A partir dos objetivos de compreender o fenômeno político da representação e suas formas de desenvolvimento investigou-se a relação entre eleitos e eleitores e seus meandros, com o intuito de saber se a representação acontece ou se vive uma crise, na qual a responsividade de uma parte a outra não ocorre ou não se efetiva. Iniciada com abordagem teórica da representação política, são trazidas as abordagens e aferições dos autores da Política acerca do tema. Feita a apreciação teórica, a representação enquanto fenômeno político é analisada a partir do estudo de três fenômenos que ocorrem em seu bojo: as eleições, o papel dos partidos políticos e a ação dos meios de comunicação de massa. Com a compreensão desses três elementos, suas relações e influências na representação política, buscou-se diagnosticar como o fenômeno se desenvolve e se o mesmo vive um momento de crise ou de redefinição de suas formas de relação. No momento seguinte lança-se mão da pesquisa empírica e a utilização dos resultados obtidos com entrevistas realizadas com ex-representantes que pertenceram ao Poder Legislativo Estadual e membros da sociedade civil organizada capixaba, servindo os resultados obtidos de exemplo para atestar as exposições teóricas e nortear a conclusão acerca da representação no que tange a seu desenvolvimento, à caracterização de suas relações e sua efetividade. Como conclusão apresenta-se os novos caminhos que a representação política passa a traçar na atualidade, como consequência da modificação das formas de comunicação, que expõe outras alternativas além dos meios de mídia de massa, bem como o declínio do papel dos partidos políticos nas relações de intermediação entre o candidato/político e seus eleitores, e a força do capital. A compreensão que se chega do fenômeno da representação política na atualidade é de um quadro de mudanças e adequações, a partir das novas realidades que se apresentam nas relações sociais e políticas, que expõem uma ligação entre representantes e representados que se mantem. E apesar das sinuosidades que se impõem a partir da força do capital e da desigualdade social promovida pela realidade estratos dominantes e dominados, os novos caminhos da representação política apontam pelo perdurar da conexão e responsividade entre mandatários e mandantes, afastando uma ideia de crise.

This paper introduces a concept of demo arising mainly among people who have common interest in computer graphics and multimedia. The paper shows strong relationship between realtime visualization methods and the subject of this work, so-called demo programs. These programs are the most attractive production produced by community of demo-makers and also the ones most related to conceptual, mathematic and algorithmic fields of computer graphics. Methods used in demo programs varies from simple like „phong“ illumination model, generation of objects from layers, cartoon rendering style or bump-mapping, to complex: realtime ray-tracing, rendering of correct reflections or soft shadows. This work presents six demo programs made by author together with „Nesnausk!“ demo-makers group, also analyses available methods of edge detection and visualization, and describes the method proposed by author, which has distributed calculations between central and video card processors. This method is used as a main visualization effect in „Zenit“ demo program.

A dissertação está dividida em duas partes, sendo a primeira, marcada por uma problematização a respeito do novo ambiente comunicacional e suas implicações sobre a livre troca de conteúdos, complementada por uma descrição da situação dos artistas autônomos face às reconfigurações pelas quais passa a indústria da música. Na segunda parte, tomando como opção metodológica o estudo de caso, descreve-se o funcionamento dos espaços mais representativos da internet onde se observa a difusão do mp3-demo. Adotam-se como corpora da pesquisa artistas maranhenses que fazem uso destes espaços visando maior divulgação de seu trabalho. Como resultado, avaliamos as mudanças na cadeia produtiva da música e seus reflexos sobre os modelos autônomos de produção, circulação e consumo

Given the increasing emphasis on multi-perspective modelling, the University of Pretoria’s Industrial Engineering Department requires a tool that enables horizontal transformation between DEMO (Design and Engineering Methodology for Organisations) models and other models. This tool needs to be available free-of-charge, up-to-date, and vertically consistent, and should enable horizontal transformation between DEMO models and other models such as the BPMN (Business Process Model and Notation) models. Using design science research, this dissertation develops a part of this tool by first identifying and evaluating currently available tools, then discovering how other authors have approached model consistency and transformation, and finally developing a tool in ADOxx that supports the modelling of DEMO’s construction model– more specifically, the organisation construction diagram (OCD) and transaction product table (TPT) and transformations from the OCD to BPMN collaboration diagrams. The new tool, called DMT (Demo Modelling Tool), is demonstrated by modelling two case studies within the tool, and then performing four transformations. It is evaluated by having postgraduate participants model the same case study and rate the tool using pre-established usability criteria. / Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2020. / Industrial and Systems Engineering / MEng / Unrestricted

Abstract The purpose of this research is to investigate the ocean¡¦s sustainable uses and explore new development potentials for the Taiwanese fishing industry. In addition, several possible options are proposed, while the strategies for the operability and development of the Southern Ocean Park are discussed. Furthermore, analyses of the operations at the Little Ryukyu Demo Region, the preliminary demonstration site for the Southern Ocean Park, are performed and assessed. This research begins by analyzing the oceanic industries both in Taiwan and around the world, and then continues to examine ocean maricultures and aqua-farms. Legal regulations pertaining to the fishing industries are also investigated to assess the future and the potential of the Southern Ocean Park. The research draws the following key conclusions: 1. The ocean provides an important basis of development for Taiwan in its expansion of land use. 2. Current development of ocean use and relevant industries around the world are already showing progressive trends in a diversity of industries and fronts. 3. The Southern Ocean Park utilizes netted marine aqua-farms as a main developmental focus. However, opportunities to continue development in various oceanic industries in the future are greatly desired. 4. The netted marine aqua-farms are suitable for the growth of Taiwanese fishing industry, but are faced with the following issues: (1.) The degree of ocean pollution, although less than land-based mari-cultures and fisheries, are still an important and a necessary issue to address. Improvements to farming and feeding technologies will be required to reduce the environmental impact. (2.) The legal use of oceanic territories, especially pertaining to the regulation and security of netted marine aqua-farms, still await numerous bills to be passed. (3.) Faced with competition from other countries, a lack of immediate effort in Taiwan may result in losing the benefits and advantages of the netted marine aqua-farms. 5. The legal proceedings for the Southern Ocean Park have been categorized as part of the legislative group under the Ocean Administration Development Committee of the Executive Yuan. 6. The following presents key strategies in the development of the Southern Ocean Park: (1.) With the success of the Ryukyu Demo Region, the development can then be extended to other oceanic territories. The acquisition of such experience can serve to maximize the success rate of future, large-scale oceanic developments in other regions. (2.) Prime promoters of the Southern Ocean Park should persuade the higher-level government offices to draw attention and focus for the development of sustainable use of the environment and the bigger picture, rather than a singular development meant only for the fishing industries. This is the only way to acquire more resources and support from other offices and committees. (3.) After President Chen declared an increased effort to elevate oceanic industries in the south, the Southern Ocean Park has declined over time to its current status as an unimportant pending policy. Committed individuals must join forces with the legislative and scholar branches to apply continuous pressure on the Fishing Administration Department. This is the only way to successful stimulate proper development in the fishing industry. (4.) The Ryukyu Demo Region and other future regions should collect the local resources, especially those pertaining to tourism, and progress toward joint-industry developments. Consequently, the local communities will generate greater support, and bigger economic growth can then be expected.

För att framföra en timmerlastbil med 74 tons bruttovikt i svensk trafik, krävs ett tillstånd från Trafikverket. Tillståndet består av ett dokument som visar vilka vägar och broar fordonet får trafikera och vilka regler som gäller när man kör lastbilen. Skogsbolaget Sveaskog startade ett examensarbete med syfte att skapa möjlighet att i realtid presentera för lastbilsföraren vilka vägar och broar som är en del av transportdispensen. Detta skulle ske genom att utveckla ett kartstöd för lastbilens fordonsdator med anslutning till GPS för att visualisera dispensdokumentet med de angivna vägsträckorna och broarna. Resultatet av examensarbetet är ett kartstöd som använder tjänster från ArcGIS Online för att presentera geografisk information för användaren. Bakgrundskartan består av en grundkarta från ArcGIS Online. Över grundkartan ligger ett GIS-skikt med vägar och ett annat skikt med broar. Information om huruvida fordonet för närvarande färdas på en väg som ingår i tillståndet eller inte, samt information om regler som gäller för broar på vägavsnittet, presenteras för föraren i realtid. Denna information uppdateras vid varje uppdatering av GPS-positionen. / In order to use a timber truck with 74 ton gross weight in Swedish traffic, a permit from the Swedish transport administration is required. A document shows which roads and bridges the vehicle is allowed to traffic and what rules applies when driving the vehicle. The forest company Sveaskog started a thesis with the aim to create the possibility to determine in real time, which roads and bridges that are part of the transport permit. This should be done by developing a map support for the truck's on-board computer with connection to GPS to visualise the permit of the specified road sections and bridges. The result of the thesis is a map support using services provided by ArcGIS Online to present geographic information to the user. The background map consist of a base map from ArcGIS Online. On top of the background map is a GIS layer with roads and another layer with bridges. Information about whether the vehicle currently is travelling on a road included in the permit or not, as well as information about rules that applies to bridges on the road section, is presented to the driver in real time. This information is updated at each update of the GPS position.

I och med de senaste decenniernas digitalisering och tekniska utveckling inom musikproduktion har det i högre utsträckning blivit möjligt för enskilda utövare att stå för alla led i produktionskedjan - komposition, produktion, ljudteknik, mixning och mastring. Dessa möjligheter har otvivelaktigt satt sin prägel på den moderna musikproduktionen och termer som laptop-producent och engelskans bedroom producer kan idag användas för att beskriva många av vår samtids mest framgångsrika artister och producenter. Jag själv tillhör denna nya generation, för vilken musikproduktion närmast är synonymt med laptop-produktion, och har i min egen praktik upptäckt ett par återkommande problem som jag misstänker har med denna totala kontroll över arbetsflödet att göra. I det här arbetet utforskar jag enkla demos som ett verktyg för att skapa och bibehålla perspektiv på produktionsarbetet av min egenkomponerade musik. Genom kvalitativa intervjuer med andra som också ägnar sig åt att producera egenkomponerad musik fördjupar jag dessutom min problembeskrivning ytterligare och visar att den i all väsentlighet delas av andra som arbetar på liknande sätt som jag gör. / Is temporary loss of perspective an inevitable part of any artistic process? In this project, I explore a strategy to deal with such problems in music production, namely the demo. With the advance of digital audio workstations and the internet, music production has become more accessible than ever before. The term bedroom producer has gone from being slightly derogatory to nowadays aptly describe many of our most influential and popular contemporary artists and producers. Historically, the music production process has been defined by a clear division of labor: artist/songwriter, producer and engineers that record, mix and master. Today, however, artists and producers have the possibility to control most, if not all, of these stages of production on a single computer. The advantages are many to this development, as it increases an individual’s ability to have detailed control of their output. There is, however, a risk that such solitary work becomes unnecessarily frustrating as a consequence of the insistence on doing everything oneself. Put simply, one might overwork and lose perspective on one’s art because so much uninterrupted time is spent with the project at hand. Being of this generation of producers myself, I have lately come to wonder whether my process - writing, producing and mixing my own songs - could become less ridden with temporary loss of perspective by applying a more clear division in my own labor. More precisely, I focus on the earliest part of the production process, the demo. Instead of laboring over longer periods of time with the entire production chain - from inception to final mix - I want to explore a different workflow, which allows me to better sustain a constructive perspective on my songs and productions. In this project, I dedicate time specifically to produce simple demos, the sole purpose of which is to document an idea and guide the potential final production at a later stage. I also interview others who produce their own songs in order to deepen my analysis and strengthen the relevance of my project.

Beryllium and tungsten dust transport is simulated for ITER and DEMO using the dust transport code MIGRAINe. By combining many single-particle simulations a statistical analysis is performed. From that, the evolution of the dust inventories in the reactors is studied. Additionally, predictions are made for the locations at which dust evaporates. Finally, simplified analytical models with a few parameters for fast estimations of the dust inventory evolution are proposed. In the future, these could be integrated into more global models that also take into account dust generation. / Dammtransporten för beryllium och volfram simuleras för ITER och DEMO med dammtransportkoden MIGRAINe. En statistisk analys utförs genom att kombinera många enkelpartikelsimuleringar varpå utvecklingen av damminventeringe i reaktorerna studeras. Dessutom genomförs förutsägelser för de platser där damm evaporerar. Slutligen föreslås förenklade analytiska modeller med få parametrar för snabba uppskattningar av utvecklingen av damminventering. I framtiden kan dessa integreras i mer globala modeller som också tar hänsyn till dammgenerering.

The goal of this thesis was to create graphical demo in OpenGL, which would appropriately react on music, which is inseparable part of graphical demos. Work consists of two main parts, first is programming of real-time graphical engine, second is creating graphical demo which would run on graphical engine created in first part. First part focues on programming of OpenGL based application, which would render scene in real-time using techniques from computer graphics. Second part focuses mainly on graphical activity, which includes 3D modelling, texturing, creating animation and connection to music (reaction of environment and animations to changes in music)
