generations, and we have to adapt to this, a part of nature and the cycle of life and not pretend to be above it. ‘The feeling for Nature is one of the deepest parts of human nature. It is actually rather straightforward. Our five senses are created to give us access to the infinite world of Nature. It is up to us to develop them to the greatest possible receptivity, thus our own sensitivity for life is expanded, and we get a deeper and fuller sense of being alive. And the present moment of life becomes even richer for us if we can connect it to earlier generations’ [2]. Recently, Kristoffer Garne also wrote about the Danish national icon, the poet and writer N.F.S. Grundtvig (1783–1872) with regard to his views on nature and the environment [4]. In Grundtvig’s work as well as in that of other explicitly Christian Danish authors, he finds elements of Larsen’s thoughts on nature and man’s place in the universe, such as in Grundtvig’s use of metaphors from nature and reference to ‘the natural order of things’ which humans must obey. In the Christian context human beings are mostly considered as above or outside nature, but Garne still find important aspects in favour of environmental ethics in the Danish literature of the nineteenth and early twentieth century which could inspire us today, but most consistently so in the works of Thøger Larsen.

ABSTRACT The study provides current information on the level of Aflatoxin M1 (AFM1) in three kinds of milk. This is the first report on AFM1 contamination in raw camel milk in the studied area. Seven raw camel milk, 21 raw cow milk, and 13 powdered milk samples were analysed with a highly sensitive competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit. The results indicated that 14.63% (6/41) of all the analysed samples were positive, with an average concentration of 17.92ng/L, and a range of 5.5–42.5ng/L. It was found that only one sample (4.76%) of cow’s milk was positive, but all camels’ milk samples (100%) were free from Aflatoxin M1. The highest incidence and concentration (38.46%) was found in powdered milk with an average concentration of 20.34 ng/L. No analysed sample exceeded the limit set by European regulations (50 ng/L). This means that the milk analysed does not represent a consumer health hazard owing to the low concentration of Aflatoxin M1, but continuous monitoring is still needed to protect public health.

Bacterial contamination in fruits and vegetables cultivated in urban and peri-urban areas constitutes a serious public health risk. This paper investigates bacterial contamination in irrigation water of the Nairobi-Machakos counties interface, Kenya. Sixty-six irrigation water samples were tested for total coliforms, Escherichia coli , Shigella spp. Pseudomonas aeruginosa , Enterococcus faecalis , Vibrio cholerae , Salmonella typhi , BOD, COD, and pH. Results shows a high load of bacterial pathogens in all samples except for Salmonella typhi , which tested negative. Based on Kenya's standards and WHO guidelines, the irrigation water samples are unfit for fruit and vegetable irrigation. Urgent and effective measures are required, including regular monitoring, sensitisation, and enforcement of phytosanitary and regulatory measures.

ABSTRACT Beach monitoring programmes along the Brazilian coast in recent years have provided stranding data which can be analysed to show the effects of human impacts on sea turtle populations. In Brazil, the five species recorded are threatened with extinction. In this study, data from strandings of sea turtles on the northern coast of the State of São Paulo, Brazil, over six years (2015–2021), were used to evaluate whether human activities are associated with impacts on the populations and to analyse the effects of seasonality on abundance. There were 6411 strandings of sea turtles, the majority being Chelonia mydas, followed by Caretta caretta, Lepidochelys olivacea, Eretmochelys imbricata and Dermochelys coriacea. Strandings occurred mainly during winter and spring. Where it was possible to determine the cause of death of an individual, there were several associations with anthropogenic factors, mainly solid waste, fishing gear, collisions with vessels, injuries and dredging. The high incidence of strandings of sea turtles on the Brazilian coast, mostly juveniles, and the great impact of anthropogenic factors in the causa mortis indicate the need to adopt ocean education strategies and public policies that can establish effective management and conservation plans of marine ecosystems.

ABSTRACT The mental and physical benefits of accessible coastlines for urban residents will be impacted by climate change. Using place attachment, identity, adaptation, climate, and recreational fishing literature, this study investigates how urban and peri-urban shore recreational fishers will likely respond to impacts from climate change, specifically, those associated with rainfall, hurricanes and fish species. Findings from anglers interviewed at peri-urban public access sites in Rhode Island indicate that increased rainfall and hurricanes are perceived to reduce recreational fishing use through lack of access, dangerous conditions and erosion. Climate change impacts were conceptualised as short or long term with many anglers highly adaptive to short term impacts. Anglers with health issues or children were less motivated to use substitution gear or strategies for weather changes. Increased immediate fish abundance may increase shore recreational fishing. These findings allow assessment and interpretation of how recreational fishers will use coastal sites in the future.
