  • Challenger Party List
    Appendix List of Challenger Parties Operationalization of Challenger Parties A party is considered a challenger party if in any given year it has not been a member of a central government after 1930. A party is considered a dominant party if in any given year it has been part of a central government after 1930. Only parties with ministers in cabinet are considered to be members of a central government. A party ceases to be a challenger party once it enters central government (in the election immediately preceding entry into office, it is classified as a challenger party). Participation in a national war/crisis cabinets and national unity governments (e.g., Communists in France’s provisional government) does not in itself qualify a party as a dominant party. A dominant party will continue to be considered a dominant party after merging with a challenger party, but a party will be considered a challenger party if it splits from a dominant party. Using this definition, the following parties were challenger parties in Western Europe in the period under investigation (1950–2017). The parties that became dominant parties during the period are indicated with an asterisk.

Stewart Street, Suite 5003, Carson City, NV 89701 Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, 901 South Stewart St, Suite 4001, Carson City, NV 89701 THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK ABSTRACT A demonstration project utilizing cultured periphyton to treat stormwater runoff was constructed, operated, and monitored for approximately nine months (mid-February to early November) in 2008, located adjacent to a set of existing stormwater ponds in Incline Village, Nevada. The main goal of this project was to demonstrate the applicability and effectiveness of periphyton-based cultured ecologies as a biologically-based advanced treatment system to reduce fine sediment particles and nutrient loads entering Lake Tahoe. A pilot study in 2006 had provided encouraging results, so the demonstration project was designed as a second generation approach to test the cultured periphyton treatment methods in a real-world setting. A three-tank system was constructed and seeded with locally occurring periphyton species. Once established, periphyton growth was harvested approximately every two to four weeks. Samples for water chemistry analysis were collected approximately every two weeks, once before harvesting of the periphyton, and once midway between harvests.

OMANE KOFI WILSON …………………… …………………… Student Signature Date Certified by: Dr. EMMANUEL ADINYIRA …………………… …………………… Supervisor Signature Date Certified by: Dr. B.K BAIDEN …………………… …………………… Head Of Department Signature Date ii ABSTRACT Sustainable construction is very important so far as the world’s population continues to grow. Population growth comes along with increase in construction works and its impact on energy consumption, waste production and water consumption. Sustainable construction will create an avenue that will encourage public works procurement officials to use construction methods to increase economic growth as well as reduce the impact of construction on the environment. This will bring attendant benefits such as employment creation and a much healthy environment. This research applied the use of self- administered questionnaires to assess the level of knowledge of sustainable construction among works procurement practitioners, to identify some challenges in sustainable construction and recommend measures for improving on sustainable construction in Ghana.

Twisleton and D. A. Timm Department of Computer Science, University College London, London, United Kingdom *Corresponding author. Email: [email protected] Received: 03 December 2019; Revised: 19 June 2020; Accepted: 27 June 2020 Keywords: rejuvenate and (re)integrate the natural and built environments; rematerialising the information society; resource- constrained computing, computation, and communication; responsible research and innovation; zero waste institution; environmental accounting; waste reduction; data centre management; IT infrastructure lifecycle; environmental policy Abstract Internet and Communication Technology/electrical and electronic equipment (ICT/EEE) form the bedrock of today’s knowledge economy. This increasingly interconnected web of products, processes, services, and infrastructure is often invisible to the user, as are the resource costs behind them. This ecosystem of machine-to-machine and cyber- physical-system technologies has a myriad of (in)direct impacts on the lithosphere, biosphere, atmosphere, and hydrosphere. As key determinants of tomorrow’s digital world, academic institutions are critical sites for exploring ways to mitigate and/or eliminate negative impacts. This Report is a self-deliberation provoked by the question How do we create more resilient and healthier computer science departments: living laboratories for teaching and learning about resource-constrained computing, computation, and communication? Our response for University College London (UCL) Computer Science is to reflect on how, when, and where resources—energy, (raw) materials including water, space, and time—are consumed by the building (place), its occupants (people), and their activities (pedagogy).

The social and ideological profiles of all the major parties are analysed chapter by chapter, highlighting their principal functions and dynamics within the system. This examination is THE complemented by analyses of bloc and system features, including the pluralist left, Europe, and the ideological space in which the parties operate. In particular, the book addresses the impressive FRENCH capacity of French parties and their leaders to adapt themselves to the changing concerns of their electorates and to a shifting PARTY institutional context. Contrary to the apparently fragmentary system and increasingly hostile clashes between political personalities, the continuities in the French political system seem SYSTEM destined to persist.

DAILY and KATHERINE ELLISON illustration by Philippe Weisbecker WHEN THREE-YEAR-OLD Becky Furmann got the “poopies” and became dehydrated, her doctor urged her to drink water. He didn’t know that water had caused the rare illness that would kill her. As the chubby blond child grew thin and pale, her sufferings were finally confirmed as the ravages of Cryptosporidium parvum, a parasite almost unheard of until April 1993, when it slipped through one of the two modern filtration plants in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and entered the city’s water supply. Becky had been born with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), which weakened her immune system, yet she had seemed otherwise healthy until then. Cryptosporidiosis sealed her fate. https://orionmagazine.org/article/the-new-economy-of-nature/ 1/8 8/31/2017 Orion Magazine | The New Economy of Nature In all, Milwaukee’s cryptosporidiosis epidemic led to more than one hundred deaths and four hundred thousand illnesses. The victims had been betrayed by their water – and by their faith in the technology keeping it safe. What’s more, they had plenty of company throughout the world. At the end of the twentieth century, more than three million people were dying every year of diseases spread by water, and another one billion were at risk, lacking access to water suitable to drink.

The list includes the party’s or alliance’s name in the original language and in English, the party/alliance abbreviation as well as the corresponding party identification number. In case of an alliance, it also documents the member parties. Within the list of alliance members, parties are represented only by their id and abbreviation if they are also part of the general party list by themselves. If the composition of an alliance changed between different elections, this change is covered as well. Furthermore, the list records renames of parties and alliances. It shows whether a party was a split from another party or a merger of a number of other parties and indicates the name (and if existing the id) of this split or merger parties. In the past there have been a few cases where an alliance manifesto was coded instead of a party manifesto but without assigning the alliance a new party id. Instead, the alliance manifesto appeared under the party id of the main party within that alliance. In such cases the list displays the information for which election an alliance manifesto was coded as well as the name and members of this alliance. 1.1 Albania ID Covering Abbrev Parties No.
