IMPROVING ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH THROUGH REDUCE REUSE RECYCLE (THE 3RS) AND TRASH CANS WITH ATTRACTIVE PICTURES AT HIGH SCHOOL IN PERCUT SEI TUAN SUB-DISTRICT

Waste management should be carried out by implementing the concept of the 3Rs. Waste is generated in various places including in schools. Students frequently do not collect the waste into a trash can and often leave the waste in the schoolyard, desk drawers. Even though the slogan “keep the school clean” is instructed to the students, but they still often litter the school environment. This activity aims to improve students’ litter education in waste management by implementing the 3Rs and providing trash cans with attractive pictures to attract students to collect the waste into the trash cans. The method was participatory method and training to manage waste based on the concept of the 3Rs. The result shows that students were able to manage waste by applying the concept of the 3Rs. Students understood the concepts of the 3Rs, and created some products such as phone stand, hand soap dispenser, and reusable grocery bags. Trash cans with attractive pictures were provided in several areas around the school such as teachers’ room, canteen, and classroom. Students actively participated in waste management by applying the 3Rs. This activity beneficially reduces environmental pollution and simultaneously improves personal autonomy in environmental sustainability

Experimentation with Animals: A Key Aspect of the 3Rs. The Genetic Quality

The genetic quality of laboratory animals is essential for reproducibility of scientific research. Working with animals of certifiedgenetic quality is still a pending issue in Argentina due to the lack of routine genetic controls, of information on the genetic background of animals and of proper training. Apart from being concerned with having their results published and getting funding for research, scientists should know the genetic origin of laboratory animals. Consequently, they should perform genetic controls to verifywhether animal integrity has been compromised by accidental genetic contamination or genetic drift. The aim of this work was toevaluate the genetic purity of the inbred C57BL/6J mouse strain from three animal facilities belonging to the Buenos Aires UniversitySchool of Medicine network by analyzing a panel of microsatellite markers. Female mice tail samples (3-5 mm) were taken and genomic DNA was obtained by organic extraction. The genetic profile of each animal was determined by PCR-fragment analysis, usingmicrosatellites D1Mit155, D2Mit493, D3Mit49, D13Mit13, D6Mit8 and D12Mit12, located on six different autosomal chromosomesand selected from the Mouse Genome Informatics database (www.informatics.jax.org/searches). The results obtained provided keydata on the genetic quality of the three inbred animal colonies studied. They also served as an example for other laboratory animalfacilities in Argentina and as a starting point to modify the conditions and management of laboratory animal colonies. We determinedthe genetic purity of the inbred C57BL/6J mouse strain in all animal facilities evaluated. All six loci analyzed were homozygous,certifying their isogenicity and phenotypic uniformity. These results are promising for animal facilities mainly performing biomedical research. They also show a positive evolution in handling animal colonies and use of the 3Rs, and researcher commitment withanimal science, since they promote the supply of genetically quality-controlled animals. The positive impact of these results shouldencourage other researchers using this inbred strain to perform periodic genetic monitoring, thereby consolidating the supply ofquality-controlled mice. This pioneering study carried out in IGEVET (CONICET- UNLP) should consolidate the genetic monitoring ofinbred strains throughout the country.Fil: Lizarraga, Maria Alfonsina.

Surakarta: Public Administration Science Courses, Faculty of Social and Political Sciences Sebelas Maret University Surakarta 2015. This study aims to determine and describe the garbage management by the Department of Public Works and Energy and Mineral Resources Klaten regency in applying the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle). In describing Waste Management in the regency of Klaten, the author refers to the management functions which include planning, organizing, and monitoring. This study is a qualitative descriptive study. Data collection techniques used is interview through direct communication with the employees of the Department of Public Works and EMR. In addition to interviews, the author uses data collection techniques of observation and documentation. Observation is done by direct observation of the object under study. Documentation is done by reading the documents related to the thesis research material and collecting pictures of the location and infrastructure objects. Data analysis techniques are interactive data analysis, namely reducing the data collected to then be deduced. Waste management in the application of the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse and Recycle) by the Department of General and EMR Klaten regency is a good program and it is accordance with Klaten Regency Regulation No. 13 of 2012 about waste management. It can be seen from management functions performed. Planning is done is to increase hygiene and waste disposal services to the community through the dissemination levy, the waste management of the source and cost recovery of waste. Then the garbage management is done by Department of Cleaning and Landscaping. The agitation conducted by the Department by moving the staff and attendant waste. Then the implementation of waste management starts from garbage collection ending up in landfill. Supervision is done by the Head of Department structurally. Implementation of the supervision is done through management reports and field visits. Besides, monitoring can also be done by seeing the results, whether it is already in line with the plan or not.

Animal experimentation in Malta : regulatory processes and future perspectives

Prior to Malta’s accession to the European Union (EU) in May 2004, new legislative processes regulating the use of animals for scientific research purposes were adopted in line with the provisions found under the European Union Council Directive 86/609/EEC. The scope of these regulations is to protect animals used or intended to be used in scientific experimental procedures which may cause pain, suffering, distress or lasting harm, using evaluation procedures that promote refinement, reduction and replacement techniques.peer-reviewe

Strengthening Community-Based Capacity through Ecosettlement Concept in Kelurahan

A Semarang City Plan 2021 was prepared to ensure that the planning for Semarang will strike a balance between physical, economic, social and environmental development. There is crucial significance in meeting needs of the people that are vital for the development of Semarang city because it reflects upon an inclusive society for the Semarang city. Therefore, understanding the environmental, economic and social aspects of Kelurahan or district is considered a practical perspective to build the collaborative partnership among the stakeholders. This paper aims to identify strengths environmentally friendly based on the role of institutions and community character. Green techniques implemented in these communities will be analyzed while using eco-settlement as illustrative examples. After that, interviews that conducted in the visited communities will be analyzed while making use of communities of practice approach. There are some environmental issues in many kelurahan in Semarang. In the factual issues, garbage is one of the fundamental problems of the area, followed by the landscape. In the case of perception of environmental problems, people have different thinking on the problem. The policy tools can divide into two components: community-based eco-settlement and strengthen the capacity for institutional development. Community-based eco-settlement incorporates promotion of environmental conservation and strengthening the sense of community among the residents. On the other hand, increasing the capacity for institutional includes enhancing the capacity of the local community and collaboration between the local communities

Risks, alternative knowledge strategies and democratic legitimacy: the conflict over co-incineration of hazardous industrial waste in Portugal.

The decision to incinerate hazardous industrial waste in cement plants (the socalled ‘co-incineration’ process) gave rise to one of the most heated environmental conflicts ever to take place in Portugal. The bitterest period was between 1997 and 2002, after the government had made a decision. Strong protests by residents, environmental organizations, opposition parties, and some members of the scientific community forced the government to backtrack and to seek scientific legitimacy for the process through scientific expertise. The experts ratified the government’s decision, stating that the risks involved were socially acceptable. The conflict persisted over a decade and ended up clearing the way for a more sustainable method over which there was broad social consensus – a multifunctional method which makes it possible to treat, recover and regenerate most wastes. Focusing the analysis on this conflict, this paper has three aims: (1) to discuss the implications of the fact that expertise was ‘confiscated’ after the government had committed itself to the decision to implement co-incineration and by way of a reaction to the atmosphere of tension and protest; (2) to analyse the uses of the notions of ‘risk’ and ‘uncertainty’ in scientific reports from both experts and counter-experts’ committees, and their different assumptions about controllability and criteria for considering certain practices to be sufficiently safe for the public; and (3) to show how the existence of different technical scientific and political attitudes (one more closely tied to government and the corporate interests of the cement plants, the other closer to the environmental values of reuse and recycling and respect for the risk perception of residents who challenged the facilities) is closely bound up with problems of democratic legitimacy. This conflict showed how adopting more sustainable and lower-risk policies implies a broader view of democratic legitimacy, one which involves both civic movements and citizens themselves

Grizzly Bear Attractant Policies In Montana: How Regulations, Recommendations, And Resources Differ Among And Between Recovery Areas

Edmo, Kenneth, M.S, Autumn 2022 Resource Conservation Grizzly bear attractant policies in Montana: how regulations, recommendations, and resources differ among and between recovery areas Chairperson or Co-Chairperson: Alexander L. Metcalf & Chad J. Bishop Abstract Grizzly bears (Ursus arctos horribilis) are a keystone species and play an important role in their environment. After near extinction, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service implemented a recovery plan of six recovery zones to increase grizzly populations. Although these efforts allowed grizzly bear numbers to increase, so too have human-grizzly bear conflicts, significantly challenging agencies in charge of bear management. A concern from some agencies is the perception that inconsistent regulations on attractants (e.g., food,-garbage) across jurisdictions diminishes public compliance. To help address this issue, I conducted a policy inventory across federal, state, and local agencies that pertain to recreation, landowners, and several municipalities in Montana. I categorized agency policy information into one of three categories: requirements, recommendations, and resources available (the “3Rs”). I assessed how those policies differed across jurisdictions and made recommendations towards consistency for grizzly bear management across jurisdictions. Results showed substantial policy consistency among the 3Rs for recreation, landowners, and municipalities, but exceptions existed, especially with respect to managing recreational conflicts. Most agencies prohibit individuals from burning attractants, however, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the National Park Service (NPS) recommend burning attractants. I found that resources available to help people mitigate conflict were highly variable. I found evidence suggesting regulations can be easier to enforce for recreation rather than for landowners. Agencies managing human-grizzly bear conflicts may benefit from simplifying regulations and recommendations for landowners, municipalities, and recreationists. Making the 3Rs more consistent, particularly when recreating (e.g., having the same regulations and recommendations for every state or national park), could make it easier for people to know what is required and what they should do to prevent bear encounters while making enforcement easier for authorities. My work highlights opportunities to improve consistency of the 3Rs for those living and recreating in Montana
