Kathryn Berg Oral History Interview
No full textKathryn Berg, a lifelong resident of rural Utah, shares her experiences growing up in and returning to Heber City, focusing on the community\u27s evolution. She reflects on Heber\u27s past as a significant sheep-shipping and agricultural hub, emphasizing the strong sense of community and close relationships that characterized her youth, where everyone knew and looked out for each other. Berg discusses her extensive career as an athletics coach and director, highlighting the challenges and progress of women\u27s sports. She expresses concern about the rapid growth and development in Heber, which she believes has eroded the town\u27s original character, strained infrastructure, and made housing unaffordable for many long-time residents and essential workers. Despite these challenges, Berg remains optimistic about Heber\u27s future, hoping the community can unite to preserve its heritage and foster connections while balancing growth with maintaining its unique identity and natural beauty
Totalitarianism and geography: L.S. Berg and the defence of an academic discipline in the age of Stalin
No full textIn considering the complex relationship between science and politics, the article focuses upon the career of the eminent Russian scholar, Lev Semenovich Berg (1876–1950), one of the leading geographers of the Stalin period. Already before the Russian Revolution, Berg had developed a naturalistic notion of landscape geography which later appeared to contradict some aspects of Marxist–Leninist ideology. Based partly upon Berg's personal archive, the article discusses the effects of the 1917 revolution, the radical changes which Stalin's cultural revolution (from the late 1920s) brought upon Soviet science, and the attacks made upon Berg and his concept of landscape geography thereafter. The ways in which Berg managed to defend his notion of geography (sometimes in surprisingly bold ways) are considered. It is argued that geography's position under Stalin was different from that of certain other disciplines in that its ideological disputes may have been regarded as of little significance by the party leaders, certainly by comparison with its practical importance, thus providing a degree of ‘freedom’ for some geographers at least analogous to that which has been described by Weiner (1999. <i>A little corner of freedom: Russian nature protection from Stalin to Gorbachev</i>. Berkeley: University of California Press) for conservationists. It is concluded that Berg and others successfully upheld a concept of scientific integrity and limited autonomy even under Stalinism, and that, in an era of ‘Big Science’, no modernizing state could or can afford to emasculate these things entirely
Indução e controle da embriogenese somatica in vitro na goiabeira serrana (feijoa sellowiana Berg)
No full textDissertação (Mestrado) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina, Centro de Ciencias BiologicasNo presente trabalho estudaram-se as condições para o estabelecimento, multiplicação e maturação de linhagens celulares embriogenéticas in vitro, a conversão dos ES e a produção de sementes sintéticas, a partir de embriões zigóticos (EZ) de Feijoa sellowiana Berg. Testaram-se também as formulações salinas LPm, MS e WPM, fontes e níveis de aminoácidos e pulsos de 2,4-D. Avaliações histoquímicas e histológicas foram feitas para caracterizar os processos morfogenéticos in vitro. A maior percentagem de indução e o maior número de ES ocorreram nos acessos 101 e 50-4. A formulação salina LPm, adicionada de 2,4-D e Gln, resultou em valores elevados de indução embriogenética. A adição de Asn, Gln ou Arg ao meio LPm resultou em valores elevados de indução e produção de ES. Pulsos de duas semanas com 2,4-D proporcionaram valores comparativos de indução e produção de ES, àqueles obtidos com pulsos de 4 e 8 semanas. Sementes em maturação fisiológica e armazenadas a 4° C por 12 meses, mantiveram alto potencial de indução e produção de ES. Linhagens celulares embriogenéticas foram estabelecidas, multiplicadas e mantidas com alto potencial embriogenético. A dinâmica de crescimento das suspensões celulares revelou um incremento de 21,7 vezes, após 50 dias em meio de cultura LPm contendo 2,4-D e 2iP e quando repicadas para o meio basal geleificado foram induzidas à maturação. A conversão de ES em plântulas foram obtidas em meio basal LPm contendo BAP e/ou GA3. A conversão das sementes sintéticas em plantulas ocorreu em tratamentos contendo KNO3. Estudos histoquímicos e histológicos demonstraram a evolução dos processos morfogênicos in vitro
An analysis of water quality discharging into the Berg River at Paarl, Western Cape
No full textIn densely settled urban and peri-urban areas of South Africa, stormwater infrastructure is frequently being used as a conduit for the daily discharge of effluents resulting in the deterioration of rivers and other receiving water bodies. This study investigates the pollution load from urban localities entering the Berg River at Paarl, and in particular, seeks to determine whether or not there is a difference in the pollution load immediately after periods of wet and dry weather conditions
