Abstract:

This study examines the ways in which residents of a Canadian gated community in southern Ontario, Canada socially construct the meaning of both "community" and "safety". In particular, the study examines whether the assumptions and findings on community safety found in the literature on American gated communities apply to similar communities in Canada. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were conducted with four participants to explore the underlying assumptions and stereotypes that participants used in the discussions of community safety. Participants defined a safe community as one that

The purpose of the study was to document and examine the experiences and perspectives of students and staff who were affected by the closure of Mount Rogers Combined School in 2010. Mount Rogers Combined School was established in Grayson County, Virginia, by the concerted efforts of volunteers and community members who valued education and considered schooling a top priority for the area. The original four-room school was built of rocks and housed grades 1 through 11, taught by four teachers, one of whom also served as the principal (Grayson County School Board [GCSB], 1993).

This has serious implications for the spread of multiple drug-resistant tuberculosis. The relationship between the patient and health care providers is one of the main determinants of compliance to medical treatment.

Abstract:

Over the past three decades, Soho has become known, both nationally and internationally, as London's gay district, functioning as a place where gay men could openly interact and express their sexual identities while also developing a sense of community. At the same time, Soho also worked as a bridge between these men and British society, laying the ground for those legal and social changes that contributed to a shift in attitudes towards homosexuality at the start of the millennium. However, many gay-targeted venues in the district have recently gone out of business or are struggling to stay o

Currently, Android is the most popular operating system for mobile devices, but at the same time, the market for Android devices is heavily fragmented in terms of available versions, types of devices, models, form-factors and manufactures.

Testing on a set of the most popular devices is more realistic but can be expensive, which makes it much more difficult for individual developers to create high quality applications.

Abstract:

Smartphones and other Internet of Things devices have become a rapidly growing topic. Along with the growth comes new technologies, likeWeb Real- Time Communication (WebRTC), that enables richer services to be built for the devices. These kind of services are typically consumed on-demand, in shorter periods at a time. Likewise have cloud computing exploded in popularity during the last years. Cloud computing offers compelling advantages, such as rapid elasticity and on-demand usage, that allow servers' resource utilization to be more effcient. The flexibility of allocating and releasing resour

Abstract:

There are many factors that influence health and health care seeking. Although many of these factors are similar across populations, exactly how they interact and influence the actions of people is often unique to a population in the context of the environment they live in. The current study, a population-based cross sectional survey, identifies three specific geographically diverse populations in rural areas of Kenya, to gain information regarding overall influences on health care seeking, and also information specific to each geographical area to directly target the health needs of the indiv

Abstract:

In the search and development of more participatory models for infrastructure development and management, in this dissertation, we investigate models for the financing, deployment, and operation of network and cloud computing infrastructures. Our main concern is to overcome the inherent exclusion in participation in the processes of development and management and in the right of use in the current dominant models. Our work starts by studying in detail the model of Guifi.net, a successful bottom-up initiative for building network infrastructure, generally referred to as a community networks. We

Abstract:

Dyviks samfällighet ligger i Nynäshamns kommun och består av totalt 86 fastigheter. Samfälligheten sköts av den samfällighetsförening som alla fastighetsägare är medlemmar i. Föreningen arbetar på ideell basis. Föreningens verkställande ledning, styrelsen, arbetar med att admini-strera föreningens medlemmar, fastigheter samt egendomar. Dessa administrativa arbetsuppgifter har utförts på ett manuellt och tidskrävande sätt. Styrelsen har därför efterfrågat ett digitaliserat system som kan utföra många administrativa uppgifter med en mer automatiserad metod och ökad pålitlighet. Projektets syfte
