Versions of the Female Stranger: Muriel Spark’s Preoccupation with Exile
Creators: name: POPOVA, JUDITH
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2022

description: This thesis aims to offer a fresh perspective from the concentration on religious criticism and metafiction that dominate readings of Spark’s fiction by commenting more widely than has been done before on her preoccupation with exile. I redefine what is meant by Spark’s ‘exilic phase’, classifying it as a fourteen-year period starting with The Mandelbaum Gate in 1965 and extending to Territorial Rights in 1979. By categorising eight of her protagonists as fictional representations of the female stranger, I examine Spark’s engagement with the feminine experience of exile throughout her fiction.
description: The first chapter argues that Robinson (1958), The Mandelbaum Gate (1965), and The Public Image (1967) contain the first three female strangers to emerge in Spark’s fiction – January, Barbara and Annabel – and are the only ones who experience their mobility being constrained forcibly by men within their foreign settings. In chapter two, I discuss the considerable shift in the representation of the female stranger of The Driver’s Seat. Lise’s empowerment over her mobility and death sets the tone for how future versions of the female stranger in Spark’s fiction navigate space and renegotiate power relations with men in their narratives. The third chapter focuses on The Hothouse by the East River and The Takeover as the female strangers of both novels continue to subvert traditional gender roles and power dynamics. The fourth chapter turns to a different version of a female stranger and the last of her exilic period in Territorial Rights and analyses how Spark critiques the Western gaze cast on the Eastern European refugee. I conclude with the final and longest settled female stranger in Spark’s fiction – Hildegard in Aiding and Abetting – to show how this figure exhibits familiar exilic tropes and reflects Spark’s interest in exile re-emerging after twenty-one years.

The Potential for Regional Express Trains when Introducing High‐speed Operation
Creators: name: Landex, Alex
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2009

description: To operate faster trains it is likely that the capacity has to be improved. The improvements can be done by changing the operation, the procedures and/or the rolling stock. However, often it is necessary to improving the capacity of the railway by increasing the number of tracks, it is often discussed if the new tracks should be built along the existing railway line or a new railway line should be built. This paper examines the two possibilities regarding to a capacity perspective, increased speed, and possible changes in the route network. More trains can be operated with a homogeneous operation compared to a heterogeneous operation. However, operation with fast Intercity Express and Intercity trains, and slower regional and freight trains leads to a heterogeneous operation if the different train classes are not operated on separate tracks – alternatively the fastest trains have to be slowed down. Different railway lines for fast and slower train operation results in an approximately homogeneous operation and thus more capacity. The extra capacity can be used to operate more (regional) trains on the existing railway line, better service for long distance commuters by having skip stop services, and/or regular interval timetables. Furthermore, the new railway lines for high-speed operation can very often improve the service of the regional trains by introducing regional express trains operating on these lines.

En strategi for sikkerhed og interoperabilitet på jernbanen i Danmark
Creators: name: Rasmussen, Jesper
Publisher: name: Proceedings from the Annual Transport Conference at Aalborg University
Year: 2009

description: I februar 2009 offentliggjorde Trafikstyrelsen en strategi for sikkerhed og interoperabilitet , der imødegår nogle af de væsentligste udfordringer, som den danske jernbane står overfor i de kommende år. Jernbanen skal transformeres fra etat til erhvervssektor og gøres mere effektiv ved gennemførelse af EU-regelreformen af jernbanen. Samtidig skal det høje sikkerhedsniveau bevares. De tre hovedbudskaber for gennemførelsen af den fælleseuropæiske jernbane i Danmark er 1) at sikkerhedsniveauet skal bevares, men fremover skal det defineres og måles på en anden måde end hidtil; ud fra et nationalt sikkerhedsmål, 2) gennemførelsen af regelreformen skal være helhedsorienteret – danske særregler og undtagelser skal undgås, og 3) overgangen fra etat til erhvervssektor skal fremmes gennem dialog og gradvist større selvforvaltning i virksomhederne.

description: Background Routinely gathered injury data, such as hospitalisations, may be subject to variation from sources other than injury incidence. There is a need for an indicator that defines severe injury, which may be less vulnerable to fluctuations due to changes in care policies. The purpose of this study was to identify International Classification of Diseases-10 codes associated with severe paediatric injuries and to specify and validate a severe paediatric injury indicator. Methods Two data sets that included the ISS and the survival risk ratio were used to produce a list of diagnoses to define severe paediatric injury. The list was sent to trauma surgeons who classified each code as severe enough or not severe enough to require care in a trauma centre. The indicator was fully specified, then validated by using a different data set to validate the codes in a real-world situation. Results Sixty diagnoses were identified as representing severe paediatric injury. Following specification, the indicator was applied to an existing comprehensive data set of paediatric injuries. The decline in hospitalisation of paediatric injuries was significantly steeper for severe than non-severe injuries, suggesting that factors related to the decline in this trauma subset are unlikely to be related to changes in access or other components of trauma care delivery. Conclusions This indicator can be used for the evaluation of trends in severe paediatric trauma and will help identify populations at risk. This research may inform policies and procedures for referrals of severe childhood injury to appropriate levels of care.

Public relations and climate change impacts: developing a collaborative response
Creators: name: Galloway, Chris
name: Lynn, Margaret
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Global climate change effects pose problems both for community development professionals concerned with strengthening communities and for public relations practitioners confronting communication challenges. This paper suggests that each discipline has something to offer the other in dealing with communities facing climate change impacts. Collaboration between them could help implement the vision of public relations-as-community-building several scholars have advocated over the past two decades. Creating such a linkage would entail significant adjustments, especially for public relations. Yet over time, there could be a payoff in greater social and symbolic capital. Two scenarios discuss how joint public relations-community development approaches could work.
Low rank modelling for polyphonic music analysis.
Creators: name: O'Brien, Cian
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: This thesis deals with the problem of Automatic Music Transcription (AMT), which aims to extract the pitch and timing information from recorded music signals. AMT is a challenging problem that is closely related to source separation and sparse mod- eling. Many approaches use latent variable models where the goal is to extract the underlying explanatory factors (musical pitches) which best explain the signal in question. A fundamental technique is the Nonnegative Matrix Factorization (NMF) algorithm which seeks to decompose the signal into a linear combination of nonneg- ative templates. However, NMF fails to account for the structure of music signals such as time smoothness. We introduce extensions of NMF to more accurately model music signals. The motivating assumption is that good transcriptions tend to have a low-rank structure, which when taken into account can improve the transcription performance. First, we extend classical NMF to a Low-Rank NMF model, based on work in low- rank matrix completion. We explore the connection between optimization of the matrix nuclear norm and proximal algorithms to derive a model that results in low- rank transcriptions. The nuclear norm approach is then extended to non-convex penalties which more accurately reflect the desired low-rank assumption. Next, we extend these ideas to deal with models in which the resulting transcription is locally low-rank, which we argue is a better model of music signals. An algorithm based on NMF and submodular function optimization is introduced, which learns a collection of local models. It is shown that this leads to further improvement for the AMT task. Finally, we develop a probabilistic framework that represents the signal using a hi- erarchy of local models. and discuss the interpretation of the proposed approaches as hard and soft clustering methods. We find that the proposed probabilistic “soft clustering” algorithm leads to further performance gains for the AMT task, outper- forming comparable state-of-the-art AMT systems which are based on NMF.

The Development of an Early Stage Design Tool to Assess the Risk of Overheating for UK Residential Buildings
Creators: name: Botti, Andrea
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: Evidence demonstrates that tackling indoor overheating is a key priority within the context of climate change adaptation, particularly for residential buildings, whose occupants are more likely to be highly exposed and vulnerable to it. The overarching aim of the research is to provide guidance for building designers on how to minimise the overheating risk of new residential buildings in the UK, to ensure these can be capable of maintaining thermal comfort in a changing climate. The first part of the research involved using two case studies to explore different aspects of the problem. A climate change adaptation study explored and assessed measures for future-proofing an extra-care scheme in the north of England, highlighting the importance of early-stage analysis and client’s engagement through effective communication. A post-occupancy study on a new social housing development helped to gain an understanding of the role of building occupants in perceiving and acting upon overheating, and emphasised discrepancies between design predictions and actual in-use performance. In the second part of the research, the development a Rapid Overheating ASSessment Tool is presented, seeking to encourage practitioners to appropriately consider thermal comfort in a changing climate, by providing rapid feedback on the overheating risk associated with the early-stage design decisions. The focus is on flats in multi-storey buildings located in London. An overheating risk database was populated with the results of a large number of parametric dynamic thermal simulations, which included iterative variations of design aspects corresponding to known over-heating risk factors. Statistical meta-models were developed by means of alternative regression techniques, allowing to quantify the relative importance of each risk factor and make ‘good-enough’ predictions with input available at the early-design stages. Finally, the work to develop two types of user interface is presented, with the goal of allowing relevant and meaningful information to be extracted from the engine of the tool by its prospective users.

description: Background: Epigenetic biomarkers of aging (the “epigenetic clock”) have the potential to address puzzling findings surrounding mortality rates and incidence of cardio-metabolic disease such as: (1) women consistently exhibiting lower mortality than men despite having higher levels of morbidity; (2) racial/ethnic groups having different mortality rates even after adjusting for socioeconomic differences; (3) the black/white mortality cross-over effect in late adulthood; and (4) Hispanics in the United States having a longer life expectancy than Caucasians despite having a higher burden of traditional cardio-metabolic risk factors. Results: We analyzed blood, saliva, and brain samples from seven different racial/ethnic groups. We assessed the intrinsic epigenetic age acceleration of blood (independent of blood cell counts) and the extrinsic epigenetic aging rates of blood (dependent on blood cell counts and tracks the age of the immune system). In blood, Hispanics and Tsimane Amerindians have lower intrinsic but higher extrinsic epigenetic aging rates than Caucasians. African-Americans have lower extrinsic epigenetic aging rates than Caucasians and Hispanics but no differences were found for the intrinsic measure. Men have higher epigenetic aging rates than women in blood, saliva, and brain tissue. Conclusions: Epigenetic aging rates are significantly associated with sex, race/ethnicity, and to a lesser extent with CHD risk factors, but not with incident CHD outcomes. These results may help elucidate lower than expected mortality rates observed in Hispanics, older African-Americans, and women.

Stellar binaries throughout the cosmos: interactions and remnants
Creators: name: Hendriks, David Douwe
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2024

description: In this dissertation, we study the interaction of stars in binary systems and the remnants they leave behind. Binary systems play an important role in stellar evolution, the stars within them influence each other through mass transfer and tides, they often host massive stars that explode as supernovae, and they may lead to high-velocity ejections. Moreover, they are ideal laboratories for studying accretion disks. Improving our understanding of these systems is vital and is the main aim of this thesis.

description:

description: We study the process of mass transfer in systems where the donor star rotates either more slowly or faster than the rotation of the orbit. We find that mass streams from sub-synchronous donors approach the accretor much closer than in the synchronous case, and that self-accretion always synchronises the donor with the orbit. In populations of inter-acting binaries with main-sequence accretors, we find that disk mass-transfer may play a significant role, but since many of these systems transfer mass with sub-synchronous donors, taking into account the asynchronous effects on the mass stream is likely to reduce this importance.

description:

description: Based on detailed stellar models, we improve the tidal interaction between binaries and compare synthetic populations with observations of binaries in open clusters. While the improved models have little effect on the eccentricity distributions, they do lead to more synchronised binaries.

description:

description: We also study the formation of binary black hole mergers and compare our results with observations. We find that the tentative feature at 35 M is unlikely to be caused by the pulsating pair-instability supernovae and must therefore be caused by other (binary) interactions. Moreover, these high-mass black hole systems are formed mainly either by stable mass transfer or by merging without interaction due to the supernova kicks at the formation of the black holes.

description: Anxiety and depression are key contributors to the global burden of disease. However, treatmentsfor these mental health disorders are not always efficacious and there is evidence of a largetreatment gap: affected individuals are often unable or unwilling to access treatment that couldbenefit them. Meanwhile, evidence for the beneficial effects of nature on mental health is steadilybuilding, and the translation of natural environments to virtual reality forms constitute a method toovercome this issue of accessibility. The present thesis reports on the development and evaluationof a virtual reality nature intervention for depression and anxiety, facilitated through four studies. InStudies 1 and 2, practicing psychotherapists (n=9, Study 1) and university students with symptoms ofdepression and/or anxiety (n=7, Study 2) trialled and evaluated this intervention, with their feedbackgathered through semi-structured interviews. Results indicated strong potential for the environmentto be used as an intervention, and suggestions for refinement of the intervention/environment weremade and consequently implemented. In Study 3, the potential for a revised version of theenvironment to influence short-term affect was measured in individuals with symptoms ofdepression and/or anxiety (n=14). A 10-minute session using the environment was found tosignificantly decrease negative affect and increase feelings of relaxation (‘serenity’) across thesample. In Study 4, participants from Study 3 completed a two-week trial where they endeavouredto use the VR intervention daily. Adherence to the study protocol was high and the group’ssymptoms of depression and anxiety significantly decreased across the study period, though thisremained significant for only depression when compared to a control period. Nevertheless, thisthesis suggests that VR nature could be used in this population for the management of both short-term affect and longer-term mental health.

Multimedia Learning Technology for Rural Malaysia

description: Multimedia technology which refers to the interactive and computer-based application, is seen as a way to enhance the teaching and learning process as well as promoting active learning among students. However, despite the realisation of ubiquitous Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) infrastructures and practices in much of the developed world, a digital divide still exists in developing countries, such as Malaysia. Although Malaysia has long recognised the importance of the ICTs to encourage national development, studies conducted by the Malaysian government agencies found that the rural areas of the country are lag behind others in terms of technological access and use despite various efforts by the government. This indirectly indicates that the provision of the technology itself is inadequate to encourage the rural community to use technological devices because it is crucial to understand the community and culture before introducing multimedia technology for rural developing regions, especially in education. We conducted initial fieldwork in rural Malaysia at two rural primary schools with different student populations; an aboriginal school and a Malay school to establish the requirements needed by the targeted community. We used three data collection methods; remote questionnaire survey, interview and a practical multimedia creation workshop, to answer our initial research question:- What are the key requirements for multimedia learning technology in the context of a rural village school? We extracted thirteen user requirements from the analysis of the overall study data. Card sorting technique, then, is used to generate thirty design ideas to fulfil different combinations of requirements. The idea of a multimedia creative writing system was chosen for further development, because of its widespread applicability to a variety of taught subjects. This digital storytelling system was named as Get2Gether. The prototyping and evaluation of Get2Gether helped to answer our other two research questions; What is the role of digital storytelling in rural Malaysian classrooms? How do we design and implement low-cost and scalable technology for learning in rural regions? A separate usability test of Get2Gether was conducted in a third school, before a four-week field trial in our two original schools. These revealed a great attraction of the system for students but limited uptake by teachers in conventional lessons. It is found that most of the teachers were not ready to transform their method of teaching although the teachers were aware that technology plays a vital role in contemporary teaching and learning process and requested time to adapt to it. Students, on the other hand, were more than ready to try out the system to create their multimedia narratives in a variety of lessons. The implications for the design and implementation of learning technologies in these settings are discussed.

The Structure of Dwarf Galaxies in Extreme Environments
Creators: name: Gregory, Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of Surrey
Year: 2020

description: The environment in which a galaxy resides plays a key role in how both the stellar component and the dark matter halo evolve. Satellites of massive halos provide important clues as to how accreted halos develop in a dense environment, and are subjected to unique effects such as tidal disruption and gas stripping. Isolated galaxies are shielded from effects induced by other galaxies, and so represent a `clean' test of how galaxies grow in the context of the $____Lambda$CDM paradigm. In this work, I examine the structure of a number of dwarf galaxies in a range of environments, from the most isolated members of the Local Group to satellites of the Milky Way, and consider what this suggests about the evolution of the galaxy halo. I first present new spectroscopy of the isolated dwarf spheroidal galaxy Tucana. Tucana displays a high velocity dispersion consistent with residing in a dense subhalo. I perform Jeans modelling of the density profile of Tucana, using the line--of--sight velocities of its member stars. I find that it favours a high central density consistent with pristine $____Lambda$CDM subhalos, and a massive dark matter halo consistent with expectations from abundance matching. Tucana appears to be significantly more centrally dense than other isolated Local Group dwarfs, and it is plausible that the dearth of recent star formation has allowed it to retain its central mass. I then present new chemo--kinematics of Hercules, a Milky Way satellite which is purported to be tidally disrupting on the basis of its elongated shape and apparent debris surrounding the central galaxy. I find little evidence for tidal disruption in the kinematics of Hercules, with no significant velocity gradient across the galaxy. The proper motion of Hercules is shown to be misaligned with the position angle of the elongation, contrary to expectations from simulations, although this may be resolved by future astrometry. With current data, the orbital path of Hercules is too uncertain to determine the extent to which Hercules has been affected by the tidal influence of the Milky Way. In the final chapter I introduce a new survey of isolated, low mass dwarf galaxies in the Local Group. Under $____Lambda$CDM, galaxies at all mass scales are believed to grow through hierarchical merging of smaller bodies. Traces of this accretion history should be observable as substructures in the virial halo of galaxies. Using photometry of isolated dwarfs across a range of low halo masses, this survey aims to quantify whether such structured halos are observed at all scales, or whether there is a mass scale at which galaxies no longer accrete smaller systems.

Are the IT outsourcing strategies and IT governance of large companies practical for the NRW police and in which issues do they differ?
Creators: name: Blind, Uwe
Publisher: name: University of Surrey

description: Summary of the research The research question was to determine whether the IT governance and IT outsourcing strategies of large private companies would be practical for the NRW police and how do they differ. IT outsourcing is a common strategy in private commerce, but this relatively new for police organisations. In the past, the police have copied trends from the private sector after a delay of about ten years. In most cases, consultancy companies have advised the government to do this. But it is not useful to follow trends when companies in the private sector have already developed new strategies to adjust for errors. This research aimed to discover how large companies manage IT governance and IT outsourcing in comparison with the police. IT governance is part of governance and IT outsourcing belongs to IT governance. In this research I described how governance in private companies and in the public service works. The intent was to find an IT company (T-systems and Telekom), a multimedia media company (Bertelsmann) and a company from the producing sector (Ruhrpumpen). This partly involved identifying their current outsourcing situation. A further step was to develop an IT governance cycle for each organisation in accordance with the COBIT framework and IT governance focus areas: strategic alignment, resource management, value management and performance management. The next step was to identify core IT capabilities in large organisations in accordance with Lacity and Willcocks’ theory of nine core IT capabilities. In the final step, these capabilities were mapped to the COBIT focus areas to develop an IT governance model which could be adapted for the police force. Case studies were conducted at the Ministry of the Interior, three police authorities and large private companies based on Yin’s case study methods. The results were analysed using a multiple-case and cross-case analysis. My initial assumption was that the police would have more IT weaknesses and private companies would have better IT organisation and IT architecture. This would have made it easy to see clearer results. However, the police have made up ground in recent years. Nevertheless, I identified several core IT capabilities which need to be improved to optimise the police’s current IT strategy.
