O objetivo é investigar como a construção social do papel da mulher no discurso religioso neopentecostal é representada no programa Show da Fé, bem como averiguar os caminhos que nos levam à discussão do fenômeno religioso numa perspectiva de gênero. Elegemos como objeto de análise o quadro Abrindo o Coração, que é apresentado no programa Show da Fé, pertencente à Igreja Internacional da Graça de Deus, único programa religioso veiculado também em emissoras de TV abertas em horário nobre. A base para este estudo são as ferramentas teórico-metodológicas da análise de discurso e a reconstituição da trajetória dos estudos feministas associados aos estudos da mídia, via revisões bibliográficas e conceitos relacionados à mídia religiosa. Os resultados demonstram que a religião tem colaborado com a reprodução da visão patriarcal dominante e com a representação social da mulher a partir desta compreensão e suas expressões midiáticas baseiam-se nas referências da aceitação/resignação, da submissão, da renúncia/concessão e da responsabilidade/culpabilidade que caracterizam o lugar das mulheres no imaginário religioso, mais fortemente no pentecostalismo.

Orientador: Prof. Dr. Ricardo Suyama / Dissertação (mestrado) - Universidade Federal do ABC, Programa de Pós-Graduação em Engenharia da Informação, 2015. / No processo de digitalização de documentos impressos ou manuscritos que apresentam informação em ambos os lados da folha (frente e verso), é comum encontrar uma distorção na imagem digitalizada conhecida como Efeito Show-Through, na qual a imagem digitalizada de um dos lados do documento sofre a interferência da imagem presente no outro lado da folha. O problema de remoção dessa interferência pode ser visto como uma instância do problema geral de Separação Cega de Fontes (BSS ¿ Blind Source Separation), para o qual diferentes técnicas foram propostas, baseadas nas características das fontes e no processo de mistura. No presente trabalho avaliamos diferentes técnicas para a solução do problema de Show-through que utilizam os conceitos relacionados ao problema de Separação Cega de Fontes, buscando identificar vantagens e desvantagens dos diferentes métodos. As técnicas avaliadas, baseadas em três diferentes abordagens em termos do critério de adaptação dos parâmetros, foram testadas com diferentes tipos de documentos (textos antigos ,manuscritos,jornal,etc) digitalizados, considerando misturas sintéticas e misturas reais, obtidas com a digitalização de documentos impressos. Os resultados obtidos revelam pontos fortes e fracos das técnicas avaliadas, e poderão servir como referência para o desenvolvimento de novas técnicas para a correção do efeito Show-Through. / In the digitalization process of printed documents or manuscripts that contain information on both through sides of the paper (front and back), it is common to observe the so-called Show-Thorugh Effet, in which the image in the back of the document interferes in the digitized image of the front side. Removing this kind of interference can be seen as an instance of the general Blind Source Separation Problem (BSS), for which several different techniques have been proposed in the literature, considering specific characteristics of the sources and of the mixing process. The objective of the present work is to evaluate different methods for the mitigation of the Show-Through effect, based in concepts related to the BSS problem. The evaluated tools, based on three different approaches for parameter adaptation, were tested with different kinds of documents (old texts, manuscripts, newspaper), considering synthetic and real mixtures. The results reveal strong and weak points of the studied methods, which can serve as a valuable reference in the development of new techniques for the Show-Through effect mitigation.

This graduation work is concerned with newly developing media formats, focusing on the reality show format. Introduction chapters theoretically describe theses from selected philosophical works of Vilém Flusser, which are mainly thoughts included in his interpretation of technical pictures philosophy. Further chapters follow this topic and try to link it with the reality show format. This format is defined and supplemented with specific examples. The graduation work is then concluded with chapters that introduce the reality show from a social-psychological point of view. These chapters are based on examples of psychological experiments, the results of which are applicable to certain situations which could occur within a reality show. The conclusion of the graduation work comprises the overall assessment of the reality show format in connection with the philosophy of technical pictures and outcomes of psychological experiments.

En linguistique, la politesse vise la préservation de l’harmonie interactionnelle. Que se passe-t-il dans les situations où le dissensus se trouve au cœur des échanges, tel le cas de nos talk-shows ? Le rôle de l’impolitesse, de la violence et leurs rapports à la politesse dans On n’est pas couché et Tout le monde en parle ont constitué le point de départ de notre recherche. Le présent travail est une analyse du système de la politesse confronté aux défis des émissions mentionnées, défis qui nous ont amenée à explorer la dichotomie politesse-impolitesse et qui nous ont conduite à articuler ces dernières avec les notions d’adéquation au contrat de communication, de violence et de mise en scène.Afin de rendre compte du fonctionnement de ces phénomènes, deux démarches nous ont semblé nécessaires. Premièrement, abandonner la conception selon laquelle la politesse désignait les comportements jugés adéquats et l’impolitesse était conçue comme sa « contrepartie » négative. Deuxièmement, tenter de « re-conceptualisation » la notion d’adéquation aux normes tout en allant au-delà des classements rigides et des formules conventionnelles polies ou impolies.Partant de ces réflexions, nous nous sommes fixé une double ambition : dans le premier volet, nous avons voulu aménager le cadre théorique de la politesse ─ qui, appliqué à notre corpus, présentait certaines insuffisances ─, et formuler des critères pour l’évaluation des notions présentées. Ainsi, nous avons proposé, avec prudence et modestie, un cadre et des outils théoriques adaptés à nos talk-shows. Dans le second volet, nous avons analysé ─ manipulant les outils présentés et nous appuyant sur ce nouveau cadre ─, le fonctionnement du système de la politesse ainsi que les mises en scène de la parole polie, impolie et violente. / In linguistics, politeness, considered omnipresent, aims at preserving the interactional and interpersonal harmony. But what happens when conflict is at the very heart of verbal interactions, as is the case with our talk-shows? The role of impoliteness and violence, as well as their relationship with politeness in “On n’est pas couché” and “Tout le monde en parle” are to be considered as the starting point for our research. Thus, the present work is an analysis of the notion of politeness confronted to the “challenges” raised by the televised shows mentioned above, an analysis in which we explored the politeness/impoliteness dichotomy that we articulated, thereafter, with the notions of appropriateness (in respect to the communication contract), violence and representation or “mise-en-scène”.In order to give a proper account of the functioning of these phenomena, firstly, we gave up the general view according to which politeness was defined as adequate behaviour while impoliteness was seen as its negative counterpart. Secondly, we tried to reconceptualise the notion of appropriateness going beyond rigid classifications or conventionalised polite and impolite formula.Given these considerations, we established a twofold objective. On the one hand, we tried to adjust the theoretical framework of politeness that, applied to our data, presented certain deficiencies, and to come up with some evaluation criteria for the analysed notions; consequently, we modestly and prudently proposed a framework and several theoretical “tools” adapted to our talk-shows. On the other hand, we analysed ─ using the presented tools and framework ─, the mechanisms of politeness and impoliteness as well as the divers “mises-en-scène” of polite, impolite and violent speech.

This diploma thesis deals with the media representation of celebrities, as it is designed within the framework of the adopted American television format of the late-night talk show. In the first part of the thesis, attention is focused on problems of understanding of the phenomenon of celebrities by various authors, as well as on the development of the late-night talk show itself and its characteristic features. The theoretical starting point is the theory of representation (Hall), three levels of representation (Trampota) and social construction of reality (Berger, Luckmann). The method of critical discourse analysis is chosen for the research and the four principles for the analysis are described: commoditization, infotainment, personalization, congeniality. The practical part presents an analysis of the typical representation of celebrities due to the principles mentioned above in selected talk shows which were broadcast in English and Czech languages in 2015-2016, namely American The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and Czech Jan Kraus Show. Keywords: Celebrity, Late-night Talk Show, Media Representation, Personalization, Congeniality, Infotainment, Commoditization

Actualmente, el contexto en que nos encontramos de pandemia, ha ocasionado la prohibición de shows artísticos presenciales, y frente a este problema que ha impedido el trabajo de los artistas peruanos y que las personas no puedan tener actividades sociales o recreativas que son necesarias para la vida; es por ello que el presente trabajo de investigación tiene como finalidad desarrollar una App sobre shows virtuales de eventos sociales y privados. Para poder analizar si este proyecto resultara rentable se han utilizado diferentes indicadores y herramientas. En primer lugar, se realiza el análisis sobre la idea de negocio, el Business Model Canvas de la empresa y sus elementos, también se realizaron las validaciones del modelo de negocio, donde se realizaron entrevistas a posibles clientes potenciales y artistas. En segundo lugar, se realizó el estudio del tamaño de mercado y se establecieron hipótesis para comprobar el proyecto, donde se incurrieron a entrevistas del prototipo de “Artistapp” para poder obtener resultados más concretos. En tercer lugar, se realizaron los planes del modelo de negocio, el plan de operaciones, plan de recursos humanos, plan de marketing y plan financiero y de financiamiento. / Currently, the context in which we find ourselves with a pandemic has caused the prohibition of face-to-face artistic shows, and in the face of this problem that has impeded the work of Peruvian artists and that people cannot have social or recreational activities, which are necessary for lifetime; The purpose of this research work is to develop an App about virtual shows of social and private events. In order to analyze if this project was profitable, different indicators and tools have been used. First, the analysis of the business idea, the Business Model Canvas of the company and its elements is carried out, and the business model validations were also carried out where interviews with potential potential clients and artists were conducted. Second, a study of the market size was carried out and hypotheses were established to verify the project, where interviews of the “Artistapp” prototype were carried out in order to obtain more concrete results. Third, the business model plans, the operations plan, the human resources plan, the marketing plan, and the financial and financing plan were carried out. / Trabajo de investigación

Den här rapporten beskriver och behandlar resultatet av ett kandidatarbete som utfördes i kursen TDDD96:Kandidatprojekt i programvaruutveckling som ges vid Linköpings universitet. Namnet på projektet som har utförts är Drone Light Display och det beställdes av RISE Research Institutes of Sweden AB. Den division av RISE som har lokaler på Linköpings universitet är inriktade på drönarforskning. Uppdraget blev därför att skapa en algoritm för att detektera och undvika kollision mellan drönare samt implementera ett omkringliggande system för att generera ljusshower med hjälp av drönare som flyger i formation. Projektet utfördes av sju tredjeårsstudenter som studerar till Civilingenjör i data- respektive mjukvaruteknik vid Linköpings universitet. Det resulterade i två användargränssnitt, ett för hantering av ljusshower och ett för statuskontroll av drönare, två servrar och en antikollisionsmodul. Antikollisionsmodulen körs som en separat process på varje drönare och är kompatibel med RISE:s egna styrsystem, Drone Safety Service. De båda servrarna tar emot en rad information från drönarna och sammanställer och skickar sedan ut denna till alla drönare och antikollisionsmodulen. På så sätt får antikollisionsmodulen tillgång till den information som behövs för att kunna ta informerade beslut så att drönarna kan undvika kollisioner. Avslutningsvis innehåller rapporten individuella bidrag från varje projektmedlem inom diverse ämnen som är kopplade till mjukvaruutveckling eller till projektet i allmänhet.

Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Masters Degree in Technology: Fashion Design, Durban University of Technology, 2012. / The purpose of this study was to explore the possibility of creating shop window displays focussing on a South African identity in the Durban region. The impetus for the study stemmed from the design of the Constitutional Court which features elements of South African culture. This study challenges the contemporary notion of presenting window displays using primarily Western influences and proposes the use of fashion imagery and cultural identity currently dominating South Africa. The study argues against corporate fashion stereotypes and champions a representation of an eclectic multi-cultural South African society. In this respect key theories of identity, culture, and design were explored. A qualitative methodology was conducted utilising interview and observation approaches to obtain data. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with twelve local professionals specialising in the fields of art, design, fashion and architecture to obtain their expert opinions. The data was analysed by clustering information into themes to establish the findings. Interview findings revealed that shop window displays should accommodate local imagery appropriate to the South African context. Observing two local production houses, namely Hirt & Carter and Barrows in Durban provided insights for a backdrop creation for the practical component of the study. The practical comprised of producing retail shop installations and a visual catalogue representing findings drawn from the study. The catalogue was used to illustrate the results of investigating a national image and identity that could be intrinsic to window display creation in South African fashion retail shop fronts. / National Research Foundation

The aim of this thesis was to examine how newspaper journalism represented the celebrity Anna Anka. Which roles and qualities did the media ascribe Anna Anka and in what way did the media frame her as a woman. We examined texts and photographs from two Swedish newspapers, Aftonbladet and Dagens Nyheter, 16 texts were analysed. The method we used were discourse analysis with focus on relations, identities and representation. The result showed that Anna Anka was represented in an essentially equal way in both newspapers. The image of Anna Anka seems to be multifaceted. In the texts Anna Anka becomes a symbol for conflicts that emerge in discourses regarding gender, celebrity and Swedish values. As a woman she is both portrayed as controversial and appearance-fixated. As a wife she is traditional, a woman who takes care of house and family and lets her husband be the provider. On the other hand she is described as a woman who does not follow the traditional norm, she is independent and has a possibility to support herself. As a celebrity, Anna Anka is framed as fairly new in the public appearance. But in some texts the newspapers define her as a woman who does not deserve to be the celebrity she is. Anna Anka is well aware of how the celebrity culture works, what the media finds interesting. As a Swede Anna Anka is framed as a person who no longer quite belongs in Sweden, and therefore is allowed to criticize Sweden and the Swedish values.
