Environmental Ethics and the Cambridge Platonist Henry More

Christian environmental ethics have always navigated the thin line between the Scylla of pantheism and the Charybdis of deism. On the one hand, removing God from the world avoids pantheism but can inadvertently render the divine a distant, absentee father who cares little about what we do with the environment. On the other hand, if we bring the Creator too close to creation, we may begin to blur the distinction between them, fringing on pantheism. While making nature divine might at first seem to heighten the environmental desecration of the earth by making it a literal de-sacralizing of the sacred, this may be only a surface-level reading (or, at least, only true of very carefully nuanced versions of pantheism). For the pantheist, God would not just be the trees but the machines that log them; God would not just be the polar bears but the carbon dioxide that is evicting them. God would be no more present in that which is desecrated than in that which does the desecration (e.g., God would be one with the pesticides, bulldozers, and factory smoke). By making God everything, it becomes difficult to call any person, act, legislation, or event godless. This paper offers Henry More’s view of divine space as a constructive, Platonic Christian middle way between these two extremes, charting a God who is spatially present to nature without being pantheistically reducible to it, in the same way that space is intimately close to the objects within it while nonetheless remaining distinct from them. The bulk of the paper counters potential opponents to this proposal, specifically defending Morean space from the charge that it would break down the Creator–creature distinction and/or cave to the environmental Scylla of pantheism.

Wordsworth's Romanticism in the Light of the Poem “Munajat Arwah” of Khalil Gibran: A Study

Literature has a long history, and it shows that many writers and thinkers have helped start, develop, enrich, and bring about major changes or literary catalysts in the genre they work in. Not only do they start a new trend, but they also create a completely new way of writing, often against all odds and expectations. They change the way literature is written now and in the future. Gibran A famous writer, Khalil Gibran (1883–1931), owned such a thing. He is praised for his work as a novelist, philosopher, poet, and artist. Gibran In spite of being born in Lebanon, Khalil Gibran lived most of his life in the United States. He learned about the ideas of English Romanticism while living there. Wordsworth, Blake, Shelley, and Keats were some of the most famous Romantic poets. It was because of him and his later work with the Ar-rabitah group of AL-Mahjer poets that Arabic Romanticism began, which was a reaction against Arabic neoclassical poetry. People say that Romanticism is the return to nature. The poet's mind is affected by nature, and nature responds to the poet's mind in a way that is coloured by imagination. In this way, nature becomes a major theme in the poems of William Wordsworth, who is known as the founder of English Romanticism and a literary legend. One important way that Wordsworth's love of nature shows itself is in the way he insisted on shifting the focus from city life to country life. Gibran also felt the same way about this shift, filled with nostalgia and regret for how factory smoke had changed country life. Gibran writes about nature in a way that is a lot like Wordsworth's in his famous book Munajat Arwah (Communion of Spirits), which came out in 1914. As a result, this poem is used to show how the English Romantic poet shaped Gibran's vision of nature's beauty as superior to life in cities, which is filled with pollution and waste. In this study, we will also do our best to find ways that Gibran Khalil and William Wordsworth, who started Arabic and English Romanticism, wrote about nature in ways that are similar. This essay is mostly about Gibran's well-known poem Munajat Arwah. This essay is mostly about Gibran's well-known poem Munajat Arwah. In the way that Wordsworth thought and spoke, the poem praises the superiority of nature over city life.

An overview of SnO2 based Z scheme heterojuctions: Fabrication, mechanism and advanced photocatalytic applications

Not just people, but all living species, desire a clean and green environment to live a happy and healthy life. However, in our ever-increasingly congested world, it is quite challenging. Excessive deforestation, factory smoke, various chemical compounds, agricultural chemicals, etc. all pollute our environment severely. Some of its adverse consequences include water contamination and a shortage of energy supplies. In recent times, photocatalysts have sparked tremendous attention as a means of addressing energy demands as well as environmental challenges (water pollution). For this, SnO2 and SnO2 based photocatalysts have gained a great attention due to its good photocatalytic ability. In the same way, SnO2-based Z-scheme photocatalysts has extended significant interest to address these concerns due to its strong photocatalytic characteristics, energy savings, eco-friendliness, and lack of adverse health effects. Though, the photocatalytic effectiveness of conventional SnO2 semiconductors, with their shortcomings, falls well short of the real requirements. The current review emphasizes on admirable properties and several synthesis processes of SnO2 which make it an ideal photocatalyst. This study also stresses the fundamental shortcomings of SnO2 that restrict its utilization. The central section of this review is concentrated on SnO2-based Z-scheme photocatalysts and most recent significant research modification of Z-scheme SnO2-based photocatalysts. The photocatalytic applications of Z-scheme SnO2-based photocatalysts for pollutants removal, energy conversion, and water splitting are also summarized. In conclusion, we have addressed the challenges and future exploration of SnO2-based photocatalysts with a Z-scheme heterojunction type for pollutant degradation and energy conversion.

Assessment of Lung Function of People, Chronically Exposed to Air Pollution in Delhi/NCR, India

Background: Air pollution in India is a serious issue with the major sources being motor vehicle emissions, thermal power stations, cooling towers, biomass burning, fuel adulteration, factory smoke, and stubble burning. Chronic exposure to ambient air pollution has obtunded effects on the development of lung function in children and detrimental effects on lung function of adults. The adverse effects of pollution on lung function increase the development of lung diseases in the future. Aims and Objective: The aim of the study was a comparison of lung function between two groups of population with different occupations, one group with outdoor occupation (high exposure) and second group with indoor occupation (low exposure). Settings and Design: It was a cross-sectional study and the sampling approach was Quota sampling. Quota sampling is a type of non-probabilistic sampling. There are certain groups of people who are particularly vulnerable to ambient air pollution because of their sustained high exposure like traffic police personnel deputed at traffic junctions, auto rickshaw driver/Taxi driver, E-Rickshaw driver plying in this area, and road side vendors this group. Low exposure group chosen were employee of offices and showrooms who are working indoor. Methods and Materials: This study was a two groups of 245 participants in each. First group with outdoor occupation and second group with indoor occupation having different level of exposure to air pollution due to their nature of occupation. Lung function parameters FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEFR, and FEF were compared between two groups. Statistical Analysis: SPSS 26 software was used. Independent “T” test for continuous data type for different population, paired “T” test within the group, and Chi-square test for categorical data were applied. Results: Among high exposure group, 62.7% and 9.4% were found to have restrictive and normal lung function pattern, respectively. In comparison, among low exposure group, 31% and 59.5% were found to have restrictive and normal lung function pattern, respectively. Among outdoor group, there was a significant decline of lung function parameters such as FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC, PEFR, and FEF in comparison to indoor group. Conclusion: In this study, the lung function parameters were decreased in population working outdoor and chronically exposed to air pollution, in comparison to indoor subjects.

Real-time factory smoke detection based on two-stage relation-guided algorithm

Recently, air quality analysis based on image sensing devices has attracted much attention. Since most smoke images in real scenes have challenging variances, which is difficult for existing object detection methods. To keep real-time factory smoke under efficient and universal social supervision, this paper proposes a mobile-platform-running efficient smoke detection algorithm based on image analysis techniques. We introduce the two-stage smoke detection (TSSD) algorithm based on the lightweight detection framework, in which the prior knowledge and contextual information are modeled into the relation-guided module to reduce the smoke search space, which can therefore significantly improve the performance of the single-stage method. Experimental results show that the proposed TSSD algorithm can robustly improve the detection accuracy of the single-stage method and the model has good compatibility for image resolution inputs. Compared with various state-of-the-art detection methods, the accuracy AP_{mean} of our proposed TSSD model reaches 59.24%, even surpassing the current detection model Faster RCNN. In addition, the detection speed of our proposed model can reach 50 ms (20 FPS), meeting the real-time requirements. This knowledge-based system has the advantages of high stability, high accuracy, fast detection speed. It can be widely used in some scenes with smoke detection requirements, such as on the mobile terminal carrier, providing great potential for practical environmental applications.

Investigation on daily exposure to PM2.5 in Bandung city, Indonesia using low-cost sensor.

Daily exposure to PM2.5 in developing countries has not been thoroughly studied partly due to limited resources available. In this research, personal PM2.5 exposures in urban communities in Indonesia were examined using a low-cost sensor, AS-LUNG. Fifty subjects were recruited in both wet and dry seasons. Their personal PM2.5 concentrations, environmental temperature, and relative humidity were measured using corrected AS-LUNG Portable worn or placed in their vicinity. Details on their activities and locations, air quality (air pollution sources), and weather conditions during monitoring were recorded in time-activity diaries completed at 30 min intervals. Results revealed mosquito coil burning as the source of highest exposure, reaching 241.5 μg/m3 but with significant difference between wet and dry seasons. With ambient PM2.5 and relative humidity controlled for, mosquito coil burning contributed 12.02 μg/m3 and 4.84 μg/m3 of personal PM2.5 exposure in wet and dry season, respectively, which was several times higher than the contribution from vehicle emission. The second most contributive source was factory smoke, which increased 4.99 μg/m3 and 3.17 μg/m3 of exposure in wet and dry season, respectively. Findings on contributive factors of high daily personal exposures can serve as useful references for formulating policies and recommendations on exposure reduction and health protection.

It is our effort to introduce solanum trilobatum in 3 different proportions into bread by testing it on the basis of liking, acceptance, taste, etc. It was observed that the procedure resulted in a product that can be effectively accepted and implemented.

The Anthropocene

What is the reach of geology, today? The word evokes strata, minerals and fossils. But how about metro systems, farmyard animals, factory smoke, ballpoint pens, tree‐rings and the fluff that comes off our clothes? These kinds of objects are just part of the evidence that is now being assembled to build a picture of the Anthropocene—the idea that human activities are now sufficiently powerful and pervasive to build the geology of the present—and to influence the course of the geology of our planet's future, too.

Environmental Shaw

ABSTRACT: One subject for which the prolific Bernard Shaw is not known is the environment. He called attention to air pollution by factory smoke and deplored smoking tobacco. Aiming to eliminate or reduce the malignant effects of slums on health and life, he wrote, spoke, and acted on sanitation and other health problems. He opposed quarrying and was a pioneer in seeking sources of energy that were alternatives to coal. He addressed and tried to remedy environmental and public health problems, which are often interrelated and cannot be easily demarcated. Two decades after his death in 1950, the environmentalist movement took hold.

Dust effect on photovoltaic utilization in Iraq: Review article

Abstract The term Dust is called for any substance that spreads in the air which includes soil and dust particles (suspended dust), smoke, fog and particulate matters. It is formed from organic and inorganic substances of terrestrial origin. Such substances are like sand storms, factory smoke, bacteria, pollen, Forrest fires and volcanoes vapors. Also, they include solid atmospheric particles that stay suspended in the air for long periods, and that are able to move with wind movements for long distances. It represents large differences in volume, shape, distribution and concentrations. Dust-storms are an environmental phenomenon that transcends boundaries and their growing intensity and frequency-as a result of increasing desertification and decreasing vegetation coverage-has a tremendous negative impact on national and regional human and socio-economic development. In this study, a review of Iraqi geographical and meteorically characteristics will be made. In addition, a review of the human activities that increased desertification in Iraq areas that reflects on increasing sand and dust storms in the country will also be reviewed. The focus on dust causes, types and specifications was a priority in order to analyze its effects on PV systems. PV systems performance is affected by dust and dust storms highly influence the energy collected. A comprehensive review for the effect of dust on PV in Iraq is represented to researchers; designers and engineers dealing with PV systems in Iraq.

Follow-up of fluorine pollution effect on grapevine

<p style="text-align: justify;">Effects of atmospheric pollution on three local grapevines, Asli, Jerbi and Tounsi, growing in the vicinity of a phosphate fertiliser factory, consist of an exhibition of characteristic necrosis on leaves and fruits. Analysis of necrotic leaf areas allowed us to distribute local vines into sensitivity classes. The follow-up, in function of time and space, of stomatal conductance and leaf fluoride content during the different seasons allowed us to reveal some offensive strategies allowing these vines to escape from pollutants toxicity and maintaining its vitality. Therefore, giving that fluorine is strange to its metabolism, grapevine tends to accumulate it, thanks to an external concentration mechanism, in the tips and leaf margins. Necrotic areas are delimited by a narrow brown border line. Thus, allowing the plant not only to avoid F<sup>-</sup> toxicity, but also to keep a big assimilation surface. In addition, possibilities as F<sup>-</sup> excluding, F<sup>-</sup> vacuol partitioning, temporary closing of stoma, F<sup>-</sup> trapping as CaF2, SiF4 are also to be considered.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">By another way, our results seem to show that full mature grapevine leaves may constitute an efficient tool to assess fluorine pollution impact. Berries contamination seems to be affected directly by the factory smoke, there is no endogenous supply. Likewise, by its characteristic necrosis in the leaf boundaries, grapevine may be considered as a bioindicator variety of fluorine pollution which can be used in mapping polluted areas.</p>

The evolution of mortality in an industrial town: Le Creusot in the nineteenth century

The article examines the population of the town of Le Creusot in detail with respect to the characteristics and evolution of mortality in the second third of the nineteenth century, during the town's rapid industrial growth. The authors analyze mortality statistics of Le Creusot in relation to other towns in the same department (Saône-et-Loire), to the neighboring city of Lyon, to another industrial town, Seraing, and with France as a whole. The effects of industrialization and the influx of labor on the mortality rate of Le Creusot appear to be undeniable. Life expectancy at birth among inhabitants of Le Creusot in 1836 was thus attained again only in 1876, after forty years of worsening living and environmental conditions. Among the causes noted for excess mortality in industrial towns, it is important to distinguish those due to working conditions (accidents, fatigue) and the direct consequences of industrial activity (factory smoke, toxic waste) from those due to living and housing conditions and the state of public and private hygiene in the town.

Smoke and Rain

IN a paper published in 19291 the conclusion was drawn from observations made in two or three different ways that smoke discharged into the atmosphere tends to promote rainfall and to precipitate rain in highly moist air when, without smoke, it would not have fallen. One test was to compute the rainfall on each day of the week, and the result showed that on an average of thirty years, Sundays had rather less rain than weekdays by about 6 per cent, or more correctly, the average of weekdays had an excess over Sundays by this amount. As factories in Hochdale and neighbouring Lancashire towns do not work on Sundays there is then a general absence of smoke in the air, although domestic smoke, which is of less importance, continues. The outpouring of factory smoke on working weekdays was considered to be the cause of the excess of rain on weekdays over Sundays.

Planning Sales Campaigns in Forty-Eight Sovereignties

PROBABLY most of you think that you have a pretty good understanding of the nation's geography. If the 48 states were hacked out into jig-saw pieces, you could put the puzzle together again in quick order. You think you could-but, as a matter of fact the geography has changed a great deal since you went to school. We don't have 48 states anymore-we have 48 separate kingdoms. I didn't come here to give you a lecture on geography, and so I haven't a complete December, I939, model map to show you. However, I do have a segment of the map and here it is. It used to be, you know, that it was pretty hard to tell when you stepped from one state into another, but you don't have that difficulty today, for each little state or kingdom has raised a high wall. They have guns for defensive purposes -guns in the form of multitudinous tax, inspection, standardizing and grading laws-designed to protect home industry. It's strange that they waited until the Thirties to figure out this form of protection, for the idea is modelled after the Republican Party's Protective Tariff System, Buy American. Buy Bingo State Products. Buy Bilgeville. This big-scale map doesn't show you all of the interesting details. For example-here (pointing) is a gate, and if you are in one principality you may look through the gate into the adjoining kingdom where you see luscious green grass and belching factory smoke chimneys-a perfect picture of sales potentialities. You decide that you would like to do business in such a rich kingdom, and, trustingly, you start through the gate, but immediately you are pounced upon by uniformed guards and embarrassed eve more than the young farmer whose plight was recently described by Governor Sta k of Missouri.

Photoelectric Exhibition at the Science Museum

A SPECIAL exhibition devoted to photoelectric cells and their practical applications will be opened at the Science Museum, South Kensington, on March 25, and will remain on view for three months. Photoelectric cells are now being widely applied both in pure science and in industry, and the exhibition is intended to give an illustration of the great variety of these applications. Besides exhibits showing the construction of the three main types of light-sensitive cell, some simple working experiments have been arranged to demonstrate their properties and to illustrate some of the methods of amplifying the small currents yielded by the cells under varying illuminations. The practical applications of photoelectric cells can be roughly classified into those involving only the detection of light and those involving its measurement. The first class is illustrated in the exhibition by a number of working models showing the use of the cells, for example, for counting small packages on a conveyor belt, and in burglar alarms, while, as an illustration of the way in which a comparatively large amount of power can be controlled, there is a door which is automatically opened whenever a certain beam of light is interrupted by the visitor. Applications involving the measurement of light intensity are also illustrated. These include the measurement of daylight or of indoor lighting, the automatic switching of street-lamps, and the measurement of the density of factory smoke, while the ability of photoelectric cells to respond to rapidly fluctuating light is shown by their well-known applications in the reproduction of sound from sound-films, and their use in television.
