Kids Readers. Medical Affiliations. What is Dementia? You may notice more notable changes such as withdrawing from social events, forgetting to take their medications, or they stop paying their bills. But if a conversation hasn't created change, it may be time to look elsewhere. Your loved one might need assistance with ADLs, act out in strange ways, or grow frustrated and angry with you, which can be stressful. There is less separation anxiety and newborns transition into their natural sleep cycle more quickly.

Since our launch in 1981, there has been proliferation of platforms, channels and catch-up services. In recent years, more people have started to watch television and video content distributed through the internet. Project Dovetail is at the heart of our development strategy. Its premise is that BARB’s services need to harness the strengths of two complementary data sources. - BARB’s panel of 5,100 homes provides representative viewing information that delivers programme reach, demographic viewing profiles and measurement of viewers per screen. - Device-based data from web servers provides granular evidence of how online TV is being watched. The TV Player Report is the first stage of Project Dovetail. It is a beta report that is based on the first outputs from BARB working with UK television broadcasters to generate data about all content delivered through the internet. This on-going development delivers a census- level dataset that details how different devices are being used to view online TV.

PART ONE THE DOCTOR AND HIS COMPANIONS 1 1 A Young-Old Face Out with the New and in with the Old in Doctor Who Richard Hewett Introduction ‘I approve of your new face, Doctor - so much more like mine.’ This line, spoken by the now ancient, enervated and seemingly dying Davros in ‘The Magician’s Apprentice’, is just one of many age-related barbs directed at the Twelfth Doctor during Peter Capaldi’s reign, serving as a constant reminder that the Time Lord is no longer (if, indeed, his on-screen self ever was)1 a young man. Throughout his tenure, friends and foes alike highlighted the latest incarnation’s wrinkled, somewhat cadaverous visage, grey hair, and scrawny body, the Doctor being variously described as a ‘desiccated man crone’ (‘Robot of Sherwood’), a ‘grey-haired stick insect’ (‘Listen’), and a ‘skeleton man’ (‘Last Christmas’).

  • Angela G. Sacher
    Translating Johanna Kinkel’s Hans Ibeles in London by Angela G. Sacher A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Translation Studies Department of Modern Languages and Cultural Studies University of Alberta © Angela G. Sacher, 2016 Abstract The focus of this dissertation is an annotated, academic English translation of Johanna Kinkel’s nineteenth-century, semi-autobiographical novel, Hans Ibeles in London: Ein Familienbild aus dem Flüchtlingsleben, published posthumously by Cotta in 1860. Kinkel was an advocate for the emancipation of women whose career pursuits ranged from that of musical conductor, concert pianist, composer, pedagogue, and musicologist, to revolutionary and political activist and writer. Her novel, written while she lived in exile in London with her husband, Gottfried, and their four children subsequent to the 1848 revolutionary uprisings in Germany, illuminates the historical and cultural specificities of the revolution’s events and its aftermath; it sheds light on the suffering and difficulties of the exilic experience, particularly from the perspective of a woman. In writing this novel, Kinkel sought a specific literary space in which she could process her thoughts and feelings about the reality of displacement and loss. The translation of Kinkel’s novel is preceded by a critical introduction that includes an overview of theory as it applies to exile literature and highlights the parallels between the process of translation and the condition of exile, ultimately showing how Kinkel’s life becomes a project of translation. In this context, this translation invites reflection on how aspects of the exilic experience relate to the act of translation and in this way adds to the evolving body of critical commentary on Kinkel and her novel—considering it both as an object of translation into English and as a document of the problem of “translation” involved in the experience of exile.

  • Beyond Gender?
    Beyond gender? Abstract The purpose of this project is to look at the importance gender in the BBC show Doctor Who. This has been achieved by selecting ten focus characters for close analysis; five companions and five incarnations of the Doctor. The chosen characters are; Barbara Wright and the First Doctor, Tegan Jovanka and the Fifth Doctor, Ace and the Seventh Doctor, Rose Tyler and the Ninth Doctor, and finally Donna Noble and the Tenth Doctor. The analysis was based on a poststructuralist approach to the selected storylines of the show, in particular how the characters are influenced by gender roles and gender expectations. What this analysis showed was a tendency to stay close to the socially accepted norms of behaviour by males and females individually, although examples of pushing the boundary is also present. Based on the analysis, the discussion looked first at what values and personality traits which are shared by the selected companions, and secondly how the character of the Doctor has changed through the more than 50 years the show has existed. Interestingly enough, in both cases a tendency of a more mixed approach towards gender was uncovered, rather than an actual progress with the goal of achieving gender equality for the Time Lord and his companions. The overall purpose of this project is to answer; What is the importance of gender in relations to the characterisation of the Doctor and his female companions, in BBC’s Doctor Who, and how have these followed the progress of gender relations during the 54 years the show has been produced? 1 Table of content 1.0 Introduction ................................................................................................................................................
