The bacterium was detected in symptomatic soybean (Glycine max) plants grown in research plots in Kabwe and Mpogwe (Pawlowski and Hartman, 2019). Present. In South Korea, field surveys were conducted in major production areas for strawberry in 2018-2019 to determine the incidence of aphid-transmitted viruses. Strawberry mild yellow edge virus (SMYEV – EU Annexes), Strawberry mottle virus (SMoV – EU Annexes) were detected with low infection rates of 0.7% and 1.3%, respectively. Strawberry crinkle virus (SCV – EU Annexes), and Strawberry vein banding virus (SVBV – EPPO A2 List) were not detected. No obvious symptoms were observed in the strawberry plants infected by SMYEV or SMoV (Kwon et al., 2019). SMYEV and SMoV: Present. • Detailed records Apple stem grooving virus and apple chlorotic leaf spot virus (both listed on EU Annexes) were first found infecting loquat (Eriobotrya japonica) in Chongqing, China in March 2018. This is the first report of these viruses naturally infecting loquat (Liu et al., 2019). • Eradication In May 2020, Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 (EPPO A2 List) was detected in Pelargonium in Canada (EPPO RS 2020/098). The bacterium was found in a greenhouse in Ontario. An eradication campaign was implemented and involved more than 88 facilities in 8 provinces. In July 2020, the Canadian Food Inspection Agency announced that Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 had been successfully eradicated from Canadian greenhouses. The pest status of Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 in Canada is officially declared as: Absent, pest eradicated. In April 2020, Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 (EPPO A2 List) was detected on greenhouse Pelargonium in the USA (EPPO RS 2020/099). The bacterium was first found in a greenhouse in Michigan and then in another site. An eradication campaign was initiated, involving more than 650 facilities in 44 states, and in June 2020 USDA-APHIS announced that Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 had been successfully eradicated from US greenhouses. The pest status of Ralstonia solanacearum race 3 biovar 2 in the USA is officially declared as: Absent and eradicated from the United States. • Host plants Tomato chlorosis virus (Crinivirus, ToCV – EPPO A2 List) has been detected in seedlings of Tectona grandis (Lamiaceae) in Brazil. Affected plants were showing interveinal yellowing and were also infested by Bemisia tabaci (Borges et al., 2019). 2 EPPO Reporting Service 2020 no. 7 - General • New pests Phytophthora abietivora is a new species in the genus Phytophthora, described from diseased Christmas trees (Abies fraseri) in Connecticut (USA). The pathogen caused root rots leading to death of A. fraseri trees (Li et al., 2019). • Epidemiology Studies conducted in the Republic of Korea had shown that infected seeds of tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) could transmit Tomato yellow leaf curl virus (TYLCV - EPPO A2 List) (EPPO RS 2018/173). However, further surveys conducted by Pérez-Padilla et al. (2019) with the type strain (TYLCV-IL) on more than 3000 plants of seven tomato genotypes concluded that most of the virus is located externally, as contaminant of the seed coat and that TYLCV- IL is not seed transmitted in tomato.

This project is also supported by an EU grant agreement. This revision provides the opportunity to create dynamic datasheets in the EPPO Global Database in which the sections on pest identity, host range and geographical distribution are automatically generated by the database. It is planned that these dynamic datasheets will progressively replace the PDF documents that are currently stored in the database. Since the previous report (EPPO RS 2020/113), the following revised EPPO datasheets have been published in the EPPO Global Database: • Agrilus anxius: https://gd.eppo.int/taxon/AGRLAX/datasheet • Chrysanthemum stem necrosis virus: https://gd.eppo.int/taxon/CSNV00/datasheet • Heterobasidion irregulare: https://gd.eppo.int/taxon/HETEIR/datasheet • Pityophthorus juglandis: https://gd.eppo.int/taxon/PITOJU/datasheet Source: EPPO Secretariat (2020-07). Additional key words: publication Computer codes: AGRLAX, CSNV00, HETEIR, PITOJU 2020/139 Recommendations to policy makers from Euphresco projects The following research project has recently been carried out in the framework of Euphresco (network for phytosanitary research coordination and funding - hosted by EPPO). A report presenting the main objectives and results of this project, as well as recommendations made to policy makers can be viewed on the Internet. An International Plant Sentinel Network as an early-warning system; research on future pest threats (IPSN II) Plant health legislation is heavily reliant upon lists of known damaging organisms and Pest Risk Analyses are used to determine the potential risk that organisms pose. A vital issue for risk analysts and National Plant Protection Organizations (NPPOs) is the ‘unknown’ threats and the lack of knowledge regarding those new and emerging threats. The International Plant Sentinel Network project provided the proof of concept that botanic gardens can help NPPOs. Botanic garden staff, if provided with the right training, can support the work of NPPOs by monitoring plants in collections of botanic gardens and arboreta. Pest surveillance and reporting have been integrated into the normal working practices of botanic gardens of the International Plant Sentinel Network. Monitoring plants growing outside their native regions provides a valuable opportunity to increase knowledge about new pest-host relationships, thus supporting Pest Risk Analysis.

The book contains political essays about people who are well known in Belarus and abroad and who had the most direct relevance to the contemporary history of Belarus over the last 15 to 20 years. The author not only recalls some biographical data but also analyses the role of each of them in the development of Belarus. And there is another very important point. The articles collected in this book were written at different times, so today some changes can be introduced to dates, facts and opinions but the author did not do this INTENTIONALLY. People are not less interested in what we thought yesterday than in what we think today. Information and Op-Ed Publication 84 823 © Aliaksandr Tamkovich, 2014 AUTHOR’S PROLOGUE Probably, it is already known to many of those who talked to the author "on tape" but I will reiterate this idea. I have two encyclopedias on my bookshelves. One was published before 1995 when many people were not in the position yet to take their place in the contemporary history of Belarus. The other one was made recently. The fi rst book was very modest and the second book was printed on classy coated paper and richly decorated with photos.

They took place in September 2016 against the backdrop of a worsening economic situation and a complex foreign policy environment. The Belarusian authorities sought to receive a positive assessment of the elections by international bodies, and as the election campaign approached and during its course, direct repression of journalists decreased. However, at the system level, the situation has not changed for the better, and the legislation in the field of media regulation has only become tougher. This shows the situational nature and volatility of some positive changes in the media sector in 2016.

    The Youth of the 21st Century: Education, Science, Innovations Conclusion. The formation of visual arts skills is closely intertwined with the use of fundamental norms and principles of mindful visual perception, as well as with a set of concepts and terms necessary for more productive exploration and cognition. One way or another, there is always a need to direct a person to an unknown area of the visual arts, due to which there is a high probability of the manifestation and development of creative potential and rich imagination. 1.

Savkin1, A. Titov1, A. Lebedev1, M. Germenchuk2, A. Bouville3, N. Luckyanov3 1 State Research Center - Institute of Biophysics, Moscow, Russia E_mail: [email protected] 2Republican Centre of Radiation and Environmental monitoring, Minsk, Belarus 3DHHS, NIH, NCI, Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, Bethesda, MD, USA Abstract. In 2002, a special study was initiated on the additional collection of total beta-activity measurements in milk, milk products, and leafy vegetables conducted in Belarus in April through June 1986 after the Chernobyl accident with subsequent analysis and assessment of the 131I specific activity. This study is conducted in the framework of a long-term epidemiological study of thyroid diseases among 12,000 Belarusian children exposed to 131I in fallout from the Chernobyl accident. Within two months following the accident, a small number of spectrometric (about 160) and radiochemical (about 100) measurements of milk and milk products were made in Belarus, but a very large number (about 40,000) of measurements of total beta-activity were carried out using DP-100-M radiometric devices with gaseous discharge end-window counters as detecting elements. Almost all of the total beta-activity measurements in milk and milk products were conducted by the laboratories of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Inspection of the Ministry of Public Health and by the laboratories of the Main Agency of Veterinary of the Ministry of Agriculture of the USSR.

It was not only political rights » that were violated but social, economic and cultural rights as well. These viola- tions are constant and conditioned by the authoritys voluntary policy, with Lu- kashenka at its head. At the same time, human rights violations are not merely VIASNA a side-effect of the authoritarian state control; they are deliberately used as a « means of eradicating political opponents and creating an atmosphere of intimi- dation in the society. The negative dynamics is characterized by the growth of the number of victims of human rights violations and discrimination. Under these circums- tances, with a high level of latent violations and concealed facts, with great obstacles to human rights activity and overall fear in the society, the growth points to drastic stiffening of the regimes methods.

Whereas Polesie is one of the regions with a rich natural and cultural heritage. It is undoubtedly important to preserve this heritage in the most natural state and at the same time use its potential for the purposes of sustainable development of the region, where about 2 million people live, as well as for the growth of the economy of the entire country. In this study, we focus on economic aspects in order to assess the current state of tourism in rural areas, as well as tourism based on the sustainable use of natural potential (ecotourism). Among our tasks is a primary assessment of the efficiency and prospects of investments in this sector, determination of its potential for achieving the goals of socio- economic development.

  • SITUATION of HUMAN RIGHTS in BELARUS in 2014
    Human Rights Centre “Viasna” SITUATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS in BELARUS in 2014 REVIEW-CHRONICLE Minsk, 2015 SITUATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS IN BELARUS in 2014 REVIEW-CHRONICLE Author and compiler: Tatsiana Reviaka Editor and author of the foreword: Valiantsin Stefanovich The edition was prepared on the basis of reviews of human rights violations in Belarus published every month in 2014. Each of the monthly reviews includes an analysis of the most important events infl uencing the observance of human rights and outlines the most eloquent and characteristic facts of human rights abuses registered over the described period. The review was prepared on the basis of personal appeals of victims of human rights abuses and the facts which were either registered by human rights activists or reported by open informational sources. The book features photos from the archive of the Human Rights Center “Viasna”, as well as from publications on the websites of Radio Free Europe/ Radio Liberty Belarus service, the Nasha Niva newspaper, tv.lrytas.lt, baj.by, gazetaby.com, and taken by Franak Viachorka and Siarhei Hudzilin. Human Rights Situation in 2014: Trends and Evaluation The situation of human rights during 2014 remained consistently poor with a tendency to deterioration at the end of the year. Human rights violations were of both systemic and systematic nature: basic civil and political rights were extremely restricted, there were no systemic changes in the fi eld of human rights (at the legislative level and (or) at the level of practices). The only positive development during the year was the early release of Ales Bialiatski, Chairman of the Human Rights Centre “Viasna” and Vice-President of the International Federation for Human Rights.
