Download or read book Computer Aided Newspaper Content Analysis written by and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis explores issues concerning computer aided content analysis for newspaper articles. Articles relevant to the Japan Air Self Defense Force's new fighter support jet (code named FSX) were collected from three newspapers in the U.S. and Japan. These data were downloaded and stored in a PC then analyzed using word processing software. At the same time, three articles were selected and distributed, along with relevant survey questions, to over 150 people. The survey was intended to examine the readers' responses to those articles. The results from the questionnaire and computer aided content analysis were analyzed, summarized and compared. These complementary studies were conducted to help determine whether computer aided content analysis could identify the information and impressions conveyed by these newspaper articles. The results of this complementary effort indicate that additional work is needed, particularly in software development, to make computer aided content analysis more useful. However, the results also showed the complexities of conveying and interpreting information.

Download or read book Using Content Analysis to Measure Media Reputation written by Xiaoqun Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This case study introduces how content analysis was applied in a media reputation research project. This project explored how to analyze newspaper articles and create a composite measure of media reputation, which is the overall evaluation of media coverage of a corporation. Content analysis is the most appropriate method for this research project because it can generate the data of media visibility, media favorability, and recency, which are three variables that are used to create a composite measure of media reputation. This case study reports details of how content analysis was used, including news sample selection, coding sheet and codebook design, and inter-coder reliability test. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of human-coding method compared with computer-aided text analysis.
Download or read book Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences written by Wade H. Shafer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences was first conceived, published, and disseminated by the Center for Information and Numerical Data Analysis and Synthesis (CINDAS)* at Purdue University in 1957, starting its coverage of theses with the academic year 1955. Beginning with Volume 13, the printing and dis semination phases of the activity were transferred to University Microfilms/Xerox of Ann Arbor, Michigan, with the though that such an arrangement would be more beneficial to the academic and general scientific and technical community. After five years of this joint undertaking we had concluded that it was in the interest of all concerned if the printing and distribution of the volumes were handled by an international publishing house to assure improved service and broader dissemi nation. Hence, starting with Volume 18, Masters Theses in the Pure and Applied Sciences has been disseminated on a worldwide basis by Plenum Publishing Corporation of New York, and in the same year the coverage was broadened to include Canadian universities. All back issues can also be ordered from Plenum. We have reported in Volume 37 (thesis year 1992) a total of 12,549 thesis titles from 25 Canadian and 153 United States universities. We are sure that this broader base for these titles reported will greatly enhance the value of this impor tant annual reference work. While Volume 37 reports theses submitted in 1992, on occasion, certain uni versities do report theses submitted in previous years but not reported at the time.

Download or read book Theory Method and Practice in Computer Content Analysis written by Mark D. West and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2001-04-30 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, computer content analysis has undergone something of a renaissance. Inexpensive and powerful desktop computers mean that computer analysis of texts is available to most researchers. The availability of software to do analyses, however, is not always linked to clear theoretical and methodological understandings. This volume seeks to deal with this concern by providing, from scholars in a variety of disciplines, perspectives upon the theoretical and methodological issues which arise when conducting content analysis via computer. Although it is not always obvious, computer content analysis is a method which inevitably calls for theoretical assumptions. Those theoretical assumptions in turn drive methodological considerations, and method in turn determines the form of the practice of computer content analysis. This volume includes ten articles by well-known scholars utilizing computer content analysis. A variety of methodological, theoretical, and practical issues are here addressed, presenting unique methods and perspectives for the consideration of computer content analysis. Intended for an audience of graduate students, scholars, and in-field practitioners, Theory, Method and Practice of Computer Content Analysis will serve as an invaluable resource of ideas and practices for those interested in using computers to analyze textual material.
Download or read book Nanotechnology the Brain and the Future written by Sean A. Hays and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-08-13 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our brain is the source of everything that makes us human: language, creativity, rationality, emotion, communication, culture, politics. The neurosciences have given us, in recent decades, fundamental new insights into how the brain works and what that means for how we see ourselves as individuals and as communities. Now – with the help of new advances in nanotechnology – brain science proposes to go further: to study its molecular foundations, to repair brain functions, to create mind-machine interfaces, and to enhance human mental capacities in radical ways. This book explores the convergence of these two revolutionary scientific fields and the implications of this convergence for the future of human societies. In the process, the book offers a significant new approach to technology assessment, one which operates in real-time, alongside the innovation process, to inform the ways in which new fields of science and technology emerge in, get shaped by, and help shape human societies.
