Full textAbstract:
Globally, approximately 1.2 million people die each year due to trac accidents. Upperextremity injuries account for 18% to 25% of all car accident injuries. In order to beable to analyze these crash-related injuries, Human body models(HBMs) are used as acomplement to FE simulations. An example of a HBM is the THUMS SAFER that isbased on a 50 percentile American male. The aim of this study was to improve the upperextremity of the THUMS SAFER with respect to Autoliv's requirements to better predictfractures. In addition, this was validated against the Forman experiment(Forman, et al.,The journal of trauma and acute care surgery, vol. 77, 2014) where human cadavers ofthe upper extremity were axially impacted to replicate a car collision. This was done bygenerating the upper extremity geometry with segmentation of medical images of a righthuman hand in combination with the complete STL-geometry of the forearm from thePiper project. The STL-geometry of the segmented human hand and Piper forearm wasintegrated and a complete STL-geometry of the upper extremity was obtained. Basedon the complete STL-geometry, the FE-arm HEX 4.0 was built with modelling of bones,ligaments, soft tissue and skin with corresponding material choice in accordance withAutoliv's requirements.The model HEX 4.0 was improved considering an increased mesh density from an averageof 94% to 98%. HEX 4.0 was also validated against the data from the Forman experimentfor experiments 5, 6 and 15. It showed a good correlation with the acceleration curvesbetween the simulated and experimental values for the three experiments. The reactionforce in the elbow was compared for experiment 15, where the simulated value 5.7 kNdivided by a factor of 1.4 from 4 kN for the experiment. Furthermore, the rst principalstrains that occurred in HEX 4.0 were analysed by 17 ms were the highest accelerationwas achieved for experiments 5 and 6. Both experiments were shown to be close to thefailure threshold of bones. However, the highest value 5=9.8E-03 occurred in the radiusfor experiment 5, while 6=9.3E-03 in a ligament for experiment 6. In addition, thefailure threshold for experiment 15 exceeded 5 ms in lunate, schapoid and triquetrum.This indication of fractures is in good agreement with the experimental results where thecorresponding bones resulted in fractures in experiment 15. HEX 4.0 was an improvedupper extremity of the THUMS SAFER considering an increased mesh density. It isalso capable of indicating fractures and corresponding positions in the form of analyzesof occurring stresses and strains. Nevertheless, improvements and further validation ofHEX 4.0 has been proposed in the future work section.Globalt, dör varje ar ungefär 1.2 miljoner personer på grund av trafikolyckor. Övre extremit skador utgör 18% till 25% av alla skador inom bilolyckor. För att kunna analysera dessa krockrelaterade skador används humanmodeller (HBM) som komplement för FE-simuleringar. Ett exempel på en HBM är THUMS SAFER som är baserad på en 50 percentile amerikans man. Målet med denna studie är att förbättra uppre extremiten av THUMS SAFER med avseende på Autolivs krav för att bättre kunna förutspå frakturer Dessutom validerades detta mot Forman experiment (Forman, et al., The journal of trauma and acute care surgery, vol. 77, 2014) där övre extremitet av människokadaver blev axiellt påverkade för att replikera en bil kollsion. Detta gjordes genom att generera STL-geometrin av den övre extremitet med segmentering av medicinska bilder av en höger människohand i kombination med färdig STL-geometri av underarmen från Piperprojektet STL-geometrin av den segmenterande människohanden och Piper underarmen integrerades och en komplett STL-geometri av övre extremiteten erhölls. Baserad på den kompletta STL-geometrin byggdes FE-armen HEX 4.0 med modellering av ben, ligament, mjukvävnad samt hud med motsvarande materialval i enighet med Autolivs krav. Modellen HEX 4.0 förbättrades i form av en ökad mesh densitet från medelvärdet 94% till 98%. Den validerades även gentemot data från Forman experimentet för experiment5, 6 och 15. Det påvisade en god korrelation på accelerations kurvorna mellan de simulerade och experimentella värdena för de tre experimenten. Reaktionskraften i armbågen jämfördes för experiment 15 där den simulerade värdet 5.7 kN skiljde sig med en faktor 1.4 från 4 kN för experimentet. Ytterligare analyserades första huvudtöjningarna som uppkom i HEX 4.0 vid 17 ms, då den högsta accelerationen uppnåddes för experiment 5 och 6. Det visades att båda experimenten låg nära failure tröskeln av ben, däremot uppkom den högsta värdet 5=9.8E-03 i radius för experiment 5, medan 6=9.3E-03 i ett ligament för experiment 6. Dessutom överskred failure tröskeln för experiment 15 efter 5 ms i lunate, schapoid och triquetrum. Denna indikation av frakturer stämmer väl medexperiment resultaten där motsvarande benen resulterande i frakturer i experiment 15.HEX 4.0 är en förbättrad övre extremitet av THUMS SAFER i form av förbättrad mesh densitet. Den är även kapabel att indikera frakturer och motsvarande position i form av analyser på förekommande spänningar och töjningar. Förbättringar och ytterligare validering av HEX 4.0 föreslås för framtida arbete.

Methodology:
The Behavioral and Environmental Safety Program (B.E. Safe) for Early Childhood Professionals is being developed in response to Federal Safety regulations for childcare procedures and addresses social and emotional safety concerns. The curriculum includes Family Life Education content areas focusing on diversity, inclusion, social and emotional health, bullying prevention, supporting children with special needs, building relationships with parents, and understanding children’s behavior.
Discussion of existing research:
Research states that high quality childcare and education benefits all children (DHSS, 2015). Best practices indicate that Early Childhood Professionals need high quality training to be equipped to understand child development, strategies for working with families, and having the resources for supports when including children with disabilities in early childcare programs (DHSS, 2015). Not only should Early Childhood Professionals be equipped with the tools and resources to understand children’s behavior, educators need to demonstrate competency in state regulations, environmental safety for children, and playground safety (Sheridan, Edwards, Marvin & Knoche, 2009). B.E. Safe allows Early Childhood Professionals to engage in a research-based training that will help to ensure safety within their center.
Connection to Theory:
Behavior theories of child development incorporate environmental influences on behavior (Shute & Slee, 2015). A child’s early learning environment and the adults influence of children affects emotional, social, and physical development. B.E. Safe relates to Vygotsky’s Sociocultural Theory (1978) suggesting that children learn actively through hands on experiences. The Sociocultural Theory suggest that parents, caregivers, and a child’s environment from a young age is largely responsible for higher order functions (Shute & Slee, 2015). Proficiency in Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) will allow participants to grasp how traumatic events can affect a child’s developmental process. Educating early childcare professionals on ACEs will allow for adults to be aware of what to look for, and how to keep children protected from adverse experiences (Sacks, Murphey & Moore, 2014).
How will the study add to knowledge/innovative practice?
Family Scientists will gain knowledge on best practices for providing Family Life Education to Early Childhood Professionals. Specifically, participants will gain knowledge on promoting inclusion, understanding behavior issues, developmental delays, and how to keep children safe from potential environmental hazards.

En la actualidad, existe un alto índice de robos de maletas al momento de realizar un viaje, puesto que según la SITA (Societé Internacionale de Telécommunications Aéronautiques) se pierden cerca de 25 millones de maletas por año a nivel mundial. La situación no es muy diferente en el Perú, ya que constantemente se ven casos de robo o pérdida de equipaje en el territorio nacional. Para estos casos, ante la ineficiencia de las autoridades y la falta de medidas de control, se han propuesto diversas alternativas de solución para proteger las maletas como candados especiales, sistema TSA, entre otros. Sin embargo, estos no son efectivos al ser fácilmente manipulados o forcejeados. En base a lo mencionado anteriormente, nació la idea de Travel Safe. Este modelo de negocios ofrece maletas inteligentes con un sistema compacto que utiliza tecnología NFC y permite conectarse a través de una aplicación móvil y rastrear en tiempo real la ubicación de la maleta. Asimismo, posee un sistema integrado que ayuda a la protección contra el robo e intento de manipulación. Por ello, para probar tal aceptación de nuestra propuesta que corresponde a una solución óptima de una problemática existente en el Perú, se han desarrollado diversos experimentos e investigaciones que se abordará en el presente trabajo de investigación. Una vez hecha la validación de nuestro proyecto, se presentan los compromisos de ventas efectuados y los diversos planes de acción en las diferentes áreas. Finalmente, se concluye que el negocio propuesto es un éxito y genera una atractiva rentabilidad.Nowadays, there is a high rate of theft of suitcases when making a trip, since according to the SITA (Société Internationale de Telécommunications Aéronautiques) are lost about 25 million suitcases per year worldwide. The situation is not very different in Peru, since cases of theft or loss of luggage are constantly seen in the national territory. For these cases, due to the inefficiency of the authorities and the lack of control measures, several alternative solutions have been proposed to protect the suitcases such as special locks, TSA system, among others. However, these are not effective because they are easily manipulated or wrestled. Based on the above, the idea of Travel Safe was born. This business model offers intelligent suitcases with a compact system that uses NFC technology and makes it possible to connect through a mobile application and track the location of the suitcase in real time. It also has an integrated system that helps protect against theft and attempted tampering. Therefore, to prove such acceptance of our proposal that corresponds to an optimal solution of an existing problem in Peru, have developed various experiments and research that will be addressed in this research work. Once our project has been validated, the sales commitments made and the various action plans in the different areas are presented. Finally, it is concluded that the proposed business is a success and generates an attractive profitability.

Full textAbstract:
A new model was developed to enhance the understanding of the full context of work associated hazards, to explore the connection between OHS performance and a systematic approach to safety, and to simplify approaches to OHS management. This Safe Place, Safe Person, Safe Systems model was derived from the literature and used as the basis for the development of a framework, consisting of 60 elements which was transformed into an assessment tool. This assessment tool was trialled with a pilot study on a medium sized manufacturing plant in the plastics industry, and the tool and Preliminary Report peer reviewed by an expert panel using the Nominal Group Technique. After refinements were made to the assessment tool it was applied to eight case studies that were drawn from advertisements. This qualitative study consisted of two parts: firstly the assessment using the Safe Place, Safe Person, Safe Systems framework; and secondly a controlled self assessment exercise to target improvements to three of the elements over a period of four months. The study illustrated that the Safe Place, Safe Person, Safe Systems framework could be successfully applied in a range of industries to promote OHS improvements and to provide a systematic, planned approach to fulfilling OHS responsibilities. The application of this framework highlighted that: there is a need for further education on the correct application of the risk assessment process and the responsibilities owed to contractors; techniques such as dynamic risk assessments are more suitable where the place of work is variable and hazards are unpredictable; more focus is needed on the appropriate management of hazardous substances with long term health consequences; and that the level of formality invoked for treating hazards does not necessarily equate to improved risk reduction outcomes. The Safe Place, Safe Person, Safe Systems framework was found to be applicable to small, medium and large organisations provided the assessment was scoped to a small division of relatively homogeneous activity to ensure a more representative hazard profile. This approach has provided a way forward to simplify OHS management and also offers practical direction for implementing a targeted OHS improvement program.

Globally, approximately 1.2 million people die each year due to traffic accidents. Upper extremity injuries account for 18% to 25% of all car accident injuries. In order to be able to analyze these crash-related injuries, Human body models(HBMs) are used as a complement to FE simulations. An example of a HBM is the THUMS SAFER that is based on a 50 percentile American male. The aim of this study was to improve the upper extremity of the THUMS SAFER with respect to Autoliv's requirements to better predict fractures. In addition, this was validated against the Forman experiment(Forman, et al., The journal of trauma and acute care surgery, vol. 77, 2014) where human cadavers of the upper extremity were axially impacted to replicate a car collision. This was done by generating the upper extremity geometry with segmentation of medical images of a right human hand in combination with the complete STL-geometry of the forearm from the Piper project. The STL-geometry of the segmented human hand and Piper forearm was integrated and a complete STL-geometry of the upper extremity was obtained. Based on the complete STL-geometry, the FE-arm HEX 4.0 was built with modelling of bones, ligaments, soft tissue and skin with corresponding material choice in accordance with Autoliv's requirements. The model HEX 4.0 was improved considering an increased mesh density from an average of 94% to 98%. HEX 4.0 was also validated against the data from the Forman experiment for experiments 5, 6 and 15. It showed a good correlation with the acceleration curves between the simulated and experimental values for the three experiments. The reaction force in the elbow was compared for experiment 15, where the simulated value 5.7 kN divided by a factor of 1.4 from 4 kN for the experiment. Furthermore, the fi rst principal strains that occurred in HEX 4.0 were analysed by 17 ms were the highest acceleration was achieved for experiments 5 and 6. Both experiments were shown to be close to the failure threshold of bones. However, the highest value e5=9.8E-03 occurred in the radius for experiment 5, while e6=9.3E-03 in a ligament for experiment 6. In addition, the failure threshold for experiment 15 exceeded 5 ms in lunate, schapoid and triquetrum. This indication of fractures is in good agreement with the experimental results where the corresponding bones resulted in fractures in experiment 15. HEX 4.0 was an improved upper extremity of the THUMS SAFER considering an increased mesh density. It is also capable of indicating fractures and corresponding positions in the form of analyzes of occurring stresses and strains. Nevertheless, improvements and further validation of HEX 4.0 has been proposed in the future work section.Globalt, dör varje år ungefär 1.2 miljoner personer på grund av trafi kolyckor.

Ett exempel på en HBM är THUMS SAFER som är baserad på en "50 percentile" amerikans man. Målet med denna studie är att förbättra över extremiten av THUMS SAFER med avseende på Autolivs krav för att bättre kunna förutspå frakturer. Dessutom validerades detta mot Forman experiment(Forman, et al., The journal of trauma and acute care surgery, vol. 77, 2014) där övre extremitet av människokadaver blev axiellt påverkade för att replikera en bilkollsion. Detta gjordes genom att generera STL-geometrin av en övre extremitet med segmentering av medicinska bilder av en höger människohand i kombination med färdig STL-geometri av underarmen från Piper projektet. STL-geometrin av den segmenterande människohanden och Piper underarmen integrerades och en komplett STL-geometri av övre extremiteten erhölls. Baserad på den kompletta STL-geometrin byggdes FE-armen HEX 4.0 med modellering av ben, ligament, mjukvävnad samt hud med motsvarande materialval i enighet med Autolivs krav. Modellen HEX 4.0 förbättrades i form av en ökad mesh densitet från medelvärdet 94% till 98%. Den validerades även gentemot data från Forman experimentet för experiment 5, 6 och 15. Det påvisade en god korrelation på accelerations kurvorna mellan de simulerade och experimentella värdena för de tre experimenten. Reaktionskraften i armbågen jämfördes för experiment 15 där den simulerade värdet 5.7 kN skiljde sig med en faktor 1.4 från 4 kN för experimentet. Ytterligare analyserades första huvudtöjningarna som uppkom i HEX 4.0 vid 17 ms, då den högsta accelerationen uppnådes för experiment 5 och 6. Det visades att båda experimenten låg nära gränsen för benfraktur, däremot uppkom det högsta värdet e5=9.8E-03 i radius för experiment 5, samt e6=9.3E-03 i ett ligament för experiment 6. Dessutom överskred gränsen för benfrakturer för experiment 15 efter 5 ms i lunate, schapoid och triquetrum. Denna indikation av frakturer stämmer väl med resultatet av experimentet där motsvarande benen resulterades i frakturer i experiment 15. HEX 4.0 är en förbättrad övre extremitet av THUMS SAFER i form av förbättrad meshdensitet. Den är även kapabel att indikera frakturer och motsvarande position i form av analyser på förekommande spänningar och töjningar. Förbättringar och ytterligare validering av HEX 4.0 föreslås för framtida arbete.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this body of work was to address medication errors and safe medication administration practices in relation to practicing nurses and nursing students via several different approaches. These different approaches will be presented as three separate papers but interrelated themes. The specific purpose for each paper and the corresponding research questions were addressed individually in each chapter. The approach used in the first paper was a systematic literature search of medication administration errors and the pediatric population; five themes emerged including the incidence rate of medication administration errors, specific medications involved in medication administration errors and classification of the errors, why medication administration errors occur, medication error reporting, and interventions to reduce medication errors. The approach used in the second paper included a systematic literature review and implementation of a survey, both focusing on the assessment strategies for safe medication administration with practicing nurses and nursing students. Results of both the review and the survey indicated a lack of a comprehensive assessment of safe medication administration. The approach used in the third paper was a research study to conduct a psychometric evaluation of the Safe Medication Administration (SAM) Scale with baccalaureate nursing students. Results provided evidence of the validity and reliability of the SAM Scale. This body of work exposed a gap in nursing and demonstrates the importance of having a standardized assessment of safe medication administration with evidence of validity and reliability to demonstrate competency in this area.

Full textAbstract:
The food sector accounts for $1 of every $6 in the U.S. economy, with more than $700 billion in revenue every year. However, incidents of food safety and substandard quality continue to rise. Consumers are beginning to mistrust and have lower confidence in the food supply chain. Food manufacturers need to address this issue to remain profitable. One approach includes the introduction of food policy programs that allow for independent auditing and certifications such as the Safe Quality Food (SQF) certification. The SQF certification was established as a rigorous and credible benchmark for food handlers to enforce food safety and quality standards. The purpose of this qualitative case study research was to evaluate the perceived usefulness of the SQF certification to food manufacturers. Guided by the theory of diffusion of innovation, data collection for this study included 35 stakeholder semistructured interviews and a review of 5 publicly available documents for triangulation. Thematic analysis of the transcripts was performed to generate answers to the research questions. Study findings revealed that if properly implemented, the SQF certification is a credible and robust GFSI scheme that provides effective guidelines for food production. Findings also revealed 2 opportunities for improvement. Participants noted that training programs for SQF practitioners and auditors should be improved, likewise more commitment and involvement of facility management should be required. The findings may contribute to social change by providing food producers with strategies to minimize food production failures. With the perceived benefits of the SQF certification, other food producers who have not adopted this scheme can benefit from this holistic certification to enhance their food production network.

Full textAbstract:
Microfrontend applications are composed of multiple smaller frontend applications, which are integrated at run-time. As with microservices, microfrontends can be updated in production at any time. There are no technological restrictions for releasing API-breaking updates. Therefore it is difficult to trust microfrontend applications to perform reliably in run-time and to introduce API-breaking updates without the risk of breaking consumers. This thesis presents Plutt, a tool that provides automatic guarantees for safely consuming microfrontends, by ensuring that updates in run-time are compatible. By using Plutt, consumers can be confident that a provided microfrontend will per- form the same during production as in development. Likewise, microfrontend providers can release updates without being concerned about how it will affect consumers. Moreover, a comprehensive survey about microfrontends is presented, where five industry experts are interviewed. Aspects that are not found in existing literature are discovered, which contributes to a broader knowledge base that helps future microfrontend research.Mikrofrontend-applikationer är sammansatta av flera mindre frontend-applikationer som integreras under exekvering. Precis som med mikrotjänster, kan mikrofrontends bytas ut i produktion när som helst. Det saknas teknologiska restriktioner för att publicera API-brytande uppdateringar. Därför är det svårt att lita på att en mikrofrontend-applikation beter sig tillförlitligt under exekvering samt att introducera API-brytande uppdateringar utan att riskera att förstöra konsumenter. Det här examensarbetet presenterar Plutt, ett verktyg som erbjuder automatiska garantier för att säkert konsumera mikrofrontends genom att säkerställa att uppdateringar som introduceras i körtid är kompatibla. Genom att använda Plutt, kan konsumenter vara trygga i vetskapen att en försedd mikrofrontend presterar likadant under produktion som i utveckling. Samtidigt kan utvecklare som förser mikrofrontends släppa uppdateringar utan att bekymra sig över hur det påverkar konsumenter. Utöver Plutt, presenteras en grundlig kartläggning över mikrofrontends, där fem experter från industrin är intervjuade. Aspekter som inte hittas i existerande litteratur är upptäckta, vilket kunskapsbas och framtida forskning om mikrofrontends.

Full textAbstract:
Studien är en källstudie vars syfte är att undersöka huruvida SARA B-SAFER fungerar som riskbedömningsinstrument och om brottsutvecklingen för våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer har ökat eller minskat under tidsperioden, åren 2000-2012. Urvalet för studien är Kalmar polismyndighet och Södertörn polismästardistrikt. Underlaget för studien är tidigare forskning från hur Polisen har arbetat med SARA B-SAFER och offentlig statistik på antalet anmälda brott från Brottsförebyggande rådet (BRÅ). Resultaten i studien visar på en ökning av antalet anmälda brott för våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer, samtidigt som anmälningarna ligger på en förhållandevis jämn nivå. Vidare indikerar studien på att det finns en komplexitet kring SARA B-SAFER som riskbedömnings-instrument, då det finns indikationer på att instrumentet har en prediktiv validitet. Åtgärder för att skydda brottsoffren hamnar i skymundan och SARA B-SAFER fungerar då inte preventivt, vilket kan förklara antalet ökade anmälningar för att instrumentet predicerar rätt.This study aims to appose if the SARA B-SAFER are successful as a risk-assessment tool and if the crime development for spousal against women have risen or declined between the years 2000-2012. Kalmar Police County and Södertörn Manor are participating and statistics over crimes for spousal violence against women are studied in these areas. The material for the study is earlier research and statistics from Brottförebyggande rådet (BRÅ). The result in the study show that the crimes for spousal violence against women have increased but lay on a stable level. Further there is a complexity about SARA as a risk-assessment tool, when it seems to work on a predictive level, but not as much on a preventive stage, as wishes. The predictive factor on SARA can explain the increased numbers of crimes.

Full textAbstract:
When I create art it is as though I am building a metaphorical cathedral. Although there is serenity and faith within the process, there simultaneously exists an equal measure of frustration and mystery in the final outcome. At times I am like an ancient Chinese monk who, scrambling to please a merciless emperor, stumbles at last upon his pet cricket’s cage and using this accidental inspiration designs the perfect plan for the Forbidden City. My art then, at its best, possesses the rigidity of ritual, the flexibility of enlightenment and the joy of invention. I believe in the power of symbolism and in its ability to deliver a clear and consistent message throughout the ages. This concept has driven me to create a pastoral robe fashioned from men’s ties, a Lenten calendar derived from ancient Christian symbols, as well as a collection of clay cups paired with linoleum block prints in memory of a Finnish love affair. Perhaps what I strive for most in my artistic life is to produce artwork that attains spiritual truth accessible to the wisest of professors and the humblest of peasants.

Full textAbstract:
We consider a syntactic restriction for higher-order grammars called safety that constrains occurrences of variables in the production rules according to their type-theoretic order. We transpose and generalize this restriction to the setting of the simply-typed lambda calculus, giving rise to what we call the safe lambda calculus. We analyze its expressivity and obtain a result in the same vein as Schwichtenberg's 1976 characterization of the simply-typed lambda calculus: the numeric functions representable in the safe lambda calculus are exactly the multivariate polynomials; thus conditional is not definable. We also give a similar characterization for representable word functions. We then examine the complexity of deciding beta-eta equality of two safe simply-typed terms and show that this problem is PSPACE-hard. The safety restriction is then extended to other applied lambda calculi featuring recursion and references such as PCF and Idealized Algol (IA for short). The next contribution concerns game semantics. We introduce a new concrete presentation of this semantics using the theory of traversals. It is shown that the revealed game denotation of a term can be computed by traversing some souped-up version of the term's abstract syntax tree using adequately defined traversal rules. Based on this presentation and via syntactic reasoning we obtain a game-semantic interpretation of safety: the strategy denotations of safe lambda-terms satisfy a property called P-incremental justification which says that the player's moves are always justified by the last pending opponent's move of greater order occurring in the player's view. Next we look at models of the safe lambda calculus. We show that these are precisely captured by Incremental Closed Categories. A game model is constructed and is shown to be fully abstract for safe IA. Further, it is effectively presentable: two terms are equivalent just if they have the same set of complete O-incrementally justified plays---where O-incremental justification is defined as the dual of P-incremental justification. Finally we study safety from the point of view of algorithmic game semantics. We observe that in the third-order fragment of IA, the addition of unsafe contexts is conservative for observational equivalence. This implies that all the upper complexity bounds known for the lower-order fragments of IA also hold for the safe fragment; we show that the lower-bounds remain the same as well. At order 4, observational equivalence is known to be undecidable for IA. We conjecture that for the order-4 safe fragment of IA, the problem is reducible to the DPDA-equivalence problem and is thus decidable.

En lien avec les dernières innovations dans le domaine des emballages, ce projet collaboratif a pour but d’implémenter de nouveaux micro- et nanomatériaux innovants pour le développement d’emballages actifs et intelligents dans le domaine alimentaire et médical. Il se focalise en particulier sur deux stratégies : le développement d’emballages antibactériens d’un côté et de capteurs de gaz de l’autre. La première stratégie est donc dédiée à l’utilisation combinée de nanofils d’argent et de nanofibrilles de cellulose pour la production de surfaces antibactériennes. La formulation d’encres ainsi que les paramètres de dépôt ont été optimisés pour différent procédés tels que l’enduction ou l’impression sérigraphique. Une forte activité antibactérienne contre des souches bactériennes Gram-positive mais aussi Gram-négative a été prouvée pour toutes les surfaces préparées. Des propriétés intéressantes relatives au domaine des emballage actifs ont aussi été démontrées telles que la conservation d’une haute transparence et l’amélioration des propriétés barrières. Dans la seconde stratégie, des capteurs de gaz ont été préparés en utilisant un mélange actif composé de Cuivre benzène-1,3,5-tricarboxylate Metal Organic Framework et de carbone-graphène, déposé sur des électrodes flexibles produites par sérigraphie. Les capteurs sont faciles à produire et ont été optimisés pour présenter de bonnes performances à la fois pour détecter et quantifier l’ammoniac gazeux mais aussi servir de capteurs d’humidité, ce qui prouve leur versatilité et leur important potentiel industriel. Ce projet a donc conduit à différentes solutions innovantes qui peuvent relever les défis de l’industrie des emballagesIn line with the latest innovations in the packaging field, this joint project aims at implementing new and innovative micro- and nanoparticles for the development of active and intelligent packaging solutions dedicated to food and medical packaging applications. More specifically, the project combines two major developments which both falls within the scope of active and intelligent packaging. In this work, a specific focus was given to the development of an antibacterial packaging solution and to the development of smart gas sensors. The antibacterial strategy developed was based on the combination of two active materials - silver nanowires and cellulose nanofibrils - to prepare antibacterial surfaces. The formulation as an ink and the deposition processing has been deeply studied for different surface deposition processes that include coatings or screen-printing. Results showed surfaces that display strong antibacterial activity both against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, but also interesting properties for active packaging applications such as a highly retained transparency or enhanced barrier properties. Regarding the second strategy, gas sensors have been prepared using a combination of Copper benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate Metal Organic Framework and carbon-graphene materials, deposited on flexible screen-printed electrodes. The easy-to-produce and optimized sensors exhibit good performances toward ammonia and toward humidity sensing, proving the versatility and the great potential of such solution to be adapted for different target applications. The results of this project lead to innovative solutions that can meet the challenges raised by the packaging industry

Full textAbstract:
Cloud computing is a significant step forward in computer science. It enables customers to use applications on devices such as telephones, tablets, and computers over the internet. However, in the case of some applications, moving to the cloud can be challenging. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is one example of such an application. ERPs need to be configurable since each company is different and has unique use cases. These configurations could be done by manipulating the logic and execution of programs by extending or modifying existing classes, basically writing customized plugins. The customer or the vendor could easily configure traditional offline single-tenant ERPs. Today, however, having this level of customization in a cloud-based multi-tenant ERP system is not an easy task. Since every customer shares the same application, though isolated from each other, changes made for one customer are made for every customer. Therefore, in this paper, we aim to find one or several answers to the question: how can you enable deep customization in multi-tenant SaaS systems in a secure way? A structured literature study is performed to analyze and investigate different solutions. The results gathered from the literature study showed that three solutions could be adapted: microservices, extensible programming, and static analysis tools. However, based on some requirements, extensible programming was found most suitable for the investigated ERP.configurable, multitenant, SaaS, code,

Full textAbstract:
La navigation par satellite prend un virage très important ces dernières années, d'une part par l'arrivée imminente du système Européen GALILEO qui viendra compléter le GPS Américain, mais aussi et surtout par le succès grand public qu'il connaît aujourd'hui. Ce succès est dû en partie aux avancées technologiques au niveau récepteur, qui, tout en autorisant une miniaturisation de plus en plus avancée, en permettent une utilisation dans des environnements de plus en plus difficiles. L'objectif aujourd'hui est de préparer l'utilisation de ce genre de signal dans une optique bas coût dans un milieu urbain automobile pour des applications critiques d'un point de vue sécurité (ce que ne permet pas les techniques d'hybridation classiques). L'amélioration des technologies (réduction de taille des capteurs type MEMS ou Gyroscope) ne peut, à elle seule, atteindre l'objectif d'obtenir une position dont nous pouvons être sûrs si nous utilisons les algorithmes classiques de localisation et d'hybridation. En effet ces techniques permettent d'avoir une position sans cependant permettre d'en quantifier le niveau de confiance. La faisabilité de ces applications repose d'une part sur une recherche approfondie d'axes d'amélioration des algorithmes de localisation, mais aussi et conjointement, sur la possibilité, via les capteurs externes de maintenir un niveau de confiance élevé et quantifié dans la position même en absence de signal satellitaireSatellite navigation has acquired an increased importance during these last years, on the one hand due to the imminent appearance of the European GALILEO system that will complement the American GPS, and on the other hand due to the great success it has encountered in the commercial civil market. An important part of this success is based on the technological development at the receiver level that has rendered satellite navigation possible even in difficult environments. Today's objective is to prepare the utilisation of this kind of signals for land vehicle applications demanding high precision positioning. One of the main challenges within this research domain, which cannot be addressed by classical coupling techniques, is related to the system capability to provide reliable position estimations. The enhancement in dead-reckoning technologies (i.e. size reduction of MEMS-based sensors or gyroscopes) cannot all by itself reach the necessary confidence levels if exploited with classical localization and integration algorithms. Indeed, these techniques provide a position estimation whose reliability or confidence level it is very difficult to quantify. The feasibility of these applications relies not only on an extensive research to enhance the navigation algorithm performances in harsh scenarios, but also and in parallel, on the possibility to maintain, thanks to the presence of additional sensors, a high confidence level on the position estimation even in the absence of satellite navigation signals

A simple three layer scheme is presented which broadly categorises the types of support that a computing system might provide for program monitoring and debugging, namely hardware, language and external software support. Considered as a whole , the scheme forms a model for an integrated debugging-oriented system architecture. This thesis describes work which spans the upper levels of this architecture. A programming language may support debugging by preventing or detecting the use of objects that have no value. Techniques to help with this task such as formal verification, static analysis, required initialisation and default initialisation are considered. Strategies for tracking variable status at run-time are discussed. Novel methods are presented for adding run-time pointer variable checking to a language that does not normally support this facility. Language constructs that allow the selective control of run-time unassigned variable checking for scalar and composite objects are also described. Debugging at a higher level often involves the extensive examination of a program's data structures. The problem of visualising a particular kind of data structure, the hierarchic graph, is discussed using the previously described language level techniques to ensure data validity. The elementary theory of a class of two-level graphs is presented, together with several algorithms to perform a clustering technique that can improve graph layout and aid understanding.

Full textAbstract:
In the context of the expansion and restructuring of the European Union, the borders of ‘sovereign nation states’ and their significance in an ever-globalising world economy are under continual scrutiny. The rejection and traversal of these borders occurs daily by illegalised migrants who continue to move; activists and community workers obstructing the physicality and enforcement of border controls, amongst many more quiet micro-political and everyday resistances. In this context it becomes important to analyse organisational frameworks and practices of transnational activist and charitable organisations working with migrants that construct boundaries and borders in their own practices. In particular, it’s necessary to recognise that the political activity of these groups takes place against a background of racialised discourses, which, for instance, construct migrant men as retrogressive on issues of gender and sexuality and shared spaces as unsafe or less safe as a result. This critical ethnography of migrant solidarity groups draws from fifteen interviews with activists and fifteen participant observations. This project looks at the ways that terms like ‘otherness’ and ‘safety’ are constituted, concluding that these conditions can be unmade and reconceptualised collectively through exploring shared vulnerabilities and the possibilities for solidarity through every day micropolitical activity. Building on critiques of ‘Safer Spaces’, this project argues against the necessity for all participants to ‘feel safe’ in order to take part in the collective social reproduction and that there is room for productive discomforts as a form of praxis. The tensions that emerge when examining the individualised experiences of tackling vulnerability in terms of a reliance upon personal ‘strength’ and ‘resilience’ concurrently with more collective attempts at embracing uncertainty reveal vulnerability to be a concept deeply necessary as part of bringing together disparate subjectivities in migrant solidarity organising spaces.

Full textAbstract:
Traditional approaches to safety in process plants tend to rely on 'added-on' safety measures as a means of minimising risk. During the design process the first stage at which safety is considered in detail is the HAZOP study. Inherent safety, where safety is designed into a plant has been found to have great benefits with regards to both safety performance and operating costs. In order to implement inherent safety fully it must be considered as early as possible in the design process, before decisions have been made which are fixed and costly to change. The major barrier to this is the lack of data available in the early design stage, which prevents different options being assessed for safety. The most important variable is that of inventory, as the quantity of material present is a major factor in determining the hazard posed by that material. The use of short-cut design methods together with simplifying assumptions was investigated to determine if they could be used in an inventory estimation study. It was found that such methods could be used. Although there are uncertainties in the available data it would be possible to use the methods to estimate the inventory of a process at the route selection stage of the design study. This would enable the comparison of different process routes in order to select the route that is the safest in relation to hazardous inventories and also to pinpoint which areas of a process have the greatest effect on safety. This would aid the design engineer to focus on the most hazardous items in a process plant and minimise that hazard.

Desenvolvedores evoluem linhas de produtos de software (LPSs) manualmente ou usando Ferramentas típicas de refatoração de programas. No entanto, quando a evolução de uma Linha de produtos é feita para introduzir novas características, ou para melhorar o seu projeto, é importante ter a certeza de que o comportamento dos produtos existentes não é modificado. Programas típicos de refatoração de software não podem garantir isso porque o contexto de LPS vai além de código, e outros tipos de artefatos de código, e envolve artefatos adicionais, tais como modelos de feature e configuration knowledge. Além disso, em uma LPS, normalmente temos que lidar com um conjunto de possíveis artefatos de código-fonte alternativos que não constitui um programa bem formado. Como resultado, mudanças manuais e ferramentas de refatoração de software existentes podem introduzir mudanças comportamentais ou invalidar configurações de produtos existentes. Para evitar isso, propomos abordagens e implementamos ferramentas para tornar a evolução de linhas de produtos mais segura; essas ferramentas verificam se transformações em LPS são refinamentos no sentido de que preservam o comportamento dos produtos originais da LPS. Elas implementam aproximações diferentes e práticas de uma definição formal de refinamento de LPS. Avaliamos as abordagens em cenários concretos de evolução de LPS, onde o comportamento do produto existente deve ser preservado. No entanto, nossas ferramentas constataram que algumas transformações introduziram mudanças comportamentais. Além disso, avaliamos refinamentos defeituosos, e o conjunto de ferramentas detectou as mudanças de comportamento.

Music CompositionD.M.A.
A monograph on the musical composition How We Saved the World, a multimedia musical drama written by the author, describes in detail the history of the writing of the piece, its context within his development as a composer, its context within our times, the writing and structure of the libretto, the characters and character types within the piece, their relationships with one another, the music of the piece and its construction. The two hour long composition requires 44 performers to stage: 14 singers, 8 dancers, and a conducted 21 piece orchestra. In addition to traditional acoustic instruments (winds, brass, percussion, strings) the orchestra includes electric guitars, drum set, and audio and video laptop performers. How We Saved the World is situated in a future time and begins with the premise that the world has been saved. Human beings have found a way to live in peace and harmony with one another and with the ecology of our planet Earth. We, the participants in the performance are sharing among ourselves the story of how human culture changed from the destructive, unsustainable practices and consciousness of the past. The libretto is included as an appendix. The score and all of the audio files needed to perform the piece are included as supplementary material.

Full textAbstract:
The £198M demolition industry sector is part of the construction industry, worth approximately £2.2bn in the UK p.a albeit such a small fraction it is nevertheless the largest provider of secondary building products, handles 32 million tonnes (approximately) of waste each year and is principally responsible for clearing brownfield sites in readiness for new build. Sustainable demolition activities are at the forefront of the UK Government and many NGO s policies on waste reduction, increased recycling and reclamation of waste building products at the end of life cycle. However, there are problems in developing more sustainable demolition processes based on historical methods of working, in particular, those involving manual handling activities. Whilst the UK construction industry boasts reduced accident and incident rates the demolition sectors rates are in the ascendency, rising by 43% overall from 1996 to 2009. That said, it would appear that those working within the sector are unaware of the rise in accidents which has steadily increased by 100% since 2000. Despite the demolition sector s increased use of mechanical applications for structural demolition, the prolonged and prolific method of stripping out buildings by hand remains a major risk and causal factor for injuries. The results of this research have identified the causation of such an increase in accident occurrence and has offered an insight into how the reduction of accident and incident may be accomplished. This research is unique in that practising exponents of the demolition sector have participated in providing exclusive evidence of methodology, accident reporting and waste handling protocols that give clear indications of a gulf in current thinking by government, NGO s and the enforcing authorities. The research has also identified failings in product and building design that create unsustainable conditions for safe, efficient and cost effective demolition, dismantling and handling of materials at end of life. This realisation also opens up the debate on the role of designers and their contribution to a safe and sustainable demolition process.

Full textAbstract:
The Design of structures under dynamic loading is a demanding subject in safety of engineering design since conventional static failure criteria are unable to deal with structures under transient loading. This work is a contribution to this significant phenomenon to investigate the response and failure of structures to pulse loading. An experimental rig has therefore been designed to achieve the target. A series of experiments has then been carried out to investigate the structural failure under pulse loading using a shock tunnel. A non-linear transient analysis of plates and cylindrical structures under pulse loading has also been performed using ANSYS finite element code in order to introduce a failure criterion for these specific conditions. A large-scale heat exchanger under pressure pulse loading was also analysed experimentally and numerically. The impulsive load has been chosen to be above the static design pressure to investigate the effects of impulsive load and its duration on the plate failure. A critical curve is presented to determine the critical pulse loading and its duration for structures. The relations between the transient pressure loading, its duration and the natural frequency of the structure are also explored. It is indicated that the value of the impulsive load on structures may exceed the static design pressure without structural failure. Both experimental work and numerical analyses suggest that the design criteria for structures under dynamic loading are more flexible than those under static loading in which no freedoms in deviation of any simple yield criterion exist. It is concluded that using a proper failure criterion for any specific problem can increase safe working region of the structures which leads to economical and safe dynamic design of structures.

As drones and autonomous cars become more widespread it is becoming increasingly important that robots can operate safely under realistic conditions. The noisy information fed into real systems means that robots must use estimates of the environment to plan navigation. Efficiently guaranteeing that the resulting motion plans are safe under these circumstances has proved difficult. We build a mathematical framework for analyzing the quality of estimated geometry, rigorously developing the notion of shadows. We then examine how to use these tools guarantee that a trajectory or policy is safe with only imperfect observations of the environment. We present efficient algorithms that can prove that trajectories or policies are safe with much tighter bounds than in previous work. Notably, the complexity of the environment does not affect our method's ability to evaluate if a trajectory or policy is safe. We also examine the implications of various mathematical formalisms of safety and arrive at a mathematical notion of safety of a long-term execution, even when conditioned on observational information.
