Historical flooding in the Ter basin (Catalonia). History, heritage and territorial development.
This article aims at taking a positive view of historical flooding and the marks this has left on the ...territory as a strategy for territorial development, using the River Ter basin (Catalonia) as an example. It first presents the policy of patrimonialisation of the floods in the Alba-Ter Consortium and the main distinctive features in the studied area, and provides a brief review of the great floods which took place in history. It then sets out, classifies and describes the principal witnesses to the flooding which took place in this Mediterranean river basin. Finally, it looks in more depth at the value, from a heritage and tourism point of view, of some of the most interesting witnesses, such as flood markers, alterations made to certain buildings to deal with the flood risk, natural spaces liable to flooding and hydraulic defence projects.
Cet article a pour objectif de mettre en valeur les inondations historiques et les empreintes qu’elles ont laissées sur le territoire comme stratégie de développement, et ce à travers l’exemple du bassin du Ter (Catalogne). En premier lieu est présentée la politique de patrimonialisation des inondations du Consortium Alba-Ter et les principales caractéristiques de la zone étudiée avec un bref compte rendu des grandes inondations historiques qui s’y sont produites. Ensuite sont montrés, classifiés et décrits les principaux éléments qui témoignent des inondations histori ques survenues dans ce bassin fluvial méditer -ranéen. Finalement, l’article insiste sur la valeur de quelques vestiges particulièrement intéressants d’un point de vue patrimonial et touristique, tels les repères de crue, les modifications apportées aux édifices pour faire face au risque d’inondation, les espaces naturels inondables ou les ouvrages hydrauliques de défense.

A shift is taking place in the religious field from collective, institutional, and tradition-bound religion to increasingly individual, non-institutional, and post-traditional religious forms. This ...article examines how the sociology of religion has responded to this empirical development, paying special attention to two issues to which Meerten Ter Borg has contributed, namely the typologization of the various modes of non-institutional religion and the foundation of non-institutional religion in human nature. I suggest that the sociology of noninstitutional religion can advance, particularly if it adopts a substantial definition of religion, opens up for co-operation with cognitive scholars, and turns its attention to religious bricolage, the modes of belief, and the effect of the internet on non-institutional religion.
The aim of the present study was to prepare silage from whole Spanish mackerel, which is one of the cheapest commercial fish, and an under-utilized species found on both the Pacific and Gulf of ...Mexico coasts. Chemical and biochemical changes during the silage process: pH, total nitrogen (TN), non-protein nitrogen (NPN), lipid oxidation, and trimethylamine (TMA) generated were monitored. The effect of ter-butylhydroquinone (TBHQ) as antioxidant under mechanical stirring and stabilized temperature was also observed. The liquid silage obtained was mixed with sorghum (1:2
w/w), and dried in the sun. This silage-sorghum flour was used to prepare five diets with different silage-sorghum mix inclusions, and evaluated in a 21
d feeding trial with broilers. During the silage process the NPN increased significantly by 85% from the original total nitrogen at 96
h. The protein content in the dried silage and in the silage-sorghum mix was 653 and 169
g
kg
−1 on a dry matter basis, respectively. Minerals were found in high concentration in both fishmeal and silage, since the whole fish with bones and scales was used to prepare the silage, being Ca and P, which were at a higher concentration. Trp was the AA most affected by the silage process. Its concentration in the silage was decreased by 54% compared to that of fishmeal. However, the addition of sorghum supplemented the deficiency of this amino acid in silage. Most of the fatty acids were protected by the antioxidant and the ratio PUFA (poly unsaturated fatty acid)
n-3/
n-6 in fishmeal and silage was 4.7 and 4.9, respectively. In the feeding trial, no differences were found between the weight gain and feed conversion of the control diet and the four diets prepared with increasing amounts of silage-sorghum mix (
P<0.05). It can be concluded that silage-sorghum mix is a good alternative to use as fish wastes or undesirable marine species in poultry feeding. The process does not require sophisticated equipment and the environment is protected.
German geopolitics emerged from the early 1920s. It was noticed in the Netherlands but not broadly embraced. In public discourse the term ‘geopolitics’ was hardly ever used between the First and ...Second World Wars but it became a bit more common with the looming threat of a second war and during the German occupation. Meanwhile Dutch geographers took note of the efforts of Haushofer and his circle. Around 1930, their initial reaction to this project took various forms – constructive criticism, co‐operation and indignant dismissal – but the attention waned over the decade. During the occupation Nazi‐friendly geographers discussed the launching of a new geopolitics. The generally shared Dutch preference for aloofness, neutrality and recourse to international law as the way to approach international relations precluded the formation of a large, responsive public for German geopolitics. The high status of German academia provided an initial audience of Dutch academic geographers.
Being a text of profound personal introspection, the Leal Conselheiro was born to give voice to King Duarte´s meditations on the real problems of human life and Portuguese people. His message was one ...of social projection and had a pedagogical purpose of national dimension, though it meant to cause an effect on the Portuguese moral and cultural identity that he wished to see guided by timeless principles of Christian nature. Created in the Middles Ages, the book will also be a testimony of change and innovation in place, especially because this is a moment of linguistic transition and emancipation in which new and old forms need to coexist. In this essay we will be particularly focused on the verbs ser, estar, haver and ter, observing their semantics and syntactic proximity, achieving a study that involves the intrinsic relation between ser / estar and haver / ter. We’ll analyse their evolution in order to explore common traces and meanings, but also the contexts that mark their individuality. Finally, we shall move towards the research provided by our corpus aiming at its quantitative and statistic treatment. We’ll define the behavioural traces that involve the variables studied and we’ll support the results on a specific group of syntactic and semantic criteria. Conclusively, according to the results, we’ll point to the years between 1428 and 1430 to mark the birth of the manuscript. Placed on the beginning of the middle archaic period, the text reveals mostly cases of variation of forms, not necessarily the total consummation of change.
Various means employed to solve problems associated with the ends (telomeres) of linear DNA chromosomes exhibit one common feature: generation of both intra- and intercellular heterogeneity of ...telomeres at the level of their structural and functional states. We argue that this heterogeneity is not a simple by-product of molecular pathways mediating telomere maintenance. Instead, we propose that these mechanisms were selected
because they generate heterogeneity. Similarly as noise in gene expression, stochastic events at telomeres may have an adaptive value allowing cells to sustain viable and flexible populations, with implications for fields ranging from evolutionary biology to molecular medicine.

In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, millions of people around the world faced the sudden shift to working remotely. This change triggered a range of positive, negative, and neutral reactions, ...which were visible on social media, notably Twitter. This study aims to analyze these complex sentiments to understand the public's perspective on remote working during the pandemic. We sourced extensive Twitter data from Kaggle and Data World platforms, which provided a comprehensive collection of tweets reflecting diverse public opinions. Utilizing this data, we applied three analytical tools, TextBlob, Vader, and RoBERTa, to examine the emotional content of each tweet. Vectorization techniques such as Bag of Words, TF-IDF, Word2Vec, GloVe, and BERT assisted in organizing the data, converting text into numerical form, and optimizing it for analysis with our machine learning models. The main purpose of machine learning classifications is to assess the performance of the sentiment analysis, thereby affirming the credibility of our results' credibility. Our analysis revealed that the amalgamation of RoBERTa, TFIDF, and the Stacking Classifier achieved a significant F1 score of 0.782. This high F1 score highlights the effectiveness of our model in accurately interpreting sentiments related to remote work during the COVID-19 pandemic. These findings underscore the criticality of adaptability and illuminate the essential contribution of real-time data in refining the remote work landscape molded by the ongoing impacts of COVID-19.
The coat complex COPII forms vesicles at the endoplasmic reticulum to transport a variety of cargo proteins to the Golgi structure. Recent biochemical and structural studies reveal the molecular ...mechanism of cargo protein recognition by COPII components. Furthermore, there are at least two distinct ER-to-Golgi transport carrier structures carrying different cargo proteins in yeast and mammalian cells, suggesting several distinct mechanisms for the concentration, selection and exit of cargo proteins from the ER. It will be essential to follow the dynamics of transitional ER sites and cargo protein concentration within the ER in order to understand how these transport processes occur in living cells.
This book, originally published in 1982, begins with an examination of space, and its role in the process of public provision and collective consumption. Variations in provision are linked to the ...Weberian notion of social status and political struggles over consumption and externality issues. Health care and education are considered in spatial contexts, and the whole basis of the electoral system is also discussed together with geographic underpinnings. In each case emphasis is placed on the jurisdictional organization of space by public bodies. The author examines the various examples of spatial cleavages, in which political events are redirected by issues such as nuclear power, airport location, road construction and urban renewal.
