TL;DR: A response to the commentaries featured in this volume proved more difficult than either of us anticipated as discussed by the authors. Not that we are unappreciative and humbled by the positive reception the book received.

TL;DR: Moore et al. as mentioned in this paper examined causal links between time series of sunspot number and indices of QBO, AO and ENSO activity, and concluded that the 11-year cycle sometimes seen in climate proxy records is unlikely to be driven by solar forcing, and most likely reflects other natural cycles of the climate system such as the 14 year cycle, or a harmonic combination of multi-year cycles.
Abstract: [1] It has been proposed that solar cycle irradiance variations may affect the whole planet’s climate via the stratosphere, the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) and Arctic Oscillation (AO). We test this hypothesis by examining causal links between time series of sunspot number and indices of QBO, AO and ENSO activity. We use various methods: wavelet coherence, average mutual information, and mean phase coherence to study the phase dynamics of weakly interacting oscillating systems. All methods clearly show a cause and effect link between Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) and AO, but no link between AO and QBO or solar cycle over all scales from biannual to decadal. We conclude that the 11-year cycle sometimes seen in climate proxy records is unlikely to be driven by solar forcing, and most likely reflects other natural cycles of the climate system such as the 14-year cycle, or a harmonic combination of multi-year cycles.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a six-item scale meant to measure elementary-school-aged students' overall satisfaction with schooling and the importance of school satisfaction in the holistic well-being of students.
Abstract: Schooling is associated with a broad set of outcomes other than just learning. For example, factors related to satisfaction with schooling and school learning are also factors that are known to be related to overall life satisfaction. Because of the importance of school satisfaction in the holistic well-being of students, we have developed a reliable, six-item scale meant to measure elementary-school-aged students’ overall satisfaction with schooling. The scale was developed by administering an initial set of 25 items, from an item pool developed by the Finnish National Board of Education, to 331 Finnish and Dutch students aged from six to 13. After factor and item analysis, six items were chosen for a final response set. The Finnish and Dutch versions of the six-item scale have been shown to exhibit high unidimensionality, internal consistency, and high test-retest reliability. Finnish, Dutch, and English versions of the scale are presented here along with guidelines for the scale’s administration, scoring, and interpretation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that animals can adapt to urban ecosystems behaviorally, for example, by adjusting their food preferences, foraging behavior, anti-predator behavior, or extending the length of their reproduction season.

TL;DR: Koivurova et al. as mentioned in this paper examined how the rights of Sami indigenous people are protected against adverse impacts of mining activities in all the four countries where Sami are present.
Abstract: As a consequence of the growing global need for minerals, extractive industries are continuously expanding In the North, together with several environmental problems such as climate change, this poses a real threat to the traditional livelihoods of Sami people The article examines how the rights of Sami indigenous people are protected against adverse impacts of mining activities The relevant national legislation is analyzed in all the four countries where Sami are present It is specifically examined how the main mining act in each country protects the right of Sami people to their traditional livelihoods Finally, the article sheds light on the actual effectiveness of the legal regulation This is done by analyzing the results of interviews conducted with relevant actors and stakeholders in the mining industryKeywords: indigenous peoples; Sami rights; mining(Published: March 2015)Citation: T Koivurova et al “Legal Protection of Sami Traditional Livelihoods from the Adverse Impacts of Mining: A Comparison of the Level of Protection Enjoyed by Sami in Their Four Home States” Arctic Review on Law and Politics, Vol 6, No 1, 2015, pp 11-51 http://dxdoiorg/103402/arcticv676
