Resumo:

It is the author’s thesis that religious communication which is shaped by narrative has consequences that are different from communication based on persuasion by argument. While ‘narrative’ can include both written and spoken communication, this study attempts to concentrate on oral narrative communication in a group situation within a local church congregation. It is also an assumption of this thesis that there is a common belief that narrative is subordinate to rhetoric. This thesis sets out to suggest otherwise: that while both provide distinctive ways of ordering experience the two are irreducible to one another. Thus there is a need to reimagine the narrative communication debate. This thesis suggests this reimagining be called ‘narrative/symbolic’ – thus emphasising its narrativity. Narrative /symbolic communication : encourages reflection but is different from analytical, rationalistic thinking; is heuristic by nature, searching for likely accounts rather than definitions and conclusions; establishes an awareness of/ communion with the world of the other rather than just seeking after/interpreting meaning; has potential to broaden human conversation by repudiating mere individualism; and, is more faithful to the general shape of the religious tradition which is Christianity. Such a ‘style’ should shape religious communication in the electronic media-saturated age.

The older population is increasing, as is life expectancy. Technical devices are becoming more widespread and used for many everyday tasks. Knowledge about new technology is important to remain as an active and independent part of the society. However, if an old user group should have equal access to this technology, new demands will be placed on the design of interfaces and devices. With respect to old users it is and will be important to develop technical devices and interfaces that take the age-related decline in physical and cognitive abilities into account. The aim of this work was to investigate to what extent the age-related cognitive decline affects performance on different computer-related tasks and the use of different interfaces. With respect to the use of computer interfaces, two studies were conducted. In the first study, the information was presented with a hierarchical structure. In the second study the information was presented as a 3D-environment, and it was also investigated how an overview map could support navigation. The third study examined the age-related cognitive decline in the use of a small mobile phone display with a hierarchical information structure. The results from the studies showed that the most pronounced age-related difference was found in the use of the 3D-environment. Within this environment, prior experience was found to have the largest impact on performance. Regarding the hierarchical information structures, prior experience seemed to have a larger impact on performance of easy tasks, while age and cognitive abilities had a larger impact on performance of more complex tasks. With respect to navigation aids, the overview map in the 3D-environment did not reduce the age-differences; however, it contributed to a better perceived orientation and reduced the feeling of being lost.

COORDENAÇÃO DE APERFEIÇOAMENTO DO PESSOAL DE ENSINO SUPERIOR
Das muitas tendências arquitetônicas da atualidade, algumas têm sua origem diretamente relacionada à realidade digital. Essa nova arquitetura - que explora as novas possibilidades que as mídias digitais trazem, ou desenvolve maneiras de fazê-las adaptarem-se à materialidade do mundo, ou até mesmo destrói os mitos criados pela sociedade digital - pede uma revisão de suas definições a partir de novas posturas culturais e ideológicas que rompem com as noções tradicionais de arquitetura. Os novos conceitos que investigamos estão associados ao design de produto, à publicidade e à arte eletrônica. Esta pesquisa discute as transformações por que passa a arquitetura com o advento da sociedade da informação, analisa as teorias que a alimentam e suas principais características, e aponta similaridades dos projetos e obras arquitetônicos com os de design. A construção da imagem urbana atual sofreu alterações e sugerimos que o pensamento arquitetônico também deva ser atualizado.
Among the many current architectural trends, some originate directly from the digital reality. This new architecture - sometimes exploring the new possibilities the digital brings, or destroying the myths it creates, also developing ways of making it adapt to the materiality of the world, but always using it as fuel for its projects - demands a revision of its definitions from new cultural and ideological postures that break up with traditional notions. New architectural concepts are associated to industrial design, publicity and electronic art. The present research discusses some characteristics of the architecture that mutates with the advent of information society, analyses theories that feeds it and indicates similarities of projects and works of architecture with those of industrial design. The construction of current urban image has been altered and we suggest that architectural thinking must follow.

This thesis deals with the representation of emblem literature in digital media in the modern age. A discussion of issues related to new media such as the advantages and disadvantages of digital media as well as copyright issues is presented. There follows a discussion of different technologies related to modern means of publishing, notably Acrobat technology, HTML, XHTML, and XML, and how they could be best used to serve the goal of dealing with emblems by means of digital media. A discussion of digitizing and indexing emblems as well as CD-ROM technology is also presented. This leads to an evaluation of some Internet web sites and a CD-ROM edition. The thesis concludes with a summary evaluating the success of modern attempts of presenting emblem literature in modern digital media.

Older adults speak 20-30% slower than younger adults. A decline in articulatory speed capacity has often been suggested; however, direct investigations on speech motor performance have rarely been conducted. Therefore, this study sought to determine if jaw speed capacity is reduced in older adults. This study included 36 female participants in four age groups: young adult, middle-aged, young-old, and very old. Each participant completed a jaw oscillation task at seven metronome paces. Similar to previous studies on upper limb speed capacity, participants were asked to tap a fixed target with their jaw at each metronome beat. The metronome pace determined the jaw movement duration and the target determined the jaw movement excursions during the experimental conditions. Jaw peak speeds, excursion, and movement durations during the jaw closing strokes were compared between the four age groups. Study outcomes showed that jaw speed capacity was significantly lower in the youngest age group relative to all other age groups. Jaw speed capacity did not significantly differ between middle-aged, young-old, and very old adults. These findings contrasted previous reports of aging studies on limb speed capacity. Further, these findings on jaw speed capacity suggested that jaw peak speed may not be a factor that contributes to a slowed speaking rate in older adults. In the future, jaw speed capacity of male speakers needs to be investigated. Further, aging-related changes in tongue and lip speed capacities also should be determined to gain more comprehensive insights in physiologic factors that may affect speaking rates of older adults.

Resumo:

Cranial suture closure has long been recognized as a character of human development related to aging. For this reason, it has been utilized for forensic and archaeological studies to determine the age at death of unidentified and skeletonized individuals. Despite remaining a popular age indicator today, studies dating back to the 19th Century have published contradictory results on the nature of this relationship. Many authors have concluded that cranial suture closure exhibits, at most, a sketchy relationship with age and should not be used as an age indicator, whereas others have supported its inclusion despite a wide range of variability. Traditional methods for assessing cranial suture closure all defined degrees of obliteration and assigned discrete scores. However, with the development of technology, new techniques may be capable of better assessing the association of cranial suture closure in age. The current study is an attempt to address cranial suture closure with a new quantitative method that utilizes laser technology. 196 black male crania from the Hamann-Todd Collection were observed. The suture landmarks established by Meindl and Lovejoy were recorded standard scores and were also scanned with the laser device, which quantifies the amount of reflected light off of a surface. The results showed that the laser device accurately and consistently quantifies light reflected through a suture joint, especially when calibrated to the surrounding bone. A general trend for the laser measurements to decrease with age was observed. It was concluded that a relationship between suture closure and age does exist, but other factors affecting suture closure should not be overlooked. Further application of the laser method, through the refinement of data collection techniques and the device used, may increase what is known on the structure and development of the skull, and may be able to more precisely elucidate the tenuous relationship between suture closure and age.

Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1994.
Includes bibliographical references (leaf 67).
In the wake of the exploding information and communication technology, this thesis explores the role of a civic architecture which restores on the one hand a traditional public institution, while on the other hand represents a functional information exchange in the Electronic Age. The proposed Information Resource Center is modeled after the positive social qualities inherent in the "third place". Utilizing the communicative ability of the available technology, the IRC supports the proposition of an intermediate realm, between the public and the private, which would restore community in our lives. This exploration begins with a look at Ray Oldenberg's analysis of the third place whose socially redeeming nature is beneficial to both the individual and to the collective. Such intermediate places have now been replaced by a new paradigm; the notion of cyberspace, a gathering place that is not rooted in space or time, has became popularized. Yet its accessible characteristics are still bounded by a structured social environment. Architecture's role then is to adapt and to accommodate while further defining a changing cultural landscape. In these times of rapid technological and social changes, people search for continuity and meaning in their surroundings . The design for the IRC addresses their need for community by providing them the resources to reach out to others virtually and as an intermediate place where an informal public life can be fostered.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

This study examines orthographic variation in synchronous computer-mediated French discourse. All nontraditional variations of selected frequently occuring items are quantified in order to provide an etic (i.e., from an external perspective) analysis. The primary variable of interest is age since this study focuses on providing a comparison of chat participants in their twenties versus those in their fifties. The widespread claim is that younger people communicate using more informal and/or nontraditional forms than older people; however, the results of the present study suggest that this is not always the case. The main finding of the present study is that the twentysomethings and the fiftysomethings produce the nontraditional orthography in a similar fashion in 52.2% of the terms, and in a non-similar fashion in 47.8% of the terms. Following the presentation and discussion of the results, directions for future research are provided.

Resumo:

The creative industries sector faces a constantly changing context characterised by the speed of the development and deployment of digital information systems and Information Communications Technologies (ICT) on a global scale. This continuous digital disruption has had significant impact on the whole value chain of the sector: creation and production; discovery and distribution; and consumption of cultural goods and services. As a result, creative enterprises must evolve business and operational models and practices to be sustainable. Enterprises of all scales, type, and operational model are affected, and all sectors face ongoing digital disruption. Management consultancy practitioners and business strategy academics have called for new strategy development frameworks and toolkits, fit for a continuously changing world. This thesis investigates a novel approach to organisational change appropriate to the digital age, in the context of the creative sector in Scotland. A set of concepts, methods, tools, and processes to generate theoretical learning and practical knowing was created to support enterprises to digitally adapt through undertaking journeys of change and organisational development. The framework is called The AmbITion Approach. It was developed by blending participatory action research (PAR) methods and modern management consultancy, design, and creative practices. Empirical work also introduced to the framework Coghlan and Rashford's change categories. These enabled the definition and description of the extent to which organisations developed: whether they experienced first order (change), second order (adaptation) or third order (transformation) change. Digital research tools for inquiry were tested by a pilot study, and then embedded in a longitudinal study over two years of twentyone participant organisations from Scotland's creative sector. The author applied and investigated the novel approach in a national digital development programme for Scotland's creative industries. The programme was designed and delivered by the author and ran nationally between 2012-14. Detailed grounded thematic analysis of the data corpus was undertaken, along with analysis of rich media case studies produced by the organisations about their change journeys. The results of studies on participants, and validation criteria applied to the results, demonstrated that the framework triggers second (adaptation) and third order change (transformation) in creative industry enterprises. The AmbITion Approach framework is suitable for the continuing landscape of digital disruption within the creative sector. The thesis contributes to practice the concepts, methods, tools, and processes of The AmbITion Approach, which have been empirically tested in the field, and validated as a new framework for business transformation in a digital age. The thesis contributes to knowledge a theoretical and conceptual framework with a specific set of constructs and criteria that define first, second, and third order change in creative enterprises, and a robust research and action framework for the analysis of the quality, validity and change achieved by action research based development programmes. The thesis additionally contributes to the practice of research, adding to our understanding of the value of PAR and design thinking approaches and creative practices as methods for change.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

This thesis will argue that information technology (IT) has given rise to a cultural mythology which offers a competing theological model to the model offered by kerygmatic Christian theology. The theological model advocated by IT culture regards human technical creativity and material culture to be the means by which ultimate concern can be mediated and satisfied. This model will be judged inauthentic, when theological authenticity is measured in terms of a theology’s ability to point beyond itself – to the transcendent and the infinite – as they symbol of that which is truly ultimate. This inauthentic ‘techno-theology’ purveyed by IT culture will be contrasted with a theology of technology, which seeks to engage technology hermeneutically by finding the meaning of technology at the nexus of its use and invention, and by judging the appropriateness of technology against the norm of the Christian kerygma. It is hoped that by contrasting techno-theology with a kerygmatic theology of technology, that an ethics of technological practices may be approached. The context for this thesis will be the contemporary information technology culture, running from roughly the mid 1980’s to the present, with specific attention given to the phenomenon of posthuman discourse to which this culture has contributed. Of the four types of information technology examined in this thesis (actual/realistic, idealised, imagined, and speculative), examples of actual IT will be taken from cybernetics research and computer science; examples of idealised IT will be taken from philosophical and theological treatments of virtual reality, cognitive science and artificial intelligence research; examples of imagined IT will be taken from science fiction literature and film; and examples of speculative IT will be taken from speculative science with a specific interest in posthumanism and radical life extension.

Texto completo da fonte

Resumo:

In the age of print, the book has been considered the criterial medium of communication. Western children have been taught to read books in culturally specific ways. For example, reading education as a field of academic enquiry has been at times based on the premise that print is the predominant medium for carrying author messages, and that these messages are relayed through linear organisations of alphabetic print codes in a left-to-right and top-to-bottom orthodoxy. But as the contemporary textual landscape is reshaped in a post-typographic age, it becomes important to recognise that print is now only one of many media channels in our culture. The thesis argues that the textual artefacts and accompaniments of a computer technology make a significant difference to the way in which texts are read. For example, interactive multimedia texts have created reading contexts where information is relayed through nonlinear and integrated compositions of multimedia. Additionally, digital structures require forms of interactivity which allow readers to take control over their reading in particular ways. These 'ways' are unlike anything possible with paginated text. In the day-to-day pedagogy of schools, reading remains almost exclusively bound to sets of protocols which restrict text and reading to the print page and enduring traditions of the author-controlled message and formulaic, linear structures. The study' s specific concerns are with the textual practices of two eight year old children in their home and school contexts. Although the study makes no claims to generalisibility, the male and female case studies are thought to be typical of many children of their age group. Indeed an extended implication of the study concerns the effects on children of discontinuities resulting from the predominance of electronically-based reading experiences at home, and the predominance of print reading experiences at school. The thesis foregrounds the inseparability of affective and cognitive elements in research about texts and reading. The effects of the human and textual environments on children are dynamic and powerful, and especially for young children, learning to read efficiently and meaningfully is dependent on their developing positive attitudes and emotional states. The study is therefore located at the intersection of technologically different texts, the cognitive reading processes which apply to them, and the affective factors which have influenced two children's reading. A case study methodology is employed to reveal the observable differences employed by the two subjects as they move across interactive multimedia digital texts, and exclusively print texts. The study is located in a contested field which necessitates some degree of clarification of the beliefs and foci of this thesis. Only a relatively short time ago it was inconceivable that anyone would see the need to argue passionately that books epitomize the experience of reading, or that digital texts degrade that experience (Birkerts, 1994). Today, however, there are those who would argue the redundancy of the print book (Stannard, 1997). The thesis makes no suggestion that educational practices associated with teaching children to read linear strings of print are obsolete, nor that the silent, solitary contemplation of the written word is now passe. Nor does the study suggest that the flexible text might be a means of relieving what have been for many readers, the traditional burdens entailed in unravelling alphabetic codes. While there can obviously be no embargo on the place of print texts in the classroom, there can be no parallel denial of the emerging importance of multimedia, digital texts in the community lives of children and adults. Therefore the study argues strongly for a radical, immediate extension of classroom texts, technologies and associated reading pedagogies.

Resumo:

Recent high profile retractions – such as the case of Woo Suk Hwang and others – demonstrate that there are still significant issues regarding the reliability of published academic research data. While technological advances offer the potential for greater data re-usability on the Web, models of best practice are yet to be fully re-purposed for a digital age. Employing interdisciplinary web science practices, this thesis asks what makes for excellent quality academic research across the sciences, social sciences and humanities. This thesis uses a case study approach to explore five existing digital data platforms within chemistry, marine environmental sciences and modern languages research. It evaluates their provenance metadata, legal, technological and socio cultural frameworks. This thesis further draws on data collected from semi-structured interviews conducted with eighteen individuals connected to these five data platforms. The participants have a wide range of expertise in the following areas: data management, data policy, academia, law and technology. Through the interdisciplinary literature review and cross-comparison of the three case studies, this thesis identifies the five main principles for improved modelling of best practice for academic research data re-usage both now and in the future. These principles are: (1) sustainability, (2) working towards a common understanding, (3) accreditation, (4) discoverability, and (5) a good user experience. It also reveals nine key grey areas that require further investigation.

La concurrence est en voie d’extinction dans l’industrie de la Presse Quotidienne Régionale en France et des grands journaux « metropolitan » des Etats-Unis. La concurrence est un débat économique et sociétal récurrent dès qu’il s’agit de médias. La pluralité des voix est considérée à tort ou à raison comme un des piliers de la démocratie représentative. Elle est protégée par des lois en France et aux Etats-Unis visant à réguler la concentration. Force est de constater que ces textes restent sans efficacité sur le terrain. Les économistes sont partagés quant à l’effet de la concentration sur les affaires. Certains soulignent une baisse du lectorat//audience dans les départements en situation de monopole. La corrélation dominante cause/effet n’a jamais été prouvée, dans la mesure où le déclin de la presse a d’autres raisons. Les partisans de la concentration avancent les avantages financiers de cette situation, principalement des économies d’échelle et la possibilité de fixer les prix hors de la réalité d’un marché concurrentiel. Mais cette époque est révolue. Notre sujet est pourtant pionnier au sens où la concurrence redevient la règle sur le marché de le publicité numérique et également des «informations ». Des starts-up se multiplient aux Etats-Unis défiant les groupes historiques dans une compétition certes encore très asymétrique, La France semble toujours en retard quant à cette émergence d’entrepreneurs régionaux. A travers des études de cas, nous tenterons de prouver que la concurrence marketing et éditoriale a encore un effet dopant sur les ventes « papier » (compétition Ouest-France et Télégramme ou sur Chicago à moindre échelle)
Due to concentration, in the United States and France, competition is about to be eradicated in the local and metropolitan newspaper industry. Some scholars regret the lack of pluralism which is historically the function of the press in a representative democracy. Pluralism is highly regulated by the states, but laws could not prevent concentration. Economists are divided about the impact of concentration regarding business. Some point out that circulation has dropped in newly monopolistic areas. But they do not provide the undoubtedly proof of a correlation between those two facts. Economies of scale and financial benefits (price-fixing) of a monopolistic position may justify concentration on an economic level. Some companies have enjoyed double-digit profit while in a monopolistic position. But this time is over. The emergence of the Internet has generated a highly competitive market regarding advertising and news business. Our topic is thus not lamenting the good old days of competition, but it is pioneering. In the United States, many start-ups, mostly non-profit, challenge the legacy regional and metropolitan newsgroups the same way that already big groups do nationwide, such as Buzzfeed or Quartz or Vox. Entrepreneurs, in a Schumpeterian meaning, strive to replace stagecoach owners and build the railways of the future. The trend is much less clear in the French case.Our research wants to assert that marketing and full editorial competition still boosts circulation and business (Brittany in France) and is an unavoidable rendezvous for the legacy groups in the digital news era because they are forced to abandon the corporate culture of the past

Sarcopenia, loss of skeletal muscle in older adults, can lead to serious health consequences. Several non-pharmacological strategies have been suggested to prevent sarcopenia, one of which is increased protein consumption above the current RDA and/or reaching a certain threshold (approximately equal to 10 grams of essential amino acids) of quality protein at each meal. This study examined the association between the amount of skeletal muscle mass in older active adults with regard to their total protein intake and essential amino acid threshold frequency (EAATF) (number of meals per day that provided at least 10 grams of essential amino acids). Fifty-one healthy male (n=22) and female (n=29) active older adults participated in this cross-sectional study. Average daily total protein (grams) and EAATF were determined from a seven-day dietary record. Dietary records and subsequent amino acid profiling were analyzed using a computer software program. Daily food records were averaged across seven-days to give an average representation of total protein intake and EAATF. Total and appendicular lean mass (aLM) were determined by Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA). Relative lean mass (RLM, total lean mass/height2) and appendicular lean mass index (aLM/height2) were also calculated. Data were analyzed using Pearson Partial Correlation Coefficients controlling for body weight and physical activity level with an alpha level of 0.05. EAATF (1.1 + 0.6 times/day) was positively associated with RLM (r = 0.621, p < 0.001) as well as aLM index (r = 0.583, p < 0.001). Total protein intake (91.1 + 29.1) was also positively associated with RLM (r = 0.582, p < 0.001) and aLM index (r = 0.598, p < 0.001). Our data suggest that, not only total protein intake, but also consuming a certain threshold of quality protein with each meal throughout a day may be important for maintaining muscle mass during aging.

A fast expanding network of DIY music communities in the UK see digital technologies transforming ways in which part-time amateur musicians are able to collaborate creatively and form alliances, touring and distributing their music to an international audience and expanding the possibilities of a DIY approach to music making beyond its subcultural, micro-cultural past. Creative autonomy and control is sought to be retained and celebrated in shared non- commercial spaces run by the artists themselves. With an interview based approach, this thesis explores the continued importance of gaining a local audience in a digital age, exploring amateur music activities in two very distinct cities. These reveal how local traditions of amateur practice continue to influence musicians and their shared venues, both in their revival and reinvention. How DIY is defined in a digital age is also explored with both observation and interview data revealing the continued legacy of Punk and how this plays a part in DIY’s expanding definition. The approaches and motivations behind amateur musicians seeking out and establishing shared places for their DIY practice reveals a collective striving for creative control and the creative reimagining of disused urban spaces. Whilst there is a commitment to the upkeep of these spaces, there are also essential online activities shared by the amateur musicians that assist their own personal music promotion alongside the networking and expanding of the local DIY communities. This discussion also reveals how the musicians tackle periods of isolation from their peers, as increased opportunities to collaborate remotely with others changes the dynamics of bands and music scenes. In a combining of interview and observational data, the thesis also explores in depth the handcrafting and DIY activities practiced and celebrated in the shared DIY spaces. There is then further discussion as to how the musicians manage their peer networks and how they stay connected to other musicians in their local areas. This reveals more relaxed, open networking tactics widely adopted by amateur musicians in a digital age. There is a continued discussion then as to how the musicians are able to sustain their DIY practices on a part- time basis, with a focus on the co-operative strategies for creating a sense of community, shared values and ambitions amongst the musicians. In conclusion, I draw upon the themes of material, digital, local and global practices, revealing how amateurs seek to protect both a micro-scale, exclusive aspect to their music and opportunities for face-to-face live performance for real engagement with their peers and audiences.

Quality of Service (QoS) measures are the network parameters; delay, jitter, and loss and they do not reflect the actual quality of the service received by the end user. To get an actual view of the performance from a user's perspective, the Quality of the Experience (QoE) measure is now used. Traditionally, QoS network measurements are carried on actual network components, such as the routers and switches since these are the key network components. In this thesis, however, the experimentation has been done on real video traffic. The experimental setup made use of a very popular network tool, Network Emulator (NetEm) created by the Linux Foundation. NetEm allows network emulation without using the actual network devices such as the routers and traffic generator. The common NetEm offered features are those that have been used by the researchers in the past. These have the same limitation as a traditional simulator, which is the inability of NetEm delay jitter model to represent realistic network traffic models, such to reflect the behaviour of real world networks. The NetEm default method of inputting delay and jitter adds or subtracts a fixed amount of delay on the outgoing traffic. NetEm also allows the user to add this variation in a correlated fashion. However, using this technique the outputted packet delays are generated in such a way as to be very limited and hence not much like real internet traffic which has a vast range of delays. The standard alternative that NetEm allows is generate the delays from either a Normal (Gaussian) or Pareto distribution. This research, however, has shown that using a Gaussian or Pareto distribution also has very severe limitations, and these are fully discussed and described in Chapter 5 on page 68 of this thesis. This research adopts another approach that is also allowed (with more difficulty) by NetEm: by measuring a very large number of packet delays generated from a double exponential distribution a packet delay profile is created that far better imitates the actual delays seen in Internet traffic. In this thesis a large set of statistical delay values were gathered and used to create delay distribution tables. Additionally, to overcome another default behaviour of NetEm of re-ordering packets once jitter is implemented, PFIFO queuing discipline has been deployed to retain the original packet order regardless of the highest levels of implemented jitter. Furthermore, this advancement in NetEm's functionality also incorporates the ability to combine delay, jitter, and loss, which is not allowed on NetEm by default. In the literature, no work has been found to have utilised NetEm previously with such an advancement. Focusing on Video On Demand (VOD) it was discovered that the reported QoE may differ widely for users of different age groups, and that the most demanding age group (the youngest) can require an order of magnitude lower PLP to achieve the same QoE than is required by the most widely studied age group of users. A bottleneck TCP model was then used to evaluate the capacity cost of achieving an order of magnitude decrease in PLP, and found it be (almost always) a 3-fold increase in link capacity that was required. The results are potentially very useful to service providers and network designers to be able to provide a satisfactory service to their customers, and in return, maintaining a prosperous business.

Resumo:

The aim of this thesis is to provide an insight into the effects of user age on interactions with smartphones and tablets applications. The study considered two interaction methods to investigate the effects of user age on the usability of smartphones and tablets of different sizes: 1) eye-movements/browsing and 2) touch-gesture interactions. In eye movement studies, an eye tracker was used to trace and record users’ eye movements which were later analysed to understand the effects of age and screen-size on browsing effectiveness. Whilst in gesture interactions, an application developed for smartphones traced and recorded users’ touch-gestures data, which were later analysed to investigate the effects of age and screensize on touch-gesture performance. The motivation to conduct our studies is summarised as follows: 1) increasing number of elderly people in our society, 2) widespread use of smartphone technology across the world, 3) understanding difficulties for elderly when interacting smartphones technology, and 4) provide the existing body of literature with new understanding on the effects of ageing on smartphone usability. The work of this thesis includes five research projects conducted in two stages. Stage One included two researches used eye movement analysis to investigate the effects of user age and the influence of screen size on browsing smartphone interfaces. The first research examined the scan-paths dissimilarity of browsing smartphones applications or elderly users (60+) and younger users (20-39). The results revealed that the scan-paths dissimilarity in browsing smartphone applications was higher for elderly users (i.e., age-driven) than the younger users. The results also revealed that browsing smartphone applications were stimulus-driven rather than screen size-driven. The second study was conducted to understand the difficulties of information processing when browsing smartphone applications for elderly (60+), middle-age (40-59) and younger (20-39) users. The evaluation was performed using three different screen sizes of smartphone and tablet devices. The results revealed that processing of both local and global information on a smartphone/tablet interfaces was more difficult for elderly users than it was for the other age groups. Across all age groups, browsing on the smaller smartphone size proved to be more difficult compared to the larger screen sizes. Stage Two included three researches to investigate: the difficulties in interacting with gesture-based applications for elderly compared to younger users; and to evaluate the possibility of classifying user’s age-group based on on-screen gestures. The first research investigated the effects of user age and screen size on performing gesture swiping intuitively for four swiping directions: down, left, right, and up. The results revealed that the performance of gesture swiping was influenced by user age, screen size, as well as by the swiping orientation. The purpose of the second research was to investigate the effects of user age, screen sizes, and gesture complexity in performing accurate gestures on smartphones and tablets using gesture-based features. The results revealed that the elderly were less accurate, less efficient, slower, and exerted more pressure on the touch-screen when performing gestures than the younger users. On a small smartphone, all users were less accurate in gesture performance – more so for elderly – compared to mini-sized tablets. Also, the users, especially the elderly, were less efficient and less accurate when performing complex gestures on the small smartphone compared to the mini-tablet. The third research investigated the possibility of classifying a user’s age-group using touch gesture-based features (i.e., gesture speed, gesture accuracy, movement time, and finger pressure) on smartphones. In the third research, we provide evidence for the possibility of classifying a user’s age-group using gesture-based applications on smartphones for user-dependent and user-independent scenarios. The accuracy of age-group classification on smaller screens was higher than that on devices with larger screens due to larger screens being much easier to use for all users across both age groups. In addition, it was found that the age-group classification accuracy was higher for younger users than elderly users. This was due to the fact that some elderly users performed the gestures in the same way as the younger users do, which could be due to their longer experience in using smartphones than the typical elderly user. Overall, our results provided evidence that elderly users encounter difficulties when interacting with smartphones and tablet devices compared to younger users. Also, it was possible to classify user’s age-group based on users’ ability to perform touch-gestures on smartphones and tablets. The designers of smartphone interfaces should remove barriers that make browsing and processing local and global information on smartphones’ applications difficult. Furthermore, larger screen sizes should be considered for elderly users. Also, smartphones could include automatically customisable user interfaces to suite elderly users' abilities to accommodate their needs so that they can be equally efficient as younger users. The outcomes of this research could enhance the design of smartphones and tablets as well the applications that run on such devices, especially those that are aimed at elderly users. Such devices and applications could play an effective role in enhancing elderly peoples’ activities of daily lives.

The Internet have become a 'necessity' in the everyday life of just below 50\% of the world population. With the growth of the Internet and it creating a great platform to help people and making life easier, it has also brought a lot of malicious situations. Now a days people hack or uses social engineering on other people for a living, scamming and fraud is part of their daily life. Therefore security awareness is truly important and sometimes vital.We wanted to look at the difference in security awareness depending on which year you were born, in relation to the IT-boom and growth of the Internet. Does it matter if you lived through the earlier stages of the Internet or not? We found that the security awareness did increase with age, but if it was due to the candidates growing up before or after the IT-boom or due to the fact that younger people tend to be more inattentive is hard to tell. Our result is that the age group, 16-19, were more prone to security risks, due to an indifferent mindset regarding their data and information.

E-government is the use of information technology, especially telecommunications, to enable and improve the efficiency with which government services and information are provided to its constituents. Internet voting is an emerging e-government initiative. It refers to the submission of votes securely and secretly over the Internet. In the United States some areas have already used Internet voting systems for local and state elections. Many researchers argue that one of the most important social impacts of Internet voting is the effect it could have on voter participation. Numerous studies have called for research on the impact of technology on voter turnout; however, existing literature has yet to develop a comprehensive model of the key factors that influence Internet voting adoption. In light of the gradual implementation of I-voting systems and the need for research on I-voting implications this study combines political science and information systems constructs to present an integrated model of Internet voter participation. The proposed model of Internet voting adoption posits that a combination of technical, political and demographic factors amalgamate to influence the adoption of I-voting services. The study was conducted by surveying 372 citizens ranging in age from 18-75. The findings indicate that an integrated model of I-voting adoption is superior to existing models that explore political science or technology adoption constructs in isolation. Implications of this study for research and practice are presented.

This dissertation addresses an issue of key importance to the field of systematics, namely how to foster taxonomic work and the dissemination of knowledge about species by taking full advantage of electronic data and bioinformatic tools. I tested and applied modern systematic tools to produce an electronic monograph of a family of flowering plants, Caricaceae. In addition to a taxonomic revision, a molecular phylogeny of the family that includes representatives of all biological species clarifies the evolutionary relationships. Based on the plastid and nuclear DNA data, I inferred historical processes that may have shaped the evolution of the Caricaceae and explain their current geographic distribution.

The primacy of the print novel as the main mode for knowledge dissemination and communication is being challenged today by the vast influx and pervasiveness of digital media. Print literature, then, is at potential risk for obsolescence, as digital technology creates new modes of narrative distribution. The novel, therefore, is in the midst of a metamorphosis, having to adapt in order to properly situate itself within the new media ecology. Somewhat paradoxically, the same digital technology that challenges print literature’s primacy is responsible for the novel’s adaption. The changing face of the page creates new novels that reflect the digital in print, through changes in typography, layout, and design. These changes illuminate the need for a material-specific methodology in literary theory, and brings about the death of postmodernism in the new, digital environment. iv
