Get PDFTroubling Gender(S) and Consumer Well-Being:Going Across, Between and Beyond the Binaries to Gender/Sex/ual and Intersectional Diversity
Get PDFTroubling gender(s) invites an expansion of the way we study gender so that our scholarship might reflect lived realities. It calls for critical scholarship that seeks to disrupt, as well as explorative scholarship that seeks to leverage and expand categorizations, going “across, between and beyond” the binary. Troubling gender(s) encourages scholars to recognize the vast terrain of gender diversity, and how gender diversity crosses over with sex and sexual diversity and intersecting social locations of difference to shape consumers’ experiences of marketplace inequities, interactions with other people, and perceptions of self. Troubling gender asks scholars to rethink how they measure, use, or capture gender/sex/ual diversity. In short, troubling gender takes us that next step in thinking through how gender matters

Get PDFDiagnostic accuracy of autofluorescence-Raman spectroscopy for surgical margin assessment during Mohs micrographic surgery of basal cell carcinoma
Get PDFAutofluorescence (AF)-Raman spectroscopy has been shown to identify residual basal cell carcinoma (BCC) on frozen skin specimens and fresh skin specimens immediately after excision by Mohs surgery. This first diagnostic test of accuracy of AF-Raman on 130 full-face Mohs tissue layers (130 patients) shows that with improvement in tissue processing, the AF-Raman instrument is viable technique for intra-operative assessment of surgical margins
Non-disjoint strong external difference families can have any number of sets
Get PDFStrong external difference families (SEDFs) are much-studied combinatorial objects motivated by an information security application. A well-known conjecture states that only one abelian SEDF with more than 2 sets exists. We show that if the disjointness condition is replaced by non-disjointness, then abelian SEDFs can be constructed with more than 2 sets (indeed any number of sets). We demonstrate that the non-disjoint analogue has striking differences to, and connections with, theclassical SEDF and arises naturally via another coding application

Get PDFCultural adaption, translation, preliminary reliability and validity of psychological and behavioural measures for adolescents living with HIV in Botswana:A multi-stage approach
Get PDFHuman immunodeficiency virus (HIV) remains a significant public health issue among young people living in Botswana. There is a need for reliable and valid psychological and behavioural measures of causally important constructs for this population. We developed a new HIV knowledge measure for use with 10–19-year-olds living with HIV and translated and adapted additional tools measuring HIV adjustment, HIV disclosure cognitions and affect, HIV communication beliefs, antiretroviral (ART) adherence, and self-esteem, using a multi-step process. This included (1) item generation for the HIV knowledge questionnaire, (2) translation including back-translation and expert review, (3) cognitive interviewing, (4) reliability testing (5) preliminary validity analysis. The HIV Knowledge Questionnaire for Adolescents living with HIV, the Illness Cognition Questionnaire, the Adolescent HIV Disclosure Cognition and Affect Scale, the HIV Communication Beliefs Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale showed acceptable or good reliability and some evidence of validity for adolescents living with HIV in Botswana
The shakuhachi retranslated: an exploration, expansion, and evaluation of new instrumental capabilities through the collaborative creation of new works for the Kingma System C flute.
Get PDFThis research project creates a new methodology for repertoire creation that explores the capabilities and benefits of the Kingma System when applied to the retranslation of shakuhachi techniques. A novel, three-stage framework is applied demonstrating: the use of transcription to discover; re-interpretation to solidify; and repertoire creation to creatively use instrumental techniques including alternate fingerings and multiphonics. The research takes place in the context of my own practice as a performer-composer and is presented through recordings of transcriptions of traditional shakuhachi repertoire, modification of existing music, and the seven new works created. These recordings are accompanied by this thesis. The thesis is separated into two parts: the first concerns itself with understanding the shakuhachi and its already established role as a source of inspiration for western flute compositions. This is done through transcribing shakuhachi repertoire and discovering techniques that use the affordances of the Kingma System flute before putting them into practice through re-interpreting Kazuo Fukushima’s Shun San. The collaborative relationships entered during this research are assessed and scrutinised in the second part where I offer a new graphic interpretation of collaboration and create a spectral view of the relationships based on a pre-existing model of musical collaboration between composer and performer. This part also investigates the resultant body of new repertoire for flute and electronics, exploring techniques that are derived from earlier stages of the research as the sounds of the shakuhachi are retranslated into new and diverse musical contexts. Combined, the submitted recorded practice and thesis document the process of understanding a new instrument’s capabilities through focussed application and repertoire creation, providing a model for future research that can be applied to any instrument. <br/
