Full textAbstract:
The spinning red-and-white pole outside Pat’s Barber Shop on D’Arcy Street in Toronto carries all the promise of a “clean cut“ — flat-top, military cut or shave with a straight-edge razor — fast and cheap. Inside Pat’s shop, there is more talcum powder than oxygen, and the mise en scène, consisting of yellowed walls, worn chairs and a hat rack, appears like a deteriorating illusion nesting among city hospitals, university buildings and trendy restaurants. It is precisely this incongruous setting of small-town coiffeur and modernist architecture that first attracted Bluemouth Inc., an interdisciplinary, site-specific theatre collective based in Toronto and New York City, to mount their March 2005 production, American Standard, in Pat’s Barber Shop. Unfortunately, the shop’s landlord did not share the collective’s enthusiasm for turning a men’s grooming business into a performance site and abruptly denied them the use of the store one week before the production was scheduled to open. “It’s not uncommon for us to lose a space at the last minute,“ says core member and composer, Richard Windeyer (Personal interview). Fortunately, Zero Gravity Circus, an east-end movie theatre turned circus rehearsal hall, was made available to the collective, and spectators were bused from the original D’Arcy Street location to a simulated version of Pat’s Barber Shop that consisted of a lone barber chair, multimedia and some masking tape.

Full textAbstract:
The name of the town, Jangsan-gun (Gyeongsan-si), was officially given in 757. In 927, at the Battle of Gongsan Dongsu, Wang Geon was defeated by Gyeon Hwon of the Later Baekje. However, the residents of Gyeongsan cooperated with Goryeo. As a reward, Wang Geon changed the name of Jangsan-gun to a better meaning. Jangsan-gun (Jangsanseong) does not know its exact location. However, it was revealed that the site of Gyeongsan City Hall during the Joseon Dynasty was the seat of the Goryeo Dynasty. It was also analyzed that this place would be the site of Jangsan Fortress. The transition of Gun-hyeon of Jangsan-gun of Goryeo began with the Taejo period. Jangsan-gun was transferred to Donggyeong Yusugwan Gyeongju in February 1018 (9th year of King Hyeonjong). In 1172 (the 2nd year of King Myeongjong), Gammu was dispatched. When King Chungseon took the throne, Jangsan-gun was changed to Gyeongsan-hyeon to avoid the king's name. This was December 1308. In 1317 (4th year of King Chungsuk), Gyeongsan-hyeon was said to be the hometown of Il-yeon and became Gyeongsanhyeonryeonggwan. In 1390 (2nd year of King Gongyang), it was elevated to Gyeong san-g un as it was said to be the hometown of King Gongyang's queen.

The debate surrounding what has been termed in the literature as relocation stress, transplantation shock, transfer trauma, and pure relocation effect has fuelled academic interest and research over the last half century. Coffman’s review of both published and unpublished data on 26 groups of relocated individuals highlights the breadth of equivocal evidence of mortality post-relocation. Although his review found no general relocation effect, research on the effects of relocation are still found to be ambiguous and contradictory, and its causative or other link to physical and mental health and mortality measures are unclear. In the United States there have even been legal moves (i.e. O’Bannon v. Town Court Nursing Center, Inc.) to persuade courts that relocation ‘should be a legally recognized phenomenon invoking judicial protection against transfer.’

Full textAbstract:
Owen Barfield's This Ever Diverse Pair (1950) is a short novel about a poet-solicitor who has torn his consciousness in two. Burden, the practical half, begrudgingly attends to paperwork; Burgeon, the creative half, hides away and writes poetry. From Walter de la Mare to the present, readers of the text have tended to identify Barfield exclusively with Burgeon. And yet if we interrogate Burgeon's digressions on the nature of art, we find that this allegedly Barfieldian half is more often used as a mouthpiece for theories manifestly antithetical to Barfield's own. This article explores an alternative reading in which Burgeon and Burden are the respective embodiments of Coleridge's faculties of imagination and fancy. Barfield's aim in writing the book is, accordingly, not to purge the Burden in us; rather, it is to offer a narrative apology for Coleridge's model, to demonstrate the ‘polar’ relationship which underlies all acts of the imagination.

Full textAbstract:
BACKGROUNDEpisiotomy was first suggested about two centuries back to prevent perineal tear as well as a fetal head injury. However, there have been controversies about its benefits over its side effects. The magnitude of episiotomy varies across the world. No study was conducted in the study area. This study was aimed at assessing the magnitude and factors associated with episiotomy at public health institutions.SUBJECTS AND METHODSInstitutional-based cross-sectional study design was employed in four public health institutions in Hosaena Town. Data were collected through interviews administered structured questionnaires and supplemented with maternal chart review and anthropometric measurement from May 1st to June 30th, 2019. Study participants were selected using a systematic random sampling technique. EpiData 3.02 and SPSS version 21 software were used for data entry, and analysis, respectively. Descriptive statistics, bivariate and multivariable logistic regression analysis were done. Variables at p-value < 0.2 were transferred to multivariable logistic regression analysis. Then variables at p-value <0.05with 95% CI were considered as statistically significant and AOR was used to interpret factors associated with episiotomy. Tables and graphs have been used to present the results.RESULTSA total of 410 delivered mothers were included in the study and the magnitude of episiotomy was 57.6%with a mean of 95% CI = 0.53–0.63.Being primiparous (AOR = 16.96, 95% CI: 9.26, 31.05), meconium-stained amniotic fluid (AOR = 3.82, 95% CI: 1.84, 7.96), Second stage of labor lasting more than 2 hours (AOR = 2.43, 95% CI: 1.11, 5.32), births attended by non-midwife professionals (AOR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.24, 4.14) and newborns head circumference >35 cm (AOR = 5.73, 95% CI: 3.29, 10.00) were factors significantly associated with episiotomy.CONCLUSIONSEpisiotomy was performed in more than half of the mothers included in the study. All the responsible bodies from the administrative to clinical practitioners should be in action to lower the magnitude of episiotomy by assuring that it is practiced restrictively with scientific indications.

The G-48 System Safety Committee sponsored a Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) and Software System Safety (SSS) workshop, hosted by A-P-T Research, Inc. (APT) in Huntsville, Alabama, on May 2-3, 2017. The idea of this workshop evolved at the 34th International System Safety Conference (ISSC) in Orlando, Florida, during presentations and a paper by Barry Hendrix, which noted that the MBSE needs to include more system safety and software system safety processes. An action recorded under urgent-need topics by International System Safety Society (ISSS) Fellow Dave West at the G-48 meeting in Orlando resulted in volunteers to host and coordinate the workshop.
 The MBSE SSS workshop consisted of a panel of seven subject matter experts. Approximately 40 attendees were present and more than 70 people viewed the workshop via a NASA live video streaming feed. The MBSE SSS panel consisted of Barry Hendrix, APT; Dr. Fayssal Safie, APT; Dr. Donna Havrisik, Government Agency System Engineering; Josh McNeil, AMRDEC Software Engineering Directorate (SED); David Arterburn, University of Alabama Huntsville; Joe Hale, NASA; and Paul Gill, NASA. Many attendees were from local Redstone Arsenal agencies, such as AMCOM, PEO Missiles & Space, and the Missile Defense Agency. Several contractors from companies within Cummings Research Park also attended. Special out-of-town guests included Peggy Rogers, U.S. Navy Software System Safety Technical Review Panel (SSTRP); Bob McAlister, U.S. Air Force; and Lynece Pfledderer, Lockheed Martin (LM), along with five other LM attendees from Texas, Florida and Connecticut.

Full textAbstract:
Background:Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is characterized by cranial symptoms and large-vessel lesions (LVL) in the aorta or its branches. We retrospectively analyzed the Japanese patients newly diagnosed as GCA between 2007 and 2014, and subsequently treated with glucocorticoid (GC). The imaging studies revealed that LVLs were observed in approximately half of the GCA patients, and the LVLs were significantly associated with the increased probability of poor treatment outcomes (1).Objectives:The objective of this study is to evaluate whether the distribution of LVLs of GCA was associated with poor treatment response.Methods:In a retrospective, multi-centric, nationwide registry of GCA patients treated with GCs between 2007 and 2014, 68 newly-diagnosed GCA with LVLs by imaging were detected. All investigators were members of Japan Research Committee of the Ministry of Health, Labour, and Welfare for Intractable Vasculitis (JPVAS). Poor treatment outcomes (non-achievement of clinical remission by week 24 or relapse during 104 weeks) were primarily evaluated. Cumulative rates and median time to the first event were analyzed by the Kaplan-Meier method and the log-rank test. Associated factors with the outcomes were analyzed by using the Cox proportional hazard model.Results:The mean age was 70.5 years, and 70.6% were women. Twenty-seven (39.7%) of the 68 patients were diagnosed as having GCA by both positive temporal artery biopsy and positive imaging, and 41 (60.3%) by positive imaging. Aortic lesions were detected in 72.1% (group 2, n=49) of the 68 GCA patients with LVLs. Patients without aortic lesions were categorized into two phenotypes: large-vessel GCA with subclavian lesions (group 1, n=9) and atypical large-vessel GCA without subclavian lesions (group 3, n=10). Cranial lesions were observed in 66.7%, 55.1%, and 80.0% in the group 1, 2, and 3, respectively. The initial mean dose (SD) of prednisolone was 0.74 (0.26) mg/kg/day, and 20.6 % received methotrexate for remission induction therapy. Baseline dose of GCs and mean time to achievement of low-dose GCs (prednisolone ≤ 5 mg/day) was not significantly different among the three groups.Overall, 35 (51.5%) of the 68 patients had the event of poor treatment outcomes. Eleven patients were not able to achieve clinical remission by week 24. Relapse after achievement of clinical remission was reported in total of 24 patients; 9 between week 0 and 24, 12 between week 24 and 52, 3 between week 52 and 104. The cumulative rate of events of poor treatment outcomes over the two years was 11.1% in patients with group 1, 55.3% in those with group 2, and 88.0% in those with group 3. Mean time to events was significantly different among the three groups. Multivariable analysis showed the risk of poor treatment outcomes was likely to decrease in the group 1 (hazard ratio 0.14 [95% CI 0.02-1.03], p=0.054), while it increased in the group 3 (hazard ratio 2.22 [95% CI 1.06-4.68], p=0.035).Conclusion:The distribution of LVLs were associated with poorer treatment outcomes. A half of the patients with aortic lesions had poor treatment outcomes while subclavian arteritis without aortic lesions had better clinical outcomes. Atypical large vessel-GCA without the aortic and subclavian artery involvement was the worst prognostic phenotype of LV-GCA. Extent of LVLs by imaging should be considered when determining the treatment strategy for GCA.References:[1]Sugihara T, et al.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose Of the leading types of cancer in women, breast cancer presents with the highest number of cases and is the leading cause of cancer death in less developed countries. Despite the promising positive impact of the Internet on breast cancer awareness, there is a paucity of information on the effect of Internet access on breast cancer knowledge in Nigeria. Therefore, the aim of this study was to determine the effect of Internet access on breast cancer knowledge and the perceived benefit of breast self-examination among adults residing in Akure Town, Ondo State, Nigeria. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional study design was used to determine the effect of access to the Internet on breast cancer knowledge and the perceived benefit of breast self-examination among Akure residents. The study was conducted in 295 men and women age 18 to 60 years residing in Akure who were selected using a systematic sampling technique. A telephone survey was used to collect data. Simple frequency distribution was used to describe the data, and bivariable logistic regression was used to test the association between variables. Results Almost all adults residing in Akure are aware of breast cancer and more than one half have a good knowledge of the disease. Although more than one half of the study population was found to have a good knowledge of breast cancer, most adults do not have knowledge of the risk factors of breast cancer. Nearly 97% of the 84% of participants who have ever conducted breast self-examination does so at least once in a month. Adults residing in Akure who have access to the Internet were more than two times more likely to have a good knowledge of breast cancer compared with their counterparts with no Internet access. Conclusion Knowledge of breast cancer is above average among Akure adults; however, more than one half of the adult populace in Akure still lacks adequate knowledge of the risk factors of breast cancer. Breast cancer awareness programs that are targeted at Akure residents should emphasize breast cancer risk factors and use the platform provided by the Internet.

Abstract Introduction Over the past two decades, Tanzania’s burden of non-communicable diseases has grown disproportionately, but limited resources are still prioritized. A trained human resource for health is urgently needed to combat these diseases. However, continuous medical education for NCDs is scarce. This paper reports on the mid-level healthcare workers knowledge on NCDs. We assessed the knowledge to measure the effectiveness of the training conducted during the initiation of a Package for Essential Management of Severe NCDs (PEN Plus) in rural district hospitals in Tanzania. Methods The training was given to 48 healthcare employees from Dodoma Region’s Kondoa Town Council District Hospital. For a total of five (5) days, a fundamental course on NCDs featured in-depth interactive lectures and practical workshops. Physicians from Tanzania’s higher education institutions, tertiary university hospitals, research institutes, and medical organizations served as trainers. Before and after the training, a knowledge assessment comprising 28 questions was administered. Descriptive data analysis to describe the characteristics of the specific knowledge on physiology, diagnosis and therapy of diabetes mellitus, rheumatic fever, heart disease, and sickle cell disease was done using Stata version 17 (STATA Corp Inc., TX, USA). Results Complete assessment data for 42 out of the 48 participants was available. Six participants did not complete the training and the assessment. The mean age of participants was 36.9 years, and slightly above half (52%) were above 35 years. Two-thirds (61.9%) were female, and about half (45%) were nurses. The majority had the experience of working for more than 5 years, and the average was 9.4 years (+/- 8.4 years). Overall, the trainees’ average scores improved after the training (12.79 vs. 16.05, p < 0.0001) out of 28 possible scores. Specifically, trainees’ average scores were better in treatment than in diagnosis, except for sickle cell disease (1.26 vs. 1.83). Most were not able to diagnose rheumatic heart disease (47.6% able) compared to diabetes mellitus (54.8% able) or sickle cell disease (64.3% able) at baseline. The proportion of trainees with adequate knowledge of the treatment of sickle cell disease and diabetes mellitus was 35% and 38.1%, respectively, and there was a non-statistical difference after training. Those working for less than 5 years had a higher proportion of adequate knowledge (30.8%) compared to their more experienced colleagues (6.9%). After the training, participants’ knowledge of NCDs increased by three times (i.e., aPR 3, 95% CI = 1.1, 1.5, and 6.0). Conclusion and recommendations PEN Plus training improved the knowledge of healthcare workers at Kondoa Town Council District Hospital. Training is especially needed among nurses and those with a longer duration of work. Continuing education for human resources for health on the management of NCDs is highly recommended in this setting.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Recent earthquakes have demonstrated that despite the continuous developments of novel materials and new strengthening techniques, the majority of the existing structures are still unprotected and at high seismic risk. The repair and strengthening framework is a complex process and there are often barriers in the preventative upgrade of the existing structures related to the cost of the applications and the limited expertise of the engineers. The engineers need to consider various options thoroughly and the selection of the appropriate strategy is a crucial parameter for the success of these applications.</p><p>The main aim of this collection is to present a number of different approaches applied to a wide range of structures with different characteristics and demands acting as a practical guide for the main repair and strengthening approaches used worldwide. This document contains a collection of nine case studies from six different countries with different seismicity (i.e. Austria, Greece, Italy, Mexico, Nepal and New Zealand). Various types of structures have been selected with different structural peculiarities such as buildings used for different purposes (i.e. school buildings, town hall, 30 storey office tower), a bridge, and a wharf. Most of the examined structures are Reinforced Concrete structures while there is also an application on a Masonry building. For each of the examined studies, the local conditions are described followed by the main deficiencies which are addressed. The methods used for the assessment of the in-situ conditions also presented and alternative strategies for the repair and strengthening are considered.</p>

This book is a collection of the proceedings of the study seminar held in Verona on 14 November 2003. This was the occasion for the presentation of the results of archive research performed by young researchers on the Jewish presence in numerous cities and smaller towns of the Venetian hinterland in the fifteenth century (Vicenza, Verona, Treviso, Feltre, and the minor centres of the Polesine and Verona and Vicenza territory). The various themes that are developed though attentive and documented analysis include: the autonomous initiative of the civic communities in the relation with the Jewish moneylenders and the attitude of Venice, divided between protection and the anti-Jewish tensions that were widespread among the lagoon nobility; the encounter and dialectic between the Ashkenazi and Italian components in the communities settled within the cities and hamlets of Veneto; the difference of the social and cultural climate between the first and second half of the fifteenth century, marked by incisive Franciscan preaching and attempts at expulsion from the cities; a look 'from the inside' which opens up the role of women in the economic life of the Jewish communities. Over twenty years after the convention on 'The Jews and Venice' promoted by the Fondazione Cini, these contributions illustrate the revival of study and the ever-present need for comparison and exchange on the issue of the Jewish presence in Italy.

AbstractThis chapter takes up overarching questions that stemmed from the authors’ participation as panelists in an international town hall at a science educator conference: our vision for cultivating anti-racist and social justice-driven (science) education, challenges we have experienced while enacting this vision, and creative maneuvers and resistance strategies we have used in overcoming those challenges. The chapter (and town hall upon which it is based) brought together racially and geographically diverse educators with a wide range of expertise, from political science to science education, literacy education, teacher education, and social justice education. Our diverse positionalities helped us engage with challenges and possibilities from a more robust and multidimensional perspective. This chapter is not trying to make a case for anti-racism in science education or why we should take on anti-racist projects as part of life and living together in the Anthropocene. Rather, our goal through these conversations was to bring our own experiences to bear on how anti-racist and social justice-driven education can be enacted and sustained in science and education and beyond. We found that our diverse perspectives enabled us to collectively think and imagine beyond the limitations of our own disciplinary and nationalist socializations.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Increasing the capacity and gross weight of North American freight cars above the current 263,000-pound car (33-ton axle loads) is one way to improve the productivity of rail freight operations. An increase in expenditures on track and bridge maintenance is normally essential if axle load increases are to provide promised benefits. If each train can carry more net tons of bulk commodity safely, then productivity savings will be achieved by reducing the number of train crews required to haul a given tonnage. If the ratio of net-to-gross tons can be increased, additional savings can be achieved in fuel, track costs, and equipment costs. With fewer trains to move any given tonnage, there will be an improvement in capacity and a reduction in meet-pass delays. Over the past 15 years, Transportation Technology Center, Inc. (TTCI), a subsidiary of the Association of American Railroads (AAR), has devoted extensive research efforts to safety, technical, and economic issues related to increasing axle loads. Much of the research has been based upon the five phases of the Heavy Axle Load (HAL) test program. More than 1,200 million gross tons (MGT) of HAL traffic was accumulated at the Facility for Accelerated Service Testing (FAST) located at the Federal Railroad Administration’s (FRA) Transportation Technology Center near Pueblo, Colorado. AAR and the FRA jointly fund the HAL program with significant cooperation from railroads and suppliers. Results show that, in general, heavier axle loads will increase track and facility costs, but decrease operating and equipment costs. Since track costs are much smaller than combined operating and equipment costs, HAL operations can be economically beneficial even if the percentage increase in track costs is far greater than the percentage decrease in operating plus equipment costs. However, it should be emphasized again that in situations where track and bridges need upgrading for heavier axle loads, investment in track and bridges needs to be made first in order to realize the operating benefits from HAL operations. Total track costs were predicted to rise 5 to 10 percent under 286,000-pound cars (36-ton axle loads) and 15 to 18 percent under 315,000-pound cars (39-ton axle loads). Bridge costs, which were included as their own separate category, were predicted to rise faster than track costs. While the predicted increases for bridges were extremely high, bridge costs were only 10 to 15 percent of track costs in the base case, so they did not dominate the analysis.

Full textAbstract:
The Langley seawater tow tank, located on Langley Airbase in Hampton, Virginia, was designed and built by NACA in 1931 for seaplane research and has been in various states of use since then. Since 1983, NUWC has maintained stewardship of the tank and has conducted a large number of tests there. This paper will present an overview of the facility and its capabilities as well as discuss several recent test results. The tank is reinforced concrete, 2880 feet long, 12 feet deep, and 24 feet wide, and can be filled with 5.4 million gallons of either fresh or baywater. Baywater can be filtered to 25 microns and has a salinity about half that of seawater. The carriage is powered by eight 75 hp D.C. motors with trolley style cables and can attain speeds of up to 40 knots. Power is generated by a 850 kW motor generator. Several struts exist for model towing and the carriage bas 110/120 V.A.C. and 3 phase 208 A.C. volt available power. A workshop is in the building and a variety of instrumentation and data acquisition is on hand. Unique possibilities exist at the LTT due to the organic and physical properties of seawater. For example, one of the largest ever artificial colonies of plankton was grown there. Furthermore, because of the electrical conductivity of the water, research into the control of turbulent flows by magnetohydrodynamic forces can be, and bas been, performed there. To illustrate the variety of test configurations an capabilities, results are presented from three recent test programs performed at the tank. The first will be the set-up and test results of a fully submerged axisymmetric 180 inch long cylindrical sting mounted model. The test rig will be shown including the floating swing balance which is coupled to an axial load cell. Test results will be shown for hydrodynamic resistance versus speed at zero and non-zero attack angles. The second set of results shown will be those of a towed cylindrical body equipped with remotely actuated hydrodynamic drag brakes which was released in flight an allowed to come to rest Drag measurements made at different drag brake settings and speeds will be presented as well as photographic documentation. Finally, a recent set of test results will be presented; taken on a submerged cylindrical body, strut mounted to a 6 degree of freedom load balance. Results to be presented will include force and moment measurements as a function of speed and attack angle.

Vistula Lagoon is the second largest lagoon in the Baltic Sea with maximum depth 5.2 m and average depth 2.7 m. Water volume and area are 2.3 km3 and 838 km2. Lagoon is connected with the Baltic Sea by single inlet 400 m wide and 10-12 m deep. Sediment budget estimation were made using literature sources, results of field measurements (hydrology, suspended sediment content, upper layer sediment structure, direct measurements of sedimentation in summer and winter conditions). The budget for terrigene and biogenic components of sediments were made, considering their contributions from the rivers, inflow from the Baltic Sea, coastal erosion and aerial flux, biological production within the lagoon, totally - ca. 730 thousands ton per year. Nearly half of total gain is washed out (105 and 244 thousands ton per year of terrigene and biogenic components), another half is dissolved and mineralized (biogenic component), and only 10% is deposited on the bottom, resulting in rather low sedimentation rate - 0.4 mm/year during last 100 years. Paper explain the reason of difference with estimation made in (Chubarenko&Chubarenko, 2002) and concludes that the clarification of estimates of the amounts of sediments transported from the lagoon to the Baltic Sea is a critical element for understanding the evolution of the Vistula Lagoon as a sedimentation system.

Full textAbstract:
The renaissance of the cult of St. James and Camino de Santiago (the Christian pilgrimage route to the tomb of St. James the Apostle in Santiago de Compostela, Spain) began from the second half of the 20th century through the pro-active Catholic volunteers. Their effort has been accompanied by the activities of state and public administration bodies aimed to create the profane, tourist Camino as an effective way to promote Galicia region and the town Santiago de Compostela as a tourism destination. The applied different development strategies had also the ambition to solve the local and regional problems of socio-economic development of the backward rural areas, affected by Camino with its visitors. The study deals with the phenomenon Camino and its transformation from the Christian pilgrimage route to post-secular’s product of mass tourism in the context of (un)sustainable rural development. The special turn in the permanent growth in the number of tourists and pilgrims on the Camino (from overtourism to undertourism) is connected with the shock pandemic years of 2020 and 2021, and Camino as rural development strategy is again studied from the rural sustainability point of view

Full textAbstract:
The plan for occupation of the South Caucasus, which was put forward in the first half of the 18th century, during the reign of the Russian Tsar Peter I, had become even vividly in the 19th century. The idea of the Tsarist Russia to create a Christian state in the Caspian region of the South Caucasus – in the territory of Azerbaijan emerged again. During this period, the religious- ecclesiastical system, which forms the basis of theocratic society, played an important role in the socio-political life of Azerbaijan. It was during this period that the occupier Russian Empire used all methods and means to weaken or to control the social foundations of theocratic-Muslim society in Azerbaijan. The religious, political and socio-economic policy carried out in this region seriously damaged the moral life of the Lankaran region after the occupation of the northern part of Azerbaijan. According to statistical indicators of the time, during the period of khanates, among the 3190 families in the Lankaran Khanate there were 320 ecclesiastic families-35 families of the Seyid (1105 heads), but in 1848, this figure reduced to 462 heads. At the end of the 19th century there were only 52 ecclesiastic people in the Lankaran uyezd. This was 0.03 per cent of the total population - 130 thousand 987 people. There were only 18 ecclesiastic people in the Lankaran town. The resettlement of the Christian population of Tsarist Russia to Azerbaijan and, in particular, to Lankaran, was one of the most serious factors affecting the religious system in the region. Keywords: Russian Empire, Azerbaijan, Lankaran Region, Religious-Colonial Policy.

Full textAbstract:
The world is increasingly urbanized and yet, even in urban areas, humans remain dependent on the ecosystem services that nature provides. This case study-exercise explores selected aspects of the dynamic between humans and urban ecology in three parts. First, we briefly discuss urban ecosystems and the context of biodiversity conservation in urban areas. Then, through a case study of the Million Trees program in New York City, we provide evidence and start a discussion about the possible benefits—as well as potential negative social, ecological, and economic consequences—of urban trees. And finally, we introduce biodiversity conservation in urban green spaces through an exercise on native bees. After reading about the importance of, and threats to, native bees, students take on stakeholder roles to decide if their neighborhood should accept a grant to create and maintain bee habitat in an urban park. Students are tasked with conducting additional research and participating in a classroom town hall meeting to present and support their argument for or against the creation of native bee habitat.

Full textAbstract:
Between 1972 and 2014, in Northern Tamil Nadu (NTN), India, the Green Revolution (GR) in agriculture was studied through five rounds of village-level studies (VLS). Over the decades, the number of villages dwindled; from 11, rigorously and randomly selected (together with a ‘Slater’ village first studied in 1916), through to a set of three villages in a rural–urban complex around a market town, to one of the original eleven, in the fifth round. During the reorganisation of districts in 1989, the villages sited on the Coromandel plain shifted administratively from North Arcot, a vanguard GR district, to Tiruvannamalai, described then as relatively backward. A wide range of concepts, disciplines, scales, field methods and analytical approaches were deployed to address i) a common core of questions about the economic and social implications of technological change in agriculture and ii) sets of other timely questions about rural development, which changed as the project lengthened. Among the latter was poverty.

Full textAbstract:
The survey presented in this report reveals that Nordic citizens are concerned about climate change. Many people are willing to increase efforts to fight climate change, even if this entails a personal contribution in terms of higher taxes or behavioural change. The survey shows that different social groups perceive the impacts of climate change and climate mitigation policies in different ways. In general, attitudes towards climate policies and perceptions regarding their fairness are conditioned by socio-demographic factors such as gender, age, employment status, type of housing and transport behaviour. General attitudes towards climate change and climate policies The first part of this report explores general attitudes towards climate change and climate policies. This section shows that seven in ten (71%) respondents think that climate change is a serious or very serious problem, particularly among the youngest age group (18-29 years). Three in four (74%) interviewed persons in this group share this view. Those with a university degree are more concerned about climate change (83%) than those with primary or secondary education (57% and 62%, respectively). Approximately half (48-51%) of respondents in all age groups agree that more financial resources should be invested in preventing climate change, even if this would imply an increase in taxes. The survey results show that women in the Nordic Region are more concerned about climate change than men (79% compared to 64%). It also reveals that people living in urban areas are more worried about climate change (82%) than those who live in towns and suburbs (68%) or in rural areas (62%). Urban dwellers are also more positive about investing more resources in preventing climate change (59%) than those who live in rural areas (39%) and in towns and suburbs (46%). More than half of the respondents (52%) agree that taking further action on climate change would be beneficial for the economy. Students, unemployed and retired people are more likely to agree with this view (55%, 57% and 55%, respectively) than those currently in employment, including the self-employed (50%). Those employed in carbon-intensive sectors are less positive about the expected economic impact of climate policies than those who work in other economic sectors (41% compared to 55%). They are also more concerned about the risk of job losses during the transition to a low-carbon economy than those employed in sectors with lower carbon intensity (37% compared to 24%). Concerns about this issue are also higher among those who live in rural areas (31%) or towns and suburbs (30%) compared to those who live in cities (22%). Present and future effects of climate change mitigation policies on individuals and households The central part of the survey explores perceptions regarding the present and future impacts of climate policies. Such challenges are perceived differently depending on specific sociodemographic conditions. Nearly one fourth (23%) of respondents state that high energy costs mean they are struggling to keep their homes at a comfortable temperature. Those living in houses report being more impacted (27%) than those living in apartments (18%), and those using fossil fuels to heat their homes are most affected (44%). The risk of energy poverty is also higher among non-EU immigrants to the Nordic Region. Those who say they are struggling to keep their homes at a comfortable temperature range from 23% among Nordic-born citizens to 37% among non-EU immigrants. Nearly three in ten respondents (28%) have modified their transportation behaviour during the last year due to high fuel costs. This proportion is substantially greater among those living in towns and suburbs (32%) compared to those who live in rural areas (29%) or cities (23%). The majority of the Nordic population (52%) states that current climate policies have a neutral effect on their household economies. However, 28% of respondents say they are negatively impacted by climate policies in economic terms. Men report being negatively affected more frequently than women (33% vs 22%, respectively). People who live in houses are more likely to claim they are being negatively impacted than people who live in apartments (31% and 23%, respectively). Nearly half (45%) of the respondents in the Nordic Region agree that climate initiatives will improve health and well-being, and half of the respondents (50%) think that climate change initiatives will lead to more sustainable lifestyles in their area. However, half (51%) of the Nordic population expect to see increases in prices and the cost of living as a consequence of climate policies, and those who believe that climate policies will create jobs and improve working conditions in the areas where they live (31% and 24%, respectively) are outnumbered by those who believe the opposite (35% and 34%, respectively). Fairness of climate policies The last section of the report looks at how the Nordic people perceive the fairness of climate policies in distributional terms. In the survey, the respondents were asked to judge to what extent they agree or disagree that everyone in their country or territory is equally affected by initiatives to fight climate change regardless of personal earnings, gender, age, country of origin and where they live – cities or rural areas. The results show that the Nordic people believe climate change initiatives affect citizens in different ways depending on their demographic, socioeconomic and territorial backgrounds. More than half of the respondents (56%) disagree that everyone is equally affected by initiatives to fight climate change regardless of earnings. Only 22% agree with this statement. Younger age groups are more pessimistic than older age groups on this point (66% in the 18-29 age group compared to 41% in the 65+ group). Almost half of respondents (48%) agree that climate policies are fair from a gender perspective, while 25% disagree with this statement and 23% are neutral. Roughly one in three (30%) respondents in the Nordic Region agree that people are equally affected by climate change initiatives regardless of age, 41% disagree with this statement and 25% are neutral. More than one third (35%) of the Nordic population agree that everyone is equally affected by initiatives to fight climate change regardless of the country of origin, while 34% of them disagree. More than half of respondents (56%) think that the impact of climate initiatives differs between rural and urban areas, while only 22% think that all areas are equally affected. Respondents who live in cities are more likely to respond that climate policy impacts differ between rural and urban areas (60%) than respondents who live in rural areas (55%) and towns and suburbs (53%). One third (33%) of respondents in the survey think that the Sámi population is affected by climate change initiatives to the same extent as the rest of the population. In Greenland, a majority of the population (62%) agrees that the indigenous population in Greenland is equally affected by measures to combat climate change. The results from this survey conducted in the autumn of 2022, show that the population in the Nordic Region perceive the impacts of climate mitigation policies in different ways. These results can raise awareness and stimulate debate about the implementation of climate mitigation policies for a just green transition.
