Cette thèse adopte une perspective de recherche en sciences sociales pour examiner les usages de l'application SMSlivräddare (eng. SMSlifesaving), devenue Heartrunner, ayant pour objectif de solliciter des bénévoles à proximité de personnes presumées victimes d'un arrêt cardiaque extra-hospitalier. Cette étude de cas sur les usages de cette application médicale et de santé juxtapose les « portraits » publics de l'application, de ses utilisateurs potentiels, de leurs rôles actifs et de leurs pratiques d'usage et les témoignages des utilisateurs bénévoles. Cette analyse explore les dimensions des rôles actifs de l'application et de ses utilisateurs tels qu’ils sont délégués par les « portraits » de la technologie et tels qu’ils sont perçus par ses utilisateurs. Cette analyse rend visibles les aspects des rôles actifs et des pratiques des utilisateurs bénévoles au moment de la mise en œuvre de cette technologie dans deux premières régions, avant son adoption ultérieure dans d'autres régions de Suède ainsi qu’au Danemark. La perspective de la recherche médicale a jusqu'à présent dominé les études sur les applications de secourisme. Ces études ont évalué les résultats de l'usage de l'application par les bénévoles et se sont concentrées sur l'examen de l'efficacité de ces applications, par des indicateurs tels que le nombre d'utilisateurs arrivés sur place et le nombre de ceux qui ont participé à la réanimation des personnes victimes. Dans le même temps, ces travaux ont contribué à la construction de discours prometteurs et à des approches instrumentales appliquées pour comprendre les significations et les usages des applications médicales et de santé. En revanche, en s'appuyant sur l'analyse discursive et thématique du matériel de recherche qualitative, cette thèse cherche à mettre en évidence les perspectives des utilisateurs dans leur co-construction de la technologie de secourisme à travers leurs pratiques d'usage de l'application. Par une approche théorique socio-matérielle, elle explore de manière critique les rôles actifs des utilisateurs tels qu'ils sont délégués par les discours des développeurs du projet, des gestionnaires et des évaluateurs de cette technologie médicale et tels qu'ils sont négociés par les utilisateurs dans leurs pratiques quotidiennes. Cette thèse examine tout d'abord les « portraits » de l'application publiés en ligne, de ses utilisateurs et de leurs rôles actifs, mais aussi dans les pratiques de recrutement des utilisateurs et enfin dans une publication de recherche médicale évaluant cette technologie de secourisme. Ensuite, la thèse examine comment les bénévoles décrivent les motifs de leur décision de devenir usagers de l’application, le contexte social de leurs décisions et les significations qu'ils attribuent à leurs pratiques. Troisièmement, la thèse examine comment les récits des bénévoles, en juxtaposition avec les « portraits » en ligne de la technologie SMSlifesaving, représentent les pratiques d'usage de l'application par les bénévoles aux differentes étapes: avant la réception des notifications les informant des cas d'arrêts cardiaques, au moment de la réception de ces notifications, et après leur acceptation.Contribuant au champ de la recherche sociale critique sur les applications médicales et de santé, la thèse met en relief que les utilisateurs de l'application SMSlifesaving et les technologies qu'ils co-construisent ont des rôles actifs. Elle illustre les rôles actifs délégués et négociés par les utilisateurs ; ces derniers lorsqu'ils surmontent les dépendances quotidiennes de l'application et mesurent l'importance de leur travail bénévole, par l’intermédiaire de leur usage de l’application, par rapport à leur travail rémunéré et à leurs engagements de vie privée, développent un engagement consciencieux envers l'application et redéfinissent les promesses médicales de l'application pour les personnes victimes et leurs familles
This thesis embraces a social science research perspective to examine uses of the app SMSlivräddare (eng. SMSlifesaving), now Heartrunner, dedicated to alert volunteers nearby to assist people suspected to suffer from a cardiac arrest outside hospital. This case study of the uses of the health and medical app juxtaposes the public portrayals of the app, its prospective users, their agencies and use practices with the volunteer users’ own accounts. The analysis explores dimensions of the app’s and its users’ agencies as delegated by the technology’s portrayals and perceived by its users. It renders visible also possibly obscured aspects of the volunteer users’ agencies and practices at the time of the technology’s implementation in the two first regions, before its subsequent adoption in other Swedish regions and in Denmark. A medical research perspective has so far dominated the studies of lifesaving apps. Such research evaluates the patients’ health outcomes resulting from the app use by the volunteers and concentrates on the examination of the efficiency aspects of the app, such as how many users arrived and how many engaged in resuscitating the patients. At the same time, it contributes to the promissory discourses and instrumental approaches applied to understand the meanings and uses of health and medical apps. In contrast, building on the discourse and thematic analysis of the qualitative research material, this thesis seeks to highlight the users’ perspectives in their co-constructing of the SMSlifesaving technology through their app use practices; it embraces a socio-material theoretical approach and critically explores the users’ agencies as delegated by the discourses of the project developers, managers and evaluators of the medical technology and as negotiated by the users in their daily practices. This thesis, first, investigates the public portrayals of the app, its users and their agencies published online, in the user-recruiting practices, and in a medical research publication evaluating the SMSlifesaving technology. Next, it examines how the volunteers’ accounts describe the rationales of their entry into their SMSlifesaving app use practices, the social context embedding their entry and the meanings which they ascribe to their practices. Third, the study investigates how the volunteers’ accounts in juxtaposition to the online portrayals of the SMSlifesaving technology represent the volunteers’ app use before their receptions of the app’s notifications which inform them about cardiac-arrest cases nearby, at the time of reception of such notifications, and following acceptance of such notifications.Contributing to the field of critical social research on health and medical apps, the thesis identifies that both the SMSlifesaving app users and the technologies they co-construct have agencies. It illustrates the users’ agencies delegated and negotiated; the latter when they overcome the app everyday dependencies and judge the app-mediated volunteer work importance versus their paid work and private life commitments, develop dutiful engagement with the app and re-define the app’s medical promises for the patients and their families

A previsão de demanda que combina métodos quantitativos e a opinião de especialistas é uma técnica amplamente utilizada na tentativa de aproximar a previsão da demanda real. A presente dissertação apresenta uma revisão bibliográfica sobre combinação de previsões e propõe um método combinado a partir de métodos quantitativos e opinião de especialistas. A revisão sistemática da literatura foi realizada em trabalhos atuais e de relevância para o tema em estudo, com o auxílio de cinco bases de dados. O referencial teórico, que totaliza 38 publicações, apresenta conceitos teóricos sobre combinação de previsões, bem como exemplifica, através de aplicações práticas, como esta técnica está sendo utilizada pelas empresas. Com base nesta revisão foi possível estruturar um método combinado de previsão de demanda. O método proposto não só combina matematicamente as previsões quantitativas e qualitativas, como também pondera, através da matriz de comparações do método AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), a opinião de cada especialista responsável por gerar as previsões qualitativas. Esta dissertação, além de descrever detalhadamente o método proposto, ilustra a aplicação deste através de um estudo de caso realizado em uma empresa metal-mecânica. Tal estudo foi realizado para diferentes modelos de produtos, considerando um horizonte de previsão de doze meses. Ao final, o método AHP mostrou-se uma forma eficiente de ponderação da opinião dos especialistas. O resultado mostra que a previsão combinada proposta apresentou os menores erros entre as previsões analisadas, não só melhorando a acurácia total da previsão em mais de 23%, como também aumentando a acurácia para a maioria dos meses analisados e dos modelos testados. A partir da revisão bibliográfica e do método proposto, oportunidades para estudos futuros foram identificadas.
Demand forecasting that combines quantitative methods and judgmental adjustments is a technique widely used in the attempt to approximate forecast to actual demand. This thesis presents a literature review on combination of forecasts, and proposes a combined method using quantitative methods and expert opinion. A systematic literature review has been carried out analyzing works that were considered relevant to the topic under study, gathered from five databases. The review, which is comprised of 38 references, introduces theoretical concepts about combination of forecast, and exemplifies through practical applications how companies are using this technique. Based on this review it was possible to structure a combination model. The model presented not only combines mathematically the quantitative and qualitative forecast, but also assigns importance weights to experts using the comparison matrices of AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process). We describe in details the model proposed and illustrate it through a practical application in a manufacturing industry. The case study considers several products in a 12-month forecast horizon. AHP has proven to be efficient for assigning weights to experts. Using the combination model proposed in this thesis we obtained improvements in the overall forecast accuracy of more than 23%; accuracy was also improved for the majority of periods and products analyzed. The literature review and proposed model led to the proposition of several opportunities for future research.

International tourism to South Africa has increased steadily from 1994 to 2008. The year 2009 saw international arrivals to South Africa decline significantly and it became evident that the worldwide recession impacted not only on tourism arrivals in other countries, but also in South Africa. This sudden drop in international tourism sparked renewed interest into the demand for South Africa as a destination. It became evident that understanding the factors that influence foreign countries’ demand for South Africa as a tourism destination is crucial to anticipating future changes and formulating policy. Of particular importance are South Africa’s main tourism markets. From an intercontinental perspective, the United Kingdom is the most important market with 15 per cent of intercontinental tourists stemming from the UK in 2009 (Government Communications of South Africa, 2012). The UK is followed by Germany with 8 per cent, with the USA taking third position with 7 per cent in terms of intercontinental arrivals. As a market that grew substantially in importance over the past decade (moving from fifth position in 1994 to third position in 2009), and due to the size of the potential market, the USA is another market that warrants investigation. An Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) and a Rotterdam model is used to examine tourism demand for South Africa by UK and USA tourists This is done to quantify UK and USA tourism demand for South Africa, specifically the elasticities associated with tourism demand. Five other destinations were included along with South Africa (Italy, Malaysia, New Zealand, Spain and USA in the case of UK tourists) to examine the substitute and complementary effects that a change in tourism price brings forth. For the USA case, five destinations were chosen (Italy, Spain, New Zealand, Spain and the UK). The two models are compared to establish whether one model can better explain tourism demand from the UK and the USA to South Africa than the other model. The models provide policy makers with useful information on the sensitivity of tourism demand to changes in relative prices, exchange rates, expenditure, seasonality and the global recession of 2008. Short–term elasticities, that are critical when focusing on policies regarding own–price, cross–price and expenditure elasticities, were derived from both models. iv The results for the Rotterdam model show that price competiveness is important for UK and USA demand for all the countries in the study but, in particular, the long haul destinations ? South Africa and Malaysia. This was expected as these two destinations are seen as ‘luxury’ destinations for both UK and USA tourists. In the South African case, Malaysia, Italy and the UK are seen as substitutes by US tourists and Malaysia, Spain and USA seen as complementary destinations for South Africa by UK tourists. The results for the EC–AIDS model show that, in terms of expenditure elasticities, almost all of the countries are close to unity, which can be attributed to the dynamic nature of the EC–AIDS model, in that tourists’ choices are taken in account. It was also shown that, in terms of price competiveness for the UK and the USA, demand in South Africa is relatively unimportant. This means that tourists are not discouraged from visiting South Africa when prices increase. South Africa is viewed as a substitute destination for Italy, Spain and the USA for UK tourists but as a complement to Malaysia. USA tourists view South Africa as a substitute for Italy, Malaysia and the UK but as a complement to Spain. The two models were compared using a J–test and it was found that the EC–AIDS model dominates the Rotterdam model for UK tourists in the South African case but is indifferent for USA tourists when choosing a model.

Syfte – Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka vilka problem den offentliga organisationen har vad gäller informationsflödet inom organisationen samt föreslå en lösning på detta. För att uppnå syftet kommer följande frågeställningar att besvaras: Vilka problem har en offentlig organisation med informationsflödet? Hur kan en kravspecifikation bidra till en effektivisering av informationsflödet inom en offentlig organisation? Metod – För att uppnå studiens syfte och besvara frågeställningarna har en kvalitativ studie utförts på en offentlig organisation. Först utförs semistrukturerade intervjuer, efter det har det teoretiska ramverket skapats ur litteraturstudier för att ge en kunskapsgrund inom området. Ur detta framkommer riktlinjer för skapandet av en kravspecifikation, som ligger till grund för ett mer effektivt informationsflöde inom en offentlig organisation. Den empiri som insamlats på beskrivet sätt har sedan analyserats och jämförts med den insamlade teorin. Detta för att jämföra verkliga det arbetslivet med teorin. Även litteraturstudier har genomförts eftersom det är viktigt att få en stabil bakgrund gällande metoder, teorier och verktyg. Med sin grund i kravspecifikationen skapandes ett lösningsförslag efter att ett val har gjort vilken typ av lösning som är lämplig för ändamålet. Detta gjordes i samrådande med den berörda organisationen. Kravspecifikationen har analyserats mot empirin och teorierna samt skett i samrådande med den berörda organisationen. En demonstration av den slutliga lösningen och uppföljningsintervju utfördes även för att få feedback lösningsförslaget effektiviserade den berörda organisationen informationsflöde. Resultat – Studiens resultat bygger på den insamlade empirin och den utförda litteraturstudien. Resultatet visar att utvecklandet av en artefakt i form riktlinjer för en kravspecifikation som ligger till grund för en vidareutveckling för att effektivisera informationsflödet, har resulterat i en förbättring av informationsflödet inom en offentlig organisation. Kraven som framkom genom semistrukturerade intervjuer har använts vid skapandet av kravspecifikationen. Detta för att få ett bra resultat som löser den berörda organisationen krav och behov, vad det gäller att effektivisera informationsflödet inom en offentlig organisation. Implikationer – Ambitionen i denna studie är att skapa riktlinjer för en kravspecifikation som ligger till grund för en effektivisering av informationsflödet inom en offentlig organisation. Genom studiens resultat fås riktlinjer fram som borde användas av andra utvecklare eller studenter vid liknade projekt. Blomkvist och Hallin (2015) menar att vissa exjobb ger ett metodologiskt bidrag till forskningen detta genom att på ett nytt sätt lösa en organisations praktiska problem. Detta är denna studies kunskapsbidrag. Kunskapsbidraget vad det gäller forskningen inom ämnet informatik, bidrar den till en förbättring av förmedling av information. Detta genom att ta fram och använda riktlinjer för en kravspecifikation som ligger till grund detta. Studien ges stöd genom att ta fram ett riktlinjer för en kravspecifikation i form av en artefakt som ligger till grund vid utvecklingsarbetet. Ytterligare studier kan ses som önskvärt då denna studie endast har inriktat sig på en organisation och för att forskningen ska bli optimal och behöver ytterligare studier inom området utföras. Begränsningar – En studie utfördes på en offentlig organisation och därför blir studien relevant för denna organisation samt för liknade organisationer. Studiens ämnesområden är av varierande djup, eftersom det inte tidsmässigt varit möjligt att gå lika djupt inom alla ämnen.
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to investigate what kind of problems a public organization has with their information flow and suggest a solution to the identified problems.To achieve the purpose, will the report answer the following questions: What problems do a public organization have with the information flow? How can a specification contribute to efficiency the flow of information within a public organization? Method – In order to achieve the objectives of the study and answer the research questions, a qualitative study is conducted in a public organization. First, semi-structured interviews have been conducted, and then a literature search is performed to provide a knowledge base in this field. From this emerges a specification that forms the basis for a more efficient flow of information within a public organization. The empirical data, which is collected in the manner described, is then analysed and compared with the collected theory. This is to compare the real working life with the theory. Even literature studies have been carried out because it is important to have a stable background current methods, theories and tools. With its basis in the specification, the proposed solutions was developed after an election has made the kind of solution that is fit for purpose. This was done in consultation with the organization concerned. The requirement specification has been analysed by the empirical data and theories, and occurred in consulting with the organization concerned. A demonstration of the final solution and follow-up interviews were also conducted, to get feedback about the solution improvement of the information flow within the public organization. Findings – The study results are based on the collected empirical data and the conducted literature review. The result shows that development of an artefact in the form of guidelines for a set of requirements that form the basis, for further development solution improvement of the information flow has resulted in an improvement of the information flow within a public organization. The requirements that have been identified; with semi-structured interview have been used to create the specification demands. This is done to get a good result that solves the organizations requirements and needs, in terms of information flow in a public organization. Implications – Blomkvist and Hallin (2015) argues that some thesis provides a methodological contribution to research this, a new way to solve an organization's practical problems. This is this study knowledge contribution. Knowledge contribution in terms of research in informatics, it contributes to an improvement in the distribution of information. This is through the development and use guidelines for a set of requirements that underpin it. The study provides support by producing a guidance on a specification in the form of an artefact that is the basis for development. Further studies may be seen as desirable as this study has only focused on the organization and for research to be optimal and needs further studies in the field carried out. Limitations – The study was conducted in a public organization and therefore the results of the study are specifically relevant for this kind of organizations.

Customer Demand Uncertainty is a big obstacle for companies to sustain their competitiveness in the market that responding customer requirements becomes essential. Besides companies need to consider also their cost structures which should have in high consistency to survive as well. Lean and Agile terminologies have been investigated so far in cost and responsiveness to customer manner within internal system perspective i.e. product volume and variety. This thesis aims to link lean manufacturing steps with customer demand uncertainty condition following information systems, marketing issues and human factor for management level in framework that firm’s (manufacturer) current condition can be tested according to answers from questionnaires and implementation of assessment tables since it is used as guideline and provides on which level firms are in demand uncertainty, lean and agile manufacturing. This support enables to firms to create their own flexible leagile decoupling point according to their interior characteristics and capabilities in the market.

This study investigated how Work-Family Conflict was related to Role Salience and Job level (investigated in terms of the amount of job demand and job control associated with different job levels) among women from a Collectivistic culture. A sample of 65 teachers was used. Although the results of the study showed no correlations between Work-Family Conflict and both role salience and job level, this was attributed to the high data skewness, thereby reducing the chances of detecting correlations. The high positive data skewness was possibly caused by the floor effect, which was the situation that the sample consisted of only female teachers from a Collectivistic culture. The high negative data skewness was possibly caused by the ceiling effect, which is the situation that the women in this sample have a Collectivistic cultural orientation, and are therefore highly likely to consider their home role as more salient. Moreover, correlations between Work Family Conflict and Job demand have been found to be higher in Individualistic cultures compared to Collectivistic cultures. There also seems to be no differences in job control among teachers occupying different job levels, and hence, no correlations were detected. Further analyses depicted that the teachers within this sample considered their home role as more salient. Moreover, despite their commitment to both their home role and occupational role, the data indicated that the sample experienced low levels of Work Family conflict.

Research has shown that the working environment of physical education influences teacher motivation. Identifying the characteristics of teachers’ working environment may contribute to developing a productive and motivating working environment for physical education teachers.

The first part of this dissertation study was focused on developing and validating an instrument that measures physical education teachers’ job demands/resources perception on five theorized dimensions: organizational resources, physical resources, cognitive demands, physical demands, and emotional demands. The content validity was achieved through expert evaluation of the consistency between the items and the dimensions they represent. The evaluation rendered an average consistency rating of 3.6 on a 5 point scale. The construct validity and reliability were determined with a physical education teacher sample (n=193). Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) established a five-dimension construct structure matching the theoretical construct with factor loadings ranging from .57 to .85. The intraclass correlational coefficients ranged from .75 to .80 for job resources and from .80 to .83 for job demands, respectively. The inter-scale correlational coefficients ranged from .14 to .25, showing both convergent and divergent validity. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed the construct structure found in the EFA with high dimensional factor loadings ranging from .47 to .81 for job resources scale and from .51 to .86 for job demands scale. The model fit tests produced acceptable indices including the RMSEA < .05. It is concluded that the instrument met the required psychometric standards to be useful to measure physical education teachers’ perception of their working environment.

The second part of the study was to determine the extent to which the perceived job demands and resources influence physical education teachers’ motivation regulatory processes and motivation. An a priori model was proposed for testing based on the integration of the Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Job Demands-Resources Model. Certified physical education teachers in two southeastern states (n=193) provided self-reported data on perceived job demands and resources in the working environment, motivation regulatory processes, and motivation to teach. Structural equation modeling analysis revealed that increasing job demands in working environment enabled the teachers to adopt more autonomous regulatory processes, such as integrated regulation (γ = .20) but not more controlling regulatory processes, such as external regulation (γ = -.16) and introjected regulation (γ = -.22). The findings of the study provide empirical evidence that relate perceptions of working environment to physical education teachers’ motivation to teach.

This thesis assesses how technology policy, R&
D activities and innovativeness interact to yield higher economic performance in Turkish manufacturing industries. The first aim of this thesis is to analyze the role of R&
D support programs as one of the instruments of technology policy on the demand for researchers. We evaluated the impact of R&
D support receiving on the demand for researchers by estimating a two stage treatment effect model that solves the problem of selection bias and found that receiving R&
D support encourages firms to demand more researchers. The second aim of this thesis is to analyze the determinants of generating product and process innovations. We evaluated the determinants of generating product and process innovations by estimating a bivariate probit model and found that the determinants of generating product and process innovations were related but they varied with the technological level and opportunity of the industry. The last aim of this thesis is to analyze the effect of product and process innovations on employment. We hypothesized that these two types of innovations have different impacts on employment and test this hypothesis by estimating two different econometric models: the first one is a treatment effect model controlling for the endogeneity of innovations and the second one is a selection model that controls for survival status of the firm. We found that the impact of product innovations on the employment growth rate is negative and the impact of process innovations on the employment growth rate is positive regardless of technology level of industries.

This investigation was designed to explore the relationship between pupils' cognitive level of development and their response to design and technology curriculum. The purposes of the investigation were to (a) analyse the cognitive level of the pupils, (b) analyse the cognitive demands of design and technology in the National Curriculum, (c) develop a series of cognitively based questions dealing with design and technology, (d) determine whether pupils respond successfully to design and technology that was appropriately matched to their cognitive level of development. To accomplish these goals, pupils from schools across two inner London Boroughs were selected. The investigator selected and analysed design and technology in the National Curriculum using a design and technology taxonomy developed for the investigation. The taxonomy was designed using a Piagetian-type framework and modelled after the taxonomy developed by Shayer and Adey. The investigator developed practical tasks and some written questions that were administered to the pupils. All responses to the investigator's practical tasks and written questions were recorded and analysed using not only the Structure of Observed Learning Outcome (SOLO) Response taxonomy, but also developmentally. Data from Piaget's test of formal reasoning was collected and compared to the pupil's performance in design and technology tasks. The results indicated that (a) analysing pupil's responses to questions that were cognitively rated provided a developmental sequence of the characteristics of the different cognitive levels. (b) pupils will respond to questions that are matched to their cognitive level of development. (c) the pupil's cognitive level of development and not the age of the student are related to hislher mean cognitive level of response. (d) in predicting a pupil's mean cognitive level, the most significant variables will be the mean cognitive level of the question and the pupil's design and technology achievement. (e) a taxonomy for estimating the level of thinking demanded by design and technology can be developed. (f) pupils in the early years tended to repeat actions (operation) illogically, then become increasingly logical (systematically) as they progress through the years. (g) technological thinking judged from the tests administered, involves factors that include 'general ability (intelligence)" 'perceptual analysis (spatial ability)', 'function/structure', 'practical ability', 'systematic/logical thinking', and 'science reasoning'. Curriculum implications for the development of design and technology curriculum, teaching and in-service training are drawn.

Housing is a basic necessity that should be available to everyone at every income level. The danger of becoming a cost burdened household (household spending 30% or more of the area median income on housing costs) is high for all income levels. However, extremely low income households are one of the demographics that are the most susceptible because they have limited affordable housing units available to them at their income level. Addressing this gap between income and affordability in housing is something that is particularly important to ensure that these extremely low income households have enough money for not only housing but other basic necessities such as food. Various incentives and programs are out there to try and provide these extremely low income households with the affordable housing they need however, it does not always happen in the areas that are the most in need. This study will examine the supply and demand of affordable housing for extremely low income households in Tucson, Arizona. The research identifies areas that have clusters of extremely low income households that are cost burdened as well as the affordable housing units available to them. Based on this information funding sources are discussed and recommendations regarding how to implement more affordable housing units in the areas of need are discussed.

The nursing profession is pivotal to the delivery of healthcare services within the UK National Health Service (NHS). However, studies have shown that an increasing number of older nurses are leaving the NHS as a result of the physical and cognitive demands of the nursing job. In particular, a growing body of literature suggests that ward nurses are at risk of sustaining work-related injuries due to the demands of their job. Responding to these challenges, the aim of this PhD research project was to develop a framework to support NHS ward nurses in the ward environment, by exploring how the architectural design features of NHS hospital wards could be improved to create a better fit between ward nurses and their work environment, by applying the Person-Environment Fit theory. The Nursing Tasks and Environmental Assessment Framework (NTEA Framework) consists of two components. The Nursing Tasks Demand Matrix (NTDM), which provides a nuanced understanding of nursing tasks on wards and the Ward Environment Assessment Tool (WEAT), which is used to conduct Post-Occupancy Evaluation of hospital wards. The two together forms the NTEA Framework, which offers a holistic approach to improving nurses’ quality of life in the workplace. The NTEA Framework may be used by facilities managers, human resource managers, occupational health advisors, ward managers and the NHS management, for refurbishments decisions, in drafting nurses’ job descriptions, to perform occupation health screening and for the assessment of the adequacy of NHS healthcare estates for ward nurses. The NTEA Framework is also a benchmarking information tool that could inform design of healthcare facilities.

Thesis is devoted to current trends in approaching cost allocation developed in IBM Cognos TM1 software. Concept, which was originally elaborated in my bachelor thesis, has recently experienced restrictions caused by increasing requirements on analytical tools and information they provide. Goal of the thesis is therefore to analyse causalities of emerging weaknesses, design and develop optimalized and reengineered solution answering current demands. Reqarding the quantitative evaluation of attained results, the thesis is extended with analysis of frameworks and standards dedicated to benchmarking of OLAP tools and their synthesis into own complex model. Proposed model specializes on measuring multiple OLAP applications across four main perspectives including performance, development, usability and financial benefits. Attained results prove, that reengineered model is faster, data richer, easier to use and appropriate for any organization with structured and algorithmic approach to cost allocation. Second half of the thesis focuses on extending the presentation layer to web browser, designing and developing of custom visualizations for most usual analytic tasks. Considering the absence of advanced application interface in IBM Cognos TM1, the thesis also includes theoretical analysis of current trends in API development and design of concept allowing communication and data transportation between applications and TM1 server. In the concluding section of the thesis, proposed concept is materialized into universal library developed in PHP and applied to novel allocation model. Leveraging the library, two exemplary interfaces for allocator operation and data consumption are implemented. Gained knowledge can serve as basis for development of additional components communicationg with TM1 in variety of projects or theoretical framework for API implementation in general.

Floating offshore wind farms are likely to become the next paradigm in electricity generation from wind energy mainly because of the near constant high wind speeds in an offshore environment as opposed to the erratic wind speeds in their onshore counterparts. By using floaters adapted from oilrigs, floating offshore wind farms can be operated with larger wind turbines for increased power generation. In the United States, floating offshore wind farms located off the coast of New England would be near large load centers and accessible to transmission load lines with low capacity utilization. Apart from the technological challenges of building floating offshore wind farms stemming from the developmental stage of the floater technology, there are three major logistical challenges prospective operators would likely encounter in harvesting electricity. The first challenge is to understand the interaction between distances from shore to locate a wind farm given increasing wind speeds. The second challenge is to understand the marginal impact of distance from shore on revenue generated from electricity sales from a floating offshore wind farm. And finally the third challenge is to determine inventory policy for wind turbine components in operating a floating offshore wind farm given its more complex operation and maintenance schedule. To address these challenges, this study examines a hypothetical 100 units of 5MW wind turbines to understand the economics of locating a floating offshore wind farm.
(cont.) It is important to know the intersection between the increase in revenue generated with distance from shore and increase in operation & maintenance costs of a floating offshore wind farm. Because there is currently no floating offshore wind farm at the time of this writing, estimated failure rate data was used to study demand patterns for offshore wind turbine components. Three of maintenance strategies were examined. The results obtained from this work will serve as a blue print for prospective operators of floating offshore wind farms in logistics planning and inventory management of wind turbine components for electricity generation.

The purpose of this study is to profile and conceptualize the contemporary energy predicaments confounding Southern Africa. We examine the dynamics of the structural interplay between the main attributes of the energy demand function and growth within the analytical framework of the political economy of development as it has evolved over time in Southern Africa. The study thus provides new perspectives on key energy policy issues thereby facilitate a deeper understanding of the real nature and root cause of the now epidemic "energy crises" affecting both 'modern' and 'traditional' fuels. It also seeks to advance the debate on how the African energy policy process can effectively be reoriented so as to foster a sustainable development agenda where issues of the environment, equity and provision of basic needs for human survival are placed at the centre stage of development. We argue that the on-going "energy-crises" in Southern Africa constitutes a complex development management dilemma ingrained in its structural state of underdevelopment whose genesis lies in the manner in which it was colonized the process by which it was simultaneously incorporated and marginalised onto the fringes of the global capitalist economy and the regional economic subsystem of migrant labour centered on RSA. Manifestations of these conditions are mirrored in the now rampant 'African Crises' of accumulation whose components have variably included: sharp rise in imported fuel costs; poor TOT; foreign exchange liquidity squeeze; mounting foreign debt; population explosion; unbridled urbanization; land-use conflicts; and deforestation. The immensi ty of the energy challenge posed by these structural condi tions has been heightened and made more apparent by the effects of (i) oil price criSis; (ii) onslaught of RSA's "Total strategy" for the destabilisation of the SADCC region and (iii) reliance on inappropriate imitative development policies promulgated on the now discredited modernization paradigm. We contend that the modernization paradigm, upon which conventional energy analysis and policy hypotheses are currently propagated, cannot be relied upon in matters relating to Africa's energy analysis no less than in general economic development. The intellectual poverty of this dominant paradigm lies in its failure to adequately incorporate the African energy question by way of offering definitive hypotheses to expedite the articulation and in depth understanding of the nature of the energy problem let alone assist in its better management. In spite of evidence which supports a robust positive correlation between energy use and growth, there still lacks an unambiguous statistical base with which to support claims of a 'rock-steady' unidirectional causality linkage from GOP to energy. We demonstrate that GOP is not the sole determinant of energy demand and that the energy-GOP interplay is a two-way process. In addition to measurement and conceptual problems affecting conventional planning tools,its derived hypotheses are founded on modern fuels which account for only 10-30% of national balances of the majority of SADCC states. The danger with this partial analysis is that it presents a highly fragmented and misleading picture of the African energy system. Indeed, when traditional fuels are brought into the reckoning the majority of the available conventional hypotheses crumble. Moreover, such a partial analysis exposes energy policies to the risk of missing out important synergistic effects such as fuel-mix, inter-fuel substitution and other demand attributes thereby rendering any polices dangerously unsound and unsafe. Thus, reliance on these hypotheses has contributed to the misplacement of the policy process by nurturing unwarranted misconceptions about the nature of the energy problem facing Africa and thus the definition of key issues requiring attention. We conclude that the southern African region has undergone a particular development process which has bestowed its energy system with unique sets of demand and supply attributes. These differ from those of the West and thus profoundly alter the aim of energy analysis and policy objectives. Because energy is not an energy management issue, but a development management problem, lasting solutions must be sought from within the development purview. We underscore the theme that because energy-GDP interplay is a two-way process coupled with the fact that development and underdevelopment are two sides of the same coin , the energy issue cannot be quarantined from the wider recalcitrant of Africa's 'crises of development'. Thus, it is not possible to comprehend let alone seek solutions to such deeprooted and intertwined development dilemmas without a systems analysis of the political economy of development as it has evolved over time. We contend that it is this structural focus that has been a major missing component in past energy policy debates which the present thesis attempts to plug. In addition to informing planners and decision makers of new developments af~ecti~g the~r energy ~y~tems, the planning process must inter ~ aam . at determ~n~ng the extent of socio-economic transformat~ons necessary to improve the security of energy supplies, .living standards of the population at large, bridge technologlcal gaps and minimize environmental damage of energy development.

A smart grid is different from a traditional power system in that it allows incorporation of intelligent features and functions, e.g., meter reading, adaptive demand response, integration of distributed energy sources, substation automation, etc. All these intelligent features and functions are achieved by choosing appropriate communication technologies and network structures for the smart grid appropriately. The objective of this dissertation is to develop an AHP (analytic hierarchy process) - based strategy for demand curtailment allocation that is subject to communications and cyber security limitations. Specifically, it: (1) proposes an electrical demand curtailment allocation strategy to keep the balance between supply and demand in case of the sudden supply shortage; (2) simulates the operation of the proposed demand curtailment allocation strategy considering the impact from communication network limitations and simultaneous operations of multiple smart grid applications sharing the same communication network; and (3) analyzes the performance of the proposed demand curtailment allocation strategy when selected cyber security technologies are implemented. These are explained in more details below. An AHP-based approach to electrical demand curtailment allocation management is proposed, which determines load reduction amounts at various segments of the network to maintain the balance between generation and demand. Appropriate communication technologies and the network topology are used to implement these load reduction amounts down to the end-user. In this proposed strategy, demand curtailment allocation is quantified taking into account the demand response potential and the load curtailment priority of each distribution substation. The proposed strategy helps allocate demand curtailment (MW) among distribution substations or feeders in an electric utility service area based on requirements of the central load dispatch center. To determine how rapidly the proposed demand curtailment strategy can be implemented, the capability of the communication network supporting the demand curtailment implementation needs to be evaluated. To evaluate the capability of different communication technologies, selected communication technologies are compared in terms of their latency, throughput, reliability, power consumption and implementation costs. Since a number of smart grid applications share the same communication network, the performance of this communication network is also evaluated considering simultaneous operation of popular smart grid applications. Lastly, limitations of using several cyber security technologies based on different encryption methods - 3EDS (Triple Data Encryption Standard), AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), Blowfish, etc. - in deploying the proposed demand curtailment allocation strategy are analyzed.

Forecasting long-term urban water demand is very important in water resources planning and management. In particular, faced with the threat of urban water scarcity, strategies and policies are required, and these need to be based on reliable water demand forecasts. However, there are many problems involved in forecasting long-term water demand, such as limited knowledge about the relationship between water use and the factors affecting it, uncertainties over the future and assumptions employed, the availability of water use data, etc. In China, little effort has been devoted to water demand forecasting, although water resources planning has been widely undertaken, and urban water shortage is currently a serious problem. In the light of the above, an overall approach to forecasting long-term urban water demand forecasting in China was undertaken. After reviewing the literature, the Chinese urban water demand system was analysed systematically, in terms of the four water use sectors: residential, industrial, agricultural and commercial. Based on the results revealed by the analyses, a system dynamic simulation model was built for forecasting longterm urban water demand. A case study has also been carried out to apply the model and to evaluate its performance. Compared to static models that have been developed in the literature, the system dynamic simulation model that has been developed in this study is superior in terms of the following aspects: (1) it clearly takes the time variable into account; (2) the system dynamic model allows alternative forecasts to be obtained easily and explicitly; and (3) the step-by-step procedures used in the system dynamic simulation give explicit and clear statements about the changing processes of the explanatory variables rather than simply accepting them as inputs.

This paper examines the non-profit organization Friskis&Svettis in order to gain insight into whether governmentality is used and if it is being used in what way. Furthermore we analyzed the requirements and consequences that that may have developed out of this governance structure. To get answers to the questions asked in this paper, a qualitative approach has been taken by the use of interviews with officials at Friskis&Svettis Uppsala. The conclusions drawn from the survey is that there are factors that indicate that governmentality is used within the organization by way of the use of guidelines which can be seen as a technique to control individuals and point them in the desired direction, and the follow-ups that can verify that the guidelines are being followed by the officials. The guidelines and the follow-up have also been an organizational requirement. A subsequent impact that was found is that certain leadership styles may be rewarded and that certain criteria on the personal level in terms of which individuals fit within the organization can be created.
I denna uppsats undersöks den ideella organisationen Friskis&Svettis med syfte att få insikt i huruvida självstyrning finns, vilken är vår teoretiska utgångspunkt, samt hur den i sådana fall tar form. Ett vidare intresse har varit att analysera vilka krav och konsekvenser som kan komma att utvecklas ur denna styrningsform. För att få svar på undersökningens frågeställningar har en kvalitativ ansats använts genom intervjuer med funktionärer vid Friskis&Svettis Uppsala. De slutsatser som dragits från undersökningen är att det finns faktorer som pekar på självstyrning inom organisationen, dels passens riktlinjer som kan ses som en teknik för att styra individerna i önskad riktning, och dels uppföljningar som kan kontrollera att riktlinjerna efterföljs av funktionärerna. Riktlinjerna och uppföljningarna har även funnits som organisatoriska krav. En efterföljande konsekvens som funnits gäller hur vissa ledarstilar kan komma att premieras samt hur kriterier på det personliga planet vad gäller vilka individer som platsar inom organisationen kan skapas.
