Here we show that the elastic flexure dynamics of the uplifting southern shoulder of the rapidly-extending, asymmetric Corinth Rift (Greece) are recorded in 3D by its fluvial network. We explore the evolution of the mechanical flexure of the lithosphere at rift full length by means of DEM-based river profile analysis of a series

  • The Fortifications of Arkadian Poleis in the Classical and Hellenistic Periods
    THE FORTIFICATIONS OF ARKADIAN POLEIS IN THE CLASSICAL AND HELLENISTIC PERIODS by Matthew Peter Maher BA, The University of Western Ontario, 2002 BA, The University of Western Ontario, 2005 MA, The University of British Columbia, 2007 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Classics) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) March 2012 © Matthew Peter Maher, 2012 Abstract This study comprises a comprehensive and detailed account of the historical development of Greek military architecture and defensive planning specifically in Arkadia in the Classical and Hellenistic periods. It aims to resolve several problems, not least of all, to fill the large gap in our knowledge of both Arkadian fortifications and the archaeology record on the individual site level. After establishing that the Arkadian settlements in question were indeed poleis, and reviewing all previous scholarship on the sites, the fortification circuit of each polis is explored through the local history, the geographical/topographical setting, the architectural components of the fortifications themselves, and finally, the overall defensive planning inherent in their construction. Based an understanding of all of these factors, including historical probability, a chronology of construction for each site is provided. The synthesis made possible by the data gathered from the published literature and collected during the field reconnaissance of every site, has confirmed a number of interesting and noteworthy regionally specific patterns. Related to chronology, it is significant that there is no evidence for fortified poleis in Arkadia during the Archaic period, and when the poleis were eventually fortified in the Classical period, the fact that most appeared in the early fourth century BCE, strategically distributed in limited geographic areas, suggests that the larger defensive concerns of the Arkadian League were a factor.

  • Enyc General Asembly Kiato, Greece 16
    ENYC GENERAL ASEMBLY KIATO, GREECE 16 - 19 January 2020 New centers for Europe‟s young people Many countries have developed youth centers for their own young people. Most of these serve particular neighborhoods or particular groups of young people. Some may have a regional or national role. Some have an inter- cultural or international character. All can play a part in giving young people a greater sense of being European, and world, citizens. Such youth centers can simulate a harmonious Europe so that one day it will exist. A youth centre which consciously promotes intercultural and international understanding has a number of key features: It uses participatory methods and non-formal learning; It deliberately engages in international and intercultural exchange and learning; It promotes awareness and encourages the development of Europe’s diverse cultural identities; It shares the Council of Europe’s values of universal human rights and pluralist democracy; It seeks solutions to such problems as xenophobia and racism. The Council of Europe‟s main goals for young people are: To encourage young people to play an active role in strengthening civil society in Europe To promote and develop youth policies in Europe, with special emphasis on youth participation The Council of Europe has set the following priorities in the youth sector The promotion of intercultural dialogue and peace Human rights education and the promotion of human dignity and social cohesion Participation and democratic citizenship Support in defining and developing
