  1. 1. Potential and Limitations of the Sketch Map Tool in the International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Författare :Kimon Letzner; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Disaster risk reduction; Participatory action research; Community risk mapping; International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement; Colombia; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : In disaster risk management, participatory mapping (PM) closes spatial data gaps in communities by integrating local risk knowledge. The thesis examined the potential and limitations of the Sketch Map Tool (SMT) as a PM tool for community-based disaster risk reduction (DRR) through an International Red Cross Red Crescent Movement case study.

  3. 2. Beyond borders and barriers: A qualitative study of foreign direct investment and its effect on knowledge transfer in Rwanda

    C-uppsats, Handelshögskolan i Stockholm/Institutionen för företagande och ledning

    Författare :Linnea Helgegren; Astrid Viktorsson; [2024]
    Nyckelord :Knowledge transfer; Absorptive capacity; Social integration mechanisms; Foreign direct investment; Developing country;

    Sammanfattning : Foreign direct investment has been considered to provide an avenue for knowledge transfer between investors and entrepreneurs. However, few studies have investigated what capacities influence the quality of cross-border knowledge transfer. LÄS MER

  4. 3. “All we have is this beautiful place. But we don’t have the money”: The effect of foreign direct investment and global power structures on local female entrepreneurship in Coron Town, the Philippines

  7. 5. A computational model of metapopulation dynamics and organism-mediated nutrient flow

    Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet / Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap

    Författare :Amanda Hansson; [2023-08-07]
    Nyckelord :computational model; population dynamics; metapopulation dynamics; nutrient flow; simulation; spatially explicit; individual-based;

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this project was to assess, using in-silico experiments, how different life history char-acteristics, such as age at maturity and dispersal ability of individuals, influence the dynamics of a metapopulation. To achieve this, a novel model of a spatially explicit metapopulation, with organ-ism-mediated nutrient flow between fragmented habitat patches, was implemented by means of computer simulations.
