Combating economic crime in Ukraine in 1946–1949 by V. A. Grechenko

“…The most common crimes were the following: 1) maliciously delaying the repair of agricultural machinery, allegedly due to the lack of spare parts and specialists; 2) theft of grain during its transportation and sowing by persons responsible for this (weighers, field crew leaders, guards); 3) theft of seeds and fuel by security guards; 4) theft and embezzlement of seeds by officials of collective and state farms and subsidiary farms; 5) theft of seed by reducing the seeding rate and theft of fuel due to lack of control over its consumption; 6) theft of seeds by employees of storage facilities with their subsequent resale at markets at speculative prices; 7) creation of surplus seeds by weighing, moistening, writing off for drying, and increasing waste during sorting. …”

Identifying pesticide mixtures at country-wide scale by Cairo, Milena, Monnet, Anne-Christine, Robin, Stéphane, Porcher, Emmanuelle, Fontaine, Colin

“…Wild organisms are likely exposed to complex mixtures of pesticides owing to the large diversity of substances on the market and the broad range agricultural practices. The consequences of such exposure are still poorly understood, first because of potentially strong synergistic effects, making cocktails effects not predictable from the effects of single compounds, but also because little is known about the actual exposure of organisms to pesticide mixtures in nature. …”
