Full textAbstract:
L'interprétation de l'Atlantide de Proclus constitue avec la récapitulation de la République un prologue-guide au Commentaire sur le Timée. Ce commentaire représente la première étude d'importance du néoplatonicien des œuvres de Platon réalisée aux alentours de 439 après J.-C., alors qu'il était âgé de 27 ans. L'introduction du commentaire tient compte de chacune des règles d'interprétation auxquelles se soumettaient les exégètes à la fin de l'Antiquité dans leurs études des travaux de Platon et d'Aristote. Proclus applique, une première fois, ces règles d'interprétation, de manière générale, dans son prologue scientifique au Commentaire sur le Timée, et une autre fois, de manière particulière, dans son introduction rhétorique au discours symbolique de l'Atlantide. Il interprète le mythe de l'Atlantide de Platon selon la méthode analogique qui consiste à rapporter les réalités d'en bas aux réalités d'en haut. Il s'agit de la méthode des images qui procède du rapport de l'effet à la cause. Cette méthode n'est pas sans rappeler la réminiscence platonicienne laquelle vise à approcher l'unité à partir de la multiplicité. L'application de l'analogie donne le ton à la lecture symbolique du récit de l'Atlantide en ce que les parties terrestres sont ramenées aux touts célestes, par opposition à une interprétation qui emprunte le mode d'exposition à partir des images et qui tend à remonter des copies aux modèles. En conservant le même but que le Commentaire sur le Timée , Proclus interprète l'Atlantide en regard de la science de la nature. Il réalise donc son interprétation selon les thèmes de la génération et de la destruction. Il aborde le terme de principe créatif par opposition à celui de la matière, et les termes de la mémoire et de l'oubli, ainsi que les séries parallèles pythagoriciennes en tant qu'elles sont responsables de la génération dans le Tout, de même que les causes et les types de la destruction dans la génésis. Puis, les meilleurs que représentent les Athéniens et les moins bons que personnifient les Atlantes. Alors que les Athéniens demeurent sous la protection de la déesse Athéna qui symbolise l'unité, les Atlantes sont identifiés à Poséidon qui est analogue à la multiplicité. Les premiers font état de ce qui est permanent dans la génésis et les seconds de ce qui est en perpétuel changement.

Full textAbstract:
Cette étude vise à examiner la lecture du Timée de Platon par Aristote. Conformément à cet objectif, les nombreuses questions abordées dans le Timée sont reprises dans les principaux domaines d'études d'Aristote, au fur et à mesure de sa lecture : l’univers, la nature, la matière, l’âme, le mouvement. Nous avons accordé donc une large place à l’analyse de chacune de ces notions. Il s’agit de comparer le Timée tel qu’Aristote le présente et le texte de Platon, pour analyser et exposer la manière dont Aristote se rapporte à Platon dans l’élaboration de sa propre philosophie. Ces références sont parfois de l’ordre de la citation ; parfois aussi de l’ordre de la critique explicite, mais aussi implicite, quand le texte aristotélicien s’appuie sur ce que Platon a déjà exprimé sans le citer, ni le critiquer ouvertement. Selon l’idée soutenue dans cette étude, le Stagirite ne procède pas systématiquement à une lecture littérale du Timée. Lorsqu’il critique Platon, ce n’est pas toujours afin de confirmer sa propre position philosophique. Cette lecture est avant tout un travail de distinction entre les concepts essentiels tels que la matière, le lieu, etc. Ce faisant, il systématise la pensée de Platon, lequel s'appuyait sur le discours vraisemblable portant sur la genesis du cosmosThis dissertation aims to examine Aristotle’s reading of Plato's Timaeus. In accordance with this objective, many questions on universe, nature, matter, soul, movement, already addressed in the Timaeus, are re-raised in the main areas of Aristotle’s studies. We therefore devote a great deal of attention to the analysis of each of these concepts. It deals with the comparison between the Timaeus as Aristotle presents it and the text of Plato, in order to analyze and expose the way in which Aristotle relates to Plato in the development of his own philosophy. These references are sometimes in the order of citation; sometimes also of the order of explicit criticism, but also implicit, when the Aristotelian text is based on what Plato has already expressed without citing it, nor criticizing it openly. According to the idea held in this study, the Stagirite does not systematically read the Timaeus literally. When he criticizes Plato, it is not always in order to confirm his own philosophical position. We have shown that this reading is above all a work of distinction between essential concepts such as matter, place, etc. In doing so, Aristotle systematizes Plato's thought, which was based on the likely account about the genesis of the cosmos

Full textAbstract:
Le temps n'est pas seulement un theme discute dans les dialogues de platon, mais aussi ce qui porte, voire exige toute activite philosophique. L'homme et meme son ame qui est censee etre immortelle, ne possedent aucun moyen de s'arracher du temps. Avant toute thematisation explicite du temps, la philosophie se presente demblee comme un effort de maitriser et de regulariser le temps humain, celui que vivent les hommes dans les cites. Ce temps du devenir qui oscille sans cesse entre la croissance et la destruction, est a l'oppose du temps regulier des mouvements celestes. C'est entre ces deux domaines que se constitue la philosophie comme leur lien. Or si la republique et le timee de platon nous permettent de comprendre la constitution et le role de ce lien; ils nous apprennent egalement l'impossibilite d'une reconciliation finale des deux temporalites irreductiblement differentes. Aucune philosophie ne saurait remplacer la politique en tant qu'art de rapports entre les hommesThe time is not only one of the topics discussed in the dialogues of plato, but also that which bears and even requires the philosophical activity. The man, and even his soul that is considered to be immortal, have no means to releve themselves from time. Before making the time an object of its inquiry, the philosophy presents itself as an effort to cope with the time of men's lives in the cities. The time of becoming, oscillating ceaselessly between the growth and the destruction, is an opposed pole to the regular time of the motions of heavenly bodies. In between these two realms, the philosophy constitutes itself as their bond. If plato's republic and timaeus permit us to understand the constitution and the role of this bond, they teach us equally the impossibility of a final reconciliation of these two irreducobly different temporalities. No philosophy can replace the politics as the art of relation between the men

Full textAbstract:
Ces recherches sur le Timée-Critias sont la mise à l'épreuve d'hypothèses sur l'écriture philosophique telle que l'a conçue Platon, son initiateur. Ces hypothèses veulent donner l'idée précise d'un art d'écrire mathématiquement réglé, disposant théoriquement et pragmatiquement des moyens adéquats, et sachant reprendre, dans un cadre de conceptualisation ainsi mathématise, un ensemble de figures et de valeurs poétiques signifiantes. L'art d'écrire serait, dans cette hypothèse, de conjoindre le poétique et le mathématique pour donner à la vie philosophique une représentation miniature virtuelle, séminale, et la possibilité d'une reproduction future dans un acte de lecture. On se sera donc appuyé, pour développer cette idée, sur un examen des textes ou Platon donne à penser et son rapport effectif à l'écriture et sa position dans le problème technique de l'art d'écrire comme dans celui, politique, de la communication de la pensée ; à savoir, les lettres et le Phèdre. Ces recherches renouent d'une part avec la tradition de lecture néoplatonicienne, non pas pour reprendre littéralement le contenu du commentaire, mais la qualité d'un rapport au texte à commenter. D'autre part, elles veulent se tester comme interprétation pertinente sur des sortes d' "expériences cruciales" pour la lecture. Avec le Timée-Critias, présenté ici comme banc d'essai, l'épreuve-test consiste dans la difficulté qui embarrasse un lecteur moderne : l'apparent inachèvement du discours de CritiasThese researches about the work of Plato, the Timaeus-Critias, such as he conceived it, are meant to confirm some of the hypothesis about his philosophical writing. These hypothesis want to give a definite idea of a writing art mathematically adjusted, theoretically and practically feasible, and a writing art which is able to integrate, on this base, some poetic,traditional and meaningful figures. In such an hypothesis, the art consists in joining the poetic and the mathematic as well, in order to allow the philosophical practice to become a virtual performance, so that the miniatured and seminal dialogue of his text can reproduce itself in the activity of reading, in the reader himself. Thus, these researches command to consider the many texts in which plato gives some informations about his own relation with a piece of writing, and takes position in the technical problem of the writing art or the political problem of the communication of thoughts (the letters and the phaedrus). On the one hand, this work revives the tradition of neoplatonician reading, not the content of them, but the way of considering a text. On the other hand, it wants to test itself as a relevant interpretation with + crucial experiments ; of reading. The Timaeus-Critias is here a relevant test for the reader of today to meet with the difficulty of the seamly incompletion of critias speech

Full textAbstract:
Notre hypothèse consiste à affirmer que Platon souhaite transformer le mythe pour des raisons épistémologiques. Constatant la difficulté de parler d'un sujet sans le limiter à la sphère de l'intellect, il voit en la mythologie l'occasion d'utiliser un autre type de discours qui admet une forme de contraction. Toutefois, il est nécessaire que ce type de mythologie soit différent de la forme habituelle. Nous constatons que certains mythes font l'objet d'un traitement particulier de la part de Platon et échappent en quelque sorte aux critiques qu'il adresse par ailleurs à la mythologie. Selon nous, ces mythes représentent la réflexion de Platon au sujet de la mythologie qui aboutit à la constatation qu'un " eikos muthos " est le meilleur discours possible dans un contexte qui ne se limite pas à une analyse intellectualiste. En effet, nous défendons l'idée que ces mythes vraisemblables, bien qu'ils ne puissent prétendre à la certitude, ont un degré de véracité supérieur aux mythes habituels. En d'autres mots, nous défendons l'idée que l'opposition entre logos et muthos n'est pas aussi catégorique et que Platon tente d'y introduire un troisième type de discours. Notre étude se consacre à trois de ces mythes; le mythe de Diotime, le mythe historique du livre III des Lois et le mythe de Timée qui, par la nature de son sujet, représente le paradigme de ce changement.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis plusieurs années, de nouvelles traductions commentées de certains traités de Plotin sont apparues en France. Notre travail s'inspire de ce regain d'intérêt pour le fondateur du néoplatonisme. À notre tour, nous avons choisi d'offrir une introduction, une traduction et un commentaire d'un traité des Ennéades. Notre choix s'est arrêté sur un écrit qui a été négligé jusqu'ici: le traité Sur le Monde ou Sur le Ciel (II, 1 [40]). Dans les Ennéades, Il, 1 est l'un des seuls traités exclusivement consacrés à la cosmologie. En ces pages, Plotin nous livre sa vision de l'univers et surtout celle qu'il a du ciel. En effet, Plotin croit que les astres se composent uniquement de feu, alors que les vivants qui peuplent la terre contiennent quatre éléments, à savoir la terre, l' eau, l' air et le feu. Étant des dieux, les vivants célestes possèdent un meilleur corps que ceux d'ici-bas et ils évoluent dans une région supérieure. Bref, le ciel et tout ce qu'il contient n'a aucune commune mesure avec les vivants qui se trouvent sous la lune. Afin de défendre sa position, Plotin fait un appel constant aux enseignements de Platon. Le traité 40 devient ainsi une sorte d'exégèse du Timée. Plotin tente à chaque instant de rattacher ses doctrines à re dialogue. Or, cela ne va pas sans difficultés. En effet, Platon n ' a jamais soutenu que le ciel se compose uniquement de feu. Il croit au contraire que les quatre éléments entrent dans la constitution des astres. Tout au long du traité 40, nous assistons donc à une confrontation, celle d'un interprète néoplatonicien qui tente de lire dans le Timée une théorie qui ne s 'y trouve pas. D'une page à l' autre, les limites de toute exégèse se dessinent de manière frappante.

Full textAbstract:
Le démiurge de Platon et l'atome primitif de Lemaître sont deux intuitions inédites, que la thèse considère comme des artifices théoriques d'astronomie antiobservationnelle. La genèse de ces artifices renvoie à la thématisation présocratique de l'unité cosmique (1ère partie), principe matériel dans son éclosion ionienne, et principe abstrait dans l'école pythagoricienne (chap. 1 er). Platon institutionnalise les formes intelligibles et platonise les présocratiques (mathématisation du principe quadruple d'Empédocle et dépassement de la controverse être/devenir qui opposa éphésiens et éléates) (chap. 2). Lemaître, contemporain d'Einstein, est tributaire d'une unité cosmique marquée par la gravitation relativiste, qui disqualifie le système classique ayant, en son temps, déclassé le mouvement et les substances aristotéliciens (chap. 3). La théorisation (2ème partie) montre comment Platon fait du démiurge le concept axial de son astronomie géométrique, qui adjoint le monde sensible en devenir aux formes intelligibles, en n'en gardant que la trame (khora). L'univers est conforme aux normes mathématiques (proportion, symétrie, etc. ) (Chap. 4). La perspective dynamique de Lemaître émerge contre le modèle stationnaire d'Einstein/De Sitter, aristotélicien en son fond (Chap. 5). Au bout, deux configurations apparaissent (3ème partie) : sphérique et homogène, l'univers de Platon repose sur le triangle, figure fondamentale dont les combinaisons forment des enveloppes avec quatre polyèdres réguliers: tétraèdre, octaèdre, icosaèdre, hexaèdre. L'« âme du monde» en assure la dynamique (Chap. 6). D'interprétation quantique, la singularité cosmique de Lemaître développe le modèle d'un univers issu de l'explosion (big bang) d'un atome primitif : l’isotope du neutron (Chap. 7).

" toute plus-value quelle qu'en soit la tonne particuliere - profit, interet, rente, etc. - est en substance la materialisation d'un travail non paye " dit marx dans "le capital". Tout le systeme capitaliste fonctionnant sur cette base est donc construit a partir de la spoliation de la force de travail physique ou intellectuelle, c'est-a- dire que son existence meme implique cette premiere manifestation de la lutte de classes qui se perpetue ainsi continuellement, ce que j'ai appele le sens unique de la lutte de classes. Les conditions materielles ont une repercussion certaine sur les conditions ideelles, mais il n'existe aucun rapport d'automaticite, la subjectivite intervenant pour interpreter les conditions materielles d'une facon plus ou moins rationnelle ou irrationnelle. Dans sa critique de hegel, marx a tendance a minimiser l'autonomie de l'idee. Le role du comportement humain est insuffisamment pris en compte. Qu'il y ait des processus, des tendances s'effectuant en dehors de la volonte humaine, c'est incontestable, mais ils ont affaire non seulement a leurs propres contradictions pouvant en entraver l'evolution, mais aussi a l'intervention humaine pas toujours apte a en degager ce qui a forme de necessite, puisque c'est l'interet et la passion qui l'orientent dans le hasard des situations. Ainsi, necessite, interet, passion, hasard, constituent ce que je nomme une sorte de quatuor animant le mouvement des diverses societes humaines et les rapports de tous ordres qui les regissent. L'incapacite humaine a tout connaitre, a tout comprendre, a tout realiser sans faille, nous renvoie a ce que j'ai appele les restes platoniciens du " timee ". Elle est insuffisamment prise en compte par marx et est ignoree par l'interpretation stalinienne du marxisme- leninisme, " doctrine infaillible "" any surplus value, in whatever form - profit, interest, income, etc. - is, in substance, the materialisation of " unpaid work ", as marx declares in " das kapital ". The whole capitalist system is thus built on the plunder of the strength of physical or intellectual work. In other words, its very existence implies this primary manifestation of a self-perpetuating class struggle which i have called the one-way class struggle. Material conditions have a decisive impact on conceptual conditions but there is no automatic link between them as subjectivity intervenes in the rational or irrational interpretation of material conditions. In his critique of hegel, marx tends to minimise the autonomy of the idea. The role of human behaviour is insufficiently considered. Undeniably, some processes and trends occur outside human will but they are subject both to their own contradictions liable to hamper their evolution and to the action of humans who are more or less capable of identifying essential necessities since self-interest and passion guide us in random situations. Thus, necessity, self-interest, passion and chance constitute what i have called a sort of quartet which is the prime mover of all different human societies and the relations that govern them. The human incapacity to know everything, to understand everything, to achieve everything is a reference to what i have called the platonic vestige of " timee ". This human inability is insufficiently considered by marx and is completely ignored by the stalinian interpretation of marxism-leninism, known as the " infaillible doctrine "

Full textAbstract:
Dans l’Antiquité tardive, les théories de Platon et d’Aristote traitant du déplacement de la lumière (solaire ou oculaire) forment la base du discours sur la vision. L’approche néoplatonicienne des commentateurs grecs d’Aristote, influencée par la géométrie et la physiologie, est transmise à l’Occident latin, plus marqué cependant par le Timée de Platon – accessible en traduction, contrairement à l’oeuvre d’Aristote. Pour expliquer la formation de l’image dans l’âme de l’observateur, le monde grec combine des éléments issus d’Aristote et de Galien. L’Occident centre sa réflexion sur l’intériorité du sujet : la théorie augustinienne des trois visions élargit la théorie visuelle jusqu'à en faire une théorie de la pensée. Elle est ensuite redéfinie au XIIe siècle sous l’influence de la classification boécienne des puissances de l’âme. La propagation de la lumière est un élément essentiel de la vision. À partir de la métaphore du Dieu-lumière, les Pères grecs développent un discours métaphysique marqué par la physique aristotélicienne. Jean Scot Érigène le transmet au monde latin, où il vient conforter la théorie augustinienne de la vision. Au XIIe siècle, l'étude du Timée permet de transformer cette métaphysique en une optique physique originale. Alors qu’en grec les continuités avec le vocabulaire antique dominent, un lexique latin spécialisé semble se constituer, en partie sous influence grecque et en partie grâce à une réflexion autonome. Ce lexique, témoin de l’importance de la réflexion sur l’optique dans le monde latin durant le haut Moyen Age, est ensuite repris dans les traductions du XIIe siècle qui renouvellent la connaissance de cette discipline en OccidentDuring the late Antiquity, the theories of Plato and Aristotle about the solar or ocular light's movements are the basis of the theory of vision. The neoplatonic approach of the greek commentators to Aristotle, influenced by geometry and physiology, has been passed on to the Latin Occident, which was actually closer to Platon's Timaeus – available in traduction, unlike Aristotle's workIn order to explain the formation of the image in the observer's soul, the Greeks combine elements of Aristotle and Galen. The Occident focuses on the subject's interiority: the Augustinian theory enlarge the visual theory to create a thought's one. Then it's redefined during the twelth century under the influence of Boece's classification of the soul's forces. The propagation of light is a crucial element of vision. From the God-light's metapher, the Greek fathers developp a metaphysical speech influenced by Aristotle's physic. John Scotus Eriugena passes it on to the Latin world, where it comforts the Augustinian theory of vision. During the twelth century, this metaphysics changes to physics (optics) by means of the Timaeus' studies. Whereas in greek there is a continuity with the antique vocabulary, a specialised lexicon tends to appear in latin, through the greek and an autonomous thought, respectively. This lexicon, testimonial of the powerfull reflexion on optic during the early Middle Ages, is used in the twelth century's translations, which renew the knowing of this discipline in Occident

This thesis brings together work I have published in the last five years in academic journals and edited book collections. All the material presented in the thesis, much of it substantially rewritten, will appear in the trilogy I have been working on since my last published book, Radio, Television and Modern Life (Blackwell 1996). The organising structure of the thesis and its substantive concerns corresponds with that of the three books that will come out of it. The form and content of the thesis, and its relation to the books, is discussed in some detail in its introduction. Its fundamental concern is with human time which I have explored in all my writings since I began research thirty years ago, with my late friend and colleague David Cardiff, into the early history of the British Broadcasting Corporation. The medium of radio is time. Historiography deals with past time. The academic work of writing history on the other, and the temporality of radio and television on the one hand, are the first two themes of this thesis which shows that the orders of time in which they work are divergent rather than convergent. The third section of the thesis attempts their reconciliation through the recovery of meaningful time.

Time, evanescence, and impermanence are basic concepts and have a strong presence in my work. In my photographic works, the outside natural world can be the natural painting itself and I store landscapes in my camera to print out to show as the final artwork. My final project will be a series of landscape photographs which will be focused on the natural environment related to the passage of time. All my photographs were taken in different places around the Sydney region. My photographs will be exhibited as a series of images. The Postgraduate degree exhibition will be held in Sydney College of the Arts on 4th December to 10th December, 2014. This research paper will focus on the concept of time and phenomenology, while outlining the importance of time consciousness. This is closely based on the proposed philosophy of time consciousness and being and time by Edmund Husserl (1859-1938) and Martin Heidegger (1889-1976), respectively. Phenomenology is the study of phenomena as experienced by the individual, and is a discipline of philosophy. Drawing from these ideas, the intention of this research paper is to understand the presence of how photography has been concerned with experience of time according to phenomenology and time consciousness. In Chapter One, the main ideas have been proposed through Husserl’s theory on “temporal horizon” and analysing consciousness as the flow of phenomena to support the paper. Chapter Two will present different artists works and it addresses their individual ideas on phenomenology and time. In Chapter Three, broad philosophical ideas of time relation to base on essay “On Photography” by Susan Sontag (1933-2004). The last chapter will concentrate on my previous artworks and current photograph works to understand relevant ideas on photograph in relation to phenomenology of time consciousness. The findings of this research provide an understanding of how we consciously experience time in our world and give clear ideas of time and phenomenological time consciousness to demonstrate my photographs.

La doctrine pythagoricienne de la Tétractys est sans doute une des questions les plus délicates de l’histoire de la philosophie. Elle représente non seulement une des théories essentielles de l’arithmologie, mais aussi, ainsi que la doxographie ancienne en témoigne, « le plus grand secret et le fondement de la philosophie pythagoricienne ». Armand Delatte, dans ses classiques Etudes sur la littérature pythagoricienne, a souligné l’importance véhiculée par ce philosophème. Dans la première partie, « méthodologique », de notre étude, nous traitons du lien entre Platon et la pensée pythagoricienne, en prenant comme fil conducteur trois notions essentielles: le silence voué des initiés de l’ordre et la pratique du secret ;l’expression énigmatique et « symbolique » ;la pratique de l’allégorie (hyponoia), indissolublement associée, elle, à celle du mythe. La deuxième partie de notre travail est centrée sur le témoignage le plus ancien au sujet de la Tétractys, à savoir sur la fameuse maxime des Acousmatiques :« Qu’est-ce que l’oracle des Delphes ?La Tétractys, c'est-à-dire l’harmonie où se trouvent les Sirènes ». En outre, en modérant, d’une certaine manière, l’ « ésotérisme historique » de l’Ecole de Tübingen, dont nous nous prenons des distances quant à certains points (comme, par exemple, l’importance de la méthode allégorique), nous tentons, dans la troisième et dernière partie de notre étude, de lire certains passages mythiques de Platon comme des allégories susceptibles d’être comprises et de trouver leur cohérence à la lumière de la tradition indirecte, voire de la théorie platonicienne sur les nombres, théorie intimement liée à la doctrine pythagoricienne de la Tétractys. Dans cet ordre d’idées, à partir de la République et du Timée jusqu’au Phèdre et au Gorgias, la mathématisation platonicienne de la réalité se verrait intégrée aux mythes, dont la somptuosité poétique ne serait qu’une image de l’enchantement philosophique entraînant l’élévation de l’âme vers l’Un – Bien. Bien qu’ayant toujours présents à l’esprit les dangers auxquels notre étude s’expose, nous n’avons pas toujours su les éliminer. Nous ne méconnaissons aucunement ses lacunes et ses faiblesses. Nous considérons en revanche que son avantage réside en ce qu’elle tente de contribuer à éclairer d’une lumière nouvelle certains aspects méconnus. C’est sans doute là que se situe le danger, mais aussi son intérêt.

This is an essay on the ontologic nature of time, so to say, a study that intends to distinguish, inside the realm of experience, the subjective time from time itself, trying to bound both of them by logical necessity and formal adequation to the critics and discoveries from modern and contemporary philosophy and science. This essay also provides an historiographic resume of the main abstractions from sciense, as well as, the main contributions from philosophers, like Saint Augustine and Kant, for example, to the problem of time, approaching also the critics of contemporay physics to the classical time paradigm and the new trends of approach and research of time in the XXI century.

Full textAbstract:
In a distributed real-time environment where it is imperative to make correct decisions it is important to have all facts available to make the most accurate decision in a certain situation. An example of such an environment is an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system where several UAVs cooperate to carry out a certain task and the data recorded is analyzed after the completion of the mission. This project aims to define and implement a time series architecture for use together with a distributed real-time database for the ability to store temporal data. The result from this project is a time series (TS) architecture that uses DeeDS, a distributed real-time database, for storage. The TS architecture is used by an application modelled from a UAV scenario for storing temporal data. The temporal data is produced by a simulator. The TS architecture solves the problem of storing temporal data for applications using DeeDS. The TS architecture is also useful as a foundation for integrating time series in DeeDS since it is designed for space efficiency and real-time requirements.

Full textAbstract:
Previous work on shopping behaviour can be catergorised into three themes. Work has been done to identify different motivations for shopping, developing the original thinking of Stone, (1954) and Tauber, (1972). Work has been done on retail patronage, examining shopping behaviour from the image promoted by retailers, building upon the original work of Matineau, (1958) and Lindquist, (1974). A third body of work, somewhat less coherent, contains a collection of different models of patronage, the most relevant here being that concerned with retail location, based on the work of Huff, (1964) and Christall and Loch, (1930) where patronage is seen to decline with distance. This thesis draws mainly from the perspective in the first theme. It takes as its starting point the concept of the individual being an allocator of time as well as money. People are seen as being motivated in their allocation of time to activities such as shopping by their time orientation. This in tum creates different attitudes to shopping which influences shopping behaviour. Previous work on time attitude and shopping behaviour has tended to emphasise solely time pressure and time saving as being linked (Berry, 1979), although others have seen time orientation as more complex (Gronmo, 1989 and Graham, 1981). A framework is developed that links attitude to time to attitude to shopping and then to actual shopping behaviour. The main contribution from the thesis is in the development and testing ofthis framework. 12 Attitudes to time are claimed to be culture specific (Graham, 1981 and Sheth and Hirshman, 1987) and so the framework is tested in two countries, Britain and Thailand. A questionnaire was developed to measure time attitude, shopping attitude and shopping behaviour in the context of food shopping. This was applied in Blackburn and Bangkok. Factor analysis is used to identify time and shopping attitudes. These are correlated with shopping behaviour specifically time spent shopping, shopping frequency, time of the day used for shopping and the patronage of individual outlets. Cluster analysis is used based upon the time and shopping factors to identify four market segments in each country. Comparisons are made between the results from each study. Although the results contain certain similarities, there are also significant differences that may be linked to differences in attitudes to time between the two countries. The main conclusion from the research is that the time perspective is useful in understanding consumer psychology and patronage behaviour. The results show that time orientation plays an important role in segmenting consumer markets. There are a number of theoretical and practical implications. The conceptualisation of time attitude being linked to patronage behaviour makes a significant contribution to marketing theory. The thesis shows that time orientation and shopping motivation are valuable dimensions in understanding consumer shopping behaviour.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 25-28, 1993 / Riviera Hotel and Convention Center, Las Vegas, NevadaThis paper describes a real-time implementation of the pattern recognition technology originally developed by BBN [Delatizky et al] for post-processing of time-sampled telemetry data. This makes it possible to monitor a data stream for a characteristic shape, such as an arrhythmic heartbeat or a step-response whose overshoot is unacceptably large. Once programmed to recognize patterns of interest, it generates a symbolic description of a time-series signal in intuitive, object-oriented terms. The basic technique is to decompose the signal into a hierarchy of simpler components using rules of grammar, analogous to the process of decomposing a sentence into phrases and words. This paper describes the basic technique used for pattern recognition of time-series signals and the problems that must be solved to apply the techniques in real time. We present experimental results for an unoptimized prototype demonstrating that 4000 samples per second can be handled easily on conventional hardware.

The experience of time is not fixed by a rigid mathematical measure, instead, it flows at vaying rates.
There are certain occasions in which we would like to extend time with all our force, up to the limit of our stretched arms and further. Conversely there are moments which we'd like to last no more that the sparkle of a flash, but as we all have noticed, those are the longest in our life.
How does the space that we inhabit influence on our perception of time? May we identify especial elements that contribute in one or other sense to accelerate or slowdown the time?
It's said that time and space is an inseparable unity, as two aspects of the same thing. If this is so, then it also must be true that by shaping space in one way or another, we might influence the experience of time through it. Wouldn't it be delightful to believe that we may be magicians of time through manipulation of architecture?Master of Architecture

This thesis is concerned with part-time undergraduate students within the higher education system in England. In particular it focusses on the strategies this group of students employ to complete their degrees successfully. I place the experience of successful part-time students at the heart of the thesis because I think that it is vital in the twenty-first century to further our understanding of this heterogeneous group in order to have an accessible higher education system that does not by design discriminate against those who choose a particular mode of study. By doing this I create a collective narrative for part-time students. A small qualitative sample of completed part-time undergraduate students was interviewed to produce the data used herein.

Full textAbstract:
The opening of large archives of satellite data such as LANDSAT, MODIS and the SENTINELs has given researchers unprecedented access to data, allowing them to better quantify and understand local and global land change. The need to analyze such large data sets has led to the development of automated and semi-automated methods for satellite image time series analysis. However, few of the proposed methods for remote sensing time series analysis are available as open source software. In this paper we present the R package dtwSat. This package provides an implementation of the time-weighted dynamic time warping method for land cover mapping using sequence of multi-band satellite images. Methods based on dynamic time warping are flexible to handle irregular sampling and out-of-phase time series, and they have achieved significant results in time series analysis. Package dtwSat is available from the Comprehensive R Archive Network (CRAN) and contributes to making methods for satellite time series analysis available to a larger audience. The package supports the full cycle of land cover classification using image time series, ranging from selecting temporal patterns to visualizing and assessing the results.

Globally education authorities are placing increasing emphasis on the development of literacy and numeracy in primary schools. This paper reports on research designed to assist teachers to improve the
numeracy of their students by making the use of mathematics games a more focused aspect of the teaching and learning experience in mathematics. Classroom experience and anecdotal evidence suggest
that games are often used without really focussing on the mathematics involved in playing the game,and are justified simply on the basis of children having ‘fun’. In this paper we report on the use of one game, Numero and how teachers made use of the game and the impact on the children’s learning when using the game.

Full textAbstract:
The time delay estimation between time series is a real-world problem in gravitational lensing, an area of astrophysics. Lensing is the most direct method of measuring the distribution of matter, which is often dark, and the accurate measurement of time delays set the scale to measure distances over cosmological scales. For our purposes, this means that we have to estimate a time delay between two or more noisy and irregularly sampled time series. Estimations have been made using statistical methods in the astrophysics literature, such as interpolation, dispersion analysis, discrete correlation function, Gaussian processes and Bayesian method, among others. Instead, this thesis proposes a kernel-based approach to estimating the time delay, which is inspired by kernel methods in the context of statistical and machine learning. Moreover, our methodology is evolved to perform model selection, regularisation and time delay estimation globally and simultaneously. Experimental results show that this approach is one of the most accurate methods for gaps (missing data) and distinct noise levels. Results on artificial and real data are shown.

First passage time or the first time that a stochastic process crosses a boundary is a random variable whose probability distribution is sought in engineering, statistics, finance, and other disciplines. The probability distribution of the first passage time has practical utility but is difficult to obtain because the values of the stochastic process at different times often constitute dependent random variables. As a result, most first-passage-time problems are still open and few of them are explicitly solved. In this thesis, we solve a large class of first-passage-time problems and demonstrate the applications of our solutions to networks that need to maintain common-time references. Motivated by rich applications of first passage time, we solve first-passage-time problems, which are divided into four categories according to the form of stochastic processes and the type of the boundaries. The four categories cover Brownian motion with quadratic drift and the boundary that consists of two constants; Brownian motion with polynomial drift of an arbitrary degree and the boundary that consists of two constants; multi-dimensional Brownian motion with polynomial drift and a class of boundaries that are characterized by open sets in the Euclidean space; and a discrete-time process with a class of correlations and the boundary that consists of one constant. These first-passage-time problems are challenging yet important for practical utility. The solutions to these first-passage-time problems range from an explicit expression to a bound of the first-passage-time distribution, reflecting the inherent difficulty in these first-passage-time problems. For Brownian motion with quadratic drift, the solution is explicit, consisting of elementary functions and functions that are characterized by Laplace transforms. For Brownian motion with polynomial drift of an arbitrary order, the solution involves analytical and numerical methods. For multi-dimensional Brownian motion, the solution is explicit for a certain shape of the boundary and is given by an upper bound and a lower bound for the other shapes. For the discrete-time process, the solution is explicit. The strength of our solutions is that they cover a large class of first-passage-time problems and are easy to use. The primary approach that allows us to solve these first-passage-time problems is transformation methodology. We apply various types of transformations, including transformation of probability measure, transformation of time, and integral transformation. Although these transformations are known, the combination of them in an appropriate order enables the solutions to previously-unsolved first-passage-time problems. We also discuss other problems that can be solved as consequences of the transformation methodology, including first-passage-time problems that involve a one-sided constant boundary, a moving boundary, and drifts such as logarithmic, exponential, sinusoidal, and square-root functions. A large class of first-passage-time problems confirms the utility of the transformation methodology. We demonstrate an application of the first-passage-time problems in the context of network synchronization. In the first setting that we consider, the first passage time is the first time that a network loses synchronization with a reference clock. At the first passage time, clocks in the network need to be calibrated. In the second setting, the first passage time represents the first time that a node achieves a correct synchronization of frames or packets. At the first passage time, a node in the network is able to process the packets that are transmitted as parts of the calibration. In both settings, we consider two performance metrics-the average and the outage-which succinctly summarize the first passage time. These metrics give insight, for example, into the amount of time for networks to lose synchronization as a function of key parameters such as noise in the clocks and the number of nodes in the network. Given the large class of first-passage-time problems being solved, we expect the thesis results to be useful in many disciplines where first-passage-time problems appear.

Full textAbstract:
Since the Devonian Period, 360 million years ago, trees have been foundational for the survival of aerobic life. Today, most humans relate to trees through the idea, material and commodity of wood. This understanding is primarily informed by its use as a building material: the formal attributes of its grain pattern read to assess structural integrity and aesthetic applications. I think of these marks as autonomous and unique natural drawings, documenting time in a scale different from our lifespan. Wood’s composition of cellulose and lignin create patterns that record temporal fluctuations in precipitation and the unique soil compounds of each tree’s growth site as a codex. As an MFA candidate, I used woodworking techniques to explore the relationship between temporality and materiality. Along the way, I became interested in the reductive carving techniques of woodturning as a metaphor for this investigation: cutting through layers of time. Small segments of wood were laminated together in mathematical patterns and turned to reveal parabolic grids on the interior and exterior surface of each object. This study led me to consider the limitations that traditional art display conventions impose on the viewer’s perception of an artwork, and to the realization of the Thoughtitarium; an eight-foot diameter fiberglass hemisphere that hovered above the gallery floor in architectural scale.

Full textAbstract:
In contemporary capitalist economies such as the UK, it is commonly held that an increasing number of people and households experience anxiety over time and symptoms of 'time squeeze'. Existing accounts of the character and causes of this phenomenon are rather one-dimensional and lacking in nuance, however. In part, this is because they typically lack any substantial theoretical engagement with the concept of time itself. Accordingly, this research aims to provide a more complex and contextual account of experiences of working time (both paid and unpaid), and to investigate how and why experiences of time squeeze vary between individuals and social groups. This is achieved by calling upon an enriched understanding of time, and employing an instrumental case study built around a set of 50 semi-structured interviews with employees working in Oxford University's central IT department and four of its constituent colleges. The empirical findings reveal that the (quantitative) extent and (qualitative) nature of participants' temporal anxieties vary with occupation, social class, gender, age and family status, as well as the importance of institutional and local context. Furthermore, they demonstrate that contemporary time squeeze is generated by a variety of causal mechanisms relating to the duration, tempo and timing of both paid employment and unpaid reproductive work, and their intersections with the personal, natural, social, institutional and technological rhythms that variously constitute everyday life.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Time Perspective is an individual difference variable that is believed to underpin ‘virtually all aspects of human functioning’ (Boniwell & Zimbardo, 2010). Indeed, it has so far predicted a large variety of outcome variables in previous research, including behaviours, attitudes, values, habits and decision-making. However, it has never been tested as a predictor of mood, or in psychiatric disorders. Time perspective theory posits that a balanced time perspective is necessary for healthy functioning. Time Perspective biases, on the other hand, are believed to lead to maladaptive functioning. This thesis investigates whether time perspective does also underpin and predict the most extreme ends of the mood spectrum in bipolar disorder. Participants: Three online studies were conducted with two samples of adults with bipolar disorders and one sample of adults with no mental health diagnosis. Setting: All samples were collected online, from across the world. Objectives: A series of studies investigated various aspects of time perspective theory to establish the relationship between mood and time perspective. Ten research questions were designed to answer questions on time perspective’s ability to differentiate and predict mood, and to find out whether or not it functions differently in normal and abnormal mood. It was also established whether time perspective predicts mood states differentially. Methodology: Regression analyses, MANOVAs, ANOVA and t-tests were performed to answer the research questions. Results: Our time perspective profile does indeed appear to underpin bipolar mood states. All five time perspectives were able to differentiate between four bipolar mood states. When considered separately, the five time perspectives did appear to predict mood states differentially, i.e. different time perspectives were predictors for separate bipolar mood states. Moreover, time perspective does appear to function significantly different in adults with no mental health diagnosis. Conclusions: The results of this series of studies suggests that time perspective indeed also underpins mood and can differentiate between normal and abnormal bipolar mood states. Compared to impulsiveness and BIS/BAS sensitivity, time perspective was able to explain more variance in these samples when used as a predictor.

The core of my investigation is the construction of narratives through film, self-fashioning and fashioning by others through the complex histories of cultural encounter — through colonialism, tourism, translation, ethnography. I will attempt to look at these encounters and the different forms of mimicry they have engendered as a positive force where the acquisition of ‘otherness’ becomes both performative and formative, immersive and mocking. I will look at both sides of the reflected gaze, and look for moments when through imitation/emulation/ mimicry one has tried to capture the other. In so doing I will navigate between the multiple subject positions and locations I personally inhabit as belonging and not belonging to the ‘east’ and the ‘west’, as constituting but also being produced by a cinematic apparatus, as embodied in the physical experience of the sweat, touch and dizziness of the dance while producing relations of power and spectatorship. I will draw on feminist film theory, postcolonial theory and theories of material culture to renegotiate the location of identity in the non-West and to consider ways of analysing cultural objects beyond disciplinary boundaries. The production of meaning has been theorised extensively in poststructuralist thought as one of endless displacement and infinite semiosis, yet is still held within bounded disciplines. The meanings circulate in all forms of cultural production and have the potential of producing fictions as well as analyses, inscriptions, as well as descriptions. The work we engage with as artists and researchers has also the potential of affecting and producing social relations, while trying to capture the relations in the making. The PhD submission will also include moving image, 16mm films on DVD referring to the current state of Zagreb and the war crime trials at the Hague.

Efter andra världskriget var optimismen i Sverige på topp. Landet var skonat från förstörelse och ekonomin blomstrade. Folkhemmets ideal genomsyrade samhällets alla skikt och detta märktest tydligt på Telefonplan. I ett stort nybyggt funkishus hade LM Ericsson precis flyttat in med sina 5000 anställda. Den rationella fabriken hade byggts efter tayloristiska principer där verkstadens arbete analyserats och standardiserats. Staden åtog sig att dra fram spårvagnen från Svandammen, de anställda byggde småhus runt fabriken och LM byggde daghem och kulturhus. Tillslut blev det ett litet samhälle där allt kretsade kring Telefonfabriken, LM-andan blev ett begrepp. Men optimismen och idealen dog sakta ut. Telefonplan blev en tråkig plats dit inga unga ville flytta. 2004 förändrades det, Ericsson hade flyttat och en ”utbildningsindustri” tog över fabrikens lokaler och optimismen kom att blomstra igen. Med Konstfack centralt placerad på fabrikens verkstadsgolv blev denna ”kreativa industri” det som arbetare vallfärdade till från Telefonplans tunnelbanestation. Högskolorna reformeras nu i Sverige, liksom i hela Europa. Utbildningarna ska frambringa forskare, lärare och studenter som uppfyller från början noggrant fixerade mål. Produkterna ska återigen standardiseras. Telefonplan blir ett exempel på ett samhälle i förändring, tron på att ett framtida välstånd som numera inte skapas av ett fåtal jättelika bolag utan av små kreativa kunskapsintensiva företag. Med utbildningen i centrum ska Telefonplan nu bli Sveriges nya kreativa nav för konst och design. En inkubator för kreativa entreprenörer som ska ta plats i ett klimat där stad, näringsliv och akademi tillsammans bygger framtiden.

My paintings are a combination of transparent images merged with paint and wax. As each piece of art develops, the process is the same. The beginning relies on memory or some connection to my past. Then, the progression evolves through a symbolic infancy with an emerging learning experience, which ultimately transforms into a creative piece, along the road less traveled…to the journey’s end. The transparency comes from the image transfer process, which produces a “ghostly” or antique image due to the deteriorated effect of the image in the transfer. The photographic transfers suggest the image without being so bold as to dominate the overall piece of artwork. The encaustic medium that I use to create the surfaces in my work allows me to explore the features of a sculptural medium. I am able to carve into, apply texture, and build up relief on the surface of each piece. The paint hidden in the crevices or layered on the surface adds emphasis and creates focal points in the painting.
