Stories about sex trafficking in Greece : A productive power play

Vrotsou, Christina January 2014 (has links)
The theme of this thesis regards power manifestations in sex trafficking in Greece, through the context of a particular women’s NGO situated in Athens, Greece. The stories that are analysed here are in one way or the other drawn from that NGO context, specifically: the story of the president of the NGO, the story of an activist in that NGO and the story of a woman who has been sex trafficked. What this thesis explores, under a poststructuralist road, influenced by a genealogical approach and inspired by Foucault’s notions of power, is how power can be productive in sex trafficking and the relevant anti-sex trafficking activism. Additionally, using intersectionality as an analytical tool, it explores which social markers are part of that productive play. Situated in crisis Greece, where several issues/problems are intensified, entangled, spread and spilled over in several areas, I find that there is relevance in research concerning how power, in the respective context, can work in productive ways. What is shown through the stories are several contradictions regarding conceptualizations of the role of the police, law, justice, and their relation with rights, religion, ethnicity, race, sex and gender. I treat these contradictions as key illustrators of the productive power play, visualized as a network that entangles different elements and draws its power through their relations. Productive power is seen through corrupt police officers; the accusation of the president of the NGO; through subjects of law, religion and debt; through gender performances; through prolific captivity and so on. What is shown is that the manifestations of power through these stories vary according to the context, but the productive element of power is their joint effect.

Struggles for recognition: The development of HIV/AIDS curricula in schools of social work in Taiwan

Chung, Dau-Chuan January 2009 (has links)
Doctor of Philosophy / There is a current debate in schools of social work in Taiwan about whether they should provide specific HIV/AIDS courses or integrate HIV/AIDS issues into the curriculum. However, an argument that draws on the understandings of curriculum development in social work has not emerged. This project not only explores why this is the case but also aims to resolve the debate. This research is based on two methodologies, the development of a genealogy and content analysis of data collected to build the genealogy. Foucaultian conceptualisation of using a genealogy to explain the relationship between power and knowledge has been utilised as a primary theoretical framework. The texts analysed included social work documents as well as social documents. The research objectives were an exploration of what discourses related to HIV/AIDS were constructed in broader Taiwanese society and within social work; and what forces and stakeholders outside and within social work formed HIV/AIDS curricula in social work in Taiwan. The first PLWHA case in Taiwan was reported in 1984, and four key discourses about HIV/AIDS were gradually constructed. They are individual pathological, programmatic, governmental, and socio-cultural discourses. The individual pathological discourse became dominant in Taiwan. Taiwanese social work did not consider HIV/AIDS as an issue until 1992, nearly ten years after it was recognised as a serious medical and social problem in the West. This genealogical research shows that, over time, four key discourses about HIV/AIDS were also represented in Taiwanese social work texts. The programmatic discourse emerged as more popular in social work documents. The genealogy also showed that four identified subgroups within social work in Taiwan were more able to express their views about HIV/AIDS issues. They were social work scholars, practitioners, students and translated social work documents. Reflecting dominant wider social prejudices the genealogy revealed that Taiwanese social work scholars were likely to adhere to the individual pathological discourse, the discourse that blamed those with HIV/AIDS for their own predicament. The other three groups were likely to express a programmatic discourse, which often reflected the changing governmental response over time. The genealogy also showed that influential forces outside social work included international responses on HIV/AIDS, the Taiwanese central governmental responses, social norms regarding sex, sexuality and homosexuality in Taiwan, and the status of social work in society. The key findings of this research lay in the revelation of the power of the four key discourses, the four visible subgroups within social work and the influential forces outside social work in Taiwan that emerged as dominant throughout the genealogical study. These forces formed and shaped the development of HIV/AIDS curricula in a complex way. What these findings provide is a pathway for the development of a responsive curriculum for the education of future social workers in Taiwan.

A History of the Genealogical Society of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints to 1970

Lofthouse, Merrill S. 01 January 1971 (has links) (PDF)
This thesis is a study of the growth and development of the various departments of the Genealogical Society and how they contributed to the function of the total organization. The following was considered with each department: (1) the date of organization, (2) purpose for which organized, (3) methods used to carry out responsibilities, (4) function and interaction with other departments of the organization.Activities of the Genealogical Society were evaluated on the basis of the following major roles: (1) as an agency for locating researchers, (2) agency to make records available to search, (3) a clearing house for records prior to their submission to temples and more recently, (4) as a supplier of names for temples.The First Presidency organized the Society to assist people in their responsibility to search after their own forefathers and each of the leaders since its organization has introduced programs in accordance with this purpose.

Preserving the Source: Early Microfilming Efforts of the Genealogical Society of Utah, 1938-1950

Mehr, Kahlile B. 01 January 1985 (has links) (PDF)
The Genealogical Society of Utah initiated a worldwide microfilming program at the advent of modern microfilm technology. It succeeded in negotiating for and filming records because of the religious commitment of its leaders and workers, the financial assistance of the LDS Church, the increased concern for records loss as demonstrated by World War II, the maturation of microfilm technology after the war, and the concentration of many religious records in civil archives. Religious commitment enthused the Society's leaders to persist in their efforts in spite of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. The resources of the Church permitted the filming to continue without regard to profit. The destruction of World War II made archival leaders more amenable to the Society's program as a means to preserve the information in their records from catastrophic loss. The development of microfilm technology made the production of a good image possible and affordable. With religious records in civil archives, the efforts of religious leaders to restrict access were more easily overcome than might have been the case.

Improving Relation Extraction from Unstructured Genealogical Texts Using Fine-Tuned Transformers

Parrolivelli, Carloangello 01 June 2022 (has links) (PDF)
Though exploring one’s family lineage through genealogical family trees can be insightful to developing one’s identity, this knowledge is typically held behind closed doors by private companies or require expensive technologies, such as DNA testing, to uncover. With the ever-booming explosion of data on the world wide web, many unstructured text documents, both old and new, are being discovered, written, and processed which contain rich genealogical information. With access to this immense amount of data, however, entails a costly process whereby people, typically volunteers, have to read large amounts of text to find relationships between people. This delays having genealogical information be open and accessible to all. This thesis explores state-of-the-art methods for relation extraction across the genealogical and biomedical domains and bridges new and old research by proposing an updated three-tier system for parsing unstructured documents. This system makes use of recently developed and massively pretrained transformers and fine-tuning techniques to take advantage of these deep neural models’ inherent understanding of English syntax and semantics for classification. With only a fraction of labeled data typically needed to train large models, fine-tuning a LUKE relation classification model with minimal added features can identify genealogical relationships with macro precision, recall, and F1 scores of 0.880, 0.867, and 0.871, respectively, in data sets with scarce (∼10%) positive relations. Further- more, with the advent of a modern coreference resolution system utilizing SpanBERT embeddings and a modern named entity parser, our end-to-end pipeline can extract and correctly classify relationships within unstructured documents with macro precision, recall, and F1 scores of 0.794, 0.616, and 0.676, respectively. This thesis also evaluates individual components of the system and discusses future improvements to be made.

A refined sampling procedure for genealogical control

Bickel, Balthasar 02 May 2024 (has links)
Typological distributions are the combined result of universal structural principles, areal diffusion, and shared descent. The core concern of quantitative typology is to disentangle and to identify these various factors.While areal and structural factors can be tested against each other in standard multivariate designs based on sample stratification, genealogical factors cannot be handled by sample stratification since about one third of all proven families (the strata needed) are isolates, i.e. count only one member. In response, typologists have since long sought to control for genealogical relations during sampling rather than during statistical testing. But available methods suffer from a number of drawbacks. Most importantly, they are not sensitive to the fact that different typological variable have different degrees of stability (genealogical dependence) within families, and that this again varies from family to family.This article proposes a refined method for genealogical control during sampling, which is based on DRYER’s (1989) proposals but is sensitive to actual distributions within genealogical units at each taxonomic level.

A feminizaÃÃo do magistÃrio na educaÃÃo a distÃncia em perspectiva comparada: entre a professora tutora e a professora do passado / The feminization of teaching in distance education in a comparative perspective between the female distance tutor and the female teacher of the past

Ana ClÃudia UchÃa AraÃjo 08 July 2015 (has links)
nÃo hà / O estudo analisa o fenÃmeno da feminizaÃÃo do magistÃrio na educaÃÃo a distÃncia em perspectiva comparada: entre a professora tutora e a professora do passado. Buscou-se elucidar o papel da professora tutora, na EducaÃÃo a distÃncia no perÃodo de 2007 a 2012, com o intuito de estabelecer e compreender suas relaÃÃes com a feminizaÃÃo da docÃncia, fazendo um nexo com o momento deflagrador deste fenÃmeno, na dÃcada de 1920, e com a precarizaÃÃo da profissÃo docente no Brasil, tendo o Cearà como lÃcus de observaÃÃo e os cursos de licenciatura ofertados no Programa Universidade Aberta do Brasil - UAB do estado do CearÃ, no perÃodo acima citado, momento em que os cursos de graduaÃÃo semipresenciais se intensificam em nosso estado, em comparaÃÃo com o papel exercido pelas mulheres no magistÃrio, na dÃcada de 1920. O referencial teÃrico ancora-se em estudiosos que tratam da mulher no trabalho e no campo da docÃncia, como Almeida (1998), Campos (2002); da mulher na histÃria, na famÃlia e na sociedade, como Perrot (2005), Dâincao (2011); da histÃria e histÃria da educaÃÃo, como Braudel (2002), Cavalcante (1998), Holanda (2000), Dallabrida (2009); da educaÃÃo comparada, como Bereday (1972), NÃvoa (2009), Cavalcante et al. (2011, 2012, 2013, 2014); da mulher e a relaÃÃo com a psicologia, como Holanda (2012), Chodorow (2002); a respeito da EaD, da tutoria e da prÃtica pedagÃgica na EaD, como Litto (2009), Bruno e Lemgruber (2009). Quanto aos procedimentos metodolÃgicos, a pesquisa à qualitativa, com abordagem GenealÃgica, baseada em Foucault (1982, 2003, 2007), posto que se ocupa em estudar a correlaÃÃo entre discursos e prÃticas sociais e a explicitaÃÃo do poder neles presentes, sem a preocupaÃÃo de alinhar os acontecimentos. AlÃm disso, faz-se uso de HistÃria Oral (ALBERTI, 2004; DELGADO, 2010), para trabalhar com o mosaico das experimentaÃÃes e interpretaÃÃes humanas em face de um acontecimento, com vistas ao maior enquadramento deste Ãltimo, por compreender que o vivido e o sentido pelo outro tÃm um importante valor, na medida em que confere significado ao visto e ao testemunhado. AlÃm da anÃlise bibliogrÃfica e documental, houve a recolha de evidÃncias empÃricas junto ao corpo docente, atravÃs de entrevistas semiestruturadas, bem como do estudo de ferramentas que monitoram a frequÃncia e a participaÃÃo no ambiente virtual de aprendizagem. O grupo de sujeitos entrevistados à formado por 12 (doze) professoras tutoras atuantes nas disciplinas pedagÃgicas da Licenciatura em MatemÃtica ofertada pela UAB, nas instituiÃÃes informadas. Os achados desta pesquisa, portanto, confirmam parcialmente a hipÃtese de partida: a feminizaÃÃo da docÃncia, caracterizada pela inserÃÃo e participaÃÃo das mulheres na docÃncia na EaD, nas instituiÃÃes investigadas, por meio da tutoria a distÃncia, traz impactos em sua vida familiar e profissional, porÃm nÃo se apresenta como uma causa direta do aprofundamento do processo de precarizaÃÃo da docÃncia para o gÃnero feminino, uma vez que mulheres e homens sÃo atingidos por esta precarizaÃÃo, em funÃÃo da docÃncia ser uma profissÃo destinada ao cuidado das massas, o que nÃo se constitui como foco prioritÃrio para o Estado patriarcal. PorÃm, no contexto da precarizaÃÃo, a mulher tende a ser a mais atingida, em virtude de toda a carga de atribuiÃÃes sociais e culturais que a ela sÃo delegadas, travestidas num senso de autocobranÃa e responsabilidade, porÃm sem direito pleno à salvaguarda das conquistas trabalhistas.
