Abstract Over the years, a substantial body of knowledge has emerged to analyse water–tourism nexus, shifting from setting agendas problem-solving approaches, while highlighting importance involving stakeholders in effective governance. In this respect, Hydrosocial Cycle approach demonstrated its effectiveness assessing human-nature dimension water resources by examining roles and narratives stakeholders, as well asymmetrical power dynamics influencing decision-making processes. This study...
Abstract. Large-sample datasets containing hydrometeorological time series and catchment attributes for hundreds of catchments in a country, many them known as “CAMELS” (Catchment Attributes MEteorology Studies), have revolutionized hydrological modelling enabled comparative analyses. The Caravan dataset is compilation several (CAMELS other) large-sample with uniform attribute names data structures. This simplifies hydrology across regions, continents, or the globe. However, use instead...
The water–tourism nexus requires better knowledge, management and governance to address environmental societal challenges. This review takes stock of the approaches used this in Mediterranean from 2000 2020. Bibliometric exploratory content analysis targeted tourism impacts on water supply, determinants consumption, water-saving mechanisms technologies. A fundamental insight is that literature remains rather centric technical, paying little attention behavioural change stakeholder action....
Abstract. The setup of a rainfall-runoff model in river section where no streamflow measurements are available for its calibration is one the key research activities Prediction Ungauged Basins (PUB): order to do so it possible estimate parameters based on hydrometric information region. informative content dataset (i.e. which and how many gauged stations available) plays an essential role assessment best regionalisation method. This study analyses performances approaches influenced by...

The combined effect of evaporation and transpiration plays a key role in the water balance for hydrological modelling at catchment scale. However, direct measurement these processes is very challenging, formula typically used to estimate potential evapo-transpiration (PET), i.e. maximum rate leaving atmosphere ideal conditions.Many rainfall-runoff models take PET as input, improving quality data can directly enhance performance model.Moreover, crucial factor characterize behavior find...
The study of the occurrence abrupt hydrological extremes changes, and in particular shift from extended dry periods to flood events is interest for stakeholders dealing with operational management environmental hazards. In fact, when floods occur during or soon after drought periods, early warning systems can become inaccurate water practices may fall short reducing risk both (e.g. Fowler et al., 2020; Ward 2020).In this study, we take advantage hydrometeorological time-series more...
Snow water resources play a crucial role in Mediterranean mountainous regions, serving as natural reservoirs that sustain supply during dry seasons. The accurate estimation of Water Equivalent (SWE) is fundamental for resource management, though direct measurements remain sparse terrain. Current SWE approaches face distinct challenges: instance, large-scale reanalysis products derived from land-surface models (such ERA5-Land) are limited by data assimilation mountain observations, the coarse...
The hotel industry, the largest water consumer in mass tourist destinations, has developed many water-saving measures over past decades to alleviate scarcity Mediterranean coastal regions, where balance is delicate and threatened by climate change. In this context, non-widespread actions arise. However, a research gap exists regarding guests’ perceptions of them, which may affect their success viability. This study explores based on 850 face-to-face surveys carried out destinations Benidorm...
Transnational and psychometrically appropriate versions of instruments used in the diagnosis dementia are essential for comparing information between different countries. The Cambridge Examination Mental Disorders Elderly incorporates a brief neuropsychological test battery, Cognitive (recently revised version), which provides objective data on performance across number cognitive domains.To harmonise seven European countries.40 patients with probable or possible Alzheimer's disease each...
A validation study was planned to assess, by comparing the performance of a group suspected demented (i.e. scoring less than 27 in Mini Mental State Examination, MMSE) and control normal aged subjects, (a) whether Cambridge Disorders Elderly Examination (CAMDEX) interview maintains Italian version characteristics sensitivity specificity established English one (b) concurrent validity CAMDEX (with respect psychometric tests such as MMSE, Geriatric Depression Scale Extended Dementia Scale, is...
The present study compares the sensitivity and specificity of short full forms Cambridge Examination for Mental Disorders Elderly (CAMDEX) interview in diagnosing dementia. We tested 73 subjects meeting DSM-HIR criteria dementia 61 matched controls. version was applied 3 months after one to guarantee a relative stability functions. Referred an independent clinical rating made at beginning study, levels were not significantly different two fully comparable with those original English version....
Abstract. The Mangrove Vegetation Index (MVI) was developed to map mangroves extent from remotely-sensed imageries accurately and quickly. MVI measures the probability of a pixel be ‘mangrove’ by extracting greenness moisture information green, NIR, SWIR bands. range values may vary depending on factors such as land cover classes, climatic conditions, or tidal conditions. Mapping scope mangrove sites involves setting maximum minimum threshold separate them other classes vegetation. Although...
The sensitivity and specificity of the two forms CAMDEX interview for dementia diagnosis were assessed in a 1-year follow-up study. At beginning study, 60 patients (22 males 38 females) who met DSM-IV criteria matched controls (15 45 females), administered short form (short CAMDEX) 3 months after full one (full CAMDEX). follow-up, all both (again with 3-month interval), whereas either (in any case, at 12-month interval from initial testing). Upon testing, CAMCOG proved to be significantly...
The question of what makes two catchments hydrologically similar is fundamental importance for the understanding catchment hydrology and transferring hydrological information from gauged to ungauged catchments. In regionalisation rainfall-runoff model parameters, definition a similarity measure identifying donors basins as function characteristics an essential step most consolidated techniques. As demonstrated by very large number studies in literature, conducted all around world, main...
