The Link Between Communicative Intelligence and Procedural Justice
Authors: Mitchell Renée J. , Von Zoller Kendall
Published: December 2018

The public's perception of police legitimacy is viewed through the lens of procedural justice (Tyler, 2003). Legitimacy it is a perception held by an audience (Tankebe & Liebling, 2013). Tyler (2006, p. 375) defines legitimacy as “a psychological property of an authority, institution, or social arrangement that leads those connected to it to believe that it is appropriate, proper, and just.” Four aspects of the police contact that affects a citizen's view: active participation in the decision-making, the decision-making is neutral and objective, trustworthy motives, and being treated with dignity and respect (Tyler, 2004). Accordingly an officer should act in a way that supports citizen's active participation, conveys an air of neutrality, and enhances dignity and respect. One way an officer can transmit his intent is through communicative intelligence. Communicative intelligence is a communication theory based on five capabilities (Zoller, 2015). These authors intend to link communicative intelligence to behaviors officers should engage in to enhance PJ and improve PL.
Critical Incident Interventions
Authors: Brucia Emily , Cordova Matthew J. , Ruzek Josef I.
Published: December 2018

Police officers are exposed to many critical incidents throughout their careers. This chapter discusses critical incident exposure and psychological sequelae in police officers, police culture, obstacles to mental health care, currently utilized early interventions, existing research for these approaches, alternative evidence-based early interventions, emerging models, and directions for future research. Given the frequency and potential impact of critical incidents, early intervention for exposed police officers is of central importance. One of the most commonly utilized group early interventions, Critical Incident Stress Debriefing (CISD), has limited empirical support, such that some departments are being advised against its use. That said, there are important challenges in identifying better, evidence-based alternatives.
UK-Based Police Officers' Perceptions of, and Role in Investigating, Cyber-Harassment as a Crime
Authors: Millman Catherine M. , Winder Belinda , Griffiths Mark D.
Published: December 2018

Within the UK, cyber-harassment is a criminal act and perpetrators can be prosecuted if the crime is reported to the police. Cyber-harassment has a detrimental impact and causes psychological distress to victims but due to its online nature, complaints made may not be taken seriously and the impact may not be fully acknowledged. Police officers' perceptions of this crime and its victims are crucial as this will impact on how the crime is investigated and whether perpetrators are prosecuted. The present exploratory study aimed to gain insight into how cyber-harassment is investigated and identify issues and barriers. Eight police officers based in the United Kingdom were recruited using a snowball technique to participate in semi-structured interviews. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis and three themes were identified: online accessibility, threat, and the unhelpful victim. Each theme is discussed in relation to theory, policy and legislation within the UK.
Transnational and Cross-Cultural Approaches in Undercover Police Work
Authors: Irwin John , Normore Anthony H.
Published: December 2018

Undercover operatives have for decades attempted to interact with and expose criminal activity in identified criminal sub-culture groups of their same ethnic backgrounds, potential criminal participants in diverse ethnic cultural groups other than their own ethnic background, and cross-cultural groups made up of people from different ethnic groups. Through our combined professional experiences (e.g., leadership professor, undercover law enforcement, criminal justice, research, inmate instructor, ethics professors) and having lived and worked in various parts of the world (e.g., Canada, US, UK, Europe, South East and Central Asia) our chapter examines undercover police work and provides a view to cross-cultural issues that exist on both the enforcement and suspect sides of police investigation. A variety of transnational and cross-border ethical issues are examined in undercover work (e.g. trickery, entrapment) along with landmark court cases in an effort to compare and contrast international approaches to undercover operatives. Future directions concerning international collaboration are presented.
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome and Prone Positioning
Authors: Mitchell Dannette A. , Seckel Maureen A.
Published: December 2018

Acute respiratory distress syndrome continues to have high morbidity and mortality despite more than 50 years of research. The Berlin definition in 2012 established risk stratification based on degree of hypoxemia and the use of positive end-expiratory pressure. The use of prone positioning as a treatment modality has been studied for more than 40 years, with recent studies showing an improvement in oxygenation and decreased mortality. The studies also provide evidence to support the methodology and length of treatment time. Recent guidelines include several ventilator strategies for acute respiratory distress syndrome, including prone positioning. Protocols and procedures discussed in this article ensure successful prone repositioning and prevention of complications related to the procedure itself.
Recovery of skeletal elements and extended wing from a mounted specimen of the nearly extinct Slender-billed Curlew (Numenius tenuirostris)
Authors: Pavia Marco , Boano Gion
Published: December 2018

The Slender-billed Curlew (Numenius tenuirostris) is a very rare Palaearctic Scolopacidae, classified Critically Endangered by the IUCN, with the last accepted record in 2001. In the museum collections, it is commonly preserved with mounted specimens and study skins, but only two skeletons have been reported in the world. Here we present the re-preparation of a mounted specimen from the collection of the Museo di Zoologia of the Torino University in order to obtain as much osteological material as possible. This practice, especially with rare or extinct species, is recommended in different papers to maximize the value of the museum specimens and remedy the lack of skeletal elements of very rare or extinct species.
[Sightings of Purple Sandpiper Calidris maritima in Italy, a review]
Authors: Sighele Maurizio
Published: December 2018

[Through detailed investigation of both published and unpublished data, Italian records of Purple Sandpiper Calidris maritima have been researched. No records of this species can be traced for nearly 70 years in Italy, between 1907 and 1975, while it was frequently reported (even if scarce) in the late 19th century. There have been 55 records, both published and unpublished, more than twice as many as in previous reviews, and any errors found have been corrected. Differences between historical and recent (last 50 years) records have been evaluated, and show above all a recent presence of wintering individuals (an almost unknown occurrence in the past), and a greater frequency in coastal environments.]

The role of peri-urban wetland and meadow habitats in the protection of trans-Saharan migrant passerine species in a central European city
Authors: Kopij Grzegorz
Published: December 2018

Densities were estimated for several passerine longdistance migrant species associated with peri-urban wetlands and meadows in the city of Wroclaw (293 km2), SW Poland. Acrocephalus arundinaceus, A. scirpaceus, Locustella naevia and Lanius collurio nested in a crude density of more than 0.2 pairs/territorial males per 100 ha. The group of four other species (Saxicola torquatus, Locustella fluviatilis, L. luscinioides and Acrocephalus schoenobaenus) bred in a crude density between 1.1 and 1.5 pairs per 10 km2. The least numerous were the Sylvia nisoria (0.06 pairs per 100 ha) and Remiz pendulinus (0.02 pairs per 100 ha). Most of these species nested in the city in higher crude density than in a neighbouring rural area, richer of suitable habitats. Most breeding pairs occupied extensive peri-urban wetlands and meadows. These habitats could play an important role in conservation of these trans-Saharan migrants, as well as other water and marshland bird species. Such habitats are postulated to be protected as nature reserves or Special Protection Areas of the Natura 2000.

Authors: Nabizadeh Azita , Amani Bahman , Kadivar Maliheh , Toroski Mahdi , Asl Akbar Abdollahi , Bayazidi Yahya , Mojahedian Mahdi , Davari Majid
Published: December 2018

Gaucher's disease (GD) is one of the most common lysosomal diseases in humans. It results from β-glucosidase deficiency and leads to necrosis, especially in macrophages with the accumulation of glucosylceramidase in cells. Most of the deleterious effects of the disease are seen in the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy of Imiglucerase with Eliglustat in treating patients with GD. PubMed/Medline, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and Google Scholar were searched from inception to August, 2018. Predefined inclusion criteria for included studies were based on search methodology and are as follows: All randomized, quasi-randomized controlled, and cohort studies about patients with GD Type 1 that Imiglucerase was compared with Eliglustat were included. Two authors independently choose the papers based on the inclusion criteria. From 2979 recognized studies, three studies including two randomized clinical trials and one cohort study were recognized to meet the inclusion criteria. The primary outcomes were hemoglobin level, platelets count, liver, and spleen size, and the secondary outcomes were the immunological side effects of the medicines and bone complications. The results showed that there is no meaningful difference between the two medicines in terms of increasing blood hemoglobin, platelets count, and reducing the liver and spleen size. The findings of this review showed that both medicines are effective in the treatment of GD Type 1 and there is no statistically significant difference between their efficacies.
Serum Cystatin C for Evaluation of Acute Kidney Injury in Adults Treated with Colistin
Authors: Larki Rozina Abbasi , Jamali Bahareh , Meidani Mohsen , Mousavi Sarah
Published: December 2018

Objective:

Recent studies have shown that serum cystatin C (Cys C) is a better marker for measuring the glomerular filtration rate and may rise more quickly with acute kidney injury (AKI). The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical application of serum Cys C to predict colistin-induced nephrotoxicity in comparison with serum creatinine (SCr).

Methods:

Thirty-two adult patients with no history of acute or chronic kidney injury having been planned to receive intravenous colistin for an anticipated duration of at least 1 week for any indication were recruited. At baseline and 5 days after colistin treatment, serum Cys C as well as creatinine levels were measured. The incidence of colistin-induced acute renal failure was defined according to the AKIN criteria for SCr. Rise in concentration of Cys C by more than 10% from baseline considered as AKI.

Findings:

Colistin-induced nephrotoxicity (defined as SCr ≥0.3 mg/dl) occurred in 6 patients (18.8%). A Cys C increase concentration ≥10% after 5 days of colistin treatment was detected in 15 patients (46.9%). There was a poor agreement between the presence and absence of any SCr-AKI and Cys C-AKI (κ = 0.28, P = 0.04).

Conclusion:

Serum Cys C is a better marker of renal function in early stages of AKI and predictive of persistent AKI on colistin treatment.

Authors: Lahiji Arian Pourmehdi , Mortazavi Mojgan , Tirani Shahnaz Amani , Moeinzadeh Firouzeh , Bidaki Ehsan Zarea , Naini Afsoon Emami , Faghihi Gita , Toghyani Arash , Farajzadegan Ziba
Published: December 2018

Objective:

Pruritus is a prevalent skin condition in end-stage renal disease patients. Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to reduce pruritus in hemodialysis patients. Our objective was to assess the effect of 3 g/day omega-3 supplementation on pruritus among continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD) patients.

Methods:

In this two-period, two-sequence crossover randomized clinical trial, 40 eligible subjects (CAPD patients who complained of pruritus for more than 8 weeks) were randomized to 3 g of omega-3 (n = 20) or identical placebo capsules (n = 20) for 4 weeks. After a wash-out period of 6 weeks, patients were crossed over to the alternate treatment option. Pruritus intensity was assessed using the visual analog scale (VAS) at baseline, 2-and 4-weeks post-intervention in each study period. Both patients and investigators were blinded to the study protocol.

Findings:

No significant carry-over effect was detected. The mean pruritus score (VAS) in the omega-3 group compared with placebo group after the first (−3.02 vs. −0.48, P < 0.001) and second (−4.09 vs. −0.43, P < 0.001) intervention periods showed higher significant decrease.

Conclusion:

In summary, omega-3 supplementation is an effective treatment for pruritus alleviation in CAPD patients. Further studies are needed to determine the mechanisms underlying antipruritic effects of omega-3.
Marginals with Finite Repulsive Cost
Authors: Bindini Ugo
Published: December 2018

We consider a multimarginal transport problem with repulsive cost, where the marginals are all equal to a fixed probability$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}\in {\mathcal{P}}(\mathbb{R}^{d})$. We prove that, if the concentration of$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}$is less than$1/N$, then the problem has a solution of finite cost. The result is sharp, in the sense that there exists$\unicode[STIX]{x1D70C}$with concentration$1/N$for which the cost is infinite.
Pullbacks and nontriviality of associated noncommutative vector bundles
Authors: Hajac Piotr M. , Maszczyk Tomasz
Published: December 2018

Our main theorem is that the pullback of an associated noncommutative vector bundle induced by an equivariant map of quantum principal bundles is a noncommutative vector bundle associated via the same finite-dimensional representation of the structural quantum group. At the level of K0-groups, we realize the induced map by the pullback of explicit matrix idempotents. We also show how to extend our result to the case when the quantum-group representation is infinite dimensional, and then apply it to the Ehresmann–Schauenburg quantum groupoid. Finally, using noncommutative Milnor’s join construction, we define quantum quaternionic projective spaces together with noncommutative tautological quaternionic line bundles and their duals. As a key application of the main theorem, we show that these bundles are stably non-trivial as noncommutative complex vector bundles.
Locally bounded perturbations and (odd) unbounded KK-theory
Authors: van den Dungen Koen
Published: December 2018

A regular symmetric operator on a Hilbert module is self-adjoint whenever there exists a suitable approximate identity.We say an operator is “locally bounded” if the composition of the operator with each element in the approximate identity is bounded.We prove that the perturbation of a regular self-adjoint operator by a locally bounded symmetric operator is again regular and self-adjoint. We use this result to show that the Kasparov class represented by an unbounded Kasparov module is stable under locally bounded perturbations. As an application, we show that we obtain a converse to the “doubling up” procedure of odd unbounded Kasparov modules. Finally, we discuss perturbations of unbounded Kasparov modules by unbounded multipliers. In particular, we explicitly construct an unbounded multiplier such that (after doubling up the module) the perturbed operator has compact resolvent.

Isoperimetric inequalities and monotonicity formulas for submanifolds in warped products manifolds
Authors: Alencar Hilário , Silva Neto Gregório
Published: December 2018

In this paper we first prove some linear isoperimetric inequalities for submanifolds in the de Sitter–Schwarzschild and Reissner–Nordstrom manifolds. Moreover, the equality is attained. Next, we prove some monotonicity formulas for submanifolds with bounded mean curvature vector in warped product manifolds and, as consequences, we give lower bound estimates for the volume of these submanifolds in terms of the warping function. We conclude the paper with an isoperimetric inequality for minimal surfaces.
On Galois group of factorized covers of curves

be a sequence of covers of compact Riemann surfaces. In this work we study and completely characterize the Galois group

\mathfrak{G}(\varphi\circ\psi)

m

and

\psi

is a Galois unramified cover of degree

. Furthermore, we give a natural geometric generator system of

\mathfrak{G}(\varphi\circ\psi)

obtained by studying the action on the compact Riemann surface

\mathcal{Z}

associated to the Galois closure of

\varphi\circ\psi.

Značilnosti prsti na pobočju Tičnice pri Rakeku
Authors: Lovrenčak Franc
Published: December 2018

Globina prsti se na kraškem površju spreminja na kratke razdalje. To so potrdila tudi proučevanja na vzpetini Tičnica na Rakeku v Notranjskem podolju. Tu se globina prsti spreminja od 20-110 cm. Vzrok je v tektonski pestrosti in korozijski razjedenosti. Tam, kjer so nastali globji žepi v dolomitni matični podlagi, je prst globja. V globjih profilih se nahaja rdečkast in glinast Brz horizont. Zgradba profila, lega horizonta in položna pobočja navajajo na sklep, da so glinasti delci netopen ostanek preperavanja matične podlage, ki so ostali na mestu nastanka.

Published: December 2018

Velenjsko jezero je nastalo v predalpski Šaleški dolini po drugi svetovni vojni kot posledica izkopavanja lignita. Od nastanka ga je v veliki meri onesnaževala voda za transport pepela iz šoštanjske termoelektrarne. Sredi devetdesetih so zgradili zaprt transportni sistem in onesnaževanje prekinili. Od takrat se je jezerska voda izboljšala in jezero postaja ena pomembnejših razvojnih možnosti za Šaleško dolino. Le ob upoštevanju načel trajnostnega in sonaravnega razvoja se bo jezero še naprej izboljševalo in omogočalo večplastno rabo.

Političkogeografski aspekti hrvatsko-slovenskih odnosa u razdoblju 1991-2000
Authors: Klemenčić Mladen
Published: December 2018

Sodelovanje dveh sosednjih držav je nujnost v mednarodnih odnaosih. Prvih deset let neodvisnosti Hrvaške in Slovenije je bilo v znamenju določanja državne meje. Skupna komisija je za večino meje dosegla soglasje , še vedno pa je nekaj nevsklajenosti in seveda nerešeno vprašanje meje na morju. Stališča o morski meji se danes bolj razhajajo kot na začetku pogovorov, razlike pa so posledica spremenjenih naravnogeografskih razmer ter različnega političnega stanja v obeh državah. Na mednarodnem področju imata obe državi podobne cilje, ravni njihove uresničitve pa sta različni. Pri evropski integraciji Slovenija močno prednajči. Ne glede na probleme imata obe državi pogoje, da razvijeta prekomejno sodelovanje. Za to zgodovina daje dobre osnove, a prebivalstvo obmejnih območij podpira reševanje problemov in izboljšanje bodočega sodelovanja.

Vodnoekološki dejavniki regionalnega razvoja obmejnih območij ob slovensko-hrvaški meji
Authors: Plut Dušan
Published: December 2018

Večina rek, ki prečkajo slovensko hrvaško mejo, je bila v 90. letih zmerno do močno onesnažena. V obdobju 1990 – 1997 se je nekoliko izboljšala (večinoma le za polovico razreda) kakovost Mure, Save in spodnje Sotle, poslabšala Kolpe pod Metliko, kakovost Dragonje pa se bistveno ni spremenila. Pri onesnaževanju Tržaškega zaliva je delež onesnaževanja Italije največji, delež Slovenije in Hrvaške pa manjši. Smotrnejše ravnanje z obmejnimi vodnimi viri se naj prednostno usmeri na zmanjšanje njihovega onesnaževanja in sonaravno gospodarjenje v okviru mednarodnih porečij (Sava, Drava, Mura). Z vidika obmejnega regionalnega razvoja in skupnega sonaravnega gospodarjenja z vodnimi viri pa je ključno skupno meddržavno načrtovanje in udejanjanje zmanjševanja obremenjevnja vod Sotle, Kolpe in Tržaškega zaliva.
Strukturne spremembe v slovenskem kmetijstvu in razvoj podeželja
Authors: Cunder Tomaž
Published: December 2018

Temeljna značilnost slovenskega kmetijstva je, da se je dolgo časa razvija-lo v povsem drugačni smeri kot kmetijstvo v EU, kar še posebej velja zaagrarno strukturo. Medtem ko se je v državah z razvitim kmetijstvomrazmeroma hitro povečevala velikost obratov in vzporedno z izboljševanjemkmetijske tehnologije specializacija pridelave, pa se je vse do začetkadevetdesetih let 20. stoletja (predvsem v zasebnem sektorju slovenskegakmetijstva) odvijal ravno obraten proces. Evidentno je bilo nenehnoslabšanje zemljiške in posestne strukture, nizka delovna intenzivnost in vnekaterih območjih tudi opuščanje pridelave. Trdimo lahko, da se je vslovenskem kmetijstvu nenehno poglabljala protislovnost med družbeno-ekonomsko strukturo kmečkega prebivalstva in agrarno strukturo.Posledice se kažejo v tem, da imamo z vidika deleža kmečkega prebivalstvav Sloveniji že socialno in demografsko strukturo razvite družbe, medtem koagrarna struktura še vedno izkazuje značilnosti klasične agrarne družbe.

Raziskavam sprememb na podeželju trazicijskih gospodarstev je namen-jeno malo pozornosti v primerjavi s študijami metropolitanskih središč invečjih mestnih aglomeracij. Vzrok je v tem, da se spremembe na podeželjune odvijajo tako hitro in da podeželje redko pritegne pozornost domačih intujih vlagateljev.

Spremembe prostornine Triglavskega ledenika
Authors: Gabrovec Matej
Published: December 2018

Primerjali smo geodetski načrt Triglavskega ledenika iz leta 1952 s topografskim načrtom iz leta 2001, ki je bil narejen s fotogrametrično izmero helikopterskih posnetkov. Tako smo izračunali spremembo debeline in prostornine. Ledenik se je v petdesetih letih ponekod stanjšal za več kot 35 metrov, njegova prostornina pa se je zmanjšala na petdesetino prvotne.

Analizira problematiko interpretiranja meja ter teritorialnosti, še posebno po geopolitičnih transformacijah v Evropi ter v luči ustvarjanja nove političnogeografske podobe kontinenta in v njem potekajočih integracijskih procesov. V nadaljevanju prikazuje pojave in probleme razvoja v evropskih kontaktnih prostorih, ki jih opredeljujejo obmejni status in prisotnost jezikovnih manjšin.
Sodobni problemi aplikacije geografije v tematski kartografiji
Authors: Perko Drago
Published: December 2018

Tematski zemljevid je lahko geografska aplikacija sam po sebi ali pa je temelj drugi geografski aplikaciji. Razvoj slovenske tematske kartografije je izrazito pospešila osamosvojitev države leta 1991. V vsebinskem in tehnološkem pogledu sta največji dosežek Geografski atlas Slovenije in Nacionalni atlas Slovenije, ki sta izjemna tudi na svetovni ravni in pomenita veliko promocijo Slovenije ter slovenske geografije in kartografije. Hiter razvoj spremljajo številni problemi, med njimi tudi (ne)- upoštevanje različnih slovenskih in mednarodnih predpisov pri pripravi zemljevidov, kot so na primer resolucije OZN, mednarodni in slovenski standardi (SIST ISO) ter Zakon o avtorski in sorodnih pravicah.
Integralna obremenjenost prodnih ravnin Slovenije
Authors: Kladnik Drago
Published: December 2018

Integralna obremenjenost prodnih ravnin v Sloveniji je rezultat prepletanja številnih dejavnosti na teh območjih, zato njeno preučevanje zahteva celosten pristop. Območja aluvialnih vodonosnikov v Sloveniji so ogrožena, kar je posledica naravne ranljivosti vodonosnikov in njihovih velikih obremenitev ter posledično slabe kakovosti podtalnice. Kaže se potreba po zaščiti kakovosti podtalnice.

Novi impulzi socialno-geografske preobrazbe po
Authors: Klemenčič Vladimir
Published: December 2018

V zadnjem desetletju po osamosvojitvi Slovenije in s postopnim vključevanjem v druž-beno-gospodarski sistem Evropske se spreminja sestava aktivnega prebivalstva, upada število zaposlenih, povečuje se število zaposlenih v kvartarnih in zlasti v terciarnih dejavnostih, močno pa naraščata število dijakov in študentov, ter delež nezaposlenih. Sledimo hitremu ogozdovanju ter socialnemu prelogu tudi na površinah, ki bi bile pri-merne za kmetijsko izrabo.

Prostorska organizacija družbene infrastrukture v občini Ravne s posebnim ozirom na KS Črna
Authors: Pak Mirko
Published: December 2018

Trgovina, obrt, uprava, zdravstvo, šolstvo, kultura, pošta in še druge dejavnosti družbene infrastrukture tudi v občini Ravne sledijo modelu poselitve, kar pomeni njihovo absolutno in relativno koncentracijo na majhnem prostoru v dolini reke Meže. Občina Ravne je ena redkih v SR Sloveniji z več kot enim središčem, ki presega stopnjo ruralnega središča, in edina s štirimi takšnimi središči, ki poleg tega niso med seboj močno oddaljena. Na Ravnah, v Prevaljah, Mežici in Črni se nahajajo vsi elementi družbene infrastrukture, trgovine s srednjeročno in dolgoročno oskrbo, domala vse vrste obrti, popolne osnovne šole in vrtci, zdravstvene ambulante in postaje ter lekarne, osnovne upravne ustanove (pisarna KS, matični urad, postaja milice in še kaj), kulturni dom, knjižnica, pošta, banka in še kaj. Zaradi reliefa in s tem povezane težje dostopnosti je relativna razlika v opremljenosti naselij v dolini Meže in zunaj nje še večja. To ekstremno polarizacijo blažita samo obe manjši centralni naselji Leše in Kotije (po Kokoletu ranga centralne vasi), ki pa nimata omembe vrednih vplivnih območij. Tako kaže na primer trgovina kot najbolj razširjena in frekventirana družbena infrastrukturna dejavnost aosolutno (številčno) in relativno (strukturno) ekstremno koncentracijo v dolinskih središčih s 93,0% vseh prodajaln in kar 97,7% prodajaln srednjeročne in kratkoročne oskrbe. Podobno ekstremno dolinsko koncentracijo kaže poleg drugega tudi obrt, ki jo ima mimo gostinskih obratov le 23,8% naselij v občini.
Kompatibilnost turizma na kmetiji in proizvodnje v celičnih obratih
Authors: Jeršič Matjaž
Published: December 2018

Zaradi neugodnih naravnih pogojev ali neustreznih socialno posestnih razmer v številnih gorskih območjih kmetijska gospodarstva ne morejo dosegati ustreznega dohodka le s kmetijsko dejavnostjo. Ena izmed možnosti dodatnega dohodka je tudi kmečki turizem. Namen kmečkega turizma ni v preusmeritvi dejavnosti kmetije iz pretežno agrarnega v pretežno turistični obrat. Turizem na kmetiji naj bi bil torej le dodatna dejavnost kmečkega gospodinjstva, s katero bi se izboljšal njegov gospodarski položaj. Posredno pa naj bi ta dejavnost pripomogla tudi k hitrejšemu posodabljanju bivalnih razmer prebivalstva gorskih kmetij (predvsem z izboljševanjem prometnega omrežja, PTT zvez, vodovodnega omrežja in z drugo infrastrukturo, ki jo uporablja tudi turizem), pa tudi k vzpostavljanju novih socialnih stikov.
Spreminjanje temperature zraka in padavin po letnih časih v Ljubljani in Trstu v obdobju 1851-2002
Authors: Ogrin Darko
Published: December 2018

V prispevku avtor analizira spremenljivost sezonskih temperatur in padavin v Ljubljani in Trstu v obdobju 1851-2002, s posebnim ozirom na zadnjih 15 let. Ugotavlja srednjeročne variacije in splošno tendenco. Večjo variabilnost in izrazitejše temperaturne trende ima Ljubljana. Naraščajo zimske in spomladanske temperature, zmanjšuje se jesenska namočenost in zaradi nje tudi letna, vendar se jesenske padavine v zadnjih 15 letih ponovno krepijo. To z višjimi temperaturami napoveduje submediteranizacijo podnebja v Ljubljani in izrazitejše mediteranske poteze v Trstu.
Fizična geografija in preučevanje ogroženosti zaradi naravnih in drugih nesreč
Authors: Natek Karel
Published: December 2018

Slovenska fizična geografija je s preučevanji naravnih nesreč dosegla zavidljivo stopnjo védenja o teh pojavih, v katerih se kažeta tesna povezanost človeka in narave ter naraščajoča ranljivost sodobne družbe. Predstavljeno je geografsko videnje teh pojavov, ki niso zgolj naključni dogodki, temveč sestavni del pokrajine, skupaj z vsemi človekovimi prilagoditvami. Hiter razvoj znanosti in tehnike ter spremenjen način življenja sodobnega človeka so še povečali našo ranljivost in ogroženost, kar zahteva tudi od fizične geografije uporabo novih pristopov pri osveščanju in iskanju možnosti trajnostnega 'sožitja' z naravnimi nesrečami.
Akademik Ivan Gams in njegov vpliv na razvoj geomorfologije v Republiki Hrvaški
Authors: Bognar Andrija
Published: December 2018

V prispevku je predstavljena pomembna vloga, ki jo je imel akademik Ivan Gams pri preusmeritvi in posodobitvi hrvaške geomorfologije v 70. in 80. letih 20. stoletja. Predstavljeni so vzroki, zakaj je hrvaška geomorfologija v preteklosti izgubila stik z razvojem stroke v svetu, in kako si je povrnila nekdanji ugled in pomen z uvajanjem sistematičnega geomorfološkega kartiranja hrvaškega ozemlja, izobraževanjem novih strokovnjakov na zagrebški univerzi in uvajanjem novih metod znanstbenega preučevanja.
The (re)creation of postmodern spanish cities. The role of immigrants
Authors: González Pérez Jesús M.
Published: December 2018

The consequences of full incorporation into the European Union and the effects of globali-sation contributed to the modification of social structures in Spain. The accelerated rise in immigration has been decisive in creating the post-modern Spanish city. The cities of the twenty-first century are more complex, but also more cosmopolitan, multi-cultural, rich and dynamic.
Specialization in services: a Canadian example
Authors: Simmons James W.
Published: December 2018

In modern urban systems the economic growth of cities is largely driven by services. In many regions employment growth in primary and secondary activities is close to zero, or even negative. Growth depends on the ability to attract jobs in the services. This study explores the pattern of specialization in various service activities for 159 Canadian urban areas in 1996, as the basis for a series of maps for the Atlas of Canada. The hierarchical specialization is evaluated for each service sector by computing a regression model of ser-vice employment as a function of urban population and income per capita. The rapidly growing business and financial services are the most strongly oriented to larger cities. The horizontal specialization is measured as residuals from the regressions. Strong regional differences contrast the central place roles of agricultural communities with the more loca-lized markets of resource and manufacturing centres. Public sector decisions about the loca-tion of major health and education facilities complement the choices of the private sector.
A psycho-geography of crime areas: variations in the affective domain
Authors: Davies Wayne Kenneth David
Published: December 2018

Ten dimensions from the affective domain are proposed as characterizing the major attitu-des and feelings found in areas of high crime in cities. These dimensions are related to a previously proposed model of community differentiation by the author, that tried to sum-marize the range of features that cause community or residential areas to differ from one another. It is suggested that these crime area dimensions are variations of the previously proposed dimensions rather than unique sources of differentiation.
Eisenhüttenstadt: monitoring a shrinking German city
Authors: Lötscher Lienhard
Published: December 2018

The German Urban Commission is currently monitoring a phenomenon not entirely new: the economic and demographic shrinking of cities. As outlined during the Pretoria Confe-rence in 2002, this process is increasingly puzzling for both urban planners and politicians, and in some regions – especially in eastern Germany – the situation is getting dramatically worse (see chapter 1). In chapter 2 and 3 of this paper we will illustrate the effects of eco-nomic and demographic shrinking, by analysing the example of the eastern German City of Eisenhüttenstadt. In chapter 4 we will outline Eisenhüttenstadt’s perspectives for the future and discuss its efforts to adapt to these new challenges. The conclusion will put forward a number of theses for further discussion.
The regional pattern of renewal in urban residential areas in Germany since the 1970s
Authors: Tetsuya Ito
Published: December 2018

This study uses the case of Nuremberg to investigate the regional pattern of renewal in urban residential areas on a middle scale from the standpoint of physical and social structure in Ger-many since the 1970s when the supply of dwellings surpassed demand and many urban renewal projects have been carried out. I study the regional pattern of social structure, social housing units, urban renewal projects and the number of construction in the urban area. The regional pattern of renewal is divided into two types in the urban area located within a radius of 3 km from the city center and in the southern area.
Regional characteristics of building supply in a newly developed city in Japan
Authors: Tsutsumi Jun
Published: December 2018

In this study the author undertook a micro-level analysis of the relationship between land-ownership change and the growth process of Sapporo city. The most important questions addressed by this paper are: Why the process occurred?; When did it occur?; Where did it take place?; Who was responsible?; and, How was it conducted? The author analyzed the long-term process of building supply and revealed how many renovation cases were identi-fied that were brought about by newly advanced land purchasers, and how many cases were brought about by original land-owners without land-ownership change.
The end of urbanisation? Transformation of the urban concept
Authors: Andersen Hans Thor
Published: December 2018

Cities and their environments are continuously changing. During the last two hundred years urbanization has replaced a predominantly rural landscape with an urban landscape. Al-though the urbanization apparently has transformed the western countries most, the pace of urbanization is now highest in economic less developed countries. However, this does not mean an end to urbanization or a stabilization of the urban landscape in more developed countries. In the second half of the 20th century growth of large cities ceased and medium sized and small cities went into a period of rapid growth. This new pattern of urbanization (counter urbanization) was strongly debated during the 1970s and onwards, in particular in relation to its practical implications. Decentralisation of political decision making and pub-lic service production was soon following the population and often used as an instrument to stimulate growth in less prosperous regions. The Scandinavian countries are cases in point. During the last decade still more examples points at a reversal of the trend; metropolitan areas have begun to grew again both due to net migration and natural increase of the popu-lation.
Canadian cities in transition: new sources of urban difference
Authors: Bourne Larry S.
Published: December 2018

Cities, increasingly, are the principal arenas in which global, national and local forces inter-sect. Canadian cities are no exception. Those cities are currently undergoing a series of profound and irreversible transitions as a result of external forces originating from different sources and operating at different spatial scales. Specifically, this paper argues that Cana-dian cities are being transformed in a markedly uneven fashion through the intersection of changes in national and regional economies, the continued demographic transition, and shifts in government policy on the one hand, and through increased levels and new sources of immigration, and the globalization of capital and trade flows, on the other hand. These shifts, in turn, are producing new patterns of external dependence, a more fragmented urban system, and continued metropolitan concentration. They are also leading to increased socio-cultural differences, with intense cultural diversity in some cities juxtaposed with homoge-neity in other cities, and to new sets of urban winners and losers. In effect, these transitions are creating new sources of difference - new divides - among and within the country=s urban centres, augmenting or replacing the traditional divides based on city-size, location in the heartland or periphery, and local economic base.
