Poudarek je na trikotniku, kjer dokažemo pomembne identitete, ki jih uporabimo za Lambertov, Cevov in Menelajev izrek ter pravilo štirih količin. S pomočjo slednjih rezultatov pokažemo tudi nekaj osnovnih dejstev o politopihše posebej pravilnih telesih. Tekom dela skušamo čim bolj približati motivacijo (pogosto z vidika astronomije) za formule in izreke.The master\u27s thesis broadly discusses the basics of spherical geometry. The emphasis is on the triangle, where we prove important identities that we use for Lambert, Ceva and Menelaus\u27s theorem and the rule of four quantities. With the help of said results we also show some basic facts about polytopesespecially Platonic solids. During the course of the work we try to bring the motivation (often from the point of astronomy) to formulas and theorems

Ischaemum flumineum Bor. A. Habit. B. Sessile 1949

Bor</i> 77265 (DD [digital image!]).</p> <p> <b>Note</b>: Bor (1949) described <i>Ischaemum flumineum</i> based on the collections he cited as follows: “ INDIA. Bombay: Jog, 28 April 1939, <i>N. L. Bor</i> 11390 (Typus in Herb. Kew. et in Herb. Dehra Dun.); Madras: Coimbatore, Top Slip, Nov. 1937, <i>N. L. Bor</i> s.n.” Apparently, he did not intend to designate a holotype, as he indicated the type to be in two different herbaria, i.e., K and DD. We also checked the CAL and MH herbaria for the presence of the type specimens, but they did not have the type specimens. However, when we consulted the concerned authority at the DD herbarium, they denied the presence of any specimen belonging to “ <i>N. L. Bor</i> 11390”. Instead, the specimen they had was labeled as “ <i>N. L. Bor</i> 77265” from Top Slip, Coimbatore, collected in November 1937. In the protologue, Bor’s cited specimen from Coimbatore lacked a collection number, which seems to be an error during typing, because based on the original information, no specimen was found at CAL, DD, K, and MH herbaria. This error of erroneous type citation may be corrected under the Art. 9.2 (Turland <i>et al.</i> 2018). Thus, the material from DD labeled as “ <i>N. L. Bor</i> 77265” is an original type specimen.</p> <p> In the absence of any holotype designation by the original author, all the cited specimens that are from two different gatherings are considered syntypes, according to Art. 9.6 (Turland <i>et al.</i> 2018). From these specimens, a lectotype may be designated by following the Art. 9.3 (Turland <i>et al.</i> 2018). Here, we have selected a specimen “ <i>N. L. Bor</i> 11390” at K as a lectotype for the name <i>Ischaemum flumineum</i>, but its duplicate at DD could not be traced or is perhaps lost, if it is traced in future should to be called an isolectotype. The other cited material, “ <i>N. L. Bor</i> 77265”, from a different gathering which is housed at the DD herbarium, is a syntype.</p> <p> <b>Distrbution</b>:— Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, South India (Fig. 3).

War and State Formation in Ancient China and Early Modern Europe
No full textThe University Archives has determined that this item is of continuing value to OSU's history.The media can be accessed here: http://streaming.osu.edu/knowledgebank/mershon07/022607.mp4Victoria Tin-bor Hui is Assistant Professor of Political Science at University of Notre
Dame. She is author of "War and State Formation in Ancient China and Early Modern
Europe" (Cambridge, 2005), winner of the Mershon Center's Edgar S. Furniss Book
Award for an author whose first book makes an exceptional contribution to the
study of national and international security. Hui will deliver a lecture based on her book, which demonstrates that from 656-221 B.C., China's government consisted of a
system of sovereign territorial states similar to those in early modern Europe. This
finding runs counter to the common belief that the roots of liberal democracy are
unique to European civilization and alien to non-Western cultures.Ohio State University. Mershon Center for International Security Studie
Differential Evolution Algorithm Based Photonic Structure Design: Numerical and Experimental Verification of Subwavelength ? /5 Focusing of Light
No full textPhotonic structure designs based on optimization algorithms provide superior properties compared to those using intuition-basedapproaches. In the present study, we numerically and experimentally demonstrate subwavelength focusing of light using wavelength scale absorption-free dielectric scattering objects embedded in an air background. An optimization algorithm based on differential evolution integrated into the finite-difference time-domain method was applied to determine the locations of each circular dielectric object with a constant radius and refractive index. The multiobjective cost function defined inside the algorithm ensures strong focusing of light with low intensity side lobes. The temporal and spectral responses of the designed compact photonic structureprovided a beam spot size in air with a full width at half maximum value of 0.19?, where ? is the wavelength of light. The experiments were carried out in the microwave region to verify numerical findings, and very good agreement between the two approaches was found. The subwavelength light focusing is associated with a strong interference effect due to nonuniformly arranged scatterers and an irregular index gradient. Improving the focusing capability of optical elements by surpassing the diffraction limit of light is of paramount importance in optical imaging, lithography, data storage, and strong light-matter interaction. © The Author(s) 2016
Placemaking Through Guerilla Gardens at the Toki Mass Housing Grounds in Bor (Niğde)
No full textThis paper investigates the guerilla gardens at the TOKI compound in Bor, Niğde, that add a vernacular touch to modern mass housing. TOKI, short for Turkish Republic Mass Housing Administration, was established to eradicate gecekondu, informal settlements that emerged in metropolitan cities in the 1950s due to rural-to-urban migration. Tasked with providing affordable housing for low-income families, TOKI implements standardized designs across Turkey's cities and towns, including the Bor (Niğde) complex. As opposed to the rigidity and uniformity of TOKI blocks, the architecture of guerilla gardens displays the spontaneity and ingenuity that characterized the original gecekondu. The research seeks answers to the questions of why guerilla gardens emerge at the Toki grounds, especially because TOKI was initially designed to eradicate vernacular gecekondu and what needs of the inhabitants these gardens accommodate. To answer these questions, ethnographic inquiry is conducted with the users of the guerilla gardens. Through the lens of the Bor TOKI residents' initiative, this paper offers insights into how vernacular input can inform future mass housing projects, possibly leading to more inclusive models that prioritize environmental sustainability while also respecting local lifestyles. © The Author(s) 2025.Bor Toki Compound
Application of standard ISO 14001 in the environmental protection system
No full textImplementation of ISO 14001 standards - The environmental management system, following the ISO 9001 standard, is becoming increasingly common in our organizations. This is particularly true for construction companies that are significant waste generators and environmental pollutants. On this, they are bound by increasingly stringent legislation, on the one hand, and a more favorable position in public vacancies if they have introduced a standard, on the other. Bearing in mind the experience of the author in the implementation of the ISO 14001 standard, the paper will present the basic procedures for the efficient functioning of the environmental management system.27th International Conference Ecological Truth and Environmental Research 2019 : June 18-21, Bor
Problems of ecology and ensuring environmental safety in relation to toxic “Krasny Bor” dump site
No full textIn the article the author raises the problem of ecology and ensuring environmental safety in relation to toxic “Krasny Bor” landfill. Comprehensive analysis of the existing system shortcomings to storage toxic industrial waste has been given. The principal threats of a dangerous object to the environment being in a critical state have been discussed. Reliable and high-quality environmental monitoring in the landfill is still absent. At all stages of the life cycle of the “Krasny Bor”, bureaucratic confusion impedes the development of environmentally oriented investment activities for the reclamation of toxic pits. The main elements of the project structure to remediate the “Krasny Bor” have been considered. It has been shown that the project must include all acceptable technological solutions related to landfill disposal and that it is necessary to focus on environmental protection and environmental safety of the area. In the framework of current situation at the disposal site, it does not seem impossible to solve the issues of ensuring environmental safety in the direction of moving towards sustainable and balanced development of the North-Westregion
Pengaruh Jumlah Hari Perawatan Terhadap Peningkatan Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR) Di Rumah Sakit EMC Cikarang
No full textPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh jumlah hari perawatan terhadap peningkatan BOR Di Rumah Sakit EMC Cikarang. Penelitian dilakukan dengan metode explanatori dengan pendekatan kuantitatif.Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui observasi dan studi pustaka tentang hubungan antara jumlah hari perawatan dengan peningkatan BOR. Dari hasil penelitian Uji Regresi Linier Sederhana didapati Variabel X memiliki pengaruh terhadap Variabel Y sebesar 70% dengan persamaan regresi 0,69% dapat diartikan bahwa setiap kenaikan 1 harga Jumlah Hari Perawatan Maka akan bertamba nilai Bed Occupancy Rate(BOR) sebesar 0,714% dan hasil untuk Uji Koefisien Kolerasi sebesar 0,84 maka artinya Jumlah Hari Perawatan dan Peningkatan Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR) memiliki hubungan linier sempurna langsung dan tingkat hubungan yang sangat kuat. Dari hasil penelitian yang dilakukan, ditemui permasalahan diantaranya: Adanya perbedaan jumlah pasien setiap bulan yang berpengaruh terhadap hari perawatan . perbedaan pasien setiap bulan ini dikarenakan banyaknya penyakit kejadian kasus luar biasa sehingga deperlukan perawatan rawat inap di Rumah Sakit EMC Cikarang. Adapun saran yang diberikan penulis untuk mengatasi masalah ini adalah: (1).Dinas kesehatan terkait dan pihak rumah sakit bekerjasama mengaplikasikan dan melakukan penyuluhan kepada masyarakat yang dilakukan minimal 3 kali dalam satu minggu agar masyarakat mengetahui dan paham terhadap kebersihan diri dan lingkungan sekitarnya.(2). Menambah jumlah tempat tidur untuk mengantisipasi kenaikan nilai bed occupancy rate (BOR) yang lebih signifikan di tahun selanjutnya.This study aims to determine the effect of the number of days of treatment on the increase in BOR at EMC Cikarang Hospital.The research was carried out using an explanatory method with a quantitative approach. Data collection was carried out through observation and literature study on the relationship between the number of days of treatment and an increase in BOR. From the results of the Simple Linear Regression Test it was found that the X variable had an influence on the Y variable by 70% with a regression equation of 0.69%, which means that every 1 increase in the price of the number of days of treatment will increase the value of the Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR) of 0.714% and the result for the Correlation Coefficient Test of 0.84, it means that the Number of Days of Treatment and the Increase in Bed Occupancy Rate (BOR) has a direct perfect linear relationship and a very strong level of relationship. From the results of the research conducted, problems were encountered including: There was a difference in the number of patients each month which affected the day of treatment. The difference in patients every month is due to the large number of extraordinary cases that require inpatient treatment at the EMC Cikarang Hospital. The suggestions given by the author to overcome this problem are: (1). The related health office and the hospital work together to apply and conduct outreach to the community which is carried out at least 3 times a week so that people know and understand personal(2). Increase the number of beds to anticipate a more significant increase in the bed occupancy rate (BOR) in the following year
