The breakdown of plastics in our oceans is one of our times biggest challenges. What happens when these plastics are broken down into pieces too small to see is still a mystery. Nanoplastics is a relatively new area of research and much more studies need to be done before we can get a perspective of how big the problem is. To be able to study these plastics we need a way to attain nanoplastic samp
The Danish asylum system has experienced radical changes during 2019 in regards to asylum and refugee rights with the right-wing governing coalition’s introduction of Act 140.

Triple-win projects have been failing in Sub-Saharan Africa. The top-down approach of policymakers and donors lead to the priorities of local stakeholders not being accounted for which in turn leads to trade-offs. Instead of disregarding triple-wins, researchers have suggested they could be used as building blocks in the emerging pathways literature, therefore accounting for a broader set of goals
5G supports enormous increase in data rate. Massive antenna beamforming is expected to play a key role in increasing capacity in case of multi-user MIMO and coverage in case of single-user MIMO. The large number of antennas in massive MIMO system will lead to enormous amount of channel state information being stored in the memory and this necessitates the use of compression techniques for efficien
When an internet user opens a web page containing an advertising slot, how is it determined which ad is shown? Today, the most common software-based approach to trading advertising slots is real time bidding: as soon as the user begins to load the web page, an auction for the slot is held in real time, and the highest bidder gets to display their advertisement of choice. Auction bidding is perform
Förhöjda halter koldioxid! Hur dåligt är det egentligen? Inledning: Flera forskare har i egna studier kommit fram till att koldioxid har en negativ effekt på hälsa och prestation. Vår atmosfär är en av faktorerna som gör att vi kan leva här på jorden. Atmosfären består till stor del av kväve (78%) och syre (21%) och lite över en procent andra gaser. Bland dessa gaser förekommer koldioxid.

These reviews will be divided into trends in order to consider the reason why tourist decides to visit the Kumari Chowk. This will be done in the light
The growing complexity of the concept of gender highlights the importance for a deeper understanding of the diversity underlying this construct. Recent studies have shown large numbers of individuals experiencing non-conforming feelings with their sex assigned at birth, emphasising the need to gain a better understanding of gender identities outside the binary system, one of these being non-binary
Med en allt hårdare konkurrens på den svenska betaltjänstemarknaden har det blivit viktigare för tjänsteleverantörerna att försöka tillgodose konsumentens behov och krav. Den ökade konkurrensen bland e- handelsföretag har gjort att företagen är beroende av att det ska gå snabbt och enkelt för kunden att göra sin betalning, annars är risken stor att kunden avbryter köpet.
