Just transition prompts us to explore a number of important dimensions of Earth System Governance research, including sustainability transformations, inequality, power and justice. This Element aims to place just transition in the dynamics of the world political economy over the last several decades and to offer an overview of the varieties of just transitions based on an analytical scheme that focuses on their breadth (coverage), depth (social and ecological priorities) and ambition. The focus on breadth, depth and ambition centers on power, inequality and injustice and allows us to analyze and compare just transitions as a prerequisite for their fuller interpretation.
The objective of the present study is to analyse the meaning and function of -ly adverbs in the scientific register, specifically in history texts, across the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, known as well as the Late Modern Period.The sample analysed is from the Corpus of History English Texts (CHET) one of the subcorpus of the Coruña Corpus of English Scientific Writing.The selection of those centuries is not fortuitous as this period of the language is essential in the development of the scientific register as we know it nowadays.
Catálogo de la exposición celebrada en Valencia en 2001 sobre la obra de la creadora valenciana Jacinta Gil Roncalés, una de las artistas más originales del grupo Parpalló que avalada por una larga y fecunda trayectoria, es una referencia importante en el arte valenciano del siglo XX.

What happens when you love too much? Ileana is in the second year of high school when she meets a boy whom the rest of the students marginalize because of his limp. Her sister Manuela has left the flat, where she lived with her and her mother, to get away from an atmosphere that oppresses her and from a secret that nobody in that house wants to talk about but that weighs heavily on the atmosphere. Ileana discovers that the boy with whom her sister has gone to live abuses her and, therefore she begins to press for her "permission", as she has already done on other occasions, to act against her boyfriend. But Manuela faces the consequences and doesn't give in until she is overwhelmed by her partner's violence. Then Ileana uses a "friend" to unethically get her sister's boyfriend out of her life.

"The growing heterogeneity of Asian American and Asian diasporic voices has also given rise to variegated theoretical approaches to these literatures. This book attempts to encompass both the increasing awareness of diasporic and transnational issues, and more ""traditional"" analyses of Asian American culture and literature. Thus, the articles in this collection range from investigations into the politics of literary and cinematic representation, to ""digging"" into the past through ""literary archeology"", or analyzing how ""consequential"" bodies can be in recent literature by Asian American and Asian diasporic women writers. The book closes with an interview with critic and writer Shirle...
The general theme of MEDICON 2013 is "Research and Development of Technology for Sustainable Healthcare". This decade is being characterized by the appearance and use of emergent technologies under development. This situation has produced a tremendous impact on Medicine and Biology from which it is expected an unparalleled evolution in these disciplines towards novel concept and practices.
