Living the urban challenge : sustainable development and social sustainability in two southern megacities
2007
Kehitysmaiden nopea kaupungistuminen ja miljoonakaupunkien voimakas kasvu luovat haasteita kestävään kehitykseen tähtäävälle suunnittelulle. Kansainvälisissä kehitysohjelmissa on pyritty turvaamaan suurkaupunkien taloudelliset ja ympäristölliset tavoitteet. Kestävän kehityksen sosiaalinen ulottuvuus on usein rajattu kaupunkien tarjoamiin sosiaalipalveluihin.- Ympäristön säilyttäminen tuleville sukupolville ei onnistu vain talouteen, ympäristöön ja palveluihin kohdistuvilla teknisillä toimilla. Tämä johtuu etelän suurkaupungeille tyypillisestä räikeästä sosiaalisesta eriarvoisuudesta. Suurkaupunkien suunnittelussa tulisi analysoida sellaisia sosiaalisia haasteita, jotka heikentävät kaupunkie…
Application of information and communication technology for internationalization of Nigerian small- and medium-sized enterprises

Modelling the effect of ethanol on growth rate of food spoilage moulds
2005
The effect of ethanol (E) on the radial growth rate (mu) of food spoilage moulds (Aspergillus candidus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Eurotium herbariorum, Mucor circinelloides, Mucor racemosus, Paecilomyces variotii, Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium digitatum, Rhizopus oryzae and Trichoderma harzianum) was assessed in Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) medium at a(w) 0.99, 25 degrees C. In order to model this effect, the Monod type equation described previously by Houtsma et al. (Houtsma, P.C., Kusters, B.J.M., de Wit, J.C., Rombouts, F.M., Zwietering, M.H., 1994. Modelling growth rates of Listeria monocytogenes as a function of lactate concentration. Int…

A critical analysis of the 'cooperative' strategy to poverty reduction : a case study of cooperatives in Lagos, Nigeria
2007
The aim of this thesis is to critically examine whether cooperatives can be effective at poverty reduction, in response to the renewed call for a cooperative strategy to poverty reduction. The thesis studied cooperatives as a social organization and examined the interrelationships between the cooperatives and the members, the factors that hold both together to promote and deter the success of the cooperatives, the motivation for members’ participation and their expectations from the cooperatives. These were then used to discuss and evaluate cooperatives as a poverty reduction strategy. The study followed an inductive method for data collection and analysis. Focus group discussions were held…
