We have studied if there is a possible link between states’ membership in intergovernmental organizations and a desire to participate in democratization processes in our chosen analytical objects Estonia and Belarus. We analysed our empirical findings by categorizing the membership of each countries membership in IGOs. By comparing what organization each country is a part of and which ones they ha
All around in our bodies – inside and on top of cells, as well as in the extracellular matrix (ECM) – complex carbohydrate chains known as glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are to be found. While some of their properties are known, many functions and biosynthetic pathways remain undiscovered. Heparin is one of the GAGs whose function in the body is not completely known, however, it has been used as an ant

The textile industry is one of the world’s most polluting industries and generates large amounts of waste due to increasing consumption and short product lifetimes. At the same time, a significant fraction of textile waste consists of cellulose-based materials such as viscose, making textile waste a potential renewable carbon source for the production of bio-based chemicals.

The government of Uganda is a part of the initiative, since the quality of the drinking water in the country persists to be a widespread problem. In
Experimental single qubit gate fidelities in the rare-earth quantum computing (REQC) scheme was found to be lower than predicted by simulation of the optical Bloch equations for the system. The cause was believed to be excitation-induced frequency shifts (EFS), so this BSc thesis investigates a model for EFS in Eu:YSO where stochastic frequency shifts are imposed on the ions. This was implemented
