Assessment of sustainability performance based on SJOS We gathered historical data from 2000 to 2018 and analyzed national performance on five environmental footprints (relative to downscaled PBs) and 10 social indicators (relative to social foundations), informed by the SJOS (Fig. 3). Fig. 3: ...
Based on insights from other disciplines, we propose an approach to ITA that takes a constructivist, social-psychological perspective and integrates elements of theories of cognition, motivation and decision making. A central assumption in the proposed framework is that performance assessment is a ...
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a United Nations body, assesses the science on climate change through its regular assessment... White House Office of Science and Technology Policy provides in-house science advice for the president Presidents need science advice. From climate ...
Risk of bias was assessed via small study, randomization, sequencing, performance and attrition bias. Touch interventions were especially effective in regulating cortisol levels (Hedges’ g = 0.78, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.24 to 1.31) and increasing weight (0.65, 95% CI 0.37 to 0.94...

(GGB) on a public site. In order to assess the efficiency of the implemented solutions, a multi-criteria method was developed, thereby recognising this research aspect as necessary in the process of designing urban built-up spaces. The assessment compared indicators of biological activity in the ...
The accelerating pace of ecosystem decline and societal response makes nature loss as urgent a problem as climate change. To manage the risks that nature loss can cause, businesses must first determine where such risks might arise—starting with an assessment of their own nature dependencies...
Through the use of scientific methods, an assessment index system adapted to the characteristics of Chinese music tutoring schools is constructed. The performance appraisal indicators are collected through expert consultation and literature review, and then the appraisal indicators are screened, ...
A comprehensive assessment of current methods for measuring metacognition Measuring metacognitive ability is one of the enduring challenges in cognitive science. The current paper develops formal tests of the quality of different measures and assesses how current metrics perform on these tests. ...
