Baza podataka o hrvatskim tlima (Database of Croatian Soils)\u00a0 The database contains data on soil profiles and covers the total area of the Republic of Croatia. Only data accepted by external control are entered in the Database, as well as those profiles for which there is a minimum data. External control of data reliability was performed by comparing the genetical-morphological characteristics of the soil determined by field research and the data of laboratory soil analyses. The profiles for which the field and laboratory analyses are found to differ are rejected. In addition to data on soil properties, basic data on pedogenetic factors are given. The soil profiles surveyed in the period 1963-1996 are entered in the database. The majority of data come from the Basic Pedological Map of Croatia (Osnovna pedolo\u0161ka karta Hrvatske - OPKH) project. The following are entered in the Database: 1347 profiles in volume I and 851 profiles in volume II, a total of 2198 pedological profiles Spatial variability of trace and toxic metals in agricultural soils of Croatia, Project Leader: Marija Romi\u0107\u00a0 The problem of exposure of agricultural soils to different anthropogenic inputs of toxic metals, but also of other potentially toxic substances, has acquired global dimensions in the last decades. Besides atmospheric deposition, environmental dispersion of chemicals used in agriculture is an important factor directly affecting the natural soil functions, or indirectly endangering the biosphere by bioaccumulation and inclusion into the food chain. Metal concentrations in soil can be generally predicted starting with the element abundance in the parent material. The extent to which pedogenesis affects heavy metals distribution varies according to the prevailing factors affecting soil processes. Because of the toxicity to plants and animals, it is important to determine their content, forms and distribution. Such hypotheses may be tested by total metal content determination, as well as other elements relevant for geochemical valorization of the agricultural soils of Croatia. Thus, the spatial variability and baseline of elements in soils will be determined by means of relevant statistical and geostatistical methods. The maps of toxic metal distribution will be produced and the suitability of soils for agriculture will be assessed. GIS is increasingly used in environmental assessment studies because of its ability to superimpose different spatial information and to combine them with the results of statistical analysis, enabling thus the detection of complex spatial relationships among different parameters. Geostatistics and multivariate statistics has been widely used in geochemical studies to identify pollution sources and to apportion natural vs. anthropogenic contribution, establishing a geochemical background as well. The main objectives of the investigation are: (i) to provide a geochemical database relevant to the agricultural soils in Croatia; (ii) to provide a detailed information about the natural variability of the geochemical background which is pertinent to administrative and legal issues as well as to safety food production and environmental protection; (iii) presenting the influence of human and other environmental activities on the soil quality mainly regarding the toxic and trace metal contents, and (iv) we are going to observe the influence of natural conditions on regional differences which have been widely neglected so far, and have not been taken into account while national regulations and guidelines on soil toxic metal contents have been established. Change in soil carbon stocks and calculation of trends in total nitrogen and organic carbon in soil and C: N ratio\u00a0 The project is funded by the Fund for Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency within the Program 'Upgrading and Development of the Environmental Information System and Improving the Monitoring and Reporting System on the State of the Environment in the Republic of Croatia', Component 2: Improving the Monitoring and Reporting System on the State of the Environment Croatia; improving the system of data collection and exchange and developing methodologies for their processing in accordance with the guidelines of the UNFCCC and the Kyoto Protocol defined by the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change).\u00a0 The project holder is the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Energy, and the executors are the Croatian Geological Institute, the Croatian Forestry Institute and the Agricultural Land Agency. In the period 2014-2017, field and laboratory research of soil conditions was conducted at 725 representative locations. General data on the location of sampling were collected, which contain administrative, locational, geographical and other data (relief, climatic and meteorological data, detailed data on land use and vegetation cover, description of surface soil properties). Field soil sampling for each LULUCF land use category was performed according to a modified methodology described in the EU DG JRC (Joint Research Center) 'Protocol for soil sampling to confirm changes in organic carbon stocks in the EU' by Stolbovoy et al. 2007 (Soil sampling protocol to certify the changes of organic carbon stock in mineral soil of the European Union - EU JRC). The protocol modifications aimed to ensure reporting under the UNFCCC and Kyoto protocols, i.e., to ensure compliance with the IPCC methodology. Soil sampling on forest land (FL) according to the JRC protocol is planned at two depths of 0-10 cm and 10 - 20 cm and an organic layer (list), but due to reporting requirements under the UNFCCC and Kyoto protocol, sampling was carried out at a depth of 20 - 30 cm. Land under crops (CL) was sampled at two depths (0-20 cm and 20-30 cm) and grasslands (GL), wetlands (WL), settlements (SL) and other land (OL) were sampled at three depths 0- 10, 10-20 and 20-30 cm. Geochemical analyzes were performed at depths of 0\u201310 and 20\u201330 cm for forest soils (FL) and for meadows and pastures (GL) while for soils under crops (CL) composite samples of 0\u201330 cm and 0\u201320 cm were analyzed. Network of piezometers To get a more accurate depth to bedrock parameter, positions of 812 piezometers are considered as they have at least 4 meters of depth to bedrock.

These partners provide applicants with tools and coaching (T4.1), to ease the application process and guide them through consortium building and to design sustainable and well-thought soil health improving living labs. To provide possible applicants from all over Europe with valuable advice, NATI00NS has found mentors in 18 European\u00a0countries, who can be consulted by possible applicants. This deliverable is written to report on the implementation and execution of tasks 4.1,\u00a0Coaching Sessions, and 4.2, Capacity Building. The tasks feed into NATI00NS\u2019 main objective,\u00a0that is enhancing the possibilities of more viable and well-planned soil health improving living\u00a0lab applications under the Mission auspices, which hopefully will lead to the establishment of\u00a0well-functioning living labs in the near future. The deliverable will provide both the public and\u00a0the funding body, with knowledge on NATI00NS\u2019 initial progress and results. In short, the function of T4.1 has been to identify candidate Soil Health Living Lab Mentors in\u00a0all EU member states and associated countries, followed up by a process aligning the\u00a0candidates' perceptions on the meaning of a living lab and understanding the topic description\u00a0in dept by participating in on-line training sessions. This concluded in mentor candidates\u00a0signing the Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) agreements to officially become mentors and\u00a0thereby be mandated to coach possible living lab applicants within the NATI00NS framework. Alongside the coaching of mentors, NATI00NS\u2019 has carried out capacity building, prepared and\u00a0implemented by ENoLL, the European Network of Living Labs, a NATI00NS consortium partner,\u00a0that leads online support to bolster up stakeholders around the Soil Mission (hereafter only\u00a0described as the Mission) and broaden their understanding of what a LL is. ENoLL have for this\u00a0purpose, produced e-learning materials, including factsheets and webinars. The Capacity\u00a0Building in combination with Coaching Session activities, provide information and training,\u00a0that enhance the chances of well-conceived and relevant Soil Health Living Labs being created,\u00a0by making sure living lab applicants are not only trained well by mentors with knowledge on\u00a0living lab concepts; participants will also have capacity building material available to them in\u00a0order to design and create a strong Living Lab consortium. The materials include manuals\u00a0which they can use to design a living lab. The capacity building provided by NATI00NS does, in\u00a0general, provide applicants with hands-on capacities, whether it be factsheets or webinars on\u00a0specific living lab related questions.In supporting the applicants at national level identifying It has been important to associate\u00a0skilled mentors has been of the essence. Therefore, the NATI00NS consortium has mapped\u00a0stakeholders across EU Member States and Associated Countries during most of its first\u00a0\u2018introduction and pilot\u2019 phase, to get in contact with gatekeepers in each country. In most countries, the National Contact Point (NCP) structure, and its responsible officers\u00a0appointed either for the Mission or the Food, Bioeconomy, Natural Resources, Agriculture and\u00a0Environment area, were primary contact points, since it is already an integrated part of their\u00a0job description, to support the Soil Health Mission calls. Consequently, many NCPs have taken\u00a0on the role of mentors themselves while others have tried assisting NATIOONS in finding\u00a0suitable mentor candidates, interested in acting as mentors within the NATI00NS framework. NCPs are national structures associated to the framework programme. NCPs give personalised support on the spot and in applicants' own languages. After reaching out to possible mentors, AU AGRO has continuously answered questions about\u00a0the scope of the mentoring work \u2013 such as the mentors\u2019 expected workload, responsibilities,\u00a0and for how long they are expected to commit to mentoring duties. In parallel, NATIOONS has\u00a0planned and implemented two training of trainers webinars that offered training to candidate\u00a0mentors, so they all could be aligned in terms of living lab concepts, practical circumstances\u00a0regarding the application process and confidentiality measures, after which they were able to\u00a0take an informed decision about becoming NATI00NS Mentors or not.All webinar participants, whether they joined for reasons of curiosity or already knew they\u00a0would commit to mentoring, were then briefed on, how it is necessary for them to read and\u00a0sign NDA-documents to officially become NATI00NS appointed Soil Health Living Lab mentors,\u00a0and thus appear on the NATIOONS website with name and contact details. NATIOONS have\u00a0since then continuously collected signed NDA documents and updated the website\u00a0accordingly, thereby expanding the number of mentors available to possible applicants.To carry out the work related to recruiting soil health living lab mentors and training them in\u00a0living lab-affiliated concepts, a number of Aarhus University\u2019s soil and farming systems\u00a0scientists and research support advisers, planned a training programme for mentors. They have also been responsible for all communication and mapping of possible mentors, organising of the training of trainers event (I.e., training the mentors that will eventually offer\u00a0training to living lab applicants) webinars and gathering and handling Non-disclosure\u00a0Agreement (NDA) documents and FAQ by mentors and applicants. Content for webinars on\u00a0soil health and living labs, have been created and presented by the NATI00NS partners who\u00a0also produced the slides for the National Engagement Events \u2013 another NATIOONS activity\u00a0belonging to another work package, which will be described in its own deliverable. Additionally, a senior officer from the Aarhus University\u2019s Research Support Office, with great\u00a0experience in providing support for framework programme applicants, provided webinar\u00a0attendants with important guidance on application practices. The Capacity Building (CB) efforts plays a pivotal role in the NATI00NS project, to ensure the\u00a0success of the Mission. Its main objective is to guarantee the submission of high-quality\u00a0applications for the first two sets of topics aimed at establishing Living Labs (LLs) in 2023 and\u00a02024. These efforts are led by the European Network of Living Labs (ENoLL) as part of Work\u00a0Package 4, 'Supporting Proposal Applicants.'\u00a0NATI00NS\u2019 Capacity Building brings together a comprehensive range of essential training and\u00a0guidance activities tailored specifically for applicants interested in the LL topics related to the\u00a0Mission. At its core, Capacity Building provides online support materials for stakeholders\u00a0involved in the Mission. These materials include a series of e-learning resources, such as\u00a0Factsheets and recorded webinars, offering information about the criteria governing Soil\u00a0Health LLs and the objectives of the Missions within the context of various land use types.

He pays much attention to the relations between the internal legal systems regulating the protection of patents, trademarks, designs and copyrights to the law of the Community. Both in the present as well as in the past \u2014 1992 prospective regulation of the EEC law a departure from the protection granted by internal (national) legal systems seems not only undesirable but also impossible. Much time is needed for common European protection laws to supersede the coexisting protection provided by internal systems. The analysis of particular industrial property rights allows the author to formulate the conclusion that the greatest progress in that respect has been achieved in the EEC patent law; European patents granted on the strength of the Munich Convention of 1973 are much in demand. It should be stressed that the creation by the end of 1992 of uniform internal EEC market is a strong incentive for intensifying the works on the uniformization of industrial property protection. The author also analyses the decisions of the EEC Court with respect to the law on industrial property and free flow of goods on the EEC market, paying special attention to decisions based on Art. 36 of the Treaty of Rome. As to the relation between the principle of free flow of goods and the restrictions resulting from internal systems of industrial property law hitherto existing decisions of the EEC Court will fully remain in force also after 1992. The Court adopted a principle, well known in German law since long, of exhaustion of a right to trademark. This principle allows neither to divide the Common Market by means of national trademarks nor to isolate it from goods produced or reimported from the outside of the Common Market as long as such goods have been provided with a trademark by an authorized person. Circulation restrictions are to maintain arificially high prices for trademarked goods. Towards the end of his article the author points out that there is a danger of changing that situation once the European trademark law comes into force. Recently, under the pressure of industrial lobbies, views have been expressed that this law should regulate only the institution of \u201eEuropean' and not \u201eexterritorial' exhaustion of a right. Such a short-sighted and economically unjustified regulation could lead to the protectionistic isolation of the Community from the rest of the world.

Atmospheric iron (Fe) deposition to the open ocean affects net primary productivity, nitrogen fixation, and carbon uptake. We investigate changes in soluble Fe (SFe) deposition from the pre\uffe2\uff80\uff90industrial period to the late 21st century using the EC\uffe2\uff80\uff90Earth3\uffe2\uff80\uff90Iron Earth System model. EC\uffe2\uff80\uff90Earth3\uffe2\uff80\uff90Iron considers various sources of Fe, including dust, fossil fuel combustion, and biomass burning, and features comprehensive atmospheric chemistry, representing atmospheric oxalate, sulfate, and Fe cycles. We show that anthropogenic activity has changed the magnitude and spatial distribution of SFe deposition by increasing combustion Fe emissions and atmospheric acidity and oxalate levels. We report that SFe deposition has doubled since the early industrial era, using the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 6 emission inventory. We highlight acidity as the main solubilization pathway for dust\uffe2\uff80\uff90Fe and oxalate\uffe2\uff80\uff90promoted processing for the solubilization of combustion\uffe2\uff80\uff90Fe. We project a global SFe deposition increase of 40% by the late 21st century relative to present day under Shared Socioeconomic Pathway (SSP) 3\uffe2\uff80\uff937.0, which assumes weak climate change mitigation policies. Conversely, SSPs with stronger mitigation pathways (1\uffe2\uff80\uff932.6 and 2\uffe2\uff80\uff934.5) result in 35% and 10% global decreases, respectively. Despite these differences, SFe deposition increases over the equatorial Pacific and decreases in the Southern Ocean (SO) for all SSPs. We further observe that deposition over the equatorial Pacific and SO are highly sensitive to future changes in dust emissions from Australia and South America, as well as from North Africa. Future studies should focus on the potential impact of climate\uffe2\uff80\uff90 and human\uffe2\uff80\uff90induced changes in dust and wildfires combined.This paper investigated occupational gender segregation and its vertical and horizontal dimensions in Turkey. In order to explore the extent of inequality entailed in occupational gender segregation (measured by the vertical dimension), average pay levels across occupations were used. In addition to the economic inequalities captured by pay, aiming to explore the social inequalities inherent in occupational segregation, Cambridge Social Interaction and Stratification Scale scores across occupations were used. The results showed that the extent of inequality associated with occupational gender segregation was substantial, operating to the detriment of women. Women were more likely to be employed in lower-paid jobs and in occupations that ranked lower across the overall stratification structure, while men remained at an advantaged position in terms of both the pay levels and the positions of the occupations they held in the social hierarchy.1 most likely reflect the high porosity of the andic soils underlying the widespread regenerating forests in this seasonally wet region.", "keywords": ["13.

However, the symbiotic functions of AMF in remediation of polluted soils depend on plant\u2013fungus\u2013soil combinations and are greatly influenced by environmental conditions. To better understand the adaptation of plants and the related mycorrhizae to extreme environmental conditions, AMF colonization, spore density and community structure were analyzed in roots or rhizosphere soils of Robinia pseudoacacia. Mycorrhization was compared between uncontaminated soil and heavy metal contaminated soil from a lead\u2013zinc mining region of northwest China. Samples were analyzed by restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) screening with AMF-specific primers (NS31 and AM1), and sequencing of rRNA small subunit (SSU). The phylogenetic analysis revealed 28 AMF group types, including six AMF families: Glomeraceae, Claroideoglomeraceae, Diversisporaceae, Acaulosporaceae, Pacisporaceae, and Gigasporaceae. Of all AMF group types, six (21%) were detected based on spore samples alone, four (14%) based on root samples alone, and five (18%) based on samples from root, soil and spore. Glo9 (Rhizophagus intraradices), Glo17 (Funneliformis mosseae) and Acau3 (Acaulospora sp.) were the three most abundant AMF group types in the current study. Soil Pb and Zn concentrations, pH, organic matter content, and phosphorus levels all showed significant correlations with the AMF species compositions in root and soil samples. Overall, the uncontaminated sites had higher species diversity than sites with heavy metal contamination. The study highlights the effects of different soil chemical parameters on AMF colonization, spore density and community structure in contaminated and uncontaminated sites.

Despite the fact that nitrifying microbes play a crucial role in regulating ecosystem nitrogen (N) cycling, our understanding of how long-term N fertilization might influence nitrifying microbial groups is still limited. Here we used soil from a 44-year-old grassland fertilization experiment and performed high-throughput pyrosequencing analyses (and real-time quantitative PCR) to determine whether and how the identity and abundance of nitrifying microbes has changed in response to chronic inorganic (chemical fertilizer) and organic (cattle slurry) N additions. We found that the amoA genes of ammonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) significantly increased under organic N additions, whereas ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AOB) increased with the addition of inorganic N. Proportional changes of AOA, AOB and nitrite-oxidizing bacteria (NOB) demonstrate that nitrifying phylotypes are influenced by chronic N additions. We also found that AOA/AOB ratios increased with higher application rates of cattle slurry suggesting that AOA may affect N cycling more in soils receiving animal manures, whereas AOB are functionally more important in chemically fertilized soils. Phylogenetic analysis shows that shifts in AOA and AOB community structure occurred through time across N fertilization treatments. For example, (a) fosmid 29i4-like AOA, (b) Nitrosospira cluster 3-like AOB, and (c) Nitrospira-like NOB dominated nitrifying communities in fertilized soils. Finally, high-throughput pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes show that N fertilization (either inorganic or organic) increased the abundance of Actinobacteria in soils while it decreased the abundance of Proteobacteria.

These soil ecosystems are climate-sensitive, where projected future warming may have profound effects on biological communities and biogeochemical cycling. Warmer temperatures will mobilize meltwater from permafrost and glaciers, may increase precipitation and may be accompanied by pulses of nutrient availability. Enhanced water and nutrient availability have the potential to greatly influence desert soil biology and ecosystem processes. The objectives of this 5-year study were to determine which nutrient elements (C, N, P) are most limiting to dry valley soil communities and whether landscape history (i.e., in situ soil type and stoichiometry) influences soil community response to nutrient additions. After 3 years of no noticeable response, soil CO2 flux was significantly higher under addition of C+\u00a0N than the other treatments, regardless of in situ soil stoichiometry, but microbial biomass and invertebrate abundance were variable and not influenced in the same manner. A stable isotope incubation suggests that fertilization increases C and N mineralization from organic matter via stimulating microbial activity, with loss of both the applied treatments as well in situ C and N. However, these responses are relatively short-lived, suggesting long-term impacts on C and N cycling would only occur if meltwater and nutrient pulses are sustained over time, a scenario that is increasingly likely for the dry valleys.", "keywords": ["2.

Investigating the underlying predictors of speeding behaviour deserves the full attention of research. This study aims to examine the effects of demographic variables on the perceived deterrent mechanisms and to predict speeding behaviour to target appropriate prevention programmes. In this study, 212 randomly selected drivers having a valid car driving licence participated in an online survey. The results revealed that demographic variables influenced drivers\uffe2\uff80\uff99 perceptions towards social and legal sanctions as well as material loss. The model revealed that two sanction-related constructs, that is, legal sanction (b = \uffe2\uff88\uff920\uffe2\uff8b\uff85227, P = 0\uffe2\uff8b\uff85007) and material loss (b = \uffe2\uff88\uff920\uffe2\uff8b\uff85218, P = 0\uffe2\uff8b\uff85005), as well as lax perception towards traffic accident (b = \uffe2\uff88\uff920\uffe2\uff8b\uff85176, P = 0\uffe2\uff8b\uff85025), were the significant predictors of speeding behaviour. These findings suggested that prevention programmes should prioritise young and single drivers. The most effective targeted prevention programmes are highlighted accordingly based on the study results.Significant rates of atmospheric dihydrogen (H2) consumption have been observed in temperate soils due to the activity of high-affinity enzymes, such as the group 1h [NiFe]-hydrogenase. We designed broadly inclusive primers targeting the large subunit gene (hhyL) of group 1h [NiFe]-hydrogenases for long-read sequencing to explore its taxonomic distribution across soils. This approach revealed a diverse collection of microorganisms harboring hhyL, including previously unknown groups and taxonomically not assignable sequences. Acidobacterial group 1h [NiFe]-hydrogenase genes were abundant and expressed in temperate soils. To support the participation of acidobacteria in H2 consumption, we studied two representative mesophilic soil acidobacteria, which expressed group 1h [NiFe]-hydrogenases and consumed atmospheric H2 during carbon starvation. This is the first time mesophilic acidobacteria, which are abundant in ubiquitous temperate soils, have been shown to oxidize H2 down to below atmospheric concentrations. As this physiology allows bacteria to survive periods of carbon starvation, it could explain the success of soil acidobacteria. With our long-read sequencing approach of group 1h [NiFe]-hydrogenase genes, we show that the ability to oxidize atmospheric levels of H2 is more widely distributed among soil bacteria than previously recognized and could represent a common mechanism enabling bacteria to persist during periods of carbon deprivation.Different grazing strategies impact grassland plant production and may also regulate the soil carbon formation. For a site in semiarid temperate steppe, we studied the effect of combinations of rest, high and moderate grazing pressure over three stages of the growing season, on the process involved in soil carbon sequestration. Results show that constant moderate grazing (MMM) exhibited the highest root production and turnover accumulating the most soil carbon. While deferred grazing (RHM and RMH) sequestered less soil carbon compared to MMM, they showed higher standing root mass, maintained a more desirable pasture composition and had better ability to retain soil N. Constant high grazing pressure (HHH) caused diminished above- and belowground plant production, more soil N losses and an unfavorable microbial environment and had reduced carbon input. Reducing grazing pressure in the last grazing stage (HHM) still had a negative impact on soil carbon. Regression analyses show that adjusting stocking rate to ~5SE/ha with ~40% vegetation utilization rate can get the most carbon accrual. Overall, the soil carbon sequestration in the temperate grassland is affected by the grazing regime that is applied and grazing can be altered to improve soil carbon sequestration in the temperate steppe.

To explore grazing effects on carbon fluxes in alpine meadow ecosystems, we used a paired eddy-covariance (EC) system to measure carbon fluxes in adjacent fenced (FM) and grazed (GM) meadows on the Tibetan plateau. Gross primary productivity (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (Re) were greater at GM than FM for the first two years of fencing. In the third year, the productivity at FM increased to a level similar to the GM site. The higher productivity at GM was mainly caused by its higher photosynthetic capacity. Grazing exclusion did not increase carbon sequestration capacity for this alpine grassland system. The higher optimal photosynthetic temperature and the weakened ecosystem response to climatic factors at GM may help to facilitate the adaption of alpine meadow ecosystems to changing climate.

We randomly assigned, in equal numbers, adults 18 to 45 years of age in whom T. trichiura or hookworm eggs had been detected in stool samples to receive emodepside, at a single oral dose of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 mg; albendazole, at a single oral dose of 400 mg; or placebo. The primary outcome was the percentage of participants who were cured of T. trichiura or hookworm infection (the cure rate) with emodepside 14 to 21 days after treatment, determined with the use of the Kato-Katz thick-smear technique.

The paper attempts to understand the relation between pastoral cultures and irrigation-based intensive farming regimes promoted by modern development represented by the Indira Gandhi Canal (IGNP) in western Rajasthan. Participant observation and development practice engagement with pastoral communities over the past three decades give an opportunity to reflect on epistemic rationality that constitutes the discourse of modern development, formal statecraft of technocracy, and rule by experts. Historical markers of pastoralism in the interconnected regions of north-west Rajasthan and bordering regions of Multan and Bahawalpur in Pakistan are situated to trace thelonguee dureeof pastoral life systems in the Thar desert region. This oscillation between enhanced moisture regimes following inundation and increased desiccation of a moisture-deficient arid region has been at the core of sustaining the culture of pastoralism among semi-nomadic pastoralists of Muslim communities in north-west Rajasthan. The IGNP canal produces a space for modern development that opens up irrigated farming and an intensive natural resource use regime. This political economy of the IGNP canal systematically marginalizes pastoral natural resource use that was ecologically embedded. The varied experiences of adaptation responses by pastoral communities to this state-led marginalization points to the tenacious ability of pastoralism to continually adapt to the radically changing ecology. The paper argues for a complementarity of pastoral and farming use as an inclusive development vision. Beginnings can be made by a compassionate engagement with cultures of pastoralism that are endowed with resilience rooted in a historically constituted rationality to adapt and innovate with changing times. This may hold cues for a sustainable future of Thar.

There should be no disagreement with the proposal for research into the role of applied social science in the formation of policy. The relation between social science and the formation of social policy and social action is, in fact, one of the more important areas of study in the general field of social control. The outline for research prepared by Mr. Merton constitutes a good framework for the investigation of important aspects of the relationship between social science and the world of practical affairs. But there is room for vigorous disagreement with a fundamental assumption about the role of applied social science with which he starts, and there are various broad considerations of importance in framing the proposed study which merit mention or greater elaboration. It is to these matters that this essay is addressed.

In the modern world, many people are changing old dietary and lifestyle habits to improve the quality of their living\uffe2\uff80\uff94to treat or just prevent possible diseases. The main goal of this pilot study was to assess the food and lifestyle impact on exhaled breath volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in various population groups. It was done by employing a recently validated portable membrane-inlet mass spectrometer\uffe2\uff80\uff94MIMS. Thus, the obtained results would also represent the additional confirmation for the employment of the new instrument in the breath analysis. The pilot study involved 151 participants across Europe, including people with overweight, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, people with poor-quality diet and professional athletes. Exhaled breath acetone, ethanol, isoprene, and n-pentane levels were determined in samples before the meal, and 120 min after the meal. Obtained basal ppbv values were mainly in accordance with previously reported, which confirms that MIMS instrument can be used in the breath analysis. Combining the quantified levels along with the information about the participants\uffe2\uff80\uff99 lifestyle habits collected via questionnaire, an assessment of the food and lifestyle impact was obtained. Notable alteration in examined VOC levels upon meal consumption was detected in more than 70% of all participants, with exception for isoprene, which was affected in about half of participants. Lifestyle parameters impact was examined using statistical analysis of variance (ANOVA) on ranks test. Statistically significant differences in basal breath VOC levels were observed among all examined population groups. Also, n-pentane and ethanol levels significantly differed in people of different ages, as well as acetone levels in people with different physical activity habits. These findings are promising for further, more focused research using MIMS technique in breath analysis.Although retrieving women's experience textually and ethnographically is pivotal for feminist theology, problematic assumptions are at work in the way feminist theologians undertake this task. Using feminist theological readings of Alice Walker's The Color Purple and the biblical story of Sarah and Hagar, this chapter illustrates how some attempts to retrieve women's experience textually actually result in eliding racial difference, silencing sexuality, and obscuring the nuances of women's agency and resistance practices. This chapter also discusses how some feminist scholars (e.g., mujerista theologian Ada Mar\uffc3\uffada Isasi-D\uffc3\uffadaz) are using ethnographic methods in order to find source material for theological reflection and to give voice to women in marginalized communities. The chapter addresses conflicts that have emerged regarding whether one can retrieve the standpoint of an oppressed community of women, unmediated by the feminist theologian's own agendas.Child welfare (CW) reforms have called for including family and youth voice. Yet, most initiatives have remained at individual levels, and research has rarely included youth, parent and professional voices simultaneously and equally. This study sought to integrate these perspectives and identify systems-level strategies that could reimagine CW. Using an arts-based method and thematic analysis, researchers investigated recommendations for policy and practice changes needed to transform CW to better support youth. Data were collected from individual and relational poems written by forty-one participants, including youth with foster care (FC) experience and CW professionals. Participants were located in a Midwestern state in the USA. Four themes were generated and several key findings were highlighted. First, results demonstrated relationship-building as central to supporting youth in FC. Secondly, participants described complex, fragmented and fluctuating views about the purpose of CW. Thirdly, strong emotions were commonly demonstrated by both youth and professionals. Fourthly, participants offered prescriptive actions needed to better support youth. Overall, this study indicates that CW should centre relationship-building, youth self-determination and practices that build resilience for youth and professionals. Findings also provide hope for transforming CW towards an accountable, family-centred, well-being system.In order to disentangle the currently confused interpretations and nomenclature of Merodon aureus and M. aeneus, we have reviewed all existing type material and species names known to us as assigned synonyms of these taxa. We resolve M. aeneus as being a junior synonym of M. aureus. We designate a lectotype for M. aureus and a neotype for M. aeneus. Additionally, we provide evidence that M. aureus, together with two newly discovered taxa (M. calidus sp. nov. and M. ortus sp. nov.), represent a complex of cryptic species named the M. aureus species complex. This complex, together with the M. unicolor species complex and the species M. pumilus, is part of the M. aureus subgroup. The M. unicolor species complex comprises two cryptic species: M. unicolor and M. albidus sp. nov. The new species are described by applying an integrative taxonomic approach using several data types (COI and 28S rRNA genes, geometric morphometry of the wings, ecological and distributional data). Based on the COI gene sequence analysis and distributional data, the pupa previously described as an immature stage of the species M. aureus is redefined as an immature stage of the new species M. calidus. Speciation within the M. aureus subgroup is discussed in the context of the phylogeographic history in the studied region.

Resource control over abundance, structure and functional diversity of soil microbial communities is a key determinant of soil processes and related ecosystem functioning. Copiotrophic organisms tend to be found in environments which are rich in nutrients, particularly carbon, in contrast to oligotrophs, which survive in much lower carbon concentrations.

We hypothesized that microbial biomass, activity and community structure in nutrient\uffe2\uff80\uff90poor soils of an Amazonian rain forest are limited by multiple elements in interaction. We tested this hypothesis with a fertilization experiment by adding C (as cellulose), N (as urea) and P (as phosphate) in all possible combinations to a total of 40 plots of an undisturbed tropical forest in French Guiana.

After 2\uffc2\uffa0years of fertilization, we measured a 47% higher biomass, a 21% increase in substrate\uffe2\uff80\uff90induced respiration rate and a 5\uffe2\uff80\uff90fold higher rate of decomposition of cellulose paper discs of soil microbial communities that grew in P\uffe2\uff80\uff90fertilized plots compared to plots without P fertilization. These responses were amplified with a simultaneous C fertilization suggesting P and C colimitation of soil micro\uffe2\uff80\uff90organisms at our study site.

Moreover, P fertilization modified microbial community structure (PLFAs) to a more copiotrophic bacterial community indicated by a significant decrease in the Gram\uffe2\uff80\uff90positive\uffc2\uffa0:\uffc2\uffa0Gram\uffe2\uff80\uff90negative ratio. The Fungi\uffc2\uffa0:\uffc2\uffa0Bacteria ratio increased in N fertilized plots, suggesting that fungi are relatively more limited by N than bacteria. Changes in microbial community structure did not affect rates of general processes such as glucose mineralization and cellulose paper decomposition. In contrast, community level physiological profiles under P fertilization combined with either C or N fertilization or both differed strongly from all other treatments, indicating functionally different microbial communities.

While P appears to be the most critical from the three major elements we manipulated, the strongest effects were observed in combination with either supplementary C or N addition in support of multiple element control on soil microbial functioning and community structure.

We conclude that the soil microbial community in the studied tropical rain forest and the processes it drives is finely tuned by the relative availability in C, N and P. Any shifts in the relative abundance of these key elements may affect spatial and temporal heterogeneity in microbial community structure, their associated functions and the dynamics of C and nutrients in tropical ecosystems.
