Demographic pressure, the reduction of arable land and the instability of income generated by export crops have forced the people of Grand-Lahou to show more interest in fishing activities. Thus, the exploitation of water bodies is an important strategic and economic issue for the neighbouring populations. However, in recent years, this exploitation of aquatic resources has led to conflicts between operators. The aim of this article is to analyse the procedures for resolving these conflicts and to assess their effectiveness. The methodological approach has integrated field observations and analyses carried out on the basis of information collected through interviews with stakeholders. The results reveal various forms of conflict resolution with relative levels of effectiveness. This situation is a hindrance to the efficient use of Ivorian aquatic areas. It is therefore desirable for the State to play its role by proposing more effective ways of managing these conflicts.

Twenty-six water bodies and 10 ponds were selected for this research. Anthropogenic loads were assessed according to pollution sources in individual water catchment basins. It was determined that 50% of the tested water bodies had Ntotal values that did not correspond to the good and very good ecological status classes, and 20% of the tested water bodies had Ptotal values that did not correspond to the good and very good ecological status classes. The lake basins and ponds received the largest amounts of pollution from agricultural sources with total nitrogen at 1554.13 t/year and phosphorus at 1.94 t/year, and from meadows and pastures with total nitrogen at 9.50 t/year and phosphorus at 0.20 t/year. The highest annual load of total nitrogen for lake basins on average per year was from agricultural pollution from arable land (98.85%), and the highest total phosphorus load was also from agricultural pollution from arable land (60%).

After a historical and cultural grounding of Prosper of Aquitaine's lex orandi, lex credendi and of Anselm of Canterbury's notion that theology is fides quarens intellectum, this article examines the importance of constructing an Episcopal Latinoa theology that is clearly validated by the academy but whose most important validation comes from the people who are the church. Teología de conjunto (or teología en conjunto ) demands and expects theologians’ grounding location to be within lo cotidiano of our people. To theologize latinamente, therefore, is a movement, a contextual perspective, and a methodological approach to theologizing within Christian theology, distinguished by a cultural, critical, contextual, justice-seeking, and noninnocent interpretation of Scripture, tradition and doctrine, society and church, and history. It is intent on acknowledging and honoring Latinoa cultures, histories, and stories as legitimate and necessary sources of Christian theology.

Abstract Between 1984 and 2017, 1,388 Black Kites were recorded, mostly in lowlands with 70% of observations made at Dravsko polje. They were observed from sea level to around 1,600 m a.s.l. with an average elevation of 271 m a.s.l. The species was present in Slovenia from mid-March to early December with indistinct spring and autumn migrations. The highest number of observations was recorded in May. The Black Kite was observed in 71 out of 238 10x10 km grid squares in Slovenia (29.8%), with more observations around known breeding sites and at sites with higher observer effort. Both the number of observations and the number of probable and confirmed breeding pairs increased. In 2011–2018, 10 breeding pairs were found at 7 sites (3–7 per year). Additionally, 11 probable breeding pairs at 9 sites (0–6 pairs per year) were found. The breeding population in 2011–2018 is estimated at 10–21 pairs with an average breeding density of 0.3–0.9 breeding pairs per 100 km2. The highest density was recorded at Dravsko polje with 0.6–2.2 breeding pairs per 100 km2. If possible breeding (breeding attempts) were also taken into consideration, the estimate would be up to five breeding pairs higher. The species was recorded at known breeding sites in most years after the breeding was confirmed. Black Kites were observed closer to larger water bodies and to rubbish tips than expected by chance. More Black Kites were recorded in areas with a lower percentage of forest and arable land and a higher percentage of meadows, settlements and wetlands.

The Impact

Central Chernozem is one of the largest agricultural regions in Russia. As a result of the long period of natural resources use the anthropogenic load on agricultural lands is increasing. The result of agricultural nature management is the increase of land degradation processes. Voronezh Region has a high agro-climatic potential, most of the territory is occupied by agricultural land, arable land prevails among them. Soil degradation is the most acute problem. There is a need to assess the impact of agricultural natural resources use on land resources of the region. Modular coefficients for assessment of geochemical impact of agriculture and animal husbandry on agricultural systems are proposed. The developed factor is a tool for identification of negative land use processes and environmental problems. The article deals with the issues of ecologically oriented, scientifically grounded strategy of agricultural nature management. Ecological approach to assessment of soil quality in the future will develop a strategy for balanced land use. The article has a scientific and practical character and is aimed at the development of methods of ecological assessment of soil quality. The proposed methodological approach identifies destructive processes in soils. For ecologically oriented strategy of development of regions it is important to define maximum allowable agricultural loads for preservation of sustainable environment.

Kegiatan budidaya pada setiap prosesnya menghasilkan limbah yang dihasilkan dari sisa-sisa pakan dan kotoran yang berasal dari ikan budidaya, terutama budidaya Ikan Nila yang merupakan salah satu jenis ikan tawar yang sudah di budidaya secara komersial oleh masyarakat indonesia. Penelitian dilaksanakan pada Mei-Juni 2017 di Laboratorium Pengelolaan Sumberdaya Ikan dan Lingkungan, Departemen Sumberdaya Akuatik, Fakultas Perikanan dan Ilmu Kelautan, Universitas Diponegoro. Pada penelitian ini ditambahkan enzim pada pakan ikan, suatu enzim yang mengandung protease, lipase, amilase, pepsin, tripsin, dan kemotripsin dalam dosis yang sudah ditentukan untuk memaksimalkan proses pencernaan. Ikan Nila yang digunakan  berukuran 7-9 cm dipelihara di dalam akuarium dengan kapasitas 2 ekor Ikan Nila dalam 1 akuarium dengan volume air 9 l. Tujuan penelitian untuk mengetahui konsentrasi amoniak, nitrit, dan sulfida (H2S) dan membandingkan pengaruh pemberian enzim dengan konsentrasi yang berbeda didalam pakan terhadap konsentrasi amoniak, nitrit, dan sulfida (H2S). Metode yang digunakan adalah metode eksperimental skala laboratorium. Desain penelitian berdasarkan rancangan acak lengkap (RAL), dengan menggunakan lima perlakuan yaitu dengan perbedaan konsentrasi enzim. Setiap perlakuan dilakukan 3x pengulangan. Analisis data menggunakan uji two way anova. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemberian enzim dengan konsentrasi berbeda tidak berpengaruh nyata, lama waktu pemeliharaan berpengaruh nyata terhadap konsentrasi amoniak, dan sulfida, kombinasi dari keduanya tidak berpengaruh nyata terhadap konsentrasi amoniak, nitrit, dan sulfida. Cultivation activities in each process produce waste generated from the remnants of feed and feces from the fish cultivated, especially the cultivation of tilapia which is one type of fresh bonds that have been cultivated commercially by the people of Indonesian. The research was conducted in May-June 2017 at the Fish and Environmental Resource Management Laboratory, Aquatic Resources Department, Fisheries and Marine Science Faculty, Diponegoro University. The materials on this research are combining the fish feed with an enzime which contains protease, lipase, amylase, pepsin, trypsin, and chemotrypsin in prescribed doses to maximised the digestion process. Tilapia as research object has length of 7 to 9 cm and its kept in an aquarium with capacity (water volumes) of 9 ls which contains of 2 tilapias. The purposes of this research are to know the concentration of ammonia, nitrite and sulfide (H 2 S) in and to compare the effect of the enzyme provision with different concentration in fish feed with the concentration of ammonia, nitrite and sulfide (H 2 S). This research used laboratory-scale experimental method. The study design was based on Complete Randomized Design (RAL), using five treatments with different enzyme concentrations. Each treatments was done by three repetitions. The data was analysed using two-way ANOVA test. The results showed that enzyme with different concentration had no significant effect, maintenance time had significant effect on ammonia concentration, and sulfide, the combination of both did not significantly affect the ammonia, nitrite and sulphide concentration.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Developing countries have to be very cautious in utilizing the land as they affect the food security, cause damage to environment and an ecological imbalance might be created in the process of establishing industries to raise the standard of living of the people from poverty. India, as a developing nation with sufficient amount of arable land at present is producing surplus food which is sufficient for all the population, in the recent decades loosing productive agricultural land without proper scientific solution for industries. This is a major concern because it causes not only food scarcity but dependency on the other nations even though we have lot of industries. We need to maintain a balance between Agriculture and manufacturing sectors to have smooth run of the country’s economy. The purpose of the study is to assess the land use changes in the areas for recent years which have potential for industrial establishment through land suitability analysis (LSA) to emphasize both agriculture and industries with sustainable development. Geographic information Systems (GIS) and Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) are combined to distinctly identify the suitable zones for industries. Six criteria in Analytical hierarchy Process (AHP) and nine criteria in Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) are evaluated by spatial analysis using ArcGIS software. Considerable amount of productive agricultural land is diverted to non agricultural purposes during last 12 years i.e., from 2004&amp;ndash;2016, which is at first taken for industrial establishment. Results obtained by the methodology we followed have given considerable accuracy by cross checking the previously established industries with suitability regions. Thus GIS and MCDM can assist the policy makers and planning officials to get a better overview with the resources they possess to carry forward with less damage to environment and agricultural land.</p>

Border Conflicts

The perennial land dispute of Ibime Water Trench, a trans-boundary land area between Ikot Idaha and Osuk Ediene Communities in Ikono Local Government Area of Akwa Ibom State has led to discord, hatred and dissonance over several years in the past. Despite repeated efforts by both parties to identify and resolve the underlying issues and contain the problem, it was found to have recurred after a period of seeming calm. This paper therefore aims at investigating and identifying the underlying factors that trigger recurrent trans-border conflicts between Ikot Idaha and Osuk Ediene Communities and the application of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), using the Mediation Technique in conflict resolution. Data were elicited through the indept interview method and analysed using the content analysis method. Result shows that through the Mediation process, both disputing parties were able to resolve their differences and have been living and sharing in the Ibime water resources together and peacefully for over thirty years. In line with the theory of Conflict Resolution, the development of Impact Sensitive Outcome Mapping as a form of monitoring and evaluation was adopted to serve as an intervention to proffer a lasting solution for a peaceful coexistence among the people of both communities.
