In 2016 there were 110 000 new cases of HIV among 15 to 24-year-olds1. The aim of this study is to describe and analyse perceptions of HIV and HIV prevention among Xhosa youth in the township of Langa, Cape Town. In order to study this, I focus on the organisation loveLife and their employed peer educators called groundBREAKERs (gBs). To gain knowledge on what fuels the HIV epidemic in this setting I will examine their thoughts and notions of HIV/AIDS, sexuality and sexual behaviour in relation to the information that is available to them. Examining the socio-cultural context of HIV/AIDS is important to understand the spread and why HIV is not declining sufficiently in response to HIV preventative efforts. This thesis is based on ten weeks of fieldwork at loveLife’s Y-Centre in Langa. The material was gathered through semi-structured interviews and participant observation. To analyse the drivers for the spread of HIV among Xhosa youth an analytical tool of gender roles, with a main focus on masculinity, has been utilized.

    ODIN TEATRET, 55 YEARS E‐ISSN 2237‐2660 A Driving Force, Odin Teatret: Ur-Hamlet at Kronborg Castle A. Gabriela RamisI IOlympic College – Bremerton/Washington, United States of America ABSTRACT – A Driving Force, Odin Teatret: Ur-Hamlet at Kronborg Castle – Ur-Hamlet is Eugenio Barba’s production performed at the Elsinore castle in Denmark in 2006. Odin Teatret worked in collaboration with many actors, dancers and musicians from diverse cultures and theatrical traditions. This paper traces the relationships that Odin Teatret has established with other theatre groups in the world, their exchanges and the concept of the third theater. It analyzes the artistic practices that Odin Teatret usually applies and how the integration of actors with different Western and Eastern backgrounds was marked by their professional trajectory. There was a clear distinction between actors with diverse theatre training and also experience, and younger Western actors who took part in Odin Teatret’s workshops. Keywords: Esthetic Principles. Ethics. Marginality. Multiculturalism. Third Theater. RÉSUMÉ – Odin Teatret, une force motrice: Ur-Hamlet au château de Kronborg – Ur- Hamlet est une mise en scène par Eugenio Barba réalisée au château de Elsinore au Danemark en 2006. Odin Teatret a travaillé en collaboration avec de nombreux acteurs, danseurs et musiciens issus de cultures et de traditions théâtrales diverses. Cet article retrace les relations qu'Odin Teatret a établies avec d'autres groupes de théâtre dans le monde, leurs échanges, et le concept du troisième théâtre. Il analyse les pratiques artistiques qu'Odin Teatret applique habituellement et comment l'intégration des acteurs avec différents expériences professionelles occidental et oriental a été marquée par leur trajectoire professionnelle.

  • Robotic Surface Finishing of Curved Surfaces: Real-Time Identification of Surface Profile and Control
    ROBOTIC SURFACE FINISHING OF CURVED SURFACES: REAL-TIME IDENTIFICATION OF SURFACE PROFILE AND CONTROL A Thesis by YALUN WEN Submitted to the Office of Graduate and Professional Studies of Texas A&M University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Chair of Committee, Prabhakar Pagilla Committee Members, Pilwon Hur John Valasek Head of Department, Andreas Polycarpou May 2018 Major Subject: Mechanical Engineering Copyright 2018 Yalun Wen ABSTRACT This thesis introduces a complete design framework for robotic surface finishing of curved sur- faces. The system setup is subdivided into three key components: Real-time surface registration is accomplished by employing a proximity laser sensor mounted on the robot end-effector. The proximity sensor measurements coupled with the robot kinematics is employed to derive the co- ordinates of the projection points. The entire set of projection points is combined to form a grid upon which the surface normal and its normal profile are reconstructed. This surface normal pro- file description allows us to generate trajectories for both motion and force control. The trajectory generation is a variation of the time-scaling method to incorporate local surface normal informa- tion. Instead of using every local normal to form a trajectory, the trajectory is generated based on the local normal of a few sampled projection points. The local normal is estimated from the two consecutive sampled projection points to form the trajectory at the current time step while the end- effector is traveling between them. Therefore, a continuous stream of position goals is generated that would orient the robot end-effector to the local normal of the surface.

  • Universal Teleoperation ROS Interface for Robotic Manipulators
    BACHELORTHESIS Universal Teleoperation ROS Interface for Robotic Manipulators vorgelegt von Fabian Hendrik Wieczorek MIN-Fakultät Fachbereich Informatik Arbeitsbereich Technische Aspekte Multimodaler Systeme Studiengang: Software-System-Entwicklung Matrikelnummer: 6911629 Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Jianwei Zhang Zweitgutachter: Yannick Jonetzko Abstract In modern times, autonomous robotic systems play an increasingly important role, es- pecially in industry. But some tasks are too complex to automate and require a human operator to control the robot which is called teleoperations. In this case, robots can be controlled directly or they support the operator with a certain level of autonomy. Tele- operations can also be used to teach robots more natural movements with learning by demonstration. In this thesis, a teleoperation ROS-based interface that aims to let the operator control robotic arms is presented. The interface is unspecific in terms of in- put device and manipulator as long as the hardware supports ROS. The operator can directly control the end-effector of the robot in Cartesian space. Two existing open- source approaches, namely jog_control and jog_arm, were analysed. The jog_control package was extended in its functionality to support absolute jogging in addition to rel- ative jogging. The performance in terms of position error and time delay was evaluated with different tests. The results show that the simulated UR5 manipulator could be con- trolled without difficulties with time delays of around 0.35-0.5 seconds. The tests also revealed issues with infinite joints and collision avoidance in certain cases. Zusammenfassung In der heutigen Zeit spielen autonome Robotersysteme eine immer wichtigere Rolle, besonders in der Industrie. Allerdings gibt es Aufgaben, die zu komplex sind um sie zu automatisieren.
