Abstract:
AbstractThe Big Man has attracted considerable attention from social scientists, both as an explanatory force as well as a phenomenon to be explained. But the concept has become unmoored from its original meaning. Once used to refer to an apex figure within a patrimonial regime, today Big Men are often described as dictators or thieves. I show this using an original dataset covering discussions of Big Men in leading African Studies journals since 1980. I find that authors, especially political scientists, overemphasise theft and underemphasise accountability of Big Men. Then, drawing on my research with Ghanaian local politicians, I show how Big Men are constantly under pressure from their supporters. The paper concludes with a modest call to put the Big Man back in his place as powerful but also empowered, and thus indebted, to those beneath him.

Abstract:
El proyecto de tesis se enfoca en la intersección de dos vertientes del arte, dos posturas que se definen en un análisis  crítico de la institución museística. Estas vertientes se identifican en dos posturas, como ya lo mencionaba anteriormente: una noción de una  desmaterialización que no es sino la negación del objeto. Y por otra parte, los site-especify que se sitúan en lugares determinados para la obra excluyendo el museo de esa definición. En la noción del desmaterial entraría en esa categoría general prácticas artísticas como la performance, el conceptualismmo, el minimalismo y el video por mencionar algunos. En ambas corrientes se produce una exploración, ya sea del material o de las dimensiones. Esta exploración es la que pone en duda la función del museo.

Title:Laypeople'sdescription of real estate agents  Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degrees in Business Administration Author:Moa Englund and Kelly Ståhl  Supervisor:Jonas Kågström  Date:2019 – june   Aim: The purpose of the study is to examine the laypeople´s definition of real estate agent's personality types based on The Big Five.    Method:We chose to implement a mix method of a quantitative and qualitative study based on a deductive approach through surveys, primarily web-based. The results from these was then analyzed through the program Jamovi where we chose to conduct a descriptive analysis, correlation analysis and a factor analysis. We chose to do this type of analysis to get a clearer picture of how lay people comprehend real estate agents behaviors linked to The Big Five.     Result and conclusion: The result shows that the lay people’s definition of The Big Five dimensions for real estate agents partially consistent with the scientistdefinition, On the other hand, there are different views within certain characteristics. In addition, the result shows that the lay people tends to define the Big Five dimensions with the same adjective in several of the different dimensions. The study's results indicate that the lay people self-appreciated knowledge of the Big Five dimensions does not significantly affect their response.   Contribution of the thesis: The study contributes on a theoretical perspective to starch science within lay people's comprehension of The Big Five dimensions. The practical contribution the study adds is understand the lay people’s perception of real estate agents based on the Big Five dimensions.   Suggestions for future research: Continued research can be implemented in other sectors and thereby create an understanding of the chosen profession. Further research can be carried out where real estate agents may define themselves based on The Big Five. To let the laypeople describe real estate agents in other countries, where the real estate agent's tasks and working methods differ from the Swedish one, are further suggestions for continued research.   Keywords: “The Big Five”, laypeople, “laypeople behavior”, “personality behavior”, “personality traits” och “personality perceptions”

Abstract:
The pharmaceutical industry is prone to crises, yet the communication strategy of these saidcrises has not been sufficiently explored. The perception of pharmaceutical crises is stronglydependent on how the cases are portrayed both by the pharmaceutical companies and the medicaljournals. Thus, the communication process of the crisis and the framing of the cases are of greatimportance. The main purpose of the thesis is to investigate how a pharmaceutical companyfacing a crisis communicates with the public, and secondly how medical journals frame a crisis.A specific case attracted a considerable amount of criticism by the pharmaceutical industry andthe medical journals. TGN1412 was a developing drug by TeGenero that never managed to passthe clinical trials. Moreover, the drug's effect on several participants has been characterized evenas ‘nearly fatal’. Situational Crisis Communication Theory and Image Restoration Theory equipthe thesis with an adequate theoretical framework to examine the crisis communication ofTeGenero through the company’s press releases. Additionally, a Framing analysis is applied on anumber of medical journal articles in order to fully understand the narrative of the medicalcommunity regarding the case. The thesis objective is to explore the TeGenero case andsubsequently the crisis communication in the pharmaceutical industry. As a result of the study,TeGenero’s main crisis communication strategy was towards Corrective Action, supported byBolstering and Defeasibility. From the medical journals framing analysis it is demonstrated that agreat amount of journals focused on the causes of the crisis event but also the moral standardsregarding the TeGenero case. The results of this study suggest that crisis framing and perceptionshould be considered as a more important element for crisis communication in thepharmaceutical industry.

Abstract:
S'ils constituent environ 15% des effectifs des joueurs de football professionnels en France, les Africains sont quasiment absents des postes d'encadrement. Très visibles sur les terrains, quelles sont les raisons pour lesquelles les anciens joueurs africains sont aussi invisibles à ces postes qui constituent pourtant l'essentiel de la reconversion en interne (Hugues, 1958, Becker, 1985) ? Notre travail basé sur une articulation du Big man en tant qu'institution d'emprise tend à démontrer que les joueurs africains peuvent avoir une socialisation et une perception de la réussite différentes de celles de leur milieu professionnel. Sur la base d'une enquête multi-située (Marcus, 1995), d'une observation participante sur plusieurs sites entre France, Belgique et Allemagne, et d'une ethnographie, notre travail montre que par la pratique du football, se jouent des mécanismes de représentation permettant une hiérarchie au sommet de laquelle se trouvent des Big men, ces personnes qui cumulent les richesses symbolique, économique et politique. Par l'extraversion, l'utilisation des ressources provenant du système international, ces Big men accaparent des poches d'accumulation leur permettant de mettre durablement sous leur autorité des groupes de dépendants. À l'origine, seul l'Etat moderne offrait la possibilité d'accéder à ces statuts, désormais accessibles par migration. Le football offre la possibilité à des joueurs de représenter leur pays, leur permettant d'entrer ainsi dans la compétition pour des positions de prestige dans leur environnement national. Mais, si les résultats sportifs et les salaires perçus de leurs clubs professionnels leur offrent richesses symbolique et économique, ils n'ont pas la même reconnaissance que les Big men issus de la configuration étatique. De même, ils ne peuvent pas toujours maintenir un différentiel de prises sur les personnes les plus proches de leur entourage, qui bénéficient de moyens de déprise et peuvent se mettre en compétition avec eux. La fin de leur carrière sur les terrains crée une tension entre l'impossibilité d'être un ancien Big man, et la fin des importants revenus produits par les contrats de joueur. Pour maintenir leur place dans des positions hautes, les anciens internationaux créent donc de nouvelles alliances en diaspora et se maintiennent ensemble en position de jouer des rencontres, espérant ainsi maintenir une position leur permettant de négocier un pôle d'accumulation entre le football et le pays d'origine
If they constitute about 15% of the number of professional football players in France, Africans are almost absent from management positions. Very visible on the pitch, what are the reasons why former African players are so invisible in these positions that constitute the bulk of the internal reconversion (Hugues, 1958, Becker 1985)? Our work based on the articulation of the Big Man as an institution of influence tends to demonstrate that African players can have a different socialization and perception of success than their professional environment. On the basis of a multi-located survey (Marcus, 1995), a participating observation on several sites between France, Belgium and Germany, and netnography, our work shows that through the practice of football, play with the mechanisms of representation allowing a hierarchy at the top of which are Big men, these people who combine symbolic, economic and political wealth. By the extraversion, the use of resources from the international system, these Big men monopolize pockets of accumulation allowing them to put under their authority groups of dependent. Originally, only the modern state offered the possibility of accessing these statutes, now accessible by migration. Football offers players the opportunity to represent their country, allowing them to enter the competition for prestigious positions in their national environment. But, if the sports results and the salaries received from their professional clubs offer them symbolic and economic wealth, they do not have the same recognition as the Big men from the state configuration. Similarly, they cannot always maintain a catch differential on the people closest to them, who benefit from means of unfolding and can compete with them. The end of their career on the fields creates a tension between the impossibility of being a former Big Man, and the end of the important revenues produced by the player contracts. To maintain their place in high positions, the former internationals create new alliances in diaspora and maintain together in position to play meetings, hoping to maintain a position allowing them to negotiate a pole of accumulation between football and the country of origin

Mendez, Melissa. "Youthmen with big man mentality : an exploration and analysis of the narratives of young offenders in Trinidad and Tobago." Thesis, Cardiff University, 2019. http://orca.cf.ac.uk/118782/.

Full text
Abstract:
There is an ongoing moral panic about 'the' juvenile delinquent in Trinidad and Tobago. The media present, with increasing regularity, stories about problematic youth-particularly young men-giving the impression that youth crime is spiralling out of control, when official statistical evidence suggests otherwise. Research into youth offending in Trinidad and Tobago has been mainly quantitative, considering the risks and protective factors associated with delinquency and desistance. The extant research also analyses and discusses the data uncovered within the framework of Western criminological theories. Little attempt is made to use, adapt, or develop theory in the Caribbean or Trinbagonian context in which the data was produced. The present study addresses the dearth of qualitative data on young offenders in Trinidad and Tobago by presenting the narratives of a census population of convicted juvenile offenders housed at the Youth Training Centre in Trinidad. These narratives are analysed and interpreted within the socio-economic, cultural and historical context in which these accounts were produced, taking up a 40-year-old call for the development of a 'Caribbean Criminology'. The main purpose of this project was to gain an understanding of the subjective lived experiences of incarcerated young men in Trinidad and Tobago; how they feel, think, act and make sense of the world. I discuss the implications of the narratives presented with regard to broader sociological-criminological questions about state legitimacy and procedural justice and within the context of the families and communities from which my participants come. My findings offer insight into stigmatised communities and suggest the need for a reconceptualisation of poverty as a structural deficit rather than an individual failing, and a need for state officials to recognise the social and cultural injustice that have blocked opportunities for a number of citizens.

Barr, Krispin Wagoner. "The Historical Legacy of a Secret Society at Duke University (1913-1971)| Cultural Hegemony and the Tenacious Ideals of the "Big Man on Campus"." Thesis, North Carolina State University, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3575890.

Full text
Abstract:

Collegiate secret societies, as distinguished from Greek-letter fraternal organizations, enjoyed prominence within many American campus communities from the early nineteenth century through the mid-twentieth century (Baird, 1879; Hitchcock, 1863; Slosson, 1910; Veysey, 1965). The establishment of these elite groups preceded the maturation of university administrative structures responsible for managing students’ extracurricular life, as well as the mass democratization of American higher education which occurred after World War II (Rudolph, 1990; Cohen, 2010). The presence of prestigious secret societies is documented and celebrated in college yearbooks and newspapers, reflecting a period in higher education's past when the hegemony of the white, male prevailed in student culture and fostered the composite ideal of the “Big Man on Campus” (“B.M.O.C.”) – the handsome varsity athlete, fraternity man, and club president destined for success in American public life.

Although collegiate secret societies “disappeared” on many campuses in the Civil Rights Era amidst accusations of elitism and reactions against established white, Anglo-Saxon Protestant norms, their legacy lingers into the twenty-first century, along with many unanswered questions about their historical role as a source of student power on campus. Their roots can be traced to the prestigious all-male boarding schools of the Northeastern United States in the late nineteenth century where patterns of upper-class masculine socialization developed. Due to a dearth of historical research on this topic, however, institutional leaders are challenged to understand the origins, purpose, and legacy of this type of student association that still holds meaning for students and other stakeholders in some campus communities.

This study utilized critical social theory from Bourdieu and Gramsci and the emerging scholarship of whiteness studies to provide an historical analysis of the rise and fall of the Order of Red Friars senior class secret society that was active at Duke University (Trinity College prior to 1924) between 1913 and 1971. Student leaders who manifested the “B.M.O.C.” ideal were tapped for membership in this group and collaborated with presidents, trustees, administrators, and select faculty on an agenda for student life (Durden, 1993). Utilizing archival research methods and oral history interviews, I was able to explore the involvement of the Order of Red Friars in the administration of student affairs at Duke University for sixty years during the twentieth century. This study provided basic knowledge about the phenomenon of the collegiate secret society and a deeper understanding of the cultural hegemony from which they emerged that continues to influence campus cultures today.

The history of American higher education literature documents how faculty discarded their in loco parentis responsibilities for managing student behavior as their field professionalized in the late nineteenth century (Rudolph, 1990; Thelin, 2011; Veysey, 1965) and how specialization of the student affairs profession coalesced four decades later in the 1930s (ACE, 1937; Biddix & Schwartz, 2012; Lloyd-Jones, 1934; Schwartz, 2003). Yet, the historical role of students in the campus power structure of the early twentieth century, and particularly their role in sustaining their extracurricular affairs during this period, has been largely unexamined. This study addresses the gap that exists in the history of higher education literature about collegiate culture in the early twentieth century in the South, as well as the phenomenon of the collegiate secret society as a source of power on campus. (Thelin, 1982; Veysey, 1965).

Nantchop, Tenkap Virginie. "Politiques publiques de l'eau et gouvernance urbaine : acteurs et enjeux de l'accès à l'eau potable des populations à Douala (Cameroun)." Thesis, Paris 1, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017PA01H017.

Full text
Abstract:
A Douala au Cameroun, ville de près de 4 millions d'habitants, à peine 40 % de la population a accès au service officiel de distribution d'eau. Les autorités publiques locales et les opérateurs de service sont ainsi confrontés aux défis liés aux dynamiques démographique et spatiale, se traduisant par une demande importante de service. Dans un contexte de réformes (de privatisation, bonne gouvernance, participation), l'enjeu est de concilier efficacité économique et équité socio-spatiale, par le rattrapage du service au profit des quartiers défavorisés des périphéries en développement, à travers le réseau conventionnel. Les inégalités socio-spatiales d'accès à l'eau observées résultent du projet de ville ségréguée, mis en œuvre dès la période coloniale, puis perpétué par l'Etat néo-patrimonialisé au cours de ses opérations de lotissement. Au cours de la décennie 1980, les insuffisances du service conduisent les bailleurs de fonds internationaux à recommander à l'Etat des réforn1es institutionnelles et gestionnaires. A Douala, le retrait de l'Etat du service public ne s'est pas accompagné par une substitution du tout-privé au tout-Etat. Les pratiques informelles courantes au sein de l'appareil politico-administratif, et les arrangements avec les opérateurs privés, analysés de l'échelle centrale à celle locale, permettent de rendre compte des mécanismes de redéploiement de l'action publique, et plus largement du fonctionnement de l'Etat. A l'échelle de la ville, des coalitions d'acteurs publics et privés, mais aussi d'acteurs chevauchant entre la sphère politique et la sphère économique, les Big-men, politiciens entrepreneurs, organisent le marché de l'eau. Au sein des territoires communaux, la superposition des pouvoirs et l'asymétrie des ressources entre les différents intervenants engendrent des conflits de gouvernance, avec des conséquences pour la cohérence urbaine et la généralisation de l'accès des populations à l'eau
In 2010, the population of Douala was estimated at more than 3 million in habitants. As a result of a combined effect of rural urban migration and a high natural rate of population increase, the average population growth rate was 6.3% per year. Population growth and the expansion of the city have led to an increase in the demand for water by the urban population. Paradoxically, from the second half of the 1980s, (in a context of the economic crisis), the State has significantly cut down on construction and development in the city suburbs, most particularly with regard to investment in water services (CUD, 2011 ). The State faces many challenges such as ; (i) how to reduce the socioeconomic disparities, in an urban context where the majority of the people are poor and Jack access to basic public services (ii) how to ensure social equity in the distribution of drinking water and finally, (iii) how to balance these two fundamental aspects and ensure economic growth. The Urban authorities cannot ensure the continuity of the basic services. As a result, access to drinking water by the urban people represents a key public policy challenge. As a consequence, the past decade, has seen the emergence of largely informal private water providers, in the periphery of the city in a bid to enable access to water to an increasingly larger urban population. The study focuses on the private alternatives of water production and distribution developed by small local operators and the consequences of this on urban area production

Abstract:
Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att genomföra en jämförande studie av den klassiska Hollywood-deckaren, representerad av de tre första filmerna i Thin Man-serien, och film noir. Analysen utgår ifrån Thin Man-filmerna The Thin Man (1934), After the Thin Man (1936) och Another Thin Man (1939) och noir filmerna The Maltese Falcon (1941), Laura (1944), The Big Sleep (1946) och Dark Passage (1947). Den grundläggande teorin för uppsatsen är genreteori och hur den klassiska Hollywood-deckarfilmen skilde sig ifrån film noir. Analysen är uppdelad i fyra kapitel, i vilka olika delar av innehållet i både Thin Man-filmerna och de fyra exemplen av film noir analyseras. De olika kapitlen handlar om manliga huvudkaraktären, den kvinnliga huvudkaraktären, hur de olika filmerna hanterade ämnen berörande sex och sexualitet och hur samhället och människorna representeras i filmerna. Slutsats omfattar sedan en diskussion om uppsatsens resultat och svaret på varför Thin Man-filmerna inte räknas som film noir.

Abstract:
The Big Thicket National Preserve (BITH) vegetation inventory project classified and mapped vegetation within the administrative boundary and estimated thematic map accuracy quantitatively. National Park Service (NPS) Vegetation Mapping Inventory Program provided technical guidance. The overall process included initial planning and scoping, imagery procurement, vegetation classification field data collection, data analysis, imagery interpretation/classification, accuracy assessment (AA), and report writing and database development. Initial planning and scoping meetings took place during May, 2016 in Kountze, Texas where representatives gathered from BITH, the NPS Gulf Coast Inventory and Monitoring Network, and Colorado State University. The project acquired new 2014 orthoimagery (30-cm, 4-band (RGB and CIR)) from the Hexagon Imagery Program. Supplemental imagery for the interpretation phase included Texas Natural Resources Information System (TNRIS) 2015 50 cm leaf-off 4-band imagery from the Texas Orthoimagery Program (TOP), Farm Service Agency (FSA) 100-cm (2016) and 60 cm (2018) National Aerial Imagery Program (NAIP) imagery, and current and historical true-color Google Earth and Bing Maps imagery. In addition to aerial and satellite imagery, 2017 Neches River Basin Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) data was obtained from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) and TNRIS to analyze vegetation structure at BITH. The preliminary vegetation classification included 110 United States National Vegetation Classification (USNVC) associations. Existing vegetation and mapping data combined with vegetation plot data contributed to the final vegetation classification. Quantitative classification using hierarchical clustering and professional expertise was supported by vegetation data collected from 304 plots surveyed between 2016 and 2019 and 110 additional observation plots. The final vegetation classification includes 75 USNVC associations and 27 park special types including 80 forest and woodland, 7 shrubland, 12 herbaceous, and 3 sparse vegetation types. The final BITH map consists of 51 map classes. Land cover classes include five types: pasture / hay ground agricultural vegetation; non ? vegetated / barren land, borrow pit, cut bank; developed, open space; developed, low ? high intensity; and water. The 46 vegetation classes represent 102 associations or park specials. Of these, 75 represent natural vegetation associations within the USNVC, and 27 types represent unpublished park specials. Of the 46 vegetation map classes, 26 represent a single USNVC association/park special, 7 map classes contain two USNVC associations/park specials, 4 map classes contain three USNVC associations/park specials, and 9 map classes contain four or more USNVC associations/park specials. Forest and woodland types had an abundance of Pinus taeda, Liquidambar styraciflua, Ilex opaca, Ilex vomitoria, Quercus nigra, and Vitis rotundifolia. Shrubland types were dominated by Pinus taeda, Ilex vomitoria, Triadica sebifera, Liquidambar styraciflua, and/or Callicarpa americana. Herbaceous types had an abundance of Zizaniopsis miliacea, Juncus effusus, Panicum virgatum, and/or Saccharum giganteum. The final BITH vegetation map consists of 7,271 polygons totaling 45,771.8 ha (113,104.6 ac). Mean polygon size is 6.3 ha (15.6 ac). Of the total area, 43,314.4 ha (107,032.2 ac) or 94.6% represent natural or ruderal vegetation. Developed areas such as roads, parking lots, and campgrounds comprise 421.9 ha (1,042.5 ac) or 0.9% of the total. Open water accounts for approximately 2,034.9 ha (5,028.3 ac) or 4.4% of the total mapped area. Within the natural or ruderal vegetation types, forest and woodland types were the most extensive at 43,022.19 ha (106,310.1 ac) or 94.0%, followed by herbaceous vegetation types at 129.7 ha (320.5 ac) or 0.3%, sparse vegetation types at 119.2 ha (294.5 ac) or 0.3%, and shrubland types at 43.4 ha (107.2 ac) or 0.1%. A total of 784 AA samples were collected to evaluate the map?s thematic accuracy. When each AA sample was evaluated for a variety of potential errors, a number of the disagreements were overturned. It was determined that 182 plot records disagreed due to either an erroneous field call or a change in the vegetation since the imagery date, and 79 disagreed due to a true map classification error. Those records identified as incorrect due to an erroneous field call or changes in vegetation were considered correct for the purpose of the AA. As a simple plot count proportion, the reconciled overall accuracy was 89.9% (705/784). The spatially-weighted overall accuracy was 92.1% with a Kappa statistic of 89.6%. This method provides more weight to larger map classes in the park. Five map classes had accuracies below 80%. After discussing preliminary results with the parl, we retained those map classes because the community was rare, the map classes provided desired detail for management or the accuracy was reasonably close to the 80% target. When the 90% AA confidence intervals were included, an additional eight classes had thematic accruacies that extend below 80%. In addition to the vegetation polygon database and map, several products to support park resource management include the vegetation classification, field key to the associations, local association descriptions, photographic database, project geodatabase, ArcGIS .mxd files for map posters, and aerial imagery acquired for the project. The project geodatabase links the spatial vegetation data layer to vegetation classification, plot photos, project boundary extent, AA points, and PLOTS database sampling data. The geodatabase includes USNVC hierarchy tables allowing for spatial queries of data associated with a vegetation polygon or sample point. All geospatial products are projected using North American Datum 1983 (NAD83) in Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) Zone 15 N. The final report includes methods and results, contingency tables showing AA results, field forms, species list, and a guide to imagery interpretation. These products provide useful information to assist with management of park resources and inform future management decisions. Use of standard national vegetation classification and mapping protocols facilitates effective resource stewardship by ensuring the compatibility and widespread use throughout NPS as well as other federal and state agencies. Products support a wide variety of resource assessments, park management and planning needs. Associated information provides a structure for framing and answering critical scientific questions about vegetation communities and their relationship to environmental processes across the landscape.

Abstract:
The amount of big data available has exploded with recent innovations in satellites, sensors, mobile devices, call detail records, social media applications, and digital business records. Big data offers great potential for examining whether programmes and policies work, particularly in contexts where traditional methods of data collection are challenging. During pandemics, conflicts, and humanitarian emergency situations, data collection can be challenging or even impossible. This CEDIL Methods Brief takes a step-by-step, practical approach to guide researchers designing impact evaluations based on big data. This brief is based on the CEDIL Methods Working Paper on ‘Using big data for evaluating development outcomes: a systematic map’.

Tyson, Paul. Australia: Pioneering the New Post-Political Normal in the Bio-Security State. Mέta | Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.55405/mwp10en.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper argues that liberal democratic politics in Australia is in a life-threatening crisis. Australia is on the verge of slipping into a techno-feudal (post-capitalist) and post-political (new Centrist) state of perpetual emergency. Citizens in Australia, be they of the Left or Right, must make an urgent attempt to wrest power from an increasingly non-political Centrism. Within this Centrism, government is deeply captured by the international corporate interests of Big Tech, Big Natural Resources, Big Media, and Big Pharma, as beholden to the economic necessities of the neoliberal world order (Big Finance). Australia now illustrates what the post-political ‘new normal’ of a high-tech enabled bio-security state actually looks like. It may even be that the liberal democratic state is now little more than a legal fiction in Australia. This did not happen over-night, but Australia has been sliding in this direction for the past three decades. The paper outlines that slide and shows how the final bump down (covid) has now positioned Australia as a world leader among post-political bio-security states.
