Texto completo da fonteSwedes spend annually tens of million crowns on gym memberships that are never used. My hypothesis is that it’s about motivation with a demarcation within the welcome and care for how beginners gets treated in the gyms by other members. A survey was conducted through interviews with both members, employees and managers from two gym chains, Friskis och Svettis and Fitness 24 Seven in Malmo, Sweden. A complementary to the survey came through a survey of the gym chains facilities to see how the advertising and other information was perceived by the members. A competitive analysis of similar mobile applications was also conducted. The analysis of the material resulted in specific core values including some additional facts which became my silver thread. Core values such as Community, Social affinity and Fellowship became words that characterized my interviews from the survey and later becoming the foundation for the design project. Based on this information, I designed a mobile application called Socify whose purpose is to solve the social problems that many beginners feel while linking it with the practical and theoretical knowledge gaps that beginners usually possess.

Texto completo da fonteVisibilizando la vida cotidiana de la gente, Twitter se ha convertido en una de las plataformas de intercambio de información más importantes y ha atraído rápidamente la atención de los científicos. Investigadores de todo el mundo se han centrado en las ciencias sociales y en los estudios de Internet con datos de Twitter como muestra del mundo real, y en la última década se han diseñado numerosas herramientas de análisis y algoritmos. La presente tesis doctoral consta de tres investigaciones, en primer lugar, dados los 14 años (hasta 2020) de historia desde la fundación de Twitter, hemos asistido a una explosión de publicaciones científicas relacionadas, pero el panorama actual de la investigación en esta plataforma de medios sociales seguía siendo desconocido. Para llenar este vacío de investigación, hicimos un análisis bibliométrico de los estudios relacionados con Twitter para analizar cómo evolucionaron los estudios de Twitter a lo largo del tiempo, y para proporcionar una descripción general del entorno académico de investigación de Twitter desde un nivel macro. En segundo lugar, dado que hay muchas herramientas de software analítico que están disponibles actualmente para la investigación en Twitter, una pregunta práctica para los investigadores junior es cómo elegir el software más apropiado para su propio proyecto de investigación. Para resolver este problema, hicimos una revisión del software para algunos de los sistemas integrados que se consideran más relevantes para la investigación en ciencias sociales. Dado que los investigadores junior en ciencias sociales pueden enfrentarse a posibles limitaciones financieras, redujimos nuestro alcance para centrarnos únicamente en el software gratuito y de bajo coste. En tercer lugar, dada la actual crisis de salud pública, hemos observado que los medios de comunicación social son una de las fuentes de información y noticias más accesibles para el público. Durante una pandemia, la forma en que se enmarcan los problemas de salud y las enfermedades en la prensa influye en la comprensión del público sobre el actual brote epidémico y sus actitudes y comportamientos. Por lo tanto, decidimos usar Twitter como una fuente de noticias de fácil acceso para analizar la evolución de los marcos de noticias españoles durante la pandemia COVID-19. En general, las tres investigaciones se han asociado estrechamente con la aplicación de métodos computacionales, incluyendo la recolección de datos en línea, la minería de textos, el análisis de redes y la visualización de datos. Este proyecto de doctorado ha mostrado cómo la gente estudia y utiliza Twitter desde tres niveles diferentes: el nivel académico, el nivel práctico y el nivel empírico.
As Twitter has covered up people’s daily life, it has became one of the most important information exchange platforms, and quickly attracted scientists’ attention. Researchers around the world have highly focused on social science and internet studies with Twitter data as a real world sample, and numerous analytics tools and algorithms have been designed in the last decade. The present doctoral thesis consists of three researches, first, given the 14 years (until 2020) of history since the foundation of Twitter, an explosion of related scientific publications have been witnessed, but the current research landscape on this social media platform remained unknown, to fill this research gap, we did a bibliometric analysis on Twitter-related studies to analyze how the Twitter studies evolved over time, and to provide a general description of the Twitter research academic environment from a macro level. Second, since there are many analytic software tools that are currently available for Twitter research, a practical question for junior researchers is how to choose the most appropriate software for their own research project, to solve this problem, we did a software review for some of the integrated frameworks that are considered most relevant for social science research, given that junior social science researchers may face possible financial constraints, we narrowed our scope to solely focus on the free and low-cost software. Third, given the current public health crisis, we have noticed that social media are one of the most accessed information and news sources for the public. During a pandemic, how health issues and diseases are framed in the news release impacts public’s understanding of the current epidemic outbreak and their attitudes and behaviors. Hence, we decided to use Twitter as an easy-access news source to analyze the evolution of the Spanish news frames during the COVID-19 pandemic. Overall, the three researches have closely associated with the application of computational methods, including online data collection, text mining, complex network and data visualization. And this doctoral project has discovered how people study and use Twitter from three different levels: the academic level, the practical level and the empirical level.

Texto completo da fonteMixed methods studies in social inquiry may follow two main perspectives on integration: on the one hand, complementarity seeks an information enrichment, a fuller and more comprehensive picture on a social phenomenon; on the other hand, convergence focuses on the chance of overcoming single methods’ bias through mixing. While the first approach results rather unproblematic – both theoretically and empirically – convergence seems to pose additional challenges, especially in the elicitation of “meta-inferences”. This dissertation presents a methodological research synthesis of mixed methods studies in social inquiry. Research questions are related to understandings, implementation and epistemological legitimization of integration within the academic community of scholars applying mixed methods in social sciences. Diverse research strategies were implemented, in order to answer to research objectives: automated content analysis was performed on articles published in academic journals; citation network analysis was applied on references lists of the same papers; semi-structured interviews with experts and the related thematic analysis were helpful to address scholars’ points of view on integration, as well as a modality to explore paradigms and epistemological issues.

Texto completo da fonteThe Explanation Hypothesis is a psychological hypothesis about how people attribute moral responsibility. The hypothesis makes general claims about everyday thinking of moral responsibility and is also said to have important consequences for related philosophical issues. Since arguments in favor of the hypothesis are largely based on a number of intuitive cases, there is need to investigate whether it is supported by empirical evidence. In this study, the hypothesis was tested by means of quantitative experimental methods. The data were collected by conducting online surveys in which participants were introduced to a number of different scenarios. For each scenario, questions about moral responsibility were asked. Results provide general support for the Explanation Hypothesis and there are therefore more reasons to take its proposed consequences seriously.

Texto completo da fonteWith a constant growth of competition between companies the personal relation to the customer becomes more and more important. The function of the product is no longer at the center of attention as it has been replaced by the idea of the product.The customers seek a higher value in the product and the companies must strive to satisfy and touch the emotions of the customers to appear attractive. That is why today there is a lot of talk about emotional marketing.This work is focusing on how to gain understanding about how emotions are steered and directed by advertisements and how a ethical standpoint affects the customer. For my help I have used theory studies, an original design for an imaginary spring collection campaign and last but not least a survey to gain a real perspective of how a conceivable target group thinks and reacts to advertisements in different forms.By speaking a comprehendable language that attracts and at the same time differentiates the company from its competitors, valuable emotional connections can be created in order to produce a personal relation to the customer. An ethical standpoint can be valuable in order to show a higher cause than simply money-making. By doing so the company can appear as more human and thereby get a closer relation to the customer.

Texto completo da fonteAuthorities like Försäkringskassan have lately been discussed in the Swedish media. A negative picture has been painted about the personal administrative officers’ in media. Meanwhile there is awareness among the personal administrative officers about the importance of focusing on the individual. The study aimed to examine the tools and methods used by the personal administrative officers at Försäkringskassan working with vocational rehabilitation from an empowerment perspective. Our study is a qualitative study, build on interviews with nine personal administrative officers ‘who work with sickness compensation cases at the unit depth-investigation. Our paper shows that the personal administrative officers’ focus on the individual in the rehabilitation, factors like information, how the individual is treated by the personal administrative officers, motivation and participation are central in the work with the individual. The paper also shows that there is a variation in the personal administrative officers’ way of using the law in order to help the individual. Empowerment as a way of working was up to each personal administrative officer to use. Despite this, we could see the features of empowerment among most personal administrative officers.

Texto completo da fonteThis study is the result of the researcher’s 25-year tenure in public education. That tenure developed a passion for disrupting racism and modeling social justice pedagogies to dismantle the barriers to educational equity in classrooms. The researcher wants to enact a vision of denouncing oppressive structures for students by positioning teachers to play a critical role in transforming society. The researcher contextualizes multicultural education, critical race theory, and social justice education to develop an overview of anti-bias teaching. Moreover, the researcher suggests the theoretical frames from multicultural education, critical race theory, and social justice education represent the underpinnings of anti-bias education.
Prejudice, bias, and stereotypes continue to exist in schools. For this reason, multicultural education and social justice education equip teachers with the strategies to recognize prejudice, bias, and stereotypes that create barriers to equitable education. This study will add to the growing field of educational research for equity-oriented teaching practices so school systems have the tools to dismantle inequities. The researcher’s study focuses on equity-centered approach through anti-bias teaching patterns of the 2016 Teaching Tolerance award-winning teachers.
What are the best practices and skills necessary for an anti-bias classroom setting? A study of the identified anti-bias 2016 award-winning educators from Teaching Tolerance program are the subjects of this research. The researcher’s goal is to identify patterns of teaching, and then compare these practices to Marilyn Cochran-Smith’s Six Principles of Social Justice. The outcome of the research will add to the growing educational equity work and provide teachers support needed to act in their classrooms for anti-bias education. Educators can transform and provide equitable teaching and learning for all students.
The design of the work is the case study. The researcher chose case study research because it allows the researcher to ask how and why questions. For the investigation, the case study method is the best fit for data collection and analysis. Moreover, case study design allows for description and narration in the research. This format will allow the reader to immerse him/herself in the lives of the teachers so they gain a better understanding of anti-bias educators.

De olika användningsområdena introducerar olika svårigheter att på ett korrekt och konsekvent sätt uppfylla de krav som ställs. Denna rapport avser utforska och bedöma två tillvägagångssätt, ett i form av maskininlärning samt en metod som jämför orden i en text med ordvikter från ett fördefinierat lexikon. Utöver detta analyseras emoji-borttagning som ett möjligt förbättringssätt till båda tillvägagångssätten. Metoderna är testade på data taget från Twitter i syfte att analysera prestandan när data från sociala medier används. Resultaten indikerar att den lexikon-baserade metoden presterar bättre, och att borttagning av emojis ökar korrektheten av klassificeringen.

Texto completo da fonteHypertension is a serious medical condition. Although men and women of all racial groups in the US suffer from high blood pressure, black women have the highest rates of hypertension. For instance, the age-adjusted prevalence of hypertension among black women ages 20 and over is 44.3, compared to 28.1 among white women, 40.5 among black men, and 31.1 among white men.
Past research has focused on SES and behavioral factors as potential explanations for blood pressure disparities between black and white women. But, even after controlling for such factors, considerable disparities remain. The goal of this research is to examine cultural and social factors that have been shown to increase blood pressure. Specifically, I examine social support, psychosocial characteristics, and contextual factors associated with race/ethnicity and hypertension, in hopes of explaining some of the disparities in high blood pressure between black and white women.
Using data from Waves I, III, and IV of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health), I estimated a sequence of multinomial logistic regression models predicting prehypertension and hypertension in young adulthood. Cross-sectional models show that racial disparities in hypertension remain after controlling for social support, psychosocial characteristics, and contextual factors. In fact, the only covariate that substantially reduced the racial disparity in hypertension was body mass index (BMI), a fairly reliable measure of body fatness for most people. I also estimated a set of multinomial logistic regression models predicting odds of prehypertension and hypertension by adolescent and cumulative social support, as well as psychosocial, contextual, and behavioral factors. These models were included to determine if early life and/or cumulative factors and conditions would help explain racial blood pressure disparities not explained by adulthood factors. Findings show that none of the early life or cumulative social support, psychosocial, contextual, or behavioral factors helped to explain racial differences in prehypertension or hypertension. Even after controlling for these factors, black women are still 1.18 times more likely than white women to have prehypertension and over two times more likely to suffer hypertension.
Indeed, my findings indicate that, of the factors included in all these models, only race, age, and BMI were significant predictors of blood pressure. Also, BMI was the only factor to explain some of the disparities between black and white women. These results are similar to other studies that have examined racial health disparities, suggesting that simply being a black woman in US society may be unhealthy. The health effects of racism, discrimination, and other sources of stress faced disproportionately by black women are not easily measured by social science research, which is possibly why racial disparities in blood pressure have yet to be explained. Future research should also explore possible epigenetic effects introduced by the health conditions experienced by previous generations, as well as the influence of prenatal and early life environments.

Texto completo da fonteEn viktig egenskap hos en social robot är förmågan att förstå naturligt språk. I ett typiskt system för automatisk språkförståelse är en av huvudkomponenterna så kallad avsiktsklassificering som går ut på att klassificera användaryttranden utifrån avsikten bakom det. Den forskning som tidigare gjorts inom ämnet har sällan behandlat dialoger av social natur där dialoger kan vara långa men med många korta yttranden där kontexten är helt avgörande för att avsikten ska förstås. Olika metoder har också framförallt utvärderats under antagandet att alla testyttranden tillhör någon av de givna klasserna, vilket inte är realistiskt för en faktisk tillämpning där användarna inte kan förväntas veta systemets begränsningar. I det här arbetet utvärderas ett antal metoder för avsiktsklassificering utifrån två aspekter: hur bra de presterar på klassificering av yttranden som tillhör någon av de givna klasserna, samt hur bra de är på att känna igen yttranden som inte gör det. Detta görs på tre olika dataset; två existerande dataset för avsiktsklassificering och ett som samlats in som en del av det här arbetet och som är mer typiskt för just social robotik. De specifika metoder som utvärderas är stödvektormaskin (SVM), logistisk regression, avsiktsklassificeraren i dialogplattformen Snips, samt den neurala språkmodellen BERT. För att representera yttranden som vektorer för SVM och logistisk regression används dels en räknebaserad representationsteknik (så kallad ”bag-of-words”, BoW) med och utan tf-idf-viktning, dels förtränade GloVe-ordinbäddningar. Utifrån de erhållna resultaten dras tre huvudsakliga slutsatser: att enklare metoder oftast är att föredra framför mer avancerade, att det behövs mer forskning på avsiktsklassificering där vi förväntar oss att vissa yttranden inte hör till någon av klasserna, samt att det behövs fler dataset som är representativa för olika typer av tillämpningar. BERT presterar överlag bäst utifrån båda aspekterna, men övertaget i förhållande till SVM och logistisk regression är litet. Dessutom presterar oftast BoW lika bra som förtränade ordinbäddningar och enkla klassificerare bättre än Snips. Den forskning som tidigare gjorts utifrån den andra aspekten är väldigt begränsad och resultaten som presenteras här ger inga entydiga svar på vilka metoder som är att föredra eller vilken prestanda som kan förväntas. Det är också stora skillnader i hur väl de olika metoderna presterar på olika dataset, vilket gör det tydligt att det behövs fler, mer varierade dataset för att kunna dra slutsatser kring hur väl de kan förväntas prestera inom en specifik tillämpning.

Texto completo da fonteThe aim with this systematic literature review is to investigate the intervention methods and/or models available to deal with siblings for serious criminal youths. The study also aims to compare the methods pros and cons. The results are produced by using the databases Libsearch and ProQuest. Chosen literature has been read and analysed several times, and two themes was selected to describe the articles focus and connection to the study’s aim and research questions. The chosen themes are 1) intervention methods, and 2) advantages with MST. Despite a small amount of research in the field, the result indicates that the family therapy method Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is a dominant method in the field. Except only focusing on the criminal individual in MST, the sibling is involved and directly or indirectly affected.
