This study explores the links between good governance and e-readiness within a case study of Kenya’s Laptop Project – a nationwide ICT-in-Education implementation which aims to give one laptop to every Kenyan child entering primary education. Focus is held through two key questions, (1) How e-ready are Kenyan schools for the Laptop Project? and (2) What role has governance played in this? Research

This study examined grammatical features of written Swedish-English code-swtching found in two Swedish web discussion forums. More specifically, this study sought to show that the so-called insertion patter, as defined by Muysken (2000), is the the predominant patter of code-switching found in these two forums. In order to determine the dominant pattern of code-switching found in the two forums, I
BACKGROUND: Suicide is a major global health problem, especially among youth. Suicide is known to be associated with a variety of social, economic, political and religious factors, vary across geographical and cultural regions. The current study aimed to investigate the effects of socioeconomic factors on suicide mortality rate across different regions in Iran.METHODS: The data on distribution of
Although neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been highlighted in several systemic inflammatory diseases, their clinical correlates and potential pathological role remain obscure. Herein, we describe a dramatic onset of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with clear-cut pathogenic implications for neutrophils and NET formation in a young woman with cardiac (Libman–Sacks endocarditis) and cent
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation can be curative in patients with hematological malignancies but carries a significant risk of graft-versus-host disease (GvHD). There are no standard treatments for steroid-refractory (SR) gastrointestinal (GI) acute GvHD (aGvHD). This multicenter, international, retrospective medical record review aimed to evaluate the off-label use of vedolizumab, a
Micro credit has become a popular tool in the fight against poverty. All over the world, economists and practitioners have adopted the topicality. At the same time, an increased awareness of the situation of women is noticeable. In particular, marginalized women are discussed since they face poverty, illiteracy, low caste/casteless and gender gap. In the Indian South-eastern state of Tamil Nadu,
ABSTRACT Scopo e quadro generale: Nella presente tesi viene investigata la situazione sociolinguistica del dialetto veneziano, tramite un questionario rivolto a giovani veneziani tra i 14 ed i 25 anni.

Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Floden Rio Sucio rinner genom staden Santo Domingo, ett litet samhälle beläget i centrala Nicaragua, ca 5 timmars bilresa från huvudstaden Managua. Rio Sucio betyder smutsig flod på Spanska. Floden har fått sitt namn dels för att den innehåller en stor mängd sediment, vilket gett den en brunaktig färg, och dels för att den innehåller stora mängder tungmetaller, The central mountainous region of Nicaragua is an area subjected to heavy environmental pressure due to anthropogenic activities. For over a hundred years mercury has been used in gold mining activities in this area causing pollution of water resources. The lack of infrastructure in this region has made investigations regarding water quality and availability scarce. This work is focused around the
Background: Patients with diabetes admitted to emergency care face a higher risk of complications, including prolonged hospital stays, admissions to the intensive care unit and mortality. Aim: To develop a machine learning (ML) model to predict 30-day mortality in patients with diabetes admitted to the emergency department (ED). Design and setting: A cohort study utilizing data from all nine ED’s
This review synthesises current evidence on the clinical utility of foam-based posturography in the assessment of vestibular pathologies. It critically evaluates: (1) the physiological mechanisms underlying foam posturography and its capacity to determine vestibular contributions; (2) methodological variability across testing protocols, including differences in foam properties, stance conditions a

Obesity levels in developing countries are increasing at an alarming rate, while “old” problems such as hunger and undernutrition still persist, creating a paradoxical situation of a double burden of malnutrition. Intertwined with new sustainability challenges such as climate change and land degradation, food, health and sustainability are interconnected in a complex web of relationships, spanning
One of the most comprehensive measures of mindfulness is the Five Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) with five factors—Observing, Describing, Acting with awareness, Non-judging, and Non-reactivity. Hierarchical confirmatory factor analyses, however, have suggested that only four of the FFMQ factors (i.e. all except Observing) were components of “an overall mindfulness construct”—which is puzzl
Evidence from wildlife and human populations indicates that conditions during early development can have marked effects on the subsequent performance of individuals and cohorts. Likewise, the effects of maternal and, more generally, parental environments can be transferred among individuals between generations. These delayed life-history effects are found consistently and suggestions have been mad
