This thesis explores the potential of mhealth methods, seeking to understand why mhealth would be advantageous to traditional methods as a means to provide information regarding sexual and reproductive health (SRH) for youth in Kenya and what prerequisites exists for it to be successfully adopted among the youth and why. It is investigated with a qualitative approach, with the use of expert interv
2019 års Haagkonvention om erkännande och verkställighet av utländska domar på privaträttens område förutses träda i kraft i EU den 1 september i år. Konventionen blir därmed direkt tillämplig i Sverige. Målet med konventionen är att den ska förbättra tillgången till effektiva rättsmedel på en global nivå, vilken i sin tur ska minska de risker och kostnader som vanligtvis är förknippade med gränsöThe Hague Judgments Convention is predicted to enter into force in the EU on September 1st this year. Consequently, the Convention will be directly applicable in Sweden. The objective of the Convention is to improve access to effective remedies on a global level, and in turn reduce the risks and costs typically associated with cross-border dispute resolution. The hope is that the Convention will p
Social, ecological, and cultural impacts associated with the U.S. military in Hawaii are egregious. However, due to the historical oppressions and injustices to Hawaiians, the U.S. military maintains their hegemony by wielding a disproportionate decisive political and economic power. This study aims to explore perceptions of Native Hawaiian and non-native activists regarding the military impacts a
This thesis investigates the decision-making process that led to the rapid adoption of small-scale hydropower projects, and its social implications, in Kosovo between 2013 and 2021. However, the fairness of the decision-making process for hydropower projects has been heavily criticized by local communities and NGOs. This research links procedural justice concerns voiced by a small community in Sou
Double taxation has been widely accepted that constitutes an obstacle to the functioning of the single market. The European Union has adopted some uniform measures to have double taxation eliminated, for example, the Parent-Subsidiary Directive and the Interest-Royalty Directive. In addition, the Arbitration Convention has been concluded between Member States to eliminate double taxation in respec
This paper examines the relationship between oil prices and its pass-through to inflation and inflation differentials in the European Monetary Union from the first quarter of 1999 to the last quarter of 2021. By using local projections to derive impulse response functions of an oil price shock, the pass-through to the inflation level is examined focusing on the role of energy-related transmission
The rapid development of information and communication technology (ICT) has affected all aspects of business, including health care. One of the most important contributions of ICT to healthcare system effectiveness is the creation of electronic health records (EHRs). EHRs are considered as the critical source of providing information in a healthcare system. The purpose of this study is to evaluate

Biofouling is a crucial factor in membrane bioreactor (MBR) applications, particularly for high organic loading operations. This paper reports a study on biofouling in an MBR to establish a relationship between critical flux, J(c), mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) (ranging from 5 to 20 g L-1) and volumetric loading rate (6.3 kg COD m(-3) h(-1)) of palm oil mill effluent (POME). A lab-scale 100
Bakgrund: Inom röntgenavdelningens högteknologiska miljö är det av vikt att identifiera åtgärder som kan minska stress och oro hos barnet med autism och möjliggöra att en radiografisk undersökning kan utföras. Autism är ett brett diagnosspektrum och varje barn med autism är unikt och har individuella behov som behöver beaktas i en vårdsituation för att skapa trygghet liksom minimera stress och oro
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur särskilt begåvade gymnasieelever skattade sin självkänsla, attityd mot lärare, attityd mot skolan, målvärdering samt motivation jämfört med en jämförelsegrupp bestående av normalbegåvade gymnasieelever. En jämförelse gjordes även mellan könen för att se om det förelåg några skillnader. Dessutom undersöktes om några av de särskilt begåvade gymnasieeleverna bThe aim of this study was to examine how gifted high school students rated their academic self-perception, attitude toward teachers, attitude toward school, goal valuation and motivation compared to a control group consisting of non-gifted high school students. A comparison between sexes was also made to examine whether they differed or not. The study also examined if any of the gifted students ha
Abstract Objective. Only a minority of patients with low-risk prostate cancer needs treatment, but the methods for optimal selection of patients for treatment are not established. This article describes the Study of Active Monitoring in Sweden (SAMS), which aims to improve those methods. Material and methods. SAMS is a prospective, multicentre study of active surveillance for low-risk prostate can
The Ebola virus (EBOV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (RdRp) complex consists of the catalytic subunit of the polymerase, L, and its cofactor VP35. Using immunofluorescence analysis and coimmunoprecipitation assays, we mapped the VP35 binding site on L. A core binding domain spanning amino acids 280-370 of L was sufficient to mediate weak interaction with VP35, while the entire N-terminus up to amin
A measurement is presented of the inclusive cross-section for b-jet production in association with a Z boson in pp collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of root s = 7 TeV. The analysis uses the data sample collected by the ATLAS experiment in 2010, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of approximately 36 pb(-1). The event selection requires a Z boson decaying into high P-T electrons or muons,
New methodologies based on supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) have been developed for the determination of fat-soluble vitamins in processed foods. The results obtained so far indicate that SFE is well suited to extraction of fat-soluble vitamins from food products, although validation work is required to establish accuracy and precision. The vitamins investigated were A, E and beta-carotene, an
Four exposures of Chicxulub impact ejecta along the Mexico-Belize border have been sampled and analyzed for major and trace element abundances. The ejecta deposits consist of a lower spheroid bed, containing clay and dolomite spheroids, and an upper diamictite bed with boulders and clasts of limestone and dolomite. The matrix of both beds is composed of clay and micritic dolomite. The rare earth
CELSIUS Heavy-Ion Collision Silicon detector system (CHICSi) is a large solid angle, barrel-shaped detector system, housing up to 600 detector telescopes arranged in rotational symmetry around the beam axis. CHICSi measures charged particles and fragments from nuclear reactions. It operates at internal targets of storage rings. In order to optimize space and momentum-space coverage and minimize th
Popular summary: Air quality data mart built in this study consists of historical air pollutant data for cities across Ontario. This data is available at the Ontario ministry of environment website from 2000-2007 for most of the cities. There is missing data for some of the cities and some pollutants as well. It is because the monitoring of those specific pollutants did not commence in or before 2
This paper explores associations between education and life expectancy by sex at the district level in Costa Rica for the Census years 1984, 2000 and 2011. Previous research on the topic have shown mixed results on the gradient between SES and health outcomes for Costa Rica. This ecological study is the first to use districts as the unit of observation, which allows for a more elaborate analysis i
