    Keywords : Indigenous; Social Movement; Europeanization; Political Opportunity Structure;

    Abstract : In recent years, relations between the European Union and the Saami, the indigenous people of Fenno-Scandinavia who are mobilising to claim their rights, particularly in terms of rights to land and resources, cultural preservation and political representation, have multiplied.

  4. 14. Comparing the Locality Preservation of Z-order Curves and Hilbert Curves

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Alex Nordin; Adam Telles; [2023-08-03]
    Keywords : space-filling curve; software engineering; software testing;

    Abstract : Developing and testing software in the automotive industry and in the research of autonomous vehicles requires the costly querying of multidimensional data recorded from such a vehicle’s various sensors. Through encoding such data using space filling curves, faster queries could be achieved by reducing multiple dimensions into a singular dimension, while exploiting the patterns that emerge in the one-dimensional representation to still get accurate search results.
