Under the Family Planning Policy, the contraceptive use in China is not only the outcome of personal choice but highly influenced by the policy regulations. Using provincial level data, this study aims in finding to what extend does Family Planning Policy have its impact on the contraceptive use of married Chinese women aged 15-49 years from year 1992 to 2017. Controls for social economic status (
The animosities between India and Pakistan have been continuous since partition of British India over seven decades ago. Disputes over Kashmir and the rivers flowing through the region can be said to represent a nucleus of the tensions between the two countries. Due to environmental stress and population growth, hydropolitics is persistently being set under pressure. Three security frames, nationa
This thesis seeks to explain constraining effects of distance to markets on agricultural smallholder’s ability to commercialise, using Zambia as a case. Despite a growing consensus that inaccessible markets constrain the development of broad-based agricultural growth, creating socio-economic regional disparities, the exact nature by which distance and market access interact with agricultural produ
In 2011, the Dutch dredging company Van Oord was hired to expand the Suape port’s capacity by dredging the entrance to a new shipyard, and to deepen the access channel to the port in order to allow bigger tankers to reach a newly built local oil refinery. The company took out insurance for these projects by the Dutch ECA Atradius DSB (Dutch State Business). These projects ended up having major imp
The dairy industry has a noteworthy environmental footprint, specifically on global warming and resource depletion. Yet, environmental challenges also adversely impact the sustenance of many dairy value chain stakeholders. This is problematic not only in terms of livelihood for more than 70 million rural households but also considering the growing population and hence the increasing dairy demand.
Academia is vertically gender segregated, where women are underrepresented in senior positions in all fields (Allbright, 2019; Curtis, 2011; European Commission, 2016; Swedish Higher Education Authority (UKÄ), 2017). This study investigated research self-efficacy and social belongingness expectations as social cognitive mediators of research career interest in a sample of 239 Swedish social scienc
This study sets out to investigate the non-diegetic music in Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar (2014) in order to highlight its implicit narrative functions and meanings. The theoretical approach consists of semiotic concepts such as ‘Cognitive denotative’ and ‘Cognitive connotative’ functions by Emilio Audissino, ‘Myth’ and ‘Anchorage’ by Barthes as well as Claudia Gorbman’s ‘Connotative Cueing’.
Lumazine Synthase forms pentamers, C5 in some organism and icodahedra, Ih in other. The aim of this project is to investigate which evolutionary steps could have led the pentamers to assembly into icosahedral capsids. Therefore prevoius work has been performed to reconstruct ancestral sequences for the pentameric and icosahedral forms of Lumazine Synthase. The icosahedral sequence had been express
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to investigate whether or not Bäljane stream is a possible recipient for treated leachate from a Swedish municipal solid waste plant. This report will see how the current environmental status is in the river and how it will be affected in the future if emissions of treated leachate occur. Earlier studies regarding the environmental status in the river was evalua
I boverkets rapport Beräkning av behovet av nya bostäder till 2025 framgår det att 600 000 nya bostäder behöver byggas fram till år 2025. Regeringen anser att ett ökat industriellt träbyggande kan bidra till att möta behovet av nya och överkomliga bostäder av god kvalitet. Trä kan ge goda förutsättningar för industriell byggproduktion och hög prefabriceringsgrad som i sin tur kan pressa byggkostna
Despite the issue of greywater management gaining more importance around the world, espe-cially in developing countries, it still remains a challenge in non-sewered areas of South Afri-ca. For a semi-arid country, reusing greywater on a household level has great potential as an alternative water source if done properly. On a household level, the popular repurposing of greywater is for irrigation
The world of creating new software is currently going more and more towards being as fast and agile as possible to be able to adapt to changing customer demands. The design process of new software should reflect that, which doesn't leave much time for scheduling user tests in person. How can feedback from users be gathered in a scalable way, and the design of a product be made using a fail-fas
En morfologisk analys av ett konstprojekt som bedrevs inom ramen för den ideella föreningen Ars & Modus verksamhet mellan 2004 – 2009. Utifrån analysen dras riktlinjer upp för en pedagogisk studie. Konstprojektet skrivs först in i ett större politiskt, ekonomiskt och konstnärligt sammanhang, där konstbegreppet utvecklas och problematiseras. Därefter belyses konstens alltmer instrumentella situA morphological analysis of an art project that was active during the years 2004 through 2009 within the framework of the NGO Ars & Modus. With this analysis as a starting point a study is then outlined. First the art project is put in a wider political, economic and artistic context and the concept ”art” is further developed and problematized. Then the growing instrumentalisation of art is hi
Problem Previous research suggests that it ought to be more challenging for social enterprise to manage its stakeholder relationships. It is assumed that a social enterprise in general both have a larger amount of stakeholders compared to regular enterprises, and that there is a larger divergence in values and interest among the stakeholders. Another layer of complexity is added if the social ente
Studiens syfte var att studera chefers uppfattningar och erfarenheter av funktionen rehabkoordinator och nyttan av den utbildning som rehabkoordinatorn har genomgått. Semistrukturerade intervjuer utfördes med tio chefer inom sjukvården. Datamaterialet analyserades med tematisk analys utifrån en induktiv ansats. Fyra teman urskildes: Räddaren i nöden, Funktionen som blev en person, Förändring tar tThe aim of the study was to investigate how health care service managers perceive and experience the newly introduced function rehabilitation coordinator and the effect of the education programme. A semi-structured interview guide was used to interview ten managers. The material was analysed with an inductive approach using thematic analysis. The following four themes were identified during analys
I ett framtida samhälle som inkluderar alltmer intermittent elproduktion och mindre svängmassa är det viktigt att hitta nya, snabba frekvensreglerande resurser för att bibehålla ett stabilt elsystem med säker energileverans. Ett exempel på en sådan resurs är batterier. En teknik som har fått alltmer uppmärksamhet de senaste åren är den så kallade ''Vehicle To Grid'' (V2G) teknologiIn a future society with an increasing amount of intermittent electricity production and lower inertia, it is important to find new, fast frequency-regulating resources to maintain a stable electrical system with a safe energy supply. One example of such a resource is batteries. A technology that has received increasing attention in recent years is the so-called ''Vehicle To Grid''

Biomedical application of nanoparticles is largely associated to their fate in biological media which, in fact, is related to their surface properties. Surface functionalitzation plays a key role in determining biodegradation, cytotoxicity and biodistribution through interactions which may be meditated by the macromolecules occurring in biological media. This project is focused on the effect of di
The presence of phytate in plants-based food is considered a threat to proper nutrition in developing countries and in particular in rural areas. There is evidence of micronutrient deficiencies due to the presence of phytate in plant-based diets. People from low income households are most affected by diets rich in phytate. The aim of this study was to investigate different processes through which
In the context of increasing focus on the climate change China is being blamed for its large contribution to global CO2 emissions, which have been produced within China’s territory. However, increasing number of researches have started to argue that the developed countries should be held responsible for displacing their emissions by outsourcing pollution-heavy production to the developing countrie
