Delta Futures
No full textDelta Futures explores the competing visions of the future that are crowding into the Bengal Delta’s imperiled present and vying for control of its ecologically vulnerable terrain. In Bangladesh’s southwest, development programs that imagine the delta as a security threat unfold on the same ground as initiatives that frame the delta as a conservation zone and as projects that see its rivers and ports as engines for industrial growth. Jason Cons explores how these competing futures are being brought to life: how they are experienced, understood, and contested by those who live and work in the delta, and the entanglements they engender—between dredgers and embankments, tigers and tiger prawns, fishermen and forest bandits. These future visions produce the delta as a “climate frontier,” a zone where opportunity, expropriation, and risk in the present are increasingly framed in relation to disparate visions of the delta’s climate-affected future.
“Jason Cons’s ethnography is filled with insights into the multiple and often contradictory entanglements of global warming, crime, politics, development, and projected ‘climate solutions.’ This important work presents a ground-level portrait of the region’s ongoing transformation, examining the ways in which climate change, economic uncertainty, and historical legacies are shaping its future.” — AMITAV GHOSH, author of Smoke and Ashes
“Delta Futures illustrates how the Bengal Delta and its inhabitants are being ‘captured’ by particular actors and imaginations, struggling to navigate the ‘siltscape’ with ever smaller margins between climate frontier futures. A very powerful book.” — FRANZ KRAUSE, author of Thinking Like a River
“In this creative and original work, Cons makes us think more closely about how climate change is remaking a place that could be considered a ‘sentinel space’ for the planetary crisis, and how people are living through it.” — NAYANIKA MATHUR, author of Crooked Cat

Prosecutorial investigation: Pros and cons
No full textSince 1890, Serbia had judicial investigation, but in 2011 a new law was brought. That was the way of transition from judicial to prosecutorial investigation. The author tried to find which of this two types of investigation is more efficient. By comparing pros and cons of judicial investigation and prosecutorial investigation author made a conclusion that prosecutorial investigation is more efficient than judicial investigation. Prosecutorial investigation provides possibility to the court to concentrate on his basic function-judgement. It also provides possibility to the prosecutor to research more than he could in judicial investigation. Prosecutorial investigation proclaims prosecutor as unbiased party in criminal procedure. It also obligates him to collect proofs at the expense and in favor of the defendant and that is problem. In addition to the analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of the judicial investigation and prosecutorial investigation author also presented features of the prosecutorial investigation under the Serbian Criminal Procedure Code from 2011.and the problems that arise there

Pros and cons of an aggressive initial treatment with surgery and radioiodine treatment in minimally invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma
No full textBACKGROUND: Currently, surgery alone is the gold standard treatment for minimally invasive follicular thyroid cancer (mi-FTC). CASE PRESENTATION: A case of a mi-FTC diagnosed in 1994 was treated with total thyroidectomy and radioiodine (RAI) ablation, according to the therapeutic algorithm used at that time. Nevertheless, he had a recurrence with distant metastasis after 24 years from the initial treatment. CONCLUSION: Total thyroidectomy and RAI ablation might have delayed the development of distant metastasis but they were not sufficient to avoid disease recurrence. Certainly, remnant ablation simplified the follow-up and the monitoring of serum thyroglobulin allowed the early detection of the biochemical recurrence, but didn’t change the outcome of the disease. Moreover, because of this early detection the patient was exposed to useless biochemical and imaging examinations. The aim of this report is to discuss the pros and cons of an aggressive treatment of a patient with mi-FTC
Does Sustainable Certification Knowledge Influence Tourist Behavior?
No full textIn this study, the investigators use scores from the Tourist Ecological Orientation (TEO) Scale (Uriely, Reichel & Shani, 2007) of Costa Rica visitors to understand how their ecological orientation and interest in ecological practices influence accommodation and destination site choices. Results from this study were intended to be used to inform professionals in the tourism industry on how they might best develop their tourism sites, policies and programs according to the ecological orientation of the visitors. Based on the findings from this study, however, it seems that the Tourist Ecological Orientation Score derived by Uriely, Reichel and Shani (2007) is not appropriate for differentiating tourist behaviors. As such, it is not recommended for use in developing sites, policies and programs or otherwise marketing them to tourists
