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 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

A search for flavour-changing neutral interactions involving the top quark, the Higgs boson and an up-type quark q (q = c, u) is presented. The proton-proton collision data set used, with an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1, was collected at (Formula presented.) TeV by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Both the decay process t → qH in tt¯ production and the production process pp

Generation Z (Gen Z) is believed to be more socially and environmentally committed. While environmentally responsible behaviour is crucial to the success of sustainable tourism, little is known about Gen Z's specific environmental behaviours in tourism settings. In this research, the roles of Gen Z's consumption emotions and environmentally friendly behaviour were explored based on cognitive appra

Ett av mina första uppdrag som nybliven professor i Medicinsk Strålningsfysik vid Lunds Universitet var att i slutet av april 1981 åka till München för att delta i en Europeisk (EU) workshop om möjligheterna att reducera patient bestrålning vid röntgendiagnostik. Av deltagarna från Storbritannien framkom att man på flera håll i Storbritannien utvecklade metoder för medicinsk avbildning utan röntge

The integration of renewable energy sources into modern power grids necessitates the use of power electronic converters capable of handling high voltages. Multilevel converters offer advantages compared to traditional 2-level converters by provid- ing multiple voltage levels, improved efficiency, and better power quality. However, maintaining balanced DC link voltages presents additional complexit

Machine calibration is important for optimal performance throughout the lifespan of industrial processes. A prime example is the pick-and-place process, where robots must manipulate objects accurately. Currently, this process is manually calibrated, which can be a complex practice. This thesis studies a software-based approach to error detection within the process, aiming to reduce the need for ma

På uppdrag från Miljöbron och Hyllstofta utreder denna rapport vilka elenergibesparande åtgärder som kan införas för Hyllstofta reningsverk. Fokus för arbetet ligger i att effektivisera applikationerna för reningsprocessen. Rapporten ger förslag på energieffektiviseringar tillsammans med beräkningsexempel på hur mycket energi som går att spara. Elförbrukningen kartlades under perioden 20190211–201On behalf of Miljöbron and Hyllstofta, this report studies which electricity-energy-saving measures can be carried out at Hyllstofta treatment plant. The focus of this study is to streamline the applications treatment process. The report provides suggestions for energy efficiency improvements together with calculation examples of how much energy can be saved. Electricity consumption was mapped dur

In 2014 during an organisational restructuring of Sony Electronics in Lund, an ongoing inhouse project to develop a resource management software was rushed to completion. The software had at the time been in active development by a team of software engineers for over a year but was quickly brought to completion to meet the new directives. Without clear product ownership and review, the softwa

This literature review presents a summary of recent research about PM-less machines for electrical vehicles. Recently, IPM machines has proven to be very popular among electrical vehicle manufacturers. However, the neodymium permanent magnets being used are expensive and have a risk of rocketing the production cost of a machine if the price increases more. With this in mind, five PM-less machine t

OBJECTIVES: Most patients with pancreatic cancer who have undergone surgical resection eventually develop disease recurrence. ‍This study aimed to investigate whether there is evidence to support routine surveillance after pancreatic cancer surgery, with a secondary aim of analyzing the implementation of surveillance strategies in the Nordic countries.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A scoping review was co

In this study, we investigate how eco-social attitudes are interlinked with various modes of political action aimed at preventing environmental change and promoting social welfare. Using multiple correspondence analysis and cluster analysis, we explore the links between attitudes and political action, and associated socio-political characteristics, in the case of Sweden. Our results show a three-nIn this study, we investigate how eco-social attitudes are interlinked with various modes of political action aimed at preventing environmental change and promoting social welfare.

Compulsory licensing is a statutorily created nonexclusive license by the competent authority granted to a third party to make, use, or sell an invention, where remuneration is paid to the right holder and the right holder maintains his legal intellectual property rights. Thus, the compulsory licensing differs from expropriation, where the property ownership is transferred and no remuneration is p

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
