Aim of the study: Rising and falling atmospheric pressure usually heralds changes in weather conditions such as temperature, air humidity, cloud cover, precipitation, and wind speed. The work presents variation in atmospheric pressure in Siedlce from 2001 to 2022. The objective of the present work is to analyse the diurnal variation in atmospheric pressure, as well as the amplitude of fluctuations and trends. Material and methods: Daily atmospheric pressure values were obtained from a meteorological station of the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management (IMGW). Diurnal changes in atmospheric pressure causing different levels of strain on the human body, ranging from weak to very strong, were identified. For each month, the number of days with specific diurnal pressure changes was calculated. The trend in monthly pressure changes was determined based on linear regression equations. Results and conclusions: The average annual atmospheric pressure at sea level in Siedlce was 1016 hPa, the lowest and highest recorded pressure values being, respectively, 928 hPa on 25th March, 2016, and 1051 hPa on 23rd January 2006. The difference between the highest and lowest pressure values in a given month was the greatest in January and February (40 hPa), it being the lowest in August (17 hPa). The summer months of July and August, classified as weak stimulus days, exhibited the greatest diurnal variation in atmospheric pressure, while December and January were very strong stimulus days, showed the highest variation. Monthly atmospheric pressure values in Siedlce displayed no substantial tendency for changes during the study period.

Aim of the study: The development of land relations in Ukraine on the way to European integration requires the identification of all interested parties involved in the management of land resources and nature use. Since all existing directions of land use, as one of the main components of natural resources, can have an impact on the current state of the environment, land management is considered as a component of general environmental management. Material and methods: The identification of stakeholders can be carried out in the following stages: analysis of the interests of interested parties in land management and environmental management; analysis of powers and interests of subjects of land management; analysis of rights and responsibilities of stakeholders in matters of sustainable land use and environmental protection. Based on the generally accepted understanding of the concept of stakeholders, they include not only those natural and legal persons who have a basic interest in land use issues, but also those whose activities can potentially affect the process of land and environmental management itself and its results for society. Results and conclusions: Six main groups of stakeholders have been identified, which in our opinion have the greatest interest and influence on land and environmental management, have the greatest interest and leverage in Ukraine, namely Executive Authorities, Local Self-Government Bodies, Land Owners, Land Users, Investors, Non-Governmental Organizations and Population. The stakeholders included in each of the main groups are defined, their powers, legal rights are outlined, and the main manifestations of the economic, environmental and social interests of these groups of stakeholders are defined.

Aim of the study: The paper presents the results of testing the compressive strength, frost resistance and shear strength of stabilized fine-grained soil depending on the added hydraulic binder and the time and method of curing. Material and methods: The tests were performed for a coarse silt collected in Boczkowice (Małopolskie Voivodship). The stabilizer used in the tests was Terramix F22.5, added in the amount of 3, 5 and 8% in relation to the dry mass of skeleton. The tests were carried out on samples immediately after stabilization, after 7 and 28 days of treatment with water and after 7 and 28 days with freezing and thawing cycles, as well as for samples without the addition of a stabilizer. Results and conclusions: On the basis of the conducted tests, it was found that the binder content used as well as the length and method of sample curing influence the improvement of geotechnical parameters. Both the compressive and shear strength of the tested soil samples depend on the method of sample care, as well as the value of the binder addition. The method of sample curing had the greatest influence on the compressive strength of the soil. Protecting the stabilized soil against water causes a significant increase in compressive strength, the enhance of compressive strength of the samples was up to 40%. The shear strength, and thus the values of the angle of internal friction and the cohesion of coarse silt, were significantly affected by content of the stabilizer. The both parameters increased with the increase of the binder addition.

Aim of the study: Arid and semi-arid lands often face a shortage of freshwater due to uncontrolled runoff. In arid and semi-arid regions of Africa, rainwater harvesting is a promising solution that can be implemented for multiple purposes such as agriculture, recreation, flood control, and drinking water. This study highlighted numerous benefits of rainwater harvesting that can bridge the gap between water demand and availability. Although water scarcity remains a major constraint to life and economic development, it is an obvious fact that arid and semi-arid regions of Africa are slowly adopting effective rainwater harvesting measures. In arid and semi-arid areas of Africa limited knowledge and experiences regarding rainwater harvesting systems coupled with financial inadequacies, inexistence of feasibility studies, lack of understanding among farmers, and resistance to new technologies pose challenges. The present work highlights the benefits, opportunities and challenges associated with rainwater harvesting in arid and semi-arid lands of Africa. Based on the findings on benefits and challenges of water harvesting in arid and semi-arid lands of Africa, the present study recommends that policymakers should invest in mass education to adopt rainwater harvesting as complement to traditional water sources, engage experts to comprehensively design infrastructure for rainwater harvesting using necessary techniques that will optimise collection and storage. To make progress, further research is needed to identify potential zones for runoff harvesting, and rainwater harvesting should be integrated with the much-needed green revolution and climate change adaptations for land reclamation.

Aim of the study: Today, completely new forms of geo-information systems are becoming increasingly popular. New technological possibilities allow these systems to be adapted to the requirements and needs of societies. This paper is an extensive literature review of the use of geodata in various scientific fields, in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) disciplines. However, as there is no universal agreement as to which disciplines are included in the STEM, the authors also included related fields such as geography or transport. Material and methods: Already a preliminary analysis of the Web of Science Core Collection database has shown that geodata is used very widely, in every scientific discipline analysed (with varying degrees of sophistication). The main objective of the paper is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the usage of geodata in five areas: bathymetric measurements, satellite geodata, aerial retrieved geodata, levelling networks, and GIS data. Results and conclusions: The results showed the increasing availability of data that can contribute to a better understanding and management of our planet. Geodata as a tool is overly broad and general, and it is used or might be used in every discipline of science.
研究目的:今天,全新形式的地理信息系统正变得越来越流行。新技术的可能性使这些系统能够适应社会的要求和需要。本文对地理数据在各个科学领域(科学、技术、工程和数学)学科中的应用进行了广泛的文献综述。然而,由于对于哪些学科包括在STEM中没有普遍的共识,作者还包括了地理或交通等相关领域。材料和方法:对Web of Science核心收集数据库的初步分析已经表明,地理数据在每一个被分析的科学学科中(以不同的复杂程度)都得到了非常广泛的应用。本文的主要目的是对五个领域的地理数据使用情况进行全面分析:测深测量、卫星地理数据、航空检索地理数据、水准测量网络和GIS数据。结果和结论:结果表明,越来越多的数据可用性有助于更好地了解和管理我们的地球。地理数据作为一种工具过于宽泛和通用,它被用于或可能被用于科学的每个学科。

Aim of the study: The aim of the study is DNDC model simulation for nitrogen balance in rice-wheat cropping system. Material and methods: The DeNitrification-DeComposition (DNDC) model is a computer simulation model for the biogeochemistry of carbon and nitrogen in agro ecosystems that takes a process-oriented approach. The DNDC model version 9.5 (http:// www.dndc.sr.unh.edu) was selected for estimating nitrogen balance. The model consists of two modules. The first component simulates moisture, soil temperature, pH, and substrate concentration, which are determined by ecological parameters such as soil, climate, anthropogenic activities, and vegetation. It consists of sub-models for plant growth, decomposition, and soil climate. The second module predicts the emission of gasses from plant-soil systems such as methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrogen oxide (NO), dinitrogen (N2), ammonia (NH3), and carbon dioxide (CO2). The model includes empirical equations developed from laboratory studies and is based on the classical laws of chemistry, physics, and biology. The empirical equations included parameterizing specific biochemical or geochemical reactions. The entire model bridges the primary ecological drivers with the biogeochemical cycles of C and N (see: Figures 1 and 2). Results and conclusions: This study used the DNDC model to estimate nitrogen balance in the study area. A calibrated and validated DNDC model was used to simulate NO3-N loss in runoff and leachate from a rice–wheat cropping system from 2018 to 2020. The total nitrogen balance estimated by the DNDC model was negative (–99.44 kg N ha–1 yr–1) and positive (69.1 kg N ha–1 yr–1) for rice and wheat cropping systems, respectively, in the study area.

Aim of the study Assessing the perception of north western Ethiopia farmers’ on the role of potato in the farming system Material and methods: Elders with different socioeconomic back grounds and experience on potato production were used for this study. A proportional allocation formula was employed. Data was collected from both primary and secondary sources. Primary sources of data were collected. The questionnaire constituted open ended questions to allow full expression about the issue. Discussions were made with farmers, agricultural extension officers, researchers, and potato experts. All sets of data were subjected to Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 24 computer software (20) and descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation and frequency were used to analyze the collected data. Class intervals were used to analyze descriptive statistics for age, education level, family size, etc. Results and conclusions: The survey also revealed that farmers use potato in soil fertility management, had their own local varieties and different variety preferences. They were losing such local potato varieties which had different quality attributes to be used in different breeding/agronomy programmes and best fit to degraded lands. More frequency of ploughing causes soil and nutrient erosion. The study also revealed that there were traditional techniques of soil fertility management like terracing, fertilization and crop rotation mainly with potato. Farmers in the surveyed area believed that potato can ameliorate the fertility of the soil and protect soils from erosion. Researches should be conducted to minimize number of ploughing in potato production.
研究目的评估埃塞俄比亚西北部农民对马铃薯在农业系统中的作用的看法材料和方法:本研究使用了具有不同社会经济背景和马铃薯生产经验的老年人。采用比例分配公式。数据从主要和次要来源收集。收集了主要的数据来源。问卷是开放式的问题,以便充分表达对这个问题的看法。与农民、农业推广人员、研究人员和马铃薯专家进行了讨论。所有数据均采用SPSS (Version 24 Social Sciences)计算机软件(20)进行统计处理,并采用均值、标准差、频率等描述性统计对收集到的数据进行分析。采用班级间隔对年龄、教育程度、家庭规模等进行描述性统计分析。结果与结论:调查还发现,农民利用马铃薯进行土壤肥力管理,有自己的地方品种和不同的品种偏好。他们正在失去这些具有不同品质属性的本地马铃薯品种,这些马铃薯品种可用于不同的育种/农艺计划,并且最适合退化的土地。频繁的耕作导致土壤和养分的侵蚀。该研究还揭示了传统的土壤肥力管理技术,如梯田、施肥和以马铃薯为主的轮作。被调查地区的农民认为马铃薯可以改善土壤肥力,防止土壤侵蚀。应研究在马铃薯生产中尽量减少犁地次数。

A proportional allocation formula was employed. Data was collected from both primary and secondary sources. Primary sources of data were collected. The questionnaire constituted open ended questions to allow full expression about the issue. Discussions were made with farmers, agricultural extension officers, researchers, and potato experts. All sets of data were subjected to Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS), Version 24 computer software (20) and descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation and frequency were used to analyze the collected data. Class intervals were used to analyze descriptive statistics for age, education level, family size, etc. Results and conclusions: The survey also revealed that farmers use potato in soil fertility management, had their own local varieties and different variety preferences. They were losing such local potato varieties which had different quality attributes to be used in different breeding/agronomy programmes and best fit to degraded lands. More frequency of ploughing causes soil and nutrient erosion. The study also revealed that there were traditional techniques of soil fertility management like terracing, fertilization and crop rotation mainly with potato. Farmers in the surveyed area believed that potato can ameliorate the fertility of the soil and protect soils from erosion. Researches should be conducted to minimize number of ploughing in potato production.","PeriodicalId":51904,"journal":{"name":"Acta Scientiarum Polonorum-Formatio Circumiectus","volume":"399 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79460863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim of the study: The main objective of the study was to analyse the possibility of using GIS tools for 3D modeling of data presented on local spatial development plans (LSMP) in the form of maximising the use of its provisions Material and methods: Publicly available LSMP for the analyzed scope were used in order to obtain the maximum building height for each section of the study area. Then, based on data obtained from the Open Street Map (OSM) and the database of topographic objects (BDOT10k), the areas on which construction or increase in the number of floors of existing buildings can take place were determined. Results and conclusions: The analyses obtained made it possible to determine the regions for which increased development is possible. This type of knowledge can be useful for facility owners, developers, and most importantly for public administration bodies to have knowledge about planning or possible elements in the MPZP that should be changed to prevent excessive building density. This could result, for example, in the possibility of obscuring the visibility of the sun for selected areas or closing air corridors in the city. Thus, this type of study allows a very simple way to visualise the maximum possible development on newly created local plans and other such analyses

Aim of the study: This study aims to quantify uncertainty in climate change impact assessment on crop production by using all available climate models (GCMs) under both harsh and mild emission scenarios from 2020 to 2095, which has not yet been done in the study region. Material and methods: In this regard, a comparative study was carried out for Ludhiana district, Punjab, India, in which Global Climate Model (GCM) outputs for daily maximum (Tmax) and minimum temperature (Tmin) and rainfall under A1B scenario concerning Mid Century (MC) (2020-2050) and End Century (EC) (2070-2095) was extracted from ECHam5-GCM and PRECIS model. DSSAT v.4.6.1 model and Papadakis method were used to study the climate change behavior under these two-time slices. In addition, climate data from RCP scenarios for the future were extracted from five randomly selected GCMs under scenarios RCP 4.5 and RCP 8.5 using the marksim DSSAT weather generator. Results and conclusions: The results showed that the annual minimum temperature would increase by 2.4 °C and 2.45 °C during EC using ECHAM5 and PRECIS models. In contrast, under RCPs 4.5 and 8.5 scenarios, the mean annual temperature would increase by 1.56°C in MC and 3.11°C in EC compared to that of the baseline period and 2.75°C in MC and 5.46°C in EC compared to that of the baseline period, respectively. The corresponding likely decrease in annual RF under RCP 4.5 is 98 mm and 90 mm during MC and EC, respectively. The corresponding increase in annual RF under RCP 8.5 is 153 mm and 251 mm, respectively.
