Authors:   Academy of Civil Protection of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, TSYBAKOV D.L.
Published: May 2021

The article is devoted to the use of the potential of international political communi-cations in the process of strengthening the collective security of the Collective Se-curity Treaty Organization at the beginning of the XXI century. It is proved that in the course of the growth of military-political expansionism in the near abroad of Russia, the use of political communication technologies in the form of "soft power" and "public diplomacy"is being revised. There is a transition to imperative forms of international political communication, which creates challenges and threats to Russian interests in the information and communication and humanitarian spheres. Russia needs to reorient its political communication system to actively educate the civil communities and governments of the CIS countries about the role of the CSTO as a guarantor of international stability in the post-Soviet space.

Published: May 2021

The analysis of the structure of digital communications of political parties is actualized by the proximity to the electoral cycle of 2021. Referendum-2021 will show the level of public support for the current socio-political course and, possibly, will change the political balance in the State Parliament. The purpose of this study is to present the results of an automated analysis of the party communication digital markers and regulation strategies by online network communities of political parties. The methods of data collection and analysis were the analysis of social graphs (the structure and density of user connections within social media communities) using proprietary software and cognitive mapping of political party digital content with the creation of a database and its analysis via the SPSS Statistics 24.0. The cases of empirical analysis were the political parties of the Russian Federation - participants of the Referendum-2020. As a result of the study, all online party groups-analysis cases are segmented into three clusters: groups regulated by online macroleaders; communities managed by online microleaders; groups with «horizontal connections» that do not have influential influencers. For each type of community, the features of the social media communication content are defined. In conclusion, recommendations on the organization of social and media support for the activities of political parties are formulated.

Published: May 2021

The purpose of the article is to consider the application of the author's model of modernization of the management mechanism of a municipality, taking into account regional characteristics. Establishing relationships between the management mechanism of a municipality and a region requires the use of an integrated approach that contributes to the modernization of this process in accordance with the principles and factors of digital development of the environment. The conceptual approach is a tool that allows, on the one hand, to modernize the management mechanism of a municipality according to a given algorithm, and on the other hand, it contributes to assessing the current state of functioning of the studied territories. Research methodology: the author uses the method of theoretical foundations in identifying the features of the conceptual approach in the issue of modernizing the management mechanism of a municipality. A modeling method in the process of applying a conceptual approach to the modernization of the management mechanism of a municipality, taking into account regional characteristics, as well as methods for data differentiation and quantitative assessment. As a result, the author's model of the conceptual approach to the modernization of the management mechanism of a municipality, taking into account regional development, was formed. Indicators for assessing the management mechanism are proposed to simulate the model of the management mechanism of a municipality, taking into account the regional characteristics of the development of these territories.

Published: May 2021

Cardiac surgery in patients already implanted with subcutaneous
implantable cardioverter defibrillators (S-ICD) represents a challenge.
Although a few reports described successful surgical procedures in these
patients, a traditional approach with median sternotomy might
potentially cause S-ICD malfunctioning. Minimally invasive techniques
(e.g. left anterior thoracotomy) should be considered the first choice
in order to preserve the integrity of the S-ICD system in suitable
patients. Herein, we provide the first report of a patient implanted
with S-ICD due to post-ischemic left ventricular dysfunction who
underwent successful minimally invasive direct coronary artery bypass
(MIDCAB).

Authors: Fireizen Yaron , Shahriary Cyrus , Imperial Maria , Randhawa Inderpal , Nianiaris Nastasia , Ovunc Bugsu
Published: May 2021

Background: Perinuclear anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (P-ANCA),
a subset of ANCA, are associated with a multisystem vasculitis affecting
small blood vessels in the body. A handful of adult patients who
developed vasculitis post-COVID-19 infection have been reported.
Although COVID-19 infection has been shown to drive an exaggerated
immune response in the pediatric population, such as MIS-C (multisystem
inflammatory syndrome in children), only one case of vasculitis
following COVID-19 infection has been reported previously in children.
Case presentation: Seventeen-year-old male with a past medical history
of COVID-19 pneumonia two months prior presented with acute kidney
injury/failure and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). Rheumatologic
workup revealed P-ANCA and Myeloperoxidase (MPO) positivity. Kidney
biopsy showed necrotizing glomerulonephritis with limited immune complex
deposition. Subsequently, he was treated with pulse steroids,
plasmapheresis, and ultimately started on cyclophosphamide. Conclusions:
To our knowledge, this report presents the second reported pediatric
case of P-ANCA / MPO vasculitis following COVID-19 infection.

Published: May 2021

Background Diabetic neuropathy is a complication seen in diabetic
patients and involves motor, sensory or autonomic nerve fibres due to
minor vessel damage. Aims This study was planned to determine the
knowledge and awareness levels of physicians working in family health
centres about diabetic neuropathy and their approach to diabetic
neuropathy. Methodology Our study is a cross-sectional descriptive study
conducted in 111 family health centres in Denizli. The data were
obtained by face to face questionnaire method. Results Of the 219 people
participating in the study, 70.8% (n = 155) were male and 6.8% (n =
15) were family medicine specialists. 52.5% (n = 115) of the
participants allocated 6-10 minutes of examination time to diabetes
mellitus patients, 77.6% (n = 170) did not receive diabetic neuropathy
training after graduation, and 44.3% (n = 97) ) had not previously
diagnosed any patient with diabetic neuropathy. 74.4% of the
participants (n = 163) stated that they did not use any diabetic
neuropathy diagnosis and screening tests in their daily practice. 31%
(n = 68) of the participants stated that their level of knowledge on
diabetic neuropathy was either poor or very poor. 45.7% of the
participants (n = 100) thought diabetic neuropathy screening, diagnosis,
treatment and follow-up could be made in primary care. 89.5% (n = 196)
of the participants stated that they needed training on diabetic
neuropathy. Those who rely on their knowledge and clinical experience in
diagnosing, monitoring and treating diabetic neuropathy were 44.3% of
the participants (n = 97). Conclusion Although diabetic neuropathy is
one of the most critical complications of diabetes mellitus, there is a
severe insufficiency in postgraduate education in primary health care
services. Simple tests and methods for physicians working in primary
care should be included in the daily polyclinic routine.

Published: May 2021

Adoptive cell immunotherapy with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell
has brought a revolutionary means of treatment for aggressive diseases
such as hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. Over the last decade,
FDA approved three types of CAR-T cells against CD19 hematologic
malignancies, including Tisagenlecleucel (Kymriah), Axicabtagene
ciloleucel (Yescarta), and Brexucabtagene autoleucel (Tecartus). Despite
outstanding results gained from different clinical trials, CAR-T cell
therapy is not free from side effects and toxicities, and needs careful
investigations and improvements. Gene-editing technology, clustered
regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/
CRISPR-associated protein 9 (Cas9) system has emerged as a promising
tool to address some of the CAR-T therapy hurdles. Using CRISPR/Cas9
technology, CAR expression as well as other cellular pathways can be
modified in various ways to enhance CAR-T cell’s anti-tumor function and
persistence in immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. CRISPR/Cas9
technology can also be utilized to reduce CAR-T cells toxicity and side
effects. Hereby, we discuss the practical challenges and hurdles related
to the accuracy, efficiency, efficacy, safety and delivery of
CRISPR/Cas9 technology to the genetically engineered-T cells. Combining
of these two state-of-the-art technologies, CRISPR/Cas9 and CAR-T cells,
the field of oncology has an extraordinary opportunity to enter a new
era of immunotherapy, which offers novel therapeutic options for
different types of tumors.

Backgroud The long-term outcomes of this combined procedure remain
elusive. This meta-analysis aimed to assess the long-term efficacy and
safety of combined procedure. Methods PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library,
and Web of Science were systematically searched from the establishment
of databases to 1 January 2021. Studies on the long-term (defined as a
mean follow-up of approximately 12 months or longer) efficacy and safety
outcomes of combined ablation and LAAC were included for meta-analysis.
Results A total of 16 studies comprising 1,428 patients were included in
the meta-analysis. The pooled long term freedom rate from atrial
arrhythmia was 0.66 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.59-0.71),
long-term successful rate sealing of LAAC was 1.00 (95% CI, 1.00-1.00),
and ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack/systemic embolism during
follow-up was 0.01 (95% CI, 0.00-0.02). Meanwhile, the rates of
peri-procedural adverse events included phrenic nerve palsy,
intracoronary air embolus, device embolization, peri-procedural death of
0.00 (95% CI, 0.00-0.00), procedure-related bleeding events of 0.03
(95% CI, 0.02-0.04), and pericardial effusion requiring or not
requiring intervention of 0.00 (95% CI, 0.00-0.01). Moreover, the rates
of long-term adverse events rate included device dislocation,
intracranial bleeding, and pericardial effusion requiring or not
requiring intervention, and all-cause mortality of 0.00 (95% CI,
0.00-0.00), device embolization of 0.01 (95% CI, 0.00-0.01), and other
bleeding events of 0.01 (95% CI, 0.00-0.03). Conclusion This
meta-analysis suggests that the strategy of combined atrial ablation and
LAAC is effective and safe during long-term follow-up
The Ideal Language Student ‒ Myth or Reality

Published: May 2021

The image of the ideal student, existing in the era of new technologies, ubiquitous Twitter and Facebook, messengers and commercials, undoubtedly attracts the attention of researchers both at home and abroad. This is a cumulative image of cognitive abilities, business qualities, psycho-physiological peculiarities, appearance and interpersonal skills. This study aims to identify the main characteristics of the image of the ideal language student as perceived by the teachers of foreign languages from three leading universities: Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), Plekhanov Russian Economics University and The Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration. The relevance of the study is determined by insufficient research of the problem and qualitative changes which have been occurring over the 21st century in education in general and tertiary education in particular. The article attempts to describe and analyse the results of an anonymous survey pertaining to the image of ideal language students as perceived by the practicing instructors of foreign languages. The total number of respondents was 79, including 42 instructors from Plekhanov University, 22 from the Presidential Academy and 15 from MSU. The analysis of the responses showed that the ideal student as perceived by the teachers is the one who possesses good critical thinking skills, is motivated and disciplined with a serious attitude to study. The obtained results do not allow drawing conclusions about specific features of the ideal student depending on the length of pedagogical experience. Each age group included all possible sets of characteristics. It is noteworthy that teachers from MSU valued both social qualities (team work, sociability) and personality traits (diligence, decency); the instructors from the Presidential Academy ranked first adequate reaction to critique and willingness to listen and hear; while their counterparts from Plekhanov University emphasized the importance of good presentation skills, speaking and communication competency alongside the interest in the subject. The statement “There are no ideal students” also came from among the practitioners of Plekhanov University.

this study is focused on analysing further education as an integrative pivot of lifelong learning. Modern universities are currently undergoing changes in terms of transformation into entrepreneurial units aimed at commercialization of educational services including further educational programs. The topicality of the research is stipulated by the global urge to stay competitive in the saturated educational services market due to the increasing number of institutions both state and private rendering educational services. The aim of the study is to reveal the needs for further education of representatives among young and academic audiences and devise a course syllabus within further educational programs relevant to the detected requirements of potential listeners. The authors put forward a hypothesis suggesting that there are courses whose unique selling points might be attractive to learners. The results obtained through the questionnaires demonstrated that students and academic staff envision an ideal course to meet all their educational needs in a different way which gives momentum to reconsider the format of rendering educational services and recompose further educational programs making them client-friendly in terms of duration, group size, location, range of courses available and flexibility regarding program contents. The results of the study are of significance due to the fact that further educational programs will be far more susceptible to the needs and requirements of the target audience possessing such features as adjustability, flexibility and modularity.

Published: May 2021

Currently, entrepreneurs are pursuing various kinds of strategies to expand their marketing share and strengthen their business identity in the midst of new products that have emerged by presenting updates in accordance with existing interests in the market. The partner in this community service activity is Mrs Sukarini, a donut snack entrepreneur from Kukuh Village, Tabanan Regency, which is usually consumed by children and adults as well as for religious activities. Currently, businesses owned by partners are experiencing obstacles in expanding market share, branding on donut packaging which is still relatively simple and the need to add flavors to donuts. The solution that can be given is to socialize and assist digital marketing and packaging branding. The results of the evaluation with partners in this community service activity were that the donut flavor variants that were given also received a positive response from consumers which at the same time resulted in an increase in donut sales compared to the previous month, thus increasing the business profit figures. Marketing through social media and branding also has a big role because Mrs. Sukarini gets orders for donuts over the phone for religious ceremonies in the local area. In addition, partners are very happy to get additional knowledge about digital marketing and branding that can provide a positive aura for the progress of their business. Activities run well, smoothly and are felt to provide benefits to partners in addition to knowledge but also in the form of strategies to build identity, build consumer trust and increase the selling power of donut snacks.

Pluri-versalismo transmoderno decolonial en la crisis civilizatoria: una lectura clave a Grosfoguel
Authors: Canaza Choque Franklin Américo
Published: May 2021

La enorme carga que representa la crisis planetaria al que la humanidad la ha acarreado sobre un canon epistémico occidentalocéntrico requiere de una réplica. Para Ramón Grosfoguel, cambiar la geopolítica del conocimiento de sistema mundo moderno/ colonial capitalista/ patriarcal por una mirada y posicionamiento estructural desde el pluriversalismo transmoderno decolonial, es encontrar en el paquete de relaciones de poder no solo contenidos económicos, políticos y militares, sino una amplia gama de articulaciones que fueron soterrados por una modernidad eurocentrada. En este texto teórico-reflexivo se analiza de manera sucinta el despliegue de los estudios de Grosfoguel, quien se posiciona dentro del marco de la descolonización y de un diálogo crítico intercultural Norte-Sur Global. Apodícticamente, su corte decolonial es una ruptura con el universalismo monotópico eurocéntrico.
ABSTRACT
The enormous burden that represents the planetary crisis to which humanity has brought it on a canon epistemic occidentalocéntrico requires a replica. For Ramón Grosfoguel, to change the geopolitics of knowledge of the modern world system/ colonial capitalist/ patriarchal by a look and positioning structural from the pluriversalismo transmoderno decolonial, is to find in the package of power relations not only contents economic, political and military, but a wide range of articulations that were buried by a eurocentric modernity. In this theoretical-reflective text is analyzed in a concise way the deployment of the studies of Grosfoguel, who is positioned within the framework of decolonization and of a critical dialog intercultural North-South Global. Apodícticamente, its decolonial cut is a rupture with the monotopic universalism eurocentric.

Mikro Parametrelerin Makro Mekanik Kaya Davranışı Üzerindeki Etkisi: Ayrık Elemanlar Yöntemiyle Model Kalibrasyonu
Authors: Dinç Göğüş Özge
Published: May 2021

Mühendislik yapılarının içinde veya üzerinde inşa edilen kayalarla nasıl bir etkileşim içinde olacağını
anlamada sayısal modelleme yöntemleri oldukça etkileyeceği bilgiler sunmaktadır. Ancak bu bilgilerin mevcut kaya
ortamını ne denli temsil edici olduğu oluşturulan sayısal modelin güvenilirliğine bağlıdır. Bu nedenle bir modelin
oluşturulmasında etkili olan mikro parametrelerin en doğru şekilde kalibre edilmesi ve model sonuçlarının, modelin
çözünürlüğünden ve/veya boyutlarından bağımsız olması gerekmektedir. Son yıllarda kaya gibi karmaşık katı
yapıların mekanik davranışlarının belirlenmesinde yaygın olarak ayrık elemanlar yöntemi (DEM) kullanılmaktadır.
Söz konusu çalışmanın amacı, bu yönteme dayanan sayısal bir modelin oluşturulmasında gerekli mikro parametrelerin,
bir kayanın makro mekanik özellikleri ve deformasyon davranışı üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Her bir mikro
parametrenin ayrı ayrı ele alındığı çalışmada, Yade açık kaynaklı DEM kodu kullanılarak çok sayıda tek eksenli
sıkışma, tek eksenli çekme ve üç eksenli sıkışma dayanım deneyi simülasyonları yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar,
kayaların tek eksenli sıkışma dayanımının (UCS) öncelikle mikro-kohezyona, tek eksenli çekme dayanımının (UTS)
ise birincil olarak partiküller arası çekme dayanımına bağlı olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca bu iki dayanım özelliği
mikro-elastisite modülü ve rijitlik oranıyla da güçlü bir etkileşim içindedir. Kayaların deformasyon özelliklerinden
olan Young modülü (E) ve Poisson oranı (ν) ise doğrudan mikro-elastisite modülü ve rijitlik oranı ile denetlenmektedir.
Mikro-içsel sürtünme açısındaki artış kayanın yenilme zarfının eğimini artırırken, dayanım oranının (UCS/UTS)
saptanması deney simülasyonları başlamadan önce atanan koordinasyon sayısıyla belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışma sayısal
model parametrelerinin birbirleriyle olan etkileşimlerine göre bir kayanın dayanım ve deformasyon özelliklerinin
bağlı olduğu koşulları göstermektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, mühendislik yapılarının inşasında karşılaşılacak kaya
davranışlarını önceden kestirebilen sayısal modellerin geliştirilmesinde uygulanabilir, pratik ve yol gösterici bilgiler
sunmaktadır.

Authors: Werdiningsih Indah
Published: May 2021

This study aims to investigate how cartoon film based-discussion can improve students’ speaking. This Classroom Action Research was conducted at SMA Muhammadiyah 3 Jember. The subjects of the study were 22 female and 10 male students. The data were collected through English speaking test. From the test result, cartoon film based-discussion was very effective; there was a significant increase in student’s speaking skill (M=76.09 in Cycle 1 to M=77.28 in Cycle 2) and students’ active participation (76.56% - 79.68%). This leads to conclusion that cartoon film based-discussion can improve students’ speaking and active participation by three main factors; First, they can discuss about particular topics in the discussion before taking the Speaking test. Second, cartoon film succeeds to stimulate students’ mind in collecting vocabularies during watching. Third, students’ grammar and pronunciation are also increased because they are accustomed to the structure of English subtitle provided in the movie.

Pomace is the solid residue by-product resulting from the extraction of olive oil. Their high content of organic compounds gives them the possibility of being used also as green manure. We have tried this amendment approach on two varieties of cherry grown in the Tlemcen region. The Sunburst and the Black Bigarreau. Its use in combination with N.P.K fertilizers increases the carbon content of the soil, boosts the formation of May bouquets, and improves the water-holding capacity of the clay-humic complex. The results of this study showed that olive pomace used as a fertilizer, alone or in combination with N.P.K mineral fertilizers creates an advantage on the phenological and biochemical aspect, especially on the Black Bigarreau variety.
Resource Integration, Value Co-Creation, and Service-dominant Logic in Music Marketing: The Case of the TikTok Platform
Authors: Toscher Benjamin
Published: May 2021

It is a fact that the past research has explored service-dominant logic (S-D logic) and value co-creation in music marketing (Choi & Burnes 2013; Gamble & Gilmorex 2013; Gamble 2018; Saragih 2019), yet a key aspect of S-D logic, namely resource integration, is an unexplored territory and a promising phenomenon of study. A scattering of evidence demonstrates how actors, whether individuals or organisations, in the music industry are making value propositions and providing operand resources to users of platforms (Poell, Nieborg, & Van Dijck 2019), which may result in resource integration and commercial success at a quick pace and on a global scale. Using secondary data in an archival research approach (Welch 2000), this paper examines TikTok, a rapidly growing platform where users integrate short (e.g., under 15 s) clips of commercial music into user generated video content in which users dance to, lip-sync with, accept social challenges, integrate hashtags and create memes based on musical content. Further, there is a discussion on evidence about how music is being used by actors on TikTok in order to argue that (a) S-D logic (Vargo & Lusch 2016) is an insightful perspective through which one is able to understand music marketing; (b) music providers essentially make value propositions with their music that other actors, such as music consumers, can integrate into their lives through platforms like TikTok; (c) changes in technology affect such resource integration and how actors in the music industry can adapt to such change; (d) value-in-social-context (Edvardsson, Tronvoll, & Gruber 2010) is a driver of resource integration by users on the platform; and (e) this example of value created by users on TikTok is just one example of the many types of value which guide action and interaction on today’s music platforms. The discussion and analysis is concluded with several implications for research and practice.
Co-constitutive complexityUnpacking Google’s privacy policy and terms of service post-GDPR

Google is the gateway to the Internet for billions of people. However, to use Google’s multiple platforms and services, users must accept Google’s terms. With the advent of the EU’s GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation), Google made significant changes to these terms. In this article, we scrutinise the intertextual relations between Google’s privacy policies and terms of service (ToS) and the GDPR – and the discursive co-constitutive complexity within and between these frameworks. We argue that the material and communicative articulation of Google’s privacy policies and ToS should be understood as deliberative data politics delimiting users’ agency, consent, and privacy. Furthermore, we emphasise complexity and the demands of reducing complexity as two opposing dynamics. While the GDPR required Google to make its terms and policies clearer and more understandable, ironically, in the process of accommodating GDPR’s demand of increased transparency, the discursive complexity of Google’s policies has in fact increased.

A three-year field experiment (52.169°N, 22.280°E), in which each treatment was replicated three times, was set up in a randomised split-plot design in the autumn of 2011. The main experimental factors were soil conditioners with the trade names such as UGmax, Eko-Użyźniacz and Humus Active Papka, which were applied on their own and with mineral fertilisers. They were applied to the soil with two forage grasses: the Bora variety of Dactylis glomerata and Lolium perenne of the Info variety. The results were processed statistically with the multi-factor analysis of variance with a significance level of P≤0.05, whereas the differences between means were verified with Tukey’s test. The Statistica 12 program was used to do all the calculations. Compared to the control, soil conditioners (UGmax, Humus Active and Eko-Użyźniacz) did not reduce carbohydrate content in grass significantly. This proves that they can be applied to grass. Combination of mineral fertilisers with soil conditioners, relative to the control, resulted in about 15% increase in digestible protein content. Comparing all the plots, without the control, the ratio of non-structural carbohydrates to protein was the most favourable in the grass from plots where UGmax or nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium (NPK) fertiliser or a combination of both was applied.

Published: May 2021

The article presents the results of the inventory of greenhouse gas emissions from motor vehicles in Poland in 2015. The inventory was developed in accordance with the applicable guidelines for the annual greenhouse gas emission inventory (Decision 24/CP.19 of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) by the National Centre for Emissions Management and Balancing (KOBiZE) at the Institute of Environmental Protection – the National Research Institute. The national annual gas emissions from road transport are presented, including: carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide along with emissions of the above gases converted into carbon dioxide equivalents. Carbon dioxide makes up the largest share in carbon dioxide emissions. This is particularly evident in the case of road transport – the emission of gases other than carbon dioxide (methane and nitrous oxide) is several orders of magnitude lower than the emission of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide emissions from road transport account currently for approximately 14% of the total carbon dioxide emission in Poland.

This article refers to the biology and ecology of stingless bees (Meliponini), living in tropical and subtropical areas. Similar to honey bees (Apis mellifera), stingless bees (Meliponini) belong to the category of proper social insects and are at the highest level of social development. This group of insects comprises about 500 species and they are the most common bees pollinating the native plants in many tropical areas. Families of stingless bees are usually quite numerous, reaching up to 100,000 individuals. They are characterised by polymorphism, age polyethism and perennialism. This article presents the structural complexity of natural nesting of these tropical insects and their ability to settle in artificial nest traps. The main significance of stingless bees for humans is their role in the natural environment as pollinators, which is an essential factor influencing biodiversity.

Peat mineralisation leads to net loss of CO2 to the atmosphere, as well as to release of other elements from the decomposed soil organic matter (SOM) to groundwater. This results in the degradation of peat soils and the ecosystems they support. Here we evaluated the practical indicatory suitability of the existing and proposed new indices for the assessment of peat soil degradation in the Biebrza river valley encompassing, unique on European scale, peatland ecosystems. We studied relationships between soil organic carbon (SOC) and total nitrogen (Ntot), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) in a series of degraded peat soils in the Biebrza valley. Samples were taken from soils developed on peat deposits that varied in thickness and the degree of peat decomposition, from undegraded to highly mineralised peats. The relationships between changes in the SOC content and changes in the values of the remaining variables (SOM, Ntot, DOC, DON, C/N ratio), were statistically tested. Linear and non-linear regressions were used to establish the relationships amongst the variables examined. The losses of soil C and N occur independently and differ between stages of peat soil mineralisation. From our study, it results that the peat mineralisation intensity may be estimated based on the loss of SOC. We found that 1% loss of SOC corresponded to 1.028% loss of SOM, regardless of the degree of peat soil mineralisation, whereas SOM solubility, measured by the content of DOC, varied based on the intensity of peat soil mineralisation. The content of DOC decreased with the decrease in the SOC content, whereas the DOC/ SOC ratio increased depending on the intensity of peat decomposition. The C/N ratio is not a reliable indicator of peat mineralisation, because its values are driven not only by the nitrogen natively present in peat soils but also by nitrogen from external sources. The contents of SOC and Ntot did not decrease uniformly during peat decomposition because C and N show various mobility in the processes of SOM mineralisation. We found that the DOC/SOC ratio was most indicative of peat soil mineralisation intensity.

Published: May 2021

The amount of used and worn out tires around the world reaches about 10 million tons. Rubber introduction to the environment in this shape is connected with its pollution, caused by tires’ chemical composition, which, apart from synthetic and natural rubber, contain soot as a filler, plasticizers having some amounts of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and helping substances: activators, accelerator of vulcanization, cross-link means and homogenizers. The most important activator is zinc oxide. The aim of the conducted studies was to determine the influence of rubber rag added to the subsoil on the amount of yield, physiological state and the amount of taken zinc by maize (Zea mays). It was found that the rubber rag introduced into the soil caused an increase in the yield of maize and the plants growing on the soil with the highest amount of rubber rag showing higher efficiency photosynthetic apparatus than others. The zinc content in the aboveground parts of maize increased with the increase of rubber rag in the soil.
Innovative process solutions in the field of water decarbonisation as an element of integrated management in environmental protection – A case study
Authors: Kamiński Arkadiusz , Nadrowski Michał
Published: May 2021

Most waters in Poland are classified as medium or very hard. In case of industrial waters, their chemical composition and physical parameters play an essential role. The water ought to be soft and should not contain dissolved salts and gases. This water, which has not undergone a softening process, may cause damage to heating devices and boiler scale within a few years. Therefore, water softening is mainly used for heating and energy purposes. However, an important issue is technological processes in which water is used both as a product additive or as an agent in exchange of heat and mass [Reference Document…2001; Nawrocki, Biłozor 2000; Kiedryńska, Papciak, Granops 2006; Biłozor 2012].

The aim of the work was to determine the effect of changes in the proportion of decarbonised water in the process water stream on its parameters (oxidability, general hardness) and parameters of cooling water in water cycles. The possibility of limiting the consumption of raw water to the processes carried out on the premises of the plant and the possibilities of improving energy efficiency in the area of water and wastewater management with a variable stream of decarbonised water in the technological water was checked. It was found that the increase in the share of decarbonised water in the technological and cooling water stream is important in the implementation of process solutions in this area and has a positive effect on reducing costs related to the operational functioning of the water and wastewater management area.
