This essay examines if and how output-based aid (OBA) in the urban water sector contributes to long-term and pro-poor development. OBA is a results-based method where contractual agreements stipulate subsidy payments on delivery of outputs, rather than subsidies towards project inputs. To study the characteristics and effects of OBA, the essay adopts a New Institutional Economics perspective, and
Description: Early interventions with PMDs can improve the independence and developmental outcomes of children with disabilities. Increasing awareness and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential to overcome barriers to access to PMDs. Expanding global partnerships and integrating PMDs into clinical and educational settings can increase children's access to mobility.

In species with chromosomal sex determination, X chromosomes are predicted to evolve faster than autosomes becauseof positive selection on recessive alleles or weak purifying selection. We investigated X chromosome evolution inStegodyphus spiders that differ in mating system, sex ratio, and population dynamics. We assigned scaffolds to Xchromosomes and autosomes using a novel method based on flow In species with chromosomal sex determination, X chromosomes are predicted to evolve faster than autosomes because of positive selection on recessive alleles or weak purifying selection.

This research investigates the gender dimension of the impacts of access to clean and modern energy and technology in productive uses of energy. Rural organizations led by women supported by the EnDev project Bolivia were selected for a multi-site case study. This project aims to facilitate clean and modern energy access, create and strengthen rural markets, and alleviate poverty. The energy justi
This report contains an analysis of major fatal fires. The analysis is carried out using the methodology in the conference article "Learning from real fire incidents - A methodology for case studies." The methodology is used to systematically introduce, analyse and draw joint conclusions of the various events. The aim is to find the key factors leading to the development of the events, i
Popular Abstract in English Popular scientific summary Interest in food and plants as sources of antioxidants has increased in recent years, since antioxidants are believed to have major health benefits. Food and plants have complex matrices made up of different compounds (polyphenols, antocyanidin, carotenoids, etc) that individually or jointly can act as antioxidants. Polyphenols and anthocyaniAbstract The constant need to improve health and to prevent disease in Bolivia, especially in the Andean region with its extreme environmental conditions (high altitude and lower temperatures), motivated us to extend studies of antioxidant sources in foods and plants, since antioxidants are believed to have major health benefits. Spectrophotometric methods, such as ABTS (2, 2’- azinobis-3-ethyl
Oats (Avena sativa) are a versatile cereal crop cultivated worldwide. Accounting for 2% of global grain production, they rank as the seventh most important cereal. Approximately 23 million tonnes of oat grain is produced annually, with the majority stemming from spring-sown cultivars in Canada, Russia, and Northern Europe. Although used mostly for animal feed, oats have increased in their populariOats (Avena sativa) is a versatile crop grown worldwide for animal feed and human consumption. Humanoat consumption has recently risen due to its various health benefits. However, oats are susceptible toFusarium head blight (FHB) caused by various Fusarium fungi. FHB reduces yield and leads to mycotoxinaccumulation. The most commonly reported mycotoxins in oat are trichothecenes deoxynivalenol (DO
The Swedish policy towards ethnic associations constitutes a part of the integration policy, which has been subject to a number of changes since its introduction in the 1970s. The author of this thesis focuses on how the changes and the policy’s pendulous motion have affected the associations. She conducts interviews in order to compare the function of the association today and in the 1970s respec

Ligand exchange on square-planar Pt(1,4-dithiane)2(2+), Pd(1,4-dithiane)2(2+), and Pt(Me2S)4(2+) has been studied as a function of temperature and pressure by H-1 NMR line-broadening, isotopic labeling, and magnetization transfer experiments with deuteriated nitromethane as solvent. Second-order rate constants and activation parameters are as follows: for 1,4-dithiane exchange on Pt(1,4-dithiane)2Ligand exchange on square-planar Pt(1,4-dithiane)2(2+), Pd(1,4-dithiane)2(2+), and Pt(Me2S)4(2+) has been studied as a function of temperature and pressure by H-1 NMR line-broadening, isotopic labeling, and magnetization transfer experiments with deuteriated nitromethane as solvent.

In 1998 Bergendahl & Son AB, as the sole owner alongside with BTL as a partner, created Matomera. Matomera was unique in Sweden in its concept of selling groceries only on the Internet with no supporting physical store. Instead they used a dedicated warehouse especially designed for this purpose. In B2C e-commerce the buying decisions and the face-to-face communication between consumers and co

In this seminar, Erin Cory will explore migration not only as movement across borders, but as an embodied, storied, and deeply creative process. Drawing from her research at the intersections of migration, media, and identity, Cory will discuss how unconventional methods—such as tattooing and p

A separation between the academic subjects statistics and mathematical statistics has existed in Sweden almost as long as there have been statistics professors. The same distinction has not been maintained in other countries. Why has it been kept for so long in Sweden, and what consequences may it have had?In May 2015, it was 100 years since Mathematical Statistics was formally established as an a
The purpose of this research is to identify and categorize customer’s personal service requests and to determine the extent to which these categories can be facilitated with self-service technologies (SST). Hence, this study bridges the gap between customer service and self-service. This is particularly relevant, as a knowledge gap has been identified between the research field of personal custome
