description: CO observations in active galactic nuclei and star-bursts reveal high kinetic temperatures. Those environments are thought to be very turbulent due to dynamic phenomena such as outflows and high supernova rates. We investigate the effect of mechanical heating (MH) on atomic fine-structure and molecular lines, and their ratios. We use those ratios as a diagnostic to constrain the amount of MH in an object and also study its significance on estimating the H2 mass. Equilibrium PDRs models were used to compute the thermal and chemical balance for the clouds. The equilibria were solved for numerically using the optimized version of the Leiden PDR-XDR code. Large velocity gradient calculations were done as post-processing on the output of the PDR models using RADEX. High-J CO line ratios are very sensitive to MH. Emission becomes at least one order of magnitude brighter in clouds with n~10^5~cm^-3 and a star formation rate of 1 Solar Mass per year (corresponding to a MH rate of 2 * 10^-19 erg cm^-3 s^-1). Emission of low-J CO lines is not as sensitive to MH, but they do become brighter in response to MH. Generally, for all of the lines we considered, MH increases excitation temperatures and decreases the optical depth at the line centre. Hence line ratios are also affected, strongly in some cases. Ratios involving HCN are a good diagnostic for MH, such as HCN(1-0)/CO(1-0) and HCN(1-0)/HCO^+(1-0). Both ratios increase by a factor 3 or more for a MH equivalent to > 5 percent of the surface heating, as opposed to pure PDRs. The first major conclusion is that low-J to high-J intensity ratios will yield a good estimate of the MH rate (as opposed to only low-J ratios). The second one is that the MH rate should be taken into account when determining A_V or equivalently N_H, and consequently the cloud mass. Ignoring MH will also lead to large errors in density and radiation field estimates.

description: The utilization and valorization of agricultural waste is a key strategy for the implementation of a sustainable economy to lessen the environmental footprint of human activities on Earth. This work describes the use of rice husk (RH) from agricultural waste to prepare a highly active catalyst for the reduction of nitro compounds. RH was impregnated with various cobalt complexes bearing N-donor ligands, then pyrolyzed and the resulting composite was etched with a base to remove the silica domains. The composition and morphology of the prepared materials were investigated by IR, AAS, ICP-OES, XRD, BET, XPS and SEM technics. The material showed excellent activity and selectivity in the hydrogenation of nitro groups in aromatic and aliphatic substrates. A remarkable selectivity towards nitro groups was found in the presence of various reactive functionalities, including halogens, carbonyls, borates, and nitriles. Apart from their excellent activity and selectivity, these catalysts showed remarkable stability, allowing their easy recovery and multiple reuse without requiring re-activation.

description: Application desired functionality as well as operation expenses of cold atmospheric pressure plasma (CAP) devices scale with properties like gas selection. The present contribution provides a comparative investigation for a CAP system operated in argon or helium at different operation voltages and distance to the surface. Comparison of power dissipation, electrical field strength and optical emission spectroscopy from vacuum ultraviolet over visible up to near infrared ((V)UV-VIS-NIR) spectral range is carried out. This study is extended to safety relevant investigation of patient leakage current, induced surface temperature and species density for ozone (O3) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). It is found that in identical operation conditions (applied voltage, distance to surface and gas flow rate) the dissipated plasma power is about equal (up to 10 W), but the electrical field strength differs, having peak values of 320 kV/m for Ar and up to 300 kV/m for He. However, only for Ar CAP could we measure O3 up to 2 ppm and NOx up to 7 ppm. The surface temperature and leakage values of both systems showed different slopes, with the biggest surprise being a constant leakage current over distance for argon. These findings may open a new direction in the plasma source development for Plasma Medicine.

description: A series of strontium titanates-vanadates (STVN) with nominal cation composition Sr1-xTi1-y-zVyNizO3-δ (x = 0–0.04, y = 0.20–0.40 and z = 0.02–0.12) were prepared by a solid-state reaction route in 10% H2–N2 atmosphere and characterized under reducing conditions as potential fuel electrode materials for solid oxide fuel cells. Detailed phase evolution studies using XRD and SEM/EDS demonstrated that firing at temperatures as high as 1200◦C is required to eliminate undesirable secondary phases. Under such conditions, nickel tends to segregate as a metallic phase and is unlikely to incorporate into the perovskite lattice. Ceramic samples sintered at 1500◦C ex-hibited temperature-activated electrical conductivity that showed a weak p(O2 ) dependence and increased with vanadium content, reaching a maximum of ~17 S/cm at 1000◦C. STVN ceramics showed moderate thermal expansion coefficients (12.5–14.3 ppm/K at 25–1100◦C) compatible with that of yttria-stabilized zirconia (8YSZ). Porous STVN electrodes on 8YSZ solid electrolytes were fabricated at 1100◦C and studied using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy at 700–900◦C in an atmosphere of diluted humidified H2 under zero DC conditions. As-prepared STVN electrodes demonstrated comparatively poor electrochemical performance, which was attributed to insufficient intrinsic electrocatalytic activity and agglomeration of metallic nickel during the high-temperature synthetic procedure. Incorporation of an oxygen-ion-conducting Ce0.9Gd0.1O2-δ phase (20–30 wt.%) and nano-sized Ni as electrocatalyst (≥1 wt.%) into the porous electrode structure via infiltration re-sulted in a substantial improvement in electrochemical activity and reduction of electrode polarization resistance by 6–8 times at 900◦C and ≥ one order of magnitude at 800◦C.

description: Due to the rapid growth of internet broadband access and proliferation of modern mobile devices, various types of multimedia (e.g. text, images, audios and videos) have become ubiquitously available anytime. Mobile device users usually store and use multimedia contents based on their personal interests and preferences. Mobile device challenges such as storage limitation have however introduced the problem of mobile multimedia overload to users. In order to tackle this problem, researchers have developed various techniques that recommend multimedia for mobile users. In this survey paper, we examine the importance of mobile multimedia recommendation systems from the perspective of three smart communities, namely, mobile social learning, mobile event guide and context-aware services. A cautious analysis of existing research reveals that the implementation of proactive, sensor-based and hybrid recommender systems can improve mobile multimedia recommendations. Nevertheless, there are still challenges and open issues such as the incorporation of context and social properties, which need to be tackled in order to generate accurate and trustworthy mobile multimedia recommendations.

description: In this paper we present our solid-state nanosecond pulse source (the solid-state impedance-matched Marx generator) which can generate arbitrary waveforms and which can be used for pulsed discharge generation. The purpose of the development of such a generator is twofold: by being able to change the waveform at will, we aim to control the discharge generated by such pulses very precisely which can be very useful for plasma applications, but also for more fundamental studies. In the presented study, we applied the arbitrary-waveform pulse source for streamer discharge generation in a cylinder-wire-like arrangement and used the arbitrary-waveform capability to change the rise time (in our experiments we used 6.8-26.2 ns) of unipolar positive pulses with 6-10 kV amplitude and 80 ns duration. Additionally, we introduced variations of a step in the rising edge of the waveform. We performed measurements both in air and nitrogen to electrically characterize the discharge while analyzing the streamer propagation in the plasma reactor with intensified charge-coupled device imaging and measured ozone generation (in air). The results show that we can indeed control the propagation of the streamer discharge with the stepped waveform, but that the rise-time variation has little effect on the streamer propagation in our system. However, the streamer velocity and structure differs significantly comparing discharges in nitrogen and air for the same applied voltage waveform. Additionally, for some of the stepped waveforms we found a slight increase of the ozone yield for air at low overall energy densities.

description: The web tool Adamant has been developed to systematically collect research metadata as early as the conception of the experiment. Adamant enables a continuous, consistent, and transparent research data management (RDM) process, which is a key element of good scientific practice ensuring the path to Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) research data. It simplifies the creation of on-demand metadata schemas and the collection of metadata according to established or new standards. The approach is based on JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) schema, where any valid schema can be presented as an interactive web-form. Furthermore, Adamant eases the integration of numerous available RDM methods and software tools into the everyday research activities of especially small independent laboratories. A programming interface allows programmatic integration with other software tools such as electronic lab books or repositories. The user interface (UI) of Adamant is designed to be as user friendly as possible. Each UI element is self-explanatory and intuitive to use, which makes it accessible for users that have little to no experience with JSON format and programming in general. Several examples of research data management workflows that can be implemented using Adamant are introduced. Adamant (client-only version) is available from: https://plasma-mds.github.io/adamant.
Classical geometry from the tensionless string

description: Tensionless string theory on $\text{AdS}_3\times\text{S}^3\times\mathcal{M}$ is explored in the limit that the strings wind the asymptotic boundary a large number of times. Although the worldsheet is usually thought to be localised to the $\text{AdS}$ boundary, we argue that the string can actually probe the bulk geometry in this limit. In particular, we show that correlation functions can be expressed in terms of a minimal-area worldsheet propagating in $\text{AdS}_3$. We then relate the classical motion of the string to the twistor-like free field description of the tensionless worldsheet theory. Finally, we consider a particular dimensional reduction of $\text{AdS}_3$ to $\text{AdS}_2$, and show that the effective action of the worldsheet formally resembles the one-dimensional Schwarzian theory of JT gravity with conical defects.

description: Cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes comprise COX-1 and COX-2 isoforms and are responsible for prostaglandin production. Prostaglandins have critical roles in the inflammation pathway and must be controlled by administration of selective nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Selective COX-2 inhibitors have been among the most used NSAIDs during the ongoing coronavirus 2019 pandemic because they reduce pain and protect against inflammation-related diseases. In this framework, the mechanism of action of both COX isoforms (particularly COX-2) as inflammation mediators must be reviewed. Moreover, proinflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, and IL-8 must be highlighted due to their major participation in upregulation of the inflammatory reaction. Structural and functional analyses of selective COX-2 inhibitors within the active-site cavity of COXs could enable introduction of lead structures with higher selectivity and potency against inflammation with fewer adverse effects. This review focuses on the biological activity of recently discovered synthetic COX-2, dual COX-2/lipoxygenase, and COX-2/soluble epoxide hydrolase hybrid inhibitors based primarily on the active motifs of related US Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs. These new agents could provide several advantages with regard to anti-inflammatory activity, gastrointestinal protection, and a safer profile compared with those of the NSAIDs celecoxib, valdecoxib, and rofecoxib.

description: Superconducting condensation energy $U_0^{int}$ has been determined by integrating the electronic entropy in various iron pnictide/chalcogenide superconducting systems. It is found that $U_0^{int}\propto T_c^n$ with $n$ = 3 to 4, which is in sharp contrast to the simple BCS prediction $U_0^{BCS}=1/2N_FΔ_s^2$ with $N_F$ the quasiparticle density of states at the Fermi energy, $Δ_s$ the superconducting gap. A similar correlation holds if we compute the condensation energy through $U_0^{cal}=3γ_n^{eff}Δ_s^2/4π^2k_B^2$ with $γ_n^{eff}$ the effective normal state electronic specific heat coefficient. This indicates a general relationship $γ_n^{eff} \propto T_c^m$ with $m$ = 1 to 2, which is not predicted by the BCS scheme. A picture based on quantum criticality is proposed to explain this phenomenon.

description: The much sought after optical transistor --the photonic counterpart of the electronic transistor-- is poised to become a central ingredient in the development of optical signal processing. The motivation for using photons rather than electrons not only comes from their faster dynamics but also from their lower crosstalk and minor environmental decoherence, which enable a high degree of integration and the realization of quantum operations. A single-molecule transistor has been recently demonstrated at cryogenic temperatures. Here, we demonstrate that a single NV centre at room temperature can operate as an optical switch under non-resonant CW illumination. We show optical modulation of more than 80% and time response faster than 100 ns in the green-laser-driven fluorescence signal, which we control through an independent near-infrared (NIR) gating laser. Our study indicates that the NIR laser triggers a fast-decay channel of the NV mediated by promotion of the excited state to a dark band. This simple concept opens a new approach towards the implementation of nanoscale optical switching devices.

title: A Search for a New Paradigm in Korean Contemporary Art A Proposal for an Exhibition 'Beyond Surface Culture: The New Grammar of Korean Contemporary Art'
Creators: name: Hyun, Jae Min
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the character of Korean contemporary art. I argue that an intense time-space compression produced by communication technology and the information revolution of the late 20th century has meant that Korean society has experienced the symptom of 'schizophrenia', as theorized by Fredric Jameson, which understands the modern capitalist world as being a perpetual present and characteristically depthless. Facilitated by this flourishing media culture and the rapid diffusion of digital technologies, I claim that a new 'surface culture' emerged in Korean society as Korean society became accustomed to identifying information through images and adopting the concomitant superficiality that this engenders. The Korean art world has also been heavily affected by Western artistic and cultural content through various media and exchanges with the international world, largely as a consequence of the nation's 'globalization policy'. I assert that Korean artists have experienced a new type of visual sensation and stimulation amid the torrent of information and started to understand the world as raw material by registering the received content based on its surface and turning it into modules. However, instead of looking at the current situation in a negative way, I argue for a positive evaluation based on Mario Perniola's 'philosophy of the present', as the basis to propose a new paradigm in Korean contemporary art. According to Pernio la, contemporary society is a full world where everything is available, and what is important is to manage the data and use it appropriately. I argue that one-way communication and the actuality of mass media influence in Korea has reached its peak, and that Korean artists have begun to develop a new paradigm of accumulating data and have begun alTanging it according to their own criteria throughout the last decade. In conclusion, I propose an exhibition featuring the art practices which embrace this new paradigm, and which explore innovative ways of making inventories and classifying history and culture.

description: In this project, we assessed the role of schema-consistent and schema-inconsistent information during the retrieval of semantic, episodic, and event memories. In experiment 1, participants were trained in the laboratory to develop a new schema by providing consistent and inconsistent feedback. In experiment 2, a naturally-developed schema (cultural life script) was employed to investigate if schema-consistent and schema-inconsistent episodic memories are recalled and recognised differently. Findings revealed that participants applied schema-consistent information for concept formation and semantic memory retrieval. However, schema-inconsistent event and episodic memories were better recalled than schema-consistent ones. Moreover, information related to high-frequent cultural life script was better recalled than low-frequent ones.

description: The Equitable Coloring Problem is a variant of the Graph Coloring Problem where the sizes of two arbitrary color classes differ in at most one unit. This additional condition, called equity constraints, arises naturally in several applications. Due to the hardness of the problem, current exact algorithms can not solve large-sized instances. Such instances must be addressed only via heuristic methods. In this paper we present a tabu search heuristic for the Equitable Coloring Problem. This algorithm is an adaptation of the dynamic TabuCol version of Galinier and Hao. In order to satisfy equity constraints, new local search criteria are given. Computational experiments are carried out in order to find the best combination of parameters involved in the dynamic tenure of the heuristic. Finally, we show the good performance of our heuristic over known benchmark instances.
title: Women's Internet Portals: Negotiating Online Design Environments within Existing Gender Structures in Order to Engage the Female User
Creators: name: Sadowski, Noemi
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2005

description: This thesis encapsulates my investigation of women's commercial Internet portals as examples of design practice targeting female users. I present a case study of BEME. com, an Internet portal created as a direct development of the traditional women's magazine publishing industry in response to a boom in dot. corn industries at the end of the 1990s. I explore the design environment responsible for the interpretations of the aims of the publishing house into material outcomes and analyse the ability of design practice to develop strategies to counter gender representations within the women's magazine publishing industry. It is my argument that there is a need for Internet designers to be aware of how gender is represented and furthermore be conscious of their ability and responsibility to apply this awareness to design practice. Most importantly, the notion of 'many truths' rather then one 'design practitioners' truth', introduces the possibility of alternative epistemologies. This is crucial to the question of how design practice as a tool of creative production can embody alternative meanings through recognition of existing gender structures. Furthermore, locating the BEME. com case study within feminist postmodernism incites a new way of understanding the problematic relationship between design practice and theory, the Internet and female users. Therefore, I assert the potential of online portal design to offer alternative ways of communicating to female users in such a way as to resist and combat the gendered status quo. The new knowledge obtained from this research provides important insight into the ways design practice attempts to reconcile a critical agenda with gender structures. It also illuminates female users' tendency to disassociate with identities constructed in gendered niche marketing. It is clear from my research that current commercial imperatives are deeply implicated in gendered structures. Therefore, three key indications for better design for a female niche market emerge from the BEME. com case study. They are (a) centre all aspects of the design process on the actual end-user; (b) consciously recognise the folly of using gender alone as an appropriate description of female audiences; (c) be aware of social, cultural and political factors that exert influence over the design process. Finally the obtained knowledge offers insight into the general lack of interest on the part of designers working within industry that trades heavily in gender stereotypes, to problematise this process and their role within it. Rather, as feminist critiques of design practice reveal, design practitioners maintain gender values by constructing consumer profiles by means of gendered assumptions.

description: The Rapid Exchange Forum (REF) emerged as a crucial initiative during the Covid-19 pandemic, facilitating swift and structured cross-country information exchange among experts and institutions supporting national governments in crisis response. This collaborative effort, initially fostered by members of the Joint Action on Health Information (JA InfAct), quickly gained the European Commission's support and formalisation under the Population Health Research Infrastructure (PHIRI).
REF meetings provided a trusted platform for ad-hoc inquiries, shared perspectives, and insights, involving altogether 31 countries, thereof 3 non-PHIRI partners, and 11 organisations. This exchange included data, key indicators, best practices, and experiences pertinent to the Covid-19 crisis response. Notably, all REF meetings were expertly hosted, moderated, and documented by Gesundheit Österreich GmbH (GÖG) with support from Sciensano.
A retrospective Needs Assessment Summary reflects on REF's development over four phases corresponding to pandemic evolution across Europe. It showcases main topics and modifications to the REF processes and methodology as well as the progress of topics over time.
A SWOT Analysis reveals that strengths include REF´s adaptability for expanding to other thematic areas, its transparent structure fostering trust, and the rapid communication and information exchange it facilitated. However, it also shared the need for incentives to sustain long-term engagement.
In conclusion, REF demonstrated its value during the Covid-19 pandemic by providing a reliable network for evidence-based cross-country exchange. Its flexibility and expansion into population health topics illustrate its sustainability. The European Health Information Portal (HIP) and REF exchange must be maintained to enable efficient communication among stakeholders for future health crises.

description: We report the discovery of a massive planet OGLE-2008-BLG-355Lb. The light curve analysis indicates a planet:host mass ratio of q = 0.0118 +/- 0.0006 at a separation of 0.877 +/- 0.010 Einstein radii. We do not measure a significant microlensing parallax signal and do not have high angular resolution images that could detect the planetary host star. Therefore, we do not have a direct measurement of the host star mass. A Bayesian analysis, assuming that all host stars have equal probability to host a planet with the measured mass ratio implies a host star mass of M_h = 0.37_{-0.17}^{+0.30} M_Sun and a companion of mass M_P = 4.6^{+3.7}_{-2.2} M_Jup, at a projected separation of r_proj = 1.70^{+0.29}_{-0.30} AU. The implied distance to the planetary system is D_L = 6.8 +/- 1.1 kpc. A planetary system with the properties preferred by the Bayesian analysis would be a challenge to the core-accretion model of planet formation, as the core-accretion model predicts that massive planets are far more likely to form around more massive host stars. This core accretion model prediction is not consistent with our Bayesian prior of an equal probability of host stars of all masses to host a planet with the measured mass ratio. So, if the core accretion model prediction is right, we should expect that follow-up high angular resolution observations will detect a host star with a mass in the upper part of the range allowed by the Bayesian analysis. That is, the host would probably be a K or G dwarf.

description: Two theoretical methods of finding resonant states in open quantum systems, namely the approach of the Siegert boundary condition and the Feshbach formalism, are reviewed and shown to be algebraically equivalent to each other for a simple model of the T-type quantum dot. It is stressed that the seemingly Hermitian Hamiltonian of an open quantum system is implicitly non-Hermitian outside the Hilbert space. The two theoretical approaches extract an explicitly non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian in a contracted space out of the seemingly Hermitian (but implicitly non-Hermitian) full Hamiltonian in the infinite-dimensional state space of an open quantum system.

Conceptualising Singapore’s Detention ‘Painscape’: Trauma, Identity and Resilience

description: This thesis furthers our understanding of the nature and harms of political detention by examining the traumatic legacies of this institution in Singapore. It sets out to problematise established understandings of identity, rehabilitation, and ‘release’. It explores these themes by examining 135 oral history interviews. These testimonies illuminate how pain was, and is, experienced and negotiated by former detainees and those around them at different points of Singapore’s detention chain. I propose that pain experienced during political detention should be conceptualised as a multi-layered continuum of individual and collective experiences that were shaped by participants’ encounters with indefinite detention.
Projective Spectrum and Cyclic Cohomolgy

description: For a tuple $A=(A_1,\ A_2,\ ...,\ A_n)$ of elements in a unital algebra ${\mathcal B}$ over $\mathbb{C}$, its {\em projective spectrum} $P(A)$ or $p(A)$ is the collection of $z\in \mathbb{C}^n$, or respectively $z\in \mathbb{P}^{n-1}$ such that the multi-parameter pencil $A(z)=z_1A_1+z_2A_2+\cdots +z_nA_n$ is not invertible in ${\mathcal B}$. ${\mathcal B}$-valued $1$-form $A^{-1}(z)dA(z)$ contains much topological information about $P^c(A):=\mathbb{C}^n\setminus P(A)$. In commutative cases, invariant multi-linear functionals are effective tools to extract that information. This paper shows that in non-commutative cases, the cyclic cohomology of ${\mathcal B}$ does a similar job. In fact, a Chen-Weil type map $κ$ from the cyclic cohomology of ${\mathcal B}$ to the de Rham cohomology $H^*_d(P^c(A),\ \mathbb{C})$ is established. As an example, we prove a closed high-order form of the classical Jacobi's formula.

description: Computer mediated communication has marked differences from the face-to-face context. One major difference is that, in the online context, we often have explicit access to others' opinions and these opinions are often the only informational cues available. We investigate if awareness of opinion congruence, in the absence of any other reference categories, may be sufficient to foster social identification. In a pre-registered experiment (N = 681), we manipulated exposure to opinions, and measured levels of ingroup identification, opinion-based identification and their social influence on activism intentions. Our results demonstrate exposure to others' opinions in an otherwise anonymous context fosters ingroup and opinion-based identification. There was no effect on opinion-based group activism intentions. We conclude that computer mediated contexts have consequences for identification – opinion (in)congruence is becoming more relevant as a source of social categorization. While we did not find this identification had a social influence on activism, we discuss avenues for future research to disen?tangle the features of opinion-based groups necessary to foster activism.

description: Abstract 
Background:Erector spinae plane block (ESPB) block is a relatively novel truncal block that tries to place local anesthetic (LA) between the thoracic transverse process and erector spinae muscle. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ESPB on pain, analgesic consumption, hemodynamic parameters, and adverse effects. Methods: This pilot interventional study was conducted on 15 adult patients between 18-65 years, American Society of Anesthesiologists class II, body mass index between 20 and 40 kg/m2 with malignant renal tumors scheduled for open nephrectomy under general anesthesia. Patients received continuous ESPB 20 ml of 0.25% bupivacaine was injected as a bolus dose in the epidural catheter 30 min before the induction of general anesthesia. Prior to making the skin incision, bupivacaine 0.125% was then continuously infused at a rate of 6 ml/h. After 24 hours, the dose was increased by 2 ml/h increments up to 10 ml/h. Results: Numerical rating scale (NRS) at rest was significantly lower at 2h (P value=0.035), higher at 12h (P value=0.026) and was insignificantly different at 1, 4, 6 and 24 h compared to post-anesthesia care unit (PACU). NRS at movement was significantly lower at 2, 4 and 24h (P value <0.05) and higher at 12h (P value=0.041) and was insignificantly different at 6h compared to PACU. Eight (53.33%) patients required morphine. The mean value (± SD) of time of first rescue analgesia was 4.27 (±4.46) h. The mean value (± SD) of total intra-operative fentanyl consumption was 64.67 (±26.96) μg/kg. The mean value (± SD) of total dose of bupivacaine consumption was 192.3 (±30.96) mg and of the number of total doses was 2 (±2.45). Conclusions: When treating postoperative pain after open nephrectomy for renal malignancy operations, ultrasound guided continuous ESPB has promise as an easy and effective approach.
Space, Power and Language: Anachóric Spaces, Fiction and Built Form

Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Literary theory

description: My thesis uses literary fiction to re-examine the relationship between space, power and language, revitalising the role of fiction in the critical discussion of urban space by challenging the common conception of space as singular. I develop and apply a concept I am calling Anachóric spaces. The term 'Anachóric' draws together three concepts: ana- (again), chora (space), and -ic (pertaining to); thus, Anachóric spaces hold a plurality of space in suspension. The concept is used to unpack a series of typologies of urban space, through literary fiction and built form, and examine the conception and operation of power within them.

description: The World's second oldest system of judicial review of national legislation emerged through court practice from the very first years after the adoption of the Constitution of Norway in 1814. The review is exercised by the ordinary courts at all levels with the single Supreme Court as the last instance. No specialized constitutional court has been established. The independence of the judiciary is generally recognized as high. But what degree of legitimacy should judges appointed in order to ensure ordinary judicial business enjoy when exercising a basically political function like reviewing and possibly setting aside acts of Parliament?
