Health facility committees and facility management - exploring the nature and depth of their roles in Coast Province, Kenya. by Goodman, C, Opwora, A, Kabare, M, Molyneux, S

“…The breadth and depth of engagement had reportedly increased after the introduction of direct funding of health facilities which allowed HFCs to manage their own budgets. Although relations with facility staff were generally good, some mistrust was expressed between HFC members and health workers, and between HFC members and the broader community, partially reflecting a lack of clarity in HFC roles. …”

Ocean-wide drivers of migration strategies and their influence on population breeding performance in a declining seabird by Fayet, AL, Freeman, R, Anker-Nilssen, T, Diamond, AW, Erikstad, KE, Fifield, D, Fitzsimmons, MG, Hansen, ES, Harris, MP, Jessopp, M, Kouwenberg, A, Kress, S, Mowat, S, Perrins, CM, Petersen, A, Petersen, IK, Reiertsen, TK, Robertson, GJ, Shannon, P, Sigurðsson, IA, Shoji, A, Wanless, S, Guilford, T

“…We investigate the role of demographic, geographical, and environmental variables in driving spatial and behavioral differences on an ocean-basin scale by measuring puffins’ among-colony differences in migratory routes and day-to-day behavior (estimated with individual daily activity budgets and energy expenditure). We show that competition and local winter resource availability are important drivers of migratory movements, with birds from larger colonies or with poorer local winter conditions migrating further and visiting less-productive waters; this in turn led to differences in flight activity and energy expenditure. …”

Bibliometric analysis and landscape of actors in passive cooling research by Miranda, ND, Renaldi, R, Khosla, R, McCulloch, M

Modeling the uptake of plug-in vehicles in a heterogeneous car market using a consumer segmentation approach by Brand, C, Cluzel, C, Anable, J

“…To achieve this aim it (a) brings together a bespoke disaggregated model of the transport-energy-environment system (the UK Transport Carbon Model) with previous work by the authors on heterogeneity in the demand for and supply of plug-in vehicles and (b) applies the improved model to develop future low carbon scenarios that assess the potential impact of different investment pathways and policy approaches to the electrification of cars with the view to meeting the UK’s legally binding carbon budgets to 2050. The results show the importance of accounting for the heterogeneity in and dynamic nature of the car market in terms of new technology adoption by private consumers, so called ‘user choosers’ and fleet managers, as well as accounting for potential effects on wider life cycle emissions resulting from different uptake pathways. …”

A solution to the misrepresentations of CO2-equivalent emissions of short-lived climate pollutants under ambitious mitigation by Allen, M, Shine, K, Fuglestvedt, J, Millar, R, Cain, M, Frame, D, Macey, A

“…While cumulative carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions dominate anthropogenic warming over centuries, temperatures over the coming decades are also strongly affected by short-lived climate pollutants (SLCPs), complicating the estimation of cumulative emission budgets for ambitious mitigation goals. Using conventional Global Warming Potentials (GWPs) to convert SLCPs to “CO2-equivalent” emissions misrepresents their impact on global temperature. …”

To what extent do welfare states compensate for the cost of children? The joint impact of taxes, benefits and public goods and services by Penne, T, Hufkens, T, Goedemé, T, Storms, B

“…This article aims at contributing to existing studies by: (1) empirically assessing the needs and costs of children across welfare states by making use of cross-nationally comparable reference budgets, while taking into account publicly provided or subsidised services; (2) simulating the cash benefits and taxes that affect households with children through the tax–benefit system, by making use of the new Hypothetical Household Tool (HHoT) in EUROMOD; and (3) combining both types of information in order to compare the essential out-of-pocket costs for children between 6 and 18 years old with the simulated cash benefit packages. …”
