Fargeendring i umalte trefasader - erfaringer og eksempler
No full textEn umalt trefasade forteller en historie – om bygningen den er en del av og om stedet der bygningen står. Sol og regn, temperatur og vind varierer med breddegrad, klimasone, landskap og vegetasjon, og vil påvirke fasaden over tid. I tidligere tider fortalte materialvalget i bygninger om lokal ressurstilgang, lokale byggetradisjoner og byggeskikk. Bygningskultur og arkitektoniske grep legger føringer for bygningens orientering og valg av kledning, takutstikk og vindusdetaljer. De bestemmer hvordan sol, regn og soppvekst påvirker ytterveggen. Summen av påvirkning avleses i fargenyansene i den umalte trefasaden. Kunnskap om dette samspillet mellom faktorer kan omsettes i design som samtidig blir dreieboken for den fremtidige bygningens fortelling om dem som bygget og brukte den og om stedet der den står...publishedVersio

Note that participants wear the bib throughout all blocks, regardless of start order or current task, and that all grasps are completed using only the index finger and thumb.

Evidence for right-handed feeding biases in a left-handed population
No full textSherpa Romeo green journal. Permission to archive accepted author manuscript.We have recently shown that actions with similar kinematic requirements but different end-state goals may be supported by distinct neural networks. Specifically, we demonstrated that when right-handed individuals reach-to-grasp food items with intent to eat, they produce smaller maximum grip apertures (MGAs) than when they grasp the same item with intent to place it in a location near the mouth. This effect was restricted to right-handed movements; left-handed movements showed no difference between tasks. The current study investigates whether (and to which side) the effect may be lateralized in left-handed individuals. Twenty-one self-identified left-handed participants grasped food items of three different sizes while grasp kinematics were captured via an Optotrak Certus motion capture array. A main effect of task was identified wherein the grasp-to-eat action generated significantly smaller MGAs than did the grasp-to-place action. Further analysis revealed that similar to the findings in right-handed individuals, this effect was significant only during right-handed movements. Upon further inspection however, we found individual differences in the magnitude and direction of the observed lateralization. These results underscore the evolutionary significance of the grasp-to-eat movement in producing population-level right-handedness in humans as well as highlighting the heterogeneity of the left-handed population.Ye
On action intent : behavioural correlates of reach-to-grasp actions
No full textEvidence from electrophysiology suggests that non-human primates produce reach-to-grasp movements based on their functional end-goal rather than on the biomechanical requirements of the movement. However, the invasiveness of direct-electrical stimulation and single-neuron recording studies have precluded analogous investigations in humans. In this thesis, I present behavioural evidence in the form of kinematic analyses suggesting that the cortical circuits responsible for reach-to-grasp actions in humans are organized in a similar fashion. Grasp-to-eat movements are produced with significantly smaller and more precise maximum grip apertures (MGAs) than are grasp-to-place movements directed toward the same objects, despite near identical mechanical requirements of the two subsequent (i.e., -eat and –place) movements. Furthermore, the fact that this distinction is limited to right-handed movements suggests that the system governing reach-to-grasp movements is asymmetric. I posit that this asymmetry may be responsible, at least in part, for the preponderance of right-hand dominance among the global population
Ecclesiology in the Church of England: an historical and theological examination of the role of ecclesiology in the church of England since the second world war
No full textFrom a 'postliberal' perspective I argue that there is no means by which divine truth can incontrovertibly be known or directly understood and communicated. However a communitarian and historicist approach locates the experience and the expression of the engagement with God in the community of the church. The central problematic of ecclesiology is the discerrunent of authentic continuity with Jesus Christ in the context of churches which are divided, sinful, limited, and variously ordered. I have examined one strand of Anglo-Catholic ecclesiology as a case study of an attempt to assert a particular ecclesiology as true for the whole church. Second, 1 have traced the steps by which the Church of England gained legal authority over its central concerns of worship, doctrine and self-government, in order to sift out ecclesiological ideas implicit in its decision making. In these two chapters my focus has been to articulate an account of the idea of how God has been and should be made manifest in the structures and ordering of the Church of England. Third, I have evaluated the way ecclesiology has been deliberately used as an element of the legitimation of change in the church in particular in the Turnbull report. From these sources I have tried to extrapolate an overview of the actual role ecclesiology has played in the contemporary Church of England. I predict that ecclesiology will grow more significant in the Church of England, and that this will be beneficial, but to do so optimally it requires reinforcement with a stronger critical apparatus. I conclude that the determination of authentic continuity with Jesus Christ will not be found in the articulation and application of prepositional divine truths, but in creative and dynamic engagement with God expressed and embodied in the community of the Church
