Despite shrinking civic space, civil society organisations (CSOs) in Uganda continue to shape pathways toward sustainable and inclusive agricultural transformation. This paper explores why and how CSOs use non-confrontational strategies, particularly advocacy to influence policy and institutional processes regarding agricultural development. It draws on in-depth interviews with CSO actors, includi
This study investigates the role of below-cloud evaporation and evapotranspiration for the short-term variability of stable isotopes in near-surface water vapor and precipitation associated with central European cold fronts. To this end, a combination of observations with high temporal resolution and numerical sensitivity experiments with the isotope-enabled regional weather prediction model COSMO
Contemporary precipitation patterns in the Caribbean region are spatially variable, and the small number of Holocene paleoclimatic records may not adequately capture patterns of variation in the past. The hydrological history of Grenada was inferred from paleolimnological analyses of sediment cores from two crater lakes on the island. The basins were formed by volcanic activity some time during th
Background: Poor mental health predicts sexual risk behaviours in high-income countries, but little is known about this association in low-income settings in sub-Saharan Africa where HIV is prevalent. This study investigated whether depression, psychological distress and alcohol use are associated with sexual risk behaviours in young Ugandan adults. Method: Household sampling was performed in two
As a global society we are entering an era where land areas and land-based resources are coming to the fore once again for capital accumulation and economic growth, for the first time since the end of the 18th century when Malthus forecasted a contradiction between population growth and agricultural output. That constraint on economic growth, imposed by limited land areas, was overcome by the comb
Peat deposits from the littoral part of the wetland 2nd Pond on Nightingale Island in the central South Atlantic have been analysed to investigate the Holocene climate development on the island and to test a hypothesis about regionally persistent humidity variations. A variety of proxies were analysed - total carbon and nitrogen, biogenic silica, diatoms, amount of organic matter, macrofossils and
We used the Aerosol Dynamics gas- and particle-phase chemistry model for laboratory CHAMber studies (ADCHAM) to simulate the contribution of BVOC plant emissions to the observed new particle formation during photooxidation experiments performed in the Julich Plant-Atmosphere Chamber and to evaluate how well smog chamber experiments can mimic the atmospheric conditions during new particle formation
Popular Abstract in Swedish Medeltemperatur på jorden har stigit med ca 0.6 ºC sedan 1900-talets början. Denna ökning beror mycket sannolikt på människans utsläpp av växthusgaser så som t.ex. koldioxid. Under det kommande århundradet räknar man med att jordens medeltemperatur kommer att stiga ytterligare 1.4-5.8 ºC. Både temperaturhöjningen och koldioxidhaltens ökning i atmosfären kan påverka vegeSome components of the below-ground carbon (C) cycle in terrestrial ecosystems are still poorly understood. A better understanding will be necessary to predict adequately the impacts of global change factors on C cycling and storage, especially in high-latitude ecosystems, where much of the C is stored below-ground. In this work some of the mechanisms of the below-ground C cycle in subarctic ecosy
Most atmospheric motions of different spatial scales and precipitation are closely related to phase transitions in clouds. The continuously increasing resolution of large-scale and mesoscale atmospheric models makes it feasible to treat the evolution of individual clouds. The explicit treatment of clouds requires the simulation of cloud microphysics. Two main approaches describing cloud microphysi
The aim of this study was to achieve realistic levels of two different types of aerosols commonly abundant in indoor environments in an experimental chamber intended for human exposure studies and aerosol characterization. The aerosols chosen were particles from candle lights (in particle number dominated by inorganic water soluble particles) and from ozone-terpene reactions (organic particles). T
The Fine Resolution Explorer for Salinity, Carbon and Hydrology (FRESCH) is presented. The science case and the mission objectives are discussed before presenting the mission concept. FRESCH is an L-band antenna array operated in beamforming mode providing data at a spatial resolution of 10-15 km to study the biogeochemical and physical phenomena taking place at the interfaces of ocean, land and i

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are promising tools to protect and restore marine ecosystems among a global biodiversity loss crisis, yet their socio-ecological effectiveness can be limited by a lack of stakeholder participation in their governance. This thesis examines the case of participatory governance in Germany’s three exclusive economic zone (EEZ) MPAs in the North Sea. Drawing on participato
Food loss and waste (FLW) is an urgent global challenge. France pioneered in implementing a binding legal framework that incentivises supermarkets to donate their surplus to charities. In this thesis, I combine responsibilisation theory and a feminist political ecology lens to investigate previously overshadowed aspects of this law. I demonstrate that the responsibility for food waste (FW) managem
