Political conditionality is when certain conditions concerning democracy, the respect for human and civil rights, and the rule of law are to be met by the recipient country either as a prerequisite for, or for keeping up aid. It may seem impossible to ethically justify aid without these kinds of conditions, but they can bring about severe complications that have to be taken into consideration in f
Abstract The purpose of this study is to describe and analyze the underlying factors of a youth’s attraction to criminal youth gangs. We have chosen a qualitative approach. The primary sources for our study were interviews with seven people. These interviews were semi structured in their approach. We have used the labeling theory in order to describe and analyze the phenomenon. The result clearly
Ökande oljepriser och en stigande efterfrågan gör idag undersökningar av alternativa petroleumreservoarer extra intressanta. Istället för att borra i den sedimentära berggrunden ges nu möjligheten att granska kristallina berggrundsreservoarer. Den här typen av borrning i kristallin berggrund äger rum på flera platser i världen, exempelvis i Vietnam och Yemen. Det norska företaget Lundin Norway AS Rising oil prices and an increasing global use of fossil fuels make the survey of alternative petroleum reservoirs of great importance. Instead of drilling in regular sedimentary successions, the possibility of investigating reservoirs in crystalline basement is in many places of economic interest. Reservoirs in crystalline basement rock are producing oil in several countries e.g. Vietnam and Yeme
Considering the present environmental degradations, Bangladesh is one of the most affected and vulnerable countries in the world. In particular, its coastal areas are prone to frequent environmental changes. More people are now displaced by climate change than by war (Mehreb 2006: 27). Environmental vulnerabilities have already contributed to large permanent migrations each and every year, almost
Within the broader literature on civil society organisations (CSOs) there are a number of discussions and debates concerning how to disentangle, dimensionalise, and evaluate the complex concept of legitimacy. Scholars have presented different “dimensions”, “components”, and “types” of legitimacy, as well as suggestions for how to evaluate legitimacy based on the “roles” a CSO should play within a
The critical discourse analysis demonstrates that when we say something, we do something as well. By using the critical discourse analysis on the office of the Chancellor of Justice investigation against Roma, this paper shows how the communicative event affects Roma’s social practice in the EU-countries. Roma is a marginalized group with a major impact on the EU-countries, which has lead the EU-c
Fjärranalys har med hjälp av bilder med hög temporär upplösning blivit ett kraftigt verktyg för att övervaka Land use/Land cover (LULC) förändringar. Sudan har under lång tid varit utsatt för intensiv Markanvändning/Markytsförändringar (LULC). Dessa LULC förändringar har resulterat i omfattande land degradering. Omvandlingen av naturskog och skog är fortfarande den vanligaste orsaken till expansioRemote sensing with high temporal resolution images has become a very strong tool for monitoring the Land use/Land cover (LULC) changes. Sudan has long been experiencing intense LULC changes. These LULC changes have resulted in widespread land degradation. The conversion of natural woodland and forest is still the main source for agricultural expansion in Sudan. Rainfed mechanized farming (RMF) is
This paper presents a hysteretic (sliding mode) control IC for a buck DC/DC converter for use as an envelope tracking power supply to increase the efficiency of an RF power amplifier. The IC integrates a high-bandwidth error amplifier, a comparator with hysteresis, and a high-side driver for an external N-channel power MOSFET. The total control loop delay using the implemented IC is 35ns, this is
According to Swedish law, the Child and Youth Habilitation Services are obliged to report abuse and neglect of disabled children to the Social Services. Only a small proportion of all children who are suspected of being victims of abuse or neglect are however reported to the Social Services. The aim of this study is to discuss why some cases of abuse and neglect of disabled children are considered
Several recent international publications (e.g. Platzack 1996, 2001; Håkansson, Pienemann & Sayehli 2002; Pienemann 1998; Pienemann & Håkansson 1999) have claimed that learners take the same developmental route in the acquisition of syntax of a second or foreign language, irrespective of their first language (L1). Targetlike verb placement in a Germanic V2 language like German, Dutch or Sw
Utilization of an ethanol driven, combustion-based power generator promises high-efficiency combustion in diesel-like engines and avoids problems connected to shrinking supplies of fossil fuels since fuels like ethanol or dimethyl ether can be produced from renewable resources. Fuel injection into such generator through a piezoelectric micro mass flow controller (MMFC) features low power consumpti
In this presentation, I will discuss results from a study with young trans and non-binary people on their experiences in school in Sweden. On the one hand, I am interested in the production of vulnerability through and within schools (rather than showing (off) trans and non-binary young people as the wound). Here, Natacha Kennedy’s terminology of cultural cis-genderism, Iwo Nord, Signe Bremer Gagn
Background: Music festivals are known to attract a high proportion of drug users. Methods: Using a survey of 1,772 visitors at the Roskilde Festival in Denmark, we assessed substance use at the festival, the incidence of use of substances among never-users and the incidence of use among lifetime users who had not used a substance in the past 12 months. Results: New onset of tobacco use was reporte
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) are glandular kallikreins secreted by the prostate gland. Both enzymes are synthesized with a propeptide that is supposedly cleaved off in the prostate to yield the mature forms found in semen. We have purified and characterised recombinant PSA and hK2 produced in eucaryotic cells. Recombinant PSA was recovered as a zymogen and
To be relevant for public health, a context (e.g., neighborhood, school, hospital) should influence or affect the health status of the individuals included in it. The greater the influence of the shared context, the higher the correlation of subject outcomes within that context is likely to be. This intra-context or intra-class correlation is of substantive interest and has been used to quantify t
The kaon electroproduction reaction 1H(e,e′K+)Λ was studied as a function of the virtual-photon four-momentum, Q2, total energy, W, and momentum transfer, t, for different values of the virtual-photon polarization parameter. Data were taken at electron beam energies ranging from 3.40 to 5.75 GeV. The center of mass cross section was determined for twenty-one kinematics corresponding to Q2 of 1.90
Biblioteks- och informationsvetenskaplig forskning har visat hur infrastruk-turer och data inte är neutrala utan bidrar till att forma både det som de re-presenterar och sammanhangen där de används. Vi utgår från dessa insik-ter och diskuterar i artikeln en nyhetsrapportering från november 2015 som handlade om en eventuell förändring av abortgränsen i Sverige. Registerda-ta från Svenskt Neonatalt
