Cutting the Gordian Knot Adequacy, Realism and Equity

چکیده
Despite the almost impossible complexity of the climate deadlock, it is possible to map its most profound contours. They range, unsurprisingly, outside the traditional domains of climate politics, across lands defined by post-Cold War geopolitics, the struggle for development, the challenges of sustainability. For all this, however, they define a tangle – a Gordian Knot – in which three principle strands may be clearly discerned: adequacy, realism, and equity.

Gender-equity in health means having equal opportunities of gaining access to the available resources, a democratic distribution of power and know-how in the health system and a health policy benefitt...

who married the fertility goddess Cybele, became king of Phrygia. He then dedicated his chariot to Zeus in the city Gordium and fastened it to a column with a large, complicated knot that became known as the Gordian knot. An oracle predicted that the future king of Asia would be the only person who could disentangle this knot. Many individuals who traveled to Gordium attempted to untie the knot...
متن کاملGordian Distance and Vassiliev Invariants
The Gordian distance between two knots measures how many crossing changes are needed to transform one knot into the other. It is known that there are always infinitely many nonequivalent knots ‘between’ a pair of knots of Gordian distance two. In this paper we prove an extreme generalisation of this fact: there are knots with arbitrarily prescribed Vassiliev invariants between every pair of kno...
متن کاملCutting the Gordian Knot: The Moving-Average Type-Token Ratio (MATTR)
Type–token ratio (TTR), or vocabulary size divided by text length (V/N), is a timehonoured but unsatisfactory measure of lexical diversity. The problem is that the TTR of a text sample is affected by its length. We present an algorithm for rapidly computing TTR through a moving window that is independent of text length, and we demonstrate that this measurement can detect changes within a text a...
