The present article is an example of research on the tourism, scientific, and teaching potential of the ultrabasic-alkaline intrusion with perovskite minerals in Afrikanda (Kola Peninsula, North Russia) and the possibility of its development as part of a local geopark site. A proposal to create a protected zone in this site, to expose sites of geological, natural, historical, and tourist interest is presented. Didactic routes and locations of geo-point visitors are proposed. Currently, there are numerous quarries and other mining objects of high historical, technical, and geological value. In the vicinity, there is a trough lake and post-glacial formations that can supplement knowledge about this region and add interest to would-be visitors. The remains of a historical camp for workers and miners are also visible in the intrusion area. In the vicinity of Afrikanda village, there is an international railroad line to Murmansk and St. Petersburg with a working railroad station. The place has high historical and geological potential for tourists and very rare and interesting mineralization. The last is a key value. The location is associated with 30 alkaline intrusions in NE Fennoskandia. There are opportunities to create a museum with a park where, with relatively little funding (most of the existing infrastructure buildings are in good condition), the intrusions can be shown to tourists. We proposed a conservation area with exposures, quarries, mine infrastructure, and historical sites, along with the location of geosites, hiking trails, and a geo-point for visitors. These sites are prospective for the economic revival of Afrikanda village and can protect the unique exposures.

The present article gives an overview of the borrowed vocabulary of the Rus- sian dialect of the Kola peninsula, which mostly comes from Finno-Ugric languages. Some remarks are made as to the phonetical and morphological adaptations to Russian, the etymology and the distribution of the loanwords over the different semantic fields. Not surprisingly, the terminology on rein- deer husbandry is dominated by loans from Sámi languages. Some names for fishes are also Sámi, but fishing terminology is almost exclusively borrowed from Baltic-Finnic. Other source languages include Samoyedic (clothing), Norwegian and Dutch (ship types).

The rehabilitation of heritage sites, as well as the implementation of monitoring and control strategies is fundamental for its conservation. In the case of Cuenca, a World Heritage City, a maintenance campaign in the traditional neighborhood of San Roque was carried out in 2014. The objective was to undertake maintenance actions on roofs and façades as well as on elements at risk. The campaign process was developed keeping in mind the cycle or phases of preventive conservation: anamnesis, diagnosis, therapy and control (ICOMOS, 2003). At the end of the maintenance campaign an impact assessment was undertaken and monitoring tools were handed out to the community in order to strengthen the citizen participation in the preservation of built heritage. The experience of the maintenance campaign unveiled a series of lessons that have been evaluated in the present investigation, being the main objective the strengthening of the processes of governance and documentation through the formulation of strategies inherent to the maintenance of heritage buildings. In this process it is shown that the participation of citizens is a strategic factor for the sustainable development of maintenance campaigns, which allow for the preservation of historical sites for future generations.

Abstract. The digital documentation of heritage places produces accurate 3D restitution of their geometry in a virtual environment and can be related to multiple semantic layers to archive, represent, preserve and transmit the knowledge gathered along their lifecycle. The combination of high-density point clouds with other sources of information advises virtual reconstitutions of historical states of a place’s physical realm. The cultural significance of the built heritage lies in the values associated with its tangible and intangible dimensions. Apart from aspects of values related to historical sites’ physical attributes, 3D models can support the representation of intangible elements influencing visitors’ perception of their Genius Loci and supporting new interpretations about their cultural significance. In this framework, 3D animation, rendering, and simulation technologies allow recreating aspects of a place’s atmosphere, like the simulation of lighting conditions and the user’s immersive experience of a heritage site into a virtual environment. This paper focuses on the light perception recreated in a funeral chapel of the Theban Tomb environment by considering the strong spiritual dimension in the conception of funeral sites in ancient Egypt during the New Kingdom period (1550–1069 BC). We investigate the potential of 3D simulation and animation technologies to represent hypotheses about original lighting conditions in such sites. The proposed research is based on the case study of Sennefer’s tomb chapel, also referred to as TT96A, located on the western bank of the Nile, opposite modern Luxor.

ABSTRAKKajian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisa struktur komunitas dan keberlanjutan pengelolaan ekosistem mangrove di Pulau Nain Kecamatan Wori, Kabupaten Minahasa Utara, Provinsi Sulawesi Utara. Pulau Nain adalah salah satu pulau yang masuk dalam kawasan konservasi Taman Nasional Bunaken dan memiliki kawasan budidaya rumput laut yang masih produktif. Penelitian ini menggunakan data sekunder dan primer. Data yang dibutuhkan dalam kajian ini meliputi data dimensi ekologi, sosial ekonomi, dan kelembagaan. Analisis yang digunakan dalam kajian ini adalah RAPMECS (Rapid Appraisal for Mangroves Ecosystem) dengan analisis multy dimensional scaling (MDS). Hasil yang diperoleh dari kajian ini adalah luasan mangrove Pulau Nain sebesar 4.40 ha, memiliki dua jenis mangrove yaitu Rhizophora apiculata dan Avicennia marinna masing-masing dari family Avicenniaceae dan  Rhizophoraceae. Indeks nilai penting (INP) jenis tertinggi terlihat pada jenis Rhizophora apiculata (79.64%) sedangkan jenis Avicennia marinna (79.64%). Ekosistem mangrove Pulau Nain dalam kondisi yang baik, tapi secara kuantitas belum optimal sebagai buffer sistem lingkungan pesisir. Status keberlanjutan pengelolaan ekosistem mangrove Pulau Nain menunjukkan angka 46,89 yang berarti status keberlanjutan pengelolaan ekosistem mangrove pulau ini berada dalam kondisi cukup baik. Keterisolasian pulau, luasan mangrove yang kecil, luas pulau yang kecil dan rendahnya kualitas sumberdaya manusia membuat pulau ini memiliki nilai yang kurang baik untuk keberlanjutan pengelolaan ekosistem mangrove Pulau Nain. Pemantauan secara berkala dan strategi pengelolaan yang baik dapat meningkatkan indeks keberlanjutan pengelolaan ekosistem mangrove serta meningkatkan kapasitas lingkungan pesisir Pulau Nain.ABSTRACTThe aims of this study are to analyze the community structure and sustainability of mangrove ecosystem management in Nain Island, Wori District, North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Province. Nain Island is one of the islands rlocated in Bunaken National Park conservation area and   has productive seaweed cultivation area. This study used secondary and primary data. Data required in this study are included dimension data of ecological, socio-economic, and institutional. The analysis that used in this study was RAPMECS (Rapid Appraisal for Mangroves Ecosystem) through multy dimensional scaling (MDS) analysis. The results obtained from this study are mangroves area in Nain Island was 4.40 ha, has two types of mangroves Rhizophora apiculata and Avicennia marinna respectively belong to family Avicenniaceae and Rhizophoraceae. The highest species importance value index (INP) wasfound in Rhizophora apiculata (79.64%) while Avicennia marinna (79.64%). Mangrove ecosystem in Nain Island are in good condition, but in quantity not yet optimal as buffer for coastal environment system. The sustainability status of mangrove ecosystem management of Nain Island shows 46.89 which means that the sustainability status of mangrove ecosystem management of this island is in fair condition. Isolation of island small mangrove areas, small islands and low quality of human resources make this island has a poor value for the sustainability of mangrove ecosystem management. Regular monitoring and good management strategies can improve the sustainability index of mangrove ecosystem management and increase the capacity of the coastal environment of Nain Island.Sitasi: Schaduw J.N.W.

The present article presents a brief analysis of the evolution of the Craiova built fund, focusing on understanding the main poles of attraction and development. The analysis focused on highlighting the functional, economic and social relations between the various elements. Thus, a frame of the evolution of the city was obtained based on the available resources: written sources, configuration plans and in-site observations. Also, the study proposes categories of built heritage protection according to the intrinsic value of the elements, but also to the morpho-genetic relationships that they represent for the local identity.

AbstractDogs are often commensal with human settlements. In areas where settlements are adjacent to wildlife habitat, the management of dogs can affect risk of spillover of disease to wildlife. We assess dog husbandry practices, and measure the prevalence of Canine Distemper Virus (CDV) in dogs, in 10 villages in Nepal’s Annapurna Conservation Area (ACA), an important region for Himalayan wildlife. A high proportion (58%) of owned dogs were allowed by their owners to roam freely, and many village dogs originated from urban areas outside the region. CDV antibodies, indicating past exposure, were detected in 70% of dogs, and 13% were positive for P-gene, suggesting current circulation of CDV. This is the first detection of canine distemper virus in a National Park in Nepal Himalaya. Dogs were generally in good condition, and none exhibited clinical signs of CDV infection, which suggests that infections were asymptomatic. CDV exposure varied with village location and age of dogs, but this variation was minor, consistent with high rates of movement of dogs across the region maintaining high seroprevalence. Residents reported the occurrence of several species of wild carnivores in or close to villages. These results suggest a high potential for transmission of CDV from village dogs to wild carnivores in ACA. We suggest that control of dog immigration, along with vaccination and neutering of dogs could mitigate the risk of CDV spillover into wild carnivore populations.

Tugtupite, Na8Al2Be2Si8O24(Cl,S) 2, is colourless to red, tetragonal, pseudocubic and forms triplet twins on {101}. c: a = 1.0269 ± 0.0003, d = 2.33 g/cm3, nε = 1.499 ± 0.001, nα = 1.495 ± 0.001. a0 = 8.637-8.643, c0 = 8.867 - 8.870, V0 = 662 Å3. The description of the crystal structure is taken from Danø (1966). The mineral occurs in hydrothermal veins in the Ilímaussaq alkaline intrusion, South Greenland, and in the Lovozero alkaline intrusion, Kola Peninsula (beryllosodalite). A number of occurrences of tugtupite in Ilimaussaq are described. Tugtupite is most commonly associated with albite, analcime and Li-mica and is generally secondary after chkalovite. The paragenesis and origin of the mineral and a number of associated beryllium silicates are discussed.

The present article is based on photographs of nineteenth-century Arabic official letters, made by the author while carrying out conservation work on manuscript material for the Nigerian Department of Antiquities at the Northern Nigerian centres of Sokoto and Bauchi. Thanks to conscientious local custody, and the moisture-free atmosphere which these districts enjoy for most of the year, the greater number of these papers were still in remarkably good condition. At the same; time, progressive embrittlement of the fibres was making direct handling of the sheets undesirable, and some protection was felt necessary, The custodians of these collections had therefore been in touch with the Department of Antiquities, and it was decided as a first step to mount the most delicate and valuable specimens between sheets of glass, to be sealed at the edges with passe-partout and enclosed in light wooden frames.2 Since photo-graphy was likely to be more difficult after the completion of this work, the documents selected for treatment were first recorded upon 35 mm. film.

The need of Small Island Park (SIP) management at Kei Kecil Islands and improvement of fisheries management, stems from the question of whether conservation can improve fisheries management. Doubts of the benefits of conservation areas in addressing fisheries management issues, as well as poor planning, monitoring and evaluation, have the potential to create disincentives and low expectations of management. This study aims are to assess the effectiveness of SIP management, fisheries management status, and formulate an integrated model of improved management of conservation areas and fisheries. The effectiveness of conservation area management was in the red rank. For two years, these developments were relatively slow. The status of fisheries management in the medium category. The Kobe Plot analysis recommended to management by maintaining the existing strategy. Scenario to improve management through the determination of 80% of indicators are in good condition, the opportunity to achieve well management within 3 - 4 years. Based on integration model, multi-level assessment of effectiveness had a weakness in answering its relationship with fisheries management. The strength of the integration model in the grouping of management objectives according to sustainable management system, including: ecological protection, social strengthening and dynamic and accommodative governance system.
