The debate on “Loss and Damage” (L&D) has gained traction over the last few years. Supported by growing scientific evidence of anthropogenic climate change amplifying frequency, intensity and duration of climate-related hazards as well as observed increases in climate-related impacts and risks in many regions, the “Warsaw International Mechanism for Loss and Damage” was established in 2013 and
The Arctic is often perceived as the new resource frontier in a resource hungry world. Many actors both inside and outside the region are eager to know what opportunities lie under the ice, and many claim a say in the future development of the Arctic. In Greenland, a national economy based on natural resources will lessen the dependence on the former colonial power Denmark. Many consider this an i
Water resources face risks due to water use stress and water scarcity. Collective and integrated actions by different institutions and stakeholders are needed to reduce future water risks. This paper aimed to assess the potential for a water stewardship partnership in River Nzoia Basin to reduce future water risks facing the ecosystem, agriculture, and other sectors by quantifying water risks and
The testing method proposed in the Cleanroom methodology is Statistical Usage Testing. This testing technique is based on that the test cases represent theoperational profile. The failure data from testing is then used in a software reliability model to certify the reliability of the software. This paper introduces a new model for modelling the usage of the system, i.e. the operational profile. It
Modern programs make extensive use of reusable software libraries. For example, a study of a number of large Java applications shows that between 17% and 30% of the classes in those applications use container classes defined in the java.util package. Given this extensive code reuse in Java programs, it is important for the interfaces of reusable classes to be well documented. An interface is well
120 kristna mördades, 128 kidnappades, det genomförde 146 attacker mot kyrkor och 700 kristna familjer tvingades fly sina hem under 2013. Detta var priset för att Muslimska Brödraskapet utövade makten i Egypten under ett år. Ett högt pris för kristna i Egypten men kan inte jämföras med andra länder i regionen.
It is only relatively recently that Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) hasbeen recognised in children. Controlled treatment outcome studies ofchildhood PTSD are scarce, but those that exist indicate that CognitiveBehaviour Therapy (CBT) is an effective intervention. In this article, webriefly describe PTSD in children and outline some behavioural andcognitive models of the disorder. Derived fro
IEEE 1687 enables flexible access to on-chip instruments via dynamically reconfigurable networks. Reconfiguration allows reducing instrument access time by keeping only those instruments on the scan-path which are required for each access. To perform reconfiguration and execute commands described in instrument access procedures, scan vectors are generated in a process called retargeting. These vec
Chiral perturbation theory relates the |S|=2 matrix element K0|(sd)V-A×(sd)V-A|K0 to the |S|=1 matrix element +0|(sd)V-A(uu)V-A+(su)V- A×(ud)V-A-(sd)V-A(dd)V-A|K+. The latter matrix element is measured in K++0 decay and the former matrix element is relevant for the predictions that the standard model makes for CP nonconservation in K0-K0 mixing. In this paper the corrections of order mK4 lnmK2 to
This paper presents a novel polynomial constraint for homographies compatible with the general planar motion model. In this setting, compatible homographies have five degrees of freedom-instead of the general case of eight degrees of freedom-and, as a consequence, a minimal solver requires 2.5 point correspondences. The existing minimal solver, however, is computationally expensive, and we propose
