In a digital world, Free Software is the fundament of Open Knowledge, Open Innovation and Open Science. [] Software is an integral part of today's society. Our daily interactions, transactions, education, communication channels, work and life environments rely heavily on software. "Free Software" refers to all programs distributed under terms and licences that allow users to run the software for any purpose, to study how the program works, to adapt the program to their needs, to improve the program and to distribute the improved version of it so that the general public can benefit. Source code is a precondition for a user to study how the program works. The Free Software ideals of transparency, openness and collaboration are very much the same as the principles endorsed in scientific community, theory and process, and will support scientific and technological innovation in Europe and worldwide. [] This paper summarises the FSFE's key recommendations on the midterm evaluation of the Horizon 2020 and the European Commission' s efforts to draft the Framework Programme 2018-2020. Implementing these recommendations will unlock the full potential of Open Science and Open Access investments, which are at the core of Horizon 2020. [Excerpt] In line with the European Parliament resolution of 19 January 2016 "Towards a Digital Single Market Act" (2015/2147(INI)) and common practices in major research institutions such as MIT, CERN and others, the FSFE makes the following recommendations: [::1] Open Standards should be preferred for all knowledge exchange, and in particular for the dissemination of scientific publications and the archival of all articles, data, and software used in scientific research. The use of Open Standards in data and software repositories and Data Management Plans (DMPs) concerning the Horizon 2020 publications, is necessary to ensure data preservation and Open Science. Research Funding Organisations should take the lead and foster changes of business models when dealing with research data. [::2] Software developed with public funding, and in particular in the framework of the Horizon2020 programme should be mandatorily published under a Free Software licence. [::3] Software developed with public funding, and in particular in the framework of the Horizon2020 programme should be mandatorily archived in a public software repository ensuring long term availability and persistent identification. [::4] Data and software repositories and Data Management Plans (DMPs) must employ Free Software in order to ensure unfettered access to their contents and long term preservation.

However, to date most methods have shown sub-optimal performance under realistic demographic scenarios. Moreover, over the past decade there has been a renewed interest in determining the importance of selection from standing variation in adaptation of natural populations, yet very few methods for inferring this model of adaptation at the genome scale have been introduced. Here we introduce a new method, S/HIC, which uses supervised machine learning to precisely infer the location of both hard and soft selective sweeps. We show that S/HIC has unrivaled accuracy for detecting sweeps under demographic histories that are relevant to human populations, and distinguishing sweeps from linked as well as neutrally evolving regions. Moreover, we show that S/HIC is uniquely robust among its competitors to model misspecification. Thus, even if the true demographic model of a population differs catastrophically from that specified by the user, S/HIC still retains impressive discriminatory power. Finally, we apply S/HIC to the case of resequencing data from human chromosome 18 in a European population sample, and demonstrate that we can reliably recover selective sweeps that have been identified earlier using less specific and sensitive methods.}, language = {en}, number = {3}, urldate = {2019-03-01TZ}, journal = {PLOS Genetics}, author = {Schrider, Daniel R. and Kern, Andrew D.}, month = mar, year = {2016}, keywords = {Decision trees, Europe, Genomics statistics, Haplotypes, Machine learning, Population genetics, Population size, Simulation and modeling}, pages = {e1005928} }

[\n] The State of Europe's Forests 2015 report is organised in two parts. The first part (Overall Policies, Institutions and Instruments for Sustainable Forest Management) provides general information about the way forests are governed in a country through the policies, institutions and instruments for {SFM}. These aspects are covered by five Qualitative1 Indicators, and changes reported in these indicators over time reflect the responses of policy makers to challenges and opportunities related to forests and {SFM}. The second part (European Forests: Status, Trends and Policy Responses) has been prepared following the Advisory Group recommendations and on the basis of data gleaned from the 35 Quantitative Indicators, which provide information on the current status and changes in European forests and progress on {SFM}, and from the 12 Qualitative Indicators, which shed light on the policies, institutions and instruments used to address specific policy areas related to the afore mentioned Quantitative Indicators. This second part is structured according to the Six Criteria for {SFM} and includes the respective Quantitative Indicators and Qualitative Indicators directly related to them.

Dexmedetomidine is also used intravenously at different intensive care units with the purpose of sedation of children. In this paper, we assess 51 minor trials in the form of 44 randomized controlled trials and 7 prospective observational studies in an attempt to update the available evidence on dexmedetomidine use in pediatrics. Furthermore, we discuss its potential indications, benefits and adverse effects. However, it is important to state that much of the existing evidence favoring dexmedetomidine in children is either extrapolated from adult studies or based on small randomized controlled trials and observational studies with their inherent methodological shortcomings and confounding factors. Based on the best current evidence dexmedetomidine is found suitable and safe for various indications. However, in order to discover its full potential, indications, dosing and safety profile for various ages and procedures, it should urgently be examined by conducting good quality pediatric trials.

To this end, an economic forest-based sector model, the Global Forest Trade Model (GFTM), is being developed at the Forest Resources and Climate unit of the Institute for Environment and Sustainability (IES). The GFTM is an equilibrium trade-based model for the forest sector with the aim of providing projections of production and trade of wood-based products and pellets for 48 countries/sub-regions of the world, with a focus on EU. This technical report describes the set-up of the model.The study outlines the theoretical framework, the programming of the model in MatLab, data collection, parameters used, and the calibration of the model. Presented test runs with GFTM indicates that the model behaves in a logically consistent way, all in all well in line what can be expected from economic theory. The next steps in the development process entail trying out linkages with a forest resource model and a dedicated energy model. [Excerpt: Summary and conclusions] The importance of the forest-based sector in the Bioeconomy of the EU calls for the use of forest-based sector models, integrating dynamics of forest resources, timber markets, forest-based industry processes, and forest-based product market demand. As part of the integrated modelling framework for the Bioeconomy, the IES has developed the Global Forest Sector Model (GFTM) presented in this report. In order to be suitable for forest policy analysis, a forest sector model should ideally meet on the one hand the necessity to be as disaggregated as possible both in terms of geographical scope and products covered, and, on the other hand, the necessity to maintain a certain degree of aggregation in order to limit numerical problems. [\textbackslash n] Runs with GFTM, presented in this report, indicate that the model behaves well in line with what can be expected from economic theory and established knowledge regarding forest-based industry processes. Therefore, GFTM seems to have struck a reasonable balance between the objectives of disaggregation and computability respectively. It is true though, that, as other current forest-based sector models, GFTM does not, with the exception of wood pellets, deal with '' new/emerging products'', an obvious shortcoming. However, as there are very limited information as to demand functions, production techniques ( '' conversion factors''), and limited data as to production and trade for these products, they have yet to be dealt with in mainly a qualitative sense. [\textbackslash n] As the forest-based sector is highly globalized, GFTM focus on tradable products. In some cases, representation of bilateral trade flows might also turn out to be useful. This will certainly be a topic for future research. Finally, a valid model for the forest sector should represent the production process in a sufficiently accurate way to allow the traceability of the impact of policy from primary resources availability, through the industrial transformation process, and finally to consumption and trade. The industry module of the GFTM has been precisely constructed to this aim. [\textbackslash n] For what concerns the results presented in this reports, somewhat surprising is the (albeit modest) decrease in projected wood pellets consumption of EU countries. As pointed out earlier, this gives a clear indication that wood pellets consumption to a large extent is contingent upon other factors than pure economic drivers. In general, the results, as regards wood pellets projections, should be interpreted with a certain degree of caution, since the GFTM is not dealing with the energy sector. Thus, only the competition between pellets and other wood-based products is regarded as relevant for reaching the market equilibrium. [\textbackslash n] However, this issue will be resolved soon as the GFTM is planned to ingest demand for wood pellets exogenously, from a dedicated energy-model (see suggested modelling set up in Figure 22 below). Results of the test of arbitrarily fixing the wood pellets consumption levels for respective projected period indicate that GFTM behaves in a logically consistent way, thus allowing, e.g., the assessment of the effects of an increased demand for wood pellets in terms of the production (and consequently also consumption) of other wood-based commodities. [\textbackslash n] The GFTM model will soon become part of the integrated Bioeconomy modelling framework of the JRC. Indeed, besides the obvious link with the forest resource models used by JRC -- the Carbon Budget Model (CBM) and the European Forestry Dynamics Model (EFDM) -- the GFTM could also work in cooperation with dedicated energy models. Doing so, GFTM is well-poised for assessing competition as well as synergies between material and energy uses of woody biomass. Next steps in the modelling development will entail testing these linkages.}, isbn = {978-92-79-50192-0}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-13693288,~to-add-doi-URL,bioeconomy,economic-impacts,europe,featured-publication,forest-resources,global-scale}, lccn = {INRMM-MiD:c-13693288}, series = {{{EUR}} - {{Scientific}} and {{Technical Research}}} }

Although the bioclimatic complexity of the European continent is high, a particular combination of 12 climatic and topographic covariates was recently found able to reliably reproduce the ecological zoning of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for forest resources assessment at pan-European scale, generating the first fuzzy similarity map of FAO ecozones in Europe. The reproducible procedure followed to derive this collection of bioclimatic indices is now presented. It required an integration of data-transformation modules (D-TM) using geospatial tools such as Geographic Information System (GIS) software, and array-based mathematical implementation such as semantic array programming (SemAP). Base variables, intermediate and final covariates are described and semantically defined by providing the workflow of D-TMs and the mathematical formulation following the SemAP notation. Source layers to derive base variables were extracted by exclusively relying on global-scale public open geodata in order for the same set of bioclimatic covariates to be reproducible in any region worldwide. In particular, two freely available datasets were exploited for temperature and precipitation (WorldClim) and elevation (Global Multi-resolution Terrain Elevation Data). The working extent covers the European continent to the Urals with a resolution of 30 arc-second. The proposed set of bioclimatic covariates will be made available as open data in the European Forest Data Centre (EFDAC). The forthcoming complete set of D-TM codelets will enable the 12 covariates to be easily reproduced and expanded through free software.}, archivePrefix = {arXiv}, eprint = {1410.2707}, eprinttype = {arxiv}, journal = {IEEE Earthzine}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-13385094,bioclimatic-predictors,ecological-zones,ecology,europe,fagus-sylvatica,geospatial,geospatial-semantic-array-programming,semantic-array-programming,semap,solar-radiation}, lccn = {INRMM-MiD:c-13385094}, number = {2} }
@article{ citeulike:13133263, abstract = {Soil erosion by water is one of the most widespread forms of soil degradation. The loss of soil as a result of erosion can lead to decline in organic matter and nutrient contents, breakdown of soil structure and reduction of the water holding capacity. Measuring soil loss across the whole landscape is impractical and thus research is needed to improve methods of estimating soil erosion with computational modelling, upon which integrated assessment and mitigation strategies may be based. Despite the efforts, the prediction value of existing models is still limited, especially at regional and continental scale. A new approach for modelling soil erosion at large spatial scale is here proposed. It is based on the joint use of low data demanding models and innovative techniques for better estimating model inputs. The proposed modelling architecture has at its basis the semantic array programming paradigm and a strong effort towards computational reproducibility. An extended version of the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation ({RUSLE}) has been implemented merging different empirical rainfall-erosivity equations within a climatic ensemble model and adding a new factor for a better consideration of soil stoniness within the model. {Pan-European} soil erosion rates by water have been estimated through the use of publicly available datasets and locally reliable empirical relationships. The accuracy of the results is corroborated by a visual plausibility check (63% of a random sample of grid cells are accurate, 83% at least moderately accurate, bootstrap p ≤ 0.05).

At geological time-scales there is a balance between erosion and soil formation, but in many areas of the world today there is an imbalance with respect to soil loss and its subsequent deposition, principally caused by anthropogenic activity and climate change. Detailed methods regarding soil erosion dynamics are growingly available at local and catchment scale. The integrated assessment of natural hazards often require wider scales to be considered. At these scales, computational modelling need to deal with multiple sources of uncertainty. This complex modelling activity is required in order to assess appropriate management options (Integrated Natural Resources Modelling and Management, INRMM). There is usually a discrepancy between the spatial scale at which the process is studied and formulated, the scale at which information is available (e.g. a generalized value for land use or land cover unit), and the scale at which policy-makers or managers need to make decisions (watersheds, regions or wider scale). Modelling strategies typical of the local scale may not be suitable for large scale analysis. At regional or wider scale, the predictive power of existing models is still limited. Empirical approaches based on regressions may offer a way for reducing the modelling uncertainty (mainly reducing the input parameters uncertainty), partially explaining why regression-based models often better predict soil erosion than physically based models. The present report shows the way followed for calculating the cover-management and the soil erodibility factor in applying the e-RUSLE soil erosion model at pan-European scale. The e-RUSLE is a model that estimates soil loss due to sheet and rill erosion extending a well-established empirical model. The extended model is based on the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE). e-RUSLE is an array-based, semantically enhanced modification of the RUSLE exploiting the multiplicity intrinsic in large scale complex and uncertain problems. Its architecture takes advantage from the semantic array programming (SemAP) paradigm. The model considers seven main factors controlling soil erosion: the erosivity of the eroding agents (water), the erodibility of the soil, the slope steepness and the slope length of the land, the land cover, the stoniness and the human practices designed to control erosion. In an effort for increasing the reproducibility in soil erosion modelling and for obtaining the most complete and homogeneous pan-European coverage, our attention was mainly focused in using only publicly available datasets and free scientific software for applying the e-RUSLE model and its factors. Implementing the e-RUSLE model we also introduced an innovative SemAP ensemble model, based on climatic similarity, for estimating rain erosivity from multiple available empirical relationships. Further researches are ongoing for applying the same technique to the cover-management factor, in order to obtain a more homogeneous pan-European cover.}, journal = {Scientific Topics Focus}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-13419103,~to-add-doi-URL,e-rusle,erodibility,europe,land-cover,rusle,scientific-topics-focus,semantic-array-programming,semap,soil-erosion,soil-resources}, lccn = {INRMM-MiD:c-13419103}, series = {Notes {{Transdiscipl}}. {{Model}}. {{Env}}.} }

Omalizumab, a humanized anti-IgE mAb, specifically binds free IgE and interrupts the allergic cascade by preventing binding of IgE with its high-affinity FcepsilonRI receptors on mast cells, antigen-presenting cells, and other inflammatory cells. The clinical efficacy of omalizumab has been well documented in a number of clinical trials that involve adults, adolescents, and children with moderate-to-severe and severe allergic asthma. In these studies, omalizumab reduced exacerbations, asthma symptoms, inhaled corticosteroid and rescue medication use, and improved quality of life relative to placebo or best standard of care. Similar benefits have been reported in observational studies in "real-world" populations of patients. Results from recent pooled data from randomized clinical trials and from a large prospective cohort study provide reassurance about the long-term safety of omalizumab. Omalizumab dosing is individualized according to body weight and serum-IgE level, and recent adjustments to the dosing algorithm in Europe have enabled more patients to be eligible for treatment.

The model allows a wide assessment and comparison to be performed across country in terms of structural (spatially connected or isolated sites) and functional connectivity (least-cost distances between sites influenced by distribution, distance and land cover).

Connectivity has been assessed on the basis of 500 m average inter-site distance, roads and intensive land use as barrier effect as well as the presence of "green" corridors. In all countries the Natura 2000 network is mostly made of sites which are not physically connected. Highest functional connectivity values are found for Spain, Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria. The more natural landscape in Sweden and Finland does not result in high inter-site network connectivity due to large inter-site distances.

The men who launched these exploits from Andalusia to the snowy fields of Ukraine--Colonel Rafael del Riego, General Guglielmo Pepe, General Alexandros Ypsilanti, and Colonel Sergei Muraviev-Apostol--all hoped to overturn the old order. Over the next six years, their revolutions ended in failure. The men who led them became martyrs. In The Four Horsemen, the late, eminent historian Richard Stites offers a compelling narrative history of these four revolutions. Stites sets the stories side by side, allowing him to compare events and movements and so illuminate such topics as the transfer of ideas and peoples across frontiers, the formation of an international community of revolutionaries, and the appropriation of Christian symbols and language for secular purposes. He shows how expressive behavior and artifacts of all kinds--art, popular festivities, propaganda, and religion--worked their way to various degrees into all the revolutionary movements and regimes. And he documents as well the corruption, abandonment of liberal values, and outright betrayal of the revolution that emerged in Spain and Naples; the clash of ambitions and ideas that wracked the unity of the Decembrists' cause; and civil war that erupted in the midst of the Greek struggle for independence. Richard Stites was one of the most imaginative and broad-ranging historians working in the United States.

The aim of this contribution is to highlight how a continental scale information system may exploit and integrate FOSS technologies within the transdisciplinary research underpinning such a complex system.

[::] Conflicts on environmental consequences from bioenergy policy are reconcilable. [::] Conflicts on globally shared rights and responsibilities are not easily reconciled. [Abstract] Growing concerns over emissions of green-house gases causing climate change as well as energy security concerns have spurred the interest in bioenergy production pushed by EU targets to fulfil the goal of 20~per cent renewable energy in 2020, as well as the goal of 10~per cent renewable fuels in transport by 2020. Increased bioenergy production is also seen to have political and economic benefits for rural areas and farming regions in Europe and in the developing world. There are, however, conflicting views on the potential benefits of large scale bioenergy production, and recent debates have also drawn attention to a range of environmental and socio-economic issues that may arise in this respect. One of these challenges will be that of accommodating forest uses - including wood for energy, and resulting intensification of forest management - with biodiversity protection in order to meet EU policy goals. We note that the use of biomass and biofuels spans over several economic sector policy areas, which calls for assessing and integrating environmental concerns across forest, agriculture, energy and transport sectors. In this paper, we employ frame analysis to identify the arguments for promoting bioenergy and assess the potential policy conflicts in the relevant sectors, through the analytical lens of environmental policy integration. We conclude that while there is considerable leverage of environmental arguments in favour of bioenergy in the studied economic sectors, and potential synergies with other policy goals, environmental interest groups remain sceptical to just how bioenergy is currently being promoted. There is a highly polarised debate particularly relating to biofuel production. Based on our analysis, we discuss the potential for how those issues could be reconciled drawing on the frame conflict theory, distinguishing between policy disagreements and policy controversies.}, journal = {Forest Policy and Economics}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-11738844,~to-add-doi-URL,bioenergy,biomass,europe,forest-resources,ghg,science-policy-interface,uncertainty}, lccn = {INRMM-MiD:c-11738844} }

Results were used in the Forest EUROPE, UN ECE and FAO joint ministerial reporting process on the protection of forests in Europe where data on forest pattern do not exist from national forest inventories. In the EU, 40\,\% of the forest lands are within a 100m distance from other lands, thus potentially less suitable as interior habitat and more likely to be exposed to invasive species, pests and diseases. Forest edges are also mainly (60\%) along intensive land uses. In Europe, 40\,\% of woodlands have in their 1km2 surroundings a mosaic landscape of other natural/semi-natural lands, agriculture and artificial lands, 15\,\% of woodlands are strongly fragmented by mainly intensive land uses. Landscapes with woodlands poorly connected represent 70\,\% of the European territory and are potentially more vulnerable to further fragmentation in the future. National profiles of forest pattern were also provided. The mitigation of ecosystem fragmentation is also important in new targets of the European Biodiversity strategy to 2020. By affecting ecological processes, fragmentation affects ecosystem services such as habitat provision, pollination, and has also an impact on pest propagation in different ways. Forest area is still increasing in Europe at an annual rate of 0.4\,\% but the JRC assessment showed that new forest areas do not always enhance connectivity. For example, in the Iberian Peninsula, the net forest gain in the 1990-2006 period had no impact on connectivity for nearly 10\,\% of the landscapes. Further, the forest fragmentation processes that were found need to be captured at landscape level. They consist of minor forest losses due to intensive agriculture, transport infrastructures, settlements and fires. These findings support the consideration of forest spatial pattern and fragmentation in sustainable forest management plans for a regional landscape planning of clearings and re/afforestation measures and for habitat provision ecosystem services, particularly in the context of climate change.}, isbn = {978-92-79-28118-1}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-12613694,~to-add-doi-URL,connectivity,europe,european-commission,forest-resources,fragmentation,landscape-modelling,mastrave-modelling-library,spatial-pattern}, lccn = {INRMM-MiD:c-12613694}, series = {{{EUR}} - {{Scientific}} and {{Technical Research}}} }

Many of these maps are potential input datasets for forest-related applications for the European Union (EU), due to their spatial extent and harmonised approach at the European level. However, they possess different characteristics in terms of spatial detail or thematic accuracy. Little attention has been paid to the effect of these characteristics on simulation models and the resultant policy implications. In this study we tested whether the choice of a forest map has substantial influence on model output, i.e. if output differences can be related to the input differences. A sensitivity analysis of the spatially explicit Global Forest Model (G4M) was performed using four different forest maps: the pan-European high resolution forest/non-forest map (FMAP), the Corine Land Cover (CLC), the Calibrated European Forest Map (CEFM) and the Global Land Cover (GLC). Finally, the impact of potential differences owing to input datasets on decision-making was tested in a selected case study: reaching the EU 10\,\% biofuel target through enhanced utilization of forest biomass. The sensitivity analysis showed that the choice of the forest cover map has a major influence on the model outputs in particular at the country-level, while having less influence at the EU27 level. Differences between the input datasets are strongly reflected in the outputs. Similarly, depending on the choice of the input alternate options for decision-making were found within the hypothesized biofuel target (case study), demonstrating a substantial value of information. In general, it was demonstrated that input maps are the major driver of decision-making if forest resource outputs of the model are their basis.

@techreport{citeulike:14284151, abstract = {[Excerpt: Executive Summary] Strategic discussions among {EEA} member countries and the main {EU} institutions responsible for environmental policy, reporting and assessment have underlined an increasing need for quantitative information on the state of the environment based on timely, quality-assured data, concerning in particular land cover and land use. Based on these requirements {EEA} has been collaborating since 2006 with the European Commission and the European Space Agency on the implementation of a fast track service on land monitoring as part of the implementation of {GMES}. [\n] {CORINE} Land Cover 2006 is the third European Land Cover inventory (1990, 2000 and 2006). The number of participating countries is increasing, at present being nominally 39. New countries ({CH}, {IS}, {NO}, {TR}) not participating previous {CLC} inventories have joined the project. Altogether 38 countries have implemented {CLC2006}. [\n] {CLC2006} project is co-financed by the {EEA} and the member countries, and covers 5.8 Mkm2 of the European continent. For production of {CLC}-Change2000-2006 database ” change-mapping first” visual photo-interpretation technology was successfully applied by majority of countries. Scandinavian countries replaced part of labour-intensive photointerpretation with {GIS} and image processing. {CLC2006} database was usually produced in {GIS} by adding {CLC}-Change2000-2006 to revised {CLC2000}. [\n] A Technical Team under {ETC}-{LUSI} was responsible for technical follow-up of the project, i.e. training of national teams and verification of results. National teams used multitemporal (2 coverages) {SPOT}-4/5 and/or {IRS}-P6 imagery to derive the minimum 5 ha land cover changes that occurred between 2000 and 2006. Ortho-corrected satellite images provided a solid geometrical basis for mapping land cover changes. Particular emphasis was placed on mapping real change processes. Several national teams had access to recent topographic maps and digital orthophotos as in-situ data. The standard {CLC} nomenclature used since the mid 1980's was applicable, although minor modifications were required due to involvement of new countries and occurrence of specific changes. Recent report also presents examples of (1) typical cases of significant change processes, and (2) typical mistakes, which have to be avoided. [\n] Results of the {CLC2006} project ({CLC2006} and {CLC}-Change2000-2006 databases) are for free available from the {EEA} for any users. Results show that land cover changed on 1.24\% of the surface of Europe between 2000 and 2006, which is equivalent to the size of Lithuania. Forestry changes (forest felling and growth) constitute the largest change area, also providing the highest number of change polygons. Several policy-relevant processes can be derived from the {CLC}-Change dataset based on Land Cover Flows, such as urban sprawl, changes in agriculture and forestry, new water bodies etc. Portugal is the country having far more the highest {CLC} dynamics: the change rate exceeds 1.4 \%/year between 2000 and 2006. On the other end, the less dynamic countries are Malta, Switzerland and Slovenia having changed less than 0.01\%/year. The average yearly land cover change value in Europe is 0.23\%. [\n] Stratified random sampling was used for validating {CLC}-Change2000-2006. The obtained 87.82\%±3.30\% (commission error only) overall accuracy based on 2405 samples is satisfying. Omissions were not possible to measure due to the very large sample size required, being the consequence of small change percentage. [\n] Additional testing of ten important level-3 changes (belonging to eight different Land Cover Flows) showed that all but two change types have more than 85\% accuracy. Only two change types were mapped with accuracy lower than 85\%: (1) growth of coniferous forests; (2) pasture/set-aside land turned to arable land. [\n] Main reasons of the 3-year-long implementation time are difficulties in providing national contribution and long {GIS} integration time in some of the 38 participants.

Some reasons for this include the increased disturbance by humans to forest ecosystems, changed climatic conditions and intensified international trade. Although many of the contributing factors to the changed disease scenarios are anthropogenic, there has been a reluctance to control them by legislation, other forms of government authority or through public involvement. Some of the primary obstacles relate to problems in communicating biological understanding of concepts to the political sphere of society. Relevant response to new disease scenarios is very often associated with a proper understanding of intraspecific variation in the challenging pathogen. Other factors could be technical, based on a lack of understanding of possible countermeasures. There are also philosophical reasons, such as the view that forests are part of the natural ecosystems and should not be managed for natural disturbances such as disease outbreaks.

The number of participating countries is increasing, at present being nominally 39. New countries (CH, IS, NO, TR) not participating previous CLC inventories have joined the project. At the time of writing of this abstract (December 2010) 37 countries have finished CLC2006. CLC2006 project is co-financed by EEA and member countries, and covers 5.8 Mkm2 of the European continent. For production of CLC-Change2000-2006 database '' change-mapping first'' visual photo-interpretation technology was successfully applied by majority of countries. Scandinavian countries replaced part of labour-intensive photo-interpretation with GIS and image processing. CLC2006 database was usually produced in GIS by adding CLC-Change2000-2006 to revised CLC2000. A Technical Team under ETC-LUSI was responsible for technical follow-up of the project. National teams used multi-temporal (2 coverages) SPOT-4/5 and/or IRS-P6 imagery to interpret the minimum 5 ha land cover changes that occurred between 2000 and 2006. Ortho-corrected satellite images provided a solid geometrical basis for mapping land cover changes. Particular emphasis was placed on mapping real change processes. The standard CLC nomenclature applied since the mid 1980's was applicable, although minor modifications were required due to the involvement of new countries and occurrence of specific changes. Results show that land cover changed on 1.25\,\% of the surface of Europe between 2000 and 2006, which is equivalent to the size of Lithuania. Forestry changes (forest felling and growth) constitute the largest change area; they also provide the highest number of change polygons. The method of stratified random sampling was used for validating CLC-Change2000-2006. The obtained 87.8\%{$\pm$}3.3\,\% (commission error only) overall accuracy based on 2405 samples is satisfying. Omissions were not possible to measure due to the very large sample size required, being the consequence of small change percentage. Additional testing of ten important level-3 changes (belonging to eight different Land Cover Flows) showed that all but two change types have more than 85\,\% accuracy.

In the last years, several mapping approaches have been developed in order to provide such information for Europe in a harmonized way. Each of these maps exhibits particular properties and varies in accuracy. Yet, they are often used in parallel for different modeling purposes. A detailed spatial comparison seemed necessary in order to provide information on the advantages and limitations of each of these forest cover maps in order to facilitate their selection for modeling purposes. This article confronts the high-resolution forest cover map recently developed by the Joint Research Centre for the year 2000 (FMAP2000) with previously existing maps for the same time period: the CORINE Land Cover 2000 (CLC2000) and the Calibrated European Forest Map 1996 (CEFM1996). The spatial comparison of these three maps was carried out based on forest proportion maps of 1 km derived from the original maps. To characterize differences according to biogeographic regions, two criteria were used: detail of thematic content within each map and local spatial agreement. Concerning thematic content, CLC2000 displayed a surfeit of non-forested areas at the cost of low forest proportions, while FMAP2000 showed a more balanced distribution likely to preserve more detail in forest spatial pattern. Good spatial agreement was found for CLC2000 and FMAP2000 within about 70\,\% of the study area, while only 50\,\% agreement was found when compared with CEFM1996. The largest spatial differences between all maps were found in the Alpine and Mediterranean regions.

@article{citeulike:8824837, abstract = {Quantitative estimates of the economic damages of climate change usually are based on aggregate relationships linking average temperature change to loss in gross domestic product ({GDP}). However, there is a clear need for further detail in the regional and sectoral dimensions of impact assessments to design and prioritize adaptation strategies. New developments in regional climate modeling and physical-impact modeling in Europe allow a better exploration of those dimensions. This article quantifies the potential consequences of climate change in Europe in four market impact categories (agriculture, river floods, coastal areas, and tourism) and one nonmarket impact (human health). The methodology integrates a set of coherent, high-resolution climate change projections and physical models into an economic modeling framework. We find that if the climate of the 2080s were to occur today, the annual loss in household welfare in the European Union ({EU}) resulting from the four market impacts would range between 0.2–1\%. If the welfare loss is assumed to be constant over time, climate change may halve the {EU}'s annual welfare growth. Scenarios with warmer temperatures and a higher rise in sea level result in more severe economic damage. However, the results show that there are large variations across European regions. Southern Europe, the British Isles, and Central Europe North appear most sensitive to climate change. Northern Europe, on the other hand, is the only region with net economic benefits, driven mainly by the positive effects on agriculture.

Forests are particularly sensitive to climate change, because the long life-span of trees does not allow for rapid adaptation to environmental changes. Adaptation measures for forestry need to be planned well in advance of expected changes in growing conditions because the forests regenerated today will have to cope with the future climate conditions of at least several decades, often even more than 100 years. Impacts of climate change and adaptation options were reviewed by synthesizing the existing knowledge from scientific literature, complemented with expert assessments. On-going and planned adaptation measures in EU27 Member States were surveyed with a questionnaire. The exposure to climate change was analysed by reviewing latest climate change scenario projections. The main impact factors affecting forests under climate change were reviewed. Next, the sensitivity to and potential impacts of climate change were analysed. After reviewing different components of the adaptive capacity of forests and forestry, vulnerability to climate change and related risks and opportunities were highlighted.

We studied forest floor and mineral soil carbon and nitrogen under six common European tree species in a common garden design replicated at six sites in Denmark. Three decades after planting the six tree species had different profiles in terms of litterfall, forest floor and mineral soil C and N attributes. Three groups were identified: (1) ash, maple and lime, (2) beech and oak, and (3) spruce. There were significant differences in forest floor and soil C and N contents and C/N ratios, also among the five deciduous tree species. The influence of tree species was most pronounced in the forest floor, where C and N contents increased in the order ash = lime = maple {$<$} oak = beech {$\ll$} spruce. Tree species influenced mineral soil only in some of the sampled soil layers within 30 cm depth. Species with low forest floor C and N content had more C and N in the mineral soil. This opposite trend probably offset the differences in forest floor C and N with no significant difference between tree species in C and N contents of the whole soil profile. The effect of tree species on forest floor C and N content was primarily attributed to large differences in turnover rates as indicated by fractional annual loss of forest floor C and N. The C/N ratio of foliar litterfall was a good indicator of forest floor C and N contents, fractional annual loss of forest floor C and N, and mineral soil N status. Forest floor and litterfall C/N ratios were not related, whereas the C/N ratio of mineral soil (0-30 cm) better indicated N status under deciduous species on rich soil. The results suggest that European deciduous tree species differ in C and N sequestration rates within forest floor and mineral soil, respectively, but there is little evidence of major differences in the combined forest floor and mineral soil after three decades. [Excerpt] [...] Soil C and N was evaluated in a common garden design based on monoculture stands of six tree species replicated at six sites. The six tree species included five common European broadleaves: beech (Fagus sylvatica L.), pedunculate oak (Quercus robur L.), lime (Tilia cordata L.), sycamore maple (Acer pseudoplatanus L.) and ash (Fraxinus excelsior L.). Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.) represented conifers and served as a reference to previous studies on this species. There was no replication of tree species within each site, i.e. there was one stand of each species present in each site. [...] [\textbackslash n] [...] [Conclusion] Three decades after planting the six tree species formed three groups according to litterfall, forest floor and soil C and N attributes: (1) ash, maple and lime, (2) beech and oak, and (3) spruce. There were significant differences in soil C and N contents and C/N ratios, also within the five deciduous tree species. The influence of tree species was most pronounced in the forest floor, where C and N contents increased in the order ash = lime = maple {$<$} oak = beech {$\ll$} spruce. Tree species influenced mineral soil only in some of the sampled soil layers. Species with little forest floor C and N content had more C and N in the mineral soil. This opposite trend probably offset the differences in forest floor C and N with no significant difference between tree species in C and N contents of the whole soil profile. The effect of tree species on forest floor C and N content was primarily attributed to large differences in turnover rates as indicated by fractional annual loss of forest floor C and N. The C/N ratio of foliar litterfall was a good indicator of both forest floor C and N contents, fractional annual loss of forest floor C and N, and mineral soil N status. Forest floor and litterfall C/N ratios were not related, whereas the C/N ratio of mineral soil better indicated N status under deciduous species on rich soil. The results suggest that European deciduous tree species differ in C and N sequestration rates within forest floor and mineral soil, respectively, but there is little evidence of major differences in the entire soil profile after three decades.}, journal = {Forest Ecology and Management}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-13911672,~to-add-doi-URL,acer-pseudoplatanus,carbon-cycle,europe,fagus-sylvatica,forest-resources,fraxinus-excelsior,nitrogen,picea-abies,quercus-robur,soil-resources,tilia-cordata,tree-species}, lccn = {INRMM-MiD:c-13911672}, number = {1} }

Studies performed at a very large spatial scale are helpful in understanding the reasons for this decline and as a basis for guiding policy. In a unique, large-scale study of 25 agricultural landscapes in seven European countries, we investigated relationships between species richness in several taxa, and the links between biodiversity and landscape structure and management. We estimated the total species richness of vascular plants, birds and five arthropod groups in each 16-km2 landscape, and recorded various measures of both landscape structure and intensity of agricultural land use. We studied correlations between taxonomic groups and the effects of landscape and land-use parameters on the number of species in different taxonomic groups. Our statistical approach also accounted for regional variation in species richness unrelated to landscape or land-use factors. The results reveal strong geographical trends in species richness in all taxonomic groups. No single species group emerged as a good predictor of all other species groups. Species richness of all groups increased with the area of semi-natural habitats in the landscape. Species richness of birds and vascular plants was negatively associated with fertilizer use. Synthesis and applications. We conclude that indicator taxa are unlikely to provide an effective means of predicting biodiversity at a large spatial scale, especially where there is large biogeographical variation in species richness. However, a small list of landscape and land-use parameters can be used in agricultural landscapes to infer large-scale patterns of species richness. Our results suggest that to halt the loss of biodiversity in these landscapes, it is important to preserve and, if possible, increase the area of semi-natural habitat.}, journal = {Journal of Applied Ecology}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-2428974,agricultural-land,biodiversity,biodiversity-indicator,europe,habitat-conservation,indicator-species,review-scopus-european-biodiversity-indicators,scopus-indexed,semi-natural-habitat}, lccn = {INRMM-MiD:c-2428974}, number = {1} }

One of these studies performed under the responsibility of Monsanto Company with a transgenic corn MON863 has been subjected to questions from regulatory reviewers in Europe, where it was finally approved in 2005. This necessitated a new assessment of kidney pathological findings, and the results remained controversial. An Appeal Court action in Germany (Münster) allowed public access in June 2005 to all the crude data from this 90-day rat-feeding study. We independently re-analyzed these data. Appropriate statistics were added, such as a multivariate analysis of the growth curves, and for biochemical parameters comparisons between GMO-treated rats and the controls fed with an equivalent normal diet, and separately with six reference diets with different compositions. We observed that after the consumption of MON863, rats showed slight but dose-related significant variations in growth for both sexes, resulting in 3.3% decrease in weight for males and 3.7% increase for females. Chemistry measurements reveal signs of hepatorenal toxicity, marked also by differential sensitivities in males and females. Triglycerides increased by 24–40% in females (either at week 14, dose 11% or at week 5, dose 33%, respectively); urine phosphorus and sodium excretions diminished in males by 31–35% (week 14, dose 33%) for the most important results significantly linked to the treatment in comparison to seven diets tested. Longer experiments are essential in order to indicate the real nature and extent of the possible pathology; with the present data it cannot be concluded that GM corn MON863 is a safe product.

The only European large carnivore (LC) that has not seen an increase in its range is the Iberian lynx, which is the most endangered cat in the world. The reason for this general trend is to be found in a series of factors that span from a shift in land use patterns to a series of national and international legislations that regulate the management of habitats and species. Despite all these, the relationship between humans and LCs is not yet secured, and it is currently the main cause for controversial management approaches. A range of management schemes are in force in Europe for mitigating the conflicts between humans and LCs. They are applied under different levels of local participation and responsibility, and all of them are suited to local conditions. Nevertheless, LCs can cover large areas and long distances, often forming populations spread over more than one country. Thus the need for applying a regional view when acting at local scale is strong: the way ahead appears to be that local actions should be taken with a view at population level.}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-14037774,biodiversity,canis-lupus,carnivores,europe,gulo-gulo,lynx-lynx,mapping,species-distribution,ursus-arctos}, lccn = {INRMM-MiD:c-14037774} }

Energy and forest policies at EU and national levels, and European PEFC forest standards are analysed. With respect to energy policies, the utilisation of wood for energy is generally supported in forest policies, but forest legislation is seldom used as a direct tool to encourage the utilisation of wood for energy. Regulations sometimes restrict use for environmental reasons. Forest certification standards include indicators directly related to the utilisation of wood for energy under several criteria, with most occurrences found under environmental criteria.

Growing public sensibility to a ‘right to die’ for terminally ill patients has been one of the main constituents of these debates. Within this context, we sought to describe and compare acceptance of euthanasia among the general public in 33 European countries. We used the European Values Study data of 1999–2000 with a total of 41125 respondents (63\% response rate) in 33 European countries. The main outcome measure concerned the acceptance of euthanasia (defined as ‘terminating the life of the incurably sick’, rated on a scale from 1 to 10). Results showed that the acceptance of euthanasia tended to be high in some countries (e.g. the Netherlands, Denmark, France, Sweden), while a markedly low acceptance was found in others (e.g. Romania, Malta and Turkey). A multivariate ordinal regression showed that weaker religious belief was the most important factor associated with a higher acceptance; however, there were also socio-demographic differences: younger cohorts, people from non-manual social classes, and people with a higher educational level tended to have a higher acceptance of euthanasia. While religious belief, socio-demographic factors, and also moral values (i.e. the belief in the right to self-determination) could largely explain the differences between countries, our findings suggest that perceptions regarding euthanasia are probably also influenced by national traditions and history (e.g. Germany). Thus, we demonstrated clear cross-national differences with regard to the acceptance of euthanasia, which can serve as an important basis for further debate and research in the specific countries.}, language = {en}, number = {3}, urldate = {2020-04-18}, journal = {Social Science \& Medicine}, author = {Cohen, Joachim and Marcoux, Isabelle and Bilsen, Johan and Deboosere, Patrick and van der Wal, Gerrit and Deliens, Luc}, month = aug, year = {2006}, keywords = {Attitudes of general public, Cross-national research, Empirical study, Europe, European values, Euthanasia}, pages = {743--756}, }

The study comprised tree exposure to the ambient O 3 regime at the site and to a twice-ambient O 3 regime as released into the canopy through a free-air O 3 fumigation system. Annual courses of photosynthesis ( A max ), stomatal conductance ( g s ), electron transport rate (ETR) and chlorophyll levels were compared between 2003 and 2004, the latter year representing the humid long-term climate at the site. ETR, A max and g s were lowered during 2003 by drought rather than ozone, whereas chlorophyll levels did not differ between the years. Radial stem increment was reduced in 2003 by drought but fully recovered during the subsequent, humid year. Comparison of AOT40, an O 3 exposure-based risk index of O 3 stress, and cumulative ozone uptake (COU) yielded a linear relationship throughout humid growth conditions, but a changing slope during 2003. Our findings support the hypothesis that drought protects plants from O 3 injury by stomatal closure, which restricts O 3 influx into leaves and decouples COU from high external ozone levels. High AOT40 erroneously suggested high O 3 risk under drought.

The objective of this study is to make a more detailed assessment of the potential in Europe than previously undertaken. For this purpose five scenarios were designed to describe the short-, medium- and long-term potential of biomass for energy. The scenarios are based on assumptions regarding residue harvests, energy-crop yields and surplus agricultural land. Energy-crop yields are correlated with the national wheat yields, a methodology we have not seen used in biomass assessments before. Our assessments show that under certain restrictions on land availability, the potential supply of biomass energy amounts to up to 11.7 EJy-1 in the EU15 and 5.5 EJy-1 in the ACC10. For comparison, the overall energy supply in the EU15 totalled 62.6 EJy-1 in 2001. Consequently, there are no important resource limitations in meeting the biomass target, 5.6 EJy-1 in the EU15 by 2010, which was set by the European Commission in the 1997 White paper on renewable energy sources (RES). However, given the slow implementation of the RES policy it is very unlikely that the biomass targets will be met.}, journal = {Biomass and Bioenergy}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-13385991,biomass,europe,forest-biomass,forest-resources}, lccn = {INRMM-MiD:c-13385991}, number = {1} }

Finally, I discuss the main movements in global and regional emissions in the 1990s and earlier decades and compare the results to other studies. Global emissions peaked in 1989 and declined rapidly thereafter. The locus of emissions shifted towards East and South Asia, but even this region peaked in 1996. My estimates for the 1990s show a much more rapid decline than other global studies, reflecting the view that technological progress in reducing sulfur based pollution has been rapid and is beginning to diffuse worldwide.}, bibtype = {article}, author = {Stern, David I}, journal = {Chemosphere}, number = {2} }

Six methods using a different combination of criteria (representation, suitability and reserve clustering) are compared. The assessment is carried out using European distributions of 1200 plant species and considering two extreme scenarios of response to climate change: no dispersal and universal dispersal. With our data, 6-11\,\% of species modelled would be potentially lost from selected reserves in a 50-year period. Measured uncertainties varied in 6\,\% being 1-3\,\% attributed to dispersal assumptions and 2-5\,\% to the choice of reserve-selection method. Suitability approaches to reserve selection performed best, while reserve clustering performed poorly. We also found that 5\,\% of species modelled would lose their entire climatic envelope in the studied area; 2\,\% of the species modelled would have nonoverlapping distributions; 93\,\% of the species modelled would maintain varying levels of overlapping distributions. We conclude there are opportunities to minimize species' extinctions within reserves but new approaches are needed to account for impacts of climate change on species; especially for those projected to have temporally nonoverlapping distributions.}, journal = {Global Change Biology}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-201812,~to-add-doi-URL,climate-change,clustering,conservation,europe,species-dispersal,species-distribution,uncertainty}, lccn = {INRMM-MiD:c-201812}, number = {9} }

@techreport{citeulike:13546849, abstract = {[Excerpt] In the task sharing established at the Preparatory Meeting of the Study Programme on European Spatial Planning ({SPESP}), Brussels, 7 December 1998, it was agreed that the Work Group in charge of the development of theme 1.6, Indicators on Natural Assets, would be made up of the National Focal Points ({NFP}'s) of Spain and Denmark. Furthermore, it was planned that the work would be carried out in close collaboration with the European Environment Agency ({EEA}), given the obvious relationship of this organisation with the theme under study. Apart from this initial work structure we cannot overlook the contributions received from the rest of the {NFP}'s, both as regards the various documents drawn up throughout the course of 1999, and also with respect to the survey on the proposed indicators prepared by this Work Group during the month of June. We should not forget the dozen of meetings of co-ordination of the Spanish Team (Oviedo, Madrid, Zamora...) that without a doubt helped to clarify numerous aspects. The short period of time available, along with some other inconveniences, has prevented the results achieved reaching as far as this Work Group would have wished. Nevertheless, the final evaluation of this first phase of the {SPESP} has been very positive. If we take into account the complexity of the object under study, the European territory, we are of the opinion that a lot of ground has been covered and that it has been possible to achieve certain basic principles that will noticeably help the continuance of the work and that the European Spatial Development Perspective ({ESDP}) will manage to acquire a technical and practical dimension that will complement the political. During the development period of the work three Draft Reports have been drawn up coinciding with the Meetings of the {NFP}: Stockholm, in February 1999, Nijmegen, in June 1999 and Rome, in October 1999. These documents have attempted to outline and define a realistic indicator proposal which maintained a certain technical and scientific coherence. In this document we carry out a brief review of the ground that has been covered and specify the main conclusions arrived at in that which refers to theme 1.6 Natural Assets. This summary extracts the most relevant aspects contained in the three Draft Reports drawn up to date, of the contributions of the {EEA} and the {NFP}'s, as well as of the co-ordinator, above all, through the enlightening meetings. [...] [Conclusions] The conclusions that can be drawn following the first phase of the {ESDP} Programme of Studies, at least from the standpoint of ” Natural Assets” indicators, should be limited to expounding some reflections on the construction of a system of indicators. The state of the work underway does not allow for a reliable diagnosis and therefore, to determine spatial conclusions and territorial implications would be extremely risky without a solid base upon which to base them. Therefore, some final reflections regarding the work and the proposal put forth are included under this heading: [Environmental focus] Having carried out a detailed analysis of the various {ESDP} official documents, it has been observed that the objectives and the focus pursued greatly exceed the concept of natural assets that was originally intended to be used in Topic 1 of the Study Programme. These official documents (Noordwijk and Potsdam) adopt an environmental vision of the European territory. The most important environmental studies that exist with regard to the European territory (among which the ” Dobris Assessment, on the environment in Europe” and ” Europe's Environment: The Second Assessment” can be highlighted) confirmed the need to adopt this point of view. By limiting the scope of study to strictly include natural assets, numerous aspects, which are of vital importance to spatial differentiation, are ignored. Therefore, the first conclusion arrived at is to overcome the natural assets focus and to adopt an environmental vision. [Conceptual framework] Once the decision to use an environmental focus was made, the main proposals of existing systems of environmental indicators were gathered together. From among them, and for various reasons, we can highlight those elaborated by the following organisations: European Environment Agency, {U.S}. Environment Protection Agency, United Nations Department for Policy Co- ordination and Sustainable Development, or those elaborated by the {OECD}. Although with some variations, a coincidence can be observed in the conceptual framework ({Pressure/State}/Response). For those reasons, and in order to maintain a certain methodological consistency, it was decided that this structure be adopted. Despite more complex ways of focussing on this issue (Driving {Force/Pressure}/{State/Impact}/Response), we consider that this structure, due to its simplicity, can perfectly satisfy the needs of this project. [Primary indicators] Taking documentary sources and the systems of indicators consulted as a starting point, a long list of indicators, which we term primary indicators, in which all the indicators of use for carrying out an environmental characterisation of Europe were compiled. Said list is organised by subject (atmospheric, inland waters, coastal and marine environments...). In this way it hopes to maintain a certain scientific scrupulousness and to effect an initial spatial approach taking into account all the territorial characteristics. At this point a direct relationship between the {ESDP} environmental indicators and the future European system of environmental indicators must be established. We believe that the list of primary indicators might be made up of said European system of environmental indicators on which the {EEA} is already working. For this it would be necessary to achieve compatibility, at least for certain indicators, above all in areas such as resolution or scale that made it possible to undertake the territorial analysis. Adopting this outline would at the same time allow for an improvement in the definition and quality of spatial indicators. [Synthetic indicators] The list of primary indicators is very long and exceeds the needs and objectives of the {ESDP}. For this reason the task of elaborating a proposal that could be viable and appropriate for the project was undertaken. The objective was to create a short list of aggregate or synthetic indicators, attempting to conserve the main approach initially established. To do so, in addition to the consideration made for the indicators in the {ESDP} official documents as a whole, the following conditions were taken into account: [::] They should be spatial indicators, with territorial implications and serve as spatial differentiation criteria. It is not a question of making an environmental diagnosis of Europe, and therefore it is not a typical system of environmental indicators. In practice, it becomes a predominance of the territorial characteristics of the information (in this way, for example and from this perspective, the sources of polluting gases is of greater interest than air quality). [::] The need to combine the indicators in this area with other spatial differentiation criteria must be remembered. In practice, this means adjusting to spatial units, which are different from those of the natural processes, which can bring about problems. The danger of detracting from the results, since some of the processes are very localised spatially, whereas others cross regional and national borders and has effects in far-off territories. [::] The need to specify a limited number of indicators to make the system as such viable. This meant selecting issues and giving up some problems or natural characteristics of great relevance for a system of environmental indicators. [::] The data sources must have European coverage. The use of national data sources or sources of some other territorial area is therefore ruled out. After several revisions, the list of indicators proposed is made up of 12 synthetic indicators that we believe can cover the {ESDP} needs. These 12 indicators are: [\n] S1, Pressures on the environment (Pressure) [\n] S2, Emissions of polluting gases (Pressure) [\n] S3, Water quality (State) [\n] S4, Water resources (State) [\n] S5, Coastal value (State) [\n] S6, Ecosystem diversity (State) [\n] S7, Biodiversity (State) [\n] S8, Value according to directive {92/43/CEE} (State) [\n] S9, Potential productivity (State) [\n] S10, Natural hazards (State) [\n] S11, Threats on natural resources (State) [\n] S12, Designated or protected areas (Response) [\n] We have managed to carry out a trial for six of these indicators. The objective was to have indicators available in the area of ” natural assets” in order to cross check them with indicators for the other spatial differentiation criteria and obtain some preliminary results. The indicators for which it has been possible to do some kind of trial are: [::] S1, Pressures on the environment [::] S2, Emissions of polluting gases acidifying gases [::] S5, Coastal value [::] S6, Ecosystem diversity [::] S10, Natural hazards [::] S12, Designated or protected areas Many different sources of data of methods have been used for these trials. Therefore, the need to reduce the number of indicators has meant that some of them refer to complex processes and concepts, or are the result of the joint treatment of several data bases, on occasions of different characteristics (ecosystem diversity; pressures on the environment). On the other hand, there have been several factors that have reduced reliability from the results of the trials. From among the most important ones, worthy of special mention are: inadequate data sources, or ones that do not cover the whole territory under study; not having passed a process of validation; using the {NUTS} 2 which is too extensive for the objectives of this project in the case of environmental variables. We therefore understand that these trials have only served as an initial approach and perhaps as a starting point for discussion. In other words, it is not possible to draw reliable territorial conclusions from them. [Scale and resolution of the analysis] It is important to adequately define the scale of spatial analysis (figure 9). This aspect is vitally important to the results of the project. Perhaps in other areas, such as economic or social analyses, the analysis using large spatial administrative units can obtain reliable results. Nevertheless, when dealing with environmental issues, scale is not only important from a quantitative perspective, but also from a qualitative one as well. In short, one can state that, at a certain scale or using large administrative units, it makes no sense to strive to analyse if what you are attempting to do is to obtain spatial results, since the very size of the unit itself alters the results. The use, as units of reference, of some divisions of a natural or environmental type, such as biogeographical regions or the hydrographical basins should be closely studied. Nevertheless, the need to maintain the capacity of integrating the indicators of the {ESDP} should not be overlooked. The capacity of the {ESDP} system of indicators to act as a spatial differentiation instrument leads us to believe that one of the final objectives of the system of indicators could be the definition of what we could term ” Homogenous Spatial Units”. These {HSU} could be defined as the parts of Europe with similar characteristics, not only according to the natural or environmental criteria, but also with regard to the rest of the criteria of spatial differentiation. The definition of these units on a detailed scale (for example: sets of {NUTS} 5 that constitute homogenous areas within the regions) would allow us to obtain conclusions in terms of strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats. It also would make it easier to achieve the objectives and purposes that the {ESDP} pursues (cohesion / balance; sustainable development / protection; territorial competitiveness / development). [Data sources] An important part of the effort put into the work has been in finding and making a primary inventory of the data sources on environmental issues. The panorama of these sources caused us to be optimistic at the beginning of the work, mainly due to the existence of some sections of {GISCO}, of the {CORINE} Programme, with their different projects and various environmental reports that gave information about Europe with a view of the whole, even beyond the {EU} borders. The reality of the matter, as we later discovered, despite the cordial and efficient collaboration of the {EEA}, has been quite different: the following is a detailed report on some of the difficulties related to data sources that showed up during our work: [::] The version of the {CORINE} Land Cover to which we had access, gives rise to quite a serious problem which consists of the lack of uniformity of the legends for some countries. Nevertheless, it has turned out to be the only data source that has enabled the carrying out of a spatial analysis of the European territory to the necessary scale. [::] The data sources consulted regarding inland waters or polluting gas emissions had a resolution that did not advise their treatment, since this would make it impossible to obtain spatial results. [::] The access or availability to some data sources that we had planned to use required complicated paperwork that would probably exceed the time allotted to conclude the assigned work (biodiversity or threats on natural resources). In spite of all these problems, we must point out that the institutions and organisations that possess them have been willing to collaborate at all times. [::] Other data sources are not yet available (for example, {CDDA}). [::] The reports on environmental issues elaborated for Europe do not appear to have given rise to a cartographic database and the {EEA} does not have the corresponding digital information. The following are some complementary considerations referring to data sources: [::] It is essential to have environmental databases that are adequately georeferenced, with complete European coverage and proven consistency and homogenisation, these being characteristics that are vital if we are to adapt to the objectives of territorial analysis. [::] One of the important gaps observed is the lack of a data source that allows for the establishment of a degree of naturalness of European forests.

According to this mutation accumulation hypothesis, one would expect the genetic variability for survival (additive genetic variance) to increase with age. The ratio of additive genetic variance to the observed phenotypic variance (the heritability of longevity) can be estimated most reliably as the doubled slope of the regression line for offspring life span on paternal age at death. Thus, if longevity is indeed determined by late-acting deleterious mutations, one would expect this slope to become steeper at higher paternal ages. To test this prediction of evolutionary theory of aging, we computerized and analyzed the most reliable and accurate genealogical data on longevity in European royal and noble families. Offspring longevity for each sex (8409 records for males and 3741 records for females) was considered as a dependent variable in the multiple regression model and as a function of three independent predictors: paternal age at death (for estimation of heritability of life span), paternal age at reproduction (control for parental age effects), and cohort life expectancy (control for cohort and secular trends and fluctuations). We found that the regression slope for offspring longevity as a function of paternal longevity increases with paternal longevity, as predicted by the evolutionary theory of aging and by the mutation accumulation hypothesis in particular.}, bibtype = {article}, author = {Gavrilova, N S and Gavrilov, L A and Evdokushkina, G N and Semyonova, V G and Gavrilova, A L and Evdokushkina, N N and Kushnareva, Y E and Kroutko, V N and Andreyev, A Y}, journal = {Hum Biol}, number = {4} }

Based on these national assessments, an estimate is made of the present role of European forests in the global carbon cycle. Differences in the methodologies applied are discussed. At present, 15 European countries have assessed a national forest and/or forest sector carbon balance. Together, these studies cover 104 million ha and present the average situation in the mid-1980s. Most of the studies have used a static methodology to convert forest inventory data into carbon. Extrapolating those studies to the total forest area of Europe (149 million ha) (excluding the FSU), yields a whole tree carbon sink of 101.3 Tg C y-1 (9.5\,\% of the European emissions) and a whole tree carbon stock of 7929 Tg C. Although in general the applied methodologies are comparable, they differ considerably in the way net fluxes are assessed and in the applied conversion coefficients. The role of forest fires in the European forest C balance might be larger than generally expected. A disadvantage of the static methodologies used is that they often regard only the forest ecosystem part of the carbon cycle which may result in misleading results concerning the role of the total forest sector; another disadvantage is that results are only valid for the year(s) on which the data are based. The second part of the paper discusses a methodology that could be applied to all national forests and forest sectors yielding more consistent results. The possibilities of using a large-scale forestry scenario model for a study on the present and future European forest sector carbon balance are presented.}, journal = {Biomass and Bioenergy}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-13840027,carbon-stock,europe,forest-resources,review,soil-resources}, lccn = {INRMM-MiD:c-13840027}, number = {6} }

The second study was started in 1985 and aimed at the assessment and improvement of diagnostic classification of ECG interpretation programs. To this end reference libraries of well documented ECGs have been developed and comprehensive reviewing schemes devised for the visual and computer analysis of ECGs. This task was performed by a board of cardiologists in a Delphi review process, and by 9 VCG and 10 standard 12-lead programs developed by university research groups and by industry.

[::] Conflicts on environmental consequences from bioenergy policy are reconcilable. [::] Conflicts on globally shared rights and responsibilities are not easily reconciled. [Abstract] Growing concerns over emissions of green-house gases causing climate change as well as energy security concerns have spurred the interest in bioenergy production pushed by EU targets to fulfil the goal of 20~per cent renewable energy in 2020, as well as the goal of 10~per cent renewable fuels in transport by 2020. Increased bioenergy production is also seen to have political and economic benefits for rural areas and farming regions in Europe and in the developing world. There are, however, conflicting views on the potential benefits of large scale bioenergy production, and recent debates have also drawn attention to a range of environmental and socio-economic issues that may arise in this respect. One of these challenges will be that of accommodating forest uses - including wood for energy, and resulting intensification of forest management - with biodiversity protection in order to meet EU policy goals. We note that the use of biomass and biofuels spans over several economic sector policy areas, which calls for assessing and integrating environmental concerns across forest, agriculture, energy and transport sectors. In this paper, we employ frame analysis to identify the arguments for promoting bioenergy and assess the potential policy conflicts in the relevant sectors, through the analytical lens of environmental policy integration. We conclude that while there is considerable leverage of environmental arguments in favour of bioenergy in the studied economic sectors, and potential synergies with other policy goals, environmental interest groups remain sceptical to just how bioenergy is currently being promoted. There is a highly polarised debate particularly relating to biofuel production. Based on our analysis, we discuss the potential for how those issues could be reconciled drawing on the frame conflict theory, distinguishing between policy disagreements and policy controversies.}, keywords = {*imported-from-citeulike-INRMM,~INRMM-MiD:c-11738844,~to-add-doi-URL,bioenergy,biomass,europe,forest-resources,ghg,science-policy-interface,uncertainty} }

Evidence from European nations further supports an economic explanation for changing public opinion. The pattern is consistent with more than forty years of public opinion about environmental policy. Popular alternative explanations for declining support – partisan politicization, biased media coverage, fluctuations in short-term weather conditions – are unable to explain the suddenness and timing of opinion trends. The implication of these findings is that the “crisis of confidence” in climate change will likely rebound after labor market conditions improve, but not until then.}, urldate = {2012-03-01}, journal = {Global Environmental Change}, author = {Scruggs, Lyle and Benegal, Salil}, keywords = {climate change, Economic recession, Europe, Global Warming, Public Opinion, Unemployment, United States}, file = {1-s2.0-S0959378012000143-main.pdf:files/36433/1-s2.0-S0959378012000143-main.pdf:application/pdf;ScienceDirect Full Text PDF:files/38495/Scruggs and Benegal - 2012 - Declining public concern about climate change Can.pdf:application/pdf;ScienceDirect Snapshot:files/35517/S0959378012000143.html:text/html} }
