| Year | 1867 | Publication |
Abbreviated Journal | ||
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Skyglow | ||||
| Abstract | Relevant excerpt: In large towns, the thousands of gas-lamps or other lights render the observation of the Zodiacal Light very difficult, not to say impossible, at all times. On the other hand, in stations conveniently situated, it can be seen at the various epochs of the year, even in the temperate zones. | ||||

| Keywords | Animals | ||||
| Abstract | Excerpt from Chapter 14, page 409 in the linked English translation: ...Therefore, at the time when the mallows blossom, when there is the greatest multitude of these butterflies, if a high brazen vessel, with a narrow neck like the mile-column, be placed in the evening among the bee-hives, and some light put down to the bottom of it, the butterflies gather together to it from all places; and, while they flutter about the small flame, they are scorched, because they can neither fly easily upward out of the narrow place, nor, on the other hand, can they retire at a greater distance from the fire, since they are surrounded by the sides of the brazen vessel: therefore they are consumed by the burning heat that is near them... |

| Title | Assessing Public Perceptions about Road Lighting in five Neighborhoods of Tirana, Albania | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2019 | Publication |
Abbreviated Journal | ||
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Public Safety; Psychology; Roadway lighting; Albania; Europe | ||||
| Abstract | Lighting is essential for sight, human health and well-being, emerging the need for assessing exterior lighting to better understand how far public is satisfied about exterior lighting. Exterior lighting was assessed in five major roads of the capital city of Tirana, Albania, in November 2017. Security, obstacle detection and visibility were evaluated using questionnaires for road lighting. The approximately 87 and 60 percent of respondents, respectively, were not able to detect a pavement obstacle after-dark and to distinguish a familiar face at a distance of 5 m and 10 m along roads. Road lighting after-dark was unsatisfactory to 60 percent of respondents. These findings identified road lighting could be inadequate for users, requiring further investigation and new data collection of road lighting in neighborhoods of Tirana. |
