Improvisation in Early Jazz: A Kid Ory Performance Study
Creators: name: INGHAM, JAMES
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: This thesis aims to recontextualise Kid Ory’s contribution to the development of early jazz by correcting the misconceptions that are found in his reception history. Through a performance study of his improvisation, the research examines his recordings from both the 1920s and during the revival era. By using a multi-parametric analysis model, different aspects of Ory’s improvisations are examined to better understand his musical voice and improvisational authenticity. This includes the analysis of musical features including melody, harmony, rhythm, and timbre, alongside time and feel analysis of his improvisations. All analysis is framed within the context in which the recordings were made. Chapters One, Two and Three explore the context and literature on perceptions of early jazz and improvisation. In these chapters, agreed handling of terminology and the methodology of the research are presented. Chapter Four explores Ory’s musical contribution through the recordings with Louis Armstrong and the Hot Five. Transcriptions are produced and analysed to examine Ory’s musical language and approach to improvisation. This analytical approach is continued in Chapter Five, examining Ory’s recordings with other bandleaders of the 1920s including Joe ‘King’ Oliver and Jelly Roll Morton. Recordings from the Revival era are examined in Chapter Six, focussing on live performances by Ory’s Creole Jazz Band at the Beverly Cavern during 1948 and 49. Chapter Seven applies a range of time-feel analytical approaches to twenty-one different recordings of ‘Savoy Blues’ by Ory with various ensembles. This chapter focusses on examining the nuances of his performances to better understand his musical voice, as well as to explore the concept of improvisation during this period. By using a multi-parametric analytical model, Ory’s performances can be analysed in a non-anachronistic way to reveal different aspects of his approach to improvisation, including the use of signature licks in the construction of melodic phrases and his range of swing feel. His performances employ subtle variations of swing and demonstrate how melodic spontaneity was becoming an increasing part of his improvisational practice. Ory’s output reflected wider practices of the early jazz period, and this study enhances our understanding of those characteristics of nascent jazz improvisation which are often neglected or misunderstood.
Understanding the role of motivation in young people's attitudes to university: developing a theory informed approach to widening participation evaluation
Creators: name: BAINES, LISA MARIE
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: This thesis is an examination of the role of motivation in attitudes to university among secondary school children, within the context of widening participation for disadvantaged pupils. The aims of the thesis were to understand how particular constructs within motivation theory are related to both aspirations and expectations of university attendance, and to investigate how such constructs may act as a means of changing university attitudes following widening participation intervention. The research aims are addressed across six empirical chapters through: analysis of cross-sectional data of pupils’ motivation using constructs drawn from self-determination theory, expectancy-value-cost theory, reading motivation, and pupils’ university attitudes; evaluation of three widening participation interventions using motivational theory; and finally a qualitative study of widening participation students who successfully reached university, and the factors they found to be of greatest support. Findings indicate that aspirations are higher than expectations among school pupils, and constructs from motivational theory are predictive of university attitudes but their predictive capacities are not homogenous. Although effects of motivation change upon university attitudes following intervention were limited to qualitative evidence in this thesis, specific motivational constructs such as expectancy beliefs and value, and intrinsic goal setting may be particularly useful for widening participation to incorporate in to intervention planning and evaluation to support both aspirations and expectations of university attendance among secondary school pupils.

The discrete and the continuous in architecture and design
Creators: name: Feast, L.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The notion of the environment as a continuous network of interacting flows of information, artefacts and subjects, as characterised by Ezio Manzini's ecological model of design and Greg Lynn's folded concept of architecture, has prompted the development of a variety of innovative techniques that can engage time, change, mobile points of view, and which can reorganise multiple economies, ecologies, information systems, and social groups. These techniques such as scenario building in design and diagramming in architecture, while attached to two distinct traditions do involve a productive overlap of concerns and concepts which can provide useful exchange and dialogue in the investigation of mutual problems of representation, practice, and the relationship of ethics and aesthetics in architecture and design. In architecture, this increasing influence of a dynamic model of complexity has characterised the displacement of deconstructivist techniques of collage and contradiction established in the 1980s with a folded logic of continuity and curvature in the 1990s. A parallel transition can be discerned in design within the transition from the external moral code of green design to the immanent ethics of sustainable design. The implications and interrelations between the emergence of folding in architecture and of ecologically sustainable design can be productively investigated through their interactive reflection with the distinction made between discrete multiplicities and continuous multiplicities as developed by the philosopher Gilles Deleuze (1925-1995). This distinction in models of complexity can be introduced as a difference between a metric space that can be reduced to an aggregate of points, and a non-metric continuum that can only be qualitatively differentiated in time.

Peer-engagement and its role in reducing the risky behavior among crack and methamphetamine smokers of the Downtown Eastside community of Vancouver, Canada
Creators: name: Jozaghi, Ehsan
name: Lampkin, Hugh

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Background: The role of peers (former or current drug users) in reducing risky behavior within methamphetamine and crack smokers has not been well described or researched. The current study not only explores the role of peers in reducing risk factors for morbidity within the illicit drug smoking population in the Downtown Eastside (DTES) community of Vancouver but it also investigates the changes in the nature of drug use after the closure of an unsanctioned smoking facility. Methods: The data pertain to qualitative interviews with 10 peers and 10 illicit drug smokers. The semi-structured interviews were conducted through community-based research, and the digital transcripts were analyzed via NVivo 10 software. Results: The results indicate that peers (former and current drug users who are employed as educators) are instrumental in transferring risk reduction knowledge within crack and methamphetamine smokers. For example, these peers have been able to teach users about the risk of sharing pipes, using brillo, and using public drug. Furthermore, the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users provides employment for crack and methamphetamine users in Vancouver who tend to have scarce sources of employment. However, since the closure of the unsanctioned inhalation facility, there has been significantly more public drug use and pipe sharing in the vicinity of the facility, placing drug smokers at significant risk of arrest, violence, and blood-borne infections. Conclusions: The current study recommends expanding the harm reduction peer network for people who smoke illicit drugs in the DTES community of Vancouver who have historically been underserved.

Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2019

description: In our information-overloaded daily lives, unwanted sounds create confusion, disruption and fatigue in what do and experience. Taking control of your own sound environment, you can design what information to hear and how. Providing personalised sound to different people over loudspeakers enables communication, human connection and social activity in a shared space, meanwhile addressing the individuals’ needs. Recent developments in object-based audio, robust sound zoning algorithms, computer vision, device synchronisation and electronic hardware facilitate personal control of immersive and interactive reproduction techniques. Accordingly, the creative sector is moving towards more demand for personalisation and personalisable content. This tutorial offers participants a novel and timely introduction to the increasingly valuable capability to personalise sound over loudspeakers, alongside resources for the audio signal processing community. Presenting the science behind personalising sound technologies and providing insights for making sound zones in practice, we hope to create better listening experiences. The tutorial attempts a holistic exposition of techniques for producing personal sound over loudspeakers. It incorporates a practical step-by-step guide to digital filter design for real-world multizone sound reproduction and relates various approaches to one another thereby enabling comparison of the listener benefits.

Abstract
A virtual visualization strategy for the creation of personalized products
Creators: name: Lin, Dawei
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The research describes a Virtual Visualization Strategy to enhance product value in an intensely competitive market. As products reach maturity, they become more similar in the range of functions that they provide. This leads to competition via reduced retail price and ultimately reduced profitability. A competitive design strategy is therefore needed that can produce higher value products. An Enhanced Value Experience has been identified that can assist designers to provide quality products and to give them a unique positioning. On the basis of this value opportunity, a Virtual Visualization Strategy has been formulated and applied to the domain of retail furniture. Through this, customers can create their own personalized products. The Virtual Visualization Strategy incorporates four functional layers: (1) key technique layer, (2) integration and communication layer, (3) experience layer, and (4) decision making layer. First, the key technique layer serves as the core of interactive product design, including intuitive 3D transformation, compatible design, and virtual development plane. Second, the integration and communication layer consists of the entire digital components of the Virtual Visualization Strategy, including the 3D database of product modules, the 3D environment modules, the audio/video modules, the interface modules, and the interactive behavior modules. Third, the experience layer integrates the value experience of customer involvement, differentiated product appearance, environment interaction, and variety seeking. Finally, the decision making layer allows the customer to find their own personalized products. During this project, six patents for the prototype database were successfully applied for. This provides support for the theoretical viability of the Virtual Visualization Strategy. It now remains to be further developed and tested in the real marketplace.

Exploring the associations between executive functioning, heart rate variability and work-related rumination.
Creators: name: Chelidoni, Olga
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Executive functions are cognitive abilities that allow people to focus their attention on a specific task, redirect and shift their attention between tasks, block the intrusion of irrelevant thoughts, and update information in memory. Executive functions are also central for planning and directing behaviour towards the achievement of a goal. Although difficulties in executive functions are commonly presented in ruminative thinking, research investigating the role of executive functions in work-related rumination is scarce. One of the aims of this thesis was to examine the prevalence of executive function difficulties, as reflected in daily life, in the different facets of work-related rumination. Another objective of this thesis was to investigate the association between Heart Rate Variability (HRV) and work-related rumination. HRV is an index of cardiovascular health and reflects the individual’s ability to recover from stressful situations, but very minimal research has investigated their association so far. Four studies were conducted in total. In Study 1, results from a cross-sectional study (N=334) showed that daily life executive functioning difficulties in time-management and concentration were significantly associated with affective rumination and detachment. It was also revealed that emotion regulation partially mediates this association. In Study 2, results from six-month longitudinal study design (N=106) showed that executive function difficulty in time-management at baseline predicted psychological detachment from work six months later. Findings also showed that executive function difficulties and work-related rumination consistently covaried during the six months. Study 3 reports the results of a feasibility study (N=17) to support the methods used in Study 4. Study 4 reported the results from a randomised controlled study (N=75) and showed that five minutes of instructed biofeedback breathing-delivered through a smartphone app.-enhances recovery in HRV following stress exposure. Overall, findings reported in this thesis suggest that cognitive and emotional difficulties are critical features of work-related rumination, and the development of mobile-based interventions incorporating biofeedback can be beneficial for employee physiological recovery from stress.

Climate Commitment Case Study: Bridging Communication Silos in Higher Education for Impactful Digital Content Creation
Creators: name: Ramlow, Rebekah
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Communications silos in higher education often negatively impact faculty, students, and staff, including communications professionals trying to create digital marketing content. When Duke University announced a university-wide climate commitment, the central communications office encouraged communications professionals across the university to promote the initiative. Central communications attempted to bridge silos and unite communicators across the university around a shared priority—this thesis examines the success of their campaign. Ten in-depth interviews were conducted with staff communications professionals at Duke University, inquiring about their views on the tactics employed to engage them in the Climate Commitment campaign. The communications professionals reported a lack of understanding on the goals of the campaign, connection to their audiences and priorities, and the metrics that would be used to measure success. As such, most communicators chose not to participate, or engaged at a minimum level. The deliverable of this paper illustrates a strategic communications plan for the Divinity School to engage in the campaign, including school staff and other communications professionals in the plan as an attempt to bridge silos—the plan was developed with the feedback on the initial campaign in mind.

Re-discovering Alessandro Spina’s Transculture/ality in The Young Maronite
Creators: name: Dagnino, Arianna
Publisher: name: Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute
Year: 2019

description: Alessandro Spina, né Basili Shafik Khouzam, was born in Benghazi in 1927 into a family of Maronites from Aleppo and spent most of his life between Libya and Italy, speaking several languages and writing in Italian. He may be described as the “unsung” writer of Italian colonial and post-colonial past in North Africa. Spina’s oeuvre—collected in an omnibus edition, I confini dell’ombra. In terra d’oltremare (Morcelliana)—charts the history of Libya from 1911, when Italy invaded the Ottoman province, to 1966, when the country witnessed the economic boom sparked by the petrodollars. The cycle was awarded the Premio Bagutta, Italy’s highest literary accolade. In 2015, Darf Press published in English the first instalment of Spina’s opus with the title The Confines of the Shadows. In Lands Overseas. Spina always refused to be pigeonholed in some literary category and to be labeled as a colonial or postcolonial author. As a matter of fact, his works go beyond the spatial and imaginary boundaries of a given state or genre, emphasizing instead the mixing and collision of languages, cultures, identities, and forms of writing. Reading and re-discovering Spina in a transcultural mode brings to light the striking newness of his literary efforts, in which transnational lived life, creative imagination, and transcultural sensibility are inextricably interlaced.

Using multiple paradigms to understand entrepreneurial motivations
Creators: name: Kirkwood, Jodyanne
name: Campbell-Hunt, Colin
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study illustrates how a multiple paradigm research methodology was used to understand more about one particular question about entrepreneurs---whether motivations for becoming an entrepreneur differ between women and men. It is often assumed that women and men are motivated to become entrepreneurs in similar ways. However, gender comparative studies of motivations for becoming an entrepreneur are relatively limited. This relatively compact body of literature on motivations for becoming an entrepreneur that offer a gender comparative approach is problematic for a number of reasons, some of which relate to their almost complete reliance on quantitative research methodologies. Thus, a multiple paradigm study offered a way of understanding more about the complex process of deciding to become an entrepreneur. To this end, both qualitative and quantitative data were collected and analysed. We pose a number of contributions to theory development within the entrepreneurial motivation field, and also make suggestions to expand methodological stances within entrepreneurship research to make more use of multiple paradigm studies.

Copper and bronze: Australia's selection of Mauritian immigrants 1964-1973
Creators: name: Neumann, Klaus
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: For more than half a century, Australia has been a popular destination for Mauritian emigrants. The number of Australian residents born in Mauritius rose from 236 in 1947 to 17,083 in 1996.1 Mauritian migration to Australia peaked between the mid-1960s and the early 1970s. According to Mauritian official statistics, a total of 9379 Mauritians migrated to Australia between 1965 and 1973 alone. Many more would have done so if it had not been for Australia’s Department of Immigration, which discouraged some prospective immigrants from applying and rejected the applications of others.3 In the following, I analyse the means by which Australia effectively limited the number of Mauritian immigrants. I explore the selection criteria the Australian immigration authorities applied during the height of the Mauritian exodus to Australia, paying attention not only to the relevant policy, but also to how that policy was implemented.

Resolution and depth perception in laparoscopic surgery.
Creators: name: Dunstan, Matt J. D.
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Training in laparoscopic surgery involves adapting to operate using a two-dimensional video image instead of the three-dimensional view of open surgery. Surgeons must overcome the lack of depth perception and reduced tactile feedback. These factors make laparoscopic surgery technically difficult, and advanced imaging systems are required to improve performance and reduce the risk of complications. Two laparoscopic systems are at the cutting edge of surgical video technology: 3D and 4K. 3D systems utilise passive polarising glasses to restore binocular depth perception, whilst 4K systems provide a 2D image with four times the number of pixels of high definition (HD) systems. Limited evidence supports the clinical use of 3D over 2D HD, however some surgeons cannot perceive depth when using them, and they are expensive. Whilst 4K is a 2D technology, it has been suggested that the ultra high resolution may provide comparable depth perception to 3D. This study aims to determine whether 3D systems provide better depth perception, and quicker, safer surgery, when compared to 4K systems. It is the first clinical study to involve an ultra high definition, 4K system. This thesis involved benchtop optical testing, a crossover trial of simulated laparoscopic tasks, and a clinical trial involving patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy. Whilst 4K systems demonstrated high resolution on optical testing, pixel resolution appears to be only one of several determinants of resolving power. Performance benefits in terms of reduced time, errors and workload scores were observed for novices and experts when performing simulated depth perception tasks with 3D when compared to a non-validated 4K prototype. There was no increase in side effects. However, no improvement in operative time, error score, complications or reattendance rates were seen with 3D compared to 4K in the clinical trial of laparoscopic cholecystectomy, as performed by Consultant surgeons. The conflicting findings of the simulator and clinical trials likely reflect the differing tasks used. Existing simulator tasks predominantly test depth perception, rather than other qualities of laparoscopic systems. The development of new assessment measures is required to draw strong conclusions about 3D and 4K technologies.

description: This study investigates the thermomechanical behavior of auxetic square-grid lattice structures through analytical, numerical, and experimental approaches. These structures have gained prominence in biomedical applications due to their ability to mimic the structural behavior of surrounding tissue, even if the natural tissue is not auxetic. First, analytical relations are derived for elastic modulus, Poisson’s ratio, and yield strength of lattice structures, as well as their thermomechanical behavior under different loading conditions. The mechanical properties of lattice structures are validated using both finite element and experiments. Several 3D-printed specimens with varying thickness-to-length dimensions are heated in a heat chamber to measure their deformations. Results also demonstrate excellent accuracy of the derived analytical relationships, which show that elastic modulus and yield strength increase exponentially with an increase in the thickness-to-length (t/l) ratio, while Poisson’s ratio is largely independent of t/l. Furthermore, it is found that the coefficient of thermal expansion is equivalent to that of the constituent solid material and that thermal stress has a linear relationship with temperature change. These findings have important implications for analyzing lattice structures based on other unit cell types and can be extended to macro-geometries such as tubular or spherical shapes commonly used in biomedical applications.
Speckle pattern control in the application of digital image correlation for detecting damage in helmets.

description: Throughout use, military equipment is subjected to everyday wear and tear. Some may be significant in its own right, some will interact with other damage, and some will fatigue with use. Under these circumstances, how will equipment that has been in the field deal with an actual ballistic event, or other primary duty issue? Current assessment methodologies ensure safety standards are met, but detailed evaluation of components requires transportation from site. Minimising transport of equipment would reduce costs and fuel usage, and also save lives. The current work considers the use of digital image correlation (DIC) for non-destructive evaluation (NDE), with a particular focus on the assessment of combat helmets. To optimize component loading, the use of pressure differentials and single-point mechanical loading were trialed. Finite element analysis (FEA) suggests pressure differentials produce a greater likelihood for the detection of component damage via surface strain discontinuities. By contrast, single point loading produces highly concentrated strain in the region of contact, whilst minimal strains result for the rest of the component. The optimization of component speckling has also been considered, leading to the development of a novel approach using customisable transfer paper, which can be printed with a pattern specific to a given test geometry. This allows greater standardization, faster application, and increased accuracy, compared with traditional approaches, such as spray painting a speckle pattern. Following these experiments, NDE of an entire military helmet was investigated using a portable test rig. With the method for helmet loading in concept stage, proof that the technique can detect damage is presented via five case studies. The variety of materials and testing processes show the novel approach for component speckling has direct use for the completion of, and external to, the primary goal of the project: “to develop a DIC technique with the potential for portable damage detection of helmets”.

description: Research has shown that tooth loss results in morphological changes in alveolar ridge that may influence the subsequent implant placement. Immediate implant placement was introduced as a possible means to limit bone resorption and reduce the number of surgical procedures following tooth extraction. Histological and clinical evidence from human clinical studies showing efficacy of immediate implants has come to light over the last decade or so. However, immediate implant placement is a challenging surgical procedure and requires proper case selection and surgical technique. Furthermore, there appears to be a lack of clinical guidelines for immediate implant placement case selection. Therefore, the aim of this mini-review is to analyze critical evidence from human studies in order to establish clinical guidelines which may help clinicians in case selection when considering immediate implant placement protocol.
A narrative exploration of women’s stories of recovery from traumatic childbirth
Creators: name: PEARCE, SORREL
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: Introduction: Many women perceive their birth experience to be traumatic and stories
description: of birth trauma are more frequently being heard in maternity literature. However, there has
description: been limited research focusing on stories of recovery from birth trauma. Therefore, this study
description: aims to explore how women tell their stories of recovery from traumatic birth.
description: Method: This study utilised a qualitative design. One to one semi-structured interviews
description: were conducted with seven participants, who identified as recovered or in recovery from
description: traumatic birth. Participants were asked to tell their story of recovery from traumatic birth and
description: these accounts were analysed using narrative analysis.
description: Findings: Stories of recovery from traumatic birth exhibited a variety of core
description: narratives. Stories were interpreted in terms of genre with stories categorised as ‘Endeavour’
description: or ‘Endeavour with themes of escape’. Narratives of endeavour shared common themes of
description: taking an active role in recovery to regain a prior sense of normality. Narratives categorised as
description: ‘endeavour with themes of escape’ shared additional themes of escaping a stigmatising identity
description: or system. Different emotional tones were present in stories of recovery; critical emotional
description: tones were predominantly present in narratives categorised as ‘Endeavour with themes of
description: escape’, hopeful emotional tones were predominantly presents in narratives classified as
description: ‘Endeavour’ and reflective, educational tones present in both genres. For some women,
description: recovery was positioned as occurring inside healthcare systems with the aid of mental health
description: services and for others, recovery was positioned as occurring outside healthcare systems, with
description: services featuring minimally.
description: Conclusion: This study has identified how women can construct their narratives of
description: recovery from traumatic birth. Women’s individual stories of recovery can differ in their core
description: narratives but can share similarities in genre, emotional tone and positioning in relation to
description: health systems. This study highlighted how women were active agents in their recovery and
description: the multitude of factors affecting recovery, including the importance of validation of trauma,
description: appropriate mental health treatments, social support, among others. The clinical implications
description: of this study include the potential therapeutic benefit of telling stories of recovery from birth
description: trauma and the importance of trauma informed healthcare and social support during birth and
description: recovery.
Flow, materialism, and well-being: exploring the psychology of sustainable prosperity
Creators: name: Isham, Amy
Publisher: name: University of Surrey

description: This thesis explored the phenomenon of psychological flow as a means to improved well-being with reduced environmental impact. In particular, it was concerned with the how and why materialistic values may influence our ability to experience flow. By analysing experience sampling methodology data, Study 1 demonstrated that engagement in more intense or frequent flow experiences was linked to greater personal well-being. Equally, there was a negative relationship between the extent to which an activity tended to support flow and its environmental impact. Studies 2-4 assessed the nature of the relationship between materialistic values and the tendency to experience flow. A survey found that those individuals displaying the strongest materialistic values tended to be less prone to experiencing flow in their everyday lives. Two experimental studies then found that priming a materialistic mind-set led individuals to report poorer quality flow experiences in a subsequent activity period. A theory to account for why materialistic values undermine flow experiences arose from a number of secondary data analyses. Study 5 tested this theory at the trait level using survey measures. Individuals holding stronger materialistic values were more inclined to use their self-regulatory resources to avoid undesirable thoughts and feelings, which in turn was associated with lower levels of self-regulatory strength to dedicate to flow activities. Study 6 used experimental methods to show that situationally depleting self-regulatory resources through the avoidance of negative states did not undermine the quality of a subsequent flow experience. The six studies show the potential for flow experiences to offer a route towards sustainable prosperity, whilst at the same time revealing the difficulty posed by materialistic values in trying to promote engagement in flow. Findings develop current understandings of the consequences of strong materialistic values and pave the way for interventions to promote engagement in flow and other sustainable behaviours.
