The Morphic Orator: Transmogrified Delivery on the Audio-Enabled WebSnead, Brian Johnson 20 November 2008 (has links)
Audio is an effective but often overlooked component of World Wide Web delivery. Of the nearly twenty billion web pages estimated to exist, statistically few use sound. Those few using sound often use it poorly and with hardly any regard to theoretical and rhetorical issues. This thesis is an examination of the uses of audio on the World Wide Web, specifically focusing on how that use could be informed by current and historical rhetorical theory. A theoretical methodology is applied to suggest the concepts and disciplines required to make online audio more meaningful and useful. The thesis argues for the connection between the Web and the modern orator, its embodiment, its place in sound reproduction technology, and awareness of the limitations placed on it by design and convention.

A Study On Social And Affective Dimensions Of The Use Of Assisted Reproduction Technology (art) By Women In TurkeyUner, Ozge 01 September 2004 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis aims to discuss the concept of Assisted Reproduction Technology and its
social and affective impacts. Women will be at the center of this research as it has been
thought that emotional stressors are mostly effective on them. In the present work, an
investigation will be carried out among women who have used assisted reproduction
technology methods and women who are able to reproduce and conceive &ldquo / naturally&rdquo / .
The comparison of these two groups will illuminate problematical aspects of assisted
reproduction technology. The research will be based on two sets of questionnaires
designed for each group of women. In this study, both qualitative and quantitative data
were used. These analyses will not only lead us to compare infertile and fertile
women&rsquo / s responses and evaluate the consequences of emergent assisted reproduction
technology but also to assess its social and emotional impacts.
