Full textAbstract:
The two most visible representations of Afghanistan are arguably Steve McCurry’s ‘Afghan Girl’ on the cover of National Geographic (June 1985) and Khaled Hosseini’s award-wining novel 'The Kite Runner' (2004). These two products laid the basic premise that images and ideas about Afghanistan have been circulated and commodified worldwide, especially qualities of the exotic, oppressed, and weak. Since print photography and literary works belong to the culture industry, this research seeks to enquire if performing arts, more specifically theatre, projected Afghanistan in similar ways. More precisely, this research asks how Afghan cultures and identities have been represented in the post-9/11 period. Borrowing the circuit of culture model (1997) from Stuart Hall and Paul du Gay, this research then examines ten specific theatre performances within Afghanistan and outside Afghanistan in a spatio-temporal framework illustrating dynamic tensions from, and beyond, Kabul. Case studies from Kabul illustrate that Afghan cultures can be owned and regulated by competing stakeholders, including the Taliban, within its geopolitical boundaries. Case studies from/beyond Kabul show the export of Afghan cultures and performances outside Afghanistan, underscoring tropes of impoverishment and suffering while inviting or inciting international interventions and conciliations. Case studies beyond Kabul tend to imagine ‘Afghanistan’ by offering an ambivalent, and sometimes, contradictory response to the war on terror. This thesis argues that projective closure – the act of filling in absences and gaps to make sense of an Afghan narrative – often circulates and entrenches Afghans in victimhood tropes. Because there are constant fluctuations and contestations at what ‘Afghanistan’ was, is, and should be, Afghanistan as an imagined entity – or a global cultural commodity – becomes more evident. Derek Gregory was right to observe in 'The Colonial Present' (2004) that Afghanistan has been an object of international geopolitical manoeuvrings since the nineteenth century, and, as this thesis will show, even early twenty-first century. But the claw of the “colonial present” does not stem from hostilities enacted by imperial power, but a series of intimate engagements with non-government organisations, government agencies, embassies, foreign theatre directors, and even global audiences who uncritically celebrate narratives of Afghan heroism. This is further complicated by the readiness of local Afghan practitioners to consume and project themselves as victims of war who are in ‘need’ of foreign help. As such, the value that is being demanded and supplied in the global culture industry is still victimhood. Afghan cultures and identities are deeply embedded in contexts – situational, cultural, global – and unless these contexts are collocated and layered upon each other to add nuance to interrogate cultural practices, cultural workers and theatre practitioners continue to run the risks of reproducing conflicts, even if they are beyond the geographical space of Kabul – because the locations of the ‘local’ and ‘global’ are becoming increasingly intertwined.

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2012.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 114-116).
This thesis is an exploration of children's educational interactions with their landscape in Kabul, Afghanistan, and the ways in which landscape, as an important contributor to human development, can be integrated as a topic and as the setting of learning, into the early childhood curriculum in a meaningful and contextually appropriate way. The spaces of learning have increasingly become important components of engagement in education research - the concept of ''environment as teacher" is incorporated into this research study as a critical component of learning. This thesis has explored teacher willingness to participate in integrating landscape into the early childhood curriculum in their school, the Sparks Academy in Kabul, Afghanistan. The concept of landscape was approached both as the space of learning as well as a topic of study. It takes an approach to learning that moves beyond access and into the content and pedagogical style of teaching. This research concludes that Sparks is currently a community of enthusiastic teachers who wish to engage students in their learning in meaningful ways. There is a potential to build on current practices and turn current practice into an even more meaningful learning experience for young children in Kabul, Afghanistan. In particular, it extends the meaning of the Bagh-e-Babur from a space of cultural engagement, to a place of significant learning for Kabul's young.

Arnold, Rachel E. "Afghan women and the culture of care in a Kabul maternity hospital." Thesis, Bournemouth University, 2015. http://eprints.bournemouth.ac.uk/24519/.
Full textAbstract:
Female Afghan healthcare providers are vital to reduce the number of women dying in labour. Since 2001 the numbers of female providers have been substantially increased. Ensuring quality care for women in childbirth, however, remains a more elusive goal. The aim of this qualitative ethnographic study was to analyse the culture of care of a Kabul maternity hospital and explore the barriers and facilitators to quality care. My particular focus was the experiences, thoughts, feelings, and values of the doctors, midwives and care assistants. Six weeks of participant observation, 23 semi-structured interviews with hospital staff, 41 background interviews and 2 focus group discussions with women in the community, between 2010 and 2012, were used to gather diverse perspectives on childbirth and care in Kabul maternity hospitals. A thematic approach was used to analyse the data. Five themes were identified: the culture of care; motivation; fear, power and vulnerability; challenges of care; family and social influences. Three themes are explored in depth in this thesis. They are discussed in the following order: the culture of care, challenges of care, and fear, power and vulnerability. The influence of family and social norms on healthcare providers was integral to understanding hospital life; it therefore contributes to each chapter. Women in childbirth laboured alone with minimal monitoring, kindness or support. For staff, the high workload was physically and emotionally demanding, resident doctors struggled to acquire clinical skills, midwives were discouraged from using their skills. Family expectations and social pressures influenced staff priorities. A climate of fear, vulnerability and horizontal violence fractured staff relationships. ‘Powerful’ hospital staff determined the behavioural agenda. This study offers multiple insights into healthcare provider behaviour. It reveals complex interrelated issues that affect care in this Afghan setting but its relevance is far broader. It is one of few international studies that explore care from the perspective of healthcare providers in their cultural and social environment. It reveals that understanding the context of healthcare is pivotal to understanding behaviour and the underlying obstacles to quality care. Furthermore, it challenges conventional assumptions about individual staff agency, motivation, and common strategies to improve the quality of care.

Full textAbstract:
Second languages which are also called foreign languages are learnt beside native spoken languages and they are learnt in a systematic way (Hinkel, 2005). Spanish and English are widely spoken around the globe and they have improved a lot in Afghanistan, especially SPanish after Spanish military existence in teh country as part of ISAF after 2001 to Afghanistan and after the establishment of some private schools where Spanish is a part of curriculum. This school was built due to the interest of Spanish embassy. As the embassy got informed that there is the Spanish department, they immidiately got interested and wanted to establish a school in Afghanistan too where Spanish will be taught as one subject in this only one school in Kabul city. Since, there are mostly non-native speaking teachers with different teaching approaches in Kabul University; the researcher therefore, conducted this study to compares English and Spanish language teachers in the university and a private school. Moreover, students’ perceptions as regards learning a second language are explored as well as their experience and motives. Data for this research is collected with the help of ready-made questionnaire which was distributed to 20 English teachers, seven Spanish teachers at the university, five teachers of Kabul international school, 50 students of Spanish department and 50 students of Kabul international school. In addition to this, five classes were observed in university and five in private school, which helped the comparison of teachers’ perceptions and factual teaching performance in the class. It was found that there are both similarities and differences among teachers of English and Spanish teachers when teaching these foreign languages. In schools these languages are taught superficially and teachers lack professional knowledge while in the university vice versa. This research also found that nearly all the staff and students in Spanish department are grown up in urban areas and none of the students while only three out of 12 Spanish teachers have visited Spain. Half of the students in school were concerned about the impact of Spanish on Afghan society while students in the university and Spanish teachers had the counter idea. Moreover, it was found that in university students were given articles, assignments and topics from magazines and newspapers apart from daily lessons for the intention that students strengthen their Spanish language while this practice was hardly visible in school classrooms. In school Spanish language was taught on lecture based where students rarely found any chance for practice of the language and most of the time was allocated for the translation of Spanish.TEMP Afganistan

Full textAbstract:
Computer architecture and assembly language programming microprocessor execution are basic courses taught in every computer science department. Generally, however, students have
difficulties in mastering many of the concepts in the courses, particularly students whose first language is not English. In addition to their difficulties in understanding the purpose of given
instructions, students struggle to mentally visualize the data movement, control and processing operations. To address this problem, this research proposed a graphical visualization approach
and investigated the visual illustrations of such concepts and instruction execution by implementing a graphical visualization simulator as a teaching aid. The graphical simulator developed during the course of this research was applied in a computer architecture course at Kabul University, Afghanistan. Results obtained from student evaluation of the simulator show significant
levels of success using the visual simulation teaching aid. The results showed that improved learning was achieved, suggesting that this approach could be useful in other computer science departments in Afghanistan, and elsewhere where similar challenges are experienced.

Full textAbstract:
Afghanistan is one of those countries where the education system is influenced by traditional system where the teachers has a central position while students is passive and do not have chance to express their opinions. However, active learning is essential need for educational context of Afghanistan. So, the aim of the study is to explore some teachers’ perspectives and practices in relation to active learning and identify some of the main challenges of this approach in Afghan schools.This study has been based on quantitative approaches with 100 male and female teachers in Kabul schools which included the questionnaires from 100 teachers and structure observation of 10 different subject teachers. The findings show that although the National Education Strategy Plan (NESP) and Curriculum Framework (CF) of Afghanistan suggest the active learning/student-centred approach but teachers mostly use the traditional lecture methods. It means that the implementation of active learning in various stages of teaching process at Kabul schools is low. As well as, the use of active learning such as group work, pair work and open questions are not mostly considered during teaching processes. Because of some main obstacles such as: lack of classroom space, large number of students in classrooms, shortage of time, the amount of content that needs to be covered, and lack of materials. At all, the viewpoints of teachers were in support of using active learning approach in the teaching-learning process but observation shows that the majority of instructors focus on lecturer-centred method because of some main obstacles which are mentioned before.

Using the case of Kabul, the thesis examines land readjustment in challenging contexts with complicated land ownership, non-existent legal support, weak government capacity and unstable security conditions. By developing the theory and concept of Customised Land Readjustment, the research highlights how sustainable development can be facilitated through better management, financial, legal and technical strategies which ensure land tenure security and provision of required infrastructure. This supports improved quality of life while maintaining communities’ spatial integrity.

Full textAbstract:
The last decade has witnessed a substantial increase in the use of military airpower for peace enforcement. Coalition airstrikes in the 1991 Gulf War, the use of NATO airpower against Bosnian-Serbs in 1995 and Yugoslavia in 1999, and the use on US-led airpower in the recent conflict in Afghanistan, are all examples of this trend.The use of airpower presents important implications for the laws of armed conflict while having consequences for the internationally-sanctioned delivery of humanitarian relief to war victims. Has the use of airpower increasingly limited civilian casualties since the Gulf War? Are humanitarian operations possible doting coalition air campaigns?
While centered on Protocol I of the Geneva Conventions and the work of the International Committee of the Red Cross, this thesis will identify and examine legal gaps and humanitarian tensions. An evaluation will be conducted of the behavior and results of coalition airpower and of relief agency access.

Full textAbstract:
The dissertation focuses on the emergence and evolution of the state of Afghanistan at the beginning of the nineteenth century and its relations with neighbouring powers. Its central thesis argues the area now known as Afghanistan was previously integrated into regional political, cultural and trade patterns. The dissolution of the neighbouring Mughal and Safavid Empires, combined with the expansion of European empires in the area, set in motion the disintegration of these patterns. As the successor states of eighteenth century South Asia gave way to the power of the East India Company, a newly-independent Afghan polity found itself faced with an alien type of government. During the first half o the nineteenth century, the Company attempted to co-opt the Afghan polity into the British imperial system as a buffer state protecting the Indian frontier. The failure of this attempt, culminating in their defeat in the First Afghan War, prompted the British to change tack abruptly. The Afghan’s unwillingness to partake in the designs of the British Empire led the Company to follow a policy of containment, designed to isolate and exclude the perceived chaos of Afghanistan on the far side of the Khyber Pass. The Company’s containment strategy ultimately maginalized Afghanistan not only from the British imperial system, but the larger global network of trade and political intercourse based on that system. The study of the emergence of the Afghan state is therefore a study of its exclusion from the new patterns of global intercourse into which it had previously been integrated. This experience of exclusion was not unique to Afghanistan. Rather, Afghanistan’s ‘failed’ colonial encounter serves as a case study informing other areas which later faced similar experiences. As such, it addresses the larger regional history and the broader forces constructing the international order during this period. Finally, the difficulties faced by the Afghan political community in constructing a ‘modern’ state were offset by the continued vibrancy of alternative social formations on the periphery of an increasingly Eurocentric world. These formations offered another space for the construction of political identity which at times threatened, at times buttressed that of the state.

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2012.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 102-104).
This thesis will review how public spaces in Kabul, Afghanistan will be affected by plans for development and formalization under proposed city plans. The core argument is that these processes of development under guises of modernity, combined with the inconsistencies of land rights and a vast informal population within the city of Kabul are challenging the existence of these valuable public spaces. The existence of these spaces are of significant importance as they are places in which residents of Kabul from a myriad of ethnic backgrounds and income levels interact, indicating that they have broader social implications than just physical space. The vision of Kabul as a failed city is one that perpetuates its marginalization and the exploitation of the majority of its informal population. In turn, the lack of publicly available salient data contributes to the misconceptions of the city. The West propagates these struggles as it allows itself to define its own superiority in the subaltern nature of the Other. Kabul Jadid, the plan for urban development in Kabul commissioned by King Amanullah Khan in 1923, followed by the Three Master Plans for Kabul made in the 1960s-1970s are examined in relation to its trajectory for how modernity was imagined for Kabul. While this developed the lens under which this paper was written, several interviews were conducted with a number of demographically varied Afghans from both in and out of Afghanistan. From these interviews, the three most frequented spaces in the city of Kabul emerged: Shahri Now, Mandawi, and Mikrorayon 3. Current and potentially future urban development in Kabul threatens these three spaces. The potential eradication or exclusive nature of these spaces also pose a number of planning challenges concerning informality and land rights, the concept of unmapping people, and the involvement of the community in the process of planning the city. However, there are a number of physical interventions that can be strategized in order to protect these spaces. The questions this thesis will seek to answer are: How are plans for development and formalization under guises of modernity in the Third Master Plan challenging the existence of valuable public spaces in Kabul, Afghanistan? How can what Kabulis identify as valuable public spaces for gathering be used to strategize preservation of these space under the Third Master Plan and future plans?

Full textAbstract:
Within the framework of urban communication, this thesis attempts to "read" the urban space of West Kabul in Afghanistan, as a social and cultural text in order to understand the social exclusion of the Hazara people, a socially and politically disenfranchised ethnic group who predominantly inhabit that area. Based on data gathered through documentary research and non-participant field observations, this thesis argues that the urban space of West Kabul is the spatial manifestation of a systematic exclusionary process, through which, the Hazara people have been deprived from access to political, economic and cultural resources, services and opportunities. It interprets the city planning, distribution of resources, urbicide, streetscape, architecture and the body as the main sites where the social exclusion of the Hazaras in West Kabul is exercised. This study also provides a discussion about the historical evolution of West Kabul as an ethnic ghetto, as well as the various forms of conflict which led to spatial and social division in Kabul city.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to explore similarities and differences between private and public schools in Kabul city. Data was collected using questioner and structured interviews. Principals, teachers, parents and students of grade six were the participants of the research. This research focuses on: Curricula, textbooks, and media of instruction, teachers’ education and experiences as well as student’s gender, socio-economic background and distribution within the two types of schools. Advantages of private schools over public schools were also studied from the perspective of teachers, students and parents. During this research, some important points of similarities and differences were found, such as discipline, daily study time in schools, parental involvement, completion of syllabi, students’ parents’ socio-economic background, and teachers’ views on the growth of private schools, etc. It was found that classroom facilities, parental involvement, completion of syllabi are better in private schools than public schools. In private schools, additional textbooks on science, computer and English language are taught. In public schools, on the other hand, due to the short time of study, students are unable to finish all subjects in the respective academic year. While both of the school types follow ministry of education defined curriculum. There is a mix approach towards both the school types by the middle class members of the society. Meanwhile Private schools may be exploiting their teachers for giving them lesser salaries as compared to the teachers of the public schools. Private school teachers are paid less salary than the business value a private school may have; despite the fact that they teach for longer hours during the day. As Afghanistan is already suffering from difference of opinions on national and international issues because of the different curriculums taught in different schools by different organizations during the war. Some of the differences found in this research as well are of significance and may lead to the graduation of students with additional advantages of stronger English and IT skills. This could disadvantage the public school students.

Lately, research has shown that learning and teaching are causally tightly bound activities. Understanding the learning process help teachers to know about the preferences of their students. Meanwhile, this understanding can contribute in effective learning performance if it is accommodated in teaching process. In order to find out perception of Afghan teachers in this regard, this study was conducted. 58 lecturers/teachers from two teacher training institutions – Kabul Education University (KEU) and Sayed Jamaluddin Teacher Training College (SJTTC) were participant of the study. Data was collected through self-responsive questionnaires and the findings of study indicates that learning process and styles, as well as teaching in accordance to learning process are important issues for teachers at these two institutions. Findings also suggest that teachers are aware about concept of learning styles. Besides that, attempts are made to address learning styles in teaching process through use of different teaching materials and methods. Knowledge of the important and necessary educational concepts such as, learning styles in teacher training institutions (KEU & SJTTC) can equip future teachers of community with better skills and attitudes that can make student-teacher interactions more sufficient.TEMP

Full textAbstract:
L'Afghanistan est un pays semi-aride et montagneux qui a fait face à trois décennies de conflit. C'est l'un des pays les plus vulnérables au changement climatique car il a une capacité très limitée à faire face aux impacts du changement climatique. Il a également été considéré comme une région qui manque de données à la fois temporellement et spatialement avec une capacité limitée à mesurer les paramètres hydrométéorologiques avec des jauges in situ. L'étude actuelle se concentre sur le bassin de Kaboul qui se trouve dans le quart nord-est de l'Afghanistan. Il représente trente-cinq pour cent de l'approvisionnement en eau de la population et a le taux de croissance de la population le plus rapide du pays. L'objectif principal de cette étude est de comprendre les impacts du changement climatique sur les ressources en eau et l'agriculture. Pour comprendre l'impact sur les ressources en eau, l'évaluation des performances des ensembles de données mondiales / produits télédétectés est étudiée afin de générer des ensembles de données sur les précipitations et la température pour la période de référence des études sur les changements climatiques et le développement du modèle hydrologique. Ensuite, un modèle hydrologique est sélectionné pour comprendre la réponse hydrologique du bassin de Kaboul et les projections futures de la disponibilité de l'eau en utilisant les projections climatiques futures. Pour comprendre l'impact sur l'agriculture, une étude sur la perception des agriculteurs sur le changement climatique et ses impacts sur leur agriculture est entreprise. Deuxièmement, un modèle de culture est utilisé pour évaluer les impacts du changement climatique sur le rendement du bléAfghanistan is a semi-arid and mountainous country which faced three decades of conflict. It is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change as it has very limited capacity to address the impacts of climate change. It has been also considered as a data-scarce region both temporally and spatially with limited capability to measure hydro-meteorological parameters with in situ gauges. The current study focuses on Kabul basin which lies in the northeast quarter of Afghanistan. It accounts for thirty-five percent of the population’s water supply, and has the fastest population growth rate in the country. The main objective of this study is to understand the impacts of climate change on water resources and agriculture. To understand the impact on water resource, first of all, the performance evaluation of global datasets/remote sensed products is investigated in order to generate precipitation and temperature datasets for baseline period of climate change studies and developing hydrological model. Then a hydrological model is selected to understand hydrologic response of the Kabul basin and future projections of water availability using future climate projections. To understand the impact on agriculture, a study on farmers’ perception about climate change and its impacts on their agriculture is undertaken. Secondly, a crop model is used to evaluate the impacts of climate change on wheat yield

Hadi, Manizha. "An analysis of policy and social factors impacting the uptake of sexual and reproductive health services in Kabul, Afghanistan." Thesis, Durham University, 2016. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/11862/.
Full textAbstract:
Research Question: What factors at individual, health service provision and system levels are influencing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) service uptake? Rationale: In many Afghan ethnic groups, girls and women face heavier risks of disease and infection than men. Their diminished economic and social status compromises their ability to select healthier life strategies and access to sexual reproductive health (SRH) services. The Afghan government estimates a high maternal mortality ratio (327/100,000 live births) in Afghanistan. However, due to inadequate reliability of data, the true maternal mortality and morbidity ratio remain unknown. A deeper understanding of the policy and social factors that impact on poor SRH service uptake would help the development of applicable and successful SRH Policy and frame applicable and appropriate approaches for sustainable SRH service uptake in Afghanistan. Method: It is a qualitative policy analysis using the ‘Broader Framework of Thinking’ by Walt and Gilson (1994) and a variety of data collection methods. Data was collected from 450 participants (Patients 223, Family members 72, Health service providers 63, Governmental staff 31, Coordinating organisation staff 17, Religious leaders 11, Health-promoters 13, Psychosocial counsellors 20) by conducting interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, life narratives, document reviews and an audit of medical records. Findings: My results show the key factors underlying women’s poor health were a lack of knowledge about SRH, poor communication, and a lack of honour and trust both between individuals and within the health system. In addition, research findings highlighted that depression, multi-pregnancies, childbirth complications, anemia, malnutrition, sexually transmitted infections and interpersonal violence were routine for women. It clearly shows gaps within SRH Policy design and implementation and health service provision. These gaps are associated with social factors, which negatively impact on access and utilisation of proper SRH services Conclusions and Recommendations: This research analysed national reproductive health Policy (NRHP) and explored the impact of multifaceted social factors on SRH service uptake.

Full textAbstract:
Afghan languages are, influenced by Arabic in the field of academic terms. Also, several Arabic words need to be learnt for daily conversation in Afghanistan. This study is about students and teachers’ views about learning and teaching Arabic and Dari as two second languages in the areas of Kabul where the residents’ native language as well as the language of instruction is Pashto. The aim of the study is to explore similarities and differences between teaching and learning Arabic and Dari in secondary schools of Kabul. The data for this quantitative study was collected from 9 schools in the eastern part of Kabul, Information was gathered through separate questionnaires for teachers and students as well as textbook analysis. The schools were selected via purposive sampling. A total of 60 students and 50 teachers (25 Dari and 25 Arabic) participated in this study. The main findings of the study included that all students are interested in learning both Arabic and Dari for various reasons. However, learning language helps students to understand the context of the textbooks and get knowledge about this is true about learning Arabic as it is a foreign language too. While teaching the languages, teachers only help students improve listening and reading skills as the teachers do most of the talking in class only sometime ask the students to repeat the lesson from textbook. The remaining two important skills i.e. writing and speaking are widely ignored because the teachers ask the students to do the writing at home and provide little time for verbal conversations inside class due to limited time. Likewise, the teachers thought it is important to focus on developing reading skills among students and very little or no attention is given to improving writing skills. In addition, memorization and recalling of information when required is the dominant feature of teaching in the schools I studied in this study. Arabic and Dari languages have lot of similarities, from having same alphabets to lot of common words. In my study most of students’ were interested to learn both Dari and Arabic, but the obstacle they faced during learning Arabic was, that there was not enough qualified Arabic language teachers but number of qualified teachers in Dari language was a lot and that made learning Dari easier for students who were interested. Generally, the results of this research confirm many previous results. However, a lot need to be done by teachers, school management and education authorities to improve the learning and teaching situations.TEMP

Full textAbstract:
Even today, teachers’ questioning is one of the most frequently used teaching strategies. It affects the students’ learning in various ways and may lead to development of productive and critical thinking among students. This study aims to identify the type of questions used by teachers and the kind of feedback provided to students in classroom at primary schools. The study was conducted in grade 4, 5 and 6 (30 classes in total) of ten schools in Kabul city. The schools were selected through random sampling and the data was collected via structured observation schedule. The data analysis was based on the frequency and percentage of the responses from the observation schedule. The main findings of the study are: i) most of the teachers use questioning as a teaching technique but many teachers spend little time on asking and answering questions compared to what previous researches suggest i.e. that teachers spent more than half of class time on questioning; ii) majority of the teachers frequently ask closed questions or questions that require Yes/No answers, one word response and/or answers that rely on memory; iii) the frequency of providing information about how to improve student’s response has been rather low. Overall, the results of the study confirm the findings of former research.TEMP

Full textAbstract:
Humans live in an era where technology is spilling over exponentially across the globe and considers a vital feature for fostering an inclusive digital economy. This study explores and examines the potential of Information and Communication Technology services (ICTs) usage in the development of entrepreneur small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) in Kabul, Afghanistan. This is a relevant area of study given the need to understand better the role of ICTs in SMEs in developing countries and promote and achieve an inclusive digital economy. The discussion and research on ICT usage in developing countries have contributed to understanding entrepreneurship's nature in the digital era. However, the discussion is rolling over the perception of ICT usage on an entrepreneur's small and medium scale enterprises' productivity. Some scholars focus on the impact of ICTs on the digitalization of businesses' economic development, while other scholars have questioned their potential for economic development. In the case of Afghanistan, despite the recent development in ICTs, there is a scarcity of information on the relationship between ICT and SMEs entrepreneur’s productivity. Given the rapid adoption of ICTs in Afghanistan during the last 20 years, and absence of information on ICTs in SMEs, it represents a very interesting case that has yet to be studied. This study's methodology followed a qualitative abductive case study and used semi-structured interviews as primary data and existing literature as a secondary source. This study developed the theoretical framework based on Activity Theory to analyze the collected data and present findings. The findings show that ICT contributes to time efficiency, facilitate cheaper communication, reduce the cost of business, facilitate access to information, and increase competitions. The data analysis found that although ICTs have contributed positively to entrepreneurs' productivity, they are strongly influenced by society's norms and institutions, limiting their potential impact.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis discusses Åsne Seierstad’s international literary bestseller The Bookseller of Kabul (2002) and the controversy it created between the Norwegian author and the Afghan family presented in the book. Rather than asking what a book is, this research asks what a book does. It investigates the mechanisms through which a book like The Bookseller of Kabul can produce consequences in the contemporary world. In order to approach these productive abilities of books, the thesis develops an extended notion of the book as a relational and processual set of entities. Consequently, the thesis calls for research, which would take into account the complex relations between what we read and how we are able to read it. Methodologically, the emphasis is on material culture, the social life of the book and the actor-networks the book created as a global commodity. The thesis investigates how different actors and materialities collectively created the book and its consequences. Consequently, it discusses the relations a contemporary literary object needs and builds to other forms of media, to different materialities, to readers and to discourses in order to generate power effects. Because books are highly diffusible objects and enjoy a freedom and a status unthinkable for many other commodities, interventions against a literary bestseller are difficult if not impossible to carry forward. As a consequence, a book like The Bookseller of Kabul can play an unacknowledged role at the times when Western countries are involved in a war in Afghanistan.

This thesis assesses concepts of architectural education both globally and regionally but ultimately presents a pedagogy aimed at the special needs of Afghan architectural education that will serve the needs of Afghan society. It is the author’s hope that this thesis may aptly establish the first steps for a renewed architectural education at Kabul University, Kabul, Afghanistan. The essence of this thesis presents a carefully reasoned and detailed educational strategy for teaching beginning architectural design. The new curriculum in the Department of Architecture at Kabul University requires new syllabi to achieve higher academic standards. The new design course syllabus should address the existing problems of Afghan society. This thesis begins by understanding the context and the current problems confronting the Kabul University Department of Architecture. It is by understanding these problems that I can begin to identify a solution. Understanding the Kabul Municipality rules and regulations, familiarity with beginning design terminology, a carefully stated and sequenced course description promoting gradual student improvement, understanding interrelationships between the interior spaces, environmental sustainable design, and finally introducing a new generation of conscientious architects to Afghan society are some of the main objectives for designing this course. Identifying the best strategy for teaching this course was a primary research question. Christopher Alexander’s great work, A Pattern Language inspired me to select it as the best methodology for my research. My early research focused upon the creation of a new syllabus for the first semester of architectural design at Kabul University. This new syllabus was launched during the first semester of 2009 in Kabul where I taught the new course alongside a junior Afghan faculty member. Establishing the new course materials for the first semester set the stage for my primary focus of this thesis. That is the creation of the second semester architectural design course using pattern language as my pedagogical framework. This pedagogy is fundamental for establishing architectural studies focused upon meaningful new academic criteria. The ultimate aim of my thesis is to lay the foundation stone for the reincarnation of Afghan architectural identity.

apoio ao desenvolvimento operacional da Divisão afegã, para a segurança da província de Kabul foi positivo, diminuindo o número de ataques e incidentes inimigos em 47%. Por outro lado, na transição da International Security Assistance Force fez aumentar o nível de transição das unidades afegãs, ocorrendo a transição de força. Verificou-se também que a mentoria portuguesa desempenhou um papel importante no caminho para a paz afegã, onde
contribuiu diretamente para a transição da responsabilidade na segurança para a Kabul Capital Division 111 e num âmbito indireto aumentou o nível de segurança regional.Abstract The study of the conflict in Afghanistan has in itself a mass of problems. It is on the issue of supporting the development of the Afghanistan National Army, a major part of the strategy of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, which concerns this Academic Student Research Work “Mentoring as a vehicle for building peace in Afghanistan: The Case Study of Portuguese OMLT-D”. This study investigates the importance of supporting the development of Kabul Capital Division 111 developed by the Operational Mentor and Liaison Teams Division and aims to identify the role of these for the regional security in Afghanistan and the ongoing strategy of transition from International Security Assistance Force, to Afghan security. The inherent problem was studied through the question “What is the role of the Operational Mentor and Liaison Teams Division in supporting the development of operational Kabul Capital Division 111, for regional security and the transition of the International Security Assistance Force?”, Which refers to the mentoring carried out by the Portuguese armed forces between March 2009 and May 2012. To answer the questions identified, this study used a methodological approach hypothetical-deductive method case study. The techniques of collecting data were from semidiretive interviews and existing data documents, it also uses the techniques of data analysis of Delphi and inductive statistical decision methods. It concludes that the role of the Operational Mentor and Liaison Teams Division in supporting the development of operational Division Afghan security in the province of Kabul is positive, it has decreased the number of enemy initiated attacks by 47%. On the other hand, the transition from International Security Assistance Force has increased the level of transition of Afghan units. The Portuguese mentoring plays an important role on the path to Afghan peace, which directly contributes to the transition of responsibility for the Kabul Capital Division 111 and in part indirectly increases the level of regional security.

Thesis, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (University of London), 2011. http://researchonline.lshtm.ac.uk/682431/.
Full textAbstract:
Afghanistan has one of the highest infant mortalities in the world, and pneumonia is one of the main killers. Moreover, Dietary intake of vitamin D is low and exposure to sunlight is limited due to widespread use of Burqa by women. Two studies in Ethiopia and India suggest that vitamin D deficiency may substantially increase the risk of severe pneumonia among children under-5. Thus a randomized controlled trial was conducted to assess effects ofvitamin Don the incidence of pneumonia. The study was conducted on 3046 children aged 1-11 months (approximately 1500 per arm), in Kabul, Afghanistan. Intervention group was given quarterly 100.000 IU vitamin D (6 doses in total), and control arm received placebo (olive oil). Active and passive surveillance of pneumonia was done for 18 months. Time to the first episode in the Vitamin D group was compared to that in the placebo group using log rank tests and proportional hazards models. The incidence rate ratio for the episodes of pneumonia was calculated using Cox proportional hazard models. Vitamin D had no effect on the incidence of first or only episode of x-ray confirmed pneumonia (RR= 1.06, 95% CI: 0.89- 1.27; p=0.47). The incidence of repeat episodes of xray confirmed pneumonia was higher in the vitamin D group (RR=1.68; 95% CI: 1.28 - 2.21; p <0.00 1 ). Infants 6-12 months old had a higher incidence of pneumonia compared to those <6 months old (RR=2.01; 95% CI: 1.12- 3.63). Children of fathers without any formal education had a higher incidence of repeat episodes of pneumonia compared to children of fathers having any formal education (RR=1.67, 95% CI: 1.20- 2.29). Vitamin D supplementation is not useful to reduce the incidence of pneumonia in children. The effective implementation of measles, OPT, Hib, and pneumococcal vaccines, and IMCI guidelines remain the key strategy to reduce the burden of pneumonia in Afghanistan.

Full textAbstract:
Students' absenteeism is high in Afghanistan. There are various reasons associated with boy and girl students' absenteeism. This research is conducted to collect the views of parents and teachers about reasons of boy and girl students' absenteeism in higher secondary classes of Kabul city schools; it also explores the various strategies used by parents and teachers to improve students' attendance. Data was collected through a questionnaire in 10 schools. 83% teachers and 95% parents replied to the questions, the collected data was then categorized and presented for schools, parents, teachers, girls and boys. Absenteeism more likely affects academic achievements of students, causes disintegration from school life and drop out from school in severe cases. Findings of the study show that there are various financial, environmental, cultural and family related factors that hinder students' attendance, but girl students' attendance is particularly affected by cultural and family related reasons while boy students' attendance is affected by lack of motivation, bullying and weak school regulations. Despite higher absenteeism, it is good indication that parents and teachers have taken up some strategies to reduce students' absenteeism. Educated parents are more tolerant and supportive of their girls' education and likewise qualified teacher deal more professionally on tackling students' absenteeism. Government has established parents' shuras (councils) in schools but a robust coordination and support system needs to be established among Government, parents and teachers to improve both girl and boy students' attendance in schools.TEMP

A Work Project, presented as part of the requirements for the Award of a Masters Degree in Finance from the NOVA – School of Business and EconomicsThis work project aims to analyse the acquisition of German cable operator Kabel Deutschland by the British telecommunications company Vodafone in September 2013. Analysis of the technologies and German telecommunications sector reveals the sources that motivate a transaction. The acquirer needs to find a way to react to the increasing demand for data on internet connections. Also, Vodafone has a weak infrastructure of fixed line and thus is missing a strong network to be able to offer the full Quad-Play services (TV/Fixed-Phone/Internet/Mobile). The acquisition target is a company with a strong cable network in place that is a good alternative to provide modern internet connections. Both companies seem to be highly complementary and would benefit from a merger by getting an improved competitive position and readiness for the Quad-Play trend. The offer price per share is with €87 per share 24% above the standalone DCF valuation and represents an attractive premium for target shareholders. Discounting the claimed Synergies by acquirer Vodafone result in an NPV of €4.5 billion. This means that Vodafone is paying away 33% of the Synergies to the target. However, Vodafone shareholders can still expect to gain from the investment as cost synergies seem credible and sufficient to cover the premium.

This report is written on the assignment by Nexans IKO Sweden AB in Grimsås which is a cable manufacturing company. Nexans IKO Sweden AB was in need of help to examine possibilities for saving energy by saving compressed air, in first place by using the compressed air more efficient. The task was to determine the present situation, making the airwipe stations more efficient by reducing the consumption of the compressed air and in turn save money. Even the aspects of the working environment were discussed as the noise levels from the pneumatic systems and engines are usually high. A schedule over the airflow in the factory and the inventory over current airwipessituation was made. A proposal on investments for exchange based on comparison between the old airwipes mouthpieces and the new mouthpieces of the brand Huestis was made. The alternative drying methods wich does not demand any compressed air was examined and introduced as suggestions on the drawing level. The data collected from the factory production and examinations based on measurements are the fundation for the comparison calculations and exange investments. For compilation of data and design computer programs like Excel and Pro/Engineer was used.Uppsatsnivå: C

Full textAbstract:
The growing accessibility of quantum mechanics and chaos theory over the past eighty years has opened a new mode of world-creating for dramatists. An increasingly large collection of plays organize their fictional worlds around such scientific concepts as quantum uncertainty and chaotic determinism. This trend is especially noticeable within dramatic texts that emphasize a fictional, not material or metafictional, engagement. These plays construct fictional worlds that reflect the increasingly strange actual world. The dominant theoretical approaches to fictional worlds unfairly treat these plays as primarily metafictional texts, when these texts construct fictional experiences to speculate about everyday ramifications of living in a post-quantum mechanics world. This thesis argues that these texts are best understood as examples of speculative fiction drama, and they speculate about the changes to our understanding of reality implied by contemporary scientific discoveries. Looking at three plays as exemplary case studies—John Mighton’s Possible Worlds (1990), Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia (1993), and Tony Kushner’s Homebody/Kabul (2001)—this thesis demonstrates that speculative fiction theories can be adapted into fictional worlds analysis, allowing us to analyze these plays as fiction-making texts that offer nonclassical aesthetic experiences. In doing so, this thesis contributes to speculative fiction studies, fictional worlds studies, and the dynamic interdisciplinary dialogue between aesthetic and scientific discourses.

Full textAbstract:
In collaboration with Semcon Karlskrona, a conceptual solution regarding withdrawal of cable from a carousel was developed. The diameter of the cable were 300 mm and its weight were 160 kg/m. By brainstorming, a number of draft was conceived whereof one were chosen by Pugh's concept screening. The solution was an arm supported by a framework construction. The end of the arm is bent to match the minimum bending radius of the cable. The arm is capable to translate sideways by a puck located in runners. These runners are coated by the plastic material Robalon to achieve a good sliding surface. The translation will be made possible by using a wire and a a winch. At the back edge of the arm a hinge were attached, allowing rotation around the supporting pillar. At the centre och the carousel, an axis is located which will be used to fasten the centre pillar against. All of the bars that are used in the construction are hotrolled rectangular hollow sections as these are seen to be advatageuos from a manufacturing perspective. The dimensions of the construction was determined regarding buckling, compression, tension and shear. As were the welded and screwed joints.I samarbete med Semcon i Karlskrona utvecklades en konceptlösning för upptagning av kabel ur en karusell med två fack. Kabeln ägde en diameter på 300 mm samt en vikt på 160 kg/m. Flertalet konceptförslag togs fram via brainstorming varav ett sållades fram med hjälp av Pughs konceptvalsmatris. Lösningen blev en arm vilken vilar på ett stödfackverk. Armens ände är krökt så att den matchar kabelns bockningsradie. Armen kan translatera i sidled med hjälp av en puck belägen i skenor. Dessa skenor är klädda med Robalonplast för en bra glidyta. Translationen genomförs med hjälp av vinsch och vajer. I armens bakre ände återfinns ett gångjärn vilket möjlig rotation kring stödpelaren. I karusellens centrum finns en centrumaxel vilken den inre stödpelaren är fäst mot. Samtliga de stänger vilka används är varmbearbetade rektangulära konstruktionsrör då dessa anses vara fördelaktiga ur ett tillverkningsperspektiv. Fackverkskonstruktionen dimensionerades gentemot knäckning, tryckning, dragning och skjuvning. Dimensionering gjordes även av de svets-, och skruvförband, vilka fogar samman konstruktionen.
