Abstract:
The submitted diploma thesis deals with failed states and tries to find out whether the Republic of Yemen can be classified as a failed state. First of all, the diploma thesis defines the term state and its functions, and then focuses on the terminology of weak statehood that has come into existence in the international politics. The thesis concentrates on the Failed States Index and analyzes its social, political and economic indicators. The theory is later applied on the case of Republic of Yemen.

Abstract:
The aim of the work Failed States in International Relations is the examination of this phenomenon regarding the terminological discrepancy, causes of the state fragility, security and social aspects and the various attitudes from the side of the international communities. A special part is dealing with so called "successfully failed states" where despite the obvious non-functioning the state is able to survive due to the revenues from the natural resources. The ?ndings are represented on the case study of the Democratic Republic of the Congo - a country with huge potential but miserable performance by now.

Abstract:
<p>Through the increase in globalization over the last twenty years the world has become ’smaller’. The many positive aspects of the phenomenon sometimes make us overlook the negative aspects of globalization. Just as economic markets and communication has moved beyond national borders one of the most negative aspects of society has also become global, namely terrorism. As terrorism has moved on to the global spectrum so has the prevention of terrorism. National governments that are trying to combat terrorism have begun to realize that problems that other nations are facing in another continent could eventually affect their national security. Other nation states that are experiencing state failure may become a national security risk. The aim of this thesis is to examine if global terrorist organizations take advantage of the many problems that a nation faces when it is subject to state failure. It has not been to examine the phenomenon of global terrorism itself or why certain nation states fail. It has rather been to see if there is a connection between the two and if so, how do global terrorist organizations take advantage of these opportunities?</p><p>The most famous, or infamous, global terrorist organization al Qaeda has on many occasions used the fact that a state is experiencing failure to their advantage. Many of the more common problems that a failed state will face (loss of territorial control, disastrous domestic economy, and bad leadership) have been exploited by al Qaeda who have been able to build an effective infrastructure, build training cams and religious schools, and gain public support in two of the most troubled nations in the world; Afghanistan and Sudan.</p><p>The conclusion that can be drawn from this examination of the connection between global terrorism and failed states is that terrorist organizations have on several occasions taken advantage of the problems associated with state failure in order to become stronger and build a working infrastructure. It is, however, important to note that terrorism is very rarely the reason fore state failure. Furthermore, the fact that a sate is experiencing state failure does not automatically mean that it will be a breathing ground for global terrorism.</p>

Abstract:
Depuis la fin de la guerre froide, la notion de Failed State est utilisée dans les relations internationales pour décrire des États rencontrant des difficultés à exercer un monopole de la violence légitime sur leur territoire. La thèse se pose la question de savoir dans quelle mesure cette notion a pu jouer un rôle dans les rapports de domination en cours dans les relations internationales. L’étude montre que la notion a été créée par un communauté épistémique et des entrepreneurs de sens avant tout américains et proposait en effet un système de représentation selon lequel le salut des Failed State reposerait avant tout sur la mise en place de politiques très intrusives de la part des États les plus puissants de la planète. L’étude poursuit en montrant que ce système de représentation, créé à grands frais par un ensemble d’acteurs académiques, médiatiques et philanthropiques, n’a toutefois pas toujours réussi à justifier la mise en place des politiques intrusives souhaitées. A travers de nombreuses études de cas (Afghanistan, Haïti, Irak, Somalie, Palestine, Liban, Libéria, Soudan, Zimbabwe, Bolivie, Pakistan, Colombie, Burundi, Sierra Leone, Guinée-Bissau et République centrafricaine), le travail démontre que la notion de Failed State n’a pas toujours eu l’efficacité souhaitée et a au contraire été détournée, parfois avec succès, pour résister aux politiques perçues comme intrusives par des acteurs prétendument dominés. L’étude conclut que si il est théoriquement possible de dominer par les idées, il est aussi possible de résister aux idées par les idées.<p>//<p>Since the end of the Cold War, the notion of Failed State is used in international relations in order to describe States that have difficulties to exercise a monopoly of legitimate violence on their territory. The thesis raises the question of how this concept influenced the relations of domination in the international relations. The study shows that the concept of Failed State was created by an epistemic community and a group of entrepreneurs primarily based in the United States. The notion promoted a system of representation based on the idea that the salvation of the Failed States rested on their acceptance of very intrusive policies leaded by the most powerful States of the world. The study also shows that this representation system, created at great expense, has not always been able to justify the intrusive policies it was designed to legitimize. Through numerous case studies (Afghanistan, Haiti, Iraq, Somalia, Palestine, Lebanon, Liberia, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Bolivia, Pakistan, Colombia, Burundi, Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau and Central African Republic), it is shown that notion of Failed State has not always reached the efficiency desired by its creators and has instead been used, sometimes successfully, to resist policies perceived as intrusive by the allegedly “dominated” actors. The study concludes that while it is theoretically possible to rule with ideas, it is also possible to resist ideas with ideas.<br>Doctorat en Sciences politiques et sociales<br>info:eu-repo/semantics/nonPublished

Abstract:
For almost three decades, Somalia has defied definition and expectation precisely because the country has lacked an effective, centralized state apparatus. As a result, the term 'failed state’ is often applied to Somalia in popular discourse and by scholars. For a state to formally function as such, a few conditions must be met including the state’s ability to unquestionably legitimatize its authority over its territory, its residents pledging allegiance to that state, and explicit recognition by other states. Despite the perceived chaos and violence associated with the country, there is evidence of structures that allow for markets to function and social services to be delivered. The Somali diaspora is one factor in supporting Somalia’s economic and social system, as remittances pay for children’s education, social services and provide investment funds for businesses. Moreover, Somalia has been able to foster a vibrant Information Communications Technologies (ICTs) sector, comparable to that of its more stable and wealthier East African neighbours. Therefore, the objective of this Information Systems thesis is to examine how Information Communication Technologies are utilized within communities that are considered failed (or failing) and lack defined, and legitimate state apparatus. The guiding research question for this thesis is: What role does Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) and the diaspora play in the creation of a `stable` Somalia? To address the research question, in addition to providing Somalia’s historical context, three interrelated empirical studies were designed. The first study utilizes both qualitative and quantitative content analysis approaches to extend our understanding of how Somalia is defined in Western media. This included determining when the failed state term became synonymous with Somalia. The study, additionally, applies the principles of Critical Discourse Analysis to explore how Somalia and Somalis are perceived and portrayed in Western news sources. The study confirmed that Western media narratives about the country are negative in tone, violent in the description and have reinforced negative stereotypes regarding Somalia and its people. The second study explores the existing social structures in Somalia, utilizing Anthony Giddens’s Structuration Theory. More specifically, the study examines the banking and credit system used by Somalis, how the education and justice systems are delivered along with other necessary social services accessed by residents within the country. Through in-country key Mohamed Elmi PhD. Thesis iv informant interviews from various sectors and industries, the study aimed to discover how visible and invisible institutions that are central to the delivery of social and economic services in Somalia are mediated by ICTs. This study found evidence of functioning social structures, despite the failed state label applied to Somalia. The third study aimed, through surveys and key informant interviews, to better understand the role played by the diaspora in Somalia’s economic and social system. This study explores the institution behind the Hawala system and how it is enabled by technology. By examining how the remittance system works and the methods Somalis employ including recent innovations such as mobile banking, this study also establishes the role of Information Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the Somali money transfer sector. In the concluding chapter, the contributions to both the Information Systems field and our collective understanding of Somalia are discussed. Drawing on the evidence from the three studies, this chapter makes four main claims. The first claim of this study is that ICTs act as a binding agent of social structures within Somalia as defined by a social theory framework. I am thus demonstrating why Somali social institutions function in the absence of a robust administrative state. The second claim argues that the diaspora are essential agents in stabilizing Somali social and economic institutions by offering financial aid, investments and knowledge transfer. The third claim suggests that the perceptions of Somalia and its people have been negatively influenced by Western news media. Finally, I argue that definitions of a failed state are narrow, Western-centric and do not necessarily apply to Somalia.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract Use of organic corrosion inhibitors provides an economical and effective way for internal corrosion control of oil and gas production and transportation pipelines. The motivation to conduct corrosion inhibition measurements using electrochemical techniques was to get an indirect measurement of surface saturation concentration (SSC) for a model corrosion inhibitor compound, tetradecyldimethylbenzylammoniumbromide (BDA-C14), based on the steady state corrosion rate at different bulk inhibitor concentrations measured using a 2L glass cell setup. However, there was another important observation during corrosion inhibition experiments in the present study, which was a sudden rise in open circuit potential (OCP) to more positive values after injection of the corrosion inhibitor. In the present study, this OCP change is analyzed, and a detailed methodology is presented for the estimation of kinetic constants. Following some assumptions, OCP change vs. time data is used instead of the limited number of corrosion rate data points available in the transient region during inhibitor adsorption.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines the operation of a hexacopter in hover and forward flight conditions with a single rotor failure. A classical configuration, with adjacent rotors spinning in opposite directions, and an alternate configuration are considered. The simulation model used in this study calculates aerodynamic forces (thrust, drag and side force) and moments (pitching and rolling moments, and torque) at the rotor hub using blade element theory coupled with a finite-state dynamic inflow model to capture the rotor induced velocities. Failure of various rotors is considered individually and an understanding is developed of how the aircraft trims post-failure. For the alternate configuration hexacopter, if one of four rotors (out of six) fails, the aircraft can be trimmed in hover as well as in forward flight, and is fully controllable. But recovery from failure of one of the other two rotors for fully trimmed flight is impossible. For the classical configuration hexacopter, if any of the forward facing rotors fail, the aircraft can be trimmed in forward flight and is fully controllable. If an aft rotor fails, the aircraft cannot be trimmed, but could be turned around to orient the failed rotor forward. While the classical configuration can always be trimmed in hover by turning off the rotor diametrically opposite rotor to the failed rotor, the aircraft is not independently controllable about all axes due to a rank deficient control matrix. Thus, in the event of a rotor failure, the classical configuration hexacopter could cruise back to base and land, but not maintain a sustained hover. Power penalties of up to 23% were observed in the event of failure due to the increased induced and profile drag on the operational rotors.

Abstract:
Abstract Surface level gauges fabricated from AISI Type 316 stainless steel (316) wire failed after only a few weeks of operation in underground storage tanks at the Hanford Site. The wire failure was determined to be due to chloride ion assisted corrosion of the 316 wire. Radiation-induced breakdown of the polyvinyl chloride (PVC) riser liners is suspected to be the primary source of the chloride ions. An extensive literature search followed by expert concurrence was undertaken to select a replacement material for the wire. Platinum (Pt) -20%Iridium (Ir) alloy was selected as the replacement material from the candidate materials, Pt-20%Ir, Pt-10%Rhodium (Rh), Pt-20%Rh and unified numbering system (UNS) alloy N06022. The selection was made on the basis of the alloy’s immunity towards acidic and basic environments as well as its adequate tensile properties in the fully annealed state.

Abstract:
Abstract The Department of National Defence (DND) in Canada has implemented a revised maintenance program for aircraft weapon systems whose goal is to ensure that essential maintenance is accomplished and to assure the continued airworthiness of aeronautical products during in-service operation. The program especially affects legacy aircraft. A case study is being presented where an adhesion failure was detected during a scheduled inspection. After carrying out numerous wet adhesion tests which failed, followed by water break tests on the failed areas, surface contamination prior to organic coating application was suspected. Typical laboratory techniques could not detect any contamination. Use of state-of-the-art Time of Flight – Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) with primary ion source, Bi3+, was needed to determine the presence of surface contamination as low as a monolayer. The contamination was positively identified as a cationic surfactant that is commonly used in aircraft cleaners and conversion coating solutions. Further analyses using Scanning Electron Microscopy – Energy Dispersive X-ray Analyses (SEM-EDX), Thermal Gravimetric Analyses (TGA), Differenctial Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) and Dynamic Mechanical Analyses (DMA) were used to ensure the bulk integrity of the failed coatings.

Abstract:
&lt;p&gt;In time-history response analysis of elastic-plastic systems, common viscous damping models yield unintended spurious damping forces. A previous study exhibited thirteen different damping models resulted in different elastic-plastic response of a 5-degree-of-freedom system assigning a bi-linear hysteresis model. This paper expands on that work by analyzing the impact of these damping models on the elastic-plastic response of systems incorporating five distinct hysteresis models. The number of rapid stiffness changes significantly increases the potential of generating large spurious damping forces. The tangent-stiffness-proportional Rayleigh model, with coefficients updated based on the elastic-plastic state step-by-step, failed to retain damping ratios close to target values. The Rayleigh model with a diminished mass-proportional term, produced responses comparable to those obtained using modal damping with coefficient updated step-by-step.&lt;/p&gt;

Abstract:
Abstract Corrosion of steel within ‘vintage’ buildings circa 1880s to 1930s pose a health and safety risk to the public in major urban centers. Projecting masonry elements pose a particular concern when the underlying steel appurtenances and anchorage begin to corrode. Failed masonry has fallen from buildings, leading to death in worst case scenarios. While some signs of masonry cracking or displacement are usually visible prior to failure, the level of degradation of the embedded steel is not. With the equipment available to test these unforeseen conditions, methodologies exist to understand unobservable conditions to assist in condition state ratings of embedded steel. In many cities, building owners are being faced with large expenditures to strip and replace terra cotta or stone elements where the underlying steel is in fair condition. This paper discusses a field-testing program where two full building elevations' terra cotta clad steel appurtenances were evaluated for corrosion. The testing program assessed all steel components which projected from the structure with a bespoke, in-depth, testing program geared towards the development of condition state ratings for the elements of the facade. In addition, this novel approach provided valuable insight to more appropriate means of testing glazed brick and terra cotta assemblies, both of which can provide dubious results with surface mounted testing.

Abstract:
Abstract During a recent high-temperature work, it was discovered that a high-temperature coating on a single crystal casting had completely failed after 1000 hours of exposure in a hot corrosion environment. Though previous tests showed this coating was somewhat resistant to hot corrosion at 1650 °F (899 °C), our results revealed catastrophic corrosion penetration of both the coating and the alloy substrate. Differences in chemical compositions between a coating and a substrate alloy can lead to interdiffusion between these materials that can modify the oxidation and corrosion resistance of the coating and the mechanical properties of the coating-substrate system. The stress state may also significantly influence and increase the magnitude of the interdiffusion that may lead to deleterious precipitation reactions. The crystal orientation or alloy phase of the substrate may also contribute to interdiffusion rates. This paper will look at the chemistry of a high-temperature coating and a substrate alloy before and after exposure to a hot corrosion environment to evaluate the degree of interdiffusion and discern what mechanistic pathways may cause precipitation reactions deleterious to alloy/coating performance.

Full text
Abstract:
Control of a helicopter's main rotor is typically accomplished through use of three hydraulic actuators that act on the non-rotating swashplate and position it to achieve any combination of collective and cyclic blade pitch. Failure of one of these servos can happen through loss of hydraulic pressure or by impingement of the piston within the hydraulic cylinder. For a compound helicopter with an articulated main rotor, a range of failed servo states (by piston impingement) are simulated in RCAS at hover, 100 kts, and 200 kts, to show the extent to which the compound effectors can generate additional forces and moments to maintain trimmed flight. After the loss of control of any of the three main rotor actuators in hover, the compound helicopter is capable of trimming with little change to the state of the vehicle by replacing control of the locked servo with control of rotor speed. This strategy can be used to maintain trim over 6 - 12% of the total servo ranges. At forward flight speeds, each of the three actuators produces a different result on the trimmed aircraft due to the non-axisymmetry of the rotor. Reconfiguration is accomplished through use of the ailerons, stabilator pitch, wings, and wing-mounted propellers to trim rotor produced roll moments, pitch moments, lift, and drag, respectively. The additional effectors in forward flight increases the range of tolerable failures to 20 - 63% of the maximum actuation limits.

Full text
Abstract:
Abstract A preliminary analysis of failed prestressing strands within a post-tensioned tendon on the Wando River bridge in South Carolina showed signs of possible hydrogen embrittlement. One proposed source of hydrogen is through galvanic coupling that may exist between the galvanized steel duct and the steel strands. This coupling, if present, can promote hydrogen evolution at the steel strand’s surface which may or may not be mitigated by the condition and quality of the grout. To fully understand the susceptibility of post-tensioned steel strands to hydrogen embrittlement in galvanized steel tendon ducts, the conditions that promote hydrogen production, the kinetics of hydrogen evolution and adsorption into the steel, as well as the subsequent loss of strength need to be well understood. In an effort to avoid these costly failures in the future, the likely effects of grout quality and the presence of grout deficiencies within galvanized steel ducts will be deduced from prior knowledge of hydrogen embrittlement mechanisms of cold-drawn steels. The focus of the review will be placed on studies and reports that have detailed the kinetics of hydrogen production and adsorption on cold drawn steel strands, and the relationship between stress state and hydrogen content distribution on strength reduction.

Abstract:
The article is dealing with state owned courts with utmost criti- cism. Contemporary states are predominantly burdened with enor- mous troubles; many are so called „failed states.“ The courts, being the state organs are tied to such states. Therefore, in „failed states“ there must be „failed courts.“ This pertains especially to Serbia and its courts, including Constitutional court. However, the logical consequence is that under existing system it is almost impossible to achieve any improvement with existing po- litical establishment. Yet, there are some proposals, all based on making some distance from State and politics. Truth and justice are too precious for the mankind to remain exclusivity of State due only to the physical power it possesses. The- refore, as much as possible involvement of experts and other people outside State and politics is necessary. However, for the judges the prime must be ethic criterion. Repetitive changes of regulations and some additional education of people who are in fact unacceptable for judiciary, are the wrong way that is leading only to further confusion and many other negative consequences.

Abstract:
Multiple development actors are interested in stimulating more inclusive fiscal governance. Efforts to generate greater budget transparency, citizen participation in resource allocation, and public oversight of government spending are commonplace. How can development donors and lenders support such efforts, and what are their limitations? How do their attempts to do so interact? Exploring the outcomes of two projects in the Nigerian States of Jigawa and Kaduna provide some answers to these questions. The projects pursue overlapping goals, but with different approaches. The Partnership to Engage, Reform and Learn (PERL) programme funded by the UK Foreign, Commonwealth &amp; Development Office works in a granular and contextually adapted way in each state to construct joint government and civil initiatives that test and embed citizen engagement and oversight approaches. The World Bank States Financial Transparency Accountability and Sustainability (SFTAS) initiative offers financial incentives to states if they meet a set of common public financial management benchmarks. Their actions have been complementary in several ways, despite significant contextual differences between the states in terms of conflict dynamics and prevailing citizen–state relations. The projects also reinforced each other’s efforts on public procurement reform in Kaduna State. However, in Jigawa State, SFTAS incentives to pass a procurement law following a standard template failed to codify and may indeed reverse gains from longstanding PERL efforts supporting transparency. This illustrates how donors with similar reform objectives in the same contexts can unconsciously undermine existing efforts towards overarching public accountability goals.

Abstract:
Schools routinely face federal and state mandated changes, like the Common Core State Standards or standardized testing requirements. Sometimes districts and schools want to take on new policies and practices of their own, like anti-bullying programs or using technology to deliver instruction. Regardless of the origin of the change, implementation requires them to take on additional work; yet experts estimate that only 30 to 50 percent of major change efforts in organizations will succeed. Failing change efforts result in not only financial losses but also lowered organizational morale, wasted resources, and lost opportunities. For schools where resources are already stretched thin, the consequences of failed change initiatives can be particularly devastating. In this paper, we discuss results of a study, over a school year, of school principals who were working on implementing a new change initiative in their schools. We apply lessons from the change management literature and focus on the importance of assessing readiness for change as a key step in ensuring the success of new initiatives. We share examples of a change readiness rubric to help schools and districts successfully lead change.

Abstract:
The COVID-19 pandemic affected everyone in the United States, and essential workers across industries like health care, agriculture, retail, transportation and food supply were key to our survival. Immigrants, overrepresented in essential industries but largely invisible in the public eye, were critical to our ability to weather the pandemic and recover from it. But who are they? How did they do the riskiest of jobs in the riskiest of times? And how were both U.S.-born and foreign-born residents affected? This report explores the crucial contributions of immigrant essential workers, their impact on the lives of those around them, and how they were affected by the pandemic, public sentiment and policies. It further explores the contradiction of immigrants being essential to all of our well-being yet denied benefits, protections and rights given to most others. The pandemic revealed the significant value of immigrant essential workers to the health of all Americans. This report places renewed emphasis on their importance to national well-being. The report first provides a demographic picture of foreign-born workers in key industries during the pandemic using U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (ACS) data. Part I then gives a detailed narrative of immigrants’ experiences and contributions to the country’s perseverance during the pandemic based on interviews with immigrant essential workers in California, Minnesota and Texas, as well as with policy experts and community organizers from across the country. Interviewees include: ■ A food packing worker from Mexico who saw posters thanking doctors and grocery workers but not those like her working in the fields. ■ A retail worker from Argentina who refused the vaccine due to mistrust of the government. ■ A worker in a check cashing store from Eritrea who felt a “responsibility to be able to take care of people” lining up to pay their bills. Part II examines how federal and state policies, as well as increased public recognition of the value of essential workers, failed to address the needs and concerns of immigrants and their families. Both foreign-born and U.S.-born people felt the consequences. Policies kept foreign-trained health care workers out of hospitals when intensive care units were full. They created food and household supply shortages resulting in empty grocery shelves. They denied workplace protections to those doing the riskiest jobs during a crisis. While legislation and programs made some COVID-19 relief money available, much of it failed to reach the immigrant essential workers most in need. Part II also offers several examples of local and state initiatives that stepped in to remedy this. By looking more deeply at the crucial role of immigrant essential workers and the policies that affect them, this report offers insight into how the nation can better respond to the next public health crisis.

Röders, Jonathan. Research Brief: Moral Injury and Repair Among Formerly Armed Actors. Trust After Betrayal, 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.59498/38489.

Full text
Abstract:
This research brief focuses on moral injury (MI) among formerly armed actors (FAAs), the cognitive and emotional response that may occur in a person who has witnessed, perpetrated, or failed to prevent acts that go against their moral or ethical beliefs. Unlike post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), MI is not widely recognised as a distinct clinical condition, yet it poses significant obstacles to the mental well-being and successful (re)integration of FAAs. The brief explores how morally injurious events challenge healthy self-perceptions and clash with societal expectations, leading to a severe cognitive dissonance in affected FAAs. It examines the impact of MI on military veterans and non-state armed actors, and highlights its potential psychological consequences such as social withdrawal, substance abuse, depression and violent behaviour. The research brief argues that MI deserves attention in psychosocial counseling within (re)integration programs for FAAs. It thus proposes a framework for integrating moral repair into existing FAA mental health treatment programmes, recognising the importance of addressing chronic and intrusive feelings of shame, guilt, and remorse resulting from MI.

Rezende, Fernando. Brazil's ICMS Tax: Origin, Changes, Current Situation, and Paths to Recovery. Inter-American Development Bank, 2013. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0006967.

Full text
Abstract:
The tax reform of 1965 in Brazil sought to streamline state taxation, replacing the old tax on sales and consignment (IVC) with a modern value added tax on the circulation of goods (ICM) as part of a profound change that aimed to build a national tax system. During the process of drafting the 1988 Constitution, the foundation of the ICM was expanded to include services and renamed ICMS. However, these changes have created increasing problems for the economy and the federation, which have worsened as successive attempts at reform have failed. Repeated attempts to improve the Brazilian tax system by adopting ad hoc measures have had little success. The diversity of interests and the complexity of the situation do not allow for isolated measures to make a big difference. It is important to seize the opportunity to advance towards a better understanding of the reforms in order to correct the many distortions that have accumulated in the tax system over more than four decades. For the first time, the federal issue precedes the discussion of tax reform.
