Predicting valuable forest habitats using an indicator species for biodiversity

2020

Intensive management of boreal forests impairs forest biodiversity and species of old-growth forest. Effective measures to support biodiversity require detection of locations valuable for conservation. We applied species distribution models (SDMs) to a species of mature forest, the northern goshawk (Accipiter gentilis, goshawk), that is often associated with hotspots of forest biodiversity. We located optimal sites for the goshawk on a landscape scale, assessed their state under intensified logging operations and identified characteristics of goshawks' nesting sites in boreal forests. Optimal sites for the goshawk covered only 3.4% of the boreal landscape and were mostly located outside pro…

Teaching practices in first-year university : description and analysis of their implications on student studies

2014

In France, there is little research on university teaching and focusing specifically on teaching practices. This present research aims to explore this concept in two different ways. The first part focuses on the description of the practices implemented by teachers during first-year university lectures. Using in situ observation of lecture practices of 49 teachers from five programmes, Administration, Sociology, Psychology and English, we first show that teachers’ practices mostly rely on traditional methods as defined by Bru (2006). However, we show a variety of practices among teachers. The second part of this research updates our knowledge of the implications of these practices on student…

EUROMEDITERRANEAN BIOMEDICAL JOURNAL: THE RENEWED MANUSCRIPT LAYOUT AND WEB RENDERING FORESHADOW FURTHER JOURNAL IMPROVEMENT.

2017

In January 2006, a new journal, Capsula Eburnea, was born into the Italian scientific publishing scene with the initial goal of creating, at the same time, “an open scientific forum and a blog”, based on the premise that “in medicine, nothing should be considered stable, immutable or unsusceptible to critical review at any time, by any scientist”. The Editorial Team progressively sought to improve the quality of the manuscripts published, introducing the requirement for all articles to be written in English, and changed the Journal’s name to EuroMediterranean Biomedical Journal in 2012. Over the last five years, approximately 125 articles by young doctors (including original articles, revie…

"Experience the real New Zealand - Maori culture as it is today" : representations of New Zealand and Maoris in Maori tourism websites

2012

Matkailu on maailmanlaajuisesti merkittävä ja kasvava ala. Uudessa-Seelannissa matkailulla on ollut jo pitkään merkittävä vaikutus talouteen ja koko yhteiskuntaan. Maorit ovat Uuden-Seelannin alkuperäiskansa ja vähemmistökulttuuri, sillä heitä on noin 15 prosenttia maan väestöstä. Tähän vähemmistöasemaan liittyen onkin mielenkiintoista tutkia minkälaisia representaatioita he luovat itse omasta kulttuuristaan. Matkailuun liittyy vahvasti mielikuvien luominen, sillä useimmat kulttuureihin liittyvistä matkailutuotteista perustuvat elämysten tarjoamiseen konkreettisten tuotteiden sijaan. Nämä mielikuvat ja representaatiot ovatkin tutkielman keskiössä. Tämän tutkielman tavoitteena on selvittää, …
