Currently, in the context of the global environmental crisis, human life is accompanied by great difficulties. Their elimination requires, first of all, the improvement of environmental knowledge, which will help to further overcome the environmental crisis. The studies show that at present the work on environmental education in the universities of Azerbaijan is not satisfactory. The tendency to reduce academic hours makes it impossible to include additional environmental subjects in the curriculum. However, this does not mean that environmental awareness should be neglected. Universities have a sufficient base for environmental work, especially in the natural sciences departments. In this regard, environmental awareness has been brought to the forefront in the training of students on specialties „Biology”, „Geography”, „Physics” and „Chemistry” of Baku State University and Azerbaijan State Pedagogical University. As a result of the experiment, the effectiveness of the proposed method of environmental education of students in the teaching of natural sciences was proved, it was found that as a result of this training, significant changes will occur in the students’ attitude to nature.

Researches and Studies made by the Department of Oceanography of the Institute of Geoscience of the State University of Rio de Janeiro UERJ, evidenced the need for educational support where environment-related questions were concerned. A wide range of environment problems tend to concentrate in coastal areas, owing to disordinate urban growth combined with the lack of substructure to cope with it A large number of these problems can be minimized through the participation of the local community. Thus the goals of environmental education are to supply information, to promote a change in the population's attitude toward environmental problems, besides stimulating its participation by fostering its sense of responsibility. Preliminary results have demonstrated that the community has shown great interest in the work that has been proposed, and it has contributed with participation, promising response. Environmental education is fundamental when we consider possible solutions for environmental problems in coastal urban centers. Only by educating the main cause of environmental problems, man himself, will it be possible to consider the question starting from its very origin. This abstract presents two pioneer experiments in the Municipio of Rio de Janeiro, which are “Muito Prazer Marapendi” (“Glad to know you, Marapendi”) and “Troca de Areias da Praia de Copacabana” (“Exchange of Sands in Copacabana Beach”).

AbstractThere is a record of the positive effects of astrobiological research for the natural sciences and eventually for their technological use on Earth. However, on the philosophical effects, this is not as visible as the other sciences, which is why it can be assumed that it is a waste of time speculating on astrobioethics or also on the philosophy of astrobiology. This is the reason why this work seeks to identify and sustain the philosophical utility of astrobioethics. To achieve this, this article focuses on three essential aspects: teloempathy, education and astrotheology. Russell's argument about the value of philosophy will be used as a fundamental basis for the usefulness of astrobioethics.

The focus of this research is how Sicilian state university mathematics professors faced the challenge of teaching via distance education during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since the pandemic entered our lives suddenly, the professors found themselves having to lecture using an e-learning platform that they had never used before, and for which they could not receive training due to the health emergency. In addition to the emotional aspects related to the particular situation of the pandemic, there are two aspects to consider when teaching mathematics at a distance. The first is related to the fact that at university level, lecturers generally teach mathematics in a formal way, using many symbols and formulas that they are used to writing. The second aspect is that the way mathematics is taught is also related to the students to whom the teaching is addressed. In fact, not only online, but also in face-to-face modality, the teaching of mathematics to students on the mathematics degree course involves a different approach to lessons (as well as to the choice of topics to explain) than teaching mathematics in another degree course. In order to investigate how the Sicilian State university mathematics professors taught mathematics at distance, a questionnaire was prepared and administered one month after the beginning of the lockdown in Italy. Both quantitative and qualitative analyses were made, which allowed us to observe the way that university professors have adapted to the new teaching modality: they started to appropriate new artifacts (writing tablets, mathematical software, e-learning platform) to replicate their face-to-face teaching modality, mostly maintaining their blackboard teacher status. Their answers also reveal their beliefs related to teaching mathematics at university level, noting what has been an advantageous or disadvantageous for them in distance teaching.

Beberapa daerah di Wonogiri memiliki tanah yang mengandung kapur, sementara itu sebagian masyarakat mengonsumsi air yang berasal dari dalam tanah. Pada kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat tahun 2016 ditemukan permasalahan dalam masyarakat di kelurahan Wonogiri yaitu sulitnya mendeteksi adanya kapur dalam air yang mereka konsumsi. Sebagai akibatnya banyak masyarakat yang menderita penyakit dalam yang diakibatkan pengendapan kapur di dalam tubuh mereka seperti penyakit ginjal. Oleh karenanya, tim PPM Fakultas MIPA Universitas Negeri Yogyakarta membangun sistem pendeteksi adanya kapur dalam cairan berbasis Light Emitting Diode (LED) dan Light Dependent Resistor (LDR). LED digunakan untuk menyinari cairan dengan kadar kapur yang berbeda-beda, kemudian LDR akan mendeteksi cahaya LED yang melewati cairan tersebut. Besar kecilnya nilai luaran LDR akan bergantung kadar kapur dalam cairan. Masyarakat sangat antusias dan mulai menggunakan alat ini untuk mendeteksi adanya kapur di air yang mereka konsumsi. Kata kunci: Kesadahan, LDR, LED Workshop On Detector of Water Hardness Based On Light Dependet Resistor In Giritontro Village, Giritontro District, Wonogiri RegencyAbstract           Some areas in Wonogiri contain hardness in its soil, while some people consume water that come from the soil. In community service activity in 2016, we found problems in the community in Giritontro, Wonogiri that is the difficulties to detect the hardness in the water that people consume. As a result, many people who suffer from internal diseases caused by the deposition of lime in their bodies such as kidney disease. Therefore, the PPM team of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences of Yogyakarta State University built a hardness detection system in liquid based Light Emitting Diode (LED) and Light Dependent Resistor (LDR). LEDs are used to irradiate fluids with different lime levels, then LDR will detect the LED light passing through the liquid. The size of the LDR output value will depend on the lime content in the liquid. People are very enthusiastic and start using this tool to detect the presence of limestone in the water they consume. Keywords: Hardness, LDR, LED

THE NATURAL SCIENCES IN THE SERVICE OF PLEADINGS IN CASES INVOLVING MINORS: REMARKS ON CTH 2.4.1 [A. 318/319] = C. 5.4.20)SummaryThe subject of this article is the status of juvenile persons in Roman law, as exemplified by one of the constitutions of Constantine the Great, CTh 2.4.1 [a. 318/319] = C. 5.40.2, fragments of which are preserved in Theodosius’ Code of 438, and in an abridged version in Justinian’s Code of 534. In the first part of the article the author analyses the extremely controversial issue of the identity of the constitution’s addressee. In the second part he discusses the content of this constitution and the premises for its issue in the light of the Constantinian legislation on family matters and the way it was later interpreted. The article’s third part is an attempt to apply the natural and social sciences to the question of minors and their personality, and the examination of this issue as regards CTh 2.4.1 [a. 318/319] = C. 5.40.2. The author takes into consideration the basic data on the status of minors in Roman law, in the subsequent history of European law, and in non-European cultures. He concludes by making a series of observations on the potential for the application of the natural sciences in the study of Roman law, which could serve to confirm the timeless and universal nature of some of the solutions it prescribed.

Alois Riegl’s essay “Die Stimmung als Inhalt der modernen Kunst” (1899) has been one of art historiography’s early attempts to bridge art and science. In this text, Riegl not only presents the background of some of his theoretical and methodological premises but he also provides an overarching argument for the way natural sciences af- fect modern spectatorship. In this way, he establishes the basis of a Kunstwollen for the ‘age of the natural sciences’ and describes its appropriate artistic traits. Addressing the intellectual and historical context of the Stimmung Essay, this article shows how Riegl’s ideas work in a subtle and intricate manner, involving the combination of sensual and phenomenological observations to modes of knowl- edge. In this respect, the relation of art and science does not seem to be settled on a fixed contemplative basis but on the combination of the art with cognition and affects.
