The article aims to describe changes in the ways people in developed countries spend their freetime and the associated impacts on freetime and tourism industries. Data acquired from public surveys in both countries were used for this comparison

Space-time economies under free mobility. Competitive equilibria and efficiency
In this paper, a space-time sequence economy with money, storage and transaction /transportation costs of mobile commodities will be considered. Conditions on technologies and households'characteristics will be derived to establish the existence

Reflections on climate variability within selected monthly mean time series in Libya and neighbouring countries

. 26 time series of monthly and annual mean values with an average length of ca. 51 years are examined. It is to be hoped that the data are free from any anthropogenic influences.
This paper contains some results of long-time series analysis with respect to climate variability and change. The data are the mean monthly air temperature, precipitation and humidity at different stations located in Libya and neighbouring countries
Controls on slope-to-channel fine sediment connectivity in a largely ice-free valley, Hoophorn Stream, Southern Alps, New Zealand
The AA. monitored fine sediment mobilization on a slope segment hydrologically connected to a stream in the ice-free Hoophorn Valley, New Zealand. Gerlach traps were installed in ephemeral slope channels to trap surficial material mobilized during
the catchment as a whole. Although the data set covers a relatively short-time period, this systematic approach enabled overall assessment of current controls on slope-to-channel fine sediment connectivity, and its implications for how the sediment transfer
system in a formerly glacierized landscape may change over time.
Uranium series dates from the windy pits of the North York Moors, United Kingdom : implications or late Quaternary ice cover and timing of speleogenesis
for northern England. The location of the windy pits outside of the Devensian ice limits, within the ice-free but periglaciated region, suggests taht the region has remained ice-free since some time before MIS 7. The prevalence of widespread and prolonged

The aim of this study was to determine the geospatial and temporal characteristics of the drought years in Zimbabwe for the period between 1940 and 1999. Using time series analysis, spatial analysis and the Kruskal-Wallistest, the study established

In this paper, a link is identified between the oscillation history, the topographic situation and variations in winter precipitation. The influence of calving dynamics has, at differnt times, both damped and amplified the response to climate change
, but the topographic geometry does not permit large-scale, non climatic fluctuations. The Holocene record of glacier behaviour is therefore probably free of calving anomalies.

Beginning in 1531, the Spaniards brought, from Iberia and Middle America, material elements of their culture which in time were acquired by native people through both imposition and free choice. Depopulation disrupted the native agroecosystem
The early and late Wisconsin maxima were times of prolonged annual sea-ice cover and a short cool period of phytoplankton productivity during the ice-free season. The middle Wisconsin interstade, at least in the southern Bering Sea, had greater

and detachment mechanisms along rock-ice interfaces. Novel laboratory setups were developed to assess the temperature dependency of the friction of ice-free rock-rock interfaces and the shear detachment of rock-ice interfaces. The model explains why all
magnitudes of rock–slope failures can be prepared and triggered by permafrost degradation and is capable of conditioning long para-glacial response times.
