3. 12. Land Reform, Trust and Natural Resource Management in Africa

   Författare :Precious Zikhali; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Africa; Agricultural productivity; Bioeconomic model; Dynamic analysis; Land reform; Ethnicity; Ethnic nepotism; Investments; Mopane worm; Restrictive harvest period policy; Tenure security; Trust; Zimbabwe.;

   Sammanfattning : Four self-contained papers constitute this thesis. Paper I investigates what impact Zimbabwe’s Fast Track Land Reform Programme, launched in 2000 as part of an ongoing land reform and resettlement programme aimed at addressing a racially skewed land distribution, has had on its beneficiaries’ perceptions of land tenure security and subsequent decisions to invest in soil conservation.

   Sammanfattning : New technologies for the extraction of valuable ocean resources are emerging: renewable ocean energy. Ocean energy technologies have so far primarily been developed in industrialized countries but will be deployed in both industrialized and developing countries. LÄS MER

7. 15. Modelling the hydrokinetic energy resource for in-stream energy converters

   Författare :Emilia Lalander; Ole Gunnar Dahlhaug; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Sammanfattning : Hydrokinetic energy, referring to the energy contained in moving water, is a renewable energy source that has gained much attention the past years. The energy is found in all moving water masses, but is only economical to convert for water masses moving with high velocity, i.e. likely around 1 m/s and above. LÄS MER
