description: In this paper, we propose a novel sampling-based planner for multi-goal path planning among obstacles, where the objective is to visit predefined target locations while minimizing the travel costs. The order of visiting the targets is often achieved by solving the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) or its variants. TSP requires to define costs between the individual targets, which - in a map with obstacles - requires to compute mutual paths between the targets. These paths, found by path planning, are used both to define the costs (e.g., based on their length or time-to-traverse) and also they define paths that are later used in the final solution. To enable TSP finding a good-quality solution, it is necessary to find these target-to-target paths as short as possible. We propose a sampling-based planner called Space-Filling Forest (SFF*) that solves the part of finding collision-free paths. SFF* uses multiple trees (forest) constructed gradually and simultaneously from the targets and attempts to find connections with other trees to form the paths. Unlike Rapidly-exploring Random Tree (RRT), which uses the nearest-neighbor rule for selecting nodes for expansion, SFF* maintains an explicit list of nodes for expansion. Individual trees are grown in a RRT* manner, i.e., with rewiring the nodes to minimize their cost. Computational results show that SFF* provides shorter target-to-target paths than existing approaches, and consequently, the final TSP solutions also have a lower cost.
title: Performing spirituality in music therapy: 
Towards action, context and the everyday
Creators: name: Tsiris, Giorgos
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: music therapy, spirituality, performance, action, context, the everyday, survey, ethnography, boundary object, hybrid pneumatology

description: Despite various theoretical explorations of spirituality in music therapy, including debates about its perceived threat to music therapy’s development as a legitimate profession, only a relatively small number of empirical studies have been conducted to date. Exploring mostly individual experiences of spirituality, these studies tend to focus on positive aspects of spirituality, such as peak moments.  

With no single definition of spirituality, this thesis sets outs to open up a space where diverse, even conflicting, spiritualities are explored. It is based on two complementary studies through which I explore music therapists’ perceptions of spirituality and its (ir)relevance to music therapy (pilot study) as well as the performance of spirituality in everyday music therapy contexts (follow-up study). The pilot study is an international survey of 358 qualified and trainee music therapists whilst the follow-up study is an ethnographically-informed exploration of spirituality within three UK-based music therapy contexts. The survey findings provide an insight into music therapists’ perceptions of spirituality, including its place in their training, practice and professional life. Music therapists’ dilemmas and suggestions for future actions regarding spirituality are also highlighted. Adopting a performative view of spirituality, the ethnographically-informed study offers an exploration of spirituality in-action and in-situ. The findings expand beyond immediate music-making situations, to include broader professional practices, systems and frameworks pertaining to spirituality in and around music therapy. This involves a critical investigation of professional vocabularies, identities, and organisational values and agendas in connection to music therapists’ stances and practices.

The thesis suggests a hybrid pneumatology in music therapy. Characterised by interpretative elasticity, spirituality emerges as a ‘boundary object’; a hybrid construct which affords the co-existence of unfinished spiritualities as well as their multiple and heterogeneous translations. Repositioning spirituality as a vital subject area in music therapy, the thesis draws implications for further developments in the field.
title: The transnational family: migration, family and rituals among Brazilian migrant women in the UK
Creators: name: Tonhati, Tania Mara Passarelli
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Transnational families, Brazilian migration, Family rituals, Ritualizing as family

description: This thesis explores how Brazilian migrant women ‘do family’ with their family members in Brazil. Of particular importance is their practice of family rituals and the giving of ritualist features to family practices to create and recreate a sense of familyhood, even while living at a distance for an extended period of time. The thesis dialogues with transnational family studies that consider the significance and continuity of family relationships in the process of migration. I investigate this in relation to and through the perspective of Brazilian women in London where, despite being populous, they remain a largely understudied migrant group. My investigation is framed by a qualitative methodological framework that includes a multi-sited ethnography at participant houses, biographical interviews and diaries. Fieldwork was carried out in the UK and in Brazil over 21 months, including thirty biographical interviews at the participants’ houses in both locations, and seven daily diaries, reporting the Brazilian women migrants’ daily interaction with their family members in Brazil. My analysis considers the process of ritualization of family life and the creation and recreation of family (in daily, weekly, monthly or annual events, or during the life-course) through communication technologies (letters, telephone, video communication) and visits that constitute the conditions of mediation for families living far apart. I show that ritualizing as a family involves a set of activities heavily encoded with symbolic and affective meanings as well as some constraints which can influence the capacity and opportunity to practise them. I conclude that the process of ritualization of family practices done by the Brazilian transnational families in this study was especially important for them, in order to (re)constitute their sense of familyhood at a distance.

Dewetting of a thin polymer film under shear

description: The objective of this work is to study the role of shear on the rupture of ultrathin polymer films. To do so, a finite-difference numerical scheme for the resolution of the thin film equation was set up taking into account capillary and van der Waals (vdW) forces. This method was validated by comparing the dynamics obtained from an initial harmonic perturbation to established theoretical predictions. With the addition of shear, three regimes have then been evidenced as a function of the shear rate. In the case of low shear rates the rupture is delayed when compared to the no-shear problem, while at higher shear rates it is even suppressed: the perturbed interface goes back to its unperturbed state over time. In between these two limiting regimes, a transient one in which shear and vdW forces balance each other, leading to a non-monotonic temporal evolution of the perturbed interface, has been identified. While a linear analysis is sufficient to describe the rupture time in the absence of shear, the nonlinearities appear to be essential otherwise.
title: A Far Cry From A No Thing: Psychoanalytic Perspectives on Women and Secondary Amenorrhea
Creators: name: Redland, Danielle Fortunee
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Amenorrhea, menstruation, psychoanalysis, Emma Eckstein, Pygmalion, anorexia, Freud, Hysteria

description: Secondary amenorrhea is predominantly viewed outside of the social norms, somehow beyond the natural order of things.  It might appear to reside in the shadows of its menstruating counterpart, viewed as that which is lacking, but this thesis will prove otherwise. 

Secondary amenorrhea is a very powerful and present symbol that makes its mark in medical, cultural, social, anthropological, political and religious life. Narratives of womanhood and statehood dominate. Examples will be draw from women in war and the Holocaust, hysterics of the late nineteenth century, prominence of patriarchy, gynecology, psychogenic trauma and eating disorders.  

What though for the individual?  What does it mean when a woman of menstruating age stops bleeding and what does it matter to her or to us?  This thesis considers how the mind weighs heavily on the body. Through the application of psychoanalytic thinking, this thesis will link the cessation of menses to the unconscious registers suggesting that there is a communication of the psyche that looks to the body to find expression. Issues of symbiosis, inter-dependency, individuation, alienation, separation and loss are themes that recur in cultural and historical narratives worldwide and in the clinical work. These are discussed using examples from the consulting room.  Psychic conflict and the search for resolution will be demonstrated in a psychoanalytic review of Ovid's Pygmalion and Shaw's retelling of the story.  We shall also consider the role of the analyst by studying Freud's failed treatment of Emma Eckstein.
 
The purpose of this thesis is to show just how much presence there is in this supposed absence.
Liquid Transfer for Viscoelastic Solutions

description: Viscoelastic liquid transfer from one surface to another is a process that finds applications in many technologies, primarily in printing. Here, cylindrical shaped capillary bridges pinned between two parallel disks are considered. Specifically, the effects of polymer mass fraction, solution viscosity, disk diameter, initial aspect ratio, final aspect ratio, stretching velocity and filling fraction (alike contact angle) are experimentally investigated in uniaxial extensional flow. Both Newtonian and viscoelastic polymer solutions are prepared using polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polyethylene oxide (PEO), with a wide variety of mass fractions. The results show that the increase in polymer mass fraction and solvent viscosity reduces the liquid transfer to the top surface. Moreover, the increase in the initial and final stretching height of the capillary bridge also decreases the liquid transfer, for both Newtonian and viscoelastic solutions. Finally, the shape of the capillary bridge is varied by changing the liquid volume. Now, Newtonian and viscoelastic solutions exhibit opposite behaviors for the liquid transfer. These findings are discussed in terms of interfacial shape instability and gravitational drainage.

title: ‘Everything … as a Gloss on Everything Else' : Life and Work in Paul Auster
Creators: name: Zhang, Meiping
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Finitude, Acknowledgement, Language, Philosophy, American Literature

description: The thesis examines a variety of philosophical implications in Paul Auster’s works, crossing American culture with Continental thought. Focusing on such subjects as solitude, community, the idea of America, the idea of the work (of art), the ontology of film, the disastrous and the ordinary, it aims to develop intersections of Auster’s works with the thoughts of Stanley Cavell and Maurice Blanchot.

Blanchot has already been introduced into recent Auster criticism. But this is not the main reason why I use Cavell, instead of Blanchot, to set the tone for my study. Contrary to past research, which tends to divide into discrete areas, emphasising either Auster’s postmodern textuality or critical engagement, his American roots or European affiliations, my study is concerned with how these divisions can be reassessed and negotiated. A Cavellian reading of Auster is valuable not only because the themes Cavell discovers in Thoreau and Emerson (such as Moral Perfectionism) provide insight into Auster’s engagement with American Transcendentalism, but also because his way of reading is indissociable from his interests in Continental tradition, as well as in film and literature. I share these interests in my own reading of Auster; they help reconstruct the pictures of life and work, of self and other, of singularity and commonality, of ordinariness and extraordinariness.

Additionally, I look at certain Blanchotian aspects of Auster’s writing, highlighting what has not been previously noted, such as the withdrawal and exigency of community in Moon Palace. Blanchot’s ideas of unworking (désoeuvrement) and disaster further define the ethico-ontological dimension of being. This does not essentially counter Cavell’s emphasis on the ordinary but rather reveals its difficulty. On the whole my reading suggests a logic of eternal return that underlies the entwinement of Cavellian and Blanchotian strands in Auster, which reflects both human vulnerability and responsibility.

In this work, we focus on estimating local modes and density ridges from point cloud data in a product space combining two or more Euclidean and/or directional metric spaces. Specifically, our approach extends the (subspace constrained) mean shift algorithm to such product spaces, addressing potential challenges in the generalization process. We establish the algorithmic convergence of the proposed methods, along with practical implementation guidelines. Experiments on simulated and real-world datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed methods.

description: This tumulus (the southmost of the three) is very large, but much the smallest of them. It had no more flints in it than what are usually met with. The grave was about four feet deep: from the confused manner in which we found the bones lying in the bottom of it, we were convinced of its having been opened before. Several bones of oxen, as I think, and some sherds of an ossuary, were found in getting down.[1][1]The mixed character of the Beakesbourne tumuli is too obvious to need comment: the large quantities of flints, the fragments of single urns, the bones of animals, and the absence of those objects which signalize Roman and Saxon graves, indicate the Celtic origin of several of them, and, consequently, the early appropriation of the site as a place of sepulture.- C.R.S.

description: We propose a novel approach to enable Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) for Non-Intrusive Appliance Load Monitoring (NIALM), also known as Energy Disaggregation, through Bayesian Optimization. NIALM offers a cost-effective alternative to smart meters for measuring the energy consumption of electric devices and appliances. NIALM methods analyze the entire power consumption signal of a household and predict the type of appliances as well as their individual power consumption (i.e., their contributions to the aggregated signal). We enable NIALM domain experts and practitioners who typically have no deep data analytics or Machine Learning (ML) skills to benefit from state-of-the-art ML approaches to NIALM. Further, we conduct a survey and benchmarking of the state of the art and show that in many cases, simple and basic ML models and algorithms, such as Decision Trees, outperform the state of the art. Finally, we present our open-source tool, AutoML4NIALM, which will facilitate the exploitation of existing methods for NIALM in the industry.

description: A growing body of literature in fairness-aware machine learning (fairML) aims to mitigate machine learning (ML)-related unfairness in automated decision-making (ADM) by defining metrics that measure fairness of an ML model and by proposing methods to ensure that trained ML models achieve low scores on these metrics. However, the underlying concept of fairness, i.e., the question of what fairness is, is rarely discussed, leaving a significant gap between centuries of philosophical discussion and the recent adoption of the concept in the ML community. In this work, we try to bridge this gap by formalizing a consistent concept of fairness and by translating the philosophical considerations into a formal framework for the training and evaluation of ML models in ADM systems. We argue that fairness problems can arise even without the presence of protected attributes (PAs), and point out that fairness and predictive performance are not irreconcilable opposites, but that the latter is necessary to achieve the former. Furthermore, we argue why and how causal considerations are necessary when assessing fairness in the presence of PAs by proposing a fictitious, normatively desired (FiND) world in which PAs have no causal effects. In practice, this FiND world must be approximated by a warped world in which the causal effects of the PAs are removed from the real-world data. Finally, we achieve greater linguistic clarity in the discussion of fairML. We outline algorithms for practical applications and present illustrative experiments on COMPAS data.

title: Usher syndrome: A phenomenological
study of adults across the lifespan living
in England
Creators: name: Evans, Michelle Deborah
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 2017

description: Usher syndrome is a rare inherited genetic condition which is one of the main
causes of acquired deafblindness in the United Kingdom (UK). Although the
condition is not life threatening, it is life altering and will have a significant impact on
the lives of not only the person diagnosed with the condition, but also their families,
friendship groups and new and existing relationships.
The aim of the study was to develop an understanding of the experiences of
diagnosis of and living with Usher syndrome, from the perspective of adults living in
England. Specific objectives of the study were to explore the experience of being
diagnosed with Usher syndrome; explore the transition from adolescence to
adulthood for people who have Usher syndrome; to develop an understanding of the
experience of living with Usher syndrome, including support, developmental
opportunities and the role of the Deaf community; to disseminate original findings;
inform future practice, service development, policy and education and make
recommendations for further research relating to the experience of living with Usher
syndrome.
To address these aims and objectives, this qualitative, descriptive
phenomenological study, conducted interviews with 20 males and females aged
between 18-82 years from a variety of demographic locations. To contribute to the
trustworthiness of the study, I developed a methodological innovation called
‘Multiple Sensory Communication and Interview Methods’ (MSCIM) which ensured
that as far as possible communication and interview methods were participant led.
Three overarching messages from findings were revealed: the importance of
ensuring communication is timely, supportive and appropriate; Usher support at the right time: providing physical and virtual support networks and essentiality of Usher
awareness: raising the profile.
This study is unique because it is the first qualitative, descriptive phenomenological
study to demonstrate new knowledge to better understand and support people living
with Usher in England.

description: Pretty large tumulus; the grave full six feet deep. Here we met with a very extraordinary phenomenon, namely, two skeletons in sitting postures, with their backs against the head of the grave; their bones were remarkably sound, strong, and large; the skulls, which were also very sound and firm, had each of them received a very violent cut, which must certainly have been the cause of their death. The cuts were both on the left side of the occiput; one of them a little above and rather behind the meatus auditorius; this entered obliquely into the cavity of the skull, and was fully three inches and a half in length, and wide enough to admit the largest goose-quill. The other was a little lower than the meatus auditorius, and still more behind it. The stroke in this case appeared to have been given almost horizontally, and in such a manner as almost to separate the whole lower part of the skull from the upper. I stood by, and saw both of these skulls taken out, and am very certain that they did not receive any cuts from the tools of the workmen. It is, however, impossible that they could; for in their dry and brittle condition a very small stroke would have entirely shivered them in pieces.At the depth of about two feet under them, lay a third skeleton, at full length, the bones of which were much more decayed. The coffin appeared to have been pretty thick, and had passed the fire. Nothing was found with either of them; but at different depths in getting down, were several fragments of a largish coarse urn of black earth (broken in digging the grave for the persons here interred, as I imagine); and a fore tooth of a horse or ox, or of some such large animal.

Subjects: subject: Emerging Technologies (cs.ET)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We present new ways of producing a channel chart [1] employing model-based approaches. We estimate the angle of arrival theta and the distance rho between the base station and the user equipment by employing our algorithms, inverse of the root sum squares of channel coefficients (ISQ) algorithm, linear regression (LR) algorithm, and MUSIC/MUSIC (MM) algorithm. We compare these methods with the channel charting algorithms principal component analysis (PCA), Sammon's method (SM), and autoencoder (AE) [1]. We show that ISQ, LR, and MM surpass PCA, SM, and AE in performance. We also compare our algorithm MM with an algorithm from the literature that uses the MUSIC algorithm jointly on theta and rho. We call this algorithm the JM algorithm. JM performs very slightly better than MM but at a substantial increase in complexity. Finally, we introduce the rotate-and-sum (RS) algorithm which has about the same performance as the MM and JM algorithms. Unlike MUSIC, RS does not employ eigenvalue and eigenvector analysis. Thus, it is more suitable for direct register transfer logic (RTL) implementation.

description: A Mobile Ad Hoc Network (MANET) comprises mobile nodes (MNs), equipped with wireless
communications devices; which form a temporary communication network without fixed
network infrastructure or topology.
The characteristics of MANET are: limited bandwidth; limited radio range; high mobility; and
vulnerability to attacks that degrade the signal to noise ratio and bit error rates. These
characteristics create challenges to MANET routing protocols. In addition, the mobility pattern
of the MNs also has major impact on the MANET routing protocols.
The issue of routing and maintaining packets between MNs in the mobile ad hoc networks
(MANETs) has always been a challenge; i.e. encountering broadcast storm under high node
density, geographically constrained broadcasting of a service discovery message and local
minimum problem under low node density. This requires an efficient design and development
of a lightweight routing algorithm which can be handled by those GPS equipped devices.
Most proposed location based routing protocols however, rely on a single route for each data
transmission. They also use a location based system to find the destination address of MNs
which over time, will not be accurate and may result in routing loop or routing failure.
Our proposed lightweight protocol, ‘Local Area Network Dynamic Routing’ (LANDY) uses a
localized routing technique which combines a unique locomotion prediction method and
velocity information of MNs to route packets. The protocol is capable of optimising routing
performance in advanced mobility scenarios, by reducing the control overhead and improving
the data packet delivery.
In addition, the approach of using locomotion prediction, has the advantage of fast and accurate
routing over other position based routing algorithms in mobile scenarios. Recovery with
LANDY is faster than other location protocols, which use mainly greedy algorithms, (such as
GPRS), no signalling or configuration of the intermediate nodes is required after a failure.
The key difference is that it allows sharing of locomotion and velocity information among the
nodes through locomotion table. The protocol is designed for applications in which we expect
that nodes will have access to a position service (e.g., future combat system). Simulation results
show that LANDY`s performance improves upon other position based routing protocols.

description: In the spring of 2016, a wildfire consumed the boreal forest that encircles the municipality of Fort McMurray, Alberta. Notwithstanding the severity of the blaze, known as “The Beast,” attention turned to the community because of its link to Canada’s largest industrial project – the Athabasca tar/oil sands in northern Alberta. A moment of controversy erupted in May 2016 when commentary pinned the cause of the wildfire on climate change, a charge that was quickly judged insensitive. With this context in mind, Fort McMurray holds scholarly value in the investigation of discourse related to today’s dominant form of energy – fossil fuels. Using a dataset of opinion discourse (N=40) sourced from four Canadian newspapers (The Globe and Mail, the National Post, the Calgary Herald, and the Edmonton Journal), this thesis presents a critical discourse analysis of how commentators and editorial boards articulated the relationship between the 2016 Fort McMurray wildfire and concerns about the tar/oil sands contribution to climate change. The opinion pages are free from the journalistic pressure of objectivity and thus offer a place for argumentative narratives to reside. As such, my analysis focuses on the use of storylines in the dataset to give meaning to the wildfire and the tar/oil sands industry. The analysis reveals that the storylines cast environmentalist groups as ideologically motivated radicals while the oil industry was positioned as Alberta’s economic champion, thereby fusing the petro-state with the common good.
Youthful Bookworms: Students' Experiences with Critical Literacies in the Context of the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test

description: This qualitative multi-method study investigates potential construct-related outcomes of using a high-stakes standardized literacy test that is based on a limited construct. This study presents comprehensive construct and outcomes analyses of the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test (OSSLT), as one example of a high-stakes literacy testing program, focusing on critical literacies in particular. Critical literacies are shown to be underrepresented in the test’s construct sample despite being valued in the relevant educational domain being measured. The two central research questions shaping this study are as follows: (1) What are students learning about critical literacies in an educational context that includes the OSSLT?; (2) How do students perceive the OSSLT to be contributing to, and/or hindering, their development of critical literacy skills? This study is structured as an arts-informed multiple case study. Participants included ten Grade 11 and 12 students who contributed to the study through multiple research activities, including interviews and group conversations, questionnaires, activity handouts, as well as journaling, photography, and graffiti walls activities. The findings of the outcomes analysis (1) identify limitations with regards to students’ understandings of literacy, including being unfamiliar with a concept of critical literacies; (2) demonstrate that students align their understandings of literacies with the reading and writing skills that are valued on the high-stakes literacy test while also wondering what else might count as literacy; and (3) suggest that the OSSLT is perceived by students to be influencing their literate identities, their relationships with literacies, and their learning trajectories. As an original contribution to knowledge, this study demonstrates how an in-depth analysis of a test’s literacy construct can be performed, and this study presents a qualitative multi-method methodology for conducting research into the outcomes of literacy education in an educational context that includes a high-stakes literacy test.
