(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)This article focuses on international students from West Africa and their migration trajectories. Based on in-depth interviews, we investigate the migration drivers and students' motivations to become international students. ... -
The drivers and trajectories of Nepalese multiple migrations to the Arab Gulf
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Within the last decade, oil-rich countries in the Middle East have become among the largest receivers of Nepalese labor migrants. It is estimated that about half of the total Nepalese labor migration currently funnels into ... -
Drivers for low-value imaging: a qualitative study of stakeholders’ perspectives in Norway
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Background One kind of overutilization of diagnostic imaging is low-value imaging, i.e., imaging that does not lead to altered clinical pathways or improved health outcomes. Despite having well-documented extension and ... -
Drivers of C cycling in three arctic-alpine plant communities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Recent vegetation changes in arctic-alpine tundra ecosystems may affect several ecosystem processes that regulate microbe and soil functions. Such changes can alter ecosystem carbon (C) cycling with positive feedback to ... -
The drivers of change for the contribution of small farms to regional food security in Europe.
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The capacity of the food system to respond to the economic, demographic and environmental challenges ahead has become a topic of increasing interest, with particular attention to the roles and responsibilities of the ... -
Drivers of change in US residential energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, 1990-2015
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Annual greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from residential energy use in the United States peaked in 2005 at 1.26 Gt CO2-eq yr−1, and have since decreased at an average annual rate of 2% yr−1 to 0.96 Gt CO2-eq yr−1 in 2019. ... -
Drivers of conservation crimes in the Rungwa-Kizigo-Muhesi Game Reserves, Central Tanzania
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Conservation crimes are posing serious threats to wildlife species and biodiversity of the Rungwa-Kizigo-Muhesi-Game-Reserves. Devising effective strategies to reduce risks to as low as reasonably possible of these crimes, ... -
Drivers of diet patterns in a globally distributed freshwater fish species
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)We analysed data of a globally distributed model organism (brown trout) in an attempt to understand relationships among biogeography, prey communities and climate on diet composition at regional spatial scales (Scandinavia), ... -
Drivers of energy saving behaviour: The relative influence of intentional, normative, situational and habitual processes
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Campaigns aiming to induce energy saving behaviour among householders use a wide range of approaches that address many different drivers thought to underpin this behaviour. However, little research has compared the influence ... -
Drivers of fluctuating embodied carbon emissions in international services trade
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)Service industries are generally considered “green” because of their marginal direct emissions; however, they account for 65% of the world gross domestic product and over 20% of total global trade in 2019. Here, we quantify ... -
The drivers of individual climate actions in Europe
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)We analyze European citizens’ willingness to take climate mitigation action with data on one-time donation choices from a survey of 15,951 people across 27 nations. Responses are explored with an interdisciplinary hybrid ... -
Drivers of maternal accumulation of organohalogen pollutants in Arctic areas (Chukotka, Russia) and 4,4′-DDT effects on the newborns
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Background One of the most worrying consequence of the production and use of persistent organohalogen pollutants (POPs) is the high accumulation in Arctic populations because of long-range transport. Study of the effects ... -
Drivers of vegetative dormancy across herbaceous perennial plant species
(Journal article, 2018)Vegetative dormancy, that is the temporary absence of aboveground growth for ≥ 1 year, is paradoxical, because plants cannot photosynthesise or flower during dormant periods. We test ecological and evolutionary hypotheses ... -
Drivers, trends, and uncertainty in long-term price projections for energy management in public buildings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)Buildings are responsible for almost 40% of energy consumption and CO2 emissions in the EU (EC, 2010). Improving the energy efficiency of buildings is a vital step towards achieving the EU climate and energy objectives. ... -
Drivers’ self-reported reasons of speeding: A Turkish driver sample from two cities
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Speeding is an important risk factor of road traffic crashes, and identifying the factors associated with speeding is crucial for road safety. In the present study, face-to-face roadside interviews were conducted to ... -
Drivetrain load effects in a 5-MW bottom-fixed wind turbine under blade-pitch fault condition and emergency shutdown
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2016)In this paper, the effect of the blade-pitch fault and emergency shutdown on drivetrain responses in a 5-MW bottom-fixed wind turbine are investigated. A 5-MW reference gearbox with 4-point support is employed and the ... -
