With rapid urbanization and population growth, Addis Ababa faces a big challenge of dealing with slums in the inner city. It has used up most of its space within its boundary and there are now a number of projects on the pipe line to redevelop the inner city slums. This seems to be the single most pressing issue currently. The recent public housing projects and inner city renewal programs has cau
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), a neurodegenerative disease, defined by abnormal accumulation of proteins, both extracellularly (senile plaques, consisting of amyloid-beta(Aβ) accumulation) and intracellularly (neurofibrillary tangles, formed by Tau protein). Several studies demonstrate that the immune cells play a central role in the pathogenesis of AD, but it is not known if immune cells from the peri
This thesis investigates the restitution of cultural artefacts looted during the colonial-era, through the comparison between two United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) Conventions and the newly proposed French guideline, Shared Heritage: Universality, Restitution and Circulation of Works of Art (SHURCWA). Through a qualitative case study employing Carol Bacchi’s
This paper investigates the determinants of corporate cash holdings in the casino and gambling industry. The trade-off, pecking order and free cash flow theory are all popular methods for explaining the determinants of cash holdings for general firms. This paper examines traditional financial variables, macroeconomic variables and a specific time period variable for the effects of the financial cr
The large number of orphanages in Jinja, Uganda has promoted the widespread institutionalisation of children from poor families. Parents are left disempowered and have very few options but to sign over the rights of their children because NGOs in the region have largely prioritised orphanage care over other services. This paper critically analyses the failure of non-state actors in addressing the
Fotbindning praktiserades i Kina under nästan tusen år. Under Qingdynastins sista turbulenta årtionden öppnades landet upp mot omvärlden. Detta markerade inledningen på Kinas moderna historia, och en ny era för de kinesiska kvinnorna och deras fötter. Denna uppsats undersöker antifotbindningsrörelsen som växte fram i slutet av 1800-talet, mot bakgrund av en ökad västerländsk närvaro och spirande kFootbinding was widely practiced in China for nearly a thousand years. The Middle Kingdom was opened to the outside world during the last decades of Qing rule. This time of turmoil marked the beginning of modern Chinese history, as well as a new era for Chinese women and their feet. This thesis highlights the antifootbinding movement that emerged at the end of the 19th century and its connection t
För att undersöka barns fulla förståelse av ords betydelser är det nödvändigt att undersöka förståelse av ord i relation till andra ord. Antonymi, motsatsrelationen, är en av de semantiska relationer som barnet tillägnar sig tidigast i språkutvecklingen. Syftet med studien var att undersöka förskolebarns förmåga till motsatsordsmobilisering, det vill säga förmågan att välja rätt motsatsord som res
Denna uppsats grundar sig på en översättning av tre noveller ur den spanska författaren Lucas Ruiz’ novellsamling El esquiador de fondo (2014). Uppsatsens syfte är att analysera översättningen och bruket av tempus i källtexten. Först i uppsatsen görs en analys av källtexten med hjälp av Hellspong & Ledin (1997). Utmärkande drag för texterna tas upp, bland annat det poetiska språket, meningsbyg
There is scientific consensus that limiting warming in line with the Paris Agreement goals requires reaching net zero CO2 emissions by mid-century and net negative emissions thereafter. Because of the entrenchment of current fossil fuel energy and feedstock demand estimated in almost all global modelled scenarios, 'abated' fossil fuel and industrial process and product use (IPPU) CO2 emissions, us
The use of conventional fertilizers is associated with pollution due to leaching and a mismatch between release rates and crop requirements for optimal development. Slow-release fertilizers could address both problems. Here, the synthesis and properties of a zinc fertilizer composed of cellulose microbeads loaded with aqueous ZnSO4 are reported for the first time. UV-vis spectrophotometry showed t
