This book presents the application of new techniques in analyzing truss and frame structures. The book contains two main sections: Numerical Analysis of Structures and Mass-Saving in Structures. Under each section, different approaches on the topic are given. Covered in these sections are dynamic stability analysis, design optimization considering vibration, FEM analysis, topology optimization methods, and recommendations to build lightweight structures. It is believed that this book will be helpful to its readers for new perspectives on the analysis of structures.

Lateinamerika kennt zahlreiche Protestbewegungen seiner indigenen Bevölkerung. Einer der emblematischsten Fälle ist die soziale Bewegung gegen ein Prestige-Projekt der Morales-Regierung: den Bau einer Straße im Indigenen Territorium und Nationalpark Isiboro Sécure (TIPNIS) im bolivianischen Amazonasgebiet. Mit Blick auf die Perspektiven der heterogenen Protestakteur*innen rekonstruiert Maximilian Held diesen Widerstand in seinen komplexen Erscheinungsformen. Dabei stellt er heraus, wie Problematiken der geschwächten indigenen Selbstverwaltung, sozioökologische Bedrohungen, Defizite des neoextraktiven Entwicklungsmodells und mangelnde Rechtsumsetzung zusammenhängen.

News Framing Effects is a guide to framing effects theory, one of the most prominent theories in media and communication science. Rooted in both psychology and sociology, framing effects theory describes the ability of news media to influence people’s attitudes and behaviors by subtle changes to how they report on an issue. The book gives expert commentary on this complex theoretical notion alongside practical instruction on how to apply it to research. The book’s structure mirrors the steps a scholar might take to design a framing study. The first chapter establishes a working definition of news framing effects theory. The following chapters focus on how to identify the independent variable (i.e., the "news frame") and the dependent variable (i.e., the "framing effect") The book then considers the potential limits or enhancements of the proposed effects (i.e., the "moderators") and how framing effects might emerge (i.e., the "mediators") Finally, it asks how strong these effects are likely to be. The final chapter considers news framing research in the light of a rapidly and fundamentally changing news and information market, in which technologies, platforms, and changing consumption patterns are forcing assumptions at the core of framing effects theory to be re-evaluated.

"Purpose – This master thesis examines the influence of political framing by the German party ‘Alternative für Deutschland’ (AfD) on the medial debate as a contemporary issue.Approach – Based on the concept of framing, public broadcast talk shows about the German regional elections in autumn 2019 were analysed regarding their handling of strategic political frames. By comparing the results of this content analysis with a subsequent examination of follow-up communication among selected key online-media, conclusions about the influence of political framing on the medial debate were drawn.Findings – In accordance with the findings, a distinctive transfer of strategic framing is delivered throughout the analysed media coverage, focussing on the polarising issue of how to politically classify the AfD.Practical Implications – The ascertained orientation in journalistic framing was criticised and recommendations towards a recollection of journalistic standards were given." "Forschungsfrage – Diese Master-Thesis untersucht, inwiefern das politische Framing der Partei ‚Alternative für Deutschland‘ (AfD) die aktuelle mediale Debatte beeinflusst. Methode – Angelehnt an den Framing-Ansatz werden hierfür öffentlich-rechtliche Talkshows über die Landtagswahlen Herbst 2019 mit AfD-Beteiligung hinsichtlich ihres Umgangs mit strategischen Frames analysiert. Durch den Vergleich der Ergebnisse mit denen einer Untersuchung der Anschlusskommunikation ausgewählter Online-Leitmedien konnten Rückschlüsse auf eine Beeinflussung der medialen Debatte gezogen werden.Ergebnisse – Insgesamt wurde dabei eine ausgeprägte Übernahme des strategischen Framings der AfD in der medialen Berichterstattung festgestellt, wobei inhaltlich die polarisierende, politische Einordnung der Partei im Zentrum steht.Diskussion – Ausgehend von dieser als kritisch zu bewertenden Orientierung des journalistischen Framings wurden Handlungsempfehlungen im Sinne einer Rückbesinnung auf das journalistische Handwerkszeug und dessen Standards gegeben."

This book analyses the portrayal of nuclear power in Japanese journalism and the factors that influence it. Combining a field theoretical approach to journalism with frame analysis on different levels of the communication process, the author argues that the nuclear industry in Japan used its financial power to form a ‘pro-nuclear civil society’ and that this frame sponsorship is the reason for the relatively positive portrayal of nuclear power in Japan until 2011. After ‘Fukushima’, journalistic autonomy in this domain increased and journalism became a driving force of change in nuclear policy. At the same time, the field of journalism became polarised because its more heteronomous parts remained integrated into the ‘pro-nuclear civil society’. This book offers a new perspective on the Japanese media and journalism in Japan, emphasising heterogeneity and change in contrast to previous research, which focused on press clubs as institutions of pervasive media control.
