In a new study at the Centre for Societal Risk Research at Karlstad University we examine how elderly people in Sweden experience risk in regards of the ongoing corona-pandemic, their ability and willingness to handle the situation and their experiences of how mental health is affected by the situation.
About the study
The ongoing corona-pandemic has been rapidly developing and information on the new virus is extensive.
Setting up firewalls correctly is a challenging task which becomes more difficult the bigger a network grows. Artem Voronkov, who recently completed a Degree of Doctor in Computer Science, has focused his work on how to help system administrators to better manage firewalls.
Most companies have access to the Internet and their corporate networks connected to it. Many threats to computer systems, e.g.
Karlstad University Library has access to approximately 400 000 e-books via various e-book portals. E-books can be read online and often they also can be downloaded to computer or tablet. Different e-book vendors may have different terms of use.
What is an e-book?An electronic book (or e-book) is a book publication made available in digital form. An e-book can be read on a computer or a mobile device.

Doctoral students can influence planning and execution of doctoral education on multiple levels of the university, based on the policy for student influence. Direct influence at the department is complemented by representation on faculty and university level.
One of the most significant transformations from analogue to digital has occurred during the pandemic to reduce the spread of the Covid-19 virus. More and more tasks are becoming digitalized, from daily work assignments to communicating with external parties. This rapid transformation has pushed organizations and individuals to develop their overall digital competence rapidly.
This blog post presents an ongoing study on measuring digital competence.

Over the next two years, researchers at CTF, Service Research Center at Karlstad University, will investigate how the Internet of Things, IoT, can be used in creating a better school environment and improving student health. The project will be carried out together with a number of actors and is based on a secondary school in Arvika Municipality, Sweden.
The focus of the project is to find out how IoT can measure children’s and young people’s health at school.
