Boundless Venus: the Crossover of the Conscious and Unconscious in the Works of Haruki Murakami
No full textThe objective of this thesis, Boundless Venus, is to examine consciousness in the
works of the contemporary Japanese writer Haruki Murakami. Principally the
discussion concerns itself with the unconscious, its conduits, its benefits upon the
conscious; which lead to the transformation of the self and structure of the literature.
Although the subject has been touched upon before, the conscious and unconscious
have previously been examined as exclusive concepts in Murakami. This research
will be looking at the recent change in the ‘crossover’ between these concepts,
which makes the concepts no longer two mutually exclusive concepts but ‘inclusive
concepts’. This is vital to understanding Murakami’s more recent works and the
nature of his influence on literature.
Boundless Venus explores the entire works of Haruki Murakami, principally his
most recent novel 1Q84 (2011) and his novels Hard-Boiled Wonderland and the
End of the World (1991) and The Wind-up Bird Chronicle (1997). It approaches the
work from a psychoanalytic and critical point of view and focuses on significant
narrative techniques, character development, and themes such as sex, music, and
dreams, used by Murakami to explore the relationship between the conscious and
unconscious and to narrate the crossover between the two
Freya organisation
No full textTITLE: Freya organisation AUTHOR: Rosolová Tereza DEPARTMENT: Department of Special Pedagogy SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Monika Mužáková, PhD. ABSTRACT: This these sis discussing the topic of sexuality of disadvantaged individuals and relevant sexual assistance. Primarily It focuses on examining of the Freya organisation, which provides education, consultations and other supporting services in the field of sexuality of disadvantaged and older individuals. The first part of the theoretical part focuses on sexuality, sexuality of disabled individuals and the terminology and the origin of sexual asistance in the Czech republic and other countries. Also compares sexual assistance systems in selected European countries. The second chapter is examining the Freya organisation. In particular characteristics, history, goals, principles and specific services. In particular Its characteristics, in depth history, which is supproted by comparisons of sexual asistance systems in other selected Europe countries, their goals, principals and services. The practical part will be delivered by structed interview with the use of qualitative research. The goal of practical part was to examine differences or alikeness in the sexual assitance services in Freya organisation from the first beginnings and today from the point of view of..

Crystallisation of metamorphic garnet: mechanisms and rates from the inverted Barrovian sequence in the Sikkim Himalaya
No full textThe compositional zonation, three-dimensional spatial distribution, and morphologies of a metamorphic garnet population represent an integrated record of the population's nucleation and growth history over changing metamorphic conditions. While previous inferences drawn from such datasets have proven diverse, their continued collection is key to better understanding the mechanisms and processes that control porphyroblast crystallisation, rates of intergranular element transfer, and the extent to which chemical equilibrium persists across a rock volume during metamorphism. This thesis utilises such datasets from the inverted Barrovian metamorphic sequence in the Sikkim Himalaya, India, where the record of recent orogenesis provides an ideal natural laboratory in which fundamental rock-forming processes can be investigated.Compositional analyses of a representative population of garnet porphyroblasts from a garnet-grade metapelite indicate a strong correlation between garnet crystal size and composition with respect to both major end-member and trace element components. Numerical simulation of progressive nucleation and growth using an equilibrium approach and multicomponent diffusion reproduces the sizes and major element zoning of the entire garnet population along a rapid heating trajectory (>100 C/Myr). Given the correspondingly rapid rates of garnet growth (~1.4 mm/My) and negligible departure from equilibrium, major element transport is inferred to have been non-limiting, with growth rates controlled by interfacial processes.In contrast, trace element zoning in the same population is indicative of persistent disequilibrium with respect to rare-earth elements, yttrium and chromium. Oscillatory zoning may reflect incorporation of chemical heterogeneities and minor fluctuations in the garnet growth rate not resolvable in major element zoning, and annuli are not demonstrably relatable to some rock-wide event. Elements that do not equilibrate across garnet surfaces document continuous spiral zoning, which permits estimation of syn-crystallisation strain-rates, on the order of 10^-11-10^-12 /s.Microstructural data from across the Barrovian sequence reveal garnet populations that are partially characterised by their grade, with changing crystal size and abundance interpreted to reflect the combined effects of bulk chemical variations and ripening with increasing pressures and temperatures. Deviations from this trend reflect populations in which garnet crystallisation was controlled by a highly heterogeneous spatial distribution of nucleation sites and transport-limited growth
Photographie et récit de voyage : regards pluriels sur les voyages de Freya Stark en Orient
No full textThis work analyses one of Freya Stark‘s first travel book, The Valleys of the Assassins, and studies at the same time a few of the photographs she took during her travels in Orient. This paper studies the influence of western culture and in particular of orientalism and colonialism over the way the author adresses the Orient and travel in general. It considers the text in details in order to draw conclusions from it about th way Freya Stark communicates her experiences in both the text and the photographs. This study aims to problematize the idea of « gaze » or gazes which are those we have on travel in general and those conveyed by the text and the photographs.Ce mémoire traite d‘un des premiers récits de voyage de Freya Stark, The Valleys of the Assassins, et étudie aussi un certain nombre de photographies prisent par l‘auteur durant ses voyages. Il étudie l‘influence de la culture occidentale et en particulier de l‘orientalisme et du colonialisme sur la façon dont l‘auteure aborde l‘Orient et plus largement le voyage. Ce mémoire étudie de manière détaillé le texte afin d‘en tirer des conclusions sur la façon dont la voyageuse aborde l‘Autre et l‘Ailleurs dans ses voyages et la façon dont elle transmet son expérience à travers le texte, puis la photographie. Cette étude a pour problématique centrale la question du regard, ou plutôt des regards, qui sont ceux que nous posons sur le voyage, et ceux que l‘auteure nous transmet par le récit et la photographie

First year Western Sydney University medical student perceptions and readiness for physical activity counselling
No full text<p>This dataset comprises responses from a brief survey on levels and perceptions of physical activity, and attitudes and preparedness for physical activity counselling. A total of 78 first year medical students completed the survey in July 2016 during a problem-based learning (PBL) tutorial, a compulsory unit for all medical students.</p><p>The 25 question survey included demographic questions (age and sex), short answer questions relating to the individual’s own physical activity habits and Likert scale questions, where students rated their agreement with a number of statements related to physical activity behaviours, perceptions, and purpose. Participants also responded to Likert scale questions relating to their confidence and preparedness for counselling. This survey, which formed part of a larger study examining stress and physical activity levels in university students, was approved by the Western Sydney University Human Research Ethics Committee (approval number H10384).</p>
