A hacker might use a rogue access point to gain access to a network, this poses athreat to the individuals connected to it. The hacker might have the potential to leakcorporate data or steal private information. The detection of rogue access points istherefore of importance to prevent any damage to both businesses and individuals.Comparing different software that detects rogue access points increases the chanceof someone finding a solution that suits their network. The different type of softwarethat are compared are intrusion detection systems, wireless scanners and a Ciscowireless lan controller. The parameters that are being compared are; cost, compat-ibility, detection capability and implementation difficulty. In order to obtain resultssome of the parameters require testing. As there are three types of software, threeexperiment environments should be conducted. Our research indicates that alreadyexisting network equipment or the size of the network affects the results from theexperiments.

Thesis advisor: LISA S. CAHILL / The Nuremberg trials ushered in a new era in which the four principles approach has become progressively the norm in Euro-American biomedical ethics, while the concepts of virtue and character become marginalized. In recent decades, the AIDS pandemic has highlighted the social aspects of health and illness, and the individualistic nature of the four principles approach proves inadequate in addressing the social causes of illness and poor health. At the global level, the promotion of the four principles approach as the universal norm can lead to the displacement of local values and customs, and the alienation of people from their cultural heritage. In this dissertation, I argue that although principles are indispensable, the virtue-based approach is more adequate in addressing these needs. The dissertation demonstrates that a virtue-based medical ethics informed by the gospel vision of healing would support models of health care that take seriously the social determinants of illness, and advocate action on behalf of the poor and the marginalized. At the global level, virtue-based medical ethics also allows the coexistence of the universal values and the local norms, and encourages cross-cultural dialogue. This dissertation develops a virtue-based medical ethics grounded in the Aristotelian teleological structure, and integrating insights obtained from the historical critical study of the healing narratives in Luke-Acts. It also provides a correlative study of the love command in Luke and the virtue of humaneness in the medical ethics of eighteenth century Vietnamese physician Hai Thuong Lan Ong. The concluding chapter brings these elements together in a discussion of the work of the Vietnamese Catholic AIDS care network. / Thesis (PhD) — Boston College, 2013. / Submitted to: Boston College.

No mundo globalizado em que vivemos os sistemas, as aplicações e as pessoas precisam estar conectadas permanentemente à Internet, e a uma variedade de redes de comunicação, com vários dispositivos, simultaneamente. O ideal, devido a esse contexto, seria ter um único dispositivo com uma única interface de rede e um único programa que permitisse fazer diversas conexões com diversos protocolos usados simultaneamente, tornando o sistema simples de usar e fácil de instalar e operar, conseguindo, desta forma, o nível de estabilidade e confiabilidade desejadas. Por isso, as redes de área pessoal (WPAN) estão crescendo em importância desde seu aparecimento em 1991. Diversas tecnologias foram propostas para sua implementação sem que haja um consenso sobre a aplicabilidade de cada opção. Este trabalho realiza uma avaliação crítica das diversas tecnologias propostas e por meio de um laboratório de prototipação procurou obter dados que permitam uma avaliação mais objetiva dessas tecnologias. Esse documento apresenta uma descrição desse laboratório e apresenta a metodologia proposta para comparação das tecnologias para WPAN, e os resultados obtidos em laboratório. O estudo apresentado demonstra, através de uma avaliação critica, que as principais alternativas no momento são Wi-Fi e Bluetooth e que com os dados obtidos na prototipação em laboratório se provou que hoje há possibilidade de virtualizar diferentes redes e tipos de interface em uma única interface física. A economia de escala, multiplicada pelo efeito da virtualização das interfaces, leva a conclusão que as tecnologias Wi-Fi e Bluetooth deverão dominar o mercado de WLAN e WPAN nos próximos anos. / In todays globalized world, systems, applications and people need to be permanently connected to the Internet, a variety of communications networks and several different devices simultaneously. Ideally, faced with this context, there should be a single device with a single network interface, and a single program that enables several connections and protocols to be used simultaneously, making the entire systems simple to use and easy to install and operate, thus leading to the desired levels of stability and reliability. So the personal area networks (WPAN) are growing in importance since its debut in 1991. Several technologies have been proposed for its implementation without a consensus on the applicability of each option The proposed work will conduct a critical evaluation of the various proposed technologies and, through a laboratory prototype seek information to enable a more objective evaluation of these technologies. This document provides a description of the laboratory and presents the proposed methodology to compare technology for WPAN.

Esta dissertação descreve os métodos, medidas e análises feitas para otimizar a rede de comunicação de dados do Instituto de Física de São Carlos. As tecnologias e protocolos utilizados na rede são apresentados. Especial atenção é dada a análise do desempenho de VLANs utilizando inicialmente o protocolo LANE no núcleo ATM da rede. Neste caso a rede é composta de switches ATM e ATM-Ethernet. Medidas comparativas foram realizadas com a utilização da tecnologia Fast Ethernet no backbone, que possui uma capacidade de transmissão relativamente próxima da ATM de 155Mbps. Melhores resultados obtidos com a implementação de sub-redes maiores, reduzindo em um numero menor de sub-redes, são discutidos e apresentados. Análises estatísticas baseadas apenas no tempo de resposta da rede são apresentados para avaliar o desempenho das alterações efetuadas nas configurações da rede. Mesmo que o tráfego tenha aumentado muito durante esses anos e que vários serviços tenha sido agregados a esta rede, foi possível adequar o desempenho as novas necessidades beneficiando-se da evolução tecnológica que os equipamentos de rede de dados trouxeram ao IFSC. / This work describes the methods, measures and analyses performed aiming to optimize the data communication network from the Physics Institute of Sao Carlos as well as the technologies and protocols used in the network recently. Special care is given to the analysis of the VLANs performance using, initially, the LANE protocol over ATM which has its core based on pure ATM and ATM-Ethernet switches. Comparative measures had been carried out using a backbone working on a Fast Ethernet technology, which seems to have a very close transmission rate from the ATM 155Mbps. This work also discusses best results acquired with the implementation of larger networks reducing the number of subnetworks, statistical analyses based on time delay of the network in order to evaluate the performance of the changes made on its configuration. Even though the traffic from the Institute has been increased over these years and several services have been added to the network, it was completely possible to adapt the performance to the needs, using the benefits of the technological evolution which the network equipments had brought to the Institute.

El presente trabajo consiste en la resolución de 2 casos prácticos correspondientes a empresas nacionales, donde el alumno podrá aplicar los conceptos adquiridos en los cursos de análisis financiero y administración. La idea de este seminario es entregar herramientas al lector para que pueda disminuir la brecha existente entre la teoría y la práctica. Los casos que se trabajarán son bien interesantes: El primero se refiere al perfecto manejo que se llevo a cabo en la administración y estrategia de Lan Chile, para poder ser una de las pocas compañías que obtuvo buenos resultados en el periodo 2001-2002 dada la magra situación mundial de la industria aeronáutica. El segundo caso trata sobre los conflictos de interés entre Angelini y Carter Holt Harvey (empresa Neozelandesa) por obtener acceso al directorio de Copec, y a su vez influir en las decisiones de Celulosa Arauco.

本論文共約十萬字，主要在探討宜蘭市道廟的管理組織，並從分析宜蘭市道廟的特性、管理組織型態、負責人特徵等十八個變項，了解全市道廟的概況，進一步在擇取六座道廟，針對廟的特性、管理組織的脈絡結構等變項，進行相關的文獻搜集與田野調查。最後，研究者將各廟之各變項及其結構、運作的程度，分別列表比較，並做成各廟組織系統表。 本研究發現，宜蘭市的道廟普遍未將祭祀圈分區及設分區信徒，觀光型的廟較少，廟平時與外界及道教會的交流也不多；另外，廟奉祀的主神與廟之經費來源也與過去學者於其它地區的研究不同，是為宜蘭市道廟的特色。而廟的管理組織方面，組織型態今多為管理委員會，型態的變遷則多因為重建或重修。組織負責人的選擇考量要件為其個人經歷及其廟務熟悉的程度，且組織負責人個人之特質、觀念對組織之結構、脈絡、運行方式權力分配等均有相當之影響力，因此各廟管理組織之大小、分組狀況，與各廟信徒人數、組織之興辦事業，及主委均有關係。而在組織的運作上，各廟對內功能均較對外功能彰顯。 研究者最後並提出建議，希望各廟能相互擷長補短，多促進委員及委員與信徒間之接觸，並可加入同一主神之聯誼會、或者主動向傳播媒體、社會大眾告知其活動的消息，以提升管理組織之運作效率，並適時得到需要之資源。在政府方面則應避免相關法令規定陳義過高及申報之手續過程太複雜，主管單位於能力可及範圍內應主動提供各寺廟管理必要之援助，並深入瞭解管理組織運作不佳之原因，以發揮管理組織之功效。

<p>This work has been carried out at a company in the region which has about 30000 employeeswith about 400 sites all over the world. The company outsources their network including theLAN refresh and the WAN migration. They needed help with an upgrade of their LAN at theirScandinavian headquarters and to find a new solution for their WAN. The reason why the upgradeof the LAN was needed was that the equipment was too old and did not pass the securityrequirements. They also required a solution to segment their LAN, which consisted of a singlelarge VLAN with 1,300 employees. their WAN solution was made up of tunnels between all officesand the headquarter were used as the central point. They wanted to get away from beingdependent on a central point while redundancy was not always working as it should.The solution to the WAN problem was to use the ISPs backbone based on MPLS. There are two mainsolutions, layer 2 (Ethernet) VPN or layer 3 (IP) VPN. In the case of IP VPN, there are a couple of differentconnectivity options such as a static route, or use a routing protocol (eg OSPF or BGP). The final solutionwas IP VPN with OSPF as routing protocol to the ISP. With regard to the configuration of the OSPF solutionwas that every office became an own OSPF domain, configured with area 0. The report also includesthe implementation of the WAN migration with its problems.The upgrade of the LAN was a lot of planning, documentation and security. The solution for the segmentationwas to create a VLAN per floor. Because of the new software they can have the required securityfeatures.</p>

<p>The IEEE 802.11b standard is today the only commonly used standard in Europe for fast wireless networks. This makes it possible to connect computers to networks in places where it is not possible to use wires. Examples of such situations are internet access at airports, communication in emergency areas or for military communication. Common for all these situations is that network security is important. </p><p>This thesis consists of two different parts. The first part handles the security mechanisms and the second part is an evaluation of the possibilities to use IEEE 802.11b in embedded applications. The part that handles the security includes the security mechanisms found in the standard, flaws in these mechanisms and methods that try to reduce these problems.</p>

<p>The result of this master thesis report describes the advantages and the drawbacks that will arise when implementing an Ethernet based intercommunication system in military vehicles. The report presents a possible solution and describes how different sound applications will be implemented into the suggested solution. </p><p>The report show that IP LAN in vehicles leads to more advantages than drawbacks. The main advantages are that all kind of media can share the same LAN and that there is a lot of knowledge of this technique in the civil area. The main drawback is about delay. The drawbacks are otherwise well known and methods are known to decrease the impact of them. In the suggested intercommunication system the processing delay gives the largest impact on not deliver data in real time. The suggested solution, with separate connections for intercom unit and PC platform to the switch at each crew member gives good reliability and security.</p>
