Abstract A study of the structural surface of the Pelvoux crystalline complex in the Morges synclinorium, southeast of Chapelle-en-Valgaudemar, in the Briancon region, France. This surface resembles that of a cumulus cloud in shape. It is concluded that during the Alpine orogeny the crystalline complex was deformed, on a large scale, as a semirigid, semiplastic mass, with faulting only on a small scale. The sedimentary cover, on the other hand, was subjected to strong tangential displacements, resulting in the piling up of thrust slices. The mechanism of formation of closed synclines, enlarging downwards and often enclosing pockets of sedimentary rocks entirely within the crystalline rocks, is not yet clear.

Abstract The discovery of several synclinal zones composed of Carboniferous and Mesozoic strata throws additional light on the structure of the crystalline complex of the Pelvoux massif, France, and substantiates the concept of large-scale plastic deformation with local fracturing on a small scale. The interaction between the crystalline complex and the sedimentary cover during Alpine deformation, both in the massif and in adjacent ranges, is discussed.

AbstractAccurate characteristic of structural surfaces roughness at the relevant scale is very important to understand mechanical properties of rock mass discontinuities. So, a systematic investigation has been carried out to understand the effect of scale on the structural surface roughness by fractal dimension method. Firstly, considering the shortcoming of the projective covering method (PCM), we improved this method based on stochastic approach. Secondly, to investigate the size effect of the structural surface roughness, we selected six sampling windows, respectively, from the central and four corners part of structural planes (2 m × 2 m). The sampling windows range from 62.5 mm × 62.5 mm to 2000 mm × 2000 mm. And then, we calculated fractal parameters of the different size surfaces using improved projective covering method (IPCM) at the same resolution. Thirdly, we discussed a new method of determining reasonable size of structural surfaces by the parameter $$\Delta D_{\max }^{SD}$$ Δ D max SD . This parameter is difference of the maximum fractal dimension of the same size structural surface in different regions. The results show that: (1) The size effect of structure surfaces is different with different morphological surface. Generally, as the size increases, the roughness of structure surfaces increases and then decreases. There is positive size effect in small scale and negative size effect in large scale. (2) For a given structural surface, when the same size surfaces are selected from different locations of the structural planes, and the size effect characteristics are also different. (3) As the size of structure surfaces increases, the parameter $$\Delta D_{\max }^{SD}$$ Δ D max SD gradually decreases and tends to almost constant. The result of this study is a useful supplement to the comprehensive understanding of the size effect of structural surfaces roughness.

Проведен анализ сейсмотектонических условий и современной сейсмичности Восточного Кавказа. На основе накопленных геолого-геофизических материалов многими исполнителями и организациями составлена новая схема разломно-блоковой тектоники и обобщенная схема тектонического районирования с элементами разломно-блоковой тектоники в масштабе 1:500 000. Сделан прогноз зон возможных очагов землетрясений (ВОЗ). Новая обобщенная схема отражает все известные крупные дизъюнктивные нарушения и блоки фундамента и осадочного чехла Дагестанского сектора Восточного Кавказа на современном этапе его изученности и служит основой для прогнозирования эндогенных процессов, локализации источников напряжений и  выявления потенциальных сейсмических очагов. В течение последних 30–40 лет инструментальным путем здесь зарегистрировано довольно много сильных землетрясений, в том числе: Дагестанское – 14.05.1970 г. (8–9 баллов), Салатауское – 23.12.1974 г. (7 баллов), Буйнакское – 9.01.1975 г. с силой в эпицентре равной 8 баллам, Кумторкалинские – (31.01. с силой в 7 баллов и 21.02., 14.04.1999 г.) и др. Пространственное распределение эпицентров землетрясений показывает, что, помимо отмеченной современной высокосейсмичной зоны, в северо-восточном сегменте Восточного Кавказа выявлены еще четыре сейсмоактивные зоны: Дербентская, Кубачи-Дейбук-Харбук-Уркарахская, Аргун-Гудермес-Хасавюртовская и Лагодехи-Белоканы-Закаталинская. Сейсмические циклы в этих зонах имеют другую периодичность и продолжительность. По результатам анализа геодинамической активности за последние 30–40 лет сделан вывод о ее сейсмическом характере и установлены некоторые признаки вероятной подготовки сильного землетрясения в ближайшем будущем. Одним из признаков вероятной подготовки сильного землетрясения является снижение дисперсии (уменьшение) между максимальными и минимальными магнитудами за исследуемый период времени. The analysis of seismotectonic conditions and modern seismicity of the East Caucasus is carried out. Based on a detailed analysis of the accumulated geological and geophysical materials of the industrial enterprises “Dagneft”, Dagneftegaz, “Dagestangeologia”, the Institute of Geology of Dagestan Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences and large-scale geological, tectonic, geological and structural maps of I.O. Brod, L.A. Vardanyants, V.P. Rengarten, N.N. Rostovtsev, Yu.G. Leonov and others, as well as small-scale maps of A.I. Letavin, V.L. Galin, D.G. Sharafutdinov, G.D. Butorin, G.G. Gasanguseinov, D.A. Mirzoev, V.M. Pirbudagov and many others, a new scheme of fault-block tectonics and a generalized tectonic zoning scheme with elements of fault-block tectonics on a scale of 1: 500 000 have been compiled. According to the results of the research, prediction of zones of possible seismic sources (PSS) was performed. The new generalized scheme reflects all known major disjunctions and blocks of the basement and sedimentary cover of the Dagestan sector of the Eastern Caucasus at the present stage of its study and serves as a basis for predicting endogenous processes, localizing sources of stress and identifying potential seismic sources. During the last 30-40 years, quite a lot of strong earthquakes have been recorded here by instrumental means, including: Dagestan - 14.05.1970 (8-9 points), Salatau - 23.12.1974 (7 points), Buynaksk - 9.01. 1975 with the magnitude in the epicenter equal to 8 points, the Kumtorkala earthquakes - (31.01. with the magnitude of 7 points and 21.02., 14.04.1999), etc. The spatial distribution of earthquake epicenters shows that, in addition to the marked modern high-seismic zone, four more seismically active zones were identified in the northeast segment of the Eastern Caucasus: Derbent, Kubachi-Deybuk-Harbuk-Urkarakh, Argun-Gudermes-Khasavyurt and Lagodekhi-Belokany-Zakatalinsk. Seismic cycles in these zones have a different frequency and duration. According to the analysis of the modern seismicity, it was concluded that seismic activity has increased over the past 30–40 years and some signs of a possible preparation of a strong earthquake in the near future revealed. One of the signs of probable preparation of a strong earthquake is a reduction in dispersion (decrease) between the maximum and minimum magnitudes for the studied period of time.

IPA Integrated is a place for students to study themselves and the surrounding environment applied in daily life. Integrated IPA Learning provides a direct experience to students through the use and development of scientific skills and attitudes. The importance of integrated IPA requires to pack learning well, integrated IPA integration with the preparation of modules combined with learning strategy can maximize the learning process in school. In SMP 209 Jakarta, the value of the integrated IPA is obtained from 34 students there are 10 students completed and 24 students are not complete because they get the value below the KKM of 68. This research is a development study with the development model of ADDIE (Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation). The use of KPS-based integrated IPA modules (Science Process sSkills) on the theme of rainbow phenomenon obtained by media expert validation results with an average score of 84.38%, average material expert 82.18%, average linguist 75.37%. So the average of all aspects obtained by 80.55% is worth using and tested to students. The results of the teacher response obtained 88.69% value with excellent criteria. Student responses on a small scale acquired an average score of 85.19% with highly agreed criteria and on the large-scale student response gained a yield of 86.44% with very agreed criteria. So the module can be concluded receiving a good response by the teacher and students.

Abstract Gentrification is no-longer, if it ever was, a small scale process of urban transformation. Gentrification globally is more often practised as large scale urban redevelopment. It is state-led or state-induced. The results are clear – the displacement and disenfranchisement of low income groups in favour of wealthier in-movers. So, why has gentrification come to dominate policy making worldwide and what can be done about it?

In Vietnam, the construction of hydropower projects has contributed significantly in the cause of industrialization and modernization of the country. The place where hydropower projects are built is mostly inhabited by ethnic minorities - communities that rely primarily on land, a very important source of livelihood security. In the context of the lack of common productive land in resettlement areas, the orientation for agricultural production is to promote indigenous knowledge combined with increasing scientific and technical application; shifting from small-scale production practices to large-scale commodity production. However, the research results of this article show that many obstacles in the transition process are being posed such as limitations on natural resources, traditional production thinking or the suitability and effectiveness of scientific - technical application models. When agricultural production does not ensure food security, a number of implications for people’s lives are increasingly evident, such as poverty, preserving cultural identity, social relations and resource protection. Since then, it has set the role of the State in researching and building appropriate agricultural production models to exploit local strengths and ensure sustainability.

Recent floods in Ghana are largely blamed on mining activities. Not only are lives lost through these floods, farms andproperties are destroyed as a result. Water resources are diverted, polluted and impounded upon by both large-scale minersand small-scale miners. Although these activities are largely blamed on behavioural attitudes that need to be changed, thereare legal dimensions that should be addressed as well. Coincidentally, a great proportion of the water resources of Ghana arewithin these mining areas thus the continual pollution of these surface water sources is a serious threat to the environmentand the development of the country as a whole. The environmental laws need to be oriented properly with adequate sanctionsto tackle the impacts mining has on water resources. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) procedure needs to bestreamlined and undertaken by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and not the company itself.

Biomass such as agriculture waste and urban waste are enormous potency as energy resources instead of enviromental problem. organic waste can be converted into energy in the form of liquid fuel, solid, and syngas by using of pyrolysis technique. Pyrolysis process can yield higher liquid form when the process can be drifted into fast and flash response. It can be solved by using microwave heating method. This research is started from developing an experimentation laboratory apparatus of microwave-assisted pyrolysis of biomass energy conversion system, and conducting preliminary experiments for gaining the proof that this method can be established for driving the process properly and safely. Modifying commercial oven into laboratory apparatus has been done, it works safely, and initial experiments have been carried out, process yields bio-oil and charcoal shortly, several parameters are achieved. Some further experiments are still needed for more detail parameters. Theresults may be used to design small-scale continuous model of productionsystem, which then can be developed into large-scale model that applicable for comercial use.
