Design and Public Relations

Design i odnosi s javnostima

Author(s): Besim Spahić / Language(s): Bosnian / Issue: 1/2006

Keywords: Public Relations

Design is, in contemporary world, one of significant aspects of Public Relations, as communication relation of business actors ad their target groups / publics. The main task of design in PR communication is to shape all mediators / structural elements of image, in accordance to subject’s goals. This article puts design into context of PR, that is creation of “Total Image”, promoting idea that design is much more than esthetisation of messages: design is actually “cleaner” of spirit and creator of profile of mental structures.

Design Thinking in Pedagogy

Design Thinking in Pedagogy

Author(s): Ineta Luka / Language(s): English / Issue: 2/2014

Keywords: design thinking; problem-solving; creativity; innovation; teamwork; skills development

The twenty-first century has brought lots of challenges for people in all spheres, including education. In the new context, traditional approaches often seem ineffective and therefore new tools and methods have to be applied. An alternative approach that might be useful in the given context is design thinking – the approach that originated in architecture, design and art, and nowadays is applied in many fields. It is a human-centered problem-solving approach that may be used in the teaching/learning process to develop twenty-first century skills and enhance creativity and innovation. This paper introduces readers to the origin of design thinking, its attributes and processes as well as its application in pedagogy.

News Design and the Audience

News Design and the Audience

Author(s): George-Adrian Prundaru,Elena Abrudan / Language(s): English / Issue: 03/2009

Keywords: news design; marketing; media effects; user-centered design

This paper aims to analyze the relationship between news design, focusing mainly on daily publications, and the audience which it addresses. The study approaches the problem from an interdisciplinary standpoint, from an economical perspective, more specifically marketing, as well as from a social and cultural perspective, through semiotic analyses, and, not lastly, from a graphical perspective. These domains all meet on the common grounds of communication and specifically journalism. In the first part of the paper the problem is theoretically outlined and later, the theory is the applied in case studies which comparatively analyze two publications that target opposite ends of the market (Cotidianul and Libertatea).

Design Of A Secure B2B Environment

Design Of A Secure B2B Environment

Author(s): Ivica Stanković,Aleksandar Mihajlović,Radomir Mihajlović / Language(s): English / Issue: 6/2012

Keywords: E-commerce; e-business; business transactions; B2B; C2B; system topology; system logical architecture; encryption; decryption; security tunnel; protection granularity

This paper presents application of the topological physical space and software logical layered approaches to design of distributed business to business (B2B) systems. Being a tutorial in nature, this paper is stressing explicitly strict, almost formal, technical terminology, which has been loosely used in relevant technical literature. In the introductory part we discuss general e-business sytem design issues, focusing on B2B systems with built in security components necessary for secure business transactions. Special attention is devoted to the integration of individual systems of B2B business partners without any additional modification or redesign of the original existing local business automation software versions.We insist on B2B designs without any existing software alterations caused by security problems. With such a design approach, security problems become totally transparent to the original designers of the business partner’s local systems and future users of B2B systems Special attention is devoted to the problems of possible drastic asymmetry of B2B business partners, where one partner could be too small and the other too large, resulting in degeneration of the B2B to customer to business or C2B system. Finally, we present design alternatives with different distributions of cryptographic modules in space, across the network topology and logically, along the stack of software layers and protocols.

FASHION DESIGN IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION

FASHION DESIGN IN THE CONTEXT OF GLOBALIZATION

Author(s): Lacramioara Simona Ionescu,Claudiu Emil Ionescu / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2014

Keywords: fashion industry; lifestyle; trends; fashion products

The current fashion industry includes an unprecedented competition, as more and more players are struggling to retain customers and attract new ones. The battle take place in this society globalized at all levels, the focus being set on fast reactions and speed: fast delivery, fast supply, replacement with new products, and increasingly smaller production costs. Today’s consumers are choosing not only based on function and quality, but also lifestyle. In recent years, the fashion industry has seen an unprecedented dynamics in the life cycle of a product from Classic Fashion, moving to Moderate Fashion and culminating in Fast Fashion. Fast Fashion offers the latest fashion trends directly in stores, and is replaced quickly if it is not “appealing” for the consumer. This trend unfortunately leads to an increase in the number of items purchased and also an impressive number of discarded products, with serious environmental consequences.

Gilson, Darwin, and Intelligent Design

Gilson, Darwin, and Intelligent Design

Author(s): Desmond J. FitzGerald / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2015

Keywords: Gilson; Aristotle; Spencer; Darwin; Darwinism; evolution; intelligent design; teleology

The article starts with stating the fact that today there is an increasing recognition of difficulties with Darwinism accompanied by vigorous responses on the part of Darwin’s defenders; among the instances of challenge to the dominant theory, one can find a book of Gilson, From Aristotle to Darwin and Back Again, and those behind the Intelligent Design movement. In relating the book of Gilson to the ID proponents, the author concludes that, while in some ways they are on the same side in opposing the anti-creation thrust of Darwinism, Gilson is neutral on the validity or truth of Darwin’s biological hypothesis. Gilson, however, whose book preceded the ID movement by some twenty years, seeks to analyze Darwinism from the perspective of the classical philosophy of nature. He well understands that, according to modern scientific method, final causes are excluded from consideration, but he calls for a biophilosophy which will be open to the reality of human experience as Aristotle was and recognize that teleology is present in nature. According to him, even if teleology seems to be a contestable explanation, chance as understood by Darwinists is the pure absence of explanation.

Graphic design production as a sign

Graphic design production as a sign

Author(s): María del Rosario Restrepo Boada / Language(s): English / Issue: 2-3/2014

Keywords: Graphic Sign; Graphic Design; semiotic model

The article attempts to show that graphic design production works through a particular semiotic process. The performance of a new sign category, the Graphic Sign, makes possible the articulation of the iconic, the plastic, and the linguistic signs in case of a specific dialogue that exists between the letters and the images in some graphic design productions. Overhauling theories of Eco, Groupe μ and Klinkenberg, we will be able to understand that Graphic Design generates meaning in a formal dimension, yet it also generates particular cognitive structures. Therefore, understanding this new kind of sign, we can recognize its communicational dimension and the powerful cultural creation platform this Design is, beyond its ability to make things visible and in the best cases clear and beautiful.

Relational Database Design Patterns

Relational Database Design Patterns

Author(s): Warren Mansur,Robert Schudy / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2012

Keywords: relational database; Database design patterns;

This document is the first substantial work devoted to the identification, categorization, and technical description of relational database design patterns. Database design patterns are structural constructs which may be reused in database designs to address a variety of design requirements. Design patterns are distinct from database data models, which are particular uses of design patterns and combinations of patterns describing subschemas; design patterns describe the structure of the data independent of the kind of data.

Institutional Design in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Author(s): Ljiljana Aulić,Zoran Kalinić / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2016

Keywords: Constitution of Bosnia and Herzegovina; institutional design; election engineering in BiH; electoral manipulation; the strategy of political parties;

The authors of the paper have been studing the electoral engineering in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where the formal rules define the behavior of parties, politicians and citizens. In the first part of the hypothesis is tested whether the institutional design of Bosnia and Herzegovina contributes to the strengthening of democracy and its consolidation. We discuss the key dilemmas and challenges of the Constitution of BiH, as well as the electoral system where we've provided concrete examples of electoral engineering. In the second part of the paper the authors state the causes and consequences of electoral engineering in Bosnia and Herzegovina, where attention is given to the institutional design. The aim is to point out the necessary reforms of the electoral system, which is expected to reduce ethnic conflicts, the creation of democratic accountability, solving social problems, strengthening the will and confidence of voters, as well as increasing women's quota in institutions. At the end of the work we point out the solutions, with the intention that the work will serve and contribute the scientific knowledge of institutional design in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Is Stage Design a Craft or Art?

Is Stage Design a Craft or Art?

Author(s): Dominika Łarionow / Language(s): English / Issue: 21/2019

Keywords: scenography; set design; theater; Prague Quadriennale of Peformance Design and Space

The article draws attention to the problem with the definition of the concept: “sceno¬graphy.” In the twentieth century, theater terminology underwent a number of changes. In the 1960s, the stage designer ceased to be a decorator, member of technical staff or even a craftsman, and became a theater artist. Currently, stage design/scenography has become an autonomous field of art, present also outside the sphere of theater building: in film, at social demonstrations, political rallies, rock concerts and in museums. The author discusses a change in the approach to the common understanding of the tasks and functions of scenography on the example of the terminology present in the language and theater dictionaries of Anglo-Saxon culture.

Reactor Design Pattern

Reactor Design Pattern

Author(s): Marko Mijač,Antonio Garcia-Cabot,Vjeran Strahonja / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2021

Keywords: design patterns; design science; object-oriented paradigm; reactive paradigm

In object-oriented (OO) applications, objects collaborate through message passing, which results in these objects being coupled and mutually dependent. These dependencies can be reactive, i.e. such that, for example, the state change of one object, requires automatic reaction in all dependent objects. Examples of such reactive dependencies can be found in various software systems, including rich graphical interfaces, spreadsheet systems, animation, robotics, etc. Unlike the reactive paradigm which natively provides abstractions and mechanisms for the management of reactive dependencies, the OO paradigm lacks proper support. Object-oriented applications developers often resort to the use of ad-hoc solutions or design patterns such as the well-known Observer pattern, which are not suitable for managing more complex scenarios. In this paper we offer a novel design pattern (REACTOR), which utilizes a graph data structure to improve the management of reactive dependencies in OO applications

Design of Compression Members for Durability

Design of Compression Members for Durability

Author(s): Jozef Vican,Marian Sykora / Language(s): English / Issue: 4/2009

Keywords: durability; prediction of member resistance; time-dependent corrosion effects;

General principles of structural elements design for durability and their application in the case of compression members are presented in this paper. The degradation effects of material deterioration due to corrosion cause the loss of member resistance, but the limit states method does not directly reflects design and verification allowing for failures caused by material deterioration. The time-dependent loss of compression member resistance was computed for specific corrosion models to express the time-dependent approximation function taking into account effects of corrosion degradation. Then, the design member resistance could be obtained using buckling member resistance multiplied by a time-dependent function considering corrosion degradation effects within the member lifetime.

Author(s): Robert Debnár,Thomas Rist,Jozef Krišťák / Language(s): English / Issue: 1/2000

Keywords: Cellular Manufacturing; Design; Methodology;

The realisation of benefits expected from cellular manufacturing largery depends on how effectively the three phases of design have been performed, namely part/machine grouping, developing the cell layout and cell system layout on the shop floor. This key question of cellular manufacturing has attracted numerous attempts in applying various design methods. This paper presents a new methodology for cellular manufacturing design. The proposal methodology is composed from products analysis, production segmentation, cells definition, cells capacity planning, cells layout design, building of simulation model and simulation process. Recently, simulation has been found to be a useful optimalization technique just in this area.
