The Telychian Age (Llandovery, Silurian) is marked by significant radiation among marine organisms, a faunal turnover, and palaeoenvironmental changes, collectively known as the Valgu Bioevent (Valgu BE), Valgu Carbon Isotope Excursion (Valgu CIE), and the Valgu Oxygen Isotope Excursion (Valgu OIE). However, the environmental drivers of these changes remain debated. Here we investigate the middle

This article argues that despite the fact that “good governance” has acquired a very particular set of meanings within the international development community, this remains an inherently contested and political concept. It traces the emergence of a good governance agenda within international development—and particularly within the World Bank—and identifies the important shifts that have occurred i
Description: Early interventions with PMDs can improve the independence and developmental outcomes of children with disabilities. Increasing awareness and interdisciplinary collaboration are essential to overcome barriers to access to PMDs. Expanding global partnerships and integrating PMDs into clinical and educational settings can increase children's access to mobility.

Background: Inadequate health literacy increases medical costs and leads to poor health outcomes. However, there is a paucity of empirical evidence of such associations in sub-Saharan Africa. This study investigates how the household cost of malaria in children under five in Ghana varies based on different levels of health literacy. Methods: A cross-sectional survey involving 1270 caregivers of ch
Svensk populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning Fjärranalys av skogsskövling längs med den trans-amzoniska motorvägen Skogsskövling är ett av de större miljöproblemen vi har idag. Speciellt snabb har skövlingen varit i Amazonas regnskog, där minst tjugo procent försvunnit de senaste 40 åren. Fjärranalys används för att uppskatta skogsskövling längs med den transamazoniska motorvägen (BR230). Analysen utDeforestation is one of the biggest environmental challenges today. Especially severe has the deforestation of the Amazon rainforest been where at least 20% has been cleared the last 40 years. A time series analysis of deforestation rates between 1984 and 2013 has been performed on several sites close to the Trans-Amazonian highway BR230 in the Amazon and Para states. This is done by applying a su
Cambodia is preparing a scale-up of the Continuum of Care for people living with HIV with the goal of eliminating new HIV infections by 2020. To measure if Cambodia is reaching its goal it is necessary to obtain high-quality strategic information. This case study looked into how HIV Case Reporting, as one component of strategic information, facilitates the monitoring of the epidemic. Doing so, it
The purpose of this thesis is to provide a new approach to the study of collaborative consumption. This new approach is to study collaborative consumption in the less affluent world from consumer culture theory apart from any managerial inclination in order to abstract the understanding of consumption patterns of the less affluent world towards collaborative consumption. The study aims to provide
The contemporary labour practices within the readymade garment industry in Bangladesh represent sweatshop-related working conditions. The garment workers suffer from appalling working conditions that have not existed in the global North for a couple of hundred years. The export of garments is Bangladesh’s main source of income. In order to ensure that the country remains competitive in the global
This thesis attempts to understand the ways in which popular film is integrated into the everyday lives of urban middle class youth in India. Approaching the study of film through an audience reception approach, I engaged in participant observation and interviews during a fieldwork period in New Delhi in order to better understand how a young audience might negotiate the fantasy of filmic images i
When the rural Aymara migrate to El Alto they experience a cultural alienation as their culture and identity is contested by the global influences and western values of the city. The migrants have to reconstruct their identity in a process of identity-formation, which can be located on a range between the opposing tendencies of assimilation and revalorization. Revalorization or to revalue, is to a
Asperger syndrome (AS) and non-verbal learning disability (NLD) are both characterized by impairments in motor coordination, visuo-perceptual abilities, pragmatics and comprehension of language and social understanding. NLD is also defined as a learning disorder affecting functions in the right cerebral hemisphere. The present study investigates if individuals with AS and a cognitive profile consi
The future of nations and nationalism appears to many to be more uncertain than ever in view of the growing interdependence of the planet. The question of whether globalization heralds the end of nationalism cannot be answered properly without distinguishing between nation and state. In the case of the state, the question is whether states can preserve their sovereignty intact in an age when polit
In this study, vegetation optical depth from ESA's Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite mission is combined with other existing remote sensing, meteorological and literature data in order to obtain values of gravimetric vegetation water content (Mg). The methodology combines an effective medium model valid at passive microwave frequencies with a vegetation dielectric constant model. T
This chapter uses the mass-conservation equations for CO2 and its isotopomers 13CO2 and CO18O that can be used to infer globally biospheric and oceanic net fluxes in the case of 18C, and gross terrestrial biospheric fluxes in the case of 18O. The quantitative use of atmospheric measurements of 13C and 18O in CO2 to better constrain those fluxes requires knowledge of various processes specific to e
Abstract. Under the influence of U.S. government regulations, enforcement of anti-bribery laws and embarrassing corruption scandals, major global corporations have realized that unethical conduct may affect not only their reputations but their profits. This development has given rise to a new position within the traditional management team: the ethics and compliance officer (who differs from the e
The Zumaya section, northern Spain, is a suitable candidate to define the Global Stratotype Section and Point for the base of the Selandian Stage (Palaeocene) because of its excellent accessibility, exposure and stratigraphic continuity. Uncertainties exist, however, with regard to the stratigraphic horizon where to place the Danian/Selandian (D/S) boundary. Five potential stratigraphic horizons (
