This dissertation explains how and why some American artists investigated visual phenomena and heightened perception during the 1960s and 1970s. As an analytical account grounded in the perceptual experience of artworks and in archival research of the claims artists made for their creations, this study is centered around the themes of re-sensitizing one’s body and perceptual faculties, the process of empirical discovery, and the ultimate inability of language to satisfactorily describe sensory phenomena. In Chapter 1, I establish a brief intellectual history of research concerning the sensory faculties from fields in the humanities, including psychology, philosophy, and art history. In Chapter 2, I analyze Judd’s art-critical concept of optical phenomena and consider the art about which he wrote, including his own, on the basis of this tentative classification. In Chapter 3, I evaluate John Chamberlain’s lacquer paintings in terms of the visual phenomena generated by his innovative paint mixtures and application techniques, then consider his provisional separation of intuition and intellect. In Chapter 4, I examine Robert Irwin’s efforts to refine his visual attentiveness and, in the course of doing so, I also test the accompanying artworks he made that demand such unusually acute observation. In Chapter 5, I argue that distinguishing physical, pictorial, and reflected visual phenomena in Larry Bell’s pieces proves to be an exceptional challenge, a problem compounded by the inefficacy of trying to communicate visual discoveries using language. In the Conclusion, I demonstrate that by restoring the role of heightened perception and sensory discovery to the history of art of the 1960s and 1970s, this dissertation helps to preserve the complexity and variety of works made during that time. / text

Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / Due to their unique expertise, military officers have always held a special position within Western society. Yet, while individuals who have demonstrated knowledge of warfare and prowess in battle have long been held in high regard by society and the members of their profession, it is those who have also demonstrated the ideals of citizenship and chivalry who serve as the icons for thoughtful military officers. The purpose of this thesis is to examine the evolution of the citizen-officer ideal- through a close study of historical and literary case studies. By establishing a common theme or values among completely separate exemplars of this ideal, a continuum joining Odysseus, Cincinnatus, Beowulf, and Gawain to Washington, Chamberlain, and Marshall might eventually be carried forward to the present and the modern military officer. Specific focus is given to the roles that classical notions of citizenship and the Code of Chivalry have played in shaping the ethos of the American officer. / Lieutenant, United States Navy

The diploma thesis delay with H. S. Chamberlain's thinking as a representative of biological determinism and racism, which id presented in the context of modern progress of secular thinking. Thesis further describes eugenics as the outcome of this way of thinking, which is presented in it's theory and the practice of Nazi "racial hygiene", but also at present, where eugenics practice in a certain measure still persists, under other names only.

Yes / Previous studies have reported that the ageing method of Suchey-Brooks (pubic bone) and some of the features applied by Lovejoy et al. and Buckberry-Chamberlain (auricular surface) can be confidently performed on 3D visualizations from CT-scans. In this study, seven observers applied the Suchey-Brooks and the Buckberry-Chamberlain methods on 3D visualizations based on CT-scans and, for the first time, on 3D visualizations from laser scans. We examined how the bone features can be evaluated on 3D visualizations and whether the different modalities (direct observations of bones, 3D visualization from CT-scan and from laser scans) are alike to different observers. We found the best inter-observer agreement for the bones versus 3D visualizations, with the highest values for the auricular surface. Between the 3D modalities, less variability was obtained for the 3D laser visualizations. Fair inter-observer agreement was obtained in the evaluation of the pubic bone in all modalities. In 3D visualizations of the auricular surfaces, transverse organization and apical changes could be evaluated, although with high inter-observer variability; micro-, macroporosity and surface texture were very difficult to score. In conclusion, these methods were developed for dry bones, where they perform best. The Suchey-Brooks method can be applied on 3D visualizations from CT or laser, but with less accuracy than on dry bone. The Buckberry-Chamberlain method should be modified before application on 3D visualizations. Future investigation should focus on a different approach and different features: 3D laser scans could be analyzed with mathematical approaches and sub-surface features should be explored on CT-scans

In second half of 15th century, Bohemia was confronted with many social changes. One of the most important was the effort to codify land law which was finalized by the publishing of Vladislaus's land law. It's leading author was Albrecht Rendl of Ousava. Because of it Rendl became well known among his contemporaries and in general historical awareness. There are only few known facts about the rest of his life. He served as royal prosecutor for a long time, but he also obtained two of the highest land offices - the supreme land scribe and the prosecutor. Rendl represents a kind of person able to promote himself to the highest points of contemporary policy due to his formidable personal abilities.

Examensarbete, civilekonomprogrammet inriktning Controller, Ekonomihögskolan vid Linnéuniversitetet, Växjö.  Kurskod 4FE18E, 30hp, VT2019   Författare: Mikael Bergström och Louise Samuelsson Handledare: Elin Funck   Titel: Controllerns roll - från generalisering till nyansering   Bakgrund: I takt med att företagen och dess ekonomistyrning utvecklats sägs controllerrollen gått från att vara en beancounter till en affärsinriktad business partner. Det finns dock en oenighet i hur, och hur långt, utvecklingen skett och argument har förts fram att det fullständiga skiftet inte materialiserats utan att det istället är en hybridiserad roll som syns. Trots att det öppnats upp för att det är en heterogen roll har det linjära tänket kring rollens utveckling lett till generaliseringar och otydligheter i hur rollen beskrivs.   Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att identifiera olika faktorer som påverkar rollen för controllers samt förklara hur dessa faktorer påverkar controllers i olika riktningar och mot olika roller. Ambitionen och det övergripande syftet är därmed att generera en djupgående kunskap och förståelse samt att nyansera bilden av controllerrollen.   Metod: Studien centrerar kring en kvalitativ intervjustudie av studieobjektet controllers. Semistrukturerade intervjuer har genomförts med controllers på tre stora företag inom den tillverkande sektorn för att ge en relevant bredd till det empiriska materialet.   Slutsatser: Ett bidrag ges till teorin dels genom resultatet som visar att det är en hybridiserad roll som återfinns men också genom att olika faktorer som påverkar rollen har identifierats samt diskuterats och använts för att nyansera och urskilja olika inriktningar av rollen utifrån vilken nivå eller position controllern jobbar på. Förväntningar och uppfattningar ses påverka genom att möjliggöra och öppna upp för en bred och inkluderande roll och erfarenhet ses påverka arbets- och förhållningssättet till att bli mer aktivt och med ett förändrat analytiskt tillvägagångssätt. I och med att mönster har kunnat urskiljas vad gäller arbetsuppgifter och handlingar samt vad som är viktig kunskap, kompetens och egenskaper i förhållande till den organisatoriska positionen ses dessa i kombination påverka rollen i olika riktningar. Alla positioner och nivåer ses innehålla drag av rollbeskrivningen analytiker. Ledningsnivån samt positionen finance ses också påverkas åt coach, positionerna RnD, logistik och produktion påverkar åt pedagog och positionen redovisning åt kamrer. Sist ses arbete på den operativa nivån påverka rollen åt såväl pedagog som kamrer. / Degree Project in Controlling, The Business Administration and Economics Programme. School of Business and Economics at Linnaeus university, Växjö. Course code 4FE18E, 30 credits. Spring semester 2019   Authors: Mikael Bergström and Louise Samuelsson Supervisor: Elin Funck   Title: The controller role - from generalization to nuance   Background: As the companies and their management accounting has developed, the controller role is said to have gone from that of a beancounter towards a business oriented business partner. However, there is a disagreement in how, and how far, the development has gone and arguments has been made that the complete transition has not materialized, and that the role can rather be seen as a hybrid. Despite the fact that the theoretical framework has opened up for a heterogenous role, the linear thinking in regards to the development of the role has led to generalisations and ambiguity in how the role is described.   Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify different factors that affect the roles for controllers, as well as explaining how these factors affect controllers in various directions and towards various roles. The ambition along with the general purpose is therefore to generate a deeper knowledge and understanding as well as painting a more nuanced picture of controllers and their different roles in a company.   Method: The thesis is centered around a qualitative interview study of controllers as a professional group. Semi-structured interviews have been performed with controllers from three large manufacturing companies in order to provide a relevant depth and width for the empirical material.      Conclusions: A contribution is made to the theoretical framework, in part through the result of the thesis that conclude a hybridization of the role. The second contribution is that various factors that affect the role have been identified as well as discussed and utilized in order to distinguish different directions of the role pending on what level or in which position the controller is active. Expectations and opinions are seen to affect and open up for a broad and including role, while experience affect how controllers work as well as their analytical approach in different assignments. Patterns have emerged in regard to assignments, actions, important attributes and competencies that, combined with the organizational aspect, is seen to push the role in different directions. In accordance with this, all positions and levels include the role of analyst to some degree. Additionally, the managerial level as well as the position of finance show signs that point to a coach-role, the positions of RnD, logistics and production include an educator-perspective, and the position of accounting connect to the role of a chamberlain. Lastly, the operational level show signs of pushing the role towards that of both an educator and a chamberlain.

The United Kingdom is imprinted in our historical memory as the birthplace of modern democracy, the rule of law and respect to private ownership. However, this memory reflects deep history of the 19th century rather than the present state of affairs. The English like other developed nations have acquired the policy of state interventions, nationalization of private enterprise for a compensation, fight against the economic cycle in an unprecedented consensus. Many of the contemporaries assess England through the prism of Margaret Thatcher, however, as demonstrated in this work, her right-winged policy proved an exception to the Conservative Party's rule. Historiography ascribes the reasons of the situation especially to the Labour Party. A number of history works limits the causality of the state growth to the onset of the Laborites. It is apparent, however, that the search for the reasons of the state of affairs needs to quest much deeper in history. Despite its name, the Liberal Party is an institution with a long tradition of state-positive thinking. It was the new Radical Liberals who arrived with a "ransom" theory as well as the program of urban socialism, which does not seem to be a symptom of the laissez faire era in the today's regulated world of private waterworks, gas and electric power...
