Deep Crisis

Balanced and rational use of land resources, efficient reproduction of degraded lands, restoration of soils’ fertility and providing of resources-environmental security of human activity on this basis belong to priority issues nowadays. It is caused by the fact that almost all land resources of Ukraine are in deep crisis, the country faced grand losses and the health of the country’s population is in danger. Extensive use of Ukrainian lands causes great economic, social and environmental losses. Irrational use and increasing of anthropogenic pressure level on the environment cause significant changes of its ecological state. Therefore, conducting an assessment of the total ecological situation of land resources in the Kamianka-Buzka district indicates the relevance of the work. In the course of the study, materials from the form 6-earth and stock materials of land resources department in the Kamianka-Buzka district of Lviv region were used. The structure of land fund in the Kamianka-Buzka district of Lviv region has been analyzed by categories of its use and intended purpose. The basic ecological problems of the condition and violations in the use of land resources of the district are discovered, and also measures for their effective use are proposed. Сoefficient of environmental sustainability, the destabilization factor and the total ecological situation of land resources are calculated. On the basis of these calculations an estimation of the total ecological situation of land resources on territories by administrative formations within the limits of Kamianka-Buzka district of the Lviv region is carried out.

In almost all industrially developed regions of the Russian Federation, the soil is contaminated with heavy metals (HM) often in concentrations which exceed limits of safety. This contamination causes degradation of agricultural land, which underlines the importance of the complex continuous monitoring of the dynamics of on-going changes in urban ecosystems against the background of natural processes. Quantitative assessment of the environmental sustainability of the soil according to the biological indicators of its condition is of enormous importance, in particular the balance of microbial carbon in soils, which are under varying degrees of anthropogenic pressure. Experiments were carried out to determine the phytoremediation potential of the spring rapeseed plants on soil contaminated with heavy metals. The aim of the study was to assess the respiratory activity of albic luvisol at different levels of its contamination with zinc and nickel under the conditions of a growing experiment with spring rapeseed plants. The experimental data on the respiratory activity of soil artificially contaminated with zinc and nickel in the dose range of 400-800 and 30-60 mg kg-1 of soil respectively, showed that microbial activity had a strong positive correlation with the presence of spring rapeseed plants in the vessels and weak correlation on the presence of toxic elements in the soil. According to the respiratory activity of albic luvisol, it was found that in the first 13 days of vegetation, cultivation of spring rapeseed plants had a positive effect on the sustainability of soil microbiocenosis to complex pollution with zinc and nickel.

<p>Purun is a typical plant that grow in peatland area that has important functions for people living in peatland area. The availability of purun is now decreasing due to changes in land management and environmental destruction. Almost all of the plantation commodities in the peatlands area, management of peatlands in the forestry, agriculture, plantation and fisheries sectors apply exploitative and pragmatic methods, while ignoring environmental sustainability. Furthermore, environmental damage also occurs due to disasters such as forest and land fires that often occur in peatland areas in Indonesia. One of the damages happen to peatland area is the damage and scarcity of purun. As users and beneficiaries of purun, women become the affected group that face  the impact of peatland destruction. This paper describes the experiences and efforts of women in peatland areas to restore land and restore the existence of purun in their villages.</p><p> </p>

The Obscure Features Hypothesis (OFH) for innovation states that a two-step process undergirds almost all innovative solutions: (1) notice an infrequently observed or new (i.e., obscure) feature of the problem and (2) construct an interaction involving the obscure feature that produces the desired effects to solve the problem. The OFH leads to a systematic derivation of innovation-enhancing techniques by engaging in two tasks. First, we developed a 32-category system of the types of features possessable by a physical object or material. This Feature Type Taxonomy (FTT) provides a panoramic view of the space of features and assists in searches for the obscure ones. Second, we are articulating the many cognitive reasons that obscure features are overlooked and are developing countering techniques for each known reason. We present the implications and techniques of the OFH, as well as indicate how software can assist innovators in the effective use of these innovation-enhancing techniques.
