One of the outputs of this meeting was the establishment of the European Working Group on Earth Science Conservation, which evolved into ProGEO by 1993. Since then, 33 years have passed during which the discipline of Geoheritage has been consolidated worldwide, making Geoconservation a reality. The great advances achieved have materialized in specific legislation for geological heritage and geodiversity, the creation of the UNESCO Global Geoparks Program, the International Commission on Geoheritage (International Union of Geological Sciences), and the Geoheritage Experts Group of IUCN. It is within this international framework that ProGEO will this year 2021 become a worldwide scientific organization. The Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (IGME) has extensive experience in geoconservation, dating back to the 1970s. IGME was the organizer of the 3rd ProGEO Symposium in 1999 at Madrid, and is now once again the organizer of this 10th ProGEO Symposium, with the motto “Building Connections for Global Geoconservation”. We all would have liked to celebrate this Symposium in Segovia, as it had originally been planned for 2020, enjoying the architecture, gastronomy and night life of this beautiful city. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to postpone its celebration to 2021, and the global circumstances further forced a change of plans, obliging to carry out the Symposium fully virtual (online), adapting to the new reality, but also free of charge, thanks to the contributions of ProGEO and IGME. Far from being an obstacle, this online Symposium has facilitated the participation of more than 400 attendees from 58 different countries, with the presentation of 147 abstracts that are included in this book into 7 scientific sessions dedicated to: 1) inventories and research; 2) management and conservation; 3) education and public outreach; 4) geotourism, UNESCO Global Geoparks and local development; 5) geoconservation in protected areas; 6) moveable geoheritage; and 7) geoheritage and cultural heritage. We hope that the next ProGEO Symposium can be held with the entire scientific community in full contact, sharing experiences and knowledge of geoheritage and geoconservation on real geosites, and sharing moments together as we had always done. Opening doors to a global reality, with new countries and new colleagues, will be one of the best achievements of our international association after the Declaration of the 'Rights of the Memory of the Earth', written and approved at Digne-les-Bains (France) in 1991, 30 years ago: Our history and the history of the Earth cannot be separated. Its origins are our origins, its history is our history, and its future will be our future.

Some of its gems are controversial due to their morphological structure and lack of knowledge. Here we are trying to describe Haridru as a separate drug with its medicinal importance. As we know Ayurveda is a life science which deals with about every Dravya present in universe. Haridru is a plant having medicinal importance in Ayurveda but generally explains as a variety of Kadamba or Kadamba itself in many classical texts. We are trying to compile the data which proves that Haridru is a separate drug neither Kadamba nor its variety on the basis of its morphology, properties & actions as per Ayurveda. This study may be helpful for further researchers for conducting their studies because it‟s controversial kind of drug having not much research on this.

  • Perception of Local Geographical Specificity by the Population of Podolia
    88 ЕКОНОМІЧНА ТА СОЦІАЛЬНА ГЕОГРАФІЯ PERCEPTION OF LOCAL GEOGRAPHICAL SPECIFICITY BY THE POPULATION OF PODOLIA Oleksiy GNATIUK Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, Ukraine [email protected] Abstract: The article reveals the perception of local geographical specificity by the population of Podolia. Attention is focused on five elements of the local geographical specificity: natural, historical and cultural monuments; prominent personalities; trademarks and producers of goods and services; the origin settlement names; figurative poetic names of settlements. The tasks were the following: to determine basic qualitative and quantitative parameters of regional image-geographical systems, to find the main regularities of their spatial organization, and, finally, to classify administrative-territorial units of the region according to the basic properties of image-geographic systems using specially worked out method. Analysis made it clear that the population of Podolia is characterized by a high level of reflection of the local geographic specificity. Local image-geographical systems from different parts of the region have different structure and level of development. In particular, image-geographical systems in Vinnytsia and Ternopil oblasts are well developed, stable and hierarchized, in Khmelnitskyi oblast it is just developing, dynamic and so quite unstable. To further disclosure the regularities and patterns of local geographical specificity perception, it is advisable to carry out case studies of image-geographic systems at the level of individual settlements. Key words: territorial identity, local geographical specificity, geographic image UDC: 911.3 СПРИЙНЯТТЯ МІСЦЕВОЇ ГЕОГРАФІЧНОЇ СПЕЦИФІКИ НАСЕЛЕННЯМ ПОДІЛЛЯ Олексій ГНАТЮК Київський національний університет імені Тараса Шевченка, Україна [email protected] Анотація: У статті розглянуто сприйняття місцевої географічної специфіки населенням Подільського регіону.

This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract In this contribution, we present an evaluation of different mitigation plans to improve NO2 levels in Andalusia, a region in the south of Spain. Specifically, we consider four possible mitigation plans: the effects over NO2 concentration of apply changes in the distribution of Vehicles Park; the effect of realize traffic restrictions (affecting to the density flow of vehicles) over highways and main roads; the effect of replacement of diesel use by natural gas in urban areas; and the effect of ap- plying new velocity limits to access to urban areas. A sophisticated air quality modelling (AQM) system has been used to evaluate these mitigation plans. AQM implemented is composed on WRF meteorological model, an emission model created by the authors and CMAQ photochemical model. AQM analyzes mitigation plans during fifteen episodes of 2011 where NO2 levels were the highest of the year; so we analyze the effect of mitigation plans in worst conditions.

However, new information from the Western Caucasus where unique geological features are concentrated in Mountainous Ady- geya, implies that man-made features in fact add value to geoheritage. Such features include a lengthy artificial niche in the Guama Gorge, accumulations of large artificial clasts along the road leading to the Lagonaki Highland and the Khadzhokh Quarry with the artificial Red Lake. These contribute to the regional uniqueness of geosites and can be classified as geomorphological, sedimentary, economical and hydro(geo)logical geoheritage types. Interestingly, these artificial features have natural analogues in the study area.
