Published: August 2018

In a process of water disinfection it is necessary to distinguish between primary disinfection focused on removal or inactivation of microbiological contaminants from raw water, and secondary disinfection focused on maintenance of residual concentration of the disinfector in distribution system. Current practice related to disinfection follows two approaches. The paper presents results from a stage task solution “Research of physical-chemical changes in water quality during its distribution” at the Nová Bystrica-Čadca-Žilina long distance water supply system (LDWSS) focused on the presence of disinfection by-products by using chlorine dioxide.
Ozonation of haloacetic acid precursor using phenol as a model compound: effect of ozonation by-products
Authors: Oh B.S. , Kim K.S. , Kang J.W.
Published: August 2018

The formation pattern of haloacetic acids (HAAs) was investigated using phenol as a model precursor of HAAs, and the oxidation by-products formed from phenol ozonation, such as hydroquinone, catechol, glyoxal, glyoxylic acid and oxalic acid, were also chlorinated to measure the HAAs formation potential (HAAFP). Of these, phenol showed the highest reactivity with chlorine, yielding the most HAAFP. Even though HAAFP of the tested by-products was lower than that of phenol, it was confirmed that all by-products can act as the precursor of HAAs. Regarding the ozonation of phenol-containing water, the efficiency of ozone in controlling HAAs can be reduced by the formation of oxidation by-products. When comparing conditions for pH 7 and 3, the ozonation for pH 7 was more effective in removing the overall HAA precursors than the ozonation for pH 3. This result was attributed to complete oxidation by the production of the secondary oxidant, such as the OH radical (OH·) from ozone decay, and ionization of phenol.

Authors: Hashimoto A.
Published: August 2018

Good quality raw material gives a good quality product. This is a fundamental rule of production not only for commodities but also for our drinking water. The citizens of Kitakyushu city have been aware of this rule and started the campaign to preserve the drinking water source, and its surrounding natural environment. The catchphrase for the campaign is “Come back Ayufish to the river”. For Japanese people, ayufish is one of the most suitable indicators of clean water or clean river. More than a thousand citizens take part in this campaign every year. A group of environmental chemists have supported this campaign by sharing the long-term monitoring data for 40 years with the NGO and also the relationship between physiological impact of water quality such as BOD and MBAS on the behavior of ayufish to return to the river is discussed.

Published: August 2018

In the case of S water treatment plant, it was designed to be mostly operated by direct filtration mode all the year round. To evaluate the conditions of such operation mode, in this study, we operated pilot plant by direct filtration process by making flocculation treatment water flow into anthracite filter and active carbon (Calgon, Norit) filter which is an assembly of deep bed filter paper, and studied to find out the principle in which turbidity is removed in filter paper by measuring turbidity and head loss by the depth of filter, and an appropriate operation method. Also we conducted comparison evaluation according to kinds of coagulant and evaluation according to the injection of a polymer coagulant, a filter aid, before letting filter flow into flocculation treatment water. On the basis of the optimum operation of direct filtration process using deep bed filtration, it is necessary to decide and inject the optimum injection volume of filter aids taking account for the quality of raw water and to operate anthracite filter, which will also contribute to lowering the operation expenses of a filtration plant and improving the quality of treatment water.

Authors: Ando A. , Kajiyama Y. , Takigawa N.
Published: August 2018

To supply safe, good-quality tap water, Osaka Municipal Waterworks Bureau (OMWW) introduced an advanced water treatment system that incorporates ozonation and granular activated carbon (GAC) treatment into conventional treatment processes. By March 2000, all water purification plants in Osaka City were equipped with advanced water treatment facilities. This new treatment system has successfully removed odours and flavor and reduced trihalomethane. GAC treatment, the last stage of the water treatment, plays a vital role in removing organic matter in water, in conjunction with ozonation. However, GAC performance changes over time. To optimize the GAC effect, it is essential to conduct proper GAC management based on a thorough grasp of the change patterns of GAC performance. To determine GAC's water treatment capability, we analyzed data on 69 water quality items; obtained from past plant tests and chemical substance addition experiments using GAC actually used in the purification plants. Analysis revealed the deterioration patterns and time of GAC performance. By considering physical properties and economic factors as well as deterioration patterns of GAC performance, it is possible to establish an optimal GAC management system. This paper describes the findings obtained from the study on GAC water treatment performance conducted by OMWW.

Authors: Soda S.O. , Kitagawa M. , Fujita M.
Published: August 2018

A one-dimensional model was developed for simulating the in situ bioremediation process in which trichloroethylene (TCE) in groundwater was transformed cometabolically by methanotrophs. The model includes basic processes such as advection, dispersion, and equilibrium sorption of methane, dissolved oxygen, methanotrophs, and TCE. Monod kinetics with a modified competitive inhibition term between methane and TCE, cell inactivation by product toxicity from TCE transformation, and deactivation of the enzyme in the absence of methane were also incorporated into this model. Simulation results were compared with data from a pilot biostimulation test performed at the Kururi site in Japan in 1998. The calibrated model provided good matches to observed changes of the chemical and the most-probable numbers of methanotrophs at the two monitoring wells for the 180 day test. Spatial distribution of the variables and the TCE degradation ratio were also evaluated using the calibrated model.

Authors: Sobu M. , Nagaoka H.
Published: August 2018

This study is aimed at developing a simple defect-detector for water supply systems inside buildings that can be located near each faucet to detect accidents and defects of the network concerning water flow rate and water quality. A device, which was composed of a flow meter, a pressure meter and electric conductivity sensor, was set near a faucet of the laboratory to investigate the applicability of the device. Output from the conductivity sensor showed variation suggesting the possibility of the detection of water quality change. Output from the pressure gauge showed variation caused by water level variation in the storage tank suggesting the possibility of monitoring overall water consumption rate in the building. By monitoring friction loss in the pipeline from the storage tank to the faucet, it was found possible to detect leakage from the pipe line.

Published: August 2018

This study is intended to develop a stopgap coagulation protocol for immediate health protection of residents exposed to high arsenic from drinking water. The results of a simulated manual jar-test showed that ferric sulfate can maintain a satisfactory arsenic removal efficiency (>95%), and be relatively independent of water conditions. Combining with effective sand filtration, 20, 30, 60 mg/L of ferric sulfate were suitable for removing <0.5, 0.5–1.0, 1.0–2.0 mg/L of As(V), respectively. With decanting (after settling for 8∼10 h), however, ferric sulfate of 60 or 70 mg/L was needed to remove <0.5 or 0.5–1.0 mg/L of As(V), respectively. The removal rates of As(III) could achieve similar levels to that of As(V) once the water samples were pre-oxidized. The javelle water was selected as site applicable oxidant for As(III), although ozone sparging, hydrogen dioxide solution and bleaching powder also showed good performances. It was noted that the stopgap coagulation protocol was readily and acceptable to be applied by the local residents. The makeshift strategy will immediately protect the health of local residents before some kinds of long term and effective ways could be applied. Experiences obtained in this study provide valuable information for other places encountering the arsenic problem in rural drinking water.

The Maternal Mortality Ratio (MMR) in Indonesia remains high, including in West Java province. One of the MMR causes is preeclampsia (24%). Currently, the management of preeclampsia is focused on pharmacological therapy. Preeclampsia is characterized by high blood pressure. Some studies revealed that non-pharmacological therapy was effective in dealing high blood pressure including foot massage. Foot message has benefits both physiologically and psychologically. However limited study applied this massage among pregnant women with preeclamsia. The aim of this study was to determine the effectiveness of as a complementary therapy: foot massage to reduce of blood pressure among pregnant women with preeclampsia. The study applied quasi experimental design with time series approach. The samples were chosen using consecutive sampling technique. This study involved 30 pregnant women with preeclampsia. There were two steps of data collection. First, respondents’ blood pressure was measured by researchers without any interventions for 6 days. Second, the 7th -12th respondents had 20 minutes message, and observed blood pressure at the first minute before massage (pr-etest), and the 30th minutes after massage (post-test). Data were analyzed using Friedman Test.The result showed that there were no significant differences of mean systolic and diastolic blood pressure between pre-test and post-test (p> 0.05) in control period. Whereas, in the treatment period showed that there were a significant differences of mean systolic blood pressure between pre-test and post-test on the seventh day until twelfth day (p < 0.05). While, the significantly differences in mean of diastolic blood pressure between pre-test and post-test were present during the eighth until twelfth in treatment period (p < 0.05). This study revealed that there were significant differences in decreasing of blood pressure among pregnant women with preeclampsia after treatment by foot massage.

Unfortunately, there is no evidence reported the chronic diseases risk level and their correlation with QoWL among university staffs in Indonesia. This correlational study aimed to identify the risk level of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and cardiovascular diseases and it correlation with the QoWL among university staffs. As many as 125 university staffs from one of public university in West Java – Indonesia were recruited randomly and asked to complete Finnish Diabetes Risk-Assessment form, The Jakarta Cardiovascular Scale, and quality of work life (QoWL) Evaluation Scale. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive and Pearson Correlation test. Results showed that nearly half of respondents had chronic diseases risk elevation; T2DM (40.39) and cardiovascular diseases (49%). Additionally, more than half of them (52.40%) perceived that their QoWL was less satisfied. It was found there was a significant relationship between T2DM risk level and cardiovascular diseases risk (r = 0.513; p=0.00); however, there was no significant correlation, neither between T2DM risk level (p=0.54) nore cardiovascular disease risk level (p = 0.19) with QoWL. To summarize, the university staffs are vulnerable for developing chronic diseases and have less satisfied QoWL. Therefore, it is important for the university to develop policy or program that enhances the employees’ opportunity in managing the risk and improving their health status and QoWL.

Published: August 2018

Turizm sektörü için ülkelerin tanıtımları ve kalkınmalarında kullanılan
en önemli araçlardan birisi olduğu söylenebilir. Dolayısıyla ülkelerin yönetiminde
bulunan hükümetlerin ulusal bir turizm politikası ya da stratejisi olması
gerekir. Ülkemiz açısından konuya baktığımızda, 2000’li yıllara gelinceye kadar
turizmin ulusal politikalarla geliştirilmeye çalışıldığı görülmektedir. Bununla
birlikte, AB’ye uyum süreciyle birlikte yerelleşme eğilimlerinin artmasıyla
kalkınma anlayışlarındaki değişimin turizm stratejisine de yansıdığı
söylenebilir.  Bu bağlamda ülkemizde 2006
yılında 5449 sayılı kanunla Kalkınma Ajanslarının kurulmaya başlamasıyla kalkınma
politikalarında ve yönetiminde ulusal kalkınma politikaları ile uyumlu bölgesel
kalkınmaya da geçildiği bilinmektedir. Bu çalışmada, öncelikle ulusal turizm
stratejilerine gerek kalkınma planlarında, gerekse Kültür ve Turizm
Bakanlığının hazırladığı planlarda nasıl yer verildiği incelenecek, arkasından
Türkiye’nin önemli bir turizm bölgesi olan GEKA (Güney Ege Kalkınma
Ajansı-Muğla,Aydın ve Denizli)’da kalkınma açısından turizme ne derece yer
verildiği irdelenecektir. Sonuç bölümünde ise bu politikaların karşılaştırmalı
bir değerlendirmesi yapılacaktır.

Previous studies have shown that the geographic distance is among the factors that can typically results in diminished trade flows between two or more countries. As the international trade is one among the public policies, the governments of countries have to take control policies about their imports and exports after signing some trade contracts or agreements of eliminating trade barriers between trade countries. This paper analyzes and compares how the geographic distance affects the international trade flows of developed and developing countriesâ€Ÿ economies and becomes the obstacle to the developing countries to achieve their objectives and goals in eliminating trade barriers between their trading partners. The gravity model with panel data sets for period of 2008 to 2011 are used to determine the geographic distance effects in those countries. The sample size is bilateral trade flows of eight developing countries with lower income of EAC and two developed countries and one developing country with middle income of NAFTA. The study discovers that the various factors influence the geographic distance effects on international trade flows of developed and developing countries in different ways. This paper recommends that the signed policies between countries should be observed, maintained and followed in order to achieve expected objectives.

Organizational investment in Human Resources is an inevitable measure in pursuit of achievement of organizational goals. Organizations therefore must utilize a considerable amount of finances, materials and time in employee acquisition, maintenance and development. Despite the banking industries investing heavily in the acquisition and maintenance of its human resources, employees still quit their jobs in search of other alternatives. The objective of the present study is to establish the effect of employee demographic characteristics and selected Human Resource Management practices on employeesâ€™ intention to turnover in the Banking industry. The study population consisted of Managerial, Clerical and Direct Sales Staff from twenty five (25) commercial banks in Eldoret town, Kenya. The study sampled 387 employees from ten (10) commercial banks. Questionnaire method was used to collect data. The data obtained was processed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Both descriptive and inferential statistics were used in data analysis; that is, Frequencies, means, standard deviation and Percentages which were presented in tables and charts. Pearsonâ€™s Correlation analysis and Regression analysis were used to test the study hypotheses. The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that pay practices, procedural justice, marital status, education, job tenure and job position were critical factors in determining employee turnover intentions. The study recommends that banks should implement high commitment human resource management practices so as to enhance the retention of its employees.

Security is a vital requirement in mobile ad hoc networks to provide secured communication among mobile nodes. Due to different characteristics of MANETS, it creates a number of consequential challenges to its security design. To overcome the challenges, there is a need to build a powerful security solution that achieves both broad protection and desirable network performance. Mobile Ad hoc Network (MANET) has emerged as a new leading edge of technology to provide communication wherever and whenever required. As the wired network needs established infrastructure for communication but the mobile ad hoc network does not need any infrastructure, centralized management and control. Due to movable nature of nodes in Mobilead hoc network difficult routing between nodes are not very easy task. For this purpose many reactive routing protocols have been implemented like AODV, DSR, and DSDV. In the first part of this work, we propose a new algorithm AODV-BTR to improve existing on demand routing protocol and an attempt has been made to compare the performance of proposed algorithm (AODV-BTR) with existing algorithm AODV. Ad hoc networks are susceptible to many types of attacks; due tomovable nature of nodes it is very difficult to provide security at each node. This paper introduces the black hole attack; in this type of attack mischievous node announce that he is having the shortest path to all nodes in the environment by sending fake route reply message. This paper proposes an easiest way to detect Black hole attacks using DLM technique. DML method presents the solution to detect & remove blackhole attack in reactive protocol called AODV-BTR.
