Logging Truck

Industrial forestry activities in New Zealand are now in a phase of unprecedented growth: the annual cut will double from 18 million m3 to well over 30 million m3 a year during the next 5 years. Given that most of the wood is taken from forest to mill or port by road in New Zealand, including a portion of the trip on public highways, the impacts of the doubling in logging truck traffic will be significant and severe. New Zealand’s roads have, for the most part, thin-sealed, unbound pavements. New Zealand’s second-largest industrial sector is tourism. Pavements and tourists will feel the impact of the looming increase in logging truck traffic unless steps are taken to anticipate the changes in traffic volumes and patterns. There is the complicating factor that the dairy industry too is now expanding rapidly with associated increases in raw milk tanker traffic. There is some friction between the forest industry and the dairy industry over which will be responsible for the increased strengthening, rehabilitation, and maintenance of roads. Research is under way to use regional network analysis and geographic information systems to predict the increases in heavy-truck traffic and changes in its distribution on public roads. This is the first step toward devising measures to mitigate the impacts and is a precursor to the implementation of pavement management. A unique opportunity exists in southern New Zealand: cooperation between forest operators and government agencies in the Otago and Southland region of the South Island of New Zealand on large-scale projects, providing the environment needed to examine such large, landscape-scale problems.

Analytical Tools

This chapter applies the proposed methodology to the working dataset of 67 wrecks. Varied quantitative analyses serve to contextualize spatial and diachronic trends in the study area against the broad backdrop of the east and Mediterranean as a whole. Two discrete peaks of activity provide the basis for constructing comparative Social Network Analysis visualizations of Roman and Late Antique connections within and among the geographical areas represented by cargos. The analytical tools of Geographic Information Systems, together with environmental parameters and seafaring capabilities, allow these network links to be grounded spatially using likely sailing times; such journey lengths reflect the “costs”—and therefore the potential regularity and investment—represented by these connections.

Phenomenological Design

The purpose of the present study is to determine geography teachers’ opinions about how often, for what reasons and for what subjects the geographic information systems (GIS) are used in geography lessons. This qualitative study was carried out based on phenomenological design. The study was conducted with 15 geography teachers servicing at different schools in a city of Turkey. The teachers’ opinions were obtained via the semi-structured interview form developed by the researcher and the series of obtained data were analysed via the content analysis method. The study results showed that a great majority of the teachers did not use the GIS in their lessons and the reason for this was that they are not having sufficient knowledge about how to use them. Also, the teachers emphasised the insufficiency of possibilities, infrastructure, software and hardware. However, it was observed that all the teachers agreed on the necessity of using the GIS in geography lessons.

Ownership Of Information

The blockchain restores control and ownership of information back to its rightful owner, thus eliminating dependencies on central authorities and third parties. These material chains are immensely complex; they can be subject to the laws and regulations of more than 200 countries and territories, and they are heavily influenced by many different factors ranging from freight consolidation to the timing of hundreds of concurrent shipments. This chapter is about algorithmic modeling of supply chain management using natural knowledge from a 3D-hybrid blockchain as a dragon chain.

Denne ph.d.-afhandling er en undersøgelse af struktur og agens i to vestjyske nabobyer 1880-1921. Ringkøbing er en gammel købstad med rødder i middelalderen, hvorimod den langt yngre Skjern er resultat af markedsøkonomi og ny infrastruktur i det sene 1800-tal. • Med hvilke ligheder og forskelle udviklede økonomi og befolkningsforhold sig i Ringkøbing og Skjern 1880-1921, og lader udviklingen sig forklare i perspektiver af generel økonomisk og geografisk strukturel årsag af hvilken, de to vestjyske byers forhold og udvikling var afledt virkning? • Hvilke ligheder og forskelle gjorde sig gældende i relationerne i Ringkøbing og Skjerns elitenetværk 1880-1921, og agerede de to byers centrale aktører i parallelitet eller forskellighed? I hvilken grad var disse relationelle og personlige strukturer drivende for byernes udvikling? Afhandlingen rammesættes med en introducerende del med kapitler om historiografi, teori, metode og vestjysk kontekst. Kapitel 1 om den eksisterende forskning og dens teoretiske perspektiver introducerer det centrale begrebspar afhængig og uafhængig variabel i byhistorie. Forskning i bysystem og rumlig segregering identificeres med det første, studier om den lille by med forening som prisme med det andet. Kapitel 2 introducerer centrale teoretiske perspektiver fra den byhistoriske governanceforskning og fra Mustafa Emirbayers relationelle sociologi, der informerer arbejdet med den uafhængige variabel. Det tredje kapitel placerer afhandlingen i den digitale historie. Folketællinger fra de to byer 1880, 1901 og 1921 gøres til genstand for database, og analyser præsenteres ved brug af Geographic Information Systems (GIS) og Social Network Analysis (SNA). Det indledende hovedafsnit afsluttes med kapitel 4 om det danske og det vestjyske bysystem og om relevante regionale og lokale perspektiver i forhold til afhandlingens forskningsspørgsmål. Spørgsmålet om struktur og agens gøres til genstand for undersøgelser i en analysestrategi, der udfoldes i to hoveddele: Det første kapitel i del I adresserer identifikation af den lille bys befolkning i folketællinger fra tiden omkring 1900. Kapitel 6 udgøres af en direkte sammenligning af de to byer, hvad angår befolkningsforhold, indkomst, immigration, erhverv og husstande. Derefter følger kapitlerne 7-8 om byernes indre geografiske udvikling. Den samlede konklusion for disse kapitler om de to byer set som afhængige variabler angår en ret vidtrækkende ensartethed trods forskellige historiske udgangspunkter og forskellige vækstrater. Dette resultat relateres til de ret ens geografiske forudsætninger og ret ens udviklinger i landbruget i de to byers oplande. Del II, hvor de to byer studeres med uafhængig variabel som overskrift, indledes med kapitel 9, hvor analysegenstanden indsnævres fra totale befolkninger til centrale aktører i kultur og økonomi. Efter et kort kapitel, hvor disse mindre grupper gøres til genstand for undersøgelser svarende til dem i kapitel 6, udgøres de centrale kapitler i del II af netværksanalyser angående relationer og grupperinger blandt disse kredse. Kapitel 11 om Ringkøbing fokuserer på håndværksmestrenes gradvist ændrede adgang til købstadens elite. Kapitel 12 om Skjern bygges op omkring de religiøse vækkelsers rolle i den nye bys elite. Disse perspektiver sammenlignes i kapitel 13, hvor de to byer underkastes undersøgelserne vice versa i kortere form. Det afsluttende kapitel i del II udgøres af en serie portrætter af enkeltpersoner fra begge byer med henblik på at eksemplificere og uddybe analyserne af forhold mellem agens og struktur. Del II munder ud i en mere kompleks konklusion end del I. Inden for de langt hen ad vejen ensartede økonomiske og geografiske strukturer agerede byernes førende mænd i forskelligartede kulturelle situationer. I Ringkøbing var der tradition og familier, der imidlertid blev ved deres gamle strategier for handel og administration, således at der også blev plads til nye grupper inden for håndværk og industri. Ved undersøgelsesperiodens slutning observeres tendenser til en mere opdelt elite. Den nye by Skjern på den anden side var en situation uden traditioner. Her måtte de førende mænd etablere rammer for både samarbejde og konkurrence fra bunden. I denne forbindelse spillede de religiøse bevægelser en rolle som institutioner, hvor individer kunne operere skiftevis i konkurrence og fælles interesse.
