A Lexicon-based Approach for Sentiment Classification of Amazon Books Reviews in Italian Language
2016
We present a system aimed at the automatic classification of the sentiment orientation expressed into book reviews written in Italian language. The system we have developed is found on a lexicon-based approach and uses NLP techniques in order to take into account the linguistic relation between terms in the analyzed texts. The classification of a review is based on the average sentiment strenght of its sentences, while the classification of each sentence is obtained through a parsing process inspecting, for each term, a window of previous items to detect particular combinations of elements giving inversions or variations of polarity. The score of a single word depends on all the associated …
Mafia Methods, Extortion Dynamics and Social Responses
2016
This chapter is devoted to exploring both the empirical results and the policy proposals produced by the GLODERS project. Based on 631 cases of extortions, the Sicily and Calabria extortion database represents a relevant achievement in the field of the research on extortion racket and it is one of the main results of the GLODERS project. Gathering a great amount of information, our empirical analysis revealed the existence of several differences in the extortive conducts carried on within these two regions, which are presented. Moreover, the chapter introduces the legislation related to the crime of extortion. Social and legal responses to the phenomenon are then discussed.
Les activités de rééducation GAPP à l'école primaire : analyse du fonctionnement et évaluation des effets
1991
Alain Mingat : Die Umschulungsaktivitäten der GAPP (Gruppen zur psychopädagogischer Hilfe) in der Grundschule. Die GAPP wurden vor za. 20 Jahren geschaffen mit dem Zweck, die Schüler zu unterstützen, die vorübergehende Schwierigkeiten zur guten Eingliederung in die Schule aufweisen. Diese Einrichtung wurde bisher lediglich diskursiv analysiert. Der vorliegende Artikel zeigt, dass starke Unterschiede im Funktionieren der Dienstleistungen bestehen (Mittelzuweisung durch die Verwaltung, Umschulungspraxis, allgemein und zwischen den einzelnen GAPP-Einrichtungen) mit der Konsequenz, dass die Zulassungsentscheidungen sehr ungenau sind : das erleichtet nebenbei die Bewertung der Auswirkungen. Dies…
Gütekriterien qualitativer Sozialforschung. Ein Diskussionsanstoß
2018
Zusammenfassung Der Beitrag expliziert Gütekriterien der qualitativen Sozialforschung. Er geht von der Prämisse aus, dass Qualitätsmerkmale in diesem Segment empirischer Sozialforschung nur unter konsequentem Rekurs auf die spezifischen Funktionsbedingungen interpretativer und rekonstruktiver Verfahren zu bestimmen sind. Fünf Kriterien werden vorgeschlagen: Gegenstandsangemessen ist eine Weise der Herstellung des Forschungsgegenstandes, die das empirische Feld ernst nimmt und Methoden, Fragestellungen und Datentypen einer fortlaufenden Justierungsanforderung unterwirft. Empirische Sättigung reflektiert die Güte der Verankerung von Interpretationen im Datenmaterial. Theoretische Durchdringun…
Representation of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women in Swedish News Media: A Discourse Analysis.
2020
Despite being rated as some of the world’s most gender equal countries, Sweden and neighboring Nordic nations show high rates of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). As the news media contribute to the shaping of public attitudes, this article pursues a two-step discourse analysis of how IPVAW was represented in seven Swedish newspapers during 2018. Although an individualistic discourse on IPVAW was found to be most prevalent, articles where perpetrators were presented as non-Swedish more frequently contained a structural framing of IPVAW. This confirms previously noted tendencies toward individualization and othering of IPVAW in Sweden.
Language Policy and Ethnic Tensions in Quebec and Latvia
2004
Introduction Concern for the French language in Quebec in the 1960s and 1970s and the Latvian language in the then Soviet Union in the late 1980s and in the new Latvian state in the 1990s were ignited by some of the same demographic and assimilative forces in the two societies. Both Quebec and Latvia had lost their independence to larger powers. The birth rate and population declined abruptly in the two subnations. Schools in English (in Quebec) and Russian (in Latvia) attracted most immigrants. The elites were disproportionately drawn from outside the majority ethnic groups. To counter these trends, language policies were drafted, restricting access to English and Russian languages in scho…
Etre reconnu : droit ou fantasme ?
2008
Valoriser la notion de reconnaissance, n’est-ce pas ceder a ce mouvement tres contemporain de revendication generalisee de l’individualisme ? Tout le monde en effet desire etre reconnu. L’interet de la notion n’apparait d’abord que negativement : a partir de l’indignation devant une injustice. Mais comment entendre ce sentiment d’injustice et le convertir en processus politique ?
L'accroissement de l'effet de l'origine sociale sur la performance scolaire : par où est-il passé ?
2017
International audience; L'ampleur considérable des inégalités sociales de performances scolaires interroge fortement l'équité de l'école. Nous cherchons, dans ce travail, à mettre en lumière les facteurs de l'accroissement récent de ces inégalités par le biais d'indicateurs disponibles dans les données des enquêtes PISA (2003 et 2012). Nous étudions d'abord l'évolution des différentes composantes de l'indicateur multicritère par lequel l'OCDE mesure le plus souvent le milieu social. Ensuite, nous modélisons, par une analyse en pistes causales, la décomposition de l'effet du statut professionnel des parents sur les performances afin de saisir par quoi il transite. Sont mobilisés des facteurs…
Les deux faces – objective/subjective – de la mobilité sociale
2006
06062; National audience; How does objective social mobility, traditionally measured with tables of mobility drawn up by sociologists, relate to feelings about mobility, i.e., how individuals perceive, explain and appraise their social trajectory? Using a question from a survey (Insee's Formation, qualification professionnelle), subjective mobility was statistically evaluated so as to bring the two approaches to mobility together and measure the (considerable) frequency of deviations. Subjective mobility was then analyzed qualitatively on the basis of interviews conducted with respondents in the same survey. This helps us account for deviations and identify the bundle of parameters that peo…
The internationality imperative in academia. The ascent of internationality as an academic virtue
2017
ABSTRACTThe paper investigates internationality as an academic virtue that is highly relevant for research biographies. The discursive trajectory of this virtue is assessed by comparing ascriptions of internationality in 216 academic obituaries from the US, UK and Germany, from physics, sociology and history, and from the 1960s, 1980s and 2000s. Our analysis reveals that internationality as a virtue is more prevalent in German than in US obituaries, that it plays a greater role in physics than in history obituaries, and that, independent from national and disciplinary contexts, the ascription of internationality increases over time. The results are relevant for research on academic values a…
