In this chapter we focus on how local vulnerability, expressed in land degradation, is related to international and global processes. We begin with a synopsis of vulnerability in the context of land degradation and desertification. The nature of international regimes that may affect vulnerable socioeconomic groups is presented. Analogues of local–global linkages in vulnerability are summarized,...
متن کاملReconstructing the Geocentric System of Proto Oceanic
S Su um mm ma ar ry y The comparison of sixteen Austronesian languages, regarding the absolute coordinates they use in space reference, makes it possible to propose a historical hypothesis regarding the geocentric system of Proto Oceanic: on land, one up-down axis defined by the declivity of the ground; at sea, a second up-down axis motivated by the prevailing trade winds. After reconstructing ...

متن کاملInvestigations into a Dynamic Geocentric Datum
A “dynamic” geodetic datum is a datum that consists of coordinates and velocities of control points, which can provide users with the realistic positions of sites within the network that reflects the result of local or regional motion induced by a number of causes. A new ITRF-linked scheme is proposed and discussed in order to process available geodetic data in real-time to establish a dynamic ...
متن کاملVisual navigation in insects: coupling of egocentric and geocentric information
Social hymenopterans such as bees and ants are central-place foragers; they regularly depart from and return to fixed positions in their environment. In returning to the starting point of their foraging excursion or to any other point, they could resort to two fundamentally different ways of navigation by using either egocentric or geocentric systems of reference. In the first case, they would ...
