One should also stress the important role of UNESCO in the changes taking place globally as shown for instance by the six regional conferences on higher education (Cartagena of the Indies, Macau, Dakar, New Delhi, Bucharest and Cairo) and the World Conferences of 1998 and 2009. Indeed, a flashback shows that the crisis that has been shaking up the African economies since the late 70s, got to its peak in the 80s (the lost decades) and has progressively led to the dilapidation and destabilization of the African university system, affecting research, especially in the area of social sciences. The Bologna Process, which was aimed at creating a European higher education and research space, integrating the parameter of mobility and competitiveness, ultimately went beyond its original place to impose itself, through the LMD or 3-5-8 system, at the African university level at a particular time in its history. The new geography that is taking shape in the North imposes, one way or another, challenges to the world of higher education and social science research in Africa.

The ATS-80 20-60x80mm HD Spotting Scope with Eyepiece (Angled Viewing) from Swarovski is a rugged yet refined scope from one of the world's most renowned optics manufacturers. The 80mm configuration is robust yet relatively lightweight, and is suited to a wide range of glassing needs, including those of long-range hunters and bird-watchers. Fluoride-containing, premium-glass lenses efficiently transmit all wavelengths of visible light for bright images that are color faithful, crisp, and rich with detail.

Coatings on all lenses minimize glare while maximizing contrast, phase-corrected prisms ensure that images are rendered with clarity, and field-flattener lens technology eliminates geometric optical distortion throughout the zoom range. And because life in the field can be messy, the SWAROCLEAN lens coating makes it easier to clean away dirt such as water marks, insect repellents, or tree resin. The included 20-60x eyepiece features a wide viewing angle and generous eye relief. The eyepiece quickly attaches to and detaches from the objective assembly's bayonet mount for easy disassembly, transportation, and storage. The nitrogen-purged, O-ring sealed, and rubber-armored housing ensure water, fog, and shockproof performance in almost any environment.

A removable sighting aid helps in target acquisition when a camera is mounted to the eyepiece. Rated 5 out of 5 by Ben from Impressive Optics I bought this scope to bird watch on the recommendation of a professional bird guide. I was looking for optics that would be light, compact, provide a bright image, with resolution that would reveal fine feather detail. This scope provides all of that and more.

Ideally one software application would understand how to program all radios, but nothing like that is available yet. Also, the Icom software is relatively primitive because you can't cut and paste lots of data at once. You also need a 'programming cable' to go between your computer and the radio.

IC 208H Programming Software By KG5FBR posted May 8th 2018, 5:58 AM CHIRP now supports IC 208H programming, and I found it quite a bit better than this program.

I first purchased the 65mm scope but returned it for the 80mm and am not sorry (an exchange that was easily accomplished through B&H). The 80mm is noticeably brighter and provides slightly higher resolution at the higher powers with minimal weight and bulk. I have been impressed with both the brightness and the resolution of this scope. Because of the weather, I have used it to watch birds through a double-paned storm door. Even with that, I have been blown away by the fine feather detail I am able to see.

I look forward to the views I will get outside without the intervening window glass. The focus is smooth, convenient, easy to use, and is fast. The sunshade extends easily and yet is firm enough to stay in place. The green rubber body armor seems durable and is attractive. The zoom eyepiece works smoothly. The tethered eyepiece cover is also a nice touch.

Also, the angled viewing is convenient and comfortable. The spotting device on the side of the scope makes it easy to find an object.

In short, I would recommend this scope without reservation!
