Environmental factors like air, water, clime, nature, or land can push space to show how it is a complex phenomenon as a society can produce or transform spaces to meet their demands in response to unexpected happenings. Societies driven by environmental, climate, or exterior forces could re-produce new spaces or return to the previous spaces when these forces disappear. Even though people are recently recovering from the global pandemic, scientists believe that the climate crisis will be the next external force waiting for humanity. This paper examines how people react and respond to unexpected exterior forces and happenings when designing their urban life or architecture. As climatic change is expected as the ensuing global force after the pandemic, this paper takes the 16th-19th century Great Frost of London as an example to research urban and architectural assembly instead of this unexpected happening. It discovers that numerous visual documents are recorded that Londoners transformed the Thames River into Thames Frost Fair, and it disappeared when the frost was gone. However, all souvenirs and ephemeral documents as the memory of Frost Fairs still exist. As Lefebvre believes that every society produces its own space, this study aims to reveal that design is only sometimes planned; it sometimes happens even under difficult and impermanent circumstances, depending on the society. Furthermore, it discovers that the term ephemera is not limited by these documents in the case of Frost Fair as architecture and urban space can be ephemera themselves since space was the fundamental source of those, as mentioned earlier ephemeral memorial document.

This paper addresses what I consider to be the world's main problems, although I recognise that there are also other problems at present, such as inflation and the war in Ukraine. I will try to address the main problems, which are of interest to CIRIEC, which is an international organisation that pays particular attention to what is called the Third Sector" or "Social Economy", an area that lies between the private business sector and the government despite I am not, I must admit, an expert in this last field. I will deal with it in the context of discussing a couple of problems we face in the world that I think are really important. The first problem is economic inequality, which I know something about. The second problem is climate change and environmental problems, which I think are the most important. I will also refer at the end to some problems related to the COVID pandemic. In all the problems, what we could call the Third Sector can play a big role. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the paleoenvironmental reconstruction of a mire sequence near the village Blatuša, with a focus on changes in vegetation composition, hydrological regime and fire history of the Banovina/Kordun area during the last two millennia. For this purpose, pollen, non-pollen and charcoal analysis were done. By the application of CONISS statistical analysis three different pollen assemblage (sub)zones could have been distinguished: a dominance of alder-beech/oaks from the 2nd to the middle of the 7th century, followed by a prevalence of grasses-beech/oaks till the end of the 13th century. Finally, an assemblage of grasses-hornbeam/oaks populated the area from the 14th to the beginning of the 20th century. The high abundance of peat mosses (sphagnum) from the 11th to the end of the 14th century must indicate increased precipitation and higher frequencies of rainfall during the Medieval Climate Anomaly. Transition from an ombrotrophic to minerotrophic phase of mire evolution during the Little Ice Age is caused by changing in moisture level, with somewhat wetter period prevailing till the middle of the 17th century followed by drier conditions till the beginning of the 20th century. Although cereal pollen grains first appear from the layers dated to the late 14th century and the proportion of secondary anthropogenic indicators were low during the entire Middle Ages, a large number of charcoal particles suggests stronger anthropogenic activity than indicated by observed changes in vegetation composition. Still, a sharp rise of non-arboreal pollen during the Migration period most likely reflect a general natural succession process on mire surface than persuable proof of Avaric-Slavic impact on vegetation. Direct anthropogenic pressure indicated by weeds and cereal pollen can be tracked from the Late Middle Ages onwards. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The disputes about the climate change are about the future. This paper distinguishes between different discourses on climate change taht correspond to different ways of imagining the future. These differences correspond to alternative ways of conceiving the formal and practicalcognitive dimensions of future horizons. Given the relevance of social struggels over climate change and the confrontation of different imaginary futures, it concludes that, away from the diagnosis of the presentification, we find ourselves in a situation where a contested futurization dominates.

Introduction: Climate change and the resulting vulnerability has been emphasized in developing nations increasingly. Regarding the vulnerable situation of Iran, this phenomenon may cause more adverse effects. There is a great divergence among the Iranian provinces in terms of their ability and capability to cope with the climate change effects, needing for more deeply investigation. Aim: The objective of this study is to measure the vulnerability of the Iranian provinces and to examine their readiness to cope with the damages. Materials and Methods: Vulnerability measurement includes measuring three components of exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. Different variables were used to measure these components. The compatibility index was measured by subtracting the vulnerability score from the readiness score for each province. The most recent data was applied to calculate the indices. Findings: The results showed that all provinces, to some extent, are vulnerable to climate change and there is an insignificant difference among them in terms of vulnerability; however, they may be clearly distinguished in terms of their readiness. Boushehr, Charmahal and Bakhtiari and Alborz were found to be more vulnerable with scores ranging from 0.55 to 0.65 while Ilam, Isfahan and Qazvin with scores of 0.35-0.45 were classified as provinces with lowest vulnerability. Based on the readiness scores, Tehran ranked as the first one with score of 0.84 while the corresponding value for other provinces were obtained less than 0.45. The final score or compatibility index of Tehran was obtained 0.65 followed by Semnan, Qazvin and Isfahan with corresponding values of 0.45-0.48. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cowpea (V. unguiculata (L.) Walp) is a legume crop from Fabaceae family. Cowpea is a multipurpose crop. Green pods and leaves are used as vegetables, while several snacks and main meal dishes are prepared from the dry grain. Cowpea fixes atmospheric nitrogen through symbiosis with nodule bacteria (Bradyrhizobium spp.). During the last several years with global climatic changes with less quantity of rainfall and higher temperature cowpea represented bigger interest as for research or for farmers’ growing under dry conditions. However, cowpea is not largely known in our country. Cowpea is traditionally grown in home gardens and in small farms of southeast and southern parts of Bulgaria. The purpose of this study was to characterize 25 accessions with different geographical origin, under agro-climatic conditions of Sadovo. A total of 17 quantitative and qualitative traits were collected during vegetation and postharvest period. As a result of these study genotypes with high-yield potential, early maturity and medium to big seed size were identified. Genotypes with cat. №ВОЕ0035, A9E1073 and А8Е0553 matured for a short cycle and were considered as the earliest accessions. Plant height of studied germplasm subset ranged between 41.6 and 140 cm; number of pods per plant were from 5.2 to 20.8; weight of seeds per plant varied from 5.0g to 25.0g. The results of this research will be the base towards more efficient germplasm management in order to use cowpea collection as a source for the genetic improvement and breeding.

Low winter temperatures have a negative impact on the vitality of the tree, the quantity and quality of the harvest, therefore it was necessary to investigate the cold hardiness of fruit tree cultivars. The selection of cultivars with good cold hardiness has a great economic and social effect against the background of changing climatic conditions. The purpose of this studied was to determine the level of cold resistance during the winter months of the plum cultivars grown in the area, for their more optimal microzoning. A climatic characterization of the cold months in the area for the last 10 years was made. In the winter of 2022-2023, climatic indicators were observed: precipitation (mm), average, minimum and maximum daily air temperature, and the cold resistance of plums cultivars Jojo, Top, Black Diamond, Anna Shpet and Stanley was studied under soil and climatic conditions of Kyustendil region. The level of sensitivity to low winter temperatures was determined under controlled (laboratory) conditions. Freezing was carried out three times – in the middle of the months of December, January and February. The following options were set: 1st variant -15ºС; 2nd variant -20ºС; 3rd variant -25ºС and control (untreated). Weather conditions significantly affected the cold resistance of the fruit buds of the cultivars. The most significant damages were observed in February, and the best cold resistance was in January. Cultivar Anna Shpet showed the highest general resistance, and the most sensitive to low winter temperatures was Jojo. In recent years, cultivar Top has gained more and more popularity and has been of interest to growers. It showed very high resistance and was suitable for habitats with low winter temperatures.
