Full textAbstract:
Philosophiae Doctor - PhDThe argument of this dissertation calls for an abiding by missing-ness as it relates to apartheid-era disappearances. I am concerned with the ways in which the category missing is articulated in histories of apartheid-era disappearances through histories seeking to account for apartheid and how that category is enabled and /or constrained through mediating practices, processes and discourses such as that of forensics and history itself. My deployment of a notion of missing-ness therefore is put to work in underscoring notions of history and its relation to a category of missing persons in South Africa as they emerge and are figured through various discursive strategies constituted by and through apartheid’s violence and iterations thereof. I focus specifically on the enforced disappearances of Siphiwo Mthimkulu, Tobekile ‘Topsy’ Madaka and Sizwe Kondile and the vicarious ways in which they have been produced and (re)figured in a postapartheid present. Mthimkulu and Madaka were abducted, tortured, interrogated, killed and their bodies disposed through burning by apartheid’s security police in 1982. In 2007 South Africa’s Missing Persons Task Team exhumed commingled burnt human fragments at a farm, Post Chalmers. After two years of forensic examinations, those remains were identified as most likely those of Mthimkulu and Madaka. Their commingled remains were reburied in 2009 during an official government sanctioned Provincial re-burial. Kondile was similarly abducted in 1981 and after being imprisoned, tortured, interrogated and killed, his physical remains were burnt. The MPTT has been unsuccessful in locating and thus exhuming his remains for re-burial. Sizwe Kondile remains missing. Missing-ness as I evoke it serves to signal the lack and excess as potentiality and instability of histories accounting for the condition and symptom of being missing. The productivity of deploying missing-ness and an abidance to it in the ways I argue is precisely in not explicitly naming it, but rather by holding onto its elusiveness by marking the contours of discourses on absence-presence, those which it simultaneously touches upon and is constitutive of. Articulating it thus is to affirm missing-ness as a question that I argue, be put to work and abided by.

Irwin, Keith. "What Spins Away." Thesis, University of North Texas, 1999. https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc2182/.
Full textAbstract:
What Spins Away is a novel about a man named Caleb who, in the process, of searching for a brother who has been missing for ten years, discovers that his inability to commit to a job or his primary relationships is both the result of his history with that older missing brother, and his own misconceptions about the meaning of that history. On a formal level, the novel explores the ability of traditional narrative structures to carry postmodern themes. The theme, in this case, is the struggle for a stable identity when there is no stable community against which or in relationship to an identity might be defined.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is twofold, firstly to explore various media's coverage of missing children to probe whether they currently include the reflections and personal narratives of family members and loved ones and secondly to propose possible strategies for creating space for such content in the media. The much- publicised case of Madeleine McCann going missing in Portugal in 2007, showed how much power the media still yields and how much awareness can be created if the media choose to cast light on a particular case. But this case also stood out for another reason: many interviews conducted with the family after her disappearance didn't merely contain the facts surrounding her disappearance, they were also heartfelt narratives about the pain and horror that the family were going through. The public were not only made aware of their missing daughter but also of the very real and horrific way her disappearance had punctured their suburban life forever. Very few other cases of missing children have garnered the kind of media attention that allows parents of missing children to reflect in such a way. Most newspapers in South Africa at present barely report a child missing; let a lone create a space for parents to reflect on their loss (Drennan, 2012). News is often considered to be centred around the interests of the élite (Herman and Chomsky 1988) and often certain demographics like race, gender and ethnicity can influence how 'newsworthy' certain crimes or stories are considered to be (Pritchard and Hughes 1997, Gruenewald, Pizarro and Chermak 2009). Although social media allows a flow of information that is immediate (So, 2011), the information is still mostly centred around quick mobilisation of the public to find the missing person in the shortest time possible and doesn't allow a space for family members to reflect or share their experiences. Television plays a vital role by entertaining the viewer with facts and events that engage the audience but not much content can be found that allows the family and friends of the missing person to reflect on their sad and often lonely experience of losing a loved one in such a traumatic way. The existing television formats (fiction and non-fiction) are perhaps not ideal for intimate reflection and sharing emotional responses. By using narrative inquiry and action research while producing my own film about a missing person, I was able to test various fiction and non-fiction programming models. Four cycles of action research helped me to understand and determine what form would be best in order to create a space that would allow for intimate reflection from family members of missing persons. Through a process of trial and error, I found that a documentary form that incorporates inspiration from fiction and non-fiction forms was the most fitting platform to create an intimate space for reflection and sharing (Stubbs 2002; Nichols 2001). By combining these various elements I believe that I was able to make a film that is ethical, sensitive and respectful of my subject; to focus renewed attention on a cold case, while creating space for intimate reflection, something no other medium or platform I studied was able to do.

El presente trabajo estudia el caso de Francisco Buendía, un poblador de la microcuenca de San Miguel, en la provincia de La Mar (Ayacucho), desaparecido por Sendero Luminoso en 1984. A partir de la propuesta teórica de Stathis N. Kalyvas, reconstruye las dinámicas locales subyacentes al caso, que se engarzaron con el conflicto armado interno. Para encontrar dichas dinámicas, recurre a los recuerdos y silencios de los familiares y a la información que revelan los documentos notariales y judiciales y que la memoria precisamente intenta esconder. Muestra que las dinámicas locales contienen disputas que tienen que ver con el proceso de reestructuración de la tierra que en la localidad viene desde el siglo XIX. Dichas disputas finalmente devinieron en políticas, ocasionando la desaparición del referido Buendía.This paper studies the case of Francisco Buendía, a man of San Miguel, in the province of La Mar (Ayacucho), who was disappeared by Sendero Luminoso in 1984. From Stathis N. Kalyvas’ theoretical offers, it reconstructs the secret microdynamics of the case, which they connected with the armed internal conflict. To find these local dynamics, one resorts to the remembrances and silences of the Buendía’s relatives and to the information that reveal the notarial and judicial documents that the memory tries to hide. This paper shows that the local dynamics contain disputes that they have to see with the process of restructuring of the land that in the locality comes from the 19th century. The disputes finally developed intopolicies, causing the disappearance of Buendía.

Full textAbstract:
Genetic research has increasing power to analyse old biological remains. Biological traces of well-known historical persons can reveal personal information. The aim of this thesis is to investigate ethical concerns for the dead, within the biological, historical and archaeological sciences. In philosophy there is a long-running discussion on whether or not the dead can be wronged. The good name is proposed as a candidate of a posthumous interest. It is first of all argued that slandering per se can be wrong regardless of posthumous wronging of the dead. Secondly, the concept of change is investigated. It is argued that the property of having a reputation is a relational property. Hence a change in public opinion of a dead person, is also a change in the dead person’s reputation. The third contribution of this thesis is a constructive proposal for how a posthumous identity could be understood using narrative theory. Understanding identity through the life-story opens up the possibility of a gradual loss of identity after death, rather than absolute loss at the moment of death. Fragments of a person‘s narrative identity can persist in other peoples’ narratives, and for some historical persons, their narratives can be found long after their death. Finally, the implications of a remaining narrative identity for the dead are investigated in the area of archaeology and museumology. In the past 30 years, there has been increasing critique about present and past discriminatory handling of old human remains by archaeologists, in museums and in other institutions. Increasing numbers of requests have been made for repatriation or reburial of old human remains. Following an analysis of three current ethical guidelines in handling old human remains, changes to these guidelines are proposed based on a narrative method to a hypothetical claim of reburial.

Full textAbstract:
Biological profiles (ancestry, sex, age and stature) of skeletal remains assist with the identification of missing persons. Standards for estimating the sex and/or stature for the humerus of an Australian population are yet to be developed. This research aims to develop sex and stature estimation equations for the humerus specifically for a Queensland population. Samples consisted of humeral PMCT Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) datasets from a contemporary Caucasian Australian adult sub-population, aged between 17-90 years, obtained from the Brisbane Mortuary and QUT's Medical Engineering Research Facility from 2016 – 2018. Threshold based segmentation was conducted to form 3D models of the humeri, which was then measured according to the five standardised measurements of the humeri. This thesis presents the results of the preliminary sex and stature estimation equations developed from this research and their utility to contemporary missing persons casework.

Full textAbstract:
A gravidade do tema do desaparecimento de crianças e de adolescentes exige que o mesmo seja trabalhado de forma multidisciplinar uma vez que o índice anual de ocorrências no Brasil é de 40.000 casos/ano e 9000 casos no Estado de São Paulo. É imprescindível a atenção governamental para políticas públicas, a atenção acadêmica para o desenvolvimento de pesquisas e tecnologia, e, atenção clínica para o desenvolvimento de modelos de atendimento psicológico às famílias e aos desaparecidos quando encontrados. O objetivo geral desse trabalho foi descrever a criação de uma metodologia de prática psicológica oferecida aos familiares de crianças e de adolescentes desaparecidos e aos desaparecidos posteriormente encontrados que é executada em uma delegacia de polícia especializada na investigação de pessoas desaparecidas. Tal prática foi desenvolvida dentro de um projeto multidisciplinar que agrega diferentes metodologias para busca e identificação de desaparecidos menores de 18 anos. Na pesquisa foram descritas as etapas de planejamento desse projeto enfatizando a inserção e os efeitos da psicologia e da psicanálise em seu escopo multidisciplinar. O modelo clínico incluiu pelo menos 04 (quatro) entrevistas (uma semi-aberta e três abertas) e se utilizou o dispositivo analítico para levantar hipóteses sobre as prováveis razões para a ocorrência dos desaparecimentos configurando, portanto, um exemplo de psicanálise aplicada. Nas entrevistas semi-abertas foram utilizados questionários cujas respostas foram armazenadas em Banco de Dados. Os entrevistados assinaram Termo de Consentimento Pós-esclarecido. Os casos foram supervisionados e encaminhados para a rede psicossocial da cidade de São Paulo. A partir do referencial psicanalítico de orientação lacaniana foi realizada uma análise clínico-qualitativa de 16 casos-piloto atendidos pela pesquisadora e alguns casos por ela supervisionados. O mesmo referencial foi utilizado na discussão das questões multidisciplinares e dos efeitos da prática clínica no ambiente da delegacia. Os desaparecimentos analisados foram fugas de casa ocorridas principalmente a partir da entrada da puberdade e de forma repetida. Nas famílias foi observado principalmente, histórico de violência doméstica, de uso de drogas ilícitas, de alcoolismo, de prática de atos infracionais e de infrações penais. Os significantes mais utilizados pelos familiares para representar o desaparecido foram filho incômodo ou filho problema. A fuga de casa foi considerada um sintoma do desaparecido, sinalizando modos de gozo nas repetições. Foi possível observar aspectos da singularidade dos desaparecidos encontrados e entrevistados, pois alguns se identificaram com o lugar simbólico destinado pelo grupo familiar e utilizaram as fugas para manter essa posição. Outros lançaram mão da fuga justamente para ir contra o desejo dos pais e tentar encontrar um caminho pessoal. E, em alguns casos, a fuga de casa configurou uma saída para a sobrevivência psíquica da criança ou do adolescente. A clínica executada em uma delegacia marcou a diferença entre a escuta policial, de cunho investigatório, e a escuta analítica voltada ao particular de cada caso e às suas implicações (ou não) com o desaparecimento, possibilitando a abertura de um novo campo de trabalho ao psicólogoThe seriousness of the issue of missing children and adolescents requires an interdisciplinary approach to intervention. The need for such broad-based action is necessitated by the large number of children that go missing each year, i.e., approximately 40,000 cases per year in Brazil and an annual average of at least 9,000 cases in the state of Sao Paulo. The sheer number of cases makes obvious the need for increased public policy attention as well as careful research by the academic community into the causes and prevention of this phenomenon. More particularly, in depth psychological attention must be given to understanding the complex psychological factors that contribute to the problem. The aim of this study was to describe the creation of a methodology of psychological practice offered to families of missing and found children. The psychological practice described herein operated out of a police station specializing in the investigation of missing persons of all ages. This practice was developed within a multidisciplinary project that combines different methods to search for and identify missing children under the age of 18 years. This practice was developed within a multidisciplinary project that combines different methods to search for and identify missing children and youth. In the research phase of this effort, we described the projects planning stages with emphasis on the integration and the effects of psychology and psychoanalysis in its multidisciplinary scope. The clinical model of intervention included at least four interviews (a half-open and three open) and the analytical device used to raise hypotheses about the probable reasons into the occurrence and reoccurrence of missing and disappeared children. The approach used was that of applied psychoanalysis. Using semi-open questionnaires we sought answers related to questions that made up part of our comprehensive database relating to disappearances. All respondents in the project signed a written Consent Form. The cases were supervised and directed to the psychosocial network in São Paulo. From the psychoanalysis of the Lacanian orientation, a clinical-qualitative analysis of 16 cases treated by the researcher was undertaken. The same reference was used in the discussion of disciplinary issues as well as with respect to the effects of clinical practice in the environment of the police station. Repeated running away from home was the most common factor contributing to the disappearance of pre- and post-pubescent youth. The disappearances, though, also were associated with family histories of domestic violence, use of illicit drugs, alcoholism, the practice of illegal acts, and criminal offenses. The signifier most used by adult caregivers in describing their runaway child or teenager, however, was \"troublesome or problematic. Leaving home was considered a symptom of child disappearance and, often, was associated with considerable pleasure for the child. The analysis also made it possible to observe aspects of the uniqueness of the disappeared and many of these children identified themselves with the symbolic place determined by their family group. Others leaving home wanted simply to go against the wishes of parents and to try to find a personal path. And in some cases, leaving home set up a way out of psychic survival of the child or adolescent, especially in cases of domestic violence. The use of a police station as setting for clinical intervention with children and youth marked the difference between what the policeman can listen to about the cases and what the psychologist can listen to. The latters ability to use analytical listening focused on the particular features of each case and the implications (or not) with the disappearances, allowing the opening of a new field of work psychologist

Full textAbstract:
The murders and suspicious disappearances of women across Canada over the past forty years have received considerable national attention in the past decade. The disappearances and murders of scores of women in British Columbia, Alberta and Manitoba have highlighted the vulnerability of women to extreme violence. Girls and women of Aboriginal ethnicity have been disproportionally affected in all of these cases and have high rates of violent victimization. The current socio-economic situation faced by Aboriginal women contributes to this.
To provide publicly available data of missing and murdered women in Canada, a database was created containing details of 3,329 women, including 824 who are Aboriginal. There are key risk factors that increase the probability of experiencing lethal violence: street prostitution, addiction and insecure housing. The vast majority of sex workers who experience lethal violence are street prostitutes. The dissertation examines the legal status and forms of prostitution in Canada and internationally, as well as the individual and societal impacts of prostitution. A review of current research on violence and prostitution is presented. The thesis provides summaries from 150 serial homicide cases targeting prostitutes in Canada, the U.S., and the U.K. The trends and questions posed by these cases are identified.
The cases of the missing women of Vancouver and Robert Pickton are detailed. The key findings from the provincial inquiry into the missing women cases and an analysis of the most egregious failings of the investigations (Projects Amelia and Evenhanded) are discussed. Frequently encountered challenges and common errors, as well as investigative opportunities and best practices of police, and other initiatives and recommendations aimed at non-police agencies are evaluated. The three other RCMP-led projects, KARE, DEVOTE and E-PANA, which are large, dedicated units focused on vulnerable women, are assessed.
All Canadian women deserve to live free of violence. For women with vulnerable life histories, violence is a daily threat and a common occurrence. More must be done to prevent violence and to hold offenders responsible when violence has been done. This dissertation is a plea for resources and attention; to turn apathy into pragmatic, concrete action founded on solid evidence-based research.

El análisis del contenido de 405 piezas informativas, su correlación con los principales códigos deontológicos, la identificación de los frames periodísticos y la realización de diez entrevistas a familiares de las víctimas revelaron que, durante el periodo de estudio, la televisión mexicana ha vulnerado importantes prescripciones éticas. Entre las transgresiones significativas se encuentra la falta de rigor informativo, el desequilibro en la elección de fuentes y la ausencia de contexto. Los resultados obtenidos permiten concluir que Televisa estuvo más ocupada en seguir la agenda marcada por la Administración que en contrastar y corroborar la «verdad histórica» de los hechos, versión oficial que pretendía dar cierre al caso y en la que diversas organizaciones internacionales de derechos humanos aún desvelan numerosas irregularidades. En consecuencia, la investigación demuestra que el medio de comunicación no cumplió con el cometido periodístico de conformar informaciones veraces, rigurosas y éticamente responsables.The investigation has examined to what extent the main Mexican television chain, Televisa, observed the journalistic ethical principles —responsibility, truth, and justice— regarding the case of the 43 escuela normal rural de Ayotzinapa students, which forcibly disappeared on September 26th, 2014. The content analysis of more than 405 informative pieces, their correlation with the main deontological codes, the identification of journalistic frames, along with carrying out ten interviews to families of the victims revealed that, during the study time, the Mexican television overlooked important ethical matters. Among the remarkable transgressions there is the absence of informative accuracy, the imbalance of sources choice and the lack of context. The end results allowed to conclude that Televisa was more engaged on following the agenda provided by the administration than contrasting and validating the facts “historic truth” official version that intended to give closure to the case and out of which several international human rights organizations still unveil numerous irregularities. Therefore, the investigation shows the media did not comply with the journalistic duty of putting together truthful, rigorous, and ethically responsible information.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse décrit des engagements pour la cause de personnes disparues au Liban (enlèvement, meurtre ou emprisonnement) durant la guerre civile (1975 à 1989) et les occupations militaires qui ont suivi. Certains proches – notamment des femmes – se sont publiquement engagés depuis les années 1980 pour les retrouver, désigner des responsabilités, faire entendre leurs propres droits. Alliés à d’autres acteurs, ils et elles ont inscrit leur mobilisation de manière plurielle dans l’espace politique où rares sont les dispositifs de traitement du conflit. S’est ainsi façonnée au fil des ans une cause commune malgré leur fragmentation initiale, les drames intimes et les contraintes politiques rencontrées. Le nombre de plus en plus réduit de militants n’a pas tué la cause, mais, à l’épreuve du temps, a transformé les logiques de l’action collective. Par des dispositifs de sensibilisation, l’usage d’outils juridiques et un travail mémoriel, ces militants s’efforcent de faire entendre leur souffrance, mais également de lutter contre l’oubli du conflit voire à obtenir justice. L’observation de leurs activités et l’analyse de leurs témoignages entre 2011 et 2018 m’ont permis de mesurer les effets de leur action sur la cause comme sur leur engagement. Mettre en récit les crimes passés via la formulation d’un problème d’amnésie généralisée n’a pas permis de désigner de responsabilités claires. La remémoration publique des disparus et les procédures engagées en justice par des cause-lawyers ont suscité des dilemmes tant affectifs que stratégiques. C’est finalement à une sociologie des politiques de l’après-conflit au Liban que se propose de contribuer cette thèseThis thesis describes commitments to the cause of the disappeared in Lebanon, disappearances (kidnapping, murder, detention) occurred during the Lebanese civil war (1975-1989) and the military occupations that followed. Some families of missing persons, mostly women, have been publicly committed since the 1980s to finding them, to designate responsibilities, to have their own rights heard. They allied with various actors, and their mobilizations have been embedded in the political space, where few policies focus on post-conflit resolution. These activists have forged a common cause over the years despite the fragmentation of the cases, their parents’ intimate problems and the political constraints for their struggle. The shrinking number of activists did not kill the cause but the test of time has transformed the logics of collective action. Through legal tools, memorial work and “sensitizing devices”, they sought to raise public awareness on their suffering, but also to fight against forgetfulness about the conflict and to obtain justice. Observing their activities and their testimonies between 2011 and 2018 enabled measurement of the effects of their action on their cause and on their commitment. Their telling the story of past crimes through the formulation of a problem of general amnesia did not always enabled a clear designation of responsible parties. The public remembrance of the disappeared and the legal proceedings brought by their cause-lawyers have both given rise to emotional and strategic dilemmas. In the light of the study of these mobilizations, I eventually intend in this thesis to contribute to a sociology of post-conflict politics in Lebanon

This study explores the ways in which teachers’ biographies shape the act of teaching. It illuminates the formative (emotional, private, personal and professional) influences and experiences in teachers’ lives and work. After offering a detailed examination of the most significant ‘players’ (teachers’ educational beliefs, emotional connection and/or emotional knowledge of the subject matter; context and history syllabi) co-performing with the history teacher, the study then specifically focuses on the intersections between teachers’ emotional and personal history; their emotional knowledge and orientation to the subject matter; their pedagogical choices and the contexts ( the type of school and in particular the subject’s locations in that school) within which they teach. The research is inter-disciplinary and is premised upon theoretical and empirical studies in: teaching history, historical empathy, teaching the Holocaust, biography, modalities of teachers’ knowledge, emotion in education, teachers’ educational beliefs and context. It is a qualitative multiple-case study of 20 teachers working in 15 disparate schools and subject locations. The qualitative empirical materials gathered for the study have allowed single and cross-case comparisons to be made within the study through examining both the individual and collective meanings that teachers bring to their work. Once this information is interpreted, a clearer picture emerges of what it is that history teachers regard as being most influential in affecting their choice of content or even their orientation to their subject matter. By discovering the emotional, private and personal dimensions of teachers’ knowledge (an area which has to date been virtually unrecognised and/or acknowledged), this study has not only added to existing knowledge, but it has invited inquiry into a whole new area—second generation emotional knowledge (SGEK). This is a dimension of emotional knowledge that is unique and, as yet, uncharted.

Full textAbstract:
Finding missing people and obtaining an overview of complex emergencies is very demanding and requires costly resources. I have on a few occasions sought after my grandfather, who, when he got Alzheimer, liked to go for a stroll at night (!) when my grandmother was sleeping. Those kind of situations are very stressful, especially a cold winter night. During my first 25 years I was part of a dedicated outdoor culture with countless ski trips, mountain hikes, mountain bike trips and many hours in primarily Swedish nature. It happened on a few occasions that we came in contact with people who worked with rescue operations in this type of environment. It could be about hikers who strayed away or been injured in the inaccessible nature, lost skiers in the mountain massifs around Riksgränsen, berry pickers in the Västerbotten forests etc. There are many examples of this type of situations and it's reflections on these scenarios and similar current problem which is the basis for this project. Every year, about 7000 people are reported missing in Sweden. Of these remains about 30-35 vanished. Globally, the figure is huge. Earthquakes, floods and other hit by natural occurs despite various preventive measures. There are many occasions where the search, reconnaissance and location of individuals as well as physical problems play a critical role, but where human capacity seldom is sufficient. Search party chains (organized by organisations like Missing People) requires significant human resources and costs precious time, police helicopter reconnaissance is economically very costly, not environmentally friendly and involves a significant margin of error. With these statements as background, I would look at the possibility of creating a thorough design solution that contributes to people in need can be located, provided security and helped significantly faster than today without requiring significant resources. With this as a backdrop, I wanted to create a concept that would contribute to that more people were found and could be saved. Through an extensive research of how a rescue operation is conducted, interviews with police and Missing People, as well as observations during actual operations, I identified a few main problem areas that my concept generation would center around. Together with my sponsor, we wanted to create something that can best be described as a robotic eagle with hyper vision, long flight time and a positive association for the victim. The result is Aetos (Greek for eagle). A modular drone-system with innovative features to handle with long flights and demanding rescue missions. Thanks to an aerodynamic shape and a remote-controlled system Aetos requires minimal resources to create overview and help in locating the missing person. We want to save lives, and it can Aetos that.

"No one gets what this is like for young people because no one asks." (Debra, Study 1)
More than 38,000 people are reported missing to state and territory police in Australia annually, with one to two per cent of those reported who remain missing long-term. The impact on the psychosocial well-being of those left behind of any age is profound. Australian research shows that for every person reported missing in Australia each year, 12 people, on average, are affected in some way. Young people are largely unrecognised within the research, policy, and practice as part of the population that is left behind. They are neither seen nor heard. Their loss remains ambiguous and unresolved, and with little recognition of their presence, their psychosocial support needs are consequently unrecognised and unaddressed.
This thesis explores the experience of young people who have a long-term missing loved one – a father, grandfather, sibling or cousin - bringing the experience of young people when a loved one is missing into the spotlight, to remind others of their presence in families and communities affected by the loss of a missing person, and to inform practice and service provider responses. The research is informed by the construct of ambiguous loss as a theoretical framework, and the related concepts of trauma and loss, coping and resilience. Each young person sits within a family, a community, and a wider societal context.
The research comprised three studies to address the overarching aims and questions. Studies 1 and 2 employed semi-structured interviews with ten young people and eight parents whose lives were impacted by the loss of a missing loved one. These 18 participants are related to nine long-term missing people, who had been missing between two-and-a-half and 43 years, at the time of interview. Study 3 employed an anonymous survey questionnaire targeting service providers coming into contact with families and young people left behind when a loved one is a missing person. It sought information about their response to and understanding of the support needs of young people whose loved one is a missing person.
A phenomenological approach to inquiry and thematic data analysis identified four themes - living with not knowing, recognising young people, a growing awareness, and supporting young people, and revealed a number of significant findings. These findings are: 1) young people experience the loss of a missing loved one as traumatic and distressing; 2) living with not knowing becomes even more challenging for young people when those within the young person's network do not understand the nature of ambiguous loss and its impact on young people; 3) young people feel supported when their presence is recognised and they are purposefully included by those who are able to be emotionally available to them and provide a secure base.
Finally, the study recommends that service providers within the missing persons sector and others who may have contact with those left behind, including law enforcement, educators, and mental health professionals, need to be trauma-informed about the nature and impact of ambiguous loss and to work collaboratively in an interagency context. A trauma-informed approach that recognises and includes young people, and is responsive to their psychosocial support needs delivers best practice.

Virtual reality has applications in different fields of knowledge such as Engineering, Science, Arts, Entertainment and Education. In this work, virtual reality is used to help solving the problem of missing persons. The proposed methodology uses simulated diploid reproduction of virtual characters carefully modeled taking into account the traits of the missing personâs parents. The parents models are generated in the age of son at the moment of disappearance and genetic characteristics of both parents are stored into their genomic data structure, which will be used to construct pools of male and female gametes to be used in a simulated fecundation. The descendants are generated with the same age of the missing person at the time of disappearance. Through an interactive process, a plausible model of the missing person is selected among the generated descendants and its genomic data structure is saved. The parentsâ models and corresponding data structures are updated to reflect the age of the missing person at search time. Next, the genomic data structure of the missing person is updated with the information contained in the updated data structure of the parents, and an updated model of the missing person is generated. This updated model is a plausible model, upon which perturbations can be applied to generate several plausible variants. Case studies are presented that demonstrate the potentials of the proposed methodology

Full textAbstract:
Innovation is what makes a business sustainable. For an organization to progress in their realization of innovations, a vital aspect is the process from where innovations transfer from ideas to valuable realities. Recent studies have addressed the capabilities required in order for an organization to innovate. This paper aims to investigate what key elements that are missing through the different phases of the innovation process, in terms of different capabilities and personas within an organization. Not many studies have previously done this connection to each phase of the process. We would like to address this fact and as such contribute to the scientific research by directing all missing elements to the phase in which they are of importance. This is done by quantitative measures through data supplied by the company Innovation360, combined with qualitative interviews of organizations within the manufacturing industry. The main findings suggest that organizations struggle with customer insights in the ideation phase, and a structured selection phase before conducting almost functional prototypes. Mostly, this is a result of too close relationships and collaborations with current customers and a short term focus on innovation to reassure return on investment.Innovation är det som gör en verksamhet hållbar. För att en organisation ska kunna utvecklas i arbetet med innovation är det av hög vikt att ha en fungerande process på plats som stödjer transformationen av en idé till värdefulla realiteter. Tidigare forskning har kommit fram till ett antal viktiga förmågor som är nödvändiga för att en organisation ska lyckas med innovation. Den här studien syftar till att undersöka vilka nyckelfaktorer som saknas i de olika stegen av innovationsprocessen, både vad gäller olika förmågor och personas representerade i en organisation. Det finns inte många studier som har gjort kopplingen till varje steg i innovationsprocessen tidigare. Därför vill vi adressera det och därmed bidra till forskningen genom att härleda de saknade faktorerna till den fas där de är viktiga. Studien är utförd med kvantitativa mätningen genom data tillhandahållen av företaget Innovation360, kombinerat med kvalitativa intervjuer av företag inom tillverkningsindustrin. Vårt huvudresultat indikerat att organisationer kämpar med att erhålla kundinsikter i den första idégenereringsfasen, samt att det generellt råder en avsaknad av en strukturerad urvalsprocess innan man utvecklar nästan helt fungerande prototyper. Detta går mestadels att knyta an till för nära relationer och samarbeten med befintliga kunder och ett kortsiktigt fokus på innovation för att säkra upp för avkastningen.

Cette expérience a exploré la théorie de l'origine extraterrestre des briques du vivant en étudiant leur comportement dans les conditions de l'espace. La mission s'est déroulée du 16 avril au 23 juillet 1999. Des échantillons de leucine (Leu), d'a-methyl leucine (MeLeu), de dicétopipérazine de leucine (DKP) et de thioéthylester de trileucine (Leu3SEt) ont été exposés à l'extérieur de la station orbitale MIR. Les composés ont été irradiés à l'état solide sous la forme de films de 0. 5 um d'épaisseur et associés à des films de matière minérale de 5um d'épaisseur (argile, poudres de basalte et de météorite d'Allende). Ils ont été choisis pour mettre en évidence une éventuelle racémisation, étudier la stabilité de la liaison peptidique et favoriser une polymérisation induite photochimiquement. Les matières minérales ont été choisies pour étudier l'influence de leur nature sur la réactivité des composés organiques associés. Des épaisseurs variables de films de poudre météoritique ont été réalisées afin de mesurer son taux de protection sur la DKP et sur Leu3SEt.

I den här studien undersöks hur användningen av sociala medier ser ut, när socialt kommunikativa gymnasieungdomar med stor social tillhörighet, umgås. Studien ämnar ta reda på hur användningen ser ut, av vilka anledningar socialt kommunikativa ungdomar med social tillhörighet använder sociala medier och hur umgängesklimatet påverkas när sociala medier används under fysiskt pågående umgänge. Idén till studien grundar sig i en observation av ungdomar med ovan presenterade egenskaper, som under tiden de umgås med sina vänner frekvent använder sociala medier. En kvalitativ intervjustudie genomförs med utgångspunkt i den medie- och kommunikationsvetenskapliga teorin Uses and gratification theory samt Social identity theory, som är en välanvänd teori bland tidigare genomförd forskning inom sociala medier. Fem djupintervjuer genomförs således och vid avkodning av intervjumaterialet utkristalliseras tre huvudspår, utifrån frågeställningarna och fem underkategorier: ”Hur använder socialt kommunikativa ungdomar, med social tillhörighet, sociala medier när de umgås med sina vänner?”, ”Av vilka anledningar använder kommunikativa ungdomar med social trygghet sociala medier?” med tillhörande underkategorier, identitetsskapande, Fear of missing out, brist på underhållning, sociala medier som tillflykt samt vanebeteende och slutligen ”Hur påverkas umgängesklimatet när sociala medier används?” Resultatet visar, bland annat, att ungdomarna ofta väljer att använda sociala medier för att ta paus och hämta ny energi för att sedan orka vara sociala, i det pågående umgänget, igen.

La these jette les fondements des raisons de l'initiative historiographique franciscaine et la necessite des freres d'apprendre le nahuatl pour la christianisation de leurs nouveaux disciples. Ce fut dans le deroulement de cette mission franciscaine que la "huehuetlahtolli" ou parole ancienne fut redigee en nahuatl puis traduite en castillan; on l'utilisa en meme temps dans la diffusion de la doctrine chretienne en nahuatl. Les versions castillanes de la parole ancienne furent utilisees par divers chroniqueurs pour la defense des indiens. Les deux choses ont ete possibles grace aux valeurs morales et ethiques cheres aux chretiens. Nous avons faite une breve analyse de la rhetorique du discours en castillan, ainsi que des diverses opinions d'auteurs contemporains sur le discours meme et sur la vision de "l'autre" attribuee aux redacteurs du discours. L'analyse finale du discours a ete realisee a partir d'exemples de la parole ancienne traduite par olmos dont l'oeuvre est conservee dans les ouvrages de alonso de zorita, fr. Viseo et geronimo de mendieta; ainsi que d'exemples en espagnol de sahagun, livre vi du codex florentine. La recherche de l'origine temporelle, geographique et de classes sociales a donne des resultats negatifs chez les deux auteurs. La vision de l'autre revelee est d'egalite. Les vertus recommandes dans la huehuetlahtolli sont : le respect mutuel entre toutes les personnes, l'amabilite, la patience, l'attention, la moderation et la dignite dans tous les actes de la vie; les vices bannis sont l'orgueil, la vanite, la fierte, l'arrogance et les exces en tout. Personne et societe s'appuient mutuellement : la personne qui respecte les regles se sent en securite a l'interieur de la societe et, suivant le degre du delit comis, celui qui ne les respectera pas se verra marginalise, et pourra meme etre comdamne a mort. Les punitions sont fixees et imposees par ceux qui apliquent la justice, representants de la societe.

Full textAbstract:
Water, and particularly clean water is essential for humans with a profound effect on health and has the capacity to reduce illnesses. Paradoxical, water is a medium where disease causing agents could be transmitted into the human body. Water can cause illness both from distribution of pathogenic organisms into the human system and also if not consumed in a required amount, leading to dehydration and other complications. Today catastrophes and disasters hit different areas in various forms. When such an event occurs, infrastructure is often disturbed or destroyed, and the supply of fresh water may be threatened. The Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) is a government agency in Sweden, with a task to developing the community’ssocietal ability to prevent and handle emergencies, accidents and crises. The agency support various actors when a crisis or an accident occurs, both abroad and at a national level. The personnelal supporting at a crisis zone is sometimes working under extreme conditions where basic needs, such as access to food and fresh water can be a deficiency. To ensure that the personnel working at these sites can continue to solve problems without risking their own health caused by dehydration or other waterborne diseases, different methods can be used to treat water for personal use. Five different products intended for personal water treatment are chlorine dioxide pills, chlorine dioxide liquid, the Katadyn filter bottle, the Lifesaver filter bottle and the UV-lamp SteriPEN. These products use different water treatment techniques to purify water and secure the access to fresh water during exposed conditions. The aim with this study is to create an information basis in order for MSB to choose water treatment product for their future international missions. This is done by examine four parameters of these different products; purification capacity, manageability, environmental impact and economic aspects. The study showed that there is no product that pervading is best according to all parameters, they all have their pros and cons. The product that was best on average throughout the whole study is the SteriPEN but only if used during 10 or more missions. If a product should be used for only five or fewer missions, the chlorine dioxide liquid is recommended to use. At sites where the raw water is heavily contaminated a combination of two products could be an option, as a result of this thesis it is recommended to combine the chlorine dioxide liquid and the SteriPEN. This study is done qualitative and the result is based on literature, laboratorial reports and own measurements and calculations. Actual field tests are needed to further evaluate the products. The importance is that the product functions practically during MSBs working conditions, so relief workers really applicate the product to purify water and not refrain because it is not compatible with the working situations. If the product isn’t used because of these reasons it shouldn’t be used because it puts the relief workers at health risks.Vatten, och i synnerhet rent vatten är livsavgörande för människor och har en grundlig hälsoeffekt med en förmåga att reducera hälsoåkommor. Paradoxalt nog är vatten samtidigt ett transportmedium för ämnen som orsakar sjukdomar. Vatten kan orsaka sjukdom och illamående både från distributionen av patogena ämnen in i människokroppen men också om intaget av vatten inte är tillräckligt för kroppen, vilket kan leda till uttorkning med stora komplikationer. Idag drabbas vissa områden av katastrofer och olyckor i varierande form. När sådana kriser och katastrofer sker, blir ofta infrastruktur skadad eller förstörd vilket kan medföra att tillgången till rent vatten hotas. Myndigheten för Samhällsskydd och Beredskap (MSB) är en myndighet i Sverige, med uppgift att utveckla social kapacitet för att motverka och hantera nödsituationer, olyckor och kriser. Myndigheten stödjer olika aktörer när en kris eller olycka uppstår, både utomlands och på nationell nivå. Personalen som stödjer på plats i en kriszon arbetar ibland under extrema förhållanden där basala nödvändigheter, som t.ex. tillgången till mat och rent vatten kan vara en bristvara. För att säkerhetsställa att personalen som arbetar på dessa platser kan fortsätta att lösa sin uppgift utan att riskera sitt eget välbefinnande på grund av vattenbrist eller andra vattenrelaterade sjukdomar, kan olika metoder för vattenrening på personlig nivå användas. I den här studien valdes fem olika produkter avsedda för personlig vattenrening ut; klordioxid i tablettform, klordioxid i vätskeform, Katadynflaskan, Lifesaverflaskan och UV-lampan SteriPEN. Dessa produkter utnyttjar olika tekniker för att rena vatten och säkerhetsställa tillgången av rent vatten under utsatta situationer. Målet med den här studien är att skapa en informationsbas som underlag för MSB att använda sig av när de väljer vattenreningsmetod för kommande internationella insatser. Fem produkter utvärderats därför utifrån fyra parametrar; reningskapacitet, handhavande, miljöpåverkan och ekonomisk aspekt. Studien visade att det inte var någon enskild produkt som genomgående var bäst utifrån alla parametrar, de hade alla sina för och nackdelar. Produkten som överlag fick bäst resultat genom studien var SteriPEN men det utifrån att produkten används under tio insatser eller mer. Om en produkt endast ska användas under ett fåtal insatser är klordioxid i vätskeform att föredra. På platser där råvattnet är skarpt kontaminerat kan en kombination av två olika produkter vara aktuell, rekommenderat är att kombinera klordioxid i vätskeform med SteriPEN, draget som slutsats av resultatet av denna studie. Det här är en kvalitativ studie och resultatet grundar sig på litteratur, analysresultat från laboratorietester samt egna mätningar och beräkningar. Faktiska tester i fält är nödvändiga för att vidare utvärdera produkterna. Det viktiga är att produkten faktiskt fungerar praktiskt baserat på förhållandena MSB arbetar under så att hjälparbetare verkligen använder produkten för att rena kontaminerat vatten och inte avstår att använda produkten på grund av att den inte är kompatibel med arbetsförhållandena. Om produkten inte används på grund av den anledningen ska den inte användas i fält då den utsätter hjälparbetarnas hälsa för risk.

Full textAbstract:
In the coming 20 years, unmanned aerial data collection will be of great importance to many sectors of civilian life. Of these systems, Personal Remote Sensing (PRS) Small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUASs), which are designed for scientic data collection, will need special attention due to their low cost and high value for farming, scientic, and search-andrescue uses, among countless others. Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs: large-scale, pervasive automated systems that tightly couple sensing and actuation through technology and the environment) can use sUASs as sensors and actuators, leading to even greater possibilities for benet from sUASs. However, this nascent robotic technology presents as many problems as possibilities due to the challenges surrounding the abilities of these systems to perform safely and eectively for personal, academic, and business use. For these systems, whose missions are dened by the data they are sent to collect, safe and reliable mission quality is of highest importance. Much like the dawning of civil manned aviation, civilian sUAS ights demand privacy, accountability, and other ethical factors for societal integration, while safety of the civilian National Airspace (NAS) is always of utmost importance. While the growing popularity of this technology will drive a great effort to integrate sUASs into the NAS, the only long-term solution to this integration problem is one of proper architecture. In this research, a set of architectural requirements for this integration is presented: the Architecture for Ethical Aerial Information Sensing or AERIS. AERIS provides a cohesive set of requirements for any architecture or set of architectures designed for safe, ethical, accurate aerial data collection.
In addition to an overview and showcase of possibilities for sUAS-enabled CPSs, specific examples of AERIS-compatible sUAS architectures using various aerospace design methods are shown. Technical contributions include specic improvements to sUAS payload architecture and control software, inertial navigation and complementary lters, and online energy and health state estimation for lithium-polymer batteries in sUAS missions. Several existing sUASs are proled for their ability to comply with AERIS, and the possibilities of AERIS data-driven missions overall is addressed.

International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 26-29, 1998 / Town & Country Resort Hotel and Convention Center, San Diego, CaliforniaUniversal acceptance of the Windows NT operating system has made utilization of the personal computer (PC) platform for critical space operations a reality. The software attributes of the operating system allow PC products to attain the reliability necessary for secure control of on-orbit assets. Not only is the software more reliable, it supports better networking interfaces at higher speeds. The software upgrades that the Microsoft Corporation generates on a regular basis allow PCs to offer capabilities previously available only with UNIX-based solutions. As technology matures, PCs will operate faster, offer more graphical user interfaces, and give customers a lower cost versus performance choice. These reasons, and others to be discussed further, clearly demonstrate that PCs will soon take their place at the forefront of mission-critical ground station applications.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis follows my journey as an educator to find purpose and fulfillment in a career whose demands make it challenging to maintain balance between work and life. The mental, emotional, and physical energy that working in a "helping" or "giving" profession demands often poses a threat to valuable personal and family time, as well as a struggle to keep professionals working in these fields.
