(Morris, 1987; Block and Brennan, 1993): 1) global-scale habitat: selection of the geographical and climate range of a species; 2) macrohabitat: identifiable units whose minimum area corresponds to an average individual home range; 3) microhabitat: environment-specific physical and biological ...
While prisoners share the same rights to health and well-being as others, an analysis of European assessments on human rights shows that a combination of poor practices in prisons often exists across Europe. In fact, prisoners’ rights to health are frequently disregarded, and many states insuffic...
In this context, assessing rockfall susceptibility and hazard is mandatory for developing proactive measures to safeguard infrastructure and human lives. This study introduces a novel methodology for evaluating the Rockfall (R) and the Earthquake-Induced Rockfall (EIR) susceptibility, followed by a ...
Since the primary objective is not to measure the actual human health risk of populations residing in the study area but to highlight the differences in the distribution of environmental hazards from an environmental justice perspective, the scoring of each site followed a simpler and more intuitive...
Diodoros also stresses the cold and harsh environment, which matches with the portrayal of violent and war-like populations. However, there are numerous points at which Diodoros stresses their “savage” nature, including reference to supposed dismemberment of enemies, human sacrifice...

Also tomatoes, eggplants, corn and potato have been imported, but these and several other plants have gradually become integral parts of the Mediterranean diet. Indeed, the benevolent climate in the region and the human activities have moulded disparate components into a balanced ecosystem (Braudel ...
Therefore, the application to landsliding of the term “natural hazard” is difficult and somewhat inadequate. The wide spectrum of landslide phenomena and the complexity and variability of their interactions with the environment (both natural and human) make the acceptance of a single definition of ...
