The transition to visual mobile communication is evident in the screens of mobile phones, which have transformed from small black-and-white displays portraying numbers and letter into big, phone-sized, colourful, high-resolution displays. This is in striking contrast to the fact that only a few decades ago a telephone did not include a screen of any kind.In this doctoral thesis, visual mobile communication is situated specifically in camera phone photography and photo messaging. The main research question focuses on how the conventions of mobile phone communication are manifested in interpersonal photographic communication when using camera phones. Photo messaging in examined by using framework consisting of two themes: ritual communication and mediated presence. In addition to a theoretically oriented analysis, the study utilizes results from an empirical case study with Finnish camera phone users. 9789526000060.

The piece was her mother's, composed of gifts from her father, a heart after each child. It is links like this that make jewelry more valuable than just the sum of its parts.This study contributes not only to design research but also to the small and novel field of jewelry studies. It brings a new approach to seeing personal experiences and memories, important when jewelry is part of women's social existence. This study provides a deeper understanding of the social reasons why jewelry is possessed and worn.Women's jewelry often connects past and future generations. Such jewelry not only exists in the present day, but also connects generations. Jewelry also often works as a mediator of memories of possessors' milestones in life, relationships and family ties. It plays important roles in the rituals that make up the rites of passages throughout a woman's life. 9789526047089.

Text in English. 333 pp. Applied art and design have shaped culture and the economy in Finland since the late 19th century. In this process they have become an integral aspect of the identity and international image of the country. This book outlines the evolution of design in Finland from the founding stages of the 1870s to the beginning of the 21st century It focuses on its main underlying factors industries, training and education, culture, designers and products. Design has operated in the tension between art and industry, and continues to do so, belonging to both but never exclusively to either one. This is the source of its interest and varied dimensions. Design both serves everyday life and enhances it.

Zustand: new. Pages: 100 Language: English. Citizens are increasingly involved in the design and production of their own products. Forerunner groups are exploring new ways of doing things with digital fabrication tools, a phenomenon known as the maker movement. Especially communities who work together in dedicated spaces, makerspaces, are rapidly proliferating. They are of research interest, as they are now experimenting with new practices and organizations that indicate the possible impacts of a digitalizing society. They carry potential to do away with the negative environmental impacts associated with mass production and consumption (and decouple them from socio-economic prosperity), but there may also be new, unforeseen environmental consequences of such prosumption.This dissertation reviews the environmental issues in the maker movement, and it examines how environmental sustainability is taken up in Fab Labs (fabrication laboratories) or remains invisible and unaddressed, based on longitudinal analysis. The thesis sheds light on our possible futures, as these niche activities move towards the mainstream. It clearly demonstrates how communities attempt to enact ideology: how we shape technologies and technologies shape us. Aalto University publication series.

The longitudinal study is framed through the interpretation and critique of four prior approaches from design, art and architecture, namely Empathic Design, Interrogative Design, Relational Aesthetics and Critical Regionalism.The study presents the concept of the lktrhom as a dwelling process and place. It is where sensorial experiences of people by the means and measures of standardized electrical and electronic technologies form, are normalized and get justified. Housing concerns from a cultural geographical, anthropological and post-human architectural perspective of the everyday home, the Electrome encounters the body as its final bastion. Through the presentation of this concept for contemporary dwelling, the study presents three different positions for a design practice, for inquiry, for prototyping and as a discrete activism. Holding these multiple positions, the thesis presents the idea that practising design can generate multiple agendas as coherent action. 9789526063997.

Three mutually interacting threads could be singled out in this book. One aim is to argue that readings of Derrida have by no means been exhausted in the context of architectural research, and that his work remains pertinent for instance for working out the question of image in the context of architecture. Secondly, an architect works, above all, with and through images. He is an image-maker. Textual image shows that image presents a more complex field. Different elements influence the formations of an image, and different layers of images take part in this formation. The third thread introduces into the dissertation a complex large-scale urban project, Euralille. 9789526053028.

Zustand: new. Pages: 166 Language: English. Artistic research is the research of singular events, identified as an individual's creative moments. Such moments are open to others' interpretations but are still unique. The unique is naturally related to time. Temporality is essential to all events, but it is not possible to study temporality as such in science, for it is indeed the standardisation or objectification of temporality that makes research science. Each point of departure in research originates from an event, which can be described with a verb: painting, writing, designing, negotiating or the like. Thus, action is selected to describe temporal nature, The result of this action is usually a document, such as a painting, a poem, the minutes of a meeting or a description. Naturally, the document is not what we are interested in here, for it is a mere object: we are interested in the event which yields the document. Juha Varto critically opens up our common preknowledge of the basics of artistic research. 9789515583031.

Issued without a dust jacket. -- Published in conjunction with a retrospective exhibition on photographer Hannele Rantala in the Finnish Museum of Photography that includes works from 1975 to 2015, offering a comprehensive overview of her artistic career. Although it spans four decades, there is clear continuity in the themes, as the works explore departures, homelessness, and changes, along with borders and liminal situations. Rantala, a long-time expatriate, possesses a great deal of experience in such issues. Structured in part chronologically, the book illustrates the changes that have taken place in her own oeuvre. Each section includes an explanatory, often autobiographical, text by Rantala. -- Contents: Foreword; 1.

Both my parents fled with their families from Karelia after the Second World War, from areas ceded to the Soviet Union - along with 400000 other Finns. My father and mother came from such different backgrounds and different parts of the surrendered part of Karelia that, if it were not for the war, they would never have met, and I would never have been born. My parents didn't speak about the horrors of the war. It was only in her final years that my mother began increasingly to go back over her own experiences of it. So I too endlessly went through all the heart-breaking episodes that she carried inside her. If I couldn't get her to stop at the Truce, then, on top of the Winter War, I also listened my way through the Continuation War in all its horror, again and again, week after week. My father's mother's family ended up on the Karelian Isthmus in Vyborg having left Poland as a consequence of the upheavals in Russia at the end of the 19th century. The hardships that this involved were never mentioned. I suppose the content of my work was shaped out of these elements very early on. I have wondered whether I have really been able to choose my own subjects. All of my works come about a bit by stealth. I plan to do something else, and suddenly I notice I have made a big work about some minor fracture in my unconscious. My works and my art try to make something small into something big. As an artist I am in a conflicted situation, because, when faced with my works, my own psyche - and my inner being - are supposed to fill a big space. And yet I am often gripped by fear and uncertainty. Each work springs from the overcoming of this state.".

It presents international topics that resonate with current issues in Finnish art education. Chapters address what it means to be a contemporary Finnish art educator in a global context. The book also gives concrete examples of international collaborative projects. Rear cover has a technical sticker from the printing press, otherwise condition is fine. Text in English. 351 pp.

Soft Cover. Zustand: Very Good. Text in English. 313 pp. Covers shows light rubbing and some scuffing on the edges. Art and sport are inseparable parts of contemporary culture. There is no way to escape their presence in everyday life. Yet, they are frequently seen unconnected or even as the opposed elements of the culture. This research examines the possible contacts between art and sport in contemporary culture. It makes an inquiry of them as practices, systems and habits of action in order to analyze their connections. The study uses a humanistic approach employing various disciplines as well as artistic methods for probing the subject. The research shows how art and sport are connected through their historical development and social structure. In addition, aesthetic links between them are introduced. Finally, the reasons for their contemporary affinity and its consequences are discussed. Matti Tainio (1967) is a visual artist and researcher, who is interested in studying intersections and transitional fields between diverse concepts and phenomena.

Soft Cover. Zustand: Very Good. Text in English. 90 pp. Acid mine drainage has long been a significant environmental problem in coal and metal sulfide mining. The demand for the recycling and reuse of materials has increased significantly. When alternative solutions are being developed, a better understanding of the thermodynamic behaviour of aqueous systems is needed. In the present study a thermodynamic model of the FeSO4-H2SO4-H20, NiS04-H2S04-H20, and MnS04-H2O systems has been developed, in order to yield a thermodynamically consistent set of values for the solubility of metal sulfate over a wide range of temperatures and concentrations. The Pitzer mean activity coefficient model has been used in the assessment to take into account the non-ideal behaviour of the aqueous solution, These metal sulfate solutions have previously been modelled in the literature, Those models have been reviewed critically in this work.

Diffusion is a fundamental irreversible transport process and often the rate determining step in many industrial and natural processes. The backbone of diffusion is the precise measurement of diffusion coefficients. Still, experimental diffusion coefficients are often lacking. There was a need for tracer diffusion measurement data in ternary system to test the theoretical Onsager limiting law and also need for diffusion coefficients in porous media to be used in a simulation program to predict moisture and salt concentration profiles under different environmental conditions. The diffusion coefficients of common salts were measured in porous fired bricks as a function of concentration and temperature with the numerical computer simulation and data analysis. A mathematical model was presented. The Diaphragm Cell and the Closed Capillary methods developed in this thesis are both excellent techniques for the diffusion coefficient measurements in porous materials, The Onsager limiting law was verified for the first time for a 2:1 electrolyte.

A need for a simple thermodynamic model is obvious. The thermodynamic properties of aqueous sulfuric acid were modelled with the Pitzer equation. Both the second dissociation constant K2 for sulfuric acid and Pitzer parameters were fitted simultaneously. After variation of the experimental data used and the temperature dependency of the Pitzer parameters, it was found that only four parameters with eight terms can describe the thermodynamic properties of aqueous sulfuric acid over a temperature range of 0-170°C. The thermodynamic properties obtained are in good agreement with literature values as well as with other Pitzer based thermo- dynamic models for aqueous sulfuric acid. The recent version of Pitzer equation, NPL Pitzer, was also tested, It was found to accurately predict activity and osmotic.
