The Attorney General of the Province, Juan Manuel Delgado, explained in successive meetings with the union of judicial employees, officials of the Public Ministry and the Association of Magistrates and Officials of the Judiciary the operational changes that will shortly begin to apply in the organization of prosecutors and judicial units of the city of Córdoba.
These changes, which will begin to be applied in District IV – this is the northwestern quadrant of the Capital – mean the abandonment of the shift system for the 23 Investigation Prosecutors. The new scheme also provides for the allocation of a territory of permanent action for each prosecutor and for each of the judicial units. The objective, as Delgado himself explained to The voiceis that permanent work teams are consolidated and closely related to the problems of each sector of the city.
On Monday, Delgado presented the territorial reorganization plan to the union leaders. Federico Cortelletti, Agostina Noccioli and Adrian Valan, respectively general secretary, assistant secretary and union secretary, attended for the Trade Union Association of Judicial Branch Employees.
The union statement on that meeting speaks of “detailed information” on the reorganization that will be applied and highlights the announcement of the incorporation of 116 new suspects. “It is something that the union has been repeatedly demanding to solve the problem of work overload for investigators with the consequent impossibility of proper attention to citizens and limits on the investigation of crimes,” says that press release.
After an initial reception of the announcement crossed by the internal strongholds that occur at all levels of the Judiciary of Córdoba, Delgado’s proposal had its litmus test yesterday before those directly involved in the changes promoted by the territorial plan of the Public Ministry: prosecutors, secretaries and pro-secretaries of the prosecutor’s offices. The work meeting with officials from District IV was informative, but also made progress in specific operational aspects: the development of new action protocols and the resolution of the functionality of the new organization, mainly the coverage of non-working hours and the purposes of week.
The Attorney General’s Office evaluated all the proposals received as “reasonable and logical”. Among other things, Delgado explained to the prosecutors that each work team assigned to a portion of the territory will have six officials to cover the shifts. He also guaranteed the reinforcement of personnel in the judicial units. The budget item has already been enabled and incorporations will begin shortly.
Today Wednesday, meanwhile, was the meeting with the representatives of the Association of Magistrates and Judicial Officials of the province of Córdoba. The entity had formalized through a note its claim to the Attorney General’s Office for not having been previously consulted and informed regarding the decision.
That circumstance was overcome with the meeting. However, the institutional opinion of the Association of Magistrates has not yet been made public following that meeting.
The rapid arrival of vaccines during the pandemic has saved lives and loosened the bolts of certain periods of confinement. Since then, research has intensified and now gives hope of finding a vaccine once morest cancer and even once morest heart disease.
Patrick Lagacé discusses it with Dr. Réjean Lapointe, oncologist.
According to the latter, a huge research effort due to the circumstances of the pandemic has allowed massive investments of public funds, which has helped research.
In the case of mRNA vaccines, the technology existed before 2020. For cancer vaccines, doctors are now targeting mutations in their research.
“It’s a bit like a second wave of success in immunotherapy,” explains Dr. Lapointe. We have been using the immune system, by stimulating it, to fight cancer for 10 or 12 years, which literally makes it possible to cure cancers that we thought were incurable.
For now, research is still at the laboratory stage.
Across the Arctic, felled trees move from the forests to the ocean via rivers. These trunks can pile up as the river meanders, which allows for long-term carbon storage.
A new study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters mapped the largest known tree deposit, covering 51 square kilometers of the Mackenzie River Delta in Nunavut. She also concluded that the trunks store around 3.4 million tonnes of carbon.
“To put it into perspective, that’s regarding two and a half million car emissions in one year,” said Alicia Sendrowski, research engineer and director of the study done in conjunction with the State University of Colorado.
She explains that this is a considerable amount of carbon, but admits that there is still little knowledge regarding what this carbon pool represents. “We are familiar with carbon in other forms, such as dissolved or particulate organic carbon, but not what we call ‘big carbon’, ie big wood. However, that is starting to change. »
The scientific community, however, has known for decades that wood can actually move through the Arctic by floating, but they are only just beginning to quantify how much wood and how much carbon storage is at risk of being lost to climate change.
“The cold, often dry or icy conditions of the Arctic allow trees to persist for tens of thousands of years; a tree that fell a thousand years ago can look just as fresh as a tree that fell last winter,” Ms. Sendrowski pointed out.
Three weeks of field research
To get a glimpse of ice jams, study researchers focused on the Mackenzie River, which has very high-resolution imagery and is known for heavy timber deposits. Its delta is the third largest in the world in terms of area and drains regarding 20% of Canada, the document notes.
The team surveyed around 13,000 square kilometers of delta in the largest attempt to map woody deposits to date. Researchers spent three weeks in the field measuring driftwood from the river, mapping ice jams and collecting wood samples for radiocarbon dating.
Experts have discovered that the repository, which includes more than 400,000 miniature wooden caches, stores around 3.4 million tonnes of carbon. The largest repository, which covers regarding 20 American football fields, alone stores 7,385 tons of carbon.
“But since there are still more trunks buried in the ground, submerged under water and hidden under vegetation by aerial imagery, the total amount of carbon stored in the delta wood might be regarding twice as large” , can we read in the study.
The Mackenzie River Delta is a carbon storage “hot spot” with incredibly carbon-rich soils, Sendrowski said. “As changes occur in the basin, such as logging or dam construction, and climate change alters rainfall patterns and warming, timber preservation will decline,” she concluded. .
