Hildebrandt, Antje. "Expanding the object : post-conceptual dance and choreographic performance practices." Thesis, University of Wolverhampton, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/2436/558802.
Full textAbstract:
This project is concerned with exploring the relationship between postconceptual dance and its state as object. As a practice-led research project it aims to do so both through the written thesis and through artistic practice, which is here presented as a series of video projects that extend representations of dance. Over five chapters I trace the permutation of the ‘object’ from choreographer to spectator, participant, editor, collector and ‘reframer’, arguing for the multiplicity of roles that choreographers, and by extension dancers, take on at the beginning of the 21st century. My interdisciplinary research draws from a variety of theoretical discourses including performance theory, visual cultures and critical theory, and is therefore both relevant to the field of dance studies and beyond the discipline. Given the practice-led nature of the project, my aim has been to expand choreographic performance practices and to increases the range of ‘objects’ that can be considered dance. Therefore, the project resides in the gaps and tensions between practice and theory, performance and documentation, language and dance, text and movement, choreography and objecthood. Throughout I argue that post-conceptual dance operates within an extended field in which dancers and choreographers are expanding the boundaries of the art form, making dance relevant to a broader artistic, cultural, political and social context.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis empirically compares statistical prediction models using fault count data and fault binary data. The types of statistical models that are studied in detail are Logistic Regression for binary data and Negative Binomial Regression for the count data. Different model building approaches are also evaluated: manual variable selection, stepwise variable selection, and hybrid selection (classification and regression trees combined with stepwise selection). The data set comes from a commercial Java application development project. In this project special attention was paid to data collection to ensure data accuracy. The comparison criteria we used were a consistency coefficient and the estimated cost savings from using the prediction model. The results indicate that while different model building approaches result in different object-oriented metrics being selected, there is no marked difference in the quality of the models that are produced. These results suggest that there is no compelling reason to collect highly accurate fault count data when building object-oriented models, and that fault binary data (which are much easier to collect) will do just as well.

Cushway, David. "A model for the interpretation of the ceramic object located in the museum developed through post-disciplinary, post-studio practice." Thesis, University of Sunderland, 2015. http://sure.sunderland.ac.uk/5824/.
Full textAbstract:
This research is initiated through an examination and mapping of the contemporary ceramics discourse within the United Kingdom and is situated from 1994 until the completion of my PhD study in 2014. This analysis of the practical and theoretical fields of ceramics practice provides a framework within which my own education and development as a practising artist can be measured and authenticated whilst providing a critical overview of the changing critical landscape of ceramics discourse over the last twenty years. Ceramics as an expanded field is evidenced through case studies of artist peers; and interviews with key critics, writers and curators. It introduces the positions of the post-studio and post-disciplinary practitioner as paradigms of practice that acknowledge an artists’ capacity to operate within the field of ceramics, utilising a multitude of approaches, media and mediums. The practical element of the research is developed outside of the studio within the context of the museum and its collection. This is embodied by employing a bricolage methodology that identifies the artist as an individual who ‘works between and within competing and overlapping perspectives and paradigms’ (Denzin and Lincoln, 1994). The resulting practical outputs of Last Supper at the Glynn Vivian, 12 People 12 Objects and Teatime at the Museum created through the mediums of film and photography are presented as both completed works and constituent elements of contemporary ceramics practice. They offer an original contribution to knowledge by presenting an adjustable model of engagement with the ceramic object and collection implemented by the post-disciplinary, post-studio practitioner in collaboration with the institution and curator.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis the idea of relationship-centered design is proposed based on a speculative design project which is grounded in an understanding of post-anthropocentrism. To facilitate post-anthropocentric human-artifact relationships, that don’t favor living actors over non-living actor, objects may appear to have a life-like agency based on needs and therefore must be empathized with which can be achieved through object characters. Through the discussion of materiality, object behaviors, and object characters, the philosophy of object-oriented ontology and the social-theory of actor-network theory are connected to concepts from interaction design and reveal that materiality, object characters, and object behaviors “meet” in the interaction of humans and artifacts. The phenomenological approach of the Research through Design methodology has shown how the applied methods, that were focussed on the perceived experience of the designer, helped to identify possible correlations of materiality, object behavior and object characters that might affect the human-artifact relationship. Further, the research identified possible implications of post-anthropocentric design, which suggests, that further investigation of how post-anthropocentrism as an approach to design might influence aspects as understandings of equality, consent, and consumption behavior which eventually might have an influence on socio-political structures.

Tsagkaridis, Konstantinos. "Semantic and action influences on visual perception : the role of action affordances and object functionality in visual selection, memory encoding and post-perceptual processes." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/5685.
Full textAbstract:
The current thesis explores semantic and action effects on visual perception and specifically how higher-level knowledge can co-affect the process of visual perception, along with the well established effects of low level image characteristics, such as colour, image/object saliency and general gist of the scene. Recent evidence on object recognition supports perceptual grouping effects of familiar pairings of functionally interacting objects. This leads to an advantage for their perception as compared with objects positioned in a non-interacting configuration, in cases where there are attentional limitations in perception. Similar effects were previously reported in clinical cases of people diagnosed with neglect (Humphreys & Riddoch, 2001, 2007; Riddoch et al, 2003, 2006), but the fact that they are also present in normally functioning individuals (Green & Hummel, 2006) makes them a clear example of higher order effects on perception. Given the evidence about the abstract nature of the information stored in visual memory and the fact that orientation is part of the spatial information related to an object representation, our first series of experiments aimed at further exploring the nature of this perceptual grouping and whether objects separation would have an effect on it. By combining this paradigm with a paradigm used to explore linguistic factors of perceiving space (Carlson-Radvansky & Radvansky, 1996; Carlson-Radvansky, Covey & Lattanzi, 1999; Carlson-Radvansky & Tang, 2000), we additionally explored the effect of functional interactions at higher levels of post-perceptual processing. We manipulated the locations of various pairs of objects as well as the semantic and functional relationship between them to explore if spatial configurations affect the way people talk about the relationship of the objects in the same way as they affect the same objects‟ recognition. The results revealed a difference, with the same distance manipulation affecting linguistic descriptions of spatial relationships between pairs of objects but having no effect in their perceptual grouping. One of the aims of this thesis is the interpretation of such effects according to a recently growing body of evidence on the interaction between action and perception systems. These systems which were traditionally considered to be two separate disciplines seem to connect, with information from action systems feeding on perceptual systems. Through such an interaction, for example, information about the functionally related objects could lead to their perceptual grouping. A series of experiments have demonstrated effects of action affordances on object perception and their combined results seem to imply pre-attentive effects on object perception independent of the person‟s intention to act on an object (Riddoch, Humphreys, Edwards, Baker & Wilson, 2002; Tipper, Paul & Hayes, 2006; Symes, Ellis & Tucker, 2007).To further explore the role of functional relationships and action affordances in natural scene viewing, a second series of experiments was designed. These experiments also provided evidence to an old debate about the nature of visual memory and its organisation, adding further evidence for the role of semantic relationship and action affordances in the memory encoding of a scene. This series of experiments took advantage of the phenomenon of object prioritization during unexpected object onsets or feature changes while viewing real world scenes (Brockmole & Henderson, 2005a). Using a variation of classic change detection paradigms, eye-tracking data were recorded to measure at which point action affordance manipulations would have an effect and to reveal whether object functionality changes can still produce attention capture (quantified as fixation probability to the object of interest), similarly to previously tested semantic changes. Functionality manipulation was achieved by orientation changes of a critical object in the scene, but in a way which constitutes it non functional to the specific context. By comparing action affordance interference during object onsets against interference during object orientation changes we differentiated between pre-attentive and post-selection mechanisms. Our results indicate that although there is no evidence of pre-attentive modulation of object prioritization, action affordances do have an effect in post-selection mechanisms, with functionally inconsistent objects attracting attention faster and affecting the encoding of an object in the scene representation during memory guided prioritization but not during oculomotor capture. Our results also support the existence of two separate mechanisms for object prioritization. As a summary, this family of semantic relationships, action affordances and the interplay between action and perception systems has been tested during my PhD research from the very early stages of perception until post perceptual and linguistic accounts of the perceived image. Their role in attention capture and their mediating role to visual memory have also been explored using eye-tracking technology and realistic and rich in information real world scenes. Overall my thesis is oriented towards the aspects that tie all these effects together and further explores the role of action affordances in memory encoding.

Full textAbstract:
Ce mémoire décrit la conception d’un dispositif, communicant sans fil, estimant la dépense énergétique liée à une activité physique (DEAP) de patients présentant de faibles niveaux d’activité physique (post-AVC) dans un milieu sensible comme les hôpitaux en associant fiabilité et sécurité. La nécessité d’une nouvelle conception s’appuie sur les résultats d’études préalables et de tests des dispositifs commercialisés dans ce domaine basés sur des accéléromètres. Pour limiter l’impact des radiofréquences, nous utilisons une technologie optique sans fil avec un émetteur porté par le patient en mouvement (plateforme existante associée à un accéléromètre et un système d’émission par diode infrarouge) et des récepteurs fixés au plafond reliés via Ethernet à un ordinateur distant permettant l’analyse des données. La probabilité de coupure d’un lien mobile en optique sans fil par transmission diffuse a été établie théoriquement en considérant un débit faible et une haute qualité de service classique dans le domaine médical. La mesure du nombre de pertes de trame durant la communication a permis de valider les performances théoriques de la technologie optique sans fil et d’établir la fiabilité de ce type de transmission infrarouge en fonction du nombre de récepteurs. Le calcul de la DEAP a été effectué à partir d’un pré-étalonnage sur deux personnes en comparant les résultats obtenus avec ceux donnés par calorimétrie et ceux donnés par un dispositif commercial. Nous avons optimisé l’étalonnage en réalisant un protocole d’essais avec un échantillon de personnes plus vaste puis avec un échantillon de onze personnes post-AVC pour valider le prototypeThis thesis describes the design of a wireless device, communicating and estimating the energy expenditure (EE) related to physical activity of patients with low levels of physical activity (post stroke) in a sensitive environment such as hospitals by combining reliability and safety. The necessity of a new device is based on the results of preliminary studies and tests of commercially available devices (for the same use) based on accelerometers. To limit the impact of radio frequencies, we use optical technology with a wireless transmitter worn by a mobile patient (existing platform combined with an accelerometer and a system of transmission with infrared diode) and receiver fixed on the ceiling and connected via Ethernet to a remote computer for data analysis. The outage probability of a mobile wireless diffuse optical transmission was theoretically established by considering a low speed and a high quality of service in the conventional medical area. Measuring the number of frame losses during communication validates the theoretical performance of the optical wireless technology and proves the reliability of this type of mobile infrared transmission according to the number of receivers. The calculation of the EE has been performed on a pre-calibration from two people by comparing the results with those given by calorimetry and those given by a commercial device. We optimized the calibration by performing a test protocol with a larger sample of people and with a sample of eleven stroke people to validate the prototype

The aim of my work is to reflect expression coincidence that reflects the theoretical basis of cellular automata and quantum mechanics. I think that art should point to examples of accurate knowledge and in this way spread among potential viewers. This is how I try to get closer to the subjective utopian society WERP-VEGA. I am not entirely convinced that fine arts can change the political situation or address fundamental civilization complications, but I believe that art is able to predict freely one of the possible scenarios of the future because one is only able to do what he can imagine.

Tas, Ayse Caglar. "The role of visual stability in representations of pre- and post-saccadic objects." Diss., University of Iowa, 2015. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1916.
Full textAbstract:
During everyday scene viewing, the information received by the visual system is frequently disrupted: Objects are often occluded by other objects, and sensory processing is interrupted by eye, head, or body movements. The visual system is extremely efficient at correcting for these interruptions and in establishing object correspondence and perceptual continuity. At the end of this correspondence process, the visual system is left with two representations of an object: The initial representation and the one acquired after the disruption. In the present dissertation, I investigated the mechanisms by which the visual system reconciles these discontinuous inputs to give us a perception of a smooth and stable visual world.
To achieve this, I ran four experiments in which participants were presented with a colored saccade target, and instructed to remember its color before executing the saccade. On some trials, the color of the saccade target was changed to a new value during the saccade. Participants were asked to report either the pre- or post-saccadic color value in a continuous report task. Object continuity was manipulated in two ways. The target blanking paradigm served as the main manipulation of stability: On half the trials, the target was removed from the screen during the saccade, disrupting object continuity. In addition, the magnitude of color change was used as a secondary manipulation of visual stability. The color report data were fit with probabilistic mixture models. First, there was no evidence for integration of pre- and post-saccadic feature values into a composite representation. Instead, on a majority of trials participants could successfully retain and report both pre- and post-saccadic states of the target object. Further, these two states dynamically interacted with each other, resulting in their feature values systematically shifting toward each other. Lastly, when reporting the pre-saccadic color, participants were more likely to incorrectly report the post-saccadic color under conditions of visual stability versus instability, supporting a probabilistic overwriting mechanism. Together, these results are more consistent with an object-based model, rather than an image-based model of representational updating. Although the present study only focused on transsaccadic updating mechanisms, similar mechanisms are likely to be functional in many common situations where the visual system needs to establish perceptual continuity across disruptions and changes.

Charlton, James. "Catch | Bounce : towards a relational ontology of the digital in art practice." Thesis, University of Plymouth, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10026.1/10377.
Full textAbstract:
How might ‘the digital’ be conceived of in an ‘expanded field’ of art practice, where ontology is flattened such that it is not defined by a particular media? This text, together with an installation of art work at the Exhibition Research Lab, Liverpool John Moores University (13-24 March), constitutes the thesis submission as a whole, such that in the practice of ‘reading’ the thesis, each element remains differentiated from the other and makes no attempt to ‘represent’ the other. In negating representation, such practices present a ‘radical’ rethinking of the digital as a differentiated in-itself, one that is not defined solely by entrenched computational narratives derived from set theory. Rather, following Nelson Goodman’s nominalistic rejection of class constructs, ‘the digital’ is thus understood in onto-epistemic terms as being syntactically and semantically differentiated (Languages of Art 161). In the context of New Zealand Post-object Art practices of the late 1960s, as read through Jack Burnham’s systems thinking, such a digitally differentiated ontology is conceived of in terms of the how of practice, rather than what of objects (“Systems Aesthetics”). After Heidegger, such a practice is seen as an event of becoming realised by the method of formal indication, such that what is concealed is brought forth as a thing-in-itself (The Event; Phenomenological Interpretations 26). As articulated through the researcher’s own sculptural practice – itself indebted to Post-object Art – indication is developed as an intersubjective method applicable to both artists and audience. However, the constraints imposed on the thing-in-itself by the Husserlian phenomenological tradition are also taken as imposing correlational limitations on the ‘digital’, such that it is inherently an in-itself for-us and thus not differentiated in-itself. To resolve such Kantian dialectics, the thesis draws on metaphysical arguments put forward by contemporary speculative ontologies – in particular the work of Quentin Meillassoux and Tristan Garcia (After Finitude; Form and Object). Where these contemporary continental philosophies provide a means of releasing events from the contingency of human ‘reason’, the thesis argues for a practice of ‘un-reason’ in which indication is recognized as being contingent on speculation. Practice, it is argued, was never reason’s alone to determine. Instead, through the ‘radical’ method of speculative indication, practice is asserted as the event through which the differentiated digital is revealed as a thing-in-itself of itself and not for us.

"Guidance in a 360-degree video with the help of special effects: Attracting attention to a specific object or segment in a 360-degree video using graphical elements, lights, and colours." Thesis, Linnéuniversitetet, Institutionen för datavetenskap och medieteknik (DM), 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:lnu:diva-77684.
Full textAbstract:
360-degree videos offer an immersive experience which is hard to find in traditional videos. The entire scene is floating around the viewer, and a feeling of being there is common. However, something traditional videos have compared to 360-degree videos is control of the outcome. The filmmakers decide what they want to show and how they want to guide the viewer. The control is still an issue in 360-degree videos. In this thesis will the focus be on how a viewer can be attracted to an important part of a scene. This work is concentrated on methods and techniques in the post-production part of video production. The techniques are mainly video effects. The user tests involved 16 participants with different backgrounds including an expert in the field. The participants watched three 360-degree videos each with the same content, but with different techniques made in the post-production part to guide them. It was one video with graphical elements to guide them, one with light effects and one with colour effects. Interviews gave a deeper insight into the participant's experience and opinions on the three videos. The video effects affected the participants positively and negatively. The participants were mostly satisfied with effects consisting of graphical elements but not as much with colour. The users lost a bit of their freedom to explore a scene with the light effects, but they were useful when it came to guiding towards something. The participants did find the guiding lines and spotlight as the most suitable methods to attract attention; the spotlight was the most preferred of the two. The red circle effect and the warm/cold colour effect was the least preferred, the warm/cold colour effect as the least preferable. The effects helped to attract the viewer to a section of the video, and the user's got a better understanding of the concept. However, more research need to be done to draw attention towards something. A combination of elements like light effects and graphical element effects could improve the post-production part. Research in the future regarding the opportunity to combine techniques from an entire video production needs to be conducted for a significantly more effective way to attract attention to an important side of a scene, without the viewers losing their freedom of exploring, it includes both the post-production side but also methods to attract attention in a set.

Esta dissertação propõe-se a analisar possíveis interfaces entre a Arquitetura e a Escultura, abordando suas produções realizadas a partir da segunda metade do século XX, período que se caracterizou pelo rompimento de inúmeros paradigmas teóricos e conceituais. Considerando essas manifestações a partir de suas naturezas tridimensionais, busca-se, segundo um enfoque transdisciplinar, apurar significados e novos parâmetros de análise compartilhados por ambas expressões, num processo recíproco de influências conceituais e práticas. A pesquisa divide-se em duas partes. Na primeira delas - Conceitos Tridimensionais - são estudados os fatos históricos e os conceitos filosóficos que influenciaram as concepções teóricas das produções da arquitetura e da escultura desse período. Nesta parte também são estudadas algumas transformações específicas dos universos dessas manifestações, consideradas determinantes para a constituição das obras posteriormente destacadas. Na segunda parte - Processos Tridimensionais - é realizada a leitura de algumas obras arquitetônicas e escultóricas fundamentadas sobre novas organizações produtivas estabelecidas no período estudado. Partindo do repertório transdisciplinar apresentado na primeira parte sobre os conceitos criativos de ambas as manifestações, são definidos parâmetros de análise que abrangem temas fundamentais das interfaces mencionadas. Os conceitos de Paisagem, Tempo, Estrutura, Matéria e Forma são estendidos em definições que conduzem a leitura de cada uma das obras selecionadas. Com isso, são estabelecidos novos conceitos cognitivos dessas construções, demonstrando como se influenciam mutuamente, compartilhando ou não suas intenções. Também é revelado o potencial advindo da proximidade entre Arquitetura e Escultura, oferecendo referenciais teóricos e práticos para que possam ser explorados em futuras produções. Sintetizando os procedimentos específicos destes atos tridimensionais e os conceitos filosóficos de leitura, busca-se demonstrar, a partir da densidade das obras escolhidas, atos singulares da existência humana.This dissertation aims to analyze possible interfaces between Architecture and Sculpture, approaching their productions made from the second half of the twentieth century, a period that was characterized by disruption of numerous theoretical and conceptual paradigms. Considering these manifestations from their three-dimensional nature, according to a transdisciplinary approach, it seeks to establish new meanings and analysis parameters shared by both expressions, in a reciprocal process of conceptual and practical influences. The research is divided into two parts. The first part - Three-Dimensional Concepts - refers to the historical facts and philosophical concepts that have influenced the theoretical concepts of architectural and sculptural production of this period. In this part are also studied some transformations of the specific universes of these manifestations, which are considered crucial to the creation of the works later analyzed. In the second part - Three-Dimensional Processes - it is presented a reading of some architectural and sculptural works based on new productive organizations established in the studied period. From the transdisciplinary repertoire presented in the first part about the creative concepts of both manifestations analysis, parameters are defined to embrace fundamental themes of the mentioned interfaces. The concepts of Landscape, Time, Structure, Matter and Form are extended in definitions that lead to the reading of each of the selected works. Thus, new cognitive concepts of these constructions are established demonstrating how they influence each other, sharing their intentions or not. The potential arising from the proximity of these two expressions is also shown, offering theoretical and practical references so that they can be explored in future productions. Summarizing the specific procedures of these three-dimensional acts and the philosophical reading concepts, it is aimed to show, from the profundity of the chosen works, single acts of human existence.

Full textAbstract:
This research paper aims to make evident a relationship between Post-
Optimal Object design and New Media Art. This objective is approached by
reflecting on the respective disciplines’ theoretical and practical area of
exploration. In Chapter One, the concept of the Post-Optimal Object, which is
a proponent of design, is introduced and categorised, in order for it to be
discussed in relation to New Media Art. In Chapter Two, three art historical
descriptions utilised by Francis Halsall, which include: the dematerialisation of
the art object; intermedia; and the post-medium condition, will be used to
contextualise New Media Art, and serve towards its discussion with the
concept of the Post-Optimal Object. There will also be a contemporary
reflection of these two disciplines, which include a genre of New Media Art,
referred to as interactive digital installation; and a genre of the concept of the
Post-Optimal Object, which is ‘responsive’. In support of the proposed
arguments of this research paper, four case studies will be utilised for
illustrative purposes. In Chapter Three, a New Media Artwork, entitled
Overflow (2000), by artist Laura Nova, will be discussed in comparison to a
Post-Optimal Object case study entitled, The Technological Dreams Series
(2007), by the design duo, Dunne & Raby. In Chapter Four, two additional
case studies will be compared and discussed: Standards and Double

In recent year, three-dimensional laser scanner technology with high precision and high efficiency constantly updated. It’s using to modeling the building, heritage conservation, monitor bridge deformation, post-earthquake reconnaissance, coastal terrain retreat monitoring, large-scale terrain change monitoring and etc. It has gradually replaced the traditional measurement technology. However, currently technologies in the large number of scattered point cloud processing applications are concentrated in specific areas such as building models or point cloud data simulation. And the point cloud data will contain a lot of noise to the need for further processing. So the application of point cloud data is in the research and development stage, needs sustainable development. This study is divided into two directions, namely, automatic object recognition and post-earthquake reconnaissance. The first theme focuses on the automatic identification of specific objects from the scattered cloud data, the original point cloud data operated according to the set of calculation strategy. Using of region grow method will be scattered point cloud data classification. And then use all kinds of algorithms, such as boundary extraction method to extract the characteristics of clustering group. The final cross-match point group feature to recognize particular object. The latter theme mainly by investigation the disaster caused by the earthquake. Study the structural damage analysis caused by seismic force, Such as structural deformation and displacement, surface damage, records and Extraction of the earthquake induced large landslide. And put forward specific damage assessment, quantitative indicators. The results show that the feasibility of automatic identification of specific objects, and several quantitative assessment results can be used to assess structural damage.

The primary goal of this research is to develop a visual post-processor for inelastic static and dynamic structural analysis of three dimension systems. This program is entitled Visualization of Inelastic Structural Analysis for 3D Systems or VISA3D. The VISA3D program assists users in visualizing the structural responses obtained from a general purpose structural analysis program entitled Platform of Inelastic Structural Analysis for 3D Systems (PISA3D). The VISA3D program has been designed and developed using the object-oriented and three dimension computer graphics techniques in the Microsoft/Windows environment. The VISA3D is implemented using Visual C++. And MFC library is used to construct Windows program. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the Multiple Document Interface (MDI) supported by Windows, VISA3D allows users to concurrently work on multiple application examples and windows. It also supports various user-interfaces, such as pull-down menus, pop-up menus, tool bar, accelerators and mouse, to facilitate various kinds of post-processing tasks. In addition to display the structural model, including the nodes, elements and boundary conditions, VISA3D is capable of statically or dynamically displaying the mode shapes, deformations, extents and locations of plastic hinges of the structure in various colors and icons. The nodal velocity, acceleration and system energy distribution time histories can also be displayed.

Dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Geospatial TechnologiesLand use / land cover (LULC) change detection based on remote sensing (RS) data has been established as an indispensible tool for providing suitable and wide-ranging information to various decision support systems for natural resource management and sustainable development. LULC change is one of the major influencing factors for landscape changes. There are many change detection techniques developed over decades, in practice, it is still difficult to develop a suitable change detection method especially in case of urban and urban fringe areas where several impacts of complex factors are found including rapid changes from rural land uses to residential, commercial, industrial and recreational uses. Although these changes can be monitored using several techniques of RS application, adopting a suitable technique to represent the changes accurately is a challenging task. There are a number of challenges in RS application for analysis of LULC change detection. This study applies objectoriented (OO) method for mapping LULC and performing change detection analysis using post-classification technique.(...)

Text in AfrikaansDuring her theoretical training as an educational psychologist, the researcher became acquainted with the relations theory. The researcher became aware of the fact that persons who have experienced psychological trauma, commonly practice irrational inner dialogue/self talk. From her own experience, it also became clear that traumatized persons deal with their trauma more effectively when they have good relations with others. Due to the fact that these aspects are significant aspects of the relations theory, the researcher began to wonder whether this theory could possibly be of value in therapy with traumatized persons. On the basis of a qualitative study of limited scope, it was found that, with certain reservations, the educational psychological relations theory could be a workable theory in therapy and that relations therapy could make a valuable contribution to the success of therapy with traumatized persons.
In die loop van haar teoretiese opleiding as opvoedkundige sielkundige het die navorser kennis gemaak met die relasieteorie. Die navorser het bewus geword van die feit dat mense wat 'n sielkundige trauma in hulle lewens beleef het, oor die algemeen irrasionele selfspraak beoefen. Na aanleiding van haar eie ervaring, het dit ook duidelik geword dat getraumatiseerde persone meer effekttef deur hulle trauma kan werk indien hulle relasies toereikend is. Omdat hierdie aspekte juis baie gewig dra in die relasieteorie, het die navorser begin wonder of die relasieteorie nie moontlik van waarde kan wees in terapie met getraumatiseerdes nie. Op grond van 'n kwaiitatiewe studie van beperkte omvang is daar bevind dat, met sekere voorbehoude, die opvoedkundig-sielkundige relasieteorie wel 'n werkbare teorie in terapie kan wees en dat relasieterapie 'n waardevolle bydrae tot die sukses van terapie met getraumatiseerdes kan iewer.

Full textAbstract:
The Study of Theology plays a crucial role in the construction of a sound theology in this post liberation era of Southern Africa. This exercise is conformed to the academic learning and creates an environment where theology can dialogue with other disciplines. It helps in the critical reflection on the issue of God and human beings as the object of theology in African context.
The study of theology and the doing of theology are methods which bring praxis and theory together. The doing of theology is the daily work of a pastor in a congregation. It is an exercise that put theological theories into practice. This is a methodology that guides the process of developing a contextual theology in Southern Africa. It is a process of taking theology from classroom to the congregations the community. The study of theology and the doing theology are soul mates. They work hand in hand to address contemporary situations. Human beings should know their physical organic environment. They are the object of theology. People experience God from natural science. Liberation theologies e.g. Africanist, Black and Women/Feminist theologies should use new approaches in order to meet the post liberation error challenges.
The wholesome approach is another alternative to be used by these theologies. The approach is based on the interconnectedness of God, human beings and physical organic universe (Theanthropocosmic principle). The principle of Theanthropocosmic helps to direct theology in Southern Africa to be contextual and universal. Some new contextual theologies are born because of the theanthropocosmic approaches to modern challenges. The modern society is build under principles of democracy, good governance, peace and tranquility. The major role of theology is to ensure that the society enjoys those principles.
Theology is directed to a group and individuals. The social, political and economical challenges should be approached as a group. The wholesome approach is an appropriate method to address challenges imposed by globalization ideologies. The increase rate of poverty in Southern Africa brings up other social illness in communities e.g. corruptions, crime, diseases. There is a need to engage theology in economic globalization. The concept of Botho calls everyone in the community to participate in the fight against these social illnesses in the society. Theology is obliged to restore economic justice. The Church is encouraged to participate in the cultural liberation and renewal. She is compelled to do mission work in this paradigms of cultural changes. African renaissance is an urgent thing to be implemented order to overcome challenges imposed by globalization in Southern Africa.Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology

punctuation of many voices within this field of study. The methodology of the
investigation is descriptive phenomenology and Colaizzis’ steps in descriptive
phenomenology (map) are used to discover and describe the different template theories
(the territory) that are unique to each of the four child psychiatric nurses who were
interviewed. Following this, a story is punctuated, which is referred to as the structural
synthesis. It is the heartbeat of the investigation. The dissertation concludes by reflecting
on the paradox of how the invisibility of the child psychiatric nurses allowed for the
visibility of the dissertation and encourages the reader to ask pivotal questions about the

(in English) This dissertation paper deals with the transformation of the relationship letter and image in the Czechsoslovakian art in the 1950s and 1960s, interpreted from the point of view of the cultural and social events not as the history of art, but history of reality representation. The objective of the paper is to create a more complex view of various levels of integration of letter and image in domestic environment, so it approaches the phenomena of letter and image from a specific interpretation point of view based on three main lines. Mapping the phenomena of letter and image in the context of that period in Czechoslovakia, which preceded work structuralizing, was the base of the first interpretation line which bases the core of work on four social "activators", which, in the mind of an artist, activated the need to incarnate letter and image. Since the subject of the paper is the letter as a material manifestation of the language, the second interpretations line follows the purposeful modification of the language structure between the signifiant and signifié, which occurs in visual imaging. The third interpretation line puts the first two into a broader, aesthetic and philosophical context due to which, more complex language structures entering the art of work can be identified.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation is devoted to a monographic processing of the work of sculptress Maria Bartuszová (1936, Prague - 1996, Košice). Methodologically, it is mainly based on the compilation and evaluation of knowledge from the in-depth research of the first list of works of M. Bartuszová "Catalogue Raisonné 2012-2018", Collection of drawings and photographs from the Archive of M. Bartuszová, biography, exhibitions and bibliography. It is divided into four chapters, in which it deals with the sculpture of M. Bartuszová, its transformations in the period of her ceramics studies at the Academy of Fine Arts, Design and Architecture during the 1950s in Prague, continues by tracking her sculptural beginnings since 1961, and it deals with the circumstances of her relocation to Košice where she lived most of her life. It tracks her work during the normalization period of the 1970s until the end of the 1980s, when the totalitarian regime ended with the Velvet revolution. It explores the reasons why her work was little exhibited and also why it was little known and reflected by the professional circles. Based on the process of assembling parts of the organism of her oeuvre reconstructs technological experimental procedures, original terminology of the sculptor, creative intentions, dating of works and their...

Full textAbstract:
The significance of the Mildura Sculpture Triennials from 1961 to 1978 lies in their role as critical nodal points in an expanding and increasingly complex system of institutions and agents that emerge, expand and interact within the Australian art world. These triennial events provide a valuable case-study of the developments in sculptural practice in Australia and offer a close reading of the genesis of an autonomous field of visual art practice; a genesis dependent upon the expansion of the new tertiary education policies for universities and colleges of advanced education that arose in response to the generational pressure created by the post war baby boom.
Given that there was virtually no market for modern sculpture in Australia at the inauguration of these triennials in the 1960s, the extent of the impact of the pressures and expectations of a burgeoning young population upon tertiary education, specifically the art schools, art history departments and art teacher training and, the expanding desire for cultural fulfilment and rapid developments in the cultural institution sector, is delineated at these triennial events. The expansion of the education system and the consequent expanded employment opportunities this offered to young sculptors in the late 1960s and throughout the 1970s, posited the first real challenge and alternative economy to the existing heterogeneous market economy for artistic works.
In order to reinscribe the Mildura Sculpture Triennials into recent Australian art history as an important contributor to the institutional development of Australian contemporary art practice, I have drawn upon the reflexive methodological framework of French cultural theorist and sociologist Pierre Bourdieu and his explanation of the factors necessary for the genesis and development of autonomous fields of cultural production. Bourdieu's method provides an interpretative framework with which to identify these components necessary to the development of an institutional identity - the visual arts profession. This autonomous field parallels, conflicts with and at times connects with the heterogeneous art market economy, depending on the strength of its relative autonomy from the field of economic and political power. However, this is beyond the scope of this thesis.
Mildura's significance lies in the way that the triennial gatherings provide a view into the disparate components that would connect to and eventually create an autonomous field of artistic production, that of the visual arts profession. However, the evolution of each of the components, which were the bedrock of Mildura, was driven by its own needs and necessities and not by the needs of the larger field of which they would eventually become a part. Bourdieu's understanding of the ontologic complicitiy between dispositions and the development of an autonomous field offers a non-teleological approach to the significance of Mildura as a site to map these rapid changes and also Mildura's subsequent displacement from the historical record.

This thesis focuses on the development of Gestalt guidelines for alternative
caregivers to enhance attachment with the traumatised child. The researcher
made use of the intervention research process, consisting of six phases. For the
purpose of this study of limited scope, the intervention research process was
completed up to step one of the fourth phase. The target group in this study was
alternative caregivers of traumatised children where attachment difficulties
existed. `Alternative caregivers' refers to people who provide care to these
children, either on a voluntary basis or professionally. Focus groups, field notes
and observation were used as data collection method, and Creswell's spiral was
used to analyse data. Not all aspects regarding attachment were covered in this
study and only relevant Gestalt principles were discussed. Gestalt guidelines with
an observational system were finally developed. The views of the respondents,
those of experts and a literature review were incorporated into the guidelines, as
well as some functional elements of existing treatments.Practical Theology
