‘HARIYALI’: AS A MODEL TO COMBAT LAND DEGRADATIONMalhari Survase
The development of a region is primarily based on the efficient use and planned utilisation of
available resources, hence, it is necessary to use and conserve resources, particularly land, water,
soil and vegetation with utimost care for sustainable development. The exploitation and lavish use of
resources may threaten our life cycle causing land degradation at a greater scale. Various measures
are being adopted to conserve these resources by State and Central Government. “Hariyali”
(Greenary) project as community level efforts for the conservation of natural resource are introduced
by Department of Land Resources, Ministry of Rural Development, and Government of India from
April 2003. The present investigation aims to assess the nature, consisted works, carried works and
benefits achieved through Hariyali project implemented in western hilly part of Kolhapur district,
comprising seven small watersheds of Shahuwadi tahsil.
For the present investigation the required data and information has been collected from
Block Development Officer and Tahsil Agricultural Officer, Panchayat Samiti, Shahuwadi. The field
visits to confirm the ground reality have been arranged. The topomaps has been used to analyse
geographical situation such as location, watershed demarcation, topography, landforms, drainage,
forested areas and other landuse. The findings and results are represented through tables and maps.
The analysis revels that Hariyali project has achieved great success in conserving the land, soil,
water and vegetation. Hariyali project could be a ideal model for successfully combating the land
degradation, provided the sufficient funds are made available timely and local peoples participation
is made active.
The Greenbelt Plan, together with the Growth Plan, the NEP and the ORMCP, builds on the Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) to establish a land use planning framework for the GGH that supports a thriving economy, a clean and healthy environment and social equity.

The role of strategic spatial plans in managing urban-rural relationshipsPrivate
Recent decades have witnessed a huge change in the global structure of the human population, with the majority of people now living in urban environments. Rural-to-urban migration flows, mainly due to labour opportunities in urban areas, are responsible for the majority of this growth. Such events aggravate the urban-rural divide and compromise sustainable land-use systems. Hence, planning and managing urban areas and rural hinterlands require integrative spatial planning strategies, as well as strong land use management policies. In this regard, strategic spatial plans have been increasingly developed in many urban regions worldwide, as a means to achieve sustainable land use patterns, guide the location of physical infrastructures and shape urban-rural dynamics. It is realistic, therefore, to expect that strategic spatial plans may contribute to fostering the linkage between urban centres and rural hinterlands. This study reviews the content of strategic plans and other spatial policy documents currently in force in European and North American urban regions. The central goal of this study is to analyse the policies and measures in the plans to understand the role strategic spatial plans play in balancing the urban-rural nexus. The findings allow us to distinguish three dominant approaches, which reflect spatial patterns: i) strategic plans in European cases are focused on promoting brownfield redevelopment and stimulating polycentricity as a counter-urbanization measure; ii) strategic plans in Canadian cases demonstrate strong preoccupations with farmland protection for food security in striving for a more equal development of urban and rural areas; iii) strategic plans in assessed US cases are mainly focused on curbing urban sprawl and avoiding further land take for urban and infrastructure development, while rural hinterlands are largely neglected. The study concludes by outlining recommendations intended to support strategic planning processes and sustainable land management.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

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.
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.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Editor's Notes
The goal of this talk is therefore set within the rhetoric of the spatial explorer ...to
Use of the word fuzzy signifies soft and fluid boundaries of the RUF
Important addition to many definitions by looking at the people who shape the area. See RUF defined by nature/interests of people who live there as much as land uses. This brings into RUF zone commuter areas in what might have been seen as previously rural.
Having built a team uniting academics and policy practitioners we effectively Our starting point involved individual reflective pieces drawing on experiences of Spatial Planning and the Ecosystem Approach. Despite their different foundations and philosophies the rhetoric has remarkable convergence . These terms emerging from a contents analysis of the reflective pieces form the starting point from which our resultant framework was produced .”
Vertical integration: (also international/global perspective e.g. in terms of climate change / CO2 and other gases)
Horizontal integration: Priorities and framing of criteria/themes may change over time (new situations, knowledge, insights, identified needs)
Culture change: moving from control and regulation to more positive verbs requires support to planners and also other agencies.
Positivity as above (oil tanker syndrome.)
Applied common sense: look at your contributions on moodle. Lessons learnt about a plan .
Place making look at place but also connections and interrelationships between places, flows. Emphasis on quality through masterplanning that make things happen.
Evidence based it is a capital mistake to ‘plan’ before you have data (or plan!). Issue of pragmatism and identifying sources of good evidence not just quantitative
Scales from global to neighbourhood but also landscape scale. Scales are fluid not rigid.
Sectors crossing sectoral boundaries in a 2 way process. See health, crime and recreation
Partnerships principal delivery vehicle for SP
Tools need new tools to check that planning is joined up see role of SEA; capacity studies.
Long termism and restablishement of vision.
Connections become a focus of SP networks as part of a system. Avoid studying places, people in isolation.
Values are important in terms of the different vlaues people have aboutp laces and change but Also the vlaues that planners themselves have, Beware of the latter as it is rarely epxlicit. Gunder and Hiller 2007 responsible spatial planning concerns the ‘avoidance of avoidance’: the moral responsibility to acknowledge and recognize there are other perspectives available and to actually do something about them. Inch 2010 traces way 2 planners see their world through practice. (role of your learning log).
Inclusion : key role of stakeholders in SP but more than involvement. Early but issue of WHO; HOW WHEN and HOW MUCH and SO WHAT
Social Learning the need to reflect on what you have leanrt thruogh experiecne and interaction across new domains. Happens over time .
The natural environment is based on reward , whilst the built environment is based on restraint and control.

The method built on work that i did in 2004 for the Welsh Assembly (what kind of countryside do we want)
At each viewpoint we split the group up into 3 and led separate discussions about the RUF past, present and future. The talks were taped and transcribed and also each member was given a notebook to put down their views including those voiced and unvoiced. Each view was on a separate page of paper so as you can see we had a debreif session at the end where everybody could see the range of resposnes at each site across all groups. (also had a nice cream tea!)
“However, it’s important to realise that every part of the GI network doesn’t have to deliver against each one these benefits. For example in a SSSI, biodiversity conservation and enhancement may take priority, whereas in new residential development climate change resilience, sustainable transport and community cohesion may come to the fore.
“Many of the actions that would result from effective Green Infrastructure planning also support the ecosystem approach, whether or not this is factored into the decision-making process.
“Take for example a watercourse. Watercourses are an obvious linear feature which can thread through and link up urban and rural areas, making them a natural part of the Green Infrastructure network. The Green Infrastructure led management of the watercourse could include influencing appropriate management of the floodplain or the re-naturalisation of the watercourse, protecting or restoring its natural functions. This is good for the environment and good for nearby communities.
“It is here that the inherent multifunctionality of Green Infrastructure immediately takes it beyond just planning, or just ecology. However, to make Green Infrastructure happen, a wide range of partners need to work together.
“The Green Infrastructure approach is gaining popularity in town and country planning because it integrates different environmental themes, such as biodiversity and the historic environment, in a way which provides a holistic understanding of the natural and built environment. And then puts this into a format which can be applied including being used proactively by planners in policy development, masterplans and informing their decisions on development.
“The key point is that the sum value of the Green Infrastructure network is greater than its constituent parts.”
