TESIS PARA OPTAR AL GRADO DE MAGÍSTER EN ADMINISTRACIÓNTatiana Del Pilar Cataldo Cortes [Parte I], Ariel Francisco Gómez Orellana [Parte II]
La seguridad en las personas es un tema común en nuestra sociedad, más aun cuando en los últimos años ha aumentado los robos de vehículos a través del “portonazo” no solo en el barrio alto, sino que en todo el país, afectando a todo tipo de familias. Durante el año 2016 este crimen se ha trasladado a comunas emergentes, dejando inseguros a gran parte de la población que cuenta con uno o más automóviles particulares, un 5,9% de ellos fue víctima de intento de robo o hurto de vehículos durante los últimos doce meses, una cifra no menor considerando el parque automotriz de RM es 1,8M vehículos particulares equivalente a 40% del parque total nacional (fuente INE 2015). El año 2015 las autoridades informaron que entre 4 y 5 autos eran robados cada 1 hora (102 autos por día en Chile) con una tasa de crecimiento de 4,2% respecto del 2014 (fuente Carabineros de Chile – La Tercera). Este alto crecimiento en los robos de vehículos particulares ha generado una industria en este tipo de delincuencia que supera los US $200M anuales, con más de 35.000 vehículos robados anualmente. Sabemos que a nivel mundial, la industria automotriz y la seguridad satelital han diseñados aparatos de rastreo en tiempo real para vehículos de alta gama, para la industria militar y las de uso estándar aplicada fuertemente en flotas. Entendiendo este contexto y dado el crecimiento en robo de vehículos particular, más la alta inseguridad ciudadana instalada, hemos visualizado una oportunidad de negocio para nuestro producto Car Recovery, el que ofrece monitorear y recuperar vehículos robados en tiempo real, a través de seguimiento en línea por un equipo especializado en vigilancia, acompañado de una plataforma robusta de operación 24/7, nuestra ventaja competitiva, es el equipo de rescatistas que acudirán motorizados al recupero del vehículo particular, mientras en paralelo nuestros operadores telefónicos se pondrán en contacto con seguridad ciudadana y Carabineros. Actualmente dimensionamos un mercado potencial superior a los US $310M, pero esta industria no se encuentra desarrollada, tampoco penetrada y tiene un alto potencial de crecimiento en el corto plazo, por ello, determinamos un mercado objetivo de US $50M anuales sólo en la región metropolitana. Car Recovery visualiza una oportunidad de negocio sobre $2.700M en ingresos al año 3 y sobre $9.900M al año 5, con un EBITDA de 29,1% al final de este período, con una TIR de 41,95%, lo que hace un negocio muy atractivo para un inversionista, entendiendo que ofreceremos a este, una rentabilidad de 30% y propiedad superior al 16% y compra de acciones preferentes.

As intelligent spaces have become more prevalent, the need for diagnosis and recovery from failures in these spaces has also grown. In an effort to make these types of spaces more useable for people who neither care about nor want to understand the underlying technology, encapsulation of high-level ideas into plans is being explored. Unfortunately, these plans are not always executed flawlessly. To deal with these failures, we have developed a system for plan recovery in intelligent spaces called a desktop multi-player virtual simulation game. In Charles River City, students work in teams to SPRIE. SPRIE is an automated system that uses a two-stage process for recovery from plan execution failures. In the first stage, the failure is diagnosed using Bayesian networks. In the second stage, a alternate plan is selected to recover from the failure. By automating the recovery process, the burden of understand the underlying architecture of the intelligent space is removed from the user.

Dubai is in crisis. The overall vacancy rate of the city continues to grow as more buildings come online with few or no tenants; moreover, the population has declined by one quarter of a million in 2009 alone. Dubai's economic engine, which quickly transformed huge amounts of capital into new architectural "bling," has stalled, revealing the underlying instability of a city built on speculation rather than foresight. Large swathes of the city remain incomplete and largely uninhabited, creating vast urban blights. Dubai risks damage to both its image and its ability to function. The city's decline, however, presents a unique opportunity for immediate and sweeping intervention against urban decay. My thesis proposes a dialectical planning process of retrofitting and shrink-wrapping Dubai. The retrofit strategy engages stopped building projects crucial to Dubai's function and image. The technical goal is to generate corridors of urbanity that permit the city to operate while the population and economy recover. The theoretical aim is not to produce new models for planning, but to generate design proposals that overtly critique and improve upon the existing built environment. The shrink-wrap strategy repositions Dubai's vast oversupply of real estate as an investment for the future. This directive removes redundant buildings or even whole developments from the market and preserves them for eventual redeployment. The goal is to create an image of progressiveness and anticipation, while also physically maintaining these built assets to prevent further economic loses. These planning strategies are posited as theoretical and marketable rationales for investment in Dubai's urban future.

Full textAbstract:
There are various types of disasters and no one can expect when they will occur. IT disaster recovery plan (ITDRP) became one of the most important contingency plans for organizations in the event of disasters. Organizations started realizing the importance of having IT Disaster recovery plan but many hesitate to apply this plan before a disaster occurs. However, even when the importance of ITDRP is acknowledged in the IS field, most scholarly work has focused on the process and strategies while briefly looking at the challenges and benefits of the DRP. This paper aims to investigate the most common challenges associated with having an effective ITDRP and the opportunities associated with this plan. A qualitative study was conducted which consists 6 interviews within several organizations which have developed an ITDRP. The results show that top management support, staff issues, maintenance, and disaster recovery sites are the main challenges organizations face during DRP. While the benefits were data protection, reducing the interruption for business functions, enhancing the reliability for staff and IT services and speeding up the decision-making process.

Full textAbstract:
The problem of street children in Namibia corresponds with that
seen in other Third World countries where the economic and socioeconomic
climate favours unemployment and poverty, resulting in
cultural degeneration and desperate antisocial behavioural patterns.
An example of this phenomenon is the growing numbers of street
children who are not an integral part of a family, supportive neighbourhood
or healthy surroundings. A recovery plan based on the
concrete particulars of the everyday realities of these children is
urgently required to reverse the situation. It demands a clear understanding
of the problem within the specific context of Namibia. This
article describes the general characteristics, behavioural patterns and
causes of the phenomenon in order to enable the government to
prevent, manage and provide an efficient service to households in
Namibia so as to defuse and respond to those factors contributing
to children living on the streets.

Full textAbstract:
IT solutions must be protected so that the business can continue, even in the case of fatal failures associated with disasters. Business continuity in the context of disaster implies that business cannot continue in the current environment but instead must continue at an alternate site or data center. However, the BC/DR concept today is too fragmented, as many different frameworks and methodologies exist. Furthermore,many of the application-specific solutions are provided and promoted by software vendors, while hardware vendors provide solutions for their hardware environments. Nevertheless, there are concerns that BC/DR solutions often do not connect to the technical components that are in the lower layers, which function as the foundationfor any such solutions; hence, it is equally important to connect and map the requirements accordingly. Moreover, a shift in the hardware environment, such as cloud computing, as well as changes in operations management, such as outsourcing,add complexity that must be captured by a BC/DR solution. Furthermore, the integrated nature of IT-based business solutions also presents new challenges, as it isno longer one IT solution that must be protected but also other IT solutions that are integrated to deliver an individual business process. Thus, it will be difficult to employa current BC/DR approach. Hence, the purpose of this thesis project is to design, develop, and present a novel way of addressing the BC/DR gaps, while supporting the requirements of a dynamic IT environment. The solution reuses most elements fromthe existing standards and solutions. However, it also includes new elements to capture and present the technical solution; hence, the complete solution is designatedas a framework. The new framework can support many IT solutions since it will havea modular approach, and it is flexible, scalable, and platform and application independent, while addressing the solution on a component level. The new framework is applied to two application scenarios at the stakeholder site, and theresults are studied and presented in this thesis.

Magister Commercii (Information Management) - MCom(IM)This thesis examines what a Business Continuity Plan (BCP) should comprise off, as well as the difference between a BCP and a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) and the key elements of an effective BCP as well as the different types of disasters. It also investigates why companies that have BCP in place and conducts testing of their plan on a regular basis, either quarterly or bi-annually, still experience prolonged downtime during a disaster resulting in Service Level Agreements (SLA) not being met or major financial loses. It also inspects acceptable processes within a BCP to determine whether there are ways of improving these processes to prevent companies from experiencing prolonged downtime. The objective of this research is to determine and understand: Why organisations within the Western Cape experience prolonged downtimes during a disaster event. The potential deficiencies in a BCP and how they can be amended. A case study of four companies based in the Western Cape was conducted. These companies were chosen because each of them has a BCP in place and each have experienced prolonged downtime during a disaster. Qualitative interviews with the aid of an open-ended questionnaire were used to interview the BCP or Risk Manager of each company. The data was analysed to determine what the causes of their prolonged downtime were during a disaster. In the analysis and findings process each company is presented as a separate case study. The intension with this research study is to add an additional concept to the Common BCP Process that was identified within this study and that formed the basis for the Conceptual Framework, thereby reducing the downtime during a disaster for the companies that formed part of the research.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to establish an action plan whose implementation would improve waste management practices in demolition and rehabilitation operations and improve the recovery of waste from these operations in accordance with the hierarchy established by the European regulations in the Waste Framework Directive of 19 November 2008. This study made it possible to establish a diagnosis of the current state of waste management in the building sector and to identify the various brakes preventing better waste recovery. For these brakes, levers for improvement were identified by a literature study, associated with concrete examples of innovative solutions implemented by companies in France. A systemic approach to the building sector was used to identify the brakes and levers for improvement. This macroscopic approach took into consideration all the players in the sector as well as all the phases (upstream and downstream) of a demolition or rehabilitation project. On the basis of the brakes and levers identified, graphs representing the causal links between the brakes and the levers of improvement were drawn up. The superimposition of these graphs made it possible to draw up brake-lever pairs, which together forms the basis for the action plan for improving waste recovery. Being limited to demolition and rehabilitation operations only, the method carried out in this study may also be used in future studies applying this protocol to the entire building sector including also infrastructures. The action plan established in this study could thereby be enriched. The second step will be to put the action plan into practice on a "test" work site and to study the impact of the improvement levers on waste recovery in order to conclude on the relevance of this action plan.

Denna uppsats kretsar kring två företags återhämtningsarbete vid uppkomsten av respektive skandal. Vidare skapas en djupare förståelse för teorin Service Recovery's betydelse och användning i praktiken. De två fallen där skandaler inträffat är grundade dels i ICA:s köttfärsskandal och dels i IKEA:s fjäderplockningsskandal. Uppsatsen har en deduktiv ansats vilket innebär att uppsatsen utgår från befintliga teorier som sedan testas med det insamlade empiriska materialet. Den teoretiska referensramen innefattar främst Grönroos teorier kring Service Recovery och kompletteras med teorier så som Service Recovery Paradox, kundförväntningar, sociala medier och immateriell påverkan. Uppsatsens forskningsfrågor besvaras främst med hjälp av en fallstudie med två företagsanalyser samt med en enkätundersökning. Studien är av både kvalitativ och kvantitativ karaktär där kvalitativ data samlats in via en e-mail intervju med Ylva Magnusson vid IKEA, och kvantitativt via en enkätundersökning. Uppsatsen har resulterat i kännedom om hur de två företagen arbetat med att återfå kundförtroende. Uppsatsen har även gett författarna möjlighet att utveckla en ny modell av praktisk bemärkelse som behandlar processarbete inom Service Recovery.

O presente estudo aborda a implementação, pela rede estadual de ensino de Minas Gerais, da política de progressão parcial, mecanismo que possibilita ao aluno avançar para o ano de escolaridade seguinte nas disciplinas em que obteve aproveitamento satisfatório, oferecendo-lhe oportunidades de recuperação naquelas em que apresenta dificuldades. Nas escolas estaduais mineiras, a progressão parcial é concedida em situação de desempenho insatisfátorio em, no máximo, duas disciplinas, ocorrendo reprovação do aluno caso ultrapasse esse limite. Nessa organização, o aluno tem duas oportunidades para vencer suas dificuldades: uma no primeiro semestre, sob a forma de estudos orientados e a outra no segundo semestre como estudo independente. O objetivo geral da pesquisa é analisar, no contexto escolar, a operacionalização da progressão parcial nos anos finais do ensino fundamental, indicando os pontos positivos e negativos com vistas à proposição de um Plano de Ação Educacional. Para tanto, foram selecionadas duas escolas estaduais pertencentes à Superintendência Regional de Ensino Metropolitana C, sendo uma em Belo Horizonte e a outra em Ribeirão das Neves. A abordagem metodológica privilegiou a pesquisa qualitativa através da análise documental, da interpretação da legislação e de entrevistas semiestruturadas com diretores, especialistas da educação básica e professores das escolas estudadas. Foi entrevistada, também, uma técnica em educação da Secretaria de Estado da Educação da Bahia, a fim de se obter informações acerca da política de progressão parcial em outro estado brasileiro e estabelecer uma análise comparativa entre experiências diferentes. Foram interlocutores na análise dos dados, autores como Azanha (1992), Brooke (2012), Condé (2011), Castro e Regattieri (2009), Crahay (2006), Cury (1997), Fanfani (2000), Gajardo (2000), Garcia e Schimidt (2007), Gomes (2004), Hanff, Koch e Lemos (2007), Hoffmann (1994), Jacomini (2009), Lück (2000 – 2009), Oliveira (1997 - 2003), Paro (2001), Pedrosa e Sanfelice (2005), Peregrino (2010), Perrenoud (2000), Pimenta (1997), Polon (2009), Ribeiro (1991), Teixeira (2003), Veiga (2003). Os dados da pesquisa demonstraram que a política de progressão parcial não alcançou os resultados esperados nas escolas estudadas, considerando-se as reais demandas na sua implementação. Foram destacados como principais elementos que impediram o sucesso da política: ausência de orientações específicas sobre o processo de progressão parcial, inadequação das práticas pedagógicas dos professores às necessidades de recuperação do aluno, fragilidade no exercício da liderança pedagógica dos gestores e inexistência de tempo e espaço pedagógicos para atendimento ao aluno. Nesse contexto, apresentou-se o Plano de Ação Educacional, contemplando ações que visam o melhor desenvolvimento do processo de progressão parcial e, consequentemente, a aprendizagem do aluno e a minimização das taxas de repetência.
This study covers the implementation, the state schools of Minas Gerais, partial progression policy, a mechanism that allows the student to advance to the next grade in the subjects they obtained satisfactory recovery, offering opportunities for those in recovery which presents difficulties. Mining in state schools, the progression is partially granted in situations of poor performance in a maximum of two subjects, failure occurring if the student exceeds this limit. In this arrangement, the student has two opportunities to overcome their difficulties: one in the first half, in the form of targeted studies and another in the second half as independent study. The objective of the research is to analyze, in the school context, the operationalization of the progression part in the final years of primary education, indicating the strengths and weaknesses with a view to proposing an Action Plan of Education. To this end, we selected two state schools belonging to the Regional Superintendent of Education Metropolitan C, one in Belo Horizonte and another in Ribeirão das Neves. The methodological approach favored qualitative research through documentary analysis, interpretation of legislation and semistructured interviews with directors, education specialists and teachers of basic schools and studied. Interviewee was also a technical education in the State Department of Education of Bahia, in order to obtain information about the partial progression policy in other Brazilian state and establish a comparative analysis of different experiences. Were partners in data analysis, authors such as Azanha (1992), Brooke (2012), Condé (2011), Castro and Regattieri (2009), Crahay (2006), Cury (1997), Fanfani (2000), Gajardo (2000), Garcia and Schimidt (2007), Gomes (2004), Hanff, Koch and Lemos (2007), Hoffmann (1994), Jacomini (2009), Lück (2000 – 2009), Oliveira (1997 - 2003), Paro (2001), Pedrosa and Sanfelice (2005), Peregrino (2010), Perrenoud (2000), Pimenta (1997), Polon (2009), Ribeiro (1991), Teixeira (2003), Veiga (2003). The survey data showed that the partial progression policy has not achieved the expected results in the schools studied, considering the actual demands in its implementation. Were highlighted as key elements that have impeded the success of the policy: the absence of specific guidance on the process of progression partial inadequacy of pedagogical practices of teachers to the recovery needs of the student, weakness in the exercise of educational leadership of managers and lack of time and space educational service for students. In this context, presented the Educational Plan of Action, including actions aimed at developing the best part of the process of progression and, consequently, student learning and to minimize repetition rates.

Mestrado em MarketingEste trabalho é, um Plano de Marketing para a recuperação do Centro Comercial Solátia. Para tal, foi feita uma pesquisa para tentar encontrar soluções a alguns dos problemas existentes, e tentar perceber quais são os melhores procedimentos a adoptar para atingir aquele objectivo. Foram inquiridos 51 clientes. Desde o início da década de 2000 este centro comercial tem vindo a quebrar, de um modo geral as principais causas foram: o aparecimento de grandes centros comerciais nas proximidades, e as crises económicas da década de 2000. Estas situações têm contribuído para uma redução do volume de vendas das lojas existentes ou mesmo para o encerramento de outras lojas. A pesquisa foi de caracter exploratório. Trata-se de um estudo cujo método é misto, ou seja, quantitativo e qualitativo. As técnicas de recolha de dados utilizadas foram o questionário e entrevistas não estruturadas. As grandes conclusões da pesquisa são de que os clientes gostam deste centro comercial mas gostariam de ter uma maior oferta de lojas, de produtos e de um ou mais pontos de atracção. Muitos afirmaram que, caso estas situações ocorressem, frequentariam mais o centro comercial, uma vez que de um modo geral, residem ou trabalham nas proximidades, e por este motivo preferiam ter mais comércio perto de si. Pretende-se posicionar este centro comercial como um centro comercial local que oferece uma diversidade de produtos e serviços de qualidade e criar condições atractivas para os clientes. Este projecto permitiu perceber a importância do Marketing e da Comunicação neste centro comercial.
This is a Marketing Plan for the recovery of Solátia Shopping Center (Centro Comercial Solátia). To be able to do so a research has been made search is to try for solutions to some real problems, of "Centro Comercial Solátia", and to try to understand what are the best ways to proceed to get to this objective. 51 clients have been inquired. Since the 2000 decade this shopping center has been decaying. Main causes were the construction of big shoppings nearby, and economics crisis of decade 2000. These situations have contributed to reduction of volume of sales of existent shops or the closing of others. The research is exploratory. Its a mixed study, because is quantitive and qualitative. The techniques used to collect data was a questionnaire (in paper) and unstructured interviews. The most relevant conclusions of the research are that customers like this shopping center but would like to have more variety of shops and products and one attraction point. Some customers state that if these situations would occur they would go there more times, because the majority of them lives or works nearby. The purpose is positioning this shopping center as local shopping center, that offers a variety of products and services of quality and to create attractive conditions for costumers. This project helps to understand the importance of Marketing and Communication in this shopping center.

Full textAbstract:
Both smoking addiction and illicit substance abuse are prevalent issues in the United States today. Furthermore, these are issues that have significant impact on women’s health and mental state. Despite research that shows that smoking cessation coupled with substance abuse recovery can decrease likelihood of relapse post-recovery, few substance abuse recovery facilities today offer smoking cessation programming options. To address the issue of smoking addiction on top of substance abuse recovery, formative research was conducted through this study to determine the underlying causes of smoking habits coupled with recovery efforts and the attitudes. Through focus group sessions with women in a residential treatment facility in the southeastern US, a determination of the specific audience’s motivations to smoke and perceived self-efficacy to quit smoking was made. Based on the findings of this formative research, a full social marketing plan was then developed to offer an intervention program option for smoking cessation among a target audience of women undergoing residential treatment for substance abuse. The study conducted and the social marketing developed from it proposes a pilot program that may be implemented in other similar settings with similar populations in the future.

Full textAbstract:
The networking field has become a core component for any company. All of the
businesses rely on the networking industry, due its vastness and significance. Every day
companies are planning and thinking to develop better strategies that can offer efficient
and reliable communication solutions between their employees and customers for
maximum revenue. The planning of a company’s network requires a lot of resources and
aspects to study, and to evaluate them carefully to build a comprehensive secure and
reliable platform. It is the job of a network administrator to take care of the company’s
network infrastructure and upgrade or update the required components and applications
from time-to-time that can follow new standards.
This thesis is a practical work aimed to evaluate a company network infrastructure in its
real environment. The purpose of this thesis is to evaluate different aspects of the
network infrastructure used such as VPN, WLAN, firewall and physical security and give
recommendations to make their performance better and to offer more advanced strategies.
This study will also provide an inclusive observation of the company’s needs and their
network infrastructure, and will provide a concept how to evaluate and fix small mistakes,
the kind of problems that can occur in an evolving company network. Lastly, this research
will make recommendations and suggest a possible implementation on the studied
network infrastructure.

Full textAbstract:
L’elaborato ha lo scopo di illustrare i cambiamenti che hanno interessato il settore bancario, in materia di gestione delle crisi.
Nel primo capitolo ho spiegato quali sono state le cause che hanno portato il Legislatore Europeo a rivedere la disciplina delle crisi bancarie. I motivi sono da ricondurre al contesto economico-finanziario che ha caratterizzato l’Europa e non solo, segnato fortemente dalla crisi dei mutui subprime degli anni 2007/2008.
Nel secondo capitolo ho analizzato la struttura della direttiva 2014/59/UE -BRRD-, il nuovo quadro normativo relativo alla prevenzione, gestione e risoluzione delle crisi bancarie. La BRRD, insieme al regolamento SRM, rappresentano la rivoluzione nelle modalità di affrontare le situazioni di dissesto di un istituto di credito.
In Europa, le nuove regole sono state utilizzate, ancor prima che diventassero pienamente operative. Per questo motivo, nella terza parte ho affrontato le prime applicazioni: la risoluzione della crisi di Cipro, Slovenia, Portogallo ed Austria; per poi concentrami nella contesto italiano ed in particolare nella crisi delle “famose” quattro banche popolari.
Infine, nell’ultimo capitolo, ho implementato una versione sperimentale del recovery plan per una banca di classe III. Tale piano è il nuovo strumento, previsto dalla Direttiva, di cui devono dotarsi tutte le banche. In Italia, il processo di implementazione è ancora molto arretrato, solo Banca Intesa Sanpaolo ha già predisposto il proprio piano.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to investigate how digital activism is conducted on Twitter, particularly in relation to the dialogues and demands for Europe’s green economic recovery plan from COVID-19. It seeks to analyse the communication made using #GreenRecovery on Twitter by various actors over the period of May to June 2020, guided by the theory of public sphere and social movement and literature on digital activism, hashtag activism, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and Corporate Political Activity (CPA) using a qualitative and quantitative content analysis.By analysing the frequency patterns of tweets and by uncovering the different types of communication, this paper sheds light on the users involved as well as the issue frames and mobilisation strategies that were visible in the #GreenRecovery discourse . Results of this study demonstrate that #GreenRecovery is used by varying actors on Twitter such as individuals, social movements, businesses and others. Furthermore, the hashtag has been used to raise awareness, communicate particular information, mobilize action and also employ assertion as dominant digital spectator activity. Tweets with #GreenRecovery was primarily framed towards the need for a redesign of the economy, indicating demands for changes in policies by targeting accounts of political actors from the EU Commission. It is further implied that during the discourse, #GreenRecovery acted as a structural signifier as a response to the leaked proposal of the Recovery Plan demonstrating that it has the potential to create hashtag communities.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Då kriser inträffar allt oftare är det av stor vikt för organisationer att ha en utvecklad strategi för att hantera dessa störningar. Ett sätt för att hantera risker och kriser är Business Continuity Management som involverar hela processen med planering av åtgärder i förväg, krishantering samt utvärdering efter krisen. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att identifiera och analysera teorierna kring Business Continuity Management samt huruvida dessa tillämpas praktiskt i stora svenska tillverkande företag. Vidare ämnar studien skapa en djupare förståelse kring hur de studerade företagen, med hjälp av jämförelser och granskning, agerar under en rådande krissituation. Metod: Uppsatsen bygger på en kvalitativ forskningsmetod med där den empiriska materialinsamlingen har skett via semistrukturerade intervjuer. Ytterligare empiriskt material är de studerade företagens års- och kvartalsrapporter. En komparativ forskningsdesign har tillämpats, vilken möjliggör för jämförelser mellan de studerade företagens användning av BCM. Slutsats: Studien kan konstatera att inget utav de studerade företagen tillämpar Business Continuity Management fullt ut. Däremot nyttjas modeller och strategier som ligger i linje med den teoretiska referensramen för BCM.Background: As crisis occur more and more frequently around the world, it is vital for organizations to have an implemented strategy to cope with these disruptions. One way to manage these crises is Business Continuity Management which involves the entire process of planning actions in advance, crisis management and post-crisis evaluation. Purpose: The purpose of this thesis is to identify and analyse the theories related to Business Continuity Management and whether these theories practically applies in Swedish manufacturing companies. Furthermore, the study aims to create a deeper understanding of how the studied companies, by means of comparisons and review, act in a crisis situation. Method: The thesis is based on a qualitative research method where the empirical material collection has been done via semi-structured interviews. Further empirical material is the annual and quarterly reports of the companies studied. A comparative research design has been applied, which allows for comparisons between the studied companies' use of BCM. Conclusion: The study finds that none of the studied companies fully applies Business Continuity Management. However, models and strategies that are in line with the theoretical frame of reference for BCM are used.

Full textAbstract:
The swift parrot (Lathamus discolor, Psittacidae) is an endangered, austral migrant that inhabits forests and woodlands of south-eastern Australia. With a small population size (2500 birds), broad winter distribution (1 250 000 km2) and often cryptic nature, the swift parrot is a challenging species to study. In autumn they migrate north from their Tasmanian breeding grounds in search of suitable food resources throughout their winter range on mainland Australia. They are therefore dependent on a combination of suitable wintering, migration and breeding habitats. Although they spend a large proportion of their lives within winter habitats, the spatial and temporal dynamics of habitat use in this part of their range is poorly understood. This thesis aims to provide a greater understanding of large-scale winter habitat use by swift parrots, in both historic and current contexts, and provide a basis for future conservation management.
¶
Swift parrots, or red-shouldered paroquets as they were previously known, were among the first Australian birds to be scientifically described and illustrated following European settlement in 1788. However, within 60 years of settlement, habitats throughout the range of the species were being impacted upon. An important aspect of this habitat loss is the speed and spatial extent with which it occurred throughout the parrots broad distribution. Although the most extensive habitat loss in some areas occurred during colonial times, habitats continue to be lost as a result of various land management practices. Such impacts are also likely to be exacerbated by the ongoing cumulative impact with rapid climate change. As a result the swift parrot is an endangered species and is the subject of an ongoing national recovery program, to which this thesis contributes.
¶
Conserving habitat for the swift parrot, and other wide-ranging fauna species, is challenging since impacts in one area tend to be dismissed based on the assumption that there is sufficient habitat in other areas. These conservation challenges are discussed in regard to the national swift parrot recovery program. Although recovery program implementation for this species has been successful in identifying and protecting some important habitats, there are still many gaps in our knowledge that need to be addressed through a continuing and adaptive recovery effort, including an understanding of variable habitat use throughout their winter range.
¶
A study of swift parrot winter habitat use was therefore conducted at 53 sites across New South Wales over five years (2001-2005). Swift parrots used a diversity of winter foraging habitats in coastal and/or western slopes regions of New South Wales each year, including several habitats that occur in endangered ecological communities. Landscapes containing winter foraging habitat included scattered trees, remnant vegetation and continuous forests, and swift parrots foraged extensively on lerp and nectar from a diversity of tree species within these. The occurrence of swift parrots at foraging sites was primarily associated with the abundance of lerp, nectar and non-aggressive competitors. Although swift parrot abundance fluctuated significantly between years and regions, over half of all foraging sites were used repeatedly, highlighting their likely importance for conservation.
¶
Patterns of habitat use throughout the species winter range were also studied across five states/territories using volunteer data from 4140 surveys. These surveys were conducted by up to 300 volunteers twice a year, for seven years (1998-2004) with swift parrots detected in 19% of surveys. As a result, this study provided the first demonstration of large-scale drought related movements by a migratory population throughout their winter range. It also demonstrated the dynamic spatial and temporal patterns of winter habitat use, including repeated use of sites, by an austral migrant. Four regions in central Victoria were used most consistently, although the birds also visited other regions each year.
¶
During drought swift parrot abundance was significantly correlated with rainfall, whereby most of the population either concentrated in a few regions or migrated longer distances (up to 1000km) to drought refuges in wetter coastal areas. However, swift parrot abundance was not associated with specific climate variables during years of average to high rainfall throughout most of their range. Instead they appeared to prefer habitats within particular regions. Importantly this study emphasises that conservation measures need to be implemented throughout the distribution of migratory species, including drought refuge habitats and areas outside conservation reserves.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrund: Tidigare forskning indikerar att höga ljud i öppna kontorslandskap har negativ inverkan på kontorsanställdas prestation och välmående på arbetet. Trots att flertalet studier har gjorts kring olika kontorsmiljöer finns inte mycket forskning om hur ljud i öppna kontorslandskap påverkar behovet av återhämtning efter arbetstid. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka i vilken utsträckning upplevelsen av höga ljudnivåer och störande ljud på arbetsplatsen har samband med behovet av återhämtning efter arbetstid, bland anställda som arbetar i öppna kontorslandskap. Metod: Metoden bestod av en kvantitativ enkätstudie av tvärsnittsdesign. Behovet av återhämtning mättes utifrån en kortversion av Need for Recovery (NFR) Scale. Ljudnivåer och ljudstörningar mättes utifrån formuläret Ljudstörningar och höga ljudnivåer i arbetsmiljön. Enkäten skickades ut till kontorsanställda på 16 olika arbetsplatser runtom i Sverige, varav sammanlagt 61 respondenter medverkade i studien. Resultat: En hierarkisk multipel regressionsanalys visade ett positivt samband mellan höga ljudnivåer, ljudstörningar och återhämtningsbehov. Ett signifikant samband (p < .05) kunde konstateras mellan ljudstörningar och återhämtning som var oberoende av ljudnivåer. Däremot påvisades inget signifikant samband mellan ljudnivåer och återhämtningsbehov oberoende av ljudstörningar. Slutsats: Resultatet indikerar att störande ljud i öppna kontorslandskap har betydande påverkan på behovet av återhämtning efter arbetstid. Även om inget signifikant samband mellan prediktorvariablerna och utfallsvariabeln kunde påvisas kan ljudnivåer ändå vara betydande för upplevelsen av störande ljud och behovet av återhämtning. För att kunna dra kausala slutsatser är fortsatt forskning genom prospektiva studier nödvändigt.Background: Research indicates that open plan offices are accompanied by high noise levels which have a negative impact on performance and wellbeing at work. However, little is known about how noise levels and noise annoyance associate with need for recovery (NFR) among employees in open-plan offices. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there is an association between experiences of high noise levels, noise annoyance and need for recovery among open-plan office workers. Method: The study was performed with a cross-sectional design. Need for recovery was measured with a short version Need for Recovery (NFR) Scale and noise levels and noise annoyance was measured with Noise Annoyance and High Noise Levels in Work Environments. The questionnaire was sent out to 16 workplaces in Sweden and contained responses from 61 employees. Results and conclusions: Hierarchical multiple regression analysis showed a positive association between experienced high noise levels, noise annoyance and NFR. A significant (p < .05) association was found between noise annoyance and NFR, independent of noise levels. However, no significant association was found between noise levels and NFR when both predictors were included in the same model. Results suggest that noise annoyance, compared to noise levels, has a more important impact on NFR. Even if no significant association were found between both predictors and the outcome variable, noise levels might influence the experience of noise annoyance, and therefore also be important for NFR. However prospective studies are needed for causal inferences.

Diante da constante necessidade de funcionamento ininterrupto dos sistemas computacionais, das mais diversas organizações, é imperativo que existam meios de continuidade dos negócios e recuperação de desastres implantados, testados e prontos para serem invocados. Diante disso, torna-se essencial a existência de uma maneira de avaliar se as informações, os procedimentos e o nível do conhecimento dos colaboradores da organização estão adequados para enfrentar uma ocorrência inesperada e devastadora no ambiente computacional da organização. A presente tese propõe um modelo hierárquico para se representar e avaliar a qualidade dos Projetos de Planos de Continuidade de Negócios (PPCN) aplicados a sistemas computacionais. Este modelo apresenta o mapeamento das principais características que esses planos devem possuir, de acordo com as principais normas relativas ao tema (BS 25999, ABNT NBR ISO/IEC 27001 e ABNT NBR ISO/IEC 27002), as experiências de especialistas da área e dados reais dos usuários dos PPCNs obtidos por meio da utilização de questionários. É proposto neste trabalho, também, um Índice de Qualidade (IQ) para os PPCNs que permite a comparação de um PPCN existente com um PPCN ideal, identificando-se os pontos fracos nele existentes e munindo a organização com informações para a busca de soluções que resultarão na melhoria do PPCN atual.Given the need for computer systems uninterrupted operation, for the most different organizations, it is imperative that business continuity and disaster recovery plans be already in place, tested and ready to be invoked. Given this, it is essential for there being a way to assess whether the information, procedures and organizations employees knowledge level are adequate to deal with an unexpected and devastating event in the organization\'s computing environment. This thesis proposes a hierarchical model to represent and assess the organizations computer systems Business Continuity Plan Project (BCPP) quality. This model maps the main features these plans should have, in accordance with the main standards related to this area (BS 25999, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO/IEC 27002), specialists experience and real data from BCPPs users obtained from questionnaires. As a complementary proposal, a BCPP Quality Index (QI) is suggested, which will allow organizations to compare their existing BCPP against an ideal BCPP, identifying the gaps between these plans and providing the organization with information for seeking solutions that will result in the improvement of current BCPP.

As atividades antrópicas vêm continuamente influenciando as transformações no ordenamento do solo. A mineração, em suas fases de operação e desativação, é um dos maiores agentes de mudança do uso do solo e alteração da paisagem, o que, consequentemente, resulta em modificações na dinâmica das funções ecológicas, interferindo na oferta de serviços ecossistêmicos. Considerando a inclusão da abordagem dos serviços ecossistêmicos na avaliação ambiental de empreendimentos, a partir de um estudo de caso em uma mineração de rocha fosfática (apatita), localizada no município de Cajati - SP, o presente estudo teve como objetivo responder a seguinte questão: a atividade de mineração interfere na oferta local de serviços ecossistêmicos? Para isso, o método de análise utilizado foi fundamentado em um modelo de avaliação não monetária, com base nos padrões da atividade de mineração ao longo do tempo e do espaço, bem como na capacidade das diferentes classes de uso e ocupação do solo dessa atividade em fornecer serviços ecossistêmicos. O estudo concluiu que todos os serviços ecossistêmicos avaliados são afetados pelos impactos ambientais gerados pela atividade minerária, sendo que a alteração na extensão da área ocupada por floresta nativa - tanto redução quanto aumento - é o que mais influenciou no fornecimento de serviços ecossistêmicos potenciais. Além disso, a atividade minerária ao alterar o padrão de uso e ocupação do solo e, consequentemente, alterar as funções ecológicas locais, reduziu progressivamente a oferta de múltiplos serviços ecossistêmicos e, por outro lado, a recuperação das áreas degradadas pela atividade minerária, recobrindo o solo com espécies de gramíneas e promovendo o plantio de espécies arbóreas nativas, resultou no aumento da oferta local dos serviços ecossistêmicos potenciais. A partir destes resultados fica evidente a importância das ações de recuperação de áreas degradadas pela atividade minerária para o aumento da oferta de serviços ecossistêmicos. Dessa forma, recomendou-se inserir a análise de serviços ecossistêmicos na avaliação de impactos ambientais de empreendimentos minerários, visto que a ferramenta de avaliação baseada em serviços ecossistêmicos permite identificar conflitos e sinergias entre as atividades antrópicas e os ecossistemas, fornecendo subsídios para identificar medidas adicionais de mitigação de impactos e de compensação ambiental.Human activities have continuously influenced changes in land management. Mining in its operational and decommissioning stages, is one of the biggest agents of change in the landscape and land use, which consequently results in changes in the dynamics of the ecological functions, interfering with the supply of ecosystem services. Taking into account the ecosystem services approach in environmental project assessments and based on a case study of a rock phosphate mining operation, located in the town of Cajati - SP, this study aimed to answer the following question: does the mining activity interfere in the local supply of ecosystem services? As such, the method of analysis was based on a framework of non-monetary assessment itself based on the established patterns of the mining activity over time and space, as well as the ability of different land uses to provide ecosystem services. The result of the study was that all the analyzed ecosystem services are affected by the environmental impacts of the mining activity, and that change in the extension of the native forest (as decrease as increase) is what most affects the potential supply of ecosystem services. Moreover, as the mining activity alters the pattern of land use and occupation and consequently alters the local ecological functions, it progressively reduces the provision of multiple ecosystem services. On the other hand, the recovery of degraded areas by mining activities, covering the soil with grass species and promoting the planting of native species, allowed for the growth of the local supply of potential ecosystem services. From these results, the importance of area recovery actions is evident in increasing the supply of ecosystem services. Thus, the inclusion of the analysis of ecosystem services in the environmental impact assessment of projects is recomended, as the assessment tool based on ecosystem services allows us to identify synergies and conflicts between human activities and ecosystems, providing input to identify additional actions for impact mitigation and environmental compensation.

A Gestão da Continuidade expande-se por todas as unidades de negócio da organização, incluindo o departamento de Tecnologias de Informação, e muitas vezes estende-se para além das fronteiras organizacionais, de forma a incluir parceiros tecnológicos. No que diz respeito aos Sistemas de Informação o planeamento de Gestão da Continuidade do negócio requer o desenvolvimento e implementação de procedimentos e tecnologias alternativas de forma a assegurar que a informação crítica para a organização continua sempre disponível e que as funções críticas da organização são rapidamente restauradas, quando ocorrerem interrupções súbitas e imprevistas, nas quais é negado o acesso à informação. Os procedimentos de recuperação devem ser definidos de forma a gerir os colaboradores da organização, assegurando a sua segurança e preparando-os para executarem todos os procedimentos alternativos, num Centro de Processamento de Dados redundante, equipados com os Sistemas de Informação e Comunicação necessários para a reposição da capacidade operacional da organização. A protecção da informação e a recuperação de desastres são os pontos chave na Gestão da Continuidade do negócio, temas desenvolvidos ao longo da presente dissertação. A protecção da informação refere-se à componente de desenvolvimento e implementação de sistemas, procedimentos e soluções que asseguram o acesso contínuo à informação dentro da organização. O processo de recuperação de desastres engloba todos os procedimentos complementares de forma a garantir que os Sistemas de Informação, as aplicações críticas e a informação são restaurados de forma rápida e eficaz em caso de ocorrência de um evento com impacto negativo na organização. -

A pesquisa objetiva a composição de cenários de planejamento para o Plano Diretor utilizando-se de medidas de recuperação ambiental através de uma bacia selecionada. São avaliadas simulações hidrológicas através: a) da implantação de: medidas de reúso de águas pluviais com microreservatórios instalados no lote, b) da arborização urbana, c) do reservatório de detenção, d) do coeficiente de permeabilidade, e outras medidas para micro e macro-drenagem. A metodologia utiliza uma base regional para espacializar através de bacias embutidas (MENDIONDO E TUCCI, 1997) a classificação de uso e ocupação do solo para os anos: 1962, 1972 e 1998. Os resultados oferecem diretrizes para novos empreendimentos, loteamentos urbanos e políticas públicas. A situação de passivo ambiental da bacia justifica o estudo em micro-bacias urbanas embutidas. As simulações envolvem cenários retrospectivos de 40 anos, atual e prospectivos de 15 anos com e sem Plano Diretor. Os critérios adotados resultam para o planejamento ambiental melhorias na carga de poluição hídrica e prevê a recuperação de suas funções hidrológicas e ambientais. Inclui-se uma análise de incertezas a partir dos diferentes estados de condições de umidade antecedente que afetam o valor de CN. A partir destes resultados, recomenda-se avaliar novos cenários de planejamento, instrumentação de monitoramento para bacias sem dados que visem o estudo aplicado do aproveitamento de águas pluviais no lote associado às incertezas das previsões hidrológicas dessas bacias sem dados, conforme o programa PUB - Predictions in Ungauged Basins (SIVAPALAN et al, 2003)The research aims to compose planning scenarios for Master Plan using measures of environmental recovering to control of urban drainage at the scale of an ungauged basin selected. Hydrologic simulations are assessed by the implementation of several measures as: a) indirect impacts of rain water use system in the urban lot, b) urban arborization, c) detention reservoir, d) permeability coefficient and complementary measures at micro and macro drainage. The methodology uses regionally-based nested basins (MENDIONDO e TUCCI, 1997) with a classification of land-use in years: 1962, 1972 and 1998. Results will offer directive to new urban achievements and water policies. Environmental passive situations (diagnosis) at the basin scale justify experimental studies in nested urban micro-basins. The simulations involve retrospective scenarios through 40 years, present state (1998) and prospective scenarios of 15 years with and without master plan. Criteria adopted result in best management practices (BMPs) in water pollution and foresee recovery of hydrologic environmental functions. Analysis of uncertainties of hydrologic estimations to different antecedent moisture conditions through the CN parameter is also presented and discussed. From these results it is recommended to assess new planning scenarios that aim experimental study, thereby looking forward to proposing new concepts of rain water use, i.e. by using micro reservoir at domiciliary lot. These scenarios are to be depicted into the hydrologic uncertainties at basins without data especially addressing the PUB program - Predictions in Ungauged Basins (SIVAPALAN et al, 2003)

There is a possibility that a new waste incineration plant will be built next to the wastewater treatment plant, and therefore solutions that benefit from a co-operation have been discussed. The results show that biogas production would be suitable and profitable in a long time perspective if the gas is used for combined heat and power production. Though, the rather high, economical interest rates in Moldova are an obstacle for profitability.

Full textAbstract:
The introduction and spread of invasive species are of major conservation concern. Invasive plant species are hypothesized to impact the population dynamics of native flora, including species at risk (SAR), and may disrupt the functioning of the plant communities which they invade. Some native plant populations may be more vulnerable due to pre-existing factors such as fragmented habitat, poor competitive nature, and/or limited geographical ranges. Because of this, the presence of one or more invasive species is frequently cited as a leading cause of at-risk species decline. However, the actual evidence for this link is weak and the mechanisms are unclear. In this study, I aimed to (1) determine the effect of invasive management schemes on the recovery of native plant communities and to (2) examine the role of factors such as method of removal and duration of invasive removal at two conservation areas in southern Ontario. After 12 candidate study areas were surveyed, two were chosen for the study (for logistical reasons). Specifically, pairs of ‘control’ and ‘invasive’ removal sites were established at St. Williams Conservation Reserve, near Turkey Point Provincial Park, ON (N = 10) and Bruce Peninsula National Park, ON (N = 8) through May - August 2018. Plots were surveyed for native and invasive plant species richness and abundance using transect methods. I found a significant difference in the abundance of native and invasive plants between control and treatment plots at St. Williams Conservation Reserve and Bruce Peninsula National Park, although the trends were in the opposite direction. Neither site had a significant difference in plant diversity between treatment types. I discuss my findings in light of the differences in land use history and management at the two areas and their implications for invasive removal schemes to manage for native plant conservation.

Full textAbstract:
The native woodland herb, goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), is threatened in Canada. Recovery to a non-risk category is particularly desirable given its medicinal and potential crop value. Woodland herbs probably evolved in an environment with severe and frequent disturbances, including massive floods and impacts of extinct and extirpated fauna. Lack of specific disturbance may limit growth and spread. Ecological observations and analysis (Part I) refined this hypothesis. Comparison of recent and 10 year old surveys, and stem numbers over two years, indicated lack of growth and spread. Pollination and dispersal appeared nonlimiting based on observation of abundant polylectic bees and syrphid flies and rapid removal of fruit. Chi-square tests, comparing frequencies of goldenseal and random points along transects throughout woodlands, revealed a significant association with paths and edges. This suggested a positive disturbance effect and justified an extensive random block field experiment (Part II). Each block contained four one metre square treatment plots: substrate turned, fertilized, both, and control. Transplants in 100 blocks and seeds in 40 blocks were evaluated over two years. Multi-factor analysis of variance, through an extension of the Kruskal-Wallis test, followed by multiple comparisons using modified Tukey tests, was used to analyse the highly variable and discontinuous data. Significantly greater growth occurred in substrate turnover plots after one year. Each year soil turnover plots had significantly more fruit, and after two years, soil turnover + fertilization plots had significantly more fruit and seeds per fruit. Lack of significant increase in germination was attributed to dry conditions. Results represent the first experimental evidence for a positive effect of substrate disturbance on growth and reproduction of a woodland herb exclusive of canopy gap effects. Management involving transplanting with substrate turnover may be essential for recovery according to projection matrix analysis (Part III) of two sets of transition years for 14 populations. The overall growth rate was 0.986 +/- 0.133 (SD) per year. Survival of established stems and vegetative propagation were critical for spread given lack of seedling development. The hypothesis that some woodland herbs are rare due to lack of certain disturbances that were more prevalent in the past was supported.

Full textAbstract:
This study began in the summer of 2007, when parts of the UK experienced exceptionally high rainfall and were devastated by flood water. It is an ethnography of the residents and responders in one flooded village: of the relationships that are formed, the houses that are rebuilt, the personal items that are missed or thrown away, and the places that are lost or compacted. It is also a reflection on the changing role of the researcher as an insider in emergency planning who became entangled in the life of the village. The health and social consequences of flooding, and more specifically the loss of home, a sense of security, space and possessions, have been documented in a number of studies. Some of these consequences have also become the focus of UK government attention. How well people recover from flooding events is seen to have a direct bearing on individual, community and economic wellbeing. A plethora of instruments: checklists, templates and guidance documents have been produced by government planners to effect this recovery. In this study I define these as technologies of recovery within a wider context of emergency planning which has at its core the aim of bringing order to complex and messy times. Technologies of recovery endeavour to place a framework over a complex process where much is uncertain, reactive and dependent on individual and ad hoc social relations. Like many other areas of health and social policy, while such protocols are not necessarily unwelcome, they carry many assumptions. I demonstrate that these are built on official narratives where much has been left unseen or unsaid. The final product is distilled and compromised; blind to the situated practices that remain hidden. Drawing on literature from science and technology studies, human geography and disaster research this study shows how technologies of recovery are transformed in localised practice; enabling actions to happen that are entwined with a community's own existing strength and resilience. The contribution of this thesis is to show, through a case study that makes visible the practices that are often hidden, how localised emergency responders find ways to collaborate with residents. In an informal network they do different with the instruments to co-produce regeneration and survivance within a community.

Full textAbstract:
Companies that perform data backup lose valuable data because they lack reliable data backup or restoration methods. The purpose of this study was to examine the need for a Six Sigma data backup performance indicator tool that clarifies the current state of a data backup method using an intuitive numerical scale. The theoretical framework for the study included backup theory, disaster recovery theory, and Six Sigma theory. The independent variables were implementation of data backup, data backup quality, and data backup confidence. The dependent variable was the need for a data backup performance indicator. An adapted survey instrument that measured an organization's data backup plan, originally administered by Information Week, was used to survey 107 businesses with 15 to 250 employees in the Greater Cincinnati area. The results revealed that 69 out of 107 small businesses did not need a data backup performance indicator and the binary logistic regression model indicated no significant relationship between the dependent and independent variables. The conclusion of the study is that many small businesses have not experienced a disaster and cannot see the importance of a data backup indicator that quantifies recovery potential in case of a disaster. It is recommended that further research is required to determine if this phenomenon is only applicable only to small businesses in the Greater Cincinnati area through comparisons based on business size and location. This study contributes to positive social change through improvement of data backup, which enables organizations to quickly recover from a disaster, thereby saving jobs and contributing to the stability of city, state, and national economies.

Full textAbstract:
Solvents play a crucial role in the Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing and are used in large quantities. Most of the industries incinerate the waste solvents or send it to waste management companies for destruction to avoid waste handling and cross-contamination. It is not a cost effective method and also hazardous to the environment. This study has been performed at AstraZeneca’s API manufacturing plant at Sodertalje, Sweden. In order to find a solution, a solvent recovery system is modeled and simulated using ASPEN plus and ASPEN batch modeler. The waste streams were selected based on the quantity and cost of the solvents present in them. The solvent mixture in the first waste stream was toluene-methanol in which toluene was the key-solvent whereas in the second waste stream, isooctane-ethyl acetate was the solvent mixture in which isooctane was the key-solvent. The solvents in the waste stream were making an azeotrope and hence it was difficult to separate them using conventional distillation techniques. Liquid-Liquid Extraction with water as a solvent followed by batch distillation was used for the first waste stream and Pressure Swing Distillation was used for the second waste stream. The design was optimized based on cost analysis and was successful to deliver 96.1% toluene recovery with 99.5% purity and 83.6% isooctane recovery with 99% purity. The purity of the solvents was decided based on the quality conventions used at AstraZeneca so that it can be recovered and recycled in the same system. The results were favorable with a benefit of €335,000 per year and preventing nearly one ton per year carbon dioxide emissions to the environment. A theoretical study for the recovery system of toluene-methanol mixture was performed. The proposed design was an integration of pervaporation to the batch distillation. A blend of polyurethane / poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PU / PDMS) membrane was selected for the separation of methanol and toluene mixture. The results of preliminary calculations show 91.4% toluene recovery and 72% methanol recovery with desired purity.

Full textAbstract:
The HydroFloat technology was specifically developed to upgrade phosphate sands that are too coarse to be efficiently recovered by conventional flotation methods. In this novel process, classified feed is suspended in a fluidized-bed and then aerated. The reagentized phosphate particles become buoyant and report to the product launder after encountering and attaching to the rising air bubbles. Simultaneously, the hydrophilic particles are rejected as a high solids content (65-70%) underflow. The fluidized bed acts as a â resistantâ layer through which no bubble/particle aggregates can penetrate. As a result, the HydroFloat also acts as a density separator that is capable of treating much coarser particles as compared to traditional flotation processes. In addition, the high solids content of the teeter bed promotes bubble-particle attachment and reduces the cell volume required to achieve a given capacity. To fully evaluate the potential advantages of the HydroFloat technology, a 5-tph test circuit was installed and evaluated in an industrial phosphate beneficiation plant. Feed to the test circuit was continuously classified, conditioned and upgraded using the HydroFloat technology. The test results indicated that the HydroFloat could produce a high-grade phosphate product in a single stage of separation. Product quality ranged between 70-72% BPL (bone phosphate of lime = 2.185 x %P2O5) and 5-10% insols (acid insoluble solids). BPL recoveries exceeded 98% at feed rates greater than 2.0 tph per ft^2 of separator cross-sectional area. These results were superior to traditional column flotation, which recovered less than 90% of the valuable product at a capacity of less than 1 tph per ft^2.Master of Science
