Sociocultural transformation: integration and disintegration factors
Authors:   Institute of Philosophy and Law of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Shmakov Vladimir
Published: July 2023

Introduction. The emerging paradigm of socio- cultural development of the Russian Federation’s local communities is conditioned by the trans- formation of production and economic practices based on the concept of a multi-layered economy and multifunctionality emerging under the pressure of globalization on the development of localities. The desire to preserve and maintain socio-cultural traditions, customs, and values is an axiological guideline for developing local communities. The growing social vulnerability of communities creates certain conditions for losing identity, ability for self-identification, and leads to the destruction of socio-cultural identity. The purpose of the study. The article analyzes the problem of socio-cultural evolution when modern- izing production and economic activity generating factors causing the transformation of culture and sociality of local communities, thus determining the processes of integration and disintegration of socioculture. Methods. Sociocultural analysis provides an op- portunity to reveal the main directions of sociocul- tural development of local communities, to explain the essence of interaction, mutual influence and unification of local communities into an interactive socio-cultural space with compatible formations and components. Scientific novelty of the research. The author dis- plays the models of culture and sociality transfor- mation reflecting the processes of modification of the local communities’ lifestyle that determine the transition from the paradigm of sustainable tradi- tional socio-cultural development to the paradigm of innovative transformations. Results. The problem of sociocultural integration and disintegration is associated with globalization processes that generate contradictions of globality and locality. The processes of integration/disin- tegration of the local communities’ sociocultural development are conditioned by the culture and sociality evolution of the constructing model of socio-cultural behavior. The pressure of globaliza- tion plunges the socio-cultural space into a state of diffusion, instability. Historically established traditions, norms, values are transformed into intermediate forms that help to adapt to new living conditions, neutralize the negative consequences of modernization. Territorial sociocultural formations are being formed, within the framework of which attempts are being made to preserve the tradition- al socio-cultural environment. Conclusions. The dynamics of sociocultural pro- cesses determines the emergence of multidirec- tional poles of sociocultural life: from the desire to preserve the traditional socio-cultural environment, to the full acceptance of the meaningful qualities of liberal socio-culture, which destroys the sociocul- tural identity of local communities.
The “fatal seal” of religious immanentism: V. V. Zenkovsky’s evaluation of N. A. Berdyaev’s eschatological ideas
Authors:   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia, Nizhnikov Sergey , Romanenko Anastasia ,   Peoples’ Friendship University of Russia
Published: July 2023

Introduction. N. A. Berdyaev’s many-sided philo- sophical interests and his indefatigability in creative activity contributed to the development of an original worldview system, in which eschatological ideas were the basic part. The authors consider the assessment of these ideas by the outstanding his- torian of Russian philosophy V.V. A. Berdyaev, the significance of which is enhanced due to the fact that it was given not only by a historian of thought, but also by the creator of his own and generally complete philosophical system, based, like the philosophy of N. A. Berdyaev, on the ideological foundation of Orthodoxy. The purpose of the study. The authors attempt to identify the causes and motives for the discrepancy between N. A. Berdyaev’s eschatological ideas and the traditional Christian understanding of the “end of history”, which V. V. Zenkovsky strictly adhered to. Methods. As a general philosophical methodology, the authors use a personalistic approach, which was followed by both N. A. Berdyaev and V. V. Zenkovsky. The main premise of this approach is to affirm the free-creative activity of a person who, following his inner impulses is capable of changing the surrounding reality, both social and natural. The study also uses general scientific methods — analy- sis, synthesis, comparison, generalization. Scientific novelty of the research. The authors’ conclusions regarding the fact that N. A. Berdyaev did not overcome the evolutionist historiosophical paradigm, which has retained its significance in Russian metaphysics since the publication of the early works of V. S. Solovyov, the founder of this direction, have scientific novelty. Results. The eschatology of N. A. Berdyaev should be considered transitional from immanent (evolu- tionary) to transcendent, since elements of panthe- ism were preserved in it. V. V. Zenkovsky drew attention to this, noting that the entire religious world of N. A. Berdyaev bears the “fatal seal” of religious immanentism. Due to the inconsistency of his beliefs with the general worldview of Christian transcendentism, which never essentially brought the Creator and creation closer together, V.V. Zenkovsky avoided assessing N.A. Berdyaev as an Orthodox philosopher.
Value orientations and life purposes of the digital generation representatives as exemplified by the students of a pedagogical university: a socio-axiological aspect of the study
Authors:   South Ural State Humanitarian Pedagogical University, Bogdanova Veronika
Published: July 2023

Introduction. In socio-philosophical research, the study of the value-semantic sphere of the digital generation is becoming more relevant. In the article, the author conducts a theoretical analysis of the literature, reveals the ideas of modern scien- tists about the digital generation. In the empirical part of his research, the author reveals the life meanings and value orientations of today’s youth. The purpose of the article is to study life meanings and value orientations of modern youth. Methods. The study uses a comparative analysis of scientific literature, using the questionnaire “On the meaning of life” by V.E. Chudnovsky and the ques- tionnaire “Value Orientations” by M. Rokeach. The scientific novelty of the research. The work focuses on the digital generation’s ideas about the meaning of life. The digital generation associates the meaning of life with the vivid living of the pre- sent, since the existing social environment does not give them the opportunity for long-term planning. That is why they have a hedonistic attitude to life. Thus, the process of self-actualization prevails over self-transcendence. Results. The studies indicate that representatives of the digital generation see the meaning of life in achieving personal happiness, in freedom and maintaining individuality and self-realization. The most important values for young people, which determine their value orientations, are health, love, creativity, social recognition, material well-being, and pleasure. Conclusions. In the value sphere of the digital generation, one can detect the absence of clear long-term guidelines due to the continuous changes taking place in the social environment. The uncertainty of social and economic conditions causes difficulties in planning the life of today’s youth; however, the digital generation is concerned about the search for the meaning of life and value orientations. Although a hedonistic attitude to life prevails among young people, there is a desire to form a new qualitative level of altruism, where common interests do not contradict the interests of the individual.
“Silicon Valleys” – i nnovation zones in the USA, China, EU, Russia, and other countries
Authors: Aganbegyan A. G.
Published: July 2023

The article explores the history of the formation of innovation zones – c enters of scientific and innovative development, their sources and activators, starting with the creation of Silicon Valley in California (USA) in the 1950s, the name of which has become a generic term for a large innovation center and is used in different countries. The aim of the study is a comparative analysis of the conditions and nature of the development of Silicon Valleys and innovation zones in different countries and in Russia. The methodology consists of empirical crosscountry analysis and comparison methods, allowing to identify innovation zones by the degree of influence (scale) on the economy and modern scientific and technological development. As a result of the comparative cross-country analysis, it is concluded that Russia has favorable conditions for creating an extensive “Silicon Valley”, especially in its regions that have large scientific and technical reserves and conditions for such development. However, such conditions and organizational measures are currently absent in Russia, which makes the comparative analysis of the impact of Silicon Valleys and innovation zones on the economic development of advanced countries in the world in terms of science and technology relevant. The article also provides an author’s assessment of the capitalization of unicorn firms created by Russians abroad, not in Russia, which confirms the need for work to create territorial associations of high-tech firms and projects.

In this article, a hybrid method that combines Aboodh transform, variational iteration method, and the homotopyperturbation method is presented for approximate the solution of important partial differential equations that describe wave like differential equations in one, two and three dimensions. The suggested method utilizes only the initial conditions to providean analytical solution, in contrast to the method of separation of variables, that also requires boundary conditions. This method makes use of the Aboodh's transform advantageous on the Lagrange multiplier computation, hence there is no need to use the convolution theorem or any integration in a recurrence relation for the process of finding it. The obtained exact solutions are found as a convergent series with components that are simple to compute. In addition, the method needsno any assumptions that change the problem's physical nature, such as those that involve discretization, linearization, or minor factors compared to certain other techniques. Some examples are given to show how efficient and useful the method is.

The number of users of social media sites has increased nowadays, and while these sites have many benefits, they also have many damages that have grown with the increasing number of users. Among these damages that have spread in social media sites in our time is the phenomenon of cyberbullying. It has become necessary to find solutions to detect it to prevent and hold bullies accountable to reduce the phenomenon of cyberbullying, which has great health and mental effects on the victim in society. There have been many attempts to build models to detect and classify cyberbullying by using machine learning and deep learning algorithms with different sets of data that were collected from social media sites such as Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and others. In this work, we show a group of previous studies that used machine learning and deep learning algorithms in good attempts to detect and classify the phenomenon of cyberbullying.

Hyperthyroidism can be defined as the status of over production of thyroid hormones: tri-iodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) as a results of thyroid gland dysfunction. The aim of the current study was to investigate the association between the abnormalities of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and serum levels of thyroid auto-antibodies: anti-thyroid peroxidase (TPO-Ab) and anti-thyroid stimulating hormone receptor (TR-Ab) and the state of hyperthyroidism. Blood samples were collected from 75 Iraqi individualswere early diagnosed as hyperthyroidism patients in addition to 25 Iraqi individuals as a healthy control group. Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) used to determine the levels of thyroid hormones (T3 and T4) and the level of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH), Enzyme Linked Immuno-Sorbent Assay (ELISA) was used to determine the levels of auto-antibodies (TPO-Ab and TR-Ab). The results show that T3 levels and T4 levels in hyperthyroidism patients (2.07 nmol/L and 14.02 μg/dl respectively) increased significantly (푃<0.01)compared to healthy control levels (1.33 nmol/L and 6.4 μg/dl respectively). While the levels of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) in hyperthyroidism patient (0.17 μIU/Ml) decreased significantly (푃<0.01)when compared with healthycontrol group (1.84 μIU/Ml). The results also showed that levels of TPO-Ab and TR-Ab in hyperthyroidism patients (235.29 IU/mL and 32.05 IU/mL respectively) increased significantly (푃<0.01)when compared to healthy control group (20.76 IU/mL and 0.3 IU/mL respectively). This study revealed that there is an association between thyroid hormones disorders and the positivity of thyroid auto-antibodies in hyperthyroidism patient

Interdição, ressignificação e produção de visibilidades: Notas sobre a colonização da visão no regime heteropatriarcal colonial
Authors: Pazetto Debora
Published: July 2023

Neste artigo, analiso a relação entre descolonização e estética, passando pelos conceitos de interdição e ressignificação como caminhos para uma possível reestetização no campo das imagens. Considerando que a visibilidade é o pressuposto central da marcação colonizadora dos corpos nas categorias de raça e gênero, utilizo o conceito de colonialidade do ver proposto por Joaquin Barriendos em meio a uma crítica do regime visual racista, deslocando-o para também abordar o regime visual misógino e sexista. Todavia, levanto a hipótese de que esta situação se complexifica quando lidamos com identidades marginalizadas que não são necessariamente visíveis, como, em alguns casos, as orientações sexuais desviantes. Nessa direção, parto do conceito de invisibilidade lésbica proposto por Adrienne Rich para propor uma terceira estratégia de reestetização descolonizadora, além da interdição e da ressignificação: a produção de uma nova cultura de visibilidade.
Cem anos da morte de Proust: escrever a palavra fim
Authors: Oliveira Marcela
Published: July 2023

O texto trata da construção proustiana como uma busca sem realização totalizante possível, no sentido de que ela poderia se dar indefinidamente, esgarçando o fluxo da memória entre os extremos do início e do fim do relato, estabelecidos de antemão em seu projeto literário. Para isso, recorro principalmente às sugestões interpretativas de alguns de seus ilustres leitores: Walter Benjamin, Gilles Deleuze e Samuel Beckett.

Published: July 2023

O artigo aborda a extensão do auxílio-maternidade para adolescentes indígenas, com fundamento no diálogo transconstitucional, como instrumento de efetivação do Estado Social e de proteção da diversidade cultural brasileira. Embora os povos indígenas ocupem a condição de sujeitos de direito na ordem constitucional, não fazem jus a determinados benefícios por terem uma cultura diversa da cultura dominante. A partir do diálogo transconstitucional, o estudo analisa de que forma a extensão do auxílio-maternidade a adolescentes indígenas pode significar a efetivação de Estado Social que considera identidade indígena. Para tanto, a pesquisa aborda a função social do Estado diante da diversidade cultural, tece considerações sobre a especial conjuntura dos povos indígenas no Brasil, examina a situação das adolescentes indígenas da etnia Mbyá-Guarani, residentes na Terra Indígena Inhacapetum, localizada no Estado do Rio Grande do Sul, e debate a concessão do salário-maternidade a adolescentes indígenas a partir do engendramento de um diálogo transconstitucional.
Improvement of Helicobacter pylori eradication efficacy at stomach and duodenum peptic ulcers
Authors: Schanova Natalya O. , Prokhorova Lyudmila V.
Published: July 2023

Aim of investigation. To estimate efficacy of the modified sequential therapy regimen of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication (with addition of bismuth tripotassium dicitrate) at treatment of peptic ulcer of the stomach (PUS) and duodenum (PUD) of severe and complicated course in the Russian population. Material and methods. Original study included overall 105 patients with PUS and PUD with severe and complicated course of disease. The main group received modified sequential therapy regimen, the comparison group - standard triple mode. All patients underwent quantitative serological test for H. pylori-specific IgG antibodies, stool test for H. pylori antigen, fibrogastroscopy with stomach mucosa (SM) biopsy and rapid urease test, microscopic examination of SM biopsy specimens, polymerase chain reaction for H. pylori DNA in SM biopsy specimens. Results. Efficacy of H. pylori eradication at modified sequential therapy was 95,8%, at standard, also combined with bismuthate tripotassium dicitrate, - 86,4%. After successful H. pylori eradication decrease of inflammatory activity of the stomach mucosa at less prominent decrease of mononuclear infiltration was noted, however the tendency for reduction of these features was more significant in patients at modified sequential regimen. Conclusions. Growth of H. pylori antibiotic resistance requires accumulation of the Russian data on efficacy of sequential therapy to increase eradication rate and prevent growth of macrolide resistance. Sequential therapy was proposed as a way to overcome resistance to clarithromycin. Sequential eradication therapy with inclusion of bismuth tripotassium dicitrate has shown advantage over standard triple therapy at severe and complicated forms of gastroduodenal peptic ulcers. Results of original study allow to recommend sequential eradication therapy in Russia. Key words: peptic ulcer, Helicobacter pylori, eradication, modified sequential therapy, bismuth tripotassium dicitrate.

Aim of investigation. To study potential of «7×7» questionnaire to assess dynamics of patient’s state throughout treatment course at irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), functional dyspepsia (FD) and combination of these diseases. Material and methods. Original study included 50 patients (36 men and 16 women) aged 18 to 64 years with confirmed diagnoses of IBS, FD and their combination. Basic manifestations of above-mentioned diseases, presence and severity of symptoms initially (visit 1) and their development in 28 days after treatment onset (Visit 2) were estimated by Questionnaire «7×7». Correlation between the results of «7×7» Questionnaire and data of the General clinical impression scale (CGI-s; CGI-i) was evaluated. Results. According to the «7×7» questionnaire most of the patients estimated severity of their state as moderate disorder during the Visit 1. Statistically significant moderate correlation was revealed between the Questionnaire data and General clinical impression scale. During Visit 2, according to attending physician examination (General clinical impression scale), in 40% of patients symptoms have improved. At the same time during Visit 2 according to the «7×7» Questionnaire most of the patients (48%) estimated their state as borderline disorder. Statistically significant moderate correlation similar to that, obtained for Visit 1 was found between results of the Questionnaire and General clinical impression scale. Most of patients and doctors involved in the study highly appreciated convenience of Questionnaire utilization. Conclusions. Application of the «7×7» Questionnaire in clinical practice allows to estimate adequately severity of symptoms of FD and IBS and their dynamics along the treatment process. These results correlate well with results of the General impression scale (CGI-s; CGI-i). Most of the patients and physicians estimate convenience of «7×7» Questionnaire as good or excellent.

Mirada a los aspectos económicos, financieros, sociales y ambientales del cultivo del café en Colombia - 2022
Authors: Montoya Rendón Julio Cesar , Archila Villalobos Calos Fernando , Rojas Ledesma Fabio Alberto
Published: July 2023

Colombia es el tercer productor de café a nivel mundial, con 654.000 fincas y 540.000 productores, de los cuales el 30% son mujeres. El 70% de la producción es generada por productores pequeños con parcelas de menos de 5 hectáreas. El mercado mundial mueve aproximadamente USD 200.000 millones en ventas, de los cuales el caficultor sólo recibe entre el 6 y el 10%. 844.000 hectáreas están dedicadas al cultivo de café, generando 730000 empleos directos y 2 millones de personas dedicadas a la caficultura. Los insumos para el cultivo del café son importados, lo que aumenta los costos de producción y reduce la rentabilidad de los caficultores. El sector caficultor ha contribuido al crecimiento económico de Colombia, pero enfrenta desafíos como la volatilidad en los precios internacionales del café, la variabilidad de la producción debido a los cambios climáticos y la reducción de la rentabilidad de los caficultores. Además, muchos caficultores viven en condiciones de pobreza y carecen de acceso a servicios básicos. Dado el contexto anterior, en el presente escrito, sin pretender ser exhaustivos, se abordan las temáticas financieras, económicas, sociales y ambientales en torno al cultivo del café.
Do audits serve as an external risk oversight tool to boost firm performance?
Authors: Sheng Dachen , Montgomery Heather
Published: July 2023

This study explores the relationship between audits, concentrated managerial power, and firm performance in the Chinese manufacturing industry. Analyzing 1,264 publicly listed manufacturing firms over the five-year period (2017–2021), this study provides evidence that heavily concentrated management control hurts firm performance. The finding that heavily concentrated management control hurts firm performance is consistent with existing research on emerging markets (Debnath et al., 2021). Furthermore, consistent with existing research on audits protecting shareholder interest (Beneish, 1999) and improving firm earnings (Baxter & Cotter, 2009), the results of this study demonstrate that audits have the potential to operate as a risk oversight mechanism, reducing the likelihood of concentrated management control and therefore improving firm performance overall. This role of audits in corporate governance may be especially important in China, where the protection of minority shareholder interests may be more crucial (Chen et al., 2013), and in fact, the current study shows that audits mitigate the negative effects of concentrated management control on firm performance. However, the current research also demonstrates that the effects of audits on firm performance depend critically on how audits are identified. While longer-term, more stable auditing relationships decrease the likelihood of concentrated management power and mitigate the negative impact of concentrated power on firm performance, higher auditing fees, on the contrary, are associated with more concentrated management power, exacerbating the damage concentrated power does to firm performance. The empirical results are robust when replicated using propensity score matching (PSM) and entropy balancing techniques. Overall, the results demonstrate the effectiveness of audits as a tool in corporate governance but suggest the existence of conflicts of interest in fee-based auditing, which exacerbate agency costs.
A forest fire monitoring and detection system based on wireless sensor networks
Authors: Castro Correa Jhon Alejandro , Sepúlveda Mora Sergio Basilio , Medina Delgado Byron , Escobar Amado Christian David , Guevara Ibarra Dinael
Published: July 2023

Global climate change is affecting Earth in various ways, including glacial detachment, sea-level rise, and more intense heat waves, which in turn contribute to fires in areas rich in flora and fauna, causing erosion and changes in plant and animal ranges. Despite international efforts to mitigate climate change, the problem remains uncontrolled in many areas. In this study, a forest fire monitoring and early warning system is proposed. It is based on a wireless sensor network (WSN) that measures the environment to detect and prevent fires in rural areas. The WSN uses open-access technologies and the Zigbee standard for radiofrequency communication and sends collected data to a web server via GPRS and TCP/IP protocol. The WSN's performance is evaluated using two metrics: data transmission rate and time delay. The WSN achieved an average success rate of data transmission greater than 86% with an average time delay of less than 500 milliseconds in all tests, demonstrating the potential of WSNs as near real-time forest fire detection systems.

A crucial component of agricultural output is water, and its production
can be reduced by shortage, which negatively affects food security. In
an effort to address this developing issue, irrigation was employed as
form of water management. Various irrigation methods were employed but
there were various limitation to those methods such as soil and water
erosion due to inability of soil moisture determination. This work
focusses on the creation of an irrigation system based on the Internet
of Things. The implementation was done using Arduino microcontroller
programmed in C programming Language. The application’s data on soil
moisture level, valve condition, and remote management of the smart
irrigation system were all displayed using an Arduino microcontroller.
In Nigeria, the smart irrigation system was tested on three different
soil types: clay, loam, and sandy. Data including the moisture reading
and irrigation time were acquired after inserting the moisture sensor
probe into the soil sample. The average time taken to irrigate clay,
loamy and sandy soil at 2kg, 5kg, 8kg and 10kg were 10.93s, 15s, 19.75s,
23.25s; 9.5s, 12.4s, 17s, 21.5s; 8.25s, 11.3s, 14.7s and 20.2s,
respectively. This system helps in reducing soil erosion, as it monitors
and reads soils moisture in real-time.

The pattern of China’s cultivated land has been stable, but there
remains a need to improve grain productivity. It is necessary to clarify
the background status of cultivated land resources and implement more
effective management measures. However, current comprehensive evaluation
systems of cultivated land quality do not adequately support the
management of cultivated land resources because no national-scale
research based on factor restriction exists. Our study analyzed the
natural background status and restrictive factors of cultivated land
resources in China using data from the third national land survey’s
cultivated land resource quality classification. The results showed that
1) The quality of cultivated land resources in China was not high, with
medium cultivated land accounting for the majority (57.30%). The
factors reflecting the quality of cultivated land were significantly
different. The average grade of soil texture was 1.39, and the overall
situation was good. Conversely, biodiversity, soil pH value, secondary
land types of cultivated land, and crop ripening had average grades of
2.01, 2.06, 2.26, and 2.33, respectively, suggesting relatively poor
conditions. 2) There were significant differences in the restrictive
factors of cultivated land quality in China. Secondary land types of
cultivated land, with a restrictive degree of 1.09, was the only
shortcoming factor at the national level. Crop ripening (0.96) and
biodiversity (0.87) also contributed to strong restrictions on
cultivated land, while soil heavy metal pollution had almost no impact.
Different natural regions had different restrictive factors. Crop
ripening, secondary land types of cultivated land, and natural region
belonged to short-board factors in 31, 24, and 23 natural regions in
China, respectively. 3) The regional differences in cultivated land
quality in China were significant, and cultivated land resources could
be categorized into six management modes. Among them, three eastern
regions were mainly to stabilize the existing cultivated land pattern
and improve infrastructure construction. The three western regions
mainly develop cultivated land resources cautiously and strengthen the
ecological protection of cultivated land. The results demonstrated that
analyzing the natural background status and its restrictive degree in
different regions of cultivated land resources in China based on
cultivated land quality factors can clarify the natural background
differences of cultivated land resources in China, and provide a basis
for classified management of cultivated land resources. This is an
important foundation for the protection and utilization of cultivated
land resources in the new era.

Introducción: los riesgos para la salud de los cuidadores se derivan principalmente de la transformación de los roles desempeñados en su vida cotidiana. Una vez se convierten en cuidadores, su estilo de vida es modificado y transformado de manera inmediata, ya que se orienta a emprender acciones que se centran en el sujeto de cuidado, dejando a un lado su rol en la sociedad, lo cual conlleva múltiples afectaciones físicas, psicológicas y emocionales. Objetivo: describir la experiencia frente a la ejecución del Programa Acompañando al Cuidador. Escenario de la experiencia: el programa fue ejecutado en tres momentos, los cuales incluyen la captación y caracterización, el desarrollo de talleres y la evaluación del conocimiento adquirido. Resultados: se obtuvieron respuestas positivas frente al desarrollo de los talleres y los conocimientos adquiridos, además de la manifestada satisfacción relacionada con el desarrollo y contenido del programa. Conclusión: se reconoce la importancia de los cuidadores y del acompañamiento por parte del personal sanitario a estas personas, ya que es notable la poca visibilidad que tienen ante la ejecución de una labor tan fundamental como el cuidado.

The modern urban life is characterized by the concentration of large masses of people in territories with a dynamic infrastructure. This requires ensuring and maintaining a higher ecological standard for the urban population. One of the axes of such standard is the provision of acoustic comfort to the urban environment, through decorative vegetation for noise dust and gas protection. An urban design should plan and provide eco-zones for every public space in the city, including boulevards and streets. The considered project offers specific solutions with sustainable plant species to achieve acoustic and aesthetic comfort of the environment, taking into account the adjacent environment and the status of the object – a monument of the garden – park art. By means of linear compositions, with physiologically resistant and long-lasting types of vegetation planted in a heavy urban environment, a good result for noise and dust protection was achieved. At the same time, decorative vegetation affects habitus, texture, color and aromas. Through a „Green Tram“ additional horizontal vegetative area is provided a microclimate and low noise pollution level. The research and analysis in the project also formulate the need for an urban planning strategy for ecological planning and organization in order to ensure long-term acoustic comfort for the city’s inhabitants.
