Physical and mental integrity of an individual represents one of the components of a human personality, which may be regarded as a personal sphere of everyone and which is protected by the law against any unauthorized interference. Legislation regarding the interference with the integrity of an individual is based on the principle of inviolability of a human being, according to which no one is entitled to interfere with the integrity of another individual without his consent, except as provided by law. The consent of the individual concerned is therefore the most fundamental circumstance excluding illegality of the interference. The aim of this diploma thesis is to analyse current legislation regarding the interference with the integrity of an individual, especially relevant provisions of the new civil code, and to point out its potential deficiencies or problematic aspects. It focuses on particular circumstances under which it is possible to interfere with the integrity of an individual, or which represent the reasons for such interference and therefore exclude its illegality. Even though the thesis aims to elaborate the topic from the point of view of civil law, with regard to the fact that most of the serious interferences with the integrity of an individual occur when health services are...

L’intégrité des signaux GNSS est définie comme la mesure de la confiance qui peut être placée dans l’exactitude des informations fournies par le système de navigation. Bien que le concept d’intégrité GNSS a été initialement développé dans le cadre de l’aviation civile comme une des exigences standardisées par l’Organisation de l’Aviation Civile Internationale (OACI) pour l’utilisation du GNSS dans les systèmes de Communication, Navigation, et Surveillance / Contrôle du Trafic Aérien (CNS/ATM), un large éventail d’applications non aéronautiques ont également besoin de navigation par satellite fiable avec un niveau d’intégrité garanti. Beaucoup de ces applications se situent en environnement urbain. Le contrôle d’intégrité GNSS est un élément clé des applications de sécurité de la vie (SoL), telle que l’aviation, et des applications exigeant une fiabilité critique comme le télépéage basé sur l’utilisation du GNSS, pour lesquels des erreurs de positionnement peuvent avoir des conséquences juridiques ou économiques. Chacune de ces applications a ses propres exigences et contraintes, de sorte que la technique de contrôle d’intégrité la plus appropriée varie d’une application à l’autre. Cette thèse traite des systèmes de télépéage utilisant GNSS en environnement urbain. Les systèmes de navigation par satellite sont l’une des technologies que l’UE recommande pour le Service Européen de Télépéage Electronique (EETS). Ils sont déjà en cours d’adoption: des systèmes de télépéage pour le transport poids lourd utilisant GPS comme technologie principale sont opérationnels en Allemagne et en Slovaquie, et un système similaire est envisagé en France à partir de 2013. À l’heure actuelle, le contrôle d’intégrité GPS s’appuie sur des systèmes d´augmentation (GBAS, SBAS, ABAS) conçus pour répondre aux exigences de l’OACI pour les opérations aviation civile. C´est la raison pour laquelle cette thèse débute par une présentation du concept d’intégrité en aviation civile afin de comprendre les performances et contraintes des systèmes hérités. La thèse se poursuit par une analyse approfondie des systèmes de télépéage et de navigation GNSS en milieu urbain qui permets de dériver les techniques de contrôle d’intégrité GNSS les plus adaptées. Les algorithmes autonomes de type RAIM ont été choisis en raison de leur souplesse et leur capacité d´adaptabilité aux environnements urbains. Par la suite, le modèle de mesure de pseudodistances est élaboré. Ce modèle traduit les imprécisions des modèles de correction des erreurs d’horloge et d’ephemeride, des retards ionosphériques et troposphériques, ainsi que le bruit thermique récepteur et les erreurs dues aux multitrajets. Les exigences d’intégrité GNSS pour l’application télépéage sont ensuite dérivées à partir de la relation entre les erreurs de positionnement et leur effets dans la facturation finale. Deux algorithmes RAIM sont alors proposés pour l’application péage routier. Le premier est l’algorithme basé sur les résidus de la solution des moindres carrés pondérés (RAIM WLSR), largement utilisé dans l’aviation civile. Seulement, un des principaux défis de l’utilisation des algorithmes RAIM classiques en milieux urbains est un taux élevé d’indisponibilité causé par la mauvaise géométrie entre le récepteur et les satellites. C’est pour cela que un nouvel algorithme RAIM est proposé. Cet algorithme, basé sur le RAIM WLSR, est conçu de sorte à maximiser l’occurrence de fournir un positionnement intègre dans un contexte télépéage. Les performances des deux algorithmes RAIM proposés et des systèmes de télépéage associés sont analysés par simulation dans différents environnements ruraux et urbains. Dans tous les cas, la disponibilité du nouvel RAIM est supérieure à celle du RAIM WLSR. / Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) integrity is defined as a measure of the trust that can be placed in the correctness of the information supplied by the navigation system. Although the concept of GNSS integrity has been originally developed in the civil aviation framework as part of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) requirements for using GNSS in the Communications, Navigation, and Surveillance / Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) system, a wide range of non-aviation applications need reliable GNSS navigation with integrity, many of them in urban environments. GNSS integrity monitoring is a key component in Safety of Life (SoL) applications such as aviation, and in the so-called liability critical applications like GNSS-based electronic toll collection, in which positioning errors may have negative legal or economic consequences. At present, GPS integrity monitoring relies on different augmentation systems (GBAS, SBAS, ABAS) that have been conceived to meet the ICAO requirements in civil aviation operations. For this reason, the use of integrity monitoring techniques and systems inherited from civil aviation in non-aviation applications needs to be analyzed, especially in urban environments, which are frequently more challenging than typical aviation environments. Each application has its own requirements and constraints, so the most suitable integrity monitoring technique varies from one application to another. This work focuses on Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) systems based on GNSS in urban environments. Satellite navigation is one of the technologies the directive 2004/52/EC recommends for the European Electronic Toll Service (EETS), and it is already being adopted: toll systems for freight transport that use GPS as primary technology are operational in Germany and Slovakia, and France envisages to establish a similar system from 2013. This dissertation begins presenting first the concept of integrity in civil aviation in order to understand the objectives and constraints of existing GNSS integrity monitoring systems. A thorough analysis of GNSS-based ETC systems and of GNSS navigation in urban environments is done afterwards with the aim of identifying the most suitable road toll schemes, GNSS receiver configurations and integrity monitoring mechanisms. Receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) is chosen among other integrity monitoring systems due to its design flexibility and adaptability to urban environments. A nominal pseudorange measurement model suitable for integrity-driven applications in urban environments has been calculated dividing the total pseudorange error into five independent error sources which can be modelled independently: broadcasted satellite clock corrections and ephemeris errors, ionospheric delay, tropospheric delay, receiver thermal noise (plus interferences) and multipath. In this work the fault model that includes all non-nominal errors consists only of major service failures. Afterwards, the GNSS integrity requirements are derived from the relationship between positioning failures and toll charging errors. Two RAIM algorithms are studied. The first of them is the Weighted Least Squares Residual (WLSR) RAIM, widely used in civil aviation and usually set as the reference against which other RAIM techniques are compared. One of the main challenges of RAIM algorithms in urban environments is the high unavailability rate because of the bad user/satellite geometry. For this reason a new RAIM based on the WLSR is proposed, with the objective of providing a trade-off between the false alarm probability and the RAIM availability in order to maximize the probability that the RAIM declares valid a fault-free position. Finally, simulations have been carried out to study the performance of the different RAIM and ETC systems in rural and urban environments. In all cases, the availability obtained with the novel RAIM improve those of the standard WLSR RAIM.

The paper describes a qualitative study of users' attitudes to metadata in relation to their knowledge and how it affects their valuation of digital integrity. Method for data collection is semi-structured interviews and a critical event. The informants were two people who work with IT and two who do not. The theories of undesign, utilitarianism and privacy were chosen to discuss in relation to the result. A thematic analysis method is used to find relationships between attitudes and other interesting themes in the result. These themes, which we have named after the main attitudes of the informants, includes inter alia knowledge, trust, suspicion and positivity. In the discussion chapter, the results are linked with the analysis and answer the research question. The conclusion is that there is no clear correlation between the informants' knowledge and their attitude, knowledge of metadata has little significance for the attitude and the knowledge and attitudes have little effect on the evaluation of integrity among our four informants. / Uppsatsen behandlar en kvalitativ studie av användares attityder till metadata i relation till deras kunskap samt hur det påverkar deras värdering av digital integritet. Metod för datainsamling är semistrukturerade intervjuer samt en kritisk händelse. Informanterna var två personer som är yrkesverksamma inom IT och två som inte är det. Teorierna avdesign, utilitarism samt privatliv valdes ut att diskuteras i relation till resultatet. En tematisk analysmetod används för att hitta samband mellan attityder och andra intressanta teman i resultatet. Dessa teman, som är döpta efter de huvudsakliga attityderna informanterna uppvisat, var bland annat kunskap, tillit, misstänksamhet och positivitet. I diskussionskapitlet sammankopplas resultatet med analysen och besvarar forskningsfrågan. Slutsatsen av denna studie är att vi inte funnit något samband mellan de fyra informanternas kunskap och deras attityd, kunskap om metadata har liten betydelse för attityden och att kunskaperna och attityderna i liten del påverkar värderingen av integritet.

This dissertation is aimed at examining signal integrity degradation factors and realizing signal integrity enhancement circuits for both wired and wireless communication systems. For wired communication systems, an optical coherent system employing an electrical equalization circuit is studied as a way of extending the transmission distance limited by optical fiber dispersion mechanisms. System simulation of the optical coherent receiver combined with the feed-forward equalizers is performed to determine the design specification of the equalizer circuit. The equalization circuit is designed and implemented in a 0.18 µm complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) process and demonstrates the capability to extend the transmission reach of long-haul optical systems over single-mode fiber to 600 km. Additionally, for wireless applications, signal integrity issues found in a full-duplex wireless communication network are examined. Full-duplex wireless systems are subject to interference from their own transmitter leakage signals; thus, a transmitter leakage cancellation circuit is designed and implemented in a 0.18 µm CMOS technology. The proposed cancellation circuit is integrated with a low-noise amplifier and demonstrates over 20 dB of transmitter leakage signal suppression.

Esse sistema, conhecido como Sistema Instrumentado de Segurança (SIS), é responsável pela segurança operacional do processo dentro de limites seguros através da monitoração de valores e parâmetros quando houver condições de risco. Os SISs são concebidos com diferentes Níveis de Integridade de Segurança (SIL) de acordo com o risco do processo. O desafio na implantação de um SIS é que seu procedimento de projeto é complexo e pouco difundido, além de existirem diversos métodos de cálculo e análise de riscos aceitos pelas normas de segurança. A motivação para este trabalho foi automatizar e auxiliar o projeto de SIS no que diz respeito à redução da quantidade de pessoas envolvidas e de tarefas manuais que podem causar erros, à padronização e simplificação dos procedimentos e cálculos necessários e também à diminuição do tempo de projeto, promovendo um aumento na eficiência e redução dos custos envolvidos. O objetivo é desenvolver uma ferramenta de análise e projeto de SIS, com programação voltada para Web, capaz realizar um estudo de riscos e falhas de um processo industrial e calcular um valor adequado para a seleção do SIL requerido para implantação de um sistema de segurança. A ferramenta é composta de quatro módulos: o Estudo de riscos e falhas usando a técnica HAZOP, a Quantificação dos riscos e criação de árvores de falhas; a Obtenção do SIL através da Análise da Árvores de Falhas (AAF) e a Definição de uma Função Instrumentada de Segurança (SIF) apropriada para o SIL calculado. A ferramenta desenvolvida é inovadora ao automatizar e combinar no mesmo ambiente todos os procedimentos necessários para a análise e projeto de SIS. Diversos casos de estudo de projeto de SIS, sendo um caso industrial real e outros da literatura, são utilizados para teste e validação dos módulos da ferramenta afim de demonstrar sua eficiência, flexibilidade de uso e exatidão dos resultados obtidos com a sua aplicação. / The high complexity tied to the reliability and security requirements of industrial processes has demanded the deployment of automatic safety systems. This system is known as Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) and is responsible for the process operational safety within safe limits through the monitoring of values and parameters when there are conditions of risk. The SIS is designed with different Safety Integrity Levels (SIL) according to the process risk. The challenge in the deployment of SIS is that the design procedure is complex and not well known, and there are many calculation and risk analysis methods accepted by the safety standards. The motivation was automating and assisting in the design of SIS with regard to the reduction of people involved and manual tasks that may cause errors, the standardization and simplification of procedures and calculations needed and the reduction in project time, promoting an increase in efficiency and reducing the costs. The objective was developing an analysis and design tool for SIS, with web-based programming, capable of performing a study of the risks and failures of an industrial process and calculating an adequate value for the selection of the Safety Integrity Level (SIL) required for the implementation of the safety system. The tool is comprised of four modules: the Study of risks and failures using the HAZOP technique, the Quantification of risks and creation of fault trees; the SIL calculation through the Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) and the Definition of a Safety Instrumented Function (SIF) suitable for SIL calculated. The developed tool is innovative by systemizing and combining in the same environment all the procedures required for the analysis and design of SIS. Several case studies of SIS design are used for testing and validation of the tool modules, considering a real industrial case and others cases in the literature, in order to demonstrate the efficiency, flexibility of use, and accuracy of the results obtained with the tool application. / 1649039

This diploma thesis deals with the storage tanks for petroleum products. The introductory part is devoted to the distribution of the storage tanks, associated standards and maintenance of tanks. Another part goes about the analysis of real case of a tank collapse. There was created a 3D model of the collapsed tank according to the measured values in the tank. It was created a tank shell model by drawing documentation and analysis of the results of the accident investigation using the finite element method (FEM) by program ANSYS. Calculation was performed on the buckling resistance of the structure according to ČSN EN 1993-1-6 and its comparison with the results of FEM analysis in ANSYS. The aim of the study was to find the critical condition of the structure and determination of the critical internal underpressure and overpressure. At the end there were determined measures for safe operation and settings of the valve members.
