Abstract:
Tiivistelmä. Tarkastelimme kahden erilaisen työyhteisön slangia pro gradu -tutkielmassamme Asiakaspalvelualan slangeista: vartija- ja McDonalds-slangin vertailua. Informantteina toimivat Oulun alueella työskentelevät vartijat sekä Kempeleen McDonald’sin työntekijät. Käytimme aineisonkeruumenetelminä kyselylomakkeita, haastetteluita sekä osallistuvaa havainnointia. Tutkimuksemme tavoitteena oli selvittää työyhteisöjen slangisanojen muodostumista sekä niiden tunnettuutta ja käyttöä. Selvitimme myös slangin käyttäjien havaintoja siitä, miten slangi heidän mielestään muodostuu ja miksi slangia käytetään. Tällaista kahta työpaikkaslangia vertailevaa tutkimusta ei ole aiemmin tehty. Uusi näkökulma on myös se, että tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan slanginkäyttäjien omia käsityksiä slangin käytöstä. Tutkimuksemme mukaan molemmissa slangeissa slangisanat muodostuvat useimmiten muokkaamalla sanoja äänteellisesti. McDonald’s-slangissa lainasanoista muodostuu toiseksi eniten slangisanoja. Vartijoiden slangissa lainaperäiset slangisanat ovat vähemmistönä. Johtimellisista sanoista Ari-johtimellisia sanoja oli molemmissa aineistoissa selkeästi eniten. Toiseksi suureksi ryhmäksi muodostuivat U-johtimelliset sanat. Molempien tutkittavien työyhteisöjen naisinformantit tuntevat slangisanastoa miehiä vähemmän. He myös ilmoittivat käyttävänsä slangia miehiä vähemmän. Eniten slangia käytetään kollegoiden ja esimiehen kanssa, vähiten asiakkaan kanssa. McDonald’sin tiiviissä työyhteisössä slangisanat omaksutaan nopeammin kuin vartijoiden hajanaisessa työyhteisössä. Pikaruokaravintolan työntekijät myös tuntevat suuremman osan esitellystä slangisanastosta kuin vartijat. Molempien tutkittavien slangien informantit mainitsivat useimmiten lyhentämisen keinona muodostaa slangisanoja. Muita informanttien havaitsemia sanamuodostuskeinoja ovat muun muassa sanojen äänteellinen muokkaaminen ja lainasanat. Slangin käyttämisen syitä kysyttäessä vastaajat viittasivat useimmiten sujuvuuteen, kommunikoinnin helppouteen ja nopeuteen. Vartijoiden vastauksissa korostui lisäksi se, että slangia käytetään myös salaamiseen ja koodikielenä. McDonald’sin informanttien vastauksissa nousi puolestaan esiin yhteenkuuluvuus ja slangin hauskuus.

Abstract:
This project is a step towards automatic firefighting. The goal is to decrease the number of personal injuries by replacing the human firefighter with robots or similar technical tools. Especially in very hostile environments due to risk of explosions or building collapse. A robot is easy to replace and can be maneuvered from a safe distance. The idea of the project comes from the company Drones Networking which aims for developing a totally autonomous firefighting system. The result of this project is a prototype of a robot which handles the hose during firefighting.
Projektet är ett steg mot att automatisera brandbekämpning. Målet är att minimera personskador genom att ersätta brandmän med robotar och andra tekniska hjälpmedel. Framförallt i farliga miljöer där det finns risk för t.ex. explosioner eller ras. Robotarna är lätta att ersätta och kan manövreras säkert på behörigt avstånd. Idén kommer från företaget Drones Networking som strävar efter att ta fram ett autonomt brandsläckningssystem. Resultatet av projektet är en prototyp av en robot som ska sköta slanghanteringen vid brandbekämpningen.

Abstract:
Tarkastelen pro gradu -tutkielmassani suomalaisten Japani-harrastajien slangia. Japani-harrastajilla tarkoitan henkilöitä, jotka ovat kiinnostuneet japanilaisesta popkulttuurista, kuten animaatiosta ja sarjakuvasta. Olen tutkinut, miten slangisanat jakautuvat sanaluokkiin, miten slangisanoja muodostetaan, millaisissa konteksteissa slangisanoja käytetään ja miten slangin avulla rakennetaan Japani-harrastajaidentiteettiä. Aineistoni koostuu kyselylomakkeella kerätyistä slangisanoista ja ryhmähaastattelusta, johon on osallistunut viisi informanttia. Olen luokitellut slangisanat sanaluokittain ja sanastolähteittäin. Suurin osa Japani-harrastajien slangisanoista, noin 92 prosenttia, on substantiiveja. Toiseksi suurin sanaluokkaryhmä on verbit. Japani-harrastajien slangin suurin sanastolähde on lainasanat, joista valtaosa on lainattu englannista ja japanista. Toiseksi suurin sanastolähde on itse muodostetut sanat, joita on lähes kolmasosa koko slangisana-aineistosta. Loput sanat ovat vanhoja, äänneasua muuttamalla muodostettuja sanoja ja vanhoja sanoja uudessa merkityksessä. Olen hyödyntänyt ryhmähaastattelun analyysissä sisältölähtöistä diskurssianalyysiä ja tarkastellut, miten slangisanoja käytetään puheessa ja kirjoituksessa, millainen funktio slangisanoilla on, miten sanasto uusiutuu ja millaisia nimityksiä Japani-harrastajista käytetään. Japani-harrastajat käyttävät slangia sekä puheessa että kirjoituksessa, mutta esimerkiksi kuvalautojen kieltä käytetään vähemmän puheessa. Slangia käytetään erilaisten harrastajien nimeämiseen ja erittelemiseen, oman harrastajuuden määrittelyyn ja ei-harrastajista erottautumiseen. Japani-harrastajien slangissa uudet sanat elävät vanhempien sanojen rinnalla, mutta sanastoon syntyy uusia sanoja esimerkiksi uusien animaatiosarjojen kautta sekä lainaamalla sanoja muista kielistä ja harrastajayhteisöistä. Japani-harrastajien nimitykset ovat usein itseironisessa käytössä, mutta joukossa on myös paljon negatiivisia nimityksiä, jotka kertovat erilaisuuden tunteesta. Käyttämällä slangisanoja rakennetaan kansainvälistä, yhteenkuuluvuutta korostavaa ja erilaisuutta arvostavaa Japani-harrastajaidentiteettiä.

Abstract:

I det här arbetet tar jag upp vad det finns för slang i Norrköping. Jag jämför slangord mellan fyra generationer i en undersökning som består av en enkätdel, där informanterna har fått svara skriftligt och en muntlig intervjudel som utgår ifrån svaren på enkäten. Jag har här intervjuat grupper där män är för sig och kvinnor för sig, fyra stycken ifrån varje kön och generation. Totalt är det 32 stycken informanter. De är födda i Norrköping eller inflyttade några få år efter födseln. Alla har arbetarföräldrar. Jag knyter samman undersökningen med en teoretisk del i början av arbetet där jag tar upp tidigare forskning i ämnet. Tillsammans med resultatet av undersökningen följer kommentarsdelar som mer ingående tar upp den historiska bakgrunden för orden. I diskussionen följer jag sedan upp resultaten och presenterar skillnader mellan sätten att intervjua som visade sig och framför allt skillnaden mellan de fyra generationernas slang.

Vad jag har velat få fram med arbetet är hur slangen skiljer sig mellan generationerna och kanske också könen och varför. Resultatet är entydigt, även om jag inte kan påstå att undersökningen är allmänt gällande då den är i så liten skala. För varje generation finns det nya företeelser i slangen. Varför det gör det är därför att den huvudsakliga delen av slang skapas av ungdomsgenerationerna i det samhälle som de lever och formas av just vid det tillfället. Samhället förändras på många sätt, så också slang. Den huvudsakliga skillnaden mellan män och kvinnor är vilka ord vi producerar slangord för. Män har en förkärlek till substantiv medan kvinnor är mer bundna till adjektiv och adverb.

Abstract:
We shall investigate the use of Swahili slang in Freddy Macha`s tiny collection of short stories Twen `zetu Ulaya (DSM 1984), and especially in his short story Check-bob This is arguably the only epistolary short story in modern Swahili literature; in fact, epistolary novels are uncommon in anglophone Afiica as a whole. In this narrative two former lovers show abuses on each other and their four letters - two by each character - unfold the story of a selfish young woman who shamelessly exploited her boyfiiend and the manner in which he paid her back with her own coin. It is interesting to note how the same events are presented from two different perspectives and hence evaluated differently.

Abstract:
Planlegging av nye og effektive transportveier øker etterspørselen etter å krysse bredere fjorder og høyere fjell. Dette fører til at broer må sette nye lengderekorder og at ny teknologi må utvikles. Dagens hengebroer begrenses av stabilitetsproblemer ved høye vindhastigheter, såkalt flutter. Denne masteroppgaven undersøker mulighetene for å øke stabilitetsgrensen til hengebroer ved å installere en passiv massedemper. Massedempere har tidligere vist seg å være meget effektive til å dempe dynamiske svingninger på grunn av vindlaster på både høyhus og broer. Arbeidet er utført som en teoretisk studie hvor det er utviklet en beregningsmetode som deretter er prøvd på to broeksempler, en fiktiv brokonstruksjon fra boka ?Theory of Bridge Dynamics? av Strømmen (2010) og Hardangerbroa, Norges lengste hengebro som åpner i løpet av 2013.Beregningen av kritisk vindhastighet er basert på en modal analyse. Kun de to modene som bidrar til flutter-ustabiliteten er inkludert i beregningen. Dynamisk respons beregnes ved å øke middelvindhastigheten skrittvis helt til responsen øker mot uendelig. Beregningen inkluderer bevegelsesinduserte krefter, vind- og turbulenslaster og massedemperens effekt. Tilslutt er det utført en parameterstudie som inkluderer massedemperens masseforhold og egenfrekvens.En massedemper er egnet til å øke den aerodynamiske stabilitetsgrensen til hengebroer. Resultatene viser at en massedemper øker kritisk vindhastighet betydelig for den fiktive broa. Kritisk vindhastighet øker også for Hardangerbroa, men i mindre grad. Parameterstudien viser at optimal verdi for egenfrekvensen er viktig for effektiv utnyttelse av massedemperen. Det er knyttet usikkerhet til beregninger av responsfrekvenser ved kritisk vindhastighet. Et lite avvik mellom beregnet og virkelig verdi kan redusere effekten av massedemperen betydelig. For at massedemperen skal bli mer robust mot avvik i responsfrekvensen er det foreslått å benytte flere mindre massedempere med ulike egenfrekvenser.

Abstract:
Som en del av fergefri E39 undersøkes det muligheten for en fast forbindelse over Sognefjorden. Et av alternativene er en hengebro med et hovedspenn på 3700 m. Dette spennet vil bli nesten dobbelt så langt som verdens lengste eksisterende hovedspenn. Naturlig nok vil det derfor oppstå helt nye utfordringer innenfor blant annet stabilitet. Denne oppgaven omhandler de aerodynamiske egenskapene til en slik grensesprengende konstruksjon, spesielt med tanke på avstivningsbæreren.Oppgaven begynner med et litteraturstudium. Hengebroers virkemåte blir presentert samt spesielle utfordringer ved lange spenn. Deretter presenteres metoden for utregning av horisontalkraft i hovedkablene. Instabilitets-fenomenene som oppstår for et brotverrsnitt gjennomgås: statisk divergens, dynamisk instabilitet i vertikalretning, dynamisk instabilitet i torsjon og flutter. Virvelavløsning beskrives, samt konstruksjonselementene som brukes for å unngå dette. Innvirkningen av avstivningsbæreren blir utforsket, og tre gunstige utforminger blir presentert. Hovedelementene til konstruksjonen har blitt oppgitt fra Vegdirektoratet. For å verifisere gjennomførbarheten til konstruksjonen blir kapasiteten til hovedkablene regnet ut og sammenlignet med den dimensjonerende kraften i hovedkablene. Deretter blir dataprogrammet Alvsat benyttet for å finne egenfrekvenser og egenmoder. Til slutt regnes stabilitetsgrensen for de ulike avstivningsbærerne ut.Avstivningsbæreren er et splittet kassetverrsnitt som består av to kassetverrsnitt koblet sammen ved hjelp av en tverrstiver. Parameteren som varieres er senteravstanden mellom de to kassene. Denne er enten 15 m, 20 m eller 30 m. Beregninger viser at grensen for dynamisk instabilitet endrer seg for de ulike avstivningsbærerne. For senteravstand 15 m mellom kassene blir flutter dimensjonerende og oppstår ved en vindhastighet på 74 m/s. For senteravstand 20 m mellom kassene vil dynamisk instabilitet i torsjon være dimensjonerende. Dette oppstår ved en vindhastighet på 107 m/s. Flutter vil også oppstå for denne utformingen, men blir ikke dimensjonerende. Noe overraskende oppnås det ingen stabilitetsgrense for avstivningsbæreren med 30 m senteravstand.Selve utførelsen av avstivningsbæreren vil dermed ha stor betydning for broens dynamiske egenskaper og påvirke den dimensjonerende vindhastigheten.Selv om det ikke har blitt utført vindmålinger ved plasseringen av broen over Sognefjorden ble det brukt 58 m/s på Hardangerbrua. Den dimensjonerende vindhastigheten virker derfor tilstrekkelig for de tre utførelsene av avstivningsbæreren. Effekten av en massedemper har ikke blitt undersøkt, men en massedemper vil kunne redusere responsen.

Abstract:
Social identity between interlocutors s is an indispensable factor in the formation of a community (i e. a social unit whose members are held together by an international network and who share certain interests, beliefs, views and attitudes) In this regard, language is known to be an influential symbol of identity, an important clue to social group membership. As Einer Haugen states, language is at once `a social institution, like the laws, the religion, or the economy of a community, and a social instrument which accompanies and makes possible all other institutions. As an institution it may become a symbol of the community` (1956:8 7).

Abstract:
Olen tutkinut pro gradu -työssäni taitoluistelun erikoiskieltä ja slangia ennen kaikkea yksinluistelun osalta. Tavoitteenani oli selvittää, millaista yhteisön sisällä käytetty kieli on. Teoriataustana tutkimuksessani on sosiolingvistiikka. Tutkimusaineisto on kerätty vuonna 2013, ja se koostuu kaikkiaan 975 slangi-ilmauksesta. Tutkimukseen osallistui 247 informanttia, joista yli puolet sijoittuvat maantieteellisesti Uudellemaalle, 55 % on iältään 16–30-vuotiaita ja yli 60 % heistä toimii yhteisön sisällä joko urheilijana tai valmentajana. Tutkimukseni lingvistisessä analyysiosiossa olen luokitellut aineistoni sanastoa Kari Nahkolan luoman sanastolähdejaottelun periaatteita noudattaen. Olen muokannut luokittelumenetelmän omaan aineistooni sopivaksi. Karkeasti kolmannes aineistoni sanoista oli vanhoja sanoja uudessa merkityksessä. Niin ikään kolmannes aineistosta koostui vanhoista sanoista, joita on fonologisesti modifioitu. Loppu kolmannes oli lyhennesanoja ja uusia sanoja, joiden osuudet keskenään olivat lähestulkoon yhtä suuret. Selvästi vahvimmat slanginmuodostuskeinot aineistossani ovat slangijohdokset ja metaforat. Vähiten aineistossani esiintyi vartalonsisäisen muuntelun avulla muodostettuja sanoja. Tutkimukseni on mielenkiintoinen läpileikkaus taitoluisteluyhteisön erikoiskielestä ja slangista. Sen avulla sain selvitettyä, millaista kieltä tutkimuksen kohteena oleva alakulttuuri käyttää. Tulokset noudattelevat paitsi nuorisoslangin myös stadin slangin ominaispiirteitä. Tutkimukseni ei kuitenkaan kerro slangin käytön laajuudesta tai yleisyydestä niin yksittäisen puhujan kuin koko puhujayhteisönkään näkökulmasta, sillä suurin osa — lähes 90 % — aineistoni sanoista on mainittu alle viisi kertaa ja vain reilu prosentti koko aineiston sanoista on mainittu yli sata kertaa.

Full text
Abstract:
Slander and sedition represented pervasive and dangerous forces in the early modern period. Accordingly, they were subject to laws governing language and methods of censorship and repression. Academic interest in Elizabethan slander and sedition has long been divided into studies which focus on the power relations which underpin slanderous literary texts, the ways in which institutions of authority defined and sought to suppress transgressive material, or the role which slander played in the religious invective which blossomed during the late sixteenth century. The present study will compare and contrast the diverse approaches to slanderous activity in relation to the Elizabethan law courts, the theatre and the Church. In so doing, attention will not only be given to language which was idenfitied as slanderous or seditious by the Elizabethan state, but to the diverse methods by which those who engaged in illicit discourses mitigated, resisted and fought accusations of slander. As a result, it will be argued that the malleable principle of the common law, uncertain methods of theatrical and press censorship, the dangers of voicing political dissidence even when couched in the rhetoric of counsel, and increasing attempts at controlling printing presses ultimately led to an appropriation of the term 'libel' as a distinct, political mode of anonymous, often handwritten expression At heart, this study, therefore, provides a comprehensive examination of the legal, theatrical and dramatic conditions which gave rise to the flagrantly slanderous political discourses of the seventeenth century, in which a wealth of renewed scholarly interest has blossomed.

Full text
Abstract:
The Tubed Mega Frame (TMF) is a structural system for high-rise building developed by Tyréns AB. Compared to conventional structural systems, the TMF is a coreless system that transfers the loads through the perimeter of the building instead and in turn enables ability to support new architectural shapes and forms of buildings. This thesis covers an initial study of a high-rise building with an unconventional shape implementing the TMF system, the Cable-stayed Building, which consists of a slanted tower with a cable-supported cantilever. The study of the building was divided in to a geometrical study and a cable study. The geometrical study was carried out to gain an initial understanding of the global structural behavior by altering specific geometrical parameters. The cable efficiency in terms of total vertical forces was investigated in the cable study by comparing different cable arrangements, cable diameters and prestressing forces for a fixed global geometry. The studies were performed under linear and nonlinear static conditions using the finite element software SAP2000 and ETABS. The results from the geometrical study showed that the cable efficiency increases in terms of larger vertical cable forces with a less inclined building and longer cantilever length. In addition, the results showed significant effects of geometric nonlinearities considering P-delta for different geometric cases. Furthermore, a study of the axial forces in the mega columns indicated that the most inclined building in which no uplifting forces and barely any tension occur along the mega columns, is the 7° incline with cantilever length 73.4 m. As abovementioned, the efficiency of the cables was compared for different arrangements, cable diameter and prestressing forces. The results indicated that as the prestressing force increases, the efficiency of cables rises more for smaller cable diameter than for larger. Furthermore, the comparison of fan- and harp-shape cable arrangements showed that the latter, including three pairs of cables, gives the highest cable efficiency relative to the amount of steel required of the cantilever bracing system. Nevertheless, the study indicates that the cable forces are inherently dependent on many parameters, such as the sag effect considered in the modulus of elasticity and the stress inducing temperature, which in turn depends on cable diameter, prestressing force and cable arrangement. To conclude the study, a modal analysis showed that the Cable-stayed Building is classified as a stiff building according to the guidelines from Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. Further research on the structure could be carried out within different areas, as this thesis is only an initial study of the structure. For instance, material nonlinearities, dynamic responses of the building as well as soil structure interaction, should be investigated further.
Tubed Mega Frame (TMF) är ett bärande system för höghus utvecklat av Tyréns AB. TMF är, till skillnad från nuvarande konstruktioner, ett system utan en bärande kärna som överför laster via byggnadens perimeter istället, vilket skapar nya förutsättningar gällande arkitektoniska former på höghus. I detta projektarbete genomförs en förstudie på en byggnad med en ovanlig design, Snedkabel Byggnaden, bestående av ett lutande torn och en konsol som bärs upp av kablar.  Studien är uppdelad i en geometrisk analys och en kabel analys. Den geometriska studien syftar till att få en uppfattning om hur det globala bärande systemet beter sig genom att variera vissa geometriska parametrar. Syftet med kabel studiens är att undersöka kablarnas effektivitet genom att jämföra den totala vertikala kabelkraften med olika kabelsystem, kabeldiametrar och förspänningar för en fastställd geometri av byggnaden. Statiskt linjära och ickelinjära strukturanalyser genomfördes för båda studier i finita element programmen SAP2000 och ETABS. Resultaten från den geometriska studien visade att kabel effektiviteten ökar för en mindre lutad byggnad och en längre konsol, då kabelkrafterna ökar. Dessutom indikerar resultaten anmärkningsvärda effekter vid beaktandet av ickelinjäritet med P-delta för olika globala geometrier. En undersökning av axialkrafter i pelarna visar att den mest lutade byggnaden som inte ger upphov till upplyftande krafter och knappt några dragkrafter längs pelarna är byggnaden med 7° lutning och konsollängd på 73.4 m.   Som tidigare nämnt undersöktes kablarna effektivitet genom att jämföra olika kabelsystem, kabeldiametrar och förspänningar. Resultaten påvisade att med högre förspänningar, desto mer ökar kabeleffektiviteten för mindre kabeldiameter än större. Dessutom visade jämförelsen mellan solfjäder- och harp-systemet att harp-systemet med tre kabelpar ger stört kabeleffektivitet i relation till stålmassan för stagningen i konsolen. Krafterna i kablarna beror i sig till stor del av exempelvis elasticitets modulen med hänsyn till kablarnas nedböjning och den spänningsinducerande temperaturen, som i sin tur beror på kabeldiameter, förspänning och kabelsystem. Avslutningsvis utfördes en modalanalys som visade på att Snedkabel Byggnaden klassificeras som en styv byggnad enligt riktlinjer från Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat. Ytterligare studier på strukturen kan genomföras inom olika områden, då detta är en förstudie på byggnaden. Exempelvis på vidare forskning är att ta hänsyn till materialens ickelinjäriteter, byggnadens dynamiska respons samt samverkan mellan byggnad och grund.

This master thesis of acting of alternative and puppet theatre surveys the professional theatre speech, clarifies the mening of more than 500 terms, especially the slang, idioms and superstitions. List of the jargon focuses on a recent vocabulary of czech theatres taking account of some elder expressions. Author tries to figure out the origin and ethymology of the words took over from foreign languages. The phrases and idioms were not only given by professionals during personal consultations but also comes from a personal author?s experiences and they correspond to a living usage in time of writing of this thesis. The theatre superstitions derive from different sources and are mentioned to muse more then give an exhausting linguistic explanation.

Abstract:
On 4 April, 1957 Egerton Herbert Norman, Canada's Ambassador to Egypt, committed suicide in Cairo. Norman's death was a direct result of sustained American allegations that he was threat to western security. The controversy surrounding his suicide was rekindled in 1986 with the publication of two biographies of Norman. James Barros contends in No Sense of Evil that Norman should have been removed from his high position in Canada's Department of External Affairs because he constituted a security risk. Barros hypothesises about the possibility of a DEA cover-up of Norman's Marxist past (Norman had briefly been a member of the British Communist Party when he was a student at Cambridge) and indeed suggests that Minister of External Affairs, Lester B. Pearson might have been Moscow's ultimate 'mole' who, by defending Norman, was protecting his espionage ring. In Innocence is Not Enough, author Roger Bowen takes issue with such interpretations of Norman's life, scholarship and career. Although Norman had been a Communist, Bowen concludes that no evidence exists to suggest that he was disloyal to Canada. Norman was caught up in a maelstrom of anti-communist hysteria which caused him to be unjustifiably vilified and harassed by the agents of McCarthyism in an era of Cold War paranoia. Instead of choosing a side in the current debate, I have sought to widen it by approaching the story of Norman as a case study in Canadian foreign policy. An examination of Canadian internal security policies in the postwar era, Canada's relationship with the United States and Great Britain, and of Norman himself reveals that the issue at hand is far too complex to be amenable to easy analysis. This thesis was written with the achievement of a more objective analysis as its primary goal.

Abstract:
This thesis tests the models of Class and Roles on Early Modern English society through documents from the High Court of Chivalry. It analyses the role of the Court and the individuals who used the court in defining and negotiating class lines and the Social Order. It analyses how the class lines were perceived within the court and how the Court treated individuals differently dependent upon their Class and title. It shows how the line between commoner and gentleman was actively defined by those who claimed and challenged to be gentlemen. Then, the importance of Performative roles is introduced and how the “role of gentleman” was something that needed to be claimed, performed, and believed in order for people to treat someone like a gentleman. Furthermore, additional roles within a community are introduced that either overlapped or challenged the role of gentleman, complicating and confusing the expectations for social interaction.

Abstract:

The languages of the world are constantly changing and slang intrudes the vocabulary of many people all over the world. But what is slang and where does it come from? Are there differences in the slang that men and women use? And what is the point of using slang? It seems that the slang that was used by previous generations has either gone out of use or has now become a part of accepted standard language; basically, the youth of today reject the slang that their parents used. This would indicate that it is not “cool” to use the same slang as one’s parents did and to avoid this, new slang is invented to replace old slang aiding the youth of today to be able to be shocking or amusing by speaking in a certain way.

In this essay the focus lies on the slang of British English and this is investigated by an analysis of a contemporary film and a TV-show to see how common the use of slang is in these kinds of medias. The intention is also too see if slang differs according to gender and in what different areas slang is used.

The film “Football factory” and the TV-show “Little Britain” were closely watched and all slang was noted down and categorized in terms of users and areas of use. To make this easier and to make sure not to lose any parts of the dialogues scripts were found on the internet and used as aids when analyzing. “Football factory” is a movie about British football hooligans which is a very male-dominated world. “Little Britain” is a TV-show consisting of many small sketches with very different characters of both genders but mostly played by male actors.

The results were somewhat surprising as the expectation was to find some slang in the chosen material but the amount of slang use exceeded the expectations. Slang seems to besomething that people use in many different areas of use, such as, when talking about sex,drugs or other things that might be taboo. It seems that slang is a big part of the language thatboth men and women use. However, in the material used for this study, young men were theones who used slang the most.

CASE STUDY OF NEWS ON AKP Ç
AgLAYAN, Eda M.S. in Media and Cultural Studies Supervisor : Prof. Dr. RaSit KAYA May, 2010, 107 pages This thesis aims to study the attitude of media towards AKP (Adalet ve Kalkinma Partisi - Justice and Development Party) during the 2002 and 2007 general legislative elections in Turkey. Three national newspapers were selected in the scope of analysis: Hü
rriyet, Sabah an Yeni Safak in two months period before 2002 General Elections and 2007 General Elections (September, 1- October, 31 2002, June, 1 &ndash
July, 21 2007). Media are assumed to have a defining role on the formation of opinions due to the fact that the events of the external world to our immediate experiences is continuously interpreted and disseminated through them. Under these considerations, it is frequently claimed that world of politics is one of the most effected institutions. So, during the election periods campaigns are designed and carried out to direct opinions by means of media. Main question of the thesis is whether national daily newspapers were favorable to AKP, both before 2002 general elections when it was elected as first political party and before 2007 general elections when it was the ruling party. AKP news coverage of the selected newspapers in the defined periods were examined through qualitative content analysis. Selected newspapers&rsquo
news slant are revealed by way of reading AKP news critically to determine their dominant tone, gauging how much space they occupied in the newspapers and considering attitudes of the newspapers towards other political parties. Keywords: Media, Liberal Media Theory, News Slant, Qualitative Content Analysis

Full text
Abstract:
The need for tall buildings will increase in the future and new building techniques will emerge to full fill that need. Tyrénshas developed a new structural system called Tube Mega Frame where the major loads are transferred to the ground through big columns located in the perimeter of the building. The new concept has the advantage of eliminating the core inside the heart of the building but furthermore gives countless possibilities and flexibility for a designer. The elimination of the central core, plus the multiformity the Tube Mega Frame, can result new building shapes if combined with new inventions like the Multi elevator Thussenkrupp developed. Multi is a new elevator system with the ability to move in all directions apart from vertically. In this thesis research of the possible combinations between TMF and Multi was conducted. The building shaped resulted is only one of the many possible outcomes which the mix of Multi and TMF can have. The building was constructed in a way so the TMF would be the main structural system, the building would have inclinations so the multi elevator would be the only elevator appropriate for the structure and the height would be significantly large. The pre-study focused on the inclination and its particularities. The inclination played a significant role on how the inner forces were distributed in a structure. Under special circumstances the inclination could be even beneficial although inclination could result in axial forces on the slabs so the horizontal elements should be designed thoroughly not only for bending or shear but also for axial loading. The next phase was experimenting on different simple shaped buildings and combinations of them. The conclusions on the simple buildings formed the idea on how the main building would be. The main building was modeled using four different structural systems and their subcategories with seven models in total. Totally seven systems were compared in load combinations for wind, dead, live, and seismic loads and the global behavior was studied. The model comparison included maximum deformations and modes of vibrations. This way the best structural systems were discovered for the specific building shape and conclusions on inclination into a structure were made. The best structural systems and more reliable in terms of results but also in simplicity of construction were chosen to be designed in ETABS. The 50m belt system, the outside braces system and the diagrid system were designed. The design of the buildings was conducted using the American code ASCE /SEI 7-10. In the design two different mega columns were used to study how a solid or hollow cross section can affect the global behavior. Depending on the structural system the mega column had a major or minor effect on the stiffness of the structure. The design of the cross sections was divided in many groups since the complex geometry had an impact on how and where forces arised in the structure. The outside brace system had the best results in terms of less weight and global stiffness proving that in inclined building and columns with the correct bracing and triangulation of elements could extinguish the negative effects of inclination and even perform better compared to conventional buildings.  The 50-belt system was furthermore studied in buckling since it was one of the best structural systems but with the least bracing, but also the least complex in terms of construction method. The automated buckling through ETABS was conducted and a more conservative approach where the user is defining the buckling length and support factors was used. In addition, a comparison between the user defined factors and global buckling was conducted.
Behovet av höga byggnader kommer att öka i framtiden och ny byggteknik kommer att uppfylla detta behov. Tyréns har utvecklat ett nytt konstruktionssystem som kallas Tube Mega Frame där de stora lasterna överförs till marken genom stora pelare i byggnadens omkrets. Det nya konceptet har fördelen att eliminera kärnan inuti byggnadens hjärta, men ger dessutom otaliga möjligheter och flexibilitet för en konstruktör. Avlägsnandet av den centrala kärnan, plus mångfalden av Tube Mega Frame, kan resultera i nya byggnadsformer i kombination med nya uppfinningar som Multi Lift ThyssenKrupphar utvecklat. Multi är ett nytt hissystem med möjlighet att röra sig i alla riktningar bortsett från vertikalt. I denna uppsats genomfördes forskning om möjliga kombinationer med TMF och Multi. Den formgivna byggnaden är bara ett av de många möjliga resultaten som blandningen av Multi och TMF kan ha. Byggnaden byggdes på ett sätt att TMF skulle vara det huvudsakliga struktursystemet, byggnaden skulle ha lutningar så att Multi skulle vara den enda lösning som är lämplig för konstruktionen och höjden skulle vara betydligt stor. Förstudien fokuserade på lutningen och dess särdrag. Lutningen spelar en viktig roll för hur de inre krafterna fördelas i en struktur. Under speciella förhållanden kan lutningen vara till och med fördelaktig, även om lutning kan resultera i axiella krafter på plattorna så att de horisontella elementen måste utformas noggrant, inte bara för böjning eller skjuvning. Nästa fas var att experimentera på olika enkla lutande bygg former och kombinationer av dem. Slutsatserna från dessa enkla byggnaderna bildade tanken på hur huvudbyggnaden skulle vara. Huvudbyggnaden modellerades med fyra olika strukturella system och deras underkategorier med totalt sju modeller. Hela sju system jämfördes i lastkombinationer med vind last, seismisk last, egenvikt, nyttig last och det globala beteendet studerades. Modellens jämförelse inkluderade maximala deformationer och vibrationer. På detta sätt upptäcktes de bästa strukturella systemen för den specifika byggformen och slutsatser om lutning i en struktur gjordes. De bästa strukturella systemen och mer tillförlitliga vad gäller resultat men också avseende enkel konstruktion valdes att utformas i ETABS. 50 m Bältessystemet, det yttre Bäcksystemet och Diagridsystemet konstruerades. Utformningen av byggnaderna utfördes med användning av den amerikanska normen ASCE / SEI 7–10. I designen användes två olika megapelare för att studera hur en solid eller ihålig tvärsektion kunde påverka det globala beteendet. Beroende på konstruktionssystemet kunde megapelaren ha en större eller mindre effekt på strukturens styvhet. Tvärsnittens konstruktion var uppdelad i många grupper eftersom komplexa geometrin har en inverkan på hur och där krafter uppstår i strukturen. Utvändiga stödsystem hade de bästa resultaten när det gäller mindre vikt och global styvhet, vilket viste att i lutande byggnader och pelare kunde den korrekta förstärkningen och trianguleringen av element skilja de negativa effekterna av lutning och till och med fungera bättre jämfört med konventionella byggnader. 50-bältesystemet studerades vidare förknäckning, eftersom det var ett av de bästa konstruktionssystemen, men med minst fackverk, men också det minst komplexa med avseende på konstruktionsmetod. Den automatiska knäckning analysgenom ETABS genomfördes och ett mer konservativt tillvägagångssätt där användaren definierar knäcklängden och stödfaktorerna. Dessutom genomfördes en jämförelse mellan de användardefinierade faktorerna och global knäckning.

Social identity between interlocutors s is an indispensable factor in the formation of a community (i e. a social unit whose members are held together by an international network and who share certain interests, beliefs, views and attitudes) In this regard, language is known to be an influential symbol of identity, an important clue to social group membership. As Einer Haugen states, language is at once `a social institution, like the laws, the religion, or the economy of a community, and a social instrument which accompanies and makes possible all other institutions. As an institution it may become a symbol of the community` (1956:8 7).

This study investigated the extent to which Saudi students were interested in American academic slang terms and expressions. The goal of this study was to examine their knowledge and perceptions of academic slang as L2 learners living in the US. In this study, both qualitative and quantitative methodologies were employed. The data were retrieved via an online survey. A written questionnaire was completed by 50 undergraduate SIUC students from Saudi Arabia. The vocabulary task results showed that Saudi L2 learners do not have sufficient knowledge of American academic slang. Saudi students, especially females, revealed a positive attitude towards learning American academic slang in order to communicate successfully in American universities. This research highlights the importance of presenting international students with academic slang as an important register frequently used in academic life.

From introduction: The study begins with a detailed examination of the origins of the defence in Roman law, and traces the dispute over the role of the veritas convicii through the writings of the Roman-Dutch jurists and the decisions of the pre-Union colonial courts in South Africa. The gradual absorption of the requirement of public benefit into the contemporary law is examined. Subsequent sections attempt to extract from the case law and to systematise the rules relating to the requirements of the defence of truth and public benefit, with a view to setting forth the circumstances in which the truth may lawfully be published. Section 2 deals with problems relating to proof of the truth of the imputation; Section 3 with the problem of when publication can be said to serve the public benefit. The final section seeks to examine the juridical basis of the defence and to relate it to recent developments in the law of defamation as a whole. Brief conclusions are then drawn and recommendations made.

Součástí práce je slovník čítající 535 hesel. Do přílohové části jsou zahrnuty excerpované články a kopie dotazníků obou generací. Powered by TCPDF (www.tcpdf.org)
