How do drivers react to partisan bumper stickers? Understanding polarization in apolitical settings
Introduction The impact of political polarization is no longer confined to the voting booth, and partisan identity can shape behavior even in seemingly apolitical spaces. In this paper we investigate whether something as simple as seeing a partisan bumper sticker can trigger partisan identity and lead to different driving behavior. Methods We use a survey experiment to simulate a variety of realistic encounters with partisan bumper stickers. Spec…
An actor-centered, scalable land system typology for addressing biodiversity loss in the world’s tropical dry woodlands
Land use is a key driver of the ongoing biodiversity crisis and therefore also a major opportunity for its mitigation. However, appropriately considering the diversity of land-use actors and activities in conservation assessments and planning is challenging. As a result, top-down conservation policy and planning are often criticized for a lack of contextual nuance widely acknowledged to be required for effective and just conservation action. To a…
The Benefits of Utilizing Total Body Composition as a Predictor of Cardiorespiratory Fitness Based on Age
Maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) has been associated with body fat percentage (%BF) or fat free mass. However, most analyses do not consider total body composition (TBC) as defined by %BF, fat free mass index (FFMI—a height-adjusted measure of muscle mass), visceral adipose tissue, and bone mineral content (BMC). The aim of this study was to determine if TBC predicts cardiorespiratory fitness in healthy adults and if a relationship exists in y…
Degrading permafrost river catchments and their impact on Arctic Ocean nearshore processes
Arctic warming is causing ancient perennially frozen ground (permafrost) to thaw, resulting in ground collapse, and reshaping of landscapes. This threatens Arctic peoples' infrastructure, cultural sites, and land-based natural resources. Terrestrial permafrost thaw and ongoing intensification of hydrological cycles also enhance the amount and alter the type of organic carbon (OC) delivered from land to Arctic nearshore environments. These changes…
Impacts of land use on water quality and the viability of bivalve shellfish mariculture in the UK
This paper examines how land use affects water quality and how this impacts the viability of shellfish mariculture (marine aquaculture) in the UK through a synthesis of the current literature, stakeholder workshops and targeted engagement of cross-sector organisations across a case study in South West England. We examine the importance of water quality as a constraint for shellfish mariculture in South West England and explore how current and pro…
Agunbiraha wamutiñu iun hebelurun tumou baruwa garífuna
Ce travail se propose d'explorer le monde peu connu de la nation garifuna en Amérique centrale. Une étude historique et culturelle a pour but de répondre à la problématique suivante : dans quelle mesure la nation garifuna se caractérise-t-elle par une identité forte au sein de l'Amérique centrale ? Deux entretiens inédits avec deux membres de cette communauté afro-amérindienne apportent des éléments essentiels à la compréhension de la complexité …
Economic transformations in Cuba
After Raul Castro’s accession to the presidency of Cuba, the country has witnessed the most far-reaching process of economic reforms for more than five decades. The government has expanded the private and cooperative sectors, has passed a new foreign investment law, restructured most of its old debt and has sought to end the long-standing dispute with the USA. Yet economic performance has been poor and the country faces significant challenges and…
Desempenho econômico do Rio de Janeiro
Cet article analyse les dynamiques structurelles et conjoncturelles de l'économie de l'État de Rio de Janeiro entre 1996 et 2009 avec pour objectif de vérifier dans quelle mesure les investissements récents auront ou non la condition de transformer ces dynamiques en direction d'un nouveau cycle d'investissement vertueux. On a utilisé la méthode comparative para rapport à deux économies: celle du Brésil et celle de São Paulo. Le principal résultat…
