Nature‖ -the school multilateral partnership Comenius project, implemented by School Centre for Inclusive Education ―Orizont‖ Oradea, between September 2010-August 2012, is financed by Lifelong Learning Programme through the National Agency for projects and programmes in Education and Professional Formation. School Centre for Inclusive Education ―Orizont‖ Oradea, an education unit which schools students with special needs, manages to identify the students‘ needs and of the school community suggesting specific actions which valuate their competences. The actions and activities of the school are being appreciated by the local community and by the parents developing a most propitious partnership. The complexity of the educational programmes, the quality of the local, national and European partnerships, the degree of the school transparency towards the parents and students‘ needs were validated obtaining European School Certificate in the school year 2011-2012, a national competition in which prestigious school units in the country take part in and the assessment criteria are unitary indifferently from level or school structure. The objectives suggested within the ‗S.O.S. Nature‘ are correlated by the school particularity and the students‘ structure joining the theme in the national and European politics of environment protection. The development of students civic behaviour of a positive attitude towards the environment, respectively the exchange of a good practice‘ among the partner institutions constitute a priority. Within a generous partnership, in which countries like Hungary, Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Estonia, Turkey, Spain, Poland are to be found, practical activities were performed such as: constitution of a Eco club in each education unit, a site elaboration, accomplishing the project mascot, ecological activities, fitting a mini ecology lab or a green corner in each school. Therefore, the book is expected to be a dissemination of the activities performed within the programme and especially of the results, a variety of teaching modalities regarding ecology being correlated in the countries and school partners. A variety of the final products, in number and diversity: 15 CDs to present each partner institution, 1 site of the project with the activities and project final results (http://sosnature2010.wix.com/sosnature2010), a project mascot and logo, 450 printed T-shirts for students with some nature protection slogans, 9 Christmas trees made of recyclable materials, 9 CDs with ecology lessons taught in each partner schools, 450 folders of activities performed in the first year, 270 ecological calendars on 2012, 9 brochures on traditional, ecological food in each partner school, 9 exhibitions with products made of recyclable materials, 9 ecological corners with plants, an aquarium, bird cages or other animals in each school, 27 books which will include the presentation of the project, 15 CDs of the project activities ( 4 photos, videos) demonstrates teachers involvement, their professionalism, respectively the students‘ interest regarding the project theme. Certain events such as The Earth‘s Day, The European Day of Green Areas, The World Environment‘s Day, The World Water‘s Day have been celebrated through ecological activities, drawing competitions, distribution of ecological messages folders, collecting campaign of recyclable materials. The project, in its wholeness, through objectives, suggested activities and the obtained results valorises the little gestures of the students with special needs drawing the grownups attention, trying to make them responsible and motivate them to get involved in environment protection activities. Professor Florin Negruțiu, European Commissioner for Education Programs Bihor County School Inspectorate ,,S.O.S. Nature‖ One of the new education dimensions, that finds its deserved place step by step, among so many other fields of activity, is that one related to the environment or ecological education. In fact, this aspect represents a major importance in the contemporary world‘s problems alongside of peace and war, economical crisis, respecting human freedom and rights, democracy etc beyond the educational system. The education regarding the environment protection and information is one that satisfies the natural needs of knowledge present in the ontogenetic evolution of a child. ―Why does it rain?‖, ‗Why are the trees in blossom?‖, ‖ Why do they get yellow and the leaves fall?‖,‖ How are the stars born?‖ or ―How do they come to life?‖, ―Why do volcanoes erupt?‖… and many, many other questions which occur in the child‘s curious mind, interested in everything we see around us in the childhood or maturity. In the ―S.O.S. Nature‖ Multilateral Comenius Project, initiated by School Centre for Inclusive Education No.3 Oradea, in progress from September 2010-August 2012, the educational partners in the 9 countries proposed main objectives in children and youth education for a better knowledge and protection of the environment, for a positive attitude development towards this as well as the personal development of the participants by stimulating

Jerald Ainsworth Dean of the Graduate School CHESTNUT (CASTANEA spp.) CULTIVAR EVALUATION FOR COMMERCIAL CHESTNUT PRODUCTION IN HAMILTON COUNTY, TENNESSEE by Ana Maria Metaxas A Thesis Submitted to the Faculty of the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Environmental Science May 2013 ii ABSTRACT Chestnut cultivars were evaluated for their commercial applicability under the environmental conditions in Hamilton County, TN at 35°13ꞌ 45ꞌꞌ N 85° 00ꞌ 03.97ꞌꞌ W elevation 230 meters. In 2003 and 2004, 534 trees were planted, representing 64 different cultivars, varieties, and species. Twenty trees from each of 20 different cultivars were planted as five-tree plots in a randomized complete block design in four blocks of 100 trees each, amounting to 400 trees. The remaining 44 chestnut cultivars, varieties, and species served as a germplasm collection. These were planted in guard rows surrounding the four blocks in completely randomized, single-tree plots. In the analysis, we investigated our collection predominantly with the aim to: 1) discover the degree of acclimation of grower- recommended cultivars to southeastern Tennessee climatic conditions and 2) ascertain the cultivars’ ability to survive in the area with Cryphonectria parasitica and other chestnut diseases and pests present.

  • The Biological Resource Banks As a Secondary Tool for Wildlife Conservation
    © 2019 JETIR March 2019, Volume 6, Issue 3 www.jetir.org (ISSN-2349-5162) The Biological Resource Banks as a Secondary Tool for Wildlife Conservation Onkar Bagaria Department of Management Vivekananda Global University, Jaipur Email ID: [email protected] ABSTRACT: This work presents a Biological Resource Bank created to support the reproduction and in situ and ex situ conservation of the Iberian lynx as a complementary tool. The protection of the full existing genetic and biological diversity of the population and the harmless selection of the samples were prioritized in its design. We have processed and cryopreserved germ cells and tissues from dead animals, 7 males and 6 females, as well as somatic cells and tissues from 69 different individuals to provide potential reproductive opportunities via any possible technique. This reserve of somatic cells represents a very significant fraction of the biodiversity of the population, which will also allow the creation of a wide range of studies that can be easily extrapolated to most of the population. To isolate cells with stem-cell-like properties, we have established a new non- destructive process. Such cells may allow therapeutic applications if considered convenient in the future, and after proper study, and perhaps be a good source to be used in somatic cell nuclear transfer. There were also preserved samples of whole blood and its derivatives, hair, urine and faeces from several different people. In order to allow epidemiological studies to be carried out for the testing of different etiological hypotheses or, in general, to establish any bio-sanitary research to improve conservation strategies within the natural habitat, proper storage of such samples is required.
