description: Nations are today challenged with multiple constraints such as declining population and financial austerity, these inevitably reduce military/security forces preparedness. Faced with well resourced adversaries or those of the asymmetric type, only a Nation that arms itself “intelligently” and fights “smart” attains advantages in the world's ever more complex and restrictive
battle-spaces. Police SWAT teams and Military Special Forces face mounting pressure and challenges from adversaries that can only be resolved by way of ever more sophisticated inputs into tactical operations Lethal Autonomy provides constrained military/security forces with a viable option, but only if implementation has got
proper empirically supported foundations. Autonomous weapon systems can be designed and developed to conduct ground, air and naval operations. This monograph offers some insights into the challenges of developing legal, reliable and ethical forms of autonomous weapons, that address the gap between Police/Law Enforcement and Military operations that is growing exponentially small. National adversaries are today in many instances hybrid threats, that manifest criminal and military traits, these often require deployment of hybrid-capability autonomous weapons imbued with the capability to taken on both Military and/or
Security objectives. The Westgate Terrorist Attack of 21st September 2013 in the Westlands suburb of Nairobi, Kenya is a very clear manifestation of the hybrid combat scenario that required military response and police investigations against a
fighting cell of the Somalia based globally networked Al Shabaab terrorist group. A theoretical solution by way of an Architectural Framework is rendered as a viable solution in this monograph. It seeks to
eliminate the practice of procurement without empirically supported deliberation. Inappropriate procurement causes financial losses and inefficiency in tactical operations when a weapon system is fielded, with the overall result being loss or
diminishing of sovereignty. Notably the most expensive and painful human endeavours are unplanned military/security operations. Weapons systems must be built with a wide range of operating environments and contingencies in mind, this
can only be achieved if ample research precedes the design and development stages.

Multiple sclerosis and psychological well-being: the role of physical and psychosocial factors
Creators: name: Healy, Christine
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: Multiple sclerosis, (MS), presents affected individuals with an uncertain future, and has broad physical and psychosocial implications for their daily functioning. This study aimed to investigate the psychological well-being of people with MS with an emphasis on positive psychological functioning. It also aimed to extend previous research that suggested reporting perceived benefits during adversity may be indicative of cognitive adaptation. Disease-related variables (mobility, fatigue) and psychosocial factors (optimism, coping) were examined to ascertain the effects of living with MS upon well-being. Well-being was determined using two general measures (The Profile of Mood States (POMS), Shacham, 1983; and the Ryff Psychological Well-being Scale (PWB), Ryff & Keyes, 1995), and Mohr et al.'s (1999) MS psychosocial factors (Demoralization, Deteriorated Relationships, Benefit Finding). Participants were 154 people with MS who were recruited through the MS Societies of Victoria and Tasmania. Results showed participants reported both negative and positive consequences from their MS experiences. Higher levels of Demoralization and Deteriorated Relationships were related to decreased well-being. However, no association was found between Benefit Finding and psychological well-being. Benefit Finding was also unrelated to optimism, and the disease-related variables (mobility, fatigue). Only positive reappraisal coping was predictive of reporting of benefits which lends support to the notion that it is a coping strategy. To examine the effects of mobility the sample was divided into three groups: normal gait, mild gait problems but not using aids and those who require aids for mobility. Significant differences between the mobility groups were found on Demoralization and fatigue levels. As participants' difficulties with mobilisation increased so too did their levels of demoralisation. However, those with mild gait problems reported fatigue levels comparable with those experiencing more complex gait difficulties. No differences were found between the groups on the general psychological measures, which may indicate some form of resilience or psychological adaptation occurring. More generally, results showed that participants who were more optimistic, less fatigued, and used less of particular coping strategies (either less avoidant coping or less blaming self or others) to deal with their MS problems reported higher well-being (less demoralisation, less psychological distress and higher positive functioning). In conclusion, the use of multi-dimensional outcomes enabled a comprehensive examination of well-being and highlighted the effects of specific illness-related factors and coping strategies. As demonstrated in this study, despite the adversity of living with MS, people are able to maintain a healthy sense of self and their relationships, and report benefits from their experiences.

description: The present research investigated the intergroup allocation behavior of members of low-status groups. In two studies where status relations were either relatively illegitimate (Study 1, N = 139) or legitimate (Study 2, N = 114), undergraduate students completed a minimal group resource allocation task that took into account the intergroup status hierarchy. In both studies, members of low-status groups showed two forms of in-group favoritism. They selected resource allocation choices that (a) compensated for their low status and led to intergroup fairness (compensatory favoritism) and (b) competed with the out-group for status and led to positive distinctiveness for the in-group (competitive favoritism). These results suggest that members of low-status groups use in-group favoritism to make their group (a) as good as the high-status out-group and (b) better than the high-status out-group. The findings support the idea that in-group favoritism can serve different functions.

description: Structured Query Language (SQL) statements are widely used in the database application and are essential part of database testing. In development stage of a database application, SQL statements may be used incorrectly because of syntactic change which is termed as mutant. To determine the correctness of SQL statements proper test dataset generated through a proper guideline can lead to find faults in SQL statements. Dr Sarker proposed a number of guidelines to generate test datasets for checking the faults for three important types of mutants in SQL. These guidelines are found to be effective to reduce faults in SQL statements.
Design and Analysis of Solar Thermal System for Hot Water Supply to Minilk II Hospital New Building

description: Solar energy technology has led to the development of a number of solar appliances used for lighting, electricity, cooking and solar thermal systems. The most hopeful among them is the solar thermal system, to achieve the energy necessity for different applications at domestic as well as at the industry level. In this research work an attempt has been made to design and analyses solar thermal system for hot water supply to Minilik II Hospital new building. The selected solar collector and the heat storage are also designed based on: the amount of hot water supplied to the hospital throughout the day and the energy needed to heat the demanded hot water. Mechanical system of hot water distribution in the hospital, building structure, array of solar collector and thermal storage system of the project will be investigated. Transient performance of the system is computed using a numerical heat transfer model of a single glass cover flat plate collector solar water heater with riser and header type active system. The various design parameters are gathered from the inside country solar water heater manufacturers and dealer companies and also from the world experience. The meteorological data for simulation was prepared by taking the average of six years starting from 2010 - 2015. From the annual contribution of solar energy to the heating load and solar fraction the estimated values of investment cost, the unit solar energy cost and the pay-back period of the system was calculated. It was found that for Minilik II hospital of total daily hot water consumption of 30.475 m3, a total of 108 collectors with two storage tanks of each capacity 18.3 m3 are needed with initial capital cost of 1,006,865 Birr per project, which will cost a total of 1,864,054 Birr per project through-out its life time and the life cycle cost saving will be Birr per project. The unit price of solar thermal energy is 0.033 Birr per KWh and the payback period of the project is 2.2 year. Since the unit cost of solar energy (0.033 Birr/KWh) is less than the unit cost of electricity (0.46 Birr/KWh) in Ethiopia, therefore water heating by solar energy is a viable alternative to heating by electricity and fossil fuel (furnace oil).

A new theory for organizational management
Creators: name: Petit, Michael
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: There have been many organizational studies, which have sought to understand what guides the operation of an organization in its interaction with the world. Many of these studies have been undertaken from an instrumentalist perspective for the purpose of understanding what makes an organization successful or otherwise. However many of the management theories and practices that have been developed appear to be partial or incomplete in their explanatory value and effectiveness. This thesis draws together dominant logic, social theory, paradox, and narrative theory into a meta-theory or synthesis for the purpose of extending our understanding of each and in the process extending our understanding of organizational management. In doing so an extension of theory is achieved and a new theory for organizational management is developed which has more powerful explanatory value than any of the individual theories in isolation. In contrast to much of the accepted organizational theory, which has been undertaken through a functionalist perspective, underpinned by metaphors of organization-as-machine and organization-as-organism, an interpretivist perspective, underpinned by the schismatic metaphor. This has allowed dimensions of organization to be explored that would not have been explored through a functionalist perspective, which has permitted the theory extension. The new theory is then presented in a schematic form or model and applied to the data, which was collected in an organizational context over the period of a year through an ethnographic process and presented in the form of a narrative.

description: The main objective of this research is identifying rainwater harvesting as alternative water supply sources in Siyadebirna wayu woreda to solve shortage of water during critical dry seasons. The research is carried out based on case-study of Ejersa kubeti kebeles (Zinjero wuha, Kubeti, Gotet dega and Kebet amba sub-kebeles), from November 2018 to May 2019. The site has about 316 individual compounds which areas 1000m with an average roof area of 62m 2 2 and 93.6% of the study area have suitable roof distribution for rainwater harvesting system. A descriptive quantitative study was carried out in order to achieve the objectives of the study. A daily rainfall data, catchment characteristics, roof material, family size, water consumption and water demand data were collected from primary and secondary sources. The community perspective and practice about rainwater harvesting was assessed. The collected data was analyzed using different tools including samsamwater RWH model, Google earth, GIS, MS Excel spread sheets. The average annual rainfall of the study area is 961.12mm. The water consumption data of the specific sub-kebeles which included in the case study collected from the community through questionnaires and from local water committee. The average water consumption of the specific study area is 143 liter per compound per day. The results from minimum rainfall depth can fulfill the amount of additional water required for five months critical dry season of the study area (33m 3 , 15,360m³ from Micro/Macro). In addition to the rooftop rainwater harvesting the courtyard rainwater harvesting can applicable as combined with roof. In other ways, the possibility large amount of water collection is high. The storage tank can be under ground and covered with geomembraine for protection of water loss through infiltration. The storage tank also constructed with other materials depends on the community capacity. from rooftop, 63m³ from Courtyard with area 150m 2 The amount of water collected from this system used as intermittent. RWH can be used to bridge the dry period with the stored water when other sources are dry. Rainwater harvesting has significant advantages for the study area including health, time saving, energy saving as well as income generation.

Year: 2024

description: Cloud computing is a new computational paradigm that offers an innovative business model for organizations to adopt IT without upfront investment. Despite the potential gains achieved from the cloud computing, the model security is still questionable which impacts the cloud model adoption. The security problem becomes more complicated under the cloud model as new dimensions have entered into the problem scope related to the model architecture, multi-tenancy, elasticity, and layers dependency stack. In this paper we introduce a detailed analysis of the cloud security problem. We investigated the problem from the cloud architecture perspective, the cloud offered characteristics perspective, the cloud stakeholders’ perspective, and the cloud service delivery models perspective. Based on this analysis we derive a detailed specification of the cloud security problem and key features that should be covered by any proposed security solution.

description: This paper derives and evaluates a mathematical structure for identifying economically-efficient transmission augmentations. The mathematical structure is based on the concepts of sequential-move and simultaneous-move games in applied mathematics. The Nash equilibrium solution concept has been reformulated as an optimization problem in the proposed structure. The problem of multiple Nash equilibria is managed by introducing the concept of the worst-case Nash equilibrium. Both the economic concepts of the 'efficiency benefit' and 'competition benefit' of the transmission capacity are explicitly modeled in the proposed structure. A simple three-bus example system and Garver's example system are employed and modified to suit the purpose of analysis. A thorough economic study of these example systems is presented to highlight the concept and operation of the proposed mathematical structure from different perspectives. The results demonstrate the utility of the proposed structure for measuring the total economic efficiency benefit of additional transmission capacity.

description: Nutrients mainly nitrogen and phosphorous exist in wastewater excessively. If uncontrolled, they lead to eutrophication problem which has adverse impacts on the social, economic and ecological values of surface water bodies. Urine is a significant contributor of phosphorus and nitrogen found in domestic waste water. Therefore, recovery of these nutrients from urine removes the excess amount of nutrients and prevents environmental pollution. In addition removal of Phosphorus in wastewater treatment plants is costly and limits its recovery and use as a resource. Recovery of nutrients from source separated urine would increase the efficiency in nitrogen and phosphorous removal and reuse capacity. The objective of this research was to examine different parameters affecting the recovery of nitrogen and phosphorous through adsorption process by using biochar produced from corn cob(CC), coffee husk(CH) and water hyacinth(WH) and determine nutrient recovery efficiencies of each biochar from human urine. In this research, the impacts of different parameters which can affect nutrient recovery from source separated urine using biochar were examined to get optimal values. The nutrient recovery process was conducted under different pH (3-8), biochar dosage (0.2-1g) and contact time (30-150min.) on urines of different storage time (15days, 1 month and 2 month). The optimum working values of pH and contact time were 6 and 60 minutes, respectively. The optimum dosages were 0.4g, 0.6g and 0.8g for 15 days, 1 month and 2 months stored urine. Highest NH4 + 3— -N and PO4 P recoveries were obtained from urine that had two months of storage time. Therefore, urine with two months storage time was selected as optimal. Under these optimum values, the nitrogen recovery efficiencies of biochars produced from CC, CH and WH were 94.13%, 77.99% and 85.78%, respectively. The recovery efficiencies of phosphorous from human urine were 68.60%, 71.14% and 57.72 % using CC, CH and WH, respectively. CC produced biochar was the best compared to CH and WH biochars. Biochars produced from wastes have good potentials for nutrient recovery from source separated urines. Besides, the use of waste as resource is in line with sustainable waste management and contributes to environmental pollution control.

description: Few studies have investigated the use of activated carbon fibres (ACFs) impregnated with metal oxides for the catalytic oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Thus, the effects of the ACF-supported metal oxides on toluene removal are determined in this study. Three catalysts, namely, Ce, Mn, and Cu, two pretreatment solutions NaOH and H2O2, and three reaction temperatures of 250°C, 300°C, and 350°C, were employed to determine toluene removal. The composition and morphology of the catalysts were analysed using Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET), transmission electron microscope (TEM), inductively coupled plasma (ICP), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), Fourier-transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR), and thermo-gravimetric analyser (TGA) to study the effects of the catalyst's characteristics on toluene removal. The results demonstrated that the metal catalysts supported on the ACFs could significantly increase toluene removal. The Mn/ACFs and Cu/ACFs were observed to be most active in toluene removal at a reaction temperature of 250°C with 10% oxygen content. Moreover, the data also indicated that toluene removal was slightly improved after pretreating the ACFs with NaOH and H2O2. The results suggested that surface-metal loading and the surface characteristics of the ACFs were the determinant parameters for toluene removal. Furthermore, the removal of toluene over Mn/ACFs-H2O2 decreased when the reaction temperature considered was>300°C.
Dance movement: a focus on the technology

description: Dance notation systems, like music notes, enable documentation of symbolic representations of movement as signs on paper for individual analysis and interpretation. Today, dance notation systems operate within a digital environment in dance notation applications that facilitate the process of recording movement. The author argues that a key objective in the development of these applications should be to provide the user with an unambiguous method to record and represent movement. These applications offer varying functionality in their use of technology for the representation of movement and can be broadly defined in three different categories. Dance notation applications make up the first category - they help notate or record specific forms of movement using dance notation. Notation-based applications, the second category, include applications that use dance notation as a basis for their development. The last category, dance technology, consists of applications that use emerging technologies to record and visualize movement. While each application has a defined use, it's important to consider how effective the technologies they employ are in successfully achieving their objectives. In this article, the author focuses on dance applications in these three categories. The author considers the limitations of existing technologies in their ability to effectively describe and record movement within a specific context.

Year: 2024

description: While many people have sought to capture and document sounds for posterity, particularly those considered in danger of extinction, the author is concerned with the process of capturing the spatial context along with the sound, archiving the sound with its spatial identity intact. This paper will consider characteristics of human auditory perception and our ability to perceive the location and distance of any sound source. Information will be provided about techniques available for the capture, archiving and reproduction of spatial audio, and will also consider how soundscape recreation or composition might produce an immersive, three-dimensional soundfield for any listening environment and how this soundfield may be delivered to a new listening audience.

description: Menschen mit Migrationshintergrund werden bei gleicher Eignung bevorzugt eingestellt. Das soll nach dem Willen der Berliner Integrationssenatorin in der Bundeshauptstadt für den öffentlichen Dienst Gesetzeslage werden, und unter dem Stichwort „Migrationsquote“ ist darüber ein heftiger verfassungsrechtlicher Streit entbrannt. Das Grundgesetz schreibt gleichen Zugang zum Staatsdienst für alle vor – was heißt das in einer Situation, wo es Menschen migrantischer Herkunft so viel schwerer haben, von diesem Zugangsrecht Gebrauch zu machen? Reicht es da, die individuelle Grundrechtsposition der jeweiligen Bewerber_in in den Blick zu nehmen? Darüber redet Max Steinbeis heute mit EMILIA ROIG, Gründerin und Leiterin des Center for Intersectional Justice in Berlin.

description: In der ersten Folge im Jahr 2021 geht es um Hate Speech – Hassrede im Internet. Diese Form der digitalen Gewalt richtet sich besonders gegen Frauen, PoC und marginalisierte Personen und das mit dramatischen Folgen. Beleidigungen, Bedrohungen, Schmähungen und Herabwürdigungen verdrängen diese Akteur*innen aus dem Netz und aus der öffentlichen Diskussion. Hate Speech ist nicht nur Machtdemonstration und gezielte Unterdrückung gegenüber einzelnen Personen, sondern bedroht den pluralen demokratischen Diskurs.

Die Juristinnen Selma Gather und Dana Valentiner sprechen in dieser Folge mit der Rechtsanwältin Verena Haisch anhand von Fällen aus der anwaltlichen Praxis über die Spannungslage von Meinungsfreiheit und Persönlichkeitsschutz, die rechtlichen Instrumente gegen Hate Speech und den Stand aktueller gesetzgeberischer Vorhaben zur Bekämpfung der Hasskriminalität sowie der Verbesserung des Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetzes. Wie immer werden diese rechtlich komplexen Themen auch für Nichtjurist*innen anschaulich besprochen.
In den feministischen Fundstücken werden ein Juristinnenreport aus den 1980ern, eine aktuelle BAG-Entscheidung zu Entgeltgleichheit und ein wichtiges Buch der feministischen Sprachwissenschaftlerin Luise F. Pusch vorgestellt. Zusätzlich gibt es auch noch eine Serien-Empfehlung.
