CityGML is an important standard to present 3D geometry, topology, semantics and appearance that together with 3D city models, which have had increased use within analysis and applications, such as emergency response, energy consumption and occupancy measurement. However, the standard’s querying and integration capabilities can still be further explored. One way to do this is through the Semantic

Bakgrunden till denna kandidatuppsats ligger i att vi har identifierat utsatthet och kriminalisering av personer med funktionsnedsättningar. Syftet med arbetet är därför att undersöka vad som leder till denna utsatthet, hur den kan te sig samt vilka sätt detta eventuellt kan förbättras på. Utgångspunkterna är att med tidigare forskning från andra länder som berör detta ämne kunna applicera den kun

Injektionsrum är anläggningar dit tungt beroendesjuka kan gå för att injicera opioider i en hygienisk miljö vid sidan av utbildad sjukvårdspersonal som kan övervaka och vara till hjälp för att det ska ske under så säkra former som möjligt.
