Cities in Sub-Saharan Africa are characterised by informal transportation services compensating for the lack of institutionalised transportation system. In Kampala, Uganda, the vast army of boda-boda (boda) motorcycle taxis have proliferated through the city, with passengers and/or cargo goods straddled behind the boda drivers as they navigate through the city’s congested and dilapidated roads. De

Idrotten har en särskild position i samhället och behandlas därför därefter. T.ex. särbehandlas idrottsrörelsen genom att de allmänna och rättsliga reglernas tillämpningsområde begränsas gentemot idrotten. Detta är särskilt tydligt på straffrättens område då många idrotter utövas med olika grader av våld vilket accepteras av såväl samhället som rättsväsendet. Syftet med denna uppsats är därför attSports have a special position in the society and are therefore treated accordingly. For example does the community treat sport differently by limiting the scope of the general and legal rules towards the sports movement. This is particularly clear in criminal law, as many sports are exercised with different degrees of violence, which is accepted by both the society and the judiciary. The purpose

Uppsatsen handlar om varför har demokratisering lyckats bättre i Tunisien än i Egypten. För att få fram resultat har uppsatsen ställt sig frågan om vilken roll har civilsamhällets resning och politisk splittring haft? Genom att använda sig av jämförande metod. Resultatet i båda länder visar att civilsamhället och politisk splittring ledde till en demokratisk transition men utfallet i Egypten blev

Lower-limb amputation was performed on 261 patients from a catchment population of 232,500 in 1984-1986, and 253 of the amputees were retrospectively followed up. In 241 cases amputation was performed because of threatening or manifest gangrene, 95 of them without preceding consultation with vascular surgeons. In 19 cases amputation followed thromboembolectomy. Of the 127 patients seen by vascular

Water exchange on Pt(H20)42+ and trans-PtCI2(H20)2 has been studied by means of a new oxygen18 tracing technique. The exchange between a platinum(II) complex and 018-enriched water has been rapidly quenched by addition of excess chlorine, which gives a substitution-inert platinum(IV) complex. The time-dependent oxygen16/oxygen18 distributions of the platinum(II) complexes are obtained from the 195

The reactions in acidic aqueous solution between thiocyanate and each of the gold(II1) complexes Au(NH,)?+, rrans-Au- (NH,)zC12t, and rrans-A~(NH,)~Br~+ have been studied by use of potentiometric pH measurements and sequential-mixing stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The reactions give a common gold(1) product whereas the rate-controlling steps are different. The reaction between Au(NH,)?+ and thiocThe reactions in acidic aqueous solution between thiocyanate and each of the gold(III) complexes Au(NH3)43+, trans-Au(NH3)2C12+, and trans-Au(NH3)2Br2+ have been studied by use of potentiometric pH measurements and sequential-mixing stopped-flow spectrophotometry. The reactions give a common gold(I) product whereas the rate-controlling steps are different. The reaction between Au(NH3)43+ and thioc

The present report is a 'H NMR investigation of the dimethyl sulfoxide exchange on Pt(Me2S0)42+ as a function of temperature and pressure in CD3N02. Dimethyl sulfoxide is an ambidentate ligand, and the complex contains two 0-bonded and two S-bonded ligands that are exchanging with the free ligand at different rates. It is favorable to follow these exchanges in a non-coordinating diluent like nitro

Purpose: Substance use disorders and problematic substance use are common problems in adolescence and young adulthood. Brief personalized feedback has been suggested for treatment of alcohol and drug problems and poor mental health. This repeated measurement randomized controlled trial examines the effect of an interactive voice response (IVR) system for assessing stress, depression, anxiety and s

This paper investigates the impact of rating agencies in a market with asymmetric information. In particular, the role of credit rating agencies as an intermediary between investors and bond issuers is discussed. We model this setting in a dynamic framework in which both rating agencies and bond issuers are of heterogeneous quality. Rating agencies can apply costly research technology to reveal th

Like many other large cities, Stockholm is facing increased urbanization with densification of infrastructure as a result. At the same time, implementation of the Baltic Sea Action Plan and the EU Water Framework Directive is expected to result in more stringent effluent quality demands. The current situation gives rise to new challenges for the municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This

In order to support a sustainability transition in the energy sector, actors need knowledge about barriers and drivers to the deployment of clean energy technologies. Solar photovoltaics (PV) is a renewable energy technology that is technically mature and on the verge of becoming economically competitive in numerous regions around the world. Not least in the residential segment, PV has considerabl
