  • Getting to Know the Score a Heuristic Study Of
    Getting to know the score: A heuristic study of problem gambling Timothy Malcolm Crisp MSc Counselling Psychology Keele University 2018 Timothy M Crisp / 15019739 Getting to know the score: A heuristic study of problem gambling Timothy Malcolm Crisp Abstract Relatively little is known about the experience of problem gambling, but the issue of betting addiction impacts upon a worrying number of people. More than two million people in the United Kingdom are classified as being either problem gamblers, or at risk of developing a betting addiction (Gambling Commission, 2018, p.24). Yet, the British Psychological Society (2011) and the American Psychological Association (2013) identify a disturbing lack of study into the phenomenological experience of problem gambling. Using heuristics (Moustakas, 1990), I conducted a self-study into my experience of problem gambling. I adopted such a qualitative approach, as I wanted to realise the unique nature, essence and meanings of my addiction. My data was gathered in a journal, at the time I was experiencing my betting problem, and in retrospect. The tacit knowledge and understanding that emerged was collated into three themes. The first theme determined that my problem gambling was only concerned with in-play betting, and not online or high-street activity, due to the relative intensity of the encounter. The causes of my addiction were found to occur in succession; originally escape, then a confidence in the structured approach of a strategy. My previous experience of a sizeable win proved a continued and strong influence. The additional themes occurred sequentially. Initially, where the beneficial aspects of control, escape and reality were discovered to be illusory, and finally, where I encountered the shock of a spontaneous self-combustion.

  • Why No Wonder Woman?
    Why No Wonder Woman? A REPORT ON THE HISTORY OF WONDER WOMAN AND A CALL TO ACTION!! Created for Wonder Woman Fans Everywhere Introduction by Jacki Zehner with Report Written by Laura Moore April 15th, 2013 Wonder Woman - p. 2 April 15th, 2013 AN INTRODUCTION AND FRAMING “The destiny of the world is determined less by battles that are lost and won than by the stories it loves and believes in” – Harold Goddard. I believe in the story of Wonder Woman. I always have. Not the literal baby being made from clay story, but the metaphorical one. I believe in a story where a woman is the hero and not the victim. I believe in a story where a woman is strong and not weak. Where a woman can fall in love with a man, but she doesnʼt need a man. Where a woman can stand on her own two feet. And above all else, I believe in a story where a woman has superpowers that she uses to help others, and yes, I believe that a woman can help save the world. “Wonder Woman was created as a distinctly feminist role model whose mission was to bring the Amazon ideals of love, peace, and sexual equality to ʻa world torn by the hatred of men.ʼ”1 While the story of Wonder Woman began back in 1941, I did not discover her until much later, and my introduction didnʼt come at the hands of comic books. Instead, when I was a little girl I used to watch the television show starring Lynda Carter, and the animated television series, Super Friends.

  • Exploiting Intellectual Property Assets: Overview of Licensing, Franchising and Merchandising
    Exploiting Intellectual Property Assets: Overview of Licensing, Franchising and Merchandising Training of the Trainers Program on Effective Intellectual Property Asset Management by Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) WIPO & IPOM, Mongolia Ulaanbaatar, October 8 to 10, 2013 Susanna H.S. LEONG Associate Professor & Vice Dean NUS Business School, National University of Singapore Commercial exploitation of a trade mark • Commercial exploitation of a trade mark generally takes the form of either an assignment or a licence of the mark by the trade mark proprietor. • These two forms of commercial exploitation may appear similar at times but they are in fact quite distinct. • Simply put, an assignment of a trade mark involves an outright sale under which there is a one-off transfer of the personal property in the trade mark to the new owner. • Thereafter, the original trade mark proprietor (the assignor) ceases to have any rights over the trade mark. • In contrast, a licence of a trade mark involves only a granting of a limited right to use the mark (duration of use and geographical restrictions) by the trade mark proprietor to a particular person or persons. Assignment of a Trade Mark • A registered trade mark is assignable and transmissible in the same way as other personal or movable property, and is so assignable or transmissible either in connection with the goodwill of a business or independently. • An assignment of a registered trade mark is essentially a contract under which property rights in the trade mark are transferred from the trade mark proprietor (assignor) to the new owner (assignee) and contract law applies to issues such as formation of contract, terms and conditions, discharge of contractual obligations and remedies for breach.

  • Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: an Analysis Into Graphic Design's
    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.
