description: The Alps are an interesting case for studying the relationship between tourism and climate change. Despite a growing number of studies, the climate change impacts on the tourism sector remain uncertain, when the regional and local scale or seasonality are considered. This article presents a risk methodology to assess the spatial distribution of the main challenges and opportunities for winter and summer tourism due to climate change at the sub-regional level on a 2021-2050 scenario. This methodology has been tested on an Italian Alpine area, which consists of very different landscapes from plain to high mountains. The results show that high-altitude municipalities will face the stronger risks for winter touristic activities, due to reduced snow cover duration, but also opportunities to attract in summer tourists escaping from the hotter temperatures of the plain. At the same time, climate change could have secondary negative effects in these areas, as it will increase the frequency and the magnitude of extreme events. The results show that impacts of CC cannot be generalised, even in a limited area; same hazards due to changes in temperature and precipitation patterns can generate very different risk scores, because of local conditions related to exposure and vulnerability factors.

Ein Blick auf drei jüngere und bedeutende Entscheidungen zeigt, dass der EuGH zumeist zu abweichenden dogmatischen Begründungen und auch Ergebnissen gekommen ist. Steckt dahinter das Gespür des Gerichtshofs, mit Blick auf den Gedanken der Gewaltenteilung nicht zu weit zu gehen, aber dennoch den Handlungsdruck auf die verantwortliche politische Ebene zu erhöhen?

The Statistics of Radio Astronomical Polarimetry: Disjoint, Superposed, and Composite Samples
Creators: name: van Straten, Willem
name: Tiburzi, C.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: A statistical framework is presented for the study of the orthogonally polarized modes of radio pulsar emission via the covariances between the Stokes parameters. To accommodate the typically heavy-tailed distributions of single-pulse radio flux density, the fourth-order joint cumulants of the electric field are used to describe the superposition of modes with arbitrary probability distributions. The framework is used to consider the distinction between superposed and disjoint modes, with particular attention to the effects of integration over finite samples. If the interval over which the polarization state is estimated is longer than the timescale for switching between two or more disjoint modes of emission, then the modes are unresolved by the instrument. The resulting composite sample mean exhibits properties that have been attributed to mode superposition, such as depolarization. Because the distinction between disjoint modes and a composite sample of unresolved disjoint modes depends on the temporal resolution of the observing instrumentation, the arguments in favor of superposed modes of pulsar emission are revisited, and observational evidence for disjoint modes is described. In principle, the four-dimensional covariance matrix that describes the distribution of sample mean Stokes parameters can be used to distinguish between disjoint modes, superposed modes, and a composite sample of unresolved disjoint modes. More comprehensive and conclusive interpretation of the covariance matrix requires more detailed consideration of various relevant phenomena, including temporally correlated subpulse modulation (e.g., jitter), statistical dependence between modes (e.g., covariant intensities and partial coherence), and multipath propagation effects (e.g., scintillation and scattering).
A sustainable approach for planning of urban pedestrian routes and footpaths in a pandemic scenario

description: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has forced national and local governments to re-consider the relationship between mobility, urban space and health in order to ensure physical distancing while meeting the travel needs of inhabitants. In the first stage, corresponding to the expansion of infection, mobility was limited to essential workers and freight. In the second stage, with the easing of restrictions, limitations still remained for public transport. Limitations associated with perceived risk of infection significantly influenced travel behaviors, pushing a modal repositioning in demand to active mobility (walking, cycling, and use of micro-mobility). On the other hand, the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines on mobility during the COVID outbreak are mostly directed at dedicating more urban space to cyclists and pedestrians, especially in densely populated urban areas, thus avoiding crowding on public transport and the use of private cars. In the same direction, the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO, 2020) went during periods of stabilization and long-term recovery. It suggests policies and measures for the cities mobility to help people maintain physical distance while moving around the city. In the given conditions, walking becomes predominant for a sustainable mobility scenario, and structural measures (widening of the pathway) or regulatory measures (regulation of pedestrian flows) can be adopted withing the given strategy. Current pedestrian infrastructural offer is severely limited in functional terms by the urban planning and development, therefore measures oriented to enhance non-motorized mobility require the development and planning of new public spaces and infrastructures for pedestrian mobility within the urban layout. Policy makers and town planners need to rethink urban spaces and mobility in the pedestrian perspective. A methodology for classification of pathways, by capacity and level of service, is presented in the paper, on which to base strategies, policies and specific measures to verify pedestrian mobility demand.

description: The scope of this document is to develop a methodological approach, and at the same time providing design applications, in terms of urban regeneration. An increasingly emerging topic in our urban realities. In particular, a systematic analysis of practices and models is reported, in the current context of urban planning, in the regeneration of port-cities. The paper reports a research developed in the university field starting from a public competition. The research starts from the definition of urban regeneration to arrive at the identification of an circular approach and key issues applicable to the Genoa Pra’-Palmaro case study. According to the “learning-by-doing” approach, the Pra’-Palmaro case study is analyzed here to highlight the strategies implemented for a multi-disciplinary and multi-stakeholder urban regeneration project. The research output is a methodological approach that supports the realization of an urban regeneration process thus opening a scientific debate on the topic. Particular attention is paid to current policies and strategies related to concepts such as: sustainability, circular economy, resilience and new technologies. The research can therefore help other port-cities in the world to realize sustainable urban regeneration, also attentive to the participation and involvement of stakeholders.

description: The Sierra de Atapuerca is Mesozoic inlier composed of an anticlinal ridge belonging to the NW extreme of the Iberian Chain (North-Central Spain, Burgos). In this work, we present a geomorphological map of this area, developed using fieldwork, a 5 m resolution digital elevation model, aerial photographs and geological maps. The map covers 207 km2, synthesizing the geodynamic evolution of this area at 1:25,000 scale, where the geological and geomorphological characteristics of the Sierra de Atapuerca and the Middle Arlanzón Valley have facilitated the formation and preservation of archaeo-palaeoanthropological sites for over one million years. The morphogenesis of this region is determined by polygenetic landform development during the Neogene, with four planation surfaces preserved as plateaus in the landscape. During the Quaternary the incision of exoreic fluvial valleys dominated, forming a downcutting staircase model, where a sequence of 14 strath terraces dating from the Early Pleistocene developed. Other landforms in the area include landslides, cones, semi-endoreic areas, colluvial deposits and karstic landforms.

description: The issue of the greenhouse gas emission is one of the main targets for the Covenant of Mayors initiative within the structure of the Sustainable Energy and Action Plans (SECAP). The computation of CO2 emissions for SECAP transport sector was tackled in practice through several methods producing not comparable results and even not reliable scenarios. Considering SECAP as a voluntary planning tool suitable for the management of ecological transition in small municipalities, in this work a computational proposal for transport sector emissions is proposed. The methodological proposal represents an operative guideline, providing accurate results based on easy-accessible data customized for the XS Municipalities. Such approach is characterized by the analysis of two components of emissions stock: a fixed one connected with the vehicles’ fleet of resident population; a variable one depending on the tourism flows generated by specific environmental/cultural attractors. The case study of Castelsaraceno Municipality (Italy) is discussed highlighting the robustness of the proposed approach compared with existing Municipal SEAP evidences and additional checks based on unconventional information sources. Beyond the technical proposal the approach may contribute upgrade and check the Municipal SEAP/SECAP transport sector allowing to adopting consequent effective measures both in policymaking and urban/territorial actions.

Failure and Imperfections of Artisinal Knowledge in the Early Modern Period
Creators: name: Dupré, Sven
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Artisanal textual practices are strategies to deal with the uncertainty of artisanal processes and the whims of materials. Confronted with the precarious nature of artisanal knowledge, variation had always been the most important strategy of error management. Following the dissatisfaction with ways of writing down knowledge, hiding the imperfection of the process of knowledge production and in response to the limits of language in articulating skills, the codification of error emerged as a new strategy in the seventeenth century, pointing to a new conception of the epistemic value of failure and error in the early modern arts and sciences.

description: This study examines street performing arts students’ responses to using improvisation for teamwork during a first year, non-placement, work-integrated learning (WIL) experience. The aim of the study was to investigate: (1) students’ perceptions of improvisation and (2) ways in which to design teamwork assessments that utilise improvisation. Data was collected through surveying students and via a recorded, focus group discussion. The results highlighted students’ understanding of how improvisation works, how it is learnt and that it requires risk taking. From the findings, specific recommendations for designing teamwork assessments that utilise improvisational processes are made via a three-stage model. While the three-stage model presented in this study is intended to advance the field of performance arts education research, the findings are relevant to learning and teaching where improvisation for teamwork is offered.

Municipal finance, density, and economic development. Empirical evidence from a global sample of cities
Creators: name: Kamiya, Marco

Publisher: name: TeMA - Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment

description: This research focuses on how population density may influence the municipal expenditure using a global dataset from UN-Habitat. Specifically, we test its role on different budget categories, including sanitation, waste, water, affordable housing, and security. We find that in general density is likely to be correlated with expenditure. This evidence is not robust across the considered expenditure categories. Rather, population density is likely to influence specific budget items and its explanatory power varies as we consider different measures of it. Among control variables, we point out the significance and magnitude of the regressors related to economic development, which in some cases matters more than density in explaining some expenditure categories. Findings suggest that making cities denser can be a valuable option of urban policy, if the target is expenditure optimization. Nonetheless, this works only when it is combined with a mix of other factors, and location is also considered.

description: Three dinuclear cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes (1–3) of a phenol-based ‘end-off’ compartmental ligand, 2,6-bis[1-(N-ethyl)piperazineiminomethyl]-4-methylphenol (HL), have been synthesized and characterized by spectral analysis. The molecular structure of one of these complexes, 2,6-bis[1-(N-ethyl)piperazineiminomethyl]-4-methylphenolato-diaqua-μ-hydroxo-μ-nitrato-dicobalt(II) nitrate, [Co2(H2L)(μ-OH)(μ-NO3)(H2O)2](NO3)3] (1), was determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The complex exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry around cobalt with a Co–Co distance of 2.9882(8) Å. Electrochemical studies of 1–3 reveal that the redox processes are due to ligand reactions. The EPR spectrum of 3 showed a broad signal at g = 2.11 indicating magnetic interaction between the two copper ions. The μeff values for 1 and 3 are 4.94 and 1.93 BM, respectively, which indicate a spin–spin interaction between the metal ions. Complex 3 caused a cleavage of circular plasmid pBR322 DNA into nicked circular and linear forms in the presence of a co-reactant. Human epidermoid carcinoma cells, A431, were employed for in vitro cytotoxicity studies of the synthesized complexes. The IC50 value of 3 is lower than that of the other two complexes. The copper complex (3) exhibited better chemical nuclease and cytotoxic activity than the other two complexes.
About non-knowledge in Knowledge management for planning: Towards an applied ontological approach

description: This work contains reflections on the awareness of how the lack of knowledge and the unknown are important elements to consider during any territorial and environmental planning process. The unknown can affect dramatically the effectiveness of choices and start a chain of unpredictable consequences. The awareness of such issues emerged dramatically with the recent pandemic. Plans often deal with policy decisions, planning decisions that interest collectivity, human and non-human beings, our space, our territories and our time (or portions of time). Such plans (either for households or a city or a region) have to cope with unexpected events, uncertainties, with unwanted consequences. After an exploration of some theoretical aspects of knowledge and non-knowledge, we argue about the extent to which ontologies can be a useful conceptual approach to deal with the lack of knowledge and the unknown in planning.

description: We present a boundary integral formulation of electromagnetic scattering by homogeneous bodies that are characterized by linear constitutive equations in the frequency domain. By working with the Cartesian components of the electric E and magnetic H fields and with the scalar functions (r·E) and (r·H) where r is a position vector, the problem can be cast as having to solve a set of scalar Helmholtz equations for the field components that are coupled by the usual electromagnetic boundary conditions at material boundaries. This facilitates a direct solution for the surface values of E and H rather than having to work with surface currents or surface charge densities as intermediate quantities in existing methods. Consequently, our formulation is free of the well-known numerical instability that occurs in the zero-frequency or long-wavelength limit in traditional surface integral solutions of Maxwell's equations and our numerical results converge uniformly to the static results in the long-wavelength limit. Furthermore, we use a formulation of the scalar Helmholtz equation that is expressed as classically convergent integrals and does not require the evaluation of principal value integrals or any knowledge of the solid angle. Therefore, standard quadrature and higher order surface elements can readily be used to improve numerical precision for the same number of degrees of freedom. In addition, near and far field values can be calculated with equal precision, and multiscale problems in which the scatterers possess characteristic length scales that are both large and small relative to the wavelength can be easily accommodated. From this we obtain results for the scattering and transmission of electromagnetic waves at dielectric boundaries that are valid for any ratio of the local surface curvature to the wave number. This is a generalization of the familiar Fresnel formula and Snell's law, valid at planar dielectric boundaries, for the scattering and transmission of electromagnetic waves at surfaces of arbitrary curvature. Implementation details are illustrated with scattering by multiple perfect electric conductors as well as dielectric bodies with complex geometries and composition.

description: The Sentinel-2 provides available multispectral bands at relatively high spatial resolution but does not acquire the panchromatic band. In this study, using Sentinel-2 images, the reflectance of metal roofs has been investigated and the differences between these reflections with other high reflections such as saline and dry soils have been evaluated. Bands 2, 3, 4 and band 8, which have a resolution of ten meters, are the most used in extracting different types of reflection. The result of the research shows that using the reflection of materials, it is easy to identify and harvest samples for the purpose of classifying the controlled sample by object-oriented processing. The results show that there is a significant difference between the reflection of the salty soil and the metal roof in the near infrared range, although in the image with the natural color combination, both types of material show a type and a reflection. This paper presents a new approach for extracting training samples from metal roofs compared to saline soils. The classification of SVM as the best method of classification with an accuracy of 96.9% and Kappa coefficient of 0.9 for categorization in this study was selected among other classification methods.

description: Al-Ijarah Al-Mawsufah Fi Al-Dhimmah (Forward Ijarah) is a new form of transactions introduced to the Islamic banking industry which has original ground in the classical books of Islamic Jurisprudence. Most of the classical scholars discussed it with particularized ijÉrah in parallel without any separation of chapters or headings unlike al-BahËtÊ and al-MinhÉjÊ. The scholars of four schools of Islamic Law are unanimously agreed on the legality of forward ijÉrah albeit some contemporary scholars mention the early dispute in this regard and attribute prohibition of forward ijÉrah to ×anafÊ School. This attribution is not accurate as it is proved by their many classical texts. Forward ijÉrah could be more flexible for both customers and banks to the extent that it does not become void if the stipulated usufruct damages while particularized ijÉrah becomes void because of damage of the object. Therefore, there is a need for further research in this regard in order to innovate some new tools that can improve the services of Islamic financial intuitions.

description: Abstract
Purpose – The purpose of this article is to explore the process of implementing LibAnswers, a
reference statistics collection and analysis software, at multiple service points in an academic library
and to outline the benefits of the process.
Design/methodology/approach – The article outlines the process used to implement a statistics
software, including initial testing, development of categories and terms used to define the question
types, and training of library staff.
Findings – Implementing a statistics program at multiple service points takes flexibility and patience.
The biggest challenge faced was developing common terms to define what each desk did and how the
statistics would be used. While this process was useful for implementing the software, it also resulted in
unexpected organizational development opportunity as it allowed others to see and better understand the
functions of different service points. A total commitment to the new program developed through training
and the experiences of those who had used LibAnswers during a test period.
Practical implications – LibAnswers, and similar statistics collection programs, are fairly new
applications in the library field. While they have multiple uses for expanding and simplifying the
collection of reference statistics, this article demonstrates that while implementing statistics software
across multiple service points can be difficult, the process of putting it in place can produce numerous
benefits.
Originality/value – Much has been written on the implementation of reference statistics, but little
has been written in detail about developing a library-wide statistics program. This article fills some ofthe gaps.

description: Sustainability in the automotive sector and appropriate end-of-life (EOL) management options for car tyres are important and constitute global issues. There is currently an oversupply of EOL tyres and the potential of circular economy (CE) tyres and for bio-based (BB) tyres warrants further investigation. Likewise, BB and CE tyres might be an interesting approach to improve the overall sustainability of the tyre life cycle. Research on drivers for the acceptance of CE and BB tyres is currently missing. In 1989, a socio-economy model was created to understand the acceptance of various products. This model is still popular in many areas but does not address sustainability questions of the 21st century appropriately. This article aims to provide a better understanding of the factors which drive acceptance of sustainable tyres. It presents an acceptance model and related influence factors in three areas: variables related to the consumers, perceived product characteristics and stimulating moderator variables. The third aspect refers in particular to labels and certification influencing consumer views on existing product characteristics. This article ends by discussing how availability of such labels could be promoted through eco-labelling of tyres and related standardization, addressing the industry and policy makers to make the automotive sector more sustainable.

description: Injection molding is a complex process for many production engineers as it involves selection of many process parameters to produce quality products to meet customer requirements. Determination of the optimal process parameters in injection moulding is an important design task as it influences part quality, production rate, and production cost and energy consumption. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of selected process parameters in injection moulding on part quality. The paper applies Taguchi's parametric design and analysis of variance (ANOVA) technique to study the effect of process settings of plastic injection molding on part quality. Experimental data are used to identify the relationship between the injection molding process parameters and product quality. Mold surface temperature, melt temperature, mold open time and ejection temperature are selected as the process control parameters. Warpage and sink mark depth are selected as the multi-product quality characteristics.

description: Mit den Urteilen „zur Flüchtlingskrise“ vom 26. Juli 2017 hat der EuGH gezeigt, dass er trotz seiner Sonderrolle, die es ihm erlaubt europarechtliche Normen verbindlich auszulegen, seine Aufgabe als Judikative versteht und nicht als Legislative. Er legt das Recht so aus, wie es das Völker- und das Europarecht verlangen, nämlich in erster Linie nach Wortlaut sowie nach dem Zusammenhang und dem Ziel der Normen.

description: Three dinuclear cobalt(II), nickel(II), and copper(II) complexes (1–3) of a phenol-based ‘end-off’ compartmental ligand, 2,6-bis[1-(N-ethyl)piperazineiminomethyl]-4-methylphenol (HL), have been synthesized and characterized by spectral analysis. The molecular structure of one of these complexes, 2,6-bis[1-(N-ethyl)piperazineiminomethyl]-4-methylphenolato-diaqua-μ-hydroxo-μ-nitrato-dicobalt(II) nitrate, [Co2(H2L)(μ-OH)(μ-NO3)(H2O)2](NO3)3] (1), was determined by single crystal X-ray crystallography. The complex exhibits a distorted octahedral geometry around cobalt with a Co–Co distance of 2.9882(8) Å. Electrochemical studies of 1–3 reveal that the redox processes are due to ligand reactions. The EPR spectrum of 3 showed a broad signal at g = 2.11 indicating magnetic interaction between the two copper ions. The μeff values for 1 and 3 are 4.94 and 1.93 BM, respectively, which indicate a spin–spin interaction between the metal ions. Complex 3 caused a cleavage of circular plasmid pBR322 DNA into nicked circular and linear forms in the presence of a co-reactant. Human epidermoid carcinoma cells, A431, were employed for in vitro cytotoxicity studies of the synthesized complexes. The IC50 value of 3 is lower than that of the other two complexes. The copper complex (3) exhibited better chemical nuclease and cytotoxic activity than the other two complexes.

description: Neben der Geschichte der Dublin-Verordnung als äußerst zähem System einer ungerechten Zuständigkeitsverteilung zwischen Staaten gibt es eine zweite Geschichte der Dublin-Verordnung: Die langsame Stärkung der subjektiven Rechte von Asylbewerbern. Diese Geschichte erhält ein weiteres Kapitel mit dem diese Woche verkündeten Urteil Mengesteab des Europäischen Gerichtshofs. Die Entscheidung ist hochrelevant für die Praxis, weil sie die Fristenberechnung betrifft, bis wann ein Asylsuchender in einen anderen Mitgliedstaat gemäß Dublin-Zuständigkeit zurückgewiesen werden kann. Und die Entscheidung markiert zugleich, dass angesichts politischer Lethargie die größte Hoffnung für eine Veränderung des festgefahrenen Dublin-Systems in den Klagemöglichkeiten liegt.

description: Last week, Advocate General Yves Bot dismissed the claims of Hungary and Slovakia against the EU refugee relocation scheme. The Commission has launched an infringement procedure against the Czech Republic, Hungary and Poland for not fulfilling their quota. The East/West divide in the matter of refugee relocation could be seen as evidence that the former communist countries are culturally backwards, liberally underdeveloped, and have low tolerance levels in regards to cultural and religious diversity. Yet there is no empirical research that shows that the East is more racist and xenophobic than the West. What else could explain this dangerous phenomenon?

description: In the spring - autumn of 2023, yearlings of common carp were grown in floating cages in the Tuyabuguz reservoir in Uzbekistan, fed with balanced high-protein feeds Aller Aqua, which caused rapid growth of carp and rapid maturation. Already in winter, 2-summerlings of both sexes reached their first sexual maturation with a standard body length of 41 - 46 cm (in pond fish hatcheries, carp reaches sexual maturation at the age of 3). Absolute fecundity in January was 1072.8 - 3008.4 (on average 1773.2) thousand eggs.

description: Aqueous solution of diclofenac sodium (DCFNa) from commercial analgesic pill was electro-oxidized on platinum and stainless steel (SS) anodes. On platinum anode, 66% degradation of the parent drug was achieved at pH 4.5 with a corresponding COD reduction of 49% for a specific charge of 4200 Coulombs/L. Degradation and COD reduction were less at higher pHs of 8.5 and 10.9. A number of intermediates were detected with some of them persisting at the end of the treatment. On SS anode, 84% drug removal and 80% COD decline were achieved for a specific charge of 4200 Coulombs/L at pH 10.9, owing to combined electro-oxidation and electrocoagulation. Contrary to platinum anode, here the drug removal and COD reduction were lesser at lower pHs of 8.5 and 4.5. Electrocoagulation was found to proceed with the organics directly forming complex with iron in the matrix of the SS anode with the iron oxidizing to Fe(III) at pH 10.9 and Fe(II) at pHs 8.5 and 4.5. Intermediates detected in residual liquid were much less in number and abundance.

description: Europe-Asia Studies (Impact Factor: 0.58). 05/2014; 66(4):536-556. DOI:10.1080/09668136.2014.899767 EditABSTRACT The paper looks at the European Union’s impact on corruption in Slovakia, both before and after the country’s accession to the European Union. It shows that even though pre-accession channels of inﬂuence diminish or disappear, membership brings new means of inﬂuence. Our methodology looks beyond institutional changes and explicit anti-corruption mechanisms. Before 1999, the European Union’s inﬂuence on corruption was close to zero, and between 1999 and 2004, its inﬂuence was strong and positive. Post-accession developments are more ambiguous, but despite an apparent worsening of corruption after 2004, we observe a transformation rather than a loss of European Union inﬂuence.
Advances in sympathetic nerve recording in humans

description: In humans, sympathetic activity is commonly assessed by measuring the efferent traffic in the peroneal nerve. The firing activity is the sum of several active neurons, which have the tendency to fire together in a bursting manner. While the estimation of overall sympathetic nervous activity using this multiunit recording approach has advanced our understanding of sympathetic regulation in health and disease no information is gained regarding the underling mechanisms generating the bursts of sympathetic activity. The introduction of single-unit recording has been a major step forward, enabling the examination of specific sympathetic firing patterns in diverse clinical conditions. Disturbances in sympathetic nerve firing, including high firing probabilities, high firing rates or high incidence of multiple firing, or a combination of both may impact on noradrenaline release and effector response, and therefore have clinical implications with regards to the development and progression of target organ damage. Understanding the mechanisms and consequences of specific firing patterns would permit the development of therapeutic strategies targeting these nuances of sympathetic overdrive.
