Abstract:
AbstractAdvanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite data were acquired and composited into twice-a-month periods from 1 May 1991 to 15 October 1991 in order to map vegetation characteristics of the Alaskan landscape. Unique spatial and temporal qualities of the AVHRR data provide information that leads to a better understanding of regional biophysical characteristics of vegetation communities and patterns. These data provided synoptic views of the landscape and depicted phenological diversity, temporal vegetation phenology (green-up, peak of green, and senescence), photosynthetic activity, and regional landscape patterns. Products generated from the data included a phenological class map, phenological composite maps (onset, peak, and duration), and photosynthetic activity maps (mean and maximum greenness). The time-series data provide opportunities to study phenological processes at small landscape scales over time periods of weeks, months, and years. Regional patterns identified on some of the maps are unique to specific areas; others correspond to biophysical or ecoregional boundaries. The data provide new insights to landscape processes, ecology, and landscape physiognomy that allow scientists to look at landscapes in ways that were previously difficult to achieve.

Abstract:
In the context of carbon neutrality, it is increasingly important to reduce carbon and increase sinks, and urban green spaces play an important role in carbon sinks. In this paper, we used virtual reality (VR) and photoplethysmographic (PPG) technology to evaluate subject satisfaction regarding urban green space plant community landscape scenes using physiological eye movement and heart rate variability (HRV) data and psychological data obtained according to positive and negative emotional adjectives (PANA). The results of the study showed the following. (1) The physiological data showed the highest visual interest in single-layer grassland. The compound layer of tree-shrub-grass composite woodland communities resulted in the strongest comfort level. (2) The psychological subjective satisfaction evaluation scores were, in descending order: tree-shrub-grass composite woodland (T-S-G) > single-layer grassland (G) > tree-grass composite woodland (T-G) > single-layer woodland (T). (3) The correlation between interest, comfort, and subjective satisfaction was significant, which verified the feasibility of the model of “interest + comfort + subjective evaluation = comprehensive satisfaction”. The results of the study provide theoretical guidance for landscape design based on human perception preferences in the context of carbon neutrality as well as for the implementation of sustainable landscapes to achieve a win–win situation in which carbon sequestration and oxygen release benefits and aesthetics can coexist. The combined physiological and psychological evaluation model can also be applied to other landscapes.

Abstract:
Understanding the influence of landscape patterns on the water quality of agricultural wetlands is critically important for their management and related decision-making. However, the question of how to quantify this objectively remains a challenge in the relevant scientific fields. In this study, the location-weighted landscape index (LWLI), a process-oriented indicator that integrates ecological processes with landscape patterns based on the source and sink theory, was modified into the SLWLI by assigning nutrient-based weights in the Honghe Hani Rice Terraces World Heritage Site (HHRT). The results indicate that the five watersheds are dominated by sink landscapes, representing 64 percent of the total area. Rice terraced fields were a composite “source–sink” landscape, and their areas in the five watersheds ranged from 4.82% to 20.40%. The nutrient retention function of the sink landscapes of total nitrogen (TN) ranged from 0.64 to 0.86, whereas the total phosphorus (TP) ranged from 0.72 to 0.82, showing good retention function in regard to both nutrients. The contribution rates of forest land and rice terraces to TN and TP retention were greater than 47.07% and 17.07%, respectively, which indicates their key regulation of the nutrient retention function, reducing the risk of water eutrophication and leading to optimized conservation. The vertical pattern of the HHRT plays an important role in nutrient retention function. The SLWLI is an effective index that can be used to assess nutrient retention function and to identify sink landscapes for regulating water pollution in agricultural wetlands.

Abstract:
This work deals with the dichotomy between integration and fragmentation caused by artificial elements in the cultural landscapes, especially minor rural roads. In Europe, the rural matrix dominates the configuration of landscapes, and the agents of fragmentation can be analysed from different perspectives. For this purpose, the Land Parcel Information System, designed for the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) is used as a data source to feed the indicators, allowing a high detail analysis, down to the parcel unit. It is applied to a case-study in Spain: the province of Ciudad Real. Here we find different landscape units with different rural and agrarian profiles to test the hypothesis. We use three indicators that allow us to explore the configuration of different cultural landscapes under the fragmentation perspective, using minor rural roads and other elements of the rural matrix that can only be observed at large scale. Then we calculate a composite indicator summarizing the fragmentation results of each unit. Results reveal a significative variability of fragmentation results regarding the land use and spatial patterns of the different cultural landscapes dominated by agrarian and rural factors, with a strong correspondence with the minor rural network underneath. Therefore, fragmentation can be interpreted as a dual process in cultural landscapes where the different land uses have different relations with the infrastructure network.

Abstract:
We investigated the effects on humans, in terms of skin conductance levels (SCLs) and positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS) scores, of plant communities that differed in their vegetation structure (single-layer woodland, tree-shrub-grass composite woodland, tree-grass composite woodland, and single-layer grassland) through two perceptual methods: onsite surveying and photo elicitation. The results showed that (1) the choice of perception method significantly impacted the PANAS scores of the participants but had no influence on the SCL and (2) viewing a single-layer grassland reduced the SCL (representing the physiological stress level) and improved the positive affect score. The recovery effects for the four vegetation communities were ranked in the order of single-layer grassland > tree-shrub-grass composite woodland > single-layer woodland > tree-grass composite woodland. (3) Gender and professional background significantly impacted the plant community perception methods and landscape experience, and negative affect scores were lower for male participants than for female participants. Participants without backgrounds in landscape design exhibited higher positive affect scores under photo elicitation. Based on the conclusions drawn above, the onsite survey is preferable between the two perception methods. It is recommended that in future landscape designs, combinations of plant community types should be reasonably matched through onsite perception. These research results can provide a scientific basis for the future design of landscapes based on perception experience.

Abstract:
Through field perception in winter and summer, people’s preferences for vegetation types in green spaces with various structures (single-layer woodland, tree-shrub-grass composite woodland, tree-grass composite woodland, and single-layer grassland) and concrete and asphalt sites (areas) without plants are evaluated. The results show the following: (1) There are significant differences in landscape preference between the two seasons, and the environmental perception preference score for landscapes in summer is higher. (2) The preference score for the vegetation types in green spaces was single-layer woodland > tree-shrub-grass composite woodland > tree-grass composite woodland > single-layer grassland > concrete and asphalt sites (areas). The preference score for the single-layer woodland landscape in winter was significantly higher than that in summer. (3) The preferences of participants to carry out activities vary by season and the magnitude of thermal comfort; notably, rest and communication activities in green spaces with high thermal comfort, such as tree-shrub-grass composite woodland and single-layer woodland areas, are preferred in summer, and physical activities in the single-layer woodland landscape are preferred in winter. (4) Regardless of which environmental perception method is adopted, landscape preferences did not significantly differ by sex or professional background. Based on the above results, the two seasonal perception methods cannot replace each other. Therefore, the types of activities should be carefully selected to be appropriate for the specific vegetation types in green spaces and season in which they will occur, and the green space should be reasonably planned according to the thermal comfort of the vegetation types to provide a scientific basis for evaluating landscape perception and preferences in the future.

Abstract:
Rural landscapes all over the world are subject to great transformations, first being the continuous and slow depopulation of towns and villages. It is a dramatic phenomenon that causes devastating consequences for environmental systems and for the tangible and intangible heritage of entire territories. The situation becomes more ambiguous when it comes to cultural landscapes, especially those internationally recognized as exceptional (i.e., inscribed on the UNESCO (The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization) World Heritage List). In this case, the risk is to abandon agricultural production in favor of consumerist tourist economies, which can damage the territorial authenticity. In this paper, we question the role of the landscape design in strengthening territorial resilience. In particular, a composite and interdependent action has been proposed between landscape design and implementation of a multifunctional agriculture model, oriented towards tourism. To undertake this investigation, a master’s thesis work on Landscape Architecture has been examined as an opportunity to test the research-by-design method through the didactic process. The application case is the Italian UNESCO site of Vignale Monferrato, a depopulated rural village, characterized by abandoned land and buildings. The paper concludes by outlining replicability application scenarios for the proposed model.

Abstract:
The article reveals the peculiarities of Zoltan Sholtes' work in the open air. The typological characteristics of the artist's landscapes by thematic and semantic aspects are determined. Landscape with architectural motifs is one of the dominant plots, along with a lyrical chamber sketch, a rural landscape and a panoramic landscape-picture. Some landscapes with motifs of Transcarpathian architecture, in addition to artistic value, have ethnographic value, as they show architectural monuments that have not been preserved to this day. Art analysis of landscapes with motifs of the fortifications of Uzhgorod and Mukachevo, as well as wooden bell towers and churches showed the peculiarities of the creative method. This is work in the open air, solving pictorial and figurative tasks, the use of realistic-impressionist means of artistic expression. The plein air experience contributed to the formation of a recognizable author's handwriting of the artist. This is a special approach to the interpretation of planning and spatial relationships; compositional division of the canvas into plans with a high horizon line and a blank foreground; use of vibrating expressive writing technique a la Prima; combination of active modeling smear with transparent generalized planes; color experiments, a special ratio of warm and cold shades in particular. The main means of emotional expression of the works are defined by color means; means of author's equipment; composite means; figurative means, expressed through the peculiarities of the interpretation of the planes of the foreground and the sky, which enhance the emotional component of the landscape. Detailed reproduction of a visible plot with an architectural object and the search for a unique image inspired by this plot, the formation of the appropriate mood, and the manifestation of philosophical, symbolic subtext determine the peculiarity of the artist's creative method.

Abstract:
The Yukon-Kuskokwim (Y-K) Delta is home to the Alaskan Native Yup’ik people who have inhabited this remote, subarctic tundra for over 1500 years. Today, their ancestral lifeways and cultural landscapes are at risk from severe climate change-related threats. In turn, we propose that remote sensing technologies, particularly with sensors mounted on Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) platforms, are uniquely suited for protecting Yup’ik landscape heritage. Based on collaborative, community-based fieldwork in Quinhagak, AK, we present evidence that cultural sites—ranging from historic fishing camps to pre-contact winter villages—exhibit predictably atypical vegetation patterns based on the local ecological biome. Furthermore, these vegetation patterns can be recorded and statistically quantified through the analysis of multispectral imagery obtained from UAV-mounted sensors with three different false color composite rasters and vegetation indices depending on biome type. Finally, we suggest how the Yupiit can combine these methodologies/workflows with local knowledge to monitor the broader heritage landscape in the face of climate change.

Hook, George. "True to nature? Fidelity and transformation in Eugene von Guérard’s antipodean landscape paintings." Thesis, Federation University Australia, 2021. http://researchonline.federation.edu.au/vital/access/HandleResolver/1959.17/182577.

Full text
Abstract:
When the leading mid-nineteenth-century landscape artist in Victoria, Eugene von Guérard, was criticised for failing to illustrate nature sublimely, he replied that his “greatest desire” was to “imitate nature” as far as it was “compatible with the effect of the picture.” Later, he asserted that his aim was “to be true to nature as far as possible” in his art. This empirical, science-informed thesis explores what being “true to nature” meant in Guérard’s practice by examining natural features typically illustrated with fidelity, scrutinising features freely transformed for artistic effect, and assessing whether such transformations compromise his aesthetic ideal. The fieldwork-based study addresses a knowledge gap in Australian art history and environmental history by adopting a multi-disciplinary approach. The findings make a significant contribution to understanding what being “true to nature” meant for Guérard, and to determining whether his landscapes are reliable environmental history records. The investigation uses a mixed-method approach, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. Early in-depth case studies identified faithfully rendered and freely modified features, which informed the development of an innovative survey instrument used to evaluate the fidelity of over a hundred of Guérard’s Antipodean landscapes. The extent to which natural features are faithful or transformed is subjectively assessed by comparing them with his accurate field drawings and modern site photographs taken from his vantage points. The novel reverse use of digital elevation models enabled many of his vantage points at sites to be precisely determined. Statistical analysis of survey data and further case studies leads to the conclusion that Guérard practised selective fidelity to nature. Although no natural feature was totally immune to being modified for artistic effect, many features are typically reproduced with great fidelity to the natural scenery visible at the site. Features significantly altered to create visually engaging or dramatic landscapes are usually found to be true to the natural history of the location, if not necessarily to the view. Exceptions are largely restricted to the composite landscapes that field research uncovered. Finally, the thesis examines whether Guérard’s fidelity practice resonates with particular purported influences, or parallels the practices of international contemporaries who were also renowned for their wilderness paintings.

Abstract:
This diploma project is about the relationship between building and ground. My interest has been in an excavating process in which landscape and architecture is treated in the same manner. With this I want to achieve an ambiguous and a non-hierarchic relationship between ground and building. Hidden within a landscape is a metro station for an extension of the blue line and a bus terminal for buses to Nacka and Värmdö. The project is a composite of landscape and building, substrates, bedrock, concrete and wood. Alejandro Zaera Polo writes in his text "The Politics of the Envelope" about "the Flat-Horizontal Envelope" which are buildings with larger horizontal dimensions than vertical. These are buildings that because of its vastnes act as a boundary in the urban settings. A Bus Terminal is often of this category. With my proposal of diffusing the relationship between building and ground and speculations on letting the ground become the envelope of the building I suggest a development of the flat-horizontal envelope typology. My proposal is not an urban boundary. On the contrary it invites and allow for passing across and engage in the building.
Det här examensarbete handlar om relationen mellan byggnad och mark. Mitt intresset har legat i en utgrävande process i vilken landskap och byggnad behandlas på samma sätt. Med det vill jag uppnå en oklar eller tvetydig relation mellan mark och byggnad. En icke hirarkisk relation. Gömd innuti landskapet ligger en tunnelbanestation, som är slutstaionen på en förlängning av blå linjen österut. Samt en bussterminal för bussar mot Nacka och Värmdö. Projektet är en komposit av landskap och byggnad, jord, berggrund, betong och trä. Alejandro Zaera Polo skriver i sin text "The Politics of the Envelope" om "den platta och horisontella fasaden". Det är byggnader med större horisontell dimension än vertikal. Det är byggnader, som pågrund av sin storlek och utsträkthet blir bariärer i det urbana landskapet. En bussterminal tillhör ofta den här kategorien av byggnad. Med mitt förslag, som handlar om att sudda ut gränsen mellan byggnad och mark och dessutom spekulera om att låta själva marken vara byggnadens fasad, så föreslår jag en utveckling av typologin "den platta - horisontella fasaden". Mitt förslag är ingen bariär. Utan motsattsen. Mitt förslag bjuder in till att pasera över och igenom.

Abstract:

This thesis explores the aspects considered by the European Commission to be of key importance to the Future of Manufacturing in Europe. The areas selected for study are Workforce, Research & Development, and Operating Environment for Innovation. Furthermore, a methodology for measuring a country’s inherent capabilities within these areas is proposed and carried out for twenty-three European countries.

Fifty indicators have been selected, and used to analyse the inherent capabilities of the countries at a country level, key area level, and finally at a composite capability index level.

The resulting composite capability index enables the creation of a landscape or 'map' of Europe, highlighting countries which are outperforming and those which are underperforming in the areas considered to be important for the future of manufacturing.

The resulting index has been compared with the European Innovation Scoreboard Summary Innovation Index (European Commission), the Growth Competitiveness Index (World Economic Forum) and the Lisbon Review Rankings 2004 (World Economic Forum), and there proves to be a strong correlation with all three.

A brief discussion about the challenges associated with composite indices has been included.

The thesis was carried out at the Department of Production Economics, Linköping Institute of Technology & the Fraunhofer-institute for Systems and Innovation Research.

This reconfiguring of the elements from the external world combined with invented places is a way for me to articulate the subtle transactions between the interior psyche and the external world. The way this new conglomerate space is represented is a result of my inquiry into the relationship between nature, culture, and the sublime. The place where the private acts of the studio meet the shared exterior world is where I find my intellect, fantasy, and sense of reality collaborating in chorus.

Eight different landscape mulches were tested for their flammability using a propane torch, charcoal briquette, and a cigarette at two different times of the year. Three randomized compete blocks with eight one square meter plots were tested at three locations; Tucson, Prescott, and Flagstaff, Arizona. Each of the mulches was subjected to the heat of a handheld propane torch (15 seconds), a glowing charcoal briquette (five minutes), and a lit cigarette (until burned out). We found that the least dense mulches (pine needles and straw) burned rapidly when subjected to the torch and ignited after the briquette was removed. The medium density mulches (pine bark nuggets and wood chips) had low flame lengths and smoldered. Heavy density mulches (garden compost and shredded bark) only smoldered. The decomposed granite and sod did not ignite or smolder.

Full text
Abstract:
Bioretention cells are a stormwater treatment technology that uses soil and vegetation to remove pollutants from runoff and improve downstream water quality. While bioretention has been shown to be effective at removing certain stormwater pollutants such as sediment and heavy metals, removal of nutrients has been more variable. Design components of bioretention such as vegetation and soil media amendments can influence pollutant removal performance. In my experiment, I isolate the effects of low-phosphorus compost and a Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) monoculture on bioretention performance. In fall 2016, three bioretention cells were installed at the University of Vermont Miller Research Complex, a mixed-use research and agricultural production facility located in South Burlington, VT. Each bioretention had a unique experimental treatment that allowed for the comparison of the presence of the following design components: (1) compost with planted vegetation, (2) no compost and vegetation, and (3) no compost or vegetation. Results suggest that the presence of a low-P compost layer had a small deleterious effect on nutrient removal performance, as the bioretention cell with an added compost layer exported higher concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen and exhibited a higher concentration of water extractable phosphorus in the bioretention media. The bioretention cell with vegetation and no compost was the only treatment to significantly reduce total nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations; however, there was no effect on media phosphorus concentration. The presence of low-P compost significantly increased the above-ground biomass growth of Switchgrass, but had no effect on the total number of plants surviving in the first year. Switchgrass proved to be a durable plant, capable of surviving in bioretention media without compost, but was slow to grow and required additional watering through droughty conditions.

Kansas City is currently under achieving in its capacity of divert recyclable and compostable solid waste from city landfills. The city recycling system provides free access to single family residents, but it does not provide access to high density residential and commercial land uses commonly found Downtown. To solve this dilemma, KCDC has studied the current solid waste systems in the city, and developed its [re]considered proposal through a MARC Solid Waste Management District grant to improve Kansas City waste diversion. This is achieved through a system of links, clusters and nodes which will help to promote and facilitate greater recycling (KCDC 2015 Fall Studio 2015) Compost | KC seeks to answer if the organic nodes as proposed in can effectively compost residential organic waste in down town Kansas City. As part of this system, the organic node at 12th and Holmes functionally demonstrates the potential feasibility and benefits of residential compost of organic solid waste. Through the site design, the proposed organic node creates an integrated system of residential organic waste collection, processing and utilization. Collected form a 15 minute radius the waste is processed into a rich organic compost that is used in various ways to improve soil quality for stormwater management, carbon sequestration, and increased biomass production in and around the site. To compost the organic waste, the site contains a series of in-vessel composting drums, agitated compost piles connected to greenhouses, and an external maturing pile visibly demonstrating and educating the public composting benefits. Managed through a local non-profit organization, compost is used to grow a variety of produce and nursery stock sold to help fund the site management. Organic waste is brought to the site by organized collection with apartment complexes and free public drop-off points. By incentivizing access, ease and appeal of composting in Kansas City for residences, the organic node at 12th and Holmes achieves the goals of both the site design and [re] considered proposals. By meeting those goals, the organic node helps to increase organic waste diversion and increase education and awareness about the benefits of composting in downtown Kansas City.

Abstract:
Tout au long de leur histoire, les Japonais ont cultivé précieusement leurs propres traditions, tout en assimilant lescultures voisines, celles d’Asie continentale (Chine, Corée), puis celles apportées par l’Occident. Pourtant, aujourd’hui,au début du XXIe siècle, leur vie quotidienne est marquée par le monde occidental et il nous semble que « la traditionjaponaise » commence à tomber en désuétude. Le mot « tradition » prend même une couleur exotique à leurs yeux, etdésormais, ce sont les Occidentaux qui tournent leur regard vers la tradition japonaise. Parmi eux, deux compositeursfrançais, Laurent Martin (1959-) et Jean-Luc Hervé (1960-). L’objet de leurs recherches est le moteur de leur créationmusicale et leur intérêt pour le Japon ne se limite pas à des stéréotypes. Laurent Martin s’intéresse au premier chef à lalittérature japonaise et Jean-Luc Hervé est attiré avant tout par l’agencement du paysage japonais (architecture, jardins).Tous deux sont en quête de ce qui est ignoré ou oublié des Japonais eux-mêmes : « la tradition japonaise », qui est digned’être perpétuée ou remise à jour. Les centres d’intérêt de ces deux compositeurs ont nourri le sujet de notre recherche.Après avoir étudié les particularités des cultures japonaise et française, leurs points communs et ce qui les différencie,nous analyserons Poèmes japonais de Laurent Martin et Effet lisière de Jean-Luc Hervé sous divers angles. À partir deces deux modèles musicaux, nous nous demanderons comment les Japonais eux-mêmes peuvent appréhender leurspropres traditions au sein de la société moderne
During their long history, the Japanese people had managed at the same time to cultivate carefully their own traditionswhile integrating the surrounding cultures, first those of continental Asia (China, Corea), then the Western cultures. Andyet, nowadays, it seems that the daily life of the Japanese people has become more and more westernized while the socalledJapanese tradition is receding. For the Japanese, the term itself of “tradition” seems to take an exotic meaning andhenceforth, Westerners are now mainly taking interest in the Japanese tradition, and among them, two contemporaryFrench composers, Laurent Martin (1959-) and Jean-Luc Hervé (1960-). The object of their research constitutes thedynamic of their musical creation and their interest in Japan is not confined to stereotypes. Laurent Martin’s maininterest lies in Japanese literature while Jean-Luc Hervé is attracted above all by the layout of Japanese landscapes (inarchitecture and gardens). Both are delving into what the Japanese people are ignoring or forgetting, i.e., the “Japanesetradition” which merits to be perpetuated and brought up to date. The fields of interest of the two composers are theobject of this present research. After studying the particularities of Japanese and French cultures, their commun featuresand their differences, we will analyse Laurent Martin’s Poèmes japonais and Jean-Luc Hervé, Effet lisière from variousperspectives. From those two musical models we will then ask ourselves how Japanese people can assess their owntraditions within modern society

Abstract:
Ritual landscapes were integral to Inca imperial expansion, both as a medium for and as a product of the interaction between the Inca state and regional and local polities. The incorporation of peoples and lands into the Inca Empire entailed complex dealings with local and regional huacas, together with the co-optation and modification of local elite lineages, corporate origins, and histories. Late Horizon ritual landscapes were thus emergent phenomena, constructed over time through processes of negotiation and reconfiguration between the Inca and other peoples. I refer to these negotiated landscapes as “local-imperial,” and explore these interactive processes through archaeological and ethnohistorical data from Cuzco, Pachacamac, Huamachuco, and Huarochirí. Inasmuch as local-imperial ritual landscapes were composite entities described in this article, viewing these different forms of evidence together clarifies our image of the Inca expansion as the work of physical, social, and symbolic-semiotic mastery.

Abstract:
AbstractPoor municipal solid waste management continues to be a daunting issue for municipal authorities in Ghana. Major cities generate 2000 tonnes of mixed municipal waste per day, of which about 80% is collected and disposed of at open dump sites and/or at the limited number of landfills available. About 60% of this waste is organic. The Utilization of Organic Waste to Improve Agricultural Productivity (UOWIAP) project sought to co-create knowledge through a private-public engagement for the development of organic waste value chain opportunities to sustainably manage municipal organic waste and, at the same time, improve urban farm soils and increase food productivity in the Ga-West Municipal Assembly in the Greater Accra Region of Ghana. Through the project, identified key stakeholders in the waste and agricultural sectors, such as market traders, informal waste collectors, unemployed persons, farmers, landscapers, media, agricultural extension officers, Municipal Assembly officers and the general public, were engaged and made aware of sustainable organic waste management processes, including organic waste segregation from source, collection and compost production. Four formal markets were selected for the piloting of organic waste segregation from source. Interested persons were trained in organic waste collection, compost production and entrepreneurship. The lessons learned draw attention to the need for a massive effort to generate demand for compost use as this will invariably drive removal of organic waste from the unsorted waste stream.

Abstract:
This paper aims to cast new light on Anton Domenico Gabbiani’s first sojourn in Venice, which took place between 1678 and 1681, by following the two main biographies of the artist, written by Ignazio Enrico Hugford and Francesco Saverio Baldinucci, and by analysing new archival documents. Specific attention is given to the constant study of artworks by the great Venetian masters of the Sixteenth century, especially Titian, to whom Gabbiani devoted himself also in his later years, copying famous masterpieces of the Cadore painter. Through some unpublished drawings of the Uffizi and new or little-known paintings, the Venetian component of Gabbiani’s style is identified in the way of composing and in the execution of airy and light figures. The highlights and intense Venetian colorism contributed to the creation of sophisticated chiaroscuro modulations expressed in the mimetic rendering of animals and landscape settings.

Abstract:
AbstractAgricultural biodiversity plays a vital role in enhancing food security and human health. Sustainable agriculture practices that conserve soil and water can result in good environmental and human health. In view of this, a project on capacity-building for sustainable agricultural practices targeting extension officers was implemented between September 2017 and February 2021 in Kampong Cham Province, Cambodia, by the Institute of Environmental Rehabilitation and Conservation (ERECON), Japan. The project involved government agencies, educational institutes, NGOs, and farmers, and employed a multi-stakeholder approach to promote sustainable farming practices among local farmers and enable conditions for the sale of agricultural products with low chemical inputs, especially in a province where agrochemical application is prevalent. A questionnaire survey, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and observations from farmers were used for programme monitoring. Farmers reported that soil quality was improved after applying compost, and more beneficial insects were found after integrated pest management techniques were applied. The amount of agrochemicals applied to farmlands decreased compared to usage before the project start, implying that the project was successful in promoting sustainable agriculture in the province. During the COVID-19 pandemic, communities in the project areas are struggling to cope with food and health insecurity. The intervention has helped communities become more resilient during this hard time. After 3 years, many of the approximate 1500 farmers involved in the project are applying organic fertilisers and enhancing agricultural biodiversity in their farmlands. This case is a grassroots-level activity, but the concept of multi-stakeholder activities for agricultural biodiversity conservation can be replicated in other areas of Cambodia for achieving the sustainable development goals.

Abstract:
Due to the anisotropic nature of fibre-reinforced laminates, thermally-induced internal stresses can remain in the material after manufacture. Mismatches between coefficients of thermal expansion are especially prominent in thin shells with fewer plies or large angle variations. Such stresses cause out-of-plane warping and are therefore often deliberately avoided. Utilising their effects on structural behaviour however, can enable stiffness-tailored composite compliant mechanisms. Work detailed in this paper aims to exploit thermal prestress to reduce the torsional stiffness of cross-ply tape laminate springs. An extension of an analytical tape spring model with composite thermal analysis is presented, which shows that thermal effects cause significant changes to the energy landscapes of thin composite shells. Tape springs that would otherwise be monostable structures become bistable and exhibit greater ranges of low-energy twisting when thermally-induced prestress is present. Predicted shell geometries are compared with finite element models and manufactured samples, showing good agreement between all approaches. The limited feasibility of zero torsional stiffness composite tape springs is discussed, as well as wider challenges involved in manufacturing prestressed composite compliant mechanisms such as fibre misalignment and moisture ingress.

Abstract:
This paper is part of research under development, which aims to define a set of criteria and/or parameters in the fields of design and communication, to enhance the sustainability of Low-Density Territories, through the recognition of their identity and their distinctive signs.Thus, this article aims to know if the colour is constituted as a distinctive sign and contributes to the identity of the territory.According to studies developed by several authors over the past few years, the distinctive signs, whether tangible or intangible, are identifying and differentiating elements that ensure ethical and fair competition, which encourages sustainability. They can contribute decisively to the construction of a region's iconography, the reaffirmation of its territorial imprint and are a stimulus to territorial development. In the context of signs and place identity comes the concept of genius loci, or spirit of place, created by Norberg-Schulz, which refers to the distinctiveness that characterises each place.As long as there is light, colour is in every landscape we see. Whether they are, or not, worked, by Man, each landscape holds a palette that is composed of the colours that compose it: sky, vegetation, soil, rocks, buildings, signs, among others.For Simon Bell (1993), despite the chromatic variability that landscapes present, they are associated to a limited scale of colours, a fact that facilitates the definition of a local identity.Talking about local identity, as far as colour is concerned, leads to the concept of Colore Loci, which derives from the previously mentioned Genius Loci, created by Raimondo, to demonstrate the unique characteristics of a given place.In order to achieve the established objective, three types of landscape were identified: Natural Landscape, characterized by being able to have, or not, human intervention, but where the action of nature prevails and where the presence of construction is very reduced or even null; Landscape built by Man using local natural resources, refers, for example, to urban agglomerations where local materials are used to build, i.e. where local stone is used for the design of streets and pavements, for the cladding of buildings, or for the construction of exposed stone walls; and Painted Landscape, which is one that, regardless of whether or not it uses materials from the region, stands out for its deliberate use of artificial colours, which make these landscapes unmistakable.Through the analysis carried out it was possible to conclude that colour is even a distinctive sign of the territory, since each place has different types of heritage, natural and built, and these give the landscape distinctive shades, through permanent and non-permanent colours. However, and turning the focus to the valuation and attractiveness of the territories, which is the central theme of the doctoral research, it can be stated that the colour, and its use, can also create the identity of a place, and thus enhance it and make it attractive, since according to the analysis carried out, the spaces created by colour (the painted landscapes) are the most visited.

Situated at the intersection of two nations, embedded in a mountainside and televised across the US, Sun Bowl Stadium in El Paso,Texas demonstrates the role of architecture in the political economy of representation.The hills that compose the stadium and its televisual image are part building, landscape, and media apparatus. A Feigned Translucence builds on this hybridity to challenge the discrepancy in social, political, and economic agency the US/Mexico border creates as well as the imaginations of sovereignty and capital circulation embedded in who/what is (in)visible from the stadium, to whom it is visible, and to what end.
