Deaux and Lewis (1984) have proposed that stereotypes be viewed as linked components, each encompassing specific content domains (such as beliefs about appearance, preferences, occupations and traits). Each component has a masculine and a feminine version. Adults are able to use the stereotyped associative links between items in the same component and those between items in different components to make judgments about individuals' behaviors and characteristics based on minimal information. The present study examined the acquisition of these associative connections in the gender stereotypes of 6 to 10 year olds. Seventy-six children (38 boys, 38 girls), aged 6, 8 and 10 years, were asked to make a number of judgments about an individual's clothing, occupational aspirations, toy preferences, and personality traits based on a single piece of cue information (a masculine or feminine item from a component). The types of associative links that children could use in making of interpersonal judgments changed with age. The 6-year-old children were able to make stereotyped judgments about both masculine and feminine items within the same component but were only able to make between-component stereotyped judgments when items of their own-sex typing (i.e. masculine items for boys, feminine items for girls) were presented as cues. The older children were be able to make within- and between-component stereotypic judgments about both masculine and feminine items. The results supported the propositions of schematic-processing theory (Martin & Halverson, 1981) and demonstrated the value of the Deaux and Lewis (1984) component-link model as a heuristic for the study of complex cognitive structures. / Education, Faculty of / Educational and Counselling Psychology, and Special Education (ECPS), Department of / Graduate

Syftet med uppsatsen är att belysa möjligheter och begränsningar med olika tekniska system för att identifiera kontakter på stridsfältet, främst med avseende på att minska risken för vådabekämpningar. Uppsatsen skall också belysa om införande av tekniska system för identifiering av kontakter är den enskilt bästa metoden för att undvika vådabekämpningar. Syftet är att läsaren skall uppnå en förståelse för vad olika typer av system för identifiering kan bidra med för att minska risken för vådabekämpningar. Utöver detta belyses andra nackdelar och fördelar med de olika tekniska systemen förutom just inom området identifiering. Uppsatsen beskriver olika händelser där vådabekämpningar skett och kopplar dessa mot hur olika tekniska system eventuellt hade kunnat minska risken för att vådabekämpningen skulle ha skett. Uppsatsen beskriver också ett antal olika tekniska system för identifiering av kontakter på stridsfältet. / The purpose of this essay is to shed light on possibilities and limitations regarding different systems for identification of contacts on the battlefield, mainly for the purpose of reducing fratricide. The essay will also shed light on if the introduction of systems for identification on the battlefield is the best one single method that will reduce fratricide. The purpose is that the reader will achieve an understanding of how different systems for target identification will reduce the risk for fratricide. In addition the possibilities and limitations of other systems in the field of combat identification will also be addressed. The essay describes different events where fratricide has occurred and connects these events with the possibilities and limitations of the identification systems described and how these systems could have reduced the risk for fratricide. The essay also describes different systems for target identification and combat identification.

This thesis investigates a newly developed term coined by the author called generalized identification, which is the tendency that people who identify high with one group tend to identify high with other groups as well, and how personality variables from the Five-Factor model may relate to this tendency. A common component of identification towards 10 preselected groups was calculated (N = 148), with a principal component analysis. The result reveal that the generalized identification account for 41 % of the total variance. A stepwise multiple regression analysis further showed that Openness to Experience and Agreeableness from the Five-Factor model explained 26 % of the variance in the generalized identification. However, due to low reliability when measuring personality traits, the relationship between personality and generalized identification could not be interpreted in a satisfying way, and it needs to be further explored before drawing firm conclusions.

Designing high performance control of rotorcraft unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) requires a mathematical model that describes the dynamics of the vehicle. The model is derived from first principle modelling, such as rigid-body dynamics, actuator dynamics and etc. It is found that simplified decoupled model of RUAV has slightly better data fitting compared with the complex model for helicopter attitude dynamics in hover or near hover flight condition. In addition, the simplified modelling approach has made the analysis of system dynamics easy. System identification method is applied to identify the unknown intrinsic parameters in the nominal model, where manual piloted flight experiment is carried out and input-output data about a nominal operating region is recorded for parameters identification process. Integral-based parameter identification algorithm is then used to identify model parameters that give the best matching between the simulation and measured output response. The results obtained show that the dominant dynamics is captured. The advantages of using integral-based method include the fast computation time, insensitive to initial parameter value and fast convergence rate in comparison with other contemporary system identification methods such as prediction error method (PEM), maximum likelihood method, equation error method and output error method. Besides, the integral-based parameter identification method can be readily extended to tackle slow time-varying model parameters and fast varying disturbances. The model prediction is found to be improved significantly when the iterative integral-based parameter identification is employed and thus further validates the minimal modelling approach. From the literature review, many control schemes have been designed and validated in simulation. However, few of them has really been implemented in real flight as well as under windy and severe conditions, where unpredictable large system parameters variations and unexpected disturbances are present. Therefore, the emphasis on this part will be on the control design that would have satisfactory reference sequence tracking or regulation capability in the presence of unmodelled dynamics and external disturbances. Generalised Predictive Controller (GPC) is particularly considered as the helicopter attitude dynamics control due to its insensitivity with respect to model mismatch and its capability to address the control problem of nominal model with deadtime. The robustness analysis shows that the robustness of the basic GPC is significantly improved using the Smith Predictor (SP) in place of optimal predictor in basic GPC. The effectiveness of the proposed robust GPC was well proven with the control of helicopter heading on the test rig in terms of the reference sequence tracking performance and the input disturbance rejection capability. The second motivation is the investigation of adaptive GPC from the perspective of performance improvements for the robust GPC. The promising experimental results prove the feasibility of the adaptive GPC controller, and especially evident when the underlying robust GPC is tuned with low robustness and legitimates the use of simplified model. Another approach of robust model predictive control is considered where disturbance is identified in real‐time using an iterative integral‐based method.

Beetles of the genus Mordellistena Costa are submitted to a morphometric analysis as a more feasible method of identification and as a foundation for the construction of a phylogeny. In the past, species groups were based on questionable morphological characters and a morphological analysis is an attempt, through numerical methods, to eliminate such doubts. Thirty external characters were chosen for measurement in a preliminary statistical analysis of four well defined species groups. These results were submitted to a discriminant analysis which reduced the number of significant characters to 14. Over 500 specimens were then measured for these characters and the results were then submitted to a cluster analysis. The results of the analysis illuminated several relationships among the genus. The analysis found 14 major groups (five or more members), 25 minor groups (4 or fewer members), and 102 odd specimens not assigned to any group. The major groups, two of the minor groups, and the 102 odd specimens are discussed in detail. The accomplishments of the study included an expansion of the list of species of Mordellistena for Arizona, the discovery of several previously undescribed species, a more confident method of identification, and the foundation of a phylogeny for the genus. Shortcomings of the study were the failure to construct species specific groups and failure to group 102 specimens. Both successes and failures of the study are discussed in detail and explanations are offered. The major successes of the study were the formation of a basis for a complete revision of the genus Mordellistena and the foundation of a phylogeny for the group.

<p>In 2017, Shea Moisture, a company that created natural hair products targeted primarily toward Black women, released an online video in which ostensibly white and multiracial women discussed the struggles they encountered in accepting their natural hair. This video led to a public relations crisis for the organization as a result of its perceived exclusion of the organization’s core public--Black women with 4C hair, who arguably experience the highest levels of discrimination on account of their natural hair. This study explored the role of identity and identification in this crisis by conducting a qualitative content analysis of identification types in Black men and women’s online responses to the video. Emotions present in the online posts were used as rhetorical indicators of deidentification, ambivalent identification, identification or disidentification. The findings of this study, contextualized within the socio-political context of the crisis, suggest that responses to Shea Moisture’s video were informed by : its public’s identification with one another, their construal and co-construction of the organization’s identity as a Black business, and their identification with the organization on the basis of this identity. This study reinforces the role played by publics in co-constructing an organization’s identity and reveals the importance of sociopolitical realities and uneven power relations to publics’ identification. This study also introduces the concept of “protected identification” to describe a mode of identification that informed by a socio-political context wherein marginalization exists, comes with a unique set of expectations for the actions of an organization. </p>

La violence conjugale est une problématique préoccupante dans les temps modernes ; l’enfant exposé à cette violence, entre ses parents, trouve des difficultés importantes dans la construction d’un lien d’attachement avec ceux-ci. Le concept d’attachement n’est pas défini par la psychanalyse, il s’invite comme concept articulateur, notamment en ce qui concerne le débat sur le surgissement de la théorie de l’attachement. C’est à l’appui d’un modèle théorico-clinique transversal croisant la théorie de l’attachement et la psychanalyse que cette recherche tente de déterminer dans quelle mesure la violence conjugale altère la qualité du lien d’attachement de l’enfant exposé. La sécurité du lien permet à l’enfant d’explorer l’environnement et de consolider ses représentations, sauf dans le cas d’exposition à la violence conjugale où l’insécurité plane sur le lien de l’enfant avec ces figures d’attachement. Quand le père bat la mère, l’enfant y exposé perçoit une attaque du lien, et la sécurité du lien de l’enfant avec son parent dépend de la sécurité du lien entre les parents. L’exposition à violence conjugale affecte la qualité du lien de l’enfant avec son parent, l’insécurité de l’attachement semble être traumatisante et génère des conflits identificatoires. La violence conjugale altère les capacités représentatives de l’enfant, les figures d’attachement le sidèrent dans un contexte de froideur relationnelle, ils offrent de la haine au lieu de l’amour, de l’insécurité au lieu de la confiance. / The domestic violence is a worrisome problem in modern times; the child exposed to this violence, between his parents, finds important difficulties in the construction of a link of attachment with these. The concept of attachment is not defined by the psychoanalysis, it invites himself as articulator concept, in particular as regards the debate on the appearance of the theory of the attachment. This is in support of a cross-theoretical clinical model crossing the attachment theory and psychoanalysis that this research attempts to determine the extent to which domestic violence alters the quality of the attachment link of the exposed child.Safety of the link allows the child to explore the environment and to strengthen its representations, except in the case of exposure to domestic violence where insecurity hovers over the link between the child and the attachment figures. When the father beats the mother, the child y exposed perceives an attack of the link, and the safety link between the child and his parents depends on the safety of the link between the parents.Exposure to domestic violence affects the quality of the link between the child and his parents, the insecurity of the attachment seems to be traumatic and generates identifying conflicts. Domestic violence distorts the representative capacities of the child, the attachment figures bewilder him in a context of relational coolness, they offer hatred instead of love, insecurity rather than confidence.

Notre question de recherche part de l'une des dernières élaborations théoriques de J. Lacan, les formules de la sexuation élaborées pour rendre raison des choix de jouissance des parlêtres. On se demande si les formules de la sexuation peuvent aussi nous éclairer sur la question de l’identification, sur le choix du symptôme, sur le choix d’objet et sur le choix de l’orientation sexuelle, pour interroger les diverses façons des liens entre les parlêtres, liens du couple, couple mère-enfant, mère-fille, homme-femme, ou liens du groupe.On parte de la théorie des pulsions que Lacan developpe à partir de celle de Freud. Lacan soutient depuis toujours la thèse que l’objet ne serait l’objet de la connaissance, chose qu’impliquerait la connaissance par le moi, parce que le sujet de l’inconscient depuis Freud n’est pas le sujet aristotélique, et donc le monde n’est pas conforme ou complaisant à le pensée (Télévision). Le rapport entre S1 et S2, fait surgir le $ que dans sa division perte quelque chose, c’est à dire a. On rappelle le schéma qui montre l’intersection entre Être et Autre qui cause la perte de a. À partir de cette division « a » n’appartient pas ni à l’être ni à l'Autre (S XI). La théorie des quatre discours, est encore une théorisation qui tente d'expliquer la relation entre sujet et objet, ou entre le sujet et la pulsion, qui fait le tour pour attraper l’objet et ainsi le manque. On peut penser la question du sexe étant liée à la question de l’objet a, soit pour le choix du sexe, soit pour le choix du partenaire sexuel. Si on pense à la question du choix du sexe et du choix du partenaire sexuel par rapport à la théorie des quatre discours, nous faisons l’hypothèse que pas tous les sujets arrivent au choix du sexe, en s‘arrêtant parfois au choix du semblant que permet aussi bien de choisir un partenaire. Soit dans la théorie des discours, représentés graphiquement par quatre algorithmes, soit dans le schéma des formules de sexuation, les flèches représentent le mouvement du sujet vers l'Autre ou vers la jouissance. C’est la question que nous avons posée au début et que nous voulons développer au cours de notre recherche : comment le sujet atteint l’objet de sa jouissance, objet qui lui vient de l'Autre. / Our research question starts from one of Lacan's latest theoretical elaborations, the formulas of sexuation elaborated to explain the choice of enjoyment of speaking beings.We ask ourselves whether the formulas of sexuation that Lacan develops after the theory of the discourses and simultaneously to the Borromean knot topology can clarify questions concerning the identification, the choice of sex and sexual orientation. At the same time if they can help us understand the different ways of relationship between speaking beings, differents pair bonds, man-woman, mother-child, mother-daughter or group bonds. We start from the theory of drives that Lacan develops from that of Freud. The dualism of Freud's theory of drives reflects that between subject and object. Lacan has always supported the thesis that the object is not the object of knowledge which implies the ego, because the subject of the unconscious since Freud is not the Aristotelian subject, that’s why the world is not complaisant to thought. Between S1 and S2, raises $ that in this division loose something namely the object a. We recall the schema that shows the intersection between Being and Other that cause the loss of a which, from this division, doesn‘t belong neither to Being nor the Other. The theory of the four discourses is still a theory that attempts to explain the relation between subject and object, or between the subject and the drive that goes around to catch the object in a way that always misses it. We could think the question of sex being linked to the question of the object a, either for the choice of sex or for the choice of the sexual partner. If we consider the question of choice of sex and the choice of the sexual partner related to the theory of the four discourses, we make the hypothesis that not all subjects arrive at the choice of sex, sometimes stopping at the choice of semblance that allows as well to the choice of a partner. Either in the theory of discourses, represented graphically by four algorithms, or in the schema of the formulas of sexuation, the arrows represent the movement of the subject towards the Other or towards the enjoyment. That is the question we posed at the beginning that we want to develop in our research: how the subject reaches the object of his enjoyment, an object that comes to him from the Other.

Les pôles de compétitivité sont des institutions publiques dont la mission est de favoriser les synergies entre des acteurs hétérogènes. Ils sont régulièrement soumis à des évaluations dont l’objet est la mesure de leur efficacité. Si les pôles ont la capacité de faire émerger des projets collaboratifs innovants, les pouvoirs publics ont toutefois souligné leurs difficultés à transformer ces efforts collaboratifs en création d’emplois et en croissance sur le territoire. La très grande majorité des entreprises membres sont des PME ; il est reconnu que le dirigeant de PME constitue une figure centrale de son entreprise. Dès lors nous nous demandons comment améliorer l’accompagnement de ces dirigeants afin de faire des projets collaboratifs des générateurs d’emplois et de croissance sur le territoire. Dans la littérature en entrepreneuriat, il est établi que les dirigeants de PME en capacité d'identifier des opportunités puis de les exploiter vont insuffler une dynamique de croissance à leur entreprise. En effet, l'organisation, au travers de son infrastructure cognitive, offre les conditions nécessaires à ses membres pour une meilleure perception des opportunités. En retour, la poursuite de l'opportunité identifiée bénéficiera à la structure qui pourra se développer et donc contribuer à générer de la croissance et de l'emploi. Au regard de ces premiers éléments nous établissons un premier modèle conceptuel qui vise à déceler les antécédents de l’identification d’opportunités d’affaires ; il est testé à partir de 205 questionnaires de dirigeants de PME membres des pôles de compétitivité, à l’aide de la méthode des équations structurelles. L’étude exploratoire menée auprès de huit institutionnels contribuant au fonctionnement des pôles et de dix membres adhérents met par ailleurs en évidence le cas particulier des dirigeants de PME participants à un projet collaboratif. Ainsi, un second modèle spécialement dédié à cette population souligne l’influence de la nature des relations entretenues au sein de ces projets et leur influence sur l’identification d’opportunités d’affaires. Des analyses menées grâce à la méthode des régressions linéaires multiples sont ainsi réalisées sur un échantillon de 100 dirigeants de PME participants à un projet collaboratif. Notre objectif est de mettre en lumière les antécédents de l'identification d'opportunités d'affaires afin de permettre aux pôles de mieux accompagner les dirigeants de PME. En soutenant la phase d'identification, les pôles de compétitivité pourront favoriser la transformation des efforts collaboratifs en emplois et croissance sur le territoire. Les résultats font ressortir le rôle prégnant de la recherche d’informations relatives au marché dans l’identification d’opportunités d’affaires. De plus, la nature des relations qu’entretiennent les participants à un projet collaboratif influence également fortement la capacité des dirigeants de PME à identifier ces opportunités. Ces éléments soulignent la nécessité pour les pôles de compétitivité de repenser leur rôle d’intermédiaire des échanges pour établir les conditions favorables à l’identification d’opportunités d’affaires ; des propositions sont faites en ce sens. / The French clusters are partnerships born out of the wish of public policies to make various actors (such as large and small firms, research bodies and educational establishments) working all together in a specific region to develop synergies and cooperative efforts around a shared theme. They are subject to regular assessments to measure their effectiveness. Their ability to bring out innovative and collaborative projects is recognized but the authorities stressed their difficulties in transforming these collaborative efforts in job creation and growth in the territory. Most of the corporations that belong to French clusters are SMEs and it is well-known that the SME’s manager is a central figure in his business. Therefore, we wonder how the French clusters can improve the support of these leaders in order to help them converting collaboration projects into job creation and growth. In the entrepreneurship literature, it is established that the SME’s manager ability to identify business opportunities and exploit them will create a dynamic for the economic growth of the organization. Indeed, the organization provides - through its knowledge structure - the necessary conditions to a better perception of opportunities. In return, the exploitation of the opportunity will benefit to the structure, favor its development and generate employment and growth. In this context, we build a first conceptual model aiming to identify the antecedents of business opportunity identification. The data were collected through a questionnaire answered by 205 SMEs managers belonging to a French cluster and was analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (Amos). The exploratory qualitative study was conducted with 8 institutional actors managing the French clusters and 10 SMEs’ managers members of these clusters and reveal the particular case of SMEs managers participating in a collaborative project. Thus, a second model specially dedicated to this subpopulation (100 SMEs managers participating in a collaborative project) is run. We use multiple regression analysis to explore the nature of relationships within these projects and their influence on the identification of business opportunities. By highlighting the antecedents of business opportunity identification, our objective is to give the French clusters the necessary tools to better support the SMEs’ managers and thus favor the transformation of synergies into growth and job creation. The results highlight the significant role of market information research in the identification of business opportunities. Moreover, the nature of the relationship between the participants in a collaborative project also strongly influences the ability of SMEs managers to identify these opportunities. These factors underscore the need for clusters to rethink their role as a medium of exchange to establish the conditions for the identification of business opportunities. Proposals are made in this direction.
