Essays on Gender Issues, Food Security, and Technology Adoption in East Africa.

Abstract in UndeterminedThis thesis consists of five self-contained papers: Paper 1: Are there systematic gender differences in the adoption of joint sustainable intensification practices? Evidence from Kenya This paper uses household- and plot-level data to test whether there are systematic gender differences in the adoption of joint sustainable intensification practices in Kenya. Using a multiva

Vulnerability and nationalism: The support for the war against Iraq in five established states

Popular Abstract in English This dissertation attempts to answer the question of why the 2003 armed conflict against Iraq received such varied support within the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France and Spain. This is achieved by introducing a model in which the support for armed conflict is connected to elite persuasion operating in particular contexts. This model is tested in a cThis dissertation attempts to answer the question of why the 2003 armed conflict against Iraq received such varied support within the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, France and Spain. This is achieved by introducing a model in which the support for armed conflict is connected to elite persuasion operating in particular contexts. This model is tested in a comparative study, using inte

How fast are the two-dimensional gaussian waves?

For a stationary two-dimensional random field evolving in time, we derive the intensity distributions of appropriately defined velocities of crossing contours. The results are based on a generalization of the Rice formula. The theory can be applied to practical problems where evolving random fields are considered to be adequate models. We study dynamical aspects of deep sea waves by applying the d

The Role of Diasporas in peace, Democracy and Development in the Horn of Africa

Introduction: Transnationalism and migration Ulf Johansson Dahre The 5th annual Somalia International Rehabilitation Centre (SIRC) Conference of the Horn of Africa focused on “The Role of Diasporas in Peace, Democracy and Development”. The conference was held in Lund, Sweden, August 19-20, 2006. The content of this volume reflects some of the views and proceedings presented at the conference. I

Fast and accurate ACLR estimation method

The paper presents theory and simple expressions to estimate adjacent-channel leakage power ratio (ACLR or ACPR) with WCDMA signals that greatly simplify the design of analog circuits. High accuracy is obtained when the AM/AM and AM/PM conversion can be modeled by a polynomial of reasonable order. Results based on a power amplifier and a low-noise amplifier give less than 1dB estimation error for
