The thesis spans two volumes ... Volume two is an artist's book and although it is part of the project I have set myself, it is not being submitted with the theoretical component of the MA dissertation, but as part of the practical component.' -- Abstract.Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2007.
ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The thesis investigates the contemporary practice of book art, examining in particular the manner in which it fits both into the tradition of the book and the tradition of art making. The thesis spans two volumes. Volume One discusses the phenomenon of the artist's book from three vantage points: the attempts to define it, the attempts to catalogue it and the attempts to interpret it. Volume Two is an artist's book and although it is part of the project I have set myself, it is not being submitted with the theoretical component of the MA dissertation, but as part of the practical component. (Briefly, one of the tasks it embarks upon is an examination of the phenomenon of thesis writing, as understood and endeavoured by myself in the production of the first volume - in this sense it is self-reflective. Another is an examination of some aspects of my attempts to make examples of artist's books, which includes an investigation of some of the recurrent themes and preoccupations of my work) Volume One is set out in three chapters. The first chapter pursues a definition of book art and the artist's book in order to draw some perimeters around the subject, and to build a picture of its nature. In the course of doing this, the ideas of some book artists and book art commentators are considered in an attempt to create a richer tapestry of understanding. In the next chapter some of the ways in which book art has been categorised are discussed. This is in order to more finely delineate the nature and scope of book art. It is also to bring some clarity to bear upon the different components and manifestations of a vast and sometimes confusing oeuvre. I then suggest a system of classification of my own which offers an adjacent model for investigating artists' books and the endeavour of book art. With the above model in place, I undertake a foray into the arena of interpretation. Here I suggest the suitability of adopting certain methodologies of interpretation that come from the field of contemporary literary studies in general, and the interpretation of poetry in particular. I draw comparisons between the book artist and the poet, and suggest that they occupy a similar territory of meaning making. In the course of laying out my arguments in the three chapters, I refer extensively to examples of artists' books in order to make particular points. Where I consider it apt, I draw upon my book art as a source of example. In this way, I am able to weave into the text some information and reflection about my own practice and concerns as a book artist.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Daar word in die tesis ondersoek ingestel na die hedendaagse praktyk van die boekkuns en in die besonder die wyse waarop dit aansluit by die tradisie van die boek en die tradisie van die kuns. Die tesis beslaan twee volumes. Volume Een bespreek die fenomeen van die kunstenaarsboek vanuit drie invalshoeke: pogings om dit te definieer, pogings om dit te katalogisieer en pogings om dit te interpreteer. Volume Twee is 'n kunstenaarsboek en, hoewel dit deel uitmaak van die projek wat ek ondemeem het, word dit nie voorgele saam met die teoretiese komponent van die MA- dissertasie nie maar as deel van die praktiese komponent. (Een van die take wat dit ondemeem is, kortliks, 'n ondersoek van die fenomeen tesis-skryf soos ek dit met die produksie van die eerste volume self verstaan en benader het - in die sin is dit selfreflektief. 'n Ander taak is 'n ondersoek van sekere aspekte van my pogings om kunstenaarsboeke te maak, insluitende 'n ondersoek na van die deurlopende temas en preokupasies van my werk.) Volume Een bestaan uit drie hoofstukke. Die eerste hoofstuk streef na 'n definisie van die boekkuns en die kunstenaarsboek met die doel om die onderwerp nader te ornlyn en 'n beeld daarvan op te bou. In die proses word die idees van 'n aantal boekkunstenaars en boekkuns-kommentatore oorweeg in die poging om n ryker begripstapisserie te weef. In die daaropvolgende hoofstuk word van die wyses waarop die boekkuns gekategoriseer is, bespreek, om die aard en rykwydte van die boekkuns nog nader te omlyn. Dit work ook gedoen om lig te werp op die verskillende onderdele en manifestasies van 'n omvangryke en soms verwarrende oeuvre. Ek stel vervolgens my eie klassifiseringsisteem voor, wat 'n verdere model hied vir die ondersoek van kunstenaarsboeke en die boekkunsbedryf. Aan die hand van hierdie model betree ek dan die arena van interpretasie. Ek stel voor dat sekere interpretasiemetodes ontleen aan die tydgenootlike literatuurwetenskap, en spesifiek die interpreteer van poesie, oorweeg word. Ek vergelyk die boekkunstenaar met die digter en stel voor dat hulle op soortgelyke wyses met die skep van betekenis omgaan. In die loop van die uiteensetting van my argument in drie hoofstukke, verwys ek ekstensief na voorbeelde van kunstenaarsboeke om spesifieke punte te maak. Waar ek dit as gepas beskou, verwys ek, by wyse van illustrasie, na my eie boekkuns. Op hierdie manier is dit vir my moontlik om inligting en besinning oor my eie praktyk en pre-okkupasies as boekkunstenaar met die teks te verweef.

I regard the culturally rich bookbinding as formats that hold great meaning; I made models of books that existed in different cultures through the history of the book. I became interested in how each structure had unique features and how the books themselves transmitted knowledge about their form.
This interest in bookbinding formats led me to explore ways to add content to The binding plays a powerful role in producing my artist's books, the look and presence of these bindings is an integral part of my work and they are linked to the content and aesthetics. The final pieces encourage the viewer to interact with the work.

This study focuses on developing a book arts curriculum as a tool for teaching about creativity and problem solving. The curriculum's ultimate goal is to introduce and emphasize book arts as an expressive and powerful medium to future teachers and artists.
Book arts will be used to offer potentialities for collaborative, learner-centered instruction. Students will create structures and artists' books from their experience, their learning will emerge from personal interactions with the structures and artists' books presented.
The curriculum is planned into three modules, each module containing a different set of projects and activities organized to scaffold students learning in an engaging process. The modules examine book structures, artists' books, and a project that can either further explore book structures and artists books, or it can explore incorporating some other aspect of book arts in the project. Each module provides a broad range of examples, discussions, questions, and applications.

The conceptual foundation for my creative thesis work is based in research into the development of science, particularly the field of cosmology, and its related visual vocabulary. Three interrelated projects encompass my interests in unique artists' books and variable editions, research based projects, codified presentation of data, and universal interconnectedness, or oneness in all things, that was at the heart of medieval cosmology and is embraced by some 21st century subcultures.
The thematic timeline of the artwork spans developments in the Early Middle Ages related to astronomy and cosmology and through 20th century guidebooks and NASA's social media accounts. The resulting artwork includes an artist's book, sculptural bookwork, monoprints, and an edition of broadsides.

Alain De Botton writes in The Architecture of Happiness, that “any object of design will give off an impression of the psychological and moral attitudes it supports.” Interpreting design then is done by understanding the attitudes of the designer, which either will or will not resonate with the viewer. I may consider the formal and conceptual merits of an object of design, but ultimately my attitudes determine whether the object will have resonance with me. These “attitudes” are, anthropologically speaking, values: what a person finds most good, proper, or desirable in life. Values are the key to the creation of objects of design that resonate. The purpose of this study is to gain insight into my values and refine their manifestation in my work. By defining those values, I can examine how my work might resonate with others.

Анотація:
The books and papers offered in this submission are concerned with the history of books and the book trade. Three papers (nos. 1, 2, 3) offer a theoretical and conceptual framework for historical studies of the book. In essence, it is argued that since the book is a societal object it can only be understood in a societal context. Consequently historical studies of books are concerned with far more than physical bibliography, important as that is. The writing, publishing and reading of books are activities which develop out of, and influence the further development of, political and economic systems. The political context of publishing and its legal status is of central concern to the book historian (nos. 12, 14, 15); so too are the mechanisms of sale and distribution (nos. 9, 10, 11, 16) and the relationships between the author who is the primary producer, and the publisher who provides his commercial link with the reader (no. 13). More specifically, the central group of works is concerned with the provincial book trade in 18th-century England. The general study (no. 8) is a wide-ranging survey, largely based on primary sources, of the development and operation of the complex systems which allowed the printed word to permeate English society at every level and in every part of the country between 1700 and 1800. Shorter studies consider some more detailed aspects of the same subject (nos. 4, 6, 7) and survey previous work in the field (no. 5 ).

Анотація:
Throughout the late medieval period, books were an integral part of religious monastic life, and yet such objects have received little attention from an analytical archaeological perspective, despite the significant quantity of metal book fittings recovered from archaeological sites. This thesis explores the archaeological collections held by English Heritage together with published excavation reports, investigating late medieval book fittings, dating between the mid-eleventh and mid-sixteenth centuries, which have been archaeologically recovered from English monastic sites. This work presents the first typology of these artefacts and considers in detail the many and varied forms of late medieval book fittings. In order to contextualise and give a clear understanding of this material, this study investigates late medieval book production, monasticism, and the types of books housed within monasteries and the locations in which they were used and stored. This research goes on to examine the wider social and cultural contexts of book fittings within late medieval monastic society using pictorial and documentary evidence, and extant late medieval bookbindings and library catalogues, in conjunction with the archaeological material. The themes explored include the types of books on which book fittings were used, the influences of different monastic orders, their geographical distribution and the significance of their deposition, particularly as part of the Dissolution of the Monasteries. By undertaking these methods of investigation, it has become clear that, within the catalogue, different forms of book fittings and styles of decoration were more commonly used in certain regions and by particular monastic orders, and that significant numbers of books were destroyed and their fittings disposed of during the Dissolution in the 1530s both on and away from monastic sites. This research brings together both archaeological and historical approaches to the study of late medieval book fittings, creating an innovative and broad-based study of this particular form of material culture so leading to a new insight into the archaeology of late medieval books.

Анотація:
This work is concerned with research in the field of electronic publishing and, more particularly, of electronic books. It concentrates on an analysis of the stages of development of an electronic book from the acquisition of the source material to the actual use of electronic books, with particular attention to the interface design issues. The main objective of this research is to demonstrate the appropriateness of adopting the paper book metaphor for representing electronic books, which are specifically designed to be parts of an electronic library. In addition, these electronic books are produced semi-automatically using a flexible publishing environment. A model for an electronic book (hyper-book) and an environment which supplies tools for generating electronic books (hyper-book builder) have been defined and successively developed. Hyper-books are produced by importing electronic texts (in SGML or ASCII format) into an empty template, and by applying a number of tools in order to provide appropriate layout and reader services. Hyper-books incorporate hypertext features (e.g. history facilities and links), paper book features, and some other computer facilities (e.g. search functions). Design principles for hyper-books have been partially deduced from paper publishing and from experiments with electronic books. An application in the environmental domain (in particular, in the area of Global Change) was developed and used in order to evaluate the hyper-book system. The objectives of the evaluation were mainly to assess system usability and utility. An evaluation conducted by assigning a number of tasks to two different groups of subjects (computer experts and computer non-experts) has demonstrated that both groups achieved a good performance; therefore, computer expertise does not represent a significant aid in order to perform better or execute tasks quickly. These results lead to the conclusion that the system is easy to learn and use by everyone, therefore it is appropriate to employ the book metaphor.

This thesis examines the Roman book, its materials and manufacture, the process of composition, how it was 'published' and distributed, the role of a literary text in an oral society, and how the book contributed both to the selfself- justification of the ruling elite and to popular culture. It rejects the traditional picture of how 'publishing' took place in the period 80 BCE to 120 CE, the period of greatest Latin literary productivity, and substitutes a different picture, based on the literary evidence, of what a Roman author did to gain recognition. The roles of alleged 'publishers', bookshops and libraries are discussed. Also discussed are the pros and cons of materials (papyrus versus parchment or paper), format (Roman scroll versus codex) and presentation of text (without punctuation or word spaces). The thesis argues that retention or adoption of papyrus, the scroll and the 'river of letters' was neither conservative nor retrograde, but derived from the social circumstances and types of use of the Roman book. The contribution of slaves as the 'enabling infrastructure' of Roman literary life is emphasised. As a physical object, the Roman book is recognised as having a range of functions - cultural icon, elegant prestige symbol, item in a gift-exchange culture, memento to the author's life. The text itself is defined as an 'enabling device' which, like a music score, is both a record of some past oral performance or reading-aloud, and a means to generate future oral performances, whether private readings (probably aloud), after-dinner entertainments, theatrical performances, or adaptations as libretti for the Roman dance theatre (the 'pantomime'). The hazards that faced a Roman book and its author are discussed, ranging from bookworms and fire to imperial book-burning and treason. The thesis concludes that the Roman book was both a product of, and contributor to, Rome's elite culture, and a product of, and contributor to, the common fund of references and stories that helped to define for all classes what 'being Roman' meant as part of their 'Romanitas'.

The purpose of this study is to question the idea of the book in general and how this idea is transforming in electronic space, understood as a space of flows as distinct to a space of places (Castells, 1989, p. 349). In order to question the idea of the book in electronic space we must begin at its ending, or more specifically, at a point in the histories of the book that is widely understood as representing a closing of a parenthesis - that began with the invention of the printing press, up to the end of print—spanning some 500 years, beginning half way through the 15th century in Western Europe.

Stångåstaden is a mortgage company owned by Linköping municipality. They have over the years contributed to a number of outdoor artworks all around their home properties. Since they have a very poor documentation of these artworks a photo book will be developed to showcase these artworks. Our job is tocreate a concept for this photo book as well as doing research of the art In order to create good and viable guidelines for the photo book one must first find out more bout photo books and how differtent motivies are portryed in thebest way. so the main thesis of this report ti to research how different types of photo books portray their motives and visuales information, then translate that into guidelines for an intresting informative and visually attractive photo book för stångostaden. To be able to answer the thesis a genre analysis was chosen as a method because it helps with the understanding of a specific genre and its different elements, as well as provides inspiration which suits this report very well. Before doing the genre analysis a literature study was conducted with the focus on relevance for image composition and book design in specific. With the literature study as a foundation a model for analysis was create on which the genre analysis was made. The genre analysis was done on five very different books chosen from the Swedish photographers associations yearly photo book award. As a result of the literature study and the genre analysis five different concept--‐ spreads were create to illustrated the whole final concept. These are a map for overview and division, close--‐ups for details, many pictures to show different sides, full site with specific purposes and environmental images for relations. More general guidelines for the concept are that every artwork is going to have at least one spread alone. All the pictures will be in colour in order to be able to create more effective contrasts in favour of the artwork. Furthermore it is important to work with composition, perspective and format to create balance and hierarchy to enhance each artwork.Stångåstaden är ett kommunalt bostadsbolag som ägs av Linköpings kommun. De har genom åren bidragit till ett antal utomhus konstverk runt om i deras bostadsområden. Eftersom de har en mycket vag dokumentation av dessa konstverk så kommer en fotobok att utvecklas för att sätta ihop en sammanställning av alla konstverk samt för att visa upp dem. Vårt jobb är att skapa ett koncept för denna fotobok samt göra research av konstverken och fotografera dem. För att skapa bra och hållbara riktlinjer för fotobok måste man först veta mer om fotoböcker och hur olika motiv skildras på bästa sätt. Så syftet med denna rapport är att undersöka hur olika typer av fotoböcker porträttera sina motiv och visualisera information och utifrån detta formge riktlinjer för en intressant, informativ och snygg fotobok för Stångåstaden. För att kunna svara på syftet har en genreanalys valts som metod eftersom det hjälper med förståelsen av en viss genre och dess olika element, samt ger inspiration vilket passar detta syfte väl. Innan genreanalysen genomfördes en litteraturstudie med specifik fokus på bildkomposition och bok design. Med litteraturstudien som grund skapades en modell för analys utifrån vilket genreanalysen gjordes. Genrenanalysen gjordes på fem mycket olika böcker som valts ut med hjälp av Svenska fotografers förbunds årliga fotobokspris. Som ett resultat av litteraturstudien och genreanalysen framställdes fem olika uppslagskoncept för att illustrerade hela det slutgiltiga konceptet. Dessa är en karta för översikt och uppdelning, närbilder för detaljer, många bilder att visa olika sidor, helbilder med specifika ändamål och miljöbilder för relation. Mer generella riktlinjer för konceptet är att varje konstverk kommer att ha minst ett uppslag var. Alla bilder kommer att vara i färg för att kunna skapa mer effektiva kontraster till förmån för konstverken. Dessutom är det viktigt att arbeta med komposition, perspektiv och format för att skapa balans och hierarki för att framhäva varje konstverk.

Electronic media have lagged behind their paper progenitors in the clear, usable display of large bodies of information. New visual languages have been created for information display which exploit the computer's unique ability to render dynamic and three-dimensional typography. These languages demonstrate that the use of three dimensional form, expressive movement, visual focus and layering, in harmony with human perceptual abilities, improve navigation and contextual understanding of complex written documents. This thesis shows that graphic displays can be combined with physical interfaces to create interactions with purely typographic information that are rich, tactile and humane.

In this brief study we investigate how Projected Periphery can create, improve, and augment reading by manipulating the physical book, and the area around it, using projections. Throughout the study, I conduct design engagements, rapid prototyping, and workshops with the intention of identifying meaningful interactions. Two primary contexts of use are identified and analysed with an emphasis on developing usable design conventions and laying the foundation for a Mixed Reality Book system. The result is a working prototype, analysis of the research and challenges, and an exploration of how this technology could be shaped further and deployed.

This thesis is a collection of nine short stories about real people dealing with unreal problems. In one story, a small-town man answers a knock at his door, only to find three wisemen, who have followed a star and proclaimed him as their new messiah. In another, a reporter travels across the snowy length of Canada looking to interview people who have witnessed the Virgin Mary materialize above Toronto. Deranged Egyptologists, vampires with diseased blood, wacky witches, and unhappy mediums all inhabit tales whose landscapes span the distance between Chattanooga, Tennessee and the afterlife.

Die Morphologie der Buchlungen von Arachniden (Arachnida Lamarck, 1801 – Arthropoda, Chelicerata) wurde in der vorliegenden Dissertation einer streng vergleichenden Analyse unterzogen, welche mit Hilfe moderner Methoden eine neue Sicht auf die Phylogenie der Arachniden eröffnet. Aus dem Vergleich mit den potentiellen Schwestergruppen (Xiphosura, Eurypterida) und mit Skorpionsfossilien erweist sich der einmalige Landgang eines gemeinsamen Vorfahrens aller rezent terrestrischen Arachniden. Buchlungen-Daten von 200 rezenten + 2 fossilen Skorpionen, 16 Geißelspinnen (Amblypygi), 17 Geißelskorpionen (Thelyphonida), einem Schizomiden (Schizomida), einem ausgestorbenen Trigonotarbiden (Trigonotarbida) und der Außengruppe, den rezenten Pfeilschwanzkrebsen (Xiphosura), wurden zu einem illustrierten Katalog zusammengestellt. Die unüberschaubare Vielfalt der oft graduell variierenden Strukturen macht die eindeutige Definition der Merkmale und auftretenden Merkmalszustände notwendig. Es wurden folgende 5 Merkmale definiert: (1) die Oberflächen der Atemlamellen, (2) der Lamellenrand, (3) der posteriore Stigmenrand, (4) der anteriore Stigmenrand und (5) die Wand des Atriums. Hierbei tragen die Merkmale 1-3 mit ihrer unerwarteten Fülle innerhalb der Skorpione maßgeblich zur Aufklärung ihrer Verwandtschaftsverhältnisse bei. Ähnliches wird von den Merkmalen 4 und 5 bezogen auf die Uropygi s. lat. vermutet. Ein sechstes Merkmal (Sensillen/Poren) wurde definiert, doch nur vereinzelt erfasst. Raster-Elektronenmikroskopie diente der Erfassung der cuticulären Feinstruktur der Buchlungen. Die Struktur der Buchlungen im Gesamten wurde mittels histologischer Schnittserien und mit auf µCT basierenden 3D-Rekonstruktionen untersucht. Für die Untersuchung von Trigonotarbiden-Fossilien wurde eine Methode entwickelt, die 3D-Rekonstruktion aus Sequenzen von Mikrofotos in unterschiedlichen Fokusebenen generiert.Strict comparative analyses of the morphology of arachnid book lungs (Arachnida Lamarck, 1801 - Arthropoda: Chelicerata) were carried out in the present doctoral thesis using modern methods, resulting in a new perspective on arachnid phylogeny. Comparisons with potential aquatic sistergroups (Xiphosura and/or Eurypterida) and fossil scorpions give rise to the hypothesis of the unique terrestrialization of ancestors, which is common for all arachnids. Data from 200 Recent + 2 extinct scorpions, 16 whip spiders (Amblypygi), 17 whip scorpions (Thely-phonida), 1 schizomid (Schizomida), 1 extinct trigonotarbid (Trigonotarbida) and 1 outgroup - horseshoe crab (Xiphosura) are assembled into an illustrated catalogue of arachnid book lungs. Following the observations of these gradually differing cuticular structures the vast variation of book-lung fine structure across Arachnida requires unequivocal definition of characters and character states. Five characters are defined, which are assigned to distinct homologous book-lung structures: (1) the surface structure of the respiratory lamellae, (2) structure of the distal edges of the lamellae, (3) the posterior edge of the spiracle, (4) the anterior edge of the spiracle and (5) the structure of the wall lining the atrial chamber. Especially the book-lung characters 1-3 contain unexpected information, which helps resolve relationships within Scorpiones to a high degree, and characters 4 and 5 are of considerable importance for Uropygi s. lat. One sixth character (sensilla/pores) is mentioned, but sporadically examined. However, cuticular book-lung fine structure is studied using SEM, the gross morphology is reassessed using histological sectioning and 3D-reconstructions based on µCT. For investigations on trigonotabid fossils a new method yielding 3D-reconstructions from stacks of subsequent focal layers was developed.

Nelle scorse decadi, il libro ha esercitato una forte fascinazione sugli artisti contemporanei che lo hanno crescentemente implementato nelle loro pratiche. La prima parte di questo studio si propone di relativizzare le distinzioni basate sul paradigma del libro d’artista (come è stato costruito, teorizzato e istituzionalizzato tra gli anni Sessanta e Ottanta) e suggerisce di guardare al libro rintracciando le mutue influenze e la rilevanza storica di quelle che, nel contesto di questa ricerca, sono considerate le tre tipologie principali in cui e attraverso le quali esso si articola (libro d’arte, libro d’artista, catalogo di mostra). Queste tre tipologie sono contestualizzate e discusse sia storicamente che criticamente, focalizzandosi sui processi che hanno portato alla loro creazione e diffusione così come sui contesti in cui sono stati teoretizzati e dibattuti. La seconda parte della ricerca è interamente dedicata alla produzione libraria di Matthew Barney. Prendendo il lavoro dell’artista americano Matthew Barney (*1967) come caso di studio esemplare, questa parte mette in luce alcune delle modalità attraverso le quali egli ha fatto del libro uno strumento essenziale del suo linguaggio artistico.

CONSELHO NACIONAL DE DESENVOLVIMENTO CIENTÍFICO E TECNOLÓGICOAo longo da história do livro, novas tecnologias e meios de produção alteraram-lhe a estrutura, modificaram-lhe a forma e sua relação com o leitor: no ocidente, a passagem do volumen ao codex e a imprensa de Gutenberg são exemplos de algumas dessas transformações. Partindo da visão do historiador francês Roger Chartier, hoje, diante do texto eletrônico, a oposição entre o livro e a tela deixa seu lugar para novas formas de escrita e leitura em ambiente digital. Deste modo, a passagem de textos do códice (codex) impresso às telas dos computadores (e outros dispositivos eletrônicos) representa uma mudança no livro, que abrange, simultaneamente, sua estrutura, sua organização, seus modos de escrita e sua visualidade, além de representar uma transformação cultural, no que diz respeito a sua morfologia, sua reprodução, distribuição e relação com o leitor. Do ponto de vista do Design, a tecnologia digital e a hipermídia trazem possibilidades diversas e novas abordagens projetuais. As páginas são convertidas em territórios híbridos, nos quais tipografia, imagem, som e movimento envolvem o leitor durante o ato da leitura, construindo um livro virtual que somente existirá no ciberespaço e na mente inquieta do leitor. Isto significa um novo conceito de livro e sua reformulação enquanto um projeto visual. Neste contexto, a presente pesquisa aborda o design de livros, sua relação com a literatura e a investigação de formas narrativas desenvolvidas para serem veiculadas em ambiente digital. Trata-se de uma reflexão entre forma e conteúdo, buscando relacionar, por um lado, características do livro eletrônico que são próprias deste novo meio e, por outro heranças que mantêm suas raízes firmadas no solo do livro impresso.
The history of the book in the West shows how new technologies and ways of reproduction have changed the book`s structure, and modified its form and relationship with the reader. The supremacy of the codex over the volumen (scroll) and Gutenberg`s movable type (the printing press) are examples of these revolutionary transformations. According to the French historian Roger Chartier, nowadays the electronic text is making the opposition between book and screen disappear, and fostering new writing forms and reading in digital media. Texts become different on the printed page and on the computer screen (as well as in many other electronic gadgets). This represents a book change, which includes, simultaneously, structure, organization, writing manners and appearance. Its further, represents a cultural transformation in the book form, reproduction, distribution and relationship with the reader. A virtual book exists only in cyberspace and in the reader`s mind. In Design, digital technology and hypermedia bring several possibilities and new thoughts about a book`s project. Its pages are converted in hybrid territories, where typography, image, sound and movement involve the reader during the reading action. This means a new concept and the revision of the book`s visual project. This research approaches book design, literature and the narrative forms developed for digital media reading. It deals with form and content, looking for new characteristics of the electronic book as a novelty, and tries to find out which one is surviving this change from print book to screen.

This thesis comprises of five chapters. The first chapter gives a brief introduction on the existing literature about the optimal trading order execution problem, the concept of limit order book, market impact models and their underlying market microstructure. We will also provide some brief review on the regularity problem of market impact model and the resilience effect of the LOB market. Some notions about the limit order book trading will also be introduced in this chapter. The second chapter, a game theoretical model given by Rosu [74] is introduced and the same side and opposite side resilience are reinterpreted for this model. The solution structure of a Markov equilibrium of this model is obtained for the same side resilience by providing a rigourous mathematical analysis. We also provide a sufficient condition for the existence of real-valued solutions under this situation. We also reproduce the results in Rosu [74] about the opposite side resilience in this LOB model. In the third chapter, we extend the LOB market impact model in Obizhaeva and Wang [65] by introducing two sides resilience and a general LOB shape function. Two existing LOB market impact models are then replicated by our extended model, allowing the cross-impact resilience rate going to zero and infinity respectively. In the last two chapters, we conduct two applications of our extended market impact model. These two applications are able to help us study the optimal execution problem and the market regularity issues. We find out that the minimum cost of the zero-spread LOB model is a lower bound of the minimum cost of our extended market impact LOB model and those models with zero bid-ask spread have weaker regularity conditions than those with a non-zero bid-ask spread.

This thesis explores how the reader is invited to read the books of Martial’s Epigrams, arguing that the epigrammatist has arranged the poems in his libelli in a specific order that rewards a sequential reading of the text from start to finish. Instead of viewing Martial as an anthologist who collated a series of occasional poems for their later publication, the thesis demonstrates that the poet showed awareness of his epigrams’ position within a larger ‘contexture’, and that he primes the reader throughout the Epigrams to envisage the books as thematically unified wholes. By viewing the Epigrams as a text to be read from beginning to end, rather than a text to be excerpted and anthologised, one can read each epigram in the wider context of its book, and better appreciate that book’s structural unity. Chapter one introduces the issues at stake in how one reads a book of epigrams, and provides the thesis’ methodological approach. Special attention is paid to the phenomenology of reading as a hermeneutic act, drawing together approaches to the Epigrams from classical scholarship as well as from reception and comic book theories to detail the method of ‘cumulative reading’ employed in the thesis. The second chapter then examines how Martial characterises the lector studiosus in his text, and how this depicted reader acts as a model for the actual reader to follow in their own sequential reading of the Epigrams. Chapter three focuses on Epigrams 7, demonstrating that the opening poems of the book establish the emperor Domitian as a thematic centrepiece around whom the rest of the book’s themes cluster. The fourth chapter also examines book 7, demonstrating how two different uses of watery motifs develop their individual thematic unity across the book, while also linking themselves back to the book’s opening imperial cycle to craft an overarching structural unity for the libellus. Chapter five then gives an overview of the larger structure of the Epigrams, arguing that the paratextual prose prefaces in books 1, 2, 8, 9, and 12 reinforce the individuality of the books they precede as well as establishing their own place within the wider corpus. Overall, this thesis puts the epigrammatic libellus back into the context of late first century AD book culture, emphasising that Martial paid attention not only to his epigrams’ position within their own books, but also their place within the wider corpus.

The twenty-first century came under the great impact of the media revolution and the new electronic and digital information technologies, which led to the introduction of different means of communication, especially in academia, which facilitated the production of and access to information. Since 2009, the Federal University of Ceará had the policy to purchase eBook titles as need to insert academia into this new model of teaching and research practices. Thus, its main University Library has acquired a collection of electronics books on various fields, available to all university community, as an alternative source of information for research, teaching and community services. Observing this fact and knowing the need to evaluate products and services for libraries, this research proposes the following problem: What factors are considered decisive for the use of electronic books, available on the UFC´s library system for graduate students and Professors in all graduate programs? The research methodology works with quantitative and qualitative data, collected through electronic questionnaires, developed and applied through google docs tool. This will allow us to translate the answers into numbers and information, in order to organize them and to facilitate the analysis and suggestions for this new knowledge. This is an exploratory survey with a random sample, with no final conclusive arguments. The method of data analysis is the functionalist, accomplished through study of selected cases showing relevance to the research. To tabulate the data, we used the Microsoft Excel program. As a result, it was observed that teachers have demonstrated more knowledge on the existence of the collection of electronic books purchased and available by UFC than the students. In contrast, students demonstrated knowing more strategies of access than the teachers. As to the importance and satisfaction with this type of collection, students have a better knowledge on the electronic library than teachers. Even being unaware of this collection, students consider it very important. Teachers who don´t know the existence of this type of collection consider it more important than teachers who know it. To the degree of satisfaction, teachers demonstrated to be more satisfied than the students with the eBook collection. It was evident that the factors that contributed to the use of eBooks were: its gratuity at UFC portal, its wide availability and practicality. The factors that contributed to the failure of the use of this feature are: lack of motivation, information not included in the basic bibliographies, lack of a more significant disclosure, need for a tool to access it, and finally, resistance to change, once the public not want to change the pleasure of leafing a printed book to a virtual one.
O século XXI chegou sob o grande impacto da revolução dos meios de comunicação e das novas tecnologias eletrônicas e digitais da informação, que ocasionou a introdução de diferentes suportes, sobretudo no meio acadêmico, que facilitaram a produção e o acesso à informação. A partir de 2009, a Universidade Federal do Ceará passou a adquirir títulos de livros eletrônicos como exigência de inserção nesse novo modelo de ensino e práticas de pesquisas. Com isso, a sua Biblioteca Universitária adquiriu para o seu acervo uma coleção de livros eletrônicos nas mais variadas áreas do conhecimento, disponível a toda comunidade universitária, como fonte alternativa de informação para a pesquisa, ensino e extensão. Observando-se esse fato e sabendo-se da necessidade de se avaliar produtos e serviços de bibliotecas, esta pesquisa propõe o seguinte problema: Quais fatores são considerados determinantes para o uso dos livros eletrônicos comprados e disponibilizados no sistema de bibliotecas da UFC, por alunos e professores dos programas de pós-graduação dessa instituição, contemplados com esse tipo de acervo? A pesquisa optou por uma metodologia quanti-qualitativa, através de questionários eletrônicos elaborados e aplicados por meio da ferramenta google docs, por buscar traduzir em números, as respostas e informações, bem como a fala dos participantes, e organizá-las de modo a facilitar análise e proposição dos conhecimentos novos. Trata-se de uma pesquisa exploratória, com uma amostragem não probabilística, pois, devido à estratégia de coleta de dados, torna-se inviável uma amostra definitiva. O método de análise dos dados é o funcionalista, realizado por meio de estudo de casos selecionados a partir da pertinência mais próxima com a pesquisa. Para a tabulação dos dados, utilizou-se o programa Microsoft Excel. Como resultado, observou-se que os professores demonstraram ter mais conhecimento da existência do acervo de livros eletrônicos comprados e disponibilizados pela UFC que os estudantes. Em contrapartida, os estudantes demonstraram conhecer mais as estratégias de acesso que os professores. Quanto ao quesito importância e satisfação com esse tipo de acervo, os estudantes demonstraram melhor relação com o acervo eletrônico que os professores. Entretanto, os estudantes que não têm conhecimento desse acervo, em sua maioria, o consideram muito importante. Já professores que desconhecem este tipo de acervo o consideram mais importante do que professores que conhecem. Quanto ao grau de satisfação, professores demonstraram estar mais satisfeitos que os estudantes com esse tipo de acervo. Ficou evidente que os fatores que mais contribuíram para o uso dessa nova mídia foram: a gratuidade pelo portal da UFC; a ampla disponibilidade e a praticidade. Os fatores que mais contribuíram para a não utilização desse recurso são: falta de motivação; não constarem nas bibliografias; falta de uma divulgação mais expressiva; necessidade de uma ferramenta para o acesso e, por último, a resistência à mudanças; o público para não querer trocar o prazer de folhear um livro impresso pela rigidez de um eletrônico.

The aim of this literature review is to investigate what previous research indicates about how students’ reading development is influenced when reading ordinary books or e-books, but also how their attitudes towards reading are influenced. I will also use Henk Linskens’s (2018) work Henke och Bokstäverna som Hoppar to exemplify my perspective on the results from the research. The result of all the research gathered indicates that there are no significant differences in reading development among students using e-books or traditional books. It appears to be slightly better to use traditional books to promote reading comprehension, while e-books seem to promote students’ word knowledge slightly better. In order to achieve a good result in both cases, a more knowledgeable adult is needed to support the student, which follows Vygotsky's socio-cultural perspective. When it comes to students’ attitudes towards reading, e-books create positive attitudes towards reading in general, which could be due to their many opportunities for individualization. However, there are big differences between boys and girls in the matter, where boys benefit from using e-books while reading and girls benefit from using traditional books.Syftet med den här litteraturstudien är att undersöka vad tidigare forskning säger om hur elevers läsutveckling påverkas när de läser vanliga böcker eller e-böcker, men även hur deras attityder till läsande påverkas. Jag kommer även i slutet av arbetet använda mig av Henk Linskens (2018) verk Henke och bokstäverna som hoppar för att exemplifiera utifrån mitt perspektiv på det som den funna forskningen påpekar. Resultatet av all den insamlade forskningen tyder på att det inte är några markanta skillnader i fråga om läsutvecklingen hos elever som använder e-böcker eller vanliga böcker. Det verkar vara lite bättre att använda vanliga böcker för att främja läsförståelse, samtidigt som e-böckerna verkar främja elevernas ordkunskaper lite bättre. För att nå ett bra resultat i de båda fallen behövs det en mer kunnig vuxen som stöttar eleven vidare, vilket följer Vygotskijs sociokulturella perspektiv. I fråga om elevernas attityder till läsande skapar e-böcker positiva attityder till läsande över lag, vilket skulle kunna bero på deras många möjligheter för att individualiseras. Dock finns det stora skillnader mellan pojkar och flickor, där pojkar tjänar på att använda e-böcker vid läsning medan flickor tjänar på att använda vanliga böcker.

This thesis investigated a method of barcode reconstruction to address the recovery of a blurred and convoluted one-dimensional barcode. There are a lot of types of barcodes used today, such as Code 39, Code 93, Code 128, etc. Our algorithm applies to the universal barcode, EAN 13. We extend the methodologies proposed by Iwen et al. (2013) in the journal article "A Symbol-Based Algorithm for Decoding barcodes." The algorithm proposed in the paper requires a signal measured by a laser scanner as an input. The observed signal is modeled as a true signal corrupted by a Gaussian convolution, additional noises, and an unknown multiplier. The known barcode dictionaries were incorporated into the forward map between the true barcode and the observed barcode. Unlike the one proposed by Iwen et al., we take dictionaries of different patterns into account, specifically for decoding book barcodes from images which are captured with smartphones. We also presented numerical experiments that examined the performance of the proposed algorithm and illustrated that the unique determination of barcode digits is possible even in the presence of noise.

'Betting by the Book' details the steps taken in, and results obtained from, an examination of the processes followed, especially in Australia, of those persons who bet on thoroughbred horseracing. The work briefly describes the evolution of the practice of this form of gambling and details the extent of the activity in the Australian nation. Note is made of the obvious limited amount of attention previously given to the topic by academia. Using illustrations of the extent of the complexity and resulting uncertainty of outcome in selecting winning horses the study finds that the consequential behaviour of almost all those who bet is the adoption of a co-ordinated process of selection commonly referred to as a system. As hypothesised the study found three major categories,viz., logical, naive and superstitious. Sub-types of the three categories, devised as a part of the study, are listed and defined. Unexpectedly the work brought to attention the finding that most bettors, even those following logical systems, will, at times, adopt superstitious practices. Examples are provided of logical, yet simple, selection systems that could be beneficially adopted by those persons who would otherwise follow naive and superstitious systems of selection. Finally the study notes the considerable opportunities that exist for the education of bettors.Master of Arts (Hons) (Gambling Studies)
