News Corp Translated: Framing the United States in BulgariaSotirova, Nadezhda Mihaylova 16 June 2009 (has links)
This study examined framing in two Bulgarian television stations and their web sites. Framing within the web sites' news coverage of the United States was examined during the one-month period immediately following the 2008 United States presidential election. The news articles gathered from the two web sites were examined for amount of coverage, frame presence and valence, as well as hyperlinks, in order to offer insight into the fields of gatekeeping, framing, and corporate ownership bias. Suggestions of bias were found in terms of the overall tone of the articles but not in the amount of coverage. There was a significant difference between the two web sites in the tone of coverage concerning individuals and events. / Master of Arts

Vinst eller förlust, en studie av Libanonkriget 2006 / Win or lose, a studie of the 2006 Lebanon warThor, Anders January 2012 (has links)
Hur ska resultatet av ett krig mätas, på vilket sätt är det möjligt att opartiskt bedöma vem som vunnit eller förlorat. I många fall är resultatet uppenbart, ingen tvivlar t.ex. på att Storbritannien vann Falklandskriget, utfallet på slagfältet motsvarar uppfattning av vem som vann kriget. Men i många moderna krig är situationen en annan, utgången kan vara omtvistad, eller så är det svårt att uppfatta om kriget överhuvudtaget har avslutats. I uppsatsen används score-keeping teorin som är ett sätt att analysera resultatet av ett krig, vilken aktör vann? Fallet som analyseras är Libanonkri-get 2006 som utkämpades mellan Israel och Hizbollah och är intressant då resultatet dels är om-tvistat samt att det skedde mellan en stat och en organisation som är grupperad inom och verkar ifrån en annan stat. Uppsatsens syfte är därför att utifrån score-keeping teorin analysera Libanonkriget 2006. Den vetenskapliga frågan som skall besvaras är: Vilken aktör kan sägas ha vunnit Libanonkriget 2006 utifrån score-keeping teorin. Designen för undersökningen är en teorikonsumerande studie av Libanonkriget 2006 där av teorin givna variabler operationaliseras för att kunna ställas mot ett urval ur empirin. Undersökningens resultat visar att utifrån score-keeping teorin kan Hizbollah anses vara vinnare i Libanonkriget 2006. Vidare visar undersökningen på ett antal utmaningar med att tillämpa score-keeping teorin på Libanonkriget 2006 med hänsyn till den asymmetri som rådde mellan aktörerna. / How can the outcome of a war be measured, in what way is it possible to impartially determine who won or lost. In many cases the result is obvious, as there is no doubt that Great Britain won the Falklands war, the outcome on the battlefield was equivalent of the perception of who won the war. But in many modern wars the situation can be different, the outcome may be disputed, or it is even hard to understand if the war has finished at all. This essay is using score-keeping theory, which is a way to analyze the outcome of a war, who won? The case analyzed in this essay is the Lebanon war in 2006 which was fought between Israel and Hezbollah and is interesting because the result is both much-disputed and it was fought between a government and an organization that was deployed within and acting from another state. The purpose of this essay is therefore to analyze the 2006 Lebanon war by applying the score-keeping theory. The scientific question to be answered is: Which participant can be stated to have won the 2006 Lebanon war on the basis of score-keeping theory. The design of the study is a theory-consuming survey of the 2006 Lebanon war, where the given variables from the theory are operationalized to be set against a selection from the empirics. The survey´s result shows that according to the score-keeping theory Hezbollah is considered to have won in the 2006 Lebanon war. Furthermore, the survey shows a number of challenges in applying the score-keeping theory in the 2006 Lebanon war, given the asymmetry that prevailed between the participants.

Horologia Romana. Recherche sur les instruments de mesure du temps à l'époque romaine - Etude typologique, urbanistique et sociale / Horologia romana, archaeological research on Roman time-keeping instruments : Typological, urbanistic and social studyBonnin, Jérôme 05 April 2012 (has links)
Les horloges romaines constituent un vaste corpus archéologique largement sous exploité et en grande partie inédit. Pourtant, ces instruments mériteraient à plus d’un titre une étude approfondie, tant les domaines liés à leur compréhension sont multiples. Le travail effectué ici se veut le plus complet possible et tente d’aborder le maximum de disciplines. Il apporte des informations sur les typologies d’instruments utilisées, sur les dénominations connues, sur le champ lexical utilisé pour désigner ces instruments dans l’Antiquité, mais également sur le contexte historique et géographique dans lequel ils se sont développés. À l’aide de vastes catalogues des éléments archéologiques mais également des mentions épigraphiques et des représentations iconographiques connues, le rôle urbanistique tout autant que symbolique de ces instruments, a pu être mis en avant. Les horloges se trouvaient dans de nombreux endroits publics de la cité, dans les domus les plus riches, mais également dans les jardins des villae, le long des nécropoles, sur certains tombeaux. Certaines pouvaient être emportées en voyage, servir de « boussole » avant l’heure. Monumentales, elles servaient de parure urbaine et d’acte d’évergétisme de choix. À l’intérieur des sanctuaires, elles possédaient une place bien précise. Les résultats de ce travail novateur permettent donc d’envisager les horloges, à l’époque romaine, autrement que comme simples « garde temps ». / Roman clocks form a vast archaeological corpus still under-exploited and for the most part unpublished. However, the subject deserves attention since the fields of activities covered by those instruments are numerous. The purpose of the present archaeological study is to provide comprehension guidelines of all fields of activities covered by the horologia. It brings information on typologies, on known denomination, on lexical fields used in Antiquity, but also on the historical and geographical context of their deployment. Thanks to a huge corpus of the archaeological evidence (563), but also the epigraphical evidences (102) and the iconographical illustration (122) known to us, the urbanistic function of those instruments, as well as the symbolic one, have been put forward. Horologia were everywhere, in cities’ public places, inside the domus of the wealthy, but also in the garden of villae, by the side of necropolis, on some graves. Some were designed for professional or geographical uses (for example in order to be used during long travels, as a compass before the hour). Inside sanctuaries, their uses are not totally understood but they undoubtedly took an active part in the definition of the cult. Some were monumentalised and, as such, were ordered and offered by citizens. To offer a clock was indeed a common act of euergetism in the cities of the Empire.The results of this innovative study which combine archaeology, epigraphy and iconography with astronomy, show that the Roman Horologia were more than simple “time keepers”. They deserve our attention as archaeological objects but also as sociological objects: studying Roman clocks can help us understand our modern conception of time.

Historie, vývoj a současné chovatelské trendy akvaristiky / History, development and present breeder trends in aquaristicsKučerová, Kateřina January 2012 (has links)
History, development, and present breeding trends in aquaristics The presented diploma thesis is based on empirical research, and deals with the history, development, and current trends in aquaristics. The theoretical part is focused on qualitative content analysis of relevant specialized literature. This thesis defines history and development of aquaristics in the world, as well as in our country, and compares current and past aquarium equipment and methods. In this work are presented and described current trends in modern aquaristics. The text is complemented by contemporary drawings and layouts of historical and recent equipment and technology. The research part is focused on data obtained from quantitative content analysis of aquarium publications, where is observed frequency of mentions in the text of particular species of aquarium fish. At the same time the results are compared with the content analysis of statistical data of aquaristics portals aimed at the real preferences of breeders. From the conclusion results that in their articles the authors preferred some of the selected families in each of the examined periods. Most preferred family was Cichlidae, Characidae and Cyprinidae. However, often presented species of aquarium fish do not correlate with the real preferences of modern...

Feasibility of automating FIWC website noncompliance monitoring and enforcement activitiesGalante, Victoria Josephine 06 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / For written word to reach the public in hardcopy form, a manuscript is submitted to a publisher. After numerous review and modification cycles, the document is printed and distributed, often through intermediaries. Finally, it reaches the hands and eyes of perhaps thousands. This contrasts dramatically with the Internet where, within minutes of completion, text can be seen by millions. The Internet offers enormous research power. With a PC and a phone line, one can locate a recipe for delicious meringue or deadly ricin; can research a thesis or the step-by-step fabrication of a thermonuclear device. Recognizing the potential for misuse as well as for informing the public, the Department of Defense charged each of its agencies with the responsibility of policing content and form of that agency's publicly accessible websites. As the United States Navy command responsible for this daunting assignment, FIWC faces a job that grows in complexity and size by the day. Taking on this problem manually would result, at best, in unitary growth of dedicated resources and a similar increase in potential for error, both of oversight and of inappropriate action. This thesis provides one approach to automating FIWC's website monitoring and enforcement activities. The approach it advocates is focused on reducing manpower and increasing accuracy. This architecture - a generic model with a GUI database frontend - is presented, not as an ultimate solution, but rather as a solid first step. / Civilian, Department of Defense

Design and Implementation of an Intelligent Vehicle Driving ControllerWen, Yi-Hsuan 03 September 2010 (has links)
The goal of this thesis is to implement the control and design of an intelligent vehicle based on an embedded DSP platform (eZdspTM F2812). The overall system including steering wheel AC serve motor, brake actuator, throttle driving circuit and the sensors is equipped in a golf car as a platform. Otherwise, digital image processing technology is used to realize the autonomous driving system which can achieve multi-mode of lane-keeping, lane-change and obstacle-avoidance.
In the lane-keeping control, the road information can be provided by the vision system. According to the offset and displacement of angle as input signal, a fuzzy controller is used to compute the desired steering wheel angle and let the golf car can cross road safely. In lane-change, a smooth trajectory can be generated by IMU, IMU is used to collect the information data of yaw rate and yaw angle when human-driving. That makes autonomous driving system become more humanlike and to achieve an open-loop lane-change maneuver. In obstacle-avoidance, we use a laser range scanner to detect the distance of a front obstacle. When the distance is lower than safety distance, double lane-change will be activated to avoid the front obstacle. The overall system has been examined on NSYSU campus roads.

Spiritual Journal Keeping: An Ethnographic Study of Content, Materials, Practice, and StructureSiracky, Hailey 28 November 2013 (has links)
This thesis reports the findings of an exploratory, ethnographic study of the spiritual journal keeping practices of Catholic university students at the 'Harbour House,' a Catholic student centre and parish operating on the campus of a large, Canadian university. Guided by the question,'How and why do Catholic students keep journals to document their spiritual lives?' it examines journal keeping in the context of Catholic spirituality, the relationships students have with their journals as spiritual documents, and the representations of information found in spiritual journals. Findings are organized under the themes of Content, Materials, Practice, and Structure, and demonstrate that spiritual journal keeping is a deeply personal activity that involves a variety of unique and individualized information practices and behaviours, developed and used in order to better navigate a vast and mysterious spiritual path, and to work towards spiritual growth.
