Abstract:

Cybersecurity event management is critical to the successful accomplishment of an organization’s mission. To put it in perspective, in 2016 Symantec tracked over 700 global adversaries and recorded events from 98 million sensors (Aimoto et al., 2017). Studies show that in 2015, more than 55% of the cyberattacks on government operation centers were due to negligence and the lack of skilled personnel to perform network security duties including the failure to properly identify events (Ponemon, 2015a). Practitioners are charged to perform as first responders to any event that affects the network. Inconsistencies and errors that occur at this level can determine the outcome of an event.

In a time when 91% of Americans believe they have lost control over how information is collected and secured, there is nothing more dangerous than thinking new technology is not vulnerable to attacks (Rainie, 2016). Assailants target those with weak security postures who are unprepared, distracted or lack fundamental elements to identify significant events and secure the environment.

Under executive order, to address these concerns organizations such as the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and International Organization of Standards (ISO) developed cybersecurity frameworks, which have been widely accepted as industry standards. These standards focus on business drivers to guide cybersecurity activities and risks within critical infrastructure. It outlines a set of cybersecurity activities, references, and outcomes that can be used to align its cyber activities with business requirements at a high-level.

This praxis explores the solution provider’s role in and method of securing environments through their event management practices. Solution providers are a critical piece of proper event management. They are often contracted to provide solutions that adhere to a NIST type framework with little to no guidance. There are supportive documents and guides for event management but nothing substantive like the Cybersecurity Framework and ISO 27001 has been adopted. Using existing processes and protocols an event management framework is proposed that can be utilized to properly manage events and aid solution providers in their cybersecurity mission.

Knowledge of event management was captured through subject matter expertise and supported through literature review and investigation. Statistical methods were used to identify deficiencies in cyber operations that would be worth addressing in an event management framework.

Abstract:

The introduction of the Evidence Amendment Act (1989) in New Zealand allowed for children�s evidence to be videotaped and to be presented in court at a later time as evidence-in-chief. Typically, children see these tapes for the first time in court when they are required to be present for cross-examination, frequently months, or even years, after the evidence was recorded. From a theoretical perspective, allowing children to view a pre-recorded interview may be potentially beneficial, serving to remind the child of what was said at an earlier interview, and reactivating or �refreshing� the child�s memory of the event. It is also possible that viewing the videotape will have detrimental effects on children�s reports. For example, errors may be compounded when children see themselves make an error or complying with a suggestion on videotape. In a series of five studies, the current thesis examined what effect, if any, viewing an earlier interview had on children�s subsequent reports about an event. In all studies presented, children took part in an event, and then were interviewed about that event 1-2 weeks later. That interview contained misinformation, which was introduced in questions. In Study 1, children watched their own videotaped interview 24 hours prior to being re-interviewed about an event in which they had participated seven months earlier. At Interview 2, the reports from these children were not very different from those of children who had no reminder, but they did report more information in free recall. In Study 2, children viewed their pre-recorded interview immediately prior to Interview 2, rather than 24 hours prior, as in the first study. In addition, the delay between the event and Interview 2 was extended to 12 months. These changes were made to maximize any possible effects of the videotape as a reminder. In this study, there were greater differences between the reports of children who had, and who had not, viewed the earlier interview. These relative gains in information were not at the expense of accuracy. Study 3 aimed to replicate the results of Study 2, using a larger sample. Due to circumstances beyond the Experimenter�s control, the participant number included in this study was reduced. The pattern of results in the present study was generally similar to the results observed in Study 2. One group of participants participated in an additional event shortly before the end of the delay period between the interviews. This provided a unique opportunity to assess whether viewing a pre-recorded interview would assist with source monitoring, as the additional event was very similar to the first event. Study 4 examined this data. Results of this study indicated that the intervening visit interfered with the effectiveness of the pre-recorded interview as a memory aid. In addition, viewing the videotaped interview did not assist the children with source monitoring. Study 5 examined whether the results from Studies 2 and 3 would generalise to a different event. The results suggested that a videotaped interview was much less effective with the different event. It is likely that this was because the event was less interactive, potentially less salient, and less familiar to the participants than the event used in the previous studies. Study 6 combined the data from the previous five studies, in order to increase the statistical power. By doing this, it was anticipated that the consistent aspects of the results would become clearer, and that the inconsistent findings would be eliminated. Indeed, this study summarized the strengths of the earlier studies, and demonstrated that children�s reports at Interview 2 were enhanced when they viewed their videotape of Interview 1. This enhancement did not lead to an increased number of errors for the reminder group. Taken together, these findings suggest that viewing a videotape of an earlier interview has some advantages and no detrimental effects on children�s subsequent reports. Errors spontaneously generated by the children tended to be minor, did not increase following exposure to the earlier interview, and were not repeated across the interviews. Watching a prior, videotaped interview had most benefit on increasing the information reported in free recall, and did not reduce accuracy. This is important, as free recall in interviews with children is typically accurate, but brief. Further, when asked direct questions, in some cases children who had seen a prior interview tended to be more likely to provide the correct answer. These findings are considered in the context of current legal reforms.

Abstract:

Primary Water Stress Corrosion Cracking (PWSCC) of Alloy 600 and similar Ni-Cr-Fe alloys is regarded as one of the most important challenges to nuclear power plant operation. During the past decades the majority of research has focused on PWSCC crack growth rate measurements in order to assess the lifetime of real components and to develop empirical models for crack propagation. However, the incubation and initiation stages of PWSCC have the same or even greater importance than the propagation stage, particularly because SCC can be undetected for more than 20 years before the occurrence of a rapid and catastrophic failure. There is, therefore, the scientific need to understand the mechanisms playing a fundamental role in the formation and development of intergranular cracks embryo, the so-called SCC initiation "precursor events", in order to be able to predict and mitigate the occurrence of PWSCC. Amongst all the models proposed for SCC initiation, the internal oxidation mechanism proposed by Scott and Le Calvar in 1992 appears to be the most comprehensive. Although the internal oxidation mechanism is widely accepted, it still requires further elucidation, especially in terms of enhanced grain boundary diffusivity and the role of intergranular carbides on the oxidation mechanism. The present work has focused on the initial stages of intergranular oxidation of solution-annealed (SA) and thermally-treated (TT) Alloy 600 with the aim of understanding the active mechanism responsible for the enhanced intergranular oxide penetration kinetics. The material was tested in simulated PWR primary water at 320°C, high-pressure hydrogenated-steam at 400°C and low-pressure H2-steam environment at 480°C at potential more reducing than the Ni/NiO equilibrium. The detailed microstructural characterization was conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and analytical transmission electron microscopy (ATEM) and demonstrated that Alloy 600SA is susceptible to diffusion-induced grain boundary migration (DIGM), preferential intergranular oxidation (PIO) and localised Cr and Fe depletions at the grain boundaries. The similar analyses performed on Alloy 600TT demonstrated reduced susceptibility to PIO and grain boundary migration. Further, detailed analyses confirmed that intergranular carbides were readily oxidized/consumed in all 3 environments and acted as Cr reservoir/O trap. These results shed additional light on the "precursor events" for PWSCC of Alloy 600, especially on the mechanism responsible for the enhanced Cr and O diffusivity and on the mechanism responsible for the enhanced Alloy 600TT SCC initiation resistance. Moreover, the strong similarities in the Alloy 600 oxidation behaviour observed for the 3 different environments and at the 3 different temperatures suggested that the same PIO mechanism is active in both steam and water and at temperatures between 320°C and 480°C. These results strongly support the possibility of using the low-pressure H2-steam environment as a substitute environment to accelerate PWSCC initiation without changing the mechanism.

Abstract:

With the increasing focus on patient safety and human error, understanding how practitioners make decisions during critical incidents is important. Despite the move towards evidence-based practice, research shows that much decision making is based on intuition and heuristics (“rules of thumb”). The purpose of this study was to examine and evaluate the methodologic feasibility of a strategy for comparing traditional cognition versus the use of algorithms programmed on a personal digital assistant (FDA) in the management of unanticipated critical events by certiﬁed registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs). A combined qualitative-quantitative methodology was utilized. The quantitative element consists of a pilot study using a cross-over trial design. Two case scenarios were carried out in a full-scale, high ﬁdelity, simulated anesthesia care delivery environment. Four subjects participated in both scenarios, one without and one with a PDA containing a catalog of approximately 30 events with diagnostic and treatment related information in second scenario. Audio—videotaping of the scenarios allowed for deﬁnitive descriptive analysis of items of interest, including time to correct diagnosis and deﬁnitive intervention. The qualitative approach consisted of a phenomenological investigation of problem solving and perceptions of FDA use and the simulation experience by the participants using “think aloud” and retrospective verbal reports, semi-structured group interviews, and written evaluations. Qualitative results revealed that participants found the PDA algorithms useful despite some minor technical difﬁculties and the simulated environment and case scenarios realistic, but also described feelings of expectation, anxiety, and pressure. Problem solving occurred in a hypothetico-deductive manner. More hypotheses were considered when using the PDA. Time to correct diagnosis and treatment varied by scenario, taking less time with the PDA for one but taking longer with the PDA for the other, likely due to differences in pace and intensity of the two scenarios. The methodologic investigation revealed several areas for improvement including more precise control of case scenarios. All participants agreed with the value of using high ﬁdelity simulation, particularly for problem solving of critical events, and provided useful information for more effective utilization of this tool for education and research.

The main Supply Chain current issues concern the adaptation to unstable environments. Demand Driven Material Requirements Planning (DDMRP) is a recent and promising material management method that is designed to tackle these current issues. The research work details and classifies DDMRP compared to the other material management methods known. The goal of this work is to challenge the main DDMRP promises. This is why a design of experiments was realised on a case study in order to assess MRP II, Kanban and DDMRP behaviours with different variability sources. The DDMRP buffer sizing is a major issue. It was dealt with an optimisation work on a case study. All the contributions were experimented with a DDMRP implementation on a real case. The research work enables several DDMRP advantages to be validated, such as the system adjustment to different variability sources, however this work also allows research perspectives to be underlined

Abstract:

This thesis examines the impact of company announcements on the daily stock returns of lowly capitalised companies. A total of 105 companies comprise the sample and 1464 events are examined over the period 21110/97 to 03/0412000. The methodology employed is primarily, empirical in nature. Event studies are conducted to gauge the impact of company announcements on stock returns using the single index market model (SIMM) as the chosen equilibrium market model for modelling abnormal returns. The study professes three mam contributions to knowledge. The empirical evidence suggests that financial announcement have a more timely impact on stock returns than non-financial announcements. Secondly, there appears to be significant over-reaction and mean-reversion exhibited by lowly capitalised firms. Thirdly, the speed of adjustment of stock prices to new information is increased in cases where shareholder concentration is high while over-reactions appear inversely proportionate to shareholder concentration. This may be a consequence of smaller firms experiencing leakage of boardroom level information prior to public announcement days.

Participaram no estudo 16 estudantes do 9ºano, do sexo masculino, identificados como tendo bom/mau comportamento. A recolha dos dados foi realizada através de questionário constituído por questões abertas. Os dados foram tratados qualitativa e quantitativamente. Os bons e maus comportamentos são conceptualizados por relação com atitudes individuais e relacionais. A perceção dos professores sobre o comportamento dos jovens é diferente da perceção que estes têm do seu próprio comportamento. Os alunos consideram maioritariamente não serem influenciados pelos pares, nem exercerem influência sobre eles. A promoção do relacionamento entre pares é vista como passando pela realização de atividades especificas. O grupo de alunos identificado com mau comportamento apresenta menor variedade conceptual; ABSTRACT: The behaviors and relationships in peers at school are important to the social and personal development of young people. The influence exerted by peers can be positive or negative. This research aims to analyses the perception that young people have about the appropriate/inappropriate behaviors and relationships among peers. Sixteen male students of the 9thyear made part of this study, indentified with bad/good behavior. The data collection was made through questionnaires consisted of open questions. The data was evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively. The good and bad behaviors are conceptualized by individual and relational attitudes. The teachers’ perception of the behavior is different from the perception that the young people has of themselves. The majority of the students do not consider themselves as an influence to the peers, and not even the peers as an influence to them. The promotion of peer relationship is seen as through the realization of specific activities. The student group which was identified with bad behavior presents a lower conceptual variety.

Abstract:

Notions of the benefits of self-disclosure - sincere revelations of ordinarily private information about oneself - pervade our cultural and religious histories. Recent empirical studies also provide evidence of physiological, psychological, and social benefits of selfdisclosure. In counselling, client self-disclosure has long been considered fundamental to both process and outcome. However, a considerable body of empirical literature has demonstrated that men tend to lesser degrees of self-disclosure than women do. Furthermore, as a primarily talk based activity involving the expression of feelings, counselling leans more toward a "feminine" than a "masculine" model. Counselling, then, can be a foreign experience for many men, which may further limit men's already fewer self-disclosures. Flanagan's (1954) Critical Incident Technique was used in this research to investigate the events in counselling that aided or impeded the self-disclosures of adult male clients. A total of 103 critical incidents was collected from the six adult male participants. The seventy-eight events (critical incidents) that aided the participants' self-disclosures were sorted by their similarities into seventeen categories. The twenty-five impeding events were classified into nine categories. Each of the derived categories was illustrated with prototypical incidents. The aiding categories with greater numbers of events and participation rates included (a) Accepting Client, (b) Focusing Interest on Client as a Valued Person, (c) Challenging Client, (d) Actively Engaging Client Non-Verbally, (e) Counsellor Probes, (f) Counsellor Self- Disclosures, (g) Assurance of Confidentiality, (h) Counsellor Perceived as Similar to Client in Important Ways, (i) Counsellor Providing Focus and Direction, (j) Counsellor Reliably Available, (k) Normalising/ Validating Client Experiences, and (1) Client Expectation to Self- Disclose. The impeding categories with greater frequencies of events and participation rates included (a) Counsellor Not Putting the Client at the Centre of the Relationship, (b) Perceived Threats to Confidentiality, and (c) Counsellor Perceived as Biased/Agent for Other(s). The reliability and validity of the categories that emerged in this study were supported in terms of descriptive validity, interpretive validity, inter-rater reliability, comprehensiveness, and participation rate. The results of this research provide an empirical basis for confirming or extending counselling theory and research and for informing counselling practice and training with respect to the events that aid or impede adult male clients' self-disclosures. Three major themes were apparent in the categories of events that affected the men's self-disclosures: (a) the quality of the therapeutic relationship, (b) counsellors challenging clients, and (c) counsellors providing focus and direction. Individual categories with greater numbers of events and participation rates are reviewed in terms of their implications for theory. A mapping of the aiding and impeding categories found in this research as they correspond to the stages in Omarzu's (2000) Disclosure Decision Model is also presented and discussed. As well, the implications for counselling research, practice, and training are discussed.

Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between hearing aids and the plasticity of P300 test in elderly people suffering from hearing loss. Methods: Sixty six subjects were participated in the study, and were allocated into four different groups: adults with normal hearing (N=18), elderly people with normal hearing (N=19), unaided elderly people with hearing loss (N=15) and aided elderly people with hearing loss (N=15). All subjects with deteriorated cognitive function were excluded base on the results of AD8 cognitive questionnaire. Otoscope examination, tympanometry , acoustic reflex, pure tone audiometry , auditory perception screening questionnaire and P300 test were used to evaluate all participants. The P300 test was recorded at 2000 Hz and 500 Hz tone bursts presented at 20 dB SL. In order to evaluate the benefits of using hearing aids, COSI questionnaire was administered for all participants in the group of aided elderly people with hearing loss. Resulsts: It was found that P300 latency and amplitude in the group of aided elderly people with hearing loss were shorter and greater than the one of unaided elderly people with hearing loss, respectively. However, the differences were not statistically significant for both comparisons. With advanced age, the P300 latency was prolonged and amplitude was decreased. The P300 latency of the group of adults with normal hearing was significantly shorter than those elderly people with normal hearing. However, no significant difference was found in P300 amplitude. No significant difference in P300 latency was found among the group of elderly people with normal hearing, unaided elderly people with hearing loss and aided elderly people with hearing loss. Significantly greater amplitude was observed in elderly people with normal hearing than unaided elderly people with hearing loss. However, there was no significant difference as compared with aided elderly people with hearing loss. Discussion: The benefit of hearing aid usage was observed in the present study. It is speculated that hearing aids may provide hearing-impaired individuals with ample auditory stimuli, which increase the release of neural transmitters and stimulates auditory nerve activities above the brainstem. Such mechanism may be associated with central plasticity.

Abstract:

The title of this diploma thesis is knowledge and preparedness of the population to provide first aid in case of an extraordinary events. It is divided into two main parts, that is the theoretical part and the empirical part of the thesis. The theoretical part of this diploma thesis is contained in one main chapter named Current status that contains several subheads. In the consecutive successive subheads we define the definition of first aid and its history. Moreover they contain characteris-tics and division of the Slovakian Integrated rescue system and the activity of the IRS coordination center. Within first aid and its procedure, this diploma thesis contains cha-racterizations of the first approach to the befallen, the characteristics of the rescue chain and the appointment and detailed description of life-saving activities. The next subhead contains selection of dangerous accidents with the tendency of direct threat to life and their treatment in the means of first aid. Further away we created an individual subhead about the procedure at the casualty site with a large number of the befallen persons. A very important element of first aid is the psychological effect on the befallen. This is described in the subhead Providing of psychological first aid at the casualty site. The next subhead describes the most common myths, miscues and mistakes in providing of amateur first aid. Many amateur rescuers stand by inactively in situations when help is needed, they feel that their knowledge of providing first aid is not sufficient and they are afraid. All of these negative factors cost the befallen valuable seconds that are nee-ded for saving a life and that is why it´s important to increase the public awareness abo-ut providing first aid. The individual subhead about extraordinary events contains basic characteristics of this problem and the description of chosen, most commonly occurring extraordinary events that endanger the residents of Slovakia. Seeing that the chosen method of this diploma thesis is a questionnaire and subsequently statistical evaluation of acquired data, it was necessary to include the statistical methods in the theoretical part of the thesis. The last part of the theoretical part of this diploma thesis is the des-cription of basic descriptive statistics methods and the description of the mathematical statistics methods, that are applied in the empirical part of the thesis. The empirical part of this diploma thesis begins with an assessment of aims and two hypothesis, that focus on ascertaining of the degree of theoretical knowledge of civilians about the providing of first aid in different kinds of extraordinary events. The methodical part of the thesis describes the way of collecting the data using a questionna-ire, it closely describes the characteristics of object file, inquiry progression and results processing. The results describe individual questions and their evaluation and subsequ-ently course of statistical inquiry and comparing its results using the methods of des-criptive and mathematical statistics. The last chapter of this diploma thesis is focused on the discussion about acquired results from the individual questions inquiries and subse-quently the description of the results of statistical inquiry. This part of the thesis further away contains practical recommendations that emerge from acquired results and their application.

Abstract:

This diploma thesis on social impacts of disasters and their solutions deals with disasters that have accompanied the mankind from the very beginning, their impacts and the effective solutions of such impacts. The theoretical section, in the first chapter, introduces the concept of disaster and it describes disasters that struck the Earth in the past and endangered substantially human lives. The second chapter is devoted to disasters of the 21st century and is divided into two parts. The first part of the second chapter deals with disasters of the 21st century in the world, including the current situation in Japan and the other part introduces major disasters of the 21st century in our country. The third chapter of the theoretical section focuses on the characteristics of basic disasters that may occur in the Czech Republic. The fourth chapter informs us about the impact and consequences of extraordinary events and crisis situations in the Czech Republic and about their solutions. This chapter introduces us to the way the Czech Republic addresses social impacts of disasters, which are an important factor in determining the seriousness of disasters. The concept of social impacts of disasters includes not only the loss of life or property, but also reduced ability of self-support of people affected by disasters caused by closing down businesses and their decreased work ability. The last chapter of the theoretical section, chapter five, deals with the role and responsibilities of state authorities and local governments during extraordinary events and crisis situations. This thesis aims at specifying social impacts of disasters and to propose some solutions. The results of quantitative research using questionnaire survey showed that we can confirm working hypothesis no. one, i.e. that one of the major impacts of disasters are social impacts. The thesis also includes research conducted using the method of guided interviews thanks to which we can confirm the second working hypothesis, i.e. that dealing with the impact takes place mostly in the reconstruction period after the crisis situation. Knowledge obtained while working on this thesis may serve as a comprehensive analysis of the current state of the Czech Republic in terms of dealing with social impacts of disasters.

Abstract:

Diplomová práce přináší příspěvek k problematice inspirace historické prózy devatenáctého století odbornou dějepisnou literaturou. Jejím úkolem je zhodnocení provázanosti Palackého husitské koncepce s vybranými dvěma povídkami Josefa Kajetána Tyla, jejichž děj je situován do první poloviny patnáctého století v Čechách. První část diplomové práce uvádí stručnou charakteristiku obou autorů a jejich tvorby s historickou tematikou. Následující teoretická kapitola je věnována pohledu na husitství v devatenáctém století. Druhá část práce je zaměřena prakticky, neboť vedle srovnání výkladu dějin oběma autory také obsahuje subjektivní interpretaci literárních kvalit postav a okolností, jež si Tyl domýšlí.

Abstract:

The theme of my diploma thesis is the engagement of the volunteers in the solution to the accidents in the South-Moravia region. In my diploma thesis I am involved in the issue of the engagement of the volunteers in the solution to the accidents in the South-Moravia region. I assume that the utilization of the potential of the volunteers is one of the possibilities of the acquisition of the forces, which could be used for the recovery of the consequences, post-traumatic care to struck persons and other activities within the solution to the accidents, all parallelly with the actions of the professional teams of the integrated rescue system bodies. The needs of the population in case of the accidents are rather differentiated, and the engagement of the volunteers completes the appointed forces and means of the integrated rescue system bodies. At present time, the adequate legal framework, modifying the engagement of the volunteers in the solution to the accidents, does not exist in the Czech Republic. Non-governmental non-profit organizations are united in the South-Moravia region into the Panel of the South-Moravia Region, which establishes the platform and enables the South-Moravia Region more effective engagement of the non-governmental non-profit organizations. The volunteers, organized in the Panel of the South-Moravia Region, are engaged in the solution to the accidents and the trainings organized in the level of the region, municipalities with widened competence and the integrated rescue system bodies.
