Seeking asylum at embassies. A right to entry under international law?

Is the processing of asylum claims at embassies and the grant of ‘humanitarian visas’ within the framework of Protected Entry Procedures a mere expression of the political benevolence on behalf of potential host states vis-à-vis protection seekers, or do both reflect legal obligations owed to the individual applicant? If so, does international law provide for a right to entry in such cases? In thi

Channel measurement and characterization of interference between residential femto-cell systems

Interference between femto-cell systems is a critical factor for the deployment of such systems in, e.g., resedential areas. In this paper we report on a residential channel measurement campaign focusing on the channel properties for femtocell systems. We characterize basic channel properties such as delay spread and interference levels between different furnished residential houses. In addition w

The history of the Swedish ATM: Sparfrämjandet and Metior

In this paper we describe the first decades of the history of the Swedish ATM (Automated teller machine). Sweden was one of the pioneers in using ATMs, starting with cash dispensers or cash machines in 1967. The first machine was made operational and shown to the press on July 6, 1967, in Uppsala at Upsala Sparbank, only one week after the first cash machine in the world was made operational in th

Individual Metering and Charging of Heat and Hot Water in Multi-Apartment Buildings

Popular Abstract in Swedish Europaparlamentet vill minska primärenergianvändningen samt minska beroendet av energiimport till unionen (EU Direktiv 2012/27/EU). Ett hjälpmedel för att uppnå detta mål kan vara användandet av individuell mätning och debitering (IMD) av värme och varmvatten i flerbostadshus. IMD innebär att boende i flerbostadshus endast ska betala för deras egen konsumtion, vilket skIndividual metering and charging (IMC) means that tenants in multi-apartment buildings should pay only for their own energy consumption, which gives an economic incentive for energy-conscious behaviour. In April, 2014, Swedish legislation about energy metering in buildings (SFS 2014:267) was passed by the Swedish Parliament as an implementation of the EU Energy Efficiency Directive 2012/27/EU. The

Broadband array antennas using a self-complementary antenna array and dielectric slabs

It is well known that planar self-complementary structures have a constant input impedance and hence they are good candidates for ultra-wideband antennas. However, introduction of a ground plane breaks the symmetry and destroys the broadband property. In this paper, it is shown that stacking of dielectric slabs above the antenna elements can reduce the degrading eject of the ground plane. The diel
