Full textOne of the most recent ways of human communication are web diaries or blogs. Blogs provide a possibility to disseminate one’s mind to the world without mediators, to find the access to the target audiences, to attract them, to create the image and opinion. Blogs bear no mediators; the disseminators and recipients of the information build up a direct contact. The web diaries are quite recent phenomenon in the public communications; therefore, neither fundamental researches have been carried out nor has theoretical foundation been laid down yet. This master paper structures so far available research materials and approaches on blog domains and presents personal observations on the subject matter. The introduced communicational models of blog domains and the proposed new typology of 3-dimentional web diaries disclose how sophisticated the phenomenon is. The paper analyzes the potentials of blogs in business communication and identifies their advantages and disadvantages as the channel of communication. Moreover, the paper looks into the significance of blogs in the virtual communities; the research on the subject matter elaborates on the topics of the records of “free” web diaries and suggests the model of typologization. In addition, the paper reviews the development trends of the blog domain phenomenon in Lithuania. The paper is based on the relevant empirical and theoretical literature, web sources, blog systems as well as the website data. The following methods were used:... [to full text]

Full textVoIP (voice over IP protocol) is quickly growing and expanding technology. Calls and other services are much cheaper than traditional ones. Nevertheless it meets some quality problems such as packet delay and packet loss. The object of this paper is to explore voice transmitted by IP channels quality and to conclude about if that voice could be used in voice recognition systems. To complete this object, there are 4 main tasks: • Find out the technologies and working techniques of the VoIP. • Determine tools for quality analysis of the transmitted voice • Build an algorithm which could help to extract useful data from voice signal. • Summarize the results and conclude about ability to use transmitted voice in voice recognition systems. There was made 150 transmissions („Skype“ system was used) of the voice during the experiment and all of them was recorded. Fast Fourier transform was used to transform those recording to frequency scale. The quality loss was analyzed; original voice record specter was compared with transmitted voice record specter. The transmissions were divided into two parts. Transmissions was made in 2008 February (1st part) and 2008 May (2nd part). In the first part the results are almost the same, quality variations are stable (specter difference average is 1,44), all values are between 1,44 and 1,55 (specter difference average value). It was noticed that transmitted voice signal has large quality variations in the second part of the experiment. The... [to full text]

Full textThis research aims to study the mediated claims of Kanak people from New Caledonia, an overseas collectivity of French in a process of self-determination. In its contemporary context, we define the notion of claim by analyzing its processes, which enable self-definition and self-representation. These new perspectives have created a dynamic of ideological political, social, economic and cultural confrontations, which contribute to social change. Since the late 1960s, with the advent of political parties' media, the mediatization of the forms of communication of Kanak people has evolved, due to a proliferation of claims and identification processes. In this perspective, a field survey in France and Oceania has allowed us to intersect an in situ ethnographic approach with a discursive analysis of mediated interactions on the Internet, covered by Communication Science. The complementarity of these approaches intends to contribute to the deepening of a digital anthropology. Within the Internet sphere, the appropriation of digital media devices, as well as the self-publishing of mediated interactions renew the individual communicational practices and generate debates. While these debates may give rise to conflicts, they may also become a favorable modality for intercultural exchange. In addition, contemporary communication tactics allow a renewal of the ways to participate individually and collectively, by creating new forms of social and political engagement

Full textOur intention for this study was to further our understanding of the living and survival conditions associated with female homelessness in O'ahu. This empirical research aim to observe the objective and subjective experiences of these women through semi-structured qualitative interviews. More specifically, we focused specifically on the homelessness of Native Hawaiian women to answer the following questions: who are the Kanaka Maoli women experiencing homelessness? What are their living and survival conditions? How do social values, norms and social representations affect the social exclusion and marginalization experienced by them and how can it be understood from a sociological perspective? This desire for understanding is part of a broader observation of the social mechanisms that have an impact on the women we meet, more specifically with consideration for the exclusion, marginalization and violence. The margins studies are used to observe how culture, social roles and the normative orientation of action affect the lives of these women. As part of this study, interviews were conducted with twenty-nine women living in the community of Pu'uhonua O' Wai'anae, a self-managed homeless community in the West part of O'ahu. The exploration of these phenomena allows us to interpret the homelessness criminalization and social sanction as consequences of the processes of marginalization and exclusion these women face. The results indicated that living in this community would allow women to diminish the effects of several social processes experienced outside the community, such as exclusion, powerlessness and social invisibility. The self-managed community of Pu'uhonua O' Wai'anae is therefore proving to be an alternative model that meets the needs of people experiencing homelessness. By settling in the community, they discover a safe place where they can use their social agency. Rather than suffering from social exclusion, they create relationships and an inclusive community that allows them to be recognized as citizens.

Full textSince the 1998 Noumea Accord and the recognition of the Kanak identity, the International Register of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples has appeared in New Caledonia. Since the Matignon Agreement of 1989, the doctrine has focused on the sovereignty of New Caledonia, the indigenous issue is now a new aspect of Kanak decolonization. It is not directly claimed for independence, but for the rights of indigenous peoples. This point of view emancipates itself from the classical monist doctrine of the nation state, considering that other entities can claim self-determination by recognizing a proper legal system. A review of the 1958 Constitution and the analysis of administrative and judicial practices demonstrate the ability of French law to take into account the aspirations and particularities of the Kanake society. Beyond the Noumea Accord, an alternative reflection is proposed based on comparatism with Canadian law

Full textTiivistelmä Kanadan hallituksen päätöksentekijöiden näkemykset Suomesta ja suomalaisista korostavat maiden välisiä suhteita. Hallituksen arkistot paljastavat, että päättäjillä oli selvä näkökuva Suomesta ja suomalaisista, ja siihen viitattiin joko avoimesti tai peitetysti. Kanadan ja Suomen suhteet Suomen itsenäisyyden tunnustamisesta vuonna 1919 aina kylmän sodan alkuun saakka vuonna 1948 ovat ymmärrettävissä Kanadan näkökulmasta käyttämällä näkökuva-analyysia. Näkökuvat analysoidaan joko positiivisella tai negatiivisella asteikolla. Positiiviset näkökuvat Suomesta kuvaavat sitä ystävällisenä, pohjoisena rajamaana, joka oli sivistynyt, länsimainen, nykyaikainen, edistynyt, suvaitsevainen ja demokraattinen. Suomalaiset nähtiin rehellisinä, ahkerina, luotettavina ja velkansa maksajina. Asteikon toisessa päässä Suomi nähtiin vihollisena ja kauppakilpailijana. Suomalaiset voitiin myös nähdä negatiivisesti vaarallisina ja radikaaleina. Nämä näkökuvat olivat läsnä ennen maitten välisten diplomaattisuhteiden perustamista, ja jatkuivat vuorovaikutuksissa koskien siirtolaisuutta, Kansojen liittoa, kauppaa ja tieteellistä vaihtoa. Ne ovat myös nähtävissä suhteissa talvisodan aikana, päätöksessä julistaa sota Suomea vastaan jatkosodan aikana, aserauhan aikana, rauhanteon aikana sekä paluussa normaaleihin suhteisiin kylmän sodan alussa. Euroopan tapahtumilla näytti olevan myös suuri vaikutus Suomen ja Kanadan suhteisiin. Näkökuvat Suomesta ja suomalaisista eivät suoranaisesti vaikuttaneet maitten suhteisiin, koska käytännöt ja toiminnat perustuivat päättäjien mielestä realistiseen arvioon tilanteista sekä Kanadan kansallisista eduista ja kyvyistä. Tästä huolimatta näitä näkökuvia käytettiin usein rajoittamaan hyväksyttävien vaihtoehtojen valikoimaa, järkeistämään tiettyjä käytäntöjä sekä oikeuttamaan joitakin toimintoja

Full textThe rule of law in New-Caledonia on September 30 2017, is the result of the republican law exportation procedure that lasted 164 years, the expression of the Judeo-Christian civilization on a territory that is situated 22 000 kilometres from continental France and its confrontation with customary rights, which is the expression and the cement of the Melanesian Yam civilization, consolidated one thousand years after Jesus christ. After the violent colonization and the proven failure of "the french way" decolonization engaged in 1946, another decolonization desired by the Kanak people following the insurrectional crisis of 4 years, started in 1988 and came to an end in 2018,with a result, of a series of three auto-determination referendums. The new juridical paradigm is introduced at the level of the french constitution by Noumea's agreement and it has opened the paths of a flexible french juridical monism and a legal dialogue between Kanak's indigenous law and the french republican law. The Kanak people adopted in 2014 the kanak's People Chart and they have positioned themselves for a cooperative legal pluralism and is waiting for the opening of the dialogue

Full textBorn in 1985, the kanak popular schools were an "analyser" of the contradictions of the independentist movement in newcaledonia. They offered a new status to country people, to women and to children, which engendered much resistance. Pupils constitute the moving force of a development which is generated in their environment to give energy to this environment. The pedagogy used has something to do with the pedagogy of the the oppressed. In order to undestand what is, consciously or unconsciously, at stake in the kanak popular schools, the autor placing himself in a position of intercultural interview, analyses the process of genesis of the concepts, invents a method of speech analysis about official reports of the kanak popular schools inspired by the theory of catastrophes, and analyses his own institutional implication, including through poetic writing

There are three different purposes with this project:
The first is to setup a general test station with ARINC429 communication using a communications card from DDC (DD-42916i3-300) and software from Ampol Technologies (dataSIMS).
The second is to design a new interface between the test computer and the test object. As well as implementing two components in the equipment.
The third is to write two separate manuals to guide the users of this equipment. There are two different kinds of users of this equipment, technicians and system engineers. Technicians use the equipment to test and repair flight components. System engineers will implement new components in the equipment.
The result of this project is a working test station with a new interface and two manuals.

Full textPurpose/Aim: The purpose of this essay is to analyze and discuss how MTV is affected by the development that takes place on the world’s media market. The aim is also to see how MTV’s target group’s image of the channel can give guidelines in how MTV should act in this new media era.
Material/method: I have examined the development on the media market and then created a model consisting of relevant factors that could affect a TV-channel today. Those factors and the two factors image and profile are then applied on MTV. I have done three interviews with people who work at MTV Networks Nordic and one interview with a person who used to work there. I also arranged three focus groups with members within the target group of MTV (15-24 year). The questions for all of the interviews were based on theories relevant to this study.
Main results: The results from the interviews and the focus groups showed that the profile and the image of MTV did not agree completely. An example of that is that the staffs of MTV saw the channel as a youth channel while the target group saw it as a music channel. MTV seems to go from being a niche channel to becoming a broader channel, a move that is quite unusual on today’s media market where niche marketing is the main strategy for TV-channels. People within the target group 15-24 uses the Internet more than TV an average day, and the younger members of my focus groups used the Internet more than the older ones. None of the members of the target group watched TV on their mobile phone but they assumed that younger kids would use it a lot in the future. All agreed upon that MTV was a suitable channel for mobile-TV.

Full textThis thesis aims to explore how the interviewed social workers describe their experiences of, and reasons for, working from a harm reduction based approach with women in active substance use. Since harm reduction is not a common approach in Sweden, the data for this thesis has been collected in Vancouver, Canada. The method used for this thesis has been a qualitative method with semi-structured interviews. The data was later on coded into three themes: The social worker’s views of their own abilities and capacities, The social worker’s views on the needs and abilities of the women and The social worker’s views of risk from a harm reduction perspective. The collected data has been analyzed with the help of a theory on social work as ethics work and a social interactionist theory. The social workers interviewed described that they experienced that they had more flexibility, could meet women where they are at and become more non-judgemental when working from a harm reduction based approach. The social workers described that they felt a trust in harm reduction, that they had developed a more realistic approach to the women, that the power imbalance decreased and that their view of risk had broadened. The social workers experienced that they had become more flexible when assessing risk, which they also viewed as a reason for working from a harm reduction approach. They also argued for the approach by saying it made them feel better, that the harm reduction philosophy matched their own values and that the approach gives the women more space to define their problems and needs on their own.
