Directions of development of universal human right to a healthy environment by Nikolić Dušan Ž.

“…It stated that the provisions of the directives related to air quality must be interpreted in the sense that they do not aim to give individuals the right to seek compensation from the member state for loss and damage caused by the state's violation of EU law, but that it does not excludes the possibility of an individual claiming compensation from the state on the basis of national law. During the past half century, about 150 countries around the world have constitutionalized the right to a healthy environment. …”

Theoretical Calculations of Directional Scattering Intensities of Small Nonspherical Ice Crystals: Implications for Forward Scattering Probes by Seonghyeon Jang, Jeonggyu Kim, Greg M. McFarquhar, Sungmin Park, Seoung Soo Lee, Chang Hoon Jung, Sang Seo Park, Joo Wan Cha, Kyoungmi Lee, Junshik Um

“…In situ aircraft measurements of the sizes and concentrations of liquid cloud droplets and ice crystals with maximum dimensions (<i>D_max</i>) less than ~50 μm have been measured mainly using forward scattering probes over the past half century. The operating principle of forward scattering probes is that the measured intensity of light scattered by a cloud particle at specific forward scattering angles can be related to the size of that particle assuming the shape and thermodynamic phase of the target are known. …”

Geochemistry of Coastal Permafrost and Erosion-Driven Organic Matter Fluxes to the Beaufort Sea Near Drew Point, Alaska by Emily M. Bristol, Craig T. Connolly, Thomas D. Lorenson, Bruce M. Richmond, Anastasia G. Ilgen, R. Charles Choens, Diana L. Bull, Mikhail Kanevskiy, Go Iwahana, Benjamin M. Jones, James W. McClelland

“…Erosional fluxes of TOC averaged 1,369 kg C m−1 year−1 during the 21st century (2002–2018), nearly doubling the average flux of the previous half-century (1955–2002). Our estimate of the 21st century erosional TOC flux year−1 from this 9 km coastline (12,318 metric tons C year−1) is similar to the annual TOC flux from the Kuparuk River, which drains a 8,107 km2 area east of Drew Point and ranks as the third largest river on the North Slope of Alaska. …”

Changing Molecular Epidemiology of <named-content content-type="genus-species">Vibrio cholerae</named-content> Outbreaks in Shanghai, China by Dalong Hu, Zhiqiu Yin, Chao Yuan, Pan Yang, Chengqian Qian, Yi Wei, Si Zhang, Yuhui Wang, Jian Yuan, Meng Wang, Peter R. Reeves, Lihong Tu, Min Chen, Di Huang, Bin Liu

“…Here, we applied whole-genome sequencing to analyze a long-term collection of V. cholerae clinical strains to reveal the phylogenetic background and evolutionary dynamics of the 7th pandemic in Shanghai, which had undergone breathtakingly rapid development in the last half-century. All but one of the Shanghai 7th-pandemic strains fell into five “stages” that were dominant in Shanghai and appeared to be closely related to 7th-pandemic strains of South or Southeast Asia. …”
