Fjällström, Mattis. "Shot Selection Strategies in Video News Story Tracking." Thesis, Uppsala University, Department of Information Technology, 2008. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-88730.

Abstract:

When tracking a news story a user typically chooses a story as input for a query. The computer system then tries to find stories similar to the one used as input. Earlier attempts at video news tracking used all shots in a story, regardless of whether they improved the query or not. Some of those shots are bound to be disruptive to the matching process.

Due to this problem with the current methods, we propose a shot selection method which utilizes the similarity between shots within a story to automatically extract shots that are highly representative of the story content. Specifically, three methods are proposed: a) similar shot exclusion; b) similar shot inclusion; and c) length based shot selection. This paper describes experiments performed on Japanese broadcast news video. We find that being restrictive with what shots to include can improve tracking performance. In certain cases, drastically.

von, Grothusen Beata. "User Engagement Metrics in Story Focused News Articles." Thesis, KTH, Skolan för elektroteknik och datavetenskap (EECS), 2020. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-279507.

Abstract:
Story-focused news articles are a different type of news articles, containing more visual and interactive elements, developed in order to engage a younger audience for online newspapers. User engagement has been defined as the “emotional, cognitive and behavioral connection between a user and a resource”, and different metrics are used to track the user engagement of the readers on these articles. However, there is no prior research on which of these metrics describe user engagement in the most accurate way. This study therefore aims to find out what metrics to use when measuring user engagement on story-focused articles through interviewing readers of three different story-focused articles and compare their engagement levels with actual metric values tracked. The results show that two out of the three articles can be considered engaging according to the definition, and the metrics they both have in common is high values of scroll depth, low values of bounce rate and high values of page views. The study therefore concludes that a combination of these three metrics describes user engagement in the most accurate way possible. Furthermore, both the engaging articles have a large number of images, galleries and videos compared to the non-engaging article, which indicates that visual elements in different forms are a winning concept for story-focused articles.
Nyhetsartiklar som fokuserar på berättande är en ny typ av nyhetsartiklar som innehåller fler visuella och interaktiva element, utvecklade för att engagera en yngre publik för digitala nyhetssidor. Användarengagemang har tidigare definierats som det “emotionella, kognitiva och beteendemässiga kontakten mellan användaren och resursen”, och olika mätetal används för att mäta användarengagemanget hos läsarna av nyhetsartiklar som fokuserar på berättande. Däremot finns det ingen tidigare forskning på vilka av dessa mätetal som beskriver användarengagemang på bäst sätt. Den här studien har därför som mål att ta reda på vilka mätetal som borde användas vid mätning av användarengagemang för nyhetsartiklar som fokuserar på berättande, genom att intervjua läsare av tre olika artiklar och jämföra deras engagemangsnivå med uppmätta mätetal. Resultaten visar att 2 av de 3 artiklarna kan anses engagerande enligt definitionen, och mätetalen som de båda har gemensamt är ett högt genomsnittligt scrolldjup, låg nivå av studsar och höga siffror för sidvisningar. Studien drar därför slutsatsen att en kombination av dessa tre mätetal beskriver användarengagemang på bästa möjliga sätt. Dessutom har båda de engagerande artiklarna ett stort antal bilder, gallerier och videor jämfört med den icke engagerande artikeln, vilket indikerar att visuella element av olika slag är ett vinnande koncept för historieberättande artiklar.

Abstract:
The thesis explores the rhetorical properties of the modem news report. In order to account for the distinctive style of news reporting it extends Systemic Functional Linguistic theories of the interpersonal to develop new analyses of the semantics of attitude, evaluation and inter-subjective positioning. It applies these analyses to identify three distinct interpersonal modes of news reporting style which will be termed journalistic 'voices'. These analyses are used to explicate the rhetorical properties of the voice most typically associated with 'hard news' reporting, to be termed 'reporter voice'. The thesis also examines the textual structure and genre status of two sub-types of news report, those items grounded in material activity sequences and those in communicative events such as speeches and interviews. Several chapters explore the functional connections between these two media text types and traditional narrative and argument genres. The chapters present the argument that linear, syntagmatic models of text structure of the type developed previously for analysis of, for example, the narrative are unable to account for the functionality of these news reports. An alternative 'orbital' model of textuality is presented by which relationships of specification are seen to operate between a central textual nucleus and dependent satellites. These various textual features are located in a diachronic context by means of a brief examination of the historical evolution of news reporting. The thesis then concludes by exploring how these various features of voice and text structure combine to produce a text type with a distinct rhetorical potential. It is argued that the modern news report has distinctive textual characteristics which equip it to naturalise ideologically informed judgements about social significance and the moral order.

Abstract:
This study looked at how different formats of online news story can affect the way users read and understand it.The researcher formatted one story taken off the wire into two different ways: simple text story and a story customized for Web presentation. As an example the researcher used the style of MSNBC.com, one of nation's leading providers of original online news content.One hundred and sixty subjects who participated in the study were split into two different groups reflecting their online reading habits: the users who read news in full (or slow readers) and the users who scan and/or skim online information (fast readers). Both groups were exposed to each type of online story presentation.With the help of an online instrument created for the purpose of this study the researcher monitored subjects' reading speeds and recall of different types of story.The data collected in the experiment were analyzed through two-way Analysis of Variance, or ANOVA, with equal sample sizes.Initial analysis of the data revealed no significant difference between the way both types of readers recalled the two stories. Further analysis, however, showed that the type of story presentation had an effect on the speed with which certain categories of subjects read the stories. Subsequent analysis revealed that it was fast readers who took statistically significant less amounts of time to read the story formatted for online presentation.

Shaw, Paul James. "An investigation into the influences on journalists in television news story construction." Thesis, University of Gloucestershire, 2005. http://eprints.glos.ac.uk/3112/.

Abstract:
Television news is a key provider of information within British society, investing those who produce it with power to determine what is 'important' and 'interesting'. In this context I set out, through observation and interview in the newsrooms of Channel Four, HTV West and BBC I Midlands Today, to gain insight into how journalists think and behave when selecting and constructing news stories. I sought to examine the effects of routine practices and the extent to which reporters and editors reflect on their decision making. In addition, I conducted a close reading of the headline item from the bulletin produced in each newsroom on the same day as my visit, in order to draw comparison between what editors and reporters articulate as important in a newsroom setting, and what appears to be the case in manifest content. While considering a wide range of influential factors, an overriding objective was to assess the specific role of 'news value'. Do journalists consciously apply individual criteria? Are newsrooms organised so that editors and reporters routinely privilege certain subjects as 'news' and not others? Is there a journalistic tendency to 'notice', perceive and 'frame' events as a set of familiar types? In examining these questions, special attention was given to the conceptual model developed by Galtung & Ruge (1965), in order to assess its relevance in the 'real' newsroom environment. My findings suggested that journalists do not openly reflect on newsworthiness in a systematic way. The complex task of preparing a story ready for broadcast was achieved in a manner that was almost automatic. Attitudes and behaviour appeared to be driven by routines, with decisions made quickly and with minimal outward reflection. In conversation, the importance of visual impact and drama, and an emphasis on negativity, emerged as being significant, although subsequent analysis of output suggested that other criteria may also be influential, for example a concentration on 'elite' subject matter. Overall, however, there seemed to be a lack of ability or willingness to discuss selection in a conceptual manner and newsworthiness was explained and 'justified' by reference to actual examples of stories or subject matter.

Full text
Abstract:
This study has designed to test whether or not the use of metaphors affects audience recall and retention of news. The study is designed to test the hypotheses that metaphors help the reader recall a greater amount of information immediately after exposure (i.e., short-term memory, identified in this study as recall), and that metaphors aid in a greater amount of information retained at a later date (i.e., long-term memory, identified in this study as retention). Recall and retention help demonstrate whether or not metaphors promote reader understanding and remembering of facts in news stories better than in stories that do not use metaphors or images.The methodology of this study consisted of two tests in which subjects answered open-ended questions to see if the presence of metaphors aided in retention and recall of information. Two versions of a newspaper story with identical news were presented. The metaphor story contained one primary metaphorical image which ran continuously throughout the story. The nonmetaphor story featured no manipulation by the researcher. The first test measured the amount of information recalled immediately after exposure to a given story. The second test took place five days after the initial exposure.Using a MANOVA repeated measures design, the researcher found a difference between the metaphor and nonmetaphor variables and significant difference between the recall and retention variables, but no interaction between all of the independent variables. Therefore, this study did not support the hypothesis that news stories with metaphors aid in both recall (short-term memory) and retention (long-term memory) of information.

Mule, Jessica Loko. "The Effects of Native Advertising Disclosure and Advertising Recognition on Perceptions of News Story and News Website Credibility: A Consumer Neuroscience Approach." Master's thesis, Faculty of Commerce, 2021. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/33889.

Full text
Abstract:
The use of Native Advertising has sparked ethical concerns, due to its controversial nature inherent in its definition - a paid form of advertising that disguises persuasive communications as the editorial content of the publishing media outlet. The growing popularity of Native Advertising practices over the past decade in online news publishing has contributed towards the increasingly blurred lines between commercial and editorial content which in turn engenders feelings of deception in consumers and threatens to lower the trustworthiness of news publishers as an objective source. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to undertake theory testing guided by the tenets of the Persuasion Knowledge Model [PKM] (Friestad & Wright, 1994) to uncover insights on whether disclosure serves as an effective measure in publishers' efforts of mitigating the potential of consumer deception. In particular, this study investigated the relationships between: (1) effect of disclosure label positioning on advertising recognition; (2) mediating influence of visual attention on the aforementioned relationship; and (3) effect of advertising recognition on Inference of Manipulation [IMI] and perceptions of the online news publishers' credibility. The study used a quantitative multi-methodology research approach. An innovative Neuromarketing approach was undertaken through a psychophysiological-based analysis of visual attention to disclosure, measured as Fixation (ms/m) using eye-tracking technology, in addition to self-reported measures obtained via an online survey. In line with similar past studies, this study used convenience non-probability sampling and random assignment of participants to experimental groups, on a sample of 87 students between the ages of 20-29 years from the University of Cape Town (UCT). Findings showed no significant difference in the likelihood of advertising recognition, neither between the groups presented with a disclosure and those not, nor between the varying positions of disclosure. Additionally, advertising recognition had a positive influence on perceptions of credibility, contrary to theory and evidence from past studies (described in the Literature Review). Thus, it was concluded that disclosure and advertising recognition are necessary antecedents for critical processing and formation of judgement, but by themselves are not sufficient for perceived transparency and subsequent evaluations of the publisher's credibility. This study presents design implications for practitioners in the online news publishing industry and marketers: the perceived utility of the sponsored content, along with sponsorship transparency through disclosure, plays an important role in minimizing the negative influence of advertising recognition on perceived credibility.

Abstract:
The main objective of master thesis is to analyse the selection of negative stories in TV news of chosen commercial TV broadcaster with a focus on the relationship between negative stories and the impact of advertisement. At the beginning, the theoretical analysis devotes to mass media and matters related to audience, the media influence, and historical development of views on media content. After that, the next part is dedicated to TV news. The research has been based on the analysis of documents, in-depth interviews and the analysis of previous study. They have helped to find the answers on the problematic questions that are to find in the last overview chapter. The master thesis provides one of possible views on TV news of commercial TV broadcaster and can lead to thinking about the influence of negative news on advertiser in the commercial break.

Abstract:
Characterization in Pulitzer-awarded features and traditional features was measured using a characterization typology developed by the author. Although some of the results were statistically constrained by a small n, those results which were statistically significant reflect that what separates Pulitzer-winning features from regular features are those elements of characterization particular to scene: a character's distinctive physical characteristics, clothing and possessions; the setting and environment as it defines a character; a physical description of character that is not lineament nor habitual posture or expression but bodily appearance in the immediate moment; a character's movements and actions, facial expressions, words, and thoughts. In an era when the predicted demise of newspapers is more fact than fiction, the reader's experience with newspapers is paramount. Crucial to the news reading experience is the reader's enjoyment: how "I" experienced a story through empathy, parasocial interaction, and/or identification. Perhaps a solution to newspapers' loss of readership is scene: within scene, fear, anguish, exhilaration, and joy are not only the experiences of the characters, but also that of the reader's.

Abstract:
Die von Tumorzellen exzessiv exprimierte Laktat-Dehydrogenase 5 (LDH-A) ist das Schlüssel-Enzym für den katalytischen Stoffwechsel um Pyruvat in Laktat unter Gewinnung von Energie umzuwandeln. Bei LDH handelt es sich um einen wichtigen prognostischen Marker für die Einstufung der Aggressivität und die Behandlung von Tumoren. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, das Wissen um die Funktion des Genproduktes von LDH-A (LDH-V) in Bezug auf die Proliferation von Tumorzellen, die Expression Angiogenese-Gene, maligne Konversion von Tumoren und die Metastasierung zu vertiefen. Zusätzlich sollte die Rolle von LDH auf die Genexpression HIF-regulierter Proteine, die das Überleben von Tumorzellen und vor allem der Glykolyse fördern, untersucht werden. Hierfür wurden LDH-A knockdown-Klone von dem murinen B16F10 Melanom und Lewis Lung Karzinom sowie dem humanem HT29 Kolonkarzinom generiert und in vitro und in vivo in den drei verschiedenen Tumormodellen untersucht. Der knockdown von LDH-A führte in vitro zu einer Hemmung der Proliferation in Lewis Lung und B16F10, während bei HT29 Tumorzellen kein solcher Effekt beobachtet werden konnte. Interessanterweise ließen sich nicht bei allen drei Zelllinien die durch limitierte LDH Aktivität ausgelösten Effekte auf die in vitro Proliferation auf das Tumorwachstum in vivo übertragen: Das Wachstum der Lewis Lung als auch der HT29 Tumoren in vivo war durch die Reduktion von LDH-A drastisch vermindert, während die Größe der B16F10 Tumoren davon nicht beeinflusst war. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass B16F10 Tumoren unter LDH Suppression verstärkt VEGF exprimieren. Dadurch waren diese Zellen in vivo in der Lage, durch verstärkte Vaskularisierung des Tumors der durch LDH-A knockdown ausgelösten Hemmung des Tumorwachstums zu entkommen. Bei Lewis Lung Tumorzellen hingegen, führte die Unterdrückung von LDH-V zu einer beeinträchtigten Glukoseaufnahme unter normoxischen sowie hypoxischen Bedingungen. Die reduzierte Aufnahme von Glukose hatte in vivo, in einer vielschichtigen komplexen Struktur, deutlich größere Auswirkungen als auf einer eindimensionalen Zellkulturschale. Die Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Arbeit liefern neue Erkenntnisse zur Rolle von LDH-V während der Tumorprogression und können als Grundlage für zukünftige, neue Therapiestrategien bei Krebspatienten dienen.
LDH is an important prognostic marker in cancer staging and therapy. High serum LDH activity is associated with poor patient prognosis in different tumor types. LDH-A has been shown to play a major role in tumor malignancy, but the molecular mechanism behind this role is only starting to be understood. The objective of this work was to broaden our knowledge about the role of LDH-A gene product (LDH-V) in tumor cell proliferation, angiogenesis-related gene expression, tumor malignancy and metastasis. Herein, LDH-A shRNA knockdown clones of murine B16F10 melanoma, Lewis Lung carcinoma and human HT29 colon carcinoma were generated to uncover the molecular mechanisms between diminished ability of metabolizing pyruvate to lactate and tumor cell growth in vitro and in vivo. In this study, a significant correlation between tumor weight and serum LDH in in vivo tumor models was found, which additionally correlated with the in vitro LDH secretion. In vitro, suppression of LDH-A led to anti-proliferative effects in Lewis Lung and B16F10 tumor cells, while having no effect on HT29 cells. Interestingly, the consequence of limiting LDH activity in vitro did not show a direct correlation to the in vivo anti-tumor effects in LDH-deficient tumors: B16F10 tumor growth was unaffected by silencing LDH-A, while Lewis Lung and HT29 demonstrated a drastic reduction in tumor growth in vivo. B16F10 tumors were found to have increased VEGF expression upon LDH knockdown, and therefore were able to compensate the tumor growth inhibition-driven by LDH deficiency through increased tumor vascularization in vivo. In contrast, LDH-V suppressed Lewis Lung cells demonstrated an impeded glucose uptake ability under normoxic and hypoxic conditions. Subsequently, a genome-wide gene expression analysis and functional assays of LDH-A deficient and control HT29 clones revealed potential new oncogenic features of LDH-A in tumor migration and invasion as well as a feedback loop to HIF1alpha. In summary, the collective data presented in this thesis provide new insights of LDH-V in tumor progression and therapeutic strategies for the treatment of cancer.

Full text
Abstract:

The full moon rising in the dark sky and the river of stars in the Milky Way galaxy have fascinated humans since their first days on Earth. For the ancients, the universe was so alive that they could not help but share its awe and wonder, and they created myths to live by. In modern times, this intimate connection to the universe seems to have been lost. This dissertation explores and rediscovers the profound sense of human embeddedness and participation in this grandeur, the dynamic universe evolving for over 13.8 billion years, through reflection on the cosmologies of Shinto, Tantra, and cosmogenesis.

This dissertation argues that when Shinto and Tantra are placed in a dialectical relationship in the context of cosmogenesis, all are enhanced, providing a new way of consciously participating in the sacred universe. Shinto affirms the sacred nature of the phenomenal world and celebrates the powers of the universe through ritual ceremonies. Tantra shows a way to fully realize the infinite consciousness of the universe through meditation. Cosmogenesis provides the perspective of being inside of the universe, and thus of being embedded in its unfolding in each moment.

To embody the new cosmology that arises from the integration of the wisdom of the three cosmologies, I suggest a new practice: Two way falling in love. This is a tool to see the sacred nature of every form of existence, to see how they are interconnected, and how the whole is reflected in each part by zooming into the smallest and zooming out to the largest with love, simultaneously. Human beings, when situated in the course of the evolution of the universe can develop an identity as an earthling with cosmic roots, becoming the awe and wonder of the universe. This project hopes to inspire those who seek to mend the distorted human relationship with the Earth and the universe, and to help those seekers find their own unique way to enter into an intimate and participatory relationship with the universe.

Abstract:
This thesis proposes a study of a new postmodern prose fiction genre, the short-short story. Considerations of generic classifications and boundaries are followed by an historical overview and analysis of short fiction from the nineteenth to twenty-first centuries, especially under the influence of the Russian Anton Chekhov, who is regarded as the father of the modern short story. The postmodern short-short story is seen as emerging from this trend, a hybrid genre with characteristics of the narrative language of other prose genres such as the short story and the journalistic writing. The cluster of features, such as condensation, lack of character development, surprise endings, etc., which is seen as characteristic of the short-short story are discussed, and ten examples are summarized and analyzed, including two traditional short stories for contrast. It is seen that the short-short story may be further broken into what is called 'the new sudden fiction', and the even shorter and more radical 'flash fiction'.
Esta dissertação se debruça sobre o estudo de um novo gênero da ficção literária pós-moderna o mini-conto. Discussões sobre classificações genéricas e limites são seguidas por uma análise e visão geral histórica da ficção curta do século XIX ao XXI, especialmente sob a influência do russo Antón Pávlovitch Tchekhov, o qual é considerado o pai do conto moderno. O mini-conto pós-moderno é retratado como que tendo ascendido dessa corrente, um gênero híbrido com características da linguagem narrativa de outros gêneros da prosa literária tais como o conto e a escrita jornalística. Um grupo de características, tais como concisão ou brevidade, ausência de desenvolvimento das personagens, finais surpreendentes, etc., as quais são vistas como traços do mini-conto, são sugeridas, e dez exemplos são resumidos e analisados, inclusive dois contos tradicionais para efeito de comparação. Considera-se que o mini-conto provavelmente se desdobrará no que hoje é chamado the new sudden fiction, e na sua outra versão ainda mais curta e radical denominada flash fiction.

As the thesis explains, the film changed slightly from the prospectus, however the resulting film was successful in telling the history of the little-known New Orleans Greys.

Abstract:
This thesis applies narrative as theory and method to explore a growing body of interdisciplinary scholarship that connects a holistic and process understanding of the world (a “New Story”) with social and ecological justice (or “positive peace”). First, the indirect violence of global poverty and environmental destruction are examined in terms of the dissipation of individual responsibility amid political, economic and social institutions. Second, a connection is made between these structural forms of violence and one-dimensional narratives. Drawing from an argument shared by process thinkers Charles Birch, Alan Watts and Thomas Berry, I critique the “Old Story” of one-dimensional religious narratives, and one-dimensional reductionistic narratives of the “Modern Story”. These stories are contrasted with a multi-dimensional and ecological worldview that Berry calls a “New Story”, which narrates an understanding of the self, humanity and the cosmos as one interconnecting process. This process understanding of the world is shown to be located in a rich and vast history of panentheistic theology. This research concludes that the narratological “New Story” engages conflicting worldviews, enables “positive conflict” and motivates action toward a long-term vision of positive peace.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to show which content that is most common in the Swedish News Agency TT Nyhetsbyrån’s sports coverage. It also shows if the coverage is concentrated to for example any special sports, clubs, people or topics. This study uses a quantitative content analysis and the result is based on texts from 28 systematically selected days during one year. In total, the study includes 906 texts. The result of this study shows that the sports content of TT Nyhetsbyrån’s news feed is mainly concentrated to two sports, football/soccer and ice hockey. Several studies of other Sports Media show the same result as this study in terms of news content.  One of the conclusions is that the sports coverage is focused on athletes and teams at a professional level. Only a few sports, almost entirely practiced by men, is represented in the reporting. There are also other attributes that seem important for the news coverage. One of the most common attributes is that a big part of the news texts includes Swedish Athletes. Another important attribute is that the news can be related to a country that is close to Sweden in culture.

Abstract:
This thesis is focusing on how to gain performance when executing programs on a CPU. More specifically the store instructions are studied. These instructions often cause huge delays while waiting on write per- mission for a particular data block. If an out-of-order (OoO) CPU fills up the entire store buffer with stores waiting for write permission, the CPU has to stall, and cycles are going to be wasted. To over overcome this issue, the idea is to use predictors to try to predict which write per- missions that are needed in the future and brought it to the L1 cache in advance. This method is similar to that of the branch predictor where the CPU is fed with instructions to start working in advance based on the prediction of whether or not a branch is to be taken. Naturally, you would want the prediction to be correct, but even if we assume that the predictor always grants needed write permission ahead of time there might still be a problem, and that is when to grant store permission for the data block. Too late and you still need to wait since the need for it occurs before it is in place. Too early and it is going to be evicted from the L1 cache due to space issues, and there are going to be an idle time bring it back in when the need occurs. Furthermore, it is also a waste of energy since we brought in something to be evicted before use. The question I aim to answer with this master thesis is when to prefetch data permission to gain optimal performance.

Full text
Abstract:
Given that a quoting author is first a reader of a text and on the presupposition that communication is both cooperative and dialogical, this study considers quotation from a fresh perspective. Our thesis is that, in many cases, NT quotation of the OT promotes transformation on the lifeworld/worldview level by evoking theological tradition. The first part of the study unpacks the elements of this hypothesis, including: intertextuality and the function of quotation; types of “context”; the author/text/reader interaction and the implied author/reader construct; textual tradition and the relationship of Story to lifeworld/worldview and theology; the evoking of Story and activation of mutual context via quotation; and the resulting transformation of lifeworld/worldview, theology and Story. The methodology we create to explore the transformational nature of quotation frames these elements within a model of communicative interaction based on speech-act theory. Our action model includes the illocutionary and perlocutionary acts of the implied author as well as the illocutionary effect of understanding and the associated perlocutionary effects (responses of belief and/or action) of the implied reader. By holding the author, reader and text in creative tension, we present meaning as cooperative, thus bridging the chasm between authorial intention and reader response. We distinguish three reader roles: (i) an Independent reader ignores the illocutionary and perlocutionary acts, (ii) an Analyst achieves the illocutionary response (understanding) but is either unwilling or unable to respond with an associated perlocutionary effect, and (iii) an Envisager understands the illocutionary act and also responds with an associated perlocutionary effect. Perlocution thus reveals the transformational response of the implied reader as well as the implied author’s intentions for lifeworld/worldview, Story and theology. Making a perlocutionary response associated with the illocution means that an empirical reader moves beyond understanding to transformation. To evaluate the purposes of NT authors and readers in communicative interaction with regard to a specific quotation, we first determine the contribution of the quoted passage and its co-text to lifeworld/worldview, theology and Story and assess what it would mean to be an Envisaging reader of the quoted text. Then we determine whether the NT author uses the quotation to transform the lifeworld/worldview, theology and Story of the NT audience by evoking the theological Story-lines of the source text. Our examples and case studies come from the OT Psalms. The first case study is the quotation of Psalm 115:1a LXX in 2 Corinthians 4:13. We investigate the claim that Paul takes this verse “out of context” and we also consider the contention that Paul reads the psalm messianically. In the second case study, we examine the transformational efforts of various NT authors who quote Psalm 110:1.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is the first systematic study of short stories published in the New Statesman [NS] weekly magazine from its foundation in 1913 to 1939. The main question it seeks to address is what type of fiction did a mainstream socialist publication like the NS publish then? By chronologically charting dominant literary figures and themes, the thesis aims to discern significant cultural tendencies and editorial principles of selection. Following Raymond Williams' 'cultural materialism', fiction is read in its relation to social history, as a 'representation of history'. Chapter 1 deals with the foundation of the journal and its first year of publication, mapping out the contradictions between Fabian collectivist ideology and ethical socialism, urban realism and literary Georgianism, country and city. A focus on urban problems of poverty unemployment, philanthropy, and machinofacture is at the heart of the NS's literary concern, in 1913. Chapter 2 focuses on stories published during World War I, and goes up to 1926. It argues that the reality of the War was falsified as a time of rest and relaxation, in line with the journal's political policy of supporting the war effort. The immediate post-war period is read as a time of disappointment and intensified social conflict and struggle. The General Strike of 1926 is a turning point in interwar history. It also ushers in a period of unprecedented cultural activity in the NS. As Chapters 4 and 5 show, the post-Strike period is characterised by the consolidation of the working-class fiction of socialist R. M. Fox; by the rise of the countryside realism of H. E. Bates; and by the rise of the colonial fiction of E. R. Morrough on Egypt (which is examined in the context of Leslie Mitchell's, E. M. Forster's, and William Plomer's responses to empire). Significant contributions by women writers (such as Faith Compton Mackenzie) about travel, duty, and oppression are also made in the late 20s, early 30s. Chapter 6 is dedicated to the magnificent place that Russian fiction occupies in the 30s through the work of Michael Zoshchenko. Though written during the free and experimental 20s, his satiric fiction is published as a sample of Soviet literature of the 30s, thus consolidating the Stalinist line dictated by the political editor, Kingsley Martin, that 'self-criticism' is a central part of Soviet politics and society. Chapter 7 is a tribute to the NS's contribution to reconstructing British realism away from both Victorian moralism and European naturalism. The stories of Bates, V. S. Pritchett, and Peter Chamberlain are dominant, conveying different ways of negotiating the pressures of documentary realism and the political developments of the 30s. Also discussed is the unique modernist contribution of neglected Stella Benson, which presents a strong challenge to the usual representationalism of NS fiction. The concluding chapter reads NS fiction in the whole period between 1913 and 1939 as the cultural expression of the new petty bourgeoisie, especially its progressive, politically and socially engaged side. With its focus on ordinariness and lived experience, and its formal experimentation and innovation, NS fiction exemplifies artistic commitment par excellence, a conscious cultural alignment with the actuality and potentiality of the new petty bourgeoisie.

Abstract

In this study we have analyzed a television news show in Sweden for children – Lilla Aktuellt

– from a gender perspective. We have analyzed the program both from quantitative and

qualitative aspects. In the quantitative analysis of twelve episodes we compared females and

males in the following respects: number of participants and for how long the participants were

allowed to speak. In the qualitative analysis of three episodes we aimed to discover what

different roles and stereotypes the participants displayed.

We have in our study applied the theory about gender and the theory of representation,

stereotypes and identity with the aim to find out if the girls/women and the boys/men

appearing in the programs were ascribed different characteristics and attributes and if they

were divided in different spheres.

Our study shows that the allotment between the genders in Lilla Aktuellt is very even. In our

quantitative analysis the participants were approximately 51 percent girls and women and 49

percent boys and men. The same allocation between females and males applied when it came

to for how long the participants were allowed to speak. In our qualitative analysis we found

that the children and the adults did represent different stereotypes and played different roles

but that there were hardly any differences in this respect between the genders.

Abstract:
While certain scholars are lamenting that literature has become less relevant in these postmodern times, I have found that this is not at all the case. What is actually happening is that literature is the process of change, due in no small part to our blossoming visual culture. Interweaving Native American and dominant culture literatures, this document explores the ways narrative has historically played a critical role, not only in constructing human identity, but also in defining our relationship with place. More recently, new literary hybrids, with various degrees of intertwining text with image, are proliferating. These literatures of image are propelling us beyond postmodernism into a new era.

Abstract:
The formal analysis of ongoing television series brings with it many challenges. And despite significant contributions to this area of inquiry, it still remains an aspect of television studies that receives less critical attention than the analysis of a programme’s content. This thesis hopes to make a contribution to the field by developing flexible and comprehensive analytical tools that will allow scholars to analyse television series that are vast and, often, still in the process of ‘construction’. Specifically, I want to define some of the core structural principles that allow a series to engage in what I term ‘coherent expansion’: that is, the process of multiplying narrative elements such as plotlines, characters and settings, while still attempting to retain a coherent formal identity. I will demonstrate that such coherence emerges not from any immovable arrangement of parts, but rather from a systematic ability to rearrange parts. Governing this process are the show’s serial narrative dynamics – a term I develop to define the shifting relations between individual characters and the collective communities they form. Drawing on discussion of narrative form in relation to television as well as literature and film, I examine how theoretically boundless potential is shaped into a bounded spectrum of possibilities for narrative generation in any given series. Although the foundational characteristics of television narrative have long been acknowledged – their reliance on recurring characters, their extended temporalities and, consequently, their exposure to contingency – less attention is paid to how these characteristics come to operate as they do. And it is precisely the question ‘how’ that is the recurring question of this thesis: how characters’ placements within a community helps to define and delimit the identity of each, including delineating the possibilities of character change; how established dynamics between characters and communities allow for the generation of new plotlines; how hierarchies within the dynamics allow a series to adapt to (sometimes unplanned) change; and how the deconstruction of these dynamics can help achieve closure in a series’ finale. Crucially, the concepts developed in this thesis are intended to be applicable across a wide range of television narratives, both episodic and serial, ‘traditional’ and ‘complex’. In doing so, I hope to transcend the discourses around ‘quality’ and ‘complex’ television that sometimes isolate these modes from more ‘simple’ and ‘traditional’ narratives. Instead, I want to trace a kind of structural heritage that runs through television narratives. Using detailed case studies of Cheers, Glee, Orange is the New Black and Mad Men, as well a broad range of other examples, I wish to demonstrate how the same fundamental structural principles can be shaped into a wide array of possible forms.

Abstract:
Over the course of reading development, children are able to recognise an increasingly large number of words by sight, a process termed orthographic learning, as they move from effortful decoding to fast, efficient word recognition. Phonological decoding has been shown to account for some, but not all variance in orthographic learning. While it is clear that reading experience plays a crucial role, the mechanisms underlying orthographic learning require further investigation. The research presented in this thesis had two overarching objectives: first, to establish a novel, sensitive measure of orthographic learning, using the prime-lexicality effect in lexical decision to index the lexicalisation of novel words, and second, to investigate the effects of specific parameters of reading experience on the learning of novel words. In particular, the experiments focussed on incidental, non-directed learning of unfamiliar English words via story reading. Learning was assessed in terms of knowledge of the novel word spellings and meanings themselves, and their engagement with existing words in the lexicon, indexed by the prime-lexicality effect. Five experiments manipulated directed vs. incidental learning, number of exposures, the availability of semantics, and the variability of the story contexts. Across experiments, children showed good learning of the novel words, and a prime-lexicality effect emerged, validating this novel measure. Number of exposures affected lexicalisation of the novel words, as a prime-lexicality effect was evident after twelve exposures, but not after four. Performance was otherwise unaffected by the experimental manipulations, revealing robust orthographic learning in children aged 9 to 11.

Abstract:
Ghanaian author Ama Ata Aidoo is particularly renowned in her native country for being one of the first writers to draw international attention thanks to her composite body of work (prose, drama, poetry) in English; her writings vividly represents the day to day struggles of a country and its citizens (particularly women) facing an ever more globalised world, all of this in a language which is not her native one. Despite the remarkable variety of indigenous languages, Ghana has chosen to maintain English as its official language after independence, using it both in formal contexts (such as law and education) and as an everyday means of communication. Records show that English has undergone a number of adaptations to express local culture-bound meanings and yet scholars have long debated on whether or not to consider Ghanaian English (GhE) a proper variety of English, still failing to find a definitive agreement. This work will take one of Ama Ata Aidoo’s short stories, A Gift from Somewhere, as a specimen of GhE writings and will offer an Italian translation of it, analysing the most common GhE linguistic innovations and evaluating the challenges new Englishes pose to translators towards other target languages (e.g. Italian). In doing so, this dissertation aims to participate in the broader discussion about the ways, reasons and goals of translating new Englishes writings.

Full text
Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate the value of proper attention to ‘story structure’ in the study of Acts. The thesis works towards this aim in three stages. First, in chapters 1 and 2, the thesis develops the methodological framework of story structure which is proposed to consist of two interacting components: (top down) macro-structure which places an individual episode within the governing context of the story layers to which it contributes, and (bottom up) the way the meaning of an individual episode is shaped from and by its narrative clauses. Second, chapters 3-5 use the methodology of chapters 1-2 to support and guide a close reading of the narrative arc of the twelve apostles as Luke narrates their evolving story in Acts 1–12. This reading is focused by a question, appropriate to the narrative properties of Luke-Acts, about the goals of the Twelve (disclosed primarily in Luke 22:14-30 and Acts 1:1-12) and the steps taken by the Twelve to actualise those goals. Attention to the story structure of Acts 1–12 reveals that the narrative arc of the Twelve complies with Aristotle’s preferred ‘tragic’ shape, pivoting from initial rising success to ultimate failure around the turning point of 6:1-7, which discloses that the downfall of the Twelve is caused by their over-emphasis of the mission to Jerusalem and their ‘tragic flaw’ of hubris. Third, chapter 6 considers the implications of the methodology and application stages of chapters 1-5 for the contested debate over the restoration of the kingdom to Israel (Acts 1:6) and concludes against those like Jervell who see a completed restoration of Israel in Acts. The thesis then ends by considering implications of the research for wider exegetical issues such as the genre, plot and purpose of Acts.

The focus of this study is the variety of space height in a dwelling unit of multi-story housing. This thesis introduces a new space type, named as 'stepped-level' type. The idea of stepped-level type came from the fact that a dwelling is normally composed of two bays. The multi-story housing of the stepped-level type can have spaces of different heights in a unit of the dwellings. The floor heights of the stepped-level type can be chosen by the designers without any design constraints. I propose a method to design with this type and give some support designs as an example. The role & place of this 'space type' in architectural design process is discussed in Chapter 3. The characteristics of this type are revealed by comparing two relative groups of space types in Chapter 4. The way of making the stepped-level type and its tools are described in Chapter 5. Support designs of stepped-level are illustrated in Chapter 6.

Abstract:
This study looks at history teaching as a reflection of the circumstances and interests that shaped the nature of Palestinian society, Arab and Jewish, in mandate Palestine. It examines the pedagogical and political roots of educational segregation between Arabs and Jews, tracing the causes that turned it into an impervious practice and explores the engagement of both communities with the education of the national other and the reciprocal influence of this engagement on both education systems. The thesis examines the sociology of particularly Arab, but also Hebrew knowledge, focusing on who wrote history textbooks and why, what were the cultural and intellectual influences involved in this process, and how was history instrumentalised for the creation of a new identity, shedding light on the conscious or unconscious manner in which colonial historiographic paradigms wrote themselves into these textbooks. The juxtaposition of Arabic and Hebrew textbooks underlines the centrality of the conflict in moulding exclusive notions of collectivity and territoriality through the narration of the past. The second part of the project discusses the institutionalisation of this historiography into an educational policy, through curricula, syllabi and exams. I focus on the colonial logic behind this policy, highlighting its inconsistent educational rationale. By analysing the pedagogic discourse of Arab educators and essays written by students, I argue that a growing community of educators and students countered the British policy, seeking to make sense and find an authentic voice within the contours of colonial reality. The thesis concludes with an examination of the teaching of history beyond the history course, analysing the omnipresence of history in the students' lives and their interpretation of it, underlying the differences between the Arab and Hebrew communities in their ability to disseminate a shared, historical consciousness. This analysis of Arabic and Hebrew sources discloses the uncanny resemblance between the production of historical education in both communities, which nonetheless contributed in both cases to driving them apart rather than opening any space for commonality.
