Community Dedication is an activity of the academic community that utilizes science and technology to advance the welfare of the community and educate the nation's life. The academic community, in this case the lecturers, is required to be able to socialize with the community and be able to make a real contribution. One form of community service carried out is measuring the Qibla direction towards existing mosques. The measurement of the Qibla direction using science and technology is an attempt to strengthen the prayer service. The more accurate the measurement of the Qibla direction, the more stable the belief in praying. Syaikh Zainuddin Nahdlatul Wathan Bintan Islamic Boarding School is an Islamic Boarding School under the auspices of the Nahdlatul Wathan organization which was founded by Maulana Syaikh TGKH. Muhammad Zainuddin Abdul Madjid, a National Hero from Lombok - West Nusa Tenggara. This Islamic Boarding School is a new Islamic Boarding School category and is currently building various facilities including a mosque. The measurement of the Qibla direction of the Syaikh Zainuddin Mosque was carried out on February 11, 2021 with latitude data 01o 0.84’ south latitude, longitude 104o 30.67’ east longitude using the Falak Instrument, namely Aulatis. The position of the Qibla direction of the Syaikh Zainuddin Mosque is 23o 03’ 8.82” from the West point tilted to the North or 66o 56’ 51.18” from the North point tilted to the West or Qibla Azimut 293o 03’ 08.82” UTSB (North East South West)

East And West

About 10 metres south-west of the sixth-century temple of Hera Akraia at Perachora, and nearly due west of the little harbour lies the small courtyard previously known as the ‘Agora’. Since its purpose is not known, it will here be non-committally referred to as the West Court. It was first excavated in 1932, and more fully, under the supervision of J. K. Brock, in 1933, but it was not entirely cleared until 1939, and it was at that time that the Roman house which stood in the middle of the court was demolished. The West Court is discussed briefly (under the name of ‘Agora’) in Perachora 1 and in the preliminary reports of the Perachora excavations. Short supplementary excavations were carried out in 1964 and 1966 to examine certain points of the structure.In shape the West Court is an irregular pentagon, about 24 metres from north to south and the same from east to west (Fig. 1; Plate 91 a, b). It is enclosed on the west, north, and on part, at least, of the east side by a wall of orthostates on an ashlar foundation. For a short distance on either side of the south corner, the court is bounded by a vertically dressed rock face which is extended to the north-east and west by walls of polygonal masonry. At the south-west corner the west orthostate wall butts against the polygonal wall, which continues for about 0·80 m. beyond it and then returns north for about 8 metres behind it.

The Town

The following remarks, being the result of a careful examination of a small district of country characteristic of the relations of the trap formations, are perhaps worthy of being recorded; although the general features of the county of Roxburgh have been very clearly stated in a paper by Mr Milne, published in the 15th volume of the Edinburgh Transactions.The outburst of porphyritic trap forming the conspicuous small group of the Eildon Hills, may be stated to be surrounded by the characteristic greywacke of the south of Scotland. It forms an elongated patch on the map, extending from the west end of Bowden Muir in the direction of the town of Selkirk, and running from west-south-west to east-north-east (true) towards Bemerside Hill, on the north bank of the Tweed. The breadth is variable, probably less than is generally supposed; but it cannot be accurately ascertained, owing to the accumulated diluvium which covers the whole south-eastern slope of this elevated ridge. On this account, my observations on the contact of rocks have been almost entirely confined to the northern and western boundaries of the trap, although the other side was examined with equal care.

Anorthosite Complex

An unusual occurrence of ultrabasic material was located in the eastern Sukkertoppen region during the reconnaissance mapping programme of 1977, the findings of which were described by Allaart et al. (1978). It occurs on a small exposure on the west side of a north-pointing peninsula in the middle of the large nunatak Majorqap alangua (65°53'N, 50°40'W), to the north-east of the Majorqaq valley (Hall, 1978, fig. 21). The area is composed predominantly of a suite of granulite facies granitic gneisses which contain numerous enclaves of pyroxene-bearing amphibolites, and locally anorthositic and gabbroic rocks similar to those seen in the Fiskenæsset anorthosite complex (Myers, 1975). The gneisses in the centre af the nunatak are highly irregular in orient at ion, occupying the complex interseclion af closures af at least two major fold phases. A belt af amphibolitcs forms the cliff at the south-west tip af Majorqap alangua. Related rocks occur in arnphibolite facies in the acea around the lakc Qardlit taserssuat immediately to the soulh (Hall, 1978).

References to palaeolithic implements from the Pleistocene deposits in the Buckinghamshire parish of Iver have appeared from time to time in the Proceedings of learned societies. The British Museum Guide to Antiquities of the Stone Age, 1926, p. 46, mentions artifacts from this district, where palaeoliths have been collected for nearly half a century, but a general summary has not been made showing the sequence of cultures and the significance of the relics from the local deposits. The author has had the commercial workings in the Iver gravels under observation for a number of years, and thinks that the archaeological evidence, now made available as a result of continuous supervision, may perhaps assist in the revision of published material.The area under review measures almost two miles from east to west and a mile and a half from north to south (map, fig. 1). It may be taken as bounded on the east by the Colne Brook, one of the branches of the River Colne, and on the west by a line passing through Parsonage Farm south-west of Shreding Green, which stands, like the eastern end of Iver village in the north-east corner of the rectangle, at an altitude of 120 ft.

Rainsborough is 1 mile South of Charlton village, in the parish of Newbottle, S. Northants, 20 miles North of Oxford, (SP 526348). The camp lies atc. 480′ OD, and the area enclosed isc. 6·25 acres.It lies on the edge of a plateau: the approaches to it are flat on the north-east, east, south and south-west, but a gentle slope to the north, north-west and west gives it a wide view across the Cherwell valley, towards Madmarston and Tadmarton (see map, fig. 1 and also pl. XXV). The defences are bivallate: the inner bank stands to 10 feet above the interior, and there is a drop of about 15 feet from the crest into the inner ditch; the second bank is very much lowered by ploughing, but still reaches a height of about 4 feet on the south side, where a hedge line has protected it; the outer ditch is nowhere visible on the surface, except on the west, when it carries a higher growth of weeds. The defences are covered with turf: the inner bank has also trees, bushes and the stumps of large beeches felledc. 1950. The bank is riddled with tree roots, and the sandy character of the core has attracted rabbits: recent attempts to dig and smoke out the warrens have slightly damaged the profile of the bank. A small dry stone wall is visible part way up the outer slope of the inner bank in several places.

“My magnetic observations in France, Spain, and Portugal are now published, and a copy for you is on the way. The observations of last summer are under the press. They comprehend about thirty stations in the North of Germany, Belgium, Holland, and Denmark. Next year I am going to Italy, and in 1860 I intend to revisit Spain, in order to observe the total eclipse of the sun, and also to make magnetic observations. “I have found that on the Continent the lines of horizontal intensity move from south-west to north-east, making an angle of about 20° with the meridian, that is, in a direction coinciding with the lines of declination. The lines of inclination seem to move in the same direction, and the motion of the lines of declination will probably coincide with the lines of horizontal intensity. Calling + ΔH and —Δ i the annual changes of horizontal intensity and inclination of a central station (suppose London), the annual changes for a place situated x degrees in latitude to the north, and y degrees in longitude to the west, will be— ΔH — 0·00018 x + 0·00008 y (absolute measure, French units), —Δ i + 0'·21 x —0'·09 y .

Ancient Remains

The site to be described lies on a low hill a little to the north of the small village or suburb of Nemesis, about 150 metres to the west of the main road from Patisia to Koukouvaounes, and 1 kilometre to east-south-east of the Mycenaean tholos tomb at Λυκὸτρυπα, which was excavated by the German Institute in 1879, and is usually called the Menidi Tomb. The site at Nemesis is visible from the tholos tomb, and is separated from it by a gentle valley through which run, in a southerly direction, two streams with steep banks. The eastern stream is the river Kephissos, whose name goes back at least as far as the classical period.The hill of Nemesis stands about 15 to 20 metres above the level of the surrounding land, and measures about 160 m. north-west to south-east × 120 m. north-east to south-west. The hill is an isolated outcrop of conglomerate rock, thinly covered with stony brown earth. It has been eroded over an area about 250 m. north-south × 50 m. east-west, so that its original size was considerably larger than at present, in all about 30,000 square metres. Mycenaean sherds were found over the whole of this area, though mainly in the eroded part, among the lumps of fallen earth and rock. Remains of rubble walling together with several Mycenaean sherds were found here, and also in the steep cliffs formed by the erosion on the west and south sides (this part of the hill has been undermined by recent excavation of the beds of grey clay, which here lie at between 2 and 3 metres below the original ground level). The ancient remains are particularly noticeable in the south-west angle of the cliffs (roughly in the centre of the part of the hill shown on Plate 71a), where there is a greater depth of earth above the rock than is visible elsewhere on the hill.

Central Trend

The mining village of Foxdale, situate a little towards the southern end of the north-east to south-west central trend-line of the Isle of Man, lies just north of the barren heath-covered hill called “Stoney Mountain”. On the 6 inch Ordnance Survey Map the northern part of this hill is called Granite Mountain and the southern portion Windy Common. The whole forms a long, regularly sloped hill with its greatest length—about 2 miles—approximately north and south. Though of small altitude its singular barrenness makes it conspicuous in a moderately well-cultivated district. To the west South Barrule and the Barrule Slate Quarries rise considerably above it, though on the other sides the ground slopes gently off to more distant hills.

Mathematical Formulas

The purpose of this paper was to determine long-range and spatial variability of the start and end dates of a period of intense vegetation in Poland in 1966–2015. The article is based on average monthly air temperature values acquired for 20 Polish stations for 1966–2015, made available by the Institute of Meteorology and Water Management – the National Research Institute. Based on the obtained data, the dates of the beginning and end of the intense vegetation period were determined. In this study, the intense vegetation period was defined as one with an average daily air temperature ≥10°C. The mathematical formulas proposed by Gumiński (1948) were used to determine the dates of the beginning and end of the period. A period of intense vegetation in Poland in the years 1966–2015 has extended. The dates of the beginning of the period of intense vegetation changed in the latitudinal system from the south to the north while the intensity of changes in the date of the beginning in the studied area was characterized by longitudinal distribution – the most prominent in the west of Poland. The end of the intense vegetation period occurs earliest in the north-east of Poland, and latest in the west and the south. The end date changes were less significant than the start date changes. The length of the intense vegetation period ranges from the north-east to the south-west of Poland, and the most dramatic changes occurred in the west and the south-east of Poland.

Tectonic Movements

Svartenhuk Halvø is built up primarily of Tertiary basalts; these overlie Cretaceous and early Tertiary sediments, and overlap onto the Precambrian basement. The basalt series can be divided into a lower and an upper series; although displaced by faults, the boundary between these series can be followed across the peninsula. The thickness of the lower basalt series is estimated to be about 2-3 km in the south of the peninsula and barely 1 km in the north; the sub-aquatic basalt breccia is included in these thicknesses. FauIts causing repetitions of the lava succession have resulted in the series being preserved over a rather large area. The general dip of the lavas is 3-4 dregrees towards SW in the east and 8-10 degrees, also towards SW, in the west. Locally dips between 10 and 20 degrees or even steeper are seen; these are the resulf of drag along fault zones in Arfertuarssuk fjord and Kugssineq valley, and between Svartenhuk Halvø and Ubekendt Ejland. The youngest fault has a displacement of 500 m or more and has downthrown the basement area to the north-east in relation to the sediment-basalt breccia-basalt series to the south-west. The upper basalt series has by far the greater lateral extent and covers the gneiss and metasediment area to the north and north-east at least as far as the Inland lee. The dip of the flows in this part of the basalt series is considerably lower than in much of the lower basalt series, but faults repeating the succession are also frequently encountered within the upper basalts. The tectonic movements evidence a strong E-W (or NE-SW) tension, never a compression; the weak anticlinal and synclinal structures which are seen are interpreted as resulfing from differential sagging. The lower basalt series is thought to have arisen from fissure eruptions, with the main area of eruption in the east. The lavas are very rich in olivine (i. e. are pieritic). The upper basalt series probably arose from central eruptions and smaller fissure eruptions, and the area of eruption is thought to have shifted to the west. The upper lavas become poorer in olivine; andesitic lavas represent perhaps a closing phase, more local in its distribution and perhaps resulting from magmatic assimilation of pre-basaltic sediments. "Iron basalt" and intrabasaltic breccia have not been noted on Svartenhuk Halvø.
