SITUATION UPDATE 25/10/2012 As of 25 October 2012, 228 human cases of West Nile fever have been reported in the EU and 547 cases in neighbouring countries. Since the last update, Greece has detected one new case from Pella, a prefecture with previous case reports. (For more information about human cases in Greece, see the Bulletin of the Hellenic Centre for Disease Control and Prevention.) In Italy, three new cases of West Nile fever have been reported from provinces with previous case reports (Treviso 1, Venezia 3). Two of these cases have been reported by the Veneto Region to the Ministry of Health, according to the Veneto Region Special Surveillance Program. (Additional information on West Nile fever is available from the Ministero della Salute and Epicentro) In neighbouring countries, the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia has reported a new case of West Nile fever from the province of Skopje, an area with previous case reports. The Russian Federation has reported the first case of West Nile in Stavropolskiy Kray. Tunisia has reported, through EpiSouth, seven new cases from the newly affected governorates of Jendouba and Mahdia (El Jem) and from new areas of Monastir governorate (Bembla, Monastir and Shaline).

Olive cultivation in Tunisia dates back to the 8th century BC, even before the founding of Carthage by Queen Dido. Phoenicians were the first introducing this crop to North Africa and especially to Tunisia. In Carthaginian period, olive cultivation started to spread on account of several advantages granted to olive-growers. Romans continued the expansion of olive -growing stepped-up irrigation, olive oil extraction technique. as evidenced by Excavations at Sufeitula (present-day Sbeitla) and Thysdrus (El Jem, territorially and administratively attached to Mahdia Governorate from where we introduce you «Zeten Bottled Extra Virgin Olive Oil») We hope you allow us introducing fo r you Bottled Tunisian Extra Virgin Olive Oil witch is obtained naturally at First Cold Extraction and witch labeled ZETEN.

Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Macedonia, Greece. Lecturer Dimitrios Oikonomidis: [email protected] 1. Location and physical background of the study areas Image processing software: ENVI 4.6. GIS software: ArcGIS 9.3. Two study areas have been selected (Figure 1): Lithological units and faults were digitized from the maps of IGME. After that, 1) Kassandra peninsula, in Halkidiki Prefecture, Macedonia Province, Northern Greece geological maps (simplified lithology and faults) and rose diagrammes were 2) Thassos island, in Kavala Prefecture, Macedonia Province, Northern Greece. constructed (Figures 2-3). Then, certain digital image processing was applied to the satellite images, so that lithological units and photo-lineaments could be extracted. Lithological maps and lineaments’ maps were also produced. Finally, rose-diagrammes were constructed for comparing tectonic data from geological maps and lineaments derived from satellite images. Figure 3. Faults’ rose-diagrammes (azimuth/total length per class): Kassandra peninsula (3a/left) and Thassos island (3b/right). 3. Landsat-7/ETM+ image processing A Landsat-7 ETM+ image contains both multispectral and panchromatic bands with different spatial resolutions (30m and 15m). For this reason, an image sharpening methodology (else called merging or fusion) had to be applied, so that all the bands would have the same pixel size and could be processed easier. There are numerous methodologies for this, such as Principal Components Analysis/PCA sharpening, IHS (or HSV) sharpening Figure 1.

  • Forest Fires Distribution in the Continental Area of Kavala
    JOURNAL OF Engineering Science and Journal of Engineering Science and Technology Review 9 (1) (2016) 99-102 estr Technology Review J Research Article www.jestr.org Forest Fires Distribution in the Continental Area of Kavala D Filiadis 1Forester MSc, Forest Service of Kavala, Terma Argirokastrou, GR-65404 Kavala, Greece Received 10 April 2016; Accepted 15 May 2016 ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Abstract The prefecture of Kavala has a long history of devastating forest fire events in both its continental part and Thasos Island. Forest fire records provide useful information on spatial and temporal distribution of forest fire events after statistical analysis. In this case study, the distribution of forest fires in the continental area of Kavala prefecture is presented for the period 2001-2014 through a series of simple-method statistics and charts/graphs. The number of forest fire events and burned area are presented on a month to month and annual basis. Burned forest area is categorized in three types (forest, shrub, meadow) according to Forest Services statistical records. Legislation changes on forest-shrub definition during the aforementioned period, could potentially affect the consistency of forest fire records. Thus spatial imagery was used for a more uniform interpretation of forest-shrub definitions on the forest fire spatial data. The most destructive wildfire years were 2013 and 2001, affected mainly by a respective single large forest fire event. On the opposite 2004, 2005 and 2010 were the least destructive years for the time period studied. Mediterranean type shrub lands were by far the most affected vegetation type that were also affected by the two single large wildfire event in 2001 and 2013.
