Search for the Higgs boson in the gamma gamma final state at the Tevatron
Creators: name: Peters, Krisztian
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: We present searches for Higgs bosons decaying to the di-photon final state using up to 5.4/fb of data at a center-of-mass energy of 1.96 TeV at the Fermilab Tevatron collider. Whilst the branching ratio to the di-photon final state is small in the Standard Model, this channel contributes appreciably to the overall Higgs sensitivity at the Tevatron. In parallel, the limit is re-interpreted in fermiophobic models where the di-photon branching ratio is considerably larger. This decay channel will be of major importance in the light mass Standard Model Higgs search at the LHC.

Leptons, quarks, and their antiparticles from a phase-space perspective
Creators: name: Zenczykowski, Piotr

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is argued that antiparticles may be interpreted in macroscopic terms without explicitly using the concept of time and its reversal. The appropriate framework is that of nonrelativistic phase space. It is recalled that a quantum version of this approach leads also, alongside the appearance of antiparticles, to the emergence of `internal' quantum numbers identifiable with weak isospin, weak hypercharge and colour, and to the derivation of the Gell-Mann-Nishijima relation, while simultaneously offering a preonless interpretation of the Harari-Shupe rishon model. Furthermore, it is shown that - under the assumption of the additivity of canonical momenta - the approach entails the emergence of string-like structures resembling mesons and baryons, thus providing a different starting point for the discussion of quark unobservability.

description: The inelastic scattering of neutrons from magnetic excitations in the antiferromagnetic phase of the langasite compound Ba3NbFe3Si2O14 is analyzed theoretically. In the calculations presented, the strongly coupled spin-5/2 Fe triangles are accounted for as trimerized units. The weaker interactions between the trimers are included within the mean-field/random-phase approximation. The theory is compared with linear spin-wave theory, and a model is developed which leads to good agreement with the published results from unpolarized and polarized neutron-scattering experiments.

anti-viral therapy
basal epithelial homeostasis

description: Human Papillomaviruses have co-evolved with their human host, with each of the over 200 known HPV types infecting distinct epithelial niches to cause diverse disease pathologies. Despite the success of prophylactic vaccines in preventing high-risk HPV infection, the development of HPV anti-viral therapies has been hampered by the lack of enzymatic viral functions, and by difficulties in translating the results of in vitro experiments into clinically useful treatment regimes. In this review, we discuss recent advances in anti-HPV drug development, and highlight the importance of understanding persistent HPV infections for future anti-viral design. In the infected epithelial basal layer, HPV genomes are maintained at a very low copy number, with only limited viral gene expression; factors which allow them to hide from the host immune system. However, HPV gene expression confers an elevated proliferative potential, a delayed commitment to differentiation, and preferential persistence of the infected cell in the epithelial basal layer, when compared to their uninfected neighbours. To a large extent, this is driven by the viral E6 protein, which functions in the HPV life cycle as a modulator of epithelial homeostasis. By targeting HPV gene products involved in the maintenance of the viral reservoir, there appears to be new opportunities for the control or elimination of chronic HPV infections.

description: What stands out in the articles in this issue, for us, is the depth of thinking.  Thinking is sorely needed at a time when neo-liberalist agendas push the art therapy profession further and further into a realm which favours simplistic methods and narrow goals, where the subversive, anarchic aspects of art, and the freedom involved in bringing ‘whatever’ into open-ended therapeutic relationships, is seen as a luxury of the past, even perhaps, as transgressive.

There is a split between theory and practice involved here and we need to start thinking of theory making itself as a practice and to recognise that all that we say and do is inseparable from it, and is political. This understanding is behind the papers published in this issue.

description: Transport of spherical Brownian particles of finite size possessing radii through narrow channels with varying cross-section area is considered. Applying the so-called Fick-Jacobs approximation, i.e. assuming fast equilibration in orthogonal direction of the channel axis, the 2D problem can be described by a 1D effective dynamics in which bottlenecks cause entropic barriers. Geometrical confinements result in entropic barriers which the particles have to overcome in order to proceed in transport direction. The analytic findings for the nonlinear mobility for the transport are compared with precise numerical simulation results. The dependence of the nonlinear mobility on the particle size exhibits a striking resonance-like behavior as a function of the relative particle size; this latter feature renders possible new effective particle separation scenarios.

Tourists' visual perceptions of forests and forest management in Vancouver Island and Tasmania
Creators: name: Hilsendager, Kyle W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: In the past, forested areas have been used primarily for timber production. However, the recent growth of nature-based tourism has given monetary value to the recreation and scenic characteristics associated the forests in many places. This can lead to conflicts between forestry and tourism raising questions relating to the management of these two industries. What impact does forestry have on the perception of tourists in region’s that promote natural landscapes? Are certain tourist segments affected differently by the impacts of forestry in regions that market natural landscapes? How can forests be managed to ensure that tourism values are not compromised by other forest interests? To gain a better perspective of tourism and forestry related conflicts this investigation utilized a comparative case study method. The case study locations selected include Vancouver Island, Canada and Tasmania, Australia. At each destination visitors were surveyed at three types of attractions to understand differences in forestry perceptions between user groups. Forestry and tourism professionals from both regions were also interviewed. Vancouver Island and Tasmania were chosen because of the important role that both forestry and nature-based tourism play in shaping the economies of both places. Despite these similarities, differences exist in the way these two industries are managed. These differences were important for providing insight into management strategies that could be used to address these conflicts. Results suggest that forestry impacts have the potential to negatively impact upon visitor perceptions. However, this seems partly dependent upon the type of impact observed, as differences were noted between harvested areas, tree plantations, logging trucks and saw/pulp mills. Results from the different sample groups were compared to learn whether or not differences exist in the way that tourist user groups are affected by exposure to forestry impacts. Findings provided a limited amount of evidence to support this. Through the analysis of the semi-structured interviews a set of recommendations were developed to help assist forestry and tourism managers who may be dealing with similar land use conflicts. These recommendations would be useful for land managers in other jurisdictions where similar conflicts between forestry and tourism exist.
Chardin's Lesson

description: In this essay I show how looking at two paintings by Jean-Simeon Chardin (1699-1779) in the National Gallery encouraged me to revisit the experience of providing art therapy for people with learning difficulties. In reflecting on my experiences, both of the paintings and of providing art therapy, I began to develop my thinking in relation to emotion and self-expression.  My reading of art therapy literature, philosophy (Hegel 1977 and Butler 1987 & 1997), semiotics (Jakobson 1960) and neuroscience (Damasio 1999), then gave me the confidence to make a definitive statement in relation to ‘self-expression’.  In presenting my arguments to readers I hope I will have encouraged art therapists to give attention to the cultural and social situation which facilitates the use of art materials to provide transformative experiences and support the development of relationship and self-awareness.

description: This article looks at a series of nine video films the author made over a six-year period. The context in which they were produced is explained but while the context is important the author sees the films primarily as a coherent body of work within his art practice. Consideration is given to how the art practice of this art therapist might be framed. The aim of the article is to think about the ways in which meaning is made in the films. I make use of a critical visual methodology (Rose, 2001) and draw upon film theory to consider the impact of unconscious processes in the construction of meaning.

Can Exhibiting Art Works from Therapy be Considered a Therapeutic Process?
Creators: name: Martyn, Jon
Publisher: name: Art Therapy Online
Year: 2019

description: This article considers issues relating to the exhibiting of art work that has been made within art therapy. It looks at the marginalisation of exhibiting in the development of the profession in Britain and its wider use outside of the UK. It reviews the arguments which support it whilst considering contentious issues, such as patient permission and the exchange of money, within the context of neo-liberalism and austerity. Drawing from experiences of facilitating a therapeutic art studio for refugees and asylum seekers, the paper goes on to propose an approach which takes into account the criticisms made of exhibiting patient art work and utilises a psychodynamic approach to the exhibition as a therapeutic process.

Keywords: asylum seekers, refugees, exhibitions, social art therapy, neo-liberalism, austerity.

description: Massive stars play an important role in shaping the structure of galaxies. Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs), with their low temperatures and high densities, have been identified as the potential birthplaces of massive stars. In order to understand the formation processes of massive stars the physical and chemical conditions in infrared dark clouds have to be characterized. The goal of this paper is to investigate the chemical composition of a sample of southern infrared dark clouds. One important aspect of the observations is to check, if the molecular abuncances in IRDCs are similar to the low-mass pre-stellar cores, or whether they show signatures of more evolved evolutionary stages. We performed observations toward 15 IRDCs in the frequency range between 86 and 93 GHz using the 22-m Mopra radio telescope. We detect HNC, HCO$^+$ and HNC emission in all clouds and N$_2$H$^+$ in all IRDCs except one. In some clouds we detect SiO emission. Complicated shapes of the HCO$^+$ emission line profile are found in all IRDCs. Both signatures indicates the presence of infall and outflow motions and beginning of star formation activity, at least in some parts of the IRDCs. Where possible, we calculate molecular abundances and make a comparison with previously obtained values for low-mass pre-stellar cores and high-mass protostellar objects (HMPOs). We show a tendency for IRDCs to have molecular abundances similar to low-mass pre-stellar cores rather than to HMPOs abundances on the scale of our single-dish observations.

Numerical method for solving the Boltzmann equation using cubic B-splines
Creators: name: Khurana, Saheba
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: A numerical method for solving a one-dimensional linear Boltzmann equation is developed using cubic B-splines. Collision kernels are derived for smooth and rough hard spheres. A complete velocity kernel for spherical particles is shown that is reduced to the smooth, rigid sphere case. Similarly, a collision kernel for the rough hard sphere is derived that depends upon velocity and angular velocity. The exact expression for the rough sphere collision kernel is reduced to an approximate expression that averages over the rotational degrees of freedom in the system. The rough sphere collision kernel tends to the smooth sphere collision kernel in the limit when translational-rotational energy exchange is attenuated. Comparisons between the smooth sphere and approximate rough sphere kernel are made. Four different representations for the distribution function are presented. The eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the collision matrix are obtained for various mass ratios and compared with known values. The distribution functions, first and second moments are also evaluated for different mass and temperature ratios. This is done to validate the numerical method and it is shown that this method is accurate and well-behaved. In addition to smooth and rough hard spheres, the collision kernels are used to model the Maxwell molecule. Here, a variety of mass ratios and initial energies are used to test the capability of the numerical method. Massive tracers are set to high initial energies, representing kinetic energy loss experiments with biomolecules in experimental mass spectrometry. The validity of the Fokker-Planck expression for the Rayleigh gas is also tested. Drag coefficients are calculated and compared to analytic expressions. It is shown that these values are well predicted for massive tracers but show a more complex behaviour for small mass ratios especially at higher energies. The numerical method produced well converged values, even when the tracers were initialized far from equilibrium. In general this numerical method produces sparse matrices and can be easily generalized to higher dimensions that can be cast into efficient parallel algorithms. Future work has been planned that involves the use of this numerical method for a multi-dimension linear Boltzmann equation.

Mutually unbiased bases in dimension six: The four most distant bases

description: We consider the average distance between four bases in dimension six. The distance between two orthonormal bases vanishes when the bases are the same, and the distance reaches its maximal value of unity when the bases are unbiased. We perform a numerical search for the maximum average distance and find it to be strictly smaller than unity. This is strong evidence that no four mutually unbiased bases exist in dimension six. We also provide a two-parameter family of three bases which, together with the canonical basis, reach the numerically-found maximum of the average distance, and we conduct a detailed study of the structure of the extremal set of bases.

description: "Hopscotch" is a world-wide game for children to play since the times in the ancient Roman Empire and China. Here we present a study mainly focused on the research and discussion of the application on the children's well-know edutainment via the physical interactive design to provide the sensing of the times for the conventional hopscotch, which is a new type of experiment for the technology aided edutainment. The innovated hopscotch music game involves the sound samples of various animals and the characters of cartoon, and the algorithmic composition via the development of the music technology based interactive game, to gradually make the children perceive the world of digits, sound, and music. It can guide the growing children's personality and character from disorder into clarity. Furthermore, the traditional teaching materials can be improved via the implementation of the electrical sensing devices, electrical I/O module, and the computer music program Max/MSP, to integrate the interactive computer music with the interactive and immersive soundscapes composition, and the teaching tool with educational gaming is completely accomplished eventually.

description: The spectral function related to the correlator of two colour-electric fields along a Polyakov loop determines the momentum diffusion coefficient of a heavy quark near rest with respect to a heat bath. We compute this spectral function at next-to-leading order, O(alpha_s^2), in the weak-coupling expansion. The high-frequency part of our result (omega >> T), which is shown to be temperature-independent, is accurately determined thanks to asymptotic freedom; the low-frequency part of our result (omega << T), in which Hard Thermal Loop resummation is needed in order to cure infrared divergences, agrees with a previously determined expression. Our result may help to calibrate the overall normalization of a lattice-extracted spectral function in a perturbative frequency domain T << omega << 1/a, paving the way for a non-perturbative estimate of the momentum diffusion coefficient at omega -> 0. We also evaluate the colour-electric Euclidean correlator, which could be directly compared with lattice simulations. As an aside we determine the Euclidean correlator in the lattice strong-coupling expansion, showing that through a limiting procedure it can in principle be defined also in the confined phase of pure Yang-Mills theory, even if a practical measurement could be very noisy there.

description: A molecule consisting of two particles interacting with a delta-function attraction, and confined to a one-dimensional volume, is studied. From the exact solution of the system we deduce that the center-of-mass effectively moves in a volume reduced by an inaccessible dead layer near each wall. For a very large volume the dead-layer width equals the size of the molecule, defined as the expectation value of the interparticle distance for the unconfined molecule. For finite volumes the dead-layer width is smaller than this. For unequal particle masses, perturbation in the mass difference up to third order yields the same result, and we conjecture that for this system the dead-layer width is independent of the mass values.

Cytoskeletal control of B cell receptor dynamics and signaling
Creators: name: Freeman, Spencer Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The nucleation, polymerization, and depolymerization of actin filaments is spatially and temporally controlled in order to regulate cell motility, cell morphology, and protein organization within the plasma membrane. By limiting receptor diffusion, the submembrane actin cytoskeleton modulates the signaling output of receptors such as the B-cell antigen (Ag) receptor (BCR) that are activated by clustering. Restricting BCR mobility limits BCR-BCR collisions and the resultant ‘tonic’ signaling. Conversely, more dynamic actin filaments or F-actin clearance promotes BCR-BCR collisions and leads to a ‘primed’ state where the threshold for Ag-induced activation is reduced. In chapter 2, I show a mechanism of receptor cross-talk where microbial danger signals (TLR ligands) prime B cells for Ag-induced activation by enhancing actin dynamics. TLR signaling reduced BCR confinement, promoted BCR-BCR collisions and potentiated responses to low densities of membrane-associated Ags. The interaction of B-cells with antigen-presenting cells displaying membrane-Ags results in initial BCR signaling that promotes cell spreading and increases the probability of BCRs encountering Ag. This is coupled with increased BCR mobility and the formation of BCR microclusters that recruit and activate signaling enzymes. Cell spreading and BCR microcluster mobility require severing of cortical submembrane actin, a precursor to F-actin branching that drives cell spreading. In chapter 3, I show that BCR signaling increases actin dynamics and BCR microcluster formation by activating the actin-severing protein cofilin via a signaling pathway involving Rap GTPases.

description: Real Industry Projects and team work can have a great impact on student learning but providing these activities requires significant commitment from academics. It requires several years planning implementing to create a collaborative learning environment that mimics the real world ICT (Information and Communication Technology) industry workplace. In this project, staff from all the three faculties, namely the Faculty of Health, Engineering and Science, Faculty of Arts, Education and Human Development, and Faculty of Business and Law in higher education work together to establish a detailed project management plan and to develop the unit guidelines for participating students. The proposed project brings together students from business, multimedia and computer science degrees studying their three project-based units within each faculty to work on a relatively large IT project with our industry partner, Melbourne Zoo. This paper presents one multimedia software project accomplished by one of the multi-discipline student project teams. The project was called 'Interactive ZooOz Guide' and developed on a GPS-enabled PDA device in 2007. The developed program allows its users to navigate through the Zoo via an interactive map and provides multimedia information of animals on hotspots at the 'Big Cats' section of the Zoo so that it enriches user experience at the Zoo. A recent development in zoo applications is also reviewed. This paper is also intended to encourage academia to break boundaries to enhance students' learning beyond classroom.

We investigate the effects of interface dynamics on the reflection of incident waves and on the formation of primary and secondary reflected waves. Experimental tests are performed to correlate the linear medium geometry, materials, and mass with the formation and propagation of the reflected waves. We compare the experimental results with theoretical analysis based on the long-wavelength approximation and with numerical predictions obtained from discrete particle models. Studying variations of the reflected wave's velocity and amplitude, we describe how the propagation of primary and secondary reflected waves responds sensitively to the states of the adjacent linear media. Experimental results are found to be in agreement with the theoretical analysis and numerical simulation. This preliminary study establishes the foundation for utilizing reflected solitary waves as novel information carriers in nondestructive evaluation of elastic material systems.

description: In this paper we evaluate the renormalization constants and anomalous dimensions for the squark wave function and mass within supersymmetric QCD. These results complement the ones obtained in Ref. \cite{Harlander:2009mn} and thus provide further confirmation on the applicability of dimensional reduction to supersymmetric QCD at three-loop order. The three-loop anomalous dimension constitute important input to precision predictions of the supersymmetric mass spectrum as obtained from the evolution from the GUT to the TeV energy scale.

description: A pre-synaptic neuron releases diffusing neurotransmitters such as glutamate that activate post-synaptic receptors. The amplitude of the post-synaptic current, mostly mediated by glutamatergic (AMPARs) receptors, is a fundamental signal that may generate an action potential. However, although various simulation results \cite{kullman,Barbour,Raghavachari} have addressed how synapses control the post-synaptic current, it is still unclear how this current depends analytically on factors such as the synaptic cleft geometry, the distribution, the number and the multi-conductance state of receptors, the geometry of post-synaptic density (PSD) and the neurotransmitter release location. To estimate the synaptic current maximal amplitude, we present a semi-analytical model of glutamate diffusing in the synaptic cleft. We modeled receptors as multi-conductance channels and we find that PSD morphological changes can significantly modulate the synaptic current, which is maximally reliable (the coefficient of variation is minimal) for an optimal size of the PSD, that depends on the vesicular release active zone. The existence of an optimal PSD size is related to nonlinear phenomena such as the multi-binding cooperativity of the neurotransmitter to the receptors. We conclude that changes in the PSD geometry can sustain a form of synaptic plasticity, independent of a change in the number of receptors.

description: The two datasets are supplement to the publication Manz, Pia; Fleiter, Tobias; Eichhammer, Wolfang: "The effect of low-carbon processes on industrial excess heat potentials for district heating in the EU: a GIS-based analysis" (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.segy.2023.100103). Excess heat from industrial processes can be utilized in district heating networks, thereby reducing the primary energy demand and possibly CO2 emissions for district heating generation. Many studies found a substantial potential of industrial excess heat; however, they did not systematically consider the potential future changes in the energy system that will affect the potential excess heat utilization. Industrial production will transform to low-carbon processes and district heating needs to be generated without fossil fuels. Here, we quantify industrial excess heat by spatial matching for the EU-27, considering the impact of the transformation to a climate-neutral energy system. In a first step, excess heat potentials from energy-intensive industries are identified as point sources, taking into account process changes. In a subsequent step, the excess heat potentials are spatially matched to district heating areas with a GIS-based approach. The results show, that available excess heat will reduce significantly due to industry transformation. At the same time, the utilization potential could be increased by lower district heating system temperatures and by an expansion of district heating areas, resulting in 3 - 36 TWh/a. Locally, there is a significant contribution of industrial excess heat in the future, even though the major share will need to be supplied by renewables.
The Bulgarian Horrors : culture and the international history of the Great Eastern Crisis, 1876-1878
Creators: name: Whitehead, Cameron Ean Alfred
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: In the wake of alleged Ottoman atrocities in Bulgaria, the new geopolitical order created at the 1878 Congress of Berlin was demarcated largely along Western cultural prejudices. Using a cultural approach that appreciates both “macro” material structures and “micro” cultural processes in Bulgaria, Britain, and the Ottoman Empire, this study offers an alternative framework for understanding this period. It employs community-level evidence (petitions, public meetings, provincial journalism) alongside the diplomatic record; moreover, it uses the diaries, writings, and the marginalia within the personal readings of important policy-makers as pivotal intermediaries between cultural discourses, material structures, and individual agency. Diverging from previous narratives, which hold that the Great Powers altruistically responded to barbaric atrocities perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire against their European Christian subjects, I argue that solidifying conceptions of racially-based national self-determination and nonconformist evangelicalism were crucial within humanitarian protest, the diplomatic decision-making process, military objectives during the Russo-Turkish War, and the resolution of the Great Eastern Crisis. Western cultural preconceptions, propagated, negotiated, and reified throughout this process, were thus transformative in the construction of the new, unstable Balkan geopolitical order that contributed to the outbreak of the First World War and the remaking of the modern world.

description: The weak antilocalization effect of InSb film in perpendicular as well as tilted magnetic field is investigated. It is found that the InSb film has quasi-two-dimensional feature and the Nyquist mechanism dominates decoherence. The two dimensionality is also verified further and the influence of roughness effect and Zeeman effect on weak antilocalization effect is studied by systematically investigating the anisotropy of weak field magnetoresistance with respect to magnetic field. It is also found that the existence of in-plane field can effectively suppress the weak antilocalization effect of InSb film and the roughness effect plays an important role in the anisotropy.

Processing Emotions and Memorising Coursework through Memory Drawing
Creators: name: Ottarsdottir, Unnur
Publisher: name: Art Therapy Online
Year: 2018

description: Memory of drawings and words were compared for 134 subjects in a quantitative research. Nine weeks after the initial encoding the median amount of recalled drawings was five times higher, than for written words. There was no difference between memorised drawings and words when recalling took place right after encoding. Qualitative case studies were also conducted which demonstrated the way in which memory drawing can facilitate coursework learning. The memory drawing and the therapeutic process indicated that sensitive emotional material can be brought up and processed through such drawings. Art therapy theories and methods were found to be important in terms of memory drawing in order to explore, understand and explain the function of memory drawing for processing emotions and facilitating memory of coursework. An art therapy framework was also found to be important for considering the ethics and drawing boundaries for the memory drawing method in order to create safe spaces for students and clients who engage in creating memory drawings within therapy or education.

Keywords: Memory, drawing, art educational therapy (AET), trauma, coursework learning.

description: In this study, we propose a recursive approach to study the transport properties of atomic wires. It is based upon a real-space block-recursion technique with Landauer's formula being used to express the conductance as a scattering problem. To illustrate the method, we have applied it on a model system described by a single band tight-binding Hamiltonian. Results of our calculation therefore may be compared with the reported results on Na-atom wire. Upon tuning the tight-binding parameters, we can distinctly identify the controlling parameters responsible to decide the width as well as the phase of odd-even oscillations in the conductance.

description: The focus is on noise-free half-duplex line networks with two sources where the first node and either the second node or the second-last node in the cascade act as sources. In both cases, we establish the capacity region of rates at which both sources can transmit independent information to a common sink. The achievability scheme presented for the first case is constructive while the achievability scheme for the second case is based on a random coding argument.

description: We investigate whether and how different fragmentation properties of quarks and gluons affect identified particle spectra. We present a systematic study of $π$, $K$ and $p$ production in minimum bias (inelastic, non-diffractive), two- and three-jet events at RHIC, Tevatron and LHC energies. Through the study of two- and three-jet events and various jet-production channels we can directly access the fragmentation properties of quark and gluon jets. We present MC estimate for the contribution of quark and gluon jets to individual particle species spectra, that can be compared to experimental results and test our current knowledge of the physics behind particle production inside jets.

Responsive Art Psychotherapy as a component of intervention for severe adolescent mental illness: a case study
Creators: name: Nielsen, Fran
Publisher: name: Art Therapy Online
Year: 2018

description: In this paper the author aims to describe the development of Responsive Art Psychotherapy, an innovative multidirectional psychodynamic art therapy intervention. This was developed in the context of working alongside non-art therapists within a multi disciplinary team. Using clinical material from a detailed case study, the paper explores how the use of language can be bypassed through the contact made in and with the images. This is supported by recent research into neurobiological theory of trauma and patients’ incapacity to verbalise in the context of severe mental illness and distress.

Senses of memory in dementia care: the transcendent subject
Creators: name: Connellan, Kathleen
Publisher: name: Art Therapy Online
Year: 2018

description: Sensory stimuli are a whole body, mind, time, and space experience.  During the arts therapy encounter memories are recalled through sensory stimulation and scent, sound, texture and taste amongst people with dementia, which can encourage transcendence from the temporal realities of loss. Gerotranscendence (Stephenson 2013) occurs when arts and the unconscious combine.  This article reflects upon sensory arts therapy processes and outcomes in an aged care home, with one case study as a focus. Theories of memory, sensory perception and technologies of care, throw light upon the transcendent subject.  I take Foucault’s views on the contingent subject further to extend the idea of the transcendent subject as one whose preconscious is more prevalent and active than the conscious (Foucault 2003). This transcendence is not ‘madness’ but rather a kind of freedom that is often outside of the immediate politics of institutional care and one in which arts therapy has noticeable agency.

Keywords: Arts therapy; aged care; body; memory; senses; transcendence.
