Resulting from CSO critique of the Paris Declaration signatories of the Accra Agenda committed themselves to deepen CSO engagement in national aid effectiveness. Therefore the purpose herein is to increase understanding over functions, mechanisms, hindrances and opportunities facing CSO in this process in Tanzania. The primary method for achieving this was semi-structured interviews with 21 perso
As requirements regarding energy efficiency are getting tougher, buildings in the arctic, as well as the rest of the world, need to be more energy efficient without compromising a good indoor climate. This article presents measured moisture supply and occupancy level in a Swedish arctic multi-family apartment block. Measurements were done over 1 year every 30 minutes in a building consisting of 51
Within a UN Joint Programme titled “Enhancing the Capacity of Turkey to Adapt to Climate Change” a systems approach workshop was carried out in Adana, Turkey with broad stakeholder participation. The participants applied systems thinking approach, causal loop diagramming methodology and systems analysis to examine the potential impacts of projected climatic changes on natural ecosystems and socio-
A new work organization was introduced in administrative surveying work in Sweden during 1998. The new work organization implied a transition to a client-centred team-based organization and required a change in competence from specialist to generalist knowledge as well as a transition to a new information technology, implying a greater integration within the company. The aim of this study was to f
Observations of the ultra-sharp-lined HgMn star chi Lupi made with the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph after the Hubble Space Telescope First Servicing Mission display the effect of COSTAR corrective optics upon the spectral resolution of several observing modes. The resolution is restored to levels expected in the absence of the telescope spherical aberration for all observations made throug
An organization aiming to survive on a more challenging or changing market has to adapt or fundamentally change the way it is doing business. For the Swedish forest products industry, and more specifically the paper packaging industry, the market challenges range from saturated home markets, competing materials and increasing production costs, to growth of new markets and more powerful actors in t
The subject of the dissertation is the influence of shorter working days on welfare. The focus is the reduction of paid daily working hours as an instrument for better working conditions and a better life. The empirical study is based on a hospital where working hours have been reduced in four wards by one hour a day in three of the geriatric nursing departments. The aim of the dissertation was t
Aim: Life expectancy of people with intellectual disability (ID) has increased along with that in the general population. The aims were to estimate prevalence of older people with intellectual disabilities (ID) during 2004-2012, and identify differences in prevalence across counties in Sweden. Method: Individuals aged 55+ years were identified through two national registers; the LSS register and t
Cold attics are a common element present in the Swedish residential building stock. They are known to be prone to mould problems due to their low ventilation and are one of the main channels through which buildings lose heat. One of the strategies that can help solve cold attic problems and at the same time contribute to solving the housing crisis is their conversion into habitable spaces. This re
Soil nutrients and light have major effects on the economics of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) symbioses. This study tests the main and interactive effects of soil fertility and light on AM fungal community. We conducted a 3 year mesocosm experiment with a full two factorial design: light (full light or shade) and soil fertility (unfertilized or fertilized), on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau. Plant trai
Our main purpose was to enlighten the importance for the "samverkans-" project for the children of parents with a psychological disorder. The purpose of our empirical study was to examine if this project supports and give benefit to the children, a threatened group. Our questions were: How does the reality appear for a child of parents with a psychological disorder from a professional po
This study examined pathways to quality-of-life (QOL) among hotel staff facing job insecurity, considering the roles of customer orientation, organizational commitment, leadership, and job engagement. A research model was developed and tested using path analysis on survey data, comparing groups with high and low job insecurity. Results showed the model explained 43.3 % of variance in QOL. Customer
We argue that the subject matter and objectives of risk science establish it as an inherently interdisciplinary field, closely connected to both academic disciplines and practical applications. However, risk research faces a range of interdisciplinary challenges. These include the production of low-quality research—characterised by superficial and insufficiently grounded conclusions—a lack of mutu

This paper presents measured moisture supply and occupancy level in a Swedish Arctic multi-family building. Measurements were done during one year with readings every 30 minutes in a building consist

OBJECTIVES: Mental disorders are among the leading causes of nonfatal burden of disease globally.METHODS: We used the global burden of diseases, injuries, and risk factors study 2015 to examine the burden of mental disorders in the Eastern Mediterranean region (EMR). We defined mental disorders according to criteria proposed in the diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders IV and the 1
Background: The dynamics of phosphorus (P) in the environment is important for regulating nutrient cycles in natural and managed ecosystems and an integral part in assessing biological resilience against environmental change. Organic P (Po) compounds play key roles in biological and ecosystems function in the terrestrial environment being critical to cell function, growth and reproduction. Scope:
