Regional economic integration is widely spread in Africa, and especially in the eastern region. Three countries in East Africa: Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, have engaged in various forms of integration since colonial times, and the cooperation has increased further since independence. Today, the East African Community (EAC) has been enlarged, with Rwanda and Burundi as new members, and a customs un
Like an Office is a project about leaving the school premises and meeting people with a different perspective on design. We have been working for local entrepreneurs and organizations to explore what non-designers expect from us as prospective professionals. We started off by taking on smaller tasks that were delivered to clients on an agreed deadline. As the project progressed we developed the “
Solen har lyst konstant på vår värld i fyra och en halv miljard år. Strålarna som värmer vår hud idag har känts av varenda person som någonsin levt. Solens strålar har rört vid dinosaurier, och hälsat på de första varelser som lämnade havens vatten för ett liv på land.Solen har varit vittne till allting som skett här på Jorden. Men den är ingen passiv iakttagare. Solen är vår planets kraftverk, deThe Sun has shone on our world for four and a half billion years. The light that warms our skin today has been felt by every person who has ever lived.It is our nearest star and our planet’s powerhouse, the source of the energy that drives our winds, our weather and all life.The passage of the Sun’s fiery disc across the sky — day by day, month by month — was the only way to keep track of time for
1. Grassland is an important habitat for butterflies and many other pollinating insects. Over half of the 501 European butterflies use grasslands as one of their main habitats.2. The Grassland Butterfly Index has been adopted by the EU as a key measure of progress towards the target of halting biodiversity loss, restoring nature in agro-ecosystems and reversing the decline in pollinators by 2030, 1.

With an increasing demand for rural resources and land, new challenges are approaching affecting and restructuring the European countryside. While creating opportunities for rural living, it has also opened a discussion on rural gentrification risks. The concept of rural gentrification encircles the influx of new residents leading to an economic upgrade of an area making it unaffordable for local With an increasing demand for rural resources and land, new challenges are approaching affecting and restructuring the European countryside.

This Master's thesis examines segregation between Swedes and immigrants in school, and more specifically segregation between the two elementary schools Vikingaskolan and Tunaskolan in Lund. This case provides a particularly interesting puzzle, since Lund doesn?t have any pronounced immigrant districts, and was also recognized nationally as best municipality for its schools (2004). In this thes
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Jordens klimat står under ständiga variationer och förändringar, och det är inte alltid lätt att sära på orsak och verkan bland den mängd av faktorer som styr klimatet. För att kunna reda ut ursprunget till de förändringar som sker, måste de bakomliggande processerna vara väl kända. Sedan är det möjligt att genom matematiska modeller uppskatta de individuella prSeveral studies have analysed the relationship between Normalised Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and radiative surface temperature. A main goal for most studies have been to find the best method for carrying out land cover classifications and to study land cover changes, based on a combination between the two parameters. Since atmospheric components have a significant influence on both paramet
Quinoa stalk (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) from agricultural crop residue, totora (Schoenoplectus tatora) and o-macrophytes (aquatic flora) from Lake Titicaca (on the Bolivian Altiplano) were studied in a wet anaerobic co-digestion process together with manure front llama, cow and sheep. Anaerobic semi-continuous experiments were performed in (10) 2-1 reactors at a temperature of 25 degrees C with 3
Fuel cells are considered as a promising alternative environmentally benign power source to the existing ones depending on petroleum oil. Especially, proton-exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) have been intensively developed during the last decade because of their wide application windows including various portable, stationary and transportation applications. The market has been and will be main
Zen Buddhists have long given the following advice to attain liberation: “Eat when you’re hungry. Sleep when you’re tired.” In other words: “Freedom” is the “knowledge of necessity” (Hegel, Marx, and Engels). Early Islamic communities dealt with the challenge of internal warfare and tyranny and concluded that, “sixty years of tyranny is better than one day’s anarchy.” In other words, the worst-cas
In a regional population of 32,120 liveborn newborn infants 65 (0.2%) had a birthweight less than or equal to 900 g (extremely small low birthweight = ESLBW) with mean gestational age 26.4 (range 22-31) completed weeks of gestation. The total 0-1 year survival rate was 48%. For the 42 infants treated in the Level III regional neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) the 0-1 year survival rate was 55% v
The ability to sense and accommodate to an ever-changing environment is crucial for the survival of living organisms. Transient Receptor Potential (TRP) ion channels comprise a large superfamily of cation conducting membrane proteins that function as molecular sensors in diverse sensory processes including perception of light, taste, smell, sound, touch and temperature. The TRP Ankyrin 1 (TRPA1) i
Synchrotron radiation sources have greatly contributed to the progress in many fields of science. The development of the storage ring technologies has made possible to obtain very low emittance electron beams, which together with the use of undulators allow guiding a very high photon flux into a very small spot required by the experiments. Development of the sources has been accompanied with equa
