Producing electrical power with photovoltaic solar panels is very attractive as the sun constitutes an inexhaustible source of clean energy. However, in order to make it a better alternative to other energy sources, its drawbacks must be addressed. In particular, scientific research is very active to find technologies that increase the efficiency of the solar cells, or decrease their cost. Reducin

Why is the risk of drowning so high? It is important to investigate existing situation: what are the reasons that create a danger, is there a main risk group, how the risk of drownin
The 2002 Ceasefire Agreement in Sri Lanka has resulted in mass-migration of IDPs back to their places of origin. Vanni, in the northern LTTE-controlled part of the country, is also seeing a large number of IDPs coming to settle, including Muslims that had been forced to leave the area by the LTTE. The question is how this resettlement process is taking place, who is involved in it, and what are th
