环境激素的危害与防治研究

环境激素是继臭氧层破坏、温室效应之后的又一全球性环境问题,对环境激素污染问题的认识、研究与防治已经开始受到全球的重视。环境激素直接影响生物多样性,危及生物安全,对人类未来构成潜在威胁。环境激素发挥着类似激素的作用,它们进入体内,扰乱了激素的正常分泌,使人和动物的生理程序发生紊乱,导致生殖、免疫等功能发生障碍,对机体、后代或种群引起可逆性或不可逆性生物学效应。本文就环境激素的种类、作用机理、防治对策等方面进行了综述。     

Agricultural landscapes as multi-scale public good and the role of the Common Agricultural Policy

During the last 50 years, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has impacted the evolution of European agricultural landscapes by driving changes in land use and farming practices. We propose a typology characterising the scales relevant for agricultural landscapes management and argue that action is required on three scales: (1) a landscape oriented management at the farm level; (2) the coordination of land managers’ actions at the landscape level; and (3) the conservation of the diversity of agricultural landscapes in the EU. We provide evidence that until now the CAP has mainly focused on the first scale. We also illustrate how agricultural policy could encourage coordinated actions at the landscape- and EU-scales. In particular, we propose policy instruments to coordinate actions of individual land owners (e.g. collective bonus in agro-environmental contracts or support to environmental cooperatives (scale 2)). We also analyse how the recognition and transposition of the European Landscape Convention could promote trans-frontier landscape cooperation in order, not only to conserve high-quality rural landscapes, but also to ensure the conservation of the diversity of EU landscapes (scale 3). This paper provides a knowledge base to support an integrated CAP design in the direction of improved landscape management, as an important component of the EU project towards more sustainable agriculture.     

公众参与视角下的邻避行动研究

邻避行动的现有研究通常更关注利益分配是否公正,补偿措施是否到位,政府是否失责等.然而,邻避行动的另一诱发因素来自于利益分配过程中的公众参与.基于这一视角,邻避事件中公众与政府的冲突问题被还原为管理问题,矛盾的纠结点被归纳为各利益相关者之间的互动和沟通问题.通过运用参与式评价工具,对K市垃圾焚烧项目各阶段的公众参与情况进行了实地调查,在此基础上,总结了邻避行动的成因与演变逻辑,制定了公众参与策略.     

四环素和铜离子对生物除磷微生物的作用效应

选取污水中的污染物四环素和铜离子为二元混合物,以比吸磷率来表征二元混合物对污水生物除磷微生物的联合作用效应.采用直接均分射线法设计3种二元混合物的浓度配比(Ratio1,Ratio2,Ratio3);采用Logistic方程拟合试验数据获得浓度-效应曲线,并利用浓度加和模型分析二元混合物对生物除磷微生物的联合作用效应及...

Economic and Ecological Transformation Processes in East German Water Management Regimes: The Role of Property Rights and Governance Structures

As in many fen land regions in East Germany, long-standing intensive arable farming—enabled by reclamation—has caused soil deterioration and high water runoff in the Schraden region. The more than ten years of economic and political transformation that followed the breakdown of the socialist regime has worsened the situation and even added new problems. The visible consequences are droughts in the summer, waterlogged plots in the spring, and worn-down water management facilities that operate in an uncoordinated or even unauthorized way. Given the local public-good character of some features of the fen land, the common-pool character of the ecosystems intermittently scarce resource water, and the conflicting interests of regional stakeholders, it is argued that the reallocation of property rights over reclamation systems, together with ineffective coordination mechanisms, have caused the physical and institutional failure of the water management system and so impeded appropriate land use.

The Impact of BSE and FMD on Ethics and Democratic Process

The recent crises of BSE and FMD in the United Kingdom have revealed widespread concerns on the part of farmers and consumers about government regulations and handling of animal movements, animal welfare, and food safety. Both crises raised issues of government accountability and the lack of openness in public debate. The issues of democratic process and decision-making were especially strong in relation to the mass slaughter policy of the government to control FMD. This article explores public disquiet about these matters, as expressed through the reports of two public inquiries, and the perceived links between government decision-making and the needs of global agribusiness, to the detriment of family farms and animal welfare. In light of the growing evidence about the environmental and economic costs of agribusiness, the argument is made that strong programs of citizen action, such as the Devon Foot and Mouth Inquiry, that are grounded in an ethical stance on animal welfare can challenge the perspectives of central governments about concepts of cost, efficiency, and safety in agriculture.     

“良心”与地震预报

地震科学水平和地震预报的社会实践，形成研究人员不同的“良心”心理活动。积极的“良心”心理活动，有促进地震预报研究发展，相对提高预报成功率的作用；消极的心理活动，则干扰地震预报决策，或涣散军心，增加预报失误。为此，在震情严峻的情况下，应减轻预报人员的心理负担，在基层地震部门，更要疏导地震工作者的消极心理，以提高地震预报的质量     

Timing of hurricane emergency actions

Emergency actions to prepare for hurricanes often require more time than is available from official public warnings. This means that the preparedness official must decide not onlywhat to do butwhen to do it. The action decision system, described here, developed for use in the State of Florida, reformats the hurricane track forecast, a 72-h projection, prepared at the National Hurricane Center in Miami, to specify the probability of a strike at each of 12 vulnerable coastal communities, and then normalizes the value in terms of a composite of probabilities computed for historic hurricanes that struck the respective communities. The normalization, a ratio of the two probability values, current and historic, expressed as a percentage is defined as the level of risk. When this level reaches or exceeds 100% the risk level is defined as critical and the system recommends that emergency actions to prepare begin immediately.The system is founded upon individual hurricane climatologies and decision procedures that are tailored for use at each community. The action recommendations generated by the risk analyses with a 93% level of confidence relieve the preparedness official of the need to make meteorological decisions in timing evacuations and other critical measures, even when these must begin before official hurricane warnings are received.The work that provided the basis for this publication was supported by funding under a Cooperative Agreement with the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
