Ant colony optimisation for planning safe escape routes
2013
Published version of a chapter from the volume: Recent Trends in Applied Artificial Intelligence. Also available on SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-38577-3_6 An emergency requiring evacuation is a chaotic event filled with uncertainties both for the people affected and rescuers. The evacuees are often left to themselves for navigation to the escape area. The chaotic situation increases when a predefined escape route is blocked by a hazard, and there is a need to re-think which escape route is safest. This paper addresses automatically finding the safest escape route in emergency situations in large buildings or ships with imperfect knowledge of the hazards. The proposed so…
Strategic cyber threat intelligence : Building the situational picture with emerging technologies
2020
In 2019, e-criminals adopted new tactics to demand enormous ransoms from large organizations by using ransomware, a phenomenon known as “big game hunting.” Big game hunting is an excellent example of a sophisticated and coordinated modern cyber-attack that has a significant impact on the target. Cyber threat intelligence (CTI) increases the possibilities to detect and prevent cyber-attacks and gives defenders more time to act. CTI is a combination of incident response and traditional intelligence. Intelligence modifies raw data into information for decision-making and action. CTI consists of strategic, operational, or tactical intelligence on cyber threats. Security event monitoring, event-…
Cyber World as a Social System
2015
The increasing applying of information and communication technology is transforming the society into an unknown ground of the continuously evolving cyber world. This challenges the actors of the society and has increased complexity. The purpose of this chapter is to form a hypothesis about how to identify patterns i.e., emergent phenomena about the cyber world for developing security in the society. The cyber world is considered as a complex adaptive system. A system modelling approach to complex adaptive systems is briefly outlined and a social system model of a society is introduced as a content analysis method to complex adaptive systems. The model is populated with a small set of empiri…
RELATIONSHIP MARKETING ON THE INTERNET: BUILDING A LONG-TERM RELATIONSHIP WITH CUSTOMERS
2018
The purpose of the study is to find out the main approaches to the relationship marketing on the internet that could help companies to build a long-term relationship with their customers. Principal objectives are to find and analyse scientific literature on the topic; with statistical and empirical analysis to find out the main differences between relationship marketing in the traditional and internet dimension. The research methods of the paper are scientific literature theoretical analysis, statistical and empirical data analysis. The results of the research are both theoretical and practical. Using results companies will be able to share their customers seeing at what stage they are loca…
Job Insecurity in Nursing: A Bibliometric Analysis
2021
Nurses are a key workforce in the international health system, and as such maintaining optimal working conditions is critical for preserving their well-being and good performance. One of the psychosocial risks that can have a major impact on them is job insecurity. This study aimed to carry out a bibliometric analysis, mapping job insecurity in 128 articles in nursing, and to determine the most important findings in the literature. The search was conducted in the Web of Science Core Collection database using the Science Citation Index (SCI)-Expanded and Social Sciences Citation Index (SSCI) indexes on 6 March 2020. This field of discipline has recently been established and has experienced s…
Job insecurity and sickness absence: Correlations between attrition and absence in 36 occupational groups
2012
Aims: To investigate how job insecurity, as indicated by attrition rates out of employment, affects sickness absence among remaining workers. Methods: A longitudinal analysis investigated how the percentage of workers absent due to sickness was affected by attrition out of employment in Norwegian Labour Force Surveys from 1997 to 2005, between 31 quarterly observations at the level of 36 occupational groups. Results: Rising attrition is associated with more sickness absence. Conclusions: Previous research has argued that job insecurity can lead to more absence because of a stressor effect as well as to less absence because of a disciplinary effect. This research indicates that the stressor…
What shapes Norwegian wind power policy? Analysing the constructing forces of policymaking and emerging questions of energy justice
2021
Abstract This paper employs an assemblage theoretical approach to analyse how Norwegian land-based wind power policies are constructed over time and what forces dominate and resist wind power policy development. The entanglement of policies, technology deployment and (lack of) social acceptance emphasizes the need to critically question what and who influence the construction of energy transition policies and how and what concerns are left out, especially in relation to the tenets of energy justice. We find that wind power policies are primarily influenced by energy authorities, developers and interest organizations, furthering arguments of climate concerns, energy security and economic opp…
ES enerģijas politika un Turcijas loma energoapgādes drošības kontekstā.
2015
Ņemot vērā vietējo energoresursu trūkumu, ES ir bijusi enerģijas importētājas pozīcijā jau kopš tās dibināšanas. Lai gan energoapgādes drošība galvenokārt ir bijusi ES darba kārtībā, tikai nesen ir veikti stingri drošības pasākumi. Konflikts starp Ukrainu un Krieviju sākās 2013. gadā un parāda, cik steidzama un stingra rīcība ir nepieciešama, lai tiktu nodrošināta droša energoapgāde. Saistībā ar iepriekš minēto, enerģijas piegāžu diversifikācija ieņem ļoti īpašu lomu dalībvalstu dienaskārtībā kopā ar to uzticamo sabiedroto - Turciju. Šī pētījuma mērķis ir izskaidrot kā ES enerģētiskā atkarība ir mainījusies laika gaitā, analizēt esošos energoapgādes drošības pasākumus un pierādīt Turcijas l…
Designing a Specialized Devices for Correction of the Axis Deviation at the Human Leg
2013
The presented article is an original contribution which implies the design of a specialized device for high tybial osteotomy (HTO) optimization. In the papers are presented the sources that imply HTO, the axial deviations of the human lower member from the correct position. This sources are the gonarthosys owed to the usage of the knees cartilages or owed to some diseases (such as the Blount disease) and the vicious consolidated fractures. After presenting the needs to realize such a specialized device for HTO, the principal requests the device shall fulfill are underlined. Starting from these , two sub ensembles were projected, one for the tibial positioning and for the execution of the ho…
