Mapeo de cangahuas mediante teledetección en el Ecuador
Authors: Jiménez Wilmer , Loayza Verónica , Metzler Eric
Published: September 2019

Los paisajes de la Sierra de Ecuador están estrechamente ligados a las actividades volcánicas suscitadas hace miles de años. Durante estos eventos se expulsaron materiales volcánicos y cenizas formando lodos volcánicos que se difundieron y endurecieron en las zonas de influencia de los volcanes. Luego el material fue cubierto por ceniza volcánica que desarrollo el suelo superficial. Los habitantes locales llaman a este material endurecido “cangahua”, que en idioma quichua quiere decir “tierra dura”. El mal manejo del suelo provocado por la presión sobre la tierra ha generado un proceso erosivo que ha arrastrado el suelo superficial y descubierto la cangahua interior de baja calidad agrícola. En la actualidad, el desarrollo de la agricultura en las zonas de cangahua es muy difícil y los agricultores tienden a abandonar estas tierras empobrecidas. El objetivo de este estudio fue generar el mapa de cangahuas superficiales del Ecuador a escala 1:25.000 para puntualizar la localización de la cangahua aflorante (expuesta en la superficie) y la cangahua en profundidad hasta 60 cm (cubierta por suelo u otro material). Se analizaron los factores decisivos para la afloración de cangahua como sistema volcánico, altitud, relieve, patrones de erosión y deposición, suelos y cobertura visible. Estos factores permitieron establecer la dinámica de comportamiento y presencia de este material en el paisaje mediante ortofotografía e imágenes satelitales de alta resolución espacial que se encuentran disponibles en las plataformas de Google Earth Pro y ArcGIS Earth, entre ellas DigitalGlobe y CNES/Airbus. El estudio se apoyó con información levantada en campo mediante GPS e información secundaria como mapas de suelos, geopedología, Modelo Digital del Terreno, curvas de nivel e imágenes Google Street View. Se demostró que, a nivel nacional, el área total de cangahuas superficiales es de 181.487 ha, de las cuales 13.162 ha corresponden a cangahua aflorante y 168.325 ha a cangahua en profundidad de hasta 60 cm.

Impacto económico del Tren Crucero en las comunidades por las que transita. Caso: Nizag y Palacio Real
Authors: Toctaguano Katherine
Published: September 2019

La necesidad que surge de las comunidades por lograr el bienestar a nivel social, económico y cultural, ha impulsado nuevas alternativas para lograr dichos objetivos, que ayuden al desarrollo local en las comunidades de mayor vulnerabilidad para poder ejecutar proyectos que contribuyan a dinamizar la economía local. En consecuencia, surge como alternativa viable el turismo comunitario, como factor que genere poblaciones autónomas en las que los beneficios sean equitativos para sus habitantes, produciendo impactos positivos a largo plazo. En el Ecuador se ejecutan proyectos que vinculan a poblaciones con altos índices de pobreza, para fomentar el desarrollo local de las mismas, tal como lo indica la última Constitución en vigencia que propone un Buen Vivir con la ayuda de los sectores público y privado. Es por eso que esta investigación surge con la finalidad de indagar cuáles son los verdaderos impactos socio-económicos que ha generado el proyecto estatal Tren Crucero como producto turístico en las poblaciones por las que transita con ayuda de datos cualitativos y cuantitativos referentes al objeto de estudio. Para la realización de la investigación se procedió a implementar encuestas y entrevistas a los principales actores involucrados en el estudio, resultados que indicaron falencias marcadas en los beneficios sociales y económicos de las poblaciones implicadas. Se obtuvo como conclusión que el desarrollo local en las comunidades es incipiente puesto que cada población se ha desarrollado de manera diferente y con distintos métodos; además, las instituciones estatales no han generado actividades contundentes que ayuden a las comunidades. Los proyectos estatales pueden y deben generar mejoras en los proyectos que se implementan en zonas vulnerables del país, ya que si la planificación, organización y ejecución son adecuadas puede llegar a ser una alternativa viable para el desarrollo local.

Authors: Corrêa Fábio , Ziviani Fabrício , Carvalho Dárlinton Barbosa Feres
Published: September 2019

Há sinalizações acadêmicas para o desenvolvimento de modelos de gerenciamento do conhecimento pautados no paradigma holístico. Mutuwa e Maiga afirmam que não há um modelo unificador para o setor de saúde, o que permite inferir que o modelo desses autores se propõe ao atingimento desse feito. Assim, esta pesquisa se justifica pelo objetivo de analisar a aderência do modelo de Mutuwa e Maiga à Gestão do Conhecimento holística, de modo a identificar se esse modelo supre a lacuna de uma estrutura unificadora para este setor. Essa análise é realizada por meio de procedimentos metodológicos mistos, contemplando a abordagem qualitativa-quantitativa e a Análise de Conteúdo. Por resultado, há uma adesão de somente 15,4% do modelo de Mutuwa e Maiga à Gestão do Conhecimento holística, conforme caracterização apresentada nessa pesquisa, permitindo inferir que a Gestão do Conhecimento não tem demonstrado direcionamento para uma abordagem orientada ao paradigma holístico. Assim, esta pesquisa contribui por fomentar o desenvolvimento de novos modelos de gerenciamento do conhecimento alicerçados no paradigma holístico, considerando os delineamentos aqui expostos.
Sob o risco de estresse: as consequências da emancipação feminina na revista Veja (2000 - 2018)
Authors: Freire Filho João Batista de Macedo , Bakker Bruna Werneck de Andrade
Published: September 2019

Considerado uma ‘epidemia global’ pela Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS), o estresse figura como um dos principais transtornos contemporâneos. Neste artigo, examinamos as construções discursivas do estresse feminino, ou seja, aquele especificamente relacionado às mulheres. Para isso, realizamos uma análise discursiva da revista Veja de 2000 a 2018. Nosso intuito é observar como o semanário trata as consequências da chamada ‘emancipação feminina’ em termos de estresse, a partir de duas principais vertentes: (1) a relação entre estresse, hormônios e TPM; (2) o estresse como consequência da ‘tripla jornada’ (o acúmulo dos papéis de profissional, esposa e mãe). Concluímos que tais discursos sobre o estresse feminino colaboram para reassegurar que certas fontes de tensão, bem como a forma de lidar com elas, sejam moralmente e fisiologicamente concernentes às mulheres.

Kebutuhan akan energi listrik yang terus meningkat tidak sebanding dengan suplay yang ada sehingga diperlukan energi alternatif. Aluminium merupakan salah satu sumber daya mineral hasil pengolahan bauksit, yang ketersediaannya cukup banyak. Sifat aluminium yang dapat di-recycle atau diolah ketika tidak digunakan lagi, menjadi bahan baku yang baik untuk pengembangan baterai logam udara yakni baterai aluminium udara atau Aluminium Air Battery. Reaksi yang terlibat adalah reaksi oksidasi pada anoda dan reduksi oksigen pada katoda, sehingga logam aluminium rentan terhadap korosi. Oleh karena itu, perlu ditambahkan zat inhibitor yang ramah lingkungan seperti ekstrak daun karamunting (Rhodomyrtus tomentosa) untuk menghambat laju korosi aluminium.Kata Kunci : aluminium, laju korosi

Authors: Poleshkina I. O.
Published: September 2019

The leading role of the transport system in the development of northern regions ofRussiafrom the point of view of national strategic interests and basing in the analysis of the features of those regions, has been identified. The problem of insufficient development of methods for assessing the state of the transportation market in the absence of year-round availability of transport routes has been revealed. Therefore, the concept of polyfunctionality of the transport system of northern regions has been proposed, along with core definitions in its regard. It involves performance of four core functions (economic, social, environmental, and geopolitical one), as well as of four developing functions (informational, innovative, institutional, and integrative one). Public statistics data required for implementation of the concept, but now unavailable, are identified.

The study shows the possible stakeholders interested in the implementation of those functions at the macro-, meso-, and micro levels, suggests indicators for assessing the multifunctional system. The research conclusions are developed using brief overview of international practices and data and situation analysis regarding Russian northern regions, particularlyRepublicofSakha(Yakutia).

To achieve success in the production sphere, any business entity must be able to quickly adapt to changing market conditions. Its financial and economic activities largely depend on speed of obtaining information, besides financial data, about factors influencing the results of both the daily work of the enterprise and achievement of long-term strategic goals. One of the effective methods of implementing the strategy in a form that is acceptable for a competitive environment is Balanced Score Card (BSC).

The article substantiates the need for its implementation in the practice of Russian repair shipyards, proposes a method for determining key performance indicators considering the customer focused business processes, targeted labour motivation and corporate psychology of personnel. The suggested model was adapted to the practices of an enterprise, model KPI were proposed and discussed.

Published: September 2019

The article argues that the fundamental transformations of business processes, characteristic of the era of digital economy, have so far affected Russian motor transport industry to a small extent. Digital transformation assumes a cardinal revision of the role of information technologies in management of the transportation process, based on a deep and comprehensive analysis of data, a fundamental change in approaches to organization of road transport production.

To this end, it is proposed to consider the concept of enterprise architecture, covering various aspects of shaping different aspects of a transport and logistics company, as well as methods for modeling system solutions. The article analyzes transportation management system solutions, compares different approaches to the architecture of an enterprise, tools of its development like ER-charts, basic notations, life cycle, business motivation model. The suggested model semantically links real objects, ITand business processes, social aspects, and structure organisation of an enterprise.

Published: September 2019

The industrial safety system at JSC Russian Railways has been developing for decades. In the new economic conditions, many of its basic principles have been preserved, but new factors have emerged that require scientific analysis, experimental verification, and modern technological tools. In the course of the research, an assessment was made of labour safety situation at the energy sites of electrified lines of railways with particular regard to the use of a removable insulating tower for catenary repairs, assessment of high voltage hazards for employees, peculiarities of construction of fire protection compartments, fire risk calculations. It is concluded that the calculation of an individual fire risk cannot be used as a necessary and sufficiently autonomous basis for substantiating the size of fire compartments. The removable insulating tower carriage and shunt rod developed atRussianUniversityof Transport are presented. Many conclusions have general character and are of universal interest.
Model for Determining the Optimal Trajectory of Movement of Consignments
Authors: Demin V. A. , Eurich S. , Efimenko D. B.
Published: September 2019

The suggested model for determining the optimal trajectories of moving consignments that form cargo flows in transport and logistics systems (TLS) is based on a combination of dynamic systems and multi-criteria optimization methods. This approach develops a methodology for solving applied control problems in TLS. Its main result is the principle of finding the maximum, subject to the criterion preferences, based on methods for determining the set of effective plans (Pareto set). At the same time, management in TLS should form models of cargo traffic taking into account the location of transport and storage complexes within the boundaries of the system being studied or designed, as well as should provide for movement of consignments according to specified performance criteria and the most rational trajectories using analytical modeling. Analytics together with digital technologies help to consider the core sense of TLS as of a subsystem of intelligent transport systems.
Digital Model: Behavior Forecast in Transport Processes
Authors: Gridin V. N. , Doenin V. V. , Panishchev V. V. , Razzhivaykin I. S.
Published: September 2019

In today’s world, many processes and events depend on forecasting. With development of mathematical models, an increasing number of factors influencing the final result of the forecast are taken into account, which in turn leads to the use of neural networks. But for training a neural network, source data sets are required, which are often not always sufficient or may not exist at all. The article describes a method of obtaining information as close to reality as possible. The proposed approach is to generate input data using simulation models of an object. The solution of a problem of generation of data sets and of training of a neural network is shown at the example of a typical marshalling railway station, and of a simulation of operations of a shunting hump. The considered examples confirmed the validity of the proposed methodological approach to generation of source data for neural networks using simulation models of a real object, based on a digital mathematical model, which makes it possible to obtain a simulation model of movement of transport objects, which is reliable in forecasting transport processes and creating relevant control algorithms.

Published: September 2019

Zmiiny island soils described as a function of a mirror of past, present and future of his landscape and ecological conditions and soil-forming processes. The article estimates the generalized scheme of soil-formation on the on dense acidic rocks of the island that includes gradually changing stages of weathering of rocks and formation of rubble-rocky crust of their weathering and local curuda formation - primitive soil formation - black soil formation under the steppe herbaceous vegetation on areas with a crust of weathering capacity of more than 10–12 cm. The soils profile here usually grows up as the biomass grows above-ground vegetation. There are two main scenarios of soil-forming and soils evolution have been proposed – optimistic with steep herbaceous vegetation preservation and further soil formation, and hazardous with herbaceous vegetation cover destroying. The strategy of measures to preserve the unique steppe landscape of the island with peculiar black soils recommends to prioritize tourist-recreational, health-improving and educational activities and systematic monitoring of the natural and ecological environment.
Key words: Zmiiny island, soils and soil cover, landscapes, soils and soil-forming evolution.
Change of general physical properties of Ukrainian Carpathians burozems (Cambisols) under the different phytocoenoses
Authors: Voitkiv Petro
Published: September 2019

Physical properties of soils determine the ecological status of forest ecosystems, in particular, virgin forest. In turn, the development of the plants root system, the nature of the soils’ moisture and nutrient regimes determine the physical properties of the soils. In addition, physical properties are taken into account when developing forest technical measures and are the basis for forestry operations. The Ukrainian Carpathians is characterized by a significant influence of the anthropogenic factor, which manifests itself in the massive deforestation of the forests, which radically changes the physical condition of the soils, so the study of these changes is extremely relevant. In addition, research of violations of the physical condition of burozems is extremely important for forests, as the deterioration of their physical properties reduces the resistance of forests to the wind throws. However, in the Ukrainian Carpathians, virgin forest ecosystems are still fragmentarily preserved and protected, which forms stable landscapes without human intervention, as a result of purely natural factors. Therefore, the study and analysis of changes occurred in the physical properties of burozems under the different phytocoenoses specifies on topicality of the work.
The purpose of the research is to study the general physical properties of the Ukrainian Carpathians burozems and their changes caused by different phytocoenoses. The object of research is the Ukrainian Carpathians burozems, which formed under the virgin forests, forests and reeds. The subject of research is the general physical properties of the Ukrainian Carpathians burozems, which formed under different phytocoenoses.
The results of investigations of the Ukrainian Carpathians burozems’ physical properties under the different phytocoenoses are presented. The general physical properties – bulk density of stony soils, bulk density of the silt, particle density, general porosity and aerial porosity are investigated. According to the results of the analysis of changes of the Ukrainian Carpathians burozems’ general physical properties under different phytocoenoses, one can conclude the following row: burozems of beech and oak-beech virgin forests are characterized by the best values of general physical properties, burozems of sycamore-beech forests – by the good, burozems of meadows – satisfactory, and burozems of beech-sycamore-oak forests and spruce virgin forests – by worst values.

Degradation processes in the soils of the Kolodnytsia River basin
Authors: Lemega Nadiya
Published: September 2019

This article presents the results of soil degradation studies of the Kolodnytsia River basin. The basin approach is applied in soil-geographical studies. The conditions for the formation of soils are studied depending on the morphometric characteristics of the river basin and soil-bearing rocks. The analysis of the causes of the spread of degradation processes of various species, which cause soil degradation, is carried out. Particular attention is paid to the anthropogenic factor of soil degradation, which began with the development of the territory by white Croats, that is, more than a thousand years ago. To study the degradation processes in the soils of the basin of the Kolodnytsia River, the following methods were used: comparative-geographic, comparative-profile, analytical, statistical, cartographic, basin, and catena. Field studies were conducted in the after-vegetation period. Soil erosion is the most widespread degradation process in the basin of the Kolodnytsia River, which is characterized by the destruction of the soil cover, the removal, transfer and redeposition of the soil mass. Over the past decades, erosion degradation has accelerated and taken on greater dimensions. Erosion degradation caused a decrease in the thickness of the genetic profile of soils, in weakly eroded varieties by 20 cm, in moderately eroded ones by 44 cm. In cultivated soils, the structural and aggregate state deteriorates. The content of agronomically valuable aggregates in the size of 10-0.25 mm in the humus-eluvial horizon of NOT soil under the forest is 52.6 %, under arable land – 25.3 %. The structural and aggregate composition of soils is characterized as satisfactory, the structural ratio is 1.10. Water erosion not only leads to a change in the morphological characteristics and physical properties of the soil, but also to loss of humus in the soil, nitrogen, phosphorus and other nutrients, a decrease in fertility and the like. To reduce soil degradation, it is necessary to minimize soil loading, improve the humus condition, and conserve moderately eroded soil.

Published: September 2019

Major depressive disorder (MDD) compromises the individual’s capacity for self-care and productivity. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) of a number of genes have been associated with MDD. The zinc transporter-3 protein, encoded by the ZnT3 (SLC30A3) gene, maintains zinc-glutamate homeostasis at the glutamatergic synapse, a disruption of which increases risk of MDD. We hypothesise that variation in SLC30A3 (rs11126936) SNP increases risk of MDD. We recruited 300 MDD cases and 300 controls, matched in the ratio of 1:1 by age, gender and ethnicity. PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was used in DNA genotyping, validated by sequencing 10% of samples. Deviation from the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was tested using the chi-square test. Conditional logistic regression was used to estimate adjusted odds ratios, controlling for age, gender, ethnicity, occupation and family monthly income. Genotypes G/G and G/T showed two times greater odds of developing MDD compared to variant genotype T/T (OR=1.983, 95% CI=1.031-3.815; p=0.040 and OR=2.232, 95% CI=1.100-4.533; p=0.026 respectively). Carriers of genotypes G/G and G/T of the SNP rs11126936 in SLC30A3 are associated with increased risk of MDD.

Pembelajaran tematik merupakan salah satu model dalam pembelajaran terpadu yang merupakan suatu sistem pembelajaran yang memungkinkan siswa, baik secara individu maupun kelompok, aktif menggali dan menemukan konsep serta prinsip-prinsip keilmuan secara holistik, bermakna, dan autentik. Pembelajaran tematik adalah suatu model pembelajaran yang memadukan beberapa materi pembelajaran dari berbagai standar kompetensi dan kompetensi dasar dari satu atau beberapa mata pelajaran. Penerapan pembelajaran ini dapat dilakukan melalui tiga pendekatan yakni: penentuan berdasarkan keterkaitan standar kompetensi dan kompetensi dasar, tema, dan masalah yang dihadapi. Pembelajaran tematik merupakan pembelajaran yang mengintegrasikan beberapa mata pelajaran kedalam sebuah tema, pembelajaran tematik di sekolah dasar menekankan keaktifan siswa pada pembelajaran, sehingga dengan keterlibatan siswa secara aktif maka hasil belajar yang diperoleh akan lebih baik dan pembelajaran akan lebih bermakna. Menurut Permendikbud No.57 tahun 2014 tentang kurikulum SD,disebutkan bahwa tujuan dari pembelajaran tematik adalah menghilangkan atau mengurangi terjadinya tumpah tindih materi, memudahkan peserta didik untuk melihat hubungan-hubungan yang bermakna, memudahkan peserta didik untuk memahami materi/konsep secara utuh sehingga penguasaan konsep akan semakin baik dan meningkat, sedangkan ruang lingkup pembelajaran tematik meliputi semua KD dari semua mata pelajaran kecuali agama. Pembelajaran tematik siswa membutuhkan kemampuan dalam memahami konsep-konsep materi pembelajaran antar bidang studi, baik secara lisan maupun secara tulisan, disebutkan dalam tujuan pembelajaran tematik untuk menghindari tumpang tindihnya suatu meteri pembelajaran maka diterapkannya sistem tema. Ketika proses pembelajaran berlangsung, siswa kurang mengerti tentang pembelajaran yang disampaikan oleh guru, sedangkan guru memiliki kesulitan menjelaskan subtema yang yang akan disampaikan, hal ini terlihat ketika evaluasi siswa mengalami kesulitan dalam mengerjakanya. Merujuk dari permaslahan tersebut, sebelum mengajarkan pembelajaran tematik, maka guru MI/SD perlu mempertimbagkan teori belajar mana yang cocok diterapkan pada pembelajaran tematik MI/SD. Sehingga saat pembelajara tematik berlangsung pendidik tau teori mana yang cocok diterapkan dalam ruangan tersebut, dikarenakan setiap anak ataupun peruangan pasti memiliki perbedaan dalam menangkap apa yang disampaikan oleh pendidik.
Teaching Practical Research Data Management Skills through Online Training and Data Management Plan Creation
Authors: Montague-Hellen Beth , Ranger Holly
Published: September 2019

Introduction: Research Data Management is growing in importance as a field as the amount of data which researchers must manage increases. It is important to ensure that postgraduate researchers are trained through engaging courses which practically prepare them to fulfil the data management requirements of funders and Universities, and to carry out their research in a transparent and effective manner. Description of program: We present a case study of the development and delivery of a new Research Data Management (RDM) online course for postgraduates and early career researchers. The course implements pedagogical theory and a reverse design paradigm in the development of library training provision enabling the creation of a course vastly more relevant to academic research practice than our previous offering. The course uses a simplified Data Management Plan to introduce students to Research Data Management Concepts, and by asking them to apply this knowledge, lifts the course from one which simply asks students to remember knowledge to one which shows them how to apply this knowledge in a way that is applicable to their own research. The course has been evaluated for effectiveness and student engagement at 3 months. Next steps: Although some analysis of the effectiveness of the new course has been undertaken, the course will continue to be evaluated. Although the course was developed for PGRs it has been popular with ECRs and Professional support staff and we will investigate how we can further meet the needs of these groups. The platform used will allow for the topics most often accessed to be identified and the course, and the University’s training provision will be adjusted based on this evidence. We hope that other institutions will be able to learn from our experience and implement similar courses.
The 'Mere Reminder' Effect of Salient Calorie Labeling.
Authors: Urminsky Oleg , Goswami Indranil
Published: September 2019

Calorie labeling, an increasingly common policy intervention, has had mixed effects onconsumer food choices. We show that visual salience of the calorie labels, rather than merelyinformation content or format, is the key to reducing calorie. Our findings indicate that effectivelabeling, more visually salient than standard industry disclosures, works primarily as a reminder,by prompting people to consider nutrition rather than by providing new information. Bothvisually salient information and completely non-informative “mere reminders” to considercalories have similar effects on calorie choices, by making people more likely to incorporatetheir beliefs about nutrition into their decision. As a consequence, when consumers perceivehigh-calorie items as healthy, calorie labeling working as mere reminders will be less effectiveand can even backfire, leading to more choices of healthy-seeming high-calorie food options.The findings underscore the need for experimentally testing the psychological consequences ofeven ostensibly informational interventions.
Inference not Reference: The Price Image Heuristic as an Alternative to Reference Price Theories.
Authors: Hamilton Ryan , Urminsky Oleg
Published: September 2019

Reference price theories have dominated research into how consumers evaluate prices and make price-based choices. Given the widespread acceptance of reference price theories, it is notable that so little consideration has been given to what happens when the central assumption of these theories is violated: how do consumers evaluate prices when they do not have stable, well-defined reference prices?The authors propose an alternative to reference price theories, in which consumers instead use a general cue, specifically, a retailer’s price image, or overall reputation for charging high or low prices, as atop-down inferential heuristic. This alternative account predicts a pattern of price perceptions, price estimates, and choices that cannot be accounted for using prevailing reference price theories. In each of the domains, reference price theories either predict no differences based on retailer price images or predict the opposite of the reported findings. These predictions are tested against those of prevailing reference price accounts in a series of nine empirical studies that offer converging evidence in support of the proposed theory.
High Chances and Close Margins
Authors: Urminsky Oleg , Shen Luxi
Published: September 2019

Statistical forecasts are increasingly prevalent. How do forecasts affect people’s beliefs aboutcorresponding future events? This research proposes that the format in which the forecast iscommunicated biases its interpretation. We contrast two common forecast formats: chance (e.g., theforecasted probability that a political candidate or a sports team will win) versus margin (e.g., byhow many points a political candidate or a sports team is forecasted to win). Across five studies(totalN=2,486; plus nine replications with an additional total N=2,420), we find a robust chance-margindiscrepancy: chance forecasts lead to more extreme beliefs about outcome occurrence than marginforecasts. This discrepancy persists over time in interpreting real-world forecasts (e.g., the 2016 U.S.presidential election), replicates even when the forecasts are strictly statistically equivalent, and hasdownstream consequences for attitudes toward election candidates and sports betting decisions.Lastly, we discuss the implications for mass communications and gerrymandered redistricting.
Toward behavioural climate policy: Framing of carbon pricing policy has deep effects on Canadian attitudes and behaviours

This study looked at the effects of framing and payment structure on the public reception of acarbon pricing policy. The study closely mirrored the design of the Federal backstop of the Pan-Canadian Framework, under which consumers receive a direct payment to offset the carbon taxes collected in their province. There were four key findings. First, framing the payment as an “incentive” increased the likelihood of consumers spending their return on green renovations as opposed to everyday purchases. Alternatively, calling the payment a “rebate” pushed people towards spending the money on everyday expenses.Second, if the policy was designed so that payments were disbursed monthly in smaller amounts, they were more likely to be spent on everyday purchases. Conversely, annual lump sum payments were more likely to be allocated towards savings. Third, there was an interaction effect between framing the payment as a “dividend” and the lump sum annual payment structure; in this case, consumers were much more likely to put the money towards savings. Finally, in terms of public perception of the policy, framing it as an “incentive” led to the most positive response, notably in terms of how well the policy reflects on Canada’s image and its alignment with Canadian values. These findings offer insight into how the use of different language to describe a carbon pricing policy, and the use of different payment schedules, can affect what consumers would spend their rebates on and their perception of the policy. How to frame public policy issues advantageously is an important part of political communication. These preliminary findings offer insight into how a carbon pricing policy can be framed and structured so as to promote the changes in consumer behaviour that the policy seeks to bring about.
