This study concerns about teaching writing, especially writing narrative text by using picture prompts as media. Picture prompts are believed can make the students relax to study and can encourage them to begin to write. Picture prompts have many advantages in teaching and learning writing. Related to the objective of the study, the aim of this study is to find whether picture prompts can help the students to get higher scores or not. This research will be done in UIN Maulana Malik Ibrahim Malang in Arabic Language and Literature Department with the research object of class A for experimental group and class B for control group. The objective of the study is to investigate the effectiveness of using picture prompts in writing class in helping students write narrative texts. The quasi-experimental research design will be used in writing this research. This research design was chosen because it was impossible for the researcher to randomize the subjects to the intended conditions. This was due to the fact that moving the students from one class to another in order to get the ideal groups for the sake of the experiment was not allowed. As the study deals with the students of two different classes, the explanation about teaching-learning processes will be applied to it. In the processes, the researcher will conduct pretest to know the students’ writing ability before getting treatment of writing narrative using picture prompts. After the treatment, the researcher conducts posttest to compare the result and to discover whether the students get higher score or not. Then the results of the research between two subjects will be analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for The Social Science) data analysis of group pair data.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a shorter language sample elicited with fewer pictures (i.e., 7) would yield a percent grammatical utterances (PGU) score similar to that computed from a longer language sample elicited with 15 pictures for 3-year-old children. Method Language samples were elicited by asking forty 3-year-old children with varying language skills to talk about pictures in response to prompts. PGU scores were computed for each of two 7-picture sets and for the full set of 15 pictures. Results PGU scores for the two 7-picture sets did not differ significantly from, and were highly correlated with, PGU scores for the full set and with each other. Agreement for making pass–fail decisions between each 7-picture set and the full set and between the two 7-picture sets ranged from 80% to 100%. Conclusion The current study suggests that the PGU measure is robust enough that it can be computed on the basis of 7, at least in 3-year-old children whose language samples were elicited using similar procedures.

Full textAbstract:
This study described the ability of five children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) to relate the mental states of story characters in two conditions: spontaneous story generation and in response to direct questions. Children spontaneously generated stories from wordless picture books. Subsequently, they were prompted, “What was (character) thinking” and “How does (character) feel?” for each story illustration. For each condition, the number of internal responses, internal plans, and emotion words that children produced were identified and analyzed for accuracy according to the pictured story content. Descriptions of story characters’ internal states, especially emotions, increased in response to prompts, but the accuracy of those descriptions decreased. In response to the prompts, children frequently conveyed emotion words that did not reflect the pictured story content accurately. The ability to relate internal states in story generation was constrained not only by linguistic deficits but also by limited social and emotional knowledge.

Full textAbstract:
Current assessment practices for writing are moving away from the traditional objective test and towards performance-based assessment. The use of picture prompts to elicit writing samples is a common practice but it adds a level of complexity to the writing process. Writing tasks which use pictures to elicit writing samples require the writer to interpret the picture, create meaning from the picture, and then transfer the visual information into a verbal mode of expression.
The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of style and color of picture prompts while holding content constant. Four independent variables were investigated: style, (photograph, drawing), color (color, black and white), content (delivery man with a box, cliff rescue), and grade-level (fifth, eighth). Ratings of the students' stories served as the dependent variable. Each story was scored by two raters on three dimensions: narrative, descriptive, and events. These scores were added together to obtain a total score. The overall design was a four factor repeated measures ANOVA with grade level, style, and color as between subject factors and content as a within subject factor. A total of six ANOVAs were conducted, one each for the total score, narrative component, descriptive component, events component, prior events item, and after events item.
Results of the ANOVA for total scores indicate that the main effect for content was significant, as was the content by style interaction. The main effects for color and style were not significant, nor did these factors yield significant interactions. Similar results were obtained in the analysis of the narrative and descriptive components. The main effect of content was not significant on the event component due to reversal of mean scores on the two items comprising this component. When ANOVAs were conducted on the two items comprising this component, the main effect for content was significant for both items. Also of interest is that the main effect for grade level was significant for the total scores, descriptive component, events component, and prior events, but was not significant for the narrative component or after events item.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
Memory, or the ability to recall previously learned information, has been evaluated among different populations. Some previous research has utilized different forms of verbal prompts to assist participants in recalling associations. These verbal prompts can be categorized as simple or elaborative. Although previous research has indicated that both forms of verbal prompts are effective in teaching individuals to relate stimulus pairs, there is currently no research that compares these prompting methods. Therefore, the current study sought to compare simple and elaborative prompts for teaching a picture-association task with four typically developing preschool children. Data suggest that elaborative prompts were more effective in teaching associations across all participants and resulted in similar levels of maintenance at 1-week and 1-month probes.

Full textAbstract:
Whilst there are numerous studies on young people’s engagement in academic study, the internal relationship between young people and academic study is still unclear. This thesis seeks to explain the relation of young people to their academic study, in the context of Brunei Darussalam, through analysing young people’s motive hierarchy. The research is based on the understanding that young people are faced with multiple contradicting demands from the society, which evolve with their developmental age. The contradicting demands generate conflicts for young people as they participate across the different institutional practices in their everyday lives. The research entailed a semi-participatory research approach, which emphasised young people’s lived experiences, from a first-person perspective. Eight (8) young people aged 16-18 years who are studying for their GCE A Level examinations, played roles as both trained Student Researchers, as well as participants in this research. Data were collected from focus group discussions, annotated photo albums (MyAlbum) and a ‘participant self-generated’ questionnaire (MyQuestionnaire). The focus of the data collection was on the young people’s experiences of conflicts with respect to their academic study and the different agendas in their everyday lives. Intermediary tools were developed to focus the data analysis to identify motive-orientations and their relative importance in the construct of the motive hierarchy of a young person. An initial general model of motive hierarchy was developed from this study too. It is a societal demand for young people in late adolescence to be vocational and career oriented. However this study shows the eight (8) young people are also oriented towards other objects, apart from being future oriented. They can still have a dominant motive-orientation towards intimate personal relations, which usually prevails for early adolescence. Two other motive-orientations have also emerged from this study, i.e. the societal value system and self-comfort related. These different motive-orientations of the young people contradict the societal demands and create conflicts for the young people as they participate in and across the practices. These findings are important in informing intervention programmes to improve young people’s engagement in academic study.

The use of picture prompts to elicit English writing samples is a common practice in Taiwan. In this type of writing assessment, examinees are required to compose paragraphs by looking at and understanding a picture sequence, interpreting the picture sequence, and then transferring the visual information into the verbal mode of expression. The purpose of this study is to classify three-frame picture prompts and to examine the effect of different types of three-frame picture prompts on writing performance. Based on Sinatra’s text organization pattern (2000), story grammar (Mandler & Johnson, 1977; Rumelhart, 1975; Stein & Glenn, 1979) and studies on readers’ expectancy of the consequence as classification criteria, three-frame picture prompts fall into five different types: the time-based type, the steps-in-a-process type, the topic-development type, the cause-and-effect type with an expected consequence, and the cause-and-effect type with an unexpected consequence. With the validation of the classification and the exclusion of the potential interference of the factor of word frequency, each writing sample for different picture prompts is scored using three different measures: the length of writing products, lexical density (the type-token ratio), and the mean length of T-units. These measures respectively assess fluency, vocabulary diversity, and linguistic complexity of sentences. The collected data are analyzed with one-way ANOVA and ANCOVA. In terms of the length of writing products, the cause-and-effect type with an expected consequence elicits the longest writing products and the cause-and-effect type with an unexpected consequence elicits the second longest. These two cause-effect picture prompts meet nearly all the criteria proposed by Hooper et al. (1994, p. 388) except that they are line drawings rather than photographs. As for the type-token ratio, the topic-development type and the time-based type elicit samples with higher type-token ratios. In these two types of picture prompts which lack coherence and dynamics, subjects are less confined to the static content of the pictures, thus employing a more diversified vocabulary. As to the mean length of T-units, there is no significant difference among the five types of three-frame picture prompts. There is no significant difference in the effect on syntactic complexity.

The present study aims to examine the effect of closed- and open-ended picture prompts on senior high students’ writing performance in terms of overall quality, writing fluency, and accuracy. The interaction between picture prompts and English proficiency or writing anxiety on writing performance was also explored. The sample consists of 180 twelfth graders at a senior high school in southern Taiwan. All participants finished a background questionnaire, an L2 writing anxiety scale (SLWAI), a shortened 2003-GSAT as a placement test, a writing task either with a closed- or an open-ended picture prompt, a post-writing questionnaire. An interview was conducted with 12 participants to probe into their perceptions about the two writing tasks. Statistical analyses showed that picture prompts had no significant effect on students’ writing performance and there was no significant interaction between picture prompts and English proficiency or writing anxiety. On the other hand, English proficiency and L2 writing anxiety each had significant effect on writing performance. The interview results showed that high-anxiety students tended to prefer closed-ended prompts while low-anxiety students favored open-ended prompts. Analysis of post-writing questionnaire showed that there was no significant differences in students’ perceptions toward the two picture prompts, except that the closed-ended prompt was considered to hinder more creativity than the open-ended prompt. The findings suggest that the two picture prompts could still be used alternatively in such large-scale examinations as GSAT and that EFL writing instructors should increase students’ general English proficiency and reduce their writing anxiety.

Researchers of second language learning have suggested that the use of picture prompts in academic writing is of great importance for its benefits. However, very few studies have empirically documented how learners actually write with assistance of picture prompts. Therefore, this study adopts an in-depth qualitative case study approach to explore the interplay between the use of picture prompts and EFL students’ writing practices in the particular community. Four Taiwanese EFL university students are chosen as focal research participants, focusing on what and how they learn and write three different genres (comparison-contrast, argumentation, narration) guided by the chosen picture prompts. Students’ written products, talk around texts, and interviews are collected and analyzed by Critical Discourse Analysis approach (Fairclough, 2003). Three levels of analysis (description, interpretation, explanation) are undertaken to uncover these three elements of writing as social practices (text, interaction, social practice), emphasizing how textual and contextual features shape or are shaped by students’ writing as social practices. Two major findings derive from the data analysis. First, picture prompts serve as the nudge to motivate EFL student-writers recontextualizing multimodal resources (oral, visual, written) across different contexts into their target writing practices, and some of which are shown in linguistic features of their written works. Secondly, most of EFL students adhere to conventions of the specific community they are situated whereas on some occasions demonstrate their creativities in making variations on generic structures or language use. Overall, the research findings reveal the dynamic relationship between EFL students’ writing practices and the use of picture prompts, providing relevant implications for integrating multimodal elements in the EFL writing course design.

ABSTRACT English learners’ speaking ability has been increasingly valued in EFL context in recent years, and thus, the tasks of developing valid and reliable assessment of EFL learners’ speaking ability has become more important. Pictures and texts have been widely used in tests. However, few studies have reported the influence of the types of prompts on test takers’ oral performance and their test –taking process. Therefore, it is critical to examine the characteristics of task prompts that may bring impact on EFL students’ oral performance in speaking assessments. This study investigated the impact of different types of prompts in assessing EFL college students’ oral proficiency. Two commonly used prompt types in second language oral assessments (i.e., text-cued and picture-cued prompts) were selected. Fifty-two English-majored college students in the northern Taiwan participated in this study. Each took two oral tests –one picture-cued and one text-cued prompts. Test outcomes were analyzed to gauge the empirical impact of prompt type on EFL college students’ oral proficiency performance and test takers’ processing of different types of oral prompts. Two raters evaluated test takers’ oral responses and assigned holistic and analytical scores in terms of three aspects, accuracy, fluency and content complexity. In addition, seven test takers of various proficiency levels were interviewed to collect in-depth information regarding the test-taking process of test takers when they responded to different prompt types. Results of the paired-sample T tests showed that these two types of prompts did not exert statistically significant influence on EFL college students’ oral performance holistically or analytically. However, the majority of interviewed test takers reported that they preferred picture-cued prompts because it was easier for them to generate integrative ideas and when responding to text-cued prompts, they tended to reproduce fragmental ideas which were directly taken from text-cued prompts. They also claimed that it was easier to retrieve non-linguistic information from picture-cued prompts. Finally, study implications and suggestions for designing oral assessment tasks were discussed.

Abstract This paper aims at discussing the value of researcher-generated visual methods in studying migration. It focuses on photography as a data collection method, and the problem is presented in the context of researching urban and rural arenas of exercising transnational belonging by migrants and their descendants in new and ancestral homelands. Photography is approached here as a sensorial experience mediating a relationship between the researcher and the participants. The author argues that the relationships occurring around photo-taking in the field are as important as the data collected intentionally. Moreover, the chapter discusses ethical questions prompted by the employment of visual methods, problematizing them in a context of different social, cultural and national settings. With this chapter, the author attempts to answer a question whether researcher-generated visual data can open new angles of analyses of migrants’ life-words and how the employment of visual methods can influence theoretical perspectives within migration studies.

In this chapter, the authors introduce SequenceBook system, an interactive picture book that consists of a paper book with very thin IC (Integrated Circuit) tags embedded in each page and an RFID (Radio Frequency IDentification) antenna. This system uses a traditional paper book as an interface and realizes natural interface that keeps the affordance of traditional book and thus smoothly prompts users to experience its contents by just flipping pages in the same way as they read an ordinary book. Another important feature of the system is that users can change its storylines as they like. The system is designed like a bookbinder so that users can easily shuffle pages and make several patterns of stories.

Full textAbstract:
In this chapter, the authors discuss what they observed and learned as drawing was integrated into assessments already in use in a middle school science classroom. Informed by a growing body of evidence that supports the notion that allowing students to draw answers on assessments disrupts normative assessment practices, promoting more equitable assessments for ELLs. Their overall goal was to add to the understanding of how drawing can provide a more complete picture of ELL students science content understanding. This chapter begins with the historical importance of drawing in science, and then the intersection of ELLs, drawing, science, and assessment, followed by a description of how drawing was adapted into middle school science assessments. Examples of how middle school students responded to prompts to draw answers on assessments are included followed by implementation barriers that were confronted by their teachers. The authors then conclude this chapter with a discussion focusing on recommendations to fellow teachers.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter offers a reading of Marilynne Robinson’s 1980 novel Housekeeping—the story of a transient woman, Sylvie, who returns home to take care of her recently orphaned nieces, Ruth and Lucille, and the novel raises important questions not just about life on the road, but also about the house and home that is left behind. Whereas the Odyssey maintains a perpetually idealized notion of Penelope and Odysseus as emblems of a like-minded merger of travel and home by deferring indefinitely the moment when the two actually live (or travel) together, in Housekeeping there is always an attempt to blur the divide between people who stay and people who go, one that is most clearly embodied in the character of Sylvie. Like Odysseus, who will one day leave home again and whose travels are also always returns, Sylvie’s travels keep taking her home; yet like Penelope as well, she keeps her family by her side. In particular, by taking men out of the picture, Robinson radically reorients the traditionally gendered relationship of travel to home that Homer’s Odyssey represents, and the novel prompts us to ask how women can reconcile family responsibilities with travel. Can the possibilities, rather than the constraints, of mobility help redefine what makes a house a home?

Full textAbstract:
While “realism” is usually studied in novels, paintings, or photography, Chapter 2 analyzes realism in the illustrated newspaper, newly invented in 1842. The chapter focuses on reportage of the Crimean War (1853–6), often dubbed the first “media war”: this was the first international conflict to be documented by independent war correspondents, on-the-spot sketch artists, and photojournalists. The chapter argues that the war’s disastrous turns prompted a representational crisis demanding a new visual vocabulary, one that pictorial journalists addressed using four kinds of reality effects. These are designated as the descriptive, the authentic, the everyday, and the plausible, and they are tracked through the Crimean War’s distinctive newspaper imagery, including the trenches, the amputee, the nurse, and “the Valley of Death.” Alongside new journalistic norms, the 1850s also saw the first use of “realism” as a term of literary criticism, reflecting the spread of realist paradigms across media and genres.

Mobile communication is a key enabler for economic, social and political change in developing regions of the world. Today’s internet-enabled multimedia and touch-screen mobile smartphones could become the future platform for delivering information and communication technology (ICT) to these regions. We describe Picture Talk, a smartphone application framework designed to facilitate local information sharing in regions with sparse Internet connectivity, low literacy rates and having users with little prior experience with information technology. We argue that engaging citizens in developing regions in information creation and information sharing leverages peoples’ existing social networks to facilitate transmission of critical information, exchange of ideas, and distributed problem solving. All of which can promote economic development.

Full textAbstract:
The growing number of terrorist attacks in the past decade has focused the public’s attention on the severity of such a man–made hazard. The rising threat of improvised explosive devices — one of the most successful attack strategies — has significantly increased the number of threats on the ground, in the form of suicide–bombs, vehicle–bombs, etc., thereby requiring the development of more effective blast risk mitigation measures. However, the modern proliferation of such measures poses the problem of evaluating their cost–effectiveness, which prompts the need for a comprehensive optimization methodology — capable of maximizing the resilience of the built environment. The aim of this paper is to lay out the foundations of a resilience–based framework for quantifying the performance of different infrastructure elements incurring blast threats, by means of functionality and resilience indicators. The proposed framework can quantify the consequences of multiple outdoor explosions typified by the emblematic car–bomb scenario. The level of localized damage is evaluated via pressure–impulse diagrams; local failures are then aggregated into the definition of resilience and functionality indicators, designed to provide the analyst with a comprehensive picture of global damage, residual functionality, and downtime of the structural system.

Full textAbstract:
The detection of flaws and cavities in thin plywood boards saves money for manufactures of a variety of products. Flaws in the boundaries of pieces cut from plywood makes them useless. Therefore, it is essential to detect and locate knots and flaws in plywood boards before the cutting process. A detection and locating system was developed to detect knots and cavities in thin plywood boards using Digital Image Processing and light enhancement methods. The system comprises of three major components: a light source, a digital camera and a computer. The intense light source is used to brighten and reveal flaws and defects in the plywood board in an apparatus. The digital camera captures a digitized picture of the lighted board and stores it on the computer. Finally, a program written in Matlab™ code analyzes the captured image of the board, compares it to a template, and indicates whether flaws are located on the template’s cut lines. The advantage of using these methods is that it allows for the examination and analysis of the plywood without compromising its integrity. When a flaw is detected, the system repositions the plywood image in search of finding an orientation that will allow all defects to avoid cut lines. The process is repeated against several templates until the correct match is found. Once the match and usable orientation is found, a prompt will appear on the computer screen telling the system operator the template name and the orientation of the plywood board.

Full textAbstract:
The goal of this paper is to begin mapping perspectives of engineering faculty on barriers and opportunities related to the integration of climate change in the analysis and design of engineered systems (CC&ES). Although both sustainability and renewable energy have been receiving increasing attention in engineering education for quite some time, climate change, especially as it relates to engineered systems, has yet to become a widely accepted topic of teaching and research. From recent literature on engineering education and from interviews with engineering faculty, a picture emerges of whether and how climate change is an important dimension in the analysis and design of engineered systems. From those sources, we begin to see what it might take to incorporate the relationship between climate change and engineered systems in engineering education, what the barriers and opportunities to this incorporation might be, and what strategies might be available to institutionalize this incorporation in engineering education. Support for this paper comes from a larger research project on “Climate Change, Engineered Systems, and Society” which has the goal to develop conceptual and educational frameworks and networks of change agents to promote effective formal and informal education for engineering students, policymakers and the public at large. The project partners include the National Academy of Engineering (NAE), Arizona State University, Boston Museum of Science, Colorado School of Mines (CSM), and the University of Virginia. Within this larger team, the CSM team is planning to develop a testbed for the incorporation of CC&ES in engineering education. Hence, our first step is to find related curricular innovations in the engineering education literature and perspectives from engineering faculty on barriers and opportunities to the integration of CC&ES in engineering education.

Full textAbstract:
The analysis of the fortified routes in the city of Pavia (Italy) clarifies the adaptation of the medieval capital in the historical politics of the Mediterranean, where the evolution of the defensive system till the Spanish bastioned walls (sixteenth century) identifies the updating of the Lombard tradition to the practices of modern military architecture. Their defensive structures survive in the urban design of the contemporary city, in the configuration of infrastructures and urban aggregates, reflecting the consequences of the great processes of their dismantling (from 1905). The comparison between historical investigations and the current ruins, fragmented into disconnected portions between the historical bastions and the monumental gates, shows a picture of abandonment of the military structures that generates repeated collapses and emerging risk factors towards the surrounding densified urban context. The experimentation of military architectural approaches of documentation at the urban scale, developed by the research laboratory DAda Lab. of University of Pavia, defines an analysis process through the digital representation of the urban remains that is suitable for the preservation of the survived city walls and the enhancement of their fortified identity. The application of different 3D LiDAR systems for morphological acquisition promotes an integrated digitation process of scansets on the fortified system controlled at the urban metric scale: the experimentation applies the use of a mobile real time scanner for the digital tracking of historical routes, on which to implement the georeferencing of detailed static scanworlds, integrated in correspondence of Bastions and Monumental Gates. The optimization of architectural data density and the integration between data contribute to finalize a 3D territorial database predisposed to the architectural modelling of volumes and scenarios of structural instability of the military ruins, defining a virtual framework of widespread knowledge for the historical conservation and urban prevention of the fortified system.

Full textAbstract:
Bytom is a polish, post-industrial city which is looking for a new vision of the future. City dwellers are between a history related to coal and new challenges. It is not easy for them to understand that industry is a thing of the past and you need to look for yourself and your identity again. Groups of social leaders are trying to show a different picture of the city and engage more and more people to act for the city. Building the city's identity and new image are basic ideas. However, in the era of global discussion about climate change and the technologization of city life, it becomes important to become aware of the role of greenery and community. In the article I want to show how Bytom social activists promote and animate the local community in the spirit of collectivism and improving the quality of life in the city. The assumption of the described groups was the maximum involvement of residents in activities to improve the space in Bytom. In the article I want to show what tools they used and what effects they obtained. Particularly important here are activities that contribute to making the community aware of the role of greenery and pedestrian space. The effects of social activities show more clearly how important are strong communities opposing local authorities and supporting good investment decisions. Analysis of the activities of social groups showed how important local leaders play and how various methods and tools used by them gave measurable effects in the city space. The bottom-up activity helped to understand the advantages of a pedestrian city, which is Bytom, and to show how little it takes for the city to gain a new image.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The most common challenge in horizontal drilling is depth uncertainty which can be due to poor seismic data or interpretation. It is arguable that a successful landing of the wellbore in the reservoir optimally and within the desired zone is the most challenging in most geosteering operation. The presence of fluid contacts such as oil-water-contact (OWC) and gas-oil-contact (GOC) complicates the whole drilling process, most especially if these fluid contacts are not well defined or known. Additionally, the ability to map the boundaries of the reservoir as the BHA drills the lateral section is an added advantage to remaining within the desired reservoir section. The success of any reservoir navigation service where seismic uncertainty at the reservoir top is high will rely largely on how effective the geosteering system is and how the geosteering engineer is able to react promptly to changes while landing the well in the reservoir and drilling the lateral section with without exiting the reservoir. Reservoir Navigation Service (RNS) provides the means for the drilling near horizontal or horizontal wells for the purpose of increasing hydrocarbon extraction from the earth's subsurface. This involves the use of a pre-defined bottom hole assembly (BHA) with inbuilt downhole logging while drilling (LWD) and measurement while drilling (MWD) sensors. The measurements from these downhole sensors are uplinked to the surface of the wellbore where they are converted to meaningful petrophysical data. The goal is to use the downhole petrophysical data such as gamma ray, propagation resistivity and so on, to update an existing pre-well geological model of a section of the earth in such a way that the final result depicts the true model picture of the earth subsurface. This paper focuses on using well CBH-44L to showcase how the use of real-time distance-to-boundary (D2B) measurement from a deep reading azimuthal propagation resistivity tool is use to correct for depth uncertainty in seismic, thereby, improving the chance of successfully landing and drilling a horizontal well.

Full textAbstract:
Today, 3D printing is taking its constantly growing part in a lot of different manufacturing industries, educational institutions and a lot of entrepreneurship and home businesses. Besides prototyping and proof of concept, utilization of 3D printing is undoubtedly spreading its roots in manufacturing of production and spare parts but also in aiding research and teaching processes. 3D printing has reinforced the self-employed segment of market called makers but also has influenced forming a significant number of educational online video channels. A lot of crowdfunded web sites promote affordable desktop 3D printers and 3D modellers and designers who design models exclusively for 3D printing, taking its specificity into account. Also, a community of designers, through 3D printing hubs where their work can be purchased, are thriving. There is also a massive trend in developing new materials for 3D printing such as electrically conductive composites, fire-resistant materials and materials with high strength or resilience. In the graphic industry, there is some progress regarding the utilization of 3D printing in the form of tactile maps and picture books, manufacturing customizable packaging, embossing tools, making parts for colour measuring equipment and printing of textiles. However, there is undoubtedly undiscovered usage intended for improvements in this branch of industry. The first part of this research aims to present existing researches and projects regarding the usage of 3D printing in creative and interdisciplinary industries such as graphic industry. The second part of this paper focuses on different initiatives in aiding educational process worldwide, and some of the methodology of implementing 3D printing in education. In the final part of this research, the potential of 3D printing for educational purposes of graphic engineering and design students is discussed. Methodology for getting theoretical and practical knowledge is proposed through a designed catalogue of 3D printing parameters. The purpose of this catalogue is to introduce undergraduate students with one of the most used and affordable 3D printing technique known as Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) and to provide them with basic knowledge of 3D printing parameters which further on can be expanded and supplemented.

In ASME 2016 International Design Engineering Technical Conferences and Computers and Information in Engineering Conference. American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/detc2016-60100.
Full textAbstract:
Recent research has investigated methods based on design-by-analogy meant to enhance concept generation. While these analogies can be developed in different ways and can come from many different areas, one of the most common methods is to use key customer needs or key functions as the starting point. One approach uses these key terms to seed a search for grammatically similar words. While these methods are promising, they can be cumbersome and difficult to apply in engineering classrooms or industrial product development settings. This paper presents further evaluation of the Analogy Seeded Mind-Maps method, a new method to prompt generation of analogous solution principles drawn from multiple analogical domains. We randomly select a set of 10–15 words from a graph of grammatically analogical synonyms of a functional design requirement “seed” and populate the first-level nodes of a mind-map with the selected textual analogies. This mind-map then serves as a visual tool that is utilized during the concept generation process. The effectiveness of the tool in generating concepts has been evaluated in previous studies. In the current study, we evaluate the effect of substituting pictures for the verbal analogies in the Analogy Seeded Mind-Maps method. The study involved student volunteers who were recruited from a senior-level design methodology course. The students were asked to complete a simple concept generation task (in teams) using either a purely verbal version of the Analogy Seeded Mind-Maps method or the alternative version that relied on pictorial analogies. The results were evaluated for quantity, quality and novelty of the concepts generated using the two methods. Analysis of the results shows that there is a statistically significant difference in the novelty of ideas generated by the two methods, with the pictorial version producing a larger number of novel ideas than the purely verbal version. While the differences in quantity and quality are not statistically significant at the P-Value < 0.05 level, there are differences that approach this level of statistical significance. Further studies are needed to determine if there is any benefit to a method that combines both verbal and pictorial analogies.

Climate change will increase weather induced risks to forests, and thus effective adaptation measures are needed. In Säätyö project funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, we have summarized the data that facilitate adaptation measures, developed weather and climate services that benefit forestry, and mapped what kind of new weather and climate services are needed in forestry. In addition, we have recorded key further development needs to promote adaptation. The Säätyö project developed a service product describing the harvesting conditions of trees based on the soil moisture assessment. The output includes an analysis of the current situation and a 10-day forecast. In the project we also tested the usefulness of long forecasts beyond three months. The weather forecasting service is sidelined and supplemented by another co-operation project between the Finnish Meteorological Institute and Metsäteho called HarvesterSeasons (https://harvesterseasons.com/). The HarvesterSeasons service utilizes long-term forecasts of up to 6 months to assess terrain bearing conditions. A test version of a wind damage risk tool was developed in cooperation with the Department of Forest Sciences of the University of Eastern Finland and the Finnish Meteorological Institute. It can be used to calculate the wind speeds required in a forest area for wind damage (falling trees). It is currently only suitable for researcher use. In the Säätyö project the possibility of locating the most severe wind damage areas immediately after a storm was also tested. The method is based on the spatial interpolation of wind observations. The method was used to analyze storms that caused forest damages in the summer and fall of 2020. The produced maps were considered illustrative and useful to those responsible for compiling the situational picture. The accumulation of snow on tree branches, can be modeled using weather data such as rainfall, temperature, air humidity, and wind speed. In the Säätyö project, the snow damage risk assessment model was further developed in such a way that, in addition to the accumulated snow load amount, the characteristics of the stand and the variations in terrain height were also taken into account. According to the verification performed, the importance of abiotic factors increased under extreme snow load conditions (winter 2017-2018). In ordinary winters, the importance of biotic factors was emphasized. According to the comparison, the actual snow damage could be explained well with the tested model. In the interviews and workshop, the uses of information products, their benefits, the conditions for their introduction and development opportunities were mapped. According to the results, diverse uses and benefits of information products and services were seen. Information products would make it possible to develop proactive forest management, which would reduce the economic costs caused by wind and snow damages. A more up-to-date understanding of harvesting conditions, enabled by information products, would enhance the implementation of harvesting and harvesting operations and the management of timber stocks, as well as reduce terrain, trunk and root damage. According to the study, the introduction of information is particularly affected by the availability of timeliness. Although the interviewees were not currently willing to pay for the information products developed in the project, the interviews highlighted several suggestions for the development of information products, which could make it possible to commercialize them.
