  1. 6. Concerns of Power and Policy in the Use of Biometrics by UNHCR

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Teologiska institutionen

    Author : Tamara Lynn Larter; [2023]
    Keywords : biometrics; Biometric Identification Management System; BIMS; biopolitics; digital technology; humanitarian governance; refugees; UNHCR;

    Abstract : This paper investigates the growing concerns surrounding the utilisation of biometric technology within humanitarian organisations, with a specific focus on the Biometric Information Management System (BIMS) operated by UNHCR. The study is based on a literature review in which themes of concern are first identified in theoretical literature followed by an examination of empirical literature (here termed ‘refugee-including literature’) to see if the concerns are shared.

  3. 7. Viscoelasticity of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites : Measuring the time-dependence of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) composite’s mechanical properties, using digital image correlation

    University essay from KTH/Materialvetenskap

    Author : Marine Jeanne Debouvry; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The viscoelastic behavior of a delignified birch and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composite was investigated, in an effort to learn more about the mechanical properties of transparent wood-polymer biocomposites. Tensile creep tests with constant load were performed for native wood, non-delignified, and delignified wood-polymer composites. READ MORE

  4. 8. The Hidden Effects of Inflation. An Examination of Bracket Creep and its Implications for the Income Tax: Evidence for Spain (1979-1987)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Ekonomisk-historiska institutionen

    Author : Xabier Moriana Armendariz; [2023]
    Keywords : Inflation; Taxation; Microsimulation; ETI; Business and Economics;

    Abstract : This paper examines the impact of inflation on the income tax in Spain from 1979 to 1987. By introducing a new approach using dynamic microsimulation and the Elasticity of Taxable Income (ETI), we analyze three dimensions of the tax: revenue, progressivity, and redistribution. READ MORE

  5. 9. Optimization of Material Cost and Carbon Footprint of Flat Reinforced Concrete Slabs with Simple Steel Piles : Designed according to Eurocode and Swedish appendix EKS

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Oskar Lönn; [2023]
    Keywords : Optimization; RC slab; Material cost; API;

    Abstract : When designing reinforced concrete (RC) slabs with steel piles various variables must be considered, from the internal force to the distance of piles. An endless number of designs are possible, leaving space for optimizing designs. READ MORE

  6. 10. Evaluation of pretension losses in heated screw joint

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskap och matematik

    Author : Joel Svensson; [2022]
    Keywords : screw joint; clamping force; thermal load;

    Abstract : The heated flow within the silencers of heavy transport vehicles can easily reach temperatures of hundreds of degrees Celsius. The thermal loads can cause problems for certain components on a silencer. READ MORE
