Podcasts about resource use

„Kommunismus“, verkündete Lenin bekanntlich, „ist Sowjetmacht plus Elektrifizierung des ganzen Landes“. Doch wer genau waren die Köpfe hinter dem Elektrifizierungsplan? Und unter welchen Prämissen arbeiteten sie? Daniela Russ und Hannah Schmidt-Ott sprechen über die sowjetische Energieplanung der 1920er-Jahre und das Verständnis von Energiewirtschaft als „komplexes Ganzes“. Es geht um die Gruppe von Ingenieuren, die mit der Entwicklung des Elektrifizierungsvorhabens betraut war, das politische Projekt, das mit ihm verfolgt wurde, seine Rückbindung an Marx'sche Theorie und die Frage, warum es für die Energetiker die Energieressourcen waren, die Geschichte machen sollten – und woran das scheiterte.Daniela Russ ist historische Soziologin und Juniorprofessorin für Global Dynamics of Resource Use and Distribution an der Universität LeipzigHannah Schmidt-Ott ist Redakteurin beim sozialwissenschaftlichen Fachforum Soziopolis und der Zeitschrift Mittelweg 36Literatur:Daniela Russ: „Energetika: Gleb Krzhizhanovskii's Conception of the Nature–Society Metabolism“, in: Historical Materialism 29, no. 2 (2021), S. 188–218.Daniela Russ: „,Socialism Is Not Just Built for a Hundred Years': Renewable Energy and Planetary Thought in the Early Soviet Union (1917–1945)“, in: Contemporary European History 31, no. 4 (November 2022), S. 491–508.Heiko Haumann: „Beginn der Planwirtschaft.

In this episode, Aaron and Jason talk about time management. As sort of a "part 2" for the previous episode, it is built around the different groups of people that we must give time to and how we can intentionally manage that well so that we control our calendars rather than our calendars controlling us.

Food companies, under ESG pressure, want more data when it comes to the impact of their supply chains.

Welcome to the Circular Metabolism Podcast. This podcast is hosted by the Chair of Circular Economy and Urban Metabolism held by Aristide Athanassiadis and Stephan Kampelmann at the Université Libre de Bruxelles. In this podcast, we talk with researchers, policy makers and different practitioners to unravel the complex aspects of what makes urban metabolisms and economies more circular.On this episode we talk with our friend Paul Currie, who is a Senior Officer in ICLEI Africa and a researcher at Stellenbosch University, about what the African context can teach us on Urban Metabolism ?In fact, as environmental challenges are so manifest, African cities can be an ideal place to learn about UM and test systemic solutions. Paul share his experience about applying UM in the African context but also about spatialising it at smaller scales in order to bring out different consumption patterns. We discuss why UM is especially relevant in Africa which is rapidly urbanising, and the choices of today will have profound future effects on resource use and pollution emissions. However, in the African context UM should focus about equity rather efficiency as it has usually done in European and American contexts.Finally, we discuss about how African cities can reconciliate experimenting fast and failing but still providing essential services to its citizens.Enjoy this episode and don’t forget to visit our website www.circularmetabolism.com for the rest of our productions.

Everyone can do their bit to get earth out of its annual overdraft.Each year scientists calculate the date where humanity has exhausted nature's budget for the year - and yesterday marked the world's average. WWF New Zealand's environmental science director Dr Aroha Spinks says it's called Earth Overshoot Day and it's arrived three weeks later than last year - a direct result of the worldwide Covid-19 lockdowns.She says the goal is to keep pushing it back - and everyone has a role to play - through cycling to work, recycling, picking up trash and growing your own veggies all help.Cate Macinnis-Ng, an environmental scientist from Auckland University, told Francesca Rudkin that the overshoot days change between countries - with New Zealand's taking place in May. "It means we're using resources a bit faster than the global average."She says that countries in hotter parts of the world tend to use their resources up much quicker, and the trend has shown that the day is happening earlier every year. "In 1970, it was the 29th of December, and now it's got earlier and earlier."She says at the moment, humans are using more the amount of air and water that would service one and a half Planet Earth's.

How can the intricate relationship between soil microbiota and plants be managed for improved plant health? Linda Kinkel discusses new insights into the plant rhizosphere and the ways that some Streptomyces isolates can protect agricultural crops against bacterial, fungal, oomycete, and nematode infections. Julie’s Biggest Takeaways: The soil microbiome is extremely dynamic, with boom-and-bust cycles driven by nutrient fluxes, microbial interactions, plant-driven microbial interactions, and signaling interactions. Finding the source of these boom-and-bust cycles can help people to manage the microbiome communities and produce plant-beneficial communities for agricultural purposes.  Rhizosphere soil is soil closely associated with the root and is distinct from rhizoplane soil that directly touches the root. The endophytic rhizosphere are those microbes that get inside the root. Many scientists view these communities as a continuum rather than sharply delineated. Plants provide necessary carbon for the largely heterotrophic soil microbiota, and these microorganisms help the plants in several ways too:  Microbes mediate plant growth by production of plant growth hormones. Microbes provide nutrients through mechanisms like nitrogen fixation or phosphorus solubilization. Microbes protect the plant from stress or drought conditions. Through a University of Minnesota plant pathology program, potatos were passaged in a field for over 2 decades to study potato diseases. Over time, researchers found fewer diseases in test crops, which led the plot to be abandoned in the late 1970s. In the 1980s, Dr. Neil Anderson planted potatoes to see if they would develop disease, but neither Verticillium wilt nor potato scab developed among the plants. Soil from the field (and on the potatoes) contained Streptomyces isolates that showed antimicrobial activity against bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and oomycetes. This discovery led Neil, new University of Minnesota professor Linda, and their collaborators to study the antimicrobial activity of natural Streptomyces isolates from around the world. Inoculation quickly adds specific microbial lineages to soil microbiome communities. Alternatively, land can be managed by providing nutrients to encourage the growth of specific species, like Streptomyces, within a given plot, but this takes longer to develop. How are soil microbiomes inoculated? Microbes can be: Added to the seed coating before planting.  Placed in the furrow when the seed is planted. Distributed into the irrigation system.

Background: Management of community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) places a considerable burden on hospital resources. REACH was a retrospective, observational study (NCT01293435) involving adults >= 18 years old hospitalized with CAP and requiring in-hospital treatment with intravenous antibiotics conducted to collect data on current clinical management patterns and resource use for CAP in hospitals in ten European countries. Methods: Data were collected via electronic Case Report Forms detailing patient and disease characteristics, microbiological diagnosis, treatments before and during hospitalization, clinical outcomes and health resource consumption. Results: Patients with initial antibiotic treatment modification (n = 589; 28.9%) had a longer mean hospital stay than those without (16.1 [SD: 13.1; median 12.0] versus 11.1 {SD: 8.9; median: 9.0] days) and higher ICU admission rate (18.0% versus 11.9%). Septic shock (6.8% versus 3.0%), mechanical ventilation (22.2% versus 9.7%), blood pressure support (fluid resuscitation: 19.4% versus 11.4%), parenteral nutrition (6.5% versus 3.9%) and renal replacement therapy (4.2% versus 1.4%) were all more common in patients with treatment modification than in those without. Hospital stay was longer in patients with comorbidities than in those without (mean 13.3 [SD: 11.1; median: 10.0] versus 10.0 [SD: 7.5; median: 8.0] days). Conclusions: Initial antibiotic treatment modification in patients with CAP is common and is associated with considerable additional resource use. Reassessment of optimal management paradigms for patients hospitalized with CAP may be warranted.

Exposing a phenomenon overlooked by many historians, Carson Fellow Donald Worster explains the importance of New World resources on Western European society in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Worster details the role that gold, silver, fish, lumber, and cotton had on the imagination and thought processes of Europeans in this time period. Donald Worster is an American environmental historian and is the Hall Distinguished Professor of American History at the University of Kansas, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1989.

Carson Fellow and environmental historian Donald Worster argues that the discovery of the “New World” in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries was the most important event in modern history. These explorations gave Western society a wealth of natural resources that has never since been duplicated. Based around the controversy of the 1970s global bestseller, Limits to Growth, Worster examines the implications of the discovery of the New World and how society has transformed from one of natural abundance to one that is faced with scarcity. Donald Worster is the Hall Distinguished Professor of American History at the University of Kansas, where he has been a member of the faculty since 1989.

Carson Fellow and Director of the Global Diversity Foundation Gary Martin examines the cultural implications of conservation designation (i.e. the system of preserving certain areas of land in national park, or related, structures from outside development). Martin explains how protected areas shape the livelihoods of those who live “next door”; he also considers the way that such structures impact both biological and cultural diversity. Gary Martin is an ethno-ecologist who focuses on the inextricable links between biological and cultural diversity and the role of communities in maintaining socio-ecological resilience. Since 1998, he has been a research fellow and lecturer at the School of Anthropology and Conservation at the University of Kent in Canterbury, UK and in 2000 he founded the Global Diversity Foundation (GDF).
