An interpretation of building structures and their implications for social stratification at the site of Ban Non Wat, Thailand : a GIS analysis of prehistoric post-holes
No full textIn order to understand prehistoric behaviors through the field of archaeology, it may first be necessary to determine the social structure, as well as the political and economic growth of that society over time. Culture change may be displayed in a number of ways, including changes in pottery type, the presence or absence of materials such as copper and iron, or mortuary context and practices. According to Flannery (2002), social and economic evolution may be displayed in the archaeological record by changes in the shape and size of domestic structures. Excavations at the site of Ban Non Wat have revealed occupations covering a span of over 4000 years, ranging from the Neolithic to the Iron Age. During these excavations, thousands of post-holes were evident in the stratigraphic context of the site. Using a GIS (Geographic Information Systems) application, a general overlay of post-hole patterns per occupation level can be examined. By then deducing which of these post-holes had been dug during later occupations, patterns and changes in structure types over time can be investigated. This paper examines the apparent structural transformations at the site of Ban Non Wat, and compares them to other indications of social, physical, and economic change that have previously been revealed
Giving shape to time: An investigation into mixed-media installation
No full textThis research investigates ways of shaping time and identifying the characteristics of time that evolve in my art practice with reference to a synthesis of two and three-dimensional material, sound, and video. The nature of this study is a three-way material exchange between theoretical discourses, my practice, and audience response. The theoretical discourse includes a survey of the notions of time from different fields of knowledge from science, literature, anthropology, and memory studies. Additionally, an analysis of two contemporary installations, Normal & Nature by a Thai artist, Kamin Lertchaiprasert, and Going Forth by Day by an American artist, Bill Viola, is included.
Project 1, A solo show by Toeingam Srisubut, featured three art pieces: time-scape, container site, and ... and a real TV. The first project explored the potential media that can give shape to time and make the characteristics of time explicit. My evaluation of this project focuses on analysing the characteristics of time that grow out of my three works, and examining the audience's multiple readings of time that reveal various indicators, e.g. spaces, narratives, audience's and my memories, and certain Thai social and economic elements.
In Project 2, a sound and performance installation Rush Hour, narrative, space, and audience participation are considered specifically. I am testing out how effective the three indicators can give shape to time, and identifying the different characteristics of time of the installation placed in a specific environment of Koh Samui.
Project 3, a mix-media installation, When I grow rich, say the bells of Shoreditch, re-tested the three indicators. This project demonstrates my personal, cultural engagements and interpretations of these indicators. The research identifies further areas for potential studies within various aspects of time as well as practical ways of giving shape to it
Grip op Mycosphaerella in komkommer
No full textMycosphaerella is de afgelopen jaren een toenemend probleem geworden en komt breed voor bij alle telers met verschillende teeltsystemen. De schade ten gevolge van Mycosphaerella verschilt per bedrijf, maar kan bij ernstige aantastingen oplopen naar € 1,10 per m2. Chemische bestrijding is lastig door het slinkende middelenpakket en het optreden van resistentieontwikkeling. Sturen op teelt- en klimaatmaatregelen is eveneens beperkt in perioden met een hoge infectiedruk. In opdracht van de landelijke commissie komkommer hebben Wageningen UR Glastuinbouw, Adviesbureau Aleid Dik en DLV Plant in de zomermaanden een kennisinventarisatie uitgevoerd over Mycosphaerella in de teelt van komkommer. Dit project had tevens tot doel om de witte vlekken in kennis op dit gebied aan te geven om hieruit suggesties te formuleren voor vervolgonderzoek. Via een brochure is de verzamelde kennis toegankelijk gemaakt voor telers en adviseurs. Brochure In de brochure zijn de uitkomsten van het onderzoek kort weergegeven met duidelijke en praktische tips om de kans op infectie van Mycosphaerella zoveel mogelijk te voorkomen. Daarin wordt ook antwoord gegeven op de meest actuele vragen die naar voren zijn gekomen uit de gesprekken met telers en adviseurs. Inhoud rapport Dit rapport geeft een compleet en actueel overzicht van alle beschikbare informatie uit de vakbladen en (inter)nationale literatuur. Daarnaast is deze kennis aangevuld met kennis vanuit de praktijk. Hiervoor zijn telefonische interviews gehouden met telers, adviseurs, fabrikanten en veredelaars. In het discussiehoofdstuk wordt afgewogen hoeveel van de beschikbare kennis uiteindelijk wordt gebruikt door telers en adviseurs en waar kansen om infectie te voorkomen nog onbenut blijven. Witte vlekken & vervolgonderzoek Opvallend zijn het grote aantal witte vlekken met betrekking tot factoren die het infectieproces van inwendig vruchtrot beïnvloeden en de tegenstrijdige resultaten tussen onderzoeken. Sturing met klimaatfactoren geeft tussen onderzoekers onderling tegenstrijdige resultaten (bijv. verband tussen plantbelasting en inwendig vruchtrot). Een grote onbekende is verder de invloed van worteldruk, omdat dit tot dusver nooit goed direct te meten was. Vanuit de praktijk leven er vragen als: Wat is de invloed van overgangsmomenten in plantbelasting? Wat is de effectiviteit van gewasbeschermingsmiddelen specifiek tegen Mycosphaerella ? Wat is het juiste klimaat en watergeefstrategie om aantasting te voorkomen? Adviezen voor vervolgonderzoeken zijn ondermeer om te investeren in een waarschuwingssysteem (zodat tijdig bijgestuurd kan worden op teelt- en klimaatfactoren) en om gewasbeschermingsmiddelen gericht te testen op hun effectiviteit tegen Mycosphaerella. Conclusies Op korte termijn zijn er nieuwe middelen ter verwachten tegen Mycosphaerella die weinig gevoelig zijn voor resistentieontwikkeling. Toch blijft het zaak om nog meer aandacht te besteden aan preventie van Mycosphaerella door bijvoorbeeld te kiezen voor een cultivar met kleine bloemen en te letten op een nog effectievere sturing van teelt- en klimaatfactoren
Modelling visitor experience: a case study from World Heritage Sites, Thailand.
No full textThe subject of this Ph.D. Thesis is Modelling Visitor Experience: A Case Study from World Heritage Sites, Thailand. The research is conducted in three historical parks in Thailand by using an inductive approach of Grounded Theory. This aims to propose a model of visitor experience of heritage. It focuses on experience consumption related to what, why and how visitors consume the heritage experience when they interact with the cultural heritage. The construction of experience, factors affecting experience consumption and patterns of experience consumption are explored in this thesis. It provides theoretical and methodological contribution to the knowledge in both tourism and management fields.
The opportunity to collect data for this study stems from the three historical sites in Thailand by which grounded theory approach allows for a wider variety of data collection methods. The research had been conducted in the historical sites for over six months during October 2003 March 2004. The results presented in this thesis are based on a survey of 60 cases of participant observations with ethnographic interview and 180 cases of observation with visitors visiting the historical sites, and 48 unstructured and semi-structured interviews with visitors who visited those sites. The results are also based on a number of supplementary data such as travel journals, visitor books, and interpreted photographs written and taken by visitors who visited to the sites. Survey instruments for this study consist of interview and observation guides that were developed accordingly to emergent concepts during the field survey. The contributions comprise four major themes. Firstly, the development of the 'Visitor Heritage
Experience Model' based on multiple sources of data conceptualised by a systematic analysis process. The model provides the insight of visitors' subjective interactions with the heritage when they were engaged in a consumption of experience. This study reveals the multi-dimensional nature of visitor experience which expands what has been reported in the literatures. It also explains the complex attributes of visitors' on-site experience in terms of process and components of experience construction. Secondly, the emergent of 'Interactive Experience Process' as a core of the proposed model, acknowledges the dynamic nature of on-site experience through a multi-phase experience process and multiplicity of visitors' experience consumption practices. Rather than acknowledging
the tourist typology, this study explores the extent to which the elements of experience hold in different contexts and types of consumption experiences. The emergent theory can be used as a substantive theory to apply for other case studies involving visitors' experience of place. Thirdly,
the findings of this study have significant implications for designing principles and practices of an effective and sustainable visitor management in cultural heritage sites. The development of the, Visitor Experience Management Framework' discusses the creative use of the heritage and visitor empowerment to provide interactive experience of heritage to visitors. It suggests the consideration of a paradigm shift and crucial elements of visitor experience management especially in sensitive cultural heritage sites. Finally, this study provides several conceptual and methodological research perspectives through the use of 'Grounded Theory Approach'. The applications of the grounded theory's systematic analysis process can be adopted by future consumer and management research
De ontwikkeling van Connected ITS: Wat weten we? Wat weten we nog niet? Hoe vergaren we die kennis?
No full textNederland investeert fors in slimme mobiliteitsoplossingen. Er zijn de afgelopen paar jaar meer dan vijftig ITS-proefprojecten opgestart, waarvan er zo’n tien Connected ITS betreffen. Deze laatste categorie wordt gezien als the next step in het vakgebied – en zowel overheid als markt investeren dan ook juist hierin. Maar waar staan we eigenlijk met C-ITS? Wat hebben we tot nu toe van de pilots geleerd? Wat weten we nog niet? En hoe zorgen we ervoor dat we dat zo snel mogelijk wél weten
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Whose story is it anyway? The ethics of narration and the narration of ethics in Summertime and Die Sneeuslaper
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.This dissertation analyses and compares the narrative strategies in J.M. Coetzee’s Summertime and Marlene van Niekerk’s Die sneeuslaper and considers the implications of these strategies for the authors’ exploration of the ethics of writing. Much has been written about the literary oeuvres of both Coetzee and Van Niekerk, including studies of the translations of Van Niekerk’s Afrikaans novels into English. There are few “interlingual” comparative studies of contemporary works in Afrikaans and English, however, and certainly none to my knowledge which compares the work of Coetzee and Van Niekerk. My contribution to the conversation about Coetzee’s and Van Niekerk’s work, but also to an increasingly multilingual and interconnected South African literary criticism, will be a comparison of one recent work by each of these two authors, written in English and Afrikaans respectively. I draw on the theories of Bakhtin, Barthes and Levinas to consider the ethical dimension of texts in which “double-voicedness”, a questioning not only of existence, but of the self is fore grounded in the content and narrative structure; where there is a shift in focus from the author to the reader (“the birth of the reader”) and “utterances” are made with the response of “the other” in mind
