Full textAbstract:
La comunicació família-escola, de qualitat, és essencial per establir bones sinergies entre els dos contextos educatius, ja que sense informació ni diàleg és molt difícil que la relació entre pares i personal docent avanci pel camí de l'enteniment, la confiança, el respecte i la cooperació. Així doncs, aquesta investigació pretén aprofundir en les dinàmiques comunicatives existents entre famílies i professionals de l’educació, detectar les seves debilitats i desafiaments, i proporcionar alguns consells i recomanacions per avançar en la millora de la comunicació família-escola. El mètode que s’ha utilitzat ha estat l’etnogràfic. Específicament, les dades s’han obtingut a partir d'entrevistes amb 200 famílies, docents i equips directius de 20 escoles d’educació primària situades en diferents comunitats autònomes d'Espanya, juntament amb observacions i anàlisi de documents, webs i blocs. Els resultats revelen l'existència d’un patró de comunicació àmpliament compartit per les escoles estudiades, el qual segueix arrelat en antigues dinàmiques i es caracteritza per l'escàs ús de mitjans digitals per a la comunicació bidireccional. Els resultats també mostren que la preeminència d’una comunicació unidireccional, el vincle que sovint s’estableix entre comunicació i missatges negatius, la ineficàcia de certs canals on els nens actuen com a intermediaris, la freqüència d'ús d'alguns mitjans i la dificultat de conciliar la vida familiar i laboral d’alguns progenitors són deficiències centrals de la comunicació actual.
Així doncs, per superar aquestes i altres debilitats que emergeixen de l’estudi, s'ha dissenyat un conjunt de pautes i estratègies, les quals posen l'accent en el què, el quan i l’on comunicar. Aquesta investigació, a més, també té clares implicacions per a les polítiques públiques en considerar la formació docent com el primer pas necessari per millorar la comunicació entre la família i l'escola.<br>La comunicación familia-escuela, de calidad, es esencial para establecer buenas sinergias entre ambos contextos educativos, ya que sin información ni diálogo es muy difícil que la relación entre padres y personal docente avance por el camino del entendimiento, la confianza, el respeto y la cooperación. Así pues, esta investigación pretende profundizar en las dinámicas comunicativas existentes entre familias y profesionales de la educación, detectar sus debilidades y desafíos, y proporcionar consejos y recomendaciones para avanzar en la mejora de la comunicación familia-escuela. Para ello, se ha utilizado el método etnográfico. Específicamente, los datos se obtuvieron a partir de entrevistas con 200 familias, docentes y equipos directivos de 20 escuelas de educación primaria situadas en diferentes comunidades autónomas de España, junto con observaciones y análisis de documentos, webs y blogs. Los resultados revelaron la existencia de un patrón de comunicación ampliamente compartido por las instituciones educativas estudiadas, el cual sigue enraizado en viejas dinámicas y se caracteriza por el escaso uso de medios digitales para la comunicación bidireccional. Los resultados también mostraron que la preeminencia de una comunicación unidireccional, el vínculo que a menudo se estable entre comunicación y mensajes negativos, la ineficacia de ciertos canales donde los niños actúan como intermediarios, la frecuencia de uso de algunos medios y la dificultad de conciliar la vida familiar y laboral de algunos padres son deficiencias centrales de la comunicación actual. Así pues, para superar estas y otras debilidades que emergen del estudio, se ha diseñado un conjunto de pautas y estrategias, las cuales ponen el acento en el qué, el cuándo y el dónde comunicar. Esta investigación, además, también tiene claras implicaciones para las políticas públicas al considerar la formación docente como el primer paso necesario para mejorar la comunicación entre la familia y la escuela.<br>High-quality family-school communication is essential to establish positive synergies between the two educational contexts (families and schools) since, without information or dialogue, it is quite difficult for parents and teachers to advance along the path of understanding, trust, respect and cooperation. Thus, this research aims to develop a better understanding of the communication dynamics between families and school staff, as well as the weaknesses and challenges thereof, in order to provide some tips and recommendations to improve family-school communication. To this end, an ethnographic approach was adopted. Specifically, the data were obtained from interviews with 200 families, teachers and school managers from 20 primary schools located in different autonomous communities in Spain, from observations and from document, web and blog analysis. The findings revealed a common pattern of communication among the educational institutions studied, which is rooted in old dynamics and is characterized by the scant use of digital media for two-way communication. The findings also showed that the main shortcomings of current communication are the prevalence of one-way communication; the link often made between communication and negative messages; the ineffectiveness of some channels when children act as mediators; the frequency of use of some media; and the challenges of work-family balance. Thus, in order to overcome these and other shortcomings emerging from our research, a set of guidelines and strategies has been devised, which emphasizes what, when and where to communicate. This research also has clear implications for public policy since it considers teacher training as the first step towards improving family-school communication.

Full textAbstract:
Individuals born after 1980 are often immediately labeled with the term, "digital generation". This label assumes that young people are fluent, proficient, and constant users of digital media. This thesis explores digital communication behavior in the context of political communication. This thesis begins with an exploration of how age influences digital political communication, finding that while young people prefer digital media more so than older generations, they are less likely to utilize those media to communicate with government officials. Following the age comparison, this thesis examines race, income, and education as indicators for digital political communication. This thesis utilizes secondary data analysis of surveys collected by PEW Internet & American Life Project between 2003 and 2009. The findings herein suggest that although young people prefer digital communication in politics, the millennial generation continues to lag behind older generations in actual digital political communication behavior. Additionally, this thesis finds that young people falling into minority groups, with low-income and low-education are less likely to utilize digital political communication media than older Whites with high-income and high-education.<br>Master of Arts

Full textAbstract:
Objectives: This study identifies modern information technologies that can improve the clinical practice of Picture Archiving and Communication Systems (PACS) and determines the approaches that are needed to improve the functionality of current PACS to provide better next generation PACS and to improve the future of radiology practices and workflow with future PACS generations. Method: A parallel mixed method approach was adopted including qualitative method (semi-structured interviews), quantitative method (questionnaire survey) and observation of online discussion groups on PACS. Five databases were searched to find salient literature, including Science Direct, Springer Link, Scopus, CINAHL Plus and Google Scholar. Six radiologists were interviewed and questionnaires were collected from 120 radiologists. Four online discussion groups related to PACS were monitored via LinkedIn. The data were analysed thematically using the thematic analysis method. Finally, a focus group was held with a separate group of radiologists to validate the findings. Results: Eight themes emerged from the thematic analysis of the data: (1) limitations of traditional PACS; (2) user needs and requirements that can increase PACS functionality; (3) Web based solutions of PACS; (4) PACS on mobile phones; (5) Vendor Neutral Archive (VNA); (6) full integration of voice recognition in PACS; (7) backup solutions for the system and (8) continuous training for PACS users. Discussion: With the development of healthcare information and communication technology (ICT) and with the increased demands of the radiologists to expand PACS usability, traditional PACS must be updated to follow the changes. Modern technologies can provide better solutions to enhance the functionality of current PACS. The next generation of PACS can fulfil the future requirements of users. This study considers the issues between the needs and requirements of the users of a PACS system in the future and the developing solutions in ICT and the PACS industry. Moreover, highly developed PACS systems with advanced features will have a direct impact in changing and improving radiology workflow. Accordingly, a model has been developed that proposes new features for the next generation PACS system, which may be applied to the next generation radiology practice. The model was validated with the focus group and, by using a separate group of radiologists in another country, was determined to be generalisable. Conclusion: It is widely recognised that traditional PACS must be updated to adopt recent advances in ICT. This research has identified themes that, when incorporated, will enhance the functionality of PACS and radiology workflow and provide better quality clinical practice. The findings from this empirical research can be used: as recommendations to vendors; for technology development; and by medical institutes to consider aspects when undertaking implementation of PACS and training future radiologists. Keywords: 'Picture archiving and communication system’, PACS, Future trends, next generation, Organisational efficiency, Productivity, Clinical practice, Ubiquitous.

2009 - 2010<br>Institutional communication has been a controversial issue for many years now in Italy; at least as concerns the difficult challenge of putting effective communication on a national scale between the citizenship and the State in place. Most likely what is lacking is a well defined policy of strategic planning to rectify in part what Rolando (1998) sees as "institutional communication activities conceived as random initiatives rarely destined for structured balance sheets or as part of constituted professional nuclei" and which Faccioli considers "no longer the exception but still not the rule" (F. Faccioli, 2001). We are not yet verge on the verge of a communicational revolution although over ten years have passed since Italian Legislation (the so-called Bassanini, Law no.59/97, Law no.241/1990 and Law no.150/2000 which specifically regulates Public Communication and is considered both the point of arrival and at the same time, departure point of the transformation process.) was passed with the aim of putting communication at the core of the evolution in act in the public administration (PA), communinication considered as "a strategic resource capable of drastically redirecting the pathway in evolution of the PA in order to build a tight network of relations with the community of reference, based above all on trust and consensus" (Cuomo et al, in Metallo et Al, 2009)...[a cura dell'Autore]<br>IX n.s.

Full textAbstract:
Library users are constantly expecting new services, which puts tremendous pressure on academic libraries to re-organise their work patterns and devise better ways of service delivery in order to remain relevant. Although there are a lot of developments taking place in terms of information and communication technology (ICT), academic libraries in Sub- Saharan Africa are at different levels of ICT deployment both between different countries and within the same countries. The aim of this study is to determine the status of ICTs in Academic libraries in Central Uganda. The descriptive study employs a survey methodology gathering both quantitative and qualitative data. Data was collected from library staff responsible for the day-to-day management and administration of ICT at 17 of the 22 academic libraries in Central Uganda using survey questionnaires and interviews over a period of twelve months. Findings indicate that there is an improvement in the status of ICTs in academic libraries in Central Uganda although they are deployed at a minimum level. Funding, power fluctuations and low bandwidth still pose a major threat to ICT adoption in academic libraries in Central Uganda. This report informs government, libraries, LIS schools, LIS professional bodies and policy makers on the future course of action regarding ICT deployment and curricula. Notably, there is need for government to support infrastructural development; engage in public-private partnerships for infrastructural developments; exempt taxation of ICT equipment and supplement funding at universities. Libraries should dedicate more funds to purchase ICT equipment; automate all library functions; develop local capacity to manage ICT projects; promote awareness about ICT services and support initiatives from local and international library associations. LIS schools should conduct a curriculum review to reposition the LIS study program to the present and future needs of the job market; monitor and advice government on policy issues affecting higher education include the need to align ICTs to national development. LIS professional bodies need to champion the cause for the standardization of LIS study programs, promote networking and knowledge sharing; articulate national e-strategies and play advisory role to government, LIS schools and libraries.<br>Mini Dissertation (MIT)--University of Pretoria, 2016.<br>Carnegie Corporation of New York<br>Information Science<br>MIT<br>Unrestricted

Full textAbstract:
Marknaden inom e-handel drivs till stor del av aktuella trender, vilka är med och utmanar både marknaden och företagen. Trender i sin tur drivs framåt av dagens teknologi som hela tiden utvecklas. För att ett företag ska kunna överleva på marknaden är det viktigt att hålla jämna steg med trenderna och teknologin. Det är inte bara marknaden som ställer högre krav på företagen och deras tjänster. Konsumenter är snabba med att uppfatta de nya trenderna och teknologier, och ser det som en självklarhet att företag ska omfamna dessa och implementera dem i tjänsterna. Marknadens nya standarder leder till högre krav och förväntningar hos konsumenterna. I och med det förväntas tjänsten att bli än smidigare och smartare att använda. Så för att hålla företagets kundbas nöjd och möta deras krav, måste man även arbeta med tjänstens användbarhet. För att kunna implementera trender rätt i tjänsten och ha en chans att konkurrera på marknaden, är användbarhet inte bara ett måste utan även ett kraftfullt medel. Med god användbarhet följer en bra kundupplevelse. Vilket innebär att kunderna lämnar tjänsten med ett gott intryck och därmed är chansen större att de återkommer. Grunden för en bra tjänst med nöjda kunder är hög användbarhet i kombination med aktuella trender. Denna rapport är ett examensarbete bestående av en förstudie om hur man utvecklar en webbshop för optik med fokus på användbarhet och aktuella trender. Arbetets resultat är generella riktlinjer inför utvecklingsprocessen av webbshoppen.<br>Trends are part of shaping the market standards and keep challenging the competition to stay on their toes. E-commerce is a fast growing field, a lot due to the rapid evolution of technology. As a result, new trends emerge and form the market once again. Followed by new trends are new possibilities and measures, which lead to higher demands and expectations from the consumers. To manage an e-business successfully it is a prerequisite to stay updated with the current e-commerce trends to be able to keep up with the competitors. To be able to embrace trends and keep up with the competition, a great mean is usability. It is vital to any kind of service to have a good usability, and to maintain it regularly, for it’s chances of survival in the harsh competition. For returning consumers it is important to listen to their expectations, and see to it that the service meet their needs with user-friendly functions. Since the experience of the service is what stays with them. Usability is the backbone of the service, ensuring the user journey to be as smooth as possible, and enhance both the service itself and the consumers’ experience. So it is not sufficient enough to only implement current trends into the service. Without good usability to complement with – neither the trends nor the service will reach their full potential. This paper is a pre-study and a result of a degree project, and covers general guidelines for the development of a web shop for optics. The guidelines are based on research on usability and current e-commerce trends. To produce these guidelines, methods such as Brand Experience Workshop, Creative Session and interviews with the target group have been executed.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this descriptive qualitative study was to establish guidelines for planning future public school facilities based upon identified global, societal, and educational trends that would most likely highly impact upon the types of public school facilities that will be built in the future. Based upon an extensive literature review, interviews with educational practitioners and facility specialists, and on-site visits to 15 schools in four states, 66 guideline elements were developed. These elements were submitted in a questionnaire/rating sheet format to a researcher-selected jury of 13 national educational facility planning specialists (100% Response Rate) for their evaluations. The five sections for which the final set of guidelines were established were: (1) Planning, Design, and Site Selection; (2) Environmental Enhancement Factors; (3) Space Utilization; (4) Technology; and (5) School and Community Service Areas. The findings were that all 66 guidelines were rated as essential, highly desirable, or significant by the jurors. The major conclusions reached from the study were several: (1) Educational practitioners advocated systematic, proactive, long- and short-range facility planning. This planning should be broad-based and pluralistic with flexibility, mobility, and adaptability as the cornerstones of the school design process. All planning should be based on both "hard" and "soft" data. Planning should also be both bottom-up and top-down with maximum information shared with the stakeholders. (2) Aesthetic, psychological, and behavioral environmental enhancement factors were key areas in future school designs. Facilities should be student-centered and "user-friendly" with an external welcoming appearance. The selection of the school site was extremely important, also. (3) Schools should be designed to offer optimal comfort to all inhabitants with flexible spaces where teachers and students can learn, relate, and explore. Schools and communities should share resources if possible.

Full textAbstract:
I denna kandidatuppsats besvaras frågan om vilka designlösningar på förpackningen till en olivolja som i butikssammanhang positionerar sig som mer exklusiv och därmed bidrar till att målgruppen inhandlar produkten. För att ta reda på detta har observationer på sådana olivoljeflaskor gjorts i tre utvalda butiker. Utifrån dessa observationer har sedan en trendanalys gjorts. Med utgångspunkt ur trendanalysen har ett designarbete gjorts där fyra olika olivoljeförpackningar tagits fram baserade på element som används på en majoritet av dagens olivoljeförpackningar som positionerar sig som mer exklusiva. Förpackningarna är 3D-modeller modellerade i 3D Studio Max och etiketterna har skapats i Illustrator och Photoshop och har i den sistnämnda programvaran sammanfogats med förpackningarna. Med hjälp av bärbar eye-trackingutrustning fick fyra deltagare se de framtagna förpackningarna och med blicken svara på frågor angående dessa. Förpackningarna visades med hjälp av en projektor på en vägg, i naturlig storlek och uppradade på en simulerad butikshylla. Efter detta intervjuades deltagarna genom att använda kvalitativa frågor angående deras åsikter om olivoljeförpackningarna. Resultaten visar att varumärkesnamnets utformning är viktigt samt att en förpackning till en olivolja som positionerar sig som mer exklusiv bör vara gjord av glas, vara mjuk och följsam, samt innehålla ett mönster på etiketten. Form och mönster är de element som verkar vara de mest minnesvärda elementen och för att locka målgruppen är det viktigt med en förpackning som sticker ut på butikshyllan. En alltför innovativ form är inte att rekommendera medan en innovativ etikett kan vara fördelaktig. Tidigare erfarenheter har en betydelse vid val av förpackning och varumärkesnamn, produktbeskrivare och produktnamn bör tydligt uttryckas. Det är även fördelaktigt om designlösningen får konsumenten att vilja använda förpackningen som en del av köksinredningen. Färger, ovanliga för denna typ av produkt, kan skapa ett positivt ”hyllintryck” och färger som associeras till positivitet, värme, sol och energi kan i synnerhet locka konsumenter inom målgruppen. Symmetri i utformningen av etiketter för olivoljor som positionerar sig som mer exklusiva är fördelaktigt liksom användningen av en ljus nyans i etiketten i kontrast till ett mörkare textelement och/eller grafiskt element.<br>In this bachelor thesis the question regarding which design solutions, concerning the packaging to an up-market olive oil, contribute to the target group purchasing the product. To find out, observations on the up-market olive oil packaging of today was made in three selected stores. Based on the observations a trend analysis was made. With this analysis as a base, a design task, where four different olive oil packages were produced. These packages were based on elements frequently used on the present olive oil packaging. The packages are 3D-models made in 3D Studio Max and the labels were made in Illustrator and Photoshop. The labels were then merged with the packages using Photoshop. Using portable eye-tracking equipment, four participants were shown the four different olive oil packages, and got to answer questions concerning these packages, by using their eyes. The packages were shown through a projector, on a plain wall, in natural size and lined up on a simulated store shelf. Afterwards the participants answered qualitative questions regarding their opinions concerning olive oil packaging. The results show that the formation of the brand name is of importance and that a packaging for an up-market olive oil should be made out of glass, have a streamlined shape and a label that contains a pattern. The most memorable elements seem to be shape and pattern and in order to attract the target group, it is important to use a packaging design that stands out on the store shelf. An overly innovative shape is not to be recommended, but an innovative label can be beneficial. Prior experiences are of importance when choosing a packaging and brand name, product descriptor and product name should clearly be expressed. It is also beneficial if the design solution makes the consumer want to use the packaging as a part of the interior design in the kitchen. Colors unusual for this type of product can be used to create a positive ‘shelf impact’ and colors associated with positivity, warmth, sun and energy can especially tempt the consumers of the target group. Symmetry in the layout of the labels for up-market olive oil is beneficial as well as the use of a light color tone on the label in contrast to a darker text element and/or graphic element.

The paper also includes material from books, article and various websites.</p><p>Main results: In order for advertising agencies to create successful advertisement and to generate positive associations around a certain brand, it’s crucial that the advertisement is relevant for the target group. The advertisement and the brand need to be looked upon as genuine and ’real’. In order to create that type of ads and generate a positive outlook for the brand the advertisement needs to be researched properly. In order for agencies and it’s clients to reach their intended target group by using new media their is a need to create ads that provide value for the consumer. The bottom line seems to be that in order to make successful advertisements today you need to work harder, you need to know your brand more intimately and more than ever you need to have extensive consumer insights on a deeper level.</p>

Full textAbstract:
In this study we are seeking to discover the norms in the design of logotypes and how they havechanged over time. To achieve this we have chosen to analyze the logotypes of twenty companies withthe largest expenditure on advertising in Sweden. We mapped chosen design attributes within the logoto discover the similarities and then we selected the five oldest brands to analyze how their logos havechanged over time. The design changes in the logotypes over time is can be related to the changingattitudes of the general public and the designers ambitions to draw on convention to create iconic designthat will spark brand-recognition. However many changes can’t be directly explained through changesin convention. Logotype design is deeply connected with technology and foremost what optionstechnology can offer in the form of design. The digital revolution has impacted the norms of logotypedesign and we are now seeing that logotypes have adapted to the digital era. Later versions of populardesign software, enables designers (and also non professionals) to easily enrich logotypes using 3Deffectsand levels of gradients. Parallel to this evolution in design, we can draw a conclusion that theprinciples of a simplistic design, with fewer design elements, and the principle of versatility, has gainedground. Today’s logotypes need to have fever elements in order to be functional in really small sizes andversatile to be able to function in many different digital environments.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, the author examines the last 131 days of the 2016 election cycle. This analysis focuses on how sentiment is present on Twitter when people engage in political communication on social media. With the increasing online political discussions created on social media such as Twitter, an analysis of sentiment is critical. The data could be obtainable for candidates to estimate the electorate’s opinion of each candidate. A shift of sentiment offers a deeper insight into tracking changing attitudes toward candidates. Because Twitter only allows each tweet to be 140 characters there is a simplicity that offers statements to be concise. Trends for each candidate throughout the final days of the election cycle are correlated with national polls to assess if there is a relationship present. This study applies sentiment to recognize trends that may estimate a candidate’s chance of winning the election and offers indications as to how the intended electorate may vote when a relationship is established between sentiment and national polls.

<p> The purpose of this study is to explore the rhetorical functions of references to God and the Bible in the first presidential inaugural addresses from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Barack Obama. The Inaugural Address serves to reunite the nation after the division of an election. The language used in this address reflects the culture and identity of the nation it speaks to. Through a modern rhetorical analysis of the inaugural addresses from 1933-2009, this thesis aims to identify the trends in American religiosity, as can be seen through particular use of references to God and uses of biblical metaphor as a rhetorical and persuasive tool in the inaugural address.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Diante da dificuldade de compreender uma sociedade cada vez mais complexa que reflete comportamentos de consumo múltiplos (inclusive dentro de um mesmo indivíduo, que absorvendo as características da pós-modernidade, é paradoxal), novos métodos de pesquisa são utilizados na tentativa de interpretar com mais precisão o comportamento humano, para analisar suas tendências e transformá-las em diretrizes para as estratégias das marcas. De caráter predominantemente qualitativo e multidisciplinar, a pesquisa de comportamentos emergentes carrega intrinsecamente a tensão dos campos científicos, assim como o Campo da Comunicação, que por envolver diferentes áreas do saber, desempenha, de forma transversal, um papel fundamental na formação, difusão e identificação das tendências socioculturais, fato comprovado por essa dissertação. Por meio de revisão bibliográfica, entrevistas em profundidade, e análise documental, foi possível identificar as definições relacionadas às tendências assim como compreender como elas podem ser aplicadas estrategicamente por empresas de diversos segmentos, para que suas expressividades marcárias, incluindo as ações comunicacionais, sejam sempre relevantes no cenário do consumo. Além disso, verificou-se a ênfase que a comunicação tem no processo pelo qual as tendências se formam e propagam nas dinâmicas sociais. Realizou-se também a identificação e análise dos métodos utilizados pelas empresas especializadas na pesquisa de tendências e constatou-se que um dos principais métodos utilizados é a análise de conteúdo de materiais coletados por monitoramento midiático de diversas áreas da cultura contemporânea, o que, mais uma vez, reforça a importância do campo comunicacional que por abranger práticas culturais como a publicidade, por exemplo, acaba por denunciar o espírito do tempo e os valores em trânsito na sociedade.<br>As a result of the difficulty of understanding a society increasingly complex which reflects multiple consumer behavior (even within the same person, who absorbs the postmodern paradoxes), new research methods are used to interpret the human behavior accurately, to analyze trends and to turn them into guidelines for the brands strategies. Predominantly qualitative and multidisciplinary, the research of trends carries intrinsically the tension of the scientific fields, as well as the Field of Communication, which involves different areas of knowledge and plays a transversal role in formation, dissemination and identification of the sociocultural trends. Through literature review, in-depth interviews and document analysis, it was possible to identify some definitions for trends and to understand how they can be strategically applied by companies in different areas, including communication and marketing actions, to be always relevant in the consumption scenario. In addition, it was possible to confirm the emphasis that communication has in the formation and diffusion process of the trends in the social dynamics. Besides, it was found that one of the main methods used in the identification of new signs of emerging behaviors and values is the content analysis of materials collected by monitoring the media from different areas of contemporary culture, that reinforces the importance of the communication field, which covers cultural practices as advertising, and consequently expresses the spirit of the time and transitional values in society.

Full textAbstract:
Driven by the Internet of Things, devices and appliances will be increasingly connected to each other and the people within the home. In order for the communication to be possible a standard for communication is needed. In many cases there are too many standards, and for other cases there may instead be an absence of standard. This thesis provides a contemporary view of future developments of homes and the current standardization progress. Four domains in homes are investigated: the automated home domain, the sustainable home domain, the healthy home domain and the manufacturing home domain. Trends and technologies are identified that drive a change in homes. Services are described that may be provided in homes. The thesis discusses how services from different domains may be integrated, with a further investigation of the networked manufacturing service and its underlying communication infrastructure. Finally standards are identified and analyzed in regard to the communication infrastructure of the networked manufacturing service. The standardization development is progressing for each home domain. However, potential standard gaps are still present for many of the cross domain device communication. No standard has been identified for integration of services and integration of the business ecosystem in the manufacturing home domain. Similarly there is no standard for the software of 3D printing. New standards or further development of existing standards is needed to realize the networked manufacturing service.

Full textAbstract:
Whereas prior research on artificial intelligence has dealt with automation in fields like medicine, engineering, and computer science, this research study seeks to answer the question, “To what extent can AI be creative in the context of content strategy?” To answer this, this study employs content analysis using 16 online news and blog articles from primarily marketing organizations to identify and explain key variables surrounding the relationship between the computer and the creative professional. This study has found that the core belief that AI will play the future role of creative assistant in the context of content strategy is shared among many online marketing publications. As AI becomes increasingly capable of taking on lower level creative tasks such as content organization, ideation, basic copywriting, and photo editing, many believe this will open up more time for content strategy professionals to accomplish more creatively demanding, big picture tasks.

Full textAbstract:
Video learning material has reported benefits to in-person lectures, and it can improve knowledge transfer (Bishop & Verleger, 2013; Kim, 2013). Modern educational methods such as flipped classroom and MOOCs (MOOC, 2016) depend on implementing video as a learning resource. Furthermore, the traditional linear video has long been challenged by nonlinear video, both in terms of having interactive material (Zhang et al. 2006) and sectioned, indexed contents. In a critical approach (Bardzell, J & Bardzell, S, 2013) we investigated disadvantages to the non-linear way of using video; in particular if non-linear video streamlines the retrieval of information. We conducted an observational experiment to examine the efficiency of non-linear video compared to linear video. Results from the observation experiment conducted in this thesis, shows that the non-linear video group tended to answer less questions, within the same amount of time as the group which used the linear video.<br>Video påvisas förbättra kommunikationen av kunskap genom att förmedla fakta i samband med att visuellt demonstrera information i praktiken (Bishop & Verleger, 2013; Kim, 2013). Moderna pedagogiska metoder som det flippade klassrummet och MOOCs (MOOC, 2016) grundar sig att implementera video som en lärande resurs. Det traditionella linjära videoformatet har länge ifrågasatts genom icke-linjär video, både när det gäller interaktivt material men även segmenterat och indexerat innehåll (Zhang et al. 2006). Med ett kritiskt förhållningssätt (Bardzell, J & Bardzell, S, 2013) undersöker vi det icke-linjära video formatet, i synnerhet om det icke-linjära formatet påverkar effektiviteten av inlärning. Vi har utfört ett observationsexperiment för att undersöka effektiviteten av icke-linjär jämfört med linjär video. Resultaten från experimentet visar på att gruppen som använde icke-linjär video svarade på färre frågor än gruppen som använde linjär videon.

Cette thèse a pour but de construire le concept de « tendance » dans le champ des Sciences de l’Information et de la Communication. Notion fortement investie par les professionnels de la communication, les tendances sont absentes de notre discipline alors même qu’elles sont au cœur des processus de construction de l’identité et de médiation. Cette thèse construit donc ce concept en rapport avec la notion de dispositif et d’archétype. Elle introduit une perspective historique en étudiant comment cet archétype s’est exprimé depuis le XVIIème siècle jusqu’à nos jours. Enfin, elle étudie l’expression et l’utilisation de ces tendances dans notre société, ainsi que leur relation à la mode, au travers d’un support médiatique, le magazine Elle<br>Summary: this work is about building the concept of trends with the help of other concepts found in the Information and Communication Sciences. Today, media and communication professionals all talk about trends, but they are quite silent in our universitary field of expertise, whereas they are helping individuals to define themselves (and each other) and to communicate. We are studying this concept and how it expresses itself in France from the XVIIth century to the XXth especially in the media, like the French magazine Elle, thanks to the concept of “mechanism” (dispositif; created by Michel Foucault) and archetype (created by Jung)

This essay is a study of the various attitudes and behavioral habits for music consumption and discovery of new music amongst young people in Sweden from a receivers perspective. The aim of the study is to review and map out the current trends, habits and cultural views on music consumption. An online survey was posted and spread on Facebook with 195 respondents as a result. The analyzed result and conclusions of the survey was then to be of use for understanding how to market and spread new music more efficiently. The study showed that there are three dominating sources of music for youth in Sweden. Whether it is discovering new music, sharing music, or just consuming music through media platforms, the three dominating trends are; friends, social media and streaming services. The traditional media channels such as TV and radio are losing power compared to earlier generations but are still vital for music marketing when working in symbiosis with positive audience response. Most of the young people in our study use the combination computer-streaming service to listen to music and discover new music through friends. They also value music recommendations from friends the most. A lot of the young people also discover music through social media, such as Facebook. The study showed that the people who discovered music through social media also used social media for sharing music. Ergo, we believe the most important channels to focus on, if you want to reach as many recipients as possible when marketing and spreading new music with young people in Sweden as the target audience, is Facebook and Spotify, while also keeping in mind the importance of Word Of Mouth and Buzz Marketing.

Purpose – The purpose of the study is to understand how a cured meat manufacturing company can succeed with an internal change project when the reason is external triggers from society. With this purpose in mind two research questions have been formulated. They are formulated as followed: <li data-leveltext="%1." data-font="Georgia,Segoe UI" data-listid="31" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Which triggers are the reason for change projects to take place in a cured meat manufacturing company? <li data-leveltext="%1." data-font="Georgia,Segoe UI" data-listid="31" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Which factors are crucial for a successful change project in a cured meat manufacturing company? Method – A case study has been conducted at a cured meat manufacturing company, that previously has been through the work of a change project. 13 semi structured interviews were conducted. The interviewees ranged from top management to workers in the production unit. In addition, all employees received a survey about the change process. On top of this, a document study was conducted. The data that was collected was then analyzed in relation to the theoretical framework and then generated the study’s results. Findings and discussion – the study’s findings show that there is a connection between trends in society and the effect they have on change project through triggers. These connections in this study has a relation to the Leavitt-Ry-theory (Bakka & Fivelsdal, 2006) and Hughes’ triggers theory (Hughes, 2010). The most visible triggers are politics, environment and socio-culture. Trends in society have a direct connection to the outcome of change projects vision and mission, factors which lead the way in the work of a change project. This shows a connection between trends in society and change projects, because of the four identified key factors of a change project. These four factors are vision & mission, targets & sub-targets, communication & dedication and lastly time. Limitations – In this study the focus was on one single case. A company that previously had been through the work of a change project. Interviews were held with collective employees that had taken part in the previous change project, although many of the previous participants had quit their job. Therefore, their impressions/experiences were lost. On top of that the documentation from the previous change project were inadequate. These factors together with the fact that the study only had one case in focus made the generalizability a question for discussion.

Dessa frågeställningar lyder: <li data-leveltext="%1." data-font="Georgia" data-listid="1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-aria-level="1">Vilka triggers finns för förändringsarbeten i ett charktillverkningsföretag? <li data-leveltext="%1." data-font="Georgia" data-listid="1" data-aria-posinset="2" data-aria-level="1">Vilka faktorer är avgörande för ett förändringsarbete inom ett charktillverkningsföretag? Metod – Det har genomförts en enfallsstudie på ett charktillverkningsföretag som tidigare har genomfört ett förändringsarbete i organisationen. Det genomfördes 13 semistrukturerade intervjuer med personer i olika position på företaget, allt från högsta ledning till produktionspersonal. Utöver detta delades det ut en survey till produktionspersonalen där fokus låg på upplevelser från förändringsarbeten. Det gjordes också en dokumentstudie från ett föregegående förändringsarbete. Den data som tagits fram har sedan analyserats i förhållande till det uppställda teoretiska ramverket och har då resulterat i studiens resultat. Resultat och diskussion – Resultatet av studien visar att det finns ett samband mellan samhällstrender och hur de påverkar organisationer och förändringsarbeten genom triggers. Dessa samband har i denna studien stöd i Leavitt och Ry’s teori (Bakka & Fivelsdal, 2006) och Hughes triggersteori (Hughes, 2010). Dessa triggers är främst politik, miljö och sociala aspekter. Samhällstrender påverkar förändringsarbetets vision och mission, faktorer som genomsyrar företaget och visar vägen för förändringsarbeten. Detta visar på ett samband mellan samhällstrender och förändringsarbeten då de fyra faktorer som är avgörande i förändringsarbeten är vision & mission, mål & delmål, kommunikation & engagemang och tid. Begränsningar – I denna studie låg det endast fokus på ett fallföretag. Ett företag som tidigare har genomgått ett förändringsarbete. Det genomfördes intervjuer med kollektivanställda som hade varit med i detta tidigare förändringsarbete, men många av de tidigare deltagarna hade slutat och därför gick deras intryck/erfarenheter förlorade. Dessutom var dokumentationen från detta förändringsarbete bristfällig. Detta tillsammans med det faktum att det var en enfallsstudie som utfördes kan sägas ha minskat generaliserbarheten i studien. Nyckelord – Förändringsarbete, projekt, samhällstrender, omvärlden, vision, kommunikation, charktillverkningsföretag, triggers.
