Full textAbstract:
L'objet de ce travail est d'examiner comment une société de l'Afrique de l'ouest, les Kasena du Burkina Faso, aménage un espace géographique en un territoire. Quelles sont les notions, les institutions, les discours, les pratiques rituelles ou encore les gestes quotidiens au travers desquels une communauté villageoise Kasena construit son lien au sol et à l'espace ? L'examen de la catégorie de puissance appelée tangwam par les Kasena et "peau de la terre" par leurs voisins fournit le fil conducteur de l'ouvrage. Lieux ou prennent corps et "respirent" symboliquement tous les membres d'un même groupe d'agnats (lignage) mais aussi lieux qui s'offrent comme "espaces de souffle" pour les lignages occupant une même portion de l'espace villageois, les "peaux de la terre" peuvent être comparées à ces "dieux du territoire" dont S. Czarnowski, à propos des civilisations grecque et romaine, écrit qu'ils "ne sont autre chose que le territoire même" (1923). L'ouvrage, dont la matière est divisée en 10 chapitres, se compose d'une introduction générale sur l'ethnie Kasena et de deux parties, l'une intitulée "la parente et l'espace", l'autre "terres et chefferies". Dans la première partie, l'auteur aborde la question du lien territorial du point de vue de l'organisation interne des groupes sociaux lies par une commune résidence sur une même portion de terre. La seconde partie de l'ouvrage reprend la même problématique, envisagée cette fois sous l'angle du système territorial<br>In this thesis, the author analyzes how a West African society, the Kasena, transforms a geographic space into a territory. What are the notions, institutions, myths, ritual practices and daily behaviour through which the Kasena build up their relationship to ground and space? The study of the category of divinities called tangwam by Kasena and "skin of the earth" by their neighbours, fives the major axis of the work. The word tangwam means not only the sacred spot where periodically men renew a pact with the ground divinities but also the spot where symbolically all the members of an agnatic group (lineage) "breathe" and the "space of breath" for two lineages bonded by a commune residence in a same part of the village. One could say that these "skins of the earth" are alike the "territory-gods" about which S. Czarnowski, speaking of Greek and Roman civilizations, writes that "they are nothing but the territory itself" (1932). The work, divided in 10 chapters, includes an introduction on the Kasena as ethnic group and two parts, headed "space and kinship" and "earth and chieftainry". In the first part, the author deals with the question of territorial bonds, taking as point of view the internal organization of social groups dwelling in a same portion of land. The second part discusses the same question but, this time, through an examination of the territorial system

Full textAbstract:
The Kasena in northern Ghana first encountered Christian missionaries in 1906 and so began to hear about <I>We choha</I> (God's way). For 50 years, the Roman Catholic Church functioned alone among the Kasena. Over this time most Kasena perceived <I>We choha</I> to be the "white man's religion" and largely irrelevant. Of those who became Christians many appeared to live a dichotomous life. They attended church on Sundays, requesting prayer and Mass be said for their crises and problems, but also sought to resolve issues through divination and traditional means which the church had condemned. From the 1950s, Kasena began to change their perception and acceptance of <I>We choha</I>. This period is also marked by the entry of new churches into the Kasena homeland, exposure to new aspects of the Christian message and increased Kasena migration to the south of Ghana. This study attempts to understand from the Kasena their reasons for accepting <I>We choha</I> and to discover in what ways they perceive it as relevant to their world and in the context of their family and daily life. The study initially identifies the historic, environmental and socio-political context of the Kasena. It explores Kasena organisation of social and family life, and the way they seek to live in their environment, to resolve some of their problems and clarify issues, with a view to gaining insight into their ideas and beliefs about life and the transcendental realm. There follows a study of Kasena stories of conversion, the establishment of churches through archival and literary sources and 185 unstructured, open-ended interviews with men and women in different churches and communities.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis is focused on economic and social impact of the casinos in USA while it is global problem with important economic and political consequences. Main goal of the thesis was to analyze the gambling industry (casinos) in USA from micro-economic view (especially economic and social disadvantages of the casinos with respect to the individuals) and from macro-economic view (especially economic positives with respect to the society) together with social impacts on the citizens. Regarding methods, the thesis used methods of formal logic ( induction, deduction, analysis and synthesis). The thesis has the standard structure -- prologue, core of the thesis conclusion. Theoretical part of the thesis is focused on impacts of the gambling in general, history of the gambling in USA, Indian gaming, actual gambling in USA and legislative framework of the gambling in USA. Analytical part on the other side is focused on positive and negative impact of the commercial casinos and suggested changes in this respect for support of the positive impacts and elimination of the negative ones. Conclusion of the thesis is focused on summary of the most important conclusions of the whole analysis.

The diploma thesis, Determination of the caseins by the capillary electrophoresis, is dealing with a creating of the analytical method for a determination of the caseins in cow‘s milk. The capillary electrophoresis was used as a separative method. The developed procedure was optimalized and verified on standards of the caseins and the real samples. The theoretical part gives an information about the compound of cow's milk, caseins, their usage in the food industry and the non-food technologies. There are mentioned some further nutritional factors, whose application in the cattle nutrition can affect the milk composition. The experimental part describes the procedure of the caseins isolation from milk, the used separative system and the determination of the caseins in the lyophilisated samples of milk. The separation was performed in two untreated fused-silica capillaries. Both of them had the same internal diameter: 50 m. The total length of the first capillary was 96 cm (71 cm of effective length) and of the second used capillary 125 cm (effective length 100 cm) The phosphate buffer (10 mM, pH 2,5) served as a basic electrolyte. The diploma thesis has arisen on the basis of the cooperation of the Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology, the Faculty of Chemistry, Brno University of Technology and the Research Institute for Cattle Breeding, Ltd., Department of Animal Nutrition Physiology in Pohořelice.

Full textAbstract:
Casein proteins are important escpecially for cheese making. In addition to technology and other factors, casein concentration in milk and relative representation of individual casein fractions influence cheese yield. Majority fractions are alfa-casein, beta-casein and kappa-casein. For the determination of proteins in the milk can be used electrophoretic techniques or near infra-red spektrometry. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is going to be used. HPLC is widely used analytical method, which is based on differential affinity of the substances to the mobile and the stationary phase.
The thesis has introduced the method of determining the casein fractions by HPLC. The method was partially optimized using cow milk and calibrated to the standard solutions, which were purchased casein fractions derived from the bovine milk. Real samples of cow, sheep and goat milk were analyzed. The goat milk was available in several variants: Sanski goat milk and white shorthair goat from domestic or farm breeding. All milk samples were analyzed for casein and casein fractions proportions. Chromatograms show that the casein formula is different in cow, sheep and goat milk. Different concentrations of the casein fraction in the milk of various animal species have been statistically detected in almost all cases. The exception was the concentration of beta-casein in the milk of white shorthair goat from the domestic and the farm breeding and cow milk. In these types of milk there was no statistically significant difference in the concentration of beta-casein. Analysis of individual samples of white shorthair goat milk from the farm breeding shown that casein content in the milk of different animals reared under the same conditions may be different. Ratios of beta-casein to alfa-casein, beta-casein to kappa-casein and alfa-casein to kappa-casein were evaluated in all samples. Interspecific comparisons proved that ratios were statistically significantly different in all milks. In the milk of Sanski goat, there was found the stable ratio of beta-casein to alfa-casein during lactation. For all goat milk there were typical higher values of the ratio of beta-casein to kappa-casein. The ratio of alfa-casein to kappa-casein was highest in the sheep milk. Despite some shortcomings, it is possible to use the HPLC method possible for these purposes, but it is necessary to continue with its optimization.

<p>The object of the essay was to investigate the argumentation in the bill, the comments from unions and the authorities, among others and the motions concerning the bill. To analysis this argumentation I have been using feminist theory, specifically Carole Lee Bacchis ”What’s the problem”-aproach. I also used Maud Eduards and Diane Sainsbury to complete my theory. They describe men as the norm of the society and women as deviant. The questions I have been investigating in the texts are</p><p>- What’s the problem?</p><p>- Who or what caused the problem?</p><p>- Who or what is responsible for the problem?</p><p>- Who has the responsibility to change the problem?</p><p>- What problem is not mentioned?</p><p>- Are men mentioned as a gender and a group?</p><p>- Are women mentioned as a gender and a group?</p><p>- How are men and women described?</p><p>The investigation found that the problems that was presented in the theory was very mush present in the text that I investigated. Women are seen as passive and as willingness victims of their employers. Men on the other hand are active and are mentioned as the opposite of these women. The results however varied depending on which text was studied, but the main picture remained the same.</p>

The diploma thesis is dealing with the determination of caseins in lyophilised samples of milk using the method of capillary electrophoresis (CE). This method was optimised and verified by Ivana Micikova in her diploma thesis in 2009. The theoretical part of the diploma thesis gives information about the chemical compound of cow's milk. Caseins and their usage in the food and non-food industries are described in a separate unit. Impact of both the nutritional and non-nutritional factors on the composition of the milk is discussed further. The description and the principles of the CE and a list of the methods of CE used in the last several years are stated at the end of this part. The experimental part is focused on the preparation of the solutions, process of casein isolation and its analysis. It summarises the setting of the experiment, sampling and sample processing and the composition of the feeding mixtures. The diploma thesis has arisen on the basis of the cooperation of the Institute of Food Science and Biotechnology, the Faculty of Chemistry, Brno University of Technology and the Research Institute for Cattle Breeding, Ltd., Department of Animal Nutrition Physiology in Pohorelice.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: leaves 90-98.<br>Although, malaria is a major problem in Ghana, as III many Sub-Saharan Africa countries, there has been little research on its economlC impact, particularly at the household level. National statistics only show that malaria accounted for more deaths, more cases and more potential days of life lost than other cause, however little was said about the costs to households. The aim of the study was to estimate the economic costs (direct and indirect) of seeking malaria care to households and in doing this, the study used data collected from a randomly sampled 423 households in K-N district. Malaria was ascertained not by parasitological test but through self-reporting based on symptoms described by respondents using a one-month recall period. The estimation of direct cost involved the out-of-pocket expenditure on special foods, drugs, transportation, diagnostic and consultation and all other related costs (e.g. inpatient cost, toiletry cost, etc.). Indirect cost was estimated based on the number of days forgone and waiting time incurred due to malaria episode or caretaking and daily wage rate. The estimated costs were divided between direct and indirect costs, and examined in terms of location and case severity. Total direct cost per case in urban area was ¢6,701 ($1.79) compared to ¢7,822 ($2.09) in rural area. With regards to severity, direct cost per severe malaria was ¢11,182 ($2.98) compared to ¢5,317 ($1.42) of mild malaria. In the case of indirect cost and with regards to days lost, the average duration of severe malaria was 5.3 days, which was significantly higher when compared to 2.3 days of mild malaria. Estimated indirect cost per case in urban area was ¢20,804 ($5.55) compared to ¢15,842 ($4.22) in rural area. In terms of severity, 55% of the days lost were due to severe malaria and women in general lost more days and often incurred higher losses in potential earnings than men.

Gambling and mankind are linked together for thousands of years. Despite its negative influence, gambling games take an essential part in life of every generation. The main aim of this thesis is to analyse environment for casino start-up in six selected countries from central Europe and recommend the country with the most suitable conditions. The casino parameters will be defined in the particular chapter of the thesis. Countries, that will be compared, are Slovak republic, Czech republic, Hungary, Austria, Poland and Ukraine. The comparison will respect law systems of every country, which regulate the casino business. Information, we get from conducting the research, will be taken in mind in decision making process. To make the choice of the appropriate country (variant), two methods for comparing variants are used, in order to achieve objective result. In the end of the thesis, there will be a recommendation based on the results of the comparison. It should be noted that the recommendation will be based also on subjective evaluation.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references.<br>The National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) was introduced in Ghana in 2003 with the aim of mobilizing additional funds for health care, promoting equal access to reasonable health care, pool health risks, prevent impoverishment, and improve the efficiency and quality of health care. The success of the NHIS in improving access to health care since its implementation and the extent to which it has impacted on health seeking behaviour has not been extensively investigated. This study examines health-seeking behaviours of insured and uninsured households on the mutual health insurance scheme on health care access in the Kassena-Nankana District (KND) of northern Ghana and to determine the factors that influence household decision to enrol into the NHIS. The study is a cross sectional survey of 422 household heads randomly selected to represent rural, peri-urban and urban zones of KND. Data was analysed using STATA version 8.0. A binary logit model was used to determine factors that predict household enrolment into the NHIS. The choice of a particular type of provider with multiple outcomes was analysed using a multinomial logit model. Results showed that 72% of household heads were males and the average age was 51 years. Out of the 422 respondents, 64% were insured. Household heads of age 40 years and above, being a female household head, being married, and economic wealth positively influenced enrolment into the national health insurance scheme. Seventy four percent (74%) of the ill among the insured and 48% among uninsured sought care from public facilities while 14% among the insured and 8% among uninsured sought care from private facility. Also, self treatment among the insured was 13% and 44% among uninsured households. Results also showed that being a member of NHIS and being moderately or severely ill were associated with public health facility utilization. Household heads of 60 years or older was negatively associated with use of public health facilities. Similarly, a household that was insured, being a Muslim and the severity of illness of household member were positively associated with the use of private health care. The findings showed that the insured were more likely to use formal care providers than the uninsured. This implies that the NHI in the KND has improved the health seeking behaviour from the hitherto use of informal providers and self treatment to preferred use of formal providers.

Full textAbstract:
Este trabalho consiste na análise do romance Aravim Rokdim (Árabes Dançantes), do escritor árabe israelense muçulmano Sayed Kashua, e tem como foco central a questão identitária que envolve o árabe israelense conforme visto nessa obra. Publicado em 2002, o romance conta em hebraico, idioma que tem como leitor majoritário o judeu, a história de uma família de árabes israelenses. Este estudo é desenvolvido com base nas teorias provindas dos Estudos Culturais e Pós- Colonialistas, segundo as quais no ser humano coexistem múltiplas e antagônicas identidades. Esse fato é exponencialmente visto nesse árabe cidadão israelense apresentado no romance de Kashua, que convive com sentimentos de culpa devido à sua dupla-lealdade e conflitantes fidelidades: por um lado, ele aceita sua cidadania israelense; por outro, além de ser membro de um povo cujas muitas nações se opõem à existência do Estado de Israel, ele possui parentes nos territórios ocupados por Israel na Guerra dos Seis Dias (1967) que não tiveram direito àquela cidadania. Esses sentimentos complexos e ambivalentes são intensificados devido ao contexto sociopolítico do romance: a Segunda Intifada (2000-2006). Nesse período da moderna história de Israel, a desconfiança do judeu e do Estado de Israel em relação à fidelidade do cidadão árabe israelense para com seu Estado foi exacerbada. Surge dessa combinação um romance político inusitado, que se utiliza do humor e da autoironia para contar ao seu leitor a história do árabe israelense que vive preso entre duas sociedades, que se sente um estrangeiro em seu próprio meio e, mesmo assim, não desiste de buscar um novo lugar identitário para si próprio.<br>This work consists of an analysis of the novel Aravim Rokdim (Dancing Arabs) by Arab-Israeli Muslim writer Sayed Kashua, which focuses on the identity issues surrounding Arab-Israelis portrayed in the work. Published in 2002, the novel is written in Hebrew and recounts the history of an Arab-Israeli family. This study is based on the theories derived from the Cultural and Post-Colonial Studies, according to which human beings simultaneously experience multiple and antagonistic identities. This fact can be observed exponentially in this Arab citizen of Israel introduced by Kashua, as he lives with feelings of guilt due to his twin-loyalties and conflicting allegiances: if, on one side, he accepts his Israeli citizenship, on the other, he is not only a member of a people whose many nations oppose the existence of the State of Israel, but has relatives living in territories occupied by Israel in the Six-Day War (1967) who were denied the right to that citizenship. These complex and ambivalent feelings are intensified by the social-political context of the novel: the Second Intifada (2000-2006), a period in modern Israeli history when the distrust of Jews and the State of Israel regarding the allegiance of Arab-Israeli citizens to the State was exacerbated. These circumstances result in a unique political novel that uses humor and self-irony to tell the reader the story of an Arab-Israeli that lives trapped between two societies, that feels like a foreigner among his own people and that tirelessly seeks a new place to call his own.

The digital currency Bitcoin has attracted a lot of attention lately, partly because of its high volatility and rising popularity. The purpose of this study was to find out why companies have chosen to implement and accept Bitcoin as a payment method. Furthermore, investigate what costs and benefits companies experience from accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment, as well security concerns and risks related to Bitcoin. The scientific method of observation used to gather information was through qualitative research where interviews were conducted with six different companies that accepts Bitcoin as a means of payment. The study's results indicate that there are several factors that lead to companies choosing to implement Bitcoin as a payment method. It is perceived to be of high level of security as well the risks associated with Bitcoin are not perceived to be major among the respondents. The result showed that the costs of accepting Bitcoin as a means of payment are low for companies but unlike previous studies, it showed very high transaction fees for consumers.<br>Den digitala valutan Bitcoin har uppmärksammats mycket på senaste tid, bland annat på grund av dess höga volatilitet och stigande popularitet. Syftet med denna studie är att ta reda på varför företag har valt att implementera och använda Bitcoin som ett betalningsalternativ. Dessutom undersöka vilka kostnader och fördelar företag upplever med att acceptera Bitcoin som betalningsmedel, samt hur de ser på säkerheten och risker som kan uppstå. Studien utfördes med ett kvalitativt tillvägagångssätt där sex intervjuer genomförts med sex olika företag som tar emot Bitcoin som betalningsmedel. Studiens resultat visade på att det är flera olika faktorer som leder till att företag väljer att implementera Bitcoin som betalningsmedel. Den upplevda säkerheten var hög och de risker som förknippas med Bitcoin upplevdes inte som stor hos de tillfrågade respondenterna. Resultatet visade även att kostnaderna med Bitcoin som betalningsmedel är låga för företag, men att de till skillnad från tidigare studier visade på en väldigt hög transaktionskostnad för konsumenter.

La teoria dei campi quantistici rappresenta l'approccio moderno per descrivere tre interazioni fondamentali: la forte, la debole e l'elettromagnetica. Non è possibile descrivere la gravità come teoria di campo quantistico per via della sua non-rinormalizzabilità. La teoria dei campi quantistici su spazi-tempi curvi rappresenta un approccio moderno per descrivere le interazioni tra particelle quantistiche e campi gravitazionali. L'obiettivo di questo elaborato è di illustrare un metodo matematico completamente generale per descrivere particelle con spin in campi gravitazionali arbitrari, concentrando l'attenzione sulle implicazioni fisiche che riguardano l'interazione tra spin e campi gravitazionali. Questo apparato viene poi applicato a specifiche cosmologie, la cosmologia di Melvin e la cosmologia double Kasner.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT
Background: Schistosomiasis is a chronic parasitological disease and constitutes one of the major neglected public health problems in the word. The consequences that this disease causes in the population are subject of controversy. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of schistosomiasis in term of malnutrition, anemia and low school performance in an endemic region, naïve of interventions.
Methods: The study was conducted in Kasansa health zone in Democratic Republic of Congo where schistosomiasis has been endemic for decades. School aged children were recruited at home. From each child, anthropometric measures, biological and laboratory exams were obtained. The questionnaire was used for economic status, behavior and other factors related to schistosomiasis. Regression logistic was used to control confounding factors. A 95% confidence interval was used for statistically significance.
Results: The proportion of malnutrition was 53.8%, anemia 67.0% and low school performance 41.1%. In this health zone, the study found and confirmed a high proportion of children who are infected with S. mansoni (89.3%) and malaria (65.1%).
Conclusions: This study showed high proportions of complications that are usually reported as associated with schistosomiasis, among school aged children in the health zone of Kasansa. Future studies are needed to show causality and to find efficient ways to control these morbidities.

This thesis is based on an investigation to find out in what way 40 Swedish public librarieskeep and preserve their library materials. The investigation is based on inquiries sent outto the libraries. It deals with the keeping of books with regard to external factors which havedestructive effects on library materials as well as the safety at the library buildings. It is, aswell, about the preserving work being done at the libraries.Comparisons are made with literature and accounts about preserving measures and recommendationsregarding appropriate environment in premises and depositories. The resultsshow great differences between the libraries as to the library environment, i.e. from payingattention to the factors and taking measures to taking no measures at all. The safety concerningtheft and fire varies as well.Most of the libraries have old and/or special collections. Nearly all the libraries do simplerepairing themselves, while over half the number, in addition, apply to special firms for bindingor more advanced restoring work. Topicality, currency and the last volume are essentialcriteria of book preservation. There is an urgency to preserve local collections and valuableold materials as well.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, skin secretions from member species of the African frog genus, Kassina, (Kassina maculata and Kassina senegalensis) were used as a source of bioactive peptides. By employment of molecular cloning technology, four bioactive peptides were identified and characterised from electrically-stimulated skin secretions of both species and the bioassays described in this thesis were all performed using synthetic replicates of each peptide. Kassina senegalensis skin secretion is considered as one of the richest sources of tachykinins. In this thesis, two tachykinin-related peptides are described. Chapter 3 describes a peptide which is structurally and functionally similar to kassinin, which was found to stimulate the activity of isolated urinary bladder and uterus smooth muscle preparations in a dose-dependent manner. A second peptide described in Chapter 4, proved to be a tachykinin antagonist and specifically inhibited the contraction effect of kassinin and neurokinin A (NKA) on rat urinary bladder. This is a natural non-competitive NK-2 receptor antagonist and the inhibitory effect could was comparable to an established synthetic NK-2 receptor antagonist. Due to its inhibition of kassinin effects and its position behind kassinin on their common precursor, this peptide was named kasshinder.

<p>Health security is increasingly being seen as integral to any poverty reduction strategy. Health is viewed not only as an end in itself but also as an indispensable input into the development process because there is a positive link between health and development. Of all the risks facing poor households, health risks probably pose the greatest threat to their lives and livelihoods. Against this background, this research examines the vital subject of participation in mutual health insurance as a poverty reduction strategy at the rural community level. It has been accepted that community-based initiatives play important roles in improving poor people s risk-sharing arrangements. The extent to which these community-based initiatives are able to address the problem of social exclusion in local communities is far from being clear.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Magister Public Health - MPH<br>Since the advent of the HIV pandemic, efforts have been made to find and implement interventions to reduce the risk of transmission of the infection in various risk groups. Mother to child transmission is responsible for a great majority of childhood HIV infections. Interventions have been developed which reduce considerably the risk of mother to child transmission to babies born to women who are infected. To be able to access these interventions, pregnant women first have to know their status by being tested at antenatal clinics. Initial testing protocols in most countries were based on the opt-in, client-initiated approach. However, in many countries, this did not result in many women getting tested and being able to access interventions. Accordingly, many countries have now adopted the routine opt-out approach as a way of increasing testing rates among women attending antenatal clinics. Ghana has had a PMTCT programme since 2004 initially based on opt-in testing. In 2007, there was a change in this testing regimen to the opt-out approach. The aim of this study was to assess the quality, acceptability and factors influencing the acceptability of the use of routine verbal opt-out strategy for HIV testing during pregnancy for women attending antenatal clinics in the Kassena-Nankana district of northern Ghana. A cross-sectional analytical study design was used in this study. The study was conducted in the Kassena-Nankana district of northern Ghana using a structured questionnaire in face to face exit interviews with pregnant women after they had completed their first antenatal clinic visit. A total of 251 women aged between 15-49 years were interviewed after informed consent had been obtained from them. Data was captured with Epidata and analysed with EpiInfo. Cross-tabulations and logistic regression analyses were done. Of the 251 respondents who were interviewed in this survey, 85% of them were aware of MTCT, 82% knew at least one PMTCT strategy, 92% felt they had experienced good quality counselling that day at the ANC and 81% thought that the opt-out testing was acceptable. The perception of the women in the study about the quality of counselling they were given, their exposure to radio and their ethnicity were significantly associated with their acceptability of opt-out testing for HIV. While majority of the respondents felt that the quality of the counselling they received was good and a majority also felt that the opt-out strategy was acceptable, there were concerns about the quality of counselling provided. Recommendations include the need to improve counselling practices in the antenatal clinics by providing more structured information to the women. The District Health Management Team also needs to provide more information to people in the communities about PMTCT using radio as a medium.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis develops a participatory modelling process to study improvement in the management of irrigation efficiency, including physical and social dimensions in the context of arid and semi-arid regions of Iran. This study develops an interdisciplinary and participatory method to understand and strengthen collective decision-making in local Iranian farming systems. Specific attention is given to groundwater irrigated agricultural practices under the Iranian governance system to provide wider context. Kashan City, in central Iran is selected as a case study area for specific reasons, such as historical water use, the farmers’ rich indigenous knowledge, and successful agricultural practices under conditions of water scarcity. The accessibility and willingness of local farmers to engage in a participatory modelling process are considered. The thesis suggests the first use of role-play simulation for irrigation management practices in Iran, is an effective and insightful method of achieving adaptive management solutions. The application of an innovative participatory simulation modelling with farmers revealed their main incentives for collective irrigation practices, their capabilities to learn and evaluate the system. It is argued that management decisions have major impacts on farmers’ livelihoods and therefore it is essential to integrate farmers’ perspectives in local governance to sustain agricultural productivity.

Full textAbstract:
Includes bibliographical references (leaves 236-251).<br>This thesis develops a methodology for measuring equity in access to health care. The thesis deconstructs the concept of access into dimensions that represent the supply and demand side of health care and tests each of these dimensions by using the example of access to malaria services in the Kassena-Nankana district of northern Ghana. An innovative framework and a disadvantage index are developed herein, and are used to analyse the primary factors of access and to measure inequities in such access. A cross-sectional survey of 1880 household heads, focus group discussions, in-depth and key informant interviews with community members and health providers were used to explore issues in respect of malaria management, health care access and perceptions of poverty. The principal component and factor analysis statistical methods were then applied to estimate access factors and to compile a disadvantaged index of access. The key findings indicate that the dimensions, availability, affordability, information and acceptability primarily determine access to health care. On the availability dimension, physical distance to health care, provision of primary and inpatient are and travel distance are significant factors. The primary factors of affordability are associated more with the socio-economic characteristics of the household than with direct user costs. The information dimension is determined primarily by knowledge to treat levels of severity of malaria and the source of information for treatment. The acceptability of health care is related to methods and services for managing severity of levels of malaria at home as well as using qualified health care providers. The disadvantage index and poverty maps show significant disparities in health care access between geographic areas and socio-economic groups', with areas in the outskirts of the Kassena district being the most disadvantaged in terms of availability, acceptability and information. These areas are however not economically disadvantaged. The poorest households have the lowest accessibility scores across all dimensions.

The purpose of the essay was to examine the role of the professional communicator in the Swedish Unemployment Funds. Focus was on measures carried out by the communicator to enhance and streamline communication and how the communicator supports their coworkers in their own communication role. In order to fulfill the purpose, two main questions were asked; How do the communicators support and develop their coworkers communication role? What to the communicators identify as challenges in their work in doing this?The theoretical base of the essay was Heide and Simonssons (2011) challenges for the professional communicator. The theory states that organizations communication processes are the foundation to its existence and development and that the professional communicator therefore needs a solid base with the possibility to monitor the whole organization.A questionnaire was sent to communicators in all Swedish Unemployment Funds and even though the non-response was rather considerable, the answers received was assessed sufficient to make an analysis. The result showed that the support the communicators provide their coworkers is both strategic and operational and that the communicators often act as mentors for coworkers as well as managers. However, only a few of the communicators are used as educators in their organizations. Also, few communicators are represented in higher strategically important forums. A majority of the communicators have to work without a communication strategy, a fact that limits their possibility to support their coworkers. To summarize, communication issues seem to be rather marginalized in the examined organizations.<br>Program: Magisterutbildning i strategisk information och kommunikation

Full textAbstract:
Kastsystemet är en del av det indiska samhället samt religionen hinduismen. Numera är rollerna i kastsystemet inte lika tydliga samtidigt som att religionen fortfarande praktiseras. Därför är det intressant att studera hur den religiösa praxisen kan skilja sig, eller inte, mellan brahmin och harijan kasten. Puja är namnet på religiös hängivenhet till Gud i hinduisk tro. Syftet med studien är att undersöka och analysera hur kvinnor från harijan och brahmin kasten utför sin puja. Forskningsfrågorna är: Vilka skillnader och likheter har kvinnor från harijan och brahmin kasten i praktiken i sin dagliga religiösa ritual på morgonen? Vad ber harijan och brahmin kvinnorna om? Hur utrycker kvinnorna att morgonpuja påverkar dem? Metoden som användes var kvalitativa observationer och kompletterande intervjuer med kvinnor i områdena Assi och Lanka. Sex kvinnor i harijankastet och sex kvinnor i brahminkastet har observerats när de utförde sin morgonpuja var för sig och intervjuas efteråt. Bilder har tagits för att kunna analysera vad deras altare har för betydelse. Resultatet som presenteras relateras till tidigare forskning och teorierna om: puja, kvinnliga ritualer, Hinduism, kastsystemet, KASAM, Shaktism, Vaishnavism och Shivaism. Kvinnorna i harijankastet visar fler tendenser att tillhöra Shaivism, förutom en person som visade tendenser för att tillhöra Shaktism. I brahminkastet visar de fler tendenser till Vaishnavism. Denna slutsats kommer från artefakter som de har på sina förändringar och vilken gud de ber till först. De i Harijankastet fokuserar mer på rökelse under morgonpuja och kvinnor i brahminkastet, i denna studie, använder flera resurser som att tvätta gudarna med vatten från floden Ganges. Traditionen vidarebefordras av familjen och förändras efteräktenskap. Alla kvinnor i denna studie känner sig lugna efter puja och förklarar känslan som fridfull. De känner att de får sina böner besvarade och får sina önskemål beviljade från gud / gudar. Det är också ett sätt att hantera utmaningar i livet. Detta visar att puja, för alla kvinnor i studien, är en religiös rutin som ger dem lugn och en känsla av sammanhang för deras vardagliga uppgifter och utmaningar, såsom teorin KASAM förklarar som ett slags mentalt immunförsvar. Kvinnorna i brahminkastet ber för att behålla ett stabilt liv, också för saker som världsfred och deras barns framgång i skolan. I harijankastet ber kvinnorna mer mot förändring och hälsa.

Full textAbstract:
Food is widely consumed and in 2011 an average American devoured approximately one ton of food. The production of these goods requires large amounts of energy and contributes to 22-31 % of all greenhouse gas emissions occurring in Europe. More than one third of the produced food is discarded instead of consumed, and food waste make up about 30 % of the waste generated by households. 60 % of this food waste could be avoided if the eatables were handled in a better way. Avoidable food waste arises partly because residues from food are not taken care of, and because the food is not stored in a way that optimise its durability. Residues arises part- ly because of the contradictory and complex demands of everyday life and are, because of our busy lifestyle, difficult to avoid. To reduce the environmental impact of food con- sumption the focus should be on managing residues in the most environmentally friend- ly way, rather than to prevent residues from arising. To prolong the shelf life of food residues freezing it is an alternative method. The free- zer is one of the most energy consuming appliances in the household. Therefore this method requires energy consumption, which contributes to the generation of greenhouse gases. The food must also be thawed if this method is used, which may require additio- nal energy. The residues may also be disposed and used as a feedstock for biogas pro- duction. Biogas is an energy rich gas that can be used as vehicle fuel, as a replacement for fossil fuels. This handling of residues therefore has the potential for both energy gain and a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. This report examines which management method of residues that is the most energy ef- ficient one, and which method that generates the least GHG emissions. The survey was carried out for residues of beef, rice, bread, tomato, carrot and apple. Energy consump- tion for production, freezing and thawing of food were weighed against potential energy gain from biogas production. The same calculation was used for greenhouse gas emis- sions from the described activities. The result shows that the method which is the most energy efficient, and causes the least greenhouse gas emissions, is dependent on several factors, including the source of the food, the residence in the freezer and packing at the time of the freezing. Knowledge regarding the specific food, and the handling of it, must be possessed to answer how food residues should be handled. It is clear that there are cases when it could be more energy efficient, and produce less greenhouse gas emissions, to dispose food residues to produce biogas than to freeze them for later consumption.<br>Livsmedel konsumeras i stor utsträckning och under år 2011 slukade en genomsnittlig amerikan ca ett ton livsmedel. Produktionen av dessa varor kräver stora mängder energi och bidrar till mellan 22-31 % av alla växthusgasutsläpp som sker i Europa. Av de livs- medel som produceras är det drygt en tredjedel som kasseras istället för att konsumeras, och matavfall utgör ca 30 % av hushållens avfall. 60 % av detta matavfall utgörs av matsvinn, vilket innebär matavfall som hade kunnat undvikas om livsmedlen hanterats bättre. Matsvinn uppstår bland annat på grund av att livsmedelsrester inte tas om hand, samt att livsmedlen inte förvaras på ett sådant sätt att dess hållbarhet optimeras. Livsmedelsres- ter uppstår bland annat som en konsekvens av de motsägelsefulla och komplexa kraven i vardagen och kan, på grund av den stressade vardagen, vara svåra att undvika. För att minska miljöpåverkan från livsmedelskonsumtionen bör fokus därför läggas på att han- tera resterna på det mest miljöanpassade sättet, snarare än på att förhindra att rester upp- står. Att genom frysning förlänga livsmedlens hållbarhet är en alternativ hanteringsmetod av rester som uppstått. Då frysen hör till en av de mest energikrävande apparaterna i hus- hållet kräver en sådan hantering att energi förbrukas, vilket bidrar till att växthusgaser genereras. Resterna måste dessutom tinas vid denna hantering, vilket kan kräva ytterli- gare energianvändning. Livsmedelsresterna kan också kasseras och användas som råma- terial för biogasproduktion. Biogas är en energirik gas som kan användas till bland an- nat fordonsbränsle, som ersättning för fossila bränslen. En sådan hantering av rester har därför potential till både en energivinst och ett minskat utsläpp av växthusgaser. I detta arbete undersöks vilken hanteringsmetod av livsmedelsrester som är mest energi- effektiv, samt vilken metod som genererar minst växthusgasutsläpp. Undersökningen genomförs för rester av nötkött, ris, bröd, tomat, morot och äpple. Energiförbrukning för produktion, frysning samt upptining av livsmedel ställs mot potentiell energivinst vid biogasproduktion. Samma beräkning ställs upp för växthusgasutsläpp vid de beskrivna aktiviteterna. Resultatet visar att vilken metod som är mest energieffektiv, samt orsakar minst växt- husgasutsläpp, beror på flera faktorer. Bland annat beror det på livsmedlens ursprung, vistelsetid i frysen och förpackning vid infrysning. För att kunna svara på hur ett livs- medel bör hanteras måste därför kunskap rörande det specifika livsmedlet och hante- ringen av detta besittas. Det står klart att det finns fall då det skulle kunna vara mer energieffektivt, samt orsaka mindre växthusgasutsläpp, att slänga livsmedel för produk- tion av biogas framför att frysa in dem för senare konsumtion.
