L'Afrique du Nord est un socle de données partagées, aussi bien naturelles qu'humaines. Les géographes ne me démentiront pas qui décrivent le double plissement atlasique comme la charpente qui porte cette sorte de sous-continent (de péninsule ?) vers le nord, l'extrayant du puissant contexte saharien pour l'accrocher au domaine méditerranéen. Cela concerne les pays de la façade méditerranéenne et inclut donc, à l'est, la Libye, où vient mourir l'Atlas méridional avec les modestes reliefs du Jabal Nafûsa et du Jabal Al-Akhdar, entre mer et désert. Non plus que les historiens. Un même fond de populations, Imazighen ou Arabes, dont les mêmes branches se retrouvent partout, d'est en ouest. Il n'est pas jusqu'à un commandement unique qui ne les aient jadis réunis. Une société marquée par quatre milieux, à la fois naturels et humains, qui la fondent : la ville, la montagne, la steppe-et-le-désert, l'oasis. Milieux qui ont modelé quatre types d'hommes-bâtisseurs, à des degrés et selon des équilibres variés, du Maghreb. Mohamed Naciri, géographe, ne manque pas d'intégrer la longue durée dans ses analyses : « (…) Mais c'est tout récemment qu'on a pris conscience, d'une manière aiguë, de l'importance de la dimension montagnarde du Maroc, au même titre que ses trois autres dimensions : méditerranéenne, saharienne et atlantique (…) qui caractérisent la structure de l'espace marocain » 1. Un ensemble où la diversité n'est pas absente, avec des particularités régionales nombreuses à l'intérieur des frontières mais qui ont souvent aussi leurs homologues de part et d'autre de ces frontières. Ce sont ces homologies que j'ai été amené à reconnaître dans trois des pays du Maghreb.

The Edo period in Japan (1615-1868) saw the flowering of many forms of cultural expression, colorful and boisterous, muted and restrained, that today is thought of as typically Japanese. These include kabuki and no drama, the tea ceremony, martial arts, woodblock prints, and porcelain. This culturally diverse and vibrant period gets its name from the city of Edo, now known as TOkyo. This teaching guide to the art of "Edo" first presents a historical overview of the period. The guide is then divided into 11 'sections: (1) .7Edo Style"; (2) "Samurai"; (3) "Work"; (4) "Religion"; (5) "Travel"; (6) "Entertainment"; (7) "Glossary"; (8) "Chronology"; (9) "Activities "; (10) "Further Reading"; and (11) "Slide List." It includes many color illustrations. Activities are designed for beginner, intermediate, or advanced learners; curriculum connections are suggested for art, language arts, mathematics, or social studies.

Continuamos ampliando y enriqueciendo esta sección dedicada a las nuevas tecnologias dirigida tanto a los filólogos y estudiosos del mundo clásico, preferentemente el griego, como a los alumnos y cualquier lector interesado en ambos campos (el mundo griego e internet).

O volume que agora se apresenta teve como principal motivação a divulgação de alguns estudos de museus já apresentados durante o I Seminário de Investigação em Museologia para os Países de Língua Portuguesa e Espanhola (Porto 2010), em formato de Poster, e que merecem, no nosso entender, uma melhor divulgação. A maior parte destes estudos foram realizados no âmbito das dissertações do Curso de Mestrado em Museologia da Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto, entre 2008 e 2009. Incluem-se, ainda, neste volume, alguns artigos que partem de dissertações de mestrado ou de doutoramento apresentadas noutras universidades e que apoiam esta construção de um campo profundamente inter-disciplinar. Os diferentes textos mostram bem a diversidade dos tópicos de investigação em museologia e, no seu conjunto, materializam diversas visões e orientações da museologia contemporânea, gizando não só um território de profissionais-em-acção mas promovendo, igualmente, espaços reflexivos e de discussão crítica. A importância da documentação e gestão das colecções na qualidade e certificação dos Museus. Alexandre Matos Resumo A normalização documental nos sistemas de informação dos museus tem sido, nos últimos sete anos, a nossa principal área de actividade profissional e de investigação. Verificamos que dada a inexistência de uma normalização de estrutura dos sistemas de informação de museus, em Portugal são inúmeros os casos de criação de bases de dados específicas que se tornam, em pouco tempo obsoletas. O objectivo da presente dissertação é apresentar uma proposta de norma de estrutura de dados que sirva os museus, independentemente do tipo de colecções, as empresas de software e o Instituto de Museus e Conservação na verificação da qualidade do inventário e gestão das colecções, no âmbito da certificação de museus em curso. Standards in museum documentation and Collection Management Systems (CMS) have been in the last seven years our main area of investigation and expertise. Portugal has no tradition developing data structure standards to document objects or collections, so our principal aim in this paper, as well as in our thesis, is to propose some fundamental aspects that museums and documentation specialists should be aware when choosing our creating a CMS. Another objective of the current research is to generate an important and urgent discussion on the inclusion of documentation as a relevant part of the museums accreditation scheme carried out by Instituto de Museus e Conservação (IMC).

Sustainability, 2023

Anthropogenic activities have a significant influence on land use and land cover (LULC) changes, especially in rapidly growing areas. Among several models, the combination of a cellular automata-artificial neural network (CA-ANN) model is being widely used for assessing future LULC changes using satellite images. This study aimed to investigate LULC changes in Gazipur City Corporation (GCC), Bangladesh, and the changes in LULC patterns over the last two decades (2002 to 2022). In this study, the maximum likelihood supervised classification technique was used for processing the available satellite images. The results show that the urban area and vegetation coverage increased by 150% and 22.78%, whereas the bare land and waterbody decreased by 7.02% and 78.9%, respectively, from 2002 to 2022 inside the GCC area. For future LULC predictions, the CA-ANN model was developed, the accuracy percentage of which was 86.49%, and the kappa value was 0.83. The future LULC prediction model results show that the urban area will increase by 47.61%, whereas the bare land and waterbody are supposed to decrease by 24.17% and 67.23%, respectively, by 2042. The findings of this study could be useful for future sustainable urban planning and management, as well as enabling decision making by authorities for improvements in environmental and ecological conditions in the study area.

The objective of the system of higher education at teacher education institutions is to prepare students, future early childhood and preschool education teachers, for all segments of their profession, and indicate the importance of art in the early childhood and preschool period. The goal of this paper is to examine students' views and assessment of their own experience in the artistic areas (visual art and music) regarding previous education, and the way students assess their satisfaction with their own personal growth in acquiring knowledge and skills in the visual art and music area in their final year of early childhood and preschool education studies. The study was conducted on the sample of 144 students of the Faculty of Teacher Education in Zagreb, including local branches in Petrinja and Čakovec. The participating students were in their first (N=71), and third year (N=73) of study. The results of the research indicated that, regarding their previous education, students assesed their competence in visual art and music areas as good. Using the t-test, it was established that knowledge of the artistic area depends on the type of secondary education they have received. The results of Mann Whitney U-test showed no significant difference between the first and the third year students in their perception of the personality area under the influence of art. Using the Spearman correlation coefficient, correlation was established between the presence of individual functions within visual art and music areas and students' self-assessments of their own progress in acquiring knowledge and skills in the same areas. Students indicated the need for more practical tasks in some activities in visual art and music areas.
