Externalizing Migration Management Europe North America and the spread of 'remote control' practices

Externalizing Migration Management Europe North America and the spread of 'remote control' practices

The extension of border controls beyond a country’s territory to regulate the flows of migrants before they arrive has become a popular and highly controversial policy practice. Today remote control policies are more visible complex and widespread than ever before raising various ethical political and legal issues for the governments promoting them. The book examines the externalization of migration control from an interdisciplinary and comparative perspective focusing on ‘remote control’ initiatives in Europe and North America with contributions from the fields of politics sociology law geography anthropology and history. This book uses empirically rich analyses and compelling theoretical insights to trace the evolution of ‘remote control’ initiatives and assesses their impact and policy implications. It also explores competing theoretical models that might explain their emergence and diffusion. Individual chapters tackle some of the most puzzling questions underlying remote control policies such as the reasons why governments adopt these policies and what might be their impact on migrants and other actors involved. | Externalizing Migration Management Europe North America and the spread of 'remote control' practices

Fine Resolution Remote Sensing of Species in Terrestrial and Coastal Ecosystems

Fine Resolution Remote Sensing of Species in Terrestrial and Coastal Ecosystems

Detailed and accurate information on the spatial distribution of individual species over large spatial extents and over multiple time periods is critical for rapid response and effective management of environmental change. The twenty first century has witnessed a rapid development in both fine resolution sensors and statistical theories and techniques. These innovations hold great potential for improved accuracy of species mapping using remote sensing. Fine Resolution Remote Sensing of Species in Terrestrial and Coastal Ecosystems is a collection of eight cutting-edge studies of fine spatial resolution remote sensing including species mapping of biogenic and coral reefs seagrasses salt and freshwater marshes and grasslands. The studies illustrate the power of fine resolution imagery for species identification as well as the value of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) imagery as an ideal source of high-quality reference data at the species level. The studies also highlight the benefit of LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) data for species identification and how this varies depending on the species of interest as well as the nature of the context in which the species is found. The broad range of applications explored in the book demonstrates the major contribution of remote sensing to species-level terrestrial and coastal ecosystem studies as well as the potential for future advances. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Remote Sensing.

Remote Sensing of Night-time Light

Remote Sensing of Night-time Light

Satellite images acquired at night provide a visually arresting perspective of the Earth and the human activities that light up the otherwise mostly dark Earth. These night-time light satellite images can be compiled into a geospatial time series that represent an invaluable source of information for both the natural and social sciences. Night-time light remote sensing has been shown to be particularly useful for a range of natural science and social science applications including studies relating to urban development demography sociology fishing activity light pollution and the consequences of civil war. Key sensors for these time-series include the Defense Meteorological Satellite Program’s Operational Linescan System (DMSP/OLS) and the Suomi National Polar-orbiting Partnership Satellite’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite Day/Night Band (Suomi NPP/VIIRS DNB). An increasing number of alternative sources are also available including high spatial resolution and multispectral sensors. This book captures key methodological issues associated with pre-processing night-time light data documents state of the art analysis methods and explores a wide range of applications. Major sections focus on NPP/VIIRS DNB processing; inter-calibration between NPP/VIIRS and DMPS/OLS; applications associated with socio-economic activities applications in monitoring urbanization; and fishing activity monitoring.

Exploring What is Lost in the Online Undergraduate Experience A Philosophical Inquiry into the Meaning of Remote Learning

Exploring What is Lost in the Online Undergraduate Experience A Philosophical Inquiry into the Meaning of Remote Learning

This book examines the significance and meaning of undergraduate online learning using a hermeneutic phenomenological study asking what is lost when there is no face-to-face contact and exploring the essence of technology itself. Drawing on data from undergraduate students across various higher education institutions including both interview recordings and written reports of their lived experiences the author seeks to uncover the essence of the phenomenon by engaging with themes around the philosophy of technology and the purpose of post-secondary education using Heidegger’s essay The Question Concerning Technology as a crucial interpretive lens. Rather than offering generalized conclusions it presents a basis for further understanding of the experience of online learning and ultimately asks whether the efficiency afforded to undergraduates by online classes or degrees can ever replace what is learned in a classroom with other people. Providing a novel approach to the topic of online learning which centers the concept of experience and drawing links to current conditions and pedagogy in online higher education it will appeal to scholars working across education and philosophy with interests in higher education technology and education phenomenology of education and philosophy of education. | Exploring What is Lost in the Online Undergraduate Experience A Philosophical Inquiry into the Meaning of Remote Learning

Gangs and Youth Subcultures International Explorations

Gangs and Youth Subcultures International Explorations

Gangs are growing in many different social economic and political environments coupled with an alarming breakdown of public order. Failures to contain or reduce gang crime in European Asian South American African and North American cities may be symptoms of fundamental problems threatening the fabric of many societies. The spread of gangs to suburbia and remote locations is a palpable worldwide threat. But despite nearly a century of scholarly inquiry into street gangs and youth subcultures no single work systematically reflects on comparative international experiences with gangs. Gangs and Youth Subcultures takes up this challenge. Kayleen Hazlehurst and Cameron Hazlehurst argue that theories of gang behavior in immigrant communities and the influence of transnational crime syndicates are better tested in more than one host society. Similar phenomena would be better understood if placed in a comparative context. To this purpose the editors assembled expert scholars and policy advisers from North America Europe South Africa and Australasia. Gangs and Youth Subculture lays the groundwork for an explanation of why gangs continue to grow in strength and influence and why they have spread to remote locations. Kayleen Hazlehurst and Cameron Hazlehurst present new findings and innovative preventive strategies in a clear concise fashion. No other work brings together experts on gangs and youth subcultures from so many countries. As such this trailblazing book will interest scholars and teachers of criminology and sociology justice system administrators as well as law enforcement officers and youth workers internationally. | Gangs and Youth Subcultures International Explorations

Precision Agriculture for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

Precision Agriculture for Sustainability and Environmental Protection

Precision agriculture (PA) involves the application of technologies and agronomic principles to manage spatial and temporal variation associated with all aspects of agricultural production in order to improve crop performance and environmental quality. The focus of this book is to introduce a non-specialist audience to the the role of PA in food security environmental protection and sustainable use of natural resources as well as its economic benefits. The technologies covered include yield monitors and remote sensing and the key agronomic principles addressed are the optimal delivery of fertilizers water and pesticides to crops only when and where these are required. As a result it is shown that both food production and resource efficiency can be maximized without waste or damage to the environment such as can occur from excessive fertilizer or pesticide applications. The authors of necessity describe some technicalities about PA but the overall aim is to introduce readers who are unfamiliar with PA to this very broad subject and to demonstrate the potential impact of PA on the environment and economy. The book shows how farmers can place sustainability of the environment at the centre of their operations and that this is improved with the application of PA. The range of topics described includes sampling and mapping weed and pest control proximal and remote sensing spatio-temporal analysis for improving management management zones and water management. These are illustrated with case studies on sampling and mapping biofuels from sugar cane and maize paddy rice cultivation and cotton production.

Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast

Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast

The Communication Navigation and Surveillance (CNS) systems provide air traffic controllers with the information necessary to ensure the specified separation between aircraft and efficient management of airspace as well as assistance to flight crew for safe navigation. However the radar systems that support air traffic management (ATM) and in particular air traffic control (ATC) are at their operational limit. This is particularly acute in the provision of the ATC services in low altitude remote and oceanic areas. Limitations in the current surveillance systems include unavailability of services in oceanic and remote areas limited services during extreme weather conditions and outdated equipment with limited availability of spare parts to support system operation. These limitations have resulted in fatal accidents. This book addresses the limitations of radar to support ATC in various operational environments identified and verified by analysing five years of safety data from Avinor the Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP) in Norway. It derives a set of taxonomy and from this develops a causal model for incident/accident due to limitations in the surveillance system. The taxonomy provides a new method for ANSPs to categorize incidents while the causal model is useful for incident/accident investigations. The book also provides theoretical justifications for the use of Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) to overcome the limitations of radar systems and identify areas of improvements to enable seamless ATC services. Written in a style that makes it accessible to non-specialists Aircraft Surveillance Systems will be of interest to many in the field of aviation particularly ATM safety and accident/incident investigation. It will also offer a useful reference on this vital topic for air traffic management courses. | Aircraft Surveillance Systems Radar Limitations and the Advent of the Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast
