Factor Five : Transforming the Global Economy through 80% Improvements in Resource Productivity

The 21st century will see monumental change. Either the human race will use its knowledge and skills and change the way it interacts with the environment, or the environment will change the way it interacts with its inhabitants. In the first case, the focus of this book, we would see our sophisticated understanding in areas such as physics, chemistry, engineering, biology, planning, commerce, business and governance accumulated over the last 1,000 years brought to bear on the challenge of dramatically reducing our pressure on the environment. The second case however is the opposite scenario, involving the decline of the planet’s ecosystems until they reach thresholds where recovery is not possible, and following which we have no idea what happens. For instance, if we fail to respond to Sir Nicolas Stern’s call to meet appropriate stabilisation trajectories for greenhouse gas emissions, and we allow the average temperature of our planets surface to increase by 4-6 degrees Celsius, we will see staggering changes to our environment, including rapidly rising sea level, withering crops, diminishing water reserves, drought, cyclones, floods… allowing this to happen will be the failure of our species, and those that survive will have a deadly legacy. In this update to the 1997 International Best Seller, Factor Four, Ernst von Weizsäcker again leads a team to present a compelling case for sector wide advances that can deliver significant resource productivity improvements over the coming century. The purpose of this book is to inspire hope and to then inform meaningful action in the coming decades to respond to the greatest challenge our species has ever faced – that of living in harmony with our planet and its other inhabitants.

Coordination polymers and hybrid networks of different dimensionalities formed by metal sulfites

In our effort to explore the use of the sulfite ion to design hybrid and open-framework materials, we have been able to prepare, under hydrothermal conditions, zero-dimensional [Zn(C12H8N2)(SO3)]center dot 2H(2)O, I (a = 7.5737(5) angstrom, b = 10.3969(6) angstrom, c = 10.3986(6) angstrom, alpha = 64.172(1)degrees, beta = 69.395(1)degrees, gamma = 79.333(1)degrees, Z = 2, and space group P (1) over bar), one-dimensional [Zn-2(C12H8N2)(SO3)(2)(H2O)], II (a = 8.0247(3) angstrom, b = 9.4962(3) angstrom, c = 10.2740(2) A, alpha = 81.070(1)degrees, beta = 80.438(1)degrees, gamma = 75.66(5)degrees, Z = 2, and space group P (1) over bar), two-dimensional [Zn-2(C10H8N2)(SO3)(2)]center dot H2O, III (a = 16.6062(1) angstrom, b = 4.7935(1) angstrom, c = 19.2721(5) angstrom, beta = 100.674(2)degrees, Z = 4, and space group C2/c), and three-dimensional [Zn-4(C6H12N2)(SO3)(4)(H2O)(4)], IV (a = 11.0793(3) angstrom, c = 8.8246(3) angstrom, Z = 2, and space group P42nm), of which the last three are coordination polymers. A hybrid open-framework sulfite-sulfate of the composition [C2H10N2][Nd(SO3)(SO4)(H2O)](2), V (a = 9.0880(3) angstrom, b = 6.9429(2) angstrom, c = 13.0805(5) A, beta = 91.551(2)degrees, Z = 2, and space group P2(1)/c), with a layered structure containing metal-oxygen-metal bonds has also been described.

Effect of 80 kDa protein of porcine follicular fluid on gonadotropin stimulated progesterone production in rat granulosa cells in vitro

We reported the presence of a 80 kDa polypeptide in porcine follicular fluid that inhibited the binding of 125I-radiolabelled hFSH as well as hCG to the rat ovarian gonadotropin receptors. In the present study, the biological activity of the receptor binding inhibitor is determined using an in vitro bioassay procedure. Granulosa cells isolated from PMSG primed immature rat ovaries respond to exogenously added gonadotropins in terms of progesterone production. Addition of fractions containing the gonadotropin receptor binding inhibitory activity inhibited progesterone production stimulated by the gonadotropins in a dose-dependent fashion. The receptor binding inhibitory activity was also capable of inhibiting progesterone production stimulated by PMSG, which has both FSH- and LH-like activities in rats. In contrast, progesterone production stimulated by dbcAMP was not inhibited by the receptor binding inhibitor. This result indicates that the site of action of the inhibitor is proximal to the formation of the cAMP. The above observations point out to a possible role for this factor in modulating gonadotropin activity at the ovarian level.

Resumen: El Congreso Eucarístico Internacional de 1934 marcó un antes y un después en la Iglesia argentina. Al celebrar sus ochenta años es importante recordar algunas de las consideraciones canónicas que se tuvieron en cuenta para su realización, así como las consecuencias pastorales que tuvo en la Iglesia argentina.
