Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyze differences in airlines service quality perceptions (service content) and visual communication styles (service form) between passengers from a high-context (HC) culture (Iraq) and from a low-context (LC) one (Germany). The theoretical support is based on Hall’s (1976) theory about cultural influences on consumers’ perceptions and on ethnocentric influences. Design/methodology/approach In this study, the authors compared two groups of passengers from two countries ‒ Iraq (a high-context culture) and Germany (low-context culture) – that gave their opinions about two different airlines (Iraqi Airlines and Lufthansa). In total, 400 personal evaluations were obtained (100 for each company in each country). Findings The results have demonstrated that, first, regarding service quality perceptions, both groups of passengers differ, not due to the cultural context, but due to the ethnocentristic feeling, that is service quality values are higher when the domestic company is evaluated in both countries. Second, regarding visual identity perceptions, the cultural context explains perception differences, because the Germans evaluations are higher for both, the foreign company and the domestic one. Originality/value First, the authors have measured in the same study whether people from an LC culture differ from people from a HC culture with respect to how they perceive both the content of the service (the perception of service quality) and the form of the service (the perception of visual identity). In other words, the authors have compared not just the way a company delivers its services, but also how the company is visually presented. Second, the authors have studied a country that has seldom been analyzed from a marketing perspective, Iraq. Third, the authors have compared not just two cultures, but also two companies (a domestic one and a foreign one), in order to see if consumers tend to have more positive perceptions of a local company, regardless of the culture to which they belong. If this point is demonstrated, then some more implications related to ethnocentrism will be added for a better understanding of how to proceed in the international arena.

Abstract:
Corporate Identity is the identity of a company which consists of visual identity (name, logo, trademark, typography, color, etc.) and verbal identity (slogan, tagline, etc.). Corporate identity is an active effort to build an image within the company. One example of a company that requires a corporate identity as a new image builder and to introduce it to the public is the clothing company CV ADHI BUMI LESTARI. Where this company is a new company engaged in the clothing vendor (sewing, screen printing and computer embroidery). In an effort to increase sales, the company makes advertisements and promotions through various media such as visual and print media. New companies will compete to get attention from customers or target markets, so companies need to make their company different from other companies by creating an image so that the company is easily recognized and remembered by the public. The existence of the corporate identity of the company is considered unable to present the company's vision and mission. The visual form of the company's identity does not reflect the image to be conveyed. Therefore, to deal with these problems and shape the public's visual of the daily use brand, a graphic system that describes the corporate identity is needed through the formation of a new corporate identity. Through research methods and data obtained through observations, interviews and literature.

Abstract:
A personal reflection on how Shira Leuchter’s desire to preserve existent family memories led her to create the live art performance All the Things I’ve Lost, which she performed with her mother, Joyce. All the Things I’ve Lost was commissioned by the Gardiner Museum in Toronto and premiered in August 2016. Through performing the piece, Shira discovered that casting her mother to help her recreate lost childhood objects prompted audience members to share their stories of loss with her during impromptu sessions after each performance. Acknowledging the apparent need for sharing and companioning stories of loss, Shira created the live art performance Lost Together. Lost Together premiered as part of the SummerWorks Festival Lab in 2018. While Shira and co-performer Michaela Washburn recreate and reimagine lost things for audience participants during this intimate performance, Shira recognizes that they can never be successful in resolving loss for their audience participants. Instead, they can hold the weight of the loss with their audience and offer community and connection. Shira contends that collaborating with audiences and leading with tenderness is a radical act of performing care in a culture that prizes individualism.

Abstract:
The term corporate identity describes the essence of a company, a set of all the characteristics that make up the company. The company SIA “Nature Line” mentioned in the article, which started its operation as a start-up in the food production industry through the Rēzekne Business Incubator start-up programme, put forward as one of the company’s principal aims to promote the recognition of the company and its products to ensure broad opportunities for product export. One of the objectives for reaching the aim is to create a corporate identity design. A corporate identity design will help the company to start advertising and positioning itself to customers, thus promoting successful company operation. Considering the changing trends, technological opportunities, popularity of the start-up field, and rapid development of visual communication in the modern day, in the article the authors justify the relevance of the chosen topic. The research problem is the lack of understanding on the part of start-ups about the importance of designing a corporate identity for ensuring successful operation of the company as well as insufficient support. The research aim is to explore modern corporate identity development trends in the context of design policy and to analyse expert interviews in order to find out the opinion of experts about the importance of creating a corporate design for ensuring successful operation of a star-up company, about the trends in the graphic design of corporate identity, about the most important elements and their successful positioning. The research results are obtained using the theoretical research methods: the study of scientific and journalistic literature and internet resources, analysis and evaluation, which discover the essence of the problem, as well as expert interviews, which are empirical research methods.

Abstract:
This Bachelor thesis is about the set up of a visual brand identity by a company, confronted to a growing competition due to globalization and proliferation of the offer on the market. Its stake is to explore and analyze the creation process of the visual identity, in order to permit entrepreneurs who wish to create small companies to design it by themselves. Thanks to this work, such firms can obtain a result that allows them differentiating themselves from their competitors and leaving their mark on customers’ mind. The practical application of this process is done through collaboration with a French entrepreneur, Charles Picard, who is about to create his luxury men shoes company. We have created our own model, explaining the key steps of the execution process of the visual identity, to allow the entrepreneurs having an efficient understanding of each component that are part of it. Based on several theories that deal with the different elements composing the visual identity and with the elements to consider before and after its formulation, this generic model aims at helping every company who wants to create its visual identity by its own means. By working on the case of Charles Picard, we wanted to demonstrate the relevance of the theories on which we have founded our model as well as proving its efficiency. About the methodology, this thesis is based on a qualitative approach, more appropriate to deal with our subject. The use of interviews and of the focus group has been chosen, according to the selected approach. The practical application combined with the theories on which we built our own model allow us contributing to the creation of Charles Picard’s company by proposing him a visual identity that fits with the spirit of his future brand and with its values. It also provides help to entrepreneurs in general, in the formulation of the visual identity of their brand.

Abstract:

This thesis, that comes together with an extranet and internet site programmed in ASP.NET 2.0, has been written in the context of our final project on bachelor level in association with the School of Engineering – Jönköping University.

We had the choice to think of a project on our own or to work in association with a company. As the Belgian company Induma came with this idea, we decided to work this project out.

Our project has got the name ‘Company Communication System for Customers and Dealers’. Besides the front-end and back-end internet site, it will also include a system for customers and dealers, extranet site. So the site will get more interactive and there will be more online transactions possible.

We would like to thank the School of Engineering – Jönköping University, KATHO – VHTI and our parents to get the chance to experience studying abroad. We would also like to thank the company Induma for their cooperation and our Belgian and Swedish supervisors K. Deseyne and M. Schoultz for their guidance and help.

Abstract:
Denna uppsats ämnar undersöka hur färg kan användas i reklamfilm för att uttrycka en varumärkesidentitet och stärka filmers bildspråk. I detta syfte så genomfördes en komparativ bildanalys där tre reklamfilmer från företaget Coca-Cola Company jämfördes utifrån hur filmerna använde sig av färg. Studien fann att reklamfilmerna använder sig av färgnyanser för att kommunicera en specifik varumärkesidentitet till konsumenten samt att reklamfilmerna använde sig av sina egna varumärkesfärger i filmen för att öka kännedomen kring företaget. I filmerna så tillämpades även ett flertal tekniker i färgkorrigering, ljussättning och scenografi för att med större säkerhet skapa en tilltalande färgpalett och bibehålla åskådarens uppmärksamhet.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
Quando se visualiza a profusão de signos gráficos de empresas, atualmente expostos no meio social, se manifestam várias indagações, dentre as quais uma é fundamental: o que possibilita a estas imagens gráficas deterem tamanha força, capaz de permitir o seu reconhecimento como representante da empresa a que pertence, ou como sinal de indicação da marca de produtos a que se devota o consumo? O propósito deste trabalho de pesquisa é apresentar o entendimento de como o signo gráfico empresarial atinge essa força, que aqui se entende por eficiência. Tal como efetuamos nossa análise do fenômeno, a eficiência do signo gráfico empresarial não pode ser compreendida a partir das características técnicas de sua configuração, mas pela construção cultural de um campo simbólico de produção - o campo do design. Esse fenômeno somente foi possível porque ocorreram transformações sociais de grande proporção, que aprofundaram sobremaneira a ruptura inicial de instauração da Idade Moderna. Uma delas foi a alteração do modelo de visualidade no século XIX, a qual possibilitou ao campo do design efetivar seus princípios legítimos de produção de imagens gráficas, e assim justificar, na sociedade, o domínio de sua fabricação. Outra alteração consistiu na mudança do modelo de satisfação subjetiva, que forneceu as bases do insaciável consumo moderno. Essa mudança ofereceu oportunidade para que se instituíssem a importância das marcas - imagens projetadas a partir de valores atribuídos aos empreendimentos - e a força de seus signos gráficos. Para a articulação dessas duas alterações com a análise da eficiência do signo gráfico, foram empregados os seguintes autores: Jonathan Crary e Colin Campbell, que contribuíram respectivamente com indicações relevantes das alterações que permitiram aos indivíduos das sociedades modernas, visualizar e consumir de maneira autônoma. Na análise do funcionamento do campo do design, utilizou-se um autor fundamental, Pierre Bourdieu, que explicita, por meio de sua teoria de produção dos campos simbólicos, a maneira pela qual um bem simbólico - por exemplo, uma imagem gráfica - alcança o reconhecimento como legítimo. A partir dessa produção simbólica do campo, é possível compreender que a eficiência do signo gráfico empresarial depende de sua legitimação, levada a efeito de maneira precisa entre os diversos agentes e instituições das instâncias desse campo autônomo do design, em luta constante por legitimidade na hierarquia social.
When one visualizes the profusion of company graphic signs currently displayed in the social area, several questions arise, but nevertheless one is basic: what enables these graphic images to have so much strength which allows them to be recognized as representative of the companies to which they belong or as sign indicative of the trademarks of products whose consumption is desired? The purpose of this research work is to present the understanding of how the company graphic sign attains this strength, which in this work is understood as efficiency. As we perform our analysis of the phenomenon, the efficiency of the company graphic sign cannot be comprehended based on the technical characteristics of its configuration, but rather as the cultural construction of a symbolic field of production – the design field. This phenomenon was possible only because large-scale social transformations took place which greatly deepened the initial breakthrough of the establishment of the Modern Age. One of these was the change in the model for visualizing in the 19th century which enabled the design field to achieve its legitimate principles of graphic image production and thus justify to society the mastery of their production. Another change involved the shift in the model of subjective satisfaction, which furnished the bases for modern insatiable consumption. This change offered the opportunity for instituting the importance of trademarks – images projected based on values attributed to the undertakings – and the strength of their graphic signs. For the articulation of these two changes with the analysis of the graphic sign´s efficiency, the following authors were utilized: Jonathan Crary and Colin Campbell, who contributed respectively with relevant indications of these changes which allowed individuals in modern societies to visualize and consume in an independent way. In the analysis of the design field´s functioning, a fundamental author was utilized: Pierre Bourdieu, who makes explicit, by means of his theory of symbolic field production, the way in which a symbolic asset – for example, a graphic image – achieves recognition as legitimate. Based on this symbolic field production, it is possible to comprehend that the efficiency of the company graphic sign depends on its legitimizing, carried out in a precise way among the various agents and institutions on the levels of this independent field of design, in a constant struggle for legitimacy in the social hierarchy.
Quand on visualise la profusion des signes graphiques des entreprises actuellement exposés dans la société, plusieurs indagations se manifestent, cependant, une nous semble fondamentale: qu’est-ce que possibilite à ces images graphiques d’avoir telle force qui permet que l’on les reconaisse comme représentant de l’entreprise à laquelle elles appartiennent ou même comme indication de la marque des produits de consommation? L’objectif de ce travail est de comprendre comment le signe graphique d’une entreprise gagne cette force, qui dans ce travail on appelera efficacité. Selon la façon dont nous avons effectué notre analyse de ce phénomène, l’efficacité du signe graphique d’une entreprise ne peut pas être comprise à partir des caractéristiques techniques de sa configuration, mais à partir de la construction culturelle d’un champ symbolique de production – le champ du design. Cela a été possible grâce aux grandes transformations sociales qui ont aprofondi la rupture iniciale d’instauration de l’âge moderne. Une de ces transformations fût le changement de modèle de visualité au XIXème siècle qui a possibilité au champ du design d’effectuer ses príncipes légitimes de production des images graphiques et ainsi de justifier dans la société le domaine de sa fabrication. Une autre tranformation fût le changement de modèle de satisfaction subjective qui a donné les bases de la consommation exagérée de la modernité. Ce changement offrit l’opportunité de l’institution et de l’importance des marques – images projetées à partir des valeurs attribuées aux entreprises – et la force de leurs signes graphiques. Pour articuler ces deux changements deux auteurs ont été utilisés: Jonathan Crary et Colin Campbell qui ont fourni des indications relevantes à propos de ces changements qui permirent aux individus des sociétés modernes de visualiser et de consommer de manière autonome. Dans l’analyse du fonctionnement du champ du design, on a utilisé un auteur fondamental, Pierre Bourdieu qui explicite à travers sa théorie du champ de production symbolique, la façon dont un bien symbolique, une image graphique par exemple, obtient la reconnaissance comme légitime. À partir de cette production symbolique du champ, il est possible de comprendre que l’efficacité du signe graphique d’une entreprise dépend de sa propre légitimation parmi plusieurs agents et institutions de ce champ autonome du design, en lutte pour la légitimation dans l’hiérarchie sociale.

Abstract:
The project that is presented in this report is the result of a master thesis for the Industrial Design Engineering programme at Luleå University of Technology. The project was conducted towards and together with the company Leosol during the fall of 2020.  For the past couple of years, Leosol has invested time and money into online advertisement. Their advertisement generates a greater visit flow onto their website; however, it rarely produces any bookings of their services. Leosol wants to increase the number of bookings done through their website. This master thesis is conducted to contribute towards Leosol’s goal regarding the online bookings. Therefore, the focus of this project has been to strengthen Leosol’s brand by exploring options for a new graphic profile and a visual brand language. These brand tools were be implemented in a new website.  To achieve this, an altered version of IDEO’s Human-Centered Design process was implemented. By working close to the user, in this case, Leosol’s clients, the current issues and solutions was clarified. Throughout the process, the graphic profile and the wireframe was developed separately. In the last phase of the project, the two was combined into the final concept.  The project resulted in a repositioning of Leosol’s brand, creating a new, more professional tone. The graphic profile was summarized through a poster, describing the new logotype, colours, fonts, imagery and a short description of how to apply them.  This new graphic profile was applied onto the new wireframe, creating the final website. The layout of the website was developed so that the user can quickly identify Leosol’s identity and mission. By implementing a website that truly represents Leosol, there is a bigger chance that the number of bookings increase.
Projektet som presenteras i den här rapporten är resultatet av ett examensarbete för Civilingenjörslinjen Teknisk Design vid Luleå Tekniska Universitet. Projektet har drivits mot och i samarbete med energiföretaget Leosol under hösten 2020. Leosol har investerat både pengar och tid i annonsering online. Detta har genererat ett större besöksflöde, dock har det inte lett till en ökning av bokningar av deras tjänster. Leosol vill öka antalet bokningar som sker via deras hemsida. Detta examensarbete har utförts för att bidra till detta mål. Projektet har därför kretsat kring att förstärka Leosols varumärke genom att utforska olika alternativ till en ny grafisk profil och ett nytt visuellt varumärke. Dessa nya varumärkesverktyg kommer sedan att implementeras i en helt ny hemsida.  En variant av IDEO’s Human-Centered Designprocess har använts under projektet för att uppnå detta. Genom att arbeta nära och tillsammans med användaren, i detta fall Leosols kunder, har de nuvarande problemen samt olika lösningar förtydligats och identifierats. Under processen har den grafiska profilen och wireframen för hemsidan skapats separat. I sista fasen i projektet kombinerades dessa till det slutgiltiga konceptet. Projektet har resulterat i en ompositionering av Leosols varumärke genom att skapa en mer professionell ton. Den grafiska profilen har sammanfattats i form av en poster. Denna beskriver den nya logotypen, färger, typsnitt, bildspråk samt en kort instruktion som förklarar hur dessa bör appliceras.  Den nya grafiska profilen applicerades sedan på wireframen, för att skapa den slutgiltiga hemsidan. Hemsidans layout är skapad för att användaren ska snabbt kunna identifiera Leosol’s identitet samt deras tjänster. Genom att implementera en hemsida som verkligen representerar Leosol ökar chanserna för att antalet bokningar på deras hemsida stiger.

Full text
Abstract:
The dissertation examines how image-making, a common pastime, was made common. It investigates the ways in which the production and consumption of images in the context of the North American family contributed to the development of a distinctly domestic and privatized visual culture, and the transformation of the home into a site for privatized spectatorship.
Four cultural forms (No. 1 Kodak, Box Brownie, Cine Kodak and Cine Kodak 8) are specified in this development, all pioneered by the Eastman Kodak Company. The dissertation traces Eastman Kodak's direct involvement in the popularization of image practices. It analyzes strategies used by them to make this possible, namely an appeal to the becoming lifestyles of the bourgeois and middle-classes.
The analysis links the popularization of image-making and consuming practices to other popular amusements (i.e. cycling, cinema-going) to work against an artifact-centred analysis. Issues of gender and generation are critically evaluated as concepts used to instill image-making as a popular, family practice. Shifts in modern temporal and spatial experience, as well as mobility are also explored in relation to popular image-making.

Abstract:

Visualization is a lean tool and in order to strive to become a lean company applying the lean philosophy in all these parts of the organization is necessary. A company that does not understand the philosophy and culture behind lean production, even though applying lean tools, is not a lean business and has a long way to production excellence.

 

Implementing and becoming a visual organization means change which includes the organizational culture, collective attitude and beliefs. The difference between success and failure is about the ability to provide knowledge, information and to create prerequisites for participation and engagement at all levels in the organization with a clear and direct leadership.

 

In many companies communication is lacking sufficient and official channels, and the inadequacy in the information systems are usually due to functional thinking and strict boarders at all levels in an organization. New ways of communication are the result of process orientation, demanding new prerequisites for information systems which companies needs to develop and thus become more visual. Knowledge and information needs to become more accessible and objective in order for decision to be taken based on facts not be the result of interpretations of reality. Visualization enables people to see and develop an objective and common reality. It further contributes to the organizations ability for improvement and aligns the employees to fulfill the overall business objectives and strategies.

 

The Company in this case that wants to be anonymous will further be called Company X. Company X objective is to develop a visual communication system to increase the information sharing and flow throughout the organization. However, this is not an easy task and many companies lack sufficient prerequisites to carry out a successful implementation. The research result at Company X has in this study shown weaknesses in core areas as in clear and direct leadership, vision and strategy development and communication as well as a low level of knowledge transformation at all levels in the organization in order to create engagement for the change process which an implemetion of this kind is.

 


Visualisering är ett lean verktyg och i sträva att bli ett lean företag måste lean filosofin tillämpas i alla delar av organisationen, vilket är en nödvändighet. Ett företag som inte förstår filosofin och kulturen bakom lean produktion, trots att man tillämpar lean verktyg, är inte ett lean företag och har en lång väg från optimering av produktion. Förutsättningarna att bli en visuell organisation innebär förändringar som omfattar organisations kultur, kollektiva attityder och föreställningar. Skillnaden mellan framgång och misslyckande handlar om förmågan att ge kunskap, information och att skapa förutsättningar för delaktighet och engagemang på alla nivåer i organisationen, detta genom ett tydligt och direkt ledarskap.

 

Kommunikation på många företag saknar ofta tillräckliga och officiella kanaler och bristen på information beror många gånger på funktionstänkande och strikta gränser, på alla nivåer i organisationen. Nya sätt att kommunicera är resultatet av processorientering vilket krävs för att företag ska kunna skapa förutsättningar för informationssystem och bli mer visuella. Kunskap och information måste bli mer tillgängligt och objektivt för att beslut som är baserade på fakta och inte på tolkningar av verkligheten ska kunna fattas. Visualiseringen möjliggör för människor att se och utveckla en objektiv och gemensam verklighet. Detta bidrar till organisationers möjlighet till förbättringar och möjlighet för de anställda att uppfylla de övergripande affärsmålen och strategierna för organisationen.

 

Det studerade företaget som valt att vara anonymt kommer hädanefter kallas för Företag X. Företag X målsättning är att utveckla ett visuellt kommunikationssystem i syfte att öka utbytet av information och dess flöden . Men detta är inte en lätt uppgift och många företag har inte tillräckliga förutsättningar för att kunna genomföra en framgångsrik implementering. Resultaten från studien på företaget X visar på svagheter inom kärnområden som ett klart och tydligt ledarskap, utvecklandet och kommunikationen av vision och strategier samt en låg nivå rörande kunskapsspridandet på alla nivåer i organisationen för att skapa engagemang för förändrings process som en implementering av detta slag innebär.

Abstract:
Föreliggande arbete har utförts i samarbete med det nystartade företaget Eklundens källa. Syftet med undersökningarna har varit att ta reda på hur en grafisk profil samt en användarvänlig hemsida bör framställas för att spegla företagets vision samt kärnvärden på lämpligast sätt. En semi-strukturerad intervju genomfördes med uppdragsgivaren för att få mer kunskap om företaget. Genom omvärldsanalyser skapades en bättre förståelse för hur konkurrenter profilerar sig, samt hur deras hemsidor är uppbyggda. Genom två olika enkätundersökningar framkom värdefulla åsikter och resultat som låg till grund för framställningen av Eklundens källas nya grafiska utseende. Den grafiska profilen framställdes efter Sless' modell för informationsdesign. Resultatet av arbetet blev ett förslag till en mer användarvänlig hemsida åt företaget samt en ny grafisk profil innehållande riktlinjer för logotyper, färger, typsnitt, grafiska element, korrespondensmaterial och webben. Respondenternas svar visade på att det nya materialet i stor utsträckning förmedlade företagets kärnvärden trygghet och kompetens, samt att det var anpassat till branschen.
This work was conducted in collaboration with the startup company Eklundens källa. The purpose of the studies was to find out how a branding manual and a user-friendly website should be made to reflect the company's vision and core values in the most appropriate manner. A semi-structured interview was conducted with the client to get more knowledge about the company. A visual content analysis was performed to get a better understanding of how competitors are profiled, and how their websites are built. Two separate surveys revealed valuable opinions and results as the basis for the production of Eklundens källas new visual identity. The visual identity was made after Sless’ model measuring information design. The result of this work was a proposal for a more user-friendly website and a new branding manual containing guidelines for logos, colors, fonts, visual identity imagery, correspondence materials and web for the company. The respondents' answers showed that the new material largely conveyed the company's core values of safety and competence, and that it was suited to the industry.

Abstract:
AbstractThe level of industrial performance is a vital issue for any company wishing to develop and acquire more market share. This article presents a novel approach to integrate intelligent visual inspection into “MES” control systems in order to gain performance. The idea is to adapt an intelligent image processing system via in-situ cameras to monitor the production system. The images are thus analyzed in real time via machine learning interpreting the visualized scene and interacting with some features of the MES system, such as maintenance, quality control, security, operations, etc. This novel technological brick, combined with the flexibility of production, contributes to optimizing the system in terms of autonomy and responsiveness to detect anomalies, already encountered, or even new ones. This smart visual inspection system is considered as a Cyber Physical System CPS brick integrated to the manufacturing system which will be considered an edge computing node in the final architecture of the platform. This smart CPS represents the 1st level of calculation and analysis in real time due to embedded intelligence. Cloud computing will be a perspective for us, which will represent the 2nd level of computation, in deferred time, in order to analyze the new anomalies encountered and identify potential solutions to integrate into MES. Ultimately, this approach strengthens the robustness of the control systems and increases the overall performance of industrial production.

Abstract:
AbstractVidéo de Femmes dans le Parc (VFP) (Women’s Videos in the Park) is a summertime open-air screening of independent short videos, held annually since 1991 at Park La Fontaine in Montreal, Canada, by Groupe Intervention Vidéo (GIV), an independent feminist/queer distribution company. In this essay, we explore VFP’s historical use of public space and its reimagination under Covid’s urgent sanitary crisis and chronic social inequities. Within the media ecology of Montreal’s outdoor cinemas, we see GIV’s creative decision to move VFP online during Covid as part of a longer history of alternative media’s unconventional exhibition modes that address social inequalities. As such, we first situate VFP within GIV’s wider mandate of dissemination of video work by women. We then analyze VFP’s “visual architecture” under Covid, stressing the organizers’ original strategies to reproduce a sense of eventness even through online exhibition. We conclude with questions of embodied and affective labor, including audiences’ wellbeing, artist renumeration, and self-care, that the shift online entails for the organizers of VFP.

Abstract:
An industrial design concept can be adapted to manufacture and assembly by striving for visual design properties that are economical and time-efficient to produce according to specifications. One aspect of this is to assess whether the concept will be visually sensitive to distortions in structure, form, colour, gloss and texture. Visual appearance problems are often unrelated to the actual quality or functionality of a product. In the eyes of the customer, they may however serve as intrinsic quality cues, perceptions of quality attributes acquired by observing the product before purchase. Through interviews conducted at an automobile company and a mobile telecom company, factors considered important for the visual quality appearance of their products were identified. These factors are divided into groups, and examples are given. The result is an overview of visual quality appearance aspects, which demonstrates that design for perceived quality can be a trade-off between quality cues as deliberately placed styling features and quality cues stemming from complex assembly variation conditions.

Full text
Abstract:
The occurrence of accidents which resulted in lost work time, since 2007, prompted the Company to invest in a new Educational Program to prevent accidents. The program was divided into several parts. One of these parts was the project on Safety Culture. The Safety Culture project had been implemented since September, 2009, at PETROBRAS TRANSPORTES S.A. – TRANSPETRO, in Guarulhos, Sa˜o Paulo, Brazil. The project had intended to change the employee’s behavior, informing the employees, who are exposed the risks, to know and understand the risks associated with their tasks, delivering a higher perception of the risks and making possible a change of behavior resulting in employees reaching a safe attitude. The Safety Culture project was developed specifically for TRANSPETRO. The project was divided in three parts: Safety Culture Visual, Procedures and Leading with Safety. This paper will discuss the content one part, Safety Culture Visual. The Safety Culture Visual concept has as its main objective to completely change the visual of the Company. In this concept about Safety Culture Visual, the Company wanted to demonstrate its concern with employee’s safety. Although the goal of the project was to change worker’s behavior, it was important first to communicate that having a strong Safety Culture is a main objective of the Company’s culture. The beginning of the paper discusses how the company can change its visual. By changing your visual, the company can demonstrate to workers that they are interested in their safety and their lives. Posting warning signs at the entrance of the company, at the entrance of the offices, streets, work areas, and other settings where employees must go were all small signs that the company had started to focus on the importance of having a safety culture. By installing warning signs everywhere, workers who are exposed to the risks can better know and understand the risks associated with their tasks. This greater awareness of the risks associated with their tasks provide the employee a greater insight to the risks, enabling a behavior change and helping them reach a complete attitude on safety. The methodology that the Company has been using to implement this change in vision is an “Andrago´gico Model”, exploring the experience of the person; with a focus on the day by day work and daily life situations. The project has been applied in the form of weekly leadership meetings, where everybody has the opportunity to suggest ideas as to promote the change. Expecting results and consequence of the Project: • to turn the concept of safety into a real value to the worker; • to preserve the integrity and to give value to the life of the employee; • pursue a lasting and stable changing of behavior, with a culture based on safety; and • to support the management safety system and reduction of accidents. This project has reduced worker’s exposure to risks and has diminished the number of industrial accidents. Accidents with lost time: using a different concept to deal with safety, focusing directly on the behavior of the worker, leading the worker to a shaper perception of the risks and thus enabling a change of behavior towards a safer attitude.

Abstract:
One of the main protective equipment used to prevent falls is the lifeline. However, at the construction site, this equipment is deficient in visual identification, as there is a lack of information on how to use it properly. The purpose of the study is to create a visual device for guidance on the use of lifeline equipment in construction. As for the research method, a literature review was initially performed. In a second moment, a technical visit was made to a company. The last step consisted of data analysis and the proposition of the device model to orient activities that use lifelines following the model proposed by Valente (2017). The results show the development of a visual device in three parts: a description of the activity to be developed, the protection equipment used and information on how to react in case of an accident at work. The study highlights two contributions: the probable reduction in the number of accidents due to the misuse of lifeline equipment and the validation of the method proposed by Valente (2017) for the design of visual devices.One of the main protective equipment used to prevent falls is the lifeline.

Abstract:
Most companies subcontract consultants or companies specialised in Design and Branding. In this context, most of the Visual Identity (re)design projects of the brand/corporate end up being developed externally to the companies.The Design and Branding consultant or company usually plays a role in the stages of request, research, concept, strategy, tactics and, tending to disappear during the operationalization or implementation.A brand Visual Identity project implies the participation of several external specialists who intervene in the implementation of tasks and components that must be integrated. In the same sense, it requires the participation and awareness of the company's employees, so that they are active participants in the effective communication of the brand, always ensuring its consistency over time.The operationalization steps of a brand/corporate Visual Identity are crucial for its success, regarding the adequate implementation in terms of graphic quality and coherence, but also in the perspective of brand management, which requires good brand-business integration and the monitoring and correction of actions that impact on people's understanding and experience with the brand.It is recognized the relevance of diagrams in improving the understanding, the accessibility, and the enjoyment of complex information.In this study, we intend to understand how diagrams allow explaining complex concepts in the Brand Design universe, namely business structures, organizations, or methods, with several levels of importance or sequence, with main cores and right or possible declinations or dependencies. The methodology of the study focuses on case studies of explanatory type and literature review.The results consist in identifying the most relevant and useful characteristics of diagrams in the visualisation of information, particularly to explain concepts and assist in the implementation of a brand/corporate Visual Identity.

Full text
Abstract:
The flange inspection associated with piping on offshore production facilities is a time-consuming activity as the flanges should physically be opened in order to perform close visual inspections. In order to sustain maintenance integrity, a number of inspections are allocated for a subsystem based on factors such as: condition of the medium flowing in the line, risk perception of the pipeline system, and the date of installation. Inspection teams recommend inspections based on the data, experience, and exposure to offshore production facilities, as well as the intuition and intentions of those individuals involved with inspection planning and with carrying out implementation during the preventive maintenance shutdowns. However, there is a tendency for the operating company representatives to raise queries with the contractor company representatives about the number of flanges to be opened during the preventive maintenance shutdown as flange inspection consumes a considerable portion of time and resources. Hence, it is vital to interpret sensibly the importance of recommending close visual inspections for flanges if the maintenance integrity is to be sustained. This study focuses on analyzing the historical data limited to flanges on flowlines over the last fifteen years. The final results provide a snapshot of the present status of the flanges of the production facility.

Full text
Abstract:
Rapid development of modern technology and its increasing complexity make high demands to the quality of training of its users. Among others, an important class is vehicles, both civil and military. In the teaching of associated subjects, the accepted hierarchy of teaching aids includes common visual aids (posters, videos, scale models etc.) on the first stage, followed by simulators ranging in complexity, and finished at real vehicles. It allows achieving some balance between cost and efficiency by partial replacement of more expensive and elaborated aids with the less expensive ones. However, the analysis of teaching experience in the Military Institute of Armored Forces of National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” (Institute) reveals that the balance is still suboptimal, and the present teaching aids are still not enough to allow efficient teaching. This fact raises the problem of extending the range of available teaching aids for vehicle-related subjects, which is the aim of the work. Benefiting from the modern information and visualization technologies, we present a new teaching aid that constitutes a spherical (360° or 3D) photographic panorama and a Virtual Reality (VR) device. The nature of the aid, its potential applications, limitations and benefits in comparison to the common aids are discussed. The proposed aid is shown to be cost-effective and is proved to increase efficiency of training, according to the results of a teaching experiment that was carried out in the Institute. For the implementation, a tight collaboration between the Institute and an IT company “Innovative Distance Learning Systems Limited” was established. A series of panoramas, which are already available, and its planned expansions are presented. The authors conclude that the proposed aid may significantly improve the cost-efficiency balance of teaching a range of technology subjects.

Full text
Abstract:
We used eye tracking to measure visual attention to tobacco products and pro- and anti-tobacco advertisements (pro-ads and anti-ads) during a shopping task in a three-dimensional virtual convenience store. We used eye-tracking hardware to track the percentage of fixations (number of times the eye was essentially stationary; F) and dwell time (time spent looking at an object; DT) for several categories of objects and ads for 30 adult current cigarette smokers. We used Wald F-tests to compare fixations and dwell time across categories, adjusting comparisons of ads by the number of each type of ad. Overall, unadjusted for the number of each object, participants focused significantly greater attention on snacks and drinks and tobacco products than ads (all P<0.005). Adjusting for the number of each type of ad viewed, participants devoted significantly greater visual attention to pro-ads than anti-ads or ads unrelated to tobacco (P<0.001). Visual attention for anti-ads was significantly greater when the ads were placed on the store’s external walls or hung from the ceiling than when placed on the gas pump or floor (P<0.005). In a cluttered convenience store environment, anti-ads at the point of sale have to compete with many other stimuli. Restrictions on tobacco product displays and advertisements at the point of sale could reduce the stimuli that attract smokers’ attention away from anti-ads.

Full text
Abstract:
As part of an inspection, bridge inspectors assign condition ratings to the main components of a bridge’s structural system and identify any defects that they observe. Condition ratings are necessarily somewhat subjective, as they are influenced by the experience of the inspectors. In the current work, procedures were developed for making inferences on the reliability of reinforced concrete girders with defects at both the cross section and the girder level. The Bayesian network (BN) tools constructed in this work use simple structural m echanics to model the capacity of girders. By using expert elicitation, defects observed during inspection are correlated with underlying deterioration mechanisms. By linking these deterioration mechanisms with reductions in mechanical properties, inferences on the reliability of a bridge can be made based on visual observation of defects. With more development, this BN tool can be used to compare conditions of bridges relative to one another and aid in the prioritization of repairs. However, an extensive survey of bridges affected by deterioration mechanisms is needed to confidently establish valid relationships between deterioration severity and mechanical properties.

Abstract:
The body condition (BC) score is recognized in the dairy industry as an essential tool for managing the energy reserves of the dairy cow, which is essential for sustaining optimal and efficient production over several lactations. The current use of BC scoring depends on the accuracy of subjective visual estimates, and this limits its kusefulness as a management aid in the dairy industry. A measuring tool that would frequently provide objective data on the cow's body reserves would be a major contribution to efficient dairy herd management. Ultrasonic sensors have the potential to be developed into an efficient BC measuring device, and the experimental use of such sensors for subcutaneous fat thickness (SDFT) estimates, as an indication for BC in beef cattle, supports this assumption. The purposes of this project were: 1. To compare visual BC scoring and ultrasonic fat thickness with on-line automated body weight (BW) measurements as monitors of nutritional adequacy of dairy cows at various stages of lactation. 2. To determine the effects of variation in digestive fill in early and late lactation on the accuracy of body weight measurements in lactating cows. 3. To modify an existing ultrasonic system and develop a specialized, low-cost sensor for repeatable determination of body condition scores by users with minimal training and skill. 4. To develop a standard for the assignment of body condition scores based on ultrasonic measurements of subdermal fat thickness. The procedure to execute these objectives involved: 1. Frequent measurement of BW, milk yield (MY), BC (visually scored) and subdermal fat thickness ultrasonically measured of dairy cows, and data analysis on average and individual basis. 2. Testing and selection of an appropriate special-purpose sensor, finding an optimum body location for working an ultrasonic measurement, prcessing the signals obtained, and correlating the resulting measurements with performance responses in lactating cows. Linking the ultrasonic signals to BC scores, and developing a BC scoring data acquisition system are the first steps towards fulfilling the necessary requirements for incorporating this device into an existing dairy herd management system, in order to provide the industry with a powerful managment tool. From the results obtained we could conclude that: 1. BC does not correlate with BW changes during all stages of lactation, although in general terms it does. These results were confirmed by individual cow BW and BC data obtained during the course of lactation, that were supported by individual objective ultrasonic measurement of SDFT. 2. BW changes reflect energy metabolism reliably ony after peak milk yield; early in lactation, a decrease in BW expresses mobilization of body reserves only qualitatively, and not quantitatively. 3. Gastrointestinal content increases throughout the whole period during which dry matter intake (DMI) increases. The drastic increase very early in lactation prevents the use of BW changes as a basis for quantitative estimatio of energy meatabolism; at this stage of lactation, konly a BC score or any other direct measurements willl provide a quantitative estimate of energy metabolism. 4. Ultrasonic measurements of subdermal fat thickness can be used to quantify changes that correlate with the actual condition of the cow, as assessed by performance and the traditional way of scoring. 5. To find the best site on the cow's body at which to obtain responses to BC and its changes in the course of lactation, additional sites have to be examined. From the present study, it seems that the sites between ribs 12 and 13 have the potential for this purpose. 6. The use of templates made it easier to repeat measurements at a desired site and spot. However, the convenient easy-to-handle way to standardize the measurement, described in this study, koffers scope for improvement. 7. The RF peak values of the A-mode are better indicators of the location of fat layer borders than image analysis, from the point of view of future commercial development. 8. The distances between the RF peaks of the A-mode can be automatically measured by suitable software, for future commercial development. 9. Proper analysis of daily body weight and milk yield data can provide the necessary information on body condition changes during lactation, until a direct BC measurement device is developed. 10. In any case, at least one visual BC assessment has to be done, preferably immediately after calving, for calibration purposes.

Abstract:
Herbicide selection is key to efficiently managing nuisance vegetation in our nation’s waterways. After selecting the active ingredient, there still remains multiple proprietary and generic products to choose from. Recent small-scale research has been conducted to compare the efficacy of these herbicides against floating and emergent species. Therefore, a series of mesocosm and growth chamber trials were conducted to evaluate subsurface applications of the following herbicides against submersed plants: diquat versus coontail (Ceratophyllum demersum L.), hydrilla (Hydrilla verticillata L.f. Royle), southern naiad (Najas guadalupensis (Sprengel) Magnus), and Eurasian watermilfoil (Myriophyllum spicatum L.); flumioxazin versus coontail, hydrilla, and Eurasian watermilfoil; and triclopyr against Eurasian watermilfoil. All active ingredients were applied at concentrations commonly used to manage these species in public waters. Visually, all herbicides within a particular active ingredient performed similarly with regard to the onset and severity of injury symptoms throughout the trials. All trials, except diquat versus Eurasian watermilfoil, resulted in no differences in efficacy among the 14 proprietary and generic herbicides tested, and all herbicides provided 43%–100% control, regardless of active ingredient and trial. Under mesocosm and growth chamber conditions, the majority of the generic and proprietary herbicides evaluated against submersed plants provided similar control.

Abstract:
The article analyzes a series of materials by Aleksander Janta-Polczynski «Into the USSR» from Soviet Russia during the in 1932, published on «Wiadomości Literackiе». The purpose of this article is explain the uniqueness of the reporter’s style and personality. We want to emphasize the role of Janta-Polczynski as the pioneer of reportage journalism. He was the first who worked professionally in this position in the full sense of this word. Analyzed the cycle of Alexander Janta-Polczynski from Russia, we can emphasize the scale of the reporter’s trip: in 1932 the journalist made the largest journalistic trip to the USSR. Janta visited the Eastern republics, which differed from the popular Moscow and Leningrad. Also, he saw the largest construction in the USSR at this time – which it bragged about russian newspapers – Magnitogorsk and Dneprostroy. For a better understanding are given the visual examples from reportorial texts. It should be noted that for Janta the main task of the reporter is to show what is seen and recorded: only facts and personal experience in communication. This cycle can safely be called a journey and social expedition. The main task for Janta the scene where the reportage takes place is to find proper characters and convince them of the importance of their story. These are the materials of a reporter – an eyewitness, not a researcher, a report from the scene, which pushes the reader to an independent conclusion. We explore that all the Janta-Polczynski texts are inextricably linked by looking into the «middle» of the process: the diversity of what is seen allows the journalist to look for differences and similarities, compare, look at the fundamental components, track changes and distinguish them. Special attention was paid to a low-angle shot in his materials. He describes how Soviet society lives, how factories work, how the system of educating a Soviet person, goes to the movies and exhibitions, communicates with ordinary citizens. Undoubtedly, all this is successfully complemented by the factual detail and uniqueness of the author’s style.

Abstract:
The Annual Report on Migration and Asylum 2016 provides an overview of trends, policy developments and significant debates in the area of asylum and migration during 2016 in Ireland. Some important developments in 2016 included: The International Protection Act 2015 was commenced throughout 2016. The single application procedure under the Act came into operation from 31 December 2016. The International Protection Office (IPO) replaced the Office of the Refugee Applications Commissioner (ORAC) from 31 December 2016. The first instance appeals body, the International Protection Appeals Tribunal (IPAT), replacing the Refugee Appeals Tribunal (RAT), was established on 31 December 2016. An online appointments system for all registrations at the Registration Office in Dublin was introduced. An electronic Employment Permits Online System (EPOS) was introduced. The Irish Short Stay Visa Waiver Programme was extended for a further five years to October 2021. The Second National Action Plan to Prevent and Combat Human Trafficking was published. 2016 was the first full year of implementation of the Irish Refugee Protection Programme (IRPP). A total of 240 persons were relocated to Ireland from Greece under the relocation strand of the programme and 356 persons were resettled to Ireland. Following an Oireachtas motion, the Government agreed to allocate up to 200 places to unaccompanied minors who had been living in the former migrant camp in Calais and who expressed a wish to come to Ireland. This figure is included in the overall total under the IRPP. Ireland and Jordan were appointed as co-facilitators in February 2016 to conduct preparatory negotiations for the UN high level Summit for Refugees and Migrants. The New York Declaration, of September 2016, sets out plans to start negotiations for a global compact for safe, orderly and regular migration and a global compact for refugees to be adopted in 2018. Key figures for 2016: There were approximately 115,000 non-EEA nationals with permission to remain in Ireland in 2016 compared to 114,000 at the end of 2015. Net inward migration for non-EU nationals is estimated to be 15,700. The number of newly arriving immigrants increased year-on-year to 84,600 at April 2017 from 82,300 at end April 2016. Non-EU nationals represented 34.8 per cent of this total at end April 2017. A total of 104,572 visas, both long stay and short stay, were issued in 2016. Approximately 4,127 persons were refused entry to Ireland at the external borders. Of these, 396 were subsequently admitted to pursue a protection application. 428 persons were returned from Ireland as part of forced return measures, with 187 availing of voluntary return, of which 143 were assisted by the International Organization for Migration Assisted Voluntary Return Programme. There were 532 permissions of leave to remain granted under section 3 of the Immigration Act 1999 during 2016. A total of 2,244 applications for refugee status were received in 2016, a drop of 32 per cent from 2015 (3,276). 641 subsidiary protection cases were processed and 431 new applications for subsidiary protection were submitted. 358 applications for family reunification in respect of recognised refugees were received. A total of 95 alleged trafficking victims were identified, compared with 78 in 2015.

Abstract:
Previous FSRI led research projects have focused on examining the fire environment with regards to current building construction methods, synthetic fuel loading, and best-practices in firefighting strategies and tactics. More than 50 experiments have been previously conducted utilizing furniture to produce vent-limited fire conditions, replicating the residential fire environment, and studying the methods of horizontal ventilation, vertical ventilation, and positive pressure attack. Tactical considerations generated from the research are intended to provide fire departments with information to evaluate their standard operating procedures and make improvements, if necessary, to increase the safety and effectiveness of firefighting crews. Unfortunately, there still exists a long standing disconnect between live-fire training and the fireground as evident by continued line of duty injury and death investigations that point directly to a lack of realistic yet safe training, which highlights a continued misunderstanding of fire dynamics within structures. The main objective of the Study of the Fire Service Training Environment: Safety, Fidelity, and Exposure is to evaluate training methods and fuel packages in several different structures commonly used across the fire service to provide and highlight considerations to increase both safety and fidelity. This report is focused on the evaluation of live-fire training in acquired structures. A full scale structure was constructed using a similar floor plan as in the research projects for horizontal ventilation, vertical ventilation, and positive pressure attack to provide a comparison between the modern fire environment and the training ground. The structure was instrumented which allowed for the quantification of fire behavior, the impact of various ventilation tactics, and provided the ability to directly compare these experiments with the previous research. Twelve full scale fire experiments were conducted within the test structure using two common training fuel packages: 1) pallets, and 2) pallets and oriented strand board (OSB). To compare the training fuels to modern furnishings, the experiments conducted were designed to replicate both fire and ventilation location as well as event timing to the previous research. Horizontal ventilation, vertical ventilation, and positive pressure attack methods were tested, examining the proximity of the vent location to the fire (near vs. far). Each ventilation configuration in this series was tested twice with one of the two training fuel loads. The quantification of the differences between modern furnishings and wood-based training fuel loads and the impact of different ventilation tactics is documented through a detailed comparison to the tactical fireground considerations from the previous research studies. The experiments were compared to identify how the type of fuel used in acquired structures impacts the safety and fidelity of live-fire training. The comparisons in this report characterized initial fire growth, the propensity for the fire to become ventilation limited, the fires response to ventilation, and peak thermal exposure to students and instructors. Comparisons examined components of both functional and physical fidelity. Video footage was used to assess the visual cues, a component of the fire environment that is often difficult to replicate in training due to fuel load restrictions. The thermal environment within the structure was compared between fuel packages with regards to the potential tenability for both students and instructors.
