Cold war theology: a controversial religious image of King James VI & I in England and on the Continent in 1603
No full textA former student of James Cameron’s, Ian Hazlett contributes a paper very much in the spirit of his teacher. It considers the afterlife of the King’s (or Negative) Confession, commissioned by James VI of Scotland in 1581 as a clear statement of his Calvinist credentials. By the time he gained the crown of England in 1603 however, his evolving religious views meant it had become a document he sought to distance himself from. Both Protestant and Catholic propagandists and publishers, keen to give a particular picture of the theological sympathies of the new English king, subsequently produced a surprisingly varied selection of versions of the Confession. These sources and what they can tell us about the theology and politics of the day are considered here for the first time in a scholarly study.Publisher PD
Ian Bogost at X-Media Lab: serious gaming
No full textVideo games are usually viewed as a form of escapism: pure entertainment and shoot-em-up fantasy. But increasingly, games are being recognised as educational tools, or as deliverers of social or political messages. This evolving medium is taking on complex environments and issues, and providing a platform for people to explore a world or situation in an interactive way. In this talk at the X Media Lab in Sydney, video game theorist and designer Ian Bogost gives an overview of how video games can benefit human existence.
Ian Bogost is author of "Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism", recently listed among "50 books for everyone in the game industry". He also wrote "Persuasive Games: The Expressive Power of Videogames", and was co-author of "Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System". He is widely considered an influential thinker and doer in the videogame industry and research community.
 
The control and administration of training colleges from the McNair report (1944) to the education (No. 2) Act, 1968, with special reference to the policies of the A.T.C.D.E
No full textThis thesis attempts to answer five main questions. What were the problems of the control and administration of the training colleges between the McNair and Robbins Reports which caused the colleges to place such great importance on the Robbins' proposals for changes in the system? Why were the Robbins' recommendations rejected? Why was there a controversy over the membership of the Weaver Study Group? Why did the Weaver Report and the Education (No. 2) Act, 1968, take the form they did? What part did the A.T.C.D.E. play in these developments? Chapter 1 outlines the framework of the system of control and administration of the colleges and the changes that were taking place in the system between 1944-61. Against this background, Chapter 2 traces the development of A.T.C.D.E. policies and the reactions of representatives of the providing bodies to the policies. Chapter 3 examines the evidence of the main interested parties to the Robbins Committee, the Committee's proposals and the lines of the impending debate. Chapter 4 analyses the reasons for the rejection of the Robbins’ proposals. Chapter 5 discusses the controversy over the membership of the Weaver Study Group. Chapter 6 presents a detailed analysis of the main issues within the Weaver Study Group. Chapter 7 describes the initial action taken on the Weaver Report and the causes of the A.T.C.D.E.'s growing concern with the response of sane L.E.As to the Weaver Report. Chapter 8 follows the passage of the House of Lords’ Bill through the Lords and Commons and the A.T.C.D.E.'s campaign to secure the most generous interpretation of the Weaver proposals and that instruments as well as articles of government should be subject to the Secretary of State's approval
Democracy Sausage with Mark Kenny: How to be a liberal with Ian Dunt
No full textOn this Democracy Sausage Extra, Ian Dunt - host of the Oh God, What Now? podcast and author of How to be a liberal - joins Mark Kenny to discuss the history of liberal thought, how it has shaped present day politics, and the origins of the ‘culture wars’. Have the culture wars emerged out of the failures of liberalism? Why haven’t contemporary political actors done more to protect people from prejudice and the tyranny of the majority? And is liberalism a natural corollary to democracy? On this Democracy Sausage Extra, author, political journalist and broadcaster Ian Dunt joins Professor Mark Kenny to discuss the history of political thought, present day politics, and liberalism’s trajectory
Reliability of two REMUS-100 AUVs based on fault log analysis and elicited expert judgment
No full textReliability is especially important for autonomous
underwater vehicles (AUVs) that have made the transition
to operational use. However, in contrast to the unmanned
air vehicle community, there has been little sharing in the
open literature of detailed fault histories of commercial
AUVs from which an assessment of their reliability can be
made. In this paper, we declare the fault history of two
REMUS-100 AUVs manufactured by Hydroid Inc. and
operated by the Center for Coastal Marine Sciences at
California Polytechnic State University. The data set
contains the faults and incidents recorded from 186
missions between 5 November 2003 and 14 January 2009.
Interaction between the faults or incidents with the AUV
and the operating environment complicate matters when
it comes to estimating probability of loss. Through a
formal process of eliciting expert judgment the paper
provides optimistic and pessimistic estimates of loss of
the REMUS vehicles in open water, coastal, under sea ice
and under ice shelf operations. Vehicle-specific risk
mitigation methods are explored, and recommendations
made for reviewing the fault history data using
behavioural aggregation through interaction among a
group of experts rather than simple mathematical
aggregation as in this paper
