Central para esta pesquisa é a noção de que as disciplinas diferem na sua formação histórica, nos seus processos de institucionalização na academia, na maneira em que se organizam para produzir conhecimento, na forma em que trocam idéias e divulgam suas informações. Essas diferenças se refletem nos respectivos padrões de comunicação de seus pesquisadores e nas diversas formas de divulgar seus resultados de pesquisa. Este estudo se assenta em dados quantitativos e qualitativos, coletados sobre algumas universidades brasileiras selecionadas, no total de 14, com cursos de pós-graduação, em nível de Mestrado e Doutorado Acadêmico, na área de Direito, recomendados e reconhecidos pela CAPES, com conceito mínimo de 5 (numa escala de 7 no máximo). Em uma seleção da produção intelectual dos 14 programas entre os anos de 2004 a 2006, os resultados mostram que os pesquisadores que trabalham na área de Direito, no Brasil, tendem a publicar mais livros do que artigos em periódicos. Este estudo também fornece evidência de que a área tem uma forte preferência por revistas editadas pela própria Instituição (periódicos in-house) e este parece ser um traço peculiar deste campo de pesquisa no Brasil. Além disto, o hábito de trabalhos coletivos é uma prática pouco difundida na área. Para compreender a dinâmica desta comunidade científica, alguns especialistas desta disciplina, mais especificamente, alguns líderes de grupos foram selecionados para a realização de entrevistas. Assim, para alcançar uma perspectiva mais abrangente, este estudo contrapôs os dados quantitativos obtidos com as 20 entrevistas realizadas com os líderes de grupos de pesquisa das IES selecionadas, no intuito de explicar junto aos pesquisadores, os comportamentos observados. Munido destes dados, este estudo busca vislumbrar ângulos peculiares do processo de produção de conhecimento, fazendo um mapeamento das redes seletivas de autores e de comunicação que resultam em citações, observando o seu processo social, a responsabilidade e poder político dos pesquisadores nesta ciência, em especial / Abstract: The objective of this study is to analyze the dynamics of knowledge production in the area of law in Brazil, through the elucidation of the practices of social organization in terms of the formation of research groups, sources of influence on the choice of themes and lines of research, the ways in which such academic community appropriates the communication channels that disseminate their production and takes decisions on the bibliographic sources that inform their own studies. Central to this research is the notion that disciplines differ in their historical formation, in the processes of institutionalization in academia, in the way they are organized to produce knowledge in the form in which they exchange ideas and disseminate their information. These differences are reflected in their patterns of communication among researchers and in different ways to disseminate their research results. This study is based on quantitative and qualitative data collected on some selected universities, totaling 14, with post-graduate programs offering master and PhD degrees in the field of law, which have been evaluated by CAPES (Brazilian Agency for Higher Education), and received at least a grade 5 (on a scale up maximum 7). In a selection of the intellectual output of the 14 programs between the years 2004 to 2006, the results show that researchers working in the area of law in Brazil tend to publish more books than journal articles. Moreover, and this seems to be a peculiar trait of this research field in Brazil, articles tend to appear in journals edited by the universities themselves (in-house journals). In addition the habit of collective work is a practice little known in the area. To understand the dynamics of the scientific community, some specialists in this discipline, more specifically, some group leaders were selected for interviews. Thus, to achieve a broader perspective, this study contrasted the quantitative data obtained with the 20 interviews with leaders of research groups of the HEIs selected in order to explain with the scientists, the behaviors observed. Armed with this data, this study seeks to discern peculiar angles to the process of knowledge production, causing a selective mapping of networks of authors and communication that result in citations, observing their social process, accountability and political power of the researchers in this science in special / Doutorado / Politica Cientifica e Tecnologica / Mestre em Política Científica e Tecnológica

Para tanto, o estudo focaliza um mercado escolar concreto, o de escolas internacionais da cidade de São Paulo, e examina a gênese desse espaço escolar, tributário tanto das transformações na estrutura social da cidade, associadas ao crescimento econômico e à industrialização, como das diferentes modalidades de relação com outros estados nacionais, entre 1880 e 1945. Inicialmente, a análise revela os esforços de determinados grupos de estrangeiros para criar escolas de alto nível para seus filhos. Utilizadas por grupos em franca ascensão material, tais escolas permitiram a acumulação estratégica do capital simbólico necessário às lutas por diferenciação e inserção mais qualificada e legítima na sociedade brasileira. Em seguida, focaliza-se as alianças implementadas entre frações das elites brasileiras, intelectuais franceses e governo francês que, frente à ameaça de concorrência representada pelos grupos imigrantes em ascensão e suas escolas de alto nível, investiram recursos econômicos e simbólicos na fundação de um liceu francês em São Paulo, destinado à formação de futuros dirigentes.A criação desse liceu aparece como um passo importante no processo de construção da nacionalidade e seu estudo vincula processos de emergência e consolidação dos Estados Nação às lutas pela definição de uma cultura nacional, mostrando o lugar privilegiado ocupado pela escola nesses processos / Abstract: This research paper examines one of the facets of the growth process of private schooling in Brazil and particularly the conditions that affected the development of such international schools. In order to do so, this study focuses on specific strata of schooling, the international schools in the city of Sao Paulo. It examines the birth of such schools generated by both the changing social structure of the city as well as the different kinds of relationships with other national states between 1880 and 1945. To begin with, the analysis reveals the struggle of specific groups of immigrants in creating high leveI schools for their children. Such schools were used by groups seeking a higher standard of living and believed that attendance at such institutions would guarantee an eventual high placement in Brazilian society. Next, specific focus is given to the alliances created by factions of the Brazilian elite, French intellectuals, and the French government. These factions, when faced with the threat of competition from other emerging immigrant groups and their advanced schools, invested monetarily and symbolically in the founding of a French lyceum in Sao Paulo in order to provided for the education of their future leaders. The creation of this lyceum appears to us to be an important building block in the creation of a sense of Brazilian nationalism, and while created by distinct ethnic groups for their advancement, this lyceum has been perceived as an important step in the development of both a Brazilian nationality and cultural identity similar to that which was emerging in other parts of the world in the form of nation-states / Doutorado / Educação, Conhecimento, Linguagem e Arte / Mestre em Educação

Aim: The aim of this study is to investigate factors that people with a past addiction problem expressed have promoted their recovery process. Method: This qualitative study is based on an inductive approach using the theory of sense of self. Data was collected through four [4] semi-structured interviews, a narrative based technique that focus on stories in a whole. The interviews were analysed using thematic analysis. Results: The thematic analysis resulted in three main themes; to be attractive, a new context and community, people and events that made an impression. Conclusion: The importance of gaining access to a new context, a context that contributed with alternative ways of life. A context where individuals can reflect themselves in other people's experiences with it a better or a more positive understanding of themselves and their situation. And that the recovery process from an overall perspective, shows the importance of meeting the many needs of the client.

The Second Joint Research Conference of the Universities of Gloucestershire and Chemnitz took place at the Chemnitz University of Technology from 09th to 11th of September 2009. There were presenters from seven different nations in the lecture theatre. The very close partnership of the two institutions is characterised by a very active student exchange programme, joint teaching modules and some collaborative research which has been extended after the conference as well as several extracurricular guest lectures. In 2007 our friends from Gloucester invited us to our first joint conference and set the standard. The topics of the 2009 Conference were Public health and Sports with three main areas of interest: 1. Physiology and Biomechanics, 2. Philosophy and Social Science, 3. Prevention, Rehabilitation and Health Promotion. Many interesting and inspiring presentations were given by colleagues, PhD students and research students. One example of inspiration was the Clem Burke Drumming Project (S. Draper and M. Smith), which we were kindly invited to join. This is an example par excellence on how to conduct international research by simply using existing resources and talking to each other. It caused huge interest among colleagues across the whole university that Chemnitz did not only follow the example of our colleagues in Gloucester, but also widened the research interest into the application of different types of drumming as a means of therapy. This was the beginning of the DRUM BEAT Project (P. Wright of the Chair of Sports Medicine). Furthermore, both universities - Chemnitz and Gloucester - are trying to establish outreaching programmes with local communities which have practical implications of research in the context of public health and/or health promotion. One of the presentations for instance referred to a concept called the Healthy Town Project Tewkesbury, a similar project is planned for Chemnitz called Healthy Community. These two outreaching programmes and other research synergies could be part of an attempt of both universities to establish stronger international research links and in this context also submitting joint proposals to funding agencies, i.e. the EU. Since this conference a joint EU research proposal was submitted by colleagues in Gloucester. Also, talks were held on the topic of establishing a joint international degree. Understandably a project of this scale will take more than a couple of conferences and work on both sides is necessary and last but not least is also depending on the political and funding situation. However, first small step was taken after the conference by conducting a joint teaching module in the Ore Mountains /Saxony. Students from both institutions and colleagues conducted a research project comparing physiological and cognitive parameters of cross-country skiing and running. Social and intercultural processes were just as important during this winter camp. Some of the data is presented in this book. I trust that the colleagues of both universities do agree that this is an outstanding and very productive partnership with a lot of potential for future development and I am looking forward to many more joint schemes, projects and conferences to come - perhaps even an international degree.

abstract: What causes social systems to resist change? Studies of the emergence of social complexity in archaeology have focused primarily on drivers of change with much less emphasis on drivers of stability. Social stability, or the persistence of social systems, is an essential feature without which human society is not possible. By combining quantitative modeling (Exponential Random Graph Modeling) and the comparative archaeological record where the social system is represented by networks of relations between settlements, this research tests several hypotheses about social and geographic drivers of social stability with an explicit focus on a better understanding of contexts and processes that resist change. The Valencian Bronze Age in eastern Spain along the Mediterranean, where prior research appears to indicate little, regional social change for 700 years, serves as a case study. The results suggest that social stability depends on a society’s ability to integrate change and promote interdependency. In part, this ability is constrained or promoted by social structure and the different, relationship dependencies among individuals that lead to a particular social structure. Four elements are important to constraining or promoting social stability—structural cohesion, transitivity and social dependency, geographic isolation, and types of exchange. Through the framework provided in this research, an archaeologist can recognize patterns in the archaeological data that reflect and promote social stability, or lead to collapse. Results based on comparisons between the social networks of the Northern and Southern regions of the Valencian Bronze Age show that the Southern Region’s social structure was less stable through time. The Southern Region’s social structure consisted of competing cores of exchange. This type of competition often leads to power imbalances, conflict, and instability. Strong dependencies on the neighboring Argaric during the Early and Middle Bronze Ages and contributed to the Southern Region’s inability to maintain social stability after the Argaric collapsed. Furthermore, the Southern Region participated in the exchange of more complex technology—bronze. Complex technologies produce networks with hub and spoke structures highly vulnerable to collapse after the destruction of a hub. The Northern Region’s social structure remained structurally cohesive through time, promoting social stability. / Dissertation/Thesis / Webpage with data tables and R code / Doctoral Dissertation Anthropology 2020

abstract: Internet memes have become a widespread tool used by people for interacting and exchanging ideas over social media, blogs, and open messengers. Internet memes most commonly take the form of an image which is a combination of image, text, and humor, making them a powerful tool to deliver information. Image memes are used in viral marketing and mass advertising to propagate any ideas ranging from simple commercials to those that can cause changes and development in the social structures like countering hate speech. This work proposes to treat automatic image meme generation as a translation process, and further present an end to end neural and probabilistic approach to generate an image-based meme for any given sentence using an encoder-decoder architecture. For a given input sentence, a meme is generated by combining a meme template image and a text caption where the meme template image is selected from a set of popular candidates using a selection module and the meme caption is generated by an encoder-decoder model. An encoder is used to map the selected meme template and the input sentence into a meme embedding space and then a decoder is used to decode the meme caption from the meme embedding space. The generated natural language caption is conditioned on the input sentence and the selected meme template. The model learns the dependencies between the meme captions and the meme template images and generates new memes using the learned dependencies. The quality of the generated captions and the generated memes is evaluated through both automated metrics and human evaluation. An experiment is designed to score how well the generated memes can represent popular tweets from Twitter conversations. Experiments on Twitter data show the efficacy of the model in generating memes capable of representing a sentence in online social interaction. / Dissertation/Thesis / Masters Thesis Computer Science 2020

abstract: Millions of users leave digital traces of their political engagements on social media platforms every day. Users form networks of interactions, produce textual content, like and share each others' content. This creates an invaluable opportunity to better understand the political engagements of internet users. In this proposal, I present three algorithmic solutions to three facets of online political networks; namely, detection of communities, antagonisms and the impact of certain types of accounts on political polarization. First, I develop a multi-view community detection algorithm to find politically pure communities. I find that word usage among other content types (i.e. hashtags, URLs) complement user interactions the best in accurately detecting communities. Second, I focus on detecting negative linkages between politically motivated social media users. Major social media platforms do not facilitate their users with built-in negative interaction options. However, many political network analysis tasks rely on not only positive but also negative linkages. Here, I present the SocLSFact framework to detect negative linkages among social media users. It utilizes three pieces of information; sentiment cues of textual interactions, positive interactions, and socially balanced triads. I evaluate the contribution of each three aspects in negative link detection performance on multiple tasks. Third, I propose an experimental setup that quantifies the polarization impact of automated accounts on Twitter retweet networks. I focus on a dataset of tragic Parkland shooting event and its aftermath. I show that when automated accounts are removed from the retweet network the network polarization decrease significantly, while a same number of accounts to the automated accounts are removed randomly the difference is not significant. I also find that prominent predictors of engagement of automatically generated content is not very different than what previous studies point out in general engaging content on social media. Last but not least, I identify accounts which self-disclose their automated nature in their profile by using expressions such as bot, chat-bot, or robot. I find that human engagement to self-disclosing accounts compared to non-disclosing automated accounts is much smaller. This observational finding can motivate further efforts into automated account detection research to prevent their unintended impact. / Dissertation/Thesis / Doctoral Dissertation Computer Science 2019

The aim of this study is to investigate the factors ethnicity and social class and how this affects the language development of elementary school students. To be able to fulfill our purpose with this study, we have selected one question to be answered. The following question is: "How can teachers contribute to language development teaching for students with different ethnicities and social classes in the society?". Our information was gathered from two databases with scientific articles accessible for us students in Malmo University. We have used databases Eric ProQuest and ERIC EBSCO. The searching was done in English for a successful finding of relevant sources and a literature search in survey has been done in the Malmo University's library and well-known researchers. The result, conclusion and discussion has shown that second language students in a low social class have poorer conditions and opportunities for improved language development compared to students in a high social class background. This study also shows that these students have a tendency to lack Swedish language knowledge due to low social class in the family background. The result, conclusion and discussion mostly shows that teachers have a hard time to meet second language students of different social class backgrounds in the best way for their language development. Research in the result chapter shows that social class and ethnicity should be taken into account by teachers in their pedagogical planning. In the socially oriented subjects, teachers should higlight the two factors and neutralize them in the teaching. From this, teachers should keep in mind that the two factors can affect students' language development and hence apply this complexity to the didactic question "who?". To prevent differences in the classroom, can genre pedagogy be a solution to include all pupils to encourage language development, regardless of social or ethnic background in the classroom.

Today’s modern society is multicultural, school is therefore a meeting place for pupils withdifferent experiences, prior knowledge, and mother tongue. Second language students whohave not yet developed good skills in various subject languages, face several challenges inupper secondary school. To succeed in different school subjects these students need todevelop language that is specialized for each school subject. The purpose of this study is toexamine how social science teachers in the upper secondary school experience and work withsecond language students who have difficulties with content-based language. The appliedmethod in the study is qualitative interviews. The theoretical framework is based on differentconcepts of literacy to analyze the results. The results in this study show that the teachers useboth similar and different methods to develop second language students’ understanding ofconcepts, reading, and writing skills, subject language, and subject knowledge. However,several differences between teachers’ perceptions and approaches are also discerned. Theteachers in this study understand the importance of placing the language in focus within thesubject, however some of the teachers experience difficulties with integrating language andsubject into the teaching.

Web surveys in higher education are particularly important for assessing the quality of academic teaching and learning. Traditionally, mainly quantitative data is used for quality assessment. Increasingly, questions are being raised about the impact of attitudes of the individuals involved. Therefore, especially the analysis of open-ended text responses in web surveys offers the potential for impact evaluation. Despite the fact that qualitative text mining and sentiment analysis are being introduced in other research areas, these instruments are still slowly gaining access to evaluation research. On the one hand, there is a lack of methodological expertise to deal with large numbers of text responses (e.g. via semantic analysis, linguistically supported coding, etc.). On the other hand, deficiencies in interdisciplinary expertise are identified in order to be able to contextualize the results. The following contribution aims to address these issues. The presentation will contribute to the field of impact evaluation and reveals methodological implications for the development of text mining and sentiment analysis in evaluation processes.
