Abstract The article aims at exploring the literature on town centre delimitation methods over the last sixty years. Specifically, the first section explores the content of the term town centre, while the second one proposes an organisation of town centre delimitation research in three main periods. The third section comprises the main corpus of the article, as several town centre delimitation methodologies of the last sixty years are presented and discussed. For their presentation, a three tiered analysis is introduced. In the first stage the decisions of researchers regarding centrality estimators are discussed, in the second stage the study focuses on the choices of the spatial units, in which the chosen variables will be studied, and in the third stage the study discusses the methods that are used to characterise each of the studied spatial units as central versus non-central. Based on the analysis, the article concludes that town centre delimitation is an issue which transcends various scientific disciplines and that each of these disciplines comprehends the centre of a town in a unique way. Thus, future methods of town centre delimitation should take into account the choices made in each of the three stages presented above, and should also link the above choices to the objectives and the theoretical context of the study.

There is a mix of therapeutic options for revascularisation in vascular surgery. The authors performed a literature review on the evolution of vascular allograft transplantation and its use and acceptance by vascular surgeons. This review exposed three stages: the first stage involved preliminary experimentation; the second stage was a decline in use due to long-term complications, and the third stage is its current use in special indications subject to a thorough analysis. There are few indications for the use of vascular allografts in clinical guidelines. However, there are publications of long series of case studies with variable results reflecting international use of the procedure. There is a current trend that favours its use with limited and individualised indications.

Critics have argued that Elizabeth Gaskell's first novel, Mary Barton (1848), is split by a conflict between the modes of realism and romance. But the conflict does not render the novel incoherent, because Gaskell surpasses both modes through a utopian narrative that breaks with the conflict of form and gives coherence to the whole novel. Gaskell not only depicts what Thomas Carlyle called the ‘Condition of England’ in her work but also develops, through three stages, the utopia that will redeem this condition. The first stage is romantic nostalgia, a backward glance at Eden from the countryside surrounding Manchester. The second stage occurs in Manchester, as Gaskell mixes romance with a realistic mode, tracing a utopian drive toward death. The third stage is the utopian break with romantic and realistic accounts of the Condition of England and with the inadequate preceding conceptions of utopia. This third stage transforms narrative modes and figures a new mode of production.

The National Agency for the Control of Britain (BNPB) noted that 515 people died from the earthquake in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). Seeing this problem, the author wants to make an animation of earthquake disaster relief procedures that will be used by the BPBD as an additional medium for socializing and delivering information to increase public knowledge about procedures for saving earthquake disasters, especially children. In the process of making this animation using the pipeline method which includes three stages, namely the first stage of pre-production, the second stage of production The third stage of post-production. After doing all the stages are expected to be able to produce animation procedures for earthquake disaster rescue for children. So that this animated video can be used as a media for information dissemination or information delivery by the West Nusa Tenggara Province BPBD office which is more effective for introducing elementary school students. To determine the feasibility of the animation that was made, a beta test was conducted by submitting questionnaires to 30 respondents. The results obtained are animated procedures for rescuing earthquake disasters for children to be used as media for information dissemination or delivery of information by the West Nusa Tenggara Province BPBD office.

Urban planning in Libya in general effectively contributed to preparation of comprehensive and the public plans for all Libyan cities. especially after the issuance of Law No. (5) of 1969, concerning the planning of cities and villages, three key schemes have been developed in three stages starting from the first phase for years 1968 to 1988, and the second stage years from 1988 to 2000, and the third stage years 2000 to 2025. Goal of such schemes is to make a balance between the natural increase of population and urban mass, in order to achieve urban development and environment and preserve of the environment and urban environment from degradation and the spread of degraded areas in Libyan cities. But a number of problems disrupted the planning, and have had effects on the urban development in Libya.

The Katav-Ivanovsk transpression zone experienced at least two stages of tectonic deformations, and the sequence of deformations was approximately the same throughout the entire zone — from the Bakal-Satka fault in the south to the Suleimsky fault in the north. Three stages of the formation of parageneses were identified. The parageneses of the first and the second stages were formed in a pure shear environment, and the paragenesis of the third stage — in a simple shear environment. There are stylolites (S1) parallel to bedding, and mineral veins (V1) in the paragenesis of the first stage. Paragenesis of the second stage combines stylolites (S2), mineral veins (V2) and intergranular cleavage (S2). In paragenesis of the third stage were distinguished schistosity (S3), milonites (S3), cataclasites, mica packets (SC-textures), and the rotation structures of porphyroblasts.

The aim of the study is to develop and substantiate the method of recreational activities of adolescents with I-II degree obesity. We assumed that the technique we developed will contribute to reducing this pathology and, in turn, reducing the occurrence of diseases of the cardiovascular, respiratory, digestive and urinary systems. We presented the results of investigation of influence of the proposed technique on morphofunctional state of adolescents with obesity of I-II degree. The entire range of recreational activities consisted of three stages and was complex. The first stage of the technique included general development, health-corrective exercises, which were performed in alternation with respiratory exercises. In the second stage, cyclical exercises were used, and the third stage of the technique included exercises aimed at reducing the fat component, which led to normalization of body weight. Relaxation exercises were used as restorative. Special attention in the methodology we proposed we gave to the sequence of increasing the load and its control during physical exercises, as well as taking into account the degree of obesity of a teenager. We used anthropometry, caliperometry, and body mass index methods to assess the physical development of obese adolescent children. We noted positive dynamics of the influence of the method of recreational activities of adolescents with I-II degree obesity.

By supplementing the theory of human communication with the concept of the dimensions of the cognitive field, three stages of communication or three stages in the matching of the cognitive “maps” of the communicators can be distinguished. Different realms of prediction concerning response to a communication are possible (or impossible) at each of these stages. A general hypothesis is that similarity of cognitive structure (“collinearity”) at the second stage permits more pronounced influence effects at the third stage. A related hypothesis (among others discussed) is that the relation between anxiety and susceptibility to attitude-change depends on the cognitive dimensionality required by the communication. This hypothesis is defended by showing that it reconciles some apparently contradictory results in studies of anxiety and attitude change.

Many surgical procedures have been devised to manage laryngotracheal stenosis secondary to trauma. Laryngotracheal atresia is the most severe form and the most difficult to repair. The Meyer procedure is a three-stage operation that provides structural support that is covered with mucosa. A laryngotracheal trough is created and a carved trough-shaped cartilage graft is placed above and lateral to it in the first stage. The skin over the graft is replaced by buccal mucosa in the second stage. In the last stage, the cartilage graft with overlying mucosa is swung onto the trough as a composite flap replacing the anterior and lateral laryngeal and tracheal walls. Attempt at reconstruction was made in 8 patients. All but one lesion was secondary to endotracheal intubation. Two patients were unable to be taken to completion of the third stage. Of the remaining 6 patients, all have a functional voice and only 1 remains cannulated at night.

The behaviour patterns of Damalinia ovis (L.), Linognathus stenopsis (Burm.), and Haematopinus eurysternus (Nitz.) were found to be similar and readily divisible into three stages. In the first stage the louse sought the warm end of a temperature gradient. There it entered upon the second stage in which it remained stationary for a variable period with its head pointed towards the warm end. In D. ovis there was marked abdominal movement. The third stage lasted only 3 or 4 min and culminated in the deposition of the egg. In this stage the louse suddenly turned about and attached the egg to the fibre, sometimes backing into the warmer end first. This resulted in eggs being aligned similarly with the end of attachment nearest to the warm end of the temperature gradient. It is suggested that the behaviour patterns of these lice are adapted to common physical characteristics of the environments in which they live, notably the presence of a temperature gradient.

This article is the outcome of research aimed at took two problems. First, what is the procedure for the mediation process in accordance with the Regulation of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2016. Second, how is the implementation of Regulation of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Indonesia Number 1 of 2016, during the Covid 19 pandemic at the Kediri District Religious Court. The method used in this research is juridical empirical. The research steps taken were: First, the researcher visited the Kediri District Religious Court offi ce. To fi nd initial data, and interviewed the data source, then processed and presented according to the theory used. The theory used is the legal system. In essence, there are three components in law, namely substance, structure and culture (society). The research found two things, namely: fi rst, that Mediation based on the regulations of the Supreme Court is carried out in three stages, fi rst is pre-mediation, the second stage is the application of mediation and the third stage is the implementation of mediation. The second fi nding is that the implementation of Perma RI Number: 1 of 2016 concerning mediation during the Covid 19 pandemic at the Kediri District Religious Court deviates from the established legal basis. The judge still gave a verdict or sentenced him, even though the Petitioner did not come at the time of mediation on the grounds of the Covid 19 Pandemic.
