FORMATION OF TERRITORY’S IMAGE AS A COMPONENT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY UNDER CONDITIONS OF GLOBALIZATION

In scientific article the formation of territories’ image as a component of sustainable development strategy under conditions of globalization, integration and information are examined by the author. The basic features, characteristics, objectives and goals of working out of sustainable development strategy are considered. The interrelation of the formation of territory’ image and strategy development is determined. Three types of the image of countries, which have been formed depending on the stage of civilization development are characterized. The problems of integration of Ukraine into the global market space are considered. Conclusions based on the research are made

SOUND AT THE END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT

This article gives a detailed description of Deleuze and Guattari's theory of the refrain and argues its usefulness for an understanding of popular music. This is followed by an application of Deleuze and Guattari's theory of the refrain to a specific, and problematic, attempt at territorial formation and deformation - the appearance of Australian expatriate independent music emblem, Nick Cave, in the German auteur Wim Wenders' 1987 film Wings of Desire.)

The Lipid Transfer Protein STARD3: an Architect from inside the Cell

STARD3 [(StAR)‐related lipid transfer domain protein 3] belongs to the START domain protein family, a group of protein having lipid transfer properties. STARD3 is a sterol binding protein located on the limiting membrane of late endosomes, where it is involved in cholesterol transport. Indeed in mammalian cells, high levels of STARD3 are associated with the presence of enlarged endosomes enriched in cholesterol. Using a correlative electron and light microscopy approach, we showed that STARD3 remodels the subcellular architecture. Remarkably, STARD3 ties endosomes with the endoplasmic reticulum. The molecular mechanism of this attachment was solved and relies on the specific interaction between STARD3 and VAP proteins [VAMP‐Associated Proteins (VAP‐A and VAP‐B)]. Altogether our results show that STARD3 and VAP proteins form a novel molecular machinery creating inter‐organelle membrane contacts sites (MCSs), governing the formation of a specific subcellular territory between endosomes and the endoplasmic reticulum. Using in vitro reconstitution, we are able to address the lipid transfer potential of this novel machinery. How STARD3‐made endoplasmic reticulum‐endosomes MCSs control the dynamics of the endosomal compartment will be presented.

GEOGRAFIA, CARTOGRAFIA E O BRASIL AFRICANO: ALGUMAS REPRESENTAÇÕES

<p>Dentre as questões estruturais relacionadas à cultura africana no Brasil que continuam merecendo investigação e conhecimento, destaca-se as relacionadas aos aspectos geográficos e historiográficos da nossa formação territorial, geralmente tratadas sem as referências devidas às matrizes e ancestratlidades africanas “invisíveis” na sociedade brasileira. O paper resgata as principais referências da geopolítica da diáspora África-América-Brasil e a configuração atual da população afrobrasileira contemporânea. O pensamento social preconceituoso ainda dominante e o desconhecimento da população do país, no que se refere ao continente africano e as suas relações com o Brasil, continuam sendo um dos entraves estruturais para uma perspectiva real de diminuição da exclusão e invisibilidade secular, assim como, a criação no setor decisório, das condições necessárias para a implementação eficaz de políticas públicas mais articuladas e com resultados satisfatórios, sobretudo, na educação e no espaço geográfico.</p>

Модель профессионального туристского образования в системе формирования и продвижения бренда территории (на примере г. Белгорода и Белгородской области)

The article proposes a model of professional training development, as applied to professional training in
 tourism. The model provides for the peculiarities of a transboundary region and enhances the attractiveness
 of urban areas as centers of scientific and educational tourism. The authors systematize the modes of formation and promotion of the city of Belgorod’s tourist brand incorporating a variety of tourism types.
 Special attention is paid to identifying innovative approaches to an integration of educational and research
 activities at HE institutions offering professional training in tourism. The authors suggest revising the content
 of the «educational quality» concept, and claim that its tasks, objectives, technologies, forms and educational
 strategies be differently interpreted in the light of educational transformations. With the view to improving
 the quality of professional training in tourism and educational process optimization, the authors insist that
 innovative teaching strategies, on-site learning, academic exchange and students’ apprenticeship in Russia
 and abroad should be recognized as the major contributors. The authors conclude that among the most
 valuable in the context of tourist activity and employability-enhancing competences are design and destination
 management skills. In this regard, the authors demonstrate the process of industry-specific education content
 formation in general and concerning skills in tourist destination management in particular. The rationale for
 developing the content of a training module connected with territorial tourist brand formation is based on the
 conceptual definition of the specifics of tourist activity types and a consideration of the existing and potential
 major target tourist flows. The authors emphasise the role of excursion-and-education programmes in the
 implementation of the educational evolution as outlined in the article.

The Fox/Forkhead transcription factor family of the hemichordate Saccoglossus kowalevskii.

BackgroundThe Fox gene family is a large family of transcription factors that arose early in organismal evolution dating back to at least the common ancestor of metazoans and fungi. They are key components of many gene regulatory networks essential for embryonic development. Although much is known about the role of Fox genes during vertebrate development, comprehensive comparative studies outside vertebrates are sparse. We have characterized the Fox transcription factor gene family from the genome of the enteropneust hemichordate Saccoglossus kowalevskii, including phylogenetic analysis, genomic organization, and expression analysis during early development. Hemichordates are a sister group to echinoderms, closely related to chordates and are a key group for tracing the evolution of gene regulatory mechanisms likely to have been important in the diversification of the deuterostome phyla.ResultsOf the 22 Fox gene families that were likely present in the last common ancestor of all deuterostomes, S. kowalevskii has a single ortholog of each group except FoxH, which we were unable to detect, and FoxQ2, which has three paralogs. A phylogenetic analysis of the FoxQ2 family identified an ancestral duplication in the FoxQ2 lineage at the base of the bilaterians. The expression analyses of all 23 Fox genes of S. kowalevskii provide insights into the evolution of components of the regulatory networks for the development of pharyngeal gill slits (foxC, foxL1, and foxI), mesoderm patterning (foxD, foxF, foxG), hindgut development (foxD, foxI), cilia formation (foxJ1), and patterning of the embryonic apical territory (foxQ2).ConclusionsComparisons of our results with data from echinoderms, chordates, and other bilaterians help to develop hypotheses about the developmental roles of Fox genes that likely characterized ancestral deuterostomes and bilaterians, and more recent clade-specific innovations.

Panama as Palimpsest: The Reformulation of the ‘Transit Corridor’ in a Global Economy

AbstractThe interface between economic globalization and territorial formation has been a fundamental concern to scholars from a wide range of disciplines as both supra‐ and subnational configurations increasingly supplant the role of the nation‐state so as to achieve purported political or economic objectives. Though extensive literatures document this process, considerable lacunae exist with regard to the understanding thereof within a socio‐historical framework. This article invokes the concept of ‘palimpsest’ as a metaphor through which one reads the re‐inscription of multiple layers of the built environment or territory vis‐à‐vis the widespread changes within Panama's ‘transit corridor’ — a densely settled territorial strip extending from the northern city of Colón to Panama City in the south. Though much of this transformation has been attributed to the newfound economic stability of the Panamanian state, I argue that these structural changes are best understood in the context of prior developments on the Isthmus of Panama dating back centuries. To this end, both structural and poststructural arguments are invoked so as to transgress a narrow focus on Panama as a fixed territorial entity.

Construir e recordar o passado: a formação territorial da Coroa de Aragão interpretada por Pedro o Cerimonioso (1336-1387)

In the writing of history, several times the same past was remembered in different contexts, so that several manuscripts that contain the same text constitute the manuscript tradition of a document, which may present textual, palaeographical and codicological differences and, mainly, different reasons for its composition. In this sense, this article aims to analyze the different contexts of composition of the manuscripts of the Book of Deeds of James I of Aragon (1208-1276) produced during the reign of Peter III of Aragon (1336-1387), also known as Peter the Ceremonious: the first manuscript was produced in the year 1343 (ms. 1 of the Library of the Universitat de Barcelona) and the second in 1380 (ms. 1734 of the Library of Catalunya). Our intention is to reconstruct the contexts of compositions of these manuscripts in order to understand how the elaboration and recordation of the past by Peter III influenced the territorial formation of the Crown of Aragon.

Effects of tunnel structures of two termite species on territorial competition and territory size

The foraging territories of 2 subterranean termites, Coptotermes formosanus Shiraki and Reticulitermes flavipes (Kollar), were simulated using a model to explore how territorial intraspecific competition changes with 4 variables characterizing the formation of territory: the number of primary tunnels, N0; the branching probability, Pbranch; the number of territories, N; and the blocking probability, Pblock. The blocking probability Pblock quantitatively describes the probability that a tunnel will be terminated when another tunnel is encountered; higher Pblock values indicate more likely termination. Higher tunnel-tunnel encounters led to denser tunnel networks. We defined a territory as a convex polygon containing a tunnel pattern and explored the effects of competition among termite colonies on territory size distribution at steady state attained after sufficient simulation time. At the beginning of the simulation, N=10, 20,…, 100 initial territory seeds were randomly distributed within a square area. In our previous study, we introduced an interference coefficient γ to characterize territorial competition. Higher γ values imply higher limitations on network growth. We theoretically derived γ as a function of Pblock and N. In this study, we considered the constants in γ as functions of N0 and Pbranch so as to quantitatively examine the effect of tunnel structure on territorial competition. By applying statistical regression to the simulation data, we determined the generalized γ functions for both species. Under competitive conditions, territory size is most strongly affected by N0, while the outcome of territorial competition is most strongly affected by N, followed by Pblock and N0.

Judah's Expansion in Historical Context

The rise of Judah as a territorial kingdom is characterized by expansion from the southern hill country to the Shephelah and the Beer-sheba–Arad Valleys. Archaeological and historical considerations indicate that this process could not have occurred before the mid-9th century BCE and that it probably persisted until the end of that century. During most of the 9th century BCE the kings of Judah maintained political and familial ties with the kings of Israel. This study aims to explore the nature of these relationships and the extent to which they influenced the territorial and political formation of the Southern Kingdom.

Стратегическое позиционирование городов и регионов

Situational analysis allows to combine ideas about marketing and management areas, at least at the strategic level, to look at regional development from the standpoint of Strategic Market Management. Especially great is its role in building the vision of the future territorial formation and selection of the main areas to achieve it. Actually, Strategic Market Management territorial development, based on the strategic positioning of the city or region combines three aspects of accounting and management: a category that successfully meets the needs of their environment (it is), the consumer segment (for whom it is) and benefits (it gives the consumer), — and is intended to reconcile the promises that gives elected in the strategic positioning of the brand of the city or region, with the actual investment strategy, which should provide a parallel implementation of the identified competitive advantages of the region or city through the implementation of strategic initiatives and project — specific drivers that are actively interested in the main consumers of media city or region — residents, businesses, investors. The results of such initiatives and projects, in turn, provide the efficiency and quality of reproduction and use of strategic resources of cities and regions, the best implementation of the three main functions as a place of residence, place of management and recreational facilities, and thus increase the competitiveness of the territorial entities and improve their strategic positioning.

A Invenção dos Caminhos Reais do Ouro: Formação Territorial e as Estratégias de Apropriação Territorial dos Eixos de Circulação no Século XVIII

Este texto tem por objetivo analisar as estratégias empregadas pela elite colonial brasileira no processo de apropriação territorial do Caminho Real do Ouro (Minas Gerais -- Rio de Janeiro), por meio de concessão de sesmarias na primeira metade do século XVIII, cujo objetivo era tirar o máximo proveito da circulação obrigatória de pessoas e mercadorias por meio do abastecimento de alimentos, cobranças de passagens, aluguel de ranchos, etc. nos pousos e fazendas que foram se formando nestas sesmarias. O estudo baseia-se na análise de fontes documentais transcritas em periódicos específicos e obras de referência. Conclui-se que para a compreensão da formação territorial brasileira no século XVIII, não basta analisar isoladamente a mineração aurífera, mas toda a sua cadeia produtiva com destaque para o sistema de circulação que não só uniu o interior ao litoral, como também imprimiu uma territorialidade própria ao longo desses eixos de circulação.

City Map of AncientEpomanduodurum(Mandeure–Mathay, Franche‐Comté, Eastern France): Contribution of Geophysical Prospecting Techniques

ABSTRACTThis study presents the main results of the geophysical survey of ancientEpomanduodurum, at Mandeure–Mathay, Eastern France. In northeastern Gaul,Epomanduodurumis a site of a major scientific interest for the understanding of past settlements and territorial formation at the end of the Iron Age and during the Roman period. The site, including a Roman urban centre and two suburbs containing workshops, occupies more than 500 ha inside and beyond a meander of the River Doubs. From the beginning of survey in 2001, several methods (fast electrical imaging automatic resistivity profiling system, ground penetrating radar, magnetic and electromagnetic mapping) have been performed on a large scale in order to precisely identify the vast extent and structure of the Roman town. The interpretation of the geophysical data was carried out using a combination of different data sources, including ancient maps and excavations recently conducted on restricted areas. The overall organization of an artisan quarter of 8 ha was revealed along a main Roman road leading to the left bank of the River Doubs. On the other bank, a river fortification and a vast monumental religious complex were recognized in the southern part of the Roman town. The geophysical imaging shows that the sacred area includes several temples or groups of temples radiating from the theatre. Other new buried structures probably corresponding to annexes, chapels and altars were also detected within this sacred area of 10 ha bound on three sides by a wall enclosure with monumental passages. In a surveyed area of 70 ha, geophysical prospecting techniques provided a clear overall image of the Roman urbanism revealed through a rectangular road network and street system delimiting insulae of variable sizes. The detection along the River Doubs of buildings similar to storehouses attests to fluvial transport and also suggests the likely existence of a port. More generally, the combination on a large scale of geophysical prospecting, aerial photographs and excavations allowed a new plan of the urban structure of the ancient town ofEpomanduodurumto be produced for an area of over 300 ha.

ДО ПИТАННЯ ВИТОКІВ ТА РОЗВОЮ УКРАЇНСЬКОГО КОЗАЦТВА

One of the most discussed problems of the national history is the problem of the origin and genesis of Ukrainian kozactvo. The scientists express different opinions concerning this topic, creating new scientific concepts. The most widely-spread among them are etymological, ethnic and autochthonous theories about the origin and development of kozaks in Ukraine. But the most reasonable among them is the last, which proves that the Ukrainian kozactvo appeared not due to the migration of other nations to the territory of Ukraine, but that it was formed by the local population.According to one of the main supporters of the autochthonous concept, M.Hrushevsky, in its development Ukrainian kozactvo has passed two major steps. The first - domestic that appeared in times of Kievska Rus' as a manifestation of rusich people against wild tribes. This stage in the history of Ukrainian kozaks was represented by free and strong-willed people who lived outside the territory of Kievska Rus’ in the twelfth - early thirteenth centuries, down the Danube river. They were called brodnyky and berladnyky. According to Ukrainian historians, after the conquest of these lands by Mongol-Tatars, the whole territory received a new name, given by the conquerors - kozactvo.The second stage of the genesis of the kozaks – “classic”, as the new state of the Ukrainian society, related to the formation of the wild field territory with brave and desperate guards of the southern borders of Ukraine from devastating raids of Crimean tatars. This new state consisted of different people: princes, nobles, boyars, peasants who were united by the true love to their land, by appreciation of personal freedom, recklessness and courage against the enemies. They were the ones who set up their military-political organization by the Dnieper rapids and called it Zaporiz’ka Sich, which became the beginning of a future Ukrainian kozaks state - Hetmanshina.

“Memória” de um período temporal/espacial do regime militar brasileiro: o hoje Mato Grosso do Sul na obra de reminiscências A poeira da jornada: memórias

Busca-se pensar partes do processo de formação territorial do hoje Mato Grosso do Sul através do diálogo com a obra memorialística A Poeira da Jornada: memórias (1980), escrita por Demosthenes Martins. A presente interpretação discursiva apresenta-se profícua por possibilitar entender como determinado grupo social - representado pelo autor das referidas memórias - pensou as formas/os conteúdos com que a espacialidade se apresentou antes e durante um período (1964-1979) do Regime Militar brasileiro.

Rethinking Informality: Politics, Crisis, and the City

If informality has been conventionally understood as a territorial formation or as a labour categorisation, this paper offers an alternative conceptualisation that conceives informality and formality as forms of practice. The paper examines how different relations of informal and formal practice enable urban planning, development and politics, and explores the changing relationship between informality and formality over time. To illustrate the political potential of conceiving informality and formality as practices, it highlights the fall-out from a particular urban crisis: the 2005 Mumbai monsoon floods. In the final section, the paper offers three conceptual frames for charting the changing relations of informal and formal practices: speculation, composition, and bricolage.

A Paleogene flora from the upper Bonnet Plume Formation of northeast Yukon Territory, Canada

Palaeontological exploration of the Bonnet Plume Basin in northwestern Yukon Territory, Canada, has revealed a Late Paleocene to Early Eocene macrofloral assemblage from a channel fill deposit. The flora is typified by cosmopolitan taxa and dominated by deciduous angiosperms, with the notable presence of Zizyphoides , Ettingshausenia , and Corylites . Floras with a similar composition are known from Late Cretaceous through Early Eocene deposits in Alaska and the Canadian Arctic Archipelago, where they have been interpreted as evidence for warm, equable temperatures. This collection represents the most diverse known Paleogene plant macrofossil assemblage from the Yukon Territory and helps to expand our knowledge of ancient high-latitude floras.

The role of the river Rhine in the formation of spatial structure of the economy of European countries (1st century BC — 19th century AD)

100 This article considers the main historical stages of formation of spatial economic structure of the European countries, parts of whose territories lie within the Rhine basin. The analysis covers a protracted chronological interval from the Roman colonization until the beginning of the 20 century. The author emphasizes the role of the River Rhine in the course of territorial structure formation. This study aims to retrace the historical sequence of the formation of territorial structure of economies of the Rhine basin countries. The research and practical significance of the work lies in the identification of the periods of increased activity in the formation of spatial structural communications of the states mentioned. The author applies the historical-descriptive approach and cartographical-geographical modelling to identify the main stages of this process. The author arrives at the following conclusions. The beginning of the formation of spatial structure of economies of the Rhine basin countries dates back to the Roman period of the history of European states rather than the industrial revolution. Similarly, it is possible to assume that primitive integration processes started to develop in the region in the same period. Throughout history, the River Rhine has served as the central axis for economic structure development. The practical significance of the article lies in identifying the early — previously insufficiently studied — stages of formation of territorial economic structure in the historical and geographical context.
