Most of the military conflicts in the last decades with participation of the Armed forces of our country took place in the mountain landscape, namely Afghanistan, counterterrorist operations in the Northern Caucasus, peacemaking missions in South Ossetia and Abkhazia. The warriors passed through «trouble spots» know that a war in mountains is not the same as a war in plain and it requires special preparation. It is necessary to take into consideration factors of climate and geography which influence medical provision in mountains as well as sanitary casualty’s formation and mode of evacuation and treatment. Based on literature data, the historical facts of warfare conduction in mountains were presented. Factors of climate and geography adversely affected the human health during warfare conduction in mountains. The analysis of the mountain training medical provision organization was carried out. Based on that some proposals for improvement of mountain training medical provision of military personnel of the Armies forces of the Russian Federation were formulated

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of handball players training in the conditions of the middle mountains. The research involved handball players with sports qualifications from 2 categories to CMC. Athletes lived and trained at an altitude of 2300 m above sea level. Two variants of the training program were tested. One group of athletes performed a "gentle" motion mode, the other – a "shock" one. Surveys were carried out before the departure of athletes to the mountains, during their stay in the mountains and after the descent from the mountains. Pedagogical testing included exercises characterizing the general and special physical fitness of handball players. The biomedical part of the study was to assess the state of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems at rest and during muscle activity using standard test procedures. It is established that the nature and severity of changes in the functional state of the organism and physical fitness is determined by the mode of motor activity in the mountains. During the period of de-adaptation, there is an expansion of the power reserves of the cardiorespiratory system. Athletes performing a "gentle" motion mode in the mountains demonstrate after the returnt from the mountains the increase in general and special physical fitness. Handball players who performed "shock" training loads in the mountains increased the level of aerobic performance and speed and strength training.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Populations of the endangered mountain nyala Tragelaphus buxtoni are significantly threatened by the loss of critical habitat. Population estimates are tentative, and information on the species’ distribution and available habitat is required for formulating immediate management and conservation strategies. To support management decisions and conservation priorities, we integrated information from a number of small-scale observational studies, interviews and reports from multiple sources to define habitat parameters and create a habitat quality model for mountain nyala in the Bale Mountains. For our analysis, we used the FunConn model, an expertise-based model that considers spatial relationships (i.e., patch size, distance) between the species and vegetation type, topography and disturbance to create a habitat quality surface. The habitat quality model showed that approximately 18,610 km2 (82.7% of our study area) is unsuitable or poor habitat for the mountain nyala, while 2,857 km2 (12.7%) and 1,026 km2 (4.6%) was ranked as good or optimal habitat, respectively. Our results not only reflected human induced habitat degradation, but also revealed an extensive area of intact habitat on the remote slopes of the Bale Mountain’s southern and southeastern escarpments. This study provides an example of the roles that expert knowledge can still play in modern geospatial modeling of wildlife habitat. New geospatial tools, such as the FunConn model, are readily available to wildlife managers and allow them to perform spatial analyses with minimal software, data and training requirements. This approach may be especially useful for species that are obscure to science or when field surveys are not practical.

Full textAbstract:
Emergency situations are objective (regardless of the attitude towards them) spatio-temporal processes, each of which is conventionally divided into five stages, namely: everyday accumulation of negative factors; extreme development of a negative factor; catastrophic event; elimination of the consequences of this event and their remote consequences. They occur on vehicles, man-made and natural objects, areas of the territory, water basins and in mountains, cities and administrative regions. The type of each emergency is tied to a specific catastrophic event that may occur, is happening or has already happened. The main goal of emergency management is to prevent a catastrophic event, and if it occurs, to minimize its consequences. The task of the management process is formulated by stages of the emergency.The main feature of the soils of the Carpathian Mountains is their relative looseness and water saturation. When additional volumes of the aquatic environment appear, which are set in motion by the forces of gravity, significant hydraulic gradients are created, which lead to landslides, mudflows, collapse of mountain slopes and banks of rivers and streams. Natural emergencies caused by hydrological and meteorological events in mountainous areas have five characteristics. This is the inevitability and suddenness of the onset of a catastrophic event, which can cover an extended territory, be accompanied by great destruction and changes in the terrain. Information and technical features of emergency management in a separate mountainous region include a detailed study of the area and monitoring with the local population, geoinformation modeling of disasters and early preparation of action plans, constant training of rescuers and preparation for the use of new rescue equipment – helicopters.

Purpose This study aims to develop a managerial contribution with actors whose mission is the development of sustainable tourism in the mountains. Lastly, they present and discuss the findings. Design/methodology/approach A case study was conducted on the third stage of Mare in Mares, where at the end of this stage, the village stage gîte located 850 m above sea level accommodates hikers. The study began in 2016 and included tourism professionals (bed and breakfast managers, stage gite managers and guides), local elected officials, as well as representatives of the Local Mediation Group, the Regional Natural Park of Corsica, the Corsican Environment Office, SIVOM de la Bravone, the Development Office and breeders in the pig and beef sector. Findings The results show that the hiker numbers at Mare a Mare (800 hikers over a short period) are not an obstacle to sustainable mountain tourism. In contrast, wild fishing, pig and cattle wandering and the deficit of waste water treatment plants in some of the villages of Mare a Mare, contribute to endangering the strategy of sustainable development and sustainable tourism in mountains. Research limitations/implications The limitations of the study are its focus on just one stage of the Mare-to-Mare sentier de grande randonnée footpath and, secondly, the possibility that the paths may not be usable in future as climate change impacts occur. Originality/value The purpose of this study is to make a managerial contribution in relation to the action that needs to be taken, beginning with a trial in Corsica. Specifically, managerial support would involve a training course on the actions needed for – decision-makers, managers, politicians – whose responsibility it is to develop sustainable tourism in the mountains. Given this broad recommendation, the content of the training and action needed should be based on the concept of territorial resilience, as well as aspects of complex thinking and planning based on a systemic approach.

Full textAbstract:
Background: The presence of women in ultramarathon competitions has become increasingly frequent. Physiological adaptations and response to maximum exercise are influenced differently according to gender. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the differences observed in ultramarathon or ultratrail athletes (mountain races over 42 km), at rest (physiological adaptations) and post-endurance exercise [exercise-induced cardiac fatigue (EICF)], stratified by training parameters. Methods: Twenty-five athletes (6 women) who participated in the Mendoza crossing race (55 km in the mountains) were evaluated before and after the end of the race using Doppler echocardiography and myocardial deformation techniques (post-processing). Training and running parameters were documented with sports watches. Immediate post-endurance exercise blood withdrawal was performed to document variables associated with cardiac fatigue. Results: The race was completed by 24 athletes, 19 men (42±12 years) and 5 women (38±4 years). Women and men presented similar training loads and completed the race with no difference in time. Decreased left myocardial function parameters (EICF) were observed in 50% of men and 5% of women. Conclusions: Despite no differences in training characteristics were found, less baseline physiological adaptation and a lower incidence of EICF was observed in women.

This article discusses the impact of hiking on the recreation of the human body as a whole. Analyzed and summarized the practical experience of climbing a group of activists on Mount Kilimanjaro and research of scientists in the field of physical culture and sports, as to the organization and realization of training meetings in mountainous areas, which will effectively and purposefully improve a physical, mental and spiritual health of human, apply various forms and methods of physical education, which is aimed at forming a stable motivation for a healthy lifestyle. In a study called attention to the recreational component, which is aimed at restoring health and efficiency through recreation in the bosom of nature, by means of difficult routes. This type of recreation includes mountaineering, hiking in the mountains, deserts, rafting on mountain rivers. This is not a new category of recreation, but it has some features, namely, the extreme component associated with risk. It requires not only good physical training, but also courage, perseverance, determination.
In addition to the recreational component, we were interested to learn about the behavior of participants in the climb to Mount Kilimanjaro, as previously they were involved in other sports or lead a healthy lifestyle, not related hypoxic failure. Thus, in pedagogical observation, participated (n = 17 people.) At different ages and physical fitness, climbing was conducted from 20 to 26 February 2021. During the pedagogical observation, attention was paid to the following indicators: heart rate, pressure, oxygen saturation, air temperature, etc. All the results of the study were reflected in the mountain classification.
The paper used methods of analysis and synthesis of scientific, educational and special literature and own observations.

Goal. Development of a two-day educational hike with student youth along one of the most visited ranges of the Carpathians - the Svidovets massif. Training in a competent approach to the organization and conduct of mountain hiking, trouble-free passage of routes. Advanced training in the field of travel, students who master the curriculum within the Faculty of Geography. Where training is provided for tourist sections, clubs, tour operators and other tourist organizations. The research methodology is based on the application of the methodology for the development of hiking tourist routes. Methods of description, comparison, analysis and generalization were also used. In determining the specific sub-area within which the route was laid, cartographic materials were used: tourist map «Svydivets» (2018) scale 1:50000 and mobile application Mapy.cz. Accordingly, with their help, the relief of the territory was assessed and the need to use certain technical means to pass the track was determined. The scientific novelty lies in the development of a two-day educational walking route as an element of the educational process. This training route is a logical continuation of the disciplines «School Tourism» and «Geography of Outdoor and Indoor Correction» in the formation of relevant practical skills. The formation of skills is a logical final element of the formation of the relevant competencies of the modern student: knowledge (obtaining in lectures) - skills (performing tasks in seminars) - skills (application of acquired knowledge and skills in practice). Results. A two-day walking tourist route has been developed in the Svidovets massif with the «conquest» of the very top of Mount Bolshaya Bliznitsa. This route was completed on July 15-16, 2019 by 2nd year students of the Faculty of Geography of KNUTSh specialties «geography of recreation and tourism», «secondary education» and «regional development management». Accordingly, the planned hike for students allowed to gain some knowledge in the field of behavior in the mountain environment, learn certain rules, regulations in the organization of sports tourism, which in the future will increase the safety of hiking and active tours in the mountains. The practical value lies in the formation of skills for organizing and conducting hiking tours, movement in mountainous areas, organizing a camp, cooking food in the field. This route is included in the professionally oriented practice for 2nd year students of the Faculty of Geography of the specialties «recreational geography and tourism» and «secondary education».

Full textAbstract:
In addition to cultural heritage values, Kosovo is characterised by natural heritage values; these values identify different areas in Kosovo as potential sites for protection under UNESCO’s Man and Biosphere (MAB) program and the Convention Concerning the Protection of Cultural and Natural Heritage. These natural values (i.e. geomorphological, hydrological, biodiversity- and ecosystem-related) are found mainly in the massifs of Kosovo’s four mountain ranges, i.e. the Sharr Mountains, the Bjeshket e Nemuna (Albanian Alps), the Koritnik Mountains, and the Pashtrik Mountains. These regions provide the largest number of potential sites for nomination to the World Heritage List or the MAB program.Of the natural heritage values, 19 geomorphological areas of international importance were identified; additionally, 3 areas had regional (Balkan) importance, and 19 sites were caves. Furthermore, 152 glacial and nival lakes and a bifurcation (i.e. hydrological values), approximately 200 species and subspecies that are endemic to the Balkans, 8 locally endemic, 9 endemic and endemic-relict plant associations and 1 endemic animal species (i.e. biodiversity values), and ancient Beech forests (i.e. ecosystem values) were considered for conservation.Consideration of the above mentioned areas for protection under UNESCO would provide a legal framework for the protection of natural and cultural values in Kosovo as well as support their sustainable development.Additionally, protecting these areas would promote the development of environmental and educational projects and training as well as the research and monitoring of issues related to nature conservation and sustainable development at local, regional and international levels.

Research methodology The paper employs ethnographic interviews, a quantitative and qualitative data analysis of publicly accessible data and literature review. Case overview/synopsis With drought conditions expected to worsen in at-risk areas thus amplifying wildfire likelihood, this case explores the organizational and natural dynamics involved with wildfire management. The case engages students to explore the interactions between wildfire, wildland firefighters and agency organizations drawing from the natural resource dependence theory within a sustainability context. When completing the discussion questions, students are challenged to explore how organizations can use discursive closures to eliminate conflict and control meaning surrounding potentially controversial and politicized topics such as wildfire management. Complexity academic level This interdisciplinary case would be appropriate for undergraduate and graduate students in business and STEM classes. Optimal classes include organizational behavior, organizational communication and sustainability. Other appropriate classes include strategic management, applied business decisions, public relations, public policy, crisis management and for corporate training purposes.

Geographically, Nepal is divided into three regions, namely; the Terai, the hills, and the mountains. Nepal is prone to many types of disasters due to the various causes and one of the main causes is its geographic setting. Some disasters and hazards are prevalent to all over the country, some are area specific. Mountain and high altitude hazards are unique in nature and have distinct features and they pose several challenges for the rescue and relief operations. Disasters in mountain regions of Nepal have multi-dimensional effects on human life, property and the environment. The paper analyzes the mountain disasters, their nature and their impacts. It also focuses on the institutional as well as legal arrangements regarding disaster rescue. For this purpose, a qualitative descriptive and analytical method is applied to achieve the desired objectives of the study. This paper depends upon the secondary source of data available in several works of literature; journal articles, books, news articles, government reports, and websites. The paper finds that the frequencies of mountain disasters are low in comparison to other parts of Nepal, but they are diverse and complex. There are institutional and legal mechanisms for disaster risk reduction, but they are not adequate to respond mountain disasters effectively. All security agencies along with private sectors involving in mountain search and rescue operations do not have sufficient mountain-specific rescue units, training, and logistics.

The paper intends to examine the logic of agricultural practices on upper slopes of the Bamboutos Mountainswhich cut across the South West, West and North West regions of Cameroon. The zone is located between latitude, 5o 32’ and 5o 51’N, longitude, 9o 56 and 10o 09’ E and it extends from an altitude of 2000m to 2700m. After developing a conceptual framework that reviews the key concepts and theories of agricultural practices. Both primary and secondary data were collected from the eight localities which constitute the area under study to collect data effectively from 162 respondents. Analysis was done with the help of SPSS,`1 Excels 2016 and the result is presented in tables, charts and graphs. Correlation and regression techniques are used. The results of the study revealed that Agricultural practices is the likelihood of the Bamboutos mountains dwellers. Majority of the respondents are male, age between 30-40 years, and holder of just FSLC.Farmers experience has positive and significant correlation with method of conserving farm products, types of farm tools used and applicability of chemicals but a weak rank correlation between crop rotation and level of education. Equally, crop rotation and mixed farming is significantly and positively influenced by education attainment of farmers. Five distinctive steps were identified for successful farming in the area like elsewhere. For the third objective of the article, a good number of problems plaguing the agricultural practice on the Bamboutos mountain were identified ranging from frequent farmergrazer conflict, insecurity, to more general problem as resistance of farmers to adapt to new techniques, expensive nature of farm input, poor farms to market roads, acute short of funds and personnels. Improving farms infrastructures, training and recruiting more personnels, reestablishing agricultural banks, and breaking land tenure obstacle among other strategies can go a long way to stimulate agricultural practice in the mountain area.

Abstract. River restoration design methods are incrementally improved by studying and learning from monitoring data in previous projects. In this paper we report post-restoration monitoring data and simulation analysis for a Natural Channel Design (NCD) restoration project along 1600 m of the Batavia Kill (14 km2 watershed) in the Catskill Mountains, NY. The restoration project was completed in 2002 with goals to reduce bank erosion and determine the efficacy of NCD approaches for restoring headwater streams in the Catskill Mountains, NY. The NCD approach used a reference-reach to determine channel form, empirical relations between the project site and reference site bankfull dimensions to size channel geometry, and hydraulic and sediment computations based on a bankfull (1.3 yr return interval) discharge to test channel capacity and sediment stability. The NCD project included 12 cross-vanes and 48 j-hook vanes as river training structures along 19 meander bends to protect against bank erosion and maintain scour pools for fish habitat. Monitoring data collected from 2002 to 2004 were used to identify aggradation of pools in meander bends and below some structures. Aggradation in pools was attributed to the meandering riffle-pool channel trending toward step-pool morphology and cross-vane arms not concentrating flow in the center of the channel. The aggradation subsequently caused flow splitting and 4 partial point bar avulsions during a spring 2005 flood with a 25-yr return interval. Processing the pre-flood monitoring data with hydraulic analysis software provided clues the reach was unstable and preventative maintenance was needed. River restoration and monitoring teams should be trained in robust hydraulic analytical methods that help them extend project restoration goals and structure stability.

The goal of the trial is to study the impact of outdoor activities on athletes’ functional status and physical performance during their stay in the middle mountains and the subsequent readaptation period. Materials and Methods. The study involved nine male athletes aged 19–22, specializing in middle- and long-distance running. The studies were carried out during the transitional period of the annual training cycle in Bishkek (Kyrgyz Republic) during a three-week stay in the middle mountains (2000 m) and after returning to the foothills (6th and 20th–21st days of readaptation). During the trial, an outdoor activity regimen was established (alternative motor activity types). During athletes’ stay in the middle mountains (1st–2nd, 6th, 10th, and 18th days) and readaptation period (6th–7th and 20th–21st days), cardiorespiratory system status, respiratory function, and maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) were evaluated. Results. While staying in the middle mountains, athletes demonstrated an increase in external respiration reserves (maximum breathing capacity and functional respiration level), an increase in inotropic and a decrease in chronotropic mechanisms of cardiac activity regulation, and the oxygen-transport blood function optimization (Hb content). VO2max decreased on the 1st–10th days of staying in the middle mountains and returned to the baseline on the 18th day. During the readaptation period (6th day), aerobic capacity (VO2max) increased by 9.7 % (p≤0.05) compared with the indices in the middle mountains (18th day) and exceeded the baseline in the foothills by 5.7 % (p≤0, 05). On 20th–21st days of readaptation, aerobic capacity level did not differ from the baseline. Conclusion. Outdoor activities in the middle mountains can be an effective means to keep athletes’ functional status during the transition period of the annual training cycle. Keywords: middle mountains, athletes, outdoor activities, body functional systems, performance, adaptation, readaptation. Цель – исследование влияния активного отдыха на функциональное состояние организма и физическую работоспособность спортсменов в период пребывания в среднегорье и в последующий период реадаптации. Материалы и методы. В исследовании участвовали 9 спортсменов-мужчин в возрасте 19–22 лет, специализирующихся в беге на средние и длинные дистанции. Исследование проводилось в переходный период годичного цикла тренировки в г. Бишкеке (Киргизская Республика) во время трехнедельного пребывания в среднегорье (2000 м) и после возвращения в предгорье (6-е и 20–21-е сут реадаптации). В период исследования устанавливался режим активного отдыха (альтернативные виды двигательной активности). В период пребывания в среднегорье (1–2, 6, 10 и 18-е сут) и реадаптации (6–7-е и 20–21-е сут) у спортсменов оценивали состояние кардиореспираторной системы, дыхательную функцию и уровень максимального потребления О2. Результаты. Во время пребывания в среднегорье наблюдались увеличение резервов внешнего дыхания (максимальная вентиляция легких и функциональный уровень дыхания), повышение инотропных и снижение хронотропных механизмов регуляции сердечной деятельности, улучшение кислородтранспортной функции крови (содержание Hb). Уровень VO2max снижался на 1–10-е сут адаптации в среднегорье и возвращался к исходному на 18-е сут. В период реадаптации (6-е сут) аэробные возможности (VO2max) повышались на 9,7 % (p≤0,05) по сравнению с уровнем в среднегорье (18-е сут) и на 5,7 % (p≤0,05) превышали исходный уровень в предгорье. На 20–21-е сут реадаптации уровень аэробных возможностей не отличался от исходного уровня. Выводы. Активный отдых в среднегорье является эффективным средством сохранения функциональных резервов организма спортсменов в переходный период годичного цикла спортивной тренировки. Ключевые слова: среднегорье, спортсмены-легкоатлеты, активный отдых, функциональные системы организма, работоспособность, адаптация, реадаптация.

AbstractLakes located in the Polish and Slovak parts of the Tatra Mountains were included in the Tatra diatom database (POL_SLOV training set). The relationship between the diatoms and the water chemistry in the surface sediments of 33 lakes was the basis for the statistical and numerical techniques for quantitative pH reconstruction. The reconstruction of the past water pH was performed using the alpine (AL:PE) and POL_SLOV training sets to compare the reliability of the databases for the Tatra lakes. The results showed that the POL_SLOV training set had better statistical parameters (R2 higher by 0.16, RMSE and max. bias lower by 0.2 and 0.36, respectively) compared to the AL:PE training set. The better performance of the POL_SLOV training set is particularly visible in the case of Przedni Staw Polski where the curve of the inferred water pH shows an opposite trend for the period from the 1960s to 1990 compared to that based on the AL:PE dataset. The reliability of the inferred pH was confirmed by the comparison with current instrumental measurements.

The objective of the research is to study the influence of restorative motor mode at the high altitude on functional condition of the sportsmen body during their stay in the mountains and the subsequent readaptation period. Materials and methods. Ten male sportsmen, whose specialization was medium and long-distance running took part in the research. The research was conducted in Bishkek during the 3-week stay in highlands (2350 m) and after their return to the foothills. During their stay in the mountains the sportsmen followed a specific motional mode in the form of outdoor activities. At the high altitude (2nd, 7th, 12th and 22nd days) and during the readaptation period (5th–6th and 18th–19st days) the condition of the respiratory function, cardio respiratory system and the maximum level of oxygen intake of sportsmen were evaluated. Results. During their stay in the mountains the increase of external expiration reserves and optimization of cardiovascular activity were observed. The level of maximum oxygen consumption after a decrease increased during the period of readaptation by 9,8% (P < 0,05). Conclusions. Outdoor activities at the high altitude conditions allow you to preserve and expand the functional reserves of the body of sportsmen during the transient period of the oneyear training macrocycle.

Self-reliance in the mountains requires the ability to cope with most eventualities that may arise. This includes First Aid (FA) care and rescue of a fellow mountaineer in an emergency situation that can require complex but trainable skills. This FA training should reflect the environmental conditions encountered, as these vary and add complications. The minimum fitness required by the group of rescuer has been estimated to be 3 to 3.5 W/kg body weight. Different deficiencies in FA knowledge were identified according to the climbing style, and the subjects were generally unable to judge their level of knowledge. Rescue services data on the victim’s injuries inform and vary FA content according to the mountaineering activity. Data on the rescuer’s mental health (e.g. acute stress management or post-traumatic stress disorder) are sparse and require further research. This review summarises the known requirements and other considerations to perform preventive specialist mountain FA courses to enable mountaineers to provide health and safety for the victim and for themselves. These skills should be periodically refreshed. Key Words: Accidents, Emergency Medicine, Injury Care, Emergency Situation

Full textAbstract:
Community healthcare workers (CHW) are an important component of rural healthcare service delivery to remote rural communities in developing countries. The field of mHealth proposes that mobile technologies will have a beneficial impact on rural healthcare development. Current analyses advance the proposition that the utilization of mobile technologies leads to the shifting of space and time (Ling & Campbell, 2009). The current research examined the potential for a sustainable mHealth system for CHW in Achham, Nepal. The community aspect of mobile usage was overlaid with a spatio-temporal lens to examine the information and communication needs and practices of stakeholders within the healthcare infrastructure. Fieldwork was conducted in conjunction with Nyaya Health, at the Bayalpata Hospital, in Accham, Nepal. Qualitative research methods, focus group discussions, and in-depth interviews included 57 respondents. The findings revealed that limited relevance and information-sharing, limited access due to individual ownership and low income, and ineffective training programs were key barriers to the delivery of rural healthcare services. The spatio-temporal perspective, particularly community communicative practices, revealed technological mHealth design solutions to alleviate the problems identified. The potential shifts in power relationships by using mobile technologies and hybrid fixed wireless technologies provide opportunities for further theoretical investigation.

Abstract Christmas tree farming in the Southern Appalachian Mountains is a potentially profitable but labor and chemical intensive enterprise. Control of competition from unwanted vegetation usually requires multiple applications of herbicides. Because geese and sheep have traditionally been used as “weeders” in orchards and cropland, the objective of this experiment was to evaluate the potential of these animals for herbaceous vegetation control in Christmas tree plantations. Three types of field trials were conducted at the Upper Mountain Research Station located near Laurel Springs, NC, during two growing seasons (1992 and 1993) to evaluate the natural browsing tendency displayed by sheep and different breeds of geese for different tree species. Food aversion training in a Fraser fir plantation was a special focus of the trials. Sheep and geese were managed to consume herbaceous vegetation through controlled, rotational grazing. Herbage mass of the residue was maintained between 693 and 2,000 kg/ha. Damage observed on four tree species (white pine, Fraser fir, Canadian hemlock, Colorado blue spruce) by “weeder” sheep and geese was dependent on animal species or breed. Untrained sheep and Pilgrim geese were most damaging to 1 yr old transplants (damage scores of 5.3 to 2.3). Trees with damage scores of less than 7 were judged to have reduced commercial potential. "Training" sheep to avoid browsing trees (using a gelatin capsule containing lithium chloride to affect feed selection) is a promising technique worthy of further research. South. J. Appl.

Abstract. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) effectively classify standard datasets in remote sensing (RS). Yet, real-world data are more difficult to classify using CNNs because these networks require relatively large amounts of training data. To reduce training data requirements, two approaches can be followed – either pretraining models on larger datasets or augmenting the available training data. However, these commonly used strategies do not fully resolve the lack of training data for land cover classification in RS. Our goal is to classify trees and shrubs from aerial orthoimages in the treeline ecotone of the Krkonoše Mountains, Czechia. Instead of training a model on a smaller, human-labelled dataset, we semiautomatically created training data using an ancillary normalised Digital Surface Model (nDSM) and image spectral information. This approach can complement existing techniques, trading accuracy for a larger labelled dataset while assuming that the classifier can handle the training data noise. Weakly supervised learning on a CNN led to 68.99% mean Intersection over Union (IoU) and 81.65% mean F1-score for U-Net and 72.94% IoU and 84.35% mean F1-score for our modified U-Net on a test set comprising over 1000 manually labelled points. Notwithstanding the bias resulting from the noise in training data (especially in the least occurring tree class), our data show that standard semantic segmentation networks can be used for weakly supervised learning for local-scale land cover mapping.

During the last decades, the use of mountain trails for running is more and more popular. New trails are opened to allow the runners to practice and compete. This form of human impact on the landscape is new as the new trails do not follow the conservation strategies in design and maintenance as traditional mountain trails constructed by farmers, shepherds and muleteers do. This impact of sport events in nature is not measured and we know little about this impact on vegetation, fauna and soils. We surveyed in September 2018 a trail that was opened in September 2014 and was used for four official mountain trail races, and for training by local runners. Our interviews with organizers and users show that 1054 runners passed during the competition days (4 races in 4 years) and over the 4-year period the trail was used approximately 43,800 times by a runner. We measured the current topography and calculated the soil lost. The results show extremely high erosion rates in the sloping terrain, with the highest rates in the north-facing slope, reaching up to 180.29 Mg ha-1 y-1, while in the flat section of the trail soil erosion rates are 107.56 Mg ha-1 y-1 and in the south-facing slope trail 128.93 Mg ha-1 y-1. Our study demonstrates that (i) soil erosion rates on trails can be easily estimated by measuring the deepest trail position enabling fast and cheap surveys; and (ii) that there is a need to establish conservation strategies on new trails to avoid non-sustainable soil losses in the Mediterranean mountains due to the sport activities such as the mountain trail races.

Abstract. Various statistical, mathematical and artificial intelligence techniques have been used in the areas of engineering geology, rock engineering and geomorphology for many years. However, among the techniques, artificial neural networks are relatively new approach used in engineering geology in particular. The attractiveness of ANN for the engineering geological problems comes from the information processing characteristics of the system, such as non-linearity, high parallelism, robustness, fault and failure tolerance, learning, ability to handle imprecise and fuzzy information, and their capability to generalize. For this reason, the purposes of the present study are to perform an application of ANN to a engineering geology problem having a very large database and to introduce a new approach to accelerate convergence. For these purposes, an ANN architecture having 5 neurons in one hidden layer was constructed. During the training stages, total 40 000 training cycles were performed and the minimum RMSE values were obtained at approximately 10 000th cycle. At this cycle, the obtained minimum RMSE value is 0.22 for the second training set, while that of value is calculated as 0.064 again for the second test set. Using the trained ANN model at 10 000th cycle for the second random sampling, the debris source area susceptibility map was produced and adjusted. Finally, a potential debris source susceptibility map for the study area was produced. When considering the field observations and existing inventory map, the produced map has a high prediction capacity and it can be used when assessing debris flow hazard mitigation efforts.

Bumiaji village is located on the slopes of the mountains with an altitude of 150mdpl. The majority of bumiaji villagers work as farmers. PKM in activities aim to help farmers in terms of increasing income and diverse agricultural produce on partner land. Currently the partner has about 800 m2 of land that is used for citrus cultivation. Because the old citrus harvest process is about 4-5 months, the partner needs additional income in addition to citrus cultivation. The training conducted by the PKM team is: (1) the introduction of hydroponic system knowledge; (2) training to grow vegetables with hydroponic system. By knowing and knowing the hydroponic system farmers / partners can develop hydroponic systems for various organic vegetables in the rest of the land, so that the results obtained are diverse and increase the income of partners.

Ensuring consumer engagement at different levels of the health system – direct care, organisational design and governance and policy – has become a strategic priority. This case study explored, through interviews with six purposively selected ‘insiders’ and document review, how one Medicare Local (now a Primary Health Network, PHN) and Local Health District worked together with consumers, to establish a common consumer engagement structure and mechanisms to support locally responsive, integrated and consumer-centred services. The two healthcare organisations worked as partners across the health system, sharing ownership and responsibility. Critical success factors included a consumer champion working with other highly motivated consumers concerned with improving the health system, a budget, and ongoing commitment from the Medicare Local or PHN and the Local Health District at executive and board level. Shared boundaries were an enormous advantage. Activities were jointly planned and executed, with consumer participation paramount. Training and mentoring enhanced consumer capacity and confidence. Bringing everyone on board and building on existing structures required time, effort and resources. The initiative produced immediate and lasting benefits, with consumer engagement now embedded in organisational governance and practice.

Full textAbstract:
The prediction and calculation of the volume of gravel and/or sand transported down streams and rivers—called bed-load transport is one of the most difficult things for river engineers and designers because, in addition to field measurements, personnel involved in such activities need to be highly experienced. Bed-load transport treated by many engineers marginally or omitted and often receives only minor consideration from engineers or may be entirely disregarded simply because they do not know how to address the issue—in many cases, this is a fundamental problem in river management tasks such as: flood protection works; river bank protection works against erosion; building bridges and culverts; building water reservoirs and dams; checking dams and any other hydraulic structures. Thus, to share our experience in our paper, bed-load transport was calculated in two river/stream mountain catchments, which are different in terms of the characteristics of the catchment area and the level of river engineering works performed along the stream channel—both are tributaries of the Dunajec River and have similar Carpathian flysh geology. The studies were performed in the Mlyne stream and in the Lososina River in Polish Carpathians. Mlynne is one of the streams in the Gorce Mountains—it is prone to flash flooding events and has caused many problems with floods in the past. It flows partially in the natural river channel and partially in a trained river channel lined with concrete revetments. The stream bed load is accumulated in the reservoir upstream of the check dam. The Lososina River is one of the Polish Carpathian mountainous streams which crosses the south of the Beskid Wyspowy Mountains. It mostly has a gravel bed and it is flashy and experiences frequent flooding spring. At the mouth of the Lososina River, there is one of the largest Polish Carpathian artificial lakes—the Czchow lake. The Lososina mostly transports gravel as the bed load to the Czchow water reservoir where the sediment is deposited. In the early seventies, the Lososina was partly canalised, especially in places where passes inhabited areas. The paper compares the situation of bed-load transport in the Lososina River before and after engineering training works showing how much sediment is transported downstream along the river channel to the Czchow artificial lake. Also compared is the Mlynne bed load transport upstream and downstream from the check dam showing how much sediment might be transported and deposited in the reservoir upstream from the check dam and when one could expect this reservoir to be clogged.

Fate, it seems, conjures up all sorts of ways for us to be in a certain place at a certain time. In 1982 as a trainee psychiatrist in the UK, I found myself co-facilitating a group at the Castlewood Day Hospital, then part of the Bexley psychiatric rotation scheme, in the south-east of London. Group psychotherapy was part of our training. Held thrice a week the groups were open-ended and patients ranged from those with interpersonal relationship and personality problems to those with anxiety and substance misuse problems. At the time the experience was somewhat baffling. Not only was I from a different country and culture, my exposure to psychiatry was limited to about 12 months. More often than not I felt lost as I tried to come to terms with ‘group dynamics', ‘reality testing’, ‘transference’, ‘multiple transference’, ‘group cohesion’, ‘group pressure’, etc.

AbstractWe discovered the first peat section covering the entire Holocene in the Hrubý Jeseník Mountains, representing an island of unique alpine vegetation whose history may display transitional features between the Hercynian and Carpathian regions. We analysed pollen, plant macrofossils (more abundant in bottom layers), testate amoebae (more abundant in upper layers), peat stratigraphy and chemistry. We found that the landscape development indeed differed from other Hercynian mountains located westward. This is represented byPinus cembraandLarixduring the Pleistocene/Holocene transition, the early expansion of spruce around 10,450 cal yr BP, and survival ofLarixduring the climatic optimum. The early Holocene climatic fluctuations are traced in our profile by species compositions of both the mire and surrounding forests. The mire started to develop as a calcium-rich percolation fen with some species recently considered to be postglacial relicts (Meesia triquetra,Betula nana), shifted into ombrotrophy around 7450 cal yr BP by autogenic succession and changed into a pauperised, nutrient-enriched spruce woodland due to modern forestry activities. We therefore concluded that its recent vegetation is not a product of natural processes. From a methodological viewpoint we demonstrated how using multiple biotic proxies and extensive training sets in transfer functions may overcome taphonomic problems.
