Captured Countryside? Stability and Change in Sub-national Support for African Incumbent Parties

Many existing accounts of African elections assume that voters base their electoral decisions on cues and incentives that are anchored in highly stable ethnic cleavage structures. Yet several newer contributions to the study of African electoral politics have questioned the ethno-clientelistic voting thesis and highlighted other determinants of vote choice, such as class, ideology and performance

Wave splitting and imbedding equations for a spherically symmetric dispersive medium

The direct problem of time dependent electromagnetic scattering in the dispersive sphere is solved by a wave splitting technique. The electric field is expanded in a series involving vector spherical harmonics, leading to a system of wave equations for each term. These systems are reduced to scalar wave equations for each term, which are solved via reflection operators. Some preliminary numerical

Emissions Trading Schemes: Markets, States and Law

Over the last four decades emissions trading has enjoyed a high profile in environmental law scholarship and in environmental law and policy. Much of the discussion is promotional, preferring emissions trading above other regulatory strategies without, however, engaging with legal complexities embedded in conceptualising, scrutinising and managing emissions trading regimes. The combined effect of

Gestational Diabetes, screening, diagnosis and prognosis

Popular Abstract in Swedish Graviditetsdiabetes (GD) är en sjukdom utan någon allmänt erkänd definition och vars prognos för kvinnan och hennes foster/barn är omdiskuterad. Därför har det från etisk synpunkt ifrågasatts om man verkligen ska försöka identifiera den. Rapporter har dock angivit ökad risk att få stora barn för tiden och ökad perinatal dödlighet vid graviditetsdiabetes samt att dessa kGestational diabetes (GD) is still a nonentity disease. There is no worldwide consensus how to define it or whether it is harmful to the woman or fetus. Therefore, from an ethical point of view, it is uncertain whether one should try to identify it. Since 1991, all pregnant women in Lund are offered a 75g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) at 27 – 28 weeks of pregnancy. In Sweden, the definition o
