Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The bHLH transcription factor Hand1 is essential for placentation and cardiac morphogenesis in the developing embryo. However, how the activity of Hand1 is regulated in either lineage remains largely unknown. Here we demonstrate that Hand1 is anchored in the nucleolus and negatively-regulated by the murine orthologue of the human I-mfa domain-containing protein (HIC). Nucleolar sequestration controls Hand1 activity during the differentiation of rat choriocarcinoma-1 (Rcho-1) trophoblast cells. Hand1 is sequestered in the nucleoli of Rcho-1 stem cells but is released into the nucleoplasm at the onset of their differentiation into trophoblast giant cells. Site-specific phosphorylation of Hand1 was previously shown to modulate the affinity of Hand1 for its nucleoplasm E-factor binding partners. We demonstrate that Hand1 phosphorylation is required for its nucleolar release, as a pre-requisite for dimerisation and biological function. Moreover, the polo-like kinase Plk4 (Sak) is responsible for this phosphorylation event. Plk4 localises to the nucleolus of Rcho-1 stem cells at phase G2 and interacts with Hand1 in vitro and in vivo to promote mitotic cell cycle exit and entry into the endocycle. We also demonstrate that the B568 subunit of the PP2A phosphatase, shown previously to target Hand1 for dephosphorylation, is exported from the nucleus during Rcho-1 differentiation. In this thesis we present findings that describe a novel mode of Hand1 regulation that is a crucial step in trophoblast stem cell differentiation and placentation and support previous studies that implicate the nucleolus as a molecular 'sink'. We suggest that nucleolar sequestration is an important mode of protein regulation and this may impact on a broad range of transcription factors.

Handl encodes a bHLH transcription factor, which is essential for both placentation and cardiac morphogenesis during murine development. Extraembryonic defects in homozygous mutant embryos have precluded detailed analysis of Handl function in the heart. To circumvent the Handl-null early lethality and gain insight into the precise function of Handl during vertebrate heart development the bimodal tetracycline (Tet- Off) system has been employed to generate temporally controlled loss of function and gain of function models for Handl. The Tet-Off system comprises a tet-off transactivator and tet response element (responder) whereby transactivation of the responder and gene of interest can be switched off following addition of doxycycline. The transactivator has been targeted to the endogenous Handl locus {Tet-Off Handl) ensuring it is expressed in a spatial and temporal pattern consistent with the endogenous gene and generated transgenic lines for the responder (Tre2-Handl). Compound heterozygotes in either Handl-null or wild type backgrounds enable us to temporally switch off or over-express Handl respectively. Transactivator and responder constructs for gene targeting and transgenics respectively have been tested extensively in vitro, and sent to a commercial company to generate the mouse strains. Germline transmission was achieved for both Tet-Off-Handl and two transgenic Tre2-Handl strains. The Tre2-Handl responder lines failed to express Handl at a level suitable to rescue the mutant phenotype when crossed with the Tet-Off- Handl driver on a Handl-null background thus preventing further manipulation via dox administration to pregnant mothers to turn off Handl at different embryonic stages. However, a third line suitably expressed Handl under the tet-system and is currently being crossed with the driver for determining rescue as a first step towards validating the loss of function model. The transactivator and responder lines have also been crossed to generate mice that over-express Handl. At E9.5, embryos that over-express Handl have an extended outflow tract, convoluted looping of the linear heart tube and a small, thick-walled ventricle, which lacks a defined lumen. Marker analysis reveals inappropriate cardiomyocyte differentiation and an over-proliferation in the affected areas with a lack of ballooning in the presumptive left ventricle. In vitro differentiation studies have also been performed in ES cell lines that stably and precociously over-express Handl to complement the in vivo model.

This thesis presents the design, modeling, and development of adaptive robot hands that are capable of performing dexterous, in-hand manipulation. The robot hand comprises of anthropomorphic robotic fingers, which employ an adaptive actuation mechanism. The mechanism achieves both flexion/extension and adduction/abduction, on the finger's metacarpophalangeal joint, by using two actuators. Moment arm pulleys are employed to drive the tendon laterally, such that an amplification on the abduction motion occurs, while also maintaining the flexion motion. Particular emphasis has been given to the modeling and the analysis of the actuation mechanism. Also, a model for spatial motion is provided that relates the actuation modes with the finger motion and the tendon force with the finger characteristics. For the hand design, the use of differential mechanisms simplifies the actuation scheme, as we utilize only two actuators for four fingers, achieving affordable dexterity. A design optimization framework assess the results of hand anthropometry studies to derive key parameters for the bio-inspired actuation design.
The model assumptions are evaluated with the finite element method. The proposed finger has been fabricated with the Hybrid Deposition Manufacturing technique and the actuation mechanism's efficiency has been validated with experiments that include the computation of the finger workspace, the assessment of the force exertion capabilities, the demonstration of the feasible motions, and the grasping and manipulation capabilities. Also, the hand design is fabricated with off-the-shelf materials and rapid prototyping techniques while its efficiency has been validated using an extensive set of experimental paradigms that involved the execution of grasping and in-hand manipulation tasks with everyday objects.Master of Science
This thesis presents the design, modeling, and development of adaptive robot hands that are capable of performing selective interdigitation, robust grasping, and dexterous, in-hand manipulation. The robotic fingers employ an adaptive actuation mechanism. The design is minimal and the hand is capable of performing selective interdigitation, robust grasping, and dexterous, in-hand manipulation. Particular emphasis has been given to the modeling and the analysis of the actuation mechanism. For the hand design, the use of differential mechanisms simplifies the actuation scheme, as we utilize only two actuators for four fingers, achieving affordable dexterity. A design optimization framework assess the results of hand anthropometry studies to derive key parameters for the actuation design. The robotic fingers and the anthropomorphic hand were fabricated using off-the-self materials and additive manufacturing techniques. Several experiments were performed to validate the efficacy of the robot hand.

Yates, Juliet Rose. „Hands-on modernism : representations of the hand in Dorothy Richardson's Pilgrimage and modernist literature 1914-1939“. Thesis, Keele University, 2012. http://eprints.keele.ac.uk/1186/.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
The fragmentation endemic to modernism poses the difficult question of how we read the modernist body. In this thesis, I propose a new critical approach in response to this question – theoretical partialism – whereby looking at the particular and reading the representation of the hand as a signifier offers further insight into wider concerns such as, female subjectivity, performativity, sexuality and societal positioning. Because the hand can be both male and female, it allows for an interpretation of the body which does not rely on biological determinism, masculine discourse or essentialist feminism but, instead, provides the site for a new understanding of the body and constructions of gendered identities. Theoretical partialism finds its origins in psychoanalysis, sexology and feminist discourse and suggests that the hand can be used as a starting point for a wider theoretical discussion of totality. The paradox of the hand’s power of unification and differentiation is explored and the fetishistic approach reveals that there is not necessarily one totality but the potential of understanding different interpretations of the total. Therefore, theoretical partialism is used not as a method of regaining conventional ideas of totality but rather as a means for gaining a reconstituted notion of the whole and of selfhood from the fragments of modernity. My thesis develops this approach through readings of six texts: predominantly Dorothy Richardson’s Pilgrimage; Arthur Munby’s material is also investigated in order to establish the hand’s significance in the Victorian imagination; and as a method of illustrating the extent to which the hand features as a signifier in modernism, I explore the fragmented form and gendered identities in James Joyce’s Ulysses, T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, Katherine Mansfield’s “The Little Governess” and Jean Rhys’s Voyage in the Dark.

Fast and reliable communication between human workers and robotic assistants (RAs) is essential for successful collaboration between these agents. This is especially true for typically noisy manufacturing environments that render verbal communication less effective. This thesis investigates the efficacy of nonverbal communication capabilities of robotic manipulators that have poseable, three-fingered end-effectors (hands). This work explores the extent to which different poses of a typical robotic gripper can effectively communicate instructional messages during human-robot collaboration. Within the context of a collaborative car door assembly task, a series of three studies were conducted. Study 1 empirically explored the type of hand configurations that humans use to nonverbally instruct another per- son (N=17). Based on the findings from Study 1, Study 2 examined how well human gestures with frequently used hand configurations were under- stood by recipients of the message (N=140). Finally, Study 3 implemented the most human-recognized human hand configurations on a 7-degree-of- freedom (DOF) robotic manipulator to investigate the efficacy of having human-inspired hand poses on a robotic hand compared to an unposed hand (N=100).
Contributions of this work include the presentation of a set of hand configurations humans commonly use to instruct another person in a collaborative assembly scenario, as well as Recognition Rate and Recognition Confidence measures for the gestures that humans and robots expressed using different hand configurations. These experimental results indicate that most gestures are better recognized with a higher level of confidence when displayed with a posed robot hand. Guidelines and principles are provided based on these results for the mechanical design of robotic hands.Applied Science, Faculty of

The field of virtual reality (VR) is getting increasing attention from the scientific community and it is being portrayed by advertisements as the user interface (UI) of the future. This is a fair statement since the prior uses of VR that used to exist only in fiction movies and books are now widely available in many forms and settings to the public. One of the most interesting outcomes from this technological evolution is that now VR can be experienced through the use of a mobile phone and the addition of some inexpensive means typically in a form of a headset. The combination of the phone’s screen as attached to the headset creates a form of Head Mounted Display (HMD) which can be utilized in order for the user to be immersed within a virtual environment (VE). The argument here is that even if the means to get access to VR are cheap, this should not be the case with the experience as well. On the contrary, the low entry requirements in combination with a high quality experience are the basis for the medium's success and further adoption by the users. More specifically, the capability of utilizing a three dimensional space (3D) should not limit the medium’s use on just that but instead, this space should be used in order to offer immersive environments which make the user feel as if he is there. There are many factors that contribute to that result and significant progress has been made to some such as the quality of screen or other hardware parts that allow the user get immersed into the virtual scenery, however, little progress has been made towards the conceptual means that allow the user of better experiencing this VE. Most of the VR applications so far are specifically designed for a single user session. This creates an isolation of the user from any other type of communities which further increases the stigma of VR being a solitary experience. Another issue is the interaction method that is available to users in order to interact with the VE. The use of buttons in most of the available headsets is a counter intuitive method for a person to interact with an environment that wants to be called real. The technological advancements in the field of image processing have resulted in many new methods of interaction and multimodal manipulation within VE and it would be worthy of exploring their effects on the user experience (UX) when used as an interaction method. For these reasons, this thesis used the case of VR games as a setting to study how UX can be enhanced from its current state by introducing a bare hand gesture interaction method and expanding the VR setting in order to host two users in shared VE. Two individual studies were conducted where user feedback was collected in order to describe the effects of this approach in both a qualitative and quantitative manner. As results indicate, by utilizing gesture analysis on a headset equipped with a smartphone, it is possible to offer a natural and engaging solution for VR interaction capable of rich UXs while maintaining a low entry level for the end users. Finally, the addition of another player significantly affected the experience by influencing the emotional state of the participants in the game and further enforcing their feeling of presence within the VE.

Human hand transplantation became a medical reality at the turn of the 2 1st century. Often hailed by media and the general public as miraculous, these life-changing surgeries are also highly controversial. Many doctors, ethicists, and medical professionals feel the benefits of having a hand transplant do not outweigh the risks of the immunosuppressive drugs required to keep the complex foreign tissues alive on the bodies of chronically disabled yet otherwise healthy people. Patients' reactions to having the operation, to the drugs, to the physical therapy, and to the psychological consequences of wearing the hand of a dead person range from grateful acceptance to disgust and requested reamputation. This thesis explores the struggles and triumphs of human hand transplants through the stories of several patients and doctors. The rise of hand transplantation as a field, including the ongoing controversy surrounding the first successful human hand transplant, is also related as insight into how doctors and patients in innovative medicine make decisions, and where hand transplantation stands as a technology to benefit both medicine and scientific research.

The need for home health care is a growing need in the United States due to the shift of the “baby-boomers” into the post retirement years. However, there is a growing niche market within this aging population: the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered (LGBT) elders who have lived their adult lives “out of the closet” and who are facing difficulty receiving care which is compassionate and culturally sensitive at the same time. The mission of Hand-In-Hand Home Health Care is to provide exceptional home health care with a team of professionals that provide patient-centered care which is culturally sensitive and compassionate, achieved with employee training developed by SAGE (Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders). Hand-In-Hand Home Health Care will achieve economic viability within the first year through optimal cash flow management with Axxess client software and the initial capital assistance with a 7a Small Business Loan.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka och få kunskap om elevers upplevelse av sin situation på en skola som bedriver ART- programmet och arbetar för integrering av ART i övrig undervisning och verksamhet.(ART - Aggression Replacement Training) Vi har även forskat i hur lärarna på den specifika skolan upplever situationen för eleverna i såväl skolgång som socialt samt hur lärarna arbetar med ART. Vi har använt oss av en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod där intervjuer med sammanlagt sju informanter ligger som grund för vårt forskningsresultat. Till vår kvalitativa undersökning kopplar vi bland annat teorin om fenomenologi, vilken utgår från en strävan att åsidosätta vår tidigare empiri och genom det få möjlighet att gripa tag i den subjektiva erfarenheten hos informanten. Vi vill också lyfta fram begreppet kontextualism, det vill säga att vi har en vilja att undersöka individer i det sammanhang de befinner sig i. Resultatet av intervjuerna med informanterna visar att lärarna anser att de ser en stor förändring hos elever som placeras på den specifika skola vi undersökt samt vilka genomgått eller genomgår ART: s program. De menar att efter genomgånget program visar eleverna prov på mognad och utveckling vilket resulterar i en positiv förändring i både skolarbetet samt i den sociala situationen. De ser en fördel med att ha ART integrerad i övrig verksamhet förutom de lektioner som är avsedda för programmet. Eleverna upplevde även de en förändring i sin livssituation sedan de börjat på den specifika skolan och deltagit i ART-programmet. De ansåg att ART hjälpt dem att hantera sin aggressivitet och givit dem verktyg för att kunna handla annorlunda. De uttryckte att det som skiljde deras förra skola från den nya är att de på den nya skolan får det stöd de behöver, till exempel genom ART:s metoder och strategier, samt att det finns fler pedagoger per elev och att klasserna är mindre. Följden av detta är att eleverna upplevde att deras koncentration ökade vilket resulterat i att skolgången blivit förbättrad. Slutsatsen av undersökningen är att ART integrerat i en skolverksamhet kan stödja aggressiva elever i att bryta sitt beteende. Vidare är slutsatsen att lärare och elever som ingår i en verksamhet med ART integrerad upplever skolsituationen som mer hållbar och positivt utvecklande än då eleverna ingick i en skolverksamhet utan ART eller där ART inte var integrerad i övrig verksamhet och i bemötande av eleverna.

Technische und naturwissenschaftliche Studiengänge an Hochschulen - die sogenannten MINT-Fächer - bieten Absolventen und Absolventinnen gute Chancen für eine erfolgreiche Berufslaufbahn. In diesen anspruchsvollen Studiengängen einen Abschluss zu erhalten, ist jedoch nicht leicht: Vor Vor- und Zwischenprüfungen fallen oft mehr als 50 Prozent der Studienanfänger/-innen endgültig durch. Ziel der Hochschulen muss es daher sein, die Anzahl der Studienabbrecher/-innen zu reduzieren. Zwei mögliche Zielrichtungen für Maßnahmen sind somit die Motivation der Studierenden und die Vermittlung von Arbeits- und Lerntechniken.

Hands convey important social information, such as an individual’s emotions, goals, and desires, are used to direct attention through pointing, and are a major organ for haptic perception. However, very little is known about infants’ representation of human hands. In Experiment 1, infants tested in a familiarization/novelty preference task discriminated between images of intact hands and images that contained first-order structure distortions (i.e., with locations of fingers altered to result in an unnatural configuration). In Experiment 2, infants tested in a spontaneous preference task exhibited a preference for scrambled hand images over intact images, indicating that 3.5-month-olds have gained sufficient sensitivity to the configural properties of hands to discriminate between intact versus scrambled images without any training in the laboratory. In both procedures, infants’ performance was disrupted by the inversion of images, suggesting that infants’ performance in upright conditions was not based on low-level features. These results indicate that sensitivity to the structure of hands develops early in life. This may lay the foundation for the development of the functional use of hand information for social communication.

Vi har i denna uppsats diskuterat och belyst hur den optimala vägledningen skulle kunna se ut. Anledningen till detta är att vi planerar att starta ett eget företag inom vägledning och vi har genom detta examensarbete lagt grunden till en affärsidé kring hur vårt företag i framtiden kan arbeta med studie- och yrkesvägledning. Detta har vi gjort genom intervjuer med studie- och yrkesvägledare på Infoteket och Malmö högskola samt intervjuer med sökande som varit och besökt dessa verksamheter. Vi har kommit fram till att varken Malmö högskola eller Infoteket bedriver det som vi efter denna uppsats anser vara den optimala vägledningen. Verksamheterna har inte någon möjlighet att individanpassa vägledningen på ett sådant sätt att vi kallar det optimalt, de väljer ibland att inte klargöra ramar och samtalsinnehåll för de sökande dessutom känner de sökande ibland att de inte satt igång någon process överhuvudtaget när de gått därifrån. Utifrån detta arbete har vi insett att det krävs en hel del för att kunna erbjuda den optimala vägledningen. Det allra viktigaste, och kanske svåraste, som vi kommit fram till är att vägledningen alltid måste individanpassas. Det som är optimal vägledning för en sökande är inte den optimala för en annan. För att kunna individanpassa samtalen har vi kommit fram till att det krävs flexibilitet, resurser m.m. Detta för att kunna skapa ett forum där det finns möjlighet att anpassa miljön, samtalsklimatet och vägledningsprocessen till varje individ. Vi vill dock tillägga att det viktigaste av allt är att den optimala vägledningen ska utgå ifrån att den sökande känner sig nöjd och fått den hjälp som han eller hon var ute efter.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur klädesaffärer kan skapa en mer positiv syn på second hand kläder bland konsumenter. Undersökningen utfördes genom att använda Tricomponent Attitude modellen och erkända strategier för attitydförändring. Tricomponent Attitude modellen utgörs av den kognitiva, affektiva samt konativa delen medan attitydstrategierna utgörs av tillvägagångssätt för att förändra attityden. En kvantitativ enkätundersökning utfördes och sändes ut till respondenterna med hjälp utav sociala nätverk och forum. Totalt samlades 343 svar in. Det visade sig att konsumentens inställning till second hand kläder mestadels utgjordes av den kognitiva delen av Tricomponent Attitude modellen, men att det samtidigt existerade ett klart samspel mellan modellens tre delar. Dock fick alla strategier till attitydförändring svaga resultat och skulle på så vis inte påverka konsumenterna att köpa mer second hand kläder. Den huvudsakliga upptäckten var att klädesaffärerna inte har en tillräckligt stark position för att påverka konsumenternas inställning till second hand kläder men att konsumentens positiva uppfattning om second hand kläder visar att förutsättningarna för en ökad konsumtion finns.

Le travail présenté s'intéresse à la problématique générale de la mise en oeuvre de mains robotiques à haut niveau de dextérité. Dans ce contexte, nous nous intéressons à la synthèse de prise d'objets en prenant en compte les contraintes propres à la tâche de manipulation visée. La manière dont l'objet est saisi a une importance capitale sur le bon déroulement d'une tâche.Le développement d'algorithmes capables de générer automatiquement des prises optimales implique avant tout la nécessité de définir la notion de prise optimale au regard de la tâche cible. Pour répondre à ce problème, la communauté scientifique propose dans la littérature de nombreux critères de qualité et continue à en développer de nouveaux. Dans cette thèse, nous présentons une extension des travaux proposés avec une étude approfondie de ces critères dans le cadre de la manipulation dextre. Ces critères sont évalués avec une main robotique entièrement actionnée à quatre doigts et seize articulations.Nous quantifions l'efficacité de ces critères dans le cadre de la réalisation de tâches de manipulation fine avec trois types d'objets spécifiques. Deux groupes de critères sont étudiés : d'une part des critères s'appuyant uniquement sur la position des points de contact, et, d'autre part, des critères prenant en compte la cinématique du préhenseur. Cette étude nous a permis de sélectionner un ensemble de critères pertinents pour résoudre le problème de synthèse de prise que nous avons mis en oeuvre dans un processus basé sur une approche évolutionnaire. Cette approche a été validée dans l'environnement de simulation OpenRAVE, puis expérimentalement avec la nouvelle main RoBioSSThe work presented in this thesis concerns object grasping with dexterous robotic hands. In this work, we are going to focus on the grasp synthesis problem by taking into account the in-hand manipulation task. The initial grasp has a capital role for the successful completion of a given task.In order to develop algorithms which are able to generate automatically correct grasps for a manipulation task, we need to define suitable grasp quality metrics to assess the validity of a grasp. Throughout the years, a large variety of quality measures have been proposed in the literature and researchers keep on developing new ones. However those quality measures are generally developed for simple grippers and for grasping tasks. In this thesis, we will extend the study of selected interesting grasp quality measures for in-hand manipulation tasks. These quality measures will be evaluated on a four finger robotic hand with sixteen fully actuated degrees of freedom.We will assess the chosen quality measures for in-hand manipulation tasks with three different carefully selected type of objects. The quality metrics are classified in two groups, first one focuses exclusively on the location of contact points and the second one considers the kinematics of the robotic hand. The review of these quality measures led us to select the ones meaningful for solving the grasp synthesis problem for in-hand manipulation. The grasping pipeline implemented to generate the correct grasps is based on an evolutionary approach using a mix of the selected quality measures. The proposed approach was tested in the OpenRAVE robotic simulator and also validated experimentally with the new RoBioSS hand

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka hinder som fanns att få till stånd jämlika möten över- och underklassen under det sena 1800-talet i Stockholm. Ett ytterligare syfte är att granska hur den borgerliga kvinnan respektive arbetarkvinnan konstruerades av sig själv och av varandra. Materialet som granskas är anteckningar från Samkväm för kvinnor ur olika yrkesgrupper och protokoll från Stockholms Allmänna Kvinnoklubb.Metoden som används är hermeneutisk och teorierna som används är den där Simone de Beauvoir beskriver hur den andra konstrueras, samt Karin Johannissons slutsatser om hur arbetarkvinnan närmast ansågs som en annan ras under det sena 1800-talet.Undersökningen visar att det fanns en uppriktig vilja bland de borgerliga kvinnorna att mötas på jämlika villkor. Men de ekonomiska skillnaderna skapade hinder för det, liksom tidens föreställningar om arbeterskan.Hur den borgerliga kvinnan konstrueras av arbeterskorna framträder inte tillräckligt tydligt för att kunna dra några generella slutsatser av, medan hon av ”de sina” betraktas som det självklara subjektet. Arbetarkvinnan ser sig som ett subjekt i Kvinnoklubben, medan hon ser sig som ett objekt i den omgivande världen. För de borgerliga kvinnorna blir hon det objekt genom vilket de själva konstruerar sig som subjektet.

Vi har valt att undersöka second handklädesmarknaden. På senare tid har intresset för andra handskläder ökat markant. Det finns två huvudsakliga aktörer på marknaden. De består av biståndsorganisationer som syftar till välgörande ändamål, samt de second handbutiker som har som mål att bevara gamla moden. I och med en ökad efterfrågan har marknaden utvecklats rejält. Från att ha burit en stämpel av fattigdom och skam har second handklädesmarknaden blivit ett mer naturligt val för många individer. Kundgruppen har utökats till att inte enbart inbegripa fattiga människor, utan även människor med intresse för mode. Denna kraftiga tillväxt har resulterat i en prisökning, varför vår undersökningsfråga ska besvara varför priset på second handkläder har ökat. Som syfte ämnade vi att först och främst ge en beskrivande bild av priset second handklädesmarknaden i förhållande till nyproduktionsmarknaden. Detta gjordes genom en kvantitativ studie, i form av en prisjämförelse. För att ge en mer förklarande bild till varför det ser ut som det gör genomfördes en intervju, som kvalitativ undersökning. För att finna svar på vår fråga har vi tagit hjälp av teorier om köpbeteende och priskänslighet. I analysen kopplade vi sedan samman dessa teorier med resultat från empirin.

Following the violent crackdown on students demonstrating in Tiananmen Square in
June 1989, tens of thousands of sympathetic ethnic Chinese and nationals of the
People’s Republic of China (PRC) from across the globe (hereafter described as the
Overseas Chinese or OC1) unified in protest against the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP). While some were too afraid to speak out, others were much more critical and
antagonistic by calling for democratic reform on the mainland.2 Fearing an escalation
of anti-CCP sentiment amongst a diaspora crucial to its national interests, Beijing
promptly intensified qiaowu gongzuo (hereafter described as qiaowu or OC work) to
deal with the precarious situation. It employed a foreign legion of diplomats, attaches
from various government ministries and specialist qiaowu cadres to aggressively
manage and control strategic OC communities under a comprehensive set of
influential tools and persuasive techniques.3 Over the next two decades, the CCP
continually developed and improved qiaowu to the extent that it had become more
successful with these methods in the current period than any other era – particularly
so with new migrants and PRC students. Such prowess became apparent in 2008,
when large numbers of the OC again took to the streets in heated protest. This time
their response was not in defiance of the regime, but in strong support of China and its
leaders.
How has qiaowu been able to influence and manage the OC in this way? Why have
qiaowu efforts worked with such success? Why has the CPP become so confident in
advancing OC work since the crisis of 1989? This thesis explains the nature and
development of qiaowu, details its specific work methods, and analyzes the platforms
employed to advance relations with the OC diaspora. By assessing a wide range of
Chinese language references, primary source policy documents and internal
memoranda, this thesis argues that over decades of counter-efforts from rival political
factions, gradual cultural assimilation, changes in OC demographics, technology and
the international geo-political climate, qiaowu has served as an accomplished and
necessary component of the CCP’s modernized propaganda and thought work system
for influencing, managing and unifying a heterogeneous population of OC for
Beijing’s national interests.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
Hand motion analysis methods have been providing researchers with motion
investigation initiatives, revealing motion features and mechanisms in both
healthy subjects and patients suffering from hand dysfunctions. Technical
advancements have led to the maturation of motion capturing methods such as
goniometric gloves. In this project, the CyberGlove as a manufactured product
was chosen as a potential tool for the development of a hand function assessment
system that would ultimately distinguish between healthy subjects and patients
suffering from hand dysfunctions.
In this study, the evaluation of the CyberGlove as a feasible clinical tool and its
technical adaptations were done in parallel. The sensor output characteristics were
investigated using X-ray photography as a spatial golden standard and the sensors
were shown to exhibit linear qualities with optimal nonlinearities at 0.6%. The
measurement sensitivity and accuracy by the CyberGlove was improved by
establishing a calibration protocol suiting the sensor characteristics. Through a
calibration protocol using calibration tools made by thermoplastics, the angular
measurement error was found to decrease from 7.2% to 1.2%.
The technical development of the software part of the project involved the
inclusion of data preprocessing, display and analysis modules. To investigate the
motion exhibited by healthy subjects, 32 healthy subjects were recruited and they
were asked to complete a series of motion according to a designed motion
protocol involving a static trial, a timed-grip trial and a rapid-grip trial. Motion
features were extracted from recorded motion data by identification and
quantification of temporal or spatial characteristics in motion such as joint
sequence of events, angular kinematics, finger tip path features and phase diagram
features. Some features were evaluated by pattern correlation analysis by linear
regression, and healthy subjects all shared similar patterns resulting in high levels
of regression coefficients R2 and low levels of slope deviations m.
The establishment of motion features along with a prototype motion measurement
system allows the continuous development on the CyberGlove as a hand function
assessment tool when supported by later clinical adaptations or studies.published_or_final_version

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAnnotation:
This thesis presents a series of experimental investigations into left and right hand performance in right-handed participants. The experiments were designed to identify differences in movement kinematics when task characteristics varied in aiming and prehension movements, particularly along dimensions that were thought to differ between the hemispheres. The first part of the thesis reviews the existing literature on the relevant topics of motor control. There is extensive evidence to argue for distinct but complementary contributions from each hemisphere in the control of movements, with the emphasis on the left hemisphere, which plays a significant role in the organization of movements on both sides of the body. There is also support for the claim that the right hemisphere has a specialised role in visually-guided movements when visuo-spatial processing is involved in the form of localizing target positions. Furthermore, performance differences are investigated with respect to hemisphere. The second part of the dissertation presents a series of investigations of neurologically intact participants. In Experiment 1 and 2, 22 participants were required to make pointing movements with the index finger across the hemisphere in visual and non-visual conditions. The main finding of this study was ipsilateral movement advantages for both hands. Contrary to previous claims, these ipsilateral advantages, even when no vision was available, were the consequences of biomechanical factors rather than within-hemispheric processing. A right hand advantage was found for movement duration. In Experiment 3, 22 participants were required to point to suddenly-appearing targets aligned along the horizontal midline. The focus of this study was on right hemisphere participation in a pointing task in which the visuo-spatial demands were manipulated in the form of target location uncertainty. Contrary to previous claims, no evidence was found for the attenuation of right hand performance or even the facilitation of left hand performance. The dominant hand was noticeably more accurate and took less time decelerating. Main findings of this study were ipsilateral movement advantages for both hands. In Experiment 4, 20 participants were required to grasp and pick up target blocks of differing length and width to examine whether increased precision would exacerbate a previously reported hand difference on a grip aperture timing measure. The left hand reached maximum grip aperture earlier than the right hand but, contrary to expectations, this hand difference was not influenced by the manipulation of precision demands. Hemispatial effects were found for transport and grip related dependent measures. In the final Experiment 5, the area of hand performance differences was explored while both hands were grasping targets simultaneously by requiring 14 participants to grasp and pick up objects of the same or different lengths. The manipulation of hemispace resulted in a common movement duration of the limbs. An overall larger grip aperture was found for the left hand but was not affected by the task requirement of the right hand such that grip apertures of the hands were independently scaled.
