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
The aim of the study is to research preschool teacher’s understanding and way of talking about ethnicity and diversity in two different municipalities. The design of the methods performed for the study was qualitative and seven interviews have been done to gather empirics. The interview guide was semi-structured in order to be able to keep a flexible approach through the interviews. The result sho
Digital platforms is an innovation made possible by the adoption of computers and internet. Companies like Google and Facebook grew in relatively short time to the most valuable or-ganisations on the stock market. The success of these companies is partially possible by their characteristics of being a digital platforms. One of the success factors is the use open APIs, which makes that other partie
Sedan Sovjetunionens fall har Sydkaukasus drabbats av en rad allvarliga konflikter. En av de allvarligaste och mest komplicerade konflikterna har utspelat sig i Abchazien i de nordvästra delarna av Georgien. Sedan kriget i början av 1990-talet har konflikten varit frusen. Pegg är en av de första och få att definiera begreppet de facto-stat, som är områden vilka i praktiken fungerar som självständ
Denna studie syftar till att studera ordaccenter hos barn i förskoleålder med skånsk dialekt och språkstörning. I studien undersöks huruvida barnen har problem med ordaccenterna och i vilken utsträckning. Barnens yttranden bedöms perceptuellt av två lyssnargrupper och akustiskt som spektrogram, där jag tittat på grundtonskurvan. Svar söks också kring huruvida vissa ord är svårare att bedöma eller
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
Meticillinresistenta Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA är ett vårdhygieniskt problem i världen som orsakar lidande för patienterna men även stora kostnader för samhället. Studiens syfte var att undersöka patienters upplevelse av att vara MRSA-positiv och deras syn på vården. Metoden var en litteraturstudie där sju kvalitativa artiklar inkluderades och analyserades med en integrerad dataanalys. Resulta
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
Ur infallsvinkeln att partier antar precisa strategier för att tillskansa sig makt syftar denna uppsats till att besvara varför Miljöpartiet de Gröna förändrat sin inställning till en mer positiv hållning, gällande ett svenskt medlemskap i den Europeiska Unionen. Två teoretiska utgångspunkter ligger till grund för uppsatsen som möjliga förklaringsmodeller; att partiet följt en förändring hos välja
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Genom nedskalning av mikroelektroniken, kan både prestanda, kostnad, och effektförbrukning förbättras och har därmed varit ett mål för elektronikindustrin. Dimensionerna är så låga i nuvarande teknik att parasitisk kapacitans och läckströmmar begränsar möjliga fördelar. Spintronik är en ny teknik under utveckling som skulle kunna erbjuda lösningar för dessa problA new design based on the spinFET proposed by Datta-Das was fabricated, using a channel defined by etching on a 2DEG material and nanomagnets as top-gates. The magnetotransports properties were measured at low temperatures. Magnetoresistance changes with different behaviors were measured in different configurations and the presence of hysteresis showed the action of the nanomagntes. But, due to th
This is a study of the spatial structure in relation to female characters within video games with Nordic mythological themes. The understanding of space and its structure starts with an under-standing of the people who are creat-ing and constructing it. The study involves their beliefs, their social relations and their urban infrastructure and their correspondence to the Nordic mythology. When lo
Glucose biosensors based on lyophilised, crystalline and cross-linked glucose oxidase (GOx, CLEC(R)) and commercially available lyophilised GOx immobilised on top of glassy carbon electrodes modified with electrodeposited Prussian Blue are critically compared. Two procedures were carried out for preparing the biosensors: (1) deposition of one layer of adsorbed GOx dissolved in an aqueous solution
Fertility remains higher and contraceptive levels are substantially lower in Sub-Saharan Africa than elsewhere in the developing world. In this paper we use information on individuals and couples provided in recent Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS, fifth wave) undertaken in Ghana, Kenya, Madagascar, and Zambia. We use bivariate and multivariate techniques to examine the determinants of contrace

This paper deals with the design of channel estimators in the uplink of an OFDM based multi-user system. First, we propose a user allocation scheme that is based on the aim to use the correlation of the radio channel for channel estimation purposes. Further, we present the linear MMSE channel estimator based on a few pilot tones. We present an error analysis that proves valuable in the evaluation
BACKGROUND: We compared the association of levosimendan or dobutamine with norepinephrine for the maintenance of systemic and hepatosplanchnic perfusion during early endotoxemic shock. METHODS: Twenty anesthetized pigs (26.8 +/- 0.5 kg) were instrumented with flow probes and catheters to monitor systemic and regional perfusion as described in our companion article in this issue of the journal. Two
