Authors: Lachinani Kordesofla Maryam , Abna Parisa 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The development of societies and the increasing growth of recent constructions, especially in cities, have caused environmental issues, destruction, and reduction of natural resources and the environment, especially green and green-blue spaces. According to studies, in the past years, many parts of natural and even pristine surfaces and spaces in big cities have been turned into artificial, and impermeable spaces, which has aggravated environmental and ecological problems and also it has aggravated the aesthetic characteristics of the urban landscape, particularly in arid and semiarid areas. In this case, the studies show that identifying and applying natural ecosystems such as wetlands and their artificial types due to their multifunctional aspects and benefits, especially in urban areas, can be the basis for reducing many issues mentioned. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to this critical issue and do more research to know different types of constructed wetland ecosystems along with their services and values. The primary aim of this research is to identify the values and services of this ecosystem and to examine the diverse patterns of constructed wetlands in order to extract and design simple patterns of construcred wetlands. We want to know their role and position in landscape architecture and urban planning and design process. Also, this study aims to examine the potencial and possibillity of building constructed wetlands in urban areas particularly in arid areas and Mediterranean regions, according to Koppen climate classiffication. In this regard, the theoretical framework is provided based on the study of specialized texts and the study of similar foreign case studies and diverse patterns of urban wetlands with their different functions. These reviews have been done in a specific format consisting of some main aspects, such as the function and supply sources of wetlands. The final result and extractted simplified patterns, according to case studies, can be considered as a framework for designing and planning urban constructed wetlands and a guide for planning and designing a landscape consisting of this element, especially in areas with arid, semiarid, and Mediterranean climates with hot and dry summers.

Abstract
Tall buildings have unique seismic challenges, particularly the P-delta effect. This can cause an increase in loads on certain parts of the structure, leading to potential instability or collapse. The solution is to use buckling restrained bracing (BRB) systems, which improve the lateral strength of the structure and control the P-delta effect. The present study aimed to determine the effectiveness of various brace configurations in reducing the seismic response of a 50-story reinforced concrete structure, with a focus on P-delta effects. To achieve this, linear dynamic analysis (response spectrum analysis) was conducted using E-TAB software. The selection of bracing configuration, however, depends upon the seismic zone. For this reason, five distinct configurations (X-pattern, inverted V, forward inclined, zig-zag, and bare frame) are considered for the analysis of buildings in different seismic zones. A building model was employed to study the behaviour of a structure with and without BRB to compare the parameters of storey drift, story displacement, diaphragm drift, story shear, story stiffness, and story acceleration using E-TAB software. Results showed that both Type-4 and Type-2 braces perform similarly in several aspects in seismic zones III and V. However, Type-2 braces perform slightly better in terms of storey stiffness-Y, with a lower difference of 39-40 % compared to Type-4 braces with a difference of 49 %.
Susceptibility of Fluvalinate and Esfenvalerate on Adult Tarek Alburnus tarichi (Güldenstädt 1814)
Authors: Kankaya Ertuğrul 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
Fluvalinate and esfenvalerate are pyrethroid insecticides and are used to control insect pests. These pesticides can enter the aquatic environment in different ways after use, causing toxicity. Tarek is a fish of the Cyprinidae family native to the Lake Van basin in Turkey. This study was conducted to determine the acute toxicity of fluvalinate and esfenvalerate to adult tarek. In the bioassays, tarek with an average length of 20.6±1.2 cm and an average weight of 93.9±14.0 g were used for fluvalinate, while an average length of 19.7±1.2 cm and an average weight of 85.5±16.6 g were used for esfenvalerate. Fish were exposed to fluvalinate using the semi-static test method, and esfenvalerate using the static test method. The toxicity tests were performed under the natural photoperiod. The concentrations used for fluvalinate were 0.15, 0.30, 0.45, 0.60 µg L−1, while for esfenvalerate they were 0.33, 0.67, 1.00, 1.34 µg L−1. The tests were performed at 13±1 °C for 96 hours with dechlorinated tap water. At the end of the toxicity tests, the mean lethal concentration (LC50) of fluvalinate after 96 hours was determined to be 0.338 (0.230-0.477) µg L−1 and the above concentration of esfenvalerate was determined to be 0.475 (0.293-0.640) µg L−1 for adult tarek. Tarek exposed to fluvalinate and esfenvalerate showed toxic effects throughout the test, such as splashing, vigorous and then slower swimming, loss of balance, increased respiratory rate and contraction. Consequently, fluvalinate and esfenvalerate were found to be highly toxic to tarek and therefore the concentration of fluvalinate should not exceed 0.003 µg L−1, and that of esfenvalerate should not exceed 0.005 µg L−1 in freshwater environments where tarek lives.

Abstract
In Indonesia, sea sand mining was introduced in the late 1970s, and one of the sites is Banten Province, Indonesia. Sea sand mining in Banten waters began in 2003 after the issuance of a permit by the Regent of Serang Regency, namely Decree No. 540/Kep.68/Huk/2003, which was updated by the Regional Regulation of Serang Regency No. 2 of 2013 on the Zoning Plan for Coastal and Small Island Areas in Serang Regency for 2013-2033. Studies related to marine sand mining in Banten, Indonesia are required in accordance with the principle of ecosystem sustainability. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of sea sand mining on the ecological quality of coral reefs and hydro-oceanographic hue on Tunda Island. The survey method was used to determine the coral reef cover, while the hydrodynamic aspects were carried out by simulating bathymetric data, tidal and wave patterns. In addition, a simulation of sediment distribution was performed to determine the effects of sea sand mining using MIKE 12 sand transport module. The percentage of coral cover in the west, east and south of Tunda Island was 66.00%, 39.67% and 28.15%, respectively. The maximum sea depth around the study site reached 70 m, while it is relatively shallow in the mining area. In the last 14 years, the prevailing wave height ranged from 0.5-0.75 m or 49.02%, and 0.25-0.50 m or 36.69%. In addition, the concentration of TSS was relatively high, ranging from 40 mg/l to 60 mg/l. From the results, the most commonly observed impact of sea sand mining off Tunda Island was the high concentration of TSS. This can be prevented by rotating TSHD vessels, especially in the areas adjacent to Tunda Island.

Abstract

Objective. Besides the early detection and treatment of diabetic foot ulcers, being aware of the risk factors for major amputation plays a crucial role in preventing the major lower limb amputations. Major lower limb amputations are not just mentally and physically hard for patients, but also have an effect on patient’s survival and are a financial burden on both patients and healthcare systems.

Subjects and Methods. We defined 37 potential risk factors for major amputation and these risk factors were investigated among 507 patients who had ulcers in their feet and were seen by the diabetic foot ulcer council at Ege University Faculty of Medicine. In our study, 106 (20.9%) patients ended up undergoing major lower limb amputation.

Results. The univariate analysis showed that 24 defined risk factors were statistically significant. In the multivariate analysis using the Cox regression model, 6 risk factors remained statistically significant. Multivariate-adjusted hazard ratios were 4.172 for hyperlipidemia, 3.747 for albumin <3.365 g/dL, 3.368 for C-reactive protein (CRP) >2.185 mg/L, 2.067 for presence of gangrenous Wagner stage, 1.931 for smoking tobacco >30 pack/year, and 1.790 for hematocrit (HCT) <31.5%. Most patients with major amputation presented with a neuroischemic foot (58%). Gender and age were not found to be risk factors for major amputation. Having less than 7% of hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels had a direct proportion with major amputation numbers. The mortality rates in one year, two and three years after the major amputation operations were 24.6%, 30%, and 35.9%, respectively.

Conclusion. Being familiar with these risk factors for major amputation is crucial for multi-disciplinary teams to take good care of patients with diabetic foot ulcers and to lower the need for major amputations.

Managing soil organic matter through biochar application and varying levels of N fertilisation increases the rate of water-stable aggregates formation
Authors: Šimanský Vladimír , Wójcik-Gront Elżbieta , Buchkina Natalya , Horák Ján 
Published: May 2023

Abstract
The formation of soil aggregates, including water-stable aggregates, is linked to soil organic matter (SOM). Biochar (B) is carbon-rich, which, in addition to storing carbon in a stable form for many years, has important benefits for soils and plants, but the mechanisms of soil structure formation after B and mineral fertiliser application are not sufficiently studied. For this reason, the study aimed to answer the following questions: How (1) the rate of B and (2) varying levels of nitrogen fertiliser (N) being applied to the soil affect the dynamics of soil aggregation due to the increase in the content of soil organic carbon, labile carbon in the bulk soil and in the content of water-stable aggregates (WSA) size-fractions. In 2014–2021, in Dolná Malanta (experimental site of Slovak University of Agriculture on silty loam Haplic Luvisol) during the growing seasons, soil samples were collected from all the B (0, 10 and 20 t ha–1) and N (0, 1st and 2nd level of N fertilisation) treatments. The results have shown that the highest values of many variables were associated with B20 treatment for all the N fertilisation levels. B compared to N more significantly affected the content of almost all the size-fractions of WSA. In all the treatments, the content of WSAma >5 mm, 5–3 mm, 3–2 mm and 1–0.5 mm in size was increasing over time – a yearly increase from 0.31 to 2.14% for 8-years. Based on the changes in the SOM content, WSA were divided into 3 groups: 1) Water-stable microaggregates (WSAmi < 0.25 mm), 2) Smaller size-fractions of water-stable macroaggregates (WSAma 1–0.25 mm), and 3) Medium and large fractions of WSAma (WSAma ≥1 mm).

Abstract
The objectives of the research were to: (1) assess the strength of relationships between the soil thermal and hydrophysical properties, (2) evaluate the strength of association of evapotranspiration of spring wheat crop with soil thermal and hydrophysical properties, and (3) estimate the ranges of the thermal and hydrophysical properties of the sandy Haplic Podzol during the growing period of spring wheat in 2022. The study included instrumental simultaneous measurements of meteorological data, soil water retention curve, soil moisture content (SMC) and thermal properties. Actual evapotranspiration was calculated according to the Allen equation. Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients showed that the increase in SMC from 0.10 cm3 cm−3 to 0.26 cm3 cm−3 resulted in a significant increase in thermal conductivity (r = 0.81, p < 0.001), volumetric heat capacity (r = 0.93, p < 0.001) and thermal diffusivity (r = 0.94, p < 0.001). Actual evapotranspiration also rose with the increasing SMC (r = 0.91, p < 0.001) and matric water potentials (r = 0.61, p < 0.05). As a consequence of the changes in SMC, the Spearman’s rank correlation coefficients supported the strong positive relationships of actual evapotranspiration with volumetric heat capacity (r = 0.97, p < 0.001), thermal conductivity (r = 0.96, p < 0.001) and thermal diffusivity (r = 0.96, p < 0.001). Pearson correlation coefficients also supported the strong input of thermal inertia to the actual evapotranspiration (r = 0.88, p < 0.01). During the whole period of observations, actual evapotranspiration varied from 0.05 to 0.59 mm hr−1, soil thermal conductivity – from 0.225 to −1.056 W m−1 K−1, volumetric heat capacity – from 1.057 to 1.889 MJ m–3 K−1, heat diffusivity from 0.189 to 0.559 mm2 s−1, and thermal inertia – from 516 to 1412 J m−2 K−1 s−0.5.

Abstract
The concern about health is continuously increasing and the COVID-19 pandemic has caused so many changes at a global level, affecting people, regardless demographic features. Different analysis show that people have been affected from different points of view, physically, mentally, and emotionally. The research is focusing on Romanians’ perceptions, believes and behaviours in respect with their body, mind and soul (BMS) condition. The paper evaluates the effect of the state of BMS on subjective well-being during the Covid-19 pandemic. It was conducted a descriptive research, using interviews based on an online anonymous questionnaire. The study reveals that when referring to their well-being, the majority are considering emotional and mind condition first. More hours spent in front of a screen and lack of socialization are the main effects of the pandemic. The respondents considered that their emotional state was impacted most in the last year. More then 60% became more aware of the importance of well-being. The majority of the respondents evaluated separately their physical, mental and emotional condition as being good, sustaining their state especially though walking, sleeping enough hours per night and socializing with others, and spending less then 100 euros per month for maintaining their subjective well-being.

Published: May 2023

Abstract
Investments with sustainable principles that fulfil environmental, social, and governance (ESG) that stress the notion of sovereignty, with varied financing needs and criteria and jurisdictional features, have just lately begun to emerge. We intend to investigate and debate the volume and scope of research performed in that environment. Using PRISMA framework, we obtained 37 articles from 2009 to 2021 related to sovereign aspects of ESG based sustainable investment from the Scopus database. We found that the issues discussed were dominated by Sovereign Wealth Funds (SWF), particularly from Norway, which has the world’s largest market value. We emphasize the need for research in developing countries that have SWFs as well as host countries, analyze sovereign investment in the climate-impacted sectors, formulate our own composite index as a common denominator, where the cross-border legal basis for SWF is strengthened.
