Uncovering renewable energy policy impact channels on land values, the local farm structure, and farmland heterogeneity

American Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Germany's Renewable Energy Sources Act (REA), enacted in 2000 and subsequently amended, subsidized national renewable energy production with fixed feed‐in tariffs for renewable energy sources (RE) from wind, solar, and biogas. Empirical studies suggest that the policy was creating windfall effects for landowners and attribute farmland use ...

Place‐based risk: Examining relationships between adolescent perceptions of community risk factors and adolescent substance use across geographic contexts

American Journal of Community Psychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Mixed evidence for the influence of structural and social factors on adolescent substance use behaviors exists across the rural–urban continuum. Therefore, this study explores how adolescent perceptions of structural and social community risk factors are associated with lifetime and past 30‐day use of alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes, and ...

Measuring Child Disadvantage: Comparing Multidimensional and Socioeconomic Approaches for Predicting Developmental Outcomes

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Robust measurement of disadvantage is essential to identifying and addressing inequities in children's development. We tested how a multidimensional framework of child disadvantage performed relative to a traditional socioeconomic position (SEP) approach to predict developmental outcomes.

‘Turkeys Cannot Vote for Christmas’: Why Epistemic Disobedience in an Anti‐Black World Matters

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Never in the history of global coloniality has the idea of epistemic disobedience been as important as in the 21st century. This is not only because the struggle for decolonisation has shifted from physical confrontation between the coloniser and the colonised into a battle of ideas but also because the former has deployed the idea of ...

Experimental and simulation studies on damage characteristics, crack development patterns, and strength reduction mechanisms of sandstone under laser irradiation

Geomechanics and Geophysics for Geo-Energy and Geo-Resources
In order to explore the damage characteristics and crack development laws of hard rock under laser irradiation, laser irradiation experiments on sandstone were conducted considering the interaction of three laser parameters: spot diameter, laser power ...

Induced eddy currents characteristics of coal gangue-based functional concrete in compression process

Meitan kexue jishu
Coal gangue-based cemented structures （CGCS） have been widely used in underground engineering. Due to the complex environment and limited space, there is still no effective method to monitor structural health in under-ground engineering.

Family Dispute Resolution in Australia: The Under‐Servicing of Indigenous, Migrant and Refugee Families Experiencing Family Violence

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Improving access to legal services for Indigenous, migrant and refugee women is critical to addressing family violence. In this context, Family Dispute Resolution (FDR) has long been discussed as a solution for separating families. This paper presents key findings of a research evaluation of an Australian Government $8.37 million pilot project
