Autonomy : the struggle for survival, self-management and the common. Symposium
help with the urgent political tasks of promoting self-management and building practices and spaces embedded in commoning as survival routes out of the capitalist present.

The degree of self-sufficiency with food products in Slovenia has decreased in the last years. In the article the qualitative analyses of possibilities for self-sufficiency improvement are presented. They are based on comparative analysis

Double sandbar systems are common morphological features along sandy, wave-dominated, micro- to meso-tidal coastlines. Here the AA. use a numerical model to show that the relative importance of self-organization and morphological coupling changes
in favour of the latter with an increase in waterdepth variability along the outer-bar crest. Furthermore, they find that the typical alongshore variability in inner-bar rip-channel scale is indicative of a mixture of self-organization and morphological
coupling rather than self-organization alone. Morphological coupling may thus be more important to understanding and predicting the evolution of inner-bar rip channels than previously envisaged.

The AA. study the possible signatures of a chaotic behaviour or a self-organized criticality state triggered in river meandering dynamics by repeated occurrence of cutoff processes. The analysis is carried out examining, through some robust
obtained by using a suitable physics-based simulation model for river meandering. The results are consistent and show that, at least from a modelling point of view, no evidence of chaotic determinism or self-organized criticality is detectable

and the evolving morphology (that is, self-organization) enforces the development of coupling patterns. The AA. therefore introduce a novel mechanism that blurs the distinction between self-organization and template mechanisms. This mechanism may also be extended
The paper is an attempt by an environmental analyst to show what a self-reflexive approach to environmental assessment might look like and a rumination on the opportunities and challenges such an undertaking entails. It uses a climate change-related
This paper reflects on the employment of photography and caption-writing in research with HIV-positive men-who-have-sex-with-men in Auckland. These methods contribute to illustrate a range of negotiations of self and place beyond diagnosis
The paper deals with household strategies, subsistence agriculture, livelihoods and resilience in Botswana. This article explains that a commonly supported livelihood strategy is not self-evident in rural households. On the basis of a combination
The article deals with terms OGC, Web Service, 3D, CityGML and self-adaption. This paper addresses first the concept for unification of these web services ; and then presents how to implement a 3-in-1 web service. In this way users can access

relaxation times. Recognizing converging trends of stream power or slope and sediment supply as common (but far from inevitable) side effects rather than self-regulation has important implications for interpreting and predicting fluvial systems, and for river
explores the ways young people negotiate and transform place and the impact these practices have on the characteristic orientations of self and belonging.

. Technological systems with large mass-action tend to be comprised of discrete, self-powered units (e.g. trucks). Discretization of transported mass reflects the different locomotion strategy required for transport of solids on land, compared with the transport
The laboratory experiments reported here, in which the key elements were a two-level alternating discharge cycle and the addition of vegetation, demonstrate that plants alone can cause a braided river to self-organize to, and maintain, a single
