Energy, economic and GHG emissions analysis of potato productionInnspub Net
Potatoes (Solanum tuberosum L.) are among the foremost vital international food crops. In this study crosssectional
data were collected from potato growers by employing a face to face survey in East-Azerbaijan Province of Iran. The data collected was analyzed for the energy, GHG emissions and economics of potato production.
According to the results, total average energy inputs consumption and GHG emissions were 131608.14 MJ ha-1
and 4542 kg CO2eq.ha-1, respectively. Electricity, chemical fertilizers and diesel fuel were the most influential
factors in energy consumption with quantity of 46.3, 34.7 and 24.6 GJ ha-1. Energy use efficiency, net energy and
energy intensiveness were 0.97, -4292 MJ ha-1 and 21.73 MJ $-1, respectively. Among the energy inputs, the
contribution of DE was more than that of IDE energy and also the proportion of NRE was more than RE resources. Electricity with a share of 52% played the most important role on GHG emissions, followed by diesel fuel (31%) and chemical fertilizer (12%). The results of economic analysis showed that the benefit to cost ratio was 1.1 and the economic productivity was 5.84 kg $-1. Economic analysis showed that the potato production could be a profitable business in East-Azerbaijan Province. Encouraging farm energy consumers to use less electricity is indispensable for sustainable use of energy and a key element of GHGs emission reduction.

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Web quest celebrations around the world (1)
1. WEBQUEST
“Traditions around the World”
INTRODUCTION:
There are some traditions and celebrations which are common and celebrated in most of the countries in some specific dates.
However, costumes, clothes, dances, and typical activities vary from one country to another. To illustrate the foregoing, one may
wonder if Chile and the USA share the same practices to celebrate Christmas. What about the New Year’s celebrations between
Japan and Mexico? Well, now you have the opportunity to research about celebrations around the world.
Then, can you think in a special celebration for you? Which would be the most important elements of this celebration?
Now, you can create your own special celebration. You will choose the date, the reason and the most important elements.
