Urbanization and forest degradation in east Africa - a case study around Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
2016
In this paper we examine the impact of the growing urbanization of Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, on the forest areas around the city. Since 1990 the city has seen an annual population growth rate of over 4%. We document the expansion of the city over the last 30 using the Global Human Settlement Layers, derived from the global Landsat archive. At the same time we show the depletion, of the surrounding forests that has occurred to meet the growing demand for agricultural land, fuel wood and construction material over the same period. The impact on these forests as a result of the demand from an expanding urban conglomeration is higher than would be expected from a dispersed population increase. T…
Tanzawaic acids I-L: Four new polyketides from Penicillium sp. IBWF104-06.
2014
Four new polyketides have been identified in culture filtrates of the fungal strain Penicillium sp. IBWF104-06 isolated from a soil sample. They are structurally based on the same trans-decalinpentanoic acid skeleton as tanzawaic acids A–H. One of the new compounds was found to inhibit the conidial germination in the rice blast fungus Magnaporthe oryzae at concentrations of 25 μg/mL.
E-government in Tanzania: Current Status and Future Challenges
2012
Article from the book: Electronic Government. Also available from SpringerLink: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-33489-4_17 The public sector plays an important role in the economic growth and development of developing countries. The application of modern Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) may help improve the public sector by contributing to new services and processes that address citizens as well as government-to-government services, involve citizens more directly in decisions being made, and contribute to streamlining work processes and standardizations needed to develop a well-functioning public sector. Research focusing on E-government in developing countries is still …
Export Barrier Perceptions in Tanzania: The Influence of Social Networks
2012
In this article, the author empirically examines export barriers Tanzanian firms encounter in attempting to initiate and/or expand export activities and the strategies they use for overcoming these barriers. Based on a social network perspective, the research hypothesizes that firms exploiting diverse networks should normally encounter fewer export barriers. Using a survey dataset collected from 122 manufacturing firms, the findings support the notion that networking reduces export barriers. More specifically, exploiting a large number of strong ties relative to weak ties, and a large number of institutional ties relative to business ties, can substantially enhance firms’ capabilities of ov…

The chapter continues with analyses of the moments of donor enthusiasm for civil society and NGOs and the recent debates on the shrinking space of civil society. Essentially, different stages presents different idea of an ideal citizen and also different efforts in order to sh…

Accidentalia delicti? Le circostanze nella struttura del reato
2009
L'articolo critica l'idea che le circostanze siano elementi estranei all'"intima struttura del reato". La tesi è che esse costituiscano, piuttosto, elementi capaci di modificare i diversi aspetti (tipicità, illiceità, responsabilità) di cui si compone la struttura del reato.
