CONT

Abortion access is a critical component of comprehensive reproductive health care; it is vital for maintaining bodily autonomy as well as promoting individual and community health, safety, and well-being. In the United States, approximately [one in four] people with the capacity for pregnancy will seek first trimester abortion care by the age of 45. Both medication and procedural abortions are safe, with complications being rare. Despite this, 89% of US counties do not provide abortion care, and thousands of people face numerous barriers each to access the care they critically need. These barriers can take the form of restrictive state or federal laws, financial limitations, religious prohibitions within certain health systems, and widespread stigma associated with being an abortion provider.

Là où l'accès à l'avortement est limité, il est fréquent que l'interruption de grossesse ne puisse être pratiquée qu'au deuxième trimestre, ce qui en augmente les risques. On a tout lieu de croire que cela favorise également les avortements illégaux et dangereux. Il est prouvé qu'une législation très sévère peut être extrêmement préjudiciable aux adolescentes. À l'échelle mondiale, on observe une mortalité maternelle supérieure dans les pays où la législation de l'avortement est restrictive. [...] À ce sujet, la CIPD [Conférence internationale sur la population et le développement] a indiqué que les pays doivent veiller à ce que les programmes et les attitudes des prestataires de santé ne restreignent pas l'accès des adolescent(e)s aux services et aux informations dont ils/elles ont besoin [...]

There was some support for the adoption of market-driven capacity reduction mechanisms such as enterprise combining, which would provide individual enterprise owners with the flexibility to "grow" their business through consolidation, mergers, buy-outs, etc. Others strongly opposed the introduction of capacity reduction mechanisms, such as enterprise combining. This is based on concerns over the potential concentration of quotas, capitalization of investment into the value of the licences, and the collection of rents or loyalties by licence holders who no longer participate in the fishery.

In his theory of the development of intelligence in stages, Piaget distinguishes four different periods of development relative to the form of organization of cognitive structures, and passing organically into one another : the periods of(a) sensorimotor intelligence,(b) preoperational representation,(c) concrete operations and(d) formal operations(...) But, whereas operations at this stage [concrete operations] are still bound up with concrete activity, at the last stage of development of intelligence, the period of formal operations(11 to 15 years), they become independent of the concrete object, and the individual acquires the capacity to draw purely formal conclusions from hypothetical assumptions.

  • Waste Management
  • Nuclear Waste Materials
CONT

Different disposal modules are used in some places for specific purposes. Pits are used for disposal of bulky, non-compactible wastes such as tanks, piping and large items of equipment. As the pit is filled, the disposed wastes are backfilled and covered with soil or concrete. Other disposal modules, such as lined shallow wells and shafts, may be provided with engineered barriers ....

CONT

The concept [burying the waste deep underground in the Canadian Shield] isolates used fuel from the environment using a series of natural as well as manmade barriers. Used nuclear fuel bundles would be contained in vaults 500 to 1,000 metres below ground. These vaults would consist of a network of tunnels and disposal rooms about 2 kilometres by 2 kilometres that could hold 191,000 tonnes of used fuel.

CONT

Typically, each [shallow land burial] trench has a sloping floor cut into the natural soil and a French drain of gravel down one of the long sides. The trench bottom is covered with a foot or two of sand to allow water to flow freely into the French drain, especially when the trench is open during operations. Sampling pipes or tubes are placed against the trench wall, with their lower ends in the French drain, when the trench is dug. Monitoring of each disposal unit (engineered trench) is accomplished by sampling any water found in the French drain through these tubes and analyzing its contents.

CONT

... the aboveground vault is a large steel-reinforced concrete structure with vertical access(through an open top) for placement of the waste. Within each structure there are numerous disposal units. Each disposal unit is sealed when filled to capacity. Individual units are sized to accommodate waste deliveries for about 1 to 2 weeks.

CONT

Pour les déchets d'activité moyenne, des monolithes de béton peuvent être obtenus à partir de tranchées bétonnées dans lesquelles on dispose les déchets et qui sont ensuite obturées par injection d'un coulis de ciment.

On y voit le réseau de canalisations enterrées qui ceinture chaque module de stockage et qui est destiné à contrôler l'efficacité des barrières et en particulier de la couche argileuse.

CONT

Another soil process, which is of importance to subsea pipeline engineering, is dynamic liquefaction caused either due to the passing of individual(steep) waves or due to a gradual build-up of pore pressure in the soil due to repeated cyclical forcing, such as wave motion. As a consequence of liquefaction the soil loses its bearing capacity. Hence, a negatively buoyant pipe will sink into the seabed, but what is usually worse is that a buoyant pipe can work its way out of the seabed with potentially hazardous consequences. Although dynamic liquefaction has been studied for more than 20 years, we are still some ways from formulating clear design rules, partially because it is still not clear how important this effect is in the field; the evidence is contradictory.

An engineered concrete structure located above natural grade that is closed by placement of a concrete cover and that is provided with vertical access (through an open top) for placement of the radioactive waste.

Figure 8 outlines the above-ground vault option. Its main elements include: . wastes disposed of above grade; . an engineered concrete cover over the wastes; . structural stability provided by the walls and cross-walls of the facility; and . voids between containerized wastes filled with nonstructural material (bulk wastes are placed in the vault, uncompacted, by an enclosed-conveyor materials handling system through holes in the roof). One major reason for building an above-ground vault is that it allows for constant surveillance. ... Since any such facility would be exposed to the elements, natural decay would be a problem and constant maintenance would be required.

CONT

Aboveground vault disposal consists of placing the waste in engineered concrete structures located above natural grade. A vault is completely closed by placement of a concrete roof over each backfilled cell. The facility lacks any earthen cover system and relies principally on the structure to isolate the waste from the biosphere.

"Drying is a preservation process that prevents the deterioration of perishable crops and allows for handling, transport, and storage of food products for sale outside the community where they are grown. Researchers at Chiang Mai University in northeastern Thailand have adapted drying technologies to help expand the markets for fruits and vegetables. For individual farmers, a cabinet-type tray dryer was designed with a capacity of 100 kg. Warm air is produced by a wood-fired furnace and a natural thermal draft moves the air throughout the unit. This dryer has been tested and accepted by the longan farmers who have tried it, and is suitable in those areas where sufficient fuelwood is available".

Des chercheurs de l'Université Chiang Mai dans le nord-est de la Thaïlande ont perfectionné les techniques de séchage afin d'accroître le marché des fruits et légumes. Pour les petits agriculteurs, on a mis au point un séchoir à plateaux en forme d'armoire d'une capacité de 100 kg. Une fournaise à bois y produit de l'air chaud et un courant thermique naturel mobilise l'air dans l'unité. On a testé le séchoir et on l'a utilisé dans les plantations de longanes; les fermiers l'ont dès lors adopté. Le procédé convient là où il y a suffisamment de bois de chauffe.»
