But the effects were not limited to the people. After compiling a new satellite-based data set, a team of scientists has published maps showing how Eastern Europe’s forests have changed over 27 years. “Forests generally recovered quickly,” noted Potapov. Across the study area, forest cover grew by 4.7 percent, increasing from 216 million hectares (533 million acres) in 1985 to 226 million hectares (558 million acres) in 2012. acquired 1985 - 2012 Timber harvesting was the primary cause of forest change, accounting for more than 90 percent.

Keskellä ja kaikkeen vaikuttavana on tahdonilmaus (violetti) eli päättäjän ääneen lausumat tavoitteet päätöksenteon vaikutuksille. Muut menetelmät ja käytännöt (punainen) ovat muistuttamassa, että päätöksenteon ja toimeenpanon osalta on tarkoitus toimia pääosin entiseen tapaan. Päätösvalmistelussakin monet hyvät nykykäytännöt jatkuvat, mutta Tekaisu-menetelmän tuomat muutokset painottuvat juuri sinne. Tämä sivu esittelee Tekaisu-hanketta.

Lecciones · El conocimiento <i>open source</i>. La apertura estratégica como arquitectura para la gestión del conocimiento By the dawn of the twenty-first century, new technologies transformed the way students learn, faculty member teach, scholars inquire, and librarians deliver research resources. (Hess y Ostrom, 2007:85) Este trabajo postula que los procesos de generación de ideas, conocimiento e innovación se enfrentan a un paradigma de apertura, intercambio y colaboración que se ha visto profundamente influenciado por las nuevas apropiaciones sociales de las tecnologías de información. El análisis se establece bajo los principios del "open innovation"(1) descritos por Chesbrough y otros (2006). El presente texto ha sido elaborado en un momento de la historia en que la masificación de las nuevas herramientas para generar y explotar tanto la información como el conocimiento, han adquirido una relevancia y visibilidad sustantiva. Resulta axiomática la conformación de nuevas pautas y metodologías que favorecen el "conocimiento socialmente distribuido".

The Undamming of America — NOVA Next Gordon Grant didn’t really get excited about the dam he blew up until the night a few weeks later when the rain came. It was October of 2007, and the concrete carnage of the former Marmot Dam had been cleared. A haphazard mound of earth was the only thing holding back the rising waters of the Sandy River. But not for long. Grant, a hydrologist with the U.S. Over 3 million miles of rivers and streams have been etched into the geology of the United States, and many of those rivers flow into and over somewhere between 80,000 and two million dams. Explore this interactive map of dams in the United States or search to find a dam close to you. Some of the names are charming: Lake O’ the Woods Dam, Boys & Girls Camp # 3 Dam, Little Nirvana Dam, Fawn Lake Dam. The names arose over the course of a long and tumultuous relationship.
