The purpose of this study was to examine how INGOs in Sri Lanka work to increase social capital and trust between the two ethnic groups, the Tamils and Sinhala. The study is qualitative, and the empirical material was collected through semi-structured interviews. Representatives from seven INGOs and one professor from Sri Lanka were interviewed. The INGOs worked in many different ways to increase

This is the first multi-district Standardised Patient (SP) study in South Africa. It measures the quality of TB screening at primary healthcare (PHC) facilities. We hypothesise that TB screening protocols and best practices are poorly adhered to at the PHC level. The SP method allows researchers to observe how healthcare providers identify, test and advise presumptive TB patients, and whether thisThis is the first multi-district Standardised Patient (SP) study in South Africa.

Previous research has shown that it is possible to decarbonise Sweden's road transport sector. This study develops a scenario based method and analyses the influence of external factors on energy security, focusing on passenger and freight transport. It does so by analysing the vulnerabilities and capabilities of five different climate mitigation strategies, investigating previous security scenariPrevious research has shown that it is possible to decarbonise Sweden's road transport sector.

Crystals of Pt(DMSO)4(TFMS)2 have been prepared by dissolution of platinum(II) hydroxide in a solution of CF3SO3H in DMSO and subsequent evaporation. The structure was determined by use of a CAD-4 diffractometer with monochromatic Mo Kα radiation. The space group is PFull-size image (<1 K) with Z = 2, a = 8.630(2), b = 9.557(3), c = 16.659(3) Å, α = 73.33(2), β = 77.38(2) and γ = 79.19(3)°. The re

This text is a performative talk that took place in the context of the conference “Handlewith Care: Culture for Social Well-being” organised by Culture Action Europe in Elefsina2023 EU Cultural Capital. It brings together different speculations on care, caring andspaces of care as starting points for further discussions on care and surroundings, social and ecological interdependencies. “Thoughts”

This article explores the relationship between management and leadership development and leadership practice. Critical studies of management and leadership development programmes have mainly focused on such programmes as spaces for identity work and/or identity regulation. This article extends the literature by investigating the notion of organisation, the organisational view, in a large managemen

Sorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a material and the ambient relative humidity. Most materials exhibits sorption hysteresis, that is, desorption give higher equilibrium moisture contents than absorption at equal ambient climate conditions. Sorption hysteresis is commonly evaluated by determination of an absorption isotherm followed by desorption sSorption isotherms describe the relation between the equilibrium moisture content of a material and the ambient relative humidity.

Frontal cortex activity in the left hemisphere during depression is reduced. Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) is a non-invasive neuromodulation technique that can increase frontal cortex activity. Therapy based on tDCS and positive psychology (PP) therapy was applied improving patients’ quality of life. The present study compared three conditions participants with clinical depression

Since the 1950s the Ngorongoro Conservation Area (NCA) has experienced several changes in land use policy. In the early 1990s the NCA’s policy was changed for the last time and the area became considered an experimental multiple land use system. This has resulted in conflict between the government and conservationist groups, who argued that allowing people to reside within the protected area will

In this Bachelor thesis I examine the relationship between knowledge and power against the Zeitgeist of politicized science and depoliticized politics. I aim to uncover and problematize the understanding of legitimate knowledge production articulated in Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI), the framework for research within the current European research programme. I use Laclau and Mouffe’s di

As geopolitical instability and war increasingly affect entrepreneurial ecosystems, there remains a critical gap in understanding how ventures sustain operations under conditions of active, prolonged conflict. While existing resilience literature often focuses on temporary crises or post-conflict recovery, this study explores how tech small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Ukraine build oper

The paper employs Jegadeesh and Titman (1993)’s overlapping ranking period method to build winner-portfolio and loser-portfolio, and thereafter conducts empirical studies on the momentum and contrarian effects on the Chinese stock market from 2000 to 2010. One thing worth mentioning here is that the author processes the data using her own Matlab codes instead of doing tremendous manual work. It is

Abstract The research sought to present a deep analysis on the formation of identities in Jamaican children living in garrison community in the context of community violence. A phenomenological scientific and theoretical approach was applied, focusing on lived and imagined experiences formations. Data was collected using open interviews from six children, age nine to eleven. The obtained text was

This thesis compares the wildfire evacuation simulation programme, WUI-NITY, against real-world data by analysing and comparing three wildfire events of the past. The wildfire events were all limited to be within the state of California and was further analysed based on the available quality of data derived of the chosen database. The goal with this thesis was to setup simulations based on the evi
