Smartness, Sustainability and Resilience: Are They Related?
2019
In the imminent future, cities have to face not only an increasing urbanization but also the negative consequences of natural and human disasters. From this point of view, a city should be considered as vulnerable to climate change and other natural negative events. Thus, the challenge of a city consists in remaining on a sustainable development path. To reach this object the concepts of smartness, sustainability and resilience for a city should be intertwined. Starting from the analysis of a bright city as an integrated approach, the aim of this study consists in propose a first framework of an index which should include sustainable, smartness and resilient indicators. Integrating and meas…
MAXQDA and its application to Social Sciences: a comparative case study on urban vulnerability
2022
Introducción. En el ámbito de las Ciencias Sociales cada vez es más frecuente el empleo de programas informáticos en el análisis de datos cuantitativos y cualitativos. El presente artículo tiene por objeto presentar la aplicación del software MAXQDA a partir de un estudio de caso comparado sobre vulnerabilidad urbana en el Sur (Guatemala) y en el Norte (España). Para ello, se presenta una revisión teórica internacional sobre la aplicación de plataformas ofimáticas bajo la denominación de CAQDAS, cuyo surgimiento y aplicación ha supuesto en el ámbito de la investigación social nuevos métodos de análisis cualitativos y mixtos. Dentro de dicha denominación, MAXQDA se presenta como una platafor…
Migrazioni forzate e diritti disattesi. Lo sguardo di genere sui bisogni di frontiera
2021
La definizione di “tratta di esseri umani”, adottata dal Protocollo delle Nazioni Unite, descrive gli elementi che identificano un fenomeno rilevato su scala mondiale che occupa i primissimi posti delle classifiche relative ai crimini internazionali per la diffusione e la numerosità di casi. Esso prevede l’induzione forzata a varie forme di sfruttamento e, fra queste, un posto di rilievo occupa quello relativo allo sfruttamento a scopo prostitutivo. Malgrado accordi europei e leggi nazionali convergano sul piano giuridico, allo stato attuale, la condizione di “vittima di tratta” fatica ad essere riconosciuta come tale da un sistema di protezione e accoglienza che in Europa evidenzia procedu…
Pattern recognition based authentication in mobile and wireless systems
2008
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2008 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad During last several decades’ mobile communication has aimed a dramatically development, and brought remarkable change of people’s life. Mobile communication offer wireless connectivity that enables mobility and computing in dynamic communication environments. The market demands driving the mobile communication technology development fast ever. Numbers of communication systems have been developed and numerous service providers and equipment vendors entered this market. Therefore many new advance techniques have been introduced into it which gives subscriber a larger bandwidth, more powerful proces…
Securing Assets with RFID
2008
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2008 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad Loss of property is something every company has had to deal with at some point, without proper securing this is a problem that is very hard to get control of. RFID has been available for decades but it has been a technology which has been dormant without very much development. In the last years the interest has grown and new ideas to use it has surfaced. This thesis is set out to present a comprehensive solution proposal for a RFID asset management system. A case will be presented which will be a scarlet thread throughout the paper. We cover areas like RFID technology and standards, tags, readers…

A roadmap towards improving managed security services from a privacy perspective
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Ethics and Information Technology. Also available from the publisher at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10676-014-9348-3 This paper proposes a roadmap for how privacy leakages from outsourced managed security services using intrusion detection systems can be controlled. The paper first analyses the risk of leaking private or confidential information from signature-based intrusion detection systems. It then discusses how the situation can be improved by developing adequate privacy enforcement methods and privacy leakage metrics in order to control and reduce the leakage of private and confidential information over time. Such metrics should allow fo…

El Dret a la Ciutat des de l'exclusió residencial: l'evolució dels barris vulnerables de la Comunitat Valenciana
2019
El derecho a la ciudad fue un concepto empleado por primera vez por Lefebvre (1968) entendido como aquel derecho de la ciudadanía a constituir ciudades que respondan a las necesidades humanas. De este modo, las necesidades de una ciudad no son más que la manifestación expresa de las necesidades colectivas de sus residentes reflejadas en el espacio urbano y comunitario (Caravantes, 2018). A las necesidades colectivas cabe sumársele las necesidades específicas de las personas que forman parte activa e integrante de las ciudades. La concentración de tales necesidades, así como de fenómenos vinculados al ámbito residencial conllevan a la “acumulación de clases desfavorecidas en las ciudades” (S…
