Over the past decade, integrated landscape (–seascape) approaches—IL(S)As—have been gaining prominence as holistic, collaborative, and tangible solutions to biodiversity conservation and sustainability challenges. On-the-ground implementation of IL(S)As, however, is a complex task. The Xinshe "Forest–River–Village–Ocean" Eco-Agriculture Initiative (the Xinshe Initiative), established in October 2016 and facilitated by the authors, is an ILSA aimed at the socio-ecological revitalisation of the Xinshe ridge-to-reef landscape–seascape in eastern coastal Taiwan. The objective of this paper is to summarise and demonstrate our experiences with facilitating the Xinshe Initiative over the five-year period (2016–2021). This is a case study participatory action research based on mixed qualitative methods of data collection and analysis. Research findings reveal the importance of: (1) locally sensitive boundary setting and checking by the means of inclusive and participatory processes; (2) various facilitation tools and engagement strategies for the continuity of multi-stakeholder interest and engagement; (3) five socio-ecological perspectives of the Satoyama Initiative for determining environmental and socio-economic objectives; (4) regular, consistent, and locally sensitive monitoring and evaluation tools for the effectiveness of adaptive co-management; and (5) enabling conditions (relational, knowledge, and political resources) for promoting the Xinshe ILSA-related experiences "from -scape to scale".

The article discusses the practical use of the PH-GEOSIM corporate software package in the educational process on the example of higher educational establishments. This complex was developed as part of import substitution in RN-BashNIPIneft LLC, the corporate institute of Rosneft. It is designed to build and maintain geological models of oil and gas fields, contains modern visualization tools that help the geologist-modeler in his work and display the components of the geological model in 1D (correlation scheme), 2D projections, 3D view. The RN-GEOSIM software package, which has all the necessary functionality for working with digital geological models, will allow students to develop general professional competencies of educational programs in accordance with their specialization at a basic and advanced level.

ObjectivePrevention‐of‐mother‐to‐child transmission (PMTCT) interventions based on single‐dose nevirapine (NVP) are widely implemented in Africa, but strategies differ regarding how and when to administer the drug to women and infants. The aim of this study was to analyze the outcome of different strategies with regard to NVP intake in pregnant women and their infants in Tanzania and Uganda.MethodsIn an observational study carried out between March 2002 and December 2004, we compared a directly observed NVP administration strategy in Tanzania (supervised NVP intake for women and infants at a health unit) and a semi‐observed administration strategy (self‐administered NVP for women at home and supervised intake for infants at a health unit) in Uganda.ResultsThe proportions of HIV‐positive women accepting receipt of NVP from the health units were similar in the 2 countries (42.4% in Tanzania vs 45.6% in Uganda; P = .06). NVP intake in infants was significantly higher in Tanzania than in Uganda (43.7% vs 24.1%; P < .001). In a multivariate analysis, maternal age above 25 years, secondary education, Catholic faith, and having undergone PMTCT counseling at a hospital were independently associated with infant NVP intake.ConclusionIn our settings, the directly observed administration strategy resulted in a higher NVP intake in infants. The semi‐observed strategy, which implies that, after home delivery, the infant has to be presented to a health unit for NVP administration, was less successful.

La desaparición del cargo de Intendente, con motivo de las primeras elecciones de Gobernadores Regionales y la designación de Delegados Presidenciales Regionales, supone un problema para las zonas extremas del país, a cuya custodia se ha encomendado una pléyade de regímenes de franquicias, mediante la desconcentración funcional por ley o a través de delegación, tareas que no pueden ser asumidas por ninguna otra autoridad, en atención a las prevenciones efectuadas por los artículos 6° y 7° de la Constitución, advirtiéndose un vacío que debe ser resuelto por ley, para dirimir cual superioridad asumirá el conocimiento de tales estatutos preferentes.

Tematem artykułu jest problematyka ludzkiej/nie-ludzkiej śmierci, zwierzęcej żałoby, mimetycznego pragnienia oraz popędu śmierci w powieści Paula Austera, Timbuktu.
Na szczególną uwagę zasługuje relacja między (człowiekiem) Willy'm G. Christmasem a Gnatem (psem), przedstawiona w kontekście koncepcji gatunków stowarzyszonych Donny Haraway. Losy Gnata po śmierci Willy'ego ukazują odmienne propozycje stosunków międzygatunkowych: od opieki nad psem bezpańskim po jego adopcję oraz wtłoczenie w schemat zwierzęcia edypalnego. Samobójcza śmierć głównego nie-ludzkiego bohatera może być odczytywana jako pragnienie ponownego spotkania z Willy'm w zaświatach (Timbuktu), wyraz tęsknoty za utraconym przyjacielem, akt-powtórzenie (ludzkiej) śmierci Willy'ego, ale też świadomy wybór psa.

One of the most important issues in developing sustainable management strategies and incorporating ecodesigns in production, manufacturing and operations management is the assessment of the sustainability of business operations and organizations' overall environmental performance. The book presents the results of recent studies on sustainability assessment. It provides a solid reference for researchers in academia and industrial practitioners on the state-of-the-art in sustainability appraisal including the development and application of sustainability indices, quantitative methods, models and frameworks for the evaluation of current and future welfare outcomes, recommendations on data collection and processing for the evaluation of organizations' environmental performance, and eco-efficiency approaches leading to business process re-engineering.
