Energy transition, financial markets and EU interventionism: lessons from the Ukraine crisis
1. Introduction Decarbonizing the world economy necessitates unprecedented amounts of money. Despite the increasing capitalization of the low-carbon sector, the International Energy Agency in its 2023 World Energy Outlook estimates that investments in clean energy need to triple to about US$4.3 trillion annually until 2030 to keep net zero emissions by 2050 within reach (IEA, 2023).

Benefit finding in men affected by prostate cancer prior to and following radical prostatectomy – a cross-sectional study with a stratified sample - BMC Cancer
Many prostate cancer survivors are faced with psychological and physical struggles that may lead to fundamental life changes [5]. They transition through different disease phases, characterized by coping with the diagnosis, treatment, recovery, recurrence and further treatment [4, 7]. This suggests that perceiving benefits in surviving cancer might also gradually grow and evolve over the course of a PCa cancer experience.
The Diverse Modes of Oxygen Reactivity in Life & Chemistry
Abstract Breath of life: Oxygen is the quintessential molecule of life on our planet. Three molecular oxygen species dominate natural and artificial oxygenation reactions: the singlet and triplet spin states of dioxygen and ozone. This Review summarizes key applications of these molecular oxygen species in biology, medicine, technologies, and laboratories. Selected experimental procedures are included that illustrate the properties of the respective oxygen species.

Unequal Jury Representation and Its Consequences
Abstract We analyze the extent and consequences of unequal representation on juries in Harris County, Texas. We first document that residents from predominantly white and high-income neighborhoods are substantially over-represented on juries. Using quasi-random variation in those called for jury duty each day, we next establish that Black defendants are more likely to be convicted and receive longer sentences from juries with more residents from these overrepresented neighborhoods.

Commentary: UN climate summit COP26 could not come at a more challenging time
COLCHESTER, United Kingdom: About 25,000 people are expected to travel to Glasgow this autumn for the annual meeting of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). This will be the 26th Conference of the Parties, also known as COP26, and all 197 states which are parties to the UNFCCC are supposed to be represented.

Black Motorists Face More-Serious Charges for Excessive Speeding Than White Motorists Do
Research Brief In 25 U.S. states, motorists accused of excessive speeding can face either a criminal misdemeanor or a traffic infraction, and the charge is at the discretion of law enforcement officers and the courts. Using data on speeding violations in 18 Virginia counties over a nine-year period, researchers found large racial disparities in who was convicted of a misdemeanor.

Unequal jury representation and its consequences
Shamena Anwar, Patrick Bayer, Randi Hjalmarsson 23 April 2021 In the justice system, the jury is meant to be representative of the community. Yet, juries across the US are often highly unrepresentative, especially for racial minority populations. Using data from Harris County, Texas, this column examines how unequal representation impacts verdicts and sentences. Many zip codes with the highest proportion of white residents are overrepresented on juries.

Speculative Fever: Investor Contagion in the Housing Bubble
Abstract Historical anecdotes abound of new investors being drawn into a booming asset market, only to suffer when the market turns. While the role of investor contagion in asset bubbles has been explored extensively in the theoretical literature, causal empirical evidence on the topic is much rarer.

The Paris climate agreement calls for big investments in renewable energy. Here’s why governments love it.
Ice breaks off from the northern wall of the Perito Moreno Glacier on Nov. 29, 2015, in Los Glaciares National Park, part of the Southern Patagonian Ice Field in Argentina. (Mario Tama/Getty Images) March 14, 2016 This past December, governments of the world met in Paris to negotiate a global climate agreement. It’s considered a breakthrough. Here’s why. Until now, climate agreements were “top-down,” giving countries targets and timetables for reducing climate-warming carbon emissions.
The European Union Emissions Trading System reduced CO2 emissions despite low prices
Significance International carbon markets are an appealing and increasingly popular tool to regulate carbon emissions. They put a price on carbon emissions and make pollution less attractive for regulated firms. However, carbon markets often produce prices which are deemed too low relative to the social cost of carbon. We argue that despite low prices, carbon markets can help reduce emissions.
An Entirely Solvent-Free Photooxygenation of Olefins under Continuous Flow Conditions
An Entirely Solvent-Free Photooxygenation of Olefins under Continuous Flow Conditions The photooxygenation of alkenes with singlet oxygen constitutes a versatile, atom-economical transformation. The choice of solvents is key to the success of this oxyfunctionalization reaction as it has direct impact on the solubility of substrates, the lifetime of the reactive oxygen species, and affects the up-scaling of the process.
Off-grid solar power and rural electrification
While grid extension is the main driver of rural electrification in India today and almost all Indian villages are now electrified, the reality at the habitation and household level is very different. In Bihar and Uttar Pradesh, the electrification of rural households remains a daunting challenge for state governments.Considering these facts and the falling costs of off-grid solar power, distributed alternatives to grid extension have drawn a lot of attention in India.
Does basic energy access generate socioeconomic benefits? A field experiment with off-grid solar power in India
This article assesses the socioeconomic effects of solar microgrids. The lack of access to electricity is a major obstacle to the socioeconomic development of more than a billion people. Off-grid solar technologies hold potential as an affordable and clean solution to satisfy basic electricity needs. We conducted a randomized field experiment in India to estimate the causal effect of off-grid solar power on electricity access and broader socioeconomic development of 1281 rural households.
Race, Segregation, and Politics
The twenty-third discussion explores the impact of persistent racial segregation on political discourse and electoral outcomes in the United States. Racial segregation in housing provides little opportunity for whites and blacks, Latinos, Muslims, and others to know each other. In the absence of personal familiarity with the "Other," stereotypes often take hold.
How does having more women in positions of power change society?
Despite progress in recent decades, women remain underrepresented (or not represented at all) in many aspects of political and civic life. In the United States, the current Congress is about 20 percent female; there has not (yet) been a female president (out of 44 in total); and the first female Supreme Court justice, Sandra Day O’Connor, was appointed only in 1981. And, in many non-Western societies, the underrepresentation of women in public life is even starker.
