„Ahol a közgazdaságtan félresiklott”Marianne Johnson – Where Economics Went Wrong: A Review Essay
Authors: Hadi Noémi
Published: February 2021

Marianne Johnson esszéje azzal a céllal született, hogy felhívja a figyelmet az elmélettörténeti ellentmondásokra David Colander és Craig Freedman Where Economics Went Wrong című könyvében. A szerzők tézise, hogy a közgazdaságtan akkor távolodott el eredeti rendeltetésétől, amikor szakított a klasszikus liberalizmus módszertanával. Erre a töréspontra szeretnének rámutatni a chicagói iskolát a második világháború előtt és után meghatározó közgazdasági gondolkodás szembeállításával. Johnson nem ezt a felvetést támadja, hanem a chicagói példa kiválasztásának megalapozottságát vitatja. E recenzió célja, hogy az alapvető definícióbeli különbségekből kiindulva a közgazdász feladatának tárgyalásáig bemutassa a szerzők és a meghatározó chicagói közgazdászok állásfoglalása közötti eltéréseket.

Background: Literature emphasises the benefits of person-centred approaches in nursing homes. Objectives: To describe the quality of life, well/ill being and person-centred care of residents, and explore relationship between person-centred care and well/ill being in 7 nursing homes. Design: A cross-sectional study. Setting: Seven nursing homes of different built period and design typologies in Singapore. Participants: 696 nursing home residents. Measurements: Measures used were EQ-5D for quality of life, Dementia Care Mapping for well/ill being, Resident Satisfaction Score and Person-Directed Dementia Care Assessment Tool as measure of person-centred care. Results: Mean EQ-5D-5L index was 0.096 (SD=0.45). Most residents had at least moderate problems in mobility (66.5%), self-care (63.6%) and usual activities (63.0%). Mean well/ill being score was 1.69 (SD=0.98). A state of neutrality (WIB=+1) (48%) was most observed, followed by well-being (WIB>+1) (29%) and ill-being (WIB<+1) (6%). High positive potential behaviors were recorded 37% of the time, while low/no positive potential behaviors amount to 39%. The overall resident satisfaction score was 3.43/5 with borderline satisfaction with environment, food and activities, and low satisfaction with lifestyle and quality of interaction. The overall level of person-centred care was modest 2.3/4. Activities scored highest while the weakest domain was Environment. The overall level of person-centred care was positively correlated with resident well/ill being score (F=4.43, p<0.001). Conclusions: A higher level of person-centred care is associated with better resident well-being. Beyond their physical and custodial needs, the residents’ psychosocial needs can be better fulfilled. The areas of person-centred care amenable to improvement relate to environment, staff knowledge and training. These findings can inform resident care planning, policy development, and future research to support nursing homes in their endeavour to move towards more holistic and person-centric care.

Confinement et déconfinement énergétique des secteurs du bâtiment et des transports
Authors: Cantin Richard
Published: February 2021

En imposant le confinement des populations, la pandémie du Covid-19 a brutalement freiné de nombreuses activités économiques. Rapidement, les impacts sociaux, environnementaux et climatiques se sont fait sentir sur tous les continents.

La prise de conscience des conséquences de cette pandémie et du confinement interroge les façons de consommer, de travailler, de se déplacer et d'habiter, les modes de vie présents et futurs. Ainsi, dans l'incertitude, se posent une énième fois les questions relatives aux stratégies de croissance ou de décroissance pour le xxie siècle et notamment celles relatives à la mise en œuvre d'une transition énergétique.

En effet, dans de nombreux pays, le secteur du bâtiment, très consommateur d'énergie, peine toujours à engager effectivement sa transition énergétique et avance à petits pas. Quant au secteur des transports, important émetteur de gaz à effet de serre, durement éprouvé par le confinement, il semble finalement contraint de s'y engager mais à marche forcée. Dans ce contexte, penser le monde après la pandémie invite à s'interroger sur les difficultés qu'ont ces deux secteurs économiques majeurs à faire leur transition énergétique.

L'article a pour objectif de mettre en évidence des réflexions prospectives permettant de repenser les problématiques énergétiques des secteurs du bâtiment et des transports. Pour cela, l'approche systémique est mise en œuvre afin d'appréhender la complexité du confinement des consciences dans des modèles à penser les questions énergétiques. Des exemples montrent les limites de ces modèles. Ils illustrent le confinement dans le modèle thermo-industriel, dans des biais cognitifs et la prégnance des macro-systèmes techniques du passé. Enfin, des pistes d'un déconfinement énergétique sont proposées afin d'évaluer les conditions épistémologiques d'une transition énergétique complexe.
Open access resources on motion artifact in adult dentomaxillofacial CBCT: illustrated pictorial review of medical literature
Authors: Olszewski Raphael
Published: February 2021

Objective: to know how much open access/open knowledge reference figures were available on motion artifacts in CBCT dentomaxillofacial imaging, and to describe and to categorize clinical variation of motion artifacts related to diverse types of head motion retrospectively observed during CBCT scanning time.

Material and methods: a search equation was performed on Pubmed database. We found 56 articles. The 45 articles were out of scope, and 7 articles were excluded after applying exclusion and inclusion criteria. Only 4 articles were finally freely accessible and selected for this review. Moreover, we retrospectively used our department CBCT database to search examinations with motion artifacts. We also checked retrospectively for radiological protocols as the type of motion artifact was described when occurred during the CBCT scanning time by the main observer. We had obtained the approval from the Ethical committee for this study.

Results: The accessibility of free figures on motion artifact in dentomaxillofacial CBCT is limited to 13 figures not annotated, and to one annotated figure presenting a double contour around cortex of bony orbits. We proposed to categorize the

motion artifacts into three levels: low, intermediary, and major. Each level was related to: 1) progressive image quality degradation, 2) distortion of anatomy, and 3) potential possibility of performing clinical diagnosis. All 45 figures were annotated.

Conclusions: There exists a scarce open access literature on motion artifacts in CBCT. In our pictorial review we found that low level motion artifacts were more related to head rotation in axial plane (rolling). Rolling and lateral translation were responsible of intermediary level motion artifacts. Major level motion artifacts were created by complex motion with multiple rotation axes, multiple translation directions, and by anteroposterior translation. The main limitation of this study is related to retrospectively report empirical observation of patient motion during CBCT scanning and to compare these observations with motion artifacts found on clinical images. More robust methodology should be further developed using a virtual simulation of various types of head movements and associated parameters to consolidate the open knowledge on motion artifacts in dentomaxillofacial CBCT.

Contemporary Hungarian Women’s Writing and Cosmopolitanism
Authors: Györke Ágnes
Published: February 2021

This article investigates contemporary Hungarian women’s writing in the context of cosmopolitan feminism. The literary works explored are Noémi Szécsi’s The Finno-Ugrian Vampire, Noémi Kiss’s Trans and Virág Erdős’s Luminous Bodies: 100 Little Budapest, which I read as examples of a cosmopolitan feminist engagement with urban space. As opposed to the Kantian concept of cosmopolitanism, which has been critiqued for failing to take the experiences of particular social groups and geographical regions into account, cosmopolitan feminism focuses on the local and the embodied. The discussed texts thematise border crossing both on the level of form and content, while they engage with the mundane, affective aspects of everyday life in an emphatically urban setting. This cosmopolitan feminism challenges parochial, heavy, national literary traditions and points towards a distinct feministaesthetics in contemporary Hungarian literature.
Czech Literary Culture in the Post-Digital Era
Authors: Piorecký Karel , Malínek Vojtěch
Published: February 2021

This study examines the changes within Czech literary culture since 2000 in relation to the process of remediation. The starting methodological point is in examining a structure of a literary system within a model proposed by Siegfried J. Schmidt. The impact of new creative approaches which utilise interactive network media and also of available publishing platforms are observed in terms of the increase in the size of the literary active group of the population. The study further investigates publishing options via the Internet used mainly by amateur authors, complementary phenomena in print production, as well as the impact of these innovative forms on the dynamics of the book market. The ways in which texts are received are examined particularly from the point of enhancing the role of the reader within interactive media and attention is paid to the qualitative changes within the reception frameworks (transnational and non-literary contexts). And finally, the ways in which literary phenomena are handled is largely related to the reflection of the critical state of the current literary criticism and new virtual formats of critiquing literature. The study shows that the evolutionary changes which were brought about by extending the use of digital media within literary communication have been so extensive that the Schmidt model of analysis has proven insufficient.
1956, 1968, 1981: The Faces of Central-European Memory: A Postcolonial Perspective
Authors: Bakuła Bogusław
Published: February 2021

This article deals with two issues. The first concerns the problem of collective memory of the past, which is divided here into shared memory, separate memory and non-memory. Shared memory plays a lesser role in Central Europe than separate memory, the latter being the core of national and social identity. Shared memory is an unattainable ideal proposed by some politicians and cultural researchers. A significant role is played by non-memory, which temporarily annihilates difficult matters related to the past. History vies with collective memory in Central Europe as a means of preserving the past. This is the result of centuries-old conflicts, changing political systems, shifting borders and, above all, many nations losing their sovereignty. This situation made the problem of domination and subordination a fundamental problem of history and collective memory. For this reason, the second part of the article focuses on the postcolonial aspects of collective memory, and in particular on its relation to the events of 1956, 1968, and 1981 connected with the military reaction of the communist system to attempts at reform. These events, with all their historical differences, are caused by external violence (1956, 1968) or by internal violence caused by external pressure (1981). Central European societies also shape mutual relations through their attitudes to selected elements of the past. The author of the article depicts the inconspicuous aspects of shared internal and international memory by means of an analysis of four aspects: ressentiment, unremembering, historical politics and aesthetisation.An analysis of the events that took place in 1956, 1968, and 1981 in the context of these four aspects of postcolonial memory reveals the fragile (moderately strong) existence of common areas. These areas are dominated by non-memory and separate memory, which deform historical realities. This proves that it is difficult for Central European societies to move beyond slogans and general declarations. True shared memory is the task for the future.
Memory and History: A Comparison of the Past in Slovak Prose of the Post-2000 Period
Authors: Barborík Vladimír
Published: February 2021

This study focuses on how two kinds of memory: historical and personal are reflected in a section of Slovak literature of the past two decades. A variety of autobiographical genres and biographically-stylised fictional prose draw on personal memory, and history, is the domain of historical genres, particularly the novel. After the 1990s, the present was deemed important and historical presentations of the past were parodiedin the prose of Peter Pišťanek and Igor Otčenáš. At the beginning of the new millennium, however, prose portraying and reflecting on the past reappeared. Memory- based writing which is concerned with an individual situated within history, or outside of it, is more persuasive. Memory-based writing is used in different forms of autobiographical writing: within fiction it takes a form of biographical stylisation (e. g. Vilikovský, Kopcsay and Rozner). In the past ten to fifteen years, there has been a renewed interest in history in Slovak literature, mainly in pre-1989 history (e. g. Rankov, Krištúfek and Lavrík), which had been mistreated in pre-1989 Slovak literature, and later there was no interest in it or it was even rejected in the 1990s.During that time, historical memory was exploited to meet societal requirement. Silvester Lavrík was an exception—he was able to marry the two basic approaches to the past (personal history and historical) in a form of a dispute between them.

The Basis of Social Protests in Georgia in 2019
Authors: Mijalska Faustyna , Kardaś Jarosław
Published: February 2021

Coming to power in 2012, the Georgian Dream promised changes expected by Georgian society that was torn between striving for peace and prosperity, following the example of Western countries, and stabilizing relations with Russia. After seven years, this promise was not fulfilled, and the citizens were bitter about the internal and international policies of Bidzina Ivanishvili. For the purpose of this article, the research hypothesis was formulated that in June 2019 social protests broke out in the capital of Georgia, because the activities of the party headed by Bidzina Ivanishvili resulted in decreased social confidence in this formation. The authors of the article analyzed the activities of Bidzina Ivanishvili which might have sparked social unrest and identified the internal and external factors that resulted in the shrinking social confidence in Georgian authorities in recent years. The authors presented also the events of June 20, 2019, when thousands of people gathered in front of the Georgian parliament building to express their discontent with the presence of the deputy of Russian Duma, Sergei Gavrilov, at the parliamentary session, which resulted in nationwide protests.
Foreign Threats to Ukraine’s Independence and the Challenge Posed to Polish National Security
Authors: Krasivskyy Orest
Published: February 2021

The purpose of the article is to examine the Russian threat to Ukraine’s state sovereignty and its impact on Poland’s national security; to underline that Russia intends to take revenge for its defeat in the Cold War, to regain control over the former Soviet Union republics, to defeat the USA and EU, and to establish control in the territory of the Eurasian continent. The research hypothesis is that the main purpose of Russia’s foreign policy is the reconstruction of a neo-imperial state, Ukraine’s reintegration into the post-Soviet space, and ensuring Russia’s domination in the region. The research task was completed using the research methods of a detailed study of sources and literature and a critical analysis of the information available to the author. Conclusions: Russia is trying to take revenge for its defeat in the Cold War, to regain control over the former Soviet Union republics, to defeat the West, and to establish control over the Eurasian continent. Russia considers Ukraine and Poland as dangerous agents of Atlanticism. That is why the Russian Eurasian geopolitical project aims for the Ukrainian and Polish states to be neutralized in a radical way. To this end, Russia has started a “hybrid war” against Ukraine. Poland and the Baltic countries will be the next targets of Russian aggression. It is profitable for Russian neo-imperialism to destroy trust and the strategic partnership between Poland and Ukraine, and to act in accordance with the divide-and-conquer algorithm. In such circumstances, Ukraine and Poland need to work out a new “Doctrine of restraining Russia’s aggression,” to pursue gradual and coordinated policy for the sake of the victory over Russian neo-imperialism and the dismantlement of the Russian imperial social system. The article describes the peculiarities of the modernization of the Russian imperial system at the present stage, analyzes the content of the Russian neo-imperialistic policy against Ukraine, Poland and the West, the reasons for the failure of Ukraine to neutralize Russian expansion, and also shows possible geopolitical consequences for the national security of Poland in the event of the successful implementation of Russia’s geopolitical strategy.

In this article, we analyze the discoverability crisis and its root causes. We introduce open discovery infrastructure as a promising approach for the development of innovative discovery solutions. We present several efforts based on open discovery infrastructure that have emerged to provide better discovery of coronavirus research and discuss what is still needed to overcome the discoverability crisis.
Cognitive test anxiety in high-stakes oral examinations: Face-to-face or computer-based?
Authors: Andujar Alberto , Cruz-Martínez Maria Soledad
Published: February 2021

The present investigation explores Cognitive Test Anxiety (CTA) in a high-stake oral examination, taking into consideration how face-to-face and computer-based examination formats affect test-takers’ anxiety and consequently language performance. Two speaking tests – face-to-face and computer-based – were developed for a Spanish university’s ACLES B1 accreditation exam taken by 176 candidates. The Cognitive Test Anxiety Scale Revised (CTAS-2) and a structured interview were used to measure students’ anxiety as well as to observe students’ perceptions, individual behaviour, and how contextual characteristics and emotions have an effect on language test anxiety. Results indicated a moderate to high cognitive test anxiety on the part of participants and differences between the two contexts were found. Factors such as the absence of an examiner or not feeling observed or judged during the speaking test performance were found to be aspects that lowered test-takers’ anxiety levels.

Authors: Yang Jing , Wang Xi , Zhao Yamei , Mu Ruihua , Li Bo , Hou Haiyun
Published: February 2021

Two methyl-modified Al2O3/SiO2 xerogels, i. e. AIP-Al2O3/MSiO2 and ANN-Al2O3/MSiO2 xerogels, were prepared using aluminum isopropoxide and aluminum nitrate nonahydrate as the aluminum precursors, respectively. The appearance, density, viscosity, Gibbs activation energy for viscous flow and reaction rate constant of the sols were analyzed and compared. Their microstructures were characterized by means of powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption–desorption measurements. The results show that the Al–O–Si bond is formed in the AIP-Al2O3/MSiO2 and ANN-Al2O3/MSiO2 xerogels. The ANN-Al2O3/MSiO2 sol has a smaller mean particle size and greater sol stability than the AIP-Al2O3/MSiO2 sol. Meanwhile, the ANN-Al2O3/MSiO2 xerogel has a smaller pore size and higher porosity. The total pore volume and specific surface area of the ANN-Al2O3/MSiO2 xerogel are 27.27% and 29.36% larger than those of the AIP-Al2O3/ MSiO2 sample, respectively. The saturated adsorption capacity of the ANN-Al2O3/MSiO2 xerogel to methylene blue is 7.15% larger than that of the AIP-Al2O3/MSiO2 xerogel.

Published: February 2021

Large data centre provides the important facilities like storage, computation, communication, etc. Therefore, we must be very careful while designing the infrastructure and networking of the data centre as these factors decides the expenses on implementation and maintenance of the infrastructure. The data servers are connected with Top of Rack (ToR) switches, which are further connected to aggregated/core switches. This paper discusses the blocking performance of the switches used at various levels of optical data networks. However it must be noted that in data centres traffic is not blocked and but it is temporarily stored but if it can’t stored a negative acknowledgement is sent back and packet re-transmission is done. Blocking performance is done to judge the re-transmission of packets. Blocking performance is obtained using mathematical model as well as using Monte Carlo Simulations.

Comparison of heat transfer in natural and forced circulation under rolling motion
Authors: Wang C. , Shi E. , Sun L. , Chen W.
Published: February 2021

A comparative analysis of heat transfer characteristic in pulsating flow induced by rolling motion under natural circulation and forced circulation condition was performed. Variation of local and average heat transfer characteristics with rolling motion were also investigated. The results show that the natural circulation time-averaged heat transfer characteristic is enhanced by rolling motion. However, the variation of time-averaged heat transfer characteristic of forced circulation is not significant. In addition, the relationship between the relative pulsation amplitude of Reynolds number and Nusselt number does not present predominant difference in natural and forced circulation conditions.

On certain Diophantine equations concerning the area of right triangles
Authors: Zhang Yong , Gao Dan
Published: February 2021

Using the theory of elliptic curve, we show that all right triangles, such that the sum of the area and the square of the sum of legs is a square, are given by an infinite set. Similarly, we get all right triangles such that the sum of the area and the square of the semi-perimeter is a square. Using the theory of Pell’s equation, we prove that there are infinitely many non-primitive right triangles such that the sum of the area and the hypotenuse (or the smaller leg) is a square, and an infinity of primitive right triangles such that the sum of the area and the smaller leg (or the perimeter, the semi-perimeter, the larger leg) is a square.

Recovery of heather (Calluna vulgaris) flowering in northern Finland
Authors: Manninen Outi , Peltola Rainer
Published: February 2021

Heather is a slow-growing evergreen shrub, commonly found in moorlands and heaths of high nature conservation value. Heather-dominated areas are used as livestock pasture, and the flowers of heather are harvested also for the natural product industry. Classical studies have focused on the recovery of shoot biomass of heather, while the recovery of flowering after grazing or harvesting has received less attention. In this study, we examined the recovery of heather flowering in one harvesting experiment and two observational areas in northern Finland. The flowers of heather were collected manually by clipping the flowering shoots or stripping the flowers from the shoots or by machine harvesting. We counted the number of short shoots (SS), nonflowering long shoots (NFLS), and flowering long shoots (FLS) after harvesting. We also measured the length of FLS and counted the flowers they produced. Heathers started to recover by producing new short shoots, while the recovery of flowering was slow, and only in one out of the three areas, flowering recovered totally during our study. Our results suggest that the recovery was dependent on the age of heather or individual site characteristics rather than on the harvesting method. Because flowering is one of the most important stages of successful reproduction, which affects the long-term existence of heather-dominated ecosystems, the results of our study can contribute to new guidelines for management practices in heathlands. However, longer-term experiments on the rate of flowering recovery are needed especially if rotational cutting is favored as a management practice in heathlands in the future.
From image to text to speech: the effects of speech prosody on information sequencing in audio description
Authors: Hirvonen Maija , Wiklund Mari
Published: February 2021

Given the extensive body of research in audio description – the verbal-vocal description of visual or audiovisual content for visually impaired audiences – it is striking how little attention has been paid thus far to the spoken dimension of audio description and its para-linguistic, prosodic aspects. This article complements the previous research into how audio description speech is received by the partially sighted audiences by analyzing how it is performed vocally. We study the audio description of pictorial art, and one aspect of prosody is examined in detail: pitch, and the segmentation of information in relation to it. We analyze this relation in a corpus of audio described pictorial art in Finnish by combining phonetic measurements of the pitch with discourse analysis of the information segmentation. Previous studies have already shown that a sentence-initial high pitch acts as a discourse-structuring device in interpreting. Our study shows that the same applies to audio description. In addition, our study suggests that there is a relationship between the scale in the rise of pitch and the scale of the topical transition. That is, when the topical transition is clear, the rise of pitch level between the beginnings of two consecutive spoken sentences is large. Analogically, when the topical transition is small, the change of the sentence-initial pitch level is also rather small.
Flowering pattern and seed development in indeterminate peanut cv. ‘Margenta’ and its influence on seed quality
Authors: Liew Xi Yun , Sinniah Uma Rani , Yusoff Martini Mohammad , Ugap Amyita Witty
Published: February 2021

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea) cv. ‘Margenta’ has been reported to have poor germination (10%) at harvest. Peanut is an indeterminate crop and the nature of the plant can result in pods of varying maturity at harvest, contributing to the low germination. Thus, this study considered the flowering pattern and seed development in relation to plant growth and development to understand the relationship between maturity stages and seed quality. Peanut plants were uprooted from 24 – 114 days after anthesis (DAA). Pod and seed characteristics were observed, the ability to germinate was tested, and maturity stages were proposed. The flowering pattern conformed to a bell shaped curve with the first flowering at 25 days after sowing (DAS), which continued until 106 DAS. Pod size was found to remain constant from 54 DAA onwards while embryos attained maximum size at 64 DAA. Physiological maturity occurred at 94 DAA, while the highest germination (66%) was recorded sometime prior to physiological maturity (PM) (32% germination), followed by the onset of dormancy. Hence, pods are recommended to be uprooted at 74 – 84 DAA, and only pods within 0.1 m of the main stem are recommended as seeds to ensure uniformity and high germination.
Dendrofilia. Literatura wrażliwa na drzewa (o twórczości Michała Książka)
Authors:   Uniwersytet Pedagogiczny w Krakowie, Roszczynialska Magdalena
Published: February 2021

The article offers an ecocritical reading of Michał Książek’s nature writing. It concentrates primarily on the creative dendrophilous attachment and discusses trees as Książek’s representative visions of nature. The author of the article considers such concepts as the site of illumination, timber (also in its molecular sense), landmark, symbol, locator – cosmic tree, autonomous tree, storage medium, necrobiont – biocentric tree, forest as a holobiont – family (multispecies family), biotic foundation and condition of life. The article also demonstrates Książek’s evolving interest from environmental humanities and nature writing towards the literary politics of nature.
Conversión acelerada de retama negra (Cytisus scoparius) en un biofertilizante de calidad mediante vermicompostaje
Authors: Martínez-Cordeiro Hugo , Domínguez Jorge , Pájaro Varela Marta , García-Jares Carmen , Lores Marta
Published: February 2021

Cytisus scoparius es una planta arbustiva ampliamente distribuida por todo el mundo y considerada como una amenaza para otras especies en algunos países. Las plantas del género Cytisus crecen sobre todo en áreas perturbadas y su presencia favorece, a menudo, la propagación rápida del fuego. El objetivo de este estudio fue evaluar el proceso de vermicompostaje de estos arbustos para producir un fertilizante orgánico de alta calidad y libre de polifenoles. El vermicompostaje redujo sustancialmente la biomasa de C. scoparius (en un 84%), fundamentalmente como resultado de la pérdida de sólidos volátiles, en tan sólo 6 semanas. Se obtuvo un vermicompost de calidad, que es un material similar a la turba, rico en nutrientes y microbiológicamente activo y estable, y sin la fitotoxicidad asociada a los polifenoles. Simultáneamente, la población inicial de lombrices se incrementó muy considerablemente, en un 350%. El procedimiento descrito es eficaz, simple y económico, y puede escalarse fácilmente para su aplicación industrial.

Published: February 2021

Northwestern Spain is one of the most productive forest areas in Europe, being Eucalyptus globulus Labill. the most important species in the area. Stands (pure and mixed) of the species cover more than 400,000 ha, and almost four million cubic metres of timber were produced annually between 2008 and 2012. In this paper we present estimations of total aboveground biomass and the corresponding carbon content in Eucalyptus globulus plantations in Galicia, as useful information for further analysis on carbon sequestration balance. We developed several easy-to-use biomass equations, using data collected from cut trees across Galicia, and these were applied to data from the Third (1997) and Fourth (2011) National Forest Inventories in the region. The fitted model with diameter and height as independent variables showed the best estimates (R2 Adj = 0.9965, RMSE = 6.28). Estimations of current (2011) total aboveground biomass was 34.8 Mt and for the carbon was 15.7 Mt.
Implicacións da propiedade da terra na planificación e xestión dos espazos protexidos en Galicia
Authors: Ferreiro da Costa Javier , Ramil-Rego Pablo
Published: February 2021

A titularidade dos terreos incluídos nos espazos naturais galegos foi mudando co paso do tempo. Nasprimeiras etapas, os espazos protexidos abranguían áreas de escasa superficie de titularidade ou tutela públicas. A partires da promulgación da política autonómica, o conxunto de espazos naturais protexidos galegos aumentará a súa superficie de xeito espectacular, sobre todo coa posta en marcha da Rede Natura 2000, realizándose este incremento fundamentalmente sobre territorios de titularidade privada. A planificación destes espazos soamente será desenvolvida de xeito heteroxéneo, acumulando prolongados retrasos e conflitos na conservación e xestión dos compoñentes naturais. Dende o ano 2007 ata a actualidade, as declaracións de espazos de iniciativa municipal e privada son as predominantes, executando os correspondentes instrumentos de planificación os propios promotores dos devanditos espazos, amosando unha maior axilidade e eficacia no cumprimento dos prazos que os espazos de tutela autonómica. Neste sentido, na actualidade estanse a configurar novas ferramentas para a xestión e conservación das áreas privadas, como a custodia do territorio, así comose consolidan iniciativas para a declaración de espazos que contribúan á conservación da biodiversidade e a promoción do desenvolvemento sostible, como é o caso das Reservas de Biosfera.
Análise da perda de terreos agrícolas na periferia de Lugo mediante regresións loxísticas e modelos de autómatas celulares
Authors: García Andrés Manuel , Caamaño Cristina
Published: February 2021

As melloras tecnolóxicas da revolución industrial, xeraron un proceso de concentración da poboación nas cidades e de perda dos vínculos coas zonas rurais que as rodean. Estas dinámicas orixinaron un decaemento da agricultura local e unha perda de terreos agrícolas en favor de usos urbanos. Tendo en conta os retos que presentan o cambio climático, a escaseza de combustibles e o aumento da poboación urbana, xéranse unha serie de incertezas sobre soberanía e seguridade alimentarias ás que cómpre dar resposta mediante o fomento da agricultura periurbana. No presente traballo estudarase a evolución dos usos agrícolas da cidade de Lugo. Para iso analizáronse os cambios dos usos do solo cruzando mapas de usos de varios anos e utilizando regresións loxísticas. Finalmente xerouse un mapa de probabilidade de urbanización para o ano 2021 mediante un modelo de autómata celular que se cruzou cun mapa de aptitude agrícola para coñecer as zonas de alta aptitude agrícola con risco de seren urbanizadas. A metodoloxía empregada permitiu identificar factores condicionantes da perda de usos agrícolas e as zonas onde desenvolver políticas de planeamento que permitan preservar os mellores terreos agrícolas da periferia de Lugo.
