Zur Vorbereitung der Erstellung des aktuellen nationalen Luftreinhalteprogrammes wurde ein Projekt mit dem Titel "Bewertung von Emissionsminderungspotenzialen zusätzlicher Verkehrsmaßnahmen" durchgeführt. In diesem Rahmen wurden für den Sektor "Verkehr" drei Szenarien entwickelt: Das Szenario "mit Maßnahmen" (englisch: With Measures Scenario, WM), das alle bereits beschlossenen Luftreinhalte- und Klimaschutzmaßnahmen enthält, das Szenario "mit zusätzlichen Maßnahmen" (With Additional Measures Scenario, WAM), das zusätzliche Maßnahmen umfasst, mit deren Hilfe die Emissionsreduktionsverpflichtungen der neuen NEC-Richtlinie eingehalten werden sollen, sowie das "optionale Szenario", das mögliche weitere Minderungspotenziale aufzeigen soll. Das WM-Szenario wurde aufbauend auf dem TREMOD Trend Szenario (Version 6.21) entwickelt. Im Rahmen des Projekts wurden die Emissionsfaktoren des aktuellen HBEFA 4.2 implementiert. Das WM-Szenario enthält die aktuelle Abgasgesetzgebung für Straßenfahrzeuge, Bahn, Binnenschiffe und Luftfahrt, Maßnahmen aus dem nationalen Klimaschutzprogramm sowie eigene Annahmen zur Entwicklung bis 2040. Im Rahmen einer Literaturrecherche wurden über das WM-Szenario hinausgehende Maßnahmen zur Emissionsminderung recherchiert, auf dieser Basis wurden das WAM-Szenario (WM plus "Einführung Euro 7", "Förderung Elektromobilität" und "Anpassung Lkw-Maut") und das optionale Szenario (WAM plus Geschwindigkeitsbeschränkungen, Stärkung Umweltverbund, City-Logistik, ökonomische Instrumente sowie Maßnahmen im Bereich Binnenschifffahrt, Flug- und Schienenverkehr) definiert. Für alle drei Szenarien wurden für den Verkehr Emissionen der Luftschadstoffe NOX, SO2, NMVOC, NH3 und PM2.5 in den Jahren 2025, 2030, 2035 und 2040 berechnet.

"Histories of Fascism and Anti-Fascism in Australia provides a history of fascist movements and anti-fascist resistance in Australia over the last century. In recent years, the far right has become a resurgent force across the globe, resulting in populist parties securing electoral victories, social movements organising on the streets, and acts of right-wing terrorism. Australia has not been immune to this. However, this is not merely a recent phenomenon; it has a long history of fascist and far-right groups and individuals. These groups have attempted to situate themselves within the wider settler colonial political landscape, often portraying themselves as the inheritors of a violent and exclusionary colonial past. Concurrently, these groups have linked into globalised anti-communist and white supremacist networks. At the same time, Australia has often seen resistance to fascism and the far right, from the political centre to the far left. Covering the period from the 1920s to the present day, and featuring insights from historians, sociologists, and political scientists, this book provides the most detailed account of this fascinating and important topic. This book will be of interest to students and activists with an interest in the extreme right and anti-fascism as well as Australian history, politics, and society"--

"Perspectivism: A Contribution to the Philosophy of the Social Sciences advances the philosophy of perspectivism, showing how its capacity to assess competing views of a particular concept by approaching them as different 'sides' of a multi-dimensional object supports a concept of 'adequate' rather than 'absolute' truth. Presenting four case studies - of the social scientific concepts of power, equality, crime, and sex and gender - Smith demonstrates the manner in which the perspectivist approach does not take all differing views of a concept to be equally good, but views all perspectives taken together as contributing towards the best that we can know about any given concept at the present time. An exposition and analysis of the means by which perspectivism allows for truth and objectivity in the social sciences, this volume will appeal to scholars of philosophy and across the social sciences with interests in questions of epistemology and research methodology"--
