This study explores the nexus between financial inclusion and agricultural productivity in Tanzania, where agriculture is a key sector for the nation's economy and inclusive growth. Vulnerable to climate change, the sector faces productivity challenges due to rain anomalies and rising temperatures. Previous studies have highlighted financial inclusion as crucial for reducing vulnerability at t

In this thesis, it is examined how acoustic emissions produced by temperature changes in materials can be used to detect hidden structural fires. Experiments has been carried out with the aim of studying the possibilities of identifying the direction of the sound source in various wooden elements using contact microphones. The results shows that the method is valid in simpler wooden structures, bu

Simulering av cross-eye-störning på ett modernt radarsystem I en allt mer fientlig omvärld behövs nya metoder för att försvara mot fientliga angrepp. I detta examensarbetet har cross-eye-störning undersökts. Cross-eye-störning är en metod för att lura fiendens radar genom att skapa lateralt förskjutna skenmål. Cross-eye-störning har länge föreslagits som ett effektivt motmedel mot fienderadarns pIn an increasingly hostile world, nations and defense companies are racing to develop new techniques to counter hostile acts. With the Russo–Ukraine war raging in Europe, and with Sweden’s and Finland’s accession into NATO tensions are bound to stay high for the foreseeable future. This thesis explores the cross-eye jamming technique on a simulated modern radar system. The cross-eye jammer creates

This thesis explores the possibility of a socio-economic gradient in mortality during short-term economic stress in pre-industrial Swedish cities using the harvest failure in 1771-72 as an example of economic fluctuations/high prices. Using newly transcribed data in a logit model, the study finds results indicating that the poor and individuals in occupations categorized as “service and agricultur

This paper seeks to further explore the determinants that lead Nordic firms to raise capital through foreign debt issuance rather than domestic debt. Specifically, this study mainly analyzes the firm-specific and bond-specific factors that tend to influence firms to issue bonds in foreign markets. This paper uses quantitative data collection with a Deductive Research Approach. Both Linear Probabil

Återvinning av polymerer är nödvändig för hållbar livsföring och miljöförvaltning, och mekanisk återvinning har fördelen av mycket lägre energi- och materialförbruking jämfört med kemisk och fysisk återvinning. Ett framträdande problem med mekanisk återvinning är emellertid förkortningen av polymerkedjor som sker under deras livstid. Tekniken Reactive Recycling™ av Nexam Chemical innebär att återvRecycling of polymers is necessary for sustainable living and environmental stewardship, and mechanical recycling has the advantage of much lower energy and material demand compared to chemical and physical recycling. A prominent problem, however, with mechanical recycling is the shortening of polymer chains that occurs during their lifetime. The technology Reactive Recycling™ by Nexam Chemical in

The global land grab is fuelling a concentration of land in the hands of a few and (further) embeds land into the logic of capital. In the context of industrialised agriculture, it remains understudied who the different actors vying for control of land are and how farmers respond to these pressures. Hence, this thesis aims to study how land grabbing manifests in East Germany where large farms domi
