This paper examines the linkages between cash-crop income and other dimensions of poverty to interrogate assumptions regarding the relationship between agricultural income and poverty alleviation. The analysis treats poverty as a multi-dimensional and socially disaggregated phenomenon. The paper employs a mixed methods approach to case studies of Ghana and Ethiopia to explore two critical issues.
Stadsmiljöer är ofta sårbara vid katastrofer eller extrema väderhändelser. En anledning till detta är att stora delar av de tätbebyggda områden som utgör en stadsmiljö består av ytor som inte tillåter vatteninfiltrering. Detta kan medföra att vissa områden i en stad är mer benägna än andra att drabbas av översvämning. Att lokalisera översvämningsbenägna ytor är en viktig del i en stads uppbyggnad Impervious surfaces, such as large parts of the urban area, reduce infiltration and increase above ground runoff (Chen et al. 2009) with risk of flooding as a result. Urban flooding has the potential to affect a large amount of people, and can cause great harm to economic interests. Therefore it is important to locate potential areas prone to flooding, and have storm water regimes in mind when pla
Detta examensarbete ger ett förslag på en ny järnvägsstation i Kirunas nya centrum. I Kiruna pågår just nu en stadsomvandling, där en tredjedel av staden flyttas tre kilometer österut på grund av markdeformationer från Kirunagruvan. Detta innebär stora förändringar för Kirunaborna men även stora förändringar i stadsbilden, då majoriteten av centrum har eller kommer rivas och byggas upp igen i nya This thesis gives a suggestion for a new railway station in the new city center of Kiruna, Sweden. Kiruna is now experiencing an urban transformation, where one third of the population and the city moves three kilometers to the east due to ground deformations coming from the Kiruna iron ore mine. This leads to huge changes for Kiruna’s population, but also huge changes in the cityscape, since most
This thesis addresses the lack of consideration of Instagram as an online brand community. The aim is to explore consumption activities and motives regarding the artisan food brand on Instagram. It also seeks to investigate the idea of craft products and its influence on consumers' consumption choices and activities, including the concept of craft consumption. A netnographic approach is the ma
Branchless banking, the use of alternative delivery channels such as mobile banking and agent banking, is becoming increasingly popular among commercial banks in Kenya and in other developing countries. It is believed to reach the low-income and rural individuals as well as making these individuals better off. This study is an attempt to examine whether the use of mobile banking and agent banking
Populärvetenskaplig sammanfattning: Denna studie omfattar undersökningar av skogsskador, vattenflöden och höjdmodeller i Krkonose Nationalpark i norra Tjeckien. Nationalparken är belägen i ett område kallat Europas Svarta Triangel. Detta namn kommer av de kraftiga svaveldioxidutsläppen från stora kolkraftverk i Tyskland, Polen och Tjeckien under de senaste decennierna. Utsläppen har resulterat i eIn the 1970's, a widespread deterioration in forest health in Europe was observed, first for the European fir and, subsequently, also for many other tree species. Now a large portion of the forests in Europe is affected by forest decline to varying degrees. The first aim of the study is to investigate if forest damage and forest die-back have lead to a change in waterflow. The study area is t
Fire extinguishers are a requirement for fire safety in every type of building today. The effectiveness of a fire extinguisher is however dependent on it not leaking and keeping the pressure. To assure that this is not the case, maintenance is recommended at regular intervals, by the owners themselves at monthly intervals, and once per year by professionals. This however leaves the fire extinguish
Under de senaste decennierna har samhället genomgått en snabb teknologisk utveckling som resulterat i nya arbetssätt. Det är nu lättare än någonsin att arbeta var, när och hur man vill. Att världen drabbades av en pandemi under inledningen av 2020 accelererade den teknologiska utvecklingen. Digitala arbetssätt blev därmed vardag för majoriteten av den kontorsarbetande befolkningen. När det bevisliIn recent decades, society has undergone rapid technological development, resulting in new ways of working. It is now easier than ever to work where, when and how you want. A global pandemic at the start of 2020 accelerated technological progress. Digital ways of working thus became commonplace for the majority of the office-working population. With the evidence that remote working is productive,
For all flyers, aeroplanes or animals, making banked turns involve a rolling motion which, due to higher induced drag on the outer than the inner wing, results in a yawing torque opposite to the turn. This adverse yaw torque can be counteracted using a tail, but how animals that lack tail, e.g. all insects, handle this problem is not fully understood. Here, we quantify the performance of turning t
The EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been broadened over recent decades in response to evolving challenges faced by the EU and its farmers. It now claims to support not only food security and farmers’ incomes, but also transitioning to a green economy, conservation of biodiversity and climate action. We have evaluated to what extent four main types of CAP payment instruments form a cohesi
At a time of increasing environmental changes and geopolitical tensions, the need for collaboration in the Arctic is greater than ever. Top-down initiatives such as the Arctic Council have contributed to important increased collaboration and science diplomacy. Similarly, bottom-up initiatives have also played a major role in establishing diplomacy among researchers with spin-offs at government lev
Swedish child and youth care is constantly developing. The legislation has revealed the intentions and core values established to guide the social services work with children and young people. According to social research, social workers must manage conflicting demands in their professional practice. They are required to make context-specific individual judgments within the broader legal framework
In 2021 a disinformation campaign called the LVU campaign, spread and highlighted a lack of trust in Swedish authorities. One initiative working on the trust issue is Dialog med socialtjänsten (Dialogue with Social Services), a project in Malmö City. The project aims to increase the understanding of social services work and strengthen relationships between Malmö residents and social services. The
