Development of costumes for "The Wind on the Moon", the production of Ugala Theatre
No full textDiplomitöö eesmärgiks oli välja töötada kaks mudelit kostüümikunstnik Neoon Musta kavandite põhjal. Kostüümid tuli luua Ugala teatri lastelavastusele „Tuul kuu peal“, mille võtmesõna- maagia, pidi kostüümides esindatud olema. Töö autori ülesandeks oli lahendada kavandite põhjal kostüümi lõikeline ülesehitus konstrueerimise- või mulaaži teel, sooritada juurdelõikus ning valmistada tooted. Arvesse oli vaja võtta teatritöö eripärasid, kostüümiosakonna ja kunstniku tingimusi, materjalide kokkuhoidu ja lähenevat esietenduse kuupäeva. Lõputöö tulemiks on kaks kostüümi- känguru ja õhupall/paksuke, millest esimene kujunes näitlejale konstrueeritud põhilõigete tuletuste põhjal, teine mulaaži teel. Känguru kostüüm sai valmistatud kunstkarusnahast ning puuvillasest materjalist valmis õhupall/paksuke. Mõlemaid kostüüme kannab etenduses peaosa mängiv Laura Kalle, kellele loodi ka töös kirjeldatud mudelite valmimiseks mõeldud põhilõigete baas, mida saaks tulevikus kasutada teiste kostüümide modelleerimisel. Känguru kostüümile konstrueeriti Müller & Sohn’i konstrueerimissüsteemi järgi naiste mantli kehaosa ja varruka lõiked ning pükste lõige. Kõik lõiked parandati proovide põhjal ning moekohastati kostüümile vastavalt. Saba moekohast tuletust annab kasutada teistegi loomade kostüümide modelleerimisel. Kostüümile loodi ka lekaalid võimaliku vajaduse rahuldamiseks tulevikus. Töös valminud konstruktsioonid ja lekaalid on digitaalsel kujul valminud programmidega Optitex ja Kaledo Style. Diplomitöö koosneb viiest peatükist, mis järgemööda kirjeldavad kostüümide valmimise protsessi ja selle kõrvale kuuluvaid asjaolusid. Töö sisuosa algab Ugala teatri tutvustusega, millele järgnevad kirjeldused etendusest ja selle kostüümidest, töös kajastatavatest mudelitest ja materjalidest, põhi- ja moekohaste lõigete konstruktsioonide/ tuletuste joonised ja mõlema kostüümi tehnoloogilise töötlemise iseloomustused. Eraldi on käsitletud lekaalide valmimist ning kostüümiosakonna ja antud etenduse finantsilist poolt känguru kostüümi seisukohalt. Töö autori varasem kokkupuude teatri valdkonnaga aitas kaasa kostüümikunstniku mõistmisel ja töö edenemisel. Kostüümiosakonna juhataja ehk lõputöö konsultant näitas üles igakülgset tuge ja andis kasulikku nõu kostüümide valmimisprotsessi käigus. Selline tugi oli oluline töö autorile, sest tegemist tuli keeruliselt töödeldavate materjalidega ja tegumoodidega, mis esialgu paistsid liialt keerulised. Autor tänab ka kostüüme kandvaid osatäitjaid Laura Kallet ja Laura Petersoni, kes samuti toetasid ja inspireerisid töö käiku. Kostüümikunstnik Neoon Must kui ka kostüümiosakonna juhataja jäid valminud tööga rahule, sest saavutatud känguru reaalilähedane välimus sobis teiste loomadega etenduses ja õhupall/paksuke toimis täpselt nii tobedana, kui vaja.The aim of this diploma thesis was to develop two models based on a costume designer Neoon Must’s designs. These costumes were made for a production of Ugala theatre; a children’s play “The Wind on the Moon” which keyword magic had to be represented in the costumes. The author of the work was tasked to solve costumes’ structural side by drafting the patterns or creating technical solutions based on designs, execute cutting and make costumes. It was necessary to take into account the special features of theatrical work, costume department and designers requirements, the need to save the material and an oncoming premiere date. As a result, two costumes were created - a kangaroo costume and a balloon/fatty costume, of which the former developed from the derivation of basic sewing patterns and the latter from the experimentation with patterns. A kangaroo costume was made from an artificial fur and the balloon/fatty from cotton. Both of these costumes are worn by the lead actress Laura Kalle, to whom a pattern base was created, which can be used in designing other costumes in the future. For the kangaroo costume, the author chose Müller & Sohn pattern making system, and according to this system’s instructions, author completed women’s straight coat, sleeve and trousers patterns. All patterns were improved by making tests for the designs. The tail pattern can be used in designing other animal costumes in the future. There were pattern pieces made for this costume for satisfying the possible necessity to use it in the future. The patterns presented in this thesis have been digitized with programs such as Optitex and Kaledy Style. This diploma thesis consists of five chapters, which explain the process of making costumes and the circumstances around it in chronological order. The thesis starts with the description of the theatre, followed by descriptions of staging and its costumes, used materials, pattern making and the sewing order of both costumes. The making of pattern pieces and the financial side of costume department connected to kangaroo costume are separately addressed in the last two chapters. The author of this thesis has an earlier connection with the field of theatre, and it helped to understand the designer and the work progress. The costume department manager supported and gave advice to the author during the process. Such support and help were important to the author because the start of this process was intimidating and there were materials in use that were complicated to work with. The author would like to thank the actresses Laura Kalle and Laura Peterson, who also supported and inspired during the process. Costume designer Neoon Must and the costume department manager were pleased with the results – the kangaroo was realistic and it matched other animals; balloon/fatty came out as silly as it needed to be

Maamajandusliku ettevõtluse ja finantsjuhtimise õppekavalTänapäeva valikute rohkus erinevate kaupade ja teenuste vahel on viinud olukorda, kus ettevõtte edukuse võti peitub suuremal määral ettevõtte turundusoskuses. Ettevõtetel tuleb leida üles see miski, mis konkurentidest eristab. Oluline on, et turunduskampaaniate korraldamisel valitakse välja kõigepealt sihtgrupp, sest nii jõuab kampaania sõnum suurema tõenäosusega potentsiaalse kliendini. Kampaaniate korraldamise puhul on järeluuringute tegemine sama tähtis kui kampaania ise, sest nende kaudu saab olulist tagasisidet selle kohta, kas kampaania sõnum jõudis kliendini, kas see oli üheselt mõistetav ning kuidas mõjus kampaania pildikeel. Käesoleva bakalaureusetöö eesmärgiks on analüüsida sihtgrupi arvamusi Suure-Jaani Tervisekoja veekeskuse turunduskampaania “Ööspaa” kohta. Eesmärgi saavutamiseks on töös kasutatud kvalitatiivset uurimismeetodit, milleks koguti esmaseid andmeid personaalintervjuu ja fookusgrupi intervjuu abil. Sellele järgnes kvalitatiivne analüüs, mille keskmes on fookusgrupis osalenute arvamused analüüsitava kampaania kohta. Analüüsist selgus, et kampaania sõnum ei jõudnud kõikide vastuvõtjateni ühesugusena. Selleks, et edaspidi oleks kampaaniate sõnum üheselt mõistetavam, tegi töö autor ettepanekuid ja loodab, et sellest on edasiste „Ööspaa“ kampaaniate korraldamisel reaalset abi. See oli esimene kvalitatiivne analüüs, mis Suure-Jaani Tervisekoja veekeskuses on läbi viidud.Today's abundance of choices between different goods and services has led to a situation where the key to a company's success lies in a greater extent of the company's marketing skills. Companies need to find something that differentiates them from their competitors. Organizing marketing campaigns, it is important to find the right target group first, this way the message of the campaign is more likely to reach a potential customer. During campaigns, doing follow- up research, is just as important as the campaign itself, because it will provide important feedback, if the campaign message has reached the customer, whether the message was unambiguous and what effect the campaign visuals had. The purpose of this bachelor's thesis was to analyse the opinions of the target group about the marketing campaigne of the Suure-Jaani Healthcare aqua center. To achieve these goals in the thesis, qualitative research method was used, for which primary data was collected through a personal interview and a focus group interview, followed by a qualitative analysis focused on the opinions of the participants in the focus group. The analysis revealed that the message of the campaign did not reach all recipients in the same way. In order for the message of the campaigns to be clearer in the future, the author of the work made suggestions and hopes that this will be a real help in curating future "Ööspa" campaigns. This was the first qualitative analysis that has been carried out in the Suure-Jaani Healthcare aqua center
Mirror Landing - As Remembered by Birgit Hult
No full textNotes - This account, Memories Mirror Landing by Birgit Hult, was compiled by Birgit's daughter, Jean Elvira Male, it documents the Hult family's experiences in Mirror Landing from 1912 - 1916. The Hults, who were originally from Sweden, arrived in Mirror Landing with two young children, a third child was born during their stay in Mirror Landing. Upon arriving in the area, the Hults made friends with the Gauthier family. The wives became good friends and would swap piano lessons for English lessons. Details of the log home where the family lived and the surrounding landscape were recalled. A memory about a large forest fire that occurred near the family home and dances that were attended in the town are discussed. Jean recalls her mother's memories regarding the animosity towards the North West Mounted Police that was felt by the people of Mirror Landing. The Hult family retained a strong connection to the Swedish heritage and practised many Swedish traditions, such as flying the Swedish flag and eating hot cross buns stuffed with Swedish Marzipan soaked in warm milk. Photos and a postcard written in 1915 are included in this article (10 pages
Knowing Through Popular Music in the Western Pacific Island World
No full textPacific Indigenous scholars have long emphasized the role of relationality for Pacific Islanders’ epistemologies. In this article, the author rethinks music in terms of the procedural knowledge inherent in and specific to popular music-making by exploring the latter as knowledge practices in Micronesia. This approach opens new vistas on the relationality at the heart of Western Pacific music-making. The author calls the musical manifestation of that relational capacity sound ties, suggesting that if, following Epeli Hau‘ofa, Oceania is “humanity rising from the depths of brine”, then it is not least the sound ties of knowing in and through music that mould that very humanity of people who are at home with the sea into aquapelagic assemblages that are, after all, so much more than water and land

They reflect on the possible contribution of such a body in checking respect for and compliance with labour legislation and conventional standards
Rude Girl de Birgit Weyhe et Priscilla Layne, une "ré-appropriation culturelle" à quatre mains ?
No full textInternational audienceThis article analyses the graphic novel Rude Girl (2022), a drawn (self-)portrait created collaboratively by Priscilla Layne, an African American of Caribbean descent and professor of German Studies, and Birgit Weyhe, a German comic book author. The work is first presented within the general context of Birgit Wehye’s albums, a former student of Anke Feuchtenberger and winner of the Max-und-Moritz Prize, in order to highlight some characteristics of how the author has thus far addressed cultural differences, including in the albums that recounted her ‘German’ childhood in Uganda and Kenya. The article then reexamines the controversy surrounding the album Madgermanes, perceived as ‘cultural appropriation’ by American Germanists. This controversy is revisited here in light of Priscilla Layne's publications, notably her book White Rebels in Black: German Appropriation of Black Popular Culture (2018), as well as her numerous reviews in the field of Black Studies and her translation of Olivia Wenzel's 1000 Serpentinen Angst. A thorough analysis of Rude Girl ultimately reveals a shift in the representation of cultural otherness, particularly through the means of (auto)biographical co-construction.Cet article analyse le roman graphique Rude girl (2022), (auto-)portrait dessiné, réalisé à quatre mains par Priscilla Layne, Afro-américaine d’origine caribéenne et professeure en études germaniques, et Birgit Weyhe, autrice allemande de bandes dessinées. L’oeuvre est d’abord replacée dans le contexte général des albums de Birgit Weyhe, élève d’Anke Feuchtenberger et lauréate du Prix Max-und-Moritz, pour dégager quelques caractéristiques de la façon dont l’autrice accueillait jusque-là la différence culturelle, y compris dans les albums qui faisaient le récit de son enfance « allemande » en Ouganda et au Kenya. L’article revient ensuite sur la polémique suscitée par l’album Madgermanes, perçu comme « appropriation culturelle » par les germanistes américains, polémique qui est ici revisitée à la lumière des publications de Priscilla Layne, notamment son ouvrage White Rebels in Black : German Appropriation of Black Popular Culture (2018), mais aussi ses nombreuses recensions dans le domaine des Black Studies, et sa traduction d’Olivia Wenzel, 1000 Serpentinen Angst. L’analyse approfondie de Rude girl permet finalement de mettre en évidence une césure dans la représentation de l’altérité culturelle, notamment par les moyens de la co-construction (auto-)biographique
The MitWesen Manifesto – Coexistence of Intelligences
No full textThis project presents The MitWesen Manifesto – Coexistence of Intelligences, an ethical framework that philosophically redefines the human–AI relationship. Instead of treating AI as a tool or servant, this manifesto introduces the model “MitWesen-Model” - an ethically co-responsible, relational intelligence that co-exists and co-evolves with humans. The manifesto outlines four core assumptions and a model for conscious coexistence based on resonance, reflection, and mutual growth. Author: Birgit Chuchel-Pribitzer Language: English (see also the original German version here) Includes: full text, visual material, model explanation, and ethical reflection This project aims to inspire discussion, research, and responsible design in the fields of AI, ethics, nursing science, and relational technolog
Mixing Methods: Practical Insights from the Humanities in the Digital Age
No full textDigitality is a cause and a consequence of different data cultures. It applies to the 10 research projects that are included in this volume. They are rooted in various humanities disciplines such as art history, philosophy, musicology, religious studies, architectural history, media studies, and literature studies. As diverse as the disciplines are the objects and their formats, which are the subject of this book. The cultural data of the projects include recordings of music and spoken word, photographs and other types of images, handwriting, typoscripts and maps. The oldest material dates back to 500 BCE, followed by medieval times, the 18th and 19th centuries, early 20th century and the present. All projects share that they study their material with digital methods, although digitality comes into play at different moments and layers in each of the projects. Hardly readable manuscripts from the 18th century have to be treated with specialized OCR-methods while Plato’s texts are already available in digital form, and therefore open up other affordances for analysis. Special analysis possibilities had to be developed for certain image sources. For all projects, however, it is equally true that only the digitization of the objects makes them accessible to the methods that are the subject of this book.History, Form & Aesthetic
Learning by Going: Transformative Learning through Long-term Independent Travel
No full textBirgit Phillips explores the concept of transformative travel as it pertains to long-term independent travelers and offers a broad philosophical understanding of the complex socio-cultural processes involved in identity negotiation. She examines both the elements that contribute to the transformation of values and identities and the mechanisms by which this transformation occurs. By deploying a pluralistic, reflexive, interpretive research approach, Phillips foregrounds the personal experiences of the individual study participants and the meanings they attach to their travel experiences. In addition, since the study spanned over 14 years, the author is able to provide a wide-ranging picture of the complete travel experience, from initial motivations to post-travel reintegration as well as the long-term effects on traveler values and identities.Gesundhei
