A Mixed-Methods Approach to Unpacking Joint Decisions about Agricultural Production in Nicaragua and Colombia by García, María Alejandra, Godek, Wendy, Twyman, Jennifer

“…The study had a twofold purpose of: 1) better informing agricultural researchers and other development researchers/practitioners about how households make agricultural decisions to aid in project and research design and 2) related to research design, to help researchers to better design instruments to measure household decision-making (e.g., surveys) that take into account findings about men and women’s perceptions about (joint) decision-making and their individual interpretations of questions related to decision-making. …”

Effekter av landskapets sammansättning på humlearters förekomst by Lindberg, Mikaela

“…The purpose of this study is 1) to assess changes in the species composition of bumblebees in twenty different places in Norway that have been inventoried first one time between 1939-1960 and the second time in 2012, and 2) to relate species richness and distributions to current landscape composition with the aid of orthophotos. In this study, I have used regression analyzes on the different bumblebee species that were present or absent at the inventory, using the premises of the following variables: low or high altitude, latitude, longitude and seven different types of land use (farmland, building/plots, open land/pasture, forest, wetland and open or snow-covered ground above the tree line) to see if there was any relationship between each species and the different variables. …”
