    Data from: Comparing opportunistic and strategic removal efforts to manage invasive fish species using a dynamic multi-state occupancy modelCorresponding publication: Rogosch, J.S., and J.D. Olden (2021). Comparing opportunistic and strategic removal efforts to manage invasive fish species using a dynamic multi-state occupancy model. Journal of Applied Ecology. doi: 10.1111/1365-2664.14012Contact information: [email protected] (please notify the author of any anomaly in the dataset)Created: 07/14/2021Last updated: 09/03/2021Purpose: We applied a novel dynamic co-occurrence model to evaluate nonnative fish removal efforts across the Lower Colorado River Basin (United States), while accounting for potential interspecific species interactions and variable hydrologic regimes. We examined the co-occurrence of two native fishes of conservation concern and two other representative fishes of endemic assemblages, each paired with a nonnative species hypothesized to have negative interactions with the focal native species. </div

They are of great interest and value to present-day investigators. On the basis of documentary material, the author of the article thoroughly tells the story of the expedition of monument protection courses and the festivals Olden Day on 9th-10th July 1935 and discusses the events fixed in Končius’ photographs (104). The courses were organized by the State Archaeological Commission striving to train more qualified specialists who could properly register decaying monuments of the past. Theoretical knowledge acquired at the courses was strengthened by the expedition to the village of Dubakloniai and at the festival An Olden Day. Owing to the monument protection courses quite a big group of qualified people was trained in the space of a year to collect and fix our heritage. The trainees acquired basic knowledge in the field of ethnography, archaeology, art and architecture. The artists and students of art schools not only familiarized themselves with the heritage of their ancestors but possibly also drew some creative inspiration. The trained land surveyors and cultural technicians, who often had to spend some time in Lithuanian villages and townships, were able to help to preserve the heritage of the past much better. An Olden Day was the first festival of this kind in Lithuania. The organized exhibition featured some objects, clothing and tools used in the past, old customs and dances also deserved their proper attention. The importance of the festival is also witnessed by the fact that it was honored by the visit of the then President Of Lithuania Antanas Smetona. Končius’ photographs that fixed the exhibition An Olden Day in Merkinė, though often lack exact metric, are greatly interesting and useful for familiarizing oneself with the material culture of the past or investigating it. The fixed impressive old edicts collected in one place make possible to imagine the picture of one or another household utensil from this area, its development and beauty. The examples of architecture fixed during the expedition can serve as a perfect material in the studies of wooden building and its decoration in Dzūkija (southeast Lithuania)

    Vraag naar bedrijventerreinen te ruim ingeschat

    No full text
    Nu de economie aantrekt wordt de vraag of we nog nieuwe bedrijventerreinen nodig hebben weer actueel. Bij het beantwoorden spelen ramingen vaak een belangrijke rol. Immers de behoefte aan nieuw terreinen moet met een vraagraming worden onderbouwd (o.a. bij het toepassen van de Ladder voor Duurzame Verstedelijking. Maar hoe goed zijn deze ramingen eigenlijk? Om deze vraag te beantwoorden hebben we verschillende ramingen geanalyseerd en vele secondopiniononderzoeken gereviewd. Daaruit blijkt dat het beleid voor bedrijventerreinen structureel gebaseerd is op een geraamde planningsopgave die boven de daadwerkelijke vraag ligt. De oorzaak hiervoor zit in de (beleidsmatige) keuzen die bij het toepassen van de ramingen worden gemaakt.Vaak wordt uitsluitend gewerkt met economisch optimistische scenario’s en wordt ruimtebesparend beleid niet in de ramingen verwerkt. Hierdoor wordt de vraag systematisch te hoog ingeschat. Dit belemmert een effectieve toepassing van de Ladder voor Duurzame Verstedelijking die is gericht op zorgvuldig ruimtegebruik

    The contemporary Stoa: Redefining the schoolyard as public space

    If the hustle and bustle in the cityscape of London were a movie, than the public space is the stage and the urban texture its décor. The movie would be about culture - city life - and the people who are in it will be its social actors. the different identities of the social actors makes the film heterogeneous by nature.But there is an unbalance in this discourse and it is almost opaque due to the acceptance of it. The decorations, the forms and the infills of the urban texture are not in sync with the many communities that are present in the city. London is one of the most diverse cities in the world looking at its people and their backgrounds. Not even half of its users is British by origin. This number will probably become even less in the future due to the trend of urbanisation. If we look at the architecture and the urban texture of the city it doesn’t show an accurate representation of its users inhabiting the city.At the same time social cohesion of neighbourhoods are depriving due to segmentation and isolation of everyday life. The gap between rich and poor is increasing, activities become more and more digitized and short term population is rising.The determinative architecture stems mainly from the history of England and is part of its culture. that is a natural course of events and there is nothing wrong with that. However to obtain a better understanding of each other, both on an individual as an group level, it is important that people can relate oneself with someone else. Architecture is the most effective asset to make this happen.Heterogeneous cityArchitecture, Urbanism and Building Sciences | Architectural Design Crossover
