Cities are the engines of our economy and hubs of innovation, but they're also facing a growing challenge: urban mobility. As populations swell and traffic snarls, traditional transportation systems are straining under the pressure. But on the horizon, a revolution is brewing, driven by new technologies and a fresh perspective on how people and goods move around.Trends Reshaping the Urban Landscape:· Electrification: Gone are the days of exhaust fumes and rumbling engines. Electric vehicles (EVs), from cars and buses to bikes and scooters, are taking over, promising cleaner air, quieter streets, and a more sustainable future.· Shared Mobility: Owning a car is becoming less of a necessity and more of a luxury. Ride-sharing apps, carpooling services, and bike-sharing programs are providing convenient and affordable alternatives, reducing congestion and parking woes.· Micromobility: Nimble and eco-friendly, e-scooters, e-bikes, and personal mobility devices are zipping through urban corridors, offering last-mile solutions and connecting commuters with public transportation networks.Automation: Self-driving cars and robo-taxis are no longer science fiction. Pilot programs are underway, and the potential for safer, more efficient transportation is within reach

La ricerca presenta un'analisi dell'influenza del regime idrochimico di fiumi e canali sulla salute della popolazione rurale. Per confrontare i materiali delle statistiche mediche e i valori osservati del regime idrochimico delle acque di superficie nella regione di Tashkent, è stato utilizzato il metodo dell'analisi nosogeografica e l'analisi di regressione multivariata per elaborare i materiali di osservazione. I risultati della valutazione del rischio di aumento dell'incidenza sono presentati sotto forma di equazioni dell'analisi di regressione multivariata con i corrispondenti coefficienti di determinazione. Complessivamente, il coefficiente di determinazione multipla è pari a 0,38. Oltre il 30% di tutti i fattori che influenzano la morbilità della popolazione dipende dal regime idrochimico del deflusso superficiale, mentre il restante 70% dipende da altri fattori - genetici, cure mediche, condizioni e stile di vita e lo stato generale dell'ambiente. È stato utilizzato un nuovo approccio per valutare l'impatto della qualità dell'acqua sulla salute della popolazione rurale e il rischio di morbilità. Sulla base di questo approccio, è possibile sviluppare misure preventive per ridurre la morbilità complessiva della popolazione rurale.

La Ecosofia agromusical: saberes campesinos en los sones del mariachi, es un trabajo donde se analizan las letras de los sones y contextualizan los saberes campesinos implícitos en los mismos, reflexionando sobre datos agrohistóricos de la época en que fueros compuestos, entendiendo así su impacto ecosocial, tanto en el público como en los compositores y músicos. El objetivo fue ubicar e interpretar dichos saberes contenidos en los sones, para revalorarlos mediante su discusión en el ámbito agronómico. Se encontró que existen muchos sones cuyo significado tiene que ver con las actividades del medio rural, con una vigencia tal que son muy apreciados por su complejidad, tanto musical como identitaria en el contexto actual de la nueva ruralidad y la complejidad ambiental.

Hipster fahren mit dem Fixie durch die Straßen, das Fahrrad hängt dekorativ an der Wohnzimmerwand und immer mehr Menschen investieren in teure Fahrräder, Kleidung und andere Ausstattung. Auch aus aktivistischen Szenen ist das Fahrrad nicht mehr wegzudenken. Ausgehend von diesen Beobachtungen entwirft das vorliegende Buch am Beispiel Berlins einen neuen Begriff von Mobilitätskulturen und zeigt auf, dass der Imagewandel des städtischen Radfahrens ein zentraler Baustein der Verkehrswende hin zu lebenswerten Städten ist. Gegenstand der Analyse bilden die komplexen alltagsweltlichen wie medialen Verknüpfungen zwischen Kultur und Verkehrsplanung.

Zeitreise über Ostfriesland112 Schrägluftbilder aus den Jahren 1927 bis 1938 zeigt dieser Band, die in dieser Form erstmalig veröffentlicht sind. Die Aufnahmen entführen den Betrachter auf eine Zeitreise fast ein Jahrhundert zurück. Sie sind Zeugnisse der Vergangenheit und bieten einen Maßstab für die Veränderungen in den Orts- und Landschaftsbildern. Dieses Buch dokumentiert den Wandel einer alten Kulturlandschaft.Zumeist wurde mit großformatigen Plattenkameras gearbeitet, für die Luftbildner und Piloten in ihren offenen Flugzeugen war dies eine besondere Herausforderung. Die Aufnahmen bieten eine hervorragende Auflösung und sind somit wertvolle visuelle Quellen.Diese Fotos sind nichts für den schnellen Blick, ihre Faszination entwickelt sich in einer Betrachtung mit Muße, in der sich nach und nach die Details entdecken lassen. Für Freunde historischer Fotografie ein Augenschmaus. Dann startet die echte Zeitreise. Die Bilder befinden sich heute im Landesarchiv NRW. Die Aufarbeitung dauert an, in akribischer Recherche wurden die in diesem Band veröffentlichten Fotos vom Herausgeber Dr. Matthias Meusch vom Landesarchiv NRW und Axel Heinze, seit Jahrzehnten als Regionalforscher in Ostfriesland tätig, analysiert und zugeordnet.

Für den denkenden Menschen gilt das Gehen als eine der förderlichsten Bewegungs- formen. Es ist ein Akt der Selbstsorge, der die Gedanken anregt und das Bewusstsein erweitert. Zu dieser Erkenntnis gelangten bereits die Philosophen und Dichter der Antike. Verdrängt von der Zeit des Christentums wird das Gehen als Selbstsorge erst seit der Renaissance wieder philosophisch betrachtet. Rousseau gelangt auf einem Fußmarsch zu seiner "Erleuchtung von Vincennes", Hölderlin zieht identitätsstiftende Kraft aus seinen Wanderungen, Robert Walser sieht in Spaziergängen eine essentielle Inspirationsquelle für jeden Poeten, Journalisten oder Philosophen. Walter Arnold begibt sich auf die Pfade bekennender Wanderer und Spaziergänger, folgt ihren gedanklichen Reisen und zeigt, wie das Gehen einen Beitrag zu unserem Glück leisten kann

As requested by readers of Leanne Hamilton's debut novel 'Shards Of Porcelain', 'Sculpting A Masterpiece' is a prequel. An unlikely friendship blossoms between two very different pre-teenaged boys growing up in California in the early 1970s when they discover their mutual love for music and performing. Nobody would ever have predicted that the two young friends would go on to form one of the biggest, most beloved rock bands of all time. 'Sculpting A Masterpiece' takes the reader on a journey of the band's struggles as they contend with set-backs and rejections early on in their musical journey, the different band members and associates they meet along the way, their roaring successes and, finally, the demise of the band and where it all went wrong. A motivational story of a group of friends who follow their dreams and refuse to give up.

The three Ps of art: Poetry, Painting and Photography are conjoined with essays in this artistic offering that deals with what it means to be a poet, what constitute a poem, art, art forms, content, and the poet's vocation. It consists of 33 poems, 40 paintings, 7 essays, 10 photographs and an artist statement. Borrowing from the statement by Robert Duncan that poetry comes from God, and twisting it to mean that anything that comes from God and has a life of its own is a god, the poet here becomes a god. He is a god in the form of Adam who is beholden to the earth. He knows there is no heaven for him, so through poetry he creates a heaven for him and his readers using words, images, metaphors, light, lines, diagrams, circles, space, photography...

La 'piera da l'aga' (pietra dell'acqua) di Ciago di Meduno (PN) è la base pressoria di un torchio vinario di epoca romana - una leggenda popolare vuole che il grosso monolite giacesse un tempo in mezzo al prato e che, spostato tramite l'aiuto di una coppia di buoi, fosse ritrovato il giorno seguente al posto di partenza. Solo in seguito ad un nuovo tentativo il masso ri¬mase nella nuova collocazione.Una seconda leggenda racconta, invece, che Ciago è stata in passato una "grande città", protetta dai quattro castelli di Meduno, Toppo, Cavasso e Solimbergo. La credenza è stata originata dal frequente ritrovamento, nella pianura ad Ovest e a Sud del borgo, di fondamenta di antiche case e dei resti di numerose tombe di epoca romana.Una vecchia consuetudine locale voleva che l'acqua piovana raccoltasi nelle quattro coppelle fosse benefica alla vista; veniva perciò toc¬cata dalle contadine di passaggio prima di fare il segno della croce, mentre mormoravano una preghiera.

This and That seizes the opportunity to turn the house lights on the spectacle of show that is pop cancel culture to dare to look backstage at the varied components involved in the production of abuse. Using the highly publicized R. Kelly case, and written as a graphic personal letter to Robert Kelly, the author provides a gripping critical analysis of the insidious culture of sexual abuse, through cultural elements of celebrity, law, religion, community, family, and mental health. The book-length collection of letters is made personal by its creative incorporations of first-hand experiences told through the writer's lens which is shaped by study and work in the fields of African American culture, trauma, education, pop culture, creative production, and identity construction. As a follow up to Star Struck: An American Epidemic (2004) which came to be regarded as a prescient warning, this book attempts to serve as both a cautionary tale and a building tool that implores the concept of Sankofa as it looks at and goes back through the past in earnest effort to help lay a foundation that can support the fullness of a more healthy and whole future for all.

Lon Davis was one lucky young film buff. Growing up in Southern California in the 1970s, he was able to spend quality time with some of the celebrated residents of the Motion Picture Country Home in Los Angeles. His great-uncle, a screenwriter and bit player since the movies' earliest days, looked forward to Lon's visits; so did silent film comedienne Babe London and original Stooge Larry Fine. Blessed with exceptional recall and the ability to bring those memories vividly to life, Lon shares anecdotes that are, by turns, comical, touching, and tragic. They are also true, right down to the smallest detail. As he matured, Lon became acquainted with other members of the silent film community (including the Oscar-winning historian Kevin Brownlow) and chronicles their stories as well. And finally, Lon reveals an intensely personal account of falling in love with his best friend while searching for the elusive grave of the legendary W.C. Fields. As movie producer Pancho Kohner writes in the foreword: "Stumbling into Film History is more than a book; it's an unforgettable adventure through the golden age of cinema, with the best guide you could ask for." Lon Davis is an author, editor, documentarian, and lecturer on film history. His first published book was Silent Lives:100 Biographies of the Silent Film Era (2008). He and his wife, Debra Davis (née LaCoe), co-authored King of the Movies: Francis X. Bushman (2009), and Ma and Pa Kettle on Film (2021). In addition to editing two hundred academic books on the performing arts, Lon and Debra released two volumes of essays: Stooges Among Us (2008) and CHASE! A Tribute to the Keystone Cops (2020). Debra also published a roman à clef entitled Flirtation Act: The Story of a Boy, a Girl, and Vaudeville (2016). Lon and Debra's documentary film This is Francis X. Bushman (2021) is available on Blu-ray from Flicker Alley. Lon's latest book, Stumbling Into Film History, is comprised of newly written and revised essays detailing his experiences with various denizens of early Hollywood.

The author brings a career of academic and professional directing experience to inform readers how to select, prepare, and mount a production for the stage. At the same time, he expresses the disciplines, joys, and rigors of the faith-based walk as a framework for this creative journey. The author's exploration of the aesthetic requisites for stage directing are combined with a consideration of what it means to be a practicing artist under God's creative mandate. He demonstrates how one's worldview as a believer in Jesus Christ finds reflection in a world of visual and aural metaphors within a stage production.

The analysis of masonry buildings cracks is quite a difficult task and so, because of this, almost always, scientific knowledge of experts called to perform such analysis is not enough, as together with that, it is really needed a vast experience gained by actually practicing on the work sites as well as observing and experiencing the various phenomena during a lifelong professional activity and, to this purpose, we remark that part of photographic records present on the various chapters comes from the authors' personal archives, fruit of long and intense work experience. In practice, often, it is needed to formulate, in a very short time, a diagnosis in regard of a dislocated building and/or in the ongoing structural dislocation phase, then it is needed to find out the causes in order to choose the proper urgent measures or definitive remedies, and responsibility is always a meaningful feature during the whole process, especially when the situation is serious and the time is short, as every hesitation could reveal itself fatal: only an excellent training and knowledge gained over time will allow to do so.

Perche¿ la musica di J.S. Bach risuona nella nostra anima e nelle chiese come nessun'altra? Come fanno ad esserci tesori ancora nascosti in un'opera studia- ta e sviscerata da tre secoli? In questo libricino (Bu¿chlein) si dipana un in- gegnoso percorso di scoperta di strutture rimaste incredibilmente nascoste in molte opere famose di un mostro sacro della storia della musica come Bach. E¿ un'avventura solitaria e appassionata che ha tracciato la vita dell'autore per decenni, premiata da rivelazioni sorprendenti, che illuminano punti oscuri di alcuni spartiti, oggetto di dispute musicali, o che permettono di completare pezzi mancanti o abbozzati di altri spartiti, o di attribuirne la paternitä. Dopo una analisi leggera del contesto storico e culturale ed un confronto con opere di altri musicisti della sua epoca, emerge la stupefacente capacitä uditiva e compositiva di Bach, che sbaraglia acusticamente gli altri compositori di tutti i tempi, come sbaraglio¿ i suoi concorrenti nei tornei di improvvisazione all'organo. La scoperta delle meravigliose strutture di canone multiplo e¿ la base della ricerca speculativa della seconda parte del testo, tra acustica delle sale, psicoacustica e pratica esecutiva, volta a spiegare perche¿ Bach abbia adottato questa strategia compositiva, questo "ingrediente segreto" di successo.verborgene mehrstimmige Kanons - canons multiples cachés -

«Samuel Shaw¿s engaging new book on William Rothenstein takes a figure who has frequently made a fleeting appearance in texts on twentieth-century British art and puts him centre stage. Informed by rigorous research in archives and private collections in Europe and the United States, Shaw¿s discussion of Rothenstein¿s work as an artist, campaigner, educator and organiser will be of interest to anyone seeking out more complex cultural histories of this period. Shaw¿s narrative is an impressive balance of detailed discussion about an individual¿s career and a larger argument about the tensions between the nationalism and cosmopolitanism that shaped the early twentieth-century art world.»(Sarah Victoria Turner, Director of the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art) «In this superbly well-researched book, Samuel Shaw argues convincingly that a commitment to British identity, including the experience of British Jews, is in no way at odds with a cosmopolitan openness to artistic activity across the whole of Europe, Asia and beyond. This will be the standard work on Rothenstein in his time for years to come and required reading for anyone interested in the international artworld of the period.»(Elizabeth Prettejohn, Professor of History of Art, University of York) The artist, writer and teacher William Rothenstein (1872¿1945) was a significant figure in the British art world of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. He was a conspicuously cosmopolitan character: born to a German-Jewish family in the north of England, he attended art school in Paris, wrote the first English monograph on the Spanish artist Goya, and became a prominent collector and supporter of Indian art. However, Rothenstein¿s cosmopolitanism was a complex affair. His relationship with his English, European and Jewish identities was ever-changing, responding to wider shifts on the political and cultural stage. This book traces those changes through the artist¿s writings and through his art, analysing a range of paintings, drawings and prints created from the 1890s into the 1930s. This book ¿ the first in-depth study of Rothenstein¿s art ¿ draws on extensive archival material to situate his practice within broader debates regarding transnational exchange and the development of modern art in Britain.

In der Untersuchung wird der Einfluss des hydrochemischen Regimes von Flüssen und Kanälen auf die Gesundheit der Landbevölkerung analysiert. Für den Vergleich von medizinisch-statistischem Material und beobachteten Werten des hydrochemischen Regimes von Oberflächengewässern in der Region Taschkent wurde die Methode der nosogeographischen Analyse verwendet, und für die Verarbeitung des Beobachtungsmaterials wurde die multivariate Regressionsanalyse eingesetzt. Die Ergebnisse der Bewertung des Risikos eines erhöhten Auftretens werden in Form von Gleichungen der multivariaten Regressionsanalyse mit den entsprechenden Bestimmtheitskoeffizienten dargestellt. Insgesamt liegt das Koeffizient der Mehrfachbestimmung bei 0,38. Mehr als 30 % aller Faktoren, die die Morbidität der Bevölkerung beeinflussen, hängen vom hydrochemischen Regime des Oberflächenabflusses ab, und die restlichen 70 % hängen von anderen Faktoren ab - genetische Faktoren, medizinische Versorgung, Lebensbedingungen und Lebensstil sowie der allgemeine Zustand der Umwelt. Es wurde ein neuer Ansatz verwendet, um die Auswirkungen der Wasserqualität auf die Gesundheit der Landbevölkerung und das Morbiditätsrisiko zu bewerten. Auf der Grundlage dieses Ansatzes ist es möglich, Präventivmaßnahmen zu entwickeln, um die Gesamtmorbidität der Landbevölkerung zu verringern.

A investigação apresenta uma análise da influência do regime hidroquímico dos rios e canais na saúde da população rural. Para comparar os materiais de estatísticas médicas e os valores observados do regime hidroquímico das águas superficiais na região de Tashkent, foi utilizado o método de análise nosogeográfica e a análise de regressão multivariada foi utilizada para processar os materiais de observação. Os resultados da avaliação do risco de aumento da incidência são apresentados sob a forma de equações de análise de regressão multivariada com os correspondentes coeficientes de determinação. Globalmente, o coeficiente de determinação múltipla é de 0,38. Mais de 30% de todos os factores que influenciam a morbilidade da população dependem do regime hidroquímico do escoamento superficial, e os restantes 70% dependem de outros factores - genéticos, cuidados médicos, condições e estilo de vida, e o estado geral do ambiente. Foi utilizada uma nova abordagem para avaliar o impacto da qualidade da água na saúde da população rural e o risco de morbilidade. Com base nesta abordagem, é possível desenvolver medidas preventivas para reduzir a morbilidade global da população rural.
