Abstract:

Genom massmedierna kan hela samhällen bli influerade. Med tanke på medieteknikutvecklingen så har det varit intressant att ta reda på om medietekniken har bidragit till utvecklingen av psyops användande. Med medieperspektivet som bakgrund har uppsatsen svarat på om det första informationskriget, Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, har följts upp med ännu mer användande av psyops.

Med slutsatser så som att psyops har fått en mer framträdande roll i krigföringen och att förändringarna kan härledas till medieteknikutvecklingen kan också frågeställningen besvaras.

Slutsatsen är att Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm har följts upp med ännu mer användande av psyops. Med medietekniken som bakgrund är denna en av anledningarna till att psyops utvecklats men också vice versa.

För att besvara dessa frågor har en faktainhämtning gjorts på området för att sedan kunna jämföra de olika operationernas mål, medel och metoder.

Abstract:

Försvarsmaktens förändring genom reformarbetet mot ett insatt insatsförsvar, har lett till ett fokus mot delvis nya uppgifter. Expeditionära operationer är en sådan uppgift, som innebär förändrade krav och förmågor på materiel och personal. Problemet, som uppsatsen vill belysa, är att vid planering och genomförande är taktiska uppgifter i operationsområdet dimensionerande i för hög grad. På det viset läggs inte tillräcklig kraft på hur förbandet ska komma på plats och hur bäst förutsättningar för uthållighet ska säkerställas över tiden. Det är därför angeläget att en noggrann analys genomförs i planläggningsskedet, så att egna kritiska sårbarheter kan identifieras.

Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka kritiska sårbarheter som är tydligast ur ett logistiskt perspektiv, vid en vald expeditionär operation. Innebörden är att identifiera de kritiska sårbarheterna som uppstod och de som skulle ha kunnat påverka den expeditionära operationens målsättning.

Den expeditionära operationen som behandlas är den svenska insatsen i Tchad 2008. Analysverktyget som används för att genomlysa den är en operationalisering av Milan Vegos operationella faktorer tid, rum och styrka.

Resultatet pekar på tre områden som kritiska sårbarheter. De identifierades vid deployering och redeployering, inom hälso- och sjukvården samt av att förbandet inte klarade att hantera den omfattande mängden materiel och förnödenheter.


The Swedish Armed Forces have, as a consequence of the transformation, focused on partly new tasks. Expeditionary operations are one of these tasks, which denote changed demands on equipment and necessary competence of the personnel. The problem this study will try to clarify is the risk within focus too much on the tactical task in the area of operations. In that way the planning doesn't evaluate the needs in its entirety. To overlook details in the deployment and the endurance in the area could create critical vulnerabilities already in the planning of the operation.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the most obvious critical vulnerabilities, in a logistic perspective, during a chosen expeditionary operation. Both to identify the critical vulnerabilities arisen and those which could have had an affect on the aim of the expeditionary operation.

The expeditionary operation is the case-study of the Swedish participation in EUFOR Chad/CAR 2008. The tool that is used to analyze the case-study is the author's interpretation of Milan Vegos operational factors time, space and force.

The result of the study shows three areas as critical vulnerabilities. They were identified at deployment and redeployment, within the medical service and that the force couldn't manage to deal with the amount of equipment and supplies

It then compares the two processes against historical data from Fiscal Year 2007-2010 to study how the DoN could use the FOM within the Program Objectives Memorandum (POM) development process. The results show the Navy would be well advised to continue its current methods to develop the POMs. The FOM is still in the process of development, and the methods used by the Navy today are providing more accurate, consistent forecasts for facility operations.

Abstract:
Le développement de nouvelles filières BiCMOS permettra, grâce aux améliorations technologiques apportées aux TBH (Transistor Bipolaire à Hétérojonction) SiGe:C, d’atteindre des performance dynamiques au-delà de 0.5 THz. Un aspect important doit être investigué : il s’agit de l’aire de sécurité de fonctionnement (SOA : Safe operating area) au-delà du classique BVCEO. En effet, de par la complexité des futures architectures de TBH(comme la B55X de chez STMicroelectronics) et de par leur taille nanométrique, il est attendu une augmentation des effets physiques présents dans ces transistors. Par ailleurs,en raison de la dépendance croissante de la conception de circuits vis-à-vis des outils logiciels, on s’attend à devoir développer des efforts supplémentaires pour concevoir des modèles compacts davantage prédictifs. Ainsi, le sous-projet SOA est conçu pour décrire l’aire de sécurité de fonctionnement des TBH SiGe :C de taille nanométrique en vue de son intégration dans le modèle compact en tenant compte des aspects critiques.Dans le premier chapitre, une description précise des régimes de fonctionnement au delà de la tension de claquage BVCEO est développée. Le modèle compact HICUM est amélioré pour prendre en compte les mécanismes se produisant dans cette région afin de modéliser précisément le phénomène d’avalanche et l’effet de focalisation du courant au centre de l’émetteur. Une validation de ce nouveau modèle est réalisée au travers de simulations TCAD mais aussi par des caractérisations électriques de différents TBH de tailles variées et pour de multiples températures.Dans le second chapitre, le comportement des transistors bipolaires proche des limites de fonctionnement a été étudié. Une étude de l’effet de focalisation du courant et du phénomène de “snapback” est réalisée pour en définir précisement les limites de fonctionnementà forts courants et tensions et une zone de stabilité est définie.Dans de troisième chapitre, le vieillissement accéléré de TBH est réalisé pour des régimes de fonctionnement aux frontières de la zone de sécurité de fonctionnement. Un modèle de vieillissement est alors développé pour prendre en compte les mécanismes d’usure se produisant dans ces régimes de fonctionnement.En conclusion, ce travail a permis de modéliser de manière précise les TBH SiGe àforts courant et tensions tout en prenant en compte les mécanismes d’usure se produisant dans ces régimes de polarisation
The development of new BiCMOS technology will be possible, thanks to the SiGe:CHBTs technological improvements to reach dynamic performance beyond 0.5 THz. Animportant aspect to be investigated is the Safe Operating Area (SOA) beyond the traditionalBVCEO. In fact, due to the complexity of future architectures of HBTs (likethe B55X from STMicroelectronics) and their nanoscale size, an increase of the wear-outmechanisms occurring in these transistors is expected. In addition, because of the increasingdependence of circuit design on software tools, it is expected that additional effortswill be required to develop more predictive compact models. Thus, the SOA sub-projectis designed to describe the functional safety area of nanoscale SiGe:C HBTs allowing thecompact model to take into account critical aspects.After a short introduction, a precise description of the transistor operations beyondthe breakdown voltage is detailed in the second chapter. The compact model HICUM isimproved to account for the mechanisms occurring in this region to accurately model theavalanche regime and the pinch-in effect. This new model is validated on TCAD simulationsand through electrical measurements on different devices, architecture, geometriesand temperatures.In the third chapter, the investigation is deepen towards the device border’s operation.A study of the pinch-in effect and the snapback behavior is therefore realized to understandthe operation limitations at high currents and voltages and a stable operation regime isintroduced.In the fourth chapter, accelerated aging tests are carried out at the boundaries of thesafe operating area to submit the transistor to thermal and hot carriers stresses during itsoperation. An aging model is developed to account for the wear-out mechanism occurringin that regime.To conclude, this work allowed to increase the modeling of SiGe HBTs at high voltagesand currents accounting for the wear-out mechanisms occurring in that operation regime

Abstract:
Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) created multiple challenges for the mental health of soldiers who served there. The local facility in this study determined there was a gap in providing OEF/OIF veterans assistance with mental health issues. The practice-focused question explored whether a training module for nurses would assist in the identification of signs and symptoms of mental health issues in OEF/OIF veterans, such as posttraumatic stress disorder, anxiety, depression, addictions, and suicidal/homicidal ideations, to help ensure timely referral for services. The project used Kolcaba's comfort theory as the basis for the training module. A pretest, training module, and posttest were created and administered to the expert panel. Results showed the training module contained information to assist nurses in identifying the signs and symptoms of mental health issues as well as educated the nurses on various interventions that were available for the veterans. It was determined by the expert panel that the training module should be implemented to assist in decreasing the gap in care for OEF/OIF veterans. This training module might support positive social change by empowering nurses to assist veterans with coping skills overcome mental health issues and lead positive and productive lives.

Abstract:
Den Begriff "Dispositiv" hat Foucault nicht viel länger als den des "Archivs" benutzt. Nach seinem eigenen Bekenntnis sind Begriffe nur "Werkzeuge" des Analysierens, einer methodologischen Fixierung war er grundsätzlich abhold und privilegierte lieber die Erfindung passender Kategorien im konkreten Zusammenhang historischer Forschungen. Vom Dispositiv spricht er am ausführlichsten im Zusammenhang mit seinem Spätwerk, der "Geschichte der Sexualität". Der Begriff ist jenseits dieses Verwendungszusammenhangs allerdings auch anderweitig erfolgreich benutzt worden, und kann auch im hier angesprochenen Zusammenhang eine gewisse Geltung beanspruchen. Als Dispositiv kann eine Bibliothek im Foucaultschen Sinne angesehen werden, wenn institutionelle, administrative und architektonische Gesichtspunkte im Sinne eines Ensembles oder eines Netzwerks rekonstruierbar sind. Dafür liegen in Wolfenbüttel jedenfalls eine Reihe von historischen Zeugnissen vor. Oie Bibliothek als Dispositiv zu verstehen, bedeutet weiterhin, das intellektuelle Unternehmen ihrer Anlage und Disposition, ihrer Vermehrung und ihrer Verfügbarkeit, im Zusammenhang mit administrativen, institutionellen Maßnahmen und allgemein einer Politik ihrer Handhabung zu sehen.

Abstract:
This paper provides an explanation of the concepts John A. Warden III describes regarding the use of air power and if this theory can be found, within the confines of an unconventional war. The U.S. ability to air power is overwhelming, however the right kind of warfare can force this great power to abandon their military and political objectives by exhausting its resources over time as it becomes increasingly costly, both economically, politically and morally, to wage war. The research deals with operation Rolling Thunder and John A. Warden IIIs theory in relation to this massive bombing campaign. Firstly, you will find an analysis of John. A. Warden III's works. Five concepts can be found: Airspace Control, center of gravity, air interdiction, the enemy as a system and parallel attack. Secondly, a content analysis of relevant literature in the context of a case study on Operation Rolling Thunder. Thirdly a comparative analysis between the two results with a subsequent discussion relating the main problem and an effort is made to determine the outcome of the investigation and if the purpose of this paper has been met. Within the implementation phases of Operation Rolling Thunder, it is possible to distinguish som of Wardens key concepts regarding air power utilization. Even though the four phases illustrate a continuous change in strategy, Wardens theory The Enemy as a system was never implemented.
Denna uppsats ger en förklaring av John A. Warden IIIs teori om nyttjande av luftmakt och de begrepp som utgör grunden för denna. Frågan om grundbegreppen går att återfinna inom ramarna för ett otraditionellt krig tas upp. USAs förmåga till luftmakt är stor, men med rätt sorts krigföring kan även denna makt tvingas överge sina militära och politiska mål genom utmattning över en längre tidsperiod eftersom det blir allt dyrare, både ekonomiskt, politiskt och moraliskt, att föra krig. Här avhandlas operationen Rolling Thunder och John A. Warden IIIs teoris anknytning till denna enorma bombkampanj. Inledningsvis återfinns en innehållsanalys av John. A. Warden IIIs litteratur, vilket utmynnar i fem begrepp: Luftrumskontroll, tyngdpunkter, flyganfall på djupet, fienden som ett system och parallell attack. Efter det följer en innehållsanalys av relevant litteratur inom ramen för en fallstudie om Rolling Thunder och slutligen påträffas en komparativ analys mellan de två resultaten och en efterföljande diskussion knyter an till problemformuleringen och försöker utröna resultatet av undersökningen och om syftet med uppsatsen uppfyllts. I genomförandefaserna av Operation Rolling Thunder är det möjligt att urskilja vissa av Wardens centrala begrepp och tankar om luftmaktens nyttjande, men hans teori som helhet går inte att återfinna i genomförandet av Rolling Thunder. Trots att de fyra faserna åskådliggör en upprepad förändring i strategi, användes aldrig Wardens teori om fienden som ett system.

Abstract:
Thesis (MA (Political Science. International Studies))--Stellenbosch University, 2005.
Peace operations and security co-operations are expensive. Even though there are a variety of factors that influences peace agents when they consider approving a new, expanding an existing, or closing down a peace operation or security co-operation, one of these factors is the cost factor. If we were to isolate the cost factor it would follow that a reduction in the cost of peace operations and security co-operations, are likely to contribute to peace agents being more willing to approve new, expand existing or to give existing missions more time to consolidate before closing them down. There are a variety of ways how the cost of peace operations or security co-operations can be lowered. This thesis suggests an alliance with the private sector in the form of corporate sponsorships. In short, that peace operations and security co-operations be commodified and commercialised. This would entail introducing corporate sponsorship of some of the commodities that are used in peace operations and security co-operations, followed by the corporate sponsor using their involvement in the peace operation or security co-operation to their commercial advantage. The commodification and commercialisation of peace operations and security co-operations should result in the relevant operations and co-operations benefiting in a cost-effective as well as practical effectiveness sense, whereas the private sponsor should benefit in either or both a financial (profit) or an image-making sense. The psychological theory supporting such an argument is that of social identity theory. This theory explains how positive connotations made with peacemaking in warlike conditions will motivate industries to use this opportunity to show that their products can succeed in such demanding circumstances. Accordingly, social identity theory provides us with evidence as to how the commercialisation and commodification of peace operations and security co-operations can succeed. We also support our argument by providing a case study, Operation Rachel, which serves as a successful example of an operation that was (partially) commodified and commercialised. Operation Rachel, which can be seen as either or both a peace operation and security co-operation, shows that in the case of security co-operations, these operations should be presented as peace operations during the commodification and commercialisation processes.

Abstract:
Since the population growth of Stockholm Region is rapid, leading to larger demand on Public Transport and especially metro, four Municipalities of the Region have agreed on the expansion of the metro network. Blue metro line will be extended to Nacka and Hagsatra in the south and Barkarby in the north of the Swedish capital. The new railway line connections have been already planned, while the operation of the expanded line is analyzed in the current thesis. Taking the expected increase of passenger volumes and the operation of the current Blue line into account and following the safety restrictions, two alternative regular timetables of the expanded Blue line, limited to the morning rush service on a working weekday, have been constructed. The operation at stations of low expected passenger volume on the train is evaluated concerning the satisfaction of the operator. The rst alternative metro operation with trac every 4 minutes during the rush hour is concluded to be less ecient than the second alternative with 5 minutes headway, as 21 % larger amount of rolling stock is needed and more seats are not occupied. Finally, in order to achieve higher operational eciency at the low-demanded stations, a third Blue line operation, that is based on the second alternative and it includes short services, operating on a part of the line and not on the full-length of it, has been proposed. Although the number of trains needed for the morning peak hour operation remains constant between the second and third alternative operations, the proportion of empty seats at the analyzed stations is expected to be lower during the last alternative operation, resulting in a metro line scheduling that satises the operator most.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis assesses British naval and military co-operation in the form of combined operations during the Nine Years War, 1688-1697, and the War of the Spanish Succession, 1702-1713. The operational history of the joint actions is related and used to drive forward the determination of two inter-related themes. These are, how combined operations might be defined as an instrument of warfare during this period; and secondly, the place of such operations within the military component of Britain's wartime Grand Strategy. With respect to the former, previous definitions embodying the benchmarks of objectives and composition of force are set against the history and built upon to incorporate three further categories of definition: theatre of war, bureaucratic control and command structure. As a result, it is argued that no blanket definition for combined operations can be arrived at, but that any one of the five categories can provide insights into combined operations as an instrument of warfare. The second theme places the strategic objectives of these operations within the context of British war policy and explores their relationship to the 'Maritime' and 'Continental' strategic traditions. While it becomes clear that combined operations were thought to possess neither an independent nor a war-winning strategic capability, they do appear to have consistently filled a role in Grand Strategy which acted either simultaneously or separately in support of the naval and military strategic interests. With the categories for definition and a strategic role established for such joint army-navy ventures, the thesis concludes by considering whether during these wars there were any factors common to the more successful, and conversely to the failing, combined operations. Although a pattern or mould for a successful combined operation cannot be established, it is shown that the origins of the developed historical practice of this type of warfare - demonstrated to such effect later in the eighteenth century - can be traced in the two wars considered in this study.

Abstract:
Strategic bombing was introduced as an idea in the early 20th century and became debated in its first use during the first world war. John Warden, a modern proponent for strategic bombing, puts forth the idea that the introduction of precision-guided-munitions allows for strategic bombing to be a viable and more importantly the optimal use for airpower in armed conflicts today. Warden markets his theory, the enemy as a system, as a method that allows airpower to be deployed and alone be able to achieve strategic effects and win wars. Skeptics to this idea argue that empirical evidence shows that modern strategic bombing does not produce strategic effects that wins wars therefor making it inferior to other methods of employing airpower. Because the debate is heavily focused on the strategic level, the lower levels becomes neglected. This essay will test Wardens theory on the operational level of war with the purpose to examine what effects, if not strategic, are generated at the operational level and how it affects an offensive and defensive actor of a war. The results will aim to answer whether John Wardens theory of strategic bombing generates effect and is a viable method for airpower for the operational level of warfare.

Abstract:
Many offshore installations are dependent on power generated by gas turbines and a critical issue is that these experience performance deterioration over time. Performance deterioration causes reduced plant efficiency and power output as well as increased environmental emissions. It is therefore of highest importance to detect and control recoverable losses in order to reduce their effect. This thesis project was therefore initiated to evaluate parameters for detecting performance deterioration in addition to document different aspects of gas turbine degradation and performance recovery. Compressor fouling is the largest contributor to performance deterioration. Investigating fouling was therefore the main focus of this study.In the present study the deterioration rates of four different gas turbines were evaluated. When choosing gas turbines it was emphasised to select gas turbines operating under equal conditions but with different washing procedures. In addition to offline washing two of the gas turbines had daily online washing routines and one of the gas turbines run idle wash every 1000 hour between each offline wash. Data was extracted from the monitoring software, TurboWatch, and loaded into Excel files. MATLAB scripts were created to handle the large amount of data and visualize performance trends. Series of two parameters were plotted against each other and the graphs were evaluated.The evaluation showed that an overall trend was that the gas turbine that had been running with online washing continuously over a long period of time had higher performance than the reference engine. For the second gas turbine a daily online washing procedure has recently started. The advantage with the evaluation of this gas turbine was that a good reference engine was available. The two engines were operating under quite similar conditions at the same location in addition to having equal filter systems. Some deterioration trends were possible to detect. For the first period both engines seemed to have quite equal deterioration trends. During the second period no clear trends were seen in corrected CDP and corrected EGT when evaluated for constant GG speed. The compressor efficiency had decreasing trends for both engines during the second period as well, but the compressor efficiency for machine 1 was overall higher during the period with online washing than the previous period. The borescope pictures taken after the first period with online washing showed good visual results. However, it is too premature to make a final decision regarding the exact performance gain of online washing. At the time the study was performed the engine had only been running online washing for one operating interval, and more investigation over longer time is recommended. For the engine running with idle wash it was not possible to conclude on the basis of the collected data. No clear deterioration trends were detected and investigations over longer time and several operating intervals are recommended. It is also important to be aware of the fact that the performance gain of idle wash needs to be much higher than for online washing in order for idle wash to be economically profitable. There are several uncertainties related to performance trends. These include inaccuracy in instrumentation, monitoring software, calibration etc. Due to the fact that all the gas turbines evaluated in this study only have standard instrumentation it caused additional uncertainty in the performance trends. One suggestion for further study is to initiate a test instrumented gas turbine into operation with sensors for measuring inlet pressure depression

Abstract:
Integrated Operation is a strategy to operate the Energy MicroGrid as an integrated system. In this strategy, a CHP plant, an electric water heater, and thermal storage were operated to support both electricity and heat networks of the Energy MicroGrid. An Integrated Optimal Power Flow was formulated and was used to investigate the advantages of this Integrated Operation. Simulations indicated that Integrated Operation minimised generation curtailment and load shedding. It also reduced electricity imported from the main grid and the operating cost.

Abstract:
This thesis evaluates the effect of electricity co-operation regarding import and export on electricity prices for OECD countries and on CO2 emissions for the world. In addition, the study investigates which kinds of renewable energies provide the best economic future for Canada and the U.S. There are three main sections to the thesis. Firstly, panel data analysis determines the electricity price functions, using 29 OECD countries’ yearly data from 1980 to 2007. Membership of the European Union, used to investigate effect of high level co-operation on price, is seen to decrease household and industry prices, but is not significant for household price. The effect of electricity trading in OECD countries is not found to deliver cheaper electricity suggesting that these countries need to co-operate more closely to increase competition and improve efficiency in electricity markets. Secondly, panel data analysis determines parameters of the CO2 emissions function, using 131 countries’ yearly data from 1971 to 2007. The world results show that electricity co-operation is highly significant in decreasing CO2 emissions per unit of generation, thus supporting the hypothesis. At the continent level, Asia shows the highest CO2 decrease from electricity import, with the lowest decrease being for Africa. Electricity export for North America, Latin America and Europe is found to be highly significant in decreasing CO2 emissions. Finally, time series analysis of yearly data for Canada and the U.S. from 1978 to 2009 is used to determine the electricity price functions. For Canada, electricity import is found to be highly significant in decreasing household electricity price, but not so for the U.S. Renewable energies such as wind and hydro are seen to be the future of electricity generation for Canada, but the results for the U.S. indicate that no type of renewable energy can reduce electricity price.

Abstract:
Kalla krigets slut innebar helt förändrade säkerhetspolitiska förutsättningar för de flesta stater. Då var världen uppdelad i två tydliga block med två styrande supermakter i ständig dragkamp medan vi idag har en annan verklighet med många olika allianser och asymmetriska hot av olika slag. Denna säkerhetspoltiska omdaning har också påverkat det vetenskapliga studiet av internationella relationer och framförallt under 90-talet deklarerade flera forskare det liberala perspektivets seger över realismen.  Denna uppsats är en fallstudie som tittar närmare på Europeiska unionens första marina insats, EUNAVFOR - Operation Atalanta och särskilt på Sveriges deltagande i den samma. Syftet är att söka efter de motiv som läggs fram för insatsen i såväl FNs resolutioner som EUs och Sveriges riksdags beslut för att sedan analysera dessa utifrån de två grundläggande vetenskapliga perspektiven inom internationella relationer.  Studien visar att sanningen ligger någonstans mitt emellan dessa två motsatta perspektiv. Båda förhållningsätten innebär ett antal antaganden och förenklingar vilka leder till blinda fläckar i studien och först när man ställer dem emot varandra framkommer helheten. Sveriges deltagande i operation Atalanta kan alltså förklaras av både strikt nationella motiv och av ett delat ansvar inom världssamfundet.
The end of the Cold War meant fundamentally changed conditions for policymaking in security matters for most states. Before, the world was divided between two blocks with two ruling superpowers in a constant tug-of-war, whiles we today have another reality with many different alliances and asymmetric threats of different kinds. This security transformation have also affected the academic study of international relations and in particular during the 90th many scholars declared the victory of the liberal perspective over realism. This thesis is a case study of the European Unions first naval operation, EUNAVFOR – Operation Atalanta and in particular the Swedish participation in this operation. The purpose of the study is to look for the motives in the decisions on different levels, from the UN security council, to the EU council and the Swedish parliament, and to analyze those motives according to the to major perspectives in IR-studies.  The thesis show that truth lies somewhere in between this two opposing perspectives. Both viewpoints result in a number of assumptions and simplifications that lead to blind spots in the study. Not until the two perspectives are compared with each other the whole picture will emerge. Sweden’s participation in operation Atalanta can be explained both with strictly national motives and with a concept of shared responsibility within the international community.

Abstract:
Over 2.1 million United States military service members have deployed to support Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Nearly 40% of OEF/OIF service members meet criteria for an alcohol use disorder post-deployment. Minimal research has addressed alcohol misuse among military healthcare professionals despite the prevalence of alcohol abuse among civilian providers. This study explored whether military healthcare professionals involved with OIF/OEF operations have increased risk for alcohol misuse (i.e., problem drinking, heavy weekly drinking, heavy episodic drinking). Three evidence-based hypotheses were evaluated: (a) among OEF/OIF military personnel, healthcare professionals would have an increased likelihood of alcohol misuse compared to service members in other occupations; (b) personnel who screen positive for PTSD would be more likely to screen positive for alcohol misuse outcomes versus personnel who screen negative for PTSD; and (c) personnel with enlisted status would be more likely to endorse alcohol misuse compared to personnel with officer status. Participants were drawn from 81,247 military personnel enrolled in the Millennium Cohort Study, a prospective, longitudinal cohort study investigating health consequences of military service. Chi-square tests of independence identified significantly different demographic characteristics between participants in the first and second enrollment panels and resulted in participants being divided into subgroups based upon their enrollment panel and baseline alcohol use. Participants who had complete data at baseline and all follow-up waves were included in the primary multinomial logistic regression analyses used to identify variables associated with each alcohol use outcome over time. Results suggested that being a healthcare professional did not influence alcohol misuse outcomes. A positive screening for PTSD was associated with greater endorsement of alcohol misuse outcomes across most participant subgroups, and holding enlisted status was associated with problem drinking and heavy episodic drinking in some participant subgroups. Additional variables associated with alcohol misuse outcomes included being younger, male, using tobacco, and belonging to the National Guard/Reserve. The results of this study suggest that, while alcohol-related interventions may not need to be tailored to specific occupations, alcohol use screening and treatment should continue to be focused on at-risk groups to enhance troop health and functioning.

Abstract:
The purpose of this thesis is to generalize Filippov's operation, and to get more useful results. It includes two main parts: The C-Filippov operation for the finite and countable cases and the Filippov operation with different measures. In the first chapter, we give brief information about the importance of Filippov's operation, our goal and the ideas behind our generalizations. In the second chapter, we give some sufficient background notes. In the third chapter, we introduce the Filippov operation, explain how to calculate the Filippov of a function and give some sufficient properties of it. In the fourth chapter, we introduce a generalization of the Filippov operation, the C-Filippov, and give some of its properties which we need for the next chapter. In the fifth chapter, in the first main part, we discuss some properties of the C-Filippov for special cases and observe the differences and common properties between the Filippov and C-Filippov operations. Finally, in the sixth chapter, we present the other generalization of the Filippov operation which is Filippov with different measures. We observe the properties of the corresponding Filippovs when we know the relationship between the measures. We finish the thesis by summarizing our work and discussing future work.

Abstract:
Até meados dos anos 90 medidas para mensurar os riscos de mercado e crédito foram as maiores fontes de pesquisas acadêmicas em finanças, impulsionadas principalmente pela indústria financeira. Foi então que alguns eventos envolvendo fraudes e erros humanos causaram perdas catastróficas, inclusive a bancarrota de grandes instituições pelo mundo. Em decorrência destes eventos, surge um imenso e ainda pouco explorado campo de pesquisa para outro tipo de risco, o risco operacional. Entende-se que o Risco Operacional está associado à possíveis perdas como resultado de sistemas e/ou controles inadequados, falhas de gerenciamento e erros humanos. Em função de suas características, o risco operacional está presente em qualquer indústria, porém a maior parte de pesquisas acadêmicas e metodologias no âmbito prático estão voltadas para instituições financeiras. Após uma vasta pesquisa, não encontramos nenhuma referência bibliográfica semelhante à desenvolvida pelo setor bancário que pudesse elucidar o nível de maturidade de gestão de riscos operacionais em outros setores. Não encontramos sequer uma definição e classificação difundida dos riscos operacionais para demais indústrias. Desta forma, este trabalho explora os frameworks e metodologias desenvolvidas pela indústria financeira para avaliação e mensuração de riscos operacionais com objetivo de estender estes métodos para outras indústrias. Adicionalmente, aplicam-se os conceitos e metodologias levantados através de um estudo de caso em uma empresa no ramo de óleo e gás.
Before 1990, market and credit risk measures were the major sources of academic research in finance field, motivated by finance industry. However as a consequence of recent financial scandals in the banking industry, involving fraud and human errors, which caused catastrophic losses and even bankruptcy of many institutions around the world, a new and unexplored kind of risk has started to be studied which is called the operational risk. It is defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events. Due to its risk characteristics, it is present in all kind of industry but most academic researches and methodologies are developed for financial institutions. After an extensive search, we didn’t find bibliographic references similar to those in banking sector which could elucidate the operational risk management level of maturity for other sectors. We could not even find a commom definition and classification of operational risks for other industries. Thus, this work intends to explore frameworks and methodologies, developed by financial industry for evaluation and measurement of operational risk, to see how this method can be extended for other industries. Additionally, we applied these concepts and methodologies for a sector of an oil and gas company.

Abstract:
There is a debate on how air power should be employed to attain success in war and conflicts. Although scholars do not fully agree on the subject, there is a consensus that attacking the opponents military forces’, a course of action referred to as denial, can contribute to a positive outcome on the battlefield. This thesis investigates the utility of denial in air operations against regular and irregular opponents. The purpose of this study was to examine Robert Pape’s Denial Theory in a focused and structured comparative case study of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan and Operation Iraqi Freedom in Iraq. The investigation reveals that denial contributed to the ground offensives in both cases, specifically by providing air support in the theatre, which led to the collapse of Saddam Hussein’s regime in Iraq and drew the opponents out of several cities in Afghanistan. The use of operative interdiction made freedom of action possible and resulted in the final collapse of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan. In conclusion the investigation shows that denial may be a suitable modus operandi against both regular and irregular opponents.

Abstract:

This thesis is an approach to improve a two-mode hybrid electric vehicle, which is currently under development by GM, with respect to fuel consumption. The study is not only restricted to the specific two-mode HEV but also presents results regarding parallel as well as serial HEV’s. GM whishes to verify if the online-based controller in the prototype vehicle utilizes the most of the HEV ability and if there is more potential to lower the fuel consumption. The purpose is that the results and conclusions from this work are to be implemented in the controller to further improve the vehicle’s performance. To analyze the behavior of the two-mode HEV and to see where improvements can be made, models of its driveline and components are developed with a focuson losses and efficiency. The models are implemented in MATLAB together with an optimization algorithm based on Dynamic Programming. The models are validated against data retrieved from the prototype vehicle and various cases with different inputs is set up and optimized over the NEDC cycle. Compensation for cold starts and NOx emissions are also implemented in the final model. Deliberate simplifications are made regarding the modeling of the power split’s functionality due to the limited amount of time available for this thesis. The optimizations show that there is potential to lower the fuel consumptionfor the two-mode HEV. The results are further analyzed and the behavior of the engine, motors/generators and battery are compared with recorded data from a prototype vehicle and summarized to a list of suggestions to improve fuel economy.

Abstract:
By reducing ships’ fuel consumption, shipowners can achieve lower operating costs while at the same time reducing their impact on the environment. This report is a study of different measures that can be taken in order to improve ships’ energy efficiency, and a study of how various engine parameters can be related to efficient running of the engine. Several measures have been assessed and related to a specific ship’s energy profile in order to find the fuel and diesel oil savings potential. The ship’s profile has been updated largely based on the different manufacturers’ own estimations of their product’s effect on fuel consumption. Engine data for a two-stroke diesel engine have been collected from a database and are presented compared to the overall efficiency of the engine. The parameters are presented with the goal of identifying which ones, if any, that most accurately indicate the condition of the engine in terms of efficiency.

Abstract:

The typical process modeling and control approach of dealingwith each manufacturing process stage in isolation is re-evaluated anda new approach is developed for the case of a series ofprocess stages and the case of several similar processesoperating in parallel at different sites. The serialmulti-stage modeling framework uses the possible correlationbetween stages as a tool to achieve tighter control of anonstationary process line. The case of several similarprocesses operating in parallel at different sites is termedglobal manufacturing. Global manufacturing allows updatedestimation of the sensitivity or slope parameters over thecourse of the process in some cases since the site effectcauses a spread in the range of the inputs. This spreadin the inputs provides an opportunity for stable sensistivityestimates without perturbing the process as is usuallynecessary. The Bayesian parallel site estimation procedure isshown to have broad application to any scenario where thedata is collected at various related but not identical sites.Specifically, uniformity modeling is explored using theBayesian estimation procedure. The multi-systems operation and controlmethodologies developed for the serial and global manufacturingcases provide valuable tools for the improvement ofmanufacturing processes in many industries.

Abstract:
With continuously increasing urbanization, consumer demands and expansion of water supply systems, determination of efficient pump schedules became a more difficult task. Pumping energy costs constitute a significant part of the operational cost of the water distribution networks. This study aims to provide an effective daily pump schedule by minimizing the energy costs for constant and also for multi tariff of electricity (3 Kademeli Elektrik Tarifesi) in water distribution network. A case study has been performed in an area covering N8.3 and N7 pressure zones which are parts of Ankara water distribution network. Both pressure zones consists of 3 multiple pumps in pump station and one tank having 5000 m3 storage volume each. By using genetic algorithm based software (WaterCAD Darwin Scheduler) least-cost pump scheduling and operation policy for each pump station has been determined while satisfying target hydraulic performance requirements such as minimum and maximum service pressures, final water level of storage tank and maximum velocity in pipeline. 32 different alternative scenarios have been created which include multi tariff energy prices, constant tariff energy price, insulated system condition, uninsulated system condition and different pump combinations. The existing base scenario and alternative scenarios which were prepared by using optimal pump schedules have been compared and the achievements of optimizing pump operation have been analyzed. At the end of the study, a satisfying result has been observed that by using determined optimal pump schedule, minimum % 14 of total energy cost can be saved in existing water supply system.

Abstract:
The task of this project was to investigate the near wake, performance characteristics and yaw moment on a model wind turbine. The test turbine is a horizontal axis three bladed machine with a rotor diameter of 0.9 meter. Initially it is an upwind turbine, but was used for downwind measurements as well by rotating the blades and the entire construction 180^0. For the wake measurements the tip speed ratio was set to be TSR=3, TSR=6 and TSR=9 to describe the different regimes; partly stalled, optimal operation and partly propeller operation. Two different yaw angles, 0^0 and 30^0, was also explored for the near wake measurements. The velocity field was measured at X/D=1, as well as X/D=4 for TSR=6 and the two yaw angles; X/D being the number of rotor diameters downstream from the rotor plane. The performance characteristics and yaw moment were measured for yaw angles 0^0, 10^0, 20^0 and 30^0, and with tip speed ratios from 1 to 11. The power and thrust coefficients were found to decrease with increasing yaw angle. This is due to the reduced projected rotor area and reduced effective wind velocity component interacting with the turbine blades. The loss in power due to the yaw angle of the turbine is approximately 6% for yawAngle=10^0 and 40% for yawAngle=30^0 with upstream configuration. For downstream setup the reduction in power due to the yaw angle was 5.2% and 38% for yawAngle=10^0 and yawAngle=30^0 respectively. The near wake velocity field was strongly influenced by tip speed ratio and yaw angle. At TSR=3 the outer parts of the wake had a velocity close to the freestream velocity. Therefore much of the flow passes through without interacting with the rotor blades. For TSR=6 the velocity deficit was close to uniform in the wake. Most of the turbine blades operate efficiently at the design condition, and gives the peak in the power coefficient curve at this TSR. When TSR=9 the inner part of the blades experience negative angle of attack and provide energy to the wind instead of subtracting it. The outer parts of the blade operate more efficiently, but due to the inner part working as a propeller the power coefficient is low. The thrust coefficient is high for this operating condition. When the turbine is operating in yawed condition, the wake width is reduced and shifted towards the yawed direction. At downstream distance X/D=4 for TSR=6 the wake deficit becomes more uniform for both yawAngle=0^0 and yawAngle=30^0. For the downstream configuration the yaw moment was generally stable at more operating conditions than the upstream setup. Common for both configurations was that the yaw moment tended to rotate the rotor plane out of the wind at low tip speed ratios and yaw angles. The downwind turbine got a stabilizing moment for a lower tip speed ratio than the upwind turbine for all yaw angles. Both upwind and downwind turbine setup had an unconditionally stable yaw moment for yawAngle=30^0.

Abstract:
This dissertation examines market design and operation within the empirical context of CO2 markets.Six case studies are presented which describe business interactions during the design and operation of the Kyoto Protocol, the European Emissions Trading Scheme and the United Kingdom's Carbon Reduction Commitment. The case studies were developed through participant observation between October 2006 and June 2010. The research developed a conceptual framework for the study of CO2 market design and operation. Network-level aspects of CO2 market design and operation were captured by exchange, representational and normalising practices. Macro-level aspects of CO2 market design and operation were captured by technical, temporal and uncertainty based considerations. The conceptual framework was used to analyse the six cases, exploring why CO2 markets have not yet significantly influenced businesses' behaviour. Ibis research should help businesses and regulators to' better understand the challenges faced during CO2 market design and operation. Market based approaches to environmental protection are receiving increasing interest in the marketing literature. The conceptual framework and six cases further the study of what is actually happening during CO2 market design and operation, as opposed to previous approaches which have emphasised the intricate theoretical aspects of CO2 market design.

Abstract:
As a service company performing subsea operations, DeepOcean wishes to operate in the widest range of sea conditions. The majority of all offshore operations are performed using remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), where lifting through the splash zone is considered the most critical phase during launching and recovery of the ROV system. Available standards from DNV propose a systematic and analytical approach for estimating the hydrodynamic loads occurring in the splash zone. A maximum operational significant wave height, Hs, is determined using a proposed acceptance criteria. Experience from the industry have shown that the method is unreasonable conservative, consequently leading to a restrictive operational Hs window.The main objective of this master thesis is to compare results obtained from the analytical calculations with results obtained from the time domain simulation programs; Simulation of Marine Operations (SIMO) and OrcaFlex. The operational limit established in the time domain programs is based on the assumption that the maximum relative velocity between the crane tip and the waves represent a worst case scenario and that a slack lifting wire is not acceptable. This is due to the uncertainties associated with snap loading after a slack lifting wire. Three different ROV models have been established, two in OrcaFlex and one in SIMO. A sensitivity study regarding the hydrodynamic coefficients for the ROV models is also performed.The three different ROV models show different dependency of the added mass and drag term. The overall trend for the ROV systems is that the added mass dependency is reduced for the structures modelled with multiple elements, while the drag dependency is increased.The Simplified Method is certainly conservative compared to time domain simulations performed in SIMO and OrcaFlex. The present operational sea state of Hs = 4.5 m is rejected by the Simplified Method. If the operation is to be performed independent of a Tz value, an operational Hs of 0.75 m is acceptable according to the analytical calculations. From the time domain analyses in SIMO and OrcaFlex, the current operational sea state of Hs = 4.5 m could be justified if a limiting Tz is given. For launching this limiting value is 9 s, while for recovery of the ROV system the limiting Tz value is 8 s. The operational limit should not only be set by a Hs value, but also a Tz due to the large dependency of the wave period for lifting though the splash zone. Simulating the ROV lift operation in a time domain simulation program has proven to be a good alternative compared to the Simplified Method.

This thesis seeks to answer how leadership can unify the Norwegian Special Operation Forces and improve its organizational efficiency. From January 1, 2014, the two Norwegian special operations commands, Forsvarets Spesialkommando (FSK) and Marinejegerkommandoen (MJK), were joined in one service-like combatant command: Forsvarets Spesialstyrker (FS). FSK and MJK each have a long history, and their legacy and culture sit in their hearts. The two units are, in many ways, alike, but their differences have been highlighted when it comes to the future of the Norwegian Special Operation Forces. This thesis uses relevant literature, the authors’ personal experiences, and statistical analysis of precollected survey data to answer the research question. It offers an overview of the Norwegian Special Operation Forces’ history, maps the current organizational culture, and suggests a leadership approach to unify the two units and the newly established joint command staff in order to improve organizational efficiency. The aim is to provide recommendations to assist with the process of forging a highly capable Norwegian Special Operation Forces for the 21st century.

In this thesis, I argue that the obligatory nature of agreement in [phi]-features (henceforth, [phi]-agreement) cannot be captured by appealing to "derivational time-bombs"-elements of the initial representation that cannot be part of a well-formed, end-of-the-derivation structure, and which are eliminated by the application of [phi]-agreement itself (as in Chomsky's 2000, 2001 uninterpretable features approach, for example). Instead, it requires recourse to an operation- one whose invocation is obligatory, but whose successful culmination is not enforced by the grammar. I then discuss the implications of this conclusion for the analysis of defective intervention by dative nominals. These results lead to a novel view of the interaction of '-agreement with case, furnishing an argument that both '-agreement and so-called "morphological case" must be computed within the syntactic component of the grammar. Finally, I survey other domains where the same operations-based logic proves well-suited to model the empirical state of affairs; these include Object Shift, the Definiteness Effect, and long-distance wh-movement. The thesis examines data from the Kichean languages of the Mayan family (primarily from Kaqchikel), as well as from Basque, Icelandic, and French.

This thesis examines two problems concerning the secure and reliable operation of the electric power grid. The first part studies the distributed operation of the electric power grid using the power flow problem, which is vital to the operation of the grid. The power flow problem is a feasibility problem for finding an assignment of complex bus voltages that satisfies the power flow equations and is within operational and safety limits. For reliability and privacy reasons, it is desirable to solve the power flow problem in a distributed manner. Two novel distributed algorithms are presented for solving convex feasibility problems for networks based on the Method of Alternating Projections (MAP) and the Projected Consensus algorithm. These algorithms distribute computation among the nodes of the network and do not require any form of central coordination. The original problem is equivalently split into small local sub-problems, which are coordinated locally via a thin communication protocol. Although the power flow problem is non-convex, the new algorithms are demonstrated to be powerful heuristics using IEEE test beds. Quadratically Constrained Quadratic Programs (QCQP), which occur in the projection sub-problems, are studied and methods for solving them efficiently are developed. The second part addresses the robustness and resiliency of state estimation algorithms for cyber-physical systems. The operation of the electric power grid is modeled as a dynamical system that is supported by numerous feedback control mechanisms, which depend heavily on state estimation algorithms. The electric power grid is constantly under attack and, if left unchecked, these attacks may corrupt state estimates and lead to severe consequences. This thesis proposes a novel dynamic state estimator that is resilient against data injection attacks and robust to modeling errors and additive noise signals. By leveraging principles of robust optimization, the estimator can be formulated as a convex optimization problem and its effectiveness is demonstrated in simulations of an IEEE 14-bus system.

Abstract:
Dagens samtida konflikter skiljer sig ganska markant ifrån den typ av krigsföring som vi är vana att se den, exempelvis under andra världskriget där reguljära förband stred mot varandra med de allierade på ena sidan fronten och axelmakterna på den andra. I dagens konflikter är nyttjandet av irreguljära förband vanligt förekommande vilket har lett till att reguljära förband måste strida på helt andra villkor och omständigheter än förut. Under Vietnamkriget startades Operation Fenix i syfte att bemöta denna nya typ av krigsföring och de metoder som användes av den amerikanska underrättelsetjänsten var något som inte hade prövats tidigare. Tyvärr gav dessa metoder inte det underrättelsevärde som det var tänkt till en början men frågan står fortfarande kvar hur dessa metoder påverkade VCIs (Viet Cong Infrastructure)  krigföringsförmåga. Syftet med denna uppsats är att i en fallstudie granska om de metoder som Operation Fenix använde under Vietnamkriget var effektiva gentemot irreguljära styrkor samt om det finns något stöd gentemot dessa metoder i militärteorin. I uppsatsen används en teoriprövande fallstudie där David Galulas teorier implementeras i ett analysverktyg skapat utav de tre pelarna i krigföringsförmågor där varje faktor analyseras och slutligen sammanfogas till resultat till den givna frågeställningen. Denna uppsats visar på att de effekter Operation Fenix hade på de irreguljära moståndarna har ett visst samband med de teorier David Galula skapat gällande Counterinsurgency Warfare.
