Women have always played a central role in smallholder agriculture in many farming systems of the Global South. However, they have had, and still have, low access to agricultural information, and even less ability to enact on training or advice received, in comparison to male farmers. The paper investigates what is needed for female smallholders to better benefit from agricultural advice and train
Understanding the processes that drive phenotypic diversification and underpin speciation is key to elucidating how biodiversity has evolved. Although these processes have been studied across a wide array of clades, adaptive radiations (ARs), which are systems with multiple closely related species and broad phenotypic diversity, have been particularly fruitful for teasing apart the factors that dr
A crystallogenesis study of human transthyretin using the counter-diffusion method is described as an alternative to conventional convective vapour diffusion and batch approaches for protein crystallization. The X-ray diffraction results show systematic trends that exhibit unique patterns of crystallization and high crystal quality as well as a remarkable degree of coherence within extended crysta
High-risk human papillomavirus (hrHPV) genotype is needed for adequate cervical cancer screening and HPV vaccination program evaluation as recommended by different guidelines. We aimed to assess the rate of HPV infection and HPV genotype distribution using vaginal self-sampling in a cohort of unscreened reproductive-age women in Ethiopia. A community-based cohort study was conducted with women age
INTRODUCTION: Behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) are a common driver of suffering and high care needs. We describe the Swedish BPSD registry, founded in 2010 to develop an evidence base for quality improvement in the care of patients with BPSD. Further, we illustrate the potential of the registry by evaluating how individual BPSD affects mortality. METHODS: The registry provi
En del av det fenomen som kallas skattebaserodering och vinstförflyttning (BEPS) händer när multinationella koncerner flyttar vinster med hjälp av räntebetalningar och ränteavdrag. Sverige har försökt angripa problemet genom att introducera regler som begränsar ränteavdrag i sin nationella lagstiftning. Genom antagande av den Europeiska Unionens (EU) första Skatteflyktsdirektiv (ATAD 1) så har detA part of the phenomenon known as tax base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) occurs when multinational entities (MNEs) shift profits through the aid of interest payments and interest deductions. Sweden has attempted to address this issue through introducing rules limiting interest deductions in national legislation. Through the adoption of the first Anti-Tax Avoidance directive (the ATAD 1) by th
Diabetes is an increasing problem in the world, where obesity is a large risk factor for developing the most common type of diabetes, i.e. type 2 diabetes. Numerous pharmaceuticals exist for managing the disease. The importance of the consumption of healthy foods is less emphasised albeit being an important and effective tool for managing the disease. The master thesis aimed at investigating how c
The aim of this study was to examine what junior and intermediate level school teachers con-sider to be their responsibility in regards to actively paying attention to children who are vic-tims of domestic physical and/or psychological violence. The approach of the study was quali-tative with semi-structured interviews. Five junior and intermediate level school teachers from two different schools
Since August 2017, more than 655,500 Rohingyas fled from Myanmar to Bangladesh escaping what has been categorized as an Ethnic Cleansing. Their legal status of stateless and non-recognized refugees in Bangladesh, combined with multiple violent encounters and their currently precarious living conditions in Bangladesh is what have turned the world’s attention to The Cox Bazar, where arguably the mos
While the Swedish rural countryside has seen a decline in economic activity and population due to demographic changes and cutbacks in welfare services the Norwegian rural areas has not undergone the same decline. This essay seeks to compare two political documents, one from each country, in the belief that not only policy, but also the views on the rural areas, peripheries, and their purpose influ
Parking is an essential part of the current transportation system and the infrastructure developed for the use of private cars. Parking policy has preserved unsustainable mobility patterns by providing excessive amounts of parking. This makes it an interest of urban planners to ensure that new parking policy facilitates for a sustainability transition in urban mobility. The aim of this thesis is
I denna uppsats har en netnografisk studie över bullet journal-metoden och instagramanvändare som brukar denna genomförts. Syftet var att undersöka vilka funktioner som anteckningsblocken fyller för användarna, hur bullet journal-relaterade instagramkonton används samt vad det är som driver människor att publicera bilder på sina bullet journals på Instagram och vad som händer i detta gränsland mel
This paper analyses the economic impact of Transnational Corporations through their activities across Global Value Chains (GVCs), using Mexico as baseline country. By exploiting the UNCTAD-Eora Global Value Chain database, we conduct an exploratory research methodology. We first unfold the relationship between GVC trade and economic development by disaggregating GVC trade into its two components (
The Standard Model of particle physics (SM) attempts to describe the fundamental particles and how they interact with each other. This model is however incomplete, as shown by various experimental observations. ATLAS is one of the experiments currently in operation at the Large Hadron Collider, which aims to search for new physics beyond the SM. To perform these searches, many ATLAS analyses look
Adipic acid is considered as the most valuable dicarboxylic acid with industrial use; however, its production is heavily petroleum-based. This non-natural metabolite can be produced de novo through different metabolic pathways, one of which is the alpha-ketoacid elongation pathway. This investigation revolved around the study of the enzyme that catalyses the first +1C elongation reaction of the pa
This study evaluates and compares four green roof methods with the purpose to calculate how many green roofs that potentially can be built on already existing buildings in a city. The methods are created for the cities Braunschweig, Thessaloniki, Lisbon and Lund. All of the methods mainly use Geospatial Information Systems and remote sensing analysis as tools. In order to answer the research quest
