By promoting Indigenous tourism, [the] actions seek to create opportunities for Indigenous communities to share their stories and cultural heritage with a broader audience, while also generating economic benefits. This approach helps to address historical injustices by providing a platform for Indigenous voices and perspectives, while simultaneously encouraging mutual respect and understanding between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. Indigenous tourism also plays a crucial role in preserving and revitalizing traditional practices, languages, and art forms, contributing to cultural continuity and strengthening community pride. 2, record 1, English, - Indigenous%20tourism

A lognormal error is usually assumed in the traditional stock–recruitment(SR) analysis.... a positive bias results when [a] SR model with [a] lognormal error is used for fish recruitment prediction. Not only is this bias exponentially dependent on the structure of the model' s residual variance and the historical SR data, it is also dependent on the specific value of spawner biomass used.... a bias correction that is asymptotically unbiased with a finite-sample biasthat is practically zero [is then derived]. Data from two Pacific salmon populations, southeast Alaska pink salmon... and Chilko Lake sockeye salmon... are used to demonstrate this approach. The results show that the relative bias is about 10% for a spawning biomass within the historical range and that the bias is substantial outside that data range. However, with the proposed bias correction, the bias is negligible both within(<0. 1%) and outside of(<0. 3%) the data range. 2, record 3, English, - bias%20correction

Three-dimensional(3D) seismic surveys utilise 2D grids of seismic sources and receivers deployed on the ground surface. The seismic response of the ground is recorded as a time series corresponding to each source-receiver pair, and the wave propagation time becomes the third dimension of the data set.... If a 3D seismic survey is repeated at several time intervals, this historical time(as opposed to the wave propagation time) becomes a fourth dimension, hence the name 4D or time-lapse seismic. The 4D approach allows a detailed description of the evolution of the reservoir, but the overall cost of the survey escalates rapidly by repeating conventional 3D surveys. 4, record 6, English, - time%2Dlapse%20seismic

The following analysis examines the nature of the contemporary extreme right in Europe. It is argued that in most academic reviews the approach of the phenomenon has been based on historical, socio-economic, political and ideologico-cultural variables. Accordingly, the extreme right is seen as a) the revival of the fascist era; b) the by-product of post-industrial changes; c) protest politics and d) a xenophobic discourse. 1, record 9, English, - extreme%20right
