The interplay of art and advertising
No full textUmetnost je bila v toku časa neprenehoma podvržena spremembam. Ni mogoče zanikati dejstva, da so tudi nova odkritja imela velik vpliv na potek razvoja umetnosti. V diplomski nalogi predstavim možnosti, ki jih oglaševanje nudi umetnikom: se preko nje izraziti, ustvarjati in komunicirati z javnostjo. Drugi vidik, ki ga naslovim, je možnost implementiranja sodobne tehnologije, natančneje medmrežja, da bi s tem postala umetnost dostopnejša širši množici. V svojem delu tematiziram intermedialnost in interdisciplinarnostpojava, ki imata vse večjo vlogo v celotni znanosti ter kulturi, vključujoč umetnosti. Izkoriščanje spoznanj z različnih področij nam nudi priložnost ustvariti celovitejšo rešitev obravnavane problematike. Te predpostavke obravnavam v svojem projektu, v katerem predstavim združitev umetnosti, oglaševanja in sodobnih medijev.
S pregledom zgodovine oglaševanja sem dognala, da so meje med oglaševanjem in umetnostjo močno zabrisane, prav posebej na začetku izoblikovanja oglaševalske panoge. Preplet med njima se nadaljuje in postaja s tehnološkim napredkom vse kompleksnejši.
Preko raziskovanja za diplomsko delo ugotovim, da je sodobna tehnologija podvržena omejitvam in da obljube, da množični mediji omogočajo dostopnost do informacij vsem ter povsod, vsaj za zdaj ne izpolnjujejo v obetani meri.In the course of time, art has always been a subject to changes. It is not possible to deny the fact that new discoveries also had an important influence on the course of art\u27s development. In the graduation thesis I present the possibilities offered to the artists by advertising: they can express themselves through art, create, and communicate with public. Another aspect addressed is the possibility of implementation of modern technology, specifically internet, in order art to become more accessible to wider public. In my thesis, I deal with intermediality and interdisciplinarity: phenomenona with an increasing role in the entire science and culture, including art. The use of realizations from various areas gives us opportunity to create a more comprehensive solution of the issues addressed. I address these presumptions in my project, in which I present unification of art, advertising, and modern media.
By reviewing the history of advertising, I established that boundaries among advertising and art are strongly blurred, especially at the beginning of advertising industry formulation. With technological progress, the intertwinement among them continues and becomes more complex.
Through a research for my graduation thesis, I establish that modern technology is liable to restrictions, and that a promise for mass media to enable accessibility of information to all people everywhere, is not kept in the anticipated extent

Global epidemiology and molecular biology of <i>Taenia multiceps</i>: a comparative meta-analysis and <i>in silico</i> analysis study
No full textAbstractIn the present study, all published data on the epidemiology and molecular characters of Taenia multiceps were systematically collected from relevant databases (e.g. PubMed, Scopus, National Center for Biotechnology Information), and combined in various statistical and genetic analyses as a contribution to a better understanding of the epidemiology of this ubiquitous taeniid worldwide. While 5.8% of the key hosts (dogs) from various countries had T. multiceps, grey wolves displayed the highest prevalence (21.6%) among the definitive hosts. Small ruminants are the main intermediate hosts and carry the coenuri in various locations, but most commonly in the central nervous system (CNS). Cerebral coenuri were confirmed in 53% of sheep exhibiting neurological symptoms, and infected animals often had only a single coenurus in the brain. Sheep had a higher prevalence (8.8%) of CNS coenuri than goats (5.8%); however, extra-CNS coenuri were detected more frequently in goats than in sheep. In either case, the difference between sheep and goats was statistically insignificant. Analysis of 233 partial cytochrome oxidase subunit I nucleotide sections for T. multiceps revealed high haplotype and low nucleotide diversities. Fifty-one haplotypes were detected circulating in 6 geographic populations. China, Iran and Turkey had 2 major haplotypes, whereas Italy and Egypt shared 3. Haplotypes from Greece circulate worldwide, and displayed similar gene flow values when compared with the other populations. There were no distinct patterns for haplotype distribution in relation to the infected hosts or coenuri locations. The existence of genetic variants in T. multiceps was highlighted, but needs further studies.</jats:p
Conservation in an Islamic context a case study of Makkah
No full textThe Holy Qu’ rān contains many injunctions for Muslims to respect and conserve the natural environment but few address the built environment. Habitat at the time of the Prophet (PBOH) was in the vernacular and relatively impermanent. The first habitat was the cave, the second the tent and then simple flat roofed buildings of post and lintel construction made of mud and rubble. Later buildings were not indigenous but reflected the architectural styles and techniques of Muslim pilgrims from beyond the Arabian Peninsula. Permanent exotic buildings were later erected as reminders of holy places and events. This work advances a case to restore and preserve historic and religious sites in Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Makkah is the destination for millions of Muslim pilgrims who annually pay homage to Allah during the occasions of Hajj, Ramadan and Umra. The tranquillity and peaceful ambience that one associates with the holiest of Islamic experiences have, over the years, given way to jostling crowds of people who must be expediently housed, fed, transported, and protected. Due to the lack of planning and the insensitive but profitable development of the city, Makkah is in grave danger of becoming a bustling metropolis instead of a sanctuary where pilgrims gather to perform their religious rites and reaffirm their dedication to Allah. The author calls for professional planning and international cooperation to guide future development for this expanding and sensitive area. The author's ideas are grounded in practical and aesthetic study, therefore, the political, environmental and economic issues are examined in relationship to religious, historic and artistic values. The author makes proposals for a future Makkah that would provide pilgrims with the physical comforts, security, and serene environment they deserve—without destroying the city they came to visit. The author discusses preservation and conservation in the western world and the need for their acceptance in Muslim countries, the former being an aesthetic and intellectual concept sustained by law and the latter being the prescribed free expression of the individual unhindered by material considerations. Both worlds are rapidly being overwhelmed by materialism, but body, mind and spirit combine in making us aware of our surroundings and the way in what we see around us has come into being
El absentismo laboral en el servicio de hostelería del Consorci Hospitalari Parc Taulí de Sabadell
No full textAquest document recull les principals conclusions de l'estudi "L'absentisme laboral al servei d'hosteleria del Consorci Hospitalari Parc Taulí de Sabadell". La perspectiva teòrica que orienta la investigació és la del model de producció-reproducció. Des d'aquest punt de vista, a les dimensions que habitualment s'utilitzen per tal d'analitzar l'absentisme, s'afegeix la de l'absentisme entès com a cost social de reproducció de la força de treball. L'estratègia d'investigació combina el tractament exhaustiu de les dades d'absències disponibles a l'organització hospitalària amb l'ànàlisi intensiva de les actituds i motivacions de la plantilla, juntament amb l'estudi del context organitzatiu en què es produeix l'absentisme. Metodològicament, els resultats obtinguts mostren la pertinença de l'ànàlisi de l'absentisme des de les materialitats i no des de les opinions. La tipologia d'absentisme construïda facilita la caracterització dels col·lectius absentistes, i permet observar la relació existent entre la polarització de la plantilla segons l'edat i l'estabilitat laboral i l'absentisme. Finalment, entre els factors afavoridors de les absències, es detecta l'existència d'una certa cultura absentista i la configuració de l'absentisme com a efecte no desitjat del procès de racionalització que vol presidir la constitució del Consorci
La vida quotidiana : exploració d'un marc conceptual i d'una proposta d'indicadors
No full textL'interès per la vida quotidiana ha crescut de manera paral•lela a la necessitat d'augmentar el coneixement racional sobre la realitat social. I, més específicament, si hem de fer cas al que diuen algunes especialistes, aquest interès neix, lligat a la clarificació del que s'entén per benestar. Tal com aquest breu estudi exploratori posa de manifest, la complexitat comença en la polisèmia que acompanya el concepte de vida quotidiana, afavoridora de no poques confusions. I, continua amb una de les dificultats més greus amb les que pot ensopegar el coneixement científic. L'interès per clarificar conceptualment la vida quotidiana, en aquesta ocasió, com en tantes d'altres, ha sorgit de la necessitat de conèixer millor per actuar de manera més acurada. Els objectius de l'informe han estat deutors d'aquesta orientació. En concret, han perseguit una doble fita. En primer lloc, han anat dirigits a aconseguir la clarificació i racionalització de la polisèmia conceptual esmentada. En segon lloc, els objectius de l'informe s'han dirigit a obtenir informació sobre els indicadors socials més adients per fer visible l'abast de la vida quotidiana. Això ha suposat la revisió d'una sèrie de bases de dades existents. L'interès d'aquesta revisió és la possibilitat de reconèixer l'existència d'una sèrie de dades objectives, resultatd'enquestes o d'altres tipus de recollida de dades. Els resultats d'aquesta part de l'informe es presenten, de manera ordenada, mostrant les característiques de les bases de dades revisades. I senyalant la informació que, a parer nostre,resulta més pertinent per a ser reutilitzada com a indicadors objectius capaços de mostrar l'àmbit i abast de la vida quotidiana. Aquesta informació es completa amb una sèrie de consideracions sobre aquest tipus d'indicadors socials i la conveniència d'utilitzar els indicadors de tipus subjectiu.

Experiencing the armed struggle : the Soweto generation and after
No full textIncludes bibliographical references (p. 354-369).This study explores the experiences of the rank-and-file soldiers of Umkhonto we Sizwe and the Azanian People's Liberation Anny. Extensive interviews by the author and other researchers reveal the voices of the soldiers themselves. The African National Congress and Pan African Congress archives at the University of the Western Cape and the University of Fort Hare supplement and verify these oral testimonies, as do some published sources. Most previously published materials about the armed struggle against apartheid have already focused on diplomacy, strategy and tactics, operations, leadership, and human rights abuses to the neglect of the soldiers' actual experiences. This study complements these with significant new oral history materials from the Soweto generation of soldiers and their successors. When dealing with MK, many authors have documented issues of the camp structure in Angola, and operations inside South Africa, so much of this detail is only addressed briefly, leaving space to explore the soldiers' experiences. In the case of APLA, very little has been written on its history, and more detail is provided on these subjects. This study therefore deals with the soldiers' politicisation and motivation for joining the armed struggle, their experiences in leaving South Africa and training in exile, the crises in exile which limited their effectiveness for a time, their return to fight in South Africa, and their difficulties in the "new" South Africa. These materials reveal that vast problems remain facing these veterans of the struggle against apartheid, and that they have the potential, if properly supported and employed, to contribute substantially to the development of present day South Africa. Conversely, if their neglect continues, they also have the potential to bring vast harm to the country. Further use of the investigative tools of oral history, especially if extended to the former soldiers' vernacular languages, is necessary to augment the history of South Africa, and these soldiers' contributions
