The Northern Dimension concept covers a broad and diverse geographic area, stretching from the arctic and sub-arctic to the southern shores of the Baltic, and from North-West Russia in the East to Iceland and Greenland in the West. The Northern Dimension aims at addressing the special regional development challenges of northern Europe. These include harsh climatic conditions, long distances, wide disparities in standards-of-living, environmental challenges includings problems with nuclear waste and waste water management, and insufficient transport and border crossing facilities. The Northern Dimension is also intended to take advantage of the rich potential of the region, for example in terms of natural resources, economic dynamism and a rich cultural heritage. 1, record 7, English, - Northern%20Dimension

The Sikhs believe that where five of them meet together there is the Guru present in their midst. Every member of the Khalsa must carry the five symbols of the brotherhood, called kakkas, as the name of each begins with the letter "k". They would wear their hair (kesh) uncut, carry a comb (kangha) in the hair-knot, an iron bangle (kara) on the wrist, a tight-fitting pair of shorts (kachch) around the loins and a sword (kripan) hanging from the side. 2, record 16, English, - kangha

Le Khalsa créé en 1699 par le gourou Gobind Singh est une perfection du sikhisme. Les combattants de la foi reçoivent le baptême de l'épée à double tranchant(kandé-da-pahul) et jurent de rester fidèles aux 5 K : Kesh(cheveux longs et barbe jamais coupée), kangha(peigne de bois) et kachcha(pantalon court), kara(bracelet d’acier) et kirpan(épée). 2, record 16, French, - kangha

[In a restricted marine environment] If the climate is arid, evaporation exceeds inflow, and the water becomes hypersaline. ... Under conditions of aridity, the restricted sea has adjacent lands with little or no stream action other than torrential episodes which may occasionally wash in detrital material. The sea may attain high temperatures, with excessive evaporation, and development of salinity greater than that of the open sea. Excessive evaporation produces a lowering of water level, and induces a permanent inflowing current of normal sea water across, or through, the restricting barriers. ... If it were not for the continued inflow current, the history of restricted seas in arid climates would be short. The water would completely evaporate, leaving behind a relatively thin coating of saline residue. Maintenance of inflow from the open sea provides a continuous supply of dissolved salts, and a balance is reached between evaporation and inflow for given conditions. Inevitably, the concentration of salts within the restricted area is increased and may reach the saturation point for some. 2, record 19, English, - restricted%20arid%20environment

[L']environnement restreint aride [est un des milieux marins de la sédimentation chimique. ] Dans cet environnement l'évaporation locale excède l'apport d’eau par les fleuves; exemples : Mer Rouge, Méditerranée, Kara Boughaz(dans la Caspienne). Dans ces conditions la densité des eaux de surface détermine les courants de convection. Si le seuil qui restreint le milieu est suffisamment bas, les eaux denses s’écoulent vers le large tandis que l'eau marine moins dense pénètre en surface dans le bassin : c'est le cas en Méditerranée et en Mer Rouge. Si le seuil est élevé, à faible profondeur sous la surface, il y a peu d’écoulement des eaux denses et salines vers le large, et la salinité s’accroît; c'est le cas dans le golfe de Kara Boughaz(salinité : 165 %). Dans ce milieu la surface Eh=O coïncide avec l'interface de dépôt. Cet environnement est, typiquement, celui du dépôt des «évaporites» ou dépôts salins, «stratifiés» : gypse anhydrite, halite(sel gemme), dolomite «primaire» ou syngénétique(avec éventuellement calcite), polyhalite, sylvite, etc. 1, record 19, French, - environnement%20restreint%20aride
