Prison Space, Social Control And Relationships In A Post-Soviet Women’S Prison, Arta Jalili Idrissi
Prison Space, Social Control And Relationships In A Post-Soviet Women’S Prison, Arta Jalili Idrissi
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
This thesis attempts to capture, at the macro, meso and micro levels, the ideological rupture, which has emerged after the breakdown of the Soviet project in Latvia, and in particular its effect on penality and women’s imprisonment. This rupture has been conceptualized as a ‘clash of the titans’, which is the ongoing struggle between a Soviet legacy that refuses to die and an increasingly dominant neoliberal regime. While the breakdown of Soviet hegemonic power signaled a victory for democracy and market economics, the spread of western liberal democracies has been a challenge for post-Soviet societies. While democratic traditions took centuries …
Gender And Devotion In Dominican Painting In Renaissance Florence: Suor Plautilla Nelli In The Context Of The Nine Modes Of Prayer And The Frescoes Of San Marco Monastery, Shannon Lewis
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
This thesis examines the gender dynamics of the Italian Renaissance in relation to the devotional imagery created by Dominican painters. It draws attention to the representations of Dominican saints used as models for male and female devotion, such as St Dominic and St Catherine of Siena. The thesis begins with a broad history of gender differences which essentially affected the cultural developments limiting female productivity in image-making, as well as an understanding of how social views and values dictated the ideal behaviours expected for women to abide by. It is pointed out that the core limitations women faces was through …
The Photosynthesiser - A Methodology For Mapping Environmental Conditions, Pivotal To The Speed Of Photosynthesis In Plants, Through Sonification., Oliver Brand
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
Traditionally, the close inspection of data requires visual guidance in the form of displays depicting numeric or graphical representations over time. Sonification offers a way to convey this data through auditory means, relinquishing the need for constant display monitoring. To enable horticulturists to continue to move and work around their environment a proposed sonification mapping system for the key environmental conditions, vital for optimum levels of photosynthesis, has been developed. The outcome of this research was to provide a monitoring system that was both musical and meaningful with regards to data fluctuations and most importantly, could be interpreted by a …
Poor Copy: Fan Practices And Producerly Art Making, Beth Emily Richards
Poor Copy: Fan Practices And Producerly Art Making, Beth Emily Richards
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
This thesis includes a body of artworks including performance, video, photography and audio installation, a zine, and textile artwork, documentation of which is presented via a YouTube channel, also titled Poor Copy. This research explores methodological similarities between fan and art practices, and analyses how fans, artists, and their methods of making engage with extant narratives. Two histories act as a narrative throughline for this investigation: a 1999 Michael Jackson concert in Barnstaple, North Devon, where the performer may or may not have been a tribute artist; and a day in 2002 when Michael Jackson visited Exeter City Football Club, …
Digital Porosity And Its Impact On The Mediation Of Networked Images, Claudia Pilsl
Digital Porosity And Its Impact On The Mediation Of Networked Images, Claudia Pilsl
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
This doctoral research examines digital porosity and how this effect of the Internet influences the mediation of networked images. This practice research is informed by the hypothesis that digital porosity affects the communication of data with it the perception of context and chronological order of events. Digital porosity, intended as a loose analogy to the kind of porosity depicted by Benjamin and Lacis (1925) in their description of everyday life in ‘Naples’, is a neologism that I devised to describe one of the consequences of the Internet since web 2.0. As the area afflicted by digital porosity is potentially large, …
To The Wall: London's Murals And 'The Left', 1975-1986, Ben Wiedel-Kaufmann
To The Wall: London's Murals And 'The Left', 1975-1986, Ben Wiedel-Kaufmann
Other Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Business Theses
This thesis examines the relationship between Left-wing politics and a body of exterior murals made in London between 1975 and 1986. Across this period approximately three hundred murals were made on the walls of London’s streets. Funded by a complex amalgam of predominantly state patronage, many of these murals gave form to the politics of the radical and oppositional Left. While murals featured briefly in art critical debates of the late 1970s and have since been included within broader histories of community and public art, this is the first extended study centred upon this remarkable moment of cultural production. Applying …

Relational Rural Geographies, Resilience, And Narratives Of Small-Scale Fruit Farming In The Metropolitan Countryside Of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Felipe Da Silva Machado
Relational Rural Geographies, Resilience, And Narratives Of Small-Scale Fruit Farming In The Metropolitan Countryside Of Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, Felipe Da Silva Machado
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Theses
This thesis analyses the processes through which farming and rural communities in transition economies build resilience in the face of changes to rural areas caused by globalisation and urbanisation. The study is based on analysis of how urban-rural interactions have affected small-scale farming in the metropolitan countryside of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, an area where land-use, economic and environmental policies and urban land speculation have prompted increasing competition between agricultural, industrial, residential and conservation land uses within a highly multifunctional countryside. To achieve this, the research examined the pressures facing farmers in areas affected by the metropolitan dynamics of Rio …
Using Spatial Patterns Of Fluvial Incision To Constrain Continental-Scale Uplift In The Andes, L. A. Evenstar, A. E. Mather, A. J. Hartley
Using Spatial Patterns Of Fluvial Incision To Constrain Continental-Scale Uplift In The Andes, L. A. Evenstar, A. E. Mather, A. J. Hartley
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Geomorphic archives, particularly longitudinal river profiles, are increasingly used as a proxy to reconstruct uplift rates in mountainous regions. Within the Atacama Desert, Northern Chile, slow, long-term erosion creates exceptional preservation of fluvial and alluvial surfaces. This enables river incision patterns to be used on a continental-scale (>250 km) along the western margin of the Andes (18°00'S to 20°15′S) and over a time frame from Miocene to Present day. The data show marked compartmentalisation of fluvial system behaviour with changes in incision rates from south to north creating 3 distinctly different regions. Within these different sectors, incision rates are …

Magnetic Anisotropy Reveals Acadian Transpressional Fabrics In An Appalachian Ophiolite (Thetford Mines, Canada), A Di Chiara, Antony Morris, Mark W. Anderson, Luca Menegon, Alain Tremblay
Magnetic Anisotropy Reveals Acadian Transpressional Fabrics In An Appalachian Ophiolite (Thetford Mines, Canada), A Di Chiara, Antony Morris, Mark W. Anderson, Luca Menegon, Alain Tremblay
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
SUMMARY Magnetic anisotropy has proved effective in characterizing primary, spreading-related magmatic fabrics in Mesozoic (Tethyan) ophiolites, for example in documenting lower oceanic crustal flow. The potential for preservation of primary magnetic fabrics has not been tested, however, in older Palaeozoic ophiolites, where anisotropy may record regional strain during polyphase deformation. Here, we present anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility results from the Ordovician Thetford Mines ophiolite (Canada) that experienced two major phases of post-accretion deformation, during the Taconian and Acadian orogenic events. Magnetic fabrics consistent with modal layering in gabbros are observed at one locality, suggesting that primary fabrics may survive deformation …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Vousdoukas et al. assert that global sea-level rise (SLR) poses a threat to the existence of sandy beaches. They use global databases of sandy beaches, bathymetry and wave conditions to drive a simple model based on the Bruun rule to quantify shoreline retreat, to which they add a background ambient trend based on satellite data. When retreat is more than 100 m by 2100, they declare those beaches near extinct by the end of the century. We feel that this is an incorrect and potentially damaging finding. Critical to the paper’s conclusions is the fact that, provided that accommodation space …

School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
Fish acute toxicity tests are conducted as part of regulatory hazard identification and risk-assessment packages for industrial chemicals and plant protection products. The aim of these tests is to determine the concentration which would be lethal to 50% of the animals treated. These tests are therefore associated with suffering in the test animals, and Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development test guideline 203 (fish, acute toxicity) studies are the most widely conducted regulatory vertebrate ecotoxicology tests for prospective chemical safety assessment. There is great scope to apply the 3Rs principles-the reduction, refinement, and replacement of animals-in this area of testing. …

Understanding The Fate Of Active Pharmaceutical Compounds In Waters Receiving Poorly Or Untreated Wastewater For The Development Of A Dedicated Environmental Risk Assessment Approach, Simone Bagnis
School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Theses
The global increasing consumption and production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) is of a growing environmental concern. The inherently biological activity of APIs creates a concern of potential ecotoxicological effects even at very low concentrations. Such risk is particularly exacerbated in low and low-middle income countries (LLMICs) where it is common the practice of direct discharge of untreated wastewater (DDUW) into surface waters, which creates a heavily polluted area downstream, described as the “impact zone”. Little is known about the environmental fate of APIs in this area. Nevertheless, measured environmental concentrations (MECs) of LLMICs show higher concentrations than for high-income …

School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Habitat modification coupled with the spread of non-native species (NNS) are among the top threats to marine biodiversity globally. Species are known to be transported to new locations via international shipping and secondarily spread via regional vessels and artificial structures. Rapid Assessment Surveys (RAS) combining quantitative and semi-quantitative methods compared NNS richness and assemblage composition on intertidal natural rocky shores and artificial structures in harbours in different regions along the south coast of England. Quantitative data showed that artificial habitats supported higher richness than natural habitats, while semi-quantitative data found no difference in richness among habitat types. This result was …
