The main research question was What are the relationships between parenting style, self-regulated learning (SRL) and the academic achievement of selected (upper) primary school students in Ethiopia? The following specific research questions were formulated: • What are the views of the students on the parenting styles, and on parental acceptance and control, the cognitive strategies they use, and their self-regulated learning? • What is the relationship between parenting style and SRL? • What is the relationship between parenting style and academic achievement? • What is the relationship between SRL and academic achievement? • Does SRL moderate the relationship between parenting style and academic achievement? In this study a correlational design was used, but it was also exploratory and descriptive. Data were collected by means of a self-report questionnaire, while the academic achievements of the students were derived from official records. The questionnaire was completed by 477 randomly selected students from two classes in each of five schools in Hawasa, Ethiopia. The analysis of the data was done by means of descriptive, correlation, and ANOVA tests. The major findings included the following: Most of the children experienced acceptance by their parents, in particular from their female parents/guardians. The best levels of acceptance were, for example, “When I get a poor grade at school, my parents encourage me to try harder”, or “I can count on my parents to help me if I have some kind of a problem”, and “My parents keep pushing me to do my best in whatever I do”. However, it was found that the parents seldom spent time merely talking to their children. The female parents/guardians seemed to control their children more than the male parents/guardians, and were more involved with their children. The children, though, also believed that their parents/guardians did not really know how they spent their leisure time. More often the children perceived their parents as being neglectful. Regarding their cognitive strategies, the students particularly made use of memorization. The cognitive strategies of the children whose parents were authoritative were significantly better than those of the other children. When a student’s self-regulation increased, his/her cognitive strategies also increased, and when the cognitive strategies improved, so did the average achievement. The parents’ parenting styles were also significantly related to their children’s achievement, and were moderated by cognitive strategies as co-variants. / Psychology of Education / D. Ed.

Det finns flera ledarskapsarketyper, några mer välkända än andra. En ledarstil som harstuderats under lång tid är den auktoritära som i korta drag kan beskrivas som enväldig och kontrollerande. Syftet i denna kvalitativa studie är att utforska den auktoritära ledarskapsstilen och finna paralleller mellan managementlitteratur och framställningen av en fiktiv auktoritärledare. För att besvara våra frågeställningar har vi utifrån relevant managementlitteratur tagit fram en analysmodell. Med hjälp av den framtagna modellen har vi analyserat en fiktiv ledare och visat hur en tv-serie framställer den auktoritära ledarens handlingar och vilka effekter dennes agerande får hos de ledda. Vår studie visar att det finns kopplingar mellanporträtteringen av den auktoritära ledaren i managementlitteratur, och den auktoritära ledaren i fiktionen. Uppsatsens språk är svenska. / There are several leadership archetypes, some more well known than others. A leadership style which has been studied for a long time is the authoritarian. It can briefly be described as sovereign and controlling. The purpose of this qualitative study is to explore the authoritarian leadership style and find parallels between management literature and the portrayal of a fictitious authoritarian leader. To answer our questions we have developed a model based on relevant management literature. With the help of the developed model we have analyzed a fictitious leader. We demonstrate how a television series depicts the actions of the authoritarian leader and the effects his actions have on his subordinates. Our study shows that there are links between the portrayal of the authoritarian leader in management literature and the authoritarian leader in fiction. The language of the essay is Swedish.

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka sambandet mellan unga vuxnas psykiska hälsa och upplevelsen av deras föräldrars föräldrastilar under barndomen. Studien utgick ifrån de fyra föräldrastilarna auktoritativ, auktoritär, tillåtande och försumlig. För att undersöka detta formulerades fyra olika påståenden om att det fanns ett positivt samband mellan samtliga föräldrastilar och psykisk hälsa/ohälsa bland unga vuxna. Det formulerades även ett femte påstående: att sambandet mellan föräldrastilar och unga vuxnas psykiska hälsa var starkare bland män än kvinnor. Studien genomfördes med kvantitativ metod och tvärsnittsdesign. I urvalet ingick 128 studenter från Högskolan i Skövde (86 kvinnor, 40 män och två som uppgav annat som kön) med ålder mellan 18 och 29. Via högskolans olika student-facebookgrupper fick respondenterna svara på en enkät bestående av tre delar. Den första delen täckte bakgrundsfrågor om kön och ålder. Den andra delen användes mätinstrumentet S-EMBU, för att mäta upplevelsen av föräldrabeteende/föräldrastilar, och i den tredje delen ingick mätinstrumentet GHQ-12, för att mäta generell psykisk hälsa. Resultaten visade att finns ett starkt samband mellan unga vuxnas mentala hälsa och deras upplevelse av sina föräldrars föräldrastilar under barndomen. De auktoritativa och tillåtande föräldrastilarna hade en positiv inverkan på unga vuxnas mentala hälsa, medan den auktoritära och försumliga föräldrastilen hade en negativ inverkan. Studien fann också att effekten av föräldrastilar på mental hälsa varierade beroende på kön, där sambandet var starkare bland kvinnorna än bland männen. / The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between young adults' mental health and their experiences of their parents’ parenting styles during their childhoods. The study was based on the four parenting styles: authoritative, authoritarian, permissive and negligent parenting styles. To investigate this, four different claims stating that there was a positive relationship between all the parenting styles and mental health/mental illness among young adults were formulated. A fifth assumption claiming that the relationship between parenting styles and young adults' mental health was stronger among men than among women was also constructed. The study was conducted using a quantitative method and cross-sectional design with a study sample consisting of 128 students from the University of Skövde (86 women, 40 men and two who didn’t identify by either gender) with ages ranging between 18 to 29 years. The respondents were asked through the university's various student Facebook groups to partake in answering a questionnaire consisting of three parts. The first part covered background questions about gender and age. The second part used the measuring instrument S-EMBU to measure the experience of parenting behavior/parenting styles, and the third part included the measuring instrument GHQ-12 to measure general mental health. The results showed a strong relationship between young adults' mental health and their experiences of their parents' parenting styles during childhood. The authoritative and permissive parenting styles had a positive impact on young adults' mental health, while the authoritarian and neglectful parenting styles had a negative impact. The study also found that the effect of parenting styles on mental health varied by gender, with the relationship being stronger among women than among men.

L’adoption grandissante des caméras portatives par les organisations policières dans les dernières années a visé plusieurs objectifs. Il est généralement attendu que l’utilisation de la technologie puisse contribuer à rendre les organisations plus transparentes, à assurer une plus grande imputabilité des policiers, ou encore à réduire l’utilisation de la force à l’endroit des citoyens. En étant activées lors des interventions policières, les caméras portatives permettraient aussi la production d’enregistrements qui pourront être utilisés tout au long de la chaîne judiciaire, que ce soit lors d’enquêtes ou de procédures judiciaires. Toutefois, la littérature scientifique s’étant largement intéressée aux impacts des caméras portatives sur les interactions entre les policiers et les citoyens, les conséquences de leur utilisation sur les tribunaux demeurent un aspect toujours sous-étudié. La présente thèse vise à mieux comprendre l’apport des enregistrements de caméras portatives au traitement des causes criminelles par les tribunaux. Quatre objectifs spécifiques sont visés : 1) explorer les représentations que se font les acteurs judiciaires de la valeur probante des images de caméras portatives ; 2) mieux comprendre le rôle des images de caméras portatives dans les pratiques des acteurs judiciaires ; 3) mettre en lumière les éléments pouvant affecter le recours aux images de caméras portatives ; et 4) évaluer l’impact de la disponibilité des images de caméras portatives sur le traitement des causes criminelles par les tribunaux, et plus particulièrement sur les verdicts de culpabilité et le temps de traitement des dossiers. Le point de départ de la thèse est un projet pilote de caméras portatives mené par le Service de police de la Ville de Montréal, et une méthodologie mixte conjuguant des entretiens menés auprès de procureurs et d’avocats de la défense (N = 22) à l’analyse statistique de données issues de dossiers judiciaires (N = 525) permet de répondre aux objectifs énoncés. D’un point de vue empirique, il est soutenu que l’apport des images de caméras portatives au processus judiciaire représente une forme de paradoxe, où la forte valeur probante étant associée aux images par les acteurs judiciaires ne correspond pas totalement à l’utilisation qui en est faite ni aux impacts qui sont observés sur le traitement des dossiers. Bien qu’une baisse significative du temps de traitement soit observée pour certains dossiers, plusieurs facteurs semblent mettre un frein à l’utilisation des images par les acteurs judiciaires. D’un point de vue théorique, la thèse propose d’approfondir les réflexions sur le pouvoir de l’image dans le processus judiciaire. En empruntant la notion de savoir autoritaire, il est soutenu que le paradoxe observé dans l’apport de l’image au processus judiciaire puisse s’expliquer par la source même de la supériorité de la preuve. Au-delà de leur contribution potentielle à la découverte des faits, les images de caméras portatives sont utilisées dans un contexte où la productivité du tribunal demeure un objectif central, ce qui peut amener les acteurs judiciaires à accorder une priorité à d’autres formes d’information, dont la version des policiers. / The growing adoption of body-worn cameras by police organizations in recent years has served several objectives. It is generally expected that the use of this technology will help make organizations more transparent, ensure greater accountability for police officers, or even reduce the use of force against citizens. By being activated during police interventions, body-worn cameras would also allow the production of recordings that can be used throughout the judicial chain, whether during investigations or legal proceedings. However, scientific literature having been mainly interested in the impacts of body-worn cameras on interactions between police officers and citizens, the consequences of their use on courts remain an aspect that is still understudied. This thesis aims to better understand the contribution of body-worn camera recordings to the processing of criminal cases by courts. Four specific objectives are targeted: 1) to explore the representations that judicial actors have of the evidentiary value of body-worn camera recordings; 2) to better understand the role of body-worn camera recordings in the practices of judicial actors; 3) to highlight the elements that may affect the use of body-worn camera recordings; and 4) to assess the impacts of the availability of body-worn camera recordings on the processing of criminal cases by courts, and more particularly on guilty verdicts and case processing times. The starting point of the thesis is a body-worn camera pilot project led by the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal, and a mixed methods design combining interviews conducted with prosecutors and defence lawyers (N = 22) with statistical analysis of data from court cases (N = 525) is used to meet the stated objectives. From an empirical standpoint, it is argued that the contribution of body- worn camera recordings to the judicial process represents a form of paradox, where the high evidentiary value being associated with images by the judicial actors does not fully correspond to the use that is made of it or the impacts that are observed on case processing. Although a significant reduction in processing time is observed for some cases, several factors seem to put a brake on the use of recordings by judicial actors. From a theoretical standpoint, the thesis proposes to deepen the reflections on the power of images in the judicial process. By borrowing the notion of authoritative knowledge, it is argued that the paradox observed in the contribution of body-worn camera recordings to the judicial process could be explained by the very source of their superiority. Beyond their potential contribution to the discovery of the facts, body-worn camera recordings are used in a context where productivity remains a central objective to the court, which can lead judicial actors to prioritize other forms of information, including police officers’ versions.

The hierarchal distributed database, Domain Name System (DNS) provides name resolution for network applications, which is vital for the functionality of the Internet. An important part of the system design is to distribute the administration by delegation of domains. To maintain the availability of domains it is important that configuration is accurately per-formed. Zonemaster is a tool used for validating the quality of a DNS delegation by testing of misconfigurations. This thesis evaluates Zonemaster and how it relates to other DNS tools. The evaluation was conducted by identifying and designing configuration errors re-garding DNS delegation. These errors were tested by each tool. Their responses together with the extent of documentation regarding test specification was analyzed. The analyzed data was then divided into three categories: number of implemented tests, detected errors and if the test specification referred to a reliable source. The results showed that Zonemas-ter had all the tests implemented, detected and referred to 91,7% of them. / Den hierarkiska distribuerade databasen, domännamnssystem (DNS) utför namnuppslag-ningar för nätverksapplikationer, vilket är en viktig del för Internets funktionalitet. Dess systemdesign möjliggör distribuerad administration genom delegering av domäner. För att behålla tillgängligheten av domäner är det viktigt att konfigurationen utförs korrekt. Zone-master är ett verktyg som används för att validera kvaliteten av en DNS-delegation genom att identifiera felkonfigureringar. Detta examensarbete utvärderar Zonemaster och dess re-lation till andra DNS-verktyg. Utvärderingen genomfördes genom att identifiera och ut-forma konfigurationsfel avseende DNS-delegering. Dessa fel testades av varje verktyg och deras svar, tillsammans med tillhörande testspecifikation analyserades. Analyserat data de-lades sedan in i tre kategorier: antal genomförda test, upptäckta fel och om testspecifikat-ionerna hänvisade till tillförlitliga källor. Resultaten visade att Zonemaster hade alla tester implementerade samt upptäckte och hänvisade till 91,7% av dem.

Esta tese propõe uma contribuição para as análises do campo obstétrico pré-natal sendo o seu objeto a transmissão e circulação do "saber autorizador" a partir das experiências de mediação tecnológica com a cardiotocografia num contexto institucional local. O principal objetivo é mostrar que o campo obstétrico contemporâneo se constrói a partir da afirmação do feto/bebê como seu símbolo dominante. Para tanto direcionei o meu olhar para a dinâmica dos agentes institucionais em torno da tecnologia da cardiotocografia, observando as relações entre o conceito de "saber autorizador" e o simbolismo dominante contextual. Embora o conceito de "saber autorizador" tenha sido originalmente proposto para a compreensão da dinâmica dos agentes do campo obstétrico, ele foi atribuído apenas aos profissionais médicos que dominam as tecnologias de controle da condição fetal, portanto, supondo que a autoridade deste saber se encontra circunscrito a este grupo de agentes. No entanto, quando se apresenta a perspectiva da incorporação deste saber pelos múltiplos agentes do campo incluindo as gestantes, encontramos o direcionamento conjunto para uma categoria central híbrida que confere autoridade tanto ao saber quanto à experiência do grupo articulado à tecnologia obstétrica. A metodologia consistiu na observação participante da dinâmica da cardiotocografia numa Maternidade Pública do município do Rio de Janeiro, incluindo entrevistas semi-estruturadas com cinco médicos, agentes a quem o saber autorizador é originalmente atribuído. As representações dos entrevistados disponibilizaram quatro categorias: a história, os valores, os instrumentos tecnológicos e as emoções que são incorporadas/corporificadas em torno da relação do saber e da experiência de cuidado com o feto/bebê. Estas categorias serviram para a análise da observação do campo, resultando na construção da nova categoria - a vitalidade fetal - que verifica o simbolismo dominante conferido pelo feto/bebê e que mostra de maneira aprofundada o movimento contemporâneo do campo obstétrico em direção à perinatologia. / This theses aims to contribute to the analysis of the prenatal obstetrical field concerning its object which is the transmission and circulation of the authoritative knowledge from technological mediated experiences with cardiotocography in a local institutional context. The main purpose is to show how the obstetrical field is built within the affirmation of the fetus/baby as its dominant symbol. To reach this consent I turned my gaze to the dynamics of cardiotocography and its relationship between the authoritative knowledge and the contextual symbolism. Although the authoritative knowledge was a concept originally intended to explain the dynamics of the obstetrical field in regard to technology, it was only attributed to medical professionals who were able to deal with the obstetrical technology, disregarding the multiple agents who embody knowledge and experience which eventually enact a central hybrid category attached to the obstetrical technology. The methodology was based on the participant observation of a public maternity in the city of Rio de Janeiro, where I also interviewed five medical professionals to whom the authoritative knowledge is attributed. Their representations disposed four categories: their history, values, technological instruments and emotions, which are all, embodied around the relationship of knowledge and experience with the fetus/baby care. These categories were used in the fieldwork analysis to verify the dominant symbolism concerning the fetus/baby and also to demonstrate the construction of a new category the fetal vitality that explains the movement of the obstetrical field towards perinatology.

The main subject of this work is to design methodology of building an authoritative content website. The first part examines the current status of methodologies for web application development and software in general. Further the Lean Startup methodology for creating business plan is analyzed. The next chapters are dedicated to own methodology that covers all the steps of creating a website. From the very idea, moving towards the creation of the business model, defining the theme of the website, determining of target groups, methods of monetization, competition and competitive advantages. Continuing with information architecture design using the keyword classification analysis and multidimensional view of data, which are search queries. For the entire web development offers an analysis of languages and tools. During the subsequent working of the web online, methodology explores the possibilities of online traffic monetization. In the practical part the methodology is verified by using the defined metrics using the example of an international website draft in English on the topic of recipes for cooking. The outcome of this work is the proposed methodology for authoritative content website and design of website unirecipes.com.
