The construction of Karen Karnak: The multi-author-function
No full textThis thesis is situated within the comparatively recent developments of Web 2.0 and the emergence of interactive WikiMedia, and explores the mode of authorship within a Read/Write culture compared to that of a Read/Only tradition. The hypothesis of this study is that the role of the audience has become merged with the author, and as such, represents new functions and attributes, distinct from a more conventional concept of authorship, in which the roles of audience and author are more separate. Read/Write and participatory culture, as defined by this study, is focused on collaboration, and includes the influences of D.I.Y. culture, Open-Source practices and the production of text by multiple authors. Multi-authorship presents a re-thinking of several concepts which support the notion of the individual author, since the focus of multi-authorship is not on attribution and ownership of a finished text, but on the continued malleability of a text. Modes of multi-authorship, demonstrated in the use of the pseudonyms Alan Smithee and Karen Eliot, represent declarative authors whose names signify multiple origins, whilst concurrently indicating a distinct body of work. The function of these names form an important context to this study, since primary research involves the construction of an experimental mode of multi-authorship utilising WikiMedia technology and the interaction of thirty nine participants, who are invited to create a body of work under the collective pseudonym Karen Karnak. The data generated by this experiment is analysed using aspects of Michel Foucault's author-function to identify and determine power structures inherent in the WikiMedia context. The interplay of power structures, including concepts such as identity, ownership and the body of work, affect the resulting mode of authorship and contribute to the construction of Karen Karnak, suggesting further areas of research into the emerging multi-author

Language Change and SA-OT: The case of sentential negation
No full textSimulated Annealing for Optimality Theory (SA-OT) updates Optimality Theory by adding a model of performance to a theory of linguistic competence. Our aim is to show that SA-OT can contribute to language change simulations. Performance "errors" are considered to be one of the causes of variation and change. We have chosen to model the evolution of sentential negation (SN). The descriptive background adopts Jespersen's Cycle, according to which the evolution of sentential negation follows three main stages (1. pre-verbal, 2. discontinuous, and 3. post-verbal). Therefore, we advance a novel model for SN, based on SA-OT. It reproduces the three pure and the two observed mixed stages, whereas it correctly predicts the lack of an intermediate stage between 3 and 1. The success of the approach corroborates the computational, performance-based approach to the data. Finally, we employ the iterated learning paradigm to reproduce historical changes in a "simulated corpus study". This enterprise turns out to be more difficult than one would naively believe.Appeared open access as: Computational Linguistics in the Netherlands Journal (CLIN), vol. 1 (2011), pp. 21-40, and is available at http://www.clinjournal.org/sites/default/files/Lopopolo.pdfA.

Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, pour une révolution bioéconomique
No full textSobriété, promotion de l’agriculture biologique, chasse au gaspillage… Ces principes bioéconomiques énoncés par Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen dans les années 1970 ont été à l’origine de l’association communément faite entre ses travaux et le mouvement de la décroissance. Cette affiliation s’avère pourtant réductrice. La participation de Georgescu- Roegen aux premiers débats écologiques et son appel à une réforme profonde de la théorie économique en font un acteur majeur des débats intellectuels de la seconde moitié du xxe siècle, bien au-delà des controverses de l’écologie radicale. La pensée de Georgescu-Roegen, à travers ses inspirations, sa clairvoyance, ses subtilités, mais aussi ses ambiguïtés et contradictions, offre un cadre de réflexion privilégié pour enraciner la réflexion économique dans la dynamique écologique. Cet ouvrage contient par ailleurs la réédition d’un texte méconnu de Georgescu-Roegen publié en 1978, « De la science économique à la bioéconomie », et riche en enseignements dans le contexte des préoccupations environnementales actuelles.Sobriety, promotion of organic farming, the fight against waste... These bioeconomic principles proposed in the 1970s by Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen led to the commonly-made association between his works and the De-growth Movement. This connection, however, appears simplistic. Georgescu-Roegen’s participation in the first ecological debates and his call for a radical reform of economic theory made him a major player in the intellectual debates of the second half of the 20th century, where his contributions extended well beyond the controversies of radical ecology. The thought of Georgescu-Roegen, seen through his inspirations, his foresight, his subtleties, as well as his ambiguities and contradictions, offers an invaluable framework for reflection for incorporating economic thinking into ecological dynamics. This volume also contains the reprint of Georgescu-Roegen’s “From economic science to bioeconomics”, an unknown text published in 1978, which contains a wealth of information relating to current environmental concerns
The collected data of the PhD Thesis of Richards, Nicholas John 2025
No full textThis is a dataset of the data generated over the course of the PhD studies of Nicholas John Richards (2020-2024). It includes methods, analysis, figures, and example representative images. Much of the data deposited here are the microscope images in the form of TIFF files alongside the Excel sheets and GraphPad Prizm files that record, statistically analyse, and graph the data involved in the production of the figures of the above-mentioned thesis and published paper which resulted. The figures also included contained in PowerPoints. It is arranged by thesis chapter and experiment or stain performed. The complete methods used are also included in Word documents in a folder named as such.
The thesis by Nicholas John Richards to which this data relates is entitled: “The effects of the venom of the Tarantula spiders Poecilotheria regalis and Thrixopelma pruriens on skeletal muscle damage and nociception.” One paper has been published, this paper is Richards et al (2023), Indian Ornamental Tarantula (Poecilotheria regalis) Venom Affects Myoblast Function and Causes Skeletal Muscle Damage.
It was contributed to by Pradeep Vijaya Kumar (University of Reading, https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9894-2201) who collected the biochemistry data relating to the P. regalis venom (fluorescent PLA2, serine protease and metalloprotease assays) but these were analysed and graphed by Nicholas John Richards. The caseinolytic assays and biochemical assays on T. pruriens venom were performed by Nicholas John Richards.
Adedoyin Balogun (Hull York Medical School) also contributed by taking the images of the F4/80 staining of macrophages, these appeared as supplementary figures. These assay data and images were also later included in my thesis, with credit given, so are also included here. The copyright for the F4/80 images remains with Adedoyin Balogun. In addition, a further, at this time (March 2025) untitled, short communication is being drafted on the topic of nociception caused by the P. regalis venom.
Some data about an unrelated snake venom is the work of Sodiq Adeyemi (SA) (University of Reading, https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7664-7340). It is included because we used the same plate to investigate the caseinolytic activity of the P. regalis and the Bitis arietans Puff Adder snake. To avoid edits to the files and changes to the date modified this is also included
