Concerns about water scarcity in Sub-Saharan African countries, difficulties in accessing a safe and reliable water source is becoming a serious threat to both child health and mortality reduction. The major challenges of water access condition in most Sub-Saharan Africa nations are depending on water source and daily water fetching time. This thesis will look into these two factors, examining the
Agencies obligation to report according to the Swedish Social Service Law (2001:453) 14 chapter 1 § is an important obligation to uphold children’s rights. When children are maltreated due to the conditions at home, agencies have a responsibility to help. Constantly we hear from the media about children who live with anomaly. Therefore it is highly current to examine the obligation to report. Chil
Problem IKEA uses a standard store concept when building IKEA stores. Developing a standard store concept simplifies the procedure to build many similar stores in a more efficient way. However, a difficulty in the process of establishing and using a standardised concept is how to continuously update the concept itself. Today there are big differences in retail construction costs between different
This paper provides an answer to the requests that has been made for witness confrontations to become an accurate and reliable tool in the court. This was achieved by the development and testing of the Guilty Face Test (GFT). Facial stimuli was used in a Target Present lineup were the enhanced elicitation of the Even-Related Potential component P300 confirmed recognition of the culprit. The partic
This master’s thesis contributes to the theoretical development of the role of intelligence services in state-building. To that end it establishes a theoretical framework consisting of current research in the field of intelligence and state-building. The role of the Kenyan intelligence services in the Kenyan state-building endeavor is then thoroughly analyzed using a range of primary and secondary
Experimental studies of infinitely repeated games typically consist of several indefinitely repeated games (“matches”) played in sequence with different partners each time, whereby match length, i.e. the number of stages of each game is randomly determined. Using a large meta data set on indefinitely repeated prisoner's dilemma games (Dal Bó and Fréchette, 2018) we demonstrate that the realized le
We report on the ultrafast dynamics of charge order and structural response during the photoinduced suppression of charge and orbital order in a mixed-valence manganite. Employing femtosecond time-resolved resonant x-ray diffraction below and at the Mn K absorption edge, we present a method to disentangle the transient charge order and structural dynamics in thin films of Pr0.5Ca0.5MnO3. Based on
The influence of intrinsic chain stiffness on surface forces in solutions containing semiflexible polymers is investigated with density functional theory. The solvent is included explicitly, but comparisons are also made with exact results obtained with ideal chains, in the absence of solvent particles. We find that as the intrinsic stiffness increases, the polymers are at intermediate separations
This paper deals with geographical and organizational patterns of knowledge flows in the media industry of southern Sweden, an industry that is characterized by a strong ?symbolic? knowledge base. The aim is to address the question of the local versus the non-local as the prime arena for knowledge exchange, and to examine the organizational patterns of knowledge sourcing with specific attention pa
In this thesis, the currently much debated issues of Land Policy Development and Land Reform are discussed. The authors use existing theories on the topic and these are then applied on three East African case countries; namely Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda. The authors recognise the especially deprived role of women’s land related rights and this matter is given extra attention. It is concluded that
The purple color of the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grain is attributed to anthocyanins which are beneficial for human health. Synthesis of these pigments in both grain and vegetative tissues is controlled by ANT1 and ANT2 that belong to the families R2R3-MYB and bHLH of transcription factors, respectively. Here, we investigated the role of the Ant2 gene in pigmentation of grains compared to veget
