Based on the intention to understand how regional journalism is configured in its printed and online interface regarding news quality and the public interest, this research establishes a semiodiscursive analysis of the newspaper O Popular, considering its physical and digital versions. The study starts from the perspective that journalism is related to ideas of truth, public interest and citizenship and is justified by the limited bibliography on regional journalism and an urgent need to understand the practices adopted by the newspapers at the transitory moment in which it lives. A moment that Charron and Bonville (2016) consider a paradigmatic transition from information journalism to communication one. After the popularization of the Internet, there is a definition lack of journalism place. In addition, there is no knowledge about how to finance journalistic practices. It is believed, according to Charaudeau (2015), that the media maintains a space of citizenship essential for democracy. Thus, it is investigated how this commitment to offer quality information remains active in the face of the challenges with which newspapers live in the network society. To do so, the research was developed between 2016 and 2018, with three specific periods of data collection: August 21 to 24, October 25 to 31 and November 6 to 12, all in 2017. In the analysis, it is possible to perceive that the practices adopted for the printed version of the journal have more traditional characteristics and are directly related to the legitimating discourse of journalism, while the practices adopted for the online version show less commitment with ideas of public interest and citizenship, presenting subjects in a hurried and incomplete way, which reduces the reliability and credibility of the media, as well as diminishing the true effect of the journalism practiced. We can see the distance between the two points of the interface analyzed, with the predisposition of the digital newspaper to "sensationalism" and the nonthematic focus on the "exercise of power" in the printed version. It attends to the public interest in subjects, but not in deepening and contextualization, which occurs to the detriment of the quality of the newspaper and impedes the access of the reader to information that helps in the process of construction of reality and in the capacity to self-govern socially and politically.
A partir da intenção de compreender como se configura o jornalismo regional em sua interface impresso e on-line no que concerne à qualidade das notícias e ao interesse público, esta pesquisa estabelece uma análise semiodiscursiva do jornal goiano O Popular, considerando suas versões física e digital. O estudo parte da perspectiva de que o jornalismo se relaciona com ideias de verdade, interesse público e cidadania e se justifica pela limitada bibliografia existente sobre o jornalismo regional e necessidade urgente de compreender as práticas adotadas pelos jornais no momento transitório em que vivem. Um momento que Charron e Bonville (2016) consideram ser de transição paradigmática, do jornalismo de informação para o de comunicação. Com a popularização da internet, há uma indefinição de qual o lugar reservado à prática jornalística e sobre como financiar esse serviço. Acredita-se, conforme Charaudeau (2015), que as mídias mantêm um espaço de cidadania imprescindível para a democracia. Assim, investiga-se o quanto esse compromisso de oferecer informação de qualidade segue atuante frente aos desafios com os quais os jornais convivem na sociedade em rede. Para tanto, o desenvolvimento da pesquisa foi elaborado entre 2016 e 2018, com três períodos específicos de coleta de dados: 21 a 24 de agosto, 25 a 31 de outubro e 6 a 12 de novembro, todos em 2017. Na análise, torna-se possível perceber que as práticas adotadas para a versão impressa do jornal têm características mais tradicionais e diretamente relacionadas ao discurso legitimador do jornalismo, enquanto as práticas adotadas para a versão on-line demonstram menor comprometimento com as ideias de interesse público e cidadania, apresentando matérias de forma apressada e incompleta, o que reduz a confiabilidade e a credibilidade do veículo, assim como diminui o efeito de verdade do jornalismo praticado. Constata-se o distanciamento dos dois pontos da interface analisada, com a predisposição do jornal digital ao “sensacionalismo” e o enfoque não-temático no “exercício do poder” na versão impressa. Atende-se ao interesse público em assuntos, mas não em aprofundamento e contextualização, o que ocorre em detrimento da qualidade do jornal e prejudica o acesso do público-leitor à informação que o auxilie no processo de construção da realidade e na capacidade de se autogovernar social e politicamente.

A dissertação investiga a trajetória do Jornal Local, periódico impresso semanal de Valença, no sul fluminense, com o objetivo de analisar de que forma este periódico narra a cidade, e, assim, que tipo de identidade do espaço urbano o jornal ajuda a construir. Para tanto, utilizamse autores dos Estudos Culturais como principal referência para o desenvolvimento da questão identitária na contemporaneidade. Além disso, levantou-se na bibliografia cânone local ideiasforça definidoras da identidade valenciana tradicional, com o intuito de verificar se é esta a identidade valenciana emergente nas narrativas do Jornal Local. Foram pesquisadas 12 edições do impresso em foco, abrangendo as edições de 18 de julho de 2013 a 03 de outubro de 2013, através da metodologia da Análise de Conteúdo. O objetivo do trabalho, mais do que levantar o espaço que o JL dedica a problematização do tema identidade valenciana, foi examinar como e com que intensidade o impresso trata o assunto. A pesquisa ainda caracterizou-se por um forte viés historiográfico, ao expor, além da história da cidade, a trajetória histórica da imprensa valenciana.
This dissertation investigates the history of Jornal Local, a weekly printed newspaper of Valença, in southern Rio de Janeiro, with the goal of analyzing how this newspaper chronicles the city, and thus what kind of urban space identity the newspaper helps build. For this, we used authors of Cultural Studies as the main reference for the development of the identity issue in contemporary times. In addition, we researched local canonical bibliography for key defining ideas of traditional valencian identity, in order to verify if this is the emerging valencian identity narratives in the Jornal Local. Twelve editions of the newspaper were analyzed, covering the issues of July 18, 2013 to October 3, 2013, using Content Analysis methodology. The goal, more than merely exposing the space dedicated by JL to questioning the valencian identity theme, was to examine how and with how much intensity the newspaper treats the subject. The research was also characterized by a strong historiographical focus, to expose, beyond the city’s history, the historical trajectory of the Valencian press.

Previous issue date: 2009-04-17This dissertation aims to analyze the adoption of civic journalism, called citizen journalism in this study, as a way to practice the regional journalism on weekly periodicals on small towns in the interior of São Paulo. Will be study this new type of journalism - which is characterized by the existence and maintenance of a social link between the communication vehicle and the readers, thematicing the problems of a community to its residents being able to resolve them - to investigate if (and in wich ways) this new formula contribute to the increase of the capacity of society to deal with collective problems and in which measure this editorial line of the periodical can be considered a communicacional strategy with the publical readers and advertisers. The justification for this work is in the need to seek other alternatives to hegemonic journalism. At the same time, find another ways for marketing outlets for small periodical businesses that is suffering competition, including the internet. This is a case study of the Journal of Jales weekly printed that circulated on sundays in Jales city, in northwestern of São Paulo State - from three actions mediated by it: the creation of the House of Culture, a collection of 96 issues of the MEMORY Project and a series of 12 editorials entitled Wake-up, Jales! which tried to awake the readers for a need to create a spirit of colletive citizenship able to help in solving local problems. Those materials were published between October 1971, date of foundation of the newspaper, and December 2006, beginning of this research. Using conceptual keys built in works of Algirdas Julien Greimas, Cicília Maria Krohling Peruzzo, Ciro Marcondes Filho, Clóvis Rossi, José Marques de Melo and Sylvia Moretzsohn, among other researchers, it was possible to examine the actions of the Journal of Jales. The journal stablished a fiducia contract with the readers, which resulted in a pact of social responsibility, concept studied from authors such as Alzira Alves de Abreu, Antonio Hohlfeldt, Carlos Álvarez Teijeiro, Carlos Castilho, Jan Schaffer, Luiz Martins da Silva, Márcio Ronaldo Santos Fernandes, Marialva Barbosa, Murilo César Soares and Nelson Traquina, among others. The objective of this work is to analyze that set theory of actions mediated by the Journal of Jales, which feature a local society for a duty to do- to solve their problems. Will be examine how the enunciator shows such actions in specific communication contracts and will be realize a critical thematic frameworks. The fundamental thesis advocated in this research, from the case study, the Journal of Jales, is that with the citizen journalism is possible to improve the editorial line of these communication vehicles and establish new communication strategies along with the public
Esta dissertação tem por objetivo analisar a adoção do civic journalism, denominado jornalismo cidadão neste estudo, como forma de se praticar o jornalismo regional em periódicos semanais de pequenas cidades do interior de São Paulo. Estudaremos este novo modelo de jornalismo - que se caracteriza pela existência e manutenção de um vínculo social entre o veículo de comunicação e os leitores, tematizando os problemas de uma comunidade para que seus moradores sejam capazes de resolvê-los - para investigar se (e de que modos) esta nova fórmula contribui para o aumento da capacidade da sociedade de lidar com os problemas coletivos, e em que medida esta linha editorial do periódico pode ser considerada uma estratégia comunicacional junto aos públicos leitor e anunciante. A justificativa para este trabalho encontra-se na necessidade de se buscar outras alternativas ao jornalismo hegemônico. Ao mesmo tempo, busca encontrar saídas mercadológicas para pequenas empresas de comunicação que sofrem com a concorrência inclusive da internet. Este é um estudo de caso do Jornal de Jales - impresso semanal que circula aos domingos na cidade de Jales, no noroeste paulista - a partir de três ações mediadas por ele: a criação da Casa de Cultura, a coleção de 96 fascículos do Projeto MEMÓRIA e uma série de 12 editoriais intitulados Acorda, Jales!, que procurou despertar os leitores para a necessidade de criação de um espírito da cidadania coletivo capaz de ajudar na resolução dos problemas locais. Todas estas matérias foram publicadas entre outubro de 1971, data de fundação do jornal, a dezembro de 2006, início desta pesquisa. Utilizando chaves conceituais construídas em obras de Algirdas Julien Greimas, Cicília Maria Krohling Peruzzo, Ciro Marcondes Filho, Clóvis Rossi, José Marques de Melo e Sylvia Moretzsohn, entre outros pesquisadores, foi possível examinar as ações do Jornal de Jales . O destinador estabeleceu um contrato de fidúcia com os destinatários que resultou em um pacto de responsabilidade social, conceito estudado a partir de autores como Alzira Alves de Abreu, Antônio Hohlfeldt, Carlos Álvarez Teijeiro, Carlos Castilho, Jan Schaffer, Luiz Martins da Silva, Márcio Ronaldo Santos Fernandes, Marialva Barbosa, Murilo César Soares e Nelson Traquina, entre outros. O objetivo do trabalho é analisar tal conjunto de ações mediadas pelo Jornal de Jales que se propunham a modalizar a sociedade local para um dever fazer-resolver seus problemas. Examinaremos como o enunciador apresenta tais ações em contratos comunicacionais específicos e realizaremos a crítica dos enquadramentos temáticos. A tese fundamental defendida nessa pesquisa, a partir do estudo de caso do Jornal de Jales, é que com o jornalismo cidadão é possível melhorar a linha editorial desses veículos de comunicação e estabelecer novas estratégias comunicacionais junto ao público

Previous issue date: 2006-06-14Knowledge is more and more being considered as a main organizational strategic active, mostly in knowledge intensive organizations, as is the case in the Journalism sector; hence slowly we observe an increasing interest for research on knowledge management on this area, particularly regarding ways to improve products and services and helping these kind of organizations to become more competitive. This means creating organizational standards for knowledge processing, as well as developing strategical vision and planning for this purpose. In the Journalism area we observe simultaneously a globalizing trend, pressed by advances on communication technology, as well as a strengthening of local journalism. All this may be considered as part of the Glolocal movement on this Digital Era of Communication, where we deal with real time news at a planetary scale. Under these conditions our research is a case study, based on four interviews on local journals located on the State of São Paulo , looks at the knowledge management processes been used by these kind of organizations related to the four stages of knowledge acquisition, maintenance , stocking and dissemination; as well as problems related to promoting these processes
O conhecimento vem sendo considerado como um dos principais ativos estratégicos das organizações, principalmente naquelas intensivas neste recurso. A atividade jornalística é considerada intensiva em conhecimento, por isso tanto pesquisadores quanto gestores começaram a voltar suas atenções para a gestão deste ativo em empresas com estas características, como meio de melhorar o processo de desenvolvimento de produtos e serviços e de interferir na posição competitiva da empresa. Isto envolve tanto a institucionalização de processos de conhecimento, quanto o estabelecimento de estratégia para sua gestão. Na área jornalística observamos simultaneamente uma tendência mundializadora, impulsionada pelos avanços na área de comunicação e internet; bem como o fortalecimento do jornalismo local, que podemos considerar como manifestações do movimento do glolocal nesta Era Digital da Comunicação na qual se trabalha com notícias em tempo real e em escala planetária. Diante desta realidade, este estudo a partir da realização de quatro entrevistas em empresas jornalísticas regionais do estado de São Paulo - tem a preocupação de identificar os processos de gestão do conhecimento, que envolvem os procedimentos de aquisição, manutenção, armazenamento e disseminação de conhecimentos, utilizados por essas empresas e os fatores que inibem a gestão do conhecimento nestas organizações, munindo-se de dados obtidos em entrevistas de quatro empresas jornalísticas regionais de São Paulo

Texte intégralRésumé :
Thesis (MPhil)--Stellenbosch University, 2001.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The print media, especially newspapers, play an important role in providing information in any society. In the rural communities of South Africa, information available to the people is scanty. Growth of a newspaper is necessary if a newspaper is to fulfil its duties. The Zoutpansberger and Mirror are two of the few local newspapers that circulate in the Far North Region of the Northern Province. The Zoutpansberger, which started in 1985, has experienced negative growth in the various departments of the newspaper, while the Mirror, which started in September 1990, has experienced slow growth. Several factors have been responsible for this. Therefore, there was a need to examine and compare the factors that have affected the growth/development of the newspapers over ten years. The aims and objectives of the study are to examine and compare the factors that affect the growth and development of the Zoutpansberger and Mirror, give suggestions to facilitate future growth and the best ways of utilising the available resources. A literature survey was carried out to get the perspectives of other researchers. Data was collected after conducting personal interviews, using the interview schedule. It was analysed and interpreted with the use of graphs and charts. The findings reveal that economic, social, cultural and geographical factors affect the growth of the newspaper. A few recommendations have been given to highlight ways in which the paper can make full use of the available resources.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die drukmedia, in die besonder koerante, speel 'n belangrike rol in die oordrag van inligting in enige samelewing. In die plattelandse gemeenskappe van Suid-Afrika is die beskikbare inligting karig. Vir 'n koerant om sy pligte na te kom, is dit nodig dat die koerant groei. Die Zoutpansberger en Mirror is twee van die plaaslike koerante in die Verre Noorde-streek van die Noordelike Provinsie. Die Zoutpansberger, gestig in 1985, het negatiewe groei In verskeie afdelings ondervind, terwyl die Mirror, gestig in September 1990, stadige groei ondervind het. Verskeie faktore is hiervoor verantwoordelik. Daar was daarom 'n behoefte om die faktore te ondersoek wat die groei van die koerante oor 'n tydperk van tien jaar beïnvloed het. Die doel van die studie is om die faktore wat die groei en ontwikkeling van die Zoutpansberger en die Mirror geraak het, te ondersoek en te vergelyk en om voorstelle te gee wat toekomstige groei en optimale benutting van beskikbare bronne kan bewerkstellig. 'n Literatuurstudie is gedoen om die perspektiewe van ander navorsers te betrek. Data is ingesamel nadat persoonlike onderhoude gedoen is met behulp van die onderhoudskedule. Dit is geanaliseer en geïnterpreteer met behulp van grafika en kaarte. Die bevindinge bring aan die lig dat ekonomiese, maatskaplike, kulturele en geografiese faktore die groei van die koerant beïnvloed. Enkele voorstelle is gemaak om moontlike maniere te belig waarop die koerant die beskikbare bronne ten volle kan benut.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Uppsatsens syfte är att se vilka urval, lokala och regionala nyhetsprogram gör innehållsmässigt och geografiskt. De analysenheter vi valt är TV4Nyheterna Jönköping och SVT Smålandsnytt. Vi jämförde även de två programmens inslag beträffande typ och längd.
Vi studerade under tre veckors tid nyhetssammanfattningen 21.55 från TV4Nyheterna Jönköping och nyhetssammanfattningen 22.15 från SVT SmålandsNytt. Anledningen till att vi valde nyhetssammanfattningar var för att vi vill se vad som kanalerna ansåg vara de viktigaste händelserna under dagen, det som var värt att sammanfatta.
Den valda metoden är kvantitativ innehållsanalys. Valet gjordes för att vi ville undersöka statistiskt mätbara variabler, som tid, olika ämnen i inslagen och antal inslag per kommun. Detta är statistisk data och lämpar sig bäst då att räkna kvantitativt. Analysen har gjorts med hjälp av en kodbok och kodblanketter.
Resultaten visade att i TV4Nyheterna Jönköping fanns det en stark centralisering till sändningsorten, Jönköping. I SmålandsNytt däremot fanns inte lika stark koncentration till Växjö, som är SmålandNytts sändningsort, utan även här dominerade Jönköping. Detta anser vi beror på det uppmärksammade studentmordet som rapporterats mycket om i programmen. De inslagslängder som var vanligast i båda nyhetsprogrammen var 16-30 sekunder. Det ämne som uppmärksammandes mest var brott/olyckor. Våra resultat visade inte på några stora skillnader mellan nyhetsprogrammen.
Our aim with the essay is to see how local and regional two news programmes are and which news they prioritize. The chosen programmes are TV4Nyheterna Jönköping and SVT Smålandsnytt. We will look into the differences between those two, when it comes to the type of elements, but also the difference in how long the elements are (in terms of time).
The material we chose where the news summary 09.55 pm from TV4Nyheterna Jönköping and the news summary 10.15 pm from SVT SmålandsNytt, for three weeks. The reason why we chose news summaries is because we want to see what the channels consider are the most important events during the day, witch news where worth summarize.
The selected method is quantitative content analysis. We chose that because we wanted to examine statistically measurable variables, as time, different matters in the elements and numbers elements by the municipality. Since it is statistical fact it suits best to count quantitatively. The analysis has been done with the aid of a code book and code forms.
The results showed that TV4Nyheterna Jönköping had centralization to consignments place, Jönköping. But when it comes to SmålandsNytt, they did not have any centralization to the consignments place, instead Jönköping dominated here also. We consider that this can to do the with murder of a student that has been reported a lot about in the programmes. When it came to the time length of the elements that dominated in both of the news programmes where 16-30 seconds and the most common matters where criminal/accidents. According to Hadenius and Weibull are criminal/accidents one of the most primary readings at the newspaper readers. Our results did not show on some big differences in our two news programmes, SmålandsNytt and TV4Nyheterna Jönköping.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study focused on how local politicians in Kalmar perceive journalists and their intertwined relationship. We based our study on the theoretical understanding of today’s media-centric democratic society. The ‘adversary model’ offered an understanding of the intricate relations between politicians and journalists. The relationship builds on constant trade where both parties are dependent on each other. Politicians exchange information to gain attention in the media. Journalists needs politicians as important sources of information and have the power to control the exposure that politicians get in the public eye. This study was researched and conducted through qualitative interviews with local politicians.
We found that experienced politicians have developed an understanding for journalistic work and that it is important to have a good relationship to reach out to their constituency. This professional relationship has to be kept at arm’s length as it otherwise risks to become too muddled. We learned that politicians are well aware of the need to adapt to media conditions – there were, however, examples of breakdowns in this precarious relationship.
The politicians in our study delivered several examples of how media adaptation is managed, e g how press conferences are scheduled according to media deadlines and are held at suitable locations so that photographers can get good pictures. Trust appeared to be the crucial condition for a rewarding relationship. Every politician in our study agreed that it is all a question of trust.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Esta tese de doutorado, que se insere no âmbito das pesquisas de comunicação e política, tem como objeto a imprensa regional ou local, a partir de uma questão crucial: teriam os jornais locais deixado de exercer o papel de controle e fiscalização do poder e, portanto, deixado de cumprir a missão de bem informar os cidadãos, acomodando-se a seguir a pauta e o enfoque dos veículos aos quais tomam de empréstimo o noticiário? Por meio de uma investigação da história do jornalismo local, conjugada com estudos empíricos acerca do discurso midiático, o presente trabalho conclui, baseado em estudos de caso e análises quantitativas e qualitativas de uma amostragem significativa de jornais locais e regionais, que a resposta a essa pergunta é \"sim\". O Brasil não conta uma imprensa local forte, o que acarreta implicações negativas para a democracia. O corpus da pesquisa foi recortado de seis veículos locais ou regionais: Comércio do Jahu-SP, Correio do Povo-RS, Diário do Rio Doce-MG, Folha do Estado da Bahia-BA, Jornal do Povo-MS e O Liberal-PA. Foram estudadas edições de cada um desses títulos, publicadas durante as crises políticas de 2015 a 2017. Além disso, profissionais responsáveis por esses conteúdos e representantes de associações de diários dos interiores e agências de notícias foram longamente entrevistados. Os resultados evidenciam o uso excessivo de notícias de segunda mão, isto é, não produzidas por equipes próprias. A análise do discurso aqui empreendida demonstrou que, no caso do impeachment de Dilma Rousseff, os seis jornais reproduziram, com ângulos praticamente idênticos e sem contextualização municipal ou regional, o discurso de Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo e O Estado de S. Paulo. Já sob o governo de Michel Temer, esses jornais procuraram se afastar da narrativa das três grandes publicações, denotando estar a serviço de interesses políticos de suas regiões.This thesis, which belongs to the field of communication and political research, has as its subject regional or local press. Its crucial question is: would the local newspapers have abandoned their roles as watchdogs and, therefore, failed to properly inform their readers as the free press should do? Have they conformed themselves to the agenda and approach of the national newspapers from which they get the news? We started with a historical investigation of the local journalism, and we continue with empirical studies on media discourse, to conclude, based on case studies and content analysis of a significant sampling of local and regional newspapers, that the response to this question is \"yes\". Brazil does not have a strong local or regional press, which brings negative consequences for our democracy. The corpus of the research focuses on six local or regional vehicles: Comércio do Jahu-SP, Correio do Povo-RS, Diário do Rio Doce-MG, Folha do Estado da Bahia-BA, Jornal do Povo-MS and O Liberal-PA. We studied editions of each of these publications during the Brazilian political crisis of 2015 to 2017. In addition, journalists responsible for these contents and members of newspaper associations and news agencies were interviewed. The complete results show the excessive use of second-hand news, which is not produced by their own teams. The content analysis here showed that, in the case of Dilma Rousseff\'s impeachment, the six newspapers reproduced, with almost identical angles and without local contextualization, the discourse of Folha de S.Paulo, O Globo or O Estado de S. Paulo, the three major national newspapers in Brazil. But under Michel Temer government, these six newspapers sought to distance themselves from the narrative of the three major national titles, giving evidence of serving the political interests of their regions.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In the closing decade of the twentieth century Joümalism was perceived to be in crisis, as profit-driven, corporatized media conglomerates seemed to enforce market driven editorial approaches. What debate there was about such matters in the UK tended to focus on the national news media, particularly that section of the press colloquially known as `Fleet Street'. Yet the impact of these tendencies was also apparently evident among local newspapers, which Tunstall (1996) said had suffered `meltdown'. These titles supposedly contained less news and more newszak (Franklin 1997). One of the most notable consequences of this trend , was an apparent decline in the amount of political information published. Yet at the end of the 1990s more politics was introduced into the UK with the establishment of devolved governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Drawing on descriptions and analyses of the local press in the USA, Canada, Australia and elsewhere, as well as other parts of the UK, this study explores the contemporary making of local news by taking a snapshot of the local press in south-east Wales at the beginning of the twenty-first century, and against the backdrop of the introduction of the National Assembly for Wales. Interviews with a group of local newspaper editors and with a number of journalism educators; documentary and data analysis; post factor participant observation and a short non-participant observation, and thematic textual analysis of a time-based sample of fourteen English-language weekly, two evening, one morning and one Sunday newspapers were undertaken. Specific attention was paid to the reporting of politics. The persistent idea of proximity - the role of constructs of territorial and cognitive place - in journalism was taken as a starting point to utilize the work of Aldridge (2003), Griffin (2002), Hartley (1998), Law (2001), Rossow and Dunwoody (1991) and Temple (2004) to suggest forms of journalism which were banal, precise, enabling and affiliated. These indicated that what was called `news' was routinely scoped, mobilizing identity, utility and association, around what was believed to constitute territorial and cognitive belonging. Moreover, senses of belonging were often complementary rather than conflicting. These ideas challenge the orthodoxy that news is primarily scaled (from `small' to `big') and that journalism is essentially competitive. While it was found that these conditions were not exclusive to the local press, the ways in which they were configured were specific. The key aspect was the preparedness of journalists to concede their `professional' claims to news-making to contributing members of the public. That this occurred far more readily in the local press led to the conclusion that local journalism was not merely a minor variant of journalism practised elsewhere, but a distinct emergent form more ambivalently related to press commercialism. Furthermore, it is suggested that formal press structures and the accepted hierarchies of journalism no longer express as precisely as they were once assumed to such distinctions in contemporary editorial approaches.

Esta pesquisa busca contribuir para a geração de desenvolvimento local/regional focado na agroindústria familiar. Há, em Santa Catarina, alguns planos de desenvolvimento direcionados a este segmento, valorizando o "saber fazer" dos agricultores, estimulando parcerias e associações, e incentivando a construção de uma agroindustrialização em rede. O trabalho, através de uma abordagem qualitativa e de procedimento técnico - estudo de multicasos, analisa e identifica, em 4 regiões distintas no estado de Santa Catarina, o processo pelo qual está ocorrendo o desenvolvimento local/regional focado na agroindústria familiar: o projeto SAGA, localizado na região Oeste; a AGRECO, situada no Sul do estado; o PROVE, na região do Vale do Itajaí; e o projeto BNAF, concentrado no Planalto Norte Catarinense. Com relação aos benefícios e contribuições desta pesquisa, o trabalho pretende documentar academicamente, com uma visão científica e não tendenciosa, experiências de agregação de valor através do negócio de agroindústrias de pequeno porte e mostrar que a teoria da competitividade sistêmica pode ser utilizada para analisar a competitividade de pequenos arranjos empresariais desta natureza. Os resultados encontrados demonstram que regiões rurais dinâmicas caracterizam-se por uma densa rede de relações entre serviços e organizações públicas, iniciativas empresariais urbanas e rurais, agrícolas e não agrícolas, e que projetos dessa natureza terão maiores condições de gerarem desenvolvimento local/regional caso estejam inseridos em um sistema produtivo local estruturado.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The Portland metropolitan region has seen unprecedented growth in the last three decades, resulting in both economic expansion and considerable gentrification. While lauded for its commitment to sustainability and a "smart development" ethos, many questions remain for the city with respect to the needs of displaced residents and a burgeoning population of young professionals. This study examines how various levels of government implement growth management policies to accommodate these demographic changes, and aims to assess whether and how the consequences of growth, especially gentrification and displacement, are meaningfully addressed. Qualitative interviews were conducted with staff members and elected officials from city, county, and regional government structures across the Portland metropolitan area to investigate the "regional housing crisis." Inductive analysis of these data considers the implications of Portland's layered government structure for making equitable growth-related decisions.
Participants expressed a mismatch in what was expected of them--both from higher levels of government and their constituents--and their perceived capacity to do so. While government officials advocate the need for new development of affordable housing units, they see themselves as limited by a series of technical barriers in the stratified planning process, as well as an unequal distribution of influential power in public involvement processes. Findings are synthesized to offer policy recommendations and consider alternative government responses to public housing issues.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study of the production of British broadcast journalism, rather than its finished products, reveals the ways in which the organising and financing of journalism have traceable consequences on the ways in which news is selected and constructed, supporting the critical political economy perspective. Using a comparative ethnographic approach including interviews and observation of professional practice in three local television newsrooms, studios and other production spaces, this study represents a rare opportunity to gain insights into the ways in which events, issues and sources are selected by journalists, editors, producers and others engaged in the production of British broadcast news and how material is shaped into news bulletins and other programming. Drawing on news value theory (Galtung and Ruge 1965; Golding and Elliott 1979; Harcup and O’Neil 2001, 2016), the study offers a new model of news value analysis, the ‘News Value Matrix’, which takes account of the interplay between two key categories of news values, organisational pragmatics and perceptions of audience appeal. The study will be of interest to local broadcast journalists, editors and producers, to policymakers concerned with media and cultural policy, and to those wishing to develop a greater critical understanding of the professional practice of journalism.

xiii, 229 p. : ill. A print copy of this title is available from the UO Libraries, under the call number: KNIGHT PN4888.R33 S26 2008This study looks at the status of local radio news in the United States in light of changes in policy, economics, production and distribution technology and the dynamic media environment. It examines how differences in ownership relate to the amount of news programming offered on local stations, how those stations are staffed and the working conditions for today's radio journalists. Two areas of communication theory provide the basis for the study, Political Economy of Communication and Localism. Both offer excellent perspectives for studying the radio broadcasting industry and the people who work in it. Political economy allows the study to look closely at the impact of ownership in our capitalist society, how government regulates ownership and programming, how those factors affect the working conditions for journalists and how they ultimately impact the public interest. Political economy is a holistic approach that also calls upon us to consider a moral philosophy and make recommendations for the good of society. Localism is a long-held policy objective of the Federal Communications Commission that has been a part of the regulatory process relating to ownership and programming of news and public affairs throughout the existence of radio in the United States. Using a triangulation of both quantitative and qualitative methods, the study documents the news operations of four different types of ownership structures within a single radio market, Salt Lake City, Utah. The primary quantitative method used content analysis to examine a sample of 255 hours of radio programming across the ownership groups. Qualitative methods of in-depth interviews and observation were used to examine how the stations were staffed, the working conditions for local journalists and how the news programming is produced. The study found the overall amount of local radio news programming to be low, with locally owned stations generally producing more news then those with large, outside corporate ownership. It also found working conditions to vary greatly among ownership groups. Local owners tended to be much more supportive of local journalists and provide better conditions for the production and programming of local radio news.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In this thesis, I examine the variation in plant species richness along gradients of productivity and disturbance in grasslands and forest habitats in southern Sweden, and I compare the documented patterns with theoretical predictions. Moreover, I evaluate the relative importance of habitat quality and habitat configuration for the occurrence of field layer species in deciduous forests. Finally, I present a new method for the determination of the regional species pool. To examine regional and local variation in plant species richness, I gathered data on species composition in plots of different size (0.001 - 1000 m2) in three vegetation types (deciduous forests, dry grasslands and coastal meadows) in four regions of southern Sweden (Öland, Gotland, Småland and Uppland). As predicted by the species pool hypothesis, differences in small-scale species richness of deciduous forests and dry grasslands were correlated with differences in the size of the regional species pool. Moreover, among plots large-scale diversity was predictive of small-scale diversity. Species diversity showed a hump-shaped relationship with productivity in forests, and was related to environmental heterogeneity and the size of the 'habitat-specific' species pool. In the two types of grassland examined, grazed sites were richer in species than abandoned sites. Moreover, both species composition and the representation of plants with different life-history characteristics differed between grazed and abandoned sites. As predicted by the intermediate disturbance hypothesis, species richness was highest at intermediate levels of grazing in coastal meadows. However, all the above patterns were scale-dependent, and not observed at all plot sizes. The occurrence of field layer species in deciduous forests was more strongly related to habitat quality (mainly soil factors) than to habitat configuration (forest area and isolation). Across species, low seed production, clonal reproduction and habitat specificity were negatively associated with isolation.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis consists of five papers, which concern expenditure decisions and economic growth within Swedish local government.Paper [1] explores the hypothesis that local fiscal shocks have short run effects on revenue and expenditure decisions made within local government. It is found that although fiscal shocks do not affect local authorities' revenue decisions, they do induce municipalities to change expenditures and financial costs along with short term loans. Local authorities are also found to respond more powerful to unfavorable fiscal shocks (deficit shocks) than to favorable fiscal shocks (surplus shocks).In Paper [2], we study the hypothesis that local (municipal) expenditures, in part, can be explained by regional (county) expenditures. We formulate and estimate a demand model for municipal services that is defined conditional on the county expenditures. The results imply a positive dependency between the provision of county and municipal services. Moreover, the results suggest that the hypothesis of weak separability between the provision of county and municipal services can be rejected. In addition, we cannot reject the hypothesis that the regional expenditures are weakly exogenous in the local expenditure equation.In Paper [3] the existence of spillover between Swedish municipalities in the provision of recreational and cultural services is analyzed. A representative .voter model is derived and the demand for recreational and cultural services is estimated using spatial SUR techniques. The results suggest a negative relationship between recreational and cultural expenditures provided by neighboring municipalities, which indicates that these services are substitutes.Paper [4] concerns the regional growth pattern in Sweden by analyzing what factors might determine the growth rate of regional average income levels and the net migration rates. Our results suggest a negative dependence between the initial average income level and the subsequent income growth, which supports the conditional convergence hypothesis. Among other things, we also find that the initial endowments of human capital have a positive effect on subsequent net migration while the initial unemployment rate is found to have a negative impact on net migration.Paper [5] complements the analysis made in Paper [4] by studying which factors determine average income growth and net migration at the local level of government. The conditional convergence hypothesis cannot be rejected. Local government investments are found to have a positive effect on the subsequent net migration while leaving the growth in mean income unaffected. This may indicate that the net migration caused by these investments does not significantly affect the proportion of skilled and unskilled labor.Härtill 5 delarbeten.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Mestrado em Engenharia do AmbienteA estação de qualidade do ar de Lamas de Olo tem vindo a registar, desde a sua entrada em funcionamento em 2004, elevados níveis de concentração de ozono, contribuindo com uma percentagem significativa para o número total de excedências registadas a nível nacional. Esta estação é a única existente na Zona Norte Interior, situando-se em pleno Parque Natural do Alvão, a 1086 m de altitude. A série de concentrações de ozono registadas nesta estação exibe um comportamento anual caracterizado pela presença de um máximo das concentrações médias mensais durante a Primavera (Abril), característica comum a muitas outras estações remotas do Hemisfério Norte. Contudo, é durante o Verão que se verificam os maiores picos de concentração horária, resultado das condições atmosféricas e meteorológicas que se verificam neste período, que promovem a ocorrência de episódios de poluição fotoquímica. Para avaliar a contribuição do transporte de longa distância nos níveis de concentração de ozono, simularam-se através do programa HYSPLIT os percursos descritos pelas massas de ar 96 horas antes da sua chegada a Lamas de Olo. Para conferir validade estatística ao estudo, as trajectórias foram agrupadas consoante a sua semelhança, através de um algoritmo de clustering do tipo “bottom-up”. Para cada cluster calculou-se a concentração média de ozono associada. Os resultados mostram uma influência significativa dos padrões de trajectória nas concentrações de ozono, especialmente durante o Verão. Massas de ar provenientes de Espanha, França, Reino Unido e Países Baixos, bem como massas de ar que apresentem elevado tempo de residência no norte da Península Ibérica, dão origem em média a concentrações mais elevadas de ozono do que as provenientes do Oceano Atlântico. Este aspecto reflecte a importância da produção fotoquímica ao longo de processos de transporte de grande escala (escala regional / global), relacionada também com os inputs de poluentes que as massas de ar recebem ao longo do seu trajecto. Contudo, os vários dados analisados neste trabalho evidenciam também uma forte influência “local” nos níveis de ozono registados, uma vez que as características geográficas da estação (altitude, localização rural) são propícias ao registo de elevados níveis de concentração de ozono. ABSTRACT: In the past four years, measurements taken at Lamas de Olo measurement site showed high ozone levels. This remote site, located in the middle of Alvão Natural Park, 1086 m asl, plays a significant role on the total amount of exceedances registered in Portugal. The annual cycle of ozone concentrations recorded at this measurement site is characterised by a spring maximum (peaking during the month of April) which is a common feature at background sites in the Northern Hemisphere. Nevertheless it is during the Summer that the hourly concentrations are higher, due to the typical atmospheric and meteorological conditions which promote photochemical pollution episodes. Air masses back trajectories 96 hours before the arrival at the background station were simulated using HYSPLIT. A “bottom-up” cluster methodology was used to group trajectories into clusters according to their characteristics, and ozone mean levels were calculated for each cluster. This allowed to evaluate the role of long-range transport on the ozone levels recorded at Lamas de Olo. The results show a significant influence of the transport path on ozone concentrations, especially in the summer. Air masses from Europe (Spain, France, United Kingdom, etc.) generally originate higher ozone levels than the ones arriving from the Atlantic Ocean. This feature shows the role of photochemical production along long-range transport phenomena, and the input of pollutants into air masses, along their path. This study also suggested that the ozone levels are affected by the characteristics of the assessed site. The geographic location of Lamas de Olo (altitude, remote site) promotes the recording of high ozone levels.

Texte intégralRésumé :
A local revision reviewed collections of Cyrtandra from Mount Kerinci, Sumatra, recognising thirteen species, three of which are newly described: C. aureotincta, C. patentiserrata, and C. stenoptera. In a regional approach covering species from Peninsular Malaysia, nine species of Cyrtandra (Gesneriaceae) were recognised. Three [C. cupulata, C. pendula, C. wallichii] are common and occur more or less throughout the area; four [C. dispar, C. gimlettei, C. patula, C. suffruticosa] have more restricted distributions, and two [C. lanceolata, C. stonei] are local endemics. Three species and one variety are reduced to synonymy: C. barbata (= C. cupulata), C. falcata (= C suffruticosa), C. rotundifolia (= C. pendula), and C. cupulata var. minor (= C. cupulata). A phylogenetic approach involved a monographic revision of Cyrtandra section Dissimiles. Eleven species were reviewed, one of which is newly described (C. fulvisericea); one species, C. producta (= C. trisepala) is reduced to synonymy. Phylogenetic analyses of sequences of the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region of 18-26S nuclear ribosomal DNA of Cyrtandra species from one community on Mount Kerinci, Sumatra, suggest that this community is an assembly of three distinct phyletic lineages, resulting from a gradual accumulation of diversity through time, although one lineage shows evidence of more recent, continuing speciation than the other two. Phylogenetic analyses of a second, larger sample of Cyrtandra ITS sequences suggest that Peninsular Malaysian Cyrtandra species have affinities with Sumatran and Bornean species, following previously recognised floristic patterns. These affinities can be explained historically, as periods of lower sea levels of the Pleistocene exposed land bridges between the Malay Peninsula, Sumatra and Borneo. A smaller sample of Cyrtandra species was sequenced for the trnL-F region of the choroplast gene, and phylogenetic analyses recognised major groups represented in the ITS phylogeny, suggesting congruence between the ITS and trnL-F data, and that the ITS phylogeny is an approximation of true evolutionary history.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Print news has been relied upon as a source of information for centuries. Despite recent strides towards gender equality, women are persistently marginalized in news content and newsrooms. This thesis analyzed over 950 staff-written Milwaukee Journal Sentinel stories and conducted 19 interviews with both men and women staff reporters and editors to examine how patriarchy might infiltrate local print news. I analyzed how women and men authors, sources and subjects are included or excluded from the news. Furthermore, this thesis examines the gendered division of labor within the newsroom.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Journalism plays a central role in the liberal democratic society and it enables the citizens to make informed decisions. In a local community it also holds many social functions such as creating a common local identity and a geographical belonging. This study investigates different aspects of local journalistic output such as news outlets, news topics, democratic value dimensions, framing, original reporting and sourcing. The output includes all types of published material from legacy media organizations. The method has been to make a quantitative content analysis of all the journalistic output produced in seven randomly picked days between July 1 of 2014 and June 30 of 2015 in three different municipalities - Malå, Tranemo and Sandviken. They are all manufacturing municipalities and represents one small, one medium sized and one large community within this type. The result of the analysis shows that a majority of the news items is produced by the local newspapers. They are the key stone media in these municipalities and without the newspapers there is a low number of local news produced by public service media. Sports is the biggest news topic in total but it is especially Sandviken who has the highest ratio of sports news. The democratic values of reporting on societal actors who disagree, decision-making authorities, policy plans and actors concerned are not commonly used. The framing of the news is mostly individual and episodical but that can be explained through the high ratio of sports news. In the more democratically relevant news about politics, economy and social issues, the framing is mostly public and thematic. A large proportion of the news is produced by original reporting with a byline. Letters to the editor is also a common type of content. When it comes to sourcing one third of the news content is not mentioning any sources at all. Sourcing is mostly common in the sports news. The study finally discusses how the local journalistic output seems to relate to democratic functions and social identity. Future studies of more municipalities or qualitative studies of citizen views or journalistic working methods would be ways of creating a deeper understanding of the state of local journalism.

It then identifies what they understand as the implications for the design of the ideal journalism education curriculum. The study assesses the relevance of these perspectives to the teaching of journalism in Zambia, as an example of an African country with a ‘developing’ economy. The study draws for its theoretical framework on journalism studies generally and scholarship about journalism education more specifically. It is argued that a review of the global history of journalism education points to the existence of three main traditions of teaching that have developed internationally. The first of these traditions is described as being dedicated to the project of ‘professionalisation’; the second to the production of ‘critical practitioners’, and the third to the project of ‘social development’. These traditions are based on different understandings with regard to the principles on which journalism education programmes should be based and the kind of knowledge that they should draw on. It is noted that this body of literature does not include extensive research of the way in which particular groups of African journalism educators respond to these traditions. In order to contribute to such research, the empirical component of this study sets out to explore Zambian journalism educators’ conceptualisation of journalism education within their own social context. It does so by means of an exploration of journalism educators based, respectively, at the Evelyn Hone College of Applied Arts (EHC) and the University of Zambia (UNZA)’s Mass Communication Department. The foremost conclusion of the research is that both the professionalising and developmental tradition can be observed to influence the participants’ discussion.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study deals with the relationship between university-based journalism education and journalism as a social practice. It is argued that the construction of this relationship can be better understood in context of its location within the history different conceptions of social knowledge. The purpose was to gain insight into how this relationship was shaped by the location of journalism education within global and local histories of such knowledge. This goal was pursued through an exploration of the international development of university-based journalism education and a more detailed consideration of the South African example. The study consists, firstly, of a literature review which demonstrates how the construction of the relationship between journalism education and journalism as practice has been implicated in the history of different conceptualisations of authoritative knowledge. The review traces the role played by Mass Communication Studies and Cultural Studies in shaping this relationship. It is concluded that the way in which these two fields have located themselves within the politics of authoritative knowledge has contributed to the marginalisation, within journalism education, of critical engagement between academic knowledge and knowledge of journalistic practice. The review also teases out how South African journalism education has positioned itself within the broader history of universitybased journalism education. It is concluded that although the marginalisation of critical education is reproduced within the South African example, a close study of journalism education in this country reveals the potential for a more critical engaged approach to teaching. The study includes an empirical research component focusing on South African journalism education. This serves as a more detailed exploration of the themes emerging from the literature review, pursued in context of an examination of a historically situated example of university-based journalism education. A central aim of this empirical component of the study was to explore the potential for the realisation of a critically engaged tradition in journalism education in South Africa. The study drew, for this purpose, on interviews with individuals who have experience both of working as journalists and of studying and teaching in university environments in South Africa. One conclusion drawn from these interviews is that journalism education, as it exists in this country, has primarily defined itself in relation to a mainstream and ‘liberal’ understanding of authoritative journalistic knowledge. It is demonstrated that it becomes possible to imagine a more critically engaged and transformative relationship with journalism practice if teaching acknowledges the existence, in the South African context, of alternative approaches to authoritative journalistic knowledge. It is also shown that within existing traditions of critical education, the relationship with practice tends to be one of the ‘deconstruction’ of the liberal conceptualisation of journalistic knowledge. The study proposes that ‘critical engagement’ needs, instead, to be reconceptualised as a relationship of ‘supportive critique’ with historically situated examples of journalistic practice.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die geskiedenis van die verhouding tussen universiteits-gebaseerde joernalistieke onderrig en joernalistiek as ‘n sosiale praktyk. Die studie voer aan dat die ontwikkeling van hierdie verhouding beter begryp kan word deur dit te kontekstualiseer binne die geskiedenis van sosiale kennis. Die bedoeling was om insig te verkry in hoe die verhouding tussen universiteitsgebaseerde joernalistieke onderrig en joernalistiek as ‘n sosiale praktyk gevorm is deur ontwikkelinge in internasionale sowel as in die plaaslike Suid-Afrikaanse verband. Met die oog hierop word ‘n oorsig van die internasionale ontwikkeling van universiteits-gebaseerde joernalistieke onderrig verskaf sowel as ‘n nadere ondersoek van die Suid-Afrikaanse geval. Die studie bestaan, eerstens, uit ‘n literatuuroorsig wat demonstreer hoe die uitbou van ’n verhouding tussen joernalistieke onderrig en joernalistiek in die praktyk ingebed was in die vestiging van gesaghebbende sosiale kennis. Die literatuur-oorsig beklemtoon die invloed van onderskeidelik Massa Kommunikasie Studies en Kulturele Studies op die ontwikkeling van hierdie verhouding. Een gevolgtrekking is dat die rol wat dié twee studievelde gespeel het binne die politiek van sosiale kennis bygedra het tot marginalisering van ‘n kritiese verhouding tussen akademiese kennis en kennis van joernalistieke praktyk. Die ontwikkeling en rol van joernalistieke onderrig in Suid-Afrika word ook ondersoek binne die breër geskiedenis van universiteits-gebaseerde joernalistieke onderrig. Dit word bevind dat hoewel kritiese onderrig ook in Suid-Afrika gemarginaliseer is, ‘n nadere studie aantoon dat daar wel potensiaal is vir ‘n meer kritiese benadering in joernalistieke onderrig. Die studie sluit ‘n empiriese navorsingsprojek in van joernalistieke onderrig in Suid-Afrika. Die temas wat as deel van die literatuuroorsig bespreek is word sodoende in hierdie besondere historiese konteks ondersoek. ‘n Belangrike doelstelling van hierdie empiriese komponent van die studie was om die potensiaal vir ‘n meer krities-betrokke tradisie in joernalistieke onderrig in Suid- Afrika te ondersoek. Onderhoude is gevoer met individue wat ondervinding het van joernalistiek in die praktyk sowel as van joernalistieke onderrig. Een gevolgtrekking uit hierdie onderhoude is dat Suid-Afrikaanse joernalistieke onderrig tot dusver sigself in eerste instansie defineer het in relasie tot die hoofstroom van joernalistieke praktyk en deur middel van ‘n ‘liberale’ konsepsie van gesaghebbende joernalistieke kennis. Die navorser voer aan dat ‘n meer kritiese en transformerende verhouding tussen joernalistieke onderrig en die praktyk van joernalistiek wel moontlik word as die bestaan van alternatiewe benaderings tot gesaghebbende joernalistieke kennis binne die Suid Afrikaanse konteks erken word. Binne bestaande tradisies van kritiese onderwys word die verhouding met die praktyk dikwels gedefinieer as ‘dekonstruksie’ van die liberale konseptualisering van joernalistieke kennis. Hierdie studie stel voor dat ‘n kritiese benadering tot onderrig in joernalistiek eerder gebaseer moet word op ‘ondersteunende kritiek’ wat gebruik maak van histories gekontekstualiseerde voorbeelde van joernalistieke praktyk.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Land use change is considered to be one of the biggest threat to global species diversity. In Sweden, abandonment of grazing is one of the most common reasons for decline in species richness in semi-natural grasslands. Today semi-natural grasslands often occur as more or less isolated fragments. The result for species that benefits from grazing is a smaller area of suitable habitat and higher extinction risks and a lowered ability to colonize new areas. Succisa pratensis is a long-lived perennial plant that benefits from grazing and is common in Swedish semi-natural grasslands. I have assessed the performance of Succisa pratensis at various spatial and temporal scales, in a Swedish rural landscape. I performed demographic matrix modelling of populations at grazed and ungrazed sites. A regional level was then added, by incorporating data collected from a large number of populations and habitat types into the matrix models and extinction risks over 50 years were calculated. A dynamic metapopulation model was created and the regional dynamics, in terms of colonisations resulting from long distance dispersal and population extinctions were examined. The effects of management history were incorporated into the model by using historical maps. In addition, I made an analysis of the impact of management history on the distribution and performance of four grassland species, using vegetation maps from 1945 and 2001. Local dynamics of Succisa pratensis was negatively affected by abandonment of grazing. Recorded population sizes were ten times higher in grazed sites than in ungrazed. The turnover rate of the system was estimated to about one extinction or colonisation per year. Both the simulation study and the analyses of vegetation maps suggested a pronounced legacy of management history in Succisa pratensis in the study landscape. Overall, the results of this thesis demonstrate the importance of management history for species in the rural landscape.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Loss of biodiversity is one of the most severe threats to the ecosystems of the world. The major causes behind the high population and species extinction rates are anthropogenic activities such as overharvesting of natural populations, pollution, climate change and destruction and fragmentation of natural habitats. There is an urgent need of understanding how these species losses affect the ecological structure and functioning of our ecosystems. Ecological communities exist in a landscape but the spatial aspects of community dynamics have until recently to large extent been ignored. However, the community’s response to species losses is likely to depend on both the structure of the local community as well as its interactions with surrounding communities. Also the characteristics of the species going extinct do affect how the community can cope with species loss. The overall goal of the present work has been to investigate how both local and regional processes affect ecosystem stability, in the context of preserved biodiversity and maintained ecosystem functioning. The focus is particularly on how these processes effects ecosystem’s response to species loss. To accomplish this goal I have formulated and analyzed mathematical models of ecological communities. We start by analyzing the local processes (Paper I and II) and continue by adding the regional processes (Paper III, IV and V). In Paper I we analyze dynamical models of ecological communities of different complexity (connectance) to investigate how the structure of the communities affects their resistance to species loss. We also investigate how the resistance is affected by the characteristics, like trophic level and connectivity, of the initially lost species. We find that complex communities are more resistant to species loss than simple communities. The loss of species at low trophic levels and/or with high connectivity (many links to other species) triggers, on average, the highest number of secondary extinctions. We also investigate the structure of the post-extinction community. Moreover, we compare our dynamical analysis with results from topological analysis to evaluate the importance of incorporating dynamics when assessing the risk and extent of cascading extinctions. The characteristics of a species, like its trophic position and connectivity (number of ingoing and outgoing trophic links) will affect the consequences of its loss as well as its own vulnerability to secondary extinction. In Paper II we characterize the species according to their trophic/ecological uniqueness, a new measure of species characteristic we develop in this paper. A species that has no prey or predators in common with any other species in the community will have a high tropic uniqueness. Here we examine the effect of secondary extinctions on an ecological community’s trophic diversity, the range of different trophic roles played by the species in a community. We find that secondary extinctions cause loss of trophic diversity greater than expected from chance. This occurs because more tropically unique species are more vulnerable to secondary extinctions. In Paper III, IV and V we expand the analysis to also include the spatial dimension. Paper III is a book chapter discussing spatial aspects of food webs. In Paper IV we analyze how metacommunities (a set of local communities in the landscape connected by species dispersal) respond to species loss and how this response is affected by the structure of the local communities and the number of patches in the metacommunity. We find that the inclusion of space reduces the risk of global and local extinctions and that lowly connected communities are more sensitive to species loss. In Paper V we investigate how the trophic structure of the local communities, the spatial structure of the landscape and the dispersal patterns of species affect the risk of local extinctions in the metacommunity. We find that the pattern of dispersal can have large effects on local diversity. Dispersal rate as well as dispersal distance are important: low dispersal rates and localized dispersal decrease the risk of local and global extinctions while high dispersal rates and global dispersal increase the risk. We also show that the structure of the local communities plays a significant role for the effects of dispersal on the dynamics of the metacommunity. The species that are most affected by the introduction of the spatial dimension are the top predators.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Doctor en Ciencias de la Ingeniería, Mención Modelación MatemáticaEsta tesis consiste de cinco partes. En la primera parte se considera el problema de Dirichlet lineal y no lineal con una difusi\'on no local regional definido implicitamente por \!\!donde $0< \alpha < 1$, $\rho \in C(\overline)$ y $\lambda dist(x,\partial \Omega) \leq \rho (x) \leq dist(x, \partial \Omega)$ con $\lambda \in (0,1]$, $x\in \Omega$. Haciendo uso del teorema de Lax-Milgran y el Teorema del paso de la monta\~na se demuestra la existencia de soluciones d\'ebiles. En la segunda parte, se considera la ecuaci\'on de Schr\"odinger no lineal con difusi\'on no local regional {\small \begin{eqnarray}\label{Aeq04-} \epsilon^{2\alpha} (-\Delta)_{\rho}^{\alpha}u + u = f(u) \quad \mbox{in}\quad \mathbb{R}^{n},\quad u \in H^{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^{n}), \end{eqnarray}} \!\!donde $0< \alpha <1$, $\epsilon>0$, $n\geq 2$ y $f:\mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ es super-lineal y tiene un crecimiento sub-critico. El operador $(-\Delta)_{\rho}^{\alpha}$ es el laplaciano no local regional, con rango de alcance determinado por una funci\'on positiva $\rho \in C(\mathbb{R}^{n}, \mathbb{R}^{+})$ y definido por {\small \begin{eqnarray}\label{Aeq05-} \int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}} \!\!\!\!(-\Delta)_{\rho}^{\alpha} uvdx = \int_{\mathbb{R}^{n}}\!\!\int_{B(0,\rho (x))} \!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\!\frac{[u(x+z) - u(x)][v(x+z) - v(x)]}{|z|^{n+2\alpha}}dzdx. \end{eqnarray}} \!\!Se prueba la existencia de soluci\'on d\'ebil para (\ref{Aeq04-}) aplicando el Teorema del paso de la monta\~na al funcional $I_{\rho}$ definido en $H_{\rho}^{\alpha}(\mathbb{R}^{n})$, combinado con un argumento de comparaci\'on creado por Rabinowitz. El objetivo principal de la tercera parte es estudiar el comportamiento de concentraci\'on de la soluci\'on d\'ebil de la ecuaci\'on (\ref{Aeq04-}) con $f(s) = s^{p}$, cuando $\epsilon \to 0$. En la cuarta parte se estudia el resultado de simetr\'ia para las soluciones ground state de (\ref{Aeq04-}). Para tal prop\'osito, se combina los rearreglos de funciones con los m\'etodos variacionales. Finalmente, se considera un sistema Hamiltoniano fraccionario {\small \begin{eqnarray}\label{Aeq08-} _{t}D_{\infty}^{\alpha}(_{-\infty}D_{t}^{\alpha}u(t)) + L(t)u(t) = & \nabla W(t,u(t)) \end{eqnarray}} \!\!donde $\alpha \in (1/2,1)$, $t\in \mathbb{R}$, $u\in \mathbb{R}^{n}$, $L\in C(\mathbb{R}, \mathbb{R}^{n\times n})$ es una matriz sim\'etrica positiva definida para todo $t\in \mathbb{R}$, $W\in C^{1}(\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{R}^{n}, \mathbb{R})$ y $\nabla W (t,u)$ es el gradiente de $W$ en $u$. Se demuestra que (\ref{Aeq08-}) posee al menos una soluci\'on no trivial via el Teorema del paso de la monta\~na.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This thesis explores the reorganisation of schools and education authorities in Scotland. National implementation of Devolved School Management (DSM) began in 1994. Two years later, Local Government Reorganisation (Reorganisation) occurred. Each policy signified a reorganisation of the education system. The thesis argues the need to consider the combination of DSM and Reorganisation in policy and practice, particularly for the roles and relationships of schools and education authorities. Therefore, the initiation, interpretation and implementation of DSM and Reorganisation over time and across 25 schools and 11 education authorities are researched. There is no previous research on this specific area of inquiry. Hence, the thesis is exploratory. The thesis develops debate about research and analyses of education policy. Influenced by and seeking to develop policy sociology, the method is qualitative. DSM and Reorganisation are interpreted within their historical, political, cultural, social, economic and institutional contexts. The need to explore issues of and linkages between structure and agency is debated. Consideration of discourse is developed to explore the nature of policies, perceptions of persons involved, the linkages to previous developments and the discursively articulated influence of structure and agency. It is suggested three central discourses characterise Scottish education policy. 'Scottishness' posits the distinctive, collective and egalitarian nature of Scottish education. The post-war 'Partnership' advocates a 'national system, locally administered' promoting 'equality of opportunity'. Both discourses have been challenged since the 1970s by an economic discourse of 'Efficiency' valuing market forces and managerialism. The thesis explores the developing and dynamic discourses and the perceptions and practices of policies at school and education authority levels. The perception and promotion of a 'Scottish dimension' within a British state and arguably global reorganisation of education indicates the complex inter-relationships between structure and agency, as articulated in discourses and affecting developing policies such as DSM and Reorganisation.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This study examined the factors that influence a local government’s decision to engage in regional collaborations. Analysis of 7 local government managers and eleven elected officials revealed that the decision to engage in regional collaboration was influenced by external factors, organizational factors, and internal motivations. Elected officials and local government managers identified a disaster occurrence, fiscal stress, outside agencies, jurisdictional benefit, and communication as key factors. Further, this research highlights the importance of the role of the elected official in intergovernmental arrangements, the role of the local government manager as the policy entrepreneur, and the influence of shared norms and values.

In the current political climate in the United States, much attention has been paid to the role of the press in our increasingly polarized society and to what extent it exacerbates or mends divisions. While the majority of that analysis is focused on national politics and news outlets, the role of local media and the crucial role it plays in civic life has been often neglected in the wider debate. In this thesis, I argue that local journalism is critical as a tool for informing citizens so they can be civically engaged and hold the powerful accountable, as well as keeping communities together. Methodologically, this thesis seeks to incorporate the worlds of both media theory and journalism practice. To understand the role local news plays in society, I utilize various theoretical frameworks, but particularly that of James Carey and his explanation of the "transmission" and "ritual" functions of communication. In my more expansive understanding of these theories, I suggest the transmission role encompasses the ways in which local journalism informs citizens on matters of public interest so that they can participate in democracy and keeps the powerful in check. The ritual model highlights the often-ignored but significant manner in which local media serves a vehicle for community identification and maintaining societal bonds. After explaining the decades-long economic decline of the local media industry, I survey the various projects and experiments in the fields of journalism and philanthropy that are seeking to revive or at least prevent local news outlets from disappearing. In the final chapter, which is based on my field research and uses a style of journalistic reportage rather than academic writing, I profile several new local news initiatives in West Virginia and Kentucky. While these projects are too recent to yet offer any definitive results, I conclude with some initial takeaways and a discussion of possible metrics to measure their success in the future. As a final note, I argue that the various sectors working to save the news industry from economic collapse, restore trust in the media and combat political polarization and strengthen democracy should consider focusing their efforts on sustaining local journalism as a means to address all three.

O Governo Federal, por meio do Programa Territórios da Cidadania, tem fomentado ações descentralizadas e participativas, visando maior desenvolvimento social e sustentável das populações que vivem nos territórios rurais do Brasil. Uma vez que o programa credita à gestão social um papel fundamental na articulação do desenvolvimento desses territórios, neste trabalho buscou-se analisar o Programa Territórios da Cidadania na região Meio Oeste Contestado, em Santa Catarina, considerando a presença da gestão social nos espaços de decisão do Colegiado Territorial e a participação dos atores sociais nesse processo. A pergunta que norteou a presente investigação foi: há, de fato, abertura dos espaços de decisão à comunidade local no âmbito do programa? A metodologia escolhida para realizar o estudo constituiu-se, em primeiro momento, de uma análise bibliográfica e documental, seguida da pesquisa empírica, onde foram realizadas entrevistas semi-estruturadas, com questões abertas, junto a membros e ex-membros do Colegiado Territorial na região Meio Oeste Catarinense. A análise dos dados coletados foi feita conforme a Matriz de Análise de Categorias de processos decisórios participativos, desenvolvida por Tenório et al (2008). As categorias estudadas foram: Processo de discussão, Inclusão, Pluralismo, Autonomia e Bem Comum. Os resultados mostram que existe abertura parcial na tomada de decisão. Os representantes do Estado, em sua maioria, defendem que os atores estão comprometidos e que a metodologia ajuda o grupo a crescer. Já os representantes da sociedade civil argumentam que interesses privados ainda se sobrepõem aos coletivos, e que muitas vezes a tomada de decisão é centralizada entre uma minoria. Além disso, relatos apontam para ação pouco efetiva por parte da comunidade local, devido à incompreensão da necessidade de participação conjunta com o poder público, muito provavelmente explicada pela novidade do programa. Apesar das inúmeras divergências e conflitos relatados pelos membros do Colegiado, todos demonstraram orgulho em fazer parte da gestão dessa política, e mais importante, reconhecem que houve abertura dos espaços de decisão após implantação do programa, embora não como gostariam. Diante disso, aponta-se para a necessidade de se desenvolver estratégias de maior envolvimento dos segmentos da sociedade e dos próprios delegados, valorizando a cidadania deliberativa e a gestão social do processo. Nessa perspectiva, o fortalecimento dos processos de comunicação internos (definição dos objetivos e papéis de cada um) e externos (transparência dos atos), também pode auxiliar no fortalecimento do Programa. Acredita-se que essas ações específicas, conjuntamente do amadurecimento gradual dos delegados, e de um maior número de projetos implantados na região, a prática tornar-se-á mais legítima, representando o anseio dos cidadãos e por eles sendo de fato reconhecida

Texte intégralRésumé :
Corneal transplantation is performed to restore vision or to relieve pain in patients with damaged or diseased corneas. However, approximately 40% of corneal allografts fail after 10 years. The most common cause of graft failure is irreversible immunological rejection, primarily mediated by CD4+ T cells, despite the topical application of glucocorticosteroids. The aim of this project was to investigate the anatomic site of antigen presentation during corneal transplantation in the rat, by using a lentiviral vector to express an anti-CD4 antibody fragment at potential sites of antigen presentation, including the donor corneal endothelium, the anterior segment of the eye and the cervical lymph nodes.
Dual-gene lentiviral vectors were constructed by inserting the 2A self-processing sequence between two transgenes. This allowed expression of two transgenes within a single open reading frame. In vitro characterisation of the dual-gene vectors was performed in cell culture experiments, which showed that transgenic proteins were expressed at lower levels from dual-gene vectors compared to the expression from single-gene vectors and expression was lowest when the transgene was situated downstream of the 2A self-processing sequence.
To locate the anatomic site of antigen presentation during corneal transplantation in rats, a lentiviral vector carrying an anti-CD4 antibody fragment was delivered to the corneal endothelium either immediately prior to corneal transplantation by ex vivo transduction of the donor corneas, or 5 days prior to corneal transplantation by anterior chamber injection into both the recipient and the donor rats. A separate group of recipient rats received intranodal injections of the lentiviral vector carrying an anti-CD4 antibody fragment into the cervical lymph nodes 2 days prior to corneal transplantation. Another group of rats underwent bilateral lymphadenectomy of the cervical lymph nodes 7 days prior to corneal transplantation. Corneal allografts were scored daily for opacity, inflammation and neovascularisation. Expression of the anti-CD4 antibody fragment from transduced tissues was detected using flow cytometry and polymerase chain reaction. Modest, but significant prolongation of corneal allograft survival was experienced by rats that received ex vivo transduction of the donor corneas with a lentiviral vector carrying an anti-CD4 antibody fragment immediately prior to corneal transplantation, but all grafts did eventually reject. Anterior chamber injection of the lentiviral vector carrying the anti-CD4 antibody fragment 5 days prior to corneal transplantation into both recipient and donor eyes did not prolong allograft survival. Intranodal injection of a lentiviral vector carrying an anti-CD4 antibody fragment did not prolong the survival of the corneal allografts, nor did bilateral lymphadenectomy of the cervical lymph nodes 7 days prior to corneal transplantation.
Neither expression of the anti-CD4 antibody fragment in the cervical lymph nodes nor the removal of these nodes was able to prolong corneal allograft survival in rats, suggesting that T cell sensitisation could potentially occur elsewhere in the body. However, expression of the anti-CD4 antibody fragment from the donor corneal endothelium was able to prolong corneal allograft survival, suggesting that some antigen presentation might occur within the anterior segment of the eye. Based on the findings described in this thesis and those of others, I propose that antigen presentation in the rat occurs within anterior segment of the eye and within the secondary lymphoid tissues such as the cervical lymph nodes, and that inhibiting antigen presentation at one of these sites will delay graft rejection. However, to completely abolish antigen presentation during corneal transplantation in the rat, I hypothesise that antigen presentation within both the anterior segment of the eye and within the secondary lymphoid tissues must be inhibited.
