Understanding Internet Shutdowns: A Case Study from PakistanWagner, Benjamin January 2018 (has links) (PDF)
This article provides an overview of Internet shutdowns in Pakistan, which have become
an increasingly common phenomenon, with 41 occurring between 2012 and 2017. It
argues that to understand how shutdowns became normalized in Pakistan, it is necessary
to look at the specific dynamics of how the shutdowns take place. In doing so, the concept
of communicative ruptures develops to better understand intentional government
shutdowns of communications. The article argues that strategic prevention of mobilization
is key for short-term shutdowns, whereas long-term shutdowns can be better explained
by looking at disciplinary mechanisms and denying the existence of "others". The article
then discusses Internet shutdowns in the wider context of authoritarian practices before
concluding with the urgent need for further research on this topic, both in Pakistan and
beyond.

Improving success in shutdown projects in South AfricaMasubelele, Flavia Thembelihle 11 1900 (has links)
Shutdown projects are known as strategic components used for maximizing production
throughput and increasing the reliability of the plant. Research has shown that project
managers are faced with a number of challenges when implementing shutdown projects. This
research examined how shutdown project success is perceived based on the views of those
engaged in these projects in South Africa, studied the factors that can contribute towards
improving the project outcome, and developed a conceptual model for examining the
significance of these factors on project success.
An extensive evaluation of existing literature was conducted, from which this study extracted
a set of success criteria used to assess the outcome of shutdown projects and success
variables in shutdown projects. A conceptual model was developed, which examines the
association between the critical success factors and project success. The research design of
this study was guided by the positivist research philosophy. A cross-sectional survey was
undertaken to collect data from participants involved in shutdown projects in South Africa.
The sample was selected using purposive sampling. The investigation resulted in a sample of
246 valid responses being received. The hypothesised association between project success
and the critical success factors was analysed using structural equation modelling.
In this research study, success is regarded as a multi-dimensional construct characterised by
project efficiency and organisational success. The study established that success in shutdown
projects is accomplished when the project is concluded according to the project costs, time,
commissioning incidences,health safety and environmental (SHE) specifications; according
to the needs of stakeholders and the profitability of the business. Further, the following
categories of success factors critical for shutdown project success were established: project
management actions, competence of the project manager, organisational success, competence
of the project team and project characteristics. Of these critical success factors, the overall
success of shutdown projects was significantly affected by organisational factors. Although
project characteristics were found to be significant for the project efficiency dimension of
project success, project management actions and competence of the project team were found
to be significant for the organisational success dimension of project success. The findings of this research therefore provide a holistic view of the measures used to
evaluate the outcome of shutdown projects and guide project managers to the critical success
factors that can be considered when improving the success of their shutdown projects. / School of Computing / D. Phil.

Resilience of Microgrid during Catastrophic EventsBlack, Travis Glenn 05 1900 (has links)
Today, there is a growing number of buildings in a neighborhood and business parks that are utilizing renewable energy generation, to reduce their electric bill and carbon footprint. The most current way of implementing a renewable energy generation is to use solar panels or a windmill to generate power; then use a charge controller connected to a battery bank to store power. Once stored, the user can then access a clean source of power from these batteries instead of the main power grid. This type of power structure is utilizing a single module system in respect of one building. As the industry of renewable power generation continues to increase, we start to see a new way of implementing the infrastructure of the power system. Instead of having just individual buildings generating power, storing power, using power, and selling power there is a fifth step that can be added, sharing power. The idea of multiple buildings connected to each other to share power has been named a microgrid by the power community. With this ability to share power in a microgrid system, a catastrophic event which cause shutdowns of power production can be better managed. This paper then discusses the data from simulations and a built physical model of a resilient microgrid utilizing these principles.
