Research #1

ENVIRONMENT- CO2 Atmospheric Records: No evidence for global decrease.

Author (s): YoungSeok Hwang, Jong Wook Roh, Dongjun Suh, Marc‑Oliver Otto, Stephan Schlueter, Tanupriya Choudhury, Jeung‑Soo Huh, Jung‑Sup Um

Date of publication: October, 2021

Summary

Numerous studies have reported that CO2 emissions have decreased because of global lockdown during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, previous estimates of the global CO2 concentration before and after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic are limited because they are based on energy consumption statistics or local specific in-situ observations. A study by YoungSeok Hwang and others explored objective evidence for various previous studies that have claimed the global CO2 concentration decreased during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic; utilizing the top-down using satellites and the bottom-up using ground stations models.


Research #2

ENERGY - Digitalizing Green Energy system

Author(s): To Trung Thanh, Le Thanh Ha, Hoang Phuong Dung, Tran Thi Lan Huong

Date of publication: June, 2022

SUMMARY

As the technological transformation from analog to digital advances, digital technologies will make energy systems more connected, intelligent, efficient, reliable and sustainable over the coming decades. Digitalisation has an impact along the entire energy value chain, ranging from generation to transport, distribution, supply and consumption. Also, it can help integrate the growing share of renewable energy by delivering flexible electricity systems that provide demand-side solutions and energy storage.


Research #3

EDUCATION - Universities without walls: global trend v. Ukraine’s reality

Author(s): Yana Suchikova & Natalia Tsybuliak

Date of publication: February, 2023

SUMMARY

Many of Ukraine’s universities exist today only in virtual format — as ‘universities without walls’. This metaphor represents the grim reality of institutions destroyed since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. However, these virtual universities are devoid of the freedom and support of the popular global University Without Walls concept, which also offers degree programmes outside conventional classrooms.

Yana Suchikova & Natalia Tsybuliak undergo a research to explore these circumstances.


Research #4

ECONOMICS - Poverty and Inequality

Author: Centre for Global Development

Date of publication: January 26, 2023

SUMMARY

Up until early 2020, global poverty had been decreasing, but that progress is now at risk. Bllions of people still do not have the resources they need to survive and thrive. Economic growth can reduce poverty, but it can also drive inequality that generates social and economic problems. And efforts at domestic resource mobilization through taxation, though critical to funding the Sustainable Development Goals, can negatively impact the poor. In this work, Center for Global Development experts offer suggestions to improve how changes in development financing in such a way that they tackle poverty and inequality.


Research #5

EQUITY - Weaving Equity into the Fabric of Medical Research

Author(s): Krisda H. Chaiyachati, MD, MPH, MSHP, Rinad S. Beidas, PhD, Meghan B. Lane-Fall, MD, MSHP, Katharine A. Rendle, PhD, MSW, MPH, Rachel C. Shelton, ScD, MPH, & Elinore J. Kaufman, MD, MSHP

Date of publication: March, 2022
