Kenya as a country is known for its ethnic diversity and boasts of over 42 ethnic/tribes communities that for many years have lived together in harmony and respect for each other. In the face of this harmonious cohesion between the different communities, there have been sporadic threats on issues of resource distribution and political differences that have cultivated ethnic/tribal hatred and fight
The first condition for the legal use of force in self-defence is that the state exercising this right is the victim of an armed attack. Typically, an armed attack is carried out across the frontier of the aggressor state into the territory of the victim state. Armed attacks can also be launched from third states, as well as not involve the territory of any other state than the aggressor state. De
Growing concerns for environmental issues and product safety for users have shifted research interests towards the use of renewable resources and climate-neutral processes. The enzymatic approach having high selectivity under mild reaction conditions is promising, and the nature-originating products are well accepted. Alkyl glycosides (AGs) consisting of fatty alcohol and sugar are nonionic surfac
Solar access describes the amount and distribution of sunlight in living environments. Access to sunlight is crucial for the health and sustainability of cities. It is vital for people and vegetation, and for energy production and conservation. The amount of sunlight entering the city space is restricted by the urban layout, as buildings obstruct solar access by shading each other and the surround
Hematological malignancies are defined by their underlying genetic alterations, many of which are used to diagnose patients to classify them to different risk groups that dictate the therapy given. Recent advances in high-throughput sequencing have highlighted the presence of co-occurring genetic lesions and that they may form distinct genetic clones that evolve throughout disease progression. Acu
Combatting human smuggling and human trafficking has been one of the priority objectives of the EU and its Member States in their efforts to decrease the number of migrants arriving in EU territory. The development of strong cooperation with third-countries has been considered indispensable to the effectiveness of what is often described in EU documents as the ‘fight’ against human trafficking and
In the present work, heat transfer within gas turbine applications are investigated bothexperimentally and numerically. The main content concerns heat transfer and fluidflow over the pocket region and cooling of a turbine blade.A pocket cavity is generated at the junction part of the low pressure turbine (LPT) andthe outlet guide vane (OGV) in the rear part of a gas turbine engine. The heat transf
External Thermal Insulation Composite Systems (ETICS) represent a popular modern facade for reducing energy consumption, particularly in retrofit applications. Insulation - typically in the form of either EPS (expanded polystyrene) or mineral wool - is applied to the exterior of buildings using mortar adhesive, and then coated with a final layer of sand-cement render and glass fibre reinforcement.
Background: Radiotherapy reduces the risk of local recurrence in rectal cancer. However, the optimal radiotherapy fractionation and interval between radiotherapy and surgery is still under debate. We aimed to study recurrence in patients randomised between three different radiotherapy regimens with respect to fractionation and time to surgery. Methods: In this multicentre, randomised, non-blinded,
Popular Abstract in Swedish Det övergripande syftet med föreliggande studie är tudelat. För det första syftar den till att på teoretisk väg etablera en dialog mellan queerteoretisk och socialpsykologisk teoribildning om aktörer och aktörsskap med utgångspunkt i en kritisk läsning av Judith Butler och George Herbert Mead. För det andra syftar den till att på empirisk väg utveckla och fördjupa dennaIn her widely quoted and criticised Gender Trouble, Judith Butler elaborates the idea that gender needs to be understood as performative – a certain kind of “doing” within the regulative realm of a hegemonic heterosexuality that is assumed to govern intelligible bodily configurations. Drawing mainly on psychoanalytical and Foucaultian arguments, Butler dwells upon questions concerning power and su

I dagens samhälle finns en ökande trend avseende användning av trä som bärande konstruktionsmaterial, särskilt i bostadshus. En relativt ny träprodukt är korslimmat massivträ (KL-trä). De olika KL-träskivorna inom en golv- eller takkonstruktion ansluts vanligtvis till varandra med skruvförband. Såväl skivans styvhet som anslutningens styvhet påverkar konstruktionens beteende vid horisontell belastSince ancient times, buildings have been constructed with the use of timber and during the modern era, new types of timber products have been developed. Today, more constructions, especially residential buildings are being built with timber as the main load-bearing material. By utilizing timber in buildings, the amount of greenhouse gases emitted in production decreases compared to other common ma
Climate change shocks and stresses are expected to increasingly affect urban areas in Sub-Sahara Africa (SSA). However, there remain gaps in understanding local precipitation extremes and influential factors that can enhance urban resilience. This study synthesized determinants of urban resilience, investigated historic and projected precipitation extremes up to the year 2050. Also assessed were f
Introduction. Building block chemicals, such as butanol, can be produced via fermentation and biobased feedstocks as a more sustainable alternative compared to the current petrochemical methods. However, the butanol fermentation is subjected to low product titres (<20 g/L) due to product inhibition of the bacteria [1]. To overcome this continuous fermentation can be applied, as it offers considera
Cellular-based localization and sensing pave the way for a variety ofapplications across various domains, ranging from autonomous driv-ing to emergency care and intelligent traffic management. Althoughtraditional methods have been effective, they still face challenges such as therequirement for highly accurate models and the inherent complexity of thealgorithms. This thesis explores the potential
Rapid warming in the Arctic is transforming northern ecosystems and altering their role in the global carbon cycle. Rising temperatures are driving shifts in vegetation composition, phenology, and ecosystem functioning, including earlier growing seasons and the expansion of shrubs across tundra landscapes. These changes influence surface energy balance, carbon uptake, and climate feedbacks, yet su
Bilden av Sverige som ett land utan grov organiserad brottslighet har successivt kommit att förändras. Grov organiserad brottslighet är inte längre något som svenskarna enbart associerar med södra Italien och Francis Ford Coppolas kultförklarade film Gudfadern. Som en del av denna utveckling inleddes under 2007 regeringens mobilisering mot grov organiserad brottslighet, vilken i huvudsak har kommiThe self-image of Sweden as a country without organized crime has gradually been changing. Organized crime is no longer something that the Swedes associate with southern Italy or Francis Ford Coppola’s cult film The Godfather. In 2007, the Swedish government initiated a mobilization against organized crime, which in essence came to mean two things. Firstly, the government founded an extensive coop
För att förstå skatterättens effekt på det svenska samhället krävs kontinuerlig utredning och utvärdering av regleringarna. Med anledning av detta undersöks i denna uppsats fåmansföretagsbeskattnings effekt på samhället utifrån ett neutralitetsperspektiv. Genom en fördjupad analys klargörs hur neutrala fåmansföretagsbeskattningens regleringar kan anses vara vid val av associationsform. Med dennTo understand the effect of tax law on the Swedish society, continuous investigation and evaluation of regulations is required. With this in mind, this thesis investigates the effect of close company taxation on society from a neutrality perspective. Through a deep analysis, it becomes clear how neutral the regulations for close company taxation are when choosing the form of association. Based on
