  • Services to Citizens in the EU in Facts and Figures
    161/2007 - 27 November 2007 Consumers in Europe Services to citizens in the EU in facts and figures How many EU households have only mobile phones? For how long do they talk per day on their mobile phones? How many inhabitants are served by each post office in the Member States? How many Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) are there per inhabitant in the EU? How do Europeans prefer to pay for their purchases? Answers to these questions and many more can be found in the publication1 "Consumers in Europe – facts and figures", jointly published by Eurostat, the Statistical Office of the European Communities and the General Directorate Health & Consumer Protection of the European Commission. This third edition of "Consumers in Europe" focuses on network industries providing services of general interest to the European consumers. These services are utilities such as transport, energy, water, electricity, telecommunications, internet, postal services and banking services, which play a fundamental role in the economic and social lives of citizens. Nearly one mobile phone subscription per inhabitant in the EU27 in 2005 The number of mobile telephone subscriptions2 has increased almost fourteen times between 1996 and 2005 in the EU27, from 7 subscriptions per 100 inhabitants in 1996 to 96 in 2005. In 2005, thirteen Member States had more than 100 mobile phone subscriptions per 100 inhabitants. Luxembourg (158), Lithuania (127), Italy (122), the Czech Republic (115) and Portugal (111) registered the highest ratios and Romania (62), Poland (76), France (77) and Bulgaria (80) the lowest. In contrast, the number of fixed telephone lines per 100 inhabitants in the EU27 has only increased slightly in this period, from 43 lines per 100 inhabitants in 1996 to 48 in 2005.

  • University Microfilms International T U T T L E , V Ir G in Ia G R a C E
    INFORMATION TO USERS This was produced from a copy of a document sent to us for microfilming. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material subm itted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1. The sign or “target” for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is “Missing Page(s)”. If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting through an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure you of complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark it is an indication that the film inspector noticed either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, or duplicate copy. Unless we meant to delete copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed, you will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photo­ graphed the photographer has followed a definite method in “sectioning” the material. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again-beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For any illustrations that cannot be reproduced satisfactorily by xerography, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and tipped into your xerographic copy.

In addition to social and health care services in the western region of Finland, the intention is to create models, possibilities and a new intensification concept for regional development within education, research and development (R&D). In phase one he data was collected in the form of a questionnaire on a regional and local level. The second phase focused on data collection using the method “Call for Papers” on a national level. The third phase was guided by the results from the former two phases. The data was collected by conducting four focus group interviews among leaders within health and social care. The data was analyzed through content analysis. The results emerging from this survey promote collaboration between the universities and universities of applied sciences, different networks, health and social care services. Furthermore, the results emphasize the need to develop inter- professional and multilingual learning environments, entrepreneurship, multi-professional R&D and a means for leadership to promote the vision of leading toward change.

A given ISA may be implemented with different microarchitectures.[1] Implementations might vary due to different goals of a given design or due to shifts in technology.[2] Computer architecture is the combination of microarchitecture and instruction set design. Relation to instruction set architecture The ISA is roughly the same as the programming model of a processor as seen by an assembly language programmer or compiler writer. The ISA includes the execution model, processor registers, address and data formats among other things. The Intel Core microarchitecture microarchitecture includes the constituent parts of the processor and how these interconnect and interoperate to implement the ISA. The microarchitecture of a machine is usually represented as (more or less detailed) diagrams that describe the interconnections of the various microarchitectural elements of the machine, which may be everything from single gates and registers, to complete arithmetic logic units (ALU)s and even larger elements.

  • Pia Mikander Globalization As Continuing Colonialism
    Journal of Social Science Education Volume 15, Number 2, Summer 2016 DOI 10.4119/UNIBI/jsse-v15-i2-1475 Pia Mikander Globalization as Continuing Colonialism: Critical Global Citizenship Education in an Unequal World In an unequal world, education about global inequality can be seen as a controversial but necessary topic for social science to deal with. Even though the world no longer consists of colonies and colonial powers, many aspects of the global economy follow the same patterns as during colonial times, with widening gaps between the world’s richest and the world’s poorest. An analysis of Finnish textbook texts includes practical examples of how globalization is portrayed within basic education. It reveals that the textbooks vary in their interpretations of the relationship between colonialism and globalization. The people of the North are rarely portrayed as responsible for the poverty in the South. Globalization is not described as a politically implicated phenomenon. The article also presents the critical global citizenship education initiative as an approach to the topic. It suggests that students can learn to challenge common assumptions that conceal the historical and structural roots of power relations. Teaching about privilege can be seen as another supplementary method to help students understand their position in the world. Keywords: However, a range of international issues, from the divi- Social science, global inequality, social studies, Finland, sion of labor and manufacturing of clothes to interna- history, geography, critical global citizenship education, tional weapons trade, migration, refugee crises and critical literacy, textbook research tourism, can be understood as rooted in the past, in colonial settings.

  • Graphics System in Vehicle Electronics
    UPTEC IT09 008 Examensarbete 30 hp April 2009 Graphics System in Vehicle Electronics Andreas Kjellgren Abstract Graphics System in Vehicle Electronics Andreas Kjellgren Teknisk- naturvetenskaplig fakultet UTH-enheten In this thesis three problems areas are studied related to embedded system and device driver programming: a GPS driver, the CAN Bus and study of graphics libraries Besöksadress: suitable for embedded systems. The thesis has two parts: an academic study and an Ångströmlaboratoriet Lägerhyddsvägen 1 implementation phase based on the academic study. The Freescale i.MX31ADS Hus 4, Plan 0 development board together with ENEA's operating system OSE is used as a basis for the study and it is shown that OpenGL ES is best suited for the platform. Further the Postadress: system can be complemented by the use of Mobile 3D Graphics, a Java based Box 536 751 21 Uppsala solution. A driver for the graphics port is implemented for Linux and OpenGL ES works using a graphics accelerator on the hardware. In the field of CAN Telefon: communication an analysis of an existing driver is made. The driver has two 018 – 471 30 03 shortcomings that lead to an incorrect priority order when multiple messages are Telefax: sent simultaneously on the CAN bus. The main problem is that the bit, which tells if 018 – 471 30 00 the data field of the CAN message fits in a single message, has the greatest impact on a CAN message priority. Another problem is that the signal numbers have not been Hemsida: assigned in a consistent manner. A design proposal and an implementation are made.
