Full textAbstract:
Most claims in marketing communication take the form of causal claims stating that using a certain product (the cause, e.g., "Fresh Air, the electronic device") produces a certain benefit (the effect, e.g., "purifies the air at home"). Marketers acknowledge (and studies show) that providing an explanation on the mechanism by which the product produces the effect fosters persuasion. Yet, instead of providing the specific mechanism (e.g. "it purifies the air at home by reducing dust parcels in the air"), they often use general technological terms. Thus, instead of explaining, "Fresh-Air purifies the air at home by reducing dust particles in the air," they "explain" that the product purifies the air by "applying a new algorithm." We call explanations that use general technological terms pseudo explanations, because they follow the same structure, but they lack the crucial element that enables persuasion—they are not content specific.Although using pseudo explanations is a common practice in marketing, no studies have examined if they affect persuasion. In two studies, we exposed participants to causal claims for various products in several formats, and asked them to indicate the probability that they would purchase the product if they needed it. Generally, results show persuasion was the same for pseudo explanations as for the claim alone, when both were less persuasive than mechanistic explanations.Consumers are sensitive to the fact that pseudo explanations do not really explain the mechanism. Thus, whereas pseudo explanations do not affect persuasion, mechanistic explanations do.

Abstract In ancient times, humans were very accustomed to depending on nature, so that in the past humans held the title as an outdoor species. Over time with many technological advances, the pattern of human life has shifted to being an indoor species. Currently, almost 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas and is projected to increase to 68% by 2050. Based on the National Human Activity Pattern Survey (NHAPS), the total time humans spend indoors is 86.9%. Research shows that air pollutants contained in indoor air are 2 to 5 times more than outdoor air. The neglect of the air conditioning system also worsens indoor air quality. It is often found that the supply of fresh air and the concentration of pollutants in the work or activity zone is unknown, even though this is a crucial matter. With the amount of time spent indoors, air quality and the distribution of pollutants in indoor air becomes very important. This research was conducted spatial modelling of air pollutant distribution using the kriging interpolation technique. The results of spatial modelling with this method produce an average of R-squared=70,98% dan RMSE = 0.03. Several factors influence the increase in pollutant concentrations that are the activity of the occupants, the number of occupants, and environmental conditions outside.

Passenger comfort is important in railway transport system. The train operator company in Indonesia would like to increase passenger comfort by installing home air conditioning into all existing carriages of the economy train. The air conditioning is expected to give better passenger convince. Therefore, the aims of this research are to know the cooling load and compare characteristic between home Air Conditioning (AC) and train AC. The cooling load calculation is analyzed using Cooling Load Temperature Difference (CLTD)/Solar Cooling Load (SCL)/Cooling Load Factor (CLF) method. Comparison between both home air conditioning and train air conditioning are discussed to identify the benefits and drawbacks of each type. The total heat that needs to be removed from a passenger carriage with home AC is 104,334 Btu/h, while the total cooling capacity of home AC is 75,000 Btu/h. The passenger carriages with train AC have cooling capacity 119,100 Btu/h to remove heat 11,5290 Btu/h. The Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) value of most home AC is higher than train AC, installation time of home AC is shorter than train AC, total cost for 20 years period of home AC is more than train AC. There is no guarantee for home AC, so everything that happens to it will become the full responsibility of train operator company. The train AC control system is more effective than the home AC. No fresh air is permitted to circulate within the home AC system hence, the same air is repeatedly processed in the system. Implementing home air conditioning in the existing passenger carriages is worthwhile for short time period in the goal to increase and improve the level of service provided by giving better comfortability to the passenger.

Abstract Introduction Rising healthcare costs and resource utilization represents a growing problem in the United States, especially for individuals with progressive neuromuscular disorders. Diagnosis and treatment of obstructive sleep apnea has been demonstrated to decrease healthcare resources in the general population; however, there is no well-defined approach to diagnosis and management of sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) in patients with neuromuscular disease (NMD). Many providers believe it best to diagnose and introduce positive airway pressure (PAP) support during a single overnight in-laboratory sleep study. Patients with NMD require a team with understanding of sleep physiology, complex pulmonary pathophysiology, disease process and progression, and advanced PAP therapy modes and indications. Optimal treatment requires patient and caregiver education, frequent monitoring of PAP data, ongoing evaluation of oxygenation and ventilation parameters, as well as assistance with device issues. We hypothesized a focused, personalized approach to managing patients with NMD will improve patient adherence to PAP therapy, nocturnal oxygenation, and ventilation, as well as limit hospital admissions. Methods 10 patients diagnosed with NMD (including muscular dystrophy, diaphragm paralysis, and scoliosis) presented to UPMC Montefiore sleep lab for daytime accommodation study with a pulmonary-sleep physician and dual-trained respiratory therapist-sleep technician. The visit included mask fitting, patient education, and initiation of PAP therapy with titration of bilevel pressure settings. Data collected included: pre- and 3-month-post nocturnal oxygen saturation and serum bicarbonate level; data download at 3 months including device usage, leak, average PAP pressures; and number of hospital admissions. Results All 10 patients demonstrated initiation of PAP therapy with usage on 100% of days for minimum of 6 hours per night. There was improvement in average nocturnal oxygen saturation and serum bicarbonate level after visit compared to prior. 3 patients were hospitalized in 6-12 months following, none for respiratory related reasons. Conclusion In this pilot study, an innovative daytime PAP accommodation study for patients with sleep-disordered breathing due to NMD results in excellent initiation and adherence to PAP therapy, as well as improvement in oxygenation and ventilation and minimal hospitalizations. Future studies are necessary including a larger randomized trial to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of home based NIV initiation.

Building America (BA) partner McStain Neighborhoods built the Discovery House in Loveland, CO, with an extensive package of energy-efficient features, including a high-performance envelope, efficient mechanical systems, a solar water heater integrated with the space-heating system, a heat-recovery ventilator (HRV), and ENERGY STAR appliances. The National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Building Science Consortium conducted short-term field-testing and building energy simulations to evaluate the performance of the house. These evaluations are utilized by BA to improve future prototype designs and to identify critical research needs. The Discovery House building envelope and ducts were very tight under normal operating conditions. The HRV provided fresh air at a rate of about 35L∕s(75cfm), consistent with the recommendations of ASHRAE Standard 62.2. The solar hot water system is expected to meet the bulk of the domestic hot water (DHW) load (>83%), but only about 12% of the space-heating load. DOE-2.2 simulations predict whole-house source energy savings of 54% compared to the BA Benchmark (Hendron, R., 2005 NREL Report No. 37529, NREL, Golden, CO). The largest contributors to energy savings beyond McStain’s standard practice are the solar water heater, HRV, improved air distribution, high-efficiency boiler, and compact fluorescent lighting package.

The distribution of fresh water resources is extremely uneven at home and abroad, and the air contains a large amount of water vapor that can be used, so air water has been a widespread concern. Air condensation method is simple and efficient and has strong water intake capacity, but it often needs to consume huge energy. Therefore, this work proposes a new simple and innovative method of drawing water from the air, based on extracting water from air process achieved by using the soil as the cold source. The new type of ground cold air water intake system is designed by the new innovative method, which uses the soil with constant temperature as the cold source to reduce energy consumption. By comparing the central composite design experiment with the field experiment and analyzing the condensate water and outlet temperature under different wind speed and humidity conditions, the quadratic equation expression of condensate water and outlet temperature is obtained, and the optimal import wind speed range under a certain humidity range is obtained according to the mathematical model. The experimental results show that the heat transfer effect between air and soil is ideal, the water intake can reach 2.2 kg in 20-hour continuous collection experiment, the air temperature is close to the soil temperature after cooling, and the effect of water intake is good, which confirms the feasibility of soil as a cold source of air condensation.

Abstract_ This study basically aims to examine the vulnerability of the elderly when they are using the space in their home within a high densely settlement. Due to the high density of the urban settlement, the condition of the elderly living unit that located in the middle of settlement area is questioned. Under the condition of lack of space, actually two questions are appeared. First question is “how do the elderly residents use the space for their daily life?”. Moreover, the second question is about “is the room as well the home environment good enough for supporting the elderly daily activities and maintaining their health?” These questions are actually directing to necessary of examining the vulnerability the elderly in their own home. This study was carried out through conducting field observation and doing the individual interview in two neighborhoods located at the city center of Yogyakarta City. By interviewing the elderly residents this study identified the room or spaces that most frequently used the senior residents during their lives inside their own home. The identification then proceeds in to the assessment of the space condition especially related to the natural lighting and ventilation. This study found that in urban settlement with high density and aging population, there was subtle vulnerability existed in the spaces within the elderly’s home that most frequently used. This vulnerability was sourced at the conditions of natural lighting and fresh air ventilation that performed by the home environment properties. These physical aspects of the space considered significant since the resident houses were in very limited urban spaces. Although the vulnerability is subtle or slight, this condition indicates that the elderly residents’ health is really threatened.Keywords: Elderly; Home Environment; High Densely Settlement; Use of Space; Vulnerability.

The present work proposes a simulation and control framework for home and building automation, focusing on heating, ventilating, and air conditioning processes. Control systems based on different advanced control architectures and different control policies are simulated and compared, highlighting control performances, and energy-saving results in terms of CO2 emissions reduction. Heat, lighting, and natural ventilation phenomena were modelized through first-principles and empirical equations, obtaining a reliable and flexible simulation framework. Energy-consuming and green energy-supplying renewable sources were integrated into the framework, e.g., heat pumps, artificial lights, fresh air flow, and natural illuminance. Different control schemes are proposed, based on proportional–integral–derivative advanced control architectures and discrete event dynamic systems-based supervisors; different control specifications are included, resulting in a multi-mode control system. The specifications refer to energy savings and comfort management, while minimizing overall costs. Comfort specifications include thermal comfort, lighting comfort, and a good level of indoor air quality. Simulations on different scenarios considering various control schemes and specifications show the reliability and soundness of the simulation and control framework. The simulated control and energy performances show the potential of the proposed approach, which can provide energy-saving results greater or equal to 6 [%] (in each season) and 19 [%] (in one year) with respect to more standard approaches.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this article is to analyze and compare two internationally renowned Danish Gymnastics teachers, Jørgen Peter Muller and Niels Bukh. Whereas Muller’s home gymnastics had a cosmopolitan agenda that appealed to everyone regardless of ethnic origin, including many Jews, Bukh’s gymnastics increasingly became embedded in a right-wing nationalist frame of reference. Muller created an individual system of home gymnastics with a focus on health by means of exercises and the cleansing of the body that included a cold shower. In contrast, Bukh’s system was a collective form of gymnastics that emphasised the beauty of the young body. Common to both of them, however, was propagation of sexual liberation, which in Muller’s case focused on the naked heterosexual body’s manifestations in the sunlight and the fresh air. By contrast, Bukh was homosexual and through his aesthetic gaze he encouraged well-trained and sweaty young men to show their muscular upper body in touch-tight choreographies wearing only boxer shorts. It is the main thesis of the article that the contribution of sport to sexual liberation from late Victorianism’s firm grip is far greater than hitherto assumed.

Pollen is a major source of allergies, and its prevalence is rising. Essential oils, primarily composed of terpenes, are easy to diffuse and are becoming more common to use in the home. To test the effect of diffusing essential oils on indoor pollen, pollen was introduced into an enclosed environment containing an ultrasonic diffuser. Lavender, Citrus Fresh™, and Thieves® were tested against lodgepole pine pollen. Lavender was also tested against pecan pollen. An ultrasonic diffuser, containing either 100 mL of reverse osmosis (RO) water or 100 mL of RO water and 10 drops of an essential oil, was diffused in the environment to see how they would influence the amount of pollen that was deposited on the collection slides, compared to when the diffuser was off. The results show that diffusing RO water and lavender, Citrus Fresh™, or Thieves® essential oil increased the amount of lodgepole pine pollen deposited on the floor of an enclosed environment. Diffusing either RO water alone or RO water and lavender essential oil increased the amount of pecan pollen found on the floor of an enclosed environment. This suggests that a diffuser may help remove pollen from the air and potentially aid in alleviating allergies.

Traditional HVAC systems provide a uniform indoor climate for the whole building or space, whereas the occupants each have their own comfort preferences. The result is suboptimal comfort for the occupants on the one hand, with at best up to 5 % of dissatisfied, and energy losses due to control on the safe side by the building operators. Personalised conditioning systems (PCS) do not aim to heat, cool or ventilate the space but to deliver the heat, cold and fresh air directly to the occupant. This paper provides a systematic assessment about the energy saving potential and potential comfort gains that can be achieved by implementing localized and personal HVAC systems in home environments. Using the Human Thermal Module software that allows to study the thermal sensation and thermoregulation under transient and asymmetric environmental conditions, the energy saving potential was evaluated in TRNSYS, and for a case study with different user behavior patterns it was shown that comfortable micro-climates can be achieved by means of heated chairs for an air temperature as low as 17°C, and the total annual energy savings amount to 30% in winter conditions and 70% in summer conditions.

The aim of the article was to presentation of respondents (guests) opinions on the offer of agritourism farms located in the Gniezno poviat belonging to the Wielkopolska Agritourism and Rural Tourism Association and are located in Gniezno County. An empirical study was conducted on visitors (agritourists) staying on these farms. The research was conducted by means of a diagnostic survey using a questionnaire. The farms offered their guests a wide range of agritourist products and services. The research showed that the respondents staying on agritourist farms had chosen to spend their holiday there due to active leisure, contact with nature, fresh air and the consumption of home-made meals prepared by farm owners. The respondents found good tourist infrastructure, which enabled different activities, to be an important aspect of their leisure. Due to the low cost of the agritourist offer the respondents preferred to make weekend trips a few times a year.

Martial Arts and Combat Sports (MACS) are now a major area of qualitative inquiry in physical culture studies. As part of this subfield, reflexive accounts of ethnographic methods are contributing to knowledge of qualitative methods and embodied interactions. Within this article I seek to add to these growing contributions by considering a relatively understudied strategy in martial arts research – that of face–to–face interviews – from a physical and reflexive dimension. Drawing from case studies of British practitioners of Traditionalist Chinese Martial Arts (TCMAs), this confessional tale calls for a reflexive look at the embodied dimension of face–to–face interviews alongside the more conventional analysis of language.‘Zack and I eagerly scrambled up the hill. It was a break during an exciting interview, and we were keen to take some fresh air, marvel at a local Celtic cross, and most importantly, explore some of the embodied concepts that we had discussed for the last hour over a cup of tea. For over an hour we progressed from basic drills to free–flow training in close proximity, occasionally clipping each other across the ear or striking a rib, but always in good humour. When we returned to his home for his home–cooked stew and a refreshing beverage, my shoulders and forearms had plenty of ammunition to power the second half of the interview: About what just happened.’ (Field notes)

In 2020 we are facing Covid19 Pandemic crisis in the Urban-rural area. In an urban area, people are affected by this pandemic more than rural people. The environmental researchers stated in various studies that urban people are living in congested air due to inflation and lack of space for living to compare to the rural people. The urban public has a lack of ventilation in structural development. To Avoid Air Born Infection In Todays Era at Urban Area Needs Proper Home Ventilation with respect to Ventilation and Coronavirus (COVID-19). If you are using an air purifier, people must also ensure proper maintenance by following the advice of the manufacturer. If fans are used, they should be mounted where room air can be exhausted directly through a window into the outside area. Another way to reduce the spread of viruses according to experts is by letting fresh air in by keeping windows and doors open.

In the early 1800s, an awareness of potential ventricular failure stimulated interest in artificial heart replacement. In 1937 the first total artificial heart (TAH) was implanted into the chest of a dog by Russian physicians. The primary driving force for mechanical cardiac assistance developed from the necessity for circulatory assistance in order to perform corrective cardiac surgery. In 1953 the first successful closure of an atrial septal defect using extracorporeal circulation was performed. During the following decade the concept of using mechanical devices to assist the failing heart was aggressively pursued. This culminated in the first implant of a TAH in a human in 1969 as a bridge to transplant. Clinical implant of the TAH as a permanent device was performed in 1982 by researchers at the University of Utah. This patient lived for 112 days. Three successive permanent implants were performed in Louisville, Kentucky, with one patient surviving for 620 days. All of these permanent TAH patients suffered from device-related complications including bleeding, infection, and thromboembolic events. It became apparent that the present configuration of the TAH with its external drive lines and large air console was not ideal for long-term support. In 1985 the first implant of the Symbion J-7-100 TAH (Jarvik-7) as a bridge to transplant was performed. This patient was supported by the device for 9 days and was successfully transplanted and discharged home. Since 1985 more than 170 patients have been bridged using the Symbion J-7 TAH with more than 70% of these patients being successfully transplanted. The incidence of thromboembolic events has dramatically reduced with better understanding of anticoagulation requirements. Infection continues to be the greatest potential complication with these patients. In spite of this, the pneumatic TAH has proved to be an adequate bridge to transplant device

The metabiotic effects of Fusarium proliferatum, F. avenaceum, and F. oxysporum on Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes in fresh tomatoes were investigated. Tomatoes were preinoculated with the molds and incubated at 15°C for 7 days; then they were inoculated separately with the pathogens, packaged in air and modified atmosphere (5% O2, 30% CO2, and 65% N2), and stored at 4, 8, and 12°C for 9 days. The cell loads of pathogens and lactic acid bacteria and the pH were evaluated periodically. The data were modeled through some different mathematical models to assess the shoulder length, i.e., the time before the beginning of the exponential death phase, the 1-log reduction time (δ), and the pathogen death time (δstand). The preinoculation of tomatoes with the molds enhanced the survival of E. coli O157:H7 by prolonging shoulder length and δ parameters; this effect, however, was not observed for L. monocytogenes. pH values did not undergo significant changes within the storage time, and the lactic acid bacteria increased from 5 to 7 log CFU/g, without significant differences among the storage temperatures or the packaging atmospheres. The results of this research showed that the use of fresh tomatoes colonized by fusaria (even if the contamination is not visible) could increase significantly the risk of outbreaks due to some pathogens that could be on the surface of fruits and vegetables as a result of cross-contamination at home or incorrect postharvest operations.

Abstract Fungus-farming ants cultivate a fungal symbiont inside the nest that serves as a food source. Leaf-cutter ants are distinctive among fungus-farmers because they forage for fresh plant material to nurture the fungus. Here we investigate the foraging ecology of Acromyrmex subterraneus (Forel) in the Brazilian cerrado savanna. We examined the species activity pattern, forage material collected, and the relationship between load mass and forager size. Ant activity peaked at night and was negatively related to temperature but positively related to relative air humidity. The majority of the items collected by ants was plant material: dry and fresh leaves, flowers, and fruits. Trunk trails ranged from 0.7 to 13 m and colony home ranged from 2 to 28 m2, indicating that ants collect material nearby the nest. Total load mass was positively associated with forager size, especially in the case of leaves. The negative relationship between ant size and burden suggests that ants might optimize their delivery rate by collecting lighter substrates more frequently. Given their pest status, most studies on leaf-cutters are undertaken in human-altered environments. Information on A. subterraneus in native cerrado is imperative given the threatened status of this vegetation. Leaf-cutters thrive in disturbed cerrado and severe seedling herbivory may hinder vegetation recovery. Our fieldwork may provide insights for management techniques of Acromyrmex colonies in agroecosystems, as well as for restoration programs of degraded cerrado areas.

The development of various types of plant factories is central to improving agriculture. In one form, it is expanding from the existing commercial plant factories to home cultivation systems or cultivators. The plant cultivation system grafted into the living space for people produces differences in the growth of the plant depending on the lifestyle (cooling and heating, residence time, number of residents, etc.) of the resident. In this study, identical home cultivation systems that automatically adjust environmental conditions (temperature, photoperiod, light, and nutrient solution supply) other than the carbon dioxide level were set in an office and warehouse. The study confirmed how plant growth can differ depending on the amount of carbon dioxide generated by humans occupying the space. In addition, it was confirmed whether the growth of plants can be further promoted depending on the external air exchange speed by a ventilation fan even if the indoor carbon dioxide concentration is the same. Due to the nature of the cultivation system that controls the temperature, the type and speed of the fan were set to minimize heat loss in the cultivator. The airspeed from ventilation fans attached to the indoor cultivation systems of an office and warehouse was adjusted to one of three levels (0.7, 1.0, or 1.3 m·s−1). In this study with two species, Ssamchoo and Romaine, it was confirmed that the office space was significantly advantageous for the growth of Ssamchoo, especially in terms of the fresh weight, root activity, and chlorophyll content. Romaine also had a significantly higher fresh weight when grown in the office. Shoot length, leaf length, and leaf width were longer, and there were more leaves. When comparing the relative yield based on an airspeed of 1.0 m·s−1, the yield increased up to 156.9% more in the office than in the warehouse. The fan airspeed had an important influence on Ssamchoo. The higher the fan airspeed, the greater the yield, root activity, and chlorophyll. However, fan airspeed had no consistent effect on the growth tendencies of Romaine. In conclusion, carbon dioxide produced by humans occupying the space is a significant source of carbon dioxide for plants grown in the home cultivation system, although both the speed of the ventilation fan that can promote growth without heat loss and delayed growth caused by the photorespiration in a carbon dioxide-limited situation require additional experiments.

This research is a preliminary study of planting ornamental plants with a green wall system. This study aims to provide an overview and information about the selection of types of plants that are suitable and commonly used in making green walls and arranging selected plants in green walls system. Green wall system which is often called vertical garden is a technique to plant ornamental plants, vegetables or other types of plants with a free design that considers various resources that allow plants to grow vertically. The advantages of green walls are efficient use of soil, beautifying the environment, adding location value, cleaning the air, lowering temperature, producing oxygen and providing fresh food that is close to the surrounding environment at home. Not all types of plants can be planted vertically. Easy-to-grow plants, short appearance and slow growth are common characteristics used for green walls. The special characters of the selected plants are determined based on the group of indoor or outdoor plants. Consideration of nutritional, light, water and plant requirements will determine the success of planting and the sustainability of vertical planting.

Home automation is an IoT technology that has the ability to communicate between devices. This technology requires a method for making the decision process. Fuzzy logic method is a solution to this problem. Fuzzy Logic is a method that functions to replicate and run human knowledge to control a system. In fuzzy logic algorithm, there are three main processes, which are fuzzification, inference, and defuzzification. Defuzzification process requires a method to obtain the value of crisp solutions. One of the many methods is Mean of Maximum (MoM). MoM is an algorithm that calculates the average of fuzzy conclusions or outputs that have the highest degree. In this research, we apply the MoM method in the defuzzification process to build a smoke emission control system in a room using an exhaust fan. Wemos D1 mini is used as a controller and processor in the system. And using telegram chatbot for communication media between users and the system. There are 27 rules in this system with 100% functionality. This research topic is very useful to keep the air clean and fresh in the room and avoid the dangers of cigarette smoke that can damage health.

he research aim is to reveal the interrelationship between adolescents' sedentary lifestyle, physical inactivity, and health. The research methods include analysis of scientific literature, questionnaire survey, and mathematical statistical analysis of quantitative data. 528 schoolchildren (aged 13 to 14 years) and 520 parents participated in our survey. Most of the adolescents indicated being healthy or completely healthy, however, about half of the children had some health complaints over the last six months: headache, nervous tension, insomnia, dizziness, or weakness. The adolescents' indispositions could be related to the learning load and long periods of sitting, and especially insufficient physical activity in the fresh air. Nearly half of the parent respondents believed their children did not have enough time due to heavy learning loads at school and at home. The majority of the parents indicated that their children spent a lot of time at the computer. The schoolchildren respondents who attended additional private lessons and non-formal education activities were characterised by a higher level of inactivity. Adolescents' physical inactivity is related to the time spent on ICT (computers, TV), the frequency of their choice, and the duration of doing their homework.

After analysing the above answers we can deduct some results, which confirm certain behaviour in girls that can be scientifically explained. A survey helped in establishing ecological consciousness and was a help in characterizing a survival persona. Looking at the answers with inclusion of two different sexes we can follow differences in the views concerning environmental protection, the survey results clearly show a difference in approach to the natural environment depending on the sex. Women more clearly see the beauty, harmony and set order in the environment. Nature astonishes them and is a guarantee of life. Analysing the survey results it is not possible not to see the differences in viewing the natural environment. Quoting Estes we can say that mature woman (surviving woman) looking at a forest sees a home for herself and other people, whilst others looking at the same forest imagine cutting down trees and making money on it.
Clean environment allowing life is like air necessary to live and you can only breathe deeply with clean air. It is similar with woman’s psyche where a mechanism of full breath operates and forces her to breathe in the fresh air. The research results confirmed that girls show more concern about harmony and complexity of the natural world and definitely at every opportunity become protectors of life. So a smaller extend that boys they support technological and technical development, they do not see it as a solution to problems connected with degradation of environment.
If you would like to separate pro environment personality types taking into account these characteristic for boys and girls, based on the performed survey, we can present: Rational type , scientific thinker and technocrat, consumer, which is dominant in boys answers and emotional type, esthetic environmentalist which is dominant within girls answers. Woman can show man how to admire nature, how to develop sensitivity and open ones eyes to new perspectives, whose theoretical author is often he himself. It is women who with their hearts read and introduce into life philosophical life and written theological works whose authors are men.
Woman’s task is activity connected with protecting the wisdom of soul, not to accept abnormal state for normal and to hale the courage to celebrate natural forces with elements of Her soul and life, which a priceless treasure of each woman. When women do not follow their voice when intervening in unacceptable situations her views fade, her nature fades and natural world. Love fades as well as the will to repair the world and harmony with nature, The Word lacks fresh air and water, but also the voice of consciousness. Research I have performed confirmed the thesis I had made and allows to precise the desired personality characteristics, needed to shape a survival personality.

The article is devoted to the study of the problem of transition to hybrid learning in physical education in different countries and possible lessons that Ukraine can learn and implement. It is investigated that for Ukraine the transition to distance learning meant the introduction of digital inequality. 35% of the population simply do not have an Internet connection at home or do not have enough computers or phones to participate in online classes. In the field of physical education, Ukraine has additional critical factors: economic, housing (too small area of apartments in the majority of the population and their unsuitability for sports), climate (3 cold seasons out of 4), infrastructure, bureaucracy (non-recognition by the government of the key role of mobility for the formation of immunity and healthy mind and body). The experience of transition to hybrid learning in physical education of the leading countries of the world – the USA, Germany, China, Great Britain and Norway was analyzed. It was found that even for developed countries, the transition to digital has led to a significant decline (by 30-35%) in physical activity. The claim that outdoor activities are available only to the population of countries with warm climates is refuted. It is proposed to introduce a Scandinavian standard of physical activity for Ukraine, using the potential of its nature – fresh air, sun, joy of movement and interaction in the game.

COVID 19 is undeniably one of the deadliest diseases that humanity has ever seen. It continues to affect the lives and livelihood of people appallingly across the world. Maximum discussions focus towards the apprehension of catching the infection, dwelling in homes, overpopulated nursing homes and shut down of all kinds. But, here let’s discuss the positive side of COVID 19 pandemic.As COVID 19 has spread its influence all over the world, affected countries have either announced lockdown or have implemented severe restrictions in their respective countries. Because of this, everyone dwells in their homes. Thus, exercising social distancing and functioning from home. All of the above is directed at restricting the transmission of coronavirus and expectantly ostracising the fatality from COVID 19. These transformations have also brought about some unanticipated emanations; some good things have come out of the pandemic as well. Positive effects of COVID 19 are seen on reduced road traffic, and road traffic accidents lowered levels of air pollution which has to lead to lowered heart attack rates and rejuvenating environment. Crime rates have fallen, and expenses are reduced in most places. Community action, communication amongst families, behaviour, sanitation, hygiene, online and distance education has positively impacted by COVID 19 pandemic. COVID 19 despite a bane for humans, can be thought of a boon for living beings. The habitats and elements have been purified with the stringent use of petrochemical products. To breathe fresh air and to consume purified water is a boon by itself. Now, it is time for humans to lead a caring life to every bounty bestowed on them by Nature. This thoughtful and considerate life will give hope for a healthy, stress-free life.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has encouraged people to adopt a healthier lifestyle and at the same time carry out a number of environmentally friendly activities such as urban farming. Besides helping to guarantee the food security aspect of urban areas, urban farming also helps create green open spaces. Even so, urban farming also has a negative impact, if it is carried out with a system that is not wise and effective, such as it can cause increased noise pollution, air pollution, flooding, water wastage, and even potential as a breeding ground for mosquitoes that transmit various diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to educate the public about various aspects needed in the implementation of urban farming, one of which is how to implement Integrated Pest Management (Known as PHT). The method used in this activity is the Action Research Method by applying the Participatory Action Program approach from the participants through discussion, and group work in all activities. The results of group discussions at KWT Bunga Matahari, and other urban farming groups in Kekalek and in Ampenan show that the majority of urban farming communities are very interested in developing various types of fresh vegetables and fruit in their yards as part of the Department of Sustainable Food Home Areas (KRPL) program.

Group discussions also revealed that group members became more active during the COVID-19 pandemic, especially during WFH in the early days of the pandemic. They feel the benefits of farming activities in the yard because it really helps meet the family's food needs, especially fresh vegetables. However, most of the target group members are still not familiar with environmentally friendly cultivation techniques, especially in terms of integrated pest management. Although in fact, they are not aware that there are several activities that include PHT, such as monitoring, planting ornamental plants (refugia) around vegetable crops, and mechanical control by directly killing pests that attack their plants

ABSTRACT A recent study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that between 1998 and 2008, leafy greens outbreaks accounted for 22.3% of foodborne outbreaks in the United States. Several studies on the growth of bacteria at different temperatures have been conducted; however, there is a need for the prediction of bacterial growth when leafy greens are transported without temperature control. Food products, when taken out of refrigeration, undergo a temperature change, with the rate of temperature change being proportional to the difference in the temperature of food and its surroundings. The objective of this study was to estimate the growth of Escherichia coli O157:H7, Salmonella enterica, and L. monocytogenes in leafy greens during transportation from retail to home at ambient temperatures ranging from 10 to 40°C for up to 10 h. Experiments were conducted to monitor the temperature increase in fresh spinach taken from refrigeration temperature to ambient temperature. The growth of pathogens was predicted using these changing temperature profiles with the three-phase linear model as a primary model and the square root model as the secondary model. The levels of E. coli O157:H7, S. enterica, and L. monocytogenes increased by 3.12, 2.43, and 3.42 log CFU at 40°C for the 10-h period, respectively, when no lag phase was assumed. If leafy greens are not kept out of refrigeration for more than 3 h, when the air temperature is 40°C or more, pathogen growth should be less than 1 log CFU. These results would assist in developing recommendations for food transportation without refrigeration.

Abstract. The Chinese Spring Festival is one of the most important traditional festivals in China. The peak transport in the Spring Festival season (spring travel rush) provides a unique opportunity for investigating the impact of human activity on air quality in the Chinese megacities. Emission sources are varied and fluctuate greatly before, during and after the Festival. Increased vehicular emissions during the "spring travel rush" before the 2009 Festival resulted in high level pollutants of NOx (270 μg m−3), CO (2572 μg m−3), black carbon (BC) (8.5 μg m−3) and extremely low single scattering albedo of 0.76 in Shanghai, indicating strong, fresh combustion. Organics contributed most to PM2.5, followed by NO3−, NH4+, and SO42−. During the Chinese Lunar New Year's Eve and Day, widespread usage of fireworks caused heavy pollution of extremely high aerosol concentration, scattering coefficient, SO2, and NOx. Due to the "spring travel rush" after the festival, anthropogenic emissions gradually climbed and mirrored corresponding increases in the aerosol components and gaseous pollutants. Secondary inorganic aerosol (SO42−, NO3−, and NH4+) accounted for a dominant fraction of 74% in PM2.5 due to an increase in human activity. There was a greater demand for energy as vast numbers of people using public transportation or driving their own vehicles returned home after the Festival. Factories and constructions sites were operating again. The potential source contribution function (PSCF) analysis illustrated the possible source areas for air pollutants of Shanghai. The effects of regional and long-range transport were both revealed. Five major sources, i.e. natural sources, vehicular emissions, burning of fireworks, industrial and metallurgical emissions, and coal burning were identified using the principle component analysis. The average visibility during the whole study period was less than 6 km. It had been estimated that 50% of the total light extinction was due to the high water vapor in the atmosphere. This study demonstrates that organic aerosol was the largest contributor to aerosol extinction at 47%, followed by sulfate ammonium, nitrate ammonium, and EC at 22%, 14%, and 12%, respectively. Our results indicated the dominant role of traffic-related aerosol species (i.e. organic aerosol, nitrate and EC) on the formation of air pollution, and suggested the importance of controlling vehicle numbers and emissions in mega-cities of China as its population and economy continue to grow.

Full textAbstract:
Phytoremediation of volatile organic compounds in indoor air involves both the plant and microbes in the media; however, removal rate is typically expressed on a leaf area basis. We determined the effect of root media volume on phytoremediation rate of volatile toluene and xylene to determine if there is a change in phytoremediation efficiency. Phytoremediation rate was calculated based on the aboveground space occupied by the plant and on the leaf area. Foliage plants of Fatsia japonica and Draceana fragrans ‘Massangeana’ were grown in different-sized pots (1, 2, 4, 6, and 12 L) that gave aerial plant to root zone volume ratios of 21:1, 21:2, 21:3, and 21:6. Total root volume and root fresh weight increased in D. fragrans with increasing media volume, whereas root density per unit of media volume decreased in both species. The efficiency of volatile toluene and xylene removal by the plants was increased as the root zone volume increased, whereas removal efficiency per unit media volume increased and then decreased. The highest volatile toluene and xylene removal efficiency was at a ratio of 21:3 (aerial plant:root zone volume) in F. japonica and 21:2 in D. fragrans. When phytoremediation efficiency was expressed on a leaf area basis, the phytoremediation rate for toluene and xylene increased progressively for both species with increasing media volume and as root volume increased. Calculating the amount of plant material needed within a home or office to obtain sufficient volatile organic compound (VOC) removal cannot be accurately predicted base solely on a leaf area (LA) or aboveground volume basis.

Full textAbstract:
Carica papaya L. (Caricaceae) is an herbaceous perennial tree crop commonly cultivated for its ripe edible fruit. Locally, the leaf decoction is used for treatment of malaria. This study investigated acute toxicity and sub-acute biosafety of C. papaya aqueous leaf extract on haematological and organ/body weight indices. Matured fresh C. papaya leaves were collected, dried and pulverized before extraction using aqueous decoction technique. The liquid extract was further concentrated to dryness and kept in an air tight bottle until further use. Acute toxicity in mice was appraised according to the method of Lorke, while sub-acute toxicity was determined by assessing haematological and organ/body weight parameters in four groups of Wistar rats pre-treated as follows: Group I (control) received distilled water (ml/kg body weight), while groups II, III and IV were administered single daily doses of 200 mg/kg, 400 mg/kg and 800 mg/kg of the extract for 28 consecutive days. The result from the acute toxicity studies was assessed to be above 5000 mg/kg, while the 28 days sub-acute test revealed that there was no significant difference, P> 0.05, in all haematological parameters and organ/body weight ratios evaluated when compared with the control. This study revealed that orally administered C. papaya aqueous leaf extract was tolerated at a single high dose, LD50 above 5000 mg/kg. Also, repeated administration of the test doses did not adversely interfere with any haematological parameter as well as organ/body weight profiles evaluated. The data obtained tend to support the biosafety of the plant extract as reportedly used in herbal home remedies.

Full textAbstract:
Summary Quality of produce cannot be improved after harvest, only maintained. Postharvest handling depends on the specific conditions of production, season, method of handling, and distance to market. Under organic production, growers harvest and market their produce at or near the peak ripeness more commonly than in many conventional systems. Organic production often includes more specialty varieties whose shelf life and shipping traits are reduced or even inherently poor. Harvesting and handling techniques that minimize injury to the commodity, as well as increased care with field and packinghouse sanitation, (chlorine, ozone, calcium hypochlorite, sodium hypochlorite and chlorine dioxide, acetic acid, peroxyacetic acid, vinegar, ethyl alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, etc.) during postharvest processes are vital components of a postharvest management plan for organic products. Sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, and physical treatments such as heat treatments (as hot water treatment or dips, short hot water rinsing and brushing or hot air) can significantly lower the disease pressure on the harvested commodities. These sanitation practices are very easy to implement in the organic food production chain. They start in the field and continue during harvesting, sorting, packing, and transportation and continue even in the consumer’s home. All those treatments reduce rot development, provide quarantine security, and preserve fruit quality during cold storage and shelf life. In addition, the use chitosan, propolis, methyl jasmonate, essential oils, carnuba wax, biocontrol agents and modified atmosphere packaging can also reduce decay development during prolonged storage. All these treatments can be applied alone or in combination with each other in order to improve decay control after harvest and provide a healthy and safe product to the consumer. The aim of this chapter is to shed more light on the latest information on permitted treatments for organic products and on the possible mode-of-action of these treatments. This chapter summarizes technologies developed over the past five years that explore special physical treatments applied either directly, or in combination with other means to control rot development and insect infestation on fresh produce.

Статья посвящена этническим контактам на Европейском Севере России и их отражению в лексике диалектов Европейского Севера России. Рассматриваются наименования типов поселений, заимствованные из языков местных народов. Лексемы этимологизируются: определяются языки-источники заимствования. Выявляются полиязыковые истоки лексем: представлены разнообразные типы заимствований от финно-угризмов (преимущественно прибалтийско-финского типа) до малочастотных тюркизмов и заимствований из языков Европы. Определяется то, что заимствованные апеллятивные наименования поселений и их частей в говорах Европейского Севера России представляют собой семантически и этимологически пеструю группу слов. Финно-угорские заимствования маркируют идеограмму ʻкуст деревень - несколько поселений, расположенных в тесном соседствеʼ. Только через заимствованные из финно-угорских языков лексемы передается семан- тика ʽпространство вне дома, на свежем воздухеʼ. Обозначения временных жилищ, заброшенных поселений являются исключительно финно-угорскими по происхождению. Идеограммы ʽшалаш, сделанный пастухом из хвойных прутьев для защиты от непогодыʼ, ʽпространство вне дома на свежем воздухеʼ, ʽместо для спанья на воздухеʼ, ʽместо, где находится сторож, сторожевой постʼ маркируются в севернорусских диалектах только лексемами с финно-угорскими корнями, причем источники заимствования многообразны. Для большинства лексем анализируемые значения вторичны либо уже на уровне языка-источника, либо в русском языке. Наиболее частотно развитие значения на основе иной географической семантики: ʽбезлесная гора, возвышенностьʼ, ʽнизина, долинаʼ, ʽугол, сторона, крайʼ. The article is devoted to ethnic contacts in the European North of Russia and their reflection in the vocabulary of dialects of the European North of Russia. Names of types of settlements borrowed from languages of local people are considered. Lexemes are etymologized: languages and sources of borrowing are defined. Polyglot origins of lexemes are revealed: various types of borrowings from Finno-Ugric (mainly Baltic-Finnish type) to low-frequency turkisms and borrowings from European languages are presented. It is defined that the borrowed appellative names of settlements and their parts in dialects of the European North of Russia represent a various group of words semantically and etymologically. Finno-Ugric borrowings mark the ideogram ʽbush villages-several settlements located in close proximityʼ. Only through lexemes borrowed from the Finno-Ugric languages the semantics 'space outside the home, in the fresh air' is transmitted. Designations of temporary dwellings, abandoned settlements are exclusively Finno-Ugric in origin. Ideograms ʽa hut made by a shepherd from coniferous twigs for protection from the weatherʼ, the space outside the house in the fresh airʼ, ʽa place to sleep outdoorsʼ, the place where the guard, the guard postʼ are marked in North Russian dialects only through lexemes with the Finno-Ugric roots, and the sources of borrowing are diverse. For most lexemes, the analyzed meanings are secondary either at the level of the source language or in Russian. The most frequent development of meaning is based on some different geographical semantics: bezlesny mountain, vozvyshennosti, Nizina, Dolina, Ugol, side, cry.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction: Self-isolation during the COVID-19 pandemic is a temporary measure to limit the spread of infection. All citizens arriving from abroad to Russia must comply with the rules of self-isolation. Since April 2, 2020, almost all citizens of the Russian Federation have followed the rules of self-isolation. Also, this month in the Russian capital, Moscow, about 6 million citizens have isolated themselves. In general, in the territory of Russia, the number of citizens on self-isolation reached 100 million. Billions of citizens around the world are staying at home due to the self-isolation regime, so a sanitary assessment must be considered. Self-isolation, characterized by physical inactivity, hypoxia, diet disturbances, lifestyle changes during work / rest, mental stress; this provides an opportunity to identify the presence of public health risk factors and contributes to an increase in the incidence of No Communicable Diseases (NCDs). Purpose of the Study: Carrying out a sanitary-hygienic assessment of COVID-19 self-isolation, determining priority risk factors causing non-infectious diseases, and proposing preventive measures. Objectives: To Identify public health risk factors during self-isolation. To conduct a comprehensive hygienic assessment of self-isolation according to the priority criteria. To develop a pointing system (hygiene index for self-isolation). To propose measures to minimize health risks during self-isolation. Materials and Methods: We used analytical, and systematization approaches. Information from the legal documents of the hygienic-sanitary laws of the Government of the Russian Federation (nutrition hygiene, hygiene of workforce, children, and teenagers). World Health Organization COVID-19 documents. Research Results: We assessed the sanitary-hygienic aspects of self-isolation to identify the leading risk factors on public health, and as a result, we proposed hygienic criteria for self-isolation. We developed a hygienic self-isolation index point score (HSIPS) that considers the Russian law-based requirements for diet, work, rest, and physical activities. Thus, the usage of those hygienic standards is beneficial to prevent public health risks in ordinary and extremely challenging conditions of self-isolation. We proposed measures to minimize risks during self-isolation, and we based them on adequate sanitary-hygienic standards. The main sanitary-hygienic risk factors of self-isolation are: sedentary lifestyle, hypoxia, nutritional deficiencies (malnutrition), and work/rest imbalance. Conclusion: We proposed a sanitary-hygienic definition of self-isolation. We identified leading risk factors for public health of the self-isolated population. We proposed sanitary-hygienic criteria for assessing self-isolation based on the regulations and standards of the Government of the Russian Federation. We developed a hygienic self-isolation index point score (HSIPS), which determines that the optimal mode is directly proportional to the coefficients of a person’s physical activity (D), indoor area (air cubic capacity) per isolated (S), time spent in fresh air (T) and inversely proportional to the calorie intake. We proposed measures to prevent noncommunicable diseases (NCD) for citizens on self-isolation.

Full textAbstract:
Artisan food production, with its unique flavors, is a source of knowledge about sustainable use of natural resources. This is because it reflects the skills of local communities in utilizing these resources (e.g., wild and cultivated plants and autochthonous breeds) under specific environmental conditions for a long period of time. Therefore, the use of local ingredients and the reduction in food miles make traditional food a safer, healthier and more ecofriendly choice for consumers. In the present research, we examined the herbal ingredients in Bulgarian dry-cured meats and discuss their contribution to the flavor and durability of the products. A combination of field data, collected through semi-structured interviews in local communities, and an analysis of the available literature was used to reveal the typicity of 24 artisanal/homemade meat products available mostly in their place of origin. We compared the obtained data to 16 industrial products branded as “traditional”, with 6 of them registered under the European Union quality schemes. The recorded ingredients of plant origin (dry and fresh) belonged to 16 taxa. Most diverse spice mixtures were used in products made of pork meat and in products originating from the southern, and hence warmer, regions of the country. The herbs and spices were combined freely except for Alliums, which were not mixed, and only one species was used per product. Most of the spices used in the artisanal dry meats were sourced from home gardens (some specifically cultivated for that purpose). Those collected from the wild, e.g., Origanum vulgare subp. hirtum (Link) Ietsw., were gathered sustainably in small quantities. The number of spices used in industrial dry meat products was limited to two–three, and was provided by cultivated sources, without exploiting natural populations. Manufacturing of all artisanal products was seasonal to avoid the cold winter weather, a measure which was necessary for the natural air-drying of the meat. The long-lasting effects of the abolishment of artisanal production under Communism, the adaptation of traditional products for industry, and the current challenges and perspectives surrounding artisanal production of meat products were discussed.

The article considers the mode of physical activity of students in conditions of self-isolation and the need to introduce distance learning. Isolation has limited students' daily physical activity, as almost all learning takes place in a distance format, in front of a monitor screen, taking into account physical education classes. Physical activity significantly reduces the risk of viral infections, anxiety levels, and regular exercise improves well-being in chronic diseases, which are mentioned as the most common comorbidities in recent COVID-19 studies. The issue of maintaining motor activity during the period of self-isolation for students is quite acute, as most of the time they study remotely, so the level of motor activity has decreased significantly. We should pay special attention to students with disabilities, ie those who study in SMG groups, as this group of students is most sensitive to the negative effects of hypodynamics. Our study assessed the physical activity of students during the COVID-19 pandemic through a survey. It was found that more than half of the surveyed students perform simple physical exercises for less than 30 minutes in self-isolation. for one day. Only a third of students perform physical activity for more than 60 minutes. for one day. Only 44% of respondents spend more than an hour in the fresh air. By type of physical activity, the largest percentage (52%) is a wellness walk. As for physical activity during the week, 36% of respondents do less than 2 times a week. During quarantine and distance learning, 34% of surveyed students gained weight, 42% did not gain weight, 24% lost. Only 8% of respondents spend less than 5 hours on a computer, and more than 90% spend more than 9 hours on a monitor screen. It is established that the limitations associated with self-isolation have a negative effect on students, so although some of them try to alternate mental and physical activities, performing physical exercises at home, but in general, the level of physical activity of students is quite low. Most cannot set aside special time during the day for physical activity, not only for special exercises, but also for normal daily work.

The case describes the journey of TCS as it became Pakistan’s leading logistics service provider. It highlights how and when TCS acquired different logistics and other value-adding capabilities and how these capabilities, in turn, complimented the diverse logistics services that TCS offered to a wide variety of businesses. TCS had been offering a top-notch Express and Logistics service around Pakistan for 30 years. TCS started as a company providing secure distribution of letters and packages. Customers perceived TCS as a shipping solution provider for all their goods transportation needs which included parcels, documents, E-commerce products and even their groceries. Table 1 of the case study highlights that TCS had taken up some unique and new initiatives. TCS handled four main clientele areas: Corporate, Consumer, International and E-commerce. For consumer wing, TCS oversaw bookings of documents and parcels at the express centres, door-to-door containerized shipments, domestic and international air ticketing, visa application drop box facility for various countries and financial services in the form of insurance plans. On the corporate side, TCS provided warehousing and distribution, digital printing and bulk mail solutions. International and e-commerce both catered consumer and corporate segments. Over the last decade, TCS had established a warehousing and distribution wing and a mail management and printing facility. Other ventures and services that TCS offered were Visatronix, Hazir, Home Movers, E-COM, TCS Aviation, Mail Management System, Warehouse and Distribution, Intiana, Sentiments express and Octra. The case focusses on the decision of whether or not to run an ambitious new logistics service, that is, Hazir SubKuch (HSK), meant to deliver anything non-prohibited that a customer wanted, on a crowdsourcing model. In the proposed crowdsourcing model, after training and evaluation, anyone could assume the role of a customer service provider by connecting to the system remotely. Similarly, pickup and delivery jobs could be performed under an Uber-like model by anyone who owned a ride and had smartphone connectivity. The service was a brainchild of the new CEO, hired by the founder and chairman as part of the new management team to bring a fresh dynamism in the company.
