The two-volume publication included both quantitative indicators on the status quo and a scenario exercise, offering separate but complementary sets of insights into the status and future possibilities for Asia-Europe relations. The publication, entitled ASEM Outlook Report 2012 — Foresight is 20/20: Scenario Building for Policy Analysis and Strategy Development, was designed to feed into the biennial ASEM Summit, which saw of Heads of State and Government meet from 5–6 November 2012 in Vientiane, Lao PDR. The Asia-Europe Foundation (ASEF) is the only permanently established institution of ASEM. Founded in 1997, ASEF is entrusted with the mission to promote understanding, strengthen ASEM is an intergovernmental forum for dialogue and relationships and facilitate cooperation cooperation established in 1996 to deepen relations among the people, institutions and between Asia and Europe, which addresses political, organisations of Asia and Europe. economic and sociocultural issues of common concern. ASEF continues to play the pivotal ASEM brings together 53 members: 30 European and role of providing platforms where 21 Asian countries, the European Union and the ASEAN civil societies can develop and share Secretariat. Indeed, the organisation continues to grow recommendations with the ASEM with Croatia and Kazakhstan’s induction into the 10th governments for their consideration. It ASEM Summit in October 2014. enhances dialogue, enables exchanges ASEM was initiated in 1996 when 26 ASEM leaders met and encourages collaboration across in Bangkok, Thailand. ASEM has arisen out of a mutual the thematic areas of culture, economy, recognition that the relationship between Asia and Europe education, governance, public health needed to be strengthened in light of the challenges and and sustainable development. These opportunities of the 21st century. thematic areas are derived from priorities set by the ASEM leaders, For more information on ASEM, see www.aseminfoboard.org Heads of States and Governments and Ministers. In order to strengthen the ties between the ASEM process and the work of ASEF, ASEF has decided to publish Outlook Reports biennially in conjunction with each ASEM Summit. Published shortly before the ASEM Summit in October 2014, this report seeks to build on key developments that have taken place since 2012 and offers an analysis of major trends in Asia-Europe relations. By offering an analysis of emerging global and regional challenges associated with sustainable growth and development, the publication is targeted at governments and other actors and institutions who contribute to the development of Asia-Europe relations. The report also seeks to contribute to a better understanding among Asian and European countries on how to reshape growth in a way that meets the economic, environmental and social responsibilities required by sustainable development. VOLUME II: PERSPECTIVES ON SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 1 Preface to Outlook Report 2014/2015 Similar to the Outlook Report 2012, the 2014 publication is divided into two distinct volumes. Volume I presents a set of statistics on all ASEM Countries based on ASEF’s core thematic areas. They include information related to demography, the economy, social development, education, culture, health, energy and carbon emissions. Volume II provides a series of perspectives on the prospects for sustainable growth and development across ASEM Countries for a number of selected topics. While both Volume I and Volume II function as stand-alone publications, they have been designed to complement one another. The narrative chapters of Volume II reference and build on some of the most interesting information revealed in the compilation of statistical data on ASEM Countries presented in Volume I. While the selection of statistical data is based on a desire to cover the most relevant statistics and trends in and between the two regions, specific data sets were added at the request of chapter authors of Volume II. It is envisioned that the inclusion of these supporting statistics allows Volume I to act not only as a reference source but also as a means of complementing the narrative chapters in Volume II. For example, while the chapter on health focusses on the accessibility of healthcare with a particular focus on migrants, the statistics in Volume I give an insight into the health (care) status of the whole population with government health expenditure, immunisation coverage, mortality rates, etc. This publication represents ASEF’s lead contribution to the 10th ASEM Summit that takes place from 16-17 October 2014 in Milan, Italy. The key issues that are addressed in the Outlook Report are closely aligned with the theme of the Summit, Responsible Partnership for Sustainable Growth and Security, and it can be expected that the publication will complement the debate and discussions that will take place during the Summit. In addition, the inclusive nature of the topic of sustainable development makes it the ideal prism through which to project the key thematic areas of culture, economy, education, governance, public health and sustainable development that are the key focus of ASEF’s work. It is hoped that the presentation of the these two volumes will provide interesting and important analyses of trends and developments in Asia-Europe relations that we might expect to witness over the forthcoming years while also allowing the reader to gain insights into ASEF’s work across its key themes. Preface to Volume II Volume II: Perspectives on Sustainable Development takes as its focus the future of Asia and Europe in light of existing and emerging trends in sustainable development and growth.

  • Oregano: the Genera Origanum and Lippia
    Part 5 Pharmacology © 2002 Taylor & Francis 8 The biological/pharmacological activity of the Origanum Genus Dea Bariˇceviˇc and Tomaˇz Bartol INTRODUCTION In the past, several classifications were made within the morphologically and chemically diverse Origanum (Lamiaceae family) genus. According to different taxonomists, this genus comprises a different number of sections, a wide range of species and subspecies or botanical varieties (Melegari et al., 1995; Kokkini, 1997). Respecting Ietswaart taxo- nomic revision (Tucker, 1986; Bernath, 1997) there exist as a whole 49 Origanum taxa within ten sections (Amaracus Bentham, Anatolicon Bentham, Brevifilamentum Ietswaart, Longitubus Ietswaart, Chilocalyx Ietswaart, Majorana Bentham, Campanulaticalyx Ietswaart, Elongatispica Ietswaart, Origanum Ietswaart, Prolaticorolla Ietswaart) the major- ity of which are distributed over the Mediterranean. Also, 17 hybrids between different species have been described, some of which are known only from artificial crosses (Kokkini, 1997). Very complex in their taxonomy, Origanum biotypes vary in respect of either the content of essential oil in the aerial parts of the plant or essential oil compos- ition. Essential oil ‘rich’ taxa with an essential oil content of more than 2 per cent (most commercially known oregano plants), is mainly characterised either by the domi- nant occurrence of carvacrol and/or thymol (together with considerable amounts of ␥-terpinene and p-cymene) or by linalool, terpinene-4-ol and sabinene hydrate as main components (Akgül and Bayrak, 1987; Tümen and Bas¸er, 1993; Kokkini, 1997). The Origanum species, which are rich in essential oils, have been used for thousands of years as spices and as local medicines in traditional medicine. The name hyssop (the Greek form of the Hebrew word ‘ezov’), that is called ‘za’atar’ in Arabic and origanum in Latin, was first mentioned in the Bible (Exodus 12: 22 description of the Passover ritual) (Fleisher and Fleisher, 1988).
