Background An increasing amount of waste is generated in developing countries, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. A key component in dealing with this growing concern is well-functioning waste logistics. While waste logistics is complicated in general, it is even more complex in developing countries as a result of lacking infrastructure and resources. As research on management practices in Africa

The pressing issue of sustainability necessitates a broader collaboration span across all fields, such as finance and communication. Investments hold substantial power in the current sustainability reform, and it is therefore crucial that they not only meet the escalating demands of society but also actively contribute to forging a better future. The financial industry continues to grapple with ne

Alongside global acknowledgements of the gendered nature of conflict, the academic field of transitional justice is shifting towards the newly emerging concept of transformative justice. Within this, reparations are particularly seen as the most agent-centric tool for structural transformation. In northeastern Nigeria, the conflict between Boko Haram and the state has seen a prevalence of conflict

Rekryteringslandskapet har förändrats och nya intelligenta lösningar träder fram. Idag kan AI-verktyg spela en viktig roll genom att attrahera potentiella kandidater, publicera annonser och göra urval, vilket resulterar i en betydligt mer effektiv och automatiserad rekryteringsprocess. AI-baserad rekrytering kritiseras ofta för att vara bias och därav fokuserar stor del av den nuvarande AI-forskni

Access to mobility and migration have become highly charged topics. Since the so-called refugee crisis in 2015 the EU has developed a holistic approach to control migration. The 2015 European Agenda on Migration is a policy which has significantly shaped mobility governance since being implemented. However, this response has been heavily criticised. The aim of this thesis is to understand how the

Idag har sociala medieplattformar utvecklats till att bli den främsta informationskällan för nyheter bland unga vuxna. Det traditionella broadcast utbudet är inte längre tillräckligt för att nå ut till målgruppen, vilket har gjort att dagens public service organisationer idag behöver se över hur man når ut och kommunicerar sitt innehåll. Ett sätt att förbli relevanta och behålla sin legitimitet soToday, social media platforms have become the main source of news information among young adults. The traditional broadcast media is no longer enough to reach the target audience, which has put pressure on public service media to review and develop how they communicate. One way to remain relevant and maintain the position as a legitimate news actor is to establish and build relationships with youn

The experiment at Argonne National Laboratory aimed to study the fusion-evaporation reaction following the collision of a high-energy particle beam of 36Ar with a stationary target of 24Mg. This paper outlines the creation and implementation of an automated re-calibration procedure for the high-purity Germanium detectors comprising the Gammasphere array used for γ-ray spectroscopy in this experime

Sverige var under 1800-talets andra hälft ett fattigt land med höga utvandringstal. Parallellt med den tilltagande utvandringen industrialiserades landet och infrastruktur anlades, exempelvis i form av järnvägar. Ekonomisk teori anger att migrationsbeslut grundas i förhållandet mellan potentiella inkomster i värdlandet och kostnader för migrationen. Kostnaderna kan vara av olika slag, inte nödvändDuring the latter half of the 19th century, Sweden was a poor nation with high rates of emigration. Concurrent to the surge in emigration, the country was industrialized and infrastructure developed, for instance in the shape of railways. Economic theory suggests that the relation between potential incomes in the host country and migration costs determine migration decisions. Such costs need not b

Biodiversity conservation is a key environmental issue. Large carnivores face conservation challenges due to their predatory nature, generating human-wildlife conflicts. For the Iberian wolf to survive in Portugal, human-wolf conflicts must be identified, addressed, and mitigated. Investigating the social dimensions of these conflicts is crucial to reach solutions. Through a literature review and

Bakgrund: Intraoperativ awareness är en ovanlig men fruktad komplikation vid generell anestesi som ofta leder till psykologiska komplikationer som posttraumatisk stress, sömnsvårigheter och ångest. Användning av bispectral index (BIS) är en omdebatterad åtgärd för att motverka awareness vid generell anestesi. Alternativ till BIS är att säkerställa anestesidjup genom att observera de kliniska teckn

Speech interaction is a growing field within human-computer interaction. The introduction of several voice-user interfaces on the market has raised the question of whether voice control could be a suitable feature for a video management system. This thesis investigated how voice control could be designed and integrated with a graphical interface in order to add value to the user experience. User r

The metabolism of pyruvate in the cell is abnormally regulated in several human diseases, such as type-II diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders, in which the human mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (HuMPC) sits at a pivotal point. It transports pyruvate across the inner mitochondrial membrane and consists of two proteins, MPC1 and MPC2, and is a potential drug target against these diseases

This article discusses the challenges associated with maintaining water quality, particularly the issue of eutrophication, and the importance of technology advancements for monitoring and managing water quality. The potential of machine learning is highlighted, along with the importance of affordable and effective water quality monitoring techniques. The study aims to identify factors contributing

Autonomins roll i vården är svårbegriplig och varken patient eller vårdgivare har en tydlig uppfattning av begreppet. Detta resulterar i att patienters rättigheter regelbundet överträds vilket förhindrar tillfrisknandet och riskerar att vidare skada patienter. Syftet med denna explorativa studie var att undersöka och analysera anmälares (patienter och anhöriga) upplevelser av kränkningar inom den The role of autonomy in healthcare is unclear, and neither patients nor healthcare providers have a clear understanding of the concept. This results inpatients' rights being violated regularly, which hinders recovery and risks further harming patients. The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate and analyze the reporters’ (patients and relatives) experiences of violations within t

Background: The lithotomy position is one of the four most common positions during surgical procedures.

To ensure a safe positioning the preoperative assessment and preparations requires an OR nurse’s specialist competence. The aim: The aim was to examine if OR nurses’ years of experience aff

Climate-changed induced extreme events like heatwaves have become increasingly critical issues in urban India. Rapidly growing cities are vulnerable to adverse effects of heatwaves exacerbated by inequalities embedded in urbanisation. This study uses the case of Bengaluru, India to explore how residents of different socio-economic backgrounds experience heatwaves. Further explored are adaptation s

Denna uppsats intresserar sig för hur samtalet kring gröna vågen pågick mellan 1971-1973 där de mångfacetterade idéerna och begreppets politiska såväl som individuella dimension är av prioritet. Under hösten 1971 etablerade Tidningen Land gröna vågen för att namnge den rörelse som flyttade ut från städerna till landsbygden. Begreppet ficks stort genomslag med tidningens reportageserie i flera dela

The subject of this research was to conceptualize a Museum for the Future of Design in Copenhagen. Particularly, the museum collection focuses on experimental research in design, architecture, art, and engineering. An open flat brownfield towards the sea on Refshaleøen Island was chosen as the most suitable location for the Museum. Refshaleøen is a harbour and industrial area with a plethora of n
