Attention has recently been paid to how REDD+ mitigation policies are integrated into other sectoral policies, particularly those dealing with climate adaptation at the national level. But there is less understanding of how subnational policy and local projects are able to incorporate attention to adaptation; therefore, we use a case study in Vietnam to discuss how REDD+ projects and policies a...

BACKGROUND The concept of vulnerability has held a central place in research ethics guidance since its introduction in the United States Belmont Report in 1979. It signals mindfulness for researchers and research ethics boards to the possibility that some participants may be at higher risk of harm or wrong. Despite its important intended purpose and widespread use, there is considerable disagre...

the current study aimed to define some factors contributing to implicit attitude formation mainly in the social interaction context. an agent-based computer simulation of a society including autonomous agents and an attitude object was used to track the implicit attitude progress towards the object. the society could simulate the autonomic behaviors. we provided a complex adaptive system and ob...

This paper empirically estimates the effects of electric vehicles (EVs) on passenger car emissions to inform design policies that encourage EV purchases in Norway. We use exceptionally rich data universe cars and households from Norway, which has a very high share EVs, thanks generous tax incentives other policies. Our suggest household-level emission savings purchase additional EVs are limited...

Sarcasm often relates to people’s implicit discontent with certain products and policies. Existing research mainly focus on sarcasm detection, while the deep causal relationships in full conversation remained unexplored. This paper formulates a novel question of cause proposes an attention based model that simultaneously captures different semantic associations as well inner logics multi-view m...

followership is a developing paradigm in organizational behavior which focusesmainly on followers. the goal of this study is to explore follower’s implicitfollowership theories (ifts) which entail an analysis of follower’s views andperception about followership. for this purpose, based on a phenomenologicalapproach, semi-structured interviews with employees of large public and privateorganizati...

Due to improvements in computational resources, interest has recently increased in using implicit scheme for solving flow equations on 3D unstructured grids. However, most of the implicit schemes produce greater numerical diffusion error than their corresponding explicit schemes. This stems from the fact that in linearizing implicit fluxes, it is conventional to replace the Jacobian matrix in t...
