Abstract:
This written thesis supports the MFA exhibition, Circle. In both thesis and exhibition, I articulate that the act of speaking language creates connection for both the speaker and the listener to the history of knowledge and ideas within its specific community of origin. The spoken language is connected to the history of knowledge and ideas within its specific community of origin and has a structure which implies physicality; therefore, the spoken language exists beside other established created objects within indigenous practice. Through the documentation of unique situations of indigenous language speaking within contexts of cultural practice, this thesis articulates my process of speaking my indigenous Tahltan language as a performance of indigenous Tahltan meaning which, in turn, is part of the creation process of the indigenous Tahltan objects in Circle. Both thesis and exhibition together are an offering of a blanket, a river, stones, salmon, and the Tahltan land, as an embodied practice of articulating Tahltan epistemologies through the creation of objects connected to spoken Tahltan language.

Abstract:

Due to the mounting rate of patients suffering from PTSD starting at a young age, there have been many studies and guidelines to help improve the conditions of these patients. Though there are many hospitals focusing on treatment of patients suffering from mental diseases, none of these hospitals or clinics concentrate on the welfare of the children suffering from PTSD specifically. The business plan discussed here addresses this concern. It is a healing center “Golden Circle” providing care and treatment to young adults aged between 13–25 years suffering from PTSD especially after road traffic accidents located in Los Angeles County. Golden Circle business plan is proposed to help identify the market trends and areas of concern by studying the company analysis, market potential and demand, competitor analysis, customer analysis, marketing strategy, feasibility and SWOT analysis, legal and regulatory issues and finally the financial analysis. Golden Circle is anticipated to help the society as well as generate good profit.

Abstract:
On November 26, 1966, during an archaeological survey, one of us (Bowen) and Stephen D. Hayden discovered a circle of stones on Punta Santa Rosa, a prominent point of land on the coast of mainland Sonora, Mexico (Figure 1 ). This in itself was not remarkable because they had encountered other circles previously. What was noteworthy was that this particular circle was surrounded by a ring of small jumping cholla cacti (Cylindropuntia fulgida var. fulgida) that seemed obviously planted. Punta Santa Rosa lies within the historic territory of the Seri (or Comcaac) Indians, and Bowen and Hayden knew that the Seris had used stone circles as part of the traditional vision quest. But since the Seris were considered a nonagricultural hunting-gathering-fishing people, the association of a presumably Seri circle with cacti that appeared intentionally planted seemed incongruous. At that time, however, Bowen and Hayden did nothing more with this odd feature than photograph it, give it the prosaic designation "Circle 6", and pass it off in an archaeological report as probably just an unusual Seri vision ring (Bowen 1976: 40). They did not anticipate that Circle 6 would continue to pose an ethnobotanical puzzle and one day provide an object lesson in archaeological interpretation. But puzzle it was. In this paper we reexamine Circle 6 in light of the known history of Seri planting. We consider several hypotheses, some of them proposed by modern Seris, about the circle's age, cultural identity, and function. We conclude that the original interpretation of Circle 6 as a vision ring is incorrect but that the peculiar cholla ring most likely does constitute a case of purposeful Seri planting.

Abstract:
Artist Statement From my earliest memories pattern and repetition of the details in my surroundings were things that caught my attention. The patterns found in the living room wallpaper, the fabric of my mom’s dress, the texture in the buttons found in the sewing box were all fascinating to me. Figuring out the rules of the pattern and being able to predict what came next satisfied my need for order. More recently, I have found myself breaking the rules of predictability by disrupting pattern and combining unexpected materials. With a focus on textiles, I am inspired by and drawn to processes that can be used to simulate the lines, pattern, repetition, and unexpected variety that is found in nature and architecture. There is whimsy in the multiple threads that make up the sights around us expressed in color and stitched line. I cycle through a process of identifying textures and patterns that attract me, then finding new ways to translate them in my art.

Abstract:
Telomeres, the nucleoprotein structures at the ends of linear chromosomes, maintain genomic stability by protecting chromosome ends from fusion, degradation, and processing by the DNA double-strand break repair machinery. Telomere shortening, which occurs naturally in somatic cells during aging, leads to cellular senescence or apoptosis. In contrast, germline cells and cancer cells acquire unlimited replicative potential by activating a telomere lengthening mechanism, generally via reactivating the enzyme telomerase reverse transcriptase. To date, drug development targeting cellular immortalization in cancer has focused on telomerase inhibition. However, in a subset of tumours and in vitro-immortalized cell lines, telomeres are maintained by homologous recombination-mediated pathways, termed alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT). ALT tumours are expected to be refractory to anti-telomerase therapies, so the ability to rapidly and reliably screen for ALT status in tumour-derived cells is essential for guiding therapeutic strategies that target cellular immortalization. One characteristic of ALT-mediated telomere maintenance is the presence of extrachromosomal telomeric repeat-containing DNA circles (t-circles), which provide an attractive target for detection in screening applications. Current methods oft-circle detection require considerable amounts of cells, making them unsuitable for analysis of limited clinical samples. We optimized a screen for ALT status based on a novel technique of rolling circle amplification (RCA) oft-circles from extrachromosomal DNA extracts of human ALT cells. We demonstrate that RCA requires a much lower number of cells than previously established t-circle detection methods, and screening many samples can be performed in parallel, making RCA suitable for analyzing clinical samples. T-circles were reproducibly detected in human immortalized ALT cell lines, but not in telomerase-utilizing cell lines. In addition, ectopic over-expression of telomerase in an ALT cell line does not appear to affect t-circle formation. This suggests that presence of active telomerase within a cell does not inhibit all telomeric recombination reactions. The potential for RCA as a tool to screen tumour samples for ALT activity and the link between telomerase and ALT-based telomere lengthening mechanisms are discussed.

Full text
Abstract:
Spherical circle planes are topological incidence geometries; one has a 2- sphere P and a collection of 1-spheres in P such that any three points in P determine exactly one of these 1-spheres (the ‘circles’ of the spherical circle plane). A determination of the homeomorphism type of the circle space (the collection of 1-spheres suitably topologised) of a topological 2-dimensional Möbius plane, which is a spherical circle plane with the additional property of the axiom of touching, was given by Karl Strambach in 1974. Embeddable spherical circle planes are a type of spherical circle plane that are not, in general, Möbius planes, constructed on a 2-sphere P in ℝ3 by taking the circles to be precisely the non-trivial plane intersections in ℝ3 with P. We show that the circle space of an embeddable spherical circle plane is homeomorphic to the 3-dimensional projective space minus one point. Furthermore, it is shown that the flag space of an embeddable spherical circle plane is homeomorphic to the flag space of the classical flat Möbius plane; a topological description of the latter is also given. An apparent gap is the literature is also filled: we prove the well-known conjecture that the flag space of a general spherical circle plane is a 4-dimensional manifold. Finally, we define the notion of isotopy equivalence between spherical circle planes and prove that embeddable spherical circle planes are isotopy equivalent to the classical flat Möbius plane.

Abstract:

The purpose of this thesis is to gain insight into educators’ views and work with circle time in preschool. To find out, I have referred to the following questions: How is your circle time performed in preschool? What objectives have teachers with the circle time? What impact has your circle time for the children in preschool?

I have chosen to carry out qualitative interviews with three preschool teachers. After the interviews, I compared the educators’ response to previous research.

The survey shows that the circle time is one of the day´s highlights for preschool children. It also shows that the most important thing with circle time is to create community, security in the group, and a fun time together. The educators also believe that circle time is an important part in the children's learning process, especially when it comes to social learning. In my study, I can see that the content in the circle time has not changed much during the preschool development; the circle time consists mostly of roll call, rhyme, rhymes and songs.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the presence of community in Blackfoot Justice Circles through ethnographic, qualitative methods. Five Blackfoot Justice Circles, observed in 1996-1997, and an Innu Healing Justice Circle, are compared in structure, roles and content. The Innu circle data is found as a report and recorded as an appendix to R. v. Sellon (1996). Seven in depth interview held with circle leaders and prominant circle participants generated data used to describe and define current perceptions of traditional concepts among circle leaders on a Blackfoot reserve. Theoretically the work arrives at a principle of justice according to a concept of authentic morality expressed through problem-solving and care. The principle is collectively based on the ideas and works of Menno Boldt, Herman Bianchi, Elliot Studt, John McKnight, Carol Lepannen Montgomery, John Braithwaite, Howard Zehr, and Ruth Morris as well as peacemaking concepts. The study explores transformative justice, as differentiated from restorative and retributive justice.

Knight, Barbara. "Squaring Paul Tillich's ecclesiological circle." Thesis, University of Chichester, 2009. http://eprints.chi.ac.uk/817/.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis presents the hypothesis that the systematic theology of Paul Tillich (1886-1965) offers significant new benefits towards church unity. The methodology used in pursuit of this aim, is a critical analysis of Tillich's early and late thought. Tillich' s work was influenced by the German philosophical and theological schools and came to expression in American academia in his publication Systematic Theology. The results of this analysis reveal Tillich's consistent commitment to the concept of Gestalt. This finding has been broadened to include the concept that the strength of ecclesial unity is dependent upon the understanding that every ecclesial denomination is an effective element in the constituency of the whole Church. This argument is supported by a deconstruction of Tillich' s system that is keyed into the hermeneutical theories of Gadamer and Derrida. The system is then reconstructed in terms of a new Gestalt that turns on the hypothesis that there is a relationship of synthesis between philosophy and theology within the Tillichian system, rather than the complementary relationship that Tillich claims. This conclusion is based upon the system being perceived as being founded upon the Western classical philosophical and theological traditions. A critique of Tillich's incorporation of modern existential hermeneutics into this system is made principally in relation to the existentialist thought of Kierkegaard, Heidegger and Sartre. A hermeneutic of Tillich' s existential critique serves to highlight the questions that result from existential disruption rather than to label him as an existentialist per se. The system is thus moved forward into the post-modern context under new hermeneutics. An analysis of Tillich's ecclesiology reveals that this is both eschatological and Trinitarian in nature. The relationship between Tillich's system and ecclesiology is brought into dialogue by means of their being expressed in terms of an ecclesiological circle. These hermeneutics are compared and contrasted with the ecclesiologies of Zizioulas and Haight and the published ecumenical documents of The World Council of Churches in order to reveal their commonalties. When the system has thus been applied to the current ecumenical dialogue, then it becomes apparent that the raison d'etre of Tillich's system is the Church and the raison d'etre of the Church is the system. The squaring of Paul Tillich's ecclesiological circle is thus made complete.

Abstract:
MOTIVATION In Richmond, there are 1.21 times as many African Americans as any other ethnic group. Yet 63.4% of African Americans live in poverty (Richmond, VA). African Americans face greater exposure to stress due to low socioeconomic status and poverty. In these communities, “discrimination and deprivation undermine individuals’ ability to accumulate the social and material resources to mitigate the effects of stress” (Brondolo, 2018). In this city’s African American community, where stress levels are high and consequential health concerns are prevalent, dance can be a remedy for managing stress and improving health (Hanna, 2006). DESIGN PROBLEM How can an intentionally designed interior environment support dance as a remedy for stress and its negative health effects? How can the design of this environment celebrate the culture of the African American community? METHODS Literature reviews on the relationship between space and dance will help inform design decisions. Studies of programmatic precedents will focus on spaces involving dance, healing, community engagement and cultural specificity. Studies of conceptual precedents that involve movement, rhythm and the body will take place. Rudolf Laban’s notation system for studying movement in dance will be utilized to analyze the movements required of African dance, resulting in a more targeted design approach. A dancer with a background in African dance will serve as a research advisor. Interviews of African American dancers will be conducted to gain insight into the practice of dance and the needs of a dance space. PRELIMINARY RESULTS Research shows that dance reduces stress levels. Specifically, African dance, significantly decreases perceived stress and repeated practice can lead to overall stress reduction (West, J. et al). African dance’s main purpose is to serve as an expression of the physical and psychological states of individuals, allowing for emotional release.(Welsh-Asante, 1996). Dance can be used to cope with stress by discharging repressed aggression, improving self-esteem and allowing for self expression . Dance also prevents stress through physical exercise (Hanna, 2006). Additionally, research from Steven Holl, Santiago Calatrava and other architectural masters discuss the relationships between dance and architecture. CONCLUSION The research will inform the design of a cultural dance center for the city’s historically African American neighborhood. The interior design of this center will support African dance and culture, foster creativity, and encourage stress reduction. The design will also support the secondary programs of dance movement therapy, seminars, celebrations, community outreach, educational programs, and exhibitions.

Abstract:
Abstract : The field of literature taken as a sociological phenomenon has enlightened and deepened our knowledge and appreciation of several national literatures, and the works of Pierre Bourdieu and Georg Simmel in this field are now considered ground-breaking. In Québec, the Groupe de recherche sur l’édition littéraire au Québec (now operating under the name « Groupe de recherche sur l’étude du livre au Québec ») has been particularly active in studying the sociological conditions that make literature possible in this Canadian province. Parallel to this, the Équipe de recherche interuniversitaire en littérature anglo-québécoise (ÉRILAQ) has gathered researchers interested in the “contact zone,” to borrow an expression from Catherine Leclerc and Sherry Simon, that is Anglo-Quebec literature. This dissertation will combine these two interests in order to study in greater depth the discourse and works of the poets of the Jubilate Circle, a network of poets writing in English in Québec at the turn of the twenty-first century. It will not only seek to prove the existence of a literary circle, it will attempt to showcase how the circle itself has contributed to advancing its members’ literary careers. In keeping with Pierre Bourdieu’s theories of cultural, symbolic and social capital, this dissertation will present, from the outset, a prosopographical sketch of the four poets that make up the Jubilate Circle, and examine the conditions in which they met, bonded as a group (of friends and of colleagues) and came to found the Jubilate Circle. Following this, the instances in which capital of all kinds (symbolic, cultural and social) were exchanged by the four poets will be examined through a close reading of correspondence, dedications, book jacket blurbs and even of the poetry itself. In an attempt to identify the homogeneous in the cacophony of discourse, to paraphrase Marc Angenot, the Jubilate Poets’ discourse on Canadian poetry, enunciated in interviews, essays, book reviews and in the press will then be examined. This will provide a better understanding of the position they hold, or wish to hold, within the field of Canadian poetry and indeed within its canon, existing or future. Finally, an analysis of the poetry they have produced will serve to underscore those aspects of their discourse that are deemed particularly relevant and will highlight areas in which some contradictions may be observed. As a whole, this dissertation will shed some light on the production of poetry, of its criticism and of its publication not only as a literary phenomenon, but also as a profoundly social one. // Résumé : L’étude du champ littéraire en tant que phénomène social a su éclairer et approfondir notre appréciation de plusieurs littératures nationales, et les travaux de Pierre Bourdieu et de Georg Simmel à cet égard sont aujourd’hui considérés fondateurs. Au Québec, le Groupe de recherche sur l’édition littéraire au Québec (aujourd’hui connu sous le nom « Groupe de recherche sur l’étude du livre au Québec ») a jeté les assises dans l’étude des conditions sociologiques qui rendent le phénomène littéraire possible dans cette province canadienne. Parallèlement, l’Équipe de recherche interuniversitaire en littérature anglo-québécoise (ÉRILAQ) réunit des chercheurs qui s’intéressent à cette “zone de contacte”, pour reprendre l’expression de Catherine Leclerc et de Sherry Simon, qu’est la littérature anglo-québécoise. Cette thèse combinera effectivement ces deux champs de recherche afin d’étudier de manière plus approfondie le discours et les œuvres des poètes du “Jubilate Circle”, un réseau de poètes publiant en anglais au Québec au tournant du vingt-et-unième siècle. Elle cherchera non seulement à prouver l’existence d’un cercle littéraire, mais tentera également de démontrer par quels moyens ce même cercle a pu contribuer à l’avancement des carrières littéraires de ses membres. Suivant les théories sur le capital culturel, symbolique et social énoncées par Pierre Bourdieu, cette thèse brossera, dans un premier temps, le profil prosopographique de chacun des acteurs du Jubilate Circle et se penchera sur les conditions qui ont favorisé leur rencontre, le bourgeonnement d’une amitié et d’une collaboration littéraire à long terme et la création du cercle littéraire. En second lieu, les instances dans lesquelles des échanges de capital ont lieu seront scrutées grâce à une lecture détaillée de la correspondance, des dédicaces, des textes de quatrième de couverture et même de la poésie elle-même. Dans le but de faire ressortir l’homogène que recèle la cacophonie du discours, pour paraphraser Marc Angenot, le discours tenu par les poètes du Jubilate Circle au sujet de la poésie canadienne contemporaine, énoncé lors d’entretiens, dans des essais littéraires, des comptes rendus et dans les quotidiens de ce pays sera examiné. Une telle étude permettra de faire la lumière sur leur posture et sur la position qu’ils occupent, ou souhaitent occuper, dans le champ de la poésie canadienne, voire dans son canon littéraire, présent ou futur. Enfin, une analyse de la poésie produite par ces quatre poètes sera l’occasion de souligner et d’illustrer certains aspects particulièrement significatifs de leur discours et révélera quelques instances dans lesquelles certaines contradictions peuvent être observées. Dans son ensemble, cette thèse vise à jeter un nouvel éclairage sur la production d’une poésie, de sa critique et de ses instances de publication non seulement en tant que phénomène littéraire, mais bien en tant que phénomène profondément social.

Abstract:
Magnetic nanoparticles have great potential in the biomedical and diagnostics field. Due to their small size, the particles have a high surface-to-volume ratio which enables for biofunctionalisation with different molecular probes. This makes itpossible to target them against a wide variety of biomarkers. In this project, the aim was to develop a magnetic nanoparticle-based DNA detection method with respectto sensitivity by employing circle-to-circle amplification, which is an extension of rolling circle amplification, in order to increase the assay sensitivity. The method provides high specificity due to the use of padlock probes for amplification. The project included testing and optimising the protocol used for DNA amplification and detection with a synthetic target, which involved testing different padlock probes, incubation times and incubation temperatures. Lastly, the method was tested on a biological target. It has recently been shown that specific aggregation occurs between magnetic nanoparticles and DNA, which enables for a visual readout strategy sincethe aggregates are visible to the naked eye. Initial testing of the method yielded asensitivity of about 100 attomoles. The achieved sensitivity after the optimisation work was 1 attomole of both synthetic and biological DNA targets. This is an improvement compared to the 400 attomoles that has previously been reported with one round of rolling circle amplification. The results can be used in further development of the naked-eye DNA detection method towards the realisation of a commercially attractive bioanalytical device.

Abstract:
In this thesis we investigate a new and highly geometric approach to studying finite subset spaces of the circle. By considering the circle as the boundary of the hyperbolic plane, we are able to use the full force of hyperbolic geometry—in particular, its well-understood group of isometries—to determine explicitely the structure of the first few configuration spaces of the circle S¹. Once these are understood we then move onto studying their union—that is, exp₃(S¹,)—and in particular, we re-prove both an old theorem of Bott and a newer (unpublished) result of E . Щепин (E. Shchepin) about this space.

Abstract:
Quality circles are a form of group activity designed to impact on attitudes to work and to improve company performance. This study notes the introduction and rise in importance of this phenomenon in UK industry and sets out to examine the concept in operation. The quality circle is defined and explored and its aims and objectives are examined. The literature on quality circles is reviewed and is found to comprise mainly anecdotal articles written for management journals, although the amount of rigorous research is growing. Its place in wider management theory is then considered, focussing on a number of key areas which the quality circle can be said to span. The second part of the thesis describes the case study of quality circles in action at an electronics firm, which was the backbone of the three year research programme. A number of hypotheses were developed and they are discussed in turn. A research methodology was subsequently devised to throw light on the most significant of these hypotheses, using three main techniques - attitude survey, interview and group process observation. The resultant data is described and presented in tables to be found in the appendices. Conclusions are drawn about the quality circle programme under scrutiny. It was not thought prudent to generalise too far, but a number of less specific conclusions are expressed, together with suggestions for further work in the field which would generate useful results.

This thesis will focus on the transitional influences that have led me to start the second circle of my professional life. It is an open and honest exploration of the back-story of my life and the academic and professional influences that led me to seek a Master of Fine Arts Degree at Virginia Commonwealth University. With no parallels and therefore no excuses insinuated, I will be open and dissect more of myself as the whole focus of the thesis in hopes of offering clarity to myself and other mature and disabled students seeking to become a better teacher and artist.

Abstract:
In a common description, to play a game is to step inside a concrete or metaphorical magic circle where special rules apply. In video game studies, this description has received an inordinate amount of criticism which the paper argues has two primary sources: 1. a misreading of the basic concept of the magic circle and 2. a somewhat rushed application of traditional theoretical concerns onto games. The paper argues that games studies must move beyond conventional criticisms of binary distinctions and rather look at the details of how games are played. Finally, the paper proposes an alternative metaphor for game-playing, the puzzle piece.

Abstract:

As noted by research journalists, ‘t Hart, Stern & Sundelius (1997), foreign policy decisions “…are shaped in relatively small groups and informal face-to-face interaction” (p 4). This study explores the influence of small groups on the effectiveness of decision-making techniques and examines how to counter the new forms of groupthink such as an inner-circle of influence.

This project utilizes an experimental design study to test the relative efficiency of two decision-making models in a pre-scripted scenario in countering this new inner-circle form of groupthink. Using a cross-over research design, participants responded to each scenario with random assignment into one of two decision-making models: the Delphi model and an iterative feedback technique referred to in this paper as the Continuous Group Problem Solving (CGPS) model. After completing two decision-making scenarios, participants identified the most effective decision-making model overall and potential for this method to counter dominance by an inner-circle of influence.

The results from this study are significant since the findings reconceptualize the term groupthink as a simpler term implying inner-circle influence that preempts thorough decision-making. The findings also provide insight for future application in countering the deleterious control of an “inner-circle.” These exploratory research results are ripe for replication in large corporate or Government organizations, The desire to have a voice in the decision process and to overcome inner-circle influence will be of value to those conducting future research.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis, we study symplectic manifolds satisfying certain co-homological conditions, in the presence of a Hamiltonian group action. In the case of 6-dimensional symplectic manifolds, the assumption of a Hamiltonian circle action allows us to use tools of 4-dimensional symplectic geometry, such as Seiberg-Witten theory, to prove restric-tions on their geometry and topology. The connection occurs primarily through symplectic reduction, and additionally when one considers col-lections of 4-dimensional symplectic submanifolds (i.e. fixed submani-folds, isotropy submanifolds or the symplectic fibre). The cohomological conditions of prime interest to us are the sym-plectic Fano condition and its relative version. The symplectic Fano condition is analogous to the Fano condition from algebraic geometry. In particular, symplectic manifolds satisfying this condition contain the class of smooth Fano varieties over the complex numbers. It is an open question to determine the extent to which these manifolds sat-isfy the boundedness of their algebraic counterparts in real dimensions 6 ≤ 2n ≤ 10. In this thesis, we give some positive progress towards a conjecture of Fine and Panov regarding the 6-dimensional case (see Conjecture 1.2). In particular, we prove that a symplectic Fano 6-manifold with a Hamiltonian circle action is simply connected and satisfies c1c2 = 24 (this result appeared in a joint work of the author and Panov [41]). In addition, we are able to show that there is at most one fixed surface of positive genus in such 6-manifolds, thus allowing us to bound the third Betti number in certain cases. Finally, we are able to show that these manifolds are symplectically birational to CP3, using the method of symplectic cuts.

Abstract:
Death is a profoundly solitary moment in which one faces the meaning of one's existence. Death is an emotional, spiritual, psychological and physical act. For the terminally ill, the hospice is a viable alternative to dying in a hospital. The Hospice can accommodate death being faced intimately amidst loves ones. This emerging institution places new and unique demands upon architecture. Solitude and fellowship have significant implications for triumph by simply dying well. A building's meaning comes from its making, culture, syntax, and from the immutable qualities of humans. Meaning is discovered, not applied. Structuralist architects search for the order within various phenomena. Anthropological Structuralism involves the discovery of the underlying structures found within and between cultures and the human mind. Myths of different cultures address similar underlying questions even if they generate different answers. Linguistic Structuralism studies the role of language and the individual expression of language. Topology, the science of place, is the study of relation and invariance. Structuralism proposes a signification of place and occasion. Particular articulations occur while the capacity to be interpreted is retained. In-betweens are tangible elements that make sense. Moments within the architecture relate to each other as a series of places. In this thesis a hospice and a chapel are designed. Massive walls are carved out to form rooms, subtractive in nature. Series of walls are placed together, additive in nature, to form rooms. Geometric forms are studied for their qualities and are placed according to forged relationships.
