Full textAbstract:
A circulação de pessoas pelo mundo é facilitada, na contemporaneidade, pelos avanços tecnológicos, porém, ao mesmo tempo, sofre restrições por questões econômicas. Entende-se que a restrição ao ingresso do estrangeiro não mais pode acontecer por decisão totalmente livre do Estado receptor; isso porque as normas internacionais de direitos humanos limitam essa liberdade, ao impedir que ele decida sobre o ingresso de forma desprovida de amarras. Três teorias explicam a relação do Estado com o direito de ingresso. A teoria vitoriana, desenvolvida por Francisco de Vitória, defende que há liberdade total de circulação de pessoas pelo mundo, havendo espaço para restrição tão somente quando a circulação, comprovadamente, causar dano ao Estado receptor do migrante. A teoria do livre arbítrio absoluto do Estado, por sua vez, entende que não existe direito de ingresso e a decisão do Estado não é passível de discussão, pois faz parte do exercício da sua soberania. Atenta às mudanças ocorridas no mundo, inclusive no que tange à soberania, a teoria do controle das decisões estatais, desenvolvida nesta tese, propugna que a decisão tem de ser fundamentada e não pode ignorar os avanços dos direitos humanos e que, portanto, o Estado deve usar a lógica das escolhas trágicas para decidir sobre o ingresso, não havendo mais espaço para uma decisão sem limites. A atuação livre do Estado sofre uma releitura para que suas decisões passem por controle e suas ações sejam interpretadas sob a égide dos direitos humanos. Também experimenta restrições a liberdade dada ao Estado de determinar quem há de se ter por seu nacional, não mais adstrita à sua vontade. São emblemáticos o caso Nottebohm, no qual a Corte Internacional de Justiça impôs limites à concessão de nacionalidade, determinando que ela deve ser contínua, e o caso dos decretos de nacionalidade da Tunísia e do Marrocos, em que a Corte Permanente de Justiça Internacional também se manifestou sobre o tema. Este estudo faz uma análise de como a questão da entrada de estrangeiros é tratada em alguns países do mundo e de como o tema é vislumbrado no Brasil. O trabalho utiliza como fontes de pesquisa a revisão da literatura nacional e estrangeira, a legislação pertinente ao tema, como o Estatuto dos Estrangeiros, a Constituição Federal brasileira, bem como decisões e pareceres consultivos internacionais, além do uso da técnica do direito comparado, exame do direito comparado.If, on the one hand, technology makes travelling easier, on the other, economic matters restrict peoples movement around the world. This thesis defends that restrictions on foreign entry cannot be let to the States sole discretion anymore. The reason for this is that international Human rights rules limit that discretion, attaching strings to the State action. Three theories explain how the States face the right of entry. First, the Vitorian theory, developed by Francisco de Vitória, defends peoples total freedom of movement around the world, while restrictions to this right would be possible only if enough evidence is shown that the migrant could cause damages to the receiving State. Second, the State Total Discretion theory holds that there is no such thing as a right of entry, and the States decision cannot be questioned, because it is the expression of its sovereignty. Last, responsive to the world changes, including on sovereignty, the theory of the Control of the States Decisions, here developed, argues that the State decision has to be justified on solid grounds, and cannot ignore the development of Human rights. Therefore, the State must use the tragic choices rational in order to decide about ones right of entry, with no room for total discretion. According to this thesis, States decisions have to be controlled and its actions must be interpreted under the Human rights aegis. Moreover, this thesis argues that there cannot be total discretion on States decision of classifying someone as a national or a foreigner. Supporting this idea are the emblematic cases of Nottebohm, on which the International Court of Justice imposed limits to the granting of nationality, upholding that this granting has to be continuous, and the case of nationality decrees of Tunisia and Morocco, on which the Permanent Court of International Justice has spoken on the subject. This study examines how the issue of foreign entry is treated in some Countries, specially in Brazil. To do so, this thesis uses as source the Brazilian and overseas literature contained on books, scientific articles and Law.

Full textAbstract:
The objective of this thesis is to research how to use JavaScript to communicate with a legacy JMS broker, specifically OpenMQ 4.1 and implementing a proof- of-concept of this. This proof-of-concept should be able to send and receive JMS messages. The necessary preparations for designing this application was to research possible ways of communicating with different JMS brokers using oth- er languages than Java. This research showed that the only viable method in or- der to communicate with this version of OpenMQ is to create a Java bridge be- tween JavaScript and the JMS broker. The results shows that it's possible to use JavaScript to communicate with OpenMQ 4.1 by using a Java Bridge together with NodeJS. This result is performed by making an integration test, by first sending a message with a certain ID to the API and then receiving a response at the intended response destination with the same ID. The front-end of the proof- of-concept provides a web application UI for performing this integration test. Future improvements of this implementation can be done by extending the Java Bridge and API in such a way that it can be used against many different JMS brokers. The configuration data used can also be stored in more reliable ways, if multiple users are using the API and web application at the same time, for example by using a database instead of JSON files.

Stephan, David Paul. "Just Tweet It: Sports Teams' Communication of CSR on Twitter." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2016. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/6082.
Full textAbstract:
The sports industry has been made distinct from traditional business for many reasons including its body of stakeholders and its position in popular media. For these reasons, corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts and the communication of them in professional sports is known to be addressed differently. The following research has been conducted in order to learn how well professional sports teams are doing to communicate CSR to the particular stakeholders who are also their social media followers. Sports teams' Twitter accounts were analyzed and tweets concerning CSR were identified. Findings suggested that only 3.94% of professional sports teams' tweets were related to CSR. It was also found that intrinsically, market size and on-field team performance do not affect CSR tweeting. When viewed together, however, it has been found that smaller market losing teams tweet more CSR than larger market losing teams while smaller market winning teams tweet less CSR than larger market winning teams. This finding lends insights into the strategic purposes of CSR in the professional sports industry. When small market sports teams do not have a successful season, they seem to restore their reputation via the CSR function more so than larger market teams in a similar situation do. Additionally, winning teams of the larger market tweet more CSR than smaller market winners. The conclusion is that, although relatively little CSR tweeting is done in professional sports, smaller market professional sports teams' CSR tweeting is spurred by poor performance, whereas larger market sports teams' CSR tweeting is spurred by winning.

Full textAbstract:
Internet memes have in recent years become a prevalent phenomenon which brands have now started to use in their marketing communication efforts. Previous brand personality research suggested that communication style can change a brand’s perceived personality from a consumer’s perspective. The purpose of the thesis was to investigate if there is a difference in how brands are perceived depending on whether memes or more traditional images are used in marketing communication. The theoretical framework for this thesis was Geuens et al. (2009) A New Measure of Brand Personality. An experimental design was applied by having a total of 98 respondents answer one of two surveys. The respondents were exposed to a meme or a more traditional advert from the dating app, Tinder, and then asked to answerer questions regarding the brand’s personality. Hypothesis testing was conducted to see if any significant differences between the groups could be found. Results showed that respondent did perceive the brand differently on two dimensions of brand personality depending on what image they saw. However, lack of internal reliability in multiple dimensions in A New Measure of Brand Personality, questioned the scales applicability. The thesis contributes to a better understanding of how memes can be used in marketing communication.

Thomas, Christopher Scott. "Engendering environmental justice: women's rhetorical collaboration for a more just and sustainable world." Diss., University of Iowa, 2018. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/6308.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation examines how gender operates as agencies for women’s environmental justice activism. I contend that women’s activism, often taking place through collaborative and collective means, presents new opportunities to theorize rhetorical agency that include women-centric and leaderless forms of grassroots organizing. To this end, I explore various agencies for women’s collaborative environmental communication—motherhood, eco-spirituality, and political calls for recognition—that work to test the boundary conditions of rhetorical studies in ways that find empowerment and resistance in a collective rather than in any one particular person. In developing these accounts, I construct a framework that emphasizes the agentic capabilities possible through collaborative rhetorics of resistance—the communicative performances of defiance and empowerment put forth by groups of people that often result in the articulation of collective identities, the challenging of dominant structures and institutions of power, and work to inspire mutual critique and reflection in others. Theories of rhetorical agency assist in documenting and illuminating the ways speakers navigate discursive and material constraints as they bring their audience to action, but often do so by privileging the rhetoric of individual (male) speakers. By exploring collaborative rhetorics of resistance, this dissertation project tests the boundary conditions of rhetorical agency and generates a more comprehensive understanding of how loose networks of people enter into, take part in, and possibly redirect the course of environmental deliberations. This dissertation project is focused on the ways in which women rhetorically collaborate to craft collective subjectivities, protest environmental threats to their families and communities, and inspire mutual critique and reflection in others.

Full textAbstract:
Many have proclaimed that social media has changed Singapore’s political arena by empowering a range of new voices in the assumed apathetic nation. This thesis addresses two correlated questions: Are Singaporeans apathetic to “politics” in Singapore? How effective is the Singapore government’s social media strategies towards engaging with the citizens in the aftermath of the 2011 Singapore General Election? This thesis examines a few cases where Singaporeans contributed to a wide range of political expressions such as activism work and alternative news sites through social media which changed the power structure that Singapore has. Additionally, the Singapore government’s social media strategies to promote policy and party’s image has shown certain effectiveness in gaining traction. This thesis also observes the Singapore government’s attempt to increase their social media presence and engagement to reach out to its people even in the midst of curbing expression and extending their patriarchal control. Conclusively, this thesis analyses the Facebook interactions amongst the political candidates in the 2015 Singapore General Election to establish the connection that social media interaction between the candidates and the citizens is imperative and in due course affects the vote count and the traction they get with the citizens.Arts, Faculty of

Beck, Anna-Carrie H. "“MORE THAN JUST A BOX”: THE CO-CREATION OF SOCIAL IDENTITY WITHIN HISPANIC-CAUCASIAN MULTIETHNIC FAMILY SYSTEMS." UKnowledge, 2019. https://uknowledge.uky.edu/comm_etds/75.
Full textAbstract:
Approximately 15% of all new marriages in the United States in 2010 were between spouses that shared different racial or ethnic backgrounds from one another. Socha and Diggs (1999) began to examine race as both an outcome of family communication as well as a factor that influences children's communication development in families because of the social pressure multiethnic families endure to fit a nuclear family model. This study utilized dyadic interviews of eleven multiethnic parent couples (N = 22 individuals; 11 dyads) in order to gain a deeper understanding of Hispanic-Caucasian multiethnic family systems. Communication in families plays a foundational role in many aspects of society and socialization of the young. However, slim research has addressed how communication in families affects the understandings of ethnicity and the formation of social identities as a social construction (see Hecht, Collier, & Ribeau, 1993; Socha & Diggs, 1999; Socha, Sanchez-Hucles, Bromley, & Kelly, 1995).
Researchers in the social sciences, especially in communication, must recognize that the sanctuary of the home may be generating the keys to understanding problems concerning social identity formation and diversity. Thus, there is a need for communication research at the crossroads of ethnicity, family, and identity. This dissertation highlights family factors that may influence Hispanic-Caucasian multiethnic children’s social identities as well as family communication within Hispanic-Caucasian multiethnic family systems. This study explicates multiethnic families through the lens of communication accommodation theory (CAT; Giles, 1973), social identity theory (SIT; Tajfel & Turner, 1979), and self-categorization theory (SCT; Turner, 1985; Turner, 1987), explicitly overviewing the intersection of interpersonal and intergroup communication (Giles, 2012).
This study provides insights to both theoretical expansion and practical application within Hispanic-Caucasian multiethnic family systems. Ultimately, this study addresses questions such as: a) How do Hispanic-Caucasian multiethnic family systems communicate surrounding topics of race and ethnicity, b) How do Hispanic-Caucasian multiethnic families discuss components of social identity (e.g., ethnic identification for multiethnic children), and c) What challenges are unique to Hispanic-Caucasian multiethnic family systems?

Full textAbstract:
I denna studie undersöks Aftonbladets mobila nyhetsapplikation, som syftar till att ”pusha” ut information om de viktigaste händelserna. Studien undersöker hur stor andel av nyhetsartiklarna som berör ämnesområdet brott. Därefter undersöks vad som karaktäriserar de brottsrelaterade nyhetsartiklarna och dess tillhörande push-notiser som dyker upp på mottagarens mobilskärm. Målet med studien är att skapa en ökad förståelse för Aftonbladets mobila nyhetsapplikation som informationskanal, med ett övergripande fokus på händelser som berör brott. För att besvara studiens syfte tillämpas en kvantitativ innehållsanalys, som möjliggör en kvantifiering av en större mängd analysenheter. Variablerna är framtagna utifrån tidigare forskning samt studiens teoretiska ramverk, som innefattar följande teorier: nyhetsvärdering, intressanta/viktiga nyheter samt medielogikens dramaturgi. Studiens resultat visar att brottsnyheterna har ett högt nyhetsvärde. Push-notiserna som sänds ut via den mobila nyhetsapplikationen kan därmed ses som en förlängning av vad som kännetecknar kvällspressen i andra nyhetskanaler. Studiens resultat stämmer väl överens med Hvitfelts (1985) nyhetsvärderingskriterier beträffande ämnesområde, närhet och källor. Vidare visar resultatet att push-notiserna många gånger förenklas, personifieras och konkretiseras för att på så sätt attrahera mottagaren.

Full textAbstract:
CHDS State/LocalAn important part of the homeland security enterprise is the ability of public officials and leaders to communicate effectively with the public. When a crisis strikes, the public's ability to understand and act upon messages provided by officials is often significantly impinged by anxiety, fear, worry and distrust. In these uncertain and traumatic times, the public looks for a trusted voice and steady leadership. The ability to be trusted and lead during a crisis is determined, largely, by how well an official communicates with those affected. This thesis examines the public information methods used by officials in two high-profile criminal cases that unfolded before live television news cameras over the course of several days in 2013'the Boston Marathon bombings and the nine-day manhunt for former Los Angeles Police Department Officer Christopher Dorner in the greater southern California area. Best practices in risk and crisis communication are identified through a review of the literature and are used as the basis for analyzing each case study. The findings lead to four key crisis communication recommendations for public officials: recognizing the importance of empathy and compassion in trust building, focusing specifically on crisis communication best practices for leadership, emphasizing the importance of building pre-event partnerships, and differentiating the tactics from the strategic.

Full textAbstract:
Book Summary: Essential Breakthroughs: Conversations About Men, Mothers, and Mothering thinks from the nexus of gender, essentialism, and care. The authors creatively blend the philosophical and the personal to collectively argue that while gender is essential to our social and theoretical definitions of care, it is dangerously co-opted into naturalized discourses, which limit particular identities and negate certain forms of care. The perspectives curated in Essential Breakthroughs illuminate how care, as a respected and productive cultural ethic, is neither inherent nor instinctual for any human, but is learned and fostered. The chapters are informed by feminist, queer, and trans politics, wielding post-structuralist methodologies of unlearning and deconstruction, while maintaining the maternal lens as a credible feminist analytical tool and not as a gender-essentialist practice.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract: This study explores how the photographs of Alan Kurdi were used by Swedish newspapers, how they may have been perceived by the readers of those newspapers, and whether there are any ethical considerations when using the photography of Alan Kurdi. It answers three research questions; “How were the photographs of Alan Kurdi used by Swedish newspapers?”, “What potential meanings of the photographs of Alan Kurdi were interpreted by the readers of the articles?” and “What are the ethical implications of using the photographs of Alan Kurdi in the newspapers?” In order to investigate this the top 5 Swedish newspapers were studied and all the articles containing the photographs were studied. Through Sensitising Concepts and Inductive Analysis several topics and categories were discovered. The most common topic used by the newspapers was the topic of Alan Kurdi himself. In order to analyse these results Stuart Hall’s Encoding/Decoding Model of Communication is applied. The model identifies three types of receivers. Those who use preferred reading, negotiated reading and oppositional reading. By applying this model the way the photographs of Alan Kurdi was perceived by the readers of the newspapers can be analysed through the three different perspectives. Through the analysis it was argued that the most common way to perceive the photographs was humanising. The photographs worked both as an icon for the refugee crisis and to describe Alan Kurdi or the situation he was fleeing from. These topics can be argued to have a humanising effect on the refugee crisis as a whole. This was evident when charitable donations increased and there was a change in policy for refugees in Sweden that was less strict than before. However, after only a few months the public opinion grew harsher towards refugees and immigrants. This leads to the question - was it worth it? The photographs were used without consent and they could be argued to be exploitative of Alan Kurdi as well as his family. They can also be argued to be unethical. This papers concludes that the photographs were used by Swedish newspapers extensively, it seems in the most part with the intention of humanising the refugee crisis, and when looking at the rise in charitable donations and change in policy it seems to have worked. For a while. In truth, the photographs made no lasting difference, and it can be argued that the use of the photographs was unethical and the results that came from their publication did not justify the exploitation of Alan Kurdi.

To do this I call in question the common assumption that God-language is simply used by presidents out of strategic advantage, or personal belief, rather than as a defining, and necessary, feature of American identity. Contrary to this approach, I describe how theologies have historically been a necessary part of presidential rhetoric as presidents use theologies to endow national action with divine significance. I do this in cases of presidential rhetoric from Woodrow Wilson, John Kennedy, and Barack Obama that define the foreign policy mission of America with specific liberal Christian theological discourses. As presidents take up theological discourses to construct American morality the church/state distinction is threatened as one theological discourse is at risk of becoming the official state theology. Preventing this from happening, however, is the relative theological diversity of the American denominational system. Those who hold other theological orientations react negatively when their theology is not used to define national morality. In the cases I describe, presidents may use God-language strategically to garner support for their political actions, but when they do so the American public tends to read that God-language as having a theological dimension. Secular commentators that look for how presidents strategically use God-language to appeal to voters do not recognize that words-about-God are involved in theological networks of meaning-making that compete to define national morality. And where secular commentators fail to see this theological dimension, the religious American public does. This project attempts to bring the religious public's sensitivity to God-language into the academic study of presidential rhetoric by reading political discourse for its theological dimension.

In terms of chronological limits, the research attempts to date back to the period of the 16th-17th centuries; in respect of regional borders, it encompasses the Duchy of Biržai (hereinafter referred to as the “DB”), whereas in terms of socio-structural aspects, the study attempts to analyse the society of the Duchy. The subject of the thesis is the society of the Duchy of Biržai in the reign of the Radvilas during the 16th-17th centuries; the issue under analysis is the structure of this society and the social communication maintaining it. It is attempted to identify the types of contacts binding the afore-mentioned local society, the origins of those links, the manner of manifestation of the social contacts within the DB community, which were common to the entire Grand Duchy of Lithuania (hereinafter referred to as the “GDL”), and the specific contacts inherent to this domain only as well as the social formations created by these contacts apart from those determined by the estate-based society. The paper seeks to identify how far-reaching could have been and actually were the horizons of the contacts of the DB residents at the level of Biržai domain, the level of the GDL and the international level. The research of the contacts maintained should be useful in answering the question of how the centres of public communication (estate... [to full text]

Full textAbstract:
It is difficult to learn professional courses such as Computer Science without hands-on activities with appropriate technical support. Computer Science programming courses are the core of a Computer Science qualification and some of the learning outcomes of a Computer Science programming course are writing program code, program testing and debugging. Inadequate computers in the computer laboratory and policies that restrict the concept of 'Bring Your Own Technology' (BYOT) inside the computer laboratory posed a challenge to hands-on programming activities. However, students in the Computer Science department at the University of Jos learn computer-coding theory, but unable to have hands-on experience due to several reasons. This research investigates how use of virtual lab on Moodle Learning Management System (LMS) could enhance students' acquisition of Java programming skills. The virtual lab provides a lab environment for students to practice programming and experiment concepts learned. Activity Theory was used as a theoretical framework to analyse the activity of Java programming on the virtual lab. Seven participants including the lecturer were enrolled on the Java Programming Language virtual lab practical sessions for this research work. The research activity system focuses on Java hands-on programming tasks for a period of three weeks and after that data was collected using interview and content generated from the virtual lab activities' chats and forum. Interview questions were developed and administered to students, while a semistructured interview with the lecturer was conducted. The data collected from the interviews and the contents collated from chats and forum activities were coded using ICT data analysis tool Nvivo, based on thematic analysis. The data was thoroughly reviewed, explained, interpreted, and analysed using the theoretical framework, activity theory. The results show that the virtual lab helped students perform practical programming activities, where students accessed and used the virtual lab concurrently at any time and place. The participants used their private computers, mobile devices in the hostels, at home, or at hotspots to access the virtual lab. However, accessing the virtual lab required adequate Internet connection. The virtual lab programming activity system promoted student-centred learning, self-paced practice, and enabled students to repeat or revisit incorrect assignments multiple times. The activity system's subject (lecturer, students) interacts with the mediating tools (mobile devices, virtual lab) to perform the object (Java programming), which enhanced the achievement of the outcome (programming skills). Therefore, it can be said that the virtual lab mediated hands-on programming activities.

Prekinių ženklų archetipų sistema – puikus įrankis, suteikiantis galimybę kurti dizainą nuosekliau, pagal nustatytas filosofines konstrukcijas. Ši sistema keičia kūrėjo ir tarpininko arba jo kliento bendradarbiavimo būdą. Užduodami klausimai suteikia galimybę rinkti informaciją apie egzistuojantį vartotojo suvokimą bei taip sustiprina kūrėjo rolę, kuri suteikia galimybę viską keisti arba atnaujinti atsižvelgiant į vartotoją. Dizainas kuriamas sistemingai surenkant medžiagą bei atsižvelgiant į užsakovo perteikimas vertybes ir esamas rinkos sąlygas.Brand archetypes are great tool to design using philosophical systems. These systems can change communication workflow of the artist or their agents with their clients. Working with the target group, asking questions, gathering information about their perception, allows artist to change existing cliche or fallow, search for existing. This approach brings more decision making to designer. Then the design is created by using gathered material, client values and market situation.

Full textAbstract:
Although the number of women participating in organized sport has drastically increased since the passage of Title IX, sport media has not necessarily reflected this change. As well as being underrepresented in sport media, women athletes are also portrayed in gender biased ways. When examining photographic media, many studies investigate Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit Issue; however, the present study argues that using this magazine is methodologically flawed. Therefore, I explore an emergent source—ESPN the Magazine ’s Body Issue—in order to determine how women are represented in this magazine. Using Goffman’s (1974) framing theory and (1979) Gender Advertisements, as well as Schipper’s (2007) extension of hegemonic femininity, I utilized content analytic methods to analyze all editions of the annual Body Issue from 2009–2014. In total, I studied 143 athletes represented in 146 images, as well as the captions which accompanied these images. Results uncovered that, although women are more highly represented than men in the Body Issue, they are still presented using hegemonically feminine frames. While the Body Issue does occasionally present women in ways which challenge the hegemonic gender structure, these instances are few. Contributions of this study to the body of literature regarding sport media strengthen the suggestion that sport media plays a role in both producing and reproducing the hegemonic gender structure.

Abstract. Educational and informational comics have many advantages to other learning tools, especially traditional textbooks, and not the least of them is making learning engaging and enjoyable. For this reason, the objective of this research is to discover which are the specific ways in which science comics communicate scientific facts and theories and entertain their readers. The following questions are answered: 1) How is science content presented in and adapted into comic form? 2) How has the comic book The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change been designed to make learning and reading entertaining? More specifically, what are the ways through which the comic entertains the reader?
To answer these research questions, a triangulation of methods and data was used. The methods used in this research are content analysis and multimodal analysis, and they will be used to examine the multimodality of the science comic book The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change. Moreover, the study contains an ethnographic and autoethnographic approach: an interview with a science comic creator was conducted and the answers are used to consolidate the findings from the analysis of The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change; also, the writer’s own knowledge of comics as an avid comic reader and creator is employed. Furthermore, the results of the interview and analysis were compared to previous research on science comics, science communication, autonomous learning, and entertainment. The results indicate that in her working process, the science comic creator’s approach to science communication concurs with modern approaches to autonomous learning and science communication. Similarities between the interview results and the analysis of The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change were identified. In The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change, both the individual modes (visual and verbal) and the interplay of modes provide plenty of opportunities to make learning enjoyable and gratifying and to adapt science content into the comic form. The elements of the comic book in question (speech bubbles, drawings, and textboxes), narration, characters, and the fundamental ability of comics to both visually show and verbally tell about events, processes, phenomena, and abstract concepts that are outside the reader’s reach are used to communicate and teach science effectively. Moreover, the target audience of The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change has been taken carefully into account. These matters make the learning experience different from learning from other educational tools, allegedly benefitting many students.Tiivistelmä. Sarjakuvat ovat monin tavoin hyödyllisempiä opetusvälineitä verrattuna muihin välineisiin, erityisesti perinteisiin tekstipainotteisiin oppikirjoihin, ja etenkin kun oppimisesta halutaan tehdä mukaansatempaavaa ja nautittavaa. Näistä syistä tutkin tässä pro gradussa tiedesarjakuvien keinoja opettaa ja viihdyttää lukijaansa. Pyrin vastaamaan seuraaviin kysymyksiin: 1) Miten tiedesisältö on esitetty The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change -sarjakuvassa ja miten se on sovitettu sarjakuvamuotoon? 2) Miten sarjakuvan on tarkoitus tehdä lukemisesta ja oppimisesta viihdyttävää? Millä keinoin sarjakuva pyrkii viihdyttämään lukijaansa?
Lähestyn tutkimuskysymyksiä useasta lähtökohdasta. Käytän tutkimusmetodeina sisällönanalyysia ja multimodaalista analyysia tarkastellessani multimodaalisuutta The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change -sarjakuvassa. Lisäksi tutkimukseen liittyvät etnografinen ja autoetnografinen menettelytapa: vahvistan analyysin päätelmiä tiedesarjakuvien tekijän haastattelun avulla ja käyttämällä omaa kokemuksen kautta kertynyttä sarjakuvatietouttani. Vertaan tuloksia myös tiedesarjakuvista, tiedeviestinnästä, itsenäisestä oppimisesta sekä viihteestä aiemmin tehtyihin tutkimuksiin. Haastattelun tulokset viittaavat siihen, että tiedesarjakuvien tekijän lähestymistavat tiedesarjakuvien tekemiseen ovat yhteneväisiä modernien tiedeviestinnän ja itsenäisen oppimisen teorioiden kanssa. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change -sarjakuvassa on hyödynnetty sekä yksittäisten moodien (sanallinen ja kuvallinen) ilmaisuvoimaa erikseen että niiden yhdistelmää sarjakuvana, jotta oppimisesta tulisi viihdyttävää ja tyydyttävää; lisäksi tiedesisältöä voidaan moodien avulla muuntaa sarjakuvamuotoon monin eri tavoin. Tiedeviestinnässä ja tiedesisällön opettamisessa hyödynnetään sarjakuvan elementtejä (puhekuplat, piirrokset ja tekstilaatikot), kerrontaa, hahmoja sekä sarjakuville ominaista kykyä näyttää lukijan kokemusmaailman ulkopuolisia tapahtumia, prosesseja, ilmiöitä sekä abstrakteja käsitteitä visuaalisesti sekä kertoa niistä sanallisesti. Kohdeyleisö on myös otettu tarkasti huomioon sarjakuvan suunnittelussa. Näiden tekijöiden avulla oppimiskokemuksesta saadaan erilainen kuin muunlaisista oppimateriaaleista opiskellessa, mikä hyödyttää monia opiskelijoita.

The military operates through a system of gender and sexuality hierarchies that privilege masculinity and heterosexuality as the ideal category of service member. This symbolic national institution is also conceptually tied to notions of citizenship. For marginalized groups, gaining the ability to freely enlist in the military represents a benchmark toward achieving full and equal status as political subjects. Such has been the case for the mainstream lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender rights movement. For much of the past century, military discourses have aided in rhetorically constructing homosexual identities as pathological, deviant, and unfit to serve in the armed forces. A recent shift in this rhetoric from Department of Defense (DoD) officials, which contributed to a repeal of the “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy, calls into question how changing discourses about gay and lesbian service members rhetorically construct queer citizenship. To answer this question, theories of gender and sexuality performance, corporeal rhetoric, and critical security discourse inform an analysis of the Report of the Comprehensive Review of the Issues Associated with a Repeal of “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell”, a DoD document assessing potential risks to the military upon repeal. The analysis reveals that despite assertions made in the document that open service by gay men and lesbians poses minimal threat, this claim is ultimately grounded in the presumption that institutional hegemony adequately constrains performative possibilities for LGB identity articulation.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT Notions of quality of life dictate philosophies and policies for services for people with developmental disabilities. There is an abundance of research on quality of life, much of which has influenced the significant amount of study of quality of life for people with developmental disabilities. According to specialist developmental disability nurses, however, this research has little meaning for one group of people with developmental disabilities with whom they work - people with severe multiple impairments. Nevertheless, judgements and decisions about the lives of this group continue to be driven by the idea of quality of life. While the literature review found that researchers are urged to seek the perceptions of people regarding their own quality of life by asking them, some authors have noted the difficulty in pursuing such a method with people, such as people with severe multiple impairments, who are unable to communicate in the usual ways. Given, then, that it is difficult to directly determine the views of people with severe multiple impairments, this study sought the perceptions of nurses about the quality of life of the people with whom they work. In order to discover and conceptualise nurses' views, a symbolic interaction perspective was chosen to guide this study and data were analysed using the grounded theory approach. The study was conducted in two stages. Stage One consisted of semi-structured indepth interviews with expert nurses to explore their perceptions of quality of life for the people with whom they worked. A significant finding in these interviews was that perceptions of quality of life are mediated by interaction. Consequently, Stage Two involved a participant observation study in which the interactions of nurses and people with severe multiple impairments were examined. Specialist developmental disability nurses have a unique view of quality of life for people with severe multiple impairments. They refer to it as 'just little things', a phrase which masks complex nursing knowledge and skills, and which can be described by four interrelated categories which emerged from the data: humans being, supporting, becoming intimate, and situated belonging. As nurses become more intimate with individuals, they perceive that people with severe multiple impairments are humans being as they wish, and that quality resides in supporting their everyday lives in a context of situated belonging. This thesis represents a new conceptualisation of quality of life for people with severe multiple impairments, a conceptualisation which may have significance for other groups and, indeed, for the whole quality of life enterprise. This conceptualisation draws on knowledge not usually related to quality of life, that is, knowledge of the body, of the emotions, of identity and of humanness. Such findings demonstrate the power of an interpretive approach in explicating the meanings nurses have regarding quality of life. Further, these findings have implications for how the question of quality of life is approached, for how different ways of thinking about people impact on quality of life, and for the importance of the life in quality of life.

Full textAbstract:
This study explores the experiences of people who have lost loved ones due to socially stigmatized deaths. Drawing from eight individual interviews, the author argues that the stigma associated with death due to drug overdose, suicide, substance abuse, or murder can cause traumatic or prolonged grief and can complicate the way the bereaved talk about grief as a part of their healing process. With the mortality rate in the U.S. rising, there is an epidemic of disenfranchised grief affecting millions of bereaved individuals. Using Coordinated Management of Meaning and Communication Privacy Management theories, the author uncovers strategies the traumatically bereaved employ to manage interactions and relationships with others. A qualitative analysis of participant interviews revealed that social stigma, whether experienced or anticipated, affects the way the bereaved communicate and can cause self-silencing. Findings indicate a need for safe, supportive, and non-judgmental spaces for the traumatically bereaved to share their stories.

Full textAbstract:
Denna uppsats syfte är att med hjälp av diskursanalys med inriktning på bildanalys och samspelet mellan text och bild, jämföra kampanjerna ”Det där löser sig säkert” med dem på temat ”Vad håller du på med?” för att utröna om deras syfte, innehåll och diskurs förändrats över tiden och i så fall på vilket sätt. Detta syfte tar sig uttryck i följande huvudfrågor: Vilken diskurs använder sig Försvarsmaktens reklamkampanjer av? Hur skiljer sig diskursen i reklamkampanjerna från varandra? När det gäller fråga ett ovan visar uppsatsen att det som de båda kampanjerna diskursmässigt har gemensamt är att den övergripande säkerhetspolitiska diskurs som förmedlas genom bilderna, är den nya säkerhetspolitiska doktrin som gör gällande att det moderna samhällets primära hot inte är det totala kriget utan en komplex hotmiljö bestående av allt ifrån instabila länder i när och fjärran, terrorism och naturkatastrofer. Ingen av kampanjerna förmedlar dock visuellt på ett mer utförligt sätt vad Försvarsmakten egentligen sysslar med. När det gäller fråga två ovan påvisar uppsatsen följande skillnader mellan de båda kampanjerna. Den första kampanjen kronologiskt betraktat, ”Det där löser sig nog”, framställer miljöer som innehåller våld och fara som Försvarsmakten gör anspråk på att vara en konstruktiv aktör i, medan den andra kampanjen, ”Vad håller du på med?”, föreställer unga människor vilka sysselsätter sig med tämligen meningslösa projekt, där försvarsmakten kan erbjuda mer meningsfulla sysselsättningar. Summa summarum, Försvarsmakten anser sig vara en viktig aktör vid extrema, kaotiska situationer i Sverige och världen och kan erbjuda den som så önskar ett meningsfullt arbete inom de ramar den nuvarande säkerhetsdoktrinen sätter.The aim of this essay has been to analyze two advertising campaigns made by the Swedish Armed Forces (Svenska Försvarsmakten) with the help of discourse analysis, focusing on the pictures involved and the dialectics between pictures and texts. The first one can be called “Someone will solve the problems” and the other one “What are you doing?” Questions involved are What kind of discourse lies behind these campaigns? What are the differences between the two campaigns? The main discourse can be described through the new security doctrine for the Swedish Armed Forces where they no longer focus on total war but a more complex and at the same time more unpredictable threatening global environment, due to unstable countries all over the world, terrorism and nature catastrophes, often dependent on global warming. Thus this is the present task for the Swedish Armed Forces. The two campaigns differ in the way that “Someone will solve it” focuses on the tasks for the modern defense and the other one, “What are you doing?” points out the defense as offering a meaningful future.

Full textAbstract:
Denna studie ämnar undersöka vilken funktion ICA:s reklamfilmer fyller när det gäller människors förhållningssätt till reklam. Är det bara en reklamfilm bland andra, eller kan den fylla andra funktioner som lockar till tittande? ICA:s reklamfilmer kan betraktas som rena reklaminslag eller annonser, men reklamfilmerna kan också betraktas som ett mediefenomen. Utifrån tidigare studier om uses- and gratifications teorin har kvalitativa intervjuer genomförts och för att analysera resultatet gjordes en tematisk analys. Resultatet visar en stor positivitet kring reklamfilmerna. Andra reklamfilmer ses ofta som intetsägande och tråkiga, medan ICA:s reklamkoncept blir som en serie som följs vecka efter vecka. Resultatet visar att synsättet på reklamfilmen nästan aldrig var ett rent inslag av reklam och annonsering, detta eftersom exponeringen av varor ofta hamnade i bakgrunden av reklamfilmens handling. Det finns en igenkänningsfaktor i karaktärerna där ICA upplevs ha jobbat aktivt med att bli mer inkluderande utifrån de samhälleliga förändringar som skett. Den yngre målgruppen såg ICA-reklamen som ett framgångsrikt koncept som stack ut i mängden från annan typ av reklam, medan den äldre målgruppen hade en mer kritisk röst till reklamfilmen

Full textAbstract:
The United States has a serious epidemic of mass incarceration and high recidivism rates. The U. S. must act on these high recidivism rates by implementing social services programs that help the formerly incarcerated stop committing crimes. The formerly incarcerated are being oppressed by a historic process that has continued to incarcerate and control them, even after they had served their time for their crimes. This project attempts to assist in reducing the high recidivism rates by creating an education-based transitional housing facility with a plethora of supportive services that will be open to formerly incarcerated individuals. This project sheds light on some of the problems that continue to plague this demographic group of people, while providing a possible solution to help reduce recidivism. The outcome of this project is a business plan that explains a procedure to help create a non-profit transitional housing facility that will be located in Palm Springs, CA. The steps of building this non-profit business are detailed in an implementation plan following this manuscript.

Thesis, Högskolan för lärande och kommunikation, Högskolan i Jönköping, HLK, Medie- och kommunikationsvetenskap, 2018. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hj:diva-38776.
Full textAbstract:
Den här studien fokuserar på influencer marketing och opinionsbildning. Den valda empirin för studien är sex blogginlägg sponsrade av företaget Natural Cycles. Studiens syfte är att få ökad kunskap om hur influencers konstruerar sponsrade blogginlägg. För att uppnå syftet har en kvalitativ textanalys utförts. Den teoretiska utgångångspunkten för studien är tvåstegshypotesen. Tvåstegshypotesen används tillsammans med influencer marketing och begreppen emotional appeals och fear appeals som är lånade från psykologiforskning. Studiens tillvägagångsätt grundar sig i en kvalitativ textanalys. Mer specifikt har en stilanalys använts för att se hur blogginläggen konstrueras språkligt, innehållsligt, socialt och kontextuellt. Utifrån de olika stildragen har gemensamma kvaliteter hittats i blogginläggen som sedan använts för att presentera analysresultatet. Analysen gav kvaliteterna gemenskap, opinionsbildning, vardagligt språk, personliga erfarenheter och åsikter, engagemang i ämnet och kontextuella faktorer. Resultatet visade att influencers använder ett personligt och engagerat språk. De skriver om personliga erfarenheter och om hur de mår, sin kropp och sina känslor. Influencers tar även på sig en självutnämnd expertroll för produkten när de försöker övertyga läsarna om fördelarna med produkten och företaget. För att övertyga läsarna används fear appeals och avskräckande exempel, som biverkningar de har upplevt med andra produkter.

Barbis, Andrea M. "Sexism, Just-World Beliefs, and Defensive Attribution: Relationship to Online Discourse and Child Sexual Abuse." ScholarWorks, 2018. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/5974.
Full textAbstract:
Research has shown that individuals' willingness to believe a disclosure of childhood sexual abuse (CSA) is related to just-world beliefs, ambivalent sexism, and defensive attribution. However, researchers do not know whether these variables relate to posts made in response to online articles describing CSA. Negative or disbelieving posts may impact not only the author, but also readers who view these comments via hindrance of disclosures, increased self-blame, and avoidance of help seeking. In this quantitative study, just-world, ambivalent sexism, and defensive attribution theories provided the theoretical basis used to determine whether just-world beliefs, ambivalent sexism, and defensive attribution influenced comments made in response to an online article about CSA disclosure. Eight-hundred twenty participants read the article where the author discloses she was sexually abused as a child. Response comments were coded negative, neutral, or positive. Participants also completed demographic questions, the Global Belief in a Just World Scale, the Ambivalent Sexism Inventory, and questions regarding their similarity to the offender and victim. Multinomial logistic regression analysis showed relationships between negative posts and hostile sexism, perceived similarity to the perpetrator, frequent involvement in online discourse, and, to a lesser extent, belief in a just world. Parenthood and perceived similarity to the author increased one's odds of posting positively. Responses of CSA survivors resulted in unexpected findings. Study findings may be used to challenge stereotypes and vitriol often used to silence survivors in public discourse, for thought challenging in psychotherapeutic settings, and for future public education and research to increase support for CSA survivors.

Full textAbstract:
Denna uppsats syftar till att kvalitativt undersöka hur kvinnor porträtteras i fem utvalda avsnitt av The Hills (MTV), med fokus på deras beteende och uppträdande i frågor som karriär, utseende och relationer till män. Detta undersöks med hjälp av ett analysschema som har utformats utifrån Keith Selbys och Ron Cowderys analysmodell för att studera television. Undersökningen vilar på en genusteoretisk grund och teorier som används är bland annat R.W. Connells hegemoniska maskulinitet, Yvonne Hirdmans genuskontrakt, Laura Mulveys ”the male gaze” och en vidare utveckling av Foucaults teori om ”the panopticon”. Detta kompletteras med forskning av bland annat Rosalind Gill, Angela McRobbie och Hillevi Ganetz. I min analys framkommer att det förekommer väldigt få skildringar av kvinnor vars beteende utmanar en traditionell syn på kvinnligt uppförande. Vidare betonas kvinnors utseende starkt och karaktärerna visar ett flertal gånger fokus på äktenskap. Sammantaget leder analysen fram till en slutsats att kvinnor i The Hills inom samtliga undersökta områden till stor del skildras på ett sätt som befäster en stereotyp genusstruktur.
