Franke et al.: Supplementary Material 1 S1 Possible impacts on human societies As mentioned in Sec. 5.3 of the main paper, it can be expected that at longer time scales, the alternation between different phases of the NAO has had a considerable impact on human societies via modifications of temperature and precipitation patterns and their resulting consequences for natural and agricultural ecosystems (Hurrell et al., 2003; Hurrell and Deser, 2010, and references therein). In the following, we discuss possible implications of our qualitative reconstruction of the NAO phase 5 in the context of European history during the Common Era. Since the climatic influence of the NAO differs among different parts of Europe, we restrict this discussion to two key regions, the Western Roman Empire and Norse colonies in the North Atlantic. Prior to presenting some further thoughts on corresponding relationships, we emphasize that one has to keep in mind, that climatic conditions have almost never been the sole reason for societal changes. However, they can be either beneficial or disadvantageous, also depending on how vulnerable a society is to environmental disruptions (Diaz and Trouet, 2014; Weiss 10 and Bradley, 2001; Diamond, 2005).

  • Constraints on the Timescale of Animal Evolutionary History
    Palaeontologia Electronica palaeo-electronica.org Constraints on the timescale of animal evolutionary history Michael J. Benton, Philip C.J. Donoghue, Robert J. Asher, Matt Friedman, Thomas J. Near, and Jakob Vinther ABSTRACT Dating the tree of life is a core endeavor in evolutionary biology. Rates of evolution are fundamental to nearly every evolutionary model and process. Rates need dates. There is much debate on the most appropriate and reasonable ways in which to date the tree of life, and recent work has highlighted some confusions and complexities that can be avoided. Whether phylogenetic trees are dated after they have been estab- lished, or as part of the process of tree finding, practitioners need to know which cali- brations to use. We emphasize the importance of identifying crown (not stem) fossils, levels of confidence in their attribution to the crown, current chronostratigraphic preci- sion, the primacy of the host geological formation and asymmetric confidence intervals. Here we present calibrations for 88 key nodes across the phylogeny of animals, rang- ing from the root of Metazoa to the last common ancestor of Homo sapiens. Close attention to detail is constantly required: for example, the classic bird-mammal date (base of crown Amniota) has often been given as 310-315 Ma; the 2014 international time scale indicates a minimum age of 318 Ma.

    Journal of Language Contact 6 (2013) 134–159 brill.com/jlc Ukrainian in the Language Map of Central Europe: Questions of Areal-Typological Profiling Andrii Danylenko Department of Modern Languages and Cultures Pace University, New York [email protected] Abstract The paper deals with the areal-typological profiling of Ukrainian among languages of Europe, constituting Standard Average European (SAE) and especially Central European (CE). Placed recently in the context of the ‘areal typology’ and the ‘dynamic taxonomy’, Ukrainian together with Russian and Belarusian appear to be mere replica languages. Such languages are capable of only borrowing surface structures migrating all over the Europe unie or imitating deep structures on the model of SAE or CE. In order to elaborate on an alternative profiling of Ukrainian among languages of (Central) Europe, the author concentrates on both phonological and morphosyntactic features treated commonly as CE Sprachbund-forming (the spirantization of *g, the dispalatalization of the pala- talized consonants, the existence of medial l, the umlauting, the three-tense system, including a simple preterit from the perfect, and the periphrastic ‘ingressive’ future). As a result, the author advances another vector of areal classification, thus positioning Russian in the core of ‘Standard Average Indo-European’ and (Southwest) Ukrainian as an intermediate language between Russian and the rest of (Central) European languages. Keywords Ukrainian; North Slavic; Central European Sprachbund; ‘Standard Average Indo-European’; areal-typological profiling 1. Introduction In comparative and typological studies, Ukrainian has been routinely treated as a transitional language from East Slavic (cf. Jakobson, 1929; Stadnik, 2001:94) to North Slavic (Mrázek, 1990:28-30; Besters-Dilger, 2000), West Slavic (Lehfeldt, 1972:333-336) or even South Slavic (Smal-Stockyj and Gartner, 1913).

This paper, Corporate taxation in the global offshore industry, takes a detailed look at how relevant vessels are handled. It is a supplement to our longer report, “Choosing your course - Corporate taxation of the shipping industry around the globe” , which focuses more broadly on how the shipping industry is taxed. Both papers focus on the countries around the world that are most important for the 1 shipping industry. In this paper, we focus specifically on The offshore industry is a good shipping companies that are part of example. Traditional fossil energy the value chain within the offshore extraction, green energy and offshore industry (wind farms, oil rigs etc.). construction have all made significant While offshore activities may be more advances to keep pace with growing commonly seen as part of the energy demand. That’s led to an increased businesses, the shipping industry demand for specialised offshore vessels actually performs a number of critical and for the development of offshore services using highly specialised vessels.

  • Newsletter OCTOBER 2015 TRADE FINANCE
    Newsletter OCTOBER 2015 TRADE FINANCE Dear customer, Autumn started with a mixed economic outlook and continued geopolitical uncertainty, and a careful analysis of risk and opportunity is necessary as our customers continue their current business flows and approach new business opportunities. An element of agility and adaptability is needed, while CSR and global citizenship must be taken into consideration. This newsletter will touch on some of these topics. SØREN HAUGAARD In our last newsletter, I wrote about the opportunities that new markets offer, Global Head of Trade & Supply Chain Finance focusing on the ASEAN region. In this newsletter, we will zoom in on Africa. As Allan von Mehren, Chief Analyst, points out, there are now 17 countries on the continent with high and sustained growth rates. The population is expected to grow fast and the middle class even faster. This creates opportunities but also carries risk, as business cultures are very different, the infrastructure is still fragile and corruption is widespread. All statistics show that the Nordic business climate has a reputation for being fair and transparent and for adhering to acknowledged CSR principles. The same cannot be said for most emerging markets. Financial crime is a threat to business, and being alert and diligent has become a key point of business governance. Jes Vinther Jørgensen, Head of Financial Crime, explains what this is all about, what to look out for and how to manage the risks associated with financial crime. He also explains how Danske Bank helps our customers avoid being trapped in fraudulent trade patterns. With emerging economies coming of age, new opportunities appear within the current trade corridors and the established markets.
