Under tio veckor har jag arbetat med skapandet av kollektionen Blandband. Utgångspunkten var ränder och lura ögat. Jag ville undersöka vad som utgör en rand och hur en tredimensionell rand ser ut. Redan i början av arbetet satte jag en färgskala bestående av dels kulörta, starka färger och dels två nyanser av grått samt svart och vitt. Jag angrep arbetet med hjälp av en designmetod bestående av fem faser: Målsättning och research, Idéutveckling, Konceptutveckling, Realisering, Presentation och kommunikation. Färgpaletten, målsättning och moodboard som togs fram under första fasen fungerade tillsammans genom hela processen som en bas som jag kunnat stödja mig mot. Efter att idéer och koncept utvecklats började en kollektion ta form. I kollektionen Blandband ingår tre mönster; Samantha, Tommy och Lena, i vardera två färgställningar, dur och moll. Kollektionen är digitaltryckt på tre olika bomullskvaliteter. I den här rapporten redovisar jag mitt examensarbete Blandband i ord och bild.Throughout ten weeks I have been creating the Blandband collection. The starting point was stripes and trompe l’oeil. I wanted to explore what constitutes a stripe. In the beginning of the project I decided on a color palette containing partly of vibrant colors, and partly two shades of gray, black and white. I have used a basic design method with five phases: Research and Positioning, Concept generation, Concept development, Concept realisation, Presentation and Communication. The collection Blandband consists of three patterns: Lena, Samantha and Tommy, each pattern in two different colorways. This is the report of my bachelor thesis Blandband. / Program: Textildesignutbildningen

Tryckta Texturer – Färgade Floder, är ett lekfullt undersökande i hur man kan skapa mönster med illusioner av struktur på textil. Inspiration till projektet hämtas i vattnets böljande former, dess färgskiftningar och blanka yta. Utifrån temat vatten och vattenföroreningar tillverkas inspirationscollage som blir referens till val av färger och mönster. Stort vikt och tid läggs i det här arbetet på skissande och att hitta passande skisstekniker. Jag arbetar med metoder som ger strukturerade ytor och gör utifrån dem mönster. Genom digitaltryck överförs mönstren foto- identiskt till textil vilket bidrar till att jag kan skapa mönster med djup och liv. I val av material eftersträvar jag att efterlikna vattnets egenskaper och framhäva mönstrens kvaliteter. Arbetet presenteras som en kollektion textilier i metervara.In my bachelor thesis; Printed Textures – Coloured Rivers, I explore how to make textile prints with illusions of texture. I search for inspiration in water; it’s undulating shape, shiny surface and the changing of colour. Pattern ideas and colouration are taken from the pure and clear water as well as the poisonous and polluted. I put time and effort in finding suitable sketching techniques for creating structured surfaces. Out of the sketches I make patterns. By using digital printing I make it possible to transfer them onto fabric without loosing any details or colours. The technique makes it possible to create illusions of depth and make vivid patterns. In terms of choosing fabric I aim to simulate the properties of water and to bring out the qualities of each pattern. The work is presented as a collection of fabric by the metre. / Program: Textildesignutbildningen

Dagdrömmar är en tapetkollektion bestående av tre fondtapeter som kombinerar det moderna, massproducerade digitaltrycket med traditionell, unik broderiteknik. Genom att tillföra handbroderi och dess struktur och textila känsla till ett digitaltryckt tapetmaterial skapas en kollektion som befinner sig i gränslandet mellan design och konst, lyx och budget samt dröm och verklighet.Daydreams is a wallpaper collection consisting of three images that combines the modern, mass-produced digital printing techniques with traditional, unique needlework. By applying embroidery – with its structure and fabric texture – to a digitally printed wallpaper material, a collection is created that lingers on the borders between art and design, luxury and modesty as well as dream and reality. / Program: Textildesignutbildningen

Este trabalho teve por objetivo geral verificar a relação do homem com a sociedade, por meio da linguagem. Assim, partiu-se para revistas de variedades, que circulavam no Brasil e em Portugal em 1968 O Cruzeiro e Flama. Especificamente, objetivou-se detectar a polifonia, bem como o dialogismo que perpassavam os textos das mencionadas revistas, a fim de que se conseguisse depreender o ethos das publicações, assim como o ethos dos colaboradores das revistas, além do ethos das próprias pessoas envolvidas nos fatos noticiados. A polifonia detectada não proporcionou, entretanto, a depreensão da ideologia de cada uma das publicações, o que pode demonstrar um posicionamento de obediência frente à censura imposta pelos dois países naquele ano ou mesmo retratar opções e interesses dos proprietários de O Cruzeiro e da Flama. A pesquisa realizou-se com base teórica na Análise do Discurso de linha francesa e, não de forma central, mas consubstanciada também por teorias lingüísticas que enfocam a interação e em autores que, de algum modo, apresentam-se afinados com alguns preceitos da AD, em especial Bakhtin, sendo bastante importantes também Charadeau e Maingueneau. A confluência dessas teorias propiciou (re) ver um ano tão marcante tanto em termos de mudanças comportamentais, como em termos políticos. Por meio das revistas e amparo da teoria apresentada, traçou-se um percurso historiográfico do ano, nos dois países. Levando em conta as categorias citadas, a análise possibilitou uma visão mais ampla de cada uma das revistas. Concluiu-se que muito do ano de 1968, no tocante ao aspecto político, foi apresentado de modo parcial e não contou com um fio ideológico claramente definido tanto numa quanto em outra publicação. / This research aims to check the relation between men and society through language. Thus, we have analyzed fait-divers magazines which used to be published both in Brazil and Portugal in the year of 1968- such as O Cruzeiro e Flama. Specifically, we have tried to detect the polyphony and the dialogism in those magazines so as to reveal the ethos of the issues, of the writers of such magazines and also of the people involved in the narrated facts. However, the polyphony did not detect the ideology of each publication which can show a certain obedience to the censorship imposed by the two countries in that time or else it can show options and interests of the owners of the magazines mentioned above. The research was based not only on the theory of French discourse analysis but also on some auxiliary linguistic theories which focus on the interaction and on certain authors like Bakhtin, Charaudeau and Maingueneau. The study of these theories has offered a chance to (re) view the importance of such a remarkable year in terms of changes of behavior, and also in terms of politics. Through the magazines it was possible to trace a historical route of that year in both countries. Taking into account the categories cited, the analysis provided an ample vision of each magazine. We have concluded that much of what happened in 1968 had not been clearly ideologically defined in both publications.

This thesis studies print culture in colonial Lagos against the background of the public sphere, and brings together a variety of English-language and Yoruba-language newspapers. Such an approach allows for highlighting the practicalities of newspaper production and foregrounding the work accomplished by newspapermen in a changing 'information environment' and political context. It offers insights into Lagos politics, contributes to the history of the educated elite, and to more global histories of communication. Using newspapers as well as archival records, and focussing on events that strikingly reveal dynamics in the public sphere, this thesis narrates a nuanced history of a discursive field which was, amongst other things, central for Lagos politics. This thesis complicates a Habermasian notion of the public sphere as an open discursive space, and not only highlights that the public sphere was an arena of contested meanings, but also illustrates axes along which the composition of this social structure was negotiated. When newspapers emerged in the late nineteenth-century, discussions in the press were largely restricted to the elite. The economy of recognition that was at play in the public sphere was to change in the 1920s. This thesis highlights how newspapermen and contributors sought to carve out niches for themselves in the public sphere in new ways and how their becoming a speaker in this discursive field was challenged and contested. It highlights the nuanced ways in which newspapermen and contributors convened publics through their papers: how they did so around particular issues, in distinction from each other, and how they adapted the convening of publics to new political dynamics in the 1940s. This thesis gives insight into the complex relationship between English-language and Yoruba-language newspapers, and moreover illustrates how the practicalities of the newspaper business were coming to bear on dynamics in the public sphere.

En raison du développement et de la disponibilité des appareils d'impression et de numérisation, le nombre de documents contrefaits augmente rapidement. En effet, les documents de valeur ainsi que les emballages de produits sont de plus en plus ciblés par des duplications non autorisées. Par conséquent, différents éléments de sécurité (hologrammes, encres, papiers) ont été proposés pour prévenir ces actions illégales. Dans cette thèse, nous nous concentrons sur les éléments de sécurité imprimés qui offrent un haut niveau de sécurité et qui possèdent une mise en œuvre et une intégration simple. Nous présentons comment générer de nouveaux éléments de sécurité qui visent à protéger les documents de valeur et les emballages contre des processus de duplication non autorisés. Ces éléments nous permettent en outre de stocker une grande quantité d'informations cachées.La caractéristique principale de ces éléments de sécurité est leur sensibilité au processus d'impression et de numérisation. Cette sensibilité est obtenue à l'aide de motifs texturés spécifiques. Ces motifs sont des images binaires qui possèdent une structure sensible aux processus d'impression, de numérisation et de copie. Nous définissons les critères spécifiques qui doivent être respectés lors du choix de ces motifs texturés. La quantité d'information encodée dans l'image augmente avec le nombre de motifs texturés utilisées.En complément, nous proposons dans ce mémoire d'améliorer la robustesse de la détection des modules, pour tous les codes graphiques, par l'utilisation d'une nouvelle mesure d'erreur quadratique moyenne pondérée. L'utilisation de cette nouvelle mesure nous a permis d'augmenter de façon significative le taux de reconnaissance des modules lorsqu'ils sont utilisés dans des codes à barres standard à haute densité. Enfin, nous étudions expérimentalement plusieurs phénomènes : le processus physique d'impression et de numérisation, la séparation du bruit du scanner de celui de l'imprimante et les changements de couleurs après processus d'impression et de numérisation. Nous concluons à partir de cette étude expérimentale, que le processus d'impression et de numérisation ne peut pas être modélisé comme un loi Gaussienne. Nous mettons en avant que ce processus n'est ni blanc ni ergodique au sens large. / Due to the development and availability of printing and scanning devices, the number of forged/counterfeited valuable documents and product packages is increasing. Therefore, different security elements (holograms, inks, papers) have been suggested to prevent these illegal actions. In this thesis, we focus on printed security elements that give access to a high security level with an easy implementation and integration. We present how to generate several novel security elements that aim to protect valuable documents and packaging against unauthorized copying process. Moreover, these security elements allow us to store a huge amount of hidden information.The main characteristic of these security elements is their sensitivity to the print-and-scan process. This sensitivity stems from the use of specific textured patterns. These patterns, which are binary images, have a structure that changes during the printing, scanning and copying processes. We define new specific criteria that ensures the chosen textured patterns to have the appropriate property. The amount of additional information encoded in the patterns increases with the number of patterns used.Additionally, we propose a new weighted mean squared error measure to improve the robustness of module detection for any high density barcodes. Thanks to this measure, the recognition rate of modules used in standard high density barcodes after print-and-scan process can be significantly increased. Finally, we experimentally study several effects: the physical print-and-scan process, separation of scanner noise from printer noise and changes of colors after print-and-scan process. We conclude, from these experimental results, that the print-and-scan process cannot be considered as being a Gaussian process. It has been also highlighted that this process is neither white nor ergodic in the wide sense.

This diploma thesis "Development of representation of crime in the Czech print media" deals with the way of the representation of crime in the Czech press and its development from 1995 to 2010. It found out how much space is devoted to crime, compare the representation of domestic and foreign events, find out if they are among surveyed journals some differences. It also analyzes what crime is the most highly publicized, and focuses on the personality of the perpetrator and the victim of a gender perspective. The theoretical part treat of crime and deviant behavior and discusses their possible causes. It also deals with the central sociological issues, such as social norms, social control and socialization. Also based on the findings of science that deals with crime, criminology, refers to its concept of the classification of the crime and information about the investigation of the crime, take expectation to the issue of statistical data.

Este projeto teve por objetivo o desenvolvimento e organização de trabalhos em três linguagens visuais que considero ao mesmo tempo distintas e complementares no que se referem ao meu percurso como artista. São pinturas, gravuras e fotografias produzidas nos últimos quatro anos, dispostas de maneira orgânica e que buscam, cada qual em sua especificidade, tratar de temas relativos à concepção do espaço e suas ambiguidades. Neste sentido, procuro considerar elementos como sobreposições e recortes de planos, espelhamentos, reflexos, transparências; enfim, imagens imprecisas e difusas caracterizadas por estabelecer algum tipo de estranhamento ao espectador. De certa forma, este tema acompanha meu trabalho desde outros tempos, certamente há mais de quinze anos, o que justifica também a apresentação de obras anteriores que possibilitam uma melhor compreensão deste percurso. / This study aimed at developing and organizing my work in three visual languages which at the same time I consider to be different and complementary in relation to my journey as an artist. It consists of paintings, prints and photographs produced in the last four years, arranged in an organic way and which seek, each in its own specificity, to address issues related to the conception of space and its ambiguities. In this sense, I try to investigate elements such as overlapping and clipping planes, mirroring, reflections, and transparencies, in short, inaccurate and diffuse images characterized by having meanings which are not easily revealed by the observer. I have been dealing with this theme in my work for about 15 years. This is the reason why I have also presented earlier works which enable a better understanding of this path.

O presente trabalho apresenta uma alternativa ao processo de classificação do defeito da segregação central em amostras de aço, utilizando as imagens digitais que são geradas durante o ensaio de Baumann. O algoritmo proposto tem como objetivo agregar as técnicas de processamento digital de imagens e o conhecimento dos especialistas sobre o defeito da segregação central, visando a classificação do defeito de referência. O algoritmo implementado inclui a identificação e a segmentação da linha segregada por meio da aplicação da transformada de Hough e limiar adaptativo. Adicionalmente, o algoritmo apresenta uma proposta para o mapeamento dos atributos da segregação central nos diferentes graus de severidade do defeito, em função dos critérios de continuidade e intensidade. O mapeamento foi realizado por meio da análise das características individuais, como comprimento, largura e área, dos elementos segmentados que compõem a linha segregada. A avaliação do desempenho do algoritmo foi realizada em dois momentos específicos, de acordo com sua fase de implementação. Para a realização da avaliação, foram analisadas 255 imagens de amostras reais, oriundas de duas usinas siderúrgicas, distribuídas nos diferentes graus de severidade. Os resultados da primeira fase de implementação mostram que a identificação da linha segregada apresenta acurácia de 93%. As classificações oriundas do mapeamento realizado para as classes de criticidade do defeito, na segunda fase de implementação, apresentam acurácia de 92% para o critério de continuidade e 68% para o critério de intensidade. / This work presents an alternative to the classification process of centerline segregation in steel samples, using the digital images that are generated during the Baumann test. The proposed algorithm aims to aggregate the digital image processing techniques and experts knowledge on centerline segregation to classify the reference defect. The implemented algorithm includes the identification and segmentation of segregation line, applying the Hough transform and adaptive thresholding. Additionally, the algorithm presents a proposal for mapping the centerline segregation attributes on the different defect degrees of severity, according to the intensity and continuity criteria. The mapping was carried out by analyzing the individual characteristics such as length, width and area of the segmented elements that make up the segregation line. The evaluation of the algorithm performance was done in two specific moments, according to implementation phase. In carrying out this evaluation, 255 images of real samples from two steel plants were analyzed, distributed in different degrees of severity. The results of the first phase of implementation show that the identification of the segregation line has 93% accuracy. The classification results from the attributes mapping realized to the defect severity degrees in the second implementation phase, has accuracy of 92% for the continuity criteria and 68% for the intensity criteria.
