The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
No full textThis thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour

Using information & communication technological tools to engage students in high-order thinking - a case study
No full textThis dissertation discusses the findings of a case study of a primary school in Singapore (referred to as Young Primary School – this is a pseudo name) on the use of information and communication technological (ICT) tools to engage students in higher-order thinking. This dissertation is part of a larger research project (referred to as the Main Research) funded by the Ministry of Education, Singapore and undertaken by Lim and his colleagues.Master of Arts (Instructional Design & Technology

Amending the reflected shock phase of the Lee code
No full textThe radial reflected shock phase begins when the inward shock front (IS) which is collisional hits the central axis and a reflected shock (RS) is produced that moves radially outward. This phase ends and the pinch phase begins when the outward moving RS front meets the inward moving magnetic piston. The Lee code approximates the RS phase by taking an estimated constant RS speed in the formulation of the code. In this paper we analyse the RS situation in more detail. A physical mechanism is used to obtain the RS speed as functions of position and time during its propagation towards the incoming piston. This is an important amendment to this phase of the code. In computing the RS speed, the temperature variation during the RS phase is also obtained. The speed and temperature versus time profiles are presented demonstrating a more realistic picture than the constant speed and temperature assumption. The temperature-radius profile across the pinch at its start is also derived
Distributed human computation framework for linked data co-reference resolution
No full textDistributed Human Computation (DHC) is a technique used to solve computational problems by incorporating the collaborative effort of a large number of humans. It is also a solution to AI-complete problems such as natural language processing. The Semantic Web with its root in AI is envisioned to be a decentralised world-wide information space for sharing machine-readable data with minimal integration costs. There are many research problems in the Semantic Web that are considered as AI-complete problems. An example is co-reference resolution, which involves determining whether different URIs refer to the same entity. This is considered to be a significant hurdle to overcome in the realisation of large-scale Semantic Web applications. In this paper, we propose a framework for building a DHC system on top of the Linked Data Cloud to solve various computational problems. To demonstrate the concept, we are focusing on handling the co-reference resolution in the Semantic Web when integrating distributed datasets. The traditional way to solve this problem is to design machine-learning algorithms. However, they are often computationally expensive, error-prone and do not scale. We designed a DHC system named iamResearcher, which solves the scientific publication author identity co-reference problem when integrating distributed bibliographic datasets. In our system, we aggregated 6 million bibliographic data from various publication repositories. Users can sign up to the system to audit and align their own publications, thus solving the co-reference problem in a distributed manner. The aggregated results are published to the Linked Data Cloud
