Ocean Observations

Abstract. The United Nations proclaimed a decade of marine science for sustainable development (2021–2030) to develop a common framework that will ensure that ocean science can fully support countries in achieving the goal of sustainable development. Marine scientific understanding is fundamental to managing human activities that affect this environment, and ocean observations have a particularly important role in enhancing the knowledge base of our oceans. With this important task, scientists have the responsibility to act in an ethical way and apply all the fundamental principles described in the Cape Town statement: (a) ethical values, (b) social values and (c) cultural values (Peppoloni and Di Capua, 2017).This article is a fist attempt to highlight the core values applicable to ocean observation, which can then be improved and adopted as part of geoethics and the stewardship of the Earth system. It opens up avenues for reflection on geoethical implications in the field of ocean observation and suggests nine key principles that marine scientists could follow in their innovative research regarding open access to data, effectiveness, compliance with laws, environmental respect and nature conservation, reciprocal relation and cultural respect, equity and fairness, knowledge transfer, governance adapted to socio-ecological systems, and the use of animals in research.

The Mediterranean is grown up as one of the most developed tourist regions on the Earth, but development of mass tourism brought to the big saturation of space, causing environmental problems. As a consequence, today the Mediterranean is faced with a great challenge: how to preserve natural and cultural values as a basis for tourism industry and, in the same time, to keep high reputation on the globalized tourist market. In this work are analyzed the environmental effects of tourism and problems aggravating the concept of the sustainable development. There are also shown the key measures, that can enable development of tourism on a sustainable basis. Particular attention is dedicated to institutional and organizational factors having a crucial role in defining guidelines related to protection and sustainable usage of the Mediterranean Sea with its coastal area.

The United Nations has proclaimed a Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021-2030) to support efforts to reverse the cycle of decline in ocean health and gather ocean stakeholders worldwide behind a common framework that will ensure ocean science can fully support countries in creating improved conditions for sustainable development of the Ocean. The marine realm is the largest component of the Earth’s system that stabilizes climate and support life on Earth and human well-being. Scientific understanding of the ocean’s responses to pressures and management action is fundamental for sustainable development. Planet Earth is a natural example of a dynamic system with nonlinear processes that is in continuous change. The Earth’s radiation field is a single physical field (electromagnetic radiation) and the unifying factor of the Earth dynamical system. The Earth’s climate system is a natural environment that includes the atmosphere, the hydrosphere (oceans, seas, lakes, rivers), the cryosphere (land surface, snow, sea and mountain ice, etc.), and the biosphere that unites all living things. According to the hypothesis of R.I. Nigmatulin “Ocean is a dictator of climate”. H2O and CO2 are competing climate influences. In this article, we propose original author’s mathematical models for radiation blocks with hyperspectral data on absorption by atmospheric components. The new models are based on the development of the theory of the optical transfer operator and the method of influence functions in the theory of radiation transfer and Boltzmann equations, as well as the iterative method of characteristics with iteration convergence accelerations.

Krisis multidimensional yang termasuk di antaranya adalah pertumbuhan penduduk yang tidak terkontrol, polusi udara, krisis air, pemanasan global, tekanan hidup merupakan simbol masalah sosial dari proses pembangunan. Kita perlu merefleksikan secara kritis tentang tujuan dan nilai dalam pembangunan yang menghambat pembangunan. Dalam penelitian ini, penulis menggali nilai-nilai etika masyarakat pedalaman yang dapat digunakan sebagai inspirasi untuk menerapkan nilai-nilai dalam pembangunan sehingga dapat meminimalisir masalah-masalah yang muncul dari proses pembangunan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pengelompokan masyarakat pedalaman secara etika dapat digunakan sebagai alat untuk mengukur mentalitas pembangunan di Indonesia. Sebagai contoh etika Baduy, mencerminkan karakter sosial untuk mengembangkan pilar-pilar nilai budaya nasional, skenario pembangunan teknologi, keamanan pangan, kemerdekaan, gaya hidup, mengangkat ketertarikan masyarakat, fokus pada  program prioritas dan bangkit dari politik transaksi ekonomi dan kekuatan dalam pembangunan. Di sisi lain ada hal-hal yang bersifat merusak bagi etika masyarakat pedalaman di bawah tekanan atas lingkungan yang nyaman dan itu datang dari dalam maupun luar. The multi-dimentional crisis which includes the uncontrolled population explosion, the more dense settlement, the amount of pollutants in the earth, water crisis, global warming, and a lot of life pressure / stress are signs of the social problems of the development process. That is why, we need to reflect critically on the goals of development and values that discourage development. In this article, the author seeks to explore ethical values in traditional Baduy society which can be used as inspiration in applying development values that can minimize the problem raised by development. This research used qualitative approach. Research results show that community grouping in isolated community can be used ethically as a means to measure mentality of Indonesian development. For example the ethics of Baduy reflects social character to develop the pillars for national cultural values, technological development scenario, food security, independence, lifestyle, promoting the interests of society, focus on running projects, and away from the politics of economic transactions and power in development. On the other hand there are symptoms of the destruction of isolated communities ethics under the pretext of environmentally friendly development that comes from inside and outside.

Early career academics are the key agents for the sustainable development of higher education institutions. In China, those who were educated overseas and have returned to Chinese universities to seek academic positions are becoming a fast-growing group. Good research performance is critical to survive in the increasingly competitive environment in academia. Improving research performance requires an understanding of the factors that facilitate or inhibit research performance. In the light of Bronfenbrenner’s ecological systems theory, this study, using a mixed-method design (20 interviewees and 136 respondents), elaborates on a number of external factors affecting returned early career academics’ research performance. Understanding these factors is helpful for the building of a favorable environment that can improve the research performance of the returned early career academics, and hence the sustainable development of universities.

AbstractThis study examines Taiwan’s ecological footprint (EF) and its Overshoot Day from 2000 to 2018. The latest EF calculation method is used to determine the conversion rates and equivalent factors of bioproductive lands in each year to establish a database of Taiwan’s EF in that period. The results reveal that Taiwan’s EF was 7.69 gha/person in 2000, dropping steadily to 6.46 gha/person in 2018. Taiwan’s carbon footprint accounted for about 61% of Taiwan’s total EF, slightly higher than the world average (60%). The carbon footprint as a proportion of the total EF has been increasing annually. This study adopts social communication tools, such as the overshoot day and the earth clock, to promote sustainable development goals and climate change policy initiatives. Global Footprint Network (GFN) updates the overshoot day of each country in its database yearly, based on each country’s EF and biocapacity. Since Taiwan is not included in GFN, this study adopts the same method and finds out that Taiwan's Overshoot Day in 2018 was March 14th, meaning that on March 14th, 2018, Taiwan exhausted all of the biological resources that its bioproductive lands can regenerate in the year. If the global population lived like Taiwanese, four Earths would be required to provide the resources used. This result not only reflects the consumption of natural resources in Taiwan, but also indicates that Taiwan should focus on sustainable development and reduce that consumption.

Human beings are considered as the most intellectual living beings in this Universe because they are able to cope with all the natural resources for their personal needs and preserving the things as well. Due to the growing population and immense using of resources, the things which we get from the nature are being destroyed by using in improper way. Our common home: the Earth is now in crisis as a result of limited awareness, egotism and understanding about the real values of nature and natural resources. In this problematic situation, Sustainable Development (SD) is emerged as a window of hope and later Education for Sustainable Developed (ESD) is appeared to promote the SD. However, if the knowledge is not transformed into behavior and practical life, the knowledge will be nothing or the meaningless.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/jtd.v1i0.13086 Journal of Training and Development Vol.1 2015: 21-26

The article on the basis of the ecological value of reflection the concept of sustainable development and Hellenistic concepts is conceptual and methodological improvement of health saving competence of Physical Education teachers in the conditions of post-graduate education. There are presented methodological ways of greening of health and fitness technologies and identified opportunities for ecologically oriented their use by the teacher. Based on ecophilic interpretation of Hellenistic ideas are developed methodological concepts “Tellusantropo convergence” of the “Arete of the earth”, “Tellusantropo harmonization”, “Astoria of the Earth”, “Tellusantropo reflection”. Cultural, educational and technological sense of these concepts is existential axiological and ecophilic-oriented representation and interpretation the idea of sustainable development with the aim of using them as a Physical Education teacher in the educational health saving and fitness technologies and practices. In order to form a value relation to the Earth, to develop the “Arete of the Earth” and to unveil the “Existential of the Earth”, we used the value-oriented reflexive technique of the “Epistrophe of the Earth”. The method of “Epistrophe of the Earth” with its further improvement and testing can be used to form a valuable attitude to the Earth, actualization of environmental issues, formation of psychological health of participants in the educational process and actualization of the concept of sustainable development.

Phytochemicals released by plant species into the environment inhibit the emergence and growth of surrounding plants by changing their metabolic activity or impacting on their soil community mutualists referred as allelopathy. Allelochemicals are the compounds produced from the secondary metabolism of higher plants and microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria and viruses and affect on many processes in ecosystems and agro-ecosystems.  In complex agro-ecosystem both crop and weed shows allelophathic effect. Allelochemicals from crop plant affect on other crop and weed while allelochemicals from weed effect on other weed and crop, beside this both weed and crop also shows autoallelopathy. Hence scientific and proper estimation of allelopathic plant, their allelochemical and susceptible weed species is necessary through advance research. This is helps to increase agricultural production, reduction in cost of pesticides, environment hazard, and way for the sustainable weed management and sustainable development of agricultural production as well as ecological systems.
