Abstract:

This thesis explores the way in which memorable life events prompted change across the life course following experiences of childhood sexual abuse. Seven women and five men were recruited purposively within the United Kingdom. In-depth interviews were carried out which focussed on key life course concepts including time and place, linked lives and life events. Life History Calendars were jointly-produced simultaneous to the interviews, which allowed the collection of a broad and complex range of contextual and event-based data. The analysis hinged on the concept of 'emergent change', defined a

Abstract:

<p>Network and system management has always been of concern for telecommunication and computer system operators. The need for standardization was recognised already 20 years ago, hence several standards for network management exist today. However, the ever-increasing number of units connected to networks and the ever-increasing number of services being provided results in significant increased complexity of average network environments. This challenges current management systems. In addition to the general increase in complexity the trend among network owners and operators of merging several s

Abstract:

Business processes can be divided into standardisable and non-standardisable processes. Such processes are characterised by their activities, events, states and time-points. The conditions in which process activities, events, states and time-points occur determines how they are observed, recorded and acted upon. Under predictable and stable conditions an observer can record them by predetermining them and this can be done using existing process design approaches and methodologies. Such processes are termed standardisable processes; for example a process for manufacturing cars. However, under u

Il tradizionale approccio alla gestione delle emergenze negli edifici si basa sulla previsione deterministica dei principali scenari che potrebbero verificarsi, non tenendo conto degli eventi casuali e inaspettati che potrebbero presentarsi influendo negativamente sulle operazioni da eseguire in caso di emergenza. L’approccio attuale presenta diversi punti di debolezza dovuti ad un’acquisizione di dati sullo stato di emergenza scarsa e poco efficiente e a diversi “colli di bottiglia” nel processo decisionale, che appare irrigidito dal suo carattere eccessivamente gerarchico.

This diploma thesis attempts to improve the language-support for coping with the problem of negative emergence in dynamic Systems-of-Systems (SoS). Negative emergence is understood to be the emergence of unintended behaviour among constituent systems of a SoS in response to certain changes to the composition of constituent systems in the SoS. The architecture description language (ADL) "EventArch 2.0" approaches this problem by allowing the SoS-manager to define certain rules to manipulate the original behaviour of certain constituent systems at certain critical points of execution of the SoS

Abstract:

Recent investigations suggest that rhythmic movements rely on two distinct timing systems: event and emergent timing. Event timing is based on an explicit internal representation of the temporal interval marked by clear perceptual detectible events whereas emergent timing is derived from the dynamics of smooth and continuous movements. However, crucial aspects of the distinction between these mechanisms remain unclear. This thesis investigates the role of expectancy and skill in the internal representation of time in event timing and emergent timing. Chapter 1 introduces the theoretical framew

Abstract:

Natural disasters, specifically hurricanes, can cause catastrophic loss of life and property. In recent years, the United States has endured significant losses due to a series of devastating hurricanes (e.g., Hurricanes Charley and Ivan in 2004, and Hurricanes Katrina and Wilma in 2005). Several Federal authorities report that there are weaknesses in the emergency and disaster planning and response models that are currently employed in practice, thus creating a need for better decision models in emergency situations. The current models not only lack fast communication with emergency responders

In order to study the local communication structures that emerge as Twitter users directly exchange emotional messages, we propose the concept of emotion-exchangemotifs.

The 911 emergency response process is a core component of the emergency services critical infrastructure sector in the United States. Modeling and simulation of a complex stochastic system like the 911 response process enables policy makers and stakeholders to better understand, identify, and mitigate the impact of attacks/disasters affecting the 911 system. Modeling the 911 response process as a series of queue sub-systems will enable analysis into how CI failures impact the different phases of the 911 response process.

In doing so, I argue that the rupture afforded by the earthquakes opened up the possibility for the dominant practices of a complex political conservatism to be challenged through the emergence of new and previously restrain

Abstract:

<p> In this dissertation, we propose an event detection approach to aid in real-time event detection. Social media generates information about news and events in real-time. Given the vast amount of data available and the rate of information propagation, reliably identifying events can be a challenge. Most state of the art techniques are post hoc techniques, which detect an event after it happened. Our goal is to detect the onset of an event as it is happening, using the user-generated information from Twitter streams. To achieve this goal, we use a discriminative model to identify a sudden cha

Abstract:

The immediate catalyst for having taken up this study was the violent outbreak of weeks of public unrest in the Paris banlieus in the wake of the shooting of young man on the run from the police on October 27 2005. The obvious inability of local municipalities and police forces to explain, let alone to anticipate the swelling discontent with a system which is generally assumed to work effectively and to benefit all has led me to the assumption that we have entered a stage where the concept of representational democracy is seriously compromised. The sheer scale or projected growth rates of urba

Abstract:

I Social Network sono una fonte di informazioni di natura spontanea, non guidata, provviste di posizione spaziale e prodotte in tempo reale. Il Social Sensing si basa sull'idea che gruppi di persone possano fornire informazioni, su eventi che accadono nelle loro vicinanze, simili a quelle ottenibili da sensori. La letteratura in merito all’utilizzo dei Social Media per il rilevamento di eventi catastrofici mostra una struttura comune: acquisizione, filtraggio e classificazione dei dati. La piattaforma usata, nella maggior parte dei lavori e da noi, è Twitter. Proponiamo un sistema

Abstract:

Emergency Medical Service (EMS) professionals are consistently exposed to a variety of traumatic events on the job, such as cases that involve the death or injury of a patient, being physically threatened, or encountering a mass casualty incident. Not surprisingly, research has found that such traumatic exposure has major implications, as it has been related to a plethora of negative strain outcomes such as posttraumatic stress (PTS) symptoms and burnout. However, at this point, research has not empirically examined the mechanisms by which these traumatic events lead to
