Connecting the periphery: three papers on the developments caused by spreading transportation and information networks in the nineteenth century United StatesPerlman, Elisabeth Ruth 07 November 2016 (has links)
This dissertation focuses on how transportation and information networks change the geographic distribution of economic activity. The first and second chapters examine the geographic distribution of patenting in the nineteenth century United States. The third explores the impact of the rollout of Rural Free Delivery (RFD) in the early twentieth century on voting behavior.
In Chapter One, I examine the relationship between patenting activity and transportation access, using a newly collected panel dataset at the county level spanning the nineteenth century United State. I find a robust, statistically significant, positive effect of increases in local transportation access on patents per capita. The effect is large --- patents per capita double over the twenty years following introduction of the railroad. I ask if this increase is due to inventors responding to larger markets afforded by transportation improvements. I find modest evidence that market access explains the increase in patent activity, but most of the relationship seems to be explained by other variables correlated with transportation access.
The second chapter proposes a novel way to study technology diffusion, investigating how transportation changes information absorption. Using digitized patent texts, I measure whether any given patent mentions previous, novel technologies within a particular window of time. The arrival speed of these new ideas is only weakly related transportation improvements; expansions of the transportation network disproportionately benefit the most develop places. Together, these two chapters suggest that the positive effect of transportation access on patenting is due to transportation forming a nexus that encourages local agglomerations, but leave the question of the overall impact of lager transportation networks on innovation unclear.
Chapter Three focuses on the how mail delivery spread new information, studying the rollout of Rural Free Delivery (RFD) in the early twentieth century. Using a newly constructed panel data set, the analysis shows that voters in communities receiving more RFD routes distributed their votes to more parties; however, there is no evidence of an effect on turnout. RFD shifted positions taken by Representatives in line with their rural constituents, including increased support for pro-temperance and anti-immigration policies. The results only occur in counties with local newspapers, suggesting that the main channel is a lowered cost to voters of acquiring information relevant to political choices.

E-mail marketingJurnečková, Jana January 2014 (has links)
The thesis deals with e-mail marketing. It focuses on identifying factors that affect the behavior of users of e-mail and newsletter subscribers. It evaluates the role of e-mail marketing as a part of communication mix of companies and e-shops, current trends, e-mail campaigns, e-mail marketing software provider. To study the behavior of users of e-mail and newsletter subscribers a questionnaire survey was conducted on a sample of 610 respondents and in-depth interviews (n = 30). Content analysis was used to analyze electronic commercial communication. The results allowed to formulate recommendations for creation of e-mail campaigns of e-shops, Internet shops and other companies.

Previous issue date: 2006 / Tapscot (1999), afirma que essa é a primeira geração a crescer cercada da mídia digital e a tem utilizado para brincar, aprender, comunicar-se e formar relacionamentos. Nesse sentido, vários autores (Marcuschi, 2004; Xavier, 2002; Paiva, 2004 e Costa, 2005, entre outros), vêm questionando o papel da escola diante dessa nova forma de comunicação. Marcuschi, 2004 questiona se a escola se ocupará em pesquisar como se produz um e-mail e outros gêneros digitais ou ficará apenas analisando como se escrevem cartas ou bilhetes.
Nesse sentido, a presente pesquisa teve como objetivo investigar a produção de e-mail por crianças da 2ª série, do ensino fundamental I. Para tal, foram investigados alunos de duas turmas de duas escolas públicas do Recife produzindo e lendo e-mail pessoal e formal. Para a produção desses e-mails foi construída uma seqüência de atividades, as quais possibilitaram a contextualização das situações de produção dos e-mails, de maneira que os mesmos fossem escritos em situações reais de comunicação. Foi construído um projeto didático que visava incentivar a leitura. Dessa forma os alunos foram envolvidos na leitura de histórias infantis, na produção de resenhas para incentivar os colegas a novas leituras e, finalmente, a solicitação desses livros às editoras.
Quanto aos resultados, constatou-se que os alunos conseguiram escrever a resenha e enviá-la via e-mail para um colega e solicitar a doação de livros para a biblioteca. Foram detectados, assim, intercâmbios comunicativos nessa nova realidade textual. A maioria dos alunos conseguiu executar as atividades com êxito, reconhecendo-as como uma possibilidade de comunicação. Assim, acredita-se que essa pesquisa forneceu subsídios para que as escolas possam utilizar mais os laboratórios de informática e criar atividades mais significativas para os alunos, promovendo a inclusão digital em escolas públicas e, conseqüentemente, trazendo contribuições e implicações ao processo ensino-aprendizagem

An investigation into some critical computer networking parameters : Internet addressing and routingIsted, Edwin David January 1996 (has links)
This thesis describes the evaluation of several proposals suggested as replacements for the currenT Internet's TCPJIP protocol suite. The emphasis of this thesis is on how the proposals solve the current routing and addressing problems associated with the Internet. The addressing problem is found to be related to address space depletion, and the routing problem related to excessive routing costs. The evaluation is performed based on criteria selected for their applicability as future Internet design criteria. AIl the protocols are evaluated using the above-mentioned criteria. It is concluded that the most suitable addressing mechanism is an expandable multi-level format, with a logical separation of location and host identification information. Similarly, the most suitable network representation technique is found to be an unrestricted hierarchical structure which uses a suitable abstraction mechanism. It is further found that these two solutions could adequately solve the existing addressing and routing problems and allow substantial growth of the Internet.

Racialized Sexualities within the Romance Tour Industry: the Influence of Affect and Emotion Upon Transnational Hierarchies of DesireMeszaros, Julia H 24 June 2014 (has links)
Online international introduction sites that offer romance tours to American men in search of a foreign bride are an important and rapidly growing component of the internet dating industry; the number of these agencies in the U.S. tripled from two hundred to six hundred in the past 10 years. Previous scholars have examined the so-called ‘mail order bride’ industry in order to demonstrate that the women involved are agents and not victims. Many scholars have also highlighted the importance of race in shaping American men’s desires in one particular region or country. My dissertation provides an important addition to the literature surrounding romance tourism by including participants from all three major regions associated with romance tourism: Eastern Europe, South America, and Southeast Asia. I collected the data for the dissertation by becoming a participant observer of a romance tour in Ukraine, Colombia, and the Philippines. I argue that romance tourism is an important example of the global intimate, and the ways in which globalized processes are created and sustained through everyday intimate emotions and interactions. By examining the ways in which the emotions of desire, disgust, and anxiety influence individual romance tour participant’s constructions of racialized hierarchies, the links between individual emotions and global systems are revealed. The concept of the global intimate challenges the hierarchy of scale that places the body, the home, and the intimate on a much lower level than the scale of the global or the national, and at the same time challenges the binary that divides the individual from the global. Through highlighting the different emotional negotiations that are constantly occurring in the romance tour industry, I highlight the important ways in which individual emotions and affects influence global processes on a large scale and vice versa.
