Denne rapporten gjev eit litteraturoversyn ved ulike sider av næringsopptaket av ulike mineral og tilførsel til epletre. Det er omtalt dei fysiologiske sidene av næringsopptaket hjå grunnstammer og sjølve sorten, transporten gjennom sil- og vedvev og funksjonen til dei ulike minerala i epletreet. Bladanalysar er eit viktig diagnoseverktøy for vurdering av næringsstatusen i treet. Terskelverdiar for dei ulike minerala er vurderte og tiltak for å retta opp eventuelle mangelsymptom ved hjelp av eit bladgjødslingsprogram. Tilsvarande er eigenskapar ved jorda vurderte, normer for jordanalysar omtalte og tilråding om kalking. Siste bolken omhandlar ulike måtar og mengder for å tilføra gjødsel til frukthagen. Dette gjeld gjødsling til jorda, gjødselvatning i dropevatningsystemet i trerekkja og bladgjødsling.

This paper presents some of the ethical challenges that current care robots raise in home- and healthcare services for senior adults (≥65 years). The paper is grounded in some of the state-of-the-art projects within the area of care robotics.Further, the paper identifies and discusses several central challenges raised by using robots as part of care services for the elderly people. The paper contributes to the ethical debate on the implications care robots may have for the practical context of healthcare. In addition, the paper summarizes the main lines of the EU legal approach to AI robotic technology, offering a comprehensive picture of the existing regulatory, theoretical and research gaps, compelling the need of an interdisciplinary ethical reflection on care robots. Finally, the discussion is then balanced by some of the opportunities the care robots may provide for the care services.
Abstract
Computer models use symbols in various ways adapted from mathematics, computer science, engineering and the natural sciences. Model applications in ecology often seek to represent future states of ecosystems, a task that has been difficult to achieve. Reflection upon the role of symbols in these models may help to disentangle the various sources and contributions to these perceptions of the environment. The modi of time (past, present, future) are here represented by corresponding forms of modelling as narration, performance, and simulation. All three occur in ecological modelling, and transitions between them may be indicative of modelling limits. Given the difficulties of representing the future of ecosystems and finding relevant analogies in the history of ecosystem use, the most challenging task for contemporary ecological models is to perform appropriately with respect to (Big) monitoring Data. We use an analogy between an environmental crisis in natural history and the current Anthropocene to demonstrate the limits of symbols in modelling which are intended to provide an abstract representation. A shift in emphasis on the engineering and computational aspect is proposed for organizing a sustainable human-environment relationship in the Anthropocene.

EU aquaculture produces only a small fraction of the internal demand of aquatic foods, but boosting this activity must be done in compliance with high standards of environmental protection and social benefits, as fostered by the policies on circular economy recently launched by the EU. Nevertheless, the assessment of the environmental sustainability of aquaculture and other food production systems is complex, due to the different tools and approaches available. Moreover, the current EU regulatory framework may be restricting the options to implement some circular solutions. This paper examines the controversies related to the assessment of environmental impacts of aquaculture processes and the different available circular solutions, with a focus on the best options to valorize aquaculture side streams and how current regulatory burdens and gaps should be solved.
