There's More Than Corn in Indiana: Smallholder and Alternative Farmers as a Locus of Resilience
Creators: name: Pleasant, Virginia F

Year: 2021
Subjects: Anthropology not elsewhere classified

description: This dissertation is a policy driven ethnography of smallholder and alternative farmers in Indiana that centers food justice and utilizes interdisciplinary frameworks to analyze the adaptive strategies that farmers use to address the specific challenges they face. Through the implementation of adaptive strategies such as regenerative growing practices, the cultivation of community, stewardship of the land, and an emphasis on transparency, the smallholders I worked with over the course of this study negotiate complex agricultural spaces and build the resilience of their farmsteads and the communities they serve. Smallholder and alternative farmers in Indiana are reimagining the agricultural spaces they occupy and driving transformational change of dominant narratives and local food systems. Critiques of conventional agriculture and commodity production are not intended to reify binary perceptions of the agricultural paradigm, but rather to demonstrate that the critical role of smallholder and alternatives farmers should be valued as well. This research draws on four years of ethnographic research, archival sources, and close readings of policy measures and media reports to illuminate the historical context that has positioned smallholders in juxtaposition to large-scale conventional agriculture, and the critical role of smallholder farmers in driving food systems change while centering food justice and community resiliency. The driving research questions for the following essays follow: Why have small scale and alternative farmers chosen to farm (and farm differently)? What specific challenges do they face and how might these challenges be better addressed by existing support systems and new legislation? What can be learned from the alternative narratives and reimagined spaces smallholder farmers engage with? This work joins the growing body of research that challenges agricultural meta-narratives by presenting a counter-narrative of smallholder resilience and the a priori notion that posits agricultural technology as a panacea for everything from world hunger to economics to environmental concerns.
Morphology-Driven Comprehensive Charge Loss Analysis of Organic Photovoltaics Processed with Non-Halogenated Solvents

Year: 2023

description: Organic photovoltaics (OPVs) are promising as a printable and massively scalable solar energy source. Their efficiencies are approaching 20%, making them competitive with current panels. The design of OPVs, however, is limited by the minimal choices of processing solvents, which are often toxic, and an inadequate knowledge of the complex, morphology-driven charge generation and recombination processes. Here, we study a relatively unexplored non-halogenated (green) processing solvent CS2 and find reduced recombination resulting in a record high device efficiency with thicker, easier to manufacture active layers. The improvement represents a 30% increase over traditional halogenated solvents. To probe device charge dynamics, this project develops accurate measurements of spectral and total device photoabsorption and radiative losses. These techniques are included in a suite of other methods to provide a comprehensive charge loss analysis under operational conditions for the model polymer-fullerene system PCDTBT:PCBM. We demonstrate the dominate mechanisms limiting performance and connect these limitations to specific aspects of nanostructure measured via advanced x-ray techniques. Moving forward, these analytical techniques will enable an understanding of the detailed processes of charge generation and recombination to work toward further progress in materials design of OPVs.

description: Low molecular weight organic acids (LMWOAs) are common in rhizospheric soil and may impede the interaction between phosphate and metals. Thus, studying how phosphate compounds impact metal immobilization in rhizospheric soil using LMWOAs is crucial. An incubation experiment examined the effects of NaH2PO4 (a P compound) (3%), various concentrations of citric acid (CA), and combinations of P and CA, on soil cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb), and zinc (Zn) immobilization using the European Community Bureau of Reference (BCR) sequential extraction method, CaCl2 extraction method, zeta potential, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The P, low CA (2 mmol kg–1 soil) (CA2), and P-CA2 treatments reduced acid-soluble and CaCl2-extractable Cd, Pb, and Zn, indicating metal immobilization, with the P-CA2 treatment being the most effective. High CA (>5–20 mmol kg–1 soil) or a P with high CA reversed prior patterns, suggesting metal mobilization. The zeta potential study indicated that when pH increased, treatments became more negative, notably P-CA2 followed by P, suggesting that electrostatic adsorption was the predominant metal immobilization mechanism, especially in P-CA2. XRD tests, however, showed that the P treatment alone produced Cd phosphate, pyromorphite, and hopeite, indicating that sorption and precipitation were the main metal immobilization processes in the P treatment alone. In conclusion, P-CA2 was found to be the most efficient metal immobilization and redistribution treatment for contaminated soils. Rhizospheric CA may alter Cd, Pb, and Zn mineral stability. Therefore, when treating Cd, Pb, and Zn-contaminated soils with a P compound, CA should be addressed.

description: My research explores whether and in what ways curatorial practices assume a social function. By analysing how artistic and curatorial practices can activate processes and generate structures that facilitate dialogical spaces of negotiation between curators, artists and their publics, this research argues for an intrinsic social dimension to forms of knowledge production in the curated encounter.

Point of departure for my research are the following examples: (1) Michael Fullerton’s exhibition Columbia (2010), Chisenhale Gallery, London; (2) The Potosí Principle (2010), HKW, Berlin; (3) Unitednationsplaza (2006-2007), a discursive art project organised by Anton Vidokle; (4) Former West (2008-2016), a multidimensional art research project coordinated by BAK, Utrecht. 

These examples are discussed on the backdrop of the continuous dematerialisation of practices in the expanded field of the curatorial. Rather than furthering the construction of an opposition between the “curatorial” and curating as exhibition-making, my research elaborates on the differences of exhibitionary, discursive, and performative forms of engagement arguing for a diversification of the exhibition as a medium of practice, not its dismissal. A central claim of this thesis is to perceive the exhibition as a space of action for public engagement beyond spectatorship and the production of sociality beyond hosting relations.
 
Contextualised by a discussion of terminologies in social theory, such as communication, practice and sociality, this thesis develops a model of practice applicable to curating that operates self-reflexively with regard to the social, political and cultural conditions it is formed by. My research argues against an understanding of curatorial practices as a form of exhibiting and collecting the views and values belonging to a particular society, but claims a notion of practice that fosters the creation of sociality as an embodied form of knowledge production whose material quality is as important as its discursive capacity for emergence and enquiry.
title: The Ethics of Space: Homelessness, Squatting and the Spatial Self

description: This thesis discusses the interconnection between spatial practices and the construction of moral personhood, based on the example of homelessness and squatting activism in ‘Austerity Britain’. Drawing on 18 months of ethnographic fieldwork with persons who have no fixed address in the West of England, I explore the connections between spatiality, embodied cognition and the moral construction of self and other.

Because bodies are spatial objects, embodied cognition is necessarily spatial – ‘human beings are spatial beings’. Moral personhood is therefore also and especially spatially constructed, most importantly through metaphors of ‘inside’ vs. ‘outside’. Drawing on cognitive anthropology and psychoanalysis, I identify two distinct models of the self informed by spatial metaphors, which I refer to as the ‘territorial self’ and the ‘spatial self’. These cognitive models, and the types of relations between self and other they imply, come to inform the construction of distinct spatial configurations which can be observed from a small scale – for example an individual ‘home’ – to a large scale, e.g. the territorial nation state. The territorial self corresponds to a ‘moral space’ characterised by notions of securisation, defensible boundaries and a dual mode of exclusion and internment that produces (racialised and gendered) ‘spatial others’. The spatial self, on the other hand, implies an ethical stance that takes seriously the spatial component of embodiment, and thus the vulnerability of the self to the absence of shelter, understood as the minimum amount of safe space – within and without the body – that embodied persons need in order to physically, cognitively and socially function. 

On this basis, I argue that homelessness can be understood as the result of multi-layered social processes based in a pervasive logic of territoriality. ‘The homeless person’ is characterised by a lack of territorial entitlement that translates into a loss of moral personhood, often referred to in the literature as ‘social death’. I conclude that squatting, as a political and ethical practice, aims not only at the removal of an immediate material lack, but also and especially at the re-construction of moral personhood through a practical ethics of recognising and responding to the vulnerability inherent in embodiment.

Politics of Memory in Dervis Zaim’s ‘The Cyprus Trilogy’

description: Postcolonial intercommunal violence on Cyprus and its after-effects have been studied extensively in
the social sciences and humanities over the past five decades. However, the cinematic
representations of the postcolonial condition in Cyprus have not yet received significant critical
recognition. This dissertation is a response to the scarcity of scholarship on cinematic representations
of the postcolonial history of the island. By analysing cinematically recreated and visualised ghostly
matters of interethnic strife and post-conflict situation in Cyprus, I want to contribute to the current
debates on the politics of postcolonial memory in Cyprus. My discussion focuses specifically on a film
trilogy by the Turkish-Cypriot art house film director Dervis Zaim, ‘The Cyprus Trilogy’: Mud (Çamur,
2003), Parallel Trips (Paralel Yolculuklar/ Ta parállila monopátia [Τα παράλληλα μονοπάτια], codirected
with Panicos Chrysanthou, 2004), and Shadows and Faces (Gölgeler ve Suretler, 2011).
This trilogy is the most remarkable set of critical films about the partition of the island that have been
produced in post-Yesilçam Turkish film history. My analysis of Zaim’s film trilogy departs from the
assumption of the primacy of the phenomenological experiences of the postcolonial Cypriots over
geopolitical and macro-historical explanations. The reading of Dervis Zaim’s works about the
intercommunal civil wars in postcolonial Cyprus raises the question of the haunting/hauntedness.
Therefore, this Ph.D. thesis addresses hauntological themes such as disjointed time, memory,
historical justice, haunting, visor effect, voice, silence, ghost story, haunted house, haunted body, and
the absent other that appear persistently in the films. Throughout this thesis, the spatial/temporal,
vocal/narrative, and embodied/disembodied aspects of Zaim’s film trilogy are discussed, drawing
primarily upon a Derridean hauntology. Building a theoretical bridge between hauntology and
postcolonial cinema, the relationship between postcolonial memory, film, and haunting is examined in
the context of Cyprus. This thesis concludes by discussing the extent to which Dervis Zaim and his
spectral realist films have achieved the deconstruction of postcolonial memory through challenging
both the imperialist and nationalist structures imposed by dominant discourses.

description: To evaluate the co-migration potential between heavy metal ions and road runoff colloids, the influence of contact time, temperature, initial concentration of metal ions, pH, humic acid (HA), and polymetallic coexistence on the binding capacity of heavy metals onto runoff colloids were investigated. The adsorption of heavy metals by runoff colloids was extremely rapid, approximately 80% of the equilibrium adsorption capacity was achieved in the first 30 min. The binding capacity exhibited an increasing trend with the initial concentration of metal ions increasing, and the maximum adsorption capacities of Pb(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) achieved 159.13, 56.06, and 78.35 mg/g at 298 K, respectively. The adsorption capacity of Cu(II) and Cd(II) by runoff colloids increased with temperature increasing, while it displayed a converse trend for Pb(II). Neutral pH facilitated the combination of metal ions and runoff colloids. The presence of humic acid increased the binding capacity of Pb(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) onto runoff colloids by 72.19, 63.31, and 13.83mg/g, respectively. Compared to the monometallic systems, the binding capacity of Pb(II), Cu(II), and Cd(II) by runoff colloids decreased by 18.44%, 22.35%, and 56.06% in polymetallic systems, respectively. Pb(II) bounded with colloids in the road runoff should be controlled preferentially to avoid their migrations to aquatic environments.

description: Time-sharing Experiments for the Social Sciences (TESS) offers researchers the opportunity to capture the internal validity of experiments. Investigators submit proposals, and TESS fields successful proposals for free on a representative sample of adults in the United States. This experiment was conducted to investigate the extent to which individuals are aware of the social desirability of cynicism and use cynicism to signal knowledge and understanding of politics. Respondents were randomly assigned to one of three conditions in which they were asked to respond to measures of political cynicism honestly (control), with a socially desirable response, or with a social undesirable response. A total of 1,601 respondents participated. This allowed for comparison of levels of cynicism across treatments.
title: Forging the ‘Lady’s Hammer’: A Profile of Influence in the Life

description: The compositional oeuvre of Galina Ustvolskaya (1919-2006) was very largely unknown
outside the Soviet Union before the state’s collapse around 1991. There are still very few
studies dedicated to her work in any language. This thesis’ original contribution is to fill this
critical void, presenting a detailed biography based on unpublished materials, addressing the
philosophical and religious aesthetics of Ustvolskaya’s music, and discussing the theoretical
and technical issues involved in the music’s creation.

The thesis will argue that Ustvolskaya was one of the most important composers to
emerge in Soviet Russia after Shostakovich, and her music opened new dimensions for
Russian music by cultivating an original style in the midst of cultural and political calamity.
The striking drama of the music in her official catalogue does nothing but reinforce her
reputation – long-present in Russia and now growing in the West – as an uncompromising
composer who never failed to uphold her own individuality. Yet an examination of the
tumultuous socio-political climate of Soviet Russia, and the ideological control that the
authorities attempted to impose on Soviet artists during the period when Ustvolskaya was
most active as a composer, conveys the near-impossible situation with which she was faced.
Although some early works that were applauded by the regime were not included in her
personal catalogue, this study scrutinises these works alongside that catalogue in order to
achieve a deeper understanding of her entire compositional output.

By identifying the main artistic pursuits that were profoundly to influence
Ustvolskaya’s compositional output at its genesis, this thesis draws parallels between her
life’s work and other artistic traditions from both Russia and the West. An analytical
approach that combines social, historical, theological and political factors with musical
analysis here presents unexplored territories that enable a sound evaluation of the extramusical
content of Ustvolskaya’s musical language. An understanding of these forces
ultimately serves to locate her music in the wider context of her life and times, and aids a
deeper comprehension of exactly how The Lady’s Hammer was forged.
title: Particularities of Queer Utility: Gay Expertise and the Aesthetic Disposition
Creators: name: Russo, Joseph C.
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Queerness, Expertise, Aesthetics, Disposition, Utility

description: This thesis attempts a reconceptualization of queerness as it is discussed within queer

studies and popular cultural forms. It avoids the tendency towards queerness as pure 

abstraction, in which queerness constitutes an aleatoric force that defines some basic 

quality of nature (flux, change, chaos, possibility); it also attempts to find creative 

ways to circumvent a compartmentalization of queerness into identity formation. That 

is, it avoids describing queerness as either a phenomenon or an identity choice. 

Instead, this thesis conceives of queerness as a set of functions, or utilities, that enact 

social processes. In this work, these processes are referred to as ‘masks’ in order to 

exemplify their use value. By using Pierre Bourdieu’s notion of distinction and Guy 

Hocquenghem’s theory of homosexual desire, as well as engaging with contemporary 

works of queer theory, it presents an analysis of the figure of the ‘gay expert’ within 

popular culture discourses as an arbiter of aesthetics whose queer functionality (not 

ruling class status) provides him with cultural capital and the power to advise and 

instruct consumers. This power amounts to the ability to encode and decode cultural 

knowledge. Additionally, the concept of the ‘queer avatar’ is explored in analyses of 

various popular cultural forms, including professional wrestling and popular 

television series, in which a particular functionality of aberrance is deployed to 

various ends, including horror, satire, and valor.

description: This thesis is the account of cross-disciplinary research that explores spatial audio experiences in multimodal contexts. The practice of arranging dynamical modifications of spatial attributes of sound to create impressions of movement through sound has been applied to dance choreography and theatre. Using wave field synthesis and ambisonics technologies for spatial audio sound playback, two projects have been created: Stranded (2013), a joint choreography for three dancers and sonic movement in collaboration with choreographer Jalianne Li, and I Hear You See Me (2014), an audiovisual installation featuring participatory theatre, sonic movement, and motion graphics, in collaboration with theatre artist Silvia Mercuriali and visual artist Simon Wilkinson.

These works are the outcome of a complex collaborative exchange between the author and the mentioned artists and a comparison at multiple levels (aesthetic, technical, cultural) between the different disciplines involved, and propose alternative reflections about spatial audio composition. For example, the choreographic ideas of Li, the aesthetics and movement studies of Rudolf Laban, the works and writing of choreographers Mary Wigman, Merce Cunningham and Pina Bausch have all been used to evaluate the kinetic power of sonic movement and its strengths measured against the clarity and immediacy of a dancing body. The participatory strategies of Mercuriali’s theatre, the composite works by Len Lye's, Oskar Fischinger's audiovisual experiments, and historical and contemporary examples from kinetic and installation art have all helped to bring forward a further reflection over a shift of function of sound, from essence of a composition to instrument for realising a kinetic idea.

Highlighting the necessity of a multimodal context when using spatial audio, but limiting the idea of a Sonic Choreosophia to a simple suggestion, this thesis thus documents a novel approach of using sound to create movement per se, and its potential for further development.

description: To effectively solve the problem of tetracycline (TC) and Cu2+ contamination in wastewater, this study innovatively proposed a low-energy flow-electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI) technology to simultaneously remove TC and Cu2+ from wastewater. The removal efficiencies of TC and Cu2+ using FCDI was investigated under various voltages, electrode flow rates, influent flow rates, and electrode liquid concentrations. The results showed that the removal efficiency of TC and Cu2+ was 60.78% and 84.43%, respectively. The energy consumption for TC and Cu2+ removal was only 1.76 and 1.10 kWh kg−1, which was lower than other electrochemical systems. The ion removal performance of the FCDI system remained stable after six cycles of continuous operation. These findings demonstrated the promising potential of FCDI as an innovative technology for the simultaneous removal of TC and Cu2+, presenting a significant prospects for application in the water treatment field.

description: Mitigating methane (CH4) emissions using methanotrophs (methane-oxidizing bacteria, MOB), is a simple, energy efficient and cheap technology. The abundance and distribution of MOB in the environmental samples is critical for efficient removal of emitted CH4 from any source. This study evaluated the performance of farm soils without and with cheap, easily accessible bulking materials as sustainable hybrid biofilter media. Soil-only biofilters removed up to 865 ± 19 g CH4 m−3 d−1 with well-drained organic carbon-rich soils compared with 264 ± 14 g CH4 m−3 d−1 for poorly drained soil. The removal efficiency decreased with increasing flow rate (0.16→0.24 L min−1) and subsequent priming could not return soil biofilters to their previous removal rate. Hybrid biofilters using organic, carbon-rich soils and compost removed up to 2698 g CH4 m−3 d−1 (flow rate 0.35 L min−1). Increasing CH4 flow rates also reduced their efficiency, but the hybrid biofilters with compost quickly regained most of their efficiency and removed up to 2262 g CH4 m−3 d−1 (flow rate 0.3 L min−1) after remixing of biofilter media. These results show that hybrid biofilters removed higher CH4 than soil-only biofilters and were also more resilient. The MOB gene abundance results complement the CH4 removal capacity of both soil-only and hybrid biofilter materials used. The more aerobic, carbon-rich soils had more abundant MOB than the poorly drained soil. The most porous hybrid biofilter with compost and more available nutrients to sustain bacterial growth and activity had the highest MOB abundance and removed the most CH4.

description: In the present work, two common nano-alumina (NA) with different crystal forms (α-NA and γ-NA) are used to research the effects of steel slag−cement composite cementitious materials, which include the hydration properties and mechanical properties. The results show that the NA can enhance the strength of steel slag−cement composite cementitious materials, especially the early strength. Meanwhile, when the addition amount of γ-NA was 1%, the maximum compressive strength and flexural strength at 28 d were 35.43 and 5.21 MPa, respectively; when the addition amount of α-NA was 3%, the maximum compressive strength and flexural strength at 28 d were 36.27 and 4.89 MPa, respectively. In addition, according to the analysis of X-ray diffractometer and differential thermal analysis, it was concluded that the effects of the two types of alumina on the strength were mainly pozzolanic effect and filling effect. The pozzolanic effect of γ-NA was significantly stronger than that of α-NA. However, the large surface area of γ-NA affected the dispersion of the particles and the filling effect. According to scanning electron microscope analysis, compared with α-NA, γ-NA had significantly more hydration products and tighter adhesion. In conclusion, the addition of NA not only improved the properties but further realized the value-added utilization of steel slag.

description: The degradation kinetics, reaction pathways, and disinfection by-products formation of an organic UV filter, benzophenone-4 (BP4) during UV/persulfate oxidation were investigated. BP4 can hardly be degraded by UV alone, but can be effectively decomposed by UV/persulfate following pseudo-first order kinetics. BP4 degradation rate was enhanced with increasing persulfate dosage and decreasing pH from 8 to 5. However, the degradation rate of BP4 at pH 9 was higher than that at pH 8 because of the presence of phenolic group in BP4 structure. and SO4−⋅ were confirmed as the major contributors to BP4 decomposition in radical scavenging experiments, and the second-order rate constants between HO⋅ and BP4 as well as those between SO4−⋅ and BP4 were estimated by establishing and solving a kinetic model. The presence of Br− and humic acid inhibited the decomposition of BP4, while NO3− promoted it. The mineralisation of BP4 was only 9.1% at the persulfate concentration of 50 μM. Six degradation intermediates were identified for the promulgation of the reaction pathways of BP4 during UV/persulfate oxidation were proposed as a result. In addition, the formation of DBP in the sequential chlorination was evaluated at different persulfate dosages, pH values, and water matrix. The results of this study can provide essential knowledge for the effective control of DBP formation with reducing potential hazard to provide safe drinking water to the public. BP4 can be effectively degraded by UV/persulfate process, following pseudo-first order kinetics.OH⋅ and SO4−⋅ were identified as the main contributors to BP4 degradation during UV/persulfate process.The degradation pathways of BP4 during UV/persulfate process were proposed.Initial persulfate concentration and solution pH both affected the yield of DBPs.The higher toxic DBPs can be generated in the presence of Br− or NO3−.

description: Bacterial biofilms are 1,000 times harder to kill than planktonic bacteria. Spores are also harder to kill compared to vegetative cells. We developed a rapid model for establishing dry surface bacterial biofilms for disinfectant efficacy testing and challenged them with seven EPA-registered disinfectants. We also demonstrated that during the disinfection of surfaces contaminated with bacterial spores, disinfectant wipes may transfer spores from contaminated to uncontaminated surfaces.

description: We couple the L1 discretization of the Caputo fractional derivative in time with the Galerkin scheme to devise a linear numerical method for the semilinear subdiffusion equation. Two important points that we make are: nonsmooth initial data and time-dependent diffusion coefficient. We prove the stability and convergence of the method under weak assumptions concerning regularity of the diffusivity. We find optimal pointwise in space and global in time errors, which are verified with several numerical experiments.

description: To effectively solve the problem of tetracycline (TC) and Cu2+ contamination in wastewater, this study innovatively proposed a low-energy flow-electrode capacitive deionization (FCDI) technology to simultaneously remove TC and Cu2+ from wastewater. The removal efficiencies of TC and Cu2+ using FCDI was investigated under various voltages, electrode flow rates, influent flow rates, and electrode liquid concentrations. The results showed that the removal efficiency of TC and Cu2+ was 60.78% and 84.43%, respectively. The energy consumption for TC and Cu2+ removal was only 1.76 and 1.10 kWh kg−1, which was lower than other electrochemical systems. The ion removal performance of the FCDI system remained stable after six cycles of continuous operation. These findings demonstrated the promising potential of FCDI as an innovative technology for the simultaneous removal of TC and Cu2+, presenting a significant prospects for application in the water treatment field.

description: This work studied the auxin-like activity of liquid and solid hydrochar from aboveground corn biomass prepared using hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). Understanding the action of organic compounds in regulating plant metabolism is important to develop strategies to improve plant growth and production. Bioassays were performed by testing liquid hydrochar concentrations in the range of 0.0557-5570.0 mg carbon L−1; and solid hydrochar (via extracted dissolved organic matter, DOM) in the range of 0.026-2600.0 mg carbon L−1, using seeds of Lactuca sativa. SEM, ATR-FTIR, and Py-GC/MS were applied to assess the effect of HTC on hydrochar production/composition. Liquid hydrochar presented an intense bioactivity, completely inhibiting the germination of testing seeds at higher concentrations. Liquid hydrochar also was considerably more bioactive. Py-GC/MS allowed the identification of the molecules involved in IAA-like effects: carboxylic acids (linear and aromatic) and amino acids. The concentration of more bioactive molecules, rather than their simple presence in the hydrochar fraction, determined the bio-stimulating effect, besides an excellent linear regression between the auxin-like effect and the concentration of active molecules.
