Lichen sclerosus Mistaken for Sexual Abuse – Prevention of Victimization
2014
This case report describes the forensic examination of 7 girls aged between 4-11 years with suspected sexual abuse. The children had been reported by local pediatricians, hospital physicians or authorities such as the youth welfare office and police due to mucosal changes in the anogenital area. All children presented with a clearly delimited, porcelain-like white discoloration of the skin in the anal and genital area with atrophic conversion to parchment-like skin. The markedly vulnerable skin exhibited very different manifestations of hemorrhagic dermal and mucosal defects in the area of the labia, the clitoris, the perineum and the perianal region. The hymen was intact in all cases. The …
Unfolding the relationship between resilient firms and the region
2017
ABSTRACTThis research explores organizational resilience in four manufacturing firms in four different regions of Norway. While regional resilience has gained attention in research, there have been few studies with a micro-level focus, investigating firms and their distinctive features of resilience. We chose a qualitative multiple-case study approach and employed a critical incident technique to study resilience in selected firms that had experienced external shocks and shifts in regard to changing markets, globalization and advances in technology. Each, however, had managed to continually develop resilience capacity over time. Our framework considered three dimensions of organizational re…
Spectral Characteristics of Native Defects in BN
2002
Spectral characteristics of native defects from the crystalline lattice of c-BN were studied. It is found that the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum under exposure to ultraviolet-blue light has a complex structure containing a predominant wide 2.5 eV luminescence band at room temperature. The photostimulated luminescence (PSL) consists of a band, which is coincident with the 2.5 eV PL. The results obtained allow to conclude that the same defects are responsible for both the PL and PSL formation.
Vispārīgā datu un drošības regula un incidentu identificēšana
2018
Personas privātums ir jāsaglabā neatkarīgi no atrašanās fiziskā telpā vai virtuālā vidē. Tā kā mūsdienu pasaule kļūst arvien digitalizētāka, palielinās mūsu atkarība no tehnoloģijām, tas pats notiek ar datiem un informāciju, kas tiek atstāta uz katra soļa kibertelpā. Privātums un datu aizsardzība vienmēr ir bijusi Eiropas Savienības prioritāte, tādēļ tagad Eiropas Komisija ir ieviesusi Vispārīgo datu aizsardzības regulu (GDPR), kas aizstās līdz šim esošo un jau novecojušo Datu aizsardzības direktīvu 95/46/ EC. Darba tēma šobrīd ir īpaši aktuāla, jo likumīgi regula stājas spēkā 2018. gada 25. maijā, ir noteikts stingrāks datu drošības režīms un stingras sankcijas par tā neievērošanu. Ilgterm…
Datordrošības automatizācija ar incidentu reaģēšanas platformām, izmantojot atvērtā koda rīkus
2017
Datordrošības incidentu novēršana joprojām ir lielākoties manuāls process. Daļa no manuālajiem uzdevumiem ir ļoti ikdienišķi un pat administrēšanas uzdevumi. Viens no datordrošības produktiem, kas tiecas palielināt speciālistu efektivitāti un piedāvā lielu funkcionalitāti reaģēšanai uz incidentiem, ir incidentu reaģēšanas platformas. Šajā darbā tiek apskatītas komerciālās incidentu reaģēšanas platformas un trīs alternatīvas starp atvērtā koda rīkiem – The Hive, SCOT un Cyphon. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai ar atvērtā koda rīkiem ir iespējams izveidot alternatīvu komerciālajām incidentu reaģēšanas platformām. Testējot atvērtā koda incidentu reaģēšanas platformas, tajās atklājās vairākas pr…
A hierarchy of simplified constitutive models within isotropic strain gradient elasticity
2017
Abstract Simplified isotropic models of strain gradient elasticity are presented, based on the mutual relationship between the inherent (dual) gradient directions (i.e. the gradient direction of any strain gradient source and the lever arm direction of the promoted double stress). A class of gradient-symmetric materials featured by gradient directions obeying a reciprocity relation and by 4 independent h.o. (higher order) coefficients is envisioned, along with the sub-classes of hemi-collinear materials (3 h.o. coefficients, gradient directions in part coincident), collinear materials (2 h.o. coefficients, equal gradient directions) and micro-affine materials (1 h.o. coefficient, behavioral…
Visible light apparatus for preliminary tests of x-ray optics
2006
We report a useful visible light testing procedure for a first analysis of soft X-ray grazing incidence optics (0.1-2 keV). Although diffraction is a limit in the application of this method, great advantages are obtained by running the tests in air with direct access to modify the geometrical mounting of the individual mirror shells. We present the experimental apparatus and show the first results of the investigation of light weight optics based on plastic foil material and comparison with results obtained with an X-ray beam.
The effect of explicit knowledge on sequence learning: A graded account
2004
In this paper, we study the effect of conscious knowledge on implicit sequence learning. To do so, in three sequence learning experiments, we manipulated (1) the extent to which instructions were intentional vs. incidental - intentional participants were informed of the existence of sequential regularities, and (2) the amount of explicit knowledge given to participants about the stimulus material. Results indicated that explicit knowledge improves sequence learning, as indexed by an increase in reaction times when the training sequence is unexpectedly replaced by another one. To enable us to differentiate between implicit and explicit learning, we applied the process dissociation procedure …
A multi-agent system for managing adverse weather situations on the road network
2010
The development of traffic management and control strategies to improve traffic flows and road safety is necessary due to the high dynamism of traffic flows. The use of distributed intelligent systems can help the traffic organizations and the road operators to cope with possible incidents on the road network, especially when the incidents are related to adverse meteorological conditions. In that case, the probability of road accidents is increased due to the difficulty of driving under bad weather conditions. So, if the operators detect any meteorological incident, they must decide how to deal with it in order to improve traffic safety. In this paper we introduce a new multiagent system (M…
