Abstract:
Content analysts have made substantial progress in moving beyond the framework in which science news is assessed primarily in terms of accuracy and adequacy, but content-analytic studies of science news remain under-theorized and too narrowly focused. We recommend that content analysts (1) broaden their scope of inquiry to accommodate the great diversity of outlets and audiences for science news, and (2) offer more explicit and rigorous theoretical accounts of content-analytic data. To facilitate this latter recommendation, we suggest that content analysts borrow as needed from recent work in linguistics and rhetoric and reaffirm and rearticulate the connection between content analytic research and social theory. In addition, we discuss the need for content analysts to develop theories capable of documenting and understanding science news in the emerging era of electronic media.

Abstract:
As society becomes more racially, ethnically, and culturally diverse, therapists' training needs to become broader in order to incorporate greater cultural sensitivity into practice. Educational programs must create a cultural milieu that challenges students to explore the complexities of race, ethnicity, and culture. The authors analyze training-program culture in terms of curriculum, structural composition, and the clinical components of practice. Suggestions for how the culture of programs can be reshaped are offered.

Projeto de Graduação apresentado à Universidade Fernando Pessoa como parte dos requisitos para obtenção do grau de Licenciado em Criminologia
Pretende-se, com a realização deste projeto, abordar o fenómeno da corrupção, explorando algumas das suas múltiplas facetas, focando essencialmente os dados e a informação relativa ao nosso país. Conscientes que estamos perante um fenómeno complexo e abrangente, transversal a todas as classes sociais, consideramos importante saber que opinião têm os portugueses sobre este flagelo. Procedeu-se à análise de vasta literatura sobre a temática em escrutínio, procurando-se sempre estabelecer as necessárias ligações entre o conceito social e o conceito legal, que neste trabalho se autonomizaram, para efeitos de estudo, mas que são, na prática, indissociáveis. Estabeleceu-se, como meta deste estudo, tentar descobrir novas ferramentas de combate à corrupção ou, pelo menos, melhorar o uso das ferramentas já existentes, contribuindo para o seu aperfeiçoamento, tentando, através da informação recolhida, providenciar formas de uso para conseguir uma maior eficácia no combate a este fenómeno.
The aim of this project is to address the phenomenon of corruption, exploring some of its multiple facets, focusing essentially on data and information related to our country. Conscious that we are facing a complex and embracing phenomenon, transversal to all social classes, we consider it important to know what opinion the Portuguese have about this scourge. An analysis of the vast literature on the subject under scrutiny was carried out, always seeking to establish the necessary links between the social concept and the legal concept, which in this paper became autonomous, for the purposes of study, but are, in practice, inseparable. The aim of this study is to try to discover new tools to fight corruption or, at least, to improve the use of existing tools, contributing to their improvement, trying, through the information collected, to provide ways of using them to achieve a greater effectiveness in combating this phenomenon.

Abstract:
This thesis analyses the long-distance control of the environmentally-situated imagination, in both spatial and temporal dimensions. Central to the project is what I call the extended social brain hypothesis. Grounded in the Peircean conception of 'pragmaticism‘, this re-introduces technical intelligence to Dunbar‘s social brain—conceptually, through Clark‘s 'extended mind‘ philosophy, and materially, through Callon‘s 'actor–network theory‘. I claim that: There is no subjectivity without intersubjectivity. That is to say: as an evolutionary matter, it was necessary for the empathic capacities to evolve before the sense of self we identify as human could emerge. Intersubjectivity is critical to human communication, because of its role in interpreting intention. While the idea that human communication requires three levels of intentionality carries analytical weight, I argue that the inflationary trajectory is wrong as an evolutionary matter. The trend is instead towards increasing powers of individuation. The capacity for tool-use is emphasized less under the social brain hypothesis, but the importance of digital manipulation needs to be reasserted as part of a mature ontology. These claims are modulated to substantiate the work-maker, a socially situated (and embodied) creative agent who draws together Peircean notions of epistemology, phenomenology and oral performance.

Foad, Colin. "Social context mismatch theory." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2016. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/84359/.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis outlines the novel theoretical approach of social context mismatch theory (SCMT). SCMT outlines how changes in context can lead to mismatches between motives and their surrounding environment. For example, the basic human desire to care for others has become problematic in a modern context, where globalised identities are possible. We want to care for all the vulnerable members of society, but we are faced with numerous barriers. The conclusion of SCMT is that these mismatches provide fertile soil for hypocrisy to thrive, as people become accustomed to failing to meet their desired standards. Having introduced the theory, three core chapters use this model to outline how broader contextual perspectives can bring different psychological concepts together in order to gain a novel perspective on well-established social psychological processes. Chapter 2 outlines how people see their values as dynamic over time and illustrates relationships between this dynamism and well-being. Chapter 3 shows how people display different forms of hypocrisy in the realm of ethical consumption and how higher thresholds for ethical behaviour can encourage greater desire to change to a more pro-social position. Chapter 4 manipulates perceptions of complexity of a little-known moral issue and shows how greater complexity can lead to less harsh moral judgements and a reduced willingness to engage with remedial action. Finally, the thesis concludes by outlining a range of future directions that SCMT opens up, particularly for those who want to bring relatively isolated psychological ideas together. Accordingly, there is a strong focus on how a simultaneous awareness of multiple contexts can provide new perspectives on psychological processes. SCMT is a theory that is inextricably linked to working towards a more caring world and the dissertation reflects this motivation.

Abstract:
Subjects' views and conceptions of social intelligence were investigated by having 40 adults, male inmates in an Alberta correctional centre rate the importance of 20 behavioral characteristics representing the domain of social intelligence. Social intelligence was defined as a person's ability to understand others and to act wisely in social situations. The 20 characteristics, derived from an earlier study by Ford and Miura (1983), were rated for each of three common social contexts by having subjects think of the kind of person who would be a close personal friend, a teacher, or a person in a conflict. The following research questions were addressed in the study: a) How do adult, male inmates in an Alberta correctional centre view the construct of social intelligence? b) Do subjects' ratings of the 20 characteristics that describe social intelligence form factors that resemble the clusters identified by subjects rating the same 20 characteristics in a study by Ford and Miura (1983)? c) How do subjects' ratings of social intelligence differ among the three social contexts investigated? d) Is there a common core of social intelligence characteristics that subjects rate as important across all three social contexts? Descriptive statistics revealed that subjects generally rated the 20 characteristics as quite high in importance in all three social contexts. However, the characteristics were rated highest in importance in the context "A teacher", followed by "A close personal friend" and "A person in conflict". Factor analyses revealed that subjects' ratings in the present study shared some similarities in structure with the clusters or categories of characteristics identified by subjects in the earlier study by Ford and Miura (1983). Analyses of variance revealed several significant differences when sujects' ratings of importance of the 20 characteristics and four categories of social intelligence were compared across contexts. In the present study, a common core of four characteristics of social intelligence were ranked highly in importance across all three social contexts. Findings from the present study provide support for the existence of the categories "Prosocial skills" and "Social-instrumental skills" as identified in the study by Ford and Miura (1983). The importance of studying the construct of social intelligence in particular social contexts and particular populations was also demonstrated. Finally, the implications of the findings of the present study are discussed in relation to the planning and delivery of inmate education programs as well as the continuing study of the construct of social intelligence.

A cada dia mais e mais brasileiros possuem um telefone celular de última geração com conexão à internet. Estes novos aparelhos são capazes de ler diferentes tipos de etiquetas usadas para armazenar, recuperar e gerenciar informações, e estão conosco em toda parte para apoiar nossas tarefas diárias. Estes pequenos computadores são conscientes de seu entorno, e propícios à comunicação e colaboração com o mundo real. Devido a sua popularidade, disponibilidade e massa crítica de usuários atingida, novos serviços são desenvolvidos baseados no conceito da computação ubíqua, onde computadores e seres humanos são unificados em torno da noção de ambiente. Estes sistemas pervasivos lidam com questões de interação de contexto e reconhecimento de ambientes, e se adaptam de acordo com as preferências do usuário. Nesta dissertação são descritos o desenvolvimento e testes de usabilidade de uma rede social que é fundamentada nos conceitos da computação ubíqua e Internet das Coisas. Esta rede social, dirigida para o tema da enogastronomia, é acessível por dispositivos móveis e utiliza códigos de duas dimensões colados nas garrafas dos vinhos para através do software e da câmera do celular trazer informações de acordo com o contexto do objeto, lugar e preferência do usuário.

These small computers are aware of their surroundings and propitious to communication and collaboration with the real world. Due to their popularity, availability and critical mass of users reached, new services are developed based on the concept of ubiquitous computing, where computers and humans are unified around the concept of environment. These systems deal with issues of pervasive interaction of context, recognition of environments and adapt according to user preferences. This thesis presents a description of the development and usability testing of a social network that is based on the concepts of ubiquitous computing and the Internet of Things. This social network, addressed to the theme of enogastronomy, is accessible by mobile devices and uses twodimensional codes pasted on the bottles of wine for using the software and the phone s camera to bring information in accordance with the context of the object, place and user preference.

Abstract:
With technological advancements in data collection techniques allowing increasing amounts of contextual metadata to be appended to everyday image files, it has become a daunting task to effectively display such supplemental data alongside original image content without overloading users with information. I propose a unique approach to actively display geo-tagged image content that embeds the images in a navigable 3D environment in a way that makes explicit the geographical context and spatiotemporal relationships between the images. This approach enhances the viewer's comprehension of the image's context and content thus supporting my hypothesis that context extracted from metadata can enhance image content absorption rather than hinder it. The 3D environment is built by mapping Google Street View images onto a spherical tessellation within which user image content is overlaid. The proposed geographical browser and social-networking system is implemented on an iPad, using the iPad's built-in compass, gyroscopes, and accelerometers to provide real-time gesture control and spatial orientation. User studies were performed on the proposed system as well as on a standard social-networking application for comparison purposes. The results were used to evaluate the relative performance of the system in enabling users to absorb and comprehend image information. Test subject were found to consistently answer questions more accurately on images viewed on the proposed system as compared to the images viewed on a typical social-networking application.
Les avancées technologiques dans les techniques de collection de données augmentant la quantité de méta données contextuelles à associer aux images de tous les jours, afficher ces données supplémentaires de manière effective avec l'image originale est devenu une tâche ardue. Je propose une approche unique permettant d'afficher de manière active du contenu géo taggué qui renferme des images dans un environnement 3D navigable d'une manière qui rend explicite le contexte géographique et la relation spatiotemporelle entre les images. Cette approche augmente la compréhension du contexte et du contenu de l'image par l'observateur, supportant ainsi ma thèse selon laquelle le contexte extrait des métadonnées peut améliorer l'absorption du contenu de l'image plutôt que de le cacher. L'environnement 3D est construit en cartographiant des images de Google Street View dans une tessellation sphérique sur laquelle le contenu de l'image est superposé. Le navigateur géographique et outil de réseau social proposé est implémenté sur un iPad, utilisant la boussole intégrée à l'iPad, ses gyroscopes et accéléromètres pour fournir en temps-réel des contrôles par gestes et orientation spatiale. Des études utilisateurs ont été effectuées sur le système proposé, de même que sur une application de réseau social standard à fin de comparaisons. Les résultats ont été utilisés afin d'évaluer la performance relative du système à permettre aux utilisateurs d'absorber et comprendre l'information de l'image. Les sujets de test ont donné de manière consistante des réponses plus précise aux questions répondues sur des images observées sur le nouveau système comparé aux images observées sur une application typique de réseau social.

Abstract:
Project-based organizations (PBOs) are becoming increasingly widespread and important for the modern economy and society. Thus, they attact significant scholarly attention to their distinctive features. The unit of analysis employed by the majority of the studies is the project-based organization as a whole. Hence, the locus of attention stays at the organizational level, whereas project-related effects are discussed in terms of aggregate properties. With very few exceptions, projects as distinct entities do not feature prominently in the discussion of project-based organizations. This observation creates an interesting paradox. In particular, when projects are discussed as separate units of analysis, their complex organizational dynamics, idiosyncrasies, and institutional embeddedness are among important loci of attention. However, when projects and project collections are discussed within the context of the PBO, the very same aspects tend to be downplayed. Most commonly, projects are either neglected or implicitly assumed to be homogeneous, interchangeable atomic units without internal structure or dynamics, obediently following orders of the parent organizations. Their internal organizational properties are overlooked and the individual-level variables are assumed to have little or no influence on the project outcomes. This thesis questions these assumptions and posits that understanding the dynamics at the project operations level might have important implications for explaining the effectiveness of management arrangements in the PBO. In particular, this thesis aims to explore the factors that shape project-based operations in the setting of the project-based organization. The thesis examines three particular factors which affect organizing of the project-based operations: (1) the content of operations; (2) the context of operations; and (3) the social processes at the operational level. Structurally, the thesis comprises a cover essay and four appended papers (three of them published in international peer-reviewed journals). Largely inductive in nature, the thesis builds on two research studies. The first study represents an in-depth “insider” case study of project-based operations in the Operations division of a large pharmaceutical company. It employs a combination of data collection methods, including semi-structured interviews, participant observations, and document analysis. The second study represents a structured framework-based literature review. Recognizing the organizational properties of projects, the thesis draws upon several literature streams within organization theory and design to analyze the empirical data. The results elaborate how the organizing of project-based operations in the PBO is shaped by the interplay between the content, intra-organizational and wider institutional contexts, as well as endogenous social processes. The thesis contributes to the literature on project-based organizations by developing an institutional, as well as extending a contingency perspective on organizing project-based operations. Further, the results call for revisiting the conceptualization of the PBO by questioning the view of projects as atomic and homogeneous units. Finally, the thesis contributes to the literature by developing an organization design perspective on the PBO. In terms of managerial implications, the thesis offers a few frameworks which can be used to support the decision-making process in a PBO. In particular, Paper I develops a contingency model of program management competences (the 3C model), Paper II derives a framework that can help PBO managers in evaluating the sources of isomorphic pressure on individual projects and programs, while Paper IV puts forth an organization design model for the PBO. At a more general level, Paper II discusses how the identified isomorphic processes within the PBO can limit flexibility, innovation, and efficiency. Finally, the cover essay discusses the important factors that need to be scrutinized in order to assess organizing of the project-based operations, such as the technical content, the project landscape and social landscape or the influence of institutionalised practices and models.

Em meio a grande sobrecarga de dados disponíveis na internet, sistemas de recomendação tornam-se ferramentas indispensáveis para auxiliar usuários no encontro de itens ou conteúdos relevantes. Diversas técnicas de recomendação são aplicadas em diversos tipos de domínios diferentes. Seja na recomendação de filmes, música, amigos, lugares ou notícias, sistemas de recomendação exploram diversas informações disponíveis para aprender as preferências dos usuários e promover recomendações úteis. Uma das estratégias mais utilizadas é a de filtragem colaborativa. A qualidade dessa estratégia depende da quantidade de avaliações disponíveis e da qualidade do algoritmo utilizado para predição de avaliação. Estudos recentes demonstram que informações provenientes de redes sociais podem ser muito úteis para aumentar a precisão das recomendações. Assim como acontece no mundo real, no mundo virtual usuários buscam recomendações e conselhos de amigos antes de comprar um item ou consumir algum serviço, informações desse tipo podem ser úteis para definição do contexto social da recomendação. Além do social, informações físicas e temporais passaram a ser utilizadas para definição do contexto físico de cada recomendação. A companhia, a localização e as condições climáticas são bons exemplos de elementos físicos que levam um usuário a preferir certos itens. Um processo de recomendação que não leve em consideração elementos contextuais pode fazer com que o usuário tenha uma péssima experiência consumindo determina do item recomendado equivocadamente. Esta dissertação tem como objetivo investigar técnicas de filtragem colaborativa que utilizam contexto a fim de realizar recomendações que auxiliem usuários no encontro de itens relevantes. Nesse tipo de técnica, um sistema de recomendação base é utilizando para fornecer recomendações para o usuário alvo. Em seguida, são filtrados apenas os itens considerados relevantes para contextos previamente identificados nas preferências do usuário alvo. As técnicas implementadas foram aplicadas em dois experimentos com duas bases de dados de domínios diferentes: uma base composta por eventos e outra por filmes. Na recomendação de eventos, investigamos o uso de contextos físicos (i.e., tempo e local) e de contextos sociais (i.e., amigos na rede social) associados aos itens sugeridos aos usuários. Na recomendação de filmes, por sua vez, investigamos novamente o uso de contexto social. A partir da aplicação de pós-filtragem em três algoritmos de filtragem colaborativa usados como base, foi possível recomendar itens de forma mais precisa, como demonstrado nos experimentos realizados.
The overload of data available on the internet makes recommendation systems become indispensable tools to assist users in meeting items or relevant content. Several recommendation techniques were has been userd in many different types of domains. Those systems can recommend movies, music, friends, places or news; recommender systems can exploit different information available to learn preferences of users and promote more useful recommendations. The collaborative filtering strategy is one of the most used. The quality of this technique depends on the number of available ratings and the algorithm used to predict. Recent studies show that information from social networks can be very useful to increase the accuracy recommendations. Just as in the real world, the virtual world users ask recommendations and advice from friends before buying an item or consume a service. Furthermore, the context of each rating may be crucial for the definition of new ratings. Location, date time and weather conditions are good examples of useful elements to define what should be the best items to recommend for some user. A recommendation process that does not respect those elements can provide a user a bad experience. This dissertation investigates collaborative filtering techniques based on context, and more specifically techniques based on post-filtering. First, a recommendation system was used to provide recommendations for a specific user. Then, only relevant items according to context preferences for the target user will be recommended. The techniques implemented was applied in two case studies with two different domains databases: one base composed of events and another of movies. In the event of recommendation, we investigated the use of physical contexts (i.e., time and place) and social contexts (i.e., friends in the social network) associated with items suggested to users. On the recommendation of movies, in turn, again we investigated the use of social context. From the application of post-filtering in three collaborative filtering algorithms used as a baseline, it was possible to recommend items more accurately, as demonstrated in the experiments.

Abstract:
Nossa incapacidade em compreender todos os fatores responsáveis por fenômenos naturais faz com que tenhamos que recorrer a simplificações na representação e na explicação destes. Por sua vez, a forma com que representamos e pensamos a respeito destes fenômenos é influenciada por fatores de natureza interna, como o nosso estado psicológico, ou então de natureza externa, como o ambiente social. Dentre os fatores externos, o ambiente social, ou contexto social, é um dos que tem maior influência na forma que pensamos e agimos. Quando estamos em grupo, mudamos a todo instante a forma com que resolvemos problemas em resposta ao contexto que nos cerca. Entretanto, esta característica até então foi pouco explorada em modelos computacionais de resolução coletiva de problemas. Este trabalho investiga o impacto do contexto social na resolução coletiva de problemas. Nós apresentaremos evidências de que o contexto social tem um papel importante na forma com que o grupo e o indivíduos se comportam. Mais precisamente, nós mostraremos que a centralidade de um indivíduo na rede social nem sempre é um bom preditor de sua contribuição quando o mesmo pode adaptar sua estratégia de busca em resposta ao contexto. Além disso, mostraremos que a adaptação ao contexto social por parte dos indivíduos pode melhorar o desempenho coletivo, facilitando a convergência para soluções boas; e que a diversidade de estratégias de resolução do problema não leva necessariamente a uma diversidade de soluções na população; e que, mesmo que o contexto social seja percebido da mesma forma pelos indivíduos, a forma com que eles reagem pode levar a diferentes resultados. Todos estes resultados suportam a ideia de que o contexto social deve ser considerado em experimentos com resolução social de problemas. Por fim, concluímos o trabalho discutindo o impactso do mesmo e apontando novos problemas a serem investigados.
Our inability to perceive and understand all the factors that account for real-world phenomena forces us to rely on clues when reasoning and making decisions about the world. Clues can be internal such as our psychological state and our motivations; or external, such as the resources available, the physical environment, the social environment, etc. The social environment, or social context, encompasses the set of relationships and cultural settings by which we interact and function in a society. Much of our thinking is influenced by the social environment and we constantly change the way we solve problems in response to our social environment. Nevertheless, this human trait has not been thoughtfully investigated by current computational models of human social problem-solving, for these models have lacked the heterogeneity and self-adaptive behavior observed in humans. In this work, we address this issue by investigating the impact of social context in social problem solving by means of extensive numerical simulations using a modified social model. We show evidences that social context plays a key role in how the system behaves and performs. More precisely, we show that the centrality of an agent in the network is an unreliable predictor the agent’s contribution when this agent can change its problem-solving strategy according to social context. Another finding is that social context information can be used to improve the convergence speed of the group to good solutions and that diversity in search strategies does not necessarily translates into diversity in solutions. We also determine that even if nodes perceive social context in same way, the way they react to it may lead to different outcomes along the search process. Together, these results contribute to the understanding that social context does indeed impact in social problem-solving. We conclude discussing the overall impact of this work and pointing future directions.

Abstract:
Information epidemiology or infodemiology is the study of infodemics - defined by the World Health Organization as an overabundance of information, some accurate and some not, that occurs during a pandemic or other significant event that may impact public health. Infodemic management is the practice of infodemiology and may sit within the risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) pillar of a public health response. However, it is relevant to all aspects of preparedness and response, including the development and evaluation of interventions. Social scientists have much to contribute to infodemic management as, while it must be data and evidence driven, it must also be built on a thorough understanding of affected communities in order to develop participatory approaches, reinforce local capacity and support local solutions.
