It is my intention, here, to present the background to my work in a field which I have adopted, perhaps rashly and unwisely, in the spirit of an interested amateur. The work has been centred on the road systems of Roman Asia Minor and is concerned with the surviving evidence for the course and route of Roman roads, and the topographical and geographical problems which follow on from the elucidation of these roads. At a higher level of investigation I have been considering the grade of information which is afforded by the surviving literary evidence e.g. the itineraries. My ultimate purpose is to provide material for a fresh appraisal of the historical geography of Asia Minor: such material as I can collect is specifically intended to be a contribution to a new map or maps of Roman Asia Minor.In this article I wish to offer an outline of:(1) the principles which underlie my approach,(2) the definition of the categories of desired information,(3) a practical demonstration of the methods and techniques adopted in the work.

This chapter teases out the core elements of the ordinary conception of “race.” This does not include a scientific or philosophical definition of race. Rather, the chapter talks about the view of race that most people just slip into when going about the everyday business of life. It is a conception that has been taken so thoroughly for granted that many do not even question it. The chapter argues that understanding the conception of race is key to understanding dehumanization, because beliefs about race lie at the heart of the dehumanizing process. It shows that dividing human beings into races—into “our kind” and “their kind”—is the first step on the road to dehumanizing them.

The study of Satua I Srabeni I Srabena discusses the analysis of literary structure and anthropology. This analysis aims to reveal the building structures and values ??of Balinese culture embodied in Satua I Srabena I Srabeni.This research uses structural theory, text theory, and theory of Literary Anthropology. Methods and techniques used in this study are divided into three stages, namely 1) methods and techniques of data provision using simak method assisted by transcription techniques, record techniques, and translation techniques, 2) methods and techniques of data analysis using qualitative methods and descriptive analytic techniques , 3) methods and techniques of presenting the results of data analysis using informal methods and deductive and inductive techniques. The result of this research is narrative strutur which includes eight incident, using straight groove and groove is divided into five stages, namely: situation stage, generating circumstances stage, rising action stage, climax stage, and denouement stage. Characters and characterizations are divided into three namely: the main character is I Srabena I Srabeni, secondary figures namely Father, and complementary figures (complementary) ie a couple husband, wife of Anak Agung, Anak Agung, wife Jin, Jin. Background is divided into three, namely: the background of the place that is on the road, jumah, gerobag, park, alase, diwangan, punyan bingin, ampike, and pasisi, background time is peteng, ibi sanja, and weak and background atmosphere angry atmosphere, , longing, anxiety, fear, and threatening atmosphere. The theme of women, about women in good behavior should be done by women and contained a mandate on how to respect women and behave well in life. The results of the literary anthropological research in this satua reveal the values ??of the culture contained, namely the value of vital, social values, ethical values, human values, sacred values, and the value of rwa Bhinneda contained in the four elements of culture in the story.

The paper characterizes the problem of preservation of wildlife animals in connection with extension of transportation road systems. The constantly evolving transportation infrastructure in Europe, especially in its Midwestern part, on one hand connects, making it easier for people to travel and ship goods, but on the other hand it irreversibly divides and leaves a painful impress on virgin natural areas (fragmentation of the environment). The paper briefly presents the European Ecological Network Nature 2000 as the European Union program concerning the environmental protection. It enumerates possible types of animal crossings together with their characteristics. Some examples of underpasses, overpasses and crossings on the road surface are also presented. It also presents specificity and phases of designing engineering structures of this type, as well as the most common design errors and their influence over the use of such structures by animals. Finally the soil-steel bridge structures made from corrugated plates are characterized in their function as crossings for animals. The conclusion mentions complexity of the problem of animal crossing construction, which can be of use to designers and constructors of this type of engineering structures. Santrauka Straipsnyje apžvelgtos laukinės gyvūnijos išsaugojimo problemos, susijusios su besiplečiančiu transporto tinklu. Nuolat besivystanti transporto infrastruktūra Europoje, ypač Vidurio vakaruose, viena vertus, jungia ir palengvina žmonių mobilumą,sukuria jungtį su uostais, tačiau, kita vertus, daro didelę žalą natūraliai aplinkai (aplinkos fragmentacija). Straipsnyje trumpai pristatoma Europos ekologinio tinklo ,,Natura 2000“ ES programa, skirta aplinkos apsaugai. Išvardyti galimi gyvūnų perėjų tipai su jiems būdingomis charakteristikomis. Pateikiami požeminių, virš kelio ir perėjų per patį kelią pavyzdžiai. Straipsnyje taip pat apžvelgiama inžinerinių struktūrų projektavimo specifika ir fazės, aptariamos dažniausiai pasitaikančios projektavimo klaidos ir jų įtaka gyvūnams. Galiausiai apibūdinamas dirvos ir plieninių tiltų struktūros, pagamintos iš gofruotų plokštelių, naudojimas gyvūnų perėjoms. Išvadose aptariamas gyvūnų perėjų konstrukcijų problemų kompleksiškumas, į kurį turėtų atkreipti dėmesį gyvūnų perėjas konstruojantys inžinieriai ir dizaineriai. Резюме Анализируются проблемы охраны диких животных в связи с расширяющейся транспортной сетью. Постоянно развивающаяся транспортная инфраструктура в Европе, особенно на западе центральной части Европы, с одной стороны, объединяет людей, облегчает их мобильность, открывает доступ к портам, с другой – наносит непоправимый вред натуральной природе. В статье вкратце представлена программа Европейской экологической сети – Natura 2000, касающаяся охраны окружающей среды. Перечислены возможные типы переходов для животных с их типичными характеристиками. Представлены примеры подземных переходов, переходов над дорогой и по самой дороге. Проанализирована специфика и фазы проектирования инженерных структур, а также часто совершаемых ошибок при проектировании и их влияние на животных. Охарактеризовано применение для переходов животных почвенностальных структур мостов из гофрированных пластин. Проанализирована комплексность проблем, касающихся конструкций для переходов животных, на которые следует обратить внимание инженерам и дизайнерам при констру ировании переходов для животных.

The traditional definition of sustainability calls for policies and strategies that meet societys present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (1). Sustainability is a concern in private and public sectors all over the world; it is an issue that resonates with people in all age ranges, income levels, and geographic locations. The main idea of sustainability is reduce, reuse, and recycle. People and organizations alike must consider every possible effect from the decisions they make in regards to the environment. With over 600,000,000 passenger cars on the road in the world, and over 50,000,000 passenger cars built each year, it is imperative that automakers make sustainable decisions (2). It is not just the large number of vehicles in the world that is cause for concern, but the immense amount of resources needed to manufacture, transport, and fuel them. Automakers must consider the impact that each car has during every stage of its life cycle, in addition to their responsibility to society (in terms of the environment, education, and safety) and the impact of their suppliers. This case study is designed to discuss the background of Toyota and highlight the companys current actions in regard to sustainable marketing; a comparison will also be made to the sustainable efforts of Honda and Subaru.

Іntroduction. The article notes the relevance of defining the role of doctrine in the development of the law, given the rapid legislative races on the road to European integration. It is emphasized that the legal doctrines of different States may differ in the strength of their national characteristics, certain objective factors – historical, political, economic, cultural, religious and the like. As an example, it is possible to call existing since ancient times, doctrines of natural rights, popular sovereignty, social contract, the theological doctrine of state and law, rule of law and the like. Тhe aim of the article. Given the above, the aim of the article is the study of the legal doctrine as a kind of matrix quality law and the definition of its influence on legislative activities. One of the definitions of the term «matrix» is understanding it as a General framework, models, diagrams, anything. Results. Scientists, analyzing the legal doctrine distinguish two main functions: on the one hand it is the theoretical basis for the legislative process, and on the other source of law, and, accordingly, is implemented in the enforceability of the process. Based on the reviewed definitions of legal doctrine and its role in law-making activities, its influence on the formation of high-quality law, as the conclusion should focus on the following features that characterize its matrix, to create high-quality law. Сonclusion. As a conclusion it is noted that the capacity of legal doctrine to serve as a matrix in the legislative and realtime processes due to its functional and content side: on the one hand, it is a waste years of theoretical (conceptual) framework for law-making; second, it objectifies the results of scientific research in the form of fundamental legal ideas and concepts (ideals, values, principles, norms); thirdly, the doctrinal knowledge transforms in legislation, filling it with quality content. Consequently, the legal doctrine as a body of basic scientific ideas is intended to be a repository of fundamental principles and values formed in the process of development of society, perceived them, and which should be to find objective expression in national law.
