Inland Ice

The first successful application of electromagnetic ref1ection (EMR) techniques for determination of ice thickness in the outermost margin of the Inland Ice adjacent to the Pâkitsoq basin took place in luly 1985 (Thorning et al., 1986). Although the survey was planned as a series of experiments to examine why previous attempts had not worked, the EMR data acquired were of very good quality and could be compiled into a preliminary map of ice thickness and a map of the subglacial topography over part of the region. Thus, by early 1986 it Rapp. Grønlands geol. Unders. 135, 87-95 (1987) was known that the method worked and could be compiled through to the final product. With the increasing interest in this region, which is the planned location of the first hydroelectric power plant in Greenland, it was necessary to return in 1986 to survey the area in greater detail and to extend the coverage to the east. This note describes the field work carried out in April 1986 and the subsequent compilation and analysis of the combined EMR data sets from 1985 and 1986.

The Past

The Trichoptera of the lower Kunene River were collected at irregular intervals from 1994 to 2012 by the first author. Samples were taken mainly at several localities on the Namibian side of the border downstream of the Ruacana hydroelectric power plant. Field work concentrated on adults, which were collected by light traps. Together with results of previous investigations a total of 41 species in 16 genera covering five families are now recorded from the river. About four species were found as immatures in the past, and were identified to generic level only. The first author has collected 27 species including nine undescribed ones: Catoxyethira kunenica sp. nov., Orthotrichia epupae sp. nov., O. vadalis sp. nov., O. kunenensis sp. nov., Ecnomus magnus sp. nov., E. quadrangulatus sp. nov., E. (Psychomyiellodes) statzneri sp. nov., E. (Psychomyiellodes) angonamus sp. nov. and Ceraclea (Pseudoleptocerus) lepidopterella sp. nov. Descriptions and illustrations of the genitalia of the new species are provided. Two species were synonymized: Oecetis kunenensis Barnard, 1934 = Oectis reticulatella Kimmins, 1957, syn. nov. and Oecetis tripunctata (Fabricius, 1793) = Oecetis ovamboensis Barnard, 1934, syn. nov.

In recent years, there was an increasing number of studies focusing on rockfalls due to their impacts on social and sustainable development. This work carries out a three-dimensional (3D) simulation of rockfalls at a cultural heritage site nearby the village of Cortes de Pallás (Valencian Community, East Spain). The simulation is based on data collected previously, during an emergency declaration due to the occurrence of a considerable rockfall (7980 m3) on the southern bank of the Cortes de Pallás reservoir, on 6 April 2015. The hydroelectric power plant was damaged, and the main access road to the village of Cortes de Pallás was blocked for eight months. The predominant discontinuities of the rock mass were analyzed by means of the application of structure from motion (SfM) photogrammetry techniques to the set of images taken by remotely piloted aircraft systems (RPAS). The average size of the block was determined as 3.2 m in diameter and 17.6 m3 in volume. Additionally, a digital elevation model (DEM) was generated from an aerial laser scanning (ALS)-derived point cloud using a 1 × 1 grid. These data were implemented in RocPro3D software, obtaining the distances traveled by the blocks detached from different source areas at a cultural heritage site located near the rockfall event, which presents the same geological context. The simulation presented herein shows aggravating circumstances that endanger the cultural heritage area, with higher rockfall hazards than previous official studies (1991) displayed.

The article is devoted to the publication of materials of several Scythian burials on the Dnipro Pryporyzhya territory in 1927—1932. An archeological expedition was founded under the direction of Academician D. Ya. Yavornytsky, in connection with the construction of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Plant. Many Scythian antiquities had been explored in the archaeological sites of other epochs. Its members were actively working well-known archaeologists, beginning specialists and local historians: A. V. Dobrovolskyj, M. Ya. Rudynskyj, S. S. Gamchenko, P. I. Smolichev, M. O. Miller, T. T. Kyraniv, G. G. Martens, V. A. Grinchenko, P. A. Kozar, F. M. Sapyan, L. E. Kistyakivskyj and other. Almost S. Magura conducts his researches in this region. The cemetery at the Gadiucha Balka on the northern right bank of Dnipro river in Zaporoizhya included both barrows and prevailing burials without embankments, and stone laying on the surface. Necropolis was founded in the Vth century BC, and was used in the IVth BC. There is a high percentage of burials with weapons comparing with similar monuments. The most interesting is the burial 3 in group 1. There are two pits without bones under the stone pavement. A set of bronze arrowheads, an iron spear, bits with cheeck-peaces, and also a part of the horn of a deer was founded in this cenotaph. Mound grave predominated over burials without a mound in the necropolis near Dniprozavodbud. Necropolis functioned in the V—IV centuries. BC. Two burials from the grave 36 survived. They belonged to a woman, accompanied by a mirror and a necklace, as well as a warrior with a quiver set. Barrow 4 contained a ruined burial. The skeleton was accompanied by a bronze cheeck-peace. Mound grave burials dominated in the burial groups of the Kichkas while stone pavements were only a quarter. In the grave 6 at the Kichkas railway station, the burial was performed in the pit, where the arrowhead was found. Details of the bridle and bronze knife were founded at the periphery of the complex. The archaeological site refers to the early middlescythian time. Barrow 9 in the village Kushugum was girded with a stone fastener and had 0.79 m height and a diameter — 24 m. Objects of bridle (zoomorphic plates, buckles) was founded in its burial mound. A burial in an oval pit was inside. The skeleton lay stretched out on its back, its head to the west. Arrowheads was in a grave. The burial can be dated the 2nd quarter — the middle of the 5th century BC. It is established that the tradition of the construction of stone piles in the non-kurgan cemeteries on the Lower Dnieper goes back to the Bronze Age and the pre-Scythian period. Perhaps this indicates the residence of a part of the sedentary autochthonous population here for such a long time, which has carried this tradition through the ages.

AbstractThis paper concerns the relationship between research and governance policy in three Swedish major development projects in mathematics education: the New Math project (1960–1975), the PUMP project (1970–1980), and the Boost for Mathematics project in (2012–2016). All three projects were driven or financed by the Swedish central school authorities. Using a historical comparative method, this study deepens the understanding of how research co-exists with governance policy when preparing innovations in mathematics education. The main historical sources are official reports and governmental decisions concerning the three projects. The analysis is focused on the nature of the innovations of each project and the role of researchers in the process of creating the innovations. The analysis highlights the theories and the methods involved in those processes. The three projects are also positioned in a context of school governance policy. In Sweden, the prevailing school governing policy changed from a highly centralised governance in the 1960s to a highly decentralised governance in the 2010s. The paper concludes by discussing to what degree the researchers adhered to principles of research or school governance; in particular, the Boost for Mathematics project is considered in this regard. The relevance of the paper in relation to the emerging field of implementation research in mathematics education concerns how historical studies can give new insights about contemporary development projects in mathematics education.

Abstract Cypripedium calceolus is considered an endangered species in the territory of Poland. Population of this rare species, situated at Lake Kwiecko (Western Pomerania), was regularly monitored in the years 1986-2013. The studied population has been under the permanent influence of the nearby hydroelectric power plant for almost 45 years. The field observations showed that the power plant had no negative impact on the condition of Cypripedium calceolus population. An indication of its good condition was, among others, an increase in the size - from 150 to 350 specimens within the study period.
