WORKING PAPER ON EXONYMS (Submitted under item #10 of the Provisional Agenda E/CONF.98/1) By Amal HUSSEINI (LEBANON) Head of Aerial photography section in the photogrammetry department Lebanese army – Geographic Affairs Directorate Survey Engineering Diploma – ESGT - Le Mans (France). High Studies Diploma in Remote Sensing & GIS - Paul Sabatier University (Toulouse III) – (France). The problem of the standardization of geographical names, of which the discussion of exonyms forms a large part, is an extensive and complex one. United Nations resolutions recommend the reduction of the number of exonyms as far and as quickly as possible. An exonym is a name for a place that is not used within that place by the local inhabitants, or a name for a people or language that is not used by the people or language to which it refers. The name used by the people or locals themselves is an endonym or autonym 1. For all Semitic people, including Arabic people, place names are related to an expression of a religious or an emotional thought. Like wishing and seeking blessings. Geographic names are as old as humanity, and more mysterious, because they date back to far periods when human discovered the agriculture as food resources.

Musitha Limpopo Tourism Agency, Polokwane, South Africa Received 23 December 2015; accepted 17 February 2016; published 22 February 2016 Copyright © 2016 by author and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract This was a descriptive and qualitative case study that investigated the processes involving citizen participation in the course of the attempts to replace the name Louis Trichardt with the name Makhado. I conducted qualitative and descriptive investigation based on data from literature. The data were collated from the literature, i.e. articles, policies, government legislations, municipal- reports, attendance registers and reports. The data were collected and captured in excel and ana- lyzed with results shown in tables and figures. In terms of results the study has found that Mak- hado municipality has widely invited the participation of residents through various platforms. It further revealed that only 6.7% participated in the renaming process. It was also found that 51% of residents participated in ward 20 while 49% participated in ward 21. Finally, the study con- cluded by revealing that the majority of the residents did not participate in the consultation process. In conclusion, the study revealed that the majority of the people failed to participate in the renaming process to change the name Louis Trichardt to Makhado.

  • Computational Conflict Research
    Computational Social Sciences Emanuel Deutschmann Jan Lorenz Luis G. Nardin Davide Natalini Adalbert F. X. Wilhelm Editors Computational Con ict Research Computational Social Sciences Computational Social Sciences A series of authored and edited monographs that utilize quantitative and compu- tational methods to model, analyze and interpret large-scale social phenomena. Titles within the series contain methods and practices that test and develop theories of complex social processes through bottom-up modeling of social interactions. Of particular interest is the study of the co-evolution of modern communication technology and social behavior and norms, in connection with emerging issues such as trust, risk, security and privacy in novel socio-technical environments. Computational Social Sciences is explicitly transdisciplinary: quantitative methods from fields such as dynamical systems, artificial intelligence, network theory, agent- based modeling, and statistical mechanics are invoked and combined with state-of- the-art mining and analysis of large data sets to help us understand social agents, their interactions on and offline, and the effect of these interactions at the macro level. Topics include, but are not limited to social networks and media, dynamics of opinions, cultures and conflicts, socio-technical co-evolution and social psychology. Computational Social Sciences will also publish monographs and selected edited contributions from specialized conferences and workshops specifically aimed at communicating new findings to a large transdisciplinary audience. A fundamental goal of the series is to provide a single forum within which commonalities and differences in the workings of this field may be discerned, hence leading to deeper insight and understanding.

  • Crisis and Legitimacy in Atlantic American Narratives of Piracy 1678–1865 Alexandra Ganser Maritime Literature and Culture
    MARITIME LITERATURE AND CULTURE Crisis and Legitimacy in Atlantic American Narratives of Piracy 1678–1865 Alexandra Ganser Maritime Literature and Culture Series Editors Alexandra Ganser Department of English and American Studies University of Vienna Vienna, Austria Meg Samuelson University of Adelaide Adelaide, Australia Charne Lavery University of the Witwatersrand Johannesburg, South Africa This series offers new rubrics for literary and cultural studies by focusing on maritime and coastal regions, in contrast to nation, continent and area. In doing so, it engages with current debates on comparative and world literatures, globalization, and planetary or Anthropocene thought in illuminating ways. Broadly situated in the humanities and in rela- tion to critical theory, it invites contributions that focus particularly on cultural practices – predominantly literary scholarship, but potentially also performance studies, cultural histories and media and film studies. The geographical scope allows for enquiries into single maritime regions or coastal areas but also encourages inter-ocean perspectives.

  • On Flood Risk Management Across Socio- Economic Environments
    Anales del Instituto de Actuarios Españoles, 4ª época, 26, 2020/71-102 ON FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT ACROSS SOCIO- ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTS GESTIÓN DEL RIESGO POR INUNDACIONES EN PAÍSES CON DISTINTAS CARACTERÍSTICAS SOCIOECONÓMICAS Weihong Ni†, Kira Henshaw*, Wei Zhu*a, Jing Wang*, Maoqi Hu*, and Corina Constantinescu* † Arcadia University, USA * University of Liverpool, UK Date of reception: September 8th 2020 Date of acceptance: October 24th 2020 Abstract In this paper, we discuss the insuring of flood losses across socio-economic environments, by pooling their risk exposures at continental and global levels. Grouping regions by their flood count over the last century, we cluster countries based on estimations of their value-at-risk, minimising the total value-at-risk from all clusters, as in Prettenthaler, Albrecher, Asadi, and Köberl (2017). Using heavy-tailed distributions to model the losses (presented as percentages of GDPs and adjusted to inflation), we seek an optimal risk pooling strategy across countries, irrespective of their socio-economic status. The financial benefits for such risk sharing, both at the continental and global levels, are quantified by the overall corresponding values-at-risk with or without pooling. We advocate this risk partner- ship across socio-economic environments, as a mechanism for reducing risk premiums and increasing efficiency in disaster response. Keywords: flood risk, risk pooling, value-at-risk, heavy-tailed distributions. a a Corresponding author (mailto:[email protected]) 71 DOI: 10.26360/2020_4 W.Ni, K. Henshaw, W. Zhu, J. Wang, M.
