Lika barn... : Könsskillnader i attityder till okända människor beroende på kön och etnicitetAndersson, Allis, Jensdotter, Stinne January 2012 (has links)
I studien, vilken omfattade 177 svenskfödda studenter, utvecklades och kontrollerades enegenkonstruerad enkät: SAPS. Även könsskillnader i fördomar mot okända personers etnicitetoch kön samt könsskillnader i Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) undersöktes. Fördomarmättes med SAPS och SDO mättes med en svensk översättning av SDO scale (Pratto et al.,1994). SDO scale användes också som validitetskontroll av SAPS. Statistisk prövning medSpearmans Rho visade på en negativ korrelation mellan SAPS och SDO scale. ANCOVAvisade en stark tendens till interaktionseffekt mellan bedömarens kön och objektets etnicitet,och en huvudeffekt av kön återfanns. Ingen interaktionseffekt återfanns mellan bedömarensoch objektets kön vid testning med ANOVA. Mann-Whitney U-test visade på signifikanthögre värden på SDO hos de manliga deltagarna än hos de kvinnliga. Resultaten diskuterasmed stöd i tidigare forskning om fördomar.

Prediction of Extreme Ultraviolet Variability Experiment (EVE)/Extreme Ultraviolet Spectro-Photometer (ESP) Irradiance from Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO)/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) Images Using Fuzzy Image Processing and Machine LearningColak, Tufan, Qahwaji, Rami S.R. 03 1900 (has links)
Yes / The cadence and resolution of solar images have been increasing dramatically with the launch of new spacecraft such as STEREO and SDO. This increase in data volume provides new opportunities for solar researchers, but the efficient processing and analysis of these data create new challenges. We introduce a fuzzy-based solar feature-detection system in this article. The proposed system processes SDO/AIA images using fuzzy rules to detect coronal holes and active regions. This system is fast and it can handle different size images. It is tested on six months of solar data (1 October 2010 to 31 March 2011) to generate filling factors (ratio of area of solar feature to area of rest of the solar disc) for active regions and coronal holes. These filling factors are then compared to SDO/EVE/ESP irradiance measurements. The correlation between active-region filling factors and irradiance measurements is found to be very high, which has encouraged us to design a time-series prediction system using Radial Basis Function Networks to predict ESP irradiance measurements from our generated filling factors.

Hård eller mjuk? : val av metoder i hundträning speglar personlighet och sociala attityder / Tough or tender? : choice of methods in dog training reflects personality and social attitudesBerglund, Anna January 2012 (has links)
I litteraturen antyds ibland att dominansåsikter och uppfattningen att hundar ska behandlas med hårda tag för att uppnå lydnad tycks hänga ihop. Däremot verkar det inte ha genomförts några studier för att undersöka om sambandet verkligen existerar. En Internetbaserad enkätundersökning med 355 deltagare genomfördes för att undersöka om ett antal personlighetsdrag predicerar klassiska dominansattityder mot hundar. Dessutom undersöktes om samma variabler plus klassiska dominansattityder predicerar en överseende attityd till plågsamma metoder för att uppnå hundlydnad. Av variablerna visade sig manligt kön och klassiska dominansattityder vara de viktigaste för att predicera en överseende attityd till plågsamma metoder. För att predicera en hög grad av klassiska dominansattityder var manligt kön och en hög grad av social dominansorientering viktigast.

The Dual Process Model of National Identification: Harmonious and Dangerous Worldviews as Antecedents of National Attachment and GlorificationSyropoulos, Stylianos 20 October 2021 (has links) (PDF)
Worldviews can shape the way in which we perceive the world. They can also shape the way in which we identify with our ingroup. Conceptualizing national identification as national attachment and glorification, four studies (total N = 1795) tested the association between endorsement of a harmonious or a dangerous worldview and national identification. Study 1 established the harmonious worldview and refined the dangerous worldview scale. Study 2 examined these relationships correlationally, and highlighted the prejudicial ideologies of right wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) as mediators to this association. Study 3 examined this relationship longitudinally, across the span of two months. Study 4 successfully manipulated dangerous but not harmonious worldviews, partially establishing a cause-and-effect relationship between worldviews and national identification. A dangerous worldview predicted increased attachment and glorification via increased RWA and SDO. Contrary to our expectation, a harmonious worldview predicted decreased attachment and glorification via increased RWA and SDO. These effects remained significant two months later, and when controlling for other key worldviews such as belief in a competitive world. Crucially, for liberals, but not moderates or conservatives, a harmonious worldview predicted increased attachment as well as decreased glorification.

'Did You Get It?' - The Effects of Understanding (or Not Understanding) a Satirical Piece of HumorKazerooni, Franccesca 01 January 2012 (has links)
The effects of knowing or not knowing the satirical nature of a piece of humor were examined and compared to the effects of disparaging humor. One hundred and twenty-six heterosexual undergraduate students (male: n = 43; female: n = 83) were randomly assigned a satirical or an offensive comic about gay men. Some of those who read the satirical piece were told of the satirical intentions of the author. Some of the predicted hypotheses were partially supported. Low SDO participants found the satirical comic, regardless of whether the author’s satirical intentions were explicitly told or not, less humorous and more offensive than high SDO participants. On the other hand, high SDO participants found the disparaging comic to be more humorous and less offensive than low SDO participants. The implications of these findings as well as the difficulties with measuring the effects of satire are addressed.

Authoritariansim and Collectivism: Antecedents and Consequences Among College StudentsSamuel, Jasmine, Ms. 01 January 2016 (has links)
Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) suggests there are five distinct moral dimensions, which define morality as a whole. MFT can be broken down into two groups binding: in group/loyalty, authority/respect, and purity/sanctity-which encompass group morality. Harm/Care, fairness/reciprocity are individualizing dimensions, which highlight individual morality. Recent work has found MFT predicts sociopolitical ideologies, as well as sociopolitical attitudes. In an effort to better understand the existing relationships we investigate MFT as a predictor of sociopolitical parties, and attitudes Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO). We also draw on similarities between Individualism/Collectivism and MFT. Specifically we demonstrate individualizing foundations, and dimensions of individualism predict SDO, where as Binding dimensions and dimensions of Collectivism relate to RWA.

Development of Sensors and Microcontrollers for Underwater RobotsJebelli, Ali January 2014 (has links)
Nowadays, small autonomous underwater robots are strongly preferred for remote exploration of unknown and unstructured environments. Such robots allow the exploration and monitoring of underwater environments where a long term underwater presence is required to cover a large area. Furthermore, reducing the robot size, embedding electrical board inside and reducing cost are some of the challenges designers of autonomous underwater robots are facing. As a key device for reliable operation-decision process of autonomous underwater robots, a relatively fast and cost effective controller based on Fuzzy logic and proportional-integral-derivative method is proposed in this thesis. It efficiently models nonlinear system behaviors largely present in robot operation and for which mathematical models are difficult to obtain. To evaluate its response, the fault finding test approach was applied and the response of each task of the robot depicted under different operating conditions. The robot performance while combining all control programs and including sensors was also investigated while the number of program codes and inputs were increased.
