Human Capital, Higher Education Enrolment and Economic Growth in the SSA Countries (Panel Model Approach)
Authors: W. Akinola G. , G. Bokana K.
Published: January 2018

This study offers exploratory analysis on the relationship among human capital, higher education enrolment and economic growth in SSA countries. With data from twenty-two African countries across the four economic blocs, five variables which include human capital formation, capital stock, employment rate, total factor productivity and higher education enrolment were regressed against gross domestic product per capital. Panel analysis which includes fixed and random effects analyses were carried out. We report results from fixed effect (within) regression as Hausman test suggests. It was discovered that SADC countries perform better among the four economic blocs. To further study individual country specific effects, we employ least square dummy variables (LSDV). Sixteen countries out of twenty-two exhibit specific effects. Our findings revealed that enrolment rate of higher education in SSA have a very weak relationship with economic growth in the SSA countries. This reflects why there is a weak relationship between economic growth and the total factor productivity and consequently negative consequential effects on our total factor productivity. The main policy implication is that for SSA countries to maintain sustainable economic growth, home based human capital must be given a priority in the form of increased higher education budget and financing.

Przeprowadzone badania wskazują, że najważniejszymi determinantami dochodów gospodarstw rolnych w krajach Europy Środkowo-Wschodniej są: zasoby czynników wytwórczych, dotacje do działalności operacyjnej, wielkość produkcji i intensywność wytwarzania.
Typologia strategii oszczędnościowych wiejskich gospodarstw domowych (na przykładzie województwa małopolskiego)
Authors: Szafrańska Monika , Żmija Janusz
Published: January 2018

W opracowaniu podjęto próbę identyfikacji i charakterystyki poszczególnych typów strategii oszczędnościowych wiejskich gospodarstw domowych w województwie małopolskim, a także określenia motywów, którymi kierują się konsumenci podczas podejmowania decyzji o oszczędzaniu. W badaniach wykorzystano źródła pierwotne (kwestionariusz wywiadu – 394 respondentów) oraz wtórne. Na podstawie przeprowadzonych badań można stwierdzić, że wiejskie gospodarstwa domowe charakteryzują się małą skłonnością do oszczędzania. Prawie 60% respondentów nie posiadało jakichkolwiek oszczędności. Głównymi formami gromadzenia oszczędności przez wiejskie gospodarstwa domowe były lokaty bankowe i gotówka. Zgromadzone środki pieniężne stanowiły rezerwę na nieprzewidziane zdarzenia losowe, remont domu oraz zakup dóbr trwałego użytku. Wiejskie gospodarstwa domowe różnią się pod względem realizowanych strategii oszczędzania. W wyniku przeprowadzonej analizy wyodrębniono trzy strategie oszczędnościowe, wśród których dominującą była konserwatywna.
Wyniki produkcyjne i ekonomiczne wybranych typów gospodarstw rolnych w Polsce
Authors: Komorowska Dorota
Published: January 2018

Celem opracowania jest ocena wyników gospodarowania zasobami produkcyjnymi w wybranych typach gospodarstw rolnych, które należą do najbardziej licznych grup gospodarstw specjalistycznych w Polsce, czyli gospodarstw nastawionych na produkcję roślinną, specjalizujących się w produkcji mleka oraz produkcji żywca wieprzowego. Zaprezentowane w opracowaniu wyniki analiz wskazują na znacznie wyższy poziom wyników produkcyjnych i produktywności zasobów w gospodarstwach nastawionych na produkcję żywca wieprzowego w związku z dużym udziałem pasz z zakupu w żywieniu zwierząt, co warunkowało relatywnie dużą skalę produkcji. Dochodowość zasobów ukształtowała się na najwyższym poziomie w gospodarstwach nastawionych na produkcję mleka, ponieważ gospodarstwa mleczne uzyskały największe dochody.

Wybór metod finansowania ryzyka w polskich przedsiębiorstwach – wyniki badań ankietowych
Authors: Wieczorek-Kosmala Monika
Published: January 2018

Artykuł prezentuje wyniki badań ankietowych, których celem było zbadanie zastosowania metod finansowania ryzyka w przedsiębiorstwach. Retencja ryzyka i ubezpieczenie często są przedstawiane w literaturze jako skrajne alternatywy w obrębie możliwości finansowania ryzyka. Finansowanie ryzyka jest ważnym elementem decyzji finansowych przedsiębiorstwa, wpływającym również na efektywność jego działania (przez kategorię kosztu kapitału). Badania ankietowe przeprowadzono na próbie polskich przedsiębiorstw niefinansowych. Artykuł odnosi się do wyników tych badań w obszarze trzech sytuacji decyzyjnych: wyboru między retencją a ubezpieczeniem (jako alternatywami), finansowych ograniczeń dla zastosowania retencji oraz finansowych ograniczeń dla zastosowania transferu. Wyniki badań wskazują, że badane przedsiębiorstwa preferowały ubezpieczenie, co miało słaby (ale istotny statystycznie) związek z ich wielkością.
Znajomość i zaufanie wobec certyfikatów zrównoważonej konsumpcji a idea społecznej odpowiedzialności przedsiębiorstw w perspektywie młodych konsumentów
Authors: Nowacki Robert , Wasilik Katarzyna
Published: January 2018

Funkcjonowanie w warunkach zrównoważonego rozwoju wymaga od przedsiębiorstw uwzględniania nie tylko własnych interesów ekonomicznych, ale też zwracania uwagi na kwestie ogólnogospodarcze i społeczne, w tym dotyczące zrównoważonej konsumpcji. Celem artykułu jest analiza zależności między deklarowaną znajomością i zainteresowaniem działaniami z zakresu społecznej odpowiedzialności przedsiębiorstw (CSR) wśród młodych konsumentów a znajomością i zaufaniem wobec znaków, a także certyfikatów potwierdzających zrównoważoną produkcję. Podstawą rozważań są wyniki badania ilościowego prowadzonego na ogólnopolskiej próbie konsumentów w wieku 19–35 lat. Uzyskane wyniki badania pozwalają stwierdzić, że znajomość idei CSR w znacznie większym stopniu determinuje znajomość certyfikatów i zaufanie wobec nich niż cechy demograficzno-ekonomiczne młodych konsumentów.
Konkurencyjność polskich odmian orzechów laskowych w zależności od ich jakości określonej właściwościami fizykochemicznymi
Authors: Gantner Magdalena , Czernyszewicz Eugenia , Kopczyńska Klaudia , Król Katarzyna
Published: January 2018

Celem pracy jest porównanie jakości orzechów laskowych uprawianych w Polsce do orzechów importowanych, dokonane na podstawie oceny zmian ich właściwości fizykochemicznych w zależności od zastosowanych parametrów prażenia. Materiałem badawczym były orzechy dwóch odmian leszczyny uprawianej w Polsce: ‘Olbrzym z Halle’ i ‘Cosford’. Próbki poddano obróbce cieplnej w dziewięciu kombinacjach: w temperaturze 110°C, 130°C i 160°C, każda w czasie 15, 30 i 60 min. Badano takie parametry, jak: aktywność wody, barwa powierzchni łuski wewnętrznej (brązowej) i powierzchni czystego jądra orzecha oraz jego twardość. Proces prażenia spowodował obniżenie aktywności wody, zmniejszenie jasności (L*) jąder orzechów laskowych niezależnie od odmiany i wzrost wartości indeksu brązowienia (BI). Głównym parametrem decydującym o tych zmianach była temperatura. Ponadto, wraz ze zwiększaniem się temperatury procesu, twardość orzechów zmniejszała się, a ich struktura stawała się bardziej krucha i delikatna. Orzechy odmiany ‘Cosford’ charakteryzowały się większą twardością w stanie surowym w porównaniu do orzechów odmiany ‘Olbrzym z Halle’. Najwyższą jakość orzechów niezależnie od odmiany zapewniało prażenie w 130°C przez 30 min. Orzechy obu odmian prażone w tych parametrach charakteryzowały się porównywalną, dużą łatwością w usuwaniu z nich brązowej łuski wewnętrznej. Dobór optymalnych parametrów procesów technologicznych może wpłynąć na poprawę właściwości przetwórczych orzechów laskowych uprawianych w Polsce, co w konsekwencji umożliwi osiągnięcie konkurencyjności względem zagranicznych odmian i zwiększy szansę ich eksportu, a także wykorzystanie ich krajowej produkcji cukierniczej.
A numerical analysis of pollutant dispersion in street canyon: influence of the turbulent Schmidt number
Authors: Abed Bouabdellah , Bouarbi Lakhdar , Bouzit Mohamed , Hamidou Mohamed-Kamel
Published: January 2018

Realizing the growing importance and availability of motor vehicles, we observe that the main source of pollution in the street canyons comes from the dispersion of automobile engine exhaust gas. It represents a substantial effect on the micro-climate conditions in urban areas. Seven idealized-2D building configurations are investigated by numerical simulations. The turbulent Schmidt number is introduced in the pollutant transport equation in order the take into account the proportion between the rate of momentum turbulent transport and the mass turbulent transport by diffusion. In the present paper, we attempt to approach the experimental test results by adjusting the values of turbulent Schmidt number to its corresponding application. It was with interest that we established this link for achieving our objectives, since the numerical results agree well with the experimental ones. The CFD code ANSYS CFX, the k, e and the RNGk-e models of turbulence have been adopted for the resolutions. From the simulation results, the turbulent Schmidt number is a range of 0.1 to 1.3 that has some effect on the prediction of pollutant dispersion in the street canyons. In the case of a flat roof canyon configuration (case: runa000), appropriate turbulent Schmidt number of 0.6 is estimated using the k-epsilon model and of 0.5 using the RNG k-e model.

Authors: Szymański Nikodem , Dąbrowski Piotr , Kalaji Hazem , Lohse Detlev , Panchal Balaji , Zabochnicka-Świątek Magdalena
Published: January 2018

Natural water reservoirs are very important ecosystems thus they should be under continuous monitoring and protection. In water of low quality, the algal blooms develop develops vastly. The knowledge of algal species composition is necessary for understanding this process. There are a few traditional group-specific methods of microalgae classification, but they are often labour-intense and time-consuming. Moreover, the samples must be prepared and/or collected before getting any results. Non-invasive chlorophyll fluorescence analysis offers an alternative approach and potentially allows in situ estimation of algal concentration. In this work the fluorometric methods to estimate algae content in water and to differentiate algal populations is presented.

Authors: Winiarek Przemysław , Kruk Aneta
Published: January 2018

The aim of the study was to assess the quality of soils underneath operating railway lines. The lines selected for the examination were outside the reach of external sources of potential pollution. The samples were collected along a plain line section after and before an upgrade work, within the station area and in a railway equipment repair yard. The assessment covered the following types of sections: single-track, double-track, with wooden and concrete sleepers, adjacent to switches subject to lubrication, in the car shunting yard and visibly contaminated areas. The samples were tested for the content of PAH, zinc, copper, lead and PCB. The study did not find evidence of increased levels of the above-listed compounds as compared to the levels found in arable soils located in the vicinity of the line or of their influence on adjacent lands. The content of the examined compounds did not differ depending on the type of line section or its properties. The content of PAH, considered one of the main railway-related pollutants, was sufficiently low to classify the soil along the line and within the station area as unpolluted or slightly polluted.

Importance and Comparative Advantages of the EU and US Agri-food Sector in World Trade in 1995-2015
Authors: Pawlak Karolina
Published: January 2018

The aim of the paper was to examine the evolution of the importance and comparative advantages of the EU and US agri-food sector in world trade in 1995-2015. The research is based on data from UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) resources. The following indicators were used in the comparative advantage analysis: Balassa’s Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA), Vollrath’s Revealed Competitiveness (RC), the Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA), and the Lafay’s Trade Balance Index (TBI). In 1995-2015, the EU countries and the US were the largest players of world trade in agri-food products. The EU countries held comparative advantages in the global market as regards exports of products of animal origin whereas the exports of cereals, preparations of cereals, oilseeds and oleaginous fruits and meat products were the source of revealed comparative advantages for the US. Both the EU countries and the US reached high comparative advantages in trade in those assortment groups which corresponded to their highest shares in global exports and generated a high, consistently increasing positive trade balance. Therefore, their comparative advantages were the source of their favourable export specialisation profile, which is consistent with the classical comparative costs principle.
Linear and Non-linear Relationships Between Shares of the Agri-food Industries of the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Risk Aspect
Authors: Pera Jacek
Published: January 2018

Despite a wide range of research on the agricultural market conducted so far, relatively little attention has been devoted to a comprehensive analysis of linear and non-linear causality in relation to the entire agri-food sector in Poland, in the context of risk. The objective of this study is therefore to analyze the linear and non-linear relationships between shares of WSE's agri-food industry sectors in terms of risk. The study covered three sectors of agri-food sector currently existing on the WSE (29 listed companies): Foods (21 listed companies), Agricultural Production and Fisheries (5 listed companies) and Food and Foodstuffs and fast-trafficking foodstuffs (3 listed companies). The existence of linear relationships was verified using the test procedure proposed by Hong, Liu, Wang and Łęt, while non-linear relationships were verified using the Diks-Panchenko, Orzeszko and Osińska tests’s. The study was carried out on the basis of data from companies of the agri-food industry listed on the Warsaw Stock Exchange in the period from 1 May 2010 to 1 May 2017. The chosen research methodology was dictated by the correlation with investment risk on the WSE. The strongest and most enduring dependencies have been found in the agricultural and fisheries sectors. In the foodstuff sector and the fast-marketable sector, the risk of investment in the listed companies was temporary.

The objective of this study was to present the legal status of functional food production and sales, as well as analyse the possibilities of developing customized foods, in particular, highly satiating foods. In this time of obesity epidemic, the use of specifically designed food products which suppress hunger and give the feeling of satiety could be an effective tool in preventing obesity and controlling body mass. There is an optimistic prognoses that this type of food will be introduced on the Polish market.
Vegetables Price Volatility in Poland – Onion and Carrot Case
Authors: Zaremba Łukasz
Published: January 2018

There are the producers who takes the weakest position on the agricultural market. Their activity is especially exposed to the risk factors. Price volatility which stays behind the price risk is one of the most important threats for producers’ incomes. Economic stability is a base for investment and development. That is why the price volatility is worth to having a look at. There are two species examined in this paper: onion and carrot. Both have a significant share in Polish vegetable production. Onion crops are mostly exported but carrot is being sold on the domestic market. Apart from the sales market there was no significant difference in analyzed period between farm-gate price volatility for both species. The measured volatility was getting lower in consecutive years of analyzed period; only in years of unfavorable weather conditions there were some growth. The analyze was conducted with usage of descriptive statistic on the logarithmic rates of return.

Published: January 2018

The aim of the paper is to assess the implementation of selected sustainable development objectives in European Union countries with particular focus on Poland. Several different indicators were taken into account: greenhouse gas emission, share of renewable energy, GDP energy intensity and protection of environment and biodiversity, which cover goals set in The Europe 2020 Strategy, among others: reduction of carbon dioxide emission, increase share of renewable energy usage, increase the effectiveness of energy usage, preservation of biodiversity. It was found, that European Union countries generally strive towards achieving those goals, though the effectiveness differs among them. Poland positively pursues all discussed issues. However, is not the leader in any of them. It is important to underline, that analysed data seem to allow to say, that it is possible to achieve objectives set in Europa 2020 Strategy.
Review of Inclusive Growth and other Alternatives to Confront Authoritarian Populism
Authors: Getahun Saleamlak
Published: January 2018

Our world has gone through myriad forms of administrative and economic ideological eras, some of which helped positively and others contributed regressively. Recently, the rise of authoritarian populism as an alternative path to mainstream democracy stems from the failure of inclusiveness in the political and economic institutions especially in the rural world. Due to extractive capitalism, nowadays, rural areas are characterized by persistent poverty, deep inequalities, marginalization and exclusion, fractured identities and loss of self-esteem, which in turn engenders a regressive politics dubbed 'authoritarian populism'. It endangers our future unless we confront it and it has gained momentum by winning national elections in some countries. Alternatively, inclusive growth that would successfully share benefits to the rural people via inclusive political and economic institutions could be able to transform the rural poor. Endorsing and supporting this option with emancipatory rural politics, therefore, saves globalization from a looming collapse and ultimately culminates the world to a new level of civilization.
A Retrospective Evaluation of Rural Populations: Social and Economic Challenges, Expectations and Evaluation
Authors: Hubeni Yuriy , Boiko Vitalii , Olishchuk Petro
Published: January 2018

In 1996 and 2016, respectively, the Independent Creative Group (ICG) conducted a comprehensive sociological study "Economic reform - the eye of the village." The aim of the project was to explore the evaluation of economic reform of rural populations in 5 areas: a) economic reform; b) quality of life and expectations; c) businesses; d) agricultural transformation; e) development of farming. The research was conducted in the form of "sociological fixation" expectations, estimates and other reactions to social challenges. The object of the study was a typical village of the Lviv region. The study confirmed the simultaneous increase of confidence in economic transformation and the growth of pessimism in the impact of reforms. The rural population understands the goals and objectives of reforms, and supports private property and the market economy. The standard of living has improved significantly, but it does not cover the real expectations of the population. Farmers understand the role and importance of entrepreneurship and accept new business entities. The study showed significant structural changes in the views and assessments of rural residents of the Lviv region. There is obvious public awareness of fundamental lifestyle changes in the countryside.

This is primarily due to the need to function in a multicultural environment, growing competition and population aging. This article is an attempt to systematise knowledge about human capital and its use in the labour market. Attention is being drawn to the effective use of capital, including implementation of European strategies, as well as trends and challenges facing key employment issues. In addition, an effort has been made to identify key employee competencies reflecting global labour market trends. The article shows the importance of quality and investment in human resources, which is associated with the use of EU projects and programmes targeted at young people on the labour market.
Changes in Consumer Food Preferences in EU Countries from 2001-2013
Authors: Koszela Grzegorz , Ochnio Luiza
Published: January 2018

This paper attempts to rank EU countries according to changes in consumer food preferences between 2001 and 2013. The size of these changes was determined using a synthetic rate created for this purpose. This rate was intended to accommodate changes in consumption levels in 9 product groups per capita. It turns out that we may use the greatest possible measure of the structure’s dissimilarity as an analogy to the Gini coefficient, to express this rate. Using the “ar” measure to compare structures of food consumption in two separate three-year time periods for each country, scientists may rank and group the countries according to the value of changes in consumer food preferences.
The Elasticity of Agricultural Income in the EU Member States Under Different Cost Structures
Authors: Kryszak Łukasz , Staniszewski Jakub
Published: January 2018

The aim of this paper was to determine whether the EU countries which vary in terms of their cost structure in agriculture, differ also with regard to the influence of capital-labour ratio and land supply per worker on labour profitability. It was assumed that data concerning the presence and character of those differences can contribute to better understanding of the nature of agricultural development in the EU countries. The main sources of data used in this paper were the Economic Accounts for Agriculture (Eurostat) and the FAOStat database. The study covered the period of 2004-2014. In the article it was shown that agriculture in the EU countries is varied in terms of cost structure, and in the cluster II, including mostly the countries of the so-called “new” EU, intermediate consumption is of relatively larger significance for their cost structure. In the countries of the “old” EU an important role is played by the depreciation of buildings and external services. Stronger influence of capital-labour ratio on the payment to the factor of labour was observed in the cluster II countries. In those countries, increasing capital expenditures was a more efficient strategy to increase income.

Para uma visão triangulada dos direitos em creche: análise com base no manifesto epistolar de Malaguzzi
Authors: Araújo Sara
Published: January 2018

No texto Uma carta dos três direitos , Loris Malaguzzi expressa, de forma integrada e equânime, a valorização de direitos de crianças, pais e educadores em instituições de educação de infância. Com base nesse documento, de cunho político e ético marcadamente participativo, discutem-se possibilidades pedagógicas em instituições de educação e cuidados a crianças nos primeiros três anos de vida, percebidas demasiadas vezes enquanto loci potenciais de negligência e/ou subtração desses direitos. Algumas circunstâncias da realidade portuguesa, sobretudo de natureza sociopolítica, que tem representado um condicionamento à qualidade das experiências cotidianas nos contextos de creche são analisadas. Transversalmente, é apontada a centralidade da(s) pedagogia(s) de raiz participativa na materialização de uma visão triangulada dos direitos, relativa a crianças, profissionais e famílias.

O processo de retirada de fraldas na escola de educação infantil, um ambiente marcado pela vida cotidiana coletiva, é problematizado, visando compreender por que são adotadas certas maneiras e posturas em detrimento de outras. A prática diária de retirada de fraldas é um tema esquecido ou pouco estudado no âmbito acadêmico da pedagogia, assim, este estudo baseia-se nos seguintes questionamentos: existe um momento certo para a retirada de fraldas? Quem o define? Como o define? Qual a relação entre essa prática social e a discussão curricular na educação infantil?
Trabalho de projeto no cotidiano da pré-escola: do que está se falando?
Authors: Pinazza Mônica , Siqueira Sandra Regina
Published: January 2018

O trabalho de projeto desenvolvido com um grupo do último período pré-escolar foi analisado à luz dos conceitos de “experiência” e de “ato reflexivo”, trazidos pela pedagogia progressiva e construtiva de John Dewey, e da definição de “ato intencional”, desenvolvido por William Kilpatrick. Na análise, os preceitos desses pensadores são reunidos à visão psicológica socioconstrutivista do conhecimento de Lev Vygotsky para a compreensão dos elementos definidores do trabalho de projeto. O exame das realizações no âmbito do projeto permitiu identificar como elas podem compor o cotidiano da pré-escola, em uma perspectiva curricular própria das pedagogias participativas.

Pedagogia do cotidiano: reivindicações do currículo para a formação de professores
Authors: Carvalho Rodrigo , Fochi Paulo
Published: January 2018

Com base nas contribuições da pedagogia da infância, discutem-se indicativos que possam estruturar a reflexão sobre a formação de professores para a educação infantil, tendo em vista a invenção e a operacionalização de uma pedagogia do cotidiano. Para tanto, metodologicamente, analisa-se um conjunto de relatórios de estágios curriculares, por meio dos quais se evidencia a maneira como as professoras em formação inicial consideram o cotidiano enquanto catalizador das experiências das crianças no que diz respeito à construção do currículo. Segundo as análises realizadas, conclui-se que a formação inicial de professores pode ser um potente modo de promover a construção de uma pedagogia do cotidiano que acolha as crianças com seus peculiares jeitos de ser, de viver e de habitar o mundo.

La relación mente-materia y el monismo neutral
Authors: Alemañ Berenguer Rafael Andrés
Published: January 2018

Resumen: El problema de las relaciones ontológicas y gnoseológicas entre la mente y la materia (y en concreto, de la mente y el cerebro), parece haberse saldado en los últimos años con la victoria del materialismo monista. En el presente artículo se pretende reivindicar la teoría del monismo neutral como una alternativa viable, capaz de incorporar algunas de las ventajas del materialismo emergentista y tomando la noción de relación como elemento neutral básico.Palabras clave: Mente, materia, cerebro, monismo, neutral, relación. Summary: The problem of mind-matter (and specifically mind-brain) ontologic and gnoseologic relations seems to have come finally to an end with the victory of the monist materialism. This paper, on the contrary, aims to plead for the theory of neutral monism as a plausible alternative, which is able to embody some advantages of emergentist materialism, taking the notion of relation as a basic neutral entity.Keywords: Mind, matter, brain, monism, neutral, relation. Recibido: 25/07/2011 Aprobado: 17/01/2012

Resumen: El objetivo de este artículo es discutir la propuesta de naturalización de la epis­temología que se presenta en el libro «La Evolución del Conocimiento» de Antonio Diéguez Lucena. La conclusión a la que se llega es que el planteamiento de este autor no consigue superar el argumento antinaturalista basado en la evolución (EAAN) de Alvin Plantinga. Y se argumenta que posiblemente ningún intento de naturalización de la epis­temología puede ser capaz de superar este argumento. Por lo que es probable que el enfoque naturalista de la epistemología conduzca a una vía muerta.Palabraza clave: Abstract: The aim of this paper is to discuss the naturalization of epistemology presented in the book «La Evolución del Conocimiento» by Antonio Diéguez Lucena. The conclu­sion reached is that the approach of this author can not overcome the evolutionary argument against naturalism (EAAN) of Alvin Plantinga. Moreover, it will be argued that possibly no attempt to naturalize epistemology may be able to overcome this argument. So it is likely that the naturalistic approach to epistemology leads to a dead end.Key words: Recibido: 23/10/2011. Aprobado: 17/01/2012

Hegel on the Absolute, with a Blumenbergian Twist
Authors: Ifergan Pini
Published: January 2018

Resumen: Este artículo no busca solucionar la cuestión del sentido y de la relevancia del concepto hegeliano de Absoluto. Más bien, busca arrojar nueva luz sobre la posibilidad de una relación con el Absoluto, que es, la posibilidad de que el Absoluto sea algo -una entidad con la que nosotros, en tanto que sujetos, podemos tener una relación real. Para la plausibiilidad de mi lectura del Absoluto, comienzo ofreciendo una interpretación del «Fragmento de sistema» de Hegel. Intento, entonces, dar sustancia a la idea de tal relación trayendo a colación el pensamiento de Hans Blumenberg, sorprendentemente, un pensador no hegeliano. Tras mostrar que también Blumengerg, pugna con la cuestión de nuestra relación con el absoluto,  aunque en un contexto completamente diferente, arguyo que la lectura de Blumenberg del absoluto, como un transformdo contra el que la humanidad se posiciona persistentemente, sugiere una nueva dirección, plena de sentido, en los esfuerzos actuales para interpretar el Absoluto hegeliano.Palabras clave: Hegel - absoluto - espíritu - dios- hans blumenbergAbstract: This article does not seek to settle the question of the meaning and significance of Hegel’s notion of the Absolute. Rather, it seeks to shed new light on the possibility of a relationship with the Absolute, that is, the possibility that the Absolute is something – some entity that we, as subjects, can have a real relation to. To make my case for the plausibility of my reading of the Absolute, I begin by offering an interpretation of Hegel’s “System Fragment.” I then attempt to add substance to the idea of such a relationship by adducing the thought of Hans Blumenberg, a strikingly ‘non-Hegelian’ thinker. After showing that Blumenberg, too, struggled with the question of our relation to the absolute, albeit in a completely different context, I argue that Blumenberg’s reading of the absolute, as a backdrop against which humankind persistently positions itself, suggests a meaningful new direction in the ongoing efforts to interpret the Hegelian Absolute.Key words: Hegel - Absolute - Spirit - God - Hans Blumenberg

Published: January 2018

Aim: This study is to determine effect of contamination level of population settlement activity on water quality in the reservoir at west Sunter by measurements of reservoir water quality in the form of physical and chemical parameters including the identification of the kinetics of COD. Methodology and Result:  This research was conducted in April to August 2016 with 11 sampling locations. Research indicated that the reservoir had experienced heavy pollution with DO value ranging between 1.05 mg/L-1.52 mg/L with a minimum quality standard of 3 mg/L, Ammonia 0.13 mg/L-0.38 mg/L with a quality standard of 0.02 mg/L, surfactant (1.74 mg/L-4.63 mg/L) quality standard of 0.2 mg/L and phosphate (0.8 mg/L-1:19 mg/L) to the quality standard of 1 mg/L. Reservoir also were polluted with heavy loads inclusion of organic content with COD values ranging between 112.58 mg/L - 196.39 mg/L. The source of pollution in the west Sunter reservoir was derived from domestic sewage. Based on the average constant value it takes 16.96 hours to reduce the COD from 120 mg/L to 40 mg/L. Natural Retention time at West Sunter Reservoir is 13.6 days. Conclusion, significance and impact study: Domestic waste has obviously contaminated West Sunter reservoir from its physically green color, high organic content with high COD values, low DO, high oil and fat content, and high phosphate levels. These polluted compounds must be removed before spreading to the next water body. If the reservoir is considered as a reactor site, then the reservoir must be able to remove the contaminants before disposal.

Published: January 2018

Pertambangan batubara sering dikaitkan dengan Air Asam Tambang (AAT) yang dihasilkan oleh penimbunan material overburden yang mengandung mineral sulfida. Sebuah alternatif praktis untuk meminimalkan pembentukan AAT adalah menghindari kontak antara air, udara dan mineral sulfida menggunakan bahan yang tidak permeabel atau mineral lempung yang dipadatkan sebagai bahan penutup. Metode ini dikenal sebagai metode enkapsulasi, dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengurangi porositas dan menjadikan batuan bersifat tidak permeabel sehingga mengurangi laju difusi oksigen dan infiltrasi air ke dalam timbunan batuan yang mengandung mineral sulfida. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami karakteristik pemadatan beberapa jenis batuan overburden batubara yang akan digunakan sebagai material penudung (capping material). Pengujian kompaksi dilakukan delapan buah sampel batuan yang diambil dari tambang batubara Wara Blok I, PT. Adaro Indonesia, di Kalimantan Selatan. Analisis laboratorium, meliputi analisis fisik, batas-batas Atterberg, dan dilakukan uji pemadatan serta uji permeabilitas. Uji pemadatan dilakukan dengan menggunakan uji proctor standar sedangkan uji konduktivitas menggunakan uji tinggi jatuh (falling head test). Hasil uji konduktivitas hidrolik pada delapan sampel menunjukan ada hubungan antara karakteristik fisik tanah yang diperoleh dari hasil uji pemadatan dengan nilai konduktivitas hidrolik. Beberapa peneliti sebelumnya menyatakan bahwa material yang akan dijadikan sebagai material penudung harus memiliki nilai konduktivitas hidrolik sebesar 1x10-9 m/s. Berdasarkan penelitian yang telah dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa sampel yang mendekati nilai konduktivitas hidrolik yang disarankan adalah W112, W122, W123, W123, dan W1DP, sedangkan sampel yang memiliki nilai konduktivitas hidrolik di bawah yang disarankan adalah sampel W121. Kata-Kata Kunci: Air asam tambang, enkapsulasi, pemadatan, konduktivitas hidrolik.
