On the sides of a right-angled isosceles triangle, squares external to this triangle are built. The task is to construct a straight line on a plane that divides a figure consisting of these three squares into two equal-sized (that is, equal area) figures. Some parameters determined by this line are calculated, in particular, the areas of parts of the original squares in half-planes. The corresponding results are illustrated by various drawings, tables and graphs.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper are considered planar point sets generated by linear conditions, which are realized in rectangular or Manhattan metric. Linear conditions are those expressed by the finite sum of the products of distances by numerical coefficients. Finite sets of points and lines are considered as figures defining linear conditions. It has been shown that linear conditions can be defined relative to other planar figures: lines, polygons, etc. The design solutions of the following general geometric problem are considered: for a finite set of figures (points, line segments, polygons...) specified on a plane with a rectangular metric, which are in a common position, it is necessary to construct sets that satisfy any linear condition. The problems in which the given sets are point and segment ones have been considered in detail, and linear conditions are represented as a sum or as relations of distances. It is proved that solution result can be isolated points, broken lines, and areas on the plane. Sets of broken lines satisfying the given conditions form families of isolines for the given condition. An algorithm for building isoline families is presented. The algorithm is based on the Hanan lattice construction and the isolines behavior in each node and each sub-region of the lattice. For isoline families defined by conditions for relation of distances, some of their properties allowing accelerate their construction process are proved. As an example for application of the described theory, the problem of plane partition into regions corresponding to a given set of points, lines and other figures is considered. The problem is generalized problem of Voronoi diagram construction, and considered in general formulation. It means the next: 1) the problem is considered in rectangular metric; 2) all given points may be integrated in various figures – separate points, line segments, triangles, quadrangles etc.; 3) the Voronoi diagram’s property of proximity is changed for property of proportionality. Have been represented examples for plane partition into regions, determined by two-point sets.

Full textAbstract:
This paper aims at an efficient treatment of spatial data using qualitative representation. We propose a new framework called PLCA, which provides a symbolic representation for the figure in a two-dimensional plane, focusing on the connections between regions. It is based on four simple objects: points(P), lines(L), circuits(C) and areas(A). The entire figure is represented as a combination of these objects. Pairs of areas, circuits or lines never cross. The simple, clear data structure based on objects makes the system feasible and easy to implement. A PLCA expression can be subject to topological reasoning such as judging the connection patterns of areas. We define the operations of area integration and area division on a PLCA expression. These operations preserve the consistency of the expression, and correspond to real actions on the figures. We can add attributes to each object, such as the properties that hold on an area or that an object represents, and make an attributed PLCA. The operations of area integration/division on an attributed PLCA correspond to the alteration of the classification level of objects, and semantic spatial reasoning can be performed on an attributed PLCA.

Full textAbstract:
Instruction in the concept of area begins in elementary school and continues through college calculus. Students learn to apply formulas for certain plane figures and later, integration techniques. For figures that are not “nice” shapes or for “irregular” functions, students are taught approximation techniques, which range from counting squares in middle school to trigonometric approximations in high school and various methods of calculus. The purpose of this article is to offer the use of the Monte Carlo procedure on the microcomputer as an alternative tool for approximating areas. One of the introductory applications of the technique is to find the area of a circle, which permits us to approximate pi.

In this paper we present convergence concepts applications of numerical and functions sequences to a geometric problem which raised from an analysis using GeoGebra. This question involves the traces’s family of plane curves behavior, whose initial trace of the curve is given by a circle of radius k and the whose others, intuitively, approach to a square with side measuring 2k. A proof of this convergence is done, as well a demonstration that the areas bounded by the traces of the curves and their lengths converge, respectively, to the area and length of the boundary square. We also present a brief historical setting of convergence concepts and the ideas of infinity behind these concepts. In order to be developed to graduation level, this paper goes some way meet what historically was done to determine properties of curved figures through approximations by rectilinear figures.

Full textAbstract:
Austenite grains that underwent the f.c.c. to b.c.c. (or b.c.t.) transformation are typically composed of 24 Kurdjumov–Sachs variants that can be categorized by three axes of Bain transformations; thus, a complete transformation generally displays 3-fold symmetry in (001) pole figures. In the present work, crystallographic symmetry in 42CrMo4 steel austempered below martensite start temperature was investigated with the help of the orientation distribution function (ODF) analysis based on the FEG-SEM/EBSD technique. It is shown that, upon phase transformations, the specimens contained 6-fold symmetry in all (001), (011), and (111) pole figures of an ODF. The ODF analysis, verified by theoretical modeling, showed that under plane-strain conditions cracks prefer to propagate through areas strongly offset by the high symmetry. The origin of high symmetry was investigated, and the mechanism of the symmetry breakdown was explained.

Abstract In this paper I argue that sociology was a key discipline in producing relevant knowledge for managing and reimagining the socialist economic development in Romania. It played a central role in placing economic development at the subnational level, since much of the everyday economics unfolded at the level of the regions, which formed around the emerging cities. I analyse the birth of the ‘urban area’, an academic concept and a policy tool, as it was developed by Miron Constantinescu and his associate Henry H. Stahl. This was the main device that shifted economic growth to the subnational level and allowed the planners to regulate the economy as a set of inter-connected production chains. Sociology was disbanded as an academic discipline in 1948; nonetheless, through the figure of Miron Constantinescu, a key member of the Political Bureau between 1945-1957, it remained a central producer of knowledge through complex institutional arrangements, put in place in the 1950s. These institutions employed sociological figures from the inter-war sociological establishment. Their methodological skills and theoretical endeavours were put to work in applied research. I argue that some strategic developmentalist policies in socialist Romania were strongly shaped by the reworking in Marxist terms of certain key ideas of the Gustian school of a ‘sociology of the nation’.

The initial orientation has split into two equally strong symmetric orientations: (112)[111¯] and (112)[1¯1¯1]. Areas of identical orientation were band shaped and were called deformation bands. Up to 60% reduction, deformation occurs by slip on one plane (one from two possible) in two directions. This leads to the appearance of deformation bands with transition bands between them. Due to such deformation the initial orientation rotates around transverse direction towards the end-orientation {112}〈111〉. Due to rotation of the crystallographic lattice with deformation, the Taylor factor M changes as well, and it causes the activation of two not coplanar slip systems which stabilize the end-orientations {112}〈111〉. Such a sequence of the slip systems activation was concluded from the agreement of the calculated and experimental pole figures. The electron microscopy investigations showed that first shear bands formed due to the activation of these new slip systems.

Count rate of characteristic x ray changes with the incident condition of electron beames to a crystal. The phenomena is utilized by ALCHEMI to determine the positin of impurity atoms in unit cell. Ionization of atoms, which causes the emission of characteristic x ray, depends on localization of incident electrons. The present paper shows the relation between count rates of characteristic x ray and incident condition of electron beams.Experiment was performed by using JEM_4000EX electron microscope with TN-2000 EDX system. Specimen was prepared by cleaving SrTiO3 and observed from 110 direction. As shown in Fig. 1, 1ll-planes consist of two kinds of atomic planes, Sr-plane and Ti-plane, which are arranged alternatively. Figure 2 shows x-ray spectra of SrTiO3 illuminated by 200keV electrons in such an incident condition that 111-systematic reflections were excited, and particulaly in (a) symmetric incidence and in (b) 222-Bragg reflecting condition. Counts, NT i and Ns r, of characteristic x ray excited by Ti and Sr K-shell ionization respectively are obtained by measuring the areas under the corresponding peaks of the spectra.

EBSD is an analytical technique, which uses diffraction of backscattered electrons on the sample’s crystal lattice to determine the crystal structure and orientation. Point-by-point mapping of crystal orientation and misorientation, calculation of sub-grain boundaries angles and statistical processing of grain data allow identifying and displaying elastically and plastically deformed zones, textures. Orientation mapping and pole-and inverse pole figures allow to identify preferred slip planes and texture, however misorientation reveals areas where higher stress concentration appears, dislocation arrays and internal defects.

This was no picturesque semi-fairy story. The drunken gambling merry makers in Bethlehem, heedless of the awful wonder of that night, might easily have been figures in a Sophiatown street scene on Christmas eve…Later while Mary, Joseph and the Holy Child were still in the stable, two Roman soldiers descended upon them – a take off of African Police, complete with assegais and notebook, demanding to know their tribe, place of birth, and reason for being in Bethlehem…This description of a nativity play, complete with a send-up of the South African police, is one snapshot from the life of the Western Areas of Johannesburg. Others could include a large demonstration to back the wage demands of teachers and a home-grown police force. Such idiosyncratic and divergent portraits of community are the backdrop to this study. This article contends that, in their commitment to religion, education and law and order, the people of the Western Areas were deeply attached to respectability. The Western Areas was a cluster of townships – including the famous Sophiatown – which formed one of the most significant black centres of population in South Africa in the 1940s and 1950s. The removal of black people from the Western Areas between 1955 and 1962 constituted one of the most notorious acts of apartheid and ensured the district's place at the heart of protest against white domination. Consequently, to assert that respectability was essential to a working class district such as the Western Areas is to imply that it had a much wider significance.

Full textAbstract:
In the mid-1960s and early 1970s, David Hockney opted for a particular application of primer in the ground layers of some of his paintings — that is, a partial or ‘selective’ type of preparation. By selectively preparing certain areas with one or more layers of (gesso) priming, Hockney introduced a slightly higher and white pictorial plane in selected areas while retaining the properties of raw canvas in others. In one of Hockney’s most discussed paintings, Portrait of an Artist (Pool with Two Figures), for instance, selective preparation divided the surface and set the stage from the ground up. This paper examines the impact of this highly original and hybrid formula on perception by the viewer, focusing on how the eye registers the change in properties of the paint layer. It outlines Hockney’s investigation of the primed/unprimed opposition through the use of selective preparation, and the variety of effects it allowed him to achieve in one canvas. From its anecdotal use in 1960s road trip paintings to its more pronounced use in pool paintings in which Hockney used unprimed canvas to convey the ‘wetness’ of water, selective preparation was a device for him to compellingly increase contrasts and tension. Far from producing mere formal effects or serving solely as citations (of stain paintings for instance), the perceived technical oddity produces meaning. From the ground layers up, it deeply influences the perception, and thus the interpretation of the discussed paintings.

Full textAbstract:
The development of cities is below the target in reducing pollution and high population density. The environmental agency formulated the rules for the construction of spatial area-based balances of energy use-oxygen production-pollution for the new Building Code of Timisoara. Studies for households or traffic typically evaluate separately energy, oxygen production or pollution. In this research, we have developed a flow-funds model for conterminous residential building processes with spatial-temporal borders. We are modeling the integrated processes for energy-oxygen-pollution in 14 urban zones for households-buildings with segmentation of partial processes for energy-pollution and separately for oxygen flows. The segmentation is based on modeling of 338 streets at nano-levels as street segments. We have found a new solution for the boundaries in place of the 73 Territorial References Units in the in force Building Code. We made the distinction between area-point and in-process measurement. The modeling revealed that national energy-pollution balances did not integrate oxygen urban production which overestimates the CO2 reported figures. The daily intensity of carbon sequestration in the warm season for 14 zones in Timisoara varies between 0.21-0.70 grams per meter squared for residential areas. The different carbon sequestration intensity justifies differentiated measures to reduce the pollution in residential areas.

Four low-index surfaces; (A-surface), (0001) (basal surface), (R-surface), and of the α-Al203 single crystals were investigated by reflection electron microscopy (REM) and reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) techniques[1] and the characteristics of these surfaces are reported. Specimens were prepared by polishing and annealing[2, 3], Orientation of each surface was confirmed with x-ray diffraction using a Laue camera. Microscopy observation was carried out on a JEOL JEM-200CX TEM operated at 100 KV.To facilitate a fair comparison, the surface areas which were obviously affected by a macroscopic tilt, localized contamination, etc., were avoided. Only the flat, clean, and smooth areas were compared. The surface (Fig. 1. The scale in this figure also applies to all other figures.) shows large atomically flat areas divided by steps running in <000 1> and directions. The steps in this image are not of the same height. Some are one or two atoms high and others are much higher. Fig. 2 shows the surface which is periodically facetted. One type of the facets is flat and atomically smooth while the other type is rough. The (0001) planes display curved and/or straight steps[4]. An example of curved step configuration is shown in Fig. 3. Most of the steps in this image have the same height. This step configuration is similar to the surface shown in Fig. 4. However, the contrast of the steps are very different; on the (0001) surfaces the steps are much darker and well-defined. A summary of these four surfaces is presented in the table below.

A fractal is a figure that has a unique characteristic that will be present in the entire domain of the figure. There are several different types of fractals, some of which are constructed from a simple figure such as a triangle ofplane geometry or a tetrahedron of spatial geometry. From the initial construction of a two-dimensional fractal starting with an equilateral triangle and using Napoleon's Theorem, in this article, we present a construction of a new three-dimensional fractal using ideas similar to Napoleon's Theorem in a tetrahedron. Using concepts of plane and spatial geometry, this fractal can be built from a regular tetrahedron, and from the midpoints of its edges a new tetrahedron with a 1/2 ratio side is built in relation to the initial tetrahedron. After this construction, the characteristics of the infinite application fractal are studied, such as the sum of the surface areas and the total volume of the formed figure.

A Commitment to interdisciplinary dialogue should not mask the unwieldy complexity of “social science history,” this strange-sounding compound word invented to stress the equality of partners in their joint enterprise. Some of the benefits as well as the difficulties inherent in crossing disciplinary boundaries can be detected, from a historian’s point of view, in Theda Skocpol’s Vision and Method in Historical Sociology (1984) in which a group of young historical sociologists and two “sociologically acclimated social historians” reassess the work of major figures in the subfield of historical sociology. approached this book with considerable excitement, for at the time of its publication, I had just sent to press the manuscript of Reliving the Past (1985), a volume in which five historians of different regions of the world reappraise the use of social-scientific models in historical analysis, examine the ways in which these models are applicable to different geographic areas and take a fresh look at the place of social history within history. To add to my excitement, Charles Tilly, who contributed an essay on European social history to Reliving the Past, was one of the nine major figures whose work was examined in Vision and Method, a testament to the influential role this scholar has played in the two disciplines of sociology and history.

The modification of the main waste water treatment plant in Vienna will take place in accordance with the minimum efficiences laid down in the emission regulations as issued in 1991 by the Austrian Federal Office for Agriculture and Forestry. To meet these figures it is necessary to adapt the plant by 2001. The studies on several variants and the evaluation process showed a 2-step technology with partial by-passing of the 1st step to be the optimal solution. For this flexible system a new aeration tank volume of only 210,000 m3 is sufficient. Test-runs with a semi-commercial plant confirmed the correctness of all calculations. Possibilities for further modifications have been considered, e.g. dimensioning of all relevant hydraulic installations up to 24 m3/sec, final purification by sand or flocculant filtration and spare areas for measures after 2015.

We have spent the last several years investigating likely roles for neural network technology in the automatic active underwater sonar classifier development process, including exploration of both the improvement of in-service sonar systems and the creation of new ones. Currently, numerous classifier studies place emphasis on comparing class distinction performance figures of neural networks to those of traditional classifiers. We find that, for active sonar classifiers, this approach provides an incomplete and sometimes misleading assessment of the value of neural network technology. It is demonstrated that it is meaningful to divide the classifier development process into its phases and evaluate the influence that the neural network approach has on each phase. Conclusions are drawn on the potential impact of neural network technology on the active sonar classifier development field, which may help provide motivation for areas of future research.

Optic disc hypoplasia (ODH) is a non-progressive condition that can develop unilaterally or bilaterally, with decreased retinal nerve fiber count and normally developing retinal tissue. Decreased vision, visual field changes and defects in color vision mau be seen in individuals with ODH. A 3-year-old male pediatric case with ODH in the right eye was included in the study. The Canadian Model of Occupational Performance (CMOP) was used for the holistic evaluation of the individual, environmental and ocupational factors of the case, and the Visual Perception Reference Frame was used for the intervention application. The problem areas within the scope of CMOP were determined as difficulty in holding cutlery and therefore eating by spilling food, inability to distinguish small pictures on paper, weakness in perception of color and figure-ground, and weakness in gross motor skills (standing on one leg, jumping in place). The short-term goals in the 8-week intervention plan, development of visual discrimination (recognition, matching, classification) skills, development of color perception and figure perception, increasing the level of independence in eating with the help of auxiliary equipment (thickened cutlery); the long-term goals were determined as the development of figure-ground perception, the development of visual attention and the development of visual motor integration. With the target spesicif occupational therapy intervention program, the case was able to eat independently with the help of thickened cutlery, to be able to combine simple figures, large pieces and brightly colored puzzle pieces, to increase the time to stand on one leg, and to jump on two legs. There is a need for more evidence-based occupational therapy studies including visual perception studies in diagnoses affecting the visual field such as ODH.

Studying the history of private-public partnership is still relevant for the discussion on modernizing education. In the early 20th century, it was common practice to attract private capital to solve financial problems associated with the work of educational institutions in Russia, which opened the way for using new forms of organizing the educational process. The excursion method became a groundbreaking phenomenon in the pedagogical system. Studying the history of the application of this method in regional educational institutions is of interest from the perspective of modernization of the educational process and the development of educational tourism. The authors aimed to study the practice of using the excursion method in educational institutions of Tver and determine the role of the state and public figures in organizing excursions for students from outside of Russian metropolitan areas. The authors apply the local history method that allows them to link the processes that take place in the capitals and the regions in the interdisciplinary field and highlight the regional features of modernizing the education system. Unpublished archival records are used in the article. The novelty of the study consists in the reconstruction of educational regional tourist-excursive practices of the early 20th century in the case study of Tver. The authors identify the mechanisms of the private-public partnership in the solution of organizational and financial problems of arranging excursion trips.

Full textAbstract:
Supported small metallic particles (SMP) on zeolitic materials influence the catalytic properties of zeolites in several ways. Pt/ ZSM-5 containing 1.81 Pt in weight, were observed at high resolution conditions. The images of thin zeolite crystals were obtained and morphological and structural details were characterized. From the diffraction patterns some variations of the ratio c/a were found, caused possibly by local changes in Al concentration.The metal particles were found mostly distributed on the support crystalline phase as well as in areas presenting some structural defects; however the population of small metallic particles was greater in the crystalline zones. In addition, some contrast differences between particles seating on the same zeolite crystal were observed. These effects are attributed to different orientations for a given number of particles having the same diameter but different contrast (see figures 1a and 1b, particles A and B). Another interesting aspect, is the relative “transparency” of some particles such that crystalline planes of the zeolite (i.e. support) are visible trough the metal particle without any apparent perturbation of crystalline planes below them (see picture 3a).

Full textAbstract:
Development in coastal border areas is an important priority for addressing social and economic disparities and conflict through empowerment programs. The objective of the research is to analyze the empowerment as community learning based on ecotourism of coastal border. This research uses qualitative method in which Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and data collection is conducted through in-depth interview, observation, documentation analysis, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Participatory Decision Making (PDM). The research takes place in the border area of West Kalimantan namely Sebubus Village and Temajuk Village, Paloh Subdistrict, Sambas District. The informants are determined through purposive sampling consisting of empowerment activists, community leaders, village government, business groups, academics, and tourists. Data is analyzed using SWOT analysis. The results show (1) to develop ecotourism potential of mangrove forest and food processing from mangrove fruit, turtle breeding, and coastal tourism, a participatory and sustainable empowerment of community learning program is necessary. (2) Youth figures as community learning activists of ecotourism empowerment along with community leaders need support and cooperation from village and local government, as well as private parties. (3) Temajuk village in particular requires the improvement of road infrastructure, electrical lighting and telecommunication signals in order not to cause social and economic dependency and jealousy with Malaysian border areas.

Full textAbstract:
Empirical and theoretical studies suggest that human knowledge is partly based on innate concepts that are experience-independent. We can, therefore, consider concepts underlying our knowledge as being broadly divided into inherited and acquired ones. Using fMRI, we studied the brain reaction in 20 subjects to violation of face, space (inherited), and artifact (acquired) concepts by presenting them with deformed faces, impossible figures (i.e., impossible chairs), and deformed planes, respectively, as well as their normal counterparts. Violation of the inherited concepts of face and space led to significant activation in frontoparietal cortex, whereas artifacts did not, thus distinguishing neurologically between the two categories. Participants were further exposed to these deformities daily for 1 month to test the supposition that inherited concepts are not modifiable, hence that prolonged exposure would not change the brain circuits that are engaged when viewing them. Consistent with this supposition, our results showed no significant change in activation for both categories, suggesting that such concepts are stable at the neural level at least within a time frame of 1 month. Finally, we investigated the regions of the brain that are critical for object representation. Our results show distinct and overlapping areas in the ventral visual cortex for all three categories, with faces activating the ventral visual cortex inferiorly, especially centered on right fusiform gyrus, and chairs and planes activating more diffuse regions, overlapping with the superior part of face region and mainly located in middle occipital cortex and parietal areas.

Introduction. The Stalingrad region was founded on the 5th of December 1936. In 1939-1944 the territory and population of the region underwent changes. It included a number of areas of the Volga German ASSR and the Kalmyk ASSR eliminated in 1941-1943. The Astrakhan district was transformed into an independent region, the Germans and the Kalmyks were deported to the eastern regions of the country. Methods and materials. The author of the article uses statistical materials of the All-Union Population Census of the USSR of 1939 and the information and statistical reference book Stalingrad region (1939-1943). Figures and facts. A comparative historical method is widely used to reveal the peculiarities of the national composition of the population of the Stalingrad region and its neighboring regions, and to show the changes that took place in different areas of the region during 1939-1944. For the first time in research literature, 5 groups of rural areas of the region are distinguished. Analysis. The national composition of the population of Stalingrad, Astrakhan and rural areas of the region is investigated, and a comparison with neighboring regions is conducted. Representatives of more than 80 nationalities lived in the Stalingrad region, among them Russians (87.6 %), Ukrainians (3.6 %), Kazakhs (3.2 %), Tatars (2.8 %) and Germans (1.0 %) prevailed. Special attention is paid to the change in the territory and composition of the region’s population after the annexation of 7 areas of the eliminated Volga German ASSR in 1941 and 2 areas of the eliminated Kalmyk ASSR in 1944 and the deportation of Germans and Kalmyks to the eastern regions of the country. Results. The war led to a change in the national composition and a substantial reduction in the number of residents in the region. It took about 20 years to overcome the consequences of the war and deportation to restore the population of the Stalingrad region.

Full textAbstract:
Most Hungarian ecosystems are agro-ecosystems dominated by crops. In these agroecosystems small game has a secondary, but nevertheless very important role. On the one hand, the wild fauna figures are an indicator of the sustainability of a system. On the other hand, game management and hunting are traditional activities. Hunting can be regarded as a special kind of agriculture and small game management takes place on agricultural land, so more should be known about the connection between ecosystem components, such as climatic factors, crops and small game populations, for example that of hare. Data on the land use in Hungary were collected between 1960 and 2006. The area and yield of 30 field crops and various meteorological parameters were examined, as well as hare populations. The results suggest that in general the magnitude of crop areas had a stronger effect than the yield, while weather parameters had the weakest impact on the hare population.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTIn recent decades, Kinshasa and Brazzaville have given rise to movements of prophecy, messianic fervour and revival (Pentecostalist in nature) in the field of religion. The patterns of liberation and deliverance that can be discerned here reflect forms of identity politics in which Africanity, in the ethnic and national sense, is not only a major issue, but a component that is increasingly associated with armed conflict. These processes express a radical paradigm shift that we place within the context of the relationship between Africanity and religious pluralism that has become evident in these two religious areas in recent years. The term ‘Mboka Mundele’ (the village or country of the Whites) points to an experience of ‘colonial modernity’, and allows us to describe in objective terms the current urban context in which these ‘businessmen of God’ emerge. Fernando Kutino, Ntoumi, Yaucat Guendi and Ne Muanda Nsemi are four major politico-religious figures who embody an ideology of Africanity related to complex types of ‘magic’ and processes of pluralization.

Also included is a discussion of a Uyğur-origin Tibetan ‘report’ on the ‘Northern Peoples’. The article focuses on the Ashina-Türk grouping that became the founding and ruling clan of the Türk Qağanate. The shaping of the Ashina-Türk took place in a range of areas extending from the Chinese border zones of Gansu and Xinjiang to Mongolia and Southern Siberia. The Ashina-Türks appear to have been a ‘composite’ of peoples with a variety of ethno-linguistic affiliations. A lupine ancestor figures in most of the origin accounts.

Title: Study of Space Changing and Soundmark in Tamansari Heritage Tourism Area, Yogyakarta
Tamansari area is an area of historical value. Until now, this region has been conserved and used as a heritage tourism. The Tamansari site, which has not been used anymore since the reign of Sultan Hamengkubuwono III, has caused the growth of residential areas around it. This causes a change in the solid void of the Tamansari area. Changes in the existing building structure create differences in the soundscape of the area that was once the location of the palace retreat and is now a heritage tourism area. In this study will discuss the changes that occur in the mass management of buildings in the Tamansari area that will affect the environmental acoustics of the area. This research method uses qualitative deductive method by comparing the shape of the space during the active period of the building as the resting of the Keraton family with the current building mass discussed with the theory of space and acoustic environment. The results of this study are changes in ground figures and linkages showing changes in the soundmark of the Tamansari area. Changing ground figures make the impact of increasingly diverse activities appear. Soundmark changed from the dominant calm voice to the nois dominant. The soundmark area changes from sounds that support a sacred atmosphere with sounds that are due to building density. This change in soundmark creates a change of sense of place from the Tamansari area.

Full textAbstract:
<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> Urban areas are characterized by a complex topography of buildings, terrain, vegetation and temporary structures, which, depending on their extent, geometry, geographic location and daytime, cast shadow on their surroundings. Given the importance of sunlight for various groups of interest and tasks, we argue that a comprehensive, accessible, usable and intuitive way of predicting its availability for specific usage contexts is surprisingly lacking. In our research, we are investigating how to improve the visual communication of urban solar conditions for various real-world usage scenarios like having a coffee in the sun, parking a car in the shade, or taking a photograph of a particular building in a favorable light. All of these activities take place over a period of time, not in a temporal instant, causing solar shadows to move. Hence, a static representation of the light situation at a distinct point in time, such as offered by available 3D urban maps or GIS systems, is often not sufficient for planning above mentioned recreational or professional activities.</p><p>This factor is incorporated in our system by integrating shadow motion into a shadow map that covers arbitrary timeframes within a given day (Figure 1). Shadows are accumulated by projecting shadow maps from astronomically precise sun positions spanning over the defined timeframe. The number of sampling points directly influences the quality and speed of the rendering. All provided figures currently sample and integrate nine different sun positions.</p><p>Using our system, questions in a manner of “Given a specific point in space, at which time will this point be in sun/shade again” can be answered. E.g., one would like to spend time in the sun at a specific Viennese “Kaffeehaus” (coffee place), from which time on (and for how long) will this space be sunlit (Figure 2). In the future, this process might even be automated.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Background: Low contraceptive use among women in Niger is one of main causes of early childbearing and unwanted pregnancies, which affect maternal and child health. Education and place of residence have been cited as factors affecting modern contraceptive use. Methods: We investigated the separate and joint effects of the place of residence and education on the time to modern contraceptive uptake among women aged 15-24 in Niger. The study used data from the second round of the 2016 Niger Performance Monitoring and Accountability 2020 (PMA2020) project. Survival analysis was applied for 830 women. Results: Nelson-Aalen curves show that urban women had higher hazards of (and shorter delays in) modern contraceptive uptake as compared to their rural counterparts. Also, the higher the level of education, the higher the hazards of (and the shorter the delays in) modern contraceptive uptake. Findings from the multivariate (survival) analysis confirms these figures and provides the net effect of the place of residence on modern contraceptive uptake. Whether living in urban or rural areas of Niger, what matters more is the level of education. Conclusions: Family planning programmes concerning adolescent and young women should focus more on women with no education and those that are illiterate.

Full textAbstract:
Objective: The main objective of the tests conducted was to analyze the position variability of the human body’s center of gravity during propelling the wheelchair, and to demonstrate the properties enabling the description of this variability by means of plane figures with a symmetry axis. A secondary objective was to show the impact of the used manual propulsion type and the wheelchair inclination angle in relation to the plane on the dimensions of the position variability areas of the center of gravity. Method and materials: Three patients participated in the research representing 50 centiles of anthropometric dimensions. Each patient carried out fifteen measurement tests on three wheelchairs for three inclination angles of the wheelchair frame in relation to the level. Each measurement test consisted of five propulsion cycles for which the positions of the center of gravity were determined with the sampling frequency of 100 Hz. The measured positions of the center of gravity were approximated with ellipses containing 95.4% of the measurements conducted, assuming their dimension scaling basis in the form of the double value of standard deviation defined based on the registered results. Results: Based on the measurements conducted, the average values of five ellipses parameters were determined for nine cases in which a variable was the type of wheelchair propulsion and its inclination angle in relation to the level. The area of the highest variability of the position of the center of gravity was measured for the wheelchair with a multispeed transmission. The average dimensions of the ellipse semi-axis amounted to 108.53 mm for the semi-axis a and 29.75 for the semi-axis b, the average position of the ellipse center amounted to x = 114.51 mm and y = −10.53 mm, and the average inclination angle of the ellipse α amounted to −6.92°. The area of the lowest variability of the position of the center of gravity was measured for the wheelchair with a hybrid transmission. In this case, the average dimensions of the ellipse semi-axis amounted to 64.07 mm for the semi-axis a and 33.85 for the semi-axis b; whereas, the average position of the ellipse center amounted to x = 245.13 mm and y = −28.24 mm, and the average inclination angle of the ellipse α amounted to −0.56°.

Institutional and community participation is an important aspect being the main pillar in the implementation of the rehabilitation of mangroves. There is rarely any failure in the mangrove rehabilitation because it is not supported by the institutional role to its full potential. This research aimed to inventory the role of institutions and community participation in mangrove conservation in the coastal zone, Tiwoho Village, North Sulawesi Province. Selection of study areas and respondents done by purposive sampling. Data colected by field observation and structured interview with key respondents by using the snawball method. Research showed that some institutions has a major contribution in initiating mangrove conservation in Tiwoho are public figures, village government, NGOs, religious institutions, institutions of formal education, and foreign researcher. The form of community participation in conserving mangrove among others are not cut down of mangrove wood for any reason planting seeds every oportunity and keep mangrove from other community disturbances. Several method of management are expected to be inspiration for stakeholders to be able developed a mangrove forest management system in different place which have similar characteristics.

Geometry and measurement represent two of the nine content strands in the NCTM's Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (1989) and thirteen of the forty-nine objectives for grades 5-8. In addition, several other content strands have explicit connections to geometry. For example, some of the “patterns and functions” deal with geometric patterns, and some of the probability is in geometric settings. The Standards document describes a vision for the role of geometry and measurement that is different from, and larger than, the traditional role. No longer is it to be a “frills” topic relegated to the back of commonly used textbooks nor restricted to identifying figures and reciting a litany of their properties. Instead, geometry should encompass a variety of experiences in which middle schoolers create their own understanding of the relationships in our multidimensional world. Geometric models should be used to analyze, interpret, and solve problems from probability, algebra, and other areas of mathematics. That is, geometry should take a place among the major topics of emphasis in the mathematics study of a middle school student.

Full textAbstract:
Smoking trends and patterns in Italy were evaluated using data from the 1986-87 Italian National Health Survey, based on a sample of 30,096 males and 32,176 females aged 15 or over, randomly selected within strata of geographical areas and sizes of the place of residence and of the household in order to be representative of the whole Italian population: 40.8 % of Italian males and 17.3 % of females described themselves as current smokers (overall estimated prevalence, 28.6 %). In comparison with previous survey-based data, self-reported smoking prevalence in males has been steadily decreasing over the last three decades, whereas rates in females have been increasing up to the early 1980s, and have shown a levelling off only in more recent years. The apparent declines in self-reported smoking, however, were not reflected in official sales figures. In fact, in the mid 1980s, there were simultaneously the lowest overall prevalence of the last three decades and the highest sales figures ever reported. The inter-sex differences in smoking prevalence were smaller at younger ages. Education, but not occupation as a measure of social class, was inversely related to smoking prevalence in males. Furthermore, rates for males were lower in the northern (and richer) part of the country. The pattern was totally different in females, since smoking prevalence was higher in more educated women, of higher social class, living in North Italy. This suggests that, in the absence of adequate measures, smoking prevalence is likely to rise among Italian women in the near future. Continued monitoring of smoking patterns gives important information with which to identify the most likely future patterns in smoking and smoking-related diseases, besides providing data for targeting intervention programs.

The article investigates the concept “information” and its elements in the general creative activity conception of the French writer Bernard Werber through the analysis of his original work “The Encyclopedia of Relative and Absolute Knowledge”, each short story represents a narrative, a recommendation, a principle, a formula from various fields of popular science. It is pointed out that the author presents some scientific data in a simplified way, other facts are given in a purely professional one, thereby Bernard Werber demonstrates his own competence in the fields of history, mathematics, biology, astronomy, etc., as well as journalistic skills. It is stated that such diverse correlations exist due to the writer's passion for science and history, personal life experience in these areas, and all this ultimately stimulates readers' thinking, which is the main goal of Werber's creative activity. The article explores the correlative plane, which combines data from many branches of science in a historical context, that generally forms an informative complex containing the issues about the history of tribes and peoples (Maya, Aztecs, Arabs, Chinese, etc.), their legends and beliefs (Atlanteans, the origin of a man, pyramids, etc.), wars (episodes of individual military stalemate), religions (conflicts between paganism and Christianity, the Inquisition, etc.), technology and architecture (erection and structure of historical monuments, temples), the natural world (features of physiology) people, ants, dinosaurs), games (particularly about chess combining psychological and historical components). “The Encyclopedia of Relative and Absolute Knowledge” also includes the facts about many historical figures who have made significant contributions to the study and formation of the general noosphere. It is concluded that the writer by providing an array of diverse information in “The Encyclopedia of Relative and Absolute Knowledge” gets the reader not only to be a recipient of ready knowledge, but also to set up new tasks that need to be solved, and the main one among them is life mission understanding.

The research was conducted within the framework of the advanced study of research center of the armed forces of Ukraine «State Oceanarium» with the aim of determining the optimal location of open enclosures for marine mammals in coastal waters. In accordance with the requirements of operating leading documents, on maintenance marine mammals in the conditions of captivity, the open constructions of cages must take place in the clean natural waters, assuredly protected from storms, surf wave and influence of anthropogenic pollution. Undertaken studies the official figures given by the Hydrometeorological center of the Black and Azov seas (the State service of Ukraine for emergency situations) on the dynamics of air temperature and sea water, changes in weather conditions in coastal areas of the water area of Odessa Bay in recent years. In times of researches, in this district there were maximal increases of air temperature to 38.1 °C and sea water to 28.6 °C in summer, which exceeds possible norms for maintenance of dolphins in the conditions of open water areas. The largest decrease in air temperature in winter was recorded in January and February. Accordingly, the temperature of sea water went down and noted the appearance of floating ice shape. This fact is also very unfavorable, on condition of maintenance of marine mammals in the open waters in winter. This fact is also very unfavorable, under condition of marine mammals in the open waters in winter. Constructing open-air cages for marine animals must necessarily include a measure of the maximal strength of the wind and the main directions on the investigated areas. According to the obtained data, there is only seasonal maintenance of marine animals in open-air cages can be applied in the district of waters of the Odessa Bay. The alternative decision of this question can be the combined type of maintenance: moving of marine animals in the apartment of the covered pool with the natural cleared sea water, at the considerable decline of temperature of air and the formation of ice in winter or at disparity of sea water to the main sanitary and epidemiological requirements.

Introduction. Physical development of children is one of the important indicators of the health of the children's population. The state of physical development of the child to a certain extent is reflected in the vital activity of the child's body and is the basis for preventing the emergence of a number of pathological disorders.
The aim. Assessment of physical development and tooth decay in children living in environmentally unfavorable conditions.
Material and methods. 410 schoolchildren of 12 years old living on the territory of the Volyn region with different ecological problems were examined for the evaluation of dental health (HR) and physical development (FR). Anthropometric methods of investigation were used to assess physical development. The length of the body (in cm) and body weight (in kg) were determined. The analysis of the obtained results was carried out using nonparametric methods using the centenary tables [10]. The dental health level (HRD) was determined by the method of PA. Lewis [11]. The prevalence of dental caries was estimated as a percentage, caries intensity according to KPV indices in conventional units according to WHO criteria.
Results and discussion. A detailed analysis of the results showed that the data of physical development (DF) and dental health (SDS) (Table 1) were somewhat related to the place of residence of children and the environmental situation around. It has been found that SRH in children is lower in radioactive contaminated areas, namely in the settlements of Lyubeshiv and Manevich, and ranges from 53.10 ± 1.75% to -58.92 ± 1.62%. In technogenically polluted Novovolynsk, these figures are slightly higher (66.50 ± 1.39%) compared to radioactive contaminated areas. The highest level of SRH among all surveyed children was detected in Lutsk 76.24 ± 2.10%.
Conlusions. The dental health of children living in different ecological conditions is closely related to their physical development. It has been established that boys and girls living in conditionally clean areas are more likely to register average and above average growth rates.

Upon founding the dynasty, Gia Long upheld a politico-military on a vast territory with two administrative units of power ruling over the two areas now named the North and South of Vietnam respectively. Gia Dinh Citadel – the administrative unit ruling the South of Vietnam with a very important role in economy, national defense, and diplomacy – was headed by Le Van Duyet. In the first 30 years of the Nguyen Dynasty, along with the transfer of power from the Gia Long to the Minh Mang was the position assertion of Le Van Duyet in Gia Dinh Citadel, making him one of the most powerful figures. However, the transfer of the throne also marked the concentration of power into the hands of the central government ruled by the emperor; thus, leading to the elimination of administrative units upholding great power such as Gia Dinh Citadel. This process took place in a quite complex manner due to intrinsic problems revolving around the relationship between Minh Mang and Le Van Duyet – the relationship between a king and a high-ranking mandarin with great power. The paper describes the maneuver of political relations between the two characters in the 30 years of power concentration from a fresher point of view.

Full textAbstract:
In the late 1920s - 1930s, according to official figures, the Soviet Union significantly increased its volume of timber industry production. However, the statistics did not include the private harvesting and procurement of wood by the population, that is, for household consumption, which until about the mid-1930s and its almost complete cutback, reached impressive quantities. Historiography formed an incomplete picture of timber management in the Soviet Union during the modernization period, and part of the official indexes are still today used by researchers to prove a significant increase in the volume of timber production in the country during the late 1920s - 1930s. This has made currently very relevant the task of studying changes in the structure of forest management and of determining the country's place in the global timber industry using estimates of the total volume of forestry resources and the value of the gross output of the wood industry. The author reveals that in the first decades of the 20th century the most actively developed areas of forestry were logging and mechanical processing of wood, while the proportion of deep wood processing in the value structure of forest management has changed little and remained at a low level. The author identifies the principal systemic problems in the forest industry of the Soviet Union in the late 1920s - 1930s, which became the causes of imbalances in its structure. Additionally, the author conducted a comparative analysis of the indexes of the Soviet state and of other countries and regions - leaders in the global wood industry. The study's conclusions include the highlighting of the persistence of imbalances in the timber industry in the late 1920s - 1930s and the lagging of the Soviet Union from other countries - industry leaders in the most important areas of timber production.

This study intends to represent the importance of the cradle songs (lullabies) in the Albanian folklore. The stimulus to study this topic was the importance of the expression of feelings, thoughts, values, and the bond created between a mother and her child through these songs. This is the place and the moment where is created the melody of the soul which communicates the mother’s love to her child. We would like to point out some general characteristics of these songs and their resistance towards time and social changes. The language used in the verses of the lullabies used in this study is really simple, and there are not many figures of speech in them either. In these lullabies is expressed the mother’s desire for her child to be healthy, by comparing the baby to the dove, the brave men and the heroes. During the expeditions in different villages of Tirana, we found out that the habitants had forgotten almost completely these lullabies and we were only able to find these songs in the areas of Krraba and Vaqarr. In this study we have analyzed these lullabies in order to better understand their background and to reach some conclusions too. In our days the lullabies are disappearing because no body sings them any more. The social and cultural development, and also the progress of technology caused these songs to be forgotten.
