The document summarizes the agrochemical program in the Rio Negro Valley of Patagonia Argentina from 2005 to 2011. It describes the region's agricultural production relying on intensive agrochemical use. The program aimed to regulate agrochemical storage, transport, and safe usage through inspections, training, and container disposal programs. It worked with various government agencies and the private sector to improve compliance with provincial laws governing agrochemical management.

There is significant increase in solid waste generation over the last decade in Jamaica; this is largely as a result of population growth and to an extent economic growth within the country. The per capita municipal solid waste generation is approximately 1 kg across the island. Municipal solid waste generation on the island has increased from 240,748 tons in 2011 to 290,501 tons in 2012. This can be ascribed to changing lifestyles, food habits and change in living standards.
Asopos is a river that rises in Viotia and discharges into the South Euboea Gulf in Greece, about 60 km north of Athens.Forty years ago, in 1969, through a Presidential Decree, issued by the Military Government (Junta) that ruled Greece at the time, Asopos was proclaimed a Processed Industrial Waste receiver. The river the Ancient Greeks worshiped as a god (Asopos was Poseidon’s son) was unfortunate enough to run through areas that turn out almost 20% of Greece’s total industrial production.
Today, Asopos’ waters receive waste from hundreds of industries, situated at a nearby Industrial area. Nevertheless, only a slight amount of water reaches its estuary. The texture of the soil absorbs the largest part of the water, including all the industrial waste, and spreads it to the whole underground water. This results to a possibly irreversible pollution of a huge area with various waste, amongst which heavy metals, including the renowned due to recent publicity, Hexavalent Chromium. This is an element that causes cancer and/or mutations.
The water from the springs, the fountains and the drillings in this whole area is no longer suitable for any human use, neither drinking nor cooking, bathing and washing clothes, not even for watering plants!
Hundreds of thousands of residents inhabit the area, especially during the summer. All these people have been consuming water for years, without ever having been officially informed of the hazards, until early this summer (2007).
Recently, after 3 adjournments and a delay of 6 years, a trial took place. 10 out of 18 defendants were acquitted due to misrecorded data! For those convicted, the highest punishment was the ridiculous amount of EURO 5000 as a fine!
Various reportings have revealed that some industries open up drillings and convey inside all their waste- directly into the underground water!
We request that the Greek Government, the Greek Parliament, the European Community Authorities and every other qualified service take all necessary measures and actions in order to insure the restoration of Asopos river, as well as the indemnification of all the problems (health related, economical, environmental) the residents are facing due to this situation.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

role of women and girls in various terror groupssadiakorobi2
Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.
1. Agrochemical Program Report
2005 – 2011
Province of Río Negro
Patagonia Argentina
ingenierogentilehu@yahoo.com.ar
2. The Rio Negro Valley, located in
the north of Patagonia Argentina,
known as a region, comprises the lower
valleys of their tributaries the rivers
Limay and Neuquén running through
the political limits between the Rio
Negro and Neuquen provinces forming
an area with special characteristics.
3. The Rio Negro River and its main
tributaries form a watershed that runs
from the Andes Mountains to the
Atlantic Ocean.
4. Its average annual flow is 1.070 cubic meters per second provided
by important rainfalls and snowfalls in the Andes Mountains which has allowed
the development of a zone densely populated with crops
along a stretch of one hundred and twenty kilometers.
5. This productive area comprises one hundred thousand hectares, of
which sixty percent is under irrigation. Approximately forty thousand
hectares are planted with apples and pears yielding a production of an
estimated one million two hundred thousand tons of apples and pears
which are exported as fresh fruit and sent to juice plants.
6. Pip fruit production is the most important followed
by grapes used entirely for the production of wines and to a
lesser degree stone fruits such as plums,
peaches and nectarines – tomatoes and Lucerne.
7. Given the productive characteristics of the region the use of agrochemicals
is particularly intensive and as a result it was necessary to implement a
Program that would allow to control not only its enforcement
(which was and is carried out by different government agencies both national and
provincial) but also the transport, storage, safe ways of use and to train
everyone in charge of these agrochemicals down the line.
8. In the Rio Negro province everything concerning
agrochemicals is contemplated in the Provincial Law Nº 2175 known as
“The Agrochemical´s Law” and the 729/94 and 366/97 decrees that
determine that the Environmental and Ecology Council (CODEMA ) be
the enforcement agent in this matter. CODEMA is in charge of ruling
different things to help implement the law and its regulatory decrees.
10. These regulations serve as a platform for the actions
that have been taking place since 2005 together with
the private sector to reach the following objectives:
11. When the Agrochemical Program was carried out
the need to audit the total of the agrochemical commercial
warehouses in the Rio Negro valley and the provincial
middle valley was necessary as it is here that 90 % of the
agrochemicals contemplated in the law is used up.
12. With this in mind a checklist was drawn up
bearing in mind the CASAFE demands to certify
the program deposit OK. This program based its demands
on questions related to security and hygiene so
it had to adapt to the environmental agenda.
13. Once this checklist was ready a routine
inspection of all warehouses was carried
out.
14. This work showed the existence of 27 businesses
with warehouses that were audited, twenty five of them obtaining
the environment certification, two businesses were not complying
with the law so they are one step from closure.
( we must contemplate the Town Hall´s autonomy be respected in
each particular case).
15. To train up the technicians responsible for the agrochemicals
from sale companies and the companies who use the agrochemicals.
( It is obligatory for companies and commercial establishments to hire
an agronomist as a Technician responsible for the manipulation of these
agrochemicals).
16. Then, the training of the fire Brigade, Police,
regarding incidents with agrochemicals.
17. The training and interaction with the Town Halls
( Civil Defense, Environment and Commerce)
so as to reach an efficient control of the
agrochemical warehouses and storage rooms.
18. The training of the rural personnel regarding
the correct use of the agrochemicals, all this
carried out by the “Sow Conscience” Program.
19. In the year 2011 the idea of training the teachers
from rural schools is put forward .
They are trained in basic principles of toxicology,
toxicity and the responsible use of agrochemicals so
that they can do pedagogical activities related with
pesticides throughout the school year.
22. Once finished the warehouse inspections the audit of warehouses
in fruit companies is initiated,
a task that is still being carried out due to
the large amount of warehouses to be visited
23. We must take into account that there is a great disparity in sizes, capacity,
structure etc all of which slows down progress.
However we can emphasize the cooperation of the Business Chamber
(CAFI) which made communication easier with its members
24. To conclude we can say that there are two annual visits
or inspections carried out to businesses to verify t
he compliance of the law only one visit to the fruit companies.
25. As from the year 2005 campaigns have been carried out aiming to collect the
containers having been triple washed according to the IRAM Norm
12.069.Bearing this in mind campaigns carried out as joint ventures between
the different institutions linked to the fruit production such as INTA,
FUNBAPA, Fruit Secretariat (SEF), farmers chambers, irrigation board, Town
Halls amongst others
26. The CODEMA Resolution 20/10 says that the triple washed containers
are special waste (Not hazardous wastes).This was brought about after
samples of plastic triple washed
containers were analyzed by LIBIQUIMIA of the UNCo university.
These containers were triple washed according to IRAM 12.069 treatment.
27. Two annual collections are carried out.
One in the month of April and the other in the month of December.
28. Some companies and farmers prefer to take their containers
directly to a reception centre and final disposal
(located in General Roca and Allen).
In the case of Allen containers are received all year round.
