Abstract:

Denna uppsats har som syfte att undersöka samt analysera klipptekniker och kameraarbete genom en jämförelse mellan Eurovision Song Contest år 2000 respektive år 2016. Detta för att visa på hur kamera och klippning påverkar bidrags konstnärliga uttryck samt diskutera en eventuell utveckling. Barry Salts arbete angående kopplingen mellan datainsamling och filmstil appliceras på denna uppsats och ger den dess metodologi. En djupgående analys på utvalda bidrag genomförs utifrån en multimodal infallsvinkel. Detta för att förtydliga förhållandet mellan diskurs och produktion och därigenom ge uppsatsen en beskrivning av klipptekniker och kameraarbetes vikt i bidragens individualitet. Uppsatsens undersökning samt analys visar på en förändring under åren. Speciellt i vilka tekniker som används för att uttrycka bidragens konstnärliga faktorer men det som kvarstår är viljan att anpassa det visuella arbetet efter varje bidrags specifika egenskaper.

For as long as I can remember words and stories have been my safe haven. Whenever the demands of the real world feel overwelming I take my refuge in my imagination. So I decided to base my collection on this world of mine, this haven. The materials and silouettes describe my world, each outfit describing a different charachter.

Abstract:

My family is a collection of characters and big personalities, often with very strange, but brilliant characteristics and interests. When looking for a model that would be consistent with the look and concept I envisioned – witty, comedic, populated with eccentric characters, with carefully and specifically detailed visuals – the films of Wes Anderson, particularly The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Moonrise Kingdom (2012), and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), came to mind immediately. Each of his stories is very deliberately structured with a playful sense of chaotic charm, which is the tone I hope to capture in my storytelling. And, not coincidentally, I noticed that when people talk about my extended family, they refer to us as ‘the real-life Tenenbaums,’ meaning that each person is unapologetically who they are with larger-than-life personalities. Growing up hearing wild tales of life with my grandparents in their New York apartment from my mother and extended family, I was inspired to create my own film version of these stories. In choosing to emulate this director’s style within my film, I intend to capture the light-hearted spirit of my family in a manner that is easily recognizable and which is in keeping with its character.

Abstract:

Welcome to the Branch is a two-act play that investigates issues of cultural differences in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (or LDS church), more commonly known as the Mormon Church. Set in modern-day, downtown Richmond, Welcome to the Branch follows two very different members of the LDS church as they examine and try to understand both their religion, in the context of its cultural and social history, and their place in it. One is Molly, a Caucasian, middle-class young woman from Utah, in Richmond temporarily for her husband's graduate school; the other is Aina, an African American, single mother living in Mosby Court who has recently joined the LDS church. While Aina struggles for survival and looks for meaning in a church where, historically, she would not have felt welcome, Molly slowly comes to terms with the limitations of her own sheltered background.

Abstract:

Casual empiricism suggests that the arrival of a major technology company into an area has the ability to transform the local economy. I examine the economic impact on residential real estate rental prices by the opening of offices by four of the top technology companies—Apple, Facebook, Google, and Microsoft. Rents are about 2.8% lower in metropolitan areas with top technology company presence compared to metropolitan areas without top technology company presence. Taking this economic outcome into account may influence the public and policymakers’ willingness to give tax breaks and other incentives to attract major technology companies.

Krause, Shane Peter. "Not Welcome: Writing Horror in Australia." Queensland University of Technology, 2005. http://eprints.qut.edu.au/16449/.

Full text

Abstract:

"Not Welcome" is a thesis containing an original dark genre screenplay called Acolytes and an exegesis called "Not Welcome": Writing Horror in Australia. The screenplay is about two boys, victims of years of bullying, who find a way to rid themselves of their bully for good, exchanging one problem for something much worse. But it's an elaborate and calculated lie. The truth is Acolytes is about the concealment of a crime and not the vengeance of a victim. Acolytes is intentionally moody, oppressive and obtuse--it has a true crime-scene ambience. The power of the story lies in its truth--the truth that it seeks to uncover and the truth of the style of its telling--and, just as is the case with real-life crime, the "truth" is often murky and far from clear-cut. The accompanying exegesis explores the domestic funding and production climate for dark genre projects. It argues that Australian genre scriptwriters and filmmakers have often faced hostile funding agencies and genre-timid producers. It examines the requirements of dark genre scriptwriters and filmmakers in bringing their work from page to screen. It argues that the onus is on Australian dark genre writers and filmmakers to think beyond funding agencies and institutionalised Australian producers to realise their projects.

Abstract:

Traditional media has a long history of marginalising women and ethnic minorities by trivialising their contributions and obscuring their involvement. Ethnic minorities have been kept out of top roles in films – as evidenced in 2016, with the #Oscarssowhite controversy, when not a single nomination was extended to a person of colour. Women, too, have been objectified and typecast in supporting and “love interest” roles. This marginalisation, whereby male and white are the norm and everyone else is “the other”, extends far beyond movies. YouTube has transformed from its humble beginnings of a video sharing site into one of the main video-based services, capable of extending producers’ voices across national boundaries. With this change, amateur contributors have professionalised their productions. Analysing four top-rated guitar review YouTube videos using critical discourse analysis, this thesis explores the overrepresentation of white men in online spaces for the reviewing of music instruments and looks specifically at subtle ways in which discourse is used to reinforce social exclusions online. Keywords: Gender, Feminism, Ethnicity, Minorities, YouTube, Guitar, Produsers, Music, Canon, Formats, Audiences

Abstract:

This creative nonfiction dissertation is a book of essays that explore the author's life and relationship to Upstate New York. The project also connects this experience to gender and trauma. Though the topics range from local history to cosmetic surgical procedures, the essays are collected by how they illuminate cultural tensions and universal truths. These essays are preceded by a critical preface that examines the differences between essays collections, books of essays, and argues for the recognition of narrative nonfiction as an artistic choice.

Abstract:

Os Contramapas de acolhimento têm como objetivo reconhecer e registrar em comunicação cartográfica as formas de acolhimento encontradas em diferentes espaços da cidade com as suas respectivas conexões e permeabilidades. A metodologia utilizada a criação dos Contramapas é um processo cartográfico subjetivo amparado no pensamento do filósofo Jacques Derrida sobre a prática da hospitalidade para perceber e representar a verdadeira potência de acolhimento dos espaços das cidades e suas arquiteturas. Sem a intenção de estabelecer comprometimento com a exatidão dos mapas e processos cartográficos convencionais, as formas de acolhimento representadas nos Contramapas possibilitaram representar as maneiras de convívio entre diferentes grupos na cidade, apontando a real dimensão das urgentes necessidades de revisão das políticas de hospitalidade entre diferentes. As análises dos Contramapas atrelada à revisão das políticas de hospitalidade iluminam potencialidades até então não percebidas ou não descritas nas arquiteturas e espaços da cidade, que atuam como agentes de hospitalidade, amizade e acolhimento do por vir.
The Hospitality Counter-maps aim to recognize and register, by cartographic communication, welcome forms in different city spaces with their respective connections and permeabilities. The used methodology is a subjective cartographic process supported by the philosopher Jacques Derrida´s thoughts about the practice of hospitality to perceive and represent the true hospitality power of the cities spaces and their architecture. Disregarding the intention of being committed to the conventional mapping and cartographic processes, the hospitality forms represented on the Counter-maps allowed to show the ways of interaction among different individuals and different groups in the city, pointing out the real dimension of the urgent revision needs of the current hospitality policies. The Counter-maps analysis and the resulting review of the hospitality policies enlightened the potentialities hitherto not perceived or described in the architectures and spaces of the city, functioning as agents that empower hospitality, friendship and the still to come.

Cataloged from student-submitted PDF version of thesis. Page 250 blank.
Includes bibliographical references (pages [247]-249).
This thesis studies how nostalgia has been used to construct shared spatial and social expectations through the envelope of the American home. Then, based on the simple proposition to make the home bigger so that it might host a broader collective, it explores how these expectations can be subverted through distortions and exaggerations of the domestic envelope. As these exaggerations reach the limits of symbolic legibility, they begin to suggest alternate internal organizations which have the potential to shape the social relationships and negotiations of a new collective within. The site for this thesis is Lowell, Massachusetts, a once-prosperous textile mill town on the Merrimack River. Lowell is chosen for two of its defining features: its robust preservation campaign, which perpetuates a flattened representation of Lowell's collective identity that is rooted in a 1970s idea of 19th century domestic architecture, and its long history of immigration - today, approximately one quarter of Lowell's population is foreign born. These conditions provide an opportunity to appropriate Lowell's own nostalgia in the design of a new civic building - the Welcome Home - that serves a broader collective of local and newcomer.

Abstract:

An increasing global tourism offers great opportunities for Sweden as a tourist destination. However, an attractive destination requires competitive destination marketing strategies. Tourist destinations often include a complex network of stakeholders of small and large en-terprises that represent both the public and private sector. One condition for successful des-tination marketing is that all of these stakeholders collaborate in their marketing to create an integrated and powerful image. Another important aspect in terms of increasing the des-tinations competitiveness is that the local tourist companies are "export-oriented", in order to ensure that international tourists are looked after appropriately. This study has focused on the destination marketing of Stockholm. The aim of the study was to find out to what extent the local tourist companies collaborate in their marketing, how "export-oriented" their marketing is, and who ultimately controls the tourism development of the destination. The organisation in charge of coordinating the destination marketing of Stockholm is the local government organisation Stockholm Visitors Board (SVB). We interviewed them plus six local tourism companies to study if and how they collaborate in their marketing. The study showed that some of the smaller businesses felt excluded from the marketing activities due to lack of financial resources. SVB also has a product that competes with a product of a pri-vate tourist company. This result has a negative effect on SVB’s reputation as being the offi-cial representative of Stockholm, and leads to a more fragmented destination marketing. For SVB to change this negative image they need to build good relationships with the local tour-ist companies and adjust their pricing policy so that the smaller companies can participate in their marketing activities. The local tourist companies did however participate in other forms of marketing collaborations, which is a first step toward more integrated destination marketing. Some companies were more "export-oriented" than others, which mean that the foreign tourists are subject to varying standards of service. Despite this, the majority displayed an awareness of their role on the destination; that they together with other tourism companies form the "tourist product" that is Stockholm. Nonetheless, more thorough market research is needed to learn more about what foreign tourists want and expect from their visit to Stockholm. In that way Stockholm as a destination can become more competitive interna-tionally. We also interviewed the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket), which is the public authority responsible for the tourism industry, in order to find out who is in charge of the tourism development of the destination. We found that the tourism devel-opment of Stockholm is purely market driven. This can have a negative effect on sustainabil-ity issues. Our proposal for future research is therefore to examine which are the mecha-nisms that drive the development and how one can secure a sustainable tourism develop-ment without centralized control.

Abstract:

In my cross disciplinary practice I research the interconnections between topics of mental illnesses and BDSM. In this text I aimed to describe two research methods, out from something very complex — and to provide an insight, partly expose and display some selected fragments from the process of investigation. Understanding within the power dynamics. Role of a switch and reversed power roles. Drawing a line in between their unholy alliance. I talk about body of control, power, power roles, desire, happiness and care in various forms. Meaning not only a physical body — as it is translated into art works in formats of objects and physical installations — also as a psychical body as a performative tool, and a body as a structural form. I collect lived experiences and emotions to my archive. I build, ask, perform and translate. Consisting layers, questions, states and interconnections. Instead of simplifying the complicated, I aim to clarify it. Leave space for imaginary experience. Singularly cross dressing the intellectual to emotional and vice verse. Cross dressing languages, images, rooms and identities. Cross dressing to a role, a persona — as much as cross dressing out from one. The foundation for my work is build on psychological, mental and emotional states, where humanity, human nature, emotional states and desires play the key roles.

Abstract:

Rochester, NY is the third-largest city in New York State, situated on the southern shore of Lake Ontario, with a population of 210,565. Rochester is also the third largest city?after Buffalo and Syracuse?in terms of refugee resettlement. In 2016, US government resettlement and secondary migration brought 850 new refugees here. In 2017, that number is expected to pass 1,000., When refugees are resettled in the United States, the first three months of casework and assistance are provided by a federally-funded resettlement organization. After these months, however, refugees are removed from the resettlement service?s caseload. In Rochester, it is at this point that a number of critical actors and organizations step in. The author has investigated one group of people who help: sponsors. Sponsors are average citizens who, on their own accord, reach out to refugee services in the area and agree to help one or more refugee families. Sponsors are guides. Currently, sponsors receive no formal training and are recruited by word-of-mouth. The author proposes a design intervention to formalize the recruitment and training of sponsors. The intervention will first raise awareness of refugees living in Rochester in hopes of attracting new sponsors. Second, the intervention will provide information on what needs to be done, how to do it, and where to find resources in Rochester.

Abstract:

Approximately one-third of school-age children have been identified as students with learning disabilities. As a result, teachers are confronted with the challenge of providing quality instruction to students with diverse learning needs. Challenges and benefits abound in the inclusive classroom. Therefore, the study, considered quantitative, non-experimental, and survey research in nature, explored variables that influence teacher perception and participant-perceived satisfaction of inclusion. The cross-national study consisted of 112 participants hailing from public and private schools in Africa, Europe, and the United States. Differentiated instruction, social skills development, pre-service preparedness, and classroom culture represented the most statistically significant correlates in predicting teacher perception of inclusion as superior in meeting the comprehensive educational needs of students with mild to moderate learning disabilities.

Abstract:

Mestrado em Comunicação Multimédia
A proliferação dos dispositivos móveis tem contribuído para a alteração dos hábitos de consumo de informação. Com a disponibilidade da Internet a disseminar-se nestes dispositivos, as instituições dos mais variados tipos procuram aproveitar as potencialidades desta nova forma de chegar ao seu público-alvo. Os estabelecimentos de ensino superior não são exceção e procuram lançar aplicações móveis a pensar nos seus estudantes. Perante isto, a Universidade de Aveiro procura também proporcionar à sua comunidade de estudantes uma solução auxiliando-a, assim, durante o seu percurso académico. Nesse contexto, enquadra-se o processo de desenvolvimento de uma aplicação móvel de apoio aos estudantes, a welcomeUA. O ponto de partida deste trabalho compreendeu um estudo sobre a forma como outras instituições de ensino superior usam este tipo de aplicações. Com base nos resultados obtidos desenvolveu-se uma recolha de dados na forma de inquérito por questionário dirigida à comunidade académica da Universidade de Aveiro. Estes instrumentos permitiram compreender a importância percebida para uma aplicação deste tipo e quais as funcionalidades mais relevantes para a comunidade académica da Universidade de Aveiro. Este projeto de investigação, parte da recolha de dados efetuada e foca-se na implementação da referida aplicação. Como problema de base identificou-se a necessidade de dar resposta a uma diversidade de dispositivos e sistemas operativos. Face a essa necessidade e às limitações temporais e de recursos, estabeleceu-se como desafio desenvolver a aplicação com tecnologias Web, em detrimento de uma solução nativa, procurando demonstrar, por este processo de desenvolvimento, que é possível alcançar uma aplicação que garanta equivalentes níveis de usabilidade e experiência de utilização. Implementada a aplicação, realizou-se a avaliação da mesma, que consistiu na realização de testes com estudantes da Universidade de Aveiro. Estes testes foram feitos em diferentes dispositivos e sistemas operativos procurando uma avaliação num contexto próximo do real. Os resultados obtidos permitiram verificar que os participantes além de satisfeitos com a aplicação, não apontaram diferenças significativas entre esta e outras aplicações nativas que conhecem. Deste modo, demonstra-se, que as soluções de desenvolvimento móveis baseadas em tecnologias Web permitem dar resposta equivalente às soluções para desenvolvimento nativo com as vantagens de redução de custos e de tempo de desenvolvimento. Paralelamente, e considerando que na comunidade académica da Universidade de Aveiro os telemóveis clássicos já se encontram em minoria, tendo sido substituídos por smartphones, os estudantes veem com muito interesse a existência de uma aplicação como a welcomeUA.
The proliferation of mobile devices has contributed to the change in information consumption habits. With the availability of the Internet disseminating on these devices, institutions of all kinds seek to harness the potential of this new way to reach their target audience. The higher education institutions are no exception and try to launch mobile apps thinking in their students. Given this, the University of Aveiro also seeks to provide to its community of students a solution to help them during their academic career. This context, provides a framework to the process of developing a mobile application to support students, the welcomeUA. The starting point for this work included a study on how other higher education institutions use this type of applications. Based on the results a survey addressed to the academic community of the University of Aveiro was developed. These instruments allow to understand the perceived importance of such an application and which are the most relevant features for the academic community of the University of Aveiro. This research project starts on the collected data and focuses on the implementation of the application. As a basic problem it was identified the need to respond to a variety of devices and operating systems. Given this need and considering resources and time constraints a decision on developing the application with Web technologies, rather than a native solution, was made, seeking to demonstrate, through this process of development, that it is possible to achieve an application that ensures equivalent levels of usability and user experience. After the implementation of the application, an evaluation with students of the University of Aveiro was carried. These tests were done on different devices and operating systems seeking an evaluation on a close to a real context. The results gathered showed that participants beyond being satisfied with the application, did not experienced significant differences between this and other native applications they know. Thus, it is demonstrated that the development of mobile solutions based on Web technologies allow solutions which provide equivalent response to native development with the advantages of reduced costs and development time. In parallel, and considering that in the academic community of the University of Aveiro, classic mobile phones are already in a minority, being replaced by smartphones, students see with great interest the availability of an application like welcomeUA.

Abstract:

O Rotting Sun is a pair of long narrative poems that leap, spanning over an epic-length manuscript—175 pages of prose block, lyrical verse, and projective verse. Its chief poetic-operational modes are: inclusion, fragmentation, textual destructions, intentional omissions, intentional misspelling, large narrative leaps; all of which engage a poetics of doubt and multiplicity. O Rotting Sun is a jarring and jangly poem of resistance, intended if possible, for being read aloud and argued with: a provocation of intense meditation, reflection, and when successful, disintegration of anger & agonism—followed by a reintegration of the reader back into a community of change and hope. These poems are an invitation to that hero’s journey which is sometimes painful, sometimes beautiful, sometimes both. I wish to welcome my heroic, wonderful, deep reader into this new world of O Rotting Sun.

Abstract:

In most parts of the country, swimming pools are objects of recreation and entertainment - symbols of luxury, affluence. In Texas, they hold a similar position, but the water is viewed with a great amount of subconscious reverence. Its cooling properties make it more than a toy for "Marco Polo." Even people who cannot or do not want to swim will exert great effort just to dip their hands or wade their bare feet in a cool swimming pool. The act of cooling is relegated to concerns of comfort, survival, and mechanical possibilities. It plays such an important role in the daily life of a Texan, especially in the summer, yet we treat our swimming pools, air conditioners, and ceiling fans just as any other American. Should such a vital aspect of a Texan's daily life be realized so mundanely? So crucial a factor in our lives must be uplifted to some form more poetic than the noisy A/C unit under the kitchen window. In the Hill Country of Central Texas lies the village of Willow City, 1-1/2 hours southwest of the capital, Austin. A sinuous road, known as the Willow City Loop, winds north from the forgettable village through an untouched, untamed, semi-arid wilderness. The area is a stretch of vast expanses of granite and limestone often exposed with little or no topsoil. For a brief period during the springtime, the road becomes a traffic-congested line of families hoping to see flourishes of the in-bloom state flower, the bluebonnet. At all other times, the road is completely deserted. A field of alternating pink, orange, and rust-white stretches for miles with frequent interruptions of various shades of green from mesquite trees, live oaks, cedars, cacti, and lichens. The topography constantly changes. Boulder-sized shards of granite seem to just explode out of escarpments. In other places, horizontal bands of granite cantilever from the tops of hills, displaying the years and time of its formulation. Two hills in particular, the Twin Knobs, comprise a striking composition of great architectural quality. The architecture of the kidney-bean pool and the air-conditioner is inappropriate and inadequate when considering the significance of water in Texas. What is the architecture for the adoration of water in Texas? Where does one immerse oneself in water as a retreat from the sun and an act of tribute to that water? Furthermore, what is the form this architecture? How does such an architecture meld into a dynamic and varied topography? How does geometry generate or dictate such a form? Where do the geometry and formal expressions end and the architecture begin? Or, are they one? What is the nature of a human in such a place? This book presents a retreat whose architectural focal point is a pool nestled in an excavated basin between the Twin Knobs. It is shielded by a great cone that forces the heat of the sun to yield to the repose of the pool and its water.

This qualitative inquiry explores and describes the Refugees Welcome movement in Sweden from 2015 to 2020 by exploring how people became volunteers, their motivation and experience while at the same time describing events, sceneries, and context with the help of their stories. The empirical material consists of 25 interviews with 20 interviewees, the theoretical perspectives come from the fields of volunteering, civil society, and social movements. A thematic analysis is the method used and the results are presented as part 1 Refugees Welcome to Malmö during the refugee crisis in the fall of 2015, and part 2 with the post-2015 Refugees Welcome initiatives separated by the establishment of checkpoints. The volunteers paint a picture of civil society handling an international issue in a globalized world, and what happens when that globalized world closes. The conclusion is that when the states of Europe introduced checkpoints it drastically changed the context of the opportunities to help refugees, cutting off networks of solidarity from the Mediterranean Sea to Malmö Central Station, and when the local authorities took over the responsibility for the refugee reception they cut off civil society and killing the engagement of the volunteers.

Abstract:

In its short but vibrant history Burning Man evolved from spontaneous bohemian solstice celebration into a global intentional community anchored by ephemeral Black Rock Desert burns. Participants practice Ten Principles to embody an ethos that radically challenges mainstream culture through manifested Black Rock City (re)formation, negotiation, and deconstruction. The resulting paradoxical heterotopia originates from modernist garden city philosophy and is centered annually on a symbolic towering effigy, but the playa canvas provides ample room for communal architecture and services. Citizen engagement occurs do-ocratically in an environment without economic and administrative limitations to encourage creative productions that are interactive and gifted for public enjoyment.

Though Burning Man Project and Bureau of Land Management are organizations that maintain key functional planning roles in Black Rock City by mitigating human environmental impact, examination reveals how participant-built environments freely endeavor to mock, reverse, and reconceptualize external society through unique, sometimes conflicting, but peacefully coexisting self-expressions. As fanatical demand for Black Rock City's perceived urban counterculture grows, research findings from longitudinal participant-observation suggests that doxic city life is not only present at Burning Man, it trends along an elite postwar suburban trajectory opposed to many guiding principles, and is specifically at odds with the principle of radical inclusivity.

Abstract:

La globalizzazione ha determinato, negli ultimi trent’anni, l’affermazione progressiva dell’internazionalizzazione economica, rendendo, soprattutto per le imprese manifatturiere, le operazioni sempre più frammentate a livello mondiale. Lo scenario delineatosi e la conseguente necessità di coordinamento hanno così portato alla nascita della Global Value Chain. Negli ultimi anni, però, la crisi economica e la conseguente erosione dei vantaggi di costo offerti dai Paesi emergenti, congiuntamente all’avanzamento tecnologico, hanno consentito la genesi di un nuovo fenomeno: il Reshoring, ovvero, il rientro di attività precedentemente delocalizzate nei Paesi d’origine. Nell’ambito di questa trattazione si analizzerà il fenomeno nella sua interezza, partendo dalle caratteristiche internazionali, giungendo all’analisi del contesto italiano e, infine, ponendo il focus sul contesto emiliano-romagnolo. L’obiettivo dell’elaborato è duplice: comprendere, attraverso tecniche user-centred, quali sono gli incentivi che spingono le imprese a rilocalizzare, nello specifico in Emilia-Romagna, e delineare il profilo ideale di un’ipotetica azienda rientrante, che concili gli interessi di tutti gli stakeholders del territorio.

Abstract:

In this student presentation, the focus is on resilience in cross cultural contexts as experienced by foster and adoptive families. The topic is explored from the point of view of the child primarily, and the parents welcoming that child into their family system secondarily; it is a bidirectional interaction. By reviewing literature on childhood turbulence, blogs written by foster/adoptive parents, and considering personal experiences, several distinct challenges stood out. Resilience is strengthened by mutual support to handle challenges constructively. The entire system can collaborate to facilitate and maintain resilience from a family systems perspective. A children’s book was written to illustrate a family’s transitional process in foster care/adoption. Stemming from unique personal perspectives on cross-cultural fostering/adoption, paralleled with a desire to make this information child friendly, this short story was told from the viewpoint of a young child learning to manage expectations and challenges while gaining a new sibling through adoption.

Abstract:

This study explores the phenomenon of discrimination as it pertains to the experiences of international students studying in Southeast Louisiana. This qualitative study seeks to answer the questions of where and how international students perceive discrimination, and how discrimination affects a student's overall experience as a foreign student in the United States. The intent of this research study is to address the sizable gap in the literature on perceived discrimination towards international students, and introduces specific concepts from critical theory in developing a formal conceptual framework model for continued research in this area. Utilizing the concept of sites of struggle as a conceptual framework, eleven international students studying in Southeast Louisiana were interviewed about their perceptions of discrimination from within three areas of interest: federal regulations, educational arena, and social arena. Their responses are presented using their own words via verbatim transcripts of the interview sessions. A discussion of the respondents' experiences and its significance to their perceptions of discrimination within the three areas of interest follows. Implications for policy, practice, and research, along with suggestions for future research conclude this study.

Full text

Abstract:

Uppsatsen tar avstamp i det faktum att ideologi ofta förmedlas via språket och syftet var att skapa förståelse av hur Sverigedemokraterna argumentativt uttrycker ideologi i flygbladet ”NO MONEY, NO JOBS, NO HOME”. Med hjälp av Žižeks ideologikritik och en klassisk topikanalys presenteras följande: Sverigedemokraternas argumentation kretsar till stor del kring en agonistisk uppdelning som visar på ett förakt mot en viss grupp av människor utifrån en uppdelning av ett ”vi” som utgörs av svenskar och ett ”dem” som utgörs av invandrare – där svenskar är det goda och invandrare det dåliga. Vidare utgår argumentationen utifrån att det finns en tydlig syndabock: ideologins symptom som i flygbladet är invandraren. Detta symptom är anledningen till den negativa verklighetsbeskrivning vi får ta del av i flygbladet. Deras argumentation är till viss del implicit vilket kan förstås bero på att partiet inte vill uppfattas som oetiska och därmed förlora förtroende hos sina väljare.

Abstract:

Det finns inom forskningen en traditionell uppfattning om hemmet som en plats för vila, fritid och reproduktion, avskild från ekonomisk aktivitet. Denna uppsats ifrågasätter den traditionella distinktionen, med hänsyn till delningsekonomin och det växande fenomenet av övernattningstjänster riktade mot bostäder, i detta fall representerat av Airbnb. Studien undersöker förutsättningar och drivkrafter till att hyra ut det som tidigare setts som kärnan i den privata sfären; hemmet. Detta genom att undersöka Airbnb-värdars förhållande till hemmet och det privata. Resultatet visar att hemmet har fått ytterligare en funktion och att gränsen mellan det offentliga och det privata är under omvärdering.

Det här arbetet handlar om hur jag som kvinnlig sångare kan ta mig an rocklåtar som i originalet sjungs av män och ändå behålla sångframförandets karaktär. Detta utan att ta till det förväntade alternativet att byta tonart. Forskningsfrågan handlar om hur jag kan modifiera mitt normala sångsätt för att förmedla samma intensitet, känsla och sound i framförandet som i originalet som är skrivet utifrån en manlig sångröst. Detta för att se om jag kan hitta verktyg inom sång som hjälper att behålla sångens karaktär även fast originalet är skrivet utifrån en manlig sångröst. Jag valde sex låtar inom rockgenren som jag spelade in med ett band tre gånger och mellan gångerna analyserade och jämförde min sång med originalframförandet och spelade in egna inspelningar med hjälp av backing tracks för att hitta ytterligare verktyg. Den sångmässiga progressionen och användandet av olika sångtekniska verktyg presenteras både i form av ljudinspelningar och diverse notbilder. Undersökningen visade att de främsta verktygen för att uppnå detta var mörk klangfärg, effekter, utbyte av toner eller melodier, släppa kontrollbehovet, funktionen overdrive, energi, envishet, att inte glömma hur viktig fraseringen är och att komma ihåg att lyssna vad allt som finns under effekterna. Genom att applicera dessa verktyg kan en kvinnlig sångare uppnå ett resultat som är nära originalsångens karaktär även fast originalsångaren är en man.

Abstract:

Thesis advisor: Edward J. Kane
This paper investigates two issues: how much merger announcements surprise the market and what market responses to the announcement reveal about the motives underlying the proposed deal. Using a simultaneous-equations framework, we model investor anticipations in the first equation and abnormal returns in the second equations. Ouranalysis indicates that investors can successfully predict bidders but not target candidates. Cumulative abnormal returns to bidders whose candidacy was widely anticipated in the market prove significantly larger in magnitude than returns to bidders whose candidacy wasn't anticipated. Bidder abnormal returns differ insignificantly from zero when market expectations are met, whereas bidder returns prove significantly positive when markets are surprised that the firm made a bid. This favorable market response to the surprise in bidder identity suggests that to an important extent managerial merger motives serve shareholder interests

Abstract:

Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and Operation Enduring Freedom are the first long-term wars fought with an all-volunteer army. This has led to fewer available soldiers who are deployed more frequently and for longer periods of time. The impact of these deployments is significant and has been found to increase likelihood for substance abuse, mental health disorders, and concerns in the veteran, or service member’s, social functioning and overall adjustment upon returning to civilian life. There have been significant developments in our understanding of these issues, as well as effective interventions and treatment. However, many veterans still do not seek or receive beneficial treatment due to mental health stigma, as well as other barriers. While many treatment paradigms address the unique needs of the family or the individual veteran, very few resources seek to both objectively inform and provide practical coping strategies for the loved ones of veterans. Research has shown social support is a preventative factor in regards to developing or resolving mental health concerns. Similarly, research has demonstrated that others’ perceptions of mental health symptoms significantly impacts how much support and understanding their loved ones will provide (e.g. personalization of withdrawal symptoms). This manual provides a balance of both information and skills to loved ones in order to increase understanding and awareness regarding the difficulties of the transition to from military to civilian life, for both parties. Additionally, the manual integrates attachment theory concepts throughout the resource to foster self-awareness and consideration of the loved one’s own relationship style and emotional regulation. The intended audience is broad and includes a wide range of important relationships that may be affected. It was broken down into three main sections that build upon eachother: Understand, Reconnect, and Rebuild. This manual was developed through critical literature review of peer-reviewed research and personal accounts. The results of the analysis were applied to issues relevant to the transition process from military to civilian life as identified through research or review of personal accounts of the transition home from war.

Abstract:

Tradicionalmente conhecido como país de respeito aos direitos humanos e de asilo político, nos últimos anos a França recebeu notoriedade pela intolerância e expulsão de imigrantes. Muitas destas situações estão presentes em Welcome (Philippe Lioret, 2009) e provocaram um intenso debate social e político em torno da imigração. A visibilidade midiática de diferentes questões relacionadas ao tema possibilitada pelo filme culminou com o fim do delito de solidariedade lei que punia cidadãos franceses que auxiliassem imigrantes em situação irregular no país. Para compreender as situações apresentadas na película utilizamos os estudos de Zygmunt Bauman (1999, 2005, 2007 e 2009), contextualizando o filme e sua produção. Em seguida, discutimos o processo de construção imagética com base nos conceitos de orientalismo de Edward Said (2007), e eurocentrismo de Ella Shohat e Robert Stam (2006), e as especifidades da França no tocante ao racismo, por meio das obras de Albert Memmi (1993) e Michel Wieviorka (1998). A presença do imigrante em Welcome foi identificada como tendo características polifônicas, de acordo com a perspectiva de polifonia de Mikhail Bakhtin. A partir do estudo de algumas características cinematográficas, fundamentado em Luís Nogueira (2010) e dos conceitos de imagemafecção e rostidade de Gilles Deleuze (1985, 1995) entendemos que o uso de enquadramentos em primeiro plano teve como objetivo produzir uma individualização do imigrante e uma afetividade em relação a ele. Desta forma, acreditamos que Welcome contribui no sentido de ensejar novas possibilidades de ficcionalização do imigrante, bem como de outras minorias.
Traditionally known as a country of respect for human rights and political asylum in recent years France received notoriety by intolerance and expulsion of immigrants. Many of these situations are present in Welcome (Philippe Lioret, 2009) and provoked an intense social and political debate over immigration. The media visibility of different issues about the subject which was possible because of the movie ended with the expiration of the crime of solidarity, a law which punished french citizens who helped undocumented immigrants. To understand the presented situations by the movie, we use the studies of Zygmunt Bauman (1999, 2005, 2007 and 2009), contextualizing the movie and its production. Then, we discuss the imagetical construction process based on the concepts of Orientalism by Edward Said (2007), and Eurocentrism by Ella Shohat and Robert Stam (2006), and Frances specificities about racism, using the work of Albert Memmi (1993) and Michel Wieviorka (1998). The presence of the immigrant in Welcome was identified with polyphonic qualities, according to Mikhail Bakhtins perspective of polyphony. From the study of Luís Nogueiras cinematographic specificities and the concepts of image, affection and visage by Gilles Deleuze (1985, 1995) we understand that the use of close ups aimed to produce an individualization of the immigrant and an affection for him. This way, we believe that Welcome cooperates in the sense of rising new possibilities of the immigrants fiction image, as well as about other minorities.

Abstract:

Syftet med studien har varit att studera onlineforumet incels.net för att undersöka huruvida medlemmarna vid forumet har liknande bakgrund och/eller gemensamma erfarenheter. Detta undersöktes med hjälp av på förhand utvalda variabler baserade på risk- och skyddsfaktorer tagna från riktlinjer inom socialtjänsten. Tidigare forskning har kunnat kartlägga en specifik rådande diskurs bland incels och uttryck av psykisk ohälsa hos gruppen men inte kunnat visa på gemensamma erfarenheter på kvantitativ nivå. Studien använder sig av en kvantitativ dataanalys som metod. Den vetenskapsteoretiska utgångspunkten för studien är kritisk realism, social exkludering och stämplingsteori. I diskussion av resultaten har social exkludering och stämplingsteori använts. Studien utfördes genom granskning av totalt 12 700 inlägg på online-forumet incels.net. I studien ingick granskning av 111 medlemmar på onlineforumet incels.net. Dessa medlemmars inlägg granskades för att sedan föras in i ett statistiskt sammanställt ark för att se vilka variabler som uppfylldes av vardera medlem. Det insamlade materialet undersöktes sedan genom olika typer av statistiska analyser såsom korstabulering med Chi2-test och korstabeller för att kunna urskilja samband. Vid utförandet av de statistiska jämförelserna användes programmet Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Resultatet av studien visade på en förhöjd andel psykisk problematik hos medlemmarna på forumet vilket sedan diskuterades och jämfördes med övrig befolkning. Resultatet visade även på ett samband mellan dåliga familjeförhållanden och psykisk problematik hos medlemmarna på incels.net.

Abstract:

This thesis explores various artistic and ritual practices of martial arts in relation to its presentation on stage. As a martial artist and actor I believe there are complementary practices in both crafts interdisciplinary of each other. For a martial artist, the individual’s performance and execution of martial arts techniques can be enhanced through emotional availability and characterization. For the actor, the martial arts can help condition the body physically, mentally and emotionally to create a grounded presence of connectivity to the earth. However, sometimes the martial arts are viewed as a militaristic discipline and not as artistic expression. I believe that the martial arts can be both discipline and artistry. Over the past three years of my graduate studies I have explored different methods to merge these methodologies. This thesis examines a successful devised show conceived by students and myself at our martial arts studio (dojang), at Martial Arts World of Powhatan, in Powhatan Virginia. This thesis’ examination describes and evaluates the production we titled M.A. Cirque: the Evolution (Martial Arts Circus: an evolution of martial arts). The M.A. Cirque is a theatrical martial arts performance expanded out of a ten minute competition routine to become a thirty minute production performed in Las Vegas, Nevada. Secondly, an exploration for further analysis of a supplemental martial arts demonstration titled Battle at Olympus: A new martial arts super show, describes the revisit of the theatrical process that was developed when devising the M.A. Cirque.
