There are 30 Conservation Authorities in Ontario with a total area of 20,000 square miles. They have been established to co-ordinate all conservation work including flood control, land use, reforestation, fish and wildlife management and recreation on a watershed basis.The Conservation Authorities are bodies corporate composed of representatives from all the municipalities lying wholly or partly in the watershed. They may obtain grants from the Province of Ontario and, in some cases, from the Government of Canada.The Grand Valley Conservation Authority, which has jurisdiction over a watershed of 2,600 square miles in the agricultural region of Ontario, has been used as an example. About 10 per cent of this watershed remains in woodland composed of headwater swamps and farm woodlots, and for this reason the subject has been dealt with from the point of view of hydrometeorology rather than from the point of view of forestry.

The article presents work on the unification of the Polish judiciary in the Second Republic in the years 1918–1928. It was carried out in three tracks. The initiator of the first moves consisting in unification of district regulations, reorganisation and taking over the judiciary was the government and the Ministry of Justice. Since February 1919, these measures were supported and approved by the Legislative Sejm (later the Sejm). Since November 1919 the burden of work was taken over by the Codification Commission of the Republic of Poland. The aim of this article is to discuss the course of work on the law on the system of common courts within the Codification Committee of the Republic of Poland, with particular emphasis on the provisions on justices of the peace. From this point of view, it will help to solve the main research problem of the article: to what extent did the Polish Codification Commission contribute to shaping the institution of justices of the peace in the Ordinance of the President of the Republic of Poland on Law on the System of Judiciary of 6 February 1928. The article makes use of archival materials, protocols from the sessions of the Codification Commission of the Second Polish Republic, the legal literature of the Second Republic and the current literature on the subject.

Intertextuality plays a great role in the production and comprehension of various forms of humorous expressions, such as parodies and memes. The latter often rely on previous facts, images, videos, statements etc., to express a certain comic idea. Nowadays, memes and parodic videos are not just made by comedians, but also by ordinary people on social networks, mostly using images, videos and gifs found in search engines like Google. However, attempts at regulating the use of such materials, particularly from the point of view of copyright, threaten the freedom of this sort of humorous expression. The article discusses a case from Brazil in 2017, when the then President Michel Temer tried to stop the unauthorised use of his image in the creation of memes, stating that the pictures in the Presidency’s website were available for journalistic purposes only, and any other use needed the government’s consent. This strange situation, that could give the president the power of approving the satire made at his expense, was itself the subject of various memes, which ultimately forced the government to step back. The article then discusses similar risks of a directive recently approved by the European Parliament, which, under the flag of protecting copyright, may have a controversial chilling effect in the creation of memes and satiric videos.

I do not intend to write an exhaustive study of the history of Franco-German relations since the capitulation of Germany on May 8, 1945. Such an undertaking is hardly possible in the present state of documentation. It seems to me more useful to concentrate on the essential characteristics of these relations and present them from an objective French point of view, as is natural for a French historian. The subject of French public opinion with regard to Germany has extremely interesting aspects which scholars, educated people from abroad and especially the average citizens of various countries of the world, find it difficult to understand. It is bseyond doubt that, in a country with a democratic constitution like France, public opinion exercises a considerable influence on the government. But conversely the government's influence on public opinion cannot be overlooked. It happens that in France the policy towards Germany since 1945 has been determined by a very small number of men: General de Gaulle, Georges Bidault, Robert Schuman, André François Poncet, René Pleven, Gilbert Grandval (the last to a lesser extent: he is concerned with the Saar problem).

Broad Outline

In this paper I propose to bring before you a broad outline of our knowledge of the subject, not from the point of view of a botanist, but purely from the point of view of an engineer.Although in ancient, and in fact during all time, timber has been extensively used for constructional purposes, our knowledge of it is comparatively small, whilst the subject itself is very extensive.The reason for these facts is not hard to find. Unfortunately the physicist has not in general had to deal with timber in the progress of physical research, as he has with metals; and the questions which concern the engineer are not in general those with which the botanist deals.There has been comparatively little incentive for engineers to do much work on timber, as before the advent of the aeroplane its application was limited to unimportant parts, except in America and the Colonies, where the cost of metal parts is high. A considerable amount of information has in recent years been published by the American Government Forestry Department; the Government of New South Wales, Australia, have also published a considerable amount of data on Australian timbers.

Creation of close-to-nature river beds is one of the results of watercourses revitalization. Watercourses are segments in the country increasing its recreational potential.The recreational potential of watercourses contributes to rich diversity of animal and plant species. They are well-preserved natural environment with a different atmosphere and an interesting psychological effect. The current goal of revitalization measures in the landscape primarily consists of the optimization of landscape water regime, incl. flood control measures and the promotion of biodiversity, but the current philosophy speaks of multifunctional land usage. However, the revitalization is currently underappreciated in the Czech Republic and it is important to increase the recreational potential of the landscape. The subject of this article is evaluation of close to nature watercources from the point of view of recreation potential. The example locality of close to nature watercourse is part of Váh river near Iľava city. In this area some elements of recreational potential by the proposed methodology are discussed. Two river courses make a possible comparison between a technical canal and a modified one, but close-to-nature water course with all parameters of river phenomenon. Properties of nature and close-to-nature watercourses could be an inspiration for repairing(modifying, adjusting) river stretches within urban space.

This study aims to determine how the Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk or CWLS program is in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic and its implications for economic resilience. The system pioneered and implemented by the Indonesian Waqf Board or BWI is an interesting matter to study. In addition, based on the analysis of the CWLS research VOSViewer software, not many have researched it. Researchers use policy making theory which is used as a research point of view. This research is a descriptive qualitative research. The results of this study indicate that the CWLS waqf system is a form of social investment in Indonesia. The Indonesian Waqf Board acts as an accelerator. The subject of this system is the cash waqf itself collected by BWI as the manager of Indonesian waqf or Nazhir through BNI Syariah and Bank Muamalat Indonesia as Islamic Financial Institutions Receiving Cash Waqf or LKSPWU. Then the cash waqf will later be managed and placed in the State Sukuk Instrument or State Sharia Securities (SBSN) issued by the Ministry of Finance (Kemenkeu). CWLS itself also implements economic resilience. It can be seen on the BWI website on Cash Waqf Linked Sukuk (CWLS) that the government will use the results of the issuance of this State Sukuk to finance the state budget, including to finance the development of public service projects such as the development of educational infrastructure and religious services

SummaryIn the Marinelli chair, a geometry widely used in whole body counting, the lower part of the leg is seen quite inefficiently by the detector. The present paper describes an attempt to modify the standard chair geometry to minimise this limitation. The subject sits crossed-legged in the “Buddha Posture” in the standard chair. Studies with humanoid phantoms and a volunteer sitting in the Buddha posture show that this modification brings marked improvement over the Marinelli chair both from the point of view of sensitivity and uniformity of spatial response.

Relevance. Grain is the key to strategic products to ensure food security. From this point of view, the creation of large grain farms is a matter for the country's selfsufficiency and it leading to a decrease in financial expense for import. Creation of such farms creates an abundance of productivity from the area and leads to obtaining increased reproductive seeds. The main policy of the government is to minimize dependency from import, create abundance of food and create favorable conditions for export potential.The purpose of the study: the development of grain production in order to ensure food security of the country and strengthen government support for this industry.Methods: comparative analysis, systems approach.Results. As shown in the research, if we pay attention to the activities of private entrepreneurship in the country, we can see result of the implementation of agrarian reforms after which various types of farms have been created in republic.The role of privateentrepreneurshipinthedevelopmentofproduction is great. Тhe article outlines the sowing area, production, productivity, import, export of grain and the level of selfsufficiency in this country from 2015 till 2017.

Cash waqf in Indonesia has been long enough implemented based on some rules enacted by government and other rules defined by The Waqf Board of Indonesia (BWI). However, the implementation of cash waqf has not reached the level of success. Therefore, this article studies the application of cash waqf law in Indonesia according to Friedman’s legal system theory. The legal system theory of Friedman firstly looks at the substance of the law, which is the rules or regulations; and secondly it examines the structure of the law, encompassing the law enforcement agencies, such as judge, prosecutor, police and legal counselors. And lastly the theory examines the element of legal culture, which is a response from Muslim society. The first two examinations indicate that there is nothing to be a problem. But from the last examination there is a problem regarding the trust from Muslim society. From the legal culture point of view, the implementation of cash waqf by the government, which is performed by BWI, needs attracting society’s credentials in order to improve and maximize the performance of cash waqf in Indonesia.
