  1. 1. Agriculture, climate change, and adaptation in Morocco : A computable general equilibrium analysis

    Författare :Ismail Ouraich; Purdue University; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Economics; Nationalekonomi;

    Sammanfattning : The empirical analysis in this dissertation comprises two essays investigating the impacts of climate change on agriculture in Morocco, with an emphasis on climate uncertainty and robust adaptation.^ The first essay in Chapter 4 provides estimates of economic impacts of climate change, and estimates on the extent to which the current Moroccan agricultural development and investment strategy, the Plan Maroc Vert (PMV), could help in agricultural adaptation to climate change and uncertainty.

  3. 2. Stabilisation of electron dense transition metal hydrogen complexes in the solid state

    Författare :Malin Olofsson-Mårtensson; Donald E Linn; Stockholms universitet; []
    Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; strukturkemi; Structural Chemistry;

    Sammanfattning : The formation, structure and bonding in the solid state homoleptic palladium-hydrogen complexes; K2[PdIIH4], Li2[Pd0H2], Na2[Pd0H2], NaBa[Pd0H3], Sr2[Pd0H4] and Ba2[Pd0H4]have been studied by means of X-ray and neutron diffraction, infrared-, Raman-, and inelastic neutron spectroscopy.The results from these investigations combined with theoretical calculations have identified a new stabilisation model for electron dense transition metal hydrogen complexes which is described in this thesis.

  4. 3. Women in rural communities : Peasants, patriarchy and the local economy in Northeast France, 1650-1789

    Författare :Elise Dermineur; James Farr; USA Indiana West Lafayette Purdue University; []
    Nyckelord :Women; gender; peasants; early modern France; historia; History;

    Sammanfattning : This dissertation investigates gender relationships and the role of women in French rural society in the seventeenth and eighteenth century from two different perspectives—economic and socio-legal. I not only show female peasants’ social importance as I demonstrate that they had a prominent role not only within their respective households but also within their communities, but I also demonstrate that women were not as passive and submissive as the traditional historiography and common assumptions have asserted.
