There is growing interest in using indigenous knowledge to supplement scientific early warning systems within disaster risk reduction. In October 2016, the government in Baringo County, Kenya incorporated indigenous knowledge in a drought scenario building and response-planning workshop. Specifically, three indigenous forecasters provided weather forecasts using star movements and goat intestines.

The many challenges of our time call for changes in regional economies, increasingly motivating scholars to dive deep into the mechanisms and possibilities for delivering such change. However, the link between regional change and people’s well-being has often been neglected, assuming that new job opportunities, green industrial path development, or higher-value economic activities are inherently g

On 29 October 2023, Turkey will celebrate the centenary of the proclamation of the Republic. This promises to be a spectacular and carefully politized event, in line with earlier celebrations of National Days and other “defining moments” in the state’s autobiography (such as the conquest of Istanbul – celebrated in ever-aggrandising scale under the AKP-government). In official historiography, the

Self-organization and pattern formation represent the emergence of order in temporal and spatial processes. Self-organization in population ecology is gaining attention due to the recent advances concerning temporal fluctuations in the population size of dispersal-linked subunits. We shall report that spatially structured models of population renewal promote the emergence of a complex power law or

Preparing travel time data can be a time-consuming process, which greatly limits the flexibility of transport simulation models. In the current paper, we present an approach to integrate a routing engine locally in an existing modeling framework, hence enabling to dynamically calculate travel times in the constructed emergency medical services (EMS) simulation models. This integration eliminates t

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) is widely considered to be beneficial for the host economy since it can result in positive externalities (spillover effects) through various transmission channels, for instance, transfer of technology, increased competition and imitation effects. This study analyses intra- industry spillover effects of FDI in the pharmaceutical industry in India. A literature review

Historically , the fire safety code systems now in force had to be written without actually stating their objective level of safety and, still far less , without any analytical measurement of the objectives involved. For this reason, there is an urgent need for future attempts to evaluate the levels of safety inherent in present local and national fire protection regulations. Lack of knowledge wit

This thesis explores the problem of domestic violence in Ghana from a socio-legal perspective. It investigates the tensions that arise from the application of customary and state law in order to understand why domestic violence, persist and continues being prevalent in communities in Ghana. It draws on living law theory. Based on a multi-sited research qualitative design, interviews were conducted

PURPOSE: Owing to physical inaccessibility persons with mobility restrictions and other functional limitations often face problems in public environments, leading to restrictions in activity and participation. To investigate general accessibility and perceived problems of accessibility to the public environment in a town centre, as well as visiting preferences to public facilities, among teenagers

Accountability to stakeholders has always been pivotal in supporting nonprofit organizations in legitimizing their existence within local communities and building public trust. The development of Web-based accountability tools has offered growing possibilities to communicate and engage in dialogue with stakeholders. However, nonprofit organizations are not yet fully exploiting the potential of the

Emerging wireless sensor and actuator network (WSAN) technology has the potential to enable semi-autonomous air-flow control to improve the aerodynamic performance of aircraft. In this paper, a WSAN topology comprising of multiple linear sensor clusters terminated by actuators is proposed for active flow control. Two interference aware convergecast scheduling strategies are presented and analyzed,

In an influential paper, Hansen (Rethinking the Univariate Approach to Unit Root Testing: Using Covariates to Increase Power, Econometric Theory 11, 1148–1171, 1995) shows that covariate augmentation can lead to substantial power gains when compared to univariate tests. In this paper we ask if this result extends also to the panel data context? The answer turns out to be yes, which is maybe not th

Human impact on wildfires, a major earth system component, remains poorly understood. While local studies have found more fires close to settlements and roads, assimilated charcoal records and analyses of regional fire patterns from remote-sensing observations point to a decline in fire frequency with increasing human population. Here, we present a global analysis using three multi-year satellite-

This work is theoretical analyses of heat transfer across film a flowing over the surface of a rotating disk. This field has wide industrial applications in Turbomachinery, chemical, and food industries. An analytical study is developed to investigate the heat transfer characteristics in the liquid film due to jet impinging at the center of the disk. A theoretical model is based on heat balance an

This paper looks at trust as an object of historical analysis in micro-credit exchanges at the village level before the advent of capitalism. Based on the examination of loans recorded by the notary over the course of the eighteenth century, this paper seeks to shed light not only on the mechanisms of norms of cooperation and trust but also, and more importantly, on the paradigm of trust over time

We present how the microenvironment can directly improve biocatalytic selectivity of immobilized β-glucosidase. β-Glucosidase from Thermotoga neapolitana was immobilized on a variety of functionalized off-stoichiometric thiol-ene (OSTE) particles, where highest activities were observed for thiol and imidazole functional particles. Compared to the soluble enzyme, the selectivity (rs/rh) between tra
