INVESTIGATION OF THE PERIODICITY OF GROUNDWATER LEVEL FLUCTUATION USING BY WAVELET SPECTRUM
ANALYSIS IN THE GREAT HUNGARIAN PLANE Tamas Garamhegyi, József Kovács, Péter Tanos, Norbert Magya, Abstract Like other environmental processes, shallow groundwater fluctuation also behaves periodically. With a hand full of periodicity analysis tools, the obtained period times can be taken as averages for the whole investigated time period. Thus, the question may turn up, does the estimated average period time characterize the whole time period, or not. This is especially important in the case of such complex phenomena as the shallow groundwater fluctuation, driven by numerous factors. Because of the continuous changes in the oscillating components of the shallow groundwater time series, the most appropriate method should be used to investigate its periodicity, this is the wavelet spectrum analysis. Different period lengths were observed in the time series (1, 5 & 11 yrs), but in the analysis the focus was on the annual period. The subject of the research were the 309 shallow groundwater observation wells located in the E part of the Great Hungarian Plane with a temporal coverage of 40 to 70 years. It was found that the annual period is missing in certain segments of the time series and it is suspected that extreme weather events, precipitation and climate change are responsible for this phenomenon. Keywords: E part of the Great Hungarian Plane *ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Tamas Garamhegyi E-Mail Address: [email protected]
IMPACTS OF RIVERBED CLOGGING ON A DIVERTED RIVER IN CENTRAL EUROPE
Balázs Trásy, József Kovács, Abstract On 25. October 1992, Czechoslovakia diverted the Danube, which formed the border between it and Hungary, at rkm 1851.75 to its own territory. After the diversion the original runoff reaching Szigetköz decreased by 80%. This started a chain of devastating and irreversible changes in its ecosystem. The datasets used during my research were obtained from the Geological Institute of Hungary, and consist of 56 physical and chemical parameters taken from surface and subsurface water samples quarterly over the time period 1995-2004. The aim of the study was to assess the background processes governing the hydrological, hydrogeological and geochemical changes induced by the diversion of the Danube. *ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Balázs Trásy E-Mail Address: [email protected]
THE CHARMING OF FRAMING – IT MAKES LOW ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERN PEOPLE MORE
CONSERVATIVE Shih-Chieh Chuang Abstract Environmental quality strongly depends on human behavior patterns. However, despite the declared positive attitudes towards sustainable tourism, only a few tourists act accordingly by behaving responsibly towards environments. This study aims to investigate the persuasive communications of intervention strategy of behavioral changes through message framing and environmental identity threat for the attempt to promote environmental sustainability.

EVALUATION OF FLY ASH FOR THEIR EFFECTIVE UTILIZATION IN MINE FILLING PURPOSES
RUSHIKESH NAIK Abstract Of the seven hundred and fifty millions of metric tons of fly ash that are produced annually worldwide, only a small portion e.g., 20% to 50% of the fly ash is used for productive purposes, such as an additive or stabilizer in cement, bricks, embankments, etc. The remaining amount of fly ash produced annually must either be disposed off in controlled landfills/ mine fills or waste containment facilities, or stockpiled for future use or disposal. As a result of the cost associated with disposing these vast quantities of fly ash, a significant economical incentive exists for developing new and innovative, yet environmentally safe applications for the utilization of fly ash. The main aim of the present investigation was designed to develop an engineered backfill material to be placed in mine voids using fly ash as the major component. Experimental set up was designed and fly ash samples from seven numbers of thermal power plants situated at different parts of the country were collected. Investigation into detail physical, chemical, morphological, and mineralogical characterizations have been carried out to choose the most favorable fly ash source for mine filling purposes. *ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: RUSHIKESH NAIK E-Mail Address: [email protected]

ISSUES RELATED TO CREATION OF BORDERS OF THE AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION SPACE IN LAND
CONSOLIDATION PROCESSES IN POLAND WITH CONSIDERATION OF SOIL, WATER AND AGRICULTURAL
LANDSCAPE PROTECTION Katarzyna Sobolewska-Mikulska, Abstract The idea of rural areas development in the European Union has been implemented according to sustainable development rules. This approach is also valid in case of Polish rural areas, in particular when arrangement of borders of the agricultural production space is considered. Changes in density and sizes of farms in Poland exposed and intensified situation when agricultural production resources are not utilised, as well as degradation of the natural environment. From the perspective of the agricultural policy it has been estimated that in Poland the process of land concentration should be combined with the process of reduction of the number of farms. This process is performed in Polish conditions in the form of surveying works - in particular, as land consolidation operations. The necessity to follow the sustainable development rules proved that land consolidation works cover too narrow scope of conventional solutions. This process should not ignore ecological, environmental aspects, as well as other aspects related to spatial arrangement and landscape. Keywords: particular, as land consolidation operations *ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Katarzyna Sobolewska-Mikulska E-Mail Address: [email protected]
MEDICAL WASTE TREATMENT AND MANAGEMENT IN VIETNAMESE HOSPITALS: CASE STUDY IN THU DUC
DISTRICT HOSPITAL 2015 Loan Thi Thanh Nguyen, Abstract
Nowadays, besides the economic development, public health and health activities are concerned. In Vietnam, the number of hospitals and treatment requirements are increasing. Since 1997, the legal texts of hospital waste management are issued. Hospital operation is discharging a large amount of waste types, when not managed and handled efficiently, causing serious environmental pollution, effects on the patients, people living around the hospital. Thu Duc District Hospital is one of the major hospitals, in particular of Thu Duc District, in genetal of Ho Chi Minh City. The number of patient visiting for healthcare is increasing to 2,466 times/date. However, environmental management in the hospital has many drawbacks. This study assessed the hospital’s medical waste management (solid, liquid and gas emissions). Results showed that: the coordination in waste management between the functional departments and among employees is not unified; staff’s awareness is not prescribed; the arrangement of medical garbages, hazardous waste, handling systems are not scienctifical and hygiene; the loss of solid medical waste is difficult to control (1,470 kg solid medical waste / day); passive in handling medical waste by no private incinerator but for centralized processing city. The study proposed solutions included: infection control, hospital sanitation; management measures: the law, policies and measures for planning, building management systems and measures for classifying, collecting, transporting, storing waste, environmental economic measures; technical measures: waste water treatment systems, solid waste, hazardous waste and emissions.
Keywords: management, medical waste, Thu Duc district hospital , treatment.

The Potential of Different Spore Forming Bacteria in Heavy oil Spill Clean up
Biji Shibulal, Saif N Al-Bahry, Yahya M Al-Wahaibi, Abdulkader E Elshafie, Ali S Al- Bemani, Sanket J Joshi, Abstract
The Sultanate of Oman is seriously threatened by oil pollution as Oman is one of the major oil producing countries in the Middle East and about 30-40% of the oil produced is passed along the Oman Coast. Clean-up and remediation of heavy crude oil is a challenge. The objectives of the study were to isolate heavy crude oil degrading spore forming bacteria and to study their responses to heavy oil spills. A total of 42 different spore forming bacteria were isolated and confirmed as heavy oil biodegrading ones. The bacterial isolates were primarily representatives of genera Bacillus and Paenibacillus. Five different isolates which showed maximum growth at high concentrations of heavy crude oil (7% w/v, API <60) in Bushnell Haas media (BHM) were selected for the study. The isolates were identified by 16S rDNA sequencing as Bacillus licheniformis BG2 (KP119098), Bacillus subtilis BS2 (KP119102), Bacillus firmus BG4 (KP119100) and Bacillus halodurans BG5 (KP119101) and Paenibacillus ehimensis BS1 (KP119106) and their nucleotide sequences were submitted to NCBI GenBank, USA. Degradation efficiency was measured using Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry (GC–MS). The heavy crude oil, degraded for a period of one week, was compared with those of a naturally biodegraded oil on consecutive third, sixth and ninth days of incubation. The GC-MS analysis showed a significant effect of these organisms in the biodegradation on heavy crude oil on the ninth day of incubation (Tstat≥Tcritical, P≤0.05). The results showed that the overall reduction of total heavy crude oil was 22%, 18%, 60.1%, 26.5% and 67.1% for BG2, BS2, BG4, BG5 and BS1 respectively compared to that of the control. It can be concluded these strains can be used as an effective eco-friendly candidate for heavy oil spill clean-up.

The implementation of small water retention programmes in Poland
Małgorzata Anna Stańczuk-Gałwiaczek Abstract Water management in Poland faces serious problems due to droughts and rapid floods occurring periodically. The amount of water in Poland is considered relatively small and the resources are spatially distributed. Any kind of action to preserve and improve the state of water resources in Poland should be considered valued. One such action is the realization of small water retention. Small water retention fulfills a variety of functions and has plenty of positive local impacts since it influences natural environment, farming and forestry. The paper aims to analyse the accomplishment of actions concerning the improvement of small water retention in Poland in the years 2008 – 2014. The study was based on the data of Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development on small water retention programmes in Poland. The paper presents quantitative state of small water retention in Poland, i.a. volumes of retained water and the increase of retention capacity in particular voivodships. The aim of the study was also to compare the current state of small water retention with the state initially intended to obtain till year 2015. As a conslusion there are discussed possible reasons of analyzed state of implementation of small water retention programmes in Poland. Keywords: small water retention, water reservoirs, retention increment, land consolidation, water management; *ADDRESS FOR CORRESPONDENCE: Małgorzata Anna Stańczuk-Gałwiaczek E-Mail Address: [email protected]
