Authors: Babu Dr. A Mahesh , Akhil Barapati , Pochampally Naveen Kumar
Published: February 2023

The integration of technology into cities and transportation networks has the
potential to improve the quality of life for residents, reduce congestion and pollution, and
increase the overall efficiency of urban cities and their transportation system.
Smart cities use technology to improve the efficiency and sustainability of urban areas. This
can include things like smart lighting, the internet of things (IoT), energy management,
artificial intelligence and smart transportation systems. An intelligent transport system is a
component of a smart city that uses technology, to improve the efficiency and safety of the
transportation network. This can include things like traffic management systems, real-time
passenger information, and intelligent traffic signals. Together all smart cities and ITS can
help to reduce congestion, improve air quality, and make cities more liable to residents.
Intelligent transport systems (ITS) can revolutionise the way people commute in metro cities.
ITS offer a wide range of approaches to providing multiple transportation types, advanced
infrastructure, and traffic mobility management solutions. It uses several electronics,
wireless and communication technologies to provide consumers with access to a smarter,
safer, and fast way to travel around the city

The measurement of pharmaceutical compounds in biological fluids is considered an effective way to evaluate their effectiveness. On the other hand, lorazepam is a drug with good efficiency in treatment and some side effects, which measurement is very important. In this study, the ZnO nanoparticle was synthesized as an electrocatalyst by chemical precipitation method. In continuous a simple modification on paste electrode (PE) by ZnO nanoparticle (ZnO-NPs) and 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride (HMImCl) was made and new sensor was used for sensing of lorazepam. The HMImCl/ZnO-NPs/PE showed catalytic behavior on oxidation signal of lorazepam and improved its signal about 2.17 times compared to unmodified PE. On the other hand, oxidation signal of lorazepam was reduced about 110 mV at surface of HMImCl/ZnO-NPs/PE compare to unmodified PE that confirm accelerating the electron exchange process after modification of sensor by HMImCl and ZnO-NPs as powerful catalysts. The HMImCl/ZnO-NPs/PE was used for monitoring of lorazepam in water and injection samples and results showed recovery data 98.5 to 103.5 % that are acceptable for a new sensor.

A főváros egyesítésének tanulmányozása során a kormányzati szándékok és koncepciók mellett érdemes szemügyre venni az egyes városok egyéni érdekeit. Az eladósodott, a kortársak által fejlődésképtelennek tartott, jelentős arányban bortermelők és hivatalnokok által lakott Buda város tanácsának és közgyűlésének állásfoglalásai azt mutatják, hogy nemcsak a dinamikusan fejlődő testvérváros, Pest gazdasági-társadalmi túlsúlyától, saját egyesített fővároson belüli közgyűlési befolyásának elvesztésétől, hanem az egyesítéssel járó fokozódó állami befolyástól is tartott. Az önkormányzati előjogait féltő polgársággal szemben Buda polgármestere és országgyűlési képviselője, Házmán Ferenc azonban a városegyesítés egyik élharcosává vált. Jelen írás Pest-Buda és Óbuda egyesítésének vitái kapcsán vizsgálja meg Buda város helyzetét és idézi fel az egyes politikai állásfoglalásokat.

Az egyesített főváros születéséről szóló cikksorozatunk következő részében a harmadik város, Óbuda egyesítéshez vezető útját ismerhetjük meg. Óbuda mind lakosságszámát, mind gazdasági jelentőségét tekintve elmaradt Pest és Buda mellett, karakterében a bortermelő Budához hasonlított, ugyanakkor a hajógyárnak és a textilgyáraknak köszönhetően egy ipari külváros jellegzetességeit is mutatta. Az 1850-ben ideiglenesen Budához csatolt Óbuda számára a legnagyobb kihívást a koronauradalommal kapcsolatos jogviszonyok rendezése, a másik két várossal történő „egyenjogúsítása” jelentette.

Media Business Transformation in the Workplace: Creating a Culture of Innovation
Authors:   Western Michigan University, Gershon Richard A.
Published: February 2023

The lessons of business history have taught us that there is no such thing as a static market. Global competition and the power of intelligent networking have engendered a new competitive spirit that cuts across countries and companies alike. This is particularly true in the field of media and telecommunications where once great companies fall victim to creative destruction;supplanted by the next communication start-up company with a good idea. From the original AT&T Bell Labs to the modern-day Googleplex, the history of innovative discovery is really the study of how organizations set out to problem solve. One of the goals of highly successful companies is to make innovation a sustainable, repeatable process. In order to accomplish this, innovative companies create the right kind of culture in which to do good work. This article will look at the challenges associated with new product development and how good companies go about creating a culture of innovation and discovery. The second part of this article looks at the qualities and characteristics that make innovation a sustainable, repeatable process. Special attention is given to such ideas as the importance of risk and experimentation, creating the proper workspace, mobility and virtual communication, serendipitous connections and the value of external partnerships and collaboration.
Pragmatism in practice: Bricolage as a methodological framework for SoTL
Authors: Honeychurch Sarah
Published: February 2023

I begin this paper by discussing some of the issues that scholars face when they begin to make the transition from discipline-based research to SoTL. I take seriously the fear that many feel when attempting to move into what they perceive to be unfamiliar territory and I encourage readers to face their own fears as a first step towards resolving them.  I suggest that, although many scholars are intimidated by the thought of SoTL because they believe that it is totally alien to them, in fact they have gained skills and experience elsewhere that are transferrable into SoTL: the terminology might be unfamiliar, but the practices need not be. In order to explain this, I introduce the concept of bricolage (which, as I understand it, involves taking existing resources and repurposing them) and show how this practice can be used to develop a methodological approach to SoTL.  In so doing I describe a methodology for SoTL that can be adopted and adapted by any scholar, whatever their disciplinary background, and that helps scholars to make the transition from disciplinary research to scholarship of teaching and learning.   I end by giving a set of recommendations for those wanting to use bricolage for themselves, and a call for others to join me in the practice of bricolage.
From Statistics Anxiety to SoTL: How a scholarly enquiry led to professional growth
Authors: McEwan Michael , Jack Eilidh , Alexander Craig , Bock Mitchum
Published: February 2023

In higher education academic staff are experts: disciplinary experts. They are often required to have significant research expertise, research degrees and a long track record of formal and experiential learning in their chosen specialist subject area. Then, after a long research apprenticeship, they finally get a teaching role. The UKPSF, Advance HE and even, to some extent, the Teaching Excellence Framework, all exist to professionalise teaching as a legitimate career in higher education but still, on appointment, most early career lecturers are subject experts but novice teachers.

There is a growing professional requirement for higher education academic staff to adopt a scholarly approach to learning and teaching practice, to gain professional recognition as teachers, and to undertake scholarship of teaching and learning as part of ongoing and continuing professional development. Whilst taking a scholarly approach to practice is an expectation of the UKPSF, and scholarly teaching practice is a characteristic of expertise in teaching, what role does SoTL play in professional development?

This article explores how a significant first foray into SoTL for early career statistics lecturers has resulted in unexpected learning for those who engaged in it. A study on how statistics anxiety may differ amongst different cohorts of students became a vehicle for deep learning about teaching, about students, about course design and pedagogy, and about SoTL. This led to a ‘critical awakening’ as scholarly teachers through the process of data collection, analysis, and reflection.

The aim of this article is to showcase the value not only of pedagogical evaluation as a scholarly output and source of publication, but also that the process of engaging in SoTL, whether it results in successful outputs or not, is of extreme value in becoming an expert scholarly teacher in higher education.

A tentative new approach (participant learning) to teaching research methods is proposed.
Teaching methods: Pedagogical challenges in moving beyond traditionally separate quantitative and qualitative classrooms
Authors: Ferrie Jo , Spreckelsen Thees
Published: February 2023

In the social sciences, research methods courses may be the most important and yet the most undervalued. Quality Assurance Agency (QAA) benchmark statements that deliver UK national standards all signify that methods teaching is essential. In terms of applicability, learning how to evaluate and produce knowledge has high relevance for employability. In the UK, despite being ‘core’, methods courses, compared with disciplinary courses, tend to have lower institutional investment utilising relatively small and early-career teaching teams and are taught to large groups of students (Ferrie et al., 2022). This paper draws together literature on the pedagogy of methods with reflexive practice to critically consider the barriers to learning methods and considers what methods educators and learners can do to engage optimally with the learner experience. This paper begins by considering how teaching of numeric- and text-based data produces a different learning environment to disciplinary learning. It then considers how quantitative pedagogy is distinct from qualitative pedagogy and in turn perpetuates the idea that they are distinct forms of knowledge production. The ‘pine tree’ and the ‘oak tree’ are two pedagogic devices that help students transform their learning practices. Growing calls to mix methods in course presentations and transcend the qualitative/quantitative divide present new challenges for pedagogy. The paper will outline a third pedagogic device that has helped students grasp something of a holistic understanding of how research methods operate. The ‘dirty greenhouse’ analogy, used with undergraduates and postgraduates (in large joint social sciences course at a large UK university), helps students scaffold their learning and get a quick grasp on what the value of methods courses are and avoids pitching qualitative and quantitative paradigms ‘against’ each other. The paper will argue that students are aided by having visual frameworks that help them, enhancing their critical approach to knowledge production and understanding better what a ‘defence’ in our research writing aims to do.

Comparison between the quality of life, anxiety and depression of pregnant women who live in rural and urban area in a municipality in the Brazilian Amazon
Authors: Maia Italo Jaques Figueiredo , Marrone Luiz Carlos Porcello , Martins Maria Isabel Morgan
Published: February 2023

This study aimed to compare pregnant women living in rural and urban areas in a municipality in the Amazon region, in relation to quality of life, levels of common mental disorders, stress and anxiety. A descriptive, exploratory research. A sample of 23 pregnant women attended at a health center in the city of Ouro Preto do Oeste-RO, where interviews were conducted with pregnant women, applying 04 instruments: Sociodemographic, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale - Short Form (DASS- 21), World Health Organization Quality of Life (WHOQOL-BREF) and Self-Reporting Questionnaires (SRQ). It was observed that the sociodemographic profile of pregnant women is similar in all variables studied. In relation to the common mental disorder, it was not possible to detect alterations, where all presented normality patterns. In the same sense, when the levels of anxiety, stress and depression were evaluated by DASS21, there were no significant changes. However, the quality of life of pregnant women in urban areas was below that of pregnant women in rural areas, that is, those from urban areas have a worse quality of life in the psychological and social facets. Obtaining information on the pregnant women's profiles is essential to carry out actions to promote their health and also ensure a healthy pregnancy for the pregnant woman and her child.
Bioethics And Public Health Care For People With Disabilities

Published: February 2023

This paper discusses bioethics and public health care of people with physical disabilities. Proposing to think about the importance of Bioethics insert themselves in the context of disability and include it in its context, taking the family as a reference. The subject is increasingly relevant, as are many obvious changes, challenges, and achievements for these people in recent years. It is a literature search, which used books, journal articles, and websites specialized area. In this paper, we find growth concerning acquiring autonomy and conquering their spaces. Much has been discussed about health and the matter is still far from being exhausted because the concept of health has become increasingly widespread over time and becoming synonymous with the necessities of life. In this context, it is clear the importance and urgency of producing research in the area of Public Health so that appropriate action can be mobilized and be closer to reality and appropriate social and basic needs of life of the disabled, therefore the lack of information and knowledge of the people on issues concerning the disabled brings a big problem for the Brazilian population, in most cases, only after being attacked a case of deficiency in the family that is seeking to demolish prejudice and mobilize forces for the recognition and legitimization of the rights of PPD, which in the short and immediate term is impossible to achieve if the goal is to achieve concrete and sustainable results.

Published: February 2023

In Brazil, the first cases of COVID-19, were diagnosed in February; on the 3rd of the same month, the country declared a Public Health Emergency of National Importance (ESPIN). The National Contingency Plan for COVID-19 was initiated, which in addition to the health measures, created TeleSUS. Given this scenario, the National Health Surveillance Agency (ANVISA), approves the expansion of testing. Most of the techniques used are: reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), lateral flow technique, rapid individual test; and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the gold standard technique is from RT-PCR. Thus, this study aimed to analyze the quality of diagnostic tests in a city in the Northwestern region of the state of São Paulo. This was evaluated by means of a cross-sectional, observational and individual study, with simple random probabilistic sampling, with exclusion criteria for deaths and people with incomplete data in the list. It was analyzed, 215 residents, hospitalized, who performed the standard other test (RT-PCR) and TR, between June/2020-June/2021, in local and referral hospitals. The diagnostic tests, RT-PCR and TR, were analyzed categorically, from the development of 2x2 frequency tables. When analyzing the TR, it was observed that the sensitivity in 2020 was 95% and the specificity 17%; in 2021, the sensitivity was 100% and the specificity 37.5%. The PPV in 2020 was 71% and in 2021, 93%. The VPN in 2020 was 66% and in 2021 100%. It was possible to conclude that the TR proved to be a valid tool to follow up the notification strategy and monitoring of suspected cases in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic. Analyses like this could compose dynamic management strategies, as potential sentinel indicators.

Femur fractures have higher morbidity and mortality at all levels of health care. Thus, falls among the elderly are quite frequent as they lead to a decrease in functional capacity and serious consequences for these patients. Traffic accidents are relevant, affecting more young male adults, with recklessness being the main cause of these accidents. The profile of victims of femur fractures treated at an urgent and emergency hospital in Porto Velho/RO was evaluated, through the stratification of the data presented by sex, age group, affected side, and trauma mechanism. The methodology of this study was carried out through data collected from medical records, deliberated by the HOSPUB system. The results evaluated the number of traumatic admissions by orthopedics in the period from January to April of year 2021, totaling 2,043 patients treated in the red room and outpatient clinic, of this total 63 are femur fractures 3.08% (63/2,043), being the distribution of these in the months; January 41.2% (26/63), February 17.4% (11/63), March 25.3% (16/63) and April 15.8% (10/63). The gender variable was evaluated, among the patients seen, there was a predominance of males in the age group of 21-49 years 30.5% (19/63) being equivalent when compared to other results, this being the most affected by accidents and violence. It is concluded that the profile of victims with femur fractures is predominant in females when treating the elderly, where the main cause falls. The highest prevalence among young adults is male, with motorcycle accidents as the main trauma mechanism.
Besieged cities: representations of the fear of death and illnesses in the pandemic of COVID-19 and in the cartoons of the end of the nineteenth century in Brazil
Authors: Bandeira Élcia de Torres
Published: February 2023

The epidemics plagued Brazil in several periods of history, such as the end of the 19th century and had a large effect on Revista Ilustrada, coordinated by the Italian-Brazilian cartoonist Ângelo Agostini. The fear of illnesses and death accompanies us throughout history and generates practices and representations associated with the historical context of the time. Today, the pandemic of the covid-19 reaps thousands of lives in Brazil and in the world, and the way we appropriate the tragic reality leads us to produce representations that slip, in many cases, to scientific denialism and contribute to the fact that many lives are still lost by discourses and practices emptied of scientific foundation. Besieged, cities face the microscopic enemy with social distancing and basic hygiene health measures, while vaccination cannot immunize the majority of the Brazilian population. Love and empathy become lenient summing up in the void left by the absence of sufficient vaccines or specific remedy against coronavirus to date, march 20, 2021. Previously closed windows are opened to provide the sight of the other. We will highlight in this article the relationship between feelings and their representative expressions related to the fear of death and illnesses in written and iconographic languages and seek to articulate them to the historical facts that served as a stage for its construction. Analyzing the practices and representations associated with public health and developing a comparative study between the epidemics of the late nineteenth century and the pandemic of the covid-19 becomes relevant to find realistic solutions that lead us safely to freedom, health and the enjoyment of community life.

The term "uterine annex" refers to structures anatomically close to the uterus, including fallopian tubes, ovaries, adjacent vessels, ligaments and connective tissues(3) . Therefore, when there is the appearance of an adnexal mass, it is certainly related to tumor originating from the uterine appendages. That said, it is worth remembering that during pregnancy, these tumors are uncommon, with a variation in incidence of only 1 to 10% of the pregnant population(2) and most of these adnexal masses are functional ovarian cysts that usually disappear during pregnancy, being preserved in only 0.7% to 1.7% of cases. (13) Sob esse prisma, o presente trabalho possui o objetivo de relatar um caso raro de gestante com massa anexial, sendo em ovário direito que evoluiu a um quadro atípico de torção e depois revisar informações acerca do tema, focando no desafio do tratamento cirúrgico.

Mortality rates by suicide in Brazil have been increasing in the last ten years, and the elderly population constitutes a vulnerable population to this grievance. Therefore, this study aimed to characterize the epidemiological profile of suicide in the elderly in Brazil, occurring in the period from 2010 to 2019. This is a descriptive ecological study using data from the Mortality Information System of DATASUS regarding mortality from intentionally self-harm in the elderly population, which were analyzed using simple descriptive statistics and presented as raw values and percentages. The data show that 16.7% of the suicides in the period occurred in the elderly population, and 80.4% were men, 48.9% married, 63.1% white, and 54.4% had only up to 7 years of schooling. The main place of occurrence was the home (67.9%). The most prevalent types of injuries were hanging/strangulation/suffocation (65.7%), gunshot (10.5%), and intentional autointoxication (10.1%). It is necessary to adopt preventive measures for this population, according to the risk factors involved, especially in countries where the demographic transition is towards population aging.

Authors: Nascimento Karina Ramos , Lima Fernando César Vilhena Moreira
Published: February 2023

Lung cancer is one of the most common and lethal neoplasms. Its presence entails several functional repercussions, threatening the continuity of life. As the disease progresses, palliative care physiotherapy enters this scenario as a means of promoting functionality, quality of life, autonomy and dignity for the patient and his family, in a biopsychosocial way. This research aimed to verify the effects of the physiotherapy approach in patients with lung cancer under palliative care, to identify the attributions and limitations of physiotherapy in the palliative care of patients with lung cancer; and to know the physiotherapeutic interventions used in the functional repercussions of lung cancer, such as: dyspnea, cough, pain and fatigue. This is an integrative literature review carried out in the scientific databases PubMed, PEDro, Virtual Health Library and Google Scholar, through publications from the last ten years (2012-2022). The descriptors used were lung cancer (lung cancer), physiotherapy (physiotherapy) and palliative care (palliative care), including 12 articles that covered the established objectives. The selected studies showed a predominance of patients in advanced stages of cancer, who present great loss of muscle mass, decreased muscle strength, fatigue, as well as depression and anxiety. The physiotherapeutic resource most reported in the literature was kinesiotherapy, with emphasis on resistance and aerobic exercise programs Most outcomes showed benefits, such as reduction in levels of fatigue, dyspnea, pain, improvement in performance status, level activity, self-esteem, functional capacity and emotional aspects, resulting in maintenance of quality of life. On the other hand, the samples and interventions were not homogeneous, which in some of the studies may not have shown significant improvements in such dysfunctions. In view of the above, it is evident that physiotherapists need continuous improvement in palliative care, and must understand each phase of the process, which leads to use and when to use them, without subjecting the patient to futile measures or not providing adequate proportionate care.

INTRODUCTION: There is a notable lack of knowledge among young people about the symptoms and causes of sexually transmitted diseases, although they understand the importance of sex education, it is not given effectively, so it is extremely important to implement strategies to promote and prevent sexual health in youth. OBJECTIVE: In this context, this study aims to verify the knowledge of high school students about sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and to make an association between the social determinants of health and the vulnerability of adolescents to STIs. METHODOLOGY: The research will be a cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach. It will be carried out in three state schools in the city of Araguari, using a structured questionnaire as an instrument for data collection. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: In the items related to the practice of safe sex and contamination by the virus, the students have chosen, in general, the safe conducts, the option "I have doubts" was marked in more than 30.00% of the items indicating that despite the high percentage of correct answers, there is still doubt about the subject. The answers of the items related to the prevention of infection by AIDS and the relationship of the students with their peers (friends) showed that in 3.00 of the 12.00 items the students had more doubts than certainties. Regarding the use of alcohol and drugs, mainly injectable drugs, most students declared they did not use any of them (>70.00%), and in the item about syringe reuse, most students declared they did not wash the syringe before reusing it. Regarding the beginning of sexual life of the 30.00 students who reported having sexual life, the average age of first intercourse was 15.03 (+2.09). In the items about health and general assessment of knowledge about HIV/AIDS, in the question about the peer and/or family member that the students seek to talk about AIDS, 21% cited that they open up to their mother or that they do not talk to anyone about this subject. Finally, it is noted that adolescents have some understanding that unprotected sexual intercourse can be harmful to health, even though the result showed that many students did not know about the various forms of infection.

Transposition of the Great Arteries (TGA) is considered the predominant cyanotic congenital heart disease (CHD) of the neonatal period, accounting for 5-9% of cardiac malformations. In TGA, the ventriculo-arterial connection is considered discordant, as the ascending aorta arises abnormally from the morphological right ventricle and the pulmonary artery arises abnormally from the morphological left ventricle, connected to the pulmonary trunk (YELBUZ et al., 2018). Therefore, the systemic and pulmonary circulations are in parallel rather than in series, causing oxygen-poor blood to circulate through the body and oxygenated blood to circulate through the lungs (SÉGUÉLA et al., 2016).

Myiasis is a common zoodermatose in individuals living in rural areas, tropical and subtropical regions, mainly in underdeveloped or developing countries. This paper aims to report a case of myiasis involving the oral cavity, in a patient with neurological deficit, presenting bilateral anterior dislocation of the mandible, as well as to demonstrate the clinical and surgical management and characteristics pertinent to this treatment. A 34-year-old male patient, melanodermic, with neuropsychiatric impairment, attended the Hospital Geral do Estado, in Salvador (Bahia), brought by his companion with a bilateral mandibular dislocation. The intraoral examination revealed partial edentulism in both arches, poor oral hygiene and massive presence of larvae in the maxilla and mandible. After clinical evaluation and complementary imaging tests, with the patient under general anesthesia and nasotracheal intubation, a compress soaked in sulfuric ether was applied to the affected sites, the larvae were mechanically removed, the wound was debrided and inspected, and the edges were reapproximated. The mandibular dislocation was reduced and immobilized with a Barton-type bandage. The patient was given Ivermectin 12mg and antibiotic therapy with Cephalothin 01g, and a new dose of Ivermectin 06mg was used two days after the procedure. After 04 days of hospitalization, the patient presented a good aspect of the wound, laboratory tests without significant changes and clinical and physiological conditions for hospital discharge. Thus, although there is no protocol treatment, the mechanical removal and debridement with the administration of anthelmintics proved effective for the treatment of this condition.
The effect of noise pollution on animal welfare - a case study in balb/c mice

The quality of life is determined primarily by the quality of the environment. Many variables act on the environment, including noise pollution, present in everyday life. According to the World Health Organization, above 55 db, the body begins to suffer the impact of noise, causing mild stress and excitement. One of the main responses is activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, causing the release of glucocorticoids. These hormones act on the energy metabolism, increasing the amount of free fatty acids in the bloodstream. Thus, changes in lipid metabolism have been reported after stressful situations. In this experiment we used Mus musculus balb/c mice submitted to chronic sound stress, at 90dB, for 30 days, at night, from 8 pm to 2 am the next day. The animals were euthanized by decapitation after anesthesia, and the blood collected was used to measure cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose. During the experiment the animals' weight was monitored, and there was no considerable variation between the control and experimental groups. Regarding the biochemical parameters, there were statistically significant differences in the levels of cholesterol, triglycerides, and glucose. The significance levels, or p values, were 0.067 (p less than 6.7%); 0.053 (p less than 5.3%), and 0.000 (p less than 0.0009%), respectively. With the present study, it can be concluded that stress hormones interfere with cholesterol, triglyceride and glucose metabolism. The chronic noise stress model can be considered a good environmental stress model that mimics urban stress.

49 localities situated in preserved parts of the tectonic unit Hronicum were examined. The obtained data on the occurrence of brachiopods, bivalve molluscs, cephalopods, conodonts, holoturias and foraminifers in the sediments of the Upper Pelsonian – Illyrian (Jasenie, Schreyeralm, Gader, Ráztoka and unnamed crinoidal limestone) were projected into the paleogeographic scheme of the Hronicum. In the period after the disintegration of the Gutenstein platform, the Hronicum area was divided into a number of differentially synsedimentary subsiding parts. The submerged parts were the sedimentation space of the mentioned types of limestones. Non-submerged parts – carbonate platforms were a source of organodetritus for subsiding areas and a sedimentation area for the Gader Limestone.

The paper follows on a review articles on Slovak travertines and tufa published in English in 2021. Geomorphological terms such as ‘fissure ridge’, ‘coalesced mound’, ‘self-buiding channel’, ‘keeled waterfall’, ‘smooth slope’, ‘terrased slope’, ‘dams along stream’, ‘peached springline deposits’, ‘moss pillow’ were defined as new in Slovak terminology. Travertine forms are formed by defined facies: ‘crystalline crusts’ with different crystal types, ‘radiating dendrites’, ‘coated bubbles’, ‘rafts’, and ‘breccias’ of various origin. Biogenic facies such as ‘microphyte mats’, ‘microphyte crusts’, ‘microphyte shrubs’, and ‘macrophyte facies’ appear in various tufas and travertines. In lakes, fens and marshes, the ‘lime-mudstones’ and the terms ‘mottling (marmorisation)’ and ‘pseudomikcokarst’ were defined. ‘Travertinized tufa’ was established as a transitional form between travertine and tufa.

In Western Slovakia, especially in the Bratislava region and Trnava region, Leitha limestone of the Badenian (Langhian – early Serravalian) age from St. Margarethen in Austria was widely used for architectural articles and sculptures (200 realizations), alternatively a similar limestone from Fertőrákos in Hungary. 380 tombstones were identified only in Bratislava cemeteries. From the second half of the 17th century to the first half of the 20th century, the limestones were one of the most used in Slovakia due to their light dressing and relatively homogeneous appearance. The strongly porous coarse-grained to medium-grained the Leitha limestone has the appearance of sandstone and is composed of a predominance of red algae nodules over foraminifers, sea urchin, moss and shell fragments. The rhodoliths, pectenoids and oysters are scattered in the Leitha limestones up to a few cm size, which distinguish the limestone type from other the Leitha limestones and similar Sarmatian limestones. The limestone is dominated by rhodolithes in the St. Margarethen quarry and by bivalves and macroscopic quartz in Fertőrákos quarry. Porous limestones are exposed to weathering outdoors, leading to mass loss, flaking, sulphate efflorescence, black crusts from microscopic organisms and the colonization by lichens and mosses. The peak of limestone use for public buildings and sculptures was the years 1745 to 1780 (reign of Maria Theresa), and about 1880 to 1915, when there was relative prosperity and machine production began. The tombstones made of the Leitha limestones shifts to a peak between 1905 and 1925. In the 20th century, the Leitha limestones gave way to a competition from Czech decorative stones.
