  • Neighborhood Emergency Networks in Uzhhorod, Ukraine and Corvallis Oregon, U.S.A.: Women's Neighborhood Network and Linn-Benton Neighborhood Emergency Training
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Naomi Weidner for the degree of Master of Arts in Applied Anthroolov presented on March 5. 2004. Title: Neighborhood Emergency Networks in Uzhhorod, Ukraine and Corvallis Oregon, U.S.A.: Women's Neighborhood Network and Linn-Benton Neighborhood Emergency Training Abstract appRedacted for privacy Roberta Hall This thesis examines two neighborhood emergency preparedness programs: the Linn-Benton Neighborhood Emergency Training(LB NET)program in Corvallis, Oregon, U.S.A., and the Women's Neighborhood Networking Program(WNNP)in Uzbhorod, Ukraine. In Corvallis, theLB NETbegan in 1996, in part out of concerns that in a large disaster the local emergency agencies would not be able to provide immediate service to all disaster victims. The program encourages the residents in neighborhoods to work together to become better prepared for natural or other disasters, and to be self- sufficient for 72 hours following an event. For this study I interviewed the organizers of 14 neighborhoods between October 2001 and February 2003. Oregon State University Office of International Research and Development used theLB NETas a model to develop a project in Uzhhorod funded by U.S. Department of State, Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs. TheWNNPwas funded for one year beginning in July 2000, with a one-year extension. The project included four trips from the U.S. to Uzhhorod: to conduct a needs assessment, participant selection and initial training;twoconsulting/mentoring trips; and for the project finale in April 2002. All project participants and two Ukrainian coordinators traveled to Corvallis for three weeks training in April 2001.

More specifically, METOIKOS studies the links between different types of circular migration and processes of integration (in the country of destination) and reintegration (in the source country) . It identifies the main challenges and opportunities involved in circular migration for source countries, destination countries and migrants (and their families) and develops new conceptual instruments for the analysis of circular migration and integration.

Where was the Magura Ocean. Acta Geologica Polonica, 65 (3), 319–344. Warszawa. In the Late Jurassic to Early Cretaceous palaeogeography of the Alpine Tethys the term Ocean is used for dif- ferent parts of these sedimentary areas: eg. Ligurian – Piedmont and Penninic, Magura, Pieniny, Valais and Ceahlau-Severins oceans. The Magura Ocean occupied the more northern position in the Alpine-Carpathian arc. During the Late Cretaceous–Paleogene tectono-sedimentary evolution the Magura Ocean was transformed into several (Magura, Dukla, Silesian, sub-Silesian and Skole) basins and intrabasinal source area ridges now in- corporated into the Outer Western Carpathians.

The field works to collect materials were held in three types of biotopes within the Berehove raion. The paper contains information on the most common species of muroid rodents within the studied area, which is a typical lowland region of Transcarpathia. The relative abundance and tendencies in the sex and age structure of populations are analyzed. The lengths of the body, tail, foot and auricle were measured to investigate the age- and sex-related variability of morphological features. The relative weight of physiologi- cally important organs such as heart, liver, kidneys and adrenal glands were defined with the aim to study the patterns of variability of morphophysiological indexes. All data were subjected to statistical analysis to obtain information on the variability of those parameters in different intrapopulation groups. In some species there were analyzed the age-related and seasonal variability of morphophysiological indicators in different intrapopu- lation groups, and also the interspecific variability of these parameters in order to study the effect of the envi- ronmental factors on the organism’s physiology.

We approximated the empirical frequency distribution of measured daily average wind speeds by means of theoretical distributions. The results of the fitting test showed that among the applied theoretical distributions, irrespective of orographic conditions, the Weibull distribution is proved to be the most suitable. However, fitting the Weibull distribution depends on the methods of determining parameters k and c. By means of the best fitting parameters, the distribution density function and some of its indices at the altitude of 80 m were worked out contrary to the anemometer altitude that is often the hub height of industrial wind turbines, thus estimating the wind conditions of the area from wind energy utilization point of view. Key-words: wind speed, wind speed distribution, distribution analysis, Weibull distribution, Transcarpathia 329 1.
