Vom Mikrofon zur Mentalität: Wie deutsche Hip-Hop-Musik jugendliche Denkmuster formt
No full textDie Masterarbeit untersucht, wie das Hören von Deutschrap die individuelle Identitätsentwicklung von Jugendlichen unter Berücksichtigung des Framing-Effekts beeinflusst. Im Zentrum steht die Frage, inwiefern Deutschrap-Texte als Deutungsmuster (Frames) fungieren und welche Rolle diese bei der Identitätsbildung spielen. Methodisch wurde ein gemischter Ansatz gewählt, bestehend aus einer quantitativen Befragung von 149 Jugendlichen im Alter von 12 bis 16 Jahren und qualitativen Interviews mit zwei ausgewählten Jugendlichen. Die quantitative Befragung lieferte Einblicke in die generelle Bedeutung von Musik und Deutschrap im Alltag der Jugendlichen, während die qualitativen Interviews tiefere Einblicke in die individuellen Wahrnehmungen und Erfahrungen der Jugendlichen ermöglichten. Die Ergebnisse weisen auf eine Tendenz hin, dass Deutschrap als soziokulturelles Orientierungsmuster eine wichtige Rolle spielt, insbesondere durch die Authentizität und Nähe der Künstler:innen sowie die vielfältigen Themen, die im Genre behandelt werden. Der Framing-Effekt zeigt sich darin, wie Jugendliche die Inhalte interpretieren und für ihre eigene Identitätsentwicklung nutzen. Deutschrap fördert die Selbstreflexion, bietet Orientierung und eröffnet Möglichkeiten zur Identifikation mit den Künstler:innen. Gleichzeitig können kontroverse Inhalte im Gangsta-Rap eine kritische Auseinandersetzung mit gesellschaftlichen Normen und Werten anregen. Die Arbeit zeigt zudem auf, dass Deutschrap durch seine stilistischen und inhaltlichen Mittel nicht nur zur Unterhaltung genutzt wird, sondern auch ein Instrument zur Selbstfindung und sozialen Orientierung darstellt. Die pädagogischen Implikationen umfassen die Möglichkeit, Deutschrap gezielt in schulischen Kontexten einzusetzen, um die kritische Auseinandersetzung mit Texten und deren Wirkung auf die eigene Identität zu fördern
Maurice Maeterlinck, an author in the cinema of the 1910s and the 1920s: history, sociology and aesthetic
No full textSi l’œuvre littéraire de Maurice Maeterlinck suscite nombre de recherches, ses activités dans le domaine du cinéma sont moins connues et moins étudiées. La présente thèse, qui s’appuie sur les concepts de la sociologie de Pierre Bourdieu, entend combler une lacune en analysant la trajectoire de l’auteur dans le champ cinématographique pendant les années 1910 et 1920, c’est-à-dire la période où il manifeste le plus d’intérêt pour le cinéma. L’étude comprend trois analyses. La première concerne le point de vue de Maurice Maeterlinck, son entrée et son déplacement dans le champ cinématographique. L’auteur consacré dans son champ d’origine développe, dans le nouveau champ investi, des produits dérivés orientés vers le public élargi et diversifié. La deuxième analyse concerne les transformations du champ cinématographique et le point de vue des autres agents, en particulier celui des maisons de production et de distribution. Celles-ci insèrent les adaptations de l’auteur dans une série de produits plus ou moins standardisés, qui leur permettent de se situer dans le champ. La troisième analyse concerne quelques films et projets de films datant des années 1910 et 1920, liés aux œuvres littéraires de Maurice Maeterlinck, comme The Blue Bird (Maurice Tourneur, 1918). Aussi bien les composantes externes (par exemple, la mise en place du projet, la production ou l’exploitation) que les composantes internes (par exemple, la mise en scène ou l’éclairage) sont les indicateurs de la position de l’auteur et les indicateurs du fonctionnement du champ dans son ensemble. / The researches on the literary works of Maurice Maeterlinck are numerous but his activity in the cinema is less known and less studied. The PhD thesis is based on the concepts of the sociology of Pierre Bourdieu ;its purpose is to bring new information by analyzing the trajectory of the author in the cinematic field during the 1910s and the 1920s, when he is the most interested in the cinema. The study includes three analyses. The first one concerns Maurice Maeterlinck's point of view, his entrance and his movement in the cinematic field. The author who is recognized in his first field develops in the new invested field several products who are directed to the widened and diversified public. The second analysis concerns the transformations of the cinematic field and the point of view of the other agents, e.g. the houses of production and distribution. These houses insert the adaptations of the author into a series of more or less standardized products, which allow them to be situated in the field. The third analysis concerns some films and projects of films of the 1910s and the 1920s, adapted from the literary works of Maurice Maeterlinck (e.g. The Blue Bird, Maurice Tourneur, 1918). The external components (the organization of the project, the production or the exploitation) and the internal components (the direction or the lighting) indicate how the author is situated and how the field is organized.Doctorat en Information et communicationinfo:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublishe
Exploring Gravitational Waves Recordings with Machine Learning Techniques
No full textThe study of Gravitational Waves (GWs) opened a new window of possibilities to improve our understanding of the Universe. GWs provide suitable astronomical messengers for studying events that were not possible before through electromagnetic radiation, or in other cases complementing their observations. Ground-based interferometers like LIGO have been recording multiple GW events since the first detections in 2015. Despite the success of Earth-based observatories, the space limitations and noise sources on Earth point toward the need of building a spaceborne interferometer. The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) is a planned project that will provide us with such a detector and will allow gaining access to lower frequency bands and more types of GW sources. To make the most out of LISA’s strengths, it is important to identify and develop alternative data analysis tools which are more appropriate for low latency searches of GWs than the current ones in use. Machine Learning techniques are a promising candidate since they can provide high accuracies, higher speeds, and a lower computational cost. Therefore, they can be used for the development of Low Latency Detectors (LLD) of GWs, which will be used to analyze the LISA recordings. I propose to build a prototype LLD by using a Sliding Window Algorithm, which makes use of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) as its classification mechanism. To implement the LLD, I first create datasets composed of synthetic GW recordings of two different GW source types: Galactic Binaries (GBs) and Merging Blackhole Binaries (MBHBs). Then, I transform these recordings originally represented only in the time domain, into the frequency domain, and the time-frequency domain and train two different ML architectures (CNNs and Fully-Connected Neural Networks) using both the original and the transformed data. A performance evaluation is done to select the best combination of ML architecture and domain representation for solving the detection task. The chosen combination is then used as the classifier mechanism of the LLD acting in windows of five days duration. The LLD is tested on one-year-long recordings with different levels of noise. The analysis suggests that the time-frequency domain representations offer the most promising results for detecting both types of sources (GBs and MBHBs) reaching high accuracies in recordings with low to moderate signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).Applied Geophysics | IDEA Leagu
The cisanthropic figurine - Liminal humanity and affective contagion in animation cinema
No full textThis thesis aims at answering an apparently simple question: How come "cartoony" characters always seem to be able to trigger better affective responses than more realistic ones (therefore avoiding the uncanny valley). By linking classical animated cartoons to their print cartoon ancestors, the author is able to call upon the array of studies on caricature perception to build a new understanding of animated character design, summed up into a type of character called cisanthropic figurine

SDMapCH: a Comprehensive database of >7,500 modelled species habitat suitability maps for Switzerland
No full textConserving natural ecosystems requires consistent and standardized biodiversity data to advance scientific research and ecological understanding. Despite several national initiatives to develop databases of species habitat suitability maps, even well-studied countries often lack comprehensive, standardized databases that cover a wide range of taxonomic groups modelled using a consistent framework. Using Switzerland as a case study, we demonstrate how these gaps can be addressed by introducing SDMapCH (v1.3), a nationwide raster database of species habitat suitability maps at 25-meter resolution. SDMapCH provides maps for about 7,500 species under both present conditions and future climate scenarios. SDMapCH was developed using the N-SDM software, an end-to-end platform based on a spatially-nested hierarchical framework. N-SDM allows multi-level integration of species and covariate data, helping to address niche truncation. SDMapCH outputs were evaluated using a state-of-the-art cross-validation procedure, and all layers passed a systematic data integrity check. By providing standardized, high-resolution habitat suitability maps for diverse species across various taxonomic and functional groups, SDMapCH stands as a key resource for scientific research and biodiversity assessments.

Validation of the real-time-response ProCap measurement system for full field wake scans behind a yawed model-scale wind turbine
No full textFor an accurate prediction of the complex flow conditions in wind farms, model scale wake flow measurements represent important references in well-defined boundary conditions. State-of-the art flow measurement techniques are often time-expensive and require elaborate post-processing to assess the data quality. In this wind tunnel study we demonstrate the advantages of the real-time-response system Probe Capture (ProCap) for measurements of a complex three-dimensional wind turbine wake flow. The complex wake flow behind a yawed model wind turbine is measured with both a Laser-Doppler Anemometer (LDA) and the ProCap system. Both the streamwise and vertical flow component show an accurate agreement with the LDA reference experiment for various measured downstream distances and turbine yaw angles. Areas of strong rotation in the wake flow are accurately resolved by the ProCap measurement system confirming its applicability for wind turbine wake measurement. The system appears to greatly facilitate and speed up larger wake surveys by a factor of 30 and thus has the potential to enhance the understanding of the complex flow topology in wind turbine wakes.publishedVersionContent from this work may be used under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 licence.
