Apart from many social and economic problems worldwide, the COVID-19 pandemic has also led to sudden halt in face-to-face climate-related meetings. Moreover, it has also negatively influenced the works related to the preparations for the sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and organizing the 26th Conference of the Parties of the UN Framework Convention o
This Letter presents measurements of long-range transverse-momentum correlations using a new observable, v0(pT), serving as a probe of event-by-event radial-flow fluctuations, the underlying radial expansion, and the medium's properties in heavy-ion collisions. Results are reported for inclusive charged particles, pions, kaons, and protons across various centrality intervals in Pb-Pb collisions at

The thriving far-right has been transforming social and political space in Western Democracies for decades. Yet despite the contemporary ecological crisis and other environmental problems, there is a considerable lack of research on the far-right’s positions on nature. The aim of this thesis is to contribute to filling the research gap and to investigate the ideological relations between the far-r
Research Aim and Questions: The research aims at addressing the question of dialectics between formal political culture and civic culture through internet as a new media with a concentration on the US government’s war discourse and the US anti-war activism.

The party won two-thirds of the mandates, allowing the government not only to follow through with their reforms but change laws which require two-third of the votes. After the inauguration they started a fast legislation process, in the frame of this process the constitutio

With increasing online identity expression through fast-paced visual platforms, the Querd

On the one hand, it focused on how the everyday performance and construction of national belonging can offer ontological security to Chinese international students, by providing simple answers to one’s sense of place and self. On t

While manufacturing has been a stated priority of economic transformation across successive regimes, Kenya’s economy remained dependent on agriculture and service sectors. Manufacturing has been largely driven by micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSME) manufacturers. Meanwhile, there is limited aca
In the midst of a global shift in world politics induced by the rise of emerging powers, the outdated and unequal international financial institutions (IFIs) that were set up after World War II are increasingly being challenged and scrutinized. International actors can use IFIs in numerous ways to enhance their position in the world system. For instance, they can be used as a vehicle to launder st
