Urbanization poses significant challenges to environmental sustainability, necessitating effective legal frameworks to balance developmental needs with resource conservation. This research aims to investigate the impact of zoning regulations on sustainable urban development, focusing on their effectiveness in promoting environmental conservation. The study will analyze case studies from different urban centers, examining the legal mechanisms in place, their enforcement, and their outcomes in terms of environmental protection. Key aspects to be explored include land use planning, waste management, and green space preservation and use of renewable energy within urban areas. The research will assess the strengths and weaknesses of existing legal frameworks and propose recommendations for enhancing the integration of environmental considerations into urban development policies.

Ethics are codes of conduct regulating an individual or a profession. Ethical issues that occur from time to time are often complicated, multidimensional and do not have definite solutions at all times. The areas in which clinical psychologists face ethical and legal challenges today include professional competence, informed consent, confidentiality, boundary issues, psychometry, e-therapy, termination, documentation, research ethics and forensic participation. To enhance ethical behaviour, a system needs to be developed by which therapists can be held answerable for their actions. They must have knowledge of ethical guidelines and incorporate it into routine practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: In Seychelles, the common myna has been shown to have a negative impact on endangered endemic birds on Denis Island, interfering with breeding attempts and attacking adult endemic birds at their nests. This stimulated an attempt to eradicate the island's mynas., Results: The eradication was undertaken in three phases, overall killing 1186 mynas and lasting 5 years. Decoy trapping was the most effective method for catching mynas, but the last birds were shot. Decoy trapping was compromised by catches of non-target species. Data collection from killed birds indicated that trapping did not favour either sex, and that most breeding occurred during the wetter season, November to March., Conclusions: Eradication of mynas from small tropical islands is feasible. The Denis Island eradication was prolonged by difficulties in management and staffing. Using volunteers, the cost of the eradication was similar to that of eradicating rodents from the island. In future eradication attempts in Seychelles, possible food stress during the drier season (May to September) might facilitate trapping at this time. Habitat management, especially the removal of short mown grass, could enhance eradication progress. Continued monitoring is needed to confirm eradication and detect any immigration, and also to record responses in the endemic birds. © 2016 Society of Chemical Industry., (© 2016 Society of Chemical Industry.)
