There are currently only six countries in Africa that can be considered as free. However, none of them are yet democratically consolidated. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine what issues remains to be dealt with for these countries to become democratically consolidated. The method used is a case study on Namibia that is based on the theory by Linz and Stepan. The findings are that Namib
Corporate Social Responsibility is today a recognised concept companies have to act on in order to meet the stakeholders’ increased demands. An increased environmental debate in the society as well as increased regulations requires companies to focus on environmental questions to a greater extent than before. Companies need to control their environmental performance and focus on their significant
Stress among children and youth is increasing and there are thought to be numerous different explanatory factors. Examples of those are the growing demands of society, lacking support from adults, as well as significant amounts of aspects in school. According to the Swedish education act a school is obliged to incorporate student care, wherein which a school nurse should be included. No other guid
The study investigates how the consumption of bulk commodities has transformed from mundane to remarkable and reveals how people, events, meanings and ideas from the past have affected this change in consumers’ attitude. The paper discusses how mundane products have become a center of consumer interest and provides theoretical explanation of the phenomenon. The research focuses on bottled water as
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Jag har studerat ungefär 450 miljoner år gammalt material från Cincinnati-området i USA. Materialet består av stenplattor av olika storlek, med fossila rester av olika havslevande organismer. Under tidsperioden Ordovicium låg den amerikanska kontinenten vid ekvatorn och dess inre täcktes av ett hav. Just i området kring Cincinnati avlagrades i detta epikontinentThe study aims to reconstruct the palaeoenvironments and faunas from six different localities in the area of Cincinnati, USA. The Upper Ordovician consists of limestones with intercalating mudstones. The faunas are rich and very diverse. The taxonomic composition and taphonomic indications are briefly described. The palaeoenvironment and faunal communities are reconstructed and compared to Bretsky
The society has always tried to get rid of those who do not "fit in". They doesn't follow the normal behaviour and rules and have to be "dismissed". The community has developed different kinds of institutional care for individuals with dysfunctional behaviour. Those institutions are mental hospitals and prisons. Many of these institutions put the individuals in an extreme s
The monarchical regimes of the Gulf States have for a long time remained outstandingly consistent. The aim of this thesis is to explain this political consistency by comparing Saudi Arabia with Iran, covering the time period from Muhammed Reza Shah's accession to the throne in 1941 up until the Islamic Revolution of 1979. We agree that regime consistency theoretically depends on the legitimacy
The purpose of this essay is to study the external circumstances of when and where baptisms are performed in the Church of Sweden. Throughout history, baptism has moved between home, church and other places. Through a literary review, I give an overview of this development and then move deeper into the development from the mid-1900s and onwards. In this part I study the ideals that have prevailed
As a researcher, I have spent countless hours hunting for tags. Recently, I started thinking about ways to represent not just my physical search, but also the thought process taking place alongside the visible bodily activities: remembering – for example – the style, medium, size and placement of previous tags of interest in order to better spot similar tags and their likely locations.This video i
Previous studies on the extreme thermophile Caldicellulosiruptor saccharolyticus revealed that the organism produces high yields of hydrogen on glucose and xylose, the major components of lignocellulosic hydrolysates. Preliminary experiments on mixed sugar substrates, however, indicated that xylose was preferred over glucose. The sugar preference of some other extreme thermophiles, including Caldi

A non-Granger causality test between bank lending and different economic performance measures represented by the real economy, real assets and the financial economy is conducted on Sweden. To capture for the effects of structural changes in the economy, a long period is analyzed (142 years) and two types of tests are made, one for the short- run and one for the long-run. The main findings are that
Alla barn har rätt till en grundläggande utbildning. Det är en mänsklig rät-tighet som stadgas i exempelvis barnkonventionen. Forskning visar att sko-lan är en bra skyddsfaktor, en fungerande skolgång minskar risken att hamna i ogynnsamma förhållanden, exempelvis kriminalitet. Barn som är placerade utanför hemmet är en grupp som löper större risk att hamna i ogynnsamma förhållanden, samtidigt som Every child has the right to a primary education. This is a human right stat-ed in documents such as the Convention on the Rights of the Child. Re-search shows that school is a significant protective factor; a functioning school experience reduces the risk of ending up in harmful environments, such as criminality. Children placed outside their homes are a group which are at greater risk of ending
The Japanese language has as any other language been grammaticalized throughout history. Many different aspects regarding the Japanese language has at some point underwent this phenomenon. However, the aspect that will be considered in the following disquisition is the Japanese auxiliary verbs, with consistent focus on the two verbs oku and shimau. These two verbs have when used a grammatical mark
Observed declines in pollinator populations due to human pressures is of critical concern because pollination is an essential regulating ecosystem service (ES). Pollination has a major role in human food production and in maintaining flowering plant diversity. Estimating the pollination ES and its trends is thus essential for informing policy and management. However, the pollination ES remains poo
Using wreath products, we construct a finitely generated pro-p group G with infinite normal Hausdorff spectrum here hdim p G : (X|X ⊂ G) [0,1]denotes the Hausdorff dimension function associated to the p-power series p:Gpi, i ε N0 More precisely, we show that hspec p (G)=[0,1/3] ∪ (1) contains an infinite interval; this settles a question of Shalev. Furthermore, we prove that the normal Hausdorff s
Amyloid fibrils are highly insoluble in neutral aqueous media of regular ionic strengths making solubilization a difficult task that normally calls for extremely harsh treatment. This is among the reasons for the routine employment of synthetic proteins in amyloid research, where the amylogenic components are needed. Here we describe a process for solubilizing amyloid in pure water that we adopted
