Rhythms That {Bind}: Emerging Through Dissonance, Tessa Hailu
Rhythms That {Bind}: Emerging Through Dissonance, Tessa Hailu
Dance (MFA) Theses
This thesis aims to interrogate systematic approaches to organization(s) and our innate desire for control to achieve a balanced “rhythmic” flow of life to ultimately preserve a sense of security. This investigation challenges the comforts of habits, routine, and order to push up against the binding effects of these predictable cycles that remain structured for reassurance. This research also considers what happens when one doesn’t have the choice to bind themselves TO safety but are otherwise bound BY rhythms of which they have no control. Taking into account our anatomical existence, the ecological systems in which we operate, and life’s …

Evaluating Reactive Gliosis In The Brain Of Adult Zebrafish Following The Ingestion Of Nanopolystyrene., Hannah A. Kelehear
Evaluating Reactive Gliosis In The Brain Of Adult Zebrafish Following The Ingestion Of Nanopolystyrene., Hannah A. Kelehear
College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations
Polystyrene nanoplastics are one of the most pervasive environmental contaminants and have been shown to infiltrate multiple organ systems following ingestion. Studies in several animal models and humans have demonstrated that nanoplastics can cross the blood-brain barrier. Additionally, there is evidence that plastics will induce an inflammatory response in the brain involving reactive gliosis of microglia and astrocytes. This process has yet to be thoroughly investigated in the zebrafish model system in the context of micro-/nanoplastic ingestion. In the current study, we examined microglial and astrocytic phenotypes in the adult zebrafish telencephalon after consuming food contaminated with 44 nm polystyrene …
Investigation Of Topologically Protected Wave Propagation Near Dirac-Like Cones In Acoustic Metamaterials, Md Arif Iqbal Khan
Investigation Of Topologically Protected Wave Propagation Near Dirac-Like Cones In Acoustic Metamaterials, Md Arif Iqbal Khan
College of Graduate Studies: Theses & Dissertations
This study presents a novel approach to investigate an exceptionally rare acoustic phenomenon – topologically protected wave propagation (TPWP) within a solid-solid domain. While previous research has attempted to unravel the physics behind this phenomenon, most efforts have been grounded in the framework of condensed matter physics and quantum mechanics often requiring complex geometries to realize TPWP in solid-fluid interactions. In contrast, this thesis introduces a geometric tuning method that enables the achievement of TPWP with simpler geometric configurations within a solid-solid domain. Rather than explaining by the quantum trio - quantum anomalous hall effect, quantum valley hall effect, and …

แม้ว่าคุณลักษณะหนึ่งของสังคมสมัยใหม่ คือ การเป็นสังคมปฏิเสธความตายที่การแพทย์และสถาบันทางศาสนาเข้ามามีอำนาจเหนือการตัดสินใจต่อความตายของปัจเจก ในบทความนี้ ผู้เขียนจะใช้แนวคิดของ Tony Walter ที่มองว่าแต่ละสังคมมีวิถีความตาย (Deathway) เฉพาะของตนที่เป็นผลมาจากปัจจัยและประวัติศาสตร์เชิงพื้นที่การศึกษาวิถีความตายของแต่ละท้องถิ่นจึงมีความสำคัญ ผู้เขียนสำรวจปรากฏารณ์การโอบรับกิจกรรมเรื่องตายในบริบทของสังคมเมืองสมัยใหม่ เช่น งานเทศกาลความตาย การจัดแสดงประติมากรรมเรื่องตาย และ คาเฟ่เรื่องตาย เป็นต้น เพื่อชี้ให้เห็นถึงนัยสำคัญของการโอบรับ “มรณิจกรรม” หรือ เดธทิวิตี (Deathivity) ของคนเมืองที่จะเปลี่ยนภูมิทัศน์ของความตายด้วยการประกอบสร้างความหมายใหม่ผ่านตัวแสดง คือ เทคโนโลยีดิจิทัล การทำให้เป็นสาธารณะ และการทำความตายให้เป็นกิจกรรมมากขึ้น ท้ายที่สุดแล้ว ผู้เขียนจะชี้ให้เห็นถึงรูปแบบการมีปฏิสัมพันธ์ต่อความตายสมัยใหม่ (modern death) ซึ่งเป็นการจัดประกอบหรือเรียนรู้ความตายด้วยประสบการณ์ของปัจเจก ซึ่งอีกนัยหนึ่งคือการพยายามค้นหาความหมายและคุณค่าของการมีชีวิตทำให้การโอบรับอาสัญทนาการที่ปรากฏให้เห็นกลายเป็นพื้นที่ของการเรียนรู้เพื่อเปลี่ยนแปลง (transformative space) หนึ่ง คือ พื้นที่ของการเติบโตภายใน และ สอง คือพื้นที่ของการเปลี่ยนผ่านภูมิทัศน์ความตายสู่กลไกของการกล่อมเกลา ถกเถียงและตั้งคำถามเรื่องตายที่สอดรับกับความเป็นสมัยใหม่มากยิ่งขึ้น ท้ายที่สุดแล้ว ผู้เขียนยังมองว่าแม้ภูมิทัศน์ความตายจะมีตัวแสดงใหม่เข้ามา แต่รากฐานที่ทำให้สังคมไทยไม่ได้เป็นสังคมปฏิเสธความตายอย่างสิ้นเชิง คือสองรากของความเปิดกว้างและการมีส่วนร่วม ที่ทำให้เดธทิวิตีกลายเป็นหนึ่งในกระบวนการเรียนรู้เรื่องตายของสังคมสมัยใหม่
