Protecting Geographical Indications in Africa - Nora Ho Tu Nam - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Protecting Geographical Indications in Africa - Nora Ho Tu Nam - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Home to emerging economies, a growing middle class, and the world''s youngest population, Africa presents exciting opportunities for high-value products, including products bearing a geographical indication (GI). A GI is a sign used on products that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities or a reputation due to that origin.From a niche topic of interest to a billion-dollar industry, GIs now command centre stage in the field of intellectual property (IP). This is no doubt due to the myriad of benefits associated with GIs, from price premiums to the development of rural areas; the revitalization of agricultural communities; and the expansion of tourism. It is hardly surprising that many stakeholders in the GI value chain, both from within and outside the continent, show a keen interest in protecting and enforcing GIs. In Africa, producer associations, governments, regulatory authorities, and the judiciary are however limited by the lack of clear information on how best to protect and enforce GIs. This book responds to the need for comprehensive information and practical advice on GIs in Africa. The first part of the book explores the economic and social opportunities offered by GIs, the legal framework within which African states operate at the international and continental level, and the mechanisms available to protect GIs. The authors adopt an Africa-centric approach, using real-life African examples. They propose a balanced discussion around GIs, remaining mindful of African interests and commitments. The second part of the book provides a detailed overview of the laws and regulations regarding GIs in the two main regional IP organizations in Africa--the African Intellectual Property Organization (Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle, ''OAPI'') and the African Regional Intellectual Property Organization (ARIPO)--as well as in eleven African states: Algeria, Angola, Botswana, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mauritius, Morocco, Nigeria, and South Africa.The structure adopted by the authors allows readers to look up the factual background of the relevant jurisdiction, its legal framework, the applicable registration procedures, and enforcement mechanisms. The book guides experienced readers and newcomers through the topic of GIs in Africa.

Principles of Geographical Information Systems - Christopher D. (department Of Geography And Planning Lloyd - Bog - Oxford University Press -

Principles of Geographical Information Systems - Christopher D. (department Of Geography And Planning Lloyd - Bog - Oxford University Press -

Geographical data are used in so many aspects of our lives today, ranging from disaster relief operations through to finding directions on our mobile phones. We can all be data collectors, adding locational information as we capture digitally our day-to-day experiences. Geographical Information Systems (GIS) are the software tools that facilitate this, turning the raw data into useful information that can help us understand our worlds better.Principles of Geographical Information Systems presents a thorough overview of the subject, exploring both the theoretical basis of GIS, and their use in practice. It explains how data on the world are converted into digital form and the analytical capabilities used to bring understanding to a range of areas of interest and issues. Spatial data are usually based on two, dichotomous paradigms: exactly defined entities in space, such as land parcels and urban structures, or the continuous variation of single attributes, such as temperature or rainfall. The adoption of one or the other influences how the geographical data are structured in the GIS and the types of analysis possible. A further area of focus in the book concerns the problems of data quality and how statistical errors in spatial data can affect the results of spatial modelling based on the two paradigms of space. Fuzzy logic and continuous classification methods are presented as methods for linking the two spatial paradigms. The book concludes with an overview of current developments and trends in providing spatial data to an ever-expanding global community of users.

Integrating Geographic Information Systems and Agent-Based Modeling Techniques for Simulatin Social and Ecological Processes - H. Randy Gimblett - Bog

Integrating Geographic Information Systems and Agent-Based Modeling Techniques for Simulatin Social and Ecological Processes - H. Randy Gimblett - Bog

For those addressing ecological and natural resource management problems this volume presents a set of coherent, cross-referenced perspectives on incorporating the spatial representation and analytical power of GIS with agent-based modeling of evolutionary and non-linear processes and phenomena. Many recent advances in software algorithms for incorporating geographic data in modeling social and ecological behaviors and also the success in applying such algorithms have not been adequately written about This book fills that gap and provides much needed information on applications for the research community as well as those in the management of natural resources.

Forest Ecology and Conservation - Adrian Newton - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Forest Ecology and Conservation - Adrian Newton - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Forest conservation has become one of the most important environmental issues currently facing humanity, as a result of widespread deforestation and forest degradation. Pressures on remaining natural forests continue to intensify, leading to high rates of biodiversity loss. Understanding how human activities influence ecological processes within forests is essential for developing effective conservation action. This book describes research methods and techniques relevant to understanding forest ecology, with a particular focus on those that are relevant to practical conservation and sustainable forest management. This information is currently disparate and difficult to locate and, as with other books in this series, the intention is to provide a comprehensive synthesis for use by graduate students, researchers and practising conservationists. Methods are presented for assessing forest extent and condition, structure and composition, and forest dynamics at a variety of scales. Techniques for assessing genetic variation and reproductive ecology, and for evaluating the habitat value of forests are also described. Particular emphasis is given to state-of-the-art techniques such as remote sensing, GIS, computer modelling and molecular markers. However, traditional methods of forest mensuration and ecological survey are also presented. The methods and techniques described are generally applicable to all forest types, including both temperate and tropical forest ecosystems.

From World War to Cold War - David Reynolds - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

From World War to Cold War - David Reynolds - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The 1940s was probably the most dramatic and decisive decade of the 20th century. This volume explores the Second World War and the origins of the Cold War from the vantage point of two of the great powers of that era, Britain and the USA, and of their wartime leaders, Churchill and Roosevelt. It also looks at their chequered relations with Stalin and at how the Grand Alliance crumbled into an undesired Cold War. But this is not simply a story of top-level diplomacy. David Reynolds explores the social and cultural implications of the wartime Anglo-American alliance, particularly the impact of nearly three million GIs on British life, and reflects more generally on the importance of cultural issues in the study of international history.This book persistently challenges popular stereotypes - for instance on Churchill in 1940 or his Iron Curtain speech. It probes cliches such as ''the special relationship'' and even ''the Second World War''. And it offers new views of the familiar, such as the Fall of France in 1940 or Franklin Roosevelt as ''the wheelchair president''. Incisive and readable, written by a leading international historian, these essays encourage us to rethink our understanding of this momentous period in world history.

Spatial Analysis in Epidemiology - David J. Rogers - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Spatial Analysis in Epidemiology - David J. Rogers - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book provides a practical, comprehensive and up-to-date overview of the use of spatial statistics in epidemiology - the study of the incidence and distribution of diseases. Used appropriately, spatial analytical methods in conjunction with GIS and remotely sensed data can provide significant insights into the biological patterns and processes that underlie disease transmission. In turn, these can be used to understand and predict disease prevalence. This user-friendly text brings together the specialised and widely-dispersed literature on spatial analysis to make these methodological tools accessible to epidemiologists for the first time. With its focus is on application rather than theory, Spatial Analysis in Epidemiology includes a wide range of examples taken from both medical (human) and veterinary (animal) disciplines, and describes both infectious diseases and non-infectious conditions. Furthermore, it provides worked examples of methodologies using a single data set from the same disease example throughout, and is structured to follow the logical sequence of description of spatial data, visualisation, exploration, modelling and decision support. This accessible text is aimed at graduate students and researchers dealing with spatial data in the fields of epidemiology (both medical and veterinary), ecology, zoology and parasitology, environmental science, geography and statistics.

Demographic Methods across the Tree of Life - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Demographic Methods across the Tree of Life - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Demography is everywhere in our lives: from birth to death. Indeed, the universal currencies of survival, development, reproduction, and recruitment shape the performance of all species, from microbes to humans. The number of techniques for demographic data acquisition and analyses across the entire tree of life (microbes, fungi, plants, and animals) has drastically increased in recent decades. These developments have been partially facilitated by the advent of technologies such as GIS and drones, as well as analytical methods including Bayesian statistics and high-throughput molecular analyses. However, despite the universality of demography and the significant research potential that could emerge from unifying: (i) questions across taxa, (ii) data collection protocols, and (iii) analytical tools, demographic methods to date have remained taxonomically siloed and methodologically disintegrated. This is the first book to attempt a truly unified approach to demography and population ecology in order to address a wide range of questions in ecology, evolution, and conservation biology across the entire spectrum of life.This novel book provides the reader with the fundamentals of data collection, model construction, analyses, and interpretation across a wide repertoire of demographic techniques and protocols. It introduces the novice demographer to a broad range of demographic methods, including abundance-based models, life tables, matrix population models, integral projection models, integrated population models, individual based models, and more. Through the careful integration of data collection methods, analytical approaches, and applications, clearly guided throughout with fully reproducible R scripts, the book provides an up-to-date and authoritative overview of the most popular and effective demographic tools. Demographic Methods across the Tree of Life is aimed at graduate students and professional researchers in the fields of demography, ecology, animal behaviour, genetics, evolutionary biology, mathematical biology, and wildlife management.
