Abstract

The study area is located in the North-Eastern part of the Nile Delta, northern of Ismailia canal and western Suez Canal. It comprises an area of about 3,058.8 km2 (728,285.38 feddans). This work aims to identify the main physiographic units and its features, as well as emphasise the importance of combining soil taxonomy (2014) and WRB classification (2022) systems.
Two main physiographic units were distinguished in the study area according to the previous studies, interpretation of satellite image and digital elevation model (DEM) as well as field observations; the first consists of fluvio-marine flats and the second river terraces which include the fluvial and deltaic origin.
According to field morphological descriptions as well as chemical and physical analyses, representative profiles are classified by using both Soil Taxonomy and WRB systems. The current study is the third manuscript to emphasise the importance of using both systems together in order to obtain maximum possible characteristics of the earth. Below are examples that illustrate this importance.
Soils of profile No. 4 which represent the fluvio-marine soils are classified according to soil taxonomy as follows: Typical Haplosalids, fine silty, mixed, thermic.
While these soils are classified according to WRB as follows: Fluvic Sodic Solonchaks (Siltic/Loamy/Clayic, Chloridic, Evapocrustic, Ochric, Hypersalic).
Soils of gypsiferous which represent soils of profile No. 6 are classified according to Soil Taxonomy as: Gypsic Aquisalids, loamy over sandy, mixed, thermic, whereas the application of the WRB system reveals the following: Fluvic Calcic Gypsic Sodic Gleyic Solonchaks (Loamic, Chloridic, Hypersalic).

Abstract

Józefa Joteyko was the outstanding scientist in the end of the 19th and in the beginning of the 20th century. Together with Maria Skłodowska-Curie she was the most famous woman and scientist of Polish origin in Europe. She was given the right to present her lectures in the Collége de France and she was, after Adam Mickiewicz, the second Polish lecturer at this great academy. She had committed her life to scientific disciplines which included child neurology, neurophysiology, psychology and pedagogy. She had managed to develop each of them evenly with the same progress and in relation to children. Such approach was aimed at understanding the child and gathering the knowledge about its character and predisposition. These was also meant to help in determining what kind of educational and professional way the child should take. The present-day psychological and pedagogic clinics are the practical fulfilment of Józefa Joteyko’s idea and we cannot imagine the contemporary education without the support of such institutions.

Abstract

In this text the author poses a question about the direction of the evolution of early childhood education, considering its specificity in the context of the academic nature of pedagogy itself and its historical development, and especially the modern trend for interdisciplinarity. The author associates sources of diversity of this sub-discipline with a focus on the child, emphasizing, on the one hand, the setting of the sub-discipline in the tradition, especially pedological and, on the other hand, a growing and critical phenomenological perspective of research in this area. In conclusion he emphasizes that a reorientation of the multi paradigmatic research conducted in early childhood pedagogy, its openness to differences, but also the use of the methodology of the humanities and social studies recognized by the international community of scholars, make this sub-discipline of learning begin to regain the appellation of an integral discipline.
