Many social commentators have considered that alongside the fiscal transparency enjoined by contemporary New Zealand governments, there should be a complementary social responsibility reporting. This task is usually assigned to social indicator frameworks. However, at present (as the 2017 election looms) there is a faltering in the provision of social indicators which have been in place in New Zealand for almost two decades, with the exception of the recent 2016 survey data from Statistics New...

En los últimos años la realidad económica española ha sido cambiante, lo que se ha reflejado en el mercado laboral. La población activa se está reduciendo en número de personas a pesar de los diferentes cambios sufridos en el mercado laboral por el aumento de matrículas para estudios universitarios, y por los movimientos migratorios tanto de entrada como de salida.

It is well known that there is a conflict between Newton's and Einstein's theories of gravity and the behavior of distant galaxies. Either there is more mass in these galaxies than we see, or the pull of gravity is in these conditions stronger than expected. Rather than second-guess Newton, physicists have invented a thing they called 'dark matter', non-luminous matter. Not everyone believes in dark matter, and according to MOND (Modified Newtonian Dynamics), the gravitational...

Traditionally, maps and data were analyzed and created by desktop
software tools. Today, thanks to World Wide Web, open source software tools
and international standards, practitioners and researchers can share maps, data,
and measures. Sharing can be done with different software tools, proprietary or
open source, and with varying degrees of interoperability. Most geological maps
and data collected by instruments are produced by governmental organizations
and they are encoded in official languages and data schemas of their producers.
Linguistic barrier, different visual...

Plot shows average accumulation of new microbial OTUs with increasing numbers of groundwater samples. Data for each taxon are presented in separate panels (see panel headers). Sampling region (catchment) is encoded by colour (see legend in top-left panel). Envelopes around the average represent 95% confidence intervals from bootstrap resampling simulations.

Plot shows NMDS ordination of multivariate environmental similarity of groundwater samples. Different sampling regions (catchments) are encoded by colour. (Relative) OTU richness of microbial taxa is encoded by quadrant area: counter-clockwise from upper left, Archaea, Bacteria, Fungi and all Eukarya.

Could it be that the Konkani sārasvat brāmhaṇa acquired the prefix gauḍa after they came to Konkan ? Gauḍa meant ‘chief’ or ‘head man’ or ‘wise man’ in Konkan. For instance, Derret uses the term gāvuṇḍa for ‘a respectable farmer having many tenants under him and wielding authority in the hamlet’ in the Māḷēnaḍu plains. [Derret, 1957 : The Hoysaḷas, 7] The word gāmuṇḍa was commonly used in Kannad to mean a headman in and...
