A Conceptual Model for the Analysis of Site-Specific Installations

In the previous chapter, I argued for a broader notion of site specificity than the connectivity between the artwork and the physical location of display. The institutional and sociocultural contexts of production and reception were also identified as parameters for a site-specific installation, leading to my suggestion to conceive site specificity as a network of site-specific functions. In the current chapter, I develop a conceptual model for the analysis of site-specific installation artworks to understand how this network is formed and transforms over time. The model consists of two parts, one focusing on a categorization of the various functions of site specificity; the other proposing a methodology to compare successive iterations of the artwork and to analyse which “factors of influence” cause changes at a particular biographical stage.

Impact of Electronic Medication Management on the Physical Location of Work in a Paediatric Setting

Electronic medication management (eMM) systems can have a significant impact on efficiency and safety. There is limited evidence on the effects of eMM implementation on the physical location of work. The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of eMM and associated hardware implementation on the location of tasks performed by doctors and nurses. 41.5 hours of observation were conducted in the oncology ward of a paediatric hospital. Tasks, locations and resources used were recorded pre and post eMM implementation. Results showed that a wider variety of locations were used to conduct tasks following eMM implementation. Post-eMM, more tasks were performed in the hallway, where medication trolleys with attached laptops were situated, and in patient rooms where additional computers were installed, providing more opportunities for patient/carer and clinician interaction. The findings from this study reveal the impact that computer placement has on the location of work for doctors and nurses, and the importance of planning hardware placement for eMM implementation.

Optimization of IoT-Enabled Physical Location Monitoring Using DT and VAR

This study shows an enhancement of IoT which gets sensor data and performs real-time face recognition to screen physical areas to find strange situations and send an alarm mail to the client to make remedial moves to avoid any potential misfortune in the environment. Sensor data is pushed onto the local system and GoDaddy Cloud, whenever the camera detects a person to optimize the Physical Location Monitoring System by reducing the bandwidth requirement and storage cost onto the Cloud using edge computation. The study reveals that Decision Tree (DT) and Random Forest give reasonably similar macro average f1-score to predict a person using sensor data. Experimental results show that DT is the most reliable predictive model for the Cloud datasets of three different physical locations to predict a person using timestamp with an accuracy of 83.99%, 88.92%, and 80.97%. This study also explains multivariate time series prediction using Vector Auto Regression that gives reasonably good Root Mean Squared Error to predict Temperature, Humidity, Light Dependent Resistor, and Gas time series.

FATAL CONFLICT REFLECTIONS IN MARTIN MCDONAGH'S THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE

This study focuses on the reasons of mother-daughter conflicts in Martin McDonagh's The Beauty Queen of Leenane. As the twenty-first century was approaching, a new movement of young playwrights emerged on the UK theatre scene. One of the most controversial and beloved representatives of this wave is Martin McDonagh. The author was born and raised in London as the son of an Irish family. In 1996, McDonagh's first play The Beauty Queen of Leenane was staged in Ireland, and then found its place in London and New York, fascinating much attention. Also staged in Turkey, this play of four characters has become the starting point of McDonagh's extraordinary theatrical career. In the play, Maureen, a forty-year-old single woman, still lives with her domineering mother Mag. For years, Maureen has spent her time by cooking, feeding the chickens, and shopping while taking care of her ailing and grumpy mother on her own. In The Beauty Queen of Leenane Maureen and Mag live an isolated life due to their physical location and relationships with each other. Maureen dreams of escaping her mother's house and her town called Leenane. She blames her mother and sisters for her miserable situation. The harsh, rude and hurtful conversations between mother and daughter always continue with conflict. As the play progresses it becomes obvious that this relationship between the two characters is completely disintegrated.

For 19-Month-Olds, What Happens On-Screen Stays On-Screen

Humans rely extensively on external representations such as drawings, maps, and animations. While animations are widely used in infancy research, little is known about how infants interpret them. In this study, we asked whether 19-month-olds take what they see on a screen to be happening here and now, or whether they think that on-screen events are decoupled from the immediate environment. In Experiments 1–3, we found that infants did not expect a falling animated ball to end up in boxes below the screen, even though they could track the ball (i) when the ball was real or (ii) when the boxes were also part of the animation. In Experiment 4, we tested whether infants think of screens as spatially bounded physical containers that do not allow objects to pass through. When two location cues were pitted against each other, infants individuated the protagonist of an animation by its virtual location (the animation to which it belonged), not by its physical location (the screen on which the animation was presented). Thus, 19-month-olds reject animation-reality crossovers but accept the depiction of the same animated environment on multiple screens. These results are consistent with the possibility that 19-month-olds interpret animations as external representations.

REVIEWING HOME EDUCATION LITERATURE: DOES IT MATTER WHERE WE LEARN?

The last 20 years has seen a global increase in studies investigating various aspects of Home Education (HE) and the physical location of learning in relation to schooling; the physical location of learning outside of schooling remains under researched. This paper provides a review of some, but not all, of the existing literature, leading us to see where there are potentially gaps in the research as well as gaps in the opportunities for creative methodologies. The review starts with Home Education within the context of Scottish/UK education history and policy. It should be noted that at present there are very few differences between Scottish Home Education Policy and that from Westminster. Then we move to the exploration into Education Capital and how Bourdieu’s theories and ideas may or may not apply in the Home Education context. Firstly, this review finds that there is a very limited body of research that is specifically concerned with the voice of the home-educated children, who experience and live learning, in alternative provision; secondly this review notes the limited number of studies concerned with just what education means, to home educating families, or the value they place upon education in spaces outside of schools. It cannot be assumed that because a family have chosen to home educate, that the decision was entirely ideological. Very briefly, due to the recent lockdown of March 2020 onwards, a small amount of research is included following Covid-19 and the nationwide Home Education of most of the children in the UK. Strikingly, and despite how new this research is, the value of education within the home is still missing from core topics as is for the most part, the coproduction of data with the children’s voices at the heart of Home Education research. <p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/edu_01/0896/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>

Placed Appearances: Narrative, the Space of Appearance, Place

The space of appearance is defined by the German political thinker Hannah Arendt as a public space, originating in the Athenian polis, where the “I” and the “Other” meet for the possibility of acting politically. This space, in the subjective formulation of some later scholars, is more about citizens “no matter where they happen to be,” and less about “the city-state in its physical location,” architecture, or urban design. The space of appearance thus conceived is independent of place as the subjective creation of citizens, over against the objectivity of the city. In this study, I argue to the contrary that the space of appearance as a story-telling site achieves place-bound identity through narrativity. My study expands the definition of the space of appearance based on a phenomenological understanding of place as a way that humans feel at home through narrative. I argue that the physical location of the space of appearance is in fact fundamental to its meaning, since place as the setting is part of the narrative.

The Meaning Of A Moment : An Analysis Of The Photomicrographs Of Dr. Max Poser In Response To Their Physical Location And Trajectory

Dr. Max Poser was a researcher, scientist, and lecturer in the fields of ophthalmology and physiological optics at the New York based optics company, Bausch & Lomb. This thesis examines a group of his silver gelatin photographs located at George Eastman House and compares this series of 1930s photomicrographs to other images by Dr. Poser at the Bausch & Lomb archive. This thesis contextualizes the photographs within the history of photomicrography, the biography of Dr. Poser, and his work at Bausch & Lomb to understand why these photographs were made. Several of these photomicrographs were exhibited and published before arriving at the museum, and these frameworks show how the usage of a photograph can change how it is understood. Finally, the thesis examines the physical locations where each of the objects is kept and how those locations generate different connotations that reflect the mission of each institution.

A DAM Alternative : Increasing Access To The Image Permanence Institute's Photograph Collection Using Adobe Bridge

Implementing a digital asset management (DAM) system can be an expensive and complicated endeavor, especially for non-profit organizations with limited budgets and technical staff. This applied thesis project presents an alternative to tradition DAM systems by utilizing the browsing and searching capabilities of Adobe Photoshop Bridge. For this project, hundreds of photographs were digitized and assigned keywords. By applying descriptive keywords to the digital images and using a file naming structure that references the physical location of the original objects, the objects in the Image Permanence Institute's photograph collection become more accessible to researchers and staff. In addition to providing a workflow, this thesis provided information of digitization techniques and standards.
