AbstractPresent-day marine sediments around the emerged basaltic areas of Iceland and the Faeroe Islands are characterized by the abundance and predominance of smectites. Smectites increase regularly and systematically near volcanic areas. Their origin from (i) meteoric/deuteric weathering, (ii) hydrothermal products, (iii) neoformation in the marine environment or (iv) transformation during their transport to or stay in oceanic regions is considered in a comparative study of three types of environments on or near the Faeroe Islands. These are (1) a basaltic environment where phyllite minerals of deuteric and hydrothermal origin are abundant; (2) a soil environment formed on basaltic flows; (3) a marine sedimentary environment within adjacent sedimentary basins. This investigation clearly shows the link between hydrothermal and deuteric saponite-celadonite in basalt, Fe,Mg-smectite in Faeroe soils and Fe-smectite in marine sediments.

Chronological Features of Settlement Names Referring to the Natural Environment In this paper I examine the chronological features of settlement names referring to the natural environment. My objective is to find out when and in what propor-tion this name type and its structural categories (names without a formant, single-component and two-component names) appeared in sources from the Old Hungari-an Era and how their frequency changed during the centuries. My findings based on the relative chronological analysis are compared with the chronological features of the settlement names referring to people. For this comparative study, I chose a sub-category of names referring to the human environment, the type of settlement names formed from the names of social groups (ethnonyms, names of tribes, and occupational names). Keywords: toponyms from the early Old Hungarian Era, settlement names referring to the natural environment, frequency, relative chronology, comparative studies

Writers and readers of literature are, among other things, biological en tities that evolve under particular political (geographical/historical) conditions. A comparative study of certain texts by Martin Heidegger (1889–1976) can help us establish a fruitful interpretation of this threefold link between literary art, biology and politics. However, careful analysis reveals that Heidegger remains too rooted in an old-world, nationalistic and anthropocentric paradigm. We will attempt to rethink Heidegger’s assumptions on the grounds that literature, a cultural practice, enables us to delineate our natural environment. By reformulating Heidegger’s line of thought, we can more precisely address the plural structure of our biotic and political-literary experiences.

The study is aimed at analyzing the implementation and the perspectives of criminal policies in the field of biodiversity conservation. Reevaluation on penal policies is focused on five concepts. Therefore, it is necesarry to recheck the terminology of flora and fauna using a method of categorizing for all flora and fauna becoming the results of the real development in the field in relation to the category standard of IUCN using the final version of 1994 or CITES Appendix,. Non penal policies which have been applied by the program organizers are adapted to the data field through PRA (Participatory Rural Appraisal) studies. Reevaluation on non penal policies have been elaborated in details in both two programs Reevaluation mentioned above is useful for constructing perspective by considering the recommendation on criminal policies in the United Nations Congress: CITES, KTT Land Document in Rio de Janeiro 1992, and Global Biodiversity Strategies of 1992, national conferences for experts of criminal laws of natural environment and comparative study in criminal policies on natural environment in other countries. The theoretical and practical contributions of criminal policies in biodiversity conservation are valued as a paradigm in the contexts of: (1) the effects of internal and external affairs based on democracy principles on the existence of criminal policy, (2) the position of criminal policy in the paradigm of law reformation in Indonesia.
