Coral reefs, commonly found in tropical coastal areas, are the world’s most complex marine ecosystems. But how do deeperwater corals differ from easier-to-study reefs in shallower waters?

To flee somewhere far away and then return, or to stay put and wait things out? That was the dilemma faced by small mammals during the last glacial period. Some made it – but how did they survive, and where?

According to many experts, the water crisis will be one of the most important challenges in the coming years on the planet. Watershed management is one of the most effective ways to conserve rainwater and develop water resources. The purpose of the study was to obtain a model of critical land management in the Welang watershed area. This study uses a dynamic systems approach based on a causal philosophy (cause and effect) through a deep understanding of how a system works. The parameters used are based on sustainable agriculture in terms of physical sustainability aspects/critical land from erosion factor indicators. Model validation is done by comparing the behaviour of the model with a natural system (quantitive behaviour pattern comparison), namely the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) Middle-Value Test. Modelling is supported by Powersim Studio Express Software ver. 10. The results show that the physical sustainability model/critical land using a simulation scenario of 25% erosion control funds shows a trend of increasing production land area and tackled land area followed by a decrease in annual erosion weight. The economic sustainability model obtained results at the end of the projected year showing farm revenues IDR 63,591,396 (USD1 ≈ IDR14.27 thous. in average in 2021). This means that the higher the acceptance value, the farming can provide economic welfare for farmers.

Rafy koralowe są najbardziej złożonymi ekosystemami morskimi, występują powszechne w tropikalnych strefach przybrzeżnych. Czy grozi im wyginięcie, tak jak to się stało w czasie wielkiego kryzysu 260 mln lat temu?

Dlaczego w Biblii niemal nie występuje słowo „czułość”? Czy można wobec tego powiedzieć cokolwiek o czułości Boga na podstawie Biblii? – odpowiada ks. prof. Tadeusz Dola, przewodniczący Komitetu Nauk Teologicznych Polskiej Akademii Nauk.
