Abstract:

In recent years, previous research has indicated that symptoms such as delusional beliefs may have a defensive function against underlying negative schemata (Candido & Romney, 1991; Lyon et al. 1994). However, hitherto research has failed to examine information processing in psychosis across the processing spectrum. The aim of the present research was to investigate cognitive functioning in psychosis on several tasks operating at different levels of conscious and non-conscious processing in order to ascertain at what level the defence operates. The research also investigated the impact of pers

Abstract:

Deep learning is the gold standard for image classification tasks. With its introduction came many impressive improvements in computer vision outperforming all of the earlier machine learning models. However, in contrast to the success it has been shown that deep neural networks are easily fooled by adversarial examples, data that have been modified slightly to cause the neural networks to make incorrect classifications. This significant disadvantage has caused an increased doubt in neural networks and it has been questioned whether or not they are safe to use in practice. In this thesis we pr

As effective and efficient management becomes more complex and the demands of constant change are more insistent, consequently the role of information as an organisational resource assumes greater importance for management on all levels inside the organisation.

Abstract:

Stegomalware is the art of hiding malicious software with steganography. Steganography is the technique of hiding data in a seemingly innocuous carrier. The occurrence of stegomalware is increasing, with attackers using ingenious techniques to avoid detection. Through a literature review, this thesis explores prevalent techniques used by attackers and their efficacy. Furthermore, it investigates detection techniques and defensive measures against stegomalware. The results show that embedding information in images is common for exfiltrating data or sending smaller files to an infected host. Wor

Abstract:

Maintaining a fair balance between individuals’ interests and the public interest is arguably believed to be the most effective approach in serving the ultimate objective of copyright: to promote social, economic and cultural development for the benefit of both rightsholders and the public at large. Through this balanced approach, creativity can be maximised and thrive better than by tilting towards one or the other. In copyright law, such balance is reflected by the way in which the short-term grant of exclusive rights respects the long-term public interest represented by limitations and exce

Abstract:

In this essay I defend the notion of deductive explanation mainly against two types of putative counterexamples: those found in genuinely indeterministic systems and those found in complex dynamic systems. Using Railton's notions of explanatory information and ideal explanatory text, deductivism is defended in an indeterministic setting. Furthermore, an argument against non-deductivism that hinges on peculiarities of probabilistic causality is presented. The use of the notion of an ideal explanatory text gives rise to problems in accounting for explanations in complex dynamic systems, regardle

These delays are source of monetary waste, as late delivery of maintained service parts results in Saab having to pay penalty fines to the customers.

Abstract:

Government IT mega-projects often end in costly failure, despite attempts to identify those Critical Success Factors (CSFs) that lead to project success. This raises questions about whether these CSFs are understood, applied and, if so, whether they are having an impact on the management and subsequent performance of government IT mega-projects. The literature review compared CSFs from the generic and IT project management literature to find that they are broadly similar. CSF frameworks were then assessed to find a measure of the impact of CSFs and a measure of ‘performance’ was also defined.

Abstract:

Are future wars between states going to be waged in cyberspace without the necessity of mobilisation of armed forces? In the literature, on the one hand, pundits argue that cyber attacks against the critical infrastructure of states resemble war operations and consider these as the new face of bellicosity. On the other hand, it is argued that cyber weapons do not change the conduct of war because targeting critical infrastructure or defacing web pages is not sufficient to make adversary states comply. For this school of thought, war remains always a mixture of chance, passion and rationality.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited<br>This thesis discusses the need for an information technology system to facilitate cross-unit collaboration in the Botswana Defence Force (BDF). The existing traditional means of communication and information sharing among the BDF units and bases do not meet the present requirements and may negatively impact productivity and mission readiness in the BDF. The thesis begins with a background discussion of the communication problems in the BDF and examines the problem in the context of designing and implementing an Enterprise Information Po

Abstract:

This thesis presents a comparison and analysis of two Department of Defense (DoD) acquisition methods: the formal acquisition process and the Advanced Concept Technology Demonstration (ACTD). Both processes can be and are used by DoD to acquire information technology (IT), but while DoD has utilized the formal acquisition process for 30 years, the ACTD process is only 6 years old, and was specifically designed to improve upon the standard acquisition process (when applied to IT). By describing and studying the events surrounding, actors participating in, and results of one ACTD, this thesis wi

Abstract:

A DDoS attack is an attempt to bring down a machine connected to the Internet. This is done by having multiple computers repeatedly sending requests to tie up a server making it unable to answer legitimate requests. DDoS attacks are currently one of the biggest security threats on the internet according to security experts. We used a qualitative interview with experts in IT security to gather data to our research. We found that most companies are lacking both in knowledge and in their protection against DDoS attacks. The best way to minimize this threat would be to build a system with redundan
