KK-theory, gauge theory and topological phases
No full textThe history of science is full of moments when physics and mathematics both benefited
from mutual interaction, with the early twentieth century providing us with two big examples. On one hand, Einstein’s theory of gravitation could not have been developed without
the work of Riemann on the geometry of manifolds. On the other hand, the advent of
quantum mechanics fostered the development of new mathematics especially in operator
algebras. In line with this spirit of interdisciplinarity, the school and workshop ‘KK-theory,
Gauge Theory and Topological Phases’ took place from 27 February to 10 March 2017 at
the Lorentz Center in Leiden. Francesca Arici and Domenico Monaco report about this event
Fortissat Science Alliance podcast: Francesca Fotheringham
No full textFrancesca Fotheringham was a PhD student studying psychology at the University of St Andrews. She took part in the Fortissat Science Alliance podcast recordings in March 2021.What is the Fortissat Science Alliance?The Fortissat Science Alliance is a Wellcome Trust & Children In Need "Curiosity" project. This scheme provided informal STEM learning opportunities for young people who attended the community centre Getting Better Together Shotts (GBT Shotts) between 2019 and 2023. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, deliveries had to pivot online so the podcast was founded. These recordings were made via Zoom with warm-up STEM activities sent to every young person in advance, along with a profile page for each researcher, so that they were relaxed and able to ask excellent questions.Link to episode on Spotify.Depending on the broadcast date, podcast deliveries were co-sponsored by Glasgow Science Festival, EXPLORATHON 2021, or EXPLORATHON 2022/23.For the duration of the project, it was supported jointly by Children in Need and the Wellcome Trust. In 2021, EXPLORATHON episodes were supported by the European Commission [grant agreement ID 101036101]. In 2022-23, EXPLORATHON episodes were supported by the Engineering & Physical Sciences Research Council [grant number EP/X020894/1].Author contributions to contentFrancesca Fotheringham was the guest featured on this episode. Rebecca Hay was the youth worker coordinating the young people who conducted the interviews as well as co-editing and broadcasting the recordings. Iain Hamilton co-edited the episodes. Kirsty Ross was the STEM consultant for the project and uploaded completed episodes to Figshare.</p
Investigating zero-derivation in a VetMed/BioTech English corpus
No full textZero-Derivation, more commonly known as conversion, has been defined by many scholars (Bauer 1983; Pyles and Algeo 1993; Štekauer and Lieber 2005) as a word-formation process by which a word, belonging to one word-class, is transferred to another word-class without any concomitant change of form. It is a highly prolific mechanism for the production of new words, since there is no restriction on the form that can undergo conversion in English.
Our paper deals with a corpus of factsheets created ad hoc over three academic years for teaching purposes in the domain-specific sectors of English for Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology, where zero-derivation, as well as its sub-type, functional shift, commonly occur. In fact, it is not unusual in such texts to deal with terms which, from both a morphosyntactic and a lexical point of view, may seem transparent and lead to a predicted meaning; on the contrary, they represent large pitfalls at first sight. Among the many examples we have catalogued over time, we have decided to focus on some of the most peculiar occurrences, under a quali-quantitative perspective – the latter being processed via WordSmith Tools.
In addition to classical words that go through zero-derivation in General English as well, such as head / to head, to fly / a fly, to cut / a cut, to call / a call, better / to better, wrong / to wrong, mastering knowledge of word-classes is undoubtedly necessary in VetMed/Biotech domains in order to recognize that, in sentences like: (1) “Noncultivable, apparently nonpathogenic, isolates have also been detected in wild salmonids.” (source: CFSPH, “Infectious Salmon Anemia”, March 2010), isolates acts as a noun, and not as a verb; (2) “An influenza pandemic occurs when a new influenza virus emerges and spreads around the world, and most people do not have immunity.” (source: WHO, “What is a pandemic?”, February 2010), pandemic is a noun, and not an adjective; (3) “The first human vaccines against viruses were based using weaker or attenuated viruses to generate immunity.” (source: www.historyofvaccines.org), human is not an adjective, but a noun; and so on. A section of this paper shall be devoted to investigating functional shift – i.e., that sub-process underlying, for example, the increasingly widespread use of the term bacteria as a collective noun rather than as the plural form of bacterium [e.g.: “Essentially, a bacteria or virus simply won’t have enough eligible hosts to establish a foothold and will eventually die out entirely.” (source: http://www.publichealth.org)].
This paper aims at proving that, even in the scientific languages of Veterinary Medicine and Biotechnology, English implements word-formation mechanisms, thus resulting in creative transformations in morphology, syntax and meaning – most interestingly when such features intertwine with figurative language devices such as metaphors and metonymies, as well as the lexical issue of false friends in translating between English and Italian and vice-versa
Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Exploring customer trust and relationships in the online environment
No full textThis thesis presents eleven selected publications concerning trust and relationships in the online environment. The evolution of the research over ten years showcases the author’s dedication to the practical application of marketing for the benefit of organisations and individuals alongside contribution to academic knowledge.
The advent of new technology by way of the internet has added a new dimension to the complexity of marketing strategy and, from a practical point of view, marketers need to incorporate cutting edge technology into their strategic thinking. Existing literature at the time that the author started this research was at the nascent stage and over the period of the research, it became obvious that technology could be used as a tool to help build relationships. Conversely, customers demonstrated varying degrees of trust in both the technologies and the organisations using online-based tools. It became essential, therefore, for organisations to appear trustworthy in order for customers to engage with online marketing platforms and subsequently entrust their purchasing activities to the online environment.
The research appraised in this thesis makes a significant contribution to knowledge about marketing in the online environment and the implications of engendering consumer trust. Six key contributions to knowledge are claimed as a result of this work. Firstly, a framework for using online marketing strategically has been developed. Secondly, an analysis of how online marketing fits into the traditional marketing framework is provided. Thirdly, the author introduces the notion that trust in a brand influences online behaviour by reducing perceived risk, leading to consumers committing to online purchasing. Fourthly, online brand elements used to create credibility of a B2B brand are identified. Fifthly, the author presents an identification of how structural elements of websites can be utilized to differentiate online brands from competitors’ offerings. Finally, the author puts forward the proposition that marketers can learn from relatiaonships between contributors to online social networks.
The researcher has utilised a variety of deliberately chosen methodologies, most of which are qualitative. The thesis also contains three secondary contributions related to research design. These are the use of a bought-in, permission-based email list, the innovative use of netnography to elicit rich data from online discussion forums and, finally, content analysis of websites. The work concludes by offering eight recommendations for future research directions
