Abstract

Human rights provide the rationale behind the functioning of the state, while at the same time imposing certain limits on its actions. How does Poland’s Constitution protect the rights of individuals, and what limitations come into play in the state–citizen relationship?

Abstract

On the one hand, mathematics draws inspiration from everyday life and has the ambition to model it through a precise logical system, while on the other, it contributes new, sometimes very abstract ideas which expand our imagination and broaden our understanding of the surrounding reality. This is clearly illustrated when we scrutinize various mathematical concepts centered around the notion of “boundary.”

Abstract

Orchids are a fascinating world unto themselves, featuring incredible diversity of species, myriad forms and dazzling colors. At the same time, orchids are among the least explored groups of plants, with much work left to be done on their careful classification and study. How should different orchid species be distinguished, and how should the boundaries between different genera be delineated?

Abstract

The boundaries of humanity are the ideas that trace out the very limits of what we call human, together with the attendant values, duties, and categories. To understand these better, we first need to scrutinize the two underlying concepts: the notion of boundary and the notion of a human being.

Abstract

This study aims to utilise Climate Hazards Group Infrared Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS) data and Standardised Precipitation Index (SPI) method to assess agricultural drought in West Papua, Indonesia. The data used in this study is monthly CHIRPS data acquired from 1996 to 2019, daily precipitation data recorded from 1996 to 2019 from the five climatological stations in West Papua, Indonesia located at Sorong, Fakfak, Kaimana, Manokwari, and South Manokwari. 3-month SPI or quarterly SPI are used to assess agricultural drought, i.e., SPI January–March, SPI February–April, SPI March-May, SPI April–June, SPI May–July, SPI June–August, SPI July–September, SPI August–October, SPI September–November, and SPI October–December. The results showed that in 2019 agricultural drought in West Papua was moderately wet to severely dry. The most severely dry occurred in September– December periods. Generally, CHIRPS data and SPI methods have an acceptable accuracy in generating drought information in West Papua with an accuracy of 53% compared with climate data analysis. Besides, the SPI from CHIRPS data processing has a moderate correlation with climate data analysis with an average R2 = 0.51.

Abstract

This work aimed to evaluate groundwater potability for the population through geochemical assessment methods on the example of aquifers in Krasnodar city. In 2016 and 2019, on the territory of Krasnodar city (Krasnodar region, Russian Federation), a detailed geochemical analysis of groundwater quality was performed based on a total of 6000 samples, 3000 samples per each year. Samples were taken from 30 wells located at depths of up to 450 m in the layers of Anthropogen and Neogene stages. Quantitative analysis of wells according to the average water quality parameters showed that in 15 wells, the water condition met the MAC (maximum allowable concentration) standards in all layers. Water abundance between the layers of the Quaternary and Cimmerian stages is seven times as different (p ≤ 0.001) towards the latter, the hardness between the same horizons is ten times as different (p ≤ 0.001) towards the Quaternary stage and three times as different (p ≤ 0.05) in terms of solid residue. Thus, the water hardness and water abundance index vary significantly between the vertical layers. A strong positive correlation between the solid residue and the hardness values (Pearson correlation 0.93, p ≤ 0.05), and a negative correlation between water abundance and solid residue values (Pearson correlation –0.83, p ≤ 0.05), as well as between the hardness and water abundance values (Pearson correlation –0.81, p ≤ 0.05) was recorded. These findings can be used for regions with similar deposits of rocks and aquifers.

Abstract

Knowledge of the quantity and quality of groundwater is a prerequisite to encourage investment in the development of a region and to consider the sedentarisation of populations. This work synthesises and analyses data concerning the chemical quality of the available water acquired in the Foum el Gueiss catchment area in the Aures massif. Two families of waters are observed, on the one hand, calcium and magnesian chlorated-sulphate waters and on the other hand, calcium and magnesium bicarbonate waters. Multivariate statistical treatments (Principal Component Analysis – PCA and Discriminant Analysis – DA) highlight a gradient of minerality of the waters from upstream to downstream, mainly attributed to the impact of climate, and pollution of agricultural origin rather localised in the lower zones. These differences in chemical composition make it possible to differentiate spring, well and borehole waters. The main confusion is between wells and boreholes, which is understandable because they are adjacent groundwater, rather in the lower part of the catchment area. The confusion matrix on the dataset shows a complete discrimination with a 100% success rate. There is a real difference between spring water and other samples, while the difference between wells and boreholes is smaller. The confusion matrix for the cross-validation (50%).
