Predictable and repeatable execution is the key to ensuring functional correctness for real-time systems. Scheduling algorithms are designed to generate schedules that repeat after a certain amount of time has passed. However, this repeatability is also a vulnerability when side-channel attacks are considered. Side-channel attacks are attacks based on information gained from the implementation of

This thesis examines the idea of trade union internationalism in the wake of globalization. The integration of the world’s economies has intensified the competition between the workers of the world. The thesis argues that the struggle for competitiveness has eroded the foundation for international solidarity. This implies a great paradox for trade unions, stuck between the idea of internationalism

Resting upon the 4-decades long multidisciplinary research interest in the phenomenon of burnout, it is commonly agreed that its scope goes far beyond just individual problem area. Burnout is a serious problem enough to have an impact over the long-term organizational environment and labor productivity in the entire economy. It gains particular relevance in light of the current policy and research

Straffprocessuella tvångsmedel utgör ett viktigt verktyg för polisers och åklagares möjlighet att utreda och bekämpa brott, samtidigt som de utan tillräckliga rättssäkerhetsgarantier kan innebära stora rättsförluster för den individ som drabbas. Regelverket för användning av de straffprocessuella tvångsmedlen utgör därför en intresseavvägning mellan dessa värden. Framställningen tar en normativ utCoercive measures in the criminal process are important tools for the effectiveness of the administration of criminal justice but can without proper mechanisms for individual rights protection amount to grave violations of the individual’s integrity. Therefore, the rules for the practice of these coercive measures are fundamentally a balancing between the state’s and the individual’s interests. Th

This thesis is a field study which was conducted for 10 weeks in the regional capital city of Casamance named Ziguinchor in Senegal. By using tools from feminist critical theory and methodology such as participatory observations and feminist in-depth interviews with women organisations in Ziguinchor, the purpose of the thesis is to understand how gender roles affect women and women organisations s

Nyfikenhet om stjärnorna och galaxerna runt om oss har fascinerat civilisationer i tusentals år. Rörelsen, ljuset, och mönster av himlakroppar har studerats av astronomer som försker förstå universum och dess utveckling. En fascinerande aspekt av studien av ljuset som emitteras från avlägsna stjärnor är att man observerar det förflutna. Dessutom är det detta ljus och strålning som flyr stjärnorna To understand the evolution of our galaxy, the chemical abundance patterns and trends within the stars of the different regions are explored. The process of synthesizing these elements reveals key details about the way the stars and, therefore, the galaxy formed. This project focused on the element potassium, K, and specifically its absorption line 7699 Å. The local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE)

Omorganisationer genomsyrar dagens organisationer. Trots denna konstanta förändringsprocess, så visar forskning att runt 70% av omorganisationerna inte når sina mål. Denna kvalitativa intervju studie av Polismyndighetens omfattande omorganisation 2015 tillkom då även detta reformarbetet visade tecken på motgång .Syftet med uppsatsen är att utifrån ett meningsskapande och kommunikations perspektiv

The objective of this study is to investigate how European trade unions and governments in France, Sweden and the UK have reacted to the rapid growth of the platform economy. The platform economy (also commonly referred to as gig-economy, sharing economy etc.) including Uber, Airbnb and Deliveroo etc., has already managed to transform some sectors of the economy and contributed to the creation of

I dagens samhälle utövar en ansenlig del av världens befolkning inte en tillräckligt mycket fysisk aktivitet; konsekvenserna är omtalade och välkända, en stor del av framförallt de industrialiserade ländernas befolkning är överviktig, andelen som drabbas av hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar växer och typ 2 diabetes sprids snabbt över världen. Den bristande fysiska aktiviteten förekommer inte endast hos vuxIn today’s society many children are struggling to exercise enough, this is especially the case for children with severe cerebral palsy, who often spend much time sedentary, which leads to several serious health risks. To mitigate these risks, the standard care in Sweden has been a static standing training (StS) regime. However, this training regime is no magic bullet, due to the relatively low in

När en betongpelare dimensioneras ska dess kritiska tvärsnitt bestämmas och dimensioneras med hänsyn tagen till pelarens slankhet och andra ordningens effekter. Dessa parametrar kan begränsa pelarens bärförmåga och riskera knäckning istället för att tvärsnittets kapacitet blir avgörande. För att uppskatta pelarens slankhet beskrivs i Eurokod t.ex. den nominella styvhetsmetoden och den generella meWhen designing a concrete column, the critical cross section must be determined with regard to the column slenderness and second order effects. These parameters could limit the columns resistance by the risk of buckling instead of the cross sections resistance deciding the limit state. Eurocode describes among three methods the nominal stiffness method and the general method to approximate the sle

Humanitarian organizations (HOs) are the main authority in long-term refugee camps. However, literature criticizes the economic relevance of HOs in a long-term refugee camp. My thesis applies the discussion to a case study in Kakuma camp. The study proposes two research questions: 1) To what extent does the long-term presence of HOs affect the market system and economic life of refugees in Kakuma

The galloping pace of development in the field of wireless communication has left the world astounded over the last decade. But this has also led to a wild and inexcusable extravagant expenditure of energy. Due to the dynamic nature of wireless network, it has become imperative to focus more on energy efficiency and achieve desired Quality of Service (QoS). The challenge of diminishing the carbon

Transport planning has been in favour of and prioritised motorised transport for almost a century. During this time, cars have been given street space at the expense of more sustainable transport modes. The auto-normative paradigm thus created a spatial imbalance, an injustice, in the amount of space that are devoted to the different transport modes. The main objective of this thesis is to analyse

Currently most aromatic compounds used in industry are derived from unsustainable petro-chemical feedstock. However the depolymerization of lignocellulosic biomass generates a wide range of aromatic compounds that could be further valued through microbial conversion with microorgansims such as the bacterium Pseudomonas putida. The aim of the present project was to develop a reproducible methodolog

The purpose of this journal is to further investigate how a brand, during a limited time frame, can change an unwanted image by challenging the stereotypical perceptions of their brand by adding an element of surprise. The research is conducted through a multiple-case study consisting of four cases: Mercedes-Benz, Opel, McDonald’s and Lidl. A resulting matrix has been developed to demonstrate the

Background/introduction: E-commerce is becoming a natural part of retail business. In order to achieve a competitive edge, companies are shifting to omni channel retailing where channel integration is explored in the search for potential improvements in connection with customer offer and costs. One solution is to integrate inventories and offer improved order fulfilment by using both warehouse and

Purpose: The aim of this paper is to explore how brands’ greening strategies affect consumers’ green brand image. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study is based on a qualitative approach, researching one case, McDonald’s greening strategies compared with the consumers’ brand image. The consumers’ brand image was collected with the help of 12 semi-structured interviews. Findings: The research s
