  • A Season in the Olive Grove, Which Containing Chemicals

I want to counter these stereotypical images of the Middle East by showing through my films that even though in the Olive Grove precarity is part of life there, people’s everyday lives are much more than that.

However, urban point sources and agriculture still thrive as the main drivers of nitrogen and phosphorus pollution in European rivers. With this article we present a nationwide assessment of nitrogen and phosphorus loads that 18 large rivers in Greece receive with the purpose to assess variability among seasons, catchments, and river types and distinguish relationships between loads and land uses of the catchment. We employed an extensive dataset of 636 field measurements of nutrient concentrations and river discharges to calculate nitrogen and phosphorus loads. Descriptive statistics and a cluster analysis were conducted to identify commonalties and differences among catchments and seasons. In addition a network analysis was conducted and its modularity feature was used to detect commonalities among rivers and sampling sites with regard to their nutrient loads.

  • Idealization of the Power of Hispanic Elites Through the Representation of Hercules Mosaics
    Graeco-Latina Brunensia 26 / 2021 / 1 https://doi.org/10.5817/GLB2021-1-9 Idealization of the power of Hispanic elites through the representation of Hercules mosaics Diego Piay Augusto – Patricia Argüelles Álvarez (University of Oviedo; University of Salamanca) Abstract Hercules has been, without a doubt, one of the most revered mythological figures in the Gre- / ARTICLES ČLÁNKY co-Roman world since the emergence of accounts of his exploits. Courage, bravery, and phys- ical strength were some of the virtues associated with the hero, a reason which explains the adoption of his attributes in the official representations of emperors of the High Imperial era, such as Commodus, and the Low Imperial era, such as Maximian. The appeal radiated by the figure of Hercules also reached many Roman aristocrats, who held important public positions and spent their leisure time in retreat at their luxurious villae and domus. Evidence of this can be seen in the dissemination throughout the empire of mosaics with mythological represen- tations of the hero. In this work, we will review the mosaic representations of Hercules documented to date in the villae and domus spaces across the empire, to later focus on the Hispania case. Keywords Hercules; Roman villae; domus; mythification; Late Antiquity; Hispania 135 Diego Piay Augusto – Patricia Argüelles Álvarez Idealization of the power of Hispanic elites through the representation of Hercules mosaics Introduction: Hercules and the mythology Classic mythology has always played a leading role not only in ancient studies but also in later chronologies, even being present nowadays.

  • International Labour Migration to Europe's
    ‘The global pandemic has painfully shown how international labour migration is essential to Europe’s economy and food security. Indeed the role of migration in revitalizing rural communities in Europe and in keeping agriculture afloat cannot be overstated. This is a timely and much needed book that investigates the social and economic implications of international labour migration to Europe’s rural regions from both empirical and analytical perspectives.’ Anna Triandafyllidou, Ryerson University, Canada ‘This is book is a must-r ead for anyone interested in understanding the phenomenon of internal rural migration in Europe, its diversity of local practices and similarity in outcomes for social groups, rural industries and rural societies across and within countries in Europe. It is the combination of empirically rich, in- depth case studies that portray the human element of migration with discussions of their significance against the background of labour market and migration theories and the specificity of the rural context that makes the book so particularly insightful.’ Bettina Bock, Wageningen University and Research, Netherlands ‘In fourteen expertly- crafted chapters, this collection offers a historically- informed snapshot of the living and working conditions of people who migrate to rural areas of Europe and the US for agricultural work. Never flinching from sharp critical analysis of the racial capitalism that often seeks to divide workforces in order to weaken them, International Labour Migration to Europe’s Rural Regions also

    12-Day Archaeology Holidays in Greece COUNTRY: Greece LOCATION: Southern and central Greece DEPARTURES: 2020, every Saturday from April - October DURATION: 12 days PRICE: €1650p.p excluding flights, for double, triple, quad room or apartment. Professional archaeology guides €350p.p, Single supplement 240€. ACCOMMODATION: 3* hotel or apartments (depending on availability) TRANSPORTATION: Minibus/bus About this holiday This trip is not just a trip in Greece. It is a trip in the past, to the birthplace of science and the great growth of the arts.Taking this trip, you will travel 3500 years back in time, as you will visit some of the most important ancient Greek sites, including the Acropolis of Athens, Delphi and Meteora, and mainly in the area of Peloponnese: ancient Olympia, ancient Epidaurus (with its famous theater), Mycenae, Nafplio, Sparta, the hidden monasteries in Loussios gorge and ancient Tegea. It is a trip that seeks not only to offer information and knowledge, but also to stimulate the imagination by immersing the visitor in the very same environment that is described by ancient legends and histories. But there's more than that. Just like in all of our holidays, you will experience the true Greek way of living and we will try to introduce you the true Greece in a way that only locals can do. You will also have the chance to relax, to spend some time on famous Greek beaches, visit the Corinth Canal (and cross it by boat if you wish), and to observe some local winemaking and have the chance to taste the local wines.
