Triple-win projects have been failing in Sub-Saharan Africa. The top-down approach of policymakers and donors lead to the priorities of local stakeholders not being accounted for which in turn leads to trade-offs. Instead of disregarding triple-wins, researchers have suggested they could be used as building blocks in the emerging pathways literature, therefore accounting for a broader set of goals

This paper presents a highly parallelized MIMO signal detection algorithm targeting vector-based reconfigurable architectures. The detector achieves high data-level parallelism and near-ML performance by adopting a vector-architecture-friendly technique - parallel node perturbation. To further reduce the computational complexity, imbalanced node and successive partial node expansion schemes in con

The basic electrochemistry of carbon paste electrodes modified with Meldola Blue adsorbed on zirconium phosphate (MB-ZP-CPEs) and their ability to oxidize NADH have been investigated. Three types of carbon powder (graphite and glassy carbon-type Sigradur K and G) were used to obtain MB-ZP-CPEs. On comparing cyclic voltammograms recorded at MB-ZP-CPEs, similarly prepared from the three different ca

In this work we study the problem of constructing precoders for spatially multiplexed multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) channels with close to optimal minimum Euclidean distance. In order to exploit the full potential of such designs, an ML detector must be used. Our design takes the decoding complexity into account and constrain it to a reasonable level. For our simplest case, the ML det

The purpose of this essay was to see how the child's voice was being heard in the verdicts in trials. I looked into court cases where parents wanted custody of their child/children. The focus of my analysis was on how the verdicts were presented and if the child/children were described in the court cases. The method that I used was qualitative documentanalysis. I chose seven court cases to inv

A number of ESCOs in Ontario are expanding their standard business model of energy performance contracting to include financing and expertise for the inclusion of renewable energy generation. This paper is a qualitative exploration of this business practice, referred to here as “renewable energy contracting”. Through semi-structured interviews with ESCO experts and a literature analysis, this rese

The main aim of this paper is to contribute to finding a good solution to the ethical problem of live plucking. The use of new eco-environmental kapok fibres as a coat filler substitute for traditional duckling down was reported. The physical structures of kapok fibre were studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The thermal and evaporative resistance properties of twelve sets of traditional

Syftet med projektet har varit att utveckla Certecklockan till ett bärbart tidshjälpmedel. Certecklockan är ett tidshjälpmedel som mäter tiden i längd, detta för att hjälpa personer med kognitiva funktionshinder att få en bättre tidsuppfattning. I början av projektet hade vi ett antal olika förslag så som armbandsur, något att hänga runt halsen, mobiltelefon mm. Men vi kom till slut fram till att The aim of this project was to develop the Certec Clock into a portable time aid. The Certec Clock measures time in length to help people with cognitive limitations gain a better perception of the concept of time. At the beginning of the project, we came up with a variety of ideas including a wristwatch, a necklace watch and a mobile phone. We reached the conclusion that a handheld computer was th

Uppsatsen tar sitt avstamp i den politiska nollvisionen att inga barn ska vräkas. En utredning av gällande rätt klargör att även om det kan finnas en lagstadgad social rätt till bostad för barn så är denna inte så väldefinierad och reglerad att den är utkrävbar i domstol. Hyreslagen i jordabalkens 12:e kapitel ger så små möjligheter att i begränsade fall ta hänsyn till att barn kan beröras av en aThis study takes it start in the political vision zero regarding avoiding evictions of families with children. A thorough investigation of de lege lata gives the result that although Swedish law grants children a social right to housing this right is not defined to the point that it can be claimed in a court of law. Swedish rental property law, 12th chapter of the Land Code, jordabalken, gives nil

he historical legacy of colonialism worldwide has created challenges for Indigenous peoples, including racial discrimination and marginalization. This is reflected in, inter alia, the overrepresentation of Indigenous children in child welfare systems, even in countries performing comparably high in human right advancements otherwise. While there may be a broad spectrum of reasons for this issue, t

Den här texten beskriver processen under vilken jag studerat mig själv som improvisationsmusiker i formatet solopiano. Jag undersöker hur jag skapar bästa möjliga förutsättningar för att känna mig både fri, inspirerad och motiverad, när jag inte får någon musikalisk information från andra medmusiker. Med hjälp av etablerandet av strikta ramar och begränsningar av olika karaktär har jag genomfört i

This thesis explores how the politics of cyber conflict redefine violence, sovereignty, and territory in and through cyberspace. It does this by studying how the digital mediates different facets and experiences of conflict and security in Palestine. Through a comprehensive and context-informed approach, this research theorizes cyber conflict as a phenomenon spanning beyond the conventional sites,
