Climate Change, Adaptation and Formal Education: The Role of Schooling for Increasing Societies' Adaptive Capacities

With a worldwide increase in disasters, the effects of climate change are already being felt, and it is the urban poor in developing countries that are most at risk. There is an urgent need to better understand the factors that determine people’s capacity to cope with and adapt to adverse climate conditions. This paper examines the influence of formal education in determining the adaptive capacity

Strong Participator Channels in the Non-Radiative Resonant Decay of B 1s Excitation in B2O3

We observe and analyze a considerable enhancement of photoelectron intensity of the valence band features in solid B2O3 upon tuning the photon energy across the B 1s → π*2pz resonance. This enhancement is an evidence of the strong 2p electron correlations in pre-edge photoionization dynamics in boron oxide. Such strength of the correlation is unusual for a solid, whose valence band is composed of

Software Product Quality in Global Software Development: Finding Groups with Aligned Goals

The development of a software product in an organization involves various groups of stakeholders who may prioritize the qualities of the product differently. This paper presents an empirical study of 65 individuals in different roles and in different locations, including on shoring, outsourcing and off shoring, prioritizing 24 software quality aspects. Hierarchical cluster analysis is applied to t

Law, Community and the 2011 London Riots

Can local communities on the margins of society be charged with the responsibility of maintaining their own social order? What type of law (if any) can bring social order to these communities? Using semi-structured interviews with social workers, police officers, lawyers and other professionals familiar with the Tottenham riots, this chapter offers an inside view into what community means in a run
