Sustainable development assessment on Grass-based circular business models for rural agri-food value chains (GO-GRASS)

(Corresponding) Mosquera-Losada M., Rodríguez-Rigueiro F., Ferreiro-Domínguez N., Álvarez-López V., Franco-Grandas T., Rigueiro-Rodríguez A., Santiago-Freijanes J.
Topic: 
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
Climate change affects temperate areas by increasing the risk of suffering extreme climatic events and sharping major problematics. Moreover, climate change and its related effects jeopardize water and food supply. Rural areas are key for sustainable development and provide socio-economics...Read more

SOIL EROSION AS A CONSEQUENCE OF CLIMATE CHANGE

(Corresponding) Hupková D.
Topic: 
Climate change mitigation and adaptation
The climate change and relevant negative impacts are currently widely discussed topic. The agricultural soil erosion represent the risks generated also by agricultural activities reflected in soil quality. Rapid climate change can cause the instability of most agricultural and forest ecosystems...Read more

An Assessment of Soil Erosion using RUSLE Model: A Case Study from the Marmara Region

Ezer A., (Corresponding) Güven B.
Topic: 
Estimation and prediction under past and future conditions (climate, population, land use change)
Soil resource is essential for livelihood of human being. Soil erosion is one of the most serious natural problem affected by land degradation, agricultural and other human induced activities, such as climate change, particularly the changed precipitation trend. The aim of the study is applying the...Read more

European and IMO framework on the disposal of ship waste - Greek legal interventions

(Corresponding) Dede P., Manologlou S., Tselentis V.
Topic: 
Environmental impact of maritime transport
For almost every type of ship-generated waste, there is a variety of waste flows and on-board treatment methods. Studies show that ships use different treatment methods and often only treat part of a waste stream. This results in a difference between the amounts of waste generated and the amounts...Read more

The comparison of sediment quality in the rivers the Eastern Slovakia by Potential ecological risk index

(Corresponding) Singovszka E., Balintova M.
Topic: 
Heavy metals in the environment
The current pollution of sedimentary environment is very serious and exceeds load capacity limit and it is influenced by other external factors such as climate, hydrodynamic conditions, pH, salinity, Eh, temperature and other. This influences can cause the heavy metals are re-released from the...Read more

Assessment of radon concentration in a residential building – a case study

(Corresponding) Singovszka E., Vertal M., Estokova A.
Topic: 
Environmental exposures and human health
It is known that the highest contribution to the yearly radiation dose for population derives from natural radioactivity. About 50% of that is estimated to be caused by exposure to radon (Rn) and its products. Human exposure to indoor Rn is currently considered as a relevant research topic, because...Read more

Contribution to low-carbon building industry and improved durability through incorporation of waste into cement composites

Estokova A., (Corresponding) Figmig R., (Corresponding) Singovszka E.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
By using mineral waste in the production of cement composites, it is possible not only to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint, but by adding secondary waste such as fly ash, silica fume or slag, some properties of the resulting composites are also improved. The waste mentioned are...Read more

Determining a Probability of the uncontrolled landfills emergence in Georgia's Rural Areas Using Integrated Methodology

Buachidze N., Dvalishvili N.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
In this work, with the support of the local municipality, we’ve collected for each highland region the data showing: the number of population, existence of the main sources causing waste, the quantity of the dumpster, the frequency of the waste removal with the relevant technic etc. Based on all...Read more

Negative role of uncontrolled landfills in Georgia in environmental pollution processes

Kuchava G., Buachidze N., Chikviladze K., Shubladze E.
Topic: 
Solid waste management
In the laboratories the special research were carried to determine the pollution level in the samples collected, which due to the direct impact of these types of landfill sites on the surrounding areas, are often the main polluters of environment. The pollution conditions were studied based on...Read more

Necessity of Full Implementation of Type Approval for Non Road Mobile Machinery in the Republic of Croatia

(Corresponding) Lulic Z., Sraga V., Šagi G., Ilincic P.
Topic: 
Air pollution
Along with continuous progress in the reduction of emissions from road vehicles, the Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) becomes a more and more important source of emissions. Namely, although the EU Regulation 2016/1628 for NRMM introduces the latest limit emission values known as Stage V, their...Read more
