Around 20% of all people worldwide (1.5 billion) do not have an official and legally recognized document as proof of their identity. This affect, for example, their right to vote, to open a bank account, obtain formal employment or seek legal compensation. In other words, their lack of proof for their legal existence excludes them from participating in society on all various levels. This was ackno

Cloud is used more than ever before, and the trend seems to continue as more and more organizations choose to use cloud services such as database, storage, computing, or web servers. As more organizations choose cloud, the question of which cloud platform that best suits their needs is more relevant than ever. Within this thesis, the four largest cloud platforms have been evaluated to give future

Computer security is still an often neglected field even though the IT industry is huge and still growing. Making sure that systems are secure is something that is very important but can take a lot of man hours. This thesis contains the research and documentation for an auditing tool created on behalf of a company that specialises in computer security, TrueSec. The audit tool uses the log files th

Agriculture Development Led Industrialization (ADLI) has been government development strategy since 1990s; and its objective was to develop a market oriented modernized agriculture sector, with the development of the industry to follow this as a next development stage using the raw material from agriculture. The strategies for the agriculture development have focussed on extension and research ser

Kommunalt självstyre utgör en fundamental grund för statsskicket, och lyfts tillsammans med parlamentarismen fram som det svenska folkstyrets grundpelare i 1 kap. 1 § RF. Denna uppsats övergripande syfte är att beskriva och analysera principen om det kommunala självstyret så som den kommer till uttryck i grundlag och i lagstiftning som ålägger kommunerna olika uppgifter (kommunernas obligatoriskaThe principle of local self-government (swe. kommunalt självstyre) is a fundamental basis in the organization of the Swedish state, and is pointed out along with parliamentarism as one of the cornerstones of Swedish democracy in 1 Ch. 1 § The Instrument of Government Act (regeringsformen). This essay's overall purpose is to describe and analyze the principle of municipal self-government as it

Low-energy buildings are nowadays often used in common speech, for selling or promotion – everything has to be ”low energy”. But how do you know if your house is a low energy building? And how do the manufacturers of the building components know? Is there an official definition, what technical criteria do these buildings have to fulfill? The growing of low-energy buildings causes a demand of compl

Background: Management of traumatic spinal cord injury is complex and depends on a multidisciplinary approach involving pre-hospital services, spinal surgery, intensive care unit treatment and specialized rehabilitation. International clinical practice guidelines for the handling of these patients offer specific recommendations regarding transportation, radiological investigations, timing of surge

The aim of this study was to assess aquifer salinity risk by identifying high-risk land-use zones and proposing a new paradigm for groundwater resource management under salinization pressure. Salinity risk modeling was conducted with consideration of land-use patterns and agricultural production in the study region. The results revealed that approximately 26% of the aquifer lies within high-risk s

För att öka vår förståelse av informationsdelning i försörjningskedjor så är studiens syfte trefaldigt: att granska och analysera existerande akademisk litteratur för att beskriva och strukturera forskningsområdet; att empiriskt utforska informationsdelning i en försörjningskedja som representerar mer än tre led; och att utforska kontextuella faktorer genom litteraturgenomgång och empirisk datainsTo increase our understanding of information sharing in supply chains the purposeof this licentiate was threefold: to review and analyze existing academic literature to describe and structure the research field; to empirically explore information sharing in a supply chain representing more than three tiers; and to explore contingency factors through literature reviews and empirical data collection

The question whether very weak, low frequency magnetic fields can affect biological matter is still under debate. The theoretical possibility of such an interaction is often questioned and the site of interaction in the cell is unknown. In the present study, the influence of extremely weak 60?Hz magnetic fields on the transport of Ca2+ was studied in a biological system consisting of highly purifi

This letter presents a wideband cross-slot antenna (CSA) with inductor loadings for dual polarization. The effects of the ground size on the impedance are investigated. To achieve a compact size, a very small ground having the same hypotenuse length as the slot is used. The inductor loadings are used at both ends of the slot to reduce the size further. Simulated results show that the loaded induct

In a Swedish sample of persons eligible for disability services and aged 55 years or older in 2012, persons (n = 601) with autism spectrum disorder diagnoses registered in specialist care were identified. Register data concerning diagnoses of other psychiatric disorders, psychiatric care, and psychiatric medication were reviewed. More than 60% had been in contact with psychiatric care. The majorit

Popular Abstract in Swedish Sociala rättigheter och socialt medborgarskap är begrepp som ofta används för att beskriva den svenska välfärdsstaten. I ett internationellt perspektiv utpekas den svenska välfärdspolitiken som generell, generös och nästintill universell. Men i början av 1990-talet genomgick den svenska välfärdsstaten en djup kris. Arbetslösheten steg snabbt och sysselsättningen sjönk. Universalism, social rights and social citizenship are often considered as key concepts to describe the Swedish welfare state. However, in the beginning of the 1990s, the Swedish welfare state experienced a severe economic recession. In only a couple of years, the unemployment rate increased sharply as well as the number of social assistance recipients. These changes constitute the background for

Video-on-Demand (VoD) and video sharing services account for a large percentage of the total downstream Internet traffic. In order to provide a better understanding of the load on these services, we analyze and model a workload trace from a VoD service provided by a major Swedish TV broadcaster. The trace contains over half a million requests generated by more than 20000 unique users. Among other

Worship space acoustics have been established as an important part of a nation’s cultural heritage and area of acoustic research, but more research is needed regarding the region of northern Europe. This paper describes the historical acoustics of an important abbey church in Sweden in the 1470s. A digital historical reconstruction is developed. Liturgical material specific to this location is rec

Aim To explore whether the acute 30-day burden of COVID-19 on health care use has changed from February 2020 to February 2022. Methods In all Norwegians (N = 493 520) who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 in four pandemic waves (February 26th, 2020 –February 16th, 2021 (1st wave dominated by the Wuhan strain), February 17th–July 10th, 2021 (2nd wave dominated by the Alpha variant), July 11th–December

Spatial multiplexing using Massive MIMO has been shown to have very promising properties, including large gains in spectral efficiency and several orders of magnitude lower transmit power, as compared to today's access schemes. The properties of massive MIMO have been studied mostly for theoretical channels with independent and identically distributed (i.i.d.) complex Gaussian coefficients. To eff

I Sverige har under de senaste åren ungefär 19 000 barn under 15 år årligen misstänkts för att ha begått ett brott. Det finns dock ingen bra samlad statistik då barn under 15 år inte kan lagföras för brottet. När ett barn misstänks för ett brott har polisen en anmälningsplikt till socialtjänsten. Om det begångna brottet har minst ett års fängelse i straffskalan eller om socialtjänsten begär det skDuring the last few years approximately 19 000 children below the age of 15 have been suspected for committing an offence. However there is no comprehensive statistics when children below the age of 15 cannot be charged for the offence. The police must report all children who are suspected for committing a crime to the local social services. If the minimum sentence for the committed crime is one y
