Chtivelband, Igor. "HistoryLane : Web Browser History Visualization Method." Thesis, Blekinge Tekniska Högskola, Sektionen för datavetenskap och kommunikation, 2012. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:bth-5776.
Full textAbstract:
With the evolution of Internet, users exploit it increasingly intensively for achieving their goals: sending emails, playing games, watching videos, reading news. They do it through Web browsers, that may vary in exact implementation, but have similar core functionalities . One of these core functionalities is the access to a browsing history. However, as browsing patterns are getting more complex, the traditional history tools become insufficient. Visualization of browsing history might be helpful in that case. In this study we propose a novel approach for browsing history visualization, named HistoryLane, which ts the parallel browsing paradigm, common for modern browsers. The main goal of HistoryLane is enabling the user to gain insight into his own or into other users' parallel browsing patterns over time. Principles of HistoryLane visualization approach are formulated based on recommendations, found during structured literature review. These principles constitute the base for a prototype, which was implemented as a Fire- fox extension. To evaluate the e ffectiveness of HistoryLane we conducted a survey and a quantitative experiment. The results of the evaluation show that HistoryLane is perceived by users as effective and intuitive method for browsing history visualization.

Full textAbstract:
This paper was presented as invited plenary keynote address.This article surveys the cultural record in the digital environments and the current efforts to capture this record and circulate it as knowledge, documents, and collections in memory institutions, and provide a basis for the creation of new knowledge. The goals of digital preservation are interpreted in the light of recent arguments about the role of the humanities in providing access to the complete human experience, of the changing idea of the archive representing that experience, and of the roles of memory institutions in supporting the humanities project. Two sets of current preservation activities are identified and surveyed - web archiving (of national web spaces, web spheres) and curated collections of primary sources from the history web. The emerging forms of interpretive and point-of-view history, invented archives, and digital libraries capturing local history, everyday experience and community memory illustrate how digital media can support interpretive and multi-perspective historiography.

Castro, Amanda E. "MENTAL HEALTH MEMORIES: A WEB-BASED ARCHIVE FOR MENTAL HEALTH STORIES." CSUSB ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.lib.csusb.edu/etd/517.
Full textAbstract:
The Mental Health Memories project is an online archive created in order to display and preserve the personal histories of those with mental health experiences. The project aims to fill a void in available material culture related to the history of mental health and its preservation. Participants’ contributions include: oral histories, personal items, documents, and audio. Bringing together multimedia sources, the MHMemories website allows for the preservation of these items and stories through the digitization of contributions. This method allows for participants’ items to stay in their possession while also becoming part of the archive. In order to recruit participants, the Mental Health Memories project teamed up with the Psychiatric Stories Archive, based at California State University San Bernardino, and the San Bernardino County Behavioral Health Clubhouse. Three collection days facilitated the gathering of materials. The final product is the MHMemories.org/.com website which showcases the contributions of participants. The Mental Health Memories project helps to illustrate the diversity of mental health experiences.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse s'insère dans le programme du Centre F. Viète "Histoire comparée des paysages culturels portuaires" et porte sur la compréhension de l’évolution scientifique et technologique des ports de Brest (France), Mar del Plata et Rosario en Argentine à l’époque contemporaine. L’hypothèse de recherche est de considérer un port comme un macro-système technologique complexe dont l’évolution spatiotemporelle en tant qu'artefact s’inscrit dans une histoire des sciences et des techniques. Ces artefacts sont considérés comme indicateurs signifiants de cette évolution. L'objectif de cette thèse est de bâtir une histoire comparée des ports, de proposer et de valider de nouvelles méthodes de travail en humanités numériques. Pour satisfaire à ces objectifs, nous avons produit une histoire comparée des ports considérés. Puis, nous avons développé un modèle d'évolution de ces ports, appelé HST-PORT, à partir du métamodèle SHS, ANY-ARTEFACT. A partir du modèle HST-PORT, nous avons conçu une ontologie de référence, appelée PHO (Port History Ontology). Cette dernière est fondée sur l’ontologie CIDOC-CRM et en reprend donc le modèle évènementiel. Cette ontologie a été évaluée avec succès en reproduisant l’histoire comparée des ports considérés faites par des historiens. A terme, il s'agit de concevoir de nouveaux systèmes d'information fondés sur ces ontologies et le web sémantique pour indexer, publier et d'interroger des sources historiques afin de produire une histoire comparéeThis thesis is part of the F. Viète Centre's "Comparative History of Port Cultural Landscapes" programme and focuses on understanding the scientific and technological evolution of the ports of Brest (France), Mar del Plata and Rosario in Argentina in contemporary times. The research hypothesis is to consider a port as a complex technological macro-system whose spatial and temporal evolution as an artifact is part of the history of science and technology. These artifacts are considered as significant indicators of this evolution.The objective of this thesis is to build a comparative history of ports, to propose and validate new research methods in digital humanities. To meet these objectives, we have produced a comparative history of the considered ports.Then, we have developed a model for the evolution of these ports, called HST-PORT, based on the SHS meta-model ANY-ARTEFACT. Based on the HSTPORT model, we have developed a reference ontology, called PHO (Port History Ontology). The latter is based on the CIDOC-CRM ontology and therefore uses the corresponding event model. This ontology has been successfully evaluated by reproducing the comparative history of the considered ports made by historians. In the long term, it will be necessary to design new information systems based on these ontologies and the semantic web to index, publish and query historical sources to produce a comparative history

Full textAbstract:
It is estimated that there are 35.000 villages in Turkey, and a great number of them have their own unofficial web-sites created as a result of individual efforts. The individuals who prepare these web-sites try to connect with the world via the internet, and represent their past with limited information. Pages on these web-sites that are titled "our history" or "our short history" provide some unique historical, cultural, and anthropological information about the villager's life in rural area. This thesis examines amateur historians' methods of reinterpretation in the past, and as such explore Turkish local history from a new point of view.

Brage, Ellen. "The rise of Brutalism and Antidesign : And their implications on web design history." Thesis, Tekniska Högskolan, Högskolan i Jönköping, JTH, Datateknik och informatik, 2019. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-43473.
Full textAbstract:
The following bachelor thesis is written by a student at New Media Design within Informatics at the School of Engineering, Jönköping University. The background of this study is based on the emergence of web design trends brutalism and antidesign, which have been argued to originate from styles used during early periods of the web’s history. Furthermore, a lack of cultural analysis within web design has been identified. The visual evolution of the world wide web is not sorted into distinct and widely acknowledged periods or categories such as is the case with most other cultural areas like music and art. The emergence and popularity of brutalism and antidesign were identified as potential cases of visual styles returning from the past. They were therefore considered opportunities to examine visual periods in web design and predict where the field is heading in the future. The study was conducted using the qualitative method of semi-structured interviews. The empirical data was analysed using a thematic analysis and was later compared with theories derived from literature studies. The study found three reasons behind the rise of brutalism and antidesign in web design; the world wide web’s coming of age, reactions towards the mainstream web and the interest in retro trends. The study also aimed to find the possible implications of their emergence on the aesthetic evolution of web design. It was found that brutalism and antidesign are part of a large number of experimental and retro trends that will continue to emerge. Though they are unlikely to directly affect mainstream web design in its current state, they may be seen as design movements. This may be viewed as a step in the direction of visual categories within web design.

Full textAbstract:
Web development is different from traditional software development. Like in all software applications, usability is one of the core components of web applications. Usability engineering and web engineering are rapidly growing fields. Companies can improve their market position by making their products and services more accessible through usability engineering. User testing is often skipped when approaching deadline. This is very much true in case of web application development. Achieving good usability is one of the main concerns of web development. Several methods have been proposed in literature for evaluating web usability. There is not yet an agreement in the software development community about which usability evaluation method is more useful than another. Doing extensive usability evaluation is usually not feasible in case of web development. On the other hand unusable website increases the total cost of ownership. Improved usability is one of the major factors in achieving satisfaction up to a sufficient level. It can be achieved by utilizing appropriate usability evaluation method, but cost-effective usability evaluation tools are still lacking. In this thesis we study usability inspection and usability testing methods. Furthermore, an effort has been made in order to find appropriate usability evaluation method for web applications during product development and in this effort we propose appropriate web usability evaluation method which is based on observation of the common opinion of web industry.There is no standard framework or mechanism of selecting usability evaluation method for software development. In the context of web development projects where time and budget are more limited than traditional software development projects, it becomes even harder to select appropriate usability evaluation method. Certainly it is not feasible for any web development project to utilize multiple usability inspection method and multiple usability testing methods during product development. The good choice can be the combinational method composed of one usability inspection method and one usability testing method. The thesis has contributed by identifying those usability evaluation methods which are common in literature and current web industry

As indagações que orientam este trabalho tiveram início na procura de averiguar como os conteúdos de sites e blogs, elaborados em parceria ou pelos próprios Kel tamacheques, auxiliam-nos a compreender a história contemporânea dessa sociedade. Diante dessa busca, pesquisamos e elaboramos corpus imagético capturado da web indexável, buscando verificar suas contribuições de modo a compreender os alcances desse conteúdo como auxilio profícuo para o estudo da história dos Kel tamacheques. Metodologicamente a pesquisa imagética que aqui apresentamos implica em uma determinada forma de encarar os conteúdos da web, tomando como base somente a produção dos próprios Kel tamacheques, em língua francesa. Destarte, por meio dessa pesquisa, concluímos que é possível não só ter acesso às demandas da história contemporânea dessa sociedade, mas também do entendimento, transição e interconexão do passado e dos tempos atuais. Assim, criamos um website almejando atender a perspectiva da universidade e transversalidade no que se referem à melhoria da sociedade e da humanidade a partir dos temas e conflitos vividos pelas pessoas em seu dia-a-dia, sejam em África ou no Brasil.The inquiries that guide this work began in the search to find out how the content of websites and blogs, elaborated in partnership or by Kel tamacheques themselves, help us to understand the contemporary history of this society. In view of this search, we researched and elaborated an imaged corpus captured from the indexable web, seeking to verify its contributions in order to understand the scope of this content as a useful aid to the study of the history of the Kel tamacheques. Methodologically, the imagery research presented here implies a certain way of looking at the contents of the web, taking as a basis only the production of the Kel tamacheques themselves, in French. Thus, through this research, we conclude that it is possible not only to have access to the demands of the contemporary history of that society, but also to the understanding, transition and interconnection of past and present times. Thus, we created a website aiming to meet the perspective of the university and transversality in what refers to the improvement of society and humanity from the themes and conflicts experienced by people in their daily lives, whether in Africa or in Brazil.

Clark, Urszula. "Making use of words : the tangled web of language, history and the teaching of English." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1996. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/66939/.
Full textAbstract:
This thesis traces the history of the teaching of English within the state system of education in the nineteenth century through the twentieth century and the writing of a national curriculum. More specifically, it traces definitions of language upon which its teaching has been based and the theories that have informed that teaching. This history is located within the wider social context of its formation. It contends that the teaching of English within a national State system of education was made possible by the standardisation of English as the language of the newly formed nation state. Teaching English, therefore, is primarily concerned with teaching language and through the texts it uses with teaching particular versions of society. It is divided into two parts. The first part considers formations of English and definitions of language from the beginning of the nineteenth century to the nineteen eighties. It describes the language theory that informed the teaching of language and their change from a prescriptive to descriptive basis. The second part of the thesis considers in more detail the writing of a national curriculum for English and the theories of language upon which the original curriculum and subsequent revisions drew. It ends by proposing a formation of English informed by contemporary language theory and the subject of stylistics centred upon the writing and study of 'text' as defined by the printed word.

Olejnik, Lukasz. "Measuring the Privacy Risks and Value of Web Tracking." Thesis, Université Grenoble Alpes (ComUE), 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015GRENM002.
Full textAbstract:
Les nouvelles technologies introduisent de nouveaux problèmes et risques. Par exemple, les internautes sont constamment tracés et profilés sur l'Internet. Ce profilage permet aux divers sites de personaliser et ainsi d'améliorer le service qu'ils fournissent à chaque internaute. Cependant ce profilage introduit aussi des problèmes d'intimité et de protection de la vie privée. Il est d'ailleurs reconnu que ces données personnelles sont souvent échangées, voire vendues, et qu'il existe une vraie economie des données personnelles. Cet thèse étudie comment ces données personnelles, et en particulier les historique Web - c'est à dire la liste des sites Internet visités par un internaute-, sont collectées, échangées et vendues. Elle propose une analyse de la vie privée des systèmes de vente aux enchères des publicités ciblés. Elle montre comment les différents acteurs de la publicité en ligne collectent et s'echangent les données personnelles, et étudie les risques pour les Internautes. Elle propose également une analyse économique et montre, notamment, que les données sont bradées pour quelques millièmes de dollarsNew medias introduce new problems and risks. There are important security and privacy considerations related to online interactions. Users browsing the Web leave a constant trail of traces referring to their Web actions. A large number of entities take advantage of this data to constantly improve how the Web services function, often offering rich personalization capabilities -- to achieve this, user data is needed. To obtain user data, Web users are being tracked and profiled. Having user data may help enhancing functionality and usability, but it also has the potential of introducing complex privacy problems, related to data collection, storing and processing. The incentives to gather user data are of economical nature: user data is monetized. We start with a description of privacy problems and risks, highlighting their roots in technology changes; users must constantly struggle to adapt to changes. The legal frameworks relating to privacy are about to change: Web companies will have to adopt to new realities. First part of this thesis is devoted to measuring the consequences of private data leaks and tracking. We show how Web browsing history convey insight relating to user interests. We study the risks of Web browsing history leaks. We point out that browsing history is to large extent unique; we perform this basing on a dataset of more than 350k partial history fingerprints. The consequence here is that if browsing histories are personally identifiable information (PII), the upcoming European privacy legal frameworks could potentially result in strict guidelines for their collection, storing and processing. The tracking measurement of third-party resources confirms the popular notion that most of the tracking is carried by US-based companies. This creates interesting information asymmetries, which are of great importance, especially if user data could be simply equated to financial and economical benefits. Second part discusses value of privacy. We study the emerging technology of Real-Time Bidding (RTB), online real-time auctions of ad spaces. We highlight that during the auction phase, bidders in RTB obtain user information such as the visited Web site or user location and they pay for serving ads. In other words, user data flows are strictly related to financial flows. User data is thus monetized. We expose an interesting design characteristic of RTB which allows us to monitor a channel with winning bids -- dynamically established fees bidders pay for displaying their ads. We perform a detailed measurement of RTB and study how this price for user information varies according to such aspects like time of day, user location and type of visited Web site. Using data obtained from real users, we also study the effect of user profiles. Users are indeed treated differently, based on their previously visited Web sites (browsing history). We observed variability in prices of RTB ads, based on those traits. The price for user information in RTB is volatile and typically is in the range of $0.0001-$0.001. This study also had a decidedly important transparency part. We introduced a Web browser extension allowing to discover the price that bidders in RTB pay. This demonstrates how the user awareness could be improved. In part three, we continue the transparency trail. We point out that Web browsers allow every Web site (or third-party resources they include) to record the mouse movements of their visitors. We point out that recent advances in mouse movement analysis points to the notion that mouse movements can potentially be used to recognize and track Web users across the Web; mouse movement analysis can also be used to infer users' demographics data such as age. We highlight the existence of mouse movement analytics -- third-party scripts specializing in mouse movement collections. We also suggest that Web browser vendors should consider including permissions for accessing the API enabling these kind of recordings

Full textAbstract:
Ecological communities along gradients of environmental stress are thought to be structured by trade-offs between resisting biotic interactions in physically benign habitats and successfully exploiting physically stressful habitats. However, these trade-offs are likely to be affected by the predictability of abiotic stressors, and variation in the strength of biotic interactions. I investigated community assembly and food web interactions in ponds across an unpredictable gradient of water inundation (pond permanence) in Canterbury, New Zealand. Pond community composition and species richness were strongly influenced by pond permanence. However, species in temporary ponds were a nested subset of generalists that were also found in permanent ponds, rather than a unique assemblage of temporary pond specialists. Subsequent experiments indicated predator impact decreased with pond permanence, partially due to the foraging suppression of predatory invertebrates in permanent ponds by fish. Weak predation in permanent ponds combined with unpredictable drying regimes likely selected for generalist traits, and resulted in community assembly being driven by a gradient of drying stress rather than trade-offs between biotic interactions and drying. Furthermore, predator impact increased over time in temporary ponds. In predictable snow-melt ponds in the Colorado Rocky Mountains, seasonal windows of weak predation were exploited by vulnerable species, leading to increased diversity within habitats. However in unpredictable systems like Canterbury, temporal increases in predation risk that depend on drying history are likely to increase variability in the spatial arrangement of suitable habitats for particular species. This should further favour the evolution of generalist traits and reduce the importance of trade-offs between predation and drying in the assembly of communities. Considering the predictability of disturbance regimes and the spatial and temporal variation in biotic interactions will greatly enhance understanding and management of communities in heterogeneous landscapes.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate a brief, web-based alcohol prevention intervention program as a universal approach to addressing the range of alcohol behaviors present on college campuses. The sample of freshman college students recruited from Spit for Science (Dick et al., 2014) included 153 intervention participants, and 151 control participants matched on demographics and baseline alcohol variables. Hierarchical multiple regression, logistic regression, and moderated multiple regression were used to compare intervention and control participants on post-intervention alcohol variables. Treatment predicted lower alcohol use disorder (AUD) symptoms, particularly among baseline drinkers. For non-drinkers, the intervention was associated with a decreased likelihood of alcohol initiation. Family history moderated the intervention’s effect on drinks per occasion and AUD symptoms, with family history positive individuals responding better to the intervention. Readiness-to-change and concern for one’s drinking were not supported as moderators, suggesting more research is needed to identify mechanisms of change.

Full textAbstract:
Les migrations de femmes et d’hommes depuis le Maghreb vers la France est un processus historique ancien, remontant pour les Algériens à la fin du XIXème siècle et à la première moitié du XXème siècle pour les Marocains et les Tunisiens. Ces individus forment aujourd’hui une composante importante de la population française. Néanmoins, malgré la patrimonialisation de l’immigration, ces mémoires peinent à s’inscrire dans le récit collectif national. Dans ce contexte, la démocratisation de l’internet grâce à l’essor du web à la fin des années 1990, constitue un nouveau terrain d’expression pour des mémoires perçues comme délaissées. Média et moyen de communication, le web apparaît ainsi comme une nouvelle source pour l’étude des médiations mémorielles et des usages du passé. L’étude de ces dispositifs mémoriels implique une analyse des acteurs et de leurs stratégies de valorisation de la mémoire en ligne, mais aussi dans le champ social. Ce travail entend donc proposer une première histoire des mémoires de l’immigration maghrébine sur le web français à partir des archives du dépôt légal du web gérées par la Bibliothèque Nationale de France (BNF) et l’Institut National de l’Audiovisuel (INA). Il montre la complexité du processus de reconfiguration de la mise en visibilité des mémoires de l’immigration maghrébine. L’internet apparaît comme un nouveau support proposant des modes scénographiques inédits. Vecteur et reflet de l’amplification mémorielle, le web participe à la présentification de l’histoire en articulant le passé avec les logiques commémorativesThis thesis focuses on how the web is used as a privilege space to study how North African immigration memories. This is the first history PhD in France that primarily relies on French Web archives as a source. This one has not yet been integrated in the French collective memory in spite of recent institutional attempts to draw people’s attention back to this issue. This exclusion was and still is linked with many causes: the socio-economic situation of North African minorities in France, the taboo of the Algerian war as well as the unequal treatment by the media of the Maghreb population. Since the end of the 1990’s, in a context of competing memories, many websites have been recalling the immigration memories and have been asking for recognition from the French state. From a media history perspective, how can these memories be presented on the Internet? Moreover, how can the past be used to rectify and transform the present? In France, a historical approach to analyzing the web and its contents has started to develop: publishing strategies, temporalities, uses, internet history. This work would not have been possible without the existence in France, since 2006, of the Web legal deposit, which is shared by INA (Institut National de l’Audiovisuel) and the BNF (Bibliothèque Nationale de France). Thereby, along with traditional broadcast material, Web content can be considered for media history. The epistemological and methodological approaches remain to be devised. The composition and the scenario of some selected memory devices online are studying thanks to the French web archive from 1999 to 2014

HistoryM.A.
This paper examines the way that history and the archive interact with an examination of the civil rights movement in Philadelphia in the 1960s. Lack of accessibility may detrimentally affect historians' analyses. This paper is an assessment of what both writers and archivists can do to help diminish oversights. Included is an investigation of the short-lived Black Coalition and the way the organization is represented in scholarship. How do the representations differ from the story the primary sources tell? Also examined is the relationship between Cecil B. Moore and Martin Luther King, Jr. What primary sources exist that illuminate their friendship? How has their friendship been portrayed in secondary works? The paper outlines the discovery of video footage of the two men and how this footage complicates widely-held perceptions of their association. Lastly, this thesis offers remedies to allow for greater accessibility of primary source documents, most notably the role of digitization within the archive. Included in these suggestions are analyses of existing digital initiatives and suggestions for future projects. Digitization initiatives may be the means by which to bridge the gap currently facing archivists and historians today.

Full textAbstract:
akKOORd, a community choir in the relatively small southern region of the Overberg, was formed in 2006, and although the choir has only a brief history, its spirit, activities, and concerts have inspired and touched many people. This qualitative study pays attention to aspects of the choir’s history, its performance practice and of the “web” of community members connected to and involved in its activities. Through interviews and personal notes this in-depth study provides a “micronarrative” of this choir within the “web” of the Overberg community itself. It aims to not only interpret this narrative with regard to the meaning behind actions and their symbolic importance in society, but also to explore its relevance in the broader context of current South African cultural discourse. During this research it became evident that policy makers and potential funders regard this predominantly white choir with its Western repertoire as a form of undesirable exclusivity and elitism. This study opposes such a point of view, contending instead that elitism in the form of excellence has the power to defy barriers of social standing and ethnicity, and to unite people through a collective sense of ownership.

Reyes, Brenda. "A Grounded Theory of Information Quality in Web Archives." Thesis, University of North Texas, 2018. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc1248497/.
Full textAbstract:
Web archiving is the practice of preserving websites as a historical record. It is a technologically-challenging endeavor that has as its goal the creation of a high-quality archived website that looks and behaves exactly like the original website. Despite the importance of the notion of quality, comprehensive definitions of Information Quality (IQ) in a web archive have yet to be developed. Currently, the field has no single, comprehensive theory that describes what is a high-quality or low-quality archived website. Furthermore, most of the research that has been conducted on web archives has been system-centered and not user-centered, leading to a dearth of information on how humans perceive web archives. This dissertation seeks to remedy this problem by presenting a user-centered grounded theory of IQ for web archives. It answers two research questions: 1) What is the definition of information quality (IQ) for web archives? and 2) How can IQ in a web archive be measured? The theory presented is grounded on data obtained from users of the Internet Archive's Archive-It system, the largest web-archiving subscription service in the United States. Also presented are mathematical definitions for each dimension of IQ, which can then be applied to measure the quality of a web archive.

Full textAbstract:
The use of fatty acid (FA) analysis has become an important tool in recent years to investigate a broad spectrum of questions in fisheries and aquatic ecology. One of these applications has been the use of FA profiles as biomarkers for indicating diet and recent feeding history of fishes and other aquatic consumers. Differences in forage FA profiles and spatial differences in food web structure within aquatic systems may lead to corresponding spatial patterns of FA profiles in consumers, thereby facilitating the potential applicability of FA biomarkers as indicators of habitat use and origin for mobile consumers such as fishes. However, little information is available regarding differences in FA profiles among habitat types in river-floodplain ecosystems and the time-scale over which fish FA profiles change when fish move between habitats that differ in the FA profiles of prey resources. The objectives of this study were to test whether the tissue FA profiles of channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) differed among three reaches of the lower Kaskaskia River and its floodplain lakes, to determine the time-course of tissue FA profile turnover when fish are relocated to a new habitat type, and to compare FA profiles among muscle, liver, and adipose fin tissues in channel catfish. Fatty acid profiles of channel catfish were significantly different among sites, especially between upper and lower river sites, and between river channel and oxbow lake sites, suggesting differing energy sources among habitats and river reaches in the Kaskaskia system. More specifically, there was a significant increase in the essential FAs, 18:2n-6 and 18:3n-3, in channel catfish with increasing distance downstream, which could reflect an increase in river-floodplain connectivity at downstream sites. Channel catfish transplanted from the Kaskaskia River to ponds at Southern Illinois University Carbondale showed a significant linear decrease in n-3 and medium-chain polyunsaturated FAs (MC-PUFA), and a significant linear increase in monounsaturates (MUFA) with longer residence time in a lentic environment. Liver tissue exhibited the fastest turnover rate of the three tissue types (< 2 weeks), with muscle and adipose fin tissue both displaying similar, longer turnover times (approximately 10 weeks). Results of this study support the use of FA profiles as indicators of energy sources for fishes in large river-floodplain ecosystems, including the potential for indentifying habitat-specific (river channel vs. floodplain lake) or river reach-specific energy sources. Additionally, results of this study provide a timeline for FA turnover in channel catfish tissues when fish move among habitats with distinct FA signatures, which is crucial for detecting temporal shifts in use of habitat-specific energy sources by channel catfish. Results also suggest that adipose fin tissue samples may be a less invasive alternative to muscle tissue for analysis of FA profiles in channel catfish. Improved understanding of which habitats or river reaches provide trophic support for riverine fishes through use of FA profile analysis has potentially important implications for habitat conservation and rehabilitation in river-floodplain ecosystem.

Stamper, Amber M. "Witnessing the Web: The Rhetoric of American E-Vangelism and Persuasion Online." UKnowledge, 2013. http://uknowledge.uky.edu/english_etds/3.
Full textAbstract:
From the distribution of religious tracts at Ellis Island and Billy Sunday’s radio messages to televised recordings of the Billy Graham Crusade and Pat Robertson’s 700 Club, American evangelicals have long made a practice of utilizing mass media to spread the Gospel. Most recently, these Christian evangelists have gone online. As a contribution to scholarship in religious rhetoric and media studies, this dissertation offers evangelistic websites as a case study into the ways persuasion is carried out on the Internet. Through an analysis of digital texts—including several evangelical home pages, a chat room, discussion forums, and a virtual church—I investigate how conversion is encouraged via web design and virtual community as well as how the Internet medium impacts the theology and rhetorical strategies of web evangelists. I argue for “persuasive architecture” and “persuasive communities”—web design on the fundamental level of interface layout and tightly-controlled restrictions on discourse and community membership—as key components of this strategy. In addition, I argue that evangelical ideology has been influenced by the web medium and that a “digital reformation” is taking place in the church, one centered on a move away from the Prosperity Gospel of televangelism to a Gospel focused on God as divine problem-solver and salvation as an uncomplicated, individualized, and instantaneously-rewarding experience, mimicking Web 2.0 users’ desire for quick, timely, and effective answers to all queries. This study simultaneously illuminates the structural and fundamental levels of design through which the web persuades as well as how—as rhetoricians from Plato’s King Thamus to Marshall McLuhan have recognized—media inevitably shapes the message and culture of its users.

Noblet, Arnaud. "Les régimes d’historicité du journalisme : héritages et transformations à l’ère d’Internet." Thesis, Lyon 2, 2010. http://www.theses.fr/2010LYO20091.
Full textAbstract:
En l’absence d’une définition consensuelle ou d’une essence évidente, ce à quoi il est fait référence lorsque nous employons le terme « journalisme » fait écho à une figure du passé, à une image antérieure, celle-ci constituant une sorte de jauge, un mètre étalon à partir duquel nous nous positionnons plus ou moins explicitement. Ce mètre étalon pèse fortement sur nos conceptions présentes. D’où la nécessité, pour y voir clair aujourd’hui, de mettre à jour le processus d’élaboration de l’objet « journalisme » à travers le temps, en étudiant le discours historiographique sur ce thème. C’est dans cette perspective qu’a été mobilisée la notion de « régimes d’historicités ». Plusieurs de ces régimes se superposent : de la référence fondatrice de la presse écrite, en passant par l’arrimage du journalisme avec l’idéal de l’instauration de la liberté politique au sein de l’espace public, jusqu’à l’émergence, relativement récente dans l’historiographie, d’un prisme « professionnel » portant notamment une attention particulière aux acteurs de la sphère journalistique. Loin d’être figés ou statiques, ces régimes d’historicité, toile de fond à partir de laquelle nous pensons actuellement le journalisme, sont remis en cause et réinventés par les questionnements liés aux évolutions récentes, principalement l’émergence d’Internet. En bousculant les référents anciens, ces évolutions actuelles déplacent en retour les cadres et les bases historiques qui sous-tendaient jusqu’ici l’analyse du journalisme, un tel glissement offrant un nouveau prisme (et peut-être un nouveau régime d’historicité) à la lecture des pratiques et des identités journalistiques contemporainesIn the absence of an accepted definition or an undeniable essence of what is being described by the term “journalism,” when it is used it seemingly refers to a figure or representation of the past which becomes a gauge against which current studies position themselves more or less explicitly. Such a standard weighs heavily on present-day conceptions of the press, which is why it has become necessary to study the process through which “journalism” has been constructed as an object of research, notably through the examination of historiographic discourse on the subject.It is for this reason that the notion of “cycles of historicity” has been developed. Several of these cycles overlap: references to the founding of the written press; perceptions of the grounding of journalism in the ideal of political liberty extended to the public sphere; relatively recent historiographical interpretations of journalistic “professionalism” which pay special attention to the actors in the field. These cycles of historicity are far from static or immobile; they provide the backdrop for the ways in which journalism is perceived, and which are now being called into question by the appearance of recent evolutions notably brought to light by the Internet. By shaking the foundations of former models, these evolutions are reshaping the framework of the historical analysis of journalism, thus offering new approaches and perspectives to the study of contemporary journalistic practices and identities – perhaps even opening the door to a new cycle of historicity

Full textAbstract:
This master's thesis is a grounded theory study of the development of the Internet as a tool for political action in Japan by groups and individuals producing web pages on the issue of history textbook reform. Through the analysis of 14 in-depth interviews, a framework is developed for understanding the role the Internet has taken in political action in Japan. As activists utilize the Internet in political activism, the Internet appears to be developing into an anchor for continuing political activism. For activists, the Internet is a central point of reference for both mass communication and interpersonal communication activities. The model indicates that the political alignment of an activist is an important factor in determining his or her preference for either interpersonal or mass communication on the Internet. Activists on the left tend to use the Internet as a tool for interpersonal communication and coordination, while activists on the right tend to view the Internet as a tool for mass persuasion. The model of Internet activism developed in the thesis is also compared with models of communication derived from theories of technological determinism and social shaping of technologies. Consistent with technological determinist ideas, the Japanese case demonstrates that as activists rely on the Internet, other media show signs of becoming content for the new medium. However, the Japanese case also shows that pre-existing needs and the political framework of an activist have a strong shaping effect on Internet use, indicating the importance of a social shaping of technologies approach.

The purpose of my research has been to analyze the communi-cation of three cultural heritages and how they are being ex-posed on their respective webpages. The essay has also touched the subject as to how webpages can, through marketing of cul-tural heritages, create a connection to the marketed locations and their cultural environment. A phenomenon you could call “creating a location”. My study has also resulted in an under-standing of how historical sites as cultural actors position them-selves to attract visitors to the location. In this study I will fo-cus on only three of Sweden’s many renaissance castles. These three are Calmare-, Vadstena- and Gripsholm’s castle.My sources consist of the above mentioned cultural heritag-es own webpages, their administrators as well as their partner’s webpages. The information which is communicated in connec-tion to, or directly with the cultural heritages demonstrates what is relevant and important to see and experience.By illuminating these attributes, the possibility for self-interpretation of the cultural landscape can be lessened. Instead, a more direct picture can be created as of what the visitor should relate to and remember of the location. This way, the actors create a location.

Full textAbstract:
The most important programming languages are the ones that manage to capitalize on emerging frontiers in computing. Although JavaScript started its life as a toy language, the explosive growth of the web since 1995 and the invention of the web application have transformed the language’s syntax, potential and importance. JavaScript today is powerful and expressive. But is the language good enough to power the future of the web? How does the messy political past of JavaScript affect web development today, and how will it affect web development in the future?
The paper first examines the political history of JavaScript from its origins at Netscape through today. Then a case study of pure JavaScript web development using the NodeJS and AngularJS is presented and analyzed. Finally, several potential paths forward for the language are considered, including a discussion and analysis of Microsoft’s TypeScript, Mozilla’s ASM.js and Google’s Dart.

Gomez, Norberto Jr. "The Art of Perl: How a Scripting Language (inter)Activated the World Wide Web." VCU Scholars Compass, 2013. http://scholarscompass.vcu.edu/etd/472.
Full textAbstract:
In 1987, computer programmer and linguist Larry Wall authored the general-purpose, high-level, interpreted, dynamic Unix scripting language, Perl. Borrowing features from C and awk, Perl was originally intended as a scripting language for text-processing. However, with the rising popularity of the Internet and the advent of Tim Berners-Lee’s World Wide Web (Web), in the 1990s, Perl soon became the glue-language for the Internet, due in large part to its relationship to the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and the Common Gateway Interface (CGI). Perl was the go-to language for on the fly program writing and coding, gaining accolades from the likes of publisher Tim O’Reilly and hackers alike. Perl became a favorite language of amateur Web users, whom net artist Olia Lialina calls barbarians, or the indigenous. These users authored everything from database scripts to social spaces like chatrooms and bulletin boards. Perl, while largely ignored today, played a fundamental role in facilitating those social spaces and interactions of Web 1.0, or what I refer to as a Perl-net. Thus, Perl informed today’s more ubiquitous digital culture, referred to as Web 2.0, and the social web. This project examines Perl’s origin which is predicated on postmodern theories, such as deconstructionism and multiculturalism. Perl’s formal features are differentiated from those of others, like Java. In order to defend Perl’s status as an inherently cultural online tool, this project also analyzes many instances of cultural artifacts: script programs, chatrooms, code poetry, webpages, and net art. This cultural analysis is guided by the work of contemporary media archaeologists: Lialina and Dragan Espenschied, Erkki Huhtamo and Jussi Parikka. Lastly, the present state of digital culture is analyzed in an effort to re-consider the Perl scripting language as a relevant, critical computer language, capable of aiding in deprogramming the contemporary user.

Pignetti, Daisy. "Writing to (Re)New Orleans: The Post-Hurricane Katrina Blogosphere and Its Ability to Inspire Recovery." Scholar Commons, 2010. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/3437.
Full textAbstract:
Nearly every website or software application these days features a feed to subscribe to, a network to join, or a social timeline to track—all of which do their part to influence public opinion, promote products, and bring people closer together. Being a blogger since 2003 exposed me to these user-generated trends, but never did I expect my blog space, or any others, to play such an important role in my emotional well-being; not until Hurricane Katrina hit. Sharing my story as a transplanted New Orleanian watching the disaster unfold from afar in a public forum quickly linked me to other local voices, and soon I discovered a burgeoning “Big Easy” blogosphere.
This dissertation thus illustrates how online communications have the ability to evolve into cathartic and socially responsible exchanges during and after times of disaster. Relying on qualitative research methods, I first discuss existing kinds of texts (news reports, comments on news sites, print publications, oral histories, etc.) to offer a picture of how Hurricane Katrina appeared and was treated by various traditional media. I then shift focus to digital spaces, featuring profiles of various New Orleans bloggers that I compiled through a series of interviews and analysis of their perpetual posting of blog entries, photos, videos, and status updates. I conclude their writing is a shared social experience with the Internet offering multiple platforms across which they can resist the debilitating effects of trauma and present their audiences with a deeper, truer understanding of what life is like in post-Katrina New Orleans.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines selected speculative novels by Margaret Atwood, Ursula K. Le Guin, Doris Lessing and Marge Piercy. It argues that a specifiable ecological ethic can be traced in their work – an ethic which is explored by them through the tensions between utopian and dystopian discourses. The first part of the thesis begins by theorising the concept of an ecological ethic of respect for the Other through current ecological philosophies, such as those developed by Val Plumwood. Thereafter, it contextualises the novels within the broader field of science fiction, and speculative fiction in particular, arguing that the shift from a critical utopian to a critical dystopian style evinces their changing treatment of this ecological ethic within their work. The remainder of the thesis is divided into two parts, each providing close readings of chosen novels in the light of this argument. Part Two provides a reading of Le Guin’s early Hainish novels, The Left Hand of Darkness, The Word for World is Forest and The Dispossessed, followed by an examination of Piercy’s Woman on the Edge of Time, Lessing’s The Marriages Between Zones Three, Four and Five, and Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. The third, and final, part of the thesis consists of individual chapters analysing the later speculative novels of each author. Piercy’s He, She and It, Le Guin’s The Telling, and Atwood’s Oryx and Crake are all scrutinised, as are Lessing’s two recent ‘Ifrik’ novels. This thesis shows, then, that speculative fiction is able to realise through fiction many of the ideals of ecological thinkers. Furthermore, the increasing dystopianism of these novels reflects the greater urgency with which the problem of Othering needs to be addressed in the light of the present global ecological crisis.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Starting up a business is not an easy task; it requires the translation of an idea into reality and requires discipline and a clear goal setting. Moreover with the increasing need of professionalism for outstanding web development and information technology, the plan of an enterprise with high end development and low cost is generated.
Purpose: This thesis has a dual purpose; firstly it sets the basis of understanding the terms of entrepreneurship and the environment where a business is created; moreover it explains the acquirement of resources and the structure of the business plan. The second objective is to develop a path for creating a web related business. This document will help to establish the goals and objectives for the performance of the company.
Method: The theory presents the relevant information that has to be considered inside the firm. After the theory a business plan was created with the objective of setting the direction of the company over the next years. It is important to mention that business plans are evolving documents that have to be updated according to changes in the environment or changes in the objectives.

Full textAbstract:
A presente dissertação apresenta a ideia do uso de um site pedagógico como ferramenta de apoio para o Museu dos Ex–combatentes da Força Expedicionária Brasileira na Segunda Guerra Mundial, situado em Caxias do Sul - RS. Com objetivo de potencializar o uso pedagógico do museu, bem como colaborar para um aumento da visibilidade da instituição, a página funciona como um mecanismo de complemento e interpretação do museu físico, sem a intenção de substituí-lo. A proposta está dividida em três etapas, sendo a primeira um estudo sobre o contexto no qual o Brasil estava inserido até o início da guerra, aprofundando as ações políticas definidas no governo de Vargas até a entrada do Brasil na guerra. Esta etapa também traz para discussão o contexto no qual se inserem os pracinhas no Sul do Brasil. A segunda etapa trata da problemática da memória e os seus lugares onde estas são mais “intensas”, os chamados “lugares de memória”. A terceira aborda diretamente o Museu da FEB e suas estruturas, tanto organizacionais, quanto expositivas. O percurso do museu é dividido em oito passos, sendo que cada um deles explica os painéis que constituem a cronologia da participação brasileira na guerra. Para a construção do site foram utilizadas as mais diversas fontes que podem ser utilizadas para discutir o tema e esclarecer o papel dos pracinhas no conflito mundial, Entre essas fontes foram usados: filmes, livros, jornais, periódicos, documentos e artefatos que fazem parte da estrutura do museu. A proposta mostra a importância dessas diversas fontes para o ensino de história. O brasileiro desconhece a sua história, por isso possui uma memória frágil que se modifica facilmente e acaba não tendo muitos vínculos com o passado. O estudo mostra a riqueza do museu como lugar de memória e ferramenta para o ensino da história.The present study presents the idea of the use of a pedagogical site as a support tool for the Museum of Ex-combatants of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force in World War II, located in Caxias do Sul - RS. In order to enhance the museum's pedagogical use, as well as collaborate to increase the visibility of the institution, the page functions as a complement mechanism and interpretation of the physical museum, without the intention of replacing it. The proposal is divided in three stages, the first one being a study about the context in which Brazil was inserted until the beginning of the war, deepening the political actions defined in Vargas' government until Brazil entered the war. This stage also brings to discussion the context in which small squares are inserted in the South of Brazil. The second stage deals with the problematic of memory and its places where these are more "intense", the so-called "places of memory". The third directly addresses the FEB Museum and its structures, both organizational and expository. The course of the museum is divided into eight steps, each of which explains the panels that constitute the chronology of Brazilian participation in the war. In order to construct the site, we used the most diverse sources that can be used to discuss the theme and to clarify the role of the squares in the world conflict. Among these sources were used: films, books, newspapers, periodicals, documents and artifacts that are part of the structure of the museum. The proposal shows the importance of these diverse sources for the teaching of history. The Brazilian is unaware of its history, so it has a fragile memory that changes easily and ends up not having many ties with the past. The study shows the richness of the museum as a place of memory and a tool for teaching history.
