Full text
Abstract:
Projects of radical life extension have been discussed amongst scientists for years. Some bioethicists express reservations about this endeavor. A common objection appeals to demography: if the human lifespan is dramatically expanded, humanity would face an overpopulation problem. In this essay, the authors reply to this objection. They posit that radical life extension is unlikely to lead to overpopulation because overpopulation is determined more by fertility rates than by longevity, and as a result of the advanced phases of industrialization, fertility rates are likely to be reduced, and therefore, population size would become stable. However, they argue that although overpopulation is not a concern for the foreseeable future, it is still important to acknowledge its potential harms. Finally, they argue that even if overpopulation becomes a problem caused by radical life extension, there are plausible ways to solve it.

Abstract:
The issue of overpopulation should also be recognized as confronting new problems of thinking human population, which emerged as a central term in biopolitical discourses. One of the initial challenges can be understood from Jean-Luc Nancy's understanding of the biopolitical as located within ‘ecotechnology’ – technology's engulfing of the human and world in an expansionary logic without limit. Attempting to technically control overpopulation runs the risk of just reiterating ecotechnical manipulation. To avoid the pessimistic response to such globalizing biopolitics, we can, first, examine the itinerary of Foucault's history of ‘population’ as the central figure in the rise of modernity's governmentality; second, focus on a critical ‘hinge’ that connected his understanding of governmental regulation with his insistence that liberalism was essential to the rise of governmentality – the counter-conduct linking individuals to disciplinary practices. Overpopulation can be then approached as an issue framed by existing biopolitical traditions, but open to useful reconceptualization by using counter-conduct as a guide.

Abstract:
Despite substantial evidence pointing to a looming Malthusian catastrophe, governmental measures to reduce population have been opposed both by religious conservatives and by many liberals, especially liberal feminists. Liberal critics have claimed that ‘utilitarian’ population policies violate a ‘fundamental right of reproductive liberty’. This essay argues that reproductive liberty should not be considered a fundamental human right, or certainly not an indefeasible right. It should, instead, be strictly regulated by a global agreement designed to reduce population to a sustainable level. Three major points are discussed: 1) the current state of the overpopulation problem; 2) the claim of a fundamental human right of reproductive liberty; 3) an outline of a global agreement to address overpopulation as a ‘tragedy of the commons’.

Abstract:
This paper offers an overview of the chameleonic nature of overpopulation as an environmental issue, and of the relative evasion of population as an issue in ecocriticism and elsewhere: the very multiplicity of environmental factors means that population pressure can always seem to be finessed as “really” something else. Overpopulation looks drastically different as an issue, depending on whether it is considered at the level of the nation state, that of individual right, or as a global phenomenon. Finally, the chameleonic nature of overpopulation poses intractable challenges to literary representation, since it resists representation at the scalar norms of realism.

Abstract:
Overpopulation and abandonment of pets are long-standing and burgeoning concerns that involve uncontrolled breeding and selling, illegal trafficking, overpopulation, and pet safety and well-being issues. Abandonment of pets creates numerous negative externalities and multimillion-dollar costs, in addition to severe consequences and problems concerning animal welfare (e.g., starvation, untreated disease, climatic extremes, uncertainty of rescue and adoption), ecological (e.g., invasive species and introduction of novel pathogens), public health and safety (e.g., risks to people from bites, zoonoses, or road hazards), and economic (e.g., financial burdens for governmental and nongovernmental organizations). These interwoven problems persist for several reasons, including the following: (1) lack of an efficient system for the prevention of abandonment and overpopulation, (2) lack of regulatory liability for pet owners, (3) lack of legal alternative to abandonment. This article proposes a novel comprehensive management system for amelioration of overpopulation and abandonment of pets aimed to tackle the current supply and demand dysfunction of the pet market and provide a legal alternative to abandonment.

Abstract:
Purpose This paper aims to consider few cognitive and conceptual obstacles to engagement with global catastrophic risks (GCRs). Design/methodology/approach The paper starts by considering cognitive biases that affect general thinking about GCRs, before questioning whether existential risks really are dramatically more pressing than other GCRs. It then sets out a novel typology of GCRs – sexy vs unsexy risks – before considering a particularly unsexy risk, overpopulation. Findings It is proposed that many risks commonly regarded as existential are “sexy” risks, while certain other GCRs are comparatively “unsexy.” In addition, it is suggested that a combination of complexity, cognitive biases and a hubris-laden failure of imagination leads us to neglect the most unsexy and pervasive of all GCRs: human overpopulation. The paper concludes with a tentative conceptualisation of overpopulation as a pattern of risking. Originality/value The paper proposes and conceptualises two new concepts, sexy and unsexy catastrophic risks, as well as a new conceptualisation of overpopulation as a pattern of risking.

Abstract:
Civilization and Industrialization are two main side effects of overpopulation. Production of food and living requirement for new generations needs raw materials and production process as well as changing natural environment for infrastructure construction. Huge municipal solid waste, anthropological pollution in terrestrial, aquatic and atmosphere media are responses of numerous industries for engaging with humankind requirement. Economic circumstances, ecological condition as well as effective management of production process by selecting smart managing methods in order to decreasing hazardous wastes which produce throughout the manufacturing human living requirements, will be a suitable or even favorable target for green living and environmental protection. This manuscript will discuss on wastes sources, production and practical strategies for decreasing their hazard effect throughout current human activities. In other words, how civilization and industrialization can engage with emerging requirements of humankind as well as concerning to environmental protection?

Abstract:
AbstractThere is an increasing consensus among ecologists that global ecosystems are under strain from unsustainable consumption habits and human overpopulation. However, there is no such consensus among many religious persons. Many Christians for example, are quite concerned about both overconsumption and overpopulation while others are uncomfortable with any discussion of either, or specifically with discussions about overpopulation. This discomfort may be due to concerns about undermining God's sovereignty or opposition to specific family planning policies. Two other reasons for this lack of consensus are misunderstandings of science and of Scripture. Central to the ecological understanding of the world is a belief in the concept of limitation. Some Christians, however, appear to believe that natural laws and limitations do not act on human populations. Furthermore, some Christians interpret the Bible as promoting high fertility. In contrast, I describe the ecological principles of allocation, optima, and limiting factors, which derive from the limitation of matter and energy. I propose to integrate these scientific principles with three scriptural principles: balance, wisdom, and corporate responsibility and to apply them to the current issue of overpopulation.

Abstract:
The following work discusses the challenges faced by the agricultural sector due to overpopulation and global warming, which are transforming it dramatically. The planet's overpopulation has caused various negative events, including global warming, which has shifted temperature and disrupted ecosystems. The agricultural sector is affected by these events and is required to change its production rate accordingly. Global warming affects crop cultivation, and farmers may be forced out of business due to temperature shifts. Moreover, land shortage is a critical problem, and environmental factors can render lands unsuitable for cultivation, causing a loss of resources and ecological damage. To cope with the issues caused by overpopulation and global warming, the agricultural sector needs to adopt new eco-friendly methods.

Full text
Abstract:
Literature for children and young people is uniquely positioned in terms of intended readership and literary genres such as the young adult dystopian novel to scrutinise intergenerational and human fertility issues associated with overpopulation. However, fictional texts that explore overpopulation have a narrative form that is unstable and unreliable due to prevailing conventions of subjectivity and optimism in children's and young adult literature. Derrida's last interview, Learning to Live, is pertinent to an understanding of motifs of overpopulation in literature for children and young people. Derrida's recognition of the ‘rights’ of future and present generations, and of the temporal intergenerational problems between parent as child, and child as parent, are explored in recent fictional texts for children and young people.

Full text
Abstract:
Quorum sensing (QS) is often defined as a mechanism of microbial communication that can regulate microbial behaviors in accordance with population density. Much is known about QS mechanisms in bacteria, but fungal QS research is still in its infancy. In this study, the molecules constituting the volatolomes of the plant pathogenic fungi Fusarium culmorum and Cochliobolus sativus have been identified during culture conditions involving low and high spore concentrations, with the high concentration imitating overpopulation conditions (for QS stimulation). We determined that volatolomes emitted by these species in conditions of overpopulation have a negative impact on their mycelial growth, with some of the emitted molecules possibly acting as QSM. Candidate VOCs related to QS have then been identified by testing the effect of individual volatile organic compounds (VOCs) on mycelial growth of their emitting species. The antifungal effect observed for the volatolome of F. culmorum in the overpopulation condition could be attributed to ethyl acetate, 2-methylpropan-1-ol, 3-methylbutyl ethanoate, 3-methylbutan-1-ol, and pentan-1-ol, while it could be attributed to longifolene, 3-methylbutan-1-ol, 2-methylpropan-1-ol, and ethyl acetate for C. sativus in the overpopulation condition. This work could pave the way to a sustainable alternative to chemical fungicides.

Abstract:
This appraisal of Carol A. Kates’ ‘Reproductive Liberty and Overpopulation’ challenges her call for world-wide population control measures – using compulsory methods if necessary – to save the world's environment. The most successful part of Kates’ paper is her argument that reproductive rights are not indefeasible and nonnegotiable, but that like many rights, they are conditional and open to a balancing of individual freedom against collective community interests. But her advocacy of mandatory state population controls is flawed in several respects. First, she underestimates the force of the emerging consensus for voluntary population reductions through policies that empower women. Second, she walks on difficult ethical grounds. Are compulsory controls on reproduction ethically justified simply because humans are loathe to take the alternative route of curtailing their ‘individualistic’ ‘materialistic’ appetites for more economic growth and consumption? Third, Kates fails to recognise that her search for measures that immediately and directly reverse population growth would necessitate coercing an entire generation of women toward zero reproduction in order for death rates to have their effect. Lastly, problems with the feasibility of her plan and the absence of international support make it unlikely it will ever come to pass. Alternatives to Kates’ policies are discussed at the close.

Abstract:
HOX proteins are transcription factors that regulate stem cell (SC) function, but their role in the SC origin of cancer is under-studied. Aberrant expression of HOX genes occurs in many cancer types. Our goal is to ascertain how retinoic acid (RA) signaling and the regulation of HOXA9 expression might play a role in the SC origin of human colorectal cancer (CRC). Previously, we reported that aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) and other RA pathway components are co-expressed in colonic cancer SCs (CSCs) and that overpopulation of ALDH-positive CSCs occurs during colon tumorigenesis. Our hypothesis is RA signaling regulates HOXA9 expression, and dysregulated RA signaling results in HOXA9 overexpression, which contributes to CSC overpopulation in CRC. Immunostaining showed that HOXA9 was selectively expressed in ALDH-positive SCs, and HOXA9 expression was increased in CRCs compared to normal epithelium. Modulating RA signaling in CRC cells (HT29 and SW480) with ATRA and DEAB decreased cell proliferation and reduced HOXA9 expression. Bioinformatics analyses identified a network of proteins that functionally interact with HOXA9, and the genes that encode these proteins, as well as HOXA9, contain RA receptor binding sites. These findings indicate that the expression of HOXA9 and its functional network is regulated by RA signaling in normal colonic SCs, and, when dysregulated, HOXA9 may contribute to CSC overpopulation that drives CRC development and growth. Our study provides a regulatory mechanism that might be useful in developing treatments against CSC overpopulation in CRC.

Abstract:
In this paper, I establish the disscus the ethical urgency of the overpopulation problem as a cause of the planet’s destruction y the deshumanization. I hold up that the overpopulation is a taboo for the ecologists in general and for important ambiental ethical teorics. And I reckon this problem is holding up for religious prejuides. In this way, I don`t support a malthusian perspective, on the contrary, I criticise such perspective in Holmes Rolston III and other enviromental teorics. I think in a solution through the education and stimulating and public politcs.
