Magister Legum - LLM / This research paper aimed to explore the relevant circumstances that the legislature has specified must be considered before an eviction application is granted and the meaning that the courts have given these circumstances in both Section 26(3) of the South African Constitution and enabling legislation. It also explored whether a transformative interpretation has been given to the meaning of "all relevant circumstances" within the legislation, its proposed amendments, and by the courts. / South Africa

A Multi-tenant architecture is a cost optimization for Software as a Service, where customers, also referred to as tenants are consolidated into the same server. The main idea of this architecture is to consolidate as many tenants as possible into the same server to reduce the total cost for the service provider. However, the contention of shared resources can lead to reduced performance for the tenants. One shared resource between the tenants is the data-layer.This thesis aims to analyze and to do a performance evaluation of different data-layer designs in a Multi-tenant architecture. The thesis compares three data-layer designs implemented in a RDBMS.An experiment was performed to evaluate the transactions per secondfor tenants when both the amount of data and the number of tenants increase. The evaluations were computed for the Create, Read, Update and Delete operations, also known as the CRUD-operations.Three data-layer designs were tested in the experiment; Shared table design, where tenants share the same database system as well as the tables, Separated table design, where tenants share the same database system but store and query data to their own private tables and Oracle Multi-tenant, where each tenant gets its own database.The experiment indicates that the Oracle Multi-tenant has the highest performance while the Shared table design suffers when both the number of tenants and the amount of data increase. / Multi-tenant arkitektur är en kostnadsoptimering för mjukvara som tillhandahålls över ett nätverk. Användarna, tenants är då betjänade av samma serverdator. Uppdraget för serverdatorn är att betjäna så många tenants som möjligt för att reducera kostnader för mjukvaruägaren. Men att dela resurser mellan tenants kan leda till försämrad prestanda. En delad resurs mellan tenants är dataskiktet.Målet med denna uppsats är att göra en analys och ett prestandatest av olika uppsättningar av dataskikt i en Multi-tenant arkitektur. Uppsatsen fokuserar endast på olika uppsättningar i ett RDBMS.Ett experiment utfördes där antalet tenants och data ökade för varje uppsättning. Experimentet evaluerade prestanda av Create, Read, Update och Delete operationer, även känt som CRUD-operationer. Tre uppsättningar testades; Shared table design, där tenants delar databas och tabeller, Separated table design, där tenants delar databas, men lagrar data i sina egna tabeller och Oracle Multi-tenant, där varje tenant får en egen databas.Experiment visar att Oracle Multi-tenant har högst prestanda medan Shared table design har lägst när antalet tenants och mängd data ökar.

Tenant representation är som bransch befinner sig i sin expansionsfas och har funnits på den svenska marknaden sedan tidigt 90-talet. Tjänsten tenant representation kommer ifrån den engelska och amerikanska marknaden och således ligger dessa marknader i framkant. Arbetet behandlar utbudet, utvecklingen och framtidsutsikterna på Stockholms tenant represantationmarknad. Arbetet stödjer sig till stor del på intervjuer av representanter från aktörer på Stockholms tenant representationmarknad. Arbetet hämtar även inspiration från tidigare arbeten och till viss del litteratur. Olika trender på marknaden som märks av är att medvetenheten och efterfrågan på tenant representation ökar samt att rekryteringsmöjligheterna har ökat. Svaren i intervjuerna har inte visat orsaken till de ökade rekryteringsmöjligheterna, men ett antagande är att utbildningar har anpassat sig till marknadernas behov. Tjänsterna inom tenant representation utvecklas även i en sådan riktning att TR företaget binder sig under kunden under en längre tid. Detta samtidigt som företagen har olika överlämningspunkter så att kunden inte upplever samarbetet som onödigt. De intervjuade företagen har en tydlig bild av sina konkurrenter och upplever att marknaden räcker för alla. Konkurrens efterfrågas då det skulle underlätta spridningen av TR tjänsterna och förbättra kvaliteten på dessa. Aktörerna på marknaden verkar även ha blivit bättre på att följa upp sina kundkontakter. Detta kan ha en positiv påverkan på förtroendet för TR marknadens aktörer.

A internet não possui, por padrão, formas inteligentes de proteção e priorização do tráfego, levando à utilização de tecnologias externas para suprir estas necessidades. Todavia, a utilização destas tecnologias tem tornado-se cada vez mais complexa em virtude de um fenômeno conhecido como ossificação das redes IP, conforme Mckeown et al. (2008). Em busca de solucionar os problemas enfrentados pelas redes atuais e prover maior flexibilidade e capacidades inovadores, surge a Software Defined Network (SDN), tecnologia que visa trazer uma série de vantagens para as redes de dados atuais através de sua arquitetura. Neste trabalho é proposta a VoIPath, uma solução baseada em SDN que implementa uma técnica de seleção de caminhos com base em atributos específicos, relevantes para o tráfego VoIP. Para processar estes atributos e identificar os melhores caminhos para o tráfego VoIP é empregado um algoritmo criado com programação linear, onde um volume de tráfego VoIP é dividido entre diferentes caminhos, com base em opções de execução da solução. Para controlar a propagação do tráfego é empregada uma tecnologia baseada em SDN a Virtual Tenant Networks (VTN), através desta o tráfego é conduzido por uma rede lógica, chamada de tenant. O mapeamento destas redes lógicas na rede SDN física garante a passagem do tráfego pelos caminhos selecionados. Por fim é realizada uma série de experimentos para demonstrar a efetividade da solução, bem como melhorias na qualidade do áudio, calculadas com base em um modelo de avaliação de qualidade de tráfego VoIP. / With increasing adoption of voice communications through data networks, technology known as VoIP, both advantages and issues have become apparent. The second group caused by the contrast between the nature of data networks and the needs of VoIP traffic. By default, data networks do not have smart structures to protect and prioritize traffic. In order to achieve these characteristics external technologies are deployed, but the utilization of such strategy has become complex due to a phenomenon described as network ossification (MCKEOWN et al., 2008). In order to provide solutions to the problems of the actual data networks architecture and provide greater flexibility, comes in scene the SDN technology. The SDN architecture unleashes a new horizon of possibilities to the networks. This work proposes the VoIPath solution, which consists of a implementation of a SDN based path selection technique, oriented by specific relevant attributes to the VoIP traffic. A algorithm created with linear programming is employed to compute these attributes and identify the best paths to the VoIP traffic, which is divided through the network, in according to execution parameters. In order to control the traffic propagation is employed the VTN technology, which consists on an SDN based solution. Through VTN technology the VoIP traffic is forwarded through an logical network called tenant. The mapping of the tenant over the physical network ensures that the selected paths are employed. To ensure the solution’s effectiveness a series of experiments are performed and the impact of its’s execution on the audio is calculated with the usage of an VoIP quality measurement evaluation model.

Urban Renewal in North America is turning its focus from Clearance and Redevelopment of already deteriorated areas to the Rehabilitation and Conservation of areas which are beginning to deteriorate. This preventative approach is deemed to be much less expensive as well as being effective for a much larger area. This new focus is backed up by federal legislation to provide financial assistance and by an increasing sense of collective responsibility in federal and municipal governments for the physical condition of the individual properties which together comprise the physical city. Single family residential areas comprise the largest single land use in most North American cities, and it is these areas particularly which could be aided by positive Rehabilitation-Conservation programs. It is frequently claimed that "absentee landlordism" is a major cause of residential blight. The absentee landlord has largely become a villain in the eyes of social reform groups who provide part of the motivation for urban renewal. Tenancy is defined for the purposes of this study as a form of tenure in which occupancy is by persons other than the registered owner thus objectively describing the same situation which is decried as "absentee landlordism." As the validity of the causal effect of tenancy upon the level of housing condition has been questioned by F.H. Hendricks, and as clarification of such facts is necessary before establishing objectives for Rehabilitation-Conservation this question has herein been investigated. The specific hypothesis is that: Tenant occupancy of urban single family residences (1) is a major cause of blight; and (2) requires special treatment in municipal Rehabilitation and Conservation programs. A review of the literature reinforced by a case study of tenancy in single family dwellings in Vancouver, B.C., suggested that there is reason to doubt such a causal effect. The relation between tenancy and poor building condition was verified for low income areas in Vancouver although it did not hold true for higher income areas. A correlation however does not establish a causal relation and subsequent analysis suggests tenancy is more caused than causal. The establishment of a general causal theory of blight by analysis of urban renewal literature indicates tenancy has a minor deteriorating effect on single family dwelling condition in areas already deteriorating. More significantly the theory indicates tenancy is caused by the two factors of encroaching incompatible land uses and low income, which are determined to be the basic causes of residential blight. It is concluded that in a consideration of the relation between tenancy and blight there are two areas of concern: low income which is a basic cause of both tenancy and blight; and the secondary blighting influence of tenancy itself within low income areas. It is in these low income areas that the incidence of both tenancy and blight are concentrated. A comprehensive urban renewal program is recommended which includes two essential features. They are increased low income family housing within viable neighbourhoods, followed by enforced renewal of blighted existing housing. Housing in the form of row houses or maisonettes could include the advantages of the single family dwelling while at the same time keep the cost of the required land to a minimum. Political factors suggest the financing of housing, as compared to increasing the financing of individual families directly, is also the more practical means of increasing low real income. It is posited that these two measures in the order recommended will expand the choice of the low income tenant beyond the supply of single family dwellings predominantly offered by speculators in rental housing, and will increase the low level of dwelling condition within the problematic low income areas without throwing an unmanageable financial burden upon the area's present occupants. / Applied Science, Faculty of / Community and Regional Planning (SCARP), School of / Graduate

At present the office real estate market in Sweden faces new challenges since the economic and real estate crisis of 2008-2010 years. Since the time of economic and real estate crisis of 2008-2010 years, the office real estate market has started to face new challenges. For example, office vacancy rates have increased significantly and challenges how to find the tenant for office premises became very actual. At the same time the demand for high quality office premises still exists on the market but with new requirements to the standards of the office working space. It is happening because the employees’ needs and requirements become more oriented to the comfort and safety of the working place. The employers try to keep and motivate employees by providing the most efficient and comfortable office space to work in and balance on cost-quality issues at the same time. In order to influence on demand from tenants’ and empower tenant search process the landlords have to use new, more competitive methods. The external design of the building and internal design of the office space in particular become more and more significant in leasing, sub-leasing and buying premises property purchase at the real estate office market. It is also useful and important because tenants can change the interior and design project upon their business needs and company’s strategies. The aim of this research paper is to set up the hypothesis that the office’s space design has a significant influence on tenant search process, plays the key role in so-called optimal office for tenant and tests above mentioned hypothesis by the empirical research study (method of questionnaire) among real “market players”-tenant representatives, consulting agencies and property owners. The location for the research and analysis activities is selected as Stockholm and Stockholm’s region, time frame is September - October 2010.
