This is the result of a field study performed during July -September 1990 in Bakel, eastern Senegal. The village Bakel is in a semi-arid region with low agricultural productivity as a result of drought, degraded soils and excessive rainwater runoff. The thesis presents environmental conditions of the region and the water harvesting techniques introduced by a Swedish funded reforestation project. A

The purpose of the investigation was to explain the genesis of transverse ridges in the south Bolmen area, western Småland, south Sweden. A geomorphological map was made of an area with 39 transverse moraine ridges and a sedimentological study was carried out in one of them. The ridges were interpreted to be made out of mass movement till which was deposited supraglacially in troughs of a stagnant

The river of Bråån is heavely polluted by nutrient leakage from arable land. The aim of this study is to propose measures designed to reduce nutrient transport within the dranaige basin (165 km2). Leaking areas of the arable land were located and measures were suggested where they would be most effective. The west part of the basin tends to leak more through the soil profile as a result of very in

The concept of adequate/reassuring (betryggande) safety in Swedish legislation for flammable liquid and gas is very hard to verify in established risk analysis methods. The difficulty lies in the fact that the concept of ade-quate/reassuring safety is only formulated in qualitative terms. The purpose of this report is to discuss and clarify how the concept of adequate/reassuring safety in parts of

The aim of this thesis is to make it simple and efficient to produce applications for smartphones. The main area of application is within the health care sector, where alarm receiving devices are needed to inform personnel of pending situations. Most medical alarm systems are unique and hence require a unique GUI (Graphical User Interface). However, at the core, the main functionality is to commun

Syfte: Uppsatsen har till syfte att undersöka hur styrelsearbetet har sett ut i nystartade innovationsföretag. Då det utförts relativt få undersökningar inom detta område, hoppas vi även kunna lägga grund för framtida forskning. Metod: Kvalitativ data har samlats in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. En iterativ ansats har valts. Teoretiska perspektiv: Utifrån befintliga teorier för bolagsstyrnin

The very recent catastrophe in Fukushima Japan has led to new incentives for promoting electricity generation through renewable energies in Germany. In this article the economic implications of those incentives for one German federal state, namely Mecklenburg – Western Pomerania, are highlighted. By `diving´ into this region and by applying several different forecasting methods as well as question

The management of the mining sector in Sierra Leone is characterised by numerous integrations of government and donor agency policies, resembling that of global development agendas advocating for improvements of governance, transparency, capacity building and revenue generation. We must view the global policies in their local scales in order to substantiate their actual effects. The central argu

This study is based on a field study conducted in Lima, Peru. The field study was financed by the MFS (Minor field study) scholarship of SIDA. My intention was to illuminate the street child’s process, as an actor in interaction with its surrounding environmental systems, to leave the streets of Lima, Peru. The questions that were related to this aim were how structural aspects, such as changes in

Using a questionnaire method amongst the volunteers in Malmoe, I have collected 93 answers on the reasons to why they became volunteers. As a theoretical framework I use Pierre Bourdieu’s declaration of symbolic, social and cultural capital to catch the non-
