Reconstructions and simulations disagree on whether the Holocene exhibited a long-term cooling or warming signal. Anthropogenic land-use could be an important forcing regionally, but available population-based estimates differ widely. We examine transient Holocene climate model simulations forced with three population-based disturbed-land reconstructions and compare this with a fourth scenario der
Global health spending share of low/middle income countries continues its long-term growth. BRICS nations remain to be major drivers of such change since 1990s. Governmental, private and out-of-pocket health expenditures were analyzed based on WHO sources. Medium-term projections of national health spending to 2025 were provided based on macroeconomic budgetary excess growth model. In terms of per
This paper addresses the question why socio-technical transitions followsimilar trajectories in various parts of the world, even though the relevant material preconditions and institutional contexts vary greatly between different countries. It takes a critical stance on the implicit methodological nationalism in transition studies’ socio-technical regime concept and proposes an alternative ‘global
One of the few and most complete records of the MDICE (Middle Darriwilian Isotope Carbon Excursion) is herein documented from Baltoscandia. Based on a core section penetrating the condensed Lower–Middle Ordovician succession (~46 m) on the island of Öland, southeastern Sweden, we provide an integrated scheme for carbon isotope chemostratigraphy (313 samples) and conodont biostratigraphy (29 sample
Corruption is generally considered to affect firm innovation negatively. Yet recent scholarship is indicating that corruption may yield positive effects on innovation practices by removing certain barriers associated with starting up or operating businesses. The differing perspectives on the impact of corruption on firm innovation have engendered two contrasting hypotheses: the ‘sand-the-wheels’ a
Brottet folkmord kallas i folkmun för "brottets brott", vilket tyder på dess allvar och dess status som en jus cogens-norm i internationell rätt. Den nuvarande rättsliga definitionen av folkmord omfattar dock endast fysiska och biologiska handlingar, till skillnad från den ursprungliga definitionen som betonade innebörden av kulturellt folkmord. Denna uppsats syftar till att undersöka omThe crime of genocide is popularly referred to as “the crime of crimes”, indicating its severity and its status as a jus cogens norm of international law. However, the current legal definition of genocide solely incriminates physical and biological acts of genocide, unlike the original definition that emphasized the significance of cultural genocide. This essay aims to investigate whether the lega
High-frequency in situ measurements at Gosan (Jeju Island, Korea) during November 2007 to December 2008 have been combined with interspecies correlation analysis to estimate national emissions of halogenated compounds (HCs) in East Asia, including the chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), halons, hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulfur hexafluoride (SF6),
