Estudo de caso exploratório que se baseia no Nudi Núcleo de Desenvolvimento de Relações Institucionais e de Inovação e visa identificar os estímulos à inovação nas pesquisas tecnológicas no âmbito das necessidades informacionais dos professores da Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo e as mudanças sucedidas, produzidas pela publicação dos boletins On-line, oriundo das ciências exatas engenharias. Foram analisados os conteúdos de onze boletins nacionais e internacionais e investigadas quais as fontes de informação utilizadas pelos pesquisadores para participação em editais de fomento à pesquisa. A metodologia etnográfica utilizada comportou o envolvimento do pesquisador no ambiente explorado como observador participante pelo foco do grupo pesquisado. As informações de campo foram coletadas por meio de entrevistas roteirizadas, realizadas com 48 pesquisadores entre os 473 membros da Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo. Os dados coletados revelaram uma série de sugestões oferecidas pelos entrevistados durante a pesquisa, que abrem possibilidades de pesquisas futuras e o aprofundamento nas questões que surgem deste estudo de caso no sentido de aperfeiçoar as redes de conhecimento por meio da utilização das tecnologias da informação e comunicação no incentivo à inovação. / An exploratory case study is presented, based on Nudi Núcleo de Desenvolvimento de Relações Intitucionais e de Inovação viewing to identify the stimulus to innovation in technologic researches in sphere of action of professors information necessities from Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo and the succeeded changes, produced by publication of Bulletins online, derived of science exact engineerings. Was analyzed eleven bulletins content national and international and investigated the online information sources used by researches. The ethnographic methodology utilized make the investigator to be involved with the explored ambient like participant observer by inquired group focus. The information collected by interview route from the group, realized with 48 researches among 473 members from Escola Politécnica da Universidade de São Paulo. The data collected revealed series of suggestions gave by researchers during the interviews that open future possibilities to make a profound study with the questions that emerge from this case study to improve the Knowledge net by utilization of Information and Communication Technologies to encourage innovation.

本研究的最主要目的在瞭解電子佈告欄使用者的媒介行為及時間分配的關 聯性。資料分析的結果，在人口特質方面，有如下的發現：電子佈告欄的 受訪者絕大多數是三十歲以下、未婚、大專程度的男性；符合一般新傳播 科技使用者的特徵。職業以學生佔大多數，個人收入在一萬元以下。這二 點發現與過去的研究大異其趣。可能與電子佈告欄「物美價廉」的特性有 關，這也是電子佈告欄和一般新傳播科技昂貴價格的相異處。使用電子佈 告欄的時間並沒有因為性別的差異而有顯著不同。人口特質中的年齡和使 用電子佈告欄的時間有顯著差異；年齡和使用電子佈告欄的時間呈負相關 ，年齡愈小，每天使用電子佈告欄的時間愈長。未婚者使用電子佈告欄的 時間雖然較已婚者長，但兩者未達顯著差異。同樣的情形發生在電子佈告 欄受訪者的教育程度上，不同的教育程度花費在電子佈告欄的時間並無顯 著差異。學生花費在電子佈告欄的時間與從事其他職業者有顯著差異。收 入和使用電子佈告欄的時間呈顯著負相關，收入愈少，使用電子佈告欄的 時間愈長。此外，花費在電子佈告欄這項行為的時間愈長，其閱報時間、 睡眠時間、從事其他活動的時間愈短，印證經濟學時間預算的觀點：時間 是項有限的資源，一項新行為的加入，必然會減少其他活動的使用時間。 而本研究發現，被減少的時間，並非完全是傳統媒介的使用時間，而是睡 眠時間及其他活動時間。

This dissertation reports on an investigation of corrective feedback provided by instructors to learners in sixteen online asynchronous and synchronous interactions. The overarching objective of this study was to examine the provision of corrective feedback in computer-mediated communication (CMC) environments. This study also sought to examine the frequency of corrective feedback types and the relationship between learner error and corrective feedback provision. Finally, this study investigated what types of corrective feedback led to repaired learner responses.Over the course of one university semester, the instructors and students in four second-semester Spanish courses participated in bulletin board and chat room discussions and a detailed analysis of the transcripts revealed that instructors do provide learners with corrective feedback in online asynchronous and synchronous environments. The results also reveal that corrective feedback is more prevalent in the asynchronous environment than in the synchronous environment. A total of six corrective feedback typesexplicit correction, recasts, metalinguistic feedback, clarification request, elicitation, and repetitionwere found in these environments. All corrective feedback types were present in the asynchronous environment while repetition was not observed in the synchronous environment. The results indicate instructors overall preference for explicit correction in the asynchronous environment and preference for recasts in the synchronous environment. In the synchronous environment, different types of learner errors are followed by different types of corrective feedback. Recasts most often follow grammatical and lexical errors, while an opportunity to negotiate form is most often provided for multiple errors.

One approach to studying media is uses and gratifications, a model that suggests media audiences can explain why and for what purpose they use the media. This study took a Uses and Gratifications approach to the Internet social interaction site LambdaMOO. On LambdaMOO, users log on and create an alternate persona to interact with other users. Using a set of questions, 222 selected LambdaMOO users were asked about why they use LambdaMOO, their actions as an alternate persona and their opinions on LambdaMOO. Answers from the subjects were content analyzed to find commonality against several preselected categories and sub-categories. Upon analysis, the subjects were found to use LambdaMOO for talking to other users, "building" up the site through programming and surveying the current events and political movements on the site. Also, the subjects were determined not to act different from their real life actions and preceived attitudes, although the opportunity for freedom through anonymity was everpresent. / Department of Journalism

The diploma thesis "Czechoslovak insite art" deals with the topic of the historical and theoretical development of insite art in Czechoslovakia. In the theoretical part attention is paid to the development of the theory and terminology of insite art and its relation to other kinds of art. To provide the richer and highly complex description the thesis also reflects on the historical development in the world and the history of insite art in Czechoslovakia too. The main part of the diploma thesis focuses on two projects of Slovak National Gallery. The first project is an international exhibition "Trienále insitného umenia" which took place three times between 1966 and 1972 in Bratislava. The second project which the organizers of the exhibition made was publishing of "Buletin INSITA" which has become an crucial source of information for this diploma thesis. The next part of the diploma thesis consists of interviews with Katarína Čierna, an art theorist, and with Pavel Konečný, an art collector. The interviews were made by methodology based on oral history which completes and supplements information from literature, archival sources and contemporary press. Keywords: insite art, Trienále insitného umenia, Bulletin INSITA, Štefan Tkáč, naive art, Czechoslovakia, Bratislava, Insitafilm
