Co-designed agro-climate indicators identify different future climate effects for grape and olive across Europe
No full textCo-design processes involving the scientific community, practitioners, end users and stakeholders can efficiently characterize harmful weather events during the growing season that potentially result in losses of crop yield and quality. This study builds on the experience of the EU Horizon 2020 project MED-GOLD for grape and olive. The identified agro-climate indicators are extended from the MED-GOLD regions to the entire ones where grape and olive are currently grown in Europe and Turkey, and used to assess climate change impacts with intrinsic adaptation relevance stemming from the co-design process. Before 2000, only a low fraction of the European grape and olive growing areas was exposed to extreme weather events as revealed by the agro-climate indicators, but this has changed rapidly afterward. Projections show increasingly widespread extreme high temperature events from 2020 to 2080. Approximately one-third of grapevine regions and over half of olive cultivation areas are expected to experience extreme drought conditions. Additionally, the frequency of compound extreme events will increase in the future, especially in the Mediterranean region and under the high-end emission scenario RCP8.5. This outcome calls for a new decision-making mindset that embeds expected levels of climate variability and extremes as the “new normal” for grape and olive in Europe. This will facilitate deployment of the required biophysical, economic and policy adaptation tools
Constitutional Landlord Party in Carniola
No full textAvtor v svoji disertaciji obravnava politični Klub ustavovernih veleposestnikov na Kranjskem.
V 19. stoletju se je na Kranjskem razplamtel t. i. nacionalni boj, boj med Slovenci in Nemci. Avtor dokazuje, da ne na eni in ne na drugi strani nacionalno niso bili homogeni. Čeprav so ustavoverni veleposestniki bili označeni kot nemška stranka, avtor dokazuje, da so med njimi bili ljudje, ki so bili po narodnosti Slovenci.
Ustavovernim veleposestnikom so pogosto očitali pomanjkanje domoljubja in celo izdajstvo v obliki prusofilstva. Avtor ravno nasprotno dokazuje, da ustavoverni veleposestniki niso nikoli poveličevali Prusije in Bismarcka, ampak močno Avstrijo. Zagovarjali so zavezništvo z Nemčijo, ker so bili mnenja, da bi to Avstriji koristilo.
Ustavovernim veleposestnikom so pripisali tudi nasprotovanje slovenskemu šolstvu, zaviranje le-tega in poskus uničenja oz. izrinjanja. Avtor dokazuje, da ustavoverni veleposestniki niso nasprotovali slovenskemu šolstvu. Zagovarjali so ohranitev učenja nemščine. Njihovi argumenti so bili zelo praktične narave. Najbolj pogosto so navajali, da je nemščina omogočala nadaljnje šolanje in bila vsesplošno potrebna v državi.
Politični zaton ustavovernih veleposestnikov se je pričel z nastopom Taaffejeve vlade in Andreja Winklerja na Kranjskem. Avtor dokazuje, da je slednji zelo hitro in učinkovito obračunal z ustavovernimi veleposestniki. Uničil je njihov časnik Laibacher Tagblatt in jim tako odvzel glasilo, s katerim so dosegali širše množice. Še največji udarec je za ustavoverne veleposestnike predstavljalo umiranje njihovih dolgoletnih glavnih članov zaradi starosti. Tako je v osemdesetih letih 19. stoletja umrlo precej vidnih članov, recimo Karel Deschmann.
V novo epoho so ustavoverni veleposestniki stopili šele z Josephom Schweglom. Schwegel, po rodu Slovenec, je bil dolga leta v službi zunanjega ministrstva kot diplomat. Schwegel je postal eden izmed najbolj vplivnih ustavovernih veleposestnikov ne le na Kranjskem, temveč tudi v Avstriji. Razkol in razcepitev Narodnega kluba na Slovensko ljudsko stranko in Narodno napredno stranko je izkoristil ter se povezal s slednjim. Tako mu je uspelo ponovno oživiti klub na Kranjskem in ga politično reaktivirati. Tega ni izkoristil za sejanje nemira, ampak za konstruktivno sodelovanje. Ivan Hribar je ta uspeh Schwegla v svojih spominih najbolj slikovito opisal: ustavoverni veleposestniki so postali »jeziček na tehtnici« pri glasovanjih.In his dissertation, the author addresses the political club Constitutional Landlord Party in the Cronland Carniola.
In the 19th century a national fight erupted in the Carniola between the Slovenies and the Germans. The author proves that neither side was nationally homogeneous. Although the Constitutional Landlord Party was marked as a German party, the author proves that there were also people of Slovenian nationality among them.
The Constitutional Landlord Party was often accused of lacking patriotism and even treason in a form of prussophilism. The author proves the oppositethe Constitutional Landlord Party glorified Austria and never Prussia and Otto Bismarck. They defended the alliance with Germany, because they believed Austria would benefit from it.
The Constitutional Landlord Party supposedly opposed and suppressed Slovenien education, and they had also attempted to destroy it. The author proves that Constitutional Landlord Party did not in fact oppose to the Slovenian education. They defended the preservation of learning the German language. Their arguments were very practical. Frequently they mentioned that the German language enabled further education and was overall used in the country.
The political decline of Constitutional Landlord Party started with the onset of Eduard Taaffe central Government and Andrej Winkler in Carniola. The author proves that Andrej Winkler settled a score very quickly and efficiently with the Constitutional Landlord Party. He destroyed their newspaper Laibacher Tagblatt and took away their newsletter, with which they reached wider audiences. The biggest blow for the Constitutional Landlord Party represented the dying of their long-time key members because of old age. Quite a number members died in the 80s of the 19th century, for example Karel Deschmann.
The Constitutional Landlord Party stepped in a new epoch with Joseph Schwegel. Joseph Schwegel was a Slovenian by birth and was for many years in the service of the foreign ministry as a diplomat. Joseph Schwegel became one of the most influential members of the Constitutional Landlord Party not only in the Carniola but also in the Monarchy. He took advantage of the division and the split of the national club to the Catholic National party and the National Liberal club and connected with the latter. Thus, he could reinvigorate the club in Carniola and politically reactivate it. He did not take an advantage of this to make disorder, but to achieve constructive cooperation. In his memoirs Ivan Hribar described the success of Joseph Schwegel very picturesquely: The Constitutional Landlord Party “tipped the scales” in the ballots
Development of natural gas and pipeline capacity markets in the United States
No full textDeregulation of the U.S. natural gas industry has been under way since the late 1970s. The industry was deregulated to create competitive markets in natural gas and its pipeline transportation, in the expectation that competition would guide transactions toward a more efficient outcome. The author provides an overview of the deregulation process and its effect on the development and functioning of natural gas and gas transportation markets in the United States. He analyzes the trading of pipeline capacity in primary and secondary markets and the regulation of pipeline transportation, identifies mechanisms that pipeline companies use to coordinate bilateral transactions, and summarizes deregulation's main achievements in the U.S. natural gas industry. Industry achievements in the past 15 years show that expectations were not realistic. The United States enjoys a highly competitive interstate transportation market. Both markets have benefited from the deregulation of natural gas production and marketing and the liberalization of natural gas prices. Introducing open access to interstate pipelines and their unbundling from gas sales has allowed end users to participate in the efficiency gains in upstream markets. All this has contributed to declining retail prices for all major consumer categories. Deregulation is far from complete, however. Current regulation of interstate pipeline companies and the secondary transportation market does not promote efficient allocation of transportation contracts. Flexible pricing of transportation contracts should be introduced in both the primary and secondary transportation markets. But deregulation of retail markets remains the most important task and the bigger challenge facing industry regulators. Small-volume end users (such as residential or commercial customers) are captive to local distribution utilities, without access to competitive wholesale markets. All end users should be able to choose a natural gas supplier and receive natural gas at the minimum cost to society.Oil&Gas,Water and Industry,Markets and Market Access,Economic Theory&Research,Environmental Economics&Policies,Transport and Environment,Water and Industry,Oil Refining&Gas Industry,Oil&Gas,Carbon Policy and Trading

Each work is analysed separately. In the end, findings and common points form an insightful conclusion of the thesis
Climate resilience of the top ten wheat producers in the Mediterranean and the Middle East
No full textWheat is the main staple crop and an important commodity in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. These are among the few areas in the world where the climate is suitable for growing durum wheat but also are among the most rapidly warming ones, according to the available scenarios of climate projections. How much food security and market stability in the Mediterranean and the Middle East, both depending on wheat production and its interannual variability, are going to be compromised by global warming is an overarching question. To contribute in addressing it, we use a recently established indicator to quantify crop production climate resilience. We present a methodological framework allowing to compute the annual production resilience indicator from nonstationary time series. We apply this approach on the wheat production of the 10 most important producers in the Mediterranean and the Middle East. Our findings shows that if no adaptation will take place, wheat production reliability in the Mediterranean and the Middle East will be threatened by climate change already at 1.5 °C global warming. Average climaterelated wheat production losses will exceed the worst past event even if the 2 °C mitigation target is met. These results call for urgent action on adaptation to climate change and support further efforts for mitigation, fully consistently with the Paris Agreement recommendations.Fil: Zampieri, Matteo.

Andrej Bělocvětov - Theakston 1923-1997
No full textAndrej Belocvetov first dedicated his efforts to chiaroscuro still life paintings and portraits, often using heavy, pasty brushstrokes. He let himself be inspired by the work of Frans Hals and Rembrant. He also paints urban landscapes and still life work in various impressionistic variations. A very important factor influencing the artistic expression of Andrej's life was his synesthesia - in his case it was a neural connection between music and colours, the so-called coloured hearing. For Andrej, the fifties were a period of surrealist tendencies on the one hand, and to Picasso-like Classicism and the new German Objectivity of George Grosz and Otto Dix. Andrej paints portraits of women and children and still life paintings. He is diagnosed with severe epilepsy. Belocetov's health problems culminate in the fifties and persist during the sixties. The author himself spoke about "Neosurrealism", and even though he was familiar with Surrealist methods and techniques, he never really felt bound by them. He created freely, guided only by his imagination. He also put a great emphasis on the graphic aspect of the painting. He participates in group exhibitions of the Máj 57 movement in 1957 and 1958 in Prague, in 1958 in Warsaw (where he is not personally present), and in 1964 in Prague. In 1958, he has his first..
A paradox of Hart's fallible finality
No full textThis paper constitutes an appeal to redefine the concept of the fallibility of final judicial decisions. Its standard understanding, based on Hart's work, is far more problematic than is usually assumed. The author shows that the usual understanding gives rise to a contradiction. Namely, that it is (sometimes) legally correct to do that which is not legally correct. The author then briefly tests three methods of solving the problem. He concludes that none of them speaks in favour of distinguishing between the finality and infallibility of judicial decisions. Accordingly, he reexamines Hart's motivations for embracing that distinction and identifies a misstep in his reasoning
