The nomadic pastoralists of the Sahel are often identified as a group at the frontline of global climate change. Their existence in arid and semi-arid regions and their reliance on seasonal rainfall are among the factors that contribute to their vulnerability to drought and climate shocks. This study focuses on risks to pastoralists in Sudan, asking whether index-based livestock insurance, an innoPastoralism is a nomadic lifestyle and a livelihood system that revolves around raising livestock. By migrating seasonally in search of water and pasture for their animals, pastoralists are able to inhabit and make productive use some of the world’s harshest environments. In Sudan, where over 90% of the vast land area is covered by desert and drylands, pastoralism remains a vital feature of the co

The transmission function for a three and four rectangular barrier system of InP andInAs is computed using the transfer-matrix method and the transmission formalism. Thewidths of the wells and the barriers are varied while the barrier height is kept constant.Such a multi-barrier structure is designed in order to act as a filter in a nanowire basedsolar cell, where effective hot carrier transport w

An exploratory case study approach was implemented

The Lane-Emden equation is a non-linear differential equation governing the equilibrium of polytropic stationary self-gravitating, spherically symmetric star models; $${\frac {1}{\xi ^{2}}}{\frac {d}{d\xi }}\left({\xi ^{2}{\frac {d\theta }{d\xi }}}\right)+\theta ^{n}=0.$$ In the isothermal cases we have the Chandrasekhar equation: $${\frac {1}{\xi ^{2}}}{\frac {d}{d\xi }}\left({\xi ^{2}{\frac {

Problembeskrivning: Lagerdesign är en erkänt komplex process, då många faktorer måste tas i beaktande och många beslut innefattar diverse trade-offs. De flesta lagerdesignprojekt idag baseras antingen på lagerdesignerns ackumulerade expertis och erfarenhet från liknande projekt eller på detaljerade simulationer över materialflöde och utrustning. I dagens snabba affärsklimat finns det dock sällan t

Bakgrund Södra regionvårdsnämnden som omfattar Skåne, Blekinge, Kronoberg och södra Halland genomför ett projekt för att se över strokesjukvården då de vill ha en jämlik vård i hela regionen. Forskningen inom stroke utvecklas i rask takt och nya behandlingsmetoder som trombektomi har nyligen introducerats. Detta ställer nya krav på strokesjukvården.

I Craiks och Lockharts ansats om Levels of processing anses minnesspår vara ett primärt resultat av bearbetningens kvalité och djup. De skiljer därför på ytlig bearbetning, som ett stimulis övergripande utseende, och djupare bearbetning, såsom semantiska egenskaper, där den senare ska resultera i ett mer minnesvärt spår. Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på om denna argumentation kan verifierIn Craik´s and Lockhart´s Level of Processing framework, memory traces are considered to be a primary result of depth and quality of processing. They therefore distinguish a difference in shallow processing, such as a stimulus´s overall appearance, and deeper processing, such as semantic features, where the latter is supposed to result in a more memorable trace. The aim of this study is to find ou

Följande uppsats undersöker hur ett flertydigt språkbruk kan påbjuda oönskade följder och reaktioner.
