Illusions for life: on the importance of illusions for our life and the role of cinema in creating these illusions
Creators: name: Magerstädt, Sylvie
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2011

description: The relationship between art, illusion and reality has been part of philosophical debate for centuries. With the increasing use of digital technologies in modern cinema, this debate entered a new dimension. This thesis aims to discuss the notion of illusions as a system of stories and values that inspire a culture similar to other grand narratives, such as mythology or religion. Cinema thus becomes the postmodern 'mythmaking machine‘ par excellence in a world that has increasing difficulties in creating unifying concepts and positive illusions that can inspire a culture and give hope. I will argue that illusions have always been a crucial element of culture, and my hypothesis is that they are not necessarily a sign of people‘s naivety or unconscious manipulationas has often been argued but a conscious choice, deriving from a longing for positive inspiration. This longing is particularly strong in times of ideological crisis, when other institutions fail to provide relief and guidance. This seems to be emphasised by the fact that in the last decade, at a time of deep ideological crisis, mainstream cinema has seen a significant revival of grand mythic epics. The thesis focuses on three key aspects: the area of belief, illusion and the creation of myths; the relationship between realism and illusion; and the possibilities of modern cinema in relation to these aspects. I chose to base my research project on continental philosophy rather than classic film theory or analytic philosophy in order to stimulate a new debate in film studies and philosophy that links traditional aesthetic concepts with contemporary thoughts on society and cinema. To begin with I draw on theories by Nietzsche, Kracauer and Deleuzeto unravel the interesting similarities in their works, such as the redemptive capacities of art and the acknowledgement that illusion/art/cinema is always closely related to the state of the society that produces them. This is then applied to recent Hollywood epics, namely The Lord of the Rings (P. Jackson, 2001-04), Troy(W. Petersen, 2004) and Avatar (J. Cameron, 2009). Here I argue that rather than being mere escapism, mainstream cinemacan have an important function in providing postmodern culture with important illusions, which is significantly facilitated by new digital technologies.The thesis concludes that these technologies present new creative opportunities for filmmakers and philosophers alike.
A Late Stuart Leicestershire Parson

description: The Humphrey Michel was not a meek man, and I make no claims that he was a typical late Stuart parson; indeed, there are valid reasons for thinking (and hoping) that he was not. But his career does reflect some of the problems his clerical contemporaries confronted, and his story is in and of itself an interesting one. Part of what we know about him comes from the few pages of his diary published in 1859, the rest from the same sorts of ecclesiastical documents that mention other parsons so tersely. In Michel's case the documents are much more informative, for when Humphrey Michel filed a return, he usually told far more than he was asked to.
Cruck-Framed Buildings of Leicestershire

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 30, 26-58
description: The crock method of building, embodying as it does an early form of fundamental timber framing, has been described in many works devoted to building construction. In the past, however, the bulk of literature published on buildings has tended to concentrate on already well-known examples of large country houses, castles and other notable monuments. Only in more recent years have the humble dwelling house and the barn been considered of sufficient importance to warrant monographs devoted entirely to them. Two notable works may, however, be mentioned, both of which deal exhaustively with the features of construction of the smaller buildings. These are C. F. Innocent's Development of English Building Construction (1916) and S. 0. Addy's The Evolution of the English House (1898). More recently Messrs. Batsford and Fry have written The English Cottage (1938), to which should be added Dr. I. 0. Peate's book The Welsh House (1944). In the last decade or so, one or two notable contributions have been made to this literature in the form of more specialised articles of a local character by James.Walton entitled "Crock Framed Buildings in Yorkshire".' Most recently Lord Raglan and Sir Cyril Fox have brought out, under the auspices of the National Museum of Wales, their detailed survey, The Monrrwuthshire House, Part I (1951).

description: With the increasing popularity of machine learning techniques, it has become common to see prediction algorithms operating within some larger process. However, the criteria by which we train these algorithms often differ from the ultimate criteria on which we evaluate them. This paper proposes an end-to-end approach for learning probabilistic machine learning models in a manner that directly captures the ultimate task-based objective for which they will be used, within the context of stochastic programming. We present three experimental evaluations of the proposed approach: a classical inventory stock problem, a real-world electrical grid scheduling task, and a real-world energy storage arbitrage task. We show that the proposed approach can outperform both traditional modeling and purely black-box policy optimization approaches in these applications.

description: Melanins are complex pigments with various biological functions and potential applications in space exploration and biomedicine due to their radioprotective properties. Aspergillus niger, a fungus known for its high radiation resistance, is widely used in biotechnology and a candidate for melanin production. In this study, we investigated the production of fungal pyomelanin (PyoFun) in A. niger by inducing overproduction of the pigment using L-tyrosine in a recombinant ΔhmgA mutant strain (OS4.3). The PyoFun pigment was characterized using three spectroscopic methods, and its antioxidant properties were assessed using a DPPH-assay. Additionally, we evaluated the protective effect of PyoFun against non-ionizing radiation (monochromatic UV-C) and compared its efficacy to a synthetically produced control pyomelanin (PyoSyn). The results confirmed successful production of PyoFun in A. niger through inducible overproduction. Characterization using spectroscopic methods confirmed the presence of PyoFun, and the DPPH-assay demonstrated its strong antioxidant properties. Moreover, PyoFun exhibited a highly protective effect against radiation-induced stress, surpassing the protection provided by PyoSyn. The findings of this study suggest that PyoFun has significant potential as a biological shield against harmful radiation. Notably, PyoFun is synthesized extracellularly, differing it from other fungal melanins (such as L-DOPA- or DHN-melanin) that require cell lysis for pigment purification. This characteristic makes PyoFun a valuable resource for biotechnology, biomedicine, and the space industry. However, further research is needed to evaluate its protective effect in a dried form and against ionizing radiation.

description: BACKGROUND: HIV and hepatitis B virus (HBV) prevalence are both high in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. HIV coinfection negatively affects HBV prognosis and can increase the likelihood of HBV mother-to-child transmission (MTCT). In an early HIV infant treatment intervention cohort of HIV-transmitting mother-child pairs in KwaZulu-Natal, we characterized maternal HBV prevalence and screened infants at risk. METHODS: Infants were treated for HIV MTCT at birth, and combination regimens incidentally active against HBV were initiated within 21 days. Maternal samples (N = 175) were screened at birth for HBV infection (HBV surface antigen [HBsAg]), exposure to HBV (HBV anti-core IgG), and vaccination responses (HBV anti-S positive without other HBV markers). Infants of mothers who were HBV positive were screened for HBsAg at 1 and 12 months. RESULTS: Evidence of HBV infection was present in 8.6% (n = 15) of maternal samples. Biomarkers for HBV exposure were present in 31.4% (n = 55). Evidence of HBV vaccination was uncommon in mothers (8.0%; n = 14). Despite prescription of antiretroviral therapy (ART) active against HBV, HBV DNA was detectable in 46.7% (7/15) of mothers who were HBsAg positive. Three mothers had HBV viral loads >5.3 log10 IU/mL, making them high risk for HBV MTCT. Screening of available infant samples at 1 month (n = 14) revealed no cases of HBV MTCT. At 12 months, we identified 1 HBV infection (1/13), and serologic evidence of vaccination was present in 53.8% (7/13) of infants. DISCUSSION: This vulnerable cohort of HIV-transmitting mothers had a high prevalence of undiagnosed HBV. Early infant ART may have reduced the risk of MTCT in high-risk cases. Current HBV guidelines recommend ART prophylaxis, but these data underline the pressing need to increase availability of birth dose vaccines.

description: Thermoelectric materials can achieve a conversion effect between heat energy and electricity. The conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials is determined by the dimensionless figure of merit (zT), zT= S2σT/κtot, where S, σ, S2σ, and κtot represent the Seebeck coefficient, electrical conductivity, power factor, and total thermal conductivity, respectively. The pristine GeTe has a high σ due to the high carrier concentration (np) induced by intrinsic Ge vacancies. This high np also led to a low S which obtained a relatively low S2σ. Thus, combined with a relatively high κtot, a peak zT value of ~1 was obtained in GeTe. Rare earth elements doping can affect the transport properties of GeTe thermoelectric materials with below advantages, including aliovalent elements doping to reduce np, the localized magnetic moments due to the unfilled 4f-electrons, the large mass fluctuation, and strain-field fluctuation effect on point defect scattering. All these features motivate us to investigate the rare earth elements doped GeTe system for the purpose of reducing the κlat, exploring the effect of doping with local magnetic moment elements on the thermoelectric properties of GeTe. This project is conducted in the following parts: The thermoelectric performance of GeTe-based thermoelectric materials can be significantly enhanced by substituting REs (Eu, Gd, Er, and Tm) at the Ge site of GeTe. The zTave are increased from 0.38 of pristine GeTe to ~ 0.60 of Ge0.98RE0.02Te at the entire temperature range. Lu was found to have a relatively small radius and electronegativity difference with Ge compared with other rare earth elements, which can induce a high doping level in GeTe. A peak zT of 1.75 at 673 K and an average zT of 0.92 within the temperature range of 303-723 K are obtained in Ge0.9Lu0.02Sb0.08Te. Rare earth Nd doping in the TAGS-85 (GeTe85(AgSbTe2)15) system obtained the highest zT values of 1.65 at 727 K. Overall, several breakthroughs in GeTe thermoelectrics have been made and documented in journal papers. The challenges of high-performance n-type GeTe and the practical application of GeTe thermoelectric devices still need to be further investigated.

description: It has become almost a commonplace observation that Civil wars can turn brother against brother and offspring against parent. Certainly the period of the English Civil Wars provides many such examples of internal family dissensions and conflict between the adherents of the causes of King and of Parliament. This article seeks, however, to investigate and to illustrate the differences to be found between two members of a family who were ostensibly on the same side. Both Henry Grey, first Earl of Stamford and his son, Thomas, Lord Grey of Groby are described by Chroniclers and Commentators as 'Parliamentarians' and 'Puritans' but an analysis of their respective positions and careers in both war and peace obliges a more careful examination of these blanket terms. By examining these two individuals in some depth it is hoped that our understanding of the people and the events which constituted the Great Rebellion and its aftermath, and their impact both nationality and locally, will be added to.

description: Mention the name of Thomas Cooper to a nineteenth century historian and he or she will invariably identify him as 'the Chartist'. Though Cooper was an autodidact par excellence, a poet and a novelist and, for over twenty years, an itinerant preacher, he is remembered, first and foremost, as 'General' of the Leicester Chartists. In truth this is hardly surprising. No less than one quarter of Cooper's widely read autobiography, published in 1872, is devoted to an account of the two and a half years which preceded his imprisonment. These years were undeniably the most important of Cooper's life. In 1840 he was a radical local journalist. Three years later he was a state prisoner. Leicester became a Chartist stronghold in the early 1840s, and membership of the N.C.A. eclipsed other centres of support. Cooper became the fiery champion of the Chartists. Charismatic, energetic and confident, he inspired the loyalty of thousands of working men and women. In the market place on a Sunday evening he came to symbolize their defiance, and their hopes for the future.

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 64, 62-72
description: For most historians of Chartism the radical career of Thomas Cooper, for two and a half remarkable years the fervent champion of the Leicester Chartists, comes to an effective end with his imprisonment for seditious conspiracy in May 1843, or, if not then, with his expulsion from the Chartist conference at Leeds fifteen months after his release. Beyond these points little interest has been shown in his radical activities. The reasons for this are not difficult to ascertain. Cooper's autobiography gives only brief details about his continued radical career in the decade after his release from prison in May 1845.' We learn very little, for example, about his adherence to the ideas of non-resistance, and nothing at all about his interest for a time in what the French socialists were saying or his championing of such causes as the resettlement of the unemployed on the wastelands. Moreover, it is clear that in London, where he lived in the decade or so after his release, Cooper failed to establish for himself anything like a sizeable following amongst the Chartists.

description: The periodic struggles of the community of the realm to limit the king's prerogative to choose his own ministers are among the commonplaces of English constitutional history. As Professor Tout pointed out parallels can be found in local administration in later medieval England, where statutes of the period restricted the Crown's choice of agents to local residents, established property qualifications for office, limited the term and frequency of tenure and abridged the king's prerogative powers over the personnel of local administration in other ways. If we may trust the impression of the parliamentary pleas, the purpose of these restrictions was to ensure that men appointed or elected to local offices would have interests in the communities they served. If they had immovable property in the counties, for example, they could be held accountable by common law actions for any malfeasance in office. They would be presumably less prone to extortion in their communities, among neighbours, than against strangers.

description: During the nineteenth century and especially after an Act of 1853 made it compulsory for all infants over four months old in England and Wales to be vaccinated, opposition to the practice of vaccination increased steadily. A further tightening up of compulsory measures was made after the smallpox epidemic of 1871, as a result of which a Select Committee was appointed by the government. The report of this committee confirmed the principle of compulsion amongst other recommendations, and these were embodied in new legislation by an Act of 1871, which made the law so stringent that, between 1871-76, only four of the local Boards of Guardians proved obdurate. Leicester is taken in this article as an example of a town where the opposition to vaccination was particularly marked and where, due to the agitation caused, the various anti-vaccination forces had their greatest success in bringing about a change in the 1871 Act.

(1851); "The poverty of this place exceeds anything I have ever met with in any part of the Kingdom. (1845); Eye hath notseen ear hath not heard, the heart cannot conceive the half of the suffering endured by this poverty stricken people. (1843); The spiritual destitution is excessive - the poverty overwhelming. Out of a population of 7 ,OOO only 300 ratepayers. Poor rate higher than any other parish in England. Tradestocking making. (1851). These four statements record contemporary views of Hinckley, Leicestershire in the mid-nineteenth century. Distress, poverty, suffering, destitution, from the end of the Napoleonic wars right up until the 1870s such words describe the quality of life enjoyed by substantial numbers of the towns population. Concealed within the simple statement Trade-stocking making is the reason why.

description: When it was still a country custom to celebrate the First of May, all the village children knew the old May-day songs, handed down by word of mouth from one generation to another. Today few people remember them; in many villages they have not been sung for half-a-century or longer. The Leicestershire and Rutland Federation of Women's Institutes, alive to the danger that these songs might pass into oblivion, appealed in April 1962 to its members to write down the words of their local May-day songs and send them to the Federation Office. Approaches were made to the older people in the community likely to remember old customs, with encouraging results. Sixty songs were received from thirty villages. Some are repetitions, as one might expect, but on the whole there is an astonishing variety. Inevitably many belong to the nineteenth century when May-day festivities were revived through local schools, and a newer type of song tended to be introduced. There remains a nucleus of songs of an older tradition, handed down from long ago.

description: Hypothesis: To challenge the classical concept of step-like micellization of ionic surfactants with singular critical micelle concentration, novel amphiphilic compounds with bulky dianionic head and the alkoxy tail connected via short linker, which can complex sodium cations, were synthesized in the form of disodium salts. Experiment: The surfactants were synthesized by opening of a dioxanate ring attached to closo-dodecaborate by activated alcohol, which allows for attachment of alkyloxy tails of desired length to boron cluster dianion. The synthesis of the compounds with high cationic purity (sodium salt) is described. Self-assembly of the surfactant compound at air/water interface and in bulk water was studied by tensiometry, light and small angle X-ray scattering, electron microscopy, NMR spectroscopy, MD simulations and by isothermal titration calorimetry, ITC. The peculiarities in the micelle structure and formation were revealed by thermodynamic modelling and MD simulations of the micellization process. Findings: In an atypical process, the surfactants self-assemble in water to form relatively small micelles, where the aggregation number is decreasing with the surfactant concentration. The extensive counterion binding is a key characteristic of the micelles. The analysis strongly indicates complex compensation between the degree of bound sodium ions and the aggregation number. For the first time, a three-step thermodynamic model was used to estimate the thermodynamic parameters associated with micellization process. Diverse micelles differing in size and counterion binding can (co–)exist in the solution over the broad concentration and temperature range. Thus, the concept of step-like micellization was found inappropriate for these types of micelles.
Asymptotic stability of harmonic maps between 2D hyperbolic spaces under the wave map equation. II. Small energy case

description: In this paper, we prove that the small energy harmonic maps from $\Bbb H^2$ to $\Bbb H^2$ are asymptotically stable under the wave map equation in the subcritical perturbation class. This result may be seen as an example supporting the soliton resolution conjecture for geometric wave equations without equivariant assumptions on the initial data. In this paper, we construct Tao's caloric gauge in the case when nontrivial harmonic map occurs. With the "dynamic separation" the master equation of the heat tension field appears as a semilinear magnetic wave equation. By the endpoint and weighted Strichartz estimates for magnetic wave equations obtained by the first author \cite{Lize1}, the asymptotic stability follows by a bootstrap argument.

description: We introduce differential characters of Drinfeld modules. These are function-field analogues of Buium's p-adic differential characters of elliptic curves and of Manin's differential characters of elliptic curves in differential algebra, both of which have had notable Diophantine applications. We determine the structure of the group of differential characters. This shows the existence of a family of interesting differential modular functions on the moduli of Drinfeld modules. It also leads to a canonical $F$-crystal equipped with a map to the de Rham cohomology of the Drinfeld module. This $F$-crystal is of a differential-algebraic nature, and the relation to the classical cohomological realizations is presently not clear.

description: In general relativity, perturbation theory about a background solution fails if the background spacetime has a Killing symmetry and a compact spacelike Cauchy surface. This failure, dubbed as {\it linearization instability}, shows itself as non-integrability of the perturbative infinitesimal deformation to a finite deformation of the background. Namely, the linearized field equations have spurious solutions which cannot be obtained from the linearization of exact solutions. In practice, one can show the failure of the linear perturbation theory by showing that a certain quadratic (integral) constraint on the linearized solutions is not satisfied. For non-compact Cauchy surfaces, the situation is different and for example, Minkowski space having a non-compact Cauchy surface, is linearization stable. Here we study, the linearization instability in generic metric theories of gravity where Einstein's theory is modified with additional curvature terms. We show that, unlike the case of general relativity, for modified theories even in the non-compact Cauchy surface cases, there are some theories which show linearization instability about their anti-de Sitter backgrounds. Recent $D$ dimensional critical and three dimensional chiral gravity theories are two such examples. This observation sheds light on the paradoxical behavior of vanishing conserved charges (mass, angular momenta) for non-vacuum solutions, such as black holes, in these theories.

Investigation into the immuno-therapeutic potential of melanocortin peptides on activated chondrocytes
Creators: name: Kaneva, Magdalena
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2011

description: Melanocortin peptides are endogenously produced peptides originating from the posttranslational processing of the pro-opiomelanocortin hormone (POMC), exerting their effect by binding to class A G-protein-coupled 7 transmembrane domain receptors, positively coupled to adenylate cyclase. To date five melanocortin receptors have been identified and termed MC1 to MC5. MC1 and MC3 have previously been proposed to exert anti-inflammatory effects by modulating the host inflammatory response. The expression and the functional activity of both receptors was identified and confirmed in the C-20/A4 chondrocyte cell-line, isolated primary bovine and in situ bovine articular chondrocytes. Pro-inflammatory cytokines including IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, produced by activated articular chondrocytes significantly up-regulate matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) gene expression, and inhibit the chondrocyte’s compensatory synthesis pathways required to restore the integrity of the degraded extracellular matrix (ECM). Human C-20/A4 and primary bovine articular chondrocytes were found to produce CC and CXC chemokines, which induced the release of matrix degrading enzymes and activated cell apoptotic pathways. TNF-α significantly up-regulated the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemokines IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, MCP-1 and MMP1 and 13 from C-20/A4 cell line and freshly isolated primary bovine articular chondrocytes. An effect attenuated in the presence of α-MSH and D[TRP]8-γ-MSH. The MC3/4 antagonist SHU9119 blocked the effects of D[TRP]8-γ-MSH but not α-MSH. TNF-α (60.0 pg/ml) stimulation caused ~30% cell death and was partially, but significantly inhibited by treatment of the cells with the melanocortin peptides. The antiinflammatory and chondroprotective effect of melanocortin peptides were then tested on in situ bovine articular chondrocytes, injured by a single blunt impact delivered by a drop tower. The mechanical injury caused significant cell death and up-regulation of the proinflammatory cytokines IL-6 and IL-8, which were significantly reduced on pre-treatment of cartilage explants with melanocortin peptides. Modulation of pro-inflammatory pathways and inflammation-modulated cartilage destruction with subsequent chondrocyte apoptosis appears to be logical development in the potential medical therapy of OA. The small molecular weight of melanocortin peptides should facilitate the absorption from the GI tract and the movement to the cartilage matrix, which together with creative drug delivery methods might potentially prove to be potent therapeutic agents in the future.
