  • Global Warming and Mycoflora in the Baltic Region
    ACTA MYCOLOGICA Dedicated to Vol. 41 (1): 79-94 Prof Dr. ALINA SKIRGIEŁŁO, 2006 Warszawa, with motivation of her 95th birthday Global warming and mycoflora in the Baltic Region HANNS KREISEL Zur Schwedenschanze 4, D 17498 Potthagen, [email protected] Kreisel H.: Global warming and mycoflora in the Baltic Region. Acta Mycol. 41 (1): 79 94, 2006. The author discusses possible effects of global warming on distribution and ecology of larger fungi, and presents examples of suggested indicator species which apparently are spreading from south to north. Only Basidiomycetes are corncerned, while actually no case of non lichenized Ascomycetes is known. A continued monitoring of the mentioned species is recommended. Key words: mycoflora, Basidiomycetes, global warming, Baltic Region INTRODUCTION Global warming (climatic change) with its consequences for weather and local climate, rising sea level, retreat of glaciers and of polar ice calottes, and subsequent nature catastrophes, actually is much disputed in newspapers, journals, and book publications. Highly reputed specialists of climatology, oceanography, or physics, have investigated the phenomena (e. g. Rahmstorf, Schellnhuber 2006). Since the end of last Ice Age, some 15 000 years ago, climate in central and northern Europe is warming, and enormous ice calottes have retired from this re- gion, making possible a re-settelement of large areas by vegetation and fauna. This process was not continuous, but interrupted by phases of standstill alternating with phases of further warming. Nevertheless, the actual phase of relatively fast warming is regarded as man-made to a large extent, and therefore requires special attention by scientists. Also in mycology, we are contemporary witnesses of changes in distribution and ecology of fungi, and we should use the chance to observe and describe the corre- sponding evolutions.

  • RIVM Rapport 270051011 Dare to Compare! Benchmarking Dutch Health with the European Community Health Indicators (ECHI)
    Dare to Compare! Benchmarking Dutch health with the European Community Health Indicators (ECHI) How does public health in the Netherlands compare to public health in other European Union (EU) countries? Are we among the top five or lagging behind? Does the picture change when focusing on specific subjects? This report compares the Netherlands to EU countries along a set of more than eighty European health indicators on, for example, disease, lifestyle and prevention. This is the first time that the indicators that make up the so-called ECHI (European Community Health Indicator) shortlist are used for benchmarking Dutch public health. This shortlist has been adopted by the EU to assist health policy makers in identifying common challenges, priorities and opportunities, and to learn from other countries’ experiences. The systematic benchmark approach also provides a detailed view on the actual availability, comparability and quality of data sets, both within the Netherlands and throughout the EU. It becomes apparent that EU-funded projects and Eurostat activities increasingly contribute to better data quality and more valid comparisons, but much work is still to be done. Dare to Compare! Given the ambition of the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport to get the Netherlands back into the top five of the healthiest European countries, a benchmark is a good exercise to identify possibilities for improvement and issues that require policy attention. This report was commissioned by the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. Harbers MM | Van der Wilk EA | Kramers PGN | Kuunders MMAP | Verschuuren M | Eliyahu H | Achterberg PW Dare to Compare!

Munk10, Martin Nybom11, Yuri Ostrovsky12, Sumaiya Rahman13, & Outi Sirniö14 Abstract We compute rates of absolute upward income mobility for the 1960-1987 birth cohorts in eight countries in North America and Europe. Rates and trends in absolute mobility varied dramatically across countries during this period: the US and Canada saw upward mobility rates near 50% for recent cohorts, while countries like Norway and Finland saw sustained rates above 70%. Decomposition analysis suggests that differences in the marginal income distributions, especially the amount of cross-cohort income inequality, were the primary driver of differing mobility rates across countries. We also demonstrate that absolute mobility rates can be accurately estimated without linked parent-child data. 1 Assistant Professor Robert Manduca, Department of Sociology, University of Michigan, [email protected] 2 Dr. Maximilian Hell, Department of Sociology, Stanford University, [email protected] 3 Dr. Adrian Adermon, Institute for Evaluation of Labor Market and Education Policy, [email protected] 4 Dr.

  • Online Appendix 1 Analytical Results for the Representative-Agent Model 2 Micro-Data on the Cross-Sectional Distribution
    Online Appendix 1 Analytical results for the representative-agent model The steady-state equilibrium is characterized by the following equations. 1 = [1 + r(1 k)] (1) (1 l)w = (2) C K w = (1 ) (3) E 1 K r + = (4) E C = (1 l)wE + r(1 k)K + T (5) G + T = lwE + krK. (6) Proof of Lemma 1 Rearranging (1) gives 1 1 r = 1 . 1 k This can be combined with (4) to yield 1 1 K = E 0 1 1 1 + 1 1 k @ A which shows that K/E does not depend on l. K Proof of Proposition 2 Since H does not depend on l, (3) and (4) imply that w and r do not change with respect to changes in l across steady states. 2 Micro-data on the cross-sectional distribution Calibration uses statistics based on samples from the 2005 Panel Study of Income Dynamics (PSID) along with the Supplemental Wealth File. The original 2005 wave of the PSID covers about 8,000 1 representative U.S. households. I use both the PSID core families and the immigrant sample families that were added in 1997 and 1999, and thus use the weights provided by the PSID. I consider samples whose age is between 18 and 70. I exclude those whose main job is self-employment, given that the focus of this paper is on labor supply. The size of the final samples is 6,493. A household is defined as employed if the household head’sannual hours worked is greater than 1,000 hours since this paper focuses on full-time employment.

  • Currant Varieties (PDF)
    Currant Varieties for the Northwest & Intermountain West Danny L. Barney, Ph.D. Growing and importing currants was once banned in Idaho and many other states because these crops are the alternate hosts of the blister rust disease that once devastated white and other five-needled pines in North America. European black currants are especially susceptible to the disease, while many red and white cultivars are resistant. As blister rust resistant pines were bred and planted, the need for the ban decreased and restrictions were removed. There are presently no restrictions on importing or growing currants in Idaho. Although Idaho no longer restricts the importation or growing of currants and gooseberries, environmental risks continue. The disease is well established in native Ribes species, and continues to threaten non-timber, five-needled pines, such as whitebark pine. If you live in an area where five-needled pines can be found, select blister rust resistant or immune currant and gooseberry cultivars. Black currant cultivars 'Titania,' 'Consort,' 'Coronet,' and 'Crusader' are resistant to blister rust. Black Currants Expected yield: 5 pounds per bush Age to maturity: 3 to 4 years Productive life: 15 years or more Cold hardiness: -20 to -31 F Optimal pH: 5.8 to 6.8 Spacing: 4 to 5 feet apart in rows 8 to 10 feet Powdery Cultivar Ripens Fruit Size Mildew Comments Resistance Berries produce juice of very high quality with high color stability. The Ben Alder 1 M G canes are vigorous, and can become dense. Late flowering makes this cultivar somewhat resistant to spring frosts. High yielding under ideal conditions, but low yields and marked susceptibility to white pine blister rust have been reported from the northeastern United States.
