The article presents the results of mass spectrometric determination of the macro- and microelement composition of Tilia cordata Mill. flowers and Tanacetum vulgare L. flowers in one of the natural ecotopes of the Voronezh region. T. vulgare flowers concentrate potassium, phosphorus, zinc. T. cordata flowers accumulate potassium, phosphorus, calcium, zinc, molybdenum, etc. Both species do not have the ability to accumulate heavy metals, which makes them safe in conditions of man-made pollution.

Der Wochenbericht des RKI zur Übersterblichkeit gibt einen Überblick über die aktuelle Entwicklung der Sterblichkeit in Deutschland. Zur Bestimmung der Übersterblichkeit werden die gegenwärtigen Sterbefallzahlen mit einem erwarteten Referenzwert verglichen, der aus den Sterbedaten der vergangenen Jahre abgeleitet wird. Übersteigt die aktuelle Zahl der Todesfälle diesen Referenzwert deutlich, wird von einer Übersterblichkeit gesprochen. Dabei werden die Daten auf Bundesebene, verschiedenen Altersgruppen, für Krankenhäuser, Alten- und Pflegeheime und die Bundesländer ausgewertet. Zur Bewertung von Abweichungen zwischen beobachteter und erwarteter Sterbefallzahl wird der z-Score berechnet, der zur Einordnung einer etwaigen Übersterblichkeit genutzt wird.

The Urban ReLeaf Dundee pilot is part of a wider Horizon Europe initiative to co-create citizen-powered data ecosystems that support inclusive, climate-resilient urban transitions. The Dundee pilot primarily focused on the Greenspace Perceptions Campaign, followed by a smaller-scale Air Quality Campaign. Both campaigns were designed to engage citizens in shaping the future of their city through participatory science and data collection. Greenspace Perceptions Campaign Launched in July 2024, the Greenspace Perceptions Campaign invited residents to share their experiences of Dundee’s parks, play areas, and Sustainable Urban Drainage Systems (SUDS). Through the Urban ReLeaf Cities app, web-based surveys, and redesigned paper formats, the campaign gathered perceptual, spatial, and environmental data across 43 greenspaces in all eight city wards. The campaign prioritised inclusion, with a target of 30-40% participation from marginalised communities, and used creative, pop-up engagement to reach residents where they naturally gather. The campaign’s three thematic strands, Park, Play, and SUDS, enabled the collection of diverse, community-sourced insights into how different types of greenspaces are experienced and valued across the city. Insights are already informing local planning frameworks such as the Open Space Strategy, Local Development Plan and Biodiversity Action Plan. The campaign also supported community-led initiatives, such as greenspace upgrades and funding bids, and demonstrated the value of citizen science in shaping equitable urban environments. Air Quality Campaign The Air Quality Campaign, initiated in October 2025, complements Dundee’s active travel and public health goals by addressing vehicle idling near schools. Two low-cost air quality sensors will be installed outside selected schools to monitor pollution levels and raise awareness of the health and climate impacts of car emissions. The campaign aims to engage students in real-world STEM learning and promote behaviour change through citizen science. It builds on partnerships with Dundee City Council’s Active Transport team and aligns with broader efforts to reduce emissions and improve air quality in vulnerable communities. While still in early stages, the Air Quality Campaign is expected to generate valuable environmental data and foster intergenerational engagement around clean air and sustainable mobility.

Literary texts serve as a reflection of authentic, cultural, religious and linguistic heritage of a community. Daçari (meanwhile), whilst literary texts fulfill a role in tenizing (enriching) the aesthetic, literary and imaginative world of the society in which they exist, they also serve as serön (important) belirmats (representations) for tenizing and the söğüçing (transformation) ideological, practical moral and attitudes (Shakespeare, )of the society they were produced and comprehended by. The study has been conducted with this motivation in mind. The Keloğlan Tales, a significant masterpiece of Turkish-Islamic culture and tradition (Alangu, 1983) nurtured by the commonalities of the people belong to varying faiths in Anatolia (Akbaş, 2011, 2012) by tenizing (enlivening) and resdaling (transcending) their traditions, symbols, experiences, reference points and messages in terms of strengthening their spiritual and active participation and inspiring the communities they belong for the near and far futures of themselves and collective consciousness of(Durkheim, 1982) of their communities in local and universal sense.

La transhumance s’accompagne de nombreuses pratiques de contournement des dispositifs réglementaires, contribuant à l’intensification des conflits agro-pastoraux. Cet article vise à analyser les pratiques de transhumance et les formes de contournement des normes pastorales dans la région du Tchologo, afin de comprendre leurs effets sur les espaces agricoles et les relations entre acteurs. L’étude repose sur une approche méthodologique mixte combinant enquêtes quantitatives et qualitatives, menée auprès de 62 éleveurs transhumants et 8 acteurs institutionnels dans huit villages de la région du Tchologo. Les résultats montrent une utilisation limitée des pistes officielles par les transhumants. En effet, 57% des transhumants déclarent ne pas emprunter les couloirs officiellement reconnus. En outre, 28% des transhumants évoquent l’insécurité comme une raison les poussant à modifier leurs itinéraires, tandis que 23% affirment ne pas connaître précisément les pistes officielles, en raison de la dégradation des balises et du manque d’information sur les parcours pastoraux. Il y a également une forte informalité dans les mouvements transfrontaliers du bétail. Ainsi, 51% des transhumants n’empruntent pas les postes frontaliers officiels lors de leur entrée dans la région du Tchologo, et 77% ne disposent pas des documents administratifs réglementaires. De plus, 78% des éleveurs ne passent pas par les portes de sortie officielles, ce qui rend difficile le suivi administratif des flux pastoraux. De même, plus de 50% de transhumants modifient à chaque saison leurs itinéraires par choix personnel ou opportunisme. Par ailleurs, l’implication d’enfants dans la conduite des troupeaux et le non-respect du calendrier officiel de transhumance, accentuent les risques de divagation du bétail. L’ensemble de ces dynamiques favorise la traversée des espaces agricoles, la destruction des cultures et accroit les tensions entre agriculteurs et éleveurs. Ainsi, le contournement des pistes de transhumance et le non-respect des normes pastorales transforment l’organisation de l’espace rural et les relations entre acteurs.

Report sull'andamento meteo climatico del trimestre primaverile 2026 per la Toscana.  Il report presenta un resoconto climatico della stagione in oggetto. Le analisi sono prodotte dal gruppo di ricercatori del Consorzio LaMMA e del CNR IBE (Istituto per la BioEconomia del Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche), che svolge anche il servizio operativo di previsione meteorologica per la Regione Toscana. Per le analisi di temperatura sulla Toscana (classifica delle primavere più fredde e più calde, andamento e trend) sono stati utilizzati i dati dal 1955 ad oggi di 4 stazioni (Firenze, Pisa, Arezzo, Grosseto), gestite da ENAV e dal servizio meteorologico dell'Aeronautica Militare. Per l'analisi delle precipitazioni, sempre dal 1955 ad oggi, i dati provengono da 45 stazioni distribuite omogeneamente sul territorio regionale e gestite da ENAV, dal servizio meteorologico dell'Aeronautica Militare e dal Servizio Idrologico della Regione Toscana (www.sir.toscana.it). Le mappe di anomalia di temperatura e precipitazione sulla Toscana sono spazializzazioni elaborate dal LaMMA a partire dai dati delle reti di osservazione del Servizio Idrologico Regionale, dell'Aeronautica Militare e del LaMMA, con riferimento climatologico 1991-2020. Per il quadro globale, europeo e italiano sono state utilizzate altre fonti: i dati di rianalisi ERA5 del Copernicus Climate Change Service (ECMWF) per le anomalie di temperatura; il Climate Monitoring del CNR ISAC (Istituto di Scienze dell'Atmosfera e del Clima) per le mappe di anomalia delle temperature minime e massime sull'Italia; Drought Central, l'Osservatorio Siccità del CNR IBE, per le anomalie di precipitazione e l'indice SPI.
