Research Period

This study was done with the aim to comparatively analyze the taxonomic and phytogeographical spectrum of lawns along the Belgrade roads. The analysis was done using the results of a floristic research done in 2001, combined with results of the field research conducted in 2019. A comparative analysis of the obtained results has shown that a lower heterogeneity of the floral elements and plant taxa was recorded in the studied lawns in 2019, when compared to the previous research period. Such a reduction in heterogeneity is the result of more intensive measures of lawn care, and of a stronger anthropogenic influence, which has led to a homogenization of the lawn flora.

Research Period

The authors of the study present an analysis of the structure and changes in the examined community of ptyctimous mites (Acari: Acariformes: Oribatida) found in Dorrigo National Park in Australia. The research was conducted during two periods: between 1990 and 1993 and later in 2007. The analysed mite community comprises 35 species, though, the dominance and frequency of particular species were different for each period. In the first research period (1990–1993) in the area of Dorrigo National Park, 28 species were recorded, whereas in 2007 – 23 species were found. There were 16 species that occurred in both research periods, and 12 species only in the samples collected in the 90’s, and 7 species only in those collected in 2007. The analysis also embraces the geographical distribution of the species in the area of Australia. Three species were designated as endemic, occurring only in the area of the examined national park (Austrophthiracarus dissonus Niedbała et Collof, 1997, Austrophthiracarus parapulchellus Niedbała, 2006 and Notophthiracarus distinctus Niedbała, 1989). The analysed samples contained only few specimens of these species. Due to the low abundance, great rarity of the local populations and high endemism, these species should be regarded as potentially endangered (EN according to the IUCN scale). A comparative analysis of the community from Dorrigo National Park (New South Wales) with those found in other larger areas of Australia in Victoria (Otway Ranges Area, Yarra Ranges Area, Strzelecki Ranges Area and Errinundra Plateau Area) examined by Niedbała and Szywilewska-Szczykutowicz (2017) has revealed that the communities found in Dorrigo National Park contained far more species, which constituted 30% of the whole fauna of Australia. In contrast to the communities of ptyctimous mites from Dorrigo, the individual communities in the area of Victoria contained only between 5% and 14% of all known species in Australia from this group.

The work describes the scouring process downstream of boulder block ramps on Poniczanka Stream in Ponice village. The depth of the downstream scouring rate was calculated using empirical formulae due to different authors. The results of the calculations were verified basing on the field measurements. Finally only those formulae which results were most consistent with field observations and those with were the worst consistent with field observations are presented along a paper. Thus the aim of the study was to verify the existing formulae of the scouring depth calculation downstream of block ramp hydraulic structure on the basis of the results of field research. It was found that the empirical relationships for calculating the scouring depth in observed case are not satisfied enough, however they can be used for comparative analysis for designers.

The article presents a comparative analysis of maturity level in Industry 4.0, of Brazilian companies with German Industry, seeking to identify learning opportunities to increase competitiveness. It was used the maturity model in Industry 4.0 developed by VDMA (German Mechanical Engineering Industry Association), applied to German companies, serving as benchmark. The same model was applied to Brazilian companies, from the State of Espírito Santo, located in the most developed region of the country, but with lower industrial density, and which has great challenges to increase its participation in the national and international markets. A field research was carried out with 46 industries, which participated in workshops to understand the fundamentals and to evaluate the maturity level in Industry 4.0. The individual results were processed by the platform of VDMA, indicating the levels in six dimensions of the model and the general result on a scale of 0 to 5. The results of all companies were tabulated, allowing the comparison with the research carried out with German companies. The study showed that, on average, Brazilian companies have the same level of maturity of German companies in readiness for Industry 4.0, with grade 0.9 in a scale of 0 to 5. But, there are significant differences in compared dimensions. 5.6% of German companies are at the advanced level in Industry 4.0, especially the technology developers, while Brazilian companies studied are still at the most basic levels. Both Industries are skeptical about investments in Industry 4.0 and the level of evaluation on Strategy dimension is still low. The comparison of expectations and difficulties allowed identify essential points to support these companies to follow the way to Industry 4.0.

Abstrak. Penelitian rekonstruksi bentuk Candi di Sumatera perlu dilakukan dikarenakan Candi di Sumatera umumnya hanya tersisa bagian kaki,  sehingga penelitian mengenai langgam dan terkait budaya sulit dilakukan. Selain itu kajian pemaknaan bentuk dan perumusan langgam arsitektur candi perlu dilakukan kajian morfologi terlebih dahulu. Permasalahan yang dijumpai pada situs percandian di Sumatera adalah tidak semua candi di Sumatera memiliki bentuk yang utuh melainkan mayoritas hanya menyisakan bagian dasar candi dan paling lengkap hanya badan candi, hal ini apabila dibiarkan maka masalah ini akan tetap mengambang tanpa ada solusi ke depan. Berdasarkan permasalahan tersebut diperlukan kajian tafsiran bentuk candi secara utuh. Dari beberapa penelitian umumnya menggunakan metode komparasi dengan melihat bangunan-bangunan candi di Indonesia akan tetapi metode  urutan rekonstruksi bentuk tidak begitu rinci, di dalam  penelitian ini metode yang digunakan adalah metode kualitatif dan bersifat penelitian lapangan. Adapun analisis data yang dilakukan menggunakan analisis morfologi dan komparasi, data hasil pengukuran candi Padang Roco dirumuskan angka perbandingannya. Berdasarkan hasil rekonstruksi ditemukan bahwa bentuk  Candi Padang Roco memiliki gaya arsitektur yang berbeda dari candi di Indonesia pada umumnya mulai dari bentuk punden berundak seperti tipe candi di Indo-Cina. Bentuk candi ini juga serupa dengan keberadaan struktur kuno yang berbentuk punden berundak yang ditemukan di Lampung dan memiliki analogi dengan perabotan tradisional di Palembang juga serupa dengan punden berundak.Kata Kunci : Rekonstruksi, Bentuk, Proporsi, Candi ABSTRACT. Research on the reconstruction of temple form in Sumatera needs to be done because the temples in Sumatera generally only left with the base of the temple, so research on culture and culture-related is difficult. Besides that, the study of the meaning of the form and formulation of the temple architectural style needs to be carried out morphological study first. The problem encountered in the ensemble site in Sumatera is that not all of them have a complete form, but the majority only leaves the leg and most complete only the body parts of the temple. This problem will remain floating without any future solutions. Based on these problems, the researchers tried to begin by enlightening the study of how the interpretation of the temple form, which left the foot of the temple became the appearance of the temple as a whole. From several studies generally using the comparative method by looking at temple buildings in Indonesia but the purpose of explanation of the order of the reconstruction process is not very detailed, in this study the method used is qualitative and is field research. As for the data analysis carried out using morphological and comparative analysis, the data from the measurement of Padang Roco temple were compared. Based on the result of the reconstruction it was found that the shape of the Padang Roco temple had a different architectural style from the temples in Indonesia, in general, ranging from the form of Punden terraces such as the type of temple in Indo-China. The shape of the temple is also similar to the existence of ancient structure in the form of Punden terrace found in Lampung and have an analogy with traditional furniture in Palembang which is also identical to Punden form.Keywords : Reconstruction, Form, Proportion, Candi

This article discusses how the splinter movements in Indonesia, namely LDII (Lembaga Dakwah Islam Indonesia), MTA (Majlis Tafsir Al Quran) and JMI (Jam'iyyatul Islamiyah) can survive and develop against two constraints that are the state and Islamic orthodox group. The methods of this research-based article are both library and field research. This article uses comparative analysis from the three movements include their adaptive means to the social and political milieu in Indonesia. The movements start to grow in the 1970'. In New Order Era (1966-1998), under Suharto authoritarian regime, these movements use the state approach by joining Golkar, government political party, and help the party to win general elections. However, in the 1990 era, when Suharto starts to embrace the orthodox group, government protection to those religious groups is not enough to withstand the heretical issues that have already spread in public. The issues lead to physical persecution from the mass to these movements. Thus, the only way to survive from that conditions, the three movements start to make an approach to  orthodox groups, especially MUI (Majlis Ulama Indonesia) the mainstream group representative such as NU (Nahdlatul Ulama) and Muhammadiyah two biggest Islamic groups in Indonesia, by making dialogues and complying the Islamic mainstream standards issued by MUI.

Object of research - disturbed lands of Ingulets Iron Ore dressing Work (Ingulets GZK) The purpose of work - development and substantiation of technology of realization of principles of cascade waste use. Research methods – field experiment, comparative analysis, systems analysis. As part of the implementation of the cascade waste use principle, the results of research on the impact of the application of sewage sludge on formation of protosoils on the rocks of Ingulets GZK dumps are presented. The application of sewage sludge significantly increases the absorption capacity of overburden. A secondary soil absorbing complex is formed, which is able to accumulate and retain mineral nutrients of plants, especially calcium and magnesium cations. In the conditions of field research the influence of treatment of rocks with organic matter of sewage with introduction of seeds of perspective species was studied. Comparative analysis of vegetation shows a positive effect of the treatment of overburden with organic matter on productivity and morphometric performance of trees and shrubs. A comparison of the average condition of plant objects after treatment with organic matter and control studies shows the following: the vitality of herbaceous and tree species increases; the total projective cover and average height of plants increases; biodiversity.
