This book hopes to offer an insight into the threats facing the vernacular buildings that survive in the Egyptian Western Desert. It offers a guide to those who wish to get involved in rescuing these buildings, those who re-use them and those who care for them. The first part of the book opens with an overview of the problems experienced in places that are only now becoming vulnerable to the rapid
High resolution transmission electron microscopy and digital image processing has been used to investigate the structure and properties of inorganic materials. The image processing was performed with the programming language Semper. All routines are listed in the appendix. The local order in the disordered mineral blatterite was investigated, and was found to extend over several unit cells. The
China's economic rise and its implications for international relations have attracted worldwide attention in recent years. The outcomes of this development are numerous, complex and involve a wide range of issues. In addition to radical consequences for the Chinese society itself they are also affecting the rest of the world. In this context, there is a big uncertainty of what China’s economic dev
This thesis is concerned with developing a consistent regional perspective on the Massim peoples of southeastern Papua New Guinea, a task largely neglected by earlier anthropological studies, it is claimed, or, when sometimes attempted, unsuccessfully accomplished for a number of reasons, both methodological and theoretical. The author uses a comparative approach for investigating a selection of
Popular AbstractAvhandlingen är en feministisk analys av regionalpolitiken som möjliggörare för kvinnor som vill försörja sig på landbygden som egna företagare. Fokus i studien är kvinnor som ville men inte ansåg sig ha eller fick möjlighet driva sina företagsidéer vidare och därför avvecklade dem på ett tidigt stadium. I intervjuer redogör ett antal kvinnor för sina upplevelser av att arbeta för This thesis deals with questions concerning the different strategies women adopt in order to support themselves when they become unemployed in rural areas. One strategy is to start a business of one's one, a strategy supported and called for by the Swedish Government, especially during the 1990s economic recession. Another important factor was the Swedish membership in the EU that demanded cutback
Popular Abstract in Swedish Länge trodde man att mikroorganismer spreds obehindrat på grund av deras ringa storlek och höga celltäthet. Eftersom de är väldigt små kan de lätt transporteras i vattendroppar med hjälp av vinden eller genom att fästa vid andra organismer så som fåglar och insekter. Endast miljöförhållanden som gynnade särskilda mikrober troddes påverka arters spridning och organismsamFor a long time microorganisms were assumed to have unlimited dispersal due to their small size and high cell numbers. Most microbial species can be transported by water currents, in water droplets by wind and attached to other organisms. Environmental conditions alone were supposed to affect the distribution of species and the community composition. Therefore, microorganisms were assumed to consi
From a paradigmatic understanding of tourism, the thing about tourism experiences is that they differ from everyday life. You experience different places, see different people, get to know different ways of doing things, and so on. To do tourism, then, is to experience a series of changes from the ordinary. Several things change in the course of the making and consumption of a tourism product. For
The aim of this study is to analyse the spatial variability of meso-scale precipitation in Scania and to assess the influence of synoptic scale atmospheric circulation. The modes of spatial variation are revealed by EOF analysis of monthly precipitation totals between 1963 and 1990, which were obtained from a dense rain-gauge network in Scania. southern Sweden. The influence of local physiography
OBJECTIVE: Heparin-binding protein (HBP) is a potent inducer of increased vascular permeability. The purpose of this study was to examine plasma levels of HBP in patients with shock. DESIGN: Fifty-three consecutive patients with septic and non-septic shock at a mixed-bed intensive care unit were included, as well as 20 age-matched controls. Patients with local infections but without signs of shock
Background: Evidence-based guidelines should in most cases be followed also in the treatment of elderly. Older people are often suboptimally treated with the recommended drugs. Objectives: To describe how well general practitioners adhere to current guidelines in the treatment of elderly with cardiovascular disease and evaluate local education as a tool for improvement. Method: Data was colle
Cluster headache is characterised by repeated attacks of strictly unilateral pain in the orbital region associated with local autonomic symptoms or signs. The attacks are brief but of a very severe, almost excruciating intensity. For unknown reasons males are affected more often than females. Recent studies suggest that an autosomal dominant gene has a role in some families with cluster headache.
As more and more urban areas are planning and responding to climate change there is a need to understand the role that local action is having at the national and international level. The Paris Agreement called for a global goal on adaptation but in practice aggregating progress on adaptation is hard to achieve. Effective monitoring, evaluation, reporting, and learning systems are crucial to inform
Tourism is a vital sector of the global economy, accounting for more than 10 percent of all employment and bringing benefits to numerous individuals and regions. Understanding how the sector can be managed in a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable manner in tourist destinations around the globe is therefore essential. It is known, however, that different destinations have differ
Alfa Laval has a wide product range for plate heat exchangers that can be applied in most industries. The constant development of new and old heat exchangers drive the need for new and efficient methods that can reliably be used in the development process. In this thesis, a new turbulence model within a computational fluid dynamics-program has been tested and evaluated for one of Alfa Lavals comme
The right- left dimension is stronger in Sweden than in in most European countries, demonstrated by the distinct bloc division in Swedish politics. However, the political landscape is changing and new tendencies has been pointed out for Swedish municipalities. The amount of municipal executive committees with parties from both political blocs has steadily increased during the last legislative term
“In a state of exception” : A qualitative study about palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon Palestinian refugees in Lebanon have lived in refugee camps for 70 years. The situation is extremely difficult in these camps since they exist in a national, legal and political state of exception. Actual living conditions in the camps are affected by huge deficiencies, including poor infrastructure, sanita
The purpose of this study is to get a deeper understanding of how representations of the Gothenburg suburb Biskopsgården in news media affect the people who live there. In an attempt to illustrate how these representations are received and interpreted by the people in Biskopsgården we have interviewed ten people, one on one, who currently live in the area. The conversations have revolved a lot aro
Within Turkey, claims of an increasing number of forest fires ignited by the Turkish military to ‘strategically degrade the environment’ broke out after the Turkish-Kurdish peace process ended in 2015. These claims are built on little evidence, and fire occurrences are not well documented. Yet, the issue has gained attention through the news and social media in recent years (Nurcan Baysal 2018; St
