Epidemiology of Rickettsiosis in Children of Almarj in East of Libya -Feb 2022

Background: The most important tick-borne infectious disease in North Africa is Mediterranean spotted fever, which is endemic in Libya's green mountain region, with dogs serving as the main domestic reservoir. Aim of this study is to identify the epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory profile of spotted fever in children in the Almarj region, as well as the treatment response. Materials and Methods: A cohort study with prospective data collection of 60 patients visiting Almarj teaching hospital as outpatients or admitted from January 1ST 2018 to December 31ST 2019. Results: The median age of the 60 children was 3.3 years. The 55% were males. A tick-bite history were given in three cases. Majority of the cases had direct contact with domestic animals, all had a high-grade fever and rash (purpuric in 29% and 71% maculopapular). Arthralgia, myalgia affect the joints and muscles of the lower limbs in the majority of cases. One case with Hepatomegaly. In our sample, white blood cell count 56% was normal and thrombocytopenia in 37% of the patients. A mild hyponatremia was the most common electrolyte disturbance 56.9%. High liver enzymes in three cases. The antibiotics used in treatment were well tolerated and there were no deaths. Conclusions and Recommendations: Spotted fever group Rickettsiosis (most likely type is Medritanian spotted fever) is common in Almarj area, and it is curable. Rickettsia should be considered as a possible diagnosis of any febrile disease in summer or spring even before the rash appearance, or when there is no rash at all, particularly in those living in rural areas. The oral antibiotics (doxycycline and azithromycin) had a great response.

Value Realization and Optimization Path of Forest Ecological Products-Case Study from Zhejiang Province, China.

In the last decade, more and more attention has been paid to the efficiency of ecological products’ value in the literature. Studying the value-conversion efficiency of forest ecological products can measure and reflect the huge value contained in forests, which is of great significance to promote the transformation between “clear water and green mountains” and “gold and silver mountains” as well as solve the problem of economic development and environmental protection. Studying the value-conversion efficiency of forest ecological products can scientifically evaluate the results of the mutual transformation of “clear water and green mountains” and “gold and silver mountains”, which is of great significance for deepening the theory of the “two mountains”. This paper took Zhejiang Province as the research object, constructed an index system of forest ecological products’ value accounting, used the super-SBM model and Malmquist index to calculate the conversion efficiency of forest ecological products’ value, and proposed optimization paths according to the research results. The results showed that: (1) From 2000 to 2020, the value of forest ecological products in Zhejiang Province showed a fluctuating upward trend. In 2020, the total value of forest ecological products was RMB 973.717 billion. Among them, the value of material products was RMB 12.560 billion, the value of ecological regulatory products was RMB 726.323 billion, and the value of cultural service products was RMB 234.834 billion. (2) There were great differences in the value-conversion efficiency of forest ecological products among cities in Zhejiang Province, but the overall trend was steady and developing in a positive direction. (3) The total-factor productivity of forest ecological products in Zhejiang Province showed a fluctuating trend, and its growth was mainly limited by the technical efficiency and technological progress index. (4) The main reasons for the conversion-efficiency loss of forest ecological products’ value in Zhejiang Province were excessive input and insufficient output. The specific reasons for the loss of efficiency in different cities were different, so it is necessary to find improvement paths according to local conditions. Our research provides a new perspective for the academic community to evaluate the value-realization effect of ecological products as well as a decision-making reference for policy makers of ecological environmental protection and construction.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Activity for Service Brand: Effects of CSR-Brand Fit, Consumer-CSR Fit on Skepticism and Brand Loyalty

Because of the widespread CSR practice, the quality and outcome of CSR activities vary, and the tendency of consumers to become suspicious of CSR activities is increasing. This paper intends to examine how the antecedents “CSR-brand fit” and “consumer-CSR fit” impact on consumers’ skepticism and how skepticism influences service brand loyalty. A questionnaire is designed with the case “Meituan’s Green Mountain Project” and conducted to examine the relationship of different variables. Adopting survey data methodology, there are 91 Chinese Meituan users participated in the survey, and significant results were generated through simple linear regression analysis in SPSS. The result indicates that the increase in CSR-brand fit and consumer-CSR fit can reduce consumers’ skepticism, and there is no significant relationship between skepticism and brand loyalty. Thus, it is found through the results that enhancing consumers’ perception of the congruity between brand image and CSR activities, and improving the perceived fit between CSR activities and personal relevance, can contribute to minimizing consumers’ skepticism. In this case, the author proposes practical solutions with the functional theory of attitudes and the self-image congruence model. The solutions guide practitioners to pay attention to the compatibility, fit, and logic of content when planning CSR activities, with the aim of reducing the level of skepticism, leading to an effective outcome for brands.

Force Fields of Montaña Verde: Spatializing the Commons in the City-as-Oeuvre

This article assesses what a spatial expression of the commons might entail. It asks, “How is ‘common space’ produced when the initiative thereto lies at the institutional rather than at the grassroots level?” The article first proposes a dyadic understanding of common space in terms of endogenous and exogenous commoning: internal governance and external negotiation, respectively. Thereafter, Lefebvre’s spatial triad is mobilized as an ensemble of sometimes conflictive and sometimes complementary “force fields” that act upon these two variants of common space. The article takes as a central case study Montaña Verde (“Green Mountain”), a wooden arch that was built and then dismantled as part of the “Antwerp Baroque 2018” festival. Results showcase how a multiple set of significations was projected upon Montaña Verde: as urban green space, as museum domain, as common-pool resource, and as a means to recast public space to collective use.

Research on the Restoration and Development of Tourism According to the Characteristics of Rural and Urban Groups --- Based on Cointegration and Error Correction Model

With the further establishment of the scientific development concept of "green water and green mountains are golden mountains and silver mountains", tourism has become an important part of the tertiary industry and an important way for urban development, poverty alleviation and prosperity. It is known as the "sunrise industry". During the epidemic period, even if the tourism industry and its related catering and accommodation fields are greatly impacted, the tertiary industry is still the driving force for maintaining local macroeconomic stability in all regions of China and the key to the victory of the "battle against poverty". Based on the modeling of non-stationary time series, this paper establishes cointegration and error correction models for the relationship between urban and rural residents' domestic tourism consumption, residents' income and social security, in order to put forward reasonable suggestions and measures on how to restore tourism in different regions after the epidemic. The innovation of this paper is to compare rural areas with urban areas, and explore and analyze the different effects and paths of influencing factors. The conclusion of this paper is that for urban residents, the policy of increasing residents' income or reducing personal tax to increase disposable income can better stimulate urban residents' tourism consumption, while residents in rural areas pay more attention to social welfare and security, Therefore, the economic recovery of tourism in the later stage of the epidemic should be developed according to local conditions and different consumer groups.

Regional sustainable development strategy based on the coordination between ecology and economy: A case study of Sichuan Province, China

The coordinated development of ecology and economy is one of the key issues of sustainable development. A full understanding of the relationship between ecology and economy is necessary for the coordinated development of the two. This paper takes Sichuan Province as the research area and county-level administrative districts as the research unit. Based on the medium value of the ecological quality index and economic growth index of each unit, Sichuan Province is divided into dual pressure zones (DPZ), economic backward zones (EBZ), ecological crisis zones (ECZ), and coordinated development zones (CDZ) and the coupling coordination degree (CCD) of each unit is studied. The results show that: (1) On the whole, the eastern part of Sichuan Province has a better level of economic development, and the southern part of the western region has a higher ecological quality. The ecological quality and economic growth pattern are highly correlated with topographical conditions. (2) The distribution characteristics of the four types of partitions are significantly different. The EBZ are more distributed in the western and southern of Sichuan Province, the ECZ are more distributed in the eastern, the DPZ and CDZ are relatively more sporadic. More than 90% of the partition changed zones are distributed in the eastern area. (3) The CCD of more than 95% units belongs to moderate coordination and high coordination. The overall CCD of the four types of zones has shown an upward trend from 2010 to 2015. Based on the results, Sichuan Province should follow the path of clear waters and green mountains are as good as mountains of gold and silver, and targeted sustainable development suggestions for DPZ, EBZ, ECZ, and CDZ are put forward. This paper provides guidance for formulating regional sustainable development strategies, especially in areas with unbalanced development due to congenital topographical conditions.

Centering Justice in a Sustainable Food Systems Master's Program

The new Master of Science in Sustainable Food Systems (MSFS) program at Prescott College was re-envisioned as part of the preferred teach out partnership with Green Mountain College that closed in 2019. In collaboration with faculty from both colleges, the new MSFS program was developed to intentionally center social justice and offer students aFood Justiceconcentration. Food justice is a growing movement that seeks to shift global, industrial food systems toward more equitable, just, and sustainable foodways. Using this definition, students in theFood Justicecore course uncovered how forms of institutional oppression prevent certain communities from accessing healthy and culturally appropriate food. This course was designed and taught from an anti-racist, anti-colonial, and culturally sustaining pedagogical framework. TheFood Justicecourse frames students' investigation of the current food system and how issues of privilege, access, and identity relate to food justice throughout the MSFS program. Through experiential learning, students were asked to develop and implement a project that aligns with social justice values. In this perspective paper, we describe our experiences as sustainable food systems educators in making structural changes to the master's program. We share the values and assumptions that led to the development of theFood Justiceconcentration and course; detail our pedagogical frameworks; and highlight students' projects as a manifestation of the student experience.

COMMUNITY PERCEPTIONS ON THE MANAGEMENT OF GEDAMBAAN BEACH TOURISM OBJECTS IN KOTABARU REGENCY, SOUTH KALIMANTAN, INDONESIA

Gedambaan Village is one of the villages that has tourism potential in Kotabaru Regency, namely Gedambaan Beach. This beach offers two natural atmospheres that can be enjoyed simultaneously, namely views of green mountains and expanses of sea decorated with bagang fishermen, and equipped with various adequate facilities and infrastructure. The existence of coastal tourism will have a positive impact on the local community if they can participate in taking advantage of it as a new business opportunity. On the other hand, this condition will have a negative impact on their livelihoods and will only reduce the ecological quality of the coast if all economic actors there are not able to maintain the environmental sustainability. This study aims to analyze community perceptions of the management of Gedambaan Beach tourism objects. The sample in this study amounted to 101 respondents consisting of 78 local people (approach with the Slovin formula to the number of family heads) and as many as 23 people (census) tourism object managers. Perception analysis was carried out descriptively using a Likert scale calculation. The results of the study showed that the local community feels that the existence of Gedambaan beach tourism did not provide job opportunities and business opportunities for them, while they were of the view that the management of the beach tourism needs support, good relations, and involvement of the local community, especially in environmental conservation.

Depiction of Nature in the Poetry of Robert Frost and that of the Romantics: Questing for Similitude and Dissimilitude through a Comparative Analysis

This paper attempts to investigate the depiction of nature in the poetry of Robert Frost and how this treatment simultaneously resembles and differs from that of romantic poetry. Though he belongs to the era of modernism, his poetry carries numerous characteristics of romantic poetry. The researcher tries to compare the poetry of Robert Frost and that of the Romantics how they are identical or dissimilar in the representation of nature. Robert Frost might be called the interpreter of nature and humanity. He shows that he is a close observer of both nature and people. On the other hand, Romantic writers see nature as a source of inspiration, solace in agony, healer in mental illness, rescuer in struggling period, etc. They treat nature as Mother Nature where their poetry tells us the beauty of green forestland, woods, hills and mountains, riverbanks, pastoral scenarios, breezes and winds, fresh air, sunrises, and sunsets, etc. Whereas Robert Frost always tries to make a bridge between nature and humankind as he believes that there is a close relationship between man and nature. He finds a resemblance between the order of nature and human life. Frost depicts the symbolic quality of nature. Nature symbolizes the human world and all creatures including mankind are bound to agree and obey the rules of nature. Thus this article would try to uphold Frost's treatment of nature in comparison with that of the Romantics.

Analysis of economic benefits of Chinese medicine eco-agriculture based on multiple stakeholders

As the most advanced environment-friendly production model in the international society, ecological agriculture of Chinese materia medica(CMM) is the only way for the development of modern agriculture. With the proposal of the declaration on ecolo-gical agriculture of CMM, &quot;Don't grab land from farmland, don't be enemies of grass and insects, don't be afraid of barren slopes and forests, and live up to the green and green mountains&quot;, the ecological planting of CMM has blossomed all over the country, and formed a scientific theory, technology and model. Based on the theory and method of economics, this paper expounds the comprehensive benefits and development advantages of ecological agriculture of CMM from the perspectives of farmers(producers), patients(consumers) and the country. From the perspective of medicinal farmers, the input and output income of conventional agriculture and ecological agriculture of CMM such as Panax ginseng, Astragalus propinquus, Atractylodes lancea, and Bupleurum chinense were compared, and it was found that ecological agriculture of CMM had obvious advantages in net income, average annual income and input-output ratio, which could better promote farmers' income. From the perspective of patients, according to the same dose, the content of active ingredients in ecologically planted CMMs is significantly higher than that in conventionally-planted herbs, and the amount of effective substances taken by patients is also higher, so as to achieve better therapeutic effect. At the national level, ecological planting of CMM is the key to ensuring the high-quality development of CMM industry, increasing farmers' income, ensuring the safety of people's drug use and promoting the sustainable development of agriculture. It is also an important part of realizing the harmonious development of economy, society and environment and promoting ecological civilization. In general, the declaration on ecological agriculture of CMM embo-dies the core characteristics and goals of ecological agriculture, and also points of the path and vision of ecological agriculture of CMM in the future. The declaration will guide production practice, promote the benefit of farmers, and lay the foundation for the sustainable development of CMM industry.
