The article provides a criminological analysis of the current state and trends of environmental crime in Ukraine as well as identifies the structure of environmental crime. The article identifies the most common types of environmental crime, including those that have global and local effect. According to the results of the research, a system of combating environmental crime is proposed supplementing it with the description and characterization of its components. An execution of systematic targeted control over the state of the environment combined with a prevention of environmental crimes by the state, society and individual citizens will become a counterbalance to the destructive attitude towards the environment and, accordingly, the basis for life safety in the ecosystem. Keywords: determinants of crime, crimes against the environment, ecology, environmental policy, judicial statistics

Lulu was fourteen when she released her first single, a virtuosic cover of the gospel-inspired “Shout.” This chapter connects Lulu’s use of vocal techniques with Black American origins to public perceptions of her youthfulness and to conversations about her sexuality. Lulu was barely out of childhood when she began her career and her youthful performances of respectability responded to racial anxiety. First, the chapter discusses Lulu’s rise in the Glasgow music scene; then, it examines media representation of Lulu’s virginal persona. This is followed by discussion of her voice in the context of anxiety over race, drawing examples from her performances in the films Gonks Go Beat and To Sir with Love. The chapter then explores Lulu’s efforts to reinvent herself in the late 1960s and closes with a postscript on Lulu’s recent concert performances.

El estudio de los incendios forestales en el Perú fue realizado sobre el área nacional, que abarca una superficie de 1´285,215 km2, para el periodo comprendido entre el año 1973 y el año 2000. El objetivo de la investigación fue caracterizar el problema de los incendios forestales peruanos a través de la descripción del ambiente donde se desarrollan los incendios forestales, del impacto de los incendios forestales sobre la población y los recursos naturales, de las estadísticas del área afectada y del número de incendios forestales y de la organización actual para el manejo de los incendios forestales. El análisis del problema permitió diagnosticar un conjunto de factores biofísicos, dificultades y deficiencias en la política ambiental actual, desde el punto de vista de su uso como elementos de toma de decisiones que contribuyan a reducir la gravedad de los incendios forestales en el país. FOREST FIRES IN PERU: A BIG PROBLEM FOR SOLVING Abstract The study of the forest fires in Peru was carried out over the national territory, that amounts in total an area of 1´285,215 km2, for the period 1973- 2000. The goal of the research was the characterization of the forest fire issue in Peru. To do that a set of different criteria were used, namely: the description of the forest fires environment features, the assessment of the impact of fires on the population and natural resources, the forest fires statistics concerning the total number of fires and total burned area and the current organization for forest fires management. The analysis of this problem made possible to diagnose a set of byophisic factors, difficulties and drawbacks in the current environmental policy, from the point of view of their use as decision-making elements that contribute to reduce the current importance of the forest fires problem in the country.

Mycobacteriophage R1 was originally isolated from a lysogenic culture of M. butyricum. The virus was propagated on a leucine-requiring derivative of M. smegmatis, 607 leu−, isolated by nitrosoguanidine mutagenesis of typestrain ATCC 607. Growth was accomplished in a minimal medium containing glycerol and glucose as carbon source and enriched by the addition of 80 μg/ ml L-leucine. Bacteria in early logarithmic growth phase were infected with virus at a multiplicity of 5, and incubated with aeration for 8 hours. The partially lysed suspension was diluted 1:10 in growth medium and incubated for a further 8 hours. This permitted stationary phase cells to re-enter logarithmic growth and resulted in complete lysis of the culture.
