Make Sense of Climate Change Max Boykof, University of Colorado Boulder Global news on anthropogenic climate change is shaped by internatonal politcs, scientfc g reports and voices from transnatonal protest movements. This tmely volume asks how lobal local communites engage with these transnatonal discourses. Looking at communites from Greenland to Tanzania, it illuminates how diferent understandings evolve in diverse W cultural and geographical contexts while also revealing some common paterns of how people make sense of climate change. ar M This book is a valuable resource to those studying climate and science communicaton; ing those interested in understanding the various roles played by journalism, NGOs, politcs and science in shaping public understandings of climate change, as well as those exploring in the intersectons of the global and the local in debates on the sustainable transformaton l of societes. ocal As with all Open Book publicatons, this entre book is available to read for free on the publisher’s website.

  • A Message That We All Share Title Sheet
    A MESSAGE THAT WE ALL SHARE TITLE SHEET A message that we all share A research of the campaign ‘All that we share’ released in 2017 by TV 2 Denmark. In addition, an understanding of the Danish viewers' interaction with the message hereof and a view of the campaign in an international context. MASTER THESIS IN CULTURE, COMMUNICATION & GLOBALISATION 10th semester, June 2020. Aalborg University STUDENTS Cristian Voicu (20180685) Ida Marie Stenumgaard (20181122) SUPERVISOR Birthe Mousten Nielsen CHARACTERS: 281,574 PREFACE The thesis is made from an interest concerning a Danish TV networks’ decision to use the message of connectedness and diversity as part of their brand identity. We find is interesting to research why TV 2 decided to do this and further, how they did it. In addition to this, we want to see how the Danish consumers interact with this message and, given the large international response to the campaign and its message, we also want to investigate the international viewers' perception of the campaign. We want to give a special thanks to the 12 respondents and to Vicky Wassman Dahi who participated in our data collection and contributed with interesting and essential meanings and insights to our research. Further, we want to thank our supervisor, Birthe, for her perspectives and constructive feedback. We hope you enjoy the reading. Abstract Today companies employ increasingly more complex branding strategies as they try to keep up with the competition and with the evolving needs and behaviours of consumers. Brand managers are turning to using cultural or ideological principles as the core of their branding efforts.

    Marine Tenure in Indonesia's Makassar Straits The Mandar Raft Fishery Charles Zerner 40 Tompkins Place Brooklyn, New York 11231 Consultant, World Resources Institute Program in Biodiversity Washington, D.C. CONFERENCE DRAFT presented at The First Annual Meeting of the International Association for the Study of Common Property, September 27-30, 1990 Duke University, Durham, North Carolina. 2 Marine Tenure in Indonesia's Makassar Straits The Mandar Raft Fishery Abstract Although a diversity of contemporary common property marine resource management systems has been documented in the South Pacific (Johannes 1982, Johannes et al 1984; Ruddle and Johannes 1985; Cordell 1989), the existence and utility of marine cpr practices on the coasts and islands of Indonesia's vast archipelago of more than 13,000 islands have been questioned (Polunin 1984, 1985). This paper reviews developments in one contemporary marine cpr system, the Mandar raft fishery, and briefly relates preliminary findings concerning another, the Balabalangan Islands' fishery. The role of these local resource management practices in regulating access to local environments is reviewed, as are their inadequacies. Both marine tenure systems are alive but under assault: they are being undermined and delegitimized by governmental administrative practices and judicial decisions. Adverse consequences of governmental interventions in these fisheries cprs probably entails diminished welfare of local communities and decreased capacity to limit emerging environmental pressures on local resource

  • Power, Communication, and Politics in the Nordic Countries
    POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES POWER, COMMUNICATION, POWER, COMMUNICATION, AND POLITICS IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES The Nordic countries are stable democracies with solid infrastructures for political dia- logue and negotiations. However, both the “Nordic model” and Nordic media systems are under pressure as the conditions for political communication change – not least due to weakened political parties and the widespread use of digital communication media. In this anthology, the similarities and differences in political communication across the Nordic countries are studied. Traditional corporatist mechanisms in the Nordic countries are increasingly challenged by professionals, such as lobbyists, a development that has consequences for the processes and forms of political communication. Populist polit- ical parties have increased their media presence and political influence, whereas the news media have lost readers, viewers, listeners, and advertisers. These developments influence societal power relations and restructure the ways in which political actors • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard Kristensen, & Lars Nord • Edited by: Eli Skogerbø, Øyvind Ihlen, Nete Nørgaard communicate about political issues.

  • Statistical Characteristics of Convective Storms in Darwin, Northern Australia
    Examensarbete vid Institutionen för geovetenskaper ISSN 1650-6553 Nr 125 Statistical Characteristics of Convective Storms in Darwin, Northern Australia Andreas Vallgren Abstract This M. Sc. thesis studies the statistical characteristics of convective storms in a monsoon regime in Darwin, northern Australia. It has been conducted with the use of radar. Enhanced knowledge of tropical convection is essential in studies of the global climate, and this study aims to bring light on some special characteristics of storms in a tropical environment. The observed behaviour of convective storms can be implemented in the parameterisation of these in cloud-resolving regional and global models. The wet season was subdivided into three regimes; build-up and breaks, the monsoon and the dry monsoon. Using a cell tracking system called TITAN, these regimes were shown to support different storm characteristics in terms of their temporal, spatial and height distributions. The build-up and break storms were seen to be more vigorous and particularly modulated diurnally by sea breezes. The monsoon was dominated by frequent but less intense and vertically less extensive convective cores. The explanation for this could be found in the atmospheric environment, with monsoonal convection having oceanic origins together with a mean upward motion of air through the depth of the troposphere. The dry monsoon was characterised by suppressed convection due to the presence of dry mid-level air. The effects of wind shear on convective line orientations were examined. The results show a diurnal evolution from low-level shear parallel orientations of convective lines to low-level shear perpendicular during build-up and breaks.

With the cloud-resolving tropical cyclone model he had developed, the TCM4, Wang conducted various experiments in which he was able to in- crease or decrease the activity of the outer rainbands.
