Printed in Germany PRINTED ON WHITE CHLORINE-FREE PAPER Preface European Union- Latin America Scientific Cooperation in the 90's It gives me great satisfaction to present this overview of the results of almost a decade of continuous support from the European Community to cooperation between our scientists and their Latin American counterparts. In addition, this publication provides researchers with a valuable source of information on the projects supported, their scope, objectives, and results, and gives full details of the teams involved and how to contact them. The reader will find in the pages that follow the practical results of the Community's policy on scientific cooperation with the Latin American region. As in the case of other developing regions, Community policy has sought to harmonise a contribution to the region's socio-economic progress with our own scientific interests. Implementation of this policy has allowed Community scientists to gain access to localities displaying particular environmental, agricultural, ecological and public health characteristics, and to undertake their research in these areas. As a counterbalance, we believe that Latin American researchers have derived great benefit from interaction with their European peers. Given their own scientific quality, this sharing of experience places local teams in a privileged position from which to contribute to finding science­ based solutions to problems faced by their communities. It is precisely with the aim of tackling these problems effectively that, after extensive dialogue with the scientific authorities and communities of the region, the Commission selected areas on which to target cooperation. Agriculture and agroindustry, health and environmental issues were considered the most important priorities, as the reader will be able to see in the body of this publication. However, in order to capitalize on the human potential available, research in other relevant fields such as earth sciences, materials and different branches of engineering was also supported when resources permitted. We firmly believe that our cooperation has led to the creation of a permanent network of scientific interaction, embracing a vast number of Latin American and European scientists, and which is even broader and more far-reaching than the sum of the results of the projects presented here. The importance of Latin America for the European Community has recently been brought to the forefront by the Summit of Heads of State of Latin America and the Caribbean, and the European Union, which took place last June in Rio de Janeiro. The dialogue that has taken place over the years in different fora has been reinforced by the Heads of State of the two regions with their decision to establish a Working Group of Representatives. This institutionalised Working Group should provide a renewed impetus to our cooperation: whether this will be achieved through the enlargement of the specific programme for cooperation, by further facilitating access to the specific thematic programmes of the framework programmes, by the conclusion of cooperation agreements, or by the combination of some of these options, is still an open question. The Working Group of Representatives will be the forum for reflection and advice on the most appropriate way to develop the full potential of our cooperation in the future. The Rio Summit underscored the will of both regions to deepen that cooperation, and the European Commission will apply its best efforts and full capacity to the successful achievement of that aim. Brussels, October 1999 J. Gabolde Director III Introduction During the 1990s, the European Community pursued scientific cooperation with Latin America through a series of different programmes. For the period 1990-1994 two complementary schemes were in operation. First, the Life Sciences and Technologies for Developing Countries (STDIII) programme, which formed part of the EC's Third Framework Programme for Research and Technological Development aimed at mobilizing EC and Developing Country scientists to work on pressing problems of all developing countries, including Latin American countries, in the areas of human health and agriculture. Second, the International Scientific Cooperation (ISC) scheme, which aimed at developing long­ lasting working relationships between EC and Latin American scientists, covered a wider range of subjects and set priorities by mutual agreement with the national authorities of individual countries. Through these two schemes a wide-ranging development effort was complemented by a country-specific initiative. The ISC scheme also granted fellowships for Latin American scientists to do research in European laboratories and develop contacts with the European scientific community. In 1994, a new scheme combining these ideas was introduced. This was the INCO-DC programme (Scientific and Technological Cooperation with Developing Countries), which formed part of the EC's Fourth RTD Framework Programme and which ran until 1998. It focussed specifically on three sectors of widespread importance (sustainable management of renewable natural resources, sustainable improvement of agricultural and agroindustrial production, and health) and used a regional basis, in this case the region being Latin America, on which to set research priorities and build projects. The newest programme, which started in 1999 and runs for a further four years, is the Research for Development (INCO-DEV) component of the Fifth RTD Framework Programme. This programme targets research of a problem-orientated nature, maintains the regional approach and subject-matter coverage of the earlier INCO-DC programme but adds to it a section on policy research for sustainable development. This volume contains summaries of joint research projects involving partners in Latin America. It covers all STDIII and INCO-DC projects, and ISC projects which started in the 1992-1994 period. A table summarizing the number of activities carried out and EC financial contribution is given below.

Land Smith 2021 MELS ii Abstract Sina Queyras, in the essay “Lyric Conceptualism: A Manifesto in Progress,” describes the Lyric Conceptualist as a poet capable of recognizing the effects of disparate movements and employing a variety of lyric, conceptual, and language poetry techniques to continue to innovate in poetry without dismissing the work of other schools of poetic thought. Queyras sees the lyric conceptualist as an artistic curator who collects, modifies, selects, synthesizes, and adapts, to create verse that is both conceptual and accessible, using relevant materials and techniques from the past and present. This dissertation responds to Queyras’s idea with a collection of original poems in the lyric conceptualist mode, supported by a critical exegesis of that work.

It transfers an amino group from glutamine to fructose-6-phosphate to yield glucosamine-6-phosphate, thus providing the precursor for uridine diphosphate N-acetylglucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc) synthesis. UDP-GlcNAc is an essential substrate for all mammalian glycosylation biosynthetic pathways and N-glycan branching is especially sensitive to alterations in the concentration of this sugar nucleotide.

  • DISCLAIMER the IPBES Global Assessment on Biodiversity And
    DISCLAIMER The IPBES Global Assessment on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services is composed of 1) a Summary for Policymakers (SPM), approved by the IPBES Plenary at its 7th session in May 2019 in Paris, France (IPBES-7); and 2) a set of six Chapters, accepted by the IPBES Plenary. This document contains the draft Chapter 3 of the IPBES Global Assessment on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services. Governments and all observers at IPBES-7 had access to these draft chapters eight weeks prior to IPBES-7. Governments accepted the Chapters at IPBES-7 based on the understanding that revisions made to the SPM during the Plenary, as a result of the dialogue between Governments and scientists, would be reflected in the final Chapters. IPBES typically releases its Chapters publicly only in their final form, which implies a delay of several months post Plenary. However, in light of the high interest for the Chapters, IPBES is releasing the six Chapters early (31 May 2019) in a draft form. Authors of the reports are currently working to reflect all the changes made to the Summary for Policymakers during the Plenary to the Chapters, and to perform final copyediting. The final version of the Chapters will be posted later in 2019. The designations employed and the presentation of material on the maps used in the present report do not imply the expression of any opinion whatsoever on the part of the Intergovernmental Science-Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.
