Tillförlitlighet hos Big Social Data : En fallstudie om upplevd problematik kopplat till beslutfattande i en organisationskontextRangnitt, Eric, Wiljander, Louise January 2020 (has links)
Den växande globala användningen av sociala medier skapar enorma mängder social data online, kallat för Big Social Data (BSD). Tidigare forskning lyfter problem med att BSD ofta har bristande tillförlitlighet som underlag vid beslutsfattande och att det är starkt kopplat till dataoch informationskvalitet. Det finns dock en avsaknad av forskning som redogör för praktikers perspektiv på detta. Därför undersökte denna studie vad som upplevs problematiskt kring transformation av BSD till tillförlitlig information för beslutsfattande i en organisationskontext, samt hur detta skiljer sig i teori jämfört med praktik. En fallstudie gjordes av mjukvaruföretaget SAS Institute (SAS). Datainsamlingen genomfördes via intervjuer samt insamling av dokument och resultaten analyserades kvalitativt. Studien gjorde många intressanta fynd gällande upplevda problem kopplat till transformation av BSD, bl.a. hög risk för partisk data och låg analysmognad, samt flera skillnader mellan teori och praktik. Tidigare forskning gör inte heller skillnad mellan begreppen datakvalitet och informationskvalitet, vilket görs i praktiken. / The growing use of social media generates enormous amounts of online social data, called Big Social Data (BSD). Previous research highlights problems with BSD reliability related to decision making, and that reliability is strongly connected to data quality and information quality. However, there is a lack of research with a focus on practitioners’ perspectives on this matter. To address this gap, this study set out to investigate what is perceived as a problem when transforming BSD into reliable information for decision making in an organisational context, and also how this differs in theory compared with practice. A case study was conducted of the software company SAS Institute (SAS). Data collection was done through interviews and gathering of documents, and results were analysed qualitatively. The study resulted in many interesting findings regarding perceived problems connected to the transformation of BSD, e.g. high risk of biased data and low maturity regarding data analysis, as well as several differences between theory and practice. Furthermore, previous research makes no distinction between the terms data quality and information quality, but this is done in practice.

Certitude, évidence et vérité chez Descartes : La question du fondement cartésien de la connaissance / Certainty, evidence and truth in Descartes : The question of the cartesian foundation of knowledgePeretti, François-Xavier de 01 March 2014 (has links)
Une des interprétations dominantes de la philosophie de Descartes consiste à considérer que Dieu garantit une parfaite correspondance entre l'ordre des raisons et l'ordre des choses, de sorte que nos idées peuvent être tenues pour conformes à la réalité telle qu'elle est hors de notre pensée. Nous suggérons que Descartes n'a jamais espéré faire jouer ce rôle à Dieu dans sa théorie de la connaissance et qu'il n'a pas plus prétendu que nous soyons assurés de disposer d'idées adéquates à ce qu'est la réalité hors de notre pensée. Pour cela, nous soutenons que l'importance accordée par Descartes à l'hypothèse d'un Dieu trompeur, est largement surestimée par les commentateurs, et qu'elle ne sert qu'à justifier, par contrecoup, le rôle que la véracité divine ne joue pas dans sa philosophie première. Nous défendons la thèse selon laquelle le fondement de la vérité revient, en ultime instance, chez Descartes, à l'"ego cogitans", de sorte que la vérité, du point de vue de l'esprit humain, n'est pas ce à quoi la pensée doit d'être conforme, mais ce qui ne peut qu'être conforme à notre pensée. Par conséquent, nous suggérons que l'ego joue, par défaut, dans la philosophie première de Descartes, le rôle trop souvent accordé à Dieu par ses commentateurs. / One of the dominant interpretations of Descartes' philosophy consists in considering that God assures a perfect conformity between the order of reasons and the order of things, in such a way that our ideas can be regarded in accordance with the reality such as it is out of our thought. We suggest that Descartes has never hoped that God could play this part in his theory of knowledge and that he has no more claim that we would be certain of having adequate ideas according to the reality as it is out of our thought. In this aim, we argue that the importance conceded by Descartes in favour of the deceiving God argument is widely over-valued by the scholars, and that it is used only to justify, by repercussion, the part that the veracity of God doesn't play in Descartes' first philosophy. We defend the thesis from which the foundation of the truth in Descartes' philosophy is, in the final analysis, built on the "ego cogitans" in such a way that the truth, for the human mind, is not what the mind has to conform to, but what is necessary conformed to our mind. Consequently, we suggest that the ego, in Descartes' first philosophy, plays, in absence, the role too frequently awarded to God by the scholars.

Fundamentos teóricos de la entrevista en prensaGobantes Bilbao, Maite 11 June 2008 (has links)
Fundamentos teóricos de la entrevista periodística escrita es una contribución a establecer las bases de este género periodístico desde un enfoque multidisciplinar. Esta tesis traza un estado de la cuestión de los estudios sobre este género y profundiza en las relaciones entre la entrevista y otras narrativas del mundo de las ciencias sociales y de la literatura de ficción y veri dicente. Con el objetivo de ampliar la perspectiva del objeto de estudio, se establecen varios presupuestos filosóficos de la entrevista en tanto que encuentro entre dos personas: de la cuestión de la intersubjetividad trascendental a las aportaciones de la pragmática lingüística, entendida como una filosofía del lenguaje. La tesis transita asimismo por los trabajos de diversos pensadores que han situado en el centro de sus investigaciones conceptos como "alteridad", "relación", "diálogo". La investigación propone así mismo una definición de entrevista en prensa, así como una nueva tipología de la entrevista basada en un criterio funcionalista. / Theoretical foundations of the written interview in journalism are a contribution that sets the bases of this journalist genre from a multidisciplinary approach. This thesis questions the studies on this genre as well as penetrating into the correlation between the interview and other narratives of the world of social science, including fiction and non-fictional literature. Aiming at extending the perspective of the study, several philosophical points of view, those that defined interviews as the meeting of two people, were taking into consideration. From the question of the transcendental subjectivity, to the contributions of the pragmatic linguistics, understood as a philosophy of the language. This thesis evolves around the works of several philosophers who have placed concepts such as "alterity", "relationship" and "dialogue" in the center of their researches. The thesis proposes a definition of interview in press as well as a new typology of the interview based on functionalist criteria

Second language bias and accuracy of deception judgmentsVan Vuuren, Hermanus Hendrik Janse 01 1900 (has links)
This study examined the ability of students to correctly discern between truthful and deceptive messages from a group of second language English speakers. Recent studies have found a ‘lie bias’ when making veracity judgments towards second language speakers. This lie bias may be problematic in a country such as South Africa where the majority of the population communicate, to a greater or lesser extent, in their second language. In this study participants (n=64) made classifications of 24 messages as either truthful or deceptive. The messages were created by second language English speakers who were asked to describe a truthful or deceptive event. The results revealed that there was a significant difference between the way that first and second language participants made their judgments. It is argued that this difference can be attributed to the notion that second language participants require more cognitive effort, than their first language counterparts, to understand and classify messages. / Psychology / M.

Le prove della veridicità della profezia secondo il teologo Al-Mawardi : L’autore, l’opera e il suo approccio teologico / Les preuves de la véracité de la prophétie selon le théologien Al-mawardi ( m.450/1058) : L’auteur, l’oeuvre et son approche théologiquePalummieri, Giuseppe 21 December 2011 (has links)
Dans cette étude, nous nous sommes assigné pour but d’examiner particulièrement les aspects théologiques de A‘lām al-nubuwwa d’al-Māwardī (m.450/1058) en considérant la véracité (sidq) de la prophétie comme le noyau de son livre. La comparaison minutieuse entre les différentes éditions examinées nous a conduit à conclure que l’édition parue au Caire en 1901 et établie sur un manuscrit original est le texte de base, et que la dernière édition parue à Beyrouth en 1994 est le texte standard sur lequel nous avons fondé l’analyse théorique des questions théologiques abordées. Pour arriver à ce résultat, nous sont apparues de grande utilité les récentes méthodes de philologie des textes imprimés appliquées d’une façon novatrice aux textes arabes. La partie centrale de notre étude est consacrée au contenu du texte original de A‘lām al-nubuwwa alors identifié et partiellement traduit. Elle a mis en lumière l’approche essentiellement apologétique de l’auteur qui se manifeste notamment dans son style de réfutation usant la théologie dialectique pour des fins argumentatives. L’approche apologétique se manifeste aussi dans le recours à des matériaux devenus habituels dans ce genre littéraire, à savoir les traditions rapportées. Le thème de la prophétie représente une partie importante de la Summa theologica islamica, et de ce point de vue A‘lām al-nubuwwa peut être considéré comme une œuvre proprement théologique. Al-Māwardī apparaît à cet égard comme un vrai théologien dialectique dans la ligne du courant sunnite et selon une orientation aš‘arite, même s’il ait été à plusieurs reprises soupçonné d’appartenir au mu‘tazilisme. / During the course of our work we aimed for an objective that allowed us to highlight essentially the theological aspects of A‘lām al-nubuwwa by al-Māwardī (m.450/1058) taking into consideration the veracity (sidq) of the prophecy the train d’union in all its’work. The meticulous comparison of the differents editions we have studied permitted us to individualize the first edition ‘Cairo 1901’, based on the original manuscript, as the ‘basic text’ and the last edition ‘Beirut 1994’ as the ‘standard text’ on which we founded our research and on which we concentrated during the course of the theoretical analysis of the theological themes dealt with. Therefore, we considered to follow to this end the recent methodology of the philology of edited texts which was an innovative application in regards to an Arab script. The focal part of our study was based upon the partially translated original contents of A‘lām al-nubuwwa. It is from this that we can highlight a prevailing apologetic tone on behalf of the author, this is the indisputable style through which the argumentative use of dialectical theology but also the frequent use of the referred traditions. The prophecy theme represents a conspicuous part of the Summa theologica islamica and it is for this reason that the A‘lām al-nubuwwa can be considered an imprint of theological work. Al-Māwardī appears to be, in this respect a real ‘dialectical’ theologian in line with the Sunnite current alongside a characteristic orientation towards aš‘arita, even if often is suspected of being part of the mu‘tazila.

Action in Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: an Enactive Psycho-phenomenological and Semiotic Analysis of Thirty New Zealand Women's Experiences of Suffering and RecoveryHart, M J Alexandra January 2010 (has links)
This research into Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) presents the results of 60 first-person psycho-phenomenological interviews with 30 New Zealand women. The participants were recruited from the Canterbury and Wellington regions, 10 had recovered. Taking a non-dual, non-reductive embodied approach, the phenomenological data was analysed semiotically, using a graph-theoretical cluster analysis to elucidate the large number of resulting categories, and interpreted through the enactive approach to cognitive science.
The initial result of the analysis is a comprehensive exploration of the experience of CFS which develops subject-specific categories of experience and explores the relation of the illness to universal categories of experience, including self, ‘energy’, action, and being-able-to-do.
Transformations of the self surrounding being-able-to-do and not-being-able-to-do were shown to elucidate the illness process.
It is proposed that the concept ‘energy’ in the participants’ discourse is equivalent to the Mahayana Buddhist concept of ‘contact’. This characterises CFS as a breakdown of contact. Narrative content from the recovered interviewees reflects a reestablishment of contact.
The hypothesis that CFS is a disorder of action is investigated in detail.
A general model for the phenomenology and functional architecture of action is proposed. This model is a recursive loop involving felt meaning, contact, action, and perception and appears to be phenomenologically supported.
It is proposed that the CFS illness process is a dynamical decompensation of the subject’s action loop caused by a breakdown in the process of contact.
On this basis, a new interpretation of neurological findings in relation to CFS becomes possible. A neurological phenomenon that correlates with the illness and involves a brain region that has a similar structure to the action model’s recursive loop is identified in previous research results and compared with the action model and the results of this research. This correspondence may identify the brain regions involved in the illness process, which may provide an objective diagnostic test for the condition and approaches to treatment.
The implications of this model for cognitive science and CFS should be investigated through neurophenomenological research since the model stands to shed considerable light on the nature of consciousness, contact and agency.
Phenomenologically based treatments are proposed, along with suggestions for future research on CFS. The research may clarify the diagnostic criteria for CFS and guide management and treatment programmes, particularly multidimensional and interdisciplinary approaches.
Category theory is proposed as a foundation for a mathematisation of phenomenology.
