we inhabit influence on our perception of time? May we identify especial elements that contribute in one or other sense to accelerate or slowdown the time?
It's said that time and space is an inseparable unity, as two aspects of the same thing. If this is so, then it also must be true that by shaping space in one way or another, we might influence the experience of time through it. Wouldn't it be delightful to believe that we may be magicians of time through manipulation of architecture?<br>Master of Architecture

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Les conséquences des chocs économiques négatifs sur les ménages ont été documentés extensivement, mais on en sait beaucoup moins sur la manière dont ces chocs sont transmis aux individus à travers la médiation du ménage. Le ménage contribue-il à modérer l'effet des chocs négatifs ? Dans quelle mesure le choc économique pèse-t-il dans la négociation familiale ? À partir de données sur la crise économique argentine de 2001, je montre d'abord que les femmes en couple ont une plus grande probabilité de devenir actives si leur mari a fait l'expérience d'un choc de revenu. Ensuite, je montre que le cycle économique importe dans les décisions d'investissement en capital humain. Sur le long terme, les profils de salaire et d'employabilité des hommes argentins sont affectés de manière persistante par les conditions économiques initiales au moment de l'obtention du diplôme. Enfin, je considère la dimension “man-cession” de la crise économique de 2009 en Espagne et montre que la part des ressources du ménage reçues par les femmes pour leur consommation privée augmente avec la diminution de l'écart des taux de chômage hommes-femmes, confortant l'hypothèse que les chocs négatifs modifient le pouvoir de négociation des individus au sein du ménage<br>The consequences of adverse aggregate shocks on households have been repeatedly documented, but far less has been said on the way they are passed over to individuals through the mediation of the household. Does the household contribute in mitigating the effects? Or does the economic shock rather invite itself at the family negociating table? Using the Argentine 2001 economic crisis as a natural experiment, I first show that married women are more likely to enter the labor market if their husband experienced a loss in income, giving credit to the insurance mechanism. Then, I show that the business cycle matters for investments in education, and that long run labor outcomes of Argentine men are persistently affected by the initial conditions upon graduation. Finally, I consider the “Mancession” dimension of the Great Recession in Spain and demonstrate that the resource share accruing to wives for own consumption increases together with the decreasing unemployment gap, which comes in support to the bargaining hypothesis

This thesis is concerned with part-time undergraduate students within the higher education system in England. In particular it focusses on the strategies this group of students employ to complete their degrees successfully. I place the experience of successful part-time students at the heart of the thesis because I think that it is vital in the twenty-first century to further our understanding of this heterogeneous group in order to have an accessible higher education system that does not by design discriminate against those who choose a particular mode of study. By doing this I create a collective narrative for part-time students. A small qualitative sample of completed part-time undergraduate students was interviewed to produce the data used herein.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The opening of large archives of satellite data such as LANDSAT, MODIS and the SENTINELs has given researchers unprecedented access to data, allowing them to better quantify and understand local and global land change. The need to analyze such large data sets has led to the development of automated and semi-automated methods for satellite image time series analysis. However, few of the proposed methods for remote sensing time series analysis are available as open source software. In this paper we present the R package dtwSat. This package provides an implementation of the time-weighted dynamic time warping method for land cover mapping using sequence of multi-band satellite images. Methods based on dynamic time warping are flexible to handle irregular sampling and out-of-phase time series, and they have achieved significant results in time series analysis. Package dtwSat is available from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) and contributes to making methods for satellite time series analysis available to a larger audience. The package supports the full cycle of land cover classification using image time series, ranging from selecting temporal patterns to visualizing and assessing the results.

Globally education authorities are placing increasing emphasis on the development of literacy and numeracy in primary schools. This paper reports on research designed to assist teachers to improve the
numeracy of their students by making the use of mathematics games a more focused aspect of the teaching and learning experience in mathematics. Classroom experience and anecdotal evidence suggest
that games are often used without really focussing on the mathematics involved in playing the game,and are justified simply on the basis of children having ‘fun’. In this paper we report on the use of one game, Numero and how teachers made use of the game and the impact on the children’s learning when using the game.

Cuevas, Tello Juan Carlos. "Estimating time delays between irregularly sampled time series." Thesis, University of Birmingham, 2007. http://etheses.bham.ac.uk//id/eprint/88/.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The time delay estimation between time series is a real-world problem in gravitational lensing, an area of astrophysics. Lensing is the most direct method of measuring the distribution of matter, which is often dark, and the accurate measurement of time delays set the scale to measure distances over cosmological scales. For our purposes, this means that we have to estimate a time delay between two or more noisy and irregularly sampled time series. Estimations have been made using statistical methods in the astrophysics literature, such as interpolation, dispersion analysis, discrete correlation function, Gaussian processes and Bayesian method, among others. Instead, this thesis proposes a kernel-based approach to estimating the time delay, which is inspired by kernel methods in the context of statistical and machine learning. Moreover, our methodology is evolved to perform model selection, regularisation and time delay estimation globally and simultaneously. Experimental results show that this approach is one of the most accurate methods for gaps (missing data) and distinct noise levels. Results on artificial and real data are shown.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2012.<br>Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 183-194).<br>First passage time or the first time that a stochastic process crosses a boundary is a random variable whose probability distribution is sought in engineering, statistics, finance, and other disciplines. The probability distribution of the first passage time has practical utility but is difficult to obtain because the values of the stochastic process at different times often constitute dependent random variables. As a result, most first-passage-time problems are still open and few of them are explicitly solved. In this thesis, we solve a large class of first-passage-time problems and demonstrate the applications of our solutions to networks that need to maintain common-time references. Motivated by rich applications of first passage time, we solve first-passage-time problems, which are divided into four categories according to the form of stochastic processes and the type of the boundaries. The four categories cover Brownian motion with quadratic drift and the boundary that consists of two constants; Brownian motion with polynomial drift of an arbitrary degree and the boundary that consists of two constants; multi-dimensional Brownian motion with polynomial drift and a class of boundaries that are characterized by open sets in the Euclidean space; and a discrete-time process with a class of correlations and the boundary that consists of one constant. These first-passage-time problems are challenging yet important for practical utility. The solutions to these first-passage-time problems range from an explicit expression to a bound of the first-passage-time distribution, reflecting the inherent difficulty in these first-passage-time problems. For Brownian motion with quadratic drift, the solution is explicit, consisting of elementary functions and functions that are characterized by Laplace transforms. For Brownian motion with polynomial drift of an arbitrary order, the solution involves analytical and numerical methods. For multi-dimensional Brownian motion, the solution is explicit for a certain shape of the boundary and is given by an upper bound and a lower bound for the other shapes. For the discrete-time process, the solution is explicit. The strength of our solutions is that they cover a large class of first-passage-time problems and are easy to use. The primary approach that allows us to solve these first-passage-time problems is transformation methodology. We apply various types of transformations, including transformation of probability measure, transformation of time, and integral transformation. Although these transformations are known, the combination of them in an appropriate order enables the solutions to previously-unsolved first-passage-time problems. We also discuss other problems that can be solved as consequences of the transformation methodology, including first-passage-time problems that involve a one-sided constant boundary, a moving boundary, and drifts such as logarithmic, exponential, sinusoidal, and square-root functions. A large class of first-passage-time problems confirms the utility of the transformation methodology. We demonstrate an application of the first-passage-time problems in the context of network synchronization. In the first setting that we consider, the first passage time is the first time that a network loses synchronization with a reference clock. At the first passage time, clocks in the network need to be calibrated. In the second setting, the first passage time represents the first time that a node achieves a correct synchronization of frames or packets. At the first passage time, a node in the network is able to process the packets that are transmitted as parts of the calibration. In both settings, we consider two performance metrics-the average and the outage-which succinctly summarize the first passage time. These metrics give insight, for example, into the amount of time for networks to lose synchronization as a function of key parameters such as noise in the clocks and the number of nodes in the network. Given the large class of first-passage-time problems being solved, we expect the thesis results to be useful in many disciplines where first-passage-time problems appear.<br>by Watcharapan Suwansantisuk.<br>Ph.D.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
<p> Since the Devonian Period, 360 million years ago, trees have been foundational for the survival of aerobic life. Today, most humans relate to trees through the idea, material and commodity of wood. This understanding is primarily informed by its use as a building material: the formal attributes of its grain pattern read to assess structural integrity and aesthetic applications. I think of these marks as autonomous and unique natural drawings, documenting time in a scale different from our lifespan. Wood’s composition of cellulose and lignin create patterns that record temporal fluctuations in precipitation and the unique soil compounds of each tree’s growth site as a codex. As an MFA candidate, I used woodworking techniques to explore the relationship between temporality and materiality. Along the way, I became interested in the reductive carving techniques of woodturning as a metaphor for this investigation: cutting through layers of time. Small segments of wood were laminated together in mathematical patterns and turned to reveal parabolic grids on the interior and exterior surface of each object. This study led me to consider the limitations that traditional art display conventions impose on the viewer’s perception of an artwork, and to the realization of the <i>Thoughtitarium; </i> an eight-foot diameter fiberglass hemisphere that hovered above the gallery floor in architectural scale.</p>

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In contemporary capitalist economies such as the UK, it is commonly held that an increasing number of people and households experience anxiety over time and symptoms of 'time squeeze'. Existing accounts of the character and causes of this phenomenon are rather one-dimensional and lacking in nuance, however. In part, this is because they typically lack any substantial theoretical engagement with the concept of time itself. Accordingly, this research aims to provide a more complex and contextual account of experiences of working time (both paid and unpaid), and to investigate how and why experiences of time squeeze vary between individuals and social groups. This is achieved by calling upon an enriched understanding of time, and employing an instrumental case study built around a set of 50 semi-structured interviews with employees working in Oxford University's central IT department and four of its constituent colleges. The empirical findings reveal that the (quantitative) extent and (qualitative) nature of participants' temporal anxieties vary with occupation, social class, gender, age and family status, as well as the importance of institutional and local context. Furthermore, they demonstrate that contemporary time squeeze is generated by a variety of causal mechanisms relating to the duration, tempo and timing of both paid employment and unpaid reproductive work, and their intersections with the personal, natural, social, institutional and technological rhythms that variously constitute everyday life.

Suettmann, Melanie. "Time will tell : time perspective in bipolar disorder." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2016. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/20464.
Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Background: Time Perspective is an individual difference variable that is believed to underpin ‘virtually all aspects of human functioning’ (Boniwell & Zimbardo, 2010). Indeed, it has so far predicted a large variety of outcome variables in previous research, including behaviours, attitudes, values, habits and decision-making. However, it has never been tested as a predictor of mood, or in psychiatric disorders. Time perspective theory posits that a balanced time perspective is necessary for healthy functioning. Time Perspective biases, on the other hand, are believed to lead to maladaptive functioning. This thesis investigates whether time perspective does also underpin and predict the most extreme ends of the mood spectrum in bipolar disorder. Participants: Three online studies were conducted with two samples of adults with bipolar disorders and one sample of adults with no mental health diagnosis. Setting: All samples were collected online, from across the world. Objectives: A series of studies investigated various aspects of time perspective theory to establish the relationship between mood and time perspective. Ten research questions were designed to answer questions on time perspective’s ability to differentiate and predict mood, and to find out whether or not it functions differently in normal and abnormal mood. It was also established whether time perspective predicts mood states differentially. Methodology: Regression analyses, MANOVAs, ANOVA and t-tests were performed to answer the research questions. Results: Our time perspective profile does indeed appear to underpin bipolar mood states. All five time perspectives were able to differentiate between four bipolar mood states. When considered separately, the five time perspectives did appear to predict mood states differentially, i.e. different time perspectives were predictors for separate bipolar mood states. Moreover, time perspective does appear to function significantly different in adults with no mental health diagnosis. Conclusions: The results of this series of studies suggests that time perspective indeed also underpins mood and can differentiate between normal and abnormal bipolar mood states. Compared to impulsiveness and BIS/BAS sensitivity, time perspective was able to explain more variance in these samples when used as a predictor.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
In this thesis, the vehicle routing problem with stochastic, and time dependent, travel times is studied. The stochastic travel times are estimated from historical drive data. The variation of the drive times, as well as that of the variance, during the day was modeled. The purpose of the thesis was to propose a method of handling the congestion related traffic impediments in an urban setting. Since the majority of times of delivery in the empirical test cases studied correlate with the time period of high traffic load, an efficient and robust handling of such traffic scenarios is of high importance. It is shown that the stochastic models will shift the estimated arrivals to customers from the more volatile early and late extremes to more central regions of the time window. Previously delivered routes were evaluated both with the standard algorithm and the proposed stochastic algorithm. The difference between the actual drive times and the calculated drive times were analyzed by studying the correlation of the drive times between each customer in the route. It was shown that the routes of the proposed stochastic method increased this correlation. The drive times between nodes where also perturbed with a Gamma distributed noise. The results from the stochastic algorithm showed higher resilience to this disturbance than did the deterministic models.<br>I detta examensarbete har fordonsruttningsproblemet, VRP, med stokastiska och tidsberonds körtider behandlöats. De stokastiska körtiderna har estimerats från tidigare insamlad hasighetsdata. Modeller för körtidernas och variansernas förändring under dagen har tagits fram. Syftet med examensarbetet var att föreslå en metod för hur påverkan på körtider av förutsägbar trafikträngsel i en urban trafikmiljö kan hanteras. Eftersom huvuddelen av alla leveranser sammanfaller med de tider på dygnet då trafikbelastning är som högst, ar är en effektiv och robust metod för att hantera sådana störningar av stor vikt. Det visas att den stokastiska modellen kommer att förflyttar ankomster från början och slutet av tidsfönstret till den mer okänsliga mittregionen. Tidigare, utförda leveranser studerades både med den ursprungliga deterministiska modellen och här framtagna stokastiska modellen. Skillnaden mellan de två analyserades genom att studera korrelationen mellan körtiderna som de beräknats av de två modellerna och de upmätta tiderna som de loggats av leveransfordonen. Det visas att korrelationen mellan körtiderna mellan de stokastiska körtiderna och de verkliga körtiderna är högre än korrelationen mellan de deterministiska körtiderna och de verkliga. Rutterna som föreslagits av den stokastiska modellen var också mer tlig mot störningar.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Time Fixtures, a composition for chamber ensemble and electronics, attempts to provide some compelling perspectives on fixing a conception of time. The electronics feature six speakers placed symmetrically around the audience that broadcast live electronic transformations and pre-constructed audio files. The ensemble consists of eleven players: flute (doubling alto flute), oboe, B♭ clarinet (doubling bass clarinet), horn, percussion, harp, piano, MIDI keyboard (doubling crotale/tangkas placed out of sight of the audience), violin, viola, and violoncello. Performance also requires a conductor as well as a technician who operates a Max/MSP performance patch and the mixing board.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, February 2000.<br>Includes bibliographical references (leaves 72-74).<br>Great strides have been made in the use of computers to create, edit, filter, and present information, particularly since the tremendous growth in the mainstream popularity of the World Wide Web. The presence of a computationally rich environment at all stages of the news distribution channel provides a unique opportunity to use these tools to improve the reader experience. Information provided for a general audience from a general source can be combined with small amounts of information specific to a reader to improve the reader's understanding of, connection to, and engagement with the news provided. Time Frames discusses the extraction of time information from news articles and explores the possibilities for improving the reader experience by augmenting news articles through combining this time information with limited information about the user.<br>Douglas Branch Koen.<br>S.M.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
The core of my investigation is the construction of narratives through film, self-fashioning and fashioning by others through the complex histories of cultural encounter — through colonialism, tourism, translation, ethnography. I will attempt to look at these encounters and the different forms of mimicry they have engendered as a positive force where the acquisition of ‘otherness’ becomes both performative and formative, immersive and mocking. I will look at both sides of the reflected gaze, and look for moments when through imitation/emulation/ mimicry one has tried to capture the other. In so doing I will navigate between the multiple subject positions and locations I personally inhabit as belonging and not belonging to the ‘east’ and the ‘west’, as constituting but also being produced by a cinematic apparatus, as embodied in the physical experience of the sweat, touch and dizziness of the dance while producing relations of power and spectatorship. I will draw on feminist film theory, postcolonial theory and theories of material culture to renegotiate the location of identity in the non-West and to consider ways of analysing cultural objects beyond disciplinary boundaries. The production of meaning has been theorised extensively in poststructuralist thought as one of endless displacement and infinite semiosis, yet is still held within bounded disciplines. The meanings circulate in all forms of cultural production and have the potential of producing fictions as well as analyses, inscriptions, as well as descriptions. The work we engage with as artists and researchers has also the potential of affecting and producing social relations, while trying to capture the relations in the making. The PhD submission will also include moving image, 16mm films on DVD referring to the current state of Zagreb and the war crime trials at the Hague.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
Efter andra världskriget var optimismen i Sverige på topp. Landet var skonat från förstörelse och ekonomin blomstrade. Folkhemmets ideal genomsyrade samhällets alla skikt och detta märktest tydligt på Telefonplan. I ett stort nybyggt funkishus hade LM Ericsson precis flyttat in med sina 5000 anställda. Den rationella fabriken hade byggts efter tayloristiska principer där verkstadens arbete analyserats och standardiserats. Staden åtog sig att dra fram spårvagnen från Svandammen, de anställda byggde småhus runt fabriken och LM byggde daghem och kulturhus. Tillslut blev det ett litet samhälle där allt kretsade kring Telefonfabriken, LM-andan blev ett begrepp. Men optimismen och idealen dog sakta ut. Telefonplan blev en tråkig plats dit inga unga ville flytta. 2004 förändrades det, Ericsson hade flyttat och en ”utbildningsindustri” tog över fabrikens lokaler och optimismen kom att blomstra igen. Med Konstfack centralt placerad på fabrikens verkstadsgolv blev denna ”kreativa industri” det som arbetare vallfärdade till från Telefonplans tunnelbanestation. Högskolorna reformeras nu i Sverige, liksom i hela Europa. Utbildningarna ska frambringa forskare, lärare och studenter som uppfyller från början noggrant fixerade mål. Produkterna ska återigen standardiseras. Telefonplan blir ett exempel på ett samhälle i förändring, tron på att ett framtida välstånd som numera inte skapas av ett fåtal jättelika bolag utan av små kreativa kunskapsintensiva företag. Med utbildningen i centrum ska Telefonplan nu bli Sveriges nya kreativa nav för konst och design. En inkubator för kreativa entreprenörer som ska ta plats i ett klimat där stad, näringsliv och akademi tillsammans bygger framtiden.

Texto completo da fonteResumo:
My paintings are a combination of transparent images merged with paint and wax. As each piece of art develops, the process is the same. The beginning relies on memory or some connection to my past. Then, the progression evolves through a symbolic infancy with an emerging learning experience, which ultimately transforms into a creative piece, along the road less traveled…to the journey’s end. The transparency comes from the image transfer process, which produces a “ghostly” or antique image due to the deteriorated effect of the image in the transfer. The photographic transfers suggest the image without being so bold as to dominate the overall piece of artwork. The encaustic medium that I use to create the surfaces in my work allows me to explore the features of a sculptural medium. I am able to carve into, apply texture, and build up relief on the surface of each piece. The paint hidden in the crevices or layered on the surface adds emphasis and creates focal points in the painting.
