This document provides a summary of the complex issues surrounding land use change (LUC) as it relates to increasing biofuel production and consumption. It discusses direct LUC, which occurs when land use is directly altered for biofuel feedstock production, and indirect LUC, where other land is changed indirectly as a result. Indirect LUC is more controversial as it can involve converting forests or grasslands into agricultural land, releasing greenhouse gases and reducing ecosystem services. The document reviews life cycle assessment studies of biofuels and their energy balance and carbon footprint when accounting for indirect LUC. It also examines regulatory actions taken in Europe, the US, and other countries to control indirect LUC from biofuels and potential implications for the

McMillan Worth The impact ofsocio-cultural context on young people's condom useKaren McMillan
This article discusses factors that influence young people's condom use in Tonga and Vanuatu based on interviews with 62 people aged 18-25. It finds a disconnect between positive attitudes towards condoms and low actual usage. Social and cultural influences play a strong role in condom decisions by shaping identity, norms, and traditions. Effective HIV prevention requires understanding these contextual factors rather than just focusing on individual knowledge and attitudes. Country-specific approaches are also needed given cultural differences between Pacific nations.

Με τη σταδιακή αποδόμηση του Μεσαιωνικού συστήματος από τον 13ο αιώνα και εντεύθεν, έως και την αυγή της Αναγεννησιακής εποχής, εκδηλώνονται στοχαστικές σκέψεις που γονιμοποιούν με τη μυστικιστική, αλχημιστική και παγανιστική τους έμπνευση και διάθεση τη διαλεκτική της χριστανικής θεολογίας. Η ιεραρχική δομή του αρχαίου και χριστιανικού φυσικού σύμπαντος και ο μεταφυσικός δυϊσμός, ανατρέπονται με τη μονιστική φυσική φιλοσοφία και την υλιστική μεταφυσική της Αναγέννησης.

Στη σκέψη του Ιουδαϊκού και αργότερα Χριστιανικού κόσμου, η Ολότητα του Σύμπαντος Κόσμου αναδύεται από το Μηδέν, εξαιτίας της Δημιουργικής παρέμβασης του κατ’ εξοχήν Όντος, του άπειρου Θεού που τον διατηρεί στην ύπαρξη με μια πράξη θέλησης. Η αρχαιοελληνική σκέψη που στοχάζεται τον Αιώνιο Κόσμο της Φύσης και την ένθεη Φύση του Λόγου μεταμορφώνεται σε Δημιουργία του Αιώνιου Θεϊκού Πνεύματος που προορίζεται τελεολογικά, διαμέσου του σχεδίου της Θείας Πρόνοιας Του, να γνωρίσει την Αποκάλυψη σ’ ένα επέκεινα του Φυσικού Κόσμου, ο οποίος χαρακτηρίζεται εφήμερος.

Η Σκέψη των αρχαϊκών χρόνων, η οποία εκφράζεται με τον Προσωκρατικό Λόγο, στοχάζεται το Εν-Παν, με μυθολογικές ενοράσεις, διαισθήσεις και λογικές κατηγορίες. Ο Προσωκρατικός Λόγος αποτελεί φιλία για τη σοφία του Εν-Όλου που το φανερώνει στη γλώσσα.

Με τον όρο ανιμισμός στη θρησκειολογία και
την ανθρωπολογία εννοείται η αρχέγονη
ανθρώπινη θρησκεία, η οποία θεμελιώνεται
στην πεποίθηση της ύπαρξης πνευματικών
υπάρξεων που εμψυχώνουν κάθε μορφή και
εκδήλωση του φυσικού κόσμου.

Πρόκειται για την
αρχαιότερη λατρευτική πρακτική της
ανθρωπότητας και τα χαρακτηριστικά της
απαντώνται σε γηγενείς πολιτισμούς. Η βάση
του ανιμισμού είναι η άποψη ότι υπάρχει ένα
πνευματικό βασίλειο το οποίο μοιράζονται οι
άνθρωποι με το σύμπαν. Η θεμελιώδης
άποψη ότι οι άνθρωποι, τα φυτά, τα ζώα και
τα ουράνια σώματα κατέχουν ψυχή
ανεξάρτητη από τη φυσική ύπαρξη είναι
κεντρική στον Ανιμισμό.
