This paper attempts to give an overview about sufficiency in the setting of quantum statistics. The basic concepts are treated paralelly to the the measure theoretic case. It turns out that several classical examples and results have a non-commutative analogue. Some of the results are presented without proof (but with exact references) and the presentation is intended to be self-contained. The ...

Autonomy is often cited as a key aspect of energy systems. Previous academic literature on autonomy has predominantly approached it from technological perspective, and conceptualized self-sufficiency production. In addition to self-sufficiency, autonomous users communities aim create systems that treat different stakeholders equals, with balanced distribution costs benefits. This paper two aims...

Guided by a “logic of the situation” approach our research investigated problematic situation in community to identify and critically reflect on how consumer marketplaces self-sufficiency meet consumption needs. In doing so, we situational understanding allowed researchers form more complete view needs were met through enabler-led marketplaces, community-led self-sufficiency. We also re-concept...

The author estimates the effect of the Family Independence Program PIP) on the economic self-sufficiency of welfare recipients in Washington state. He finds that, as designed, enrollment in employment and training activities increased under FIP. FIP had no impact, however, on employment rates and earnings, and it actually led to increases in welfare participation and welfare benefits. According...

A Publication of the Society for Research in Child Development Article begins on page 4 Over the past 30 years, welfare and other public policies for families living in poverty have developed a primary objective of increasing parents’ self-sufficiency by requiring and supporting employment, culminating in the 1996 Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act (PRWORA). This le...

Container-based lightweight buildings offer a high ecologic and economic potential when they are designed as nearly zero-energy container (NZECBs). Thus, relevant to energy transition in achieving an almost climate-neutral building stock. This paper describes applies design strategies for suitable concepts systems be used NZECBs different climates. Therefore, applications representative climati...
