Abstract:
We consider a variation of the Travelling Salesman Problem (TSP) in which the cities visited have non-zero spatial extent, in contrast with the classical TSP, which has destinations that are mathematical points. This new approach opens up both new analyses of the problem and new algorithms for solutions, while remaining an economic first approximation to the standard problem. We present one particular solution that, depending on the number and size of the cities, can improve existing algorithms solving the classical TSP.

Abstract:
This paper summarizes recent excavations in Chalkidike. The ancient city of Mende has yielded evidence of houses and other structures, an archaic cemetery, and Mycenaean to late classical finds. At Polychrono (ancient Neapolis or Aige?) there are archaic and classical structures on terraces, and a cemetery with early infant burials. Three archaic–classical sanctuaries have also been found: (1) at Poseidi, a temple of Poseidon (identified from inscribed votives), robbed and reused in hellenistic and Roman times; (2) at Nea Roda-Sane, a temple to a female deity, with sculptures; and (3) at Parthenonas, a peak sanctuary of Zeus with evidence of animal sacrifice. The implications for Chalkidian relationships with other parts of the Greek world and for the strength of local culture are briefly examined.

Professor John Cook died on 2 January 1994 at the age of eighty-five. His scrupulous and meticulously published field work in the western coastal regions of Turkey, in Caria, Ionia, Aeolis, and above all in the Troas, has made a fundamental contribution to our understanding of the East Greek world. Much historical research in the future will be built up on the foundations he laid. I hope that this present study, which is a product of the same methods of field research into the Classical sites of Asia Minor as he practised, will help to confirm the continuing value of these methods and serve as a fitting tribute to the memory of a great scholar.

Abstract:
The article examines the general trends in design and construction in accordance with the model projects on classicism in Russia and the city of Tomsk. The development stages of design and construction in Russia late in the 18th and early 19th centuries are presented. Stand ard design ensures fast and high-quality construction throughout the country. This phenomenon covers almost and all design areas has a strong impact on the architecture of the Russian cities. The research concerns the preservation of historical buildings built in accordance with the model projects widespread in the Russian cities in the 18–19th centuries. Despite many works on classical architecture in the Russian cities, it has not been studied enough for Siberian cities and, in particular the city of Tomsk.The purpose of this work is to study the development stages of the model design, identify bjects built according to the model projects in Tomsk and other cities of Russia, and carry out the comparative analysis. The following methods are explored: the literature review, comparative architectural analysis and cross-sectional analysis of the data obtained.The novelty is the comparative analysis of classical buildings in Russia. This research involves previously unpublished archival materials and field studies.It is found that in the 18–19th centuries, the spontaneous construction was ceased in Russia.The streets took on clear geometric outlines and the houses met the given requirements accompanied by the model projects. In Tomsk and other Siberian cities, the model projects were based on wooden architecture that continued until the end of the 19th century. Buildings built during this period already had deviations from the classical style, namely the odd number of windows, symmetry breaking, and fillet decoration.

Abstract:
The transformation of cities in the Byzantine and early Islamic Near East was discussed by a number of scholars in the last century. Many of them adopted a traditional approach, claiming that the Islamic conquest caused the total collapse of large classical cities, turning them into small medieval towns. The urban landscape was changed dramatically, with the large colonnaded streets of the classical Polis transformed into the narrow allies of the Islamic Madina.

Abstract:
Ghana is rapidly urbanizing. This urbanization has resulted in villages growing into towns and towns into urbanized areas. Theories and models have been employed to explain the internal structure of urban areas, especially, with respect to land use variations. These models started with the classical urban land use models in America. Urban scholars in Africa have struggled to fit the development of the African cities into these classical models. They have therefore called for African scholars to develop models for urban land use in Africa. This paper sought to identify the common patterns of land use activities which shape the internal structure of Ghana’s secondary cities. The study employed Geographic Information System (GIS) as a major tool of analysis in explaining the patterns in urban areas. This is augmented with in-depth ground observations of the study areas. The findings of the study showed the absence of homogeneity in most of the sectors and undefined industrial zones as contradictions to the classical models. The study further revealed that residential zones were not fully occupied by either lower income, middle income, or higher income residence. The income groups may only dominate in a given sector. Based on the findings, a common pattern is proposed to represent the land uses within the selected secondary cities in Ghana.

Abstract:
Abstract Economic models are built primarily following the classical economic theories, but a challenge to build good models with classical theories is needed to define the exact value of the Earth, which is hardly definable. Quite often national gross product indicator calculation reuses the same performance indicators, where the resource and income distribution system is not linked to production factors. The resource and income distribution system is primarily associated with low productivity (execution of a sales plan, execution of a profit plan, profitability level, increase in market share, personnel turnover rate, hours worked per employee). Changes in the productive and economic structures of the markets result in new innovative growth patterns which, based on customer motivation, are linked to the concentration of capital in regional and national markets, the growth of transnational markets and the development of technology. At the same time, extensive economic development through natural resources leads to deforestation, landscape changes, desertification, swamping and soil fertility renewal. So far, it often has been assumed that economic growth depends on the use of natural resources, and natural resources are unlimited. The results are “resource crisis”: resources are running out and resource prices are rising, thus invalidating a particular model. On the other hand, the eco-economy approach is a sustainable future for the economic modelling. The principle of eco-economy is based on a production system, which relies on re-cyclicality (the basis is the production of zero waste production). For this to happen, a transition to a completely new mind-set is needed. The research results were previously approbated during the graduate meeting of the Baltic DBU scholarship holders from 4 to 6 May 2018 in Latvia.

Abstract:
Every day teachers try to improve their students’ awareness of how life was in Classical times. We talk about mythology, politics, the building of cities and many other aspects that made the ancient world, but what do we actually know and teach about clothing in ancient times? Our society seems to pay a lot of attention to the physical aspect of the ancient world. We know that clothing and adornment are important ways in which people were defined as a part of a social group, yet our students seem to believe that our ancestors just had a poor selection of national garments to make their identity clear.

Abstract:
Focusing on classical urban centres, the thesis discusses the topic of dating archaeological deposits through the study of the embedded assemblages. Although this represents a fundamental activity, routinely carried out after the fieldwork, it is still clearly poorly strucutred both from a theoretical perspective and from a methodological one. Hence, the work proposes a review of the main concepts involved in the issue of dating deposits and proposes analytical and comparative tools to be employed. It follows a taxonomy of archaeological deposits, based on their very informative potential for dating purposes and equipped with case studies. Eventually, the thesis proposes a structured working method, which goes from fieldwork to publishing.
Focalizzandosi sui centri urbani di età classica, la tesi discute il tema della datazione dei depositi archeologici attraverso lo studio dei manufatti in essi contenuti. Nonostante si tratti di un'attività fondamentale e costantemente svolta nelle attività di post scavo, è altrettanto evidente come sia ancora scarsamente strutturata dal punto di vista teorico e metodologico. La tesi presenta pertanto una revisione dei principali strumenti concettuali impiegati nel campo della datazione dei depositi archeologici e propone una serie di strumenti metodologici, di analisi e di confronto, che possono essere impiegati. Segue una proposta di classificazione dei depositi archeologici in base al loro potenziale informativo in termini di datazione, corredata da casi studio esemplificativi. Infine, la tesi propone un vero e proprio metodo di lavoro da applicare nel corso delle operazioni che vanno dallo scavo all'edizione dei dati.

Abstract:
This thesis is a study of four cities and their city-plans. The purpose of the paper is to understand similarities and differences between cities in northern Greece during the Classical period. This is done with a comparative method and Kevin Lynch’s theory of the image of the city. The method and the theory are the foundation for the study. The research question used to be able to fulfil the purpose of the paper is Which similarities and differences exist in the construction of Classical cities in northern Greece and why does these similarities and differences exist? The general plans of the chosen cities are studied, not individual buildings and remains. Aspects such as roads, the placement of city walls, agora, public buildings, and residential areas are compared in the paper. The four cities that were studied in the paper were Amphipolis, Olynthus, Pella, and Thasos. All located in Macedonia or on Chalcidice and Thasos. They were selected based on a few criteria. All were known cities from the Classical period, had been excavated to quite a large extent and were not only religious places or burial grounds. The cities are not exact copies of each other. Olynthus and Pella are built after the Hippodamian plan, but Amphipolis and Thasos are built over time with an organic city-plan. Buildings, structures, and central places are the same in the different cities but how the cities are structured and how buildings are placed vary. The terrain, the landscape, traditions, philosophical ideas could all be part of the cause why the four compared cities have been structured differently. The land the cities have been built on vary which affect how a city can be planned and built. The result of the thesis is that the cities in northern Greece have similarities in what types of buildings and structures can be found in them. How the city is structured and organized are the differences in the city-plans and to which degree depends on multiple factors.

Abstract:
This study explores how Classical Athens and Sparta created the warrior citizen and continued to motivate citizens to fight throughout their lives. It engages with the issues of the 'hoplite ideal', exploring the extent to which it existed in practice and the implications of hoplite ideology for other types of warrior. This study also considers various methods of training and proliferation of state ideology, both formal modes of training such as the Spartan agoge and also informal modes of training such as hunting. Modern sociological and psychological evidence regarding military training and the fostering of aggression are also considered. The important role of religious beliefs and mythology are examined with both the role of gods in battle (for example, in pre-battle sacrifices) and also the depiction of gods and heroes as military figures are considered as potential motivating factors. The potential for inter-state rivalries as played out during Panhellenic festivals and as displayed in Panhellenic sanctuaries is also explored as a motivating factor for individuals and for the state as a whole.

Abstract:
Delottococcus aberiae (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) es un pseudocóccido invasor originario del África subsahariana que fue detectado causando graves daños en cítricos del este de España en el año 2009. Debido al desconocimiento existente sobre esta especie, la gestión de D. aberiae se ha llevado a cabo mediante el uso de tratamientos químicos autorizados contra este tipo de insectos. Sin embargo, la última Directiva Europea (2009/128/EC) sobre el uso sostenible de productos fitosanitarios estipula que la aplicación de plaguicidas en el ámbito agrícola debe reducirse, promoviendo estrategias de manejo más sostenibles como es la aplicación del control biológico de plagas. Además, cuando una especie invasora llega por primera vez a un territorio es necesario estudiar su biología, comportamiento, daños causados y posibilidades de control. En esta tesis se presentan por primera vez estos estudios de biología y comportamiento de la plaga así como un análisis de los daños producidos por D. aberiae. También se han realizado estudios con el objetivo de implementar la aplicación de un programa de control biológico clásico sobre esta especie en cítricos en España. Para analizar la biología y comportamiento de D. aberiae se han muestreado durante tres años varias parcelas de cítricos con poblaciones de D. aberiae en la Comunidad Valenciana. En estas parcelas se han recogido muestras y contabilizado todos los pseudocóccidos presentes, su estadío de desarrollo y el estrato y órgano del árbol donde se encontraban. El periodo de daños al fruto fue estudiado en semicampo y campo mediante la infestación artificial con D. aberiae de frutos de distintos tamaños de diámetro. Por último se estudió el comportamiento y las posibilidades de control biológico de D. aberiae muestreando diversas parcelas de cítricos en su zona de origen (Sudáfrica). Los resultados mostraron que la abundancia de las poblaciones de D. aberiae en cítricos es elevada en primavera y verano, reduciéndose a niveles mucho más bajos en otoño e invierno. Además el insecto completa varias generaciones a lo largo del año, estando dos de ellas muy claramente definidas y siendo las que dan lugar a elevadas poblaciones de la plaga. En cuanto a su distribución, D. aberiae se instaló principalmente en la copa del árbol y se observaron migraciones entre los distintos órganos, mostrando una clara preferencia por el fruto en desarrollo. Entre febrero y septiembre parte de las poblaciones de D. aberiae se encontraron en tronco y suelo, existiendo movimientos de subida y de bajada a la copa en función de la fenología de la planta y las condiciones climáticas. La comparativa entre técnicas de muestreo reveló que las trampas de cartón corrugado proporcionan una medida cuantitativa de la abundancia de D. aberiae en las parcelas. Por su parte, las trampas pegajosas, provistas de hembras de D. aberiae, fueron capaces de detectar los principales vuelos de machos. Por otro lado, D. aberiae causó daños directos al fruto (deformación y/o reducción de tamaño) al alimentarse del ovario de la flor o de los primeros estados de desarrollo de éste. Estos daños son posiblemente debidos a su interferencia con el proceso de división celular. Por último, en Sudáfrica, lugar de origen de la plaga, los mayores niveles poblaciones de D. aberiae se encontraron en verano y la tasa de parasitismo fue máxima en otoño. Entre el complejo de enemigos naturales de D. aberiae encontrados destacaron dos especies, Anagyrus sp. nov. 1 (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) y Allotropa sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae). Ambos parasitoides podrían tener un papel importante en un programa de control biológico contra D. aberiae en España. Por ahora, Anagyrus sp. nov. 1 parece el mejor candidato por sus mayores tasas de parasitismo en Sudáfrica.
Delottococcus aberiae (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) is an invasive mealybug native to sub-Saharan Africa that was detected causing significant damage to citrus fruits in eastern Spain in 2009. Due to the lack of knowledge about this species, the management of D. aberiae has been carried out by the application of authorized insecticides against mealybugs. However, the latest European Directive (2009/128 / EC) on the sustainable use of pesticides stipulates that chemical treatments in agroecosystems must be reduced, promoting more sustainable management strategies such as the application of biological control methodologies. In addition, when an invasive species arrives for the first time in a territory it is necessary to study its biology, behavior, damage caused and control possibilities. This thesis presents for the first time these studies of biology and behavior of the pest as well as a characterization of the damage produced by D. aberiae. The possibilities of implementing a classical biological control program against this species in citrus in Spain have also been studied. To analyze the biology and behavior of D. aberiae, several citrus orchards infested with the mealybug have been sampled for three years in the Valencian Community (eastern Spain). Samples have been collected periodically and the number of mealybugs, their developmental stage as well as the infested stratum and organ where they were present have being recorded. The period of damage to the fruit was studied in semi-field and field conditions by the artificial infestation with D. aberiae of fruits of different diameter. Finally, the behavior and possibilities of biological control of D. aberiae were studied by sampling several citrus orchards in the native area of the mealybug (South Africa). Results showed that the density of D. aberiae populations in citrus orchards is high in spring and summer, decreasing to lower levels in autumn and winter. In addition, the insect completes several generations throughout the year and two of them are clearly defined and result in high population levels. Regarding its distribution, D. aberiae was mostly installed in the canopy of the tree and migrations were observed between different organs, showing a clear preference for the developing fruit. From February to September some mealybugs were found in the trunk and soil, moving upwards or downwards depending on the phenology of the plant and the climatic conditions. The comparison between sampling techniques revealed that corrugated cardboard band traps provide a quantitative measurement of D. aberiae density in the orchards. On the other hand, sticky traps, baited with D. aberiae females were able to detect the main male flight periods. D. aberiae caused direct damage to the fruit (deformation and/or reduction in size) by feeding on the ovary of the flower or on small fruits in development. These damages are probably due to their interference with the process of cell division. Finally, in South Africa, native area of the pest, the highest density levels of D. aberiae were found in summer and the highest parasitism rates occurred in autumn. Among the complex of D. aberiae natural enemies, the two most abundant species were Anagyrus sp. nov. 1 (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) and Allotropa sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae). Both parasitoids could play an important role in a biological control program against D. aberiae in Spain. For now, Anagyrus sp. nov. 1 seems the best candidate because of its higher rates of parasitism in South Africa.
Delottococcus aberiae (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) és un pseudocòccid invasor originari de l'Àfrica subsahariana que va ser detectat causant greus danys en cítrics de l'est d'Espanya l'any 2009. A causa del desconeixement existent sobre aquesta espècie, la gestió de D. aberiae s'ha dut a terme mitjançant l'ús de tractaments químics autoritzats contra aquest tipus d'insectes. No obstant això, l'última Directiva Europea (2009/128/EC) sobre l'ús sostenible de productes fitosanitaris estipula que l'aplicació de plaguicides en l'àmbit agrícola ha de reduir-se, promovent estratègies de maneig més sostenibles com és l'aplicació del control biològic de plagues. A més, quan una espècie invasora arriba per primera vegada a un territori és necessari estudiar la seua biologia, comportament, danys causats i possibilitats de control. En aquesta tesi es presenten per primera vegada els estudis de biologia i comportament de la plaga així com una anàlisi dels danys produïts per D. aberiae. També s'han realitzat estudis amb l'objectiu d'implementar l'aplicació d'un programa de control biològic clàssic sobre aquesta espècie en cítrics a Espanya. Per a analitzar la biologia i comportament de D. aberiae s'han mostrejat durant tres anys diverses parcel·les de cítrics amb poblacions de D. aberiae a la Comunitat Valenciana. En aquestes parcel·les s'han recollit mostres i comptabilitzat tots els pseudocòccids presents, el seu estadi de desenvolupament i l'estrat i òrgan de l'arbre on es trobaven. El període de danys al fruit va ser estudiat en semicamp i camp mitjançant la infestació artificial amb D. aberiae de fruits de diferents mides de diàmetre. Finalment es va estudiar el comportament i les possibilitats de control biològic de D. aberiae mostrejant diverses parcel·les de cítrics en la seua zona d'origen (Sud-àfrica). Els resultats van mostrar que l'abundància de les poblacions de D. aberiae en cítrics és elevada a la primavera i estiu, reduint-se a nivells molt més baixos a la tardor i hivern. A més l'insecte completa diverses generacions al llarg de l'any, estant dos d'elles molt clarament definides i sent les que donen lloc a elevades poblacions de la plaga. Quant a la seua distribució, D. aberiae es va instal·lar principalment en la copa de l'arbre i es van observar migracions entre els diferents òrgans, mostrant una clara preferència pel fruit en desenvolupament. Entre febrer i setembre part de les poblacions de D. aberiae es van trobar en tronc i sòl, existint moviments de pujada i de baixada a la copa en funció de la fenología de la planta i les condicions climàtiques. La comparativa entre tècniques de mostreig va revelar que les trampes de cartró corrugat proporcionen una mesura quantitativa de l'abundància de D. aberiae en les parcel·les. Per la seua banda, les trampes apegaloses proveïdes de femelles de D. aberiae van aconseguir detectar els principals vols de mascles. D'altra banda, D. aberiae va causar danys directes al fruit (deformació i/o reducció de mida) en l'alimentar-se de l'ovari de la flor o dels primers estats de desenvolupament d'aquest. Aquest danys són possiblement deguts a la seua interferència amb el procés de divisió cel·lular. Finalment, a Sud-àfrica, lloc d'origen de la plaga, els majors nivells poblacionals de D. aberiae es van trobar a l'estiu i la taxa de parasitisme va ser màxima a la tardor. Entre el complex d'enemics naturals de D. aberiae trobats van destacar dues espècies, Anagyrus sp. nov. 1 (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) i Allotropa sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae). Tots dos parasitoides podrien tindre un paper important en un programa de control biològic contra D. aberiae a Espanya. Per ara, Anagyrus sp. nov. 1 sembla el millor candidat per les seues majors taxes de parasitisme a Sud-àfrica.

Abstract:
On se propose d’élaborer une nouvelle vision des échanges entre les cités grecques du littoral occidental de la mer Noire et le reste du monde grec de l’époque classique à l’époque hellénistique. En étudiant ces cités de Nikônion à Apollonia, dans une perspective économique, cette thèse se propose de découvrir si elles ont des caractéristiques économiques semblables et si elles suivent le même rythme de développement. Ceci pourra aider à vérifier dans quelle mesure ces cités, qui ont des relations commerciales intenses, peuvent être regroupées en un ensemble économique cohérent. On devra identifier également les acteurs de ces échanges, ainsi que les produits échangés, dont certains (céréales, poissons, esclaves...) n’ont laissé que peu de traces dans les sources archéologiques, épigraphiques et littéraires. La recherche inclut les relations avec les populations et les royaumes de l’hinterland qui influent sur l’exploitation des territoires ruraux de ces cités et qui sont des partenaires commerciaux. Cette recherche permettra de comparer le fonctionnement des échanges avec d’autres parties du Pont-Euxin, notamment le Pont Nord où l’influence d’Athènes est importante durant le IVe siècle. Le but est de pouvoir comparer les flux observés dans l’espace pontique avec ceux existant dans d’autres régions grecques
We intend to develop a new understanding of the trade between the Greek cities of the western coast of the Black Sea and the rest of the Greek world during the Classical and Hellenistic periods. By studying these cities from Nikonion to Apollonia, from an economic perspective, this thesis aims to discover if they have similar economic characteristics and if they follow the same rythm of development. This may help to see how these cities, which have intense trade relations can be grouped into a cohesive economic unit. We will also identify in these exchanges the actors and the traded products, some of which (cereals, fish, slaves ...) have left little traces in the archaeological, epigraphic and literary sources. The research includes the relationship with the population and kingdoms of the hinterland that affect the exploitation of rural areas of these cities and are trade partners. This research will compare the exchanges with other parts of the Black Sea, including the northern part where the Athenian influence is important during the 4th century. The goal is to compare the flow observed in the Pontic area with those existing in other regions of Greece
Ne propunem să elaborăm aici o nouă viziune a schimburilor între cetăţile greceşti de pe țărmul occidental al Mării Negre și restul lumii greceşti, din epoca clasică până în epoca elenistică. Studiind aceste cetăţi, de la Nikonion la Apollonia, într-o perspectivă economică, teza de față îşi propune să afle dacă respectivele cetăţi au caracteristici economice asemănătoare și dacă urmează acelaşi ritm de dezvoltare. Aceasta ne va putea ajuta să verificăm în ce măsură aceste cetăţi, care au relații comerciale intense, pot fi grupate într-un ansamblu economic coerent. Va trebui să identificăm de asemenea actorii acestor schimburi, ca și produsele schimbate, dintre care unele (cereale, pește, sclavi…) nu au lăsat decât puține urme în sursele arheologice, epigrafice și literare. Cercetarea include relațiile cu populațiile și regatele din hinterland care își exercită influența asupra exploatării teritoriilor rurale ale acestor cetăţi și care sunt parteneri comerciali. Această cercetare ne va permite să comparăm felul în care funcţionau schimburile cu alte zone ale Pontului Euxin, în special cu Pontul Nord, unde influența Atenei este importantă pe parcursul secolului al IV-lea. Scopul este acela de a putea să comparăm fluxurile observate în spațiul pontic cu cele existente în alte regiuni grecești

Abstract:
AbstractThis essay explores the medieval belief that disease was spread by the foul odours arising from such common nuisances as butchers’ waste, dung heaps, stagnant water, and tanneries, as a result of which great importance was placed upon fresh, clean air in medieval cities, especially in times of pestilence. It examines the medical rationale behind these ideas, which derived from Classical Greece and reflect sophisticated assumptions about human physiology. It also considers the numerous sanitary measures that were introduced at both a national and local level in pursuit of a hygienic urban environment, and the extent to which ordinary citizens recognised the vital role played by the air that they breathed in preserving or endangering communal health.

Abstract:
AbstractMass migration to the Gulf cities has produced, over time, de facto cosmopolitan situations. Even though cosmopolitanism is somewhat present in national narratives and official propaganda, foreign residents face exclusionary contexts where policies and practices keep them excluded from the national community. This chapter unpacks the internal tensions characteristic of cosmopolitanism in the exclusionary contexts of the Gulf by comparing cities in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia. These tensions operate within migrants’ everyday practices and modes of consumption in urban spaces. We argue that these practices are best understood as a form of segregated cosmopolitanism through which the different migrant communities both acknowledge (and at times consume) urban diversity and maintain certain boundaries. Building upon the analysis of discourses and ethnographic fieldwork in Abu Dhabi, Riyadh and Jeddah, this research engages with theories of cosmopolitanism from a situated perspective. It moves away from the classical, normative approach to cosmopolitanism and highlights the fragility of everyday cosmopolitan situations.

Abstract:
The paper discusses the prospects of integrating the concepts of Digital Earth and Smart Cities to achieve synergy and improve global governance by harmonizing decision supports at different scales. Achieving this goal requires overcoming the scale-dependent differentiation of information systems and thus integration of Smart Cities with their geospatial context. A possible approach can be based on the unique property of spatial and temporal localizations – their invariance for all subjects. Spatial and temporal localizations are fundamentally different from classical "thematic" ontologies, inevitably contradictory and relative. Implementing the concept of "ontological pluralism" will allow the seamless integration of heterogeneous information into a single spatial and temporal volume. The urgency of practical implementation of such systems is demonstrated briefly against the background of the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to find new approaches to the processing and analyzing environmental factors.

Abstract:
The article deals with the application of data envelope analysis (DEA), in examining the efficiency of selected public services provided by municipalities and cities. The method is focused on calculating indicators for individual municipalities and groups of municipalities. When calculating the efficiency, the DEA model with variable returns to scale and superefficiency is used. The distance from the efficiency limit (data envelope) is not measured by Euclidean, as classical DEA models, but by Chebyshev distance. The analysis focuses on examining efficiency within groups of municipalities, defined according to the number of inhabitants and location in relation to development centers, but also these groups in the context of the entire data set. The created model allows to calculate the efficiency of each municipality and monitor its ranking within the given category, but also the type of municipality, administrative district or region. It then shows the practical results of the calculation of efficiency - the achieved average value on the example of schools and municipal police. The variability of the results achieved is subject to interpretation with respect to the services examined. Finally, the limits of DEA use are discussed with regard to the quality of available data and the overall appropriateness of the method for monitoring the efficiency of municipalities.

Abstract:
Desertification is one of the major problems affecting our environment in the 21st century. Indeed, it threatens more than 1.5 million people worldwide and affects a quarter of the land in less than 100 countries, it spreads over half a billion hectares per year and reduces the surface water and groundwater. Thus, according to a report by the Food and Agriculture Organisation written in 1993, the direct and visible impacts of desertification are the damage on crops, on livestock, on the electricity productivity, etc. Indirect impacts are lack of food production, poverty, social upheaval, rural exodus to cities. In this paper, our work consists in modelling the degradation process of land whose advanced level leads to the desertification. The first step consists in assessing the degradation of land with the MEDALUS model developed by the MEDALUS project of the commission of the European Union. This model assesses desertification by its sensitivity index which is the geometric mean of four quality factor indexes of soil, vegetation, climate and management (land use). This assessment method uses the major part of the parameters influencing the land degradation process. The second step is to model the land degradation process using cellular automata (CA) approach. For that purpose, the study area will be divided into a regular grid of cells. Initially, each cell has a state (desertification sensitivity index) whose evolution at each discrete time step depends on the states of its neighbours through a built transition function. As a result, this study allows to introduce a dynamical process in MEDALUS model. Indeed, from an initial configuration of an area, the model can predict its evolution over time and space according to a continuous state transition function that extend the classical CA approach and fit to the MEDALUS model parameters.

Abstract:
The aim of the work is: - Presentation of the critical points in management of cities and villages in the system of services institutions, which is essential to the proper functioning of society and the shaping of space. This subject was raised to answer the question whether the new social behavior can affect the classical principles of organization of space? In particular, can one affect the management of settlement units in the facilities of social services? Currently, in fact a man meets some of his needs in an unreal way (e.g., via electronic techniques), without any limits of distance, space (e.g., by means of transport ), because of the development of social and economic life. - Propose planning solutions for mountain villages located in the Karkonosze, presenting opportunities for development or a stable existence. They have been prospering through its history blending with its architecture and arrangement of buildings in the mountain nature exemplary. Currently, some of which are experiencing difficulties caused by, among others, changes in the modern world, so-called fusion of real and virtual space. There are monofunctional or deprived of basic functions settlements not meeting the residents` needs. The issues were analyzed by the use of case studies method. This led to a selection of specific examples of the phenomenon of the social centers disappearance, shut down of service infrastructure, and on the contrary strengthen their local position. It was assumed that the combination of the contemporary image with their historical forms of settlement can help to find the synthesis of virtual and the real world. As a result of the analyze, it was found: - Elimination of the complementary network of services contributes to minimizing the village in the settlement system. New social customs may even intensify this state; - Gradual modernization of services leads to prosperity of settlement, using new media opportunities; - Reasonable use of potential space of information technology space can contribute to improved well- being and changes in the mountain village.

Abstract:
Information security and associated vulnerabilities have long been a pressing challenge, from the fundamental scientific backstage to the frontline across the most diverse sectors of society. At the tip of the iceberg of this problem, the citizens immediately feel that the reservation of privacy and the degradation of the quality and security of the information and communication on which they depend for the day-to-day activities, already of crucial relevance, are at stake. Naturally though, the challenges do not end there. There is a whole infrastructure for storing information, processing and communication, whose security and reliability depend on key sectors gearing modern society – such as emergency communication systems (medical, civil and environmental protection, among others), transportation and geographic information, the financial communications systems at the backbone of day-to-day transactions, the information and telecommunications systems in general. And crucially the entire defence ecosystem that in essence is a stalwart in preventing our civilisation to self-annihilate in full fulfilment of the second principle of thermodynamics. The relevance of the problem further encompasses the preservation of crucial values such as the right to information, security and integrity of democratic processes, internal administration, justice, defence and sovereignty, ranging from the well-being of the citizen to the security of the nation and beyond. In the present communication, we take a look at how to scientifically and technically empower society to address these challenges, with the hope and pragmatism enabled by our emerging pathways in information physics and complexity. Edging beyond classical and quantum frontiers and their vulnerabilities to unveil new principles, methodologies and technologies at the core of the next generation system dynamic intelligence and security. To illustrate the concepts and tools, rather than going down the road of engineered systems that we can ultimately control, we take aim at the bewildering complexity of nature, deciphering new secrets in the mathematical codex underlying its complex coevolutionary phenomena that so heavily impact our lives, and ultimately bringing out novel insights, methods and technologies that propel information physics and security beyond quantum frontiers.

Full text
Abstract:
Citrus juice flavor quality traditionally diminishes after thermal processing and continuously during storage. Our prior studies found that four of the five most potent off-aromas formed during orange juice storage had not been identified. The primary emphasis of this project was to characterize and identify those potent flavor degrading aroma volatiles so that methods to control them could be developed and final flavor quality improved. Our original objectives included: 1 Isolate and characterize the most important unidentified aroma impact compounds formed or lost during pasteurization and storage. 2. Determination of thiamine and carotenoid thermal decomposition and Strecker degradation pathways in model solutions as possible precursors for the unidentified off-flavors. 3. Evaluate the effectiveness of an "electronic nose" to differentiate the headspace aromas of from untreated and heat pasteurized orange and grapefruit juices. 4. Use model systems of citrus juices to investigate the three possible precursor pathways (from 2) for flavor impact compounds formed or lost during pasteurization or storage. RESULTS - The components responsible for citrus storage off flavors and their putative precursors have now been identified. Certain carotenoids (b-carotene) can thermally degrade to produce b-ionone and b-damascenone which are floral and tobacco smelling respectively. Our GC-O and sensory experiments indicated that b-damascenone is a potential storage off-flavor in orange juice. Thiamine (Vitamin B1) degradation produces 2-methyl-3-furan thiol, MFT, and its dimer bis(2- methyl-3-furyl) disulfide which both produce meaty, savory aromas. GC-O and sensory studies indicated that MFT is another storage off-flavor. Methional (potato aroma) is another off flavor produced primarily from the reaction of the native amino acid, methionine, and oxidized ascorbic acid (vitamin C). This is a newly discovered pathway for the production of methional and is more dominant in juices than the classic Maillard reaction. These newly identified off flavors diminish the flavor quality of citrus juices as they distort the flavor balance and introduce non-typical aromas to the juice flavor profile. In addition, we have demonstrated that some of the poor flavor quality citrus juice found in the market place is not only from the production of these and other off flavors but also due to the absence of desirable flavor components including several potent aldehydes and a few esters. The absence of these compounds appears to be due to incomplete flavor volatile restoration after the making of juice concentrates. We are the first to demonstrate that not all flavor volatiles are removed along with water in the production of juice concentrate. In the case of grapefruit juice we have documented which flavor volatiles are completely removed, which are partially removed and which actually increase because of the thermal process. Since more that half of all citrus juices is made into concentrate, this information will allow producers to more accurately restore the original flavor components and produce a juice with a more natural flavor. IMPLICATIONS - We have shown that the aroma of citrus juices is controlled by only 1-2% of the total volatiles. The vast majority of other volatiles have little to no direct aroma activity. The critical volatiles have now been identified. The ability to produce high quality citrus juices requires that manufacturers know which chemical components control aroma and flavor. In addition to identifying the critical flavor components (both positive and negative), we have also identified several precursors. The behavior of these key aroma compounds and their precursors during common manufacturing and storage conditions has been documented so manufacturers in Israel and the US can alter production practices to minimize the negative ones and maximize the positive ones.

Tyson, Paul. Sovereignty and Biosecurity: Can we prevent ius from disappearing into dominium? Mέta | Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.55405/mwp3en.

Full text
Abstract:
Drawing on Milbank and Agamben, a politico-juridical anthropology matrix can be drawn describing the relations between ius and bios (justice and political life) on the one hand and dominium and zoe (private power and ‘bare life’) on the other hand. Mapping movements in the basic configurations of this matrix over the long sweep of Western cultural history enable us to see where we are currently situated in relation to the nexus between politico-juridical authority (sovereignty) and the emergency use of executive State powers in the context of biosecurity. The argument presented is that pre-19th century understandings of ius and bios presupposed transcendent categories of Justice and the Common Good that were not naturalistically defined. The very recent idea of a purely naturalistic naturalism has made distinctions between bios and zoe un-locatable and civic ius is now disappearing into a strangely ‘private’ total power (dominium) over the bodies of citizens, as exercised by the State. The very meaning of politico-juridical authority and the sovereignty of the State is undergoing radical change when viewed from a long perspective. This paper suggests that the ancient distinction between power and authority is becoming meaningless, and that this loss erodes the ideas of justice and political life in the Western tradition. Early modern capitalism still retained at least the theory of a Providential moral order, but since the late 19th century, morality has become fully naturalized and secularized, such that what moral categories Classical economics had have been radically instrumentalized since. In the postcapitalist neoliberal world order, no high horizon of just power –no spiritual conception of sovereignty– remains. The paper argues that the reduction of authority to power, which flows from the absence of any traditional conception of sovereignty, is happening with particular ease in Australia, and that in Australia it is only the Indigenous attempt to have their prior sovereignty –as a spiritual reality– recognized that is pushing back against the collapse of political authority into mere executive power.
