Austrian UNESCO Biosphere Reserves as model regions for regional culinary enjoyment. eco.mont (Journal on Protected Mountain Areas Research and Management)|eco.mont Vol. 13 special issue 2021|
No full textIn many UNESCO Biosphere Reserves (BRs), the production and marketing of regional farm produce are an essential, if not the most important, contribution to regional development. Using the example of the Austrian BRs, this article reviews the possibilities and framework conditions for the production and marketing of farm produce, and discusses culinary potential as an important component of the sustainable development of the region in national and international contexts

No full textNow or Later? Fertility Intentions in Bulgaria and Hungary and the Impact of Anomie and Social Capital
No full textThis paper discusses the construction of fertility intentions in contemporary Bulgaria andHungary. It presents empirical analyses of four types of fertility intentions: whether to have ornot to have a first or a second child and if yes, whether to have this child within the next twoyears or later. Both countries have recently experienced drastic societal transformations. Basedon comparative survey data for women we find that that explanatory factors of fertilityintentions differ significantly by order of an intended birth and its timing. We attributeparticular emphasis to social anomie and social capital as important factors in shaping fertilityintentions and in timing a desired birth. Moreover, economic factors are importantdeterminants in Bulgaria, while ideational and demographic factors are significant in bothcountries. The findings suggest the necessity of explicitly taking into account birth order andthe timing of a desired birth in large-scale demographic surveys and the importance of anomieand social capital in recent fertility choices in Central and Eastern Europe
A Fixed- Effects Study of Twenty Norwegian First-Marriage Cohorts
No full textDecisions to divorce could be affected by a number of characteristics of the local community.Community characteristics may be barriers to divorce (e.g. strong social control) or increasethe attractiveness of divorcing (e.g. through access to a good remarriage market), but ourknowledge of such influences is sparse. This study examines the impact of severalcommunity-level factors that may influence a couple’s risk of divorce: Socioeconomicconditions, the local marriage market, and the normative climate. Discrete-time hazardmodels with community-level fixed effects are estimated using a register-based data set of allNorwegian first marriages contracted 1980-2000 that includes longitudinal information onboth the community and the couple level. Results show that higher average education, anunbalanced marriage market, and population density drive divorce rates down but thateconomic conditions do not matter for divorce risk. Estimates obtained from regular modelsare markedly different than those obtained with the fixed-effects approach

No full textThe COVID-19 pandemic has been a crisis for health, economy and society. At the sametime, it has acted like a pressure cooker for a range of developments in society, such as the acceleration of digitalisation of education, work, and our social lives. Moreover, it has underscored the importance and challenge of democratic and evidence-based political decision-making. Politicians had to deal with scientific uncertainty and normative issues, such as taking measures that have far-reaching consequences for citizens. Science, technology and innovation (STI) have played a crucial role in this crisis. How did governments in different countries respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, and how did they use STI to combat the crisis? What are the emerging issues that need to be dealt with in a post-COVID world? In this report, we address these question

COVID-19 – Voices from Academia (ITA-manu:script 21-02)
No full textWhat are the expert opinions of fellow academics from diverse disciplines worldwide on critical side effects, learning opportunities, and preparedness relating to the current Covid-19 pandemic? In this summary, we present preliminary results of an expert survey conducted May-August 2021. Eighty-one opinionsfrom Austria, Germany, Brazil, Canada, China, and other countries highlight crucial links between humanhealth, consumption/production patterns, and ecosystem qualities. A comprehensive analysis of the multidisciplinary expert opinions also brings cumulative effects to the fore that augment existing vulnerabilities of contemporary societies. Thirdly, the results point towards the necessity of paradigmatic change within health care systems, economies, and patterns of global collaboration to prepare for future challenges
