Abstract:
Este artigo parte do filme Sin City: A cidade do pecado (Robert Rodriguez e Frank Miller, 2005) para analisar o conceito de noir. A hipótese aqui é de que o noir é um (sub)gênero cinematográfico/literário construído a posteriori, fruto de múltiplas e complexas influências por meio de um dialogismo tautológico entre diversas linguagens (literatura, cinema, quadrinhos etc.), consolidando-se apenas no chamado neo-noir. Dessa forma, este artigo é um exercício que busca reconstruir brevemente a trajetória do noir, passando pela literatura policial do século XIX, o romance noir dos anos 1920 e 1930, o filme noir “clássico” dos anos 1940 e 1950 para, finalmente, deter-se na análise dos quadrinhos da série Sin City (anos 1990) e sua adaptação cinematográfica no início do século XXI.

Abstract:
Pattaya is one of the most popular tourist destinations attracting international travelers. Given its uniquely cosmopolitan nature, it can be regarded as one of the most multilingual and multicultural areas, making it linguistically stand out from other big cities. This paper, therefore, aims to explore the linguistic landscape of Pattaya’s two main streets by analyzing the data (542 signs) collected from commercial signs. The results present the variation and dominance of the use of languages in those public spaces. By highlighting the differences among the various linguistic landscapes, it draws on the factors of business types and population dominance.

Abstract:

Syftet med min analys är att se via en neoformalistisk stilanalys vilka grepp som filmen Sin City har hämtat från film noir. Jag ser även via intertextuella kopplingar vad Sin City har hämtat från serietidningen som filmen baseras på. Fokus i analysen ligger dock på fyra grepp som jag anser är de mest klassiska film noirgreppen; Ljussättning, Femme fatale, en mörk värld och protagonisten. Jag kommer bl.a. fram till att Sin Citys använder sig av klassiska film noirstilgrepp men drar dem till det extrema, kanske för att passa in på den serievärld som filmen är länkad till. Filmen använder sig även flitigt av hypermarkerade objekt för att leda in åskådaren på mer estetiska tankebanor.

Abstract:
Although adaptations characterize a number of changes during the process of translation from one medium to another, several of them can be considered as formal choices. By analyzing the 2005 motion picture Sin City, directed by Robert Rodriguez, adapted from the eponymous graphic novel by Frank Miller published in the early nineties, I compare the two works and go through the formal aspects that differ from one another storyline, script, visual, framing and sound to better understand the choices made. The concepts of adaptation and intermediality by Madalena Punzi (2007), Ilmeda Welehan (1999) and Adalbert Müller (2013) were used. Studies by Brian McFarlane (1996) also helped in the choice of methodological procedures adopted for the analysis. The comparison between the two versions is then done without restricting an attempt to map the possible (in)fidelities during the transposition process. Instead, I seek to identify the ways in which the narratives are related, as well as the part played in the production of meaning for the viewer and how the specificities of each medium film and comics have determined the final result.
Embora adaptações caracterizem uma série de mudanças durante o processo de tradução de uma mídia para outra, várias delas podem ser consideradas como escolhas formais. Ao analisar filme de 2005 Sin City, de Robert Rodriguez, adaptado da graphic novel homônima de Frank Miller publicada no início dos anos noventa, comparo as duas obras e considero aspectos formais que distinguem uma produção artística da outra enredo, roteiro, visual, enquadramento e som para melhor compreender as escolhas. Foram utilizados os conceitos de intermidialidade e adaptação de Madalena Punzi (2007), Ilmeda Welehan (1999) e Adalberto Müller (2013). Os estudos de Brian McFarlane (1996) auxiliaram, ainda, na escolha dos procedimentos metodológicos adotados para a análise. A comparação entre as duas versões é feita, então, sem se restringir a uma tentativa de mapear as possíveis (in)fidelidades durante o processo de transposição. Em vez disso, busco identificar as formas com que as narrativas se relacionam, bem como a função desempenhada na produção de sentido para o espectador e como as especificidades de cada meio cinema e quadrinhos determinam o resultado final.

Thesis, Umeå universitet, Företagsekonomi, 2013. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:umu:diva-76842.

Abstract:
Örnsköldsviks kommun påbörjade 2005 ett projekt som kallas Världsklass 2015 bland annat med anledning att få bukt med nedåtgående befolkningssiffror. För att nå den vision som projektet eftersträvar ligger en viktig del i att stärka stadens varumärke. I problembakgrunden har vi sett att det finns mycket kvar att upptäcka inom det teoretiska området city branding. Många städer förstår inte fullt ut hur de ska utveckla och kontrollera sina varumärken. Det har visats att konventionella teorier från corporate branding området även går att använda för att analysera en stads varumärke. Slutligen har det i dagsläget framkommit att det genomförts för lite studier med fokus på två intressentgrupper. Av denna anledning har vi i denna studie om Örnsköldsviks varumärke valt att undersöka två intressentgrupper: invånare och företag i Örnsköldsvik. Problemformuleringen som styrt denna studie är följande:   Hur kan en stads varumärke stärkas genom att undersöka hur dess intressentgrupper uppfattar staden i dagsläget?   För att undersöka invånarnas och företagens uppfattning om varumärket har vi genomfört en fallstudie med två parallella metoder. En kvantitativ undersökning i form av en enkät för invånarna och för att undersöka företagens har vi genomfört en kvalitativ undersökning bestående av intervjuer. Populationen i den kvantitativa undersökningen består av invånare i åldersgruppen 19-34 år. I den kvalitativa undersökningen har fyra företag intervjuats. Baserat på problemformuleringen och syftet har studien genomförts med ett deduktivt angreppssätt och kunskapssynen är den hermeneutiska.   Den teoretiska referensramen är uppbyggd för att kunna svara på studiens problemformulering och syfte. Inom city branding området har ett antal framework gällande städers varumärken utarbetats. Utifrån dessa har vi valt ut 7 faktorer som kan ses som viktiga för en stads varumärke. Dessa är, namngivna av oss författare på svenska: ”Omgivningen i Örnsköldsvik”, ”Möjligheter i Örnsköldsvik”, ”Nöjes- och fritidsaktiviteter i Örnsköldsvik”, ”Invånarna i Örnsköldsvik”, ”Grundläggande förutsättningar i Örnsköldsvik”, ”Attityd till Örnsköldsviks varumärke”, ”Intresse för Örnsköldsviks varumärke”. Vi har även undersökt respektive faktor i förhållande till hur väl den stämmer överens med visionen för projektet Världsklass 2015. Att en stads marknadsföring stämmer överens med hur verkligheten uppfattas är något som betonats inom city branding litteraturen. Slutligen inkluderar vi även corporate branding i undersökningsmodellen som syftar till att undersöka helheten av en stads varumärke.   Slutsatserna som kan dras i denna studie är att samtliga faktorer i undersökningsmodellen är viktiga för att en stad ska kunna stärka sitt varumärke. Dock har vi ej funnit lika starkt empiriskt stöd för faktorn ”Nöjes- och fritidsaktiviteter i Örnsköldsvik” även om den inte kan avfärdas som oviktig. Genom att undersöka dessa faktorer har vi funnit förbättringsområden som genom att åtgärdas kan stärka Örnsköldsviks varumärke. Vi har även funnit att en stad kan stärka sitt varumärke genom att säkerställa att budskap om varumärket stämmer överens med den upplevda verkligheten samt att detta budskap är enhetligt. Ytterligare en slutsats vi kan dra är att det föreligger skillnader mellan hur Örnsköldsviks invånare och företag uppfattar stadens varumärke och att företagarnas uppfattningar generellt sett är mer positiva.

Abstract:
This paper engages in an initial exercise of re-imaging one of the most well-known—and most misperceived—cities on the planet. Las Vegas’ one-sided reputation will first be expanded into a series of binary pairings, and then the problematic friction between them will be highlighted. While a structuralist approach, the added dimensionality by these established polarities will reveal the fertile potential of their liminal gradients. As new identities materialize, important questions about the future of Las Vegas will begin to arise. A surprisingly contested and isolated urban condition in perpetual tension between diminishing water resources, vested capital interests, troubled sociological phenomena, expanding military operations, and delimiting natural preservation practices, Las Vegas is volunteered as a city ripe for further critical analysis and exploration.

Abstract:
Abstract: This paper is an attempt to analyse and decode Le Corbusier’s application of his exceptionally singular and complex understanding of the order of the natural world in his urban masterpiece- Chandigarh City. It was Le Corbusier’s strong belief that architecture was a personal search for truth, a truth that was contained in the organic harmony of nature. He was convinced that with the advent of the machine in the 19th century, ties between man and nature had been severed. For the sake of the citizen’s physiological and psychological health, he felt it was essential that future cities focus on reconnecting man to nature through large green parks open to the sky, unpolluted by the machine. His own formative years in the lush forests of the Swiss countryside, sketching and abstracting natural forms helped him observe and internalise the inherent logic in their geometry. Over the years, a deeper study of mathematical proportions of the human body led Le Corbusier to propose the Modulor as a standard for the human scale in architecture. This only further cemented his belief that there was no separate natural order and man-made order; man was a part of nature and therefore a part of the natural order as well. However, it was the spiritual aspect of city planning that fascinated Le Corbusier the most. After a life long study of natural forms, he was fully convinced that this Spirit was hidden in the geometries of nature. To him, it was essential that the twentieth century city employ this spiritual order as a means restore harmony between man, nature and the cosmos. Resumen: Este trabajo conforma un intento para analizar y decodificar la aplicación de Le Corbusier en su comprensión excepcionalmente singular y compleja del orden del mundo natural en su obra maestra urbana - La Ciudad de Chandigarh. La firme creencia de Le Corbusier era que la arquitectura constituía una búsqueda personal de la verdad, una verdad establecida en la armonía orgánica de la naturaleza. Estaba convencido de que con el surgimiento de las máquinas en el siglo XIX, los lazos entre el hombre y la naturaleza se habían roto. Por el bien de la salud fisiológica y sicológica de los ciudadanos, sentía que era fundamental que las ciudades futuras se enfocaran en reconectar al hombre con la naturaleza a través de grandes parques verdes abiertos al cielo, sin ser contaminados por máquinas. Sus propios años de formación en los frondosos bosques del campo Suizo, esbozando y captando formas naturales lo ayudaron a observar e internalizar la lógica inherente en su geometría. Con el transcurso de los años, un estudio más profundo de proporciones matemáticas del cuerpo humano, llevaron a que Le Corbusier propusiera el Modulor como un estándar para la escala humana en arquitectura. Esto sólo consiguió consolidar aun más su creencia de que no había una separación entre el orden natural y el hecho por el hombre; el hombre era parte de la naturaleza y por lo tanto parte del orden natural también. Sin embargo, fue el aspecto espiritual de la planificación de la ciudad lo que más fascinó a Le Corbusier. Luego de un estudio de formas naturales a lo largo de la vida, se convenció por completo acerca de que este Espíritu estaba escondido en las geometrías de la naturaleza. Para él era primordial que la ciudad del siglo veinte empleara este orden espiritual como un medio para restaurar la armonía entre el hombre, la naturaleza y el cosmos.

Abstract:
Resumen: La obra de Le Corbusier es una amplia exploración de soluciones urbanas y arquitectónicas que plantean relaciones de continuidad entre edificio y ciudad, arquitectura y entorno, espacio interior y espacio exterior: rampas, cuerpos bajos, entrantes y salientes, plantas libres y fachadas con espesor, son algunos de los elementos de integración y/o de mediación utilizados por el maestro suizo. El Millowners Association Building de 1954 ubicado en la ciudad de Almedabad en la India, y el Carpenter Center for Visual Arts de la Graduate School of Design of Harvard de 1961-1964 en la ciudad de Cambridge, en Estados Unidos, son dos edificios que presentan rasgos característicos en común: una volumetría básica, uso del hormigón armado visto, uso de similares elementos de fachada y una rampa que sobresale del edificio y que confiere a ambos un carácter reconocible y peculiar. Los dos edificios ya han sido puestos en relación por diferentes críticos como Giedion 1967, o Frampton 1975, e incluso se ha considerado uno como antecedente del otro. Sin embargo, un análisis comparativo permite verificar que aunque la rampa es el elemento común más evidente, éste juega un papel muy diferente en la definición de las relaciones urbanas de cada uno de los edificios con su entorno inmediato y con la ciudad. Y además que también, en la relación del edificio con la ciudad entran en juego otros elementos y soluciones arquitectónicas, que de manera solidaria, son determinantes definidores de su relación con el entorno y su carácter urbano. Abstract: The work of Le Corbusier is a comprehensive exploration of urban and architectural solutions which show continuity relationships between city and building, architecture and environment, interior and exterior space throughout elements of integration and / or mediation used by the Swiss master like ramps, lower volumes, incoming and outgoing, open floor plans and thick facades. The Association Millowners Building (1954) located in the city of Almedabad in India, and the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts at the Graduate School of Design of Harvard (1961 to 1964) located in the city of Cambridge, in the United States, are two buildings that have some characteristics in common, like a basic volume, use of reinforced concrete, using similar facade elements and a projected ramp gives a recognizable and distinctive character of both buildings. Different authors compared the two buildings as Giedion 1967 or 1975 Frampton, and have stated that one has been based on the other. However, a comparative analysis verifies that although the ramp is the most obvious common element, it plays a very different role in the definition of urban relationships of each of the buildings with their immediate environment and the city. Moreover other elements configure crucial aspects in the relationship between the buildings and the urban space creating architectural solutions and interesting relations that are crucial for the definition of the relationship with the environment and the urban character of every building.

Abstract:
The Gold Coast has one of the strongest and most resilient city brands in Australia. Monikers such as the ‘glitter strip’, ‘Sin City’, ‘Australia’s playground’ and ‘famous for fun’ have variously been applied to brand the Gold Coast, with its identity long touted as revolving around ‘sun, surf and sand’. Belinda McKay (2005, p. 68) observes that the Gold Coast is often seen as a place to escape to, ‘where new possibilities can be imagined and enacted’: this sense of escape from the ordinary remains a strong element of the Gold Coast’s place identity.

Abstract:
Im Rahmen des Smart City Programms der Stadt Bamberg wurde eine Befragung der Zivilgesellschaft durchgeführt, mit dem Ziel, Informationen über die aktuelle Geodaten-Nutzung und potenzielle Nutzungsszenarien für ein städtisches Geodatenportal zu sammeln. Der verwendete Fragebogen und die Ergebnisse werden dargestellt, sowie mögliche Gründe für den Umfrage-Abbruch diskutiert. Es zeigt sich, dass unter den Befragten, die die Umfrage vollständig ausgefüllt haben, ein großer Anteil bereits Geodaten nutzt. Diese Personen und Organisationen sind bereits gut in der Lage ihre Bedarfe und Ideen einzubringen, während andere Teile der Zivilgesellschaft noch keinen Nutzen von Geodaten für sich sehen. Die abschließende Diskussion der gesammelten Use Cases bietet Ansatzpunkte für die weitere Auseinandersetzung mit möglichen Funktionalitäten einer Bamberger Datenplattform.

Colomb, Claire, and Tatiana Moreira de Souza. Regulating Short-Term Rentals: Platform-based property rentals in European cities: the policy debates. Property Research Trust, May 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.52915/kkkd3578.

Full text
Abstract:
Short-term rentals mediated by digital platforms have positive and negative impacts that are unevenly distributed among socio-economic groups and places. Detrimental impacts on the housing market and quality of life of long-term residents have been particular contentious in some cities. • In the 12 cities studied in the report (Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Brussels, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Prague, Rome and Vienna), city governments have responded differently to the growth of short-term rentals. • The emerging local regulations of short-term rentals take multiple forms and exhibit various degrees of stringency, ranging from rare cases of laissez-faire to a few cases of partial prohibition or strict quantitative control. Most city governments have sought to find a middle-ground approach that differentiates between the professional rental of whole units and the occasional rental of one’s home/ primary residence. • The regulation of short-term rentals is contentious and highly politicised. Six broad categories of interest groups and non-state actors actively participate in the debates with contrasting positions: advocates of the ‘sharing’ or ‘collaborative’ economy; corporate platforms; professional organisatons of short-term rental operators; new associations of hosts or ‘home-sharers’; the hotel and hospitality industry; and residents’ associations/citizens’ movements. • All city governments face difficulties in implementing and enforcing the regulations, due to a lack of sufficient resources and to the absence of accurate and comprehensive data on individual hosts. That data is held by corporate platforms, which have generally not accepted to release it (with a few exceptions) nor to monitor the content of their listings against local rules. • The relationships between platforms and city governments have oscillated between collaboration and conflict. Effective implementation is impossible without the cooperation of platforms. • In the context of the European Union, the debate has taken a supranational dimension, as two pieces of EU law frame the possibility — and acceptable forms — of regulation of online platforms and of short-term rentals in EU member states: the 2000 E-Commerce Directive and the 2006 Services Directive. • For regulation to be effective, the EU legal framework should be revised to ensure platform account- ability and data disclosure. This would allow city (and other ti ers of) governments to effectively enforce the regulations that they deem appropriate. • Besides, national and regional governments, who often control the legislative framework that defines particular types of short-term rentals, need to give local governments the necessary tools to be able to exercise their ‘right to regulate’ in the name of public interest objectives.

Full text
Abstract:
On May 7–8, 2001, the Population Council and the Center for Reproductive Health Research & Policy of the University of California, San Francisco, convened a technical seminar in New York City on the use of misoprostol for women’s health indications. The seminar was designed to provide a forum for researchers, providers, women’s health advocates, and educators to exchange information with the goal of advancing the potential of misoprostol to improve women’s health. Participants discussed the state of the art in research, examined current clinical use of misoprostol, and created strategies for the future. The first day focused on scientific and clinical aspects of misoprostol use. The second day’s discussion centered on the future of misoprostol for women’s health, including identifying priorities for research and the role of provider groups and women’s health and advocacy organizations in helping to ensure misoprostol’s continued, appropriate use. At the end of each session, the group had an opportunity to share ideas and discuss unanswered questions. This report covers the key issues raised by each speaker and highlights general areas of discussion among participants.
