Abstract:
Recent decades have seen an explosion of interest in transitional justice. Although much attention has been directed toward measuring the effects of transitional justice mechanisms, discussion of the motivations for and manifestations of resistance to transitional justice processes has been limited. Th is article contributes to this underexamined area through an analysis of the nature of resistance to transitional justice in Bahrain following the February 2011 uprisings. It identifies existing explanations for resistance to and engagement with transitional justice before considering whether Mitchell Dean’s analytics of government approach—with its emphasis on identifying discrepancies between actors’ declared and actual intentions—assists in revealing less obvious manifestations of resistance, such as those seen in Bahrain. It is suggested that adopting the institutional manifestations of transitional justice may, paradoxically, be understood as a strategy for resisting popular demands for accountability and political transformation—the very notions at the core of any transition.

Abstract:
Limited public health research has used psychographic profiling to segment young adults and examine their substance use behaviors. We aimed to conduct market research to identify young adult market segments at risk for alternative tobacco products (ATPs), alcohol, and marijuana use. Substance use; psychographics per the Values, Attitudes, and Lifestyle Scale (VALS); and other key variables were assessed at baseline in a longitudinal study of 3,418 students aged 18–25 from seven colleges/universities in the state of Georgia. Cluster analysis was conducted on VALS factors to identify distinct segments. Regression examined segments in relation to substance use risk. Past 30-day use prevalence for each substance was as follows: cigarettes, 13.3%; little cigars/cigarillos (LCCs), 11.2%; smokeless tobacco (SLT), 3.6%; e-cigarettes, 10.9%; hookah, 12.2%; alcohol, 63.1%; and marijuana, 19.0%. Five segments were identified, created, and named: Conventionals, Simple Lifes, Open Minds, Confident Novelty-seekers, and Stoic Individualists. Controlling for sociodemographics, Open Minds, Confident Novelty-seekers, and Stoic Individualists (vs. Conventionals [referent]) were more likely to smoke cigarettes. Confident Novelty-seekers were more likely to use LCCs. Simple Lifes were less likely to use SLT. Open Minds and Confident Novelty-seekers were more likely to use e-cigarettes. Open Minds were more likely and Simple Lifes were less likely to use hookah. Open Minds were more likely to use alcohol; Simple Lifes and Stoic Individualists were less likely to use alcohol. Open Minds were more likely to use marijuana. Market research is an effective strategy for identifying young adults at risk for using distinct ATPs and can inform targeted health campaigns and cessation interventions.

Abstract:
This paper seeks to identify a linkage between the requirements for fire fighting water and building design. This paper reviews existing methods to calculate fire fighting water requirements and comments on their applicability in the context of fire service tactics. Defining what constitutes an adequate supply of water for fire fighting is also central to planning fire service operations. The provision of water for fire fighting operations is a significant infrastructure cost borne by the community as the fire fighting requirements dominates the sizing of the network elements. This paper reviews work undertaken to date and seeks to offer a methodology that supports the fire engineering approach being adopted in performance based building codes.

Abstract:
This work is a study examining the causes of fire fighting in software projects. Fire fighting is the practice of reactive management, i.e. focus being put at solving the problem of the moment. The study in the thesis is performed in two parts, one part is a literature study examining what academia considers as the reasons of fire fighting and how to minimise the problem. The other part of the thesis is an interview series performed in the industry with the purpose of finding what they consider the causes of the fire fighting phenomena. What is indicated by the interview series, as being the main causes of the problems are problems that are related to requirements, and problems caused by persons with key knowledge leaving the project.

Bourgeois, Amy Laura Liu. "Biodegradability of Fluorination Fire Fighting Foams." Digital WPI, 2014. https://digitalcommons.wpi.edu/etd-theses/502.

Full text
Abstract:
Fluorinated fire fighting foams provide superior performance for extinguishing Class B flammable liquid fires when compared to other types of fire fighting foams. Perfluorocarboxylates and perfluorosulfonates have historically been surfactants used in these foams with a recent shift to fluorotelomer-based foams due to environmental and health concerns surrounding perfluorinated compounds such as PFOA and PFOS. Releases of aqueous film forming foams from training, accidental spills, or fire events where wastewater is not captured have, among other sources, led to detectable concentrations of fluorinated compounds in groundwater, surface water, and drinking water supplies globally. Persistence, toxicity, and bioaccumulation potential of these substances are areas of ongoing research. Biodegradability data for these AFFFs in published studies and manufacturers’ material safety data sheets may be based on a comparison of BOD and COD measures. The present study concludes that COD is an inappropriate measure of organic content for fluorinated compounds due to the carbon-fluorine bond strength, and thus published biodegradability data must be critically evaluated for validity. TOC measured an average of 91% of carbon content for four fluorinated test substances, recommending it for use as an analytical parameter in biodegradability tests when specific compounds’ identities are not required, e.g. in the absence of an LC/MS. Biodegradability of three fluorinated foams (AFFF, AR-AFFF, and FP) purchased from a major U.S. manufacturer measured in the range of 77-96% based on DOC die-away during a 28-day test using activated sludge inoculum. This meets OECD criteria for “ready biodegradability� and NFPA biodegradability recommendations in Standards 18, 18A, and 1150. Defluorination of two foams was measured using ion chromatography and, based on an estimate for total fluorine content developed in part from manufacturer MSDSs, was found to liberate a detectable level of fluorine that was 1 to 2 orders of magnitude less than the estimated value. In this 28-day test, foams underwent significant biodegradation but fluorinated compounds’ biodegradation was likely incomplete.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis examines and explains the history of provincial fire-fighting in England. A literature survey demonstrates the academic neglect of the subject, and discusses the written work that exists. This is supplemented by an extensive bibliography. An outline of early fire history then indicates that nothing happened in the fight against fire until the Great Fire of London, in 1666. This event directly inspired the formation of the first fire brigades in Britain by the insurance companies. Financing their own fire brigades, the insurance companies set a precedent that was to hinder the establishment of a national system of fire-fighting for over two hundred years. Two constant themes emerge: the first is that it takes a disaster to prompt action, and the second is that there was no overall organisation in English firefighting until World War Two. A study of fire appliances reveals that their slow development hindered the growth of fire brigades, but once multiple manufacturers emerged and became competitive, then interest was stimulated, directly resulting in the establishment of many local brigades. An examination of equipment follows this. By studying the types and sizes of brigades it is revealed that fire-fighting was a local expedient, and that self-help was essential since successive governments failed to provide any national fire acts until 1938. The different forms, membership, and financial circumstances of individual brigades show the totally dangerous shambles out of which the efficient British Fire Services of today have arisen. Aspects of the life of the fireman (remuneration, pensions, hours, unions, fire stations, etc.) are then highlighted before it is shown why he became a hero of Victorian society, and the epitome of the ideal of manliness

Abstract:
In the recent years, fire domino effects have been involved in some extremely severe accidents in the chemical and process industries. In the need of a better understanding of the prevention of fire escalation scenarios, the present study focuses on emergency firefighting which compared to passive and active fire protection measures has received less attention. In the present study, a resilience-based firefighting methodology has been introduced to increase the absorptive capacity of process plants in withstanding the expanding disruptions of fire escalation scenarios. The proposed resilience metric allows to measure the resilience and performance deficiencies and facilitates the identification of optimal intervention actions that lead to the lowest loss of resilience. The modeling of fire escalation scenarios has been conducted using a Bayesian network approach while the modeling and investigating the effect of different firefighting strategies has been performed by extending the Bayesian network to an influence diagram. The area above the resilience curve, which is equal to the loss of resiliency, has been considered as a metric and discriminating factor to identify the optimal firefighting strategy. The results of this innovative investigation allow to better understand the effectiveness and reliability of the emergency protection interventions in a chemical plant and to study how the domino effect risk assessment can be enriched by new concepts optimizing the distribution of human and material resources in fire fighting operations.

Abstract:
Despite advancements in the development of synthetic fibers and materials that provide better insulation, fire ground burn injuries remain a significant issue. The current test methods for fire fighting clothing were investigated to determine their adequacy in evaluating the actual performance of clothing materials. This investigation uncovered several potential problems with the current test methods. A series of new, small scale, tests were used to evaluate the shortcomings of the current test methods and develop possible improvements. A small test apparatus, designed and donated by Ktech Corporation, was used to measure the thermal properties (thermal conductivity and volumetric heat capacity) of a series of fire fighting clothing materials. The thermal properties were estimated for single fabric layers, as well as ensembles, with various levels of moisture added to simulate actual end use conditions. In addition, a skin simulant sensor was used to assess the time to 2nd degree burn for exposures similar to those required in current standards for fire fighting clothing. A one dimensional heat conduction model was developed to predict the time to 2nd degree burn for the skin simulant sensor protected with outer shell materials that may be used as wildland fire fighting clothing, using the thermal property data obtained from earlier tests. An alternative method was developed to calculate the time to 2nd degree burn for ensembles evaluated with the new skin simulant sensor. The predictions for the time to 2nd degree burn obtained from the new skin simulant sensor were compared against results obtained using the sensor specified in the current test methods. The predictions for the skin simulant sensor were consistently shorter than those from the current test sensor. The current test sensor predictions for the time to 2nd degree burn were nominally 40% to 50% higher than the predictions from the skin simulant sensor during the evaluations of outer shell materials.

Abstract:
Many firefighters have been injured or killed while trying to extinguish a basement fire or a fire on a level below them. Prior research has shown basement fires present a high risk to firefighters. This risk stems from unexpected floor collapse and high heat. Prior research also indicated the tools that firefighters have traditionally used to determine the structural integrity of the floor offer little value with lightweight construction. Past experiments in small basements have indicated that the most effective method of fighting a basement fire may be from the exterior of the building. This study went beyond earlier research by increasing the size of the basement and incorporating three different ventilation and access conditions to the basement. Those access conditions include no exterior access to the basement, limited exterior access to the basement, and exterior access to the basement. The results of the experiments show the importance of identifying a basement fire, controlling ventilation and flowing an effective hose stream into the basement from a position of advantage, as soon as possible. These experiments highlighted the importance of identifying a basement fire during size-up and subsequently choosing the appropriate tactics that coordinate ventilation with suppression. In all experiments, the basement fire were ventilation limited. Additional ventilation without suppression was shown in to increase the hazard to any occupants trapped in the structure. Various nozzles and appliances were used to flow water into the basement. Water streams applied through the floor, through a small window remote from the seat of the fire, and through a basement level access door controlled the fire and reduced the hazard throughout the structure. Effective water application into the basement cooled the fire gases to prevent flashover, slowed the destruction of the structure, and reduced the hazard from fire. This action made entry conditions into a basement with active burning possible for a fully protected firefighter. Effective water application also supported search operations and reduced the threat from heat and toxic gases for any trapped occupants. Occupants isolated from the fire environment by a closed door or other means were provided addition protection when compared with conditions in rooms open to the fire environment.
