Abstract:
The Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) is one of the most important components of large-scale tropical atmospheric circulations. The PWC and its influences have been studied extensively by numerical models and reanalysis. The newly released ERA5 and NCEP2 are the most widely used reanalysis datasets and serve as benchmarks for evaluation of model simulations. If the results of these datasets differ significantly, this could lead to a bias in projected long-term climate knowledge. For better understanding of future climate change, it is necessary to evaluate PWC reanalysis productions. As a result, we compared the PWC structures between the ERA5 and NCEP2 datasets from month to seasonal time scales. We used the zonal mass streamfunction (ZMS) over the equatorial Pacific to indicate the strength of the PWC. The PWC’s average monthly or seasonal cycle peaks around July. From February to June, the NCEP2 shows a higher PWC intensity, whereas the ERA5 shows greater intensity from July to December. The circulation center in the NCEP2 is generally stronger and wider than in the ERA5. The ERA5, however, revealed that the PWC’s west edge (zero line of ZMS over the western Pacific) had moved 10 degrees westward in comparison to the NCEP2. In addition, we compared the PWC mean state in the reanalysis and CMIP6 models; the mean state vertical structures of the tropical PWC in the CMIP6 multi-model ensemble (MME) are similar to those of the reanalyses in structure but weaker and wider than in the two reanalysis datasets. The PWC is broader in CMIP6, and the western boundary is 7 and 17 degrees farther west than in the ERA5 and NCEP2, respectively. This study suggests that, when using reanalysis datasets to evaluate PWC structural changes in intensity and western edge, extreme caution should be exercised.

Abstract:
Abstract A compact, hand-held multiband sun photometer (ozone monitor) has been used to measure total precipitable water content (PWC) at the low-latitude tropical station in Pune, India (18°32′N, 73°51′E). Data collected in the daytime (0730–1800 LT) during the period from May 1998 to September 2001 have been used here. The daytime average PWC value at this station is 1.13 cm, and the average for only the clear-sky days is 0.75 cm. PWC values between 0.75 and 1.0 cm have the maximum frequency of occurrence. There is a large day-to-day variability due to varied sky and meteorological conditions. Mainly two types of diurnal variations in PWC are observed. The one occurs in the premonsoon summer months of April and May and shows that forenoon values are smaller than afternoon values. The other type occurs in November and December and shows a minimum around noontime. There is a diurnal asymmetry in PWC in which, on the majority of the days, the mean afternoon value is greater than the forenoon value. This asymmetry is more pronounced in the summer and southwest monsoon months (i.e., March–June). Monthly mean PWC is highest in September and lowest in December. The increase in PWC from the winter (December–February) to summer (March–May) seasons is about 50% and from the summer to southwest monsoon seasons (June–September) is almost 98%. Sun photometer–derived PWC shows a fairly good relationship with surface relative humidity and radiosonde-derived PWC, with a correlation coefficient as high as 0.80.

Abstract:
Abstract There is an uncertainty in how the Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) will change in response to increased greenhouse gas (GHG) warming. On average, climate models predict that the PWC will weaken. Observational evidence is mixed, with some evidence supporting the models while others do not. In this study, insight into the PWC trend is provided by examining the tropical dry static stability, a quantity that is inversely proportional to the strength of the PWC. For the 1979–2012 period, the static stability increased markedly in all phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5) models, far more so than in the satellite and global reanalysis data, which show a strengthening of the PWC. The stabilization is greater for a subset of models that simulate a significant weakening of the PWC. With the observed sea surface temperature as the lower boundary condition, over the western tropical Pacific, atmospheric models that belong to the weakening-PWC-CMIP5 group produce greater stabilization than those that belong to the strengthening-PWC-CMIP5 group. Compared with the latter group, the former group of atmospheric models simulates weaker trade winds over the western and central tropical Pacific and, consistent with the Bjerknes mechanism, the corresponding CMIP5 models produce a weaker west–east gradient in tropical SST. Given that the models’ convective parameterizations overstabilize the atmosphere compared with an explicit convection, the findings here suggest that the models’ representations of tropical convection and stability contribute to the models’ tendency to simulate a weakening of the PWC and an El Niño–like SST.

Abstract:
Background Cluttering is a fluency disorder that is mainly characterized by an abnormally rapid or irregular rate of speech. Additional symptoms have also been linked to cluttering, making it challenging to define and diagnose. One such feature contributing to this difficulty is poor attention. However, little evidence exists that explores attention performance in people who clutter (PWC) compared to the typical adult populations. This pilot study aimed to expand the evidence base by using a Stroop task to investigate attention performance in PWC. Method Four PWC and 4 gender-matched typical language controls completed a Stroop color-word task that looked specifically at interference and reactive inhibition, 2 aspects of attention. A 2 Groups (typical language controls, PWC) × 4 Conditions (neutral, incongruent, incongruent probe, congruent) repeated-measures analysis of variance was carried out for both dependent variables of reaction time and accuracy. Results There were no significant differences between groups for reaction time or accuracy. However, Stroop tasks require large sample sizes to yield significant results. A closer inspection of mean reaction time and accuracy data as well as the pairwise comparisons indicated that PWC performed similarly to controls on the components of the task that investigated interference. However, PWC performed differently on aspects of the task that tested reactive inhibition. Conclusions The results from this study indicate that PWC may have reduced inhibition. However, findings are preliminary, and further research with larger cohorts is needed to explore inhibition in PWC. In the interim, greater attention difficulties should not be ruled out and should be given consideration in the diagnosis and management of PWC.

Abstract:
A laboratory experiment using 15 male subjects was conducted to document lifting physical work capacity over the frequency range of 2 to 12 lifts per minute and to compare these values to bicycling physical work capacity. Results indicate that bicycling PWC is significantly higher than lifting PWC at the 0.05 level. A variation in lifting PWC as a function of frequency was observed. This could be attributed to lifting technique. Task design should, therefore, not only consider lifting PWC but also the frequency of lift.

Abstract:
Soil water retention curves (SWRCs) form an essential component of frameworks coupling the hydromechanical behaviour of unsaturated soils. The curves describe how suction changes with variables such as degree of saturation, void ratio and volumetric/gravimetric water content. SWRCs can be determined from incrementally drying initially saturated reconstituted samples to a final residual state, thus developing the primary drying curve (PDC). The primary wetting curve (PWC) is established from subsequent incremental wetting from residual state and is hysteretic compared with the PDC. SWRCs for reconstituted, high-plasticity, tropical clays from Africa (Sudan, Tanzania and South Africa) will be produced using suction measuring instruments, a tensiometer, filter paper and a dew point potentiometer. The development of SWRCs under various subsequent cycles of drying will be presented and discussed along with details concerning volumetric changes and cracking during drying. In order to investigate the uniqueness of the PDC and PWC and the effect of initial void ratio, SWRCs will be determined for samples formed by reconstituted from slurry under different applied energy levels.

Abstract:
The tropical Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) is fundamentally important to global atmospheric circulation, and changes in it have a vital influence on the weather and climate systems. A novel three-pattern decomposition of a global atmospheric circulation (3P-DGAC) method, which can be used to investigate atmospheric circulations including the PWC, was proposed in our previous study. Therefore, the present study aims to examine the capability of this 3P-DGAC method to acquire interdecadal variations in the PWC and its connection to inhomogeneous air temperature changes in the period from 1961–2012. Our findings reveal that interdecadal variations in the PWC, i.e., weakening (strengthening) between the periods 1961–1974 and 1979–1997 (1979–1997 and 1999–2012), can be observed using the zonal stream function (ZSF) derived from the 3P-DGAC method. Enhancement of the PWC is also associated with the strengthening and weakening of zonal circulations in the tropical Indian Ocean (IOC) and Atlantic (AOC), respectively, and vice versa, implying a connection between these zonal overturning circulations in the tropics. The interdecadal variations in the zonal circulations correspond well to inhomogeneous air temperature changes, i.e., an enhancement of the PWC is associated with a warming (cooling) of the air temperature from 1000 to 300 hPa in the western (mid–eastern) Pacific Ocean and a cooling (warming) of the air temperature in the tropopause in the western (mid–eastern) Pacific Ocean. Furthermore, a novel index for the PWC intensity based on air temperature is defined, and the capability of the novel index in representing the PWC intensity is evaluated. This novel index is potentially important for the prediction of the PWC by using dynamic equations derived from the 3P-DGAC method.

Abstract:
Abstract In the face of a coronavirus pandemic, many buildings or facilities are closed. The sudden closing of schools, factories or offices has caused a reduction in the water consumption inside buildings. The lack of chlorinated water flowing through the pipes, combined with temperature changes, poses a real risk to potable water from the bacteria multiplication point of view. The contribution focuses on the requirements for the temperature of potable water cold (PWC) in the water pipeline system inside buildings. The main goal of the research is to evaluate the effect of heat transfer between the PWC and the surrounding air during the water stagnation. Temperature differences between the PWC and the indoor air in building are leading to the heat transfer by convection. The result of the heat transfer is an undesired increase of the PWC temperature. The paper assesses the increase in PWC temperature over time using two methodologies - mathematical analysis and computer simulation. The results show that with an increasing pipe diameter and insulation thickness, the temperature of PWC during stagnation increases more slowly. The article points out the fact that the first 10 mm of insulation has the greatest impact on preventing the heating of PWC from the surrounding environment. Regarding the material design of the pipeline, only small deviations in the results were calculated between steel and plastic pipe. Mathematical analysis and computer simulation show that the issue of PWC stagnation in the pipeline has a significant effect on the temperature and thus the quality of water in buildings.

Abstract:
Pine tree substrates (PTSs) may provide growers with sustainable substrate component options. Improved processing of PTS components has provided new materials with little scientific evaluation or understanding of their hydrophysical behavior and properties. Moisture retention characteristics were developed for two PTSs and four traditional greenhouse components: sphagnum peat, coconut coir, perlite, pine bark, shredded-pine-wood (SPW), and pine-wood-chips (PWC). Mixtures of peat containing 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50% of perlite, SPW, or PWC were also characterized. Hydrophysical properties were measured, allowing for comparison of the PTS components to the more traditional substrate components (peat, coir, perlite, and pine bark). The SPW was constructed to retain water similarly to peat and pine bark, whereas the PWC was made to increase drainage like perlite. Shredded pine wood had higher total porosity and more easily available water than did PWC components. Total porosities of SPW and PWC were similar to pine bark and coir; air space and drainage were higher than peat and coir because of the lower percentage of fine particles in the PTS components. The two PTS components had a greater influence on water drainage and retention dynamics than did perlite when amended with peat as an aggregate. Water release patterns of SPW or PWC components at low tensions were lower than peat and greater than pine bark; drainage was similar to perlite at higher tensions. Equilibrium capacity variable models predicted similar physical properties (and trends) across multiple container sizes for peat mixes amended with perlite, SPW, or PWC. The impact of PWC on drainage and aeration was similar to perlite in all containers, but these effects were greater in smaller containers.

Abstract:
The present study aims to investigate the phonological development of typically developing monolingual Swedish speaking children aged three to four years. The result could be used in the standardization of a new phonological test material for clinical speech and language pathology assessments. One-hundred and thirty four children aged three and four years (73 girls and 61 boys) were assessed with the new material. The children were tested in kindergartens in three communities in southeastern Sweden. Their assessments were audio recorded, transcribed phonetically and analyzed with Percentage Phonemes Correct (PPC) and Percentage of Words Correct (PWC). An analysis of speech error patterns of substitutions of phonemes, reduction of consonant clusters and word structural deviations was conducted. The data recorded from the children were divided and analyzed in four semi-annual intervals and two annual intervals. The result shows a clear developmental trend with children in the older age group having a higher PPC and PWC than the younger children. Significant differences were found between the groups in annual intervals. Significant differences could only be demonstrated between the youngest age group and the other groups at semi-annual intervals. No significant gender differences were observed. Most of the errors of individual phonemes and consonant clusters among children in all age groups were distortions rather than substitutions, but the younger children simplified consonant clusters more often.

Abstract:
A new phonological test, LINUS, for Swedish-speaking children between the ages of three and seven, has been developed at the speech and language pathology department at Linköping University. The aim of the present study was to create a reference manual for the long version of the new test. The participants in the present study were children between the ages of five to seven in a medium-sized municipality in the Northern part of Kalmar County, Sweden. In total, 124 native Swedish-speaking children (58 girls and 66 boys) with typical language development participated. The children were divided into two age groups, 5;0-5;11;31 and 6;0-6;11;31 years. The collected data was analysed with respect to acquisition of phonemes and word structure processes. Percentage of correctly produced words (PWC), consonants (PCC) and vowels (PVC) were calculated.All phonemes, except /s/, were established in both age groups. The phoneme /s/ was found to be either substituted or distorted. Among the 5-year old children /s/ was established for 84%, substitutions of /s/ were found in 7% and distortions were found in 23%. Among the 6-year old children /s/ was established for 88%. Substitutions of /s/ were found in 3% and distortions in 16% of the 6-year old children. The phoneme /r/ proved to be a borderline case for acquisition in the younger age group (91%). The most common word structure process in both groups was assimilation. A significant difference between the two age groups was found for assimilation (p=0,022), with lower occurrence in the older group. Two-consonant clusters (CC) and three-consonant clusters (CCC) were not frequently reduced, although it was found that CC-clusters were reduced more frequently than CCC-clusters. Both the age groups had high percentages of correctly produced words, consonants and vowels. The analysis revealed the following results: PWC for 5-years olds was 93% and 6-years olds 97%. PCC for 5-year olds was 98% and for 6-year olds 99%. PVC for both age groups was 100%. An age difference was shown for PWC, but not for the other measures. No gender differences were found.
Ett nytt fonologiskt testmaterial, LINUS, är framtaget för svensktalande barn. I föreliggande studie har referensmaterial till den långa versionen av det nya testet insamlats bland barn 5-7 år i en mellanstor kommun i norra Kalmar län. Totalt deltog 124 barn (58 flickor och 66 pojkar) med svenska som modersmål och typisk språkutveckling. Barnen delades upp i två åldersintervall, 5;0-5;11;31 och 6;0-6;11;31 år. Det insamlade materialet analyserades avseende etablering av fonem och konsonantkombinationer, samt förekomst av ordstrukturprocesser. Andelsmått för korrekt uttalade ord (PWC), konsonanter (PCC) och vokaler (PVC) beräknades.Samtliga fonem, utom /s/, var etablerade i båda åldersgrupperna. Fonemet /s/ realiserades med substitutioner eller kvalitativt marginella avvikelser (KMA). I 5-årsgruppen var /s/ etablerat för 84% av deltagarna. Bland 5-åringarna förekom substitutioner av /s/ hos 7% och KMA förekom hos 23%. I 6-årsgruppen var /s/ etablerat till 88%, och det förekom substitutioner hos 3% av 6-åringarna, och KMA förekom hos 16%. Fonemet /r/ visade sig vara ett gränsfall avseende etablering för den yngre åldersgruppen (91%). Den vanligaste ordstrukturprocessen för båda grupperna var assimilationer. Signifikanta skillnader mellan de två åldersgrupperna återfanns avseende assimilationer, p=0,022. Förekomsten av assimilationer minskade med stigande ålder. Tvåkonsonantskombinationer (CC) och trekonsonantskombinationer (CCC) visade sig ej vara påverkade av förenklingar i någon större grad. Dock visade sig CC-kombinationer vara mer utsatta för förenklingar än CCC-kombinationer. Båda åldersgrupperna hade höga andelar korrekt uttalade ord, konsonanter och vokaler. De två grupperna fick följande resultat: PWC för 5-åringar var 93% och 6-åringar 97%. PCC var 98% respektive 99% för grupperna. PVC var 100% för båda åldersgrupperna. Åldersskillnader kunde ses för PWC, dock inte för de andra måtten. Inga könsskillnader noterades.

Abstract:
Previous research on philosophy for children in schools has almost exclusively focused on how it is perceived by students. The aim of this study is to focus on how it is perceived by five teachers and other adults involved in implementing philosophy for children in schools, in total four teachers participated and one adult who worked with implementing took part in the study. The theoretical background is composed of Olga Dysthes view that knowledge is not only constructed but that the object that one intends to gain knowledge of has to be interacted with and how she applies this view dialogues in the classroom. The study was conducted by interviewing the participants. The results found that the teachers saw philosophy for children as something more than a tool to work with questions that were important to students, they were also viewed as a way to work with language and building solidarity within the class. Some of the informants also expressed views that they were certain that the discussions would end in the students aquiring the values that the school represented but that if this was not the case they would have to step in to steer the conversation towards these values. The study also found ambiguity towards the role of teachers as fascilitators of these discussions. There was a concern that the teacher as fascilitator could result in the students either returning to normal classroom behaviour or that they would alter what they said to fit what they were expecting the teacher to hold as the right answer. However the positive sides to having a teacher fascilitator was that these would know the class better and better be able to establish an environment that is suited for a philosophical discussion.

Abstract:
Children with phonological disorder are at risk of developing reading and writing impairments. Phonological difficulties may also influence a child’s social interaction and it is for this reason that effective treatment of phonological disorder is important. One factor that may influence treatment efficacy, is treatment intensity. There has been little research done in Sweden, on the effects of intensity of phonological intervention. Further research into phonological intervention is therefore needed to determine which treatment intensity is the most effective. The aim of this study is to evaluate the possible effects of intensive treatment of two preschool children with phonological disorder. The research questions focus on the nature of the possible effects of phonological treatment and if they lead to generalization, and whether caregivers notice any changes in their children’s speech. A single-subject design was used with three baseline measurements, followed by treatment and two follow up measurements. The treatment was given three times a week over the course of three weeks, and every treatment session lasted for approximately 40 minutes. The results of the baseline and follow ups were calculated with Percentage Consonants Correct (PCC), Percentage Words Correct (PWC), and the percentage of manner of articulation correct. Both participants displayed improvements between the baseline and the second follow up, in all the measurements. Changes could be seen in the target phonemes both in new positions and in new words, but also in untrained phonemes. The caregivers of both participants experienced an improvement in their children's speech. How the estimated intensity affected the results is unclear. However, the results indicated that intensive treatment led to generalization and that it showed effect. Thus, the results of the present study could have clinical relevance.
Förskolebarn med fonologiska svårigheter riskerar att få läs- och skrivsvårigheter i skolåldern och påverkan på det sociala samspelet. Det är därför viktigt med effektiv fonologisk intervention, som kan påverkas av intensiteten. Det finns sparsamt med svenska studier om intensitetens påverkan vid fonologisk intervention. Föreliggande studie syftar till att utvärdera eventuell effekt av intensiv behandling hos två förskolebarn med fonologiska svårigheter. Frågeställningarna innefattar hur den eventuella effekten av fonologisk behandling ser ut, om den leder till generalisering, samt om vårdnadshavarna upplever någon förändring.  Studien hade en single-subject design med tre baslinjemätningar och två uppföljande mätningar. Fonemtestet LINköpingsUnderSökningen (LINUS) användes vid samtliga mätningar. Behandlingen genomfördes vid nio tillfällen, tre gånger i veckan i tre veckor. Varje behandlingstillfälle var cirka 40 minuter långt. Resultatet av LINUS-testningen beräknades med Percentage Consonants Correct (PCC), Percentage Words Correct (PWC) och andel korrekt artikulationssätt och analyserades även kvalitativt. Resultaten jämfördes mellan de olika mätningarna. Båda deltagarna uppvisade förbättringar för samtliga mått mellan baslinjemätningarna och den sista uppföljande mätningen. Förändringar kunde ses av tränade ljud till nya ord och positioner samt av ljud som inte tränades i behandling. Vårdnadshavarna till de deltagande barnen upplevde att deras barns tal hade förbättrats efter behandlingen. Det är svårt att uttala sig om vilken inverkan den uppskattade intensiteten hade på behandlingsutgången. Resultatet indikerar dock att intensiv behandling hade effekt och att den ledde till generalisering, och skulle således kunna vara till nytta i klinisk verksamhet.

TESIS PARA OPTAR AL GRADO DE MAGÍSTER EN ADMINISTRACIÓN
Mariana Muñoz Faúndez [Parte I], Juan Ignacio Lerdon Figueroa [Parte II]
evidencia a nivel internacional ha demostrado que la adopción de mejores prácticas de gobierno corporativo dentro de las organizaciones está fuertemente relacionada con su trascendencia y crecimiento sostenido.i A partir de lo anterior, este plan de negocios está relacionado a los cambios y requerimientos actuales del mercado sobre el tema de GC, donde se observa el impacto en Chile de tres compañías que fueron líderes en sus industria; como La Polar (Chile, 2011), Inverlink (Chile, 2003) y Enron (EE.UU., 2001). La experiencia internacional indica que las buenas prácticas de GC fortalecen los órganos de dirección y control de las empresas, al tiempo que definen reglas entre los actores, e incrementan el nivel de transparencia y rendición de cuentas frente a grupos de interésii. Por tanto, PwC Chile detecta una oportunidad de negocio para ampliar su portafolio de servicios, donde propone incorporar una UEN asociada a la asesoría y consultoría de GC, que pretende contribuir a los clientes en la formulación del mejoramiento de la eficiencia en sus procesos a nivel corporativo, ayudar al desarrollo de una gestión de riesgos que permitan prevenir y/o mitigar situaciones, e incentivar a los miembros del GC para se capaciten en estos temas. Todo lo anterior, con la propuesta promover las buenas prácticas en los GC de las principales empresas del país. También, mediante este servicio se busca que las empresas obtengan resultados positivos sin descuidar la sustentabilidad, la perdurabilidad y velando por producir externalidades positivas sobre el entorno. Es así, como se ha realizado la evaluación financiera en UF asociada a la implementación de la UEN, proyecto que entrega un valor presente neto (VPN) ascendente a UF295.930, con una TIR de 137% y tasa de descuento de 7,87%. Esto es atractivo para el inversionista, ya que los retornos esperados del proyecto superan los costos y otros desembolsos para llevar a cabo el mismo. Cabe mencionar, que la UEN ofrece este servicio de GC integrado, siendo pionero dentro de las 4 grandes firmas auditoras, lo que está relacionado de manera directa con la estrategia de PwC de ser líder en la oferta a clientes y en la calidad entregada en cada uno de los servicios diferenciados

Abstract:
This dissertation analyses the origin, purposes, nature, operation and achievements of the Commonwealth's Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works (Public Works Committee - PWC), and assesses its utility to parliament. The PWC originated in 1913 as a permanent committee of parliamentarians established to examine government proposals for public works, and report on them to parliament. Its purpose is to provide detailed data on works proposals in order to allow informed voting. In the process parliament also achieves a degree of control over government - ministers and public servants. Unlike most parliamentary audit of government expenditure, the PWC scrutinises proposals before works are built. It is a joint, statutory, scrutiny committee. The proper role for parliamentary committees in general is the checking of government, through influence, criticism, scrutiny, and publicity. The PWC is assessed against this role through an analysis of its legislation and operation, and interviews with involved parliamentarians and bureaucrats. Criteria used include adequacy of evidence obtained, precision and clarity of reports, and degree of influence on government and acceptance of recommendations. In these terms the PWC has little effect in controlling policy making by the executive government - cabinet and ministers. Moreover, specific amendment of its act together with the consequential effects of nominally unrelated legislation, have reduced the scope of Committee activities to an estimated less than half of all Commonwealth public works. This trend is continuing under current policies of corporatising departmental activities and excluding the resulting statutory corporations from PWC examination. These moves prevent parliament playing its proper role in the governance of the country. However, within the ambit of its powers, the PWC generally rates highly against the above criteria, and exerts a significant degree of parliamentary control over government administration - the public service - in the implementation of public works.

Abstract:
Då uppsatsförfattarna tillbringade en termin som utbytesstudenter på Hogeschool Inholland i Rotterdam, Nederländerna uppstod ett intresse för kulturella skillnader mellan länder. Författarna, som i grund och botten anser att Nederländerna och Sverige är två relativt lika länder, stötte med jämna mellanrum på diverse kommentarer gällande kvinnors situation i arbetslivet, vilket gjorde att uppmärksamhet riktades mot det området. Uppsatsen syftar med det här som bakgrund till att utveckla de tankegångar som väcktes under tiden i Nederländerna och svara på frågan:”Hur skiljer sig upplevelsen av att vara kvinna på revisionsbyrå i Sverige respektive Nederländerna?”Diskussionen kring frågeställningen förs med sex intervjuer som underlag, tre genomförda i Nederländerna och tre i Sverige på revisionsbyrån Öhrlings PricewaterhouseCoopers. Utgångspunkten för de samtal som fördes med respondenterna ligger i Hofstedes teorier om kulturella dimensioner. Det insamlade empiriska materialet har bearbetats narrativt och sammanställts i en fiktiv mailkonversation.Syftet med uppsatsen är att lyfta fram tankar och attityder kring frågeställningen och locka till reflektion hos läsaren. Processen har präglats av ett hermeneutiskt förhållningssätt och en abduktiv ansats. En kvalitativ metod genomsyrar studien och datainsamlingen skedde genom kvalitativa intervjuer, vilket bidragit till att det är respondenters egna åsikter och attityder kring frågeställningen som framförs.Tre områden har visat på skillnader länderna emellan. Det första området gäller den så kallade ”up-or-out” kulturen, vilken innebär att avancera eller lämna företaget. Den här kulturen har stor påverkan på medarbetarna i Nederländerna, men kan inte sägas förekomma i Sverige. I Nederländerna är det inte accepterat att stanna på en viss hierarkisk nivå, utan den anställde måste hela tiden sträva uppåt. I Sverige är det godtaget att välja att bli kvar på en viss nivå och inte ha avancemang som främsta karriärsmål.Det andra området handlar om hur mycket tid som läggs ner på arbetsrelaterade aktiviteter utöver direkta arbetsuppgifter. Överlag verkar ett heltidsarbete på revisionsbyrå innebära fler timmar än de 40 timmar per vecka som är praxis. Utöver det här ansåg respondenterna i Nederländerna att det var viktigt för karriären att spendera en del av sin fritid på arbetsrelaterade aktiviteter. Syftet med det är att skaffa sig ett brett nätverk, vilket är viktigt för möjligheten till snabbt avancemang.Det tredje området rör möjligheten att kombinera karriär och familjebildande. Under forskningsprocessen har det framkommit att i allmänhet anser inte de kvinnor vi talat med att deras kön påverkar det dagliga arbete något nämnvärt. Ett område skiljer dock länderna åt. Kvinnorna i Nederländerna tvingas, på grund av regelverk och attityder kring föräldraledighet, i många fall välja mellan karriär och familjebildande. I Sverige upplevs det ej som om valet att bilda familj utesluter möjligheten att göra karriär.Det är författarnas förhoppning att uppsatsen ska locka till reflektion och eftertanke hos läsaren. Vi hoppas även att vi genom vår framställning av det empiriska materialet kan bidra till ett alternativt synsätt på frågeställningen.

Abstract:
Operators of personal watercraft (PWC) can perform maneuvers that may result in riders separating from the moving watercraft; the tested hypothesis was whether substantial brain injury concurrent with substantial facial and skull fractures can occur from contact with the PWC during a fall. The present study reports the potential for AIS2+ facial/skull fractures and AIS2+ traumatic brain injury (TBI) during a generic fall from the PWC in the absence of wave-jumping or other aggressive maneuvers. While it is well known that PWC can be used for wave-jumping which can result in more severe impacts, such impacts are beyond the scope of the present study because of the wide variability in occupant and PWC kinematics and possible impact velocities and orientations. Passenger separation and fall kinematics from both seated and standing positions were analyzed to estimate head impact velocities and possible impact locations on the PWC. A special purpose headform, known as the Facial and Ocular CountermeasUre Safety (FOCUS) device was used to evaluate the potential for facial fractures, skull fractures and TBI. Impacts between the FOCUS headform and the PWC were performed at velocities of 8, 10, and 12 miles per hour at 5 locations near the stern of a PWC. This study reports impact forces for various facial areas, linear and angular head accelerations, and Head Injury Criteria (HIC). The risk for facial fracture and TBI are reported herein. The results of this study indicate that concurrent AIS2 facial fractures, AIS2+ skull fractures, and AIS2+ TBI do not occur during a simple fall from a PWC.

In International Petroleum Technology Conference. IPTC, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.2523/iptc-21367-ms.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Malaysia's government recognizes the high risk that aging idle wells pose to its health, safety and environment and has developed some of the most stringent plug and abandonment, P&A, regulations to protect its future. Corroded casing strings and sustained casing pressure are common issues on its multi-decade old platforms and a risk-based design philosophy has been adopted to balance risk mitigation and operational costs, while still ensuring an eternal barrier. Both conventional rigs as well as rigless hydraulic workover units, HWU, are being used for P&A operations. This study considers the barrier element rationale applied in four offshore wells that were plug and abandoned by cap-rock restoration Perforate, Wash, Cement, PWC, barrier plugs. It also considers the operating window of a jet-based PWC technology to understand the challenges and opportunities for further optimization during HWU operations. Cap rock restoration utilizing both cup-based and jet-based PWC technology is being widely applied throughout Malaysia as a cost-effective alternative to casing section milled barrier plugs. Malaysia's P&A regulation allows isolation at the cap rock level, whereby "Contractor shall adhere to the Cap-Rock Abandonment Applicability Flowchart to identify technically and commercially acceptable candidates for this well abandonment method." The PWC method enables cap rock restoration in a single trip process; whereby the casing annulus is accessed by TCP guns to allow for annular debris to be effectively washed prior to cement plug placement. The process is not limited only to TCP guns; as a mechanical casing perforator was utilized in a shallow cased hole section of one of the wells to avoid damaging the outer casing. A custom BHA was developed and tested to match the cuts from the mechanical perforator. Specially oriented, rotating, wash jets were configured to maximize the annular access during the washing process. The washing effectiveness of this new BHA was confirmed by the massive amount of annular debris that was observed over the surface shakers. Operations were conducted offshore with a HWU with limited infrastructure and operating capability compared to a conventional rig. A PWC candidate screening matrix was applied early during the planning phase to manage rig limitation, well condition and operational risk to ensure successful barrier placement. All cap rock barriers were successfully installed and tested, and no sustained annular pressure remained in any of the wells. Fewer PWC plugs were required than originally planned, due to strict adherence to the Caprock Restoration Plan Decision Tree, resulting in significant cost savings for the project. The detailed time breakdown of the HWU operations provides useful insight into the operational efficiencies and unplanned events during the HWU campaign and lessons learned are shared from the project.

SPE, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.2118/208492-ms.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Wells plug & abandonment was carried out in a deepwater field (Field C) offshore West Africa. There were 15 deepwater subsea wells, in this field. Thirteen of the wells were completed with Open Water Vertical Xmas Tree (OXT) while remaining two were completed with Enhanced Vertical Xmas Tree (EVXT). All the wells were permanently abandoned with permanent barriers established in accordance to Norsok D-010, rev. 2013. This involved establishing well barriers which would both horizontally and vertically effective. The operator evaluated several methods in establishing well barriers for the permanent abandonment purpose of these 15 wells. The barriers placement for areas with good annulus cement were straightforward as an internal cement plug could be spotted as a permanent barrier. For this particular field, it is noted that all of the 15 wells have hydrocarbon bearing and permeable formations above the top of expected annulus lead cement which is designed basically to manage ECD during cementing job rather than giving good annular isolation. Due to this, it is important for the operator to employ the best technique that could establish a permanent cement barrier both inside the casing and in the annulus at the same time. Operator learned that Section Milling was the widely accepted method to establish barrier in cases where there is poor cement or the annulus cement is not present particularly in land and offshore wells. However, this technique poses severe operational risk especially in a deepwater operation mode. Upon review, it was determined that Perforate, Wash and Cement (PWC) technology has been proven and it would become a valuable technique in establishing well barrier which complies with abandonment requirement as per the industry guidelines. High risk activities for deepwater operations such as section milling could be avoided by employing this method. Nonetheless, the Perforate, Wash and Cement (PWC) technology has its own set of risks especially with its method of establishing the well barrier immediately upon setting it. This involves drilling and re-logging the well immediately after setting the cement in annulus to prove the barrier. Upon discussion with PWC contractor, it was agreed that the verification technique may create additional hazards as it could jeopardize the integrity of the installed barrier in the annulus. The additional requirement for cement verification process will also prolong the project duration, hence is an additional cost to the project too. Operator worked together with the Perforate Wash and Cement (PWC) Contractor and Well Examiner to determine the best verification method for PWC plugs with the objective to comply with regulation on cement verification while at the same time, resulting in most cost-efficient and time-efficient operation. The establishment of Element Acceptance Criteria as an alternative Barrier Verification Process for PWC technology is necessary to improve the reliability of the system as well as reducing associated risks. In total, 18 PWC operations were successfully carried out throughout the campaign. An extensive after action review was conducted at the completion of each job to capture the valuable lessons learnt. These lessons learnt are shared in this paper as well which could add value for future operations with similar settings. It is expected that this paper will serve as a reference in the establishment of Element Acceptance Criteria as well as its implementation during the P&A campaign. It is hoped that the lessons learnt shared in the paper could assist other Operators on planning for similar campaigns in the future.

Abstract:
ince the early 1990s, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has broadly supported health sector reforms in Mongolia. This paper describes primary health care (PHC) in Mongolia and ADB support in its reform. It highlights results achieved and the lessons drawn that could be useful for future programs in Mongolia and other countries. PHC reform in Mongolia aimed at facilitating a shift from hospital-based curative services toward preventive approaches. It included introducing new management models based on public–private partnerships, increasing the range of services, applying more effective financing methods, building human resources, and creating better infrastructure. The paper outlines remaining challenges and future directions for ADB support to PHC reform in the country.
