Abstract:
In Britain a new generation of worker co-operatives have emerged that differ from earlier phases of co-operative development in that they have been formed primarily to create jobs in response to the high level of unemployment. All the major political parties favour co-operative development and co-operative support organisations of various kinds have been set up at local and national level. This paper argues that such ‘job creation’ co-operatives and the organisations that support them have come under great pressure to prioritise job creation as against the formulation of effective and secure co-operative structures. This pressure arises because the policies surrounding co-operative development have not taken account of the severe economic pressures the co-operatives face and the consequent effect upon their ability to sustain the co-operative principles of ownership and control of the business by the people who work in it. In the light of the specific needs and problems of the new generation of worker co-operatives the paper argues that the concepts of co-operative ownership and control need to be reassessed, in particular in relation to membership. The distinction between a co-operative and a collective is also re-evaluated together with the need for co-operative structures to be replicated in other aspects of the local community.

Abstract:
This paper presents the use of a co-operative co-evolutionary genetic algorithm (CCGA) for solving optimal control problems in a hysteresis system. The hysteresis system is a hybrid control system which can be described by a continuous multivalued state-space representation that can switch between two possible discrete modes. The problems investigated cover the optimal control of the hysteresis system with fixed and free final state/time requirements. With the use of the Pontryagin maximum principle, the optimal control problems can be formulated as optimisation problems. In this case, the decision variables consist of the value of control signal when a switch between discrete modes occurs while the objective value is calculated from an energy cost function. The simulation results indicate that the use of the CCGA is proven to be highly efficient in terms of the minimal energy cost obtained in comparison to the results given by the searches using a standard genetic algorithm and a dynamic programming technique. This helps to confirm that the CCGA can handle complex optimal control problems by exploiting a co-evolutionary effect in an efficient manner.

Abstract:
In this research work, a study has been carried out on the current development of teleoperation and the control strategies adopted to co-ordinate human operator input and computer autonomous control. Based on the findings, a human and computer cooperative control concept has been developed to overcome the shortcomings of the existing control strategies. It utilises the human and computer characteristic advantages to complement each other to improve task performance and increase task success rate. Some aspects of the tasks are shared between humans and computers while computer assistance is introduced into the human supervisory functions in this co-operative control. Traditional problems of teleoperation such as time delay and task dependence of high-level control have been addressed and overcome by utilising the distributed and parallel processing system architecture and an expandable knowledge base incorporated with generic and task specific modules. Guidelines and an ideal system model have been proposed to provide system developers with future design guidance. A telerobotic system has been built based on the developed human and computer cooperative control concept. It uses the client/server model to achieve distributed and parallel processing. Operators can perform tasks through direct manual control and computer assisted task-level control provided in the system. Multiple manual inputs have been introduced to suit different control conditions. They provide the operator with intuitive and hardware independent input methods to manipulate the remote robot. A computer vision system has been developed to provide not only the visual feedback of the remote environment but also assistance in object location and robot navigation. Task modules containing generic and specific task handling functions are used for achieving human and computer co-operation at both task planning and execution levels. The experiment results obtained from the system evaluation have shown that the task completion time in co-operative control mode is half the time required in human direct manual control. Task performance achieved in co-operative control mode is less sensitive to the difference between the operators' capability. In conclusion, the usability and effectiveness of the co-operative control, and the validity of the techniques of camera calibration and image processing has been proven through the demonstration task.

Abstract:
Master of Engineering (Research)
In many multi-objective missions there are situations when actions based on maximum information gain may not be the `best' given the overall mission objectives. In addition to properties such as entropy, information also has value, which is situationally dependent. This thesis examines the concept of information value in a multi-objective mission from an information theory perspective. A derivation of information value is presented that considers both the context of information, via a fused world belief state, and a system mission. The derived information value is used as part of the objective function for control of autonomous platforms within a framework developed for human robot cooperative control. A simulated security operation in a structured environment is implemented to test both the framework, and information value based control. The simulation involves a system of heterogeneous, sensor equipped Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs), tasked with gathering information regarding ground vehicles. The UAVs support an e ort to protect a number of important buildings in the area of operation. Thus, the purpose of the information is to aid the security operation by ensuring that security forces can deploy e ciently to counter any threat. A number of di erent local controllers using information based control are implemented and compared to a task based control scheme. The relative performance of each is examined with respect to a number of performance metrics with conclusions drawn regarding the performance and exibility of information value based control.

Abstract:
This thesis is concerned with the control system analysis of steel plate inspection robots and the design and development of co-operative mobile micro-robots and for the intelligent coordinated control over inspection tasks. This involves miniaturization of the existing steel plate inspection system and the introduction of intelligent control over a novel path-planning algorithm for single or several similar cooperative micro inspection robots to perform multitasking inspection. To automate steel plate inspection, the Centre for Automated & Robotic – NDT (CART) department of London South Bank University successfully developed a self navigating steel plate inspection robot [1]. However the resulting system has complex hardware arrangements for inspection. Therefore, this research is concerned with reducing the size as well the complexity of the inspection system and the reduction of the inspection time with larger area of coverage. Accordingly, cooperative micro-robots are realized for inspection. Part (1) of the thesis includes related and researched work for the control system analysis. The research findings lead to the identification of the directed parallel method (DPM) for the inspection robot using a derived cost equation. Consequently, research identified the work area sensory environment (SE) having a camera fixed permanently at a height above the work area. Research developed a DPM algorithm to find any coordinate location of the multitasking inspection robots on a (planar) rectangular inspection area. Research developed an efficient intelligent control to automate steel plate inspection which is required to enable reliable control operations over the micro-robots. Part (2) reports simulation of cooperative robots, the development of two micro-robot prototypes and their real time movements on the work area. The robot’s path and speed are complied with the inspection standards. With the two cooperative micro-robot prototypes, the results show that for a larger area of coverage the inspection time can be reduced to more than half compared to that of the CART’s previous single complex robot.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis considers the coordinated control of autonomous agents. The agents are modeled as double integrators, one for each Cartesian dimension. The goal is to force the agents to converge to a formation specified by their desired relative positions. To this end a pair of one-step-ahead optimization based control laws are developed. The control algorithms produce a communication topology that mirrors the geometric formation topology due to the careful choice of the minimized cost functions. Through this equivalence a natural understanding of the relationship between the geometric formation topology and the communication infrastructure is gained. It is shown that the control laws are stable and guarantee convergence for all viable formation topologies. Additionally, velocity constraints can be added to allow the formation to follow fixed or arbitrary time dependent velocities. Both control algorithms only require local information exchange. As additional agents attach to the formation, only those agents that share position constraints with the joining agents need to adjust their control laws. When redundancy is incorporated into the formation topology, it is possible for the system to survive loss of agents or communication channels. In the event that an agent drops out of the formation, only the agents with position interdependence on the lost agent need to adjust their control laws. Finally, if a communication channel is lost, only the agents that share that communication channel must adjust their control laws. The first control law falls into the category of distributed control, since it requires either the global information exchange to compute the formation size or an a priori knowledge of the largest possible formation. The algorithm uses the network size to penalize the control input for each formation. When using a priori knowledge, it is shown that additional redundancy not only adds robustness to loss of agents or communication channels, but it also decreases the settling times to the desired formation. Conversely, the overall control strategy suffers from sluggish response when the network is small with respect to the largest possible network. If global information exchange is used, scalability suffers. The second control law was developed to address the negative aspects of the first. It is a fully decentralized controller, as it does not require global information exchange or any a priori knowledge.

Full text
Abstract:
The purpose of this study is to design a co-operative maritime security structure for Northeast Asia through the application of naval arms control and disarmament measures (both structural and operational), maritime confidence-building measures (MCBMs) and maritime cooperation measures (MCMs). In order to construct an analytical framework for such an application it is necessary to introduce sub-objectives. The first is to explore the options for providing co-operative maritime security, such as naval arms control. MCBMs and MCMs, and to assess the value of their contribution to the general co-operative maritime security framework. The second is to examine the particular points of the major regional powers' maritime security policies with a view to considering their relevance to the construction of a system of co-operative maritime security in Northeast Asia. The third is to delineate the regional geo-strategic security environment conducive to Northeast Asian co-operative maritime security in the framework of the various types of measures. The final part examines the potential conditions for the application of co-operative maritime security measures and suggests a priority of application on the basis of the regional maritime security environment. In the last decade, the United States and Russia have been forced to change their defence policies, trim their budgets, curtail operations overseas, and re-evaluate their fundamental purposes. Nonetheless, the medium powers, such as China and Japan, continue to build and deploy naval weapons and vessels that others find threatening. Unless they reconsider their positions toward co-operative maritime security, they may miss a critical opportunity to bring stability to the high seas. In Northeast Asia, the main boundary and territorial disputes are maritime in nature, e.g. Russia-Japan (South Kuril IslandslNorthern Territories), Korea-Japan (the Tok Islandsffakeshima), China-Japan (the Senkaku Islandsffiaoyu Tao), as well as Taiwan and, in the South China Sea, the Paracel Islands/Xisha Qundao (Vietnam-China), and the Spratly IslandslNansha Qundao (China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan, Philippines and Brunei). Multilateral security activities cannot replace formal diplomatic/legal negotiations to settle maritime boundary and territorial disputes, but co-operative maritime security measures may be particularly valuable in minimising the risk of conflict in such circumstances. Among the MCBMs, the most promising areas involve modifying existing INCSEA agreements, and establishing or expanding measures of transparency, such as compliance with the UN or an eventual regional arms register and the regular issue of credible official Defence White Papers. In the current context of strategic uncertainty and maritime force development in Northeast Asia, information exchange measures and communication measures may be the most valuable MCBM, applicable region-wide. Co-operative maritime security measures can offer a number of benefits. The main goals of MCMs are cost reduction through shared efforts or by joint operations for humanitarian purposes, joint development of marine resources, the protection of SLOCs and prevention of sea pollution. MCMs can also be used as confidence-building measures in themselves to maintain communication when tensions heighten. MCMs indicate that neighbouring countries can work together to look after certain problems at the regional or subregional level. This can help not onJy to deter potential adversaries but also to assure extraregional countries that no direct threat would be posed to their sea-borne trade. With functional and operational approaches, MCMs cover marine pollution, search and rescue, illegal activities, including drug smuggling, piracy and fisheries infringement. The first area of naval arms control to be considered covers constraints on naval activities as operational naval arms control measures. General operational arms control measures could be used to cover other naval activities, or they could serve as a model for similar agreements in other areas. The provisions for notification of dangerous activities, for instance, could be broadened to include mandatory notification of all naval exercises. After the 1972 Incidents at Sea Agreement, the United States and Russia developed stabilising rules of behaviour as their navies came into contact with each other across the world's oceans. With the expansion of naval forces in Northeast Asia and the increased likelihood of accident and miscalculation, one could make a case for the negotiation of regional INCSEA agreements, particularly on a bilateral basis. Such agreements already exist in the North Pacific: Canada and Russia, the US and Russia, Russia-Japan and Russia-ROK. The United States and China have also signed a related agreement on maritime consultation. Operational measures at sea could be implemented by imposing restraints on naval activities and geographical limitations. Structural measures, as the second aspect of naval arms control, consist of quantitative and qualitative approaches. A quantitative approach based on ratios would inevitably affect the relative size of forces of different countries. Such agreements are difficult to achieve because of differences in geostrategic goals and asymmetries of naval forces in the region. This thesis argues that the development of co-operative maritime security measures to the point where they become a significant aspect of the regional maritime security framework in Northeast Asia will not be easy. It is a very diverse region, where there are quite different security perceptions and maritime territorial and legitimacy conflicts which require resolution. There is also little tradition of security co-operation, at least on a multilateral basis. The maritime issues themselves are generally complicated, and the practical and operational factors involved in the establishment of effective co-operative maritime security regimes are extremely demanding. Maritime confidence-building measures offer the greatest potentiaL as an initial step. As subsequent steps, maritime co-operation measures and naval arms control measures could be followed. The important question is whether or not the application of co-operative security models can be brought to the point where they can enable the effective management of the increasing complexities and uncertainties which characterise the emerging maritime environment in Northeast Asia. Current fiscal constraints might clearly provide an opportunity for Northeast Asian countries not only to consider more closely their threat perceptions but also to pursue regional co-operative maritime arrangements which rely more on mutual understanding and less on a naval arms build-up.

Abstract:
Bakgrund: Trots sin betydande närvaro i samhället saknar kooperativa företag än idag tydliga ramverk över hur deras organisationer ska styras. Det uppstår därmed utmaningar eftersom kooperativ, det vill säga medlemsägda organisationer, på ett flertal sätt särskiljer sig från andra företagsformer, men ändå tvingas rätta sig efter ramverk och teorier anpassade för andra slags verksamheter. Utmaningar kan uppstå då det visat sig att etablerade styrningsramverk i många fall är otillräckliga och svåra att justera för de mål som kooperativa verksamheter präglas av, vilket starkt argumenterar för behovet av ett kooperativt anpassat styrningsramverk. Sett till tidigare forskning saknas det studier som förklarar hur agentproblematik utspelar sig och hanteras i en kooperativ kontext. I och med den ovan nämnda avsaknaden av styrningsramverk blir det likväl en utmaning för kooperativ att uppnå målkongruens mellan organisationens olika parter, där även organisationens storlek samt struktur spelar en avgörande roll. Syfte: Det huvudsakliga syftet med den här uppsatsen är att tillföra såväl ett empiriskt som teoretiskt bidrag för att öka kunskapen kring den agentproblematik som kan uppstå inom konsumentkooperativ, och ta reda på hur hög målkongruens kan uppnås inom medlemsägda företag utan att förbise medlemmarnas intressen. Genomförande: Studien är en kvalitativ fallstudie på organisationen Kooperativa Förbundet, med en iterativ ansats. Datainsamlingen har skett genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer, där intervjuguiden har utformats efter den teoretiska referensramen. Slutsatser: Den agentproblematik som utspelar sig inom kooperativ verksamhet är främst av förvaltarteoretisk karaktär. Det empiriska bidraget har dock belyst problematik som förvaltarteorin tidigare inte uppmärksammat, som uppstår när hög tillit förringar behovet av uppföljning och utvärdering. Problematiken har resulterat i en implementering av styrsystem, som vanligen förknippas med den kontrasterande agentteorin. Införandet av styrsystem måste dock, enligt förvaltarteorin, göras vaksamt vad gäller de konsekvenser som kan uppstå, vilket negativt kan påverka det för organisationen gynnsamma förvaltarbeteendet. Resultatet av vår analys visar att det råder hög målkongruens inom kooperationen till följd av ett ömsesidigt förvaltarperspektiv mellan styrelse och företagsledning. Det empiriska bidraget åskådliggjorde en samsyn respondenterna emellan vad gäller värdegrund, och en kollektiv vilja att efterleva de kooperativa värderingarna. Vidare uppnås målkongruens genom öppenhet, transparens, väl genomförda förankringsprocesser samt en kontinuerlig dialog mellan organisationens samtliga parter. Därutöver framgick det att hög målkongruens i sig inte leder till en framgångsrik verksamhet, utan det krävs även en stark genomförandekraft för att uppnå de gemensamma målen. Fallstudien har visat på en bristande genomförandekraft, vilket bland annat påverkas av kooperativets storlek, något som utgör en försvårande effekt på verksamheten. Vidare har det framgått att kooperativ enklare skulle kunna dra nytta av den höga målkongruensen om det hade förekommit en större homogenitet medlemsföreningarna emellan, både vad gäller storlek och verksamhet. Kunskapsbidrag: Studien har bidragit med en ökad förståelse kring den agentproblematik som kan utspela sig inom kooperativa organisationer, samt hur målkongruens kan uppnås inom medlemsägda företag. Därutöver avlägger studien två teoretiska bidrag. Det första bidraget är kopplat till förvaltarteorin, och identifierar svagheter inom teorin som tidigare inte belysts samt att dessa bekämpas med åtgärder som vanligen förekommer inom agentteorin. Det andra teoretiska bidraget bestrider den tidigare kooperativa forskningen då vi anser att internt anskaffad expertis ska vara ett alternativ till den externt rekryterade expertisen.
Background: Despite its significant presence in today’s society, co-operative businesses still lack well-defined guidelines on how to manage their organizations. Challenges arise because co-operatives, i.e. member-owned organizations, differ in a number of ways compared to other forms of businesses. Still, however, they have to rely on frameworks and theories adapted to other types of organizations. Challenges may develop since it appears as though established management frameworks in many cases are insufficient and difficult to adjust to the objectives that characterize co-operative businesses, which argues for the need of a co-operatively adapted governance framework. There has been an absence of studies in previous research explaining how agency issues arise, and how the entailing challenges are managed in a co-operative context. At the same time, with the aforementioned lack of governance frameworks, it is nevertheless a challenge for co-operatives to achieve goal congruence between the organization’s various parties, where the size and structure of the organization also play decisive roles. Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to provide an empirical, as well as a theoretical, contribution to raise the awareness in regards to the Principal-agent problem and its entailing challenges in the context of consumer co-operatives. Furthermore, the purpose is also to investigate how high goal congruence can be achieved in member-owned businesses, without overlooking the interests of the members. Method: The study was carried out as a qualitative case study of the organization Kooperativa Förbundet, using an iterative approach. The collection of data has been attained through semi-structured interviews, in which the interviews were designed in accordance with the theoretical reference framework. Conclusions: The Principal-agent problems that arise within co-operatives are primarily of a Stewardship nature. However, our empirical research has highlighted challenges that Stewardship theory previously has not paid any attention to, including those that arise whenhigh levels of trust between the Board of Directors and the Management team lessens the need for follow-ups and evaluations. These challenging issues have resulted in an implementation of control systems, which usually are associated with the contrasting Agency theory, rather than with Stewardship theory. Nevertheless, the introduction of control systems must be done vigilantly, according to Stewardship theory, considering the consequences that may develop, which harmfully may affect the favorable stewardship behavior. The results from our analysis reveal a high level of goal congruence within the co-operation, owing to a mutual stewardship perspective between the Board of Directors and the Management team. Our research identified a consensus among the respondents in terms of values, and a collective willingness to comply with the co-operative principles. Furthermore, goal congruence is achieved through openness, transparency, justifiable decision-making processes, as well as a continuous dialogue between all parties within the organization. In addition, it was made clear that a high level of goal congruence, other things being equal, does not lead to a successful business. A strong implementing power is also required in order to reach the common goals. The case study conducted demonstrated an insufficient implementation power which is influenced, amongst other things, by the size of the co-operative which represents an aggravating effect on the business as a whole. Additionally, the co-operative would more easily benefit from its high levels of goal congruence if there had been a greater homogeneity between the member associations, both in terms of size and business activity. Research contribution: The study has contributed to an increased understanding of the Principal-agent issues that unfold in co-operative organizations, and how goal congruence is achieved in member-owned businesses. In addition, the study presents two theoretical contributions. The first one is linked to Stewardship theory, and identifies weaknesses that the theory has not been able to explain, and that these weaknesses are combated with measures more commonly found within Agency theory. The second theoretical contribution disputes previous research made on co-operatives, since we consider that internally acquired expertise should be an alternative to the externally recruited expertise.

Abstract:
The diploma thesis is focused on the problems in the sector of rental and co-operative housing since the nineties of the twentieth century in the Czech Republic. Firstly the thesis deals with the description of the basic concepts such as housing, supply and demand for housing, housing policy and instruments through which it achievs its goals. Further the thesis analyzes the current situation in the housing stock and its allocation to individual sectors. The third chapter concentrates on the issue of rental and co-operative housing. This chapter provides ample space for development of regulation as well as deregulation of rents. The end of the chapter foccuses the attention on the issue of social housing not only in the Czech Republic but also in selected countries of the European Union. The last two chapters deal with state housing support, where in addition to promoting the supply side mentioned is also housing benefit and satisfaction with living in the Czech Republic.

Abstract:
The increasing number of recent fraud cases involving the board of directors and top management in cooperative societies has raised concerns about the effectiveness of internal control systems (ICS) in these organizations. This chapter aims to examine the relationship between the effectiveness of the ICS and the likelihood of fraud occurrence by focusing on the control environment, risk assessment, and monitoring activities of cooperative societies in Malaysia. The results showed that the effectiveness of the control environment, risk assessment, and monitoring had no significant relationship with the likelihood of fraud occurrence in these organizations. However, this does not necessarily mean that the fraud risk is not an emerging issue. The study proposes that the internal auditors and audit committee oversee a pro-active fraud prevention check-up, as suggested by the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE), which is to be implemented in co-operative societies to assess how vulnerable the organizations are to fraud.

Abstract:
Many people think a well-functioning classroom needs a teacher to be in control. In the OC, the structure of the classroom is not based on a teacher or other adult controlling the children. A key aim of the OC is for children and adults to collaborate, with responsibility to the group, so that the classroom community is in control, not the teacher. If adults controlled the children, it would impede the children’s opportunities to learn how to become responsible for their own learning and their collaboration with the group. Building the skills and expectations for responsible participation in a group is an important part of the curriculum from kindergarten through sixth grade. On a daily basis in Leslee’s kindergarten classroom, time is spent helping children take responsibility for their own behavior. Five- and six-year-olds are capable of discussing, following, and reflecting on classroom guidelines that allow productive and co-operative learning to occur. The guidelines come from the class constitution that children help develop at the beginning of the year, which sets up expectations for behavior. A daily opportunity for the kindergarten classroom to learn to manage itself occurs during a challenging transition time between snack and story circle. Although this transition may last for only five minutes, it is easy for these young children to forget appropriate behavior—when children finish their snack, they can either choose a book to read or visit quietly in circle while waiting for the rest of the class to join them. The challenge of this transition often provides a learning experience through a conversation that takes place once the whole group is assembled in circle. With guidance from Leslee, the children evaluate their own behavior and that of the classroom as a whole. The goal is a classroom in control, not a teacher in control. To evaluate how the group is progressing in learning to manage the classroom structure, Leslee purposely leaves the classroom at times and asks a co-oper to keep an eye on things in case there are any issues.

Abstract:
Background/Purpose: Post-operative delirium leads to significant morbidity in elderly patients, yet there is no regimen to prevent POD. Opioid use in the elderly surgical population is of the most significant risk factors for developing POD. The purpose of this scoping review is to recognize that Dexmedetomidine mitigates cognitive dysfunction secondary to acute pain and the use of narcotic analgesia by decreasing the amount of norepinephrine (an excitatory neurotransmitter) released during times of stress. This mechanism of action also provides analgesia through decreased perception and modulation of pain. Methods: The authors developed eligibility criteria for inclusion of articles and performed a systematic search of several databases. Each of the authors initially selected five articles for inclusion in the scoping review. We created annotated literature tables for easy screening by co-authors. After reviewing the annotated literature table four articles were excluded, leaving 11 articles for inclusion in the scoping review. There were six level I meta-analysis/systematic reviews, four level II randomized clinical trials, and one level IV qualitative research article. Next, we created a data-charting form on Microsoft Word for extraction of data items and synthesis of results. Results: Two of the studies found no significant difference in POD between dexmedetomidine groups and control groups. The nine remaining studies noted decreases in the rate, duration, and risk of POD in the groups receiving dexmedetomidine either intraoperatively or postoperatively. Multiple studies found secondary benefits in addition to decreased POD, such as a reduction of tachycardia, hypertension, stroke, hypoxemia, and narcotic use. One study, however, found that the incidence of hypotension and bradycardia were increased among the elderly population. Implications for Nursing Practice: Surgery is a tremendous stressor in any age group, but especially the elderly population. It has been shown postoperative delirium occurs in 17-61% of major surgery procedures with 30-40% of the cases assumed to be preventable. Opioid administration in the elderly surgical population is one of the most significant risk factors for developing POD. With anesthesia practice already leaning towards opioid-free and opioid-limited anesthetic, the incorporation of dexmedetomidine could prove to be a valuable resource in both reducing opioid use and POD in the elderly surgical population. Although more research is needed, the current evidence is promising.
