From the middle of the eighteenth century, the use of left-hand pizzicato and harmonics began to become more common in violin playing. Over time, these techniques underwent substantial developments thanks to several different violinists, among others Heinrich Wilhelm Ernst. These developments, however, have not been adequately investigated or documented, and in general, ignorance and misconceptions prevail regarding who contributed what, as well as to the significance of these individual contributions.This thesis attempts to present Ernst's contributions in this area, and also advance that his lack of adequate recognition is unfair. In order to do this, a more complete and chronologically accurate review of the development of left-hand pizzicato and harmonics from the beginning of their development has been drawn up. This has been done through critical reviews and comparisons of different contemporary sources such as musical journals, violin methods and musical scores.The conclusion has been drawn that Ernst contributed to the development of left-hand pizzicato and harmonics to a greater extent than has been adequately recognised. The importance of his role in this development is partially due to the number of his individual contributions, but primarily because he enabled the violin to play the role of several independent instruments played simultaneously in a more advanced fashion, which has arguably changed the outlook of the instrument.

Music PerformanceD.M.A.
The purpose of this monograph is to promote Kazakh violin repertoire by focusing on the influence of Kazakh folklore on the development of violin performance in Kazakhstan in the beginning of the twentieth century. The monograph will include a brief discussion of the history of Kazakhstan, a historical background of folk music and its importance to the development of violin performance in Kazakhstan, a discussion of Kazakh folk strings instruments in relation to violin performance in Kazakhstan, and discussion of selected violin works by Kazakh composers with strong folk influences. A catalogue of violin works of Kazakhstan that use folkloric material will be provided as well. In my study I will rely on available sources, including books, articles, dissertations, reviews, recordings, visual materials and musical scores. I hope my monograph will help to introduce, promote and give a better understanding of Kazakh violin repertoire to English-speaking scholars and musicians.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo investigar aspectos técnicos e interpretativos presentes em excertos orquestrais de violino e estudar o potencial de seu uso como ferramenta para o desenvolvimento do violinista. No primeiro capítulo, discorre-se sobre levantamento de material, em que se buscaram informações acerca de excertos orquestrais de violino, no que concerne tanto a seu uso em processos seletivos como a aspectos técnicos e estilísticos relativos a sua preparação e execução. Encontrou-se, além de material acadêmico usual – como dissertações, teses e artigos – vasta referência em sites, blogs, videoaulas e outros meios, com conteúdo substancial, divulgados na internet. São apresentados também os critérios que orientaram a escolha dos excertos investigados no capítulo seguinte. No segundo capítulo, investigam-se aspectos técnico-interpretativos significativos de cada excerto escolhido, e são feitas sugestões de possíveis abordagens interpretativas desses excertos. Por fim, no terceiro capítulo, procura-se estabelecer paralelo entre aspectos presentes no repertório tradicional do violino e nos excertos orquestrais investigados. A relação encontrada entre o material estudado no capítulo 2 e obras como sonatas e concertos – usualmente estudados por violinistas – é rica e evidencia as possibilidades de exploração dos excertos orquestrais como meio de aprendizagem do instrumento. O presente estudo é voltado para estudantes de violino em nível de graduação e, de modo mais amplo, para violinistas que tenham interesse em se aprofundar no assunto excertos orquestrais, destinando-se, inclusive, a auxiliar instrumentistas na preparação para audições de orquestra.
This work aims to investigate technical and interpretative aspects present in orchestral violin excerpts and to study the potential of its use as a tool for the violinist`s development. In the first chapter, we broached the material survey, in which information was sought about violin orchestral excerpts, with respect both to its use in orchestral auditions as well as in the technical and stylistic aspects regarding their preparation and execution. In addition to usual academic material - such as dissertations, theses and articles - it has been found extensive reference in websites, blogs, video lessons and other means, with substantial content released on the Internet. The paper also presents the criteria that guided the choice of excerpts investigated in the following chapter. In the second chapter technical and interpretative aspects of each significant excerpt chosen are scrutinized and suggestions are made for possible interpretative approaches to these excerpts. Finally, in the third chapter, we try to establish a parallel between aspects present in the traditional violin repertoire and orchestral excerpts investigated. The association between the material studied in Chapter 2 and works such as sonatas and concerts, usually studied by violinists, are rich and it highlights the exploration of possibilities of orchestral excerpts as a mean of learning the instrument. This study is aimed at violin students at the undergraduate level and, more broadly, for violinists who are interested in delving into the subject of orchestral excerpts for violin, including as support for preparation for orchestral auditions.

Thesis (MMus)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis explores the rise and development of electric bowed instrument groups in South Africa. The objective was to provide a history of the development of such groups in South Africa, as well as to compare the methods and musical products of these groups. Another aim was to explore the effects of the groups on the South African music industry and music education. An initial literature research on the history of electric bowed instruments and the phenomenon of classical crossover music as a genre provided the contextual information needed to understand the building blocks of this relatively young compartment of the music industry. Characteristics and marketing strategies of this genre are discussed as well as the impact of aesthetics and gender on classical crossover artists. A set of questionnaires was distributed amongst members of these groups, classical professional musicians in professional South African orchestras, members of electric bowed instrument groups in South Africa, tertiary music students and students at a music school, as well as audience members at an electric bowed instrument group concert. The questionnaires were taken to the Centre for Statistical Consultation at the Stellenbosch University Statistics Department and the processed results were applied to this study. The influence of such groups on South African music education as well as the South African music industry is then examined. The combination of electric bowed instrument and classical crossover music gave birth to the phenomenon of electric bowed instrument groups. In this thesis the “originality” of such artists was evaluated, as a distinct pattern or formula for forming and operating such groups has materialised. The South African electric bowed instrument groups attempt to incorporate a uniquely South African quality into their performances with varying levels of success. Members of such groups, as well as professional classical musicians in the country, believe that the existence and performances of these groups have had an impact on South African music education; however, this theory is proven incorrect in this thesis. Furthermore, it was found that electric bowed instrument groups could have a negative impact on classical music in South Africa, as their marketing directed at the public may unintentionally steer audiences away from classical music performances. The electric bowed instrument groups industry has shown enough growth to prove its sustainability in South Africa as well as internationally. It is a valuable additional occupation for bowed instrument players in South Africa, although it might have a detrimental impact on the South African classical music industry.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie tesis word die ontstaan en ontwikkeling van elektriese strykinstrument groepe in Suid Afrika ondersoek. Die doel van die studie is om ʼn geskiedenis van sulke groepe te lewer, sowel as om die bestuur metodes en musiek van sulke groepe te vergelyk. Verder word die effekte van hierdie groepe in Suid Afrika op musiekopvoeding en die Suid Afrikaanse klassieke musiek bedryf ondersoek. ʼn Literatuur ondersoek van die geskiedenis van elektriese strykinstrumente en die fenomeen van klassieke “crossover” musiek as ʼn genre, het nodige agtergrond informasie ten opsigte van die boublokke van so ʼn relatiewe jong afdeling in die musiekbedryf verskaf. Kenmerke en bemarkingstrategieë van hierdie genre is bespreek, sowel as die klem van estetika en geslag op klassieke “crossover” musikante. ʼn Stel vraelyste is uitgedeel onder professionele klassieke musikante in Suid Afrika, lede van Suid-Afrikaanse elektriese strykinstrument groepe, tersiêre musiekstudente, studente by ʼn musiekskool sowel as ʼn gehoor by ʼn elektriese strykinstrument groep uitvoering. Die vraelyste was geneem na die Sentrum vir Statistieke Konsultasie aan die Universiteit van Stellenbosch, en die verwerkte resultate was toegepas op die studie. Die invloed van hierdie groepe op Suid Afrikaanse musiekopvoeding, sowel as die Suid Afrikaanse musiekbedryf word in hierdie studie bespreek. Die kombinasie van elektriese strykinstrumente en klassieke “crossover” musiek het gelei tot die ontstaan van elektriese strykinstrument groepe. In hierdie tesis word die uniekheid van sulke groepe bevraagteken, oordat ʼn patroon of formule vir die formasie en bestuur van sulke groepe te voorskyn gekom het. Die Suid Afrikaanse elektriese strykinstrument groepe wend ʼn poging aan om ʼn unieke Suid Afrikaanse persona aan hulle optredes te gee, met wisselende vlakke van sukses. Lede van hierdie groepe, sowel as professionele klassieke musikante in Suid Afrika glo dat die bestaan van elektriese strykinstrument groepe en hul uitvoerings ʼn invloed het op die Suid Afrikaanse musiekopvoedkunde. In die studie is hierdie hipotese egter onwaar bevind. Verder, is dit bevind dat elektriese strykinstrument groepe ʼn moontlike negatiewe effek op die Suid Afrikaanse klassieke musiek bedryf kan hê, aangesien hulle bemarking tot die publiek mag onopsetlik gehore weg stuur vanaf klassieke musiek uitvoerings. Die elektriese strykinstrument groep industrie toon genoeg ontwikkeling en groei in Suid Afrika en op internasionale vlak om hul toekoms in die musiekindustrie te bevestig. Sulke groepe is waardevolle addisionele werksgeleenthede vir strykers in Suid Afrika, alhoewel die fenomeen moontlike negatiewe impak op die Suid Afrikaanse klassieke musiekindustrie mag hê.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The viola d’amore is a small bowed instrument that was in use predominantly from the second half of the seventeenth century to the end of the eighteenth. Initially, the name viola d’amore referred to a treble viol strung with wire strings, but it underwent a transformation c.1700 with the addition of sympathetic strings, with the bowed strings changing from wire to gut. The history of the viola d’amore centres on German-speaking regions of Europe, with the cultivation of the sympathetic strings stemming from Austria. While originally reserved for the wealthiest classes, evidence suggests that the viola d’amore became a widely used instrument due to the number of extant instruments in collections today. Due to the viola d’amore existing in two forms, the historical and organological context of the instrument is of paramount importance. Thus, this thesis addresses not only the viola d’amore in both its forms, but also its predecessors, the baryton and the englische violet, charting their development and ultimate influence on the invention of the viola d’amore with sympathetic strings. The suggested line of evolution is supported by measurements and observations of construction of the individual instruments, as well as physical examinations of extant specimens, and is considered in light of relevant iconography, music scores, newspaper advertisements and literary references. The research has led to the redrawing of parameters for each instrument, clearly defining the instruments’ functions and notable attributes. This thesis is the first complete organological study of the viola d’amore and other bowed instruments with additional wire strings. It presents a comprehensive review of the associated literature for each instrument concerned, as well as measurements and organological observations, with particular emphasis on design and construction. Additionally, it also considers the development of wire-strung instruments in England, briefly including: native music wire-drawing; the existence of other instruments with the name ‘d’amore’ and its variations; and lesser considered instruments with sympathetic strings such as the hardanger fiddle and trumpet marine. Finally, the conclusion is drawn that the viola d’amore with sympathetic strings may be considered as the epitome of Baroque instrumental design.

BYU ScholarsArchive, 2013. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/4004.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
A high spatial resolution acoustic directivity acquisition system (ADAS) has been developed to acquire anechoic measurements of the far field radiation of musical instruments that are either remote controlled or played by musicians. Building upon work performed by the BYU Acoustic Research Group in the characterization of loudspeaker directivity, one can rotate a musical instrument with sequential azimuthal angle increments under a fixed semicircular array of microphones while recording repeated notes or sequences of notes. This results in highly detailed and instructive directivity data presented in the form of high-resolution balloon plots. The directivity data and corresponding balloon plots may be shown to vary as functions of time or frequency. This thesis outlines the development of a prototype ADAS and its application to different sources including loudspeakers, a concert grand piano, trombone, flute, and violin. The development of a method of compensating for variations in the played amplitude at subsequent measurement positions using a near-field reference microphone and Frequency Response Functions (FRF) is presented along with the results of its experimental validation. This validation involves a loudspeaker, with known directivity, to simulate a live musician. It radiates both idealized signals and anechoic recordings of musical instruments with random variations in amplitude. The concept of coherence balloon maps and surface averaged coherence are introduced as tools to establish directivity confidence. The method of creating composite directivities for musical instruments is also introduced. A composite directivity comes from combining the directivities of all played partials to approximate what the equivalent directivity from a musical instrument would be if full spectral excitation could be used. The composite directivities are derived from an iterative averaging process that uses coherence as an inclusion criterion. Sample directivity results and discussions of experimental considerations of the piano, trombone, flute, and violin are presented. The research conducted is preliminary and will be further developed by future students to expand and refine the methods presented here.

Evidence that individuals distinguish between moral and conventional rules is reviewed. Moral rules prohibit actions that result in victims (e.g., violence, stealing, etc.). Conventional rules prohibit actions that do not result in victims (e.g., not saying please, dressing in opposite sex clothes). Previous theoretical accounts of the development of the moral/conventional distinction are discussed. These theories are contrasted with an approach that is developed here. It is proposed that there is a mechanism, a Violence Inhibition Mechanism (VIM), that is responsible for the previously observed aversive arousal response to the distress of others. It is proposed that this aversive arousal response is a prerequisite for the development of the moral/ conventional distinction, the moral emotions and the inhibition of violent behaviour. Previous accounts have stressed role taking as a prerequisite for the moral/ conventional distinction. However, this was found not to be the case. Autistics, already known to be lacking a 'Theory of Mind' and therefore unable to role take, were found to make the moral/ conventional distinction. It was hypothesized that Antisocial Personality Disorder (APD) might be a consequence of a lack of VIM; the clinical description of APD stresses their lack of the moral emotions and their inability to inhibit their violent actions. In line with this, APD subjects were not found to make a moral/conventional distinction. Two rival explanations of APD were investigated: that APD is due to an inability to role take and; that APD is due to frontal lobe damage. APD subjects were not found to be impaired in either of these respects in comparison to criminal controls. A final investigation focused on the emotion attributions of APD subjects. It was hypothesized, given the contention that VIM is a prerequisite for the development of the moral emotions, that APD subjects might make anomalous attributions in victim situations though their attributions of other situations should prove normal. This study observed that while the attributions of APD subjects and criminal controls did not differ if the emotions attributed were happiness, sadness or embarrassment there was significant difference in victim situations where APD subjects were less likely to attribute guilt and more likely to attribute indifference than criminal controls. This finding was taken as indirect support of the VIM position. Additional tests, and implications of the VIM model are then discussed.

This research examines the impact of formal and informal labeling on self-reported violent and non-violent delinquency. This longitudinal research design utilizes cohort 15 from the Project on Human Development in Chicago Neighborhoods (PHDCN) at two different points in time. This research not only evaluates the effect of formal labeling (arrest) but also determines the effect of informal labeling (warning and releasing) by police officers. Specifically, the hypotheses assess if labeling affects minority youth differently than white youth. Using nested ordinary least square re and logistic regression models, the results indicate that labeling only operates in simple models containing few variables. The apparent effects of labeling on non-violent delinquency are accounted for in the complete model by previous delinquent behavior, living in a two-parented home, and having a parent with a criminal record. Moreover, the apparent effects of labeling are diminished in the complete model predicting violent delinquency once controlling for the effects of race (Black), gender (male), lower income level, and having a parent with a criminal record.

The result of an artistic partnership between the composer and its dedicatee Yuri Bashmet, Alfred Schnittke’s Viola Concerto is one of the most representative contemporary viola concertos exemplifying the departure from conventional tonality and the development of a compositional language which impacts viola technique. The purpose of this study is to identify the significant role of Schnittke’s Viola Concerto in the development of the twentieth century viola concerto as well as to enable the performer to better execute and interpret the work. The discussion in this document is divided into four main chapters, consisting of an historical overview of the viola concerto before the twentieth century, an overview of Schnittke’s life and concerto composition, an examination of his Viola Concerto in context of previous twentieth century concertos, and a technical analysis of the concerto. The comparison of Schnittke’s Viola Concerto with the “significant three” viola concertos - William Walton’s Viola Concerto, Paul Hindemith’s Der Schwanendreher and Béla Bartók’s Concerto for Viola and Orchestra - focuses on technical demands of the viola and orchestration.

This paper explores the apparent contradiction between Rwanda’s impressive and internationally-recognized development in physical, economic and social conditions largely driven by the Kagame’s administration policies and the pervasive human rights violations also resulting from government policy. The author asks the question whether the nation – two decades removed from the 1994 genocide which resulted in the death of 800,000 people in 100 days – is ready and capable of transitioning to a political system and set of policies that value human rights and economic development equally, and whether that transition would reduce the risk of future unrest and violence.

This study was an investigation of the proportions of male and female adolescents who commit violent crime and also exhibit depression or conduct disorder. The National Comorbidity Survey: Adolescent Supplement (NCS-A) database of 10,148 surveyed male and female adolescents was examined to determine adolescents who reported having been arrested for committing a violent crime or committing a violent crime without being apprehended (the violent crime group) and who had also been diagnosed with depression or conduct disorder according to DSM-IV-TR criteria. Findings showed that 72 (22.9%) of the 314 violent males had been diagnosed with depression and 146 (46.5%) with conduct disorder. Fifty-nine (44.4%) of the 133 violent females had been diagnosed with depression and 61 (45.9%) with conduct disorder. Chi-square tests revealed that the proportion of violent females with depression was significantly larger than the proportion of males (P = 0.001). There was no significant difference between violent males and females in diagnoses of conduct disorder.

Development has suffered a great deal due to the frequent changes that occur in life and these changes inevitably cause conflict. A typical example is the research setting, the Bawku Municipal area in Ghana. This area has suffered severe forms of conflict which in one way or the other have affected the development of the district and the people as a whole. The effect of conflict has not only affected the rural development but also social, human, intellectual, economic and technological developments in general. While the aim of all countries is to develop, some may have reached a stage where they qualify as developed; others are still in the process of reaching their goal; yet others are still struggling to barely survive thus the names ‗developed countries, developing countries and under developed countries‘. Most developing countries are faced with the problem of rural underdevelopment and Ghana is no exception. Most rural areas have been neglected in the development project of the country. Resources are channelled to the urban areas and other places where the government reaps profits; however the Bawku municipal area has not only suffered underdevelopment from government negligence but also from conflict. The district of Bawku has been in tribal war stretching for the past ten years. This has stalled most developmental works from both government and external bodies. The area is one of the poorest places in Ghana; the problem is not only with rural development but social, economic and human development as well.

This study examined youths' (mean age = 16) responses to videotaped scenes depicting various family exchanges as a function of their exposure to family violence during childhood. Children exposed to family violence (n = 92) and a comparison group of children (n = 31) demographically similar to those in the index group described their family backgrounds and domestic violence experiences during interviews in 1990-91, when the children were between the ages of 6 and 12. Approximately eight years later, these participants viewed film clips depicting family members engaged in hostile, prosocial, and neutral exchanges while a computer monitored their skin conductance responses. Youths also provided self-reports of their emotions and arousal after watching these scenes. Analyses of self-reported emotions failed to yield differences based on family violence background. Analyses of skin conductance responses, however, indicated that males and females exposed to family violence during childhood responded to the films in divergent ways, and these responses usually differed from those of youths in the comparison group. Specifically, males from originally violent homes displayed physiological overarousal, whereas females evinced physiological underarousal. These findings provide evidence for the potentially long-term effects of family violence as well as sex differences in responding to family violence. Results are discussed in light of the literature on the sensitization effects of family conflict.

The research from this project has quantified the solar UV environment beneath and surrounding typical local council public shade structures. The effects of changing seasons, atmospheric conditions, structural modifications and surrounding plant life on diffuse UV have been quantified. Strategies to improve current shade structures, so as to significantly reduce the levels of diffuse UV reaching the human body in the shade, have also been developed. For the shade structures used in this research it was found that ultraviolet protection factors ranged from 1.5 to 18.3 for a decreasing solar zenith angle. Correlations have been found relating diffuse erythemal UV to UV in the shade for clear skies and a changing solar zenith angle. The effect of changing atmospheric ozone levels on diffuse erythemal UV levels has been quantified. UV exposures were assessed for a decrease in scattered UV beneath specific shade structures by the use of two types of protection, namely, side-on polycarbonate sheeting and evergreen vegetation. Broadband radiometric and dosimetric measurements conducted in the shade of a scale model shade structure, during summer and winter, showed significant decreases in exposure of up to 65% for summer and 57% for winter when comparing the use and non-use of polycarbonate sheeting. Measurements conducted in the shade of four shade structures, with various amounts of vegetation blocking different sides, showed that adequate amounts and positioning of vegetation decreased the scattered UV in the shade by up to 89% when compared to the shade structure that had no surrounding vegetation. This research shows that major UV reduction could be achieved by the ‘shade creation and design industry’, and that shade guidelines should be updated as soon as possible.

Adverse childhood experiences can lead to a number of harmful outcomes throughout an individual’s life, ranging from medical problems to criminal behavior. These traumatic experiences, comprised of different forms of maltreatment and dysfunctional household environments, can affect the development of a child in a variety of different ways. The multitude of developmental changes can produce compounding harmful effects on the child’s life and lead to acutely maladaptive outcomes. Under the perspective of developmental psychopathology, the ever-changing biological, psychological, and social dynamics of children who experience trauma can contribute to deficiencies in all aspects of their subsequent development. Each of these developmental changes can lead to problem behaviors during adolescence and further progress the youth down a path toward both externalized and internalized violent behavior.
In this study of youth who came in contact with the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, the consequences of childhood trauma in the development of juvenile delinquents are examined. This data allowed for the calculation of each child’s Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) score (Felitti et al., 1998). Using a generalized structural equation model, the effects of ACE scores are estimated on several aspects of each child’s personality development, adolescent problem behaviors, and violent outcomes. Specifically, the model evaluates both the direct and indirect effects of the culmination of adverse childhood experiences on the initiation of externalized violence (serious, violent, chronic delinquency) and internalized violence (suicidal behavior), as mediated through the development of personality characteristics (such as aggression and impulsivity) and adolescent problem behaviors (such as the imitation of deviant peers, school failure and dropout, substance abuse problems, and symptoms of mental illness). This study aims to contribute to the formation of a more complete understanding of the role of childhood trauma in the development of these two types of violent behaviors to improve our assessment and treatment of children who suffer from early-life trauma.

The present review focuses on understanding the explanatory mechanisms behind the use of violence within intimate relationships, highlighting the consequences of adolescents’ exposure to Inter-parental violence and gauging the role of their (adolescents) appraisal and coping strategies. The theories reviewed stress the significant impact of close figures’ behaviors on the developing child and adolescent trough observational and imitational processes, secure and insecure attachment patterns and related internal working models as well as trough building own understanding of the world and human interrelations. The review revealed also that adolescents’ exposure to Inter-parental violence constituted an unequivocal risk factor leading to a range of consequences categorized as internalizing and externalizing problems. It however indicates that the outcome behaviors are not a result of a linear process because there is range of mediating factors that explain the association between adolescents’ exposure to Inter-parental violence and outcome behaviors. Finally, appraisal of Inter-parental violence was identified as a central mechanism that impacts both the magnitude of the consequences of exposure and the adolescents’ conception and execution of coping strategies.

Many children and adolescents in South Africa are being exposed as
witnesses or are direct victims of violence in today's society. The purpose
of this study is to explore what violent exposure adolescents have
experienced and to develop a programme that includes coping skills,
expression of emotion and communication. The research formed part of the
FLAGH study. The research was done in the form of action research where
the adolescents took part in the whole process of developing the programme.
The study was done in four phases. In the first phase a random sample of 36
adolescents from Fikadibeng School in the North West Province were
selected. They completed the Coping Responses Inventory-Youth Form, the
Survey of exposure to community violence, Things I have seen and heard
questionnaire and the Self-expression and control scales. In the second
phase the programme was developed using the results of the pre-testing and a literature study on the effects of the exposure of violence on children.
During the third phase the developed programme was pilot tested on a
randomly selected group of the children and the post-testing took place in
order to evaluate and adjust the programme according to the results found.
Suggestion for the adjustment of the programme was done during the fourth
phase of the study. Adolescents were largely exposed to community
violence. They also displayed tendencies to internalize anger and used
looking for guidance and cognitive avoidance as part of their coping
repertoire. The programme proved to benefit the children in their coping
with violence. It is recommended that for the future, larger groups of
adolescents should be evaluated and programmes should be presented to a
larger community in order to assist adolescent in their use of coping skills.Thesis (M.A. (Clinical Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

High prevalence and the negative legal, health, and psychological consequences of adolescent dating aggression underscore the need to identify risk and protective processes associated with this type of aggression. Studying dating aggression in early adolescence is important, as this is the developmental time frame when most youth are establishing attitudes, beliefs, and norms for dating behaviors. The current study investigated longitudinal associations between perceived parental and peer support for violent and nonviolent responses to conflict and dating aggression perpetration among middle school students. Participants included 1,399 adolescents (52% female) in the sixth (n = 466), seventh (n = 467), and eighth (n = 466) grades. Results showed that peer support for nonviolent responses predicted lower frequencies of subsequent dating aggression among sixth graders, and perceived parental support for nonviolent responses resulted in decreased frequencies of dating aggression in the seventh and eighth grades. Peer support for violent responses predicted increased dating aggression in the seventh grade, and perceived parental support for violent responses led to higher frequencies of dating aggression in the eighth grade. Additionally, dating aggression predicted changes in adolescent perceptions of parental and peer support for violent and nonviolent responses. No sex differences were found in these models. Lastly, moderation analyses identified two significant interactions. These interactions illustrated that different combinations of parental and peer support for violent and nonviolent responses affected dating aggression perpetration, highlighting the importance of examining mixed messages and combinations of messages from parents and peers. Overall, the findings from the current study indicated that adolescent perceptions of parental and peer support for violent and nonviolent responses to conflict are important risk and protective processes, respectively, that are longitudinally associated with dating aggression. These findings can inform dating violence prevention programs, and stress the importance of adolescent, parental, and peer involvement in these programs.

The myth of the “super-predator” offender was adopted by newspaper media in the mid-1990s characterizing “violent”, urban, and minority juvenile offenders. The phrase originated from newspaper headlines of the 1980s and 1990s, but limited research has identified whether this con-struct predated DiIulio and Fox’s crime surge prediction. This study sampled juvenile crime news items from The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles Times and The New York Times (N=2,008) 1985-1995 with defined search criteria of juvenile actors, “violent” juvenile crime, and/or juvenile drug crime. A descriptive analysis of the data determined reporting trends sought for a “period effect” caused by the publicity of the prediction and searched for the pre-existence of “super-predator” construct. Finally, a series χ2 test determined the statistical independence of “super-predator” offender, the victim, and crime characteristics, from variables of news article prominence. This study found support for identifiable trends in juvenile crime reporting, no identifiable “period effect” and mixed, but ultimately null findings, in pre-establishing the super-predator media construct. The χ2 test determined the statistical independence of “super-predator” offender, the victim, and crime characteristics, found some characteristics were statically independent of variables of article prominence, but that these relationships are weak.

This thesis analyses the effects of gender inclusive policies or the lack of such on development at a time of conflict transformation. It has nowadays been established that the presence of women and the existence of gendered policies at a time of peace building are vital for the development of any country or region presently in this situation. Despite this knowledge, inclusion of women and gender has remained scarce and effects of their integration have thus proven difficult to measure. It is the aim of this thesis to support research in this area, by demonstrating the implications of incorporating or failing to implement different types of gender inclusive policies on the example of the actions taken in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The Kurdistan Region is currently in a unique position of its development. After withstanding decades of armed conflict, the region today is greatly autonomous and economically prosperous. For the previous decade it has been the government’s aim to decrease the potential of new conflict, to become internationally competitive and to increase positive development for its people. One of their stated foci was thereby the promotion of gender and women’s inclusion in public policies. By comparing the policies deployed in the Kurdistan Region with experiences and knowledge from around the world, and by using the citizens of the region themselves as validators, this thesis will examine if the existing policies have had the desired effect, and if not, what should be changed. This will be done in the political, economic and social sphere (focusing on education), with the outcome that policies introduced by Kurdistan’s decision makers are partly positive, but lack in consistency, inclusiveness and gender sensitivity. This leads to a loss of human resources for the region, as well as to unequal effects within society, and thus to a lack of sustainable peace.

Efficient and economic treatment of low concentration organic pollutants in water, wastewater or industrial process streams is normally very difficult to achieve. Activated carbon has been widely used for contaminant adsorption, but there are problems associated with its regeneration. In this work, a novel, non-porous, highly-conducting graphite intercalation compounds material (GIC) is used. The use of such an adsorbent can significantly reduce the time required to achieve both equilibrium and electrochemical regeneration. This character allows the design of an innovative treatment process that can adsorb contaminants and electrochemically regenerate itself simultaneously within a single unit. A novel liquid-lift reactor for water treatment by an adsorption and electrochemical regeneration process is developed in this work. Batch experiments are carried out to determine the adsorption kinetics and equilibrium isotherm of adsorption Acid Violet 17 onto the GIC adsorbent. The experimental kinetic data are analyzed using the pseudo-first order, pseudo-second order, intra-particle diffusion and three-stage kinetic models. The linear pseudo-second order model offers the highest r2 correlation coefficient. The experimental isotherm data are analyzed using Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin isotherm models. The non-linear Langmuir model gives the highest r2 correlation coefficient. High regeneration efficiency (more than 90%) over a number of cycles is obtained by passing a charge of 6.4 C g-1 of the GIC adsorbent, at a current density of 5 mA cm-2 using a batch, sequential adsorption (60 min) and electrochemical regeneration (30 min) process. The simultaneous adsorption and regeneration process indicates that 100 % AV 17 can be removed in 60 min (4L of 100 mg L-1 AV 17 solution, 140g of the GIC adsorbent, current density of 5mA cm-2). The flow behaviour in the electrochemical reactor has been studied using a pulse tracer technique. The residence time distribution shows that the flow behaviour in the liquid-spouted reactor can be regarded as a plug flow in series with a continuous stirred tank reactor. For the batch adsorption system, a “parallel adsorption barren well hypothesis” is proposed in this thesis. For the batch simultaneous adsorption and electrochemical regeneration system, a multi-parameter model is proposed in this thesis.

Adolescent offenders commit a significant number of physical and sexual assaults every year. A critical task for researchers and clinicians is to understand the distinct pathways that lead to these serious types of offending. The current study attempts to test the importance of these different pathways by comparing violent, violent sex, non-violent sex, and non-violent offenders based on SAVRY risk items, reoffending, and effects of treatment. A sample of 517 adolescents on probation was assessed for several risk factors (i.e., anger management, ADHD, low empathy/remorse) by probation officers. Recidivism over 12 months was assessed from official records. Results indicated that after controlling for race, groups differed on several risk factors, with significant differences noted between violent and non-violent sex offenders for anger management and attention deficit/hyperactivity problems, as well as violent sex offenders and all other offenders for low empathy/remorse. In comparison to non-violent offenders, violent offenders had more any re-offense and violent re-offense. While risk factors partially predicted the relationship between offender and recidivism, treatment did not moderate this relationship.

The purpose of this study was to determine the extent to which insecure attachment formation and the laissez-faire of authoritarian parenting style predict violent or general delinquent behaviors in preadolescent youths. The present study analyzes archival data from the first wave of a longitudinal study on delinquent behaviors. Two hundred six male and female sixth grade students were surveyed. A correlation design was used to determine predictors of violent and general delinquent behaviors among these preadolescent youths. Regression analysis was used to determine which predictor offered the best explanation of violent and delinquent behavior. It was found that for boys and girls, insecure attachment was indeed significantly correlated with violent and general delinquent behaviors. However, parenting styles was not at all correlated with those behaviors in boys. Conversely, for girls, regression analysis indicated that the Laissez-faire parenting style was a more significant predictor of violent and general delinquent behaviors. These findings are important in that they may be used to help design programs to abate the rising tide of delinquency and violence among preadolescent youths. The results of this study indicate the need for parental involvment in such programs.

The aim of this dissertation is to provide a critical understanding of a Rural Territorial Development (RTD) intervention in a context of conflict dynamics, by looking at the case of the Programme for Development and Peace in Middle Magdalena (PDPMM) - Colombia. To accomplish this task the research process discussed both theoretical and empirical inputs. Firstly, a theoretical framework was developed to understand the dynamics of the development-conflict nexus in rural territories. Secondly, supported by the examination of a case-study, systematic empirical information was collected, incorporating quantitative and qualitative evidence in order to explore the explicit conflict dynamics, namely the practical and theoretical incommensurability between opposite views of rural development taking place in the Middle Magdalena region. Such analysis was further elaborated in three steps: first, the research characterized the main visions of rural development that are being pursued in Middle Magdalena; second, a comparative analysis was carried out in order to identify incommensurabilities and contradictions among those views of development; and third, the study focused on the PDPMM in order to examine how its rural territorial development strategy influences the course of conflict dynamics. On the basis of this methodology, the study shows that rural territorial interventions should focus on building pragmatic articulations among opposite views of development to establish a common development proposal that overcomes conflict and poverty in rural territories.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
North American Speyeria butterflies are a group whose species hypotheses are confounded by shared wing color patterns between sympatric populations of closely related recognized species due to a putatively recent origin in evolutionary time. Previous studies of this group and the closely related Palearctic genus Argynnis , suggest that Speyeria is monophyletic but derived from within Argynnis . Sampling in these studies has either involved few basal Speyeria species, or too few Argynnis species (Simonsen 2006, Simonsen et al. 2006). Thus, no comprehensive phylogenetic analysis exists for all members that answers the question of monophyly of Speyeria , or other subgeneric taxa,and their relationship to Argynnis species. A phylogenetic analysis was completed of all North American Speyeria species and nearly all species within Argynnis , using one mitochondrial (CO1) and four nuclear genes (EF1?, WG, GAPDH, and RPS5). The results indicate that North American Speyeria is a monophyletic group, but that Palearctic Argynnis is paraphyletic. Three major lineages are identified within Argynnis sensu lato : two Palearctic and one containing both Palearctic and Nearctic species. Argynnis species representing the subgenera Argyreus , Argyronome , Childrena , Damora , Pandoriana , and Nephargynnis , belong to a well-supported lineage that split early in the evolution of the group and is comprised of species with long branches. Fabriciana and Mesoacidalia were both recovered as strongly supported lineages, except for A. clara which was recovered as sister to Speyeria . In summary, the phylogenetic analyses suggest the need for reorganization into three genera: Argynnis , Fabriciana , and Speyeria . The results have implications for the conservation of these butterflies across the temperate zone by providing a framework for understanding potential gene flow between sympatric species complexes, proper taxonomic validity, and the natural history of threatened populations of Speyeria and Argynnis butterflies.

This study sought to explore whether PTSD symptoms in detained adolescents were differentially related to high and low patterns of emotional reactivity, as determined based on callous-unemotional (CU) traits and emotion dysregulation. Analyses revealed four distinct groups based on these criteria: a low/no trauma control group with few PTSD symptoms, and three groups whose PTSD symptoms were distinguished by symptoms of emotional numbing. The study sought to determine whether these profiles were related to distinct patterns of aggression and delinquency. Results revealed that the low/no PTSD symptom group exhibited the least aggression and delinquency. Further, results indicated that higher CU traits and violent offending are associated with a combined PTSD symptom profile. Results suggest a relationship between PTSD symptoms, delinquency, aggression, and CU traits. Findings provide support for the existence of a secondary variant of CU youth who are more emotionally dysregulated and prone to both arousal and emotional detachment.

The research described in this doctoral dissertation focuses on three main topics:1) performance optimization of the Viola-Jones Algorithm (VJA) for red-winged blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus) detection, 2) further increasing performance of an already optimized asynchronous Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) unit, and 3) development of a framework to differentiate between lodging and non-lodging areas of a field from visible and multispectral aerial drone images. The first topic explores VJA rotational robustness, since VJA object detection is inherently not invariant to in-plane object rotation. An efficient method to detect rotated blackbirds is developed, which provides a balance between detection accuracy and computational cost. The second topic further optimizes a previously developed high-speed asynchronous 72+32×32 MAC, which was the fastest in the literature, resulting in a speedup of 1.36 while also decreasing area by 8%. The third topic develops a model to distinguish lodging from non-lodging plots, using a Support Vector Machine model trained with color, texture, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and height features. The model prediction accuracy is around 90%, indicating good performance in distinguishing lodging from non-lodging plots.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Despite the criminal nature of intimate partner violence, scholars infrequently apply general theories of crime to understanding its causes (Dixon, Archer, & Graham-Kevan, 2012). Indeed, some scholars reject the notion that the causes of intimate partner violence align with the causes of general crime and violence (Dobash, Dobash, Wilson, & Daly, 1992). A second area of contention is whether male and female violence can be explained within the same theoretical framework (Dutton & Nicholls, 2005). In this thesis I argue that as a type of criminal behaviour, understanding the causes of intimate partner violence from a criminological perspective is a valid and necessary research endeavour. Further, guided by the principles of the theoretical framework of this thesis, I submit that both male and female intimate partner violence can be explained within the same general theory of crime. This thesis applies situational action theory, a general theory of crime that places morality at the centre of its explanatory framework, to the understanding and explanation of intimate partner violence. This thesis concentrates on the roles of personal morality and provocation in intimate partner violence perpetration. Partner conflict is defined as the experience of provocation, while friction sensitivity and low partner cohesion are included as key factors leading to partner conflict. Specifically, this thesis examines whether the strength of personal morality influences whether individuals respond to provocation with violence against a partner. To address the aims of the research, this thesis uses data from the Peterborough Adolescent and Young Adult Development Study, a study designed to test situational action theory. Participants are a representative sample of males and females between 24 and 25 years of age. Path analyses using a multiple-group method revealed that high friction sensitivity and low partner cohesion contributed to increased partner violence perpetration by influencing the level of partner conflict. Morality had a significant moderating effect on the path between partner conflict and partner violence perpetration. Namely, individuals with weak morality, and who frequently engaged in partner conflict, were significantly more likely to perpetrate acts of partner violence than individuals with strong morality who engaged in frequent conflict with a partner. These findings were replicated across males and females. The findings of this research illustrate the importance of morality in the explanation of partner violence, and provide evidence that both male and female partner violence can be explained within the framework of situational action theory.

Abstract: This thesis argues that taking a strategic sustainable development (SSD) approach to conflict resolution in areas of the world in long-term intractable conflict with intermittent violence could support an effective process and lasting outcome. SSD proposes a holistic systems perspective and decision-making framework to address challenges and opportunities at the largest scale, including identifying root causes and drivers of the conflict as well as finding common ground internally and externally. The currently unbalanced dynamics between the two fundaments of sustainability, a robust ecosystem and social fabric, are the basis of deeply unsustainable patterns of behaviour which are often also at the heart of conflicts. Socio-ecological unsustainability can be both a threat, and an opportunity for resolution and social change. The framework offers a proven way of organizing, evaluating and using tools that can aid in dealing with sustainability issues constructively, and evidence is presented to suggest its usage can be extended to conflict issues. This thesis analyzes the links between sustainability, strategic sustainable development and conflict resolution work in the areas of conflict described, and proposes a set of guidelines for approaching conflict resolution with SSD.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis has set out to explore the topical issue of the role and function of violence for a young male. The task has also been to illustrate those factors that have impinged upon this latency boy's emotional development and search for a sense of self in light of early traumatic experiences with a violent father. The thesis discusses in detail, through the analysis of clinical material, the extent to which an aggressive, violent paternal object has been internalised, as well as the external forces that have re-enforced such a personification. The study charts the progress of the therapeutic treatment revealing the gradual development of the child's reflective capacity. This facilitated an exploration and modification of existing states of mind, which were clearly obstacles to his ongoing emotional development. Careful use of transference and counter-transference material within the clinical sessions was the key to this progress and development taking place. Analysis, coding and sampling of the clinical data was undertaken using a grounded theory, qualitative research methodology. Application of grounded theory allowed for the generation of themes which emerged from the clinical data, themes which were then organised and presented using an adaptation of Meltzer's (1976) philosophy around the use of "temperature" and "distance" as a means of regulating emotional undulations in the therapeutic setting. In this way, it is hoped that this thesis will contribute to and extend ideas for those child psychotherapists working with violent or severely deprived children. The impact of the boy's exposure to domestic violence and the complex internal landscape that had arisen as a result of this early traumatic experience, are explored in great detail. Despite emphasis being placed on the boy's search for an alternative father figure through the therapeutic relationship with a male therapist, the ongoing enmeshed relationship with the maternal figure is also explored with reference to the degree to which this served to re-enforce the child's image of himself as a violent male inextricably linked to a violent father. Linking to relevant psychoanalytic literature, one of the tasks of this study has been to highlight the role of the father in early child development, and the complex nature of how parental figures are internalised. The complexity of this process is captured via the research participant's ongoing internal conflict of enacting a violent male figure from his past, while attempting to integrate what was to become an emerging reflective capacity. This investigation highlights the great difficulties involved when working with violent and severely deprived children, but also emphasises what a rich and rewarding experience this can be for both the clinician and the patient. This thesis is therefore aimed at those child psychotherapists engaged in work with such challenging children in the hope that this research will contribute to further thinking about and understanding of the complex processes involved in work in this field. In this vein, Meltzer's (1976) ideas on "temperature and distance" are adapted to incorporate the dimensions of "time" and "space". This is partly as a means of structuring and organising the themes which emerged from the clinical data, but is also a useful aide-memoir tor clinicians to follow in structuring their thinking and practice when working with those children in particular, who present with violent and aggressive behaviours. I believe that fundamentally, the psychoanalytic psychotherapy undertaken with the research participant was very successful in allowing important issues to be addressed and in modifying existing states of mind. It presented him with an alternative experience of a paternal figure, which allowed for some separation from a rather entangled relationship with the maternal figure. At the conclusion of the work, although aggressive and violent impulses were still being externalised, there was substantial evidence of a growing interest in his mind and with it, a capacity for symbolic functioning. The end of our work together, demonstrated this emergent capacity to think about difficult feelings,especially feelings of separation and loss without recourse to mechanisms of avoidance or expulsion.

This thesis examines how drinking behaviours are associated with violent behaviour amongst young people in England and Wales. It is argued that in order to deconstruct the alcohol-violence relationship, it is necessary to critically examine drinking patterns and the development thereof as well as attitudes held towards alcohol consumption. The study comprises secondary statistical analyses of the Home Office’s Offending Crime and Justice Survey, a survey providing data on young people’s drinking and offending behaviour over four successive annual sweeps. Cross-sectional models are used to examine the predictors of violent offending and the role of alcohol consumption. These are subsequently extended into longitudinal models to examine change over time. Collectively, these models provide a detailed exploration of how alcohol consumption influences violent behaviour amongst young people and offer some insights into ways in which alcohol-related violence can be moderated. Whilst, on the whole, individual attitude items did not significantly predict violent behaviour amongst regular drinkers, findings did, however, suggest three distinct classifications based on attitudes held towards drinking: ‘social drinkers’, ‘positively motivated drinkers’ and ‘problem drinkers’, which were significantly associated with age, binge drinking frequency and violent offending. Findings also support existing evidence that the pattern of drinking (rather than the frequency of alcohol consumption) is associated with violent offending and the study identifies a contemporaneous (time-specific) association between levels of binge drinking and assault outcomes. That is, that high frequency binge drinking is a temporally proximal risk factor for the increased propensity of committing assault offences and that occurrences in assault outcomes over time are relatively dependent on levels of drinking over time. In turn, this suggests that the periods in which young people are drinking more, they also offend more. The thesis thus provides evidence that reducing alcohol consumption in late adolescence may, in turn, reduce the prevalence of violent assault offences in and immediately after drinking occasions.

It is important to direct resources to effective evidence- and value-based counter-radicalization strategies, especially within prisons. With the increasing threat ofviolence and terror from various violent extremist groups, such as Daesh, thefocus on prisons should be intensified. While radicalization within prisons was nota significant problem a decade ago, the new recruitment strategies from e.g.Daesh now pose a new challenge for prisons. This thesis identifies contemporaryliterature on radicalization, deradicalization, and violent extremism within aprison context. From this seven recurrent themes were identified: overcrowding,religious chaplains, sectioning, risk assessment, monitoring and supervision,rehabilitation programs and education of staff. This was then used to develop anassessment model, which was based on the Canadian Risk-Need-Responsivitymodel’s three core principles, for evaluating and conducting counterradicalizationstrategies. The assessment model was then used as a framework fora comparative analysis of the Danish and Swedish Prison and Probation Services’counter-radicalization strategies within prisons. The results show that bothcountries adhered to a degree to the assessment model and current literaturewithin the field. The results further reveal that there is a lack of empiricalevidence and data on radicalization and counter-radicalization within prisons, andthat the data available is somewhat outdated.
