, but it is highly significant and becoming more and more important. In the study the relation of the accessibility and the regional development was presented and the components of accessibility were examined. - (AM)
The education to citizenship is gaining more and more importance in Italian schools. Geography can provide a really meaningful contribution to this field, as the National Indications from 2007 suggest. Geography, a discipline that pays attention
for these species. More than 3/4 of the spawning sites studied were located directly upstream from or within a riffle and were close to slow-flowing areas suitable for use as retreats. Only 20% of the spawning sites lay within a typical pool-riffle sequence. About
. For this reason more than half of the highland spawning grounds analysed had suitable or only slightly restricted conditions for salmonid eggs and larvae.
. It is difficult to assert that any intervention is more international or more local than any other. Organisations and development interventions are often partly structured in scalar hierarchical ways.
Records of extremely damaging storms in the United States during the years 1949-2006 were assessed to define their temporal distribution. A change in climate due to global warming may lead to more weather extremes, including storms. The aim
made an attempt to determine the origin of the sediment by investigating it in the reservoir. More topsoil underlines the role of sheet erosion in the catchment, while more subsoil in the reservoir means considerable gully erosion activity. Six sampling
Nowadays, urban soils attract more and more attention, as they are one of the key elements of the urban ecosystem. The determination of their properties is of great importance both from the aspect of soil science and human health. Therefore, soil
, for the 7 flow events, which are representative of the typical range of hydrographs that normally occur during an annual cycle. As a result fluvial erosion is ineffective at higher peak discharges, and depends more on the duration of more moderate discharges
. Slide failures appear to be closely related to the magnitude of peak river stages, typically occurring in close proximity to the peak phase (preferentially during the falling limb, but in some cases even before the peak), while cantilever failures more
Analysis of hijacking incidents suggests that state failure is associated with less sophisticated attacks, while state weakness encourages more sophisticated attacks. Through case studies of the process by which pirates carry out their attacks
, it calls for an emotional geopolitics of fear which connects political processes and everyday emotional topographies in a less hierarchical, more enabling relationship.
is through a promotion of the idea of everyday nationalism, which combines banal and hot elements in more complex and contingent ways. Such an approach is adopted through an empirical discussion of the campaign in favour of bilingual road signs in Wales
In 2007, the Nahr el-Bared refugee camp in northern Lebanon was the scene of a battle between the Lebanese Armed Forces and a militant islamist group. The urbicide was made more possible by the nature of the political spaces of the camp, in which
with occluded fronts, while the highest maximum precipitation totals are associated with cold fronts. However, the influence of cold fronts on the precipitation pattern is found to be more important in a warm season than a cold one, while the effect of warm
