Effect of Health Expenditure on Life Expectancy

Life Expectancy

welt bewegt

Ein mitreißender, tiefgründiger und bewegender Roman, den man nicht mehr aus der Hand legen will! Der Pageturner - jetzt als Taschenbuch! 

 Kemi, Brittany-Rae und Muna: drei Schwarze Frauen, drei Geschichten, drei unterschiedliche Lebensrealitäten. Ihre Ausgangspunkte könnten kaum unterschiedlicher sein. Und doch kreuzen sich ihre Wege in Stockholm - einer Stadt, die sich als liberal versteht.
 

 Marketing- und Diversitätsexpertin Kemi soll den Imageschaden einer umstrittenen Werbekampagne begrenzen. Flugbegleiterin Brittany-Rae gerät nach einer zufälligen Begegnung in eine Welt aus Reichtum und Privilegien - und in die gefährliche Obsession eines mächtigen Mannes. Die aus Somalia geflüchtete Muna versucht nach ihrer traumatischen Flucht, in Schweden endlich Fuß zu fassen.
 

 'In allen Spiegeln ist sie Schwarz' ist ein vielschichtiger, zugleich leicht erzählter Roman über Rassismus, Klassismus, Sexismus und Identität. Mit großer erzählerischer Kraft schildert Lolá Ákínmádé Åkerström die Lebenswelten Schwarzer Frauen in einer mehrheitlich weißen Gesellschaft
 

 'Pointiert und fesselnd geschrieben, erzählt L¿lá Ákínmádé Åkerström die Geschichte von drei starken Schwarzen Frauen. Sie wollen gehört, gesehen und wertgeschätzt werden. Einmal begonnen, legt man das Buch erst am Ende wieder weg.' Florence Brokowski-Shekete, SPIEGEL-Bestsellerautorin

Bloomsbury Introductions to World Philosophies

What defines a philosophical tradition? The primacy of the written text and individual authorship are two major defining and interwoven credentials that have been used to deny African philosophical thought prior to the postcolonial phase. In this significant contribution to the search for identity and authenticity of African philosophy, Elvis Imafidon questions the relevance of authorship and textuality in the production, storage and transmission of knowledge. Drawing from the rich and robust philosophical heritages of sub-Saharan African traditions, he showcases the many non-textual and textual ways philosophy is collaboratively and intersubjectively done and critiqued. His focus is on two major repositories of philosophical knowledges: orality and symbolism. Storytelling, adages, names and naming, folklores, proverbs and forms of symbolically encoded knowledges found in artefacts, symbols, textile patterns, motifs and corporeal and performative arts contest dominant narratives. They ask us to rethink the logic of binaries between literacy and illiteracy, text and non-text, and speech and writing. Paying close attention to the Binis and Esans in Southern Nigeria, the Akans and Gas in Ghana, the Shonas in Zimbabwe, and the Zulu people in South Africa, Imafidon affirms the place of orality, symbolic art and different indigenous methods for philosophising. Exploring the concept of street philosophy in Nigeria, we see how oral and symbolic forms of philosophizing persist in modern African societies. This much-needed book reclaims the voices, agency and narratives of African thought across history revealing the deeply embedded intersubjective and ecocentric Intellegence, and enigmatics of African philosophy. It challenges our understanding of the discipline of Philosophy and argues for an inclusive definition of philosophy in our trans-human, trans-textual age.

'Deeply moving and necessary'ANNE ENRIGHT'A must-read'iPAPER'Remarkable ... affecting'NEW STATESMAN'Original and heart-warming' LINDSEY HILSUMFrom the Orwell Prize-winning author of My Fourth Time, We Drownedcomes a powerful account of human resilience, capturing our capacity for love and connection against all odds.We live in an era defined by crisis - whether it be war and displacement, or climate collapse and rapidly widening inequality. Acclaimed international correspondent Sally Hayden has spent her career covering some of the darkest moments of our time, and yet even in the face of unimaginable adversity, she's witnessed the love and care of everyday people.Hayden introduces us to a couple separated by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and a mother in northeast Nigeria who risks everything to save her daughter from forced marriage to Boko Haram militants. We meet a group of Syrian women searching tirelessly for their missing spouses and children, while launching a call for justice, and learn about letters from the bereaved to the dead, still being written over a decade after the tsunami that devastated Japan.In stories that crisscross the globe, from Uganda to Lebanon, Rwanda to Iraq, Hayden asks us: what if news was recounted through the actions people take for those they love? Would it become harder to dehumanise those who seem different to us? This is Also a Love Story dares us to recognise how love can be found in even the most difficult of times, and to question what might be needed to create a better world.'Moving ...

'Siollun's books are gripping'&nbsp;Financial Times

'An essential book you'll want to re-read many times - there is no more eloquent and informed guide than Max Siollun'&nbsp;Sathnam Sanghera, author of Empireland

'Incredibly necessary, magnificently done'&nbsp;Remi Adekoya, author of&nbsp;It's Not About Whiteness, It's About Wealth

'Max Siollun has succeeded at making Nigeria's&nbsp;pre-colonial history accessible without flattening the tremendous diversity of its many peoples'&nbsp;Alex Thurston, University of Cincinnati

'An unforgettable read'&nbsp;Matthew T. Page, former US State Department&nbsp;Nigeria expert

'Max Siollun brings history to life with a cinematic sweep and intellectual confidence'&nbsp;Gimba Kakanda, Co-Lead at the Presidential Initiative for Innovation, Policy Evaluation and Research

Much is known about what Europeans did in Africa, yet very little is known about Africa's history before its colonisation.&nbsp;

In this surprising exploration, Max Siollun uncovers societies that were not part of a backward 'Dark Continent', but which instead had rich lore to rival the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Pre-colonial West Africa had a mesmerising cast of revolutionaries, intellectuals, innovators, and villainous assassins. These include the family that overthrew three different 1000-year-old empires, the royal court official who engineered the death of four kings, and the young enslaved boy who became the first Black bishop in history, befriending Queen Victoria along the way.

This story of a dynamic and artistic people is a vital read for those who want to discover a forgotten era of West African history.

Max Siollun is a historian and author. He has written four acclaimed books on Nigeria's history, most recently What Britain Did to Nigeria: A Short History of Conquest and Rule, which was shortlisted in BBC History Magazine's 2021 Books of the Year. He has written for the New York Times, Guardian, Independent and Foreign Policy.

Nigeria Before British Rule

The Forgotten Era

Die vier Elemente der Macht Schon heute steht fest, dass die Ziele des Pariser Klimaabkommens verfehlt werden. Jährlich verursachen Hitze, Hunger und Krankheiten etwa 250 000 Todesfälle. Auch dass wir Europäer im Kampf um Rohstoffe gegenüber China, Russland und den USA das Nachsehen haben werden, scheint unabwendbar. So weit, so schlimm. Aber wussten Sie auch, dass Afrika künftig Europa mit Solarenergie versorgen könnte? Dass es in nicht allzu ferner Zukunft keine autokratischen Ölstaaten mehr geben wird und neue Schifffahrtsrouten durch die schwindende Arktis führen könnten, die Asien, Europa und Nordamerika näher zusammenbringen?Der Geopolitik-Experte Arthur Snell präsentiert seine hoffnungsvolle Vision unserer Welt: 'Dieses Buch will keine Prognosen stellen, sondern ein Leitfaden für die Zukunft sein. Wir sollten akzeptieren, dass die Klimakrise unsere Welt bis zur Unkenntlichkeit verändern wird. Und darauf müssen wir uns jetzt vorbereiten.'

Bachelorarbeit aus dem Jahr 2025 im Fachbereich BWL - Wirtschaftspolitik, Note: Final year, University of Nigeria (Bauchi State University), Veranstaltung: Economics, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Nigeria faces a critical paradox of abundant fossil fuel reserves yet persistent energy poverty and unreliable electricity supply that undermine economic growth. Despite vast renewable energy potential, adoption has remained limited due to financial,
infrastructural, and policy barriers. This study empirically examines the contribution of renewable energy adoption to Nigeria's sustainable economic growth from 1990 to 2023, applying the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach. The research
pursued four objectives: to assess the effect of renewable energy's share in total final consumption and installed capacity on real GDP growth; to evaluate the impact of macroeconomic variables such as foreign direct investment (FDI), population growth, energy use per capita, and inflation on growth; and to identify the key policy and institutional challenges influencing renewable energy adoption.

The study addresses gaps in previous literature, which often relied on dated data, aggregated energy sources, or neglected macroeconomic and policy determinants. Findings indicate a significant long-run positive relationship between renewable energy adoption and GDP growth, though short-run effects remain modest due to high capital costs and infrastructural weaknesses. FDI and energy consumption per capita exert positive effects on growth, while inflation undermines stability and investment. The study recommends expanding renewable infrastructure through blended finance, ensuring policy consistency to attract private capital, upgrading grid and off-grid systems, and fostering vocational training for a skilled green workforce. Strengthening governance and reducing regulatory barriers will be critical to realizing Nigeria's Energy Transition Plan and meeting climate commitments while driving inclusive economic growth.

The Contribution of Renewable Energy

Bachelor Thesis from the year 2026 in the subject Business economics - Industrial Management, University of Nigeria (Sa'adu Zungur University, Bauchi), course: Business Administration, language: English, abstract: This study examined the effect of workplace safety management on employee performance at NASCO Food Nigeria Limited, focusing on four dimensions: safety promotion, safety policies, risk management, and safety assurance. A descriptive, cross-sectional survey design was used, with data collected from 109 employees (72.7% response rate from 150 questionnaires distributed, determined via the Yamane, 1967 formula) using a structured, close-ended, five-point Likert questionnaire. Data were analysed descriptively - frequencies, percentages, weighted means, and standard deviations - since the raw respondent-level dataset needed for Pearson correlation or multiple regression (as specified in the methodology) was not available; hypothesis decisions are therefore reported as majority-agreement associations rather than statistically tested effects. All four construct-level means exceeded the 3.00 scale midpoint (safety promotion 3.65; safety policy 3.67; risk management 3.70; safety assurance 3.72). 69.8% of respondents associated safety promotion with improved performance; 70.1% associated clearly communicated, consistently enforced safety policies with higher productivity and morale; 70.7% associated risk-management practices with reduced accidents and stress, though employee involvement in risk control scored lowest and most divided of all 20 items; and 71.5% associated visible safety assurance with higher job satisfaction and lower absenteeism. The study concludes that safety management functions as a strategic driver of employee performance rather than a mere compliance exercise, and recommends that NASCO Food Nigeria Limited sustain varied safety promotion, standardise policy enforcement across departments, expand participatory risk management, and maintain visible management commitment to safety assurance.

Studies in Private International Law

This groundbreaking book offers an in-depth exploration of the complex and evolving landscape of the recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments across Africa. Covering more than 26 jurisdictions, it spans a remarkable diversity of linguistic traditions (including English, French, Arabic, and Portuguese), religious contexts (such as Christian-majority and Muslim-majority countries), and legal systems (ranging from common law and civil law to mixed jurisdictions). As the first comprehensive study of its kind, the book examines national procedures, legal regimes, and institutional frameworks, combining theoretical insights with practical analysis. It sheds light on the multifaceted challenges that arise in cross-border civil and commercial litigation and reflects on the prospects for legal harmonization and reform within the continent. Drawing on the most up-to-date case law and legislative developments, both domestic and regional, the book offers a unique and timely contribution to understanding the mechanisms-current and emerging-that govern the movement of judgments across African borders. A practical guide and indispensable reference for practitioners, academics, judges, students, and policy makers alike, this invaluable book provides a comprehensive overview of the current state of foreign judgments recognition and enforcement in Africa, with all its intricacies and complexities.

'Third-Party Funding in Arbitration': Third-party funding is a growing phenomenon in arbitration practice. There is currently no regulation of this form of litigation financing in Germany. This thesis provides a classification of the litigation financing agreement under conflict of laws and German substantive law, outlines potential conflicts of interest, compares regulatory approaches in Singapore, Hong Kong, and Nigeria, and examines whether approaches for regulation in Germany can be adopted from the compared legal systems.
