Performance of Absolute Real-Time Multi-GNSS Kinematic Positioning
Authors: Kazmierski Kamil 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Recently, we observe the rapid development of the Global Navigational Satellite Systems (GNSS), including autonomous positioning techniques, such as Precise Point Positioning (PPP). The GNSS have different conceptions, different spacecraft and use different types of orbits which is why the quality of real-time orbit and clock products is inconsistent, thus, the appropriate approach of the multi-GNSS observation processing is needed to optimize the solution quality. In this paper, the kinematic field experiment is conducted in order to examine multi-GNSS real-time Standard Point Positioning (SPP) and PPP performance. The test was performed on the 26 km-long car route through villages, forests, the city of Wrocław, crossing under viaducts and a high tension line. For the first time, the solution is based on GPS + GLONASS + Galileo + BeiDou observations using streamed corrections for orbits and clocks with two different weighting scenarios. Thanks to the usage of the multi-GNSS constellation the number of positioning epochs possible to determine increases by 10%. The results show also that the appropriate weighting approach can improve the root mean square error in the SPP solution by about 13% and 42% for the horizontal and vertical coordinate components, respectively. In the case of PPP, the maximum quality improvement equals 70% for the horizontal component and the results for the vertical component are comparable with those obtained for the GPS-only solution.

Abstract
Browsing and bark peeling by ungulates is known to affect biodiversity and may constitute the main driving factor of single tree population dynamics. In Slovakia, European yew (Taxus baccata L.) is a threatened species protected by law and present in many protected areas. In the study, we emphasize that protecting land and individual plants may not be sufficient for maintaining of yew populations, unless controlling over damage by deer game is also undertaken. Our results show that in beech forests of the Veľká Fatra Mts, browsing and bark peeling constitute the main negative factor affecting yew seedling-sapling ingrowth transition, and the mortality and vitality loss of adult yew trees. We argue that ungulates may have a larger effect on biodiversity conservation than currently realized.
Drought and water mobilization in semi-arid zone: The example of Hammam Boughrara dam (North-West of Algeria)
Authors: Adjim Hayat , Djedid Abdelkader 
Published: June 2018

AbstractThe dam of Hammam Boughrara is an embankment dam built in a transboundary basin, between Algeria and Morocco; it was type-approved and delivered in 1998. This dam was supposed to solve the lack of drinking water in Oran (Algeria's second largest city) and enhance the agricultural perimeter of the area. It should regulate an annual water volume of 59 million m3. However, the northwest Algeria has experienced a fairly severe drought since the 80s. This article aims to show the impact of this drought on the amount of surface water that can be mobilized by this dam. The rainfall series recorded at four stations, located within the basin of the dam, were examined using the proportional deviation from the average, the running average, the frequency analysis, the Pita’s index and the standardized precipitation index. These methods have shown a significant decrease of rain, starting from the hydrological year 1975/1976. These same approaches were also used to analyse series of flows spread over a longer period. This fact revealed three periods of drought which are 1940–1945, 1955–1967 and the most recent one highlighted by the rainfall series, starts at the year 1975/1976. The regularized water volume of the dam, calculated from the series of flow rates, is around 37 million m3. This value reflects a deficit of 40% of the regularized volume predicted by the designers of the dam.

Published: June 2018

AbstractThis study examined factors influencing the adoption of sawah technology in Kebbi State, Nigeria. Sawah refers to levelled rice field surrounded by banks with inlet and outlet for irrigation and drainage. Using pre-tested interview guide, data were collected from 300 sawah farmers in the study area. Data collected were analysed with both descriptive and inferential statistics using STATA package. The results showed that respondents were predominantly male, married and had no formal education. The mean age of was 48.13 years with mean household size of 14 persons; farm sizes ranged from 1–50 hectares with average of 4.70 ha, the mean yield was 6.88 tꞏha−1. The results further showed that bond construction had 100% adoption, nursery 99%, puddling 98%, flooding 95%, leveling and smoothening 94% and power tiller use 88% adoption. Adoption of sawah technology was influenced by socio economic characteristics which include sex, age, educational level, farm size, yield and income of the farmers. The study also showed that the attributes of sawah, production factors, information and extension and perception of respondent toward sawah technology influenced adoption. It is concluded that the sawah eco-technology is widely adopted by rice farmers in Kebbi State. The study therefore recommended that dissemination of sawah to other states in Nigeria need to consider factors that promote its adoption. Improvement of those factors that significantly affect adoption of sawah technology is also recommended.

Published: June 2018

AbstractThe round goby (Neogobius melanostomus Pallas, 1811) is one of the most invasive fish species in the world, including Poland. 300 fish of this species were collected in the waters of Szczecin lagoon between 2010 and 2014 and examination of the size, sex and age structures of the population and of the condition of the fish was performed. Total length and standard length of all the collected fish amounted to 149.2 mm (±42.21) and 128.1 mm (±38.65), respectively. The age structure of the fish consisted of nine generations, with clear prevalence of the fish aged 3+ and 4+. Mean values of condition factors for the whole fish sample amounted to 0.20 (±0.02). However, no statistically significant differences in particular years were observed (ANOVA, p > 0.05), but the condition of the fish between 2010 and 2011 was slightly higher than between 2013 and 2014. The obtained results indicate that the Szczecin Lagoon environment provides this species with favourable living conditions and it can be stipulated that the quantity of individuals of this fish species will increase.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Impact of climate change on crop growth is dynamic and difficult to quantify due to heterogeneity of the associated effects and their interactions within the Earth system. The main objective of this study is to establish how future climate change might affect agriculture, through an assessment of temperature and precipitation driven parameters. These include percentage number of rainy days with extreme precipitation, percentage of extreme precipitation relative to wet days, first fall frost days, last spring frost days, growing degree days, growing season length and the total precipitation. Results show modest increase in total precipitation with a slight increase in extreme precipitation, representing up to 2.2% increase by 2060 under representative concentration pathway (RCP 8.5) scenario. There would be late first fall frost days, early last spring frost days and increased growing season length by up to 2 weeks in 2060. The growing degree days are projected to increase under all scenarios for all crops, with cotton showing the largest increase of up to 37% relative to the baseline period.

Abstract
The prevalence of obesity is rising, becoming a medical problem worldwide. Also GERD incidence is higher in obese patients compared with normal weight, with an increased risk of 2.5 of developing symptoms and erosive esophagitis. Different treatment modalities have been proposed to treat obese patients, but bariatric surgery due to its complex interactions via anatomic, physiologic and neurohormonal changes achieved the best long-term results, with sustained weight loss and decrease of complications and mortality caused by obesity. The bariatric surgical procedures can be restrictive: laparoscopic adjustable gastric band (LAGB) and laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (LSG), or malabsorptive-restrictive such as Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB). These surgical procedures may influence esophageal motility and lead to esophageal complications like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and erosive esophagitis. From the literature we know that the RYGB can ameliorate GERD symptoms, and some bariatric procedures were finally converted to RYGB because of refractory reflux symptoms. For LAGB the results are good at the beginning, but some patients experienced new reflux symptoms in the follow-up period. Recently LSG has become more popular than other complex bariatric procedures, but some follow-up studies report a high risk of GERD after it. This article reviews the results published after LSG regarding gastroesophageal reflux and the mechanisms responsible for GERD in morbidly obese subjects.
Monitoring Oats and Winter Wheat Within-Field Spatial Variability by Satellite Images
Authors: Kumhálová J. , Novák P. , Madaras M. 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Remote sensing is a methodology using different tools to monitor and predict yields. Spatial variability of crops can be monitored through sampling of vegetation indices derived from the entire crop growth; spatial variability can be used to plan further agronomic management. This paper evaluates the suitability of vegetation indices derived from satellite Landsat and EO-1 data that compare yield, topography wetness index, solar radiation, and meteorological data over a relatively small field (11.5 ha). Time series images were selected from 2006, 2010, and 2014, when oat was grown, and from 2005, 2011 and 2013, when winter wheat was grown. The images were selected from the entire growing season of the crops. An advantage of this method is the availability of these images and their easy application in deriving vegetation indices. It was confirmed that Landsat and EO-1 images in combination with meteorological data are useful for yield component prediction. Spatial resolution of 30 m was sufficient to evaluate a field of 11.5 ha.

Published: June 2018

Abstract
Cooperation between entities can be the basis for improved competitiveness. The Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic were able to draw on EU funds to support the formation of producer groups. Main objective was to investigate whether the funds have led to an increase of value added of products placed on the market. In the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic during the reporting period the sum of 44 million EUR was provided to support the establishment of marketing organizations, 305 producer groups were supported. Many of the supported entities are no longer active. In the Czech Republic, only 15 entities are still operating, but they do not have a significant impact on the increase of value added of the agricultural sector. In the Slovak Republic, entities supported in the first programming period (2004–2006) have a higher share of the generated value added. During the second funding period (2007–2013), the supported groups showed a negative value added. Given the characteristics of supported groups, the number of successfully supported groups, the reported features and the total value of generated value added, it can be suggested that most of the entities were established due to the relative ease of fundraising.
Risk assessment of climate change impacts and the post-mining land reclamation on the example of the “Brzeziny” Natural Aggregate Mine
Authors: Pawełczyk Katarzyna 
Published: June 2018

Abstract
Mitigation of climate change and adaptation to its effects manifested in increasingly extreme meteorological phenomena are one of the most important contemporary global challenges. In the face of new hazards, numerous measures are taken to adapt environmental components and ventures to climate change, such as the reclamation of degraded areas – recognized as a key adaptation and mitigation action. The success and the property of selecting these measures, including reclamation, requires a detailed recognition of the risk of occurrence of various hazards and of the severity of their consequences in a given area. The study assessed the risk of the climate change impacts on the post-mining area and based on its results an optimal method of reclamation of the “Brzeziny” gravel pit was proposed, aimed at the maximum adaptation of the area to the occurrence of potential climate events. The risk analysis was based on elements of the common risk assessment methodology (CRAM) and enriched with elements of the analytic hierarchy process method (AHP). Moreover, the event tree analysis (ETA) logic technique was used to assess the proposed adaptation measures at the reclamation stage.

Published: June 2018

One part of the judicial process is verifying evidence for searching the material truth of case to assist judges in making decisions. One aid that can be used in verification the evidence during the trial is the Information Technology in the form of Circuit Closed Television (CCTV) footage because it is not regulated in the positive Law in Indonesia. Because of that, in this research are used a normative method to answer the problem with the approach of legislation and approach to the concept. The legal arrangement of CCTV footage as evidence in Act No. 8 of 1981 on the Law of Criminal Procedure Code is not exist, because the Criminal Procedure Code are setting a limited valid evidence under the Act, but for the interest of seeking the material truth, then there makes Act No. 11 of 2008 on Information and Electronic Transaction which govern the other evidence in the form of Electronic Information and/or Electronic Records. The strength of evidence from CCTV footage has not been expressly provided in Act No. 11 of 2008 on ITE, so that the strength of evidence is still exempt, which means that the strength of evidence is still based on the judge’s conviction.
Salah satu bagian dalam proses peradilan yakni adanya proses pembuktian guna mencari kebenaran materiil dari suatu perkara guna membantu hakim dalam mengambil keputusan. Salah satu bantuan yang dapat digunakan dalam pembuktian di persidangan adalah teknologi informasi yang berbentuk rekaman CCTV, tetapi dalam persidangan dipertanyakan akan kekuatan pembuktian dari rekaman CCTV tersebut, karena tidak diatur dalam hukum positif di Indonesia. Penelitian ini mempergunakan metode penelitian normatif untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut dengan pendekatan perundang-undangan dan pendekatan konsep. Pengaturan rekaman CCTV sebagai alat bukti ini dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 8 Tahun 1981 tentang Kitab Undang-Undang Hukum Acara Pidana (selanjutnya disebut KUHAP) tidak ditemukan pengaturannya, karena KUHAP mengatur secara limitatif alat bukti yang sah menurut Undang-Undang. Demi kepentingan mencari kebenaran materiil maka dibentuklah Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2008 tentang Informasi dan Transaksi Elektronik yang mengatur tentang alat bukti lain berupa informasi elektronik dan/atau dokumen elektronik. Kekuatan pembuktian dari rekaman CCTV belum diatur dalam Undang-Undang Nomor 11 Tahun 2008 tentang ITE, sehingga pembuktiannya masih bersifat bebas, yang artinya kekuatan pembuktian dari alat bukti tersebut masih berdasarkan atas keyakinan hakim.
