Full textThe purpose of this study was to understand and perceive how student leaders, and specifically student body presidents, navigated social power and used influence with institutional leaders in the higher education decision-making environment to achieve the goals and objectives of their presidencies. The foundational texts of higher education governance and the literature on decision-making are unclear about or do not acknowledge the role of students as leaders. Meanwhile, the popular press makes it clear students are playing a role in decision-making, and there is growing student consumerism and activism within institutions. The contrast between the foundational texts and the literature on decision-making versus what is occurring with respect to student leader involvement describes the problems of practice and research this study addressed.
This study applied French and Raven's (1959) bases of social power to the experiences of student leaders, and specifically student body presidents, and situated these experiences in the higher education decision-making environment. The primary research question for this study was: How do former student body presidents at colleges and universities perceive navigating social power and using influence with institutional leaders to achieve the stated goals and objectives of their presidencies? There were two secondary research questions: 1) What do former student body presidents perceive to be the principal sources of support in achieving their stated goals and objectives? 2) What do former student body presidents perceive to be the principal sources of challenge to achieving their stated goals and objectives?
The conclusions of this study related to: (a) the utility and accessibility of, and relationship between, the various bases of power with respect to the ability of the former student body presidents to navigate power and use influence to achieve their goals and objectives; (b) the availability and impact of support on the ability of the student body presidents to achieve their goals and objectives; (c) the impact of challenges on the ability of the student body presidents to achieve their goals and objectives. Along with these conclusions, the study provided recommendations related to theory, practice for both institutional leaders and student leaders, and future research.

Full textA aplicação CapView utiliza um algoritmo de classificação baseado em SVM (Support Vector Machines) para automatizar a segmentação topográfica de vídeos do trato intestinal obtidos por cápsula endoscópica. Este trabalho explora a aplicação de processadores gráficos (GPU) para execução paralela desse algoritmo. Após uma etapa de otimização da versão sequencial, comparou-se o desempenho obtido por duas abordagens: (1) desenvolvimento apenas do código do lado do host, com suporte em bibliotecas especializadas para a GPU, e (2) desenvolvimento de todo o código, incluindo o que é executado no GPU. Ambas permitiram ganhos (speedups) significativos, entre 1,4 e 7 em testes efetuados com GPUs individuais de vários modelos. Usando um cluster de 4 GPU do modelo de maior capacidade, conseguiu-se, em todos os casos testados, ganhos entre 26,2 e 27,2 em relação à versão sequencial otimizada. Os métodos desenvolvidos foram integrados na aplicação CapView, utilizada em rotina em ambientes hospitalares.
The CapView application uses a classification algorithm based on SVMs (Support Vector Machines) for automatic topographic segmentation of gastrointestinal tract videos obtained through capsule endoscopy. This work explores the use graphic processors (GPUs) to parallelize the segmentation algorithm. After an optimization phase of the sequential version, two new approaches were analyzed: (1) development of the host code only, with support of specialized libraries for the GPU, and (2) development of the host and the device’s code. The two approaches caused substantial gains, with speedups between 1.4 and 7 times in tests made with several different individual GPUs. In a cluster of 4 GPUs of the most capable model, speedups between 26.2 and 27.2 times were achieved, compared to the optimized sequential version. The methods developed were integrated in the CapView application, used in routine in medical environments.

Full textElektronisk identifiering (eID) är en digital representation av vår analoga identitet som används för autentisering i syfte att få tillgång till skyddat innehåll på nätet. Trots ett begränsat syfte, har eID en unik roll i informationssamhället som möjliggörare av offentliga digitala tjänster för medborgare och företag och en förutsättning för utveckling av elektronisk förvaltning (eförvaltning). Denna studie visar att eID i offentlig sektor ofta hanteras som informations- och kommunikationsteknik (IKT) generellt. Därför tillämpas ofta ett tekniskt perspektiv vilket medför att icke-tekniska aspekter placeras i bakgrunden vilket blir problematiskt i fallet med eID i offentlig sektor. Sociala och organisatoriska konsekvenser förblir därmed ofta otillräckligt problematiserade vilket blir problematiskt vid introduktioner av eID i offentlig sektor. Följaktligen för denna studie fram ett behov av bredare fokus inom detta område och bidrar genom att fokusera på utmaningar som rör motståndet mot introduktioner av eID bland berörda aktörer inom offentlig sektor. Denna studie förutsätter att berörda aktörers uppfattningar (översättningar) av eID har en potentiell inverkan på dess introduktion på organisatorisk och operativ nivå. Forskningsfrågorna behandlar hur motståndet påverkar införandet och förhållandet mellan motstånd och aktörernas översättningar av eID. Målet är att vidareutveckla befintliga begrepp och att bidra med nya insikter till forskning samt praktik. De analytiska perspektiven inom sociologi och institutionalism syftar till att utveckla ett tentativt analytiskt ramverk för att undersöka denna relation och med detta se introduktioner som institutionella tryck som möter motstånd kopplat till berörda aktörers översättningar. Den empiriska grunden består av två tolkande fallstudier - ett nationellt eID införande och ett införande av eID för tjänstebruk inom vården. Resultatet visar att motståndet i form av institutionella hinder utvecklas från aktörers negativa översättningar av eID och samordnande försök att hantera dessa hinder misslyckas ofta. Detta bekräftar också en tydlig relation mellan institutionella tryck, hinder och eID som översatta institutioner vilka överförs mellan olika organisatoriska sammanhang. För att underlätta framtida eID-införanden och för nya insikter till forskning, förs följande tre påståenden fram: (1) Vikten av att erkänna institutionella tryck som närbesläktade med hinder vid införande av eID. (2) De institutioner som deltar (tryck, hinder och eID) är alla översatta av förvaltning, samordnande och berörda aktörer. (3) Vikten av en utvecklad förståelse av dessa institutioner, översättningar och relationer för att underlätta samverkan kring framtidens eID inom offentlig sektor.

Full textThis dissertation is based on three separate but interconnected essays which underscore the important roles of discourse, legitimacy and power in fueling or hindering institutional change towards sustainability. In two chapters of my thesis I explore the discursive legitimation dynamics in the contested issue field around shale gas, in France and Germany. The exploitation of shale gas via the hydraulic fracturing (or fracking) technique triggered strong contestation in these countries due to its socio-economic, environmental, and political implications which challenge the energy sector on a global scale. The first essay is a comparative case study of the public shale gas debates which surfaces the important role of institutions in influencing the success of certain arguments over others. The second essay is a single case study focusing on the (de)legitimation of the actors involved in the French shale gas debate which proposes that there is a fundamental difference in legitimating an issue and legitimating an actor. The third theoretical essay introduces the concept of parentalism in order to highlight how actors control who may participate in discursive struggles. On a whole this thesis surfaces how ongoing struggles in contested environmental and social issue fields are shaped by the fit of discursive strategies with the institutional context and contestants’ legitimate identities as well as by actors’ discursive and non-discursive controlling strategies of who participates and how in deliberation

Full textState-of-the-arts design, implementation, and optimization of Ultra-Low Power Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (ULP RFIC) for medical, space, and mobile applications have been proposed. New approximated formulas in modeling of the circuits and systems for CAD development have been suggested which make the computer simulations more accurate. Algorithm optimizations for faster design time and possible automations compared to traditional and manual implementations are also offered that reduce the final release time of the products in a more systematic way. These design methodologies are based on advancements of IC fabrication in scaling to Nano-meter regimes, improvement of powerful software simulation tools especially at high frequencies, and manipulating novel ideas in development phases. Note that these design proposals are not only limited to space, biomedical, and mobile application; as a matter of fact, they can be used in any chip design and development ranging from smart watch to glasses and etc.
To have a comprehensive understanding of wireless system design and circuit implementation requires years of experiences and research on multi-disciplinary areas ranging from semiconductor at physic level, circuit analysis, software programming for simulation, test and automation purposes, architecture level, high frequency and RF behavior of components and many more. That is why it has been said the RF design is challenging and takes more years to become an expert on these areas. There are still huge shortages for RF and Analog engineers due to the challenges throughout the world both in industry and academia.
For the circuits presented in this dissertation, frequencies range from ISM band 2.4GHz for mobile application to 10GHz and 24 GHz in microwave applications. The detail analyses for implementations and simulations have been shown to verify the implementations. Optimizations are presented by extensive analysis and iterative simulations. Solutions and tips to simplify design flows are mentioned throughout the dissertation.
Chapters begin with introductions and motivations; next, detail discussion and investigation are presented in subsequent sections; finally summaries giving at the end of each chapter. At the end of dissertation, the possible future works and research orientation have been proposed.

Full textThis qualitative study examined the interaction of families and school in a local community. Data were gathered through document analysis; semi-structured interviews with family members, community members, and school professionals; group interviews; street interviews; and observer field notes. A conceptual framework consisting of postcolonial theory, critical social theory, and thirdspace theory guided data analysis. This study documented the deep and pervasive nature of school's institutional power, and severely limited opportunities available to family members to shift the power balance in their favor. The relations of power were evident in the enactment of parent involvement policy and practices that constrained family members' school involvement, the contradiction between school's purpose as stated and enacted, families' restricted access to school information and space, and the construction of family member roles through encounters with school. This study also revealed the potential of organizing to shift the balance of power in favor of families and the local community.
