La fórmula de tratamiento usted como marcador étnico del habla : Sus correlaciones con algunos factores de la tríada ecológica en contexto de etnias en contacto / The address form usted as an ethnic speech marker : Its correlations with some factors of the ecological triad in context of ethnic groups in contactSarmiento, Miguel Angel January 2006 (has links)
This study aims at exploring the social, affective and cognitive variables that would be related to the use of the address form usted in Chilean Spanish. Specifically, we refer to the use that can be observed in interactions between Chileans residing in Sweden. A particular aspect of this situation is that, while the majority group almost exclusively use the form that is commonly associated with solidarity (in this case the Swedish pronoun du), the minority group referred to maintains the pronoun that normally is associated with power, distance, formality and politeness: usted. In other words, while the equivalent in Swedish of usted (ni) is seldom used in majority language, the opposite is observed in the minority language object of study. We believe that the motives for the use of usted in this minority context are more complex than they appear to be. Consequently, an alternative hypothesis has been worked out with reference to theories within the area of Social Psychology. On this basis the following main hypothesis was formulated: Individuals representing the minority group in ethnic contact situations tend to increase their identification with the minority group in order to be admitted by and adhere to this group, if they feel that they are rejected by the majority group. The form usted is not the result of a fortuitous situation, nor can it be explained by the fact that it is the normal usage in the native country, but that it fulfils a strategic objective: to mark the affiliation with the minority group. The method has consisted in grouping together and correlating factors pertaining to the environment, the agent and the guest according to the Ecological Triad, the interaction of which contributes to the appearance of the observed behaviour that underlies this study. The statistical analysis enabled us to verify what was put forward in the hypothesis.

Quelques contributions à l'estimation des modèles définis par des équations estimantes conditionnelles / Some contributions to the statistical inference in models defined by conditional estimating equationsLi, Weiyu 15 July 2015 (has links)
Dans cette thèse, nous étudions des modèles définis par des équations de moments conditionnels. Une grande partie de modèles statistiques (régressions, régressions quantiles, modèles de transformations, modèles à variables instrumentales, etc.) peuvent se définir sous cette forme. Nous nous intéressons au cas des modèles avec un paramètre à estimer de dimension finie, ainsi qu’au cas des modèles semi paramétriques nécessitant l’estimation d’un paramètre de dimension finie et d’un paramètre de dimension infinie. Dans la classe des modèles semi paramétriques étudiés, nous nous concentrons sur les modèles à direction révélatrice unique qui réalisent un compromis entre une modélisation paramétrique simple et précise, mais trop rigide et donc exposée à une erreur de modèle, et l’estimation non paramétrique, très flexible mais souffrant du fléau de la dimension. En particulier, nous étudions ces modèles semi paramétriques en présence de censure aléatoire. Le fil conducteur de notre étude est un contraste sous la forme d’une U-statistique, qui permet d’estimer les paramètres inconnus dans des modèles généraux. / In this dissertation we study statistical models defined by condition estimating equations. Many statistical models could be stated under this form (mean regression, quantile regression, transformation models, instrumental variable models, etc.). We consider models with finite dimensional unknown parameter, as well as semiparametric models involving an additional infinite dimensional parameter. In the latter case, we focus on single-index models that realize an appealing compromise between parametric specifications, simple and leading to accurate estimates, but too restrictive and likely misspecified, and the nonparametric approaches, flexible but suffering from the curse of dimensionality. In particular, we study the single-index models in the presence of random censoring. The guiding line of our study is a U-statistics which allows to estimate the unknown parameters in a wide spectrum of models.

A comparison of the performance of three multivariate methods in investigating the effects of province and power usage on the amounts of five power modes in South AfricaKanyama, Busanga Jerome 06 1900 (has links)
Researchers perform multivariate techniques MANOVA, discriminant analysis and factor analysis. The
most common applications in social science are to identify and test the effects from the analysis. The
use of this multivariate technique is uncommon in investigating the effects of power usage and Province
in South Africa on the amounts of the five power modes. This dissertation discusses this issue, the
methodology and practical problems of the three multivariate techniques. The author examines the
applications of each technique in social public research and comparisons are made between the three
multivariate techniques.
This dissertation concludes with a discussion of both the concepts of the present multivariate
techniques and the results found on the use of the three multivariate techniques in the energy
household consumption. The author recommends focusing on the hypotheses of the study or typical
questions surrounding of each technique to guide the researcher in choosing the appropriate analysis in
the social research, as each technique has some strengths and limitations. / Statistics / M. Sc. (Statistics)

The human nature of Christ, fallen or unfallen?: a comparative analysis of the Christologies of Pannenberg and Hatdzidakis with reference to the Seventh-day Adventist Church debateChuumpu, Keith January 2020 (has links)
Bibliography: leaves 118-124 / Did Christ, in the incarnation, take a fallen or unfallen human nature? This question, in
its various forms, has occupied the Christian Church for as long as it has existed. For
the Seventh-day Adventist church, to which tradition I belong, the question centres on
whether Christ as a human being had sinful tendencies or not. This question has
divided the church into two main camps, with one camp saying he did, and the other
saying he did not. And the debate goes on. It is from the Seventh-day Adventist church
tradition that I picked up on this debate, following it up to mainstream Christianity
and motivating this research. My research seeks to identify the causes of the debate.
Its premise is that unless the specific causes of the debate are clearly identified and
appropriately addressed, it is difficult, if not impossible, to conclude it. For a close
analysis, two scholars, each representing one side, are picked and examined:
Pannenberg, representing the fallen nature position, and Hatzidakis, representing the
unfallen nature position. Their respective arguments are gleaned, compared and
analysed; and their differences, causes and possible solutions are pointed out. The
findings are then applied to the Seventh-day Adventist church debate and to
Christianity at large. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)

[en] A PRIORI ESTIMATES WITH APPLICATION TO MEAN-FIELD GAMES / [pt] ESTIMATIVAS A PRIORI E JOGOS DE CAMPO MÉDIOJOAO VITOR MEDEIROS DOMINGOS 28 January 2021 (has links)
[pt] A estrutura dos mean-filed games foi desenvolvida com o intuito de estudar
problemas com um infinito número de jogadores em algum tipo de
competição, ao qual pode ser aplicado em diversos problemas. O estudo formalizado
desses problemas começou, na comunidade matemática com Lasry
and Lions, e mais ou menos na mesma época, porém independentemente,
na comunidade de engenharia por P. Caines, Minyi Huang, and Roland
Malhamé. Desde então a pesquisa nos mean-field games cresceu exponencialmente,
e nesse trabalho apresentaremos regularidade para um caso de
mean-field games utilizando tecnicas particulares.
Nesse trabalho, estudamos time-dependent mean-field games no caso
subquadrático, isto é, mean-field games, o qual é escrito como um sistema
de duas equações, uma equação de Hamilton-Jacobi e uma equação do
transporte ou uma equação de Fokker-Plank, em que o Hamiltoniano
na equação de Hamilton-Jacobi possui um crescimento subquadratico.
Começamos em assumir dez suposições, e então sob os mesmos deduzir
regularidade Lipschitz para o sistema. / [en] The mean-field games framework was developed to study problems with
an infinite number of rational players in competition, which could be applied
in many problems. The formalized study of these problems has begun,
in the mathematical community by Lasry and Lions, and beside them,
but independently close to the same time in the engineering community
by P. Caines, Minyi Huang, and Roland Malhamé. Since these seminal
contributions, the research in mean-field games has grown exponentially,
and in this work we present a regularity to a case of mean-field games using
particulars techniques.
In this work, we study time-dependent mean-field games in the subquadratic
case, that is, mean-field games, which are written as a system of
a Hamilton–Jacobi equation and a transport or Fokker–Planck equation,
where The Hamiltonian presented on the Hamilton–Jacobi equation has a
subquadratic growth. We begin by assuming ten assumptions, and then,
under these assumptions derive Lipschitz regularity of the system.

Gewinnung sicherer Lastannahmen aus Simulation und Messung zur Festigkeitsauslegung von Straßen- und StadtbahnenZechel, Gero 21 February 2017 (has links) (PDF)
Die Nutzung historisch solider Lastannahmen, wie sie zum Beispiel die VDV Richtlinie 152 in der Fassung von 1992 festlegt, ist für die Festigkeitsauslegung neuartiger Straßen- und Stadtbahnfahrzeuge unzureichend, da die Annahmen und Methoden der Komplexität und insbesondere der Nichtlinearität moderner Fahrzeugkonzepte keine Rechnung tragen. Diese Arbeit zeigt auf, wie sich entstandene Lücken in den Lastannahmen durch Simulation und Messung von Fahrzeug und Gleis analysieren, verstehen und schließen lassen.
Den Kern bildet dabei der Einsatz detaillierterer Simulationsmodelle von Fahrzeug und Gleis, deren Eingangsdaten mit Hilfe von Messungen gewonnen und deren Ausgangsdaten mit ihnen verifiziert und ergänzt werden müssen. Hierfür werden Methoden und Werkzeuge entwickelt, die ein ein vielseitiges Baukastensystem für die Fahrzeuganalyse, Modellvalidierung und Datenbewertung bilden, und zu sicheren Lastannahmen für die Fahrzeugauslegung führen.

Paradigma ontleding van en paradigma beskrywing vir deelnemende werkswysesSchenck, Catherina Johanna 11 1900 (has links)
Community development and in particular participatory development is about
people.
This means that the person who studies or practices participatory development
or any other of the participatory pratices should have a particular way of thinking
about people. The main aim motivating this study was to investigate the
paradigm/s about people on which participatory practices are based. This
included a literature research on five participatory practices namely
participatory development;
participatory communication;
participatory learning;
participatory research; and
participatory management.
A guideline for paradigm analysis was developed by using Schriver's (1995) and
Capra's (1996) descriptions of a paradigm as well as ideas of hermeneutics.
From the paradigm analysis on the participatory practices two themes emerged:
A shift from modernism to post modernism in the thinking processes and
participatory practices.
From the participatory practices the same concepts repeatedly emerged
indicating a similar paradigm for all the participatory practices.
Three post modern theories were therefore applied to enhance the description
of the different concepts. The end result of this study is the development of an
evolving paradigm for participatory practices in order to give enhanced meaning
to concepts in the participatory vocabulary.
Finally a critical reflection was done on the post modern research process. / Text in Afrikaans / Social Work / D.Phil. (Social Work)
