2001

Due to the increased used paper collection rates in Western Europe, more recycled fibre will be used in the manufacture of paper. This will affect both the environmental and economic performance of the pulp and paper industry. The potential for the increase of the collection rate varies significantly in different countries in western Europe. In some countries the collection rate is already close to 70% (Austria, Germany) and in others it is around 45% (Italy, United Kingdom). With the increased demand for recycled fibre also the collection will increase. When the collection of waste paper is increased something has to be done with the collected paper. Different utilisation modes results in …

Shifting notions of gendered care and neoliberal motherhood: From the lives of Latvian migrant women in Guernsey

2014

Synopsis In this article I analyse how socioeconomic constraints structure the geographical mobility of Latvian migrant women working on the island of Guernsey. A shifting notion of gendered care is revealed through a time-geographic investigation of distant emplacements of workplace and home, and through the neoliberal-informed evaluations by the mothers themselves. Their justifications emphasise the belief that care from a distance should be prioritised over physical proximity to those in need of care. With examples from interviews with mothers who have provided care during their movements between Latvia and Guernsey, I demonstrate how the outcomes of shifting notions of gendered care are…

Fuel Load and Potential Flight Ranges of Passerine Birds Migrating through the Western Edge of the Pyrenees

2011

Abstract. The estimation of fuel load and the potential flight ranges of migrant birds are crucial to understanding the ecological and evolutionary significance of bird migration strategies. The movement of migrant birds between Iberia and the rest of Western Europe is thought to be shaped by the Pyrenees and nearby seas. Because of this area's unique geography, the routes of migrants that move to (autumn migration) or from (spring migration) Iberia tend to pass through the western and eastern edges of the Pyrenees. Fuel-load analyses and the assessment of potential flight ranges from these edges can provide insights about the extent of Iberia's use as a consistent stopover and fuelling are…

Leptechioceras (Neomicroceras) Donovan, 1966 (Ammonitina, Echioceratidae, Sinémurien, Europe du Nord-Ouest): Taxon progénétique ou microconque?

1992

Resume Des faunes d'ammonites inedites collectees banc par banc dans des series epaisses a dominante argileuse duSinemurien terminal du Bassin parisien (Cher, France) sont decrites. Certains des peuplements etudies sont esentiellement constitues d'ammonites de petite taille attribuees au sous-genre Leptechioceras (Neomicroceras) ; le rattachement de ces formes aux Echioceratidae, alors qu'elles etaient initialement interpretees comme des Eoderoceratidae, est base sur des arguments cladistiques et est confirme par les observations stratigraphiques. Une nouvelle espece, la plus tardive du sous-genre, Leptechioceras (Neomicroceras) sparsicosta est decrite. L'originalite en termes d'heterochron…

Les ammonites traditionnellement regroupées dans la sous-famille des Bouleiceratinae (Hildoceratidae, Toarcien) : aspects phylogénétiques, biogéograp…

2003

Resume Les genres d’ammonites, traditionnellement regroupes dans la sous-famille des Bouleiceratinae, appartiennent en fait a des lignees differentes de la famille des Hildoceratidae. Une approche utilisant des arguments paleogeographiques, stratigraphiques et morphologiques d’une part et une approche cladistique d’autre part ont permis de distinguer 3 groupes se succedant au cours du temps et a repartitions paleogeographiques differentes : • les Bouleiceratinae s.s. (genres Bouleiceras, Nejdia et Kohaticeras) du Toarcien inferieur ; • les Leukadiellinae (genres Leukadiella et Renziceras) du Toarcien moyen ; • et les Paroniceratinae (genres Frechiella, Paroniceras et Oxyparoniceras) du Toar…

Winter “weekend effect” in southern Europe and its connections with periodicities in atmospheric dynamics

2008

[1] Winter weekly cycles of different climatic variables have been detected over Spain during the 1961–2004 period. The 13 analyzed series come from stations placed on different climatological and geographical areas with different level of urban influence. Therefore, the weekly cycles can hardly be related with local effects. Contrarily, we suggest that the weekly cycles may be related with changes in the atmospheric circulation over Western Europe, which may be due to some indirect effect of anthropogenic aerosols. Particularly interesting is the observed increase in Sea Level Pressure over Southern Europe during the weekends and consequently a decrease of anticyclonic conditions during th…

Sur la structure, l'âge et l'origine des « brèches de Bosmendiette » (Pyrénées-Atlantiques)

2004

Resume Anterieurement attribuees a l'Albo-Aptien et considerees comme resultant du diapirisme des evaporites triasiques, les breches de Bosmendiette se seraient, pour certains auteurs recents, mises en place au Selandien (Paleocene), dans des canyons sous-marins etablis au sein d'un profond sillon, le long de la chaine des Pyrenees, du Roussillon jusqu'a l'Atlantique. Leur âge serait fonde sur la decouverte d'une riche microfaune pelagique de globigerinides. Nos recherches montrent qu'azoiques a leur base, pourvues de radiolaires et de rares foraminiferes benthiques au sommet, ces breches resultent en realite de la destruction de boucles de slumps affectant l'« Infralias ». Recouvertes en o…

The globalisation divide in the public mind: belief systems on globalisation and their electoral consequences

2019

Many studies describe how globalisation—the global integration of the economic, political, and cultural domains of society—transforms party competition in Western Europe. At the citizen level, however, our knowledge about globalisation attitudes and their electoral consequences remains limited. Using data from a large-scale panel survey of the German public, we show that, first, citizens hold stable rather than fluid attitudes towards the concept of globalisation. Second, these attitudes are rather closely related to positions on specific economic, cultural, and political issues that social scientists understand as facets of globalisation but unrelated to positions on traditional redistribu…
