State Area

With the field of political geography defined on the lines indicated in the preceding instalment of this article, its content may be outlined in terms of the study of a single state area. Naturally, such studies of different states may lead to the comparative study of state areas, just as regional studies may lead to a comparative science of regions. The outline which follows represents perhaps a minimum, including only those topics which I think are unquestionably to be included.I.Descriptive analysis of the stateA.Description or analysis of the state as a whole1.Size2.Form and shape3.Location in relation to other state areas4.BoundariesB.Analysis of the internal structure of the area1.Natural landscape areas, or provinces2.Cultural landscape areas, or provinces3.Areal distribution of significant population groups4.Location of the administrative center (capital)5.Geographic relations of the different areas thus analyzed, to each other and to the capital

Emergent Culture

This article examines the ways in which Zionist intellectuals interacted with Arabo-Islamic culture in the Yishuv by looking into the cultivation of Islamicate knowledge pertinent to land and nature and its impact on the construction of the Jewish cultural landscape. I argue that in establishing a connection between Jews and the natural landscape of Palestine/ Israel, Jewish intellectuals relied on Arabo Islamic culture and its centuries of knowledge about the flora and the land itself. In their search to comprehend the flora and place names of the land of the Bible, Jewish individuals consulted Arabo-Islamic sources, finding them instrumental to their national enterprise. The culmination of these endeavors is that, in addition to Jewish and Western sources, Islamicate culture was one of the wellsprings from which Jewish intellectuals drew in shaping the emergent culture in the Yishuv and the early decades of the State of Israel.

This paper will discuss the final comprehensive design restoring and resuscitating the cultural of landscape of Kampung “Pulau Ketam’. The village faces annual flood events leading to degradation of existing significant properties as well as developments that demolish the genus loci of the site as a cultural fisherman village. As to encounter these issues, the aims of this article to restore and resuscitate the cultural landscape of Kampung “Pulau Ketam” with enhance the traditional fisherman Malay village livelihood by using eco-efficient and ecological treatment. The projects covering an area of 821 km2, Perlis is the smallest state in Malaysia. It is located at the northern part of the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia (6030’N and 100o15’E). In 2010, the total population was recorded at 245,636 persons with a density of 276.5/km2. The state economy is dominated by agriculture accounting for 80.5% of land use in the state with the dominant crops being rice, sugar, herbs, rubber and fruits. Forestry and fishery are also important economic sectors. The capital city of Perlis is Kangar which all case studies are in this district. The research highlighted the significant of the site study divided into three phases of sustainable interventions; 1) conservation of natural landscape 2) ecological conservation and preservation 3) resilience through protection of natural landscape, adaptive design on flooding, cultural landscape design interpretation and multiple land uses in fisherman village design program as to sustain the cultural landscape by integrating it with sustainable practice.

Physical Presence

When a criminal case with trans-border ramifications is to be prosecuted within a given state, the following three problems typically arise: — bringing the defendant, currently abroad, to that state, to enable the case against him to be tried; — obtaining relevant evidence from other jurisdictions; — persuading the courts of the state where the defendant is to be tried that they can use it. The first of these problems is in principle the most important. Unless a legal system is prepared (as some were in the past) to try defendants in absentia and then punish them in effigy, the defendant’s physical presence within the jurisdiction of the court is usually required in order to bring the mechanism of the criminal law to bear upon him.

Atmospheric Seeing

The subject of this symposium is the fine structure of the solar chromosphere. Progress in this field of reserach will depend to a high degree of the quality of seeing, resp. on the effective angular resolution available on the ground. Today's situation of solar ground seeing has changed distinctly in the last years. I would like to report here a few new aspects, which could be condensed into 3 questions: (1)Are there on the ground ‘good seeing windows’, comparable in quality with stratosphere results obtained from balloon borne equipment?(2)Is there a chance to resolve from the ground the solar scale height, corresponding to about 0.1″.(3)Is there a residual fundamental atmospheric seeing noise resp. a basic limit to the atmospheric Modulation Transfer Function (MTF)?

The Purpose of Army light aircraft, fixed-wing and helicopter, is to help ground units to carry out their normal tactical task more effectively. Therefore the main roles are: Reconnaissance.Fire support.Exercise of command.Tactical movement.Logistic support.For special-to-arm tasks, light helicopters are integrated into certain major units of the Royal Armoured Corps, Royal Artillery, Royal Engineers, Royal Signals and Infantry. The aircraft must be capable of living in the field and be easy to maintain. Aircraft strengths in these units vary from six in an air squadron of the Royal Armoured Corps, to three in an air platoon in an infantry battalion.
