For and against; should doctors advise young people to abstain from sex?
No full textAgainst a background of high rates of teenage pregnancy and an increasing prevalence of sexually transmitted infections, the sexual conduct of young people is vigorously debated. Many teenagers later say that they had sexual intercourse "too early" but should doctors be advising young people to abstain from sex? Trevor Stammers, who is a tutor in general practice and an author and broadcaster on sexual health, and Roger Ingham, who has done research on sexual conduct and sex education in Britain and other countries, consider whether advising abstinence is an effective response to declining teenage sexual health

From dadaism to free jazz: the cultural developments of a new aesthetic
No full textWhat does it mean for something to be called “avant-garde”? The ambiguity of such a label fails to define the works of which it is typically applied. It’s more relevant to think of the term as an on-going process that explores new artistic possibilities. This thesis will look at some factors that helped propel such a process into motion and the shared aesthetics that came as a result. An avant-garde process began in the early 20th century as individuals and groups sought out a divergent worldview that began to question the rapidly developing Western worldview dominated by science and its frameworks. By looking at the works and statements of key individuals of the time such as the surrealist André Breton, psychologist Carl Gustav Jung and poet Charles Olson, one gets a clearer picture of the many factors that fueled this divergence. The most notable being World War I with its atrocities and globalized horrors, the splintering of social groups between capitalism and communism and increased secularization. In cataloguing the connections between both political and artistic groups it becomes clear how the collective skepticism and questioning of the then dominant worldview led to the eventual creation of an altogether new worldview centered around concepts and ideas not available in old. The development of jazz is seen within this light as a uniquely culturally positioned art form. From more traditional jazz styles to more experimental, jazz is looked at as following a parallel trajectory into a moment of avant-garde synthesis. In looking at the early development of progressive jazz musicians Ornette Coleman, Cecil Taylor and John Coltrane, this thesis aims to cement the 1950s as a hotbed in which an avant-garde aesthetic converged, ultimately resulting in music of the likes of free jazz and beyond.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Trevor E.

On the Black Industrialism of Trevor Mathison of Black Audio Film Collective: A Lecture by Kodwo Eshun
No full textIn conversation with Kobena Mercer in 2016, John Akomfrah and Trevor Mathison of Black Audio Film Collective characterised the Collective’s 1982 slide tape work Expeditions: Signs of Empire and Images of Nationality in terms of ‘a sonic back- drop which one could only call “black industrial’. To pursue the notion of a black industrial aesthetic is to rethink the constitution of black audio from within the Collective’s recursive formulation of the becoming of black audio film collectivity

Library projects using agile or traditional project management: Less stress and more success
No full textPresented online at the Access Library Technology Conference (Canada) ; October 22, 2020.
Got a big project but aren’t sure how to start (or just started and have stalled out)? Proposing a project and getting it to the finish line are very different. Trevor presented a session that discussed differences between agile and traditional project management and how they can help or hinder your project. Different software tools for handling the planning and day-to-day work were presented. The session also covered, how to schedule and figure out timelines, how to communicate with staff, patrons, or VPs. This is a general overview of Project Management and how you can prepare your library for the next challenge
Self-representation : developing self-concepts through the conceptualization of self-portraiture
No full textThe aim of this study was to present a psychosocial analysis of self-representation in order to form a framework for describing the process of self-concepts development through the conceptualization of self-portraiture. Based on this framework, a self-portrait series titled Introspective Instability was developed. This artwork was included in the Atomic Jungle 2020 exhibition, through a virtual gallery in April 2020.
The self-portraitures Propped by Jenny Saville, and Self by Marc Quinn were analyzed, and a variety of articles and literature on relevant topics on contemporary art and psychological philosophies was consulted. It was found out that the efficacy of conceptualizing self-portraitures, to describe the personalities of the artists as they desire to be recognized, required components related to self-concepts to be analyzed and categorized against the social, cultural context of the artist.
Based on feedback on Introspective Instability, at the end of the project to ascertain if the goals of the project are effectively met, it appears that the themes from the artwork were mostly well-received as intended by the author
Approximate Correspondences in High Dimensions
No full textPyramid intersection is an efficient method for computing an approximate partial matching between two sets of feature vectors. We introduce a novel pyramid embedding based on a hierarchy of non-uniformly shaped bins that takes advantage of the underlying structure of the feature space and remains accurate even for sets with high-dimensional feature vectors. The matching similarity is computed in linear time and forms a Mercer kernel. We also show how the matching itself (a correspondence field) may be extracted for a small increase in computational cost. Whereas previous matching approximation algorithms suffer from distortion factors that increase linearly with the feature dimension, we demonstrate thatour approach can maintain constant accuracy even as the feature dimension increases. When used as a kernel in a discriminative classifier, our approach achieves improved object recognition results over a state-of-the-art set kernel
