description: Der Artikel beschäftigt sich mit den immer noch geheimnisvollen „Clayton Rings“, die an ungefähr 50 Fundorten der Zentralsahara, die meisten davon in der Libyschen Wüste, auftraten. Nach bisherigen Hypothesen stand die Töpferware wohl im Bezug zu speziellen Subsistenzstrategien in einer ariden Umgebung, und dienten der Nahrungsbeschaffung. In unserem ethno-biologischen Vorgehen diskutieren wir eine dieser Hypothesen, die auf Bienenhaltung und Honigproduktion abzielt. Dabei vergleichen wir die Töpferware mit verschiedenen Beuten aus Ton oder Schlamm des Mittelmeerraums und setzen ihren Gebrauch in Bezug zum Vorkommen von Apis mellifera sahariensis, einer Unterart der Honigbiene, die wahrscheinlich das Relikt eines früher weit verbreiteten Bienenvorkommens im Gebiet der heutigen Sahara ist. Wir schließen, dass es die wohl wahrscheinlichste Lösung des Rätsels um die geheimnisvolle Töpferware ist, diese als Beuten für Bienen zu deuten.
description: The paper deals with the use of the still enigmatic “Clayton Rings” found on about 50 sites of the Central Sahara, most of them in the Libyan desert. According to hypotheses made so far, the ceramics, which are supposedly related to special subsistence strategies in an arid environment, have served for food procurement. In our ethno-biological approach, we will revisit one of these hypotheses dealing with beekeeping and honey production. In so doing, we will compare the ceramics to different mud- or clay-hives from the Mediterranean area and relate their use to the occurrence of Apis mellifera sahariensis, a subspecies of the honeybee and probable relic of a former bee-population widespread over nowadays Sahara. We conclude that the use of the enigmatic ceramics as hives may seem the most probable solution to their mystery.

Die stark gestörten Fundstellen liegen in 8 km Entfernung zum Mittelmeer, in der Nähe von Nador. Sie verfügen über lithische Rohstoffquellen, die weniger als 3 km entfernt sind und von den Bewohnern beider Fundstätten genutzt wurden. Die lithische Analyse zeigt, dass über 50% der modifizierten Stücke, die von jeder Assemblage gesammelt wurden, proto-biface oder biface sind. Artefakte aus den Mittel- und Spätacheuléen sind an jeder Fundstelle vorhanden, obwohl die Assemblagen bei Ammorene II technisch-morphologisch etwas älter als die Lithologische Sammlung von Ammorene I zu sein scheint. Angesichts der begrenzten Anzahl solch reicher Fundstätten des unteren Paläolithikums in Nordafrika und der Tatsache, dass diese Fundstätten für den Nordosten Marokkos noch seltener sind, trägt die hier vorgestellte Forschung dazu bei, unsere Kenntnisse über das Paläolithikum des Maghreb zu vertiefen.
description: This report summarizes the results of surface collections conducted from 1998 through 2007 by the Kommission für Archäologie Auβereuropäischer Kulturen des Deutschen Archäologischen Instituts and the Institut National des Sciences de l’Archéologie et du Patrimoine at Ammorene I and Ammorene II. The heavily disturbed sites are located within eight kilometers of the Mediterranean Sea, near Nador, and have lithic raw material sources located less than three kilometers away, which were utilized by the inhabitants at both sites. Lithic analysis reveals that over 50% of the modified pieces collected from each assemblage are proto-bifaces or bifaces. Middle and Late Acheulean artifacts are present at each site although, techno-morphologically, the assemblage at Ammorene II may slightly predate Ammorene I’s lithic collection. Given the limited number of such rich Lower Paleolithic sites in North Africa, coupled with the fact that these sites are even more of a rarity for northeastern Morocco, the research presented here aids in furthering our knowledge of the Maghrebian Paleolithic.

description: Currently, there is a big discussion ongoing among both practitioners and scientists whether the benefits of the Adaptive Choice-Based Conjoint (ACBC) analysis in comparison to (standard) Choice-Based Conjoint (CBC) analysis are justifying the additional costs and efforts of ACBC. To answer this question, recent studies in literature are reviewed and a conducted ACBC (n=205) about e-commerce in an international context is analyzed with regards to several aspects, e.g. excluded attribute levels and stimuli used for the Choice Tasks section. The results indicate that CBC is generally able to provide the main information about the most preferred attribute levels with less effort compared to ACBC. However, ACBC is very suitable for more complex products or services and for gaining deeper insights, such as information about the second-best options or completely unacceptable features. Furthermore, CBC requires a bigger sample size and is often less precise. Still, the related context will remain the main factor for or against the usage of one or the other method.

description: The MINKA citizen science observatory is a community-based platform dedicated to the environmental data collection as a contribution for the SDGs achievement. MINKA gathered data of coastal areas around the world of trained volunteers, currently about biodiversity, through geolocalized images uploaded by citizens.The photos are validated by means of a three stages process certified by experts toward the taxonomic identification; eventually the confirmed species and genera are available to users through data information facility infrastructures, such as Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). At the moment the MINKA platform is under an ongoing process improving the parameters according to the Essential Ocean Variables (EOVs) defined by the GOOS fundamental for assessments and saveguard ocean health. The integration of the citizen observatory MINKA with the research infrastructures of the MINKE, EU funded project focused on metrology research infrastructures to propose an innovative framework of ‘quality of oceanographic data’, underlined the complementarity of the citizen science data bringing completeness to the accuracy of the metrology research infrastructures of MINKE. Furthermore, the current requirements to fulfil the coastal ecosystem management plans, the international agreements, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals or the Kunming- Montreal Global biodiversity framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) requirements are asking for data and citizen science programs are contributing to essential biodiversity variables (EBV), essential ocean variables (EOV) and for SDGs as an important data source for new and non-traditional data (Chandler, M. et al, 2017; Fritz, S. et al., 2019; Woods, S.M., 2022). Recently MINKA has been included into the UN Acceleration Actions for SDGs platform due to the contributions to the Agenda 2030, mainly SDGs 11, 14, 15 and 17.
title: #Like-What Are Adolescents Experiences Of Using Social Media?
Creators: name: Alrai, Mohammad Sarif
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: Adolescent engagement with digital communication, especially social media, has risen
in recent years. Given this, and a lack of psychological exploration of the topic, the
current study set out to understand the experience of adolescents using social media.
Six participants (three male and three female aged 14) shared their experiences through
semi-structured interviews. They were all year 10 students in an Academy in southeast
England. The resulting data was analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological
Analysis (IPA).
Eight group superordinate themes were identified. These highlighted a variety of
positive and negative experiences. The themes were explored in relation to conceptual
models and latent psychological factors that could be motivating mechanisms driving
the use of social media. Comparisons made between these findings and existing
literature demonstrated a need for more ‘bottom-up’ qualitative research to understand
adolescent social media use.
The findings highlighted a number of areas relating to professional practice with
adolescents using social media. There is a particular need for dialogue between these
social media users and the personal and professional networks of people who support
them. Implications for practice are discussed.
title: Hip-Hop As Community Psychology? : A Participatory Research Project with Adolescent Co-Researchers
Creators: name: Afonu, Dzifa
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: This research explores the ways young people engage with UK Hip-hop and Grime (UKHHG) culture for their wellbeing and what UKHHG culture might teach clinical psychology about supporting young people’s wellbeing.
The research is also broadly concerned with the potential connections between the ideas and aims of liberation and community psychology, and the culture and ideas of UKHHG and young people’s engagement with it. Through a qualitative exploration of UKHHG culture the research question that is investigated is:
What are the relationships between socio-political issues and the wellbeing of young people in inner London, through examining UKHHG culture and community?
The research used a participatory action research methodology. The primary researcher worked with a co-researchers team consisting of two adolescent co-researchers, one young adult co-researcher, two participation youth workers, and two professional Hip-hop artists. The team met together, planning and conducting the research for over four months. The data for this research was collected from three discussion forums with an additional nine young people, eleven young adult and adult artists, and three youth support workers. Using thematic analysis two main themes were identified: UKHHG as a Source of Transformation, and ‘The System’ and ‘The Struggle’. Participants give accounts of UKHHG’s potential as a vehicle for individual and collective transformation and the role that UKHHG can have in supporting and promoting their resilience, as well as the ways it helps them to resist and survive the challenging socio-political contexts they face as members of marginalised communities. Recommendations for clinical psychology include: the need to build on young people’s knowledges, and learn from the resilience, skills and resistance that marginalised communities are already utilizing; using these knowledges and skills to transform the ways that services and community interventions are developed and implemented; approaching work with young people with authenticity through being one’s self, having a critical consciousness, resonating with others, and transparency of intentions.
title: An Empirical Investigation of the Causes and Consequences of Card-Not-Present Fraud, Its Impact and Solution
Creators: name: Aguoru, Kingsley Chibuzor
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: The boom of electronic commerce technologies in recent years has drastically increased the demand for an effective electronic method to pay or be paid. The currently predominant method is online card payment, in which the cardholder is not present at the point of sale. However this method is accompanied by huge vulnerabilities and also serves as a low-risk avenue for fraudsters to steal card details with the intent to defraud online merchants. These merchants are those who mostly bear the overall risk and consequences because they cannot provide a document signed by the legitimate cardholder. Several attempts and proposals have been introduced to solve this problem. However, many have failed to be adopted, while those that have been adopted have not been able to adequately solve the problem. The card payment industry is fully aware of the problem and its consequences, but it has abdicated responsibility for fraud in this type of transaction, and declines to guarantee the “card-not-present” fraud solutions that have been proposed during the past ten years. Instead, the industry has chosen only to accept responsibility for fraud arising from the “card present” environment, which is of low risk because it uses chip-and-pin technology. As a result, many merchants have withdrawn from online business for fear of losses, while consumers are sometimes turning back to alternative payment and traditional “bricks-and-mortar”-style shopping, for fear of identity theft.
In light of these problems and challenges, this research adopted a practice approach to investigate the causes and consequences of card-not-present fraud, the associated infiltration techniques, and the impact on the development of e-commerce, in order to unveil and establish an understanding of the background and characteristics of card-not-present fraud, its causes, its penetration techniques and aftermath.
This research examined the result of the investigation, and proposes a feasible solution known as 3W-ADA Sentry System, built out of the framework of analytic geometry to counter threats of card-not-present fraud and related identity theft by introducing a non-electronic and low-cost dynamic tokenization process for card-not-present authentication. This proposal could eventually help to restore the security of online card payment authentication, restore the trust of participants, and improve the development of electronic commerce. However, due to limitations inherent in this research, it provides instead recommendations concerning the additional work that would be required to turn the 3W-ADA Sentry into an Association or Scheme to promote its global adoption and its compatibility with the infrastructures and systems of relevant organisations.

Year: 2015

description: This thesis explores brief psychotherapy with children on placement at a specialist
school setting, as part of an on-site, child psychotherapy outreach provision. The study
sought to explore two research questions concerning the themes that could emerge in
brief work with children and how these themes could be discussed in relation to the
understanding formed by their mainstream school teachers. A qualitative research
design was used to investigate these questions. The methods used to collect data were
case studies, concerning the brief psychotherapy with 4 boys, aged 7 years, and and
semi-structured interviews were conducted with the teachers. Thematic analysis was
used to explore the data. The themes that were derived from the analysis were described
in detail. The research found that brief work has considerable benefit for children and
mainstream schools. Through the brief work intervention, the children all made
significant progress in all areas of their lives a school. Contributions that the research
makes to related fields, the implications that it has for policy and practice and
recommendations for future research were all discussed.

description: Introduction: A human milk concentrate using lyophilizate from banked human milk has been recently developed. Preclinical tests showed that the human milk with human lyophilisate has an adequate nutrient composition, physical-chemical and bacteriological stability, immediately and after 3 and 6 months stored in freezer -20 degrees Celsius. This study aims to assess safety and tolerability of the human milk with human milk additive compared to the standard additive (cow’s protein milk).

Materials and Methods: The study is a double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial. 40 very low birth weight infants (VLBWI) were divided in 2 groups, human milk plus human lyophilizate (LioNeo) and human milk plus commercial additive (LHFM85). Inclusion criteria: preterm babies (<37 weeks GA), birth weight 750-1500g, small or adequate for gestational age, receiving exclusively human milk, volume equals to 100mL/kg/day or higher, hemodynamically stable, and whose parents or responsibles signed the informed consent. Exclusion criteria were large for gestational age, malformations, grade III and IV for peri and intraventricular hemorrhages and children from underage mothers without a responsible companion. Participants were computer randomly assigned to receive either LioNeo or LHFM85 during 21 consecutive days.

Main outcomes: Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), late-onset neonatal sepsis and death, gastrointestinal bleeding and perforation, diarrhea, regurgitation, vomiting, abdominal distension (>10%).

Results: The main characteristics were similar between the groups: 1220±200g and 30.4±2,7w GA for LioNeo group and 1219±204g and 29.7±1.8w GA for LCFM85 group at baseline. The regression model based on a double Poisson distribution showed no differences between groups comparing the means of adverse outcomes. Diarrhea, gastrointestinal perforation, NEC and neonatal sepsis were not observed in the group LioNeo and therefore were not statistically compared (1 late onset sepsis and 1 NEC in group LCFM85). We also compared groups using a regression model with total volume of milk as an adjusted variable and there were no differences between the groups. We had no deaths during the study. Babies from both groups grew up similarly.

Conclusion: The lyophilizate of human milk was considered safe and tolerable to use in hemodynamically stable VLBWI.

Conflicts of interest: None declared.

description: Abstract

This quantitative research examined factors influencing MSU's performance in licensure exams for fisheries, agriculture, education, and accountancy. Factors like sex, income, exam timing, Latin honors, and review methods did not significantly affect scores (P-values > 0.05). However, patterns in honors and study habits warrant further exploration. The results challenge the belief that common benefits automatically lead to improved results, emphasizing the complexity of success in licensure tests and the importance of maintaining consistent academic dedication, with GPA being a strong predictor of exam success. Recommendations focus on improving classroom instruction and review sessions to enhance pass rates, especially for demanding exams like the CPALE.
Classificação e tipologia dos lapiás. Contributo para uma terminologia das formas cársicas
Creators: name: Rodrigues, Maria Luísa

Year: 2012

description: A bibliografia que refere as formas que se desenvolvem em rochas carbonatadas tem tendência a dar destaque às chamadas formas maiores do carso (dolinas, uvalas, poljes e formas fluvio-cársicas), prestando menos atenção às formas de dissolução ditas menores compostas pelas formas lapiares ou lapiás. neste campo a bibliografia escrita em português não constitui excepção. Daí a opção da escolha deste conjunto de formas entre o vasto leque das formas cársicas, para além do facto de serem estas formas, de dimensão mais reduzida, aquelas que evidenciam melhor a existência de processos de dissolução  activos à superfície e que contribuem de maneira decisiva para o funcionamento hidrológico do carso subterrâneo. a maior parte das classificações dos lapiás são essencialmente descritivas, privilegiando a morfologia (formas e microformas), o que conduz a uma multiplicação dos termos, atribuindo um papel secundário à génese e aos processos ligados à sua formação. tentou-se, assim, construir uma metodologia de classificação dos lapiás, e correspondente tipologia das formas, que, partindo dos processos de formação, acrescenta o tipo de cobertura e a morfologia. individualizam-se três grandes conjuntos de lapiás: i) aqueles em que o processo dominante (associado à dissolução) se relaciona com a escorrência superficial da água; ii) as formas lapiares formadas pela acção conjunta da escorrência e da dissolução controlada por factores estruturais; iii) os lapiás com origem fundamentalmente bioquímica, resultantes da acção da dissolução (por permanência da água em superfícies deprimidas) e dos organismos vivos.

High Performance Computing on Big data in Geographic Information Systems

description: It is increasingly necessary to process data every day. therefore, it is necessary to use high-performancecomputing to process these big data. In Geographic Information systems (GIS), there are billions of spatial points to behandled in a reasonable amount of time. One of the basic operations is to prepare triangulation data. There are manytriangulation methods. In this study which we utilized Delaunay triangulation (DT). The Delaunay triangulation is amethod to find triangles of a set of points, on a plane. The Delaunay triangles are defined as the triangles of a set P of npoints where three points of P form a triangle and the circumscribed circle of each triangle contains no points of Pinternally. Each point of P is on the circumcircles. These triangles create a connected graph of all the points, which makesit possible to maximize the smallest angle of the set, which gives a mesh of triangles containing few lean triangles. Sincethe mesh has few thin triangles, this can be an advantage for applications such as humans or machines. Due to thecomplexity of the triangulation process, the calculation time increases as the amount of points increases. To overcomethis problem in this paper, we propose a three-stage divide and conquer method which we call “sewing method”. At thefirst stage, we run the triangulation method for each sub partition. At the next stage, we recognize the border of each subpartition by using convex hull. The convex hull is usually the first step in determining the Delaunay triangulation as itcan be used a boundary for algorithms to avoid searching for triangles outside P. convex hull is a subgraph of the Delaunaytriangulation of P and is where most of the thinner triangles are located. This is since the circumcircles for these edgesoften do expand outward from P as possibly very large circles. For the last step, we implemented a new sewing methodwhich joins these sub partitions.In our implementation, when we applied our sewing technique we achieved 26% effeicency on two million points. Also,triangulation of twenty million points required 170.2 second in the new implementation. On the other hand, it took 527.0second for the usual method. Thus we accomplished 67.7% efficiency. Therefore, we proved that “sewing method” iseffective on big data compared to the conventional procedures.

description: Existem muitas evidências de que as cidades influenciam o climalocal, particularmente no que diz respeito à temperatura, ocasionando uma “ilha decalor urbano”, com impactes negativos no conforto bioclimático e na saúde humana.Durante o século transacto, sobretudo a partir de 1980, ocorreu um aumento da temperatura dos meses de Verão (Junho, Julho, Agosto e Setembro, JJAS), particularmente no que diz respeito à temperatura mínima média. Verificou-se igualmente umaumento de noites “quentes” (de temperatura mínima superior a 20ºC), em especialem Junho e Setembro e uma diminuição significativa da amplitude térmica diurna,nomeadamente nos últimos anos do século XX. Estes factos poderão ser devidos nãosó ao efeito urbano, mas também ao aquecimento global.

description:  Our construction practices directly impact the global GHG emissions, of which the US contributes  a third, and manufacturing and construction accounts for 11% [3]. Addressing climate change  requires a reduction in embodied carbon from construction materials. While reducing carbon  emissions is crucial, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emphasizes the  importance of simultaneously drawing down and storing carbon to keep global GHG emissions  below the 1.5°C mark [28].  
As our terrestrial opportunities for extraction decrease and the need to address climate change  becomes more critical, designing building envelopes with their carbon sequestration capacity in  mind is increasingly important. Envelope designs alone can directly and indirectly impact up to  60% of the carbon emissions associated with a building varying by project type [32].  Experimentation with bio-based construction materials such as Cross Laminated Timber (CLT),  hempcrete, bio-concretes, and mycelium composites, which sequester biogenic carbon through  photosynthesis, carbonation, or bio-mineralization, is ongoing. Additionally, advanced materials  like Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) offer alternatives to significantly reduce operational  carbon requirements. This research aims to study pre-designed bio-based, high-performance, and  conventional building assemblies for their potential to store carbon. The assemblies will meet an  R-30 for consistency and will be evaluated for their implication on a baseline residential building  model for climate zone 5A. The bio-based assemblies will be selected based on their material  properties like durability, scalability, thermal conductivity, fire resistance, and density. This study  aids practitioners and decision-makers with a better understanding of our envelope’s ability to  store carbon and highlights the need for more regulated policies for embodied carbon  benchmarking and EPDs in the market for bio-based products. Additionally, this research  encourages the use of Life cycle assessment tools like One Click LCA that quantify biogenic  Carbon.

description: Global human population growth, limited space for settlements and a booming tourism industry have led to a strong increase of human infrastructure in mountain regions. As this infrastructure is highly exposed to natural hazards, a main role of mountain forests is to regulate the environment and reduce hazard probability. However, canopy disturbances are increasing in many parts of the world, potentially threatening the protection function of forests. Yet, large-scale quantitative evidence on the influence of forest cover and disturbance on natural hazards remains scarce to date. Here we quantified the effects of forest cover and disturbance on the probability and frequency of torrential hazards for 10 885 watersheds in the Eastern Alps. Torrential hazard occurrences were derived from a comprehensive database documenting 3768 individual debris flow and flood events between 1986 and 2018. Forest disturbances were mapped from Landsat satellite time series analysis. We found evidence that forests reduce the probability of natural hazards, with a 25 percentage point increase in forest cover decreasing the probability of torrential hazards by 8.7%± 1.2%. Canopy disturbances generally increased the probability of torrential hazard events, with the regular occurrence of large disturbance events being the most detrimental disturbance regime for natural hazards. Disturbances had a bigger effect on debris flows than on flood events, and press disturbances were more detrimental than pulse disturbances. We here present the first large scale quantification of forest cover and disturbance effects on torrential hazards. Our findings highlight that forests constitute important green infrastructure in mountain landscapes, efficiently reducing the probability of natural hazards, but that increasing forest disturbances can weaken the protective function of forests.

title: Action research exploring the development of solution focussed techniques for children with learning difficulties
Creators: name: Barton, Laura
Publisher: name: The University of East London
Year: 2015

description: This action research study aimed to develop the researcher's use of Solution Focussed techniques with children and young people with severe or moderate learning difficulties. A literature review highlighted the limited evidence base in this area and a number of concerns around the applicability of some of the techniques with this population. The research was carried out in light of the Children's and Families Bill, 2014 and related SEN Code of Practice, which emphasises person-centred planning and the Government's initiative to increase access to psychological therapies. The researcher recruited 10 young people attending specialist educational provision as participants. Solution focussed techniques were systematically trialled in partnership with them and adapted through an Action Research cycle. Video recording was utilised to analyse responses and efficacy. The young people were also consulted regarding their views of the techniques and their feedback was used to inform the development of resources and practices. These developments have the potential to inform EP's and other professionals' work in this important area.
title: Social Interaction in Autism Spectrum Presentation: The Development of the Social Situation Stories Questionnaire (SSSQ)
Creators: name: Begum, Aysha

description: Autism spectrum presentations are considered ‘lifelong developmental disabilities’ affecting the way individuals communicate and relate to others, thus significantly impacting on social interaction resulting in various social disadvantages.
To date, the key psychological theory accepted, as an explanation for difficulties observed in autism presentations is the lack of ‘Theory of Mind’ (ToM), which is considered a facet of social cognition required in understanding how to interact socially with others, through the ability to recognise others as alike but also independent. Despite its popularity there are several limitations of this proposed theory. Furthermore many individuals with autism presentations can pass ToM tests at an older age or in adulthood. This has resulted in more sophisticated ToM tests being developed.
This study aims to develop a more sensitive ToM test, which aims to operationalise a more subtle aspect of ToM that adults with autism presentations may have difficulty understanding. The concept of social overtures which are often present in normative social interaction is used in the current study to develop items to discriminate between individuals with and without autism presentations in a questionnaire format. This new test called the Social Situation Stories Questionnaire (SSSQ) was administered to 12 adults with autism presentation and 16 adults without this diagnosis in a matched cohort study. The SSSQ is a two part instrument consisting of general ToM skills and more subtle ToM skills (social overture detection). Findings show no difference between the two groups on the general part of the SSSQ, however individuals with autism presentations were less able to detect the social overtures, thus scoring less well on the more stringent ToM component of the SSSQ.
This novel social cognition test will be used to further understand social interaction differences between adults with and without autism presentation.
Taking a critical realistic epistemological approach differences observed are critically discussed.

title: Performing Periods: Challenging Menstrual Normativity through Art Practice
Creators: name: Hughes, B
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University

description: This practice-led research explores the visual culture of menstruation from an interdisciplinary perspective rooted in art practice and autoethnographic reflection. The thesis aims to interrogate notions of menstrual normativity in anglophone culture, centring on, but not limited to art in the Global North. These notions are informed and reinforced through everyday beliefs, medical authority, advertising and representations of menstruation in art. With reference to art historical, sociological, political / cultural context and my own art and curatorial practice, I propose that menstrual art can be a powerful medium to re-frame academic, medical and everyday discussions about menstruation by revealing varied experiences of menstruation. The practical element of this work employs an interdisciplinary queered practice-led research approach to explore and critique themes including subjectivity, agency, ritual and performance in embodied experience, essentialist conceptions of gender, and the intersection of medical knowledge with everyday life. The art practice discussed in Volume One, and documented in Volume Two, develops artistic methods to critically examine the everyday embodied experience of menstruating through performative works which combine everyday practices with the feminist tradition of self-examination. Works in poetry and sound explore ritual and repetition encountered through medical advice, considering how these now common sites of medical authority form part of the everyday experience of medicine. In linking research to practice explicitly throughout the thesis, this research contributes unique insights to the fields of practice-led research, art and cultural studies, critical menstruation studies and the critical medical humanities. Through considering the role of online medical advice in shaping contemporary attitudes towards menstruation this research aims to expand the site of clinical encounter, as conceptualised in the critical medical humanities, to include everyday and individual engagement with medical authority and ideas in the online sphere. Through thematic analysis of multiple case studies this thesis presents a ‘queering’ of historic and contemporary menstrual art since 1970, and of contemporary menstrual norms.
