SI, ENZHE. "PRIDE AND PREJUDICE : A NEW VERSION OF ENTREPRENEURIAL INTENTION." Thesis, KTH, Entreprenörskap och Innovation, 2012. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:kth:diva-148951.
Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to present an empirical finding in the area of culture and entrepreneurial intention. The author developed an entrepreneurial culture measure regard to values of proudness and prejudice based on the data from the World Values Survey. Entrepreneurial intention as the dependent variable was draw from Global Entrepreneurship Monitor Consortium (GEM) ’s 2006 dataset. The data sample contains 27 countries. The result shows the newly developed culture measure is negatively correlated with entrepreneurial intention, which means countries have high level of prejudice towards certain social groups such as women or immigrants could lead to lower level of entrepreneurial intention. A series of robustness tests were conducted to test the fitness of the model. In general these tests do support the robustness of the finding. However as for the shortage of the small sample size, future research is still needed to confirm this finding.

Full textAbstract:
ITC/USA 2006 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Second Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 23-26, 2006 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, CaliforniaDataProbeCLASSIC is the new PC-based version of the classic tool for telemetry data analysis and visualization. DataProbe was the brainchild of the Unites States Navy and its contractors. At a time when computer terminals were expensive and graphical visualization of data was cutting edge, this software product was specifically designed to process time-series data in an efficient manner. The primary strength of DataProbe is the capability to read specific data items for specific time slices from very large data files rather than reading the entire data file into memory. The efficiency and versatility of the product was quickly noted, and it gained widespread use within the testing community. This paper presents a brief history of the legacy product and discusses the features and strengths of new implementation.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the headbox is to convert a flow of fiber suspension to a jet, with a thickness between 4 and 20mm and a width between 3 -8meters, depending on the paper machine model. To adjust the beam thickness, the lip adjustment arrangement is used. This master thesis was written to develop the headbox and the lip adjustment system, for paper machines with a width over 6 meters. In the beginning of the project much focus was layed on understanding the problem and develop the product and customer requirements of the Headbox. In order to utilize the entire idea space a number of idea generation methods were used. The evaluation of concepts were conducted with the method Analytic hierarchy process (AHP), which is a method for clarifying the decision pattern. From the evaluation of the concept, two concepts were chosen. A modification of the existing headbox and a new concept, which adjusts the slice opening with a number of elastic pockets and a wedge. To further evaluate the modified headbox concepts the Finite Element Method was used. During the simulations the elastic deformation was compared between the current and the modified solution. The second concept was developed by describing the new design and motivated the chosen material and structures. Overall it can be said that the modification of the current headbox solves the main problem and maintains the current quality on the paper. The new and innovative solution enables a more exact adjustment of the lip opening and allows a larger potential of modularization.Syftet med inloppslådan är att den ska transformera ett flöde av fibersuspension till en stråle som är mellan 4 och 20 mm tjock och 3-8 m bred, beroende på pappersmaskinsmodell. För att justera strålens tjocklek används läppjusteringsanordningen. Målet med detta arbete var att utveckla inloppslådan och dess läppöppningsarrangemang så att den kan användas till en pappersmaskin som är breddare än 6 meter. Projektet inleddes med att skapa en förståelse för problemet samt att undersöka vilka produkt- och kundkrav det finns på inloppslådan. För att utnyttja hela iderymden användes ett antal idegenereringsmetoder. Utvärdering av koncepten genomfördes med hjälp av en metod som heter Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) som är en metod som används för att tydliggöra beslutsvägen. Utifrån utvärdering med AHP valdes två koncept ut. En modifierad lösning av det nuvarande läppöppningsarrangemangen och ett nytt koncept vilket justerar läppöppningen med hjälp av ett antal trycksatta fickor och en vinge. För att ytterligare utveckla den modifierade inloppslådan användes Finita Elementmetoden. Under simuleringen jämfördes elastisk deformation i den nuvarande och den modifierade lösningen. Det nya konceptet utvecklades genom att den nya konstruktionen beskrevs utifrån struktur, materialval och tillverkningsmetoder. Sammantaget kan det sägas att den modifierade inloppslådan löser problemställning och bibehåller den nuvarande kvalitén på pappret. Den innovativa och nya lösningen möjliggör en mer exakt justering av läppöppningen och ökar möjligheten att modularisera inloppslådan.

Full textAbstract:
Peer-to-peer(p2p) systems, compared to conventional client-server systems are getting the attention now a days. P2p systems demonstrate valuable bene ts such as resiliency, high scalability and efficiency, and robustness (good resistance against random node failures). Structured P2P systems use distributed hash tables (DHTs) to index and search content and resources in an overlay network. Kademlia is one of the DHT among many DHTs. With the advent of DHTs finding nodes in a p2p environment has gotten better. The special property of Kademlia is that it uses novel XOR metric approach to measure the distance among the point (peers/clients).
Most of Kademlia's advantages depend on the usage of novel XOR metric. In this thesis, we will concentrate on the discussion, analysis and evaluation of LIKIR (a secure P2P framework on top of Kademlia) and P2P applications that can be built on top of LIKIR. One of these applications is LIKIR chat (LiCha) which is a prototype chat program. It is already available and presents a good starting point to understand the architecture and potential strength of such systems. Our work also deals with understanding LiCha, adding new functionality in LiCha. Finally, investigating the possibility of P2P version control system, as well as describing the basic protocol primitives and implementation details of P2P version control system, which can be a extremely innovative application for P2P systems.

Full textAbstract:
The ant system is a new meta-heuristic for hard combinatorial optimization problems. It is a population-based approach that uses exploitation of positive feedback as well as greedy search. It was first proposed for tackling the well known Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP), but has been also successfully applied to problems such as quadratic assignment, job-shop scheduling, vehicle routing and graph coloring.In this paper we introduce a new rank based version of the ant system and present results of a computational study, where we compare the ant system with simulated annealing and a genetic algorithm on several TSP instances. It turns out that our rank based ant system can compete with the other methods in terms of average behavior, and shows even better worst case behavior.

Full textAbstract:
Hearing loss has a prevalence of 10.3% in New Zealand, with the Māori population being disproportionately affected compared to the non-Māori population. Hearing loss is an impairment that is under-recognised, under-reported and under-treated. This can be explained by the many existing barriers – the shortage of audiological services, financial cost to an individual seeking treatment, the stigma of both hearing loss and hearing aids, and healthcare seeking rates, particularly among the Māori population. This study aimed to develop a Māori language adaptive digit triplet test that could be offered remotely via the telephone and Internet as a hearing-screening test.
Three sets of recordings were made of digit triplets spoken in te reo Māori by a female speaker. Two of these sets were selected for normalisation in speech noise. Normal-hearing participants (8 listeners) with hearing thresholds ≤20 dB HL were tested to establish the intelligibility of the individual recorded digits at various signal-to-noise ratios (-13, -10.5, -8 and -5.5 dB). Psychometric functions were fitted to the intelligibility data, and the digits in each position of the triplet that had the steepest slope were selected as the final test stimuli. The level of each selected digit was then adjusted to achieve equal intelligibility as measured at the midpoints of the psychometric functions. These digits were then assembled into eight equivalent lists of similar difficulty, ready for pilot testing.
Due to low participant numbers, the pilot testing phase was not completed. Further development of this test continues as the focus of a follow-on study.

Full textAbstract:
The understanding of the origin and evolution of the Milky Way is one of the primary goals of the Gaia mission (ESA, launch autumn 2013). In order to study and analyse fully the Gaia data it will be useful to have a Galaxy model able to test various hypothesis and scenarios of galaxy formation and evolution. Kinematic and star count data, together with the physical parameters of the stars - ages and metallicities-, will allow to characterize our galaxy's populations and, from that, the overall Galactic gravitational potential. One of the promising procedures to reach such goal is to optimize the present Population Synthesis models (Robin et al. (2003)) by fitting, through robust statistical techniques, the large and small scale structure and kinematics parameters that best will reproduce Gaia data. This PhD thesis was focused on the optimization of the structure parameters of the Milky Way Galactic disc. We improved the Besançon Galaxy Model and then by comparing the simulations to real data studied the process of Galaxy evolution.
The Besançon Galaxy Model is a stellar population synthesis model, built over the last two decades in Besançon (Robin and Crézé(1986); Robin et al. (2003)). Until now the star production process in that model was based on the drawing from the so called Hess diagrams. Each Galaxy population had one such a diagram, which was calculated once given a particular Initial Mass Function (IMF), Star Formation Rate (SFR), evolutionary tracks and age-metallicity relation and since then remained fixed in the model. As that feature was not enabling to test any other scenario of Galaxy evolution, because none of the evolutionary parameters could be modified, it was one of the biggest weaknesses of the model. It has served us as a motivation to dedicate this PhD project to the construction of a new version of the model, which would be able to handle variations of the SFR, IMF, evolutionary tracks, atmosphere models among others. When the evolutionary parameters are changed one must repeat the process of accomplishing the dynamical self-consistency of the model as described in Bienayme et al. (1987). For that
we have recalculated the Galactic gravitational potential for all new evolutionary scenarios, which have been tested. The second very important improvement of the model, which is delivered in this thesis, is the implementation of the stellar binarity. That is, the new version of Besançon Galaxy Model presented here is not any more a single star generator, but it considers binary systems maintaining constraints on the local mass density. This is an important change since binaries can account for about 50 % of the total stellar content of the Milky Way.
Once the tool was developed we tested several possible combinations of IMF and SFR in the Solar Neighborhood and identified those which best reproduce the Local Luminosity Function and Tycho-2 data. We have accomplished an unprecedented task using the new version of the model, namely we have performed the whole sky comparisons for a magnitude limited sample in order to study the bright stars. The Tycho-2 catalogue turned out to be an ideal sample for that task due to its two important advantages, the homogeneity and completeness until VT ~ 11 mag.
Different techniques and strategies were designed and applied when comparing the simulated and the real data. We have looked at small and specific Galactic directions and also performed general comparisons with a global sky coverage. In order to increase the efficiency of numerous simulations and comparisons, a processing pipeline based on C, Java and scripting programming languages has been developed and applied. It is a fully automated, portable and robust tool, allowing to split the work across several computational units.La misión Gaia (ESA, 2013) revolucionará el conocimiento sobre el origen y la evolución de nuestra Galaxia. Una óptima explotación científica de sus datos requiere disponer de modelos que permitan contrastar hipótesis y escenarios sobre estos procesos de formación. En esta tesis hemos optimizado el modelo de síntesis de poblaciones estelares de Besançon, ampliamente utilizado por la comunidad internacional, centrándonos en la componente del disco delgado. Hemos diseñado, desarrollado, implementado y testeado una nueva estructura de generación de las estrellas que permite encontrar la mejor combinación de función inicial de masa (IMF) y ritmo de formación estelar (SFR) que ajusta a las observaciones. El código permite imponer la autoconsistencia dinámica, recalculando el potencial galáctico para cada nuevo escenario de evolución. También, por primera vez, se generan sistemas binarios bajo esta consistencia dinámica, marcada por la función de luminosidad observada en el entorno solar. Esta, junto con el catálogo Tycho, han sido los dos ingredientes observacionales clave para el ajuste entre modelo y observación. También, por primera vez, hemos conseguido un ajuste aceptable a los recuentos estelares de todo el cielo hasta V=11. Se han evaluado con rigor los efectos en los recuentos estelares derivados del uso de los modelos de atmosfera, de evolución estelar y de extinción interestelar así como de parámetros tan críticos como la masa dinámica del sistema galáctico. El ajuste de estos ingredientes usando el catálogo Tycho nos ha permitido confirmar, de una vez por todas, que la SFR en el disco galáctico no ha sido constante sino decreciente desde los inicios de la formación de esta estructura. En conclusión, esta tesis proporciona un nuevo código, optimizado y flexible en el uso de los ingredientes básicos, en el que se ha realizado una rigurosa evaluación y actualización de los ingredientes que lo componen.

Une partition d’un nombre entier positif n est une suite décroissante des entiers positifs dont la somme est égal à n. Les entiers qui y apparaissent sont appelés les parties de la partition. Ma thèse est centrée sur l’étude des partitions des nombres entiers et les identités qui les relient. Plus précisément, il s’agit de montrer que le nombre de partitions ayant une propriété A est égal au nombre de partitions ayant une autre propriété B. Ce type d’identité joue un rôle important en théorie des nombres, en combinatoire, en théorie de représentations et en physique statistique. Une de ces identités est la suivante: Théorème. (La première identité de Rogers-Ramanujan) Le nombre de partitions d’un nombre naturel n dont les parties sont congruentes à 1 ou 4 modulo 5 est égal au nombre de partitions de n dont les parties ne sont ni égales ni consécutives. Dans ce travail, on étudie les identités entre les partitions en utilisant la relation entre les combinatoires des partitions et les combinatoires de l’algèbre graduée associée à un objet important de la géométrie algèbrique: l’espace des arcs. Étant donnés un corps k de caractéristique zéro et des polynômes f1,…,fm de k[x1,…, xn], l’espace des arcs associé correspond à l’idéal I de S:=k[x1j,…, xnj|j>-1], engendré par les coefficients de certains développements associés aux polynômes ci-dessus et aux variables xij. Si on prend xi,0 = 0 pour i=1,…,n, la série de Hilbert-Poincaré de l’algèbre graduée S\I est étroitement liée aux partitions des entiers satisfaisants des conditions qui dépendent de l’idéal I. Dans le cas où f(x) = x^r de k[x], l’idéal I de k[x1, x2, … ] est un idéal différentiel pour la dérivation D(xi) = xi+1, dans le sens que DI est inclus dans I. En effet, dans ce cas I est engendré par x1^r et tous ses dérivés itérées. nous montrons que pour r = 2 le calcul de la base de Gröbner de l’ideal I par rapport à l’ordre lexicographique pondéré est lié à une identité faisant intervenir les partitions qui apparaissent dans la première identité de Rogers-Ramanujan. Nous prouvons ensuite qu’une base de Gröbner de cet idéal n’est pas différentiellement finie, au contraire du cas de l’ordre lexicographique inverse pondéré. Nous donnons une preuve de ce point de vue des identités de Gordon qui forment une famille importante d’identités reliant les partitions. En utilisant des idéaux différentiels et des méthodes venant de l’espace des arcs, nous énonçons une conjecture qui pourrait ajouter un nouveau membre aux identités de Gordon. Nous l’avons déjà démontré pour un cas particulier. À la fin, nous donnons une preuve simple et directe d’un théorème de Nguyen Duc Tam sur la base de Gröbner de l’idéal différentiel [x1y1]; Nous obtenons ensuite des identités entres les partitions avec 2 couleursA partition of a positive integer n is a decreasing sequence of positive integers such that their sum is equal to n. The integers which appear in this sequence are called the parts of this partition. My thesis studies the partitions of integers and the identities between them. A partition identity is an equality between the number of partitions of an integer n satisfying a certain condition A and the number of partitions of n satisfying another condition B. They play an important role in many areas: number theory, combinatorics, Lie theory, particle physics and statistical mechanics. One of these identities is as follows: Theorem. (The first Rogers-Ramanujan identity) The number of partitions of a positive integer n with no equal or consecutive parts is equal to the number of partitions of n into parts 1 or 4(mod.5). In this work, we study partition identities using the relation between the combinatorics of partitions and the combinatorics of graded algebras associated to an important object of algebraic geometry: arc spaces. Given a field k of characteristic zero and polynomials f1,…,fm in k[x1,…, xn], the associated arc space is the space corresponds to the ideal I of S:=k[x1j,…, xnj|j>-1], generated by the coefficients of some developments associated to the above polynomials and the variables xij. For focussed arcs, which is when we take xi0 = 0 for i=1,…,n, the Hilbert-Poincaré series of the graded algebra S\I is closely related to partitions of integers satisfying conditions depending on I. In the case where f(x) = x^r in k[x], the ideal I of k[x1, x2,… ] is a differential ideal for the derivation D(xi) = xi+1, in the sens that DI is included in I. In fact it is generated by x1^r and all its iterated derivatives. We show that when r = 2 the computation of a Gröbner basis of I with respect to the weighted lexicographical monomial order is related with an identity involving the partitions that appear in the first Rogers-Ramanujan identity. We then prove that a Gröbner basis of this ideal is not differentially finite in contrary with the case of the weighted reverse lexicographical order. We give a prove from this point of view of Gordon’s identities which is a family of important partitions identities. Using differential ideals we state a conjecture which could add a new member to Gordon’s identities. we prove then this conjecture for a special case. At the end, we give a simple and direct proof of a theorem of Nguyen Duc Tam about the Gröbner basis of the differential ideal [x1y1]; we then obtain identities involving partitions with 2 colors

Full textAbstract:
The thesis introduces a new technique that is an alternative method instead of applying deltas to literal file sequentially to retrieve a version from a repository. To my best knowledgethis is the first investigation about delta combination for copy/insert instruction type with many experimental results and conclusions. The thesis proves that the delta combination eliminates unnecessary I/O process for intermediate versions when delta application is considered, therefore reduces I/O time. Deltas are applied to literal sequentially to generate the required version in the classical way. Replace algorithm combines delta files which would be applied in delta application as combined delta, and applies it to literal to generate the required one. Apply runs in O (size (D)) time where D is the destination file and size (D) is its size. To retrieve nth version in a chain where 1st version is literal, it requires n-1 time apply. Replace algorithm runs in O (i + c * log2 n) time where i is the total length of all inserts, c is the total length of all copies in destination delta, and n is the number of instructions in source delta. To retrieve the same nth version, it requires n-2 time replace and one apply.

Full textAbstract:
Removal of xylene (a toxic compound) from aqueous solution by modified multi wall carbon nano tubes
(MWCNT) via silica as sheeted carbon nanotube (SCNT) was evaluated. The physicochemical properties of
MWCNT such as structure and availability surface were improved due to convert tubes into sheets that
cause significantly increase in xylene adsorption. The equilibrium amount (qe (mg/g)) in nano material's
dose of 1g/l, xylene concentration of 10mg/l, contact time of 10min, and pH 7, for SCNT (qe 9.8 mg/g) was
higher than single wall carbon nano tubes (SWCNT) (qe 9.2 mg/g) and MWCNT (qe 8.9 mg/g). It is concluded
that sheeted carbon nanotube due to their large surface area improve performance of xylene adsorption.
Also carbon nano tube (CNT) recycling by heating, showed better adsorption performance for recycled
SCNT. A comparison study on xylene adsorption revealed that sheeted carbon nanotube has better xylene
adsorption performance as compared to CNT, carbon and silica adsorbents. This suggests that the SCNT is
an efficient adsorbent for xylene removal in environmental pollutions cleanup.

Research on health related Quality of Life (QoL) is valuable in developing health policy, assessing medical treatment outcomes and social sciences. Different QoL measurement instruments reflect different facets, and some QoL assessment tools are culturally insensitive. This study examines the existing WHOQOL-BREF (World Health Organisation Quality of Life) 26-item instrument for its suitability for use in New Zealand studies. It focuses on seeking facets of QoL of particular importance to New Zealand culture upon which New Zealand national items may be constructed and included when using the WHOQOL-BREF in studies in New Zealand. In order to achieve this goal, the project involved four sub-studies: verifying the existing WHOQOL response scale descriptors; conducting focus groups to elicit new areas or facets of QoL peculiar and particular to New Zealanders; examining the stability of the WHOQOL-BREF importance scale test-retest reliability; and conducting a national survey to assess what facets of QoL are most important to New Zealanders upon which national items may be developed and the national importance survey. The verification of response scale showed good correspondence with the standard English WHOQOL version. A total of 46 candidate importance items were generated from 12 focus groups’ discussions. Test/retest reliability revealed that the existing WHOQOL-Importance questionnaire items were more stable over a three week period, better than several of the new candidate importance items. Two thousand questionnaires asking what is important to New Zealand were sent out to the NZ general population and 585 returned. Results revealed that what is important varies across age, gender and health states. Twenty-four national items were developed from the national importance data. The study confirmed that what is considered as important facets of QoL varies within New Zealand and that there are facets that are important to New Zealanders not in the existing WHOQOL-BREF.

The objective of this creative project was the exploration of the new genre of Design Cinema, specifically to use typography and motion graphics to tell a story. Design Cinema is best defined as a hybrid form of moving image that falls between motion graphics and filmmaking. The secondary objective was to design and create three significant pieces of work in Design Cinema, which focuses on utilizing typography and graphics in an abstracted story-based environment.The stories illustrated come from the book of Psalms in the New International Version translation of the Bible. These are some of the oldest texts in the world. This body of work, completed in high-definition video, required a process of pre-production (treatment, storyboarding, and planning), production (shooting, lighting, and directing), and post-production (capturing, editing, compositing, and design).

The aim of the study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS), using Item Response Theory (IRT) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). The participants were 790 Peruvians, selected through a convenience sampling, where the majority were women. The CFA models indicated that the one-dimensional structure better represents the data, is reliable and invariant between men and women. Likewise, IRT findings indicate that CAS is more informative for high levels of COVID-19 anxiety. The CAS in Spanish has adequate psychometric properties to be used as a short measure of COVID-19 anxiety.

Full textAbstract:
In this comparative study, relativizers have been examined in two versions of the Bible: the King James Bible Version from 1611 and the New King James Bible Version from 1990. The hypothesis of this investigation was that, as the English language has undergone noticeable changes from the year 1611, the changes might also concern the usage of relativizers. Thus, the aim was to analyse how the use of relativizers has changed and try to find out reasons for these changes. To examine this, The Gospel According to Luke in both Bible versions was studied, because it is the longest of the 27 books of the New Testament. During this study, all the relativizers were sought out and counted. The results showed that in particular, there were remarkable discrepancies concerning the frequency of the relativizers who, which and that. In the King James Bible Version the relativizers which and that have a high frequency of occurrences, whereas the relativizer who does not appear as frequently. In the light of several examples, the usage of the relativizers was discussed and it has been found that the discrepancies depend on different factors. The most obvious difference in the usage of relativizers is that the relativizer which has both human and non-human antecedents in the King James Bible Version, whereas there is a clear distinction in the usage of who and which in the New King James Bible.

Il nuovo software permettera’ una migliore applicazione web, con tempi di risposta piu’ rapidi, aggiornamento delle informazioni automatico, utilizzo totale del database di GEMS e le capacita’ di filtri, insieme ad applicazioni per telefoni cellulari per il supporto delle attivita’ di reperibilita’.
La nuova versione di GEMS avra’ una nuova Graphical User Interface (GUI) che utilizza tecnologie moderne.
Per un ambiente di operazioni come e’ quello di EUMETSAT, dove l’affidabilita’ delle tecnologie e la longevita’ dell’approccio scelto sono di vitale importanza, non tutti gli attuali strumenti a disposizione sono adatti e hanno bisogno di essere migliorati. Allo stesso tempo, un’ interfaccia moderna, in termini di visual design, interattivita’ e funzionalita’, e’ importante per la nuova GEMS MMI.

Full textAbstract:
La mesure des niveaux de rayonnement est une exigence essentielle dans le LHC et ses lignes d'injection afin de quantifier les effets des radiations sur l'électronique et de fournir une connaissance détaillée du champ de rayonnement. Le système de surveillance des rayonnements pour l'électronique au CERN, le "RadMon '', a été installé dans les zones critiques où l'équipement est ou sera placé. Les problèmes rencontrés au cours des dernières années d'utilisation du Radmon, et la nécessité d'améliorer la précision et la résolution des mesures a conduit au lancement d'une nouvelle conception du moniteur.Ce travail décrit l'architecture du nouveau RadMon (V6), sa fiabilité dans les environnements radiatifs et de la stratégie adoptée pour choisir et qualifier les capteurs utilisés pour surveiller le champ de rayonnement mixte des accélérateurs du LHC. Les directives du CERN ont été adoptées pour qualifier les composants RadMon sous rayonnement afin de développer une nouvelle architecture à la fois plus tolérante au rayonnement et plus polyvalente que celui de la version précédente. Dans ce contexte, les défis que les tests de rayonnement imposent pour mesurer les Single Event Upsets (SEUs) sur un composant complexe à signaux mixtes tels que le convertisseur analogique-numérique, ont conduit au développement d'une technique de test innovant, qui sera décrit dans cette thèse.L'environnement radiatif complexe du LHC impose un processus de qualification particulier qui sera décrit et discuté dans ce travail pour les RadFets (capteur dose ionisante) et les mémoires SRAM (capteur de fluence High Energy Hadrons).L'utilisation du RadFet dans un champ mixte de rayonnement a été étudié et analysé au moyen de sources de 60Co et de faisceaux de protons de différentes énergies.Les RadFets ont été ré-étalonné en étudiant le débit de dose, les sources de particules, la température, la guérison thermique en fonction de l'épaisseur d'oxyde. En outre, grâce à la nouvelle architecture de la RadMon, de nouvelles configurations de polarisation ont été testées pour améliorer la résolution.Deux types de mémoires SRAM avec des nœuds technologiques de 400 et 90 nm ont été testés et calibrés en suivant une méthode de qualification stricte qui comprend des tests protons,dans la plage de 30 à 400 MeV et neutrons, depuis les énergies thermiques jusqu'à des énergies intermédiaires (~ 14 MeV). La mémoire 90 nm améliore la précision et la résolution de la mesure de la fluence hadronique. En outre, l'utilisation simultanée des deux types de mémoires améliore la précision de la détection des neutrons thermiques par rapport à la version précédente, grâce à d'une procédure qui sera détaillée dans ce travail.Les efforts en vue de l'amélioration de la résolution des mesures de TID pour le nouveau RadMon conduisent à la recherche et à l'étude d'un nouveau type de dosimètre : le dosimètre a Grille Flottante (FGDOS). Le capteur intégrant une électronique complexe, une qualification complète sous rayonnement était nécessaire. Des tests en champ mixte, des tests au 60Co et des tests au protons ont été réalisés afin d'évaluer les performances et les problèmes potentiels du capteur. Dans ce contexte, un modèle analytique du capteur a été conçu pour démontrer que la structure à Grille Flottante pouvait être utilisée comme instrument de mesure du ‘charge yield' à température ambiante et sous des champs électriques faibles.La caractérisation de la tolérance au rayonnement du matériel, le processus de qualification et les étalonnages des capteurs ont considérablement amélioré la fiabilité globale et la qualité des mesures sur la nouvelle version du RadMon. Ces améliorations font du RadMon un instrument de référence pour la surveillance des rayonnements des champs mixtes complexes, tels que ceux rencontrés dans le LHC et sa chaîne d'injecteurs, mais aussi pour d'autres centres de recherche en physique des particules, comme JLAB aux États-Unis, J-PARC au JaponThe measurement of the radiation levels is an essential requirement in the LHC and its injection lines in order to quantify radiation effects on electronics and provide a detailed knowledge of the radiation field. The radiation monitoring system for the electronics at CERN, the “RadMon'', was installed in critical areas where equipment is or will be placed. Issues experienced in the last years of Radmon operation, the obsolescence of a few fundamental components of the electronic board and the necessity to improve both the accuracy and the resolution of measurements led to the launch of a new design of the monitor.This work describes the architecture of the new RadMon (V6), its reliability in radiation environments and the strategy adopted to choose and qualify the sensors, used for monitoring the mixed radiation field of the LHC accelerators. The CERN guidelines were adopted to qualify the RadMon components under radiation in order to develop a new architecture both more tolerant to radiation and more versatile than that of the previous version. In this context, the challenges that radiation tests impose for measuring Single Event Effects (SEUs) on a complex mixed-signal component such as the Analog to Digital converter, led to the development of an innovative test technique, which will be described in this thesis.The reliability of the RadMon measurements strongly depends on the calibration of its sensors. The complex radiation environment of the LHC imposes a peculiar qualification process which will be described and discussed in this work for the RadFets (Total Ionizing Dose sensor) and the SRAM memories (High Energy Hadrons fluence sensor).The use of the RadFet in a mixed field radiation environment has been studied and analyzed by means of 60Co sources as well as proton beams at different energies.The RadFets have been re-calibrated by studying the dose rate, particle sources, temperature, annealing and fading effects as a function of the oxide thickness. Furthermore, thanks to the new architecture of the RadMon, new biasing configurations have been tested to improve the resolution.Two types of SRAM memories with technology nodes of 400 and 90nm have been tested and calibrated by following a strict qualification methodology which includes tests with protons in the range 30-400 MeV, and with neutrons from thermal energies up to intermediate energies (~14 MeV). The 90nm memory improves the accuracy and resolution of the hadron fluence measurement. Moreover, the simultaneous use of both types of memories permits an improvement on the accuracy of the thermal neutron detection with respect to the previous version, as a result of a procedure which will be detailed in this work.The efforts towards the improvement of the TID measurements resolution for the new RadMon lead to the research and study of a new type of dosimeter sensor: the Floating Gate dosimeter (FGDOS). The sensor embeds complex circuitry, thus a full radiation qualification was necessary. Mixed field radiation tests, 60Co and protons tests have been carried out in order to evaluate the performance and the possible issues of the sensor. In this context, an analytical model of the sensor was developed to prove that the floating gate structure can be used as charge yield measurement instrument at room temperature and at low electric fields.The radiation tolerance characterization of the hardware, the qualification and calibration process of the sensors have significantly improved the overall reliability and quality of the measurements of the new RadMon. These improvements turned it into a reference instrument for radiation monitoring of complex mixed fields, such as the one encountered in the LHC, its injectors chain, and other particle physics research centers, such as JLAB in US, J-PARC in Japan

Full textAbstract:
Multipath TCP är en viktig ändring förr TCP, där målet är att låsa upp fördelarna med multipath in ett nätverk genom att dela upp dataöverföring över subflöden, och samtidigt försöka bibehålla bakåtkompabilitet med nuvarande system och infrastruktur. Detta examensarbete är en omfattande säkerhetsutvärdering av Multipath TCP med en djupgående analys av dess främsta sårbarheter, speciellt sårbarheten ADD ADDR som påverkar version 0 av Multipath TCP. Efter en inledande fas bestående av en undersökning och testning av sårbarheten så bestod arbetet främst av utvecklingen av en rad fixar för sårbarheten ADD ADDR. Dessa fixar gjordes för Linuxkärnans implementation av Multipath TCP, i ett första steg mot version 1 av protokollet. Denna rapport innehåller en utvärdering baserad på experiment för varje steg i utvecklingsfasen, samt en slutgiltig prestandaanalys för den modifierade implementationen av Multipath TCP. I processen producerades dels ett förbättringsförslag till det officiella RFC-dokumentet som innehåller specifikationen för Multipath TCP, och även mindre kodändningar till närliggande open-source projekt, exempelvis packet-analyseraren Wireshark. Examensarbetet innehöll mycket interaktion med viktiga open-source grupper, framförallt gruppen för Linuxkärnan. Multipath TCP är ett fortlöpande projekt som är under ständig förändring, både kring protokollet och dess implementation. Detta arbete är ett steg i den övergripande distributionsprocessen, med fokus på säkerhet.Multipath TCP is a major extension for TCP that aims at unlocking multipath benefits in the network by splitting data transferring across multiple subflows, keeping into consideration funda-mental compatibility goals in order to achieve a seamless deployment of the new protocol on current systems and infrastructures. This thesis work is an extensive security evaluation of Multipath TCP, with an in-depth analysis of its major vulnerabilities: in particular, the ADD ADDR vulnerability affecting Multipath TCP version 0 is addressed in this document. After a preliminary part that involves testing and studying the vulnerability itself, the core value of this thesis work concerns the development of a series of patches for the Linux Kernel implementation of Multipath TCP aimed at fixing the ADD ADDR vulnerability and marking the first step towards the new version of the protocol, Multipath TCP version 1. The paper contains an experimental evaluation of the various steps of the development phase, including a final performance analysis for the modified implemen-tation of Multipath TCP. In the process, contributions have been produced for the official RFC documentation containing the specifications for Multipath TCP, together with other minor code contributions for related open-source projects, like the famous packet analyzer Wireshark. The entire thesis work required strong interaction with important open-source communities, especially the Linux Kernel one. Multipath TCP is an ongoing project subjected to constant changes regard-ing the protocol and its implementations: this work is just a single step of the overall deployment process, with a main focus on security.

Full textAbstract:
Les capacités cognitives des individus monolingues et des individus bilingues peuvent différer sur diverses tâches cognitives impliquant la mémoire, les fonctions exécutives et le langage. Comme la littérature scientifique est divisée sur ce sujet, il est de plus en plus important de valider les nouveaux outils de dépistage cognitif auprès de l’ensemble de ces groupes linguistiques divers. Dans le cas contraire, les évaluations cognitives pourraient faire l’objet d’une mauvaise interprétation pouvant entraîner des diagnostics erronés. Le Dépistage Cognitif de Québec (DCQ, www.dcqtest.org) est un nouvel outil cognitif récemment développé à la Clinique Interdisciplinaire de Mémoire de Québec (CIME) et conçu spécifiquement pour dépister les démences atypiques. La présente étude avait comme objectif de comparer des personnes âgées et en bonne santé anglophones monolingues et bilingues sur ce nouveau test. Le but était de comparer la performance de ces deux groupes sur leurs scores totaux au DCQ et sur les cinq index de l’outil : mémoire, fonctions visuospatiales, exécutives, langage et comportement. Les résultats ont montré un avantage statistiquement significatif pour les participants bilingues sur l’index du langage, contribuant à un avantage significatif pour ce groupe sur leurs scores totaux au DCQ. Bien que ces différences n’étaient plus significatives après une correction de Bonferroni, cette étude souligne l’importance d’identifier et de caractériser la diversité linguistique avant d’utiliser de nouveaux outils de dépistage en milieu clinique. Les avantages cognitifs potentiels chez les bilingues devraient être considérés lors de l’interprétation des résultats et explicitement discutés dans les rapports neuropsychologiques, même lorsque les études portent sur des adultes en bonne santé. Des études similaires avec des groupes de patients variés et d’autres types d’outils de dépistage cognitif devraient être menées, en particulier pour examiner plus en détail les différences entre les personnes monolingues et bilingues sur les tâches linguistiques.Cognitive abilities between monolingual and bilingual individuals may differ on various cognitive tasks involving memory, executive functions and language. As the literature is divided on this topic, it is increasingly important to validate new cognitive screening tools among linguistically diverse groups to account for possible monolingual or bilingual advantages. Otherwise, assessments could be subject to misinterpretation, leading to inaccurate diagnoses. The English version of the Dépistage Cognitif de Québec (DCQ, www.dcqtest.org) recently developed at the Clinique Interdisciplinaire de Mémoire de Québec (CIME), is one of these new cognitive tools designed specifically for better recognition of atypical dementia. The current study aimed to compare healthy older monolingual and bilingual anglophones on this new test to assess any possible differences that could lie between groups on the total DCQ scores and each of the five DCQ indexes: Memory, Visuospatial, Executive, Language and Behavioural. The results showed a statistically significant advantage for the bilingual participants on the Language Index, which contributed to the significant bilingual advantage on the DCQ total scores. Even though these results were no longer significant after a Bonferroni correction, and even if no significant differences between groups were found on any of the other indexes, this study highlights the importance of identifying and characterizing linguistic diversity before using new screening tools in clinical settings. Potential cognitive advantages in bilingual participants, even in healthy older adults, should be considered when interpreting test data and explicitly discussed in neuropsychological reports. Similar studies with patient groups and with other types of cognitive screening tools should be conducted, especially to further examine the differences between groups on language-related tasks.

ABSTRACT
Thou, Thee, Thy, Thine, Ye, You, Your, Yours: Second Person Pronouns in Two Bible Translations
In the King James Version from 1611 there are eight different forms of personal pronouns for second person: the singular forms thou, thee, thy, thine and the corresponding plural forms ye, you, your and yours. Because of linguistic changes in the English language the number of the second person pronouns has declined during the centuries. Accordingly, in the New King James Version from 1990 these eight earlier pronouns are represented by only three pronouns: you, your, yours. Therefore, the hypothesis of this study was that the disappearance of so many different pronoun forms might have caused some ambiguity. To examine this, The Gospel of Luke of both Bible versions was studied and all the second person pronouns were first classified according to their case and number (nominative/accusative/dative/genitive, singular/plural) and thereafter counted. The verses of the Gospel of Luke, where both one or several persons are addressed, were read and carefully studied. Furthermore, when necessary, interesting or relevant, comparisons were also made to two other translations: Gustav V´s Bible from 1917 and the Swedish Bible Version from 2000. The results of this study show that there are differences in the numbers of the examined pronouns. These discrepancies depend on several different factors which have been discussed. In addition, the investigation gives evidence of the fact that the references of pronouns are not always completely clear: several verses, which might be perceived erroneously, were found in the modern English Bible translation.

Full textAbstract:
Monitoring network traffic to identify applications or services is vital for internet service providers, network engineers and law enforcement agencies. The identification of applications enables network traffic to be prioritized, sophisticated plans for network infrastructure to be developed and facilitates the work of law enforcement agencies. Voice over IP (VoIP) and malware services are important to be classified because of the reliance by both legitimate users and cybercriminals respectively on these services. This dissertation addresses the detection of these services, represented by Skype application voice calls traffic and Zeus application command and control traffic. Three major approaches have been used to fulfil the classification goal, which are port-based, deep packet inspection and the use of the statistical features in conjunction with the machine learning algorithms. The latter approach addressed many of the limitations of the first two. However, the existing approach still contains many limitations. The detection of new versions by analysing and building the classifier on an old version was not deeply discussed for the machine learning approach. However, not all the statistical values are similar for different versions for Skype voice calls and Zeus command and control traffic. This is because Skype uses different codecs for different versions and Zeus uses different malware builders for different versions. While some approaches, aside from the machine learning approach, tackled the detection of the different versions, none of them maintain all the characteristics supported by the machine learning approach in terms of providing online classification capability and supporting various transport and application protocols, without the need to access different device’s traffic, access packet’s content or monitor different phase’s traffic. This research study aims to tackle this gap by proposing a novel framework called Classification of Network Information Flow Analysis (CONIFA). CONIFA addresses the detection of different untrained versions for a targeted application (Skype voice calls and Zeus command and control traffic) with a low detection time by analysing and building the classifier on a different single version in a systematic and well-defined approach, providing online classification capability and supporting various transport and application protocols, without the need to access different device’s traffic, access packet’s content or monitor different phase’s traffic. CONIFA is not limited to a specific application and could be extended to other types of applications. CONIFA utilizes the concepts of cost sensitive algorithms and different feature combinations for building the classifiers, unlike the machine learning approach that utilizes cost insensitive algorithms and a single feature combination. The outputs of the first phase are two classifiers, lenient and strict, that are used by the next phase to detect the untrained versions of a targeted application as well as to reduce the error rate. CONIFA results, for detecting the untrained version of Skype voice calls and Zeus C&C traffic, supported this approach in providing a better detection performance compared to the previous approach. While the previous approach was not able to reliably detect new versions of VoIP, CONIFA was able to consistently detect a previously unseen version. For the botnet detection, the previous approach had a good efficacy at the network level. However, CONIFA outperformed this approach in detecting a new version of a known piece of malware.Doctor of Philosophy

Full textAbstract:
The current paper examines the dissimilarities that have occurred in news framing by state-sponsored news outlets in their different language versions. The comparative framing analysis is conducted on the news coverage of the Russian intervention in Syria (2016) in RT and Radio Liberty in Russian and English languages. The certain discrepancies in framing of this event are found in both news outlets. The strongest distinction between Russian and English versions occurred in framing of responsibility and humanitarian crisis in Syria. The study attempts to explain the identified differences in a framework of public diplomacy and propaganda studies. The existing theories explain that political ideology and foreign policy orientation influences principles of state propaganda and state-sponsored international broadcasting. However, the current findings suggest that other influence factors may exist in the field – such as the local news discourse and the journalistic principles. This conclusion is preliminary, as there are not many studies with the comparable research design, which could support the current discussion. The studies of localized strategies of the international media (whether private networks or state-funded channels) can refine the current conclusions and bring a new perspective to global media studies.This thesis was supported by the Swedish Institute (Svenska Institutet)

Lo studio dello sviluppo delle attività motorie fondamentali (FMS) nei bambini sta acquisendo in questi anni grande importanza, poiché la padronanza di queste ultime sembra essere correlata positivamente sia con la condizione di benessere fisico, sia con il mantenimento di alti livelli di autostima; si ritiene inoltre che possano contribuire al mantenimento di uno stile di vita sano in età adulta. In questo elaborato di tesi viene preso in considerazione un test di riferimento per la valutazione delle FMS, il TMGD – 2. Lo scopo è quello di fornire una valutazione quantitativa delle performance delle FMS, sulla base degli standard proposti dal protocollo TGMD-2, mediante una versione strumentata del test, utilizzando delle Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU). Questi sensori consentono di superare il limite posto dalla soggettività nella valutazione dell’operatore e permettono di esprimere un giudizio in maniera rapida e automatica. Il TGMD-2 è stato somministrato, in versione strumentata, a 91 soggetti di età compresa tra i 6 e i 10 anni. Sono stati ideati degli algoritmi che, a partire dai segnali di accelerazione e velocità angolare acquisiti mediante le IMU, consentono di conferire una valutazione a ciascuno dei task impartito dal TGMD – 2. Gli algoritmi sono stati validati mediante il confronto fra i risultati ottenuti e i giudizi di un valutatore esperto del TGMD-2, mostrando un alto grado di affinità, in genere tra l’80% e il 90%.

La, Lima Christopher N. "Therapist-Guided, Internet-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Body Dysmorphic Disorder - English Version (BDD-NET)| A Feasibility Study." Thesis, Hofstra University, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10624263.
Full textAbstract:
Background: Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) is a debilitating mental illness that leads to significant functional impairment. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is an empirically supported treatment shown to reduce BDD and associated symptoms, but most people suffering from BDD do not have access to it. To address limited access to evidence-based treatments, internet-based CBT (ICBT) was created. It is a growing CBT platform that has demonstrated efficacy with a number of disorders, including BDD. ICBT for BDD (BDD-NET) has been developed to treat BDD, and has been tested in one pilot study and one randomized controlled trial (RCT) against an active comparison group, showing promising results. Currently, BDD-NET only exists in a Swedish platform and is only available to patients in Sweden. Objectives: The current study aimed to test an English-language version of BDD-NET, utilizing global inclusion, in order to begin to establish a more accessible BDD treatment option for English-speakers across national borders and geographic locations. It was hypothesized that subjects would improve in BDD and associated symptoms, be satisfied with treatment, and be willing and able to complete the BDD-NET core treatment modules. Treatment: BDD-NET contains core CBT strategies such as exposure with response prevention (EX/RP) and cognitive restructuring, and is conducted through the internet on a confidential platform. Patients complete psychoeducational readings, written work, and home practice of CBT strategies with therapist guidance through a confidential messaging system. Design: The current study is an uncontrolled clinical trial with within-subjects repeated measures design. Participants included 21 self-referred adults diagnosed with BDD. The primary outcome measure was the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale for BDD (BDD-YBOCS), administered at baseline, mid-treatment, and post-treatment. Secondary outcomes were depression, global functioning, client satisfaction with BDD-NET, treatment credibility, therapeutic alliance, and treatment engagement and completion. Outcomes were analyzed using a multivariate approach to repeated measures, as well as paired-sample t-tests. Proportions of patients completing core modules (1-5) of BDD-NET and discontinuing treatment early were calculated. Clinical assessments of treatment effects and feedback from participants were utilized to aid in development on the BDD-NET treatment protocol. Results: Participants deemed BDD-NET as acceptable and reported that they were able to utilize BDD-NET treatment resources. BDD-NET was associated with significant improvements in BDD-YBOCS scores (p<.001), with a large within-group effect size ( d = 1.71). Fifty-seven percent of participants who completed post-assessments were responders (≥ 30% reduction on the BDD-YBOCS), and 36% were in remission from BDD. Depression and global functioning improved from pre- to post-treatment, with large effect sizes. Conclusions: BDD-NET has great potential to largely increase access to evidence-based psychiatric treatment for English-speaking patients with BDD across national borders and from a variety of cultural backgrounds. BDD-NET may be particularly helpful in targeting patients with barriers to care. A randomized controlled trial of an English-language version of BDD-NET is warranted.

The print newspapers and magazines do not want to lose their readers which are more and more tended to search the information on the internet. It is one of the reasons why the print media – the print newspapers and magazines converges with the internet. The print media has to search and to find the new ways to reach the audience. The second reason of the print newspapers and magazines convergence with the internet is the hyper competition in the mass media market. The purpose of this paper is to understand how the periodic press – the print newspapers and the magazines in this case – converge with the internet. The practical background is to check how the process of the convergence is working on the one of the biggest and influential Lithuanian print newspaper “Lietuvos rytas” and on the one of the biggest and most influential print newspaper of the United States of America – „The New York Times“. The statistical data, public surveys in Lithuania and in the United States of America, content analysis, comparison of the documents, the books and the articles from the newspapers, scientific journals and other internet resources has proven, the most distinctive today‘s interaction between the traditional print media instruments and the internet – the majority of Lithuanian and world periodical press, such as the print newspapers and magazines, have their own internet...

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MTh (Old and New Testament))--University of Stellenbosch, 2006.The present study focuses on the difficulties surrounding the identification of an object and subject for the discipline of Old Testament theology. The goal thereof is to address these difficulties by establishing the legitimacy of an interdisciplinary engagement therewith. In order to achieve this goal the significance of the Greek translations of the Jewish scriptures, the Septuagint, for determining the object and subject of Old Testament theology is pursued. The problems surrounding the object of study in Old Testament theology are identified and discussed in terms of both canon and text. The advent of Canon criticism, with its focus on the nature, function and history of the biblical canon, as well as the study of the recent textual discoveries in the area surrounding the Dead Sea, have rendered previous consensus regarding the formation of the biblical canon(s) and the history of the biblical texts problematic. This necessitates a thorough reconsidering of the scope of the term “Old Testament”, and consequently, the basis on which the discipline of Old Testament theology is practiced. The rise to prominence of a so-called new or postmodern epistemological situation and the resulting influence of developments and shifts in literary studies on Biblical criticism, coupled with new challenges within the historical study of the biblical texts and a rediscovery of the importance of Wisdom literature forces upon the Old Testament theologian the responsibility to indicate and clarify the relationship between the Old Testament and divine revelation. Consequently, the nature of the Old Testament’s theology, and therefore, the subject of study in the discipline of Old Testament theology come under scrutiny. The focus of the study subsequently shifts to topics treated in the study of the Septuagint in order to indicate how these relate to the problems plaguing the discipline of Old Testament theology. Issues relating to the proper use of terminology in Septuagint-studies, theories of the origin of the Septuagint, and the techniques that were employed in translating the Semitic source texts of the Jewish scriptures into Greek, occupy the student in this regard. As a result, the legitimacy of employing insights from Septuagint-studies in delineating the object and subject of study in Old Testament theology is demonstrated. The final chapter identifies several overtures for furthering the study of the significance of the Septuagint for Old Testament theology in general. A number of methodological problems in the latter can be subsumed under the twin heading of the scope of the “Old Testament” and the nature of its theology. Chapter 36 of the Greek translation of the book of Job acts as a brief case study in order to demonstrate the suggestions that are made in this concluding chapter of the study.

Find full textAbstract:
A tutt’oggi, il genere fiabesco rimane oggetto di curiosità e studi, affascinando gli esperti per la sua incredibile funzione pedagogica e di formazione culturale dell’individuo. In particolare, Zipes (2006) e altri sostengono che le fiabe siano il primo mezzo per veicolare nelle menti dei bambini il concetto di società e di identità, i valori e gli stereotipi della cultura dominante occidentale. Proprio riguardo questi ultimi, a partire dal secolo scorso, si è aperto un dibattito sull’influenza delle rappresentazioni di genere nelle fiabe classiche: le donne ricoprono spesso un ruolo passivo, inferiore alle controparti maschili, e ciò ha condotto diverse generazioni di giovani ragazze a conformarsi a quest’immagine (von Franz, 1993). La Sirenetta di Hans Christian Andersen è un esempio di fiaba classica dove la maggior parte dei personaggi è femminile, ma completamente modellata dall’immaginario maschile, conforme alle norme patriarcali dell’epoca ma non alla donna reale. Allo stesso tempo, però, La Sirenetta parla specialmente alle donne: la protagonista è una ragazza con un grande sogno d’amore, disposta a tutto, persino a sacrificare il suo dono, per avverarlo. Partendo da questi presupposti e dal fatto che questa storia, nella realtà, è molto attuale e frequente, in questo elaborato analizzerò il testo originale di Andersen (1837), poi la trasposizione cinematografica di Disney (1989), così nota da aver scalzato l’originale, e infine la versione postmoderna femminista di Emma Donoghue (1997), meno conosciuta ma non meno importante. Considererò il contesto storico-culturale di ciascuna versione, commenterò le immagini di donne e uomini in esse, quindi i diversi valori trasmessi a seconda del periodo e della società e, soprattutto, studierò l’evoluzione del personaggio della sirenetta, che viene modificata, cresciuta, fortificata fino a raggiungere un’immagine più vicina alla vera eroina dei giorni nostri.

Full textAbstract:
Aerosol particles are ubiquitous throughout the atmosphere and play an important role in human health, climate, and the chemistry of the atmosphere. A significant mass fraction of these particles is composed of organic species, which remain poorly characterized due to the number and diversity of species present. This thesis describes the development and characterization of two versions of a new single particle mass spectrometer with a 3D ion trap for organic aerosol studies.
Version I combines CO₂ laser desorption and electron impact ionization in an ion trap. Mass spectra obtained for four species are comparable to NIST EI spectra. Tandem mass spectrometry studies are also demonstrated. The effects of vaporization energy, ionization delay time, and electron pulse width on the mass spectra and fragmentation patterns are examined. The detection limit of the instrument is found to be ~1x10⁸ molecules (350 nm diameter particle) for 2,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid.
Version II integrates CO₂ laser desorption and tunable VUV ionization in an ion trap and was used for a detailed study of oleyl alcohol, oleic acid and mixtures thereof. Both the degree of fragmentation in the mass spectra and the translational energy of the vaporized molecules are found to vary as a function of desorption energy in the pure particles and as a function of composition in the mixed particles. These changes can be described by the energy absorbed per particle during desorption. We show that these effects hinder the quantitative response of the instrument and have important implications for other two step laser desorption/ionization systems.
The final part of this thesis presents preliminary results from atmospherically relevant particles. Mass spectra of cigarette sidestream smoke, fulvic acid, meat cooking, and ammonium bisulfate aerosols are collected using both versions of the instrument. The two step desorption/ionization process only worked for two types of aerosols, while CO₂ only mass spectra were obtained for all four aerosol types. The suitability of CO₂ desorption strongly depended on particle composition, which will affect the applicability of the technique to atmospherically realistic aerosols. The results also suggest that CO₂ only laser desorption/ionization may be useful for field studies.

Full textAbstract:
År 2017 publicerades en artikel av svensk massmedia i samband med metoo- rörelsen. Artikeln rörde sexuella övergrepp av en känd profil med mycket makt inom svensk finkultur. Mannen hade nära samband med den välkända institutionen Svenska Akademien. Redan 1997 uppmärksammades anklagelserna gentemot mannen av kvällstidningen Expressen. Trots det hanterades inte anklagelserna förrän en ny artikel publicerades av Dagens Nyheter 21 år senare. Studien undersöker dels varför nyheten fick plats på medieagendan både 1997 samt 2017 samt om de två artiklarna vinklats. Studien undersöker sambandet mellan media och PR-utövare. Rapporteringen studeras genom teorierna om nyhetsvärderingens glasögon och tar utgångspunkt i marknadskommunikation. Studiens analysavsnitt utgörs först av en övergripande kvalitativ innehållsanalys, därefter följer en ytterligare mer djupgående kvalitativ innehållsanalys av Expressens och Dagens Nyheters artiklar. De första två analysmetoderna ämnar till att besvara varför händelsen fått plats på medieagendan, enligt nyhetsvärderingsteorier. Vidare används en tredje kvalitativinnehållsanalytisk metod som ämnar att på en mer tolkande nivå granska om och hur de tvåartiklarna vinklades i media. På så sätt besvaras studiens båda forskningsfrågor. De största skillnaderna mellan hur artiklarna framställs låg i vem som fick komma till tals samt hur stort utrymme och den grad av seriositet händelsen gavs då den publicerades. Artiklarna skildes även åt i fråga om värdeladdade ordval samt i hur journalisten valde att framställa texten. En stor skillnad var också i vilken tid händelsen uppmärksammades. Studien granskade en händelse där tiden utvisat att hur en nyhetsartikel framställs kan påverka allmänhetens bild av verkligheten samt allmänhetens inställning till en institution. Genom studien vill vi belysa att nyhetsmedia utgör en central roll i samhället och att de ansvarar för att delge en sanningsenlig och verklighetstrogen bild av omvärlden. Därför är det viktigt att uppmärksamma olika versioner av samma händelse som publicerats i media, vilket är vad studien ämnat att göra.As a part of the emersion of the so called metoo -movement in 2017, an article was published by the Swedish mass media. The article concerned allegations of sexual abuse against a highly esteemed and powerful profile within the Swedish cultural scene. The accused man had a close connection to the well known institution the Swedish Academy. The study is based on marketing communication and focuses on the relationship between news media and public relations-strategists. Claims of sexual abuse had previously been brought to attention by the evening newspaper Expressen in 1997. Even so, the accusations were not dealt with until the second article was published by Dagens Nyheter 21 years later. The study investigates partly why these events were selected to be published as news both in 1997 and in 2017.Furthermore, the study investigates whether the two articles were angled according to theories of newsworthiness. The first part of the study's analysis consists of an overall qualitative content analysis, then it continues with a further more in-depth qualitative content analysis of Expressen's and Dagens Nyheter's articles. The first two methods of analysis aim to answer the first research question, why the event took place on the media agenda, according to theories of newsworthiness. In order to answer the study’s second research question a third qualitative content analysis model is used. It aims to examine how the two articles were angled in the media at a more interpretative level. The study dealt with an event where time has shown that the same event could cause different outcomes and consequences for PR-strategists depending on what insight the public gain through news media and depending on how the news article was produced. We found that the main differences between the articles were; who got to speak and how much space and the degree of seriousness the event was given when it was published. We wish to shed light on the fact that the news media play a central role in informing society and that they are responsible for sharing a truthful and realistic image of the world. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to the possible lack of such truthful versions in the media. Two articles published by the media have been addressed in the study. The study is written in Swedish.

Lo scopo della presente tesi è quello di analizzare lo stato dell’arte della Pianificazione Energetica Territoriale tenendo presenti le varie tecnologie disponibili con particolare riferimento a quelle “low carbon”, che includono le rinnovabili. Vengono esaminati i ruoli dei vari enti europei per la Pianificazione Energetica e il Piano d'Azione per l'Energia Sostenibile (PAES).
Il primo esempio di “Smart Ancient Cities” e “Low Carbon”, tipico del al panorama italiano come esempio scelto dei borghi antichi, è il Comune di Magliano in Toscana che ha una Convenzione di Ricerca con l’INGV dove è stata attuata un’importante riqualificazione energetico-architettonica in merito alle varie filiere nelle quali operare. Sono stati analizzati i dati sperimentali reali provenienti dal Comune stesso, includendo la Centrale a Biomasse della Azienda di Luigi Vivarelli e tutte le sue più recenti evoluzioni.
Un altro esempio di sistemi “Smart Ancient Cities” e “Low Carbon” presentati nella tesi è lo studio realizzato nelle isole canarie, che grazie alle loro caratteristiche territoriali e alla posizione geografica sul mare, possono utilizzare al meglio le tecnologie previste dai bandi Europei Horizon 2020 “Smart Cities and Communities”.
I risultati scientifici Smart e Low-Carbon sia compilativi che sperimentali ottenuti includono considerazioni sia energetiche che economiche attraverso l’analisi di preventivi reali, per le installazioni dei sistemi energetici, di cui si fornisce una stima della produzione mensile e annuale, ipotizzando un periodo di ammortamento.Le strategie per la riduzione delle emissioni di gas serra, l’aumento delle FER e la diminuzione dei consumi, sono e saranno sempre più legate allo sviluppo di comuni e città intelligenti. Promuovere e sviluppare la sostenibilità, intraprendere opere di efficientamento energetico, agevolerà il passaggio alla nuova generazione tecnologica basata sulle FER, nel rispetto dell’ambiente.

Full textAbstract:
Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) é um índice que permite calcular probabilidade de sobrevida de pacientes traumatizados. Para seu cálculo são necessárias as informações: idade; tipo de trauma - penetrante ou contuso; valor do Revised Trauma Score (RTS); e pontuação do Injury Severity Score (ISS). Em 1997 foi realizada uma revisão do ISS com o intuito de melhorar sua acurácia na determinação da gravidade do trauma. Essa revisão resultou em mudança no cálculo desse índice e, consequentemente, em uma nova versão, o New Injury Severity Score (NISS). Resultados de estudos têm indicado que o NISS se iguala ou supera o ISS na previsão de mortalidade. Procurou-se neste estudo verificar se a substituição do ISS pelo NISS, na fórmula original do TRISS, melhora sua estimação de sobrevida. Trata-se de pesquisa retrospectiva realizada no Hospital das Clínicas da Faculdade de Medicina da Universidade de São Paulo. A população foi constituída por 533 pacientes traumatizados atendidos e internados no Pronto-Socorro deste hospital pelo período de um ano. Foi realizada análise descritiva das características das vítimas e calculadas as medidas de posição para as variáveis contínuas. Para verificar qual o melhor indicador (TRISS ou NTRISS) para probabilidade de sobrevida e o melhor ponto de corte, foi utilizada a curva ROC. Os resultados foram confrontados com as mortes e sobrevidas observadas com o intuito de se identificar a fórmula mais acurada para cálculo da probabilidade de sobrevida. Fizeram parte do estudo pacientes traumatizados entre 18 e 95 anos, sendo a maioria jovens (61,9%), do sexo masculino (80,5%). Os acidentes de transporte foram as causas externas mais frequentes (61,9%), e, consequentemente, houve predomínio de trauma contuso (87,1%). Do total de pacientes, 82,9% foram atendidos por unidades sistematizadas de atendimento pré-hospitalar. A região mais freqüentemente traumatizada foi a superfície externa (63,0%), seguida por cabeça e pescoço (55,5%). Os pacientes estiveram internados por uma média de 11,0 dias (+ 18,0). Dos 533 pacientes, 42,2% necessitaram de internação em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. A taxa de sobrevida foi de 76,9%. A maioria dos indivíduos (54,5%) apresentou valor de RTS de 7 a 7,84. O escore do ISS e do NISS variou de 0 a 75, com predomínio do escore de 9 a 15 (40,0%) para o ISS e de 16 a 24 (25,5%) para o NISS. O valor do TRISS e do NTRISS variou de 0 a 100,0%; probabilidade de sobrevida maior ou igual a 75,0% foi apresentada por 83,4% dos pacientes segundo o TRISS e por 78,4% dos pacientes de acordo com o NTRISS. O TRISS superestimou a probabilidade de sobrevida dos pacientes traumatizados. Houve diferença estatisticamente significativa entre a previsão de sobrevida dada pelo TRISS e NTRISS, e o NTRISS foi mais assertivo que o TRISS para prever sobrevida dos pacientes atendidos neste centro de traumaThe Trauma and Injury Severity Score (TRISS) is an index that permits the calculation of survival probability in trauma victims. The following information is necessary to perform this calculation: age, trauma type -penetrating or contusion; value from the Revised Trauma Score (RTS); and the scores from the Injury Severity Score (ISS). In 1997, a revision was done to the ISS to improve its accuracy for determining the severity of traumas, thus resulting in a new version called the New Injury Severity Score (NISS). Studies have shown that this NISS is equal to or greater than the ISS in the prediction of mortality. The objective of this study was to verify if substituting the ISS with the NISS, in the original TRISS form, improved the survival rate estimate. This retrospective study included 533 trauma victims who were attended and interned in the emergency room during a period of 1 year, in \"Hospital das Clínicas\" of the Medical School of the University of Sao Paulo. A descriptive analysis of the characteristics of the victims was performed and the position measurements for the continuous variables were calculated. An ROC curve was used to verify which would be the best indicator (TRISS or NTRISS) for calculating the survival probability. The results were compared with the deaths and survivors in order to indentify the most accurate formula for calculating survival probability. Included in this study were trauma victims, between the ages of 18 to 95, with the majority being youths (61.9%) and of the male gender (80.5%). Contributing causes were predominantly from motor vehicle accidents (61.9%), and predominantly with contusions (87.1%). Of the total victims, 82.9% were treated in first aid clinics. The most frequent trauma regions were superficial (63%) followed by the head and neck (55.5%) The victims were interned on an average of 11 days. ( +18.0). Of the 533 victims 42.2% were interned in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) and the survival rate was 76.9%. The majority of individuals (54.5%) had RTS scores between 7 and 7.84. The ISS and NISS score varied from 0 to 75, with the average ISS score ranging from 9-15 (40.0%) and the NISS score from 16-24 (25.5%). The TRISS and NTRISS scores varied between 0 and 100 %; probability of survival equal to or greater than 75.0% was presented for 83.4% of the victims according to TRISS and 78.4% according to NTRISS thus, the TRISS overestimated the probability of survival in trauma victims. There was a statistically significant difference in the estimate of survivability data between the TRISS and NTRISS with the latter being the more accurate scale for predicting survivability among the victims treated in this trauma center
