    This thesis is a case study and policy proposal that focuses on implementing composting in urban Kabul, Afghanistan. The project is inspired by the desire to make the city more environmentally and economically sustainable, and to improve the living conditions and provide income opportunities for people working in the informal sector. The research explores the food and garbage locations in Kabul to find the intersections between the two and implement compost systems to prevent food waste being dumped in landfills. Through Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analyses, potential localized compost systems to mitigate the problem of food waste in Kabul city are identified. The goal of the project is to decrease the amount of food waste ending up in the waste system, and therefore decrease air pollution, water contamination, and public health risks in Kabul. Solid waste management system in Kabul also contribute to climate change by producing greenhouse gases. Therefore, the reduction of food waste will also help mitigate climate change. Finally, the project aims to create data necessary to help solve the problems that exist within the food and waste systems in the developing city of Kabul

    BACKGROUND: We investigated the prevalence of post-procedural headache in patients who have undergone thrombectomy for ischemic stroke, and correlated history of migraine with risk of peri-procedural complications. A total of 314 patients underwent thrombectomy at the Danish National Hospital from January 2012 to December 2014. Eligible subjects were phone-interviewed using a purpose-developed semi-structured questionnaire according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders 3, beta version criteria. FINDINGS: Among 96 eligible subjects, there was a significant decrease in migraine (p = 0.022) within the first 3 months after EVT compared to 1 year before treatment, which was further evident at interview time (on average 1.6 years after EVT, p = 0.013). A minority of patients experienced headaches for the first time within 3 months of their EVT (migraine 2, TTH 9), which persisted at interview time for subjects with migraine. Out of 12 subjects with peri-procedural complications, 2 had a history of migraine with aura. CONCLUSION: Thrombectomy leads to a significant decrease in previously known migraine, and new onset of headache in a small subset of patients. A history of migraine does not appear to predispose to peri-procedural complications.
