La representación mediática del deportista con discapacidad en el reportaje televisivo. Informe Semanal, un estudio de caso
The coverage of the 2008 Paralympic Games in the Spanish media appears almost exclusively linked to the values associated with the sporting world, according to a previous study. The Paralympic athletes are not disabled. Neither lay nor sensationalism gave a stereotyping. Because of the particularity of the event, also claims and problems disappear. This is where sports information matter the outcome, the successes, the medals. To deepen understanding of television representation of athletes with disabilities, is now being studied television information outside the dynamic daily news coverage of the Games. Analysis of other pieces, reports, has uncovered brands aimed at stereotyping related to the semantic field of journalism, one that is made visible through the use of resources that promote emotion and spectacle. Emergen life stories and intimate details. The players show great self-esteem and a positive self-identity to get away from the usual social representations of disability.
Art and Visual Perception, a Psychology of the Creative Eye
Since its publication fifty years ago, this work has established itself as a classic. It casts the visual process in psychological terms and describes the creative way one's eye organizes visual material according to specific psychological premises. In 1974 this book was revised and expanded, and since then it has continued to burnish Rudolf Arnheim's reputation as a groundbreaking theoretician in the fields of art and psychology.
Data Analytics of University Student Records
Understanding the proper navigation of a college curriculum is a daunting task for students, faculty, and staff. Collegiate courses offer enough intellectual challenge without the unnecessary confusion caused by course scheduling issues. Administrative faculty who execute curriculum changes need both quantitative data and empirical evidence to support their notions about which courses are cornerstone. Students require clear understanding of paths through their courses and majors that give them the optimal chance of success. In this work, we re-envision the analysis of student records from several decades by opening up these datasets to new ways of interactivity. We represent curricula through a graph of interconnected courses, studying correlations between student grades. This opens up possibilities for discovering intellectual prerequisites not shown in the course catalog. Extending this, we define a similarity metric for majors within the university, performing hierarchical clustering to reveal structure within this graph of majors not even present within the catalog. Lastly, we seek to show the temporal development of majors as the network grows through time. Through these approaches, our work provides improvements to current methods of viewing and interacting with student records.
