Pryke, Lindsay, Dysart, and Dupuis (2004) investigated a novel method of lineup administration where participants made identifications from multiple lineups showing faces and bodies or playing recorded voices. Identifications from these multiple lineups was diagnostic of guilt; that is, the more lineups a person was selected from the more likely it was that the selected person was actually seen by the witness (as opposed to an innocent suspect; Pryke et al., 2004). The current studies expanded on this procedure and assessed how well the multiple lineup method works when each of the lineups for a target show faces of the same lineup members, with each lineup showing the members facing one of three angles. In Experiment 1, participants (n = 72) saw the targets in the same three views that were shown in the lineups and were asked to make lineup decisions for each of the three lineups. In Experiment 2, participants (n = 96) saw the targets in only one view, which did not always match the views seen in the lineups. Again, participants made lineup decisions for each of the three lineups. For both studies, when the data were collapsed across targets, the procedure was diagnostic in that more selections were associated with a higher probability of guilt (operationalized as being the previously seen target). However, the effectiveness of the procedure varied across targets such that in some cases multiple selections were no more diagnostic of guilt than single selections. Pryke et al., (2004) reported that multiple identifications were highly diagnostic of guilt but relatively rare. In the current studies, most participants made multiple identifications of the targets, probably because all of the lineups used photos of faces. Results for assessments of confidence-accuracy and advantages for certain lineup angles were generally mixed and often differed between the two studies. In all, the most pertinent assessments of utility (diagnosticity and percentage of participants making multiple identifications) showed promise for using multiple lineups of faces. / Thesis (Master, Psychology) -- Queen's University, 2009-10-01 16:22:03.154

Abstract Organizational Identity and Brand Identity are directly related to corporation future competitiveness and is an important factor to its competitive advantage. In a changing environment, an organization that has loyal, excellent and strong Organizational Identity that gain external recognition when reacting positively to this changes, will be able to maintain the organization¡¦s competitiveness. The recognition and value gained by the individual member for his ability to possess the traits or characteristics to be identified with the organization, brand, team or profession out-weights that of his personal characteristics like gender, age or nationality. Researchers have found that employee attitude towards organizational approval has a relation with the organization traits and behaviors. By setting Organizational and Brand Identity as Independent Variables, Employee Efficiency as Dependent Variables, and Organizational and Brand Affiliation as the Medium, this thesis will investigate their relationship in the casual clothing industry. Data were collected through questionnaires completed by employees engaging in sales and marketing activities of 22 brands in Taiwan. The data are analyzed after breaking them down into their respective factor analysis, correlation and block regression. The outcomes of the tests lead to the following conclusions: 1. The strength and fitness of Organizational Identity and Brand Identity have effect on Organizational Affiliation and Brand Affiliation. 2. The strength of Organizational Identity and Brand Identity has effect on employee efficiency. While holding working emotion constant, the fitness of Organizational Identity and Brand Identity has an effect on employee efficiency. 3. While holding working emotion constant, the strength of Organizational Identity and Brand Identity has effect on in addition to employee efficiency. The fitness also has effect in addition to employee efficiency. Furthermore, the fitness of Organizational Identity is not a medium for working emotion but Brand Identity is a medium for working emotion. 4. Other than the test for the effect on corporate citizen, Organizational Identity has greater effect than Brand Identity on the other tests done on employee efficiency. This research reveals that when the organization communicates with its employees, it has to be more sensitive towards the effects of Brand Identity relating to sales activities on its employee. Having considered the organization and brand characteristics, it can adopt the concept of Affiliation in the areas of recruitment, organization culture and personnel development by allowing its employees to improve characters or values. This will help in improving work efficiency.

Most researches done in recent time on the topics of Branding and Organization focus on investigating Brand Identification and Organization Identification, with lesser work done on the relationship between Brand Identity, Organizational Identity and employee efficiency. While Organization Identity has been a widely studied and recognized topic in the west for the past 20 years, it remains an alien name to researcher on organizational behaviors and practitioners in Taiwan¡]®}Þ³§D¡A¾G§BÀ¥¡A2003¡^. Moreover, Brand Identity is the next new-found research topic where western researchers attitude towards it had mostly stop on preliminary narration which was largely supplemented from the experience of sales and marketing area, with little work done from academic investigation. This thesis will investigate Brand Identity and Organizational Identity impact on employee efficiency. Through my experience in the luxury goods industry, branding display a unique characteristic. Its employee displayed certain level of loyalty towards its brand and hoped to identify his character through its brand. This thesis focuses on the apparel industry, drawing data from a major Italian apparel brand, competing brands identified by that Major Italian apparel company and other brands listed on an apparel website www.ApparelSearch.com. The author approaches these 32 brands and collected data through questionnaires. A total of 417 valid questionnaires were returned and data was analyzed with an aim of drawing an opinion towards these hypothesizes: i) Strong Organizational Identity and Brand Identity will have positive effect on Organizational Identification and Brand Identification. ii) Strong Organizational Identity and Brand Identity will have positive effect on employee efficiency (including organization commitment, organizational citizenship behavior, work emotions, job performance, job satisfaction and turnover rate). iii) Strong Organizational Identification and Brand Identification will have positive effect on employee efficiency. iv) The existence of Organizational Identification and Brand Identification weaken the relationship between Organizational Identity, Brand Identity and Employee efficiency. When the relationships weaken to negligible, the relationship between Organizational Identification, Brand Identification and employee efficiency strengthen.

M.Tech. (Information technology) / This research is concerned with establishing the causes for the slow adoption of biometric authentication in the South African banking sector and constitutes exploratory research. It looks at the widely accepted means of authentication and delves deeper into why these modes may not be sufficient to protect sensitive data. The scope of the research is limited to the banking sector only. The first sections of the study establish what the biometric authentication norms are amongst international banking institutions. This is then followed by an environmental study of the South African approach-to biometric authentication. Owing to the limited number of banks in South Africa compared to developed countries, the study is limited to the four major banking institutions in.South Africa, namely ABSA, Standard Bank, Nedbank and First National Bank. An online survey was used to g·ather the required data for analysis. The general approach adopted to investigate the extent to which biometric authentication is used by the said four banks was to first measure the respondents' knowledge of biometrics and to establish the level of exposure the respondents had to the said technology. The next step was then to establish the extent to which the participating banks had investigated the use of biometric authentication. This was followed by consideration of the current use of biometric authentication and lastly, the future use and user perceptions regarding various aspects of biometric authentication in the financial services sector. A matrix that identifies the factors perceived to be impacting the adoption of biometric authentication concludes the last chapter on user perception.

The main differences were explicit from the creation and recreation of Capoeira Angola and Regional during the 1930s, having seen that the two practices were constructed in opposition to one another. Thus, we seek to know the trajectories of some “angoleiros” and “angoleiras” in Goiânia, as well as understand the identifications of Capoeira Angola in this city. For this, we undertook fieldwork in three groups and interviews with members of the five groups in the city who identify with this aspect. Initially we differentiate between Capoeira Angola and Capoeira Regional, then we present the trajectories of “angoleiros” with emphasis on the pathways of the masters. We also held a debate on female’s in capoeira and women’s movements and existing. Finally, we debriefed the concepts of identity and identifications from the local reality. We believe there are two strains of Capoeira Angola that have differences from the ancestral form of references to understand and practice capoeira. Keywords: Capoeira, / A capoeira, como uma prática corporal de matriz africana que teve grande contribuição nos processos de resistência à escravidão, ganhou diversos sentidos e significados ao longo da história, a partir das necessidades e contextos locais. As principais diferenças ficaram explícitas desde a criação e recriação da Capoeira Angola e Regional durante a década de 1930, tendo em vista que as duas práticas foram construídas em oposição uma à outra. Destarte, buscamos conhecer as trajetórias de alguns angoleiros e angoleiras de Goiânia, bem como compreender as identificações da Capoeira Angola nesta cidade. Para isto, empreendemos um trabalho de campo em três grupos e entrevistas com integrantes dos cinco grupos da cidade que se identificam com esta vertente. Inicialmente fazemos uma diferenciação entre Capoeira Angola e Capoeira Regional. Em seguida, apresentamos as trajetórias dos(as) angoleiros(as) com ênfase nos percursos dos mestres. Realizamos também uma reflexão sobre a presença feminina na capoeira e os movimentos de mulheres existentes na capital goiana. Por último, fizemos um debate sobre os conceitos de identidade e identificações a partir da realidade local. Consideramos que existem na cidade duas linhagens de Capoeira Angola que possuem diferenças desde as referências ancestrais até a forma de compreender e praticar a capoeira.

Si l'on connaît les dictionnaires comme lieu des définitions, ils en fournissent une que l'on ne perçoit pas toujours : celle de la langue elle-même. Au sein de l'hétérogène et du mouvant des usages linguistiques quotidiens, ceux-ci en circonscrivent et délimitent un certain nombre, qui se verront alors consacrés, dotés d'une certaine officialité. Les critères de sélection par lesquels les éléments lexicaux sont retenus ou écartés dépendent, entre autres contraintes, des convictions de leurs auteurs concernant les usages linguistiques qu'ils considèrent comme plus représentatifs de la langue que d'autres. Souvent conscients tant du pouvoir social de tels ouvrages que de la sélection qu'ils impliquent, leurs auteurs s'en justifient parfois dans des paratextes introductifs où sont alors explicités leurs convictions linguistiques. Les discours que l'on y trouve peuvent se fonder sur des définitions, associations d'idées, et valorisations que les auteurs peuvent tenir pour acquis, ou au contraire les détourner, subvertir, contester ; quoiqu'il en soit, ils tentent souvent de fonder performativement une définition de la langue que la liste lexicale mettra ensuite en pratique. Dans certains contextes de conflictualité politique où la définition de la langue ne va pas de soi, les préfaces de dictionnaires peuvent alors devenir de véritables arènes où s'affronteront des définitions concurrentes de la langue que chacun tentera de faire reconnaître. En travaillant sur un corpus constitué des paratextes de dictionnaires bretons publiés de 1499 à 2015, nous analysons l'évolution des discours sur la langue en fonction des situations historiques, sociales, et politiques, où se trouvent les auteurs. Nous mettons l'accent en particulier sur différents processus discursifs, notamment ceux d'identification et de différenciation, par lesquels les auteurs délimitent les frontières entre les pairs et les autres, ainsi que ceux d'origination, par lesquels ils ancrent leur situation actuelle au sein de continuités et ruptures perpétuellement redessinées. Nous abordons ainsi en particulier la manière dont la définition des "Celtes" a évolué en fonction des différents contextes discursifs : désignant d'abord, dans le discours celtomane, une langue mère de toutes les autres dont la bretonne était la seule forme restée pure, l'usage du terme s'orientera progressivement vers une fonction distinctive envers leurs voisins français, ceci en accord avec l'émergence d'un cadre de pensée nationaliste. C'est à la même période, vers le XIXe siècle siècle, qu'apparaîtra l'interceltisme, comme thèse d'un cousinage ethnique entre les populations de certains territoires en petite et Grande-Bretagne. Nous étudions la manière dont ce discours, né de nécessités de différenciation politique, se transfère dans les catégorisations savantes, véhiculant en même temps son lot de concepts et méthodes implicites concernant la définition de la langue. Par ailleurs, les changements sociaux survenant au XXe siècle en Bretagne auront également pour conséquence un progressif clivage entre différents profils de locuteurs : à ceux pratiquant la langue dans un contexte surtout oral, pratique, et quotidien, dont le nombre diminue, se substituent progressivement des locuteurs l'apprenant dans une démarche volontariste et militante, à partir d'un rapport scriptural-scolaire à la langue. Cette cohabitation de locuteurs ayant appris et pratiquant la langue dans des situations différentes aura mettra en concurrence les définitions de la langue. Si les différents courants auront en commun une volonté de distinction envers le français héritée du discours différentialiste ayant émergé au XIXe siècle, chacun investira la nécessité de s'en distinguer dans des dimensions différentes de la langue, cohérentes par rapport à leurs modes de socialisation linguistique. (...) / Dictionaries are often seen a the place of the definitions, but very often the most important definition they give is not seen : the one concerning the language itself. Thus, while making their work, the authors have to make a selection of the words which will be retained and those which will not be taken in account. These choices rely on broader stances, related to their own convictions about what is "correct" language and what is not. The authors' convictions are themself influenced by the socio-historical context in which the dictionary is written, but they also shape the further definitions of the language, given the reliability granted to those kind of books. This work aims to seek the way in which the definition of breton language is given in the paratext (forewords, introductions, prefaces, postfaces) of breton dictionaries published between 1499 and 2015. In particular, we focus on some discursive processes such as identifications, differentiations, and originations, which are used by the authors in order to reconfigure the language's definition. A particular importance is given to the evolving use made of "Celts" in those definitions, and to the conflictuality in which they are set.

Cette recherche analyse les processus d’identifications collectives inhérents à unnationalisme ethnoculturel ainsi que les usages sociaux et politiques de la culture et de la"tradition". Elle porte sur les Roms en Roumanie post-communiste à l'heure de l'intégrationeuropéenne. Privilégiant une étude du nationalisme en deux champs, politique et quotidien,elle procède d'un terrain multi-situé basé sur l'ethnographie de la mobilisation ethnoculturelledes Roms de Roumanie et de familles roms en Roumanie et en France.Cette thèse postule l’émergence de la nation rom sur la scène nationale roumainecomme une construction récente, intrinsèque à la modernité et au nationalisme ethnoculturelrom roumain. En cela, ce dernier est exploré autour de trois axes qui sont les trois parties dethèse. Le premier, politico-historique, interroge la cristallisation du rapport à la culture enmiroir avec l'émergence du nationalisme ethnoculturel et du contexte de changement socialpropice à son avènement (post-communisme, démocratisation et multiculturalisme). Mêlanttrajectoires sociales de militants et analyses discursives, historiques et politiques, il revient surla genèse de l'opposition entre "Roms traditionnels" et "Roms roumanisés". Le second traitedes usages politiques de la "tradition" et de la "modernité" au travers des pratiques militanteset de l’analyse du discours sur la communauté de culture : la nation rom. Il illustre le rapportmoderne à la culture. Le dernier propose une description ethnographique du fonctionnementde l'ethnicité au travers de deux lignes d'analyse. La première appréhende la réception auprèsdes Roms militants et non militants de ce processus d'identification collective à la catégorierom. La seconde rend compte des logiques de l’appartenance ethnique et sociale au quotidien.Ces trois axes visent à interroger le lien entre construction d'une identification collective et etthnogenèse. / This research analyses the collective identification process resulting from anethnocultural nationalism as well as the social and political uses of culture and tradition. Itdeals with the Roma in post-communist Romania in the context of the European integration.Favoring a study of the nationalism in two fields, political and every day life, it proceeds by amulti-sited fieldwork based on the ethnography of the ethnocultural mobilization of Roma inRomania and focuses on roma families in Romania and France.This thesis postulates the emergence of Roma nation on the Romanian national sceneas a recent construction, intrinsic to modernity and to the roma Romanian ethnoculturalnationalism. Three themes make up the three parts of the thesis. The first, political-historical,questions the crystallization of the relation to culture in mirror with the emergence of theethnocultural nationalism and the context of social change favorable to it’s advent(postcomunism, democratization and multiculturalism). Reflecting upon the social trajectoriesof activists and bringing in discursive analysis, historical and political, it retraces the genesesof the opposition between “traditionnal roma” and “romanized roma”. The second deals withpolitical uses of tradition and modernity through militant practices and the analysis of thespeech on “community of culture” : the roma nation. It shows the modern relation to culture.The last suggests an ethnographic description of how ethnicity works through two lines ofanalysis. The first apprehends the reception from the roma militant and non-militant of thiscollective identification process to the roma category. The second reports the logics of socialand ethnic belonging in everyday life. This three themes aim at questioning the link betweenthe construction of collective identification and ethnogenesis.

Cette étude présente les caractéristiques des ressources ligneuses actuelles et archéologiques trouvés sur la côte ouest du Nunavik et documente leur collecte, exploitation et origine. L'étude de 1573 bois flottés provenant des plages d'Ivujivik, Akulivik, Inukjuak et Umiujaq révèle que ces derniers étaient moins nombreux, de plus petites tailles et plus dégradés dans les aires les plus au nord. Huit taxons ont été identifiés sous microscope. L'épinette était le taxon le plus abondant, suivi du saule, du mélèze, du peuplier et de l'aulne. Le cèdre blanc, le bouleau blanc et le sapin baumier étaient également présents mais extrêmement rares. La composition des 293 bois archéologiques, 550 charbons et 11 artefacts en bois provenant de 11 sites archéologiques dans les quatre zones d'études n'était guère différente. Des charbons de pin rouge ou pin sylvestre et de châtaignier, importés, ont néanmoins été découverts dans un site archéologique à Ivujivik. De plus, de nombreux charbons d'éricacées probablement locaux ainsi que du chêne ont été trouvés dans les sites archéologiques aux alentours d'Umiujaq. La présence du cèdre blanc et du bouleau blanc dans les amas de bois flottés actuels et archéologiques témoignent d'une origine des bois au sud et sud-est de la Baie de James, ce qui est également appuyé par les études comparatives et interdatations des largeurs moyennes de cernes de croissance. Des entrevues avec 27 Aînés dans les quatre villages révèlent que le vocabulaire du bois était plus diversifié dans les villages les plus méridionaux. Les arbustes étaient coupés en automne et utilisés pour la confection de matelas ou pour le feu. Les plus gros bois étaient prioritairement utilisés pour la construction des bateaux, des kayaks et traîneaux. A Ivujivik, les bois flottés étaient principalement collectés l'été par bateau autour des îles. Plus au sud, les gros bois étaient collectés ou coupés l'hiver puis rapportés par traîneaux à chiens. Finalement, les expérimentations visant à différencier chimiquement un bois flotté d'un bois coupé pour en déduire le mode de collecte des gros bois archéologiques, ont montré un plus fort enrichissement en sodium dans les bois immergés. Des analyses en composantes principales (ACP), basées sur les concentrations relatives des cations, montrent que les données des bois immergés et des bois secs peuvent être séparés en deux groupes. La complémentarité de ces recherches xylologiques, anthracologiques, radiométriques, dendrochronologiques, sociales et chimiques sur les ressources ligneuses au Nunavik apporte des connaissances inédites sur cette matière première fondamentale dans la vie quotidienne des Inuits et de leurs ancêtres. / This study presents the characteristics of modern and archaeological wood resources found on the west coast of Nunavik and documents their collection, use and origin. The study of 1573 driftwood samples from beaches around Ivujivik, Akulivik, Inukjuak and Umiujaq reveals that these woods were fewer, smaller sizes and more degraded in more northern areas. Eight taxa were identified under a microscope. Spruce was the most abundant taxon, followed by willow, larch, poplar and alder. White cedar, white birch and balsam fir were also present but extremely rare. The composition of the 293 woods, 550 charcoals and 11 wooden artifacts from 11 archaeological sites in the four study areas was not different. However, charcoals of red pine and chestnut, imported, were found at an archeological site in Ivujivik. In addition, many local ericaceous charcoals and an oak sample were found at the archaeological sites around Umiujaq. The presence of white cedar and white birch in both modern and archaeological wood samples indicated that the wood originated to the south and southeast of James Bay. This conclusion is also supported by the comparative studies and cross-dating of the average growth rings. Interviews with 27 elders from the four villages showed that wood vocabulary was more diversified in the southern villages. Shrubs were cut in autumn and used for making mattresses or fire. The larger driftwood pieces were primarily used for the construction of boats, kayaks or sleds. In Ivujivik, driftwood samples were mainly collected in summer by boat around the islands. Further south, the large wood pieces were collected or cut in winter and carried by dogsled. Finally, experiments we performed to chemically differentiate driftwood from cut wood in order to help to deduce the collection method of the large archaeological wood specimens, showed a stronger enrichment in sodium in the submerged woods. Principal component analyses (PCA), based on the relative concentrations of cations, show that the immersed and dry samples can be separated in two groups. The complementarity of these xylological, anthracological, radiometric, dendrochronological, social and chemical studies on wood resources in Nunavik provides unprecedented knowledge on this essential raw material in the daily life for the Inuit and their ancestors.
