The use of Internet Protocol (IP) in the security industry is increasing but little is known about the relationship between end users and the merger of traditional physical security and IT otherwise referred to as convergence in the security trade press. Markus Lahtinen of the LUSAX project examines the growth of convergence in the security industry and discusses complexities of this relationship.

Popular Abstract in Swedish Datorsimuleringar, konsten att modellera verkliga eller tänkta händelser med hjälp av en dator och ett lämpligt simuleringsprogram, har blivit ett dominerande verktyg inom tekniska och naturvetenskapliga områden, likväl inom akademiska och industriella tillämpningar. Trots att experimentella studier har ett vedertaget erkännande inom diverse forskningsstudier har den snThis thesis concerns the study of Fluid-Structure interaction phenomena among deforming and (non-deforming) vibrating objects under unsteady fluid fl ow exposures. This multi-physical phenomenon is widely encountered in real-life situations and therefore it is of significant importance to understand the underlying physics. The trend is that both industrial and research facilities aim for developi

The present thesis reports on results from the fabrication technology development and the corresponding electrical transport measurements of low-dimensional semiconductor structures. The focus of the work has been directed towards two parts: the ballistic transport in nanostructure devices at room temperature, and the development of a charge-sensing technique for quantum dots (QD) in nanowires.

A virtual haptic-audio drawing program prototype designed for visually impaired children, has been gradually developed in a design-evaluation loop involving users in five stages. Four qualitative evaluations focused on recognizing drawn shapes and creati

Vår frågeställning i denna artikel är: Hur talar man om etniska grupper så att de andra samtalspartnerna inte uppfattar det sagda som stereotypi och tecken på dålig bildning? Med utgångspunkt i ett svenskt och två tjeckiska material visar vi med en lång rad exempel hur 'vi'&endash;'dom' kontrasten formuleras av talaren och förhandlas vidare med övriga samtalspartner. I samtalsexemplen illustre

In this paper we present a study of the value creating contribution of boards of directors by examining the association between the boardroom culture, boards’ strategic involvement and corporate innovation. We embed our study in theoretical arguments from modern team production theory and contrast this perspective against the dominating agency theoretic view on boards and governance. Based on our
