Abstract 1

Consumers today do not only seek to satisfy their needs any more, they also seek to create the
experience and symbols. One of the most important aspects of consumption that allows individual
expression is clothing. Since the clothing is able to provide the information of one's social status,
personality, or attractiveness, clothing can be defined as the medium of communication which provides
the wide array of social information. Among all demographic segments, teenagers are the most
sensitive group when it comes to clothing since today's teenagers present themselves as the 'trend
setters' who are going to accept new trends faster than anyone. Authors assume that current cultural
trends will be better illustrated by this group. Furthermore, they represent experimental consumers who
are 'fancy' to explore many new things. Therefore, teenagers are a very suitable marketing target group,
but very hard to analyse and predict.

including sleep deprivation, time and number of hours driving without rest, drugs with sedative action
(anxiolytics, hypnotics, tricyclic antidepressants and antihistamines), sleep disorders (OSAS,
narcolepsy), and alcohol consumption. There is a growing concern on health and safety in the
Transport Sector regarding drivers showing high risk of incidents of drowsiness on their job

considered high risk factors for development of suicidal ideation and behavior.

Passage 1
Excerpt from “The Poet, the Physician and the Birth of the Modern Vampire” by
Andrew McConnell Stott, published on October 16, 2014

A vampire is a thirsty thing, spreading metaphors like antigens through its victim’s blood. It is a rare
situation that is not revealingly defamiliarized by the introduction of a vampiric motif, whether it be
migration and industrial change in Dracula, adolescent sexuality in Twilight, or racism in True Blood.
Beyond undead life and the knack of becoming a bat, the vampire’s true power is its ability to induce
intense paranoia about the nature of social relations to ask, “who are the real bloodsuckers?”

This is certainly the case with the first fully realized vampire story in English, John William Polidori’s
1819 story, “The Vampyre.” It is Polidori’s text that establishes the vampire as we know it via a
reimagining of the feral mud-caked creatures of southeastern European legend as the elegant and
magnetic denizens of cosmopolitan assemblies and polite drawing rooms. "The Vampyre" is a product
of 1816, the “year without summer,” in which Lord Byron left England in the wake of a disintegrating
marriage and rumours of incest, sodomy and madness, to travel to the banks of Lake Geneva and there
loiter with Percy and Mary Shelley (then still Mary Godwin). Polidori served as Byron’s travelling
physician, and played an active role in the summer’s tensions and rivalries, as well as participating in
the famous night of ghost stories that produced Mary Shelley’s “hideous progeny,” Frankenstein; or,
The Modern Prometheus.

Like Frankenstein, "The Vampyre" draws extensively on the mood at Byron’s Villa Diodati. But
whereas Mary Shelley incorporated the orchestral thunderstorms that illuminated the lake and the
sublime mountain scenery that served as a backdrop to Victor Frankenstein’s struggles, Polidori’s text
is woven from the invisible dynamics of the Byron-Shelley circle, and especially the humiliations he
suffered at Byron’s hand.

A vampire may be a parched thing, spreading representations like antigens through its victim’s blood. It could
be an uncommon circumstance that's not revealingly defamiliarized by the presentation of a vampiric theme,
whether it be movement and mechanical alter in Dracula, youthful sexuality in Dusk, or prejudice in Genuine
Blood. Past undead life and the talent of getting to be a bat, the vampire’s genuine control is its capacity to
initiate strongly neurosis around the nature of social relations to inquire, “Who are the genuine
bloodsuckers?” This is certainly the case with the primary completely realized vampire story in English, John
William Polidori’s 1819 story, “The Vampyre.” It is Polidori’s content that builds up the vampire as we know it
by means of a reimagining of the wild mud-caked animals of southeastern European legend as the exquisite
and attractive inhabitants of catholic congregations and courteous.

Lord Byron said, “Year without summer,” (1816).

John William Polidori’s said, “The case with the first fully realized vampire story in English,” (1819).

Passage 2
Excerpt from “Worlds Without End” by Philip Ball, published on December 10, 2015.

William Barrett was puzzled by flames. As the young assistant of the eminent John Tyndall at the
Royal Institution in London in the 1860s, he noticed that flames seemed to be sensitive to high-pitched
sounds. They would become flattened and crescent-shaped, as Barrett put it, like a “sensitive, nervous
person uneasily starting and twitching at every little noise”. He was convinced that this “unseen
connection” was mediated by some immaterial intangible influence — it was, he admitted, an effect
“more appropriate for a conjuror’s stage than a scientific lecture table”. Certain people, Barrett
decided, were analogues of the sensitive flame, exquisitely attuned to vibrations that others could not
perceive, to “forces unrecognized by our senses”. He considered these persons able to receive
messages from supernormal spirit-beings existing in an intermediate state between the physical and the
spiritual — a phenomenon that might account for telepathy.

The fire confused William Barret. He found that flames appeared to be sensitive to high-pitched sounds as a
young assistant to the eminent John Tyndall at the Royal Institution in London in the 1860s.As Barret put it,
they will become flattened and crescent-shaped, like a' sensitive, anxious person uncomfortably beginning to
twitch at any little noise.' "He was persuaded that this" unseen relation "was mediated by some intangible
immaterial influence — it was, he acknowledged, an effect" more suitable than a scientific lecture table for the
stage of a conjuror.Barret determined that certain people were analogues of the sensitive flame, exquisitely
attuned to sensations that others do not detect, to "powers that our senses do not know."He found these
individuals capable of transmitting messages from supernormal spirit beings, a condition that may account for
telepathy, residing in an intermediate state between the physical and the spiritual.

Philip Ball "Worlds without End," (2015).

According to William Barret "he found that flames appeared to the sensitive high pitched to be distinguished
by John Tyndall, "(1860).
