Nu för tiden använder människor världen över, medvetet eller omedvetet, molntjänster, där stora mängder personlig information placeras och lagras. Personuppgifter är en av de mest värdefulla tillgångar ett företag kan inneha, och således utnyttjar företag runt om i världen sådan personlig information för kommersiella syften. Samtidigt har statliga myndigheters övervakning av personer och insamlingToday, people all around the world, consciously or unconsciously, use services provided by cloud computing where large amounts of personal data is placed and stored. Personal data is one of the most valuable assets a company can hold, and therefore companies utilise such data for commercial purposes. At the same time, the surveillance powers and the collection of personal data have increased among

With a steady development of technology, the use of Model Predictive Control (MPC) has become more and more popular since the computation time has gone down. With this increase, a need for determining which MPC algorithm is good for solving a certain type of MPC problem has occurred which would facilitate the choice of algorithm and also could increase the performance. One of the determining aspec

Nonconsensual condom removal innebär att en person villkorar ett samlag med kondomanvändning, medan den andra personen under samlaget tar av kondomen utan samtycke. Alexandra Brodsky, författaren till den första och hittills enda, artikeln avseende nonconsensual condom removal, framhåller att kvinnor som blivit utsatta för nonconsensual condom removal har upplevt någon slags kränkning. De har dockNonconsensual condom removal refers to when someone preconditions sexual intercourse with the use of a condom, while the other person, during the intercourse, removes the condom without consent.

In this thesis, the power dynamics underpinning the relationship between USAIDfunded humanitarian organizations and U.S governmental agencies – in relation to the Global War on Terror (GWoT) - are critically investigated. To this end, a Foucauldian lens of ’disciplinary power’ is utilized to uncover U.S governmental agencies’ employment of disciplinary practices categorized as surveillance, correc

An ongoing trend the last couple of years has been the intense reporting of an increased amount of deliberate vehicle fires in Sweden. As the overall assumption in society is that the number of deliberate vehicle fires is steadily increasing, a statistic model trying to investigate this was made. In 1998, the share of deliberate car fires were estimated to 12%, the same number in 2015 was 38%, ind
