1. 1. Masters of War : The Role of Elites in Sudan’s Communal Conflicts

   Författare :Johan Brosché; Kristine Höglund; Anders Themnér; Catherine Boone; Uppsala universitet; []

   Sammanfattning : Why do communal conflicts turn violent in some regions but not in others? Communal conflicts pose a severe threat to human security and kill thousands of people each year, but our understanding of this phenomenon is still limited. In particular, we lack knowledge about why some of these conflicts become violent while others are resolved peacefully. LÄS MER

3. 2. On Sahelian-Sudan rainfall and its moisture sources

   Författare :Abubakr A. M. Salih; Qiong Zhang; Michael Tjernström; Alessandra Giannini; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sudan; Sahel; rainfall; land use; deforestation; moisture sources; moisture transport; Lagrangian; moisture tagging; regional model; climate modeling; atmosfärvetenskap och oceanografi; Atmospheric Sciences and Oceanography;

   Sammanfattning : The African Sahel is one of the most vulnerable regions to climate variability at different time scales. It is an arid to semi-arid region with limited water resources. The summer rainfall is one of these sources, but it exhibits pronounced interannual variability. This thesis presents several aspects of Sahelian Sudan rainfall. LÄS MER

4. 3. Can improved paediatric pneumonia diagnostic aids support frontline health workers in low resource settings? Large scale evaluation of four respiratory rate timers and five pulse oximeters in Cambodia, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Uganda

   Författare :Kevin Baker; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :;

   Sammanfattning : Background: Pneumonia is the leading cause of infectious death in children under-five in sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia. Currently, the diagnostic criterion for pneumonia is based on increased respiratory rate (RR) in children with cough and/or difficulty breathing. LÄS MER

5. 4. Ghostlines: Movements, Anticipations, and Drawings of the LAPSSET Development Corridor in Kenya

   Författare :Johannes Theodor Aalders; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Infrastructure; Kenya; Im Mobilities; Temporalities; Comics;

   Sammanfattning : The Lamu Port-South Sudan-Ethiopia-Transport (LAPSSET) corridor is a partly completed development corridor in Kenya that will connect the eponymous places via roads, pipelines and railway lines, if completed. This thesis investigates how inhabitants of the traversed area navigate and shape the spatio-temporal landscape of the corridor, following three motifs: lines created through moving, anticipating, and drawing.
