Abstract:

Large radius air bending has a different loading diagram than conventional bending, which affects the material behavior during the bending process. In order to establish a correct loading diagram, the position of the contact points between the plate and the punch is determinant. The position of the contact points is depending on the evolution of the bending process and the influence of the material is unknown. In this work, the determination of the position of the contact points in large radius air bending has been studied by means of both an experimental campaign and finite element analysis. Experiments were performed on a press-brake with a capacity of 50 metric tons. High-strength steel Weldox 1300 and aluminum alloy AlMg3, and punches of radii 30, 35 and 40 mm have been used. During the bending process, the punch movement has been monitored and the bending angle has been measured by means of images recorded by a camera system. Based on the obtained results, the relation between the bending angle and the position of the contact points is discussed.

Abstract:

History is enamored of revolutions. This essay takes as its subject a revolution—the Young Turk Revolution of 1908—which overthrew one of the most enduring autocracies of early modern times. It concerns itself, however, with revolution of a specific kind, cartoon revolution: where images could take precedence over words; where the past, present, and future were created and imagined; where the celebration of new freedoms brought citizens into contact with menaces in the streets.

Abstract:

From around 1880 to 1920, the term ‘high life’ figured prominently in the press, advertising, literature, and illustrated print media in European and American urban centres and was linked to luxury consumer products and a wealthy lifestyle. The meanings of the expression were flexible and became intertwined across geographic locations. Printed media acted as a non-physical contact zone where a multitude of cultural influences, economic interests, and visual languages intersected. Taking Spanish popular print culture as a point of departure, this article charts how the term emerged in different geographic locations and became associated with both local and international identities. The circulation of the high life brand name reveals how cultural producers, advertisers, and local readers thought about transnational webs of consumerism at the turn of the twentieth century. The expression was decentred from its English origin, even in Anglophone settings, and redefined across local cultures without losing its association with perceived international practices and trends.

Abstract:

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo avaliar a área de contato e os deslocamentos vertical e horizontal de dois pneus BPAF (baixa pressão e alta flutuação), um agrícola e um florestal, em superfície rígida. O pneu agrícola foi submetido aos seguintes tratamentos de pressões e cargas: 48,2 kPa e 25 kN, 193 kPa e 50 kN, 234,4 kPa e 50 kN, 344,7 kPa e 50 kN. No pneu florestal foram realizados os tratamentos de pressões e cargas: 158,5 kPa e 35 kN, 241,3 kPa e 50 kN, 379,2 kPa e 50 kN e 496,4 kPa e 50 kN. As áreas de contato dos pneus nas diferentes pressões de inflação e cargas foram demarcadas com prensa hidráulica sobre folhas de papel fixadas em superfície rígida, e as mesmas foram determinadas através de imagens utilizando o software ImageJ. Para obtenção dos valores dos deslocamentos horizontal e vertical utilizou-se dois sensores do tipo potenciômetros lineares. Observou-se que o aumento da pressão de inflação promoveu redução da área de contato e do deslocamento vertical e horizontal em ambos os tipos de pneus. Quando mensurado o deslocamento vertical, o pneu agrícola apresentou valores mais elevados quando comparado ao pneu florestal. No deslocamento horizontal, o pneu agrícola apresentou menor valor em relação ao florestal, e, não houve diferença entre os dois pneus em relação a pressão mínima. Considerando-se a área de contato houve redução da mesma nos dois pneus. A alta pressão de inflação acarretou em maior rigidez em ambos os tipos de pneu, mesmo havendo diferenças em seus compostos de borracha, reduzindo também sua área de contato com a superfície. O pneu agrícola assemelha-se ao florestal quando submetido à alta pressão de inflação.PALAVRAS-CHAVE: deslocamento; pressão de inflação; carga; borracha. ELASTIC DEFORMATIONS AND CONTACT AREAS OF AGRICULTURAL AND FORESTRY TIRES USING A HYDRAULIC PRESS IN HARD SURFACEABSTRACT: The present study had as objective to evaluate the contact area, vertical and horizontal displacement of two BPAF (low pressure and high fluctuation) tires, one forestry and other agricultural, in rigid surface. The agricultural tire was submitted to the following pressure and loads treatments: 48,2 kPa and 25 kN, 193 kPa and 50 kN, 234,4 kPa, and 50 kN, 344,7 kPa and 50 kN. While the forestry tire was submitted to pressure and loads treatments as follow: 158,5 kPa and 35 kN, 241,3 kPa and 50 kN, 379,2 kPa, and 50 kN e 496,4 kPa and 50 kN. The contact areas of the tires at different inflation pressures and loads were demarcated with hydraulic press on paper sheets fixed on a rigid surface, and these were determined through images using software ImageJ. To obtain the values of horizontal and vertical offsets, two linear potentiometers sensors were used. It was observed that the increase in the inflation pressure promoted reduction of the contact area and the vertical and horizontal displacement in both types of tires. When the vertical displacement was measured, the agricultural tire presented higher values when compared to the forest tire. In the horizontal displacement, the agricultural tire presented less value in relation to the forest, and, there was no difference between the two tires in relation to the minimum pressure. Considering the contact area there was reduction of the same in the two tires. The high inflation pressure resulted in greater rigidity in both types of tire, even though there were differences in its rubber compounds, also reducing its area of contact with the surface. The agricultural tire resembles the forest when subjected to high inflation pressure.KEYWORDS: displacement, inflation pressure, load, rubber.

Abstract:

The proliferation of popular newspapers during the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–1878 transformed the boundaries of public debate in Russia and brought the people into close contact with each other as well as with the outer world. Printing and the press had a parallel effect on the fin-de-siècle Ottoman public sphere. Newspapers of the Sublime Porte utilized defeats against Russia to juxtapose – if not depose – the Sultan’s cult as the sole symbol of unity with a nationalist one. “Wartime Propaganda and the Legacies of Defeat” is a comparative study of the two major newspapers – Golos and Basiret – during this period. I examine the major commonalities between these papers: such as perceived images of the enemy, the war’s aims and purposes, as well as the behavior of the troops portrayed by the war correspondents. My primary purpose is to shed light on the Turkish popular press, which weighed in on the issues of nationalism, defeat and political campaigning just as its Russian counterparts did. Ultimately, this article argues that the emergence of a critically debating public sphere in Russia and Turkey demonstrates how both empires experienced modernity in the sense that most Europeans understood it.

Abstract:

Abstract The main characteristics of any given social group are defined through comparisons with members of other communities and result from a complex interplay. Identity and alterity are thus constructed simultaneously and interdependently in accordance with group representations emerging from various sources: direct contact through travelling, mere legends or more verifiable accounts, scientific or fictional works, press articles tackling diverse topics, school textbooks, almanacs, etc. The British and the Americans were not identified as the most noteworthy alterity figures by the Romanian mentality of the modern period, but they were surely perceived distinctively from other foreigners. Despite the cultural and/or geographical distance between Transylvania, Wallachia and Moldavia, on the one hand, and Great Britain and the United States of America, on the other hand, towards the end of the 19th century average Romanians were able to interwove information gathered from a wide range of sources and to transform it into realistic depictions of these two countries and their inhabitants. This process of defining the Other combined diachronic and synchronous tendencies, fiction and facts, stereotypes and truth. By synthesising the work done by previous researchers, the present study provides an overall image of the ways in which Great Britain and the United States of America were perceived by Romanians throughout the 18th and 19th centuries.

Abstract:

This study is carried out in partnership with the company CAVEO, manufacturer of leaf springs for vehicles. It concerns the development of a numerical model intended to follow the space-time temperature evolution of a leaf during two processing operations: hot cambering and quenching. This leaf is of a parabolic profile, made of EN-51CrV4 steel (AISI-6150). After austenitization, it passes through a cambering operation to confer it the desired deflection and then a quenching operation. This quenching is carried out in an oil bath to achieve better mechanical properties. The prediction of the temperature during quenching involves determining the heat transfer coefficient between the leaf and the oil bath. This coefficient is determined by quenching, under the same conditions as the leaf, using a standard probe of the same steel. The numerical model is based on the resolution of the transient heat equation by considering the heat loss flows towards the heterogeneous environment (ambient air, press contact and quenching oil). The results obtained by this model give the space-time temperature evolution of the leaf from the exit of the heating furnace to the exit of the oil bath. The numerical results are compared to the experimental profiles obtained through thermographic images throughout cambering and quenching operations. These results are consistent with experimental results.

Abstract:

Admission to Elementary School is a time of transition and it often allows the first contact of the child with a teaching book. Who does this child meet in the book? Which elements of constitution of child being are communicated? In this article, we intend to answer these questions through a qualitative descriptive research, which aims at describing and analyzing social representations of childhood in the pictures of the first part of Ápis Língua Portuguesa – 1º ano (2017). The study departs from the description of elements that constitute pictures for comprehension of social representations (MOSCOVICI, 1978) which are present there, discussing them, based on the concept of language as a constitutive part of the human being (VYGOTSKY, 1989, 2008), and on studies on childhood (STEARNS, 2006). When interacting with the teaching book, students have access not only to knowledge, but also to contact with identity representations. The initial images of the teaching book portrait different origins, as well as physical and individual characteristics of kids. But, diversity of ethnic groups and physical characteristics does not cover social and cultural diversity of Brazilian childhoods, and this does not contribute to student’s subjective constitution.ResumoO ingresso no Ensino Fundamental é momento de transição e possibilita o contato da criança com um livro didático.

Neste artigo, buscamos responder a essas questões por meio de uma pesquisa qualitativa descritiva, que visa a descrever e analisar as representações sociais da infância nas imagens da parte inicial da obra Ápis Língua Portuguesa – 1º ano (2017). O livro foi selecionado pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático (PNLD) 2019 e está presente em muitas escolas públicas brasileiras nas cinco regiões do País. O estudo parte da descrição dos elementos constitutivos das imagens para a compreensão das representações sociais (MOSCOVICI, 1978) presentes, discutindo-as com base na concepção de linguagem como constitutiva do ser humano (VYGOTSKY, 1989, 2008) e em estudos sobre a infância (STEARNS, 2006). Ao interagir com o livro didático, os estudantes não apenas têm acesso a conhecimentos, mas também entram em contato com representações identitárias. As imagens iniciais do livro didático retratam diferentes origens e características físicas e individuais das crianças. Contudo, a diversidade de etnias e as características físicas não dão conta da diversidade social e cultural das infâncias brasileiras, o que não contribui para a constituição subjetiva dos estudantes.ResumenEl ingreso a la Enseñanza Fundamental es un momento de transición y posibilita el contacto del niño con un libro didáctico.

Abstract:

Contemporary studies of Peace Journalism have yet to examine howphotographs, as visual content captured by print media, fit within the modelof Peace Journalism. In this research, a content analysis of press imageswas conducted using predefined methodology on newspaper coverage of theannual July 12th Drumcree Parades (Marching) in Portadown, NorthernIreland, during the pre-, intra-, and post-peace process that occurredbetween 1996 and 2000. In most newspapers, the proportions of bothviolent/aggressive and nonviolent/non-peaceful content were higher in therelatively peaceful period of 2000, as compared to their proportions in at leastone of the other ‘violent’ years of 1996 and 1998. No overall trend in contentwas observed in relation to the level of violence across 1996 to 2000. Duringthis period, media practice in Portadown, Northern Ireland did not support thepublication of newspaper commensurate with actual level of violence in theNorthern Ireland or the depictions of peace building and the peacefulresolution of conflict. The implications of these findings for the developmentof ‘Peace Photojournalism’ are explored.

Abstract:

The present research is about relations between Iran and the West from the communication point of view and the role of the media in creating anti-American and anti-Western sentiments amongst the Iranians. It studies how Occidentalism has evolved in Iran and how, as an ideological representation, it has influenced the press portrayal of the West in the country. It also identifies dominant frames in newspaper reporting of the West and indicates how the perception of reality and meaning construction work in mainstream Iranian newspapers. The present thesis seeks to investigate, through content analysis of news items and critical discourse analysis of news editorials, the impact of political affiliation of newspapers (as the first independent variable) and the political period in which they are published (as the second independent variable) on the representation of the West (as the dependent variable) in Iran. The results and findings of the present study are yet another contribution to the study of the West, particularly in the Iranian context. In fact, the representation of the West in mainstream Iranian newspapers in the way discussed throughout this thesis signifies the creation of a new type of Occidentalism in the Orient, which I here brand as “Iranoccidentalism”. Iranoccidentalism is an ideological concept, which is under the influence of the prevailing discourse; It projects the West, through media, as “arrogant/imperial and interventionist”; It is coupled with anti-Americanism and opposition to the West, and is linked to the history of colonialism and imperialism in Iran as well as the Iranian encounter with modernity; Moreover, it is a reaction to Orientalism and seeks to spread the Islamic ideology of governance and awakening within the framework of the Shiite ideology; Furthermore, Iranoccidentalism pursues a “nativistic” and “nationalistic” approach which manifests itself in the Iranians’ national resolve to develop indigenous technologies such as the nuclear, aerospace and missile technologies as well as biotechnology and nanotechnology. I argue in the course of this thesis that Occidentalism is evolving and turning into a structured discourse in Asia and especially in the Muslim countries of the Middle East, including in Iran where it is under the great influence of the history of relations with the West and in particular the Iranian response to Western-driven modernity.

Abstract:

Un problème relationnel évident entre l’Eglise Catholique et les Média constituait le point de départ de cette thèse de doctorat. Des membres de l’Eglise se plaignent à répétition de la machinerie des Média et leur préférence pour les scandales et des accroches négatives. La critique est que l’image de l’Eglise créée par les Média ne correspond pas à la réalité, les aspects positifs sont souvent ignorés. Mais de quelle façon les Média représentent effectivement l’Eglise ? La thèse répond à cette question en démontrant les conditions de communication médiatiques ainsi qu’en décrivant l’image de l’Eglise dans les discours journalistiques
The relationship between the Catholic Church and the media is apparently difficult. Members of the church frequently complain about the media’s partiality for scandals and negative headlines. The Catholic Church, they say, is portrayed in an excessively bad light, while positive aspects are overlooked. But how does the press actually write about the Church? By illustrating media-related terms of communication and characterizing the Church’s image in press-discourse, the current thesis answers this question.On the assumption that impartial reality is not available and therefore not illustratable, news coverage never reflects reality, but reconstructs it. Reality as transported by the media is affected by ideas about life and moral concepts not only by journalists, but also by editorial boards, cultures and other media-related terms of communication. Thereby, and through factors influencing the selection of news, e.g. focussing on “hot potatoes” and bad news, coverage of the Church turns out one-sided and negative.This thesis is, on the one hand, a media-linguistic investigation, but also uses an interdisciplinary approach by drawing upon knowledge of linguistic sub-disciplines as well as of media- and communication science.In 2009, a sample of 212 articles of Austrian and French daily newspapers was investigated by means of “Inhaltsanalyse” (content analysis) following Werner Früh and “Kritischer Diskursanalyse” (critical discourse analysis) following Siegfried Jäger”. The articles (Austria: Die Presse, Der Standard, Kronen Zeitung; France: Aujourd’hui en France, Le Figaro, Le Monde) were reviewed with regard to content, topic and language. Only such articles were chosen, which were information- and opinion-centred and in line with the editorial board.Additionally, journalists of the mentioned newspapers were interviewed to gain information on the coverage of religious issues and the attitude of the editorial staff towards the Catholic Church.The content analysis was, on the one hand, aimed at the classification of reported topics. On the other hand, news factors should be identified, which were relevant for the selected events. Finally, the content analysis should gain information on to what extent topic structure and distribution of news factors differed between the newspapers.The discourse analysis particularly aimed at classifying content and language of explicit and implicit comments in the articles. In addition, linguistic characteristics of coverage of the Catholic Church should be identified, as far as they allowed conclusions to be drawn with respect to underlying ideologies.Finally, press photos should be analysed in terms of ideological and evaluative contents. Comparison of the different newspapers should permit to trace the individual editorial staff’s principles and identify country-and culture-specific differences, as the relationship between state and church is regulated differently. While in France there is a very strict disestablishment of state and church (Laizism), in Austria there is a system of cooperation, which is founded in a concordat.This thesis shows, that all of the reviewed daily newspapers consider the topic “Catholic Church” as socio-politically relevant. At the same time, no consistent disapproval of the Church by means of the media was visible. This becomes evident by the quite extensive and frequent coverage that expands for example into the rubric “politics”. Furthermore, all of the reviewed newspapers had one journalist being in charge of topics concerning catholic matters, and who was socialised in - and in many cases - is close to the Church
Ein scheinbares Beziehungsproblem zwischen der katholischen Kirche und denMedien bildete den Ausgangspunkt der vorliegenden Dissertation. Ziel war es, dasBild der Kirche im Pressediskurs zu beschreiben. Dazu wurden zum Einen aufbisherige Erkenntnisse zahlreicher wissenschaftlicher Disziplinen zurückgegriffen,zum Anderen JournalistInnen interviewt und schließlich unter Zuhilfenahme derMethoden der Inhaltsanalyse nach Früh und der Diskursanalyse nach Jäger eineumfangreiche korpusbasierte Textanalyse durchgeführt. So konnte in Bezug auf dieder Untersuchung zugrunde liegenden Hypothesen (Abschnitt 1.2) Folgendes festgestelltwerden:Durch die Erörterung relevanter Erkenntnisse der Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaftwurde aufgezeigt, dass die Konstruktion der Medienrealitätzahlreichen Bedingungen unterliegt. Neben der Beschaffenheit des Mediums selbst(technische Möglichkeiten, Einseitigkeit der Kommunikation u.v.m.) beeinflussenzahlreiche Faktoren die Auswahl der Nachrichten (Nachrichtenwerttheorie). Auch dieMedienlinguistik beschreibt mediale Kommunikationsbedingungen, die die Sprache(n) der Medien beeinflussen (z. B. Mehrfachautorenschaft, Mehrfachadressierung,Erscheinungsperiodizität, strategische Prinzipien und Informationspolitik).Die Frage, ob Massenmedien Ereignisse überhaupt objektiv abbilden können,wurde unter Berücksichtigung diverser Medientheorien mit Nein beantwortet.Jegliche Wahrnehmung von Wirklichkeit ist gleichzeitig subjektgebundene Konstruktion.Objektive Realität ist nicht zugänglich. Nichtsdestoweniger ist Realität zumindestteilweise wahrnehmbar und Forderungen nach Objektivität im Sinne eineradäquaten Realitsätsrekonstruktion sind somit nicht von Vornherein obsolet.Medienwirklichkeiten werden nicht nur von JournalistInnen beeinflusst, sondernauch von dahinterstehenden Systemen wie Presseagenturen, Redaktionen oderKulturen.Die Inhaltsanalyse der Zeitungsartikel des untersuchten Korpus in Hinblick aufNachrichtenfaktoren und Themenfrequenz bestätigt die Annahme, dass die Nachrichtenfaktorensowie die Welt- und Wertvorstellungen der RedakteurInnen dieBerichterstattung über die katholische Kirche beeinflussen. Dies zeigt sich in derDistribution der Nachrichtenfaktoren und somit in der Themenselektion sowie in derunterschiedlichen Themenfrequenz.Die Vermutung einer im Verhältnis der Bandbreite kirchlichen Geschehens in derRealität einseitigen Berichterstattung konnte bestätigt werden. Dies war zuerwarten, da die mediale Selektion von Ereignissen bestimmten Regeln und Einflussfaktorenunterworfen ist. Diese sind in der Medien- und Kommunikationswissenschaftbereits umfangreich beschrieben worden. Es stellt sich daher dieFrage, welche Themen ausgewählt werden und welche nicht.Erste Hinweise auf thematische Einschränkungen lieferten die Interviews, diemit den für kirchliche Berichterstattung in den untersuchten Tageszeitungenzuständigen JournalistInnen geführt worden waren. So stellte etwa Stéphanie LeBars (Le Monde) fest, dass Ereignisse, die allzu intern sind, nicht berichtet würden.Die Analyse der Themenfrequenz bestätigte eine Vorliebe der Tageszeitungen fürbestimmte Globalthemen. Das gilt vor allem für kirchliche Tätigkeiten imgesellschaftspolitischen Bereich oder für Ereignisse rund um den Papst. Außerdemberichten alle Tageszeitungen anlassbezogen, d. h. im Rahmen hoher kirchlicherFeste wie Ostern, über religiöse Feiern und Traditionen. Es erwies sich als wahr,dass kontroverse Themen großteils die Berichterstattung bestimmen und dassmanche kirchlichen Tätigkeitsfelder selten bis keine Beachtung finden (z. B.Tätigkeiten der sogenannten Ortskirche auf der Ebene der Pfarrgemeinden). Inkirchenkritischen Zeitungen ist der Anteil kontroverser Themen tendenziell höher alsin kirchenloyalen Zeitungen. Dennoch wird der Kirche auch positive Wirkkraftzugesprochen (z. B. im Bereich des Globalthemas Kirche und Gesellschaftspolitik)

Abstract:

Essa pesquisa busca verificar, comparativamente, a imagem do Brasil colocada em circulação pelo noticiário do jornal espanhol El País, nos anos de 1995 e 2005. Esses períodos foram tomados, respectivamente, como marco do início da intensificação dos aportes financeiros espanhóis no Brasil e como a época em que a presença econômica da Espanha se solidificou, tornando o país ibérico o primeiro europeu em aportes financeiros no Brasil e o segundo maior investidor, no cômputo geral. A aplicação da metodologia de análise de conteúdo em uma amostra de notícias considerada satisfatória por Martin W. Bauer para esse tipo de pesquisa e a observação das principais idéias apresentadas nesses textos jornalísticos permitiram compreender, entre outros, os aspectos brasileiros mais enfocados pelo jornal espanhol. Por meio desse estudo pôde-se constatar aumento no interesse da Espanha pelo país, com a triplicação do número de notícias sobre o Brasil, e a diversificação da cobertura jornalística. Embora o Brasil tenha recebido uma cobertura mais ampla, em 2005, e as notícias econômicas tenham ganhado maior ênfase, o discurso sobre o país foi permeado por estereótipos relacionados a misticismo, exotismo e sexualidade. O aspecto negativo brasileiro mais recorrente no noticiário foi a desigualdade econômico-social.
Through this research we try to verify, comparatively, the image of Brazil put into circulation by the Spanish newspaper El País in the years of 1995 and 2005. These dates were considered, respectively, as a landmark for the beginning of the intensification of Spanish financial aports in Brazil and as the time when the economic presence of Spain was solidified, ranking this iberian country in the first position in Europe concerning financial aports in Brazil, and as the second biggest investor, in the general account. The application of the content analysis approach in a news sample, considered by Martin W. Bauer as satisfactory for this kind of research, as well as the observation of the main ideas presented in these news texts, allowed us to understand, among other things, the brazilian issues most frequently focussed by the Spanish newspaper. Throughout the study we were able to find the increasing interest of Spain towards the country, with the triplication of the number of news about Brazil, and the diversification of news coverage. Although there was a wider coverage on Brazil in 2005, and the economic news were greatly emphasized, the discourse about the country was permeated by stereotypes which related to mysticism, exoticism and sexuality. The most recurrent negative aspect on the news was the social economic inequality.

Abstract:

School and education are topics that are frequent in Swedish media. The intention of this essay has therefore been to investigate the image of teachers and their profession in Swedish daily press. The overall aim has been to analyze how teachers are portrayed in the debate that followed the TV-show Klass 9A, and by that find how the debate defines the concept of a good teacher. The representation that was found was then compared to earlier studies. The series was shown on Swedish television between January and March 2011.26 articles were chosen and the ambition was to have various perspectives represented, such as different voices and also papers from different areas of the country. To define categories in the debate and to find patterns in how the writers discuss the tv-programme, the teachers and the Swedish school system, the method qualitative analysis of content was chosen. As a theoretical framework the dissertation Kunskapens fanbärare has been useful to see if there have been any changes in the constructions of good teachers in the discourse since the 1990's.The investigation shows that the Swedish school still is presented as a school in a deep crisis, and to change this, three factors needs to improve: the teachers need to be more engaging, the teachers education needs to be of higher quality, and the conditions for working teachers has to improve. The conclusions also maintain that there has been a displacement of how the concept of the good teacher is described in daily press, from a more subject orientated teacher, almost an expert, to a more pedagogical teacher who is interested in creating good relations with the students. The most frequent terms that are used in the empirical material to describe the good teacher are foremost enthusiasm and inspiration..

Abstract:

La tesi si inserisce nella discussione intorno al quadro del sistema politico italiano in Germania e analizza le modalità secondo le quali viene trattata la politica italiana nella stampa tedesca “di qualità” nel periodo della cosiddetta “Seconda Repubblica”. Oltre a presentare l’immagine delle istituzioni, dei partiti e dei candidati alle elezioni politiche nei media tedeschi, il lavoro illustra l’origine della percezione e i processi comunicativi che riducono la complessità della realtà nella cronaca politica estera basandosi sulle teorie di gatekeeping, news bias, news values e framing. L’analisi del lavoro quotidiano dei comunicatori mediali (ca. 90 interviste e questionari) e la content analysis di 1.024 articoli mostrano che il quadro del sistema politico italiano nella stampa tedesca non si caratterizza tanto per una valutazione negativa della politica italiana tout court, quanto piuttosto per una forte personalizzazione – con valutazioni costantemente aggiornate – intorno alle figure dei leader politici. La tesi dimostra infine come, diversamente da quanto avviene per le questioni di politica interna, l’orientamento politico delle testate non condizioni fortemente la cronaca politica estera, bensì come ai corrispondenti venga lasciata estrema libertà nella mediazione culturale tra Italia e Germania e nella valutazione dei fatti e personaggi che compongono il complesso panorama politico italiano.
In the ongoing discourse about Italy's political image in Germany, the dissertation adds to the discussion the analysis of the modalities about how the present-day image of Italy's political system is handled in the German media during the so-called “Second Republic”. More than the illustration of Italy´s political institutions, parties and leader images in German media, the paper consults theories of gatekeeping, news bias, news values, and framing handles with the origins of the perception and in particular with the communication processes that reduce the accuracy in political foreign news.The analysis of journalist's daily work through 90 interviews / questionnaires and a content analysis of 1.024 newspaper articles shows that the media image of Italy's political system is not so much characterized as permanently negative as it is a never-ending personalization of Italy's political leaders. Finally, the dissertation shows the political orientation of newspapers in contrast to national news doesn't significantly influence foreign news. Moreover it was demonstrated the processes of perception and communication that take place in foreign news is determinant. Under these restrictions the correspondents are able to use the scope of development for writing articles and judging the events and the characters of Italy's political system.

Abstract:

The master thesis deals with the development and display of advertisem*nt for medicine and health- related products and services in Czech women's magazines. We compare here two periods - The First Czechoslovak Republic and present. It focuses primarily on these following questions: Does the display of health-related products have changed? Do we still advertise products of the similar character? Has the ideal of heath changed and things which were believed healthy in the past, are not considered healthy anymore? Is the difference related to historical events or rather related to the current state of society and its preferences? The main titles for analysis were Eva: A journal of modern women from the 1930s, which was published by Melantrich and current lifestyle magazine Elle, which is published by Hubert Burda Media. The theoretical part summarizes current basic knowledge about press, advertising, healthcare. In the practical part are more closely introduced the research methods - content and image analysis and also the process of analysis and the comparison by itself. An integral part of the thesis is the attached advertisem*nts, on which the analysis was based, and which serve for better illustration of the above-mentioned phenomena.

Abstract:

This thesis focuses on a media image of children's choirs influenced by the so-called "Kulínský Case". The aim of this thesis is to find out how and how often the Czech press informs about children's choirs and if the aforementioned case somehow changed the presentation of this content. The term "Kulínský Case" refers to the controversial case when choirmaster Bohumil Kulínský was found guilty of sexually abusing underage girls. First part of this thesis covers the media theories such as the news values and also describes the concepts linked with choir singing. In the research part, the results of quantitative and qualitative content analysis of three Czech daily newspapers Mladá fronta DNES, Lidové noviny and Právo are presented and interpreted. The analysis is focused on the content published in Prague editions of these three newspapers in two selected time frames. These time frames had been selected in accordance with the development of the "Kulínský Case". The research focuses on the frequency of the published texts, on used genres, newspaper sections and on the meaning and quality of the texts. Afterwards ensues the comparison of the two selected time frames. Furthermore, the last part of this research is focused on the media coverage of the death of Bohumil Kulínský by the online news...

Abstract:

At the end of the nineteenth century, the Balkans were animated by cultural movements and socio-political turmoil with the onset of the collapse of the empires. Around the same period, the proliferation of print media and the arrival of moving images gradually transformed urban life, and played an important role in the creation of national and regional cultures. Based on archival research that explores previously overlooked footage and early press materials, Early Cinema, Modernity and Visual Culture: The Imaginary of the Balkans is the first study on early cinema in the region from a transnational and cross-cultural perspective. This book investigates how the unique geopolitical positioning of the Balkan space and the multicultural identity of its communities influenced and shaped visual culture and the development of early cinema until World War I. It highlights how early moving images and foreign film productions contributed to the construction of Balkanist and semi-colonial discourses. Building on approaches such as ‘new cinema history’, ‘vernacular modernity’ and ‘polycentric multiculturalism’ to counter Eurocentric modernity paradigms and to reframe hierarchical relations between centres and peripheries, this monograph adopts an alternative methodology for interstitial spaces. Using the notion of the haptic, it examines the relationship between the new medium and regional visual culture. By doing so, it establishes new connections between moving image artefacts and print media, early film practitioners and intellectuals, the socio-cultural context and cultural responses to the new visual medium in the Balkan region.

Abstract:

What was the perception of Greece in Europe during the later nineteenth century, when the attraction of romantic philhellenism had waned? This volume focuses on the reception of medieval and modern Greece in the European press, rigorously analysing journals and newspapers published in England, France, Germany, Italy, and The Netherlands. The essays here suggest that reactions to the Greek state's progress and irredentist desires were followed among the European intelligentsia. Concurrently, new scholarship on the historical development of the Greek language and vernacular literature enhanced the image of medieval and modern Greece. This volume's contributors consider the press's role in this Europewide exchange of ideas, explore the links between romantic and late philhellenism and underscore the scholarly nature of the latter. Moreover, they highlight the human aspects of cultural transfers by focusing on networks of mediators, publishers and scholarly collaborators. This context enhances our understanding of both the creation of Hellenic studies and the complex formation of the modern Greek identity.

Abstract:

This chapter examines the structural tension between voice and image in Absalom, Absalom!, relating the novel’s formal resolutions to developments in photography, the printing press, and talking pictures. Considering the cognate set of mid-1930s relationships between word and image in the “photographic essay,” newspapers, and film, the chapter situates Faulkner’s artistic achievements in the context of larger cultural concerns about the storytelling capacity of visual images, the limits of textuality as an indexical medium, and the media’s commercial imperatives. The chapter directly relates these concerns to the tension in Faulkner’s aesthetic ideology between modernistic imperatives and antiquated romantic tendencies, since here the passage between text and image implies the “inheritance” and transmission of a romance gene from one media ecology to another by way of a hypnotizing tall tale. The chapter also looks closely at Pylon, examining a cultural mode of production and its relationship to capitalism more generally.

Abstract:

This chapter views the New-York Tribune and the New York Times—the first in the industry to use skyscraper architecture as the medium for corporate image construction—in the context of the growing power of the press. In the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the city was reimagined with new patterns of circulation, spaces, conduits, and nodes of power. Alongside the growth of the banking and insurance industries, the press colonized lower Manhattan and the value of land rose precipitously. New construction and printing technology required capital investment and new forms of corporate governance. Media architecture transformed from rented space in low buildings to purpose-built signature buildings with lawyers, press agents, and advertising firms as tenants. The shift to taller buildings reveals a preoccupation with both the symbolic and economic value of the skyscraper, as media content became more attentive to the built environment.

Abstract:

The rich and expanding rhetorical universe of the English Renaissance annexed the expressive possibilities of painting and the plastic arts using a variety of figures and tropes. These—ekphrasis (intense description), blason (anatomizing description), paragone (the contest between the arts), and emblems and imprese (formal verbal-visual symbols)—allowed English writers to press the visual into the service of the verbal, creating powerful rhetorical tools and distinctive literary expression. This article describes the development of these verbal-visual tools from the late medieval period through the early seventeenth century by Italian art theorists and in the exemplary works of Sidney, Spenser, and Shakespeare.

Abstract:

This chapter demonstrates that inscriptions of female images in Cairo’s late nineteenth-century nationalist press were part of a discursive economy shaping debates on how gender roles and gendered expectations should shift as Egyptians struggled for independence. The chapter investigates content and placement of ‘news from the street’ in al-Mu’ayyad in the 1890s, examining how these terse local reports – equivalent to faits divers in the French press – contributed to the construction of an ideal national political trajectory with representations of women serving as the primary example in shaping a politics of newspaper intervention on the national scene. In this, an emerging advocacy role of newspaper correspondents makes the newspaper a mediator in the construction of activist reader-citizens.

Abstract:

Media-produced images of people on the move and religion influence our conceptions of migration. These images have varied content and intent. Some provide awareness of the frequently disturbing situation of people who have lost everything, who have had to leave their homes and families and are desperately searching for new possibilities. Others exploit the traumatic topic and the fate of its subjects to entertain their audience with sensational news, which may include images of vast streams of people making their way to a safe haven in new countries. The mediatization of the phenomenon of flight introduces new pictures and perceptions into current debates about migration. It also requires that we interrogate how we view and engage such images and audiovisual documents. Ethical debates about responsibilities combine with questions about the role of religion and its functions. The present volume approaches the subject of migration and religion from an interdisciplinary perspective with a focus on audiovisual representation. The contributions consider feature films, documentaries, television reports, short films, and press photos.

Abstract:

This chapter reviews the book Looking Jewish: Visual Culture and Modern Diaspora (2012), by Carol Zemel. In Looking Jewish, Zemel explores normative historical accounts of “Jewish art.” She probes a “diasporic position” between the Scylla and Charybdis of the nation and the modern, offering a detailed analysis of an array of visual artifacts and their creators. The book features “pictures by Jewish artists that deal with the status and character of Jews in modern diasporic communities.” The art and artists are characterized by the notion of standing on a threshold—at the edge of place, on the cusp of time. Through her meticulous and engaging readings of images in their historical context, Zemel examines the notion of diaspora as an analytical term and its particular meaning for Jewish studies.

Abstract:

This chapter is aimed to put the matter of how is a country image able to be constructed in hand through the medium of the online press, by evaluating The New York Times (USA), The Daily Express (England), Spiegel Online International (Germany), and Le Monde Diplomatique (France) in terms of “Turkish image and identity” throughout four months (January-April) in 2019. The author uses Van Dijk's discourse analysis approach that is based on two main principles, macro and micro discourse analysis, and the content analysis technique. It is possible with this evaluation to determine how Turkish image and identity is established and what kinds of images, expressions, and representations are used by the foreign press, as well as their approach to Turkish identity.

Abstract:

Chapter 3 explains how the Black Press featured the overt display and sexualization of black women’s bodies in the context of bathing beauty contests and recreation on public beaches and pools. The Black Press worked to transform pernicious notions of heterosexual black women as ugly, mannish, and uncivilized and meet their readers’ imagined desire for respectable and sexual images of African American women. However, chapter 3 also argues that this transformation was dependent on the demonization of black lesbians whom the Black Press cast as dangerous and predatory. Chapter 3 concludes that black bathing beauties’ photographs challenged vicious white stereotypes and aided a new generation of African American women’s attempts to reconstruct their public image even as they rendered the black lesbian as the embodiment of depravity.

Abstract:

Chapter 5 details how Black Press news coverage produced a black public sexual sphere that allowed readers to debate hom*osexuality and gender-noncomforming expression’s position in early-twentieth-century black communities. As the Black Press worked to transform negative images of blackness, they held hom*osexual life and gender-nonconformity up as a spectacle that could not seamlessly fit into notions of African American respectability. Nonetheless, regular coverage in the Black Press proved that editors believed that readers enjoyed reading articles and viewing images about female impersonators and gay men. In presenting readers’ responses to this coverage, chapter 5 draws attention to instances of contest and negotiation between diverse African American readers as they struggled to understand the intersections between race, gender, and sexuality.

Abstract:

The chapter departs from the controversy about the ‘Muhammed Caricatures,’ interpreted as a religious war between comparable fundamentalist positions (ban of pictures vs. freedom of press), and analyses the iconographic tradition the individual cartoons refer to. Their pictorial rhetoric, typical for the genre's tension between critique and defamation, initiates a) a theoretical investigation of the genre and its relation to the joke in reference to the psychoanalytic approach (Freud, Kris, Gombrich) and b) an archaeology of the caricature/ pictorial satire beyond the mainstream narrative of the genre, whose origin usually is seen in the invention of ‘caricatura’ as distorted portrait in 16th-century Italy. In contrast, the chapter traces the history of pictorial satire back to the religious war of the 15th century, iconoclasm, and the defamatory image policy of the 14th century (Schandbilder), and interprets the invention of the distorted likeness in relation to the emergence of physiognomics. The last part summarizes these paths in a new theoretical approach to the political theology of the genre, namely, the caricature's two bodies.

Who are the people who create the images and reportage we consume? What ‘makes’ a journalist in the sporting field? More specifically, what drives a woman to break into the all-male citadel of sports media? Sharda Ugra’s perceptive and illuminating first person account of her journey through the media boxes of cricket fields is not just fascinating, but opens up a Pandora’ box where intersecting entities of gender, sports and media interact. Her account brings into the discourse on sports in society the tensions at play among those who report on a sport, the sportspersons, the editors and the constraints of deadlines and media demands. This autobiographical account offers scholars an opportunity to explore sports in the context of those who communicate sports to society.

Abstract:

Chapter One explores images and texts relating to the Haitian president-turn-emperor Faustin Soulouque that appeared in the British press. These representations contained meditations on the Haitian state and the newly-created Haitian Empire. Although they were produced and published in the British context, they reflect the concerns of interlocutors from across the Atlantic World, including the thoughts and words of observers based in the US, France and, of course, Haiti. Faustin Soulouque intervened explicitly in these Atlantic-wide discussions on the significance of the Haitian Empire by providing counter-representations. Such texts and images produced by the Haitian state, this chapter details, were received, read and interpreted in Britain to alter significantly ideas about Haiti. Concomitantly, the future relationship between British imperialism and people of African descent was questioned and made problematic.

Abstract:

Professional sports is rapidly moving in the direction of full commercialization and is a highly profitable business activity worth tens of billions of dollars annually. The professionalization of certain sports disciplines, the multiple increase in the number of transfers and profits in sports, resulted in, inter alia, the emergence of a whole range of new occupations in the sports system. Among them are sports agents who, acting under the authority they have, mediate in sports transfers, or endeavor to bring the sportspersons into a sport organization for the purpose of negotiating the conclusion of an employment contract, or to bring one sports organization in contact with the other for the purpose of negotiating on the conclusion of the transfer agreement. Mediation in sports transfers represents the most common form of activity of sports agents and the typical service they provide to their clients. However, in the conditions of modern sports, sports agents on the contract basis provide their clients with a wide range of other services. These include: representation for the conclusion of various types of contracts, the interpretation of foreign legal regulations (when transferring an athlete abroad), managing client assets, long-term planning of his career, caring for the client's public image, organizing press conferences, etc. The subject of the author's interest in this paper is the consideration of the legal position of sports agents in the negotiations that are being conducted in order to conclude a employment contract or a transfer contract of their clients.

Abstract:

Considered repositories of objects(Cuno 2009), museums have been analysed through the object-oriented policies they mainly focus on. Three main purposes are often mentioned: preservation, dissemination of knowledge and access to tradition. Beyond these informative and cultural-laden functions, museums have also been labeled as theatres of power, the emphasis lying on nation-oriented policies. According to Michael F. Brown (2009: 148), the outcome of this moral standing of the nation-state is a mobilizing public sentiment in favour of the state power. We consider that the constant flow of national and international exhibitions or events that could be hosted in museums has a twofold consequence: on the one hand, a cultural dynamics due to the permanent contact with unknown objects, and on the other hand, some visibility strategies in order to attract visitors. This latter effect actually embodies a shift within the perception of museums from entities of knowledge towards leisure environments. Within this context where the concept of edutainment(Eschach 2007) seems to prevail in the non-formal way of acquiring new knowledge, contemporary virtual museums display visual information without regard to geographic location (Dahmen, Sarraf, 2009). They play ?a central role in making culture accessible to the mass audience(Carrazzino, Bergamasco 2010) by using new technologies and novel interaction paradigms. Our study will aim at analyzing the way in which civilization was e-framed in the virtual project ?A History of the World in 100 Objects, run by BBC Radio 4 and the British Museum in 2010. The British Museum won the 2011 Art Fund Prize for this innovative platform whose main content was created by the contributors (the museums and the members of the public). The chairman of the panel of judges, Michael Portillo, noted that the judges were impressed that the project used digital media in ground-breaking and novel ways to interact with audiences. The two theoretical frameworks used in our analysis are framing theories and critical discourse analysis. ?Schemata of interpretation? (Goffman 1974), frames are used by individuals to make sense of information or an occurrence, providing principles for the organization of social reality? (Hertog & McLeod 2001). Considered cultural structures with central ideas and more peripheral concepts and a set of relations that vary in strength and kind among them? (Hertog, McLeod 2001, p.141), frames rely on the selection of some aspects of a perceived reality which are made more salient in a communicating text or e-text. We will interpret this virtual museum as a hypertext which ?makes possible the assembly, retrieval, display and manipulation? (Kok 2004) of objects belonging to different cultures. The structural analysis of the virtual museum as a hypertext will focus on three orders of abstraction (Kok 2004): item, lexia, and cluster. Dividing civilization into 20 periods of time, from making us human (2,000,000 - 9000 BC) up to the world of our making (1914 - 2010 AD), the creators of the digital museum used 100 objects to make sense of the cultural realities which dominated our civilization. The History of the World in 100 Objects used images of these objects which can be considered ?as ideological and as power-laden as word (Jewitt 2008). Closely related to identities, ideologies embed those elements which provide a group legitimation, identification and cohesion. In our analysis of the 100 virtual objects framing e-civilization we will use the six categories which supply the structure of ideologies in the critical discourse analysis framework (van Dijk 2000: 69): membership, activities, goals, values/norms, position (group-relations), resources. The research questions will focus on the content of this digital museum: (1) the types of objects belonging to the 20 periods of e-civilization; (2) the salience of countries of origin for the 100 objects; (3) the salience of social practices framed in the non-formal teaching of e-civilization/culture; and on the visitors? response: (1) the types of attitudes expressed in the forum comments; (2) the types of messages visitors decoded from the analysis of the objects; (3) the (creative) value of such e-resources.

Abstract:

The human retina discretely samples the visual scene with spatial arrays of sampling elements such as photoreceptors and ganglion cell receptive fields. These sampling operations potentially render the human visual system susceptible to aliasing; if the retinal image changes too rapidly over distances comparable to the spacing between sample points, the visual system can make errors in reconstructing the visual scene. Aliasing can be seen when interference fringes of sufficiently high spatial frequency are imaged on the cone mosaic (reviewed in Williams, in press). Subtle aliasing effects can also be seen when viewing conventional high contrast, high spatial frequency gratings in the periphery (e.g. Smith and Cass, 1987; Thibos, Walsh, and Cheney, 1987; Galvin and Williams, submitted). However, aliasing is remarkably difficult to observe under most normal viewing conditions. Many mechanisms have been suggested as offering the visual system protection against aliasing at various locations across the visual field. This talk will assemble the available evidence in order to weigh the the effectiveness of these proposed mechanisms.

Abstract:

As with all their assets, organizations need management when it comes to their reputation. Having a successful corporate reputation is closely related to how corporations manage their existing reputation. The main components of long-term corporate reputation are categorized as appealing to emotions, product and service quality, vision and leadership, financial performance, workplace environment and social responsibility (Fombrun et al., 2013: 253). Among these components, financial performance is positioned as one of the main factors that come to the fore especially in crisis situations. Financial performance is also an effective factor in building trust in all relationships established with the target audience. Therefore, organizations should reflect their financial performance with a good corporate communication strategy in order to create a solid corporate reputation based on trust. The Covid-19 pandemic, which affected the whole world in 2019, negatively affected many corporations in Turkey economically. In the face of this situation, which can be described as a global crisis, corporations carried out corporate communication activities that support corporate reputation management in order to turn the crisis into an opportunity. It is seen that especially the financial performances of the corporations are highlighted among these activities carried out with the aim of strengthening the positive image of the corporations in the eyes of their stakeholders and the public. Within the scope of this research, the press releases published by five companies operating within the automotive sector in Turkey, among the sectors given in the Sectoral Impact of Covid 19 on the Economy report of Global Times (2020), were examined through the content analysis method in the context of financial performance indicators. The purpose of the research is to reveal how organizations reflect their strategies, which include the elements that reflect their financial performance in their press releases, to the public. As a result of the research, the financial performance indicator that took the most place in all the press releases examined was determined as “competitive advantage”.

Abstract The proliferation of highly concentrated brine drilling fluids systems due to their enhanced performance benefits has instigated a plethora of technical studies on the mechanisms and control of their induced corrosion on downhole drilling tools and tubulars. The majority of these studies often overlook the effect of drill solids on corrosion rates. Therefore, a pragmatic and experimental study was conducted to investigate the effects of various factors on the corrosion rates of downhole tubulars with a streamlined focus on the obscure role of the understudied drill solids; which have not been fully elucidated. Drill pipe corrosion coupons and drilling fluids/solids obtained from 5 similar wells (located in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Canada) were utilized for experimental analysis. Wells 1 to 4 were on the same pad (surface drilling location) drilling the same formation with the same fluid properties, while the 5th well was on a different pad but drilled the same formation with the same fluid properties to exclude disparity. Industry-standard measurement was carried out on the live used corrosion coupon rings, drilling fluids and solids obtained from these wells to determine selected properties. The total solids content analysis was carried out using an OFITE API (American Petroleum Institute) filter press. Weight loss tests on drill pipe corrosion coupons were used to determine field corrosion rates which were bolstered with the Parr Hastelloy autoclave test in the Laboratory. The oxygen content was monitored using Hach 2100Q dissolved oxygen meter. Field data, images and experimental results showed that a rapid and minuscule increase of drill solids (as little as 1% v/v) in the active system can impact corrosion rates greater than chemical additives and even oxygen content. It was discovered that low concentration of solids can produce significant damage and a high corrosion potential in non-viscosified fluids thereby making live monitoring of drilling fluids’ properties a priority to mitigate corrosion. This study fills an important technical gap in corrosion study that is indispensable for the optimization of corrosion control in drilling operations. By carrying out a controlled and investigative study backed up with drilling field data and images, the effects of the less understood drill solids have been partially demystified.

All these elements configure an urban nucleus that, due to its urban, architectural and landscape qualities, gives rise to one of the main tourist attractions of the region. However, the area described nowadays presents an important problem related to the use and habitability of public space, which is invaded by the presence of the private vehicle, even along the seaside, due to its touristic relevance. This article presents the results of an academic experience developed to study different possibilities of urban transformations for the municipality of Altea, taking as a project site the urban vacuum still conserved between the two situations previously described: the historical areas on the coastal elevations (Dalt) and new urban developments parallel to the seaside (Baix). This academic activity, performed by nearly 50 students from the University of Alicante, was developed in the context of the design course Urbanism 5 during the academic year 2015-16, thanks to the agreement signed between the Municipality of Altea and the University of Alicante.

Abstract:

With the rapid arising of wireless technology and other microwave applications towards gigahertz frequency in modern communications, microwave absorbing materials (MAM) are playing an increasingly significant role in healthcare, electronic reliability, and defense security. In this work, we aim to explore multifunctional polymer nanocomposites based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) –epoxy with glass fiber reinforcement, which can be used for microwave absorption and also as structural materials. We fabricated and systematically investigated the mechanical and microwave absorption properties of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) - glass fiber (GF) - epoxy composites. Various MWCNT concentrations (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, and 11 wt%) in epoxy resin have been synthesized by shear-mixing method and the reinforcing GF contents (55, 67, and 74 wt%) were controlled by the number of GF plies in the composites. We used low mechanical stirring to avoid introducing air bubbles in MWCNTs - epoxy solution and implemented a press molding (press forces up to 700 N∙cm-2) during the curing process of the composites to reduce voids in the composites. We studied the mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and microwave absorption properties of the composites, in addition to the morphology and dispersion properties of MWCNTs and GFs in the composites. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) images indicated a more uniform distribution of MWCNTs in epoxy resin than that in the previous work. The microwave absorption measurements of the composites show excellent electromagnetic (EM) wave absorption performance and high reflection loss (RL) at particular frequency range. The maximum RL of the composites can reach to -48 dB at 24.5 GHz for 3.1 wt% MWCNT loadings and 55 wt% GFs in the composites, with an effective bandwidth (i.e., the frequency range for RL below -10 dB) of about ~6 GHz. The EM wave absorption of the composites strongly depends on MWCNT and GF contents and can reach to ~70% at 26.5 GHz with 4.1 wt% MWCNTs in the composite; further, such dependence is peculiar, contradicting to the conventional wisdom, due to the high density interfaces in the materials, which lead to multiple scatterings and multiple absorptions of EM waves. In addition, the tensile strength of the composites was enhanced to ~427 MPa with ~74 wt% GFs, that is comparable to that of commercial Al alloy 6061 (~300 MPa, but not much EM wave absorption). Our results showed that the tensile strength of the MWCNT-GF-epoxy composites was dominated by the contribution of the GF content, while the EM properties are highly impacted by MWCNTs and the interfaces between MWCNT-epoxy matrices and GFs. The mass densities of the composites were about 1.55, 1.73, 1.88 g∙cm-3 for 55, 67, 74 wt% GF reinforced composites, respectively, which are about 30% ~ 43% lighter than the commercial aluminum alloy 6061 (mass density of 2.7 g∙cm-3). The results suggest that the MWCNT-GF-epoxy composites have the potential as multifunctional microwave absorption and low-weight structural materials without the need of additional coating.

Abstract:

The topic concerns the revitalization of a place by the introduction of a new building whose functionality and architectural uniqueness renew and/or develop the place. To put the problem in a broader perspective - the introduction of a building with a non-threatening function and an attractive form makes a declining or stagnant place suddenly appealing again. This applies to both, the built and natural environment. The restauration of both often requires similar revitalization activities and supporting elements.The presented issue is a part of a broader study that concerns architecture as the fine art of building, covering the topic of sustainability in architectural and urban design. The so-called “human factor” is an essential element for shaping a place. It is an element of urban and architectural design of new places. By creating new and different workplaces in declining or stagnant districts, also by introducing unusual architectural forms or materiality, a place can become attractive to users. Previously declining built or natural environment - suddenly become a desirable, growing place. Contemporary international research conducted by neuroscientists confirms the importance of the desire for beauty in ones surroundings. Thus, architectural beauty becomes a vital and economically significant factor in the shaping of the built and natural environment.Present processes of revitalization are usually supported by emphasising elements that make up the “human factor”. It involves balancing the functionality and beauty of an object as important in creating a PLACE in architecture.The topic is presented on the example of architecture of the following buildings:-Gymnasium and Cultural Center in Białołęka, 2006 is located on the edge between urban and landscape areas, on the right bank of the Vistula escarpment. The architectural form reflects the natural landscape. Traditional materiality blends with the context nearly perfectly. -The small buildings of the Cultural Center, 2013, on the outskirts of Warsaw, create a contrast of geometry and materiality to the high-rise blocks of flats. In its shape and material there is a longing for tradition expressed in a balanced, non-intrusive way.-The Krzysztof Kieślowski Film School in Katowice, 2017. The university building for artistic education was tasked to create a PLACE in a declining district. It impresses with its simplicity and its materiality of the traditional material – brick that is presented in a new, changed form. - Stone Pavilion Golędzinow, 2020 is a small building that tells Warsaw residents about nature conservation. The buildings form was created in the image of a post-glacial fossil. It is an object which shape and materiality seems as if taken directly from the natural world. - Press Glass offices in Konopiska, 2021, built in an unexpected place for this type of building. It is located in a former wasteland which was turned into a golf course. The building is intended to promote the excellence of glass - it reflects the green surroundings, and its form builds the uniqueness and beauty of architecture.The co-author of this publication is the designer of the first and fifth example.

Abstract:

The article clarifies of gender identity stereotypes in modern media. The main gender stereotypes covered in modern mass media are analyzed and refuted. The model of gender relations in the media is reflected mainly in the stereotypical images of men and woman. The features of the use of gender concepts in modern periodicals for women and men were determined. The most frequently used derivatives of these macroconcepts were identified and analyzed in detail. It has been found that publications for women and men are full of various gender concepts that are used in different contexts. Ingeneral, theanalysisofthe concept-maximums and concept-minimum gender and their characteristics is carried out in the context of gender stereotypes that have been forme dand function in the society, system atizing the a ctual presentations. The study of the gender concept is relevant because it reveals new trends and features of modern gender images. Taking into account the special features of gender-labeled periodicals in general and the practical absence of comprehensive scientific studies of the gender concept in particular, there is a need to supplement Ukrainian science with this topic. Gender psychology, which is served by methods of various sciences, primarily sociological, pedagogical, linguistic, psychological, socio-psychological. Let us pay attention to linguistic and psycholinguistic methods in gender studies. Linguistic methods complement intelligence research tasks, associated with speech, word and text. Psycholinguistic methods used in gender psychology (semantic differential, semantic integral, semantic analysis of words and texts), aimed at studying speech messages, specific mechanisms of origin and perception, functions of speech activity in society, studying the relationship between speech messages and gender properties participants in the communication, to analyze the linguistic development in connection with the general development of the individual. Nowhere in gender practice there is the whole arsenal of psychological methods that allow you to explore psychological peculiarities of a person like observation, experiments, questionnaires, interviews, testing, modeling, etc. The methods of psychological self-diagnostics include: the gender aspect of the own socio-psychological portrait, a gender biography as a variant of the biographical method, aimed at the reconstruction of individual social experience. In the process of writing a gender autobiography, a person can understand the characteristics of his gender identity, as well as ways and means of their formation. Socio-psychological methods of studying gender include the study of socially constructed women’s and men’s roles, relationships and identities, sexual characteristics, psychological characteristics, etc. The use of gender indicators and gender approaches as a means of socio-psychological and sociological analysis broadens the subject boundaries of these disciplines and makes them the subject of study within these disciplines. And also, in the article a combination of concrete-historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is implemented. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. Also used is a method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-stamped journals. It was he who allowed quantitatively to identify and explore the features of the gender concept in the pages of periodicals for women and men. A combination of historical, structural-typological, system-functional methods is also implemented in the article. Descriptive and comparative methods, method of typology, modeling are used. A method of content analysis for the study of gender content of modern gender-labeled journals is also used. It allowed to identify and explore the features of the gender concept quantitatively in the periodicals for women and men. The conceptual perception and interpretation of the gender concept «woman», which is highlighted in the modern gender-labeled press in Ukraine, requires the elaboration of the polyfunctionality of gender interpretations, the comprehension of the metaphorical perception of this image and its role and purpose in society. A gendered approach to researching the gender content of contemporary periodicals for women and men. Conceptual analysis of contemporary gender-stamped publications within the gender conceptual sphere allows to identify and correlate the meta-gender and gender concepts that appear in society.
