This thesis explores the intertwinement between the commoning practices of an urban permaculture community garden and more-than-human relations through multispecies ethnography in Copenhagen, Denmark. By centering the lived experiences and practices of gardeners, this study learns from and illuminates real-life practices and perspectives on what it means to be entangled in the ecosystems. Through

This mixed-method study focuses on risk factors that children in foster care bring into the placements, the negative effects the risk factors have on the children´s development and health and the need for them to be treated professionally. Factors included are, among others, experiences from maltreatment, attachment problems, various forms of abuse, drug use, criminality, or mental illness. Our ai

In Tanzania, there has been a notable increase in the importation and sale of secondhand clothing, popularly referred to as Mitumba, with a significant focus on low-income populations. This growth has been driven by the affordability and accessibility of these garments, which have become a staple in the wardrobes of many Tanzanians. However, with all of this growth, there are now urgent concerns a

Fisken som simmar i våra vattendrag är en väsentlig del av ekosystemet. Där bidrar de med allt från att driva näringskretsloppet till att stötta lokala ekonomier genom fiske och rekreation. Men dessa akvatiska ekosystem är under hot från en rad olika mänskliga aktiviteter, till exempel jordbruk, urbanisering, anläggandet och upprätthållandet av dammar. Under de senaste årtiondena så har det gjortsIn the face of accelerating environmental and climatic changes, understanding the impacts on freshwater ecosystems has become increasingly critical. In Scania, Sweden, extensive restoration efforts have been implemented to mitigate the effects of habitat fragmentation and biodiversity loss in riverine systems. This study investigates the population dynamics of stream fish in Scania, Sweden, focusi

Lake Victoria is Africa’s largest freshwater lake by area shared by three countries: Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. The lake supports the economic development of the region through transport and fishing as well as recreational and tourism activities in the three countries. The main ports on the lake are Kisumu, Mwanza, Bukoba, Entebbe, Portbell, and Jinja served by several train ferry services for b

Uganda’s higher education system has come under pressure in the past few years. Liberalisation of the education sector attracted numerous private players into higher education provision, and making it commercialised. This has promoted that focus is shifted to the profit motive away from the primary purpose of students attaining gainful employment upon graduation. The research seeks to emphasise th

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

Triangulerade kategorier, och i synnerhet tensortriangulerade kategorier, uppstår inom en mängd områden inom matematiken. Därför blir de viktiga objekt som studeras i sin egen rätt. Vanligtvis är man intresserad av att klassificera olika underkategorier, särskilt tjocka eller lokaliserande underkategorier, av triangulerade kategorier. Tyvärr kan det oftast vara svårt att göra detta. Dessutom kan tWe 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
