An analysis of disc carving techniques

Mikus, Nicholas A. 03 1900 (has links)
Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / Disc carving is an essential element of computer forensic analysis. However the high cost of commercial solutions coupled with the lack of availability of open source tools to perform disc analysis has become a hindrance to those performing analysis on UNIX computers. In addition even expensive commercial products offer only a fairly limited ability to "carve" for various files. In this thesis, an open source tool known as Foremost is modified in such a way as to address the need for such a carving tool in a UNIX environment. An implementation of various heuristics for recognizing file formats will be demonstrated as well as the ability to provide some file system specific support. As a result of these implementations a revision of Foremost will be provided that will be made available as an open source tool to aid analysts in their forensic investigations. / Civilian, Federal Cyber Corps

Crisis communications : an examination of spokespersons use of response strategies during the Adam's Mark Hotel racial discrimination lawsuit / Examination of spokespersons use of response strategies during the Adam's Mark Hotel racial discrimination lawsuit

Durril, Roseanne E. January 2001 (has links)
There have been a number of studies that examine how public relations practitioners respond during a crisis. Many researchers have examined the various response strategies and the success or failure of theses methods. Because a crisis can have legal ramifications, it is important that a good working relationship between the legal staff and public relations staff exists. To better understand the relationship between the two groups and the response strategies generated during a crisis, more research in this issue is needed. This study focused on response strategies used during a racial discrimination lawsuit. The objectives of the study were to determine which strategies were used most often, and how the influence of legal staff and public relations staff determined the responses.A content analysis of newspapers found in a NexisLexis search, during the crisis period, was used to gather responses made by spokespersons. The search yielded twenty-seven usable newspaper articles and sixty-two responses from company spokespersons.Coders were trained to identify the response strategies that were defined as traditional public relations strategy, traditional legal strategy, mixed strategy and diversionary strategy. A chi-square test was used to test the hypothesis. The findings supported a balance between the use of traditional public relations strategy and traditional legal strategy.Further analysis identified a significant increase in the use of traditional public relations strategy when a public relations firm was retained to remedy the crisis situation. The study also supported a collaborative working relationship between public relations and legal counsel. / Department of Journalism

Public Regulation through Private Litigation: The Regulatory Power of Private Lawsuits and the American Bureaucracy

Mulroy, Quinn Weber January 2012 (has links)
Embedded within the notably constrained American state, how can regulatory agencies ensure that enforcement goals are met? Some analyses suggest that this is not so easily done; rather, constraints on agencies' formal administrative powers are said to threaten their capacity for effective regulation. But recent scholarship contends that such accounts underestimate the pivotal and oftentimes `hidden' regulatory role played by less formal mechanisms of enforcement, such as private litigation. Building on this revisionist strain, this dissertation project closely examines the ways in which constrained agencies look outside themselves - and their formally granted administrative authority - for enforcement power by developing incentive structures that motivate private actors to engage in litigation that advances regulatory goals. Through an historical analysis of the development of the regulatory capacity of three agencies - the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Environmental Protection Agency, and the Office of Equal Opportunity at HUD - this project uses qualitative and quantitative approaches to explore how and when regulatory agencies choose to focus their limited resources on mobilizing private enforcement of public policy. First, using a careful examination of agency and presidential archival materials, I specify the mechanisms by which agency actors promote private litigation and uncover the institutional and political conditions under which this legal enforcement strategy is employed over time. And then, from these archival observations, I construct original quantitative measures capturing the deployment of these legal enforcement strategies, and conduct statistical analyses to confirm the success of agency efforts to encourage private litigation over time. Ultimately, by reconsidering how to integrate informal mechanisms of enforcement, like agency-motivated private litigation, into theories of bureaucratic regulation, this research contributes to our practical understandings of day-to-day agency behavior and to our conceptions and assessments of state capacity, more broadly.

The meaning of expenditure actually incurred in the context of share-based payments for trading stock or services rendered

Nguta, Mbulelo January 2015 (has links)
Section 11(a) of the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 entitles taxpayers to a deduction in respect of expenditure actually incurred, provided that all the other requirements of section 11 and section 23 of the Act have been met. A company may issue its own shares, credited as fully paid up, as a payment for trading stock or services rendered, as was the case in C:SARS v Labat Africa (2011) 74 SATC 1. The question that was raised by this decision is whether the issue of shares constitutes “expenditure” as contemplated in section 11(a) of the Act. It is trite that a share in a company is a bundle of rights which entitle the holder to dividends when declared and to a vote in shareholders’ meetings and that a share does not come into the hands of a shareholder by way of transfer from the company, but is rather created as a bundle of rights for him in the company. In C: SARS v Labat Africa, the Supreme Court of Appeal decided that to issue shares as a payment for goods is not expenditure as contemplated in section 11(a) of the Act. The Act does not define “expenditure”. It has been interpreted in certain cases as a payment of money or disbursement, while it has been interpreted as the undertaking of a legal obligation in other cases. The Labat Africa case has been criticised for its interpretation of expenditure on the grounds that it is contrary to the principle that “actually incurred” does not mean “actually paid”. This research has argued that, in the context of the Labat Africa case, which related to an issue of shares in payment for goods, Harms AP’s judgment was concerned with showing why a share issue is not expenditure. He could not have intended to deny a deduction to transactions such as credit purchases.

Mediación-conciliación como política pública para la resolución de conflictos socio-ambientales

Meraz Castillo, Armando 17 March 2015 (has links)
A partir de los movimientos socio-ambientales surgidos en los años 60, se notó una creciente preocupación por el deterioro del medio ambiente, así como por la participación social de intervenir en las decisiones públicas relativas al uso adecuado de los recursos naturales. No obstante ello, el sistema procesal vigente todavía se rige por un ordenamiento jurídico positivista, apegado fundamentalmente a las directrices enmarcadas en la ley. Como resultado, se observa una deficiencia, por parte del Estado, en dirimir las complejas controversias que surgen englobando determinados grupos sociales y el medio ambiente. En este contexto, se analiza la posibilidad de utilizar métodos alternativos de resolución de controversias, tales como la mediación y la conciliación, como opciones viables para resolver los conflictos socio-ambientales, y con ello obtener una solución que atienda las necesidades de la sociedad y del medio natural. Partiendo de la idea de que la participación social tiene que reflejarse de una forma más efectiva, los procesos de medicación–conciliación se revelaron no apenas un medio adecuado para solucionar controversias socio-ambientales, mediante la creación de espacios neutrales, sino también, como instrumentos capaces de empoderar a las minorías o los grupos sociales hiposuficientes, fomentando su participación por medio de métodos y herramientas que garanticen su equidad en la disputa y la expresión de su auténtica voluntad. Para ello, el presente trabajo se apoyó en el método de investigación fenomenológico, en conjunto con el procedimiento monográfico, así como la técnica de investigación consistente en la recolecta de datos bibliográficos y documentales. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-05-06T19:00:21Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Armando Meraz Castillo.pdf: 1522968 bytes, checksum: 38be07977723bc6d4c110c0d7f1de70e (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-05-06T19:00:21Z (GMT).
