Natura 2000: Vía Europea hacia la sostenibilidad
Authors: Garayo Urruela Jesús María
Published: September 2022

En un contexto social sensibilizado con el desarrollo sostenible y preocupado por el medio ambiente, la Comisión Europea acordó en 1992, por un lado, profundizar en la reforma de la Política Agraria Común (PAC) y por otro, poner en marcha la Red Natura 2000. La constitución de una red ecológica, evocada en la Directiva de Aves (79/49/CEE) y refrendada a raíz de los debates habidos en el Convenio de Bonn, fue una idea retomada y completada en la Directiva de Hábitats (92/43/CEE) en el marco de los trabajos preparatorios, que precedieron a la primera Cumbre de la Tierra. Natura 2000 entró en vigor el 9 de junio de 1994 y desde entonces, se convirtió en la herramienta concebida por las autoridades comunitarias para liderar en territorio europeo la ejecución de los compromisos ambientales, a los que estaban obligados en aplicación de su adhesión a los convenios internacionales.

Published: September 2022

En este artículo se analiza el impacto del turismo en la ciudad de San Sebastián y se analiza la planificación estratégica de San Sebastián como ciudad turística sostenible o sostenible. Así, se han querido explicar los impactos generales y concretos del turismo urbano para el caso de San Sebastián. Al mismo tiempo, de cara a la gestión pública, el planeamiento urbano propuesto se ha analizado a la luz del paradigma de la sostenibilidad.En el primer apartado se ha realizado un análisis amplio y completo de las diferentes consecuencias del turismo: en primer lugar, se ha realizado un análisis del exceso de turismo o del fenómeno “overtourism”, y también se ha recogido la creación de voces críticas derivadas de este fenómeno. En el tercer punto del primer apartado se estudia el impacto del turismo sobre los precios de la vivienda, observando los incrementos en los precios de los alquileres habituales derivados de la presión de los alquileres turísticos.En el segundo apartado se analiza la planificación estratégica de San Sebastián como ciudad turística a través de un análisis documental. Para ello, se ha analizado en profundidad el Plan de Turismo 2017-2021 de Donostia-San Sebastián. El análisis del contenido de este plan también se ha comparado con la planificación de otras ciudades turísticas (Lisboa, Londres y París). Se observa que la sostenibilidad del turismo está interiorizada por primera vez en la planificación estratégica de San Sebastián (y en general de otras ciudades turísticas). No obstante, para analizar si este giro discursivo se representa en la gestión diaria, será necesario medir la percepción de la ciudadanía y de otros agentes diferentes en el futuro.
Utilización de los sistemas de información geográfica para la modelización de la conectividad biogeográfica: el ejemplo del quebrantahuesos (Gypaetus barbatus) en el Pirineo occidental
Authors: Lozano Valencia Pedro José , Jauregi Monacho Mikel
Published: September 2022

El Quebrantahuesos (Gypaetus barbatus) es la única ave especializada en una dieta puramente osteófaga. Pertenece al grupo de las aves de presa y, en concreto, a la familia Accipitridae. Aunque ocupaba una gran cantidad de espacios montanos de Europa, África y Asia, hoy en día y, debido a diferentes cuestiones, sólo aparece asociado a una serie de cordilleras muy concretas. Su dinámica poblacional ha ido reduciéndose considerablemente, no obstante el núcleo que habita el Pirineo ha visto incrementados sus efectivos en estos últimos 20 años. El Pirineo occidental muestra una buena potencialidad conectora al ser estratégico para la recolonización y conexión de poblaciones de esta especie en lugares como la cordillera cantábrica, los montes vascos, La cordillera ibérica y los propios Pirineos. A través de un complejo pero muy contrastado proceso metodológico derivado del análisis de diversas variables cartográficas con el SIG ArcView, se estima el grado de potencialidadque muestra este territorio para el asentamiento y/o mantenimiento de la especie. Los resultados hablan de la importancia de variables como los nidos históricos, la cantidad de recursos ganaderos o la prevalencia del paisaje agrario tradicional para el mantenimiento y propagación del taxón.

El archipiélago Balear y sus microcosmos: identidad cultural y singularidades toponímicas en espacios insulares
Authors: Ordinas Garau Antoni , Binimelis Sebastián Jaume
Published: September 2022

Los nombres de lugar constituyen un patrimonio cultural en el que se reflejan los rasgos geográficos del territorio, su evolución histórica, los estratos lingüísticos como resultado del paso de distintos pueblos y culturas, y la percepción e idiosincrasia de sus respectivas sociedades. En espacios insulares como las Islas Baleares, el aislamiento acentúa su caracterización cultural que también se evidencia en una terminología geográfica singular presente en los genéricos toponímicos. Su análisis permite caracterizar cada una de las islas a través del análisis de los resultados de la contabilización terminológica que contribuyen a la configuración de la identidad cultural de cada una de las islas del archipiélago, así como de su conjunto ofreciendo algunas de las claves para entender la personalidad isleña.
El patrimonio cultural en la planificación territorial de la comunidad autónoma del País Vasco
Authors: Davila-Cabanillas Nagore
Published: September 2022

La dimensión territorial que ha adquirido el concepto de patrimonio cultural ha incitado a analizar cómo se ordena éste desde la planificación territorial en la Comunidad Autónoma del País Vasco (en adelante, CAPV). Los Planes Territoriales Parciales (en adelante, PTP), encargados de planificar el territorio a escala subregional, se están modificando para integrar las Determinaciones de Paisaje establecidas tras el Decreto 90/2014, sobre protección, gestión y ordenación del paisaje en la ordenación del territorio de la CAPV. Con este nuevo escenario, y teniendo en cuenta que el paisaje es una cuestión relevante en el ámbito de la cultura, se está dando una mayor intervención del patrimonio cultural en la planificación territorial; no sólo se apuesta por la conservación y valoración de éste, sino que se impulsa la integración de los bienes culturales en el territorio en el que se enmarca.

Authors: Abo Al-Sheikh Samira , Alsousi ALthaer
Published: September 2022

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), is rapidly spreading globally due to high transmissibility and pathogenicity. Aim: The purpose of this study is to determine the growth rate and CFR of COVID-19 in Palestine, as well as to compare them in the pre and post-vaccination periods. Methods: A retrospective analytical design was used. The data of daily confirmed cases and daily deaths were taken from the Worldometer statistics, WHO websites, and MOH report for the two politically split regions of Palestine, the Gaza Strip, and the West Bank. The data was gathered to include one hundred days before initiating vaccination against the disease, beginning on December 7, 2020, and ending on June 25, 2021. The growth rate and case fatality rate were calculated using related formulas and the Microsoft Excel program was used to analyze the data. Results: During the study period, there were 217386 cases of COVID-19 and 2772 deaths in Gaza and the west bank. The high growth rate was found in two months December 2020 (38.3%), and March 2021 (30.8%), and was declined in May and June 2021. The case fatality rate, on the other hand, fluctuated throughout the research period. During the study period, the number of patients with COVID-19 and the number of deaths from this disease is decreasing in Palestine. Conclusion: The intervention measures in Palestine seem to be effective in controlling the COVID-19 epidemic and reducing the reproduction rate in the study period. Continuous preventive measures and vaccination for the population are recommended.

Authors: Polat Eren , Kaya Emre , Oral Münir Mert , Çelikdemir Nisanur
Published: September 2022

In this study, the presence and types of urine crystals in cats and dogs with urolithiasis/crystaluria and the effects of some demographic factors (such as type, breed, age, sex, sterilization status) on them were evaluated. In the study, physical, chemical and sediment examinations of urine samples of 67 cats and dogs were performed. It was determined that 83.58% of the animals with crystals in their urine were male. It was determined that 63.64% of the female animals and 44.64% of the male animals with crystals detected in the urinary tract were sterilized. It was determined that urinary crystals were more common in cats between 1-3 years of age (AO) and in dogs older than 3 AO. It was determined that calcium oxalate crystal (64.41%) in cats and struvite crystal (50%) in dogs were the most common crystals. It was determined that urine crystals were found mostly in cross breeds in cats and dogs. It was determined that most of the cats and dogs with urine crystals were fed with home meals and non-branded foods. It was determined that urinary tract infections had an effect on the formation of urine crystals. As a result, it was concluded that it is important in terms of Veterinary Medicine that such studies should be routinely performed, especially in the United States of North America (such as the Minnesota Urolith Center), since urine crystals cause significant lower urinary system diseases.

Published: September 2022

This study aimed to determine the impact of COVID-19 lockdown on lifestyle changes, including eating habits, daily routine, behaviour, education and research amid the volunteers of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research-Central Institute of Medicinal and Aromatic Plants, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India. A well-organised questionnaire with demographic and anthropometric information, dietary information, education and research information, and daily routine habits before, during and after the lockdown was prepared in January-March 2021 for impact analysis. The questionnaire was distributed amongst 600 volunteers. Each section within the questionnaire was explained well for an appropriate response. The questionnaire was collected after 15 days. 150 volunteers responded to the questionnaire, ages ranging from 15-60 years, including 64 males and 86 females. More than 60% sensed a change in hunger and satiety sensations, and 50% gained weight. The Body Mass Index (BMI) of 88 volunteers was reduced with a compromised daily routine and social behaviour. Moreover, 50% of volunteers did not prefer the online education system. The experimental research activities were disrupted, and it took ~72 days to resume. This study concludes that during the lockdown, the lifestyle, eating habits, daily routine, behaviour, and education were compromised but not significantly and therefore, it reverted after the lockdown.

Published: September 2022

Background: Depression is a worldwide common mental disorder. According to the WHO reports, the total number of people with depression was more than 300 million in 2015, which was corresponding to 4·4% of the world’s population. The aim of the study is to explore the associations of dietary pattern and depressive symptoms. This cross-sectional study used data of staff members and their assistants in Minia University. Dietary pattern was obtained from three days food records and average was taken. Depressive symptoms were assessed by center of epidemiological studies for depression (CES-D) scale. Logistic regression models were used to estimate the associations of dietary pattern with the risk of depressive symptoms. A total of 210 individuals aged 25 years and older were included in this study. Low fiber intake was the most important factor associated with presence of depressive symptoms (CES-D ≥16); OR= 12.130, C.I.95%= 2.718- 54.139, P= 0.001. The present study demonstrated that dietary fibers might reduce the risk of depressive symptoms in adults.

Published: September 2022

In this research, we present a modified approach to “the least cost method” (LCM) of finding “the initial basic feasible solution” (IBFS) to the fuzzy transportation problem (FTP). The problem is in a foggy environment where the cost of transporting the product, the resources, and the demand in the destinations are fuzzy numbers. We solved the (FTP) by converting it to an equivalent crisp form using (a robust ranking technique). A numerical example is presented to demonstrate the suggested approach.

Published: September 2022

The effect of cypermethrin pesticide on juvenile rohu (Labeo rohita) was determined in captive condition. Live and healthy rohu (average initial weight 21g) were exposed to five concentrations of Cypermethrin 0.63, 0.13, 0.025, 0.005, 0.001 ppm and one control group (no pesticide) with two replications for each treatment. The mean temperature and pH in the experimental tanks were 27.53±0.41ºC and 7.22±0.013 ppt, respectively. The highest growth recorded in control tank was 0.2g per week, where as nosignificant growths were found in 0.001 ppm and 0.005 ppm concentration. Rohu reared in the 0.13 ppm had the lowest growth. The median lethal concentration values were found at 0.025, 0.005 and 0.001 ppm for 9th, 17th and 20th day, respectively. Behavioral patterns were observed in both lethal 0.63, 0.13 ppm and sub lethal concentration 0.025 ppm. L. rohita in toxic media exhibited erratic and darting movements with imbalanced swimming activity, which might be due to the malfunctioning of neurotransmitters, followed by hyper and hypo opercula activity, loss of equilibrium and mucus secretion all over the body were observed

Published: September 2022

Increasing salinity in ground water, arable lands and many rivers of the southwest coastal area are important consequences of sea level rise as well as climate change. The scarcity of fresh drinking water was the very initial impact of salinity intrusion that possessed multidimensional threats on human existence. Thus, the current study is designed to know the potential problems caused by salinity intrusion and the protective measures and coping mechanisms adopted by coastal people for salinity. To meet the objectives, two southwest coastal villages Joynagar and Parjoynagar of Kamarkhola union at Dacope upazila in Khulna district of Bangladesh were selected purposively as over past few decades along with other southwest coastal areas these two villages were suffering from increasing salinity intrusion. A collection of qualitative techniques including case study, FGDs and KIIs were adopted to gather vivid data. The results of the study found that apart from physical and psychological health salinity intrusion also possessed adverse impact on social health. The very common physical problems include acidity, stomach problem, several skin diseases and psychological problems include hypertension. Besides, there happened social health problem because of the physical and psychological problem. For example, early marriage happened because salinity gradually changed the skin color from light to gray. However, the findings also presented that all preventive measures of community and authority were taken only for securing fresh drinking water instead of taking preventive measures for purifying washing and cooking water that led to several diseases and problems. In conclusion, it can be recommended that increasing freshwater reservoirs can be a suitable solution for salinity intrusion of the coastal areas.

Presidents
Authors: Csink Lóránt
Published: September 2022

Comparing heads of states theoretically is a rather difficult task.1 The comparative method is useful only if the institutions set together are comparable. In general, several institutional solutions exist for the status and competences of heads of states; nevertheless, there is a significant difference between the queen (or king) of the United Kingdom, the president of the United States and the German federal president, even though they all function as head of states. This chapter focuses on the presidents of Central Eastern Europe. Firstly, it examines the role of presidents of the region; secondly, it analyses the ways of elections; thirdly, it addresses the competences of the presidents; and finally, it deals with the termination of office. This chapter does not deal with the crucial question of the extent to which the president is involved in daily politics or how they affect governance; this issue, which concerns the form of government, is the topic of a separate chapter. However, the form of government is inseparable from the president, and this chapter necessarily reflects on the president’s role in state power.
Constitutional Adjudication
Authors: Tóth J. Zoltán
Published: September 2022

The present chapter deals with constitutional adjudication1 in eight East Central European countries (in alphabetical order: Croatia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia and Slovenia). It concentrates primarily on the tasks and competences of the institutions performing the function of constitutional adjudication. Constitutional adjudication is a broader concept than the activities of constitutional courts. It encompasses constitutional rights adjudication, which will be the subject of a separate chapter in this book, and all the mechanisms of constitutional adjudication that relate to the establishment and enforcement of violations of constitutional provisions. It is therefore important to note that the issue of constitutional adjudication does not extend to the proper investigation of the functioning of constitutional institutions but only to cases where someone (typically a state body) violates the provisions of the constitution, and this violation must be established and repaired by a body appointed to do so.2 All the CEE countries under review adopt a so-called concentrated (centralised) constitutional adjudication, which means that constitutional protection will typically be the responsibility of a dedicated, separate body – the constitutional court. Other bodies in some of the legal systems under examination, however, may also provide constitutional protection. Although this chapter mentions the competences of these other bodies, only the constitutional courts themselves will be analysed in detail – in terms of their competences and functions – due to the space available. Today, based mainly on the German model,3 five (plus one)4 typical main activities of concentrated constitutional courts function in all the CEE legal systems examined in this study: (1) norm5 control (both with abstract and concrete manner; (2) individual (direct) protection of fundamental rights (fundamental rights adjudication), (3) resolution of conflicts on competence; (4) adjudication regarding the functioning of the state (charges against public officers, banning of political parties etc); and (5) the adjudication on election disputes;6 furthermore, +1) the interpretation of the constitution in connection with all these and also as separate competence.7 All of this also indicates that constitutional adjudication is an activity separated (institutionally and mostly functionally) from ordinary adjudication and basically cannot be considered as the part of judicial system in the classical division of powers by Montesquieu.
Bekeringsverhalen: aansluiten bij, betrokken zijn bij, en afscheid nemen van de nieuwe religieuze beweging Uit de Bron van Christus
Authors: Jansma Lammert Gosse
Published: September 2022

In the debate on religious conversion it has been often stated that conversion stories are not factual accounts but interpretations in retrospect of the convert’s biography, which he has rewritten after the way the (ideal) conversion is depicted in the doctrine of the group he has joined. Is the rewriting a continuous affair or does it stop when the conversion has been fashioned after the way the religious group prescribes? In the article we present data on the prophetic healing movement ‘Uit de Bron van Christus’ (From the Source of Christ) to give insight into how converts describe their conversion process and if reinterpretation does end after accepting the conversion model of the movement.

In this article we deal with the impact of the declining number of church members on so-called open Protestant primary schools in the Netherlands. Such schools are characterized by an open admittance policy in respect to pupils from different religious or worldview backgrounds as long as their parents respect the particular identity of the schools. Besides, a growing number of teachers are no longer church members themselves although they are still believers in the Christian tradition. Our first research question is how these schools deal with the religious identity dimension in this particular and new situation. Our second question is why parents who are not church members and not even Christians still prefer to send their children to open Protestant schools. We will answer these two questions based on the results of two empirical research projects.
Spiritualiteit in een seculiere tijd
Authors: Bernts Ton
Published: September 2022

Charles Taylor’s monumental study on our ‘secular time’ comprehends promising theoretical aspects for current research on ‘new spirituality’. In the article I elaborate this with respect to Taylor’s concept of spirituality. He regards spirituality as a lived experience of fullness, that may spring off different, also non-religious sources, and that is to be characterized by a certain degree of ambivalence. In the article I give three examples how Taylor’s concept of spirituality may contribute to theoretical discussions in the sociology of religion. In the first place, the notion of functional equivalents of religion may be questioned because it conceals the differences between spiritual sources and the historical shifts in the underlying spirituality and the contexts in which it is lived. Secondly, the assumption of a stable demand of religion as part of the religious market theory seems to neglect the diversity of spiritual sources and the possibility of low spiritual or religious needs. Finally, Taylor’s concept of spirituality sheds light on the confusing opposition between religiosity and (new) spirituality.

Covid-19 menyebar dengan cepat dari manusia kemanusia lain melalui kontak langsung dari manusia yang telah terjangkit virus tersebut. Penyebaran virus ini sangatlah cepat dan sangat membahayakan. Agar dapat menekan penyebaran penyakit tersebut pemerintah melalui menteri pendidikan dan kebudayaan memberlakukan peraturan agar pengajaran pembelajaran tidak boleh dilaksanakan secara tatap muka langsung. Agar dapat tetap berjalannya pendidikan pemerintah memberlakukan pembelajaran secara jarak jauh atau dinamakan daring. Pemanfaatan teknologi informasi dalam proses pembelajaran sudah umum digunakan seperti multimedia pembelajaran, laboratorium virtual, pembelajaran jarak jauh (e-learning) dan sebagainya. Banyaknya aplikasi e learning yang tersedia saat ini sangat membantu guru dalam melaksanakan proses pembelajaran sehingga peserta didik mereka tetap mendapatkan pengetahuan dari guru.

Pemanfaatan media pembelajaran di era new normal pada dunia pendidikan saat ini sangat dibutuhkan guna meningkatkan kualitas dan mutu di dalam pendidikan. Pada masa pandemi covid-19 sekarang ini seluruh pendidikan mengharuskan pembelajaran terjadi secara online. Pandemi covid-19 ini telah menyerang hampir tiga tahun lebih sejak 2019 lalu. Sehingga dunia pendidikan mengharuskan memperbaharui cara mengajar, serta penggunaan teknologi yang sangat penting. MIS AL-HIDAYAH CK merupakan institusi pendidikan yang berusaha memanfaatkan perkembangan teknologi agar proses pembelajaran berlangsung secara efektif terkhususnya pada setiap pembelajaran berlangsung. Pemanfaatan di MIS AL-HIDAYAH CK ini sudah ada sejak sebelum terjadinya covid-19, tetapi belum digunakan secara semaksimal mungkin, karena banyak kendala yang dihadapi oleh para guru dalam mengaplikasikannya di dalam pembelajaran. Seperti para guru belum memahami media-media pembelajaran yang sering digunakan yakni Microsoft Power Point, para guru belum mengerti cara membuat media pembelajaran yang menarik perhatian para siswa, sehingga siswa merasa bosan dengan pembelajaran biasa. Oleh karena itu pemanfaatan media pembelajaran terkhusus aplikasi Microsoft PowerPoint merupakan alternatif bagi permasalahan tersebut, di mana dengan menggunakan aplikasi tersebut para guru dapat merubah proses belajar mengajar yang dirancang sedemikian sehingga menjadi media pembelajaran yang menarik secara daring maupun luring. Oleh karena itu, pengabdian kepada masyarakat yang dilakukan tim adalah melakukan pelatihan pemanfataan media pembelajaran di era new normal di MIS AL-HIDAYAH CK sebagai sarana untuk mengembangkan kemampuan para guru dalam memberikan pembelajaran terbaik di dalam kelas.
