Two of the methods in the round robin are compared against each other and the result from a home test to see if the methods can show what the customer experience.

Alternative perceptions of reality: dyslexiaColgin, Clayton Shawn January 2009 (has links)
Master of Visual Arts / My MVA work, Alternative Perceptions of Reality: Dyslexia, revolves around dyslexia and ways in which dyslexic artists, like myself, represent reality in their art. I focus on how dyslexics perceive space and time, how this is represented in their work and how it manifests in my own work. The introduction describes why dyslexia is relevant to art, provides more detail on dyslexia itself and ways dyslexia can affect perception. Surrealism and Symbolism are discussed in order to draw parallels with dyslexic perception. Chapter 1 describes the influences on my own work, including dyslexia, primitive art and symbolism. The second chapter profiles two well known artists with dyslexia: Robert Rauschenberg and Pablo Picasso. I examine ways in which they represent space or reality and how dyslexic perception is apparent in their works. Similarly, in Chapter 3, I discuss the works of the contemporary dyslexic artists Terry A. Orchard and Katharine Dowson, including the results of interviews and surveys I conducted. Throughout this dissertation, I also discuss my own experience of dyslexia and how it is expressed through my paintings. In the conclusion, I discuss what I have learned about the work of myself and other dyslexic artists: How our paintings are a glimpse of alternative inner realities.

Which witch is which? A feminist analysis of Terry Pratchett's Discworld witchesAndersson, Lorraine January 2006 (has links)
<p>Terry Pratchett, writer of humorous, satirical fantasy, is very popular in Britain. His Discworld series, which encompasses over 30 novels, has witches as protagonists in one of the major sub-series, currently covering eight novels. His first “witch” novel, Equal Rites, in which he pits organised, misogynist wizards against disorganised witches, led him to being accused of feminist writing. This work investigates this claim by first outlining the development of the historical witch stereotype or discourse and how that relates to the modern, feminist views of witches. Then Pratchett’s treatment of his major witch characters is examined and analysed in terms of feminist and poststructuralist literary theory. It appears that, while giving the impression of supporting feminism and the feminist views of witches,</p><p>Pratchett’s witches actually reinforce the patriarchal view of women.</p>

Who's Afraid Of The Wicked Wit?: A Comparison Of The Satirical Treatment Of The University System In Terry Pratchett's Discworld And Evelyn Waugh's Decline And FallWojciechowski, Mary Alice 10 May 2014 (has links)
Terry Pratchett, author of the best-selling Discworld series, and winner of multiple literary awards, writes satirical fantasy for adults and children. The academic community has been slow to accept Pratchett's work as worthy of notice. Factors that contribute to this reticence include writing fantasy, writing for children, a high volume of work, and popularity in general society. This thesis will provide a comparison between Pratchett's work and that of Evelyn Waugh by focusing on their academic satire, shedding new light on Pratchett's work from a literary perspective, thus lending greater value to his Discworld series as a collection of novels with measurable literary value to the academic community.

Modelling Assumed Metric Paired Comparison Data - Application to Learning Related EmotionsGrand, Alexandra, Dittrich, Regina 01 1900 (has links) (PDF)
In this article we suggest a beta regression model that accounts for the degree of preference in paired comparisons measured on a bounded metric paired comparison scale. The beta distribution for bounded continuous random variables assumes values in the open unit interval (0,1). However, in practice we will observe paired comparison responses that lie within a fixed or arbitrary fixed interval [-a,a] with known value of a. We therefore transform the observed responses into the interval (0,1) and assume that these transformed responses are each a realization of a random variable which follows a beta distribution. We propose a simple paired comparison regression model for beta distributed variables which allows us to model the mean of the transformed response using a linear predictor and a logit link function -- where the linear predictor is defined by the parameters of the logit-linear Bradley-Terry model. For illustration we applied the presented model to a data set obtained from a student survey of learning related emotions in mathematics. (authors' abstract)

The Psychology of Personal Constructs as a Response to the EthicalThayne, Jeffrey Lamar 06 July 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Although George Kelly's psychology of personal constructs was not originally designed to address and account for experiences of self-betrayal, as described by Warner (1986, 2001), Olson (2004, 2007), Olson and Israelson (2007), Williams (2005), and others (Arbinger, 2000), his theory (with minor modifications) may help illuminate the psychology behind the sudden gestaltic shifts and moral transformations experienced by individuals in Warner's (1986, 2001) stories, without undoing any of Warner's existing analysis of self betrayal.The end vision of the thesis is a structured theory of personality, so to speak, that borrows Kelly's insights and extends them to the phenomenon of self-betrayal. This approach allows us to (1) help others make their self-betraying constructs explicit, (2) measure and document them when we do, (3) communicate those constructs to others, (4) and do all of these things while conceptualizing human beings as moral agents responding to their moral sense, in addition to scientists seeking to predict and control their environment.
