Virtue and vulnerability: Discourses on women, gender and climate change - Arora-Jonsson, S. (Global Environmental Change, 2011)

Identifying suitable models for the heat dynamics of buildings - Bacher, Peder; Madsen, Henrik (Energy and Buildings, 2011)
The present paper suggests a procedure for identiﬁcation of suitable models for the heat dynamics of a building. Such a procedure for model identiﬁcation is essential for better usage of readings from smart meters, which is expected to be installed in almost all buildings in the coming years. The models can be used for diﬀerent purposes, e.g. control of the indoor climate, forecasting of energy consumption, and for accurate description of energy performance of the building. Grey-box models based on prior physical knowledge and data-driven modelling are applied. This facilitates insight into otherwise hidden information about the physical properties of the building. A hierarchy of models of increasing complexity is formulated based on prior physical knowledge and a forward selection strategy is suggested enabling the modeller to iteratively select suitable models of increasing complexity. The performance of the models is compared using likelihood ratio tests, and they are validated using a combination of appropriate statistics and physical interpretation of the results. A case study is described in which a suitable model is sought after for a single storey 120 m2 building. The result is a set of diﬀerent models of increasing complexity, with which building characteristics, such as: thermal conductivity, heat capacity of diﬀerent parts, and window area, are estimated.

Non-native speech perception in adverse conditions: A review - Lecumberri, Maria Luisa Garcia; Cooke, Martin; Cutler, Anne (Speech Communication, 2010)
If listening in adverse conditions is hard, then listening in a foreign language is doubly so: non-native listeners have to cope with both imperfect signals and imperfect knowledge. Comparison of native and non-native listener performance in speech-in-noise tasks helps to clarify the role of prior linguistic experience in speech perception, and, more directly, contributes to an understanding of the problems faced by language learners in everyday listening situations. This article reviews experimental studies on non-native listening in adverse conditions, organised around three principal contributory factors: the task facing listeners, the effect of adverse conditions on speech, and the differences among listener populations. Based on a comprehensive tabulation of key studies, we identify robust findings, research trends and gaps in current knowledge.

Framing climate change adaptation learning and action: the case of Lahore, Pakistan - Janjua, Saleem; Thomas, Ian; McEvoy, Darryn (International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management, 2010)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify and critically examine a framing of key characteristics for climate change adaptation learning and action in the context of urban Pakistani local government. Design/methodology/approach The research employed a combination of approaches; predominantly literature review and interview methodologies. Recognising the need to understand climate change adaptation as an iterative learning process, the literature review concentrated on organisational and policy learning, with special consideration given to those characteristics most pertinent to urban governance in the Pakistani context. This analysis was then furthered through primary data collated through a series of interviews, with the City District Government of Lahore as the chosen case study for this piece of research. Initial scoping interviews were followed up by a series of in‐depth, semi‐structured, interviews with local government officials, an assessment process used to examine conceptual evidence and findings in the Pakistani urban context. A total of 21 Pakistani professionals, working in a variety of roles for local government, were subject to the interview process. Findings From a critical analysis of conceptual and real world evidence, the authors identified six discrete characteristics that could be used to frame the context of climate change adaptation learning and action in the Pakistani urban local government context. These have been categorised as: leadership for adaptation, vision for adaptation, culture for adaptation, good governance for adaptation, innovation and creativity for adaptation and resources for adaptation. Originality/value The value of this paper is several‐fold: it applies a learning perspective to the climate change adaptation debate, identifies a framing of key characteristics for climate change adaptation learning and action, and uses an actor‐based approach to examine some of the key conceptual ideas in the Pakistani urban context.

Linkages among climate change, crop yields and Mexico–US cross-border migration - Feng, Shuaizhang; Krueger, Alan B.; Oppenheimer, Michael (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2010)
Climate change is expected to cause mass human migration, including immigration across international borders. This study quantitatively examines the linkages among variations in climate, agricultural yields, and people's migration responses by using an instrumental variables approach. Our method allows us to identify the relationship between crop yields and migration without explicitly controlling for all other confounding factors. Using state-level data from Mexico, we find a significant effect of climate-driven changes in crop yields on the rate of emigration to the United States. The estimated semielasticity of emigration with respect to crop yields is approximately -0.2, i.e., a 10% reduction in crop yields would lead an additional 2% of the population to emigrate. We then use the estimated semielasticity to explore the potential magnitude of future emigration. Depending on the warming scenarios used and adaptation levels assumed, with other factors held constant, by approximately the year 2080, climate change is estimated to induce 1.4 to 6.7 million adult Mexicans (or 2% to 10% of the current population aged 15-65 y) to emigrate as a result of declines in agricultural productivity alone. Although the results cannot be mechanically extrapolated to other areas and time periods, our findings are significant from a global perspective given that many regions, especially developing countries, are expected to experience significant declines in agricultural yields as a result of projected warming.

Heat impact on schoolchildren in Cameroon, Africa: potential health threat from climate change - Dapi, Léonie N.; Rocklöv, Joacim; Nguefack-Tsague, Georges; Tetanye, Ekoe; Kjellstrom, Tord (Global Health Action, 2010)
Background: Health impacts related to climate change are potentially an increasing problem in Cameroon, especially during hot seasons when there are no means for protective and adaptive actions. Objective: To describe environmental conditions in schools and to evaluate the impact of heat on schoolchildren’s health during school days in the Cameroon cities of Yaounde´ and Douala. Methods: Schoolchildren (N0285) aged 12Á16 years from public secondary schools completed a questionnaire about their background, general symptoms, and hot feelings in a cross-sectional study. In Yaounde´, 50 schoolchildren were individually interviewed during school days about hourly symptoms (fatigue, headache, and feeling very hot) and performance. Lascar dataloggers were used to measure indoor classroom temperatures and humidity. Results: There was a significant correlation between daily indoor temperature and the percentages of schoolchildren who felt very hot, had fatigue, and headaches in Yaounde´. A high proportion of schoolchildren felt very hot (48%), had fatigue (76%), and headaches (38%) in Yaounde´. Prevalences (%) were higher among girls than boys for headaches (58 vs 39), feeling ‘very hot overall’ (37 vs 21), and ‘very hot in head’ (21 vs 18). Up to 62% were absentminded and 45% had slow writing speed. High indoor temperatures of 32.58C in Yaounde´ and 36.68C in Douala were observed in school. Conclusions: Headache, fatigue, and feeling very hot associated with high indoor air temperature were observed among schoolchildren in the present study. Longitudinal data in schools are needed to confirm these results. School environmental conditions should be improved in order to enhance learning.

The Indoor Environment Handbook: How to Make Buildings Healthy and Comfortable - Bluyssen, Philomena (Routledge, 2009)
Winner of the Choice Outstanding Academic Titles of 2010 award. Ensuring that buildings are healthy and comfortable for their occupants is a primary concern of all architects and building engineers. This highly practical handbook will help make that process more efficient and effective. It begins with a guide to how the human body and senses react to different indoor environmental conditions, together with basic information on the parameters of the indoor environment and problems that can occur. It then moves on to give a background to the development of the study and control of the indoor environment, examining the main considerations (including thermal, lighting, indoor air and sound-related aspects) for a healthy and comfortable indoor environment and discussing the drivers for change in the field. The final section presents a new approach towards health and comfort in the indoor environment, where meeting the wishes and demands of the occupants with a holistic strategy becomes the over-riding priority. The book is filled with useful facts, figures and analysis, and practical methods that designers who are keen to assess and improve the user experience of their buildings will find invaluable.

Nonlinear temperature effects indicate severe damages to U.S. crop yields under climate change - Schlenker, Wolfram; Roberts, Michael J. (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2009)
The United States produces 41% of the world's corn and 38% of the world's soybeans. These crops comprise two of the four largest sources of caloric energy produced and are thus critical for world food supply. We pair a panel of county-level yields for these two crops, plus cotton (a warmer-weather crop), with a new fine-scale weather dataset that incorporates the whole distribution of temperatures within each day and across all days in the growing season. We find that yields increase with temperature up to 29° C for corn, 30° C for soybeans, and 32° C for cotton but that temperatures above these thresholds are very harmful. The slope of the decline above the optimum is significantly steeper than the incline below it. The same nonlinear and asymmetric relationship is found when we isolate either time-series or cross-sectional variations in temperatures and yields. This suggests limited historical adaptation of seed varieties or management practices to warmer temperatures because the cross-section includes farmers' adaptations to warmer climates and the time-series does not. Holding current growing regions fixed, area-weighted average yields are predicted to decrease by 30–46% before the end of the century under the slowest (B1) warming scenario and decrease by 63–82% under the most rapid warming scenario (A1FI) under the Hadley III model.

Preparing Australian medical students for climate change. - Green, Evelyn I. Hamel; Blashki, Grant; Berry, Helen; Harley, David; Horton, Graeme; Hall, Gillian (PubMed, 2009)
Climate change is now recognised as a global public health problem and the future medical workforce will be working during a period when the health impacts of climate change are likely to be significant.This article discusses the ongoing training on the health impacts of climate change for the current and future medical workforce.The role of medical practitioners in the coming decades will need to include assisting communities to adapt to changing climatic conditions, managing climate sensitive illnesses, and contributing to mitigation efforts to prevent climate change. Climate change and health should be built into the curricula of Australian medical schools spanning public health, clinical medicine, preventive health and global health. We propose a problem based learning approach to highlight clinical and public health implications, and present two hypothetical case studies suitable for teaching purposes.

A Tale of Three Signatories: Learning from the European Union, Japanese, and Canadian Kyoto Experiences in Crafting a Superior United States Climate Change Regime - Schatz, Andrew B. (Social Science Research Network, 2009)
As we enter the compliance years of the Kyoto Protocol, the world waits to see whether the first global effort at combating climate change will be deemed a success or failure. While there may be no clear answer to that question, an analysis of various nations’ efforts at compliance reveals a wide spectrum of approaches and obstacles to tackling this enormous challenge. This Article explores the varying successes and failures of three signatories - the European Union, Japan, and Canada - in meeting their obligations to reduce greenhouse gas emissions under the Kyoto Protocol. The author critically analyzes the European, Japanese, and Canadian experiences, applying the lessons learned to more effectively structure a superior U.S. climate change regime. Most significantly, the author concludes that the United States would be wise to follow Europe’s holistic model of economy-wide regulation, yet is wholly unprepared to implement an aggressive climate plan without transforming its economy first. Based on other nations’ experiences, this Article concludes that the United States should implement a greenhouse gas registry, establish stringent regulations capable of withstanding shifts in political currents, and auction rather than allocate emissions credits. To meet these challenges, the United States must upgrade its electric grid to support a renewable energy infrastructure, facilitate the growth of nuclear and natural gas co-generation power plants as a transitional alternative base-load power source to coal, and invest heavily in the technologies of tomorrow.

Student‐led campus climate change initiatives in Canada - Helferty, Anjali; Clarke, Amelia (International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education, 2009)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive list of student‐led, campus‐based climate change initiatives, and offers details on many specific cases. The paper also documents the roles students have played and considers the larger youth engagement implications. Many of these initiatives can be replicated elsewhere, thereby providing a starting point for students wanting to begin an initiative or providing ideas for other campus stakeholders wanting to engage students in initiatives. Design/methodology/approach Campus reports were collected by the Sierra Youth Coalition from 65 Canadian Universities and Colleges. This qualitative information was coded for student‐led climate‐related initiatives, and for the roles students played in those initiatives. The patterns were identified and clustered, and are presented in this paper. Findings Students were found to be successfully leading eight different types of campus climate change‐related initiatives, both with the support of other campus stakeholders and without this support. Students were also found to be able to successfully take on a variety of types of leadership roles in these initiatives. Youth engagement ranged from socialization to influence to power, depending on the type of initiative. Research limitations/implications A limitation of this research is that only 65 of the approximately 227 colleges and universities in Canada participated. Also, it is possible that some schools may not have reported all student‐led initiatives, or all the student roles. In addition, the data were limited to the 2007/2008 academic year, so is limited to the initiatives which occurred in that year. Originality/value This paper presents different types of student‐led climate change initiatives, the roles students have played in these initiatives, and the implications for youth engagement in creating climate change solutions. It contributes to the climate change, the campus sustainability, and the social movements literatures.

One was the rediscovery of the “built environment” as a key determinant of human health. Community design—including land use and transportation decisions, but extending to such arenas as energy, housing, and food—affects outcomes as diverse as cardiovascular health, respiratory heath, cancer, injury risk, and social capital.A second major advance has been the growing appreciation of global change as a fundamental driver of human health. Climate change is perhaps the best recognized example, but other global changes—peak petroleum, biodiversity loss, land use changes, and resource depletion—also loom large.The two books reviewed here combine both domains. They describe how global changes will affect what is now the predominant human habitat: the city. But the books do more than describe; they brim with recommendations for how cities can become more resilient to global changes, more sustainable, and implicitly (for health is rarely mentioned in either book) more healthy.The books are the product of a scholarly dream team. Timothy Beatley is professor of sustainable communities at the University of Virginia, and Peter Newman is professor of sustainability at Curtin University in Australia, both leading authorities on sustainable community design. Heather Boyer, co-author of Resilient Cities, is a seasoned editor at Island Press, the preeminent environmental publisher.Resilient Cities is a succinct, wide-reaching, and readable overview, with several important attributes. First, it considers two major global trends, climate change and peak petroleum, jointly; too many recent analyses have focused on one or the other of these, although they will clearly emerge in tandem. Second, it is suffused with hope, a deliberate counterpoint to the gloom and doom typical of so much global change discourse. Third, it is grounded in the concept of resilience—“the capacity of a system to absorb disturbance and still retain its basic function and structure”—as applied to cities. Finally, the authors recognize that resiliency is not simply a technical challenge; it requires civic commitment to long-term planning, participatory democracy, cooperation, and multisectoral partnership.The book posits four possible scenarios for resource-intensive cities: collapse, reversion to rural form, division, or resiliency. Collapse is conceivable but certainly not desirable. The “ruralized city” has been advocated by some peak oil commentators, who point out that local agricultural production would both utilize idle land in sprawling communities and reduce the need for long-distance transport of food. But Newman, Beatley, and Boyer dismiss the idea except on a limited scale, arguing that agriculture “is not the primary function of a city.” The divided city is a stratified and polarized place, with gated enclaves for the well off and various degrees of squalor, danger, and hopelessness for the less fortunate. Given these scenarios, it is no surprise that the authors vote for resiliency: green buildings, reduced energy demand, reliance on renewable fuel sources, walkable neighborhoods, more localized production of goods, and other hallmarks of sustainability.Following descriptions of climate change and peak petroleum and an inventory of the options for responding, Resilient Cities moves to compelling chapters on the built environment and on transportation. These are practical, sensible chapters, generously endowed with examples from around the world: urban gardens in Vancouver, biogas from wastewater in Stockholm, tree planting in Sacramento, solar energy in Toronto and Austin, wind turbines in Honolulu, energy-efficient building standards in Freiburg, congestion taxes in London. We learn of aspirational programs such as carbon-neutral cities (Malmö, Newcastle, and Adelaide) and zero-energy developments (the Beddington Zero Energy Development, or BedZED, in the London borough of Sutton). One senses that these are not abstractions or impossibilities; they are practical, affordable, and readily achievable. There is reason for hope.Green Urbanism Down Under extends this discussion. Timothy Beatley spent 6 months living and traveling in Australia, and this book is the result. He sees Australia as similar in many ways to the United States: It is extensively urbanized, it is very resource- and energy-consumptive, it relies heavily on fossil fuels despite having extensive renewable energy resources, it is automobile-dependent, it has a large per capita ecologic footprint, and it has a constitutional democracy. Beatley persuasively maintains that Australia has many lessons to offer the United States.The longest chapter is a detailed account of sustainability practices in Australia’s five major cities—Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth. They are far advanced, and there is much to learn from them. The next chapter expands the focus to entire bioregions, the following chapter discusses ways in which the sense of place is strengthened in localities across Australia, and the subsequent chapter focuses on natural amenities (the “bush,” in Australian parlance) in cities. The penultimate chapter analyzes planning practices at the regional and state levels, and the final chapter discusses the relevance of the book to the United States.Readers who care about sustainability and urban form will greatly enjoy these books. Readers who care about environmental change—especially emerging long-term threats such as climate change and peak petroleum—will also learn much from reading these books. But readers of this journal, who care about the specifics of human health effects, will not be fully satisfied. Both books overlook almost entirely the health issues inherent in climate change and peak petroleum. Health threats are not mentioned, and though the authors certainly appreciate the value of co-benefits (“a more localized approach will save oil, minimize greenhouse gas emissions, and help create better local economies and communities”), they unaccountably omit health benefits from their discussion of resiliency.Resilient Cities and Green Urbanism Down Under are delightful books. Together they offer a positive, inspiring view of how communities can be designed not only to withstand global changes, but to thrive by adopting green practices. Although the books offer little direct information on health, they provide an invaluable framework for considering the public health approach to both climate change and peak petroleum.FiguresReferencesRelatedDetails Vol. 117, No. 7 July 2009Metrics About Article Metrics Publication History Originally published1 July 2009Published in print1 July 2009 Financial disclosuresPDF download License information EHP is an open-access journal published with support from the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, National Institutes of Health.

House design modifications reduce indoor resting malaria vector densities in rice irrigation scheme area in western Kenya - Atieli, Harrysone; Menya, Diana; Scott, Thomas (Malaria journal, 2009)
Simple modifications of typical rural house design can be an effective and relatively inexpensive method of reducing indoor mosquito vector densities and consequently decreasing malaria transmission. Public health scientists have shown the potential for house design to protect people against malaria, yet this type of intervention remains virtually ignored. A randomized-controlled study was, therefore, undertaken to determine the effects of this method of vector control on the density of indoor resting malaria vectors in a rice irrigation scheme area in lowlands of western Kenya. Ten treatment houses were modified with ceilings of papyrus mats and insecticide-treated netting (ITN) and tested against ten control houses without papyrus ceilings. To determine densities of mosquitoes resting in homes, the pyrethrum spray method was used to simultaneously collect indoor resting malaria vectors in intervention and control houses. Each house was sampled a total of eight times over a period of four months, resulting in a total of 80 sampling efforts for each treatment. Community response to such intervention was investigated by discussions with residents. Papyrus mats ceiling modification reduced house entry by Anopheles gambiae s.l and Anopheles funestus densities by between 78-80% and 86% respectively compared to unmodified houses. Geometric mean density of Anopheles gambiae s.l. and Anopheles funestus in modified houses were significantly lower (t(18) = 7.174, P < 0.0001 and t(18) = 2.52, P = 0.02, respectively) compared to controls. Unmodified houses were associated with relatively higher densities of malaria vectors. There was a 84% (OR 0.16, 95% CI 0.07-0.39, P < 0.0001) and 87% (OR 0.13, 95% CI 0.03-0.5, P = 0.0004) reduction in the odds of Anopheles gambiae s.l. and Anopheles funestus presence in modified houses, respectively, compared with unmodified houses. Residents responded favourably to this mode of vector control. House modifications involving insect screen ceilings made from locally available materials and small ITN incorporated in house construction have the potential to reduce human exposure to malaria vectors, and thus parasite infection, in a rice irrigation scheme area of western Kenya. Ceiling modification is likely to be acceptable and is expected to be of greatest benefit when used in combination with other malaria control strategies.

Adaptive analysis of thermal comfort in university classrooms: Correlation between experimental data and mathematical models - Buratti, Cinzia; Ricciardi, Paola (Building and Environment, 2009)
Numerous studies are in progress to support adaptive models in indoor thermal comfort evaluation and to establish quantitative indexes to allow the subject to optimize his/her comfort conditions. A wide experimental campaign was carried out in moderate environments, such as university classrooms, and a multiple choice questionnaire was elaborated, comprehensive of information for the static and adaptive model proposed by UNI EN ISO 10551, in order to find a correlation between experimental data measured by the instruments and subjective responses given by the occupants. The questionnaire was applied in autumn, winter and spring in classrooms of the University of Perugia, Terni and Pavia. During the campaign, all data needed to calculate both Fanger and Wray comfort indices were acquired by instrumental surveys and questionnaire compilation. By means of results' analysis of both questionnaires and measurements, the following couple of parameters (derived from Fanger and Wray) were correlated: Predicted Mean Vote (PMV) versus the difference between the Equivalent Uniform Temperature and the Comfort Uniform Temperature (Teu−Tu) and the Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied (PPD) versus the absolute value of the same difference between temperatures (|Teu−Tu|). For the first couple of parameters, a linear correlation was found while for the second one a second-degree polynomial relation was obtained. Better correlation was found for measurement data rather than questionnaire results. Finally values of Operative Temperature T0 and Equivalent Uniform Temperature Teu, obtained for each single experimental survey, were compared, observing a very good agreement between the two quantities, with differences that exceed 0.1K only for a few number of values. Questionnaire and experimental PMV data were also correlated to T0: higher values of questionnaire than instrumental PMV were obtained for the same value of T0.

Fast Local Algorithms for Large Scale Nonnegative Matrix and Tensor Factorizations - Cichocki, Andrzej; Phan, Anh-Huy (IEICE Transactions, 2009)
Nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) and its extensions such as Nonnegative Tensor Factorization (NTF) have become prominent techniques for blind sources separation (BSS), analysis of image databases, data mining and other information retrieval and clustering applications. In this paper we propose a family of efficient algorithms for NMF/NTF, as well as sparse nonnegative coding and representation, that has many potential applications in computational neuroscience, multi-sensory processing, compressed sensing and multidimensional data analysis. We have developed a class of optimized local algorithms which are referred to as Hierarchical Alternating Least Squares (HALS) algorithms. For these purposes, we have performed sequential constrained minimization on a set of squared Euclidean distances. We then extend this approach to robust cost functions using the alpha and beta divergences and derive flexible update rules. Our algorithms are locally stable and work well for NMF-based blind source separation (BSS) not only for the over-determined case but also for an under-determined (over-complete) case (i.e., for a system which has less sensors than sources) if data are sufficiently sparse. The NMF learning rules are extended and generalized for N-th order nonnegative tensor factorization (NTF). Moreover, these algorithms can be tuned to different noise statistics by adjusting a single parameter. Extensive experimental results confirm the accuracy and computational performance of the developed algorithms, especially, with usage of multi-layer hierarchical NMF approach [3].

Climate change, migration and adaptation in Funafuti, Tuvalu - Mortreux, Colette; Barnett, Jon (Global Environmental Change, 2009)
This paper shows the extent to which people in Funafuti – the main island of Tuvalu – are intending to migrate in response to climate change. It presents evidence collected from Funafuti to challenge the widely held assumption that climate change is, will, or should result in large-scale migration from Tuvalu. It shows that for most people climate change is not a reason for concern, let alone a reason to migrate, and that would-be migrants do not cite climate change as a reason to leave. People in Funafuti wish to remain living in Funafuti for reasons of lifestyle, culture and identity. Concerns about the impacts of climate change are not currently a significant driver of migration from Funafuti, and do not appear to be a significant influence on those who intend to migrate in the future.

Climate change: is Australian rural and remote medical education and training ready for the age of consequences? - Bell, Erica (2009)
Aims On the threshold of a new era of consequences, it seems the evidence of climate change is not speaking to medical education and training, and vice versa. What competencies will Australia’s rural and remote general practitioners need in a climate-changing world? How should Australian rural and remote medical education and training adapt to meet the challenges of climate change? How is Australia placed relative to the world in meeting such challenges and what does this suggest about our global responsibilities? This paper aims to explore what Australia should do locally, nationally, and internationally to help ensure rural and remote general practitioners are prepared for a climate-changing world.

Engaging Australians on climate change: the role of education and communication in social change - Gaillard, Estelle; Ferreira, Jo-Anne (2009)
Climate change is a matter of great interest and worldwide concern. The latest evidences from scientific studies and official documents produced by the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) show that the challenges posed by climate change need to be taken seriously if they are ever to be tackled properly. It is widely acknowledged that information, communication and education on climate change are important tools in the search for solutions to the social, economic or political problems climate changes poses. But despite the fact that much has been written about climate change, most works to date tend to focus on specific issues (e.g. climate modeling, forecasts) as opposed to addressing the problem in an interdisciplinary way as it should be. This book tries to address this perceived gap by providing a wide range of perspectives on climate change, which goes over and above the traditional barriers seen among subjects. It is interdisciplinary in nature and comprehensive in scope. This book was prepared in the context of 냬imate 2008련www.klima2008.net), the world's first scientific conference on climate change held on the internet, and is one of the first outputs of the newly-created 뉮ternational Climate Change Information Programme련ICCIP). It provides a long-needed contribution to a better understanding of the interdisciplinary nature of the subject matter of climate change and offers an overview of some of the on-going interdisciplinary projects and initiatives in this field taking place in different parts of the world.

The role of education and training in achieving social and political outcomes for climate change adaptation in Australia Author - Nursey‐Bray, Melissa; Sketch, Biographical (Climate, 2009)
Instituting adaptation frameworks that can assist professionals to respond to climate change, yet be tailored to specific sectoral needs is crucial. Professionals working at the coalface of the climate change challenge need to build new skills and create innovative solutions in social and political contexts. Using case studies, this paper reflects on the experience of developing climate change curricula at multiple levels and the obstacles to implementation of the links between curriculum and practice. This includes reflections on the necessity of interlinking political, social and economic aspects together in delivery of such a course. The paper concludes by examining the utility of such educational initiatives to build community resilience, forge networks between multiple sectors and contribute to achieving social/institutional, political and economic outcomes for adaptation to climate change.

Heat Effects on Mortality in 15 European Cities - Baccini, Michela; Biggeri, Annibale; Accetta, Gabriele; Kosatsky, Tom; Katsouyanni, Klea; Analitis, Antonis; Anderson, H. Ross; Bisanti, Luigi; D'Ippoliti, Daniela; Danova, Jana; Forsberg, Bertil; Medina, Sylvia; et al. (Epidemiology, 2008)
Background: Epidemiologic studies show that high temperatures are related to mortality, but little is known about the exposure-response function and the lagged effect of heat. We report the associations between daily maximum apparent temperature and daily deaths during the warm season in 15 European cities. Methods: The city-specific analyses were based on generalized estimating equations and the city-specific results were combined in a Bayesian random effects meta-analysis. We specified distributed lag models in studying the delayed effect of exposure. Time-varying coefficient models were used to check the assumption of a constant heat effect over the warm season. Results: The city-specific exposure-response functions have a V shape, with a change-point that varied among cities. The meta-analytic estimate of the threshold was 29.4°C for Mediterranean cities and 23.3°C for north-continental cities. The estimated overall change in all natural mortality associated with a 1°C increase in maximum apparent temperature above the city-specific threshold was 3.12% (95% credibility interval = 0.60% to 5.72%) in the Mediterranean region and 1.84% (0.06% to 3.64%) in the north-continental region. Stronger associations were found between heat and mortality from respiratory diseases, and with mortality in the elderly. Conclusions: There is an important mortality effect of heat across Europe. The effect is evident from June through August; it is limited to the first week following temperature excess, with evidence of mortality displacement. There is some suggestion of a higher effect of early season exposures. Acclimatization and individual susceptibility need further investigation as possible explanations for the observed heterogeneity among cities.

Developing Strategies for Future Climate Change Science: Future Climate Change Research and Observations: GCOS, WCRP and IGBP Learning From the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report; Sydney, Australia, 4–6 October 2007 - Bojinski, Stephan; Doherty, S. J. (Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2008)
Learning from the findings of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fourth Assessment Report to design future strategies for climate change research and observations was the key objective of a workshop organized jointly by the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS), the World Climate Research Program (WCRP), and the International Geosphere‐ Biosphere Programme (IGBP) in Sydney, Australia. Some 66 key IPCC authors and other experts associated with the three international programs discussed ways to sustain and develop future observing systems and to define climate change research challenges, based on gaps and uncertainties identified by IPCC Working Group I (The Physical Science Basis) and Working Group II (Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability) in their latest assessments.

"Competition for Resources in a Changing World: New Drive for Rural Development" Future of the Nigerian Under-Exploited Indigenous Fruits and Vegetables in the Era of Climate Change: The Need for Farmers Education - Adebooye, O. C.; Ajayi, O. Adedayo (2008)
Indigenous fruits and vegetables are known to play major role in the nutritional livelihood of the Nigeria population especially in the rural areas where people cannot pay for meat, egg and milk. In the face of threats posed by climate change as exemplified by drastic changes in rainfall pattern, temperature, relative humidity, radiation, weeds-pests-diseases complex and general alterations in the trends of climatic elements, there is the need to discuss the future of the uncultivated but edible plant species which have served as basis of livelihood for the poor people over several years. Emerging evidence has shown that farmers in Nigeria are mostly illiterate and that they practise the cropping system inherited from their parents and are still caught up in the recent phenomenon of climate change. They are mostly not producing in large quantities and depend on rain for their crops. Most of the indigenous fruits and vegetables are still gathered from the wild and are not included in the research mandate of Nigerian agricultural research Institutes. In this era of climate change, it is important to discuss how these indigenous crops will not go into extinction since they are still good sources of food and possible sources of germplasm for crop improvement. The farmers therefore need to be educated on the importance of the crops and the danger of sending them into extinction in the wake of climatic change. This paper therefore discusses the diversity of indigenous fruits and vegetables in Southwest Nigeria by taking into account the available species, the density, the uses, the mode of exploitation and the role that extension education can play in bringing these crops into cultivation, especially in this era of climate change in order to prevent them from extinction.

Paper CAR08958 Australian Association for Research in Education International Education Research Conference Changing Climates: Education for Sustainable Futures Brisbane - 30 November - 4 December, 2008 Changing the Conversational Climate for Educational Leadership in Schools - Cardno, Carol (2008)
Understanding and dealing with the sources of problems of practice requires learning at both the interpersonal and organisational levels. The means for learning is the ability to engage in conversations that lead to problem clarification and collaborative commitment to change. When these problems are complex and manifest as dilemmas (with tensions between meeting organisational and individual needs) and impact on the quality of learning and teaching, educational leaders who focus on resolution can indirectly affect conditions which have consequences for improving student achievement. This action research study uses the case of one school to examine the commitment to engagement in conversations that allow dilemmas to be resolved. Data were gathered to examine the motivation of teachers and leaders to learn and the barriers to be overcome. A training intervention prepared senior managers for dealing with dilemmas more productively. The next stage in the research process is the collection of deep data that could provide evidence of changed practice in problem-solving conversations. Methodologically, this study has entered an extremely challenging phase in relation to accessing the data required. The major challenge encountered by the researcher and the key participants is the difficulty associated with gathering sensitive evidence of change in conversational encounters that involve other colleagues. A solution in the form of extending participation in intervention training to all members of the school has been adopted so that subsequent practice change can be observed collaboratively.

Marine biodiversity of India -Winter School onImpact of Climate Change on Indian Marine Fisheries held at CMFRI, Cochin 18.1.2008 to 7.2.2008 - George, Rani Mary (2008)
Biodiversity plays a decisive role in maintaining the ecological balance of the earth. Towards the end of the 20th century, humankind grew conscious of its unprecedented impact upon natural environments and the danger of exhausting biological resources. Therefore, biodiversity emerged as an environmental issue in the early 1980s, culminating in the Conference on Sustainable Development held in Rio de Janeiro in 1992. At the same time, biological diversity was recognized as an essential parameter, in particular for the agro and pharmaceutical industries.

Thermal comfort in sub-Saharan Africa: Field study report in Jos-Nigeria - Ogbonna, A. C.; Harris, D. J. (Applied Energy, 2008)
There is much documented material concerning human thermal comfort from the physiological, adaptive and social convention paradigms. Most of these studies have been conducted on limited-occupancy buildings, such as offices and institutions of higher learning in the northern hemisphere and parts of the ASEAN region; the subjects generally being adults and assumed to be in good health. In contrast, limited work appears to have been carried out in regularly occupied buildings like homes and in tropical sub-Saharan Africa. This study seeks to fill this gap by providing empirical thermal comfort data from a city in the tropical savannah region of Africa. The data collected include temperature, humidity, CO2 level and lighting level, as well as results from questionnaires on the occupants’ sensations of thermal comfort. The results show the range of conditions in which occupants in naturally ventilated buildings are comfortable. The preferred conditions suggested by the data are an operative temperature of just over 26°C.

Pelagic fisheries of India- Winter School onImpact of Climate Change on Indian Marine Fisheries held at CMFRI, Cochin 18.1.2008 to 7.2.2008 - Pillai, N G K; Ganga, U (2008)
The pelagic fishes live most part of their life in the surface or subsurface waters. This group exhibits rich species diversity and abundance in the Indian EEZ. Though 240 species constitute the pelagic fisheries along the Indian coast, it is only about 60 species belonging to 8 groups support major fisheries (Table1). During the last decade, pelagic finfishes contributed to 46-56% (average: 51%) of the total marine fish production, of which almost 70% was fished from within the 50 m depth zone

Application of remote sensing for marinefisheries and climate change studies in India- Winter School onImpact of Climate Change on Indian Marine Fisheries held at CMFRI, Cochin 18.1.2008 to 7.2.2008 - Singh, Vikram (2008)
The term ‘remote sensing’ implies feeling from a distance and applies to “the acquisition of information about a portion of the earth’s surface, utilizing instruments operated from a distance”. The term is restricted to the methods that employ electromagnetic energy such as light, heat and radio waves as the means of deflecting and measuring target characteristics. The physical basis of remote sensing is the platforms like aircraft and satellites. Operational types of remote sensing include aerial photographs, false colour IR photos, radar imaging, thermal IR scanning and satellite remote sensing.

Demersal fishery resources of India- Winter School onImpact of Climate Change on Indian Marine Fisheries held at CMFRI, Cochin 18.1.2008 to 7.2.2008 - Sivakami, S (2008)
The neritic waters along the continental shelf of the Indian EEZ is endowed with a rich abode of demersal finfish resources contributing to about 27.5 % of the total marine landings of the country. The demersal finfishes represented by a total of 23 groups and 71 commercially important species by virtue of their multifarious uses contribute substantially both as a protein supplement and to the revenue generation of the nation. Besides, the island ecosystems of Lakshadweep and Andaman & Nicobar have rich potential of marine ornamental fish resources, which by their aesthetic value are very much in demand for aqariculture both in India and abroad. Nevertheless, these invaluable fishery resources are subjected to wider fluctuations and/or depletion because of the adversities caused both by fishery related and non-fishery related factors. The prospects and problems of demersal finfish fishery in India are examined here with possible managerial measures so as to sustain the fishery.

Status of marine fisheries in India - Winter School onImpact of Climate Change on Indian Marine Fisheries held at CMFRI, Cochin 18.1.2008 to 7.2.2008 - Srinath, M; Pillai, N G K (2008)
Marine fisheries sector in India plays a significant role in Indian economy and provides livelihood security to about 3.5 million coastal rural folk living in 3200 marine fishing villages. The substantial growth of the sector is due to innovative and efficient fishing practices, government policies, well developed harvest and post-harvest infrastructure and increased demand for marine fish products in the domestic and international markets. The growing demand resulted in fishing effort intensification, extension of fishing grounds, increase in overall length of fishing boats, holding capacity of the trawlers, fishing effort in terms of fishing hours through multi-day fishing by the mechanized sector and enhanced fishing operations by the motorized sector. Multiday fishing that came into vogue in the 90s. The production, which reached 2.7 million t in 1997, has remained almost invariant. The asymptotic production level in all the regions of exploitation indicates a little scope for further increase. Thus, there is an urgent need to ensure sustainability of resources through appropriate management interventions as envisaged in the FAO Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and also in the context of global warming and climate change.

An applied artificial intelligence approach towards assessing building performance simulation tools - Yezioro, Abraham; Dong, Bing; Leite, Fernanda (Energy and Buildings, 2008)
With the development of modern computer technology, a large amount of building energy simulation tools is available in the market. When choosing which simulation tool to use in a project, the user must consider the tool's accuracy and reliability, considering the building information they have at hand, which will serve as input for the tool. This paper presents an approach towards assessing building performance simulation results to actual measurements, using artificial neural networks (ANN) for predicting building energy performance. Training and testing of the ANN were carried out with energy consumption data acquired for 1 week in the case building called the Solar House. The predicted results show a good fitness with the mathematical model with a mean absolute error of 0.9%. Moreover, four building simulation tools were selected in this study in order to compare their results with the ANN predicted energy consumption: Energy_10, Green Building Studio web tool, eQuest and EnergyPlus. The results showed that the more detailed simulation tools have the best simulation performance in terms of heating and cooling electricity consumption within 3% of mean absolute error.

Evergreen trees as inexpensive radiation shields for temperature sensors - Lundquist, Jessica D.; Huggett, Brian (Water Resources Research, 2008)
Evergreen trees provide temperature sensors with shielding from solar radiation and an elevated location above the snowpack. Sensors were deployed with simple funnel radiation shields in the Sierra Nevada, California, and Rocky Mountains, Colorado. Compared with unaspirated, Gill‐shielded thermistors, inexpensive self‐recording temperature sensors hung in dense stands of trees have less than 0.8°C (0.4°C) mean difference in daily maximum (mean) temperature. In contrast, sensors in sparse and isolated trees had a bias of 2–5°C (0.3–1.3°C) in daily maximum (mean) temperature. Sensors on poles were biased 5–13°C (0.5–3.0°C) for daily maximum (mean) temperatures. In locations with deep winter snowpacks, sensors can be raised high into a tree using a pulley system.

Climate change and disability-adjusted life years. - Zhang, Ying; Bi, Peng; Hiller, Janet E. (PubMed, 2007)
The authors conducted a systematic review of the studies of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) lost because of climate change. The review considered both methodological issues and research results. It found that little is known about DALYs lost because of climate change, except for results based on limited information presented in the World Health Organization (WHO) global-burden-of-disease study in 2002. The measurement of DALYs attributable to climate change presents additional difficulties over measurement of DALYs attributable to other causes. Further studies linking DALYs and climate change should be conducted in various populations and in different ecological regions, including developing countries.

Development of applied climate education for improved management of climate variability and climate change in rural Australia - George, David (2007)
The climate in Australia is one of the most variable in the world. Better understanding of this variability and applications of climate risk management are central to profitable and sustainable rural industries. Developments in climate science provide better understanding and forecasting of both between-year El Nino variability and long-term climate change. Climate risk management assesses the possible impacts of climate variability on rural businesses and the options available to mitigate the risk. An applied climate educational program to complement these improved climate forecasts is timely. This research examines the value of climate education, identifies suitable educational processes and outlines ways to improve vocational education in rural Australia, specifically in management of climate variability, seasonal forecasts and climate change. These objectives were addressed by: . • examining the literature that assesses climate risk in farm business management to determine the major issues and solutions to applied climate education . • establishing climate education and training needs through a needs analysis survey . • testing applied climate education with eleven culturally diverse groups engaged in a broad-range of agricultural settings and climatic zones to identify and refine educational principles for ‘in-depth’ testing with producers and educators . • evaluating the background and rationale concerning the design and development of a Unit of Competency (UOC) (‘Develop climatic risk management strategies’ [DCRMS]) in the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF) . • developing an appropriate process for an applied climate education course (called ClimEd) that focussed on developing the managerial skills of farmers to identify and implement appropriate climate risk management strategies through action research . • in-depth studies with farmers by conducting a ClimEd pilot workshop to ensure the course was consistent with the vocational educational requirements of DCRMS and needs of a broad range of industries . • in-depth studies with educators by conducting a ‘Train-the-trainer’ ClimEd workshop to ensure development of an appropriate trainer package for the ClimEd course . • continued longitudinal studies with farmers and educators by evaluating the development and delivery of the ClimEd course and supporting resource materials as an education process using surveys and semi-structured interviews. rated themselves as competent in those skills. These essential skills would help farmers to be better prepared for the coming season by identifying key decision points where climate information and seasonal climate forecasts could be useful. The pilot studies showed that learning was maximised where participants were involved in problem-solving through discussion and hands-on application of decision-support software in exercises that integrated climate science, agricultural information and business decisions. The initial studies in India, Indonesia, Zimbabwe and Australia involving eleven workshops and 252 participants included farmers, scientists and extension staff. Principles for developing and evaluating applied climate education included: (a) consultation with participants in establishing learning outcomes, the program and timing of training; (b) comprehension of the El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, coverage of ENSO-based seasonal climate forecast systems and impacts of climate on enterprises and natural resources at a broad and localised scale; and (c) discussion on strategic options available relating to seasonal and longer-term time frames (incorporating climate change). As a consequence, the two key principles on which the ClimEd course was developed were firstly, that the course highlights a strategic approach in managing climatic risk, and secondly, provide a modular format to enable a flexible mode of delivery to suit the diverse needs of farmers. Climate risk is a major component of overall risk management. The lack of focus in applied climate education [ACE] on managerial skills required attention. Education that is directed towards facilitating managerial skills can help to achieve better management of climate variability and change especially if it includes a practical project integrating enterprise, environment, resources and climate change information. The ClimEd workshop was pilot-tested with a sample of fifteen farmers and twenty educators with backgrounds in grazing, cropping, horticulture and irrigation industries from all mainland states of Australia. It was conducted with the key stakeholders from the national meteorological agency (Bureau of Meteorology), state extension agencies and other representatives from educational and farming institutions. The major finding from conducting the five-day ClimEd workshop with farmers (n=15) was that it enabled learning to go beyond ‘awareness’ of climate issues, to skills development and application in decision-making relating to the various enterprises represented. A further subtle but important distinction uncovered in the in-depth study was that better management of climate variability also helps in better management for climate change. The concept that better managing climate variability was real and present was pre¬eminent in the minds of participants, whereas climate change was seen more as a future problem confronting producers. In conclusion, the research findings demonstrating improved knowledge and skills of farmers, improved farmer decisions relating to climate and enterprises, and reduced climate risk, support the hypothesis that farmers respond positively to vocational education that develops climate risk management strategies. The limitations to implementation and success of ACE, including the ClimEd course, include institutional inflexibility by organisations responsible for farmer education, and general reluctance of farmers to value and attend training, attributable to excuses of age, time, cost and perceived benefit. The research presented in this thesis confirms that continued support, development and refinement of vocational education in applied climate can impact positively on both the learning and behaviour of farmers, advisors and trainers to enhance sustainability of agriculture in Australia. Approaches used in this thesis should become central to continuing education of agricultural producers and natural resource managers under conditions of increased climate variability and climate change.

Explaining U.S. Immigration, 1971–1998 - Clark, Ximena; Hatton, Timothy J.; Williamson, Jeffrey G. (The Review of Economics and Statistics, 2007)
In this paper we develop and estimate a model to explain variations in immigration to the United States by source country since the early 1970s. The explanatory variables include ratios to the United States of source country income and education as well as relative inequality. In addition, we incorporate the stock of previous immigrants and a variety of variables representing different dimensions of the immigration quotas set by policy. We use the results to shed light on the impact of policy by simulating the effects of the key changes in immigration policy since the late 1970s. We also examine the factors that influenced the composition of U.S. immigration by source region over the entire period.

Comparison between thermal comfort predictive models and subjective responses in Italian university classrooms - Filippi, Marco; S.P, Corgnati; Ansaldi, Roberta (2007)
SUMMARY This work is focused on the evaluation of indoor thermal quality and shows some results of a wider field study in university classrooms. The field study was conducted through physical observations and questionnaires, performed at the same time during the regular lesson time, in a period just before the start of the heating season. The predictions of dissatisfied occupants, based both on Fanger’s heat balance model and on an adaptive approach, were compared to each other. The subjective survey investigated the thermal acceptability, the thermal preference and the thermal sensation, asking students to assess their comfort on subjective scales. The calculated predicted votes were compared to the observed subjective responses. Moreover, the subjective mean votes were compared to the thermal environment perceptions in terms of acceptability and preference. The obtained results give a contribution to t he enrichment of knowledge about thermal subjective responses in classrooms.

Climate variability and change : adaptation to drought in Bangladesh : a resource book and training guide - Selvaraju, R.; Baas, Stephan (2007)
The impact of increasing climatic variability and change are global concerns but in Bangladesh, where large numbers of people are chronically exposed and vulnerable to a range of natural hazards, they are particularly critical. This resource book has been tested and prepared as a reference and guide for further training and capacity building of agricultural extension workers and development professionals to deal with climate change impacts and adaptation, using the example of drought-prone areas of Bangladesh. It also presents suggestions for a three-day training course that would be readily adaptable for any areas of Bangladesh affected by climate-related risks. The information presented on climate change adaptation would enable participants to prepare, demonstrate and implement location-specific adaptation practices and, thus, to improve the adaptive capacity of rural livelihoods to climate change in agriculture and allied sectors.

The Development of a Warm Weather Relative Stress Index for Environmental Applications - Kalkstein, Laurence (2007)
The Heat Stress Index (HSI) is a new, comprehensive summer index that evaluates daily relative stress for locations in United States based on deviations from the norm. The index is based on daily maximum and minimum apparent temperature, cloud cover, cooling degree hours, and consecutive days of extreme heat. The relative nature of the index suggests that the same meteorological conditions in Boston and Atlanta will yield different HSI values, based on the historical frequency of these conditions. The same conditions at the same place would also yield different HSI values if they occurred in early June and mid July. The main premise of the index is that people respond to weather in a relative, rather than absolute, manner. The HSI is derived by developing daily statistical distributions for each variable at each locale. Percentile values for each variable are developed daily, based on variation from mean and the standard deviation, and are summed for all the variables, yielding a new distribution of the summed percentile values. The daily HSI value is the percentile associated with the location of the daily summed value under the summation curve. It varies from 0 to 10; a daily value of 9.7 would indicate that only 3 percent of days would be more stressful than this one at this location during this time of the year. There is interest in using the HSI to aid as guidance in the issuance of excessive heat warnings, as a public index that would be more revealing than the present heat index, and as a research tool for a variety of environmental issues.

Earth mother myths and other ecofeminist fables: How a strategic notion rose and fell - Leach, M. (Development and change, 2007)

The Gendered Nature of Natural Disasters: The Impact of Catastrophic Events on the Gender Gap in Life Expectancy, 1981–2002 - Neumayer, E.; Plümper, T.; Neumayer, Eric; Plümper, Thomas (Annals of the Association of American Geographers, 2007)
Natural disasters do not affect people equally. In fact, a vulnerability approach to disasters would suggest that inequalities in exposure and sensitivity to risk as well as inequalities in access to resources, capabilities, and opportunities systematically disadvantage certain groups of people, rendering them more vulnerable to the impact of natural disasters. In this article we address the specific vulnerability of girls and women with respect to mortality from natural disasters and their aftermath. Biological and physiological differences between the sexes are unlikely to explain large-scale gender differences in mortality rates. Social norms and role behaviors provide some further explanation, but what is likely to matter most is the everyday socioeconomic status of women. In a sample of up to 141 countries over the period 1981 to 2002 we analyze the effect of disaster strength and its interaction with the socioeconomic status of women on the change in the gender gap in life expectancy. We find, first, that natural disasters lower the life expectancy of women more than that of men. In other words, natural disasters (and their subsequent impact) on average kill more women than men or kill women at an earlier age than men. Since female life expectancy is generally higher than that of males, for most countries natural disasters narrow the gender gap in life expectancy. Second, the stronger the disaster (as approximated by the number of people killed relative to population size), the stronger this effect on the gender gap in life expectancy. That is, major calamities lead to more severe impacts on female life expectancy (relative to that of males) than do smaller disasters. Third, the higher women’s socioeconomic status, the weaker is this effect on the gender gap in life expectancy. Taken together our results show that it is the socially constructed gender-specific vulnerability of females built into everyday socioeconomic patterns that lead to the relatively higher female disaster mortality rates compared to men. Key Words: gender, mortality, natural disaster, socioeconomic status, vulnerability.

Amartya Sen's capability approach and social justice in education - Walker, M.; Unterhalter, E. (Palgrave Macmillan, 2007)

Singapore´ s Climate Change Policy: The Limits of Learning - Hamilton‐Hart, Natasha (Contemporary Southeast Asia: A Journal of International and Strategic Affairs, 2006)
Singapore's climate change policy underwent an apparently significant shift in 2006, when the country announced that it would accede to the Kyoto Protocol of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. Singapore had previously rejected the possibility of accession as being incompatible with its interests and outside its international obligations. Since Singapore contributes only a small amount to global greenhouse gas emissions, the consequences of its accession are not great in global terms. However, the reasons behind Singapore's change in policy are worth exploring, as they shed light on the prospects for broadening and strengthening the global climate change regime. If the change in Singapore's policy was the result of rising affluence and being socialized into adopting global environmental norms, it would suggest that continued economic growth and global engagement have the potential to strengthen the global regime. In fact, there is no evidence of deep socialization or normative change in Singapore's climate change policy. Rather, Singapore has learnt the language associated with global environmentalism. In concrete terms, Singapore's policy has changed only minimally and the decision to accede to the Kyoto Protocol appears to have been informed by a reassessment of economic costs and benefits.

Neighborhood microclimates and vulnerability to heat stress - Harlan, Sharon L.; Brazel, Anthony J.; Prashad, Lela; Stefanov, William L.; Larsen, Larissa (Social Science & Medicine, 2006)
Human exposure to excessively warm weather, especially in cities, is an increasingly important public health problem. This study examined heat-related health inequalities within one city in order to understand the relationships between the microclimates of urban neighborhoods, population characteristics, thermal environments that regulate microclimates, and the resources people possess to cope with climatic conditions. A simulation model was used to estimate an outdoor human thermal comfort index (HTCI) as a function of local climate variables collected in 8 diverse city neighborhoods during the summer of 2003 in Phoenix, USA. HTCI is an indicator of heat stress, a condition that can cause illness and death. There were statistically significant differences in temperatures and HTCI between the neighborhoods during the entire summer, which increased during a heat wave period. Lower socioeconomic and ethnic minority groups were more likely to live in warmer neighborhoods with greater exposure to heat stress. High settlement density, sparse vegetation, and having no open space in the neighborhood were significantly correlated with higher temperatures and HTCI. People in warmer neighborhoods were more vulnerable to heat exposure because they had fewer social and material resources to cope with extreme heat. Urban heat island reduction policies should specifically target vulnerable residential areas and take into account equitable distribution and preservation of environmental resources.

Climatic change and rural–urban migration: The case of sub-Saharan Africa - Barrios, Salavador; Bertinelli, Luisito; Strobl, Eric (Journal of Urban Economics, 2006)
We investigate the role that climatic change has played in the pattern of urbanization in sub-Saharan African countries compared to the rest of the developing world. To this end we assemble a cross-country panel data set that allows us to estimate the determinants of urbanization. The results of our econometric analysis suggest that climatic change, as proxied by rainfall, has acted to change urbanization in sub-Saharan Africa but not elsewhere in the developing world. Moreover, this link has become stronger since decolonization, which is likely due to the often simultaneous lifting of legislation prohibiting the free internal movement of native Africans.

Effects of bilingualism, noise, and reverberation on speech perception by listeners with normal hearing - Rogers, Catherine L.; Lister, Jennifer J.; Febo, Dashielle M.; Besing, Joan M.; Abrams, Harvey B. (Applied Psycholinguistics, 2006)
This study compared monosyllabic word recognition in quiet, noise, and noise with reverberation for 15 monolingual American English speakers and 12 Spanish–English bilinguals who had learned English prior to 6 years of age and spoke English without a noticeable foreign accent. Significantly poorer word recognition scores were obtained for the bilingual listeners than for the monolingual listeners under conditions of noise and noise with reverberation, but not in quiet. Although bilinguals with little or no foreign accent in their second language are often assumed by their peers, or their clinicians in the case of hearing loss, to be identical in perceptual abilities to monolinguals, the present data suggest that they may have greater difficulty in recognizing words in noisy or reverberant listening environments.

Learning with Local Help: Expanding the Dialogue on Climate Change and Water Management in the Okanagan Region, British Columbia, Canada - Cohen, Stewart; Neilsen, D.; Smith, Scott A.; Neale, Tina; Taylor, Bill; Barton, Mark; Merritt, Wendy; Alila, Younes; Shepherd, Philippa; McNeill, Roger; Tansey, James; Carmichael, Jeff; et al. (Climatic Change, 2006)
The research activity described in this report is a comprehensive regional assessment of the impacts of climate change on water resources and options for adaptation in the Okanagan Basin. The ultimate goal of the project is to develop integrated climate change and water resource scenarios to stimulate a multistakeholder discussion on the implications of climate change for water management in the region. The paper describes two main objectives: (a) providing a set of research products that will be of relevance to regional interests in the Okanagan, and (b) establishing a methodology for participatory integrated assessment of regional climate change impacts and adaptation that could be applied to climate-related concerns in Canada and other countries. This collaborative study has relied on field research, computer-based models, and dialogue exercises to generate an assessment of future implications, and to learn about regional views on the prospects for adaptation. Along the way, it has benefited from strong partnerships with governments, researchers, local water practitioners, and user groups. Building on the scenario-based study components, and a series of interviews and surveys undertaken for the water management and adaptation case study components, a set of stakeholder dialogue sessions were organized which focused on identifying preferred adaptation options and processes for their implementation. Rather than seeking consensus on the “best” option or process, regional interests were asked to consider a range of available options as part of an adaptation portfolio that could address both supply side and demand side aspects of water resources management in the Okanagan.

Realist review – a new method of systematic review designed for complex policy interventions - Pawson, Ray; Greenhalgh, Trisha; Harvey, Gill; Walshe, Kieran (Journal of Health Services Research & Policy, 2005)
Evidence-based policy is a dominant theme in contemporary public services but the practical realities and challenges involved in using evidence in policy-making are formidable. Part of the problem is one of complexity. In health services and other public services, we are dealing with complex social interventions which act on complex social systems–things like league tables, performance measures, regulation and inspection, or funding reforms. These are not 'magic bullets' which will always hit their target, but programmes whose effects are crucially dependent on context and implementation. Traditional methods of review focus on measuring and reporting on programme effectiveness, often find that the evidence is mixed or conflicting, and provide little or no clue as to why the intervention worked or did not work when applied in different contexts or circumstances, deployed by different stakeholders, or used for different purposes. This paper offers a model of research synthesis which is designed to work with complex social interventions or programmes, and which is based on the emerging 'realist' approach to evaluation. It provides an explanatory analysis aimed at discerning what works for whom, in what circumstances, in what respects and how. The first step is to make explicit the programme theory (or theories)–the underlying assumptions about how an intervention is meant to work and what impacts it is expected to have. We then look for empirical evidence to populate this theoretical framework, supporting, contradicting or modifying the programme theories as it goes. The results of the review combine theoretical understanding and empirical evidence, and focus on explaining the relationship between the context in which the intervention is applied, the mechanisms by which it works and the outcomes which are produced. The aim is to enable decision-makers to reach a deeper understanding of the intervention and how it can be made to work most effectively. Realist review does not provide simple answers to complex questions. It will not tell policy-makers or managers whether something works or not, but will provide the policy and practice community with the kind of rich, detailed and highly practical understanding of complex social interventions which is likely to be of much more use to them when planning and implementing programmes at a national, regional or local level.

Developing a Culture of Learning in a Changing Industrial Climate: An Australian Case Study - Dymock, Darryl (Advances in Developing Human Resources, 2003)
The problem and the solution. An organization that does not have a history of being a learning organization but has experienced generally confrontational industrial relations began to change its learning culture. This study suggests that even without a systematic approach, some of the features of a learning organization can develop through efforts at the individual and the systemic levels but that the issue of power relationships in the organization is highly significant.

Contests over Meaning in a South African Classroom: Introducing Critical Language Awareness in a Climate of Social Change and Cultural Diversity - Granville, Stella (Language and Education, 2003)
This paper describes an action research project which took place at the Johannesburg College of Education in the period immediately before and after South Africa's first democratic election in 1994. Student teachers from diverse social and cultural backgrounds were introduced to Critical Language Awareness theory (CLA) and encouraged to read texts critically and differently – to make new meanings in what was a radically changed social, political and educational context from their previous school experiences. Students produced multiple readings of the same texts and what ensued were intense struggles over meaning in a range of other contexts as well. The writer of this paper shows how a discourse analysis of student journals helped to describe and explain these contests over meaning, some of which involved issues around new teaching methodologies, social identities and fear of change. She also describes how she attempted to create a more productive learning environment in which diverse meanings could be accommodated and accepted.

Optimization of architectural design elements in tropical humid region with thermal comfort approach - Prianto, E; Depecker, P (Energy and Buildings, 2003)
The air temperature and humidity combined in the enthalpy have a strong impact on the perceived air quality, and perceived air quality determines the required ventilation in ventilation standard. In tropical humid climate, which is mainly characterized by an elevated air temperature and a high relative humidity, obtaining the comfort conditions in the buildings can make by permitting sufficient interior air velocity. Air movements inside a building depend not only on external wind velocity, but also a number of architectural design element. This study aims to find out the effect of architectural design in naturally ventilated building to obtain thermal comfort in tropical humid regions. The applicability of some architectural design elements such as type and location of window, balcony configuration, and interior division was assessed using numerical simulation. The analysis shows that balcony, most window configurations and interior division plays a significant role in modifying the indoor thermal condition but it does not always need a higher air speed.

The effects of gender, acclimation state, the opportunity to adjust clothing and physical disability on requirements for thermal comfort - Parsons, K. C. (Energy and Buildings, 2002)
A program of laboratory studies into thermal comfort requirements is presented. Two studies used groups of 16 subjects over a range of conditions (warm to cool) to investigate the effects of gender over 3h exposures in simulated living room/office environments. It was found that for identical levels of clothing and activity, there were only small differences in the thermal comfort responses of male and female subjects for neutral and slightly warm conditions. For cool conditions, female subjects tended to be cooler than males. An experiment to investigate the effects of heat acclimation on thermal comfort requirements involved six male subjects providing thermal comfort responses in neutral and slightly warm environments over 2 days. They then carried out an acclimatization program over 4 days, for 2h per day, exercising in a hot (45°C, 40% relative humidity) environment. Thermal comfort responses were then recorded in two sessions over 2 days in identical conditions to the pre-acclimation session. It was found that changes in thermal comfort responses were small and likely to be of little practical significance. An investigation into the behavior of people to maintain thermal comfort by adjusting their clothing was conducted using eight male and eight female subjects. Seated subjects reduced or increased their clothing level by using a wardrobe of clothing that was familiar to them. It was found that subjects can adjust their clothing to maintain thermal comfort, but within limits. Upper limits (clothing off) will be determined by modesty and acceptability. Lower limits (clothing on) will be determined by clothing design and acceptability. A low air temperature limit of 18°C in freely available clothing may provide a working hypothesis. A laboratory study of thermal comfort requirements for people with physical disabilities compared responses with those of people without physical disabilities. It was found that there are few group differences between thermal comfort requirements of people with and without physical disabilities. However, there is a greater necessity to consider individual requirements for people with physical disability.

Artificial neural networks for predicting air flow in a naturally ventilated test room - Kalogirou, S A; Eftekhari, M M; Pinnock, D J (Building Services Engineering Research and Technology, 2001)
The objective of this research is to investigate air flow distribution inside a light weight test room which is naturally ventilated using artificial neural networks. The test room is situated in a relatively sheltered location and is ventilated through adjustable louvres. Indoor air temperature and velocity are measured at four locations and six different levels. The outside local temperature, relative humidity, wind velocity and direction are also monitored. The collected data are used to predict the air flow across the test room. A multi-layer feedforward neural network was employed with three hidden slabs. Satisfactory results with correlation coefficients equal to 0.985 and 0.897, for the indoor temperature and combined velocity, respectively have been obtained when unknown input data, not used for network training, were used as input. Both values are satisfactory especially if the fact that combined velocity readings were very unstable is considered. The work presented in this paper primarily aims to show the suitability of neural networks to perform such predictions. In order to make the method more usable the training database needs to be enriched with readings from actual measurements from a number of applications.

GMM Estimation with persistent panel data: an application to production functions - Blundell, Richard; Bond, Stephen (Econometric Reviews, 2000)
This paper considers the estimation of Cobb-Douglas production functions using panel data covering a large sample of companies observed for a small number of time periods. GMM estimatorshave been found to produce large finite-sample biases when using the standard first-differenced estimator. These biases can be dramatically reduced by exploiting reasonable stationarity restrictions on the initial conditions process. Using data for a panel of R&Dperforming US manufacturing companies we find that the additional instruments used in our extended GMM estimator yield much more reasonable parameter estimates.

RetroLite: An artificial intelligence tool for lighting energy-efficiency upgrade - Guo, Bo; Belcher, Clay; Roddis, W. M. Kim (Energy and Buildings, 1993)
A prototype software tool integrating knowledge-base and database approaches is developed to solve lighting-retrofit problems for energy conservation and management purposes. Founded on the types of problems and the conceptual differences between conventional programming and knowledge-based expert systems, it is felt that a system which combines both approaches is best for solving lighting-retrofit problems. The architecture of the system is built on the concept of knowledge-based expert systems and its links to a database. A commercially available knowledge-engineering tool and a dBase III-compatible complier are used for system development. Improvements necessary to upgrade the current research system into a deliverable tool are suggested.

Health and behavior of children in classrooms with and without windows - Küller, Rikard; Lindsten, Carin (Journal of Environmental Psychology, 1992)
The aims of the study were to assess the effects of light on the production of stress hormones, classroom performance, body growth, and sick leave, of school children. About 90 children were investigated in their school environment for a duration of one school year. The children were situated in four classrooms differing in respect to the access to natural daylight and artificial fluorescent light. The results indicated the existence of a systematic seasonal variation with more stress hormones in summer than in winter. The children situated in the one classroom lacking both natural daylight and fluorescent daylight tubes demonstrated a marked deviation from this pattern. High levels of morning cortisol were associated with sociability, while moderate or low levels seemed to promote individual concentration. Annual body growth was smallest for the children with the highest levels of morning cortisol. Possibly, the production of cortisol had some influence on sick leave. It may be concluded, that windowless classrooms should be avoided for permanent use.

Classroom Environment: a literature review - MacAulay, Dolina J. (Educational Psychology, 1990)
The literature on classroom environment from 1980 onwards is reviewed. Special reference is made to elementary settings and to students with behavioral deficits. Structure and organization, cognitive processes, student characteristics and teacher characteristics are all seen as being capable of modification. It is concluded that the achievement of a match between students' preferences and instructional settings is a necessary condition for maximizing their cognitive, social and affective outcomes.

Economic Theory and International Migration - Borjas, George J. (International Migration Review, 1989)
The modern literature on the economics of immigration focuses on 3 related issues: 1) what determines the size and skill composition of immigrants flows to any particular host country; 2) how do the immigrants adapt to the host country's economy; and 3) what is the impact of immigrants on the host country's economy? This article reviews the theoretical framework and empirical evidence provided by the economics literature on these questions. It demonstrates that the economic approach, using the assumption that migration behavior is guided by the search for better economic opportunities and that the exchanges among the various players are regulated by an immigration market, leads to substantial insights in to these issues.

A field experiment has been carried out to find optimum thermal comfort zone with elementary school children aged 12 yr for seven days during the summer and winter of 1984-1985 in Seoul. Total of 76 children were asked to record their feelings-thermal sensation, humidity sensation and freshness-3 times a day. Thermal Comfort Meters were also used to measure Comfort Temperature and Predicted Percentage of Dissatisfied.
