Understanding the sustainability concept: According to the UN World Commission on Environment,(Borowy, 2013) it is the balance between environment, economy, and equity. The development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Rauschmayer et al., 2012). Sustainability is integration of the environmental health, social equity, and
Abstract The pursuit of enhancing police force in providing its services to the community has become one of the leading global efforts for promoting and upholding good governance and sustainable development in Uganda. The purpose of this study was to explore those national best practices in policing as a service provider in Uganda. The specific objectives were; to finding out the Services provided
Marine copepods are the most abundant type of zooplankton of the ocean in terms of biomass. They imprint their surrounding waters with a unique signature of chemical compounds, out of which copepodamides stand out. These polar lipids are recognized by some phytoplanktonic species, who induce defensive traits in response, including bioluminescence and toxin production, colony size plasticity or str
Lake Victoria, the second-largest freshwater lake globally, holds immense geographical and economic importance in East Africa. Shared by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda, it influences diverse sectors such as ecology, hydrology, transportation, fisheries, agriculture, tourism, and energy production. Despite its strategic location and economic significance, the riparian states have not fully exploited i
Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are being widely employed globally to enhance marine safety services and address challenges within the maritime sector. Nevertheless, the provision of these services in East Africa, particularly within the Lake Victoria basin, is deficient and inadequate. Consequently, a study needs to be undertaken to pinpoint certain domains in marine safety that may be
This essay aims at contributing to the existing knowledge about Result Based Financing (RBF) programs to poor and mid income countries. Results Based Financing (RBF) program may be referred to as an umbrella term referring to any program or intervention that provides rewards to individuals or institution after agreed-upon results are achieved and verified (URT 2015). The RBF program was introduced
Uganda faces various challenges related to compliance, including tax evasion, regulatory non- compliance, and violations of legal standards, laws, policies and regulations among others. These issues undermine the government's ability to collect revenue, provide public services, and maintain law and order. Enhancing compliance is not only a matter of enforcing penalties but also involves creati
This chapter addresses the background of the study, statement of the problem, objectives or aims of the study research questions, significance of the study and scope of the study. The Uganda Maritime Regulatory Framework is a Service that helps to overcome borders and barriers that affect interaction and form a greater part of probably the most characteristic dimension of cross - border networks t
This section gives an overview of Lake Victoria, that is currently underutilized for cargo transportation by the 3 East African states of Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania, despite the great potential of this shared water body for multimodal transport and trade opportunities. In order to sustainably develop infrastructure on Lake Victoria, the three member states must adopt sustainable business models t
Semi-natural grasslands in Scandinavia have been created by humans since many millennia ago, but the agricultural intensification in the last few centuries caused them to decline heavily. Accordingly, the biodiversity associated to these open, nutrient-poor habitats declined as well and many remnant populations are slowly declining and threatened to go extinct. In this study, I focused on declin
Insects are the most diverse group of animals, and among the largest contributors to species richness, accounting for around 66% of known species on Earth. Insects are extremely important pollinators, and to understand the timing of pollination, age distribution within time could give important information. Pollinator phenologies advance more rapidly than plant phenologies that can lead to pollina
The Aim of this thesis was to answer the research question “what are the actors that create an social atmosphere and how do these actors collectively form and maintain the affective atmosphere at maid cafes”. This was done by explaining the modern life in japan with muen shakai, and the collapse of the traditional family structure. This was then put in connection to an explanation of previous rese
The endemic Philippine crocodile (Crocodylus mindorensis) is considered the most threatened crocodile species globally and is listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List. The species was considered extinct on Luzon Island until the discovery of a remnant population in 1999. This led to the first in-situ conservation measures and later community-based conservation. Public perception has pr
We provide an introduction to the theory of tensor triangular geometry. In particular sufficient foundations from the theory of triangulated categories are introduced so as to be able to cover the theory of geometry for essentially small tensor triangulated categories, and to cover a theory of tensor actions, with corresponding geometric notions, for rigidly compactly generated tensor triangulated
Introductions of managed honeybees has been shown to negatively affect wild bees due to increased competition for resources, which threatens to dismantle key ecosystem functions such as pollination. This thesis aims to assess the influence of hive proximity on wild bee richness and abundance, as well as niche overlap, and if these processes are mediated by functional traits and environmental facto
The Gulf of Thailand is a region with a relatively high coral cover, despite having many stressors on the reef such as the bi-annual monsoon and high temperatures. Assessing coral reefs in this area can provide insight into how these reefs maintain their coral cover and seem to replenish the reef, increasing resilience to future extreme events. This study assesses the conditions on the reef flat a
The understanding of interspecific interactions is key to understanding the complexity, diversity, and evolution of land plants. Bryophytes, including mosses, are a diverse group of non-vascular plants that are especially important to study, as they are key parts of ecosystems, are chemically diverse, and have a gametophyte dominant life history. Genetic studies revolving around interspecific inte
Sammanfattning Som en konsekvens av den pågående debatten om vattenkraftverkens samhällsnytta och klimatpåverkan finns ett allt större krav på att riva eller miljöanpassa kraftverksdammar i Sverige. I Rönne å i Klippans kommun har tre vattenkraftverk lagt ner sin elproduktion i samband med att dammarna ska rivas nästa år. I det här examensarbete tar jag ställning till en ny potentiell framtid för
In this thesis we performed a pooled cohort study to investigate the role of radiomics in head and neck cancer prognosis. The aim was to investigate prognostic value for overall survival and cancer recurrence of radiomics combined with previously studied demographic and clinical risk factors. Radiomics features were extracted from the gross tumor volume on a computed tomography captured prior to r
In the past decade, studies have examined how the Russian-speaking minority reacted to changes in citizenship, language, and memory politics. However, one aspect that has not been studied is the response to educational policy changes during an ongoing conflict. This study investigates the resistance strategies of Russian-speaking mesolevel actors against minority education policy changes before an
