Der erste Weltkrieg im Spiegel des Pester Lloydes
No full textIn der Einleitung lernen wir mit der Lage der Presse in dem 19. Jahrhundert kennen, als der Pester Lloyd und sein Vorläufer, die Pester Zeitung geboren worden sind. Dann wird die Entwichlungsgeschichte unseres Forschungsobjekts skizziert. Den Kern der Arbeit bilden das zweite, dritte und vierte Kapitel, die sich tatsächlich mit der unter dem ersten Weltkrieg fuktionierten Berichterstattung des Blattes beschäftigt. Die zentrale Frage liegt darin, warum die Presse nicht immer die Wahrheit vermittelt
hat und hat jahrelang das Publikum beirrt.BKgermanisztika - németBSc/B
The use of Pester power by companies in food marketing & its impact on children’s health
No full textThis study is about Pester Power, a social trend affecting the majority of parents in Ireland. Children
have become a prime target for Marketers. The research will focus on food marketing. Indeed, this
sector can prompt a lot of consequences on children’s health.
I chose this subject because I am preparing a Bachelor of Business in Marketing. It is very important
for me to understand the strategy of brands. More precisely, I am looking for a block release training
from September 2016 to August 2017 in France in the food-processing industry.
The main question that will guide the proposed study is: “The use of Pester Power by companies in
food marketing and its impact on children’s health”. To answer this question, I read some analysis
and studies about Pester Power, Children Eating Habits, Food Marketing, Children’s Obesity,
Children’s Health and Parents’ Purchase Behavior, exhibited in the Literature Review.
Marketing affects children’s life, particularly their physical health. In Ireland, 1 out of 4 children is
overweight or obese and this country is on course to become the most obese country in Europe.
Parents need to learn how to say “no” to their children and brands have to reinforce their healthy
eating messages.
I interviewed parents by myself to know their opinion about Pester Power and the role of brands
(and their ads) in food marketing. Moreover, I also interviewed a professional in Food Marketing. I
used qualitative and quantitative methods to interview them. Author keywords: Pester power, children’s health, obesity, food marketin
Time-variant partial directed coherence for analysing connectivity: A methodological study
No full textFor the past decade, the detection and quantification of interactions within and between physiological networks has become a priority-in-common between the fields of biomedicine and computer science. Prominent examples are the interaction analysis of brain networks and of the cardiovascular-respiratory system. The aim of the study is to show how and to what extent results from time-variant partial directed coherence analysis are influenced by some basic estimator and data parameters. The impacts of the Kalman filter settings, the order of the autoregressive (AR) model, signal-to-noise ratios, filter procedures and volume conduction were investigated. These systematic investigations are based on data derived from simulated connectivity networks and were performed using a Kalman filter approach for the estimation of the timevariant multivariate AR model. Additionally, the influence of electrooculogram artefact rejection on the significance and dynamics of interactions in 29 channel electroencephalography recordings, derived from a photic driving experiment, is demonstrated. For artefact rejection, independent component analysis was used. The study provides rules to correctly apply particular methods that will aid users to achieve more reliable interpretations of the results
How packaging affects the product preferences of children and the buyer behaviour of their parents in the food industry
No full textPurpose – Health is becoming an increasingly important issue in the UK as well as the rest of Europe. Emphasis on the importance of healthy eating is ongoing for many reasons, including the growing concern about childhood obesity resulting in the ban of advertising of unhealthy foods to children in the UK in April 2007. However, although legislation has been placed upon the advertising of unhealthy food products, no such restrictions have been placed on the packaging of children's foods despite the influence of packaging on consumer buyer decisions. This paper aims to investigate the effect of packaging on children's product preferences and its ability to influence parents' buyer decision in-store. Design/methodology/approach – The study was approached from the parents' rather than the children's perspective. A quantitative approach was adopted in data collection, using a 28 item Likert scaled questionnaire administered to 150 parents, with over 95 percent response rate. Findings – The study shows that packaging does affect the product preferences of children. Also, children are particularly interested in influencing the purchase of unhealthy foods. However, parents within the study claimed that they did not succumb to their children's requests for the purchase of unhealthy food, which contradicts evidence from previous findings.
Research limitations/implications – The claim by parents that they did not succumb to their children's requests for unhealthy food contradicts findings from previous research. This therefore leads to a recommendation for further studies as social desirability bias may have influenced the outcomes of the findings.
Practical implications – Findings from this study can be applied within the retail and service marketing sector to provide the practitioner with information relevant to decision making on children's influence on parents buyer behavior in-store. Outcomes of the study are also important when considering the future of children's food marketing and tackling the issue of childhood obesity.
Originality/value – The paper demonstrates that there is a relationship between packaging and children product preferences and children's influence on parents' buyer decision in-store
Fat tax, subsidy or both? The role of information and children’s pester power in food choice
No full textUsing a discrete choice experiment with real economic incentives, this paper studies how food fiscal policies and external influences (such as pestering and information) can affect parental choice of food for their child. Using pairs of a parent and child, the experimental design varies the food prices of healthier and unhealthier alternatives of food products for children as part of specific food fiscal policies. We then examine the interplay of children’s pester power as well as information about the fiscal policies. The results from our lab experiment suggest that (a) implementing a fat tax and a subsidy simultaneously can shift parental behavior to healthier food products to a greater degree than a fat tax or a subsidy alone, (b) providing information regarding the food fiscal policies can further increase the impact of the intervention, and (c) child pestering is one of the causes of the moderate effectiveness of the policies as it strongly affects parents in making unhealthier choices
Making Speech-Matter: Recurring Mediations in Sound Poetics and its Contemporary Practice
No full textThis thesis produces a critical and creative space for new forms of sound poetics. Through a reflective process combining theoretical research and poetic practice – performances, text-scores and installations – the thesis tests the contemporary terms of intermedial poetics and sound poetry, establishing a conceptual terminology for speech-matter. Beginning with a study of 1960s sound poet Henri Chopin and his relation to the tape machine, I argue that this technological mediation was based on a poetics of analogue sound hinged on bodily engagement. Social and physical properties of the tape machine contribute to a mode of practice that negotiates the body, machine, and effort. Exploring Michel Serres’s concept of parasitic noise and the relation of interference to lyric appeal, via the work of Denise Riley and Hannah Weiner, I understand sound poetics as a product of lyrically active noise. Through an analysis of radio address, a conceptual link is drawn between lyric poetry and technological mediation, which posits the radiophonic as a material effect of transmission and also a mode of hailing. This is tested through sound poems that are investigative of distortion and echo. Addressing the conceptual limits of Intermedia, a new critical model is established for a poetics of sound operating in present-day media technologies. This alternative model, based on a concept of milieu, is a means of negotiating a poem’s materiality and context, in order to posit a work’s multiple connections and transmissions. This model is tested through the text and installation work of Caroline Bergvall, and subsequently realised in my own gallery installation that investigates links between sound, milieu and archive. Through this research into mediated speech, new platforms for intermedial sound poetics are produced. This project offers a model for practice-based research that produces knowledge of speech-matter by way of the ‘black box’ of poetic practice

Norbert Elias, Catherine Deneuve and Gender Equality
No full textSince the Weinstein affair, there has been a great deal of debate over men’s sexual urges. The sociology of Norbert Elias has proven to be a precious resource to help understand this historic moment and move beyond the media’s opposition between the “freedom to pester” and the moral duty to “rat out your pig”
