This essay provides an analysis of the relation between the value added tax (VAT) and the size of the informal sector in Africa. The proposed hypothesis is that due to incentive mechanisms provided by VAT, tax evasion, and hence the size of the informal sector, should decrease when VAT replaces other standard consumption taxes, primarily the retail sales tax (RST) and the turnover tax (TOT). The

Skillnader i abborrars optik med vattenfärg Abborrar är extrema generalister och finns i sjöar med vitt skilda vattenfärger. Det gör att olika abborre populationer upplever vitt skilda ljusmiljöer. Det visar sig att abborrar anpassar sig till mörkt vatten genom att förändra de optiska egenskaperna hos sina ögonlinser. Vattenfärgen hos sjöar varierar kraftigt, från kristallklart till mörkbrunt, b

This paper will examine information structure used in Modern Hebrew, a Semitic language spoken in Israel. More specifically, the study will look into the methods used by Modern Hebrew native speakers to differentiate between old (active) information and new information in spontaneous speech. The study will offer new insights to different constructions of information structure, relating to active a

Streptomyces belong to the phylum Actinobacteria, which are Gram-positive bacteria with GC-rich DNA. Most Streptomyces are strict aerobes and inhabit soil. They are known for production of a wide range of secondary metabolites, including antibiotics e.g. the macrolide erythromycin (S. erythraeus) or chloramphenicol (S. venezuelae). The typical smell of wet soil is owed to geosmin, also a secondary

Civil society and thus Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) at European level are seen as the remedy for the EU to improve their image and create more effective policy making. Ideally, national members of CSOs feed into the political discussion at the European level through active p

Concrete hardens as a result of chemical reactions between water and cement. Cement is a hydraulic binder, in the reaction the cement binds water-molecules. This is an exoterm process, heat is produced during the reactions. How fast this process proceeds is much depending of the temperature. The amount of heat produced during the hardening of the concrete is also depending on the thickness of the

A silo discharge with a bulk material consisting of iron ore pellets is studied. The silo is about 65 meters high and 38 meters wide. The quality of pellets decreases when they are exposed to high stresses while moving. The stresses are therefore not allowed to exceed a certain threshold. It must also be possible to trace the origin of a sample from the discharge. To fulfill these two demands the o
