Erosion and accretion are continuously changing the shape, size and configuration of Sandwip Island of Bangladesh. Plot level database are very significant in order to document these changes from micro levels. For this purpose, an attempt has been made to develop plot level database about land accretion of the Island since 1913 through overlapping Mauza maps using GIS (Geographic Information System) data. Here a case study named Thak Kuchiamora mauza, experiencing alluvion located in the eastern side of the Sandwip Island has been presented from micro level. Both primary and secondary data have been used for this study. CS (Cadastral Survey) and RS (Revisional Settlement) mauza maps available from DLRS (Directorate of land records and Surveys) office has been collected and overlaid on satellite images (2016) so that the accretion context and circumstances can be detected. Plot level information has been extracted from collected mauza maps and integrating with present land cover features changing scenario has been analysed. During cadastral survey 172 plots have been recorded and in the Revisional settlement operation it increased into 502 plots due to land fragmentation. From 1970 to 2000 period the area accreted about 220 m from southwest to northeast direction. Analyzing accreted database over different period it has been concluded that from Revisional settlement operation (1970) to 2016 it has been recorded that the mauza has increased about 1185 m from west to east. The newly formed landmass of the area hasn’t stable enough for permanent land use yet.

The paper gives information about both the genesis, and a survey of, the descriptors used for the documentation of plant genetic resources held in <I>ex situ </I>crop collections. The first international documentation standards were developed by the FAO in the 1950s. In 1974, a specific body for plant genetic resources, the IBPGR (International Board for Plant Genetic Resources), was established within the FAO. Since the 1970s, the descriptor lists for main crop collections have been developed, including passport descriptor sets. For the most part, the passport descriptors were common to all crops, with only slight differences. In 1997, the first attempt to create a standard set of descriptors resulted in 24 passport descriptors developed by FAO and IPGRI (International Plant Genetic Resources Institute) working in cooperation. In 2001, the official Multi-Crop Passport Descriptor list (MCPD) was published, including a revised standard set of 28 descriptors. The European <I>ex situ </I>crop catalogue (EURISCO) enlarged the standard set of passport descriptors by adding 6 additional fields in 2002; and another 2 new descriptors were added in November of 2008. A global level of data compatibility is preferred; therefore projects aimed at world-wide utilization and standardization of systems, such as GRINGlobal, and Accession-Level Information System (ALIS), are supported.

Monitoring Activity

Change is a constant in Australia’s rangelands. Appropriate management of this change requires a sound knowledge of drivers (e.g. climate variability, livestock grazing), their impacts on natural resources (state and trend), socio-economic outcomes, and how these feed back through learning and adaptive management to affect drivers and their impacts. Information is required at scales from enterprise to national, with regional and broader level information serving to influence rangelands governance through institutional arrangements, policy and funding programs. The Australian Collaborative Rangelands Information System (ACRIS) collates and analyses data from national sources and from its State and Territory jurisdictional partners to track and understand change at regional to national scales. ACRIS has recently reported changes between 1992 and 2005 in several biophysical and socio-economic themes at bioregional resolution. This paper describes the processes used to collate and analyse the often disparate data, to synthesise information across data types and to integrate emergent higher order information across drivers, impacts and outcomes to provide more complete understanding of change. Data gaps and inconsistencies were a major challenge, and we illustrate how some of these issues were addressed by using indicators to report changes in biodiversity. ACRIS now needs to foster increased coordinated monitoring activity and develop its reporting capacity to become the valued information system for Australia’s rangelands. We propose that future improvements will be best structured within a hierarchically nested framework that provides consistent overarching data at national scale relevant to the variety of rangeland values (e.g. change in ground cover) but focuses on regionally-relevant ecosystem services, and their appropriate measures, at the regional scale. A key challenge is to implement consistent and systematic methods for monitoring biodiversity within this hierarchical framework, given limited institutional resources. Finally, ACRIS needs to develop a dynamic web-based delivery system to enable more frequent and flexible reporting of interpreted change than is possible through periodic published reports.

This paper looks at information asymmetry at the board level and how lack of information has played a part in undermining the power of the board of directors. Information is power, and at board level, information is essential to keep the board knowledgeable about the failures and successes of the organization that it is supposed to govern. Although lack of information has become a popular excuse for boards, the mantra could –and should –be changing to, “Ignorance is no excuse” (Mueller, 1993). This paper explores some of these information system solutions that have the aim of resolving some of the problems of information asymmetry. Furthermore, three case studies are used to explore the problem of asymmetric information at board level and the how the boards are trying to solve the problem. The focus of the discussion is to a) describe how directors experience the information asymmetry and if they find it troublesome, b) how important information is for the control and strategy role of the board and c) find out how boards can minimize the problem of asymmetric information. The research is conducted through semi-structured interviews with directors, managers and accountants. This paper offers an interesting exploration into information, or the lack of information, at board level. It describes both from a theoretical and practical viewpoint the problem of information asymmetry at board level and how companies are trying to solve this problem. It is an issue that has only been lightly touched upon in the corporate governance literature but is likely to attract more attention and research in the future.

The Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) is an innovative distributed environment which is deployed through the use of grid computing technologiesin order to provide computing and storage resources to the LHC experimentsfor data processing and physics analysis. Following increasing demands of LHC computing needs toward high luminosity era, the experiments are engagdin an ambitious program to extend the capability of WLCG distributed environment, for instance including opportunistically used resources such as High-Performance Computers (HPCs), cloud platforms and volunteer computer. norder to be effectively used by the LHC experiments, all these diverse distributed resources should be described in detail. This implies easy service discovery of shared physical resources, detailed description of service configurations and experiment-specific data structures is needed. In this contribution, we present a high-level information component of a distributed computing environment, the Computing Resource Information Catalogue (CRIC) which aims to facilitate distributed computing operations for the LHC experiments and consolidate WLCG topology information. In addition, CRIC performs data validation and provides coherent view and topology descriptinto the LHC VOs for service discovery and configuration. CRIC represents teevolution of ATLAS Grid Information System (AGIS) into the common experiment independent high-level information framework. CRIC’s mission is to serve not just ATLAS Collaboration needs for the description of the distributed environment but any other virtual organization relying on large scale distributed infrastructure as well as the WLCG on the global scope. The contribution describes CRIC architecture, implementation of data model,collectors, user interfaces, advanced authentication and access control components of the system.
