Authors: Yavuz Sinan , Avc Ali , Tunc Feyat , Ekin Sabahattin
Published: July 2023

Aim: According to the World Health Organization (WHO) data, poisonings are still a significant reason for mortality and morbidity in the childhood group. The rapid technological developments and the change in socio-cultural structures have caused an increase in chemical substances in homes, and the easy access of children to these chemicals has increased the possibility of poisoning. We aimed to make a retrospective analysis of patients with a diagnosis of poisoning hospitalized in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU).
Materials and methods: The current clinical study is a retrospective, observational, single-center study and contains children adopted to the tertiary PICU of the 16-bed Batman Training and Research Hospital between March 2021 and March 2022 with a diagnosis of acute poisoning.
Results: Forty patients were female (56.3%), and 31 patients were male (43.7%). All patients were admitted to the intensive care unit for advanced and supportive treatment. Supportive treatment was sufficient for 42 patients (59.2%). As advanced treatment; N-acetylcysteine infusion was given to 14 patients (19.7), oxygen to 3 patients (4.2%), inotropic support to 2 patients (2.8%), mechanical ventilatory support to 1 patient (1.4%), and antidote to 1 patient (1.4%). No mortality was observed, but some patients progressed morbidly and needed a mechanical ventilator and inotropic agent support.
Conclusion: No mortality was observed, but some patients progressed morbidly and needed mechanical ventilatory support and inotropic agents. For this reason, the physician who first encounters the patient in the emergency department should evaluate each patient and the poison separately.
An Epigenetic Insight Into the Gliomas
Authors: YAVUZ Selda , BAYKARA Onur
Published: July 2023

Glioma is one of the most aggressive tumors that develop in the glial cells of the brain. It has subtypes such as astrocytomas, oligodendrogliomas and ependymomas. Gliomas comprise about 30% of all brain tumors and are mostly malignant. Gliomas are classified into four grades and the severity of the disease increases with the grade. Like many cancer types, development of gliomas is under the control of genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors. Epigenetics is the area that examines the expression changes in genes that do not change the structure of DNA, but cause behavioral changes in uncontrolled proliferation, growth, migration, death and many other processes in the cell by affecting the gene. Methylation, acetylation, micro RNAs (miRNAs), histone modifications are among the well-known epigenetic factors. This review aims to describe the most common and well-identified epigenetic changes that can result in glioma formation.

The article deals with conceptual issues and analysis of the problem of differential diagnosis of various granulomatosis depending on the etiological factor of granuloma, their prevalence in the practice of a phthisiologist, provides an overview of the literature data and own experience of differential diagnosis. The aim of the study. Study of the structure of various granulomatoses in an antituberculous institution based on the analysis of data registered in the Moscow city phthisiological institution. Materials and methods. It is based on data on the detection and observation of sarcoidosis, disseminated tuberculosis, mycobacteriosis, pneumonitis, vasculitis for decades on the basis of the head city joint phthisiological institution of Moscow GBUZ «Moscow City Scientific and Practical Center for Tuberculosis Control of the Department of Health of the City of Moscow». Results. Tuberculosis is an infectious disease, the causative agent of which Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MBT) causes an immune response with the formation of granulomatous inflammation. Granulomatous inflammation is a complex, cell–mediated immune response, the development of which requires the presence of a persistent antigen in macrophages. MBT is the most common, but not the only such antigen. Epithelioid cell granulomas develop in tuberculosis, sarcoidosis, mycobacteriosis, vasculitis, mycoses, pneumoconiosis, alveolitis and in some cases are identical in all diseases, with the same mechanism of transformation of macrophages into epithelioid cells and Pirogov–Langhans cells and the mechanism of granuloma formation. Depending on the etiological factor, granulomas may have certain structural features and involutions that can only be identified by examining a sufficient amount of morphological material. In this regard, in practice, the diagnosis of granulomatosis is traditionally a difficult task. One of the most important competitors of tuberculosis, as granulomatosis, is sarcoidosis. The results of unofficial statistics of sarcoidosis in Moscow for 1961-2019 on the frequency and structure of clinical forms, course variants, and outcomes considered, the incidence in representative samples by year and the prevalence of sarcoidosis of the respiratory organs in the metropolis are determined. The analysis of epidemiological indicators on disseminated tuberculosis in Moscow for 2012-2019 presented. Among various groups of the population. The spectrum of the main types of granulomatoses, other than tuberculosis, dropped out of phthisiological clinics in 2010-2020 has been determined.
Three-dimensional effects associated with the low-frequency breathing motion of a turbulent separation bubble
Authors: Steinfurth B. , Cura C. , Weiss J.
Published: July 2023

In this article, we address the low-frequency dynamics of a turbulent separation bubble (TSB) with a mean length of Lb ≈ 0.18 m that occurs in a one-sided diffuser at an inflow velocity of U∞ = 20 m/s. Distinct low-frequency content at Strouhal numbers of O(f Lb/U∞) = 0.01 is detected through time-resolved wall pressure measurements. By applying Spectral Proper Orthogonal Decomposition to velocity fluctuations in the diffuser symmetry plane, these pressure fluctuations can be linked to a large-scale longitudinal contraction/expansion motion falling into the same frequency range. Further velocity field measurements in cross-sections of one diffuser half-plane indicate that the mean flow field of the TSB is characterized by a near-surface outward-directed velocity component and a large-scale streamwise side wall vortex. During the expanded TSB state, however, these flow features are suppressed as the streamwise velocity is temporarily increased near the side wall but reduced near the symmetry plane. The results presented in this article suggest that the low-frequency breathing motion is a highly three-dimensional phenomenon. Future studies should address the associated complex dynamics that are shown to be governed by aperiodic events of temporary TSB expansion.

Voorspellers van chronische aspecifieke whiplashklachten na een verkeersongeluk. Een onderzoek onder schadebehandelaars en belangenbehartigers

Chronische aspecifieke klachten na een verkeersongeval vormen een complex probleem. In de praktijk spreekt men veelal van whiplash. In deze studie onderzoeken de auteurs welke groep mensen risico loopt op chronische klachten om, met het oog op herstel, vroegtijdig interventies in te kunnen zetten. We hebben via de Delphi-methode naar consensus gezocht onder belangenbehartigers en verzekeraars over voorspellende factoren van chronische klachten. Op 68% van de 178 voorgelegde stellingen is consensus bereikt, met name op sociale, psychosociale, fysieke, medische en juridische factoren. Een toevoeging aan de (inter)nationale literatuur is het belang van ‘life stressors’. De aandachtspunten uit dit onderzoek kunnen worden ingezet om vroegtijdige hulp te bieden ter voorkoming van het ontwikkelen van chronische klachten.

Published: July 2023

SETTING: Previous and current patients with drug-resistant TB (DR-TB) who had documented treatment-related hearing impairment due to second-line injectable (SLI) use were identified from different DR-TB treatment initiation centres in Ethiopia.OBJECTIVE: To assess
selected patients with DR-TB for eligibility for hearing aids and provide hearing aids to 10 eligible patients.DESIGN: This was an observational cohort study. Patients were followed up for 8 months, with hearing assessments conducted at 1, 3 and 8 months to objectively assess hearing
capacity.RESULTS: Of 12 patients assessed for hearing aids eligibility, 10 were fitted with hearing aids (type XTM XP P4) and followed up for 8 months. “Formal” improvement was observed only in one patient. However, “general quality of life” appeared to be
improved in nine patients.CONCLUSION: Minimal “formal” improvement was observed. However, the study was too small to say whether hearing aids should, or should not, be recommended as a public health measure. This needs a larger better controlled follow-up study. The
all-oral DR-TB treatment regimens should be used for all patients with DR-TB in Ethiopia. However, as a proportion of patients with DR-TB are likely to continue receiving SLIs in the foreseeable future, they will require close audiometry assessment and appropriate care.

O leite de búfala pode ser usado para consumo humano in natura e na indústria, gerando subprodutos com qualidade superior ao leite de outros animais. O rebanho brasileiro de búfalos está distribuído em todas as regiões principalmente no Norte e Sudeste, onde são utilizados para produção de carne, de leite, de couro, e também como tração animal. Considerada uma zoonose tropical, a leptospirose é reconhecida como um problema de saúde pública mundial devido à sua crescente prevalência em países desenvolvidos e em desenvolvimento. Nos bubalinos pode causar transtornos reprodutivos e sérios prejuízos na produção de carne e de leite, dificultando a viabilidade econômica do rebanho. Nas fêmeas infectadas podem ocorrer infertilidade, neonatos debilitados ou natimortos, redução nas taxas de concepção, morte fetal, e abortos. Os estudos sorológicos da leptospirose nos rebanhos bubalinos apontam altas taxas de prevalências entre 16% e 80%. O uso de antimicrobianos como a estreptomicina pode ser uma opção interessante para o tratamento principalmente para eliminar o portador renal. A prevenção da leptospirose pode ser realizada por meio da vacinação do rebanho, sendo uma medida de baixo custo e com resultados promissores de proteção.

Jzykowa funkcja bieli i czerni w powieci "Widnokrg" Wiesawa Myliwskiego
Authors: Kuska Wojciech
Published: July 2023

This article analyzes the linguistic function of white and black (and derived variants of grey) in Wiesaw Myliwskis novel Widnokrg. Analyzing the symbolism of white W. Kopaliski drew attention to its connotations related to the purity of spirit, soul and the joy of existence. The excerpted material proved that in many cases the linguistic creative function of white coincides with its reception. The binary nature of white is emphasized by the statue of a weeping tomb figure, which has been recalled many times, performing a funerary and mourning function. The symbolic value of black, stereotypically ascribed to phenomena perceived as evil and mourning, is represented in Widnokrg usually in the circle of negatively perceived phenomena and feelings. It is a permanent element of burials, as a traditional part of the funeral procession, performed by mourners clothes and props. Incidentally, this color elevates the ambivalently created characters by adding distinction to them.

The article discusses the lexis of East Slavonic provenance, excerpted from 17th-century borderland diaries of Samuel and Bogusaw Maskiewicz and Jan Antoni Chrapowicki. Vocabulary of Turco-Tartar origin was also included, in accordance with the principle (commonly accepted in linguistics) that a given foreign word, regardless of its original source, is a borrowing from the language from which the borrowing language adopted it directly. This does not mean that the testimonies and opinions relating to borrowed words are equated with the testimonies and opinions relating to their designates, since the origin of the designate and the direct source of the word are two different phenomena. The material was confronted with works on the language of borderland writers and with dictionaries of the Polish language, covering material from the Middle Ages to the first half of the 20th century.

Authors: BHOL N , SARANGI S K , BEHERA U K
Published: July 2023

An investigation was carried out during 2012-2013 in Puri district of Odisha to study the composition, structure and role of coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) based farming in 15 different holding sizes, i.e. 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.4, 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and 1.5 acre. The experiment was laid out in randomised block design with three replications. The smaller holdings were found close to houses as homegardens and comparatively larger holdings were found little away from the houses. The composition was found very diverse consisting of perennial trees, annual crops and seasonal crops. The coconut based agroforestry systems of various sizes are playing important role for the household which include productive role, protective and ameliorative role, recreational and educational role as well as developmental role giving various kinds of tangible and intangible benefits. As the natural forest cover is less in coastal Odisha, a substantial quantity of fuel wood was found to be derived from homegarden and the contribution of fuel wood production increased with increase of holding size up to 1.2 acre. The net return varied from Rupees 5 617 to Rupees 32 850/annum showing the income level increased with increase in holding size, while the economics was calculated on acre basis, the net income ranged from Rupees 56 167 to Rupees 21 900 indicating decreasing trend towards higher holding sizes. In terms of market orientation, the smaller unit sizes were found more subsistence and less commercial than bigger holding sizes and vice versa. The coconut based agroforestry system of size 0.8 acre (perennials-coconut, siris, rain tree, eucalyptus, acacia, areca nut, mango, sissoo, teak, jackfruit, bamboo, guava, pomegranate, papaya, drumstick, bael, citrus, banana, curry leaf ; seasonals-pine apple, yam, arrowroot, turmeric, ginger, brinjal, okra, bitter gourd, ridge gourd, chilli, greens, cowpea, tomato, cauliflower, pumpkin; mushroom-paddy straw/oyster; fish- rohu, silver crap, grass crap; cattle, buffalo, goat, poultry, duck) was found to be the best among the holding sizes studied withregard to viability of landuse.
Narrow genetic base of Indian litchi (Litchi chinensis) cultivars based on molecular markers

Published: July 2023

Litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.) is an introduced crop in India and has limited genetic variability characterized by differences in flushing pattern, leaf, panicle and fruit traits. Molecular markers were employed to expose the genetic diversity of 20 litchi cultivars from the Indian peninsula and facilitate documentation of the native germplasm diversity. Efficiency of individual primers was evaluated on the basis of average band informativeness and resolving power, where random oligonucleotide markers OPA-5 and OPA-3 scored best. Among tested microsatellite markers, ISSR 01 and 13 had high values for primer efficiency and these were found to supplement simple sequence repeats for generation of cultivar barcode and clustering analyses. Efficiency of microsatellites (Simple Sequence Repeats and Inter Simple Sequence Repeats) was established by high values for polymorphism (0.691), diversity index (0.264), effective multiplex ratio (48.8470) and marker index (12.896), thus reiterating its potential as for developing barcodes for cultivar identification and conservation. Phylogenetic analysis based on RAPD and microsatellites revealed clustering of the cultivars into four major groups, although within a very narrow range (0.63 - 0.90) of similarity, viz. Seedless (i.e. Bedana), Mandarji, Shahi and China groups. The clustering followed grouping based on fruit morphology, leaf and panicle attributes disagreeing with earlier views regarding incongruity of clustering pattern with morphological, ecological and climatic adaptations. Discrimination of cultivars like Dehrarose and Dehradun, being often labeled as synonyms, was also done. Interestingly high polymorphism and low gene diversity have been exposed by molecular markers, commenting on narrow genetic background of litchi cultivars from India.
Effect of season of production on storage and production behaviour of potato (Solanum tuberosum) mini-tubers
Authors: SHARMA ASHWANI K , PANDEY K K
Published: July 2023

Storage, sprouting and production behaviour of different grades of potato mini-tubers of cv. Kufri Girdhari produced during summer (Kharif) and autumn seasons in high hills of north-western Himalaya (9 000 feet amsl) was studied. The study revealed that mini-tubers produced during both the seasons in the high hills store well under ambient conditions till the next potato planting season, i.e. April. Number of sprouts and length of longest sprout per minituber as well as average weight per tuber at the end of storage period was affected significantly by the season of production as well as grade of mini-tubers. However, total physiological loss in weight of mini-tubers from two seasons was almost same but was affected significantly by the grade of mini-tuber. Mini-tubers from both the seasons resulted in same yield and number of tubers per hectare. A gradual and consistent increase in the number of tubers as well as in potato yield with the increasing size of mini-tuber was noticed. Similar field productivity of mini-tubers from two seasons is in total support of the practice of taking two crops of mini-tubers (from in vitro plantlets) under protected conditions. The information generated will be helpful in boosting the fast multiplication of elite planting material of potato in the high hills of north western Himalaya.

Authors: JAYASHREE E , ZACHARIAH T JOHN
Published: July 2023

The results of the study on curing Prathiba variety turmeric by eight different curing methods indicated that slicing significantly reduced the drying time to 9 days. Turmeric cured by cooking in boiling water for 40, 60, 90 min, took 11 days for complete drying. While turmeric rhizomes cured by steam cooking for 30, 45 and 60 min took 24, 23 and 12 days for drying. Increase in curing time of turmeric rhizomes resulted in significant reduction in curcumin, starch, essential oil and oleoresin content. In case of water boiling method, maximum retention of curcumin (5.91%) and essential oil (3.6%) was obtained for rhizomes cured for 40 min. While in the case of steam boiling method, the maximum retention of the quality parameters was obtained at 30 min steaming when the curcumin content (6%), essential oil content (3.33%), oleoresin content (13.96%) and starch content was highest (63.33%). But, the drying time was longest (24 days) at this curing level. However, the steam cooking had several advantages over traditional cooking by water boiling in terms of fuel consumption and the quantity of rhizomes that could be cured per batch and also reduction of labour.

Authors: Wang Haining
Published: July 2023

This paper discusses the importance of research and evaluation in special education and its impact on improving outcomes for individuals with disabilities. It explores common challenges in conducting research and evaluation in special education, such as access to participants, measurement and assessment, ethical considerations, limited resources, and generalizability. The paper also highlights emerging trends and innovative approaches in special education research and evaluation, including mixed methods research, technology-enhanced assessment and intervention, implementation science, and participatory research. Additionally, it offers recommendations for future research in special education, including longitudinal studies, intersectionality and inclusivity, teacher preparation and professional development, family engagement and involvement, transition and post-school outcomes, inclusive practices and environments, technology and assistive technology, culturally responsive practices, and policy and systems-level research. By addressing these areas, special education can continue to evolve and improve, leading to more equitable and effective educational experiences for individuals with disabilities.

A Baranyai-dombság löszös területén, Belvárdgyulától (Baranya megye) délkeletre, a Karasica és a Vasas-Belvárdi-vízfolyás összefolyási területén található, környezetéből 5 méterre kiemelkedő objektum fejlődéstörténetének kutatását tűztük ki célul. Az ártéren elszórtan számos régészeti lelőhely is található. A kiemelkedés vizsgálata 2010 októberében kezdődött. A felmerült kérdések megválaszolására talajtani, morfológiai és geoarcheológiai módszereket alkalmaztunk, a dombot egy szelvényben 25 fúrással tártuk fel. Az elemzés kiterjedt a fúrásokból származó talajminták texturális jellemzőinek, mész- és humusz-tartalmának, valamint az emberi tevékenységet jelző két fontosabb elem, a foszfor (ortofoszfát) és a kálium meghatározására. A felszínfejlődési rekonstrukció szempontjából érdekesnek tartott rétegekből vékonycsiszolatokat készítettünk és mikromorfológiai vizsgálatokat végeztünk állításaink megerősítése céljából. Az így kapott eredmények felhasználásával pedig felszínfejlődési rekonstrukciót készítettünk. Az objektum alapvetően természeti folyamatok hatására alakult ki a legfiatalabb és idősebb ártéri szint határán. Formáját a késő neolitikum óta tartó emberi tevékenység is meghatározta. Bár még nem minden kérdés tisztázott, valószínű, hogy az áthalmozott lösz megléte is ennek eredménye. Az egyébként leletszegénynek nevezhető fúrásokból szerencsés módon előkerült kerámiatöredékek lehetővé tették az egyes fejlődéstörténeti periódusok relatív korolását. A domb eredetileg több méterrel magasabb lehetett, a korai középkor óta folyamatos erózió sújtja és a legutóbbi időkig állattartó telep működött rajta.

Világszerte a természetvédelmi oltalom alatt álló területek számos antropogén eredetű veszélyeztető tényező hatásának vannak kitéve, amely hatások következményei elsősorban a határvonalakon vizsgálhatóak. Ez azért különösen fontos, mert a védett területek határzónáiban és pufferterületein jelentkező hatások korai detektálása révén megelőzhető azok jelentősebb térnyerése a belső, érzékenyebb zónák felé. A védett területek határvonalait érintő antropogén hatások vizsgálatára a nagy kiterjedésű, egybefüggő nemzeti parkok különösen alkalmasak, amelyek egyik legreprezentatívabb európai képviselője a Hortobágyi Nemzeti Park (HNP). A terület a kontinens legnagyobb összefüggő szikes pusztája, amely egyben a Kárpát-medence egyik legzavartalanabb ökoszisztéma-típusa a Hortobágy, Debrecen közlegelője – rengeteg emberi hatás (zavarás, bolygatás, átalakítás érte a történelem során, aminek a hatására kialakult olyanná, amilyen most). A nemzeti park határterületén több, a régióra jellemző földhasználati típus váltakozása jellemző, melyeknek negatív hatásai mind intenzitásukat, mind térbeli és időbeli eloszlásukat tekintve eltérőek. A HNP határzónáját érintő antropogén eredetű zavarótényezők(özönnövények, bemosódás, tájképromboló elemek, szemét, fényszennyezés, beszántás) vizsgálatára 2011 áprilisa és októbere között végeztünk heti gyakoriságú terepi bejárásokat a Nemzeti Park bejárható határvonalának 95%-án, összesen 221 km-en. Minden szakaszon georeferálás után rögzítettük a földhasználati módot és a potenciális zavaró faktorokat. Eredményeink alapján a Nemzeti Park határvonalát negatívan érintő hatások közül a legjelentősebbek a földhasználati módok változása, az intenzívebb mezőgazdálkodási technológiák elterjedése a hagyományos gazdálkodási formák rovására és az özönnövények térhódítása. Legfontosabb eredményeink azt mutatták, hogy az özönnövényfajok számát elsősorban a védett területen kívüli legeltetettség illetve a védett területen belüli és kívüli élőhelytípus befolyásolta. A mesterséges élőhelyeken magasabb volt az invazív növényfajok száma, a kívülről legeltetett szakaszokon viszont ez az érték alacsonyabbnak mutatkozott. Ezzel szemben az elmúlt évtizedekben csökkent a vadászati nyomás és a kommunális hulladék lerakása: ezek a mai hatások az évszázadok alatt kialakult és ma védendőnek tekintett helyzetet veszélyeztetik.

A 2007−2008-ban végzett vizsgálat során célunk volt, hogy egyszerű, a faj jelenlétét bizonyító közvetlen és közvetett jelek megfigyelésén alapuló módszerek segítségével mérjük fel a vizsgálati terület aranysakál állományát. A vizsgálati időszak alatt összesen 28 spontán sakálüvöltést figyeltünk meg, ebből 27 esetben napnyugta után. Átlagosan 1:54 perc telt el a csillagászati napnyugta és az üvöltés között (n=27; s=40). A megfigyelt üvöltések, a rögzített nyomok és az ürülékek elhelyezkedése alapján három család állandó jelenlétét határoztuk meg a területen. A csoporton belüli egyedszám a becslések alapján 4-9 között változott. A számolt családsűrűség a területen 1,2 család/1000ha, ami – összevetve más vizsgálatokkal – nem kimagasló érték. Az egyes mozgáskörzetek (territóriumok) becsült területe 1−1,5 km2 ami, elmarad az európai adatoktól.

A munkában egy, a Koppány völgyében található, Somogydöröcske településhez tartozó terület élőhely-térképezésének eredménye kerül bemutatásra. A vizsgált területen 70 élőhely foltot különítettünk el. Az élőhely-foltokban 22 különböző élőhely-típust határoztunk meg. Az „egy folt – egy élőhely” előfordulás azonban a mintaterület kisebb hányadán jellemző, ugyanis a terület mozaikossága és az antropogén hatások érvényesülése miatt a foltok nagyobb részében az élőhelytípusok élőhelykomplexeket alkotva jelennek meg. A területen 6 védett és 7 inváziós fajt jegyeztünk fel. Az élőhely-foltok közül kiválasztottunk ötöt, amelyek a terület karakterisztikus típusainak tekinthetők. Ezen foltokat a bennük előforduló fajok relatív ökológiai mutatói és természetvédelmi értékszámai alapján is értékeltük.A folyót követő vízparti sáv élőhely-komplexében a nagy vízigényű fajok jelenléte miatt a nagyobb nitrogénigényű fajok jelentősebb arányban fordulnak elő. Az élőhely-foltok mindegyikére jellemző, hogy a természetes állapotokra utaló fajok mellett, a bolygatottságot jelző növények is megtalálhatóak. A kompetítorok és a természetes pionír fajok nagyobb mennyiségben a száraz gyepi foltokban fordulnak elő, melyből ezen élőhelyek jó állapotára, természetközeli jellegére következtethetünk.

A SzIE Tájökológia Tanszékének interdiszciplináris kutatócsoportja a Rákos patak vízgyűjtőjén elhelyezkedő, Gödöllő-Isaszeg elnevezésű tórendszer több szempontú, tájökológiai vizsgálatát kezdte meg 2006 első félévében. A mintavételi helyek kijelölésénél elsődleges szempont a tájökológiai szempontból azonos típusú mintaterületek kiválasztása volt. A vizsgálat középpontjában a terepi adatok általánosíthatóságának kérdése állott, különösen azért, mert az átmenetet jelentő 10 tó és mesterséges és természetes vízfolyásszakaszok is találhatók a vizsgálat tárgykörében. Jelen tanulmányban a tájökológiai egységek terepi tapasztalatok alapján történő lehatárolásának taglaljuk.
Agrár-környezetgazdálkodási programok bevezetésének hatása a kijelölt mintaterületek földhasználatára és természeti értékeinek védelmére

A kutatás során 2002-től begyűjtöttük és elemeztük négy Érzékeny Természeti Területről (Dunavölgyi-sík ÉTT, Hevesi-sík ÉTT, Borsodi-mezőség ÉTT és Észak-cserehát ÉTT) az agrár-környezetgazdálkodási támogatások (AKG) keretében beérkezett pályázatok adatbázisát. Ezen adatbázis segítségével meghatároztuk a mintaterületek jelenlegi AKG támogatottságát, a programok területi arányát, továbbá elhelyezkedését, amelyet beépítettünk az ÉTT-ket monitorozó adatbázisba.A jelen munkában részletesen a Dunavölgyi síkság ÉTT-n végzett munkánk eredményeit mutatjuk be.A mintaterületekre vonatkozó digitális adatbázis tartalmának kibővítésével lehetővé vált a Nemzeti Parkok számára a támogatott területek és a védendő értékek térbeli elhelyezkedésének összevetése, amely segítségével célirányosan bővíthető a programban résztvevők köre. A kérdőíves felmérés rámutatott a megkérdezett gazdálkodók személyi hátterére, a gazdálkodás típusára, továbbá a programmal kapcsolatos észrevételeikre, amelyek segíthetik a program kidolgozásában résztvevő szakembereket. A piacképes, profitorientált mezőgazdasági területeken, amely a térség nyugati, az átlagosnál kedvezőbb adottságú területein a nagyüzemi szántóföldi növénytermelés (gabona- és takarmánytermelő specializációval) előnyeit használja ki, nem várható a zonális programok bővülése. A térség középső, mélyebb fekvésű és gyengébb termőképességű területeinek mezőgazdaságát a gyepgazdálkodás és az extenzív állattartás irányába célszerű tovább fejleszteni. Azonban ez csak akkor lehetséges, ha a birtokok egyesítése, illetve bérleti rendszer rendeződik.
Ártérfejlődés és növényzet kapcsolatának vizsgálata a Maros hullámterén

Published: July 2023

A bemutatásra kerülő kutatásban a Maros alsó szakaszán a folyó és a növényzet kapcsolatrendszerében, a kanyarulatfejlődés mértékét és a partépülés sajátosságait vizsgáltuk dendro-geomorfológia segítségével. Eredményeink szerint az új övzátonyfelszínek kialakulása csak árvízi magasságokhoz köthető, de a fák megtelepednek a meder alacsonyabb felszínein is a hosszan tartó kisvizes időszakokban. A meder szűkülésével a partépülés lehetősége egyre korlátozottabbá válik, hiszen a fás növényzettel borított erodálódó partszakaszok stabilizálódnak, ugyanakkor a csupasz partoldalakon jelentős mértékű erózió történt.
