Ayesha Hameed is a Lecturer in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths, University of London in London, UK. Since 2014 Hameed’s multi-chapter project 'Black Atlantis' has looked at the Black Atlantic and its afterlives in contemporary illegalized migration at sea, in oceanic environments, through Afrofuturistic dancefloors and soundsystems and in outer space. Through videos, audio essays and performance lectures, she examines how to think through sound, image, water, violence and history as elements of an active archive; and time travel as an historical method. Recent exhibitions include Liverpool Biennale (2021), Gothenburg Biennale (2019), Lubumbashi Biennale (2019) and Dakar Biennale (2018). She is co-editor of Futures and Fictions (Repeater 2017) and co-author of Visual Cultures as Time Travel(Sternberg/MIT forthcoming 2021). She is currently Co-Programme Leader of the PhD in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths University of London
Ayesha Unbound: The Construction of Female Power through Male Narrative in H. Rider Haggard’s She
No full textThis study focuses on the figure of Ayesha, the immortal Queen of Henry Ridder Haggard’s She: A History of Adventure, to configure her authority as an echo of the New Woman, the proto-feminist figure of the early twentieth century. Such relation is partlyharmed, however, by the fact that she was conceived by a male author and presented through a male narrator. In that regard, the text analyses how Holly, the narrator, is torn between utter devotion and fear, leading him to vainly attempt to omit Ayesha and other female figures from the narrative. Within this tension, the present work discusses the figure of Ayesha also in relation to nineteenth-century tropes and female stock characters. As a conclusion, we will be able to see how significant is to analyse female characters from a great variety of sources, not only from women’s writings
Ayesha Dean’s Bravery In Seville: Fearless as a Path to Maturity
No full textThis research analyzes the psychoanalytic characterization that focuses on the decisions made by Ayesha Dean when handling cases in Melati Lum's novel Ayesha Dean and the Seville Secret (2019). This study uses a descriptive qualitative method and applies Sigmund Freud's psychoanalysis theory (1923), which covers the id, ego, and superego. This study finds how Ayesha Dean copes and makes quick decisions while navigating as a detective handling a major case. This research highlights three main points, namely the unconscious desire (id), rational actions (ego), and how morality and conscience work (superego). The author concludes that the actions taken by the main character cannot be separated from the role of the people around her and her strong faith in God. Ayesha's intelligence and courage support how her character is developed through each case she solves. The author hopes that future research will provide a more in-depth analysis and explore more about the character of Muslim girls who have extraordinary abilities in solving these criminal cases
Green synthesized ZnO-Fe2O3-Co3O4 nanocomposite for antioxidant, microbial disinfection and degradation of pollutants from wastewater.
No full textMicrobial resistance, industrial and agricultural wastes are the major concerning problems of today’s world. Herein is a highly efficient incubated ZnO–Fe2O3–Co3O4 nanocomposite derived from Cordia myxa through a green chemistry approach. UV–visible spectroscopy (UV–Vis) was confirmed the peak on 508 and 387 with the
energy bandgap of 2.2eV for I-NC. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) revealed the diffraction pattern of incubated nanocomposites (I-NC) that ZnO showed hexagonal, while Co3O4 and Fe2O3 showed cubic structure. SEM analyses show the patterns comprising the crystal morphology of flower-ZnO, agglomerated Fe2O3 spongy rhombohedral Co3O4. The results of antibacterial activity show that the I-NC have a greater value of zone of inhibition (ZOI) against bacterial strains than NC, with the highest percentage in this trend P-aeruginosa94%>Saureus91%>K-pneumonia89%>E-coli87%>P-vulgaris81%. The photocatalytic activity data showed that the Methylene Blue, Methyl Orange, Rhodamine-B, P-Nitroaniline, and Cresol Red dyes were degraded in the presence of INC catalysts after sunlight irradiation. The degradation efficiencies of I-NC show the trend Methylene Blue (99.98%) > P-Nitroaniline (99.97%) > Rhodamine-B (99.86%) > Cresol Red (99.80%) > Methyl Orange (99.6%). This study reported that the use of the Cordia myxa for the formulation of incubated nanocomposite could be employed as a novel antibacterial agent to inhibit bacterial growth and biofilm formation and photocatalytic agent
Analyzing student learning trajectories in an introductory programming MOOC
No full textThis electronic version was submitted by the student author. The certified thesis is available in the Institute Archives and Special Collections.Thesis: M. Eng., Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2019Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis.Includes bibliographical references (pages 73-75).Understanding student learning and behavior in Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) can help us make online learning more beneficial for students. We investigate student learning trajectories on the individual problem level in an MITx MOOC teaching introductory programming in Python, considering simple features of the student and problem as well as more complex keyword occurrence trajectory features associated with student code submissions. Since code is so problem-specific, we develop gold standard solutions for comparison. Anecdotal observations on individual student trajectories reveal distinct behaviors which may correlate with prior experience level. We build models to correlate these trajectories with student characteristics and behaviors of interest, specifically prior experience level and video engagement. Generative modeling allows us to probe the space of submitted solutions and trajectories and explore these correlations.by Ayesha R. Bajwa.M. Eng.M.Eng.
