The cooperative game of global temperature lacks automaticity and emotional jamming. To solve this issue, an agent-based modelling method is developed based on Milinski’s noncooperative game experiments. In addition, genetic algorithm is used to improve the investment strategy of each agent. Simulations are carried out by designing different coding schemes, mutation schemes, and fitness functio...

People process uncertainty information in two qualitatively different systems. Most climate forecast communications assume people process information analytically. Yet people also rely heavily on an experiential processing system. Better understanding of experiential processing may lead to more comprehensible risk communication products. Retranslation of statistical information into concrete (v...

Introduction: Emotional intelligence is defined as the ability to manage emotions effectively. It has a clear impact on well-being of schoolchildren. A large body studies shown how emotional impacts psychological and contextual variables, but less known about school context may influence in development during childhood. The objectives this research were describe level climate for schoolchildren...

Societies in semi-arid areas in developing regions are amongst those most vulnerable to climate variability and potentially most vulnerable to climate change. The vulnerability to climate variability emerges from a combination of the level of availability of natural resources and the human dependency on these resources. In semi-arid regions, the limited availability of water and the low reliabi...

Climate change-related hazards and disasters, known to adversely impact physical and mental health outcomes, are also expected to result in human migration above current levels. Environmentally-motivated migration and displacement may lead to the disruption of existing social ties, with potentially adverse consequences for mobile populations as well as their family members who remain in places ...

Scarce resources are the inseparable part of organization life. This fact that only small number of the employees can have these resources such as promotion, raise, and recognition can cause competition among employees, which create competitive climate. As well as any other competition, small number wins the reward, and a great number loses, one of the possible emotional reactions to this loss ...

The adaptation of European children to life in tropical climates is a subject fraught with emotional and political undercurrents. The literature on the subject can be divided into two main groups: that concerning children living in areas where the European immigrant population is becoming assured, such as tropical Australia and Central America where the favourable aspects are emphasized (Cilent...

Self-organising systems adapt to environmental change, and this ability modulates the relationship between specific exposures and outcomes. Vulnerability can be thought of as the sensitivity of the system to multiple exposures, taking into account the system’s ability to adapt. This paper describes 5 causes of vulnerability to climate change in the Asia Pacific region: destructive growth, pover...

scale analyses are essential for revealing how the infl uence of specifi c ecological factors changes with scale (Wiens 1989). In this study, we present a novel methodology that can be broadly-applied to assess the scale-dependency of species ’ distributions. Distribution changes – such as those that occur in response to species introductions or climate change – provide ecological experiments t...
