Responses to Raven matrices: Governed by visual complexity and centrality
No full textRaven matrices are widely considered a pure test of cognitive abilities. Previous research has examined the extent to which cognitive strategies are predictive of the number of correct responses to Raven items. This study examined whether response times can be explained directly from the centrality and visual complexity of the matrix cells (edge density and perceived complexity). A total of 159 participants completed a 12-item version of the Raven Advanced Progressive Matrices. In addition to item number (an index of item difficulty), the findings demonstrated a positive correlation between the visual complexity of Raven items and both the mean response time and the number of fixations on the matrix (a strong correlate of response time). Moreover, more centrally placed cells as well as more complex cells received more fixations. It is concluded that response times on Raven matrices are impacted by low-level stimulus attributes, namely, visual complexity and eccentricity.Human-Robot InteractionMedical Instruments & Bio-Inspired Technolog
Reclaiming the Raven: Irish-Australian Memory in the Post Modern Moment
No full textThis thesis looks at the processes of memory, imagination and cultural development in a single family of Irish extraction. The line in question derives from a western Irish sept known as the Ui Fiachrach, whose symbol was that of the raven.
The first chapter deals with the origins of the Ui Fiachrach and the impossibility of reaching an “Ur text”. It also critiques the notion of culture, noting that cultural difference (often defined on terms such as ‘blood’) can be a source of conflict. Finally, the problematic nature of the term ‘authenticity’ was explored.
The second chapter is concerned with the politics of ethnographic representation and the uses of English and Gaelic as representational tools.
The third chapter focuses on the differend that existed up till the later part of the 20th century against oral cultures (including Irish culture) and the imagination, as opposed to the realist/positivist/social Darwinist paradigm.
The fourth chapter takes into account the notions of alterity and ambivalence: a brief history of prejudice against the Irish and the dilemma of preserving one’s culture versus fitting in.
The fifth chapter examined the source material gained from research which represents a core sample of my family’s collective memory. The limits of storytelling were delineated, and the motifs classified into themes.
The sixth chapter showed how there is considerable scope and play in the symbol of the raven, in stark contrast to stereotypes typified by Poe’s Raven. In such play is the potential to reclaim the raven as a positive symbol.
The seventh chapter looked at the common characteristics between the visual Irish imagination and the modern genre of magic realism. It also examined the internal dynamics of, and the potential for, continued cultural development into the 3rd millennium
Life on the boundary: "Passing" and the limits of self-definition
No full textWith the advent of various state laws that classified as black any individual with at least “one-drop” of African blood and the legalization of racial segregation enacted by the Plessy vs. Ferguson Supreme Court decision, the American post-Reconstruction era was a period in which the line separating races became more and more distinct. However, as the legal definitions and hierarchical categorizations of racial difference became more discrete, the physical basis of racial distinction became increasingly destabilized. Nella Larsen’s Passing and James Weldon Johnson’s The Autobiography of an Ex-Coloured Man are novels from this period that depict the struggles of characters who suffer because of the social and legal distinction between “black” and “white.” Because of the social
imperative that these characters be black even though they have visibly white skin, the distinction between “black” and “white” actually becomes an arbitrary distinction between “white” and “not-white.” The protagonists of both novels--Clare Kendry, Irene
Redfield, and the unnamed Ex-Colored Man--all seek stable self-definitions that successfully integrate both their personal and social identities. However, because of their inability to resolve the paradox created by their visible “whiteness” and legal classification as “black,” none of the protagonists are able to successfully negotiate the threats posed by their racially and socioeconomically oppressive environment while
keeping their personal identities continuously intact. Unable to form stable, coherent identities through the blending of mutually agreeable public and private “selves,” Clare, Irene, and the Ex-Colored Man remain in irresolvable positions with identities that are
permanently indeterminate.M.A.Includes bibliographical referencesby Raven Marlenia Mose
Beneath Raven Moon by D. Bouchard
No full textBouchard, David. (2012). Beneath Raven Moon. North Vancouver, BC: More Than Words Publishers. Print and CD. Trickster Raven is at it again in Beneath Raven Moon, a creation myth taken from the tradition of the Kwakwaka’wakw people of British Columbia. Metis author David Bouchard weaves together the enchanting tale of how keen-eyed Eagle and whimsical Raven conspire to create a love match between two young people with the story of how the Earth was given Grandmother Moon. Each page is beautifully illustrated with West Coast First Nation’s designs in the dark golds, silvers, blues and oranges of nighttime. Bouchard sets a quiet, ethereal tone for the text through carefully-paced repetition and descriptions of night time scenes. The use of playful dialogue, traditional terms such as Grandmother Moon or Grandfather Cedar and Bouchard’s placement of Trickster as a force in many aboriginal cultures enhances the timeless feeling of the text. Beneath Raven Moon derives its authenticity from its Metis author and K’omoks First Nations illustrator. Source notes are background information that places this myth in the tradition of the Kwakwaka’wakw people from BC’s Inside Passage. Each page contains both English and Kwakwala text, with the Kwakwala translation attributed to Pauline and Pewi Alfred. In keeping with First Nations\u27 oral traditions, a CD of the story read aloud in English, Kwakwala and French is included with the book. The CD also features the haunting First Nations flute music of Mary Youngblood. Students aged eight to twelve will enjoy the visual and auditory experience of Beneath Raven Moon.

Raven recycling biomass fuel study: Final report
No full text"In February of 2016, Raven Recycling collaborated with ACS Mechanical Systems with the support of Yukon Government’s EMR Energy Branch and the Cold Climate Innovation Centre to purchase an Austrian-built Hargassner Wood Chip/ Pellet boiler. The project served as a pilot to investigate alternative heating in the Yukon. The boiler is fueled by biomass, an energy source that the Yukon has in abundance." --from Introduction.Repor
Polish Translations of “The Raven”
No full textThe article is a comparative analysis of Polish translations of one of the most famous poems in world literature, Edgar Allan Poe’s The Raven (1845). The author includes the earliest Polish translation (1869), commonly forgotten and underrated because of its prose form. Officially the history of Polish translations of The Raven begins with Miriam’s translation (1886). The author compares and contrasts these translations with the 20th century translations (Jolanta Kozak, Władysław Kasiński, Maciej Froński, Stanisław Barańczak), rendered both in prose and in verse. In particular, the author focuses on various stylistic devices (the quality of rhymes, alliteration, archaisms), as well as the characteristics of Poe’s text (the theme of hope and death, Gothic and Romantic elements). The modernist translations differ from the contemporary translations in terms of the usage of colours, references to senses, and intertextual allusions. The analysis is supported by a number of theoretical and critical studies by and about the translators mentioned in the article, as well as E.A. Poe’s own essay The Philosophy of Composition, in which Poe offered a study explaining creation of his famous poem
