Abstract:

We present the robot developed within the Hobbit project, a socially assistive service robot aiming at the challenge of enabling prolonged independent living of elderly people in their own homes. We present the second prototype (Hobbit PT2) in terms of hardware and functionality improvements following first user studies. Our main contribution lies within the description of all components developed within the Hobbit project, leading to autonomous operation of 371 days during field trials in Austria, Greece, and Sweden. In these field trials, we studied how 18 elderly users (aged 75 years and older) lived with the autonomously interacting service robot over multiple weeks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time a multifunctional, low-cost service robot equipped with a manipulator was studied and evaluated for several weeks under real-world conditions. We show that Hobbit’s adaptive approach towards the user increasingly eased the interaction between the users and Hobbit. We provide lessons learned regarding the need for adaptive behavior coordination, support during emergency situations, and clear communication of robotic actions and their consequences for fellow researchers who are developing an autonomous, low-cost service robot designed to interact with their users in domestic contexts. Our trials show the necessity to move out into actual user homes, as only there can we encounter issues such as misinterpretation of actions during unscripted human-robot interaction.

Abstract:

O presente ensaio tem por finalidade caracterizar o modo de vida dos hobbits no legendário de Tolkien. Para tanto, tomamos como referência as obras O Hobbit (2002-a) e O Senhor dos Anéis (2002-b) como corpus de pesquisa, e as analisamos na perspectiva da estética marxista, em especial, da teoria do Reflexo, discutidos por Lukács (2010). Procuramos relacionar alguns aspectos da sociedade dos hobbits com a sociedade europeia medieval da Alta Idade Média, figurada por Ginzburg (2010) em O queijo e os Vermes.

Abstract:

Wie stellen Zuschauer_innen von Fantasy-Filmen Bezüge zu ihrem Alltag her und in welcher Weise dienen diese ihnen auch zur Orientierung? Ausgehend von theoretischen Überlegungen zur Rolle von populärkulturellen Angeboten im Alltag der Nutzer_innen geht der Beitrag dieser Frage am Beispiel der „Hobbit“-Trilogie im Rahmen des World Hobbit Project nach. Auf Basis einer Teilauswertung der Antworten von österreichischen und deutschen Befragten auf offene Fragen wurden die Daten mit Blick auf die persönliche Relevanz der Filme für ihre Rezipient_innen mittels einer qualitativen Analyse untersucht. Dabei ließen sich zahlreiche Alltagsbezüge zu den „Hobbit“-Filmen identifizieren; die Nutzer_innen ziehen sie auch als Orientierungsvorlagen und Vorbilder heran, wie sich etwa am Beispiel der Flüchtlingsbewegungen im Jahr 2015 deutlich zeigte.

Abstract:

In The Lord of the Rings (1954), there is an attempt to unite the two worlds which captivated Tolkien’s imagination: the fairy tale world of children’s stories which he was drawn to as a child, and the sagas and medieval myths that were the subject of his study and teaching at university. The hobbits are where these two narrative universes meet. In The Lord of the Rings, these two worlds, being difficult to reconcile, collide. On the one hand, we have the hobbits, those everymen with whom the reader can identify easily. They are characters created in The Hobbit (1937) that have a narrative world of their own, as in fairytales, and that are generated with a low mimetic mode. On the other hand, we have the chivalric heroes with a great literary tradition, who belong to the high mimetic mode. Tolkien’s fiction is less successful in those episodes in which the hobbits are absent.

Abstract:

Nonvesicular transfer of lipids at membrane contact sites (MCS) has recently emerged as a critical process for cellular function. Lipid transfer proteins (LTPs) mediate this unique transport mechanism, and although several LTPs are known, the cellular complement of these proteins continues to expand. Our recent work has revealed the highly conserved but poorly characterized Hobbit/Hob proteins as novel, putative LTPs at endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane (ER-PM) contact sites. Using both S. cerevisiae and D. melanogaster model systems, we demonstrated that the Hob proteins localize to ER-PM contact sites via an N-terminal ER membrane anchor and conserved C-terminal sequences. These conserved C-terminal sequences bind to phosphoinositides (PIPs), and the distribution of PIPs is disrupted in hobbit mutant cells. Recently released structural models of the Hob proteins exhibit remarkable similarity to other bona fide LTPs, like VPS13A and ATG2, that function at MCS. Hobbit is required for viability in Drosophila, suggesting that the Hob proteins are essential genes that may mediate lipid transfer at MCS.

Abstract:

As a fairy tale, The Hobbit lacks nothing. Bilbo, while not exactly a stepchild, is a "Took-Baggins" and not a "Sackville-Baggins," ergo he is not quite respectable. The greedy behaviour of the Sackville-Bagginses at the conclusion of The Hobbit also supports their identity as wicked step-siblings. Bilbo's mother, "the fabulous Belladonna Took," is only a name in the background, like the lost, beloved mother of a fairy tale orphan. One day, this ordinary fellow, whose only skills are accuracy in stone-throwing and silence in running and walking, is chosen by a sort of fairy god-father to "go out into the world and seek his fortune."

Abstract:

The present paper argues that the analysis of the functional spectrum of pragmatic markers (PMs) serves as a heuristic tool for studying the interactional dynamics of dialogues in a variety of genres and discourse types, whether naturally-occurring, scripted or literary. By way of arguing my point I will discuss the results of three of my previous case studies aimed at exploring the role of PMs. The case studies, by virtue of the types of discourse they are based on (mediatised political interviews, dramatised/televised conversations and literary texts) reveal different patterns of dialogicity, and complement the analyses of spontaneous everyday conversations, the type of data most of the current PM research draws on. In the course of my analyses I also hope to illustrate that the cross-fertilization between dialogue analysis, PM research and literary pragmatics has a lot to offer to all three disciplines.

Abstract:

The isolation and study of plant resistance genes is revealing a story more complicated than the gene-for-gene hypothesis originally implied. The story of resistance is complicated even further by the discovery of genes that appear to have a negative effect on resistance. Early studies in the wheat line Hobbit ‘sib’ identified a number of chromosomes that reduced the level of field resistance to the fungal pathogen Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici, the causal agent of yellow rust on wheat. From a series of deletion mutants generated in Hobbit ‘sib’ a number of mutant lines were selected that gave enhanced resistance to yellow rust. The phenotypic, genetic and molecular characterisation of some of these mutants is presented.

Abstract:

Background. The origin, popularity and importance of high fiction in English literature are directly linked to Tolkien's work. Tolkien’s novels were the reasons for the critical rise of English fiction to some extent. His “Hobbit” achieved great success at that time and it was the most popular work among readers. When L. Baum created examples of the fantasy genre, detailed historical events, settings and landscapes were considered as the part of the such genre. On the contrary, Tolkien, refined and elevated these concepts. Tolkien set out to associate the roots of his ideas, which embodied location and time, in the field of fiction. Methods. In this article there have been drawn some views related to the analysis of stylistic devices in the novel of “Hobbit”.

Abstract:

A abordagem cultural da Geografia, ao privilegiar a mediação do conhecimento por meio de dados culturais e o Humanismo, elegeu a experiência, a subjetividade e os sentimentos humanos como elementos dos estudos geográficos; não resumindo-os a meros inventários de coisas sobre o espaço. Assim, a Literatura ganhou mais destaque nas análises geográficas. Partindo disso, objetivou-se analisar, a luz da abordagem cultural da Geografia, como a categoria lugar está inserida em “O hobbit” de J.R.R. Tolkien, uma obra pertencente ao gênero da Literatura Fantástica. Para tanto, fez-se uso de levantamentos bibliográficos com um arcabouço teórico que compõe as discussões a respeito das interrelações entre a abordagem cultural da Geografia e a Literatura bem como sobre o lugar. Conclui-se que a literatura tolkieniana elucida uma ideia de lugar como espaço permeado e imbuído pelo sentimento, sendo este gerado através de experiência; tendo na figura da toca hobbit o lugar por excelência.

Tolkiena, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem postaci karzełków/krasnoludów (określanych w języku angielskim tym samym słowem dwarf) oraz bohaterów obu utworów, Lena i Bilbo, w przestrzeni, odpowiednio, powojennego Londynu i Śródziemia. Dokładne zbadanie tematycznej i strukturalnej roli karzełków/ krasnoludów ujawnia intrygujące echa powieści Tolkiena w książce Pintera. Z tej perspektywy The Dwarfs okazuje się powieścią, w której Pinter w charakterystyczny dla siebie sposób przekształcił wątki mitologiczne i folklorystyczne w stopniu niespotykanym ani w jego wcześniejszych, ani późniejszych pisarskich dokonaniach.

Abstract:

This article examines the extent to which prefigurative ‘horizons of expectations’ shaped audience engagements with Peter Jackson’s 2012 film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey ( AUJ). Whereas previous research often focuses on examining prefigurative materials, discussions and debates themselves, this article draws on audience surveys conducted before and after the film’s release to illustrate the impact of prior hopes and expectations on post-viewing responses. While Hobbit pre-viewers were often deeply familiar with various prefigurative materials and intertextual resources, AUJ nonetheless retained the capacity to delight, confound, impress and distress viewers in ways that superseded pre-existing structures of meaning. Thus, while our findings illustrate that processes of reception potentially begin prior to and continue beyond initial moments of viewing, they also affirm the need to engage – theoretically and empirically – with the complex specificity and fluidity of actual reception experiences.

Abstract:

This research entitled “The Dynamic Character as seen in J.R.R Tolkien’s The Hobbit Novel”. about Thorin Oakenshield’s dynamic character, the king who wants to take back his kingdom. This research is limited on basic ideas that relate to the observation into three questions as follow: (1) Why does Thorin also has an important role (2) Why is Thorin not the true leader (3) Why does Thorin change his role from hero to villain. The purposes of the thesis are, (1) To analyze Thorin’s role in the Hobbit novel, (2) To analyze Thorin’s role as a leader who considered not the true leader, (3) To analyze Thorin Oakenshield’s dynamic character as the story progress. This theory using Teeuw and Pradopo about structural analysis and Griffith about dynamic character.As for data analysis method, the writer uses systematic procedures by understanding the novels, the characters, as well as the structural theory. Data collection technique uses documentation technique in finding relevant data to the subject of analysis. The results are: (1) Thorin who has important role in the Hobbit novel, (2) Thorin as the leader of the company but his quality as the leader is so bad, (3) The dynamic character of Thorin when he get back his kingdom.As conclusion, Tolkien shows that the crownless king has desire to get back his kingdom and becomes blind to the presence of the people around him. However, before his death he admits his wrongs to Bilbo. The moral value from this story is the world would be a better place if people cherished friendship and joy over wealth and success.
