Abstract:
Green Ideas is a work of approximately sixty minutes duration scored for two violins, viola, cello, double bass, electric guitar, piano, and drum kit. It presents musical portraits of some of the vocalizations made by infants in their first two years. Phonetic, prosaic, inflective, tonal, semantic, and interactional elements of early communication are abstracted and used for musical inspiration. The work employs varied degrees of composition and improvisation in its six sections, with each section focusing on a single component of early language emergence.

Abstract:
Special Ideas is a composite of practical strategies and techniques assembled for the primary-grade teacher’s use with the learning disabled student, slow learner and underachiever. The focal point of this material is the basic skills of reading, math, spelling, handwriting and general ideas on classroom management, behavior management and motivation. The purpose of the material is to provide the classroom teacher with practical ideas that may serve as a guide to help the teacher adapt and/or modify the curriculum, the materials, and the methods of instruction to the needs of the special child. The sources for these ideas include personal experiences, a variety of periodicals and other educational materials. Many of the ideas are written to help the child who learns best by using a specific mode such as visibility, auditorially or by tactile-kinesthetic methods.

Abstract:
It has been claimed that there was a clear correlation between the fall of the Soviet Unionin 1991 and the exponential growth and democratization of information technology in thelater decades of the 20th century. The last head of state of the Soviet Union, MikhailGorbachev, admitted in 2005 that emerging decentralized electronic communication was“a big factor” for fostering democracy in the Soviet Union.1For my generation, born in the late 1980’s, computers and the Internet are used on a dayto-day basis and provide possibilities that, for the most part, lead to less dramaticconsequences. On the other hand, I believe that these information technologiesnevertheless force us to constantly reevaluate norms about the relationships betweenconsumer and business companies and private and public life.My practice is founded in an examination of questions about media, popular culture,consumers and real events; more specifically how communication and trading systemsbetween these “territories” are organized and what effects it has on culture. I will in thischapter give a description of recent developments in information technologies. Althoughbrief and simplified, it serves to illustrate how they help to determine the ways in whichwe consume culture.It may be impossible to summarize “post-Cold War culture” but one definingcharacteristic is the decreasing distance between the professional and the amateur.Today’s hackers and bedroom programmers may turn into tomorrow’s billionaireentrepreneurs, as a result of the information age. In this fairly new situation, culturalconsumption, production and exchange of media often occurs in front of screens.As the view of the consumer and the audience as passive entities becomes more nuanced,so too does old notions about visual communication and interaction. A 21st centurycitizen is equipped with different - some say significantly better - tools for reading,decoding and reacting to media than a person living in the early 1900’s.2The dreams of a totally transparent Internet/society, born in the minds of cyber pioneersin the 1980’s, have not yet crystallized. Neither have we seen a true, global “creativeclass” come to fruition.2 Despite this, one could sense that today’s consumers are to alarge extent a cross between consumers and producers, givers and takers. Americanmedia scholar and professor at University of Southern California, Henry Jenkins, writesabout this cultural and technological shift:Rather than talking about media producers and consumers as occupying separateroles, we might now see them as participants who interact with each otheraccording to a new set of rules that none of us fully understands. Not allparticipants are created equal. Corporations – and even individuals withincorporate media – still exert greater power than any individual consumer or eventhe aggregate of consumers. And some consumers have greater abilities toparticipate in this emerging culture than others.3If there is any truth to this description, one must ask what the implications are for asociety that is partially governed by a new set of puzzling rules. It is not always simple tomap out a definitive answer of who will succeed in being heard and seen. As Jenkinswrites, a power struggle still exists. Questions that are linked to these matters are part ofthe framework of my artistic practice.

Abstract:
Das Buch argumentiert, dass Descartes seine Metaphysik von Körpern durch ein zweistufiges Argument begründet hat: Ersteres (letztendlich auf der Theorie der Ideen beruhend) soll beweisen, dass Körper erweiterte Substanzen sind; Letzteres (das die gesamte Naturphilosophie von Descartes nutzt) sollte beweisen, dass Körper nichts anderes als erweiterte Substanzen sind. Das Buch zeigt, dass es für Descartes keine Argumente aus der „ersten Philosophie“ gibt, die beweisen könnten, dass Körper nichts als erweiterte Substanzen sind. Es zeigt, dass Descartes’ Argument, alle „realen Qualitäten“ und „wesentlichen Formen“ der Scholastiker zu eliminieren, letztendlich ein Argument für die beste Erklärung ist, die auf ontologischer Sparsamkeit beruht. Mit anderen Worten, ein Rasiermesser. Insbesondere war es die Visionstheorie, den Paradigmenfall für Descartes’ Ontologie materieller Substanzen zu liefern. Die Arbeit kam zu dem Schluss, dass – entgegen der Behauptung praktisch aller kartesischen Gelehrten – die These, dass Körper nichts als erweiterte Dinge sind, nicht der Ausgangspunkt von Descartes’ Physik ist, sondern ihre Krönung.
The work argues that Descartes established his metaphysics of bodies by means of a two-step argument: the former (ultimately grounded on the theory of ideas) being intended to prove that bodies are extended substances; the latter (which takes advantage of Descartes’ entire natural philosophy) aimed at proving that bodies are nothing but extended substances. It shows that for Descartes there are no arguments from ‘first philosophy’ that could prove that bodies are nothing but extended substances. The work shows that Descartes’ argument to eliminate all “real qualities” and “substantial forms” of the Scholastics is ultimately an argument to the best explanation driven by ontological parsimony. In other words, a razor. More in particular, it was the theory of vision to provide the paradigm case for Descartes’ ontology of material substances. The work concluded that, contrary to what claimed by virtually all Cartesian scholars, the thesis that bodies are nothing but extended things is not therefore the starting point of Descartes’ physics, but its crowning achievement.

Abstract:
La innovació oberta pretén que les organitzacions siguin més competitives mitjançant la gestió dels recursos de les entrades i sortides de la organització. Aquestes organitzacions utilitzen discussions participatives com un mecanisme per estimular idees innovadores. No obstant això, els resultats de la major part d'aquestes discussions participatives no són tan innovadores com s'espera. Alguns acadèmics tracten d'abordar aquest problema, centrant-se principalment en la identificació d'incentius adequats per fomentar les idees, però no han prestat atenció a les característiques estructurals de la discussió participativa. Aquesta tesi es basa en teories sobre la gestió i la creativitat per tal de desenvolupar un nou marc sobre l'efecte que provoca la diversitat en la innovació de les discussions participatives. El marc proposat és validat utilitzant dades obtingudes en múltiples discussions participatives. D'altra banda, una nova metodologia es proposada per tal de evaluar el grau de consens quan es mesura la innovació de les idees, el qual està adaptat a la naturalesa difusa d'idees innovadores. En suma, les tres preguntes d'investigació abordades en aquesta tesi són: 1) Com la diversitat de la discussió participativa afecta a la capacitat d'innovació? 2) Com les característiques estructurals de la discussió participativa afecten la capacitat d'innovació? 3) Com es pot mesurar el consens a la hora de valorar la capacitat d'innovació de les idees, tenint en compte els diferents graus d'experiència dels qui prenen les decisions?. Els resultats indiquen que els antecedents de la innovació son: 1) Quan hi ha menys diversitat de l'individu abans de la idea, 2) Quan hi ha més diversitat del individu en la idea actual i 3) Si es la primera vegada que es presenta una idea.

Open innovation seeks to make organizations more competitive by managing the inflows and outflows of their organization. These organizations use crowdsourced discussions as a mechanism to encourage innovative ideas. However, the results of most of these crowdsourced discussions are not as innovative as expected. Some scholars seek to address this problem by mainly focusing on identifying appropriate incentives to encourage ideas, but they have not paid attention to how the structural characteristics of the crowdsourced discussion generate innovative ideas. This thesis draws from theories on management and creativity to develop a new framework about the effect of knowledge diversity on innovation in crowdsourced discussions. The proposed framework is validated using data obtained from multiple crowdsourced discussions. Moreover, a new methodology is presented for assessing the innovativeness of the ideas generated during crowdsourced discussions that is suited to the fuzzy nature of novel ideas. In sum, the three research questions addressed in this thesis are: 1) how does the diversity of the crowdsourced discussion affect innovativeness? 2) how do the characteristics of the crowdsourced discussion affect innovativeness? 3) how can the innovativeness of ideas be rated in crowdsourced discussion to take into consideration the different degrees of expertise from the decision-makers? The results indicate that less prior individual diversity, more current individual diversity, collaboration among participants, and first time posters foster innovation in crowdsourced discussion.

Abstract:
The history of architecture in Western countries and Lithuania is researched from various points of view. Such significant elements of architecture as light, color, sound, and water so far have been studied as far as their relation to the architecture of certain specific historical periods is concerned. However, up till now research of this kind was limited to deep, yet narrow, fragmented and specialized views of certain historical periods, or research projects were concerned with certain specific aspects of connections between works of architecture and metaphysical beliefs. Because of this, research of architectural history still lacks a thorough account of how metaphysical, religious, and philosophical worldviews affected the artistic expression of architecture of different periods. Without a sufficient amount of research of this kind, it is impossible to reconstruct a thoroughly consistent and more or less total view of the historical development of architecture. On the other hand, it strikes one as obvious that while the history and theory of architecture is being studied in Lithuania, we witness a lack of research work on the concepts of light, color, sound, and water that dominated during certain historic periods. Their impact upon the development of architecture needs to be analyzed and evaluated synthetically in a way that is consistent with a generalized approach, and with the help of research methods applied in the history of ideas and principles of analysis...

Tačiau iki šiol tokio pobūdžio tyrimai apsiribodavo siaurais, fragmentiškais, griežtai specializuotais žvilgsniais į atskirų kultūros istorijos tarpsnių architektūrą arba tokio buvo pabrėžiami tik tam tikri, labai specifiniai sąveikos tarp architektūros kūrinių ir to meto pasaulėžiūros aspektai.

Includes bibliographical references (p. 28-30).
The aim of this paper is to perform a review of Biomimicry as a science today in environmental, engineering, and manufacturing fields, as well as to educate readers on the history of Biomimicry as a whole and how it is studied. As more evidence surfaces about the effect of our presence on the Earth, the scientific community is faced with the challenge of solving these problems. After introducing these concepts, an in-depth review of two of the most studied topics in biomimicry is conducted: how the lotus remains clean in a dirty swamp and how the gecko can stick to any surface. These two topics are taken from the classical beliefs on how they work and leads them through into today's world, focusing on how the mechanisms behind them were discovered. Both sections end with a review of current applications of the technologies that have been developed by studying these living organisms. Everything is wrapped up with a discussion of why we must continue to study biomimicry and apply its principles to our engineering and production practices.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis investigates ideas in science. Ideas are explored as an analytical category and examined as an indigenous concept to scientists. This study identifies ideas in science as thoughts or plans, and seeks to understand the main characteristics of ideas as well as explore what factors affect the extent to which they can develop in a laboratory environment. This ethnographic study is based on fifteen months of participant observation in biomedicine laboratories at one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the world. The resulting data is evaluated using Actor-Network Theory (ANT) in order to demonstrate how ideas are dynamic and best thought of as networks that are acted upon by scientists’ beliefs (Chapter 5), experimentation (Chapter 6), discussions (Chapter 7) and the institutional settings within which science takes place (Chapter 8). This thesis argues that understanding what ideas in science are, and what factors shape and influence them, is a vital part of recognising and appreciating what it means for scientists to ‘do’ science. This study demonstrates the dynamism of ideas in science by explaining how: scientists’ use of the word ‘belief’ acts on how ideas develop; experimentation justifies idea developments and scientists’ discussions facilitate the sharing and connection of ideas. Chapter 8 places the dynamic ways that ideas develop (explained in Chapters 5, 6 and 7) within what is shown to be a stifling institutional context that values ideas as static objects (for example, as delivered and communicated in publications or funding proposals). This friction, it is argued, forces ideas to become institutionally ‘frozen’ and incentivises incremental shifts in thinking.

Abstract:
El proyecto de innovación educativa “Organizando mis ideas usando las TIC” surge por la necesidad de emprender una renovación en los modos tradicionales de enseñanza de los docentes de la I.E. “Gustavo Mohme Llona” del distrito de Puente Piedra basados en la memorización y el protagonismo verbal hacia la aplicación de estrategias innovadoras que incorporen las TIC en su planificación curricular en el área de Historia, Geografia y Economia, con docentes con un alto nivel de conocimientos en la jerarquización de ideas con el fin de que los estudiantes presenten un alto nivel de desempeño empleando las TIC que les permitan interpretar critcicamente las diversas fuentes históricas. Para su elaboración, se han revisado los aportes de los teóricos constructivistas como Asubel, Piaget, Brunner, Vygotsky; y para entender las características de la población adolescente y su desarrollo cognoscitivo la literatura correspondiente a Papalia; así como los aportes de Ontoria y Nowak y Gowin en el caso de los mapas conceptuales. Del mismo modo, se ha partido del diagnóstico a través de las técnicas del FODA y el árbol de problemas en el cual se identifican las causas y efectos para finalmente buscar la solución contraria o situación positiva de lo analizado antes a través del árbol de objetivos. Igualmente, el proyecto se desarrolla en un contexto de nivel socioeconómico bajo, con un 10% de estudiantes que trabajan, con el 5% de padres analfabetos, y con 50% de docentes que muestran dificultades en la aplicación de estrategias innovadoras en el También, como resultado del presente proyecto se pretende que, el 80% de los docentes del segundo grado de secundaria de la IE “Gustavo Mohme Llona” utilicen de manera eficiente estrategias de jerarquización de ideas para interpretar fuentes históricas; utilicen software que permitan la jerarquización de ideas como punto de partida para la interpretación de fuentes históricas.y un 75% incorporen estrategias que promuevan la interpretación de fuentes históricas en la planificación de sus unidades didácticas y sesiones de aprendizaje. Finalmente, podemos concluir que el presente trabajo académico va a contribuir a que los estudiantes del segundo grado de secundaria logren mejores desempeños en la jerarquización de ideas a través del uso de los mapas conceptuales empleando las TIC que les permitan interpretar criticamente fuentes históricas y mejorar sus aprendizajes en el área de Historia, Geografía y Economía.

Bauer, Kaarina-Nancy. "Heinrich Wolfflin's ideas and historiographical discourse." Thesis, Open University, 2009. http://oro.open.ac.uk/54490/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis on Heinrich Wolfflin (1864-1945) is a problematisation and, essentially, a revision of the interpretation of his personal discourse: the theories, themes and implications of three of his texts. This re-evaluation is a historiographical analysis in connection with the unpublished material in the Wolfflin archives, which establishes Wolfflin's concern for the subject in terms of an anthropological Kulturgeschichte. The subjectdriven terminology of the texts indicates an aesthetics of perception and reception. Wolfflin's thinking is analysed with regards to his methodological practices (formal analysis and comparison of two images) and academic scholarship (focusing mostly on Renaissance and Baroque studies). His texts are an exemplification and evidence for the theoretical conception of the historical categories (in a philosophical and epistemological sense) of bodiliness (Karperlichkeit, Karperhaftigkeit) and visuality (Sichtbarkeit, Anschauung) within the cultural transition between the fields of historicism and modernity/modernism. Through the impact of photographic reproductions he demarcated an analytical typology of architectural form and spatial effects, and of modes of depiction (of artists, sculptors or arqhitects) and categories of beholding (of the viewer), with emphasis on the underlying and ontological connection between each of the two domains, that is, bodiliness in the Prolegomena and Renaissance and Baroque, and visuality in the Principles of Art History. The fundamental and problematic interweaving of issues of theory and history characterises Wolfflin's theories throughout his life and in this his discourse is symptomatic for the emergent discipline of art history. The construction of the Wolfflinian field is set up in relation to the conditions of the intellectual context of the discipline, as extrapolation of aesthetics, philosophy, psychology, epistemology, systemisation, Wissenschaftlichkeit and history-writing. The identification and unfolding of multiple intentions, ambiguities and problems are crucial aspects of this interpretation of Wolfflin's theory of art history in theoretical and practical terms.

Abstract:
Objective: The Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) is a reliable and valid semi-structured interview, which measures the specific psychopathology of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. This study aims to investigate the psychometric properties of the child adaptation of version 12.0D of the EDE (ChEDE 12.0). Method: The ChEDE 12.0 was administered to 15 children with anorexia nervosa (AN), 15 children with other clinical eating disturbances and two groups of 15 age-matched controls. The groups were compared using a two sample matched groups design. Results: Alpha coefficients for each of the ChEDE 12.0 subscales indicated a high degree of internal consistency, and inter-rater reliability was found to be high (r=0.91 to r=1.00). The subscale scores of the AN group were significantly higher than those of the other groups, whilst the other eating disturbance group did not differ from its control group. Discussion: The ChEDE 12.0 differentiates children with AN from children with other forms of clinical eating disturbance and control children. The hypothesis that children with early onset anorexia nervosa would not evidence significant weight and shape concern is refuted

Abstract:
Students in a summer work experience in university science and engineering laboratories were interviewed before, and near the end, of their three week placement to find their ideas about scientists and their work. The study indicates that the friendliness of the people was a significant feature of the scientist's setting for all the students. Although all but one of the seven boys mentioned elements of the task or working with equipment first when discussing significant features of the experience, they all commented on the friendliness of the people. However, for all five girls and one of the boys, the friendliness of the people was the most significant feature of the experience and little was said about the task or working with equipment. Before the placement the students were unsure of the friendliness of the scientists, and anticipated that scientists had serious and grave dispositions. Many thought the atmosphere of the laboratory would be formal, while others held a variety of ideas about the laboratory's formality. Scientists' work was thought to be demanding, requiring dedicated, hardworking, single-minded, serious persons who worked abnormal hours. Following the placement, the students were relieved to find that 'scientists were friendly'. In addition they found that the people in a scientist's setting were informal, that they were 'not serious' and were often 'joking around'. The students' initial idea that a scientist's work is demanding was confirmed. Following the placement the students thought that scientists needed to be dedicated and serious about their work, but like other professionals, scientists sometimes needed to work 'abnormal hours'. While scientists did concentrate on the job, they were not 'thinking day and night only about their work'. However, the students thought that becoming a scientist took more effort than other similar careers. There was no significant change in career choices as result of the experience. Based on the results of this study it is recommended that in order to improve students' views of science, teachers and others should emphasize that scientists are friendly, informal, intelligent, normal people, and that there are a range of work roles in science requiring various levels of education, effort and commitment.

Abstract:
The research subject comprises the structuralistic ideas that found the meaning in contemporary architectural design and realized projects of Lithuania. The research subject provides more comprehensive disclosure of artistic results in architecture and identifies their place within the context of different scientific and artistic disciplines, as well as contemporary architecture on the whole. The main objective of the research is to establish basic artistic principles and conceptions of structuralistic architecture in Lithuania, their geographic and interdisciplinary links, genesis and forms of expression. To this end, the following tasks have been raised: to establish philosophical-ideological background of structuralistic architecture and its links to the social being in the second half of the 20th century Lithuania; analyze the geographical and interdisciplinary context of structuralistic ideas; explore the social-cultural formants of artistic principles in Lithuanian architecture of the 1960-ies–80-ies; prepare theoretical pattern for valuation of structuralistic ideas in Lithuanian architecture; identify the most significant pieces of structuralistic architecture in Lithuania and their influence on general architecture development in the country. In making the research, the following results innovative on the field of architectural science have been obtained: significant phenomenon in Lithuanian architecture, although poorly analyzed before – Structuralism – has been...

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
A dissertação propõe questões sobre uma conduta determinada de narrador literário - um narrador que relate somente o que se pode ver e ouvir -, apresentando uma produção própria de ficção feita dentro desta forma e tecendo considerações a partir desta produção. Dessa forma, ela se constitui de três contos e ensaios em torno de questões desta produção. Pretende-se assim falar, por conseqüência, da própria criação literária, de seus caminhos e suas bordas, a partir de leituras de textos conhecidos sobre a própria escrita, como os de Edgar Allan Poe, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco e Ricardo Piglia.
This dissertation raises questions concerning a certain form of literary narrative - that of a narrator who reports only what can be seen and heard -, presenting the author s own literary work of this form and making considerations about it. The dissertation consists of three short stories and essays raising questions over these fictional texts. The intention is to discuss literary creation itself, its paths and borders, taking as starting point readings of well-known texts on writing itself by Edgar Allan Poe, Alain Robbe-Grillet, Italo Calvino, Umberto Eco and Ricardo Piglia.

Full text
Abstract:
In an age of Revolution, when the rights of the individual were being fought for, Anna Letitia Barbauld was at the centre of the ideological debate. This thesis focuses on her political writing; it argues that she was more radical than previously thought. It provides new evidence of Barbauld’s close connection to an international network of reformers. Motivated by her Dissenting faith, her poems suggest that she made topical interventions which linked humanitarian concerns to wider abuses of power. This thesis traces Barbauld’s intellectual connections to seventeenth- and eighteenth-century religious and political thought. It examines her dialogues with the leading thinkers of her era, in particular Joseph Priestley. Setting her political writing in the context of the 1790s pamphlet wars, I argue that it is surprising that her 1792 pamphlet, Civic Sermons, escaped prosecution; its criticism of the government has similarities to the ideas of writers who were tried. My analysis of Barbauld’s political and socio-economic ideas suggests that, unlike many of her contemporaries, she trusted ordinary people, believing that they had a right to be involved in government. She argued that intellectuals should provide them with information but not tell them what to think. These democratic ideas were reflected in her literary approach; she employed different genres to reach different audiences. She critiqued and used the discourses of enthusiasm and sensibility to appeal to the emotions of her readers. I argue that, by adapting the traditionally male genre of political pamphlets, her work was part of a tradition of progressive female political thought dating back to the seventeenth century. Her innovative defence of civil liberties contributed to the development of liberalism.

Barca, Oliveira Maria Isabel. "Adolescent students' ideas about provisional historical explanation." Thesis, University College London (University of London), 1996. http://discovery.ucl.ac.uk/10021629/.

Full text
Abstract:
Adolescents' ideas about provisional historical explanation were analysed in a sample of Portuguese 12 to 20 year-old students, attending the 7th, 9th and 1 1 th grade. In the light of a theoretical framework considering three conceptual clusters - explanatory structure, explanatory consistency, and objectivity and truth - students' ideas were categorised in a model of five levels of progression, functioning as the main working hypothesis, and generated through a qualitative analysis. At Level 1 (the story), students' ideas appear mainly related to description. At Level 2 (the right explanation), there is a focus on the correct explanation, explanations are assessed in everyday terms, and the direct observation paradigm tends to be valued. At Level 3 (the more factors the better), students' concerns appear linked to an ideal of aggregation of factors, evidence is discriminated as sources to the explanation, and the "memory paradigm" tends to be valued. At Level 4, (a consensual explanation?), there is a preoccupation about a perspectiveless neutrality, valuing verification and interlinked factors (explanations may take the narrative form). An objectivist trend defends the search for a consensual explanation whilst a relativist view denies its possibility due to existing different perspectives. At Level 5 (perspective), neutrality and perspective are recognised as genuine features of historical explanation, these appearing in conflict with ideas of perspectiveless neutrality. Explanations may take the narrative mode, and an interlink of factors is valued. Explanatory assessment may appear as evidential confirmation and refutation, and reference may be made to the substantive historical context. A statistical analysis of data concerning levels of progression by sex, age and grade, and responses to some specific sub-tasks, was carried out. Differences on sex were not found statistically significant but differences on age and grade appeared significant at the 5% level.
