Personas olvidadas: antiguos refugiados liberianos en Ghana

Más de tres años después de la cesación de la condición de refugiado para los refugiados liberianos, la viabilidad del esquema de integración de la CEDEAO instaurado como solución para los liberianos que permanecieron en Ghana parece limitada

Forgotten people: former Liberian refugees in Ghana

More than three years after the cessation of refugee status for Liberian refugees, the viability of the ECOWAS integration scheme implemented as a solution for those Liberians who continued to stay in Ghana is seen to be limited

Promoting the economic reintegration of returnees through vocational training: lessons from Liberia

Through a follow-up study, this article explores the role of vocational training programmes in promoting the economic reintegration of repatriated refugees in Liberia. In 2014, we conducted an initial study on livelihood outcomes of vocational training programmes provided by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization for Liberian returnees. By tracing the trained returnees two years after the completion of training, the article investigates the employment and economic conditions of these former beneficiaries and aims to provide valuable insights into the potential and limitations of vocational training programmes in relation to refugees’ economic reintegration post-repatriation

Automatic Testing of Rendering in Mobile and Desktop Web Browsers

WebGL is a standard for drawing graphics in a web browser. Currently it isn’t widely understood how consistently WebGL performs across a majority of the de- vices that support it. Determining if an image looks correct to a human observer is an interesting problem. The solution for this is useful when developing WebGL applications, since a developer could make better informed decisions during de- velopment. The differences in capability between WebGL implementations are studied, and a few factors are selected that likely will contribute to variations in the rendered output. These factors are found by studying the WebGL specification documen- tation, and in the cases where it is ambiguous, further, authorative sources have contributed to the choice of factors studied. A prototype testing system is developed, including a tool for simulating imple- mentation differences. Two image processing algorithms are evaluated for their suitability in an automatic testing system. For testing, four test cases are devel- oped. The testing system is run with the test cases on wide range of devices, both mobile and desktop. The results show that image processing is not suitable alone the source for deter- mining a test success or failure. However, some promise is shown in using image processing as one component in a fully automatic testing system. Furthermore, developing test cases that perform as the test constructor intends is proven to be a challenge in itself
