LIFE AND DEATH FANTASY IN MATT HAIG\u27S THE MIDNIGHT LIBRARY
No full textAbstract
This study discusses the fantasy of life and death desire in Matt Haig\u27s The Midnight Library (2020). The aim of this research is: To find out what fantasy of life and death desire that represent id, ego, and superego of Matt Haig in The Midnight Library. This study uses a psychoanalysis approach, which is used to analyze the fantasy of life and death desire that can representative the id, ego, and superego of Matt Haig as an author regarding to life and death desire. The result of this study show the id is dominant among the ego and superego. prominently features id symbols, indicating a profound exploration of primal desires, instincts, and the unconscious mind, particularly evident in main character\u27s arc. These id symbols, serve to unveil author\u27s innermost wishes and untamed impulses, suspending societal norms and reality\u27s constraints. Through id- driven narratives, readers witness Nora\u27s pursuit of immediate gratification, navigating alternate lives driven solely by desires, devoid of moral judgment. Additionally, ego symbols reflect author\u27s attempts to negotiate reality, while superego symbols embody societal ideals and moral judgments that conflict with author\u27s id-driven desires.

Symbolism of life and death desire in Matt Haig's The Midnight Library
No full textThis study discusses the symbolism of life and death desire in Matt Haig’s novel The Midnight Library (2020). The aim of this research is; (1) To find out what symbol of life and death desire that represent id, ego, and superego of Matt Haig in The Midnight Library (2) To find out how do the symbol of life and death desire build character development, plot, and mood in The Midnight Library. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method, which is used to analyze the symbolism of life and death desire that can representative the id, ego, and superego of Matt Haig as an author regarding to the theme, also explore how the symbolism build the character development, plot, and mood in this novel. The result of this study show the id is dominant among the ego and superego. prominently features id symbols, indicating a profound exploration of primal desires, instincts, and the unconscious mind, particularly evident in main character's arc. These id symbols, serve to unveil author's innermost wishes and untamed impulses, suspending societal norms and reality's constraints. Through id- driven narratives, readers witness Nora be the pursuit of immediate gratification, navigating alternate lives driven solely by desires, devoid of moral judgment of the author namely Matt Haig. Additionally, ego symbols reflect author's attempts to negotiate reality, while superego symbols embody societal ideals and moral judgments that conflict with author's id-driven desires. The result of this study also provide that these symbols not only shapes character development but also drives plot progression and establishes the narrative's mood, enhancing readers' emotional engagement and deepening their connection to the exploration of human nature within the story
PROSTHETIST KNOWLEDGE AND 3D PRINTING
No full textIn this paper we briefly explored the history of 3D printing in prosthetics. We provided details of our own work developing 3D printing design tools from 2014-2020 noting how claims around prosthetist experience and knowledge have been supported and/or questioned in the development of new device production techniques. We ended by arguing for deeper attention to prosthetist knowledge and experience in the design of the growing 3D printing ecosystem, seeing this focus as necessary and important to preserve and support clinical prosthetist in the production of well-fitting and appropriate devices for patients.

Beyond the digital diva: women on the World Wide Web
No full textIn the year 2000, American researchers reported that women constituted 51 percent of Internet users. This was a significant discovery, as throughout the medium's history, women were outnumbered by men as both users and builders of sites. This thesis probes not only this historical moment of change, but how women are mobilising the World Wide Web in their work, leisure and lives.
Not considered in the '51% of American women now online' headline is the lack of women engaged in Web building rather than Web shopping. In technical fields relating to the Web, women are outnumbered and marginalized, being poorly represented in computer-related college and university courses, in careers in computer science and computer programming, and also in digital policy. This thesis identifies the causes for the low number of women in these spheres. I consider the social and cultural reasons for their exclusion and explore the discourses which operate to discourage women's participation.
My original contribution to knowledge is forged as much through how this thesis is written as by the words and footnotes that graze these pages. With strong attention to methodology in Web-based research, I gather a plurality of women's voices and experiences of under-confidence, humiliation and fear. Continuing the initiatives of Dale Spender's Nattering on the Net, I research women's use of the Web in placing a voice behind the statistics. I also offer strategies for digital intervention, without easy platitudes to the 'potential' for women in the knowledge economy or through Creative Industries strategies.
The chapters of this thesis examine the contexts in which exclusionary attitudes are created and perpetuated. No technology is self-standing: we gain information about 'new' technologies from the old. I investigate representations and mediations of women's relationship to the Web in fields including the media, the workplace, fiction, the Creative Industries and educational institutions. For example, the media is complicit in causing women to doubt their technological capabilities. The images and ideologies of women in film, newspapers and magazines that present computer and Web usage are often discriminatory and derogatory. I also found in educational institutions that patriarchal attitudes privilege men, and discourage female students' interest in digital technologies. I interviewed high school and university students and found that the cultural values embedded within curricula discriminate against women. Limitations in Web-based learning were also discovered.
In discussing the cultural and social foundations for women's absence or under-confidence in technological fields, I engage with many theories from a prominent digital academic: Dale Spender. In her book Nattering on the Net: Women, Power and Cyberspace, Spender's outlook is admonitory. She believes that unless women acquire a level of technological capital equal to their male counterparts, women will continue to be marginalised as new political and social ideologies develop. She believes women's digital education must occur as soon as possible. While I welcome her arguments, I also found that Spender did not address the confluence between the analogue and the digital. She did not explore how the old media is shaping the new. While Spender's research focused on the Internet, I ponder her theses in the context of the World Wide Web.
In order to intervene in the patriarchal paradigm, to move women beyond digital shoppers and into builders of the digital world, I have created a website (included on CD-ROM) to accompany this thesis's arguments. It presents links to many sites on the Web to demonstrate how women are challenging the masculine inscriptions of digital technology. Although the website is created to interact directly with Chapter Three, its content is applicable to all parts of the thesis.
This thesis is situated between cultural studies and internet studies. This interdisciplinary dialogue has proved beneficial, allowing socio-technical research to resonate with wider political applications. The importance of intervention - and the need for change - has guided my words. Throughout the research and writing process of this thesis, organisations have released reports claiming gender equity on the Web. My task is to capture the voice, views and fears of the women behind these statistics

DESIGNING A DIGITAL TOOLCHAIN FOR PROSTHETICS: A RETROSPECTIVE
No full textFrom 2014 until 2020, I participated in the development of a novel CAD/CAM system for lower-limb prosthetic sockets for use in Lower and Middle Income Countries (LMIC) orthopaedic clinical settings. This article provides an overview of the value principles that guided that work and the ways in which we attempted to support the clinical needs of our prosthetists and others in the clinical contexts. It will highlight how the health economic framework that is key to this special issue well describes the design choices we made in order to attend to the multiple levels of concerns and stakeholders we identified as key to success.

Imitation in Writing Series, Book 1
No full textThis is an 8½ x 11 spiral-bound book of fifty pages. It presents a collection of forty reproducible fables, each with key word outline sentence prompts and space for word definitions. It is, as the inside front-cover proclaims, book one in a growing series of Imitation in Writing materials designed to teach aspiring writers the art and discipline of crafting delightful prose and poetry. What a good idea! (Others in the series include fairy tales, Greek myths, Greek heroes, and The Grammar of Poetry.) Though there are no interior illustrations, there is a fine image on the cover of two men in Elizabethan garb, both with slate and chalk and apparently copying from each other and/or arguing. The author lays out a thirteen-step method to follow in getting students to imitate good writing (5-6). The texts used are traditional and sound somewhat archaic. To my surprise, the two I have been able to track down (The Gnat and the Lion and The Two Frogs) come from Frederick Burr Opper in 1917.Second editionMatt Whitlin
Notodascillus Carter
No full textNotodascillus Carter Notodascillus Carter, 1935: 186, Type species, original designation: Dascillus brevicornis Macleay, 1872. Diagnosis. The members of this genus are easily distinguished from all similar Australian beetles by a combination of their long and serrate antennae (Figs. 26–28), 5 -segmented tarsi bearing divided membranous lobes, hind coxae with coxal plates, and large, exposed pro- and mesotrochantins (Figs. 20–22). Notodascillus differs from Dascillus cervinus (Linnaeus), the type species of Dascillus, in having a distinctly crenulate posterior margin of pronotum (Figs. 8, 11), a very long ovipositor (Fig. 29) and male genitalia with the phallobase of the tegmen about as long as or only slightly shorter than the parameres (Figs. 32 –34, 39–41, 46– 48). In D. cervinus the posterior pronotal margin is smooth, the ovipositor strongly reduced and without baculi, and the parameres distinctly longer than the basal piece of the aedeagus. The remainder of species currently placed in Dascillus and other genera exhibit a wide array of character states, but none have the combination given above for Notodascillus. Description. Length 6–14 mm, females usually larger than males. Body elongate, about 2.4–2.9 times as long as wide, weakly convex; brown or dark brown, upper surfaces matt, densely clothed with short decumbent setae. Head (Figs. 1–3) subquadrate, slightly declined. Eyes large, entire, finely facetted, moderately protuberant and transversely oval in cross-section. Antennal insertions exposed, widely separated, not borne on raised tubercles. Subantennal grooves absent. Frontoclypeal suture distinctly impressed, straight; clypeus short, truncate anteriorly. Gular sutures incomplete anteriorly, widely separated; corpotentorium laminate, broad, anterior arms narrowly separated at base, not expanded mesally. Cervical sclerites well-developed. Labrum visible, free, slightly transverse, trapezoidal; distinctly sclerotised and setose at base, membranous anteriorly. Antenna (Figs. 26–28) 11 -segmented, antennomeres serrate beginning on antennomere 3 (weakly serrate in female), in males reaching posteriorly to middle of elytra, in female usually shorter, reaching posterior margin of pronotum; scape robust, about 1.6–1.8 times as long as pedicel; terminal antennomere rounded at apex and distinctly longer than penultimate. Mandible (Fig. 6) short and broad, strongly and abruptly curved mesally, without deciduous apical cusps, unidentate apically, external surface setose; incisor edge with two or rarely single tooth; mola and prostheca absent. Maxillary (Fig. 4) lobes well developed; apex of galea densely pubescent and bilobed; lacinia without hooks or teeth; apical maxillary palpomere fusiform or parallel-sided and truncate apically. Apical labial palpomere (Fig. 5) fusiform; mentum trapezoidal, emarginate anteriorly; ligula membranous, deeply bilobed and longer than palpomere 1. Prothorax (Figs. 8, 11) trapezoidal, transverse, about 0.5–0.7 times as long as wide; sides straight or weakly arcuate; lateral carinae complete, simple with narrow margin but without distinct bead; anterior angles obtuse, posterior angles blunt or weakly acute; posterior edge tri-emarginate and finely crenulate; disc moderately convex, coarsely and densely punctate. Prosternum (Figs. 9, 12) in front of coxa as long as longitudinal mid-coxal diameter; prosternal process entirely separating procoxae, slightly elevated, very narrow and pointed apically. Notosternal suture complete. Procoxae strongly projecting below prosternum. Procoxal cavities strongly transverse, narrowly separated and broadly open externally and internally; protrochantin exposed. Scutellar shield (Fig. 13) distinctly elevated, simple anteriorly, rounded posteriorly; densely setose. Elytra taken together 1.8–2.4 times as long as wide and 3.8–5.2 times as long as pronotum; weakly convex, relatively straight and gradually narrowing in apical third; apices weakly prominent; lateral margins narrow with distinct bead, entirely visible from above; elytral punctures very fine, in 12 rows; scutellary striole absent; elytral intervals flat; alternate intervals often with denser setae forming whitish longitudinal lines; epipleuron complete. Mesoventrite (Fig. 10) broad anteriorly, separated from mesepisterna by complete sutures; anterior edge medially on the same plane as metaventrite, forming triangular projection laterally bordered by declined and oblique procoxal rests. Mesoventral process very narrow and divided, extending at least to middle of mesocoxal cavity; meso-metaventral junction monocondylic. Mesocoxal cavities separated by 0.2–0.3 coxal diameter; open laterally, closed by mesepimeron. Mesocoxae not projecting, mesotrochantin exposed. Metaventrite (Fig. 10) as long as wide, moderately convex; discrimen incomplete anteriorly; transverse, katepisternal suture complete; exposed portion of metanepisternum long and broad; metepimeron exposed. Metacoxae contiguous, extending laterally to meet elytra; metacoxal plates well developed. Hind wing (Fig. 7) about 2.0– 2.4 times as long as wide; radial cell 1.8–2.2 times as long as wide, not forming equilateral triangle, pigmented, inner posterior angle right or obtuse; cross-vein r 3 very short and longitudinally oriented; apical field about 0.20–0.35 times total wing length with pigment patches around apical folds and r 4, plus RP vein remnants; medial field with five free veins and MP 3 often detached at base; wedge cell well-developed, apically acute; anal lobe well-developed, anal notch absent; AP divided, with posterior branch meeting basal wing margin.
