Images of family albums, collections of personal belongings, everyday objects and craft tools are important in my research. Imprints and printing plates can be objects loaded with memory, where their engraving process is rich in traces, accumulations, textures, phantasmagoria and blur. In this context I share how my experience during the process of experimenting with the production of engravings was an integral part of the re-signification of contents and artistic production / ste texto é uma reflexão que integraliza meu processo poético e de pesquisa e que tem por objeto a criação de um pensamento visual através da investigação dos processos de produção de gravuras relacionados à lembrança, à saudade e às memórias afetivas que se acumulam e se apagam durante nossas vidas. São fundamentais em minha pesquisa as imagens dos álbuns de família, as coleções de guardados pessoais, os objetos de uso cotidiano e as ferramentas de oficio. Impressões e matrizes podem ser objetos carregados de memória, e seu processo de gravação e impressão resulta rico em vestígios, rastros, restos, acúmulos, texturas, fantasmagorias e apagamentos. Neste contexto compartilho como a minha experiência durante o processo da experimentação da produção de gravuras foi parte integrante na ressignificação de conteúdos e produção artística.

Processos de análise da imagem gráfica: um estudo comparativo da publicidade de moda. Esta pesquisa que tem como principal objetivo analisar comparativamente anúncios publicitários impressos de moda1 nacionais e internacionais com a intenção de entender seu processo persuasivo, os recursos de sedução e de manipulação. Para atingir este objetivo, resgataremos algumas das principais propostas de análise da imagem na publicidade impressa e contribuiremos com uma sugestão para um novo modelo que segue a trajetória da percepção da imagem à ação esperada do leitor modelo incluindo considerações sobre a campanha em que o anúncio examinado está inserido e o seu contexto. Para demonstrar o modelo de análise proposto analisaremos três anúncios de marcas de artigos de vestuários ligadas ao segmento do jeanswear. / Graphic image analysis processes: a comparative study of fashion advertising. The main objective of this survey is to undertake comparative analyses of domestic and international fashion2 ads aiming to understand both their persuasive processes and their seduction and manipulation resources. To achieve this objective, we will rescue a few of the main image analysis proposals in advertising in print and contribute with a suggestion for a new model that ranges from image perception to the readers expected course action, including considerations on the campaign in which the ad under analysis is inserted and its context. To demonstrate the proposed study model, we will analyze three jeanswear article ads.

O discurso sobre o muçulmano na imprensa brasileira: o caso da revista Veja / The discourse about the muslim in the brazilian press: the case of Veja magazine

Rodrigo Simon de Moraes 17 October 2011 (has links)
Este trabalho investiga o discurso elaborado pela revista Veja sobre os países de maioria muçulmana e os seguidores da religião islâmica. Tendo como suporte teórico as reflexões sobre o Orientalismo, de Edward W. Said, e a Teoria Social do Discurso, abordagem da Análise de Discurso Crítica (ADC), de Norman Fairclough, aplicamos uma combinação de análises qualitativa e quantitativa em um corpus composto por unidades textuais publicadas em três diferentes períodos, tendo como ponto referencial o 11 de setembro de 2001, sendo que os textos são observados não apenas como evento linguístico, mas como práticas sociais constitutivas e constituídas pelos sistemas de crença. Através da identificação, compreensão e determinação das operações que organizam e constroem os enunciados e seus significados, demonstramos que a publicação brasileira sustenta o discurso orientalista através da reprodução do discurso hegemônico norte-americano, o que carrega um caráter disciplinador que age pela legitimação e naturalização das posições que interessam aos Estados Unidos. O resultado adjacente é a construção e manutenção de uma identidade negativa dos que professam sua fé na religão islâmica. / This work investigates the discourse elaborated by Veja magazine about countries of Muslim majority and the followers of the Islamic religion. Having reflections about Orientalism by Edward W. Said and the Social Theory of Discourse, the Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) approach of Norman Fairclough as theoretical support, we apply a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis in a corpus composed of textual units during three different periods, with September 11 as a point of reference. The texts are observed not only as a linguistic event, but as constitutive social practices that are constituted by the systems of belief. By means of the identification, comprehension and determination of the operations that organize and construct the statements and their meanings, we demonstrate that the Brazilian publication sustains the orientalist discourse by means of the reproduction of the hegemonic North-American discourse that carries with it a disciplinary character that works in favor of the legitimacy and naturalization of the positions of United States interest. The underlying result is the construction and maintenance of a negative identity of those who profess their faith in the Islamic religion.

Publicações sobre alimentação, nutrição e sua relação com a saúde nos maiores jornais paulistas: o que está sendo produzido e veiculado? / Publications on diet, nutrition and its relationship to health in the major São Paulo newspapers: what is being produced and published?

Nadine Marques Nunes-Galbes 07 October 2016 (has links)
Introdução - A alimentação é um dos requisitos básicos para a promoção e proteção da saúde, e uma estratégia fundamental para o desenvolvimento de um padrão alimentar adequado e saudável é o fortalecimento do senso crítico e autonomia dos indivíduos. Para tanto, é essencial o acesso à informação clara e precisa que auxilie na escolha de alimentos seguros e adequados. Em vista disso, faz-se necessário compreender de que forma as informações sobre alimentação, nutrição e saúde estão sendo divulgadas pelas mídias de massa na atualidade. Objetivo - Analisar a quantidade, as características e o conteúdo de publicações que apresentam como tema central alimentação, nutrição e sua relação com a saúde, pertencentes aos dois maiores jornais paulistas. Métodos - O estudo teve como técnica central de investigação a pesquisa e seleção de publicações nas versões impressa e digital dos jornais Folha de S. Paulo (jornal A) e O Estado de S. Paulo (jornal B), com subsequente análise segundo o método de análise de conteúdo temática. Foi realizada uma amostragem estratificada de uma semana construída e uma semana corrida, ao longo dos meses de maio a julho do ano de 2015. Os critérios de inclusão das publicações se basearam na abordagem de temas em alimentação e nutrição, devendo, necessariamente, ser estabelecida sua relação com a saúde. Resultados - Foram identificadas 18 publicações que atendiam aos critérios de inclusão, presentes tanto nas versões impressas quanto nas digitais de cada um dos jornais analisados (publicações em comum), sendo 16 publicações do jornal A e duas do jornal B, o que demonstra superioridade numérica de um jornal sobre o outro. O número superior de publicações na versão digital, bem como a quantidade de blogs associados aos jornais indicam uma possível migração do conteúdo sobre o tema de interesse para a versão digital dos jornais, especialmente no caso do jornal B. Com exceção dos títulos das matérias, que diferiram entre as versões digital e impressa de cada um dos jornais (característica mais visível no jornal A do que no B), o conteúdo das publicações selecionadas se mostrou praticamente idêntico. No tocante às mensagens identificadas nas matérias, verificou-se predomínio do conceito de saúde negativa (ausência de doença), do modelo biomédico, da racionalidade sanitária e da supremacia da ciência sobre outras fontes de conhecimento. No mesmo sentido, verificou-se a medicalização dos componentes da alimentação. Em contrapartida, foi identificada a presença (ainda que discreta) de um olhar mais holístico sobre a alimentação e a nutrição, além da fala de pessoas comuns, ainda que em quantidade bastante inferior às falas de profissionais da saúde. Esse fato, associado à sutil referência à mídia, pelos próprios jornais, como difusora de informações potencialmente prejudiciais aos indivíduos, no que diz respeito às escolhas alimentares, foram pontos que chamaram a atenção por destoarem das mensagens predominantes nas publicações. Conclusão - As publicações dos dois maiores jornais paulistas reproduzem e reforçam predominantemente representações sociais que não estimulam o desenvolvimento do senso crítico, tampouco o fortalecimento da autonomia pelos indivíduos, indo de encontro ao preconizado para a Promoção da Saúde. Contudo, foi identificado potencial de mudança no direcionamento das mensagens, contando com a presença de vozes populares, além de uma autocrítica discreta da mídia. / Introduction: Nutrition is one of the basic requirements for health promotion and protection, and a key strategy for the development of an appropriate and healthy eating pattern is the strengthening of critical thinking and individual autonomy. Therefore, it is essential to have access to clear and accurate information so that can assist in choosing safe and suitable food. In light of this, it is necessary to understand in which way information about feed, nutrition and health is being disseminated by the mass media nowadays. Objective: To analyze the amount, characteristics and content of publications which present the topic \"feed, nutrition and its relationship to health,\" belonging to the two major newspapers from São Paulo. Methods: The study had as central investigation technique the research and selection of publications in printed and digital versions of the newspapers Folha de S. Paulo (journal A) and O Estado de S. Paulo (journal B), with subsequent analysis according to thematic content analysis method. A stratified sampling was performed on a constructed week and on a current week, from May to July of 2015. The inclusion criteria of the publications were based on addressing issues in feed and nutrition, and its relationship to health should necessarily be established. Results and discussion: It were identified 18 publications that met the inclusion criteria, present both in printed and the digital versions of each of the newspapers analyzed (publications \"in common\"). It were selected 16 publications from journal A and two from journal B which shows numerical superiority of one newspaper on the other. The higher number of publications in digital version as well as the amount of blogs associated with newspapers indicates a possible migration of content on the topic of interest to the digital version of the newspapers, especially in the case of journal B. Except for the titles of the publications, which differed between digital and printed versions of each of the newspapers (most visible feature in journal A than in journal B), the contents of the selected publications showed practically identical. With regard to the messages identified in publications, there was a predominance of negative health concept (absence of disease), the biomedical model, the sanitary rationality and supremacy of science over other sources of knowledge. Similarly, it was verified the medicalization of feed components. In contrast, the presence (albeit discreet) of a more holistic look at feed and nutrition has been identified, as well as the speech of \"ordinary people\", although in an amount considerably smaller than the health professionals speech. This fact, coupled with the discreet reference to media as diffusing potentially harmful information to individuals with regard to food choices were points that drew attention because escaped the standard of the prevailing messages in publications. Conclusion: The publications of the two major newspapers from São Paulo reproduce and reinforce predominantly social representations that do not stimulate the development of critical thinking, either strengthen the autonomy of the individuals, going against the principles advocated for Health Promotion. However, it was identified potential change in the direction of messages, with the presence of popular voices, plus a discreet criticism of the media itself.

Processos de socialização em jornalismo: adestrando \'focas\' ou treinando trainees / Socialization processes in journalism: training \"focas\" or trainees

Rodrigo Gomes Lobo 19 November 2010 (has links)
Como um profissional iniciante se torna um jornalista? Como tais profissionais definem o que é jornalismo? O que os capacita a exercerem suas atividades e confirma seu estatuto de jornalistas? Quais os outros agentes e agências envolvidos nesse processo? O presente trabalho discute essas questões a partir de dois cursos de jornalismo oferecidos por empresas paulistanas que atuam com foco no jornalismo impresso diário empresarial. Pretende-se, através de entrevistas e da etnografia desses dois espaços de socialização, analisar as visões de mundo e as concepções de conhecimento implicadas nesses contextos de aprendizagem que engendram matrizes de percepção, ação e apreciação da realidade em que estão entremeados diversos interesses vitais: políticos, mercadológicos, jornalísticos. / How do beginners turn into journalists? How do they define what is journalism? What enables them to carry out their activities and confirm their status as journalists? Which are other agents and agencies involved in this process? This thesis discusses these issues from two journalism courses offered by companies that operate in São Paulo, focusing on daily print journalism. Through interviews and ethnography of these two spaces of socialization, this work intends to analyze the worldviews and conceptions of knowledge involved in such learning contexts. Those types of knowledge engender matrices of perception, action and assessment of the reality in which are imbedded several vital interests: political, marketing, journalism.

Considerando que a análise discursiva pressupõe levar em conta o discurso em suas condições de produção, objetiva-se discutir a respeito do papel da mídia, relacionando à produção de sentidos para as manifestações como acontecimento jornalístico (Dela-Silva, 2011). O corpus do trabalho é constituído por edições das revistas Veja e Isto É, duas publicações representantes das chamadas revistas semanais de informação brasileiras, que apresentaram como destaque em suas capas as manifestações de junho de 2013 em comparação às edições referentes às mesmas datas, publicadas em 2014. As reportagens sobre as manifestações de 2013 foram destaques nas capas em três edições consecutivas na revista Isto É e em cinco edições em Veja. Em 2014, Veja e Isto É publicaram em suas capas reportagens sobre a copa do mundo de futebol, com poucas referências às manifestações do ano anterior. Assim, as manifestações são citadas de forma indireta em reportagens variadas, sem qualquer menção ao evento histórico que havia ocorrido no país um ano antes. Apesar de não aparecerem nas capas e raramente nas principais reportagens que integram as publicações, houve manifestações populares em 2014, principalmente nas cidades que sediaram os jogos da seleção brasileira, o que nos leva a refletir acerca das causas que motivaram esse silêncio por parte das publicações. A princípio, as duas revistas parecem sustentar seus dizeres em discursos distintos, mas em relação ao apagamento no aniversário de uma das maiores manifestações da história do país, as duas revistas dialogam com o mesmo discurso: o silêncio / This study aims to analyze, based on the theoretical and methodological assumptions of the discourse analysis proposed by Pêcheux and also based on the concept of silence, made by Eni Orlandi, such as Veja and IstoÉ reported, producing effects directions, the demonstrations that took place in June 2013 and how these publications reported these events after a year in 2014 in Brazil. Whereas the discursive analysis assumes take into account the speech in his speech conditions, the objective is to discuss about the role of media, relating to the production of meaning to the demonstrations as journalistic event. The work corpus consists of editions of magazines Veja and Isto two representatives publications of calls weekly magazine Brazilian information, which presented as featured on their covers the June 2013 demonstrations in comparison to issues relating to the same dates, published in 2014. The reports on the 2013 demonstrations were featured on the covers in three consecutive editions of the magazine Isto É and five editions See. In 2014, Veja and Isto published in their reporting covers about cup football world, with few references to the events of the previous year. Thus, the manifestations are mentioned indirectly in various reports, without any mention of the historical event that had occurred in the country a year before. Although not appear on the covers and rarely the main reports that integrate the publications, there were demonstrations in 2014, mainly in the cities that hosted the games of the national team, which leads us to reflect on the causes that motivated this silence by the publications . At first, the two magazines appear to support their sayings in different speeches, but in relation to erase the anniversary of one of the largest demonstrations in the history of the country, the two magazines dialogue with the same speech: silence

Design och implementering av utskriftsredovisning och statusrapportering för utskriftshanteraren LPRng / Design and Implementation of Accounting and Status Notification for the LPRng Print Spooler

Edlund, Henrik January 2003 (has links)
This thesis presents the design and implementation of an accounting and status notification system for the LPRng print spooler. A solution using SNMP to query for needed accounting and status data is presented, a design built upon this, and an implementation produced. As the system derives from the requirements specification, it will make no attempt to solve all printer accounting problems or to offer compatibility with all printers, database management systems or print spoolers. However, several solutions for printer accounting are discussed and the best solution derived from the requirements specification will be chosen.

A Review of Perceptual Image Quality

Petersson, Jonas January 2005 (has links)
What is meant with print quality, what makes people perceive the quality of an image in a certain way? An inquiry was made about what the parameters are that strongly affect the perception of digital printed images. A subjective test and some measurements make the basis for the thesis. The goal was to find a tool to predict perceived image quality when investigating the connections between the subjective test and the measurements. Some suitable images were chosen, with a variety of motifs. A test panel consisting of people that are used to observe image quality answered questions about the perception of the quality. Measurements were made on a special test form to get information about the six different printers used in the investigation. One of the discoveries was made when two images with the same colorful motif were compared. The first image got a much higher grade for general quality than the second image, even though the second image was printed with a printer that had a larger color gamut. The reason of this is that the first image consists of more saturated colors, and the second image has more details. The human eye perceives the more saturated image to be better than the image with more details. Another discovery was the correlation between the perceived general quality of a colored image and the perceived color gamut. One conclusion was that a great difference between two calculated color gamuts resulted in a large difference in perception of the color gamuts. A discovery of an image with very few colors and many glossy surfaces was that print mottle and sharpness are strictly connected to the general quality.

Secrecy redefined : print culture and the globalization of occult philosophies in the long nineteenth century

Oates, Lori Lee January 2016 (has links)
This thesis seeks to examine the relationship between occult religion and the global circulation of texts. For some time now, scholars have rejected the secularism thesis or the idea that there has been a decline of religion in the post-Enlightenment period. Today, we largely accept that religion did not actually decline or disappear but, rather, it has changed form. Religion shifted from traditional religious institutions to become an aspect of aesthetic culture, available through the commercial economy. My work explores how the relationship between the book and commercial religion emerged and evolved during the long nineteenth century. Occultism has long been viewed as an aspect of the rise of secular society following the Enlightenment. This thesis proposes a new lens through which we can view the evolution of occultism, seeing it as a response to growth in global networks of empire and the commercialization of religion through the printed word. It explores how the nature of the transmission of occultism shifted, particularly during the final decades of the nineteenth century. Antoine Faivre’s foundational text Access to Western Esotericism (1994) put forward the concept of the transmission of occultism as something that occurs between a disciple and an initiate. My thesis, however, argues that the widening of print activity and literacy expanded the opportunities for initiation into magic to occur more broadly, changing the nature of who could become an initiate. As such, secrecy around magic became redefined. It shifted from being a pursuit of the literate elite to something that was widely available. This analysis is delivered in four chapters. The introduction examines the relationship between literature and nineteenth-century occultism. It also discusses the influence of globalization. Chapter one discusses the occult in post-revolutionary France and the influence of Egyptian orientalism on French occultism. Chapter two addresses Victorian occultism and discusses the context of a growing Victorian literary industry. Chapter three addresses the Theosophical Society as an agent of globalized and commercialized religion. It also addresses the importance of British imperialism in India. Finally, chapter four discusses the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and the resurgence of Egyptian orientalism and elitism in British occultism.

Konstruktion av svingarm till EcoistVehicleTM

Öhman, Oliver, Wikman, Christian January 2017 (has links)
Den här rapporten handlar om ett maskintekniskt konstruktionsprojekt som framtagits av Christian Wikman och Oliver Öhman. Det är ett uppdrag som givits av EcoistVehicleTM för att slutföra högskoleingenjörsexamen inom maskinteknik vid Högskolan i Halmstad. Princip- och Primärkonstruktion (Olsson, 1995), Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics (Gillespie, 1992) och en stor mängd egen sökning har använts som grund till metoden som använts under projektets gång.   EcoistVehicleTM är ett fordonsprojekt som startats av Thomas Koch. Det är en eldriven, singelsits och trehjulig bil med ett drivande bakhjul. Idén bakom bilen är att transportera föraren till sin destination på ett miljövänligt sätt. Bilen är lämpad till landsbygd och pendling med en räckvidd på 40-50km. Syftet med uppdraget som gavs våren 2017 var att hitta snabbare metoder att konstruera och tillverka en svingarm till fordonet.   Uppdraget som gavs var att konstruera och möjligtvis tillverka en svingarm för det drivande bakhjulet som skall passa in på bilens dimensioner samt ha en relativt snabb tillverkningsprocess för en produktionsserie på 10-20 bilar. Uppdragsgivarens önskemål var att 3D-printa ut de större delarna av svingarmen och sedan efterbearbeta monteringsdelar och passytor med fräsning. Flera tillverkningsprocesser som används inom fordonsindustrin för framtagning av motorcykelsvingarmar har setts över och jämföras för att få fram den metod som passar detta projekt.   Det som författarna bidragit med till projeketet är en högre kunskap om 3D-printning av metall, då specifikt aluminium, olika koncept för tillverkning samt analyser av konstruktionen för att testa hållfasthet till den slutgiltiga produkten. / This report will be about a mechanical design project that has been developed by Christian Wikman and Oliver Öhman. The assignment was given by EcoistVehicleTM to complete a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering at Halmstad University. Princip- och Primärkonstruktion (Olsson, 1995), Fundamentals of Vehicle Dynamics (Gillespie, 1992) and a large amount of research on the web has been used as the foundation for the method that’s been used all through this project.   EcoistVehicleTM is a vehicle project started by Thomas Koch. It is an electrically powered, single seat, three wheeled vehicle that's driven by a single rear wheel. The idea behind the car is to transport the driver to his destination in an environmentally friendly way. The car is suited for commuting in the countryside with a range of 40-50km. The purpose of the assignment that was given in the spring of 2017 was to look into faster methods of designing and manufacturing a swingarm for the vehicle.   Our assignment was to design and possibly manufacture a swingarm for the driving rear wheel that should fit the specifications of the car and have a relatively fast manufacturing process for a series of 10-20 cars. Our mentor and taskmaster has a request to 3D-print the larger parts of the swingarm then after work the mounting surfaces and mating surfaces with milling. Several manufacturing processes used in the automotive industry for the production of motorcycle swingarms will be screened and compared to get the method that will fit this project.   The authors have contributed with a higher knowledge of 3D-printing, specifically aluminum, different design concepts together with analysis of the design to test the solidity of the final product.
