The present study addresses the relationship between stunting and open defecation in India, 2015. The lack of proper sanitation allows pathogens to spread and generate fecal transmissible illnesses (FTIs), hence hampering the correct absorption of nutrients in the body and the consequent child’s development. The expectation is that a higher open defecation rate is associated with a higher stunting

With the development of the global economy in the 21st century, enterprise risk management (ERM) has been more impactfully implemented by firms. Academics have studied the relationship between ERM and firms’ performance, yet few studies have covered the relationship between ERM and default risk, let alone the comparison study between banks in China and banks in Nordic countries, the two important

Katalysator – något som får en reaktion att underlättas eller påskyndas. Kanske inte ett ord som används i allas vardag men det är något som det moderna samhället och många av de produkter du använder dagligen inte hade klarat sig utan. Kemikalier, mediciner och andra nödvändiga produkter som förr kunde ha långdragna, farliga och ineffektiva tillverkningsprocesser kan nu tillverkas säkrare och snaCatalysis is an essential tool in industry, and the developments in catalysis research during the last decades have led to higher efficiency in many important processes. CO oxidation is a common reaction to use in catalysis research both due to its applications in industry but also since it is a simple reaction where the knowledge gained about its reaction mechanism can be applied to important but

This thesis aims to explore how specific digital field recording methods impact archaeological interpretation based on the case studies presented. Individual find recording, a more specialized digital point proveniencing system, was used in both case studies. The original excavation interpretations are compared against new interpretations based on the reconstructed excavation unit style recording

I den här uppsatsen kartläggs utgivningen av ungdomslitteratur i Sverige under åren 2013 till och med 2017. Detta görs genom en kategorisering av de utgivna titlarna, som är hämtade från bibliotekskatalogen ELSA, utefter genre, kön på protagonist och kön på författare. Även ämnesorden som tillhör titlarna är räknade. Vidare analyseras materialet utifrån genusteorier om läsning och ett litteraturso

Globally, 500 million smallholder farmers require finance to secure a more productive, efficient, sustainable, and inclusive food system. Thus far, traditional financial services have been unsuccessful in reaching these farmers. Yet, mobile money services are proposed as a potential tool for enabling smallholder farmers access to financial services. Nonetheless, this proposed impact of mobile mone

Låg tillgänglighet till elektricitet är ett stort problem i Kenya, framförallt på landsbygden, och det förväntas fortfarande dröja flera decennier innan elnätet har nått ut till alla delar av landet. Detta innebar att det finns ett stort behov av andra lösningar som kan förse dessa områden med elektricitet. En av dessa lösningar är Solar-Home-System (SHS), ett system som kan ge elektricitet till lA problem in Kenya is the lack of access to electricity, mainly in rural areas. It will take many decades for the main grid to reach all rural areas wherefore several off-grid electrification options have been put forward to solve this issue. One of them is the Solar Home System (SHS), which is an off-grid solar product that can be used for applications such as lamps, radios, TVs and charging mobi

Exploring the City of Copenhagen’s LGBTI+ policy, the aim of the thesis is to analyse problems involved in implementing policies within the field of identity politics.

Porous carbon obtained from low cost and abundant biomass has gained attention as renewable material feedstock. In this study, porous carbon biochar produced through pyrolysis was investigated by Raman spectroscopy to disclose the structural properties. The measured samples were in form of pellets (identified as WP, 139, 233, 226), and lumber wood (Pine, a softwood type and Beech, a hardwood type)

Latin American countries are among the happiest countries world-wide despite suffering from vast economic inequality at the same time.

Detta examensarbete undersöker möjligheterna att implementera magneter för flera funktioner i en så kallad ”knob”. Projektet utfördes i samarbete med Sigma Connectivity. Under ett tidigare projekt på Sigma Connectivity uppstod ett intresse för att använda magneter i en av deras produkter. Denna produkt används för att välja alternativ genom att rotera en yttre part eller trycka på knappar på toppThis master thesis investigates the possibilities of implementing magnets for several functions in a knob. The project was carried out in collaboration with Sigma Connectivity. During a previous project at Sigma Connectivity, there occurred an interest in using mag-nets in a product called ”the knob”. This product is used to select options by swiveling an outer part or pushing buttons at the top.
