Full textAbstract:
With the emerging development of new technology and the constantly falling prices, more companies will find interest in industrial robots. Until today, the typical robot users have been large scale car manufacturers. But there exists a big potential market within the small to medium businesses that already uses of CNC machines. Attracting smaller businesses to start using industrial robots could open up the doors to new possibilities and increase their production. Unfortunately, most people still lack the knowledge of operating and programming industrial robots. But many companies have knowledge in G-code which is normally used in CNC machines. That is why this work is focussing on the development of a software that opens up the possibility to make use of G-code to program advanced robot paths with minimal user input. By striving for easier handling of robots, the vision about a more efficient and automated society will become one step closer. The introduction straightens out the different basic principles of CNC milling machines and robots. This will introduce the reader and highlight the different similarities and differences that exist between robots and CNC mills. The goal of this work has been to create an add-in application for ABB’s off-line programming software RobotStudio that was able to import at least one type of file format commonly used for CNC milling. The program should be able to handle some basic functionality, the focus has been on the standard iso6983 type of G-code. The project started with a literature study that gave the author a better insight in both the previous research within the area but also deeper knowledge of the systems CNC mills and robots. The work continued with the development of a software able to import the specified file format. The software has been built in C# and is built as an add-in software for ABB’s offline programming software RobotStudio. The result presents a software that is able to read different types of G-code and translate them into generated paths in RobotStudio. The software also has an inbuilt function in order to parameterize the G02 and G03 commands that represent curves in G-code into straight line segments of the type MoveL in RobotStudio.

Full textAbstract:
In recent years, Component models have become common for desktop and server-side applications. But it has not obtained such importance in case of embedded real-time systems. Therefore, there has been a lot of research undergoing for introducing such component models for embedded real-time systems. This thesis work proposes an alternative approach for doing this, by the generation of proxies. The idea is to provide an extension to an existing binary component and modify it to adapt to the targeted real-time operating system. Rather than modifying the existing component, a new component is generated, which is called as the proxy component. This newly generated proxy component provides the same method implementation as the original component and also provides some additional services. These services enable these components to meet the needs of targeted embedded real-time systems. In order to achieve this, a Visual Studio 2008 add-in has been created. This add-in is capable of inspecting an existing Smart Device Component and visualizes the Classes, Interfaces and Methods in the original component in its UI. In addition to this, the add-in also shows the available services to be included in the proxy component. The UI of the add-in is designed in such a way that, the user is able to select the services, which should be included in the proxy component. Based on the user’s selection, the add-in generates the proxy component with the additional services.

Full textAbstract:
La tesi inserita in un periodo di forte transizione dai sistemi Onpremises a sistemi Cloud ha avuto l'esigenza di risolvere alcune problematiche legate alla definizione delle infrastrutture.
Come poter scalare le risorse all'evenienza ricreando gli stessi ambienti, monitorandoli e mettendo in sicurezza i dati critici delle applicazioni?
La tesi ha risposto proprio a questa domanda definendo un nuovo paradigma nel concepire le infrastrutture chiamato Infrastructure as Code.
La tesi ha approfondito le pratiche e le metodologie che si sono legate maggiormente all'Infrastructure as Code tra le quali Version Control, Configuration Management, Continuous Integration e Continuous Delivery.
La tesi inoltre ha previsto la realizzazione di un prototipo finale nato dallo studio del flusso di sviluppo software aziendale, definendo gli ambienti in accordo ai sistemi di Version Control e Configuration Management, applicando pratiche di integrazione continua per giungere ad una deployment pipeline funzionale.

David, Åström. "Implementation and Evaluation of an Emulated Permission System for VS Code Extensions using Abstract Syntax Trees." Thesis, Linköpings universitet, Programvara och system, 2021. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:liu:diva-177474.
Full textAbstract:
Permission systems are a common security feature in browser extensions and mobile applications to limit their access to resources outside their own process. IDEs such as Visual Studio Code, however, have no such features implemented, and therefore leave extensions with full user permissions. This thesis explores how VS Code extensions access external resources and presents a proof-of-concept tool that emulates a permission system for extensions. This is done through static analysis of extension source code using abstract syntax trees, scanning for usage of Extension API methods and Node.js dependencies. The tool is evaluated and used on 56 popular VS Code extensions to evaluate what resources are most prevalently accessed and how. The study concludes that most extensions use minimal APIs, but often rely on Node.js libraries rather than the API for external functionality. This leads to the conclusion the inclusion of Node.js dependencies and npm packages is the largest hurdle to implementing a permission system for VS Code.

Full textAbstract:
This research explores the Automation Interface created by Beckhoff through introducinga compiler solution. Today machine builders have to be able to build machinesor plants in different sizes and provide many variations of the machine orplant types. Automatic code generation can be used in the aspect to reuse code thathas been tested and is configurable to match the desired functionality. Additionally,the use of a pre-existing API could potentially result in less engineering resourceswasted in developing automatic code generation. This thesis aims to evaluate theAutomation Interface (AI) tool created by Beckhoff. This is accomplished throughmeans of incorporating the API functions into a compiler solution. The solution isdesigned to export the information required through an XML-file to generate PLCapplications.The generated PLC-code will be in Structured Text. In order to createa functional PLC-application, the construction of software requirements and testcases are established. The solution is then validated by means of generating a dataloggerto illustrate the usage. The exploratory research revealed both the benefitsand cons of using AI to a compiler solution. The evaluation indicated that the AutomationInterface can reduce engineering effort to produce a compiler solution, butthe learning curve of understanding the underlying components that work with theAPI required a great deal of effort.

Full textAbstract:
För att upptäcka defekta luftmunstycken har Ecco FinishingABi Skara tagit fram en ny provutrustning som ska ersätta en otillförlitlig och osäker befintlig provmaskin. Ecco Fi-nishing AB vill hitta en tillförlitlig och säker mätmetod som ska mäta mängd vatten i 50 provrör. Examensarbetets övergripande mål är att hitta en noggrann och repeterbarmätmetod för nivåmätning av vätska i provrören. Två mätmetoder utvärderades som är mest lämpliga för nivåmätningen, visionsystem och mätning genom vägning. Anledningen till att valet ham-nade på dessa två mätmetoder är provutrustningens provrör, dels att det är många mätpunkter och för att det är små provrör. Det gjordes tjugo experiment för visionsystem och tjugoex-periment för vägningsmetodför att utvärdera och beskriva för -och nackdelar. Experimenten av visionsystem och vägning gjordes först i laborationsfas för att sedan testas på företagets befintliga provutrustning. Resultaten av mätningar sparades i ett Excel-ark som användes för att utvärdera insamlade data. Utvärderingarna jämfördes mot uppsatta mål, tillförlitlighet, noggrannhet, repeterbarhet, automatisk rapportering av resultat och tid för mätningen. Vis-ionsystem rekommenderas för fortsatt arbete och implementation på den befintliga provut-rustningen.To detect defective air nozzles, Ecco Finishing AB in Skara has developed a new test equip-ment to replace an unreliable and uncertain existing test machine. Ecco Finishing AB wants to find a reliable and safe measurement method that will measure the amount of water in 50 test tubes. The overall goal of the thesis is to find a precise and repeatable measurement method for level measurement of fluid in the test tubes. Two measurement methods were evaluated that are most suitable for level measurement, vision systems and measurement by weighing. The reason for the choice of these two measurement methods is the test tubes of the test equipment, and that there are many measuring points and because of the small test tubes. Twenty experiments for vision systems and twenty experiments for weighingmethodwere made to evaluate and describe pros and cons. The experiments of vision systems and weighing were first made in the laboratory phase and then tested on the company's existing test equipment. The results of measurements were saved in an Excel sheet used to evaluate collected data. The evaluations were compared to set goals, reliability, accuracy, repeatabil-ity, automatic reporting of results and time of measurement. Vision systems are recom-mended for continued work and implementation on the existing test equipment

Il processo di Data Entry manuale non solo è oneroso dal punto di vista temporale ed economico, lo è ancor di più poiché rappresenta una fonte di errore: per questi motivi, l’acquisizione automatizzata delle informazioni lungo la catena produttiva è un obiettivo fortemente desiderato dal Gruppo per migliorare i propri business.
Le tecnologie analizzate, ormai diffuse e standardizzate in ampia scala come barcode, etichette logistiche, terminali in radiofrequenza, possono apportare grandi benefici ai processi aziendali, ancor più integrandole su misura agli ERP aziendali, permettendo una registrazione rapida e corretta delle informazioni e la diffusione immediata delle stesse all’intera organizzazione.
L’analisi dei processi e dei flussi hanno evidenziato le criticità e permesso di capire dove e quando intervenire con una progettazione che risultasse quanto più la best suite possibile. Il lancio dei fabbisogni, l’entrata, la mappatura e la movimentazione merci in Magazzino, lo stato di produzione, lo scarico componenti ed il carico di produzione in Confezionamento e Semilavorazione, l’istituzione di un magazzino di interscambio Dogana, un flusso di tracciabilità preciso e rapido, sono tutti eventi che modificheranno i processi aziendali, snellendoli e svincolando risorse che potranno essere reinvestite in operatività a valore aggiunto superiore.
I risultati potenzialmente ottenibili, comprovati anche dalle esperienze esterne di fornitori e consulenza, hanno generato le condizioni necessarie ad un rapido studio e start dei lavori: il Gruppo è entusiasta ed impaziente di portare a termine quanto prima il progetto e di andare a regime con la nuova modalità operativa, snellita ed ottimizzata.

Lawson, John. "Duty specific code driven design methodology : a model for better codes." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2002. http://ethos.bl.uk/OrderDetails.do?uin=uk.bl.ethos.274818.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines Engineering Design and its methodology in general before examining and comparing the principal differences between Inventive Design and Development Design. This latter branch of design is described in detail, recognising that it is executed in accordance with recognised specifications, design codes and standards. Design Codes and Standards are analysed in terms of the service they provide to the professional design engineer who will normally work under the procedures and accepted standards of a Professional Design House. Professional design is an important part of all disciplines in the engineering profession. Such design work is executed by specialists, invariably guided in their work by recognised Specifications, Design Standards or Codes of Practice published by recognised reputable bodies who appoint working parties or independent committees to write and maintain these documents. Design Standards and Codes of Practice are at best unclear and at worst confusing if not down right contradictory within themselves. Usually there is more than one such Standard or Code available to the professional design engineer often based on geographical location; BSI in the UK, DIN or ISO in Europe and perhaps ASME ANSI in the USA. There are of course several others. The professional design process is analysed and described in order to demonstrate the commercial and project constraints associated with professional development design. The model usually adopted in the preparation and presentation of these codes and standards is critiqued and a better model proposed for standard adoption.

Full textAbstract:
This independent work includes refactoring a website application. In simpler sense, it means modernizing existing code by increasing its quality and making it more understandable; to exchange old knowledge of methods and concepts into something that is more relevant to its time. This refactoring has also meant to transform the UI into something that is more appealing, and more userfriendly. The website that has gone through the refactoring is Nordyr (”https://nordyr.com/”). Nordyr is a Nordic Film & Series Database that shares information about Nordic films and tv-series, and everyone involved. They also offer social tools such as user profiles and various tools to simplify the exploration and interaction between Nordic movies and consumers. This was made possible by using vanilla PHP, JavaScript/jQuery, and the MariaDB database for information storage and management. The implementation of the refactoring meant retaining PHP for the backend, but applying the Laravel framework, and likewise for JavaScript, but applying ReactJS (a powerful JavaScript library). Nordyr retains MariaDB for its information storage and management, however, its SQL queries have been adapted to Laravel’s query-builder and Eloquent ORM, which means that the majority of SQL queries have been rewritten and the majority of data tables are now represented by models. The restructuring of Nordyr has shown that the website now has the ability to scale better, and the development environment will also be more pleasant for those involved.Det här självständiga arbetet har innefattat att omstrukturera en hemsida. Det innebär i enklare mening att modernisera kod och öka dess kvalité; att byta ut äldre kunskaper om metoder och koncept till något som anses vara av mer relevans för sin tid. Refaktoreringen har också inneburit att dess UI gjorts om till att bli mer tilltalande och användarvänlig. Hemsidan som gått igenom refaktoreringen är Nordyr (”https://nordyr.com/”). Nordyr är en Nordisk Film- & Serie-databas som delar information om nordiska filmer och tv-serier och alla inblandade. De erbjuder även sociala verktyg som användarprofiler och diverse verktyg för att förenkla upptäckandet och interaktionen mellan nordiska titlar och konsumenter. Detta gjordes möjligt med hjälp av vanilj PHP, JavaScript/jQuery, och databasen MariaDB för informationslagring och hantering. Genomförandet av refaktoreringen innebar att behålla PHP för backend men tillämpa ramverket Laravel, och likaså för frontend, JavaScript stod kvar men ReactJS (”JavaScript bibliotek”) tillämpades. Nordyr behåller MariaDB, men dess förfrågningar i SQL har anpassats till Laravels query-builder och Eloquent ORM, vilket innebar att majoriteten av SQL frågor skrivits om och majoriteten av tabeller representeras nu av modeller (”Models”). Omstruktureringen av Nordyr har visat på att hemsidan nu har förmågan att skala bättre, och utvecklingsmiljön kommer även bli mer behaglig för de inblandade.

Full textAbstract:
En aéronautique civile, les systèmes électriques qui composent l'avion sont de plus en plus nombreux, de par l'accroissement des fonctionnalités, des besoins des usagers (confort), mais aussi par le besoin d'améliorer les performances des actionneurs électromécaniques et hydrauliques, voire de les remplacer par du tout électrique. Ainsi, les systèmes d'électroniques de puissance sont les premiers dispositifs électriques que voient les actionneurs. Ces dispositifs sont interfacés avec les interfaces de pilotage par des systèmes de contrôles-commandes.Les normes aéronautiques imposent que tous les dispositifs utilisés dans un avion répondent à des contraintes sévères quant à leur fiabilité et leur sécurité de fonctionnement. Dans le cas précis des convertisseurs statiques qui pilotent les actionneurs, on est confronté aux normes de fonctionnement des réseaux électriques, aux normes C.E.M., aux normes environnementales (au sens du contexte du dispositif), et aux normes liés aux systèmes de contrôle.
Le marché de l'aéronautique, bien que très spécifique, est très concurrentiel au niveau mondial. Les multiples objectifs de matériels très performants, très fiables, très sûrs, mais les moins chers possibles sont donc de véritables problématiques.
Dans le cadre des convertisseurs statiques, un moyen pour réduire les coûts est l'utilisation de DSP (Digital Signal Processors) pour maximiser l'intégration de la commande et pour réduire les coûts, mais ce composant n'est pas conçu pour le milieu aéronautique.
L'ensemble de cette étude porte sur la conception d'un nouveau type de radar marqué par plusieurs ruptures technologiques. Le prototype réalisé comporte un convertisseur statique piloté par un DSP, mais ayant des fonctionnalités qui vont largement au-delà du convertisseur basique d'électronique de puissance. L'aspect « système » est largement pris en compte. Le convertisseur mis en oeuvre est un dispositif autonome de pilotage de moteurs.

Full textAbstract:
I takt med att verksamheten snabbt måste kunna ställa om sig baserat på omvärldens alltmer snabba föränderlighet växer ärendehögen med utvecklingsinsatser hos IT- avdelningen. Under många år har olika verktyg kommit och gått där syftet varit att möjliggöra för personer utan programmeringskunskaper att kunna skapa applikationer. På senare tid har ett uppsving av så kallad utveckling med hjälp av low-code/no-code tagit fart där anställda ute i verksamheten själva ska kunna utveckla applikationer, ofta genom grafiska användargränssnitt. Syftet med denna studie är att titta på de fenomen som finns kopplade till användningen av dessa verktyg baserat på de artiklar som IDG- koncernen publicerat under år 2017-2021. Med avstamp i den aktuella rapporteringen studeras också den potentiella framtida synen kring användningen av dessa verktyg. Metodvalet i denna studie är den tematiska innehållsanalysen (Braun & Clarke 2006) där artiklarna lästes igenom och analyserades med hjälp av koder som sedan organiserades till teman. De fenomen som identifierades var ett ökat partnerskap verksamhet/IT, ökande trend, integrationsmöjligheter, flexibilitet, medborgarutvecklarens centrala roll, ökad utvecklingstakt, automatisering samt utmaningar kopplade till användningen av low-code/no-code. De effekter som uppnås med dessa verktyg är ett ökat partnerskap mellan verksamhet och IT vilket leder till en ökad utvecklingstakt i organisationer där medborgarutvecklaren får en central roll som också får större fokus vid den senare rapporteringen. Stor grad av flexibilitet och goda integrationsmöjligheter är något som nämns vid användning av low-code/no-code samt att de kan skapa förutsättningar för en ökad grad av automatisering. Utmaningarna är få och de avtar i den senare rapporteringen. Här nämns svårigheter att skapa vissa typer av integrationer eller specifik funktionalitet. En utmaning kan också vara att professionella utvecklare kan känna sig hotade av användningen av dessa verktyg men att detta förmodligen inte är ett problem då verktygen leder till att IT-avdelningen kan ägna sig åt mer komplexa uppgifter. Den framtida synen kring användningen av dessa verktyg är positiv i och med ett högt förhållande av positiva kontra negativa effekter samt att marknaden för dessa verktyg är växande vilket är något som ofta återkommer i rapporteringen.

Full textAbstract:
In December 1865 the South Carolina State Legislature ratified a series of laws designed to control the social and economic futures of the freedpeople. Informally known as the Black Code, South Carolina’s white leadership claimed these laws protected blacks from their own naiveté in their newfound freedom. Rather, the Black Code relegated African Americans to inferiority and perpetuated the long-standing belief in white supremacy that permeated the South.
The South Carolina Black Code limited the freedmen’s civil rights, regulated their employment opportunities, and attacked the details of their most intimate personal relationships. Despite the challenges they faced, African American’s did not quietly accept their new quasi-slave status. In South Carolina, the freedmen voiced their concerns regarding the new laws and became active in state politics. African Americans embraced their opportunity to create positive political change, which along with other factors ultimately led to the demise of the Black Code. With support both locally and nationally, black South Carolinians soon gained rights previously denied to them. In less than a year’s time, the South Carolina Black Code ceased to exist as a result of state and federal legislation.
The significance of the South Carolina Black Code was not as much in the letter of the laws themselves, but rather in the message the creation of the code sent to both the freedpeople and their supporters. To South Carolina’s white leadership, though free, African Americans were not their equals. Moreover, the Black Code established precedent for future laws designed to discriminate against African Americans. The Black Code created a foundation for antebellum-like hostilities against former slaves in the post-bellum South. Segregation and violence ensued and fostered a legacy that lasted for almost a century.

As American professional journalism with its established rules and values transitions to the little-regulated, ever-evolving world of digital news, few of its practitioners, contributors and consumers are giving thought to the moral and intellectual implications that this transition entails. While technologists and innovators have embraced this passage into a hybrid model of skilled and citizen-generated news production, even spearheading its new practices at times, this transition is taking place in a moral and regulatory void: without a strong legislative foundation for cyberspace and revised ethical rules for the journalism profession online, media professionals and independent news producers lack guidance and tools to respond appropriately to new ethical issues not covered by current laws and ethical codes. Some of the key questions facing the profession are: should online journalism and all new forms of news media production be regulated, and if so, to what extent and by whom? What constitutes ethical collaboration? How does current regulation operate? Should or could it be extended to the digital domain? In this thesis I argue that professional and amateur news publishing on the Internet and other digital formats have created new social issues, ethical dilemmas and unanticipated situations for journalists, which are specific to digital media and unaddressed by current laws, standards, and codes of ethics. Following an analysis of these issues and the deficiencies of current ethics codes, using a real-life case study and comments from working journalists on their new professional needs, I then propose my vision for online news media production, arguing for an open-source, participatory model supported by a solid, individual ethical foundation and a revised relationship with sources. The thesis culminates with my proposed code of ethics for collaborative journalism in the digital age, the Open Park Code of Ethics and the Global Media Ethics Forum. Initially conceived as a news-reporting and educational tool for the Open Park project of The MIT Center for Future Civic Media, the OP Code reflects the principles and guidelines of my open-source model and is readily usable and adaptable to the needs of varied news media communities and individual producers.

Sous quelles conditions un territoire est-il construit en regard de la programmation informatique? Comment reterritorialiser Internet à l'échelle du corps? Par où l'algorithme pénètre-t-il nos échanges symboliques? Avec la société i Matériel, puisqu'il s'agit de composer avec les flux d'informations, nous devons presque accepter de partir de nulle part et d'in-terminer notre développement. Aussi, loin de vouloir établir des catégories ou des principes prétendant établir un plan d'action, cette thèse se pose le problème de ce qui toujours, dans un programme, échappe aux codes; des nouvelles images telles qu'elles débordent les écrans et des milieux humains, profondément hybridés par les automates programmés. Pour penser les flux, il est indispensable de considérer un terrain, un fragment de milieu humain. Deux projets en rapport avec cette notion de territoire – une mission de service public visant à mettre en réseau un ensemble d'opérateurs culturels sur la ville de Bourg-en-Bresse, et une œuvre d'art numérique investissant, par le portrait social, la question d'une ré-appropriation individué des flux – nous permettront de faire progresser ce mi-lieu hyper-complexe entre le corps et le programme. En définitive, il s'agira de voir quels genres d'affect il nous est nécessaire de connaître afin que les réseaux numériques accompagnent une augmentation de notre puissance d'existerUnder what conditions a territory is built in regard to computer programming? How to reterritorialize Internet to a body scale? By where the algorithm penetrates our symbolic exchanges? With the i-material society, since we have to compose with the flow of information, we almost have to accept to start from nowhere and un-finish our development. Also, far from wanting to establish categories or principles claiming to establish an action plan, this thesis asks itself the problem of what, in a program, always escapes the codes; new images as they go beyond the screens and human environments, deeply hybridized by programmed automatons. To think flows, it is essential to consider a ground, a human environment fragment. Two projects related to the notion of territory --- a public service mission aimed to develop a network of cultural operators all over the city of Bourg-en-Bresse, and a digital art work investing, with the social portrait, the question of a re-appropriation of individuated stream --- will allow us to progress throughout this hyper-complex halfway between the body and the program. Ultimately, it will be to see what kind of affect it is necessary for us to know so that digital networks accompany an increase in our power to exist

Form-based zoning is a relatively recent innovation in zoning reform. Many cities in the U.S. have adopted form-based codes in lieu of or as a supplement to conventional zoning and many more are in the process of studying and legislating this alternative. Form-based codes focus on the physical form of the built environment by prescribing parameters for physical form representing a specific intent for the public realm. Typically, form-based codes consist of regulating plan(s), urban standards (building envelope standards and streetscape/thoroughfare standards), and architectural standards. This thesis questions if the 'product' of form-based codes, i.e. the place imagined as a consequence of form-based codes, is differentiable based on place character. Place character refers to certain physical qualities based on location (loci) as well as certain perceptual qualities based on the life in these spaces (genius). This thesis hypothesizes that form-based could certainly result in quality urban spaces but the essential character of these spaces could be singular and indistinguishable from place to place. In order to examine this proposition, this thesis follows the terrain of a representative sample of form-based codes, which are studied as a proxy for the places that are intended as a consequence of implementation.
(cont.) The narrative for each code, which could be described as a specific interaction between the conceptual framework of the code and the contextual framework of a place, is dissected along specific cross-sections, such as geography, chronology, scale/structure, intent, typology, and fit. In addition, qualitative correlations across cross-sections were used to explain patterns observed in the cross-sections.A secondary question posed by this thesis examines the impact of factors peripheral to the code, such as the place itself, the process, the people involved, and the policy framework, on this lack of differentiation based on place character. This thesis concludes that form-based codes, as a conceptual framework, possess the structure and flexibility to be responsive to a place-based contextual framework. The lack of place character is a consequence of the limited narratives that define the intent of the code with respect to place and classify the code typologically.This is partially influenced by the current association of form-based codes with New Urbanism. In addition, this lack of differentiation based on place character is not necessarily endemic to the code itself but a consequence of factors peripheral to the code, i.e. processes that precede the code and/or processes that follow the code.

Full textAbstract:
This research attempts to expose the patterns of language behavior of two five-year old bilingual children through the analysis of the code-switching and code-mixing occurrences in their everyday conversational interactions. The goal of the study is to analyze the code choice and the motivation behind such pattern in order to see whether there are any differences between the two case studies, and most of all, what is causing these differences in linguistic behavior to occur. Data used in analysis was collected during informal conversations recorded in home domain of the two families studied. The recorded data along with the observational notes collected was then analyzed sentence by sentence and separated into several dyads in order to understand the relation between the children‟s code-switching/code-mixing and the interlocutor.
It is concluded that most common motivation behind their code choice is solidarity –establishing “we code”, referential, directive, and reactive to positive/ negative face and power. The major difference between the two children‟s language behavior regarding code choice is rather in the patterns of code-switching versus code-mixing. The boy, being a natural bilingual who acquired the second language (L2) simultaneously is more prone to code-switch in certain situations. On the other hand, the girl, who acquired L2 consecutively and therefore adopted the syntax of Serbian language, uses more code-mixing during her conversational interactions. This showed close connection of the linguistic behavior with the linguistic environment exposing essential mechanisms of children‟s ability to adjust their language skills to their conversational needs.Thesis (M.A.)--Wichita State University, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, Dept. of Anthropology

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the evolution and limitations of regulatory and historic district overlay zones and the inherent conflicts between the two as applied in Virginia. Historic district overlay zoning and the establishment of local historic districts and design review boards has developed in response to the failures of traditional zoning techniques to adequately protect the architectural character of Virginia’s historic urban landscapes. After almost fifty years of practice and improvement in the fields of urban planning and historic preservation, synchronizing regulatory and historic district overlay zones still presents difficulties for municipal administrators. Several Virginia jurisdictions are highlighted in the thesis to provide an insight into the application of these planning and preservation paradigms. These different municipal codes will provide a sample set of the most common problems which exist between regulatory and historic district overlay zoning. These issues include-design, nonconforming uses, code and conflicting ordinances, appeals, and demolitions by neglect clauses. While this thesis seeks to identify the most common problems found between regulatory and historic districts within Virginia it is not comprehensive nor does it provide recommendations for how to address the inherent conflicts.

Full textAbstract:
This essay is a study of how English is used in a Swedish discussion forum called Flashback. The mixing of two languages when speaking or writing is called Code switching. Code switching often occurs in bilingual societies. In Sweden it is possible to say that English is a second language due to the daily encounter with the language through education, but also through different media. The daily encounter with English and the number of English loan words in Swedish might be a reason why code switching exists in Sweden. The material that was analyzed in this essay was collected from Flashback and analyzed with a method based on Sharp’s (2001) study of spoken language. The aim of this study was to see how often and in what way the users on Flashback code switched between Swedish and English. The results showed that even though English was used in the discussion, Swedish was the main language. Most of the code switches that were found in the material occurred in mixed units, in other words English was mixed with Swedish.

Il monitoraggio della glicemia risulta fondamentale per pazienti diabetici, poiché rappresenta il punto di partenza per la cura della malattia. In particolare risulta quindi estremamente utile un automonitoraggio della glicemia, in quanto, essendo il diabete una malattia cronica, deve essere costantemente tenuta sotto controllo. Questo ha portato allo sviluppo di strumenti di analisi che fossero principalmente semplici da usare, per permettere a chiunque, anche senza alcuna conoscenza in materia, di poter effettuare test glicemici, e quindi che fossero pratici, non ingombranti e di rapido utilizzo.

Full textAbstract:
It is a frequently observed phenomenon that language learners often turn to their native language in the foreign language classroom, i.e. they code-switch, but why is it so? In order to investigate this, this study had two aims; the first aim was about trying to see if the frequency of code-switching differed depending on the questions’ levels of difficulty. This study was conducted on three different upper-secondary schools and involved 24 pupils. The pupils’ age varied from 16 to 19. The hypotheses were that pupils code-switch less when answering basic level questions and more when answering advanced level questions. Small groups were observed and they read a text and answered eight questions. The results showed that the pupils did code-switch more on the advanced level questions and less on the basic level questions. They code-switched 15 times on the basic level-questions and 21 times on the advanced level-questions. However, this is not a big difference since there were only six instances that differed between them. The second aim was about trying to see if one could categorize code-switching. It was based on Sert’s (2005) three categories; Equivalence, Reiteration and Floor-holding and four other categories invented by the researcher of this study; Student-student code-switching, Student-researcher code-switching, Comfort code-switching and Sorry code-switching, thus, seven categories in total. The results showed that the pupils did code-switch differently and that Sert’s categories did exist, but they were not enough that is why the researcher added the four other categories.

A dual continuum, three-dimensional, isothermal ground-water flow code for

a laboratory block study and data from a monitored field location at the Apache Leap
Research Site. Variably saturated water flow in the matrix as well as in the fracture
system are described with two separate Richards' equation. Flow between the
respective continua is simulated by means of a first order rate equation. Relative
permeabilities are calculated using the van Genuchten characteristic relation. The
formulation leads to a coupled system of nonlinear partial differential equations which
are solved numerically using an integrated finite difference technique. Model
calibrations were developed from existing data and supplemented with estimates of
parameters not supported by previous research. Estimates included; initial conditions,
fracture porosity, fracture van Genuchten parameters (a, m and Or) and the transfer
factor. DCM3D proved able to reproduce flow behavior from both test cases.
However, given the degrees of freedom, a unique solution was not found. Therefore,
an evaluation on the conceptual understanding of flow in each test case was not
possible. Sensitivity runs on fracture parameters showed fracture saturated intrinsic
permeability and fracture porosity to be the most sensitive parameters relating to
travel time. Increases in model complexity dramatically increased run times.

In 2013, the United States Supreme Court heard the case of Association of Molecular Pathology v. Myriad Genetics. The case asked one question: are human genes patentable? Gene patents became commonplace during the biotechnology revolution of the 1980s, but generated a complex web of moral, legal, and biological questions. While some viewed gene patents as necessary in promoting and sustaining innovation, others felt that owning the code of life was morally and legally misguided. This tension played a central role in the early years of the Human Genome Project, and continued as people experienced the challenging consequences of assigning property rights to our shared biology. Several patients with genetic diseases were forced to navigate limited or expensive testing because of a company's genetic monopoly. Some scientists worried that their research might infringe a patent. When the Supreme Court decided the Myriad trial, ruling that unaltered human genes were not patent-eligible, their decision marked a surprising and historic shift in the relationship between patent law and fundamental biology-but questions and uncertainty about a future without gene patents remain.

Full textAbstract:
Le encefalopatie spongiformi trasmissibili (EST), o malattie da prioni, sono malattie neurodegenerative che colpiscono l'uomo e gli animali. Le più note tra le EST animali sono la scrapie della pecora e della capra, l’encefalopatia spongiforme bovina (BSE), la Sindrome del dimagrimento cronico (CWD) dei cervidi. Negli uomini ricordiamo la malattia di Creutzfeldt-Jakob (CJD) nelle sue diverse forme (sporadica, genetica, iatrogenica e variante). La dimostrazione che la variante della CJD (vCJD) sia causata dallo stesso agente eziologico della BSE, ha evidenziato il potenziale zoonotico di queste malattie.
Le EST sono caratterizzate da tempi di incubazione estremamente lunghi ed esito invariabilmente fatale. Il momento patogenetico centrale comune a tutte queste malattie è rappresentato dalla modificazione conformazionale di una proteina cellulare denominata PrPC (proteina prionica cellulare) in una isoforma patologica denominata PrPSc, insolubile e caratterizzata da una parziale resistenza alle proteasi, che tende a depositarsi sotto forma di fibrille amiloidee nel SNC dei soggetti colpiti.
La suscettibilità degli ovini alla scrapie è largamente influenzata dal genotipo del gene dell’ospite che codifica per la PrP (PRNP), e più precisamente da tre polimorfismi presenti ai codoni 136, 154 e 171. Questi si combinano in cinque principali alleli, ARQ, VRQ, AHQ, ARH e ARR, correlati a differenti gradi di suscettibilità alla malattia. Risultati ottenuti da un precedente studio d’infezione sperimentale di ovini di razza Sarda con scrapie classica (Vaccari G et al 2007), hanno suggeriscono l’ordine di suscettibilità ARQ>AHQ>ARH. L’allele ARR, è risultato invece associato ai più alti livelli di protezione dalla malattia. Dallo stesso studio di trasmissione sperimentale e da uno studio epidemiologico di tipo caso-controllo, è inoltre emerso che nella razza Sarda, ovini con l’allele ARQ, con sostituzione amminoacidica al codone 137 Metionina (M)/Treonina (T) (AT137RQ) o al 176 Asparagina (N)/Lisina (K) (ARQK176) in eterozigosi sono protetti dalla scrapie.
Inoltre studi di trasmissione sperimentale della BSE in ovini della stessa razza con tre differenti genotipi (ARQ/ARQ, ARQ/ARR e ARR/ARR), hanno dimostrato come la BSE abbia un targeting genetico molto simile a quello della scrapie, evidenziando il genotipo ARQ/ARQ come il più suscettibile.
L’obbiettivo della seguente tesi è stato quello di verificare se fosse possibile riprodurre in vitro la differente suscettibilità genetica degli ovini alle EST evidenziata in vivo, utilizzando il PMCA (Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification), la metodica ad oggi più promettente e di cui è stata dimostrata la capacità di riprodurre in vitro diverse proprietà biologiche dei prioni. La tecnica, attraverso cicli ripetuti di sonicazione/incubazione, permette la conversione in vitro della PrPC presente in un omogenato cerebrale (substrato), da parte di una quantità minima di PrPSc (inoculo) che funge da “innesco” della reazione. Si è voluto inoltre utilizzare il PMCA per indagare il livello di protezione in omozigosi di alleli rari per i quali, in vivo, si avevano evidenze di protezione dalla scrapie solo in eterozigosi, e per studiare la suscettibilità degli ovini alla BSE adattata in questa specie. È stata quindi testata in PMCA la capacità diversi substrati ovini recanti differenti genotipi, di amplificare la PrPSc dello stesso isolato di scrapie classica impiegato nel precedente studio in vivo o di un inoculo di BSE bovina. Inoltre sono stati saggiati in vitro due inoculi di BSE costituiti da omogenato cerebrale di due ovini sperimentalmente infettati con BSE (BSE ovina) e recanti due differenti genotipi (ARQ/ARQ e ARR/ARR). Per poter descrivere quantitativamente il grado di correlazione osservato i risultati ottenuti in vitro e i quelli riscontrati dallo studio di sperimentazione con scrapie, espressi rispettivamente come fattori di amplificazione e tempi d’incubazione registrati in vivo, sono stati analizzati con un modello di regressione lineare.
Per quanto riguarda la scrapie, i risultati ottenuti hanno evidenziato come i genotipi associati in vivo a suscettibilità (ARQ/ARQ, ARQ/AHQ and AHQ/ARH) siano anche quelli in grado di sostenere in PMCA l’amplificazione della PrPSc, e come quelli associati a resistenza (ARQ/ARR and ARR/ARR) non mostrino invece nessuna capacità di conversione. Dall’analisi di regressione lineare è inoltre emerso come l’efficienza di amplificazione in vitro dei differenti genotipi testati sia inversamente proporzionale ai tempi d’incubazione registrati in vivo. Inoltre nessuna amplificazione è stata
riscontrata utilizzando il substrato con genotipo raro ARQK176/ARQK176 suggerendo come anche questo possa essere associato a resistenza, almeno nei confronti dell’isolato di scrapie classica utilizzato.
Utilizzando come inoculo in PMCA l’isolato di BSE bovina, è stato possibile riscontrare, nei tre genotipi analizzati (ARQ/ARQ, ARQ/ARR e ARR/ARR) un evidente amplificazione per il solo genotipo ARQ/ARQ, sottolineando anche in questo caso l’esistenza di una correlazione tra suscettibilità riscontrata in vivo e capacità di conversione in PMCA.
I tre i substrati analizzati mostrano inoltre una buona efficienza di amplificazione, per altro simile, se si utilizza la PrPSc dell’inoculo di BSE sperimentalemente trasmessa agli ovini. Questi genotipi sembrerebbero dunque ugualmente suscettibili se esposti a BSE adattata alla specie ovina.
I risultati di questa tesi indicano dunque una correlazione diretta tra la capacità di conversione della PrPC con il PMCA e la suscettibilità osservata in vivo per i differenti genotipi analizzati. Mostrano inoltre come il PMCA possa essere una valida alternativa agli studi di trasmissione in vivo e un rapido strumento utile non soltanto per testare, ma anche per predire la suscettibilità genetica degli ovini a diversi ceppi di EST, rappresentando un valido aiuto per l’individuazione di ulteriori genotipi resistenti, così da incrementare la variabilità genetica dei piani di selezione attuati per gli ovini per il controllo di queste malattie.

As everyday musical experiences move further into software platforms, an interest among musicians in taking fuller advantage of computational media produces a strand of interactive, software-based musical works I call open mediational music. This phenomenon stands apart from other types of creative work centered on music and interaction by valorizing the listener's responsibility for instantiating musical works. It also advances an agenda of openness with respect to interactivity as a principle of new media. I center four case studies on a set of interactive musical works that exemplify this phenomenon: Reflective by Reiko Yamada, Thicket by Morgan Packard and Joshue Ott, Jazz. Computer by Yotam Mann and Sarah Rothberg, and Baggage Allowance by Pamela Z. Each of these works takes shape out of unique motivations and in different forms and settings. Collectively, they advance a notion of platforms as objects of critical awareness and propose listening as a model for mindful participation in algorithmic environments. Illuminating the distinct claims that sound and software hold on one another as creative domains, open mediational music invites listeners to rehearse a conscientious engagement with the sites and conditions of computationally mediated cultural encounter.

Full textAbstract:
CSR, handlar om företags sociala ansvarstagande i samhället de verkar. I ett led att ta ansvar så upprättar företag en code of conduct, en uppförandekod, vars syfte är att förmedla hur företaget tar ansvar och agerar i olika situationer. En bransch som kraf-tigt har ökat sitt arbete med CSR är bankbranschen. En förklaring till det skulle kunna vara att de utpekades som starkt bidragande till den senaste finanskrisen år 2008.Banker måste följa stadgar och regler från Finansinspektionen och därigenom upp-rätta en uppförandekod. Även om bankernas uppförandekod kanske styrs av direktiv från Finansinspektionen så vill studien belysa att det finns andra motiv bakom ban-kens uppförandekod. Syftet med studien är att studera vilka olika motiv en bank har att upprätta en uppförandekod. Studien försöker även bidra med en ökad förståelse för uppförandekoder och visa på vilka effekter en uppförandekod kan ha för banker. För att studien ska kunna hitta de olika motiven så har de fyra storbankerna i Sverige valts ut som studieobjekt, där deras respektive uppförandekoder har legat till grund för undersökningen.Studien är en kvalitativ undersökning med ett abduktivt förhållningssätt. Studien har en undersökande förhållning och ett förklarande syfte. Den empiriska grunden utgörs av en dokumentstudie på de fyra storbankernas skriftliga uppförandekod. Utöver detta så har studien kompletterats med intervjuer och tidigare forskning som genom-förts inom ämnet.I undersökningen analyseras och sammanfattas olika motiv i en förklarande bild där de olika motiven har olika karaktär. Studien kommer fram till att det finns flera mo-tiv bakom en uppförandekod. Dels tvingande motiv, och dels motiv som ger banken positiva effekter. Tvingande motiv kan exempelvis vara lagar och regler. De positiva effekterna av en uppförandekod kan ses både ur ett externt och ur ett internt perspek-tiv för en bank. Ett motiv med att förmedla uppförandekoden externt kan exempelvis vara att det stärker det egna varumärket eller ökat förtroendet från sina intressenter. Genom att upprätta en uppförandekod kan en bank även påverkas internt då uppfö-randekoden medför en stärkande identitet för banken, men den kan även fungera som en styrning för medarbetare då riktlinjer presenteras.CSR is about corporate social responsibility in the community they serve. As a step to take responsibility, a company establishes a Code of Conduct that aims to convey how it takes responsibility and actions in different situations. One industry that has significantly increased its CSR work is the banking industry.Banks must follow the laws and rules from the authority, therefore, they establish a Code of Conduct. The purpose of this study is to see the effects of what a code of conduct can provide to a bank in addition to following the directive given by the au-thority e.g. One of the motives of a bank is to establish a code of conduct. This study will also contribute to a deeper understanding of the Codes of Conduct. To see their motives, we selected the four major banks in Sweden as subjects of the study as well as looking through their respective Codes of Conduct as basis for this investigation.The study concludes that there are several motives behind having a Code of Conduct. Foremost, companies are required by the authority to have a Code of Conduct. Also, companies gain several advantages in having a Code of Conduct. The study provides external and internal advantages for a company in drawing a Code of Conduct

Full textAbstract:
Syftet med uppsatsen är att visa på likheten mellan Dan Browns The Da Vinci Code och sagans struktur, aktörer och handling, samt att påvisa romanens didaktiska möjligheter. Utifrån Vladimir Propps sagoteori och Northrop Fryes arketyper och historiska kategorisering samt ett studium av populärromanens likheter med sagan utifrån Ulla Lundqvists undersökning görs en strukturalistisk analys. Vidare har en mindre enkätundersökning gjorts för att skapa en uppfattning om hur en grupp elever på en gymnasieskolan uppfattat romanens didaktiska möjligheter. Resultatet visar att The Da Vinci Code innehåller sagans struktur, med endast några få avvikelser från den kronologiska ordningen, samt att romanens aktörer överrensstämmer med Propps teori och Fryes arketyper. Handlingen uppvisar tydliga inslag från sagan, och överrensstämmer med de sagoelement som Lundqvists undersökning visar, så som exempelvis dualism, magi, i överförd bemärkelse, och ett lyckligt slut. Den didaktiska undersökningen visar att eleverna uppfattar att romanen, trots kritiken kring dess fiktion, kan bidra till att ge kunskaper i ämnen som historia, religion och språk.

Full textAbstract:
L'informatica è al giorno d'oggi al centro di un incredibile sviluppo e tumulto innovativo; è la scienza che coniuga ogni sviluppo tecnologico, il quale
inevitabilmente, d'ora in poi, verrà in qualche modo condizionato dalle innovazioni di tale disciplina.
Fra gli innumerevoli nuovi trend che si sono affacciati prepotentemente negli ultimi anni sul panorama informatico, il paradigma per la programmazione ad agenti è uno dei più interessanti, in accordo con i recenti e prossimi sviluppi della tecnologia in generale.
Questa tesi tratterà tale argomento partendo da un punto di vista generico ed introduttivo volutamente esaustivo, per poi concentrarsi su una specifica tecnologia implementativa, ovvero il linguaggio Jason, mostrandola infine nella pratica con la presentazione di un'applicazione nel capitolo tre.

Os elementos de código geralmente mudam ao longo da evolução do sistema, o que implica em uma eventual degradação estrutural do código fonte. Sintomas recorrentes de tal degradação são chamados anomalias de código. Estudos sugerem que quanto mais anomalias de código afetam um sistema, mais alta se torna a propensão a bugs dos elementos de código. Para lidar com tal degradação da qualidade estrutural do código, desenvolvedores geralmente aplicam refatorações no código fonte. No entanto, aplicar refatorações pode não ser suficiente para reduzir a propensão a bugs dos elementos de código degradados. Um estudo recente sugere que refatorações induzem bugs frequentemente. No entanto, os autores não analisam se o código refatorado está, de fato, diretamente relacionado à introdução de bugs. Com isso, nesta dissertação, realizamos dois estudos longitudinais de múltiplos projetos para avaliar a propensão a bugs do código refatorado. Nossa metodologia teve como objetivo abordar várias limitações de estudos anteriores. Por exemplo, definimos duas propriedades complementares da propensão a bugs do código refatorado, sendo elas, frequência e distância. Enquanto a primeira propriedade quantifica a frequência com que um código refatorado está relacionado a bugs que emergiram no código fonte, a distância quantifica o quão próximo um bug surge depois que uma refatoração é aplicada. Nosso primeiro estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a propensão a bugs de refatorações isoladas. Primeiro, nossos resultados mostram que 80 porcento dos elementos degradados que se tornaram bugs não foram previamente refatorados. Este resultado implica que um código refatorado é menos propenso a bugs do que um código não refatorado. Em segundo lugar, em 75 porcento das vezes um bug surge depois de 7 mudanças feitas a partir da operação de refatoração, o que geralmente corresponde à 3 meses nos projetos analisados. Nosso segundo estudo tem como objetivo avaliar a propensão a bugs de refatorações em lote, ou seja, refatorações aplicadas em sequência. Nossos resultados mostram que, na maioria dos casos, o código refatorado em lotes é mais resiliente à introdução de bugs do que o código refatorado por meio de refatorações isoladas.
Programs often change along the system evolution, which implies an eventual code structure degradation. Recurring symptoms of such degradation are code smells. Studies suggest that the more frequently code smells affect a system, the higher becomes the bug-proneness of the code elements. To tackle code structural quality degradation, developers often apply refactorings on smelly program elements. However, applying refactorings might not suffice to reduce the bug-proneness of such degraded program elements. Previous empirical studies do not systematically analyze the bug-proneness of refactored code. Even though a recent study suggests that refactoring induces bugs frequently, the authors do not analyze to what extent refactored code is indeed closely related to the bug occurrence. Thus, in this dissertation, we conducted two longitudinal multi-project studies to assess the bugproneness of refactored code. Our methodology aimed to address various limitations of previous studies. For instance, we have defined two complementary properties of the bug-proneness of refactored code, i.e., frequency and distance. While the former quantifies how often a refactored code is related to emerging bugs, the latter quantifies how close a bug emerges after a refactoring has been applied. The quantitative analysis of such properties was complemented by a manual analysis of refactorings closely related to the bug occurrence. Our first study aims at assessing the bug-proneness of code refactored through isolated refactorings, i.e., a single refactoring operation not performed in conjunction with other refactoring operations. This study reveals that 80 per cent of the smelly elements that became buggy were not previously refactored. This result suggests the refactored code is much less bug-prone than non-refactored code. Moreover, in 75 per cent of the times, a bug emerges in 7 changes far from the refactoring operation; this amount of changes usually corresponds to 3 months in the analyzed projects. Our second study aims at assessing the bug-proneness of code elements refactored through batch refactorings, i.e., a sequence of inter-related refactoring operations. Our results show that code refactored through batches is often more resilient to the introduction of bugs as compared to code refactored through isolated refactorings.
