Sally, what you said actually really resonates a lot and I do think that the lawyers both in and outside of law firms around the globe that my company engages, as well as lawyers on our legal team who have responsibility, either for different substantive areas or different parts of the world, also play that bridge, because I think, Hannah, you said at the outset, and, Dr. Hall, your paper also showed kind of the increased complexity and overlap of so many issues involving transnational law, that you really need not just the expertise but frequently how you bring the different pieces of expertise together, internally and externally, to bear on creating a solution to either a problem or driving business opportunities.

Partisan, interned in the Bolzano lager, engaged in the PCI, elected in the Provincial, and Regional Council and member of Parliament, Laura Conti (Udine 1921-Milan 1993) was among the promoters of the Lega per l'Ambiente and later President of the Scientific Committee of Legambiente. After the accident in Seveso, the ecology and the defense of the health and the right to know of the people were the heart of its political work in the Association, in the Party, in the Institutions. She spoke and wrote about science in a rigorous and clear way to all, adults and children. Great populator, but not only; she reworked the biological and ecological themes, with an original contribution, accompanying the political or scientific essays with the novels, where she elaborated the emotions of her perceptive richness as a woman. ; Partigiana, internata nel campo di Bolzano, impegnata nel PCI, eletta nel Consiglio Provinciale, Regionale e in Parlamento, Laura Conti (Udine 1921 - Milano 1993) fu tra i promotori della Lega per l'Ambiente e successivamente Presidente del Comitato scientifico di Legambiente. Dopo l'incidente di Seveso, l'ecologia e la difesa della salute e del diritto di sapere della gente furono il cuore del suo lavoro politico nell'Associazione, nel Partito, nelle Istituzioni. Parlava e scriveva di scienza in modo rigoroso e chiaro a tutti, adulti e bambini. Grande divulgatrice, ma non solo; rielaborava le tematiche biologiche ed ecologiche, con un suo contributo originale, accompagnando i saggi politici o scientifici con i romanzi, dove elaborava le emozioni della sua ricchezza percettiva di donna.

AbstractThis is an appreciation of the life and work of Michael Jones-Lee. It describes his pioneering role in establishing and developing the theory and practice of the elicitation of monetary values for changes in risks to life, health and safety, using stated preference methods.

AbstractCoefficient-based, bottom-up material flow analysis is a suitable tool to quantify inflows, outflows and stock dynamics of materials used by societies, and thus can deliver strategic knowledge needed to develop circular economy policies. Anthropogenic stocks and flows are mostly of bulk nonmetallic mineral materials related to the construction, operation and demolition of buildings and infrastructures. Consequently, it is important to be able to quantify circulating construction materials to help estimate the mass of secondary materials which can be recovered such as recycled aggregates (RA) for fresh concrete in new buildings. Yet as such bulk materials are high volume but of low unit value, they are generally produced and consumed within a region. Loops are thus bounded not only by qualitative and technical restrictions but also spatially to within regions. This paper presents a regionalized continuous MFA (C-MFA) approach taking account of these restrictions of local consumption, quality standards and technical limitations, illustrated using the example of Germany. Outflows and inflows of stocks are quantified at county level and generalized by regional type, considering demand and supply for recycled materials. Qualitative and technical potentials of recycling loops are operationalized by defining coefficients to reflect waste management technologies and engineering standards. Results show that 48% of outflows of concrete and bricks are suitable for high-quality recycling, while 52% of outflows do not fulfill the quality requirement and must be recovered or disposed of elsewhere. The achievable inflow to RA is limited by the building activity as well as the requirements of the construction industry, e.g. the RA fraction of fresh concrete must not exceed 32%. In addition, there exist spatial disparities in construction across the country. In Germany, such disparities mean that there will be a shortfall in RA of 6.3 Gt by the year 2020, while the technically available but unusable RA (due to a regional mismatch of potential supply and demand) will total 3.2 Gt. Comprehensive recycling strategies have to combine high-quality recycling with other lower-grade applications for secondary raw materials. Particularly in the case of building materials, essential constraints are not only technical but also local conditions of construction and demolition. These interrelations should be identified and integrated into a comprehensive system to manage the social metabolism of materials in support of circular economy policies.

"The My Itty-Bitty Bio series are biographies for the earliest readers. This book examines the life of political and social activist Grace Lee Boggs, a Chinese American author and revolutionary, in a simple, age-appropriate way that helps children develop word recognition and reading skills. The series celebrates diversity, covering women and men from a range of backgrounds and professions including immigrants and individuals with disabilities."--

This work will look at the construction of the child's look in relation to the recovery of the recent past in the novel 'The Path of the Forms' by Maria Laura Fernández Berro, 'The rabbit house' of Laura Alcoba and 'One night' by Leopoldo Brizuela. These three texts, written in the form of autobiographs, deal with family experiences related to the years of Argentinian civil-military dictatorship and build a vision on the past and on memory with original inputs provided by the selected approach: the innocent eye of the infant. By reproducing the experiences of politically active adults, the child's voice takes a distance from the common places of collective remembrance, and at the same time sets out in an original way the patriarchal characteristics of the period of state violence evoked. This looks also at the power and gender relationships that shape family ties. Institute for Research in Humanities and Social Sciences ; The purpose of this work is to analyze the novels "El camino de las hormigas" (María Laura Fernández Berro), "La casa de los conejos" (Laura Alcoba) and "Una misma noche" (Leopoldo Brizuela) considering the ways in which these texts combine the reconstruction of the past with the childish perspective. Written like autobiographies, these novels collect family experiences related to Argentine's last military dictatorship and offer a genuine vision of that past, that has to do with the childish and innocent perspective. The voice of the child takes distance from the common places of collective memory related to the experiences of politically active adults. At the same time, it exposes the patriarchal characteristics of that period. Moreover, the childish perspective exposes the relations of power and gender that shape family bonds. ; This work will look at the construction of the child's look in relation to the recovery of the recent past in the novel 'The Path of the Forms' by Maria Laura Fernández Berro, 'The rabbit house' of Laura Alcoba and 'One night' by Leopoldo Brizuela.

Over half of today's Masters of Fine Arts programs in creative writing in the United States were founded after the year 2000. Has the MFA-CW become a necessary credential for novelists? Relying on participant observation field research in the American literary field and interviews with authors, publishers, MFA graduates, and instructors, this work focuses on a paradox: Despite widespread agreement that the credential doesn't "teach" enrollees to be a good writers or open up a pathway to a professional writing career, many involved in the literary field hold an MFA-CW. In this paper, we look at the uses of the MFA-CW, finding that although the degree serves little if any jurisdictional or closure-related functions it is made useful in a variety of ways: for students as a symbolic resource for artistic identity, for working writers as a source of income and community, and for editors in publishing houses as a signal for possible marketing and publicity potential.
