Stoppa matcherna! : En jämförande undersökning av två tidningars gestaltningar av händelserna i samband med Davis Cupmatcherna i Båstad 1968 och 1975Lind, Rasmus January 2021 (has links)
This essay sheds light on the protest events in connection with the Davis-Cup matches in Båstad in 1968 and 1975. They are relatively close in time, touch on the same sports competition, similar issues, engage largely the same group of protesters and were the subject of enormous media interest. When looking at the events in Båstad in a retrospective light, the event in 1968 is reflected much more strongly than the event in 1975, in this essay this imbalance will be examined in more detail. The main purpose of the essay is to, based on articles in Svenska Dagbladet and Dagens Nyheter, comparatively investigate how these newspapers may have shaped the historical image of the events in connection with the Davis Cup matches in Båstad in 1968 and 1975. The theoretical framework is based on framing theory, which shows how media's representations of reality affect people's perceptions, how media, in some ways but not others, reproduces and disseminates different power centers’. The choice of the theoretical framework rests on the thesis that the newspapers' depiction of the events created a historical picture of them. The newspapers visualize the reality according to preferences that they find to be rewarding now. The essay's methodological starting point is both quantitative and qualitative as it consists of a conventional content analysis on the one hand and is inspired by a quantitative four-step model that is connected to the framing theory on the other. The results show that the framings of the newspapers can be linked to the different course of events of the protests, as well as the modernization of social institutions, in particular sports. In 1968, the white sport was still white, but the events in Båstad nullified the possibility of seriously claiming that sports and politics did not influence each other. The similar framings of the newspapers in 1975 also show how far the abolition of authority had come. Sport was opened to the world and to politics, modernized and democratized and is today more democratically governed than before.

Attenuation of Acid Mine Drainage Enhanced by Organic Carbon and Limestone Addition: A Process CharacterizationGillmor, Anna M 01 January 2011 (has links) (PDF)
Surface and groundwaters in contact with mining-exposed pyritic materials have the capacity to generate acid mine drainage (AMD), an acidic, sulfate-rich, metals-laden effluent. The Davis Mine located in northwestern Massachusetts offers a model site to study the processes of natural attenuation of acid mine drainage. These include physico-chemical processes such as dilution and sorption, geochemical processes such as aluminosilicate weathering and biological processes such as transformation and cycling of sulfate, iron and acidity by bacterial metabolism. A focus of recent research undertaken at the site has been characterizing the presence and activity of these bacteria with an aim to stimulate their capacity to attenuate the severity of acidic conditions. To further this investigation, a pilot-scale treatment system was installed, composed of a modified permeable reactive barrier containing organic carbon and limestone. Down-gradient groundwater was sampled over a sixteen-month period for concentrations of dissolved metals, major cations and sulfate, along with pH and redox measurements. The results showed a decrease in dissolved metals, a possible increase in calcium and decrease in sulfate, and measurable increase in pH and corresponding decrease in oxidation-reduction potential. Major decreases in dissolved iron and aluminum were observed, a change which is not entirely consistent with metals removal by combination with biogenic sulfide alone. The additional influence of hydrolysis was proposed and the anticipated action of this alternate process found to bear resemblance to the observed changes. Groundwater composition from the experimental period was compared to previous measurements and significant changes described in pH, iron, aluminum, copper and zinc and to a lesser extent in calcium and sulfate. Comparisons were also made with concurrent surface water compositions and findings of analogous studies. Conclusions that can be drawn include: the pH and redox environment into which a treatment system is placed can greatly influence the reactions which take place, side-reactions which occur in reducing and alkalinity-generating amendments may also have an attenuating effect, and variable processes influence groundwater composition in these biogeochemically complex environments.

Transkription till improvisation : En studie i utvecklande av improvisationsteknik / Transcription to Improvisation – A Study in Development of Improvisational TechniquesIsaksson, William January 2022 (has links)
I den här undersökningen har jag fördjupat mig i två framstående jazzmusikers improvisationergenom transkribering och analys. Med hjälp av egenproducerade backing tracks har tre egna improvisationer därefter spelats in i syfte att undersöka instuderingens inverkan på min egen musikaliska praktik och mina konstnärliga val därtill. De tre egna improvisationerna har haft olika utgångspunkter i avsikt att kunna jämföras med varandra. Arbetet har resulterat i nya insikter om mig själv som improvisatör, en djupare förståelse för Miles Davis och John Coltrane samt bidragit till ny konkret kunskap för improvisation på Rhythm Changes.

Do tecer do algodão ao tecer da informação: organizando a explosão informacional do século XIX / -Mendes, Luciana Corts 27 November 2014 (has links)
Analisa os objetivos e propostas de organização da informação desenvolvidos pelo Movimento Bibliográfico e indica sua influência na Ciência da Informação. Esta pesquisa de natureza exploratória, realizada através de levantamento, revisão e análise bibliográficos, investiga o pensamento de Paul Otlet, Wilhelm Ostwald, H. G. Wells, John Cotton Dana e Watson Davis, expoentes do Movimento Bibliográfico, no contexto da modernidade. O Movimento Bibliográfico caracterizava-se por sua pluralidade e buscava responder às alterações no mundo informacional decorrentes da modernidade. O movimento atribuía à informação a potencialidade de transformação dos indivíduos e, portanto, transformou o foco dos serviços de informação da preservação para o acesso, procurando organizar acervos em função de seus conteúdos. O desenvolvimento tecnológico contemporâneo ao movimento fez com que seus expoentes enfatizassem a aplicação de novas tecnologias ao processo de disseminação da informação, pois entendiam que este seria facilitado e agilizado. A Ciência da Informação herdou seu papel social parcialmente do Movimento Bibliográfico, objetivando a organização da informação para seu acesso, e compartilha com o movimento a perspectiva de emprego de alta tecnologia na disseminação da informação. O espírito do tempo no qual se originou o Movimento Bibliográfico levou ao aparecimento de um ideário comum que permitiu a elaboração de propostas similares, entretanto, não se descarta a influência mútua entre os indivíduos analisados na pesquisa. Apesar de sua especificidade histórica, o Movimento Bibliográfico compartilha com a Ciência da Informação o ideário informacional moderno e a relação deste com a cultura. Conclui-se que a cultura da informação contemporânea e aquela do movimento pesquisado apresentam diferenças, porém são culturas que se entrelaçam; muitos de seus problemas sendo semelhantes e necessitando soluções similares. / Analyses the objectives and proposals of information organisation developed by the Bibliographic Movement, and indicates its influence in Information Science. This exploratory research, accomplished through bibliographic survey, literature review, and analysis, investigates in the context of modernity the ideas of Bibliographic Movement exponents Paul Otlet, Wilhelm Ostwald, H. G. Wells, John Cotton Dana, and Watson Davis. The Bibliographic Movement was characterized by its plurality, and aimed to respond to modernity\'s effects in the information world. The movement attributed to information the potentiality of individual transformation. Therefore, it changed the focus of information services from preservation to access, and pursued the organisation of collections according to its contents. The development of technology made the Bibliographic Movement exponents emphasise the application of new technologies to the process of information dissemination in order to facilitate and accelerate it. Information Science inherited its social role partially from the Bibliographic Movement, and aims at organising information so that it can be accessed. Information Science also shares with the movement the perspective of employing high technology to disseminate information. The Zeitgeist that gave rise to the Bibliographic Movement led to a common set of ideas and allowed the elaboration of similar proposals for the organisation of information. However, it is not discarded the probability of mutual influence between the individuals analysed. Despite its historical specificity the Bibliographic Movement shares with Information Science modern ideas and its relation to culture. It is concluded that the current information culture and the information culture of the Bibliographic Movement have differences, notwithstanding, they are entwined cultures and many of their problems are similar and need similar solutions

[pt] A dissertação tem como objetivo apresentar e comparar as
trajetórias e
pensamento de Angela Yvonne Davis (Alabama/EUA, 1944) e
Lélia Almeida
Gonzalez (Minas Gerais/Brasil, 1935 - Rio de
Janeiro/Brasil, 1994) - duas
intelectuais e militantes dos movimentos negros nos EUA e
no Brasil. Angela
destacou-se internacionalmente na década de 1960 como
símbolo da luta negra nos
EUA, o impacto da sua imagem se inscreveu na memória
daqueles que viveram
aqueles anos. Lélia foi militante importante do movimento
negro brasileiro de finais
dos anos 1970, quando também participou ativamente luta
política pela
redemocratização do país. Minha discussão das obras dos
autores enfatiza as
teorizações desenvolvidas acerca da inserção das mulheres
negras em seus países,
com destaque para o debate a respeito das experiências das
mesmas com a escravidão.
Explora-se, ao longo da dissertação, o legado conceitual
que deixaram para os estudos
contemporâneos sobre relações raciais. / [en] My goal with this thesis to present and compare the
trajectories and thoughts
of Angela Yvonne Davis (Alabama/USA, 1944) and Lélia
Almeida Gonzalez (Minas
Gerais/Brasil, 1935 - Rio de Janeiro/Brasil, 1994) - both
women intellectuals and
activists of the Black movements in the US and Brazil.
Angela became internationally
known in the 1960s as a Black struggle symbol in the US.
The impact of her figure
still lingers on in the memory of those who lived in those
years. Lélia was an
important activist in the Brazilian Black movement of the
late 1970s, when she
intensively took part in the political struggle for the
return of democracy in Brazil.
My discussion of the authors´ main works emphasizes the
theoretical essays they
developed on the social insertion of black women in their
countries. It specially
highlights the debate forwarded on black women experiences
under slavery.
Throughout the thesis I call attention for the
contribution of their conceptual legacy
for contemporary studies on racial relations.

Att lyssna till meningen i mellanrummet : En läsning av Jean-Luc Nancys Listening ur Jacques Derridas différance i klangen av musikens blå toner / Listening to the meaning in the space between : A reading of Jean-Luc Nancy’s Listening through Jacques Derridas différance in the sonority of the blue notesUlriksson, Tanja January 2020 (has links)
This essay attempts to listen to meaning in the borderland, and asks in between which faculties and senses, through which we see and/or listen to the world, do we seek sense? My writing is located on this border, or more precisely on the erased border that I call an interspace or an interval, the place where we look for sense in the relation between language, philosophy, politics, and music. I have done this through the reading of three contemporary philosophers: Jacques Derrida, Jean-Luc Nancy, and Angela Davis. Derrida and Nancy have provided me with a theoretical and philosophical background for my approach to Davis’s philosophic and political claims. My analysis sets out from Derrida’s différance and what it reveals in the sign system of language. This is continued through a discussion of Nancy’s question: Is philosophy capable of listening, in all senses of the word? Is the philosopher not someone who always hears? In my reading, this connection is established through the blue notes. Davis, finally, provides me with a support for my claim that we, in the political significance of blues, in the traces of meaning that it contains, might be able to listen to Derrida’s différance. Keywords: Listening, meaning, différance, blues, sonority, blue notes, in between, border, subject, Jacques Derrida, Angela Y Davis, Jean-Luc Nancy. / Denna uppsats syftar till att försöka lyssna till meningen i gränslandet – mellan vilka relationer i våra förmågor och sinnen, av att se och/eller lyssna till världen, söker vi mening? Jag vill skriva om den gränsen, eller mer kanske den utsuddade gränsen i platsen jag kallar mellansfär och mellanrum, som den plats där vi söker mening i relationen mellan språk, filosofi, politik och musik. När vi idag söker mening och talar om varat, om individen och subjektivitet, kan det vara så att vi inte längre kan göra det genom fasta tecken, system och former? Istället för att stanna kvar i ett tillstånd av upprepande och separerande som landar i uteslutande och förtryck, i värdeskalor och normer, istället för att endast höra klassiska notsystem, eller förstå språkliga regler hos fasta teckensystem; kan det vara så att vi idag får vända oss till lyssnandet och mellansfären i de blå tonernas différance för att förstå olika individer och subjektivitet i relation till världen? Genom att göra en analys av Derridas term différance i hans text med samma namn: ”Différance” ur boken Margins of philosophy, ska jag försöka närma mig Nancys bok Listening samt läsa hans text genom tanken på différance i Nancys teori och förståelse om lyssnandet. För att undersöka hur lyssnande och musik kan få ett praktiskt uttryck, av de teoretiska meningarna vi söker i différance, vill jag använda musikgenrerna blues och jazz och de blå toner som bluesen förhåller sig i och mellan. Min teori är att bluesen kan ge en plats (av flera) för var skillnader möts mellan text, värld och musik; platsen där différance kan lyssnas till, synliggöras och hörs. I den teorin vänder jag mig till Angela Davis bok Blues Legacies and Black Feminism som stöd för bluesens utveckling. Det jag ämnar närma mig hos Davis är just bluesens meningssökande och plats i samhället

Unconquerable Defiance: Richmond Newspapers and Confederate Defeat, 1864-1865Berler, Anne K. 01 January 2007 (has links)
This thesis describes and analyses how the Richmond press operated as a propaganda machine during the final year of the Civil War. It argues that the newspapers of the Confederate capital regularly exploited the propaganda value of the news they reported, employing methods including distortion of facts and libelous personal attacks. They displayed a seemingly total disregard for veracity in their zeal to convince their readership that the cause was not lost, and created a false picture of the real situation to a population which was war-weary and desperate for reassurance that victory was still possible. Defeats were minimized and even the tiniest victory in the most insignificant skirmish was magnified. When the Northern army began its strategy of hard war, the Richmond press seized on that to help create a demonized portrait of the Yankee and the North.
