Assessment of civil society's role in promoting democracy and preventing nationalism : a comparative study of non-governmental organisations in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and RomaniaRoditi, Ourania January 2001 (has links)
This thesis explores whether and to what extent civil society within the framework of post-communist transition, provides a bulwark against the resurgence of exclusivist nationalism, in four countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania. In that respect minorities' and especially Roma's rights are extensively examined. Related to these issues is to what extent the third sector has been able to develop a democratic political culture among the populations of the respective countries. During the course of the research, the concept of political culture was perceived relatively strong, considering the short period of post-communist transition. However, it is worth looking into whether civil society has managed to develop attitudes consistent with what a democratic political culture demands. Non-governmental organisations have been selected as agents of civil society, capable of articulating the demands in the new post-communist era. Particular consideration is given to the theoretical relation between civil society, nationalism and democracy both before and after the fall of communism. The same topics are briefly presentedfo r eachc ountry individually. The empirical section examines three different methods of appraising NGOs: firstly NGOs are assessed according to basic criteria namely, founding members, financial resources, co-operation with local authorities etc. Secondly, their direct impact on legislation and institutional development is analysed. Thirdly, their impact on the development of a democratic political culture is examined. Finally, all factors are evaluated and concluding comparative remarks are made

Recovery of Telemetered Data by Vertical Merging AlgorithmsHoag, Joseph E., Kalibjian, Jeffrey R., Shih, Dwight, Toy, Edward J. 10 1900 (has links)
International Telemetering Conference Proceedings / October 17-20, 1994 / Town & Country Hotel and Conference Center, San Diego, California / A long standing problem in telemetry applications is the recovery of data which has
been damaged during downlink. Data recovery can be significantly improved by
telemetering information in a packet format which employs redundant mechanisms for
data encapsulation. A simple statistical algorithm (known as a "merge" algorithm) can
be run on the captured data to derive a "least damaged" data set.
