Evaluation of the Conceptual Model for Corporate Identity Management in Health Care
2014
Abstract This paper reflects findings from the evaluation of the conceptual model for corporate identity management in health care developed by Rutitis and Batraga (2013) . First, expert surveying (n=8) was carried out to evaluate the understanding of the health care experts regarding assumptions included in the development of the conceptual model for corporate identity management in health care. During the second stage, health care sector company survey (n=52) was implemented to evaluate the expression of corporate identity dimensions outlined in model by Rutitis and Batraga within the health care enterprises in Latvia
Identity and Access Management for Remote Maintenance Services in Business Networks
2007
Access to information systems across corporate boundaries with high demands to privacy and trust result into ambitious research and development targets. This study provides motivation and a roadmap for approaching integrated security management solutions in a business network of partners with heterogeneous ICT and security infrastructures. We aim at describing specifics of identity and access management in inter-organizational collaboration, and a vision and arguments for identity and access management in a business network. A case study with Metso Paper, Inc., the leading manufacturer of paper machinery and related services, validates the results, thus providing a motivating example of the…
Basking in Reflected Glory and Blasting
2007
This study examines, in soccer fanzines, two identity-management strategies—basking in reflected glory (BIRGing) and blasting—of two groups of highly identified soccer fans with allegiance to the same team. Results show strong support for the BIRG phenomenon among both ultra fan groups but little evidence of the blasting phenomenon among either group. The implications of these findings are discussed in regard to social identity management among sports fans.
An Embedded Biometric Sensor for Ubiquitous Authentication
2013
Communication networks and distributed technologies move people towards the era of ubiquitous computing. An ubiquitous environment needs many authentication sensors for users recognition, in order to provide a secure infrastructure for both user access to resources and services and information management. Today the security requirements must ensure secure and trusted user information to protect sensitive data resource access and they could be used for user traceability inside the platform. Conventional authentication systems, based on username and password, are in crisis since they are not able to guarantee a suitable security level for several applications. Biometric authentication systems…
A Multimodal Technique for an Embedded Fingerprint Recognizer in Mobile Payment Systems
2009
The development and the diffusion of distributed systems, directly connected to recent communication technologies, move people towards the era of mobile and ubiquitous systems. Distributed systems make merchant-customer relationships closer and more flexible, using reliable e-commerce technologies. These systems and environments need many distributed access points, for the creation and management of secure identities and for the secure recognition of users. Traditionally, these access points can be made possible by a software system with a main central server. This work proposes the study and implementation of a multimodal technique, based on biometric information, for identity management a…
Casual spectators and die-hard fans’ reactions to their team defeat: A look at the role of territorial identification in elite French rugby
2012
This research investigated the role of two foci of identification (team and territory) on identity management strategies used by sport followers in the particular context of elite French rugby union. In study 1 which dealt with casual spectators (N = 153), the results corroborated numerous studies conducted in the North-American context and showed that team identification constitutes a strong driver for offensive and loyalty reactions. In study 2 which dealt with die-hard fans (N = 64), it appeared that team identification seems to be the best predictor of team loyalty strategy whereas territorial identification seems to be the first predictor of offensive strategies. Taken together, the st…
The impacts of legitimacy appraisal of defeat on supporters’ identity management strategies: Testing the role of emotions
2022
Emotion is a central feature of many competitive sports. In this regard, re- search revealed that defeats have powerful impacts on athletes who can feel deep- ly distressed or annoyed. Comparatively, relatively few studies have directly ad- dressed the emotional experience of supporters associated with losing teams. This is surprising when taking into account the negative consequences of emotions on intergroup relations (i.e., fans riots). To fill this gap, it is crucial to identify to whom these emotions are addressed. In this study, we proposed that the ob- ject of specific emotions would trigger the use of specific identity management strategies depending on the legitimacy appraisal of t…
Basking in Reflected Glory and Blasting : Differences in identity management strategies between two groups of highly identified soccer fans
2007
This study examines in soccer fanzine two identity management strategies - BIRGing and blasting -- of two groups of highly identified soccer fans with allegiance to the same team. Results showed strong support for the BIRG phenomenon among both ultra fans groups but little evidence of the blasting phenomenon among either group. The implications of these findings are discussed in regards to social identity management among sport fans.
Krievijas Federācijas ietekmes meklējumi Āfrikā: ekonomiskā, militārā un diplomātiskā sadarbība
2020
Šī maģistra darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai Krievijas Federācijas plaši deklamētais “atgriešanās” Āfrikā rīcības plāns ir balstīts KF globālā statusa politikas apsvērumos. Lai to noskaidrotu darba teorētiskajā ietvarā tiek apkopota informācija par statusa konceptu, sociālās identitātes teoriju un identitātes pārvaldības stratēģijām. Par darba teorētisko pamatu galvenokārt tiek izmantoti Deboras Velčas Larsones, Alekseja Ševčenko un Tomasa Voldžija, darbi. Darba empīrisko daļu veido divas daļas. Pirmajā tiek analizēta KF un Āfrikas valstu vēsturiskā sadarbības perspektīva, bet otrajā daļā tiek aplūkotas KF pašreizējās aktivitātes Āfrikā. KF uzvedība tiek analizēta sociālās identitātes pārval…
Mentālo slimību kategorizācija un pieņemšana vācu medicīnas studentu vidū
2020
Izmantojot medicīnas antropoloģijas pieeju un Guda un Klainmana darbus, es pētu, kā medicīnas studenti no Vācijas kategorizē mentālas grūtības. "Mentālas grūtības" attiecas uz dažāda līmeņa pieredzēm, kuras pētījuma dalībnieki uzskatīja par nepatīkamām. Balstoties padziļinātās intervijās un līdzdalīgajā novērojumā, es parādu, kā grūtības tiek kategorizētas kā nopietnas/nekaitīgas un normālas/nenormālas. Pirmā atšķirība balstījās pašu student noteiktos konkrētos kritērijos, kamēr grūtību nosaukšana par "normālām" saistījās ar pašu p’et’ijuma dalībnieku studiju pieredzi. Savas un tuvu draugu grūtības tika normalizētas. Lai izprastu šo normalizāciju, es pētīju medicīnas studenta ideālu. Saskar…
