The use of wind and water energy for economic purposes in the 19th and 20th century in the Zagożdżonka River basin The article presents ways to use renewable sources of energy in the 19th and early 20th century in the Zagożdżonka River basin (left tributary of the Vistula River). The river basin is located in central Poland, in the south of the Mazowieckie Province Physico-geo- -graphically, it is located within three mesoregions: the Vistula Central Valley, the Kozienice Plain, the Radom Plain. The aim of the study is to reconstruct the location of the renewable energy source receivers. Special attention was paid to the terrain conditions and settlement network. Archival sources were used to perform detailed analyses. The most important sources include archival maps: Topographic Chart of the Kingdom of Poland, Karte des westlichen Rußlands, the tactical map of WIG, The Geographic Dictionary of the Kingdom of Poland and Other Slavic Countries. Thanks to GIS tools, it was possible to reconstruct the location of linear (watercourses), surface (mill ponds, forests), and point objects – water wheels and windmills. Several spatial analyses (density of water wheels and windmills, geomorphological position, density changes) were performed using GIS software. The wind potential (Wind Effect) was also calculated, to which the location of windmills was related. The population density in the water basin was reconstructed, which gave a picture of the socio-economic space. The results of the analyses indicate the dynamic development of milling in the 19th and early 20th century. The reconstruction of the then existing settlement network provided a basis for relating the location of mills to the socio-economic conditions in the river basin. The highest densities of mills were found near the largest towns, e.g. Kozienice, Czarnolas, and Policzna. Zarys treści: W artykule przedstawiono sposoby wykorzystania energii wód płynących i wiatru w XIX i na początku XX w. na obszarze zlewni Zagożdżonki (lewostronnego dopływu Wisły). Omawiana zlewnia położona jest w centralnej części Polski, na południu województwa mazowieckiego. Pod względem fizycznogeograficznym znajduje się w obrębie trzech mezoregionów: Doliny Środowej Wisły, Równiny Kozienickiej, Równiny Radomskiej. Celem badań była rekonstrukcja lokalizacji młynów wodnych i wiatraków. Szczególną uwagę podczas prowadzenia analiz zwrócono na warunki terenowe oraz sieć osadniczą. Do wykonania analiz wykorzystano źródła archiwalne: Topograficzną Kartę Królestwa Polskiego, Karte des westlichen Rußlands, mapę taktyczną WIG, Słownik geograficzny Królestwa Polskiego i innych krajów słowiańskich. Dzięki użyciu narzędzi GIS odtworzono położenie obiektów liniowych (cieków), powierzchniowych (stawów młyńskich, lasów) i punktowych – urządzeń wodnych oraz wiatraków. Przy użyciu oprogramowania GIS wykonano analizy przestrzenne: zagęszczenia urządzeń wodnych i wiatraków, położenia geomorfologicznego, zmian gęstości. Obliczono również potencjał wietrzny (Wind Effect), z którym korelowano lokalizację wiatraków. Przeanalizowano zmiany gęstości zaludnienia na obszarze zlewni, co dało obraz przestrzeni społeczno-gospodarczej. Wyniki przeprowadzonych analiz wskazują na dynamiczny rozwój młynarstwa w XIX i na początku XX w. Rekonstrukcja ówczesnej sieci osadniczej dała podstawy do wykonania map gęstości ludności, z którymi następnie korelowano lokalizację młynów. Największe zagęszczenia młynów występują w pobliżu największych miejscowości regionu, np. Kozienic, Czarnolasu, Policznej.

AbstractThis paper examines ways that narrative studies can influence both mission theologies and mission theories. Narrative studies has historically been a part of mission studies. This analysis goes a step further to show how insights gained from studying the lives of particular missionaries in their contexts leads to new theologies and theories of Christian mission. Theologies of mission refer to beliefs about the content and direction of Christian mission. What should we be aiming for – the salvation of individuals, the shalom of Christian community, the realization that mission comes from God and is God's project, the building of God's kingdom, the expansion of the church? How shall we go about attempting to reach those goals – social service, political action, evangelism projects, planting churches, faithful liturgical practice? Mission theory is the way one understands the role and impact of Christian mission in the world. It deals with such questions as: What is the connection among mission theologies and political or economic realities? How does a particular mission theology influence the church itself? What has Christian mission accomplished in the world and through what kinds of beliefs and mission efforts? This paper addresses the relationship among these concepts – narrative studies, theologies of mission, and mission theories. It utilizes grounded theory to show that studying the lives of missionaries provides insights about their theology of mission that may not be obvious in the way they state their own mission theology and may not be articulated by their biographers. Through such research, narrative studies can overcome stereotypes about mission and missionaries, broadening and deepening theologies of mission. The paper demonstrates ways that narrative studies can also influence mission theory. Understandings of the content and role of mission in the world can be augmented on both the theological and the theoretical levels by studying the lives of particular missionaries. Cet article examine la façon dont les études narratives peuvent influencer à la fois les théologies et les théories de la mission. Historiquement, les études narratives ont fait partie de l'étude de la mission. Cette analyse fait un pas de plus pour montrer comment on a gagné en perception en étudiant la vie de missionnaires particuliers dans leur contexte spécifique, ce qui a conduit à de nouvelles théologies et de nouvelles théories de la mission chrétienne. Les théologies de la mission concernent les idées sur le contenu et les fins de la mission chrétienne. Quel devrait être notre but – le salut des individus, la paix de la communauté chrétienne, la réalisation que la mission vient de Dieu et est le projet de Dieu, la construction du royaume de Dieu, l'expansion de l'Eglise? Comment devons-nous procéder pour essayer d'atteindre ces buts – service social, action politique, projets d'évangélisation, implantation d'Eglises, pratique liturgique fidèle? La théorie de la mission est la manière dont est compris le rôle et l'impact de la mission chrétienne dans le monde. Elle traite de questions telles que : quel est le lien entre les théologies de la mission et les réalités politiques ou économiques? De quelle façon une théologie de la mission particulière influence-t-elle l'Eglise elle-même? Qu'est-ce que la mission chrétienne a accompli dans le monde et par quelle sorte de convictions et d'efforts missionnaires? Cet article examine la relation entre ces concepts – études narratives, théologies de la mission et théories de la mission. Il utilise une théorie argumentée pour montrer que l'étude des vies de missionnaires apporte un éclairage sur leur théologie de la mission, ce qui n'a pas toujours été pris en compte par leurs biographes. Cette recherche peut amener les études narratives à surmonter les stéréotypes concernant la mission et les missionnaires, élargissant et approfondissant les théologies de la mission. Cet article montre comment les études narratives peuvent également influencer la théorie de la mission. On peut ainsi accroître la compréhension du contenu et du rôle de la mission dans le monde au niveau théologique et théorique en étudiant la vie de missionnaires particuliers. Dieser Artikel untersucht Weisen, in denen narrative Studien sowohl Missionstheologien als auch Missionstheorien beeinflussen können. Narrative Studien gehören geschichtlich zur Missiologie. Diese Analyse geht einen Schritt weiter und zeigt, wie Erkenntnisse, die von der Untersuchung bestimmter Missionare in ihren Kontexten gewonnen werden, zu neuen Theologien und Theorien der christlichen Mission führen. Missionstheologien beziehen sich auf den Glauben bezüglich Inhalt und Ausrichtung der christlichen Mission. Worauf sollen wir zielen – die Rettung der Einzelnen, der shalom der christlichen Gemeinschaft, die Umsetzung der Mission, die von Gott kommt und Gottes Werk ist, die Errichtung des Reiches Gottes, die Ausdehnung der Kirche? Wie sollen wir diese Ziele erreichen – sozialer Dienst, politisches Handeln, Projekte der Evangelisierung, Einpflanzung von Kirchen, gläubige liturgische Praxis? Die Missionstheorie ist die Weise, wie man die Rolle und die Wirkung der christlichen Mission in der Welt versteht. Es geht um Fragen wie: Wie hängen Missionstheologien und politische oder wirtschaftliche Realitäten zusammen? Welchen Einfluss nimmt eine bestimmte Missionstheologie auf die Kirche selbst? Was hat die christliche Mission in der Welt erreicht und durch welche Arten von Glaubensinhalten und Missionsleistungen? Dieser Artikel spricht die Beziehung dieser Begriffe an – narrative Studien, Missionstheologien und Missionstheorien. Er verwendet eine gegenstandsverankerte Theoriebildung (grounded theory) um zu zeigen, dass die Untersuchung des Lebens von Missionaren Erkenntnisse über ihre Missionstheologie liefert, die sich nicht so offenlegen muss in der Weise, wie sie ihre eigene Missionstheologie darstellen und die von ihren Biografen möglicherweise nicht herausgearbeitet wird. Durch solche Forschungen können narrative Studien die Stereotypen von Mission und Missionaren überwinden und die Missionstheologien ausweiten und vertiefen. Der Artikel zeigt Weisen, wie narrative Studien auch die Missionstheorie beeinflussen können. Das Verständnis von Inhalt und Rolle der Mission in der Welt kann sowohl auf theologischem wie auch theoretischem Niveau ausgeweitet werden, wenn man das Leben bestimmter Missionare untersucht. Este trabajo examina las maneras de cómo el estudio de casos puede influenciar tanto las teologías de la misión como las teorías de la misión. Históricamente, los estudios de casos han sido parte de los estudios misiológicos. Este análisis también demuestra cómo los conocimientos adquiridos al estudiar la vida de ciertos misioneros en sus respectivos contextos pueden producir nuevas teologías y teorías de la misión cristiana. Las teologías de la misión se refieren a creencias acerca del contenido y la dirección de la misión cristiana. ¿Hacia dónde apuntaremos – la salvación de las personas, el Shalom de la comunidad cristiana, la comprensión de que la misión proviene de Dios y es proyecto de Dios, la construcción del reino de Dios, la expansión de la iglesia ? ¿Cómo trataremos de lograr esas metas – servicio social, acción política, proyectos de evangelismo, el plantar iglesias, una fiel práctica litúrgica? La teoría de la misión es una manera de entender la función y el impacto de la misión cristiana en el mundo. Hace preguntas tales como: ¿Cuál es la conexión entre las teologías de la misión y las realidades políticas o económicas? ¿Cómo influyen ciertas teologías de la misión sobre la iglesia en sí? ¿Qué ha logrado la misión cristiana en el mundo; y qué tipos de creencias o esfuerzos misiológicos se utilizaron para realizarlos? Este artículo trata sobre cómo estos conceptos se relacionan entre sí – estudios de casos, las teologías de la misión, y las teorías de la misión. Utiliza un muestreo teórico para demostrar que el estudio de la vida de los misioneros proporciona información adicional acerca de la teología de la misión que quizás ni ellos mismos ni sus historiadores pudieron articular. A través de este tipo de investigación, el estudio de casos puede ayudar a superar estereotipos sobre la misión y los misioneros; además amplía y profundiza las teologías de la misión. El trabajo muestra cómo el estudio de casos puede influir en la teoría de la misión. Al estudiar la vida de ciertos misioneros se hará posible incrementar la comprensión del contenido y la función que cumple la misión en el mundo tanto en niveles teológicos como teóricos.

Abstract. Warui MW, Manohar S, Obade P. 2020. Current status, utilization, succession and zonation of mangrove ecosystem along Mida Creek, Coast Province, Kenya. Bonorowo Wetlands 10: 32-43. Human activities have resulted in the destruction of mangrove forests, posing a threat to the mangrove ecosystem and the living things that rely on it. From September 2009 through February 2010, researchers studied the current state, usage, succession, and zonation of the mangrove ecosystem along Mida Creek in Kenya's Coast Province. The goals were to assess changes in the floristic composition of the mangrove forest, identify the most preferred mangrove species, investigate whether accessibility determines utilization of mangrove species, investigate whether harvesting of mangroves affects their succession, and investigate the effectiveness of current mangrove forest management policies. The data was collected using the Point-Centered Quarter Method (PCQM) to see if access into the mangrove forest influences their use and if mangrove succession is affected by their use. To evaluate the efficiency of government policies/legislation governing mangrove exploitation and the most favored mangrove species by the local community and other users, questionnaires were circulated and interviews were conducted. Out of the 210 houses in Mida Creek, 136 respondents were interviewed, one from each household. To examine the temporal changes in the floristic composition of the mangrove forest, two sets of aerial images (1992 and 2006) were processed and interpreted. The data from the questionnaires were coded and entered into the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to see if the accessibility of mangroves influences their use. To see if the utilization of mangroves affects their succession, researchers used regression analysis. To evaluate the forest structure, an importance value was derived. To summarize the present mangrove forest management policies and their effectiveness, descriptive statistics were used. Between 1992 and 2006, the floristic composition of the mangrove forest in Mida Creek changed; the area covered by mangroves decreased as follows: Rhizophora mucronata (Rm); 65.09-63.93ha; Avicennia marina (Am); 344.99-310.63ha; Ceriops tagal (Ct); 225.12-223.82ha; Rm and Ct; 52.87-50.22ha; Ct and Am; 143.69- 140.29ha; Rm and Am; 44.36-41.27ha; Rm and Bg; 212.75-199.75ha; Rm and Sonneratia alba (Sa); 47.64-46.32ha; Rm, Ct and Bruguiera gymnorrhiza (Bg); 129.07-128.12ha; Rm, Am, Ct, and Bg; 472.44-428.46ha. The number of cut mangroves in the adjacent settlements, center, and shoreline revealed a significant difference (F=3.277; df=2; p=0.040) in the ANOVA test, indicating that accessibility determines consumption. The most favored mangrove species was Rhizophora mucronata, according to the findings. There was a correlation between the number of mangrove seedlings and the number of cut mangroves (F=8.529, df=1, R=0.198, P=0.004), according to regression analysis. The use of mangroves has an impact on their succession. Mangrove utilization policies and legislation have been less effective. The key species in Mida Creek were Rhizophora mucronata and Ceriops tagal. The extent of mangrove forests in Mida Creek has shrunk over time.

The Chewings Range Quartzite is a meta-sedimentary cover sequence located in the Warumpi Province of the Arunta Region. U-Pb detrital Zircon analysis of the Chewings Range Quartzite indicates a minimum depositional age of ~ 1640Ma, with the main population of zircons residing within a range of 1700 – 1800Ma. Evidence from Sm-Nd isotopic data suggests that a series of Staurolite Garnet Schists, often grouped with the Chewings Range Quartzite, has a significantly more juvenile character. This suggests that it may represent a new unit with a significantly differing provenance to that of the Chewings Range Quartzite. Combined REE, geochemistry and detrital zircon dating suggests that the Chewings Range Quartzite was derived primarily off the Arunta Region and North Australian Craton, while the Stauralite Garnet Schists holds more affinity with juvenile Musgrave Province to the south.

The southern margin of the North Australian Craton (NAC) has been suggested to represent a long-lived (c. 1860 to 1600 Ma) active margin that preserves a cryptic record of the growth and assembly of the Australian continent. The Warumpi Province is juxtaposed against the southern Aileron Province, and has been interpreted as exotic to the NAC, though the timing of collision between the Warumpi Province and the southern Aileron Province is contentious. U-Pb zircon and monazite LA-ICP-MS geochronology from granulite facies metapelites and granitic gneisses along the southern margin of the Aileron Province and northern margin of the Warumpi Province, has shown it is characterised by c. 1780-1740 Ma magmatic rocks and c. 1640-1615 Ma magmatic and metamorphic rocks. The evidence for these events is preserved in kilometre-scale migmatitic boudins and low-strain zones enveloped by pervasive E-W trending higher strain belts. The overprinting high strain fabrics are Grenvillian age and constrained to c. 1175-1070 Ma. Phase equilibria modelling on a garnet-sillimanite-cordierite metapelite dated at c.1616 Ma, from a low-strain domain within the southern Aileron Province, indicates that peak metamorphic conditions were ~7-8 kbar and between 740-900 °C, and were associated with a down-pressure or decompressional P-T history. A metamorphic monazite age of c.1620 Ma was also preserved in a granitic gneiss located in an older, low-strain domain. The presence of the c. 1760 Ma and c. 1640 Ma timelines in both the Warumpi and Aileron Provinces calls into question the proposed exotic nature of the Warumpi Province. A speculative interpretation is that the Liebig-aged metamorphism and magmatism, seemingly associated with relatively shallow orientated, low strain fabrics, represents a period of extension rather than collision.

The Warumpi Province has been interpreted to be exotic and accreted to the Northern Australian Craton (NAC) during the Liebig Orogeny at c.1640Ma. However, phase equilibria modelling of melt-deficient, Mg-Al rich granulite facies rocks at Hill 830, in the Mount Liebig area show contradictory evidence of a decompressional pressure-temperature path and a high metamorphic gradient of 90°Ckbar. This interpretation in conjunction with abundant c.1780- 1740Ma and c.1640Ma magmatism in the southern Aileron and Warumpi Provinces, indicate that the tectonic regime at c.1640Ma may instead be a south-migrating, extensional scenario, compared to the previously accepted collisonal regime; speculating that the Warumpi Province is not ‘exotic’ to the NAC.

In spite of the continent of Australia being the oldest and most tectonically stable on Earth, its structural history is still the subject of much conjecture. The final closure of the South Australian Craton with the North Australian Craton at roughly 1080 million years ago deformed much of Central Australia into the lithospheric arrangement observed today. Structural constraints have been developed in the last 30 years on the history of the Musgrave Province, Amadeus Basin, Warumpi Province and Arunta Complex in the southern part of the Northern Territory. In this study the resistivity structure of these four provinces was assessed through the use of a long-period magnetotelluric survey along the Stuart Highway from the South Australia-Northern Territory border to 90 kilometres north of Alice Springs. A key focus was to determine whether the structural arrangement, identified in a magnetotelluric survey conducted 100 kilometres to the east of this profile in 2006, is laterally consistent between the four provinces. In the Stuart Highway profile model the major structures present exhibit a different arrangement, particularly in the northern part of the profile, resulting in the conclusion that the mechanism for the lithospheric closure of the region was a more complex nature than was previously thought.
