Among several priorities, the objective number two strives to “establish an improved indicator framework for cultural tourism impacts on sustainability and resilience and link these to an improved Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) model“. Within the work package (WP) 4, several tasks dedicated to the fulfilment of this objective have been outlined. This report reflects on Task 4.1. Identification of the indicators related to the basic concepts defined in WP2. To deliver our conclusions, a systematic review of relevant literature, related to the concepts of sustainability, resilience and cultural tourism has been conducted. Particular reference was paid to the indicators most often used to measure these concepts. Additionally, the Report contains a review of the Tourism Area Life Cycle (TALC) - related literature. The conclusions of the TALC analysis will have an important role in the delivery of further tasks within this WP. With regard to each analysed concept, a proposal of the prospective methodology to be used in the Deliverable D4.2 is given, with the aim to create Sustainability-Resilience- TALC framework for cultural tourism destinations. The report contains four sections, including the introduction; the methodology section – outlining the process of systematic review; the analysis section – delivering the overview of indicators related to fundamental concepts and guidelines for the selection of relevant indicators, including the conclusion after each part of the analysis, pointing out main findings; and reference section. At the end of the report there is also an Annex containing tables with elaborated sources of literature retained after primary selection based on relevant data bases. 5 D 4.1 – Report on the most appropriate indicators related to the basic concepts Contents C Copyright and Reprint Permissions ......................................................................................................... 2 Abstract ................................................................................................................................................. 5 Contents ................................................................................................................................................ 6 Introduction ........................................................................................................................................... 7 Methodology ....................................................................................................................................... 8 Analysis................................................................................................................................................ 9 3.1.

With that regard, the project focuses on (1) development of new and/or upgrading of the definitions of previously mentioned key concepts; (2) identification and testing of a framework of sustainability and resilience indicators (SRT Framework) and a Decision Support System (DSS) for measuring and monitoring cultural tourism and its impacts; (3) testing and presenting innovative and creative tools for stakeholder engagement in sustainable cultural tourism development. Given the primary goal of this project, several objectives have been outlined, including the objective No. 2 striving to “establish an improved indicator framework for cultural tourism impacts on sustainability and resilience and link these to an improved Tourism Area Life

  • Assessing Contamination Risks Associated with Dust Soil Composted
    Assessing Contamination Risk of Dust, Soil, Compost, Compost Amended Soil and Irrigation Water as Vehicles of Pathogen Contamination on Iceberg Lettuce Surfaces Sadhana Ravishankar and Govindaraj Dev Kumar School of Animal & Comparative Biomedical Sciences, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721 Project Report Submitted to the Arizona Iceberg Lettuce Research Council, 2014 1 Introduction The contamination of fresh produce by foodborne pathogens results in 9.5 million illnesses in the United States annually, causing $39 billion in medical losses (Schraff 2010). Iceberg lettuce and similar leafy greens are usually consumed raw with minimal processing or heat treatment. Hence, there is an increased risk of pathogen transmission from contaminated product. Fresh fruit and produce could be contaminated by spoilage or pathogenic microorganisms during pre-harvest and post-harvest procedures (Brandl, 2006). It has also been indicated that the produce might become contaminated during production in the field or in the packing house (Brandl, 2006; Lynch, Tauxe, & Hedberg, 2009). There has been an increase in produce related outbreaks in recent years. Animals are the primary hosts of Salmonella enterica and the pathogen possesses genes to invade, survive host cells and resist immune defense mechanisms (Wallis & Galyov, 2000). Salmonella also has genes that confer fitness in non-host environments. The application of soil amended with manure produced by food animals could introduce foodborne pathogens in the farm environment (Hutchison, Walters, Moore, Crookes, & Avery, 2004). Several studies have demonstrated the persistence of Salmonella in the farm environment. The pathogen was detected in dairy farms, piggeries and slaughterhouse facilities both before and after slaughter (Baloda, Christensen, & Trajcevska, 2001; Hurd, McKean, Griffith, Wesley, & Rostagno, 2002; Millemann, Gaubert, Remy, & Colmin, 2000).

Developing a com- prehensive defense mechanism against such attacks requires a comprehensive understanding of the problem and the techniques that have been used thus far in preventing, detecting, and responding to various such attacks. In this thesis, we dig into the problem of DDoS flooding attacks from four directions: (1) We study the origin of these attacks, their variations, and various existing defense mecha- nisms against them.
