description: In active materials, uncoordinated internal stresses lead to emergent long-range flows. An understanding of how the behavior of active materials depends on mesoscopic (hydrodynamic) parameters is developing, but there remains a gap in knowledge concerning how hydrodynamic parameters depend on the properties of microscopic elements. In this work, we combine experiments and multiscale modeling to relate the structure and dynamics of active nematics composed of biopolymer filaments and molecular motors to their microscopic properties, in particular motor processivity, speed, and valency. We show that crosslinking of filaments by both motors and passive crosslinkers not only augments the contributions to nematic elasticity from excluded volume effects but dominates them. By altering motor kinetics we show that a competition between motor speed and crosslinking results in a nonmonotonic dependence of nematic flow on motor speed. By modulating passive filament crosslinking we show that energy transfer into nematic flow is in large part dictated by crosslinking. Thus motor proteins both generate activity and contribute to nematic elasticity. Our results provide new insights for rationally engineering active materials.

Open Access publishing

description: In the transition towards Open Access (OA), institutional publishing is challenged by fragmentation and varying service quality, visibility, and sustainability. To address this issue, DIAMAS gathers 23 organisations from 12 European countries, well-versed in OA academic publishing and scholarly communication. The project will: 1. Map the current landscape of Institutional Publishing Service Providers (IPSPs) in 25 countries of the ERA with special attention for IPSPs that do not charge fees for publishing or reading. This will yield a taxonomy of IPSPs and an IPSP landscape report, a basis for the rest of the project. 2. Coordinate and improve the efficiency and quality of IPSPs by developing a European Quality Standard for Institutional Publishing (EQSIP). This quality seal will professionalise, strengthen and reduce the fragmentation of institutional publishing in Europe. EQSIP will serve as a benchmark for a gap analysis of the data. The DMP/RDMP outlines how data are to be handled (secured, stored, accessed, preserved) both during the project, and after the project is completed.

description: New Zealand dairy farmers face an increasingly turbulent business environment which poses risks to their survival. To cope with a turbulent environment, dairy farmers need to have resilient farming systems that have the capacity to better deal with volatility. Although system resilience has been given increasing attention recently, limited research has been undertaken about resilience particularly in relation to New Zealand dairy farmers. The main purpose of this study was to develop an understanding of what resilience means for dairy farming and to determine how it might be measured. In the literature review it was identified that resilience can be described as buffer capacity, adaptability and transformability with increasing degrees of change required with each. The research for this paper focused on buffer capacity, the ability of a farming system to â€˜bounce without breakingâ€™, and carried out rigorous statistical analysis of the DairyBaseÂ® database to identify resilience surrogate measures. Of the three attributes of buffer capacity the PCA method identified that the dominant attribute was resistance (both technical and financial efficiency), the less dominant were precariousness (solvency) and latitude (liquidity) attributes. In conclusion, those farms that were more resilient when compared against the less resilient farm businesses, the farms that could â€˜bounce without breakingâ€™ were: 1) technically efficient â€“ produced more milk per cow, hectare and labour unit, 2) financially efficient â€“ generated more profit per unit of revenue, linked costs with prices, had higher Return on Assets. 3) cash liquid â€“ generated more discretionary cash for investment/drawings, 4) managed debt servicing capacity The farms that were able to demonstrate both short-term optimization and long-term adaptability (Darnhofer et al, 2008) were those that were neither low input nor high input pasture based farms. They had farming systems that sat in the middle of the range (system 3) so were able to both respond to favourable and unfavourable conditions to improve or protect results respectively; they displayed the flexibility to bounce and not break. Further research is required to identify how some farm businesses are able to maintain resilience throughout quite volatile climatic and economic environments while others cannot. How do these farmers make sense of the information they receive and make sound decisions and what makes their systems more flexible than others?

description: Marketing of agricultural products and market access has been a well researched topic during recent years. More so in the South African agricultural sector due to the dualistic nature of the South African agricultural sector and the economy in general. There is a distinct difference in the formal and informal agricultural sectors with both facing a number of challenges; there are a number of challenges facing the informal sector specifically related to market access. The aim of this paper is to compare the performance of the formal and informal sectors and to identify the different marketing channels utilised by these sectors, as well as the challenges in the informal sector related to market access. Primary information was gathered by means of structured questionnaires in both the formal and informal red meat sub-sectors in the Free State province of South Africa. Analysis showed that the performance of the informal sector, measured as calving rate and off-take rate is well below that of the formal sector. Although various well established marketing channels exist in the province, producers in the informal sector rarely make use of these channels mainly due to low levels of production and inadequate quality; this is mainly due to lacking herd management and breeding practices brought about by insufficient infrastructure within the informal or communal production systems. This paper concludes that there is still ample scope to increase red meat production within the informal sector by improving calving- and off-take rates. By increasing the calving rate by 35%; beef production could be increased by 325%. South Africa can make a positive contribution towards global red meat production given the predicted increases in global food demand. The main constraints that should be addressed through policy intervention is the availability of basic infrastructure requirements necessary for proper herd management and breeding practices as well as access to credit; which is limited in the informal sector due to the lack of land ownership and subsequently security.

description: Im Klosterleben scheint das Fasten heute weniger streng gelebt zu werden
als früher, und es wird anders begründet (z. B. mit ökologischen Überlegungen).
Gleichzeitig lassen sich in der säkularen Gesellschaft unterschiedliche
Formen von Fasten beobachten, die strenger erscheinen als
die traditionelle klösterliche Askese. Ein Beispiel dafür ist Fasten nach der
Methode von Buchinger-Lützner, das auf eine umfassende Reinigung von
Körper, Geist und Seele zielt und sowohl im religiösen als auch im ‚holistischen
Milieu‘ der neuen Spiritualitäten durchgeführt wird. Anhand des
Fastens lassen sich Übertragungen von asketischen Praktiken aus der klösterlichen
Welt in die säkulare Gesellschaft aufzeigen, aber auch eine Rückkehr
dieser Praktiken in Klöster, die beispielsweise Fastenwochen nach der
Buchinger-Lützner-Methode anbieten oder in denen Mönche oder Nonnen
diese Art des Fastens leben.
Der Beitrag untersucht die Entwicklung des Fastens und dessen Transfers
aus religionssoziologischer Sicht. Er stützt sich auf Feldforschungen, die in
österreichischen katholischen Klöstern und im Rahmen von Fasten- und
Wanderwochen durchgeführt wurden.
description: The transfer of fasting. From monastic asceticism to holistic therapeutic fasting
Fasting as a monastic practice appears to be less strict today than it was in the
past. It is also grounded in different objectives and reasonings (e. g. ecological
considerations). At the same time, various forms of fasting have emerged in
secular society that go beyond even traditional monastic practices of asceticism.
One such example is the fasting method developed by Buchinger-Lützner, which
is designed to thoroughly cleanse the body, spirit and soul, and is being practiced
among religious as well as ‘holistic’ circles of a new spirituality. Fasting, therefore,
exemplifies the transfer of ascetic practices from monastic to secular communities.
However, it also reveals this transfer to be reciprocal as monasteries,
for example, offer fasting retreats according to the Buchinger-Lützner method,
and monks and nuns take up this fasting practice.
This article traces the evolution of fasting and its transfer from a religio-sociological
perspective. Findings will be presented from field research in Catholic
monasteries in Austria as well as observations at fasting and walking retreats.

Christian and Alevist traditions are rich in culinary practices that play an important
role in religious expressions and rituals. This makes the medium of food
an effective tool for interreligious teaching. Preparing and sharing festive dishes
and fasting meals from each religious tradition offers a wholesome approach
to interreligious learning that is gaining popularity. This article analyses this
“culinary” concept through a theoretical framework of the didactics of interreligious
learning in order to investigate its potential as well as its limitations
as a method of encounter-based learning of different religions. It will show how
food can be incorporated in the teaching design of interreligious learning and
highlights different aspects that need to be considered.

Food, bread and flesh in particular, play a central theme in Origen’s homilies on
Leviticus. Following on from his notion that the holy scripture contains the word
of God and thus must be understood spiritually, he also views eating as a spiritual
act. Drawing on the Gospel of John and the epistles of Paul, he likens eating
to hearing and understanding the word of God. He uses images of eating and
food to encourage people to profoundly engage with the word of God, to closely
listen to sermons and teachings, in order to achieve a deeper understanding and
progress in their spiritual journey.

The art of governing conduct : liberalism and the paradox of regulated freedom
Creators: name: Standish, Christine
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This project draws on Michel Foucault's work on \governmentality\" as well as his scattered texts on liberalism to explore a central liberal concern: the \"freedom-regulation\" problematic. Foucault took liberalism to be an art of government that promises prosperity and well being for the whole through liberty of the individual. From this perspective there is a problem in determining just what is free what has to be free and what needs to be regulated The two central poles of the liberal freedom-regulation problem are located in the principle of economic liberty - achieving the objective of unregulated economic activity; and the rule of law - which is necessary to ensure order predictability and certainty. It is this relation that yields the paradox this thesis sets out to investigate. For on the one hand it is central to liberalism that individuals be as free as possible to pursue their own interests in the economic sphere. Indeed the prosperity and well being of society depends upon it. On the other hand it is less clear what degree of freedom should be extended to the private realm of morality and personal conduct. The thesis will show that the development of liberal political economic systems presented a challenge to the inventive capacities of moral philosophers and political economists who sought to devise ever new technologies of government which could control and restrict behaviour whilst continuing to embrace the spirit of \"natural\" individual liberty. Given that liberalism was concerned with discovering the best way to govern in line with its central principles of individual economic liberty and the rule of law the most effective form of regulation was seen as self-regulation or self-discipline. However as I will demonstrate an analysis of liberal thought from the late seventeenth century until the present day reveals that despite their rhetoric major thinkers within the Anglo-Scottish tradition considered the principle of self-regulation to be an impossible ideal that could not be widely deployed in the general community. Basically they see it as an untrustworthy governmental technique as only an elite few are possessed with the strength of character to render them capable of such ethical practice. In general there is recognition that for the majority of the population behaviour and conduct needs to be overtly controlled through governmental techniques of regulation and order. Hence the importance of investigating the paradox of regulated freedom that continues to be deeply embedded in the fabric of liberalism."

description: In the southern Great Plains of the United States of America, farmers are trying to determine the most profitable way to restock their cow herds after the droughts that have occurred since 2003. During this time, farmers reduced their herds by nineteen percent. In 2003, this seven state area, the southern Great Plains, contained forty percent of the United Statesâ€™ cow herd. This paper addresses the questions relative to the profitability of a small farm raising their own replacement heifers to expand their existing cow herds. Given the resources of small farms; if a portion of the resources are used for raising replacement females, does it add or subtract from the overall financial wellbeing of the whole farm? In addition, estimates are derived for the cost of farms to create their own replacement females based on when heifers have their calves and the number of cows in a specific herd. Published data from the Kansas Farm Management Association was used to create enterprise budgets and graphs depicting the profitability of heifer retention for different sized cow herds. The results show that a small farmer using their finite resources towards internal expansion does not increase their overall farm profitability. These results show that it is more cost-effective for small farms to purchase their replacement females from larger ranches who have economies of scale, regarding replacement heifer production.

description: Western Canadian prairie farms are commonly stereotyped as large-scale grain farms located on flat lands that stretch to the horizon, but this misrepresents the diversity of farm operators, the landscape and the prairie ecosystem. This diversity has a profound impact on farm structure and competitiveness. Of particular interest are economically transitional or marginal lands between use in annual crops, forage and pasture. The primary objective of this research is to assess transitional land use, beef cow numbers, farm structure and performance under alternative price scenarios. Individual and sector performance is simulated over a period of 30 years using an agent based simulation model (ABSM). A â€œsyntheticâ€ farm population of 600 individual farming agents is constructed based on statistical data and located on an existing landscape of 341,530 hectares. Important model features are 1) segmented farmland auctions consisting of a primary farmland purchase market and a secondary leasing market; 2) a formalized business and farm expansion model that takes into account farm size, asset lumpiness, machinery technology and replacement policy; 3) individual agent expectations based on prior experience and risk aversion; 4) two basic farm types: grain farms and â€œmixed grain-cowâ€ farms and 5) farm succession. Individual farming agent land use, success or failure in farmland markets and business prosperity are tracked over 30 years and through 100 different price and yield time paths. These are consolidated into a database and sector population statistics and farm structure are analyzed. Past economic trends such as declining farm numbers and increasing farm size are projected to continue; these trends are robust as they are generated under many different time paths and scenarios. Beef cow numbers depend upon land use which is sensitive to agent farm type preferences and wheat-beef price ratios. Large grain price increases have a more dramatic impact on industry structure by creating large structural shifts towards more grain and eventually fewer mixed farms. However, large changes in livestock prices generate smaller structural shifts over time because of the many lags and difficulties in expanding beef cow production.

description: This set of questions was developed with the conceptualized use case of going through each question for an already written draft paper to pay attention to the works cited (and edit appropriately as you determine necessary). The intention is to help you note patterns in terms of publication venues, diversity of sources, where the authors are from geographically, institutionally, intellectual genealogy, categories of race, gender, other intersectional categories.

Note: I would not wish for this set of questions to be translated into a quantitative “rating” that gives a measure of progressive citational practices. Rather, I intend for these questions to help foster a reflective practice of focusing one’s own attention to important aspects that should be considered when writing and citing.
Intra-metropolitan office location : an examination of land and building costs as criteria in the decision to locate offices
Creators: name: Greenwood, David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis reviews office location as a facet of urban spatial arrangements. An analytical framework is presented within which office locators may assess the suitability of alternative locations for the furtherance of office activity. Particularly, this thesis is concerned with office location criteria involved in the decision to locate offices in an intrametropolitan context. Location factors are made explicit with land and building costs subjected to extensive analysis. Relationships are hypothesized between land values and construction costs of office premises and the location of those premises across the metropolitan region. Regression and comparative analyses are utilized to test and determine the significance of these hypotheses. All data relate to the Greater Vancouver Region. This study concludes firstly that there is no linear relationship that adequately describes or predicts changes in assessed land values and construction costs per unit area of net rentable office floor space. Secondly, construction costs per square foot of net rentable floor space are significantly greater at central city locations as opposed to suburban locations. Thirdly, that there is an insignificant difference in assessed land values per square foot of net rentable office floor space as between central city and suburban sites. If assessed land values are a fair indicator of relative market value of office sites then it is implied that there is an insignificant differential in market values, and subsequently the cost of land, per square foot of net rentable office floor space.

description: In this paper, two numerical integration methods for solving Initial Value Problems (IVPs) in Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), namely “Third Order One Step Scheme (TOOSS) and Second Order One Step Scheme (SOOSS)” have been considered. The order of convergence, consistency and the stability properties of the schemes have been investigated. From the analyses, it is observed that SOOSS and TOOSS have second order convergence and third order convergence, respectively. It is also observed that both numerical integration methods are consistent and stable. Moreover, three IVPs of stiff differential equations were solved to examine the performance of SOOSS and TOOSS in terms of absolute relative errors. Hence, the numerical results show that TOOSS performs better than SOOSS because of its higher order of accuracy.

description: Alone at the table? Ancient and modern Jewish responses to the looming disappearance
of communal rituals in crisis situations
A communal meal represents much more than the sharing and eating of food.
The ritual character of this communal practice imbues every meal with a deeper
meaning, which is consumed and absorbed by all participants. What are the effects then of not being able to participate in communal meals? This article attempts
to answer this question by drawing on two examples. First, ancient Jewish
texts that tell of the promise that the communal meal will resolve all social
and religious issues experienced in this life in the world to come will be analysed.
Second, modern ritual strategies to celebrate Passover 2020/5780 and unite the
community despite the restrictions and social-distancing measures in light of
the pandemic will be presented. The article aims to draw links between the ritual
of sharing meals and the building of community through rituals. Literary examples
from the turn of the era and today are specifically selected for comparison
with the further aim of combining past and present aspects of Judaism in this
academic exploration of the ritual of communal meals in difficult social, cultural
and religious circumstances.

description: We report the dispersion measurements, using angle-resolved reflection electron-energy-loss-spectroscopy (AREELS), on two-dimensional (2D) plasmons in single and multilayer graphene which couple strongly to surface optical phonon (FK phonon) modes of silicon carbide substrate. The coupled modes show discrete dispersion behaviors in the single and bilayer graphene. With increasing graphene layers on SiC(0001), a transition from plasmon-like dispersion to phonon-like dispersion is observed. For plasmon-like modes, the dispersion is strongly damped by electron-hole pair excitations at entering single-particle continuum, while phonon-like mode is undamped. In the region free of coupling, the graphene 2D plasmon exhibits acoustic behavior with linear dispersion with slope and damping determined by the Fermi surface topology.

This puts direct pressure on the processing companies to procure good quality potatoes at reasonable prices, in order to remain competitive. The aim of this paper is to develop a procurement marketing framework that will assist processing companies with the establishment of longer term contracts and relationships with producers as suppliers. This framework is constructed by evaluating the needs of producers, transaction costs, the profit margins, price risks and incentives such as Decision Support Models.

The thing-in-itself and will in the thought of Schopenhauer
Creators: name: Nicholls, Moira
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The central claim of Schopenhauer's philosophy is that the thing-in-itself is will. After giving a brief overview of the way in which this claim has been interpreted by other commentators I argue that it has at least six possible interpretations. I assess the relative importance of each, both to Schopenhauer himself and to the commentator attempting to construct the most consistent account of Schopenhauees central doctrines. I argue that Interpretations 1 and 2, according to which the thing-in-itself is identical with the will or the will-to-live, are the most important to Schopenhauer, while Interpretation 3 is the most consistent with his other doctrines. According to Interpretation 3, while the thing-in-itself is will, it also has other aspects, and I argue that these other aspects are the objects of mystical awareness and salvation. According to Interpretation 4 the thing-initself is unknown but is called will in the qualified sense that the will stands nearest to the thing-in-itself, and according to Interpretation 5 the thing-in-itself is called will but only metaphorically; I argue that these two interpretations are less well supported than 1, 2 and 3. Finally, according to Interpretation 6, the will is the metaphysical but non-noumenal essence of the phenomenal world, and I argue that this is suggestive of a world-view that Schopenhauer might well have embraced had his thought continued to develop. Next, I turn to issues of justification. One, is Schopenhauer justified in claiming that there is a thing-in-itself and that it is will? Two, is he justified in claiming that we can have knowledge of the thing-in-itself and know it as will? Three, is he justified in using language to talk about the thing-in-itself and describe it as will? I argue that despite the inadequacies in Schopenhauer's own arguments, other arguments provide some measure of support for his claim that there is a thing-in-itself that we can know and describe as will. In Appendices 1, 2 and 3, I consider how the possibility arises of multiple interpretations of Schopenhauer's fundamental claim that the thing-in-itself is will, my discussion focussing on some of the influences of Kant and Eastern thought on his thinking, and some of the influences of Plato.

description: Polarimetry of extrasolar planets becomes a new tool for their investigation, which requires the development of diagnostic techniques and parameter case studies. Our goal is to develop a theoretical model which can be applied to interpret polarimetric observations of extrasolar planets. Here we present a theoretical parameter study that shows the influence of the various involved parameters on the polarization curves. Furthermore, we investigate the robustness of the fitting procedure. We employ the physics of Rayleigh scattering to obtain polarization curves of an unresolved extrasolar planet. Calculations are made for two cases: (i) assuming an angular distribution for the intensity of the scattered light as from a Lambert sphere and for polarization as from a Rayleigh-type scatterer, and (ii) assuming that both the intensity and polarization of the scattered light are distributed according to the Rayleigh law. We show that the difference between these two cases is negligible for the shapes of the polarization curves. In addition, we take the size of the host star into account, which is relevant for hot Jupiters orbiting giant stars.
title: Ansätze für eine islamische Speiseethik gemäß den islamischen Primärquellen Koran und Hadith
Creators: name: Karagedik, Ulvi
Publisher: name: Universität Graz
Year: 2021

description: Der vorliegende Beitrag beinhaltet eine Sichtung der islamischen Primärquellen
Koran und Prophetenüberlieferungen (Hadith). Während der Koran
den Muslim:innen als die wörtliche Offenbarung Gottes gilt (vgl. Çınar
2017), zählen prophetische Überlieferungen in der islamischen Frömmigkeit
als einschlägigste Quelle vorbildlicher Religionspraxis (vgl. Schimmel
1989). Beide Quellen sind daher höchst relevant in Bezug auf die islamische
Religionspraxis und enthalten eine enorme Bandbreite an speiseethischen
Vorgaben. Anhand jener Inhalte werden Sinn und Zweck der islamischen
Speiseethik beleuchtet, Kategorien definiert und gegenwartsbezogene
Auswirkungsdimensionen erfragt.
description: Approaching a dietary ethics in Islam according to the Qur’an and hadith.
A categorical examination of the primary scriptures to determine the relevance
of food traditions today
This article presents a review of the primary Islamic scriptures, the Qur’an and
hadith (reports of statements or actions of the prophet Muhammad). While
Muslims believe the Qur’an to be an oral revelation from God (cf. Çınar 2017),
the prophetic accounts of hadith constitute the primary source of devout religious
practices (cf. Schimmel 1989). As such, both texts define and shape Islamic
practices. They also describe a plethora of dietary rules. The examination of
scriptural sources will reveal the reasoning and purpose behind Islamic dietary
ethics, relevant categories will be defined and their impact on today’s practices
will be investigated.

Effective Hamiltonian for a liquid-gas interface fluctuating around a corrugated cylindrical substrate in the presence of van der Waals interactions
Creators: name: Dutka, F.

description: We investigate liquid layers adsorbed at spherical and corrugated cylindrical substrates. The effective Hamiltonians for the liquid-gas interfaces fluctuating in the presence of such curved substrates are derived via the mean-field density functional theory. Their structure is compared with the Helfrich Hamiltonian which is parametrized by the bending and Gaussian rigidity coefficients. For long-ranged interparticle interactions of van der Waals type these coefficients turn out to be non-universal functions of interfacial curvatures; their form varies from one interface to another. We discuss implications of the structure of these functions on the effective Hamiltonian.

description: In quantum computing, characterizing the full noise profile of qubits can aid in increasing coherence times and fidelities by developing error-mitigating techniques specific to the noise present. This characterization also supports efforts in advancing device fabrication to remove sources of noise. Qubit properties can be subject to non-trivial correlations in space and time, for example, spin qubits in MOS quantum dots are exposed to noise originating from the complex glassy behavior of two-level fluctuator ensembles. Engineering progress in spin qubit experiments generates large amounts of data, necessitating analysis techniques from fields experienced in managing large data sets. Fields such as astrophysics, finance, and climate science use wavelet-based methods to enhance their data analysis. Here, we propose and demonstrate wavelet-based analysis techniques to decompose signals into frequency and time components, enhancing our understanding of noise sources in qubit systems by identifying features at specific times. We apply the analysis to a state-of-the-art two-qubit experiment in a pair of SiMOS quantum dots with feedback applied to relevant operation variables. The observed correlations serve to identify common microscopic causes of noise, such as two-level fluctuators and hyperfine coupled nuclei, as well as to elucidate pathways for multi-qubit operation with more scalable feedback systems.

The book as metaphor for the female self : a visual investigation through the medium of the artist's book
Creators: name: Oakes, LJ
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: One of the primary aims of my project is to consider how the book can be used visually as a vehicle to express the self and the female body. The impetus for this investigation came from my own interest in books and the stories that they hold. As my investigation progressed it became a self portrait, a way to both reveal and conceal my own story. The story of my chronic disease gave me a way to pull apart and reconstruct what a book could be. I have considered the notion that traumatic experience can manifest internally and physically emerge like a hidden text unfolding. The project outlines some of the history of the book, cultural associations of the book with women and the development of the artists' book. I look at how the physicality and language associated with the book has similarities with the female body. To inform my investigation I examined the work of artists who primarily address the related themes of the body, the book and the female self. I particularly looked at Paula Rego, Johanna Drucker, Nancy Spero, Audrey Niffenegger and Sally Smart who all make direct reference to their own stories using the idea of the book. I also drew on the writings of Johanna Drucker and Keith Smith who have both written extensively about the artists' book. Alberto Manguel's History of Reading and Stephen Bollman's book, Reading Woman, particularly Karen Joy Fowler's thoughts in her foreword about women reading, were also significant to my research. My visual investigation employed strategies of deconstruction and reconstruction of books, photographs and text. I examined Elizabethan portraits of women with books and Victorian photographic portraits, medical and anatomical drawings, old fashioned books on etiquette, fairy tales and revisited my family album. I reconfigured these sources to make a story that is more personal to myself, turning the library I was given into a library that better expresses myself. However, the project is neither cathartic nor nostalgic. In the final submission I present books as sculpture, as wearable objects, as props, as images and all as vehicles for the story of my physical and emotional traumas. Altogether, the work reveals a fragmented and broken text, giving glimpses of my past rather than a full disclosure of the actual story.
PR - Agricultural Policy Implementation: Introducing Real-life Complexity

description: The paper deconstructs the commonly used terms â€œstateâ€ and â€œagricultureâ€ at a provincial level and dwell on the concept of the rational civil servant. In the case of state the challenge of moving beyond institutionalised silos are discussed. It was shown that agriculture consists out a multitude of actors, that representation often overlap and that similarities with a â€œtragedy of the commonsâ€ can be observed in the way some of the actors maximise personal gains. To understand the system non-traditional schools of thought such as Social Economic Systems and Bounded Rationality may provide answers.
