This work aims, in general terms, to analyze the possibility of integration of metadata standards in the development of finding aids for photographic archives, favoring the user in the recover of the wanted images. In specific terms, it intends to present the photographic archives in the context of documentary heritage, including its characteristics as well as the knowledge area that act in its treatment in order to facilitate its access and the utilization by the users; to analyze procedures, methods and standards of Archives Administration, Librarianship and Museum studies, susceptible to be used in the preparation of instruments that allow the recovery/location of photographs, to study the provisions and applications of Semantic Web and Web 2.0 in order to use them as instruments to disseminate archival descriptions and, developing descriptions from the integration of metadata standards between those areas. To this end, there were used the methods of literature review and case study. There are presented, in this sense, the finding aids developed in the Historical Documentation Center Professor Hugo Alberto Alves Pereira, Federal University of Rio Grande, from the integration of metadata standards used by the archive and library science, as well as codified in EAD (Encoded Archival Description). / Este trabalho visa analisar a possibilidade de integração de padrões de metadados no desenvolvimento de instrumentos de pesquisa para acervos fotográficos, favorecendo o usuário na recuperação das imagens desejadas. Em termos específicos, se propõe a apresentar os acervos fotográficos no âmbito do patrimônio documental, compreendendo suas particularidades bem como as áreas do conhecimento que atuam em seu tratamento no intuito de viabilizar seu acesso e utilização por parte dos usuários; analisar procedimentos, métodos e padrões empregados por profissionais da Arquivologia, Biblioteconomia e Museologia, passíveis de serem utilizados na elaboração de instrumentos que possibilitem a recuperação/localização de fotografias que podem integrar acervos de arquivos, bibliotecas e museus; estudar os preceitos e aplicações da Web-Semântica e Web 2.0 no intuito de utilizá-los como ferramentas de divulgação de descrições de acervos e; desenvolver descrições a partir da integração de padrões de metadados entre as referidas áreas.

Multimedia installation combining photography, music and noises, representing the story of the killer and the victim, from their meeting up to death in five main parts.

This project recognizes photographic space as a visualized form of spatial experience and tries to read unspecified spatial information in photos shared in social media. By exploring a photograph, I research how photography, which is a framing activity, has affected spatial experience and cognition. I try to re-build a space with photographs and compare the different characters of original space and photographic space by juxtaposition. The combination of original space and photographic space through a mechanism tool makes designers understand people’s experiential space over spatial hierarchy planned by designers. The project shows three-dimensional space made with photos using a photogrammetry method. It places original space and photographic space within a tool that mechanized the principle of Filippo Brunelleschi’s linear perspective. It highlights the multiple identities of space and visual form of photographic space. Also, by applying Henri Lefebvre’s theory to two different spaces and spatial practices, it gives a clue how designers can understand a photograph as a social product of spatial identity, an independent element from real space. A piece of space is an experiment spatial tool that draws people into multiple experienced spaces. It is tightly connected with spatial contexts; original space, photographic space and spatial practice by people. The whole process in the project consists of experiments that can explore the meaning of photographic space and how it can be positioned in reality. / <p>Some images have been removed for copyright reason.</p>

This diploma thesis deals with digital nomadism (modern way of teleworking, enabled mainly by the existence of internet and social networks) and implications of this phenomenon for journalistic environment and media functioning. In the Czech environment, this issue has been explored so far, and digital nomadism is rapidly changing in view of the rapid technological development of the media environment on the internet. The author wanted to add this gap to the thesis, both in theory and in primary research. Through interviews with specific digital nomads (especially Czechs and Czechs), she tries to answer basic questions about how the digital nomads actually happened, their motivation, the specifics of their work and, last but not least, whether it is possible as a digital nomad - actually a journalist to feed. The concept of digital nomadism first captures theoretically, both in general, in the context of the technological development of the media environment (new media and formats) and changes in the labor market in the journalistic environment, and specifically in terms of media theory. Specifically, it analyzes digital nomadism in the context of technological convergence and media hybridization. In particular, on the basis of available, mainly foreign literature, the concept and concept of digital...

The use of contrast reducing Mie scattering for the derivation of aerosol optical thickness (AOT) of the atmosphere is described in this article. With the aid of Differential Texture Analysis (DTA) the contrast between two visual satellite images will be determined and the AOT will be deduced. An assessment of the DTA algorithm with Landsat 5 TM satellite images for the Munich area is presented here. Problems like false AOT values caused by surface albedo changes and uncertainties in pollution loading are discussed, and proposed solutions will also be presented. Two methods for solving these difficulties, the histogram method and the regression method, will be displayed. / Zur Ableitung der Aerosol optischen Dicke (AOT) der Atmosphäre erweist sich die kontrastreduzierende Wirkung der Mie-Streuung an Aerosolpartikeln als nützlich. Zwischen zwei unterschiedlich belasteten visuellen Satellitenbildern wird mit Hilfe der Differentiellen Texturanalyse (DTA) der Kontrastunterschied beider berechnet und daraus die AOT abgeleitet. In dieser Arbeit geht es um die Bewertung des DTA-Algorithmus' anhand von Landsat 5 TM Satellitenbildern vom Großraum München. Im Folgenden werden auch Probleme des DTA-Codes, wie z.B. falsch detektierte AOT auf Grund von Änderungen der Bodenalbedo und zu niedrig ermittelte AOT-Werte bedingt durch Ungereimtheiten der Belastungssituationen der Satellitenbilder, diskutiert und Lösungsvorschläge, u.a. die Histogramm- und Regressionsmethode, präsentiert.

Ethics, credibility and objectivity in the history of photography, especially journalistic This work deals with photography as with a socio-ethical pictorial medium, and covers the period from its invention to the mid-fifties of 20th century. I describe the history and development of ethical aspects of photography in the context of the process from image taking to its publication in the press, and its importance in the context of the time. The photos presented in the thesis are selected from those that have, due to their specific impact at the time they were taken, particular importance, and have extraordinary informative value related to ethical aspects in the historical development of photography. I mention photographers and photos that draw attention to the newly emerged ethical problems enable others to see pains, wickedness and injustice in the society, to rouse conscience of the society, and give impetus to correct these. In this respect, photography has played an important and irreplaceable role. There are also presented photographs documenting ethical failures of whole nations under the influence of monstrous ideologies of charismatic leaders, as a memento for future generations to help them to avoid similar events. Keywords Photography, journalism, social ethics, child labor, propaganda,...

The thesis points to the negative phenomenon of Holocaust denial, objective viewpoint of testimony, authenticity of photograph and background of historical consciousness in the context of postmodern situation. If we wanted to use objective testimony of photograph as a valid argument against Holocaust denial, we would have to declare the authenticity of photograph is invalid. The options of its manipulation, both content and meaning, are examined through semiotics of Peirce, mainly through trichotomy icon, index and symbol. In today's pluralistic time, the historical consciousness is proposed as a possible starting point of examination of historical sources, including photograph. Key words Photograph, authenticity, manipulation, Peirce, historical consciousness, Holocaust.

My feet are my transportation while living in the college town of Provo, Utah. When walking, I am drawn to designs found at construction sites and office workplaces, methods of labor that are executed sequentially. These designs lead me to think about laborious jobs that I have had and time performing mundane, repetitive tasks. Walking, photographing, gathering, and transporting used material to a workspace are the preliminary actions for my art practice. Creation emerges by relating material from varying environments through their inherent patterns, sizes, and shapes. I organize elements of the everyday in a new harmonious context with each other. At the core of my art practice, I present an altered way of looking at commonplace materials.

The thesis is devoted to analyzing the successful communication of some of the best Czech food bloggers on the social medium Instagram on which the topic of food is trendy. However, I noticed that many food bloggers profiles do not share only food photos, but also their personal photographs. Therefore, my thesis is also devoted to discovering which topics are between analyzed Instagram posts and on the food bloggers profiles the most common. In the communication analysis I focus on how the food bloggers communicate with their followers through texts, photos, hashtags, and how they react to the comments. I also analyze the emoticons and hashtags that they use. In the theoretical part, my thesis focuses mainly on Instagram, it's characterization, functions and methods of how to succeed in this social medium. It also focuses on different aspects of the photograph, "reading" the image, and social semiotics. The social semiotics approach is essential for my research because, on Instagram, the meaning is transmitted by not just one mode, but more modes - all of them are listed above. The empirical part uses qualitative research methods, which is based on content analysis of 3 successful food bloggers - @made_by_kristina, @cukrfree.cz, and @kitchenettehome. I analyze 12-13 most successful posts from their...
