In recent years many devices such as smartphones, smart watches and laptops have started being equipped with embedded SIM cards called eSIM, which have the possibility to be reprogrammed with new subscription data through a process called remote SIM provisioning. To enable the eSIM in these devices, the mobile operators have had to implement new systems for the remote SIM provisioning process, and

Forskning inom interstellära objekt, det vill säga objekt som har sitt ursprung utanför vårt solsystem, har pågått under decennier, men det var inte förrän 2017 som det första interstellära objektet i solsystemet upptäcktes. Det fick namnet 1I/'Oumuamua och skapade ett stort intresse både inom forskarvärlden och hos allmänheten. Två år senare, 2019, upptäcktes det andra och senaste interstelläResearch on InterStellar Objects (ISOs) has been done for several decades, however, the first observed ISO in the Solar system was only recently discovered in 2017. It was named 1I/'Oumuamua and was only passing though the Solar system, but this may not be the case for all objects of its kind. For instance, one could gain a bound orbit around the Sun if the right amount of nudge is acquired wh

Livstids fängelse kunde innan 2006 endast tidsbestämmas genom det s.k. nådeinstitutet. Genom införandet av lag (2006:45) om omvandling av fängelse på livstid utökades möjligheten för livstidsfångar att få sitt straff tidsbestämt. Syftet med införande av lagen var att förbättra förutsebarheten, inte bara för de intagna utan även för de dömdas anhöriga och KRV vid dess arbete med de intagna. I motiBefore 2006, the only way life sentences could be converted was through governmental clemency.
