The demand for energy is increasing day by day worldwide due to population growth, industrialization and rising living standards. Geothermal energy, one of the alternative energy sources, is preferred in terms of providing environmentally friendly, quality and regular energy. Our country is rich in geothermal resource potential. However, there are still many unexplored geothermal resources. In this study, fuzzy-AHP method was used to determine the geothermal potential of Ağrı province.

In the recent decates, wastewater treatment has attracted the attention of scientists due to health and environmental issues that pollutants can cause. One of the leading sources of water pollutions is without doubt industrial activities. Every day, huge amounts of industrial wastewater are discharged into water body, and this severely affects not only the health of all living forms but also the quality of the whole ecosystem.

Legumes are well recognized for their nutritional and health benefits as well as for their impact in the sustainability of agricultural systems. The threatening scenario imposed by climate change highlights the need for concerted research approaches in order to develop crops that are able to cope with environmental stresses, while increasing yield and quality. During the last decade, some physiological components and molecular players underlying abiotic stress responses of a broad range of legume species have been elucidated.

Improving cultivability of a wider range of bacterial and archaeal community members, living natively in natural environments and within plants, is a prerequisite to better understanding plant-microbiota interactions and their functions in such very complex systems. Sequencing, assembling, and annotation of pure microbial strain genomes provide higher quality data compared to environmental metagenome analyses, and can substantially improve gene and protein database information.

For towns and cities to be economically competitive, socially progressive and environmentally responsible, they must reduce their inefficient use of finite resources. CABE believes every place can become better by: Understanding and nurturing its unique qualities as the basis of its response to a changing climate Each town and city is different, shaped by the geography of the place itself, the passage of time and the people who live there. The best solutions for one place may not suit another.

This inter-departmental report provides a broad range of indicators relevant to New Zealand’s economic performance. It has been prepared in order to inform economic debate and policy making. A growing, open, and competitive economy is a key means of delivering permanently higher incomes and living standards to New Zealanders. Without higher economic growth, the economy will not deliver higher living standards or the quality of life to which New Zealanders aspire.

Organic farming is a modern way of agriculture management, not using any chemical treatments which have negative effects on the environment, human health or animal health. It produces organic foodstuffs, and at the same time enhances the living conditions of animals. It contributes to environmental protection and helps biodiversity to increase. Organic farming does not mean going ‘back’ to traditional (old) methods of farming. Many of the farming methods used in the past are still useful today. Organic farming takes the best of these and combines them with modern scientific knowledge.

Environmental pollution has played a critical role in human lives since the early history of the nomadic tribes. During the last millennium, industrial revolution, increased population growth and urbanization have been the major determinants in shaping our environmental quality. Initially primary air pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and particulate matter were of concern. For example, the killer fog of London in 1952 resulted in significant numbers of human fatality leading to major air pollution control measures....

Air pollution is one of the most serious environmental threats to urban populations (Cohen 2005). Exposures vary among and within urban areas, but all people living in cities are exposed, and many are harmed, by current levels of pollutants in many large cities. Infants, young children, seniors and people who have lung and heart conditions are especially affected, but even young, healthy adults are not immune to harm from poor air quality.

One of the most widespread and serious classes of water quality contaminants, especially in areas where access to safe, clean water is limited, is pathogenic organisms: bacteria, protozoa, and viruses. These organisms pose one of the leading global human health hazards. The greatest risk of microbial contamination comes from consuming water contaminated with pathogens from human or animal feces (Carr and Neary 2008).

International migrants from developing countries are of both rural and urban origin (ratios vary from country to country and change over time according to socio-economic conditions in both sending and receiving areas). However, we will focus on the rural factors that motivate vast sectors of the population to consider migration in order to improve their lives and diversify their sources of income. During the last 50 years, 800 million people have migrated from rural to urban areas, and it is expected that these migrations will continue to increase.

Cervical cancer, caused by sexually-acquired infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), continues to be a public health problem worldwide as it claims the lives of more than 270,000 women every year. In high-income countries early diagnosis and treatment of precancerous lesions has led to a significant reduction in the burden of disease. Because of poor access to high quality screening and treatment services the majority of cervical cancer deaths (85%) occur in women living in low- and middle-income countries.
