Denna uppsats handlar om förekomsten av Antisemitism i den svenska s.k. Vit makt-musiken. Uppsatsens syfte är att kartlägga förekomsten av antisemitism i tre vit makt- band: Pluton Svea, Storm och Dirlewanger. Analysen sker genom att texterna till två album av varje band studeras. Metoden är både kvalitativ som kvantitativ och bland annat så undersöks olika typer av antisemitiska uttalanden som därefter nivåsätts enligt en, av författaren, modifierad skala konstruerad av forskaren John C.G. Röhl. Resultatet av denna undersökning visar att antisemitism är ständigt närvarande i denna musikstil. Dock tar den sig olika uttryck beroende på vilket band det gäller. I de album som är producerade under 2000-talet tycks även en viss nedtoning av den våldsammaste formen av antisemitism kunna ses.

The purpose of this paper is to study underground Mark Six, which is among the most popular activities in Taiwan. Although it involves complicated financial transaction and lots of people, the deriving debt has no legal status according to principle ¡§the gamble debt is illegal¡¨ proscribed in Taiwanese civil law. This thesis focuses on how this system operates without the assurance of the legal system, which is widely believed as the foundation of modern property right. This Data were collected by in-depth interview and participant observation, including 23 interviewers in three main roles and other related actors, gamblers, brokers, bankers, and then, observing the transaction details of underground Mark Six in the illegal casino to analyze the issue specifically. This study identities three major mechanisms that maintain the operation of underground Mark Six: social Network, violence and risk Management. First, the definition of Social network is the relationship construction under the illegal Mark Six transaction. Trust and reputation, derived from the social network, protect transaction safety as a normative force. Next, the mechanism of violence is the transaction progress which judges in underworld way. Also, the mechanism of violence has the technique of evasion of law. Third, the mechanism of risk management is by different layers' actors to work on, and therefore, these actors cause the variation of transaction rule, method and restriction. In order to avoid debt quarrel, for instance, gamblers in lower layer usually decrease the risks by separating the creditor's right to different uplinks.For the brokers in the middle layer, they use a specific transaction record to insure the transaction execution. What's more is that the bankers in the top layer would control the signed Mark Six number for some specific number to prevent a horrible ¡§Hot Pack¡¨ result. I also find that recently Underground Mark Six is toward network technology, gathering with the traditional manual operation. These two executions so called ¡§Computer Operation¡¨ and ¡§Paper Operation.¡¨ Computer operation, moreover, is toward to be an institutionalization franchise, leading the Underground Mark Six to a technology operation, especially for account and managing risk.

This thesis presents a computational analysis of the magnetic field of low-frequency power transmission lines, and the approaches to its suppression. First, according to the structure of Taiwan's three-phase A.C. transmission network, this research calculated the distribution of conducting wires' magnetic field under specific configuration by applying the theories of Near-field effect, Biot Savart's law, and double complex number. Second, this research explored the features of various approaches to magnetic field suppression with magnetic-field vector analyses and Matlab simulations. Finally, two magnetic-field cancellation methods, the ¡§circuit space arrangement¡¨ and ¡§time phase permutations¡¨ were adopted to investigate their magnetic effects under various structures and combinations of transmission lines. This study reveals that the magnetic field can be effectively suppressed by using appropriate configuration of transmission lines in space and phase. By applying the result to the design and construction of transmission lines, we can meet not only the requirements of magnetic field reduction, but also the needs of the least cost.

Abstract After the ban against private-owned gas service stations was lifted in 1987, some domestic trading firms took advantage of the special feature of gasoline products as well as Taiwan¡¦s unique oil price structure to import low-quality oil products for blending into gasoline-equivalent products, which would then be sold to independent service station owners mushrooming in accordance with the oil market deregulation. According to the statistics of import/export at Taiwan customs and the comparison between supply and demand of relative industries, it is agreed that an annual total of approximate 400,000 kiloliters of various imported oil products would be blended into gasoline or diesels for sale. Moreover, as Taiwan government has been continuously providing a 14% oil price subsidy against a sluggish fishing industry caused by depleting fishing resources, the fishing fuels in glut, at an estimate of 410, 000 kiloliters a year, would be illegally sold as diesel in domestic gas service stations for higher profits. These practices have not only directly affected tax revenues of local governments, but also infringed upon the legal rights of petroleum refineries, putting the orderliness of petroleum production and sale in jeopardy. In addition, as such illicit practices are usually carried out near makeshift storage tanks with ineligible filling facilities, they have posed great threats to public safety and environment. As it is difficult to detect and thereby root out the underground transactions of such inferior gasoline and diesels, the police that was authorized insufficiently on legal aspects would carry out inspections at key roads and intersections only passively, which has posed but limited intimidation over illegal transactions of unqualified gasoline products. Realizing the facts, this survey takes the historical data on relative factors and market survey figures as basis for calculation and analysis, which is used then to assume the normal demand of gasoline and diesel markets and to establish a conclusive alarming model for flow direction. Besides, it obtains affecting variables such as market segmentation, channel characteristics, customer behaviors, price gap and business environments through interviews and questionnaires, to determine limits on the alarming model and the alarming value. Comparing with the actual consumption of gasoline and diesels, we can then judge if there remains any abnormality concerning the sales volume of gasoline and diesels. If any abnormal sign shown, we can check the alarming model item by item for timely management and control, so as to supervise and check the underground transactions of inferior gasoline and diesels. We also hope that the survey report on ¡§the Alarming Model over the Flow of Inferior Gasoline and Diesels and Its Application¡¨ could provide practical references for the detection and elimination of inferior gasoline and diesels so that the illicit and unsafe practice could be inhibited once and for all.

This dissertation presents a methodology for an efficient, non-destructive, and online incipient fault diagnosis system (IFDS) to detect underground cable incipient faults before they become catastrophic. The system provides vital information to help the operator with the decision-making process regarding the condition assessment of the underground cable. It incorporates advanced digital signal processing and pattern recognition methods to classify recorded data into designated classes. Additionally, the IFDS utilizes novel detection methodologies to detect when the cable is near failure. The classification functionality is achieved through employing an ensemble of rule-based and supervised classifiers. The Support Vector Machines, designed and used as a supervised classifier, was found to perform superior. In addition to the normalized energy features computed from wavelet packet analysis, two new features, namely Horizontal Severity Index, and Vertical Severity Index are defined and used in the classification problem. The detection functionality of the IFDS is achieved through incorporating a temporal severity measure and a detection method. The novel severity measure is based on the temporal analysis of arrival times of incipient abnormalities, which gives rise to a numeric index called the Global Severity Index (GSI). This index portrays the progressive degradation path of underground cable as catastrophic failure time approaches. The detection approach utilizes the numerical modeling capabilities of SOM as well as statistical change detection techniques. The natural logarithm of the chronologically ordered minimum modeling errors, computed from exposing feature vectors to a trained SOM, is used as the detection index. Three modified change detection algorithms, namely Cumulative Sum, Exponentially Weighted Moving Averages, and Generalized Likelihood Ratio, are introduced and applied to this application. These algorithms determine the change point or near failure time of cable from the instantaneous values of the detection index. Performance studies using field recorded data were conducted at three warning levels to assess the capability of the IFDS in predicting the faults that actually occurred in the monitored underground cable. The IFDS presents a high classification rate and satisfactory detection capability at each warning level. Specifically, it demonstrates that at least one detection technique successfully provides an early warning that a fault is imminent.
