With aging and deterioration of bridges, evaluation of existing conditions of their structural elements becomes vital to engineers and public officials when deciding how to repair or replace the structures. The ability to obtain necessary information on these conditions is often expensive and time consuming, especially for concrete bridges where the reinforcement is not available for inspection. Employing the surface-strain relief method could allow for accurate evaluation of aged or damaged prestressed members. The surface-strain relief method was developed to measure initial or pre-existing strains in a concrete member. It involves relieving the strain in the member and measuring the change in strain. Two methods were tested—one used a linear electrical-resistance strain gage and a three-inch-diameter diamond concrete core bit to cut around the gage, and the second method used a laser-speckle imaging device and a diamond cutting wheel to create notches perpendicular to the axis of maximum strain. Both methods measured the change in strain and related it to within 10 percent of the actual fse. The method of cutting notches and the laser-speckle imaging device provided a simpler method to be implemented in the field, while the coring method achieved a higher level of accuracy and precision.

Abstract:
The current study examined Gilbert's (1998) concept of internal and external shame, and the degree to which eye gaze diversion is associated with the activation of shame generally, or is more isolated to when either external (i.e., perceived negative judgements from others) or internal (when shame-evoking evaluations come from the self) shame is experienced. The study also examined experiences of dissociation to ascertain whether there is a relationship between shame and dissociation. It was hypothesised that if shame is associated with internal and external observations, more gaze diversion will occur when participants are looking at themselves in the mirror or at the experimenter than when looking at a blank board, during the shame induction. Secondly, if eye gaze diversion is more strongly related to external shame, participants will look away from the experimenter more, during the shame induction. Thirdly, if eye gaze diversion is more strongly related to internal shame, more gaze diversion will be evident when they view themselves in the mirror during the shame induction. It is also thought that experiences of dissociation will increase after the shame induction. Psychology students from the University of Canterbury (n = 78) completed four measures assessing trait and state shame and dissociation, and listened to audio clips of shame-inducing and neutral scenarios while either viewing themselves in a mirror (internal shame), looking at the researcher (external shame) or looking at a blank board (control). Eye gaze diversion was recorded across scripts and conditions. Although initial analyses did not reach significance, simple effects analyses do indicate that eye gaze diversion is more associated with external shame than internal shame or shame more generally. Furthermore, state dissociation was significantly higher following shame inductions, when compared to the neutral induction. Taken together, results indicate support for hypotheses two and four and do not support hypotheses one and three.

Abstract:
The job of an auditor has still been quite a new one in the Czech Republic. It is connected with the transformation of our economy in the late 80s and early 90s. Despite its relatively short history the job's importance is going up. Just the external audit itself can lower the information inequality between the owner and the manager. Internal audit, on the other side, is a means of precaution how to prevent problems or solve them already before their coming into existence. My diploma work aimed at deeper insight into the problems of an auditor's job.

Dissertação submetida como requisito parcial para obtenção do grau de Mestre em Contabilidade e Finanças
A auditoria interna desempenha um papel fundamental na estrutura de uma organização, na medida em que procura fazer face às necessidades dos mercados e corresponder às expectativas de todas as partes interessadas, contribuindo, desse modo, para o sucesso organizacional. Numa época de novas tecnologias, avanços informáticos, entre outros, denota-se que o mercado está cada vez mais exigente. As empresas procuram, cada vez mais, a eficácia e eficiência nas suas decisões, a fim de se diferenciarem da concorrência, num mercado cada vez mais competitivo. O controlo interno é encarado como um fator chave para o entendimento dos vários processos existentes em cada empresa, bem como dita confiança às demonstrações financeiras apresentadas. Por outro lado, a auditoria traz uma almofada de fiabilidade não demonstrada em empresas sem esse controlo. O manual de controlo interno torna-se assim uma peça fundamental como base de trabalho para a auditoria interna, uma vez que descreve todos os procedimentos a adotar considerando as regras de controlo necessárias e adaptadas a cada organização e estrutura. Não esquecendo contudo, que o planeamento das ações de auditoria começou a ter em conta, os principais riscos negativos da empresa. Esta mudança de perspetiva levou a que a auditoria convencesse os intervenientes dos processos de controlo, que as suas recomendações têm como objetivo melhorar os procedimentos com impacto direto na satisfação do cliente. Assim, teremos o controlo interno de braço dado com a auditoria interna, na prossecução de objetivos comuns que se complementam entre si. Após a análise, salienta-se a importância da definição de um manual de controlo interno adequado à organização, bem como o impacto que a falta de um sistema de controlo interno tem na empresa. Este trabalho teve por base um estudo de caso, através da observação direta e participativa dos processos da empresa, além de entrevistas com vários funcionários, caracterizando assim além dos processos e procedimentos de controlo interno adotados, a empresa e a sua atividade. Com base na informação recolhida, foram elaborados os manuais de procedimentos para a área dos recebimentos e dos pagamentos. A análise seguinte incidiu com a confrontação dos processos realizados, com um sistema de controlo interno adequado à estrutura e organização da empresa, de forma a detetar as falhas, e quais os sistemas de controlo interno que deverão ser implementados, efetuando para tal as devidas sugestões.
Internal auditing plays a key role on the organizations as it seeks to meet market needs and stakeholders expectations, and therefore, contributes to organizational success. In an age of new technologies, computer advances, among others, it is noted that the market is increasingly demanding. Companies are increasingly looking for efficiency and effectiveness in their decisions in order to differentiate themselves from the competition in a more competitive market. Internal control is seen as a key factor for understanding the various processes in each company, as well as reinforces the reliance on the presented financial statements. On the other hand, the audit brings a reliability cushion not demonstrated in companies without this control. The internal control manual thus becomes a fundamental piece as a basis/guide for internal audit work, since it describes all the procedures to be adopted considering the control rules necessary and adapted to each organization and structure. Not forgetting however, that the planning of audit actions began to take into account the main negative risks of the company. This change of perspective has led the audit to convince all the active intervenient in the control processes that their recommendations aim to improve procedures, in order to obtain a direct impact on customer satisfaction. Thus, we will have the internal control linked with the internal audit, in the pursuit of a single objective that will complement each other. The analysis highlights the importance of defining an appropriate internal control manual for the organization as well as the impact that the lack of an internal control system has on the company. This work was based on a case study, through the direct and participative observation of the company's processes, as well as interviews with several employees, thus characterizing in addition to the internal control processes and procedures adopted, the company and its activity. Based on the collected information, the procedures manuals for the area of receipts and payments were prepared. The following analysis focused on the comparison of the processes carried out, with an internal control system adequate to the structure and organization of the company, in order to detect failures, and which internal control systems should be implemented, making the appropriate suggestions.

Abstract:
The role of the Court of Justice of the European Union in the process of direct tax integration in the European Union (EU) has been widely discussed in the academic literature, while another important actor, the European Commission, has attracted much less attention. The Commission’s input is commonly perceived to be limited to the right of legislative initiative. This study questions such an oversimplified interpretation and draws a more nuanced picture of EU tax harmonisation by integrating an analysis of the complex regulatory approaches adopted by the Commission for the establishment and smooth functioning of the Internal Market. It is argued that the past decade brought a notable change in the Court-dominated pattern of direct tax integration. This change is apparent first in the evolution of enforcement strategies under Articles 258 and 260 TFEU; and second, in the increased reliance upon non-binding regulatory measures. Both developments have strengthened the role of the Commission, supplying it with more possibilities for influencing national direct tax systems, despite the reluctance of Member States to agree upon legislative harmonisation. Against this background, the procedural and substantive problems associated with these instruments require closer examination. The normative scope of this research covers the key procedural problems related to the infringement procedure and non-binding regulatory measures. The empirical component explores the Commission’s enforcement and coordination practices, drawing particular attention to two case studies: the tax treatment of losses in cross-border situations and exit taxation. Following the analysis of enforcement and coordination in the field of direct taxation, the study argues the need and proposes potential solutions for (i) the developing of a more comprehensive procedural framework for the infringement procedure and non-binding regulatory acts; (ii) the strengthening of accountability mechanisms; and (iii) the enhancing of the effectiveness of their application.

Abstract:
A replication of an original study of managerial assessment centers performed by Sackett and Dreher (1982) is presented. Their major finding, indicating that assessment centers lack key tenets of internal construct validity, was corroborated in this study of a hotel managers' assessment center. This hotel managers' assessment center is also found to be externally valid using criterion-related validity. The argument is posed that assessment centers, as standardized tests of complex behavioral traits, appear to be operating outside the bounds of normal test construction principles. Five key explanations for this paradox are offered to guide much needed future research in this area. Additionally, a description of commonly utilized assessment center activities is offered the reader.

Abstract:
Data Analytics is one of the fast-developing applications of IT in organizations worldwide. This Master's thesis examines data analytics in the context of internal and external audit. Principal aim of the thesis is to identify the opportunities for data analytics application in both audit disciplines. Secondary goal is to design a data-analytical procedure, apply it to actual business data and thus demonstrate the benefits of employing data analytics. The thesis builds on a summary of theoretical sources of the relevant area, followed by a survey conducted by the author. The survey maps current state of data analytics usage in both internal and external audit in the Czech Republic. The added value of this thesis is, apart from the identification of audit areas in which it is beneficial to use data analytics, the design of an analytical procedure and its application. Another benefit is the survey revealing current state of the art and the insights of interviewed auditors, pointing to both benefits and problems of data analytics application to the performance of the audit profession.

Abstract:
In recent years, Internal Control has become the focus of attention every time there is a notable scandal in the corporate world. An effective internal control system can prevent an organisation from fraud and errors, and provide an organisation with assurance and competitive advantages. It is argued that in order to have a robust internal control system, an integrated system, such as an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is needed. ERP systems have the ability to control user access and facilitate the separation of duties, which is one of the most common internal control mechanisms used in order to deter fraud within financial systems. Moreover, there are other factors that can provide support for effective internal control systems. This thesis aims to explain how ERP success, organisational and ERP factors affect the effectiveness of internal control procedures. In particular, this thesis develops and validates a research model with empirical evidence collected in the context of the Saudi Arabia business environment. In order to achieve the research aim, this research identifies four key propositions derived from the existing literature to establish the relationships between organisational factors, ERP factors, ERP success and effectiveness of internal control procedures. An exploratory study is used to initially test the four propositions. The findings indicate that different companies follow different requirements that mainly depend on ownership. Additionally, the study indicates that the eight components of the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission’s (COSO) Enterprise Risk Management framework are considered by the companies investigated, however there are variations regarding their level of consideration. The findings suggest that further study is needed to explain the impact of ERP success on internal control and to measure the effect of the organisational and ERP factors. Based on the four propositions, four hypotheses are developed and tested in a quantitative study. A questionnaire is constructed and sent to 217 Saudi ERP-implemented companies. 110 valid responses are received. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) is adopted for data analysis and hypothesis testing. The results suggest that the maturity of the ERP systems, formalisation and centralisation can impact on the success of ERP systems. Prospectors’ strategy, organisational culture and management support are positively related to the effectiveness of internal control procedures. The study results show a positive significant relationship between the success of ERP systems and effectiveness of internal control procedures. This research contributes to the knowledge at different levels. At the theoretical level, it develops and validates a theoretical framework that links the ERP system success to the effectiveness of internal control procedures. At the methodological level, unlike many of previous studies, this study adopts multiple data collection methods, and a powerful statistical technique, PLS-SEM to generate more robust outcomes. Finally, at the practice level, the study is conducted in Saudi Arabia, which is different from the developed countries in many aspects, such as internal control regulations and taxation system. Thus, the findings can be beneficial to Saudi organisations as well as other Middle-East countries.

A presente pesquisa objetiva verificar se os procedimentos utilizados pela Auditoria Interna na detecção de fraudes em uma empresa privada operadora de planos de saúde permitiram a coleta de evidências confiáveis e suficientes para suportar as conclusões dos auditores sobre os fatos reportados nos relatórios de auditoria interna. Para realização do estudo, adotou-se como estratégia investigativa, o estudo de caso único. As técnicas utilizadas ao longo de toda a pesquisa foram as análises documentais e de conteúdo, baseadas nos objetivos propostos no estudo e na fundamentação teórica. A pesquisa concentrou-se nas análises dos relatórios de auditoria interna que reportaram ocorrências de fraudes na empresa estudada, emitidos nos anos de 2010, 2011 e 2012; contudo optou-se, também, por descrever as rotinas e práticas operacionais relacionadas à atuação do departamento de auditoria que contribuíram para uma melhor compreensão dos dados e do resultado do estudo. Os principais achados demonstram que os procedimentos utilizados pela Auditoria Interna na detecção de fraudes permitiram a coleta de evidências de auditoria confiáveis e suficientes para suportar as conclusões dos auditores. O resultado da pesquisa indica, também, que não existe um padrão de utilização dos procedimentos de auditoria. De acordo com o tipo de fraude e objetivo, o auditor interno deve definir quais os procedimentos de auditoria devem ser utilizados na obtenção de evidências de auditoria confiáveis e suficientes para suportar as suas conclusões.
The present research has the purpose to verify if the procedures used by an Internal Audit in order to detect frauds in a private company that deals with health insurance allowed enough gathering of reliable evidences to support the auditors conclusions about facts described in the reports from internal audit. To achieve this goal, it has been used as an investigative strategy, the single event study. The techniques used along the whole research were documentary and contents analyses, based on the goals proposed in the study and in the theoretical reason. The research focused on the analyses of the internal audits reports which reported frauds occurrences in the company that has been studied, issued in the years 2010, 2011 and 2012, however, was also an option in describing the routines e operational practices related in the performance of the audit department which contributed for a better comprehension of data and the study result. The main results demonstrate that the procedures been used by the Internal Audit in the fraud detection allowed enough gathering of reliable evidences to support the auditors conclusions. The research result also indicates that there is no using standard in the audit procedures. According to the type of the fraud and goal, the internal audit should define which audit procedures must be used to obtain reliable evidences to support its conclusions.

Abstract:
Implementation of behavior analytic interventions has traditionally relied on professionals possessing the required skills and expertise within controlled settings. While effective, this can be both expensive and time consuming. Research has demonstrated parent’s ability to implement a variety of interventions within the natural environment. As a result, parents are increasingly involved in treatment implementation. Getting the cooperation, support, and active participation of clients is essential to successful intervention. Therefore, buy-in at the earliest stages of treatment may result in the greatest effect. One of the earliest steps in treatment is the collection of data. Data collection methodology, validity, and reliability have been well studied. Parents as data collectors has also been reported. However, indications regarding the best data collection methods for parents to use, as well as any evident correlation between preference and accuracy, has not been reported. Through repeated measures using a multiple baseline across subjects, the study assessed the rate of acquisition of three data collection procedures by evaluating their performance accuracy before and after training. Preference rankings and perceptions for the data collection procedures were also obtained. Finally, the study examined correlations between preference for and proficiency with each data collection procedure. Results showed that training improved performance of Partial Interval Recording for 2 participants with one participant displaying skill mastery. Though training also increased participant performance using the Structured ABC method, skill mastery was not displayed. All participants achieved skill mastery using the Behavior Rating Scale method through repeated exposure.

Resumo: Entre novembro de 2000 e abril de 2011, 22 pacientes com 23 fraturas transversas da diáfise umeral foram tratados com redução indireta e fixação com placa e parafusos através de técnica minimamente invasiva. A seguimento pós-operatório variou de 6 a 126 meses ( media 51.6 meses). Quinze pacientes, eram do sexo masculino e sete feminino. A idade dos pacientes variou de 18 a 66 (media 33.5) anos. Todas as fraturas consolidaram, e nenhuma apresentou lesão neurovascular associada. As fraturas consolidaram em até 2.7 meses. O arco de movimento do ombro e cotovelo foram simétricos quando comparado ao lado não envolvido, salvo em um paciente que apresentou-se com déficit de extensão do cotovelo, mas tinha fratura de olecrano ipsilateral, e foi tratado com redução e fixação com banda de tensão. Houve complicações sem repercussão clínica em sete casos, que foram o cúbito varo de aproximadamente 5 graus em cinco pacientes e falha dos parafusos proximais em 2 casos. Não houve ocorrência de infeção ou lesão iatrogênica do nervo radial A avaliação da função pós operatória do braço, ombro, e mão (DASH SCORE) foi testada e variou de 0 a 12.5 ( media de 5.45) Em conclusão, osteossíntese minimamente invasiva com placa em ponte (MIPO) , pode ser considerada uma opção segura e eficaz para o tratamento de fraturas transversas da diáfise do úmero
Abstract: Between November 2000 and April 2011, 22 patients with 23 transverse mid-shaft humeral fractures were treated with minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis techniques. Follow-up duration ranged from 6 to 126 (mean 51.6) months. Fifteen patients were male and seven were female. The age of the patients ranged from 18 to 66 (mean 33.5) years. All fractures healed and no associated neurovascular lesion developed. All fractures united within an average of 2.5 months. Ranges of shoulder and elbow motion were symmetric with those of the uninjured extremity. Complications occurred in seven cases, in five cases, comprising 5° cubitus varus with no functional repercussion, and in two cases, the proximal screw failed, but the fracture healing in the same mean time. Disabilities of the arm, shoulder, and hand (DASH) scores ranged from 0 to 12.5 (mean 5.45). One patient who presented with lack of elbow extension was found to have an ipsilateral olecranon fracture, which was treated with tension-band osteosynthesis. No infection or iatrogenic injury of the radial nerve occurred. In conclusion, minimally invasive bridging-plate osteosynthesis may be considered an option for the treatment of transverse mid-shaft humeral fractures

Abstract:
Occupational fraud is a growing business risk that is causing greater financial losses in small businesses than large businesses. Business owners lose approximately 5% of their revenues due to occupational fraud. The purpose of this multiple case study was to explore the strategies used by some business owners of small restaurants to reduce occupational fraud. The fraud triangle theory was the conceptual framework for this study. Three small restaurant owners from Puerto Rico participated in face-to-face, semistructured interviews to reveal their successful strategies to minimize fraud. The data collection process also included business documents and researcher observations that assisted in establishing methodological triangulation. Using Yin's 5-step process, data were coded and analyzed to identify emergent themes. The primary emergent themes obtained from data analysis revealed that owner monitoring, analytical procedures, and segregation of duties are effective strategies to minimize employee fraud. Participants revealed that the implementation of these strategies may reduce organizational losses associated to fraud. The findings of this study may contribute to social change by reducing fraud activities, business failures, unemployment level, and criminality rate while promoting trust between community members and their institutions.

Abstract:
Considerando a importância da avaliação do sistema de Contas a Pagar, bem como os riscos envolvidos, e que as entidades privadas sem finalidade de lucros devem obedecer, primeiramente, os princípios fundamentais e as normas da Contabilidade, o que se constata na realidade é que essas entidades não vem dando a devida atenção a estes procedimentos. Por isso, este estudo tem por objetivo avaliar o Sistema de Contas a Pagar de uma dessas instituições, e apresentar sugestões para a segurança e o aperfeiçoamento do Sistema. A organização estudada é sem fins lucrativos e se dedica à capacitação de servidores municipais nas várias áreas de atuação municipal. Primeiramente, buscou-se, por meio de referências bibliográficas, estabelecer o conceito de auditoria, suas origens, evolução da mesma no Brasil e a sua divisão em Auditoria Independente e Auditoria Interna. Num segundo momento foi analisado o sistema contábil existente, com especial atenção ao módulo do Contas a Pagar. Essa análise demonstrou haver fragilidades no sistema de controle interno. Constatada essa situação, foi então desenvolvida toda uma série de instrumentos e de procedimentos para dotar a organização de um sistema de Contas a Pagar confiável, bem como adotar uma sistemática de controles por projetos. Uma vez adotados os sistemas propostos será possível à organização controlar, efetivamente, o seu Contas a Pagar e a ter, tempestivamente, uma visão dos riscos envolvidos. Além disso, a nova formatação do sistema por projetos permitirá operacionalizar as prestações de contas aos stakeholders envolvidos.
Considering the importance of evaluating a Payables system, as well as the risks involved, and that the non-profit private entities must obey, first of all, the Accounting fundamental principles and norms, what we find in the day to day reality is that such entities are not giving the appropriate attention to these procedures. Thus, this study aims at evaluating the Payables System of one of these institutions, and presenting suggestions to the safeguard and betterment of the System. The organization studied is a non-profit one and it is dedicated to capacitating county personnel in the various areas of the municipal activities. Firstly, by using the available bibliographic references, the concept of Auditing, its origins and its evolution in Brazil, and its ramification in Independent Audit and in Internal Audit. have been established Afterward, the existing accounting system has been analyzed with special emphasis on the Payables module. This analysis has shown that a whole serie o fragilities did exist in their internal control system. Based on these findings a whole lot of instruments and procedures have been developed so that the organization would have a trustworthy Payables system, as well as an indication to provide the organization with a systematic projects control system. Whenever the proposed systems are implemented it will be possible to the organization to effectively control its Payables and to have, forthrightly, a perception of the risks involved. Furthermore, the new projects system format will enable the organization to be more accountable to all its stakeholders.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was twofold: (a) to take a step towards conducting a functional assessment of an employee skill deficit in an applied, organizational setting and (b) to investigate the effectiveness of building response frequencies when training necessary skills to employees of an organization. A functional assessment procedure was administered to each participant and designed to identify the possibility of insufficient component skills that may have been responsible for employee ineffectiveness. Results of this assessment procedure identified two of the these targeted skill areas as deficient. Based on these results, two primary dependent variables designed to measure two component skills, See/Say 4-digit operation code descriptions (recall) and See/Type 4-digit operation codes (data entry) were established. During treatment, instructional and measurement procedures based on Precision Teaching and designed to increase rates of responding (i.e., frequency) were used to present the material, to guide instruction, and to record the results. A pair of multiple baseline across participants designs were used to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. In addition, three composite skill tests (pretest, midtest, posttest) were administered to measure and evaluate the application of each of the two component skills. The results of treatment suggest that the methods used in this study are a cost-effective way of training product knowledge and data entry skills for organizations. Implications for the field of Organizational Behavior Management are discussed and suggestions for future research are provided.

Abstract:
Detta examensarbete har genomförts under vårterminen 2016 för högskoleingenjörsprogrammet i innovationsteknik och design vid fakulteten för hälsa, natur- och teknikvetenskap på Karlstads universitet. Stora delar av arbetet har utförts hos uppdragsgivaren Emerson Process Management AB i Karlstad. Målet med projektet har varit att förbättra företagets interna projektöverlämningar. För att kunna göra projektöverlämningarna mellan projektavdelningen och serviceavdelningen mer enhetliga samt att kunna kvalitetssäkra dem, har en manual tagits fram som är tänkt att användas vid samtliga projektöverlämningar. Manualen innehåller information om hur en projektöverlämning mellan projektavdelningen och serviceavdelningen ska genomföras. Manualen inkluderar en beskrivning på vilka moment som ska ingå i överlämningsfasen av ett projekt samt vem som är ansvarig för de olika momenten. Även information om vilka personer som ska medverka under själva överlämningen, en agenda för överlämningsmötet samt vilka dokument som lämnas över till serviceavdelningen finns förklarat i manualen. Det har även skapats en mall på en mappstruktur som ska kunna användas av projektledarna för att lagra de dokument som serviceavdelningen behöver efter överlämningen från projektavdelningen. Denna mappstruktur, innehållande de dokument som serviceavdelningen behöver, är sedan tänkt kunna kopieras och sparas på en server inom företaget som medarbetarna på serviceavdelningen har tillgång till och där de kan sortera mapparna som de själva önskar. Syftet med detta är att medarbetarna på serviceavdelningen lätt ska kunna hitta de dokument de behöver och därmed spara tid och resurser på att slippa leta igenom onödig information. Att samtliga projektledare använder samma struktur för att lagra dokument kommer även hjälpa till att säkerställa att inga dokument glöms bort eller försvinner i överlämningsprocessen. Förstudien av projektet har innefattat informationsinsamlingar och intervjuer med anställda på de olika avdelningarna inom Emerson Process Management AB. Förstudien har sedan sammanställts i en kravspecifikation och en Service Blueprint. Utifrån detta material har sedan flera olika konceptgenereringar kunnat utföras och genom olika elimineringsmetoder, viktningar samt utvärdering av de framtagna lösningsförslagen kunde ett slutgiltigt koncept väljas. Det valda konceptet testades och en slutanpassning gjordes för att få ett så bra resultat som möjligt. En dialog fördes med personal på Emerson Process Management AB genom hela projektet för att få ett resultat som var anpassat till företagets verksamhet. Det lämnades även över förslag till Emerson Process Management AB på hur implementeringen av de nya rutinerna och verktygen skulle kunna genomföras. Detta för att på ett så bra sätt som möjligt få samtliga berörda parter att acceptera förändringsarbetet och genomföra förändringarna på ett positivt och lättarbetat sätt.
This Degree Project has been carried out during the spring semester of 2016 for the Degree of Science in Innovation and Design Engineering at the faculty of health, science and technology at Karlstad University. Most of the work has been done at Emerson Process Management AB in Karlstad. The purpose of the project was to improve the company’s internal project handovers. In order to make the project handovers between the project department and the service department more uniform and to be able to assure the quality of them, a manual has been developed. The manual includes information about the handover procedure, the different tasks that has to be performed during the project handover and also who is responsible for these tasks. The manual also includes information about the participants that are required to attend the handover meetings, agenda topics and information about what type of handover documents that should be handed over to the service organization during the handover meeting. A template for a folder structure has also been made, that is supposed to be used by project managers to store the documents that the service department will need after the handover. This templates, including the documents involving the projects, is then to be copied and stored on a server that the service department can access. On this server, the staff working in the service department can sort the different templates in a way that they desire to make it easier for them to find the documents they need. The fact that all project managers uses the same folder structure, staff at the service department will easily find the information they need, leading to large cuts in time and resources for the whole company. It also helps to ensure that no documents are forgotten or lost in the handover process. The feasibility study of the project has involved a lot of gathering of information and interviews with staff from different departments of the company. The feasibility study was then compiled in a requirement specification and a Service Blueprint. Based on this material, a number of solutions could then be carried out. Through various elimination methods, weightings and evaluation of the developed solutions, a final concept could then be chosen. The selected concept was tested and a final adjustment was made to get as good a result as possible. A dialogue was conducted with staff at Emerson Process Management AB throughout the project in order to get a result that was adapted to the company's operations. A proposal was also submitted to Emerson Process Management AB on how the implementation of these new procedures and tools would be realized. This was made so that all concerned parties in the best way possible could accept the change and implement it in a positive and easy-to-use manner.

Abstract:
Yes
We present a targeted review of recent developments and advances in digital selection procedures (DSPs) with particular attention to advances in internet-based techniques. By reviewing the emergence of DSPs in selection research and practice, we highlight five main categories of methods (online applications, online psychometric testing, digital interviews, gamified assessment and social media). We discuss the evidence base for each of these DSP groups, focusing on construct and criterion validity, and applicant reactions to their use in organizations. Based on the findings of our review, we present a critique of the evidence base for DSPs in industrial, work and organizational psychology and set out an agenda for advancing research. We identify pressing gaps in our understanding of DSPs, and ten key questions to be answered. Given that DSPs are likely to depart further from traditional nondigital selection procedures in the future, a theme in this agenda is the need to establish a distinct and specific literature on DSPs, and to do so at a pace that reflects the speed of the underlying technological advancement. In concluding, we, therefore, issue a call to action for selection researchers in work and organizational psychology to commence a new and rigorous multidisciplinary programme of scientific study of DSPs.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate how our selected municipalityaddressed theirpreventive work regarding threat and violence among social workers, what strategies social workers have to overcome intimidating situations, and also what level of education social workers have. Previous research shows that education for social workers inthis topicoften is neglected. The study was conducted by one focus group interview with social workersall working inchild and familywelfarein our selected municipality. The main result of the study is that social workers experience that the municipalitysinternal agenda against threat and violence works well and gives support in their work. Despite this,the social workers expressed a desire to get morerelevant education about threats and violence to be able toavoid risk-taking behavior and be able to perform a more secure job. According to the social workers some of the strategies that affected the safety in their profession was the possibilityto have a direct and clear communication with the client to try and make the meeting between client and social workers more relaxed.
Syftet med denna kvalitativa studie var att undersöka hur den utvalda kommunen hanterade det förebyggande arbetet angående hot och våld bland socialarbetare, vilka strategier socialarbetare har för att bemästra hotfulla situationer, samt vilken utbildningsnivå socialarbetare har. Tidigare forskning visaratt utbildning för personalen inom detta område ofta är eftersatt. Undersökningen genomfördes via en fokusgruppsintervju med socialarbetare som alla var kopplade till individ och familjeomsorgen (IFO) i vår undersökta kommun. Studiens huvudresultat visade att socialarbetarna upplever att kommunens handlingsplan gällande hot och våld är välfungerande och ger dem stöd i deras arbete. Dock ansåg socialarbetarna att mer relevant utbildning inom hot och våld skulle var önskvärt för att undvika riskbeteenden samt kunna utföra ett säkrare arbete. Några av de strategier som enligt socialarbetarna påverkade tryggheten i yrket var att ha en rak och tydlig kommunikation med klienten samt att försöka avdramatisera mötet mellan klient och socialarbetare.

Abstract:
Com o advento e o desenvolvimento da tecnologia da informação e principalmente da Internet, as infrações penais ganharam novo ambiente para sua prática. A vertente inovadora referente a esses ilícitos é o meio digital, também denominado meio eletrônico. Ocorre que, o crime informático praticado por meio da Internet é do tipo que deixa vestígio, sendo obrigatório, para se estabelecer a autoria e materialidade do ato delitivo, o exame do corpo de delito, exame este realizado por meio de perícia em meios computacionais. Embora a prova pericial seja regrada pelo Código de Processo Penal brasileiro, uma vez que se trata de meio de produção de prova típico, este regramento é extremamente genérico, não prevendo, portanto, regramento específico quanto à prova pericial em meios computacionais relacionada ao crime informático praticado por meio da Internet. Desta forma, o presente trabalho objetiva analisar a prova pericial em meios computacionais relacionada ao crime informático praticado por meio da Internet, como meio de produção de prova típico, em função do avanço tecnológico, e discutir a viabilidade de sua disciplina, de forma específica, pela legislação processual penal brasileira. A importância de se ter instrumentos legais que regulem a matéria, justifica-se não somente quanto às investigações em âmbito nacional, mas também, em âmbito internacional, o que facilitará a adesão do Brasil a Tratados e Convenções Internacionais que regulam investigações conjuntas entre Estados soberanos, visto que o crime informático praticado por meio da Internet, na maioria dos casos, tem caráter transnacional.
With the advent and development of information technology and especially of the Internet, criminal offenses have gained a new practice environment. The innovative aspect related to such illicits is the digital media, also called electronic media. As it happens, computer crime committed through the Internet is the type that leaves evidence, being that it is mandatory, to establish the authorship and materiality of the criminal act, the examination of the corpus delicti. This examination is performed by experts in computational forensics. Although the expert examination is ruled by the Brazilian Code of Criminal Procedure, since it is a typical means of generating evidence, this procedure is extremely generic and does not foresee, therefore, specific procedures about expert examination in computer crime committed through the Internet. Thus, the present work aims to examine the expert evidence on computer media, computer-crime crime committed through the Internet as a means of typical evidence, as a function of technological progress, and discuss the viability of its discipline, specifically, by the Brazilian criminal procedure law. The importance of having legal instruments governing the subject is justified not only when investigations run at national level but also internationally, what will facilitate the adherence of Brazil to international treaties and conventions governing joint investigations between sovereign states, considering that computer crime committed through the Internet, in most cases, has a transnational nature.

Abstract:
This dissertation explores applicant reactions to Internet-based selection procedures in order to advance theory and practice related to the use modern employee selection tools. Previous authors have explored this topic area (e.g., Harris et al., 2003). However, this dissertation goes beyond previous research by proposing and testing a model that incorporates the measurement of multiple constructs that are highly relevant to organizations when utilizing Internet-based selection procedures. Such constructs include privacy concerns, explanations, control, fairness perceptions, litigation intentions, organizational intentions, and test-taking motivation. Current organizational justice theory, previous findings from studies on applicant reactions to selection procedures, and research on Internet privacy concerns provided the foundation on which this research is based. This dissertation also pulls from theory in the legal, information sciences, and psychology literatures. A model of applicant reactions that included privacy concerns and multiple outcomes relevant to organizations was proposed. Hypotheses examining this model were tested via a high-fidelity laboratory study with student participants. One-third of the participants in this study were seeking jobs at the time of participation. Findings indicated that privacy concerns are an important predictor of both proximal (i.e., fairness perceptions) and distal (i.e., organizational intentions, test-taking motivation) applicant reaction outcomes. Results also demonstrated support for a mediating role of fairness perceptions in the relationships between privacy concerns and organizational intentions as well as between privacy concerns and test-taking motivation. Providing applicants with control and explanations were found to have no moderating effect on the relationship between privacy concerns and fairness perceptions. However, post-hoc analyses indicated that excuse explanations moderated the effect of privacy concerns on test-taking motivation. Theoretical implications of this dissertation include support for a one-factor model of organizational justice as well as a call for more integration of research from outside of industrial-organizational psychology. Additionally, areas for future research, including opportunities for improvement of study design involving timing of measures, are presented. Finally, implications for practice are discussed in regard to the possible impact of privacy concerns to large numbers of applicants participating in Internet-based selection processes, including a discussion on the importance of applicant privacy concerns to organizations and the use of multiple, inexpensive methods that may aid organizations in increasing fairness perceptions among applicants.

Abstract:
INTRODUÇÃO: As reconstruções com tecidos combinados e bem vascularizados permitem a melhor reabilitação para defeitos extensos em cabeça e pescoço. O padrão-ouro tem sido as transferências microcirúrgicas de tecidos. Porém, há pacientes em que não há vasos receptores cervicais adequados para os transplantes de tecidos livres devido à múltiplas recidivas, ressecções e reconstruções; linfadenectomias cervicais; fístulas e infecções; e o tratamento com radioterapia. Com o aprimoramento do controle oncológico, pacientes nestas circunstâncias são cada vez mais frequentes e há poucas alternativas para reconstrução. OBJETIVO: Descrever a dissecação anatômica de um retalho osteomiocutâneo combinado, pediculado nos vasos torácicos internos, para reconstrução de defeitos complexos em cabeça e pescoço. MÉTODO: Retalhos osteomiocutâneos contendo 6ª e 7ª costelas e músculo reto abdominal foram dissecados bilateralmente em 35 cadáveres, 26 do sexo masculino e 9 do sexo feminino. Estudou-se a vascularização cutânea do abdome superior pelas perfurantes da artéria epigástrica superior superficial (SSEA); e os padrões de vascularização do 6º e 7º arcos costais e músculo reto abdominal a partir dos vasos torácicos internos, musculofrênicos e intercostais. O arco de rotação para segmento cefálico com ponto pivô na margem inferior da primeira costela foi avaliado. RESULTADOS: Foram dissecadas 114 perfurantes SSEA, 62 à direita e 52 à esquerda, com calibre arterial médio homogêneo de 0,68 mm. A maior frequência de perfurantes encontradas foi no grupo de 0,5 a 1,0 mm, com 60 (52,7%) ocorrências. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significativa para localização e calibre em relação ao lado. Também não houve correlação dos calibres com localização, idade, peso e altura dos cadáveres. Sessenta e dois retalhos osteomiocutâneos com pedículo nos vasos torácicos internos, 6° e 7° arcos costais e músculo reto abdominal foram divididos em 3 tipos de acordo com o padrão de vascularização do sexto arco costal. O tipo 1, em que a vascularização da sexta costela é pela artéria musculofrênica, foi o mais frequente, com 46 (74,2%) ocorrências. Dez pedículos vasculares diferentes para os componentes do retalho foram individualizados e medidos bilateralmente. Apenas quatro foram significativamente maiores nos homens e, dois, maiores à direita. Os calibres de todos os pedículos arteriais foram homogêneos em relação ao sexo e ao lado. O comprimento do pedículo para o componente ósseo do retalho variou de 18,5 a 21,6 cm, alcançando mandíbula e maxila em todos as dissecações. Já o componente miocutâneo do reto abdominal atingiu occipício em todos os casos e levou os vasos epigástricos profundos inferiores para possível anastomose vascular. Cinco pacientes foram operados em 2 anos com adequada integração dos retalhos e recuperação do contorno e função mandibulares. CONCLUSÃO: Em todas as dissecações de cadáver as perfurantes SSEA estiveram presentes bilateralmente com calibre maior que 0,3 mm; os retalhos osteomiocutâneos pediculados nos vasos torácicos internos foram constantes e alcançaram o segmento cefálico. Os pacientes operados recuperaram forma e função mandibulares. Este retalho pode ser uma alternativa para reconstruções secundárias em cabeça e pescoço
INTRODUCTION: The use of combined well-vascularized flaps offers better results and rehabilitation for complex head and neck defects. Microsurgical reconstructions are the gold standard. However, there are patients with vessel-depleted necks from multiple recurrences and resections, failed reconstructions, neck dissections, infections, fistulas and radiotherapy, which impair adequate free tissue transfers. With better oncologic therapies, these patients have become more common and lack reconstructive options. OBJECT: To describe a combined ostemyocutaneous pedicled flap based on the internal mammary artery for complex head and neck reconstructions. METHOD: Osteomyocutaneous flaps with 6th and 7th ribs and the rectus abdominis muscle were dissected bilaterally on 35 cadavers, 26 male and 9 female. We studied the upper abdominal irrigation through isolation of the superficial superior epigastric artery perforators (SSEA) and the vascular pedicles to the 6th and 7th ribs, and the rectus abdominis muscle arising from the internal mammary, the musculophrenic and the intercostal arteries. The arc of rotation of the flap to the cephalic segment was tested with the pivot point on the lower margin of the first rib. RESULTS: We dissected 114 SSEA, 62 on the right side and 52 on the left. They had an homogeneous mean arterial diameter of 0,68 mm. Sixty perforators (52,7%) were on the group that ranged from 0,5 to 1,0 mm. After statistical analysis, there were no differences in relation to the side as for location and caliber of the perforators. Neither there was any relation of the arterial calibers to the location, age, weight and height of the cadavers. Sixty-two internal mammary artery pedicled osteomyocutaneous flaps, that carried the 6th and 7th ribs and the rectus abdominis muscle, were divided in 3 types depending on the vascular pattern to the 6th costal arch. Type 1, where the pedicle to the 6th rib branches from the musculophrenic artery, was the most frequent and dissected in 46 flaps (74,2%). Ten different vascular pedicles to the components of the flap were isolated and measured bilaterally. Only four of them were significantly longer in males and, two, were longer on the right side. The arterial diameters were also homogeneous in relation to the side and sex. The pedicle length to the osseous component of the flap varied from 18,5 to 21,6 cm, which allowed to reach mandible and maxilla in all dissections. The myocutaneous component of the rectus abdominis muscle reached the occipitum in all cases and carried along the deep inferior epigastric vessels for vascular anastomosis if needed. Five patients were operated in 2 years with adequate flap integration and recovery of the mandible contour and function. CONCLUSION: In all cadaveric dissections SSEA perforators were bilaterally present with a caliber bigger than 0,3 mm; internal mammary artery osteomyocutaneous pedicled flaps were constant and reached the cephalic segment. The operated patients recovered mandibular form and function. This flap can be an alternative for secondary head and neck reconstructions

Mestrado em Gestão de Recursos Humanos
O tema deste trabalho encerra duas temáticas fundamentais no contexto organizacional, o cyberloafing, isto é o uso indevido da internet no local de trabalho e a justiça organizacional. A presente investigação tem como propósito identificar as diferentes atividades de cyberloafing e analisar de que forma as perceções de justiça organizacional podem estar relacionadas com a prática de cyberloafing. Optou-se pelo modelo tetra-dimensional de justiça organizacional que integra: justiça distributiva, justiça procedimental, justiça interpessoal e justiça informacional. Para o efeito, foi aplicado um inquérito por questionário electrónico a uma amostra constituída por 194 indivíduos com acesso à internet no local de trabalho. Como resultados finais, considerou-se que as perceções de justiça não estão relacionadas com a frequência nem com a duração da utilização da internet para fins pessoais, mas com atividades específicas de cyberloafing.
The subject of this work involves two fundamental themes of the organizational context cyberloafing, misuse of internet in the workplace and organizational justice. This investigation has the purpose of identifying the different activities of cyberloafing and analyze on which way the organizational justice perceptions may be related with the practice of cyberloafing. It was chosen the tetra-dimensional model of organizational justice which includes: distributive justice, procedural justice, interpersonal justice and informational justice. For this purpose it was applied an electronic questionnaire to a sample of 194 individuals with internet access at work. As final results it was considered the justice perceptions are not related to the frequency, nor to the time spent using the internet, but are related to specific activities of cyberloafing.

Abstract:
The aim of the master’s thesis was t odevelop alternative solutions supporting steel structure of the railway bridge on the undermined area. The range of single fields were chosen based on the location of existing substructures. Reducing the width of bridge openings were not allowed. Based on the geodetic survey plans were drawn up clear of the current state. On the basis of specifications for developing a detailed process was chosen variant Gerber’s beam reinforced with an arch in mean field. For this variant was performed structural analysis of the main parts of the main structure of the bridge, which was calculated with the effects of undermining. For variant Gerber’s beam were made clear drawings and drawing details of the selected steel bridge construction (new state). Further, detailed analysis of selected structural detail was made. Specifically, connecting rod to the main beam, which was designed optimal shape and thickness of the joints plate with a suitable radius of the firing to avoid plastification of the material in this area. Variant of the continuous beam without joints was prepared to. It has been observed, what is the effect of undermining on the stress in the construction of the bridge - was confronted with the effects on Gerber’s beam. To reduce stress in the construction of the bridge and compliance of ultimate state of applicability of the main beam has been designed bearing adjustment and after considering several options its implementation too. The economic comparison between the two variants was conducted. The assembling procedure was designed for both types of bridge structures. In the technical report we can read about due to the intention of building a new bridge and further we can find there other important technical information. In conclusion of the master’s thesis there has been recommended for the construction specific variant – from the perspective of an investor, and from the static aspect-view of the designer.

Support de la nouvelle société de l’information et de la communication, outil de travail mais également de loisir, le numérique est « partout ». Devenu la mémoire virtuelle de l’homme, le « numérique », constitue un terrain d’investigation privilégié, une source d’informations intarissable. Le principe de la liberté des preuves en procédure pénale a offert au numérique la possibilité de jouer un rôle majeur : parfois preuve de l’infraction, de son imputabilité à un auteur et/ou de son identité, il est devenu incontournable. Ce constat est toutefois limité, ce principe ne signifiant pas que l’on puisse agir de n’importe quelle manière, à sa guise quels que soient le lieu et l’heure ; la preuve numérique devant être recherchée et recueillie dans les règles de l’administration de la preuve. Soumise à l’intime conviction du juge, la donnée numérique devra également revêtir des garanties d’intégrité et de fiabilité, avant d’être considérée comme une « preuve ». En définitive, ces observations imposent que, les caractères généraux de la preuve numérique et son rôle probatoire attendu soient étudiés afin d’envisager comment cette nouvelle preuve se confronte au régime probatoire pénal
As a medium of the new society of information and communication and as a tool used both for work and play, digital technology has become ubiquitous. It has become man's virtual memory and represents a preferred field for investigation, an inexhaustible source of information. The principle of freedom of evidence in criminal law has allowed digital technology to play a major role : sometimes as evidence of infringement, of its author's imputability and/or identity, it has become inescapable. This general assessment is however limited, as it does not mean that any action can be taken anyhow, whatever the place or time ; digital evidence must indeed be searched for and collected within the rules governing it. Being subjected to the judge's inner conviction, the digital data will also have to offer guarantees of integrity and reliability before being considered as evidence on balance, these observations require that the general characteristics and expected role of digital evidence should be studied in order to examine how this new kind of evidence can be confronted with the system of evidence in criminal law

Abstract:
Objetivos: O objetivo desse estudo foi comparar a perviedade da artéria torácica interna esquerda (ATIE) dissecada por videotoracoscopia robótica para revascularização minimamente invasiva do ramo interventricular anterior (RIA) com a revascularização do miocárdio convencional. Métodos: De 2007 a 2010, 36 pacientes foram randomizados para revascularização do miocárdio minimamente invasiva (RMMI) ou revascularização do miocárdio convencional (RMC). Pacientes randomizados para o grupo RMMI foram submetidos à dissecção da ATIE por videotoracoscopia auxiliada pelo braço robótico AESOP seguida de uma minitoracotomia anterior esquerda no 4º espaço intercostal para anastomose com o RIA. Pacientes randomizados para o grupo RMC foram submetidos a revascularização do miocárdio convencional com esternotomia mediana completa, dissecção aberta da ATIE e anastomose ao RIA. Fluxometria por tempo de trânsito (FTT) foi utilizada para avaliação da perviedade da ATIE imediata. Após 24 meses uma tomografia multislice foi utilizada para avaliar a perviedade a médio prazo da ATIE. Resultados: O tempo médio de dissecção da ATIE no grupo RMMI foi de 50,1 ± 11,2 vs. 22,7 ± 3,3 min no grupo RMC. Não houve diferença significativa no fluxo médio da ATIE para o RIA entre os grupos estudados (46,17 ± 20,11 vs. 48,61 ± 23,42 mL/min, p=0,86) respectivamente. Não houve diferença significante na incidência de infecção de ferida profunda (0 vs. 2, p=0,48) e necessidade de reoperação por sangramento (0 vs. 1, p=1,00) nos grupos RMMI e RMC respectivamente. A angiotomografia mostrou perviedade da ATIE em 100% dos pacientes do grupo RMMI vs. 94,1% no grupo RMC (p=1,00). Não houve mortalidade nos grupos estudados. Conclusão: A revascularização do miocárdio minimamente invasiva do ramo interventricular anterior com dissecção da artéria torácica interna esquerda por videotoracoscopia robótica foi segura e factível. A perviedade da artéria torácica interna esquerda imediata e a médio prazo foi similar entre ambas as técnicas
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the patency of left internal mammary artery (LIMA) robotically harvested for left anterior descendent (LAD) artery minimally invasive bypass with conventional LIMA to LAD off-pump bypass. Method: From 2007 to 2010, 36 patients were randomized to either LIMA robotically harvested to LAD artery minimally invasive bypass or standard LIMA to LAD off-pump bypass. Patients assigned to robotic group underwent robotic endoscopic harvesting of LIMA with the AESOP system followed by a small left thoracotomy in the 4th intercostal space for off-pump LAD bypass. Patients assigned to standard group underwent full median sternotomy, open LIMA harvesting followed by off-pump LAD bypass. Transit time flow measurement was used for intraoperative evaluation of LIMA to LAD patency. After a mean 24-month follow-up, Multislice Computed Tomography was used to evaluate LIMA to LAD midterm patency. Results: The mean LIMA harvesting time in robotic group was 50.1 ± 11.2 min vs. 22.7 ± 3.3 min in conventional group. There was no significant difference in intraoperative LIMA to LAD flow between robotic and conventional groups (46.17 ± 20.11 mL/min vs. 48.61 ± 23.42 mL/min, p=0.86). There were no significant differences in incidence of wound infection (0 vs. 2, p=0,48) and reoperation for bleeding (0 vs. 1, p=1.00) between robotic and conventional groups respectively. In robotic group, Multislice CT revealed patent LIMA graft in 100% patients vs. 94.1% patients in conventional group (p=1.00). There was no mortality in the study group. Conclusions: Minimally invasive LAD bypass using LIMA graft robotically harvested was safe and feasible. Early and mid-term LIMA patency was similar between both techniques

Abstract:
A widespread and persistent memory error that people commit on a daily basis is the post-completion error (PCE; i.e., forgetting to complete the final step of a procedural task). PCEs occur in the railroad industry when a locomotive conductor changes the direction of a rail switch but fails to report this change. This particular error could contribute to unsafe conditions as another train traveling on the same track could derail. Although training can help reduce some of the factors leading to unsafe conditions on the rail, research has demonstrated that PCEs are different from other errors of omission in that they cannot be eliminated through training, which makes them a difficult problem to address. Therefore, there is a need to explore new remedial actions designed to reduce PCEs. The current study investigated the effectiveness of a theoretically motivated intervention at reducing PCEs in trainyard operations, where making these errors could be life-threatening. Twenty-eight undergraduates completed trainyard tasks within a high-fidelity simulator. Each participant received the behavioral intervention in one block and no intervention in another. Specifically, participants were required to perform an additional task designed to remind participants of the post-completion (PC) step. The intervention significantly reduced PCE rates in the context of trainyard operations, on average, by 65%. We discuss implications of these results on reducing trainyard accidents, and how this outcome can contribute to the literature on the cause of PCEs.

Abstract:
Cyberspace produces friction when the law is implemented by domestic courts using 'state-laws'. These laws are based on a ‘physical presence’ of an individual within the territory. It elevates conflicts relating to cyberspace jurisdiction. This research examines private international law complications associated with cyberspace. The paradigm of libel that takes place within the domain of social media is used to evaluate the utility of traditional laws. This research is conducted using ‘black-letter’ methodology, keeping in mind the changes constituted by the Defamation Act 2013. It pinpoints that the instantaneous nature of social media communication demands an unambiguous exercise of 'personal-jurisdiction', beyond the doctrine of territoriality. An innovation to the code of Civil Procedure is recommended to revise the process of service for non-EU defendants. The permission to serve a writ via social networks (or to the relevant Embassy of the defendant’s domicile state), can accelerate the traditional judicial process. This thesis can be utilised as a roadmap by libel victims for preliminary information. It contributes to the knowledge by discovering that the thresholds under Section 1 and Section 9 of the Defamation Act 2013 overlap with the conventional ‘forum-conveniens’ tests. This crossover is causing legal uncertainty in the application of existing rules to the digital libel proceedings. Section 1 and Section 9 thresholds do not fulfil the purpose of eliminating ‘libel-tourism’ and maintaining a balance between speech freedom and reputation rights. They raised the bar for potential victims and restricted their rights to justice. It is proposed that the traditional ‘conveniens test’ must be used for social media libel victims to produce legal certainty in cyberspace defamation.

Abstract:
La justice pénale est aujourd’hui confrontée au numérique et le développement des données dématérialisées, dont la valeur patrimoniale ne cesse de s’accroître, lui pose des défis de nature idéologique, sociologique, économique, géopolitique et, bien évidemment juridique. Elle doit faire face à la cybercriminalité qui se joue du temps, de l’espace et des législations puisque les actes illicites se déroulent désormais dans le cyberespace. Mais, pour que le système de justice pénale puisse contribuer efficacement à la lutte contre la cybercriminalité, les États doivent pouvoir s’appuyer sur un ensemble de règles juridiques contre cette criminalité et des systèmes de justice pénale qui fonctionnent correctement, doivent avoir les capacités nécessaires pour démêler les affaires pénales qui peuvent être complexes et coopérer à la répression de la cybercriminalité au plan international
Nowdays, Criminal justice is confronted to digital and the development of dematerialized data, whose heritage value is still increasing, raise challenges of ideological, sociological, economical, geopolitical and of course legal nature. Criminal justice needs to deal with cybercrime which make light of time, space and legislation because illicit acts now take place in cyberspace. However, so that the criminal justice system can contribute effectively to fight against cybercrime, states should be able to lean on a set of legal rules against crime and criminal justice systems which work correctly, should have the necessary abilities to get to the bottom of legal affairs which can be complex and cooperate in cybercrime repression on the international level

Abstract:
For many Internet of Things (IoT) devices security have not been a priority during the development, but what happens if the makers of IoT devices use a secure framework for developing their devices? In this thesis a number of such frameworks have been evaluated for their suitability to build an access control system around. Both Vanadium and Protocol of Things (PoT) were found to be suitable candidates. Both frameworks employ a distributed access control model where the owner of a device can grant other users access to the device by generating a signed authorization. PoT was ultimately chosen as the framework around which to design the prototype access control system because it was deemed to be slightly more suitable than Vanadium. The prototype takes the rule based and discretionary access control model from the underlying framework and makes it possible for administrators to transparently authorize users to devices through role abstractions. Thus it is possible to transparently manage a class of users at the same time instead of having to manage each individual user. Furthermore the prototype is able to do this in a generic way. The prototype does not contain any code of functionality for any specific device it manages, it is capable of managing access to any PoT device. The design and implementation is deemed both scalable and efficient. Running on a single thread it is possible to generate over one thousand signed authorizations per second. In a system where users are granted access to 200 unique device permissions the total file size of the signed authorizations and accompanying meta data does not exceed 150 kB. It takes approximately 70 ms to establish a secure connection between the client and server software. For large data transfers the throughput is approximately 2.6-2.8 MB per second, including encryption and decryption of request and response from the client to the server.
För många enheter tillhörande sakernas internet har säkerhet inte varit en prioritet under utvecklingen, men vad händer om tillverkare istället använder ett säkert ramverk för att utveckla sina produkter? I den här rapporten presenteras en utvärdering av några sådana ramverks lämplighet för att användas för att bygga ett accesskontrollsystem kring. Både Vanadium och Protocol of Things (PoT) finns vara lämpliga kandidater. Båda ramverken använder en decentraliserad säkerhetsmodell där ägaren av en enhet kan ge andra användare tillgång till enheten genom att generera en signerad auktorisation. PoT är det ramverk som användes för att utforma accesskontrollsystemprototypen kring för att det ansågs vara något mer lämpligt jämfört med Vanadium. Prototypen använder en rollabstraktion för att underlätta arbetet för administratörer att ge användare rätt behörigheter. På så vis blir det möjligt att konfigurera en klass av användare samtidigt istället för att behöva konfigurera varje användare individuellt. Prototypen kan göra allt detta på ett generiskt sätt. Det innebär att prototypen inte innehåller någon kod eller funktionalitet som är specifik för någon enhet så länge det är en PoT-enhet. Den föreslagna designen och implementationen är skalbar och effektiv. Över ett tusen signerade auktorisationer kan genereras per sekund på en exekveringstråd. I ett system där användare ges behörighet till 200 unika behörigheter på olika enheter uppgår den totala filstorleken för de signerade auktorisationerna och tillhörande metadata till mindre än 150 kB. Det tar uppskattningsvis 70 ms att skapa en säker anslutning mellan klient- och server-mjukvara. För stora dataöverföringar är överföringshastigheten uppskattningsvis 2.6-2.8 MB per sekund, vilket inkluderar kryptering och avkryptering av fråga och svar från klienten till servern.

Abstract:
Worms have been improved and a range of sophisticated techniques have been integrated, which make the detection and response processes much harder and longer than in the past. Therefore, in this thesis, a STAKCERT (Starter Kit for Computer Emergency Response Team) model is built to detect worms attack in order to respond to worms more efficiently. The novelty and the strengths of the STAKCERT model lies in the method implemented which consists of STAKCERT KDD processes and the development of STAKCERT worm classification, STAKCERT relational model and STAKCERT worm apoptosis algorithm. The new concept introduced in this model which is named apoptosis, is borrowed from the human immunology system has been mapped in terms of a security perspective. Furthermore, the encouraging results achieved by this research are validated by applying the security metrics for assigning the weight and severity values to trigger the apoptosis. In order to optimise the performance result, the standard operating procedures (SOP) for worm incident response which involve static and dynamic analyses, the knowledge discovery techniques (KDD) in modeling the STAKCERT model and the data mining algorithms were used. This STAKCERT model has produced encouraging results and outperformed comparative existing work for worm detection. It produces an overall accuracy rate of 98.75% with 0.2% for false positive rate and 1.45% is false negative rate. Worm response has resulted in an accuracy rate of 98.08% which later can be used by other researchers as a comparison with their works in future.
