  1. 6. Analysis of pervasive climate risks to global rice production at the subnational level

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Qian Mei; [2023]
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Rice is a vital crop and main source of calories for half the global population, particularly in the GlobalSouth. Despite increasing demand for rice, climate change, urbanisation, and land use development arethreatening rice production and therefore food security. LÄS MER

  3. 7. Using a social registry to assess household social vulnerability to natural hazards in Malawi

    Magister-uppsats, Umeå universitet/Institutionen för geografi

    Författare :Petter Sundqvist; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Household Social Vulnerability Index; Principal Component Analysis; Vulnerability Map; Natural Hazards; Disaster Risk Management; Flood Vulnerability; Social Registry; United Beneficiary Registry; Malawi; Nsanje;

    Sammanfattning : Social factors moderate the impacts of natural hazards, which means that households are affected differently when exposed to the same hazard. This differential impact of hazards can be explained by the concept of social vulnerability, which is commonly assessed to inform disaster preparedness and response action. LÄS MER

  4. 8. How does the degree of rurality affect different determinants of economic growth?

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Nationalekonomiska institutionen

    Författare :Philipp Goltzsche; [2022]
    Nyckelord :rural development; determinants of economic growth; country fixed effects; Spatial Autoregressive SAR model; European regions; Business and Economics;

    Sammanfattning : The heterogeneity in regional growth rates within the European Union has been subject to a vast array of studies and research. However, there exists surprisingly little literature focusing on the impact of regional structural development on the economic growth processes. LÄS MER

  5. 9. Accuracy and Reliability of 3D Scanning Spatial Data when Capturing Limb Morphology for Use within Prosthetics and Orthotics: A Scoping Review

    Kandidat-uppsats, Jönköping University/HHJ. Ortopedteknisk plattform

    Författare :Miles Bailey-Brændgaard; Peter Wibe Enevoldsen; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Scanner; 3D; Accuracy; Reliability; Validity; Prosthetics; Orthotics; Shape capture; Measurement; Human; Shape; Morphology; Assessment;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Scanners are becoming widespread in Prosthetics and Orthotics, replacing plaster casting in the manufacture of some types of devices. P&O shape capture must be accurate and reliable, so the device is comfortable and reproducible between clinicians/sessions. LÄS MER

  7. 10. The assessment of ecosystem services provided by forest edge effects on fields in a fragmented Swedish agricultural landscape : a methodological framework

    Master-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Crop Production Ecology

    Författare :Juliette Nguyen; [2022]
    Nyckelord :carbon sequestration; cropping systems; DSSAT; ecosystem services; edge effect; food production; landscape diversification; landscape fragmentation; soil heterogeneity; soil organic carbon; spatial variability; total nitrogen; yield;

    Sammanfattning : Agricultural expansion, prompted by increasing global food demand, has fragmented, simplified, and homogenized the landscape in the last decades. The resilience and sustainability of croplands are at stake, resulting in a hight vulnerability to climate change, and having major impacts on environmental protection, biodiversity preservation and food security.
