Wind energy is a clean renewable and its benefits are considered greater than the disadvantages. However, even though wind farms represent environmentally friendly projects, they frequently generate public resistance. Wind turbines are socially controversial because of their visual and acoustic impacts. The aim of this work was to design a methodology for the preliminary evaluation of potential acoustic impact of wind farms. Three steps have been proposed: identification, characterization and assessment of the acoustic impact during the construction, operation and decommissioning phase. Obtained results in the studied area suggested that at a maximum power, at 500 meters of wind turbines, noise level is lower than the reference level established in the legislation. In summary, proposed methodology could help to determine and to evaluate the best location for new wind farm projects. Proposed methodology could help to determine and to evaluate the best location for new wind farm projects. Moreover, this method could be used as a consulting tool for public organizations and private institutions, being quick, concise and clear. Obtained results for the studied wind farm project suggested that almost all the area showed noise levels lower than established background noise level.

The works of African American playwright August Wilson are examined; specific attention is dedicated to highlighting Wilson's engagement with issues that affected the lives of working-class African Americans & the influence of W. E. B. Du Bois on Wilson's works. Rather than support Du Bois's contention that the "Talented Tenth" of the African American population could significantly improve the lives of working-class African Americans, it is noted that none of Wilson's protagonists occupy Du Bois's elite category. The permeation of themes of democracy, the nature of African American everyday life, the Black Arts Movement, & the madness/bliss dichotomy in Wilson's works is then addressed. Moreover, additional themes considered in each of Wilson's works, eg, the effects of the Civil Rights Movement on the lives of working-class African Americans in Two Trains Running (1969) are explored. The study's implications for the present-day black intellectual community & current black political leadership are also pondered. 22 References. J. W. Parker

Abstract
This article presents a new estimate for the income of German university professors in the 20th century, using university archives as its main source. With these figures we reject the decline-perspective that has been predominant in the literature, influenced especially by Fritz K. Ringer's book. We compare the professors' salaries to those in leading occupations in private business, as well as state bureaucracy and find that relative income level developed in a similar fashion up to the 1970s. The 1970s were identified as a crucial turning point, as university professors started to fall behind their comparative social groups in alternative job markets. Making use of the literature on relative income, the article suggests the university professors changed their group of comparison in questions of remuneration during the course of the 20th century, so that the decreasing internal income-inequality affected their well-being more than the increasing gap to salaries outside universities.

The article analyzes for the first time the features of the publication policy in the field of philosophy in university journals published in Russia in the second half of the 19th — early 20th centuries, using the example of publications on Classical philosophy. The author shows that the materials presented in university journals reflected the results of research and educational activities in the field of Classical philosophy, including not only conceptual and critical articles, but also dissertations, act speeches, lectures, historiographic reviews, source descriptions, and commented translations of ancient authors. While the professors of Saint Petersburg, Moscow, and Kharkov Universities preferred to publish their philosophical works in specialized journals — Zhurnal Ministerstva narodnogo prosveshcheniya, Voprosy filosofii i psihologii, and Vera i razum, the professors of Kiev, Kazan, Novorossiysk, and Warsaw Universities published their works on Classical philosophy, first of all, in their university journals, maintaining the authority of a certain university academic school. The article highlights the works by Professors D.F.Belyaev, E.A.Bobrov, A.N.Gilyarov, Yu.A.Kulakovsky, F.G.Mishchenko, V.I.Modestov, Ass. Professor G.I.Yakubanis, who made a significant contribution not only to the study of Classical philosophy, but also to the development of the studying antiquity in general, their research works became the foundation on which the modern study of the history of Classical culture in Russia is developing.

Using Clark Kerr's observations on the American research university in the post-World War II era as a discussion point, this paper offers a brief summary of the expansion of the University of California during the 20th century, general observations on the emergence of its contemporary management structure after World War II, and an preliminary assessment of the possible scope of expansion and change in the new century.
