Vaikka kestävän kehityksen tavoitteet ovat keskeinen osa nykyisiä opetussuunnitelmauudistuksia, hakevat ympäristöpedagogiset käytännöt yhä monessa oppiaineessa muotoaan. Tarkastelen peruskoulun ja lukion äidinkielen ja kirjallisuuden oppiaineen sisällä tapahtuvan kirjallisuuden opetuksen ympäristöpedagogisia mahdollisuuksia. Tuon 2000-luvun filosofisen ja ihmistieteellisen tutkimuksen materiaalisen käänteen vuoropuheluun monilukutaidon pedagogiikan kanssa. Aineistonani luen Rachel Hope Allisonin "mykkää” sarjakuvaromaania I’m not a plastic bag, joka kuvaa ihmisperäisen jätteen päätymistä Tyyneen valtamereen. Alkaa ekologisten muutosten ketju, jossa pelkästään ihmisen toiminta ei ole maailmaa muuttavaa; myös ei-inhimillinen toimii ja tuottaa toimijuutta. Tavoitteenani on tuoda kirjallisuuden opetuksen käyttöön tietoa siitä, miten ei-inhimillistä, materiaalista ja vaikeasti kielen tasolla tulkittavaa toimijuutta on mahdollista lukea. Tuloksia on mahdollista hyödyntää ympäristöpedagogisen kirjallisuuden opetuksen kehittämisessä.   How reading waste expands the possibilities of literature teaching? “Non-interpretable” matter and its reading in the development of environmental pedagogy literature teaching Abstract Although education for sustainable development is a key part of current curriculum reforms, many subjects do not yet have enough environmental pedagogy practices. I study how environmental pedagogy can be put into practice in compulsory basic education and general upper secondary school literature teaching within the subject of Finnish language and literature. I want to bring the material turn within 21st century philosophical and humanistic research into a dialogue with multiliteracy/multiliteracies pedagogy. I read Rachel Hope Allison’s “mute” graphic novel I’m not a plastic bag, which represents human waste ending up in the Pacific Ocean. A chain of ecological changes begins, in which human activity alone is not changing the world; also non-human acts and produces agency. My aim is to bring forth an understanding of how non-human, material and linguistically difficult-to-interpret agency can be read within literature teaching. The results can be used in developing environmental pedagogy literature teaching. Keywords: Material turn, multiliteracy/multiliteracies, environmental pedagogy literature teaching

Decadal Climate

When temporally smoothed data are used for the period 1925 to 1985 there is a close inverse statistical relationship acting at an interdecadal timescale between the Pacific Northwest (PNW) air temperatures and Coho salmon catch off the coast of Washington and Oregon. This relationship is now well known, although not fully explained, but at the time of its discovery in 1994 it was part of advances being made by several research groups on interdecadal-scale climate/ecological changes in the PNW (Greenland 1995). The discovery and later, related findings may be usefully examined within the context of the framework questions of this book (see chapter 1) because it provides a very interesting example of climate variability and ecosystem response found, in part, by Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) investigators. The logical progression for this chapter is first to review a little of the relationship between Coho salmon and climate and then to explain how a study at one LTER site led to a finding with regional implications. An update of the findings at interdecadal-scale climate/ecological changes in the PNW is then appropriate, followed by a discussion of the topic with the framework questions of this book. The PNW is defined, for the purposes of this chapter, as the area of Washington and Oregon west of the crest of the Cascade Range. The term decadal is used loosely in this chapter to refer to changes that focus on time periods of about 10 to 30 years in length. Salmon live part of their lives in terrestrial, freshwater environments and part in marine, saltwater environments. The salmon life history starts with fertilized eggs remaining in gravel in freshwater stream beds and hatching after 1–3 months. One to five months later, fry emerge in the spring or summer. Juvenile fish are in freshwater from a few days to 4 years, depending on species and locality. After the juveniles change to smolts, they can migrate to the ocean, usually in spring or early summer, often taking advantage of streamflows driven by snowmelt. The fish spend 1–4 years in the ocean and then return to their freshwater home stream to spawn and die. More specifically, the typical life cycle for Oregon Coho spans 3 years (18 months in freshwater and 18 months in the ocean).

On March 11, 2011, at 2:46 p.m. local time, an earthquake with an epicenter 130 kilometers east of Sendai off the Pacific coast of northern Japan shook the Tohoku region more violently than any tremor in a thousand years. The quake was approximately 9.0 in magnitude, and it in turn triggered a set of tsunami hurtling across the Pacific Ocean, striking first the coast of Tohoku with waves of unprecedented height and strength, along a coastline stretching roughly 400 kilometers. In Fukushima, 180 kilometers west-southwest of the epicenter, 15-meter waves roared over seawalls supposedly protecting a nuclear reactor built just a few meters from the ocean's edge, starting a chain of events that resulted in an explosion the following day that began the release of radioactive materials (which continues still), sparking high anxiety if not palpable panic in Tokyo, the center of which is 240 kilometers to the south-southwest of the Fukushima nuclear complex.

Abstract The leading patterns of variability of the monthly mean Northern Hemisphere (NH) sea level pressure (SLP) field, as derived from empirical orthogonal teleconnection (EOT) analysis of a 93-yr (1920–2012) record of NOAA–CIRES 20th Century Reanalyses, are presented and discussed, with emphasis on wintertime patterns. The analysis yields nine or more highly reproducible wintertime hemispheric EOTs, the first six of which closely resemble EOF1 or EOF2 in their respective sectors of the hemisphere. Collectively, the first nine wintertime patterns account for 70% of the variance of NH SLP, 40% of the variance of NH surface air temperature (SAT), and 52% of the variance of the time series of NH-mean SAT poleward of 20°N. Wintertime EOT1 corresponds to the NH annular mode (NAM) and EOT2 corresponds to the SLP expression of the Pacific–North America pattern. The remaining wintertime EOT patterns are monopoles arranged like the links of a chain wrapped around the primary center of action of the annular mode. The NH summertime and Southern Hemisphere patterns are arranged in a similar manner. The continental NH wintertime patterns exhibit strong temperature anomalies of reversed polarity to their respective SLP monopoles. The interannual variability of wintertime EOTs 3–9 and summertime EOTs 2–9 is dominated by sampling fluctuations. Over the 93-yr record, the more prominent continental wintertime patterns exhibit weak trends toward falling SLP and rising SAT, particularly over Russia and Alaska. The interpretation of shorter-term trends is more ambiguous.

Education Delivery

<p>The PRIDE Project was conceived as a way to bolster the awareness, coordination and delivery of basic education in the Pacific region. The project‟s mandate was to enhance the capacity of Pacific education agencies to effectively plan and deliver quality basic education through formal and non-formal means. The project focused on the provision of technical assistance as well as support and advice to build national capacities through three key areas. First, the development of effective and realistic education strategic plans, secondly the implementation of plans (through sub-project activities) and thirdly sharing best practice through online networks, a resource centre and regional and sub- regional workshops. In total the project received €8 million from the European Union Development Fund and NZD$5 million from NZAID.1 2 The project‟s concept was developed by Pacific Ministers of Education who believed many past educational aid initiatives had not delivered successful, relevant or sustainable results. PRIDE was therefore established as a project that would be housed and operated from within the Pacific region. Being based out of the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji, the project wanted to utilise and foster Pacific capacity, knowledge and ownership as much as possible. This thesis will explore The PRIDE Project‟s activities within the region. Discussion will focus on why the mandate of sector planning was chosen, and how it has many similarities to sector wide approaches. Investigation into PRIDE within the Solomon Islands will demonstrate that the project had an overoptimistic mandate which struggled to make any considerable achievements in the everyday delivery of basic education. The regional dynamics of this project will be analysed against local priorities and agendas, ultimately showing that they can sit uncomfortably next to each other. Discussion will highlight how ideas of complete Pacific ownership will continue to be a challenge for the region as capacity and infrastructure is limited. In addition, development projects need to move beyond top level sector planning to implementation and delivery if any significant changes to education provision are to be made.</p>

INTRODUCTIONThe herring Clupea harengus L. and sprat Sprattus sprattus (L.) are physostomatous teleosts with narrow ducts connecting the swimbladder to both the gut and cloaca. With other clupeoids these two species were of great interest to the anatomists of previous generations because of the further tubular connexions between the swimbladder and air-filled otic bullae close to the labyrinth of the inner ear. Together with the Ostariophysi, which have a chain of Weberian ossicles between the swimbladder and the inner ear, the clupeoids were thought to have enhanced hearing compared with many other teleosts as a result of coupling the ear to the swimbladder.Despite such interest in the system the earlier literature is very fragmented, with the descriptions ranging over at least a dozen clupeoid species, and much of the work was done on fairly advanced juvenile or on adult fish. Ridewood (1891) examined the swimbladder-inner ear relationship in adult herring, pilchard Clupea pilchardus, sprat, shad C. alosa, twaite C. finta and anchovy Engraulis encrasicholus; Tracy (1920) made a similar study of the American Atlantic clupeoids – the shad Alosa sapidissima, alewife Pomolobus pseudoharengus, summer herring P. aestivalis, fall herring P. mediocris and menhaden Brevoortia tyrannus and O'Connell (1955) of the Pacific sardine Sardinops caerulea and anchovy Engraulis mordax. Wohlfahrt (1936) considered the total swimbladder-inner ear-lateral line relationship in 100–120 mm pilchards, recognizing the much less obvious connexion between the perilymph and the lateral line through a membrane in the skull. The presence of such a connexion had been suggested earlier by Tracy (1920).

The land slug, Laevicaulis alteis very commonly found in and around shahada tehsils. These are hermaphrodite and reproduce by cross fertilization. The annual reproductive cycle passes through three phases. The pre-reproductive phase is the preparatory phase in which accumulation of various nutritive molecules occurs.The preparatory phase occurs before onset of monsoon. The monsoon is the breeding phase in which availability of water and moisture in the environment influences the breeding activities.They lay about 22-26 eggs in a chain of mucus like jelly found in   humus or under any substratum and decaying leaves in and around moist area. Slugs in Dongargaon (Site-A) and Manarad (Site-B) habitat were observed in Shahada city area.The population correlation studies between alkaline nature (pH) of soil and number of slugs in Site-A is r²=0.13 and in Site-B isr²= 0.61.The rainfall in the season is the prime factor that might causes fluctuations in the breeding activities. The population and breeding behaviour of Laevicaulis alteis studiedin shahada area. In present work the correlation of ecological changes and breeding cycle of a land slug Laevicaulis alteis studied during June 2015 to March 2016.

Although the taro plant, Colocasia esculenta, is commonly consumed throughout Asia, Africa, the Pacific Islands, and the Caribbean, its consumption is less common in North America. Exposure to raw or improperly prepared taro is associated with oropharyngeal irritation and swelling and, rarely, airway obstruction. Although cases of toxicity in countries where taro is a staple have been reported, cases in North America have not been described. Here, two cases of oral irritation and swelling in BC residents who ate raw taro leaf, were reported to the British Columbia Drug and Poison Information Centre (BC DPIC) and triggered an investigation involving a regional health authority and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. Investigators found that the vendor, a chain of ethnic supermarkets, offered no point of sale preparation instructions. The vendor responded initially by posting instructional signage and later by voluntary product withdrawal. Analysis of BC DPIC records between 1 November 2011 and 20 December 2013 identified 11 cases of symptomatic taro exposure, five to the leaf and six to the corm. The two index cases and subsequent investigation illustrate how new foods or foods in unfamiliar contexts may present as calls to a poison control centre and that prevention requires collaboration among public and corporate stakeholders.

It is interesting to observe polymers at atomic size resolution. Some works have been reported for thorium pyromellitate by using a STEM (1), or a CTEM (2,3). The results showed that this polymer forms a chain in which thorium atoms are arranged. However, the distance between adjacent thorium atoms varies over a wide range (0.4-1.3nm) according to the different authors.The present authors have also observed thorium pyromellitate specimens by means of a field emission STEM, described in reference 4. The specimen was prepared by placing a drop of thorium pyromellitate in 10-3 CH3OH solution onto an amorphous carbon film about 2nm thick. The dark field image is shown in Fig. 1A. Thorium atoms are clearly observed as regular atom rows having a spacing of 0.85nm. This lattice gradually deteriorated by successive observations. The image changed to granular structures, as shown in Fig. 1B, which was taken after four scanning frames.
