Det sociale eksperiment

eller et håb for den offentlige sektor

The Danish public sector is facing severe social challenges, inwards as well as outwards. But there is a hope anticipating a revitalized, adjusted and developed public sector. For the fulfilment of this hope there is yet another hope: the social experiment. This text is an inquiry into the understanding of the social experiment. Proceeding from an interpretation of the experiment, as in the science in which man seeks to experience causal relations in nature, the social experiment is found to deviate fundamentally. This deviation is acknowledged in the difference of the object; in the social experiment the object is also a subject. Therefore, only quasi-causal relations, or social tendencies, can be disclosed and only in a way that reifies man. This disclosure, however, does not fulfil the hope for the public sector on its own. Accordingly, the social experiment is interpreted with regard not only to experience social tendencies, but also to transcend these by including the object as a self-reflecting subject. It is suggested, in order to accomplish both disclosure and development through the social experiment, that two different albeit connected images must be sought. In an oscillating movement between these, they compensate for each other by securing both the connection to the actual surroundings as well as progress. Finally, four principles of the development-oriented social experiment are laid out in accordance with the interpretation in this text, and confirmed by readings about social experiments actually done primarily in the public sector.

Design Live Loads for Parking Garages

A Report to the Structural Engineering Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers

Design Live Loads for Parking Garages provides a better understanding of parking garage live loads and recommends an appropriate value for design. Based on a load survey conducted in nine parking garages in Chicago and Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, and Cambridge and Boston, Massachusetts, statistical analyses were carried out of the Equivalent Uniform Distributed Loads (EUDL). These produce the maximum column axial loads and beam midspan moments that the building is expecting to experience during its lifetime. The dynamic amplifications due to vehicle motions on the decks and ramps were also investigated, and results suggest a possible reduction of the design live load from the current value of 50 psf, as stipulated in the ASCE-7 and Uniform Building Code, to 40 psf but with no allowance for reduction according to bay area.

This report provides a better understanding of parking garage live loads and recommends an appropriate value for design.

Internet Banking Among Corporate Bank Customers in Kenya

This study concerned the extent of adoption of internet banking and the factors affecting the adoption rate of internet banking services amongst the corporate customers of banks in Kenya. The need for the study arose in view of the increase in trends towards the adoption of internet banking. The study had two objectives namely to determine the extent of adoption of internet banking by corporate customers of the banks and to determine the factors that affect corporate customers' adoption of internet banking in Kenya. The action taken by bankers and policy makers in appropriately addressing critical issues will determine the success of Internet banking. The respondents were selected using stratified and judgmental sampling. The respondents were the Finance Managers, ICT managers and General Managers and middle level management staff of the organizations respondents who were believed to have the knowledge required for the study.In view of the findings, several recommendations were made which may be useful for bankers and other related organizations. Banks should make their customers more aware of their new internet banking products and services, to encourage higher adoption.

The Effects of Gap Crossing on Operational Reach - Studies of Three Large-scale, Opposed River Crossings in World War II and Arab-Israeli War: Operations Market Garden, Plunder, Badr

Throughout history, opposed river crossing operations have proven to be some of the bloodiest and most complex endeavors for any military force. However, due to a sixty-year lull in having to cross a river in the face of the enemy, the United States Army has shown a trend of diminishing its resource capacity necessary to conduct these crossings, and is losing doctrinal focus for the task. Most significantly, doctrine does not provide an appreciation for the large impacts a river crossing has on the remainder of an operation. This analysis looks at three large-scale, opposed river crossing operations in the mechanized warfare era. All three cases involve a successful opposed river crossing, but vary in the level of operational reach or time before culmination. The variance in each case stems from the preparation for and execution of the river crossing. The analysis identifies three elements that had the greatest impact on the operational reach of units after the river crossing: the rapid employment of overwhelming strength, a deliberate plan to provide assault crossing resources regardless of existing bridges, and a detailed plan that included the transition from bridgehead to breakout operations. The recorded history of ground combat has shown that river crossing operations have always been a focal point for planners. The great military thinker Carl von Clausewitz himself devoted a chapter of his masterpiece On War to this subject. In it, he referred to the "respect in which an attack on a defended river is held by most generals." While evidence in past military theory and history repeatedly demonstrated the importance of this tactical task, the recent history of the United States Army reveals a decrease in the frequency of attacks over well-defended rivers. The United States Army has not conducted an opposed, deliberate wet gap crossing since World War II. Future combat operations, however, could require gap crossings and the Army must remain proficient in planning for and conducting them. Rivers that would require non-hasty crossing methods exist in every geographic region, meaning that any future Army operation against a conventional force could require a deliberate gap crossing. History demonstrates the importance of the tactical task of gap crossing to overall mission accomplishment. Some of the most successful gap crossings in history involved entire armies of multiple corps focused on nothing but establishing a bridgehead, as with the spring 1945 Rhine crossing's in World War II and Operation Badr in the Arab-Israeli War. History also demonstrates that operations can fail in spite of a successful gap crossing. The Allied failure in Operation Market-Garden during World War II showed that successfully crossing a river such as the Waal does not necessarily lead to operational success. If in planning and execution, commanders and their staffs do not integrate the gap crossing with other tactical actions effectively, the operation may culminate earlier than expected. Despite historical evidence that demonstrates the challenges associated with gap crossings, after a seventy-year lull in US experience with opposed crossings the United States Army gradually diminished its efforts to prepare for gap crossing operations. Army leaders reduced the number of units and associated equipment that specialize in gap crossing. Most recently, they approved updated doctrine that relegates gap crossing-once the topic of a dedicated field manual-to a single chapter of the 2011 Combined Arms Mobility manual. Training centers have noted that current units struggle to plan and execute gap crossing operations.

All three cases involve a successful opposed river crossing, but vary in the level of operational reach or time before culmination. The variance in each case stems from the preparation for and execution of the river crossing.

Deconstructing the Education-Industrial Complex in the Digital Age

Developments in the education field are affected by numerous, and often conflicting, social, cultural, and economic factors. With the increasing corporatization of education, teaching and learning paradigms are continuously altered. Deconstructing the Education-Industrial Complex in the Digital Age is an authoritative reference source for the latest scholarly research on the shifting structure of school models in response to technological advances and corporate presence in educational contexts. Highlighting a comprehensive range of pertinent topics, such as teacher education, digital literacy, and neoliberalism, this book is ideally designed for educators, professionals, graduate students, researchers, and academics interested in the implications of the education-industrial complex.
