Land degradation, as a threat to smallholders in the tropics, attracts less attention than other global challenges. In addition, gaps between scientific understandings of land degradation and international policy regimes are problematic. We identify the three most significant debates including their different policy implications: desertification in the Sahel, nutrient depletion in Africa, and rura
This thesis takes as its point of departure an elective course in English: 'Drama in Practice - Shakespeare on Stage'. The course combines theory and practice in that it contains (on the one hand) lectures and written work about one of Shakespeare’s comedies, and (on the other hand) an on-stage part with rehearsals of the same play, culminating in a performance, in costume, before an audience. The
Vietnam is undertaking health financing reform with a view to achieve universal coverage of health insurance within the coming years. To date, around half of the population is covered with some type of health insurance or prepayment. This review applies a conceptual framework of health financing to provide a coherent assessment of the reforms to date with respect to a set of key policy objectives
In large software organizations with a product line development approach a selective testing of product variants is necessary in order to keep pace with the decreased development time for new products, enabled by the systematic reuse. The close relationship between products in product line indicates an option to reduce the testing effort due to redundancy. In many cases test selection is performed
Det har aldrig varit så viktigt att minska kostnader och vara effektiv för att vara konkurrenskraftig på marknaden som det är idag. IKEA står inför stora utmaningar gällande produktionsökning på grund av ökad efterfrågan från marknaden och mål inför 2020. Denna massiva ökning kommer att påverka leverantörer, hjärtat i varuflödet. Den nödvändiga produktionsökningen kommer även att innebära att samaThe importance to cut costs and to be as efficient as possible has never been as important as it is today in order to stay competitive in the market. IKEA are currently facing increasing challenges with the production growth due to a high demand from the market and goals for 2020. This large growth will affect the bottom line of the supply chain, the suppliers. The necessary production growth also
India faces an urban unemployment crisis and a crisis of declining life quality in urban spaces due to a lack of public services and the stress on urban commons. An urban employment guarantee scheme, such as Kerala’s Ayyankali Urban Employment Guarantee Scheme (AUEGS), has the potential to address this twin crisis. Although well envisioned, AUEGS has underperformed since its inception, warranting
Studier visar på att det finns bristfällig forskning om arbetsterapeuters arbete med sexuell hälsa. Syftet: Att undersöka arbetsterapeuters arbete med sexuell hälsa hos individer med intellektuell funktionsnedsättning inom daglig verksamhet och vuxenhabilitering. Metod: Kvantitativ enkätstudie där 30 stycken arbetsterapeuter rekryterades via icke-slumpmässigt bekvämlighetsurval och snöbollsurval. Studies show that there is insufficient research on occupational therapists (OT) work on sexual health. Purpose: Investigate OT’s work on sexual health with individuals with intellectual disabilities in day-centres and adult habilitation. Method: A quantitative survey study where 30 OT’s were recruited via nonrandom convenience selection and snowball selection. Quantitative data were analyzed with
This report covers a survey of the natural occurence of the heavy metal cadmium (Cd) in soil and bedrock in Skåne, Sweden and Europe. The main focus is on the cadmium concentrations in samples of sphalerite (ZnS) collected in quarries in Skåne during the study, and in samples of sphalerite from the rest of Sweden and locations in Spain and USA depostited by the Department of Geology, Lund Universi
The implementation of new treatment methods in social work practice is warranted. Moreover, little is known about professionals' attitudes toward the introduction of evidence-based practices into their communities. Therefore,this article reports on the implementation of a Swedish research project that evaluated Multisystemic Therapy (MST). All investigating social workers in a community-based soci
The thesis aims to explore subjective experiences of everyday occupation, social interaction and the view of the worker role among people with psychiatric disabilities(PD), while also addressing the importance of day centre attendance. The thesis consists of one qualitative study, exploring which characteristics in everyday occupation provide meaning to people with PD, and three quantitative studi
The article focuses on lifestyle entrepreneurship, characterised by a balancing work between personal lifestyle motives and economic motives. It builds on a qualitative study of business owners who have realized a life dream of starting a countryside business in the tourism and hospitality industry in Sweden. Through the notion of "balancing work", the analysis focuses on the tension between a per
Economic crises directly and indirectly affect the financial health of museums. Despite this reality, however, analysing the impact of the economic cycle on museums has not generated much interest among researchers; to date published studies on the recent financial crisis and its reverberations in the museum sector are rare. This article, after acknowledging this lack of research, discusses specif
Uppsatsen redogör för grundstenarna för ett avtalsslut enligt amerikansk avtalsrätt. Rättssystemet tillhör common law-familjen där rättsregler fastställs genom avgjorda rättsfall. Den amerikanska avtalsrätten regleras i huvudsak av två regelverk. Restatement of Contracts är en kodifikation som grundar sig på sedvanerätt, framtagen av American Law Institute, som trots att den inte utgör lag har fåt
Att behandla tumörsjukdomar genom injektion av radioaktiva läkemedel är en behandlingsteknik kallad radionuklidterapi. Det radioaktiva läkemedlet består av en radioaktiv isotop, fäst på en målsökande bärarmolekyl, specifik för den vävnad vari man önskar att läkemedlet skall ansamlas. Då den radioaktiva isotopen sönderfaller sänds joniserande strålning ut; strålning med förmågan att jonisera molekyIntroduction: There is a need of reassessment of radiation absorbed dose specification in nuclear medicine, taking the non-uniformities in the distribution of radioactivity into account. This is especially important in radionuclide therapies where very high activities are administered and the radionuclides emit alpha particles, beta particles or low-energy electron and will require absorbed dose c
The overall energy goals mean that more and more extensive measures need to be applied on buildings with varying degrees of heritage value. Previous studies show that there are a number of measures that have a beneficial impact on different parts of the energy system in historic buildings. What is now needed is a holistic approach that provides an opportunity to prioritize which measures are most
