Abstract:
The agricultural production systems in the hilly areas differ from the plough cultivation in the plain areas. The term shifting cultivation refers to a certain method of farming. In this particular method, land is widely used to cultivate crops for a few years, then allowed to lie fallow for several years after which it is reused again. Shifting cultivation is said to be one of the unsustainable land uses contributing significantly to environmental degradation. Across South and Southeast Asia, a large number of people depend fully or partly on shifting cultivation for their livelihood and food security. In the Himalayan region of the north east, the agricultural practice of shifting cultivation also known as jhum cultivation or rotational agro-forestry, prevalent since prehistoric times, is being carried out by traditional tribal societies even today. The objective of this paper is to study the growth and progress of shifting cultivations in North-Eastern India.

Abstract:
Historically, shifting cultivation has been traced back to the neolithic period. It has undergone transitions from being a subsistence agriculture to small surpluses. Despite the global changes intruding into the socio-economic sphere of the tribal communities across Northeastern region of India, shifting cultivation continues to play an important role in providing livelihoods and food security to the rural tribal households. It seems that shifting cultivation is closely tied to the cultural identity of the tribal people. Therefore, its importance lies beyond mere economic concerns. Though with government interventions and under innovative shifting cultivation, the farmers in the region have switched to newer methods of cultivation, shifting cultivation continues parallel to sedentary cultivation accommodating at the same time the value system and needs of the tribal society. Concurrently, the Jhumias – shifting cultivators are constantly incorporating new measures into shifting cultivation to make it ecologically less destructive. Amidst changing perceptions on shifting cultivation practices, the paper tries to analyse the continuance of shifting cultivation in the region.

Abstract:
The paper discussed the historical perspectives of shifting cultivation in north-eastern states of India. It has been found that north-eastern region of India has long history of shifting cultivation. Shifting cultivation is a primitive method of agricultural cultivation in the region. Ethnic tribal people are more involve in such cultivation. Large portion land in the region are still under such cultivation. Culture, rituals and customs of the tribal people are connected with shifting cultivation. Area under shifting cultivation are declined in the region due to many reasons. Low production of crops, lack of rainfall, and government restrictions are the prominent factors. But large portion of land in Nagaland, Meghalaya, and Arunachal Pradesh, are still under the shifting cultivation. Poor tribal people are more involved in shifting cultivation because of less use of capital, inputs, machines etc. It is a labour-intensive method of cultivation. There are negative ecological implications of shifting cultivation on nature. The Government of many states in the region has already prohibited such cultivation considering its environmental consequences and encouraging them for transforming in agro-forestry.

Abstract:
Shifting cultivation is a widely practiced agriculture system in the tropics. Regardless of the dominant land use, the dynamics of shifting cultivation over large areas are of limited knowledge. We conducted patch-based assessments and characterization of shifting cultivation extracted from already developed dataset, which detected shifting cultivation by a trajectory-based analysis using annual Landsat TM/ETM+/OLI time series images from 2000 to 2014 in Myanmar. An accuracy assessment was conducted in terms of the size and number of cleared areas compared with reference polygons of shifting cultivation, which were manually delineated by visual interpretation using Landsat and high-resolution satellite images from Google Earth™ in the selected areas. The producer’s and user’s accuracies in detecting the number of shifting cultivation patches were 78.1% and 88.4%, respectively. In whole study area, the probability of disturbances caused by shifting cultivation was significantly affected by distance to the nearest village, indicating the importance of accessibility from residences. The number of shifting cultivation patches showed a decreasing trend in this region and it will lead to less cleared forests such as located far from residences. These dynamics of shifting cultivation have possibility to affect the mosaic patterns of landscape and function maintained in the landscape in this region.

Abstract:
Abstract Although shifting cultivation is the major land use type in Laos, the spatial-temporal patterns and the associated carbon emissions of shifting cultivation in Laos are largely unknown. This study provides a nationwide analysis of the spatial-temporal patterns of shifting cultivation and estimations of the associated carbon emissions in Laos over the last three decades. This study found that shifting cultivation has been expanding and intensifying in Laos, especially in the last 5 years. The newly cultivated land from 2016 to 2020 accounted for 4.5% (±1.2%) of the total land area of Laos. Furthermore, the length of fallow periods has been continuously declining, indicating that shifting cultivation is becoming increasingly intensive. Combining biomass derived from Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation and shifting cultivation maps and area estimates, we found that the net carbon emissions from shifting cultivation declined in 2001–2015 but increased in 2016–2020. The largest carbon source is conversion from intact forests to shifting cultivation, which contributed to 89% of the total emissions from 2001 to 2020. In addition, there were increased emissions from intensified use of fallow lands. This research provides useful information for policymakers in Laos to understand the changes in shifting cultivation and improve land use management. This study not only supports Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation reporting for Laos but also provides a methodology for tracking carbon emissions and removals of shifting cultivation.

Abstract:
Succession following shifting cultivation was studied in secondary forests (5 to 40 years old) and a primary forest in Bragantina region, Para, Brazil. Secondary forests covered 62% of the study area (89 km² ) and crops and pasture 18%. Soil analyses showed an increase in pH, exchangeable calcium, magnesium and potassium and a decrease of organic matter and exchangeable aluminium, immediately after burning. Organic matter and extractable phosphorus increased with forest age, exchangeable aluminium and potassium were the same in both secondary and primary forests and exchangeable calcium and magnesium remained higher in the secondary forests. The highest densities of individuals and the least basal area and height were found in the younger secondary forests. The number of woody species (≥5 cm dbh) 250-m2 plot ranged from 8 to 17 in the secondary forests and 17 to 27 in the primary forest. Ordination and classification of floristic data suggested four successional communities. The forests regenerated readily and studies showed: the largest seed bank (0-5 cm) in the 5-years-old forest (1190 ± 284 seeds m-2) and a decrease with age to 137 ±19 seeds m-2 in the primary forest; the highest seed rain in the 5-years-old forest (883 ± 230 seeds m-2) and least in the primary forest (220 ± 80); 46% of the smaller plants (≥1 m tall, < 5 cm dbh) were seedlings and 54% were sprouts in the 5-years-old forest but in the 10-years and 20-years-old forests, seedlings (81%) predominated; adult plants (≥5 cm db h) in 5 to 20-years-old plots regenerated mainly from sprouts. Even after about 90 years of shifting cultivation the region has the potential for forest regeneration and the soil nutrients are able to recover to values similar to those in the primary forest. This raises the hope that, if a land use plan for Bragantina could be implemented, then it would be successful.

Abstract:
Despite the long history of anxiety about shifting cultivation practices by small-scale farmers in Central African forests causing deforestation, this is the first study that examines the temporal and spatial dynamics of shifting cultivation landscapes and the influence of landscape configuration on secondary vegetation regrowth in fallows. This is important not least because, within the landscape matrix, fallow vegetation is crucial to alleviate effects of losses of forest vegetation, and biodiversity as well as negative impacts on carbon balance. Moreover, fallows provide food, beverage, fuel, building and medicinal products harvested from a diversity of plant species, whose value for local livelihoods is well known.

Abstract:
Abstract Large greenhouses are increasingly used for modern farming, occupying vast areas, and consuming considerable amounts of energy to maintain their functionalities. In this study, the performance of an energy-efficient greenhouse comprised of a transparent solar water heater, coupled with a spectrum-shifting material, and a water desalination unit, is investigated. A transparent solar water heater is installed on the greenhouse roof and provides warm water to be used for desalination. The addition of a spectrum-shifting material to the solar water heater can enhance the efficiency of the thermal system by absorbing wavelengths near-infrared waveband (NIR) or shifting the light to a spectrum more favorable to specific crop growth. Moreover, a desalination unit allows the treatment of a wide range of contaminated or saline waters to satisfy the crops’ potable water needs. The investigated desalination system utilizes direct-contact evaporation and condensation through a packed-bed material. Based on the simulation results for Phoenix Arizona, the transparent solar water heater is able to increase the water temperature by up to 25°C, while allowing sufficient light to pass through to maintain plant growth. Moreover, the implementation of a transparent solar water heater decreases the cooling and heating loads. The investigated greenhouse design is able to sustain hydroponic lettuce cultivation, for example, throughout the year, and satisfy the potable water requirements, thus producing up to 400 kg of fresh lettuce per month.

Abstract:
The threat of climate change and its negative consequences is currently a very serious and immediate problem. The most observable manifestation of climate change is undoubtedly global warming. The higher air temperature has already affected the length of the growing season in a large part of Europe. Flowering and ripening of cereals begin a few days earlier than was usual. These changes are expected to continue in many regions. The extension of the growing season and the frost-free period can generally lead to an increase in the productivity of agricultural production in Northern Europe. Higher temperatures and longer growing seasons allow new crops to be grown. On the other hand, extreme heat and a decrease in rainfall and water availability are expected to reduce crop productivity. Higher fluctuations in annual crop yields are expected due to the influence of extreme heat. This extreme heat is also associated with an increased incidence of pests and diseases. In the presented work, we focus on the changes in the areas of watermelon (Citrullus lanatus) cultivation in the years 1961-2020 with predictions for the horizons of 2050, 2075, 2100. The analysis itself was based on the length of the growing season. It is clear from the results how the areas of the possibility of growing the analyzed crop are changing, and what will be the assumption of changes in areas in the future. The change of individual bands changes in connection with the change of average temperatures. The results show how the possibilities of growing the analyzed crop are shifting to higher altitudes precisely in connection with climate change.

Abstract:
During one and a half years living with kombucha, the author followed it across a journey that diverged from a disciplinary point of view in favor of a “global design” (Papanek) approach that embraces co-dependencies (Haraway, Tsing). This journey spanned several domains: gastronomy and food, health, textile design, social practices. It was the occasion to find out how different cultures might be embodied by the heterogeneous kombucha community and its various locations: from bio-hack lab to the kitchen, art gallery, design school, and brewery lab. What may this Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast teach us—humans—about our ways of collaborating with, cultivating, exploiting or caring for the living beings we eat and/or use to make everyday objects? Could kombucha SCOBY provide a guide to shifting ways of understanding and performing our way of life, or to phrase it another way: to initiate a cultural revival?

Abstract:
Abstract Change the collective organizational culture from risk avoidance to risk taking because of the realization that taking calculated risks can lead to innovation and progress. This approach enabled a more agile and adaptable response to enhance performance while also cultivating a culture of continuous improvement. To achieve the required change, a communication and engagement strategy was selected through the following. To help GUPCO drilling organization understand the need for change, a high-value learning study was carried out. The study involved analyzing current practices, identifying areas of inefficiency, and exploring innovative approaches to enhance productivity and performance. To help GUPCO drilling organization start making the necessary adjustments, a workshop on drilling performance improvement was held. The workshop aimed to identify areas of improvement and develop strategies to enhance drilling performance. It provided a platform for employees to share their insights and collaborate on implementing effective solutions. By adopting this mindset, the GUPCO drilling team was able to approach challenges with a fresh perspective, encouraging innovative solutions and fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Consequently, the drilling team unlocked previously inaccessible opportunities. This new working philosophy was implemented in the EDFU field 2021 campaign by combining two sections that had never been drilled together. This resulted in time and cost savings and the unlocking of opportunities that had been blocked since 2017. Same approach of combining two sections was utilized in Saqqara, July, and October fields with outstanding results. The successful implementation of this new working philosophy not only allowed the drilling team to tap into previously untapped opportunities but also led to a significant increase in productivity and overall success, solidifying the effectiveness of this strategy and paving the way for future attempts. By fostering a culture that values experimentation, risk-taking, and open communication, companies can create an environment where employees feel empowered to think creatively and explore new ideas. This cultural shift can lead to increased collaboration, the breaking down of silos, and a greater emphasis on continuous learning and improvement, ultimately driving innovation forward.

Abstract:
As academia with over 10 years' experience in teaching students and having benefited from technological advances, we thought we were on top of things, as the methods we used proved to be successful, in onsite education. Then, the lockdown imposed by the pandemic forced us to redefine our instructor profiles, and to adapt resources, methods and means of communication to online education. By maintaining a constant connection with our students and asking for feedback, we were able to gradually develop the most appropriate methods, in order to provide them with a complete learning experience. The paper presents practices developed and applied in online teaching of electronics to 1st and 2nd year students. The practices refer to the weekly activities during the semester (course, lab, seminar), as well as to the final exam. Throughout the entire semester, the focus was on cultivating students' abilities to apply, synthesize, and interpret the information, knowing that the resources are always available, even during the exam. Challenges that occurred when shifting to online education were addressed by making changes in scheduling, knowledge transfer, weekly assignments, exam structure and method, student activity monitoring, resource availability, collecting feedback, student-student and student-teacher interaction. Comparing the results of the final evaluation to the ones from previous years, when all the activities were face-to-face, shows an increase of the pass rates with 10% for the open-book exam. The percentage of high grades (9 and 10) remains similar. These values, together with the positive feedback received from the students, prove that we successfully managed to turn the challenges of online teaching into achievements.

Morales, Leonardo Fabio, and Eleonora Dávalos. Diffusion of crime control benefits: Forced eradication and coca crops in Colombia. Banco de la República Colombia, November 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.32468/dtseru.314.

Abstract:
One explanation for the increasing number of hectares with coca cultivation is that eradication strategies displace coca crops but fail to completely clear affected areas. In the drug policy literature, that dynamic shifting is commonly known as the balloon effect. This study integrates georeferenced agricultural data through spatially explicit econometric models to test the hypothesis that forced eradication displace coca crops. Using annual data for 1,116 contiguous municipalities in Colombia between 2001 and 2015, we estimate a spatial Durbin model with municipal and time fixed effects. Our results suggest that, on average, aerial fumigation in a municipality diffuses the benefits of this crime control strategy to neighboring municipalities.
