The purpose of this article is to analyse the relationship between Qatar's foreign policy and foreign aid in the Horn of Africa (HoA), with a particular focus on Somalia. Since the 2017 blockade, the HoA has become increasingly important to Qatar's foreign policy and aid efforts, intensifying political and economic competition with other Gulf players. This research describes Qatar's foreign policy

The integration of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) into real estate analysis has long been considered an interesting interdisciplinary pursuit, but has yet to become mainstream. Despite the increasing academic focus over the last twenty years, this endeavour has mostly been approached from the scientific side of Geography. Inversely, such focus from the real estate sector remains marginal. No

BACKGROUND: Anastomotic leakage after anterior resection for rectal cancer is more common after total mesorectal excision compared to partial mesorectal excision but might be mitigated by a defunctioning stoma. OBJECTIVE: The aim is to assess how anastomotic leakage is affected by type of mesorectal excision and defunctioning stoma use. DESIGN: This is a retrospective multicenter cohort study eval

Methane (CH4) emissions from manure management on livestock farms are a key source of greenhouse gas emissions in some regions and for some production systems, and the opportunities for mitigation may be significant if emissions can be adequately documented. We investigated a method for estimating CH4 emissions from liquid manure (slurry) that is based on anaerobic incubation of slurry collected f

Electron effective mass is a fundamental material parameter defining the free charge carrier transport properties, but it is very challenging to be experimentally determined at high temperatures relevant to device operation. In this work, we obtain the electron effective mass parameters in a Si-doped GaN bulk substrate and epitaxial layers from terahertz (THz) and mid-infrared (MIR) optical Hall e

I Öva demokrati tar sig deltagarna an frågan om det finns att sätt att utveckla demokratin och i så fall hur. Projektet är framtaget i samarbete med forskningsstiftelsen Institutet för framtidsstudier och ingår forsknings- och utvecklingsarbetet kring nya sceniska berättarformat på Teaterhögskolan i Malmö.

On December 5, 2022, an indirect drive fusion implosion on the National Ignition Facility (NIF) achieved a target gain Gtarget of 1.5. This is the first laboratory demonstration of exceeding "scientific breakeven"(or Gtarget>1) where 2.05 MJ of 351 nm laser light produced 3.1 MJ of total fusion yield, a result which significantly exceeds the Lawson criterion for fusion ignition as reported in a pr

Quantitatively assessing the impact of irrigation and groundwater management strategies is crucial for improving water productivity and soil salinity control in cold arid areas with shallow groundwater tables (CAASGT). However, existing studies often focus on specific periods, either the crop growth period or the freeze–thaw period, due to the lack of appropriate models that can accurately represe

International systems are currently conceived and based on the traditional four IR theories, that is realism, liberalism, constructivism and marxism. This means that political units converge and become homogeneous like the remaining political units. It occurs, advocates say, either through competition within the competitive system or through conformity since it is negligent and irrational, thus co

Climate change is an ever-increasing global phenomenon that affects the world on many levels, most notably environmentally. As some countries have better resources than others, and some are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change than others, climate change has a varied priority among the countries in the world. The way to prevent climate change from increasing is through acts of climate

This study aims to analyze the ongoing discourse on the migration-development nexus in Sweden since the transition of government in 2022. Through a critical discourse analysis and from a securitization theory, the study seeks to examine the language and rhetoric utilized in political debates and policy decisions.The study adopts a qualitative approach, enabling an in-depth analysis with emphasis o

Radical right wing populist parties are, or were, typically at some point isolated from executive power. After the Swedish elections in 2022, the Sweden Democrats became not only a support party to the national government, but made their way into local ruling coalitions in many municipalities. This study explores the municipalities which SD rules after the 2022 elections, through the lens of tradi

Today the climate in the arctic regions are changing at a rapid rate, faster than any speed previously recorded in human history but how is it impacting the geopolitical situation in these regions? New territory is being created by the ice melting and new natural resources are being found, how can this impact the current situation? This study looks at and discusses the current geopolitical situati

Min uppsats handlar om klimatpolitik på kommunal nivå. Jag har utfört en fallstudie om Jönköping kommun lokala klimatarbete där min frågeställning handlar om varför de inte har kommit så långt som andra kommuner? Utöver fallstudie så använder jag mig även av kvalitativ innehållsanalys för att kunna bearbeta de styrdokument samt intervjuer jag har utfört. Analys visar bland annat på att fokus på ek
