    Willingness to Pay for the Preservation of Lo Go - Xa Mat National Park in Vietnam

    Lo Go - Xa Mat National Park has great value in terms of biodiversity but preserving the park is a great challenge for the Vietnamese government. This study estimated the willingness to pay of households to preserve Lo Go - Xa Mat National Park, using the contingent valuation method. We employed the single-bounded dichotomous choice question format to estimate how much households in Ho Chi Minh City were willing to contribute towards a preservation plan for the park. This plan comprised twelve preservation activities and compensating the local communities for their foregone income. The study found that households in Ho Chi Minh City were willing to pay at least VND 6,209 per month for three years for the preservation of Lo Go - Xa Mat National Park. With protest votes included, factors strongly affecting households' willingness to pay were bid amount and the amount of their monthly electricity bill. The education level of the respondents and the number of working people in the household had significant but lesser impact on their willingness to pay. Without protest votes, the bid amount, monthly electricity bill amount and education level of respondents significantly affected willingness to pay. We found that the annualized benefit value of the project was larger than its annualized cost. This indicated that the preservation plan was economically viable. This study does not provide the total value of Lo Go - Xa Mat National Park, but it shows the great value of the park in terms of local households' willingness to pay for its preservation and this is important information for policy-makers in deciding how to protect the park efficiently.willingness to pay, Vietnam

    Utilization of Palm-mat Geotextiles to Conserve Agricultural Soils.

    Previously, most studies on the effectiveness of geotextiles on soil erosion rates and processes were conducted in laboratory experiments for <1 h. Hence, at Hilton (52o33' N, 2o19' W), East Shropshire, UK, we investigated the effectiveness of employing palm-mat geotextiles (Borassus and Buriti mats) to reduce rainsplash erosion, runoff and soil loss under field conditions. This study is a component of the European Union-funded BORASSUS Project. The effects of Borassus mats on rainsplash erosion were studied for ~2 years (2002-2004), and re-established in January 2007 on a 0o slope. There were 12 experimental plots (six plots completely-covered with mats and six bare plots; each measuring 1.0 x 1.0 m). Runoff-plot studies were also conducted on the loamy sand soil at Hilton for 2 years (2002-2004) with duplicate treatments: (i) bare soil; (ii) grassed, (iii) bare soil with 1 m Borassus-mat buffer zones at the lower end of the plots and (iv) completely-covered with Borassus-mats. Each plot was 10 x 1 m on a 15o (26.6%) slope. To confirm the results, another set of experiments have been in progress at Hilton since January 2007, with one additional treatment (bare soil with 1 m Buriti-mat buffer zones) compared with the earlier experiment. Runoff and soil erosion were collected from each plot in a concrete gutter, leading to a 0.02 m3 (20 liters) capacity receptacle placed inside a 0.14 m3 (140 liters) capacity container. Results (06/10/02-02/09/04; total precipitation = 1038.3 mm) showed Borassus mats on bare soil reduced total rainsplash erosion by ~50% compared with bare plots (9.64 kg m-2; 1.97 lb ft-2). The use of Borassus mats on bare soil (during 01/22/07-01/21/08; total precipitation = 919.2 mm) also reduced soil splash erosion by ~90%. During 03/25/02-05/10/04 (total precipitation = 1319.8 mm) complete cover of Borassus mats on bare soil reduced total runoff by ~19% and soil erosion by ~64%. Furthermore, Borassus mats as 1 m buffer strips on bare soil reduced runoff by ~36% and soil erosion by ~57%. During 01/08/07-01/14/08 (total precipitation = 923.4 mm), plots with Borassus and Buriti mats as buffer strips on bare soil reduced sediment yield by ~93 and 98%, respectively, and runoff by ~83 and 63%, respectively. Buffer strips of Borassus mats were also as effective as complete cover of the same mats. Thus, utilization of palm-mat geotextiles as buffer strips on bare plots (area coverage ~10%) is highly effective for soil and water conservation

    Oil Press Mat.

    Patent for a new and improved oil press mat. This design consists in "having its body portion composed of card-board cut to the size of the press-box, the adjacent faces being covered with sheet metal, which is pressed or stamped into the paper body to give the required cavity, which is bounded by raised margins and transverse ribs struck up from the metal, and supported by paper strips interposed between the layers of card-board, the two leaves of the mat having a leather backing and being hinged together" (lines 15-25)

    Mat og helse på 1.-4.trinn, sett fra elever og skolelederes ståsted. En kvalitativ undersøkelse av prioritering og praksis på fire ulike skoler.

    Læreplanen i mat og helse har kompetansemål etter 4., 7, og 10. trinn, samtidig som læreplanen skal ses i lys av læreplanverkets overordnede del. Opplæringsloven slår fast at elevene har rett til grunnskoleopplæring i samsvar med læreplanene. Tidligere forskning har vist store variasjoner i hvordan mat- og helseundervisningen gjennomføres. I denne artikkelen undersøker vi hvordan elever på 4. trinn opplever mat- og helseundervisningen sett opp mot hvordan skoleledere mener de prioriterer undervisningen i faget, med henblikk på elevenes lovfestede rettigheter. Studien har et kvalitativt forskningsdesign. Vi har gjennomført åtte semi-strukturerte fokusgruppe-intervjuer med elever på 4. trinn, og individuelle intervjuer med skoleledere på fire skoler i to landsdeler. Innsamlede data er analysert ved hjelp av tematisk analyse. Resultatene tyder på sammenheng mellom hvorvidt undervisningen er timeplanfestet eller ikke, og elevenes opplevde undervisning. Resultatene indikerer også at det var norsk, matematikk og engelsk skoleledelsen prioriterte da Kunnskapsløftet 2020 ble innført, noe som kan ha påvirket prioriteringen av mat- og helsefaget. For økt satsning på mat og helse, bør faget timeplanfestes for 1.-4. trinn, for å sikre at elevene i større grad får den undervisningen de har krav på. Temaet bør også inn i rektorutdanningen, og tilbys som fagvalg ved alle landets lærerutdanningsinstitusjoner.publishedVersio
