Full textAbstract:
Traps are tools frequently used to monitor and control pests. Therefore, it is important to study the prerequisites of their use. The instant active area of a trap (the instantly available area of a trap that is able to capture a pest) is a determinant of trap efficacy. However, to measure the instant active trap area is difficult. Therefore, we developed a technique of computer image analysis of digital photography to evaluate the instant active trap area, occupancy (area of insect bodies captured on the trap) and contamination (area of filth left by pests on the trap, such as wing-scales or faeces) of it. This study illustrates its use with two types of sticky traps applied to monitor the German cockroach, Blattella germanica, and the Mediterranean flour moth, Ephestia kuehniella. We found that moths decreased the capacity of the sticky surface more than cockroaches because of its contamination by wing-scales. The sticky trap area covered by wing-scales was nearly as large as the area occupied by moth bodies. Cockroaches contaminated the sticky surface by their faeces but the contaminated area was less than 2% of the area occupied by cockroach bodies. The results indicate that moths are heavy contaminators while cockroaches are weak contaminators of sticky traps.

Full textAbstract:
Monitoring the illegally occupied channels is very important for the management and regulations of reservoirs. This paper proposes an automatic and efficient approach to identify the changes in the river course with geographic information system and global position system using multi-temporal remote sensing images. Unlike the traditional river course monitoring system, this approach is mainly based on the change detection information extracting from multi-temporal high spatial resolution remote sensing images. Firstly, change detection from different information of multi-temporal remote sensing images are applied to obtain the change information thematic maps which can be used as working maps for on-site investigation are extracted. Secondly, GPS-RTK measurement technology is used to obtain 3-D position information of the terrain features points in those channel occupied areas. Then, an approach for calculating the volume of the channel occupied area is designed and developed by ArcGIS software using multi-temporal remote sensing images, 3-D position information and historical digital terrain date of channel occupied area. Finally, channel occupied area volume data and thematic maps are acquired by ArcGIS software. The data of reservoir is selected as experimental area, and the experiments have confirmed the high efficiency and accuracy of this approach proposed in this paper.

Among the species cultivated in Mato Grosso do Sul, the area with soybeans is larger than that only for pasture cultivation. This work was developed in fourteen municipalities of the state. Based on information from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), the evolution of the area occupied by soybean, pasture and sugarcane in these municipalities was analysed. In particular, the area cultivated with soybeans has shown constant and significant growth. On the other hand, the pasture area has been continuously decreasing, especially in Ponta Porã, Maracaju and Rio Brilhante. The areas previously occupied with pastures are giving way to soy and sugarcane cultivation.

The objective is to study the space a wheelchair passenger would use in the preferential waiting areas of an urban railway platform. For this purpose, an analysis of the variables that interfere in the space occupied by a wheelchair user was carried out at Metro de Santiago platforms, to design a preferential prototype waiting area at the Human Dynamics Laboratory of the Universidad de los Andes (Chile). The prototype has a 3.0 m long and 2.5 m wide carriage, together with a preferential waiting area on the platform of the same length as the carriage, and 2.0 m wide. With this prototype defined, a detection method was developed using PeTrack software, to accurately identify the limits of the space occupied by a wheelchair user under two scenarios of different density levels in the preferential waiting area: medium-density (1.5 passengers/m2) and high-density (4.0 passengers/m2). It was observed that the space occupied by a wheelchair user decreased by 33% as the density increased from medium to high. On the other hand, for a high-density level, the space occupied by a wheelchair user was found to be 61% higher than that occupied by a passenger without reduced mobility. This variation occurred mainly because passengers increased their distance from the wheelchair user, which widened their area of influence. Further experiments are proposed as future research to extend this analysis using other density situations.

Full textAbstract:
Segmentation is one of the most important steps in microscopy image analysis. Unfortunately, most of the methods use fluorescence images for this task, which is not suitable for analysis that requires a knowledge of area occupied by cells and an experimental design that does not allow necessary labeling. In this protocol, we present a simple method, based on edge detection and morphological operations, that separates total area occupied by cells from the background using only brightfield channel image. The resulting segmented picture can be further used as a mask for fluorescence quantification and other analyses. The whole procedure is carried out in open source software Fiji.

Full textAbstract:
The swept area of a two-dimensional object undergoing motion in its plane of definition is the union of the area occupied by the object at all positions during the motion. A methodology for determining a close approximation to an exact swept area of a convex object with a known arbitrary motion is developed here. The resulting swept areas are used as constraints in the geometric design of the links in an interference-free complex planar mechanism. Criteria for determining individual points falling on the border of the swept area are derived from envelope theory. These points are determined at a reference position of the sweeping body using generalized moving centrodes. The swept area is constructed from these points plus sections of the border of the moving body at some selected positions. Overlap of the swept area onto itself, caused by the body moving back to an area which it occupied previously, is processed by dividing the overall swept area into sub swept areas which are free of overlap. An eleven-step swept area generation algorithm is presented along with an example.

Bouris, Dimitris. "State-building without a state : the European Union's role in the occupied Palestinian territories after the Oslo Accords." Thesis, University of Warwick, 2011. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/49606/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this thesis is to shed light on the distinctive role of the European Union (EU) as a state-builder in the case of the Occupied Palestinian Territories (OPTs). The thesis engages with distinctive literatures on liberal peace, peacebuilding, state-building, the EU and conflict resolution as well as Security and Judiciary Sector Reform. By synthesizing these literatures this research will try to test the EU effectiveness in the state-building project in the OPTs by reference to two main case studies: the EU’s initiatives in the domains of Security Sector Reform (SSR) and Judiciary Sector Reform (JSR) while at the same time addressing issues of the broader governance agenda and the rule of law. Thus, the broader liberal peace and peacebuilding literature will help contextually to understand how state-building has been used as a tool for implementing the liberal peace, the distinctive literature on state-building will help to identify the ‘core’ state functions that institutions established should be able to run and the literature on conflict resolution will help to identify all tools and mechanisms that the EU has at its disposal in order to ‘build’ states. By drawing on these literatures, this thesis will set three criteria on which the effectiveness of the EU as a state-builder will be tested namely generation of legitimacy, coherence and regulation of violence/ability of enforcement. The thesis is mainly empirically-oriented (drawing on almost 100 interviews that were conducted with EU, Israeli and Palestinian officials) and will focus on the two civilian missions that the EU has deployed in the OPTs (EUPOL COPPS and EUBAM Rafah) in order to help the Palestinian Authority reform its security sector as well as initiatives in the domains of judiciary sector reform and the rule of law (Seyada Project). The main argument of the thesis is that the EU has approached the state-building project from a technical aspect without linking it with clear political decisions and objectives. As a result, while initiatives in the domains of SSR and JSR have helped the PA improve the situation on the ground this was done at the expense of democracy and political objectives that would contribute to the ending of the Israeli Occupation.

Full textAbstract:
Children living in vulnerability as living on the street has been a well discussed issue for a long time. The importance of addressing the factors of why children are living in vulnerability along with what concrete actions that can be taken to help these children to a safer life have formed the ground for this study. I conducted five semi-structured interviews with adults working with children and youth living in vulnerability in São Paulo, such as living in an occupied building so called occupation, in a slum area so called favela or on the streets. To receive a deeper understanding of the issue, four observations related to the different vulnerable living conditions were implemented. There are several factors found in the study that are arguing for the fact that children living in favelas or in an occupation are living well and are not living in vulnerability. The social movement engaged in these situations is providing the children with housing and other social rights, such as education and personal growth. On the other hand, there are numerous factors found in the study that confirms that children that are living on the street are living in vulnerability, since they get exposed to situations of violence, crime, drugs etcetera. One of the main reasons found in the study of why children are living on the streets in São Paulo are because they run away as a consequence of abuse or maltreatment. Another main reason is that they are kicked out or sent to the streets by their parents due to moral issues, for example unwanted pregnancy or homosexuality, or to earn money for the family, respectively. Overall, the study revealed that there are laws, public policies and social programs to guarantee children’s and youth’s rights, such as the constitution of children and adolescent rights. These have not been implemented properly or the people that have the right to access the policies or programs are not aware of them. Another conclusion drawn from the study is that there are some concrete actions that can be taken to help children and youth living in vulnerability in São Paulo to a better life. For example, that they should be provided with housing, education and social rights. To enable this, the government should refund the social programs that they have been cutting funding from, such as Bolsa Família [a Brazilian social welfare program for poor families].

Modelos de ocorrência e abundância de espécies são importantes ferramentas para a elaboração de estrategias para a conservação da biodiversidade. Nestes artigos aplicamos, pela primeira vez, modelos de distribuição e abundância no entorno de uma Usina Hidroelétrica no Sul do Brasil, com o objetivo de mostrar possíveis aplicações destas técnicas no planejamento de ações de coleta e conservação, in situ e ex situ, destas espécies. Nossos objetivos secundários foram (i) modelar a ocorrência e abundância de plantas em um trecho da bacia do rio Pelotas e (ii) verificar o efeito da detectabilidade em modelos de ocorrência. Para tanto dividimos a tese em dois capítulos e cinco questões. No primeiro capítulo procuramos responder as seguintes questões: (1) existe relação entre a probabilidade de ocorrência e a abundância observada? (2) Modelos baseados na abundância são melhores para predizer a ocorrência de espécies do que modelos baseados apenas na ocorrência das espécies? No segundo capítulo, tentamos responder se (3) amostragens exaustivas, com presenças e ausências bem descritas, produzem modelos de ocorrência mais precisos? (4) Se a relação entre a ocorrência da espécie e as variáveis ambientais que descrevem sua distribuição é alterada de acordo com a detectabilidade? (5) Qual o impacto de falsos zeros na área ocupada estimada para a espécie? O trabalho foi realizado no entorno da UHE Barra Grande, erguida no rio Pelotas, entre os Estados de Santa Catarina e Rio Grande do Sul. Localizada na bacia do rio Pelotas, seu reservatório ocupa uma área de aproximadamente 90 km2 e seu entorno perfaz uma área aproximada de 4.600 km2, onde amostramos 388 parcelas georreferenciadas (10 x 50 m) distribuídas aleatoriamente. Em cada parcela contamos o número de indivíduos de nove espécies arborescente com altura ≥ 1,5 m. No primeiro artigo, modelamos, utilizando modelos lineares generalizados (GLM), a distribuição e abundância das nove espécies estudadas em relação a 15 variáveis ambientais, e demonstramos que modelos de ocorrência são mais precisos do que modelos de abundância. Demonstramos também que a probabilidade de ocorrência é positivamente correlacionada com a abundância observada, o que abre a possibilidade de utilizarmos a probabilidade de ocorrência como um indicador da abundância das espécies. No segundo capítulo, verificamos o impacto de falhas de detecção em modelos de distribuição de espécies, utilizando como espécie modelo A. angustifolia. Simulamos o impacto de falsos zeros na precisão dos modelos, na seleção das variáveis resposta (variáveis ambientais) e nas estimativas de área ocupada pela espécie. A redução da detectabilidade ocasionou alterações tanto na precisão dos modelos quanto na área estimada de ocorrência e nas variáveis ambientais que explicam a ocorrência de A. angustifolia. A área ocupada não apresentou padrão bem definido, porém mostrou tendência de elevação de acordo com a diminuição da detectabilidade, elevando com isso o erro de comissão dos modelos. A precisão dos modelos (AUC e correlação entre probabilidade de ocorrência e abundância observada), apresentou queda em relação ao redução da detectabilidade, enquanto apenas uma variável ambiental foi incluída em todos os modelos (pH do solo). Existe um grande possibilidade de uso destas técnicas como informação básica para planos de conservação, monitoramento e manejo da biodiversidade no entorno de empreendimentos hidroelétricos, porém, para que possamos tirar inferências fortes sobre as espécies e ecossistemas em questão, devemos observar sempre a necessidade de levar em conta os impactos da detecção imperfeita das espécies.<br>Species occurrence and abundance models are important tools in the development of biodiversity conservation strategies. This study presents, for the first time, the application of distribution and abundance models in the environment surrounding a hydropower dam in southern Brazil. The aim is to demonstrate the possible application of these techniques in planning collection and conservation strategies of the species inhabiting the area, in situ and ex situ. We also aimed at (i) modeling the occurrence and abundance of plants in a section of the Pelotas River basin and (ii) verifying the effect of detectability in occurrence models. This thesis was therefore divided into two chapters and five questions. The first chapter is an attempt to answer the following questions: (1) Is there a relationship between occurrence probability and abundance? (2) Are models based on abundance better to predict the occurrence of species as compared to models that utilize only species occurrence? The second chapter addresses the questions: (3) Do exhaustive sampling procedures, with well-sampled presences and absences, lead to more accurate occurrence models? (4) Does detectability influence the relationship between species occurrence and environmental variables? (5) What is the impact of false zeros in the estimated area occupied by one given species? This study was conducted in the area surrounding the hydropower plant “Barra Grande”, in the Pelotas River, on the border of the Rio Grande do Sul and Santa Catarina states. Located in the Pelotas River basin, the dam occupies an area of approximately 90 km². The surrounding area accounts for 4,600 km², where 388 plots with 10 x 50 m were randomly distributed and georeferenced. In each plot, individuals of nine selected tree species taller than 1.5 m were surveyed. In the first paper, we modeled the distribution and abundance of the species studied using generalized linear models (GLMs), utilizing 15 environmental variables. Occurrence models were proved to be more accurate than abundance models. The positive correlation between occurrence probability and observed abundance was also demonstrated, which opens the possibility to utilize occurrence probability as an indicator of species abundance. The second chapter reports the impact of failures in detection in species distribution models, using A. angustifolia as model species. We simulated the impact of false zeros in model accuracy, in the selection of response variables (environmental variables) and in estimates of the area occupied by A. angustifolia. The decrease in detectability caused changes in both model accuracy and in the environmental variables that explain the occurrence of A. angustifolia. The area occupied did not have a well-defined pattern, though it showed a trend towards elevation, in accordance with the decrease in detectability, thus raising the commission error in the model. The accuracy of models (AUC and correlation between occurrence probability and observed abundance) decreased with the decrease in detectability, while only one environmental variable was included in all models (soil pH). These techniques offer great potential in the collection of essential information in biodiversity conservation, monitoring and managements strategies in hydropower projects. However, robust inferences about species and ecosystems in question can only be drawn considering the need to evaluate the impact caused by defective species detection.

Full textAbstract:
Bats occupy diverse and unique niches and are regarded as important components in maintaining ecosystem health. They are major consumers of nocturnal insects, serve as pollinators, seed disperser, and provide important economic benefits as consumers of agricultural and forest pest insects. Bats have been proposed as good indicators of the integrity of natural communities because they integrate a number of resource attributes and may show population declines quickly if a resource attribute is missing. Establishing community- and population-level data, and understanding species interactions is especially important in changing landscapes and for species whose populations levels are threatened by outside factors of anthropomorphic disturbance from hibernacular visitation to energy production and fungal pathogens. For these reasons I have set out to establish habitat use patterns, detection probabilities, spatial and temporal occupancy, and investigate species interactions. This thesis is broken down into three distinct chapters each intended to be a stand-alone document. The first establishes the basic ecology from natural history accounts, provides an overview of the various sampling strategies, and gives a comprehensive description of the study area. The seconds sets out to identify the factors influencing detection probabilities and occupancy of six sympatric bats species and provide insight into habitat use patterns. The third examines spatial and temporal activity patterns and investigates species interactions. This study can provide understanding into the secretive and poorly understood patterns of free flying bats across the landscape. It can also deliver useful information to land managers regarding potential changes in landscape practices for the conservation of bat species.<br>Master of Science

Full textAbstract:
During the Second World War, with the failure of the German invasion of the Soviet Union to maintain its momentum, large areas of captured Russian territory remained under German Army jurisdiction for the entire duration of the conflict; rather than being turned over to National Socialist civilian administrators. Evidence drawn from the files of two of the military government rear areas (KorOcks) is used in order to consider the institutional response of the Army towards this unanticipated problem. Methodological approaches associated with 'history from below' are combined with orthodox 'history from above' in order to reassess the findings of secondary literature on the topic. Particular consideration is given to primary data which describes the war from the perspective of the German soldiers who conducted policy on the ground. Initially, the controversial historical debate which has developed as to the Wehrmacht's role in the occupied areas is discussed and set against the wider background of the place of the armed forces within the Third Reich. The character and organisation of military government in the Soviet Union is then described so as to indicate the complex and difficult conditions under which the German troops operated. Following on from this, a range of diverse issues are discussed, including economic policy, anti-partisan warfare, the treatment of Soviet prisoners of war, army relations with the civilian population, Wehrmacht co-operation with the SS, criminal behaviour amongst the German soldiers, and troop morale and fighting power. A number of highly critical interpretations of Wehrmacht activities are thus re-evaluated; especially those which emphasise the extent to which members of the German armed forces were influenced primarily by ideological considerations. Overall, while full regard is given to the weight of evidence which seeks to demythologise 'apologist' arguments that deny the calculated involvement of the German Army in the racial war of annihilation conducted in the East, equal attention is drawn to the varied responses and conduct of the German troops directly involved in implementing such policies. Accordingly, due regard is also given to the importance of social, socio- psychological and institutional factors in influencing individual and group behaviour within the Third Reich.

Full textAbstract:
Racial and ethnic residential segregation are persistent features of urban areas throughout the world. This study focuses on the search behaviour of owner occupier households in the Belfast Urban Area, an area segregated on the basis of religion. The study was initiated under the premise that household search behaviour was important in the context of a spatially segregated housing market, and is a research area that has been neglected at least as far as Belfast is concerned. The overall aim of the research is to develop a better understanding of how owner occupied households made their housing choices against such a segregated background. For many years, the literature has recognised the two-way relationship between mobility and urban form and, at the same time, it has acknowledged that residential decision making is inherently conservative in nature. The US evidence on racial search and mobility behaviour indicates that such behaviour is supportive of the existing patterns of separate living. This observation set up the basic proposition for this study; namely, Catholic searchers in the BUA will exhibit search behaviour similar to that of black households in comparably segregated urban areas in the United States. The literature on racial differences in search suggests that black household search is less efficient and more costly than that of whites. In particular, blacks are seen to search for longer than whites, during which time they view a similar number or fewer dwellings, but over a more restricted range of areas. In terms of information use, the evidence is that black households make extensive use of existing information channels. In particular, informal sources such as friends and relatives, which serve to reinforce the localised nature of search, and estate agents are important sources of information for minority searchers. The evidence is also clear that black households tend to end up in black areas.

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>建築學系<br>89<br>This thesis, based on 21 Ancestral Halls in Liu-Tui Area, attempts to probe into the formation of the Ancestral Halls during the Japanese Occupied Period (1895-1945). On the basis of the social background about the formation of Ancestral Halls and the status of Gong-Chang Organization, this thesis interprets the architectural characteristics of Ancestral Halls in Liu-Tui Area.
From this study, we can realize that an ancestral hall was a building formed by the operation of Gong-Chang Organization and that the establishment of an ancestral hall was an index important enough for those who wanted to dwell in Taiwan. When an ancestral hall was built, the members of organizations, with attempts to make their offspring live better, always emphasized Feng-Shui, a knowledge to decide the siting of their ancestral halls. As one of the ritual architecture, the ancestral halls was an outcome of ritual system because more than a half of ancestral halls in Liu-Tui Area were integrated in the function of residence, the ancestral halls in Liu-Tui Area were used not only by all people in the clan and Gong-Chang, but also by the residents in the ancestral hall. Although the design of an ancestral hall was primarily considered for all members in the lineage, the residents who lived in ancestral halls used the ancestral halls mostly. Through the discussion Feng-Shui and the regulations of construction, we can understand that the residents and the builders in Liu-Tui Area regard the ancestral hall as a house for human being--yangzhai（陽宅）.
Gong-Chang, Ancestral Halls, people’s religious beliefes, and ways of using the ancestral halls represent the local characteristic of Liu-Tui Area. Besides strengthening their respect for ancestors, the establishment of the ancestral hall accomplishes the ultimate ideal for the lineage.

碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>建築學系碩博士班<br>95<br>The decoration of the architecture is usually expressed with the concept of the age. It be communicated the different part of the life space. The influences of period on materials are self-evident. A sense of ancestral halls is a relationship between the folk buildings and temples. Folk building is a life space of human beings, so that which decorations express regular existence. However, temple is a residence of Buddha, for this reason these decorations of temple depends on the faith district. Therefore, the study questions are: How to express the ancestral qualities? How to communicate the concepts to descendants? And how differentiate from population? It set out to research into those decorations between the Han ancestral halls and temples.
The study of era focus on the Japanese occupied period where scopes are Tainan and Pingdong area. Methodology of study is following: First, gives the definitions in populations. Second, institute a system of the decoration to study the subject matter. Third, probe into the correlations of the decoration and the ancestral qualities. Finally, differentiate the decoration from population.

Full textAbstract:
Nowadays is increasing the need to automate processes in the production
chain to improve results and perform tasks more quickly. This dissertation
intends to develop software to an autonomous robotic system
that allows measuring the occupied areas in a warehouse, a common
problem in situations where it is necessary to store uncontainable loads.
For software development to this type of robotic agent, it is necessary
to develop solutions for several complex problems in robotics: mapping,
localization and navigation.
In the proposed solution, the mapping is performed in two different
moments. Initially, a mapping is done with the objective of recognizing
the environment where the robot will circulate, using the map generated
in this phase. In this initial mapping, it is used the Gmapping
algorithm. In a second step, during the robot operation, another mapping
is done to locate and map the occupied places. In this case, we
develop some algorithms using the Point Cloud Library and Octomap
libraries.
The localization process is a requirement for the robot to operate
autonomously in a defined space. Several approaches were considered,
using an adaptive Monte Carlo localization approach. This active localization
process is important to minimize the errors that may arise in
the location of the robot, reducing also the errors of the second stage
of mapping.
This localization process is also fundamental so that the robot can
navigate autonomously up to a certain point on the map. However, it
is necessary to plot a route for the robot to follow. To generate the
route, the planning algorithm A* is applied.
At the end of this dissertation was developed a robotic system capable
of circulating in certain environments and verifying which areas were
occupied. Access to the data collected by the robot is possible through
a web interface, which allows consulting the map generated, the areas
occupied with data referring to each one, the real-time visualization of
the front area of the robot and the possibility of interacting with the
robot and can move it.<br>Cada vez mais surge a necessidade de automatizar os processos na

tarefas de forma mais rápida. Esta dissertação pretende desenvolver
um sistema robótico autônomo que permita medir as áreas ocupadas
num armazém, um problema comum em situações onde é necessário
armazenar cargas não contententorizadas. Para o desenvolvimento de
software para um agente robótico deste tipo é necessário desenvolver
soluções para vários problemas complexos em robótica: mapeamento,
localização e navegação.
Na solução proposta, o mapeamento é efetuado em dois momentos
distintos. Inicialmente é feito um mapeamento com o objetivo de reconhecer
o ambiente onde o robô vai circular posteriormente, utilizando
o mapa gerado nesta fase. Neste mapeamento inicial foi utilizado o
algoritmo Gmapping. Numa segunda etapa, durante o funcionamento
em produção do robô, é feito outro mapeamento com o objetivo de
localizar e representar no mapa os locais ocupados. Neste caso foram
desenvolvidos alguns algoritmos com recurso às bibliotecas Point Cloud
Library e Octomap.
O processo de localização é um requisito para que o robô possa navegar
autonomamente no espaço. Foram consideradas várias abordagens,
tendo sido utilizada uma abordagem adaptativa de localização
de Monte Carlo. Este processo de localização ativa é importante para
minimizar os erros que possam surgir na localização do robô, minimizando
os erros da segunda etapa de mapeamento.
Este processo de localização também é fundamental para que o robô
possa navegar de forma autônoma até um determinado ponto no mapa.
No entanto é necessário traçar um percurso para o robô seguir. Para
gerar o percurso é aplicado o algoritmo de planeamento A*.
No final desta dissertação foi desenvolvido um sistema robótico capaz
de circular em determinados ambientes e verificar que areas foram ocupadas.
O acesso aos dados recolhidos pelo robô são disponibilizados
através de uma interface web, que permite consultar o mapa gerado,
as áreas ocupadas com dados referentes a cada uma, a visualização em
tempo real da área frontal do robô e a possibilidade de interagir com
o robô podendo deslocá-lo.<br>Mestrado em Engenharia Eletrónica e Telecomunicações

Siedina, Giovanna, ed. Latinitas in the Polish Crown and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Firenze University Press, 2015. http://dx.doi.org/10.36253/978-88-6655-675-6.
Full textAbstract:
The volume contains articles concerning the influence of Latinitas in the territory now occupied by Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Belarus’. The articles, all published in English, range from history to literature and to cultural history and the history of ideas. They analyze the issue of building an identity, either real or imagined, from different points of view. Among the most interesting topics are the classical origins of myths and ideas that have helped build the national identities of those that constituted the ethnic mosaic of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the role of Neo-Latin poetry, as a conveyor of Latinitas, in the development of national identities. Because of the significance of Latinitas for both common European cultural traditions and the national cultures, literatures and languages of Belarus, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Latvia and Ukraine, it is to be hoped that the subject will continue to attract a good level of attention in the future.

Full textAbstract:
The landscape of the Netherlands has been changing constantly since the end of the last ice age, some 11,700 years ago. Where we walk today was once a polar desert, a river delta or a shallow sea. The end of the last ice age marked the beginning of a new geological period - the Holocene, the relatively warm geological epoch in which we are still living today. The Atlas of the Holocene Netherlands contains special maps, supplemented by archaeological and historical information. These maps show the geographical situation for thirteen different points in time since the last ice age, based on tens of thousands of drill samples and the latest geological, soil and archaeological research. This magnificent atlas also paints a surprising picture of the position we humans have occupied in the landscape. It addresses such questions as: How did we take advantage of the opportunities offered by the landscape? And how did we mould the landscape to suit our own purposes? The Atlas of the Holocene Netherlands will change once and for all the way you look at the Dutch landscape.

Full textAbstract:
Geographical space must be understood as a progressive and conscious construction in which the geographical elements and the relationships between the elements themselves are placed. From the post-World War II period and for the following twenty years, the coastal area has maintained an albeit minimal break with the man-made spaces; since the seventies of the last century, rapid industrial development has increasingly occupied the coasts. Among the most evident coastal territorial signs are the lighthouses. The analysis intends to reflect on the path of transformation of some coastal structures in Italy.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractWithin the several European analyses of spatial patterns, Belgium and Flanders take a specific position. The average ‘settlement area percentage’ (i.e., all land used beyond agriculture, semi-natural areas, forestry, and water bodies) for Europe is 4%, but 32% of the Flemish area is occupied with artificial land. Belgium has the highest score for urban-sprawl indicators, and within the European context, almost the entire area is considered urban. The aim of the research presented in this paper is to expand on the theme of indicators for spatial patterns by analyzing the Flemish area with detailed data across various scales. The results are collected in a report, the ‘Ruimterapport’— ‘RURA’, published in 2018. RURA is a bundling and compilation of research results from very diverse sources, amongst others studies from the Department of Environment and Spatial Development of Flanders and of Espon studies. This article presents the most important results from RURA and further positions them in international comparative literature. New maps and indicators are developed for the urban/peri-urban/rural dimensions of the human settlement area, urban sprawl, and settlement patterns by differentiating amongst others between urban centers, ribbon development, and scattered buildings. The paper gives a quantitative, methodological, and empirical contribution to the field of urban and regional development processes and contributes to conceptualizations of space. The case of Flanders, with its specific sprawl pattern, illustrates the difficulties spatial planning policy makers currently are facing, dealing with the complexity of space and society.

Full textAbstract:
Part II (Houses) is a cultural mapping of the spaces where immigrants live/d, that is, residential buildings that have been or are intrinsically linked to the migration experiences from/to Italy as well as so-called ethnic neighborhoods. The Aperture that opens this part focuses on an area of Rome, Piazza Vittorio, which has come to represent the immigrant hub of the capital. It explores the square—a quintessential Italian space—both for its role in nation building and for its several layers of immigrant occupation. Through the analysis of Agostino Ferrente’s 2006 documusical The Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio, which recounts the creative project of forming a multi-ethnic orchestra in this piazza, the chapter highlights an interesting example of how preoccupations over the presence of immigrants can be substituted by new visions. In an area where the very meaning of “ethnic neighborhood” can be mapped at a trans-national level (multi-multi-ethnic) given the diversity of the immigrants’ origin, Ferrente’s documusical reflects a post-national scenario of cultural co-existence within an ethical vision that interestingly offers, especially in its final climax, a “success” story.

Full textAbstract:
The paper addresses the need to examine the trade-offs between passenger safety and independence in travel by people who use wheeled mobility devices on passengers trains. It has been the practice in Asia, North America and Europe to not require passengers in wheeled mobility devices (WhMDs) such as wheelchairs to secure their wheeled devices when traveling by rail. There are several motivations for examining the need for containment of WhMDs on passenger trains. In general the population is aging and getting larger, and this is reflected in the types of WhMDs that passengers are trying to bring on board trains. The US Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) and members of the Rail Vehicle Access Advisory Committee (RVAAC) requested a feasibility study on the economic impacts of accommodating two or more wheeled mobility devices in the accessible seating area [1]. The feasibility study indicated that there is space to accommodate two WhMDs without significant impact on revenue seat loss, however safety issues have emerged, and are the basis of this paper. The three research questions that are addressed include: I. What is the appropriate interior space that accounts for WhMD maneuvering? II. What are the appropriate levels of deceleration and jerk to be considered in the vehicle interior for passenger rail vehicles under severe braking? III. What is the appropriate level of containment for occupied wheeled mobility devices on passenger rail vehicles? The paper examines research literature and other findings from both North America and Europe that address in part the research questions.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The swept area of a two dimensional object undergoing motion in its plane of definition is the union of the area occupied by the object at all positions during the motion. A methodology for determining a close approximation to an exact swept area for a known arbitrary motion is developed here. The methodology has use for preventing interference between links of a planar mechanism during synthesis. Criteria for determining individual points falling on the border of the swept area from the body during any instant of the motion are derived from envelope theory. Points on the swept area boundary are determined at the initial position of the sweeping body for computational efficiency. The swept area is constructed from these points plus sections of the border of the moving body at select positions. Overlap of the swept area onto itself is handled by splitting the overall swept area into a small number of individual swept areas free of overlap. An eleven-step swept area algorithm is clarified with an example.

Based on herbarium and literature data, chorological maps were produced for 47 species of the genus Cicer, this made it possible to clarify the natural boundaries of the species and genus ranges. The species richness map was produced using the method of grid mapping. It identified five geographically isolated areas of modern species diversity: North African, Anatolian-Mediterranean, East African, East of West Asian, Central Asian. Phytogeographic measures are given for each cluster, such as area occupied, total number of species and number of endemics. It was established that the hotspot of modern species diversity of genus Cicer is the mountains of Central Asia, and the maximum concentration area of species is the Pamir-Alai mountain system.

In ASME 2004 International Mechanical Engineering Congress and Exposition. ASMEDC, 2004. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2004-60763.
Full textAbstract:
In this study, computer simulations of rear impacts were performed with an available ATB (Articulated Total Body) computer code to demonstrate an efficient and accurate means for assessing safety performance and hazards associated with occupied front seat collapse into a rear seat area occupied by children. The analysis considered a wide range of different sized front-seated adults (i.e. 50 kg females to 110 kg males), various types of front seats with a range of ultimate collapse strengths (i.e. 3.5kN up to 12.5kN), and various impact severities with speed changes between 20 to 50 kph. A 3 year-old child was used as the model for the rear child surrogate seated in the backbench seat of a 2-door sedan. An actual vehicle crash pulse was used as the basis for the analysis pulses. After performing the computer analysis predictions, sled-buck experimental tests were run with the same parameter range, and a full vehicle interior, to validate the human model predictions. Predicted head accelerations for the rear seated child and the front-seated adult were compared with the test results. Good correlation was achieved for the predicted and test head accelerations, as well as the resultant “head injury criteria” curves with actual accident cases of injured children.

Full textAbstract:
The Mulberry Harbours were used to support Operation Overlord, the invasion of occupied Europe, in 1944. This paper reviews the design of the breakwaters used, given the major advances made in ocean engineering and wave dynamics made over the last half century. The expected sea state is estimated and compared to the original design parameters. The failure mechanisms associated with the Phoenix caissons are discussed. The engineering decisions on the floating Bombardon breakwaters are considered; the authors conclude that some of the units were positioned in an area where unusually high waves could be expected, which may have contributed to their failure.

In Afghanistan, the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT) and Yemen, women’s rights organizations are leading efforts to realize the Women, Peace and Security (WPS) agenda, in spite of ongoing conflict, insecurity and occupation. But without national duty bearers and international actors stepping up to meet their commitments, implement National Action Plans (NAPs) and provide resources and support, the full potential of the agenda will not be reached. This briefing paper explores challenges, lessons learned and opportunities related to realizing the WPS agenda, and makes recommendations to a range of national and international stakeholders on how to support its implementation in Afghanistan, OPT and Yemen.

Full textAbstract:
This article seeks to analyze the Colombian labor market during the COVID-19 crisis to explore its effect on labor market gender gaps. The country offers an interesting setting for analysis because, as most countries in the Global South, it has an employment market that combines formal and informal labor, which complicates the nature of the pandemic's aftermath. Our exploration offers an analysis that highlights the crisis's effects as in a downward staircase fall that mainly affects women compared to men. We document a phenomenon that we will call a "female staircase fall." Women lose status in the labor market; the formal female workers' transition to informal jobs, occupied women fall to unemployment, and the unemployed go to inactivity; therefore, more and more women are relegated to domestic work. We also study how women’s burden of unpaid care has increased due to the crisis, affecting their participation in paid employment.

Full textAbstract:
Estuaries trap much of the fine sediment delivered to them by rivers. This phenomenon presents challenges to the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) navigation mission, which maintains navigable waterways for waterborne commerce through estuarine regions. The USACE Regional Sediment Management Program and the USACE Norfolk District are conducting a regional sediment transport modeling study to identify cost-effective sediment management schemes in the James River, a tributary estuary of Chesapeake Bay. A key element of the sediment transport modeling study is the definition of cohesive sediment transport processes, such as erosion and settling velocity. This report describes field-based measurements of cohesive sediment erosion and settling velocity conducted in November 2017. The team conducted erosion testing on 15 cores collected throughout the tidal system. Additionally, two anchor stations were occupied to measure tidal variations in vertical distributions of suspended sediment concentration, particle size, and settling velocity. Recommended cohesive sediment transport parameters were developed from the field measurements.

Research methodology. The following methods were used in this research: general scientific methods (descriptive, analysis, synthesis, comparison) and special (structural, hermeneutic, narrative, method of content analysis). We identified words related to the concept of the enemy and determined the context in which they are used by the authors of the collections Results. The formats of reflection of military reality in collections of military documentaries are investigated. It is emphasized that the authors-observers of events as professional communicators form a vision of events based on categories understandable to the audience – «own» and «others». Instead, the authors-participants go events have more creative space and pay more attention to their own emotional state and reflections. It is defined how the enemy is depicted and what place he occupies in the military reality represented by the authors. It is emphasized that the authors reflect the enemy in different ways. In particular, the authors-observers of the events tried to form a comprehensive vision of the events, and therefore paid much attention to the opposite side of the military conflict. Authors-participants of the events tend to show the enemy as a mass to be opposed. In such collections, the enemy is specified only in the presence of evidence confirming the presence of Russians or militants. Novelty. The research for the first time investigates the methods of representation of military activity in the collections of Ukrainian military documentaries. The article is devoted to the analysis of how the authors represent the enemy. Practical importance. The analysis of collections of military documentaries will allow to study the phenomenon of war and to trace the peculiarities of the authors’ representation of military reality.

Full textAbstract:
This report describes a particular situation of young population in Romania: the population of NEETs, with a focus on rural NEETs.Based on a complex methodology which uses data from different national sources (INS) and international sources (Eurostat, EU Labour Force Survey-EU-LFS, OECD),this report gives an overview of the evolution and particularities of NEETs in Romania during the previous deca-de, namely 2009-2019.Within the last ten years, the population of NEETs in Romania has grown rapidly, placing Ro-mania in first place in the EU-28 in terms of the share of this population among the young population. Thus, in 2009 Romania with a NEET rate of 13.9%, occupied first places in the EU, along with Bulgaria (19.5%), Italy (17.5%), Latvia (17.5%) (Eurostat, 2020). A decade later, in Bulgaria and Latvia, the NEET rate decreased significantly to 13.7% and 7.9%, respectively, but in Romania and Italy it increased by more than 1pp: 14.7% in Romania and 18.1% in Italy. (Eurostat, 2020). The causes for this are both individual (way of life, socio-familial origin, expectations and aspirations) and socio-economic (accessibility of the education system, development of lifelong learning, correspondence between education and labour market demand, particu-larities of the Romanian labour market, socio-economic policies supported by central and local authorities, etc.)
