Pełny tekst źródłaIn the United States, archival institutions have prioritized the preservation of commercial and Hollywood cinema overlooking small-scale media production by non-professionals and independent media artists. Media arts centers, however, have played a pivotal role in the continued access, use, and preservation of materials produced by the communities that they serve. These non-profit media collectives were imagined as a distributed network of organizations supporting the production, exhibition and study of media; serving as information centers about media resources; and supporting regional preservation efforts. However, media arts centers have remained over-looked and unexplored by the archival field. This dissertation seeks to shift this balance, including these artist-run organizations as part of the network of archives and collecting institutions preserving independent media.
Using case study methodologies this study investigated the practices at three media arts centers, Pittsburgh Filmmakers, Paper Tiger Television, and the Termite Television Collective, seeking to understand the role of these organizations in the collection and preservation of independent media and the development of archival practices in non-profit media organizations. The study places each of these organizations in the wider history of media arts center movement in the United States and looks broadly at the development of archives and archival practices within these organizations. Framing media arts centers as maker-spaces and archival spaces, this dissertation argues for a critique of professional archival practices and a redefinition of the standards for preservation of audiovisual materials.

The push by the Obama administration for a more transparent, citizen-centric government has created a new way of thinking among federal, state, and local governments: citizen participation has become a mainstay of newly written policies across the country. The adoption of Web 2.0 technologies, particularly social media, within fusion centers and local law enforcement entities could enable a more expedient exchange of information among fusion centers, law enforcement, and the public. The ability to collect and disseminate information on a real-time basis via fusion centers and law enforcement is key to the overall success of the homeland security mission; it is impossible for the federal government to have sole responsibility for safeguarding the homeland from the confines of Washington, D.C. Because fusion centers and law enforcement agencies are state and local entities, they have the capability to obtain information at a grassroots level and have the advantage of knowing the local environment, including potential targets and vulnerabilities. Social media, if leveraged appropriately, could enhance communication among fusion centers, law enforcement, and private citizens to better detect and deter terrorism. This research explores potential benefits and implementation challenges of integrating social media into fusion center and local law enforcement frameworks.

Garden centers are facing increasing market pressure from big-box retail stores that offer similar products at more competitive prices but lack a quality produce and exceptional service. In order to differentiate themselves from big-box stores, garden centers must build relationships with their customers which can increase marketing reach. Marketing ability and reach is limiting the expansion of Kansas garden centers which spend the majority of their advertising dollars on traditional media. However, social media can be an effective method for not only understanding consumers but also developing profitable relationships with customers. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of stakeholders of metro and non-metro garden centers as they use new media to market their business. Findings indicate garden center stakeholders prefer to use traditional media channels to market to their customers, lack a clear strategy and objectives related to new-media marketing, and are not effectively implementing relationship marketing principles.

Pełny tekst źródłaTrots Sveriges relativt öppna samhälle gällande sex och sexualundervisning så har vi en väldigt hög frekvens av oönskade graviditeter. Ny teknik möjliggör att hålla preventivmedel konsultationer online vilket leder bättre tillgänglighet, men frågan är om det räcker för att sänka frekvensen oönskade graviditeter? Väldigt få studier har gjort på barnmorskorna som jobbar med de unga kvinnorna för att får reda på vad mer som kan göras för att höja kvaliteten på preventivmedelsrådgivningen. Därför har denna studie, i ett tidigt stadie av designprocessen, involverat två barnmorskor praktiserande på en ungdomsmottagning. Cultural Probes användes som metod för att bättre förstå vilka behov barnmorskor upplever i deras dagliga arbete. Det främsta resultatet summeras i tre teman: kunskap, missade besök och förtroende. Dessutom utfördes en serviceutvärdering av hela kundresan för att ta reda på när och hur barnmorskor och unga kvinnor interagerar. Genom att möjliggöra preventivmedelsrådgivning online genom digital vård så skulle tillgängligheten förbättras för de unga kvinnorna och denna hypotes är inget som denna studie motsätter sig. Men tillgänglighet är inte den enda faktorn som påverkar användandet av preventivmedel. Denna studie visar att uppmuntran till att få unga kvinnor att söka kunskap och information om preventivmedel innan själva besöket är en viktig del som skulle kunna förbättra kvaliteten på preventivmedelsrådgivningen

Pełny tekst źródłaAven digitalboxar är spridda i dag för att ansluta en mediakälla till en bildskärm (traditionellt en TV) är marknaden förändras på grund av införandet av Internet Protocol Television, Over-the-Top streaming anordningar, spelkonsol, hem teater Personal Computer, smarta TV osv. Det finns en framväxande begreppet Home Media Center (HMC). Detta HMC ger konsumenterna ett integrerat hem mediemiljö och erfarenhet. Denna avhandling utforskar övergången från digitalboxar till HMC. De specifika frågor som detta examensarbete skall besvara är: Vad kommer en framtida HMC se ut? Hur kommer dess funktioner att bli? Vilka gränssnitt och protokoll kommer den att använda? Vem kommer att göra dessa HMC? Hur kan digitalboxar leverantörer utvecklas vara HMC säljare eller kommer de helt enkelt att upphöra att existera? Detta examensarbete designar och utvärderar en hypotetisk HMC prototyp baserad på nuvarande tekniktrender som användarnas förväntningar studie. Denna prototyp användes med 68 frivilliga att identifiera och prioritera de viktigaste funktionerna som en HMC bör ge. Baserat på de viktigaste av dessa funktioner en konceptuell HMC prototyp kommer att utformas för att definiera en HMC produkt färdplan för en, 3 och 5 år. Färdplanen kommer att användas för att projicera de ekonomiska konsekvenserna av HMC på den aktuella digitalboxar industrin. Denna ekonomiska analysen kommer att överväga Sverige som målgrupp. Denna avhandling kan användas av nuvarande digitalboxar leverantörer för att definiera sina egna företagsspecifika färdplaner för att stödja övergången till den framtida HMC marknaden.

A casualty of the containerization of oceanic commerce, 350 acre Mission Bay in San Francisco, previously a bustling industrial shipping port, has fallen to disuse over the last 20 to 25 years. Within the last five , plans have been finalized to redevelop the area as a new neighborhood, a distinct district such as the Sunset or Nob Hill. With integration and unification stated as their prime directives (at the scale of the block as well as the city), planners have laid out a scheme which includes 7,500 dwelling units and more than four million square feet of office and Research and Development space (relating to the regional high tech/biotech boom), all to be developed within the strict zoning and design gUidelines established by the city. The thesis takes the 'reality' of the site and the 'best intentions' of the planners as a starting point for an exploration of what a Research and Development workplace could be like in this new socially utopic, post-industrial 'future community. ' Rather than blindly accepting a typical scenario where the office is developed as a private, disconnected entity, separated from the neighborhood, 'public' space, and the urbanized landscape of the city, this workplace aggressively pursues such connections by exploiting its adjacent relationships at various scales and through a variety of experiential methods. The program, office space for a growing publishing/media company, has the potential to further these connections by expressing the public nature of its work and work products through its architecture. In addition to these external, contextual concerns, the project demands a clear understanding of the internal organization and flexibility required by a technologically evolving work environment; this investigation is similarly informed by a study of connections, the interior and exterior connections which reinforce the flexibility of spaces in the workplace. In the end, the area defined by the workplace will hopefully become a center for the neighbors, the workers, the community; a place that creates the programmatic and societal overlap that the Mission Bay planners so desperately want to achieve.

In the era of Big Data, online retailers have access to a large amount of data about their customers. This data can include demographic information, shopping carts, transactions and browsing history. In the last decade, online retailers have been leveraging this data to build a personalized shopping experience for their customers with targeted promotions, discounts and personalized item recommendations. More recently, some online retailers started having access to social media data: more accurate demographic and interests information, friends, social interactions, posts and comments on social networks, etc. Social media data allows to understand, not only what customers buy, but also what they like, what they recommend to their friends, and more importantly what is the impact of these recommendations. This work is done in collaboration with an online marketplace in Canada with an embedded social network on its website. We study the impact of incorporating social media data on demand forecasting and we design an optimized and transparent social loyalty program to reward socially active customers and maximize the retailer's revenue. The first chapter of this thesis builds a demand estimation framework in a setting of heterogeneous customers. We want to cluster the customers into categories according to their social characteristics and jointly estimate their future consumption using a distinct logistic demand function for each category. We show that the problem of joint clustering and logistic regression can be formulated as a mixed-integer concave optimization problem that can be solved efficiently even for a large number of customers. We apply our algorithm using the actual online marketplace data and study the impact of clustering and incorporating social features on the performance of the demand forecasting model. In the second chapter of this thesis, we focus on price sensitivity estimation in the context of missing data. We want to incorporate a price component in the demand model built in the previous chapter using recorded transactions. We face the problem of missing data: for the customers who make a purchase we have access to the price they paid, but for customers who visited the website and decided not to make a purchase, we do not observe the price they were offered. The EM (Expectation Maximization) algorithm is a classical approach for estimation with missing data. We propose a non-parametric alternative to the EM algorithm, called NPM (Non-Parametric Maximization). We then show analytically the consistency of our algorithm in two particular settings. With extensive simulations, we show that NPM is a robust and flexible algorithm that converges significantly faster than EM. In the last chapter, we introduce and study a model to incorporate social influence among customers into the demand functions estimated in the previous chapters. We then use this demand model to formulate the retailer' revenue maximization problem. We provide a solution approach using dynamic programming that can deal with general demand functions. We then focus on two special structures of social influence: the nested and VIP models and compare their performance in terms of optimal prices and profit. Finally, we develop qualitative insights on the behavior of optimal price strategies under linear demand and illustrate computationally that these insights still hold for several popular non-linear demand functions.

In our ever changing understandment of city form, the interpretation and realization of space sometimes transcend the notion of time and the physicality of given boundaries. In the city of pastiche, a postindustrial condition has revealed a reading of the city that begins to question our temporal existence ... that we attempt to make a place of discourse, a place to create, contemplate and learn. This thesis proposes that this place be an extension of ourselves, of our city and beyond ... an urban oasis for the freedom of expression. In the advent of the intelligent age the place of pilgrimage becomes the shrine of information. The interface of information and knowledge to the civic arena anticipates a place for equity ... a collective intelligence. It is my intention to explore this dialectic condition in the context of a Center for Inter-Related Media for the city of Boston. The purpose of the Center will be to act as civic informant in the research and discernment of media upon our society. As such the protagonist roles of the artist. the educator, and the correspondent will provide the institution from which such an effort can exist.

Dillon Nature Center has a wide variety of exhibits that teach the public about the natural resources of Kansas. The purpose of my study was to conduct an exploratory study about the effectiveness of two key exhibits in the nature center (Underground Theater and Tornado), as well as evaluate the use of Quick Response Code or QR codes along one of the trails. A visitor survey was used to collect these data over 30 3- hour sampling periods. One hundred and ninety-five visitors were surveyed during the extent of my study. Fifty-four of those who were surveyed went into the Underground Theater exhibit and 47 went into the Tornado exhibit. I concluded that the Underground Theater exhibit was successful in providing useful information to the visitor, whereas the Tornado exhibit provided little useful information to the visitor. Visitors slightly preferred the use of QR codes along the trail even though the actual use was low. This study indicated that the type of exhibit greatly impacts what the visitor takes away from the exhibit. I also showed that it is likely people prefer newer technology to be available at the nature center. These findings provided the management and staff of Dillon Nature Center with information to guide their interpretive-planning efforts.

Pełny tekst źródłaLos medios inmersivos como la realidad virtual o los vídeos de 360° están cada vez más presentes en nuestra sociedad. La realidad virtual ha atraído la atención de la industria y los investigadores. Sus aplicaciones para el entretenimiento y la creación de contenidos audiovisuales son infinitas. Los cineastas están experimentando con diferentes técnicas para crear historias inmersivas. Este tipo de contenido se puede ver a través de unas gafas de realidad virtual, en las que el espectador se sitúa en el centro de la acción, con la libertad de mirar a su alrededor y explorar la escena como desee. Sin embargo, los vídeos de 360° no se pueden considerar totalmente accesibles porque no siempre existen subtítulos disponibles y, por ello, es necesario buscar soluciones. En esta tesis, se ha analizado la presentación de subtítulos en vídeos de 360° desde una perspectiva centrada en el usuario. En particular, se han evaluado diferentes estrategias de subtitulación para contenido de 360°. Los tres objetivos principales de la tesis son: 1) identificar los desafíos y estrategias de subtitulación para contenido inmersivo; 2) identificar las necesidades de los subtituladores profesionales para contenido inmersivo; y 3) evaluar diferentes estrategias de subtitulación (relacionadas con la posición y las direcciones) en contenido inmersivo (en particular, vídeos de 360°) con usuarios de subtítulos (tanto oyentes como con pérdida auditiva), comparando los niveles de presencia y las preferencias de los usuarios. Para cumplir estos objetivos, se realizaron un estudio descriptivo y tres estudios experimentales. El estudio descriptivo incluyó un análisis de corpus que ilustró las prácticas actuales de subtitulación en vídeos de 360° del The New York Times y la BBC. Además, se llevó a cabo un grupo de discusión con usuarios de subtítulos y subtituladores profesionales para recabar información sobre sus expectativas en relación con la subtitulación en este nuevo medio. También se llevaron a cabo dos estudios de recepción principales: el primero se desarrolló con 27 subtituladores profesionales que probaron un editor de subtítulos diseñado específicamente para contenido de 360°, y el segundo estudio se realizó con usuarios de subtítulos (20 oyentes y 20 con pérdida auditiva) que indicaron sus preferencias y nivel de inmersión en relación con los diferentes modos de presentación de subtítulos en vídeos de 360°. Esta tesis ayuda a allanar el camino para futuros estudios sobre subtitulación en entornos inmersivos, aporta información sobre las posibilidades de subtitular contenidos en 360° y proporciona directrices preliminares para crear subtítulos para este tipo de contenidos.
Immersive media such as virtual reality or 360° content is increasingly present in our society. Virtual reality has attracted the attention of industry and researchers. Its applications for entertainment and audiovisual content creation are endless. Filmmakers are experimenting with different techniques to create immersive stories. This type of content is typically accessed via a head-mounted visual display, within which the viewer is located at the center of the action, with the freedom to look around and explore the scene as desired. However, 360° videos cannot yet be classified as accessible because subtitles are not always available, and solutions are required. This dissertation analyzed the presentation of subtitles in 360° videos from a user-centered perspective. In particular, it evaluated different subtitling strategies in 360° content. Three main goals were established in this dissertation: 1) To identify challenges and subtitling strategies for immersive content; 2) To identify professional subtitlers’ needs for immersive content; and 3) To evaluate different subtitling strategies (related to position and directions) in immersive content (360° videos) among subtitle users (both hearing and with hearing loss), comparing levels of presence and user preferences. To fulfill these goals, one descriptive study and three experimental studies were carried out. The descriptive study included a corpus analysis that illustrated the current subtitle practices in 360° videos by The New York Times and the BBC. Moreover, a focus group was carried out with subtitling users and professional subtitlers to gather feedback about their expectations in regard to subtitling in this new medium. Two main reception studies were also carried out: the first study was developed with 27 professional subtitlers who tested a subtitle editor specifically designed for 360° content, and the second study was carried out with subtitling users (20 hearing and 20 with hearing loss) who stated their preferences and level of immersion in regards to different subtitling presentation modes in 360° videos. This dissertation helps pave the way for future studies regarding subtitling in immersive environments, sheds some light on the possibilities of subtitling 360° content, and provides preliminary guidelines to create subtitles for this type of content.

Combining social media posts with known user locations can lead to unique insights with applications ranging from tracking diffusion of sentiment to earthquake detection. One approach used to determine a user's home location is to examine the timing of their posts, but the precision of existing time-based location predictors is limited to discrimination among time zones. In this thesis, we formulate a general time-based geolocation algorithm that has greater precision, using knowledge of a social media user's real world activities derived from his or her membership in a particular class. Our activity-based model discriminates among locations within a time zone, with city-level accuracy. We also develop methods to solve two related inference tasks. The first method detects when a user travels, allowing us to exclude posts when a user is away from his or her home location. Our other method classifies an account as belonging to a particular user group based on the time series of posts and a known user location. Finally, we test the performance of our geolocation model and related methods using Twitter accounts belonging to Muslims. Using Islamic prayer activity to inform our model, we are able to infer the locations of Muslim accounts. We are also able to accurately determine if an account belongs to a Muslim or non-Muslim using their activity patterns and location. Our work challenges the accepted practices used to protect online privacy by demonstrating that timing of user activity can provide specific location or group membership information.

Pełny tekst źródłaPrissättningen för ett företag kan påverkas av flera olika faktorer. Dessa faktorer är antingen
interna eller externa. När ett företag ska prissätta en ny produkt är det svårt att bedöma vilka
faktorer som är väsentliga. Utgångsläget är kostnaderna för produkten och därefter tas hänsyn till
hur de externa faktorerna påverkar prissättningen. Syftet med denna undersökning är att bedöma
hur marknaden, interna beräkningar och valutasvängningar påverkar prissättningen på produkten
Komplett Media Center a20.
För att bedöma hur de olika faktorerna påverkar prissättningen på produkten har vi utfört en
gruppintervju med företaget Komplett Data Sverige AB. Informationen vi tog del av under mötet
med företaget och kopplingarna till teorin visade att Komplett Data Sverige AB tillämpar en form
av bidragskalkylering på produkten. Företaget använder sig av en marginal som blir påverkad av
både interna och externa faktorer. Studien visar att kostnaderna för produkten är den del av
prissättningen som har störst betydelse för Komplett Media Center a20 och att kunder och
konkurrenter påverkar genom marginalen på produkten. Studien visar även att de olika faktorerna
påverkar prissättningen under olika tidpunkter i produktlivscykeln.
