Kumlin, Terese. "Social science students’ perceptions of motivational methods and approaches in science class." Thesis, Malmö högskola, Fakulteten för lärande och samhälle (LS), 2017. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:mau:diva-36394.
Texte intégralRésumé :
How to motivate students effectively is a question teachers have asked for thousands ofyears. In my teaching program at Malmö University, a variety of teaching methods andapproaches, that also increase motivation, have come into focus. These include:teaching at the right level, using a variety of teaching methods, seeing every student,being enthusiastic about the material, using formative evaluation, connecting lessons tostudents’ everyday life, and adapting classes to students’ interests. The aim of this studyis to find out how secondary students in a social science program perceive teachingmethods and approaches aimed at increasing motivation, and determine which methodsthey perceive as most/least effective. The study used both qualitative and quantitativemethods. 23 upper-secondary students from a class at a school in southern Swedenwere interviewed in four focus groups, where participants were purposefully sampled.10 of these students were also asked to complete a questionnaire ranking the teachingmethods and approaches on a scale of 1-7 (where 1 was most effective at increasingmotivation and 7 least effective), and the mean values of these scores were used in theanalysis. A phenomenological approach and content analysis were used to code andanalyze the data. Students perceived all of the motivational methods to be effective, themost effective being teaching lessons at the right level, followed by using a variety ofteaching methods, with mean values of 1.9 and 3.2, respectively. Adapting lessons tostudents’ interests and connecting them to everyday life were the least effective, withmean values of 5.6 and 5.7, respectively. The categories of teachers having a positiveattitude towards the material and the students, and seeing every student, had the samemean value, 3.8, while formative evaluation had a mean value of 3.9. When trying tomotivate students, it would thus appear more effective to make sure that lessons aretaught at the right level and that teachers vary the lessons, than to adapt lessons tostudents’ interests or connect the material to everyday life. While this was a small studyand the findings cannot be generalized to school populations, they are of high interestfor the researcher.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This work explores the multidimensional, ambiguous and temporal characteristics of tonality. The approach relies on interfacing pitch-spaces with time vs. time-scale descriptions. In this combined representation, the spatial and temporal hierarchies of tonality are evidenced simultaneously and in relation to each other. A visual exploration method is proposed for the analysis of tonal context in music works, using a simple model of tonal induction. The method is extended for the analysis of music based on tonal systems beyond the major-minor paradigm. Two perceptual studies are approached from this descriptive framework. The first study evidences the impact of time-scale in a simple mode of tonal induction, and analyses the mathematical artefacts introduced by evaluations in scaled spaces. In the second study, a model of contextual instability is proposed and discussed in relation to the modelling of tonal tension. The analysis and representation methods are then generalised, through a set-class theoretical domain.<br>Esta tesis analiza la naturaleza ambigua, multidimensional y temporal de la tonalidad. El método propuesto parte de la conexión entre espacios tonales y descripciones en tiempo y escala temporal. Esta representación conjunta pone de manifiesto la relación entre las jerarquías espaciales y temporales de la tonalidad. Utilizando un modelo simple de inducción tonal, se propone un método de exploración visual del contexto tonal en obras musicales. Dos estudios perceptuales son abordados desde el entorno descriptivo propuesto. En el primer estudio, se pone en evidencia el impacto de la escala temporal como parámetro de un modelo simple de inducción tonal, y se analizan los artificios matemáticos introducidos por evaluaciones en espacios escalados dimensionalmente. En el segundo estudio se propone un modelo de inestabilidad contextual, y se analiza en relación al modelado de la tensión tonal. El método de análisis se generaliza, a través de una categorización contextual en set-classes.

ABSTRACT
The research deals with the photographic image in its exclusively documental aspect. However, in order to do that, it comments some photography’s technical and conceptual issues. This approach encompasses activities that are inserted in the practical aspect of Science Information, and it includes the DAM process of digital image organization. The main aspect considered in the research is the thematization of photographic image which is responsible, in the first place, for the determination of thematic discourses and for the delimitation and direction of these discourses due to characteristics of image banks where the photos will be stored and, secondly, for the gathering of totally different photos but that have some sort of discourse that they might have in common. As it deals with thematizing a kind of image (the photographic one) offers a general view in itself, showing its importance as a mean of interaction between men and the world and its meanings as communication of ideas, knowledge and doctrines, from pre history to these days. It also briefly shows the image thematization process indicating how men used to delimit and direct the imaging discourses according to their conveniences and political and/or religious interests. It shows some basic topics that guide the research such as a very brief photography history and concepts of: reference, photographic reality, polysemy, photographic denotation, Dubois´ (2007), DE´s, SOBRE´s and Shatford´s (1994) theories and so on. It presents the concept of photographic thematization and indicates the reason of thematizing photographies. It compares thematization to index showing that thematization is a technique prior to index in the organization process of photographic image. It shows that thematization is influenced by many factors such as photography’s technical and visual qualities (based on Gestalt’s form principles), possible functions that photography might have, cognition and analysts´ and users´ mental image and, mainly, image bank characteristics. It presents a practical exercise with 22 photographies that go through a whole thematization process, including descriptive analysis (based on the so called information points), interpretative analysis and the determination, delimitation and direction of thematic discourses. The last chapter weaves some final considerations demonstrating the results reached by the research.

Texte intégralRésumé :
In this study I qualitatively explore how women who choose not to have children account for this choice in the South African context. I consider the reasons for women to remain childfree and the changing discourses of femininity that enable women to make the choice not to have children. I am also concerned with the possible implications of this choice for women’s interpersonal relationships. This study is conducted from a feminist social constructionist framework. Dominant discourses of femininity revolve around motherhood, which is considered to be the most important role. Motherhood is believed to be a “natural” identity. Mothers are highly regarded in most societies; they are perceived to be devoted to the care of others and to be self-sacrificing. Although most societies consider motherhood to be an essential feature of femininity, it can also cause ambivalent feelings and not all women wish to take on the role of motherhood. The number of women who choose to remain childfree is growing in various societies. Women increasingly have the power to choose whether they want to remain childfree. Through resisting discourses that meld femininity with motherhood, childfree women create alternative discourses that have the potential to change constructions of femininity. I used feminist social constructionism to endeavour to understand the ways in which women’s realities inform their decision not to have children. I also explore how society serves to either problematise or promote this decision. Finally, I attempt to gain a deeper understanding of how being female and childfree impacts on women’s beliefs about themselves. Interview data from semi-structured interviews conducted with women who choose to remain childfree are analysed using thematic analysis. The women interviewed were white and middle class and were found via convenience and snowball sampling. The women participating in the study report various reasons for remaining childfree. Freedom from childcare responsibility and the resulting greater opportunity for self3 fulfilment is shown to be one of the strongest reasons for remaining childfree. Other important reasons include unequal labour division in the family, concerns about the physical aspects of childbirth and recovery, life partners’ acceptance of the choice to remain childfree as well as early socialising experiences. Other reasons cited less frequently include the negative impact of childrearing on women’s emotional well-being, concerns regarding the overpopulation of the planet and a general dislike of children. Two of the themes identified in the text are not evident in the existing literature. The first of these relates to the fact that the women participating in the study do not regard motherhood as the central feature of femininity. Instead, they tend to associate femininity with the act of nurturing, rather than with the act of mothering. These women are able to strongly identify with the female role, as they do not believe that choosing to remain childfree conflicts with their female gender role. The second theme relates to the belief that the world is an evil or unsafe place and that it is therefore better to remain childfree. This belief appears to be context dependent and is based on the women’s perceptions of the crime situation in South Africa. This study contributes to the expansion of the existing literature concerning childfree women, specifically within the South African context. The findings of the research support the findings of previous studies and offer a fresh perspective through the identification of new themes. By exploring reasons women cite for remaining childfree, I argue that some women refute motherhood. The challenging of the dominant discourse that “all women are mothers” is aimed at changing the dialogue about women and thus altering existing dominant discourses.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Denna uppsats belyser några av förskoleklassens läromedel i matematikämnet. Vi har undersökt specifikt i vilken utsträckning leken tar plats i läromedel, samt vilket stöd läraren får att genomföra lek som kan bidra till elevernas begrepps och/eller resonemangsförmåga. Förskoleklassen har nyligen blivit obligatorisk och ska fungera som en bro mellan förskolan och skolan. Den förväntas ta över förskolans lekpedagogik samtidigt som den ska introducera skolans rutiner och undervisningsmetoder. Vi har använt innehållsanalys som metod för att undersöka läromedel både kvantitativt och kvalitativt. Studiens resultat visar att lek som bidrar till elevernas begrepps- och/eller resonemangsförmåga finns i lärarhandledningar. Det finns även olika typer av stöd för läraren att genomföra lekbaserad undervisning som bidrar till elevernas begrepps- och/eller resonemangsförmåga. Det kan bidra till att eleverna utvecklar och befäster sina kunskaper om matematiska begrepp och/eller resonemang via leken. Studien visar också att lek i läromedlets elevböcker i stort sett saknas. Vilket kan innebära att eleverna går miste om lek i matematikundervisningen om läraren väljer att endast använda elevboken.<br>This master thesis focuses on mathematics textbooks for preschool class. We have studied to what extent play is found in the textbooks and what kind of the support for implementation is offered to the teacher. We have focused on play which can contribute to the pupils’ concept and/or reasoning ability. Preschool class is now a compulsory school form. Preschool class is a class between preschool and primary school and is expected to function as a bridge between these two. There are many expectations for preschool class: implementing preschool pedagogy while introducing the primary school’s routines and teaching methods. We have used content analysis as a method in this study. The method has been used in both a quantitative and a qualitative way. The results show that teacher guides offer play contributing to conceptual and/or reasoning. The results also show that the teacher gets support for implementing such play in the classroom. This offers opportunities for pupils to consolidate and develop their knowledge of mathematical concepts as well as their reasoning. Further, the study shows that play in the pupils’ textbook largely is lacking. If the teacher chooses to only use the pupil’s textbooks, the consequence can be that the pupils are missing out on play in mathematical education.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Ciência Política<br>A dissertação tem como objeto de estudo a autodeterminação da classe política madeirense reivindicada durante os discursos proferidos nas sessões legislativas regionais, entre 2010-2017. A escolha deve-se ao facto de apesar a ligação entre o discurso da autodeterminação e a formação de novos Estados ser constante ao longo dos tempos, o seu estudo encontra-se pouco representado na literatura. Deste modo, o objetivo é identificar e explanar a posição e intenção da autodeterminação da classe política madeirense proferida durante os discursos parlamentares regionais durante e pós crise económico-financeira. A questão nuclear que norteia a investigação é: Com que intenção usou a classe política madeirense o discurso de autodeterminação durante os anos da Troika em Portugal? Para tal socorri à metodologia qualitativa e quantitativa, mais concretamente o método da análise de conteúdo e ao software MAXQDA. O principal outcome é o de que a classe política da RAM profere um discurso como símbolo de poder e como uma ferramenta de contestação contra o poder do Governo Central e que com o objetivo de obter financiamentos, através do discurso, ergue um movimento de autodeterminação acentuada e persuasivamente durante o período de crise financeira, acrescendo na era da Troika, enquanto que a partir do período pós-Troika as reivindicações tornam-se menos frequentes e menos agudas<br>The aim of this study was to explore the self-determination claims of the political class in Madeira during the speeches delivered in the regional legislative sessions between 2010-2017. This choice comes from the fact that, despite the link between the selfdetermination speech and the formation of new States being constant throughout the years, the study is not represented enough in literature. In this sense, the intent is to identify and explain the self-determination claimed by Madeira’s political class at the regional legislative sessions during and after the financial crisis. The nuclear question that guides this investigation is: What was the intention of the Madeira’s political class in using a self-determination speech through all of the troika years in Portugal? For this, I used a qualitative and quantitative methodology, more specifically the method of content analysis and the software MAXQDA. The main result is that the political class produces speeches as a symbol of power and as a tool of contesting against the power of the Central government. So, to get funding, through the speeches, a movement of strong and persuasive self-determination was upraised during the period of financial crisis, increasing in the era of the Troika, while from the PostTroika period the claims become less frequent and less critical<br>N/A

Texte intégralRésumé :
Syftet med studien är att få en inblick i hur matematiska läroböcker, riktade till förskoleklass, kan bidra till utvecklingen av en problemlösningskompetens. Detta gjordes genom att undersöka omfattningen och placeringen av problemlösningsuppgifter i läroböcker riktade till förskoleklass. Med hjälp av ett tidigare beprövat ramverk kunde vi kategorisera uppgifter från sex olika läroböcker genom en kvantitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att problemlösningsuppgifter var underrepresenterade i alla läroböckerna och att högst procent problemlösningsuppgifter var placerade som en första deluppgift och minst procent som avslutande uppgifter. Vid de tillfällen där läroböckerna explicit markerat att det handlade om problemlösning var majoriteten av uppgifterna problemlösningsuppgifter. Samtliga läroböcker ansågs innehålla för låg andel problemlösningsuppgifter för att i tillräcklig mån kunna bidra till utvecklandet av en problemlösningskompetens. Placeringen av problemlösningsuppgifterna i läroböckerna var generellt positiv för att kunna bidra till ökat problemlösningskompetens. Att problemlösningsuppgifter dominerar där det beskrivs handla om problemlösning anses vara positivt, dock återfanns ändå 29,5% andra uppgifter, vilket kan skapa en skev bild av vad problemlösning är.<br>The purpose of the study is to gain an insight into how mathematical textbooks, aimed for preschool class, can contribute to development of a problem-solving competence. This was done by examining the extent and location of problem-solving tasks in textbooks aimed for preschool class. Using a previously proven framework, we were able to categorize data from six different textbooks through a quantitative content analysis. The results showed that problem-solving tasks were underrepresented in all textbooks and that the highest percentage of problem-solving tasks was placed as a first sub-task and the lowest percentage as concluding tasks. At the times when the textbooks explicitly stated that it was a problem-solving task, the majority of the tasks were problem-solving tasks. All textbooks were considered to include too low a share of problem-solving tasks, for it to be able to contribute to the development of a problem-solving competence. The placement of the problem-solving tasks in the textbooks was generally positive, in the meaning that it enabled them to contribute to increased problem-solving competence. Problem-solving dominates where it is described to be a problem-solving task which is considered positive, however, 29.5% other tasks were still found, and that can create a skew picture of what problem-solving is.

Texte intégralRésumé :
This research study was motivated by a research project which observed differences in achievement levels within the creative arts classroom between working class schools and middle class schools. These achievement gaps were largely attributed to inadequate pedagogue skills and content knowledge and the lack of adequate materials in working class schools. The research project sought a way to address this problem by initiating a 2-year pilot extracurricular project at one working class school by introducing a methodology, freespace, which sought to simultaneously bring in facilitators and practitioners who work in the creative arts and also to provide the resources needed. Freespace is described as an informal educational tool which draws its principles from popular education discourse. The purpose of this research study was to conduct a comparative analysis of the transmission of pedagogic discourse between the informal classroom (freespace) and the formal classroom; with a particular emphasis on the regulative discourse inherent to both practices. Furthermore, this research study sought to understand the sort of contribution that informal pedagogic practice might make to the formal creative arts classroom. In order to conduct this study I employed Bernstein's model of the pedagogic device to set out my research design. I also used his methodology of developing an external language of description for coding my data. I conducted interviews with pedagogues and classroom observation to collect my data. The interview data were coded using Maton's development of Bernstein's code theory, namely Legitimation Code Theory (Specialisation) using epistemic and social relations, to allow me to capture the values and intentions of the pedagogues (the intended curriculum). To capture the enacted curriculum, I used Bernstein's framing dimensions to code the data from the classroom observations. The findings of this research study suggest that the pedagogic discourse(s) of both the formal and informal context and their inherent regulative discourses privilege an ideal learner-knower. In conclusion, this research study seeks to suggest that while the cultivated gaze has proven beneficial with respect to inculcating learners into a given dominant discourse, particularly within the creative arts; that an argument can also be made for adopting a social gaze in this particular context (working class school) in order to a) allow learners to be adequately socialised into art practise and b) allow for a plurality of the epistemic in order that both the dominant gaze and notions of achievement and effective pedagogy might be disrupted.

It is characterized by large areas of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) atrophy that grow progressively, with concomitant loss of photoreceptors and choriocapillaris. Currently, there is no treatment for this disorder.
Lipofuscin build-up within the RPE, which is identifiable by fundus autofluorescence (FAF) as areas of increased autofluorescence, has been linked to GA progression in some studies. Actually, the distribution of hyperautofluorescence on FAF identified some patterns (“phenotypes”), which have been associated with specific rates of disease growth.
We conducted a prospective clinical study to simplify the complex classification of FAF patterns and to determine the role of increased FAF, a biomarker of lipofuscin, in the progression of GA.

Previous issue date: 2010<br>A presente pesquisa teve por objetivo identificar as representações sociais que adolescentes em tratamento do câncer fazem acerca da prática pedagógica do professor de classe hospitalar. Para desenvolver a pesquisa foram observados os princípios da pesquisa qualitativa e do estudo de caso, tomando como orientação teórico-metodológica a teoria das representações sociais. Participaram do estudo dez adolescentes em tratamento do câncer, hospedados no Grupo de Apoio à Criança e ao Adolescente com Câncer (GACC), localizada na cidade de Salvador-BA. Desses adolescentes, cinco eram do sexo masculino e cinco do sexo feminino, e tinham idades entre 15 e 18 anos. Como instrumentos de coleta de dados foram utilizados a observação livre e entrevistas semiestruturadas. Após a coleta, todo material foi analisado à luz da análise do conteúdo, tendo como resultado as representações sociais sobre a prática pedagógica do professor de classe hospitalar, que se ancoram em: professor não convencional, prática pedagógica mais lúdico-educativa do que escolar; o papel da classe hospitalar no resgate do prazer de estudar; O papel da classe hospitalar na reafirmação da importância da escola regular em suas vidas. Dentre os resultados alcançados, constatou-se que os adolescentes pesquisados percebem que a prática pedagógica do professor de classe hospitalar ajuda a melhorar sua saúde e a minimizar o estresse do tratamento. Ela promove o aprendizado com uma abordagem individualizada que, muitas vezes, contribui para que ele aprenda melhor, mas não é considerada como responsável pela continuidade dos seus estudos escolares, pois, na percepção dos adolescentes, essa continuidade somente será alcançada no retorno à escola regular. Esses achados demonstram a importância da classe hospitalar enquanto um lócus de transitoriedade, que resgata a identidade escolar do alunopaciente por gerar expectativas positivas de retorno à escola regular para que os estudos sejam retomados. Reforçam também que a prática pedagógica do professor é um ponto de apoio para que ele persista na luta pela saúde e pela vontade de viver.<br>Salvador

Texte intégralRésumé :
Research has shown that there are gaps in knowledge between newly hired and experienced professionals and that some of these gaps are related to concepts, such as the concepts of object orientation. This problem, and the fact that most computer science majors want to work in the software industry, leads to questions regarding why these gaps exist and how students can be better prepared for their future careers. Against this background, this thesis addresses two theme-based perspectives that focus on students' views of concepts in Computer Science. The first theme-based perspective investigated the existence of potential Threshold Concepts in Computer Science. Such concepts should be troublesome, transformative, irreversible, and integrative. Qualitative methods have been mainly used and empirical data have been collected through semi-structured interviews, concept maps, and written stories. The results identified two Threshold Concepts, suggested several more, and then described the ways in which these concepts have transformed students. The second theme-based perspective took a phenomenographic approach to find the variation in how students understand concepts related to the software profession. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews. In one study the interviews were held in connection with role-playing where students took on the role of a newly hired programmer. The results show a variety of ways to experience the addressed phenomena in the student collective, ranging from superficial views that often have a practical nature to more sophisticated understandings that reflect a holistic approach, including a professional point of view. Educators can use the results to emphasize concepts that are important from students' perspectives. The phenomenographic outcome spaces can help teachers to reflect upon their own ways of seeing contrasted with student conceptions. I have indicated how variation theory can be applied to open more sophisticated ways of seeing, which in this context stresses the professional aspects to help students prepare for becoming professional software developers.

Texte intégralRésumé :
La presente Tesis Doctoral se encuadra dentro la línea de investigación del lenguaje mediante los métodos basados en corpus, es decir, mediante análisis computacional y cuantitativo. El esencial objetivo ha sido llevar a cabo una comparación y análisis cuantitativo estructural y del léxico de dos textos específicos del género dramático: la cuarta edición en el infolio de Hamlet (1685) de Shakespeare, y la traducción al inglés de Gamlet (1787) [1748], del dramaturgo ruso Aleksandr Sumarokov, traducida del ruso por Richard Fortune en 1970. El análisis, comparación e interpretación de los resultados de los patrones estructurales y temáticos se ha dispuesto por actos, tanto en aquello que se refiere a la intra-obra (en Hamlet y Gamlet, separado), como inter-obras (entre Hamlet y Gamlet) a lo largo de los Capítulos 3º, 4º, 5º y 6º. Para desvelar los propósitos reales de Shakespeare y Sumarokov, especialmente en lo referido a las configuraciones sociales y organizativas estructurales de Hamlet y Gamlet, se utilizaron diversas aplicaciones informáticas e estadísticas. Para ello se administró el análisis cuantitativo de la distribución de los patrones de la presencia, intervención e interacción de todos los personajes, tanto los principales, como los secundarios. Para analizar y comparar las alteraciones temáticas, es decir, las diferencias cualitativas, no simplemente cuantitativas, con respecto a la conceptualización sociopolítica, religiosa, moral, familiar, filosófica y artística, entre Shakespeare y Sumarokov, se aplicaron los métodos cuantitativos y analíticos basados en la lingüística del corpus. A tal fin, se implantó la investigación de los patrones de distribución de las palabras de contenido (open-class ítems), es decir, las palabras con significado léxico, tales como sustantivos, verbos, adjetivos y adverbios, más frecuentes entre ambas obras. Los principales resultados obtenidos revelan importantes disimilitudes entre las estructuras de las obras por actos, es decir, percepciones marcadamente distintas de todos los personajes, de su relevancia en las obras y de complejidad de las relaciones sociales entre ellos. Los resultados de los patrones temáticos señalan las divergencias significativas en los contenidos básicos de ambos textos en relación con los temas más prominentes. Así pues, los resultados confirman diferencias sustanciales en los patrones estructurales y temáticos entre versión original de Hamlet y Gamlet. Resumen:<br>The main area of research of this PhD dissertation is the study of language by means of corpus-based techniques -in other words, by means of a computational and quantitative analysis. The aim was to carry out quantitative and qualitative structural and lexical analysis and comparison of two specific texts in the genre of drama -The Fourth Folio Edition of The Tragedy of Hamlet Prince of Denmark (1685) by Shakespeare and the English translation of Gamlet (1787) [1748] by the Russian playwright Sumarokov, translated from Russian by Richard Fortune in 1970. The analysis, comparison and interpretation of data related to the structural and thematic patterns were carried out per act: intra-play (in each play, separately) and inter-plays (between Hamlet and Gamlet). Accordingly, various computational tools were applied to reveal the differences in the social and organisational structures of the plays through quantitative and qualitative analysis of the distribution patterns of the presence, intervention and interaction variables of all the characters, both main and secondary. Quantitative and analytical corpus-based methodologies were used to analyse and compare thematic alterations between the two plays -in other words, the (dis)similarities in the authors' religious, socio-political, family, moral, philosophical and artistic conceptions- identified on the basis of the most frequent content words (open-class items), particularly nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs. The key findings indicate important differences between the structures of the plays per acts, that is, significant divergences in the authors' perceptions of the characters and the complexity of their relationships. Another essential finding suggests obvious distinctions between both texts' basic contents per act: intra-play and inter-plays. In general, the findings uncover wide-ranging dissimilarities in the structural and thematic patterns in Hamlet versus Gamlet.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Content analysis is a systematic research method for examining symbolical content in communication by recording or transcribing these messages into categories. Reliability is one of the most distinctive attributes of content analysis methodology comparing to other techniques in communication. A content analysis was conducted by analyzing the method sections of published journal articles in Communication Abstracts from January 2006 through January 2011 by searching "advertising" and "content analysis". Results suggested that television is still the most focused medium in advertising content analysis research. Most of the content analysis studies employed 2 coders for coding reliability assessment data and final data. Moreover, content analysis researchers had improved in reporting reliability and reliability coefficients. However, there was a low percentage of studies that reported specific reliability for each variable as well as the lowest acceptable level for the reliability coefficients.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Search engines have forever changed the way people access and discover knowledge, allowing information about almost any subject to be quickly and easily retrieved within seconds. As increasingly more material becomes available electronically the influence of search engines on our lives will continue to grow. This presents the problem of how to find what information is contained in each search engine, what bias a search engine may have, and how to select the best search engine for a particular information need. This research introduces a new method, search engine content analysis, in order to solve the above problem. Search engine content analysis is a new development of traditional information retrieval field called collection selection, which deals with general information repositories. Current research in collection selection relies on full access to the collection or estimations of the size of the collections. Also collection descriptions are often represented as term occurrence statistics. An automatic ontology learning method is developed for the search engine content analysis, which trains an ontology with world knowledge of hundreds of different subjects in a multilevel taxonomy. This ontology is then mined to find important classification rules, and these rules are used to perform an extensive analysis of the content of the largest general purpose Internet search engines in use today. Instead of representing collections as a set of terms, which commonly occurs in collection selection, they are represented as a set of subjects, leading to a more robust representation of information and a decrease of synonymy. The ontology based method was compared with ReDDE (Relevant Document Distribution Estimation method for resource selection) using the standard R-value metric, with encouraging results. ReDDE is the current state of the art collection selection method which relies on collection size estimation. The method was also used to analyse the content of the most popular search engines in use today, including Google and Yahoo. In addition several specialist search engines such as Pubmed and the U.S. Department of Agriculture were analysed. In conclusion, this research shows that the ontology based method mitigates the need for collection size estimation.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Video Content Analysis (VCA) is usually computationally intense and time consuming. In this thesis the efficiency of VCA is increased by implementing a distributed VCA architecture. Automatic speech recognition is used as a case study to evaluate how the efficiency of VCA can be increased by distributing the workload across several machines. The system is to be run on standard desktop computers and need to support a variety of operating systems. The developed distributed system is compared to a serial system in use today. The results show increased performance, at the cost of a small increase in error rate. Two types of load balancing algorithms, static load balancing and dynamic load balancing, is evaluated in order to increase system throughput and it is concluded that the dynamic algorithm outperforms the static algorithm when running on a heterogeneous set of machines and that the differences are negligible when running on a homogeneous set of machines.

Texte intégralRésumé :
Migration wird oft als soziales Problem dargestellt, das mit Benachteiligungen einhergeht. Allerdings hat die Migrationsforschung in den letzten Jahren gezeigt, dass Migration sich u.a. durch Klasse, Geschlecht und Ethnizität ausdifferenziert. Diese Studie fokussiert auf das Konzept der sozialen Klasse. Die Studie schlägt vor, Mobilität als Ressource zu betrachten, die in der Gesellschaft ungleichmäßig verteilt ist. Wie beeinflusst die soziale Klasse der Migrant_innen ihre räumliche Mobilität und die Art und Weise, wie sie mit Migrationsregimen interagieren? Wie beeinflusst ihre Mobilität die Prozesse von Klassenformation, in denen sie während der Migration involviert werden? Die Analyse erfolgt durch die Untersuchung der Migrationsgeschichten von jungen italienischen Migrant_innen, die seit 2008 nach Berlin zugewandert sind. Sie basiert auf einem Mix an Methoden, bzw. einer Online-Umfrage, 40 Interviews, drei Fokus-Gruppen und zahlreichen teilnehmenden Beobachtungen. Erstens untersucht der theoretische Teil die Entwicklung des Konzeptes der sozialen Klasse und deckt die Leerstellen der Klassenforschung auf. Zweitens wird im empirischen Teil den Zugang italienischer Migrant_innen zu Wohnen und Arbeit in Berlin untersucht. Schließlich beweist die Studie, dass das Regime der „freien“ EU-Binnenmigration wohl durch die Entstehung von Grenzen auf lokaler Ebene gekennzeichnet ist. Nach der Analyse scheint dieses Regime eher eine Lebensführung zu favorisieren, in der permanente Mobilisierung der eigenen Arbeitskraft notwendig ist. Die Studie bestätigt, dass Mobilität als Ressource zu betrachten ist, die zunehmend relevant für den Lebensunterhalt ist, und plädiert deshalb dafür, eine kritische Perspektive auf Migration zu entwickeln, die den Fokus auf die Frage nach der Kontrolle und Eigentum von Mobilität setzt.<br>Migration has been studied for long time as a social problem, both for migrants and for sending and destination countries. However, research shows that migration has become increasingly differentiated along social, economic, gender and cultural lines. The present study unravels the concept of migration by introducing social class as a crucial intervening variable. It suggests considering mobility as an income-generating resource unevenly distributed across the population. How does the social class of migrants affect their mobility and the ways how it is incorporated into a migration regime? How is mobility related to processes of class formation in contemporary capitalism? The study focusses on the case of young Italian migrants who moved to Berlin after the economic crisis of 2008. Firstly, it tackles the rise, decline and renaissance of the class concept, showing the blind spots of class analysis. Secondly, the empirical part, based on a web survey, 40 interviews, 3 focus groups and several participant observations, explains how Italian migrants access resources in Berlin developing a life conduct predicated on mobility. The imperative to move spills over from the domain of spatial mobility into the domain of work, with the refusal of doing the same job “forever”, and into that of reproduction, with the construction of flexible forms of emotional engagement. The research highlights how newcomers enter processes of social differentiation on the housing and labor market. Endless mobilization of young labour force appears as the main policy goal for the governance of intra-EU migration. The analysis finally suggests considering mobility as a class-related resource, whose ownership and control should become a crucial issue for the understanding of contemporary societies.

This thesis explores issues concerning computer aided content analysis for newspaper articles. Articles relevant to the Japan Air Self Defense Force's new fighter support jet (code named FSX) were collected from three newspapers in the U.S. and Japan. These data were downloaded and stored in a PC then analyzed using word processing software. At the same time, three articles were selected and distributed, along with relevant survey questions, to over 150 people. The survey was intended to examine the readers' responses to those articles. The results from the questionnaire and computer aided content analysis were analyzed, summarized and compared. These complementary studies were conducted to help determine whether computer aided content analysis could identify the information and impressions conveyed by these newspaper articles. The results of this complementary effort indicate that additional work is needed, particularly in software development, to make computer aided content analysis more useful. However, the results also showed the complexities of conveying and interpreting information. Content Analysis, U.S./Japan relationship, FSX

Texte intégralRésumé :
Typically in the secondary educational system, classes are held in the whole-class lecture format. In this arrangement, opportunities for active engagement are low. Instructional methods such as response cards and guided notes have been examined for their efficacy in increasing active class participation, but little of this research had been conducted in a university setting. The current study compared three instructional techniques: whole-class lecture, response cards, and guided notes. Data collected from six discussion sections were compared in terms of: percentage of students actively engaged during each programmed opportunity and students' daily quiz scores following each instructional period. Results suggested that while active participation was significantly higher in the response card condition, quiz scores were unaffected by instructional method.

Texte intégralRésumé :
<p>Outsourcing has over the years become more important when organizations increasingly focus to become best-in-class within their specific area. With this goal, outsourcing may be used to support core activities or dispose of activities judged as non-core for the organization. With these different ways to apply outsourcing, outsourcing may be used with various motives depending on the organizations goal. To better understand these motives, the aim of this paper is to acquire a deeper understanding of underlying motives organizations may have prior to make an outsourcing decision. This study is carried out through a content analysis of press releases published between 2005 and 2010. The results reveal three mayor motives that appear with a higher frequency in the study. These are; motives to gain competence/technology, motives to gain quality and motives to gain a higher flexibility.</p><br><p>Outsourcing har de senaste åren ökat i signifikans då organisationerna hela tiden flyttar fokus mot att nå en best-in-class position på marknaden. Med det målet kan outsourcing användas för att stödja kärnverksamhet eller för att avyttra aktiviteter som bedöms ej tillhöra kärnverksamheten. Dessa olika sätt att tillämpa outsourcing beror på organisationens bakomliggande motiv vad gällande mål med den outsourcade aktiviteten. Målet med denna studie är att öka förståelsen för de bakomliggande motiv som leder till ett outsourcing beslut. Studien är utformad som en kvantitativ innehållsanalys av publicerade pressmeddelanden mellan åren 2005 och 2010. Resultaten visar på tre motiv som uppträder med en högre frekvens i studien. Dessa motiv ämnar till att få; tillgång till kompetens/teknologi, erhålla högre kvalitet samt till att ge den egna organisationen en högre flexibilitet.</p>

Texte intégralRésumé :
The use of mobile devices to access the World Wide Web is becoming more prevalent. When browsing webpages on small-screen devices, it is difficult to locate information of interest since the limited screen space can be fully packed with information. Also, browsing Web tables on small-screen devices is a non-trivial problem. To fit a large table in a small-screen device, the association between data values and their corresponding headers may be disrupted. It is difficult to locate information accurately if the data meanings are lost. For visually impaired users, the problem is even more challenging. Sequential presentation of the webpage by a screen reader is too time-consuming if the information of interest is placed at or near the end of the webpage. Therefore, there is a need to re-organize useful information in webpages in order to enhance information finding on small-screen devices. In this thesis, various adaptations are proposed by exploring and exploiting relationships between Web elements in the webpage.
In the current literature, some proposed heuristics are based on specific HTML elements, which cannot be generalized. Some other algorithms assume a correct DOM structure, which would fail if the webpage is not properly marked up. Many algorithms extract blocks without assigning them the proper titles. A gap needs to be filled, such that extracted blocks will be given a proper title through exploring the relationships between semantic elements. In this thesis, I propose to integrate relationship analysis and DOM-tree structure traversal for identifying logical sections together with their section headings. By extracting all the section headings, a table of content can be constructed to provide direct access to interested sections in an efficient way. Relationship analysis is a critical complement to the DOM structure for identifying the semantic content hierarchy when a webpage is not properly marked up. By exploring relationships between table cells, the structure of an unstructured Web table can be extracted. The semantic meanings of the data values are retained by preserving the data values and their corresponding headers. A novel way of accessing a webpage, which converts the page itself and its Web table into menu-based presentation, is then proposed. Converting the webpage into an Interactive Voice Response System introduces yet another mode of access which can enhance the accessibility of the webpage. In addition to improving mobile accessibility, the proposed adaptations can also benefit the visually impaired users.
Experiments show that the average effectiveness and efficiency of adaptation with direct access are improved by 18% and 15% respectively, which are clearly better than the case without adaptation. Also, by adapting the Web table into a series of menu pages, the effectiveness and efficiency are improved by 61% and 37% respectively. For the evaluations with visually impaired users, the adaptation with direct access can greatly improve efficiency by 85%. Some complicated Web tables in fact could not be properly interpreted by visually impaired users; the Web table adaptation makes them accessible. Information finding indeed becomes more efficient and effective when using the adapted versions.<br>published_or_final_version<br>Computer Science<br>Doctoral<br>Doctor of Philosophy

Texte intégralRésumé :
The networks of surveillance cameras installed in public places and private territories continuously record video data with the aim of detecting and preventing unlawful activities. This enhances the importance of video content analysis applications, either for real time (i.e. analytic) or post-event (i.e. forensic) analysis. In this thesis, the primary focus is on four key aspects of video content analysis, namely; 1. Moving object detection and recognition, 2. Correction of colours in the video frames and recognition of colours of moving objects, 3. Make and model recognition of vehicles and identification of their type, 4. Detection and recognition of text information in outdoor scenes. To address the first issue, a framework is presented in the first part of the thesis that efficiently detects and recognizes moving objects in videos. The framework targets the problem of object detection in the presence of complex background. The object detection part of the framework relies on background modelling technique and a novel post processing step where the contours of the foreground regions (i.e. moving object) are refined by the classification of edge segments as belonging either to the background or to the foreground region. Further, a novel feature descriptor is devised for the classification of moving objects into humans, vehicles and background. The proposed feature descriptor captures the texture information present in the silhouette of foreground objects. To address the second issue, a framework for the correction and recognition of true colours of objects in videos is presented with novel noise reduction, colour enhancement and colour recognition stages. The colour recognition stage makes use of temporal information to reliably recognize the true colours of moving objects in multiple frames. The proposed framework is specifically designed to perform robustly on videos that have poor quality because of surrounding illumination, camera sensor imperfection and artefacts due to high compression. In the third part of the thesis, a framework for vehicle make and model recognition and type identification is presented. As a part of this work, a novel feature representation technique for distinctive representation of vehicle images has emerged. The feature representation technique uses dense feature description and mid-level feature encoding scheme to capture the texture in the frontal view of the vehicles. The proposed method is insensitive to minor in-plane rotation and skew within the image. The capability of the proposed framework can be enhanced to any number of vehicle classes without re-training. Another important contribution of this work is the publication of a comprehensive up to date dataset of vehicle images to support future research in this domain. The problem of text detection and recognition in images is addressed in the last part of the thesis. A novel technique is proposed that exploits the colour information in the image for the identification of text regions. Apart from detection, the colour information is also used to segment characters from the words. The recognition of identified characters is performed using shape features and supervised learning. Finally, a lexicon based alignment procedure is adopted to finalize the recognition of strings present in word images. Extensive experiments have been conducted on benchmark datasets to analyse the performance of proposed algorithms. The results show that the proposed moving object detection and recognition technique superseded well-know baseline techniques. The proposed framework for the correction and recognition of object colours in video frames achieved all the aforementioned goals. The performance analysis of the vehicle make and model recognition framework on multiple datasets has shown the strength and reliability of the technique when used within various scenarios. Finally, the experimental results for the text detection and recognition framework on benchmark datasets have revealed the potential of the proposed scheme for accurate detection and recognition of text in the wild.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The wide diffusion of multimedia contents of different type and format led to the need of effective methods to efficiently handle such huge amount of information, opening interesting research challenges in the media community.
In particular, the definition of suitable content understanding methodologies is attracting the effort of a large number of researchers worldwide, who proposed various tools for automatic content organization, retrieval, search, annotation and summarization. In this thesis, we will focus on an important concept, that is the inherent link between ''media" and the ''events" that such media are depicting. We will present two different methodologies related to such problem, and in particular to the automatic discovery of event-semantics from media contents. The two methodologies address this general problem at two different levels of abstraction. In the first approach we will be concerned with the detection of activities and behaviors of people from a video sequence (i.e., what a person is doing and how), while in the second we will face the more general problem of understanding a class of events from a set visual media (i.e., the situation and context). Both problems will be addressed trying to avoid making strong a-priori assumptions, i.e., considering the largely unstructured and variable nature of events.As to the first methodology, we will discuss about events related to the behavior of a person living in a home environment. The automatic understanding of human activity is still an open problems in the scientific community, although several solutions have been proposed so far, and may provide important breakthroughs in many application domains such as context-aware computing, area monitoring and surveillance, assistive technologies for the elderly or disabled, and more. An innovative approach is presented in this thesis, providing (i) a compact representation of human activities, and (ii) an effective tool to reliably measure the similarity between activity instances. In particular, the activity pattern is modeled with a signature obtained through a symbolic abstraction of its spatio-temporal trace, allowing the application of high-level reasoning through context-free grammars for activity classification. As far as the second methodology is concerned, we will address the problem of identifying an event from single image. If event discovery from media is already a complex problem, detection from a single still picture is still considered out-of-reach for current methodologies, as demonstrated by recent results of international benchmarks in the field. In this work we will focus on a solution that may open new perspectives in this area, by providing better knowledge on the link between visual perception and event semantics. In fact, what we propose is a framework that identifies image details that allow human beings identifying an event from single image that depicts it. These details are called ''event saliency", and are detected by exploiting the power of human computation through a gamification procedure. The resulting event saliency is a map of event-related image areas containing sufficient evidence of the underlying event, which could be used to learn the visual essence of the event itself, to enable improved automatic discovery techniques.
Both methodologies will be demonstrated through extensive tests using publicly available datasets, as well as additional data created ad-hoc for the specific problems under analysis.

Texte intégralRésumé :
碩士<br>國立屏東科技大學<br>技術及職業教育研究所<br>97<br>The purpose of the study was to explore the content of class ideology presented in Kang Hsuan junior high school English textbooks from Book One to Book Six. Content analysis of the texts and the pictures contained in English textbooks was conducted by using both a quantitative and a qualitative approach.
The main findings of the study are as follows:
1. The categories of occupation and family life predominantly focused on middle class.
2. The occupation category of middle class is fuller of variety than labor class.
3. While middle class and labor class were presented at the same time in the texts, middle class is referred to first.
4. Mostly, in occupation and family life, the characters of both middle class and labor class possessed positive characteristics; however, the textbooks were lack of the description of family life of labor class characters.
5. The presentation of efforts and contribution of human beings largely focused on middle class.
6. The relationship between middle class and labor class is predominantly based on “client-server interaction relationship,” and the focus is on middle class.
7. In class ideology, the issues selected were mainly neutral; a few focused on middle class ideology.
Finally, the researcher came up with some suggestions for future researchers to refer to.

Texte intégralRésumé :
碩士<br>明道大學<br>課程與教學研究所<br>103<br>The study examined Junior High School English textbooks on a social class based analysis. It established its findings based on a content analysis of the textbooks examining what they conveyed about social class. The content analysis advocated throughout the study was similar to that used by Kang Hsuant（康軒版） and Han Lin（翰林版） in the study of social class on English textbooks (from Book One to Book Six). Notably the Work Books and Teacher’s Manuals were not included in the analysis. The researcher analyzed and scrutinized the text books on four different headings, namely, occupations, family interaction, education strategies, and social activities. The characteristics of social class and the social class values were also involved in the consideration.
From the reach it is considered the following conclusions can properly and reasonably be drawn:
I. Both textbook brands tended to present occupations normally associated with middle and upper class people.
II. Both textbook brands tended to present family interaction normally associated with middle and upper class people.
III. Both textbook brands tended to present education strategies normally associated with middle and upper class people.
IV. Both textbook brands tended to present social activities normally associated with middle and upper class people.
Finally, the research also provided some suggestions as following to change and improvement to those who write Junior High English textbooks and the teachers who use them:
I. Suggestions for those who write junior high school English textbooks: (a) to avoid the chance of benign neglect (b) the selection of content should be balanced with different social class values (c) to develop customized textbooks
II. Recommendations to teachers: (a) to strengthen the understanding of the student's family background; (b) the evaluation should not be used only by having tests

The study divides social hierarchical ideology into four aspects: family living style, vocational class, hierarchical perspectives and hierarchical value understanding. The conclusions and recommendations are as follows:
1. The content of these Chinese textbook did not take into account equal illustrative frequency among the upper echelon to blue-collar echelon and vocational diversity. In accordance with fundamentals of obligatory education, the study suggests that the content and wording of Chinese textbooks should include perspectives from different social echelons and make sure a more lively and diverse content.
2. These textbooks have reflected different family living styles from multiple social echelons. However, their pictures and illustrations are not comprehensive and appropriate. Thus, the study suggests that educational authority should reflect social reality in textbooks, instead of over-perfecting society.
3. The textbooks attempted to deliver hierarchical concepts as hierarchical equality and class as a means of division of labor, so as to blur hierarchical understanding. They also attempted to form a concept that division of labor creates win-win opportunities. This effort by editors and writers is worth of recognition.
4. The textbooks gave specific features to upper-class and blue-collar class for their internal characters and external outfitting. This reflects hierarchical stereotype for class values. Thus, the comparison of characters, modernity and tradition, and housing demonstrates hierarchical differences. It indirectly delivered values for upper-echelon and blue-collar class. Thus, the study recommends that teachers need to carefully select their teaching material while they prepare their classes. They need to meticulously explain some language prejudices appeared in textbook and design related teaching activities and programs to improve their teaching effectiveness.
5. The Chinese textbooks in elementary schools have become social class making mechanism. The content of these textbooks have become a product for manipulating hierarchical understanding. It made upper-echelon thinking as a mainstream hierarchical ideology. Thus, the study recommends that the educational authority should pay great attention to Chinese textbooks used in elementary schools and prevent them from helping cultural hegemony of class-making. They also have to take into account social fluidity and create more user-friendly materials.

碩士<br>國立臺北教育大學<br>課程與教學研究所<br>98<br>This research aims at analyzing the distribution of social class ideology in current Junior High School English Textbooks. It takes Kang Hsuan (康軒) and Han Lin (翰林), textbook brands with high market share, for example, and analyzes the texts, new words, and sentence practice from Book One to Book Six, Work Books and Teachers’ Manuals excluded.
As for the research approach, it adopts document analysis, making “Analysis List of Occupational Items” and “Analysis List of Features of Class Value.” And then, it analyzes the social class ideology in these English Textbooks with “content analysis.”
According to the research, the conclusions are as follow:
I. The two textbook brands, Kang Hsuan (康軒) and Han Lin (翰林), tend to choose middle-and-upper class in their picture and texts selection of “occupational items.”
II. The two textbook brands, Kang Hsuan (康軒) and Han Lin (翰林), tend to choose middle-and-upper class in their picture and texts selection of “life chances” and “.
III. The two textbook brands, Kang Hsuan (康軒) and Han Lin (翰林), tend to choose middle-and-upper class in their picture and texts selection of “family atmosphere”.
IV. The two textbook brands, Kang Hsuan (康軒) and Han Lin (翰林), tend to choose middle-and-upper class in their arrangement of “life styles” aspects.
Finally, the research proposes some possible solutions to editors of Junior High English textbooks as well as Junior High English teachers.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The main objective of this research is to analyze folksonomies used in the social web to describe digital objects in order to propose best practices for your implementation in academic libraries.
Documentary research was conducted to study the literature relating to folksonomies and social tagging.
We identified the advantages and disadvantages of implementing the social tagging, and with special attention to the persistent question: can folksonomies be used to create quality descriptive metadata, and if so, do we need to teach users to be better taggers.
We analyzed the various proposals that have been generated up to 2010. We looked at best practices of social tagging as well as the guidelines for the development of terminology and the analysis and identification of contents. Considering the above points we combine these threads and recommend a best practice for tagging in academic libraries.
We confirmed two suspicions in this research. (1) Folksonomies and unstructured metadata are very useful for accidental discoveries (serendipity) and (2) subject headings like metadata structured for
location in indexes, both have strengths and weaknesses which, combined, can provide the best thematic access to the collections of libraries.
We also found that folksonomies are an effective way to distribute the effort to generate metadata and feedback can improve the connections between catalogers-indexers and users.

Texte intégralRésumé :
碩士<br>國立中正大學<br>教育研究所<br>95<br>The “cultural reproduction theory” shows that the main point of “class reproduction“ lies in the close connection between class culture and textbook. Although the textbook is open and pluralistic after our country began to practise the Grade 1-9 Curriculum from the primary school’s grade one in 2001 school year, the content of the textbook still hides a certain class'' value, and the teacher quite relies on the textbook. Moreover, Taiwan turned to the democratization of politics in 1987. The combination of the political democracy and the economic development prompted the hedge of social class to take shape, the class ideology replaced political ideology gradually, and therefore the increase of the importance of the analysis of class ideology will go without saying. Seeing that the relevant domestic and international textbooks’ researches of class ideology over the years didn’t wholly contain the analysis’ categories of the class, the whole textbook research of class ideology shows its conspicuous necessity.
This research aims at analyzing class ideology in the textbooks. Adopting content analysis to analyze the 2005 school year’s primary school social-study textbooks of Kang Hsuan edition’s one to eight volumes of our country, this research divides “class ideology“ into five aspects: “family''s class“, “occupational class“, “class'' concept“, “class'' value judgment“ and “characteristic of middle class “. Purposes of this research are as follows:
First, this research probes into the scene of family’ class showed in the primary school social-study textbooks.
Second, this research probes into the occupational class appeared in the primary school social-study textbooks.
Third, this research probes into the class’ concept transmitted in the primary school social-study textbooks.
Fourth, this research analyzes the class’ value judgment hidden in the primary school social-study textbooks.
Fifth, this research analyzes the characteristic of middle class contained in the primary school social-study textbooks.
Conclusions of this research are as follows:
First, family''s class aspect: the textbooks show “residential housing of the family“ of the middle and working class, but it is a pity not giving consideration to “family recreation activity” and “material artifact at home” of the working class.
Second, occupational class aspect: the textbooks pay attention to the equality of occupational “occurrence number” of the middle and working class, but still not take the occupational “plurality” into account.
Third, class'' concept aspect:
1. The textbooks transmit the concept of “class is equal“ to blur class consciousness.
2. The textbooks transmit the concept of “class divide for cooperation” to give “class divide” the functional veil.
Fourth, class'' value judgment aspect:
1. The textbooks transmit its value judgment for the middle and working class through the “class'' disparity” phenomena hidden in the ”comparison between personage , city and village, modernity and tradition, housing” in the textbooks.
2. The textbooks give occupational personage of the middle and working class specific marks in “inherent personality” and “appearance wear”, in which the class’ value judgment of “class stereotype” is hidden.
Fifth, characteristic of middle class aspect: Containing the multiple middle class characteristics, the textbooks block the working class students’ intimacy with the content of the textbooks.
Sixth, all in all, the textbooks present the class ideology of family''s class, occupational class, class'' concept, class'' value judgment and characteristic of middle class.
Synthesizing the discovery of research progress and results, this researcher offers the following suggestions for the references of future teachers’ teaching , textbooks writing and follow-up researches:
First, future teachers’ teaching aspect: It is necessary for them to know the textbook of the middle class culture and its effect for the working class students’ bad grades.
Second, future textbooks writing aspect:
1. Family''s class aspect: It is necessary to show the “family recreation activity” and “material artifact at home” of the working class.
2. Occupational class aspect: It is necessary to pay attention to the “equality” of occupational occurrence number of the middle and working class.
3. Class'' concept aspect:
(1) It is necessary to distinguish the difference between the concepts of “occupation” and “industry”.
(2) It is necessary to report the actual conditions of the parade activity without prejudice.
4. Class'' value judgment aspect:
(1) It is necessary to avoid presenting the “comparison” of “disparity” between the middle and working class in the narration and pictures.
(2) It is necessary to avoid appearing the “stereotype” for the middle and working class in the narration and pictures.
5. Characteristic of middle class aspect:
(1) It is necessary to fill with the “narration” for the “foreign culture”, and mention the “appreciation” for the “Chinese culture”.
(2) It is necessary to face the “question of gap between the rich and the poor“, “question of environmental economy” and “question of disparity in city and village” existing in the society.
(3) It is necessary to avoid to “blame labors the unemployment” and “belittle the person who refuses science and technology“.
(4) It is necessary to mention the “participation” for the “local culture” of our country.
6. Textbook committee aspect: It is necessary to include the “working class representative” in the textbook commission.
Third, future researches aspect:
1. It is necessary to expand the research’s object to other “learning field”, “edition”, “form of textbook” and “learning stage”.
2. It is necessary to probe into the “family’s life style” of the middle, working, even superior class further.
3. It is necessary for the definition of “class” to be “wider” and “deeper”.
4. It is necessary to further examine the “superior class characteristic“ and “working class characteristic” which are contained in the textbooks.
5. It is necessary to further analyze the situation of the “superior class” on “family''s class”, “occupational class”, “class'' concept,” and “class'' value judgment“.
6. It is necessary to adopt “classroom observation” to fill with the meaning of the research result.
7. It is necessary to adopt other “research approach“ to carry out the analysis of class ideology in the textbooks.
Key words: Social-study textbook, class, class ideology, content analysis, family''s class, occupational class, class'' concept, class'' value judgment, characteristic of middle class

Texte intégralRésumé :
碩士<br>國立東華大學<br>教育與潛能開發學系<br>107<br>The purpose of the study is to employ the method of content analysis to examine Elementary School English Textbooks and Teachers’ Manuals used most in Hualien on the basis of gender, social class and ethnic analysis. The analytic criteria of gender consists of three categories ─ “frequency of appearance of males and females”,“gender stereotypes” and “family structures”. The analytic criteria of social class consists of “occupations” and “financial lifestyles”. The analytic criteria of ethnicity consists of “cultural characteristics”. The conclusions of this research are as follows: Males receive priority in pictures and illustrative sentences, and are more often the main characters in grammar exercises. Also, male characters are engaged in a more diverse range of occupations than females, and are more likely to work in occupations requiring specialized knowledge. The representations of the ideas of “men are strong and women are weak”and the traditional concept of “men managing external affairs, women domestic”are found in Textbooks. The heterosexual family structure dominates over other family structures. The Textbooks and Teachers’ Manual tend to present occupations and social activities typically associate with middle and upper classes. Western characters are typically present as Caucasian, whereas eastern characters are only present as Han. Moreover, the introduction of western festivals are mostly relate to Christian holidays, whereas eastern festivals are all relate to Han ethnicity. This study critically examines gender, social class and ethnicity at the same time to see how each category affects one and another.

Investigate the production of dissertations generated in the Post-Graduation in Information Science at PUC-Campinas seeking to identify behavioral characteristics of quote of their authors, intending to expand the universe of studies about the issertations in the area. This is a bibliometric study where had been analyzed the references presented in 37 theses approved
during the period 2007 to 2009, and observed the following elements: the total number of documents cited, the sources of information used, type of ownership and age of scientific articles, the language of the documents and the use of translation. The found results were compared with the results found by Rodrigues (1982); Campello et al. (2007) and Noronha et al. (2008). The significance of the variations found was determined from the chi-square test, and the main found results demonstrate a significant increase in the number of documents cited probably due to increased production in the area and easy access offered by new information technologies; low use of primary sources of information especially for theses and dissertations and papers
presented at scientific events and the prevalence in the use of books, significantly greater presence of individual authorship indicating a possible lack of relationship between researchers in the area hindering the strengthening of concepts that underpin area, age above 15 years for articles in English which may indicate lag compared to international scientific frontier; negligible difference between the number of articles in English and the number of articles translated from English which means there is preference of the authors to use of translations that lack of mastery of the language as suggested in previous works.

Texte intégralRésumé :
The Regensburger Verbundklassifikation (RVK) is an established classification scheme for academic libraries and includes index terms for finding classification marks of the RVK. The RVK index terms have been linked to the Integrated Authority File (GND) since 2016. As a result, new opportunities to use the index terms for library catalogue searches have opened up – especially within the context of “explorative searches” as an application possibility for further searches. As these opportunities are barely used yet, the present thesis examines if and to what extent index terms of the RVK are qualified for an integration into library catalogue search. In doing so the following aspects are addressed: To what extent can the index terms of the RVK be utilized for further catalogue searches? Are there parts of the RVK, certain types or the like, which are not or especially qualified for an integration? How to deal with classification marks with more than one index term? The results of the present thesis are based on a quantitative and qualitative evaluation of classification mark samples from selected sections of the RVK. Therefore, title data records, that hold index terms of classification marks as subject headings, are retrieved by use of search requests in the WinIBW. Besides an analysis of the hit rate, the quality of the achieved results is evaluated based on a specially developed scale. The scale shows the extent to which a retrieved title data record corresponds or fits to a classification mark of the RVK (“level of correspondency”). The examined classification marks and their index terms are pooled in three general categories: definitely qualified, definitely not qualified and a major part of cases, that can reasonably only be integrated in catalogue searches under wide preliminary work.
