This report is about the housing situation in Manila, capital of the Philippines. 25% of the inhabitants in this mega city live in informal settlements, often on places unsuitable for living. The target area of this paper is Baseco, a large slum area near the outlet of Pasig River and home to 47 000 people according to the 2002 census. Among its many problems including overpopulation and poverty i

Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka om en implementering av svensk kod för bolagsstyrning påverkar företagets värde (approximativa Tobins Q). Dessutom hoppas vi ge svar på huruvida enskilda bolagsstyrningsvariabler från tidigare studier påverkar företagets värde. Arbetet använder sig av en kvantitativ metod för insamling av data till regressionsanalysen. Studien omfattar de svenska bolag som

Uppsatsen handlar om svensk kod för bolagsstyrning och om den innehåller något nytt för företagen som är registrerade på Stockholmsbörsens A-lista. Är några av de viktigaste delarna i Koden redan implementerade och i så fall bland alla börsnoterade företag på A-listan? Vi har i Delstudie I tagit fram de delar vi anser vara de viktigaste nyheterna i Koden och därefter i Delstudie II undersökt utifa

Sammanfattningsvis kan sägas att insamlingsorganisationernas arbete med fördelning av kostnader är en viktig del i deras arbete med att skapa legitimitet gentemot omgivningen. Tyvärr är dock reglerna de har att utgå ifrån något subjektiva vilket kan försvåra deras möjligheter till att vara tydliga och transparanta. Vi har sett att alla organisationers verksamheter påverkas av många olika faktorer

Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) represent a recent stage in open education. In more and more institutions they are moving from an early entrepreneurial stage into the reality. The rapidly rising participation levels, high visibility and a growing community worldwide prompt a number of important questions. The MOOC Quality Project, an initiative of the European Foundation for Quality in E-Learn

Background: Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus is an attractive hydrogen producer suitable for growth on various lignocellulosic substrates. The aim of this study was to quantify uptake of pentose and hexose monosaccharides in anindustrial substrate and to present a kinetic growth model of C. saccharolyticus that includes sugar uptake on defined and industrial media. The model is based on Monod

e summarize our successful efforts to support in-tuitive programming of industrial robotic assemblytasks with a knowledge based approach to the rep-resentation of skills. These skills can be specified,re-used, refined and transferred between robotswith the help of a multimodal interface combinedwith kinesthetic teaching. We argue that while itis certainly possible and suitable to have robotsacquir

Resource recovery and reuse (RRR) of fecal sludge (FS) from onsite sanitation systems describes the concept of turning human waste into valuable end products. However, studies on peoples’ perceptions of FS-derived products are still limited. Guided by the knowledge, attitudes and practices framework, and data from a survey of 395 households, focus group discussions and key informant interviews, th

The aim of the paper is to present films made by Latin American filmmakers in Sweden and which constitute a minor cinema according to David James’ definition. In the early 1980s Sweden had Europe’s largest population of people from Chile. Among these were several filmmakers, intellectuals or other who began to collaborate on film projects in Sweden. This work, with a few exceptions, has been ignor
