På grund av digitaliseringens uppenbara påverkan på tidningsindustrin i kombination med brist på tidigare vetenskapliga studier kring detta ämne – söker denna studie att öka kunskapen och förståelsen för hur fenomenet digitalisering påverkat företag i veckotidningsindustrin. Studiens syfte är främst att undersöka hur företaget Aller media och dess affärsmodeller påverkats av digitaliseringen. För att ta reda på detta har inledningsvis två kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts med två chefer på Aller media. Intervjuerna har sedan kompletterats med en webbenkät som besvarades av Aller medias anställda. Resultatet från datainsamlingsmetoderna visar att digitaliseringen haft en påtaglig påverkan på Aller media med både positiva och negativa konsekvenser. Sammantaget har Aller media anpassat sig väl sedan digitaliseringen och har med anammandet av nya digitala affärsmodeller lagt en bra grund för att vara fortsatt relevanta i en alltmer digitaliserad framtid. / Due to the obvious impact of digitalisation on the magazine industry in combination with lack of previous scientific studies on the subject - this study seeks to increase the knowledge andunderstanding of how the phenomenon of digitalisation has affected companies in the magazine industry. The purpose of the study is primarily to investigate how the company Aller media and its business models have been affected by digitalisation. To investigate this, two qualitative interviews were initially conducted with two managers at Aller media. The interviews were then supplemented with a web survey that were answered by Aller medias employees. The results from the data collection methods show that digitalisation has had a significant impact on Aller media with both positive and negative consequences. In total, Aller media has adapted well since digitalization and with the adoption of new digital business models the company has laid a good basis for remaining relevant in an increasingly digitalized future.

Master of Music / Department of Music / Craig B. Parker / Igor Stravinsky and Aldous Huxley maintained a sincere and abiding friendship for nearly two decades while both men were living in Los Angeles, California. Huxley’s command of music literature and understanding of musical concepts promoted a vital exchange of ideas between the two men. By the time of their meeting in Hollywood, each man appreciated the importance of the other in his field of expertise, despite Huxley’s negative criticisms of Stravinsky’s music in the 1920s. This mutual respect led to collaborations between Stravinsky, Huxley, and the American conductor Robert Craft on a series of concert-lectures and recordings. Stravinsky esteemed his friend so highly that he was compelled to dedicate a composition that he had been writing at the time of Huxley’s death to the writer’s memory. This paper includes a chapter of biographical information on Aldous Huxley, a chapter detailing the friendship of Stravinsky and Huxley in chronological order, a chapter about Huxley’s criticisms of Stravinsky’s music, a chapter about Huxley’s concert collaborations with Stravinsky and Craft, and a chapter detailing the compositional history and techniques of Stravinsky’s Variations for Orchestra (in Memory of Aldous Huxley). The first appendix lists additional meetings between Stravinsky and Huxley, as detailed in the writings of Igor Stravinsky, Vera Stravinsky, and Robert Craft. The second appendix is a chronological list of all Huxley writings mentioning Stravinsky.

This thesis focuses on the development of an innovative location-based scheduling methodology and a computer-based model for improving earthwork operations in road construction projects. Analysis of existing planning and scheduling practices in road construction projects conducted in the course of this research concluded that planning, scheduling and resource allocation are largely dependent on subjective decisions. Also, shortcomings exist due to the distinct characteristics of earthworks, e.g. one-off projects with uncertain site conditions and soil characteristics, causing delays and cost overruns of projects. The literature review found that existing linear scheduling methods provide inaccurate location-based information about earthworks and fail to integrate different productivity rates. A survey was used to capture and analyse industrial practices and issues related to delays and cost overruns. This analysis revealed that the accurate location-based information is vital for efficient resource planning and progress monitoring. Following these findings, a theoretical framework and specification were developed to automate location-based scheduling and visualisation of information. A prototype model was developed by integrating road design data, sectional quantities, productivity rates, unit cost, site access points, and arithmetic algorithms. The algorithms underpinning the model enable the generation of time-location plans automatically as a key output of the model. Weekly progress profiles, space congestion plans, and cost S-curves are the other outputs. A cut-fill algorithm was developed to identify optimum quantities of earthwork and its associated costs. Experiments were conducted with design data provided by a road construction company to demonstrate the model‟s functionality. Sensitivity analysis was used to identify the critical factors relating to earthwork scheduling. It was found that the model is capable of generating time-location plans, considering the critical factors and location aspects. Finally, the model was evaluated using a case study and validated by road construction professionals using an indirect comparison method. It was concluded that the model is a valuable tool for producing location-based scheduling, optimising resource planning and assisting in the communication of scheduling information from the location viewpoints in the earthwork projects.

O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar as reportagens de capa sobre saúde, das revistas Veja e Época, publicadas entre maio de 1998 mês de lançamento de Época e dezembro de 2006. Nossa análise está baseada nos conceitos-chave da Análise do Discurso, tais como formulados por Foucault e Bakhtin e posteriormente ampliados por diversos estudiosos da linguagem. Queremos identificar e discutir os modos de subjetivação implicados no quadriculamento discursivo verbal e não verbal sobre saúde física e mental, com desdobramentos no comportamento dos indivíduos; e entender como os diferentes enunciadores se manifestam e se articulam através de suas marcas textuais, que se diferenciam e se agrupam nesse universo midiático. Numa palavra, como são inscritas ou ocultadas textualmente as palavras de ordem enquanto dispositivos disciplinares no atual estágio de desenvolvimento capitalista da sociedade de consumo. A partir do recorte efetuado, separamos as matérias por grupos temáticos nove temas ao todo e elegemos duas matérias por ano uma de Veja e uma de Época para análise , totalizando 18 reportagens analisadas, abrangendo nove anos de publicação. Evidentemente os temas se entrecruzam e a divisão se fez necessária apenas em função da metodologia aplicada. Constatamos, porém, que determinadas segmentações do discurso não são tão aleatórias quanto parecem ser à primeira vista. Elas refletem posições discursivas, periodicamente reiteradas, visando manter a sociedade de consumo em funcionamento, através de contratos comunicativos entre leitor e sociedade, cujos operadores são a vitimização do sujeito e a constante ameaça à sua integridade física e moral, caso sejam descuidadas as regras disciplinares estabelecidas por esse pacto social simbólico. / The purpose of this paper is to analize the cover articles about health published in the Veja and Época magazines between May, 1998 month of the Época magazine launching and December, 2006. Our analysis is based on the key concepts of the Approach Analysis as formulated by Foucault and Bakhtin and later on enhanced by several scholars of the language. We want to identify and discuss the ways of subjectivation implied in the verbal and non-verbal world view (Weltanschauung) about the mental and physical health with breakdowns regarding the individuals behaviour. In addition, we want to understand how different enunciators reveal and articulate themselves through their textual brands? which differentiate and group themselves in this mediate universe. In a word, how the words of order are textually inscribed or hidden as disciplinary devices in the consumption societys current capitalist development stage. From this sectioning, we separate the subject matters by thematic groups and elected two subject matters per year , namely one from Veja and another one from Época to examplify the analysis, thus totalizing 18 articles, in nine year. The themes are clearly connected and the division was necessary due to the methodology applied. However, we came to the conclusion that certain segmentations of the approach are not as random as they seem at a first glance. They reflect discursive points of view, reiterated by the media so as to keep the consumption society functioning through communication agreements between the reader and the society, whose operators are the subject´s victimization and the constant threat to his/her physical and mental integrity, in the event of not following the disciplinary rules established by this symbolic social pact.

Esta pesquisa visa a apresentar as construções discursivas sobre crimes de parricídio em reportagens das revistas semanais brasileiras Veja, IstoÉ e Época, num período compreendido entre os anos de 1970 e 2002, totalizando 10 matérias analisadas. A partir dos referenciais teóricos propostos pelas Ciências da Linguagem, Teorias da Enunciação e Análise do Discurso de orientação francesa, buscou-se depreender como as referidas reportagens viabilizam determinados efeitos de sentido, respaldadas por uma vontade de verdade, na terminologia de Michel Foucault. Intentou-se, ainda, verificar de que forma a instância enunciadora mobiliza estratégias para construir sua identidade, em vista do princípio constitutivamente heterogêneo do discurso. As análises efetuadas denotam que, a despeito de as matérias terem sido veiculadas em momentos diversos, ao longo de 32 anos, têm em comum o fato de identificarem a mencionada predisposição de verdade ao lugar do pai, enquanto metáfora das injunções de que emana a própria organização da sociedade. / This research aims to present the discursive constructions on crimes of parricide as they appeared in articles published by the Brazilians weekly magazines Veja, IstoÉ and Época, between 1970 e 2002. In all, 10 articles were analysed. Taking into account the theoretical background of the Sciences of Language, Enunciation and French Discourse Analysis, we attempted to infer how these articles undertake certain sense effects based on a will to truth, as referred by Michel Foucault. The analysis is also intended to examine the enunciative instances strategies in building its identity, in consideration of discourse heterogeneous characteristic. Despite of being published in different moments along 32 years, the articles are similar in basing that will to truth on the name of the father, as a metaphorical construction of the injunctions which organizes the society itself.

A eficácia de uma suplementação semanal com sulfato ferroso foi avaliada em uma coorte controlada de 1015 crianças de 4 a 59 meses de idade, divididos em dois grupos: Controle e Intervenção. No Grupo Controle (n=583 crianças), após avaliação da hemoglobina inicial, a mãe era informada do resultado e, no caso de diagnóstico de anemia a mãe era orientada a procurar serviço de saúde para tratar. As crianças do Grupo Intervenção (n=432 crianças) receberam solução com sulfato ferroso, acompanhado de colher-medida para ingestão de uma quantidade de solução com aproximadamente 4 mg/kg/semana, suficiente para 6 meses de suplementação. Após período aproximado de 7 meses, a variação da concentração média de hemoglobina (delta) do Grupo Intervenção era significativamente maior do que do Grupo Controle. O risco do delta variar foi proporcional ao grau de adesão à suplementação, exceto para adesão \"nula\". A concentração média de hemoglobina do Grupo Intervenção foi significativamente maior do que no Grupo Controle após os 30 meses de idade. Além disso, a incidência de anemia a partir dos 14 meses de idade foi significativamente menor entre as crianças que receberam intervenção, mas a incidência de superação de um quadro anêmico independeu da intervenção proposta. A suplementação semanal foi eficaz para prevenir, evitando o declínio e estabilizando os níveis de hemoglobina, mas não esteve associada com elevação desse indicador. A adesão plena e parcial somou 62% das crianças e foi semelhante entre os anêmicos e eutróficos. A ocorrência de efeitos benéficos foi quase o dobro (58%) do observado de efeitos deletérios (31%). Esses efeitos secundários, no entanto, podem ter sido superestimados pela forma de indagação. Além disso, os efeitos negativos, quando observados, não estavam relacionados à diminuição da adesão. A intervenção proposta apresenta-se, portanto, como uma alternativa viável no cumprimento do compromisso do Brasil junto às Nações Unidas com vista ao controle da anemia ferropriva. / The efficacy of a weekly ferrous sulfate supplementation was evaluated in a controlled cohort of 1015 children 4 to59 months of age assigned into two groups - Control and Intervention. At Control Group (n = 583), after an initial hemoglobin evaluation, the mother was informed of the result and, if the child was anemic, instructed to seek a health service for treatment. The children in the Intervention Group (n = 432) were given a ferrous sulfate solution, together with a measure-spoon, for the ingestion of an amount of solution equal to approximately 4 mg Fe / kg / week, enough for a 6-month treatment. After approximately 7 months, the mean hemoglobin variation (delta) of the Intervention Group was higher than the Control. The risk of delta variation was proportional to the degree of treatment compliance, except for the \"null\" compliance. The mean hemoglobin concentration of the Intervention Group, after 30 months of age, was significantly higher than the Control. In addition, the anemia incidence after 14 months of age was significantly lower among the children who received intervention, but the reversion of a inicial anemia status did not depend on the proposed treatment. The weekly supplementation was efficient as prevention, avoiding the hemoglobin declining and stabilizing it levels, but was not associated with the rise of this indicator. The \"broad\" or \"partial\" compliance was observed in 62% of the children, and was similar among anemics and eutrophics. The occurrence of beneficial effects was almost double (58%) the deleterious observed (31%). The type of questioning, however, may have overestimated these secondary effects. Even so the negative effects, when observed, were not related to any reduction of compliance. The proposed intervention seems to be, in fact, as a viable alternative in accomplishment with Brazil commitment vis-à-vis the United Nations to control iron deficiency anemia.

The research corpus consists ofjournalistic texts from the magazines Vejaand Carta Capitalabout privatizations in Brazil for the periods 1996-1998 and 2005-2007. The specific objectives are to describe the concept ofprivatization in each one of the vehicles; identifysimilarities and differences present in the framework given the topic privatization in vehicles; identify whether the framework performed by each vehicle is pro-privatization, anti-privatization or offers plural perspective; identifying the opinion expressed by the vehicles on the role of the state in the economy; realize how vehicles relate the theme privatization to the evaluation of governments and elections; and identify how each vehicle evaluates theprivatization process in Brazil. These issues have beenstudied to understand how vehicles that excel by news interpretative news weekly magazines lead the race for hegemonyat different times of the political situation. In this sense, the research methodology isbe based in the Frame Analysis, as a tool using content analysis, quantitative and qualitative methods. It has been outlined the following hypotheses: there are probably coincidences in some points of frameworks, because of the fact that the two vehicles are entered in the same society, but the trend is that there are differences consistent with each editorial line; it is believed that in the two cases the magazines act as social actors who advocate a position (pro or anti privatization), not offering a plural debate, and the latter is that Vejamagazine presents a superficial interpretation, while Carta Capitaloffer a more complex analysis (although not necessarily plural.).The theoretical basis is given by the theories of the Frame Analysis (Goffman, Entman, Mauro Porto), the Agenda-Setting Theory (Maxwell McCombs, Donald Shaw and Walter Lippmann) and constructionist theories of communication (from Stuart Hall) / Estapesquisa tem como objetivo investigar se há e como se constrói a pluralidade na cobertura jornalística em duas revistas semanais Vejae Carta Capital. O corpusda pesquisa é constituído portextos jornalísticos das revistas Veja e Carta Capitalcom temas ligadosàs privatizações no Brasil dos períodos de 1996 a 1998 e de 2005 a 2007. Os objetivos específicos são: explicitaro conceito de privatização presente em cada um dos veículos; identificar coincidências e diferenças presentes no enquadramento dado ao tema privatizações nos veículos; identificar se o enquadramento realizado por cada veículo é pró-privatizações, antiprivatizaçõesou se oferece perspectiva plural; identificar a opinião expressa pelos veículos a respeito do papel do Estado na economia; perceber como os veículos relacionam o tema privatizações à avaliação de governos e às eleições; e identificar como cada veículo avalia o processo de privatizações no Brasil. Essas questões serão estudadas para entender a forma pela qualveículos que primam pelas notícias de cunho interpretativo revistas semanais conduzem a disputa por hegemonia em momentos distintos da conjuntura política. Nesse sentido, a metodologia tembase na Análise de Enquadramento, utilizando como ferramenta a análise de conteúdo, métodos quantitativo e qualitativo. Foram delineadas as seguintes hipóteses: é provável que haja coincidências em alguns pontos dos enquadramentos, devido ao fato dos dois veículos estarem inseridos na mesma sociedade; mas a tendência é que haja diferenças,condizentescom a distinçãode linhaseditoriais;nos dois casos as revistas atuam como atores sociais que advogam uma posição (pró ou antiprivatizações), não oferecendo um debate plural; e a última hipótese é que a revista Vejaapresenta uma interpretação mais superficial, ao passo que Carta Capitaldeve oferecer uma análise mais complexa (ainda que não necessariamente plural).

Darbe nagrinėjami asmens tapatumo ir tapatumo su šeima jausmo formavimosi ypatumai. Asmens tapatumas yra reikšmingas, nes jis nusako žmogaus vientisumą, įprasmina jo gyvenimo tikslus, padeda suvokti savo vietą pasaulyje, užtikrina buvimą pačiu savimi. Tyrimo tikslas - įvertinti vaikų namuose, savaitinėse grupėse ir pilnose šeimose augančių vaikų (5-7 m.) tapatumo su šeima jausmo formavimosi ypatumus. Atlikus tyrimą paaiškėjo, kad tapatumo su šeima jausmo formavimąsi lemia vaiko poreikis turėti tėvus. Nustatyta, kad tapatumo su šeima jausmui formuotis reikalingas emocinių ryšių suvokimas, kad „turiu kažką, ką galiu pavadinti šeima“. / The Paper analyses peculiarities of development personal identity and a feeling of person’s familial identity. Person’s identity has a great significance, because it describes personal integrity, gives sense to purposes in life, helps to perceive a place in the World and ensures your being yourself. The purpose of this research is to estimate peculiarities of development of a feeling of familial identity among children (5-7 years), growing in children’s homes, weekly groups and full families.The analysis has shown, that development of a feeling of familial identity is determined by a need of a child – to have parents. It was found, that in order to develop a feeling of familial identity, a perception of emotional relations, that “you have something you can call a family” is needed.
