Beyond Silver
No full textMetals and minerals are of the earth - extracted, purified, dried, cut, mould, extruded, dissolved and filtered. Photographic images are of the earth, they are metals and minerals, polished, coated, sensitised, exposed, developed, washed, fixed, displayed. We rely on the sensitivity of these metals to depict the world around us, the earth that they come from.
Silver has taken a leading role in this history - it is a history of colonisation, extraction, and depiction. From Louis Daguerre’s Daguerreotypes to Henry Fox Talbot’s calotypes in the early 1800s, to today's digital Chromogenic prints - silver is seen as unbeatable when it comes to making a quality, archivable photographic image. However, silver is not the only metal used for image making.
The London Alternative Photography Collective present “Beyond Silver”, an exhibition that explores the relationships between analogue photography and metallurgy. The exhibition will consider the use of silver in photography, as well as shining a light on many of the other metals that are used within photographic image production, in both historical and contemporary practice. In addition to silver, the exhibition will include works which utilise lesser known metals in photography including iron, copper, tin, aluminium, platinum and palladium.

Optimising household food waste behaviour for diet quality and food security
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to understand how to optimise householders’ food waste behaviour using a case study in the UK. The research contributes evidence for effective and targeted food waste behaviour interventions to reduce food waste for improved food security, diet quality and reduced greenhouse gas emissions. The thesis takes a three-paper structure with a final chapter that presents a collation of results into the Motivation, Abilities and Opportunities framework to assist well-rounded intervention planning. Drawing on international literature on household food waste, food security and diet quality as well as behavioural change theory and motivational theory, gaps were identified and three distinct research questions were posed. Systematic review, photographic food waste diary, sociodemographic survey, and qualitative interviews were selected as methods to address the research questions. Most published research examined sociodemographic variables and food waste using survey methods, or examined food waste in relation to avoidable food waste but not possibly avoidable food waste. There were also limitations in research that explored food waste in relation to diet quality and socio-demographic variables. The majority of research that was theory driven used models of behaviour change such as the Theory of Planned Behaviour, or frameworks such as the Motivation, Opportunities and Abilities framework. However, there was a lack of research exploring drivers for food waste behaviour using a motivational theory i.e., Self-Determination Theory. The research completed in this project provides evidence of what nudges are effective for household food waste behaviour change. It offers novel insights on statistically significant sociodemographic patterns of food waste by categories of avoidable and possibly avoidable food waste. Further, it demonstrates the utility of photographic data collection to identify categories of food waste in a large sample. The thesis collated primary data on the proportion of healthy (NOVA 1) food waste in total food waste in relation to categories of avoidable, unavoidable and possibly avoidable food waste. Finally, the research highlighted new insights on how to motivate and strengthen motivation for food waste reduction behaviours in households using the Self-Determination Theory. This assembly of new knowledge builds a case for household food waste interventions using a targeted approach based on sociodemographic characteristics. It also supports household food waste interventions using tailored personalised approaches to optimise motivational drivers for food waste behaviour change. Each of the three analytical papers presented contributes to further understanding of food waste in household settings to illuminate how interventions may work most effectively, and better target segments of the population. This collection of research can inform behaviour change interventions to optimise food waste behaviour for diet quality, food security, and by extension reduced greenhouse gas emissions

Book review: Hannah Arendt and political theory: challenging tradition
No full textHannah Arendt’s work has been noted for its unorthodox and eclectic style, and in this book Steve Buckler aims to show that Arendt’s unusual approach reflects a consistent and distinctive conception of, and way of doing, political theory. Through close readings of her most influential works and her less well known and posthumously published writing, Buckler argues that Arendt’s work is an important and challenging alternative to the more orthodox methods characteristic of both analytic and post-analytic political theory.

Hannah Arendt: "The Human Condition" and the single thought
No full textopenPartendo dalla biografia della filosofa Hannah Arendt e dalla sua esperienza in quanto ebrea durante la seconda guerra mondiale, verrà fatta un’analisi del processo ad Eichmann come esempio di male banale che si insinua nella società laddove manca una coscienza politica. In ultimo, riprendendo lo scopo dell’opera di Hannah Arendt “Vita Activa”, verrà descritta l’importanza di un esercizio della politica continuo e attivo per contrastare il cosiddetto pensiero unico che, secondo l’autrice stessa, ha portato al sopravvento dei totalitarismi del secolo scorso.Starting from the biography of the philosopher Hannah Arendt and her experience as a Jew during the Second World War, an analysis of the Eichmann trial will be made as an example of banal evil that insinuates itself into society where there is no political conscience. Finally, taking up the purpose of Hannah Arendt's work "The Human Condition", the importance of a continuous and active exercise of politics will be described to counter the so-called single thought that, according to the author herself, led to the prevalence of the totalitarianisms of the last century
The light of the eye : doctrine, piety and reform in the works of Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen
No full textBibliography: leaves 376-401.This thesis investigates the ways in which three eighteenth-century writers, Bishop Thomas Sherlock, Hannah More and Jane Austen embody orthodox Anglican doctrine according to their individual perceptions of the enlightening properties of Protestant Christianity. After situating them in their respective gender, literary and ecclesiastical contexts, I examine some of their key doctrines and analyse excerpts from their works. My selection of passages from Sherlock's works is fairly comprehensive, but in the case of More and Austen, where there is already a formidable body of literary criticism, it is more selective. Thus, I focus on doctrine in More's tracts, Strictures on the System of Female Education, An Essay on St Paul and most especially Coelebs in Search of a Wife and in the case of Austen, on her prayers and select passages from Sense and Sensibility and Mansfield Park. I conclude that, although diverse in their particular kind of Anglicanism (High, Evangelical and Median) and in their choice of genre, transparency or obscurity (anonymity and pseudonymity) and the various narratological strategies some of them invoke to circumvent certain taboos, Sherlock, More and Austen champion the same central orthodox doctrines, defend them against current alternatives to orthodoxy such as Latitudinarianism, Deism and various forms of Freethinking, and promote similar moral and ecclesiastical reforms. However, indirectly (through female characters who resist male representation or control) the women writers subject their ostensibly authorially-endorsed male narrators/characters to scrutiny and sometimes (when the males objectify the women) subversion
Unavoidable and potentially avoidable food waste from domestic households: preparation residues
No full text“I don’t think there’s necessarily a one size fits all” negotiating competing priorities in nurse shift scheduling: a qualitative study
No full textBackground: the nursing workforce globally faces significant challenges, including burnout, stress, and absenteeism, exacerbated by unsafe staffing levels and suboptimal working conditions. In England, many nursing staff express intentions to leave their roles, driven by work-life imbalance. This study explores how the preferences and constraints of nursing staff, nurse managers, and hospital directors interact to influence shift scheduling decisions within the NHS, aiming to identify strategies that reconcile individual wellbeing with organisational imperatives.Methods: this qualitative study employed framework analysis, guided by the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument (TKI) to understand conflict management approaches in shift scheduling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 17 nursing staff, five nurse managers, and six hospital directors across five diverse NHS Trusts in England. Interviews were conducted remotely, transcribed verbatim, and analysed to identify key themes and patterns.Results: three primary themes were identified: Balancing Choice with Consistency, Predictability, and Flexibility; Adequate Rest and Recovery Between Shifts; and Enjoyment and Engagement at Work. The study found that collaborative and compromising conflict management approaches were most effective in preventing potential conflicts from escalating into actual conflicts. Flexible and predictable scheduling was crucial for enhancing nurse wellbeing and retention, while rigid policies often led to increased turnover and reduced morale. The study also highlighted the importance of considering external constraints, such as caring responsibilities, which can limit the effectiveness of workplace solutions.Conclusions: effective nurse shift scheduling requires a blend of conflict management strategies, with an emphasis on collaborative and compromising approaches. By prioritising flexible scheduling and proactive communication, healthcare organisations can better support their nursing workforce, enhancing both individual wellbeing and organisational efficiency. These findings have significant implications for improving the sustainability and quality of healthcare service provision.<br/
