Understanding Pandemics Such as COVID-19 through the Lenses of the “One Health” Approach
(MDPI, 2021-12-03)This study aims to contribute to research on systemic thinking in biology education, particularly how to best equip pre-service teachers to introduce health problems such as the COVID-19 pandemic using the “One Health” ... -
Understanding polymer nucleation by studying droplets crystallization in immiscible polymer blends
(Elsevier, 2023-01)This Feature Article reviews our recent work on the nucleation and crystallization of finely dispersed semicrystalline polymeric droplets in immiscible matrices. Droplets dispersions can be used as a toolbox to investigate ... -
Understanding Public Support for Externality-Correcting Taxes and Subsidies: A Lab Experiment
(Basque Centre for Climate Change/Klima Aldaketa Ikergai, 2013-01-01)The potential of taxation to correcting environmental externalities has been long recognized among economists. Yet, this welfare-enhancing policy commonly faces strong opposition by citizens. Conversely, externality-correcting ... -
Understanding risks in the light of uncertainty: low-probability, high-impact coastal events in cities
(Environmental Research Letters, 2017-01-17)A quantification of present and future mean annual losses due to extreme coastal events can be crucial for adequate decision making on adaptation to climate change in coastal areas around the globe. However, this approach ... -
Understanding segregation patterns in Chilean primary schools
(2023)This study aims to achieve two primary objectives to comprehend segregation patterns in Chilean primary schools. To fulfill these goals, we compute the school segregation index (SSI) to assess the distribution of students ... -
Understanding Tariff Deficit and its Challenges
(University of the Basque Country, Department of Foundations of Economic Analysis II, 2013-01)Regulators and market participants have become increasingly concerned about the Spanish electricity tariff deficit due to its size and the difficulties to control its growth.
