strong lover of video games He typically writes about the video games he loves and he is a regular on the Nintendo Entertainment Podcast Transcom already has its customer service operations in Kista and is now looking forward to new With excellent communications and proximity to Arlanda There is also a strong recruitment base here and we are close to several of our partners whose headquarters are located in Kista or in the surrounding area Corem has understood our needs in an excellent way and offers a competitive full-service solution that matches our needs well," said Markus Mauritzon is a popular full-service building in central Kista Halton and Terravis have set up offices during the year "We are happy to be able to welcome Transcom to the functional premises in the Time Building an inspiring lounge area and a restaurant," said Anna Lidhagen-Ohlsén Corem Property Group is a real estate company that in a sustainable way owns manages and develops commercial properties in urban and growth areas Corem Property Group is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm colleagues from both Södertälje and Kista will move to the KTH campus and this will mean shake-ups in several places Sing-sing and parts of the machine quarter are now being refurbished to meet the needs and requirements of the tenants for the work environment “The premises in Sing-Sing did not fulfil the requirements of a modern working environment for flexible working,” says Gunnar Malm “We look forward to letting the employees move in after the summer but there is a lot that needs to be done before then.” Sing-Sing is a K-marked building from 1948 that in recent years has mainly housed the ITM school's departments With its red staircase railings and glassed-in offices if you ask the older students who came up with the nickname The building is popular for events such as the President’s Professors' Breakfasts and conference meetings But when Gunnar Malm and colleagues from the Kista campus examined their future premises they went through the premises to find the right measures according to today's building standards for acoustics all video meetings require better sound insulation – a need that did not exist when the offices were built the department that is moving in has also realised that the kitchen will be a central meeting place Akademiska hus will begin the renovation work which in time will also benefit other staff in the building Changes will also take place in the Machine Quarter within the Department of Product Development (IPU) the office space is being prepared to accommodate some thirty employees from Södertälje all researchers and teachers in the production area will be gathered in one building “One advantage of the move is that we can create a unified education and research environment with a strong experimental environment for the production area,” says Magnus Wiktorsson we think that the standard of classrooms and offices is much more outdated on the KTH campus than what we are used to in Södertälje they have developed different types of offices where people can share rooms Space is also being made for smaller meetings digitally or one-on-one Together with the departments of Learning in Engineering Sciences which also recently moved in to the building they have ensured that all doors have windows to increase the amount of light Acoustic measurements and ventilation tests are also being carried out to check the working environment Classrooms and study areas at Brinellvägen 68 will also be renewed with new furniture and technology from Södertälje The starting point has been to reuse Södertälje's and Kista's modern furniture and technology as much as possible and now that the inventory is complete it remains to be decided where to place the surplus equipment there are empty spaces that could be furnished for students Magnus adds that much of the fine furniture from Södertälje will not be used at the ITM school and needs to circulate to others at KTH The Sustainability Office and the Real Estate Department have been close partners throughout the process and a Premises Council (Lokalråd) has analyzed the consequences for all relocations from different perspectives “There will be a lot of shuffling around on several parts of the KTH campus Several relocations have already begun and now adaptations are also being prepared to make space for new computer rooms” programme coordinator for the campus moves “The campus relocations result in a lot of adaptations to premises and it has been noted that the maintenance of the properties is neglected in some places We now have the opportunity to make demands on Akademiska hus to refresh worn premises.” Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) KTH Royal Institute of

hotel brands and IHG One Rewards IHG has over 6,200 open hotels in over 100 countries and nearly 2,000 in the development pipeline Approximately 345,000 people work across IHG's hotels and corporate offices globally What are the main objectives of the 2025 Business Plan The most important goals and thus assignments in 2025 are reviewing the School's organisation in departments and divisions and moving from KTH Kista to KTH Campus We have begun work on what the president calls balanced finances and things are moving in the right direction but the work will continue in 2025 and probably also in 2026 The move from Kista to KTH Campus is a significant change How do you ensure that it is implemented smoothly and that staff and students are affected as little as possible The heads of schools involved in campus moves are part of different groups supporting the processes premises provision and placement on the KTH Campus are discussed in the Premises advisory committee I can facilitate and help solve knots that arise along the way the resources for implementing the move have been reviewed and increased it is essential to inform and be transparent about what is happening and the next steps and provides updates at each staff meeting on the progress of the work EECS is conducting a review of its education offer What changes can students and teachers expect It should be noted that changes to the programme offer certain lead times for students beginning 3-year engineering programme in the School's subject areas EECS is now admitting students to two 3-year engineering programmes instead of three and there is an increased focus on clear specialisation tracks within the programmes Another exciting example of change visible to students starting this autumn is the School's master's programme in embedded systems and nanotechnology A change has been initiated towards an increased focus on semiconductor technology which is visible in a further developed course offering and specialisation tracks in the programmes Part of the educational offer is lifelong learning EECS has a good mix of grant-funded continuing professional development (FoV) and contract education and we have the ambition to continue developing this combination Contract education has the advantages of being needs-driven in nature and financially viable The School's grant-funded education has been broadened in recent years we will await the investigation into lifelong learning at KTH which the Faculty Council recently initiated This includes analysing needs and target groups and assessing educational formats and provisions It will provide the school with essential guidance for the further development of lifelong learning The EECS Research and Impact Day is a new initiative that started in 2024 and how will it strengthen the school's research The day aims to inspire researchers at the school to talk about their research share results and get to know each other's research environments Focusing on content and our core research activities is my primary focus in my role in the school's management How do you see the future research endeavours of EECS and which areas do you think will be most strategically important The research groups in our different departments strategic research infrastructure and the commitment of our researchers form the basis of research today and in the future We live in a troubled world where research is given an even more vital role to provide stability and solutions for the future Knowledge becomes even more important in difficult times and universities have an increasingly strategic role in advancing knowledge through research We need to continue developing research to solve key strategic issues investments in 6G and applications in extreme environments such as space as well as in rapid development in life science It is strategically vital to increase research cooperation within Europe and join forces I want to focus on how we can develop opportunities to support research funding from the EU at KTH and in Sweden How does EECS work with a transparent and inclusive promotion process within the faculty and the assessment criteria are open in the employment regulations The system is based on the person's merits about these assessment criteria The career committee has proposed changing the promotion of professors from being based on the need to being a right to be assessed The dean has also appointed a working group to review the assessment criteria in the employment regulations Ragnar Thobaben and I are part of the working group I think it can contribute to increased clarity all levels are included by the person who wants to be promoted making a self-assessment based on the assessment criteria The departmental management then assesses this self-evaluation The Employment Committee will prepare cases for Head of School decisions in the future We do not know precisely what the whole process will look like What are the biggest challenges in faculty recruitment and we are trying to address it through the government capital initiatives currently being discussed in departments Another challenge is internally funded positions Several departments do not have the funds to offer start-up grants for new hires The Faculty Board and the school management will have an internal meeting to discuss recruitment strategies we hope to have a long-term plan for future recruitment but it will not be possible or even desirable to plan all appointments - we live in a very dynamic world regarding our subjects A smaller challenge is to adapt to the new guidelines and to be able to manage the processes as smoothly as possible - thanks to our competent administrators; we will be able to be more efficient.  How are you working to ensure that staff perceives these changes as positive The current departmental level will become the institutional level This will allow us to build on the current organisation's strengths and strengthen the organisation the organisation is affected by the move from KTH Kista to KTH Campus which creates challenges and opportunities This means that massive changes are taking place for some groups and individuals and you will be closer to your head of department.  We had an internal meeting with head of department and the school management to capture as many perspectives as possible We work with this material and provide continuous feedback to the School's extended management team (heads of department and heads of division) We are also transparent with all the material we produce and are happy to come out and talk with any organisation that wants to meet us The introduction of a new institutional structure in 2026 means significant changes and how will it affect the School's activities The new institutional structure aims to create a more efficient and coherent organisation by giving departments full responsibility for teaching The change will reduce the distance between management and staff We are also seeking to introduce a transparent and straightforward allocation of resources this means a clearer division of responsibilities and better support for managers where collaboration and flexibility will be key factors in meeting future challenges Internal communication has been identified as an area for improvement What measures are you planning to take to improve the flow of information within the School We have established regular occasions where members of the Faculty Board are invited to dialogue meetings with teachers and researchers at the school The format of the school's working meetings has also been developed by making them available in English we need to find more ways for continuous dialogue not least with all the school's doctoral students and to increase participation in the school's workplace meetings The ongoing reorganisation can catalyse change and improvement of internal communication but there is much to be done before we are there EECS is introducing institutional support with new administrative roles EECS has established a new administrative position as a management coordinator we will recruit three more to staff the new departments that will come into effect on 1 January 2026 These aim to hold together the internal support in each department and act as the head of the department's administrative gateway to the overall operational support Be a coordinating function in the same way that Marianne Lundin and I are to the school management.  Read the operational plan in Swedish

Attachments2024-11-01 Invitation to Corem's Capital Market Day 2024 is the headquarters of ABB's L&W business unit which manufactures equipment for quality testing process measurement and optimization for the pulp and paper industry approximately half of the global workforce supporting L&W products is located in Kista The renovation of the existing L&W manufacturing site includes updating both the office landscape and production environment employees who were previously based in ABB's Knarrarnäsgatan facility have moved to Viderögatan which has been the home office of the acquired Lorentzen & Wettre business – the pioneers of the L&W product line – since 1977 These employees represent most of ABB’s other Business Areas including electrification "The investment has enabled us to increase our production volume by 30 percent We see a constant increase in demand for products and solutions that enable a fully automated optimized and connected production process for our customers," said Per Sandström head of ABB in Kista and L&W Business Unit Manager "By gathering all ABB employees in the Stockholm region under one roof we can more easily collaborate and facilitate our customers' transition to sustainable operations." The premises have been adapted to a modern and flexible way of working as well as for continued expansion of the business Due to its easily accessible location just outside of the Stockholm city center conferences and training sessions are frequently arranged and we see a need for a number of different roles - from salespeople engineers and project managers to employees in service and production Our experts are crucial in helping the industry achieve the highest quality standards reduce energy consumption and minimize downtime," said Sandström ABB's website uses cookies.

Kista was Stockholm Data Parks' first campus opening in 2017 as well as one brownfield property (Vanda 1) which is located next to an existing Interxion data center they have a data center there in the park and are already delivering heat and expanding their business in Kista," said Erik Rylander head of Stockholm Data Parks at its parent group Stockholm Exergi "Whereas Advania and IP-Only are investing in their first data center in this area.” Earlier this year, at DCD>Energy Smart, Stockholm Data Parks announced another campus at Brista five miles (8km) west of Stockholm Arlanda Airport bringing 220,000 square meters of property space and 20MW of power available for data center investments with heat recovery The organization has two other sites lined up which both have heat recovery already available or in preparation Data centers are part of the Swedish capital's plans to become fossil free by 2040 Data centers at Stockholm Data Parks are paid for their excess heat and contribute to the elimination of fossil fuels from Stockholm Exergi’s heat production for the city’s households and offices “There is an increasing realization that end-users are expecting data centers to offer sustainable solutions," said Rylander “With our willingness to pay for excess heat locating in Stockholm is not only more profitable it also provides a competitive edge for these data centers in responding to customer demands for climate-neutral computing,” Rylander added Interxion is due to be merged with Digital Realty according to a deal announced last month Data Centre Dynamics Ltd (DCD), 32-38 Saffron Hill, London, EC1N 8FH Email.

Kista Science City and why ‘Intelligent Transport Solutions’ are core to its development Stockholm has been able to meet growth challenges by exploiting new land areas and through densification while successfully developing the transportation system to cope with growing needs a few years ago we had critical levels of cars travelling into the downtown area on the main routes as the new ITS industry developed Since Stockholm is known as a city with extremely high internet penetration where everyone had early access to cell phones and since it has a very large internationally recognized IT industry that is intensively engaged in research it was natural to direct interest to this area and Stockholm Public Transport began collaborating in 2000 on a common vision for traffic solutions using IT and telecom and by mid-decade a common portal for traffic information was available: www.trafiken.nu and academic communication platform whose mission is to create forums for regional players As an ICT cluster with more than 1,000 companies and strong growth we believe that a new ITS focus area can contribute greatly to developing Stockholm’s transportation system while generating new innovations and promoting new export solutions To create the best possible environment for such development we are now working to create a national testbed for innovative new services and we found that Living Labs Global (LLG) is a fantastic partner with which to strengthen that development LLG shares our view that transparency is crucial in order for cities to learn from each other and for innovations to be shared by many in a global market MC: Over the years the city of Stockholm has earned recognition for its persistent commitment to the environment and improving the quality of life It has set very high standards and adopted ambitious goals among them that of becoming a Carbon emission free city by 2050 In 2010 the European Union chose Stockholm as the first European city to be nominated ‘Green Capital’ and city dwellers and stakeholders worldwide envy the ‘Stockholm approach’ to integrated urban management and energy efficiency What are you doing to replicate your successes and how do you share knowledge with other cities across the EU and the rest of the world you have to dare to stand out yet remain humble Daring to say that you’re a world leader means that you have to focus on your efforts but that you will also be critically scrutinized It’s important for Stockholm to participate in the global debate on our future Since we are also confident that we have important things to say and present Federico De Giuli: Urban transportation systems are very complex and rely on combined – but very specific – policies I would like to understand what Kista Science City expects from the project entries from this point of view the more reasons to try developing them using new technologies It’s all about finding new ways to provide users with better information that helps support decision-making It’s about purposefully turning away from dependence on fossil fuels It’s about creating a transportation system without injuries or deaths With the combined forces of science and industry and with the city as an experimental field Kista Science City has all the makings for finding solutions that help create an efficient transportation system for smart cities FDG: Does Stockholm aim to become a car-free city one day and current arguments for a car-free city will be dispelled by technological developments Fail-safe vehicles powered by renewable energy will eventually lead to the car no longer being harmful to either humans or the environment the challenge will continue to be developing a city based on accessibility where the focus will be on finding new ways to get traffic flowing smoothly – always and everywhere This is done by integrating all parts of the transportation system while offering opportunities for everyone to always choose the right solution for their transportation needs This gives individuals the opportunity to choose the best solution and also offers the community an unprecedented opportunity to optimize transportation solutions I believe very strongly that many trips will simply not be made because the alternatives are as good or even better MC: Stockholm has been working hard towards clean transport for some years now 3 out of 4 citizens use public transport during rush hour and Stockholm’s inner city vehicles run of locally produced biomass fuels A massive waste-management scheme run on renewable fuels is underway and the congestion charge implemented has improved the city’s air quality by 10 – 14%; what can new technologies and service innovation bring to the table that hasn’t already been done we’ll have access to many more checkpoints related to an increasing number of objects A not-so-distant vision is for all these data to be available for the development of services And it’s only our imaginations that limit what services can be developed FDG: Has the city of Stockholm had to make calculated investments in citizen education for lifestyle and behavior change to achieve its sustainability goals AS: Stockholm has long had a highly educated population that is very aware of its ability to influence and sets high standards on public services It also has a long tradition of separating waste and saving energy and an autocratically large market share of public transportation All this is combined with a high awareness of the world’s environmental challenges making it very easy to work with citizens and businesses to drive the development of green solutions MC: Stockholm imposes tough regulations in order to drive change Have you experienced citizen resistance in any of your policies Are all of the political parties in favour of these policies AS: A very good example of this is the introduction of congestion charges through a referendum after a comprehensive pilot study That Stockholm would choose a congestion charge solution was never given or obvious but when the environmental debate gained momentum the Stockholm congestion charge solution is a model that attracts numerous international visitors each year FDG: Will Kista Science City take measures to face the challenges posed by citizen privacy in the flux and monitoring of data in intelligent transport solutions open discussions on privacy issues in tandem with technological advancements – Stockholm is no exception The things that make cities smart are density and proximity which lead to positive effects like efficient use of energy FDG: What is the role of the City Council of Stockholm in the transition to smart and greener techonologies Who manages the finances of service innovation AS: The City Council of Stockholm has adopted “Vision 2030” with the goal of becoming one of the world’s cleanest and where Stockholm is a world leader in information technology and the development and application of new environmental and energy-related technologies Stockholm has adopted a green IT strategy on all levels and in all operations Green IT is a strategic and management issue which is why it is important for environmental issues to be considered from an operational viewpoint Doing so clarifies the ways in which the municipality can reduce its environmental impact across all operations MC: Have you ever considered that technological mediation may have a negative affect of the human feel and/or social interaction of a city AS: The things that make cities smart are density and proximity Possible negative side effects is crowding and frictions in the transport system The smart city is using the new technologies to be able to create even more dense cities and at the same time creating new solutions to avoid the negative side effects of crowding The idea that technology can be used for the wrong purpose applies across the board and is not specific to cities MC: Stockholm boasts of a Green ICT program which connects households and businesses through an open ICT structure with an optical fiber cable By 2012 90% of households in Stockholm will be connected through this optical fibre network; have you already witnessed the benefits of this innovation and I believe that we can already see that the development of the digital infrastructure has led to a more sustainable society Through more efficient ICT use and the continued development of both mobile and fixed networks Ericsson predicts that total CO2 emissions can be reduced by up to 20 percent Services like video conferencing and new forms of communication – say social media – are already providing Stockholm-based companies with significant environmental benefits which naturally results in financial benefits FDG: Does the use and research of smart-tech favour the emergence of new commercial ventures and start-up enterprises in and around Stockholm Will the Smart technology sector provide opportunities for entrepreneurship and strategic sustainable development but surely new innovations will develop in this field We have reached a point in the history of man where we suddenly are able to create growth and at the same time save the world with new technology solutions MC: New city infrastructure is not uncomplicated business especially in such vulnerable economic and environmental climate how does a city build enough confidence to take meditated risks in unexplored fields Does business competence play a significant role in facilitating cities in this sense AS: What we usually call “The Swedish Model” is a close dialogue between government Just one example: the world’s first ever complete mobile telephone system evolved through a intense collaboration between a monopole state owned telecom operator and the Ericsson company Risks decrease significantly if they are shared and combined with the knowledge of different sectors In the mid-80’s in Kista the Electrum Foundation was created as a “triple helix” motor of innovation and growth of the ICT sector I am perfectly safe in stating that this body commonly steered by the City of Stockholm the Royal Institute of Technology and the enterprises like Ericsson IBM and the real estate and land developers of Kista is critical to the success of Kista Science City on the global market FDG: How did you benefit from participating in the Living Labs Global Award 2010 AS: By opening up the city’s challenges to a global society of developers while being able to browse hundreds of innovations offers new and hopefully unexpected opportunities and I am amazed by the forces gathering in the Living Labs Global community MC: Does your participation in the Living Labs Global Award help Stockholm to activate the dynamic process of service innovation in the city all activities and events of this kind force everyone to focus and keep pace and it increases recognition of the strategies we’ll send

After an initial consultation, the PEN-TEC team was commissioned to do a full-fledged treatment of the basement using PENETRON crystalline technology.  They were given only two months to rehabilitate the entire space. The work began immediately and followed a clear sequence: The PENETRON crystalline technology used in the Kista Galleria basement penetrated into the wet concrete substrates, the crystals responding to the moisture by growing into all cracks and capillaries throughout the structure and becoming an integral part of the concrete. After about two months, the basement space, now sealed against any further water ingress, was completely dry and – thanks to the PENETRON System – will remain dry over the life of the structure. “There’s an added bonus that the PENETRON technology is NSF-61 certified and completely non-toxic, safe with no noxious gases or VOC emissions,” adds Moen. “We have treated numerous water storage facilities and other sensitive facilities across Northern Europe with great success.” Today, Europe's most modern go-kart track (on 4,000 square meters) has the latest electric karts running laps at speeds up to 70kmh (45mph), while spectators enjoy the action from the adjacent bar. “Even applied to the negative side of the concrete substrates, PENETRON crystalline technology has proven its effectiveness in situations identical to the waterlogged basement in Stockholm,” adds Robert Revera, President and CEO of The PENETRON Group.  “We’re proud to be part of such success stories all across Scandinavia.” One driver incurred 30 fines taking his child to the hospital for treatment before a judge’s ruling canceled the penalties The meeting between Mike Waltz and Marcell Biró on April 16th is yet another sign of the close cooperation between the two governments Sweden’s Cardinal Anders Arborelius dedicated the country’s first shrine Saturday specifically for prayer for persecuted Christians The Archbishop of Stockholm presided at the ceremony July 22 at the Holy Martyrs Syriac Catholic Church in Kista was marked by a Syriac Catholic Eucharistic liturgy attended by hundreds of people including members of the Syriac Orthodox Church which belongs to the Oriental Orthodox communion and Dominican Sisters originally from Iraq In a homily delivered in both Swedish and English Arborelius said that Western Christians needed the witness of the persecuted as they faced the challenges of growing secularism He urged Catholics in Sweden—a country believed to be home to more than 120,000 Middle Eastern Christians—to pray to Mary especially that their young people would resist the lure of secularization The new shrines to Mary, Mother of the Persecuted, are cropping up across the world thanks to Fr. Benedict Kiely, an English priest who founded the charity Nasarean.org in 2016 to help Middle Eastern Christians remain in their home countries through “mini micro-financing” enabling them to set up small businesses The Holy Martyrs Syriac Catholic Church, also known as the Akalla Church hosts what is believed to be the world’s fourth shrine explicitly intended for prayer for Christians facing active persecution around the world According to Open Doors’ World Watch List 2023 one in seven Christians worldwide faces persecution and more than 5,600 Christians were killed for reasons related to their faith last year The icons of Mary, Mother of the Persecuted, are painted by Sr. Souraya, a Syrian nun of the Basilian order whose studio outside of the Lebanese capital, Beirut, was rebuilt with help from Nasarean.org.  Kiely told The Pillar in a July 23 email interview that the icons are offered to diocesan bishops for no charge He stressed that the local ordinary’s support was essential for the establishment of new shrines as their backing demonstrates their commitment to prayer for persecuted Christians He said that he had been struck by the “very lukewarm response from many bishops in the U.S.” to the offer Kiely highlighted a 2020 survey conducted by Aid to the Church in Need-USA which found that the persecution of Christians came last when respondents were asked to rank which global issues they were most concerned about “This makes these shrines ever more urgent,” Kiely said.  The 60-year-old priest explained that the shrines had a twofold purpose: To offer a focus for people praying for persecuted Christians in Africa and to give Western Christians a place to pray for fortitude and strength amid rising intolerance He has previously acknowledged that there are other churches where Catholics remember Christians who have suffered for the faith, such as San Bartolomeo all’Isola in Rome But he contends that these sites are not shrines specifically for prayer for persecuted Christians today Kiely suggested that anti-Christian persecution did not feature prominently in the global synodal process leading into this October’s synod on synodality in Rome while thousands of Christians are being martyred throughout the world is a reason why these shrines are so important—to try to focus Western Christians on the plight of their brethren,” he said.  “There ought to be a synod on the worldwide persecution of Christians.” This article was first published in The Pillar and appear here by kind permission The city of Stockholm has designated a large parcel of land for data center development connectivity and some interesting cooling options The Stockholm Data Parks initiative was launched in cooperation with infrastructure companies Fortum Värme will enable data center operators to sell their waste heat to the grid and buy cooling as a service the scheme will be expanded to another three locations – Brista “With the significant synergies between recovered data center heat and the city’s environmental objective to become fossil fuel-free by 2040 I am determined to make Stockholm a major hub for sustainable data centers,” said Karin Wanngård The announcement follows the news that Sweden has cut tax on electricity used in data centers by 97 percent Stockholm Data Parks was established to attract investment and promote the Swedish capital as one of the best places in the world to run a data center Stockholm aims to supply 10 percent of the city’s residential heating demand through recovered excess heat from data centers The first site to be launched as part of this initiative is located in Kista and offers a mix of greenfield and brownfield sites available for sale or lease Its tenants will be able to take advantage of recently lowered energy prices Tax cuts have reduced the total cost of electricity used by data centers in Sweden by approximately 40 percent resulting in cheapest power in Europe - less than €0.04 per kilowatt-hour It is also worth noting that just 2 percent of Swedish electricity is derived from fossil fuels – the rest is provided by hydroelectric dams Making the proposition even more attractive is the option to get paid for waste server heat a data center load of 10 MW can heat close to 20,000 residential flats Businesses that have already signed up for waste heat recovery in Stockholm include Interxion Waste heat reuse has a reputation for being complicated: it requires a considerable upfront investment and is only available in geographic locations already served by a district heating system Stockholm Data Parks has proposed an innovative model: utility providers will offer cooling of the facility for free in exchange for the excess heat when the data center load reaches above 10 MW operator of Stockholm’s district heating system Fortum Värme will pay for the heat pumps necessary to concentrate thermal energy – usually the most expensive component of a waste heat recapture system data center operators can simply sell their waste heat to Fortum Värme and take care of the cooling themselves “With a market of more than 80 million people within a roundtrip delay of 30 milliseconds covering all major cities of Northern Europe Stockholm is an ideal location for cloud players and other major data center actors,” said Göran Långsved Data Centre Dynamics Ltd (DCD), 32-38 Saffron Hill, London, EC1N 8FH Email. [email protected]DCD is a subsidiary of InfraXmedia the University Board decided to move the Kista campus the project manager for the campus relocation ”Together with the Student Union of the School of Engineering (THS) a timetable has been created for when programmes will be moved from Kista It will run over two academic years until all students study at the KTH Campus at Valhallavägen.” ”We are looking at the contract structure for our premises in Kista We will need to use the premises more efficiently during the relocation period including research space and operational support.” ”Teachers and directors of studies will be involved in an intensive schedule work for 2025 when the first groups of students are moving to KTH Campus Flexible workplaces have been prepared on KTH Campus to make it work for people who move between two places and there will be separate information on that.” but you are welcome to use the flexible workplaces prepared on KTH Campus en.” ”The relocation of the Kista campus will require negotiations with other schools to find the most suitable premises We will also be looking at the organization of the school in parallel; whether this will affect placement after the move is too early to say.” ”It's too early to say because we must decide what happens to the Electrum Laboratory.” we can't make the best use of the premises on Valhallavägen and that's the potential biggest cost reduction.” there has been a positive dialogue now that the move is becoming more concrete.” ”We have planned the most important activity with THS we are now working on getting clear information at the departmental level the most significant risk is that a move will interfere with teaching and they want to try to synchronize with the term times Doctoral students wish their studies not to be extended and researchers see individual advantages and disadvantages.” we want to emphasize that those working in Kista today will continue to receive good support until the move is completed.” ”The most significant part is the budgeting of the move itself and how will the cost be divided at different levels at KTH.” “The President will set up a study for the Electrum Laboratory to be carried out in the spring.” ”The cooperation between the three project managers at the EECS and we are trying to make the right priorities I want more time to talk to more people in the organization and get their wishes but there are many good thoughts and ideas to capture I am also available by email and for personal contact.” Ericsson and Telia conducted outdoor trials of 5G technology in Sweden that the vendor said boosts the pair’s goal of launching 5G-like services in Sweden and Estonia in 2018 The demonstrations of 5G capabilities utilised 800 MHz of spectrum in the 15 GHz band, and were conducted on a live network in Kista. In a statement announcing the trial Ericsson said the partners achieved peak data rates of 15 Gbps -- some 40 times faster than the maximum speeds that can be reached using 4G technology -- and latency of under 3 milliseconds Telia and Ericsson announced in January that they aim to deliver the first 5G experiences to subscribers in Stockholm and Tallinn in 2018 The services will be delivered on a pre-commercial 5G network following joint development and testing of 5G use-cases covering communications and Internet of Things (IoT) said the Kista demonstration is one of the first steps towards standardising and developing 5G technology “Our knowledge and learnings from testing in a real outdoor environment will be crucial to understand and develop the 5G technology and networks needed to meet our customers’ future requirements," he said In a related Telia statement Svärdh said the low latency achieved in the Kista test was a key development “We experience some difficulties in delivering really short latencies They are important because you need to have short latencies in order to fully support services such as virtual reality The company said the sub-3 millisecond latency achieved in the trial was a “massive improvement” on current rates Ericsson’s head of region Northern Europe and Central Asia echoed Svärdh’s comments regarding the importance of the recent trial to the partners’ long-term goals “Our 5G roadmap will incrementally introduce IoT technologies and 5G concepts that will enhance end-user experience and business potential for enterprises and society.” The European Commission last month said the benefits of 5G technology would go beyond the mobile industry A study conducted for the commission by InterDigital Europe and Trinity College Dublin predicted that the technology has the potential to create new jobs in vertical industries and trickle-down effects worth €141.8 billion ($156.2 billion) by 2025

STOCKHOLM (AP) — The flight from Italy was one of the last arrivals that day at the Stockholm airport A Swedish couple in their 50s walked up and loaded their skis into Razzak Khalaf's taxi It was early March and concerns over the coronavirus were already present both coughing for the entire 45-minute journey assured Khalaf they were healthy and just suffering from a change in the weather the Iraqi immigrant got seriously ill with COVID-19 Khalaf is part of the growing evidence that those in immigrant communities in the Nordic nations are being hit harder by the pandemic than the general population Sweden took a relatively soft approach to fighting the coronavirus one that attracted international attention Large gatherings were banned but restaurants and schools for younger children have stayed open The government has urged social distancing That's more than 31 deaths per 100,000 population compared with about 8 per 100,000 in neighboring Denmark which imposed a strict lockdown early on that is only now being slowly lifted anecdotal evidence emerged early in the outbreak that suggested that some — particularly those from Somalia and Iraq — were hit harder than others data from Sweden’s Public Health Agency confirmed that Somali Swedes made up almost 5 percent of the country's COVID-19 cases yet represented less than 1 percent of its 10 million people Many in these communities are more likely to live in crowded multigeneration households and are unable to work remotely “No one cares for taxi drivers in Sweden,” said Khalaf who tested positive and was admitted to a hospital when his condition deteriorated the 49-year-old says he was sent home after six hours and told his body was strong enough to “fight it off.” Helsinki authorities warned of a similar over-representation among Somali immigrants in the capital — some 200 cases where immigrants make up nearly 15% of the general population they represent about 25% of confirmed coronavirus cases or any crisis will hit the most vulnerable people in society the most wherever in the world and we see this in many many countries," said Isabella Lovin Noting that the virus was spreading faster in some crowded Stockholm suburbs Lovin said said the city is providing short-term accommodation to some people whose relatives are vulnerable Norway and Finland recognized early failings in community outreach in minority languages and are seeking to fix this has had high school students hand out leaflets in Somali urging people to wash their hands and stay home if sick With Sweden's relatively low-key approach to fighting the virus that relies mainly on voluntary social distancing there are concerns the message has not reached everyone in immigrant neighborhoods “It’s important that everyone living here who has a different mother tongue gets the right information,” said Warda Addallah said officials have worked harder on communicating with such groups "to make sure they have the knowledge to protect themselves and avoid spreading the disease to others.” But teacher and community activist Rashid Musa says the problem runs much deeper “I wish it were that easy — that you needed to just translate a few papers,” he said “We need to look at the more fundamental issue “The rich have the opportunity to put themselves into quarantine they can go to their summer houses,” Musa said A key government recommendation for individuals to work from home if possible is harder in marginalized areas where many have jobs in the service sector “How can a bus driver or a taxi driver work from home?” Musa asked Evidence of this disparity can be found in anonymous data aggregated by mobile phone operator Telia which has given the Swedish Health Authority information about population mobility By comparing the number of people in an area early in the morning with those who traveled to another area for at least an hour later in the day Telia estimates how many go to work and how many stay home “We do see certain areas that are maybe more affluent with a bigger number of people working from home,” said Kristofer Agren Data shows a 12 percentage point difference between Danderyd one with the highest percentage of first- and second-generation immigrants “Many of our members have contracted the coronavirus,” said Akil Zahiri who helps administer the mosque on the outskirts of Stockholm Zahiri spoke to the AP as he sat alone in Sweden’s largest Shiite mosque coordinating a video call with the congregation to pray for a member who died of COVID-19 The sound of prayer crackled through the computer the month when Muslims fast during the day Zahiri reminded the congregation to take part in social distancing the daily breaking of the fast after sunset Associated Press writers Jari Tanner in Helsinki rewritten or redistributed without permission an explosion occurred in the Electrum 1 building in Kista Here you will find an update on the incident emergency services and operating personnel from Akademiska Hus and EECS were quickly on the scene The police have opened a criminal investigation but there is currently no direct threat to KTH and its operations in Kista This means that teaching and laboratory activities continue as planned Any changes to this situation will be conveyed as soon as possible To increase safety and security in and around the building there will be 24-hours security guards on site The damage to the building includes the entrance area at Isafjordsgatan 22 minor damages inside and some windows facing the courtyard The emergency services and fire brigade quickly concluded that it was safe to stay in the building The main part of the building has thus been open and it has been possible to work on the other floors

Complex Congenital Heart Defect at birth and requires urgent raised the R5-million needed to pay for the life-saving surgery known as Tetralogy of Fallot with Pulmonary Atresia was first described by Cardio-Thoracic surgeons as a ‘monster in her chest.’ Kyleigh has already endured three open-heart surgeries along with countless non-invasive procedures that have done little to remedy her little heart The family received news from her medical team that they now had minimal options The first option was to wait for Kyleigh’s heart and lungs to start failing which would then qualify her for a heart and lung transplant The catch with this option is that organ donors are very limited and this kind of surgery has never been done on a paediatric patient more viable but very costly option was to get Kyleigh to the Boston Children’s Hospital in the USA where doctors could perform an innovative surgery that could save her The family reached out to the hospital and found the good news they were searching for The only catch with getting treatment overseas is the cost The family needed to raise R5 million so that Kyleigh would qualify for treatment in Boston The funds would need to be paid over before leaving South Africa Then the hospital could issue a motivational letter to aid Kyleigh’s visa process Thankfully, the R5 million was raised and paid over to the hospital Kyleigh’s medical visa has been approved and her surgery is set for the 24th of March Tyler Leigh Vivier is a writer for Good Things Guy Her passion is to spread good news across South Africa with a big focus

information was provided for public release on 27 March 2015 at 2:00 p.m Kungsleden’s business concept is to own manage and improve commercial properties in growth regions in Sweden and to deliver attractive total returns Kungsleden’s strategies to create value are based on meeting the premises requirements of customers by managing improving and developing properties and planning consents and by optimising the company’s property portfolio Kungsleden has been quoted on NASDAQ Stockholm since 1999 The summary reports are more detailed descriptions based on the SWOT analyses made before the summer when opportunities and risks as well as advantages and disadvantages of the move where identified The analyses have been developed by working groups in the School of Industrial Engineering and Management and the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science "This leads to questions that bring the alternatives to a head about how we can best organize and thereby strengthen KTH's education and research for the future," says Mikael Lindström Deputy President who led the review When it comes to the development of KTH's activities in Södertälje Either close down or to make substantial investments to reverse the trend and improve application pressure  "What we know for sure is that we cannot continue as we are," says Mikael Lindström who has visited Kista and Södertälje in recent weeks to collect questions and concerns from staff at the two campuses The in-depth report from the ITM school shows that there are advantages to an integrated environment for education and research on the KTH Campus there is a need to invest in experimental environments learning environments in undergraduate education in order to maintain quality It is unclear how a move might affect the staffing situation This requires a separate analysis of the economic situation  "Having the operations in Kista and Södertälje thoroughly analyzed from all the different perspectives is important and valuable and constitutes a very good basis for preparing the Board’s decision," says Mikael Lindström but here it isa question of moving the operations to KTH Campus or through major investments increasing the use of the Electrum lab and In the in-depth analysis of EECS activities in Kista produced by the working group where it is feared that it will be crowded if all activities students and staff are moved to Valhallavägen and in the final word it says "In the near future KTH Campus Valhallavägen cannot offer an equivalent alternative for continued development while maintaining quality But we are working as quickly as possible based on the well-prepared analyses that have been made and I would like to thank everyone who has participated for a good dialogue," says Mikael Lindström The next step is to present the results of the analyses to the University Board on 4 October KTH's management group will prepare a proposal on which the board can make an decision on 22 November Hera

Congenital Heart Defect at birth and needs urgent raised over R2-million to help towards the cost of her life-saving surgery “Kyleigh does not have the valve that connects the heart to the lungs the arteries that are meant to be attached to this value is free-floating and underdeveloped and not connected to her heart She has a large hole in heart and survives on 2 collateral arteries of which one has already started to narrow severely This all puts a lot of strain on her little body.“ says Serina Kista The family received news from her medical team that they now had very limited options The first option – wait for Kyleigh’s heart and lungs to start failing “Kyleigh would need to be condemned to significant suffering and damage to her heart and lungs before being admitted into ICU in a critical condition to be placed on a donor list and fight for her life with no guarantee of finding a donor in time “ more viable but very costly option is to get Kyleigh to the Boston Children’s Hospital in the USA where doctors can perform an innovative surgery that could save her “They proposed an innovative technique to repair her heart which they currently perform with great success at the hospital They will use Kyleigh’s current anatomy and reconstruct her blood vessels in order to flow effectively through her lungs while also incorporating her collateral arteries as part of this procedure,” says Serina Understanding the urgency of the procedure, the hospital kindly offered a reduced rate for the operation, which is still an astronomical amount for the family without power or influence. To fund the operation in the USA, estimated at R5 000 000 ($295,761), the family has launched a crowdfunding campaign on BackaBuddy to appeal to the public to support their final and only hope to save their little one “Boston Children’s Hospital has given us new hope and we are holding on to this option with all that is in us our little girl will never get the chance to grow up and have a normal With overwhelming support from over 1600 donors both locally and internationally over R2.3 million has already been raised on BackaBuddy which will be transferred directly to the medical facility in Boston “We received overwhelming support from family prayers and faith that Kyleigh will not only obtain the money for the procedure but will succeed through the procedure We felt hopeless and alone but today we have so many people coming to Kyleigh’s rescue to help us give a future an opportunity at life” says Kyleigh’s mother Time is of the essence; once funds are raised they will be paid to the Boston Children’s Hospital The hospital will then issue a letter of motivation so the family can apply for a medical visa which will allow them entry into the USA for the surgery and following recovery time Every day new people join the cause. Kyleigh has a mere three months to get this surgery, and time is already running away.
