Globally, 500 million smallholder farmers require finance to secure a more productive, efficient, sustainable, and inclusive food system. Thus far, traditional financial services have been unsuccessful in reaching these farmers. Yet, mobile money services are proposed as a potential tool for enabling smallholder farmers access to financial services. Nonetheless, this proposed impact of mobile mone
Latin American countries are among the happiest countries world-wide despite suffering from vast economic inequality at the same time. Addressing this alleged puzzle, this study analyses the effects of economic prosperity and inequality on happiness in Latin America. Using a pooled dataset of annual surveys from the Latinobarómetro between 2005 and 2018, an advanced three-level model with individu
Sammanfattning Den svenska arbetsmarknadsmodellen bygger på ett samarbete och samförstånd mellan arbetsmarknadens parter. Deras arbete ligger i att komma överens om lösningar på arbetsmarknadsrelaterade problem, utan inblandning av staten och utan att staten lagstiftar på området. Detta kallas för den svenska modellen, som mycket baseras på framförhandlade kollektivavtal. Kollektivavtal har en binAbstract The Swedish labour market is set to work through an understanding and consensus between the social partners, both on the employee and the employer side. The social partners are supposed to come to agreements on labour market related issues, without any intervention from the government in forms of legislations. This is called The Swedish Model, and is also based on by the social partners n

Artland är en reflektion kring relationen mellan människan och andra arter, samt en vision om hur stadslandskapet kan bli artrikare. Mängden vilda djur minskar drastiskt i världen, det är fler och fler arter som väljer staden som alternativt habitat och det finns ett behov av närnatur och sammanhängande gröna rum i den urbana kontexten. Detta ledde för mig fram till frågorna: Hur kan arkitekturArtland is a personal reflection on the relationship between the human being and other species, and a vision for how cities can be richer in species. The amount of wild animals decrease drastically all over the world, more and more species move into the city, there is a need for nature and green infrastructure in the urban setting for many species. This made me ask the questions: How can archite
Spatial analysis, playing an essential role in data mining, is applied in a considerable number of fields. It is because of its broad applicability that dealing with the interdisciplinary issues is becoming more prevalent. It aims at exploring the underlying patterns of the data. In this project, we will employ the methodology that we utilize to tackle spatial problems to investigate how the cell
Spread options have become very popular in basically every sector of the financial markets, although the pricing of these derivatives still remains a challenge. In this thesis we examine the pricing of spread options using the fast Fourier transform (FFT). We implement a FFT method derived by Hurd and Zhou [10] and investigate the performance of the method under three different market models: the
Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka och förstå de bakomliggande anledningarna till det finansieringsgap som existerar mellan sociala företag och impact investors. Vi vill göra detta främst ur de sociala entreprenörernas perspektiv, genom att studera deras agerande samt attityder gentemot impact investors och de krav de ställer. Vidare vill vi även undersöka den nuvarande situationen för imp
This project was performed in collaboration with CellaVision, a company that provides digital solutions for medical microscopy in hematology. Together with a hardware for blood analysis, CellaVision provides a software where cell images are displayed for further analysis. The user interface of this software was the focus of this research. With the aim to provide a suggestion of improvement for the
Tactile interaction plays an important role in human relationships, alleviating anxiety, stress and depression, through the release of endorphin and other physical functions. In several societies touch between people is either seen as a taboo or decreasing in behalf of the heavy use of technology. New parents are particularly affected by lack of touch (and consequential lack of intimacy) partially
There is a current debate regarding the existing problem with fighting dogs in Sweden. Some people claim fighting dogs to be dangerous breeds. They want to forbid them. The opponents claim the problem to be not within the dog itself but within the owners. They claim every breed and every dog, if not handled and trained right, to be dangerous. Both sides agree on the fact that there is a problem wi
Coronary heart diseases is one of the biggest health problems in the world today. By segmenting the coronary arteries in medical images and examining them, important information about abnormal narrowing and plaque, which are main causes to these diseases, can be found. Manual segmentation of the coronary arteries are time consuming and dependent on the observer, which makes the need of automatic s
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to analyze if and how advertising and gender equality in Sweden may affect and relate to each other. We want to analyze advertising images from 1950 ́s until 2016 and examine the relationship between different discourses. Method: This study uses a qualitative method where a feminist image analysis of advertising images are used to create a deeper understandin
Studien syfte var att undersöka upplevelser och självbilder kopplade till överskuldsättning hos överskuldsatta personer med psykisk ohälsa. Överskuldsättning, i studien definierat som en upplevelse av att inom överskådlig framtid inte kunna betala tillbaka sina skulder, är ett växande fenomen som uppvisar ett positivt samband med psykisk ohälsa. Studien baserades på intervjuer med nio respondenterThis study investigated experiences and self-images related to over-indebtedness among over-indebted individuals with mental health problems. Over-indebtedness is a growing phenomenon, here defined as the experience of not being able to pay one’s debts within a foreseeable future, that correlates positively with mental illness. The study was based on interviews with nine respondents and situated m
A growing number of environmental movements recognize the need for changing our spiritual approach to the environment, while we simultaneously witness a revival and development of ecotheologies and religiously motivated environmental initiatives. Islamic theological discourse on ecological issues is quite well studied, but less attention has been directed to how Islamic ecology has been translated
This study begins in the understanding of sustainable development as a complex matter open for interpretation, and continues in the notion that different dimensions of sustainability create different values that have different goals; meaning that they will sometimes unite, and sometimes collide and lead to trade-offs. The aim for this study is to add to the understanding of this matter through an
