Applying Stone in a Western Landscape: Ranchers,Conservationists, and Causal Stories in the “American Serengeti”

As the emergence of nongovernmental conservation efforts generates conflict among various stakeholders, the causal story that each party articulates regarding conservation and the causes of land degradation reflects their unique interests. This study uses existing literature to evaluate causal stories surrounding a contemporary conservation effort: Montana's American Prairie Reserve. Through qualitative review of web‐based documents and newspaper articles, it generates a preliminary account of key stakeholders' causal stories. The case study suggests that parties who might be disadvantaged by ascribing responsibility for environmental harms in an adversarial fashion may instead elect to articulate causal stories that are more neutral than existing approaches might forecast. The study concludes by suggesting that further development of causal story literature may enable it to better address contemporary conservation efforts.     

Umschichtungen im Konzern – keine Änderung der wirtschaftlichen Einflussmöglichkeiten

Keine ?nderung der wirtschaftlichen Einflussm?glichkeiten liegt vor, wenn es zu Anteilsübertragungen oder Umgründungen zwischen konzernverbundenen Gesellschaften kommt, aber sich bei jenen Personen nichts ?ndert, die auf der obersten Ebene den Einfluss ausüben. Derartige Handlungen innerhalb eines Konzernverbunds verwirklichen nicht den Tatbestand des § 12a Abs 3 MRG.     

Wohnungsgebrauchsrecht – Verjährung

Zur Vermeidung der Verj?hrung des Wohnungsgebrauchsrechts (§ 521 ABGB) ist eine bestimmte hohe Qualit?t oder Intensit?t der Ausübung nicht erforderlich. Nur v?llige Zwecklosigkeit kann den weiteren Rechtsbestand einer pers?nlichen Dienstbarkeit vernichten. Es genügt, wenn der Berechtigte die Wohnr?ume im Rahmen seiner jeweiligen Bedürfnisse benützt. Dies ist im Rahmen einer Gesamtschau zu beurteilen. Dabei sind die von der Rsp zum Kündigungsgrund gem § 30 Abs 2 Z 6 MRG entwickelten Leitlinien nicht analog anzuwenden.     

EV gegen vereinsinterne Disziplinarmaßnahme / Vorrang des vereinsinternen Instanzenzuges

Vereinsinterne Ma?nahmen – hier der Ausschluss eines Fu?ballspielers von der Teilnahme an Pflichtspielen – k?nnen gem §§ 7 und 8 VerG erst nach Aussch?pfung des vereinsinternen Instanzenzuges oder nach Ablauf von sechs Monaten gerichtlich überprüft werden. Das schlie?t es aber nicht aus, dass bei Drohen eines unwiederbringlichen Schadens durch einstweilige Verfügung der (erst künftig einklagbare) Anspruch auf Feststellung der Unwirksamkeit oder Unterlassung gesichert werden kann. Die gerichtliche überprüfung von Vereinsbeschlüssen ist jedenfalls insoweit zul?ssig, als grundlegende Verfahrensregeln missachtet wurden oder der Beschlussinhalt gesetz- oder sittenwidrig ist.

试论中共七大的历史地位与作用

中共七大是中国革命历史上一次十分重要的会议,它的意义和影响已远远超过这次会议本身。中共七大是马克思主义中国化艰辛探索的新阶段,是中国共产党探索中国革命规律的里程碑,是新民主主义革命向社会主义革命和建设转变的分水岭。     

Policy Adoption and Policy Intensity: Emergence of Climate Adaptation Planning in U.S. States

The United States is experiencing growing impacts of climate change but currently receives a limited policy response from its national leadership. Within this policy void, many state governments are stepping up and taking action on adaptation planning. Yet we know little about why some states adopt State Adaptation Plans (SAPs), while others do not. This article investigates factors that predict the emergence of SAPs, both in terms of policy adoption and policy intensity (goal ambitiousness). Applying the diffusion of innovation theory, I consider the relative influence of internal state characteristics, regional pressures, and test for conditional effects between government ideologies and severity of the problem. The results show interesting differences between predictors that influence policy adoption and ambitiousness. States are more motivated to adopt a policy when faced with greater climate vulnerability, have more liberal citizenry, and where governments have crossed policy hurdles by previously passing mitigation plans. The intensity of policies and goal setting, moreover, is more likely to be driven by interest group politics and diffuse through policy learning or sharing information among neighboring states in Environmental Protection Agency regions. These findings support an emerging scholarship that uses more complex dependent variables in policy analysis. These variables have the potential to differentiate symbolic from substantive policies and capture finer information about predictors of importance.     

Exploring the Effects of North–South and South–South Research Collaboration in Emerging Economies,the Colombian Case

International research collaboration (IRC) is associated with both positive and negative effects on the performance of research in emerging economies. While some authors claim that North–South collaborations improve scientific quality and visibility for Southern countries, others claim that it may entail the reorientation of research to comply with Northern agendas. South–South collaborations are thought to increase the focus on local affairs, therefore leading to a relatively small number of scientific international publications appearing in “high quality” journals. Research on the impact of IRC beyond publications in international journals has been neglected despite the importance of other products in knowledge creation. This research uses a broad range of scientific outputs to empirically assess such assumptions and explore the outcomes of IRC in Colombia. Results from multivariate regressions and nonparametric analyses show that, contrary to common assumptions, Colombian research teams collaborating with partners from the global South report higher scientific production, while those collaborating with Northern countries seem to contribute to local knowledge the most.
