    2. the Communications Sector in Italy

    2. The communications sector in Italy 2. The communications sector in Italy 2.1. Telecommunications In a picture of progressive deterioration of the macroeconomic situation, the trend of contraction of the telecommunications market, on both fixed and mobile network, already observed for some years, was confirmed in 2011. In this context, the elements which best qualify the Italian telecommunications market, show no substantial change in 2011 compared to the last two years. These elements can be summed up as follows: i) the expenditure of families and companies in telecommunications services continues to fall, with a slight acceleration compared to 2010; ii) the reduction in the prices of telecommunications services to both private and business customers, on both fixed and mobile networks, is constant; iii) the contraction in voice calls on dial-up network continues, with a reduction of 11.7% in the number of minutes consumed, while voice traffic from the mobile network has increased by another 10% in the last year; iv) the spread of broadband services on fixed and mobile network has produced further growth in income deriving from data services; v) there is still growth, but with indications of the saturation of the relative market, in the virtual mobile telephony compartment; vi) with regard to the competitive situation, the erosion of Telecom Italia's total market share continues; vii) in last autumn, an auction was held for the assigning of the usage rights of the frequencies in the 800, 1,800, 2,000 and 2,600 MHz bands, which led to a total commitment of the mobile operators for € 3.9 billion; viii) on the other hand, the reduction in investments in infrastructures is confirmed;9 ix) The gross profit of the sector is substantially stable, also thanks to the continuous restructuring and cost containment actions carried out by the telecommunications companies.

    ACCESSIBLE VIEWPOINT - MOUNT SPINALE gruppobrenta.it © description UNESCO Dolomites system Brenta Dolomites mountain group(s) Brenta UNESCO values Landscape: the Dolomites are the universal archetype for a specific mountain landscape that takes its name, “Dolomite landscape”, from these very mountains. A number of key features define this particular landscape. Firstly the extremely complex topography, distinctive for the mountain ranges that, while separate, are juxtaposed in a particularly contained setting. Secondly, the uncommon variety of shapes, both vertical (cliffs, needles, spires, pinnacles, towers and jagged peaks) and horizontal (ledges, roofs, overhangs, crags, plateaux and high plains). First and foremost however, the Dolomites are famous for their exceptional varieties of colour and the extraordinary contrast between the soft lines of the pasturelands and the sudden vertical thrust of the stark, bare mountain peaks. The remarkable mountain landscape that we see today has changed very little since it formed millions of years ago. The unmistakable, familiar shapes of the Dolomite peaks are none other than the atolls and coral reefs of those ancient times, while the Alpine passes and inhabited valleys we see today correspond to the deep stretches of sea which originally separated them. This is the only example in the world of a fossil landscape that is as recognisable as this, a tropical archipelago that has transformed into extraordinary towering mountains. Geology: The Dolomites are one of the best conserved examples in the world of fossil reefs and tropical environments of the Mesozoic era. They preserve fossil evidence of the organisms which were instrumental in their formation around 250 million years ago.

In the beginning of this decade, researcher found that they were ubiquitous in living organism and human, and that they possibly had characteristics of persistent organic pollutants. Therefore, there is an emerging need to study PFOS and PFOA contamination environment, particularly in the water environment. The research aims at examination of spatial distribution and behavior of PFOS and PFOA in water environment of several countries, with focus on new places where examination has never been conducted. Therefore, the method to analyze PFOS and PFOA in environmental water was developed. Sampling surveys were conducted to collect various types of water including surface water, wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) discharges, and tap water from various locations for analysis of PFOS and PFOA. Distribution and behavior of PFOS and PFOA were examined as three main parts.

Department of Geology, Faculty of basic science, Shahid Bahonar University, Kerman, Iran Received 4 February 2008; accepted: 8 September 2009 Abstract The most enigmatic problems with the nearly 200 salt domes pierced in the Persian Gulf and in the Zagros Mountain Ranges (ZMR) in southern Iran, a unique morphology in the world, have been the matter of this study, which is based on a combination of field work, enhancement of satellite and aerial photographs etc. In the ZMR, structural anomalies are frequently associated with similar facies distribution patterns. In the eastern portion of the region, emergent salt plugs of Infra-Cambrian age exhibit the same alignment patterns. Such trends bear no apparent genetic relationship to the Tertiary folding responsible for the present Zagros fold belt, but rather indicate their affinity with linear basement features which are readily observable on Land sat imagery and aerial photographs. Bending of anticlines in the competent cover rock, combined with minor strike-slip faults and horizontal displacements of parts of folded structures, strongly point to the presence of these basement faults.

  • A Sustainable (Culture Protecting) Tourism Indicator for Cultural and Environmental Heritage Tourism Initiatives

    A Sustainable (Culture Protecting) Tourism Indicator for Cultural and Environmental Heritage Tourism Initiatives

    Asian Journal of Tourism Research Vol. 1, No. 2, December 2016, pp. 101-144 https: doi.org 10.12982 AJTR.2016.0017 A Sustainable (Culture Protecting) Tourism Indicator for Cultural and Environmental Heritage Tourism Initiatives David Lempert* Abstract: This article restores the international community’s goals for cultural sustainability and cultural protections in the context of tourism where it has been replaced by a concept of “sustainable tourism” that promotes exploitation of cultural resources but does little to protect and promote cultures and their environments. The article offers an indicator for screening government initiatives in cultural and environmental heritage tourism to assure that they meet the standards that are part of a global consensus in international laws and declarations. It offers a test of New Zealand Aid’s Tourism Project in Laos as an example of how the indicator can be used to expose failures in this field. Keywords: Tourism, Sustainability, Cultural Heritage, Environment Introduction There is a fundamental paradox at the heart of international tourism and efforts to protect it through “sustainable tourism” initiatives. While the attraction of international tourism is the value placed on cultural and environmental differences that are recognized and protected by a long list of international laws and treaties, the actual impacts of tourism, globalization and “growth” are to destroy cultural diversity and environments. While international organizations have created sets of standards and protections for “sustainable tourism”, the impact of these recommendations has been negligible. Placed together, the facts are startling. - Statistics suggest that one tenth of global GDP now comes from tourism and roughly the same amount of the global labor force (9%) works in tourism (Sharpley 2009, p.4).

  • Some Topics for Coral Reefs of the Persian Gulf

    Some Topics for Coral Reefs of the Persian Gulf

    Some topics for coral reefs of the Persian Gulf H. Rezai (PhD) Some Characteristics of the Persian Gulf • High salinity up to 41 psu in the north and 200 psu in the south • High temperature range from 16 oC in winter to 36-37 oC in summer • The narrow Strait of Hormuz prevents some larvae from entering the Gulf • Shallow Gulf, mean depth of 35 m, recorded 108 m near Lesser Tunb • Sedimentary basin, hi turbidity • Circulation of water, Mediterranean type • Pollution load • Wars The Persian Gulf is endowed with many islands. This is one of the rare places in earth where the corals can thrive at their extreme temperature with annual temperature fluctuations of > 25o C, so it can act as a laboratory for predicting Climate Change. Low diversity in terms of corals, containing possibly 100 species, a quarter of the number in the Indian Ocean, but abundant in terms of individuals, this is due to extremes in water temperature and salinity that are close to the physiological tolerance limits of many coral species, including a few species endemic to this region (Sheppard and Sheppard, 1991). Coral Reef Structure in the Persian Gulf Dominant reefs are of fringing type. Poorly developed patch reefs. Cycle of mortality, breakdown and re-growth inhibit framework accumulation (Grandcourt, ?). Coral reef development, limitation in Persian Gulf -Undergo extremes of temperature and salinity fluctuations -Undergo high levels of sedimentation and turbidity. -Tolerate high pollution load caused by to oil spillage, shipping and wars -Limited hard substrate for coral growth in the Persian Gulf. - Diseases - Human effects Notion of reef Oyster reef? Polychaete reef? So on The synonym of coral reef in the Persian language is Wrong! آبسنگهای مرجانی!! Coral reefs are not سنگفرش مرجانی Number of hard coral species in each country in the Persian Gulf.
