В статье описаны исследования почв первого участка питомника Уральского учебно-опытного лесхоза. Полевые работы осуществлялись в сентябре 2020 г. Исследования были начаты в связи с необходимостью составления проекта реконструкции питомника. В ходе почвенной съемки была заложена сеть из 22 точек исследования на площади 2,8 га. Схема размещения точек исследования приведена в статье. Всего было заложено 2 разреза, 8 полуразрезов, 12 прикопок. Описание морфологических признаков почвы заложен- ных разрезов также приводится в данной статье. Установлено, что средняя мощность пахотного горизон- та исследуемого участка составила 29,8 ± 1,4 см при минимальной мощности 18 см и максимуме 44 см. В точках исследования было отобрано 36 почвенных образцов в двух повторностях. Почва питомника была отнесена к типу дерново-подзолистые окультуренные и виду дерново-слабоподзолистые. По мощности пахотного слоя исследуемые почвы классифицированы как среднепахотные с признаками средне- и силь- ноокультуренных почв. В одном из заложенных разрезов было зафиксировано, что подзолистый горизонт полностью перепахан и даже в горизонте В видны следы трансформации. Во втором разрезе горизонт А2 вовлечён в пахотный слой не полностью, а подпахотный горизонт (А2В) имеет белесовато-бурую окраску. Исследования почв питомника Уральского учебно-опытного лесхоза будут продолжены в лаборатории ка- федры лесоводства УГЛТУ. На основании данных исследований планируется составить почвенную карту и оценить почвы питомника на предмет пригодности для выращивания декоративного и лесного поса- дочного материала. Работы по почвенной съемке на втором и третьем участках исследуемого питомника запланированы на лето 2021 г. Field work was carried out in September 2020. Research was begun in connection with the need to draw up a project for the reconstruction of the nursery. During the soil survey, a network of 22 study points was laid on an area of 2. 8 hectares. The diagram of study point displacement is given in the article. In total, 2 cuts, 8 half-cuts, 12 traps were laid. A description of the morphological signs of the soil of the laid sections is also given in this article. It was established that the average power of the arable horizon of the study site was 29.8 ± 1.4 cm, with a minimum power of 18 cm and a mac-simum of 44 cm. At the points of study, 36 soil samples in two repetitions were selected. The soil of the nursery was classifi ed as der-new-podzolic cultivated and sod-slightly podzolic. According to the capacity of the arable layer, the studied soils are classifi ed as medium-arable with signs of medium and highly cultured soils. In one of the laid cuts, it was recorded that the podzolic gori-umbrella was completely swamped, and even in horizon B there are signs of transfer. In the second section, the horizon А2 not involved in the arable layer by half, but the under-arable horizon (А2В) has a whitish-brown color. Soil studies of the nursery of the Ural Educational and Experimental Forestry will be continued in the laboratory of the Department of Forestry of USFEU. Based on these studies, it is planned to draw up a soil map and evaluate the nursery soils for suitability for growing ornamental and forest planting material. Soil survey work on the WTO and the third section of the studied nursery is planned for the summer of 2021.

Sub-Saharan Africa has been the scene of a sizeable wave of social and political protests in recent years. These protests have many aspects in common, while at the same time there is a certain historic continuity connecting them to previous protests, with which they also have much in common. What makes them new, however, is a hybrid nature that combines street protest and online action, making them similar to protests occurring in other parts of the world during the same period. Based on a literature review and field work on three countries, Senegal, Burkina Faso, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, this article addresses some of the main features of what some authors have called the “third wave of African protests.” The study points out how the digital environment is galvanizing a new process of popular opposition and enabling both greater autonomy for actors promoting the protests and greater interaction at the regional level. With the sociopolitical impact in the short and medium term still uncertain, the third wave of African protests is giving birth to a new political and democratic culture in the region as a whole.

The soils of Owambo and Kawango plateau in Northern Namibia between logitudes 14°—21°E and latitudes 17°23”—18°30” S are studied applying some methods of the Finnish agricultural soil map work. Soil samples of 120 sites, 76 from 3 depths are analysed, the results are connected with the descriptions of terraines and presented as averages and figures. This basic knowledge is connected with the facts of references, observations during the period, results of agricultural observation trials, questionaires and discussions with the farmers. According to these the descriptions and suggestions are made concerning the agriculture in the area. Water and plant nutrient supplies, soil concervation and the most possible different branches o fthe farming life in the area are taken into consideration and a list of these is presented.

1997 was the third and final season devoted to gaining information on the behavior of river otters with most emphasis on nocturnal and diurnal activity. As in the 1995 and 1996 seasons, six automatic camera monitors, activated by treadle switches, were put out at sites often frequented by these animals. In addition, canoes were frequently used for daytime patrols. Field work occurred from July 8 - August 6.

Even though ammonites are not very abundant in Patagonia, a large number of specimens were collected by geologists from the Empresa Nacional del Petroleo (ENAP), Chile, during the course of several years of field work in the Magallanes Basin. This study describes the ammonite family Kossmaticeratidae present in that collection, which is a typical element of most southern hemisphere Late Cretaceous assemblages. The species described include: Kossmaticeras (Kossmaticeras?) fasciculatum n. sp., K. (Karapadites) constrictus n. sp., K. (Natalites) cecioni n. sp., K. (Natalites) hauthali (Paulcke), K. (Natalites) sp., Neograhamites kiliani Spath, N. taylori Spath, Gunnarites elegans n. sp., G. bhavaniformis (Kilian and Reboul), Grossouvrites gemmatus (Huppe), and Maorites densicostatus (Kilian and Reboul).The stratigraphic information on this fauna indicates that it is distributed in four assemblages. The oldest (assemblage A), possibly late Santonian to early Campanian in age, includes the species Kossmaticeras (Kossmaticeras?) fasciculatum, Neograhamites taylori, and possibly N. kiliani. This is followed by assemblage B (possibly middle to late Campanian), with K. (Karapadites) constrictus, K. (Karapadites) centinelaense (Blasco, Nullo, and Proserpio), K. (Natalites) hauthali, K. (Natalites) cecioni, Neograhamites morenoi Riccardi, N. taylori, N. kiliani, K. (Natalites) sp., Gunnarites elegans, G. bhavaniformis, and possibly Pseudokossmaticeras paulckei Collignon. The third assemblage (C), possibly late Campanian to early Maastrichtian in age, contains G. elegans, G. bhavaniformis, Grossouvrites gemmatus, and K. (Natalites) hauthali. The youngest assemblage (D) is possibly late Maastrichtian in age and is composed of the species Maorites densicostatus and Grossouvrites gemmatus.

<p>We present a new educational course "Creation of virtual geological outcrops of the outskirts of Lviv" for students of geological specialties. Discipline "Creation of virtual geological outcrops of the outskirts of Lviv" is a selective discipline for students of 2-3 courses of various specialties, which is lectured in the amount of 3 credits (according to ECTS). The course is 32 hours of classroom classes, 16 hours of these of lectures, the rest 16 hours of practical classes and 58 hours of self-study.</p><p>The course is in three parts. First is preparatory ones. Students get acquainted with the geological structure of Lviv, prepare equipment for field work.</p><p>The field stage (the second part of the course) includes the survey of 3-4 geological objects around Lviv. These can be natural outcrops, quarries. A particularly valuable object for learning is the Honey Cave, located within the city limits. Depending on the object, we choose the type of survey— digital photogrammetry or terrestrial laser scanning. Each group of 4 students explores 2 objects.</p><p>The third cameral period includes field data processing. Students create 3D geological models and perform various measurements on them. Students compare different types of models to choose the best one. At this stage, students use a variety of software available in institutions. The final stage of the course is the preparation of a report and passing the exam.</p><p>The project war partly financed by EGU HE Teaching Award.</p>

The research proposes a study of the social representations of leprosy, we seek three times to understand the sense of every society and their dynamics in relation to disease. The first in the city of Sobral/CE, where we carry out research in the years 2008 and 2009; the second moment in the city of Mogi das Cruzes/SP, with a man who has gone through several periods of hospitalization and overcame the stigma through work aimed at manufacture of prosthetic patients amputees; and the third time in New Delhi in India, where we find the largest number of leprosy patients. The places chosen for the field work were selected after repeated bibliographical research, readings of scholarly articles, medical texts and physicians about the disease and mainly with the data of the World Health Organization (WHO) and of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). We investigate the sociocultural reality of people afflicted by illness and how these could be with the disease.
