A GRADUAL CONSOLIDAÇÃO DO CONSTRUCTO DE GEOGRAFIA DE HETTNER: 1901 – 1908

No presente artigo serão analisados os textos metódicos e metodológicos fundamentais de Alfred Hettner (1859-1941) publicados no espaço de tempo de 1901 a 1908. Com estes textos Hettner almejava dois objetivos: em primeiro lugar, ele queria...

Visible yet unseen: unpacking the (in)visibilities of food-delivery riders in public space

Food-delivery riders embody a constitutive paradox of platform-mediated labour. Although visible and physically exposed in public space, their labour is obscured, their subjectivities unacknowledged, and their presence marginalised. This ar...

Ecomorphological and taphonomic gradients in clypeasteroid-dominated echinoid assemblages along a mixed siliciclastic-carbonate shelf from the early Miocene of northern Sardinia, Italy

Clypeasteroid echinoids are widespread and abundant within Miocene sedimentary sequences of the Mediterranean area within both siliciclastic and carbonate deposits. Herein, three clypeasteroid-dominated echinoid assemblages from the mixed s...

The Study of Words Related to Nature and Natural Phenomena in Iranian Oykonyms: Their Use and Background

Introduction One of the most important tools for studying the history and culture of any nation or tribe is to recognize the language and linguistic materials of that nation. Linguistic data can be divided into written and unwritten or or...

Uncovering the spatiotemporal evolution of the service industry based on geo-big-data- a case study on the bath industry in China

Abstract The bath industry has multiple attributes, such as economic, health, and cultural communication. Therefore, exploring this industry's spatial pattern evolution is crucial to forming a healthy and balanced development model. Based o...

Green corridors as climate-resilient infrastructure in smart cities: a systematic review using PRISMA guidelines

Urbanization has accelerated climate change-related risks in cities, such as urban heat islands, flooding, loss of biodiversity, and loss of ecosystem services. Green corridors have been identified as effective multifunctional approaches fo...

Qualitative Research and Its Place in Human Geography

Now in its fourth edition, Qualitative Research Methods in Human Geography continues to offer a practical, in-depth guide to understanding and conducting qualitative research in human geography....

Qualitative Research Methods in Human Geography

"Qualitative Research Methods in Human Geography is a comprehensive, practical guide to understanding and conducting qualitative research in human geography. Using a unique "how-to" approach to focus on the practical application of research...

Encyclopedia of human geography

Human geography focuses on the ways that humans interact with each other and with the environment, illuminating the complex processes and nature of our global society. This book presents the full range of this remarkable field, presenting n...

Human geography without scale

The concept of scale in human geography has been profoundly transformed over the past 20 years. And yet, despite the insights that both empirical and theoretical research on scale have generated, there is today no consensus on what is meant...

Modular multi-fidelity simulation framework for advanced sail-driven spacecraft control and dynamics in perturbation-rich regimes

This work presents a high-fidelity Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) simulation framework for the development and validation of control strategies for sail-driven spacecraft operating in Low Earth Orbit (LEO). The framework integrates NVIDIA Omniv...

A SAM2 and VLM-Based Automatic Radiological Reporting System for Pneumothorax Detection

Background/Objectives: Pneumothorax, caused by air accumulation in the pleural space, can lead to lung collapse and, if diagnosis is delayed, respiratory or cardiovascular deterioration. Most deep-learning studies on pneumothorax address cl...

Switchable half-metallicity in A-type antiferromagnetic NiI2 bilayer coupled with ferroelectric In2Se3

Abstract Electrically controlled half-metallicity in antiferromagnets is of great significance for both fundamental research and practical application. Here, by constructing van der Waals heterostructures composed of two-dimensional (2D) A-...

Data-Driven Cervical Cancer Prediction Model with Outlier Detection and Over-Sampling Methods

Globally, cervical cancer remains as the foremost prevailing cancer in females. Hence, it is necessary to distinguish the importance of risk factors of cervical cancer to classify potential patients. The present work proposes a cervical can...

MacroSwarm: A Field-based Compositional Framework for Swarm Programming

Swarm behaviour engineering is an area of research that seeks to investigate methods and techniques for coordinating computation and action within groups of simple agents to achieve complex global goals like pattern formation, collective mo...

Non-Motorized License Plate Recognition and Localization Method Based on Semantic Alignment and Hierarchical Optimization

Holding non-motorized vehicles accountable for legal violations effectively enhances urban traffic safety. Non-motorized vehicle license plates are characterized by small size, dense distribution, and ease of being obscured, which leads to ...

Preliminary guidelines for empirical research in software engineering

Empirical software engineering research needs research guidelines to improve the research and reporting processes. We propose a preliminary set of research guidelines aimed at stimulating discussion among software researchers. They are base...
