Dichotomy or continuum? A global review of the interaction between autonomous and planned adaptations
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/173421
Abstract
Adaptation to climate change is often conceptualized as a dichotomy, with responses being either planned (formal and structured) or autonomous (organic and self-organized, often known as “everyday adaptation”). Recent literature on adaptation responses has highlighted the existence and importance of the interplay between autonomous and planned adaptation, but examination of this…

Secondary data analysis using evidence-based bayesian networks with an application to investigate the determinants of childhood stunting
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/173693
Abstract
Secondary data – data previously collected by other researchers for a different purpose – offers a cost-effective and readily available resource for research and policy or program design but presents challenges due to the lack of control of sampling design or data. Bayesian Networks (BN) are well-suited for guiding secondary data analysis as their…
