TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss a five-nodes definition of a nexus and propose perspectives that may lead to a reload of climate policy with buy-in from supply-chain managers and resource-rich developing countries.
Abstract: Debate around increasing demand for natural resources is often framed in terms of a ‘nexus’, which is perhaps at risk of becoming a buzz word. A nexus between what? Over what scales? And what are the consequences of such a nexus? This article analyses why readers should care about the nexus concept in relation to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We discuss a five-nodes definition and propose perspectives that may lead to a reload of climate policy with buy-in from supply-chain managers and resource-rich developing countries. Our research perspectives address modelling approaches and scenarios at the interface of bio-physical inputs and the human dimensions of security and governance.

TL;DR: Melody repetition and harmonization produced highly similar patterns of activation, however, whereas all three tasks activated secondary auditory cortex (posterior Brodmann Area 22), only melody repetition and Harmonization activated the planum polare (BA 38), implying that BA 38 is responsible for an even higher level of musical processing than BA 22.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that RTP will reduce the variance, both within-and across-days, in the quantity of electricity demanded, and estimate the short-run impacts of this reduction on SO 2, NO x, and CO 2 emissions.
Abstract: Real-time pricing (RTP) of electricity would improve allocative efficiency and limit wholesalers’ market power. Conventional wisdom claims that RTP provides additional environmental benefits. This paper argues that RTP will reduce the variance, both within- and across-days, in the quantity of electricity demanded. We estimate the short-run impacts of this reduction on SO 2 , NO x , and CO 2 emissions. Reducing variance decreases emissions in regions where peak demand is met more by oil-fired capacity than by hydropower, such as the Mid-Atlantic. However, reducing variance increases emissions in more U.S. regions, namely those with more hydropower like the West. The effects are relatively small.

TL;DR: In this article, a field survey of 81 self-managing work teams (SMWTs) in Belgium, Finland, the Philippines, and the United States was conducted to examine the extent to which team members' resistance to SMWTs mediated the relationships between team members’ cultural values and team effectiveness.
Abstract: Using a field survey of 81 self-managing work teams (SMWTs) in Belgium, Finland, the Philippines, and the United States, we examined the extent to which team members’ resistance to SMWTs mediated the relationships between team members’ cultural values and team effectiveness. Specifically, we found that teams higher, rather than lower, in collectivism were also more productive, cooperative, and empowered; and that these relationships were fully mediated by the level of team resistance to the team-related aspect of SMWTs. Also, we found that teams that were more, rather than less, doing-oriented were also more empowered, and that this relationship was fully mediated by the level of team resistance to the self-managing aspect of SMWTs. The findings suggest that it may behoove managers who are charged with implementing SMWTs to pay close attention to the predominant cultural values inherent in the teams they lead. Additional practical and theoretical implications are discussed.
