Does democracy increase economic growth? This thesis has narrowed down the question to empirically estimating the causal effect of local elections of district heads on economic growth in Indonesia by using a quasi-experimental research method, or “natural experiment” approach. In Indonesia the first elections of district heads were performed in a staggered manner, and decided such that the year of
Sustainable utilization of scarce water resources requires a conceptualization and understanding of both local and regional climate variability. This work deals with an analysis of climate variability and human impacts on the water balance of the Lake Chad drainage basin of northern Africa. Mean annual precipitation and discharge time series from 112 rain gauges and monthly mean SST anomalies were

How societies are interlinked with their environment is as evident in the 21st century as ever before. This study is an attempt to examine the relationship between climate change and inequality in India. Climate change is quantified by investigating climate
Urbanisation is an inevitable part of globalisation. With the globalised food chain in place to feed the growing number of people living in urban areas. A remedy is often expressed to be urban farming, with local, sustainable production of food. This study presents a preliminary assessment of the dynamics between urban farms and residents in Malmö. Urban farms produce available food for the reside
The collective fight for self-determination among indigenous peoples around the world has made headlines over the past few years. The exploitation of indigenous territories by settler-states has revived nationalist feelings among the groups, including the Sami, whose territories spread across four states.

Det nuvarande globala systemet är organiserat i territoriella, suveräna stater – ett system som vilar på många antaganden. En viktig aspekt är att påståendet att en del av att vara suverän för med sig förmågan att kontrollera ens gränser och förekomsten av icke-medborgare på ens territorium. Samtidigt visar senare utveckling att förhållningssätt (och försök att reglera) individer som korsar gränseThe current global order is organised into territorial, sovereign states – a system built upon many assumptions. One major aspect is the claim that being sovereign entails the ability to control one’s borders as well as the presence of aliens on one’s territory. At the same time, recent developments have shown that approaches to (and attempts to regulate) individuals crossing borders cannot be und
Natural killer cells are part of the immune system and one of their main functions is to dispose of cancer cells and virus-infected cells. In order to avoid detection by T cells, cancer cells can decrease the expression of MHC I proteins which instead can make them a target for NK cells, making NK cells a suitable for use in therapy. This study sought to investigate the cytotoxic ability of NK cel

The story of a literature review
A general formulation for the distribution problem is presented, which is applicable to frequency distributions of subgrid-scale variables and hydrometeor size distributions, as well as to probability distributions characterizing data uncertainties. The general formulation is presented based upon two well-known basic principles: the maximum-entropy principle and the Liouville equation. The maximum
