title: Understanding gender differences in availability, accessibility and use of climate information among smallholder farmers in Malawi

description: Smallholder farmers in the sub-Saharan Africa are vulnerable to climate variability and change, and are thus in need of adaptation. Access to climate information, such as weather forecasts, has been identified as a potential enabler for improved adaptation, but such access tends to be strongly gendered. This study uses qualitative and quantitative data to assess the availability, accessibility and use of climate information among smallholder sugarcane farmers in southern Malawi, disaggregating data according to gender, age, education level and landholding size. We found that radio is the most common, and preferred, means of accessing forecasts for men and women, but that women farmers also prefer to access forecasts through a knowledge broker. Those farmers with higher levels of education (mostly men) prefer to also obtain forecasts via internet and cell phone. Most farmers consider the forecasts reliable, timely and understandable – more so in the case of men than women. Understanding gendered preferences and barriers to climate information access is crucial for benefits of adaptation to be accessed equitably.

title: A comparative CO<sub>2</sub> emissions analysis and mitigation strategies of short-sea shipping and road transport in the Marmara Region

description: The Marmara is the most highly trafficked region in Turkey in terms of seaway and highway transport congestion. The transport mode-based CO<sub>2</sub> emissions budget for the region needs to take more environmentally friendly measures. In this study, 13 ro-ro and ferry lines (RFLs) are evaluated in the Sea of Marmara to compare ship-generated CO<sub>2</sub> emissions with road transport as if the carried vehicles had used the highway instead of transport by RFL. Additionally, this study revealed the management strategies for CO<sub>2</sub> emissions reduction for both transport modes under current conditions. The total CO<sub>2</sub> emissions budget of 13 RFLs in the Sea of Marmara is higher than the potential CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of their carried vehicles. Using the methods of Entec UK Ltd and Trozzi and Vaccaro, the amount of CO<sub>2</sub> emissions generated by the RFLs is 204,470.99 and 170,459.85 t/year, respectively. The potential CO<sub>2</sub> emissions of road vehicles carried in 2017, 2018 and 2019 are computed by applying Tier 1 methods as 121,690.54, 106,844.89, and 100,921.95 t/year, respectively. It is observed that shifting trucks from the highway to the seaway contributes to a reduction of the yearly CO<sub>2</sub> emissions budget generated from the transport sector to provide sustainable transportation management in the region.

title: CTAB: Corpus of Tunisian Arabizi

description: This dataset has been created between 2017 and 2021 to provide a textual resource that can be used to study the behaviors of Tunisian people in writing Tunisian Arabic (ISO 693-3: aeb) in Latin Script. This corpus is constituted from messages written using Tunisian Arabic Chat Alphabet or Arabizi and is developed to solve the matter of the lack of NLP databases about the use of the Latin Script for transcribing Tunisian Arabic. The messages are automatically pulled using web scraping of Facebook public pages and are kept as they are without any annotation, spelling adjustments or morphological and syntactic labeling. Then, messages that are written in Latin Script but not in Tunisian Arabic are manually eliminated. Finally, every collection of messages that are retrieved from the same Facebook page in the same period is included in the same text file where every message is featured as one line.
description: This corpus has been developed by the Data Engineering and Semantics Research Unit (DES-Unit), University of Sfax, Tunisia. It has been developed to increase the coverage of Latin Script in the NLP resources for Tunisian. It is included as a part of the Tunisian Arabic Corpus (http://www.tunisiya.org/).

title: Understanding climate policy integration in the global South through the multiple streams framework

description: Actions needed to mitigate and adapt to climate change have often synergies and trade-offs with sectoral and sustainable development priorities, and the recent focus on SDGs and sustainable transitions highlights the need to integrate climate action into other policy spheres. This process is known as climate policy integration (CPI) or climate mainstreaming. Enhancing its understanding as a public policy making process can provide insights for its operationalization, which becomes relevant in the context of the implementation of Nationally Determined Contributions in the global South. This paper aims to enhance the understanding of the how windows of opportunity for CPI are formed by drawing on elements from the multiple streams framework (MSF) developed by John Kingdon. This paper analyses grey literature regarding two cases of climate mainstreaming initiatives implemented by international cooperation organizations. The results show that relevant elements from the MSF, such as, attachment to other high-profile national issues, timing the integration with routine institutional procedures, and the presence of policy entrepreneurs, have been catalysing factors for CPI in the context of such initiatives. However, we can only assess the value of this analytical framework for CPI by testing it systematically through case studies in a variety of contexts.

title: Social benefit cost analysis of ecosystem-based climate change adaptations: a community-level case study in Tanna Island, Vanuatu

description: Small island developing states are vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, including more intense and frequent extreme weather, warming temperatures, coastal erosion, inundation, and coral bleaching. Locally-specific natural resource threats, associated with population growth and tourism, exacerbate these systemic risks, which are particularly acute where community well-being is subsistence-based and directly reliant on ecosystem services. Garden productivity is falling as the cropping/fallow cycle intensifies and culturally and there is loss of observance of traditional resource taboos, eroding the effectiveness of customary management. Ecosystem based adaptations (EbA) provide a fruitful range of interventions and are beginning to attract development funding. We undertook a social benefit cost analysis for a suite of interconnecting EbAs for Tanna in Vanuatu. We found that funds targeted at increasing the productivity of the gardens returns significant social benefit. This also reduces pressure on natural resource threats and can potentially be adopted by all households on Tanna. In addition, increasing the community’s capacity to balance formal forest and reef conservation with customary management can provide small, but nevertheless important complimentary benefits. Our programme design included interlinking activities, including a series of demonstration garden plots, extension officers, community radio, a community ranger programme and a tree nursery.

title: Enhanced interfacial adhesion and mechanical performance of lightweight polyurethane foam reinforced with a low content of aligned magnetised short carbon fibres

description: An increase in interfacial properties between the matrix, a polyurethane cellular foam, and the reinforcement, a short carbon fibre, led to improved mechanical properties of a light-weight composite. The carbon fibre surface modification was designed with two aims: to impart magnetic properties so the discontinuous fibres could be aligned on-demand during the manufacturing process using a weak magnetic field, and to promote interfacial adhesion between the matrix and the reinforcement. After surface treatment, functionalising and coating with magnetite nanoparticles created and deposited in situ via electrodeposition prior to their deployment, the fibres were susceptible to magnetic manipulation and orientation within the reacting foam. The fibre coating contributed to interfacial compatibilization between the matrix and the reinforcement. Comparing the results between unreinforced, reinforced with untreated fibre, and reinforced with magnetised fibre, the results show that: foam reinforced with a low %vol content, i.e., from 0.1%vol to 0.4%vol, of any of the fibres improved specific strength, stiffness and toughness in tension relative to the unreinforced cellular polymeric matrix without densification, modification of cell size or compromising their lightweight properties. The magnetised fibre-containing composites showed significantly improved mechanical properties overall in tension, when compared to the untreated fibres, due to their enhanced interfacial adhesion and their alignment in the matrix. Results in compression yielded improvement only in compressive strength, with other properties being similar to the unreinforced matrices. No significant differences were observed between the magnetised (aligned fibres) and the untreated (randomly distributed) configurations in compression.

title: Carnolian Grey Honeybees dataset

description: The images containing honey bees were extracted from the video recorded in the Botanic Garden of the University of Ljubljana, where a beehive with a colony of the Carnolian Grey, the native Slovene species, is placed. We set the camera above the beehive entrance and recorded the honey bees on the shelf in front of the entrance and the honey bees entering and exiting the hive. With such a setup, we ensured a non-invasive recording of the honey bees in their natural environment. The dataset contains 65 images of size 2688 x 1504 pixels. There is a total of 1040 ground-truth bounding boxes containing Carnolian Grey honey bees.
