Fertile grounds? : Collective strategies and the political ecology of soil management in Uganda

Popular Abstract in Swedish Denna avhandling tar sin utgångspunkt i frågor kring markförstörelse och minskad bördighet inom småskaligt jordbruk i Afrika söder om Sahara. Genom empirisk forskning bland småbrukare i Tororo i sydöstra Uganda pekar avhandlingen på olika former av kollektiva strategier på lokal nivå för att hantera förändrade försörjningsvillkor. I en ansats att samproducera kunskap meProceeding from land degradation and soil fertility decline in sub-Saharan African smallholder agriculture and drawing on empirical research with smallholder farmers in Tororo district in south-eastern Uganda (2010-2012), this thesis identifies local collective strategies in response to changing livelihood conditions. In an attempt to co-produce knowledge with a transformative potential, the thesi

Localised deformation patterning in 2D granular materials revealed by digital image correlation

Tests have been performed on an analogue two-dimensional granular material in a special laboratory apparatus that allows the application of general stress or strain conditions. Digital image correlation of pairs of consecutive photographs taken during the tests has enabled fields of displacement and hence strain to be determined. Thus direct observation of internal displacements and strains has be
