description: This thesis examined associations between ecological indicators of residential radon and fine particulate matter air pollution (PM2.5) and lung cancer mortality using data from the American Cancer Society Cancer Prevention Study-II (CPS-II) prospective cohort. Nearly 1.2 million CPS-II participants were recruited in 1982. Mean county-level residential radon concentrations were linked to study participants according to ZIP code information at enrollment (mean (SD) = 53.5 (38.0) Bq/m3). Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to obtain adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for lung cancer mortality associated with radon. After necessary exclusions, a total of 811,961 participants in 2,754 counties were retained for analysis. A significant positive linear trend was observed between categories of radon concentrations and lung cancer mortality (p = 0.02). A 15% (95% CI 1 - 31%) increase in the risk of lung cancer mortality was observed per each 100 Bq/m3 radon. Radon was also positively associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease mortality (HR per each 100 Bq/m3 = 1.13, 95% CI 1.05 - 1.21). No clear associations were observed between radon and non-respiratory mortality. In lifelong never smokers (n = 188,699), each 10 µg/m3 increase in mean metropolitan statistical area PM2.5 concentrations was associated with a 15-27% increase in the risk of lung cancer death which strengthened among individuals with a history of asthma or any prevalent chronic lung disease at enrollment (p for interaction < 0.05). There was no association between PM2.5 and mortality from non-malignant respiratory disease. In conclusion, this thesis observed significant positive associations between ecological indicators of residential radon and PM2.5 concentrations and lung cancer mortality. These findings further support efforts to reduce radon concentrations in homes to the lowest possible level and strengthens the evidence that ambient concentrations of PM2.5 measured in recent decades are associated with small but measurable increases in lung cancer mortality. Further research is needed to better understand possible complex inter-relationships between environmental risk factors, chronic lung disease, and lung cancer.

description: The advent of microfluidic technology presents many difficulties but also many opportunities for separation science. Leveraging the potential of micro- and nanofluidic geometries is not only a matter of shrinking systems. Miniaturization can shift the relative importance of physical phenomena leading to separation. Theoretical and computational studies into the consequences of miniaturization are vital. Mesoscopic, multi-particle collision dynamics simulations are performed on polyelectrolytes and hard, colloidal solutes. Multiple variations of this simulation algorithm are implemented to achieve versatility for simulating non-equilibrium flows and dispersed solutes. The algorithm is extended to simulate the effects of finite Debye layers on the electro-hydrodynamics of electrophoresing macromolecules and used to study the electrophoresis of charged oligomers, polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes in both free-solution and confined geometries. Multi-particle collision dynamics simulations of hydrodynamic chromatography and field-flow fractionation are also performed to test the predictions of the derived unified, ideal retention theory. This unified, ideal retention predicts the transitions between multiple operational modes, including Faxén-mode FFF. Simulations and the theory show that increases in drag due to hydrodynamic interactions with microfluidic channel walls perturb the retention curves from the ideal predictions at large particle sizes. Further complications to field-flow fractionation including undesirable forces perpendicular to the flow direction, slip at channel walls and rectangular channel geometries are investigated. These theoretical studies lead to the proposal of several novel fractionation techniques, namely adverse-mode FFF, slip-mode FFF and polymer/depletant HC.
Navigating the Shadows: A Scoping review investigating the resources available for Black women navigating perinatal bereavement
Creators: name: Akinyemi Christiana
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2024

description: Introduction: This scoping review examines support resources for Black women facing perinatal loss, which encompasses miscarriage, stillbirth, neonatal death, and pregnancy terminations due to severe diagnoses. It emphasizes the heightened emotional and psychological toll on Black women, who disproportionately suffer from these losses and the mental health repercussions. The objective is to identify and analyze interventions, such as counseling and community support, aimed at meeting the specific needs of bereaved Black mothers to enhance culturally sensitive support methods. 
Methods: Employing a thorough search across databases like CINAHL Plus with Full Text, PubMed, Google Scholar, and Google, this review spans studies from 2017 to 2024 on perinatal loss and support for Black women. It uses a thematic analysis to map out research, highlighting existing evidence and identifying literature gaps, with aims to inform future research and policy recommendations without conducting a formal quality appraisal. 
Results: From 250 initial articles, 17 were selected, focusing on support interventions for Black women after perinatal loss. The review identifies various support options, including counseling and doula services, but notes a significant lack of culturally tailored support for Black women. It calls for further investigation into culturally appropriate care models and interventions. 
Conclusion: This review highlights the urgent need for culturally sensitive support for Black women experiencing perinatal loss, underscoring the gaps in care and the importance of developing targeted interventions. The review advocates for more research on specific support strategies, highlighting the role of community-based care and the importance of specialized training for healthcare providers. It urges collaborative efforts to establish equitable and effective support systems that resonate with the experiences of Black women and their families during perinatal bereavement.

description: Many elderly patients visiting the emergency department for minor injuries are not assessed for functional status and experience functional decline 6 months post injury. Identifying such high-risk patients can allow for interventions to prevent or minimize adverse health outcomes including loss of independence. For the purpose of a planned clinical decision rule to identify elderly patients at high risk of functional decline a survey of physicians was conducted. A random sample of 534 Canadian geriatricians, emergency and family physicians was selected with half randomly selected to receive an incentive. A response rate of 57.0% was obtained with 90% of physicians considering a drop in function of at least 2 points on the 28-point OARS ADL scale as clinically significant. A sensitivity of 90% would meet or exceed 90% of physicians' requirements for a clinical decision rule to identify injured seniors at high risk of functional decline 6 months post injury.

description: This study examined the relationship between business students' Australian citizenship status, English language instruction at Primary and Secondary education levels, Gender, and the perception of the importance of elements in Ramsden's CEQ model of effective tertiary teaching. A sample of 364 higher education business students was obtained from Victoria University, Australia. Though many students saw Ramsden's (1991) Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) elements: Good Teaching, Goals, Generic Teaching Skills and Appropriate Workload and Assessment as 'extremely/very important', there was also variation between students. This variation was explained by Gender, English language instruction at Secondary level education and Australian citizenship status.

Human Rhinovirus

description: Human Rhinoviruses (HRVs) utilize Internal Ribosome Entry Sites (IRES) to drive viral protein synthesis. IRESs are specialized RNA elements present within the 5’ UTR of mRNAs that recruit ribosomes independently of the 5’ m7G cap structure. hnRNP A1 (heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1), a multifunctional RNA binding protein, is required for the IRES-dependent translation of many specific RNAs within the cell cytoplasm. The phosphorylation of hnRNP A1 is required for its cytoplasmic accumulation. I have identified and validated the role of HK2 in hnRNP A1 cellular localization by immunofluorescence microscopy, by analysis of HRV infection and by siRNA-based screening. These studies show that decreased HK2 protein levels lead to decreased cytoplasmic accumulation of hnRNPA1 during osmotic shock and HRV infection, to a decrease in HRV-infected cells and to decreased caspase activation in osmotically stressed and HRV-infected cells. Thus, HK2 may regulate hnRNP A1 cytoplasmic localization following HRV infection.

description: Background: A lack of culturally and linguistically appropriate smoking cessation intervention programs exist among Chinese-Canadian communities. Smoking cessation programs that are provided in Canadian mainstream culture and language have shown limited effectiveness in altering smoking behaviours of smokers from these communities. Our study aimed to explore and compare smoking patterns, knowledge, beliefs, and risk perceptions of adult current smokers between Chinese- and English-speaking Canadians participating in a culturally and linguistically tailored smoking cessation program. Methods and Design: A qualitative study embedded in an effectiveness study using an 8-month quasi-experimental design, was conducted to compare the effects of four one-on-one culturally and linguistically sensitive consultation sessions (intervention group) and three telephone follow-up assessments (control group). All participants were provided take-home educational materials (designed exclusively for this study), and completed study questionnaires at baseline and 6-month post-intervention. An 8-month post-intervention phone assessment was conducted with all participants to assess cessation progress and maintenance. Participants: 70 Chinese- and English-speaking adult (aged 19-80) current smokers (≥ 5 cigarettes per day) residing in the Greater Vancouver Area, Canada, were recruited between May 2018 and April 2019. Data analysis: Thematic analysis was conducted on self-reported qualitative information from study questionnaires and verbatim transcripts of in-person consultations and telephone follow-ups. Cultural- and demographic-related themes were considered. Results: Perceptions of smoking patterns, smoking status, triggers, and barriers to smoking cessation were identified. Important elements of smoking cessation program, including facilitator characteristics, duration, procedures, cultural factors, and topics were also identified. Differences in perceptions of smoking were observed between gender and language groups. Stress was a major trigger for smoking in both language groups. An individual’s social network was reported as the largest barrier to successful cessation for Chinese-speaking participants. Conclusions Our study provides knowledge and information to further examine the role of risk perception (realization of the possible harms of smoking) in smoking cessation to facilitate the development of future interventions that could more effectively promote smoking cessation among new immigrants and within ethnocultural communities. We found that our program was generally accepted by smokers in both language groups and the participants reported that they were able to apply the strategies learned in the intervention during their quit smoking plan.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Up-regulates MMP-9 Expression Via MAPK-AP-1 Signaling Pathway in Rat Astrocytes

description: Ischemic stroke is characterized by a disruption of blood supply to a part of the brain tissue, which leads to a focal ischemic infarct. The expression and activity of MMP-9 is increased in ischemic stroke and is considered to be one of the main factors responsible for damages to the cerebral vasculature, resulting in compromised blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity. However, the regulatory mechanisms of MMP-9 expression and activity are not well established in ischemic stroke. Since hypoxia/ischemia and reperfusion generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), I hypothesize that ROS is one of factors involved in up-regulation of MMP-9 expression in brain cells and ROS-mediated effect may occur via MAPK signaling pathway. My study has provided the evidence that ROS is responsible for an increase in MMP-9 expression in astrocytes mediated via MAPK-AP1 signaling pathway. Preliminary studies with an in vitro model of the BBB suggest that inhibition of MMP-9 is a critical component of reducing ROS-induced BBB permeability.

Stress driven changes in the kinetics of bilayer embedded proteins: a membrane spandex and a voltage-gated sodium channel

description: Bilayer embedded proteins are affected by stress. This general affirmation is, in this thesis, embodied by two types of proteins: membrane spandex and voltage-gated sodium channels. In this work, we essentially explore, using methods from physics, the theoretical consequences of ideas drawn from experimental biology. Membrane spandex was postulated to exist and we study the theoretical implications and possible benefits for a cell to have such proteins embedded in its bilayer. There are no specific membrane spandex proteins, rather any protein with a transition involving a large enough area change between two non-conducting states could act as spandex. Bacterial cells have osmovalve channels which open at near-lytic tensions to protect themselves against rupture. Spandex expanding at tensions just below the osmovalves’ opening tension could relieve tension enough as to avoid costly accidental osmovalve opening due to transient bilayer tension excursions. Another possible role for spandex is a tension-damper: spandex could be used to maintain bilayer tension at a fixed level. This would be useful as many bilayer embedded channels are known to be modulated by tension. The Stress/shear experienced in traumatic brain injury cause an immediate (< 2 min) and irreversible TTX-sensitive rise in axonal calcium. In situ, this underlies an untreatable condition, diffuse axonal injury. TTX sensitivity indicates that leaky voltage-gated sodium (Nav) channels mediate the calcium increase. Wang et al. showed that the mammalian adult CNS Nav isoform, Nav1.6, expressed in Xenopus oocytes becomes “leaky” when subjected to bleb-inducing pipette aspiration. This “leaky” condition is caused by a hyperpolarized-shift (left-shift or towards lower potentials, typically 20 mV) of the kinetically coupled processes of activation and inactivation thus effectively degrading a well-confined window conductance into a TTX-sensitive Na leak. We propose experimental protocols to determine whether this left-shift is the result of an all-or-none or graded process and whether persistent Na currents are also left-shifted by trauma. We also use modeling to assess whether left-shifted Nav channel kinetics could lead to Na+ (and hence Ca2+ ) loading of axons and to study saltatory propagation after traumatizing a single node of Ranvier.

description: In this study, the utilization of palliative care services, acute care services, and location of death for clients who were palliative and receiving services from Champlain Community Care Access Centre (CCAC) in Ontario during their last month of life were investigated. An adaptation of Andersen?s Behavioral Model of Health Services Utilization provided context and structure to this study. This is an historical, quantitative descriptive study using chart audits for data collection. The data on CCAC clients who were palliative and who died during the month of July 2009 were tracked during their last month of life. Collection of socio-demographic data, services provided through CCAC, emergency department visits, hospital admissions, and location of death provided the data for this study. The clients who died at home used more CCAC services than those who died at other locations and frequently community palliative care physicians provided their medical care. The findings of this study included: 1) The majority of the clients, who expressed a preference, died in their preferred location. 2) The role of community palliative care physicians was an important component of the services that supported the clients to die in their location of choice. 3) Over 25% of the study sample died in a hospital and the clients used a large number of in-patient hospital days with one quarter of the hospital deaths taking place in an emergency department or an intensive care unit. 4) During the last month of life, 25% of the clients received chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. 5) The clients who died at home used more CCAC services than those who died in other locations and who used institutional resources. The implications for practice, policy, research, and education are discussed.

description: Cette thèse suggère que l’avènement d’un discours proprement européen au milieu du XXe siècle a pour corollaire la genèse d’un espace dénationalisé : la communauté politique européenne. L’Union européenne est donc envisagée comme la performance et le produit de l’européanité. Définie comme « les Européens en train de parler Europe », l’européanité est l’acte de langage (Austin, 1970) qui associe le « nous » au territoire communautaire, suscitant ainsi les conditions de possibilité de son existence. Cas tout à fait particulier dans le monde interétatique contemporain, cet espace, fondé de manière intersubjective par les Européens en train de discuter collectivement des modalités du vivre ensemble, n’est pas délimité par la ligne de partage des souverainetés (Raffestin, 1986). À l’image d’une communauté européenne jamais stabilisée et existant toujours dans un devenir politique (Deleuze, 1975), le territoire européen est en constante expansion, systématiquement plus étendu dans le discours que dans ses frontières administratives temporaires. Depuis la Déclaration Schuman (1950) proclamant la communauté « ouverte à la participation des autres pays d’Europe » jusqu’aux négociations d’adhésion en cours avec les États de l’ex-Yougoslavie, l’européanité déborde littéralement des frontières étatiques. Ce surplus (Derrida 1979) est périodiquement cristallisé, mais jamais endigué, par l’élargissement. L’analyse synchronique du discours (Saussure, 1972) montre que plus l’européanité est partagée, plus elle crée de sens et plus elle s’étend de manière à la fois verticale (approfondissement) et horizontale (élargissement). Cet excédent permet la récursivité de l’élargissement pacifique des frontières de l’européanité, causant une rupture dans le cycle de la nécessité de répondre à la violence par la violence, caractéristique du fondement de l’État (Benjamin, 2012). La construction européenne est fondée dans la performance politique de la communauté européenne. L’ordre européen qui en découle repose sur la construction du premier « nous » politique moderne débarrassé de sa contrainte étatique. Cette recherche se veut une contribution à la réflexion sur l’élaboration d’une théorie fondamentale de l’UE. Grâce à l’étude approfondie des élargissements de l’espace politique européen entre 1972 et 2012, c’est un cadre pour l’étude de la nature de la construction européenne qui est développé à travers la démonstration que l’analyse du discours n’est pas un simple outil méthodologique, mais qu’elle constitue une véritable théorie de la construction du politique, et, partant, de l’intégration européenne.

description: Excavation of this large waterfront site showed that it had been continuously occupied for nearly 1000 years, for commercial, industrial, and domestic purposes. The remains of riverside structures, buildings and tenement boundaries dating to the 11th and 12th centuries, characterised the waterfront at the height of its commercial importance. Imported pottery indicated trade mainly with the Low Countries and Germany and to a lesser extent with France and Scandinavia. About 1170 a stone warehouse was constructed, possibly by the Cathedral Priory. The undercroft survived to a height of about 2m, with windows, doorways, buttresses and a latrine turret. Very few stone buildings of this date remain in Norwich, and the importance of this example led to its preservation below the new Magistrates' Court. Particularly rich environmental material from waterlogged Saxo-Norman deposits allowed reconstruction of the local environment and the effect of human activity upon it. Much information for later medieval and post-medieval use of the site was gleaned from documentary sources and archaeological evidence, allowing full discussion of topography, tenement history, building analysis, economic and social development.

description: This dissertation analyses the use of the word “religion” in Canadian law and theorises the consequences of its use for the legal protection of religious movements in Canada. Chapter One establishes the problems of the word “religion” in academic discourse by providing an overview of work in the field of critical religion. This dissertation considers whether the critiques of the term “religion” by scholars working within critical religion are equally relevant when considering the role of religion in human rights law. Chapter Two turns an investigative eye toward Canadian case law using the word “religion”, from Chaput v Romain (1959) to Alberta v Hutterian Brethren of Wilson Colony (2009). The analysis highlights how the use of “religion” in Canadian law does indeed reflect academic concerns. Chapter Three uses queer theory to speculate the consequences of an unstable concept of religion for the protection of religious freedom, especially as it pertains to new religious movements. Judith Butler’s notions of performativity and drag are applied to theorise the performance of “religion” and its outcomes. Some suggestions for how to proceed conclude the dissertation.

description: This thesis is written as a requirement of the “Mechanical Engineering” Bachelor program at Vietnamese-German University. It reports the content of my working progress at the Ruhr University Bochum and the Fraunhofer UMSICHT during the last exchange semester of the program in Germany. A lot of research has been carried out to investigate the sol-gel processing of hydrogel, but most of them are conducted in ambient condition. Thus, the studies about the transition under pressurized carbon dioxide are not broadly accessible. Moreover, the effect of different factors such as temperature, pH value of the solution, and type of catalyst, etc on gelation time under mentioned environment is not widely available. This thesis provides a possible method for the investigation of the gelation time in the sol-gel processing under high temperature and pressure CO2 environment. The acoustic levitation technology can support the study; nonetheless, the investigation is unachievable with the current setup of the levitator at Ruhr University Bochum because of the gelation. To perform the determination of gelation point, a guideline is created to modify and improve the levitator. Then, this thesis creates a list of requirements and classifies the requirements according to the guideline. After that, possible solutions are generated with their disadvantages and advantages. Finally, the most optimal solution is chosen based on their pros and cons with explanation.

description: Excavations on the outskirts of Chelmsford focussed on a circular enclosure 60m in diameter seen as a cropmark on aerial photographs. Before excavation it was considered likely to be a henge monument or possibly a Late Bronze Age enclosure like that recently identified at Mucking in south Essex. A Late Bronze Age date was quickly established; the enclosure was fully excavated, and the site has given its name to the English Heritage single monument class description 'Springfield Type Enclosure' a settlement type characteristic, particularly in eastern England, of the Late Bronze Age and earliest Iron Age. Finds included clay moulds for casting Ewart Park type swords.

description: Transgender women are disproportionately affected by human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), but little data are available regarding HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) pharmacology in this population. Transgender women are unique due to their combination of rectal HIV infection site and high estradiol concentrations. To explore optimal dosing strategies for PrEP in transgender women, we determined the impact of feminizing hormone therapy on the intracellular concentrations of endogenous nucleotides and PrEP’s active metabolites in isolated rectal and blood cells. We also investigated estradiol’s impact on cisgender women’s intracellular metabolite concentrations to further contextualize our comparisons between the relatively high estradiol environment due to feminizing hormone therapy and the low estradiol in transgender women not taking feminizing hormone therapy.

description: La présente thèse s’intéresse aux problèmes conceptuels entourant l’utilisation accrue de compagnies militaires/de sécurité privées par les gouvernements. Plus précisément nous nous sommes interrogés quant à la présence des diverses permutations du libéralisme au sein de quatre textes législatifs émis entre 1870 et aujourd’hui, par les gouvernements américain et britannique, l’Organisation des Nations Unies ainsi que l’Organisation de l’Unité Africaine. En plus d’avoir recours aux principes que sont la gouvernance, la souveraineté ainsi que le libéralisme, nous avons utilisé l’analyse par questionnement analytique afin de répondre à nos questions d’analyse. Cette analyse nous a, entre autres, permis de constater que les principes identifiés précédemment sont perçus différemment selon que nous avons affaire à un texte législatif ou à une convention. Bref, nous avons été en mesure de confirmer notre hypothèse de départ, à savoir que les textes étudiés refléteraient les diverses formes de libéralisme, mais également les tensions au sein de ce dernier.

description: Spatial correlations in a ultracold gas of fermions atoms close to Feshbach resonance were detected. By inducing spin-changing radiofrequency transitions between pairs of atoms the correlation were detected. The process was observed in the strongly interaction regime for attractive as well as for repulsive atom-atom interactions and both in the regime of high and low quantum degeneracy. The results shows that a Feshbach resonance increases the strength of atom-atom interactions and introduces strong pair correlations between atoms for both positive and negative magnetic-fields from the resonance.

description: Die Informationslandschaft – und damit die Wissenschaftswelt sowie die Art, Forschung zu betreiben – haben sich in den letzten 20 Jahren stark verändert. Diese Arbeit untersucht, ob und wenn ja wie sich dieser Wandel auf das Berufsbild der Spezialbibliothekar:innen ausgewirkt hat und künftig auswirken wird. In diesem Kontext wird auch die Rolle von Quereinsteigenden betrachtet. Zur Beantwortung der Fragen wurde im August 2023 eine Online-Umfrage unter den Fachinformationsmanager:innen der Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft durchgeführt, in welcher die verschiedenen Dimensionen des Konzepts „Berufsbild“ beleuchtet wurden („Aus-/Weiterbildung und berufliche Chancen“, „Tätigkeiten“ und „Kompetenzen“). Die Operationalisierung erfolgte anhand des Kompetenzmodells „Professional Knowledge and Skills Base“ (PKSB) des britischen Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP). Hierfür wurden den 13 Kompetenzfeldern Tätigkeiten zugeordnet, welche in den Fraunhofer-Bibliotheken typischerweise anfallen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass (1) Quereinsteigende im Fachinformationsmanagement (noch) in der Minderheit sind und (2) die Spezialbibliothekar:innen bei Fraunhofer grundsätzlich gut aufgestellt sind, um künftige Herausforderungen zu meistern.
description: The information landscape -- and with it the world of science and the way research is conducted -- has changed drastically over the last 20 years. This paper examines whether (and, if so, how) this change has affected and will affect the job profile of special librarians in the future. In this context, the role of lateral entrants is also considered. To answer these questions, an online survey was conducted in August 2023 among the LIS staff of the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft, in which the various dimensions of the concept of "job profile" were examined ("education/training and career opportunities", "professional activities" and "competencies"). The operationalization was based on the "Professional Knowledge and Skills Base" (PKSB) competence model of the British Chartered Institute of Library and Information Professionals (CILIP). For this purpose, activities that typically occur in Fraunhofer libraries were assigned to the 13 competence fields. The results show that (1) lateral entrants are (still) in the minority in LIS-related functions and (2) librarians at Fraunhofer special libraries are generally well positioned to master future challenges.

Legal Systems on Trial: Revealing Inequities in North Carolina’s Death Penalty System from 1976-2018
Creators: name: Thrower, Kristen

description: This study critically examines the factors influencing death sentencing practices in North Carolina, assessing whether homicide severity, as indicated by aggravating factors, predominantly determines a death sentence. Additionally, it evaluates the extent to which arbitrary and legally irrelevant factors contribute to the likelihood of death sentences. The findings reveal significant disparities in death sentencing based on race and gender classifications of victims. Even when controlling for aggravators, black offenders are consistently subjected to harsher penalties when their victims are white, and especially in cases involving black male offenders, and white female victims. Conversely, cases involving white offenders and black victims did not exhibit statistical significance across any model, indicating a concerning pattern of racial disparity in the use of the death penalty in North Carolina.

description: This thesis applies a novel method of change detection, the Landsat Image Stack Trend Analysis method to the monitoring of retrogressive thaw slumps in the Richardson Mountains, NWT. This method represents a significant improvement upon previous methods of thaw slump monitoring, which utilized air photos and high-resolution satellite imagery. This method applies Tasseled Cap brightness, wetness and greenness indices to Landsat TM/ETM images acquired between 1985 and 2011 and analyzes the temporal change of each pixel for the different indices values. This method is useful in retrogressive thaw slump monitoring in two ways. First, by creating a map showing the linear change over time from 1985 to 2011, retrogressive thaw slumps can be easily identified, as they are more dynamic than the surrounding tundra. In total, 251 thaw slumps were identified within an area of roughly 18 000km2. Second, thaw slump activity, from initiation, growth and stabilization can be studied by plotting the annual vegetation index pixel values of adjacent pixels in a thaw slump. This method allows for the efficient extraction of annual thaw slump headwall retreat rates, provided the availability of cloud-free imagery. The retreat rates of 16 slumps were extracted, which were found to have an average annual retreat rate of 11.8 m yr-1.

Subjects: Kommentar [Rechtskommentar]

description: Der Kommentar erläutert das Treibhausgas-Emissionshandelsgesetz (TEHG) und die Zuteilungsverordnung 2020 (ZuV 2020) und behandelt damit die relevanten Rechtsakte zur Umsetzung des Emissionshandels in Deutschland. Die Autoren gehen umfassend auf die in der Praxis relevantesten Fragen, wie den Anwendungsbereich, die Zuteilungsregeln sowie die Überwachung und Berichterstattung, ein. Vor allem in Bezug auf die EU-weit einheitlichen Zuteilungsregeln und die nationale Umsetzung durch die ZuV 2020 erschweren die komplexen Rechtsquellen und die zahlreichen erläuternden Dokumente die Aufbereitung der Thematik. Die Autoren geben einen umfassenden Überblick über die Umsetzung der einheitlichen Zuteilungsregeln in Deutschland und stellen deren Regelungszusammenhang systematisch dar. Neben Literaturquellen haben sie an zahlreichen Stellen auf die Auslegungshilfen der Europäischen Kommission, die Guidance Documents, zurückgegriffen. Diese Leitlinien konnten jedoch aufgrund mangelnder Rechtsverbindlichkeit lediglich als Anhaltspunkt zur Ermittlung des beabsichtigten Regelungszwecks herangezogen werden. Der Kommentar gibt den aktuellen Stand der Diskussion zur Mitte der dritten Handelsperiode wieder. Grundlegende Fragestellungen, die bereits höchstrichterlich entschieden sind, sowie aktuelle Entscheidungen des Europäischen Gerichtshofs (EuGH) sind bis einschließlich September 2016 berücksichtigt. Einige Detailfragen, insbesondere in Bezug auf die Zuteilungsregeln, sind weiterhin Gegenstand von Rechtsstreitigkeiten. Quelle: Verlagsinformation
