Are there gender differences in the use
 of questions in the sitcom Friends? : A case study of four episodes from 1994 and 2004 / Finns det genusskillnader i användandet av frågor i tv-serien Vänner? : En fallstudie av fyra avsnitt från 1994 och 2004

Jansson, Elin January 2018 (has links)
The main aim of this paper was to identify the form and function of questions used by the three female and three male characters in the sitcom Friends, in order to see whether there were any gender differences in the use of questions. Another aim was to see whether gender roles remain static over time in the series, from 1994 to 2004. Four episodes in total were used, two episodes from the first season and two from the last. The results clearly showed that the male characters asked more questions than the female characters which was the opposite of what research suggested. Out of the four main functions of questions (external questions, talk-questions, relational questions and expressive style questions), the male characters used the external and expressive style the most. This reflects what research says about men using questions more to show power and domination in conversations. Talk and relational questions were used more by the female characters, which agrees with previous research which shows that women use questions as a conversational tool more often than men. Over the ten-year period studied, there were no striking differences between the female and male characters when it came to the form of questions used. To sum up, the results turned out to agree to a great extent with previous research and the scripted dialogues seem to reflect authentic conversations surprisingly well. / Syftet med detta arbete var att identifiera olika typer och funktioner av frågor som används av de tre kvinnliga och de tre manliga karaktärerna i den amerikanska TV-serien Friends, för att se om det fanns genusskillnader i användandet av frågor. Det andra syftet var att se om könsrollerna är statiska över tid i serien, från 1994 till 2004. Fyra avsnitt totalt har använts, två avsnitt från den första säsongen och två från den sista. Resultatet från denna studie visade att de manliga karaktärerna ställde fler frågor än de kvinnliga karaktärerna vilket var motsatsen till vad tidigare forskning påvisat. Av de fyra huvudtyperna av frågor (externa frågor, talfrågor, relationella frågor och uttrycksfrågor), så använde sig de manliga karaktärerna mest av de externa frågorna och uttrycksfrågorna. Detta speglar vad forskning säger om att män använder frågor för att visa makt och dominans i konversationer. Talfrågorna och de relationella frågorna, som användes mest av de kvinnliga karaktärerna, speglar också tidigare forskning då kvinnor använder frågor som ett verktyg i konversation mer än män. Över decenniet fanns det inga slående skillnader mellan de manliga och kvinnliga karaktärerna när man tittar på vilken form av frågor som användes. Sammanfattningsvis visade sig resultaten överensstämma i hög grad med tidigare forskning och de nedskrivna dialogerna verkar spegla autentiska konversationer överraskande väl.

Dokumentation av elevers talspråkliga färdigheter : Lärares uppfattningar om former av och ändamål med dokumentation / Documentation of pupils’ oral language skills : Teachers’ perceptions of forms of and purposes with documentation

Lindström, Rasmus January 2018 (has links)
Syftet med studien var att utröna hur fem lärare i årskurs 1–3 resonerar om och uppfattar dokumentation av elevers talspråkliga färdigheter. Vilken form av dokumentation lärare beskriver sig använda i syfte att bedöma och följa upp elevers talspråkliga färdigheter och vilka ändamål med denna dokumentation lärare redogör för var de frågor studien syftade att besvara. Fem lärare i årskurserna 1–3 intervjuades på plats i sina respektive skolor. Intervjumaterialet transkriberades och analyserades utifrån analysmetoden innehållsanalys och Åsa Hirshs (2015) fem ändamål med IUP:er. Resultatet visar att lärare använder flera olika former för att dokumentera elevers talspråkliga färdigheter. Det ändamål med dokumentationen lärarna framhäver mest frekvent är att de nyttjar den som ett informationsbärande dokument för föräldrar och elever. Alla lärare lyfter fram minst ett dokumentationsändamål som inte omfattas av Hirshs (2015) typologier vilket bidrog till att tre nya dokumentationsändamål skapades. Därtill visar det sig att skriftliga anteckningar används utifrån flest antal ändamål medan elevskapat och nedskrivet material bara används för att engagera eleverna i bedömningen av sina kunskaper och observationsscheman bara för att informera om elevens nuvarande kunskaper.

Um estudo sobre o wartegg como medida de criatividade em seleção de pessoal

Pereira, Daniela Forgiarini January 2006 (has links)
Este estudo teve como objetivo investigar se o Teste Wartegg é um instrumento capaz de avaliar a criatividade em seleção de pessoal. Foi realizada uma validade de construto através de estudos correlacionais entre indicadores de criatividade nos protocolos do Wartegg e do Torrance – Forma Figural. Participaram desta pesquisa 68 candidatos de processos seletivos, 47% homens e 52,7% mulheres, com idades entre 18 e 41 anos. Foram observadas evidências de fidedignidade no Wartegg correlacionando-se os itens que compõem as categorias que se acredita estarem relacionadas com a função básica imaginação – criatividade, flexibilidade, visão convencional e rigidez – com seus totais. O melhor indicador no Wartegg para investigar a criatividade foi o somatório da criatividade com a flexibilidade. Além disso, verificou-se uma correlação direta entre o campo 5 do Wartegg e os índices criativos figurais do Torrance (ICF 1 e ICF 2). Ainda que o estudo em questão apresente alguma evidência de validade, novos estudos são necessários. Por fim, constata-se que o objetivo do Wartegg, tanto pelo rapport como pela construção teórica, está muito mais direcionado para o entendimento de questões mais amplas da personalidade do que para a investigação de uma função básica específica. Entretanto, a correlação das funções básicas com testes que investiguem o mesmo construto talvez seja uma das únicas formas de validar o instrumento, tendo em vista a dificuldade de encontrar um teste que avalie as condições de personalidade de maneira tão ampla. / This study it had as objective to investigate if the Wartegg Test is an instrument capable to assess the creativity in personnel selection. A construct validity has been verified through correlation studies between creativity indicators in the protocols of the Wartegg Test and those of the Figural Form of the Torrance Test. Sixty eight candidates for selective processes, 47.0% men and 52.7% women, were involved in this research, ranging from 18 to 41 years of age. Evidences of trustworthiness in the Wartegg Test had been observed correlating items of categories which were assumed to be related with the basic function imagination - creativity, flexibility, conventional vision and rigidity - with its totals. The best Wartegg indicator found to investigate creativity is the sum of creativity plus flexibility. Moreover, a direct correlation was verified between field 5 of the Wartegg and the figural creativity index of the Torrance (ICF 1 e ICF 2). Despite the study presents some evidence of validity, new studies are required. Finally, it is evident the objective of the Wartegg, as much for rapport as for the theoretical construction, is more directed to understanding of ampler questions of personality than to investigation of a specific basic function. However, the correlation between basic functions and tests which investigate the same construct may be the only way to validate the instrument, due the difficulty in finding a test that evaluates conditions of personality in so ampler way.

Perceptionsanalys av tre webbplatser som använder Flash : skillnader i syn på färg och form bland kvinnliga och manliga Internetanvändare i olika åldersgrupper

Kronvall, Alf January 2003 (has links)
Denna uppsats undersöker hur kvinnor och män i olika åldersgrupper förhåller sig till Flashapplikationer utifrån deras uppfattning om färg och form. Deltagarna som består av skolungdomar, nyexaminerade studenter och pensionärer har genom en enkät och en semistrukturerad intervjuform fått redogöra för sina intryck av Santa Marias, Eccos och Indiskas webbplatser. Undersökningsdeltagarna identifierar Flashelementen genom deras rörelser. Deltagarna vill välja om de ska se animationer och andra applikationer skapade i Flash för att inte tappa koncentrationen från övrigt innehåll. Studenterna i undersökningen har en mer kritisk hållning till färgval, formgivning och användandet av Flash än övriga. Kvinnorna i undersökningen har en mer liberal hållning till färg och form än männen. / This essay explores how men and women in different age groups experiences Flashapplications, depending on their perception of colour and form. The participants, teenagers at a junior high school, students who just have finished their degree and senior citizens have by answering a form and by taking part in a semi structured interview been able to express their opinion of the following Scandinavian web pages: Santa Maria, Ecco and Indiska. The participants identify the flash objects by their movements. The participants want to be able to choose weather or not to see the animations and other applications created in Flash, to avoid loosing focus on the other information the trademarks wants to express. The students have the most critical approach to colour, form and the use of Flash objects. The female participants have a more liberal approach to colour and form then the male participants.

Resistente, misteriosa, visível: a forma e suas ficções na literatura de Jorge Luis Borges / Resistant, mysterious, visible: the form and its fictions in the literature of Jorge Luis Borges

William Augusto da Silva 05 April 2017 (has links)
Este estudo consiste numa leitura da obra de Jorge Luis Borges, em especial de sua narrativa, a partir dos pressupostos da crítica literária dialética em sua busca pelo estabelecimento de possíveis mediações entre literatura e sociedade. Nosso ponto de partida foi a análise das premissas teóricas do escritor argentino a respeito do gênero conto e, em seguida, passamos à discussão a respeito dos temas da leitura e da reescrita no âmbito de sua produção literária e teórica. Ao longo desse percurso, delinearam-se características formais que podem ser descritas em termos de uma prevalência do abstrato sobre o específico, do todo sobre a parte, ou, finalmente, do universal sobre o particular. Esse esquema básico, embora se configure de diferentes formas no objeto, foi isolado pelo trabalho de análise e identificado como o princípio constitutivo da forma, concebida tanto do ponto de vista da composição, em que todo e partes se articulam, quanto do ponto de vista da reescrita de uma história tradicional ou arquetípica, em que a fábula básica do intertexto impõe o padrão da ação ao texto receptor. A proposta interpretativa deste estudo sugere ver nesses traços aspectos da sociedade capitalista contemporânea, cujas relações sociais se pautam pelo tipo de racionalidade instrumental típico da sociedade burguesa. O predomínio do geral sobre o particular, isto é, do valor de troca sobre o valor de uso, que caracteriza a forma-mercadoria na visão de Marx, se generaliza e expande sua lógica para todos os domínios da realidade. Convergindo com a formação do valor da mercadoria, a obra de arte partilharia, em certa medida, do pensamento reificado da totalidade social, de acordo com Theodor Adorno. Essa proposta interpretativa é levada a término e suas consequências dialéticas discutidas por meio da análise do conto El Zahir, pertencente ao livro El Aleph, publicado em 1949 em Buenos Aires. A fim de possibilitar essa análise, o presente estudo inclui também a análise do conto Berenice, de Edgar Allan Poe, com o qual El Zahir estabelece um diálogo sutil, embora bastante produtivo. Ademais, encontram-se comentados ou analisados neste trabalho os contos Funes, el memoriso, Tema del traidor y del héroe (Ficções, 1944) e La trama (El hacedor, 1960). / This study consists of a reading of the work of Jorge Luis Borges, especially his narrative, based on the presuppositions of dialectical literary criticism, which seeks to establish modes of mediation between literature and society. Our starting point was the analysis of theoretical propositions about the theory of the short story in the work of the Argentine writer, and then we turn to the discussion about the themes of reading and rewriting in his fictional and theoretical work. Along this path, formal features have been delineated that can be described as a prevalence of the abstract over the specific, the whole over the part, or, finally, the universal over the particular. This basic scheme, even though it is configured in different ways in the object, was isolated by the work of analysis and identified as the constitutive principle of form, conceived both from the point of view of composition, in which whole and parts are articulated, and from the point of view of the rewriting of a traditional or archetypal story, in which the basic plot of the intertext imposes the pattern of action upon the receiving text. The interpretive proposal of this study suggests to look at these features aspects of contemporary capitalist society, whose social relations are based on the form of instrumental rationality typical of bourgeois society. The predominance of the general over the particular, that is, of the exchange value over use-value, which characterizes the commodity form in Marx\'s view, generalizes and expands its logic to all areas of reality. Converging with the formation of the value of the commodity, the work of art would share, to some extent, the reified thought of the social totality, according to Theodor Adorno. This interpretative proposal is brought to an end and its dialectical consequences discussed through the analysis of the short story \"El Zahir\" tale, belonging to the book \"El Aleph\", published in 1949 in Buenos Aires. In order to make this analysis possible, this study also includes an analysis of Edgar Allan Poe\'s short story \"Berenice\", with which \"El Zahir\" establishes a subtle yet productive dialogue. In addition, the short stories \" Funes, el memoriso, Tema del traidor y del héroe (Ficções, 1944) and La trama (El hacedor, 1960) have been commented or analyzed in this work.

No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissert Luiz Claudio Dias Renato.pdf: 8269957 bytes, checksum: f96703b860281547900a8b1314416b9d (MD5) Previous issue date: 2016-03-18 / O presente trabalho apresenta os principais aspectos técnicos relacionados ao estudo e análise do contrato de salvamento LOF com a cláusula SCOPIC incorporada. O objetivo deste trabalho é fazer a análise do conceito de salvamento de embarcações no Transporte Marítimo, através de um contrato de salvamento Lloyd’s Open Form (LOF) com a cláusula SCOPIC (Special Conpensation P&I Clause) incorporada ao contrato. Uma vez que há um acidente que envolva um salvamento no mar, há todo um processo a ser seguido, o que envolve a retirada de declarações, a avaliação dos perigos, quer para nomear peritos, escolhendo testemunhas, cálculo dos valores do salvado, prêmio de salvamento, os valores do SCOPIC, desembolsos imediatos, a escolha do SCR (Shipowner Casualty Representative), nomeação dos advogados que representam os salvadores, seguradores de casco e máquinas, P&I e de carga, assim como, a utilização dos conceitos da Convenção Internacional de Salvamento no Mar (CISM 1989), em especial os Artigos 13 e 14. A opção metodológica adotada consistiu numa pesquisa qualitativa por instrumento de questionário eletrônico e levantamento exploratório. Como resultado da aplicação, foi possível verificar que os envolvidos em uma aventura marítima consideram o contrato de salvamento LOF, com a cláusula SCOPIC incorporada, importantíssimo para a atividade comercial de transporte marítimo. Dessa forma o trabalho contribui cientificamente para análises futuras dos valores envolvidos em um prêmio de salvamento, o problema da terceirização dos serviços de salvamento, o dilema do crescente gigantismo dos navios mercantes e suas cargas e uma possível avaliação equivocada das condições do navio na ocasião do salvamento. / This work highlights the main technical aspects related to the study and analysis of the LOF salvage contract with the SCOPIC clause. The objective of this work is to analyze the concept of salvage vessels in maritime transport through a salvage agreement Lloyd's Open Form (LOF) with SCOPIC clause (Special Conpensation P&I Clause) incorporated into the contract. Since there is an accident involving one salvage at sea, there is a whole process to be followed, which involves statements, the hazards assessment, in order to appoint the surveyors and experts, choosing witnesses, calculation of the saved values, salvage award, SCOPIC of values, out of pockets, the choice of SCR (Shipowner Casualty Representatives), appointment of lawyers representing the salvors, H&M insurers (Hull and machinery), P&I Clubs and cargo, as well as the use of the International Convention’s Salvage at Sea (CISM 1989), in highlight the Articles 13 and 14. The method adopted. The methodological option adopted consisted of a search for "survey" and exploratory survey. As a result of the application, it found that those involved in a maritime adventure consider the LOF salvage contract with SCOPIC clause incorporated important to the shipping industry. This work contributes scientifically to further analyzes of the amounts involved in a salvage award, the problem of outsourcing of the salvage services, the dilemma of growing gigantism of merchant ships and their

Développement de méthodes probabilistes pour l'analyse des tolérances des systèmes mécaniques sur-contraints / Development of probabilistic methods for the tolerance analysis of overconstrained mechanisms

Dumas, Antoine 10 December 2014 (has links)
L'analyse des tolérances des mécanismes a pour but d'évaluer la qualité du produit lors de sa phase de conception. La technique consiste à déterminer si, dans une production de grandes séries, le taux de rebuts des mécanismes défaillants est acceptable. Deux conditions doivent être vérifiées: une condition d'assemblage et une condition fonctionnelle. La méthode existante se base sur le couplage de la simulation de Monte Carlo avec un algorithme d'optimisation qui est très couteuse en temps de calcul. L'objectif des travaux de thèse est de développer des méthodes plus efficaces basées sur des approches probabilistes. Dans un premier temps, il est proposé une linéarisation des équations non linéaires du modèle de comportement afin de simplifier l'étape faisant appel à l'algorithme d'optimisation. Une étude de l'impact de cette opération sur la qualité de la probabilité est menée. Afin de minimiser l'erreur d'approximation, deux procédures itératives pour traiter le problème d'assemblage sont proposées. Ils permettent de calculer la probabilité de défaillance d'assemblage de façon précise en un temps de calcul réduit. En outre, les travaux de thèse ont permis le développement d'une nouvelle méthode de résolution basée sur la méthode de fiabilité système FORM (First Order Reliability Method) système. Cette méthode permet de traiter uniquement le problème fonctionnel. Elle a nécessité la mise au point d'une nouvelle formulation du problème d'analyse des tolérances sous forme système. La formulation décompose le mécanisme hyperstatique en plusieurs configurations isostatiques, le but étant de considérer les configurations dominantes menant à une situation de défaillance. La méthode proposée permet un gain de temps considérable en permettant d'obtenir un résultat en quelques minutes, y compris pour atteindre des faibles probabilités. / Tolerance analysis of mechanism aims at evaluating product quality during its design stage. Technique consists in computing a defect probability of mechanisms in large series production. An assembly condition and a functional condition are checked. Current method mixes a Monte Carlo simulation and an optimization algorithm which is too much time consuming. The objective of this thesis is to develop new efficient method based on probabilistic approach to deal with the tolerance analysis of overconstrained mechanism. First, a linearization procedure is proposed to simplify the optimization algorithm step. The impact of such a procedure on the probability accuracy is studied. To overcome this issue, iterative procedures are proposed to deal with the assembly problem. They enable to compute accurate defect probabilities in a reduced computing time. Besides, a new resolution method based on the system reliability method FORM (First Order Reliability Method) for systems was developed for the functional problem. In order to apply this method, a new system formulation of the tolerance analysis problem is elaborated. Formulation splits up the overconstrained mechanism into several isoconstrained configurations. The goal is to consider only the main configurations which lead to a failure situation. The proposed method greatly reduces the computing time allowing getting result within minutes. Low probabilities can also be reached and the order of magnitude does not influence the computing time.
