The importance of language : the impact of linguistic vitality on intergroup tensions

Cette thèse vise à mieux comprendre les tensions ethniques. Ceci est fait en explorant, dans une étude en quatre parties, l'une de ses caractéristiques les plus importantes mais sévèrement négligées: la langue. S’inspirant des traditions de recherche de la sociolinguistique, de la psychologie sociale et de la science politique, cette thèse fournit une analyse en profondeur de l'influence de la langue sur les relations intergroupes. Elle le fait, spécifiquement, en se concentrant sur l'influence que la vitalité linguistique, la santé sociale d'une langue, a sur les tensions sociales. Cette thèse propose un cadre théorique dans lequel le niveau de vitalité linguistique contribue à générer des griefs culturels qui ont une incidence par la suite sur les relations intergroupes. Le premier article explore la relation macro entre la vitalité linguistique et l'intensité des conflits intergroupes. Les résultats, dérivés de données de l'Atlas UNESCO des langues en danger dans le monde et du projet Minorities at Risk (MAR), démontrent une relation curvilinéaire où les niveaux bas et élevé de vitalité linguistique génèrent une intensité inférieure au niveau modéré de vitalité. Ces résultats confirment que la vitalité linguistique est un déterminant important des tensions ethniques fondées sur la langue d'une manière générale, mais encore davantage pour les pays ayant plusieurs minorités linguistiques. Le deuxième article explore l'influence de la vitalité linguistique sur la confiance politique. Il utilise des données de l'Atlas UNESCO des langues en danger dans le monde ainsi que des données du European Social Survey (ESS). Les résultats soutiennent un modèle de médiation dans lequel la vitalité linguistique influence positivement la confiance politique d'une manière directe ainsi qu’indirectement par le biais de la discrimination perçue. Le troisième article cherche à isoler la séquence socio-psychologique qui relie la vitalité linguistique aux tensions intergroupes. Des données de sondage originales ont été recueillies auprès de francophones du Québec, de l'Ontario, du Nouveau-Brunswick et du Manitoba. Les résultats d’analyses de régression multiple soutiennent une séquence socio-psychologique dans laquelle la menace endogroupe influence les attitudes envers l’exogroupe par le biais de la menace perçue comme étant causée par l’exogroupe. Ainsi, ces constats soulignent l'importance des perceptions de la vitalité linguistique pour les attitudes intergroupes. Le quatrième article, produit en collaboration avec Patrick Fournier et Veronica Benet-Martinez, utilise un protocole expérimental pour déterminer le rôle causal de la vitalité linguistique sur les attitudes intergroupes. Les résultats démontrent que le type d'information, positif ou négatif, au sujet de la vitalité linguistique influence les perceptions de menace envers une langue. Cependant, les résultats quant à l'impact de l’information à propos de la vitalité linguistique sur les attitudes envers l’exogroupe, l’appui à la souveraineté et l'identité subjective sont moins évidents. Cette thèse permet de mieux comprendre les tensions intergroupes en démontrant le rôle important que joue la vitalité linguistique sur des phénomènes macros ainsi que sur les attitudes des individus.

Representaciones sociales hegemónicas y polémicas en el contexto de identidad rural [TC]

El objetivo de este estudio es conocer las representaciones de lo rural y lo urbano con el intento de comprender cómo miembros de una comunidad rural se posicionan frente a la estructura social y simbólica hegemónicamente urbana. Se obtuvo el conjunto de datos a través de entrevistas a 200 integrantes de una comunidad rural, contemplando los siguientes núcleos de información: motivaciones para éxodo/permanencia en el territorio, experiencia de prejuicios, estereotipos atribuidos al grupo rural, y valores endo/exo-grupales. Los resultados referentes a las motivaciones para el éxodo o permanencia en el campo revelaron el predominio del proyecto de vida vinculado a lo rural. Los clásicos estereotipos de roceiros, bobos y caipiras fueran identificados como la imagen social del hombre del campo, elementos que producen el escenario conflictivo estratégico a la elaboración de representaciones defensivas, siendo el endogrupo rural asociado a valores positivos, y la ciudad, a significados negativamente valorizados. Se discute el imaginario grupal como campo de fuerzas en el que se elaboran representaciones polémicas en respuesta a la hegemonía urbana.

Can a great resume hurt? Gender and contrast effects on recruiting

Recruiters make many inferences about applicants' abilities and interpersonal attributes on the basis of applicants' resumes. For example, every once in a while, a good resume leaves a strong positive impression and the recruiter creates a high expectation for the selection interview. What if a disappointing interview follows? Will the great resume help or hurt the candidate? The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of a good resume on the recruiter’s evaluation of a candidate when a non-enthusiastic interview follows as well as the interacting role of gender. The results of two online experiments (n=454) where participants played the role of the recruiter, showed that, on average, a very good resume (vs. no resume) before a non-enthusiastic interview did not affect the recruiter’s evaluation of the candidate. However, when the recruiter’s and the candidate’s gender were taken into consideration, a different picture emerged. While no effect was found for male recruiters, the candidate’s resume had a clear significant impact on female recruiter’s evaluations: when the candidate was also a female, the good resume shown before the non-enthusiastic interview performance tended to help, whereas when the candidate was a male, the good resume had a significant negative effect on female recruiters’ evaluation of the candidate. In sum, in situations where the resume had a strong impact on the recruiter’s evaluation (female recruiters), the direction of the effect was moderated by the candidate’s gender. Gender differences in information processing as well as in-group/out-group biases due to gender matching are used to hypothesize and explain the main findings.

Molecular phylogeny of Moenkhausia (Characidae) inferred from mitochondrial and nuclear DNA evidence

Moenkhausia is one of the most speciose genera in Characidae, currently composed of 75 nominal species of small fishes distributed across South American hydrographic basins, primarily the Amazon and Guyanas. Despite the large number of described species, studies involving a substantial number of its species designed to better understand their relationships and putative monophyly are still lacking. In this study, we analysed a large number of species of Moenkhausia to test the monophyly of the genus based on the phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences of two mitochondrial and three nuclear genes. The in-group included 29 species of Moenkhausia, and the out-group was composed of representatives of Characidae and other members of Characiformes. All species of Moenkhausia belong to the same clade (Clade C); however, they appear distributed in five monophyletic groups along with other different genera, which means that Moenkhausia is polyphyletic and indicates the necessity of an extensive revision of the group. © 2013 Blackwell Verlag GmbH.

Análise cladística e descrição de um grupo novo de espécies de Edessa (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae, Edessinae)

A subordem Heteroptera, é o maior táxon dentre os hemimetábolos, composta por sete infraordens, 23 superfamílias e 80 famílias. Dentre estas, Pentatomidae é a quarta família mais numerosa e diversa entre os heterópteros, possuindo 4.100 espécies distribuídas em 760 gêneros e em sete subfamílias. Edessinae possui atualmente cerca de 290 espécies distribuídas em seis gêneros: Edessa, Brachystethus, Peromatus, Olbia, Pantochlora e Doesburgedessa. De todos estes gêneros, Edessa é o que possui o maior número de espécies e o que concentra quase a totalidade dos problemas taxonômicos e nomenclaturas da subfamília. Devido ao seu tamanho, a revisão está sendo feita em partes, a partir do estudo de grupos de espécies unidos por possíveis sinapomorfias. Assim o objetivo geral do trabalho é propor e descrever um novo grupo de espécies com base em uma análise cladística. Para o estudo foram examinados 114 exemplares pertencentes a instituições nacionais e internacionais e a coleções particulares. As descrições seguem um modelo tradicional também usado para Edessinae. São apresentadas medidas e fotografias das espécies, desenhos do processo metasternal e genitália de ambos os sexos, chave dicotômica e mapa de distribuição. Para a analise cladística, foram levantados 22 caracteres morfológicos polarizados através do método do grupo externo, composto pelas espécies: Tibilis sp., Neotibilis fulvicornis, Brachystethus cribrus, Pantochlora vivida, Olbia elegans, Peromatus sp., Doesburgedessa elongatispina, Edessa cervus e Edessa affinis. Através do programa NONA foi obtida uma única árvore mais parcimoniosa, com 30 passos, índice de Consistência de 0,93 e índice de Retenção de 0,97. Com base nessa análise, o monofiletismo do grupo de espécie é confirmado. Assim, o grupo stolida aqui proposto é formado por quatro espécies já descritas Edessa stolida (Linnaeus, 1758), Edessa heymonsi Breddin, 1904, Edessa verhoeffi Breddin, 1904 e Edessa paravinula Barber, 1935 e por cinco espécies novas. O grupo stolida de Edessa é reconhecido pela presença de uma expansão que se projeta da margem lateral da face posterior do segmento X; região mediana do parâmero com uma projeção de formato triangular; ausência de uma faixa ou de tufo de pelos na face posterior do segmento X e gonapófise 8 esclerotizada. As espécies do grupo stolida são muito parecidas externamente e sua identificação só pode ser feita através da análise da genitália externa de ambos os sexos. A análise cladística apóia a idéia tradicional e o grupo stolida deve ser considerado parte do subgênero Hypoxys de Edessa. A topologia do cladograma resultante é (Tibilis sp. + Neotibilis fulvicornis (Brachystethus cribus (Pantochlora vivida ((Doesbuergedessa elongatispina + Edessa cervus (Peromatus sp. + Olbia elegans)) (Edessa affinis ((Edessa sp. nov 3 + Edessa sp. nov 3a) ((Edessa sp. nov 2 (Edessa verhoeffi + Edessa heymonsi)) (Edessa stolida (Edessa sp. nov 4 (Edessa paravinula + Edessa sp. nov 5))))))))). A fêmea de Edessa stolida e o macho de Edessa verhoeffi são descritos pela primeira vez neste trabalho. Os registros de distribuição das espécies são ampliados.

Revisão e análise cladística do gênero Ascra say, 1832, com considerações sobre a filogenia de Edessinae (Heteroptera, Pentatomidae)

Edessinae é uma das maiores subfamílias de Pentatomidae com cerca de 300 espécies conhecidas e mais de 300 ainda não descritas, distribuídas em apenas seis gêneros - Edessa, Brachystethus, Peromatus, Olbia, Pantochlora e Doesburgedessa. A maior parte das espécies pertence ao gênero Edessa que concentra também quase a totalidade dos problemas taxonômicos da subfamília. Esse gênero é usado como depósito de espécies da subfamília, sendo que tal fato se deve à confusão entre os limites da própria subfamília e do gênero Edessa. A solução desses problemas passa necessariamente pela reavaliação dos subgêneros de Edessa e mudanças taxonômicas em Edessinae. O presente trabalho objetivou reavaliar o status taxonômico de Ascra até então subgênero de Edessa, e seu posicionamento filogenético em Edessinae. Foram estudados 411 exemplares obtidos por empréstimos de várias instituições e coleções particulares. Foram apresentadas descrições, medidas e fotografias das espécies, desenhos de estruturas com importância sistemática como o processo metasternal e genitália de ambos os sexos, chave dicotômica e mapa de distribuição. Para a análise cladística foram incluídos 28 táxons e levantados 33 caracteres morfológicos, dos quais oito multiestados que foram tratados como não aditivos. O grupo externo, foi composto por 14 espécies representando todos os gêneros de Edessinae e subgêneros de Edessa. Edessinae resultou como monofilético, no entanto Edessa saiu como parafilético. Ascra foi reconhecido como monofilético, apoiado por duas sinapomorfias. Esse gênero passou a ser formado pelas espécies: A. bifida, A. cordifera, A. petersii, A. abdita, A. championi, A. privata, A. conspersa, A. morbosa e por mais seis espécies novas. Dois novos grupos de espécies foram propostos para Ascra: bifida e privata. Os machos de A. abdita, A. morbosa e A. cordifera e as fêmeas de A. championi e A. privata, desconhecidos até o momento, foram descritos. Novos arranjos nomenclaturais foram realizados. O lectótipo de Edessa abdita foi designado. As espécies Edessa cornuta, Edessa densata, Edessa picata e Edessa florida foram consideradas sinônimos-juniores de A. bifida.

Policing and Islamophobia in Germany – The Role of Workplace Experience

This study starts from a recognition of the German police force as having a significant potential for promoting integration in contemporary multiethnic Germany. It employs three measures of Islamophobic attitudes and contact quality amongst a sample of 727 German police officers, and relates these to measures of job-satisfaction, political affiliation, individual responsibility, and recognition. The data reveal Islamophobia to be significantly linked to these variables. Detailed analyses indicate that the respondents’ experience of policing may produce levels of dissatisfaction that impacts upon their out-group attitudes. The implications of this for initiatives to promote police–Muslim relations are explored.

Definition einer kritischen Situation im Fussball - Ergebnisse einer Experten-Fokusgruppe

Einleitung Bei der Untersuchung von Ausschreitungen bei Fußballspielen sind kritische Situationen (KS) interessant, die sich durch eine erhöhte Spannung auszeichnen, aber nicht immer in Gewalt enden. Es stellt sich die Frage, an welchen Merkmalen eine KS in situ erkannt werden kann, und ob dies mit theoretischen Erklärungen verglichen werden kann, wie z.B. mit dem Aggravation and Mitigation Model (Hylander & Guvå, 2010). Methode Um Kriterien einer KS festzulegen, wurde eine Fokusgruppe (Bohnsack, 2007) mit fünf Experten für Zuschauergewalt durchgeführt: zwei Polizisten mit Leitungsfunktion, zwei Fanarbeiter sowie ein Fanverantwortlicher eines Fussballstadions. In der ersten Phase gestalteten die Teilnehmer die Diskussion nach einer offenen einleitenden Frage möglichst autonom. In der zweiten Phase stellte die Moderatorin Fragen zur Klärung früherer Aussagen und bisher nicht erwähnten Themen. Angesprochen wurden das Fanverhalten, Alkoholkonsum und das Verhalten der Polizei. Die ersten beiden Autoren führten unabhängig eine zusammenfassende qualitative Inhaltsanalyse (Mayring, 2008) des transkribierten Gesprächs durch, um die Aussagen zu strukturieren und zu kategorisieren. Ergebnisse und Diskussion Verschiedene Kriterien zur Identifizierung einer KS wurden gefunden, beispielsweise „fehlende Distanz zwischen Fans und Polizei“, „Vermummung der Fans“, „Zusammenrücken der Fangruppe“ sowie „Aktionen ausserhalb der Fanrituale“. Diese und weitere Kategorien lassen sich vier Überkategorien zuordnen und damit strukturieren. Es gelang, durch die Methode der Fokusgruppe, relevante und beobachtbare Faktoren zu identifizieren, um kritische Situationen im Kontext der Fußballzuschauer auch dann zu erkennen, wenn es nicht zu Ausschreitungen kommt. Dies ist eine wichtige Voraussetzung, um die Dynamik der Gewalteskalation oder Mitigation im Feld untersuchen zu können. Literatur Bohnsack, R. (2007). Gruppendiskussion. In U.

Perception of critical situations involving football fans: dynamics of conflict escalation and de-escalation

Title: The perception of critical situations involving football fans – how conflicts escalate or de-escalate Authors: Brechbühl, A.1, Schumacher, A.1 & Seiler, R.1 1Institute of Sport Science, University of Bern, Switzerland Abstract: Introduction: Fan violence in the context of football matches is a prominent issue in today’s western societies and Switzerland presents no exception. A lot of research has been conducted on reasons for fan violence, mostly with fans of national teams. A prominent model is the Elaborated Social Identity Model (ESIM; Drury & Reicher, 2000): ESIM highlights the importance of interactions between the involved groups and their effect on the development of social identities. Another model is the aggravation mitigation model (AM model; Hylander & Guvå, 2010) which illustrates factors that can contribute towards an escalation or non-escalation of group violence, such as the “categorization” of the opponent group. Despite these models, research about the individual perceptions, and in particular, what factors distinguish between an escalation versus a non-escalation of a potentially violent situation in domestic football, is as yet scarce. This explorative study examines perceptions of critical situations in the domestic football fan context in Switzerland. Methods: An explorative qualitative design was employed to gather data about critical situations (CS) around football matches of two clubs of the Raiffeisen Super League. A CS is defined as a setting in or around the football stadium where violence between football fans and another group could occur. Eight CS were identified and analysed. Fifty-nine narrative interviews with individuals involved in a CS, e.g. fans, police officers or security personnel, were conducted. Interviews were analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). Results: The involved opposing groups expressed group-specific perceptions. Furthermore a strong tendency to negatively stereotype the opponent group was observed. Provocative symbols, such as balaclavas or riot-gear uniforms, were considered as highly relevant for the interpretation of the situation. Successful communication and sufficient distance between opponent groups supported the appeasement of a CS. These findings also underline the importance of knowledge about the local fan culture. This culture serves as basis for the perception of legitimacy, which was assessed to be essential for a de-escalation of a CS by fans. Discussion/Conclusion: This study improves the understanding of fan violence in the domestic football context in Switzerland. Based on the results it is suggested to deploy security or police forces without riot gear but with the goal of seeking dialogue with the fans to increase the likelihood of a peaceful ending in a CS. The findings also support the applicability of the ESIM (Drury & Reicher, 2000) and the AM model (Hylander & Guvå, 2010) in the context of domestic fan violence. Due to possible differences in the local fan cultures in Switzerland, research in this area should be continued. References: Drury, J., & Reicher, S. (2000).

Evaluation of an inventory for the assessment of critical incidents involving football fans

Introduction: Fan violence is a frequent occurrence in Swiss football (Bundesamt für Polizei, 2015) leading to high costs for prevention and control (Mensch & Maurer, 2014). Various theories put forward an explanation of fan violence, such as the Elaborated Social Identity Model (Drury & Reicher, 2000) and the Aggravation Mitigation Model (Hylander & Guvå, 2010). Important observations from these theories are the multi-dimensional understanding of fan violence and the dynamics occurring in the fan group. Nevertheless, none of them deal with critical incidents (CIs) which involve a tense atmosphere combined with a higher risk of fan violence. Schumacher Dimech, Brechbühl and Seiler (2015) tackled this gap in research and explored CIs where 43 defining criteria were identified and compiled in an integrated model of CIs. The defining criteria were categorised in four higher-order themes “antecedents” (e.g. a documented history of fan rivalry), “triggers” (e.g. the arrest of a fan), “reactions” (e.g. fans masking themselves) and “consequences” (e.g. fans avoiding communication with fan social workers). Methods: An inventory based on this model is being developed including these 43 criteria. In an exploratory phase, this inventory was presented as an online questionnaire and was completed by 143 individuals. Three main questions are examined: Firstly, the individual items are tested using descriptive analyses. An item analysis is conducted to test reliability, item difficulty and discriminatory power. Secondly, the model’s four higher-order themes are tested using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Thirdly, differences between sub-groups are explored, such as gender and agerelated differences. Results: Respondents rated the items’ importance as high and the quota of incomplete responses was not systematic. Two items were removed from the inventory because of low mean or a high rate of “don’t know”-responses. EFA produced a six-factor solution grouping items into match-related factors, repressive measures, fans’ delinquent behaviour, intra-group behaviour, communication and control and inter-group factors. The item “fans consume alcohol” could not be ordered into any category but was retained since literature accentuates this factor’s influence on fan violence. Analyses examining possible differences between groups are underway. Discussion: Results exploring the adequacy of this inventory assessing defining criteria of CIs in football are promising and thus further evaluative investigation is recommended. This inventory can be used in two ways: as a standardised instrument of assessment for experts evaluating specific CIs and as an instrument for exploring differences in perception and assessment of a CI e.g. gender and age differences, differences between interest groups and stakeholders.

Malaria prevention in Kenyan women of childbearing age

The objective of this program is to reduce malaria incidence in Kenya. Malaria poses a large public health challenge in Kenya, and although public health efforts have traditionally been focused on treatment of infected patients, due to increased drug resistance and lack of drug-adherence, prevention strategies are needed. This program targets Kenyan women, the likely caretakers in the home, and promotes malaria prevention behaviors through health education. ^ A planning group will be assembled and a needs assessment will be performed, verifying risk factors and conditions associated with malaria, as well as personal and external determinants. Behavioral and environmental outcomes will be determined, and performance objectives for each outcome will be established. Matrices of change objectives will be created, and detailed methods and strategies will be linked to each change objective. Program elements include media, education, and incentives. All materials used in this program will be subjected to pre-test to ensure cultural relevance and fidelity. Matrices of change objectives will be created for program adopters and implementers, as well as correlating methods and strategies associated with each change objective. Performance objectives will also be compiled for program maintainers. A program evaluation plan will follow "Pre-Post Comparison Group" design. Outcome evaluation and process evaluation will be conducted. The sample population will be screened based on age and gender so as to maintain comparability to the target population. Measurements will be taken before the program to establish baseline, directly following the program to determine short-term effects, and three months after the program is completed to determine long-term effects. ^ One limitation of this program is selection bias, due to the nature of quasi-experimental studies. Thorough screening prior to sample selection will minimize selection bias and ensure group homogeneity. Another limitation is attrition, and this will be minimized where possible through the use of incentives. In cases where loss to follow-up is not avoidable, such as death or natural disasters, the attrition effect will be estimated using structural equation modeling after reviewing the sample size, differential attrition and total attrition. ^ This intervention is based heavily on health promotion theories, but it is important to remember that in the field, the program plan will likely include only the necessary practical strategies. The target population, Kenyan women of childbearing age, will be significant in decreasing the malaria disease burden in Kenya.^
