Abstract. A tsunami caused by a flank collapse of the southwest part of the Anak Krakatau volcano occurred on 22 December 2018. The tsunami affected the coastal areas located at the edge of the Sunda Strait, Indonesia. To gain an understanding of the tsunami event, field surveys were conducted a month after the incident. The surveys included measurements of run-up height, inundation distance, tsunami direction, and sediment characteristics at 20 selected sites. The survey results revealed that the run-up height reached 9.2 m in Tanjungjaya and an inundation distance of 286.8 m was found at
Cagar Alam, part of Ujung Kulon National Park. The tsunami propagated
radially from Anak Krakatau and reached the coastal zone with a direction
between 25 and 350∘ from the north. Sediment samples were collected at 27 points in tsunami deposits with a sediment thickness of 1.5–12.7 cm. The average distance from the coast of the area with significant sediment deposits and the deposit limit are 45 % and 73 % of the inundation distance, respectively. Sand sheets were sporadic, highly variable, and highly influenced by topography. Grain sizes in the deposit area were finer than those at their sources. The sizes ranged from fine sand to boulders, with medium sand and coarse sand being dominant. All sediment samples had a well-sorted distribution. An assessment of the boulder movements indicates that the tsunami run-up had minimum velocities of 4.0–4.5 m s−1.

Severe poverty, adversity, and malnutrition have irrefutable negative effects on the development and mental health of children and young people. The Life Skills Assessment Scale (LSAS), is a 5-item impact assessment scale developed in India, that provides a simple, yet valid and reliable,
instrument to assess life skills of disadvantaged children and young people, with age norms of 8–16 years. In the present study, in Bengaluru, India, we used observational data obtained from 656 disadvantaged young people to extend the LSAS age norms to 17–19 and 20–22 years
age groups, resulting in a simple, valid, and reliable assessment tool for children and young people aged from 8 to 22 years.

The paper focuses on the results of the International Scientific Conference held in Kursk. It explored the relationship between culture and man, the dialectical connection of the theory and practice of modern art education. The participants analysed the evolution of meanings and values of culture in the conditions of a post-industrial, "digital" civilization, drew attention to the artist's mission of promoting spiritual development, learning, preservation and enhancement of aesthetic values. They discussed issues of training talent in fine art, design, architecture. A special concern of the forum participants is the "computerization" of art, its transformation from a creative sacrament into "technology", into the mainstream production of "mass culture" products.
