The Solidarity Principle and the Current Migration Emergency
No full textThe management of the current migrant emergency is revealing deep divisions among the EU member states. Fundamental EU texts refer to European solidarity, opening the door both to inter-state solidarity and to a role for the member states and the Union itself in promoting social rights. The dramatic consequences of the current migration crisis call for a new understanding of the nature of European solidarity and for its establishment as a point of reference in the current European narrative. This chapter argues that the current absence of solidarity between the member states makes it difficult to justify the transformation of Frontex, the external borders agency, into a new agency. Instead, the European Asylum Support Office should be transformed into an EU asylum agency. Such a measure would relieve the burden on those member states that receive the greatest numbers of refugees

Integration and Laplace Transformation of Orthogonal Series
No full textTitle: Integration and Laplace Transformation of Orthogonal Series, Author: Milos Novotny, Location: ThodeIn the first part of this thesis the basic
properties of classical orthogonal polynomials are derived from a unified
theory. Then sufficient conditions for term-by-term integration and
Laplace transformation of Fourier expansions in terms of an orthogonal
system with respect to a weight function on a bounded or unbounded interval
are given, and successively applied to Fourier expansions in terms of the
trigonometric system, the classical orthogonal polynomials, the Haar system
and eigenfunction expansions for ordinary linear differential equations with
boundary conditions on both ends of a compact interval as well as in limit
point and limit circle cases for an infinite interval. Finally a necessary
and sufficient condition for representation of a complex function as a
Laplace interval of f ε L(0,2π) with period 2π is proved.ThesisDoctor of Philosophy (PhD

Oblivion on the Web: an Inquiry of User Needs and Technologies
No full textUnlimited retention of personal information on the web may harm individuals: employers can find youthful indiscretions on social media, and incorrectly low credit scores may haunt individuals for a lifetime. Currently, Europe revives the "right to erasure" as a first step towards a forgetting web. Early technologies implementing oblivion suffer from vulnerabilities and narrowly assume that users require information to be erased after a pre-determined time. But little is known about users' actual oblivion needs. A first study shows that users desire control over disclosed personal information to reduce pre-disclosure privacy concerns, and to delete harmful information after disclosure. In the long run, users have a need for dissociating from obsolete information that represents their past identity. A second study analyses whether oblivion-enhancing technologies (OETs) currently deployed in online services satisfy users' needs. While not all services give users assurance that disclosed information can be erased again, most provide users with some active control. But to manage the increasing volume of personal information stored, users would also require "intelligent" support with oblivion. Intelligent agents that keep track of disclosed information long-term could automatically safeguard users from information relating to a past episode in life surfacing unexpectedly.

Carbon Distribution in Humic Substance Fractions Extracted from Soils Treated with Charcoal (Biochar)
No full textBiochar incorporation into the soil is a proposed C sequestration strategy. How newly applied biochar affects C accumulation in the soil is therefore a relevant question. This study presents part of the results, obtained from field experiments, of a study which has as objective to contribute to elucidate this question. The results indicated that biochar application into the soil directly influences humic substance levels. This effect is most probably due to the dichromate oxidable C contained in the biochar itself. This abstract and the abstract by Novotny et al. in this anais are containing complementary information as the latter characterized the HS fractions extracted from the same samples of the sandy loam discussed in this abstract
