William M. Lafferty, "Promoting Sustainable Electricity in Europe: Challenging the Path Dependence of Dominant Energy Systems"
English | ISBN: 184720807X | 2008 | 368 pages | PDF | 2 MB
This is a timely and comparative assessment of initiatives to promote renewable electricity sources (RES-E) in eight European countries. Carried out by the ProSus research programme at the University of Oslo in cooperation with leading research institutions in each country, the book focuses on the promotional schemes used to foster RES-E in Austria, Denmark, Finland, Ireland, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Sweden. The book is unique in that it monitors progress on implementing the EU RES-E Directive in relation to the impact of the 'dominant energy systems' in each country. Employing notions of 'path dependency/path creation', the analysis demonstrates that crucial lessons for promoting RES-E are to be found in the contextual conditions of national and regional settings; conditions that qualify the effects of more general, market-oriented schemes. The conclusions reached are of direct relevance for the ongoing debate as to the most effective policy instruments for achieving sustainable energy and climate policies in Europe.

Ian Abrahams, "Practical Work in Secondary Science: A Minds-On Approach"
English | ISBN: 184706504X | 2011 | 160 pages | PDF | 847 KB
Practical work is an essential feature of secondary science education. However, questions have been raised by some science educators about its effectiveness as a teaching and learning strategy. Whilst such an approach is generally effective in getting pupils to do things with objects and materials, it is seen as relatively ineffective in developing their conceptual understanding of the associated scientific ideas and concepts. Ian Abrahams argues that this is because it is practiced as a 'hands-on', rather than 'minds-on' activity.

Practical Business Forecasting By
2002 | 510 Pages | ISBN: 0631220658 | PDF | 4 MB
Stressing the concrete applications of economic forecasting, Practical Business Forecasting is accessible to a wide-range of readers, requiring only a familiarity with basic statistics. The text focuses on the use of models in forecasting, explaining how to build practical forecasting models that produce optimal results. In a clear and detailed format, the text covers estimating and forecasting with single and multi- equation models, univariate time-series modeling, and determining forecasting accuracy. Additionally, case studies throughout the book illustrate how the models are actually estimated and adjusted to generate accurate forecasts. After reading this text, students and readers should have a clearer idea of the reasoning and choices involved in building models, and a deeper foundation in estimating econometric models used in practical business forecasting.Content: Chapter 1 Choosing the Right Type of Forecasting Model (pages 1-28): Chapter 2 Useful Tools for Practical Business Forecasting (pages 29-63): Chapter 3 The General Linear Regression Model (pages 66-99): Chapter 4 Additional Topics for Single?Equation Regression Models (pages 100-144): Chapter 5 Forecasting with A Single?Equation Regression Model (pages 145-183): Chapter 6 Elements of Univariate Time?Series Methods (pages 185-224): Chapter 7 Univariate Time?Series Modeling and Forecasting (pages 225-269): Chapter 8 Combining Forecasts (pages 272-310): Chapter 9 Building and Presenting Short?Term Sales Forecasting Models (pages 311-354): Chapter 10 Methods of Long?Term Forecasting (pages 355-400): Chapter 11 Simultaneous?Equation Models (pages 401-442): Chapter 12 Alternative Methods of Macroeconomic Forecasting (pages 443-483):
