This practice-led research project considers human agency in relation to matter and materialism. Seeking to unlearn human assertions of agency as dominant, this project fosters relational and collaborative exchanges with matter that manifest as installations and sculptural interventions. Informed by new materialist and posthuman frameworks, it recognises that material hierarchies are held in place by what we choose to prioritise in human worlds.

The research extends the understanding of these factors through the incorporation of Absorptive Capacity (ACAP). Accordingly, a model is developed that integrates ACAP, MVC and MV with market-driving innovation performance, comprising before-launch stage performance, post-launch stage performance and financial performance. External and internal structural factors relevant to the firm such as size and the nature of its competitive environment are also considered as moderators in the model.

This dissertation presents a creative practice-based experiment in civil celebrancy with the focus on contemporary celebrancy. The dissertation constructs and reflects upon a Ceremony of Restoration to give meaning, healing, and mending for people’s lives in the wake of traumatic, chaotic, and unresolved events. This ceremony can be used by the person, or people, at its centre to give expression to such experiences and feelings and to build resilience through a secular ritual involving their stories, memories, images, personal artefacts, and music.

The aim of this research is to gain an in-depth understanding of the role of extended family members in family decision-making in the context of a high-involvement purchase in an emerging economy. A high-involvement purchase involves a positive and strong engagement for consumers and thus requires that the purchaser devotes more time, thought, energy, motivation and other resources to the purchase process (George & Edward, 2009; O’Cass, 2000).

In the article, we see that the birational maps of degree d of the projective space Pn k form a locally closed subvariety of the projective space P(Sdn11), denoted Crd(n). In this paper, we will construct the notion of extended degree of rational maps, then we obtain the functor crd(n) that represents the variety Crd(n).

In this paper, we describe a hedge algebras based approach to modelling uncertainty in fuzzy object-oriented databases. Membership value reflects the degree of fuzziness existing in the data values and uncertainty is extended to the class definition level and is the basis for the determination of the membership of an object in a class.

The EF-hand calcium-binding proteins may exist either in an extended or a compact conformation. This conformation is sometimes correlated with the function of the calcium-binding protein. For those proteins whose structure and function are known, calcium sensors are usually extended and calcium buffers compact; hence, there is interest in predicting the form of the pro-tein starting from its sequence.

Gastric Adenocarcinoma: Treatment Complete surgical removal of the tumor with resection of adjacent lymph nodes offers the only chance for cure. However, this is possible in less than a third of patients. A subtotal gastrectomy is the treatment of choice for patients with distal carcinomas, while total or near-total gastrectomies are required for more proximal tumors. The inclusion of extended lymph node dissection in these procedures appears to confer an added risk for complications without enhancing survival.
