Great Exhibition

<p>This thesis considers the practice of New Zealand-born artist, Patrick Pound (b. 1962) through an analysis of his survey show, Patrick Pound: The Great Exhibition, which was staged at the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne between 31 March and 30 July 2017. The Great Exhibition demonstrates the complexity and multiplicity of Pound’s practice, exemplifying the interconnectedness of his thinking and his use of an algorithmic approach to collecting, curating and categorisation. His depth of art-historical knowledge plays out as an intricate puzzle. The scope of The Great Exhibition is vast and, while it might appear to mostly involve the arrangement of more than 4,000 vernacular photographs and found objects, alongside 300 items from the NGV’s collection, the methodologies of collecting and curation employed by Pound are multifaceted.  I consider the constancy of Pound’s interrogation of authorship and meaning throughout his practice, which is integrally related to his use of vernacular photographs and found objects within The Great Exhibition. I examine our relationship with vernacular photography and how this is exposed in The Great Exhibition. The practices of artists such as Erik Kessels, Joachim Schmid and Marcel Duchamp provide context here. Chapter Three asks how The Great Exhibition fits within a wider context of exhibitions by artist-as-curators such as Fred Wilson’s Mining the Museum and Edward Steichen’s The Family of Man. This chapter also examines how computer algorithms can be applied as a framework for understanding The Great Exhibition’s curatorial logic. Pound’s complex system of sorting and categorising into matrices and intersections is considered in relation to writer Georges Perec and his understanding of Alan Turing’s conceptualisation of the ‘Automatic’ and ‘Oracle’ machines. My conclusion reflects on what can and cannot be learned from Patrick Pound’s The Great Exhibition.</p>

Penyelidikan ini merangkumi pemahaman metafora melalui perkaitan objek perwakilan dengan seni untuk meningkatkan nilai dan estetika dalam memahami karya seni. Karya seni dapat didefinisikan dalam dua bentuk format iaitu representasi dan bukan representasi. Kedua-dua bentuk format ini menekankan modenisme. Penyelidikan ini membincangkan objek yang dijumpai mewakili kiasan 'kepercayaan' serta memiliki ciptaan seni sambil mencerminkan sejarah, fungsi dan dikontekstualisasikan dalam Karya Seni 2D. Konsep siap pakai diperkenalkan pada tahun 1917 ketika Marcel Duchamp memperkenalkan idea untuk menjelaskan kemampuan sifat fizikal, refleksi psikologi, dan adanya ideologi untuk meniru simbol, dan metafora sebagai akar dalam paradigma baru dalam praktik konseptual. Bahanbahan 'berbicara' dengan sendirinya dalam mewakili 'realisme' sebagai keputusan untuk memperkuat persepsi objektiviti dan mempersoalkan tradisi praktik perwakilan di era modernisme. Kualiti idea ini membawa kepada pengabstrakan dan pemahaman yang kompleks tentang bahasa dan komunikasi seni. Penyelidikan ini menerangkan dua metodologi dalam merujuk objek dan subjek dalam seni visual. Metodologi ini metafora dalam pendekatan semiotik dan psikoanalitik dalam perspektif. Dalam semiologi, metafora melibatkan dan memerlukan satu cara penting iaitu 'penanda' di mana ia merujuk kepada subjek utama (literal) dan juga dinyatakan dalam subjek sekunder (kiasan).   This research covers the understanding of metaphor through the association of representational objects to art to enhance the value and aesthetic in understanding artworks. Artwork can be defined in two forms of format which are representational and non-representational. These two forms of format emphasise modernism. This research discusses the found objects which represent the metaphor of ‘belief’ as well as possess artistic creation while reflecting history, functionality and being contextualised in 2D Artworks. The concept of ready-made was introduced in 1917 when Marcel Duchamp introduced the idea of explaining the capability of physical properties, psychological reflection, and the existence of ideology to imitate symbol, and metaphor as a root in the new paradigm in conceptual practises. The materials ‘speak’ by itself in representing ‘realism’ as a decision to reinforce perception of objectivity and questioning the tradition of representational practice in the era of modernism. This quality of ideas leads to abstraction and complex understanding of the language and the communication of art. This research explains two methodologies in referring to objects and subjects in visual art. These methodologies are metaphor in semiotic approach and psychoanalytic in perspective. In semiology, metaphor involves and needs one mode of significance which is the ‘signifier’ in which it refers to the primary subject (literal) and also expressed in the secondary subject (figurative).

Despite the historical knowledge on amphibians of the Purus River basin, basic information on assemblages is fragmented, with gaps in knowledge existing at various scales, which limits conservation strategies. This study provides information on the composition, richness and abundance of the amphibian fauna in varzea environments and floating meadows of the oxbow lakes of the Middle Purus River between the Boca do Acre and Pauiní municipalities, Amazonas, Brazil. We sampled six oxbow lakes using forty-seven 200-meter transects, distributed among the "floating meadows," "high varzea" and "low varzea," from April to January 2014. We recorded 59 species, with the family Hylidae being predominant. This amphibian fauna represents approximately 19% of the species known for the Amazon, 28% for Amazonas State and 45% of the species recorded so far in the Purus River, increasing the richness of the basin to 132 species. Eight species were considered rare, and 29 are endemic to the Amazon. This study adds to the knowledge on the amphibian species of the Amazonian lowlands, including the expansion of known distributions, as well as increases the knowledge of several species that are locally rare, endemic and/or that are data deficient regarding distribution and ecology.

AbstractThe automorphisms of the canonical core UHF subalgebra ℱn of the Cuntz algebra 𝒪n do not necessarily extend to automorphisms of 𝒪n. Simple examples are discussed within the family of infinite tensor products of (inner) automorphisms of the matrix algebras Mn. In that case, necessary and sufficient conditions for the extension property are presented. Also addressed is the problem of extending to 𝒪n the automorphisms of the diagonal 𝒟n, which is a regular maximal abelian subalgebra with Cantor spectrum. In particular, it is shown that there exist product-type automorphisms of 𝒟n that do not extend to (possibly proper) endomorphisms of 𝒪n.

Integrable systems play an important role in modern mathematics, theoretical and mathematical physics. The display of integrable equations with exact solutions and some special solutions can provide important guarantees for the analysis of its various properties. The Hunter-Saxton equation belongs to the family of integrable systems. The extensive and interesting mathematical theory, underlying the Hunter-Saxton equation, creates active mathematical and physical research. The Hunter-Saxton equation (HSE) is a high-frequency limit of the famous Camassa-Holm equation. The physical interpretation of HSE is the propagation of weakly nonlinear orientation waves in a massive nematic liquid crystal director field. In this paper, we propose a matrix form of the Lax representation for HSE in 𝑠𝑢ሺ𝑛 ൅ 1ሻ/𝑠ሺ𝑢ሺ1ሻ ⊕ 𝑢ሺ𝑛ሻሻ - symmetric space for the case 𝑛 ൌ 2. Lax pairs, introduced in 1968 by Peter Lax, are a tool for finding conserved quantities of integrable evolutionary differential equations. The Lax representation expands the possibilities of the equation we are considering. For example, in this paper, we will use the matrix Lax representation for the HSE to establish the gauge equivalence of this equation with the generalized Heisenberg ferromagnet equation (GHFE). The famous Heisenberg Ferromagnet Equation (HFE) is one of the classical equations integrable through the inverse scattering transform. In this paper, we will consider its generalization. Andalso the connection between the decisions of the HSE and the GHFE will be presented.

Let ${\cal D}_{v,b,k}$ denote the family of all connected block designs with $v$ treatments and $b$ blocks of size $k$. Let $d\in{\cal D}_{v,b,k}$. The replication of a treatment is the number of times it appears in the blocks of $d$. The matrix $C(d)=R(d)-\frac{1}{k}N(d)N(d)^\top$ is called the information matrix of $d$ where $N(d)$ is the incidence matrix of $d$ and $R(d)$ is a diagonal matrix of the replications. Since $d$ is connected, $C(d)$ has $v-1$ nonzero eigenvalues $\mu_1(d),\ldots,\mu_{v-1}(d)$.Let ${\cal D}$ be the class of all binary designs of ${\cal D}_{v,b,k}$. We prove that if there is a design $d^*\in{\cal D}$ such that (i) $C(d^*)$ has three distinct eigenvalues, (ii) $d^*$ minimizes trace of $C(d)^2$ over $d\in{\cal D}$, (iii) $d^*$ maximizes the smallest nonzero eigenvalue and the product of the nonzero eigenvalues of $C(d)$ over $d\in{\cal D}$, then for all $p>0$, $d^*$ minimizes $\left(\sum_{i=1}^{v-1}\mu_i(d)^{-p}\right)^{1/p}$ over $d\in{\cal D}$. In the context of optimal design theory, this means that if there is a design $d^*\in{\cal D}$ such that its information matrix has three distinct eigenvalues satisfying the condition (ii) above and that $d^*$ is E- and D-optimal in ${\cal D}$, then $d^*$ is $\Phi_p$-optimal in ${\cal D}$ for all $p>0$. As an application, we demonstrate the $\Phi_p$-optimality of certain group divisible designs. Our proof is based on the method of KKT conditions in nonlinear programming.

Objective: From the perspective of professionals acting in the Family Health Strategy (FHS) in the state of Piauí, Brazil, the aim of this study was to asses the articulated actions of technical-pedagogical and clinical-care support offered by the Family Health Support Centres (FHSC) to the FHS’s professionals. Methodology: This is an analytical census retrospective study, with a cross sectional design developed in a quantitative approach with a descriptive and exploratory nature. The research data was collected through the Program of Improvement in Quality of Access in Primary Care (PIAQ-PC) in Brazil, on its second cycle in 2013, and were analysed by using descriptive statistics. Results: The actions of clinical-care support has been further developed by FHSC, all with frequency greater than 85%. In Piauí, the fields where FHSC has showed to be the nutritional care, rehabilitation and maternal and child care and also non-communicative diseases NCD that showed frequency higher than 85%. Conclusion: The FHSC initiative contributes significantly with their services to the FHS to achieve its goals. However, to make the work of these teams more effective there must be ownership of Primary Care Services by its user and appreciation of it by the managers. The developed actions are being supported and agreed on among the matrix support teams.  Keywords: Primary Health Care; Health  Promotion; Family Health.

Unstable Position

After tumultuous revisions to the family-level systematics of Laniatores (the armored harvestmen), the basally branching family Phalangodidae presently bears a disjunct and irregular distribution, attributed to the fragmentation of Pangea. One of the curious lineages assigned to Phalangodidae is the monotypic Israeli genus Haasus, the only Laniatores species that occurs in Israel, and whose presence in the Levant has been inferred to result from biogeographic connectivity with Eurasia. Recent surveys of Israeli caves have also yielded a new troglobitic morphospecies of Haasus. Here, we describe this new species as Haasus naasane sp. nov. So as to test the biogeographic affinity of Haasus, we sequenced DNA from both species and RNA from Haasus naasane sp. nov., to assess their phylogenetic placement. Our results showed that the new species is clearly closely related to Haasus judaeus, but Haasus itself is unambiguously nested within the largely Afrotropical family Pyramidopidae. In addition, the Japanese ‘phalangodid’ Proscotolemon sauteri was recovered as nested within the Southeast Asian family Petrobunidae. Phylogenomic placement of Haasus naasane sp. nov. in a 1550-locus matrix indicates that Pyramidopidae has an unstable position in the tree of Laniatores, with alternative partitioning of the matrix recovering high nodal support for mutually exclusive tree topologies. Exploration of phylogenetic signal showed the cause of this instability to be a considerable conflict between partitions, suggesting that the basal phylogeny of Laniatores may not yet be stable to addition of taxa. We transfer Haasus to Pyramidopidae (new familial assignment). Additionally, we transfer Proscotolemon to the family Petrobunidae (new familial assignment). Future studies on basal Laniatores phylogeny should emphasise the investigation of small-bodied and obscure groups that superficially resemble Phalangodidae.

Applying to the sociological data, the author examines the Russians’ perception of the family memory as a source of historical knowledge and proves that the memory about relatives and friends who have become participants and witnesses of the state’s key events seriously “feeds” the emotional citizens’ attitude towards symbols of the state identity and national pride. The actuality of the article is determinated by the global development of digital communication that seriously influences on the interest towards the reconstruction of family history and allows persons today to lift the veil of secrecy over the history of many families. Contemporary internet resources give wide opportunities for many modernized citizens to receive objective historical knowledge about their families. The purpose of this article is to study the specifics of the preservation and reproduction of family memory by the Russia’s citizens. In order to achieve this goal the author implement some research tasks. The author study as the place of the family memory among a number of various historical sources as the demand for family historical knowledge that the persons from different socio-demographic groups has. The special attention is paid to the study of the social media mechanisms that are using in order to reconstruct and reproduce the family memory.
