The authors reflect on recent experiences at UN-Habitat and other international organizations to rethink the roles of planning towards larger development goals and to reform planning systems in places most in need of them.They consider the difficulties but ultimate necessity to learn from a variety of contexts and experiences to articulate general
Improving student understanding of fermionic and bosonic wave function
[This paper is part of the Focused Collection in Investigating and Improving Quantum Education through Research.] We discuss how research on student difficulties was used as a Sculpture Figurines guide to develop, validate, and evaluate a Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorial (QuILT) to help students learn how to determine the completely symmetric
Attenuation of eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage conferred by maximal isometric contractions: a mini review
Although beneficial in determined contexts, eccentric exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) might be unwanted during training regimens, competitions and daily activities.There are a vast SLEEP CAP number of studies investigating strategies to attenuate EIMD response after damaging exercise bouts.Many of them consist of performing exercises that ind
Government responses to oilfield discoveries: Impact of resource wealth on non-resource tax revenues
It has often been argued that countries that Pants produce natural resources mobilize less non-resource tax revenues than other countries.In this paper, we exploit the exogenous variation in the timing of giant oilfield discoveries to estimate the causal impact of natural resources on taxation.The timing of giant oilfield discoveries is arguably ex
