Abstract The paper presents analysis results concerning changes in the range of areas of surface and transitional retention, here corresponding with wetlands, in two small lake catchments in the western part of West Polesie. The cartometric research was performed on maps covering the period from the 19th to the early 21st century. The analyses were referred to the modern state of investigation recorded on orthophotomaps in data bases disclosed in Geoportal Krajowy and in the Google Earth Pro application. Lake surface retention showed no substantial changes, and the differences result from the scale of maps used in the study, and therefore from the degree of detail of the presented objects. In the catchment of Lake Czarne Gościnieckie it occupied from 13.61 to 15.64% of its area, and in the catchment of Lake Brzeziczno from 0.96 to 1.28%. The greatest discrepancies in the area of wetlands result from the cartographic method of presentation, and generalisation of maps. In the catchment of Lake Czarne Gościnieckie, areas of transitional retention could be identified on 11 out of 13 maps, and in the catchment of Lake Brzeziczno on 12. In the case of the former catchment, transitional retention occupies from 17.35 to 34.00% of its area, and in the catchment of Brzeziczno from 4.81 to 24.00%. Such different surface areas of wetlands measured on maps, however, do not signify evident tendencies for change. Over the last 200 years, no substantial changes occurred in the studied catchments regarding the range of surface waters and wetlands, as confirmed by field research conducted in the years 2006-2012. The quantity and quality of maps and the variability of their scales encourage a careful interpretation of obtained information. In such a case, it is necessary to supplement cartographic analyses with investigating procedures of map preparation, and also to collect written documents concerning the entire area.

ABSTRACT This research is motivated by the circulation and use of narcotics in adolescents which are still rife in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. This study aims to determine the effectiveness of prevention of drug abuse in adolescents in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency. The method used in this study is a qualitative method. Data collection techniques are done through in-depth interviews and documentation studies. The theory used in this study is the theory of open systems according to Richard M Steers, namely effectiveness can be seen based on three dimensions, namely input, process and output. Based on the results of field research shows that the input, process and output has not been effective. The conclusion of this research is that the effectiveness of prevention of narcotics abuse in adolescents in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency (study at the National Narcotics Agency Ogan komering Ilir Regency) has not been effectively implemented. This research suggests that the effectiveness of preventing narcotics abuse among adolescents (a study at the National Narcotics Agency of Ogan Komering Ilir) can run well and effectively: (1) There needs to be communication and cooperation between BNNK OKI and the Regency Government, Police and Related Agencies to help resources in the prevention of narcotics, (2) socialization activities or counselling on the dangers of anti-drugs must be increased, and (3) prioritizing the use of traditional media.

The accuracy of the Qibla direction at the Baitul Makmur Great Mosque in West Aceh cannot tolerate. The reason is that the value of deviation is so high that it does not face ainul ka'bah or even jihatul ka'bah. This Qiblah direction is not by the minimum limit of tolerance for the variation of the Qibla direction and is not by the Islamic legal status. This study examines the causes of the inaccuracy of the Qibla of the Great Mosque of Baitul Makmur Meulaboh West Aceh, namely the lack of role of figures and efforts to maintain the architecture of the mosque building. This research belongs to qualitative field research, by verifying the direction of the Qiblah with the rashdul qibla method and google earth observation to explore causes of inaccuracy. Interview techniques are also used to obtain in-depth field data. The analysis technique used is descriptive analysis. This study indicates that the inaccuracy of the Qibla direction of the Baitul Makmur Great Mosque in West Aceh is inseparable from the minor role of religious figures and leaders at the beginning of the Mosque's construction. Until now, the direction of the Mosque's Qiblah is still parallel to the mihrab. Renovations were also not carried out because of maintaining the architecture of the mosque building. Renovation of the mosque building to calibrate the Qibla direction would reduce the aesthetics of the mosque building.


The article presents the results of the study of horizontal riverbed deformations of the Sukil river in the area from the town of Bolekhiv to its confluence with the Svicha river during 1880–2019. The studied section of the riverbed is located within the Precarpathian height and is marked by significant dynamics of the riverbed, which is mainly due to frequent floods, including catastrophic ones. The analysis of long-term horizontal riverbed deformations of the Sukil river and identification of the main factors of their manifestation were carried out in three stages. The first stage involved an assessment of the riverbed displacement over a long-term period of tens of years and was performed based on topographic maps of 1880, 1929-1939, and 1990. The second stage focused on the analysis of the riverbed displacement during a short-term period of 5-7 years and was conducted on the basis of Google Earth satellite images of 2006, 2011, and 2017–2019. The third stage was dedicated to the verification of the obtained results by field research and to the identification of the main reasons for the development of horizontal riverbed deformations. The analysis of historical maps and satellite images was mainly conducted by cartographic methods using ArcGIS 10.1. The riverbed of the Sukil river has significant differences in the development of horizontal deformations on the section of Bolekhiv – the village of Podorozhnie (the mouth of the river). According to the type of manifestation and scale of the riverbed deformations development, two sections (hereinafter dynamic sections) with significant horizontal deformations have been identified: the first one – from Bolekhiv to the village of Lysovychi; the second one – from the village of Lysovychi to the village of Podorozhnie (the Sukil mouth). On dynamic section 1, the horizontal deformations are differently manifested depending on the type of the riverbed. The maximum displacements which were found on the meandering sections are approximately 340 m. They were recorded during the period of 1880–1939. On the sections with a “transitional” type of riverbeds (in the late 19th-early 20th century they were braided, and now they are single channel), the deformations are small (up to 60 m) and are manifested mainly within the boundaries of the riverbed. On dynamic section 2, the Sukil riverbed is meandering and the deformations are much larger. The maximum riverbed displacements reach approximately 500 m (during the period of 1880–1939). For dynamic section 2 as well as for the whole section of the Sukil riverbed from Bolekhiv to the mouth, a certain tendency of the riverbed changes on the plan has been revealed. Thus, from 1889 to 1990 we observe a decrease in the meandering of the riverbed caused by anthropogenic influence, in particular, by the straightening of the riverbed in the 70-80s of the last century and by change in the position of the mouth; since 1990, a natural increase in the Sukil riverbed’s meandering has been observed. Key words: horizontal deformations; riverbed types; Sukil; meandering; historical maps; remote sensing.

Mechanism of scour in front of breakwaters by standing waves in two and three dimensions has been studied theoretically and experimentally to clarify the experimental conditions by which the prototype behavior could be best reproduced in laboratory. The phenomenal reproduction of scour in laboratory is satisfactory if some conditions on the characteristics of waves and bed materials are fulfilled. This enables experimental approach to find out the optimum protection methods against scour in front of breakwaters.

High-precision mass measurement equipment is required in some areas of science and technology. Physics, chemistry, pharmaceutics and high precision mechanics are common examples. In metrology, high-precision scales are used for verification and calibration of lower precision mass measurement equipment (weights and scales). Mass comparators are the most accurate mass measurement instruments available today. It is a special type of electronic scales designed to compare mass of two weights. They can be automatic or manual, with various measurement ranges and accuracy classes. This article discusses principles of operation of mass comparators and practice of high-precision mass measurement. There are special computer programs that can be used in conjunction with these instruments, which may significantly improve measurement accuracy (when mass comparator is controlled remotely) as well as simplify calculations and reporting procedures. This article describes one of these programs – ScalesNet32 – which can be used with mass comparators produced by Sartorius (Germany).

A justiça curricular, com suas  três dimensões - conhecimento, convivência e cuidado -, define que o currículo atenda a todas as necessidades dos envolvidos e os forme como pessoas solidárias e corresponsáveis na construção de uma sociedade mais justa. Assim sendo, o objetivo deste artigo, recorte de uma pesquisa de doutorado, foi identificar, na realidade das escolas do campo do município de Humaitá, Amazonas, os limites e as possibilidades no atendimento às crianças da região, tendo como parâmetro a dimensão do cuidado na busca da justiça curricular. A pesquisa participativa, utilizando-se de pesquisa de campo, análise documental, entrevistas, momentos de reflexão-ação e de escuta sensível (Barbier, 2007), com gestores, professores, merendeiras, pais e alunos, em sua fase exploratória, resultou no levantamento das dificuldades encontradas pelos participantes quanto ao atendimento da Educação do Campo: calendário escolar, transporte e merenda escolar. Os resultados apontam para a grande distância entre o que está escrito e a prática curricular, levando à injustiça curricular. Faz-se necessário, assim, refletir sobre a concepção da justiça curricular, em especial a dimensão do cuidado, pois um ambiente democrático e acolhedor das diferenças ajuda a garantir e a consolidar a formação solidária e modificar o processo de construção do conhecimento. Palavras-chave: Justiça Curricular, Cuidado, Escolas do Campo.   Reflections on the dimension of care in the search for curricular justice in the field schools of the municipality of Humaitá (AM)                ABSTRACT. Curricular justice, with its three dimensions - knowledge, coexistence and care -, defines that the curriculum meets all the needs of those involved and educates them as supportive and co-responsible people in the construction of a more just society. Therefore, the objective of this paper, a cutoff of a doctoral research, was to identify, in the reality of the field schools of the municipality of Humaitá, Amazonas, the limits and the possibilities in the care of the children of the region, having as parameter the dimension of care in the pursuit of curricular justice. Participatory research, using field research, documentary analysis, interviews, moments of reflection-action and sensitive listening (Barbier, 2007), with managers, teachers, school cooks, parents and students, in their exploratory phase, resulted in the survey of the difficulties encountered by the participants regarding the attendance of Rural Education: school calendar, transportation and school meals. The results point to the great distance between what is written and the curricular practice, leading to curricular injustice. It is therefore necessary to reflect on the conception of curricular justice, especially the dimension of care, since a democratic and welcoming environment of differences helps to guarantee and consolidate solidarity education and modify the process of knowledge construction. Keywords: Curricular Justice, Care, Rural Schools.   Reflexiones sobre la dimensión del cuidado en la búsqueda de la justicia curricular de las escuelas unitarias del municipio de Humaitá (Amazonas, Brasil) RESUMEN. La justicia curricular, con sus tres dimensiones - conocimiento, convivencia y cuidado -, define que el currículo atienda a todas las necesidades de los involucrados y los forme como personas solidarias y corresponsables en la construcción de una sociedad más equitativa. El objetivo de este artículo, el cual es un recorte de una investigación llevada durante el doctorado, fue identificar, en la realidad de las escuelas unitarias del municipio de Humaitá, Amazonas, los límites y las posibilidades en la atención a los niños de la región, teniendo como parámetro la dimensión del cuidado en la búsqueda de la igualdad curricular. En este estudio se utilizó una metodología investigación participativa, llevada a cabo mediante el trabajo de campo, el análisis documental, las entrevistas, los momentos de reflexión-acción y de la escucha sensible (Barbier, 2007), con gestores, profesores, monitores del comedor escolar, padres y alumnos, en su fase exploratoria, resultó en el levantamiento de las dificultades encontradas por los participantes en cuanto a la atención de la Educación del Campo: calendario escolar, transporte y merienda escolar. Los resultados apuntan a la gran distancia entre lo que está escrito y la práctica curricular, obteniendo como resultado lo que se denomina como injusticia curricular. Este hecho, hace que sea necesario reflexionar sobre la concepción de dicha justicia curricular, en especial la dimensión del cuidado, debido a que un ambiente democrático y acogedor de las diferencias ayuda a garantizar y consolidar la formación solidaria y modificar el proceso de construcción del proceso de enseñanza aprendizaje. Palabras clave: Justicia Curricular, Cuidado, Escuelas Rurales.

Abstract Computer programs for simulating fire development in a multi-room building complements the experimental approach and/or post-fire on-site investigations. A variety of computer calculations can help to validate or deny a suggested fire scenario and witness statements. Thus they help to discriminate between alternative fire scenarios by evaluating the consequences and comparing them with observations. In this way computer simulation helps to rule in or rule out the suggested ignition and spread of the fire.
