URBANIZATION PROCESSES AND ITS SPECIFICS IN LATGALE
2010
<p>Urbanization is an important demo-geographical process and a complex social phenomenon under impact of which changes are made not only to the global, regional or national settlement systems, but all socio-economic processes are also substantially transformed. Changes caused by urbanization have an impact on traditional way of life, cultural particularity, community and individual psychology and other aspects of spiritual life, therefore expressions and regularities of this process might be of interest not only for demographers, geographers and economists, but also for representatives of the field of humanities.</p><p>Paper presents the progress of urbanization processes…
Enforcing WTO Law
2017
This contribution analyses the difference between the enforcement system provided for by the European Union legal system and the one set up by the World Trade Organisation. The reciprocal and bilateral nature of the WTO obligations and the possibility for the parties to a dispute to have recourse to negotiation (in ways not always foreseen and regulated by the Dispute Settlement Understanding) in order to resolve the issue of implementation in the post-adjudication phase of the dispute settlement procedure are features that by-and-large differentiate the WTO legal system from that of the EU and also explains the differences between the remedies provided for by the two systems.
Approche d'un territoire de montagne : occupations humaines et contexte pédo-sédimentaire des versants du col du Petit-Saint-Bernard, de la Préhistoi…
2014
As part of a multi-year programme, survey campaigns have been carried out on both slopes of the Petit-Saint-Bernard pass (2188 m, western Alps), at an altitude of between 750 and 3000 m. The method employed abandons ground-based surveying in favour of multiple manual surveys carried out on selected topographic contexts down to the base of the Holocene fill. The results obtained document the longterm development of the pedo-sedimentary dynamic and the occupation of the different altitude stages. The significance of the archaeological data collected is discussed in relation to the state of knowledge in a comparison area including the neighbouring valleys of the western Alps, to existing settl…
The Context of Rural–Urban Relationships in Finland, France, Hungary, The Netherlands and Spain
2009
This paper presents a comprehensive view of the empirical research findings concerning rurban relationships in different European countries (Finland, France, Hungary, the Netherlands and Spain), through two types of rurban territories: those that are placed close to (or included in) a metropolitan area and those that are close to (and influenced by) an important tourist area or place. Its main aim is to show the diversity of European experiences with regard to urban pressure in this type of areas, highlighting the socio-economic and institutional contexts in explaining similarities and differences between five countries. The results will review the various meanings of ‘rural’ and ‘rurality’…
Impact of Holocene climate variability on lacustrine records and human settlements in South Greenland
2015
Due to its sensitivity to climate changes, south Greenland is a particularly suitable area to study past global climate changes and their influence on locale Human settlements. A paleohydrological investigation was therefore carried out on two river-fed lakes: Lake Qallimiut and Little Kangerluluup, both located close to the Labrador Sea in the historic farming center of Greenland. Two sediment cores (QAL-2011 and LKG-2011), spanning the last four millennia, were retrieved and showed similar thin laminae, described by high magnetic susceptibility and density, high titanium and TOC / TN atomic ratio, and coarse grain size. They are also characterized either by inverse grading followed by nor…
The Madonie: Highlands in Sicily
2019
This chapter presents the results of the archaeological survey of selected areas across the Madonie mountain range in Sicily, at different heights. Several archaeological features have been mapped, documenting the human presence on these highlands over different millennia and dating it back at least to the Middle Neolithic. Traces of ancient cultures of Sicily have been recognized in the area, emphasizing the importance of this mountainous territory.
Modeling initial Neolithic dispersal. The first agricultural groups in West Mediterranean
2015
Abstract In previous research, the SE-NW time-trend in the age of the earliest Neolithic sites across Europe has been treated as a signal of a global-scale process that brought farming/herding economies to the continent. Residual variation from this global time-trend is generally treated as ‘noise’. A Complex Adaptive Systems perspective views this empirical record differently. The apparent time-trend is treated as an emergent consequence of the interactions of individuals and groups of different scale. Here, we examine the dynamics of agricultural dispersals, using the rich body evidence available from the Iberian Peninsula as a case study. We integrate two complementary approaches: (1) cr…
Ieguldītāju un valsts strīdu izšķiršana no Eiropas Savienības tiesību perspektīvas
2016
Maģistra darbā pētīts ieguldītāju un valsts strīdu izšķiršanas mehānisms no Eiropas Savienības tiesību perspektīvas, koncentrējoties uz starp dalībvalstīm noslēgtiem divpusējiem ieguldījumu aizsardzības līgumiem. Darba mērķis ir atbildēt uz jautājumu, vai šobrīd pastāvošais strīdu izšķiršanas mehānisms nepārkāpj ES tiesības, kā arī, kādi būtu risinājumi iespējamām nesaderībām. Darba uzdevumi bija cita starpā izvērtēt EST judikatūru un doktrīnu galvenokārt par LESD 344., 267. un 351. pantiem, secinot to tvērumu attiecībā uz divpusējiem ieguldījumu aizsardzības līgumiem, kā arī rast risinājumu iespējamai nesaderībai ar ES tiesību prasībām. Vietā šķiet Viljama Šekspīra mūžīgais jautājums, kas …
Les puits de l’oppidum de l’Ermitage (Agen, Lot-et-Garonne).
2007
Within the context of a “projet collectif de recherche”, the publication of works directed by Richard Boudet on the hillfort of the Ermitage in Agen, two wells have been studied. The analysis of structures and artefacts (pottery, metal, wood) suggests that they were probably used to draw water and not devoted to chthonian rituals. Comparisons with other wells un South West of Gaul suggest that in most cases, they may have been used in the same way, even though, in very few cases rituals relating to the domestic field cannot be excluded.
Le dépôt de Quitteur (Haute-Saône) et les dépôts de bronzes en contexte d’habitat au Bronze final
2020
Le petit dépôt de bronzes découvert à Quitteur (commune de Beaujeu-Saint-Vallier-Pierrejux et Quitteur ; Haute-Saône - France), sur une moyenne terrasse de la Saône, est composé de trente-deux objets comprenant un assortiment d’éléments de parures (boutons à bélière, pendeloque, anneaux) associés à un couteau à manche massif et une armature de flèche. Le lieu de découverte du dépôt, dans l’espace occupé par les vestiges d’un habitat contemporain du RSFO, s’écarte de la majorité des dépôts de bronzes isolés comme l’archéologie les perçoit habituellement. À l’aide de quelques comparaisons géographiquement proches, il est alors permis de nous interroger sur le caractère apparemment inhabituel …
