Hvordan påvirker ISIL sine tap av ressurser, gruppens evne til å bruke propaganda og sosiale medier som strategi for å nå sine målsetninger?
No full textTerrorgruppen kjent som blant annet den Islamske staten i Irak og Levanten
(ISIL), erobret på sitt toppunkt et område på størrelse med Storbritannia.
23 mars 2019 erklærte den kurdisk ledede frie arme, at de hadde tatt den siste ISIL kontrollerte byen Baghuz i Syria (BBC, monitoring, 2019 23.mars). Med dette mistet ISIL kontrollen over sine kjerneområder i Syria og Irak, og dermed viktige ressurser. Oppgavens hovedtema vil være ISIL sin bruk av propaganda og sosiale medier i en digital strategi for å nå målsetninger. Oppgaven vil se på om ressursene gruppen disponerte gjorde at ISIL kunne bruke denne strategien mer effektivt, eller om tap av ressurser ikke påvirker dette. Når ISIL var på topp politisk, økonomisk og militært, kontrollerte gruppen ressurser ingen annen terrorgruppe har hatt tidligere. Dette var i form av territorielle, finansielle og menneskelige ressurser. Oppgaven vil forsøke å vise, hvordan disse ressursene muliggjorde for ISIL å bygge opp et statslignende apparat med ulike departementer, også innenfor media og kommunikasjon. ISIL benyttet seg til det fulle av mulighetene innenfor teknologi, internett, sosiale medier og propaganda i en vellykket medieoperasjon. Oppgaven vil se om den gradvise svekkelsen av gruppen og tap av ressurser har svekket denne medieoperasjonen eller ikke. Noen av funnene i oppgaven tyder på at suksessen bak ISIL sin medieoperasjon, lå i ressursene i kalifatet, spesielt evnen til å holde på territorium, som gav handlingsrom til produksjon og koordinering av propaganda. Andre funn tyder på at det er elementer ved ISIL sin organisasjonsstruktur som kan hjelpe gruppen til å nå sine målsetninger, selv om ISIL mister sine ressurser. ISIL sin hovedmålsetning er opprettelsen av kalifatet her og nå, noe de gjorde i 2014. Opprettelsen av kalifatet er å anse som gruppens hovedmålsetning. Ettersom gruppen nå er bekjempet i kjerneområdene, vil gruppen forsøke en reetablering av det fysiske kalifatet som oppgaven vil definere innenfor hovedmålsetningen. ISIL vil også gjøre strategiske grep for å overleve, dette vil oppgaven definere som et delmål . Oppgaven vil se på hvordan ISIL sin medieoperasjon herunder bruk av propaganda og sosiale medier støtter oppunder disse definerte målsetningene, ved å sammenligne ISIL sin bruk av propaganda og sosiale medier i 2 perioder. Hvor den ene blir definert som en periode med tilgang på ressurser og den andre med tap av ressurser. Dette vil forhåpentligvis kunne bidra til å se om ISIL sin effektive medieoperasjon var knyttet til ressursene i kalifatet, eller om de effektivt kan bruke propaganda og sosiale medier selv om ressursene som lå i kjerneområdene er tapt

Presentation Title: The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL): Combatting the Challenge of Postmodern Islamic Terrorism
Abstract: This 38-page white paper examines the causes behind the terrorist group ISIL and ultimately recommends a comprehensive policy to destroy the group and eliminate chances of its revival. The author reviews the history of Al Qaeda in Iraq and the unraveling of Syria during its civil conflict. ISIL’s rise, tactics and its manifestation as a group that actively holds territory is discussed. A literature review then analyzes three case studies of terrorism – the Irish Republican Army, the Tamil Tigers, and Hamas. Three policies are offered as possible courses of U.S. action to destroy ISIL. The author ultimately recommends a policy that calls for full-scale humanitarian and armed intervention in both Iraq and Syria to provide safe haven to refugees, force an end to the Syrian civil war and construct a functioning Iraqi state. The author concludes that resolving the conflicts in these failed states is necessary to comprehensively destroy ISIL
Finding typing compiler bugs
No full textWe propose a testing framework for validating static typing procedures in compilers. Our core component is a program generator suitably crafted for producing programs that are likely to trigger typing compiler bugs. One of our main contributions is that our program generator gives rise to transformation-based compiler testing for finding typing bugs. We present two novel approaches (type erasure mutation and type overwriting mutation) that apply targeted transformations to an input program to reveal type inference and soundness compiler bugs respectively. Both approaches are guided by an intra-procedural type inference analysis used to capture type information flow. We implement our techniques as a tool, which we call Hephaestus. The extensibility of Hephaestus enables us to test the compilers of three popular JVM languages: Java, Kotlin, and Groovy. Within nine months of testing, we have found 156 bugs (137 confirmed and 85 fixed) with diverse manifestations and root causes in all the examined compilers. Most of the discovered bugs lie in the heart of many critical components related to static typing, such as type inference.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Software Engineerin
Inflationary effects of oil prices and domestic gasoline prices: Markov-switching-VAR analysis
No full textThe purpose of this study is to contribute to the literature by studying the effects of sudden changes both on crude oil import price and domestic gasoline price on inflation for Turkey, an emerging country. Since an inflation targeting regime is being carried out by the Central Bank of Turkey, determination of such effects is becoming more important. Therefore empirical evidence in this paper will serve as guidance for those countries, which have an inflation targeting regime. Analyses have been done in the period of October 2005-December 2012 by Markov-switching vector autoregressive (MS-VAR) models which are successful in capturing the nonlinear properties of variables. Using MS-VAR analysis, it is found that there are 2 regimes in the analysis period. Furthermore, regime changes can be dated and the turning points of economic cycles can be determined. In addition, it is found that the effect of the changes in crude oil and domestic gasoline prices on consumer prices and core inflation is not the same under different regimes. Moreover, the sudden increase in gasoline price is more important for consumer price inflation than crude oil price shocks. Another finding is the presence of a pass-through effect from oil price and gasoline price to core inflation

The Specification of the Regime Structure in Turkish Economy with MS-VAR
No full textThe Specification of the Regime Structure in Turkish Economy with MS-VAR The structural changes in Turkey's economy which began in 1980, ended at the beginnings of 1990 by the completion of the process, then stepped in a term during which economy is frequently faced to face crises with the effect of internal and external shocks and serious fluctuations is observed. In this term, the general situation of economy can be explained shortly as spiral of high real interest rates, entries of hot money, low value of national currency as a result of frequent and huge devaluations in the value of national currency. Since 2002, transition to the strong economy program has been put into practice as a result of crises with the effect of crises experienced at the end of 1990 and at the beginning of 2000. Short summary of this term points out that various structures are the case in Turkish economy. The aim of this paper is to present the regime structure of Turkey's economy in the period from the beginning of 1990 to 2007, in other words, determination of regime change periods. In this study, Markov switching vector autoregressive (MS-VAR) models are used in determining the regime structure. Analyses are done for the period 1992:01-2007:03 by using current account, GDP growth rate, ratio of import coverage by export and interest rate series which are important and continuously observed macroeconomic variables and findings of this analyze exhibit the existence of three different regimes in this time period. This study's findings, especially related to the particular characteristics of pre-crisis period, contribute to reduce uncertainty and guide for decision makers in money and financial markets
Detection of aflatoxin M1 in milk and dairy products consumed in Adana, Turkey
No full textA total of 70 dairy products consisting of 20 sterilized milk, 10 butter, 20 white cheese and 20 Kashar cheese samples were analysed for aflatoxin M 1(AFM1) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The detection limit was 5 ng/L for milk and 25 ng/kg for butter, white cheese and Kashar cheese. Of the 70 dairy products analysed, AFM1 in 49 samples (70%) was found to range from 10 to 388 ng/kg. Moreover, AFM1 levels in three samples of milk, two samples of butter, one sample of white cheese and one sample of Kashar cheese were found to be higher than the Turkish legal limits. © 2008 Society of Dairy Technology

No full textWARio: efficient code generation for intermittent computing
No full textIntermittently operating embedded computing platforms powered by energy harvesting require software frameworks to protect from errors caused by Write After Read (WAR) dependencies. A powerful method of code protection for systems with non-volatile main memory utilizes compiler analysis to insert a checkpoint inside each WAR violation in the code. However, such software frameworks are oblivious to the code structure - -and therefore, inefficient - -when many consecutive WAR violations exist. Our insight is that by transforming the input code, i.e., moving individual write operations from unique WARs close to each other, we can significantly reduce the number of checkpoints. This idea is the foundation for WARio: a set of compiler transformations for efficient code generation for intermittent computing. WARio, on average, reduces checkpoint overhead by 58%, and up to 88%, compared to the state of the art across various benchmarks.Embedded System
