Full textAbstract:
Popular music and film are separate media, framed by specific discourses, histories of
distribution and reception, semiotic relationships and literacies. Through these divergent
manifestations and ideologies nodes of convergence exist. At moments of connection,
new and innovative textual and contextual possibilities emerge, transforming the ways in
which audiences both engage and read these media. Whilst often driven by capitalist
goals, both popular music and film capture and tether personal expression and collective
memory. Through these processes of signification, popular cultural texts belonging to
both media forms are able to resist their commodified origins to inform and construct
both collective and individual identities.
This thesis charts the movement of popular music across cinema. RocknRoll is utilized
not only as an amalgam of texts made up of sounds and images, but also as a critical and
interpretative apparatus through which specific cultural identities are configured. This
work is concerned with various manifestations of political resistance in popular culture,
and the ways in which this resistance is moderated through cultural commodification.
Using an interdisciplinary approach converging film analysis, popular music studies
and music journalism this thesis constructs an ideological framework through which
film and popular music can be aligned, and through which this alignment can be
researched.
Through an engagement with myriad cinematic and popular cultural texts, executed through interdisciplinary methods, this thesis establishes a theoretical framework for
understanding and analyzing the convergence of popular music and cinema. Its original
contribution to knowledge is an evaluation of the ways in which these media are changed
through their alignment and how they inform each other both structurally, as tangible
manifestations of specific media codes and structures, and politically, in the ideological
embodiment of particular identities and representational realities. This goal is achieved
through the selection of specific research materials, especially those which have not been
subject to detailed investigation in other scholarly studies. Specific filmic and musical
texts are discussed because they embody the aesthetic and political synergy of these two
media forms as well as demonstrating the cultural processes through which this synergy
is enacted.
This thesis offers interdisciplinary dialogue as a valid strategy to understand the
processes involved in the creation and reception of texts which are cinematic in nature
but utilize the language and discourse of popular music. The textual and contextual
manifestations of this process are a primary concern. Emphasis is placed on the
implications for film form in terms of the structure of texts and their existence within
specific genres, the shifting position of the auteur and the renegotiation of the term and its
meaning to film and popular music, and the conjunction and interaction between
creativity and commerce. In addressing the political and aesthetic possibilities of the film
and popular music hybrid, as well as the cultural implications of their convergence, this
thesis provides new perspectives for the analysis of both forms.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse est une étude linguistique et discursive d'un corpus constitué de longs métrages documentaires consacrés à la musique populaire anglophone au 20ème siècle : rock, folk, blues punk, électro. Nous proposons en premier lieu une description des films du corpus tenant compte de critères formels, discursifs et narratifs. Nous voyons notamment de quelle façon le montage permet une articulation entre micro et macro-discours, ainsi que la création de pseudo-dialogues et d'une chaîne anaphorique plurisémiotique. Nous observons également un certain nombre de traits narratifs récurrents au sein des micro-récits comme des macro-récits et postulons qu'ils participent à l'expression de normes propres à la culture rock. La deuxième partie de cette étude est fondée sur la recherche de traces linguistiques de l'insoumission généralement prêtée au rock. Nous constatons grâce à une analyse textométrique une certaine plasticité du tabou langagier qui s'explique par les environnements dans lesquels apparaissent les mots grossiers. D'autre part, le corpus contient un grand nombre de transgressions interactionnelles révélatrices de la manière dont cette rébellion supposée innée est construite et gérée au sein du discours médiatique. Enfin la troisième partie de cette étude est consacrée aux contre-discours produits dans et par les documentaires musicaux, lesquels ont notamment pour but de corriger un discours doxique jugé fautif, de souligner de façon réflexive les limites du langage ou du discours artistique médiatique ou encore de valoriser l'indicible et des moyens d'expression alternatifs, ce que nous nommons la logophobieThis thesis is a linguistic and discursive study of documentaries on 20th century popular music in English-speaking countries: rock music, folk, blues, punk and electro. We first suggest a description of the corpus based on formal, discursive and narrative criteria. We see how editing allows an articulation of micro and macro-discourses as well as the creation of pseudo-dialogues and of a plurisemiotic anaphoric chain. We also notice certain patterns among micro-stories and macro-stories, which we believe are the expression of specific cultural norms. The second part of this study in based on the research of linguistic expressions of rock's supposedly innate rebellion. Corpus analysis shows the plasticity of linguistic taboo and of the use of swearwords, depending on the environment in which they appear. Besides, the corpus contains an important number of interactional transgressions that show how rock's rebellion is actually built and dealt with in media discourse. The third part of this study deals with the counter-discourses that are produced within and by music documentaries. These discourses aim at correcting a faulty doxa, they reflectively question the limits of speech and discourse, whether in songs or in the media, and tend to valu the unsa yable as well as alternative means of expression what we refer to as logophobia

Full textAbstract:
Rock fills that hit the seabed will remold the underlying material. If this material is a clay with sufficiently low shear strength, it will adopt rheological properties, causing flow through the rock fill, and contributing to the initial settlements of the rock fill in addition to conventional consolidation theory. The settlements of the rocks depend upon the height of the rock fill and how the rocks have been laid out. This is due to the viscosity of the clay, and the fact that clay is thixotropic. Thixotropy causes the viscosity to increase with decreased shear rate. The settlements finally come to a stop due to frictional forces from the surface area of the rocks. Clay is a non-newtonian Bingham fluid and will have a laminar flow through the rock fill. The Kozeny-Carman model is the most appropriate model for determining the permeability with laminar fluid flow through porous media. A clay with water content 52% and shear strength 0,35kPa had a viscosity in a viscometer of $eta$ = 7,8Pas. Comparing theoretical and experimental results for immediate and layered loading of the rock fill showed clay viscosities of 7Pas and 40Pas respectively.

Melendez, Elisa M. "For Those About to Rock: Gender Codes in the Rock Music Video Games Rock Band and Rocksmith." FIU Digital Commons, 2018. https://digitalcommons.fiu.edu/etd/3685.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores gender codes within the intersection of two American pop culture staples, video games and rock music, by conducting a feminist analysis of two video games (Rock Band and Rocksmith). Both video games and rock music have had their share of feminist academic critique: Musicologists point out how lack of canonical inclusion, gendered attitudes towards instruments, and messages from supporting media create an unwelcome environment for women to pursue a rock music career. Game studies scholars have examined similar attitudes, including a lack of women represented in both the video games and the studios that create them.
Through a mix of creator and player interviews, participant observation, content analysis, and autoethnography, I look at the intersection of these two literatures (the rock music video game) to see how gender is hard-coded into the game, and what opportunities, if any, exist for subversion of societal and industry gender norms. Through not just looking at the game as text, I present a more “thick description” of a video game that takes into account the creators of the games, the players that play them, and a researcher that occupies multiple identities within the space. I argue that, in an effort to replicate an authentic rock musician experience in a video game, Rock Band and Rocksmith often replicate a lot of these gendered messages. The games’ text and set list emphasize a male-centric rock music canon. Rocksmith’s original whiskey-soaked visual design and marketing skew heavily towards an older male demographic. However, resistances to these codes exist in both the players who defy expectations by showing up to perform and compete, as well as the creators who actively work to make these games more inclusive via changes to future games as well as inclusive hiring practices, marketing, and music sourcing (with varying degrees of success).

Full textAbstract:
Experiment in any art discipline attracts attention and is associated with the beginnings, immaturity, and experiencing the new. If in the 21st century an experimental tendency is emerging in film, a medium and discipline considered to be exhausted and in decline, it is unsettling.
In Argentine film, experiment is first mentioned in connection with the non-conformist art scene of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Filmmakers Narcisa Hirsch and Claudio Caldini are representatives of that decade; they are also witnesses who connect this "first" era with the first and second decade of the 21st century, since they are, once again, among contemporary Argentine artists who turn to film as the medium for experiment.
Whether or not it is possible to talk about a tradition of experimental film in Argentina is not as substantial as (acknowledging) the conditions which accompanied its rise in the two periods mentioned. The 1970s were a period marked by the regime of military dictatorship. The year 2001 represents a turning point in which economic, political and social crisis erupted. In both instances, the circumstances wholly pervaded the life of the society and its art and can be seen as critical. Whether crisis creates the potential for experiment is an open question underlaying reflections on the contemporary possibilities of experimental film and art
in general.
The present work aims to compare the wider social and cultural conditions and creative and production strategies of filmmakers in the 1970s with the conditions and strategies of the filmmakers working after 2001 in Buenos Aires. Furthermore, with regard to the expansion of the audiovisual scene and its transformation into the field of arts of the moving image, it proposes to look at contemporary experimental film in Argentina through the practices of authors from different fields of art such as Claudio Caldini, Pablo Mazzolo and Andrés Denegri.

ABSTRACT
The main topic of this diploma thesis is the analysis of the ways old-age and its attributes are represented in current Czech cinema when compared to newest sociological data on Czech seniors. The work attempts to find out whether the way seniors are presented in films corresponds to reality and if not, what are the reasons behind it. It also addresses topics such as the specific traits of the current generation of Czech seniors, their economic, social and family situation and the way these are reflected in Czech films. The thesis also looks at more general topics such as old age and gender, loneliness or freedom and last but not least analyzes the methods that filmmakers used to portray the themes of memory and reminiscing in their films.

Full textAbstract:
A principal aim of this research has been to establish the capacity of British Gangland film to articulate its era of production through the cinematic interpretation of contemporary concerns and anxieties in narratives relating to the criminal underworld. In order to do so, the study has concentrated on the analysis of space, gender and hierarchy within representative generic texts produced between 1945 and the present. The thesis is divided into three sections: the first offers a general overview of British Gangland film from the 65 years under discussion with the aim of identifying recurring generic patterns and motifs. The second and third sections are more specifically focused, their chapters examining the narrative significance and development of the male and the female protagonist respectively. Within the films under discussion, the relationship between these protagonists and their environment represents a fundamental generic component, resulting in an emphasis on space and place. Space within these narratives is inherently territorial, and thus irrevocably bound up with hierarchies of power. The predominantly urban locations in which the narratives are set represent a twilight world, a demi-monde, which is rarely neutral but dominated by the patriarchal order structuring the notion of ‘Gangland’. Such spaces are therefore inextricably linked with gender, hierarchy, and dynamic power relations. Whilst it would have been possible to explore each of these areas in isolation through specifically relevant theoretical perspectives, their interdependence is central to this study. Consequently, a holistic theoretical approach has facilitated analysis of the symbiotic relationship between the three key elements of space, gender and hierarchy and the processes involved in the generation of meaning: this has resulted in a reading of British Gangland film as cultural artefact, reflecting its circumstances of production.

A pesquisa, de natureza qualitativa, se insere na Linha de Pesquisa Crítica Feminista e Estudos de Gênero. Esta investigação tem como cerne teórico a teoria queer com base em autores como Jack Halberstam (2005), Annemarie Jagose (1996) e Richard Miskolci (2012). Embora a sexualidade seja um tema presente nesta dissertação, a questão principal se refere à (hetero)normatividade e aos padrões sociais imbricados nela. Para entabular essas discussões o objeto desta pesquisa é o cinema, o meio através do qual se estabelecem os diálogos com a teoria citada. Ao longo do texto alguns filmes e cenas específicas são apresentados para formular uma discussão teórica inserida no campo da representação imagética, neste caso o cinema. A partir de um caminho teórico e histórico sobre as principais questões abordadas na dissertação, a ideia principal consiste em reunir o cinema e a música, como dois espaços de voz, focando na participação de mulheres no rock n roll e, principalmente, abordando o movimento feminista estadunidense que ocorreu no cenário alternativo musical, o Riot Grrrl. Sendo assim, depois da problematização teórica e histórica das questões abordadas entre esses dois campos de representação artística, o filme All Over Me dirigido por Alex Sichel de 1997 é analisado. A questão norteadora está focada na reflexão acerca do modo como a música e a subcultura representadas em All Over Me, com bandas integradas por jovens meninas, contribui para o empoderamento da personagem principal. A metodologia de análise fílmica utilizada é a proposta por David Bordwell e Kristin Thompson (2008), unindo esta com o percurso teórico feito pelos capítulos anteriores. O queer foi pensado nessa dissertação como uma categoria de análise importante para entender as representações, em especial, as cinematográficas. Essa perspectiva abre a possibilidade para que qualquer representação seja pensada a partir dessas teorias possibilitando o entendimento dos modos de elaboração dos discursos dominantes/normativos através de imagens, histórias e/ou personagens. A categoria se fez necessária, no caso da análise do filme em discussão, para a compreensão de como a personagem principal se sente marginalizada e, até mesmo, hostilizada em certos ambientes. O olhar que conduz a narrativa é a da personagem principal revelando suas perspectivas, sua relação com o próprio corpo e desejo, e o processo de empoderamento ao longo da história estabelecido por sua relação íntima com a música. Através da análise fílmica foi possível identificar esse processo na narrativa, os momentos chaves dentro da história da personagem e o modo como a construção imagética expressa o seu estado psíquico.
Abstract : The research, of qualitative nature, belongs to the field of Feminist Critics and Gender Studies. The theoretical core of this investigation is the queer theory based on author such as Jack Halberstam (2005), Annemarie Jagose (1996) e Richard Miskolci (2012). Although sexuality is a current theme in this dissertation, the main issue concerns the (hetero) normativity and its related social standard. In order to engage in these discussions, the subject used in this research was the cinema, the medium, which establishes dialogues with the aforementioned theory. Throughout the text some specific films and scenes are presented to formulate a theoretical discussion inserted in the field of image representation, in this case, the cinema. From a theoretical and historical journey on the issue addressed in the dissertation, the main idea is to bring together the film and the music, as two spaces of voice, focusing on the participation of women in rock n roll, and specially addressing the American feminist movement in the alternative musical scene, the Riot Grrrl. Thus, after the theoretical and historical problematization of the issue addressed between these two field of artistic representation, the movie All Over Me, directed by Alex Sichel in 1997, is analyzed. The research question focuses on the reflection about how the music and the subculture represented in All Over Me, which integrated bands of young girls, contributed to the empowerment of the main character. The methodology of film analysis used was proposed by David Bordwell and Kristin Thompson (2008), combining it with the theoretical route of the previous chapters. The queer was thought in this dissertation as a category of analysis important to understand representations, in particular the filmic ones. This perspective opens the possibility that any representation can be thought through these theories allowing a better understanding of the development modes of dominant/normative discourse through images, stories and/or characters. The category was necessary for the analysis of this film in order to comprehend how the main character feels marginalized and even ostracized in certain environments. The narrative is conducted by the eyes of the main character revealing her outlooks, the relationship with her own body and desire, and the process of empowerment throughout the history established by her intimate connection with the music. Employing the film analysis it was possible to identify this process in the narrative, the key moments in the history of the character and the way the imagery construction represents her mental state.

Full textAbstract:
In Spring 2007, the University of Central Florida (UCF) Department of Theatre mounted a production of "The Rocky Horror Show." This thesis focuses on the author's process of using the gospel music style to revitalize "The Rocky Horror Show," a cult musical. The author uses defining characteristics of the cult film genre to establish a set of guidelines. "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" is the movie version of the stage musical and is responsible for the show's inevitable cult status. He discusses the history and journey of "The Rocky Horror Show" and how audience participation was integral in establishing this landmark musical. The reader observes the process used in rearranging "The Rocky Horror Show" score from start to finish and recordings used as influence throughout. Although this is a discussion of a musical process, this portion of the document is written in terms for all to understand, and a glossary of terms is provided for those that are unsure of certain vocabulary. With a show that is well established, one must be careful when making stylistic changes. The author took this into consideration when arranging the score and rationalizes through a discussion of gospel music history, key gospel elements apparent throughout the score, and how the essence of Richard O'Brien's music remains intact.M.F.A.

I followed with an analyzation of the montage and bulding elements, that are used in these films, most oftenly shaping the opinion of the general public. The interpretations and contents of these films were compared to the results of the social-sientific research on the nature of normalization period and the dissent. Also these generally popular films were compared with the works standing outside of the mainstream documentary film, about the topic of dissent or previous regime in general.
This theses is therefore refering to the problems of interpretation of the previous regime, normalization and the role of dissent in czech society.

Full textAbstract:
Dans la seconde moitié des années soixante naissent aux États-Unis le rock et la critique rock.Les participants de ces deux sphères s'unissent jusqu'à former une camaraderie, mais de cette rencontre surgit aussi un troisième champ. Ni vraiment musical, ni totalement critique, celui-ci est avant tout « littéraire ». Il nous met au défi de parler de critique rock pour mieux discuter de littérature et non de musique. C'est dans ce paradoxe apparent que Lester Bangs évolue par exemple. Génie tutélaire de ce petit groupe d'auteurs formés au sein des premiers fanzines et magazines rock, il ne décrit pas seulement les mythes rock ; il interroge aussi leur écriture. Plus avant, ce qui se dessine dans ses textes est le portrait du jeune écrivain « débutant » issu de la grande tradition du « journalisme littéraire ». Cela crée des liens entre les conditions d'accès à l'écriture dans la presse et le devenir « écrivain » en littérature. De même, trouve-t-on des annonces et des échos de ces discours dans le « cinéma direct » américain de l'époque, ainsi que dans la critique rock française. Le film Dont Look Back de Donn Alan Pennebaker par exemple montre déjà dès 1965 la nécessité de la création d'une critique non-journalistique sur le rock. Puis, Yves Adrien s'inspire de l'œuvre de Lester Bangs. Et enfin aujourd'hui à plus de quarante ans de distance, toujours Nick Tosches, Peter Guralnick, Greil Marcus et Lenny Kaye reconstruisent en paroles cette première expérience d'écriture et de publication. Aussi, cette thèse étudiera la création inattendue d'un champ littéraire au sein de la critique rock sur un plan mythographique : bien qu'éphémère, celui-ci s'avèrera fécondIn the second half of the sixties, rock music and rock criticism emerge in the United States. The protagonists of the two spheres gather to create a sense of camaraderie, but a third field also arises from that encounter. It is first and foremost a literary one, neither really musical, nor completely criticism-oriented. As a result, it challenges us to discuss rock criticism in order to better understand literature rather than music. Lester Bangs in particular dwells within that apparent paradox. As the figurehead of this little group of authors formed in early rock fanzines and magazines, he not only describes the rock myths but also discusses the way they are written. The portrait of the “aspiring writer” originating from the tradition of “literary journalism” also appears in his texts. This links the conditions of writing in the press to the situation of the fresh writer-to-be in literature. Similarly, auguries and echoes of such discourses can be found during the same period in American “direct cinema” and French rock criticism. For instance Donn Alan Pennebaker already underlines in 1965 the need for a non-journalistic criticism on rock in his documentary Dont Look Back. Later, Yves Adrien follows Lester Bangs works. Finally, forty years on, Nick Tosches, Peter Guralnick, Greil Marcus and Lenny Kaye continue today to reshape verbally this initial experience of writing and publishing. This thesis studies the unexpected birth of a new literary field through mythography. Though short-lived, it was nonetheless fecund

Full textAbstract:
The use of coarse-grained fill materials has grown significantly in recent years especially on account of their use in dams and transportation networks. This study investigates compressibility of various coarse-grained fill materials in dry and wet loading conditions in oedometer test. Four materials were used in the experiments, which falls into GP, GW, GM and GC categories respectively. GP material is a weathered rock obtained from Eymir Lake region. This material was chosen especially to be able to investigate degradation and particle breakage due to compaction and compression. GW, GM and GC materials were obtained by using the material called &lsquobypass&rsquo
which is a fill material used in the construction of metro of Eryaman. Using these four materials, large-scale double oedometer tests were carried out to investigate compressibility in both dry and wet conditions. The double oedometer testing technique is used to investigate the effect of soaking on compressibility behaviour of compacted fill materials. Various compactive efforts were used in the compaction stage to investigate the effect of compactive effort on compressibility and degradation of the four gravelly materials. Gradations of the post-test samples were obtained and particle breakage due to compaction using various compactive efforts and particle breakage due to compression were determined. It is found that amount of compression does not necessarily depend on the dry density of the material and fine fraction is also a dominating property regarding the compressibility in coarse-grained fill materials. The vertical strains induced by soaking are on the order of 12% - 20% of the compression measured in dry loading case for the well-graded coarse-grained fill materials tested. Besides, there is significant particle breakage in the compaction process and no further particle breakage in the oedometer test for GP material.

‘To begin with, everything’– Russell Hammond (Almost famous)
Rock music is a global phenomenon that originated in the 1950s and continues to the present day. The rock musician has become a ubiquitous figure in a wide range of mass media forms: novels, biographies, magazines, games, TV shows and films.
Since rock music and its ‘project of authenticity’ (Keightley 2003) began ‘becoming residual’ (Grossberg 2002), a phenomenon sometimes characterized as the “death of rock” (Dettmar 2006), fictional band films have proliferated. This thesis documents the evolution of the fictional band film in terms of genre theory, the social history of rock, and the discourses of authenticity circulating in the media. The thesis employs poststructuralist film theory and semiotic analysis to elaborate on the significance of what might be regarded as an ‘invisible genre’ (Brown 2013). The study focuses on five feature films, each of which tells the story of a fictional band in a particular phase of what Bennett (1991, p. 147) calls the ‘paradigmatic rock’n’roll career’: cult phase, crossing over, transcendence, decline, and comeback. In contrast to the prevalent critical view that the rock fiction film is inferior to non-fictional genres such as the documentary, concert film and biopic, analysis suggests that the fictional band film is a specific performance of rock, and perhaps rock’s paradigmatic cinematic expression.

Full textAbstract:
This MA thesis analyses the use of autobiographical elements in animated films of contemporary female directors. The thesis employs data obtained from in-depth interviews with eight individual directors. As the main methodological tool for conducting these I used oral history. These data were further combined with the gender-specific textual analysis and interpretation of their films, regarding the main principles of animations studies. The goal was to reach a conclusion whether there is any inclination towards the use of autobiographical elements in animated films of Czech female directors. The thesis also contemplates the potential of animation studies in general and its effective use in connection with other academic disciplines. This approach leads towards obtaining findings, outreaching the mere sphere of animation and that may be enriching in the context of political-economic transformation after 1989 in Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic, for example. Keywords: animated film, autobiography, animation studies, gender, political-economic transformation after 1989.

Since 1997, merger and acquisition (M&A) deals of the global financial industry began to rise in volume. Series of securities merger and acquisitions in Taiwan kicked off with the merger of Yuanta and Core Pacific Securities in 2000. Concurrently, China’s securities market started to develop in the 1990’s, and to date, it plays an evolving role in the global arena, with the market value of the Shanghai Stock Exchange exceeding that of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 2007. This paper examines cross-strait mid-to-large size securities firms, in particular those that have recently conducted M&As, with the use of DEA’s CCR and BCC models, to decide whether performances of these firms have improved after their post-merger integration. In addition, qualitative research was used to enhance the study, and three specialists were interviewed for factors that may not be otherwise available via quantitative research methods. Our result indicates that securities firms in both the ROC and the PRC do not necessarily perform better post M&A transactions. ROC’s securities firms need to put more resources in the “brokerage handling fee revenue” related activities. PRC’s securities firms need to put more resources in the “non-operating revenue and profits”, less resources in “revenue” and “property and equipment-net” related activities to promote their performance. In addition, “price” is the key factor in deciding whether a M&A transaction is successful, also, the securities need to keep talented people successfully, so that can evaluate the operating performance.

Owing to the very needs of early space-time background, the conscription is implemented to our draftee in our military service. However, due to the declining birthrate, aging population, young people reduced year by year, fewer and fewer conscripts and the professionalization of the military science and technology, our military service plan in the future will focus on recruiting enough high-quality personnel. Moreover, under the guidance of the Executive Yuan, the ad hoc committee is compiled by the Ministry of National Defense. Many scholars are convened to make an assessment of military service and research as well. Based on the guidance mentioned above, we do simply hope that the military service will be transformed into the new level during 4 to 6 years. The mercenary system will be also expected to be completed in the 104th year of the Republic Era(R.O.C.). Nontheless, from the conscription, which means every citizen is a soldier, to the mercenary system, which means conditional selection; there are apparent and obvious divergences both on the quality and quantity of supply and demand. For example, the reason of mercenary system implemented successfully for many years in the U.S. lies in the appropriate recruiting strategies and advertisements or TV commercials; consequently, with the transformation and reformation of national defense policy, the R.O.C. armed forces is supposed to enhance its own actions concerning the advertising from time to time. In order to fulfill the needs of annual supplement of commissioned and non commissioned officers in R.O.C. armed forces, the Ministry of National Defense adopts the active marketing to recruit new members, building the publicity pathway, and instructs the overall planning of the “Recruitment Center of R.O.C. Armed Forces,” meanwhile, with the integration of recruitment resources, the authority and relevant governmental departments, the encouragement of civilian participation and the young students will obtain the complete information of serving in R.O.C. armed forces. In this study, the documentary analysis is adopted to probe the development of military advertising and propaganda. Also, the online observation is adopted to observe the key pal’s evaluation of “transformer”, which is the advertising regarding the image of R.O.C. armed forces; additionaly, with the in-depth interviewing, the help from the person in charge with Recruitment Center of National Defense R.O.C. Armed Forces, the researchers and the specialists, the study did not merely investigate the innovation and difficulties of military advertising strategies at present based on the appearance of new media, but did definitely provide the specialists’ opinions about the very development of the military advertising in the future as well. The study inducted some practicable advices as follows: 1. There should be distinction between national advertisement and military advertisement on the overall advertising planning; furthermore, different selective media should be provided to different audiences of demands. 2. Moreover, there should be some attraction about the content of advertisement to move and attract the audiences. 3. There should be more diverse integration with the advertisement and propaganda to improve the image of R.O.C. armed forces activating online marketing eventually.

A Study on the Relationship between MNEs’ Characteri- stics and International Competitiveness of Firms of the Information Hardware Industry in ROC and Japan Student: Feng —Hua Yang Advisor: Prof. Tsai — Mei Lin Chinese Culture University ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to realize MNEs’ characteristics affect their interna-tional competitiveness. At first, this research analyses international competitiveness of the information hardware products. As for the international competitiveness of the products, digital automatic data processing machines, terminals, image scanners and color video monitors are export specialization, they are global competitive. The four products are suggested to produce overseas, it can avoid the trade protect policy of developed countries and enlarge the market and endure the international competitiveness. Printers, keyboards, optical disc devices and power supply exchangeable are import specialization, they must produce domestic by transferring new technology from overseas. It must invest foreign if tech-nology transfer is impossible. As for the relationship between MNEs’ characteristics and international competi-tiveness of firms, this research takes the numbers of foreign subsidiary, capital, density of R & D, years of foreign investment, and the numbers of employees as five inde-pendent variables. Using five independent variables to forecast the dependent variable. The dependent variable is composed of profitability, export market share, export de-pendency, and productivity. The result implies that the numbers of foreign subsidiary, density of R & D, and the numbers of employees positively influence international com-petitiveness of firms. The results of ROC and Japan are the same. The MNEs which adopt the international division of labor have stronger firm international competitive-ness than others don’t. Finally, this research suggests to compare industries or countries in the topic for further studies.

Full textAbstract:
Assessing the probability of bankruptcy has been a key topic approached by researchers
and academics throughout the last half century. The bankruptcy of considerable firms, such as
Enron or WorldCom, coupled with the rigorous regulatory environment triggered by Basel II
guidelines, fostered even further the interest in the topic.
Moreover, in the outcome of financial crisis, Credit Rating Agencies were criticized for
addressing inflated ratings and not properly anticipating defaults. Besides, leading CRA’s do
not assess the creditworthiness of all firms, and our intention is to provide to individual investor
the best option available to autonomously estimate the probability of bankruptcy
We analyse if either a market-based model, KMV, or a hybrid model, CHS, are able to properly
anticipate the event of bankruptcy, and in case this is verified, which of them better distinguish
between bankrupt and non-bankrupt firms. In order to do so, we resort to a sample of 354 US
publicly listed firms, divided into bankrupt and non-bankrupt firms, and applied the ROC
technique to assess our results, for a 10-year period.
Our results prove that KMV model is slightly superior to the CHS model at maximizing the
Area Under the Curve (AUC). Besides, it provided a higher optimal probability’s cut off point
that distinguish both type of firms. Our results indicate that the KMV model is the best option
available for an individual investor to assess the probability of default, given the results
achieved and the easiness of application when compared to the CHS model.A avaliação da probabilidade de falência tem sido um tema-chave abordado por investigadores e académicos ao longo do último meio século. A falência de empresas consideráveis como a Enron ou a WorldCom, aliada ao rigoroso ambiente regulamentar desencadeado pelas diretrizes de Basileia II, fomentou ainda mais o interesse pelo tema. Além disso, na sequência da crise financeira, as agências de notação de crédito (ANC) foram criticadas por endereçarem notações inflacionadas e não anteciparem corretamente os incumprimentos. Ademais, as principais ANC não avaliam todas as empresas, e a nossa intenção é proporcionar ao investidor individual a melhor opção disponível para estimar autonomamente a probabilidade de falência. Neste estudo analisou-se se um modelo baseado em dados de mercado, o KMV, e um modelo híbrido, o CHS, diferenciam o evento de falência e, caso isso seja verificado, qual deles melhor distingue entre empresas falidas e não falidas. Para tal, recorremos a uma amostra de 354 empresas cotadas nos EUA, divididas em empresas falidas e não falidas, aplicando a técnica estatística "ROC", num período de 10 anos. Os nossos resultados sugerem que o modelo KMV é ligeiramente superior ao modelo CHS, maximizando a área sob a curva (AUC). Além disso, o primeiro proporcionou um ponto de corte de probabilidade mais elevado que distingue ambos os tipos de empresas. Os nossos resultados indiciam que o KMV é a melhor opção disponível para um investidor individual avaliar a probabilidade de incumprimento, dado os resultados alcançados e a facilidade de aplicação em comparação com o modelo CHS.

Este documento descreve o desenvolvimento do filme “Deuses Esquecidos” e tem por principal cenário os sítios de arte rupestre do Vale do Côa. O argumento, seguindo a sugestão simbólica de John Steinbeck no romance “A um Deus Desconhecido”, propõe uma renovação do valor de culto do Vale do Côa através da sobreposição de imagens e significados. Esta renovação não é só feita dentro do filme: o próprio objecto fílmico pode ser visto como uma gravura ou, pelo menos, como sombra efémera que percorre as linhas sulcadas pelo homem pré-histórico. O filme foi realizado ao abrigo de um protocolo firmado entre a Fundação Côa Parque e a Faculdade de Ciências Sociais e Humanas da Universidade Nova de Lisboa. O filme remete para várias dimensões conceptuais. Exploram-se primeiramente as relações de proximidade entre o dispositivo cinematográfico e a arte rupestre, no que diz respeito aos seus aspectos técnicos e formas de apresentação, e o que isso implica na relação que constroem com o espectador. São também explorados, no contexto de mecanismos de projecção, de si mesmo e do outro, questões relacionadas com duplos, sombras, simulacros e estátuas, sob a asa dos mitos originários da pintura e escultura avançados por Plínio, o Velho, e Ficino. Outras questões relevantes dizem respeito à relação anacrónica do homem com as imagens do passado, - cujo fosso temporal se alarga no caso da arte rupestre - e na capacidade da imagem ser projectada para o presente através da sobreposição de significados, ao uso programático da música, “leitmotives”, à escolha da polifonia feminina a capella e relações propostas entre a voz, o corpo e a alma. Neste documento estão também incluídos a metodologia e materiais elaborados para a realização do projecto – guião, storyboard, descrição da rodagem e das gravações musicais. Por fim, apresenta-se um mapa visual, onde se propõe relações entre o presente projecto e produção artística, cinematográfica e, residualmente, literária de autores de referência, acompanhado de alguns comentários.This document describes the development of the film “Forgotten Gods”, whose main scenario is the rock art sites of the Côa Valley. The script, following the symbolic suggestion by John Steinbeck in the novel “To a God Unknown”, proposes a renewal of the cult value of the Côa Valley through the superimposition of images and meanings. This renewal is not only done within the film: the filmic object itself can be seen as an engraving or, at least, as an ephemeral shadow that wanders through the lines made by the prehistoric man. The film was made under a protocol signed between the Côa Parque Foundation and the Faculty of Social and Human Sciences of Nova University. The film refers to several conceptual dimensions. We first explore the proximity relations between the cinematographic device and rock-art, regarding their technical aspects and forms of presentation, and what this implies in the relationship built with the viewer. In the context of projection mechanisms, of oneself and of the other, issues related to doubles, shadows, simulacra and statues are also explored - under the wing of the origin myths of painting and sculpture advanced by Pliny , the Elder, and Ficino. Other relevant issues concern the anachronistic relationship between men and the images of the past - whose temporal gap widens in the case of rock art - and the ability of the image to be projected into the present through the superimposition of meanings, to the programmatic use of music, “leitmotives”, to the choice of a capella female polyphony and the proposed relationships between voice, body and soul. Included here are the methodology and materials developed to carry out the project - script, storyboard, description of the shooting and musical recordings. Finally, a visual map is presented, proposing relations between the present project and artistic, cinematographic and, residually, literary production by leading authors, accompanied by some comments.

Punk rock provided not only a watershed of creativity, innovation and a do-it-yourself spirit to a culture saturated in the mainstream, it physically brought like-minded people together in a community, or rather extended family, which in today’s hyper-d.i.y. culture, is progressively declining. As early as the 1940s, theorists such as Adorno and Horkheimer warned us about alienation in a society increasingly dependent on technology. By looking to punk, and other resilient and robust counter-cultures, perhaps we can find solutions to the pitfalls of the ‘culture industry’ (Adorno, Horkheimer, 1944).
My thesis, consisting of a feature-length documentary film and textual analysis, is a culmination of: ethnographic research into the punk scene in my own community; theoretical research into the sociology, ethnography and subculture theory; and my own subjectivity. My personal findings are presented to offer insight into punk philosophy and to spur discourse, rather than deliver an objective account or didactic reproach.Graduate
