Agri-Environmental Indicators: a Systemic Review to Assess New EU Green Deal Policies

Every intervention of planning, implementation, and monitoring of agricultural and agri-environmental policies requires assessment tools that should have the characteristics of relevance, completeness, interpretability, data quality, efficiency, and overlapping. Despite the extensive selection of bibliographies and numerous projects designed to develop agri-environmental indicators necessary for assessing the sustainability of new policies, it is difficult to have an integrated and updated set of indicators available, which can be an effective and practical application tool to assists policymakers, researchers, and actors in policy design, monitoring and impact assessment. Particularly, such need is pressing to face the new environmental challenges imposed by the upcoming European Union Green Deal on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) post 2023. This study, therefore, aims to fill this gap by proposing a selection methodology and different pools of agri-environmental indicators differentiated based on a scale approach (crop-farm-district-region). Furthermore, we have attempted to validate our approach by quantifying selected indicators for a specific evaluation necessity, represented in this case by an assessment of environmental impact of land use change induced by CAP greening requirements in the Northern Italy context. Results of this validation show original crops’ impacts comparison, but also highlight great knowledge gaps in the available literature.

Molecular Landscapes of Gastric Pre-Neoplastic and Pre-Invasive Lesions

Gastric carcinoma (GC) represents one of the most common and most lethal malignancies worldwide. The histopathological characterization of GC precursor lesions has provided great knowledge about gastric carcinogenesis, with the consequent introduction of effective strategies of primary and secondary prevention. In recent years, a large amount of data about the molecular events in GC development is emerging, flanking the histomorphological descriptions. In this review, we describe the landscape of molecular alterations in gastric pre-invasive lesions with a glance at their potential use in the diagnostic and therapeutic decision-making process.

A Study of Sustainable Development Regarding to Value Education

Development is very important for human life. It is very necessary for civilization also but it should be sustainable and welfarist for all organisms. This research paper focused on how to achieve sustainable development through value education, why values so important for sustainable development & how to give values education for sustainable development. The researcher completed 14 days refresher course on sustainable development, during this period listened many resource parsons with great knowledge on various aspect of sustainable development and read many books, reports, articles/papers on sustainable development and reached this conclusion that sustainable development cannot be achieved without values.

The Kidney-Heart Connection in Obesity

There is a strong relationship between the kidney and the heart, where if one of these organs fails, so does the other, in the so-called cardiorenal syndrome (CRS). Besides, there are also interactions with the rest of the body leading to a metabolic state that establishes a feedback loop that is perpetuated. The CRS is characterized by hemodynamic changes, activation of neuro-humoral systems, natriuretic peptides, and changes in mineral metabolism. In this scenario, the kidney and heart, connected by a dysfunctional endothelium, inevitably fail. In obesity, this syndrome is exacerbated due to the complications of adipose tissue dysfunction, in the so-called cardiorenal metabolic syndrome (CRMetS). Obesity promotes adipose tissue dysfunction because it exceeds lipid storage capacity and leads to a lipotoxic state, characterized by inflammation, hypertension, insulin resistance and dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, and hyperuricemia, among others, that affect different organs other than the adipose tissue. In addition, the pro-inflammatory gut microbiota present in obese patients releases uremic toxins, contributing to oxidative stress and inflammation, perpetuating and accelerating the progression of this pathology. In this article, we describe the contribution of obesity, the factors and mechanisms implicated in the development of the CRMetS. Despite the great knowledge about the CRS, more research is needed to characterize the CRMetS given the global obesity epidemic.

Understanding the Lack of Team Identification Research in Women’s Sport

For decades, scholars have sought to understand individuals’ identification with sport teams. As a result, we have great knowledge of how team identification influences a variety of attitudinal and behavioral out-comes as well as the impact of identifying with a team on an individual’s sense of self. However, nearly all studies of team identification have dealt with men’s sport rather than women’s sport. The authors addressed this issue in the current study by using the Delphi technique to solicit expert opinion on the lack of team identification research in women’s sport, including reasons for the lack of research, the extent to which context matters in studying team identification, and potential contributions to the team identification literature by examining the concept in women’s sport settings. The authors conclude by discussing experts’ opinions, the extent to which some views may underpin the lack of research, and implications for future studies of team identification.

KNOWING THE ARAB PATRIMONIAL CORPUSES’ INTRODUCTIONS BETWEEN TRANSLATION, CRITICISM, AND CREATIVITY

The heritage corpuses’ introductions have a great importance, since their authors consider them as media for showing their trends and ideas and their sides of creativity, which are the knowledge certainties setting their method of writing with several characteristics including their objective and subjective content’s styles and the formal methodological scientific disciplines. If we come back to the Soulaiman Elboustani’s translation of Homer’s Iliad’s introduction, we find that it’s a stand-alone writing, which consists of 197 pages, in which the author addresses the criticism principles and the poetic recognising rules with deep analysis, definite accuracy, great knowledge, and addressing several topics of a great importance, after identifying the epics gender and determining whether it’s known for the Arab people or not, identifying the Homeric epic and commending it, as well as confirming its affiliation to Homer. In this research, We’ve addressed the issue of the senses’ phonetic transcription through what’s tackled by Elboustani in reviewing detailly the relationship between the line breaks, the objectives, and meanings. It was the issue addressed by numerous Arab and western researchers since antiquity.

Coping with difficulties faced in pre-hospital healthcare amid pandemics

EMS (Call number: 112 in Turkey) encompasses services provided by professional healthcare teams in case of diseases and injuries emerging acutely, accessed expediently following the event, using specialized equipment as necessary. The main purpose of this study is to determine the difficulties faced by 112 pre-hospital healthcare workers (HCWs) in the transfer of patients to hospital, during the COVID-19 pandemic period, and to examine ways to cope with these difficulties, with a case study method that examines unique cases. The study group of the research consists of Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs) (n = 15; 30.6%), paramedics (n = 19; 38.8%) and doctors (n = 15; 30.6%). The forty-nine participants who comprise the study group were selected from ‘HCWs who worked in the ambulance service during the transportation of patients with COVID-19 to hospital’. Based on the narratives of the participants, two main themes were determined as difficulties experienced and strategies of coping with these difficulties. Under the theme of difficulties experienced, three subthemes and a total of thirty-one codes were created as problems originating from society, the system and the employee himself. The theme of the strategies used to cope with the difficulties experienced was determined under three subthemes; professional equipment and personal precautions, professional measures and system support. A total of twelve codes were created. The pandemic period has been a time when boundaries and durability have been questioned. The experience obtained during this period is a great knowledge base for future global and mass epidemics, attacks and disasters.

The Elite – Authentic or Restored

Knowledge is always the specialised one because reasonable and intelligent man realises that one is unable to have great knowledge in all fields. But knowledge is not a producer itself, A leader can make knowledgeable people productive. The beautiful ideal of a moral and professional leader is, as if, the best image of a manager. If we have to describe man of today from the position of such juxtaposition, the new type of self-confidence comes to the fore.
