ELECTRIC AND THERMAL ENERGY PRODUCTION AND STORAGE SYSTEM BY PINECONE WASTEaeijjournal
Rural ecosystems are the main source of biomass used in the production of renewable energy in Portugal.
However, it is based on pruning residues are most of the raw material for biomass leaving other
opportunities aside. This paper highlights the role of pinecone waste without pinion for the energy sector.
The present paper studies different solutions to enhance the use of the pinecones for energy proposes. The
present paper also presents the different principal technologies.
It is possible to conclude that the use of residual biomass is a way to reduce the national dependence on
energy imports (fossil specialties), decreases transport losses (by allowing local production and
consumption locally) and encourages the management of forest areas (fixing people in rural areas and
lowers the risk of fire).

How Chunky Do You Need To Be?: Adaptive Content Strategies For The Real WorldChristopher Grant Ward
Okay, we get it. No more blobs. Make things chunky. Separate content from code.
But this is easier said than done.
Most content professionals work with small budgets or cope with big bureaucracies. We can't move forward on ideals alone. We need practical approaches (and dare we say, compromises) for implementing adaptive content in our day-to-day jobs. Instead of discussing in vain how to build perfect solutions, let's look closely at real-world case studies of people who have made tough calls and tradeoffs to move toward adaptive content in ways that solved actual problems.
Adaptive content requires a cultural shift in thinking, and along the way, we need to be able to allow ourselves some tradeoffs. Many situations today cannot realistically support, or even require, the chunkiest solution possible. When could a little WYSIWYG sometimes be a good thing? Is it heresy to allow the errant blob into your content management system for a special use case? As we defend the purity of content, it's also our responsibility as strategists to empower content creators to do their jobs well. Sure, the larger theory is exciting to think about, we'd like to talk more about the things we can actually start doing when we arrive to work the next morning.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.
OECD Policy Analyst Lylah Davies presented key findings and recommendations from recent OECD work on assessing the financial materiality of water-related risks, including the recently published paper “Watered down? Investigating the financial materiality of water-related risks” and was joined by experts to discuss relevant initiatives underway.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

3. INDC provisions
The Republic of Moldova has submitted its INDC
on 25 September 2015 to the UNFCCC
Secretariat and presented associated information
to facilitate clarity, transparency and
understanding in relation to the stipulations of
Decisions 1/CP .19 and 1/CP .20
The Republic of Moldova intends to achieve an
economy-wide unconditional target of reducing
its net greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) by 64-
67% below its 1990 level in 2030.
4. INDC – Mitigation
Reduction Level The Republic of Moldova is committed
to an unconditional target of a 64-67% reduction of
its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030 compared to
1990 levels. The 64% reduction corresponds to a self-
sufficiency power system development scenario, while
the 67% reduction allows for a 30% import of
electricity.
The reduction commitment could increase up to 78%
reduction below 1990 level conditional to a global
agreement addressing important topics, including
access to low-cost financial resources, technology
transfer and technical cooperation commensurate to
the challenge of global climate change.
5. INDC - Adaptation
Climate Change Adaptation Strategy by 2020
(approved in December 2014)
• O1 Create by 2018 the institutional framework in the field of
climate change that would ensure the efficient implementation of
adaptation measures at the national, sector and local levels.
• O2 Create by 2020 a mechanism to monitor the climate change
impacts, the related social and economic vulnerability and for the
management/dissemination of the information on risks and
climate disasters.
• O3 Ensure the development of climate resilience by reducing at
least by 50% the climate change risks and facilitate climate
change adaptation in six priority sectors by 2020.
6. LEDS – general view
LEDS, as an instrument for transposing INDC, has been drafted based on INDC
provisions and it is in process of national consultation with line ministries
(Ministry of Justice) and is planned to be approved by Government by the end
of July 2016.
General objective of the LEDS is the same as in the INDS (64-67%
unconditional/78% conditional)
Specific objectives has been established for the following sectors: energy (74%
unconditional and 82% conditional), transport (30% unconditional and 40%
conditional), buildings (77% unconditional and 80% conditional), industry
(45% unconditional and 56% conditional), agriculture (37% unconditional and
41% conditional), waste (38% unconditional and 47% conditional) , LULUCF
(62% unconditional increasing of CO2 sequestration and 76% conditional
increasing).
Relevant legislative acts for the INDC implementation are required and will be
considered for being approved by Parliament.

Editor's Notes
Trebuie ceva explicatii din nota informativa
What Government is doing in order to strengthening biomass market and promoting the biomass use
Ministry of Economy is promoting ----3 point
This Government decision is developed every year and contain provisions what need to be done in the economy and social sphere during the autumn/winter when we well know that the energy consume increase very much comparing with spring summer.
This is the map of installed biomass boilers. The map of moldova is divided into districts and “patratele” shows how many heating instalation in the rural municipal buildings and “triunghi” shows how many producers of “peleti si brichete” are in the dristrict.
The financing is bound to investments fostering sustainable energy saving and production of renewable energy. A team of technical and financial experts assist the applicants in the assessment and optimisation of their projects. The Moldovan partner banks are responsible for the financial due diligence and the final decision on the loan disbursement.
After the project is implemented, an independent verification consultant verify succesful project implementation and actual energy savings. A grant of up to 20% of the loan amount is then paid to the company.
To make energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE) investments even more attractive, MoSEFF offers grants for eligible projects. Depending on the energy savings and CO2 emission reductions of a project, the grant may reach between 5% and 20% of the loan amount.
The main aim of these grants is to make a project economically viable and feasible for implementation. Another aim is to foster the application of advanced technologies in Moldova. This is achieved by offering higher grants for projects that employing Best Available Technology (BAT).
To help Moldovan households reduce their energy bills and consumption the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development have developed the Residential Energy Efficiency Financing Facility (MoREEFF) to provide credit lines to reputable Moldovan banks to make loans to householders, Condominiums/Associations of Apartment Owners, Housing Management Companies, Energy Service Companies or any other eligible service companies providing maintenance, operation, construction and refurbishment services for the purpose of implementation of eligible energy efficiency projects in the residential sector in Moldova including double-glazing; wall, floor, and roof insulation; efficient biomass stoves and boilers; solar water heaters; efficient gas boilers; heat pump systems; building-integrated photovoltaic systems; and heat-exchanger stations and building installations.
To help stimulate the uptake of residential energy efficiency projects, the MoREEFF credit lines are complemented by grant funding from the European Union Neighbourhood Investment Facility (EU NIF) and the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), earmarked in support of project development and investment incentives paid to MoREEFF borrowers after verification that each eligible residential energy efficiency project has been completed. Borrowers will benefit from up to a 35% incentive towards the cost of the energy saving projects subject to the terms and conditions of the MoREEFF.
The MoREEFF loans and investment incentives are available to MoREEFF borrowers until 30 June 2017. It is anticipated that the total number of energy efficiency home improvement projects to be financed under the MoREEFF facility will be in the range of 8,000.
During EfE Batumi Conference our head of delegation met representatives of UNEP and discussed this initiative.
Ministry of Environment support this initiative as being very important for us in the context of INDC and national policies implementation.
Last week ms Rie Tsutsumi visited Moldova in order to discuss and agree on the on the next steps on this initiative and also to discuss the a new project to be applied to Green Climate Fund. The projects is on ecosystem management …..
Our state secretary accepted the idea. The project idea will be presented also to Ukraine, Georgia and Belarus and may be the project will be a regional one. But this is only a plan to be discussed with all interested actors.
