Published: August 2018

Soybean (Glycine max(L.) Merr) is an essential food, feed, and technical culture. In Kazakhstan the area under soybean is increasing every year, helping to solve the problem of protein deficiency in human nutrition and animal feeding. One of the main problems of soybean production is fungal diseases causing yields losses of up to 30 %. Modern genomic studies can be applied to facilitate efficient breeding research for improvement of soybean fungal disease tolerance. Therefore, the objective of this genome-wide association study (GWAS) was analysis of a soybean collection consisting of 182 accessions in relation to fungal diseases in the conditions of South East and South Kazakh­stan. Field evaluation of the soybean collection suggested thatFusariumspp. andCercospora sojinaaffected plants in the South region (RIBSP), andSeptoria glycines– in the South East region (KRIAPP). The major objective of the study was identification of QTL associated with resistance to fusarium root rot (FUS), frogeye leaf spot (FLS), and brown spot (BS). GWAS using 4 442 SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) markers of Illumina iSelect array allowed for identification of fifteen marker trait associations (MTA) resistant to the three diseases at two different stages of growth. Two QTL both for FUS (chromosomes 13 and 17) and BS (chromosomes 14 and 17) were genetically mapped, including one presumably novel QTL for BS (chromo­some 17). Also, five presumably novel QTL for FLS were genetically mapped on chromosomes 2, 7, and 15. The results can be used for improvement of the local breeding projects based on marker-assisted selection approach.

Published: August 2018

Selective hydrogenation of nitrobenzene was carried out under solvent-free conditions using supported AuPd nanoparticles catalyst, prepared by modified impregnation method (MIm), as efficient catalyst. >99% yield of aniline (AN) was obtained after 15 hours at 90 °C, 3 bar H2 that can be used without any further purification or separation, therefore reducing cost and energy input. Supported AuPd nanoparticles catalyst, prepared by MIm, was found to be active and stable even after 4 recycle experiments whereas the same catalyst prepared by SIm deactivated during the recycle experiments. The most effective catalyst was tested for the chemoselective hydrogenation of 4-chloronitrobenzene (CNB) to 4-chloroaniline (CAN). The activation energy of CNB to CAN was found to be 25 kJ mol-1, while that of CNB to AN was found to be 31 kJ mol-1. Based on this, the yield of CAN was maximized (92%) by lowering the reaction temperature to 25 °C.
Green Rust: The Simple Organizing ‘Seed’ of All Life?  
Authors: Russell Michael J
Published: August 2018

Korenaga and coworkers present evidence to suggest that 4.3 billion years ago the Earth’s mantle was dry and water filled the ocean to twice its present volume.[2] CO2 was constantly exhaled during the mafic to ultramafic volcanic activity associated with magmatic plumes that produced the thick, dense and relatively stable oceanic crust. In that setting two distinct major types of sub-marine hydrothermal vents were active: ~400 °C acidic springs whose effluents bore vast quantities of iron into the ocean, and ~120 °C, highly alkaline and reduced vents exhaling from the cooler, serpentinizing crust at some distance from the heads of the plumes. When encountering the alkaline effluents, the iron from the plume head vents precipitated out forming mounds likely surrounded by voluminous exhalative deposits similar to the banded iron formations known from the Archean. These mounds and the surrounding sediments likely comprising nanocrysts of the variable valence FeII/FeIII oxyhydroxide, green rust. The precipitation of green rust, along with subsidiary iron sulfides and minor concentrations of Ni, Co and Mo in the environment at the alkaline springs may have established both the key bio-syntonic disequilibria, and the means to properly make use of them – those needed to drive the essential inanimate-to-animate transitions that launched life. In the submarine alkaline vent model for the emergence of life specifically it is first suggested that the redox-flexible green rust microcrysts spontaneously formed precipitated barriers to the complete mixing of carbonic ocean and alkaline hydrothermal fluids, barriers that created and maintained steep ionic disequilibria; and second, that the hydrous interlayers of green rust acted as 'engines' that were powered by those ionic disequilibria and drove essential endergonic reactions. There, aided by sulfides and trace elements acting as catalytic promoters and electron transfer agents, nitrate could be reduced to ammonia and carbon dioxide to formate, while methane may have been oxidized to methyl and formyl groups. Acetate and higher carboxylic acids could then have been produced from these C1 molecules and aminated to amino acids, and thence oligomerized to offer peptide nests to phosphate and iron sulfides and secreted to form primitive amyloid-bounded structures, leading conceivably to protocells.
Pilot scale cavitational reactors and other enabling technologies to design the industrial recovery of polyphenols from agro-food by-products, a technical and economical overview

Published: August 2018

We herein provide an overview of the most recent multidisciplinary process advances that have occurred in the food industry as a result of changes in consumer lifestyle and expectations. The demand for fresher and more natural foods is driving the development of new technologies that may efficiently operate at room temperature. Moreover, the huge amount of material discarded by the agro-food production chain lays down a significant challenge for emerging technologies that can provide new opportunities by recovering valuable by-products and creating new applications. Aiming to design industrial processes, there is a need of pilot scale plants such as the “green technologies development platform” that was established by the authors. The platform is made up of a series of multifunctional laboratories that are equipped with non-conventional pilot reactors developed in direct collaboration with partner companies in order to bridge the enormous gap between academia and industry via the large-scale exploitation of relevant research achievements. Selected key, enabling technologies for process intensification make this scale-up feasible. We make use of two selected examples, the grape and olive production chains, to show how cavitational reactors, which are based on high-intensity ultrasound and rotational hydrodynamic units, can assist food processing and the sustainable recovery of waste to produce valuable nutraceuticals as well as colouring and food-beverage additives.
Improving Reservoir Operation Criteria to Stabilize Water Supplies in a Multi-Purpose Dam
Authors: Kim Jungmin , Park Jinhyeog , Jang Suhyung , Kim Hyungsan , Kang Hyungwoong
Published: August 2018

Recently, torrential rain and drought have occurred in close temporal proximity and for similar durations due to changes in the spatiotemporal patterns of rainfall owing to climate change. In particular, when a drought occurs, it tends to be prolonged, making it necessary to improve the operation of multi-purpose dams that not only control flooding but also serve as water supplies. In this study, standard water volume lines and action plans by response stage were improved so that water could be stored in advance of a drought instead of reservoir operation criteria set based on data from the past. The minimum water demand by use (domestic water, industrial water, and agricultural water) was also calculated. The improved reservoir operation criteria were applied to multi-purpose dams in the Nakdong River Basin, and their effects were analyzed by calculating additionally secured water volumes. In the future, in case of lowered water volumes in multi-purpose dams owing to a drought, the application of these improved reservoir operation criteria is expected to contribute to water supply stability by delaying entry into the drought stage, and minimizing the damages caused by limited water supplies.

Published: August 2018

Background: There is lack of data on types of community first aids use and treatment given post injuries from many low-middle income countries, including India. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among children up-to 18 years of age, in Ujjain district, India to understand types of first aid given and health seeking post injury. Results: A total of 1087 injuries, in 1049 children were identified in last one year, 729 (67%) received, first aid and 758 (72%) sought some healthcare. Children with burns received most (86%) first aid, while most children (84%) with road traffic accidents (RTA) sought health care. Most children (52%) sought healthcare from a private health set-up; most (65%) being transported within the golden hour; motorbikes being the most preferred (50%) mode of transport. Only 1% injured used ambulance services. Commonly reported first aid included: use of coconut oil on wounds from falls (38%) and burns (44%); antiseptic cream on wounds from RTA (31%), turmeric in falls (16%), and rubbing of metal on a bitten site (47%). Potentially harmful substances applied included lime, toothpaste, clay and mud. Conclusion: In most injuries, appropriate locally available substances, were used by the community. Our findings will help design community interventions to increase appropriate first aid in childhood injuries.
Responding to Climate Change in Countries Emerging from Armed Conflicts: Harnessing Climate Finance to Deliver Forest Conservation, Peacebuilding, and Sustainable Food
Authors: Castro-Nunez Augusto
Published: August 2018

Linking climate action with sustainable development goals (SDGs) might incentivize social and political support to forest conservation. However, further examination of the conceptual entry points for linking efforts for reducing forest-based emissions with those for delivering SDGs is required. This review paper aims to contribute to fulfilling this research need. It provides insights into the links between conserving forests for climate change mitigation and peacebuilding. Specifically, the paper examines opportunities to harness climate finance for conserving forests and achieving long-lasting peace. It does so via a literature review and the examination of the Orinoquia region of Colombia. Findings from the literature review suggest that harnessing climate finance for conserving forests and peacebuilding is, in theory, viable if activities are designed in accordance with social, institutional, and economic factors. Meanwhile, the Orinoquia region provides evidence that these two seemingly intractable problems are proposed to be solved together. At a time when efforts for reducing forest-based emissions are being designed and targeted at (post-) conflict areas in Colombia and elsewhere, the paper’s findings might demonstrate to government agencies — both environmental and non-environmental — the compatibility of programs aimed at reducing forest-based emissions with efforts relating to peacebuilding and sustainable food.

Published: August 2018

Background: This study aims to compare the impact of early and late post-discharge cardiopulmonary rehabilitation on the outcomes of intensive care unit (ICU) survivors. Methods: The retrospective, cohort study used a sub-database of the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) that contains information of all patients had ICU admission between 2000 and 2012. Early group was defined if patients had received cardiopulmonary rehabilitation within 30 days after ICU discharge, and late group was define as if patients had received cardiopulmonary rehabilitation between 30 days and one year after ICU discharge. The end points were mortality and re-admission during the 3-year follow-up. Results: Among 2136 patients received cardiopulmonary rehabilitation after ICU discharge, 994 was classified early group and other 1142 patients were classified as late group. Overall, early group had a lower mortality rate (6.64% vs 10.86%, p = 0.0006), and a lower ICU readmission rate (47.8% vs 57.97%, p < 0.0001) than late group after 3-year follow-up. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that early group had significantly lower mortality (p=0.0009) and readmission rate (p<0.0001) than late group. In multivariate analysis, the risk of ICU readmission was found to be independently associated with late group (HR, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.13-1.47). Conclusions: Early post-discharge cardiopulmonary rehabilitation among ICU survivors has the long-term survival benefit and significantly decreases the readmission rate.

Published: August 2018

The Circular Economy has been of growing significance within academic, policymaking and industry groups. Latest developments in the field of Circular Economy has led to an expansion of CE studies focused on interrogating CE as a paradigm, its relationship with sustainability and concepts and definitions of the Circular Economy. Research has also identified the significant potential of applying circular approaches to areas of the economy, including manufacturing and Industry 4.0, which, with data, is enabling latest the advances in digital technologies. This is the first review paper to integrate the fields of CE and digital technologies resulting in a framework which provides directions for policymakers and guidance for future research. To achieve this, we conduct a systematic literature review of the empirical literature related to digital technologies, industry 4.0 and circular approaches, from the point of the 9 Rs. The systematic literature review (SLR) is based on peer-reviewed articles published between 2000-2018. The findings reveal that while research on the circular economy has been on an annual rise, research on digital technologies enabled circular economy is still relatively an untouched area of research across all nine (9) circular approaches. As such this is an area rife for further research. This paper also presents illustrative charts and graphs to summarize the current trends in circular economy research in manufacturing. From this, a framework for future circular economy research for manufacturing for digital technologies is proposed.

Published: August 2018

Nowadays, it is considerable to develop a general concept and implement a system for storing and analyzing data related to socio-economic displacements of people. The population movement, related to long-term and short-term migrations, has an increasing nature, which directly affects the various fields of activity in a single country and the world community as a whole. The proposed article describes the subject area associated with socio-economic displacements of people, the key features of internal and external migrations are noted. Based on the subject area, the general architecture of the universal system of data storage and processing is proposed, which is based on the client-server architecture. A fragment of the data model, associated with the accumulation of data from external sources, is provided. General approaches of algorithms and data structures usage are proposed. The system architecture is described with the possibility of scaling both vertical and horizontal.

The proposed system organizes the process of searching for data and filling the database from third-party sources. To do this, a module for collecting and converting information from third-party Internet sources and sending them to the database has developed. In the paper is noted the feature of the client application, which provides a convenient interface for analyzing data in the form of diagrams, graphs, maps, etc. The system is intended for various users interested in analyzing economic and social transfers, for example, to tourist organizations wishing to obtain statistics for a certain time, to airlines which could plan flights in one direction or another, as well as for state structures with the purpose of analyzing the migration flows of the population and developing appropriate strategy for their regulation.

Published: August 2018

The effects of manure application in agriculture on surface water quality has become a local to global problem because of the adverse consequences on public health and food security. This study evaluated (i) the spatial distribution of bovine (cow) and porcine (pig) genetic fecal markers, (ii) how hydrologic factors influenced these genetic markers, and (iii) their variations as a function of land use, nutrients, and other physiochemical factors. We collected 189 samples from 63 watersheds in Michigan's Lower Peninsula during baseflow, spring melt, and summer rain conditions. For each sample, we quantified the concentrations of bovine and porcine genetic markers by digital droplet polymerase chain reaction and measured Escherichia coli, dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, total phosphorus, total nitrogen, nitrate‐nitrite (NOX), ammonia (NH3), soluble reactive phosphorus, streamflow, and watershed specific precipitation. Bovine and porcine manure markers were ubiquitous in rivers that drain agricultural and natural fields across the study region. This study provides baseline conditions on the state of watershed impairment, which can be used to develop best management practices that could improve water quality. Similar studies should be performed with higher spatial sampling density to elucidate detailed factors that influence the transport of manure constituents.

Core Ideas

Spatial transport of two fecal markers occurs as the seasons change and flows increase.

Streamflow was the strongest predictor of markers during spring melt and baseflow periods.

Watersheds with natural land uses were related to the increase of marker concentrations.

Impacted rivers with elevated markers could be identified for further study and remediation.
Escherichia coli Concentration as a Function of Stream Order and Watershed Size
Authors: Rafi Khurram , Wagner Kevin L. , Gentry Terry , Karthikeyan Raghupathy , Dube Amanda
Published: August 2018

This research examines the relationship of Escherichia coli concentrations to stream order and watershed size and considers the implications on water quality standards. To assess geospatial effects, E. coli data were obtained from 743 monitoring stations in the Central Great Plains, Cross Timbers, and South Central Plains ecoregions of Texas and Oklahoma. Median and geometric mean E. coli concentrations were analyzed for correlation with stream order and watershed size at each site. Comparison of the three ecoregions revealed E. coli concentrations were highest in the westernmost Central Great Plains and lowest in the easternmost South Central Plains. Similarly, the strength of E. coli's correlation with stream order and watershed area decreased with ecoregion moving west to east. Thus, incorporating ecoregion approaches when defining stream water quality standards is supported. Analysis showed no significant relationship of stream order or watershed size to E. coli concentrations in least‐impacted watersheds (i.e., watersheds with minimal wastewater discharge and urbanization). Conversely, analysis of data from all sites showed a weak negative relationship between E. coli concentration and stream order and watershed size, with E. coli concentration generally decreasing with increasing stream order and watershed size. However, variability in smaller watersheds and lower‐order streams supports continued use of site‐specific studies to determine appropriate standards. Three‐parameter exponential models provided an approach to estimate E. coli concentrations using Shreve stream order and watershed area and identify outlier streams potentially affected by anthropogenic activities where further investigation or remediation may be warranted.

Core Ideas

New methods are needed to develop E. coli standards for streams with no recreation.

Stream order was evaluated to assess its use for establishing E. coli standards.

Only a weak negative correlation was found between stream order and E. coli.

Incorporating ecoregion when defining stream water quality standards was supported.

Our findings support the use of site‐specific recreation use studies for small streams.
Assessing Pathogen Presence in an Intensively Tile Drained, Agricultural Watershed
Authors: Rieke E. L. , Moorman T. B. , Soupir M. L. , Yang F. , Howe A.
Published: August 2018

Increases in swine production and concomitant manure application provide beneficial nutrients for crops but also include the potential to spread pathogenic bacteria in the environment. While manure is known to contain a variety of pathogens, little is known regarding the long‐term effect of manure application on fate and transport of this diverse set of pathogens into surrounding waterways. We report on the use of 16S‐rRNA gene sequencing to detect pathogen‐containing genera in the agriculturally dominated South Fork Iowa River watershed, home to approximately 840,000 swine in the 76,000‐ha basin. DNA was extracted from monthly grab samples collected from three surface water sites and two main artificial drainage outlets. DNA sequences from water samples were matched with sequences from genera known to contain pathogens using targeted 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. The specific genera known to contain pathogens were quantified by combining percentage of genera sequence matches with 16S rRNA gene quantitative polymerase chain reaction results. Specifically, abundances of Bacteroides, Clostridium sensu stricto, and Acinetobacter significantly increased in surface water after typical fall manure application. Additionally, the likely transport pathways for specific genera known to contain pathogens were identified. Surface water Enterobacter concentrations were influenced mainly by artificial drainage, whereas Clostridium sensu stricto was primarily transported to surface waters by runoff events. The results of this study will help us to understand environmental pathways that may be useful for mitigation of the diverse set of pathogenic genera transported in agroecosystems and the capability of manure application to alter existing microbial community structures.

Core Ideas

Bacteroides increased in surface water following typical manure application.

Enterobacter was likely transported to surface water through artificial drainage.

Clostridium sensu stricto was primarily transported to surface water by overland flow.

Escherichia is not a suitable indicator of other genera known to contain pathogens in a water sample.
Genetics of Inbreeding Effects in Smooth Bromegrass
Authors: Spanani Soheila , Majidi Mohammad Mahdi , Hughes Nia
Published: August 2018

Limited knowledge is available on the effects of deliberate selfing on morphological traits and genetic parameters in smooth bromegrass (Bromus inermisLeyss). To gain an enhanced understanding of these effects, 25 parental clones of smooth bromegrass along with 25 full‐sib (S1) and 25 half‐sib (open‐pollinated [OP]) progenies were generated in 2012 and used to assess the consequences of first‐generation inbreeding during 2013 and 2014 in a field experiment. A high genetic variation was observed among and within the S1and OP progenies and parental clones. Different levels of inbreeding depression were observed for traits of days to anthesis, plant height, spread, and dry matter yield. Principal component analysis separated lines into three groups roughly corresponding to S1, OP, and parental clones, indicating that changes in mating system could rapidly change the genetic structure of populations. Large genetic variations were observed for inbreeding depression among the parental clones. Heritabilities ranged from 0.16 for dry matter (%) to 0.85 for spreading ability. The self‐pollinated progenies exhibited a higher heritability than the other progenies. The high correlations of forage yield with plant height, number of shoots per plant, and spread make it possible to improve forage yield via indirect selection. Results indicated that the magnitude of inbreeding depression varied among the genotypes and traits. Therefore, selection for low inbreeding depression rates is possible in this species, which may facilitate development of inbred lines for future breeding studies.

Dentre os 5.886 artigos, 4.018 foram publicados em colaboração interinstitucional, sendo 1.130 em coautoria entre instituições brasileiras e 2.888 em coautoria com instituições estrangeiras. Apenas 1.868 artigos (31,74%) foram escritos por uma única instituição, representando, possivelmente, o grupo que realiza pesquisas teóricas na área. Foram identificadas 1.175 instituições, dentre elas 1.021 são instituições estrangeiras (86,89%) e 154 são instituições brasileiras (13,11%). Conclui que há um volume pequeno de instituições brasileiras que atuam na pesquisa na área de FAE e existe forte internacionalização da pesquisa brasileira na área. A análise de redes revela a existencia de quatro clusters conforme regiões geográficas do Brasil, demonstrando que a proximidade geográfica entre dois ou mais parceiros serve como estímulo para a colaboração.

Análise Espacial do Desenvolvimento e das Desigualdades no Território Sudoeste Baiano
Authors: Figueiredo Allisianne Krystina Saraiva de
Published: August 2018

Este estudo objetiva analisar o desenvolvimento do Território do Sudoeste Baiano (TSB), sob a perspectiva multidimensional, identificando as disparidades e semelhanças entre os municípios que o compõem. Parte-se, incialmente, de uma revisão de literatura baseada em teorias de economia regional, mais especificamente sobre o desenvolvimento desigual entre as regiões. A partir de indicadores sociais, econômicos, demográficos, político-institucionais, ambientais e culturais, a Análise Fatorial para reduzir esse conjunto de variáveis facilitando a análise dos indicadores. A partir dos escores fatoriais, realizou-se a análise de agrupamento considerando as similaridades entre os municípios com as dimensões analisadas. Verificou-se uma grande concentração do crescimento econômico e do desenvolvimento no município de Vitória da Conquista, principal centro-urbano do Território. Em todas as dimensões analisadas os municípios apresentaram uma dinâmica econômica pouco expressiva, associada ao baixo desempenho em indicadores sociais, resultando em um desenvolvimento desigual e heterogêneo. A análise fatorial revelou o crescimento econômico e a infraestrutura como os fatores determinantes do desenvolvimento e das desigualdades no TSB, e também possibilitou hierarquizar os municípios, em ordem de melhor para a pior condição. A análise de agrupamento apontou três grupos distintos quanto ao desenvolvimento, confirmando o cenário de heterogeneidade existente no TSB, em que Vitória da Conquista apresenta desempenho bastante diferente dos demais municípios. Constatou-se polarização e concentração do crescimento econômico resultante da pouca atratividade econômica da maioria dos municípios que compõem o Território. Essas análises podem subsidiar políticas de gestão e planejamento territorial, para reduzir as disparidades nesse Território.
A promoção do desenvolvimento sustentável e a teoria marxista dos preços: uma análise da importância das rendas diferenciais
Authors: Silva Neto Benedito
Published: August 2018

Os problemas ecológicos que ameaçam a sustentabilidade do desenvolvimento das sociedades contemporâneas têm salientado a importância dos efeitos da escassez dos recursos naturais sobre a atividade econômica, especialmente a sua influência sobre os preços. Neste artigo argumentamos que, no marxismo, a análise de tal fenômeno é dificultada pelo papel limitado atribuído às rendas diferenciais na formação dos preços, o que contribui para explicar a postura produtivista de algumas correntes marxistas. Na primeira seção é analisada uma curva de oferta a partir da qual é demonstrado que os preços, quantitativamente, correspondem a custos marginais. Na segunda seção é proposto um modelo da teoria da renda diferencial que permite uma interpretação marxista dos preços como valores marginais. Na terceira seção, o modelo é empregado para demonstrar a incompatibilidade da teoria marxista da renda diferencial com o pressuposto da equalização das taxas de lucro como uma condição necessária à formação de preços eficientes. Conclui-se que a teoria da renda diferencial de Marx deve ser empregada para analisar a formação dos preços de maneira mais ampla do que como ela é normalmente considerada, na medida em que a formação de rendas diferenciais sempre ocorre quando as relações entre preço e produção podem ser descritas por uma função crescente, o que torna o lucro um critério ineficiente para a alocação de recursos. Assim, os resultados obtidos evidenciam que os problemas decorrentes da inadequada precificação dos recursos naturais têm origem nas contradições, típicas do capitalismo, provocadas pela apropriação privada das riquezas sociais por meio do lucro

The performance of Horizontal Sub-Surface Flow Constructed Wetland (HSSFCW) to remove high ammonia content in catfish processing wastewater was investigated. A rectangular HSSFCW with 6 m long, 3 m wide ,1 m deep and divided into 3 compartments was used. Gravel beds were used as medium. Canna sp, Heliconia sp., and Papirus sp. were planted with plant density 10 plants per m2. The result showed that removal of ammonia was 67-87%, nitrite was 26-96%, nitrate was 35-99%. Ammonia removal relies on the efficient nitrification that requires sufficient amount of oxygenand organic carbon source to obtain optimum removal.

Waste water from textile industry contain pollutant whit in certain concentration. To protect the environment and water bodies, wastewater containing pollutant must be treated before discharging into the environment. Anaerobic biological treatment has been used as a method in treating textile industry waste water. Several factors of conventional anaerobic treatment needs to be repaired in order to improve the performance of treating wastewater. A selected microorganisms as inoculum was expected to increase effectivity of waste water biodegradation. In this study a selected microorganisms was used as inoculum in the form of immobilized and free cells in anaerobic treatment of waste water from textile industry and compared with conventional sludge. Results from this study show that selected-immobilized microorganisms achieved the best performance due to its stability and efficiency in removing pollutant in the waste water. Mean while microorganisms in the form of free cells got the lowest performance in treating waste water, estimated due to its sensitivity of environmental conditions and having low mechanical strength of biomass.Immobilized cells succesfully treated waste water from textile industry, removal of pollutant in suspended solid parameter  reached on 93,78% mean while, in oil grease, BOD5 and COD parameter reached on 99,13%, 81,54% and 64,94% respectively. Pollutant in amonia parameter has not been fully treated in this experiment due to condition of the experiment system was anaerobic instead of aerobic.
The Single Supervisory Mechanism in the context of a European Banking Union under construction: bridging the Euro debt crisis with defences designed for the future
Authors: Carmo Rui do
Published: August 2018

Set up in the past few years under the shadow of the Euro debt crisis, the European Banking Union (EBU) has been taking its first steps, aiming to prevent the dreaded repetition of the recent shortcomings of the several components of the European Monetary Union (EMU). By revisiting some specific events that led to the Euro crisis, this paper seeks to provide some insights on the understanding of the set-up of the Single Supervisory Mechanism (SSM), in the context of the broader conjunction of the several instruments put forward to provide the EBU with the resilience to prevent future crises. The text provides a brief background of the events that triggered the need for setting up the EBU, followed by an overview of its different constitutive elements and, finally, a critical analysis of the most prominent aspects of the SSM.
