What role has music played in global colonial projects? And how has musical colonisation been implemented on a large scale? To address these questions, I analyse the work of the evangelical missionary administrators Christian Ignatius Latrobe (1756–1836) and Hans-Peter Hallbeck (1784–1840). Latrobe was a London-based music historian, composer and editor who oversaw the missionary work of the Morav
A network mechanics model for analysis of materials made of dry-shaped cellulose fibres is proposed. In terms of the model, the network is composed of fibres of arbitrary distribution in length, curvature, cross-section. stiffness and strength. The fibres are arranged in a random structure according to an arbitrary orientation distribution. Where fibres meet there may be fibre-to-fibre interaction
The introduction of laminated timber, glulam being an example, allowed many of the disadvantages associated with solid wood to be overcome. The disadvantages in question are mainly those related to the size and shape limits of structural elements made of solid wood and to the large variability in such material properties of solid wood as strength and stiffness.In the present thesis, which comprise
Internationally, there is considerable inconsistency in the recognition and regulation of children's genetic connections outside the family. In the context of gamete and embryo donation, challenges for regulation seem endless. In this paper, I review some of the paths that have been taken to manage children' being closely genetically related to people outside their families. I do so against the ba
III-V co-integration is less mature compared to Si/Ge CMOS due to their inferior pMOS device performance. This letter adopts a novel quaternary InGaAsSb channel material in a core-shell vertical nanowire structure to overcome the limitations. A gate-last process achieves self-alignment of the drain and gate contacts. The improved electrostatics with short gate length ${L}_{\text {g}}$ = 60 nm resu
Propagation-based phase contrast imaging with a laboratory x-ray source is a valuable tool for studying samples that show only low absorption contrast, either because of low density, elemental composition, or small feature size. If a propagation distance between sample and detector is introduced and the illumination is sufficiently coherent, the phase shift in the sample will cause additional cont
Probabilistic methods can be used to account for uncertainties in hygrothermal analysis of building envelopes. This paper presents methods for robust mould reliability analysis and identification of critical parameters. Mould indices are calculated by probabilistic hygrothermal analysis, followed by the application of the "Finnish mould growth model." To increase the robustness of the mould growth
In this article, we read the COVID-19 pandemic from a Lacanian perspective, in which trauma and ontological insecurity are at the heart of the analysis. Using a psychoanalytical approach allows us to grasp why the most common response to the pandemic consisted of intensified commitments to home, nationalism, and exclusionary bordering practices and, in effect, a return to geopolitical notions of “
ObjectivesThe numbers of computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examinations per capita continue to increase in Sweden and in other parts of Europe. The appropriateness of CT and MRI examinations was audited using established European appropriateness criteria. Alternative modalities were also explored. The results were compared with those of a previous study performed in Swe
In performance contexts, costume is often perceived as visual expression that is in service of, for example, a choreographer’s vision. I argue that costume is also an aesthetic and poetic language in its own right that allows individuals such as performers and designers to co-conceptualize and co-create performances. In co-creative performance-making processes, I argue that it is critical that des
This presentation aims to discuss and unfold costume strategies that build on ecofeminist Donna Haraway’s notion of ‘making kin’. As an artistic researcher, I advocate that awakening artistic curiosity and openness towards materialities is cultivated through co-creative practices of thinking-with ‘a host of companions in sympoietic’ (Haraway 2016: 31). Haraway argues that kinship is not a given bu
This immersive co-costumed performance experience invites the audience to participate. Wearing a “costume for two” (over your own clothes), you will embark on an exploratory and playful walking journey in a community of other co-costumed couples.Community Walk is an immersive co-costumed performance experience that invites the audience to participate and encounter costume in a non-traditional way.
In this composite panel, we would like to create an international and transcultural forum to reflect on several issues related to the collaboration between performers and scenographers.This panel will discuss questions arising from the themes proposed by the participants of this panel:* What legacies of the performer-scenographer relationship have we inherited? What kind of hierarchies and assumpt
Humans show a population-level preference for using the right hand. The fighting hypothesis is an influential theory that suggests that left-handedness persists because its rarity provides a surprise advantage in fighting interactions, and that left-handedness is less frequent because it has a health cost. However, evidence for the health cost of left-handedness is unsubstantiated, leaving the gre
CP4 3HDM is a three-Higgs-doublet model based on the CP symmetry of order 4 (CP4). Imposing CP4 leads to remarkable connections between the scalar and Yukawa sectors and unavoidably generates tree-level flavor-changing neutral couplings (FCNC). It remains unclear whether FCNC can be sufficiently suppressed in the CP4 3HDM. In this paper, we systematically explore this issue. We first develop an ef
Faxon fir (Abies fargesii var. faxoniana), as a dominant tree species in the subalpine coniferous forest of Southwest China, has strict requirements regarding the temperature and humidity of the growing environment. Therefore, the dynamic and continuous monitoring of Faxon fir distribution is very important to protect this highly sensitive ecological environment. Here, we combined unmanned aerial
Support for Machine Learning (ML) applications in networking has significantly improved over the last decade. The availability of public datasets and programmable switching fabrics (including low-level languages to program them) presents a full-stack to the programmer for deploying in-network ML. However, the diversity of tools involved, coupled with complex optimization tasks of ML model design a
