Spectrums of investment in Doctor Who fandom
No full textThis thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Drawing upon a significant weight of empirical data, collected in the field, this thesis proposes a set of four spectrums of investment engaged in by cult media fans: the spectrum of financial investment; the spectrum of what is here termed 'participatory investment'; the spectrum of investment in the idea of textual authenticity; and the spectrum of multiple investments. The spectrum model allows the individual members of the research sample to be located within specific regions of each spectrum and correlations to be drawn between the distinct spectrums, in order for any patterns which emerge to be examined. The thesis also reviews a number of relevant theoretical concerns such as fan studies, ethnography and social psychology

Doctor-patient communication and the consulting room use of computers in general practice.
Get PDFThis thesis examines the effects of general practitioners' use of a computer during consultations, on doctor-patlent communication and the delivery of care. The IBM Sheffield Primary Care System was used by GPs during routine consultations for the review and update of patients' records. The system also provided an interactive protocol for the management of patients with chronic hypertension. Video recordings were made of over 800 consultations with and without use of the computer. These were used to identify a comprehensive and reliable set of measures of doctor-patient communication. With medical collaboration measures of the standard of delivery of care were also developed. The measures were then used to investigate the effects of computer use. When used for the review and update of records the computer had little effect on doctor-patient communication. Doctors showed more solidarity with patients (e. g. by offering supportive comments), but there was no effect on the amount of information and advice offered or questions asked by either doctor or patient. However, overall, there was a slight impairment of the doctor's interpersonal manner and delivery of care. When the computer was used in direct support of clinical decision-making (i. e. through the hypertension management protocol) there was a marked improvement in the doctors’ clinical performance in terms of the number of relevant verbal and physical examinations conducted and recorded. The findings suggest ways in which future systems should be designed and used to avoid possible adverse consequences for doctor-patient communications. A research framework, including new methodologies, is also offered for the evaluation of future consulting room systems. Similar evaluative studies need to be performed on the more sophisticated systems now available, especially the clinically oriented ones which offer most potential

'Conditions of time and space': a re-enactment experiment with the British TV series Doctor Who.
No full textThe aim of this thesis is to provide a contribution to knowledge in two areas. Firstly, it seeks to further our understanding of the historical conditions of British television drama production; in particular the constraining and liberating influences of production space on the role of the director, and their decision-making process to bring
script to screen. Secondly, the work develops the concept of re-enactment as a practice-based augmentation for archive-based textual reconstruction. As such, the thesis offers deeper discussions on the human context missing from current historiographic approaches to broadcast research.
The thesis develops a re-enactment methodology that, via practical realisation, allows researchers to gain insight into the production dynamics of a particular era in history to learn about ‘in the moment’ directing decision-making. This is applied to a practice based experiment that includes creating a simulation of 1960s production conditions in order to explore the following research question: how would the decision-making process of producing contemporary television drama be affected by the conditions of 1960s production space? I argue that contemporary location-based production is as constraining as the studio it purports to rise above, yet without the same possibilities for creative reaction to counteract the limitations that historical conditions allowed.
As a flagship BBC series reflecting contemporary industry practice, Doctor Who is used as the vehicle for analysis. The experiment focuses on a historical re-enactment
of a 2006 episode of Doctor Who, “Tooth and Claw”, written by series executive producer Russell T Davies. The re-enacted audio-visual text is provided on DVD along with artefacts that encapsulate the process of production, informing analysis and reflection
