Microscopy And Imaging

ABSTRACT In this Spotlight, we hear first-hand accounts from five scientists and educators who use microscopy and imaging to engage, entertain, educate and inspire new audiences with science and the field of developmental biology in particular. The ‘voices’ that follow each convey each authors' own personal take on why microscopy is such a powerful tool for capturing the minds, and the hearts, of scientists, students and the public alike. They discuss how microscopy and imaging can reveal new worlds, and improve our communication and understanding of developmental biology, as well as break down barriers and promote diversity for future generations of scientific researchers.

LABURPENA: Gaur egun, mendien kudeaketa eta baso-politika ingurumeneko eta jasangarritasuneko irizpideetan oinarritzen dira, eta lurraldeko baliabide natural nagusiaren aprobetxamenduari buruzko erabakiak bideratzen dituzte. Hori dela-eta, lurralde-antolamendu ororen markoan, nekazaritzaren, basogintzaren eta abeltzaintzaren arloan jarduten duten eragile publiko eta pribatu guztiek egindako plangintza oinarrizkoa izango da hurrengoa bermatzeko: egun mendia behar bezala aprobetxatuz etorkizuneko belaunaldiei balio sozial eta ekonomiko bera transmititzen dien kudeaketa. RESUMEN: La gestión de los montes y la política forestal se fundamentan, actualmente, en criterios medioambientales y de sostenibilidad que dirigen las decisiones sobre el aprovechamiento del principal recurso natural del territorio. Por ello, en el marco de toda ordenación territorial, la planificación mediante la participación de todos los agentes públicos y privados que operan en el ámbito agrosilvopastoral se erige en instrumento esencial de las orientaciones garantizadoras de una gestión que, aprovechando óptimamente el monte en el presente, transmita ese mismo valor social y económico a las futuras generaciones. ABSTRACT: The management of forests and the forest policy are presently based on enviromental and sustainability criteria which are addressed to the decisions regarding the exploitation of the main natural resource of the territory. Because of it, in the framework of the whole territorial planning, the planning by the participation of all the public and private agents that operate within the agrarian, forest and herding field becomes an essential instrument of the guidelines that guaratee the management which using ideally the forest nowadays give that same social and economic value to the future generations.

LEGAL STATUS OF CULTURAL PROPERTY AND WORKS OF ART IN THE PRL Summary The article deals with the legal status of works of art and cultural property in the Polish legislation during communism period. Classifying those objects as private property was considered as a very difficult task, because of their material value and the public interest in saving them for future generations. The strict limitations of individuals property were perceived as unusual and as a result a new sort of property – the private cultural property was distinguished. Moreover, the concepts of the common heritage and res extra commercium could be observed in the light of the PRL ideas. It should be emphasized that the above mentioned theories for improving cultural heritage regulations are the most popular in the nowadays’ international discussion.

Contemporary Context

Resumo:  O objetivo da presente abordagem é afirmar o espaço público como indispensável para a expressão e interação dos indivíduos na formação da cidadania e, assim, compor a democracia no contexto contemporâneo. A garantia de direitos e a sua efetivação no cotidiano da convivência humana são as referências mais elementares e condição para a sua legitimidade. Tradicionalmente, as formas de participação e decisão dependiam exclusivamente de eleições que garantiam a alternância do poder. Esse é um modelo limitado e insuficiente, considerando a complexidade das sociedades hodiernas que pressupõe a existência de uma nova dinâmica. Os conflitos de representação e decisão impulsionam a proposição de novos paradigmas para a interação e efetivação de direitos. Os movimentos sociais, as formas de interação e a expressão da pluralidade existente na sociedade, demandam um modelo de participação intersubjetiva, indicando a cidadania como espaço de interação e vociferação de direitos, especificamente os direitos das culturas, a superação das desigualdades, os novos instrumentos de decisão e as condições efetivas de integração dos povos, ampliando as condições de justiça. Afirmar valores e princípios como a tolerância, a legalidade, a dignidade humana, a sustentabilidade e o compromisso com as futuras gerações, representa a capacidade de evolução da democracia e a necessidade de novos referenciais.Abstract: he objective of this approach is to affirm the public space as essential for the expression and interaction of individuals in the formation of citizenship and thus compose democracy in the contemporary context. The guarantee of rights and its effectiveness in everyday human coexistence are the most basic references and condition for its legitimacy. Traditionally, the forms of participation and decision relied solely of elections that guaranteed the alternation of power. This is a limited and insufficient model considering the complexity of today's society that presupposes the existence of a new dynamic. Conflicts of representation and decision boost to propose new paradigms for interaction and enforcing rights. Social movements, forms of interaction and expression of the existing plurality in society, require a model of inter-subjective participation, indicating citizenship as a space for interaction and vociferation rights, specifically the rights of cultures, overcoming inequalities, the new instruments decision and the actual conditions of integration of peoples, expanding the conditions of justice. Affirming values and principles such as tolerance, legality, human dignity, sustainability and commitment to future generations, is the evolution of the capacity of democracy and the need for new standards.

In keeping with the new era of information and ecology, the urgent mission of the architect is how to provide the latest green house information and some of the practices and relevant hands-on experiences for the public. In 2012, the Museum of Science and Industry of Chicago built a green house in its yard. The green house exhibition-Smart Home: Green + Wired highlights the importance of environmentally friendly effort. The exhibition intents to present for residents and visitors on how green house could help improve the environment as well as save money. The exhibition also focuses on the purpose of working together: the academia of architecture, the industrial companies and the public, trying to conserve and protect Chicago for future generations. Furthermore, with the introduction of Smart Home, this essay aims to inspire the deeper thinking about popularity of green architecture in China.

Deep Geological Repositories

Abstract Retrieval (and various permutations of this term) of long-lived radioactive wastes/materials (LLRMs) from deep geological repositories is a “concept” currently believed to increase public confidence in, and acceptance of, national LLRM-repository programs. If the “retrievability concept” provides the missing link to increased public acceptance, which is imperative in a democratic society for the siting and development of a deep LLRM repository, then the understanding and expectations of the terms used must be clearly defined, and the associated benefits and shortcomings clearly explained, to the public. To quote the Danish mathematician and philosopher Piet Hein: Knowing what you knowest not is in a sense omniscience. Based on more than 20 years of involvement in the development of deep geological repositories for LLRMs in the United Sates of America and abroad, it is the preliminary conclusion of this author that retrievability conveys a false positive because it: 1. Does not add any appreciable post-closure physical safety to current and future generations and environments. 2. Could compromise (but does not necessarily have to) the long-term integrity of the disposal system. 3. Conveys the erroneous message that this generation does not have confidence in its ability to design, construct, decommission, and close a deep geological repository for LLRMs, in a manner that provides long-term containment and isolation of the emplaced LLRMs.

Sustainable and efficient development is one of the most critical challenges facing modern society if it wants to save the world for future generations. Airports are an integral part of human activity. They need to be adapted to meet current and future sustainable needs and provide useful services to the public, taking into account prospects and requirements. Many performance criteria need to be assessed to address issues that often conflict with each other and have different units of measurement. The importance of the criteria to evaluate the effectiveness of alternatives varies. Besides, the implementation of such decisions has different—not precisely described in advance—effects on the interests of different groups in society. Some criteria are defined using different scales. Stakeholders could only evaluate the implemented project alternatives for efficiency throughout the project life cycle. It is essential to find alternative assessment models and adapt them to the challenges. The use of hybrid group multi-criteria decision-making models is one of the most appropriate ways to model such problems. This article presents a real application of the original model to choose the best second runway alternative of the airport.

Evo Devo

We highlight some important conceptual issues that biologists should take into account when teaching evolutionary biology or communicating it to the public. We first present conclusions from conceptual development research on how particular human intuitions, namely design teleology and psychological essentialism, influence the understanding of evolution. We argue that these two intuitions form important conceptual obstacles to understanding evolution that should be explicitly addressed during instruction and public communication. Given that a major issue in evolution is understanding how very different forms may share common ancestry – antievolutionists have argued that this is inconceivable – we suggest that evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo), which provides concepts and evidence that large morphological change is possible, could be used to address the intuitions that organisms have fixed essences (psychological essentialism) and that their structure indicates some kind of intentional design (design teleology).

Difficult Situations

Families are responsible for the functioning of the future generations. However, in their lives there may occur difficult situations which they are not able to overcome. Then the government provides the necessary assistance through actions carried out by aid institutions and various support programs. Currently in Poland there are many programs to help the poorest and the families in need. One of them is the program “Rodzina 500 plus” which is very well-reviewed by the public . It is, however, necessary to control the effects of the support given by the government to improve aid projects and indeed direct the stream of money to those who need it the most. The article includes analyses of the studies carried out in the Opolskie Voivodeship which aim was to show effects of the current implementation of the program “Rodzina 500 plus” from the perspective of the social workers.

This essay offers a review of ongoing media analysis of the kidnapped Yemenite Babies Affair in light of recent changes in public awareness since the emergence of social media and the more recent formal governmental recognition. It argues that the government’s efforts to silence this affair over decades would not have been possible without the media’s full cooperation. Moreover, the public denial of this affair contributes to the ongoing intra-Jewish rift and racism in Israeli society today. Questions regarding the reconciliation and remembrance of this affair in the public sphere will strongly influence the identity formation of Yemenite and Mizrahi children of future generations.

Model Approach

Ecocentrism paradigm in development are intended to ensure the sustainability of water resources in the future for future generations. The research methodology was conducted with the model approach to drinking water users willingness to pay for environmental services (YWTP). The results in Analysis Willingness to Pay in Drinking Water Management in the Upstream Watershed Cisadane illustrates that the existence of a positive response from drinking water users (entrepreneurs) to be willingness to pay for environmental services (YWTP) as payment and reward for environmental services to the public because it is influenced by the presence and the beneficiaries are significantly linearly with level of education (sig. 0.041) and Variable in YWTP education significant at 95% confidence level. Policy implications of this research that the user (downstream) is willingness to pay (WTP) for environmental services with averaging Rp1 538.65 per m3 as payment or reward for environmental services to society (upstream), so the Government (Local) PES has a potential revenue to fund conservation of Rp106.94 billion per years, but in current conditions the government only earns Rp20.57 billionper year, so that only reached 19.24%.
