Spatial and temporal variations in malaria transmission are naturally associated with prevailing climatic and environmental factors, for example rainfall, humidity, temperature and human activities. These factors influence malaria transmission mainly in non-deterministic ways, making them less appropriate for accurate geographical mapping of malaria risk. One distinctive phenomenon, ‘photosyntheti

Due to the possibility of nanotechnology becoming the next general purpose technology, generating considerable socio-economic benefits, it has become popular with policy-makers and academics around the world, and led to massive investments in national R&D programmes. While in some cases nanotechnology is still in its early stages of research, in many others it has already resulted in innovatio

Väpnade konflikter och andra oroligheter i världen har lett till att många människor flyr sina hemländer och söker trygghet i något annat land. Många försöker ta sig till Europa. I brist på lagliga vägar tar många irreguljära vägar som ofta medför stora risker. Det vanligaste sättet är att korsa Medelhavet. De flesta båtfärder börjar i Turkiet med mål att ta sig till någon av de grekiska öarna.
