the effects of farright challenges on international organizations

the rise of the far right poses a profound challenge to global politics diverse farright actors such as political parties civil society groups and social movements have been gaining support in domestic contexts while intensifying their transnational contacts as these groups focus on national sovereignty and share a stance against globalization they often contest international organizations ios and their policies yet their impact on international organizations differs on the one hand farright groups have profoundly changed negotiations on the global compact for migration in the un on the other hand radicalright parties in the european parliament have hardly brought about any deeper policy changes why does transnational farright contestation have varying effects on international organizationswhile scholars have analyzed farright actors in domestic politics knowledge about their transnational activities and effects is limited farrio fills this gap empirically theoretically and methodologically empirically it compares effects of farright contestation on the eu the un and its specialized agenciestreaties in four central policy fields migration womens rights climate change and public health theoretically it proposes that io changes depend on the directness of farright strategies and the liberal character of international organizations it thereby breaks new ground in identifying scope conditions for farright impact highly relevant for research on transnational protest as well as io resilience and change methodologically farrio draws on and further develops quantitative and qualitative methods it adapts protest event and networks analysis to map transnational farright contestation also including social media data bridging comparative politics social movement studies and the study of international relations farrio assesses the challenge farright actors pose to ios as well as what measures are suited to respond to it
lowcost and ecofriendly localized waterinsalt electrolytebased rechargeable anodefree znion batteries

aqueous zinc ion batteries azibs have attracted tremendous attention for the application in the field of largescale energy storage devices due to their instinct properties of nonflammability lowcost and high ionic conductivity of aqueous electrolyte rechargeable anodefree zinc ion batteries afzibs have multiple advantages over its conventional counterpart especially by removing zn metal in its initial state the weight and volume of anodefree cells is significantly reduced maximizing the energy density of azibs the obstacles impeding practical applications of afzibs originated from the h2 evolution during batteries cycling in a typical zincion battery electrolyte zn2 solvated with six water molecules forms hydrated zinc ion znh2o62 preliminary research implies that h2 evolution primarily originates from solvated water rather than free water not interacting with zn2 since the interaction between h2o and zn2 weakens the oh bond of h2o leading to deprotonation of the solvated water waterinsalt electrolytes wises can prevent the formation of hydrated zinc ions znh2o62 thus suppressing h2 evolution however in such case boosted electrochemical performance is achieved only at high costs because a large quantity of expensive fluorinated salts is used in electrolyte in this project we aim to lower the wise salt concentration by diluting the electrolytes with an inert solvent called a diluent that dissolves the water but not the salt therefore the diluent does not alter the salt solvation structure of wies forming a localized waterinsalt electrolyte lwise the asdesigned lwise is expected to have the same effect as wise regarding h2 evolution suppression but is comparable to the conventional dilute aqueous electrolyte in terms of production cost and ecofriendliness the asdesigned lwise will be finally demonstrated in different prototypes from labscale coin cells to industry largescale pouch cells

breaking the wall between professional science and citizen science by hyperautomation

citizen science has become an integral part of biodiversity research with enormous potential for both improving biodiversity monitoring and involving citizens in scientific projects however the full integration of data generated with citizen science in professional research programs has not been fully reached this is largely due to methodological challenges that compromise the value of the data that most citizen science projects have up to date generated hypercitizen will create an innovative solution that enables citizen science projects to generate data that are essentially equally informative as data generated by professional scientists at the same time hypercitizen will provide additional value for the citizen scientists themselves engaging them more profoundly to scientific research than has been earlier possible hypercitizen derives from recent results generated by the ercsynergy project lifeplan a planetary inventory of life a new synthesis built on big data combined with novel statistical methods hypercitizen will develop a mobile phone application for citizen science based bird monitoring enabling realtime interaction with users by hyperautomation it will further develop computationally highly scalable methods for i convolutional neural network based bird vocalization classification and ii joint species distribution modelling used produce prediction maps on past present and future distributions of birds and their vocalizations the proof of concept will be delivered by teaming up with bird enthusiast organizations and the finnish national broadcasting company to launch and run a citizen science campaign on finnish bird monitoring culminating in the great migratory bird evening in spring 2024 hypercitizen aimed to demonstrate how public can be engaged in research in a way that breaks the current wall between citizen science and professional science
causes and consequences of higher host specialisation in the tropics the role of ecological and evolutionary processes and of data bias

while the latitudinal diversity gradient is one of the rare patterns that might be considered general and widely accepted in ecology the latitudinal specialisation gradient remains controversial ecological specialisation varies greatly across the tree of life with clades that depend on a host organism for survival being among the most specialised understanding the processes that produce the global pattern of increasing host specialisation with decreasing latitude would be a breakthrough in the field of evolutionary ecology this project will investigate the causes and consequences of higher host specialisation in the tropics focusing on fundamental repertoires expressed and nonexpressed host use abilities first we will test if tropical species are genetically more specialised to their hosts by identifying hostassociated gene modules and reconstructing their evolution across tropical and temperate species in the tribe nymphalini then we will test if higher specialisation is an artifact of data scarcity in the tropics for that we will develop an efficient approach for data collection based on interaction prediction and produce a comprehensive dataset of fundamental and realised host repertoires for tropical melitaeini butterflies then including the entire nymphalidae family we will test if evolution of species interactions in the tropics favours specialisation we will apply a combination of phylogenetic and network analyses to existing global datasets augmented with all data produced in this project to unravel how fundamental host repertoires evolve and whether current theory is able to explain tropical interactions equally well as the betterstudied temperate interactions finally we will quantify the consequences of host specialisation in a changing world in terms of risk of coextinction the frameworks developed here can be easily expanded to other symbionthost systems increasing the significance of this research far beyond butterflies
unveiling the mysteries of stellar dynamics a pioneering journey in magnetoasteroseismology

while stellar evolution has been considered one of the most wellunderstood astrophysical processes for decades a massive revolution is in motion thanks to probes of dynamical processes in stellar interiors with asteroseismology through this study of stellar oscillations core rotationrate measurements point out a very efficient extraction of angular momentum in the depths of stars it represents one of the most fundamental yet poorly understood processes throughout stellar evolutionary journeys this critical knowledge gap casts significant doubt on our ability to accurately date astronomical objects in the universe using current stellar models as an efficient angular momentum transport would bring fuel to the burning core and therefore extend the life of the star intermediatemass stars imstars are the perfect laboratory to elevate our understanding of angular momentum transport in stars as their structure and internal dynamics resemble that of lowmass stars in the late stages of evolution as well as highmass stars during the earliest stages the recent discovery of surprising oscillation mode frequencies and amplitudes revealed the presence of stable magnetic fields in the radiative core of a few red giant stars similar to fields observed at the surface of 10 of imstars during the preceding phases and later on when they lose their envelope the calcifer erc project aims at pioneering magnetoasteroseismology through an unprecedented exploration of the evolution of magnetic imstars we will use observed stellar oscillations to unlock the invisible unveiling magnetic processes controlling the dynamics of the plasma in the depths of imstars along their evolutionary journey the ultimate objective of this ambitious and unifying project is to deliver the first meticulously informed model of the magnetized evolution of imstars from birth to death fundamentally impacting our ability to date structures in the universe
pollinatorassisted plant natural selection and breeding under climate change pressure

food security is threatened by climate change with heat and drought being the main stresses affecting crop physiology and ecosystem services such as plantpollinator interactions despite the increasing relevance of flowers in sensing the stress phenotyping platforms aim at identifying genetic traits of resilience by assessing the physiological status of the plants usually through remote sensingassisted vegetative indexes but find strong bottlenecks in quantifying flower traits and in accurate genotypetophenotype prediction however as the transport of photoassimilates from leaves sources to flowers sinks is reduced in lowresilient plants flowers are better indicators than leaves of plant wellbeing indeed the chemical composition of flowers changes in response to heat and drought as it does the amount of pollen and nectar that flowers produce which ultimately serve as food recourses for the pollinators darkwin proposes to track and rank pollinators preferences for flowers of a tomato mapping population exposed to heat and drought as a measure of functional sourcetosink relationships to achieve this goal darkwin will develop a pollinatorassisted selection and phenotyping platform for automated quantification of genotype x pollinator x environment interactions through a bumblebee geopositioning system pollinatorassisted selection for agriculture will be validated by a multiomics dataset of unprecedented dimensions in a mapping population of tomato including floral metabolic transcriptomic and ionomic traits as well as mapping candidate genes linking floral traits pollinator preferences and plant resilience moreover darkwin will deliver tomato f1 precommercial varieties based on the natural biological process of pollinatordriven selection under climate change conditions this radical new approach can change the current paradigm of plant phenotyping and find new paths for crop breeding assisted by ecological decisions
isotope imaging for ice core science

the isotope imaging for ice core science imagics project aims at pushing the resolution of water stable isotopes analysis of ice cores down to the millimiterscale for detecting fast and abrupt climate signals imprinted in the 3d isotopic features of the ice recent studies on shallow cores and on snowfalls showed large variability of the snow isotopic composition during buildup of the snowpack such spatial and temporal features are then archived in the cross sectional and longitudinal components of the ice core however there are no published attempt aimed at investigating whether and how different climate conditions imprint both the horizontal and vertical isotopic composition variability of ice cores indeed such highresolution features cant be detected with current stateoftheart techniques like continuous flow analsys coupled to cavity ringdown spectroscopy crds because the analysis can be performed only on the longitudinal component of the core with limited resolution instead an innovative combination of crds and the microdestructive technique laser ablation la can be used to probe the isotopic composition of the ice both vertically and horizontally an important feature given by la is that almost the entire sample can be retained after analysis allowing preservation of the ice for future analysis imagics will bridge crds and la technologies to develop an innovative analytical framework to study ice cores after an initial phase focused on coupling optimisation between the instruments the project will be focused on detecting spatial features of the isotopic composition of real ice core samples from different historical periods the results of imagics will not only impact on the glaciology and paleoclimate research communities by providing a better tool to identify past abrupt climate changes but will also open the possibility to use different crds gas analysers with la systems on different matrixes such as speleothems and meteorites
