Simulating International Climate Negotiations in Classrooms
A simulation of the international climate negotiations was designed for more than 50 students of political science and other study programs dealing with sustainability. A key advantage of such simulations is that they are highly adaptable to groups of different sizes, academic backgrounds, or learning levels and can be used to teach a number of major concepts within the same framework. The primary
Digital Sustainability Education : Potential, Development Trends and Good Practices
Digital sustainability education (DSE) is becoming increasingly relevant in higher Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and spreads globally. DSE is fueled by the Covid-19-pandemic and urges lecturers, students and universities alike to break new ground in academic teaching. DSE impacts established approaches to ESD and raises questions of ... appropriate online teaching concepts, tools and

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, including the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and 169 targets, builds upon a novelapproach to global governance and towards sustainable development.Five years after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda, however, only limitedprogress has been made to achieve the goals and targets. The COVID-19pandemic further hampers the implementation of sustainable

Alcohol drinking, social class, cancer occurrence and complications after surgical procedures.
This chapter reviews the data on occurrence of cancers that are potentially caused by alcohol drinking (cancers of the upper gastrointestinal and respiratory tracts, and liver cancer) in relation to social class. In order to assess the role of alcohol drinking in the observed social class gradients of these cancers, we have particularly looked for consistency in the gradients of different alcohol-
Intestinal obstruction after appendectomy
Background: The frequency of intestinal obstruction varies in the literature (0.2-10.7%) and requires evaluation in a proper design. Methods: From 1978 to 1985, 1951 patients underwent appendectomy; 58 patients were excluded because of appendectomy per occasionem, 156 because of previous laparotomy, and 190 because of simultaneous major surgery. Three foreigners were lost to follow-up. The cohort

Thromboembolism is a serious complication of surgery and prophylaxis is therefore recommended. This study examines a new aspect of the problem, the incidence of thromboembolism after day-case surgery. From 1982 to 1992, 2281 patients underwent day-case repair for inguinal hernia management. Hospital admission for thromboembolism within the first 30 days after surgery was identified by computer lin
Postoperative thromboembolism after day-case herniorrhaphy

Data on the association between alcohol abuse and cancer morbidity are scarce in large cohorts of non-hospitalized alcoholic men an women. Of 18,368 alcohol abusers who entered an out-patient clinic in Copenhagen between 1954-1987, 18,307 were followed. Their cancer incidence was compared to that of the total Danish population. The overall morbidity of cancer was significantly increased among alco
Monitoring and Evaluation as a Way to Complete and to Implement a Policy : The Case of Brazilian National Innovation Policy
The present National Innovation Policy (henceforth called PNI) was instituted in Brazil by Decree No. 10.537, of October 28, 2020, within the federal public administration. The policy's objective is to guide, coordinate and articulate strategies, programs, and actions across several public entities to foster innovation in the productive sector. Thus, it aims to increase the productivity and compet
Evaluation As A Mean To Communicate Society Of The Benefits Of Investing In Big Science In A Developing Country : The Brazilian Sirius Project
This study reports an impact evaluation carried out for a large-scale research infrastructure, the Brazilian Sirius Synchrotron Light Source, one of two fourth-generation synchrotron light sources in the world. We focus on the economic impacts and spillovers resulting from highly qualified procurements presented to different types of suppliers who participated in the design and construction proces

On the Chemical Romance Between Gas and Surface, and how to Illuminate it
An increasing number of catalysis experiments are conducted at higher pressures to bridge the pressure gap. This means that we need to measure not only the sample surface but also the gas phase around the sample with spatial resolution. This thesis treats the development and applications of two optical techniques that can be used to image the surface of a model catalyst together with the surroundi
In Defense of Comparisons: Russia and the Transmutations of Imperialism in International Law
While Western imperialism played a crucial role in the creation of modern international law, it is ever more important to analyze the engagements of non-Western imperialist powers with the field so as to comprehend the changing global patterns of legalized violence and expansionism. In this Essay, we analyze Russia's international legal arguments in support of its use of force against Ukraine thro
How the Kremlin circumvented EU sanctions on Russian state media in the first weeks of the illegal invasion of Ukraine
This forum article is about the EU’s sanctions levelled at Russian state media, and the steps the Kremlin took to ensure its war propaganda continued to reach Europe. The article examines Kremlin efforts to coordinate cross-platform influence operations on Telegram, as well as the role of digital diplomacy accounts in partially replacing state media reach. This leads to a discussion on the role of
Does Public Diplomacy Need a Theory of Disruption? : The Role of Nonstate Actors in Counter-branding the Swedish COVID-19 Response
Public diplomacy (PD) scholars tend to consider two main principals: the country or agent that conducts PD (Actor A), and target groups in the host country in which PD is conducted (Actor B). The field currently lacks theories of how communications between Actors A and B can be disrupted by a third party, such as a group of motivated trolls, an organised advocacy group, or a hostile country and it

Mechanical complications after central venous catheterisation in the ultrasound-guided era : a prospective multicentre cohort study
BACKGROUND: Limited data are available on the incidence of mechanical complications after ultrasound-guided central venous catheterisation. We aimed to determine the incidence of mechanical complications in hospitals where real-time ultrasound guidance is clinical practice for central venous access and to identify variables associated with mechanical complications.METHODS: All central venous cathe
Modelling water and energy fluxes with an explicit representation of irrigation under mulch in a maize field
Globally, water-saving irrigation plays a vital role in agricultural ecosystems to achieve sustainable food production under climate change. Irrigation under mulch (IUM) system has been widely used in modern agricultural ecosystems due to its high water use efficiency, but it remains unclear how each component of the water and energy processes responds to this agricultural management practice.
