Hinson, Kenneth Paul. "A foundation for translating user interaction designs into OSF/Motif-based software." Thesis, Virginia Tech, 1994. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/40635.
Abstract:
The user interface development process occurs in a behavioral domain and in a
constructional domain. The development process in the behavioral domain focuses on
the "look and feel" of the user interface and its behavior in response to user actions. The
development process in the constructional domain focuses on developing software to
implement the user interface. Although one may attempt to design a user interface from a
constructional view, it is important to concentrate design efforts in the behavioral domain
to improve software usability.
User Action Notation (UAN) is a useful technique for representing user interaction designs in the behavioral domain. Primary abstractions in UAN-expressed designs are user tasks. Information about interface objects is encapsulated in user task descriptions and scenarios. Primary abstractions in a GUI such as Motifâ ¢ are interface objects. Motif implements objects' behavior and appearance using system functions that are encapsulated within pre-defined object classes. Therefore, user interaction developers and software developers must communicate well to translate UAN-expressed interaction designs into Motif-based software designs. Translation is not trivial since it is a translation between two significantly different domains.
This thesis contributes to understanding of the user interface development process
by developing a foundation to assist translation of user interaction designs into Motif-based
software designs. This thesis develops the foundation as follows:
1. Adapt UAN for use with Motif.
2. Summarize Motif concepts about objects and object relationships.
3. Develop new approaches for discussing objects and object relationships.
4. Develop a partial translation guide containing VAN descriptions of selected
Motif abstractions.

Resumo: O oócito é responsável por regular os mecanismos da maturação do complexo cumulus oócito (COC) principalmente via secreção de fatores. parácrinos.Dentre os fatores secretados pelo oócito (OSF) desta-se o fator de crescimento dos fibroblastos 10 (FGF10), e dois fatores TGFβ mais estudados a proteína morfogenética óssea 15 (BMP15) e fator de crescimento de diferenciação 9 (GDF9) e estão associados com o desenvolvimento da competência oocitária. O presente trabalho investigou a regulação do oócito sobre as células do cumulus em dois cenários atuais da maturação in vitro, na presença de hormônio folículo estimulante (FSH) ou ampirregulina (AREG). A ausência do oócito afeta a expansão das células do cumulus e também o consumo de glicose e a produção de lactato e a adição de oócitos desnudos reverte o efeito da oocectomia na expansão mas não no consumo de glicose nem na produção de lactato. A oocectomia afeta também a expressão gênica reduzindo a abundância de RNAm de hialurona sintetase 2 HAS2 e elevando a expressão de prostaglandina sintase 2 (PTGS2), pentraxina 3 (PTX3) e proteína indutora do fator de necrose tumoral 6 (TNFAIP6) na presença de FSH e AREG. A adição de oócitos desnudos reverte o efeito da oocectomia sobre a expressão de RNAm de AREG às 4 horas de cultivo, HAS2 e PTGS2 às 22 horas de cultivo apenas quando os complexos foram cultivados na presença de AREG. Adicionalmente foi investigado a ação isolada do FGF10 sobre a diferenciação das células do cumulus. O FGF10 re... (Resumo completo, clicar acesso eletrônico abaixo)
Abstract: The oocyte is responsible for regulating mechanisms of cumulus oocyte complex (COC) maturation mainly through secretion of paracrine factors. Including oocyte secreted factors (OSF) are the fibroblast growth factor 10 (FGF10), and two TGF beta factors most studied, bone morphogenetic protein 15 (BMP15) differentiation and growth factor 9 (GDF9), and they are associated with the oocyte development of competence. This study investigated the regulation of oocyte cumulus cells on two current scenarios in vitro maturation in the presence of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) or ampirregulina (AREG). The absence of oocyte affects the expansion of the cumulus cells and also the glucose consumption and lactate production and addition of denuded oocytes reverses the effect of the expansion oocectomia but not glucose consumption or lactate production. The oocectomia also affects gene expression by reducing the abundance of mRNA hialurona synthetase 2 HAS2 and raising synthase prostaglandin expression 2 (PTGS2), pentraxin 3 (PTX3) and inducing protein of the tumor necrosis factor 6 (TNFAIP6) in the presence of FSH and AREG. The addition of denuded oocytes reverses the effect of AREG on oocectomia mRNA expression at 4 hours of culture, HAS2 and PTGS2 to 22 hours of cultivation only when complexes were grown in the presence of AREG. Additionally it investigated the isolated FGF10 action on the differentiation of cumulus cells. FGF10 reverses the effect of on the expansion of the cells and the expression of HAS2 and GFPT1apenas to 22 hours in cumulus but not glucose consumption or lactate production, which shows a delayed effect of FGF10 necessitating the presence of other OSF to soon effect as seen previously in the literature. Complementary to the results, it appears that the cumulus cells have an intracumulus control Smad2-activation by the presence of GDF9 and BMP15 in cumulus cells. In summary the oocyte...

Abstract:
Hipótese do estudo: O presente trabalho foi desenvolvido a partir da hipótese de que existe relação entre o órgão subfornicial de ratos (OSF) e o fluxo, conteúdo protéico e eletrolítico da saliva, pressão arterial e frequência cardíaca. Proposição: Objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a possível relação entre o órgão subfornicial (OSF) e o fluxo, conteúdo proteico e eletrolítico da saliva, pressão arterial e frequência cardíaca em ratos. Metodologia: Para o desenvolvimento do estudo, foram utilizados vinte ratos machos adultos da raça Wistar (Rattus norvegicus var. albinus), pesando entre duzentos e cinquenta e trezentas gramas por meio de experimentação progressiva da fase 0 (F0) até a fase III (FIII); Os vinte animais passaram pela estimulação salivar (F0 e FI), depois pela canulação do OSF- lesão fictícia(FII) e posteriormente pela lesão eletrolítica (FIII), Com a lesão no OSF, permitiu averiguar a participação dos corpos celulares e fibras de passagem presentes na região reguladora da secreção salivar, fluxo salivar, conteúdo proteico e eletrolítico da saliva e as alterações nos padrões cardiovasculares. Para efetivação da lesão no OSF,(FIII) um eletrodo de aço inoxidável com 0.5mm de diâmetro de ponta, sem isolamento, foi introduzido na área do OSF pela cânula previamente posicionada na (FII). No quinto dia do período pós-operatório, o fluxo salivar foi estimulado com uso da pilocarpina injetada intraperitonealmente (IP) em todas as fases e os animais da (FI) usados como referência em relação aos lesionados fictícios e eletrolíticos considerados Fase III. Em todas as fases do experimento, determinou-se o conteúdo protéico e eletrolítico da saliva, e os padrões cardiovasculares e pressóricos. Resultados: Os resultados foram apresentados como média e erro padrão médio. Para avaliação da interação entre fatores (lesão/droga/efeito) foi utilizada o teste de Newman post-hoc (p<0,05). Foi evidenciada relação da lesão do OSF (FIII) com os padrões cardiovasculares, demonstrando efeito hipertensor da pilocarpina (FII) (326mmHg) em relação à (FIII) (94mmHg), aumento da Freqüência Cardíaca (F0 e FII) (31018bpm) e redução significativa da FC em (FIII) (23323bpm) (p<0,05) Com relação ao Fluxo salivar houve redução em (FIII) em relação à (FI e FII) (177 17mg/7min), (50124mg/7min) respectivamente. Conclusões: O OSF está intimamente relacionado com as alterações do fluxo salivar, secreção, conteúdo protéico e eletrolítico da saliva e alterações cardiovasculares em ratos.Hypothesis of the study: Hypothesis of the study: The present work was developed from the hypothesis that exists a relation enters the subfornical agency of rats (OSF) and the flow, protein and electrolyte content of the saliva, blood pressure and heart rate. Proposition: Objective of this study was to investigate the possible relation between the subfornical agency (OSF) and the flow, content protein and electrolyte of the saliva, blood pressure and heart rate in rats.Methodology: For the development of the study, (20) twenty adult male rats of the race Wistar (Rattus norvegicus var. albinus), weighing between two hundred and fifty and three hundred grams by means of gradual experimentation of phase 0 (F0) until the III phase (FIII); The twenty animals had passed for the salivary stimulation (F0 and FI), later for the cannulation of the OSF- fictitious injury (FII) and later for the electrolyte injury (FIII), With the injury in the OSF, allowed to inquire the participation of the cellular bodies and staple fibres present in the regulatory region of the salivary secretion , salivary flow , protein and electrolyte content of the saliva and the changes in the cardiovascular standards. For efficacy of the injury in the OSF, (FIII) a stainless steel electrode with 0.5mm of tip diameter, without isolation, was introduced in the area of the OSF for the cannula previously located in (FII). In the fifth day of the postoperative period, the salivary flow was stimulated with use of the pilocarpine injected intraperitoneally (IP) in all the phases and the animals of (FI) used ones as reference in relation to the fictitious and electrolyte injured ones considered Phase III. At all stages of the experiment, we determined the protein and electrolyte content of saliva, and blood pressure patterns and cardiovascular. Results: The results had been presented as average and error average standard. For evaluation of the interaction between factors (injury/drug/effect) the test of Newman was used posthoc (p< 0,05).

Abstract:
This thesis focuses mainly on the analysis and implementation of a CRM system into a non-profit organization. Main aims of the thesis are first introduction into the issue of CRM and fundraising and then implementation of a particular CRM system into a real non-state non-profit organization. The thesis has been made in cooperation with another student, who has been engaged in the analysis of the process of choice of a CRM system, while this thesis presents the implementation of the certain system. The theoretical part of this thesis deals with the theory concerning fundraising and CRM, where also common aspects of those two topics have been mentioned. In contrast with the theoretical part, the practical part deals with the implementation of a selected CRM system into a certain non-profit organization. The theoretical part is also expanded with a research in works concerning similar topic. The main contribution of this piece of work will be the implementation of a CRM system into a foundation, where it will be used as one of the main tools supporting fundraising of the organization.

Belgin, Mehmet. "Structure-based Optimizations for Sparse Matrix-Vector Multiply." Diss., Virginia Tech, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/30260.
Abstract:
This dissertation introduces two novel techniques, OSF and PBR, to improve the performance of Sparse Matrix-vector Multiply (SMVM) kernels, which dominate the runtime of iterative solvers for systems of linear equations. SMVM computations that use sparse formats typically achieve only a small fraction of peak CPU speeds because they are memory bound due to their low flops:byte ratio, they access memory irregularly, and exhibit poor ILP due to inefficient pipelining. We particularly focus on improving the flops:byte ratio, which is the main limiter on performance, by exploiting recurring structures or sub-structures in matrices. Our techniques also support micro-architecture level optimizations to further improve performance.
Operation Stacking Framework (OSF) stacks problems in large ensemble computations, which run the same sparse kernel using an identical matrix structure, such that they share a single copy of the indexing information to significantly reduce memory bandwidth usage. OSF provides performance improvements of up to 1.94x on an AMD Opteron compared to the CSR method. We validate performance results using hardware event counters, which demonstrate significantly improved cache and pipeline utilization.
Pattern-based Representation (PBR) exploits recurring block nonzero patterns by generating custom code for each recurring block pattern. In this way, no indexing data for individual nonzero elements are read from memory, reducing the overall size of the indices by up to 98%. Our code generator emits highly tuned codes that utilize SSE vectorization and software prefetching. PBR accurately identifies a block size that achieves optimal or near-optimal performance using a linear multiple regression performance model. On recent multicore machines, PBR provides performance improvements of up to 3.4x sequentially and 5x in parallel, compared to the CSR method. The PBR library we provide converts matrices at runtime, allowing our method to be used as a drop-in replacement for existing methods. We compare PBRâ s overhead relative to its benefits and show that PBR is beneficial for many applications that repetitively call the SMVM kernel for the same matrix structure.Ph. D.

High rates of combat exposure exist among veterans of the recent conflicts, and are associated with debilitating mental health conditions, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Numerous psychosocial and biologic factors are associated with PTSD, including the HPA-axis. The present study aimed to compare baseline neuroendocrine levels by trauma group (PTSD, trauma exposed [TE], and non-trauma controls [NTC]) among a sample of young veterans. An exploratory aim was to examine potential moderators of the relation between PTSD and basal cortisol/ACTH. Group differences in cortisol were nominally significant, with the NTC group having significantly higher cortisol than the PTSD group. Sleep disturbance was the only moderator of this relationship in cortisol, although lifetime trauma load significantly predicted basal cortisol across all models. No significant effects were demonstrated for ACTH. Examining effects of trauma on basal physiology provides a critical stepping ground for future investigations that may inform targeted prevention and intervention efforts.

Rutledge, Omar. "Characterization of Combat-Induced PTSD in OEF/OIF Veterans Using MEG-Based Imaging." Thesis, University of California, San Francisco, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=1600652.
Abstract:
Background: Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a mental health disorder characterized by symptoms such as insomnia, irritability, issues with memory, difficulty concentrating, and poor decision-making abilities. With symptoms that closely resemble those of other anxiety disorders, it is very difficult to accurately diagnose. More research is needed to identify structural and functional imaging biomarkers to aid in diagnosis.
Methods: Ten right-handed male subjects (5 combat-exposed veterans, 5 healthy civilian controls) underwent magnetoencephalographic recording for this study. MEG data were acquired with a 275-channel whole-head CTF Omega 2000 system. Resting-state and tasked-based (Stroop Color-Naming Task) data were acquired. Voxel-based time-frequency analysis was subsequently performed using NUTMEG and SPM8.
Results: Significant differences were found between the two groups at rest (in delta, theta, gamma, and high-gamma neural oscillatory frequency bands) and during the Stroop Color-Naming task (in alpha, beta, and gamma, and high-gamma frequency bands).
Conclusions: Despite the small sample size, we were able to replicate some aspects of previous MEG research in veterans with PTSD. Not only does this result substantiate the use of MEG for population studies, but it also shows that PTSD is a mental disorder that is physical in nature and can be characterized through passively observing electromagnetic neuronal activity.

Moore, Nykeisha Nicole. "Factors related to adaptation in the intimate relationships of Oef/oif veterans with posttraumatic stress DisorderFactors related to adaptation in the intimate relationships of OEF/OIF veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder." Diss., University of Iowa, 2011. https://ir.uiowa.edu/etd/1031.
Abstract:
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), the signature wound of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, has caused veterans to face numerous and complex challenges within their intimate relationships post-deployment. Although other studies have explored the intimate relationships of veterans, the same level of research has not focused on OEF/OIF veterans from the standpoint of dyadic adaptation using the Dyadic Adaptation Scale (DAS). The purpose of this study was to explore the level of dyadic adaptation in intimate relationships of OEF/OIF veterans who self-reported PTSD and those who did not.
More specifically, this study identified the factors that were related to the level of dyadic adaptation for this population. Participants were 126 OEF/OIF veterans who were enrolled in colleges and universities throughout the state of Iowa; provided basic background information in response to a demographics questionnaire; and completed the DAS to yield scores of the participants' dyadic adaptation within their intimate relationships, the Family Crisis Oriented Personal Evaluation Scales (F-COPES) that highlighted their levels of coping, and the Family Inventory of Life Events (FILE) that measured their life stressors within the last 12 months.
The results of the correlation, MANOVA, ANOVA, and hierarchical regression analyses provided four major findings and implications. First, among participants with PTSD, DAS was correlated with tours of duty, FILE, F-COPES, and pharmacologic intervention, and among participants without PTSD, DAS was correlated with FILE. Second, the total dyadic adaptation scores for participating OEF/OIF veterans suggested an overall slight level of relationship dissatisfaction. Third, participants who self-reported PTSD had lower DAS total scores than participants who did not self-report PTSD. In addition, there was a significant difference on all four subscales (cohesion, satisfaction, consensus, and affectional expression) of the DAS between the two groups of participants. Fourth, in terms of participants who self-reported PTSD, tours of duty, types of relationships, and life stressors were the only variables that positively affected dyadic adaptation. In contrast, for participants who did not self-report PTSD, FILE was the only variable that affected the dyadic adaptation. These findings have important implications that highlight areas in which clinicians, educators, and individuals within the helping professions can join the Department of Veterans Affairs' initiatives to improve the reintegration of OEF/OIF veterans into their familiar roles post-deployment. Future research should explore the relationship norms pre-deployment and across relationship statutes, the identity of military intimate partners within treatment facilities, and the perceptions of treatment and dyadic adaptation after OEF/OIF veterans receive treatment in the community by civilian providers as compared to treatment in VA facilities.

Robinson, Myra. "Exploring Transition Factors Among Female Veterans of Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF/OEF)." ScholarWorks, 2016. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/2229.
Abstract:
Many transitional challenges have affected female veterans after returning from serving in the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. The number of females joining the military and becoming involved in combat has increased within the past 10 years. Research exists on the transitional challenges of male veterans. However, little research exists on the reintegration challenges faced by female veterans. As these females become veterans, they are more visible in the Veterans Affairs Health Care System. Given this increase in number of female veterans, it is important to address transitional challenges experienced by females who served in Operations Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF/OEF) postdeployment. For female veterans, the transitional experience will impact their responses to readjustment in civilian life. Selder's transitional theory and Schlossberg theory provided the framework for this phenomenological study. Using snowball sampling, 5 female veterans who served in combat during the past 5 years were selected and interviewed about their lived experiences using an open-ended interview guide. Data from the interview responses were inductively analyzed for themes and patterns. Using NVivo11 for management of data analysis, the interview responses were transcribed, categorized, coded, and clustered, revealing 5 themes: reflection on deployment, health issues, support from family, environmental concerns, and readjustment into roles. The key findings revealed that female veterans who served in combat experienced complex challenges after reintegrating back into civilian life. The findings may contribute to positive social change by informing treatment plans and support programs for female veterans reintegrating back into civilian life.

Ivory, Rachel L. "Combat Service and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder as a Violent Crimes Predictor in OEF/OIF Veterans." ScholarWorks, 2017. https://scholarworks.waldenu.edu/dissertations/4067.
Abstract:
There is an established link between posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and criminal activity. Of every 100 veterans who served during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF)/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), 11 to 20 percent are diagnosed with PTSD each year. Previous research has documented that veterans are incarcerated at higher percentages compared to nonveteran inmates, though little published research examines incidence of PTSD relative to violent crime. Using Agnew's general strain theory as the foundation, the purpose of this correlational study was to examine combat service, PTSD, and specific violent crimes as defined by the FBI as murder and nonnegligent manslaughter, forcible rape, robbery, and aggravated assaults; while controlling for branch of service, age, and sex. The sample consisted of 46 OEF/OIF inmates (federal and state) 9 of whom were convicted of a violent crime. Results from the multiple logistic regression analysis showed that combat service, PTSD, sex, and branch of service were not statistically significant predictors of imprisonment of OEF/OIF veterans for violent crime. Age, however, was statistically significant p = .029. The findings of this study contribute to social change by providing policymakers and prison administrators nuanced information (i.e., characteristic information - age, sex, branch of service, etc.) about the needs of this unique prison population with regards to reintegration. This may in turn contribute to improved reintegration initiatives to enrich the lives of veterans, their families, and the communities where veterans reside when returning from war. Focusing on reintegration will be very beneficial.

Abstract:
The decision to use Off-Site Manufacturing (OSM) as a construction strategy in the house building industry is often made using ‘gut-feel’ or poor information and at the wrong time and for the wrong reasons. Research has shown that the correct use of OSM in house building has the potential to address some of the key challenges facing the UK house building industry, such as the increase in supply of new homes, skills shortage gap, the need to reduce CO2 emissions and environmental impacts, reduce overall project duration, minimise overall project costs, and reduce defects in new housing. However, with poor decision making surrounding the use of OSM, this potential remains untapped.

Abstract:
Currently, neuropsychologists rely on assessment instruments rooted in century old theory and technology to make evaluations of military personnel’s readiness to return-to-duty or return to their community. The present study sought to explore an alternative by evaluating the validity of a neuropsychological assessment presented within a virtual reality platform. The integration of a neuropsychological assessment into a cognitively and emotionally demanding virtual environment – reminiscent of a combat experience in Iraq – offers a more ecologically valid manner in which to evaluate the cognitive skills required in theater. U.S. military veterans’ (N = 50) performance on the Virtual Reality Stroop Task (VRST) was compared with performance on a paper-and-pencil, a computer adapted version of the Stroop task, and the subtests included in the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics-4 (ANAM4) TBI-MIL test battery. Results supported the validity of the VRST, indicating it demonstrates the typical Stroop effect pattern. The emotional salience of the VRST resulted in slowed reaction time compared to the ANAM Stroop. Further, the complex interference condition of the VRST offers opportunities for evaluation of exogenous and endogenous attentional processing. In the evaluation of threat, participants were noted to perform more accurately and more quickly in low threat versus high threat zones. Ancillary inquiries found no clinically meaningful findings regarding the role of deployment or post-concussive symptoms, and mixed findings regarding the effect of posttraumatic stress symptoms on neuropsychological performance among the three tested modalities.

Abstract:
Sleep disturbances are a core and salient feature of PTSD and can maintain or exacerbate associated symptoms. Recent research demonstrates that cognitive-behavioral sleep-focused interventions improve sleep disturbances as well as PTSD symptoms. The present study is a randomized controlled trial comparing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) to a waitlist control group. Conducted at a Veterans Affairs Medical Center, the study: 1) compared subjective outcome measures of sleep amongst veterans assigned to either a treatment group (CBT-I) or a waitlist control group; (2) examined the influence of the intervention on measures of PTSD, general mood and daytime functioning, comparing veterans in a treatment group to those in a waitlist control group and (3) examined the effect of the CBT-I intervention using objective measures of sleep for veterans included in the treatment arm of the study. Study participants were (n = 40) combat veterans who served in Afghanistan and/or Iraq (OEF/OIF). Participants were randomized to either a CBT-I treatment group or a wait-list control group. Those in the treatment condition participated in four CBT-I sessions over six weeks. CBT-I included sleep restriction, stimulus control, cognitive restructuring, sleep education, sleep hygiene and imagery rehearsal therapy. All participants completed subjective and objective measures at baseline and post-treatment. At six weeks post treatment, veterans who participated in CBT-I reported improved sleep, a reduction in PTSD symptom severity and PTSD-related nightmares, as well as a reduction in depression and distressed mood compared to veterans in the waitlist control group. When controlling for current participation in evidence-based PTSD treatment, veterans in the CBT-I group reported a reduction in PTSD symptom severity while their waitlist counterparts demonstrated an increase in these PTSD symptoms. Veterans in the treatment group also reported improved objectively measured sleep quality between baseline and posttreatment. These data suggest that CBT-I is an effective treatment for insomnia, nightmares and PTSD symptoms in OEF/OIF veterans with combat related PTSD and should be used as an adjunctive therapy to standard PTSD treatment.

Castro-Chapman, Paula. "Reactivity and Recovery Among OIF/OEF/OND Combat Veterans: Do Those with Subthreshold PTSD Differ From Veterans with and without PTSD?" Scholar Commons, 2016. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6476.
Abstract:
This study expanded the current literature by assessing PTSD in relation to reactivity and recovery from negative emotional arousal among OEF/OIF/OND Veterans. Cardiac impedance was employed during a speech task and a trauma imagery procedure. Those in the PTSD-S group displayed lower SBP and higher TPR reactivity relative to the PTSD- and PTSD+ groups; lower CO reactivity relative to the PTSD+ group; and more CO recovery than those in the PTSD+ group to the trauma task. For speech task, Veterans in the PTSD-S group exhibited lower HR reactivity for both speech preparation and delivery than those in the PTSD- group. Depression was not a significant mediator in the relation between PTSD and reactivity. However, further analyses revealed that it served as a moderator between PTSD and reactivity during speech preparation (SBP, HR, and PEP reactivity), and speech delivery (HR, PEP, and CO reactivity). Simple slopes analysis revealed that depression was positively associated with HR and SBP (speech preparation) and HR (speech delivery) for those in the PTSD-S group. For those in the PTSD- group, depression was positively associated with PEP during the speech task (to include preparation) and negatively associated with SBP and CO (speech preparation) and HR and CO (speech delivery). For those in the PTSD+ group, depression was negatively associated with CO and positively associated with PEP. For the most part, Veterans in the PTSD-S group exhibited lower reactivity to both tasks than Veterans in the PTSD+ group or combat-exposed controls without PTSD. In light of the emerging evidence relating blunted reactivity to unhealthy behaviors and negative health outcomes (e.g., depression, obesity), it would appear that both extremes, exaggerated and diminished reactivity are maladaptive responses to stress and that the most optimally response to stress is a moderate reaction.

Abstract:
Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka vilken geografisk omvärldsbild elever har, dvs. vilken inre karta de har av världen, och hur den formas. Vi har använt oss av en metod bestående av en enkät med både allmänna frågor om elevens erfarenheter samt tre kunskapsbaserade uppgifter om kartan. Den första av dessa tre är en öppen uppgift där eleven ombeds rita världskartan på ett blankt papper. Det görs sedan kopplingar mellan elevernas erfarenheter, kunskaper och den mentala kartan. I resultatet såg vi att eleverna har brister i sin geografiska omvärldsbild och kunskaper om var olika platser ligger i Sverige och världen. Tidigare forskning i ämnet visar att många av våra hypoteser och slutsatser kan bekräftas. Till exempel hade eleverna en geocentrisk och etnocentrisk världsbild. Det märktes tydligt att eleverna formade sin geografiska omvärldsbild utifrån tidigare erfarenheter och attityder till olika platser. Eleverna i vår undersökning har en begränsad geografisk omvärldsbild och behöver därför arbeta mer med att utveckla den.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis is to analyze the basic elements that affect the image of the Society for the Protection of the Rights of Music Authors and Publishers (in Czech OSA). Based on a study of professional literature it identifies the basic segments of corporate identity, which represent the starting point for building the organization's image and which is further analyzed in detail. Although OSA is not a typical company operating in a market environment (mainly due to its monopolistic position in the Czech Republic), it has something to do with creating a positive organization's image and the so called "goodwill" as well as it have typical profit organizations. The purpose of this analysis is not only to identify the key elements that affect the image of OSA, but also to outline activities that should be followed when creating a positive image. The document works with both recommendations in general terms, so the suggestions in specific areas.

Abstract:
Power grids utilize large central generating stations which entails the use of long transmission lines to deliver power to consumers. This approach poses some challenges such as line loses and carbon dioxide (CO2) emission into the environment from the burning of fossil fuels from such large generators. There is also little or no availability of electricity in the rural and isolated areas where the supply of power from the national grid may be considered uneconomical. Distributed generation proffers solutions to these challenges by generating power close to the point of consumption. A nanogrid is an important aspect of distributed generation in which electricity is generated for a single building. Nanogrids usually employ renewable sources of power such as solar and wind energy to generate electricity. Hence, reducing carbon dioxide emission. Also due to the versatility of nanogrids, people in the rural areas can generate their own electricity. However, the intermittent supply of power due to the variations of wind speed during the entire course of a day poses a major challenge in the use of nanogrids. This thesis focuses on the study of the interaction of the savonius wind turbine in an existing nanogrid with a particular load so as to have a better understanding of how the wind turbine parameters such as the wind speed and Tip Speed Ratio can affect the power generated from the turbine.This is achieved by modelling and measuring the power absorption of the savonius wind turbine operating in the nanogrid. From the results obtained in this project, it is glaring that the wind speed and Tip Speed Ratio of the wind turbine play a vital role in the total power harvested from the turbine. If the rotor blades spin too slowly, the wind will pass through the gap between the blades and no power will be generated. Whereas when the blades spin too fast, they act like a shield against the wind speed, creating turbulence in the air as they spin and so when the incoming blade arrives too fast, it hits the turbulent air created by the blade before it and thus, no power will also be generated in this situation. Therefore, it is of utmost importance to design the wind turbine with an optimal Tip Speed Ratio to obtain maximum power from the turbine and thus, improve the reliability and efficiency of the nanogrid technology.

Abstract:
Die Arbeit zeichnet die Entwicklung der Europadiskurse in Ungarn vom Ausgang des 18. Jahrhundert bis zum Ende des Kommunismus nach. Sie zeigt die Vielfalt und Wandelbarkeit der Vorstellungen von und Bezugnahmen auf "Europa" durch Schriftsteller, Künstler, Politiker und Intellektuelle. Geprägt war der Diskurs vor allem durch ein beinahe permanent anzutreffendes Rückständigkeitsnarrativ. "Europa", das bedeutete meist Westeuropa, England, Frankreich, aber auch Deutschland. Zwar zählte man sich seit der Krönung des ersten ungarischen Königs Istvan I. im Jahre 1000 mit einer vom Papst gesandten Krone zu einem festen Bestandteil (West-)Europas, die Zugehörigkeit wurde aber durch die fehlende beziehungsweise verzögerte wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche Modernisierung häufig in Frage gestellt. Zudem sah man sich mit einer gewissen Ignoranz des Westens konfrontiert, der nur allzu oft sich selbst als eigentliches Europa darstelle und die Leistungen der Ungarn für den Schutz Europas, beispielsweise durch die Abwehr der Türken, nicht würdige. Dieses Isolationsmotiv zieht sich gleichsam wie ein roter Faden durch den Diskurs und wird vielfältig, aber ambivalent eingesetzt. Einerseits werden die niedergeschlagenen Aufstände 1848 und 1956, in denen "Europa" tatenlos zusah wie Ungarns Freiheitskampf von außen erstickt wurde, für eine Anklage des Westens und symbolische Überhöhung Ungarns als verlassener Vorkämpfer der Zivilisation instrumentalisiert, andererseits führt dieser Isolationsdiskurs häufig zu geradezu anti-europäischen Diskursbeiträgen, in denen Ungarn als ein Land des Ostens charakterisiert wird und westliche Wertvorstellungen und Errungenschaften negiert werden. Die verbreitetste diskursive Verortung Ungarns aber ist die, dass es die "Mitte" Europas" sei, ein Ort des Ausgleichs westlicher Moderne und östlicher Rückständigkeit, Bewahrer der ureigenen europäischen Werte. Diese Figur findet sich sowohl im national-liberalen Diskurs des 19. Jahrhunderts, als auch im Dissidentendiskurs der 1980er Jahre. Der ungarische Europadiskurs pendelte also, wie gezeigt wurde tatsächlich von West nach Ost, aber die Mitte war in der Perspektive der betrachteten 200 Jahre ein tradierter Rückzugs- und Bestimmungspunkt der ungarischen Identität in Europa und als Ausgleich der Extreme auch die Identität Europas selbstThe article starts with the notion of a remarkable research deficit (within the wider field of historically oriented European studies) regarding the thinking and discourses on “Europe” in East Central Europe, especially in Hungary. This desiderate could be explained by the partition of the continent through the Iron Curtain lasting for fourty years, what seemed to exclude these countries from Europe in several respects. Nevertheless there was and is a reconstructable, various if plural discourse on the place of Hungary in Europe. It was tightly linked with the discourses on the nation-state and on modernization in the 19th century, while the country was part of the Austrian monarchy of Habsburg. Thus it received main impulses from Western Europe, whose development was taken as an ideal to follow. The East, particularly Russia, was in contrast considered as the non-european “other”, the enemy of liberty and progress. Despite this notion, there were remarkable attempts to frame Hungary in an Eastern context, espeacially through the idea of “Turan”, that claimed a tribal community between Hungarians, Turks and Iranians, which should unite in a common empire. However catching up to the West remained the dominant goal, but was complicated by the structural, economic and cultural differences that lasted on feudal and agrarian Hungary until the beginning of the 20th century. Yet “Europe” was not only a model, it was also a, rather metaphysic and symbolic, institution to which the country appealed for support during the revolutions 1848 and 1956. Both upheavels against an imperial enemy, Habsburg and the Soviet Union, failed and Hungarians felt abandoned by the West, that is Europe. As a consequence of these gaps and failures the idea of Hungary as a part of Central Europe, a special region of small states between the Great powers in the East and the West with a specific identity was conceived. This concept also included the vision of a joint federation to facilitate the negotiations of the everlasting national and ethnic conflicts of the region. It can be found within the texts of 19th century liberal politicians like István Széchenyi, who shaped the metaphor of Hungary as a “ferry-land”, and Lajos Kossuth, who presented the first plan for Danubian Federation, Interwar-politicians like Oszkár Jászi and anti-soviet dissidents like György Konrád in the 1980ies. According to these and other protagonists of the discourse, the “centre” can be classified as the ultimate place of Hungary in Europe throughout the centuries, sharing and preserving the European Heritage

Abstract:
Over the past nine years, the number of travelers traveling through Swedavias airports has increased significantly. The increase has placed a high demand on Stockholm Arlanda Airports infrastructural capacity. In order to avoid major expenses on the development of the terminal buildings Swedavia has developed a project called Off Airport Bagdrop, which gives the travelers the opportunity to leave their luggage at a location outside the airport. This way the number of passengers and luggage in the departure hall at Terminal 5 can be reduced. The thesis examines how the service can be developed, what is needed for it to work as well as which problems must be solved. A process map and a timeline have been created to visualize the luggage handling process and its lead times. With data gathered through interviews and observations, three solutions have been identified. The best solution, with Swedavias perspective in mind, has then been selected. The solutions identified in the report are as follows: A permanent Off Airport Bagdrop at Stockholm Central station where travelers in the vicinity of central Stockholm have the possibility to check in their luggage and get it transferred to the airport to then be able to tour the city or run errands. The long-term parking Alfa and Beta at Arlanda where the travelers who arrive with their cars have the possibility to check in their luggage at the parking lot. This way they can begin their journey more comfortably A Pop Up-service targeting group bookings, events and sport holiday travelers by providing temporary Drop Off Points at selected locations. We conclude that the latter alternative, the Pop Up-service, solves the capacity problem in the best way. This alternative is also the easiest to implement and captures the large number of passengers and luggage that create the capacity problem at Arlanda.

Abstract:
Den här uppsatsen behandlar elevinflytande över skolundervisningen. Alla styrdokument som reglerar den svenska skolan framhåller vikten av ett sådant inflytande, ändå tyder tidigare undersökningar på en allmän brist på elevinflytande på detta område. För att få inblick i elevernas syn på problemet intervjuade jag sex gymnasieelever. Resultatet visar att elevinflytande över undervisningen är en mycket viktig faktor när det gäller att skapa motivation bland elever. Brist på inflytande hämmar inte bara elevernas intresse för ämnet i fråga, det skadar dessutom deras förtroende för lärarna. Ur intervjumaterialet utkristalliserar sig en ideallärare, lyhörd för såväl elevernas åsikter som deras intressen. Eleverna visade dessutom ett starkt förtroende för sina lärares förmåga att leda dem rätt.This essay explores the concept of student influence in class. All governing documents regarding the Swedish school emphasize the importance of student influence, yet previous studies indicate a general lack of it in practice. In order to get an insight into this problem from a student point of view, I interviewed six upper secondary school students. The results suggest that student influence in class is indeed an important factor in creating motivation among students. A lack of influence not only hampers the students’ interest in the subject in question, it also seriously impedes their reliance in their teachers. An ideal teacher, keenly alive to the opinions as well as to the interests of the students, crystallized from the interviews. The students also displayed a conspicuous trust in their teachers’ ability to guide them the right way.

Stoneham, Luke. "Off the edge." Thesis, Brunel University, 2014. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/11338.
Abstract:
Work which takes from elsewhere forms an important thread in European art music. There is a long tradition of music which variously borrows, thieves, pastiches, plagiarises, ironically ‘retakes’, hoaxes, impersonates and appropriates. The music I have written for Off the edge, while seeking to honour and add to this thread, also attempts to zoom in upon and make explicit the idea of an ultimate and irreversible composerly self-annihilation, a kind of one-way exit-gate from the world of authored musical works itself made of pieces of music, which so much of this tradition, I feel, points towards. (Of my nine pieces, it is perhaps Time to go—only, with its ‘à la suicide note’ texts and its music that seems to slide in from far beyond the frame that is ‘composer Luke Stoneham’, which manages to get closest to this.) I have chosen the title Off the edge, because all of my music tries to capture a sense of nocturnal peripheral vision: be content with catching glimpses of the composer Luke Stoneham, because as soon as you turn to look at him face-on, he disappears.

Abstract:
Målet med den här undersökningen har varit att se om fastigheten Orkestern 1 går att koppla off-grid och om det är ekonomiskt försvarbart eller om en on-grid lösning är bättre. Förutsättningarna är goda med ett stort tak med plats för solpaneler i öst-västlig riktning och en årsmedelvind på 4 m/s. Då huset är nybyggt och välisolerat är även energiförbrukning låg. För att kunna beräkna hur mycket energi som ska produceras i form av värme och el med hjälp av solceller, vindkraftverk, pelletskamin och dieselverk upprättas en energibalans och energifördelning med hjälp av transmission och ventilationsberäkningar. Lagring av energi görs i form av pellets, batteri och biodiesel. Simuleringsprogrammet för solceller Polysun används för att beräkna produktion av solel över varje månad på året. Diagram upprättas över året indelat i månader där det framgår hur stort energibehovet är och visar hur stor del varje energiproducent har varje månad. En pay-off kalkyl görs för att se om det är ekonomiskt lönsamt och för att kunna jämföra mellan två olika off-grid system. Pay-off kalkylen används också för att jämföra mellan off-grid och on-grid system. Resultatet landar i att on-grid systemet är ekonomiskt hållbart medan off-grid systemet inte är det men är ändå fullt genomförbart.The main target of this examination has been to see if the real estate Orkestern 1 has the possibility to go off-grid and if it is economical defendable or if on-grid solution is a better way to go. The prerequisites are good with a large roof to place solar panels to the east and west, a yearly average windspeed at 4 m/s and a low energy consumption because the house is new built and well insulated. To calculate how much energy that must be produced in form of heat and electricity with solar cells, windmills, pellet stove and diesel generator an energy balance and an energy distribution will be prepared with help of calculations of transmission and ventilation loses. Storage of energy will be done in form of pellets, battery and biodiesel. The simulation program for solar panels Polysun is used to calculate the produced solar energy for each month on the year. Diagram is prepared for each month to see the need of energy and how much every energy producer is delivering. A straight pay-off calculation is done to see if there are any economic benefits and to compare between off-grid and on-grid systems. The result will be that on-grid system is better economical but still the off-grid system is doable.

Abstract:
In today’s society signatures are the most accepted form of identity verification. However, they have the unfortunate side-effect of being easily abused by those who would feign the identification or intent of an individual. This thesis implements and tests current approaches to off-line signature verification with the goal of determining the most beneficial techniques that are available. This investigation will also introduce novel techniques that are shown to significantly boost the achieved classification accuracy for both person-dependent (one-class training) and person-independent (two-class training) signature verification learning strategies. The findings presented in this thesis show that many common techniques do not always give any significant advantage and in some cases they actually detract from the classification accuracy. Using the techniques that are proven to be most beneficial, an effective approach to signature verification is constructed, which achieves approximately 90% and 91% on the standard CEDAR and GPDS signature datasets respectively. These results are significantly better than the majority of results that have been previously published. Additionally, this approach is shown to remain relatively stable when a minimal number of training signatures are used, representing feasibility for real-world situations.

Abstract:
This case study examines a Philadelphia suburban school district, Lower Merion, and its failures to substantively integrate African-American students in the 21st century. Through a close analysis of the high school's basketball program, largely funded and popularized by Lower Merion alumnus Kobe Bryant, this case study exposes how extracurricular programs structure unequal expectations for African-American students in otherwise "excellent" public schools. By using oral history and local archival materials, Winning off the Court examines an all too common issue across modern American suburbia: public schools failing their minority populations while still purporting to be successful on a national scale.

Sur la base d'environ 160 récits de voyages, publiés par des voyageurs d'origine allemande entre 1750 et 1850, la thèse compare la perception et les images de la France et de la Pologne comme elles se présentent aux visiteurs étrangers. La première partie porte sur l'analyse d'une biographie collective des voyageurs dans une perspective sociale, géographique, confessionnelle et professionnelle, sur la réception de la littérature de voyage en Allemagne vers 1800 et sur la pratique de voyage dans les deux pays. La deuxième partie traite les catégories géographique selon lesquelles la France et la Pologne était situées selon les visiteurs et l'invention des frontières nationales. En outre, les descriptions de l'espace rurale et de l'espace urbain sont contrastées. Finalement, la troisième partie vise à comparer les perceptions de la stratification sociale, l'évolution politique dans les deux pays (notamment pendant les années 1790 et 1830) et les description des caractères nationaux.

Abstract:
The purpose of the thesis is to examine the thoughts and opinions of a selected group of people regarding the terrorist attack that occurred in Stockholm 12/11-2010. This study has been conducted through the method of focus group interview.The study was methodologically and theoretically inspired by Grounded Theory, which simply means that the participants' opinions have formed the theory of the study.As a result of the study, we can see that the main focus of the discussion held by the participants was through a we and them thinking-perspective. Furthermore, the study reveals that the participants tried to include who we (muslims) are, and to exclude who they (non muslims) are, while arguing in the discussion. Another definition is the one of here and there, where the participants defined terrorism and what causes it. Finally, media's role was discussed in relation to the creation of the medie-muslim.To explain the participants' perceptive, part of Appadurai’s Fear of small numbers and part of Brune’s Dark magic in the white media was used.

Abstract:
The United Nations is an international organization founded in 1945. It is obvious that the status quo from that year cannot reflect the needs of present world. Because of this fact it is necessary to approach a reform. But the question is what the reform should deal with. There are plenty of reforming efforts in discussion. These proposals do not take into consideration only the reform of the Security Council but also other bodies within United Nations. In my thesis I will focus only on reforming the Security Council as a main body of the whole organization that should be able to react on security threats flexibly. The feasibility of UN reform depends on the agreement of the permanent members that can due to their veto right block any of the proposals. And for the time being, they use their privilege to do so because they are afraid of limitations of their rights and position. We cannot come up only with a clear proposal how to reform but also it is necessary to focus on the proper arguments why the permanent members should agree with the reform. The main target of the following master thesis is to find out whether the reform is feasible based on accessible information with respect to hindrances and positions of permanent members that are currently more passive than active.

Real-time support consists of data distribution from the MTS to the Telemetry Distribution Center, TRACS Control van, Missile Flight Safety display van, Project Support vans, on-site data processing, as well as relaying raw data to the main WSMR Telemetry Data Center (TDC) for real-time analysis. As soon as telemetry data arrives at the TDC, it is converted into information. This information is used by MFS during real-time monitoring of vehicle performance. This paper includes the methods used for the conversion of data into information on-site and at TDC. Real-time data processing involves multiple independent systems performing their respective tasks on a particular segment of data.
