Esta tese examina a constru??o medial do portugu?s do Brasil (PB). Trata-se de uma constru??o que descreve um evento causativo, em que um participante sujeito n?o-humano ? afetado por uma a??o que n?o emana dele. Interessa-nos investigar essa constru??o a partir de suas fun??es sem?ntico-cognitivas e discursivopragm?ticas, suas caracter?sticas espec?ficas, motiva??es e contexto discursivo em que seu uso ? recorrente. Para tanto, buscamos responder ?s seguintes quest?es: qual a configura??o estrutural protot?pica da constru??o medial (CM) no Portugu?s do Brasil? Quais s?o suas fun??es discursivas espec?ficas? Qual ? o grau de transitividade da CM com base nas propriedades propostas por Hopper e Thompson (1980)? Partimos do pressuposto de que a constru??o medial possui estrutura pr?pria que particulariza sua dimens?o significativa, garantindo um certo distanciamento entre o respons?vel pelo evento e a entidade afetada. A fundamenta??o te?rica prov?m da Lingu?stica Funcional Centrada no Uso (FURTADO DA CUNHA; BISPO; SILVA, 2013). ? uma pesquisa de natureza qualitativo-interpretativista que tem como prioridade a an?lise de ocorr?ncias oriundas de textos produzidos por usu?rios da l?ngua portuguesa do Brasil em situa??o efetiva de comunica??o. Os dados emp?ricos analisados prov?m de textos eletr?nicos dispon?veis no s?tio www.reclameaqui.com.br. Os resultados revelaram a exist?ncia de diferentes configura??es em portugu?s para a constru??o medial, sendo a protot?pica a formada por SN+V. Do ponto de vista morfossint?tico e sem?ntico, a constru??o expressa um sujeito afetado por uma a??o que n?o parte dele. Quanto ao aspecto pragm?tico, a constru??o expressa um evento que parece ter como prop?sito enfatizar o argumento afetado e ignorar, intencionalmente ou n?o, o agente ou o causativo, por ser irrelevante para o falante/ouvinte na situa??o de comunica??o.
This thesis examines the medial construction of the Portuguese of Brazil (PB). It is a construction which describes a causative event in which a non-human subject participant is affected by an action that does not originate from itself. Thus, we are interested in investigating this type of construction, its specific characteristics, motivations and discursive context from its semantic- cognitive and discoursive - pragmatic functions. The research questions are: what is the prototypical structural configuration of the medial construction (MC) in the Portuguese of Brazil? What are its specific discoursive functions? What is the degree of MC transitivity based on the properties proposed by Hopper and Thompson (1980)? We assume that the medial construction has its own structure which particularizes its significant dimension, thus ensuring a certain distance between the one in charge of the event and the affected entity. The theoretical and methodological assumptions is founded on Usage-based Functional Linguistics (FURTADO DA CUNHA; BISPO; SILVA, 2013). It is a research of qualitative- interpretative nature that has prioritized the analysis of occurrences arising from texts produced by users of the Brazilian Portuguese language in effective communicative situation. The database for this study is electronic texts available on the website www.reclameaqui.com.br. The results revealed the existence of different configurations of the medial construction in the Brazilian Portuguese, having as prototypical the one formed by SN + V. From the morphosyntactic and semantic point of view, the construction expresses a subject affected by an action that does not part from itself. As for the pragmatic aspect, the construction expresses an event that seems to have the purpose to emphasize the affected argument and to ignore, intentionally or not, the agent or the causative, since it is irrelevant to the speaker/ listener in the contextual situation.

A subluxação dorsal da articulação interfalângica proximal do membro pélvico de equinos é uma afecção locomotora rara que se manifesta com claudicação intermitente. A tenectomia do flexor digital medial, conhecido também como cabeça medial do tendão flexor digital profundo, é indicada em animais que apresentam esta enfermidade. Foi avaliada a influência da tenectomia do flexor digital medial com relação ao grau de claudicação; perimetria da área operada; ângulos articulares das articulações metatarsofalângica e interfalângicas proximal e distal; e mensurações do casco, que incluíram comprimento de pinça (P), ângulo de pinça (αP), ângulo dos talões lateral (αTL) e medial (αTM), altura dos talões lateral (aTM) e medial (aTL), e largura e comprimento de casco e ranilha. Neste contexto, foi realizada tenectomia do flexor digital medial no membro pélvico direito em seis equinos sadios, permanecendo o membro pélvico esquerdo como controle. Ambos os membros foram avaliados nos momentos pré-operatório (M0) e aos 15 (M15), 30 (M30) e 60 (M60) dias após a cirurgia. Para comparação dos dados entre momentos e membros foi realizada análise de variância. Os valores inferiores ao de significância (p<0,050) foram submetidos ao teste de Tukey. A tenectomia do flexor digital medial provocou discreto aumento no comprimento de pinça, além de redução no ângulo dorsal da articulação interfalângica proximal, quando comparando com o membro não operado. A técnica cirúrgica não causou alterações indesejáveis permanentes dos ângulos articulares ou das medidas dos cascos. O critério de inclusão cirúrgica deve ser avaliado em estudos clínicos
Dorsal subluxation of the proximal interphalangeal joint of the hind limb is a rare locomotor condition manifested by intermittent lameness. Tenectomy of the medial digital flexor, also known as medial head of the deep digital flexor tendon, is indicated in animals suffering from this condition. We assessed the influence of tenectomy of the medial digital flexor regarding degree of lameness; perimeter of limb at the surgery site; distal articular angles of the metatarsophalangeal, as well as proximal and distal interphalangeal joints; and measures of the hoof, including toe length (P), toe angle (αP), angle of the lateral (αTL) and medial (αTM) heels, height of the lateral (aTL) and medial (aTM) heels, and width and length of hoof and frog. Thus, tenectomy of the medial digital flexor of the right hind limb was performed in six sound horses. The left hind limb was considered as a control limb. Both, right and left limbs were evaluated before surgery (M0), and 15 (M15), 30 (M30) and 60 (M60) days after surgery. In order to compare the data regarding moments and limbs, analysis of variance was performed. Values below the significant level (p<0.05) were analyzed using the Tukey’s test. Tenectomy of the medial digital flexor caused a mild increase of the toe length, and diminution of dorsal angle of the proximal interphalangeal joint when compared with the control limb. This surgical technique did not cause significant permanent alterations of joint angles or hoof measures. Surgical inclusion criteria should be further evaluated in clinical studies

Full textAbstract:
Plantar fasciitis is the most common disorder of the foot and is characterised by pain involving the inferomedial aspect of the heel that is exacerbated by activity after periods of non-weightbearing. Despite an abundance of anecdotal evidence indicating that aberrant function of the foot is an aetiological factor in the development of plantar heel pain, there is little scientific evidence linking abnormal arch mechanics with plantar fasciitis. The primary purpose of this thesis was to investigate the biomechanics of plantar fasciitis by evaluating the sagittal plane kinematics and kinetics of the medial longitudinal arch during gait. Specifically, a low-dose motion X-ray technique, known as digital fluoroscopy, was used to evaluate the sagittal plane kinematics of the arch and a capacitance-based pressure plate was used to determine regional vertical ground reaction forces acting on the sole of the foot during gait.
Since digital fluoroscopy has not been widely used in gait analysis, the methodological phase of this study concentrated on identifying and quantifying the inherent limitations and potential errors in employing fluoroscopy as a gait analysis technique. In particular, the methodological phase evaluated the potential impact of the physical restrictions of the equipment on gait and the acquisition of gait data, as well as the magnitude of the distortion errors inherent in fluoroscopic images of the medial longitudinal arch. The findings indicate that digital fluoroscopy may be effectively used as a two-dimensional motion analysis technique for the evaluation of movement of the medial longitudinal arch during walking. The methodological studies demonstrate that the structural limitations of modem fluoroscopic systems are unlikely to substantially influence the acquisition of gait data. However, out-ofplane motion of osseous segments of the foot and the temporal response of the imaging system represent the major shortcomings of employing fluoroscopy as a gait analysis tool. Tests conducted on foot models and in vivo indicated that the application of published dist01iion correction procedures provided a method that is highly repeatable, with fluoroscopic image enors constituting less than 5 percent of the movement range.
In the experimental phase of this thesis, a digital fluoroscope and a pressure platform were used to evaluate the kinematics and kinetics of the medial longitudinal arch in people with and without plantar fasciitis. While pressure analysis demonstrated that patients with plantar fasciitis make gait adjustments that reduce the level of force beneath the rearfoot and forefoot of the symptomatic foot, fluoroscopy indicated that neither the dynamic shape nor the motion of the medial longitudinal arch differed between subjects with and without heel pain. Consequently, abnonnal arch shape and motion are not associated with the progression of plantar fasciitis. The peak arch angle was, however, positively correlated to the increased fascial thickness that was prototypic of plantar fasciitis. Thus, arch mechanics may play an important secondary role in plantar fasciitis by modifying the severity of heel pain, once present. In addition, increased loading and flexion of the digits was observed in patients with heel pain, suggesting that digital function plays an important, and previously unidentified, protective role in plantar fasciitis by bracing the medial longitudinal arch and thereby reducing the loading in the plantar fascia. The findings also suggest that plantar fasciitis may represent a bilateral process and raise questions regarding the rationale behind current treatments aimed at modifying the mechanics of the medial longitudinal arch in heel pain.

Full textAbstract:
Computed tomography is a very useful technic which allow non-invasive diagnosis in many applications for example is used with success in industry and medicine. However, manual analysis of the interesting structures can be tedious and extremely time consuming, or even impossible due its complexity. Therefore in this thesis we study and develop discrete geometry and topology algorithms suitable for use in many practical applications, especially, in the problem of automatic quantitative analysis of the human airway trees based on computed tomography images. In the first part, we define basic notions used in discrete topology and geometry then we showed that several class of discrete methods like skeletonisation algorithms, medial axes, tunnels closing algorithms and tangent estimators, are widely used in several different practical application. The second part consist of a proposition and theory of a new methods for solving particular problems. We introduced two new medial axis filtering method. The hierarchical scale medial axis which is based on previously proposed scale axis transform, however, is free of drawbacks introduced in the previously proposed method and the discrete adaptive medial axis where the filtering parameter is dynamically adapted to the local size of the object. In this part we also introduced an efficient and parameter less new tangent estimators along three-dimensional discrete curves, called 3D maximal segment tangent direction. Finally, we showed that discrete geometry and topology algorithms can be useful in the problem of quantitative analysis of the human airway trees based on computed tomography images. According to proposed in the literature design of such system we applied discrete topology and geometry algorithms to solve particular problems at each step of the quantitative analysis process. First, we propose a robust method for segmenting airway tree from CT datasets. The method is based on the tunnel closing algorithm and is used as a tool to repair, damaged by acquisition errors, CT images. We also proposed an algorithm for creation of an artificial model of the bronchial tree and we used such model to validate algorithms presented in this work. Then, we compare the quality of different algorithms using set of experiments conducted on computer phantoms and real CT dataset. We show that recently proposed methods which works in cubical complex framework, together with methods introduced in this work can overcome problems reported in the literature and can be a good basis for the further implementation of the system for automatic quantification of bronchial tree properties

Wearable computers are becoming a widespread reality. Driven by a quest for sensorial ultrability (ultra-ability) and control of our environment and bodies, we search for ever more intimate solutions to increase our innate physical capacities using technology. Finger-wearable devices for augmentation are nowadays part of the mainstream wearable fashion and research agenda, because of their uniquely convenient placement on the human body and proximity to the most expressive of limbs - the fingers. This thesis proposes a consideration of finger augmenting devices as a new class of instruments, rather than an opportunistic approach for positioning sensors and actuators. Out of a comprehensive survey of the work on finger augmentation, I put forward a definition for finger augmentation, a classification framework, and design guidelines for creating new finger-worn devices. I present four designs of finger-augmenters, their technical underpinnings, evaluation methods and theoretical contributions. Assistance is ubiquitous throughout the spectrum of technological benefit, advancing those with specific needs for recovery or rehabilitation, as well as those looking to go beyond human ability. This cross-cutting design principle for human-computer interfaces is uncontested yet underutilized. This thesis conceptualizes the Assistive Augmentation spectrum as a metaphor for the flexible interpretability of technology to simultaneously help many communities. The concrete prototypes I hereby present: EyeRing, FingerReader, Mobile-FingerReader and MusicReader, exemplify this idea and suggest an inclusive path of technology development.

Full textAbstract:
Digital media have become an integral part of many people’s everyday lives and constitute an intimate presence therein. Utilizing the concept of digital intimacy to focus on these recent developments, this doctoral dissertation takes the perspectives of feminist cultural studies and affect theory to analyze how digital media are becoming more intimate and how in turn intimacy is remediated within digital cultures. This research brings together three different strategic examples of digital intimacy. The first is chosen from the context of online hate and harassment, and works to counteract digital forms of intimidation. The second is from the world of software development training initiatives tailored for women and designed to make them digitally intimate. The third investigates the digital subculture around ASMR (‘autonomous sensory meridian response’), which is an intimate multi-sensory stimulation induced by such things as online video clips. It is argued that these three initiatives are good illustrations of contemporary gender relations in digital cultures, and also do digital media differently. This means that they develop and apply sometimes straightforward, sometimes rather playful strategies to counteract gender-based inimicalities (such as forms of discrimination or exclusion, or objectification) within digital cultures. The thesis argues that such digitally intimate strategies can be utilized analytically in order to contribute to contemporary feminist internet politics.Digitala medier har blivit en integrerad del av och en intim närvaro i många människors vardag. Med hjälp av begreppet digital intimitet, som tar dessa förändringar på allvar, analyserar denna avhandling hur digitala medier blir mer intima och hur intimitet remedieras i digitala kulturer. Detta görs utifrån perspektiv hämtade från feministiska kulturstudier och affektteori. Tre olika strategiska exempel på digital intimitet diskuteras. Det första exemplet hanterar näthat och trakasserier online och utgör ett slags motståndsstrategier. Det andra handlar om utbildningsinitiativ inom programmering riktade till kvinnor, ämnade att ge kvinnor större digital tillgång, närhet och närvaro. Det tredje fallet undersöker den digitala subkulturen kring ASMR (’autonomous sensory meridian response’), en intim multi-sensorisk stimulering som ofta understöds av videoklipp online. Det hävdas här att dessa strategiska exempel, först och främst, synliggör samtida genusrelationer i digitala kulturer, men även visar hur digitala medier gör genus på nya sätt. Med detta menas att i medierna både bevaras genuskonventioner och tillämpas nya, ibland lekfulla strategier för att motverka könsrelaterad fientlighet inom digitala kulturer. Avhandlingen hävdar att de tre studerade strategierna för digital intimitet kan användas analytiskt för att bidra till en samtida feministisk internetpolitik.

Internet está cambiando la forma en que las personas en África y en todo el mundo se comunican. También ha impactado enormemente la forma en que operan los medios de comunicación. En muchos países, las personas dependen cada vez menos de los medios tradicionales (periódicos, revistas, radio, televisión) para la información y la comunicación. Las organizaciones tradicionales de periódicos, al igual que los periodistas en África y en todo el mundo, están aprendiendo a adaptarse y aceptar la nueva realidad tecnológica. Si bien la revolución de Internet en África sigue evolucionando, ha creado oportunidades y desafíos que están redefiniendo la forma en que los periódicos, los periodistas y la audiencia acceden y difunden información.
Esta investigación examina el impacto de la transición digital en los periodistas de los periódicos de África que utilizan Nigeria y Sudáfrica como estudios de caso. Revisa el efecto y la creciente importancia de Internet, los periódicos en línea y las redes sociales, en la configuración del futuro del periodismo impreso, el negocio de los periódicos y la interacción de la audiencia en ambos países. La investigación sostiene que los nuevos medios están redefiniendo el periodismo en Nigeria y Sudáfrica. No solo ha creado nuevos tipos de periodistas y público que ya no son receptores pasivos de las noticias, sino que también ha lanzado nuevos modelos de negocios para la industria de las noticias que se enfrentan a la saturación severa.
La investigación concluye que este cambio ha sido claro y lejano. Alcanzar implicaciones para los periodistas, así como para los periódicos y su audiencia; que si los periodistas en Nigeria y Sudáfrica son conscientes de la importancia y las interrupciones causadas por la nueva fase en la evolución de los medios de comunicación, todavía falta una fórmula coherente para enfrentar los desafíos y hay muchos factores más allá del alcance de los periodistas que están configurando su reacción.The Internet is changing how people in Africa and around the world communicate. It has also greatly impacted the way the media operates. In many countries, people are depending less and less on the traditional media (newspapers, magazines, radio, television) for information and communication. Traditional newspaper organisations as we l as journalists in Africa and around the world are learning to adapt and come to terms with the new technological reality. While the Internet revolution in Africa is still evolving, it has created opportunities and challenges that are redefining the way newspapers, journalists and the audience access and disseminate information. This research examines the impact of the digital transition on newspaper journalists in Africa using Nigeria and South Africa as case studies. It reviews the effect and growing importance of the Internet, online newspapers and social media, in shaping the future of print journalism, the newspaper business and audience interaction in both countries. The research argues hat new media is redefining journalism in Nigeria and South Africa. It has not only created new kinds of journalists and audience who are no longer passive receptors of news, it has thrown up new business models for the news industry facing severe glut. The research concludes that this change has clear and far - Reaching implications for journalists as well as newspapers and their audience; that if journalists in Nigeria and South Africa are aware of the importance and disruptions wrought by the new phase in the evolution of the media, there is still missing a coherent formula in dealing with the challenges and that there are a lot of factors some beyond the purview of journalists that are shaping their reaction.

Uppsatsens teoretiska ramverk kretsar runt det accelererande samhället samt de effekter som de digitala medierna har inneburit för människan. Däribland redogörs det för upplevelsen av tid, tidspress, medierad interaktion och digital bundenhet. Studien genomfördes med en deltagande observation på digital detox-lägret Villa Insikt i norra Sverige den 17-19 november 2017. Materialet består bland annat av en intervju med kursledaren, informella samtal med densamme och övriga deltagare, fältanteckningar samt analys av broschyrer och lägrets hemsida. Resultatet visar att digitala medier, enligt detox-lägret, har inneburit en rad olika problem för människor. Trots detta ges inga konstruktiva förslag för hur dessa problem ska lösas. Uppsatsens huvudsakliga slutsats är således att detoxen enbart fungerar som ett konstaterande över att människors bundenhet och förhållningssätt till de digitala medierna är problematisk samt att detoxen inte innebär någon större förändring för deltagarna som istället individuellt måste försöka att lösa de problem som detoxen påvisar genom insikt och digital strategi.

Syfte: att sammanställa vad som finns publicerat om digital avtrycksteknik och jämföra denna teknik med konventionell avtrycksteknik för fast kron- och broprotetik och på så sätt underlätta för operatörer att välja metod.Material och metod: litteratursökningar gjordes via Pubmed, Science Direct och genom handsökning i International Journal of Computerized Dentistry och Quintessence International. Informationssökningar gjordes även via fabrikörernas hemsidor och i litteratur vid Malmö Högskolas Odontologiska bibliotek.Resultat: det finns ett fåtal publikationer, varav de flesta är in vitro studier. De gav underlag för en jämförande diskussion av följande punkter: tidseffektivitet och användarvänlighet, precision och passform, kostnad, miljövänlighet samt patientvänlighet.Konklusion: denna litteraturstudie visar att på grundval av de publikationer som finns idag så fungerar den digitala avtryckstekniken tillfredsställande och fullt jämförbart med konventionell teknik för fast kron- och broprotetik.Det finns idag vissa belägg för att digitala tekniker kan ersätta den konventionella vad gäller precision. Det bör dock påpekas att de studier som finns tillgängliga idag är in vitro och dessa behöver kompletteras med och verifieras genom kliniska studier.Objective: to compile what is published on digital impression techniques, and to compare this with the conventional techniques for fixed crown and bridge prostheses and thus make it easier for operators to choose between the two.Material and Methods: literature searches were done via PubMed, Science Direct, and through hand search in the International Journal of Computerized Dentistry and Quintessence International. Information searches were also made through the manufacturers’ websites and in reference literature at Malmö University Dental Library.Results: there are now a few numbers of studies available, most of them in vitro studies. These publications gave a basis for a comparative discussion of the following points: time efficiency and ease of use, accuracy and fit, cost, environmental friendliness and patient comfort.Conclusion: this study shows that on the basis of the publications that are available today the digital impression technology is satisfactory and fully comparable with conventional technology for fixed crown and bridge prostheses.There is some evidence that digital technologies can replace the conventional techniques in terms of precision. It should be noted, however, that the studies available today are in vitro and need to be supplemented with and verified by clinical studies.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is a literature review exploring previous research on digital learning at school and the competence required both of teachers and pupils. Furthermore, it aims to point out advantages and disadvantages of digital tools in teaching at school by focusing on foreign language teaching. Previous studies indicate that using digital tools in school help to individualize teaching in order to consider the pupils’ individual needs in learning. Recent studies document as well that the teachers’ well-conceived teaching designs are important for target-aimed learning success. According to referred literature should teaching with help of media not replace the teacher in class but rather accompany it. There is however not much research related to digital multimedia schoolbooks which aim to cover all content in a subject. This paper presents two digital schoolbooks for German at Swedish schools in reference to underlying didactic parameters and in comparison, to digital tools. The paper refers both German and Swedish perspectives on digital learning. Finally, the paper deals with the question how far school providers are prepared to implement digital learning at school in order to fulfil their own ambitions.

As interactors we often allude to a sense of presence, of being there, when experiencing interactive artifacts. Digital technologies can create a sense of presence within a synthetic environment, that of being in a technologically mediated space. As a result, ideas of space and place are fundamental to the use of digital media. Related metaphors pervade our language and use of technology; we explore virtual worlds, surf online, and chat in rooms.
The field of humanist geography can be used to examine digital media practice across several domains. Exploring the concept of place in relationship to a video game, website, or mixed reality environments question contemporary definitions of presence. As a result, a theoretical foundation for the design of artifacts may create a strong sense of place, and thus enhance our understanding of presence.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis addresses authenticity and integrity of medical images using watermarking. Hospital Information Systems (HIS), Radiology Information Systems (RIS) and Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (P ACS) now form the information infrastructure for today's healthcare as these provide new ways to store, access and distribute medical data that also involve some security risk. Watermarking can be seen as an additional tool for security measures. As the medical tradition is very strict with the quality of biomedical images, the watermarking method must be reversible or if not, region of Interest (ROI) needs to be defined and left intact. Watermarking should also serve as an integrity control and should be able to authenticate the medical image. Three watermarking techniques were proposed. First, Strict Authentication Watermarking (SAW) embeds the digital signature of the image in the ROI and the image can be reverted back to its original value bit by bit if required. Second, Strict Authentication Watermarking with JPEG Compression (SAW-JPEG) uses the same principal as SAW, but is able to survive some degree of JPEG compression. Third, Authentication Watermarking with Tamper Detection and Recovery (AW-TDR) is able to localise tampering, whilst simultaneously reconstructing the original image.

Full textAbstract:
The digital transformation of businesses has come a long way; however, research and reports are showing how some industries has fallen behind in the progress. This research aimed at identifying driving factors that are essential in the progression of digitalization and use of digital capabilities. The central research question was as follows: What strategic action points should businesses within the real estate industry adopt individually and together in order to support a steady development towards becoming a digitally dextrous industry? The research was performed as a case study, using the real estate industry as an example. The case study consisted of 8 semi structured interviews, performed with representatives of various companies from the real estate value chain. Using Soule et. al.s (2016) M-PWR model as an analytical foundation, three action points, essential for businesses in digitally laggarding industries, were defined: 1. Reforming the organizational structure for better agility and empowerment of the workforce. 2. Create channels and methods encouraging collaborations between various actors. 3. Develop structured processes for identifying, extracting and managing available resources.Den digitala transformationen har påverkat verksamheter stort, dock visar forskning och rapporter på hur somliga industrier har hamnat på efterkälke i utvecklingen. Den här studien syftar till att identifiera drivande faktorer som är nödvändiga i framskridandet av digitalisering och användandet av digitala resurser. Den centrala frågeställningen i studien var följande: Vilka strategiska åtgärder, så kallade ”action points”, borde verksamheter inom fastighetsbranschen införa, gemensamt och individuellt, för att främja utvecklingen mot digital dexteritet inom branschen? Utredningen utfördes som en fallstudie där fastighetsbranschen användes som ett exempel. Fallstudien bestod av 8 semistrukturerade intervjuer, utförda tillsammans med representanter från olika verksamheter inom värdekedjan. Genom att använda Soule et. al.s (2016) M-PWR-modell som analytiskt underlag identifierades tre strategiska åtgärder som ansågs nödvändiga för företag verksamma inom industrier som har en långsam digitaliseringstakt: 1. Omorganisera organisationsstrukturen för ökad agilitet och förstärkt arbetskraft. 2. Skapa kanaler och metoder som uppmuntrar samarbeten mellan olika aktörer. 3. Utveckla strukturerade processer för identifiering, extrahering och hantering av tillgängliga resurser.

This thesis is an investigation that the main objective is to study proximity digital media in Catalonia. The theoretical framework establishes the foundations on which stands the sector: proximity communication and digital journalism (or cyberjournalism). The phenomenon of proximity digital media in Catalonia is analysed through the study of a paradigmatic case, which is the Group Nació Digital (GND). It was chosen for this research because it is considered a success model for the expansion of recent years, audience figures reached and a solvent business model. It has been studied the journalism and business model with a special attention to their territorial editions. Mainly it is used qualitative methodology that includes case of study and in-depth and semi-structured interviews to the management team of the Group and the responsibles for proximity digital media. Moreover a quantitative technique, content analysis, is also used to extend the study. The main conclusion is that the key to success has been the model of proximity information, which allowed the expansion and growth of the audience, and the technology, which is in constant innovation and has an own management system.Aquesta tesi doctoral és una investigació que té com a objectiu estudiar els mitjans digitals de proximitat a Catalunya.

El fenomen dels mitjans digitals de proximitat a Catalunya s’analitza a través de l’estudi d’un cas paradigmàtic, el del Grup Nació Digital (GND). De Nació Digital se n’ha estudiat el model periodístic i el de negoci fent especial atenció a les seves edicions territorials. Principalment s’ha utilitzat la metodologia qualitativa amb les tècniques de l’estudi de cas i les entrevistes en profunditat i semiestructurades a l’equip directiu del Grup, així com als responsables dels mitjans digitals de proximitat. Aquesta metodologia s’ha combinat amb la quantitativa a través de l’anàlisi de contingut. La principal conclusió és que les claus de l’èxit han estat el model d’informació de proximitat, que ha permès l’expansió i creixement de l’audiència, i la tecnologia, amb una innovació constant i un sistema de gestió propi.

ITC/USA 2006 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Second Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 23-26, 2006 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, CaliforniaMost modern digital filtering is done by taking the average (mean) of a signal or some weighted average. Another method is to use feedback, which more closely resembles how analog filters with feedback operate. In the case of low pass filters, all these methods tend to give a trade off in getting the signal to pass while attenuating the higher frequency noise. An alternative is to use a median filter, which selects the mid value of a group of points. While this is not as computationally simple as other filters, it allows for the attenuation of noise while allowing sudden changes in signal level to pass thru unaltered. This paper discusses the characteristics of median filters and methods of implementing them.

The main purpose of this essay is investigating to which extent individuals withcompetence in film and photography can identify digitally processed material. Thestudy uses a questionnaire to create a statistical picture of the result. The participantsin the survey are part of a selected demographic consisting of current students atDalarna University (within film production) as well as graduated students. Throughthe survey, these individuals are divided into different groups based on theircompetence in film and photography. The survey consists of two tests whereparticipants view, compare and assess a material that has been filmed with a diffusingcamera filter (Tiffen pro mist) and a material that has been processed digitally torecreate the same effect. What diffusion is and how it affects the image will also bepresented in the text. A total of 36 individuals participated in the study. The results donot show a definitive answer for any of the competence groups. This indicates that inthe case of diffusion there does not necessarily exist any especially strong advantagesto using a genuine camera filter. What can be established however, is that a higher levelof competence in film and photography is synonymous with a general, overallknowledge of camera filters and digital processing.Det huvudsakliga syftet med denna uppsatts är att undersöka huruvida individer medkompetens inom film och foto kan identifiera digitalt bearbetat material. Studienkommer med hjälp av en enkät skapa en statistiks bild av ett stickprov. Deltagarna ienkäten är en utvald demografi bestående av nuvarande studenter vid HögskolanDalarna (inom filmproduktion) och även examinerade studenter. Dessa individer delasgenom enkäten upp i olika grupper baserad på deras kompetens inom film och foto.Själva enkäten består av två tester där deltagare bes skilja på ett material som är filmatmed ett diffuserande kamerafilter (Tiffen pro mist) och ett material som behandlatsdigitalt för att återskapa samma effekt. Vad diffusion är och hur det påverkar bildenkommer också utvecklas i texten. Totalt har 36 individer deltagit i studien, resultatetvisar inte något definitivt svar i frågeställningen för någon av kompetensgrupperna.Detta tyder på att det i fallet för diffusion inte nödvändigtvis finns en särskilt starkfördel med att använda ett analogt kamerafilter. Det som dock kan fastställas är att enhögre kompetens inom film och foto innebär en övergripande generell kunskap omkamerafilter och den digitala processen.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, media convergence strategies and added value of digital news services are investigated, focusing on the newspaper industry and it’s audience. Convergence implies that previously unalike areas come together, approaching a common goal. A subordinate concept of convergence, i.e., media convergence, is a concept that has become common when denoting a range of processes within the production of media content, its distribution and consumption. Newspapers are one of many so-called publishing channels that provide information and entertainment. They have traditionally been printed on paper, but today’s digital technology makes it possible to provide newspapers through a number of different channels. The current strategy used by newspaper companies involves a process of convergence mainly regarding multiple publishing. A newspaper company interested in publishing content through multiple channels has to adapt its production workflow to produce content not only for the traditional printed edition, but also for the other channels. In this thesis, a generalized value chain involving four main stages illustrates the production workflow at a newspaper company in relation to the convergence processes. The four stages are creation, packaging, distribution and consumption of content. One of the aims of this thesis is to assess how the views and strategies of newspaper companies concerning media convergence correspond with the opinions and views concerning convergence of their audience. In order to discuss this, seven types of media convergence are suggested. Furthermore, the thesis explores how the newspaper industry is relating to the processes of convergence, using two examples: newspaper companies’ ventures into the use of moving images, and the newspaper companies’ strategies for a future epaper edition. Among the findings of this thesis are that digital news services can add value to a newspaper company, however that the digital news services investigated, in their current form, are not sophisticated enough to give added value as perceived by the audience. The findings of the thesis are based on studies of the newspaper industry in Sweden and reflect specific newspaper companies, their strategies, production workflow and ventures from 2002 to 2007. The methods used have mainly been case studies and surveys.QC 20100622

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study is to examine young peoples' perception of their media criticial competence in relation to digital news. The study is based on quantitative research interviews with young people (15-17 years) and qualitative interviews with people in the same age group as well as teachers and international media professionals.This study's theoretical point of departure is McQuail´s observation that peoples' values and views to a great extent are influenced by the media. Another source of theoretical inspiration was Haberman's ideas about how a diversity of views and arguments increase the citizens' ability to reflect critically on social developments - maybe even more so than in societies with independent media and "neutral" news.The study shows that the young generation of web based news consumers assumes that it is very important to be an aware and critical consumer but also that they do not feel sufficiently equipped with the right tools required to understand the long-term impact and effect of the media reporting online. Young people basically seemed to acquire their knowledge about media by doing and learning on their own. Surprisingly, according to the young people that were interviewed for this project, the schools seemed to play a secondary role in the development of their media critical capacity. Family and friends also played a limited role in this context.

This research aims to develop and evaluate a design framework for creating
digital devices that support the exploration of animal behaviors in the wild. In order to
carry out this work, it both studies ethology’s foundational ideas through literature and
also examines the contemporary principles at a rainforest field station through on-site
ethnographies, workshops, design projects, and interactive performances.
Based upon these personal and practical investigations, this research then
synthesizes a framework to support digital-ethological practice. Finally, this framework is
utilized to design additional ethological expeditions and activities in order to assess the
framework itself. The resulting framework encourages digital technology that supports
four key concepts. Technological Agency pushes for devices that promote understanding
of their own internal functions. The tenet of Contextual Crafting leads designers and
ethologists to create devices in close proximity to their intended use. Behavioral
Immersion promotes visceral interactions between the digital and organismal agents
involved. Finally, Open-Endedness challenges researchers to create adaptable tools
which strive to generate questions rather than answering them. Overall, this research,
referred to as Digital Naturalism, explores a developing design space for computers in the
wild.

Through this research, goal suggest how to use the blog in Portuguese Language classes in Secondary School, while resource and pedagogical strategy in the development of digital literacy. I seek to accomplish this through the following specific objectives: to propose the use of educational blog in Portuguese Language classes; Report the experiences of using educational blog, "Reading Liberta", in mediating the teaching-learning process; Understand how the pedagogical ideas of learning are designed and incorporated into the construction and use of blogs. The blog "Reading Liberta" was created on July 28, 2010, and, from the beginning, thought to be collaborative, educational and interactive. The work done in this digital environment are guided by educational projects. The research was applied in EMEF Leonidas Santiago, located in Rangel district, in João Pessoa-PB, with 118 students. Regarding methodological procedures, bibliographic and ethnographic study utilized. The qualitative approach enabled the cooperative and interactive engagement between the researcher and the object of study. I chose to work with the blog by it to enable the student to a collective work, permitting the construction of new knowledge. As for the results, I observed, among others, that students have acquired skills and autonomy that allowed them to deal with issues relating to visual design, interaction and navigation and learned to make use of cognitive and metacognitive strategies that allowed the direction, organization, monitoring and critical evaluation of knowledge construction in cyberspace. So the blog is an environment that enables discussions, fosters communication, democratization of ideas, disseminates information and provides the seizure of knowledge with freedom of expression.
Através desta pesquisa, objetivo sugerir como utilizar o blog nas aulas de Língua Portuguesa do Ensino Fundamental II, enquanto recurso e estratégia pedagógica no desenvolvimento do letramento digital. Busco alcançar este objetivo através dos seguintes objetivos específicos: Propor o uso do blog educacional nas aulas de Língua Portuguesa; Relatar as experiências de uso do blog educacional, “A Leitura Liberta”, na mediação do processo de ensino-aprendizagem; Compreender como as ideias pedagógicas de aprendizagem são pensadas e incorporadas na construção e uso dos blogs. O blog “A Leitura Liberta” foi criado em 28 de julho de 2010, sendo, desde o início, pensado para ser colaborativo, pedagógico e interativo. Os trabalhos realizados nesse ambiente digital são guiados por projetos educativos. A pesquisa foi aplicada na EMEF Leônidas Santiago, localizada no bairro do Rangel, em João Pessoa-PB, com 118 alunos. Quanto aos procedimentos metodológicos, utilizei o estudo bibliográfico e etnográfico. A abordagem qualitativa possibilitou o envolvimento cooperativo e interativo entre o pesquisador e o objeto de estudo. Escolhi trabalhar com o blog por ele possibilitar ao aluno um trabalho coletivo, permitindo a construção de novos saberes. Quanto aos resultados, observei, dentre outros, que os alunos adquiriram competências e autonomia que lhes permitiram lidar com questões relativas ao design visual, à interação e à navegação e aprenderam a fazer uso de estratégias cognitivas e metacognitivas que permitiram o direcionamento, a organização, o monitoramento e a avaliação crítica da construção do conhecimento, no ciberespaço. Portanto, o blog é um ambiente que possibilita debates, estimula a comunicação, a democratização de ideias, dissemina informações e proporciona a apreensão de conhecimentos com liberdade de expressão.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, School of Architecture and Planning, Program in Media Arts and Sciences, 2007.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 50-51).
This thesis introduces digital materials by analogy with digital computation and digital communications. Traditional fabrication techniques include pick-and-place, roll-to-roll, molding, patterning and more. Current research in fabrication includes algorithmic assembly [3], programmed assembly[9], self-assembly[1,2], assembly by folding [4] as well as guided self-assembly [2]. While these research areas are studying means of fabrication, here we introduce the study of the digital materials they assemble. Moreover we present a new type of three-dimensional digital printer for use with functional digital materials. Most importantly, the digital materials are shown to be tuneable; the code describing a digital material allows one to predict and adjust the properties of the material itself. In the same 'way digital communications and computation are discrete in the code space, digital fabrication is discrete in the physical space. Just as digital communications enabled cheap long-distance communications and digital computation enabled cheap,universal and efficient computers, digital fabrication enables cheap, efficient and universal fabrication. Building digitally will reduce the complexity of the assembler and can produce a wider variety of objects for a smaller cost.

Against the backdrop of the increasing accessibility of media production technologies and the growth in the usage of Internet video websites, this thesis investigates the video work published on the activist media website Centro de Mídia Independente (CMI), in order to explore the uses being made of Internet video in a local context. The thesis looks at a number of new paradigms of the global in order to provide a theoretical context from which to consider the technology on which this use of video is based, the new social movements from which the videos are emerging, and how the videos are positioned in relation to the globalized networked environment of the Internet. The context for the textual analysis is provided by a discussion of narrative forms in journalistic texts, documentary and new media, and particularly, of documentary modes, tensions between journalism and documentary, the impact of digital media on documentary, and properties of digital and new media. The analysis takes the video production from Florianópolis posted to the CMI in 2005 as a case study, exploring the range of documentary modes suggested by the videos, additional styles and strategies that they make use of, and the integration of the videos with the hypertext environment in which they are posted. The thesis argues that a significant dimension of the videos is the diversity of styles and perspectives that they represent. It also argues that locality can be considered in the videos through the shared contexts of their subject matter and of the way in which they are posted to the CMI website. The thesis concludes that the multiplicity of forms of expression encountered in the videos and the multiplicity of perspectives that they provide on their subjects points to the democratic potential of websites such as the Centro de Mídia Independente. Tendo com pano de fundo o crescente acesso às tecnologias de produção de mídia e o crescimento no uso de websites relacionados ao uso de vídeo na Internet, esta dissertação investiga os trabalhos em vídeo publicados no website de mídia ativista, Centro de Mídia Independente (CMI), para explorar os usos de vídeo na Internet em um contexto local. A dissertação aborda novos paradigmas 'do global' para oferecer um contexto teórico onde são considerados a tecnologia usada por estes vídeos, os novos movimentos sociais de onde os vídeos estão surgindo e a forma como os vídeos são posicionados em relação ao ambiente globalizado e em rede da Internet. O contexto da análise textual é constituído por uma discussão do discurso jornalístico, do documentário e das novas mídias, e particularmente, de modos documentários, de tensões entre jornalismo e documentário, do impacto de mídia digital no documentário, e das propriedades de mídias novas e digitais. A análise traz como estudo de caso a produção de vídeos em Florianópolis de 2005, disponibilizada no website do CMI, e explora a variedade de modos documentários sugeridos pelos vídeos, estilos e estratégias utilizadas por estes e a integração dos vídeos com o ambiente onde estão disponibilizados. A dissertação argumenta que um aspecto significativo dos vídeos é a diversidade de estilos e perspectivas que eles representam. É argumentado ainda que a questão de localidade pode ser considerada nos vídeos a partir dos contextos compartilhados dos seus assuntos e da maneira que estes estão disponibilizados no website do CMI. Conclui-se que a multiplicidade das formas de expressão encontradas nos vídeos e a multiplicidade de perspectivas que oferecem em relação a seus sujeitos apontam o potencial democrático de websites como o Centro de Mídia Independente.

Mestrado em Gestão de Sistemas de InformaçãoO objectivo deste trabalho consiste no estudo da transformação digital, procurando perceber como uma empresa Portuguesa, da era pré-digital e pertencente à Indústria da Moda, está a actuar perante o digital. O problema a que se refere este trabalho prende-se com a transformação digital numa empresa com muitos anos de experiência, uma vez que este é um tema que actualmente se encontra na ordem de trabalhos das empresas. A questão de investigação consiste em: "Como uma empresa Portuguesa da área da Moda, com muitos anos de experiência, está a actuar perante a transformação digital"?. Uma abordagem qualitativa foi utilizada para estudar o tema referido anteriormente, baseada num estudo de caso singular. Este é sustentado com uma entrevista à empresa e com informação reunida em fontes online acerca da marca. Com o caso verificamos que a empresa iniciou os seus esforços digitais em 2010, adoptando a tecnologia digital Social. Esta tecnologia permite à empresa em estudo uma maior divulgação da marca e dos seus produtos. As estratégias formuladas referentes a esta tecnologia estão a par com estudos de comportamento dos utilizadores das social media da marca, tendo também novas estratégias de marketing, como a utilização de influenciadores digitais. A gestão deste fenómeno ficou à responsabilidade do CEO da empresa. Algumas das alterações que ocorreram na organização, consequência da tecnologia adoptada, prendem-se com a criação de novos cargos de trabalho e subcontratação de serviços externos. Na implementação desta tecnologia existiu um cuidado na gestão de todo o processo.
The main objective of this work consists in the study of the digital transformation, showing how a Portuguese company, born in a pre-digital era and part of the Fashion Industry, is adopting and operating the digital. The adoption of the digital transformation by companies with many years of experience is the problem that this work includes. This theme is discussed in organizations nowadays. The research question is: "How a Portuguese Organization with many years of experience, working in the fashion field, is acting towards digital transformation"?. A qualitative method, was used to study the aforementioned theme, based on a single case study. The case is supported by an interview, as well as information withdrawn from some online sources about the brand. With this case, we can verify that the company began their digital initiatives in 2010 by adopting Social as their digital technology. This technology allows the company to have a bigger propagation of the brand and products. The strategies design for this technology are based in studies about the company's social media. In addiction the company have new marketing strategies, for example the use of digital influencers. The CEO of the organization is responsible for management this phenomenon. Consequence of the digital technology adopted, some changes occurred in the company like the origination of new job positions and subcontracting of external services. The process of implementing this technology have been carefully managed.

Morani, Marina. "'New Italians' and digital media : an examination of intercultural media platforms." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2017. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/104335/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis presents a critical investigation of ‘intercultural digital media’ in Italy from 2000 to 2016. In this, it focuses on the diverse digital media platforms (largely web-portals and collective blogs) that have offered alternatives to mainstream media discourses of immigration and cultural diversity in Italy, and which have involved people of immigrant background as media producers. Through a focused, in-depth study of website content mainly published in 2014, including mission statements, thematic structures and discursive strategies, as well as the contextual and organisational structures, processes and roles of content producers and editors, the thesis offers a critical insight into the discourse of intercultural digital media in practice. Combining Critical Discourse and Multimodal Analysis approaches with Cultural Studies and digital citizenship theories of identity, representation and belonging, the research aims to explore the possibilities for constructing alternative, ‘intercultural’ discourse through these platforms. In investigating how intercultural discourse can be variously articulated within different modes such as journalism, self-representation and citizenship advocacy, the analysis engages closely with the strategic, organising idea of the ‘new Italians’, and raises broader questions about the cultural politics of under-represented groups seeking inclusion and recognition as ‘citizens’ in increasingly diverse societies.

The purpose of this study was to investigate how companies have linked their corporatestrategy with their digital- and social media strategy. The authors believed that these strategieshad to be connected somehow and wanted to research it further.Qualitative research methodology was utilized in this study. The research data consisted oftwo semi-structured interviews with one employee at Hestra Gloves and one at Kronfönster.The interviews were made after the same protocol in form of questions and documentation.The result of the interviews revealed that both Hestra Gloves and Kronfönster had overallbusiness core values which were reflected in their strategies. Hestra Gloves had a generalbusiness idea which was used as a corporate strategy, they also had a social media strategyand they had working guidelines for their digital channels. Kronfönster followed their corevalues which permeate the whole organization and they had guidelines for both corporatelevel, digital level and social media level.The findings show that the companies which were investigated have linked their corporatestrategy with their digital strategy in a medium way. The findings also show that theinvestigated companies have linked their corporate strategy with their social media strategy ina medium way. The authors conclude that some strategy components are linked in a strongway and that some components are linked in a weak way.

Full textAbstract:
My research investigates the relationship between the architectural designer and the use that he or she makes of digital media as part of the design process. My principal research question is: what is the advantage of including digital media as part of the designers' 'toolset' in the early stages of design? The context is a highly successful and high profile mid-sized Australian architectural practice. The study considers the nature of architectural designing as a creative activity and the extent to which advantages could be gained by including digital media as part of the designers' toolset in the early stages of design. Designers seem to be polarised between championing the role of digital media as part of their design processes and downright rejecting it. One such extreme position is a view that this media has either 'no place' (Martens et al. 2007:np; Sanders 1996:4-5) within architectural design and is thus seen as 'just another tool' filling at best an ancillary and service role in the design process (Kvan, Mark et al. 2004:np). This view suggests therefore that designing with digital media has hardly advanced (Corrigan 2003:86). An opposing view is that digital media can take a more fundamental place to advance design methods (Rahim 2006:1), even revolutionarily improve the design process beyond 'question and debate' (Winner 1986:6 in Steele 2001:13), resulting in a 'new architecture' (Lindsey 2001:12) and encouraging significant change in designing through semi-automated generation of design and interconnected ways of communicating (Lindsey 2001:12). Resulting from my study, I have found, however, that the more negative views (Winner 1986:6; Sanders 1996:4-5) regarding the integration of digital media into the architectural design process tend to distract from the more balanced investigation into how a designer masters an expanding architectural design practice. As a doctoral candidate I take a participant-observer position within Terroir where I have been employed for the past five years. My experiences in responding to my research question suggest that the advantage of digital media is not a question of whether or not to integrate the tools. The question is more an issue of how a designer masters an expanding design process through an approach that includes ideas, conventional media and digital media. My thesis demonstrates the changes that occurred through the integration of digital media and, conversely, possibilities to opportunistically further improve on conventional design practice. My research suggests that mutuality exists in the relationship between the designer and their digital media. Through their co-evolution, changes can occur where there is not only an integration of digital media with design, but also both media and design practice change through their integration. I also discuss how an uptake of digital media gives grounds for a new specialised ro le in practice. A new role emerged within the collaborative firm of architects, which I have called in this thesis the digital ideator. It is a role that I demonstrate as potentially being central to digital media integrated with design practice.

Full textAbstract:
Given the accessibility of media devices available to us today and utilising van Leeuwen's concept of inscription and synthesis as a guide, this thesis explores the practice of re-presenting a domestic material object, the Croxley Recipe Book, into digital media. Driven by a creative practice research method, but also utilising materiality, digital storytelling practices and modality as important conceptual frames, this project was fundamentally experimental in nature. A materiality-framed content analysis, interpreted through cultural analysis, initially unraveled some of the cookbook's significance and contextualised it within a particular time of New Zealand's cultural history. Through the expressive and anecdotal practice of digital storytelling the cookbook's significance was further negotiated, especially as the material book was engaged with through the affective and experiential digital medium of moving-image. A total of six digital film works were created on an accompanying DVD, each of which represents some of the cookbook's significance but approached through different representational strategies. The Croxley Recipe Book Archive Film and Pav. Bakin' with Mark are archival documentaries, while Pav is more expressive and aligned with the digital storytelling form. Spinning Yarns and Tall Tales, a film essay, engages and reflects with the multiple processes and trajectories of the project, while Extras and The Creative Process Journal demonstrate the emergent nature of the research. The written thesis discusses the emergent nature of the research process and justifies the conceptual underpinning of the research.
