We used a mixed method. Through a representative, observation and interview with our study subjects explored survey semantic-imaginary symbolic associations that farmers in the community have on both phenomena. We found that both are non-functional at the time when farmers describe the problems they experience the effects and possible solutions to climate variations. We believe that it is essential to explore the language used affected communities when proposing public policies, non-governmental actions and scientific research related to climate variations in local environments as studied here.展开更多

This work focuses on an analysis of how digital natives carry out image capture, how much time is spent on this activity and what types of images are consumed in different types of social networks. It also examines what type of images are captured and what is done with these images in social networks. The study is applied to a specific sample of 93 university students who have full access to mobile devices, applications and social networks in their daily lives. It provides information as to their behavior within a changing techno-social scene which sees the emergence of new mobile devices, specialized applications and social networks dedicated to photography along with other nascent forms and styles of digital production and socialization. This shall be compared to a previous study carded out in 2010.展开更多
