Paths To The Abstraction: Kandinsky And Rothko, Vera Schueler
Paths To The Abstraction: Kandinsky And Rothko, Vera Schueler
MA Theses
This thesis explores the artistic journeys of Kandinsky and Rothko, focusing on underlying motivations that led them towards the realm of abstraction. Kandinsky and Rothko played pivotal roles in the development and advancement of abstraction in the art world. They shared the belief that only non-figurative art had the power to convey deep meaning and evoke profound emotions, going beyond mere representation of the physical world. Despite their divergent artistic paths, artists were united by the idea of the transformative power of artistic expression and aimed to transcend to the viewer the energy and concepts of their vision through delving …
Bouguereau’S Vampires: Navigating Transgressive Desire In Dante Et Virgile, Angelina Diamante
Bouguereau’S Vampires: Navigating Transgressive Desire In Dante Et Virgile, Angelina Diamante
MA Theses
This thesis investigates William Bouguereau’s Dante et Virgile (1850) in the context of nineteenth century vampire literature, emerging as the seminal text on the matter. Through a cross-discipline examination of Dante’s Divina Commedia (ca. 1308–1321), and two canonical works of Gothic vampire fiction — John Polidori’s The Vampyre (1819) and Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s Carmilla (1872), respectively — prominent affinities are articulated. Comprising a broad scope, this text propounds a panoptic argument that such consonance is demonstrative of a reconciliation between the classical and Gothic, forged by nuances of the composition’s own nineteenth century — the Byronic hero, homoeroticism, Neoclassicism, …

The Behavioural Response Of Captive M. Nigra And C. Capucinus To A Novel Cooperative Enrichment Device At Newquay Zoo, Julia Sullivan
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
In the wild, primates cooperate to overcome challenges and maximise survival. Introducing cooperative tasks to zoo-housed primates may enhance welfare and promote prosocial behaviour in a captive setting. Comparative research on primate cooperation has predominately taken place in primate research facilities, where they are able to control pairing of individuals and incorporate task specific training. Zoos offer the opportunity to explore cooperation under more naturalistic conditions, but there is limited existing literature. I investigated the cooperative behaviour of socially housed groups of Sulawesi black crested macaques (Macaca nigra) (n=7) and White throated capuchins (Cebus capucinus) (n=4) at Newquay Zoo, using …
The Role Of Ubiquitin Ligases Nedd4-1 And Nedd4-2 In The Brain And Their Crosstalk With Alpha-Synuclein And Other Dementia-Related Proteins, James Conway
Peninsula Medical School Theses
Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Dementia with Lewy Bodies (DLB) are a progressive and currently incurable neurodegenerative disease and the most common movement disorder. α-synuclein protein is thought to be the main aetiological agent of PD and DLB, particularly when levels are increased in substantia nigra (SN) dopaminergic neurons, causing cell death. Current PD and DLB treatments are symptomatic and do not target the disease at its source or prevent its progression.In order to develop protective treatments for PD and DLB, it is important to first understand its pathophysiology. Using mice which are genetically altered to exhibit PD-and DLB-like traits at …

Population Genetics Of Green (Chelonia Mydas) And Hawksbill Turtles (Eretmochelys Imbricata) In Grenada, West Indies, Naomi Westlake
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Sea turtle populations within Grenada are believed to be in decline, consistent with worldwide trends. Conservation strategies for green and hawksbill turtles in Grenada are currently limited by a lack of detailed knowledge of the genetic make-up, life history and migration patterns of the local aggregates of these species. Genetic characterisation provides a means for inferring population diversity and origins for these aggregates and to assess potential impacts from regional and worldwide management strategies. Additionally, chelonid alphaherpesvirus-5 (ChHV5) and ChHV5-associated fibropapillomatosis (FP) have recently been reported within Grenada’s green turtle population, but the epidemiology of the disease in Grenada remains …

Investigating The Movement And Foraging Ecology Of Reef Manta Rays (Mobula Alfredi) In The Chagos Archipelago, Joanna Harris
School of Biological and Marine Sciences Theses
Reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) are large zooplanktivorous elasmobranchs of the family Mobulidae. The species is dispersed throughout the Indian and West Pacific Oceans in small, isolated populations that tend to have a limited home range. Individuals within a population regularly visit specific locations to routinely engage in activities such as feeding, where they often exhibit aggregation behaviour. The species face a multitude of anthropogenic threats throughout their range, the most significant of which are target and bycatch fisheries from which they can be most at risk at aggregation sites. Due to their unsustainable depletion, particularly in the Indian Ocean, …

The world has been battling climate change which is caused by an excessive amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Carbon sequestration in geological sinks was identified as one of the major methods to curb and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The carbon dioxide stored in the geological formations must not escape back into the atmosphere. Characterisation of potential reservoirs for geological sequestration is pertinent for injectivity, capacity, and most importantly containment of carbon dioxide. The cap rock is one of the most important factors determining carbon sequestration success. This study focuses on the preliminary characterisation …

Poultry is the second most consumed meat in the world. In Africa, chicken production and processing are practiced both formally and informally, with smallholders constituting the majority in this sector. Informal practices are vulnerable to the production and processing of chicken, which is easily contaminated by pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Salmonella, and Campylobacter . The growth of the poultry industry in Africa, coupled with intensive production, has led to the indiscriminate use of antibiotics and the development of antimicrobial resistance, posing a risk to the health of consumers. However, there are limited studies evaluating the quality and …
