Abstract:
In tracing the experience of Chinese Canadians in the 20th Century, we need to look further back into its history. Most people believe that the increasing number of immigrants from Hong Kong, Taiwan and China in the 1980s and 1990s played the most important roles in the social and economic changes during the latest decades of the 20th Century. The contribution of the Chinese Canadians settlement throughout the 20th Century should also be considered as it marks the beginning of the rise of their social status and identity in Canada. Although the Chinese Canadians earned their fame and status since the 1980s, they had been racially discriminated for more than a century. To probe into the situation, the social and political situations in the Chinese Canadian community will be meticulously analyzed and their contribution in difference aspects examined. In addition, other minority ethnic groups, such as the Japanese, Jewish and Indian, will be used as a comparison to demonstrate the change of policies towards the Chinese in Canada. In doing so, both English and Canadian Chinese newspapers will be used to illustrate the cultural difference between the “whites” and “non-whites”. To illustrate the changes, the 20th Century will be break into three parts. In most of the pre-Second World War period, the Chinese community was isolated from the mainstream community with their activities largely confined to Chinatowns in cities, such as Vancouver, Victoria, Toronto and so on. For the Chinese living in small townships, such as Prince Rupert, Richmond and so on, their daily life will also be examined. When Canada declared war on Japan on 7th December 1941, Canada became an ally of China during the war. A sentiment of acceptance of the Chinese in the mainstream society began to take shape. Some of the Chinese chose to contribute their efforts to Canada by joining the Canadian Armed Forces and went into battle alongside the White Canadians. After the Second World War, Canada adopted a new policy towards the minority ethnic groups and Chinese Canadians started to enjoy political equality. In May 1947, the Canadian Government repealed the Chinese Immigration Act. In 1967, after the liberalization of the Canadian immigration policy, the Chinese, once again, were allowed to immigrate freely to Canada as an individual. With granted full citizenship, the Chinese social and political status began to change. In 1957, Douglas Jung, a Canadian born Chinese, was elected a Member of the Parliament, which can be seen as the beginning of the Chinese involvement in the political arena of the Canadian community. Since then, Chinese Canadians were able to achieve equality in the society. Based on documentary accounts and oral history research, this thesis re-constructed the history of Canadian Chinese involvement in the 20th Century and the change of their identity and social status thereafter.

Abstract:
This thesis looks at the role of discrimination and ethnic group identity as explanations of political behaviour of ethnic minorities in Britain. Chapter 2 examines vote choice and partisanship, arguing that a group utility heuristic explains the high level of support for the Labour party among ethnic minorities. I provide individual-level evidence of this heuristic by showing that ethnic minority voters support the Labour party to the extent that they are (i) conscious of the experiences of their ethnic group members with regards to discrimination, and (ii) believe that the Labour party is the best political party to represent their interests. These two attitudes mediate the effects of group-level inequalities. Chapter 3 asks whether Muslims are alienated from mainstream politics by Islamophobia and British military intervention in Muslim countries. I find that perceptions of Islamophobia are linked with greater political alienation, to a greater likelihood of non-electoral participation, but also to a lesser likelihood of voting. Likewise, disapproval of the war in Afghanistan is associated with greater political alienation and a greater likelihood of some types of non-electoral participation. I also provide strong evidence that Muslims in Britain experience more religious discrimination than adherents of other minority religions. Chapter 4 considers the interaction between the extreme right and ethnic minority political attitudes and behaviour. I find evidence that the extreme right British National Party (BNP) increases voting for the Labour party, at the expense of minor parties and abstention. Surprisingly, the BNP effect also benefits the other main parties. Although they do not benefit in increased vote share, Liberal Democrat and Conservative party and leader evaluations are more positive where the BNP stood and performed better in 2010, which I suggest is due to the electoral contrast provided by the BNP. Chapter 5 looks at the mobilisation effect of ethnic minority candidates on ethnic minority voters. I find a positive mobilisation effect of Pakistani and Muslim Labour candidates on Pakistani and Muslim voters, conditional on someone trying to convince the respondent how to vote. I also find a demobilisation effect of Labour Muslim candidates on Sikh voters.

Abstract:
The literature is characterised by two main types of approach to tthe question of hy ethnic conflict erupts; one emphasising rationality, instrumentality and interests, and the other tocussing on non-rationality, affectivity and identity. While it is increasingly recognised that both positions capture important elements of the truth, they are also generally perceived to be in opposition to each other. This thesis develops an approach that allows for integrating the best insights from both positions in a single coherent framework.

McMillan, Kathleen Margaret. "The minority ethnic group experience in Scottish higher education." Thesis, University of Glasgow, 2006. http://theses.gla.ac.uk/5893/.

Abstract:
This study explores the contexts and learning experiences of a group of minority ethnic group learners as higher education students in the University of Dundee. The research serves a scoping purpose, aiming to examine the influences, values, attitudes, behaviours and policies that affect the learning experiences of these bilingual minority ethnic group students in the monocultural and monolingual Scottish educational system. An initial exploration of these factors lays the foundation for the further aim of appraising the ways in which ethnicity, cultural values and bilingualism contribute to the learning profile of such students. Quantitative data were obtained from public domain statistical records, and qualitative data from a pilot postal questionnaire, focus group meetings and single or paired interviews. Research literature underpinning and informing the study draws from various fields including anthropology, bilingual education, demography, cognitive psychology, education, language acquisition, linguistics and sociology. The voices of the students combine to provide a powerful commentary of their experiences and this gives rise to the emergence of several themes in this research. A key theme, the importance of identity, is one that is woven through this work. Changing emphases can be observed in the developing Ethnic, Academic and Global modes of Self as these mutate in response to tensions that arise for the students as they straddle the dichotomy of heritage and educational cultures. The difference that distinguishes resident bilinguals from dominant ethnic group students can be seen in their differing language profiles. Problematic aspects of learning at university can apply to all learners, but such difficulties seem to be accentuated in the case of resident bilinguals. The acquisition of academic literacies is one such problematic area and, while both resident bilingual and dominant ethnic group students can be challenged in these areas, this can be in subtly different ways.

Stokes, Donald Milton. "Media's Impact, Body Image, and Latina Ethnic Sub-group Affiliation." Thesis, University of Connecticut, 2013. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3569930.

Full text
Abstract:

Body image refers to how a person perceives herself physically. A woman's perception of her physical appearance and her adherence to a cultural ideal of beauty informs her body image. Several determinants shape the development of body image, including sociocultural, psychological, and interpersonal factors, as well as adolescent physique and maturation, history of abuse, and certain types of media exposure (e.g., fashion magazines and a variety of television programming).

Much scholarly critique has argued that popular media perpetuate a "thin ideal" to viewers. Consumers receive distorted information. Heavy media consumers, through sheer volume of exposure, may be more aware of and likely to internalize the societal ideal, which could lead to disturbed body image and eating disorders. Substantial body image and media effects research focuses on print images, while television images are far less studied. Furthermore, Caucasian females are studied more frequently than members of other ethnic groups, such as Latinas (Hispanic females). Existing research examining Latinas tends to aggregate ethnic sub-groups (e.g. Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, etc.) into one homogenous group despite differences in national origin. The present study addresses a paucity of research focusing on ethnicity and ethnic sub-group identification related to body image across disciplines.

A sample comprising 305 self-identified Latinas completed an online survey about television consumption and body image. Television consumption was not predictive of social comparison; however, television consumption did predict awareness of the Eurocentric idealized thin body type. Moreover, sociocultural pressure from friends and family predicted awareness of the idealized thin. Awareness of the idealized thin was positively associated with social comparison, and internalization was positively associated with social comparison. Likewise, social comparison was positively associated with body dissatisfaction and with drive for thinness. The results lend further support for the sociocultural paradigm of body image disturbance. Limitations of the present work are posed along with suggestions for future research.

Abstract:
Le aziende che si approcciano al mondo del business contemporaneo si trovano coinvolte in una costante sfida alla ricerca di nuovi possibili acquirenti per mantenere alto l’interesse della propria clientela corrente. Le prime compagnie innovatrici hanno iniziato a farsi strada nello sviluppo di software con la capacità di immagazzinare dati in grande dimensione e successivamente analizzarli tramite metodi statistici, al fine di mantenere un collegamento diretto con i clienti fino ad arrivare ad un vero e proprio approccio di Customer-Relationship Management. Ad oggi, l’adozione di politiche aziendali volte a porre il cliente al centro è una priorità. Tuttavia, nonostante viviamo nell’era dell’informazione, introdurre o sostituire un sistema informativo è uno dei progetti IT più complessi per un’azienda. Numerosi sono i fattori tecnici e umani che l’azienda deve prendere in considerazione e gestire con attenzione, ad esempio la giusta scelta del software, la valutazione della propria organizzazione in termini di flussi e attività e la disponibilità al cambiamento da parte degli utenti finali. L’elevato rischio di fallimento cui è soggetto un progetto di questo tipo comporta la necessità da parte dell’azienda di condurre una meticolosa supervisione tanto dei costi quanto dei tempi, ed è per tale motivo che le fasi di analisi che precedono la fase di implementazione sono sempre cruciali. Le peculiarità di un tale progetto sono molteplici ed in questa tesi verrà analizzata l’implementazione di un applicativo CRM basato su software open source presso l'azienda Celli Group, leader nel settore degli impianti e accessori per la spillatura di bevande, mostrando come soluzioni di questo tipo possano essere utilizzate in ambiti aziendali e personalizzati in base alle richieste, aumentando la produttività di tutti gli utenti coinvolti e la facilità con cui vengono volte le operazioni attraverso questo sistema.

Abstract:
La presente tesi di dottorato ha ad oggetto l’analisi dei profili critici emersi nella prassi in relazione alle transnational damages group actions. All’interno di tale esteso ambito di ricerca, senza pretese di esaustività, si affronteranno determinati aspetti, tenendo in considerazione quanto accaduto negli ordinamenti che, sebbene in modo assai limitato, hanno già conosciuto tali problematiche. A seguito di una prima parte meramente introduttiva, nel secondo capitolo, si inquadreranno brevemente gli strumenti di tutela collettiva risarcitoria, indicando in che cosa consistano, a quali esigenze rispondano e quale origine abbiano; si indicheranno altresì i criteri distintivi e di classificazione che maggiormente possono rilevare nell’ottica di una cross border litigation. Nel terzo capitolo si analizzerà in termini essenziali la disciplina delle azioni collettive di alcuni Paesi, al fine di porre le basi necessarie per comprendere in quale contesto normativo si pongano le problematiche inerenti alle multi-jurisdictional collective redress actions. Nel quarto capitolo, si prenderà in considerazione la dimensione transnazionale delle azioni collettive, tenendo presenti le categorie e le regole affermatesi nel diritto internazionale privato e processuale e, soprattutto, quelle esistenti nell’ordinamento italiano e comunitario. Si individueranno poi gli obiettivi prioritari che si deve porre il giudice richiesto di giudicare sull’azione collettiva nella necessità di rendere una pronuncia o approvare una transazione che, da un lato, sia riconosciuta ed eseguita nei Paesi in cui dovrà essere riconosciuta ed eseguita e che, dall’altro lato, in ipotesi di opt out procedure, precluda ai soggetti che la pronuncia o la transazione dovrebbe vincolare successive azioni individuali e/o collettive in altri Paesi. Nel quinto capitolo, alla luce dei dati indicati nel terzo capitolo e delle considerazioni effettuate nel quarto capitolo, si analizzeranno alcuni dei profili critici posti dalla dimensione transnazionale delle azioni collettive; a tal fine, la trattazione verrà suddivisa in diversi punti che, pur essendo necessariamente connessi tra loro, nella loro individualità riescano ad evidenziare l’importanza e la centralità di determinate questioni. Peraltro, nell’intento di rispondere in modo adeguato alle problematiche analizzate, si indicheranno alcune delle soluzioni sperimentate dalla pratica giudiziaria o proposte dalla recente letteratura sul tema. Seguirà, infine, un ultimo capitolo contenente le osservazioni conclusive sugli esiti del lavoro.

Abstract:

 

The universal citizenship rights can not protect the interests of national minorities by systematically excluding them from social, economic and political life. It does this by denying national minorities access to their own societal cultures-a choice enabling background conditions. In order to enable meaningful choice, such cultures needs to be developing. The societal cultures of national minorities will, instead of being a living and developing ones, be condemned to an ever-increasing marginalization if the state follows a hands off approach to ethnicity. Thus the state must give a positive support to national minorities to help them develop their cultures in their own homeland. This can be done by drawing the boundary of the state in such a way that the ethnic minority can constitute a local majority to form a nation, and thus can be entitled to group-differentiated citizenship rights. This inevitably creates mutual-indifference among various nations, and seems to threaten the territorial integrity of the state. But as far as the multinational federation is the result of voluntary union of nations, though the social tie among these nations is weaker than the one found in a nation-state, it can nonetheless be enduring.

Abstract:
"Standards for Maintaining, Collecting, and Presenting Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity," formerly known as "Statistical Policy Directive 15," is a classification system that has formed the basis of the U.S. government's collection and presentation of data on race and ethnicity since 1977. During the mid-1990s, it underwent a public evaluation to determine whether the racial and ethnic group categories should be revised. This article examines the history of Statistical Policy Directive 15 from its origins through October 1997 and evaluates its consequences on political, economic, and social life. Among the many lessons that government information specialists can take away from the history of Statistical Policy Directive 15 is that classification systems are not neutral tools that objectively reflect and measure the empirical world. Classification systems cannot be isolated from the larger political setting. They are tightly linked to public policies, and, in the case of racial and ethnic group classification, they constitute highly contested social policy about which there is little public consensus.

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Political Science, 2011.
Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references.
The current but inconsistent upheaval in the Middle East suggests variations in what will topple regimes, and thus in how regimes have laid the groundwork to remain in power. This thesis examines variation in a social condition, relative dominance of a ruling ethnic group in a multi-ethnic society, as the source for systematic variations in how a mono-ethnic regime will justify its rule to the general population. This thesis argues that the ruling group's relative dominance, defined as its relative percentage to other groups in the population, drives a regime's justifying argument to be either rooted in the presence of universally lauded institutions (democratic-institutional), the regime's demonstrated record of economic and social developmental achievements (economic-social developmental), or the regime's ability to further the interests of an identity common to itself and the population at large (identificational). Relative dominance, it is contended, affects regime behavior by influencing the functioning of two mechanisms: the degree to which a regime can tolerate public accountability and the extent to which it needs to reduce the salience of ethnicity in order to endure. The thesis hypothesizes that the former decreases and the latter increases as dominance decreases. The thesis incorporates quantitative and qualitative analyses to measure and evaluate relationships between relative dominance and justifying arguments. It demonstrates the existence of relationships between dominance and regimes' justifying arguments by means of content analysis of senior leaders' speeches in eight Sunni-dominant, Shi'ite-subordinate countries--Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq (under Saddam Hussein), Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Yemen. Case studies of one high-dominance country (the UAE), one medium-dominance (Yemen), one low-dominance (Iraq), and one outlier (Bahrain) then illustrate the speculated mechanisms in action.

Full text
Abstract:
Retirement provision is an important aspect of financial decision making that can influence the financial quality of life experienced by individuals in old age, regardless of their ethnic group. However, individuals belonging to the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) group are more financially vulnerable in retirement than other groups, such as the White British. Previous research indicates that labour market disadvantages, low socio-economic status, and the inadequate access to financial resources are contributing factors that limit their ability to save effectively for retirement. This thesis investigates these issues further by examining the economic position of the BME group and the socio-cultural factors that positively influence or inhibit their retirement provision. This investigation is essential as many of the first generation of BME migrants, some of whom have provided migrant labour to the British economy since the Second World War, are entering the retirement stage, and are at a risk of financial difficulty due to low pension income. Although there are variations in the migration pattern and age structure of the BME group, individuals within this group are less likely to have occupational and private pension coverage. The term ‘BME group’ is used throughout this thesis to refer to individuals from African, Caribbean, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi backgrounds, since they represent the largest numbers of BME individuals in the UK. With increased individual responsibility for pension provision, this thesis explores the retirement phenomena of the BME group in three interrelated empirical chapters. The first empirical chapter uses secondary data to examine the labour market characteristics and income of the BME group at the aggregate level. With the access to retirement resources being significantly dependent on income and labour market position, these characteristics of the BME group are explored in relation to those of the White British group. The findings in this chapter substantiates much of the existing debate regarding the homogeneity of BME individuals based on their low level of income, under-representation in full-time employment and low levels of occupation. As a result, the ability of some BME individuals to save in the new workplace pension scheme may be compromised. The second empirical chapter uses secondary data to investigate further the socio-economic characteristics of the BME group at the dis-aggregated level. With limited research highlighting the relative importance of heterogeneity among BME sub-samples, the findings in the second chapter raises important implications in terms of the ability of some BME sub-samples to make provisions for their retirement given the significant levels of heterogeneity that exists in the socio-economic characteristics of the BME group. This indicates that stratified approaches to retirement provision may exist due to the possession of different levels of economic, social and cultural capital. The third empirical chapter utilises primary data to explore the retirement strategies of the five BME sub-samples at the dis-aggregated level. It provides an alternative perspective on the issues faced by the BME group and aids in further explanation of the findings in the two previous empirical chapters. The findings in the third chapter present new evidence in the form of various interrelated factors that inhibit the ability of BME individuals to make provisions for retirement. The findings presented throughout the thesis have generated a better understanding of the ways in which social structures and various forms of social, economic and cultural capital contribute to social stratification within the BME group, thus influencing their disposition towards certain retirement provision. The findings indicate that while some BME individuals have adequate retirement provisions, there are others who face financial difficulty in old age. By highlighting the socially constructed nature of ‘retirement provision’ and the economic, social and cultural factors inhibiting effective retirement provisions, from the perspective of the BME people, this thesis contributes to the ongoing debate regarding the characteristics and circumstances of BME individuals in the UK. Based on the findings presented, policy implementations may be developed to promote social inclusion, social equity and better retirement saving among this group.

Full text
Abstract:
The current study investigated if condom outcomes vary as a function of perceived group support (from members of the group) and ethnic identity among participants in an HIV prevention intervention. The peer-led intervention consisted of an empirically supported curriculum, Sisters Informing Sisters on Topics about AIDS (SISTA) with an additional component that addressed the role of alcohol/drugs in risky sexual behavior. Participants included 263 unmarried, heterosexual, African American women who were recruited from three universities. At post-test, perception of a supportive group environment was associated with positive attitudes towards condom use. In addition, ethnic identity was associated with positive attitudes toward condom use and with higher condom negotiation efficacy. However, the study hypotheses were not supported because after controlling for pre-test scores, partner status, and relationship length these associations were no longer significant. The findings also indicated that participants reported more consistent condom use and condom protective attitudes at post- than at pre-test. Findings suggest that further research is needed to understand the role that support and ethnic identity plays in interventions for African American women.

Abstract:
Religion
Ph.D.
This work examines ethnic group identities among the Muslim population in the Iberian Peninsula, or al-Andalus, between 881 and 1110 C.E. It specifically addresses three moments in Andalusi history in which ethnic conflict erupted into the political sphere: 1) The revolt of Ibn Hafsun in the late Ninth/early Tenth Century C.E. 2) The collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate in the late Tenth/early Eleventh Century C.E. 3) The arrival of the North African Almoravid dynasty in the late Eleventh/early Twelfth Century C.E. Through an investigation of each period it argues that ethnic categorization in al-Andalus has been under-theorized. The work addresses the complications of religious conversion and the resultant ramifications on religious identity, which, over time, significantly influenced deployable ethnic identities among the Muslim population. It utilizes the theoretical tools of the French social theorist Pierre Bourdieu in order to re-conceptualize the understanding of Andalusi Muslim ethnic group identities. It considers how the role of women and systems of clientage have been underappreciated in the understanding of these identities and through attention to these dynamics argues that Andalusi Muslims created an Andalusi Arab Muslim identity that increasingly unified and strengthened this social group as the political structure around it disintegrated.

Pertanto, il presente elaborato è stato sviluppato con lo scopo di studiare un sistema produttivo Just In Time, applicato a un concreto caso pratico aziendale, che supporti l’analisi e l’individuazione di eventuali criticità presenti in un flusso produttivo industriale, per ricercare, di conseguenza, soluzioni sempre più performanti di gestione dell’organizzazione dei processi produttivi e della manodopera, proponendo delle possibili azioni correttive da implementarvi. Al fine di rilevare i punti di criticità e tutte le attività che non apportano valore aggiunto e che devono quindi essere ridefinite, nel corso dell’elaborato si è studiato il flusso produttivo, e nello specifico la linea di assemblaggio, di un’intera famiglia di prodotti core business dell’azienda ravennate, attraverso lo sviluppo di una valutazione accurata dello stato AS-IS del flusso fisico e informativo del flusso produttivo stesso.

Abstract:
L'elaborato presenta il progetto di trasformazione lean intrapreso dall'azienda MiniMax, parte del gruppo SCM. Il documento parte con una overview del mercato di riferimento per l'azienda a sottolineare l'importanza del progetto intrapreso; in seguito viene presentata l'azienda ed il suo contesto storico. Successivamente si passa ad una breve introduzione degli strumenti della lean production presentati dalla letteratura dell'ingegneria di produzione. Il terzo capitolo è una descrizione della situazione AS-WAS dell'azienda, in cui vengono presentati i vari problemi che affliggevano il reparto produttivo, dal WIP, ad una non corretta classificazione dei materiali, inefficienze e scarso controllo del processo. Il capitolo successivo mostra i risultati ottenuti dall'applicazione dei principi lean sulla linea di produzione, dal bilanciamento, all'asservimento dei materiali e allo studio delle postazioni di linea, passando per tutti gli strumenti di supporto per l'identificazione dei problemi e la loro risoluzione in ottica Kaizen. Il quinto capitolo presenta una panoramica del nuovo sistema gestionale implementato dall'azienda durante il progetto ed i suoi risvolti sulle attività dei magazzinieri ed addetti di linea. L'ultimo capitolo presenta i risultati del progetto ed il periodo di payback.

Abstract:
Con il presente documento si farà riferimento a Marchesini Group Spa e alle logiche di gestione del magazzino e di movimentazione della merce tra magazzini interni all’azienda. Si tratteranno, in particolare, i trasferimenti tra il magazzino di Pianoro e il magazzino di Barberino, con l’obiettivo di giungere ad una razionalizzazione dei trasferimenti tramite la creazione di uno standard di classificazione degli articoli. Tramite questo processo, si cercherà, in seconda analisi, di arrivare ad un’ottimizzazione dal punto di vista dei costi totali di trasferimento e giacenza e degli impatti ambientali, intesi come emissioni di Kg CO2. Per fare questo si studierà in maniera approfondita l’As-Is, tanto dal punto di vista organizzativo quanto dal punto di vista dell’analisi numerica. Seguiranno le proposte migliorative del To-Be, implementate grazie alla creazione di un modello matematico, che permetterà la creazione di diversi scenari, che, nella parte finale, saranno confrontati, al fine di ottenere un risultato di ottimo a livello globale.

Abstract:
L’internazionalizzazione dei contesti industriali e l’aumento della competizione sopravvenuti nel mondo contemporaneo hanno reso necessari diversi mutamenti nelle attività produttive e legate ai servizi, dalla diversificazione dei prodotti, alla riduzione dei lead time, alla razionalizzazione dei costi a tutti i livelli della supply chain, non solo relativamente alle materie prime e alla diminuzione dei prezzi di vendita, ma anche di tutti i costi indiretti, che assumono un peso importante. La rapidità nella sostituzione dei prodotti e la necessità di contenere al massimo i tempi di risposta spingono sempre più le aziende a rivedere la propria struttura in modo da eliminare gli sprechi. Le imprese operano in un ambiente molto complesso, di conseguenza si rende necessario il coinvolgimento non solo delle funzioni interne ad un’azienda, ma anche di quelle esterne, nell’ottimizzazione delle attività che producono valore e di quelle necessarie che non intervengono direttamente. Tra tutte queste attività si cerca, in questo elaborato, di porre un focus su quelle legate alla gestione delle scorte all’interno della supply chain e all’integrazione dei fornitori nella rete logistica aziendale. Verranno ripresi i concetti fondamentali della teoria di gestione delle scorte, e sarà esposto il percorso intrapreso dall’azienda Carpigiani Group, leader mondiale nella produzione e commercializzazione di macchine per la produzione di gelato artigianale ed “espresso”, di integrazione dei fornitori all’interno della catena di approvvigionamento, attraverso un sistema kanban di fornitura e politiche di approvvigionamento riconducibili al consignment stock, con il fine ultimo di ottimizzare i livelli di scorte a magazzino e di servire le linee produttive con efficacia ed efficienza.

Abstract:
This article investigates the complex interrelation between ethnic and gender diversity, process and performance among groups of business students. The article is based on an empirical survey of business students working on a complex assignment in groups of two to five in a small Swedish university. The results indicate that gender diversity leads to positive group outcomes, while ethnic diversity appears to create negative group outcomes. Intervening process variables, such as group communication, conflict and effectiveness in problem solving, were not found to be influenced by diversity, or to influence group outcomes. While the non-influence of intervening variables can probably be explained by methodological difficulties, the negative outcome for ethnic diversity indicates a need to help students better manage ethnic diversity in order to reap its benefits.

Abstract:
A literature review on the conversion studies reveals that most models of religious conversion postulate Christian-centric and western-centric perspectives. One of these models is the seven-stage Rambo Model. This study’s main objective is to critically engage the Rambo Model in exploring the conversion process of the Dusun Muslim converts in Brunei Darussalam and to answer the first research question that seeks to find out the actual definitions of the conversion stages as how they had been typically experienced by the converts. The model’s framework is further tested by the second research question which aims to identify the determinant that explains the variations and similarities found in the stage sequence of the conversion process of the Dusun Muslim converts in comparison to those occurring in different religious settings. Drawing on the qualitative data obtained through interviews and the utilisation of relevant literature, the case study of the Dusun Muslim converts confirms the cultural specificity issue inherent in the Rambo Model. Some theoretical changes were suggested where a new concept of contextual components and of culture-free definitions of the stages were added to the model’s framework. This modified version of the Rambo Model was found to be effective in demonstrating that the actual definitions of the conversion stages of the Dusun Muslim converts are unique and distinctly specific, principally due to the effects of Brunei’s majority-religion context. The theoretical changes of the model were also useful in explaining the variations and similarities in the stage order of conversion process occurring in different religious settings. Thus, by presenting a non-Christian and non-western case study of religious conversion, this study concludes that a more generic version of the Rambo Model can actually be formulated and be utilised by future research undertakings.

In this thesis I discuss the Cuban American National Foundation (CANF) and its unique success as an ethnic interest group. I explain how the group came to be. I then address a number of reasons that scholars give as to why the CANF still exerts so much influence today. These reasons include but are not limited to: government favoritism during the cold war, the group's influence as a voting bloc, and campaign donations to prominent politicians. I discuss each of these theories and conclude that they all contain a grain of truth, yet none of them is significant enough to fully explain the situation. I conclude by finding the situation to be over-determined

Abstract:
The study of terrorism has been both broad in scope and varied in approach. Little work has been done, however, on the territorial aspects of terrorist groups. Most terrorist groups are revolutionary to one degree or another, seeking the control of a piece of territory; but for the supportive population of a terrorist group, how important is the issue of territory? Are the intangible qualities of territory more salient to a given population than other factors? Are territorially based terrorist groups more durable than their ideologically or religiously motivated cohorts? This paper aims to propose the validity of the territorial argument for the study of political terrorism.

Abstract:
Questa tesi concerne quella che è una generalizzata tendenza verso la trasformazione digitale dei processi di business. Questa evoluzione, che implica l’utilizzo delle moderne tecnologie informatiche tra cui il Cloud Computing, le Big Data Analytics e gli strumenti Mobile, non è priva di insidie che vanno di volta in volta individuate ed affrontate opportunamente. In particolare si farà riferimento ad un caso aziendale, quello della nota azienda bolognese FAAC spa, ed alla funzione acquisti. Nell'ambito degli approvvigionamenti l'azienda sente la necessità di ristrutturare e digitalizzare il processo di richiesta di offerta (RdO) ai propri fornitori, al fine di consentire alla funzione di acquisti di concentrarsi sull'implementazione della strategia aziendale più che sull'operatività quotidiana. Si procede quindi in questo elaborato all'implementazione di un progetto di implementazione di una piattaforma specifica di e-procurement per la gestione delle RdO. Preliminarmente vengono analizzati alcuni esempi di project management presenti in letteratura e quindi viene definito un modello per la gestione del progetto specifico. Lo svolgimento comprende quindi: una fase di definizione degli obiettivi di continuità dell'azienda, un'analisi As-Is dei processi, la definizione degli obiettivi specifici di progetto e dei KPI di valutazione delle performance, la progettazione della piattaforma software ed infine alcune valutazioni relative ai rischi ed alle alternative dell'implementazione.

Abstract:
The purpose of this research was to investigate the interrelationships between marital adjustment, group commitment, religiosity and attitude to divorce in the Jewish group. It amounted to a within group empirical study of the Jewish community of Cape Town. Research, to date, has focused on marital stability where researchers have found that Jews have lower divorce rates than the general population. The present study attempted to assess the psycho-social outcomes of group commitment in the form of marital adjustment, thus bridging the gap between marital quality and marital stability in the Jewish group. On a wider level, the purpose of this research was to assess whether a social structural framework, utilizing the concept of social integration, is a perspective that can be used in explaining variations in marital adjustment. The following were the findings of the research : Religiosity was correlated to group commitment but not to marital adjustment; group commitment was correlated to marital adjustment; a negative attitude to divorce was not correlated to marital adjustment, group commitment or religiosity.

In Bosnia and Herzegovina mobile phone numbers can in some way reflect ethnicity. This study will describe how and why urban youth in Sarajevo, in their own stated reality motivate and perceive selection of mobile phone companies and mobile phone numbers in Bosnia and Herzegovina according to their ethnic group. The research questions are: How do urban youth in Sarajevo reason when they choose mobile phone companies? How do urban youth in Sarajevo perceive and understand consequences of the divide of mobile phone companies and numbers in Bosnia and Herzegovina? To what extent can mobile phone numbers be perceived as an ethnic marker? By using qualitative interviews the results of the study is presented. Mobile phone numbers can serve as an ethnic marker, but it is not used by urban youth in Sarajevo to distinguish ethnicity. Finally, the thesis argues that an ethnic structure among mobile phone companies are discovered but even in this rigid ethnic structure people choose mobile phone companies of economic reasons rather than of ethnic implications.

Abstract:
L’obiettivo della ricerca denominata “Tecnologie di Gruppo” è fondato su tre idee basilari: 1. a scuola è importante perseguire due tipologie di apprendimento: l’apprendimento individuale e quello di gruppo. Al momento, gli insegnanti organizzano le loro azioni didattiche maggiormente verso il primo tipo mentre il secondo è considerato un supporto per il primo; 2. a scuola, le situazioni più comuni di lavoro con le tecnologie non sono inline bensì principalmente offline, nella classe oppure nel laboratorio multimediale. Durante queste situazioni didattiche, è piuttosto usuale far lavorare in gruppo gli studenti. Quando un gruppo di studenti lavora con alcune strumentazioni tecnologiche, le interazioni fra i partecipanti tendono a modificarsi; 3. le nuove interazioni aumentano le possibilità per sviluppare apprendimenti collaborativi se gli insegnanti organizzano e progettano l’ambiente di apprendimento finalizzato a supportare la costruzione collaborativa della conoscenza e lo sviluppo delle competenze. L’espressione “Tecnologie di Gruppo” significa che le tecnologie (il computer, la tv, la videocamera e altri) può aumentare le possibilità di impostare lavori di gruppo dove gli studenti scambiano opinioni o idee, discutono un argomento oppure cercano di risolvere una situazione-problema, decidono come organizzare il lavoro del gruppo stesso. Nel gruppo con le tecnologie ci sono maggiori possibilità di feed-back cognitivi e relazionali fra gli studenti. La questione principale è gestire le differenti interazioni e permettere al gruppo di crescere e affrontare le situazioni-problema in cui il gruppo viene coinvolto. Quindi è fondamentale il ruolo dell’insegnante come conduttore della classe. All’inizio di un’esperienza didattica, il lavoro di gruppo è maggiormente “cooperativo”. Il compito, i ruoli e i passi sono stabiliti dall’insegnante. Successivamente, quando il gruppo è consapevole delle proprie abilità e potenzialità, l’insegnante può ampliare le possibilità gestionali e affidarle agli studenti. Essi possono scegliere i percorsi ritenuti più adatti per affrontare i problemi, distribuire i ruoli, condividere informazioni e altro. Il lavoro di gruppo diventa “collaborativo”. È necessario costruire un ambiente di apprendimento che integrato fra online e offline per allenare gli studenti al lavoro di gruppo. Tale ambiente si costituisce in tre situazioni principali: 1. lavoro di gruppo senza tecnologie; 2. lavoro di gruppo con tecnologie in classe (offline); 3. lavoro di gruppo online. La ricerca ha individuato interessanti progetti in atto in Italia ed in altri paesi. Le caratteristiche comuni sono le seguenti: c’è una piattaforma di apprendimento online (come Knowledge Forum o Moodle) dove gli studenti interagiscono, comunicano e lavorano insieme; gli insegnanti propongono attività su un argomento o una tematica disciplinare o trasversale; i lavori (individuali o di gruppo) procedono parallelamente in classe con o senza le tecnologie e continuano online, in modo che la rete sia percepita come un medium collaborativo; la progettazione delle attività è condivisa fra studenti e insegnanti.
The aim of research called “Group’s Technologies” is based on trhee basic ideas: 1. At school it’s important to pursue two kinds of learning: individual learning and team learning. At the moment, the teachers direct their acts above all to the first kind and the second one is relegate as a support for the first. 2. At school the situations more common for the work with ICT are not online but mainly offline in the classroom or in the room of computers. During these situations, it’s usual that the students work in groups. When a team of students works with some technologies, the interactions among the participants will change. 3. New interactions improve possibilities for collaborative learning if the teachers organize and plan the learning environment to foster and support the collaborative building of knowledge and the growth of competencies. The expression “Group’s Technology” means that technologies (computers or others) can increase the possibilities to build work’s groups where the students can exchange opinions or ideas, discuss a matter or on resolve a situation-problem, decide as to handle the job. In group with technologies there are more possibilities of feed-back by schoolfriends or by the computers. The main question is to manage the different interactions and to allow to the team to grow and to tackle the problems that the group’s situations involve. Therefore, it’s important the role of teacher as leader of the classroom. At the beginning, the work’s group will be more “cooperative”. The task, the roles in the groups and the steps of job are assigned by the teacher. Then, when the groups are aware of their abilities, the teacher can open the possibilities. The students can select the ways to solve the problems, share the rules, information and other. The work is getting “collaborative”. It’s necessary build a learning environment integrated between online and offline to train for group’s work. This environment is built by three situations: 1. group’s work without technologies 2. group’s work with technology in the classroom (offline) 3. group’s work online At the moment, I found some interesting projects in Italy and in other countries. The common peculiarities are: there is a learning platform online (like Knowledge Forum or Moodle) where the students can interact, communicate and work together; the teachers suggest some activities about a subject; the jobs (individual or team) proceed in the classroom with or without technologies and continue online, so the network is felt like a collaborative medium; the design of instruction is shared by students and teachers.

Abstract:
L’elaborato ha come oggetto l’analisi dello stato attuale dell’evoluzione dei sistemi di Business Intelligence utilizzati fino ad oggi. Lo studio è concentrato su un caso pratico: il cambiamento in atto nella funzione ICT della SCM GROUP SPA. Le aziende operanti in tutti i mercati attuali, soprattutto quelli maturi come quello oggetto di questa tesi, per non essere escluse dalla crescente competitività e per rispondere rapidamente alle turbolenze del mercato, devono comprendere e gestire in maniera rapida e precisa la grande mole di dati che vengono raccolte grazie ad applicazioni come il CRM e l’ERP. Questa tesi prende spunto direttamente dalle necessità nate nella SCM GROUP di avere un’unica piattaforma per l’analisi dei dati ed un adeguato sistema di reporting e dashboards, fino ad ora assente; quindi nel primo capito saranno analizzati argomenti “teorici” focalizzandomi su strumenti di BI quali data warehouse, analisi predittive e what if, concentrandomi nell’evidenziare aspetti positivi e negativi ed il grado di diffusione di tali tecnologie. Nel secondo capito tratterò Big data e tecniche di visualizzazione dei dati, ad oggi ci sono numerosi strumenti per la visualizzazione cercherò, brevemente, di classificarli. Nel terzo capitolo entrerò nella mia esperienza aziendale partendo da una presentazione della SCM GROUP fino alla descrizione dell’as is attuale dell’ICT aziendale. In questo capitolo esporrò il lavoro di analisi fatto per il market intelligence al fine di determinare le necessità per il nuovo data warehouse ed entrerò nel dettaglio dei compiti e operazioni che coinvolgono il market intelligence. Concluderò questo elaborato mostrando il cambiamento apportato dal market intelligence in SCM GROUP, quindi mostrerò come sia possibile utilizzare uno strumento di visualizzazione avanzata dei dati come POWER BI di Microsoft per realizzare la pianificazione strategica di una grande multinazionale.

Abstract:
This paper analyzes the effect that ethnic diversity has on out-group approval and how inter-group contact mediates this relationship. Out-group approval is defined as the extent to which native Germans readily accept the existence of out-groups in German society. The indicators of this include diversity beliefs, support for building mosques, out-group trust, generalized trust, and ethno-centrism. I test this relationship using the DivCon survey, carried out by the MaxPlanck Institute in Germany. Using multi-level regression models, I find that neighbourhood diversity is not negatively related to out-group approval, but both weak-ties and strong-ties inter-group approval do mediate this relationship. I also find that inter-group contact has more of a positive effect on out-group approval attitudes of younger generations than it does on older ones.
Cette thèse analyse l'effet de la diversité ethnique sur l'approbation des exogroupes et comment le contact intercommunautaire agit en cette rapport. L'approbation des exogroupes est définie comme la mesure dans laquelle les allemands qui n'ont pas d'origine immigrée acceptent-t-ils l'existence des exogroupes dans la société. Lesindicateurs comprennent les convictions de diversité, le soutien pour la construction des mosquées, la confiance interpersonel, et l'ethno-centrisme. J'essaie cette rapport en utilisant les resultats de l'enquête DivCon, réalisée par l'Institut Max Planck en Allemagne. J'utilise les modèles de regression à plusieurs niveaux et je trouve que la diversité du quartier n'a pas de rapport négatif avec l'approbation des exogroupes. Néanmoins, le contact intercommunautaire des liens faibles et des liens forts servissent de médiateur dans cette rapport. En outre, je trouve que le contact intercommunautaire a plus d'un effet positif sur l'approbation des exogroupes pour les jeunes que pour les personnes plus agées

Full text
Abstract:
The Bosnian war was not a purely “ethnic conflict,” as both in-group members and out-group members were sacrificed for the higher political objective, namely, ethnic homogenization of divided Bosnian territories. In particular, I argue the sacrifice of in-group members, especially those who lived on the out-territory, was integral to the violence directed against out-group members. The process of resettlement of the ethnic kin was just as important as the expulsion of the ethnic “other” for re-creating a new ethnic and political balance in select strategic areas. Furthermore, the practice of the appropriation of existing and the creation of new parallel state structures were the main mechanisms of the process of the sacrifice of in-group members from the out-territory. In turn, nationalist narratives were constructed not only to justify those new structures, but also to portray ethnic minorities as potentially dangerous and threatening. In order to complete ethnic homogenization, Bosnian nationalists directly targeted the private household, expelling Bosnians from their homes and appropriating and destroying their private property. I argue that violence against the household rendered the private sphere political. In the second part of the thesis, I reflect on actions and words of ordinary Bosnians, both in-group and out-group members, who resisted violence and helped each other during the war. In particular, I argue that although the lack of basic needs brought Bosnians of different ethnicities together, a long-term result of this necessity-driven action was political: the restoration of their citizenship and the preservation of their community at the local level for after the war.

Abstract:
L'elaborato espone il contributo del candidato nel processo di elaborazione di una tecnica innovativa per il miglioramento dei metodi di assemblaggio e collaudo di MU-CN. Il modello sarà di riferimento per l’analisi delle attività a valore e spreco per tutto il gruppo aziendale. Facendo riferimento alle legioni romane: la tecnica vuole prima di tutto strutturare la strategia di attacco ovvero dichiarare come dovrebbero muoversi le legioni, poi enunciare ai singoli soldati (industrializzatori/ progettisti) come deve essere usata la spada (strumenti) ed infine quali delle spade a disposizione servono per l’attacco in questione. Il progetto parte da uno studio di benchmarking delle best practice nel settore machinery, per poi convergere nell’approfondimento di un sistema di analisi adattato al background aziendale. Si utilizzeranno strumenti quali il Design for Assembly e l’Approccio Scientifico. Questi saranno i 2 approcci fondamentali con cui si procederà alla generazione di un nuovo metodo per le attività esecutive. Inoltre, in termini di completezza di analisi si investirà anche il processo di sviluppo nuovo prodotto, cercando di anticipare il più possibile (front-loading&concurrent engineering) la rilevazione delle inefficienze. Infine, vi sarà il supporto del candidato nell’istituzionalizzazione del nuovo metodo, nella conduzione di attività d’implementazione pilota e nell’elaborazione dei piani di roll-out che lo vedranno in veste di trainer insieme al Team di Progetto. I risultati ottenuti sono stati soddisfacenti, perciò la tecnica proposta avrà riscontro reale e verrà implementata nel Gruppo entro fine 2018. In particolare, si sono incrementati i rendimenti medi delle linee osservate e ridotti i costi di assemblaggio e struttura dei pezzi analizzati, dati stimati grossolanamente grazie all’applicazione pilota della nuova tecnica.

Abstract:
The research presents a study of ethnic homophily, i.e. the tendency of agents to be connected to similar others, in the school context. It uses two observations of the complete social network of a cohort of Swedish students (n=115) in a secondary school. The study analyses the scope of the selective attachment and the student’s possible motivations to seek similarity, as well as its interrelation to homophily induced by structural organization or foci. It focuses in the interrelation between the individual motivation to seek similarity and how the context of opportunity is organized.
