Assessment and monitoring of forest structure is frequently done with absolute density measures with field forest inventory data and expansion methods. The development of basal area and the number of trees estimation functions with data derived from very high spatial resolution satellite images enable their short-term and cost-effective evaluation, allowing also the estimation for the area not …
Rapid access to emergency medical care is crucial in reducing the implications of negative health events in terms of both mortality and disability. Thus, in a well-designed health system the geographical distribution of emergency care services should be able to minimize the share of people whose access time lies beyond critical thresholds. In spite of this, statistical information measuring acc…

The ‘learning exclusion equilibrium’ strategy in Italy also governs young adults’ possibilities of accessing higher education institutions (HEIs) and entering and being successful on the labour market. The upshot of this strategy has been to weaken the social role of universities and open the field to new players promoting new solutions based on stronger teaching and research partnerships…
This study shows the link connecting natural and cultural goods in the coastal landscape of Calabria (Southern Italy), considering seaboard and human impact risk conditions.

Filsafat psikiatri kontemporer sering kali terjebak dalam dikotomi ekstrem antara scientism (reduksionisme biologis ketat yang mereduksi gangguan mental semata-mata pada kelainan otak atau neurokimia) dan scepticism (skeptisisme yang menolak validitas ilmiah diagnosis psikiatri dan memandangnya semata-mata sebagai konstruksi sosial). Buku ini menawarkan jalan tengah yang filosofis dan metodolog…
