Urophora cardui (Linnaeus) was reported for the first time from Finland in 1981, from the city of Helsinki. During the years 1985-1991 the distribution and dispersal of the species was monitored by searching for galls which the fly larvae cause on stems of the thistle Cirsium arvense. In 1986 galls were observed at a distance of 18-36 km from the center of Helsinki, and by 1991 the distance had increased to 37-55 km along the main roads. Annual dispersal of the fly was found to correlate strongly with the warmth of summers: after a cold summer the area occupied by the fly actually decreased, but in a warm summer new galls were found up to 16 km further from city center than the year before.

ABSTRACTIn 2016, a burial chamber hewn into limestone was discovered at Khirbet Aqabet Al Qadi on the northwestern slope of Mount Ebal, 2km north of the city center of Nablus. The floor of the chamber is 3.15 × 2.9 m and the height averages 1.8 m. A movable closure at the entrance consists of a limestone slab. The burial chamber houses four sarcophagi. The aim of this case study is to give information not only on the burial chamber but also, for the first time in the region, on human remains. Stable isotope analysis of a human bone sample enabled us to obtain dietary information on one individual. Due to low collagen content, the sample did not allow precise dating but it can be placed between 50 BC and 50 AD. Systematic illegal excavation and looting at funerary sites in the Nablus area has caused material for potential information to be missing at the site. Nonetheless, the dietary information obtained supports other material finds indicating Mediterranean agricultural use of the land. Our evidence demonstrates that the site dates to between the 1st and 3rd centuries AD.

It is almost impossible to talk about a monocultural society in the world that exist diversity and differences. Cultural diversity also makes its presence felt in schools, as in every atmosphere. Pre-school institutions, where children leave their home environment and are involved in the educational environment for the first time, are the places in which each child brings the cultural diversity of himself and his family, and in which peer interaction first occurs and develops. For these reasons, it is important to determine the views and practices of pre-school teachers about multiculturalism and its applications. In this study, a phenomenological research model, one of the qualitative research methods, was used by interviewing 23 preschool teachers working in official independent kindergartens in the city center of Diyarbakır. Data were collected through interviews with teachers, and content analysis was used in the analysis of the data. So far as the results of the research; it has been determined that the number of teachers who make arrangements in terms of multiculturalism in their classrooms is quite low, and the teachers who do not make arrangements for this, justify that the children in their classes are from Diyarbakır province or its surroundings, and ignore the cultural diversity of the province they work in. It was designated that all of the participants included the issues of respect for differences in their plans, and due to the pandemic, the diversity of teachers' activities for multiculturalism and respect for differences decreased. It has been determined that teachers focus on different themes and subjects due to the limited education period during the pandemic process. All the teachers participating in the study emphasized that it is more effective to address cultural issues in face-to-face education, however it was determined that they could not associate some of their practices with multiculturalism and respect for differences.

The aim of the study. Theoretical substantiation and practical application of geographical and logistical support of urban tourism in the conditions of overtourism on the example of Lviv and the corresponding "Concept of tourism decentralization ". Research methodology. It is based on geographical and logistical categories in relation to urban tourism in the conditions of overtourism, in particular these are indicators of capacity of tourist destination, its resource potential and potential of hotel-restaurant and transport infrastructure, as well as reflection of regional (geographical) features of tourism processes, in particular tourist decentralization, concentration and dispersion. Results of the research. The theoretical concept presented in the article has been practically tested in the practice of tourism in Lviv, in particular on the example of "Concepts of tourism decentralization ". Proposals for optimization and improvement of geospatial organization of tourism in Lviv included: a) vertical and horizontal diversification of tourist flows in the city center, solving the problem of tourist waste, limiting the cases of intim tourism in favor of conference and blogger tourism, finally strengthening the requirements of tourists safety in particular in the areas of their accommodation, food and entertainment. Some of these proposals have already been taken into account in the tourism management of Lviv, so, in 2019, the post of Deputy Mayor for Security was introduced. Scientific novelty. For the first time in Ukraine the phenomenon of overtourism and its impact on urban tourism with the use of logistic and geographical approaches is considered. For the first time the problems of overtourism in the conditions of cities have been identified and the ways of solving this problem on example of Lviv are considered. Practical importance. Theoretical provisions have been applied to solve practical problems of development of tourism industry of big city in conditions of sharp increase of tourists number, as, for example, in Lviv, and a number of practical measures have been proposed to reduce the negative effects of overtourism, in particular the excessive concentration of tourists in the central part of the city, increasing volume of waste, occurrence of intimate tourism, exacerbation of tourist safety problems, etc. Accordingly, it is proposed to expand the tourist territory of the city due to the vertical and horizontal diversification of tourist flows, a diversified approach to determining business tax depending on its location in the city center or on the periphery ("garbage tax"), the development of conference and blogger tourism, increased attention and control of tourist security problems especially in spheres of food, accommodation, transportation, entertainment and more.

City centers worldwide are perceived as essential parts of the city, where city memories are preserved and its identity is expressed. They are planned to satisfy the functional requirements and pleasurable qualities of the city. Under the accelerating urbanization of the modern city, several challenges face these centers including demographic, economic, and environmental challenges. This requires a continuous and incremental urban development process based on clear strategy and action plans. Thus, this study focuses on urban development strategies of city centers, with a focus on Rafah city located in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian Territories. The geographic location of this city near the Palestinian-Egyptian borders makes it a promising commercial city at local and regional levels. Thus, the current situation of Rafah city center has been analyzed, and several development strategies have been proposed. This has been done through a field survey based on observation and a questionnaire directed to city center users. It has been found that there is a great potential of Rafah city center to be developed as a commercial center. In this regard, several strategies and required actions have been proposed in the fields of transportation, environmental quality, shopping activities, investment opportunities, and visual perception.

On a warm summer afternoon in 1561, Calvin’s chief editor donned a heavy stole, thick robes, and a gleaming tiara and proceeded to strut and fret his hour upon the stage in a comedy of his own devising. For little more than a century, Christians in the West had celebrated on August 6th Christ’s Transfiguration as the son of God in shining robes. But on this Sunday in Geneva, the city council, consistory, and an audience fresh from having attended edifying sermons at morning service gathered to applaud the transfiguration of the learned Conrad Badius into the title role of ...

Commissioned by the English East India Company to write about contemporary nineteenth-century Delhi, Mirza Sangin Beg walked around the city to capture its highly fascinating urban and suburban extravaganza. Laced with epigraphy and fascinating anecdotes, the city as ‘lived experience’ has an overwhelming presence in his work, Sair-ul Manazil. Sair-ul Manazil dominates the historiography of eighteenth- and nineteenth-century compositions on Delhi in Persian and Urdu, and remains unparalleled in its architecture and detailed content. It deals with the habitations of people, bazars, professions and professionals, places of worship and revelry, and issues of contestation. Over fifty typologies of structures and several institutions that find resonance in the Persian and Ottoman Empires can also be gleaned from Sair-ul Manazil. Interestingly, Beg made no attempt to ‘monumentalize’ buildings; instead, he explored them as spaces reflective of the sociocultural milieu of the times. Delhi in Transition is the first comprehensive English translation of Beg’s work, which was originally published in Persian. It is the only translation to compare the four known versions of Sair-ul Manazil, including the original manuscript located in Berlin, which is being consulted for the first time. It has an exhaustive introduction and extensive notes, along with the use of varied styles in the book to indicate the multiple sources of the text, contextualize Beg’s work for the reader and engage him with the debate concerning the different variants of this unique and eclectic work.
