Finance ministries are increasingly involved in UN climate finance negotiations,yet this development received very limited attention in the literature on climate finance or climate negotiations. It is not obvious from the literature on bureaucratic politics how these ministries will position themselves on climate finance: they may frame climate finance as expenditure to be limited or as an instrum
Very few countries have managed to decouple economic growth from greenhouse gas emissions in absolute terms and where this was achieved at rates too slow to meet the climate targets of the Paris agreement. To do so, technological solutions would need to be combined with sufficiency-oriented policies in a post growth context. Contributing to such a policy strategy, this paper explores the potential
Dyskinesia seen in the off-state, referred as graft-induced dyskinesia (GID), has emerged as a serious complication induced by dopamine (DA) cell transplantation in parkinsonian patients. Although the mechanism underlying the appearance of GID is unknown, in a recent clinical study the partial 5-HT(1A) agonist buspirone was found to markedly reduce GID in three grafted patients, who showed signifi
Popular Abstract in Swedish Hur gick det till när det svenska riket expanderade norrut och införlivade Hälsingland? Denna bok är uppställd som en generalhypotes över denna långt utdragna process, som tar sin utgångspunkt i den samhälleliga kollaps som är skönjbar under 500-talet. De inhemska maktstrukturer som gradvis byggdes upp efteråt kom under medeltidens inledande århundraden att få känna på In which way did the power structures of central Sweden expand into the territories north of the forest Ödmården during the Middle Ages? This text reads like a general hypothesis for this process, which attempts to incorporate all relevant elements in the Medieval landscape of power. The study area chosen is the province of Hälsingland. The chronological take-off is the 6th century AD, when settle
Stable isotope analysis (N and C) of fossil cereal grains is regularly explored as a means of obtaining insights to past crop growing conditions and agricultural practices. In this study, we assessed how several growth conditions can affect δ15N and δ13C values of modern cereal grain with the aim to help understand isotopic values from ancient cereal remains. We investigated the impact of fertiliz
Fuel Taxes and the Poor challenges the conventional wisdom that gasoline taxation, an important and much-debated instrument of climate policy, has a disproportionately detrimental effect on poor people. Increased fuel taxes carry the potential to mitigate carbon emissions, reduce congestion, and improve local urban environment. As such, higher gasoline taxes could prove to be a fundamental part of
Popular Abstract in Swedish Vetskap om strömning av vätskor och gaser är viktigt i dagens samhälle, vilket inkluderar transport i rör, förbränning, och flödesinducerade vibrationer. På grund av sin flyktiga form är möjligheten att kontrollera flöden i diverse applikationer begränsad. Strömning kan vara väldigt svårt att beskriva och kategorisera, speciellt då höga hastigheter är inblandade. HastigThis thesis presents the utilization of two different decomposition techniques, proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) and dynamic mode decomposition (DMD), for enhanced understanding of flow structures and their stability. The advantages of these techniques are shown for a range of flow situations, most of which are turbulent. It is shown that by these methods additional insight into complex flow
Background and aims: Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are ubiquitous in wetland habitats, but their diversity and distribution pattern in these habitats is poorly understood. Under varying hydrological conditions, AMF communities in roots of different wetland species may respond differently due to hydrological and to physiological differences among plants. Here we test this hypothesis.Methods: A
Anomaly detection is becoming a powerful and necessary component as wireless networks gain popularity. In this paper, we evaluate the efficacy of PCA based anomaly detection for wireless mesh networks (WMN). PCA based method [1] was originally developed for wired networks. Our experiments show that it is possible to detect different types of anomalies, such as Denial-of-service (DoS) attack, port
Irish peat soils are extensive, covering approximately 14-20% of the national land area. They contain between 53% and 62% of the national soil organic carbon stock. Montane blanket bog covers approximately 25% or 242650ha of the total peatland area in Ireland and is the dominant peatland type covering the upland area of Wicklow. Blanket bogs are very sensitive systems and have experienced much dis
Understanding, monitoring and mitigating drought is a very difficult task as a consequence of the intrinsic nature of the phenomenon. In addition, assessing the impact of drought on ecosystems and societies is also a complex task, because the same drought severity may have different consequences in different regions and systems due to the underlying vulnerabilities. New technologies based on geosp
We present multiple-epoch radial-velocity observations for 104 stars in a field of the intermediate-age open cluster IC 4651 to . Only 13 stars (13%) of the full sample are field stars. From the 44 single member stars we find a mean radial velocity of , and the 12 single red-giant members yield a true radial-velocity dispersion of . Of the 19 giant members, 7 (37%) are spectroscopic binaries with
Gender-based violence survivors have barriers to access to justice around the globe. However, States are responsible for removing those barriers and ensuring that everyone can access needed services and justice without discrimination regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, race, nationality, disability, or age. Turkey is no exception with its international commitments and domestic laws to
The social services treatment and assessment play a major role in family law, and something that affects this is notions of parenthood. The purpose of this study was therefore to examine social workers descriptions of parenthood with a main focus on how they portray female and male caregivers. Five social workers from both small and large cities in Sweden, who work with child care investigations,
När två föräldrar separerar, måste de komma överens om vårdnad, boende och umgänge för deras gemensamma barn. I de fall föräldrarna inte kan nå en överenskommelse, kan domstol istället avgöra tvisten. De bestämmelser som rör vårdnad, boende och umgänge finns reglerade i 6 kap. FB och alla beslut ska fattas i enlighet med barnets bästa. Domstolen har i mål avseende vårdnad, boende och umgänge även When two parents separate, they must agree upon custody, residence and access for their common children. In cases where the parents are not successful in reaching an agreement, the Court can settle the dispute for them. The legal provisions relating to custody, residence and access are regulated in the Parental Code Chapter 6 and all decisions must be taken according to the best interests of the c
Context. The Gaia-ESO Public Spectroscopic Survey will observe a large sample of clusters and cluster stars, covering a wide age-distance-metallicity-position-density parameter space. Aims. We aim to determine C, N, and O abundances in stars of Galactic open clusters of the Gaia-ESO survey and to compare the observed abundances with those predicted by current stellar and Galactic evolution models.
Popular Abstract in Swedish Spädbarn med kolik – föräldrars upplevelse i ett kortare och ett längre perspektiv samt effekten av akupunktur på barnets skrik, ätande, avföringsmönster och sömn. Spädbarnskolik definieras som ett tillstånd där ett för övrigt friskt barn skriker och gnäller mer än tre timmar per dag mer än tre dagar i veckan. Kolik drabbar ca 10 % av nyfödda barn i västvärlden. Både bInfantile colic, involving an otherwise healthy infant crying and fussing more than three hours per day and more than three days per week, is a common problem in Western countries. Both the infant and the parents suffer during the months of persistent crying and there is a risk that the establishing of the early relationship might be disturbed. Safe and effective treatment that provides relief in
