Can jatropha curcas contribute to climate change mitigation?

Climate change mitigation is one of the key arguments for promoting biofuels. It has been claimed that cultivating jatropha increases the carbon stock when grown on marginal land, and additional GHG reductions are possible by replacing fossil diesel with biofuels. We have shown that bioenergy from jatropha can generate GHG savings of more than 40% compared with fossil fuels. However, jatropha can also create a carbon debt, delaying net savings for more than 50 years. The potential for climate change mitigation depends on where and how the value chain is established and is particularly sensitive to the initial soil and vegetation carbon stocks, land preparation, crop management and use of by-products

The Wooster Voice (Wooster, OH), 1958-03-14

The first page of this Voice is unique in which it does not have the usual heading, but instead has a comic strip ad for cigarettes. There are also ads instead of many pertinent articles on this page. It also has many upside down articles and images. The heading is found on the footer of the last page, and it is called the Wooster Vice, instead of Voice. Right above the newspaper name it says, save this issue for tissue. It is the joke edition, which usually falls around April first. This is one of the first of the Wooster Vices.\u27https://openworks.wooster.edu/voice1951-1960/1167/thumbnail.jp

The Social Welfare Workers Movement: A Case Study of New Left Thought in Practice

During the upheavals of the 1960\u27s many human service professions and academic disciplines (e.g. psychology, sociology, law, medicine, etc.) underwent severe criticisms of their goals and methodologies, generated both from within and without. In social work one such critique came from the Social Welfare Workers Movement (SWWM), born out of protest-oriented activities at the National Conference on Social Welfare in new York City, 1969. Although SWWM dissipated after about two years, interest in radical social work is still very much alive today. The intent of this paper, then, is to record and analyze the career of the Social Welfare Workers Movement through a case study of the Boston SWWM Chapter, so that others may profit from its successes and failures. The process of explication should also clarify the use of social action as a method of deliberate social change and the potential for a radicals-inthe- professions type of social movement. New Left theory will be used as the conceptual framework for analysis, the application of theory to practice as it were
