So again the negative short-term results of the policy — more European coal use — could outweigh any longer-run benefits. Even the positive long-run effects are up for grabs. …the tariff hike…makes the exporting nations poorer than they otherwise would be. Poorer nations tend to be ...
In the ocean, while depth gradients in temperature allow some species to escape climate change, non-thermal constraints prevent many from shifting vertically15,34,42. Climate speeds are large in the Arctic, where the warming rate is high due to Arctic amplification43. Transport barriers imposed by...
Although the interest in long-term social change never disappeared, it faded into the background, especially when, from the 1920s until the 1950s, functionalism, emphasizing an interdependent social system, became the dominant paradigm both in anthropology and in sociology. “Social evolution” was...
Indirect losses are more challenging to measure since they rely on developing a counterfactual (a without-a-disaster scenario). Finally, impact is the total effect of a disaster, including both negative effects (e.g., direct losses) and positive ones (e.g., indirect economic gains). Impact ...
Finally, positive and negative connotations were attached to the observed landscape changes, typically when the landscape change triggered an alignment or distortion with instrumental or relational landscape values. For farmers in IEV, for example, the expansion of farming was both an opportunity to ...
Specifically, economical environmental regulation has a negative moderating effect, while legal and supervised environmental regulations have positive moderating effects. Finally, the national basic energy poverty line used is lower than that in the eastern region, higher than that in the western region,...
Using daily diaries, we assessed the occurrence of positive and negative agentic and communal events on 14 consecutive days at T1 and T2. Job beginners did not differ from the comparison group in their average self-esteem change, but their self-esteem increased or decreased to a much larger ...
The forecasts for the years 2041–2060 are not positive and continue to report an increase of around 23.8% in environmental emissions (Zhang et al., 2021). In turn, CO2 from construction materials that are usually used in urban areas causes a process called carbonization (Zhao et al., 2023...
Likewise, if rising temperatures drove megafauna extinctions, we expect a negative and statistically significant correlation between our megafauna population density and climate proxy, or, alternatively, if decreasing temperatures caused megafauna extinctions, a positive correlation between these two proxies. ...
We all make changes in our life from time to time. I have also made many changes in my life. What the change was? Here I would like to talk about a positive change that I made in my life recently. When it happened? This change is that I have started managing my time very effectiv...
