Digital Passages: Digital “This book analyzes data about the everyday digital lives of Moroccan- media Dutch youth gathered by a gifted researcher over many years. A rich and matters complex picture emerges, one that adds substantially to the existing scholarship on xenophobia, youth and social media, and identity. Strikingly interdisciplinary, humane, and fascinating research from a nuanced feminist perspective.” Lisa Nakamura, Gwendolyn Calvert Baker Collegiate Professor at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor “His methods allow us to see these young people as agents who make 2.0Migrant Youth decisions in their media use and production. Overall the extent, depth and scope of this project makes it a strong contribution to the study of youth cultures in global media contexts.” Radhika Gajjala, Professor of Media and Communication at Bowling Green State University “Nothing else has been published on these topics that can match the rigour and insight of Koen Leurs’ innovative book. Neither cheerleader nor nay sayer, he blasts apart every over simple assumption about social media in the everyday life of these marginalised and misunderstood young Dutch people. It should be read by everybody interested in the power of network technologies that have altered solidarity, place and belonging and are now transforming the meaning of culture itself.” Paul Gilroy, Professor of American and English Literature at King’s College London. koen leurs koen leurs is a Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Media and Communications, London School of Economics and Political Science.

  • Let's Go to MOROCCO
    Let’s go to MOROCCO UNIT 1 - SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER’S BOOK – FLASH CARDS – WORD STRIPS – INFO SHEETS - QUESTION CARDS -ACTIVITY BOOK Antonia García Gumiel – Llicència d’estudis B – 2007 MOROCCO’S UNIT SOCIAL STUDIES TEACHER’S BOOK Antonia García Gumiel – Llicència d’estudis B - 2007 TEACHER SUGGESTIONS As long as there are two different subjects involved : English Language and Social Studies and because there is a very specific goal : Intercultural awareness , the proposed methodology is related to the three of them. Nevertheless the present material has its own characteristics and may be convenient to describe some of them in order to make it useful. English Language use within a real context : the teacher should use it all throughout the lessons , adapting it to students level and making sure it is linguistically and cognitively appropiate . Highlighting key vocabulary and using supplementary material , like visual aids (flash cards, word strips, questin cards ) can facilitate the retention of vocabulary. Nevertheless the use of the Mother Tongue can be an effective metacognitive tool to occasionally clarify doubts or bridge information. Constant language revision including vocabulary and interrogative structures is necessary in order to link what students know with what is going to be studied . The same 20 questions will be practiced orally and in a written way all through every unit. Students’ role : this proposal is students centered . Because they are in charge of their own learning they have to assume some responsibilities and there is a specific strategy to promote it. We call it “ Travel agencies ” Antonia García Gumiel – Llicència d’estudis B – 2007 1 A new project like this needs the students be involved in to get the settled objectives.

(Green color) Countries 18–38 (varying definitions) Languages Middle East: Arabic, Aramaic, Azerbaijani, French, Greek, Hebrew, Kurdish, Persian, Somali, Turkish Greater Middle East: Arabic, Armenian, Azerbaijani, Balochi, Berber, Dari, French, Greek, Georgian, Hebrew, Kurdish, Pashto, Persian, Somali, Tigrinya, Turkish, Urdu Time Zones UTC +3:30 (Iran) to UTC +2:00 (Egypt) (traditional definition) Largest Cities In rank order: Istanbul, Cairo, Tehran, Baghdad, Riyadh, Jeddah, Ankara The Middle East[1] is a region that roughly encompasses Western Asia. The term is considered to be Eurocentric and used as a synonym for Near East, in opposition to Far East. The corresponding adjective is Middle-Eastern and the derived noun is Middle-Easterner. The largest ethnic group in the middle east are Arabs,[2] with Turks, Turkomans, Persians, Kurds, Azeris, Copts, Jews, Maronites, Assyro-Chaldeans, Circassians, Armenians, Druze and numerous other ethnic groups forming other significant populations. The history of the Middle East dates back to ancient times, and throughout its history, the Middle East has been a major center of world affairs. When discussing ancient history, however, the term Near East is more commonly used. The Middle East is also the historical origin of major religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam as well as the less common Baha'i faith, Mandaeism, Druze faith and others. The Middle East generally has an arid and hot climate, with several major rivers providing for irrigation to support agriculture in limited areas, especially in Mesopotamia and the rest of the Fertile Crescent. Many countries located around the Persian Gulf have large quantities of crude oil, which has resulted in much wealth particularly for nations in the Arabian peninsula.

The RIVM has analyzed the mathematical relations involved of some of the models being used in the Netherlands. With this information, the differences between model calculations as well as between models and experimental data can be understood in a better way. On locations with a lot of traffic the yearly average limit value for NO2 is exceeded regularly. In the Netherlands compliance with EU air quality regulations is usually checked using the results of model calculations. The models being used in the Netherlands calculate the NO2 concentrations in several ways. It is long known that different calculation schemes produce different results.

The Hoogheemraadschap van Rijnland (HHR), a Dutch Water Board, has decided to invest in the Langeraarse Plassen during WFD’s second cycle (2016-2021), in its effort to comply with the WFD and to improve water quality. On-going discussions regarding the implementation of the WFD in general, and the feasibility of cleaning up fen lakes in particular are frequent. This dissertation investigates the extent to which the historical water quality of the Langeraarse Plassen parallels the nationally formulated WFD reference condition for moderately large, shallow fen lakes (M27 water bodies), and HHR’s WFD policy objectives.

Downloaded from ORIGINAL ARTICLE Update of predictions of mortality from pleural mesothelioma in the Netherlands O Segura, A Burdorf, C Looman ............................................................................................................................. Occup Environ Med 2003;60:50–55 Aims: To predict the expected number of pleural mesothelioma deaths in the Netherlands from 2000 to 2028 and to study the effect of main uncertainties in the modelling technique. Methods: Through an age-period-cohort modelling technique, age specific mortality rates and cohort relative risks by year of birth were calculated from the mortality of pleural mesothelioma in 1969–98. Numbers of death for both sexes were predicted for 2000 to 2028, taking into account the most likely demographic development. In a sensitivity analysis the relative deviation of the future death toll and peak death number were studied under different birth cohort risk assumptions. Results: The age-cohort model on mortality 1969–98 among men showed the highest age specific death rates in the oldest age group (79 per 100 000 person-years in the age group 80–84 years) and See end of article for the highest relative risks for the birth cohorts of 1938–42 and 1943–47. Among men a small period authors’ affiliations effect was observed. The age-cohort model was considered the best model for predicting future mor- ....................... tality. The most plausible scenario predicts an increase in pleural mesothelioma mortality up to 490 Correspondence to: cases per year in men, with a total death toll close to 12 400 cases during 2000–28.
