We propose an optimization model that seeks the best defensive investment for a weighted combination of deliberate and non-deliberate events. We formulate the general problem and conduct numerical analysis using a specific infrastructure system as a concrete example.

The aim of this thesis is to focus on the concept of flexicurity, accepted as the new labour market model balancing the needs of employers for greater flexibility in order to adapt to market forces, and the need of employees for security, which has recently been one of the most popular concepts of the debate on labour market reforms in the European Union. While doing so, this thesis discusses the position of key European institutions, especially of the Commission of the European Communities.

Self-injurious behaviours are associated with long-term negative consequences for social, emotional and physical wellbeing. As such, and in order to inform the development of both treatment plans and preventive approaches, it is necessary to develop a comprehensive understanding of the a etiological factors associated with self-injury. In the first instance, literature assessing the prevalence of self-injury in adolescents was systematically assessed in order to determine the presence of gender differences. This was in response to a lack of clarity within the self-injury field as to whether th

Abstract:
Deliberate self-harm is a pervasive issue that is the topic of worldwide clinical and research focus. Among the extensive research findings two salient issues emerge that provide the foundation for this study. The first is that a deliberate self-harm attempt is a significant risk factor for future attempts. The second is that a comprehensive assessment of a person presenting with an incident of deliberate self-harm can reduce further deliberate self-harming behaviour.
