No full textThe terrestrial reptile fauna of Libya is under-documented due to limited research stemming from political instability. The author conducted fieldwork in Libya, specifically in Marsa El Brega, during two visits in 2013 and 2014. Out of the 25 species known from Libya's historic Cyrenaica province, 7 species were identified in the surveyed area
Present distribution of the threatened killifish Aphanius fasciatus (Actinopterygii, Cyprinodontidae) in the Maltese Islands
No full textA survey of the nine localities from which the threatened Killifish Aphanius fasciatus has been recorded in the Maltese Islands showed that large and thriving populations exist at Salina, at the Simar and Ghadira bird sanctuaries and in reservoirs at Marsa and Ghadira. The Simar and Ghadira populations are introduced and originate from a mixture of animals collected from Salina and Marsa. The provenance of the Marsa population is unknown but it is possibly autochthonous to the Marsa area. The Salina and possibly the Marsa populations seem to be the only remaining natural populations of this species in the Maltese Islands.peer-reviewe

Through the eyes of "The Guardian" newspaper : Securitization and humanitarian discourses and the arrival of Hungarian (1956-1957) and Kosovar refugees (1999) on Prince Edward Island, Canada
No full textThis study was conceptualized from the author‟s experiences while he was completing the
Canada Exchanges with the Mediterranean: Migration Experiences and their impact on
Nationalism, Trans-nationalism and Identity (CEMMENTI) exchange with the University of
Malta in 2008. While completing the program, the author was enrolled in a Contemporary
Migrations course through the European Research and Documentation Centre and also
volunteered at Marsa Open Refugee Centre. The powerful role that the media has in shaping the
opinions Maltese have towards refugees was identified in the Migrations course and also through
the author‟s personal experiences at Marsa Centre. Based on this premise that the media has a
role in affecting the reception experiences of refugees, this research examines sets of articles
from Prince Edward Island‟s The Guardian newspaper which focused on refugee arrivals during
the 1950s, 1980s, and 1990s. The 1950s articles demonstrate that the arrival of Hungarian
refugees to the Island was welcomed by residents. This is contrasted by the 1990s articles which
demonstrate that apprehension existed among residents impending the arrival of Kosovar
refugees to the Island. The articles from the 1980s discuss two discourses: a discourse which
securitizes refugees and a discourse which reaffirms humanitarianism among residents of the
host community

Tiivistelmä - Referat - Abstract Tavoitteet.Kehittyneissä maissa ilmastonmuutokseen merkittävästi vaikuttavaa ruokahävikkiä tuottavat eniten kotitaloudet ja ravintolapalvelut. Suomessa kansalaisjärjestöistä martat ovat olleet yhtenä toimijana kuluttajille suunnatussa ruokahävikkineuvonnassa. Neuvonta ei ole tavoittanut siinä määrin kuluttajia kuin olisi ollut toivottavaa. Tämän tutkimuksen tehtävänä on selvittää marttojen kotitalousasiantuntijoiden kokemuksia toteuttamastaan onnistuneesta ruokahävikkineuvonnasta ja ajatuksia siitä, miten onnistunut ruokahävikkineuvonta toteutuisi heidän kokemustensa pohjalta parhaiten. Tutkimuksen lähtökohdaksi otettiin onnistumiskeskeinen työnkehittäminen, joka pohjautuu positiivisen psykologian vahvuuskäsitteeseen. Tässä tutkimuksessa tutkimuskysymykset jäsentävät tutkimustehtävää markkinoinnin klassisen 4P-mallin mukaan eli huomiota kiinnitettiin neuvonnan sisältöön (product), hintaan (price), saavutettavuuteen (place) ja viestintään (promotion).
Menetelmät. Tutkimusstrategiaksi valittiin laadullinen tutkimusote. Tutkimusaineisto koostui kuudesta marttojen kotitalousasiantuntijan teemahaastattelusta. Kotitalousasiantuntijat edustivat eri marttapiirejä ja he olivat toimineet kotitalousasiantuntijoina vajaasta yhdestä vuodesta 41 vuoteen. Haastatteluaineisto litteroitiin ja se analysoitiin sisällönanalyysin menetelmällä hyödyntäen markkinoinnin klassista 4P-mallia.
Tulokset ja johtopäätökset. Tutkimus osoitti, että eniten onnistumisen kokemuksia jo toteutuneessa neuvonnassa kotitalousasiantuntijat kokivat neuvonnan sisällössä. Toiminnallisuus ja konkreettiset esimerkit puhuttelivat kuluttajia. Myös medianäkyvyys koettiin toimivaksi. Kehittämisajatuksena aineistosta nousi esille, että martat menisivät sinne, missä ihmiset jo valmiiksi ovat tai mihin nämä tulevat paikalle jonkin muun asian houkuttamina. Myös marttojen viestinnässä painotettiin selkeyttä ja selkokielisyyttä. Eri kohderyhmien sosiaalisella asemalla ei näytä olevan merkitystä sille, kiinnostutaanko ruokahävikin eettisestä näkökulmasta. Nostamalla ruokahävikkineuvonnassa eettisyys taloudellisuuskysymyksen rinnalle on mahdollista tavoittaa tasapuolisesti kaikki riippumatta kuluttajan tulotasosta.

Abstract Objectives. In the developed countries, most households and restaurant services make the most significant food loss to climate change. In Finland, the Martha Organization, a Finnish home economics organization, have been one of the actors in food information counseling for consumers. Counseling has not reached so much consumers as it would have been desirable. The purpose of this study is to find out the experiences of the Martha’s home economics specialists on successful food information advice and ideas on how best to realize successful food information advice based on their experiences. The success of the research was based on success-oriented job development based on the concept of strength in positive psychology. In this study, research questions are structured according to the classical 4P model of marketing, attention was paid to the product's content (=product), price, availability (=place) and promotion.
Methods. A qualitative research was chosen as a research strategy. The research material consisted of six theme interviewing sessions by the Martha's home economics specialists. The home economics specialists represented different district associations in Finland and had worked as home economics specialists for less than one year to 41 years. The interview material was transcribed and analyzed using the content analysis method utilizing the classic 4P model of marketing.
Results and Conclusions. The survey showed that most of the experience of success in a counseling session that was a content. Functionality and concrete examples addressed consumers. Media coverage was also felt to be working. As a development idea of the material, it emerged that the Marthas would go to where people are already ready or come to the scene by some other thing. The Martha's communications also emphasized clarity and clear language. The social position of different target groups does not seem to matter to the ethical perspective of food loss. By raising food mentoring advice, ethicality alongside the issue of economics makes it possible to reach equally all consumers regardless of the of the consumer's income level.

La Marsa, le TGM et mes souvenirs tunisiens de Claudia Cardinale
No full textThis essay serves as both a personal necrology and a reflection on the cultural and cinematic legacy of Claudia Cardinale, whose passing marks the end of an era for the author. Inspired by the news of her death, the text weaves together personal memories of Tunisia—particularly the sensory experiences of La Marsa, the TGM railway, and the multicultural atmosphere of Tunisian cafés—with the broader impact of Cardinale’s work in Mediterranean cinema.
The author recalls the sounds of early morning trains, the call to prayer, and the linguistic blend of Sicilian, Italian, and Franco-Arabic phrases, all of which evoke a world now preserved in films like Férid Boughedir’s Un été à La Goulette. This cinematic landscape, where Cardinale played a role deeply connected to her Tunisian roots, serves as a backdrop for the author’s own academic and personal engagement with Mediterranean cinema, including neorealist classics like Rocco et ses frères and Le Guépard, as well as Cardinale’s iconic performances in Il était une fois dans l’Ouest, Fitzcarraldo, Mayrig, and 588, rue Paradis.
By blending personal anecdotes with cinematic analysis, the essay explores how Cardinale’s life and work continue to resonate as a bridge between Europe and North Africa, shaping the author’s own memories and the collective imagination of a Mediterranean world that is gradually fading.
Cet essai tient à la fois de la nécrologie personnelle et de la réflexion sur l’héritage culturel et cinématographique de Claudia Cardinale, dont la disparition marque la fin d’une époque pour l’auteur. Inspiré par l’annonce de sa mort, le texte entrelace des souvenirs personnels de la Tunisie – notamment les expériences sensorielles de La Marsa, du TGM et de l’ambiance multiculturelle des cafés tunisiens – avec l’impact plus large de l’œuvre de Cardinale dans le cinéma méditerranéen.
L’auteur évoque les bruits des trains matinaux, l’appel à la prière et le mélange linguistique de sicilien, d’italien et de franco-arabe, un univers aujourd’hui préservé dans des films comme Un été à La Goulette de Férid Boughedir, où Cardinale incarne un rôle ancré dans ses origines tunisiennes. Ce paysage cinématographique, où son jeu a marqué les esprits, sert de toile de fond aux propres engagements académiques et personnels de l’auteur avec le cinéma méditerranéen, incluant des classiques néoréalistes comme Rocco et ses frères et Le Guépard, ainsi que ses performances emblématiques dans Il était une fois dans l’Ouest, Fitzcarraldo, Mayrig et 588, rue Paradis.
En mêlant anecdotes personnelles et analyse cinématographique, l’essai explore comment la vie et l’œuvre de Cardinale continuent de résonner comme un pont entre l’Europe et l’Afrique du Nord, façonnant à la fois les souvenirs de l’auteur et l’imaginaire collectif d’un monde méditerranéen en voie de disparition
Analisis Pergeseran Bentuk dan Makna Dalam Subtitle Film Apple of My Eye (bahasa Mandarin ke bahasa Indonesia)
No full textThe title of this paper is Analyzing the Shifting Form and Meaning on Apple of My Eye movie's subtitle (From Mandarin to Indonesian), The purpose of author to writing this paper is to discover the form and the meaning of shifting process on a movie subtitle with Mandarin as the original language and Indonesian language as the translation language. The method that the author uses in this paper is qualitative and the way it is written is descriptive. There are three methods that the author uses to analyze these papers which are data collective, data analyze and data exposure. The further explanation about how the author collects the data is by taking notes and clustering based on the contained characteristics. After all the data has been collected, the author classifies it on the table. The next technique for collecting the data is SLBC, SLBC stands for Simak Bebas (Reading Correcting), Libat Cakap (Involve). In doing reading correcting, the Author is not allowed to participate in the conversation of the dialogue. The overall result from the author’s analyzes are; (1) there are 13 samples that occurs to be level-shift, (2) there are 126 samples that occurs to be category shifts, and basically category shifts is divided into 4, which are, structure shift, class shifts, unit shift and intra-system shift, and on each shift there is an individual occurrence such as structure shift that occurs to be 44, class shift occurs to be 3, unit-shift occurs to be 80 and intra-system shift occurs to be 0, and the overall sample for form shifting is 140, (3) the total over meaning shift is 18, and basically, there are 2 types of meaning shift and in each meaning shift there are sub-divisions, for the first one is general meaning shift into specific or vice versa, and it has 2 categories, the first one is general meaning to specific meaning and the second is specific meaning to general meaning. General meaning to specific meaning occurs on 7 samples and specific meanings to general meaning occurs on 9 samples. Then, the last one is meaning shift due to different culture perception, and the author finds that there are 3 samples that occurs due to it.The title of this paper is Analyzing the Shifting Form and Meaning on Apple of My Eye movie's subtitle (From Mandarin to Indonesian), The purpose of author to writing this paper is to discover the form and the meaning of shifting process on a movie subtitle with Mandarin as the original language and Indonesian language as the translation language.

A Machine Learning Approach for Mechanism Selection in Complex Negotiations
No full textAutomated negotiation mechanisms can be helpful in contexts where users want to reach mutually satisfactory agreements about issues of shared interest, especially for complex problems with many interdependent issues. A variety of automated negotiation mechanisms have been proposed in the literature. The effectiveness of those mechanisms, however, may depend on the characteristics of the underlying negotiation problem (e.g. on the complexity of participant’s utility functions, as well as the degree of conflict between participants). While one mechanism may be a good choice for a negotiation problem, it may be a poor choice for another. In this paper, we pursue the problem of selecting the most effective negotiation mechanism given a particular problem by (1) defining a set of scenario metrics to capture the relevant features of negotiation problems, (2) evaluating the performance of a range of negotiation mechanisms on a diverse test suite of negotiation scenarios, (3) applying machine learning techniques to identify which mechanisms work best with which scenarios, and (4) demonstrating that using these classification rules for mechanism selection enables significantly better negotiation performance than any single mechanism aloneGreen Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Interactive Intelligenc
Comparing Mediated and Unmediated Agent-Based Negotiation in Wi-Fi Channel Assignment
No full textChannel allocation in dense Wi-Fi networks is a complex problem due to its nonlinear and exponentially sized solution space. Negotiating over this domain is a challenge, since it is difficult to estimate opponent’s utility. Based on our previous work in mediated techniques, we propose the first two fully-distributed multi-agent negotiations for Wi-Fi channel assignment. Both of them use a simulated annealing sampling process and a noisy model graph estimation. One is designed for Alternating Offers protocols, while the other uses the novel Multiple Offers Protocol for Multilateral Negotiations with Partial Consensus (MOPaC), with experimental promising features for our particular domain. Our experiments compare both proposals against their mediated counterparts, showing similar results on social welfare, Nash product and fairness, but improving privacy and communication overhead.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Interactive Intelligenc
