3. 2. Fighting for Aid : Foreign Funding and Civil Conflict Intensity

   Författare :Daniel Strandow; Magnus Öberg; Michael G. Findley; Kristian Skrede Gleditsch; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Aid; foreign aid; foreign assistance; relief; humanitarian; conflict; civil war; civil conflict; geographic concentration; intra-state; violence; military; contest; low-intensity; guerrilla; irregular; conventional; decision theory; contest success function; geo-coding; geo-referencing; territorial control; propensity score; Africa; South of the Sahara; Peace and Conflict Research; Freds- och konfliktforskning;

   Sammanfattning : This dissertation focuses on the sub-national impact of foreign aid on civil conflicts by asking the question: How does foreign aid committed to contested areas affect the intensity of violence in those areas? The main theoretical contribution is to focus on how aid influences warring parties’ decisions to engage in contests over territorial control and how that in turn influences violence intensity. The study introduces two concepts: funding concentration and barriers to exploiting aid. LÄS MER

4. 3. An X-ray Based Spectroscopic Study of Structure Influencing Electrons : Fragmentation, Ultrafast Charge Dynamics and Surface Composition

   Författare :Geethanjali Gopakumar; Olle Björneholm; Carl Caleman; Isaak Unger; Ruth Signorell; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Fragmentation; ICD; ETMD; Ultrafast electron dynamics; Surface propensity;

   Sammanfattning : The structure of biomolecules, such as proteins, is intimately connected to the function of the molecules. These structures are often studied using X-ray diffraction. However, the interaction of the X-ray photons with the molecule can excite or ionize its electrons which in turn can causes changes in the molecular structure. LÄS MER

5. 4. Power Outages, Increasing Block Tariffs and Billing Knowledge

   Författare :Tensay Hadush Meles; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Power outages; defensive behavior; willingness to pay; Ethiopia; generalized propensity score; Residential electricity demand; shared connections; increasing block tariff; bunching analysis; panel data; Billing knowledge; consumer behavior; non-linear electricity price; field experiment;

   Sammanfattning : Preferences for Improved Electricity Services in Developing Countries: Household’s Defensive Behavior and Willingness to Pay Access to electricity has received much attention but its reliability has been given less focus. Thus, uninterrupted power supply remains a critical challenge facing households in low-income developing countries. LÄS MER

7. 5. Print or Perish? : A Study of Inertia in a Regional Newspaper Industry

   Författare :Claes Thorén; John Sören Pettersson; Alf Westelius; Karlstads universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Organizational change; inertia; newspaper industry; Information Systems; Informatik;

   Sammanfattning : The newspaper industry has in the last few decades experienced a gradual but steady decline. The cause of this decline and potential ways of counteraction have been under considerable debate recently both in the industry and in academia. LÄS MER
