Waterways played a crucial role in the emergence of Shanghai as a cosmopolitan city and world port. Over the years the spatial and functional relationships between the city and ports and hinterland have been changing continuously. In Shanghai, like other port cities, almost all ports and related industries are placed out beyond the urban fringes, to form decentralized regional clusters, while former docklands are quickly transformed into attractive urban waterfronts. Simultaneously there is a growing physical and socio-economic gap with the rural hinterland. During Shanghai's brutal lockdown in Spring 2022, due to China's rigid zero-Covid policy, citizens were without food and other supplies while fully loaded ships were lined up waiting in the port. Also, deliveries from surrounding rural areas were temporarily halted. This article focuses on recent developments but is based on experiences in previous centuries from a long durée perspective. It elaborates on how the Yangtze River Delta urbanized along shipping channels and examines changing relationships between city and port, between urban and rural, and between man and nature. What role did shipping channels play and how to rebalance various spatial claims: urban, rural, port interests, and environmental concerns?

The Siddis were brought to India from the southern and eastern parts of Africa by the Arab and Portuguese colonisers. At present, the Siddis in India can be found in parts of Gujarat (a state located in western India), Hyderabad (a state located in southeastern India) and Karnataka (a state located in southwestern India). They are habitually subjected to colonially reconfigured violence of epistemic and cognitive injustices by the mainstream colonial/modern governing institutions in India through dehumanising their cultural practices, racially invalidating their food habits, preventing them from receiving education, practising racial suppression at workplaces, etc. To counter such violence of the colonial/modern governing institutions, the Siddis interweave narratives of epistemic justice and cognitive freedom through performing their Indigenous traditional socio-cultural practices of hunting, cooking, eating, singing and dancing. The interesting aspect of these socio-cultural practices is that they are socially, culturally, thematically and contextually interlinked to each other. The title of this article is a synecdochic representation of the interwovenness of Siddi histories and cultures. With respect to these arguments, the research article will argue how these socio-cultural practices function as Indigenous performances of epistemic justice and cognitive freedom for the Siddis of Karnataka.

Em 2050, a previsão é que a população mundial atinja mais de 9 bilhões de pessoas (FAO) e a estimativa é de que a demanda global por água, energia e alimentos seja impulsionada pelo aumento populacional, pela urbanização e pelas mudanças climáticas. Essa crescente demanda por recursos naturais limitados, tem provocado uma preocupação de ordem global que tem origem no trilema da sustentabilidade: o nexus água-alimento-energia. Nesse contexto, surge a necessidade de analisar como esse tema tem sido abordado na literatura. Assim, o objetivo da pesquisa é analisar a produção científica relativa aos recursos energia-água-alimento frente à sustentabilidade. A metodologia da pesquisa consiste numa revisão sistemática da literatura, seguindo as orientações do protocolo Rother (2007). O estudo teve como fonte a base de dados Scopus. Nas buscas foram utilizados a combinação dos termos "nexus" e "water-energy-food", que apresentou como resultado 598 trabalhos, dos quais foi selecionada uma amostra de 165 artigos. A análise foi realizada através dos gráficos disponibilizados na própria base de dados Scopus. Os resultados da pesquisa apontam para a relação existente atualmente na literatura entre os elementos que compõem o nexus, suas características e seu estado da arte.

The study examines Russian dialects spoken of the Volga River's left bank in the Ulyanovsk region in the context of inter-ethnic contacts. The interest in this topic stems from the region's polyethnical and multilingual environment, which is driven by the presence of multiple peoples (Slavic, Turkic, Finno-Ugric) in the same area. After collecting and transcribing records, the researchers attempted to demonstrate that the Slavic, Turkic, and Finno-Ugric peoples residing in this region share some housekeeping traditions, which are reflected in their languages. The presence of borrowed elements in the Russian dialects of those peoples residing in non-native territories is explained by their secondary character. Ethnic and cultural contacts mainly influence dictionary in the Russian dialects of the Transvolga Simbirsk area, as the lexical sphere contains a large number of borrowings, primarily in cattle farming, such as names of animal groups, various names of enclosures and sheds (karda, baza). Ethnic and language contacts affect other lexical groups as well, including food, landscape, plants, animals. Borrowings among functional words deserve special attention (aida, aba). The grammar of the Russian dialects of the Transvolga Simbirsk area also features elements of the Mordovic (Erzya and Moksha) and Turkic (Chuvash and Tatar) languages.

In order to prevent the spread of the disease in the Covid-19 pandemic, various restrictions such as curfew, partial shutdowns, or full shutdowns have been taken. These restrictions have also brought to light the importance of social assistance and solidarity. Within the framework of the study, the purpose, structure, and operation of the social support model developed in Türkiye were established to avoid the victimization of individuals who were unable to take the streets and who had no one to help them address their needs. In order to meet the basic needs of citizens aged 65 and older and chronically ill during the pandemic process, Vefa Social Support Groups (VSSG) were formed throughout Türkiye and various demands of a quarter of Türkiye's population were met. While the application in various provinces has been terminated, the VSSG, which continues its activities in the province of Isparta, has been discussed in-depth in the study. It has been observed that Isparta Vefa Social Support Groups (IVSSG) fulfills the demands of citizens in seven different items such as bank transactions, billing transactions, food-market shopping, salary check, drug supply, permission request and other (dress-up and fuel assistance requests, etc.).

Klatak satay is an iconic food originating from the Bantul Regency of Yogyakarta. Sate klatak was named the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Indonesia in 2019 by the Ministry of Education and Culture. As an Intangible Cultural Heritage, satay klatak needs to be preserved so that the regeneration process continues and its existence remains sustainable. Tourists coming to eat Sate Klatak have various motivations. The purpose of this study is to review the motivation, perception, post-consumption behaviour of domestic tourists Sate Klatak East Imogiri, Yogyakarta. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The data collection technique is by distributing online questionnaires via WhatsApp and Instagram. The results showed that the biggest motivation for tourists to consume satay klatak Imogiri was recommendations from friends and relatives. Furthermore, Sate Klatak East Imogiri is incredibly well-received because of its popularity, taste, and appearance. Tourists also show satisfaction in post-consumption behavior, namely, returning and recommending it to relatives. The theoretical implication of this study is that these three variables can be used as indicators of local culinary evaluation. Meanwhile, as a practical implication, the research results can be used as suggestions for local culinary development in destinations, especially Sate Klatak East Imogiri

AbstractNexus governance recognises that sustainability concerns such as water, energy, and food security are interlinked and provides an alternative to fragmented governance. Although it has been applied mostly in the domestic context, the need for nexus governance is also apparent at a planetary scale, as highlighted by interacting planetary boundaries, global telecoupling, and global tipping cascades. However, international environmental law is unable to facilitate what we call 'planetary nexus governance'. This is mainly because international environmental law lacks an ecological Grundnorm and because its primary rules of conduct remain fragmented in the absence of effective secondary rules on how primary rules should relate to each other. Recognising this challenge, scholars have recently proposed earth system law as a new framework to rethink, in an integrated way, law in an Anthropocene context. Building on this framework, we suggest that international environmental law should adopt a unifying Grundnorm such as planetary integrity. We also suggest that international institutional law, as a body of secondary rules, has an important role to play in facilitating planetary nexus governance by bringing together fragmented bodies of international law. We briefly discuss ways in which international environmental law could reorientate itself to better facilitate planetary nexus governance.

Based on Appendix I, point 8 of Law no. 35 of 2009 concerning Narcotics, Cannabis is classified as Schedule I narcotics. Referring to Article 7 of Law 3 of 2009, narcotics other than Schedule I can be used to benefit health services and the development of science and technology. Meanwhile, narcotics from Schedule I can only be used to develop science and technology. Thus, Cannabis can only be used for the development of science and technology with the permission of the Minister of Health and the recommendation of the Head of the National Agency of Drug and Food Control (BPOM). This study compares favorable laws regarding narcotics, especially Cannabis, which is regulated in the law of Indonesia and Thailand. This study also explores the regulation of Cannabis as an alternative in the future in Indonesia. In normative law research, statutory and comparative approaches compare the Narcotics Laws in Indonesia and Thailand. Cannabis is not included in the Narcotics class that can be used for health since it is classified as Schedule I. On the official website of the Royal Gazette, it was announced that Thailand had legalized the use of Cannabis as a medical alternative. It will be legalized 120 days after the announcement is made.

Foodsters United, a workplace organizing campaign by Toronto food couriers, shows that, even in the gig economy, the classic organizing methods work. The Foodsters successfully challenged their misclassification as independent contractors, got over 40 per cent of a large workforce to sign union cards, and triggered a union vote that they won with 88.8 per cent support. These victories were tempered by a devastating setback: their employer, Foodora, exited from Canadian markets. Nevertheless, what Foodsters United achieved through workplace organizing sustained its transformation into Gig Workers United, which is organizing all delivery platform workers in Toronto. Although platform companies like Foodora promote the idea that the gig economy is unprecedented, its historical continuities are more important than its discontinuities. This is also true of the workplace organizing in the gig economy. Foodsters United achieved substantial victories, not because they invented new organizing methods but because they adapted the classic methods, in often ingenious ways, to their gig economy workplace. This article is based on interviews with the campaign organizers. It is organized thematically according to classic workplace organizing methods, particularly those developed in the industrial organizing tradition, including organizing conversations, mapping, charting, leader identification, issue identification, and the creation of democratic organizations.

Based on field materials obtained during ethnic sociological expeditions in 2020-2021 to the regions of the Russian Federation (Belgorod, Voronezh, Omsk regions, Primorsky, Altai Territory), the author defines and characterizes markers of the ethnic identity of Russian-Ukrainian biethnors (commonality of historical fate, commonality of territory, religion, life, family order, norms of behavior, commonality of psychological warehouse, language). According to the results of the study, it was revealed that the commonality of the historical past is the preservation and broadcast of family stories; the commonality of the territory in the broad sense can be considered the territory of the Russian Federation; Orthodoxy acts as a marker of religiosity, as an integral part of the culture of Russian-Ukrainian biethnors; life, family order is determined from the position of perception of identity by respondents, and food as the brightest element; norms of behavior, mentality are defined by different character traits (thrifty, strong, etc.); the language of the group in question is Russian, with the preservation of Ukrainian and Khokhlyak ones in everyday life. Each of the identified markers defines both Russianism and Ukrainism as a component of the double ethnic identity of the group.

We investigate the relationship between language and trade, and we acknowledge language as both a code of communication and an important component of culture. We refer to the case of Italy where a large portion of export is related to the image of the "Made in Italy" (e.g., food of the Italian tradition, luxury cars, fashion clothes, etc.). In this context language is a means of conveying suggestions and symbols that become part of the goods themselves. Specifically, we study whether the presence of Italian as a migration language (proxied by the presence of migrants of Italian origin), Italian as a cultural language (proxied by the presence of students of Italian language), and proximity to the Italian language are associated with Italian exports. We implement a Poisson regression by pseudo-maximum likelihood on a database that includes 190 countries where Italy exports. Results show a positive association between Italian exports, including those of a conventionally defined core set of made in Italy sectors, with the presence of migrants of Italian origin and students in Italian cultural institutes. These findings are mainly driven by export towards high-income countries. The implications of these results for industrial policy are discussed.

Abstract
Contamination of food with mycotoxins can pose harmful effects on the health of consumers in the long term. Coffee contamination with mycotoxins has become a global concern. This study attempted to meta-analyze the concentration and prevalence of ochratoxin A (OTA) in coffee products and estimate consumers' health risks. The search was conducted among international databases, including Scopus, PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science, for 1 January 2010 to 1 May 2022. The concentration and prevalence of OTA in coffee products were meta-analyzed according to country subgroups. Health risk assessment was conducted based on Margin of Exposures (MOEs) using the Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) technique. The three countries that had the highest Pooled concentration of OTA in coffee were observed in Chile (100.00%), Kuwait (100.00%), and France (100.00%). The overall prevalence of OTA in coffee products was 58.01%, 95% CI (48.37–67.39). The three countries that had the highest concentration of OTA were Philippines (39.55 μg/kg) > Turkey (39.32 μg/kg) > and Panama (21.33 μg/kg). The mean of MOEs in the adult consumers in Panama (9,526) and the Philippines (8,873) was lower than 10,000, while the mean of MOEs in other countries was higher than 10,000. Therefore, monitoring and control plans should be carried out in different countries.

Historical, feminist scholarship demonstrates that the welfare state underwrote the work of social reproduction, enabling procreation, socialization, sexuality, nurturance, and family maintenance. Carried out by families and other public and private social institutions, social reproduction includes making food, clothing, and shelter available for immediate consumption; ensuring the health and productivity of the current and future labor force; providing for people too old, too young, or too sick to care for themselves; and socializing family members. Historically, social reproduction includes both women's unpaid labor in the home and low-paid labor in the market and converts the wages of paid workers into the means of subsistence for the entire household. The economic crisis of the mid-1970s marked the end of the "golden age" of capitalism, and yielded neoliberal politics that sought to undo the redistributive elements of the New Deal and the Great Society. It called for a smaller state, greater reliance on market forces, and reduced expenditure on family maintenance. This article, a reprint of a 2017 book chapter, explores the crisis in social reproduction in the United States that surfaced with the rise of neoliberalism and the "carceral state."

ABSTRACT The research aimed to describe, through an evaluation study in 2016, the scope of the School Health Program (PSE) in the municipality of Vitória de Santo Antão State of Pernambuco in the Northeast region of Brasil. Data were collected between October 2016 and February 2017 using documental source from the Municipal Health and Education secretaries and the Regional Education Management. The municipality had 52 registered schools and 26 carried out some activity related to the program. The actions encompassed component I activities such as 'Anthropometric assessment', 'Verification of vaccination status', 'Oral health promotion and assessment', for example. The themes of component II were also verified such as 'Promotion of body practices and physical activity', 'Food safety and healthy eating actions', 'Promotion of Environmental Health and sustainable development', with focus on arboviruses. The number of actions in the urban area was higher when compared to the rural area. A good number of registered schools contrasting with the low activation (implementation) of the PSE, or even a 'very bad' reach of students, permeated the survey answers, enabling the solidification of subsidies of essential questions to new interventions in this research field and providing other knowledges about the program to the general public.

The paper seeks to investigate the contribution of key sectoral exports namely; Agricultural, Manufacturing and Services to the growth of Nigeria's economy using annual data from 1980 to 2021. The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was employed to estimate the long and short run relationships. The result proved that the Agricultural exports do not contribute to growth of Nigeria's economy, thus the category of the primary exports from Nigeria may not be important in achieving economic growth of the country as compared to the Manufacturing and Service sectors which indicated a positive relationship in terms of contribution to growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The study, however, suggests that; the Agricultural/primary Sector which provides food and raw materials could be more beneficial to the economy if utilized domestically to produce finished or semi-finished products for consequent exports; thus, government should provide more priority to infrastructural development to boost the development of the Manufacturing and Service Sectors. The Service Sector, if harnessed could have the potential of significantly generating foreign exchange earnings for the country through exported services to other countries and the development of domestic micro services companies.
