Overall Conclusions. This analysis of the existing scientific knowledge and knowledge gaps relating to reducing or eliminating the use of copper for crop protection allows us to draw several important conclusions. Although most of the available studies on this topic place an emphasis on organic agriculture – which is more strongly affected by restrictions on the use of copper and thus is more actively searching for alternatives – the lessons of this expertise apply equally to other modes of agricultural production. The national Ecophyto plan, for example, offers one suitable framework for applying this type of objective to conventional agriculture. Thus, in some cases, alternatives to copper could benefit from the system of “certificates for reduced use of crop protection products” (Certificats d’économie de produits phytosanitaires), intended to provide a financial incentive and increased visibility for farmers’ efforts to reduce their use of crop protection inputs. Initial queries of the Web of Science returned thousands of scientific references relating to alternatives to the use of copper treatments. Refining and targeting the search query resulted in a final corpus of nearly 900 scientific citations and technical documents. This abundance of scientific and technical publications suggests that academic and applied research to find alternatives to the massive use of copper is widespread and ongoing. The results from this research are potentially transposable or generalizable to other pesticides targeting the same pathogens. It should be noted, however, that a majority of this research relates to the characterization of individual levers or practices (as opposed to combined effects or performance within production systems). These levers are thus understood primarily as substitutes for chemical treatments, while research to design, verify, and evaluate integrated protection systems based on multiple criteria remains all too rare. Most research adopts a logic of substitution (replacing copper with an alternative product or practice) rather than a fundamental re-conception of crop production and protection systems. This ESCo produced a complete inventory of available alternatives that may be considered as substitutes for copper, assembling all the existing data on their levels of observed effectiveness. In doing so, it underscores both the potential and the current limitations of these alternative methods, which can be divided into three broad groups: • The use of microbial bio...
Overall Conclusions. This will attempt to synthesise the practical and theoretical lessons learned from the foregoing to show that the basic concept of the aircraft operating lease is intact but that, given the number of courts which may, rightly or wrongly, apply any number of legal provisions which override the provisions of the lease, we are dealing here more with art than with science. Certain recommendations will also be made.846 It is essential, in this author’s view, that practitioners understand aircraft operating leases, and the issues associated therewith, not only in the context of practice but also in the context of relevant legislation and case law and, above all, in the overall context of public and private international air law. Further, relevant provisions of public and private international law have been shown to be available to practitioners, and possibly of aid to their client’s legal position, if only they are aware of them. In particular, the provisions of the Cape Town Convention on events of default and remedies come to mind. Certain problems for practitioners in the field of the aircraft operating lease arising from certain provisions of, or lacunae in, public and private international air law have been identified examined and certain proposals are made in 4.2 infra in respect thereof by way of remedy. Before then, it is worthwhile here to review the principal parts of the aircraft operating lease in light of the research and analysis set out in Part 3 supra. Dividing the lease in the same manner as in 2.6 supra, the following broad conclusions can be drawn: This covers the parties, recitals, definitions, representations and warranties, and conditions precedent.847 These generally reveal any do not any tension between the practice and law of aircraft leasing and are generally not the focus of the public or private air law and other instruments but are still influenced by and reflective of them. Perhaps this is not surprising, as, at this point, the aircraft has not yet been tendered for delivery to the airline, and thus legal disputes are less likely. Further, rights of third parties are not yet involved. For example, the parties to the transaction will be determined by reference, inter alia, to applicable double tax treaties, and options regarding state of registration of the aircraft. 846 Vide 4.2 infra. 847 Vide 2.6.1-2.6.5 supra. Likewise, the conditions precedent listed, showing which licenses and approvals the lessee must have in place, will refle...
Overall Conclusions. This was the first project in Alberta to investigate the use of potash as a possible control product for invasive mussels if they should become established in the province’s irrigation infrastructure. The ability of potash (i.e., K+) to kill mussels had already demonstrated by others, and the focus of this project was on the logistics of using potash primarily to treat irrigation pipelines. The project had four main objectives, which were all met.
4.1 Objective 1
Overall Conclusions. The paper concludes by arguing the significance of well-being and self-control factors of trait emotional intelligence on teachers’ job satisfaction levels. The examination of the inter- factor correlations revealed a strong positive correlation between Self-Efficacy (Classroom management) and Self-Efficacy (Instructional strategies) factors, which seem consistent with previous research. In addition, another significant finding was the correlations between teacher Self-efficacy (Classroom management; Instructional strategies) and both teacher Well-being and Job satisfaction levels. The substantive finding to emerge from this study is that it seemed that Well-being, Self-control, Self-efficacy (Instructional Strategies), Self-efficacy (Classroom Management), and Job satisfaction factors, perhaps reflective of the cultural context, might best capture the experiences of teachers in the context of Kazakhstan. Though this is not conclusive, further large-scale studies in the context of Kazakhstan and Central Asia need to verify this speculative claim. References ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇., & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, R. (2018).

Overall Conclusions. 9.1 The design of the proposed road has been optimised to minimise the extent and magnitude of environmental impacts, particularly minimisation of marine habitat loss and seabed disturbance. Thus, the proposed Tuen Mun – Chek Lap Kok Link represents the best available environmental option which also meets the fundamental engineering and other constraints.
9.2 Where the implementation of the new road alignment will result in some potential impacts, a comprehensive range of mitigation measures has been recommended to reduce these impacts to acceptable levels along with the environmental management regime detailed in the Environmental Monitoring and Audit Manual.
9.3 With the adoption of these mitigation measures, the Project will not result in any unacceptable residual environmental impacts within the overall scope and benefits of the Project.
Overall Conclusions. This review elicited a number of issues, which all revolved around two partnerships between Governmental Entities and YMCA. Although the two partnerships had different objectives, both were intended to converge and ultimately alleviate the social problem of homelessness.
Overall Conclusions. This study assessed the relationship between women‟s agency, expressed as decision making and freedom of movement, and women‟s use of a “modern” contraceptive method at time of survey. Our systematic review of the literature generally revealed inconsistent relationships between this exposure and outcome, with a stronger positive relationship for freedom of movement among the positive associations. While these results challenge the current approach to conceptualizing empowerment, they are also encouraging. The majority of studies (83%) found at least one positive association, which speaks to the impact of women‟s agency on current contraceptive use. These findings have broad implications for policy and future research. It is clear that by empowering women, particularly through an increase in their freedom of movement, there is potential to increase contraceptive uptake and adherence. These results also encourage family planning programs to consider women‟s agency, within the country context, as a key foundational component of outreach. For future research, we recommend a consensus in the academic community around empowerment, including its definition, application and operationalization. By using a standardized approach, researchers and policy makers can better assess the effect of empowerment, and particularly agency, on reproductive health outcomes. More specifically, our review revealed widespread inconsistencies in defining and operationalizing agency are widespread. While the authors of all twelve studies were assessing either decision making, freedom of movement, or both, they used variable language to describe these items. 50% of authors used “autonomy” as a blanket term to describe their measures for agency; whereas, 33% used “empowerment” to describe similar measures. Other terms included “domestic decision making power” and “household position”. Although this review sought to assess agency, none of the authors used “agency” to describe decision making and/or freedom of movement, a departure from ▇▇▇▇▇▇‟s (1999) aforementioned framework of empowerment. By using the terms “autonomy” or “empowerment” to describe influence in decision making and/or freedom of movement, the authors use overarching terminology to describe agency, as opposed to more specific wording. This inconsistency in verbiage leads to confusion about both empowerment and agency‟s place in the framework. Generally, the relationship between agency and contraceptive use at time of surve...
