Authors: TOAN VU DUC , DUNG NGUYEN TIEN
Published: July 2022

The trend for treatment of solid domestic waste by the domestic waste incinerator system is necessary to minimize the negative impacts of solid waste on the environment and human health. The survey and analysis results show that the organic waste composition ranges from 52.23% to52.8%. Benzene concentration ranges from 0.55 to 23.19 Î¼g/m3. Toluene concentrations ranged from16.29 Î¼g/m3 to 120.19 Î¼g/m3. Concentration (o,m,p)-Xylene ranges from 5.81 Î¼g/m3 to 14.73 Î¼g/m3. Ethyl Benzene concentrations ranged from 1.32 Î¼g/m3 to 8.63 Î¼g/m3. According to the risk assessment results, the exhaust gas from the incinerator has caused secondary environmental pollution, affecting the health of the workers operating the solid domestic waste incinerator. Onthat basis, the article recommends applying a number of management measures to minimize the negative impacts from the operation of the solid waste incinerator to the environment and the health of the workers operating the incinerator
A SUGGESTION FOR SUSTAINABLE GROUNDWATER USE ONINTENSIVE ARABLE AREA IN SEMIARID REGION
Authors: HAM YOUNG-SIK
Published: July 2022

Topsoil and groundwater qualities were investigated by obtaining onsite measurements in the Alxa semiarid region in Inner Mongolia, north western China. The groundwater quality was found to be unacceptable for drinking as the concentration of groundwater nitrate (NO3â) was 66â250mg lâ1, with an average value of 130 mg lâ1; this value is 1.3â5.6 times higher than that specified by the regulatory drinking water standards recommended by the World Health Organization (50 mgNO3â lâ1) or U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (44.26 mg NO3â lâ1). The mean values of the groundwater electrical conductivity (EC) and nitrate NO3â in intensive agricultural areas were, respectively, 2.9 and 3.2 times higher than those in non-intensive agricultural areas. In addition, the groundwater EC and NO3â of the intensive and non-intensive agricultural areas exhibited considerable differences (EC: p<0.001, NO3â: p<0.05, Student t-test). This study suggests a sustainable groundwater use (as irrigation water use) without nitrogen fertilization on intensive arable area in semiarid region. The recommended amount of irrigation water use can help improve the degradation of the topsoil and enhance the groundwater qualities while decreasing the surplus N content.

Human made activities such as industrial practices have released large amount of waste waters into the environment, this has led to the existence of various emerging contaminants (which areexisting in the wastewaters) in the environmental parts. In the process of removing them fromdifferent parts of the environment, method of adsorption is used, this method is proved to be mosteconomical and reliable. In this study, sugarcane bagasse and groundnut shell has been used anadsorbents for the removal of Cr (VI) from electroplating industry waste water, this metal ion isknown to be potentially carcinogenic and mutagenic in nature. Batch experiments and Adsorption isotherms tests were carried out to study the adsorption characteristics of chromium. The removal efficiency of Cr (VI) from wastewater has been compared with different sorption parameters with two adsorbents. The effect of adsorbent dose, contact time and pH were analyzed using batch experiments. The isotherm models were studied to check the suitability of the sorption data of ion with sugarcane bagasse and groundnut shell. Column analysis has been done to check the removal efficiency under different bed depth and initial metal concentration. It is found that under optimum conditions, maximum reduction of Cr (VI) was observed to be 70.12% and 91.28% for sugarcane bagasse and groundnut shell respectively. In isotherm studies, Langmuir isothermmodel best fits for sugarcane bagasse sorption data with a value of R2=0.992 and Fruendlich modelts best to the sorption data of Cr (V I) by groundnut shell with value of R2=0.942. In the columnanalysis, the removal efficiency increases with the increase of bed depth whereas removal efficiency decreases with the increase of metal concentration. The study showed that groundnutshell (maximum removal is 91.40%) is more efficient than sugarcane bagasse (maximum removalis 78.13%).

Authors: NAIMA GUETTAF
Published: July 2022

The objective of this study is the removal of lead (II) from water by adsorption on activated carbon, prepared from animal bones. The adsorption efficiency was evaluated for the carbonized raw material at 400 Â°C and after chemical activation. The adsorption results were about 91.28%, 90.78%, 89.26% at temperatures of 27 Â°C, 35 Â°C, 45Â°C respectively. It was determined that the adsorption system obeyed the pseudo-second order kinetic model by considering the value of the correlationcoefficient (R2 > 0.99) with an adsorption constant of 1.45 minute -1 at an ambient temperature of 27Â°C. The Langmuir isotherm gave a better fit considering the correlation coefficient values (R2 > 0.99). The results indicate that charcoal from carbonized animal bones could be used as an alternative and inexpensive adsorbent for the removal of lead ions from aqueous solutions, when the appropriate conditions are met.

Published: July 2022

The demands in building infrastructures in many countries require a huge amount of concrete to be used. As such, the construction industry increased its requirement for aggregates and cement. However, quarrying and dredging of aggregates in the river harm the environment. Also, cement production contributes to carbon dioxide emissions.  The primary focus of this study is to evaluate the application of Mangima stone (phyllite schist) and eggshell powder (ESP) as fine aggregate and cement additives to the concrete paver, respectively. Laboratory tests such as sieve analysis, absorption, specific gravity, x-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and compression were performed. The conventional aggregate was replaced with 100% Mangima stones and added with 5%, 10%, and 15% ESP. The samples were subjected to 28 days curing period. Results showed that the samples with 100% Mangima stone and 15% addition of ESP obtained the highest density (2330 kg/m3) and compressive strength (17.09 MPa) but had lowest absorption capacity (0.90%). In general, as the percentage addition of ESP increases, the compressive strength of paver blocks increases. Therefore, incorporating Mangima stone and ESP is a significantly good material in making innovative concrete paver block material.

Published: July 2022

Finding the similarity Ontology-based between two verbs in bio-medical ontology is a difficult task as there is no standard dataset available. This paper is focused on verb-based similarity. So, the similarity between two nouns is taken as the benchmark for working on the verb similarity. There is no exact idea that the verb hierarchy of wordnet is capable to calculate the verb similarity between two verbs. The finding of similarity considers three parameters such as path, link, and depth. But in this paper, in addition to the path, link, and depth parameters, we also considered parameters such as stem-similarity weighting, derivation nouns weighting, and gloss similarity weighting. Moreover, we implemented two algorithms namely Rich Hierarchy Exploration and Shallow Hierarchy Exploration on a dataset and found that there is no significant difference in its performance.

Apostrophe’s Double
Authors: Gölz Sabine I.
Published: July 2022

“Apostrophe’s Double” is part of a larger research project studying the (often subliminal) strategies by which literary language writing controls its readership. Part I of the essay argues that the rhetorical trope “apostrophe” functions as one such interpellative apparatus that partitions our world and splits our practices. The trope’s operational distinction between authorized speakers / readers vs. ‘dummy’ addressees / targets sets in motion a hierarchical and divisive logic that empowers some and disqualifies others. Part II argues that there is a second version (or ‘turn’) of the figure of apostrophe that has been neglected altogether, one in which the ‘target’ responds not by turning to the interpellation but by turning away instead. This turn away is key to the poetics of certain strong women poets. Ingeborg Bachmann’s poem “Anrufung des großen Bären” (“Invocation of the Great Bear”) provides a lucid model of the transition from one to the other. Apostrophe is thus double: one establishes the apparatus, the other deconstructs it. Part III contrasts two radically divergent uses of language corresponding to these turns: Bachmann’s “Frankfurt Lectures” enact the radical change towards which her poem leads us. Jonathan Culler’s seminal article “Apostrophe” exemplifies the relation to language Bachmann frees herself from. Two subject positions emerge in the wake of this double apostrophic, each with its own constraints: one is empowered by the apparatus yet must remain subservient to it. The other reclaims sovereignty as a living being from the apparatus, on the condition of radically unrepresentable.

All subjects with allergic disease had elevated levels of serum EDN (median [interquartile range]: FA, 124.2 ng/mL [59.13-160.5 ng/mL]; AD, 110.8 ng/mL [57.52-167.9 ng/mL]; BA, 131.5 ng/mL [60.60-171.0 ng/mL]; AR, 91.32 ng/mL [46.16-145.0 ng/mL]) compared to HC (38.38 ng/mL [32.40-55.62 ng/mL]) (p < 0.0001). These elevated levels were consistent throughout the age range (6-12 years) of the healthy study subjects (p = 0.0679). EDN levels also correlated well with total immunoglobulin E (Rs = 0.5599, p < 0.0001). Looking at all individuals with an allergic disease, the area under the curve was 0.790.

Conclusions

Direct measures of eosinophilic inflammation are needed for accurate diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of allergic diseases. EDN may be a worthy biomarker of eosinophil activity and a useful screening tool for allergic diseases including FA, AD, BA, and AR.

Urticaria is a common cutaneous adverse event from coronavirus disease 2019 vaccination. Previous studies hypothesized that excipients as polyethylene glycol in BNT162b2 vaccine and polysorbate in ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine are allergens. A 28-year-old woman had urticaria after a booster vaccination with BNT162b2 at the site of previous intradermal injection with severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) spike protein. This reaction emphasized that delayed urticaria may not be an allergic reaction to excipient but rather to the immunogen as such as SARS-CoV-2 spike protein.

Published: July 2022

Target. Intensification of photosynthetic activity of narrow-leaved lupine plants in order to increase the level of crop grain yield by creating optimal conditions for their growth and development due to the combination in the technological process of the dose of mineral fertilizers calculated for the planned yield and foliar top dressing with fertilizers during critical periods of crop development, as well as seed treatment before sowing by inoculant with a fungicide. Ways. Field (to study the interaction of the research object with biotic and abiotic factors); morphophysiological (for biological control over the development of performance elements at the stages of organogenesis); weight (to establish the parameters of indicators of the elements of the structure of the crop and determine the yield of grain); statistical (statistical processing of research results). Results. The basis for increasing the yield of narrow-leaved lupine is the intensification of photosynthetic processes in plant organims. Strengthening these processes is impossible without optimizing the nutrition system at each of the corresponding stages of the life cycle of a plant organism. One of the ways to solve the problem of optimizing the balance of nutrients in agrocenosis is a complex combination in a single technological cycle of such elements as the main fertilizer, foliar fertilizing with microelements in an accessible form and sowing with seeds treated with symbiotic nitrogen-fixing microorganisms in combination with a biofungicide. The results of studies of the effect of various doses of mineral fertilizers, a bioinoculant and a disinfectant, as well as foliar fertilization with a fertilizer in a chelate form at different stages of organogenesis on the photosynthetic activity of narrow-leaved lupine cultivar Peremozhets plants are presented. The optimal dose of mineral fertilizers and the timing of foliar feeding of plants, as well as the need for pre-sowing treatment of seeds with an inoculant and a biofungicide, were determined. Conclusions. Such a complex of agrotechnical measures (applying a dose of mineral fertilizers (N68P48K66) calculated for the planned grain yield of narrow-leaved lupine variety Peremozhets 3.5 t/ha, sowing with seeds treated with a bioinoculant (1 l/t) in combination with biofungicide 3 kg/ha) on II stage of organogenesis of lupine plants) contributed to the intensification of photosynthetic activity of plants (the maximum leaf surface area (659.9 cm2/growth) was formed at the VIII stage of organogenesis, most of the dry matter (13.1 g/growth) accumulated at the X stage of organogenesis, which exceeded the absolute control values ​​by 138.8% and 61.7%, respectively.

„Living, breathing dinosaurs”
Authors: Kalbermatten Manuela , Heer Lou-Salomé
Published: July 2022

Der erste offizielle Trailer des US-Blockbusters Jurassic Park verspricht dem Kinopublikum ein ausserordentliches Erlebnis: Nach 65 Millionen Jahren wird es erstmals echte, lebende Dinosaurier zu sehen bekommen. Genau wie die fiktiven Figuren in Spielbergs Film und Michael Crichtons Roman, auf dem Jurassic Park basiert, sollen die ZuschauerInnen diese Dinosaurier nicht nur als glaubwürdig, sondern als echt, als „living, breathing dinosaurs“ wahrnehmen. Die Frage nach der Authentizität der Tiere und, eng damit verbunden, die Darstellung des Prozesses, der zu ihrer erfolgreichen und überzeugenden Erschaffung geführt hat, durchzieht nicht nur Film und Buch, sondern selbstreflexiv auch das komplexe Feld der Paratexte – vom Trailer über das Making Of bis zum Marketing – im Umfeld des „Unternehmens“ Jurassic Park.

Teil der Authentifizierungs- und Erfolgstrategien dieses Unternehmens sind zum einen die Inszenierung von und die Berufung auf Wissenschaft und Wissenschaftskritik und der Topos einer speziellen Beziehung zwischen Dinosauriern und Kindern. Zum anderen werden wissenschaftliche, (film-)technische und ökonomische Entwicklungen sowohl im Film selbst als auch in seinen verschiedenen Begleit-Erzählungen über Evolutionsnarrative inszeniert. Auf der fiktiven Ebene entzieht sich die Evolution der Kontrolle der Unternehmer und Wissenschaftler und führt zum Scheitern des Jurassic-Park-Projekts. Die Filmproduzenten dagegen inszenieren ihr Werk über die selben Evolutionsnarrative als ein Produkt, das sich unter den gegebenen Bedingungen der Filmindustrie nicht nur optimal durchsetzt, sondern von zukunftsweisender Bedeutung sein wird.
