Vehicles equipped with sensors can participate inmobile crowdsourcing applications. Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks(VANETs) based on Dedicated Short Range Communication(DSRC) are used to carry sensing data. However, multi-hoptransmissions for gathering data to Road Side Units (RSUs) inVANETs suffer from low data rate and long end-to-end delay,which can hardly meet the QoS requirements of delay-sensitive

Children’s biographies are only rarely and more recently considered. In this paper, we make a case for thinking biographically about children’s relational lives. Using two qualitative case studies from research with children in middle childhood, in the UK and Sweden, we attend to the materiality of children’s biographies. We explore the way in which home spaces, possessions, family mementoes and m

John Cassian’s writings reveal an extensive education. In his works, he reflects on his own education, such as a case of mnemotechnical distraction, and also provides education for his readers. But it is also clear that he employs his own rhetorical education by using conscious rhetorical strategies. This third aspect is the focus of this article. In Late Antique higher education, the chreia was o

Förtal har, mot bakgrund av #metoo-rörelsens framväxt, fått ökad samhällelig uppmärksamhet. Främst kvinnor har blivit dömda för förtal i samband med offentliga uttalanden om upplevelser av sexuella övergrepp, där dem pekat ut en viss man som deras förövare. Offentliga uttalanden om en annans brotts-lighet eller förkastlighet, trots dess sanning, är kriminaliserat i Sverige. San-ningsbevisning tillDefamation has, in the context of the #metoo movement, received increased social attention. Mainly women, have been convicted of defamation in relation to public statements about experiences of sexual assault, in which they have identified a certain man as their perpetrator.

Projektplan. Ett byggprojekt kräver att man har tillstånd till att bygga. För att få det tillståndet ansöker man om bland annat bygglov och bygganmälan. Det krävs när man ska göra nybygge och tillbyggnad. Bygglovet behandlar idag bla områdes regler enligt detaljplan och miljöregler. Medans bygganmälan behandlar det tekniska aspekterna. Hur kommer dessa två handlingar att påverkas efter det att lag

The thesis explores the obligation in international law to protect the ecological integrity of transboundary watercourses.

This paper seeks to expand our lens on educational desires, parenting and shifting notions of childhood and learning in East Asia and beyond. While not explicitly centered on migration, I suggest that the educational mobilities needs to be understood in relation to a growing tension between parents’ desire to achieve conventional success and the desire to nurture the child’s emotional well-being.

Despite long‐standing interest in the evolutionary role of plant hormones, relatively few studies have used hormonally manipulated phenotypes to address questions about phenotypic evolution in plants.
