Abstract:
Iran is mainly located in the arid and semiarid climate zone and seriously affected by desertification. This is a severe environmental problem, which results in a persistent loss of ecosystem services that are fundamental to sustaining life. Process understanding of this phenomenon through the evaluation of important drivers is, however, a challenging work. The main purpose of this study was to perform a quantitative evaluation of the current desertification status in the Segzi Plain, Isfahan Province, Iran, through the modified Mediterranean Desertification and Land Use (MEDALUS) model and GIS. In this regard, five main indicators including soil, groundwater, vegetation cover, climate, and erosion were selected for estimating the environmental sensitivity to desertification. Each of these qualitative indicators is driven by human interference and climate. After statistical analysis and a normality test for each indicator data, spatial distribution maps were established. Then, the maps were scored in the MEDALUS approach, and the current desertification status in the study area from the geometric mean of all five quality indicators was created. Based on the results of the modified MEDALUS model, about 23.5% of the total area can be classified as high risk to desertification and 76.5% classified as very high risk to desertification. The results indicate that climate, vegetation, and groundwater quality are the most important drivers for desertification in the study area. Erosion (wind and water) and soil indices have minimal importance.

Abstract:
Desertification is a serious threat to human survival and to ecosystems, especially to inland desert oases. An assessment of desertification severity is essential to ensure national sustainable development for agricultural and land expansion processes in this region. In this study, Index of Land Susceptibility to Wind Erosion (ILSWE) was integrated with a Modified Mediterranean Desertification and Land Use (MEDALUS) method and factor analysis (FA) to develop a GIS-based model for mapping desertification severity. The model was then applied to 987.77 km2 in the El-Farafra Oasis, located in the Western Desert of Egypt, as a case study. Climate and field survey data together with remote sensing images were used to generate five quality indices (soil, climate, vegetation, land management and wind erosion). Based on the FA, a weighted value was assigned to each index. Five thematic layers representing the indices were created within the GIS environment and overlaid using the weighted sum model. The developed model showed that 59% of the total area was identified as high-critical and 38% as medium-critical. The results of an environmentally sensitive area index suggested by the original MEDALUS model indicated similar results: 18.37% of the total area was classified as high-critical and 78.73% as medium-critical. However, the sensitivity analysis indicated that weights derived from FA resulted in better performance of the developed spatial model than that derived from the original MEDALUS method. The proposed model would be a suitable tool for monitoring vulnerable zones, and could be a starting point for sustainable agricultural development in inland oases.

Abstract:
Abstract. Desertification is a global environmental problem. It affects harmful on economic, social and environmental that ultimately effects on quality of human life. Thailand is the 174th member of the UNCCD, according to the Thailand report of desertification by LDD (2004). It was found that the area of degraded land or desertification land in Thailand was 33.57 million hectares which were agricultural soil problem. Soil erosion and soil salinity are major problems for agricultural soil in Thailand. Thus, to prevent and fix such problems, assessment and evaluation of soil properties are essential. Lamchiengkrai watershed in Nakhon Ratchasima province presents soil salinity exposure area which is a major problem in the Northeast region of Thailand. This study aims to access a new approach for assessing the extent and the risk of desertification land by MEDALUS model based on geoinformatics technology in upper Lamchiengkrai watershed, Nakhon Ratchasima province. MEDALUS model is the factors of desertification assessment. Four groups of factors were examined, including vegetation (fire risk, erosion protection, and drought resistance), climatic (rainfall and rainfall erosivity), soil (soil texture, electrical conductivity, organic matter, soil depth, drainage, and slope), and human activity factor (land use and soil erosion). The results of the study indicated that 67.25% of the area was classified as high risk, 30.54% was classified as moderate risk and 2.22% was classified as low risk to desertification land. In addition, the factors affected on the high-risk area were climate and vegetation factors. Moderate risk area was influenced by the human activity factor and soil factors.

Abstract:
AbstractIn Algeria, desertification risk is one of the main environmental and also social and economic problems. As much as 20 million hectares of northern Algeria are highly exposed and vulnerable to desertification with large areas falling into his ‘severe’ risk category, because the present massive destruction of vegetation and soils. This study aimed to use geographic information system (GIS) for mapping environmentally sensitive areas to desertification based on Mediterranean Desertification and Land Use (MEDALUS) approach in basin of Hodna, Algeria. Sensitivity is estimated with a modification of the MEDALUS environmentally sensitive area index (ESAI) which identifies such areas on the basis of an index (ESAI) that incorporates data on environmental quality (climate, vegetation, soil) as well as anthropogenic factors. This methodology allows the classification of land in critical, fragile and potentially sensitive areas. The results obtained show that 61% of the area is classified potentially sensitive to low sensitivity. These areas are particularly located in mountain areas. Spatially, the areas sensitive to degradation are as well in the lower region of the Hodna in Highlands consisting mostly of steppe route. The factors that could explain these variations of sensitivity are related mainly to changes in precipitation between the North and the South altitude and pressure of the population and livestock.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper studies the assessment of sensitivity to land degradation of Deliblato sands (the northern part of Serbia), as a special nature reserve. Sandy soils of Deliblato sands are highly sensitive to degradation (given their fragility), while the system of land use is regulated according to the law, consisting of three zones under protection. Based on the MEDALUS approach and the characteristics of the study area, four main factors were considered for evaluation: soil, climate, vegetation and management. Several indicators affecting the quality of each factor were identified. Each indicator was quantified according to its quality and given a weighting of between 1.0 and 2.0. ArcGIS 9 was utilized to analyze and prepare the layers of quality maps, using the geometric mean to integrate the individual indicator map. In turn, the geometric mean of all four quality indices was used to generate sensitivity of land degradation status map. Results showed that 56.26% of the area is classified as critical; 43.18% as fragile; 0.55% as potentially affected and 0.01% as not affected by degradation. The values of vegetation quality index, expressed as coverage, diversity of vegetation functions and management policy during the protection regime are clearly represented through correlation coefficient (0.87 and 0.47).

Abstract:
La désertification, en tant que problématique majeure affectant la vie sur Terre, a d’énormes conséquences qui dégradent la qualité de vie des hommes, leurs activités quotidiennes et leurs moyens de subsistance. Pour lutter contre son avancée, les organisations internationales ont mis en place des actions pour ralentir ou arrêter son expansion et réduire ses impacts.Cette thèse s’inscrit dans la lutte contre la désertification en modélisant le processus de dégradation des terres conduisant à la désertification. Deux modèles sont développés : le premier combine des automates cellulaires continus et l'évaluation MEDALUS, évaluant la désertification sur la base des indices des facteurs sol, végétation, climat et management. Le deuxième modèle simule la dégradation des terres en utilisant le couple automates cellulaires/Modèle MEDALUS, enrichi par des facteurs anthropiques comme les pratiques d'utilisation des terres, le facteur d'exploitabilité et l’appartenance foncière, formant le Modèle Amélioré de Désertification. Ce modèle sert de base au logiciel DESERTIfication Cellular Automata Software (DESERTICAS), permettant de simuler l'évolution spatio- temporelle de la dégradation des terres. DESERTICAS facilite l'exploration de scénarios de dégradation des terres dans le temps et l'espace.Ces modèles développés intègrent des processus dynamiques dans le modèle MEDALUS à la base statique et permettent d’étendre la notion d’état des automates cellulaires classiques à des états continus. L’identification d’un facteur prédominant permet d’agir sur tout le système conduisant à la désertification. Notre étude met en évidence le management, action humaine, comme facteur prédominant affectant indirectement les autres facteurs. Agir positivement sur le management permet d’interrompre les sources de dégradation, de ralentir ou arrêter la dégradation des terres. La théorie du contrôle est également appliquée au modèle d'automates cellulaires développés et permet d’agir sur le facteur prédominant à partir des algorithmes génétiques. En intégrant des actions de protection des terres dans les simulations liées à la désertification, le logiciel DESERTICAS devient un outil d'aide à la décision
Desertification, as a significant challenge impacting life on Earth, has extensive consequences that degrade human life quality, daily activities, and livelihoods. In response, international organizations have implemented actions to slow or stop its progress and reduce its impacts. This thesis focuses on combating desertification by modelling the process of land degradation leading to desertification. Two models are developed: the first combines continuous Cellular Automata and the MEDALUS assessment, evaluating desertification based on soil, vegetation, climate, and management. The second model simulates land degradation using cellular automata approach, enriched with anthropogenic factors like land use practices, exploitability factor and ownership, forming the Enhanced Model of Desertification. This model serves as the basis for DESERTIfication Cellular Automata Software (DESERTICAS), simulating spatio- temporal land degradation evolution. DESERTICAS facilitates scenario exploration by simulating land degradation progression over time and space. The models incorporate dynamic processes into the MEDALUS model, expanding classical Cellular Automata to continuous states. Identifying a predominant factor influencing desertification, management emerges as crucial, affecting other factors indirectly. Positive management actions can interrupt degradation sources, slowing or halting land degradation. The thesis also applies control theory to the Cellular Automata model, aiming to influence the predominant factor using Genetic Algorithms. By integrating land protection actions into desertification simulations, the DESERTICAS software becomes a decision support tool

Abstract:
This research takes an autoethnographical approach to exploring the connections between being a nurse, doing nursing work, and experiencing a mental illness. Data is comprised of autoethnographical stories from 18 nurses. Drawing on Lyotard’s (1988) postmodern philosophy of ‘regimes of phrases’ and ‘genres of discourse,’ the nurses’ stories yielded three motifs: Nursing, Tangata Whaiora (people seeking wellness) and Bullying. Motifs are recurring topical, emotional and contextual patterns which have been created in this research by means of the formation of collective stories from the content of the nurses’ stories, artwork, fictional vignettes and poetry. Interpretation of the motifs was undertaken by identifying and exploring connected or dissenting aspects within and between the motifs. Using Fine’s (1994) notion of hyphenated lives, the spaces between these aspects were conceptualised as hyphens. The Nursing motif revealed a hyphen between the notion of the nurses as selfless and tireless carers, and the mastery requirements of professionalism. The nurses’ hope for caring, belonging, expertise and ‘goodness’ were also features of the nursing motif. The Tangata Whaiora motif revealed the hyphen between being a compliant patient and a self-determined person seeking wellness, and also foreshadowed the notion that the nursing identity does not ‘permit’ the dual identities of nurse and tangata whaiora. This research has found that nurses who have experienced, or are vulnerable to, mental illness negotiate a nexus of hyphens between societal, professional and personal expectations of the nurse. Ongoing unsuccessful negotiation of their identities is exhausting and leads to enduring distress. At times, negotiation is not possible and the nurse is immobilised in a differend of silence and injustice. At such times, the only resolution possible for the nurse is to leave the nursing profession. Bullying surfaced as a feature of the hyphen between the nursing and tangata whaiora identities, as well as being a part of each identity as colonising, silencing and/or discriminatory acts. Successful negotiation between and among the nursing and tangata whaiora hyphens requires a radical restructuring of the nursing image and culture across the education, workplace and personal/clinical areas. Three strategies are proposed for the discipline of nursing to achieve this change: transformatory education, a conscientisation programme, and mandatory emancipatory clinical supervision.

Abstract:
Latin Political Propaganda offers the first comprehensive study of the central role played by the Latin language to celebrate or undermine political power during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–15). Waged as much on the printed page as on the battlefield, this worldwide conflict gave rise to an astonishing variety of Latin writing across the continent – in verse or in prose – on both the pro-Habsburg and pro-Bourbon sides. Ranging from official documents, epic, satirical and panegyric poetry to defamatory pamphlets, letters, historiographical and juridical tracts, medals and ephemeral architecture, this vast textual corpus has gone almost unnoticed. Alejandro Coroleu provides close examination of the literary devices of these texts and shows how imitation of models and figures from classical antiquity was at the heart of the authors’ highly refined verse and prose technique. He also pays attention to the historical and social context in which the texts emerged, and connects the Latin political writing produced at the time with more popular forms of propagandistic discourse (literary or visual) which found its expression in the vernacular. This book reveals how the learned language continued to function – even after the hostilities had come to an end in July 1715 – as an instrument of political discourse and propaganda on both sides of the dynastic feud up until the death of Emperor Charles VI in October 1740. This monograph offers the first comprehensive study of the central role played by the Latin language to celebrate or undermine political power during the War of the Spanish Succession (1702-1715).

Abstract:
AbstractThe target of emission reduction in Germany requires a turn from petrol/diesel motorized private transport toward emission-free transport solutions. Besides electrified cars, bicycles, scooters, and pedelecs become more and more common: easy to finance, easy to use, fast in town, reliable, and emission-free. Hence, many local authorities intend to force bicycle use significantly. Almost every German citizen owns a bicycle; however, roughly 50% are used less than once a month or not at all.Bicycle traffic contributes just 11% to Germany’s modal split (amount of moves). Other countries nearby indicate that pedelec movement will become a significant player in people movement. The means of transports are just one side of the medal of the turn to future transport opportunities.Is it necessary to own vehicles, bicycles, and scooters? There are plenty of scenarios, where private ownership of means of traffic does not solve transport problems and/or lacks of availability at a certain point of need.How does sharing satisfy local transportation needs? How can sharing of emission-free vehicles contribute to a successful future transportation in Germany? The chapter will focus on a few hints to answer these questions, building on findings of studies and field tests and the view beyond the German horizon.

Abstract:
This chapter explores the development of Moorcroft’s work against the background of two major international exhibitions: the British Empire Exhibition at Wembley in 1924, and the Exposition des arts décoratifs et industriels in Paris the following year. His high-profile involvement in the Wembley exhibition, epitomised in his magnificent stand designed by Edward Maufe, was one of the landmarks of his career. His display enhanced his reputation as a ceramic artist, culminating in an article published in the Daily Graphic entitled ‘A Potter of Genius’. Surviving reports written to Moorcroft three or four times a week by his two assistants record the impact made by his ware on the many visitors to the stand, from celebrities to ordinary members of the public. Such was Moorcroft’s status as one of the country’s most innovative potters that he was put under considerable pressure by the Board of Trade to exhibit at the Paris Exhibition. This event would become a focus for extensive reflection about the need to modernise British industrial design. While some argued for the aesthetic and economic benefits of following more closely the European and Scandinavian styles in evidence at the Paris Exhibition, Moorcroft did not. He set out his position in a letter to The Times, arguing for design primarily as a mode of self-expression, not of commercial expediency. For all that his work did not follow the trends of ‘modern’ style, it was nevertheless awarded a Gold Medal at the Exhibition. These are the years of Moorcroft’s greatest commercial success, but this was not the basis of his reputation. He was admired for his distinctive, expressive art, described in one review as ‘cogent and articulate’.

Abstract:
Abstract The Museo della Zecca in Rome holds two sets of wax models for medals which the Italian engraver Benedetto Pistrucci designed for the British state between 1815 and 1820. One medal was to commemorate the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, the other was to celebrate the acquisition of the Elgin Marbles in 1816. Quarrels over Pistrucci’s terms of employment in the British Mint, and the complex design and unusual size of the dies for the Waterloo Medal delayed their completion until 1849, when a subscription for soft impressions in gutta percha and electrotypes substituted for an official award of medals to the now deceased allied sovereigns and the veterans of Waterloo. The Elgin Marbles Medal was never struck, just as an ambitious Waterloo Monument, initially allocated £300,000 by Parliament in 1815, never got beyond the planning stages. But the very conception of the medal and of the monument manifest national pride in the fact that, at long last, Britain’s cultural prowess matched her military might.

Abstract:
The twentieth-century mathematician Thoralf Skolem is known principally for two achievements. The first is the statement and proof of the Löwenheim-Skolem theorem. The second is his construction of countable nonstandard models of Peano arithmetic and set theory when these theories are expressed in first-order (predicate) logic. The Löwenheim-Skolem theorem, for which Skolem gave several proofs, showed that no first-order axiom system can characterise a unique infinite model. Skolem regarded this theorem as casting doubt on the belief that mathematics can be reliably founded on formal axiomatic systems alone. He discovered that first-order logics are necessarily incomplete descriptions of their intended models. There is a vivid contrast between the comprehensive syntactic expressive power of first-order theories and their very limited power to constrain their models to a priori desired models. The startling conclusion he derived from his theorem is known as ‘Skolem’s paradox’. It asserts that concepts such as cardinality must be interpreted relative to a given model and thus have no absolute meaning. Anticipating modern model theory, in a later paper he gave a direct construction of a nonstandard model of first-order arithmetic based on plus and times by a method which anticipated the ultraproduct construction of models of first-order theories. He realised that it might be possible to construct new models for set theory which demonstrate the consistency or the independence of the axiom of choice and the continuum hypothesis. The first goal was realised in the early 1930s by Kurt Gödel’s introduction of the notion of constructability for consistency proofs. The second goal was realised in the early 1960s by Paul Cohen’s introduction of the notion of forcing for independence proofs, for which he was awarded the Field’s medal in 1966.

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:
In the last three decades, Boolean Satisfiability (SAT) solvers experienced a dramatic performance revolution; they are now used as the backend of various industrial verification engines. SAT solvers can now check logical formulas that contain millions of propositional variables. In Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) solvers, predicates from various theories are not encoded using propositional variables as in SAT but remain in the problem formulation. Thus, SMT solvers can be used as backends for solving the generated verification conditions to cope with increasing software complexity from industrial applications. This talk will overview automated software verification techniques that rely on sophisticated SMT solvers built over efficient SAT solvers. I will discuss challenges, problems, and recent advances to ensure safety and security in open-source and embedded software applications. I will describe novel algorithms that exploit fuzzing, explicit-state, and SMT-based symbolic model checking for verifying single- and multi-threaded software. These algorithms were the first to verify multi-threaded C/Posix software based on shared-memory synchronization and communication symbolically. They are implemented in industrial-strength software verification tools, now considered state-of-the-art in the software testing and verification community, receiving 28 medals at SV-COMP and Test-COMP. This achievement enabled industrial research collaborations with Intel and Nokia. Software engineers applied these tools to find real security vulnerabilities in large-scale software systems (e.g., memory safety in firmware for Intel and arithmetic overflow in telecommunication software for Nokia, neither of which had been found before).

Abstract:
The history of optical coatings is an interesting one that spans hundreds of years. The modem phase could be said to begin as long ago as the 17th Century with careful observations of colors and angular effects in thin films, but it was in the middle of the 20th Century that the subject was rapidly propelled from what had been largely peripheral to what became immediately a mainstream subject of critical importance to the development of the entire field of optics. In 1950, Florin Abelès published the text of his doctoral thesis and in it defined and demonstrated the matrix calculation techniques that we still use even in our most advanced computer programs. Until then, laborious iterative techniques had been the norm. Although the use of matrices in applying these iterative techniques had been suggested, it was Florin Abelès who developed the modem matrix method and enabled us to focus our attention in coating design on the layers of the structure rather than the interfaces. This, of course, is well understood today, because it is the method that all of us use, but at that time it was revolutionary. Since then, Florin Abelès has had a constant and major influence on the field both in terms of scientific and technical advances and in terms of the numerous students that he has educated at the University of Paris. He has been recognized in many ways and I mention particularly the award of the 1991 C. E. K. Mees Medal of the Optical Society of America. We are fortunate indeed to have someone to talk to us about the history of optical coatings who has played such an important part in creating it.
