Les pratiques de l'agriculture itinérante incontrôlée, en Côte d'Ivoire en général et dans le Département d'Akoupé en particulier, ont eu des effets néfastes sur le couvert forestier. La présente étude, a pour objectif de décrire les stratégies que développent les acteurs du domaine forestier dans la préservation des forêts villageoises. La méthode adoptée a consisté à combiner recherches documentaires, observations directes et enquêtes de terrain. Les enquêtes ont été conduites sur la base d'un guide d'entretien. Pour rendre les résultats objectifs, la théorie de l'interactionnisme symbolique et celle de la représentation sociale ont été adoptées. Les résultats ont montré que l'Etat de Côte d'Ivoire et les populations locales développent des stratégies tant modernes que traditionnelles, à travers les structures chargées du domaine forestier, pour préserver les forêts villageoises. The uncontrolled agricultural nomadic practices conducted in Ivory Coast, especially in the Department of Akoupe, have resulted to some negative impacts on the forest covert. This investigation conducted in that department targetsthe description of the strategies implemented by the actors of the forest domain, who are willing to protect the natural forests in villages. The methodology they adopted consisted of a combination of documentary researches, direct observations, and ground investigations. The investigations occurred on the basis of an interview guide targeting the performers of the forest area. To be much more objective, the theory of the symbolic interactionism and that of the social representation were adopted. The results of the study show that the Ivorian government as well as the local populations, using the structures in charge of the forest area, created both modern and traditional strategies to preserve the village forests.

This article clarifies the potential environmental impacts of more or less expansive EU immigration policies. First, we project the demographic impacts of different immigration policy scenarios on future population numbers, finding that relatively small annual differences in immigration levels lead to large differences in future population numbers, both nationally and region-wide. Second, we analyze the potential impacts of future population numbers on two key environmental goals: reducing the EU's greenhouse gas emissions and preserving its biodiversity. We find that in both cases, smaller populations make success in these endeavors more likely – though only in conjunction with comprehensive policy changes which lock in the environmental benefits of smaller populations. Reducing immigration in order to stabilize or reduce populations thus can help EU nations create ecologically sustainable societies, while increasing immigration will tend to move them further away from this goal.

In the context of centenary of World War I, the focus of this text are results and strategy of cultural diplomacy which were conducted by a leader of the Serbian military band officially called the Band of the Cavalry Division (Muzika Konjicke divizije). The stage for these activities was in North Africa (1916-1918), where part of the Serbian army recuperated from retreat across the mountains of Albania. This paper is a result of an extensive archival research of the National Library of Serbia's collections and periodicals published during the Great War in North Africa. The article also sheds light on the work of a musician, Dragutin F. Pokomi. This paper also highlights key points in the fruitful encounter between Serbian military musicians and the multi-layered cultures of the Maghreb countries and examines the importance of the BCD's promotion of Serbian culture overseas, as a type of cultural diplomacy.

The Fonte Gaia from Renaissance to Modern Times examines the history of Siena's famous public fountain, from its fifteenth-century origins to its eventual replacement by a copy in the nineteenth century (and the modern fate of both). The book explores how both the Risorgimento and the Symbolist movements have shaped our perceptions of the Italian Renaissance, as the Quattrocento was filtered through the lens of contemporary art and politics.
