The goal of the project is to design a non-sectarian meditation center in the dense urban area of New York City. The design challenge is to draw inspiration from an interpretation of ancient philosophies of meditation, without simply importing cultural relics from places in which those philosophies have flourished in the past. More difficult was the decision to apply meditation philosophy not just to the design, but to the process of designing. The functional purpose of the building is somewhat flexible. People who practice meditation mayor may not be involved with an organized religion. The current "Dharma scene" in America is extremely diverse. The purpose of the Center is to facilitate the exploration of the mind and reality that goes on in meditation. It might serve as a meeting place for various groups, and also as a center for the study and debate. Practitioners of different schools might meet to compare notes, or to attend conferences such as the Mind Science seminars held on a semi-annual basis by the Dalai Lama and researchers in the cognitive sciences.

The purpose of this empirical phenomenological study was to explore the phenomenon of generational communications between Baby Boomers and Millennials in the New York City workplace and to understand their lived experiences of how they communicate and use technology in their job. The conceptual framework consisted of two theories: Cameron & Quinn's competing values framework and Prensky's digital natives/digital immigrants. A total of 21 New York City workers (10 Baby Boomers and 11 Millennials) from various agencies participated in semi structured interviews and answered the DISC Classic Profile, an instrument that showed their communication styles. The data were analyzed using the Stevick-Colazzi method and Dedoose data analysis procedure to find groups of meaning and themes. Research found benefits and challenges of technology that impacted communications; how organizational culture impacted technology use and communications; fears about using and learning technology; differences in relationships affecting Baby Boomers and Millennials; and differences in communication styles affecting management and subordinates. Recommendations for future research include conducting a similar qualitative study on Generation X and a quantitative study on Baby Boomers and Millennials. The findings of this study will contribute to positive social change through the implementation of reverse mentoring, knowledge management and transfer, succession planning, and human resource management.

The purpose of this thesis is to explore the role and influence imagination plays on a building for the arts. The American Film Institute is considered to be a building for the production and study as well as the presentation of film. Because imagination is the most important tool the film maker possesses and is that which the general audience becomes a part of, this thesis strives to produce a building which enhances this tool. Steel and glass have been chosen as two of the three primary materials in the film institute for their reflective properties as well as their specific properties to distort reflections. Concrete was chosen as the third primary material not only for its compressive strength, but for its many possible finishes and its compatibility (being non-reflective) with the other two primary materials. The institute will be created in such a way that even in their permanence they will provide for a changing space which will make for a re-occurring newness each time it is visited, thus sparking the imagination. To the user of the institute, the space will each time be new. It takes on this characteristic as its users encounter their own reflection as well as the reflections - sometimes distorted - of others. This is enhanced as movement occurs not always in a straight line nor only at one level. Shade and shadow from stationary light, as further enhance the imagination. “The spatial area, whatever it may be—room, stage, garden, street—is the screen; the moving objects and people are the picture-in-solution reconstituted as a transient entity in time and space.”³

Annotation:

This ethnographic dissertation project is an applied philosophical project that takes an ontological and critical phenomenological approach to the enactment of carceral bodies. This dissertation set out to answer two central questions. First, how do jail intake processes enact carceral bodies (analog and digital) and what are the ontological implications? Second, how are jail intake processes reflective of the values and logics of a carceral society? The process of answering these questions offers an early attempt at empirical abolitionist science and technology studies research as it offers an intervention in the essentializing biomedical and criminological understandings of "the criminal." This is achieved by tracing the enactment pf carceral bodies across the domains of datafication, space, and time. First, with the advent of digital technologies, the science and technology of criminality continues to be informed by the desire to use metrics to identify and define criminal man. Like their precursors, however; when taken together these quantified characteristics contribute to the production of a body predisposed not to crime but to incarceration. This predisposition arises out of datafication and algorithmic characterization. The data comprising the raw material of this assignation pulls together the digitization of one's race, ethnicity, school (reflective of the school-to-prison-pipeline), address, sex, socio-economic status, disability status, mental health status, etc. Carceral algorithms, and the structures they arise out of, inform one's incarcerability. The carceral body of data and its risks are multiple and are represented in a number of ways, just as it is experienced variously. There are infinite permutations of the intake process across which categories come to stand in for human suffering, for risk, for job performance, etc. The data generated and its infrastructures are reflective of the broader political and socioeconomic context. The role of data collection, management, and analysis surrounding the intake process makes visible the politics and stakes of the carceral bodies enacted. The two primary epistemologies and attendant professions brought to bear upon the carceral body are medicine and criminology. These epistemologies rely upon quantification, categorization, and calculations of risk to generate data from which carceral knowledge is made (and in turn makes). This project characterizes the data infrastructures of the jails as socio-technical objects, practices, and architectures that are multiple and complex. It is through this lens that managerialism, algorithms, and knowledge production are characterized. Together, these facets provide insight into the making of carceral bodies of data and the logics and mechanisms of the carceral-data-industrial-complex. Second, this project addresses the spatialities that carceral bodies are generative of and situated in. The spaces of intake are suffused with values, politics, and epistemologies that play out in a number of ways. In order draw out these facets, the ontological approach was integrated with carceral geography. This approach elevates micro-scales of space and time, placing the personal and particular beside within the broader social and political contexts. This shift in scale has important implications for the study of correctional facilities as it is from this scale that the complexities, relationalities, materialities, contradictions, and multiplicities are visible. This approach relates to Foucault's carceral archipelago, which conveys the complexities of carceral spaces, surveillances, and their leakiness. Carceral geography's reading of Foucault requires an engagement across carceral societies that incorporates the body as a prime site from which to understand complex dynamics of control. Carceral geography offers a helpful approach drawing out spatialities enacted through performances and experiences, making concertina wire fences permeable and ever-mutable. The carceral body carries carceral spaces within it and beyond it that arise out of epistemes, policies, and practices that are mutually reinforcing and enmeshed. These embodied spaces include emotions and mental self-scapes alongside digitally recorded diagnoses and correctional designations. When considering how security infrastructures permeate society, well beyond correctional facility gates, this has important implications for this carceral society. The buildings and physical spaces of incarceration are read as reflective of the values and logics of the state, this brings into view the extra-penological function of incarceration, in which specific populations are disproportionately removed and disciplined/ punished by the state even before they are determined to be guilty or not guilty by a court. This hyper-incarceration of certain populations underlines the spatial logics of carceral networks that reflect the machinations of a neoliberal state that disappears those who have been Othered via carceral networks. This takes on even more problematic hues when considering the torturous conditions unsuitable for any creature, including humans. Third, despite Western constructs of linear or absolute time, the study of the carceral temporal body demonstrates the relativities, multiplicities, and disjunctures that challenge the notion of a universal clock. This dissertation tells of carceral bodies made into and across multiple time points. Bodies become metaphoric timeclocks through managerial oversight processes in which they are assigned varying times across different electronic record systems, with these different from their time of arrest and remand. In this space, the temporal jurisdictions diverge, giving rise to frictions and conflict. Further, these assigned temporalities differ greatly from the ways time is experienced across embodied states (e.g. experiencing acute withdrawal symptoms). The theoretical frameworks employed to understand carceral time are designed to address how carceral bodies come to be anticipated. In part, this is enacted through professional and bureaucratic routines that are often protracted and repetitive. These routines give rise to waiting and urgency. This empirical engagement with carceral temporalities draws out epistemic and experiential forces. Ultimately, this dissertation suggests that drawing out the ontological multiplicities of mass incarceration can countermand its fixities and generate abolitionist epistemologies. Abolition has generative potentials that coalesce with science and technology studies' investment in the otherwise. Over time carceral abolition has come to refer to a wide range of social movements, theoretical frameworks, and activism. The various approaches to abolition share a sense of urgency and resistance to gradual or eventual change, as this has historically led to the perpetuation and maintenance of racialized criminal justice systems and mass incarceration. Carceral epistemologies (e.g. penology, criminology, biomedicine, public health) are steeped in racisms and classisms, which inform broader imaginaries of crime and criminality. As political discourse has been reduced to simplistic chants and pithy soundbites, the aim of this dissertation has been to "complicate the discourse" surrounding the carceral-industrial-complex and the carceral body in particular. Understanding the carceral body through its ontological multiplicities serves as the grounds from which resistances to the status quo can be formulated. This is vitally important in light of the diffuse assemblages detailed in this project and the pervasiveness of carceral logics. In sum, this dissertation has demonstrated that carceral bodies are made and not born. It points to the difficult work still needed and the utility of ethnography in eliciting the multiplicities of practices and materialities in carceral settings. The abolitionist dreams arising from this project demand the embrace of ontological multiplicities as new logics and imaginaries unweave the criminal justice system. While it does not fall within the purview of this project to delineate a specific set of directives, it does suggest that abolitionist dis-epistemology requires logics and tactics equally as multifaceted and nuanced as the criminal justice system itself.
Doctor of Philosophy
This is an applied philosophy project based on ethnographic research in the New York City jails. It provides insight into the practices of jail intake as a way to draw out the ways in which carceral bodies come to be enacted. The project grows out of feminist science studies. The two central questions are 1) how do jail intake processes produce carceral bodies (analog and digital) and what are the implications? 2) how are jail intake processes reflective of the values and logics of a carceral society? These questions are addressed through the domains of data, space, and time, which serve as the organizing framework of this project. The focus on intake enactments draws out the multiplicities of carceral realities, which has the potential to resist essentializing conceptualizations of the criminal. In doing so, this dissertation project demonstrates the potential for abolitionist science and technology studies to disrupt the criminal justice status quo.

Annotation:

The thesis is a socio-cultural study of IRCAM, a large, state-funded computer music research institute in Paris directed by the avant garde composer Pierre Boulez. The approach is primarily ethnographic, supported by broader historical analysis. The aim is to provide a critical portrait of musical modernism and post modernism as expressed by IRCAM and its milieu; and to place this in historical perspective by combining anthropology with cultural history. Theoretically, the thesis examines the contradictory position of the contemporary musical avant garde: established in official cultural spheres, yet lacking wider public appeal and cultural influence. In this context, the central problem is how IRCAM continues to legitimise itself. The thesis opens with a discussion of literature on the critical sociocultural study of music, on the sociology of culture (especially the work of Bourdieu and Williams), and on the avant garde and modernism. Chapters 2 to 4 provide the basic account of the institution, including status distinctions, stratification, and power structures. Three local historical influences on IRCAM are outlined: the American computer music network, the French national context, and Boulez's history and ideas. Chapters 5 to 8 analyse IRCAM's musical, scientific and technological work, examining the gaps between aims and actuality, ideology and practice. The character of IRCAM's dominant, 'dissident' and 'vanguard' projects are explored. The classification systems that structure the institute's internal conflicts and ideological differences are drawn out (Ch. 6). Chapters 7 and 8 focus in on computer music production, and describe the mediations and phenomenology of this and related software research. One composer's visit is detailed, and the social and technological problems inherent in this work are analysed. Chapter 9 provides an analysis of the main historical aesthetic traditions which inform IRCAM culture - modernism and post modernism - and develops an hypothesis of their discursive character and interrelation. This is related back to IRCAM culture, and throws light on the inter- and intra-subjective differentiation of IRCAM intellectuals, which in turn allows an analysis of mechanisms in the social construction of aesthetics and technology at IRCAM. The preceding analyses generate insight into the representation of modernism and post modernism within IRCAM. The Conclusions describe major developments at IRCAM after fieldwork. The legitimation of IRCAM is linked to its institutional and ideological forms: particularly its processes of self-legitimation, resting on the discursive authority of its own internal vanguard, and the universalising character of advanced computer music discourse. Finally, there is consideration of IRCAM's place in long term cultural processes, and of the implications for theorising cultural reproduction and change.

This thesis explores the evolution of the electric power sector in New England under the expansion of transmission capacity and under policy with increasing Clean Energy Standards (CES). I use EleMod, a Capacity Expansion Planning model, to compare (1) the reference case of current transmission assets, (2) increasing transmission interface capacities within New England, (3) increasing interconnection capacities with Canada, and (4) both capacity expansions. Transmission expansion allows electricity trade between states and enables them to take advantage of localized, intermittent resources like wind power. Increasing the interconnection capacity with Canada allows the system to optimally allocate the available hydropower energy for imports in the hours of highest net demand. Both transmission expansions together make even stronger use of their contributions. For the capacity expansion model, I choose a set of generation technologies available in New England, and supply cost and operational data from public domain sources. My contributions to EleMod include: (1) the representation of transmission interfaces for New England; (2) the addition of an CES policy standard forcing generation shares from a subset of CES-eligible resources; (3) the modeling of an external hydro reservoir resource in Canada that can be used to supply the load in New England based on cross-border interconnection constraints and the total available energy per year; and (4) the detailed state-level representation of the New England power sector with generation technologies, installed capacities, transmission interface capacities, and CES targets. Policy scenarios increase CES from an average of 25% in 2018 in the base scenario to 95% in 2050 in the decarbonization scenario. Through all policy scenarios, combined-cycle gas plants (GasCC) with carbon capture and storage (CCS) technology dominate the capacity expansions. Increases in transmission capacity lead to higher shares of wind in generation, especially when both transmission and interconnection are expanded. Natural gas, in the form of GasCC with and without CCS, takes shares of the generation mix of up to 85% by 2050. Thus, I also assess the role of pipeline capacities into New England. Because other natural gas uses like residential heating demand have priority over generators, gas-fired power plants cannot expect to meet all their demand during critical periods of shortage in the winter. However, this issue is part of a larger integrated resource planning process. Both transmission and interconnection expansion reduce total system costs by an annual 3.95% and 4.29%, respectively. Because transmission costs are not included in the model, I separately assess the costs and benefits of both transmission expansion scenarios. Transmission expansions from Maine to Massachusetts of 2,000 MW and interconnection expansions to Canada of 3,000 MW and 4,500 MW from Maine and Vermont, respectively, allow for optimal allocation of flows across lines in over 90% of the hours. For interconnection, the calculation estimates costs to be about 1% higher than the benefits, and for transmission within the region the benefits exceed the costs by about 40%.

According to the Presidential Policy Directive 21, the natural gas and the power systems should be able to recover quickly following a disaster and also be able to anticipate high-impact, low-probability events, rapidly recover, and absorb lessons for adapting its operation and structure for preventing or mitigating the impact of similar events in the future. All of this brings in a growing need for resiliency as the natural gas and electricity systems need to have robust recovery strategies in the face of physical, environmental, cybernetic, security or societal threats. The importance of gas and electricity system resilience increases even further, as the interdependency of the two sectors deepens, especially here in New England, where natural gas now accounts for 50% of region's total power plant capacity. In this thesis, a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model of integrated gas and electricity system is used to do contingency analysis and determine components of both systems that are critical to improve resilience. The model's main contribution is that it represents gas dynamics accurately. Using this model, we looked at several threats at the junction of gas and electricity systems. Based on the model results, higher line-pack, and pressures, as well as additional compressor capacity investments, were shown to improve system resiliency. The model could be used as a decision support tool for policy-makers to do contingency analysis of gas-electricity systems.

Many obstacles contribute to the uncertainty and risk associated with early drug development, leading to the "valley of death" in which promising drug candidates experience difficulties in reaching the market. These challenges have serious consequences for patient populations facing significant unmet medical needs. In this paper, we highlight three models that offer innovative financing mechanisms or new business models for early stage biopharmaceutical assets. Specifically, we evaluate and profile examples of venture philanthropy and academic-industry partnerships as sources of financial capital for early stage assets. In addition, we identify a "one-disease" business model in biotechnology that can mitigate risk and accelerate the translation of biomedical research into novel therapeutics. The three examples highlight the potential for creative mission-driven models to speed up drug development and provide capital in the earliest, and often riskiest, stages of drug development. These models are collaborative and leverage the expertise of the various stakeholders in the process, including patient advocates, private sector drug developers, and academic researchers.

Recent years have seen an unprecedented increase in the adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs) in distribution networks around the world. In most jurisdictions the increase in DERs has been met with a "fit and forget" network management approach whereby grid planners accommodate these resources by expanding the capacity of the network with conventional technologies. However, the continued use of a "fit and forget" network management approach will lead to large inefficiencies compared to a network management approach in which DERs play an active role in the planning and operation of distribution networks. The transition to actively managed distribution networks, however, will require the development and deployment of a variety of new technologies and systems, and a sea change in the roles of electricity distribution utilities and in the ways in which utilities are regulated. The objective of this thesis is to equip regulators and network planners with a set of tools that, if adopted, will aid these organizations in transitioning from a passively managed to an actively managed network management paradigm. First, tools are presented for enabling network utilities to invest in the least-cost mix of conventional and unconventional network resources. These include regulatory tools for equalizing incentives for operational and capital expenditures, as well as a quantitative methodology that can aid planners in assessing the least-cost mix of conventional and unconventional investments. Second, regulatory tools are presented for enabling network utilities to adequately invest in specific outcomes that are not directly linked to economic efficiency but that will nonetheless be important for the transition to actively managed networks. Finally, regulatory tools are presented for encouraging distribution utilities to engage in long-term innovation - that is, investment in demonstration projects, as well as the technological learning that emerges from those projects and dissemination of knowledge and best practices between network utilities, technology providers, technology users, and other market participants.

For more than twenty years, considerable amounts of research have been conducted on the integration of technology into the classroom-learning environment and the effect of technology on student achievement. In an attempt to improve the effectiveness of schooling, educators and policymakers are making substantial investments in infrastructure and teacher training to support successful technology implementation and integration in schools.Contemporary research strongly suggests that in order for students to compete globally in the 21st century workplace, pedagogy must be transformed to include the integration of technology into the curriculum. Technology has been linked to improved student learning and achievement when the teacher effectively incorporates innovative teaching strategies into lessons. Since there is an association between teacher attitude and the use of technology in increasing motivation and engagement, it is necessary to examine teacher attitude toward technology as a tool for improving student learning and achievement.This research study conducted in one large suburban school district on Long Island, New York in the United States of America, examines students’ attitudes toward learning with technology and their achievement in the Regents Living Environment science classroom when technology is used as an instructional strategy. The effect of the technology on grade level and were also conducted. An examination of the research study district was conducted because of the sizeable investment both financially and in human resources to implement and integrate technology into the curriculum. Nearly 700 students and 11 teachers participated in the research. A co-educational sample represented a diverse population of students.To obtain quantitative data, a pilot study was conducted with nearly 200 students in April 2010 using a combination of two existing questionnaires, the Pupils’ Attitude Toward Technology – USA (PATT-USA) and one scale – Technology Teaching – from the modified Technology-Rich Outcomes-Focused Learning Environment Inventory (TROFLEI). The researcher embedded district-specific items to make the study more meaningful to the students in this research district. Using the response of students to the PATT-USA and one scale from modified TROFLEI, several items were omitted resulting in 79 items that were administered to almost 700 students across grades 9-12 between May and June of 2010.In turn, these student responses were subject to principal component and principal factor analysis resulting in the deletion of items and the creation of new scales that demonstrated high Cronbach alpha reliabilities. There are statistically significant gender differences in all the scales of the questionnaire. However, only two scales demonstrated significant differences when tested for grade level. This new instrument: Learning Environment Questionnaire - Assessing Students’ Attitude to Technology can be used by future researchers. To supplement and validate quantitative data, qualitative data were collected using the Students’ Reaction Towards Learning Science in a Technology-Supported Classroom interview schedule. To investigate teachers’ views toward technology, the Teachers’ Views of Technology and Teaching Instrument (TVTT) were used.Results indicated that while both students and teachers had positive attitudes and views toward technology integration in the Regents Living Environment classroom, significant increases in achievement were not found over a two-year period. Additionally, the results suggest that there are significant differences toward technology integration based on grade level and gender in favour of grade 12 and males. Information obtained from this research implies that the value of technology integration shows promise in improving learning and achievement, but the ability of achievement based on current standardized assessment and transform technology tools to accommodate differences in grade level and gender have not been attained. Furthermore, implications for educators and policymakers must be in adapting the use of technology into their assessment of achievement to incorporate the preparation of students to learn and achieve in the global society.

New Delhi (and India more broadly) is noted for extremely high levels of ambient PM2.5, caused by a pattern of rapid urbanization and economic growth. As a large proportion of Indian buildings employ natural- or mixed-mode ventilation, and citizens in New Delhi spend up to 80% of their time indoors, the response of buildings to outdoor-sourced PM2.5 is a major, but relatively under-investigated concern. While much past work in this area has focused on characterizing indoor-outdoor pollutant concentration ratios under different conditions and studying the important question of exposure to cooking related PM2.5 emissions, building dynamical behavior, the feasibility of ventilation control strategies and air purification to reduce indoor PM2.5 concentrations have not been examined in detail. This gap is mirrored in the lack of enforcement of standards for indoor air quality and ventilation in India. In this work, a multi-zone building simulation program, CoolVent, is developed further to incorporate pollutant transport modeling and to consider the effects of urban environments on the driving mass transfer and heat exchange processes by using a mix of methods including a computational fluid dynamics approach to arrive at wind pressure coefficients. The adapted program and simulation framework is used to examine the behavior and performance of archetypal residential buildings in New Delhi and determine the efficacy of control strategies in reducing indoor PM2.5 levels to acceptable international standards. The results suggest that under representative conditions, buildings largely fail to provide healthy environments and hourly average indoor concentrations of PM2.5 closely follow ambient levels, which can exceed 300 [mu]g/m3. Under conditions of strict ventilation control, cooking-related ventilation, use of high efficiency particulate air filtration and limited infiltration through the building envelope, indoor PM2.5 levels may be limited below a threshold of 75 [mu]g/m3 even during periods of very high ambient pollutant concentrations. These findings have implications for building response and operation, urban and indoor air quality management and building codes. Options are discussed for policymakers to reduce exposure to PM2.5 within buildings and enable building occupants to manage their environments better. These span increasing access to appropriate filtration and low-cost air quality monitoring and information, and improvements to building codes. As ambient pollutant levels can be the primary drivers of indoor exposure to PM2.5 for large parts of a typical year, means for reducing PM2.5 emissions from a dominant source, vehicle exhaust, are evaluated.

Relying on framing theory, this study used The New York Times to explore how Chinese news was depicted before, during and after the Beijing Summer Olympics. The research regarding how the Chinese government tried to leverage the Olympics to enhance its image is often deliberated. However, there have only been a 3 few studies on the evaluation of the effects the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympic Games had on the image of China, as depicted by The New York Times. This study generated an understanding of the impact the presentations of The New York Times had on the soft power used by China through the Beijing Summer Olympic Games. The study examined how the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics were associated with the depiction of Chinese news in The New York Times during the pre-, mid-, and post-Olympics years. Specifically, world and business sections within The New York Times were mainly influenced by the effects of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. In addition, there were no direct associations found between the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics and how China was depicted photographically in The New York Times. In terms of the above factors; this study showed that China's national image did not improve in the New York Times after the 2008 Bejing Summer Olympic Games.

This thesis sets out to investigate the representation of smartphones by one of the biggest English daily newspapers of the world – the New York Times – and further sheds light on the potential influence the newspaper has on the norms of smartphone behavior. The research is conducted in two parts. For the first research question through a quantitative and the second research question a qualitative content analysis of New York Times articles about smartphones from the years 2007 and 2016. For the content analysis as well as the analysis of the results three different theoretical frameworks are applied: Stuart Hall’s (1997b) representation theory, McGuire’s (2001) media effect factors and social norms theory, mainly according to Cristina Bicchieri (2017). Since assumptions on the outcome of research question one exist on the grounds of previous research conducted in the field, two hypotheses were formed:H1 – In 2007 the coverage of smartphones will be mainly positive and focus on technological aspects.H2 – In 2016 the coverage will be more critical about the consequences of the pervasion and influence of the smartphone in society.The main findings of the thesis are, for research question one, a validation of the hypotheses through the quantitative content analysis and application of the representation theory through which a distinction in the representation of the smartphones denotation and connotation could be made. And for research question two, that the strongest potential of influence on norms of smartphone behavior lies in conveying and updating and thus sometimes changing of empirical and normative expectations together with further intertwined factors.

Using Kinder zhurnal, an American Yiddish children's literary magazine, as the focus for this thesis, the intimate relationships between the Yiddish cultural movement which began in East Europe and the Yiddish secular school movement in America are explored. As a product of and for the Sholom Aleichem Folk Institute, a now defunct educational organization, Kinder zhurnal demonstrated the key philosophical tenets of the Yiddishist education movement as it evolved.
In an analysis of the Yiddishist philosophy of education parallels are drawn between modern Yiddish secular education and that of John Dewey in their humanistic emphasis and underlying pragmatism. Utilizing the parameters of the Yiddishist/Deweyian theory, an assessment to determine the practical viability of the Yiddishist concepts is made. Kinder zhurnal, as representative of Yiddishist philosophy and educational methodology, provides the microcosmic source for much of this discussion. Its close affiliation with the unique educational philosophy of the Sholom Aleichem Folk Institute provides the opportunity to examine the educational implications of teaching Yiddish as part of Jewish education.

This thesis addresses to find whether technology readiness, while developing a system of new derivative vehicles, has an influence on the time required to design a part that involves styling and engineering activities. For doing so Styling Level and Technology Readiness were identified as independent variables, whereas Styling Iterations and Styling Iterations Time were designated as the dependent variables. In this case, the tools used to confirm correlation among variables were simple and multiple linear regressions. As it will be further detailed, Styling Iterations Time had the highest response to Technology Readiness while the rest of variables had no significant correlation on time duration for Studio and Engineering design activities. Based on hypothesis results and using OPM hierarchical decomposition, relations between processes and objects were analyzed at a given design state in order to evaluate complete matching relying on bipartite graphs and Hall's Marriage theorem. In addition, it was outlined how to identify delayed processes that fail to coexist due to a low technology readiness at a given design state using the Four-Colour theorem and elaborating about the application of chromatic number and polynomials to the OPM system's architecture. The system of interest was the headlamps system developed under Ford Global Product Development System (GPDS) using the Global Exterior Lighting Plan (PDP).

Western countries, institutions, and people from all walks of land, including Africans, have carried the notion that it is riskier to invest in African countries compared to countries in other continents. This study verified if that notion is empirically established or it is just a mere notion born out of people's imagination and unfounded belief. The study did select one special metal mining company listed on the New York stock exchange from every continent using a systematic random sampling of period five. All these stocks' data were daily data spanning the period 2003-06 - 2020:06 obtained from Yahoo Finance. The said duration was used for the analysis because one of the companies selected for the study only had stock data starting from 2003-06-25. Because of Generalized Autoregressive Conditionally Heteroscedastic (GARCH) ability to model the conditional randomly varying volatility, the study trained several of them for a different order of the GARCH terms σ2, and the order of the ARCH terms ε2 and for different distributions. Based on the AIC and BIC, the GARCH model that best fitted the data was GARCH (1,1), thus order one of the GARCH terms σ2 and order one of the ARCH terms ε2 based on student-t innovation. The study proceeded to estimate the risk measure using three of the approaches (risk metrics, Block Maxima Method under extreme value situation, and Generalized Pareto Distribution (GPD) for the tail ends of the distribution). None of the approaches or methods used in calculating VaR or conditional VaR (ES) of the stocks supported the conventional beliefs and age long-held purported gospel that African counties are the riskiest to invest on earth. In the risk metrics approach, the African stock was second riskiest to European stock. At the same time, in extreme value situations, it was third to European and South American; with GPD, it was third once again to South American and European stock. The study proceeded to verify if this founding were statistically significant. Applying analysis of variance (ANOVA), found that none of the differences established above is statistically significant. Meaning, statistically, the value and conditional value of one's investment that will be at risk is not different based on the investment's continental location. Thus, it is not statistically riskier to invest in one continent than the other.

The New Medical Device Regulations (MDR) will become affective on 26 May, 2021. The new regulation entails higher requirements for companies that develop medical devices, but also for all parties involved in the medical device industry. The strengthened requirements mean that it will be more difficult to meet all the criteria for placing medical devices on the market. This thesis has been carried out on behalf of the Swedish Institute for Standards (SIS) and examines companies' transition to MDR and how companies can get support from SIS, but also by other organizations and authorities. A qualitative literature study and document study has been carried out to ponder interview questions, which have then been answered by companies, authorities and organizations who are in one way or another affected by the transition to MDR. Part of the work was also to find out how the companies, depending on size, differ from each other to comply with the new regulation. The results showed that the transition to MDR differs significantly between all the interviewed parties, but that everyone agrees that standardization is important.
Den nya förordningen om medicintekniska produkter (MDR) kommer att träda i kraft den 26 maj, 2021. Den nya förordningen innebär högre krav på företag som utvecklar medicintekniska produkter, men även på alla inblandade parter i den medicintekniska industrin. De stärkta kraven innebär att det kommer vara svårare att uppfylla alla kriterier för att kunna placera medicintekniska produkter på marknaden. Detta examensarbete har utförts på uppdrag av Svenska Institutet för Standarder (SIS) och undersöker företagens övergång till MDR och hur företag kan få stöd, bland annat av SIS, men också av andra organisationer och myndigheter. Det har genomförts en kvalitativ litteraturstudie och dokumentstudie för att formulera intervjufrågor som sedan har besvarats av företag, myndigheter och organisationer som på ett eller annat sätt blir påverkade vid övergången till MDR. En del av arbetet var även att ta reda på hur företagen, beroende på storlek, skiljer sig mellan varandra vad gälleratt uppfylla det nya regelverket. Resultatet visade att övergången till MDR skiljer sig markant mellan alla de intervjuade parterna, men att alla är eniga om att standardisering är viktigt.

Annotation:

The present study was aimed at extending our knowledge of the antioxidative properties of the milk protein products, whey protein isolate (WPI) and sodium caseinate (NaCas), in oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). In particular, the objective was to contribute to our understanding of the compositional and processing factors that influence the oxidative stability of protein-stabilised O/W emulsions. Linoleic acid (approximately 60 %) was used as the lipid for the oil phase (10.6 %). The emulsion samples were usually incubated at 50 °C to accelerate lipid oxidation. Lipid oxidation indicators were lipid hydroperoxides and headspace hexanal, determined by solid phase microextraction (SPME) combined with gas chromatography (GC). WPI- or NaCas-stabilised emulsions were prepared using a wide range of protein concentrations (0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0, 7.0 or 10.0 %) at two droplet sizes (d32 = 0.31 and 0.65 µm). In general, higher lipid oxidation levels were found for the larger droplet size. Increasing protein concentration led to a decrease in the lipid oxidation rate. The greatest decrease in lipid hydroperoxide levels (values after 4 h) occurred at up to 4.0 % protein concentration. The greatest decrease in hexanal levels (values after 24 h) occurred at up to 4.0 % protein concentration in WPI emulsions (0.31 µm). The hexanal levels were more independent of the protein concentration in the other emulsion types. The hexanal level decreased at protein concentrations > 4.0 % in NaCas emulsions (0.31 and 0.65 µm) and at protein concentrations > 7.0 % in WPI emulsions (0.65 µm). The difference between lipid hydroperoxide generation in emulsions with small and large droplet sizes decreased with increasing protein concentration. This effect was more pronounced in NaCas emulsions. In general, NaCas was a better inhibitor of lipid oxidation than WPI, but WPI appeared to be the better antioxidant at some droplet size/protein concentration combinations. The protein in the continuous phase, i.e. the unadsorbed protein, played an important role in lipid oxidation. In principal, the lipid hydroperoxide and hexanal levels showed the same development over the continuous phase protein concentration as over the protein concentration in WPI and NaCas emulsions (d32 = 0.31 µm). A low NaCas level in the continuous phase already led to a relatively low hexanal level, whereas a higher WPI level was required. When NaCas solution was added to a WPI emulsion or WPI solution was added to a NaCas emulsion, a synergistic antioxidative effect was observed. The high molecular weight fractions (molecular weight = 12000-14000) of WPI and NaCas contained pro-oxidative metal ions that contributed to lipid oxidation in the emulsions. An enrichment of NaCas emulsions with the low molecular weight fraction of NaCas (with a molecular weight = 12000-14000) notably inhibited lipid oxidation. An enrichment of WPI emulsions with the low molecular weight fraction of WPI (with a molecular weight = 12000-14000) also seemed to inhibit lipid oxidation, but the effect was not significant. The protein solutions were enriched with these fractions before emulsion preparation. Pure WPI solution or mixed WPI/NaCas (1:1, weight/weight) solution with 1.12 or 2.24 % protein concentration was heated at 84 °C for up to 40 min, cooled and then used to prepare emulsions. Lipid oxidation was generally not affected by the heat treatment or the degree of whey protein denaturation. However, at the lower WPI concentration, more hexanal was produced for the longer heating times (20, 30 and 40 min) and this appeared to be connected with the physical instability of the emulsions. Greater oxidative stability was found at the higher protein concentration and when the proteins were mixed, pointing to a possible synergistic antioxidative effect of WPI and NaCas. The addition of the free radical source 2,2’-azobis(2-amidinopropane) dihydrochloride (AAPH) greatly increased the oxygen uptake and the generation of lipid hydroperoxides in the emulsions. The oxidative stability increased with increasing protein concentration (1.0, 4.0 and 7.0 %). NaCas had a greater antioxidative effect than WPI. The inhibition of oxygen uptake appeared to be largely influenced by the free-radical-scavenging activity of the system, determined by the protein type and the protein concentration, as the radicals were produced linearly over time and oxygen was consumed linearly over time. It can therefore be concluded that free-radical-scavenging activity represents a major antioxidative mechanism of the milk proteins. Oxygen was consumed much faster in emulsions than in protein solutions when the same level of AAPH was incorporated. In a WPI (1.0 % protein) emulsion, much lower levels of protein hydroperoxides than of lipid hydroperoxides developed. This pointed to a much greater reactivity of linoleic acid than of the milk proteins with oxygen. In contrast, the exposure of WPI to oxidising linoleic acid in an emulsion (1.0 % protein) or to AAPH in aqueous solution led to oxidative damage of the whey proteins, indicated by the loss of amino acids. The loss of specific amino acids was different for proteins in the continuous phase or cream phase of an emulsion or in WPI solution. The present study confirms the antioxidative potential of WPI and NaCas and gives new insights into their functionality as oxidative stabilisers in O/W emulsions.

Annotation:

La période 1960 – 1990 a été agitée et féconde aux États-Unis malgré l’échec du projet de Grande Société et de lutte contre la pauvreté du président L.B. Johnson. L’Amérique a profité des retombées de sa domination économique et militaire pour financer l’éducation, le logement (G.I. Bill) ainsi que les arts (N.E.A.). De 1960 à 1990 la photographie est entrée massivement à l’université, dans les musées et dans le marché de l’art. Le paysage a toujours été un genre artistique privilégié aux États-Unis, de la peinture du dix-neuvième siècle à la photographie depuis son invention qui coïncide avec la découvertes de nouveaux territoires qui crée le pays. Le médium a documenté le développement territorial du pays puis s’est affirmé sur la scène de la photographie créative occidentale. Les années considérées vont voir la photographie créative américaine passer d’une période « romantique » tournée vers l’abstraction et le monde intérieur de l’artiste, conséquence des persécutions politiques de l’immédiat après-guerre, vers une réflexion ontologique et expérimentale, pour finalement traiter de problèmes de société tout en restant connectée aux réflexions esthétiques et philosophiques communes aux autres arts. Au sortir des années 1980, la photographie américaine de paysage, celle des grands espaces mais également celle des espaces humanisés, urbanisés, domine la scène internationale inspirant un renouveau du genre en Europe, au Canada, au Japon,…. Lancé par une exposition alors jugée mineure en 1975, le phénomène New Topographics est devenu planétaire et perdure. Ces quinze dernières années, de nombreuses expositions des paysagistes américains de cette période ont circulé à travers le monde, phénomène révélateur de leur rôle dans notre culture occidentalo – planétaire ainsi que pour l’histoire du médium
During the 1960 – 1990 period, in spite of the psychological and economical fall-outs of the various wars (Cold War, Korea and Vietnam ) undermining L.B. Johnson’s hopes and plans for a Great Society and his War on Poverty, the American government used its world supremacy and the derived wealth acquired in the wake of W.W. II (the USA was the only western country whose industrial production was impacted positively) to finance popular housing, adult education (G.I. Bill), and the arts (N.E.A.). During those years photography crashed the doors of academia, museum and art institutions, and entered the art market. Landscape has always been a major genre in the American visual arts, from the paintings of the nineteenth century (the Hudson River School, the Luminists) to photography. An interesting synchronicity can be observed between the birth, growth and coming of age of both the medium and the country. Landscape photography participated in the creation of an American identity. A century later, during what we can now call the Golden Age of American landscape photography from New Topographics in the 1970s to the advent of color photography in the 1980s, photographers turned their lenses back toward the east at the damage done and the state of the landscape left behind. The production of wall-size prints followed, competing for attention with paintings on the walls of museums and galleries that welcome them. Since the Culture Wars of the late 1980s and the 1990s, and the defunding of the arts that ensued, the rest of the world has caught up, influenced by the traveling exhibitions and publications of that generation of American photographers

Annotation:

While much has been written on the Australian film and television industry, little has been presented by actual producers, filmmakers and technicians of their time and experiences within that same industry. Similarly, with historical documentaries, it has been academics rather than filmmakers who have led the debate. This thesis addresses this shortcoming and bridges the gap between practitioner experience and intellectual discussion, synthesising the debate and providing an important contribution from a filmmaker-academic, in its own way unique and insightful. The thesis is presented in two voices. First, my voice, the voice of memoir and recollected experience of my screen adventures over 38 years within the Australian industry, mainly producing historical documentaries for the ABC and the SBS. This is represented in italics. The second half and the alternate chapters provide the industry framework in which I worked with particular emphasis on documentaries and how this evolved and developed over a 40-year period, from 1970 to 2010. Within these two voices are three layers against which this history is reviewed and presented. Forming the base of the pyramid is the broad Australian film industry made up of feature films, documentary, television drama, animation and other types and styles of production. Above this is the genre documentary within this broad industry, and making up the small top tip of the pyramid, the sub-genre of historical documentary. These form the vertical structure within which industry issues are discussed. Threading through it are the duel determinants of production: ‘the market’ and ‘funding’. Underpinning the industry is the involvement of government, both state and federal, forming the three dimensional matrix for the thesis. For over 100 years the Australian film industry has depended on government support through subsidy, funding mechanisms, development assistance, broadcast policy and legislative provisions. This thesis aims to weave together these industry layers, binding them with the determinants of the market and funding, and immersing them beneath layers of government legislation and policy to present a new view of the Australian film industry.

Annotation:

This dissertation addresses the convergence of ethics, labor, aesthetics, cultural citizenship, and the circulation of knowledge among experimental electronic instrument builders in New York City and Berlin. This loosely connected group of musician-inventors engages in what I call “DIY music technology” due to their shared do-it-yourself ethos and their use of emerging and repurposed technologies, which allow for new understandings of musical invention. My ethnography follows a constellation of self-described hackers, “makers,” sound and noise artists, circuit benders, avant-garde/experimental musicians, and underground rock bands through these two cities, exploring how they push the limits of what “music” and “instruments” can encompass, while forming local, transnational, and virtual networks based on shared interests in electronics tinkering and independent sound production. This fieldwork is supplemented with inquiries into the construction of “DIY” as a category of invention, labor, and citizenship, through which I trace the term’s creative and commercial tensions from the emergence of hobbyism as a form of productive leisure to the prevailing discourse of punk rock to its adoption by the recent Maker Movement. I argue that the cultivation of the self as a “productive” cultural citizen—which I liken to a state of “permanent prototyping”—is central to my interlocutors’ activities, through which sound, self, and instrument are continually remade. I build upon the idea of “technoaesthetics” (Masco 2006) to connect the inner workings of musical machines with the personal transformations of DIY music technologists as inventors fuse their aural imaginaries with industrial, biological, environmental, and sometimes even magical imagery. Integral to these personal transformations is a challenge to corporate approaches to musical instrument making and selling, though this stance is often strained when commercial success is achieved. Synthesizing interdisciplinary perspectives from ethno/musicology, anthropology, and science and technology studies, I demonstrate that DIY music technologists forge a distinctive sense of self and citizenship that critiques, yet remains a cornerstone of, artistic production and experience in a post-digital “Maker Age.”

High-tech industry itself possesses high risks, combined with fast fluctuation, short product life cycles. High-tech enterprises thus have to own the flexibility to deal with such situation and enable to survival in the most competitive environment. In the light of increasingly important Research & Development activities and more competitive new products on the market, industries in Taiwan have all require being committed to activities for developing new products. Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology, an eminent institution developing national defensive weapons, deserves to be explored in its performances of new products development. This research explores the effects of organization characteristic and new product development process on the performance of new product development, and takes large-sized weapon system of Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology as the research object; the research is carried out in the way of the case study, conducting in-depth interviews in structure. The research uses four variables in the organization characteristic, such as encouragements for creativity, supervisor’s support, resources and time pressure; the new product development process contains five stages, which are product creativity, product concept, product prototype, final product and marketing plan; New product development performances to be explored in their influences include financial performance, market performance, window of opportunity as the framework of the research. The purpose of the research focuses on the following three points: 1. It explores the relations between organization characteristic and new product development process. 2. It explores the effects of the organization characteristic and new product development process to new products, 3. It explores the effects of the organization characteristic and new product development process to new products in Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology Important findings: 1. On the process of developing new products, either organizational encouragements or superiors’ supports or ample resources have been beneficial to the increase of employees’ creativity; organizational encouragements, superiors’ supports and employee stimulation have greater links with employees’ inner motive; however, ample resources may bring direct effect on employees’ creativity. 2. Case study reveals that there are two hindrance factors on the process of developing new products at Chung Shan Institute of Science and Technology: (1) the product life cycle is longer, so it required less continuing innovation nor new product developments; (2) it has certain markets and fixed customers, so marketing strategies have not been particularly emphasized.

The purposes of this study were to (1) understand the status of new nurses’ working stress, job satisfactions and intention to leave, (2) investigate the impacts of personal attributes on their working stress, job satisfactions and the intention to leave, (3) investigate the relationships among working stress, job satisfactions and intention to leave of these nurses, (4) explore the predictable factors of their job satisfactions status, and (5) explore the predictable factors of their intention to leave. A cross-sectional study was conducted using convenience sampling approach. Participants were recruited from graduates in an institute of technology in northern Taiwan. They had worked in health care institutions for one to twelve months. Structured questionnaires which included personal attributes, working stress, job satisfaction, and intention to leave scales were used for data collection. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS 12.0 for windows. A total of 214 valid questionnaires was obtained and the results are as follows. Participants’ level of working stress was from mild to moderate, their job satisfaction was moderate, and their intention to leave were from rarely to occasionally. Their working stress was significantly different by their working units, salary, and the working motivation. Their job satisfaction was significantly different by their working units, working motivation and practice experiences in the hospitals. Their intention to leave was significantly different by their educational level, working units, part-time working experiences in the hospitals, and working motivation. In addition, participants’ working stress was significantly and negatively correlated with their seniority after graduation, job satisfaction and duration of part-time work. Their intention to leave was significantly and positively correlated with their working stress and seniority after graduation but was significantly and negatively correlated with their job satisfaction. Moreover, working stress and working sections were the significant predictors of job satisfaction, explaining 56% of the variances. Working stress, job satisfaction, seniority after graduation, and working units were the significant predictors of intention to leave, explaining 53% of the variances. The findings of this research can be served as a reference for nursing curriculum design and for new nurse training program. Hopefully the application of the research results could have positive impact on reducing their working stress, increasing nurses’ job satisfactions, reducing their intension to leave, and furthermore lowering their actual behaviors of resignation.

The research topic was the relationship between Campus Security Management of colleges and Perception of Campus Safety Climate of college students. The study samples were consisted of lnstitute of Technology in New Taipei City of Taiwan, and the researcher used two kinds of self-designed instruments: Campus Security Management Scale and Perception of Campus Safety Climate Scale as research questionnaire to investigate the performances with college students' background variables. Purposive sampling method was adapted, and there were 745 effective samples left. The main findings of the present study were summarized as follows: 1. The college students showed "middle-high" agreements with the utility of Campus Security Management, and the CSM scale revealed three dimensions including Maintenance of Equipment, Management of Crisis, and Measure of Service. 2. The college students showed "middle-high" performances at Perception of Campus Safety Climate, and the PCSC scale revealed four dimensions including Support of Security, Fear of Victimization, Sentience of Safety, and Consciousness of Environment. 3. The background variables including gender, the education and training about safety, and the experience of victimization, all of them revealed significant differences in the three dimensions of campus safety management. 4. The background variables of students including gender, the education and training about safety, and the experience of victimization, all of them revealed significant differences in the four dimensions of the perception of campus safety climate. 5. The background variables of school including Environmental consciousness, Fear of Victimization, Safe Sentience, reveal significant differences in the perception of three dimensions and the campus safety climate. 6. There was a predictive effect of Campus Safety Management to Perception of Campus Safety Climate. Three dimension of Campus Safety Management including Maintenance of Equipment, Management of Crisis, and Measure of Service had significant predictive power. 7. Variables of school background, college students' personal background, and Campus Safety Management could significant predict Perception of Campus Safety Climate.

Annotation:

Muriel Cooper (1925–94) worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for more than four decades as a graphic designer, an educator, and a researcher. Beginning in the early 1950s, she was the first designer in MIT’s Office of Publications, where she visualized the latest scientific research in print. In the late 1960s, she became the first Design and Media Director for the MIT Press, rationalizing its publishing protocols and giving form to some of the period’s most significant texts in the histories of art, design, and architecture, among other fields. In the mid-1970s, Cooper co-founded the Visible Language Workshop in MIT’s Department of Architecture. There she taught experimental printing and explored new imaging technologies in photography and video. And from the 1980s until her death, Cooper was a founding faculty member of the MIT Media Lab, where she turned her attention to the human-computer interface. Cooper helped cultivate a design culture at MIT. And before her premature death, she established some of the metaphors and mentored some of the designers that have shaped our contemporary digital landscape. Few 20th century designers have made significant contributions in both print and digital media, or helped to navigate the epochal transition between the two. Yet Cooper, in designing and redesigning roles for herself within new fields at MIT, did just that. Over her career and across multiple media, Cooper’s concerns remained quite consistent: She focused on developing both design tools and user experiences that would provide greater control and quicker feedback, eventually to be aided by machine intelligence. She sought to create experiences that were dynamic rather than static and simultaneous rather than linear, ones that engaged multiple media and a range of human senses. Cooper applied her knowledge of print design to software, and considered print and the process of its production as a prototype for the experiences that she would seek on screen. She also borrowed freely from media such as photography and film to inspire some of the effects she would later explore in new media. Cooper’s career traced an arc, in her practice and her pedagogy, from a focus on objects to one on systems. And her relationship to the digital evolved from a set of effects to be emulated in other media to seeing the computer at first as a tool, then as an assistant, and finally, as the medium itself. At the same time, she participated in a broader shift during this period from the paradigm of the humanist subject to the digitally augmented, “posthuman” condition of the present. In her interests and her achievements, Cooper exceeded any traditional definition of a graphic designer. At the same time, her work has defined the present state of the field. This dissertation, the first dedicated to Cooper, charts her pathbreaking career at MIT while also shedding new light on vital moments in the history of art, design, architecture, and media in postwar America.

Thesis (Master's Degree in Technology: Entrepreneurship), Durban Institute of Technology, 2003.
Over the last decade computer technology has impacted tremendously on the survival and productivity of organisations. In today's technologically advanced business environment, much emphasis is being placed on obtaining a competitive advantage through the use of computers - a commodity that has become available to almost everyone in an organisation. Increasing global competition and pressing social needs have impacted with such vigo~ that even tertiary institutions are now facing major financial constraints, thus forcing them to investigate alternative sources of income to maintain sustainability. Through the use of computer technology - searching, retrieving, sorting, producing and organising data efficiently and accurately - the belief is that many departments at the M L Sultan Campus of the Durban Institute of Technology can be converted into income-generating units that can be self-sustaining. There are many departments at the M L Sultan Campus with the relevant infrastructure and person-power to establish business units. These departments vary in the services that they provide, thus relevant information systems need to be aligned to future business units within these departments. This study focuses on a) investigating the impact of information technology and its systems on businesses; b) ensuring that information technology and its systems is looked at a~ a cost effective resource for maintaining a competitive edge and promoting business value. The interaction of business processes, people and technology will ensure successful planning and implementation of strategies within the potential business units; and c) recommending to selected departments the expected fmdings whereby they could choose to adopt these recommendations to transform themselves into business units in order to maintain a competitive edge for financial sustainability.
