Cloud computing technology provides the means to share physical resources among multiple users and data center tenants by exposing them as virtual resources. There is a strong industrial drive to use similar technology and concepts to provide timing sensitive services. One such is virtual networking services, so called services chains, which consist of several interconnected virtual network functi

Handling of critical situations is an important part in the architecture of an autonomous vehicle. A controller for autonomous collision avoidance is developed based on a wary strategy that assumes the least tireroad friction for which the maneuver is still feasible. Should the friction be greater, the controller makes use of this and performs better. The controller uses an acceleration-vector ref

A phenomenological study of the isolated photon production in high energy pp and pA collisions at RHIC and LHC energies is performed. Using the color dipole approach we investigate the production cross section differential in the transverse momentum of the photon considering three different phenomenological models for the universal dipole cross section. We also present the predictions for the rapi

Neoliberal and conservative actors, financed by the fossil fuel industry, have been identified as crucial parts of a climate change denialist counter movement since at least the 1980s. We claim that this intersection stems from more than just vested interest fuelling advocacy groups. By focusing on the intellectual developments and social networks of core actors in the environmental debate in Swed

Experimental and computational efforts are constantly made to elucidate mechanisms controlling cell fate decisions during development and reprogramming. One powerful computational method is to consider cell commitment and reprogramming as movements in an energy landscape. Here, we develop Computation of Energy Landscapes of Logical Gene Networks (CELLoGeNe), which maps Boolean implementation of ge

Skatteflyktslagen är ett viktigt redskap i lagstiftarens kamp mot skatteförmåner som åtnjutits genom att kringgå ordinarie skattelagstiftning. Skatteflyktsförfarande kan innefatta gränsöverskridande rättshandlingar till andra medlemsstater inom EU. Att tillämpa skatteflyktslagen i de situationerna måste då göras i enlighet med EU-rätten och de fördragsfriheter som säkerställer en fri inre marknad.The Swedish tax evasion law is an important tool in the legislator’s struggle against tax advantages gained by avoiding primary tax law. The arrangements made to avoid tax sometimes involve cross-border legal transactions within the EU. If the tax evasion law is to be applied in those situations the law must be in compliance with EU-law and the treaty freedoms that ensures a free internal market.

Uppsatsen utforskar samhällsorganisationer utan stat, och syftar till en demokratisk utvärdering av två fall: revolutionens Spanien och zapatiströrelsen i mexikanska Chiapas. Vårt syfte är att kartlägga praktiker från dessa samhällen och försöka påvisa att de är förenliga med en stark deltagardemokrati. Fallen är sinsemellan väldigt olika, men har gemensamt att det i båda situationer funnits en st

China and India are two countries that had been in the positions of ally and rival in modern history. After the Cold War, there was a change in the relationship between China and India. India, being one of the important neighboring countries of China, its diplomatic and military strategy holds the key to China's security in its western border and has great impact on China's foreign policy.

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

The purpose of this thesis is to investigate how the latency in mobile networks affect the quality of highly demanding and sensitive applications running on it. Furthermore, this thesis will provide some information to what is going on in the field of Cloud Computing and the Internet of Things. It will hopefully spark a discussion about what possibilities will come with the development of the Clou

Med ofta stora summor involverade i ärenden relaterade till osäkra hamnar är det av stort intresse för både redaren och befraktaren att etablera deras respektive risk de har under en resa. Den här uppsatsen behandlar relationen mellan redaren och befraktaren då redaren har åsamkats skada på grund av en osäker hamn. Frågan är till vilken grad det är möjligt att hålla befraktaren ansvarig för en såWith often large amounts involved, the issue of unsafe ports is of great interest for both the shipowner and the charterer in order to establish what kind of risk they would bear under a voyage. This thesis deals with the relationship between the shipowner and the charterer when the shipowner has suffered a loss due to an unsafe port. The question is to what extent it is possible to hold the char

The Arab spring caught both scholars and regimes by surprise, bringing rapid changes to a previously thought stable region. The events of the Arab spring did not impact all Arab states in an equal matter though, and while some regimes fell, other seemed to be largely unaffected. Applying theories of youth bulges and demographic transition this study analyses the age-structure and GNI per capita fo

The purpose of this paper is to answer the question concerning NATO and how it has changed after the end of the Cold War. To do this we will look and analyse four different conflicts that NATO has been involved in since the end of the Cold War. These four conflicts are those of Bosnia, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Libya. To correctly analyse these conflict in the context of NATO we will use security th

A common problem in geocoding is that the postal addresses as requested by the user differ from the addresses as described in the database. The online, open source geocoder called Nominatim is one of the most used geocoders nowadays. However, this geocoder lacks the interactivity that most of the online geocoders already offer. The Nominatim geocoder provides no feedback to the user while typing a

Our main finding was that creativity could be understood as a symbolic. The perceptions of creativity can be contagious, when the routinized worker associates him or herself with the creative outcome of the team. For the employee the symbolic meaning might also work as a distraction from alienation and provide more meaning to performing routinized tasks. We also saw how routines can be perceived e

Det finns idag omfattande forskning om försörjningskedjans roll för produkttillgängligheten (Aastrup & Kotzab, 2010; Corsten & Gruen, 2003; Grant & Fernie, 2008; Trautrims et al. 2010). Dessvärre är forskningen på butiksnivå och ”de sista 20 metrarna” mindre uppmärksammad. Detta trots konstateranden om butiken som den felande länken, vilket resulterat i att personalens roll inte beakta

Group Selektivplaner at E.ON Elnät Sverige AB develops protective relay settings and perform other calculations on the transmission grid. One of the tasks is to perform fault location calculations on the effective grounded 130 kV grid. To perform these calculations PSS/E and a proprietary add called Nimi is used. There are various reasons to perform fault location calculations. The foremost of the

Fullständig version Syftet med undersökningen är att redogöra för generationsskifte utifrån ett explicit identitetsperspektiv. Vilken roll spelar individers identitet i generationsskiftet inom ett svenskt familjeföretag? Familjeföretaget utgör en förlängning av familjen själva och därmed en stor del av deras individuella identiteter. Att tillhöra ägarfamiljen medför att individerna upplever ett an

Uppsatsen behandlar ämnet motförhöret som en outforskad spelplan i förhållande till dess användning i den svenska rättsprocessen. Uppsatsen kommer vidare att framföra de påverkansfaktorer som kan påverka muntliga utsagor och dess komparation med vikten att framföra en sådan överensstämmande version av verkligheten för rätten som möjligt i anledning av dess bevisbedömning.
