The Role of European Union (EU) Metagovernance in Supporting the Voluntary and Community Sector in Northern Ireland

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article argues that European Union (EU) peacebuilding scholarship can benefit from organizational research on the socio‐spatial dynamics of policy implementation. It introduces a strategic‐relational heuristic to address two key gaps: the marginalization of grassroots agency in spatial analyses and the separation of strategy from ...

Do Institutions Make Street‐Level Bureaucrats Prosocial? Agent‐Based Evidence Shows That New Public Management Does Not

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Does street‐level bureaucrats' (SLBs) willingness to sacrifice their own self‐interests to meet the needs of their clients vary depending on their contexts? To date, it has been very challenging to empirically examine how SLBs who have different orientations toward social values might act in different institutional and administrative contexts.

Blocked and “Unblocked” Learning: Structural Factors That Impede and Enable Evidence‐Informed Policymaking

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article addresses a critical issue in evidence‐informed policymaking: the challenge of translating knowledge into policy outputs amidst the complex interplay between research and politics. It discusses the concept of “blocked learning,” where individual‐level learning fails to scale up to organizational and policy levels, thus impeding ...

First Confirmed Cooperative Breeding of the Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni) in China at the Sino–Lao Frontier 中国中老边境尚勇保护区首次记录白喉犀鸟 (Anorrhinus austeni) 的合作繁殖行为

open access: yesIntegrative Conservation, EarlyView.
First confirmed breeding of the Brown Hornbill in China, documented through cooperative feeding in Shangyong Protected Area. ABSTRACT The Brown Hornbill (Anorrhinus austeni), a Near Threatened frugivore, reaches the northern edge of its distribution in southern Yunnan, China, yet breeding had not been previously documented with site‐attributed nests in

Detection and Analysis of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in a Wastewater Treatment Process [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
目前,随着在越来越多的污水样品和处理后的生物残渣中检测到耐药菌和抗性基因,人们已逐渐认识到污水处理厂是这二者的一个主要容留场所。环境中的这些抗性基因可以作为感染源水平转移到人类机体微生物中,也因此导致了抗生素耐药性的扩大化。由于胞外基因分子可以在水环境中保持相当长时间的生物活性,而目前关于污水中胞外基因的报道甚少,本文将着重调查典型的污水处理工艺——膜生物反应器中的胞外基因,并在此基础上进一步考察膜生物反应器出水中的胞外抗性基因(尤其是磺胺甲恶唑抗性基因)可能对细菌产生的抗性基因转化。 首先 ...

Studies on the effect of heat shock protein 90 (Hsp90) on centromeric region gene silencing in fission yeast [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
基因沉默(Genesilencing)作为一项保守的进化机制普遍存在于生物界中,主要是因为它可以保护生物体抵抗病毒、外来核酸的入侵和维持自身遗传稳定性等功能。我们通常所说的基因沉默发生在两种水平上:一是转录水平的基因沉默(Transcriptionalgenesilencing,TGS),它是由于DNA甲基化、异染色质化及位置效应引起的;二是转录后基因沉默(Posttranscriptionalgenesilencing,PTGS ...

Justice in coexistence: Pastoralism and large carnivores on the Qinghai‐Tibet Plateau

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract The conflict between livestock husbandry and large carnivore conservation presents significant challenges in grassland ecosystems worldwide. Achieving sustainable coexistence among herders, livestock and large carnivores requires reconciling diverse perspectives and interests through equitable, inclusive and fair processes that address both ...

Urban adults' engagement in nature education and its interplay with everyday lived experiences: A case study from Shenzhen, China

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Currently, scholarship on education to foster connectedness with nature primarily focuses on children. As adults likewise face the disconnection from nature and play a key role in influencing children, it is important to understand how they perceive, engage in, and benefit from relevant programmes.
