Ebeling, Johan. "Underrättelser för sjöstriden : IPB-metoden och den maritima arenan." Thesis, Swedish National Defence College, Swedish National Defence College, 2009. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:fhs:diva-23.
Full textAbstract:
Högkvarteret beslutade 2004 att interoperabilitet med Natos metoder har högsta prioritet i Försvarsmakten. Därför är underrättelsemetoden Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace (IPB) vägledande för svensk underrättelsetjänsts framtagande av beslutsunderlag. Försvarsmaktens underrättelsehandbok betraktar dock IPB som en inte ”i alla avseenden tydlig” metod. Eftersom krigföring inom mark-, luft- och den maritima arenan karaktäriseras av olika faktorer, vilka ej framgår i IPB, existerar här ett problemområde. Uppsatsen behandlar problemområdet inom den maritima arenan på taktisk nivå. Syftet är att undersöka IPB-metodens genomförande och innehåll då den genomförs för att tillgodose ett ytstridsförbands taktiska underrättelsebehov. Uppsatsens frågeställningar söker svar på hur den maritima arenan respektive sjökrigföring generellt påverkar innehållet i, samt genomförandet av, IPB-metoden.
Studiens teoretiska grund utgörs av IPB-metoden, vilken främst används till att strukturera undersökningen. Uppsatsen genomförs med kvalitativ innehållsanalys av svensk marin doktrin, reglementen, handböcker samt modern litteratur om sjökrigföring på taktisk nivå. Dessa källor skall ge perspektiv på IPB-metoden och dess respektive steg.
En allmängiltig grundsats gällande sjökrigföring är att den som anfaller effektivt först vinner striden. Uppsatsen har funnit att IPB-metoden, vilken syftar till bedömning av motståndarens farligaste respektive troligaste handlingsvägar, speglar detta axiom bristfälligt. Om IPB, då den genomförs i en marin kontext, istället koncentreras mot den duellsituation som är karaktäristisk för sjökrigföring, skapas ett beslutsunderlag som bättre överensstämmer med vad litteraturen förordar. En sådan förändring i fokus för IPB förändrar hela metoden i grunden.
The purpose of the study is to examine the use of the NATO method known as Intelligence Preparation of the Battlespace (IPB), since the Swedish Armed Forces Headquarters in 2004 decided that interoperability with NATO methods is of high priority.
Combat on the ground, in the air and at sea is characterized by different factors. This circumstance is however not very clear in the Swedish interpretation of IPB. This shortcoming constitutes the problem that this study has looked into. IPB will be examined from a naval point of view at a tactical level. The question that has been asked is how naval tactical combat and the maritime environment influence the use of IPB.
The study uses the IPB-method itself as theoretical framework. Swedish doctrine, naval regulations and handbooks as well as modern literature on naval combat have been analysed in order to give perspectives on IPB.
It is common knowledge today that the essence of success in naval combat at a tactical level is to attack effectively first. The main conclusion is, however, that IPB, which focuses on estimates of the adversary’s courses of action, reflects this maxim poorly. The results of the study show that the intelligence output would be more adequate if IPB, when used in a naval tactical context, was concentrated on an analysis of the duel between ships.

Effective wastewater treatment is needed to reduce the water pollution problem. However, massive energy is consumed in wastewater treatment, required to design an innovative system to reduce the energy consumption to solve the energy crisis. Integrated photobioelectrochemical system (IPB) is a powerful system to combine microbial fuel cells (MFCs) and algal bioreactor together. This system has good performance on the organic degradation, removal of nitrogen and phosphorus, and recover the bioenergy via electricity generation and algal harvesting. This dissertation is divided to twelve chapters, about various aspects of the working mechanisms and actual application of IPB. Chapter 1 generally introduces the working mechanisms of MFCs, algal bioreactor, and modeling. Chapter 2 demonstrates the improvement of cathode material to improve the structure and catalytic performance to improve the MFC performance. Chapter 3 describes the process to use microbial electrolysis cell (MEC) to generate biohythane for the energy recovery. Chapters 4 and 5 demonstrate the application of stable isotope probing to study Shewanella oneidensis MR-1 in the MFCs. Chapters 6 to 8 describe the application of models to optimize MFC and IPB system performance. Chapter 9 describes the strategy improvement for the algal harvesting in IPB. Chapter 10 describes the application of scale-up bioelectrochemical systems on the long-term wastewater treatment. Chapter 11 finally concludes the perspectives of IPBs in the wastewater treatment and energy recovery. This dissertation comprehensively introduces IPB systems in the energy recovery and sustainable wastewater treatment in the future.Ph. D.

Com o Golpe de 1964 no Brasil, foi instituído o regime militar que pôs fim ao governo civil de João Goulart. A Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil (IPB) buscou se relacionar politicamente com o Estado, permitindo divergências eclesiásticas no seu posicionamento frente às questões éticas, sociais, políticas e econômicas colocadas no contexto do regime militar e da Guerra Fria.

Full textAbstract:
The never ending argument among linguists and teachers
about whether reading difficulties of the non native speakers of
English are a reading problem or a language problem is an
interesting study to start with. This was one of the questions
examined in the study leading to the development of an ESP
syllabus for undergraduate students at Bogor Agricultural University
(IPB).
Chapter One outlines the current English course at IPB
where the focus of language teaching is on teaching grammar and
reading.
Chapter Two looks at the theoretical background and the
development of ESP as well as the role of the ESP teachers which
is different from the role of General English teachers.
Since reading is the only target skill students need to
acquire, Chapter Three looks at the theory of reading, outlines
necessary reading skills and examines a 'good1 reading teacher.
Chapter Four consists of a study and its analysis into
whether difficulties in reading is a reading problem or a language
problem. These findings are expected to give a clearer idea to the
teachers of reading about the problems encountered by the
students in reading English texts so they can decide whether the
focus of the course should be on grammar development or reading
development.
Chapter Five discusses several types of syllabus as well as
relating to the importance of needs analysis in designing a course,
and suggests an outline syllabus for the IPB students i.e. the
proportional syllabus including the profile of communication needs,
aims and objectives of the course, language content, and the
syllabus content.

Este estudo avaliou a qualidade dos preparos de boca para confecção de próteses parciais removíveis (PPRs), comparando os preparos realizados na graduação da Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo (FOUSP), sob supervisão de Docentes, com os preparos realizados por cirurgiões dentistas que solicitaram a confecção dessas próteses a dois laboratórios de Prótese Dentária de São Paulo. As análises foram realizadas em 92 modelos de trabalho, divididos em dois grupos: grupo I, modelos obtidos de pacientes que foram reabilitados na Disciplina de Prótese Removível da FOUSP, por alunos de graduação, e grupo II, modelos obtidos de pacientes que foram reabilitados por vários profissionais, e que foram recolhidos dos referidos laboratórios. Foi utilizado como instrumento de avaliação, o Índice de Preparo de Boca modificado (IPB), com o objetivo de avaliar comparativamente, os dois grupos, quanto a Distribuição, Localização e Forma dos descansos oclusais e de cíngulo; Presença, Distribuição e Paralelismo dos planos-guia; Características dos pontos de calibragem; e a diferença estatística dos valores do IPB, entre os grupos. Ainda foi investigada a prevalência da classificação de Kennedy (para pacientes desdentados parciais), nos dois grupos de modelos. O método estatístico utilizado foi o teste não paramétrico de Mann-Whitney. Baseado nos resultados encontrados, concluiu-se que os preparos de boca dos trabalhos realizados na Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo (grupo I, modelos-USP) foram significativamente melhores do que aqueles elaborados por profissionais, cirurgiões dentistas que enviaram os modelos de seus pacientes aos laboratórios, para confecção de PPRs (grupo II, modelos-Laboratórios). Não houve associação estatisticamente significante entre os grupos de modelos no que se refere à classificação de Kennedy.This study analysed the quality of mouth preparations for manufacturing removable parcial dentures (RPDs) by comparing preparations made by undergraduates at Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade de São Paulo (FOUSP) working under the supervision of staff teachers with preparations made by dentist surgeons who had sent prostheses to two dental prosthesis laboratories in São Paulo for manufacturing. Analyses were carried out in 92 models divided in two groups: group I, models obtained from patients rehabilitated by undergraduates in the subject Removable Prosthesis at FOUSP and group II, models obtained from patients rehabilitated by several professional dentist surgeons and collected at the two laboratories mentioned above. The instrument of assessment used was the modified Mouth Preparation Ratio (IPB), aiming at assessing the two groups comparatively concerning the Distribution, Location and shape of rest bite and cingulum occlusion, Presence, Distribution and Paralelism of guide planes; Characteristics of the calibration points; and the statistical difference in IPB values between the two model groups. The prevalence of the Kennedy classification (for parcially toothless patients) was also investigated in both model groups. The statitical method used in both groups was the Mann-Whitney non-parametric test. Based on the results achieved, it was concluded that mouth preparations made at Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidede de São Paulo (group I, USP models) were significantly better than those made by professional dentist surgeons who had sent their patients models to the dental laboratories for manufacturing RPDs (group II, lab models). There was no statistically significant association between both groups concerning the Kennedy classification.

Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorEsta dissertação busca investigar a existência de uma Teologia Reformada brasileira no âmbito da eclesiologia e da relação com a cultura, trabalhando com a Igreja Presbiteriana do Brasil como base de dados para tal investigação. Na primeira parte, pesquisa-se como se formou o reformador João Calvino e que relação a sua formação humanista teve com os ensinos que desenvolveu, bem como tais ensinos poderiam ser aplicados à Teologia Reformada brasileira, escolhendo-se a graça comum para entender a relação com a cultura e buscando-se compreender a abrangência de sua eclesiologia. Na segunda parte, calvinismo, puritanismo e neopuritanismo são analisados sob a perspectiva de compreenderem-se possíveis rupturas ou continuidades. Tais situações serão verificadas na influência cultural do silogismo prático dos calvinistas e da relação de Calvino e dos puritanos com a ciência. A terceira parte apresenta Richard Shaull como contraponto ao modo de ser reformado designado como neopuritano, aplicado à boa parte dos reformados brasileiros da IPB, na medida em que tenta construir uma Teologia Reformada da revolução, que seus seguidores, possivelmente seu maior legado, transformariam em Teologia da Libertação. Ele será comparado em sua visão eclesiológica com Ashbel Green Simonton, pioneiro da IPB no Brasil. Por fim, à guisa de conclusão, a quarta e última parte estudará a construção da atual Teologia Reformada da IPB, sua possível relação com o fundamentalismo, a partir dos puritanos ou não, e acima de tudo o grande receio quanto a sua brasilidade, buscando pistas para responder que tipo de eclesiologia afinal tem produzido a Teologia Reformada da IPB.
This dissertation seeks to investigate the existence of a Brazilian Reformed Theology in the area of ecclesiology and its relation to culture by using the Presbyterian Church of Brazil as the object of investigation. The first part investigates how the reformer John Calvin was educated and how his humanism related to the teaching he developed, as also its possible application to Brazilian Reformed Theology, choosing common Grace to understand this relation to culture in seeking to understand how wide was its influence in his ecclesiology. In the second part, Calvinism, Puritanism and Neopuritanism are analyzed toward possible divisions or continuity. Such situations will be studied as a possible cultural influence of the practical rationalization of the Calvinists and of the relation of Calvin and the puritans with science. The third part presents Richard Shaull as a contradiction to the style of being reformed neopuritans, applical to a good part of the Brazilian reformed of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil, to the extent that he attempted to construct a Reformed Theology of Revolution that his followers, perhaps his major contribution, could transform into a Theology of Liberation. His ecclesiastical vision will be compared to that of Ashbel Green Simonton, pioneer of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil. The fourth and final part will study the construction of Reformed Theology in the Presbyterian Church of Brazil today, its possible relation to fundamentalism, beginning or not with the puritans, above all a real fear as to its Brazilianity, seeking ways to respond to the kind of ecclesiology the Reformed Theology of the Presbyterian Church of Brazil has produced.

Full textAbstract:
Understanding of business processes is becoming an important key factor for successful businesses and today many organizations are facing the lack of knowledge about the business processes that they are working on. Since the interaction between different business processes and different actors are becoming more common it is not only enough for employees to have knowledge about the business processes that they involve directly, but also they need to know about the other business processes in the organization. Unfortunately there is not enough research on this topic in the literature and the goal of this thesis is to propose a method for solving the indicated problem by increasing the understanding of business processes by the employees in an organization. The proposed method basically contains the design and execution of process models based on a real scenario. A case study has been conducted at an IT company where the employees have no or limited knowledge about the business processes that their organization works on. Even though the method has been only tested in one organization it is generic and can be applied to any other similar organization. The design science approach is used to develop the method and build the process models as artifacts. The process models have been verified by using an executable business modeling tool, iPB, and presented to the employees in a seminar in order to make them to understand the business processes better. The knowledge of the employees about the business processes has been analyzed before and after the presentation, thus we could compare the results and find out how much their knowledge has increased after the presentation. The results have shown that the knowledge of the employees has increased significantly. In conclusion, the method of design and presentation of executable business process models has been proved to be a solution to the problem of not understanding of business processes in an organization well enough.

Full textAbstract:
This study, within the framework of improving the English course for
postgraduate level at IPB (Bogor Institute of Agriculture), attempts to determine
the extent of English reading activities for academic purposes expected by
agricultural teaching staff at post graduate level, different expectations across the
study programs or a particular area of specialised discipline, the extent of English
problems experienced by postgraduate students and the strategies used to cope
with English needs in their postgraduate studies, to test a hypothesis that there is
a positive correlation between the students' command/scores of English and their
achievements/scores in agricultural subjects.
Questionnaires for agricultural staff and students were adapted from
Hughes (1988) and Weir (1988) to address these questions. Students' academic
records were obtained to compute the correlation between scores in English and
agricultural subjects. Review of literature and research in current theories of
reading in EFL is given to serve as a theoretical foundation to discuss English
reading lessons from secondary level to tertiary level in Indonesia and to provide
general implications to improve the English course at IPB.
The results indicate that staff reading expectation in English is high in
comparison to the students' level of English and in that all eight types of reading
activities listed in the questionnaires were expected. There are some different
expectations across the study programs. However, the most relevant finding to
note in regard to the the English course is that reading English texts as review of
literature for research proposes and reading English texts for writing assignments
were expected across all the study programs.
It is also found that reading English texts for academic purposes was still
a problem for the majority of student respondents and there are various
interesting reading strategies used by the student to cope with the English needs
of their studies. However, further investigation is essential to assist the students
with reading problems since the results do not specify the nature of reading
problems and methods used by the respondents.
A significant correlation is found between scores in English and
agricultural subjects at the level of 5% and 1% by the Spearman rank- order and
the Pearson product-moment correlation formulas. This implies that English is
central to the students' success in their postgraduate studies, which is also
supported by the student respondents' opinions. General implications and
suggestions are provided to assist postgraduate with reading problems and to
improve the English course for the students.

Full textAbstract:
As doenças transmitidas por alimentos provocam perdas humanas, sociais e econômicas, sendo que, para a prevenção de suas ocorrências, a higienização (limpeza e desinfecção) do ambiente de processamento e manipulação é procedimento de relevante importância. Para promover a segurança microbiológica dos alimentos, os compostos inorgânicos liberadores de cloro livre estão entre os desinfetantes químicos mais utilizados. No entanto, as evidências indicam que não há agente químico antimicrobiano frente aos quais os microrganismos não apresentem ou não possam ser selecionados por algum grau de resistência. Para obter dados sobre a ação do cloro como barreira sanitária, o objetivo deste trabalho foi o de verificar, frente ao hipoclorito de sódio, a sensibilidade de 32 amostras de Staphylococcus aureus isoladas no IPB/LACEN/RS de alimentos envolvidos em surtos de DTA entre os anos 2002 e 2006. Através do teste de suspensão, simularam-se condições de uso: concentração de 200 ppm de cloro livre, na ausência e na presença de matéria orgânica (1% de leite U.H.T. integral); subconcentração de 100 ppm de cloro livre; e quatro tempos de contato (5, 10, 15 e 30 minutos). A 200 ppm, na ausência de matéria orgânica, as 32 amostras foram sensíveis, sendo que, aos 10 minutos, 31 delas já estavam inativadas. A 200 ppm, na presença de matéria orgânica, mesmo aos 30 minutos de contato, 27 foram resistentes. Com 100 ppm de cloro livre, foram necessários 30 minutos de contato para que 24 amostras apresentassem sensibilidade. Concluiu-se que a sensibilidade das amostras foi influenciada pela concentração, pela presença de matéria orgânica e pelo tempo de contato. Considerando as condições do experimento quanto à efetividade do cloro como barreira sanitária em DTA, frente ao Staphylococcus aureus, esses três fatores precisam ser levados em consideração.Foodborne diseases cause human, social and economic losses. Their ocurrence can be avoided chiefly by cleaning and disinfection measures in processing and manipulation premises. Inorganic chlorine compounds are among the most common chemical disinfectants used to promote microbiological food safety. However, evidences indicate that microorganisms are capable to present or develop some degree of resistance to practically every known chemical agent. So, in order to obtain data regarding chlorine compounds as a sanitary barrier, this work evaluated the sensitivity, to sodium hypochlorite, of 32 samples of Staphylococcus aureus isolated at IPB-LACEN/RS from food involved in foodborne diseases outbreaks occurred between 2002-2006. Through the suspension test, usage conditions were simulated: a 200 ppm free chlorine solution in the absence and presence of organic matter (1% UHT whole milk); a subconcentration of 100 ppm free chlorine solution; and four contact times (5, 10, 15 and 30 minutes). At the concentration of 200 ppm, in absence of organic matter, all the 32 samples were sensitive. After 10 minutes,31 of them were already inactivated. At 200 ppm, in presence of organic matter, 27 strains were resistant even after a contact of 30 minutes. At 100 ppm free chlorine concentration, simulating a sub concentration usage, it was necessary a 30 minutes contact to 24 samples demonstrate some sensitivity. It was concluded that the sensitivity of samples was influenced by concentration, presence of organic matter and contact time. In view of the experimental conditions relative to chlorine efficacy as a sanitary barrier, in foodborne diseases associated to Staphylococcus aureus, these three factors must be considered.

Dissertação de Mestrado em Design, com a especialização em Produto apresentada na Faculdade de Arquitetura da Universidade de Lisboa para obtenção do grau de Mestre.Cerca de 80% da informação que o ser humano recebe é através da visão. Para pessoas cegas e com perda de visão severa a mais simples atividade do dia-a-dia pode tornar-se num desafio. A identificação de produtos é um problema comum para estas pessoas, principalmente produtos alimentares, sempre que a pessoa necessita de ir às compras, na despensa em casa ou em cada refeição do dia em que é necessário cozinhar. Para ajudar a população portadora de deficiência visual, a enfrentar este problema, esta dissertação tem como objeto de estudo o desenvolvimento de um equipamento/dispositivo que resolva este obstáculo de maneira a dar-lhe mais autonomia. Durante o desenvolvimento deste estudo foi importante salientar temas como o “Design Inclusivo”, o “Interação Produto/ Utilizador”, “Deficiência Visual” e a “Identificação de produtos”. Em termos metodológicos foi realizada, nesta dissertação, uma investigação de natureza mista assente em métodos intervencionistas e não-intervencionistas. Elaborou-se uma revisão da literatura, com o objetivo de reunir as bases teóricas das áreas de estudo; recorreu- se a uma análise de casos de estudo; fez-se um levantamento dos dispositivos existentes no mercado recorrendo a um estudo de casos; foram realizadas conversas informais, mas essenciais ao desenvolvimento do projeto e ainda se concretizou uma entrevista exploratória com um grupo de amostragem. Aplicando ainda uma metodologia não-intervencionista, foram feitos inquéritos por entrevista ao grupo de amostragem, colaborador e especialista, com o intuito de perceber que alterações seriam necessárias para a evolução do projeto. Simultaneamente, e numa vertente mais prática de investigação ativa, foram criados diversos modelos-teste do dispositivo, em que o último modelo, mais próximo daquilo que seria o dispositivo na realidade, foi utilizado para a realização de uma avaliação e simulação da utilização do mesmo, com o grupo de amostragem. Deste modo, espera-se que este processo de investigação permita mostrar a importância de uma melhor maneira de identificar produtos alimentares que facilite a rotina diária das pessoas portadoras de de ciência visual, melhorando consequentemente a sua qualidade de vida.
ABSTRACT: About 80% of the information that the human being receives is through vision. For blind people and with severe vision loss, the simplest day-today activity can become a challenge. Product identification is a common problem for these people, especially food products, whenever they need to go shopping, in the pantry at home or at each meal of the day when it is necessary to cook. To help the population with visual imparment dealing with this problem, this dissertation has as object of study, the development of an equipment/device that can solve this problem in order to give more autonomy. During the development of this study it was important to highlight themes such as “Inclusive Design”, “Product-User Interaction”, “Visual Impairment” and “Product Identification”. In methodological terms it was made, in this dissertation, a mixed nature investigation with interventionist and non-interventionist methods. A review of the literature was made, aiming to gather the theoretical bases of the study areas; It was made an analysis of study cases; a survey of the existing devices on the market was done using case studies; informal conversations were carried out, but they were essential to the development of the Project, it was also done an exploratory interview with a sampling group. Applying a non- interventionist methodology, were elaborated surveys by interview to the sampling group, a collaborator and a specialist, in order to understand what changes would be necessary for the evolution of the project. Simultaneously, and in a more practical eld of active investigation, several test models of the device were created, in which the last one, closer to what the device would actually be, was used to carry out an evaluation and simulation of its use, with the sampling group. Therefore, is expected that this process of investigation shows the importance of a better way to identify food products that facilitates the daily routine of blind or visually impaired people, giving them the desired autonomy.

É importante estudar compostos orgânicos na produção de mudas de T. heptaphylla, principalmente com resíduos considerados problemáticos como compostos a base de lixo urbano e restos vegetais oriundos de podas de árvores, bem como o tipo de água de irrigação utilizada. Com o trabalho o objetivo é analisar os substratos formados pela associação de doses de composto de lixo urbano e composto de poda de árvore, em condição de irrigação com água residuária e potável, nas características biométricas e na composição química foliar das mudas de Tabebuia heptaphylla. O delineamento experimental adotado foi em blocos casualizados em um esquema fatorial 8x2, sendo oito combinações de substratos (S): T1 (100% substrato comercial); T2 (100% C.P.A.); T3 (5% C.L. + 95% C.P.A.); T4 (10% C.L. + 90% C.P.A.); T5 (20% C.L. + 80% C.P.A.); T6 (40% C.L. + 60% C.P.A.); T7 (60% C.L. + 40% C.P.A.); e T8 (100% C.L.), associadas a irrigações com dois tipos de água (residuária e potável). As variáveis avaliadas foram: altura da parte aérea, diâmetro do coleto, massa de matéria seca da parte aérea e análise química foliar para determinação da concentração de macronutrientes. Os tratamentos que proporcionaram o melhor desenvolvimento das mudas de Tabebuia heptaphylla, foram os tratamentos 4 (10% CL + 90% CPA), 5 (20% CL + 80% CPA) e 6 (40% CL + 60% CPA). Sendo assim, os resultados permitem concluir que as combinações entre o composto de árvore e de lixo proporcionam resultados satisfatórios no desenvolvimento das mudas e que a utilização da água residuária influencia positivamente no desenvolvimento destas.
It is important to study organic compounds in the production of T. heptaphylla seedlings, especially with problematic considered as waste compounds to urban waste -based and plant remains derived from tree pruning, as well as the type of irrigation water used. The aim of this work was to analyze the biometric characteristics and the chemical composition of T. heptaphylla seedlings developed on different substrates formed by the association between different doses of urban waste compounds (CL) and compost of prunings trees (CPA) in irrigation condition with wastewater and drinking water. The experimental design was a randomized block in a 8x2 factorial design, with eight different combinations of substrates (S): S1 (100%) commercial substrate); S2 (C.P.A. 100%); S3 (5% + 95% C.L. C.P.A.); S4 (10% + 90% C.L. C.P.A.); S5 (20% + 80% C.L. C.P.A.); S6 (40% + 60% C.L. C.P.A.); S7 (60% + 40% C.L. C.P.A.); and S8 (100% C.L.) and with irrigation with two types of water (wastewater and potable). We evaluated the shoot height, stem diameter and leaf analysis to determine the concentration of macronutrients. Treatments that provided the best development of Tabebuia heptaphylla were treatments 4 (10% CL + 90 % CPA ), 5 (20 % CL + 80 % CPA) and 6 ( 40 % CL + 60 % CPA ) . The results obtained allow to conclude that the combination of the compound of tree and garbage provide satisfactory results development of the seedlings and the use of wastewater positively influences the development of these.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis aims to apply the theoretical approach of IPOs and financial services firm valuation on the Czech subsidiary of KBC: ČSOB. The theoretical part reviews the process of IPO with typical features of IPOs, and the pricing of IPO is discussed with the focus on theory of banks valuation. The empirical part of the thesis provides a financial analysis of the ČSOB, business plan and the valuation of the bank as of 30 September 2010 with the price of the actual IPO. This part aims at practical application of the theory of IPO and valuation. Al in all, the aim of the thesis is to apply theoretical knowledge of the IPOs on the practical case of ČSOB. Various analyses such as of KBC, ČSOB, Czech banking market, development of IPOs in CEE are used in order to apply and determine the reasons for the IPO, its timing, price and potential structure of investors.

Objective: To determine fracture toughness (KIC) and fatigue crack propagation (FCP) parameters for IPS e.max CAD and IPS e.max Press.
Materials and methods: For KIC determinations, 20 (6x6x6x12mm) notchless triangular prism (NTP) specimens of IPS e.max CAD and IPS e.max Press were prepared. IPS e.max CAD blocks were cut, ground and then crystallized, while IPS e.max Press ingots were pressed into molds obtained from wax prisms. Each specimen was mounted into a holder and custom grips were used to attach the holder to a computerized universal testing machine (Instron model 4301). The assembly was loaded in tension at a crosshead speed of 0.1mm/min and KIC was calculated based on the recorded maximum load at fracture. Fractured surfaces were characterized using scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results were statistically analyzed using Weibull statistics and t-test (⍺=0.05).
For FCP characterization, a pilot test was done with three Plexiglas NTP samples. A pre-crack was initiated in one of the specimen edges. Several lines were scribed on the side of the specimen to monitor crack propagation. The specimens were mounted in the holder and then attached to custom grips on a servo hydraulic fatigue-testing machine (Instron model 8511). A strain gauge was attached to these grips to monitor crack opening displacement. Each specimen was cyclically loaded in tension (Mode I) in a load range between 1 and 20 N and crack length was monitored and filmed using a high definition video recorder (SONY HDR-XR550V) attached to a microscope (Edmund Scientific Co, Barrington, NJ). Video recording was terminated once catastrophic fracture of the specimen occurred. Cyberlink Power Director and Image J software were used in data analysis.
Results: KIC values were significantly higher for IPS e.max Press than IPS e.max CAD. The pilot FCP tests on Plexiglas revealed limitations with regards to the applicability of NTP specimen KIC test to FCP studies due to the presence of a trapezoidal crack front in the specimens.
Conclusion: IPS e.max Press is superior to IPS e.max CAD in KIC. Further research should be conducted to evaluate the feasibility of using a trapezoidal crack front in FCP studies.Dentistry, Faculty of

Full textAbstract:
In this doctoral thesis we bring together some empirical analysis on investors’ participation
in initial public offering (IPOs) from a market whose characteristics are unique and
significantly different from US and other important IPO markets. There are two important
features which distinguishes the Indian IPO market. First, the Indian IPO market is
characterised by a high level of transparency. Information on the participation of different
investor categories is publicly available during the offer period on a real time basis. Second,
Indian IPO firms are also required to reserve and allocate pre-determined fraction of total
shares on offer to different investor categories participating in the IPO.
Our first empirical study shows that the transparency in the mechanism creates highly
inelastic demand curves for a large number of IPOs. Analysis of demand over-time shows
that while institutional investors take the lead in subscribing to strong IPOs, noninstitutional
investors do so in weak IPOs, but perhaps not always with an honest intent.
Our analysis of IPO pricing shows that favourable demand by uninformed investors is
positively associated with a high IPO price. Further, while reputed underwriters appear to
exercise far more caution and restraint in setting prices, we find that in a large number of
IPOs, less reputed underwriters ignore information produced during the offer period and set
the price at the upper bound of the price range. Our findings suggest that the transparency
in allocation mechanism appears to be a double edged sword for the uninformed (retail)
investors. We recommend a change in the current regulation to protect investor’s welfare.
We also examine the influence of the participation of different investor categories on initial
returns. Unsurprisingly, we find that while the participation of both the informed investor
categories significantly influences initial returns, the participation of retail investor losses
its significance in explaining initial returns for bookbuilding and auction IPOs. We also
analyse the participation of informed institutional investors to examine whether the
presence of new bank loans at the time of the IPO reduces information asymmetry. Our
results show that presence of bank loans do not appear to reduce information asymmetry as
institutional investors participate significantly less in IPOs with new bank loans. While this
result is contrary to prior studies on bank loan announcements, it is consistent with a recent
study which shows that prior studies on bank loan announcements are plagued by sample
selection issues.
In our final empirical analysis we examine the participation of employees in IPOs and
analyse whether such participation can predict superior financial and operating performance
of the firm. We find that IPOs with high employee participation offer significantly higher
initial returns than IPOs with low employee participation. We also find that firms with high
employee participation in their IPOs exhibit superior post IPO operating performance.
Further, we find that the prior participation of other investor categories, in particular the
institutional investors, does not appear to influence the participation of employees in IPOs.
Our results suggest that employees have valuable private information about the quality of
the firm. The evidence presented in the study suggests that in the context of Indian IPOs,
where data on investors’ participation is available on a real time basis, uninformed
investors may use information on employee participation to select well performing IPOs.

Population genomics studies in Neotropical species are scarce, however, they are of great importance for the understanding of the neutral and adaptive variations, in order to develop strategies of management and conservation for the species. In this context our objective was to verify the role of natural selection in the distribution of populations diversity in Handroanthus serratifolius and Tabebuia aurea. Here, we study population genomics based in sequence capture using 24,751 pre-developed probes. For H serratifolius were sampled c. 64,000 SNPs in 144 individuals from 16 populations. For T aurea were sampled c. 18,000 SNPs in 48 individuals from 6 populations. Genetic differentiation was high (FST = 0.194, p <0.001) in H. serratifolius and intermediate (FST = 0.144, p <0.001) in T. aurea. The inbreeding coefficient was low in both species, however, in three populations of H. serratifolius it was intermediate or high. The genetic structure of populations presented two genetic groups for the populations sampled in the two species. H. serratifolius with high genetic differentiation and T. aurea with admixture in all populations. We did not find SNPs outliers in the distribution of FST values, due to the wide distribution of values found for the populations of the two species. In the search for correlation between environmental variables and changes in allelic frequency H. serratifolius presented only three SNPs, inside six genes and T. aurea presented 16 SNPs, inside 25 genes. The functional annotation of these genes showed relationship with molecular processes, transposable elements and one in T. aurea related to resistance to diseases. In conclusion, our data show a selection signal in H. serratifolius for only three loci with local adaptation signal. In T. aurea our data show a greater number of locos (16 locos) with local adaptation signal.

Nesse contexto nosso objetivo foi verificar o papel da seleção natural na distribuição da diversidade de populações de Handroanthus serratifolius e Tabebuia aurea. Aqui, nós estudamos a genômica de populações baseado em sequence capture utilizando 24.751 sondas previamente desenvolvidas. Para H serratifolius foram amostrados c. 64.000 SNPs em 144 indivíduos de 16 populações. Para T aurea foram amostrados c. 18.000 SNPs em 48 indivíduos de 6 populações. A diferenciação genética foi alta (FST = 0,194, p < 0,001) em H. serratifolius e intermediária (FST = 0,144, p < 0,001) em T. aurea. O coeficiente de endogamia foi baixo nas duas espécies, no entanto, em três populações de H. serratifolius foi intermediária ou alta. A estrutura genética das populações apresentou dois grupos genéticos para as populações amostradas nas duas espécies. H. serratifolius com alta diferenciação genética e T. aurea com mistura em todas as populações. Nós não encontramos SNPs outliers na distribuição de valores de FST, devido a ampla distribuição de valores encontrada para as populações das duas espécies. Na busca por correlação entre variáveis ambientais e mudanças na frequência alélica H. serratifolius apresentou apenas três SNPs, presentes em seis genes e T. aurea apresentou 16 SNPs, presentes em 25 genes. A anotação funcional desses genes mostrou relação com processos moleculares, elementos transponíveis e um em T. aurea ligado a resistência a doenças. Concluindo, nossos dados apresentam sinal de seleção em H. serratifolius para apenas três locos com sinal de adaptação local. Em T. aurea nossos dados mostram maior número de locos (16 locos) com sinal de adaptação local.

Full textAbstract:
This research investigated the market conditions caused by IPO advertising by examining the impact of IPO advertising, based on the US stock market from 1986 to 2009. The relationship between advertising intensity in the IPO year and the degree of IPO underpricing was examined. It was found that IPO advertising is an inappropriate way to convey a firm's true value of IPO to market participants. An increase in advertising intensity around an IPO event increases the degree of initial returns. Simultaneously, however, advertising intensity around an IPO event also increases the post-IPO initial-return uncertainty, which raises the question as to whether advertising serves primarily as a mechanism to convey a firm's true value to investors. The theoretical valuation of IPO, the relation between IPO advertising and the degree of stock overvaluation and the relation between IPO advertising and long-run performance of IPO are discussed. Based on the Peasnell (1982)'s residual income valuation framework (henceforth RIV), IPO advertising was proved to cause stock price to be more overvalued in the secondary market: a positive relationship was found between advertising and the degree of stock overvaluation relative to its theoretical value. The stock price tends to revert back to its fundamental value in the long run a few years after IPO. The link between advertising intensity and long-run performance was investigated. The Fama French 3-factor model and Carhart 4-factor model were employed, with investment horizons of one, two, three and four years. While advertising is relevant to a firm’s value in the IPO year, the degree of advertising in the IPO year is unrelated to its value two and three years following the IPO event. The view that advertising serves primarily as a form of intangible asset that enhances future earnings (i.e., a 4 firm's value) is unable to account for the degree of underpricing. Accordingly, an alternative hypothesis, that advertising inflates the short-run stock price, was proposed. The results of this study are consistent with the view of Purnanandam and Swaminathan (2004), namely that the stock price of newly listed firms can be overvalued.

Enarbetsrehabiliteringsmetod som enligt internationell forskning visat sig varaden mest effektiva för dessa personer är Individual Placement and Support(IPS), men kunskap om hur metoden fungerar i Sverige är ännu bristfällig.Syftet var att belysa IPS-coachers uppfattning om vad som påverkat arbetsrehabiliteringenför klienter med psykiskt funktionshinder inom två IPS-program i norraSverige. Metoden som användes var attanalysera åtta IPS-coachers dokumentation kring 65 klientersarbetsrehabilitering under totalt två år med hjälp av kvalitativinnehållsanalys. Ett övergripande tema kunde skapas ”Motivation och förmåga att se värdet av IPS möjliggör en fungerandearbetsrehabilitering”, som bestod av de fyra huvudkategorierna: ”Klientcentrerat arbetssätt för att skapa ochupprätthålla klientens motivation, ”Klientens hälsa, livssituation ochstrategier för konstruktiv anpassning”, ”Betingelser för lämplig arbetsplats” och ”Spelregler i samarbetet”. Upprätthållandetav motivation visade sig vara mycket komplext då det påverkas av så mångaaspekter och för personer med psykiskt funktionshinder kan det vara extrasvårt. En slutsats är att metoden IPS och arbetsterapi delar flera centralavärderingar. Framför allt att meningsfull aktivitet påverkar människans hälsaoch bidrar till utveckling, men också att ett klientcentrerat arbetssättmöjliggör skapandet av flexibla strategier som fungerar för den enskildeklienten i det sammanhang där han eller hon ska utföra sina aktiviteter.

Full textAbstract:
A number of previous studies have assessed whether insider trades convey information to the market. Whilst lots of research has been undertaken in the past three decades, the issue is still contentious and there is ongoing debate concerning the legality and profitability of insider trading. Regulators restrict insider trading before any material news announcements, so that insider cannot take advantage of private information. Motivated by the studies in individual and aggregate insider trading, the objective of this thesis is to understand the role of signals that insiders send to the financial market about their companies when they trade, in general and to assess the role of insider trading in the context of initial public offerings (IPOs), particularly under lockup restrictions and the high information asymmetries inherent in IPOs.

Full textAbstract:
The closing price first day of trading has historically been found to exceed the offer price set in IPOs, implying that many issuing firms tend to leave money on the table in their IPO. This thesis examines the level of IPO underpricing in Sweden using unique data of IPO transactions on the largest Swedish stock exchanges during 2010-2016. It further discusses the valuation difficulties using the most common valuation methods for firms exhibiting characteristics commonly shared by technological firms. Univariate and multivariate tests confirm the existence of underpricing on Swedish stock exchanges during the period of study. Firms in the technological sector are found to experience both high average levels of underpricing and great variance in initial returns, suggesting potential difficulties valuing technological firms. Robust univariate tests do however not yield a significant result of greater variance in initial returns compared to rest of the sample. By using regression analysis, I find capital raised relative to market capitalization to have significant negative effect on initial returns.

Full textAbstract:
Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível SuperiorHandroanthus chrysotrichus is a Brazilian native forest species which presents several important aspects both under the economic and ecological points of view, because its ability to provide timber products as well as for being indicated for degraded and permanent preservation areas recovery. Its seeds present problems concerning loss of viability when subjected to storage. This way, micropropagation emerges as an alternative for the species propagation. However, some characteristics inherent in in vitro grown plants may promote physiological and anatomic changes in tissues under that condition. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate aspects related to micropropagation and leaf anatomy of H. chrysotrichus. Firstly, health and germination tests were applied to seeds from different lots of that species. As for in vitro multiplication of H. chrysotrichus explants, different sources and concentrations of cytokines combined or not with auxin were tested, as well as the influence of successive subculture execution on multiplication rates. Aspects concerning leaf senescence of sprouts maintained in vitro in Woody Plant Medium (WPM) were also assessed. Concerning rooting in vitro, different concentrations of 3-Indolebutyric acid (IBA) combined with the presence or absence of vermiculite in ½ WPM were tested and, later, the ex vitro acclimatization of plants micropropagated was assessed. Finally, the test was conducted in order to compare the leaf anatomy of H. chrysotrichus plants grown in vivo, in vitro and acclimatized. The seed lots of H. chrysotrichus showed differences in health quality and geminal capacity of the seeds. As for in vitro multiplication of H. chrysotrichus, the use of cytokinins was not considered necessary. High rates of in vitro multiplication were obtained, when considered in vitro formation of buds. As for leaf senescence, the species showed great potential, remaining long periods in the same nutrient medium. There was rooting in vitro in more than 50% of the shoots cultivated in the presence of vermiculite, regardless IBA concentration. It was not possible to satisfactorily promote the acclimatization of micropropagated plants, as only 7.12% of the seedlings survived. Differences in leaf anatomy of plants grown in vivo, in vitro or acclimatized were verified. The results can contribute with information about H. chrysotrichus, concerning aspects related to its in vitro culture and leaf anatomy of the tissues grown in different environments.
Handroanthus chrysotrichus é uma espécie florestal nativa do Brasil, que apresenta diversos aspectos importantes tanto sob o ponto de vista econômico, pela produção de produtos madeiráveis, como, também, ecologicamente, uma vez que é indicada para a recuperação de áreas degradadas e de preservação permanente. As sementes desta espécie apresentam problemas referentes à perda da viabilidade quando submetidas ao armazenamento. Sendo assim, a micropropagação emerge como uma alternativa de propagação para a espécie. No entanto, algumas características inerentes às plantas cultivadas in vitro podem promover alterações fisiológicas e anatômicas nos tecidos mantidos nessas condições. Desse modo, o objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar aspectos relacionados à micropropagação e à anatomia foliar de H. chrysotrichus. Primeiramente, foram realizados testes de sanidade e germinação nas sementes provenientes de diferentes lotes desta espécie. Já para a multiplicação in vitro de explantes de H. chrysotrichus foram testadas diferentes fontes e concentrações de citocininas combinadas ou não à auxina, bem como a influência da execução de sucessivos subcultivos nas taxas de multiplicação. Também foram avaliados aspectos relacionados à senescência foliar de brotações desta espécie conservadas in vitro em meio nutritivo WPM. Em relação ao enraizamento in vitro, testaram-se diferentes concentrações de Ácido 3-Indolbutírico - AIB combinadas à presença ou ausência de vermiculita no meio nutritivo ½WPM e, posteriormente, avaliou-se a aclimatização ex vitro das plantas micropropagadas. Por fim, foi realizado o ensaio visando comparar a anatomia foliar de plantas de H. chrysotrichus cultivadas in vivo, in vitro ou aclimatizadas. Os lotes de sementes de H. chrysotrichus apresentaram diferenças na qualidade sanitária e capacidade geminativa das sementes. Na multiplicação in vitro de H. chrysotrichus, o uso de citocininas foi considerado dispensável. Foram obtidas elevadas taxas de multiplicação in vitro em H. chrysotrichus, quando considerada a formação in vitro de gemas. Quanto à senescência foliar, a espécie demonstrou grande potencial, podendo permanecer longos períodos no mesmo meio nutritivo. Houve rizogênese in vitro em mais de 50% das brotações cultivadas na presença de vermiculita, independentemente das concentrações de AIB. Não foi possível promover a aclimatização das plantas micropropagadas de maneira satisfatória, sendo que apenas 7,12% das mudas sobreviveram. Foram verificadas diferenças na anatomia foliar de plantas desenvolvidas in vivo, in vitro ou aclimatizadas. Os resultados obtidos poderão contribuir com informações a respeito de H. chrysotrichus quanto a aspectos relacionados ao seu cultivo in vitro e anatomia foliar dos tecidos cultivados em diferentes ambientes.

Background: The post-IPO anomalous behaviour in the short and long-run are among the well-recognised anomalies in corporate finance, and exist on all equity markets. The researchers are not unanimous what causes these phenomena’s, and previous research has primarily focused on the US and European markets. Purpose: The study aims to investigate the market performance of Swedish IPO's in the short- and long-run in-between 2007-2017 for different sectors. Method: The market adjusted initial return method was used to calculate the short-run initial return. The Even-time approach with the Buy-and-hold methodology was used to calculate the long-run abnormal returns. A regression analysis was adopted to investigate the relationship between some existing theories for explaining underpricing. Conclusion: Overall the sample set for the study were on average underpriced with 9,25 %, furthermore, no evidence was found that Swedish IPO’s underperformed in a three-year period compared to the market. Of the theories tested, the signalling hypothesis was significant and can be one determinant for underpricing of Swedish IPO’s.

Paraíba Federal Institute of Technology, Science, and Education IFPB is a part of the Brazilian educational system which has the scientific and technological development as its final activity. It offers technological and professional education in different modalities of teaching and intends to carry out applied research having its human resources organized in groups in order to develop research activities and reinforce knowledge. This research that presents the production indicators of these groups registered at the board of the National Council of Technological and Scientific Development CNPq, and qualified by the IFPB originates from the question: does the IFPB know of the production of its research groups? This questioning takes us to the objective: to get to know the scientific production and the technological results achieved by the research groups. This theme is relevant to the Information Science CI as an area that studies the dynamics of generation, collection, organization, storage, retrieval, interpretation, transmission, transformation, and utilization of information and the relation between information and knowledge leading to studies about technological and scientific production. The object of study is the 24 research groups of the IFPB created by the teaching staff s demands from 1994 onward and named according to the Knowledge Area Table of the Higher Education Staff s Assessment Coordination Capes. The data was manually collected from the résumés that are available at the Lattes Platform from 1994 to 2008 and are displayed by groups classified from 1 to 24 followed by the formation year. The analysis was carried out via the quantitative aspects of the production, dissemination and use of the registered information and applied to production assessment, subdivided into two periods, 1994/2000 and 2001/2008, and by the groups with 10 or more human resources and groups with 5 or less ones. In numerical terms, the groups technological and scientific production presents meaningful indicators with a significant involvement of the students; with the total number of 2.140 journal publications and 536 magazine articles. These media are the most used to disseminate scientific knowledge and technological results. There is 32 software, 5 technological products, and 13 processes or techniques without registration or patent. The groups research projects presented 6 cancelled ones, 106 finished, and 108 in progress. The groups, when developing projects, managed to get partnership and funding from renowned agencies which prove the relevance of the developed projects. We conclude that the production presented meaningful indicators, a result of research development with subsequent publication of the results and that it does not necessarily mean that the quantity of human resources has any direct relation with the production. These indicators justify the activities of the research groups to the IFPB formulate, follow and assess the research policies so that strategies are implemented aiming at a renewal of the researches, the expansion of the quantity of the research groups, and also enabling students and technicians participation as well as motivating the funding by the public aid agencies.

Oferta educação profissional e tecnológica nas diferentes modalidades de ensino e se propõe a realizar pesquisa aplicada, tendo seus recursos humanos organizados em grupos, para desenvolver atividades de pesquisa e potencializar o conhecimento. Esta pesquisa, que apresenta os indicadores de produção desses grupos cadastrados no diretório do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico CNPq, e credenciados pelo IFPB, origina-se na pergunta: o IFPB conhece a produção dos seus grupos de pesquisa? Questionamento este que remete ao objetivo: conhecer a produção científica e os resultados tecnológicos alcançados pelos grupos de pesquisa. Esse tema é relevante para a Ciência da Informação - CI como área que estuda as dinâmicas de geração, coleta, organização, armazenamento, recuperação, interpretação, transmissão, transformação e utilização da informação, e a relação que existe entre informação e conhecimento, conduzindo a estudos sobre a produção científica e tecnológica. O objeto de estudo são os 24 grupos de pesquisa do IFPB, criados pelas demandas dos docentes a partir de 1994 e denominados de acordo com a Tabela de Área do Conhecimento da Coordenação de Avaliação de Pessoal de Nível Superior Capes. Os dados foram coletados de forma manual dos currículos que estão disponíveis na Plataforma Lattes no período de 1994 a 2008 e estão apresentados por grupos classificados de 1 a 24, sequenciados pelo ano de formação. A análise foi realizada através dos aspectos quantitativos da produção, disseminação e uso da informação registrada, subdividida em dois períodos, de 1994/2000 e 2001/2008 e pelos grupos com dez ou mais e grupos com cinco ou menos recursos humanos. A produção científica e tecnológica dos grupos, em termos numéricos, apresenta indicadores significativos, com participação expressiva dos estudantes; com um total de 2.140 publicações em anais e 536 artigos em periódicos. Essas mídias são as mais utilizadas para disseminar o conhecimento científico e os resultados tecnológicos. Há 32 softwares, 5 produtos tecnológicos e 13 processos ou técnicas sem registro ou patente. Os projetos de pesquisa dos grupos apresentaram 6 cancelados, 106 concluídos e 108 em andamento. Os grupos, ao desenvolverem projetos, conseguiram parcerias e financiamentos de agências de renome, o que comprova a relevância dos projetos desenvolvidos. Concluímos que a produção apresentou indicadores expressivos, resultado do desenvolvimento de pesquisa com a consequente publicação dos resultados. E que não necessariamente quantidade de recursos humanos tem relação direta com a produção. Esses indicadores justificam as atividades dos grupos de pesquisa para o IFPB formular, acompanhar e avaliar as políticas de pesquisa, para que estratégias sejam implementadas visando à renovação das pesquisas, a expansão da quantidade dos grupos de pesquisa, inclusive, proporcionando a participação de estudantes, técnicos, motivando inclusive financiamento pelas agências públicas de fomento.

Public HealthPh.D.
Annually, more than 15 million U.S. children witness intimate partner violence (IPV) in their homes between caregivers. Witnessing IPV during childhood has been associated with increased risk of adulthood IPV victimization, although this relationship has most commonly been examined among older populations of white adults (McKinney, Caetano, Ramisetty-Mikler, & Nelson, 2009; Straus, 1989; Whitfield, Anda, Dube, & Felitti, 2003), not minority women who experience a disproportionately high burden of IPV victimization (Breiding, Chen, & Black, 2014). It also is unclear whether there are specific characteristics of childhood witnessing of IPV that may aid in understanding the increased probability of IPV victimization observed among young, minority women. This study examined associations between four characteristics of childhood witnessing of IPV (direction of violence witnessed, academic disruption, fearfulness, and frequency) and adulthood physical and sexual IPV victimization. Further, psychosocial moderators of these associations were examined. Existing data collected from 315 women residing in North Philadelphia were analyzed. Overall, 28% of women witnessed IPV during childhood and nearly one in four women reported IPV victimization. Among these women there was diversity with regards to the characteristics of witnessing reported. Unadjusted associations observed that women who witnessed bidirectional IPV, experienced academic disruption, or reported fearful witnessing were significantly more likely to experience adulthood IPV victimization than women who did not witness IPV during childhood. After adjusting for covariates, these witnessing characteristics were no longer significantly associated with adulthood IPV victimization; however, the risk of adulthood IPV victimization was consistently related to current depressive symptoms and substance use. Modest support for effect modification by low self-esteem was observed. A significant difference in the predicted probability of adulthood IPV victimization was observed among women reporting bidirectional childhood witnessing of IPV and high self-esteem in adulthood compared to women reporting bidirectional witnessing and low self-esteem (difference=0.51, 95% CI: 0.06, 0.95, p=0.027). Childhood abuse was associated with greater probability of adulthood IPV victimization regardless of the frequency of childhood witnessing of IPV (aOR=5.8, 95% CI: 2.2, 13.6). Given the high prevalence of childhood witnessing of IPV observed in this study, these findings highlight the importance of screening for childhood IPV witnessing. In addition, these results suggest particular groups of urban women who may be at highest risk for adulthood IPV victimization, including those experiencing depressive symptoms, substance use, and a history of childhood abuse. Identifying adolescents and young adults with these characteristics and providing early prevention services may reduce the probability of future IPV victimization among young, sexually active urban women. Additionally, examining the role of low self-esteem during child- and adulthood may inform efforts to prevent IPV victimization. These findings highlight the need for prospective, longitudinal studies of urban children and adolescents to examine the complex causal pathways between childhood witnessing of IPV, psychosocial characteristics, and adulthood IPV victimization.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, based on the work of Vogel, we generated the Inflow Performance Relationship (IPR) curves and its dimensionless form at any stage of depletion using black-oil simulator results. The IPR was generated for horizontal well with gas and water coning problems, producing from thin oil reservoir sandwiched between gas cap and aquifer. Two empirical IPR equations adopted from SPE paper by Whitson was also presented here. The first empirical relationship was developed based on simulated data for each reservoir pressure (stage of depletion) while the second relationship was developed based on all generated data.A fully implicit black-oil Cartesian model with total grid number of 1480 and 150 ft total thickness was used as reservoir model. The horizontal well extends through the full length of reservoir in y-direction with only one grid number along the horizontal section which makes the model a 2D problem. Sensor reservoir simulator and Pipe-It software were utilized to generate the IPR data.This work also includes a sensitivity study to understand the effect of several parameters to gas and water coning behavior, well placement optimization, coning collapse study, and the effect of coning to maximum well production rate. In coning collapse study, a relationship between flowing bottom-hole pressure and reservoir pressure when the cone collapse is provided in graphical form. This could be useful in field application where chocking the well to lower flowing bottom-hole pressure has become one alternative to reduce coning problems.

Ding, Z. "Functional analysis of IP3 receptors." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2010. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.598546.
Full textAbstract:
I developed a high-throughput fluorescence polarisation (FP) binding assay using fluorescein-IP3 and purified N-terminal fragments of IP3R to examine the thermodynamics of ligand binding to IP3R. I demonstrate that at 4°C, equilibrium competition binding using 3H-IP3 and the FP assay provided similar estimates of the equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) for a variety of ligands. I showed that the IBC alone is sufficient for high-affinity binding of adenophostin A (AdA). Similar amounts of binding energy are diverted into rearranging the SD for IP3 and AdA, but they are distinguished by their binding enthalpy and entropy changes. I revealed that the enthalpy and entropy changes of the binding of 2-O-modified IP3 analogues are different, despite their similar free energy changes. These results prompted me to propose a new model to explain partial agonism of IP3R. Different cell-surface receptors have been reported to evoke Ca2+ release from different IP3-sensitive Ca2+ stores. I examined this phenomenon in fura 2-loaded HEK cells. Combined maximal concentrations of ATP and carbachol (CCh) evoked a Ca2+ response that was larger than the response to either alone, but smaller than the sum of the responses. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, ATP evoked a Ca2+ release that was significantly larger than CCh in cells pretreated with CCh, but smaller than the ATP response in naïve cells. In the absence of extracellular Ca2+, CCh evoked a Ca2+ release that was significantly larger than ATP in cells pretreated with ATP, but smaller than the CCh response in naïve cells. These results suggest the existence of discrete agonist-specific Ca2+-stores that partially overlap.

Full textAbstract:
This Diploma thesis deals with optimization of the hydrogel preparation with various additions of substances affecting adhesion, studying the adhesion of prepared hydrogel systems and modifying their adhesion properties. Prepared hydrogels were agarose, alginate and gellan polymer systems with additions of acrylic acid, acrylamide, calcium chloride and Tween 20. The experimental part of the diploma thesis focuses first on optimizing the preparation of individual hydrogels, from which, according to certain criteria, suitable representatives were selected to study adhesion and its controlled modification. Agarose and gellan hydrogels were selected as suitable representatives, which were then used in rheological measurements. Based on these measurements, the effect of the adhesive force and the adhesive work of individual materials was evaluated. It was found that the best adhesion properties of the materials used are unadjusted hydrogels, in the case of hydrogels with the addition of another substance, a negative effect on adhesion was observed, when the adhesion force was reduced and also the adhesion work was reduced.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays every organisation is connected to the Internet and more and more of the world population have access to the Internet. The development of Internet permits to simplify the communication between the people. Now it is easy to have a conversation with people from everywhere in the world. This popularity of Internet brings also new threats like viruses, worm, Trojan, or denial of services. Because of this, companies start to develop new security systems, which help in the protection of networks. The most common security tools used by companies or even by personal users at home are firewalls, antivirus and now even Intrusion Detection System (IDS). Nevertheless, this is not enough so a new security system has been created as Intrusion Prevention Systems, which are getting more popular with the time .This could be defining as the blend between a firewall and an IDS. The IPS is using the detection capability of the IDS and the response capability of a firewall. Two main types of IPS exist, Network-based Intrusion Prevention System (NIPS) and Host-based Intrusion Prevention System (HIPS). The thirst should be set-up in front of critical resources as a web server while the second is set-up inside the host and so protect only this host. Different methodologies are used to evaluate IPSs but all of them have been produced by constructors or by organisms specialised in the evaluation of security devices. This means that no standard methodology in the evaluation of IPS exists. The utilisation of such methodology permits to benchmark system in an objective way and so it will be possible to compare the results with other systems. This thesis reviews different evaluation methodologies for IPS. Because of the lack of documentation around them the analysis of IDS evaluation methodology will be also done. This will permit to help in the creation of an IPS evaluation methodology. The evaluation of such security system is vast; this is why this thesis will only focus on a particular type of threat: Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS). The evaluation methodology will be around the capacity of an IPS to handle such threat. The produced methodology is capable of generating realistic background traffic along with attacking traffic, which are DDoS attacks. Four different DDoS attacks will be used to carry out the evaluation of a chosen IPS. The evaluation metrics are the packet lost that will be evaluated on two different ways because of the selected IPS. The other metrics are the time to respond to the attack, the available bandwidth, the latency, the reliability, the CPU load, and memory load. All experiment have been done in a real environment to ensure that the results are the more realistic possible. The selected IPS to carry out the evaluation of the methodology is the most popular and open-source Snort, which has been set-up in a Linux machine. The results shows that system is effective to handle a DDoS attack but when the rate of 6 000 pps of malicious traffic is reach Snort start to dropped malicious and legitimate packets without any differences. It also shows that the IPS could only handle traffic lower than 1Mbps. The conclusion shows that the produces methodology permits to evaluate the mitigation capability of an IPS. The limitations of the methodology are also explained. One of the key limitations is the impossibility to aggregate the background traffic with the attacking traffic. Furthermore, the thesis shows interesting future work that could be done as the automation of the evaluation procedure to simply the evaluation of IPSs.

Bohdan, Roman. "Innovation, Ownership and IPO Underpricing." ScholarWorks@UNO, 2018. https://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/2550.
Full textAbstract:
This dissertation consists of two empirical essays. The first chapter titled: “Hedge Fund Activism and Dual Ownership of U.S. Multinationals”. Harford, Wang & Zhang (2017) conclude that holding high cash balances abroad to avoid US taxes causes internal capital markets and investments distortions. We posit that hedge funds target MNCs with more severe internal capital and agency problems. We demonstrate that upon acquiring dual ownership in these firms, hedge funds reduce internal capital problems and improve investment, especially innovation, efficiencies. To further reduce agency costs of foreign cash holdings, hedge funds engage dual firms in focused acquisitions. These improvements are reflected in superior performances of dual firms relative to non-dual firms. Chapter 2 titled as “Innovation Strategies & IPO Underpricing”. In this chapter, we investigate how a firms’ choice of pre-IPO innovation strategies affect IPO pricing. We differentiate the orientation of the issuing firm’s innovation portfolio in terms of exploitative orientation versus explorative orientation based on citations of patents across technology classes. We introduce a measure of innovation power to generate breakthrough innovations. We show that the issuing firms with greater innovation power, especially firms with exploratory orientation of a patent, significantly decrease underpricing and have the power to bargain a higher offer price. Our results suggest that a higher exploration strategy requires more time to negotiate a higher offer price while more valuable innovation requires less time to bargain at the higher offer price.

A globalização confere à tradução um papel cada vez mais relevante e transversal a diferentes setores da sociedade. Podemos destacar a sua importância nas instituições multilingues internacionais, pois é a tradução que faz com que as mensagens sejam disseminadas eficazmente em diferentes idiomas. Esta adquire igualmente especial interesse quando o objetivo de uma instituição passa pela aposta na internacionalização e no acolhimento de comunidades internacionais. É este o caso do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança que tenta manter, e expandir, uma posição de destaque neste campo, apostando para isso na tradução das suas normas, regulamentos e plataformas digitais para língua inglesa, de modo a que todos os estudantes tenham igual oportunidade de acesso àquilo que rege o funcionamento da instituição.
Deste modo, este projeto, realizado no âmbito do Mestrado em Tradução, centra-se na tradução dos regulamentos e normas mais relevantes para os alunos internacionais, bem como na tradução das plataformas de matrículas e do Serviço On-line dos Serviços Académicos que suportam estes documentos digitalmente, apresentando ainda uma componente teórica focada na tradução jurídica e na sua relevância no meio institucional. A tradução dos regulamentos tem como finalidade conceder aos alunos internacionais acesso a todas as regras a que estão sujeitos dentro da instituição de ensino que os acolhe, ao passo que a tradução das plataformas digitais é realizada para que a legislação do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança possa ser posta em prática.
Tudo isto contribui para que a instituição seja um foco de atração para estudantes estrangeiros e funcione de forma fluida e harmoniosa.With globalisation, translation has become an increasingly important activity in several branches of our society. A good example is the role translation plays in international multilingual institutions in conveying their messages in an efficient manner. Translation is equally relevant when an institution aims at becoming more international and at receiving foreign communities. That is the case of the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança whose goal is to secure, and expand, a leading position in this field by having its digital platforms and regulations translated into English, so that every student has an equal opportunity to access the documents that govern the operations of the institution. That being said, this project, carried out within the Master in Translation, focuses on the translation of the most relevant regulations for international students, as well as on the translation of the enrolment and the On-line Service of the Office of Academic Affairs platforms that sustain them. It also includes a theoretical component directed at legal translation and its importance in an institutional context. The purpose of translating the documents is to grant international students access to all the rules they must abide by within the receiving institution, whereas the translation of the digital platforms is a means to implement the legislation written by the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança. This makes the institution more appealing to international students and contributes to an efficient academic environment.

Este relatório é o resultado de um estágio desenvolvido no Gabinete de Imagem e Apoio ao Estudante (GIAPE) do Instituto Politécnico de Bragança (IPB) no âmbito do mestrado de Tradução. O tema deste trabalho aborda o papel da tradução na comunicação institucional no geral, incidindo no caso do IPB em particular.
A comunicação institucional é uma das grandes preocupações do ensino superior em Portugal com o objetivo de captar alunos e públicos diversificados a nível nacional e internacional e no estabelecimento de uma imagem de marca positiva. A adoção de estratégias de comunicação integrada de marketing por parte das instituições de ensino superior poderá ajudá-las a aumentar a competitividade e a sua quota de mercado, tanto a nível nacional como internacional. Para tal, é necessário adaptar todos os conteúdos e materiais promocionais aos países de destino, fazendo com que a tradução tenha um papel fundamental nas estratégias das instituições de ensino superior. O estágio desenvolvido no GIAPE tentou corresponder a estes pressupostos.
O presente trabalho debruça-se sobre algumas das características de marketing adotadas pelo IPB e analisa o modo como a tradução surge e interfere na comunicação institucional. Para além disso, estabelece uma ligação entre a comunicação institucional e os Estudos de Tradução, referindo algumas teorias recentes que estão subjacentes a este tipo de comunicação.
Por fim, revela-se o contributo do estágio desenvolvido para a forma como o IPB poderá encarar a tradução no futuro e no âmbito de uma possível profissionalização dos seus serviços de comunicação institucional. Este contributo é revelado não só através da descrição dos trabalhos desenvolvidos para o GIAPE, mas também através de uma reflexão realizada da perspetiva da tradução institucional.This report is the result of an internship carried out within the Master of Translation at the Image and Student Support Office (GIAPE) from the Polytechnic Institute of Bragança (IPB). The main topic of this work is the role of translation within institutional communication, with a special focus on the IPB. Institutional communication is one the main concerns in higher education in Portugal, due to its need to attract students and several types of target audiences on the national and international levels. It is also important to establish a positive image in the market. Adopting an Integrated Marketing Communication strategy can help higher education institutions enhance their competitiveness and increase their market share at national and international levels. In order to implement that strategy, it is necessary to adapt contents and promotional materials to the target countries. Therefore, translation assumes a fundamental role in the overall strategy of higher education institutions. The completed internship tried to respond to these assumptions. This report concentrates on some of the marketing features adopted by the IPB and analyses how translation appears and interferes with institutional communication. Apart from that, a link between institutional communication and Translation Studies is established by referring to some rather recent theoretical approaches which underlie this kind of communication. Finally, the outcome of this internship is contemplated taking into account the way the IPB might consider translation in the future and also an eventual professionalization in its institutional communication services. The outcome concerns not only the tasks and projects developed at GIAPE, but also a reflection accomplished within the perspective of institutional translation.
