The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), spearheaded by China, represents a transformative global infrastructure and economic development strategy. This thesis investigates the intricate ramifications of the BRI in East Africa, with a focus on Kenya's and Tanzania's strategic engagements. Adopting a qualitative exploratory approach grounded in secondary data sources, the study examines how thes
The CFA Franc Zone in Northern Africa is a currency union where the currency has been pegged to the French Franc since 1945. After the formation of the European Monetary Union in 1999, the peg is now against the larger currency Euro and no longer against one single currency, the French Franc. Has the new peg to the Euro had a positive effect on the CFA countries’ trade flow with the Eurozone compa
The previous studies that mention Tagore and Gibran together have dealt merely with their lives or the influences they have had to one another. There has not been a comparative study of their works, say Gitanjali and The Prophet, with the focus on certain themes, such as love and longing. The prose-poems of Gibran and Tagore's songs have been influenced by Sufi poetry on the themes mentioned a
During operation of a nuclear power plant the neutron radiation of the reactor core may induce activity in surrounding components and equipment. These may in turn become radiation hazards during decommissioning or component exchanges. To better plan for this, models of the degree of activation and subsequently, the dose are therefore of great importance. Building upon a previous study of the neutr
It has been suggested that physical or social activity is associated with fewer sleep disturbances among elderly people. Women report more sleep disturbances than men, which could indicate a variation in activity patterns between the genders. The aim of this study was to investigate associations between sleep disturbances and leisure activities in men and women (n = 945) aged ≥60 years in a Swedis
Amplification of innate immune responses by endogenous danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) promotes inflammation. The involvement of S100A8 and S100A9, DAMPs belonging to the S100 calgranulin family, in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular disease is attracting an increasing amount of interest. S100A8 and S100A9 (also termed MRP8 and MRP14) preferentially form the S100A8/A9 heterodimer (MRP
User-producer interactions have been recognized as important for innovation. With the rapid growth of emerging economies' markets, and an increasing degree of technological sophistication of both users and producers in those markets, user-producer interaction is becoming global. Using original firm-level data, this paper explores how collaboration with users in different income regions affects the
Bovine mastitis is a continuous problem in the dairy industry. The infection has significant impact on health and welfare of animals and causes financial losses for the farmers and the dairy industry. A key bacterium associated with bovine mastitis is Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). It produces different exotoxins including more than 24 different staphylococcal enterotoxins and toxic shock synd
SummaryElevated HDL-C levels are generally regarded as prognostically favorable in cardiovascular disease. Our study shows that higher HDL cholesterol levels are prospectively associated with 18% increased risk of new-onset fractures in men but not in women. Higher HDL cholesterol may be a novel risk factor for developing fractures in men.PurposeIncreased high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-
Polyoxometalates (POMs) and their instrinsic discrete nature has enabled them to support a wide range of research spanning solution-speciation chemistry, biological/medical assays, catalytic processes and fundamental crystallography. The structure-property relationship of POMs are a consequence of their constiuent metal atoms, which inevitably are formed under specific regimes - for simplicity, ac
Denna studie undersökte hur längden på videor på sociala medier och videornas innehållstyp influerade arbetsminne och inhibering. Totalt deltog 40 deltagare i åldern 20-44 år, vilka delades in i fyra grupper. Deltagarna fick se antingen en TikTok-spellista med ett flertal korta videor eller en längre YouTube-video, vilka innehöll informativt eller icke-informativt innehåll. Före och efter visningeThis study investigated how the length of social media videos and content type influenced working memory and inhibition. A total of 40 participants aged 20-44 years were assigned to four different groups. They watched either a TikTok playlist with several short-form videos or a longer YouTube video containing informative or non-informative content. Before and after the viewing session, the partici
Att jobba med att framträda – om psykologiska processer och psykiskt mående Skriv din uppsats i samarbete med Musikhögskolan i Malmö Hej alla psykologstudenter! Jag hoppas kunna locka er till att skriva examensuppsats där musik och musiker kan vara i fokus. Jag är leg. psykolog och arbetar nu främst med performance som begrepp och då i kurser med musikerstuderande på Musikhögskolan i Malmö (del av

Over-the-air multi-probe setups provide an efficient way to characterize the performance of today’s advanced wireless communication systems. In this paper the measurement uncertainty of such a setup using a car as a test object is characterized through three experiments: measurement system analysis, channel sounder measurements, and probe coupling measurements. Four issues were in focus for the an
Objectives: To describe energy intake and its macronutrient and food sources among 27 regions in 10 countries participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and Nutrition (EPIC) study. Methods: Between 1995 and 2000, 36 034 subjects aged 35-74 years were administered a standardized 24-h dietary recall. Intakes of macronutrients (g/day) and energy (kcal/day) were estimated usin
Many of the interesting physics processes to be measured at the LHC have a signature involving one or more isolated electrons. The electron reconstruction and identification efficiencies of the ATLAS detector at the LHC have been evaluated using proton-proton collision data collected in 2011 at TeV and corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 4.7 fb. Tag-and-probe methods using events with lep
Detailed stratigraphic analyses of sediments deposited in Lake Botjarnen, a small boreal forest lake in the shield terrain of central Sweden, clearly reflect progressively increasing human impact on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems following settlement and establishment of an iron industry in the 17th century. Rising frequencies of pollen and spores from light-demanding plants provide evidence o
Abstract in UndeterminedThe present study combines behavioral observations of memory (deferred imitation, DI, after a brief delay of 30 min and after a long delay of 2-3 weeks) and electrophysiological (event-related potentials, ERPs) measures of associative memory, as well as parental reports of non-verbal and verbal communication in sixteen 14-months-old children. Results show that for DI, the c
