"Most stations probably keep various materials in order that they may be used again. Because there is a definite saving of time if materials are stored systematically and are readily available, the question arises as to how the various educational television stations in the country maintain a record of what they have produced and obtained in the way of audio-visual materials which will probably be useful in later programming. The purpose of this study, therefore, is to: (1) determine what types of audio-visual materials educational television stations store; (2) learn of the physical arrangement of the storage of these materials; and (3) ascertain if these materials are indexed, and, if so, in what manner. In order to answer these questions, it was decided that a survey of the methods of storage of audio-visual materials in educational stations at least five years old would be attempted"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "June, 1961." / "Submitted to the Graduate School of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Ruth H.

Control oriented local area networks (COLANs) are being installed in factories at an increasing rate. Traditionally, process control has operated with a master scheduler (computer) monitoring a number of points in a control grid. As the complexity of today's process control needs grow, the need to process information locally increases. Microcontrollers, networked with a master scheduler, can collect data from a locus of points and make decisions as to whether the master needs to be notified or not. By processing data locally, memory and execution time are freed up for the master scheduler. Task implementation becomes modular in nature, resulting in process control software that is easier to write, and maintain. This structure is the basis for COLAN V, a low cost, real-time, distributed control network developed at Oregon State University. COLAN V was used as the foundation for the creation of a multi-media presentation system. Six microcontrollers were networked together to remotely control the operation of projectors, projector screens, and lighting. Based on the application the master scheduler was replaced by a tape player. This allowed the storage of the audio part of the presentation on one track of the tape and the storage of the synchronized control signals on the other track. This distributed control network supplied a low cost solution to a need that was not addressed by the commercial market at any price. / Graduation date: 1992

OMEN (On-demand Metadata Extraction Network) addresses a fundamental problem in Music Information Retrieval: the lack of universal access to a large dataset containing significant amounts of copyrighted music. This thesis proposes a solution to this problem that is accomplished by utilizing the large collections of digitized music available at many libraries. Using OMEN, libraries will be able to perform on-demand feature extraction on site, returning feature values to researchers instead of providing direct access to the recordings themselves. This avoids copyright difficulties, since the underlying music never leaves the library that owns it. The analysis is performed using grid-style computation on library machines that are otherwise under-used (e.g., devoted to patron web and catalogue use).

Portrayals of sexual and/or domestic violence committed by men against women appear in the television schedules and in movie theatres on almost a daily basis. There is a long established tradition of concern about how depictions of violence in the audiovisual media can impact on audiences. However, minimal consideration has been given to what kind of discursive 'messages' such portrayals might contain and how audiences engage with these. This research explores to what extent audio-visual portrayals of violence against women might offer certain ways of reading and understanding that violence, and how women audiences interpret these. It investigates this through both textual and reception analyses, with the framework through which reception is examined being directly related to the textual material itself. The study assesses to what degree audio-visual texts are capable of structuring audience interpretation, and whether there is any direct relationship between this and how women viewers actually read the texts. Four audio-visual products are examined: the Hollywood film The Accused; an episode of the soap opera EastEnders; the television play Closing Ranks; and an edition of Crimewatch UK. Ninety one women, formed into 14 focus groups, participated in the reception research. Half of these women had experienced violence of a domestic and/or sexual nature, whilst the other half had no experience of such violence. Groups further varied in terms of nationality (Scottish and English), class (working-class and middle-class) and ethnic background (white, Asian and Afro-Caribbean). The research demonstrates that neither audio-visual texts nor their reception can be considered outwith an appreciation of how social and cultural factors influence both. The media are involved in the circulation of cultural meanings about acts of violence against women and in mediating this cannot help but draw on existing discourses which surround such violence. As audiences, women also draw on their socialised conceptions of such violence, though how they engage with and read its representation is affected by their social and cultural positionings and their own lived experiences.

Orientador: José Euzébio de Oliveira Souza Aragão / Banca: João Pedro Pezato / Banca: Claudia Beatriz de Castro Nascimento Ometto / Resumo: O presente trabalho de dissertação de mestrado consistiu em uma pesquisa de campo realizada em uma Escola Municipal de Piracicaba-SP, em que atuava como professora substituta, do 1º ano, em uma sala com 22 crianças, com idade entre 6 e 7 anos, do Ensino Fundamental I. Esta pesquisa apresenta oito oficinas de desenhos animados inspirados nos episódios do Sítio do Pica Pau Amarelo de Monteiro Lobato. Durante esse processo entendeu-se a necessidade de apresentar novos olhares para as práticas pedagógicas, que foram construídas sem camisa de força, a partir das tendências progressistas, que dispuseram mais de quinze práticas pedagógicas calcadas no diálogo, de acordo com a prática educativa Libertária de Paulo Freire (1977). A partir do encontro do cinema na escola foram levantadas as seguintes questões de pesquisa: 1. Que práticas pedagógicas podem ser fomentadas a partir do cinema na escola com crianças do ensino fundamental, ciclo I? 2. A experiência do cinema na escola é capaz de construir uma educação como prática educativa libertária (liberdade em construção) a partir do pensamento de Paulo Freire? 3. Que produções de conhecimentos por parte dos alunos, a partir do cinema, atestam a prática da liberdade e autonomia? Esses problemas desencadearam nossos objetivos, que são: a. Compreender que tipo de práticas pedagógicas podem ser construídas a partir da experiência do cinema e de que maneira podem promover/ criar/afetar/ transmitir/ transformar os alunos e estimular a produ...

This research presents seven short film workshops that aims to work with children in cartoon films, based on and inspired by the episodes of the Pica Pau Amarelo site in Monteiro Lobato, with the aim of think of the following research questions: 1. What pedagogical practices can be promoted from the cinema in the school with elementary school children, cycle I? 2. Is the experience of cinema in school capable of constructing an education as an educational practice of the libertarian (freedom under construction) from the thought of Paulo Freire ? 3. What productions of knowledge on the part of the students, from the cinema, attest to the practice of freedom and autonomy? These problems have triggered our goals, which are: a. Understand what kind of pedagogical practices can be built from the experience of cinema and how they can promote / create / affect / transmit / transform students and stimulate the production of knowledge; B. Check how the relationship of children with films leads to a learning that allows a world reading in which children's previous experiences add to the experience of the cinema. We believe that cinema within schools offers opportunities for learning, otherness and art, so we held the film workshops to promote new possibilities and identified the peculiarities in the way children received the experience of cinema and what provoked / captivated Children after each workshop. As cinema is something essential in the construction of pedagogical practices, cinema is highlighted as a way of playing, emphasized by Fresquet (2013) and the identification of otherness, through the perspective of Alain Bergala (2008).

Orientador: Marcelo Magalhães Bulhões / Banca: José Carlos Marques / Banca: Laura Louguercio Cánepa / Resumo: Este projeto pretende enfocar a problemática que permeia a adaptação de obras literárias para os meios audiovisuais, mais em especifico, o cinema brasileiro, por meio da análise da obra Elite da Tropa, de Luiz Eduardo Soares, André Batista e Rodrigo Pimentel, e sua transposição cinematográfica Tropa de Elite, filme dirigido por José Padilha. Desta forma, temos o interesse de, no cerne do processo da tradução/adaptação, investigar relações discursivas entre o factual e o ficcional que marcam tanto o livro quanto o filme, analisando a presença de traços de reportagem jornalística na obra literária e de cinema documental na obra Fílmica. / Abstract: This project intends to focus the problematic that permeates the adaptation of literary works to the audiovisual media, more specifically, the brazilian cinema, through the analysis of book Elite‟s Troop, from Luiz Eduardo Soares, André Batista and Rodrigo Pimentel and your cinematographic transition Elite Squad, directed by José Padilha. In this way, we have the interest of investigating the discursive relations between the factual and the fictional that mark both the book and the film, analyzing the presence of traits of journalistic reporting in the literary work and documentary film in the film work. / Mestre

Uma delas é o vídeo panorâmico para dispositivos móveis, e as mudanças trazidas por ele serão o foco deste estudo, que pretende entender de que maneira é possível construir narrativas usando esse suporte, uma vez que suas configurações inserem novas lógicas à montagem audiovisual. Sob a perspectiva da semiótica discursiva, serão averiguados, nas obras produzidas pelo Google - chamadas de Spotlight Stories -, quais aspectos da linguagem são reformulados nessa nova técnica de criação de vídeo e o que é alterado no processo comunicativo, com o objetivo de apontar caminhos para a construção e a compreensão de narrativas em vídeo panorâmico / New techniques to capture and produce motion picutres have expanded the creative possibilities in audiovisual, and content producers are facing new challanges in order to tell stories with these new features. One of them is panoramic video for mobile devices, which brought changes that will be focused on this study, that aims to understand how it is possible to construct narratives using this support, since its settings introduce new logic to audiovisual montage. From the perspective of discursive semiotics, the study investigates, in the works produced by Google - called Spotlight Stories - which aspects of language are reformulated in this new technique of vídeo creation and what changes in the communicative process, with the aim to proposing ways to construct and understand panoramic video narratives

Essas transformações no modelo de negócio analógico, que traz a publicidade nos intervalos comerciais e a pluralidade de novos caminhos que a televisão digital possibilita, levam-nos a pensar sobre as direções que a publicidade irá tomar, isso porque a partir do momento que o telespectador tem a possibilidade de escapar do comercial, a publicidade e a propaganda terão de pensar uma nova forma de chamar a atenção, atrair e conquistar o telespectador, porque o atual modelo de negócio não comportará as novas possibilidades da televisão digital, buscando nova forma de patrocínio e financiamento. A fim de explorar a relação, publicidade e público no novo modelo de nogócio, encontramos o advertainment que, segundo palavras de Walter Longo, promove a sinergia entre emoção e informação, integração de marcas e produtos no ambiente editorial dos veículos de comunicação (LONGO). Isso se faz necessário, porque com a implantação do Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão Digital Terrestre (SBTVD-T), os telespectadores serão participativos, definindo e assistindo ao que desejam, na hora e local em que desejam com a nova plataforma. É nessa conjuntura que surgem as preocupações das agências de publicidade e propaganda, ao perceberem que o telespectador pode simplesmente não assistir a um determinado comercial, ou mesmo ignorar todo o bloco de publicidade / The transformations are occurring due to advance of Information and Communication Technologies and providing breaking paradigms, modifying the way we watch television, and this therefore affects the business model of the media which will be changed, because the TV grid concept won't be a priority, so the advertising spaces lose their main reason, and in order to keep adversitisers as sponsors, the TV manages are bringing the commercials into the shows. These changes in the analog business model that brings advertisement in commercial breaks and a plurality of new ways that digital television provides, leads us to think about the directions that the advertisements will take. From that moment the viewer has the possibility to scape from the commercial, advertising and propaganda have to think a new way to draw attention, attract and capture the viewer, because the current business model does not contain the new possibilities of digital television, trying new form of sponsorship and funding. In order to explore the relation between advertisement and public in a new business model, we found the advertainment which in Walter Longo's words the advertainment promotes synergy between emotion and information, brands and products integration in the editorial environment of the media. (LONGO). It is necessary because with the implementation of the Brazilian System of Digital Terrestrial Television (SBTVD-T) viewers will be participatory, setting and watching what, when and where they want with the new plataform. It appears at this conjuncture the concerns about advertisers and advertising, when it is realized that the viewer cannot simply watch a particular commercial, or even ignore the entire commercial break
