Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence is now available on Spotify. Hail the digital gods! Don't have spotify? You can listen to my favourite song off the new Lana Del Rey album below!
Yep the new album from Lana Del Rey Ultraviolence is now available on music master app Spotify. I'm not sure about rdio yet because I'm a pretty big fan of Spotify.
If you're not sure what it is it's an app that you download to your computer, phone or tablet that allows you to listen to any music (well most anyway, not sure how big their folk Finnish metal collection is!) on you computer, phone or tablet for $12 a month (there's a free version but it has ads and play time limits). This means all the music in the world available at my fingertips and no space taken up on my computer with tonnes of music files.
Lana Del Rey's new album Ultraviolence has just been added to the Spotify library and so far, so Lana. Loving Florida Kilos and Brooklyn Baby but not really rating the title track from Ultraviolence so far.
Have you listened to any of the album yet? What're your thoughts?

By changing mouse genes to block a protein associated with obesity, researchers at the Kennedy Institute of Rheumatology, NDORMS have prevented fat from forming around the animals' internal organs, even when the animals eat an unhealthy diet. The study in Nature Medicine found that these genetically engineered mice also retained their sensitivity to insulin (normally blunted by obesity), despite gaining weight.
Visceral fat deposits around internal organs in the stomach are particularly harmful: they are associated with insulin resistance, type-2 diabetes and heart disease. The study, conducted in close collaboration with researchers at the at the French Institute of Health and Medical research (INSERM) in Paris, shows that changing the pattern of fat deposition from around the stomach to under the skin starts a chain of events which result in insulin sensitivity being maintained, reducing the chances of type-2 diabetes.
Scientists already know that visceral fat attracts special M1-type macrophages (immune cells that attack infections and damaged cells). These M1-type macrophages produce harmful proteins that promote insulin resistance. 'We've previously found that a protein called interferon regulatory factor-5 (IRF-5) seems to push macrophages to change from a more 'peaceful', M2-type to the more aggressive M1-type', said Professor Irina Udalova at the Kennedy Institute, 'so we wondered if 'deleting' IRF-5 might have a beneficial effect'.
To test this idea, the two research teams fed the mice that were lacking the gene coding for IRF-5 with a healthy diet or a high-fat one. The mice with genetic changes were no different from standard lab mice when both the groups ate the healthy diet. Both groups of mice gained weight when they ate the high-fat diet. However, the mice with the altered gene piled on the fat under the skin, rather than around the internal organs in their stomach. The size of the fat cells in the stomach was also smaller in these mice, because there was more collagen (a 'scaffolding' protein that provides the structure for many parts of the body) deposits, holding the fat cells in.
'The mice without IRF-5 still got fat, but what was different was where they deposited this fat. We know that people who put on fat around their belly have a higher risk of developing obesity-related illnesses such as type-2 diabetes, compared to people who put on weight around their thighs. But we can't change the pattern of fat deposition in people, which we can now do in these mice. So this turned out to be an excellent way of testing if changing the pattern of fat deposition actually changes the factors that lead to type-2 diabetes', said Professor Udalova.
The researchers tested this idea by giving the mice a very sweet drink, containing glucose. They then tracked how quickly the glucose was broken down by insulin. Obesity can make the body less sensitive to insulin, which means that it takes longer for the glucose to disappear from the blood stream. This loss of sensitivity can eventually lead to type-2 diabetes. Despite being fatter, the mice without IRF-5 did better than the standard mice on this glucose challenge test.

As employee waistlines grow, so should the focus on workplace health.
Often when we think about obesity, we think of the more "obvious" and generally more physical symptoms. It's probably because we can see these clearly and how much of an impact they can have.

This study seeks to explain and understand the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) newlinein world politics. The Treaty was signed in 1961 and entered into force in 1970. Since newlinethen, the NPT evolved into the global non-proliferation regime consisting of about 190 newlinemember-states by the beginning of this century. The Treaty set three objectives: (1) newlinenuclear non-proliferation, (2) nuclear arms control and disarmament, and (3) civilian newlinenuclear cooperation. newlineOn the one hand, it is widely regarded that the NPT is the most successful case of an newlineintemational security regime, and an indispensable foundation of the nuclear nonproliferation newlineregime and intemational arms control and disarmament efforts. It is difficult newlineto deny the positive role of the NPT to stop (reverse or delay) nuclear proliferation, and newlineits contribution to intemational security as a whole. On the other hand, the Treaty has newlinebeen intensively criticized for its discriminative nature and function at the NPT Review newlineConference since the 1970s. Non-Nuclear Weapon States, together with India, criticizes newlinethat five Nuclear-Weapon States especially the US and Russia do not make progress in newlinetheir nuclear arms control and disaHl1ament obligations. Although the 1995 NPT REC newlinesuccessfully decided its indcfinite extension, the NPT-based non-proliferation regime has newlinebeen increasingly facing problems and losing legitimacy and trust to deal with further and newlinenew proliferation challenge today . newline newlineThis study analyzes the NPT to seek answers to the questions about (1) its evolution and newlinedynamics, (2) its role and function, and (3) its meaning and relationship to the newlinefundamental dilemma of order versus justice in world politics. For this purpose, this newlineresearch uses three IR theories (Reaiism, Liberalism, and Grotianl Intemational Society newlinetheory). Based on theoretical and phiiosophical pluralism, comparative theoretical newlineperspectives/approaches shed light on various aspects and meanings of the subject issue.

Este trabalho aborda o Problema da Mochila Compartimentada que é uma variação do clássico problema da mochila e pode ser enunciado considerando-se a seguinte situação hipotética: um alpinista deve carregar sua mochila com possíveis itens de seu interesse. A cada item atribui-se o seu peso e um valor de utilidade (até aqui, o problema coincide com o clássico Problema da Mochila). Entretanto, os itens são de agrupamentos distintos (alimentos, medicamentos, utensílios, etc.) e devem estar em compartimentos separados na mochila. Os compartimentos da mochila são flexíveis e têm capacidades limitadas. A inclusão de um compartimento tem um custo fixo que depende do agrupamento com que foi preenchido, além de introduzir uma perda da capacidade da mochila. O problema consiste em determinar as capacidades adequadas de cada compartimento e como esses devem ser carregados, maximizando o valor de utilidade total, descontado o custo de incluir compartimentos. Neste trabalho propomos um modelo de otimização não linear inteiro para o problema e algumas heurísticas para sua resolução, para as quais apresentamos os resultados computacionais obtidos. Uma aplicação prática que surge no corte de bobinas de aço, sujeito à laminação é detalhada.
This work approaches the Compartmentalized Knapsack Problem which is a variation of the classical knapsack problem and it can be stated as the following hypothetical situation: a climber must load his/her knapsack with a number of items. Two numbers, an weight and a utility value are given for each item (so far, the problem coincides with the classical integer Knapsack Problem). However, the items are of different classes (food, medicine, utensils, etc.) and they have to be packed in separate compartments inside the knapsack. The compartments are flexible and have limited capacities. Each compartment has a fixed cost that depends on the class of items chosen to load it and, in addition, each new compartment introduces a loss of capacity of the knapsack. The Compartmentalized Knapsack Problem consists of determining suitable capacities of each compartment and how these compartments should be packed. The objective is to maximize a total utility value paid off the cost of the compartments. The problem can be modeled as an integer non-linear optimization problem and we have designed some heuristic methods for its solution, for which we present a computational study. A practical application arises in cutting steel rolls subject to a lamination process.

▼ Recently, the development of non-pneumatic tires (NPT) such as the Michelin Tweel is receiving increased attention due to potential advantages over pneumatic tires such as low mass, no run flat, good contact pressure distribution, and low rolling resistance (RR). This study focuses on the design of a NPT based on properties of vertical stiffness, contact pressure, and rolling energy loss. Using a finite element (FE) model, a parametric study is conducted to study the effect on vertical stiffness, contact pressure, and rolling resistance (RR) response considering three design variables: (1) thickness of the spokes, (2) the shear band thickness, and (3) shear modulus of the shear band and spokes of the NPT. The first two design variables are geometric parameters of the NPT while the third design variable is a material parameter. Using the three design variables, a design of experiments (DOE) is performed to study the effect on RR, contact pressure, and vertical displacement. Results from the DOE are used to create response surface models (RSM) for the objective function (minimal RR) and constraints on vertical deflection and contact pressure. The analytical RSM function is optimized for minimizing the rolling loss subjected to the given constraints. In addition, a design sensitivity study is performed to evaluate the influence of the design variables on the output response. Results indicate that all the design variables have significant effect on RR, with the shear band thickness and shear modulus having the greater effect.

▼ This thesis presents the findings from a detailed study of possible barriers to adoption of Pointof-Care Testing (POCT) within hospital-based healthcare. The issues concerned have been identified and categorised from a systematic review of the published literature over the period 2000-2016. The opinions of clinicians working in the UK have been obtained via face-to-face interviews and an online survey tool using semi-quantitative techniques by way of subsequent analysis. These data have then been compared with the outcomes from interviews with those employed in the US healthcare system. Based on these findings, a more targeted appraisal of the opinions of international Clinical Bioscientists was then undertaken. Overall, the central aim of the work was to categorise and better understand the core issues that have been identified as impeding the clinical uptake of POCT in both the UK and internationally. Importantly, the focus of the work was on how the most significant barriers can be overcome based on this new understanding of the circumstances. There is a clear disconnect between the opinions of those responsible for operating POCT and those responsible for test data quality assurance, i.e. the Clinical Bioscientists, regardless of location. In particular, it was found that this relates mostly to specific quality-related issues, including the complexity of regulatory requirements and control of diagnostic testing. While economic issues were generally found to impact most significantly upon POCT adoption, it is indicated that the role of the medical insurer within the US healthcare system acts as an additional hurdle as compared to the situation in the UK (NHS). Based on the research findings described herein a number of recommendations are made for overcoming the various barriers to POCT adoption in hospital-based healthcare, including; development of a sufficient evidence base for the clinical/economic benefits; development of regional procurement strategies; improved connectivity to the patient record systems; improved training processes; increased central laboratory service support, and; improved quality assurance processes.

▼ This thesis presents Monte Carlo methods for simulations of phase behaviors of Lennard-Jones fluids. The isobaric-isothermal (NPT) ensemble and Gibbs-NPT ensemble are introduced in detail. NPT ensemble is employed to determine the phase diagram of pure component. The reduced simulation results are verified by comparison with the equation of state by by Johnson et al. and results with L-J parameters of methane agree considerably with the experiment measurements. We adopt the blocking method for variance estimation and error analysis of the simulation results. The relationship between variance and number of Monte Carlo cycles, error propagation and Random Number Generator performance are also investigated. We review the Gibbs-NPT ensemble employed for phase equilibrium of binary mixture. The phase equilibrium is achieved by performing three types of trial move: particle displacement, volume rearrangement and particle transfer. The simulation models and the simulation details are introduced. The simulation results of phase coexistence for methane and ethane are reported with comparison of the experimental data. Good agreement is found for a wide range of pressures. The contribution of this thesis work lies in the study of the error analysis with respect to the Monte Carlo cycles and number of particles in some interesting aspects.

▼ During drilling operation, cuttings are produced downhole and must be removed to avoid issues which can lead to Non Productive Time (NPT). Most of stuck pipe and then Bottom-Hole Assembly (BHA) lost events are hole cleaned related. There are many parameters which help determine hole cleaning conditions, but a proper selection of the key parameters will facilitate monitoring hole cleaning conditions and interventions. The aim of Hole Cleaning Monitoring is to keep track of borehole conditions including hole cleaning efficiency and wellbore stability issues during drilling operations. Adequate hole cleaning is the one of the main concerns in the underbalanced drilling operations especially for directional and horizontal wells. This dissertation addresses some hole cleaning fundamentals which will act as the basis for recommendation practice during drilling operations. Understand how parameters such as Flowrate, Rotation per Minute (RPM), Rate of Penetration (ROP) and Mud Weight are useful to improve the hole cleaning performance and how Equivalent Circulate Density (ECD), Torque & Drag (T&D) and Cuttings Volumes coming from downhole help to indicate how clean and stable the well is. For case study, hole cleaning performance or cuttings volume removal monitoring, will be based on real-time measurements of the cuttings volume removal from downhole at certain time, taking into account Flowrate, RPM, ROP and Drilling fluid or Mud properties, and then will be plotted and compared to the volume being drilled expected. ECD monitoring will dictate hole stability conditions and T&D and Cuttings Volume coming from downhole monitoring will dictate how clean the well is. T&D Modeling Software provide theoretical calculated T&D trends which will be plotted and compared to the real-time measurements. It will use the measured hookloads to perform a back-calculation of friction factors along the wellbore. Advisors/Committee Members: Almeida, José António de, Manuel, Mário.

▼ This thesis draws attention to the role of international law and norms in constituting different normative categories of membership in international society. Particular attention is paid to the notion of state crime, which can be seen to underlie the practice of international norm-enforcement and which is in tension with the traditional understanding of sovereignty. This tension is highlighted in contemporary international society, which is increasingly defined by the principles of universality and the rule of law. The politics and potential problems of normative boundary-drawing are viewed in light of the English School theory of International Relations. The theoretical framework allows the identification of certain criteria for assessing the appropriateness of international norm-enforcement in a given case. The research question is concerned with the extent to which such criteria are met in case of the UN Security Council sanctions on Iran, and the implications of this for the future strategy in the Iranian nuclear issue, and also for the non-proliferation regime and international society more generally. The research material consists mainly of speeches held by UN Security Council members and Iran in 2006—2009, which are interpreted hermeneutically, based on the theoretical framework and the background discussion. A key finding is that the punitive approach in the Iranian nuclear issue has not only been unsuccessful in promoting non-proliferation, but it has also intensified the underlying political conflicts and created obstacles for finding a compromise solution. It is argued that a clarification of goals and conflict management approach is needed to deal with the dispute. This, however, requires a paradigm shift on two levels: on the one hand, the US and Iran should overcome enmity in their bilateral relations, and on the other hand, the demands and assumptions behind the UN Security Council and other sanctions should be reconsidered. More specifically, a new approach requires moving away from the analogy of crime and policing to a more symmetrical notion of dispute settlement among states. The Iranian case shows that non-proliferation cannot be achieved only through governance and coercion, especially in cases where the legal process of norm-enforcement disguises an escalating political conflict. What is needed instead is conciliatory diplomacy and impartial recognition of security dilemmas, which can be extremely difficult in a situation where the legitimacy of the potential proliferator has been questioned through normative exclusion.; Väitöskirja käsittelee normeihin perustuvaa ulossulkemista kansainvälisessä politiikassa. Se kiinnittää huomiota siihen, että normit eivät ainoastaan luo järjestystä asettaen rajoja valtioiden toiminnalle, vaan ne myös määrittävät jäsenyyttä ja ulkopuolisuutta kansainvälisessä yhteisössä.

▼ Nuclear weapons are seemingly permanent fixtures in international relations. Although nuclear abolitionists and actors within the Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) have taken significant steps towards designing a world without nuclear weapons, the longstanding realist logic that suggests nuclear disarmament is nonviable has born more fruit. On the other hand, some proponents of realism have suggested global nuclear disarmament is feasible, given that certain international instabilities are stabilized and that special care is taken during diplomatic negotiations. This presents an opportunity to test these predictions using fuzzy cognitive mapping, a computational modeling technique that identifies problems, their stakeholders, and stakeholders' components in order to determine scenarios that solve complex disputes in ways that benefit the system as a whole. This study identifies two problems regarding nuclear disarmament. First, nuclear weapon states are resistant to giving up nuclear weapons, despite agreements to disarm. This problem follows realist logic. Second, the role that the IAEA plays in safeguarding special nuclear materials while guaranteeing states' rights to nuclear technology is contrasted by states' interest in maintaining levels of secrecy. These two problems constitute a "mess" that this study analyzes. Synthesis between the problems requires that solving one does not make the other worse. Therefore, this study tests various scenarios and finds that, given present-day international instabilities are stabilized, nuclear disarmament is feasible if three conditions are met: First, a global disarmament agreement must not unreasonably affect states' sovereign rights outside of the agreement. Second, states outlying the NPT must be brought into the negotiations. Finally, present states with nuclear arsenals adopt the IAEA's Comprehensive Safeguards Agreement with the Additional Protocol as a measure of good faith. A final factor suggests states' rights to the technology inevitably means states should have an ability to re-proliferate in the event of future international instability that threatens global security. Once these steps are taken and technological rights guaranteed, this model suggests global nuclear disarmament is possible. Advisors/Committee Members: Jesse Richman, Regina Karp, Patrick Hester.

▼ Objective: The promotion of self-management support for people with LTCs is a health policy priority across the UK (LTCAS 2008; DoH 2012). Self-management support is designed to change and improve care for people with LTCs, who form an increasing proportion of the population requiring healthcare and treatment. For health organisations models of care, which support self-management, require greater emphasis on person-focused rather than disease-focused manifestations of health and represents a new model of care delivery requiring changes in practice. Current research demonstrates that health policies are increasingly complex, involve multiple organisations and often fail to translate into effective practice (Noyles et al. 2014). The deficit between what works and what happens in practice is referred to as the "implementation deficit" (Pressman and Wildasky 1984) and traditionally it has been difficult to breakaway from the idea that the policy process is best viewed from the top-down (Barett and Fudge 1981). However, there remains a need to understand the processes of implementation, which takes account of the variation, the multiple layers and interactions which takes place between policy-maker and -implementer as policy becomes practice (Hupe 2011). Implementation of self-management is a contemporary focus in UK health policy and this thesis explains what processes are used to implement self-management policy for people with LTCs into everyday practice in one health board. Methods: A case study approach was used to investigate the policy process with data collected using thirty-one semi-structured interviews with policy-makers and regional and local policy-implementers plus eight hours of observation of national and regional policy meetings. To provide context to the implementation process data also included thirteen policy documents. Data analysis used the retrospective application of NPT as a theoretical framework with which to explore the implementation processes. NPT is an emerging theory that is being promoted as a means of understanding implementation, embedding and integration of new ideas in healthcare (McEvoy et al. 2014). The application of NPT focuses on four mechanisms, termed work (May and Finch 2009: 547), which promote incorporation of new ideas in practice. These areas of work are coherence, cognitive participation, collective action and reflexive monitoring (Mair et al. 2012). Findings: The findings suggest that there are a number of important influences operating behind or as part of the policy implementation process. These included the need for a shared understanding, getting stakeholders involved to drive forward policy, work promoting collaboration and participation was the most detailed and important in the process of policy implementation; the course of policy was affected by factors which facilitated or inhibited stakeholders acceptance of self-management; and NPT fosters key analytical insights. Conclusion: Understanding the process of policy implementation in healthcare…

[pt] Um sistema de TV Digital (TVD) é definido por um conjunto de especificações que determinam as tecnologias envolvidas na codificação, transmissão, recepção e apresentação de conteúdos, incluindo a especificação da aplicação (programa não-linear), seus vários objetos de mídia e metadados relacionados. Nesse cenário, o suporte a aplicações é realizado por uma camada intermediária de software, ou middleware, posicionada, no ambiente de recepção, entre o código das aplicações e a infra-estrutura de execução (plataforma de hardware e sistema operacional). O projeto e implementação de um middleware para receptores de sistemas de TVD trazem uma série de desafios. Entre eles estão: a eficiência na utilização de recursos, usualmente escassos no dispositivo receptor; o suporte à evolução dinâmica das funcionalidades do middleware; o suporte à recuperação de falhas em tempo de execução; os mecanismos para gerência de localização de recursos, permitindo o uso da mesma sintaxe de autoria em ambientes distintos de recepção; o suporte a edição ao vivo de programas não lineares, ou seja, das aplicações; a definição de uma infra-estrutura de transporte assíncrono de aplicações interativas e comandos de controle e; o controle do ciclo de vida das aplicações interativas, permitindo que aplicações possam ser iniciadas, pausadas e retomadas em qualquer ponto de sua duração, sem perder o histórico de sua evolução. As soluções da maioria dessas questões presentes nos sistemas existentes apresentam algumas limitações importantes, e em alguns casos nem mesmo existem, sendo o problema apenas contornado. O presente trabalho propõe soluções alternativas para as questões levantadas, e as incorpora na especificação do middleware declarativo Ginga-NCL e em sua implementação de referência. O middleware Ginga-NCL e sua linguagem declarativa NCL foram adotados pelo SBTVD-T em 2007. No início de 2009, Ginga-NCL e NCL se tornaram parte dos padrões ISDB-TB e parte da recomendação ITU-R BT 1699. Ainda no início de 2009, Ginga-NCL e NCL tornaram-se a Recomendação ITU-T H.761 para serviços IPTV.

▼ In this study, an efficient coupling between Monte Carlo (MC) molecular simulation and Darcy-scale flow in porous media is presented. The cell-centered finite difference method with a non-uniform rectangular mesh were used to discretize the simulation domain and solve the governing equations. To speed up the MC simulations, we implemented a recently developed scheme that quickly generates MC Markov chains out of pre-computed ones, based on the reweighting and reconstruction algorithm. This method astonishingly reduces the required computational time by MC simulations from hours to seconds. In addition, the reweighting and reconstruction scheme, which was originally designed to work with the LJ potential model, is extended to work with a potential model that accounts for the molecular quadrupole moment of fluids with non-spherical molecules such as CO2. The potential model was used to simulate the thermodynamic equilibrium properties for single-phase and two-phase systems using the canonical ensemble and the Gibbs ensemble, respectively. Comparing the simulation results with the experimental data showed that the implemented model has an excellent fit outperforming the standard LJ model. To demonstrate the strength of the proposed coupling in terms of computational time efficiency and numerical accuracy in fluid properties, various numerical experiments covering different compressible single-phase flow scenarios were conducted. The novelty in the introduced scheme is in allowing an efficient coupling of the molecular scale and Darcy scale in reservoir simulators. This leads to an accurate description of the thermodynamic behavior of the simulated reservoir fluids; consequently enhancing the confidence in the flow predictions in porous media.

▼ A Nuclear Weapons Free Zone is a concept pre-dating the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), 1968. Five such zones exist today covering more than 50% of the earth's surface. However, one region of the world, the Middle East, has no such agreement. This is in spite of the fact that none of the legitimate Nuclear Weapons States exist within this region and all but two nations are full adherents to the NPT - Israel, which never signed the NPT, and Iran, which has been sanctioned for violations of the safeguards agreement. This work attempts to explain the significance of the dichotomy between these two countries that directly challenge the establishment of such a zone, or restated, the Israel / Iran dynamic as a threat to establishment of a Middle East Nuclear Weapons Free Zone.

▼ The international conflict over Iran's nuclear programme continued for more than two decades before a negotiated settlement was finally reached. This thesis will explain why Iran has proved so resistant to compromise by analysing separate but related factors. Firstly, it will examine the historical roots of today's nuclear co-operation and non-proliferation regime. It will argue that this regime has serious weaknesses and that a better alternative had been available but was rejected in the immediate post-war period. Secondly, it will look at the origins of Iran's hostility to America and Israel, which emerged from a separate dispute with Britain, and which was indirectly related to the political decisions that were taken at the end of the World War II. Thirdly, it will analyse the reaction of international community to Iran's nuclear programme and the rights of states to take unilateral countermeasures under the law of state responsibility. Finally, it will examine the negotiations that have been held between 2002 and 2015 which led to the agreement called the JCPOA. The more general aim of the thesis is to suggest that in conflicts between states which involve their core interests, international law plays a largely instrumental role in helping those states to achieve their political objectives.

▼ In recent years, the multilateral approach to the nuclear fuel cycle has been promoted as a potential mechanism for strengthening the nuclear non-proliferation regime. The multilateral approach has the potential to gain international favour over what has become traditional practice – the indigenous development and control of nuclear facilities. This thesis explores the way in which four states have responded to the revived attention on multilateral approaches to the nuclear fuel cycle, within the framework of the norm life cycle. The varying levels of support reflect broader international opinion on this issue, as many developing states remain concerned that they may be required to forgo not only the "inalienable right" to peaceful nuclear energy, but also the prospective economic and technological benefits of indigenous development in order to participate. However, as the risk of further proliferation and nuclear terrorism comes to the fore of international agendas, facilitating multilateral control of the most sensitive aspects of peaceful nuclear energy may be the key to strengthening the non-proliferation regime in the 21st century.

▼ AbstractIII-essay in political science by Christoffer Harnell, autumn -08. Supervisor: Malin Stegman-McCallion. "Nuclear Disarmament - USA and the Soviet Union 1960-2002" This essay is about USA and the former Soviet Union and their nuclear disarmament. The purpose is to explain why and when the two states begun their nuclear disarmament, as well as what caused the start of the process. The essay investigates how well the two states have followed the NPT-Treaty's article of nuclear disarmament. The article says that the states who have signed the NPT-treaty shall work for an disarmament of their nuclear weapons. The arguments are that a state's nuclear disarmament starts because of a previous action or happening, the new development of a disarmament-theory, the essay aims to proove this.Both the United States of America and the Soviet Union show evidence that they have started their nuclear disarmament after a previous action. USA started their nuclear disarmament in the period 1966-70 because of the former American minister of security Robert McNamara and his U-turn in the aggressive war politic and the former president Nixon and his ambition to lower the heat between USA and the Soviet union by signin the ABM-Treaty. The Soviet Union started their nuclear disarmament many years later in the period of 1986-1987, the cause of this, it is believed, is the nuclear explosion in Chernobyl and the former president of the Soviet Union Michail Gorbatjov's ambitions to end the war in the world and disarm the nuclear weapons, not just between USA and the Soviet Union, but in all states. USA has followed the NPT-Treaty's article of nuclear disarmament well, one reason for this is that, they started the disarmament before they signed the NPT-Treaty in 1968. The Soviet Union, however, has followed the NPT-treatys article of nuclear disarmament less well and did not start their nuclear disarmament until 1986-87, even though they signed up for the NPT-Treaty in 1968. The NPT-Treaty will probably still be relevant in the future for the nuclear disarmament, but how well the world's states will follow it, the future will tell. The nuclear disarmament in this two states has been caused by a previous action and the new developed disarmament-theory is avaliable for further disarmament research.

▼ This book examines causes of the ineffectiveness of donor-promoted public sector reforms in developing countries. It focuses on the problems of incorporating local knowledge in the design and implementation of aid programs, which termed the "Local Knowledge Syndrome" (LKS). The LKS exists when aid policies and programs do not tailor to recipients' unique context and needs, and rely on reform assumptions and formal models imported form select developed countries. It can also exist when aid policies focus exclusively on reforming formal organizations and institutions and neglect informal practices. The quality of knowledge and ideas that inform foreign aid donors can seriously affect the course of aid programs in the public sector, and consequently aid effectiveness. In terms of theoretical contribution, the "LKS" explanation in this book stresses a blind spot in economic analysis of foreign aid ineffectiveness. A major part of this book is a discussion with the leading scholars of the public choice perspective( PCP ,)who argue that aid is harmful to recipient countries .One of PCP's explanations is that the self-interest in donors often works against the altruistic objectives of aid assistance and that this promotes corruption and ineffective of aid interventions .In this study, however, I show, by using the case of Dutch-Yemen development co-operation, that self-interest is only part of the explanation. More important, I argue, is that donors in fragile states often intend to build recipients 'governance systems, but lack the knowledge of how to do that. Helping fragile states becomes increasingly necessary, not just because morality demands it ,but for reasons of global security. Yemen is a "fragile state", It faces plenty of challenges, such as poverty, corruption ,social and political unrest ,and security. It is a spawning ground for global threats like terrorism, drug trafficking, environmental devastation, and disease. The country has received almost US18 $ billion of aid commitments from different donors to develop the capacity of the state and its public sector. However, Yemen has yet to witness improvements in terms of development outcomes with meaningful impact on security and stability . The second explanation of PCP is that a poor policy environment ,such as weak institutions and corruption, is the main cause of shortcoming in foreign aid programs. However, it is not a poor policy environment but poor aid policies that are the main problem. Aid policies are often formulated with a lack of a synthesis, research and institutional analysis, and thus misinterpret the policy environment. This book shows that failure to incorporate Local Knowledge in the design and implementation of development projects is a crucial factor to explain the failure of these projects. I focused on the education sector reform as more than 40% of Dutch foreign aid goes directly to the education sector at all levels. I looked at the Dutch NPT program which includes 14 projects implemented in different higher…

[pt] Os bombardeios nucleares contra Hiroshima e Nagasaki alteraram profundamente o conceito de guerra entre os Estados nacionais. A partir do momento em que os dois cogumelos atômicos espalharam-se as cidades japonesas, a inclusão da ameaça nuclear em conflitos interestatais passou a ser preocupação obrigatória das nações que disputariam áreas de influência diante a Guerra Fria. Estimulada por essa preocupação, a comunidade internacional tomou diversas medidas durante os últimos 50 anos para restringir o uso dos armamentos nucleares. O Tratado de não-Proliferação Nuclear (TNP) foi uma das principais iniciativas para atingir esse fim. Seus artigos determinaram a proibição do desenvolvimento e da aquisição de armamentos nucleares após 1967, além de incentivar o desenvolvimento da tecnologia nuclear civil e o encorajamento do progressivo desarmamento dos Estados.Os acordos firmados no final da década de 60, entretanto, não foram capazes de prever o avanço da tecnologia nuclear. Se o uso pacífico do átomo era permitido em 1968, hoje o desenvolvimento de tecnologias de duplo uso - tais como o enriquecimento de urânio, ainda que para fins pacíficos - não é visto com bons olhos.As dificuldades para verificar a boa-fé do desenvolvimento e do uso dessas tecnologias tornaram a possibilidade de sua proliferação um problema ainda mais temido. O surgimento de programas nucleares clandestinos e, consequentemente, de novos Estados nucleares, além da cada vez mais presente possibilidade de terrorismo nuclear, abalaram a credibilidade do Regime de Não-Proliferação. Para tentar controlar os danos causados por esse problema, diversas reuniões de revisão do TNP vêm tentando preencher as brechas que desafiam o regime.Esta dissertação mostra quais são as principais tensões existentes dentro do regime e como a comunidade internacional e a Agência Internacional de Energia Atômica estão atuando para lidar com essas dificuldades. A análise do artigo IV do TNP parece demonstrar que, se as cláusulas do contrato não forem cumpridas de forma igualitária por todos os Estados-parte, será muito difícil resolver os problemas da não-proliferação.
[en] The nuclear bombings over hiroshima and Nagasaki have deeply changed the concept of war among national States. From the moment the two atomic mushroom clouds spread in the sky over the Japanese cities, the inclusion of the nuclear threat in interstate conflicts has become a mandatory worry to the nations that would struggle for influence areas during the Cold War.Stimulated by these worries, the international community has taken several measures over last 50 years in order to curb the use of nuclear weapons. The Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) has been one of the main initiatives aimed at this purpose. Its articles instituted the proscription of developing and acquiring nuclear weapons after 1967, besides motivating the expasion of civil nuclear technology and heartening the progressive disarmament of states. The agreements signed by the end of the 60s, however, were not able to predict the advance of…

▼ textabstractWith the establishment of Urenco in the Treaty of Almelo (1970), the Netherlands, in collaboration with the Federal Republic of Germany and the United Kingdom, took on the shared responsibility of nonproliferation and export control policies of the proliferation-sensitive gas centrifuge process and its resulting product, enriched uranium. With the use of never-before published sources from Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, this dissertation provides a first comprehensive reconstruction of how the Netherlands and her partners gave substance to this responsibility in the Joint Committee, the international political decision-making organ of the Troika.

Die vorliegende Arbeit wird eine eventuell vorliegende Rechtslücke des Internationalen Rechts im Bereich des Verbots der Nutzung oder Androhung der Nutzung von Nuklearwaffen identifizieren. Um die Rechtmäßigkeit der Nutzung oder der Androhung der Nutzung jener nuklearen Waffen auszuwerten, werden die Effekte jener als Verstoß gegen die relevanten Vorgaben des internationalen humanitärem-, Gewohnheits-, Abrüstungs-, Nichtverbreitungs-, Rüstungskontroll-, Menschenrechts- und Umweltrechts angenommen. Als Fazit stellt sich heraus, dass die Nutzung oder Androhung der Nutzung von Nuklearwaffen niemals mit international gültigem humanitärem Recht vereinbar ist, weshalb diese Arbeit die Theorie der nuklearen Abschreckung darlegt, um zu erklären weshalb diesbezüglich ein Art "Ungehorsam" unter den mit Atomwaffen ausgestatteten Staaten herrscht.
The purpose of this study is to identify whether there is a legal gap in prohibition of use or threat to use nuclear weapons in international law. In order to determine the legality of their use or threat to use, nuclear weapons' effects are assessed against the relevant provisions of international humanitarian, customary, disarmament, non-proliferation, arms control, human rights, environmental law and other relevant sources of international law. Having found that the use or threat to use nuclear weapons cannot possibly comply foremost with the international humanitarian law rules, the thesis employs the theory of nuclear deterrence to explain the nuclear weapons states' "disobedience" and existing world's nuclear arsenals.

Tous les États sans discrimination ont un droit inaliénable de développer les utilisations de l'énergie nucléaire à des fins civiles, à condition de ne pas détourner ces utilisations pacifiques vers des armes nucléaires. Cependant, il est accordé à cinq pays le droit de posséder ces armes, à savoir les États-Unis, la France, la Russie, la Chine et le Royaume-Uni. Autour de cette position, un vif débat à la fois juridique et éthique a été soulevé. En effet, pour ses opposants, le nucléaire représente un risque durable et non maîtrisable par la science. Les accidents nucléaires majeurs, les déchets radioactifs et le détournement du nucléaire à des fins militaires sont des risques ingérables et d"une gravité exceptionnelle. En revanche, les défenseurs de cette énergie la présentent comme sûre, voire partie prenante du développement durable. Selon eux, le nucléaire est un moyen fiable de lutter contre le réchauffement climatique et aussi une solution à la pénurie énergétique à laquelle le monde est confronté. En examinant et analysant la fiabilité et la crédibilité de tous les arguments allant à l"encontre et en faveur de cette industrie, on constate que la licéité et la légitimité du recours à l'énergie nucléaire sont mal fondées. Par conséquent, nous estimons qu"il est nécessaire de dépasser le nucléaire par la conclusion d'une convention internationale posant l'interdiction progressive mais complète du nucléaire.
All states without discrimination have an inalienable right to develop the uses of nuclear energy for civilian purposes, provided they do not divert these peaceful uses to nuclear weapons. However, five states have been granted the right to possess these weapons, that is : United-States, France, Russia, China and United-Kingdom. Around this position a fierce debate, both legal and ethical, has been raised. Indeed for its opponents nuclear represents a persistent risk that is non controllable by science. Major nuclear accidents, radioactive wastes and the use of nuclear for military purposes are unmanageable risks of exceptionnal serious gravity. On the other hand, the proponents of this energy present it as safe, even as part of sustainable development. According to them, nuclear is a reliable means to fight global warming and is also a solution to the energy shortage the world is facing. When analyzing the reliability and the credibility of all arguments for and against this industry, it can be noticed that the lawfulness and legitimacy of the use of nuclear energy are ill-founded. Therefore, we believe there is a need to go beyond nuclear with the conclusion of an international convention dealing with the progressive but comprehensive nuclear ban.
