TLDR
In this paper, the authors focus on the role of agriculture and fishing in the European level in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) and show that agriculture dominates in terms of direct contribution to GDP and numbers of people engaged in it, as well as accounting for the largest amount of public support expenditure.Abstract:
Agriculture and fishing are the primary source of almost all our food, as well as of many other products, so remain vital activities even though their share in the economy is small and in continuous decline. Partly for this reason public policy in these areas is almost entirely integrated at European level in the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and Common Fisheries Policy (CFP). Forestry policies are also heavily affected by EU-level decision-making. As agriculture dominates in terms of direct contribution to GDP and numbers of people engaged in it, as well as accounting for the largest amount of public support expenditure, it is agriculture that will receive the greatest attention here.read more

Atmospheric discharge and dispersion of radionuclides during the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. Part II : Verification of the source term and analysis of regional-scale atmospheric dispersion
TL;DR: The analysis of regional-scale atmospheric dispersion and deposition suggests that the present distribution of a large amount of (137)Cs deposition in eastern Japan was produced primarily by four events that occurred on March 12, 15-16, 20, and 21-23.

Phosphorus flows and balances of the European Union Member States.
TL;DR: Although wide-ranging variation between countries, generally phosphorus use in EU-27 was characterized by relatively large dependency on (primary) imports, long-term accumulation in agricultural soils, especially in west European countries, providing ample opportunities for improvement.

Rights-based fisheries governance: from fishing rights to human rights
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that more secure, less vulnerable fishers make more effective and motivated fishery managers in the context of participatory or rights-based fisheries governance, and further suggest that insecurity among fishers living in poverty can be most effectively addressed by social and political development that invokes the existing legal framework supporting the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

A high incidence of species substitution and mislabelling detected in meat products sold in South Africa
TL;DR: Overall, this study confirmed that the mislabelling of processed meats is commonplace in South Africa and not only violates food labelling regulations, but also poses economic, religious, ethical and health impacts.

Development of multiple-species 1km×1km resolution hourly basis emissions inventory for Japan
TL;DR: In this article, a new atmospheric emissions inventory, called "EAGrid2000-Japan" was developed to provide reliable fundamental data for studies of the long-range transport of air pollution in the East Asia region, specifically targeting Japan, in the year 2000.

The role of urban parks for the sustainable city.
TL;DR: In this paper, the importance of urban nature for citizens' well-being and for the sustainability of the city they inhabit is discussed, based on a survey conducted among visitors of an urban park in Amsterdam (The Netherlands).

Plant responses to abiotic stresses: heavy metal‐induced oxidative stress and protection by mycorrhization
TL;DR: The present results indicate that mycorrhization stimulated the phenolic defence system in the Paxillus-Pinus mycorRhizal symbiosis and Plants in certain mycor rhizal associations are less sensitive to cadmium stress than non-mycorrhizal plants.

Physiological changes in fish from stress in aquaculture with emphasis on the response and effects of corticosteroids
Bruce A. Barton,George K. Iwama +1 more
TL;DR: Stress, through the action of corticosteroids, may reduce immunocompetence by influencing lymphocyte numbers and antibody-production capacity, and affect reproduction by altering levels and patterns of reproductive hormones that influence maturation.

TL;DR: A full-length cDNA microarray containing approximately 7000 independent, full- length cDNA groups is prepared to analyse the expression profiles of genes under drought, cold (low temperature) and high-salinity stress conditions over time, suggesting that various transcriptional regulatory mechanisms function in the drought,cold or high- salinity stress signal transduction pathways.
