The security professionals are always talking about Emergency Plan, Emergency Preparedness, Emergency Response, Crisis Management, Crisis Management Plan, Business Continuity Management, Business Continuity Plan. etc. That is a question whichcomes to my mind do we know exactly what these phrases meanings are? My experiences show, usually we have different interpretations on the above mentioned expressions. Briefly we need to have an Emergency Plan to provide our Emergency Preparedness and to be able to take our Emergency Responses in case of a real Emergency situation. If we were able to eliminate the Emergency situation the problemhas been solved. If we had no success the Emergency can be develop a crisis situation which we need to manage by the Crisis Management Plan. As we are over the crisis we need to adopt our Business Continuity Plan to be able to manage our continuous operationor production. The aim of this study to providea useful tool or set up for security leaders on Crisis Management which is a clear security task and not as like Emergency Preparedness which is related to safety organization as Business Continuity is connected to each business functions.

Full textAbstract:
Currently, the principle of sustainable use of forests is a fundamental direction in the management of natural resources. Solving the problems of sustainable development of forestry in the European North involves ensuring the quality reproduction of forest resources. The main parts of silvicultural production are procurement and preparation of seeds; growing planting stock, creation of new stands and agricultural tending of them. The goal of the federal project “Forest Conservation” is to ensure the balance of forest felling and reproduction in the ratio of 100 % by 2024. The emphasis is on the use of ball-rooted planting stock for artificial reforestation. Information gap on the long-term prospects of its use, as well as the lack of data on the results of long-term observations of growth and condition of forest crops created by seedlings with a lump of substrate, and comparison of such seedlings with traditional planting stock, especially in northern conditions, update the topic of research. The research purpose is to identify conditions for obtaining high-quality planting stock, as well as to assess the possibility of successful restoration of pine on felling sites in the north of the European part of Russia by creating forest crops using regional intensive technologies, based on the results of long-term technologies. The main objects of observations are nurseries of the region, the procedures used in them and the experimental planting of pine trees in the Kargopol and Arkhangelsk forestries in 2000–2001. Preservation, diameter, height, and volume were determined in dynamics in the areas of crops created from various types of planting stock (seedlings, plantlet, ball-rooted planting stock). The counts were carried out with several repetitions and dividing plants into healthy, weak and dry. Wood flaws of pine trunks were also noted and natural regeneration was recorded. Based on the research materials, the possibility of successful restoration of pine trees on felling sites in the north of the European part of Russia is shown using regional intensive technologies for the production of various planting stock and the creation of forest crops. This will reduce the period of transfer of young trees to natural conditions and increase the productivity of plantations. Comparison of average diameters and heights for all accounting periods indicates the influence of the type of planting stock and density of planting on the growth and development of trees. During the observation period, plantlets lead in all respects. Their height and diameter is 20–44 % higher than that of yearling seedlings, and in terms of stem volume the difference with other types of planting stock reaches 1.9–2.9 times.

Industrial companies have always paid close attention to the continuity of production and technological processes. Technical and production risks, such as equipment damage, accidents, natural disasters can have a significant impact on production processes, lead to injury to people, environmental pollution. Managing these risks means investing substantial funds in upgrading, repairing and reconstructing assets. However, these investments have different economic effects. Proper prioritization of risks and measures for their management, based on the concept of risk-income, proposed in this article, can significantly improve the efficiency of risk management, reduce the degree of uncertainty, protect the organization from catastrophic damage.

The success of any organization is largely determined by the availability of sources of capital formation, the timely completion of the need for it. Maintaining the continuity of the production process, increasing its efficiency, expanding production and creating new types of activities make it necessary to finance additional capital requirements. Modern conditions exacerbate the problem of search and informed choice of sources of replenishment of capital, and their optimal ratio is becoming increasingly important for the organization.

Full textAbstract:
The demand for palm sugar is increasing since people prefer natural ingredients. Natural and organic food ingredients have the reputation of being healthier and safer than synthetic ingredients. This study will discuss one particular ingredient namely palm sugar which is known as a natural sweetener. Developed countries have started to import palm sugar as a natural sweetener from developing countries. The production of palm sugar in developing countries has an important benefit in the craftsman household economy. However, current production of palm sugar does not meet the increasing demand, which is caused mainly by the lack of farmers, palm sugar craftsmen’s inadequate knowledge of palm sugar production, and poor incorporation of technology both in the cultivation of palm tree and the production process of palm sugar. This literature review study aims to understand the continuity of palm sugar production within the following framework which consists of four steps: (1) identifying current situation, (2) identifying the problems, (3) presenting the resolution, (4) proposing programs and strategies. Based on this framework a few programs and strategies are generated to maintain the continuity of palm sugar production, they are: (1) Palm trees domestication, (2) research and development center for Indonesian palm sugar, and (3) ensuring a good collaboration among the stake holders involved.

Em um cenário de aumento de competitividade, crescente expectativa por inovações do produto e necessidade de atender diferentes perfis de consumidores, o conceito de gerenciamento de cadeias de suprimentos globais (GSCM) surge como uma estratégia para coordenar mais eficazmente as atividades dispersas geograficamente dos sistemas produtivos. Na adoção do GSCM, as organizações devem lidar com rupturas que impactam no gerenciamento das suas atividades, tais como a interrupção de vias de transporte, pane no fornecimento de energia, desastres naturais e até ataques terroristas. Nesse contexto, o trabalho introduz um procedimento sistematizado para modelagem das cadeias de suprimentos visto como um sistema a eventos discretos e sua análise por simulação das atividades do GSCM baseada em técnicas formais como a rede de Petri (PN) e o Production Flow Schema (PFS). Um exemplo é também apresentado para ilustrar e comprovar as vantagens do método proposto na análise do GSCM.<br>In a context of increasing competition, rising of expectations for product innovations and need to satisfy different consumer needs, the concept of global supply chain management (GSCM) emerges as a strategy to more efficiently coordinate the geographically dispersed activities of production systems. Adopting GSCM, organizations have to deal with external disruptions that impact management activities, such as transport interruption, power supply failure, natural disasters and terrorist attacks. In this way, a systematized procedure for modeling supply chains as a discrete event system and simulation analysis of GSCM activities based on formal techniques, such as Petri net (PN) and Production Flow Schema (PFS) is introduced. An example is also presented to illustrate and confirm the advantages of the proposed method for GSCM analysis.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract In various parts of the world, forest reserves are areas that support forests or systems of high forest value, meeting multiple objectives concerning both the production of goods through sustainable management and conservation of the ecosystem services those areas provide. This chapter presents the case of the Production Forest Reserves (PFR) in Tierra del Fuego, which are aimed at forest harvesting as well as the restoration of environments degraded by fires and valuation of the goods and services offered by the Fuegian forest landscapes. The implementation and monitoring of silvicultural practices, restoration, and vegetation surveys carried out by the General Directorate of Forestry (GDF) in cooperation with the scientific sector generate scientific and technical information to improve the management and sustainable use of the forest landscape. The PFRs also offer ideal sites for raising environmental awareness through educational tours, recreation, and low-impact tourism for visitors as well as other activities with the local communities. The enabling of different uses within the PFRs aims to promote the continuity of productive forest landscapes and their biodiversity in space and time.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractAn innovative approach towards transformative change through multi-stakeholder participation for socio-ecological practices—Integrated Local Delivery (ILD)—has been used to restore the water quality and biodiversity across a catchment in the Cotswolds, South West England. This was triggered by the need to improve the Ecological Status of water as a part of the European Union’s Water Framework Directive. On a landscape scale of roughly 25,000 hectares, multi-stakeholders collaborated through a bottom-up approach to carry out environmental restoration of the catchment.Over 3 years, an iterative learning loop of reflection and evolution created increased engagement. Twenty farmers have been empowered as ‘guardians’ to be key contacts between institutions and ensure the sustained environmental quality of the area. Both farmers and communities acted to reduce chemical use, protect river banks from livestock damage and clear waterways to enhance water quality and biodiversity. Local communities fed into the development of a ‘Community Water Guide’ which can be applied internationally for similar projects. Within the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) transformative change framework, the ILD model can also be applied by facilitators to access levers and leverage points in order to enable change.Important take home messages from the project include having well-trained facilitators who ensure active engagement, connections and continuity over the long term. Likewise, ensuring all stakeholders feel listened to and clearly communicated with is essential to build trust and motivation.

Full textAbstract:
Drought is a significant natural disaster that seriously impacts agriculture and is becoming an increasingly prevalent issue worldwide. The effects of this disaster on agriculture present severe challenges both in terms of productivity and agricultural sustainability. Consequently, adaptation measures to combat drought are of great importance. Drought can cause significant yield losses in agricultural production. The reduction or depletion of water resources leads to water stress in plants, adversely affecting their growth and productivity. Particularly during drought periods, limited irrigation opportunities exacerbate drought stress on agricultural lands. This situation results in quality loss in agricultural products, decreased productivity, and reduced harvest quantities. Drought also negatively impacts soil health. Decreased moisture levels can lead to soil structure degradation and increased erosion risk. Erosion reduces the productivity of agricultural lands, causing long-term sustainability issues in agricultural production. Adaptation measures to combat drought can help increase the resilience of the agricultural sector and make it more resistant to drought stress. These measures include water management, improved irrigation techniques, the use of drought-tolerant crop varieties, soil management practices, and agricultural policies that support climate change adaptation. Especially during drought periods, the efficient use and conservation of water resources are critical to ensuring the continuity of agriculture. Technological advancements that enhance water efficiency and irrigation systems that better manage the water cycle can help agriculture cope more effectively with drought. In conclusion, the ability of the agricultural sector to adapt to drought is of great importance. Efforts in areas such as the conservation of water resources, soil management, crop diversity, and technological innovations can contribute to making agriculture more resilient to natural disasters like drought. This, in turn, can strengthen food security and agricultural sustainability on more solid foundations. This study discusses the negative effects of drought on agriculture and adaptation strategies that can minimize these effects. It focuses on necessary precautions, implementation methods, steps to be taken, and policies to be developed. Additionally, it emphasizes the need for adaptation strategies to combat drought.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Data replication is one of many data protection methods that help data centers prevent business disruptions. It copies stored data to a remote or local system. It enhances redundancy if the main storage backup system fails. It reduces system failure downtime and facilitates natural disasters and human mistake recovery. This paper discusses how to establish advanced file remote replication and store the same dataset on different computers for data protection and content dissemination. Customers can restore data access in DR arrays in case of primary production storage array failure. A user-friendly interface lets Unushered management console users manage data. Advanced replication solutions optimize a single file resource to replicate to multiple target systems to improve data security, disaster recovery, and availability. Advanced replication technologies are better for enterprises with critical data needs, high data availability, and complex IT infrastructures because they are more robust and feature rich. These technologies assist current data management techniques to protect data and preserve business continuity during disruptions or disasters. This research will assist unity storage administrators in configure and troubleshooting Advanced File Replication.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the phase of the advancement of conservation as a science and process, defined as Conservation 3.0, conservation of historic environments is observed as a source for development and shall be envisaged as a production factor, and as investments that are anticipated to be central to the returns in the future (Ost 2009). In line with that, an enlarged significance has been determined in evaluating social environmental and economic spillover effects of cultural heritage that could be understood as a vector with focus on development and continuity (Janssen et al. 2017). This indicates that the consequence, or the spillover effects, from investing in cultural heritage are comprehended as contributors to sustainable development and are used as starting points for planning the priorities for cultural heritage management (Gustafsson 2019). The importance for the cultural heritage sector is no longer solely on preservation and protection- to be able to identify new actions to take place in historic buildings has become more essential. Adaptive re-use is defined as “any building work and intervention aimed at changing its capacity, function or performance to adjust, reuse or upgrade a building to suit new conditions or requirements” (Douglas 2006). These activities and actions are expected to bring spilovers at the regional level.

Full textAbstract:
We consider the practical difficulties faced by Moorcroft in his first year at the new factory, built to a tight budget and at high speed. The move to full production was inevitably slow, and the consequential financial pressures were compounded by continuing disputes with Watkin about the market value of stock which Moorcroft bought from Macintyre’s. Drawing on contemporary documents and ledgers, we examine the design of the new works and its informed compliance with the ‘Regulations for the Manufacture and Decoration of Pottery’, enacted in 1913. Its distinctiveness, though, lay not just its compliance, but in its working environment, quite different from both industrial manufactories and smaller-scale art potteries. Closer to a studio, it was defined and energised by Moorcroft himself, who played an active role in all aspects of design and production, management and marketing, supported in this by his wife, Florence Lovibond, one of the first Women Factory Inspectors. This unique atmosphere was immediately noticed by reviewers, and written about in terms which implicitly linked it to the Arts and Crafts movement. We contrast it with Fry’s Omega Workshops, another variant on the Morris legacy, established at the same time. Moorcroft’s enterprise is seen to be both more personal and less exclusive, with a mission to create an ‘everyday art’ for more than a select few.

This chapter examines the controlling function of management. It begins by providing an overview of the types of control and an explanation of its necessity. It analyses the management control system and the different types and levels of control in the context of different organisational settings. The focus of analysis is on issues of production and quality, human resources, and finance. Total Quality Management (TQM) is discussed since the issue of quality is one that has gained in prominence in recent decades. The chapter presents control systems for both strategic (long-term) and operational (short-term) objectives, as well as control mechanisms to ensure business continuity in the face of threats such as natural disasters, terrorism, or reputational damage. It concludes with an outline of the key characteristics of an effective control system.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Forests can provide important nature-based solutions to climate change by retaining and sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But they will also have to adapt to the inevitable consequences of a warming atmosphere, which will threaten the health, productivity, and stability of many forest regions. In protected areas and most multipurpose forests, maintaining a continuity of species and habitats over time and space will facilitate the inherent capacity of ecosystems to adjust through dispersal and adaptive filtering. Prioritizing high-carbon reservoirs (old-growth forests, peatlands) for protection, especially in locations expected to persist under a changing climate, can support both climate mitigation and biodiversity conservation. Ecosystem transformations in response to the changing climate may be acceptable, although domination by invasive exotic species is generally undesirable. Tree-species diversification has many benefits in all forests. Stand thinning likewise has broad utility in reducing moisture stress, improving habitat value, and reducing wildfire risk. Artificial regeneration in both multiple-use and production forests can practice climate-smart forestry by utilizing source materials (seeds, seedlings, cuttings) from locations currently experiencing climate expected to prevail locally in the future. Assisted migration of species as well as populations is also an option, especially in production forests. Using tree species to be harvested on short rotations or having more assured regeneration through vegetative sprouting are risk-reduction strategies for timber-production lands. A combination or gradient of resilience strategies can be applied in most forests, depending on local conditions and thresholds of acceptable change expressed by stakeholders.

Full textAbstract:
Camels are vital to the daily life of all desert dwellers, especially Bedouins, for whom they form a source of food, a means of transportation and recreation. To appreciate the unique contribution that Arabian camels make towards the community life and the history of the desert lands, in this paper, the pastoral production systems observed across three major regions - Butana, Kordofan and Darfur - are discussed. The field survey based study was conducted from August 2011 to May 2014 using structured interview method to determine the limitations and challenges faced by camel pastoral community in main camel production regions of Sudan. The results revealed that the average of calving interval was 30 months; male camel is rutting for 3 months during rainy season. She-camel gives birth to 6-8 calves throughout the life. The average milk yield was 3 liters per day with the lactation period extended to more than 10 months. The calf is weaned for 10 months or more. Social prestige and continuity of traditional heritage are the major reasons for keeping animals rather than economic revenue. However, it was found that the security issues are limiting camel breeding practices and pastoralists’ movement in the semi-desert and mountain regions. Internal conflicts between farmers and pastoralists that often develop into tribal wars also affected pastoral production systems. Such constraints in addition to the lack of government support and favorable policies present major challenges to camel pastoral system in the region.

The Colombian coffee that grows in the mountainous coffee zone, due to its qualities such as its clean rate, acidity, aroma, softness, and body, continues to have a representative share in the market. In this way, the intervention of the state has been necessary so that the sector can have sufficient income both to satisfy its basic survival needs and to guarantee the continuity of production. In this chapter, the impact of the own investment and economic support policies formulated by the Colombian government on the financial flow of the coffee farmers was evaluated through a systems dynamics model. To achieve this objective, the current conditions of the Colombian coffee sector were studied, the supply chain was modeled with systems dynamics, and scenarios were simulated alluding to the policies evaluated.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Additive manufacturing is an advanced manufacturing method where parts get manufactured by joining materials to make objects from 3D model data. The 3D printer stacks layer upon layer of material to form the final object, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies. 3D printing brings value to businesses by addressing many operational challenges: enabling the production of obsolete parts that are no longer produced by the original manufacturer, reducing the lead time significantly and returning critical equipment back in operation in very short time frame. The process of 3D Printing is kicked-off with part identification where the application feasibility is studied and approved, followed by reverse engineering of the part, which is done either by using a 3D scanner or by manually taking the measurement, and then using an advanced design software to develop the digital replica. In the following step, Finite Element Analysis simulates all the boundary conditions the part is subjected to in real life. The process ends with the manufacturing, or 3D printing, of the part. 3D printing adds great value to supply chain management, by reducing the need to store significant stock-piles of specific assets and replace it with digitalization of inventory. 3D Printing can also be approached from a contingency plan perspective to tackle events where unpredictable failure is a concern, and used to solve corrosion challenges by 3D printing high performance nonmetallic parts or expediting the production of spare parts to ensure operational continuity. 3D printing also adds value by addressing many operational challenges and enabling significant lead time reduction and cost savings. The flexibility of the 3D Printing process can make it appealing for instances of T&I of Oil & Gas facilities where unplanned maintenance and repair may be necessary to certain equipment, and urgent requests for replacement are difficult to meet from a time perspective leading to potential delays and missing deadlines of T&I.

Abstract This paper presents a systemic approach using Engineering and analytics methods to avail the fastest and safest responses to recovering business operations after Abqaiq Plants major disruption after the 2019 September 14th incident. This new approach using value and agile engineering, risk management methodologies combined with the business continuity model suggested was successfully applied to recover Abqaiq Plants Operations after catastrophic events occurred. This paper pretends to serve as example about how the business continuity plan should response to a major emergency and how this planning activity could be effectively supported using a Value Oriented Engineering Solutions (VOES). This VOES approach is based on Business continuity framework and adapted for use during emergency situations to generate effective and urgent responses to recover one of the most strategical operations in the Oil and Gas Industry worldwide ahead of the last year significant disruption. VOES approach vastly implemented during Abqaiq Plants Restoration allowed a 100% functional recovery on 9 days, 5 days in advance to the most optimistic scenario. This paper shows a case study implemented for major instrumentation and electrical equipment activities performed in UA Spheroids plant, one of the most affected area and responsible to process the 100% of the Abqaiq Plants Oil Production rate. This paper pretends to contribute with the research and practice on business continuity management. Considering a particular approach to BCM, incorporating value-oriented engineering solutions in the developing of continuity plans; we apply model-based techniques to provide quality assurance in the elaboration process, and to automate the generation/update of a BCP. On the practical side, this study converts Operational, Maintenance, Safety and Reliability perspectives in a holistic view provided from Engineering solutions responsible to generate the guidelines for an agile, effective and realizable recovery plan.

Abstract Integrated model projects underscore an organizations ability to fully enhance efficiency and unlock production potential. This paper provides a change management framework for key knowledge areas of an IAM implementation, in a giant onshore field to ensure these projects maintain an organizational and operational continuity toward improving production surveillance and optimization. Benefits of linking subsurface performance to surface facilities delivered use cases possible through a well-defined organizational structure and vendor management techniques post deployment. Leveraging project implementation guidelines, working sessions for project sustainability captured all activities required to assure project continuity with maximum utilization. Processes for construction, calibration and network updates were outlined in the organizations new RACI and supported by well-defined quick reference user guides. Decision workflows for validation of pressure and rate data underpinned the value creation through the IAM. Knowledge sharing sessions were linked to a competency development plan for performance audits as IAM activities became routed in routine work. A guided on-site support with vendor as well as the establishment of a support portal ensured time-bound issue resolutions. A large IAM project implementation, involving stakeholders from multiple disciplines and teams, offers unique challenges such as resource-allocation, schedule-optimization, communication-mechanism-identification, change-management, project-document-configuration management, and vendor-management. The innovative user-reference-guide optimized time and enhanced efficiency of the engineers by more than 30%. Standardized process aligned to integrated reservoir management principles reduced the extent of variability in analyses, underscoring continuity of work. Improved data and model quality enhanced the unit's ability to support production evaluations in field operations. In the areas of cost-optimization and process improvements, the project has generated more than 10 value-cases. The project management approach discussed here facilitated the tasks of the newly formed production optimization team. Standardized engineering processes and well-defined tasks support major business objectives, such as well-health optimization, process-standardization, and talent-development. Clearly defined roles and accountabilities assisted the smooth transition and change-management, adopting a new way of working. For example, technical rate determination through the IAM is standardized. Support utilities established for the project are easily accessed with a version-control system for all engineers. In conclusion, the Production Optimization team's core ability to unlock hidden production potential has significantly improved. Integrated asset models are driving the decision-making process for field development and operation teams. This paper summarizes the lesson learnt over three years and provides a concept-skeleton that can be successfully replicated for other projects.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Avoiding an offshore COVID-19 outbreak while executing an urgent and intricate pipeline repair campaign is a significant challenge, especially in a country that is experiencing a COVID-19 positivity rate of more than 20% on daily basis. Any minor mismanagement of health management on the DSV (diving support vessel) may lead to a COVID-19 outbreak with the risk of shutting down the campaign and significantly impacting the business continuity objectives. Therefore, the major health management challenge is to avoid a COVID-19 outbreak on the DSV to ensure the well-being of personnel during campaign and to achieve the necessary pipeline repair. The approach taken was to deploy the DSV with team and tools/equipment as soon as possible to avoid a prolonged platform shutdown due to the pipeline leak event. In order to carry out the project, a detailed risk assessment taking account of medical, logistics and security considerations was undertaken in order avoid a COVID-19 outbreak on the vessel. The risk assessment enabled an adjustment to the quarantine requirements for the pipeline repair team before departure to the work location. A contingency plan was also developed to manage a scenario in which a member of the offshore team was infected with COVID-19, and in order to comply with applicable government regulation. Through the effective implementation of a detailed risk assessment, the company was able to complete the pipeline repair campaign without any offshore COVID-19 outbreaks. On the DSV there were 65 personnel working on multiple activities to execute the pipeline repair works on time and on budget. The site team made a diligent effort to follow the mitigations identified in the risk assessment, under the direction of company Business Continuity Management Team (BCMT). As a result of this effort, the company was able to resume production from the offshore platform in a timely manner. This paper discusses the effective implementation of detailed risk assessment on a DSV as part of company business continuity management amid COVID-19 pandemic in the country, including medical, logistics and security considerations. This project was implemented in a year-end period, beyond normal conditions and in a tight schedule.

Financial expenses for printed newspapers are becoming increasingly significant due to declining circulation and rising costs of printing and distribution. During the COVID-19 period, the newspaper and all print media faced a deepening crisis that has been threatening the entire newspaper industry for several years. The COVID times are over, but the crisis in the newspaper industry is not. This was followed by a paper shortage, leading to price increases. Initially, the price of paper rose due to excessive demand, and soon after, there was an increase in energy costs, which significantly impacted paper production. The advertising market changes daily and migrates to various platforms. The media world is transforming at an unprecedented speed driven by technological innovations. Readers remain loyal to the printed newspaper, but continuity is becoming an increasing challenge. New generations are coming that follow the news digitally. What future awaits the print media industry?

Abstract Numerical simulators became a standard tool to integrate all the dynamic and static data and the outcome along with the right analysis techniques and experience they are extensively used for decision-making, particularly in field development planning. These tools offer the ability to consider a wide range of control parameters, model complexity, and subsurface uncertainties. In the light of the challenges posed by the Gullfaks oil field, including complex geological structures, a dense fault pattern, and significant reservoir quality variations, this study introduces the application of integrated subsurface technologies to formulate a robust conceptual model. This integrated study explores multiple development strategies by combining all the information on geology, petrophysics/ formation evaluation, and reservoir continuity. We specifically focus on investigating water-flood management, production enhancement, and maximization of hydrocarbon recovery.

Full textAbstract:
For many decades in Tunisia, there has been a robust link between natural resource management and contentious national and local politics. These disputes manifest in the form of protests, sit-ins, the disruption of production and distribution and legal suits on the one hand, and corporate and government response using coercive and concessionary measures on the other. Residents of resource-rich areas and their allies protest the inequitable distribution of their local natural wealth and the degradation of their health, land, water, soil and air. They contest a dynamic that tends to bring greater benefit to Tunisia’s coastal metropolitan areas. Natural resource exploitation is also a source of livelihoods and the contentious politics around them have, at times, led to somewhat more equitable relationships. The most important actors in these contentious politics include citizens, activists, local NGOs, local and national government, international commercial interests, international NGOs and multilateral organisations. These politics fit into wider and very longstanding patterns of wealth distribution in Tunisia and were part of the popular alienation that drove the uprising of 2011. In many ways, the dynamic of the contentious politics is fundamentally unchanged since prior to the uprising and protests have taken place within the same month of writing of this paper. Looking onto this scene, commentators use the frame of margins versus centre (‘marginalization’), and also apply the lens of labour versus capital. If this latter lens is applied, not only is there continuity from prior to 2011, there is continuity with the colonial era when natural resource extraction was first industrialised and internationalised. In these ways, the management of Tunisia’s natural wealth is a significant part of the country’s serious political and economic challenges, making it a major factor in the street politics unfolding at the time of writing.

Full textAbstract:
Big Thicket National Preserve (BITH) is an ecologically distinct, biodiversity-rich area. However, rapid development surrounds the preserve, and most areas within BITH are subject to continued oil and gas production and transportation and are subject to potential visitor impacts on natural resources. Future management planning requires an understanding of the locations of the 11 species of bats in the park, especially the roost locations of two species of conservation concern: Rafinesque’s big-eared bat (Corynorhinus rafinesquii) and southeastern bat (Myotis austroriparius). Following the North American Bat Monitoring Program protocols, we used passive acoustic monitoring to survey for bat species presence with twelve detectors recording from May to July 2023. We also captured bats to radio-track our focal species to their roost locations. We confirmed the presence of 11 bat species within BITH. We tracked two male Rafinesque’s big-eared bats and identified three roost cavities among three species of trees. These results mark the beginning of a longer-term monitoring program to inform restoration and resource management within the longleaf pine savannah and forested wetlands of BITH. Continuing to build our understanding of roosting sites will allow us to determine whether roosting sites are a limiting factor for local populations and whether mitigation is needed.

Full textAbstract:
Harmful algal blooms (HABs) and coastal hypoxic zones are evidence of cultural nutrient enrichment affecting public health and water supplies, aquatic ecosystem health, and economic well-being in the United States. Recognition of the far-reaching impacts of Midwest agriculture has led to establishing nutrient reduction objectives for surface waters feeding the Gulf of Mexico, Lake Erie, and many smaller water bodies. Municipal nutrient enrichment impacts have been addressed by increasing levels of sewage treatment and waste management through the Clean Water Act era, but HABs rebounded in the 1990s because of non-point source nutrient enrichment. HAB control and treatment includes watershed and waterbody treatments to reduce loading and address outbreaks. Systems to remove nutrients from impaired waters are expensive to build and operate. This review of algal production systems summarizes emerging algal water treatment technologies and considers their potential to effectively sequester nutrients and atmospheric carbon from hundreds of eutrophic reservoirs and DoD wastewater treatment facilities while producing useful biomass feedstock using solar energy. Algal water treatment systems including open ponds, photobioreactors, and algal turf scrubbers® can be used to grow biomass for biofuel, wastewater treatment, and commercial products. This review recommends continuing research on surface water nutrient reduction potential with algal turf scrubber productivity pilot studies, preliminary site design, and biomass utilization investigations.
