Particle balance and return loops for microplastics in a tertiary-level wastewater treatment plant.
2021
Highlights: Dewatering by centrifugation was a step that removed a high number of MPs from the sludge. Sludge retained especially the fibrous microplactics. Reject water transported microplastics inside a wastewater treatment plant. Disc filter-based tertiary treatment ensured removal of 99% of microplastics in wastewater. Microplastics (MPs) from households, stormwater, and various industries are transported to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), where a high proportion of them are captured before discharging their residuals to watersheds. Although recent studies have indicated that the removed MPs are mainly retained in wastewater sludge, sludge treatment processes have gained less atten…
Predominance of Type 1 Innate Lymphoid Cells in the Rectal Mucosa of Patients With Non-Celiac Wheat Sensitivity: Reversal After a Wheat-Free Diet.
2016
OBJECTIVES: Non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS) is defined as a reaction to ingested wheat after exclusion of celiac disease and wheat allergy. As its pathogenesis is incompletely understood, we evaluated the inflammatory response in the rectal mucosa of patients with well-defined NCWS. METHODS: The prospective study included 22 patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)-like clinical presentation, diagnosed with NCWS by double-blind placebo-controlled challenge. Eight IBS patients not improving on wheat-free diet were used as controls. Two weeks after oral challenge was performed with 80 grams of wheat daily, cells were isolated from rectal biopsies and thoroughly characterized by fluore…

Teachers’ professional agency in a centralisation-decentralisation system and a hierarchical cultural context : the case of Hong Kong
2022
Teachers are frontline actors in actualising educational innovations. In some contexts, teachers’ professional agency is undervalued. This study investigated teachers’ agency and its related workplace affordances in Hong Kong, which features a centralised-decentralisation education governance system, and a hierarchical work culture. The study was based on 21 semi-structured interviews with teachers, and employed a deductive thematic analysis. Agency enactment was categorised into 1) pedagogical agency within classrooms, and 2) relational agency in the professional community. The factors contributing to workplace affordances were grouped as pertaining to 1) the collegial community, 2) school…
Wpływ nawożenia mineralnego oraz zastosowania osadów ściekowych na wybrane właściwości zwałowisk po eksploatacji wapieni
2006
The study, conducted in years 1998-2002, was aimed to define the optimal way of land reclamation and development o f the area of the opencast limestone mine by low-cost methods of proved efficiency. Four experimental plots, differ in respect of the soil fertilization method, were assigned within the area of the Silesian Lime Industry Works in Tarnów Opolski. Results o f physical and chemical analyses revealed that the use o f sewage sludge was not dangerous for soil properties and plants. Its uniform application on the whole land surface was more favorable than the point application by the hole treatment.

-Objetivo: estudiar la frecuencia y el espectro de las manifestaciones orales de consumidores de drogas infectados por VIH en la región de Perm. -Sujetos: 104 consumidores de droga seropositivos (69 hombres, 35 mujeres; edades desde 15 a 32; 13 co-infectados con virus de la hepatitis) y 13 consumidores de droga con SIDA (7 hombres, 6 mujeres; edades entre 16 y 37; 12 co-infectados con virus de la hepatitis). -Resultados: las formas más frecuentes de lesiones de la mucosa oral en el grupo de pacientes infectados por el VIHcandidiasis (32.7%), lesiones herpéticas (15.4%), queilitis glandular (3.9%), estomatitis aftosa recidivante (2%). La linfadenopatía regional fue observada en el 31% de los…
Sedación en el paciente geriátrico
2004
Se exponen la utilidad de la yatrosedación y de la sedación farmacológica para el tratamiento odontológico en el paciente anciano, su aplicación es necesaria debido a la mayor prevalencia de patología oral, peor tolerancia al estrés y a la asociación frecuente con patología sistémica. Se describen las vías de administración de psicofármacos más indicada según la patología asociada y a la interrelación farmacológica más frecuente con su patología de base. La fármaco-sedación siempre debe ir acompañada de un manejo psicológico para así minimizar las dosis y de una anestesia loco-regional correcta. A review is made of the utility of iatrosedation and pharmacological sedation in the dental trea…

Socio-technical risk governance through dyadic risk dialogue : copper corrosion as a safety challenge in the geological disposal of spent nuclear fuel
2014
The risk of corrosion in oxygen-free water has become an issue of scientific controversy possibly even threatening the realisation of the final disposal of spent nuclear fuel in Finland and Sweden. In Sweden there has been extensive discussion about the issue since 2007, but only recently has this debate increased in Finland although the similar disposal concept (KBS-3) is applied in both countries. In this report, we analyse how the implementer, Posiva (a Finnish nuclear waste company), and the regulator, STUK (the Finnish Radiation and Nuclear Safety Authority), have been engaged in a dialogue on the risk of copper corrosion. For over thirty years the implementer and regulator have been e…
