There are major gaps in the measurement of adoption and stringency countries’ climate actions policies, notably a manner coherent across countries, time, sectors instrument types. The policies framework (CAPMF) aims to fill this gap. It is structured harmonised mitigation policy database that informs about action. CAPMF was developed under International Programme for Action on Climate (IPAC). c...

Decarbonizing the energy system requires new technologies, whose formation and diffusion needs attraction of actors from different sectors to compose value chain. Sectoral interactions are crucial dependent on contextual technological factors, as well firm-specific characteristics. This paper examines determinants firm diversification towards a technology their role in sectoral interactions. We...

The significance of knowledge in organizations is evident. There is considerable effort in theory as well as in practice on how to foster knowledge as a resource in organizations (see for example Grant, 1996, Tsoukas, 1996). In comparison with traditional resources, knowledge, especially the tacit dimension, differs because of its immaterial characteristics (concerning the concept of tacit know...

The sectoral structure of most agricultural enterprises is unbalanced and uncoordinated, which underlies the need in deepened research of its improvement. This paper is dedicated to the formation and evaluation of the sectoral structure with the use of mathematical methods of data processing. Mathematical economic modeling based on optimization and simulation models has been applied for the for...

Social actions performed through language are the focal object of research on speech act realization (speech act research,1 for short) and conversation analysis, among other approaches to discourse that I will not consider here. Yet because of their di¤erent disciplinary origins and histories, the two approaches are interested in di¤erent aspects of social action mediated through language and, ...

This paper investigates the challenges of inter-organizational cooperation, understood here as the fulfillment of joint tasks. The focus is on challenges or constraints influencing the quality of actions, the performance and, in consequence, the outcome of efforts for the organizations involved. Findings suggest shortcomings on the organizational and the individual level and in different domain...

We outline and illustrate a formal concept for the specification and refinement of networks of interactive components. We describe systems by modular, functional specification techniques. We distinguish between black box and glass box views of interactive system components as well as refinements of their black box and glass box views. We identify and discuss several classes of refinements such ...

Climate change due to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is expected to increase the frequency and intensity of precipitation events, which is likely to affect the probability of flooding into the future. In this paper we use river flow simulations from nine global hydrology and land surface models to explore uncertainties in the potential impacts of climate change on flood hazard at global...

This study estimates an econometric model that incorporates the linkages among agriculture, manufacturing, service and trade sectors using a vector error correction model for Poland and Romania. Three cointegrating vectors for Poland and one for Romania confirm that the different sectors in the Poland and Romania moved together over the sample period, and for this reason, their growth rates are...

BACKGROUND In order to improve the health of the most vulnerable groups in society, the WHO Commission on Social Determinants of Health (CSDH) called for multi-sectoral action, which requires research and policy on the multiple and inter-linking factors shaping health outcomes. Most conceptual tools available to researchers tend to focus on singular and specific social determinants of health (S...
