Master of Science / Department of Journalism and Mass Communications / William J. Adams / The purpose of this study is to research cultivation effects of gender represented on MTV reality television series "The Hills" on adolescent female bloggers. Gerbner’s cultivation theory structures the background of this study. By conducting a textual analysis of various celebrity gossip blog sites from November 1-30, 2008, this study will unveil personal opinions relating to the reality of constructed gender representation and authenticity of "The Hills" as a “reality” television program. Blogs provide an ambiguous platform for individuals to immediately express opinions, judgments and attitude concerning the program; therefore, this study will be a contribution to the expanding field of convergence and “new media.” Although comments on the websites are critical of "The Hills" characters and their depiction of “reality,” the television program has a dedicated audience, calling for the reevaluation of “fandom.” Cyberspace offers an opportunity for virtual dialogue among viewers, as well as a platform to express cyberfeminist rhetoric. Women and girls are gaining new social and organizing space, claiming a new form of power and shaping media and society through particular kinds of participatory communication.

First time name of certification were mentioned 1990s concerning a problems with bad forest practices, hard improvement of governmental regulations especial in tropics. Later this concern were growing to 1992 Rio de Janeiro conference. And so, need of strict forest system in 1993 established Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Main activities started later 1996 in Canada with small group of people which started developing countries regional standards (Claros, 2009). Now FSC program is one of the biggest forest certification and accreditation providing company providing wood and their products and certification service. This program supports LEED Lumber, IKEA, biggest companies buying wood in the world, non governamental organisations World wild Fund (WWF), Green peace (www.fsc.org). The curiosity of how FSC forest certification impact forest management in Lithuania and Russia and lack of FSC standard studies with national law encouraged to create such study. We want to analyze FSC certification annual public reports raised CAR’s (Corrective action request) from Forest Management Units (FMU) - enterprises, leaseholders in Lithuania and Russia. The first aim was to find, what main CAR’s in Lithuania, Russia and distribute CAR’s to environmental, economical, social type aspects. In later stages analyze Lithuanian and Russian FSC standards Smart Wood, SGS Qualifor and Russian national. In the last step to compare FSC standards with state law for each country. Analysis of...

Bolivijoje, Brazilijoje, Indonezijoje FSC sertifikavimas vis dar plečiamas (Claros, 2009). Sertifikacijos dėka gerinama miškų valdymo kokybė, biologinės įvairovės apsauga, sprendžiamos darbuotojų saugos problemos. Šio standarto visapusišku naudingumu neabejoja daugelis FSC rėmėjų: LEED Lumber, IKEA, bei didžiausios miško produktus superkančios ar nevyriausybinės organizacijos, Pasaulio gamtos fondas (World wild Fund WWF), Green peace (www.fsc.org). Mokslinių darbų, nagrinėjančių miškų sertifikaciją objektyviai, yra nedaug ir miškų sertifikavimo tema nėra plačiai nagrinėjama palyginus su socialiniais, miško gyvosios ir negyvosios gamtos sąveikos tyrimais. Miškų sertifikavimo standartų palyginamųjų darbų taip pat yra negausu. Šio darbo sukūrimo pagrindas – galimybė išanalizuoti skirtumus tarp FSC sertifikuotų kaimyninių šalių (Lietuvos ir Rusijos) miškų tvarkymo vienetų ir naudojimo standartų (MTV – Lietuvoje valstybinių miškų įmonių urėdijų ir Rusijoje miškų ūkių ir miškų nuomotojų). Taip pat norima sužinoti, ar Lietuvoje ir Rusijoje susiduriama su skirtingais sertifikavimo pažeidimais. Šių pažeidimų koregavimo veiksmų reikalavimų (KVR) aspektų pagalba palyginti Lietuvos ir Rusijos FSC miškų valdymo sertifikacijos standartus bei su standartais susijusi šalių miškų teisė. Kita šio darbo dalis, skirta ištirti kokią įtaką ekonominės... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]

This work belongs to Audiovisual research line of Post Graduation in Communication by UNISINOS, and had come from the intuition of a televisioned-graffiti working on TV programming. On the way to research about this phenomenon this project tries to get an answer to the following questions: How does graffiti is being actualized on MTV? Wich devires of graffiti can be found on these actualization? Wich configurations are established by the esthetic and technical processes on the actualization of graffiti on MTV? The methodological processes of this research are taken in contemporary philosophy related to the Bergson’s intuition method, Deleuze and Guattari’s rizoma method, Derrida’s desconstructive method and, finally, the cartographic process of investigation. The corpus for cartographic analysis was taken from MTV’s fluxes: commercials, marketing points (MP) and promo-images (PI), those

Isso corresponde às configurações de um mercado oligopolista, organizado através de fusões e concentrações. É resgatada a relação que a música estabelece com a televisão brasileira, para finalmente colocá-la dentro da história e do desenvolvimento da MTV Brasil. Também apresenta as estratégias de comercialização do produto musical numa análise da programação dessa emissora. Ao mesmo tempo, contextualiza a cena musical brasileira, do industrial ao alternativo, dentro do desenvolvimento tecnológico e da expansão do capital. Realiza-se, então, um estudo de caso, no âmbito da Economia Política da Comunicação. Para isso, além da análise do conteúdo musical da MTV Brasil e revisão bibliográfica estruturante, procede-se a entrevistas, numa análise (dentre outros possíveis) da cena musical nacional. Esta pesquisa, enfim, é um canal que se abre àqueles que desejam conhecer o intrincado e complexo mundo que permeia os meio de comunicação e suas interfaces, o cenário em que ocorre e como chega ao topo do mercado alguns artistas, canções, CDs, DVDs e outros produtos. / This study is about the process that cultural production goes through in order to turn itself public within a global context in the beginning of the XXI century. It matches the configurations of an oligopolist market that keeps its organization three merger and concentrations. It rascues the link the music will bring up with the brazilian television to put it, at last, within history and development of MTV Brazil. Also it presents the strategics points of commercing musical products analyzing the MTV programming. At the same time, it contextualizes the brazilian musical scenary from the industrial to alternative way in the technological development. Achieving then a study of case to the Political Economy Communication. This work here goes further of an analysis of the musical MTV Brazil contents, and a structured bibliographyc revision proceeding interviews into an analysis (within possible others) of he national music scenary. The research, finishing, means an openned channel to those who wish to discover the complexed and implicated intricate world which permeates the mass media and its interfaces, the scenary where that happens and how some famous names, songs, CDs, DVDs and many other products reach the top of the market.

This study examines portrayals of adolescent girls on Music Television (MTV). A content analysis of 26 hours of MTV programming was conducted and analyzed using quantitative and qualitative methods. Analyzed programming was shown August-November 2001. Dates were chosen randomly; times were chosen randomly from the pools of hours in which adolescents usually watch television. Adolescent girls predominantly appear in the background of MTV programs. Many of them cheer for male celebrities, but only 12% speak. The content analysis reveals that a narrow beauty ideal is promoted on the channel-most girls are thin, White, and wearing revealing clothing. It is argued that MTV portrayals exacerbate girls' body dissatisfaction, sexual objectification, and confidence slide. This study is significant because the stories told on MTV are reflected in the lived world, and those stories suggest that girls should sit quietly in the background and be thin and White to be considered beautiful.

Para tanto busca-se explicar as etapas de produção os idealizadores e as principais referências desse tipo de formato televisivo. Nesse sentido, o primeiro capítulo apresenta um histórico da emissora, desde o surgimento no cenário norte-americano até a sua chegada e consequente popularização no Brasil. A seguir, o segundo capítulo discorre sobre o gênero videoclipe e sua importância para a televisão, apresentando os formatos dele decorrentes, as vinhetas e as artbreaks. Desenvolve-se, então, a conceitualização da artbreak dentro desse universo, mostrando as principais diferenças entre cada um desses formatos, focalizando no referencial pós-moderno, no resgate de certas estruturas vanguardistas dos anos 20 e no processo de serialidade audiovisual. Por fim, no último capítulo, o trabalho procura organizar uma classificação de tipos diferentes de artbreaks, a saber: as fragmentadas, as fílmicas e as animadas

Ziel: Bei Patienten mit Hodgkin-Lymphom (HL) ist das morphologische Tumorvolumen (GTV) ein wichtiger Prognoseparameter. Zunehmend relevant wird zudem das metabolische Tumorvolumen (MTV) im 18F-FDG PET (PET). Ein einheitlicher Standard zur Bestimmung des MTV existiert noch nicht. Ziel dieser Studie war das MTV mit verschiedenen automatischen Segmentierungsalgorithmen zu messen, jeweils mit dem GTV zu vergleichen und eine Algorithmusempfehlung zu geben. Methodik: Bei 63 unbehandelten pädiatrischen HL Patienten mit Mediastinalbefall wurde das MTV mit 19 verschiedenen Segmentierungsverfahren gemessen (13 Region-Growing-Algorithmen (Hermes Hybrid3D Viewer) und sechs iterative Threshold-algorithmen (davon drei voxel- und drei läsionsspezifisch; ABX Rover). Die einzelnen Messungen wurden mit dem manuell im CT gemessenen GTV und dem visuell optimalen metabolischen Volumen (vMTV) verglichen. Potentielle Einflussfaktoren wie der SUVmax, der coefficient of variance (COV) und die Läsionsgröße wurden dokumentiert und der absolute und relative Volumenfehler (VE) wurde bestimmt. Ergebnisse: Das GTV (Median: 142ml [5-521ml]) war systematisch größer als das vMTV (Median: 76ml [4-390ml) und als 18 der 19 MTV Segmentierungsmethoden. Das GTV eignet sich deshalb nicht als Referenzstandard für das MTV. Im Vergleich zum vMTV war der mittlere VE der iterativen Algorithmen kleiner als der der Region-Growing Verfahren. Am geringsten war der VE für einen iterativen voxel-spezifischen Algorithmus (0,7% ±27,4%), die besten Region-Growing Verfahren zeigten größere VE (3SUV: 6,7% ±63,6%; -41%SUVpeak: -5,0% ±41,4%). Zusammenfassung: Das GTV ist beim HL nicht der passende Goldstandard zur Evaluation des MTV. Im Vergleich zum vMTV messen iterative Segmentierungsverfahren, insbesondere voxel-spezifische Algorithmen, das MTV exakter und reproduzierbarer als Region-Growing Verfahren.
