831	Green Relationship Imad, Fadel 01 May 2014 (has links) Green Relationship is a design solution attempting to raise awareness toward the environment and reduce consumerism. Waste generation and pollution have become major concerns of many governments, municipalities, organizations and individuals around the world since they are affecting human wellbeing and the environment. As an MFA student with VCUQatar, I chose to use design to contribute in protecting the environment hoping to make a difference in life. The thesis includes a research and a design component. The research explores the recycling programs and facilities in Qatar, the governmental and private sector actions toward waste generation and collection, as well as precedent solutions applied around the world. Furthermore, it includes a survey on recycling to gather and analyze the community’s feed back in order to come up with a solution that aims to change people’s behavior toward waste generation and to promote green lifestyle. The design component defines the Green Relationship as the personal connection between the individual and the silent partner, “the environment.” It fulfills the basic survival needs, “food and water,” and the one and only independency need, “oxygen.” The elements of the Green Relationship are the projection of the generic relationships elements we know of through the theory of “Humimicing” that I introduce in my thesis. Humimicing is the design theory that mimics human innate attributes and behaviors to develop design concepts to be applied in different industries. Every element of the Green Relationship is visualized through a different design discipline similar to its nature. Therefore, interactive, product and critical designs are the mediums used to represent Green Communication, Care and Ethics respectively through public installation, experimentation and conceptual design definition. The thesis methodology, which is “Make it Personal,” concludes in creating the Green Relationship that aims to change the behavior of individuals and ultimately to reach out to the wider community. Under the maxim, “Green is not just a color; it is a Lifestyle,” the thesis promotes the use of design to inspire people, designers and manufacturers to consume less and generate less waste in order to save natural resources and the environment.

832	The Shades of Styles : A human search for words communicating all aspects of styles. Hellerslien, Erlend January 2021 (has links) This research is an investigative attempt on the concept of style´s development to potentially noticing our diverse human history on viewing the aspect of styles, starting (in the part one) by looking into the problem of the development of styles and its characteristic of representation in terms of its messages, realties, semiotics, and human collaboration. Leading towards the human search in seeing style more commonly neutral for a more meaningful dialog. The research shows then (in the part two) the potential to build a Digital Style Dictionary and A Digital Visual Compass: A Human-Centric Guide on The Aspect of Seeing Reality’s that can support identifying aspects of multiple realities (core reality, abstract reality, surreal reality and artificial reality) — where two cases (in the part three) of visual styles get analyzed, discussed, reframed, and presented (Transpace and Swisch). Fundamentally this paper looks to provoke a discussion on what we humans want the point to be in seeing styles. The complexity is as grand as our diversity, but still, this research highlights the hope to respectfully identify the distinctive shades of styles for the sake of a more significant human dialog and inclusion. The research´s grand ambition is knowingly bigger than what it itself can grasp to complete right now (2021) fully. It proposes an idea for the near future to shape a Digital Style Dictionary and a Digital Visual Compass that works for the common human aspect of seeing styles. This research is a first attempt towards shaping the fundamental frame towards a spectrum of the style´s, that we can respectfully continue to articulate for the sake to include better human communication on the aspect of seeing distinctiveness, not that style´s stands in a capital value program between something “high” or “low.” Instead, we can now start to collaborate in shaping and building these potential tools as A Digital Style Dictionary and A Digital Visual Compass in sharing a more human-centric spectrum of styles to push the human evolution of knowledge further.

833	From Snow White to Frozen : An evaluation of popular gender representation indicators applied to Disney’s princess films / Från Snövit till Frost : En utvärdering av populära könsrepresentations-indikatorer tillämpade på Disneys prinsessfilmer Nyh, Johan January 2015 (has links) Simple content analysis methods, such as the Bechdel test and measuring percentage of female talk time or characters, have seen a surge of attention from mainstream media and in social media the last couple of years. Underlying assumptions are generally shared with the gender role socialization model and consequently, an importance is stated, due to a high degree to which impressions from media shape in particular young children’s identification processes. For young girls, the Disney Princesses franchise (with Frozen included) stands out as the number one player commercially as well as in customer awareness. The vertical lineup of Disney princesses spans from the passive and domestic working Snow White in 1937 to independent and super-power wielding princess Elsa in 2013, which makes the line of films an optimal test subject in evaluating above-mentioned simple content analysis methods. As a control, a meta-study has been conducted on previous academic studies on the same range of films. The sampled research, within fields spanning from qualitative content analysis and semiotics to coded content analysis, all come to the same conclusions regarding the general changes over time in representations of female characters. The objective of this thesis is to answer whether or not there is a correlation between these changes and those indicated by the simple content analysis methods, i.e. whether or not the simple popular methods are in general coherence with the more intricate academic methods. / <p>Betyg VG (skala IG-VG)</p> Disney princesses Disney princesses gender Bechdel Bechdel test Walt Disney Pixar Frozen children girl culture gender representations talk time talktime gendertimer equality content analysis female feminism feminist gender role socialization model gender role socialization model passive domestic active media post-feminist gender role portrayals key measures popular nature or nurture genes or environment gender differences expressions of gender gender experiments neurological brain plasticity constructivist cultivation theory social cognitive theory quantitative quantitative measures quantitative methods stereotypes stereotype stereotypical women character count biological sex biological gender metrics femininity textual analysis submissive submissive behaviour independence daddy's girl patriarchy patriarchal patriarchal approval wicked women old wicked women wicked witch male masculine masculine characteristics feminine characteristics genders marrying marriage love at first sight empowerment fairy tale fairy tales film movie films movies Mulan Pocahontas Snow White Snow White and the seven dwarfs Cinderella Sleeping Beauty Little Mermaid The Little Mermaid Beauty and the Beast Aladdin Tangled Brave Frozen The Princess and the Frog Merida relationship relationship formation true love true love's kiss sisterhood sisterly Grimm Grimm brothers parental approval matriarchal approval matriarchal matriarchy stereotyping evil queen rate rater rating measure measuring wicked stepmother binary gender gender binarity binary genders gender identities gender identity gender identity formation identity formation animation cell animation the Smurfette principle strong women strong girls girlie positivism positivistic film studies analysis analyses antagonism action coding cultivation effect cultivation effects socialization effect socialization effects coded content analysis simple metrics cognition theory connotations cultivation theory socialization theory depictions of femininity plasticity human brain damsels in distress feminist research inequality gender inequality media studies heroines mass media social media images of women woman as image reading interpretation modern day fairy tales Disney prinsessor Disneyprinsessor Disney-prinsessor kön genus genusvetenskap Bechdel Bechdel test Bechdeltest Bechdeltestet Walt Disney Pixar Frost barn flickor kulturuppväxt representationer skildringar intryck taltid talk time talktime gendertimer jämlikhet innehållsanalys feminin feminism könsroll könsroller socialisering socialiseringsmodellen passiv hushållsarbete aktiv media post-feministisk postfemininstisk nyckeltal populärvetenskaplig populärvetenskapligt naturen uppväxt eller gener gener eller upppväxt uppfostran genetik könsskillnader könsuttryck experiment hjärnan plasticitet konstruktivism kultivationsteori kognitiv teori kvantitativ kvantitativa mått kvantitativa metoder stereotyper stereotyp stereotypisk kvinnnor kvinna kön biologiskt kön mått nyckeltal femininitet textanalys filmanalys kuvad underkastad submissiv oberoende pappas flicka patriarkat patriarkisk patriarkalt godkännande manlig maskulin kön genus äktenskap kärlek vid första ögonkastet saga sagor bröderna Grimm film Mulan Pocahontas Snövit och de sju dvärgarna Askungen Törnrosa Den lilla Sjöjungfrun Skönheten och Odjuret Aladdin Trassel Modig Frost Prinsessan och Grodan Merida förhållanden sann kärlek Grimm matriark matriarkisk patriarkalt godkännande matriarkalt godkännande bedöma betygsätta mått mäta ond styvmor binära kön könsidentitet könsidentiteter animation Smurfan starka kvinnor starka flickor positivistisk positivism filmvetenskap filmstudier antagonism protagonist hjältinna kodning kultivationseffekten socialiseringseffekten socialisationseffekten kodad innehållsanalys förenklade mått kognitiv teori konnotationer konnotera feministisk forskning könsbalans mediastudier mediestudier massmedia social media bilder av kvinnor kvinnan som bild images of women woman as image reading interpretation modern day fairy tales tolkning
