1. 1. Environmental history in southern Mozambique : Reconstruction of flooding events, hydroclimate and sea-level dynamics since mid-Holocene

   Författare :Sandra Raúl Sitoe; Jan Risberg; Elin Norström; Lars-Ove Westerberg; John Compton; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Southern Africa; Limpopo River floodplain; flooding event; sea-level change; climate change; diatoms; phytoliths; mineral magnetics; grain-size; radiocarbon dating; kvartärgeologi; Quaternary Geology;

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis has been to reconstruct paleoenvironment, paleohydrology and paleoclimate in coastal southern Mozambique, with emphasis on tracing past flooding events on the lower Limpopo River floodplain. In order to extend flood chronologies beyond periods covered by instrumental data, sediments from lakes on the floodplain were studied (Lake Lungué, Coassane Oxbow, Lake Magandane and Lake Soane).

3. 2. Changing Landscapes : An Environmental History of Chibuene, Southern Mozambique

   Författare :Anneli Ekblom; Paul Sinclair; Louis Scott; João Morais; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Archaeology; environmental history; archaeology; archaeobotany; paleoecology; vegetation history; pollen analysis; environmental management; environmental insecurity; resource utilisation; landscape; paleclimatology; trade; oral tradition; Mozambique; Vilanculos; Arkeologi; Archaeology subjects; Arkeologiämnen;

   Sammanfattning : This thesis analyses the dynamics of environmental change and its embeddedness in the long term interactions of social history and rainfall variability through the building of an environmental history of the Chibuene locality, the coastal plain of southern Mozambique, 5 km south of the town Vilanculos, from 400 AD to present day. Land-use practices over time are discussed on the basis of vegetation and land-use history based pollen analysis, charcoal influx and diatom analysis. LÄS MER

4. 3. METHODS FOR TRANSBOUNDARY WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN WATER STRESSED REGIONS – CASE STUDY: SOUTHERN AFRICA

   Författare :Dinis Juizo; Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära; []
   Nyckelord :TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; river basin simulation; water quality monitoring; stakeholders involvement; Southern Africa; South Africa; Mozambique; transboundary water systems; Swaziland;

   Sammanfattning : Water resources management in water scarce regions like the Southern Africa Development Community (SADC) is challenging with both large hydro-climatic-induced scarcity and the considerable inter-annual fluctuations at the centre of the allocation problem. Water must be allocated both in time and space using acceptable criteria and most importantly, all stakeholders must adhere to the decisions imposed by water sharing agreements. LÄS MER

5. 4. ‘How good is good?’ : Studies of facility-based childbirth care in southern Mozambique, from the perspectives of women and health providers

   Författare :Sibone Mocumbi; Claudia Hanson; Ulf Högberg; Anna Bergström; Esperança Sevene; Khátia Munguambe; Albrecht Jahn; Uppsala universitet; []
   Nyckelord :Facility-based childbirth; Obstetric fistula; Satisfaction with care; Health providers; Context assessment; Mozambique; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science;

   Sammanfattning : Despite the large shift toward facility-based childbirths occurred during the last 15 years in several low resource settings, including in Mozambique, the burden of maternal mortality and morbidity remain considerable. Obstetric fistula is one of the most devastating of all maternal morbidities which still prevalent and is entirely avoidable. LÄS MER

   Sammanfattning : The aim of this dissertation is to explore how and under what conditions life strategies of young men and women unfold in the towns of Masasi in southern Tanzania and Montepuez in northern Mozambique. These towns are located in regions which in their national contexts are perceived as peripheral and rural. LÄS MER
