In 2017, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) estimated that more than $10 billion worth of foreign aid commitments to developing countries were directed at the health sector. A large share of this health aid targets Sub-Saharan African countries that continue to display some of the lowest levels of development worldwide. Yet, the evidence on the effectiveness of healt

Coachning har blivit en av otaliga livlinor som personer, organisationer och institutioner har vänt sig till för att hitta en väg till självförfyllelse, produktivitet och mål. Men coachningsindustrin är dock fortfarande i ett tillstånd av tillväxt och förändring. Det finns inga regler eller restriktioner som är enhetligt accepterade av alla. Farhågor angående denna brist har lyfts fram ur klientpe

The abstract subject of colour is a widely studied subject in spoken languages. However, very little is known about colour in relation to gesture. A substantial part of the literature on gesture and abstract content is concerned with referential gestures and especially metaphorical mapping. Less is known about gestures performed in relation to abstract content that is not metaphoric and even less

Projections estimate that by 2050 hundreds of millions to a billion people will migrate elsewhere due to environmental reasons. The increasing frequency and intensity of natural hazards posed by climate change, as well as the slow-onset degradation of habitats all over the planet, will drive more and more species to migrate towards more habitable and safe environments. While much of the literature

The increasingly interconnected world requires systems that support high data rates, and thus the development of mm-wave systems is necessary. Automotive collision radar (80 GHz) or WLANs (60 GHz) are one of the applications that led the increment of the demand in RFICs, in which monolithic devices are fundamental, such as on-chip inductors or transformers. Along this thesis, the design and modell

När man skapar en produkt är det inte ovanligt att olika målgrupper ska använda produkten. Detta medför att målgrupperna kommer att ha olika erfarenheter, och därmed riskera att skapa olika konceptuella modeller av produkten. Men en inkorrekt konceptuell modell kommer skapa inkorrekt beteende, därför behöver man se till de olika erfarenheterna och därifrån skapa en entydig lösning. Syftet med examWhen creating a product, it is not unusual that a wide variety of users from different target groups will use the product. This entails that different target groups bring different experiences, and consequently risks to create different conceptual models of the product. An incorrect conceptual model will create incorrect behavior, therefore one needs to address the wide variety of experience and t

Africa has in the past received negative portrayal on traditional media. It has been portrayed as a continent full of endless problems. The positive aspects have been ignored and the negative aspects amplified. Thus, the discourse surrounding the continent has been majorly negative. This study seeks to understand storytelling by different groups of video bloggers on YouTube and the effect their vi

Denna studie belyser hur formella ledare ser på ständigt växande e-handel och de tillkommande kundkraven. Tidigare studier är överens om att e-handel ger upphov till dynamisk miljö som innebär att teknik och kundkrav ständigt förändras. Genom den snabba utvecklingen tillkommer utmaningar för organisationer som kräver att de kan vara flexibla i dagens dynamiska miljö. Syftet med denna studie var at

The European Commission favours market-based support policies, such as markets for tradable green certificates, to promote renewable energy. Meanwhile, these markets have received critique for exposing investors to large price risk as the level of support is determined by the market price of certificates. Unstable prices can also result from changes in regulation since the demand for certificates

The main objectives of this research reported were to investigate the relationship between creative and innovative leadership, amongst males and females. One hundred and twenty-three leaders in various organisations around the world, participated in this study. The relationships were tested using the Creative and innovative Leadership Scale, Innovative performance scale and Loneliness in the workp

In Sweden marketing of tobacco and alcohol is regulated by law not for inviting, outreaching nor intrusive to the consumer. These types of products are addictive and so is gambling. We can see that the exploitation and the marketing strategies of the online casinos is problematic and that the law of Sweden regarding marketing of gambling is not sufficient. So, why is the law different for gambling

The payment method is under transition making the world step into a digital and mobile oriented chapter. With the development of integration between internet technology and financial functions, China expects to have a large number of mobile payments from its citizens as a result of the population size. The growth and development of e-commerce and the rise of online shopping have contributed much t

The term incel has recently been brought up in media in correlation to the terror attack in Toronto, Canada, in 2018. The perpetrator, Minassian, described his motivation for the crime in a facebook status where he referenced websites connected to the incel movement, which is a group of men, who blame today's society and women for their involuntary celibacy. Due to the strong correlation betwe

The web server is an essential component of many systems today. It has the possibility to give access to files with sensitive information and it is the backbone that enable a vast amount of applications. This makes it critical to ensure that files are only accessed and altered by intended users and that web servers are always up and running when expected. One important aspect of doing this is to e

The scale of atrocities perpetrated against refugees and migrants around the globe demands our urgent attention. Yet, triggering of individual criminal responsibility in situations of mistreatment of refugees and migrants is certainly not the norm. The purpose of this thesis is to challenge the existing notions that only crimes related to armed conflict and other related situations of violence fal

Research suggests that polyphenols, such as anthocyanins, that are found in considerable amounts in many types of berries, contributes with a positive effect on human cognition. However, clinical trials are warranted to support these findings. Preparation for such a trial includes developing a berry-rich study product and a corresponding reference beverage. Phenolic compounds are highly unstable a

Sommaren 2018 var ett rekordvarmt år, och en markant ökning på solkurvor konstaterades av Trafikverket. Det finns flera orsaker till varför en solkurva uppstår, förutom den ökade temperaturen. När en solkurva bildas dras slutsatsen i många fall att anledningen endast är hög temperatur och vidare undersökningar utesluts direkt. Detta examensarbete består till stor del av en litteraturstudie som bThe summer of 2018 was a hot year, a significant increase of sun curves was observed by Trafikverket. There are several reasons why a sun curve occurs, in addition to the high temperature. When a sun curve is formed, the conclusion is drawn in many cases that the reason was heat and no further investigations are made. The project consists a literature study that explains the physical theory, fac

Människan använde sig tidigt av växter för att behandla sjukdomar utan att veta vilket specifikt ämne i växten som verkade, hon tycktes sig enbart se en behandling av sjukdomen eller på symptomen av denna. Vid läkemedelsutveckling så har naturen varit en oändlig källa till inspiration och potenta kemiska föreningar. Antingen är de rena naturprodukter eller kemiska derivat som genomgått en liten änOrtho-amides have shown to be an important intermediate in the total synthesis of the cytotoxic indole alkaloid, dehaloperphoroamidine. The potential of this functional group lead to further investigation of its reactivity. Background, known reactions with ortho-amides and A 7-steps synthesis route of a general ortho-amide from tryptamine are presented here. Lack of time resulted in that the synth

The purpose of this paper is to find possible measures to tackle algorithmic collusion, caused especially by pricing algorithms, from the perspective of competition law. This paper does not intend to analyse all possible measures that may exist, but rather, focus on a few measures that are seen reasonable. Before proceeding further to analyse these possible measures, the concepts of algorithms and
