  1. 6. More than a technical issue for women in science : A contradictory normative reality at the University of Nairobi

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Kulturgeografiska institutionen

    Författare :Ida Essner; Sara Hesse; [2016]
    Nyckelord :Gender balance; gender equality and equity; women in science; technology; social constructions; hegemonic masculinity; University of Nairobi; Kenya;

    Sammanfattning : Kenyan women carry a lot of pressure from cultural expectations and norms; there are also a lot of prejudices regarding what women are supposed to do. At the University of Nairobi, Kenya, women in technical educations are a clear minority. This thesis aims to illuminate the obstacles women in science face when they pursue higher educations.

  3. 7. Soil factors affecting plant performance of climbing beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) in south western Kenya

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Soil and Environment

    Författare :Hanna Williams; [2016]
    Nyckelord :penetrometer; resistance; soil pH; staking; CN ratio; Kisii; KALRO;

    Sammanfattning : The south west part of Kenya is the most densely populated part of Kenya. This part of Kenya has relatively fertile soils and a favorable environment for crop production, which is why it is a major food producing area. The high population results in land scarcity with the average farm size ranging from 0.8-1. LÄS MER

  4. 8. Biological control of Fusarium wilt on tomatoes : use of Bacillus subtilis and interactions with the earthworm Pontoscolex corethrurus in a Kenyan highland soil

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Sara Söderlund; [2015]
    Nyckelord :biocontrol; BCA; Bacillus subtilis; Fusarium wilt; Fusarium oxysporum; earthworms; Pontoscolex corethrurus; tomatoes; Kenya; tropical highland soil;

    Sammanfattning : It is important to investigate the potential of biological control measures in agricul-ture, especially where economic issues restrict the use of expensive inputs or when there are environmental concerns about toxicity of agrochemicals. The bacterium Bacillus subtilis has proved promising as a biocontrol agent (BCA) in suppressing various plant diseases and it has also been shown to promote plant growth in certain cases. LÄS MER

  5. 9. A Study of Digital In-Line Holographic Microscopy for Malaria Detection

    Kandidat-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för teknikvetenskaper

    Författare :Carl Christian Kirchmann; Elin Lundin; Jakob Andrén; [2014]
    Nyckelord :DIHM; digital in-line holography; malaria; reconstruction; super resolution; phase; hologram;

    Sammanfattning : The main purpose of the project was to create an initial lab set-up for a dig-ital in-line holographic microscope and a reconstruction algorithm. Different parameters including: light source, pin-hole size and distances pinhole-object and object-camera had to be optimized. LÄS MER
