The nomadic pastoralists of the Sahel are often identified as a group at the frontline of global climate change. Their existence in arid and semi-arid regions and their reliance on seasonal rainfall are among the factors that contribute to their vulnerability to drought and climate shocks. This study focuses on risks to pastoralists in Sudan, asking whether index-based livestock insurance, an innoPastoralism is a nomadic lifestyle and a livelihood system that revolves around raising livestock. By migrating seasonally in search of water and pasture for their animals, pastoralists are able to inhabit and make productive use some of the world’s harshest environments. In Sudan, where over 90% of the vast land area is covered by desert and drylands, pastoralism remains a vital feature of the co

In recent years, two Swedish companies have been a focus of substantial media attention: TeliaSonera and Lundin Petroleum. The defensive strategies employed by these two businesses to deal with allegations of crime will be analysed on the basis of Stanley Cohen’s theoretical work on processes of denial and neutralisation techniques. This paper will focus on a particular form of denial, namely the In recent years, two Swedish companies have been a focus of substantial media attention: TeliaSonera and Lundin Petroleum.

This changing age structure increases the per worker cost of providing a given age-vector of per capita benefits, encompassing costs for pensions, health care, and all other type of old-age welfare services, which presents a looming challenge

In today society people live longer and along with the rising life expectancy chronic diseases, like dementia, will become more common. The demand on more and better assistive technology, technology that ease the everyday life for the persons with dementia, will increase. The assistive technology currently recommended by occupational therapists are mainly low-technological solutions. There exist

This thesis analyzes the workings of the natural resource curse in Bolivia through a comparison between two periods with different institutional conditions and under dependency on tin and natural gas respectively. First the conditions for handling the resource curse are analyzed and a hypothesis is presented, suggesting that both periods are likely to have suffered from the natural resource curse

This thesis is investigating the conflict between the state and pirates in an actor perspective. It shows that the conflict contains both an indirect- and a direct conflict. The first is a military and juridical struggle where the state tries to defeat pirates. The latter is a competition on controlling the large values transported via sea. I conclude that the state has not defeated pirates becaus

This paper aims to explain how one can understand changes in Swedish migration policy over the last 50 years. The thesis is that changes in migration policy can be derived from changes in ideas of how the world is percepted. In the paper a neo-institutional theory of ideas is used to explain how changes in perception effects changes in public policy. The paper focuses partly on perceptions of what

In this report the characteristics of the electron applicator system for an Elekta SLi Plus linear accelerator have been studied. The investigation will serve as a basis for a new applicator design that will give less radiation leakage. The present applicator system does not fully comply with the recommendations of the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) Standards recording radiation l

The area of direct taxation is, as a consequence of the limited harmonisation within the EU, an area surrounded by several interests that have appeared to be hard to unite. On one hand the EU Member States have the competence in the area of direct taxation to legislate in conformity with their own political considerations. On the other hand the EU law demands conformity with the freedoms regulated

This study was conducted in collaboration with Air Liquide France Industry and investigates one of the production lines of the company.The quality of gas cylinders must be assessed every 10 to 15 years for safety reasons. The line studied in this study evaluates the quality of cylinders by both a visual inspection and a hydraulic pressure test.

But what if a closer look reveals that efficiency isn't just about what meets the eye? Embark with me on a detailed exploration inside a gas cylinder plant, seeking to understand its true operational dynamics. To begin our investig
