The availability of high genetic diversity is fundamental for any crop improvement program for use by the plant breeders. This study presents economic valuation of Coffea arabica in terms of pest and disease resistance, increased productivity /yield, drought tolerance or climate change resilience, low caffeine content and higher cup quality. The wild Coffea arabica embedded in the natural forest has a wide range of benefits, including cultivated coffee genetic enhancement, provision of ecological services as well as an intrinsic value. This economic assessment estimated the values of Coffea arabica biodiversity in term of coffee genetic enhancement for increased yield, increased pest and disease resistance, low caffeine, high cup quality, drought and climate change resilience, and GHG reduction using indirect market-based of revealed preference techniques. Our assessment revealed enormous potential of Ethiopia’s Arabica coffee biodiversity to improve and sustainably produce coffee globally and in the country. If Ethiopia exploits its coffee genetic resources potential for coffee production in the country, it gets an additional benefit of USD 2.37-5.84 billion per year. Besides, if coffee producing countries use the genetic resources in Ethiopia to solve their coffee production problems, there is a potential economic benefit of USD7.6-8.1 billion per year. If users of these genetic resources are willing to pay 5% of their gain in economic benefit from the accessed Ethiopian coffee genetic resources to Ethiopia, the country can get additional income of about USD380-403 million per year.","PeriodicalId":417186,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Earth and Environmental Sciences Research","volume":"9 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140413987","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The magnetic biochar was synthesized by pyrolyzing paper mill sludge at 350 ℃ and modified with iron oxide nanoparticles to enhance its magnetic properties. The adsorption capacity of the magnetic biochar was evaluated using methylene blue (MB) dye in wastewater. In present study the fixed bed column adsorption was conducted using MBC to treat MB wastewater. A fixed bed column setup was utilized in the experiments, maintaining a continuous flow rate of 15 mL/min at various bed height (i.e. 2.5, 5 & 7cm).

{"title":"Broadening Consequentialism for Environmental and Medical Ethics","authors":"Robin Attfield","doi":"10.47363/jeesr/2023(5)204","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.47363/jeesr/2023(5)204","url":null,"abstract":"Utilitarianism has the strength of taking into account all the foreseeable consequences of actions, but the weakness of heeding only their impacts on subjective states such as happiness and unhappiness. This omits many impacts of positive and negative value for human beings, let alone non-humans. Thus it fails to take into account the value of people’s lives developing in accordance with their autonomous wishes, one of the emphases of modern medical ethics. John Stuart Mill wrote as if autonomy and happiness co-incided, people being the best judges of where their happiness lies. But there is no guarantee of this coincidence. The omission of autonomy also points to the omission within utilitarianism of the value of the fulfilment of people’s capacities, insofar as these are central to their humanity. Ignoring the value of fulfilled capacities suggests that people are living well if their lives are pleasant but many central capacities are underdeveloped, whether through lack of education, of encouragement, or of love and care. Nor should subjective states be prioritised as favoured by utilitarianism, for happiness is compatible with a stunted life, and unhappiness with one fulfilled in most but not all respects. Thus a broader value-theory is needed than that of utilitarianism, including the fulfilment of capacities central to one’s inherited nature. This brings in the flourishing of non-human creatures as well as of humans. The capacity of captured wild animals to function in the wild is, on this basis, of significant value, even if the fulfilment of reflective capacities has greater value. Moral standing should be seen as attaching to whatever has a good of its own, and thus of whatever is alive [1]. The range of ethical concern extends to future creatures, as well as current ones, and all the foreseeable impacts of current actions and policies should be taken into account when decisions are being made. This already helps show how consequentialism may comprise an acceptable environmental ethic. Some philosophers, however, maintain that wholes such as ecosystems and species are valuable and are not yet taken into account. However, both ecosystems and species can be understood as composed of their living members, present and future, and the good of all of these in recognised by the broadened consequentialism just presented. Ecosystems also include non-living components, but there is no need (or point) in ascribing intrinsic value to these. Ecosystems, including their non-living components, are of great importance, but their importance is instrumental to the lives and the flourishing of their living members. As ecosystems, they lack a good of their own, partly because they have no clear boundaries and criteria of identity, and partly because they lack inherited capacities by reference to which their good could be appraised. Species, understood as populations, include both their present and future members, the flourishing of all of which counts withi","PeriodicalId":417186,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Earth and Environmental Sciences Research","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139198311","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To ensure its availability we seek out energy sources of every type real and imaginable. Its presence in every aspect of our lives gives us the illusion that we understand what it is. Yet every branch of science has a different description of energy that is suitable in its own area of expertise, but is not applicable in general. It may come as a surprise then that energy has properties of its own, verifiable by experiment, that are universal and extend throughout all of Nature from the tiniest particles to the heavenly bodies and life itself. When we explore the universal properties of energy we will find that they are embodied most intensely in the phenomenon of life.

Although geotextiles made of synthetic fibers (geosynthetics) are considered a modern achievement, the basic concept dates back to ancient times when textiles consisting of locally available natural fibers were employed to increase the stability of roads and soils. In recent decades, considering the growing interest in environmental protection and sustainable development based on using renewable resources and the recovery and recycling of waste of various origins, the use of natural fibers-based geotextiles is a viable alternative, despite their limited-life service owing to their biodegradability. In addition to this feature, their low cost, good mechanical properties and large-scale accessibility recommend them for geo-engineering applications, environmental sensitive applications in geotechnical engineering, such as land improvements and soil erosion control. This paper focuses on geotextiles as a versatile tool in environmental applications given their high theoretic and practical relevance as substantiated by recent literature reports. Natural and synthetic geotextiles are presented herein, as well as their features that recommend them for geo-engineering. Insights on the main types of applications of geotextiles are also included, along with a wide variety of materials employed to perform specific functions.","PeriodicalId":417186,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Earth and Environmental Sciences Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128938480","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
