Abstract:
Aquatic anthropogenic noise is on the rise, with growing concern about its impact on species that are sensitive to low-frequency sounds (e.g. most fish and invertebrates). We investigated whether the reef fish Halichoeres bivittatus living in both noisy and quiet areas had differing levels of baseline stress (measured as whole-body cortisol) and whether they would exhibit a physiological stress response when exposed to boat noise playbacks. While the playback experiments significantly increased cortisol levels in fish from our experiment compared to baseline levels, there were minimal pairwise differences across treatments and no difference in baseline stress for fish living in noisy vs. quiet areas. These results may be explained by low overall auditory sensitivity, habituation to a fairly noisy environment (due to biological sounds), or that boat noise simply may not represent an immediate threat to survival in this species. These findings contrast recent studies that have shown elevated stress responses in fishes when exposed to boat noise and highlights that inter-specific differences must be considered when evaluating potential impacts of anthropogenic noise on marine life.

Abstract:
COVID-19 had an impact on the daily life, human activities, various sectors, and the environment. Accordingly, the aim of this research was to examine the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown (COVID-19 PL) on the environmental parameters. The studied environmental parameters were solid waste, noise, air, water, wastewater (WW), soil and green areas, natural environment and resources, light pollution, radiation pollution, energy and others. The main environmental issues were divided into seventy sub-parameters. Results revealed that COVID-19 PL increased a number of parameters, such as domestic and hospital wastes, noise at home, aquatic life and water quality, domestic WW amount, green areas, animal and birds movement, natural energy, rodents etc.; while, it decreased several factors for instance commercial/industrial solid waste, traffic and outdoor noises, air pollution and particles, water contamination, WW production, cutting trees and hunting, fuel extraction and mining, artificial light and radiation, fuel combustion, tourist etc. Alternatively, some parameters, such as black water, natural radiation, and normal lighting remained as before COVID-19 PL. Positive, nil, and negative impacts of the parameters on the environment due to COVID-19 PL were 81.43 %, 5.71 %, and 12.86 %, respectively. Positive impacts of the COVID-19 PL on the environment were greater than negative influences and lockdown was regarded as a respiration of the natural environment. Currently, prediction of seasonal impact on spreading COVID-19 is difficult.

Abstract:
Increasing attention is being paid to the ecological consequences of underwater noise generated by human activities such as shipping and maritime industries including, but not limited to, oil and gas exploration and extraction, sonar systems, dredging and the construction of offshore renewable energy devices. There is particular concern over the extension of these activities into previously undeveloped areas of the oceans, including Polar Regions and areas of coral reef habitat. Most of the concern by regulators and others has focussed upon effects upon marine mammals and other protected species. However, examining the impacts upon the overall ecology of affected habitats is also important as it may be dominated by effects upon the far larger biomasses of fishes and invertebrates, which do not have the same degree of legal protection. Many of these assessments of the impact of noise on fishes and invertebrates have overlooked important issues, including the sensitivity of a substantial proportion of these species to particle motion rather than sound pressure. Attempts have been made to establish sound exposure criteria setting regulatory limits to the levels of noise in terms of effects upon mortality levels, injury to tissues, hearing abilities, behaviour, and physiology. However, such criteria have almost exclusively been developed for marine mammals. Criteria for fishes and invertebrates have often had to be assumed, or they have been derived from poorly designed and controlled studies. Moreover, the metrics employed to describe sounds from different sources have often been inappropriate, especially for fishes, and invertebrates, as they have been based on sound pressure rather than particle motion. In addition, the sound propagation models employed to assess the distances over which effects might occur have seldom been validated by actual measurements and are especially poor at dealing with transmission under shallow water conditions, close to or within the seabed, or at the surface. Finally, impacts on fish and invertebrate populations are often unknown and remain unassessed. This paper considers the problems of assessing the impact of noise upon fishes and invertebrates and the assessment procedures that need to be implemented to protect these animals and the marine ecosystems of which they form an integral part. The paper also suggests directions for future research and planning that, if implemented, will provide for a far better scientific and regulatory basis for dealing with effects of noise on aquatic life.

Robertina Šebjanič, a Ljubljana artist, describes in this text her research-based artworks dealing with cultural, (bio)political and ecological realities of human imprint on aquatic environments and its consequences and challenges. Based on Paul Celan’s quotation: ‘there are still songs to sing beyond mankind’, the author propose in this article to explore an odyssey of interspecies communication, a way of discovering parameters to restore a deep relationship within all of life and a key to better understanding of the earth’s environment. The Aurelia 1+Hz project is divided in two parts: the performance Aurelia 1+Hz / proto viva sonification looks into a new critical redefinition of social values and new attitude towards cohabitation of interspecies, while the installation Aurelia 1+Hz / proto viva generator deals with the biopolicy of prolonging life. In the project Aquatocene, the artist investigates the phenomenon of underwater noise pollution created by humankind in the seas and oceans. It encourages rethinking the human impact on the (under)water habitats.

Abstract:
Ground vibrations induced by large flood discharge from a dam can damage surrounding buildings and impact the quality of life of local residents. If ground vibrations could be predicted during flood discharge, the ground vibration intensity could be mitigated by controlling or tuning the discharge conditions by, for example, changing the flow rate, changing the opening method of the orifice, and changing the upstream or downstream water level, thereby effectively preventing damage. This study proposes a prediction method with a modified frequency response function (FRF) and applies it to the in situ measured data of Xiangjiaba Dam. A multiple averaged power spectrum FRF (MP-FRF) is derived by analyzing four major factors when the FRF is used: noise, system nonlinearity, spectral leakages, and signal latency. The effects of the two types of vibration source as input are quantified. The impact of noise on the predicted amplitude is corrected based on the characteristics of the measured signal. The proposed method involves four steps: signal denoising, MP-FRF estimation, vibration prediction, and noise correction. The results show that when the vibration source and ground vibrations are broadband signals and two or more bands with relative high energies, the frequency distribution of ground vibration can be predicted with MP-FRF by filtering both the input and output. The amplitude prediction loss caused by filtering can be corrected by adding a constructed white noise signal to the prediction result. Compared with using the signal at multiple vibration sources after superimposed as input, using the main source as input improves the accuracy of the predicted frequency distribution. The proposed method can predict the dominant frequency and the frequency bands with relative high energies of the ground vibration downstream of Xiangjiaba Dam. The predicted amplitude error is 9.26%.

Abstract:
The effect of covid 19 on human health was devastating and the fatality rate was high around the world. World Health Organization declared the outburst of this infectious disease a pandemic situation. To check the rapid dispersal of the COVID-19 virus, most countries of the world enforced quarantine and strict lockdown. The effects of COVID-19 lockdown on environmental health draw the attention of the scientific communities. Therefore, this research paper inspected and narratively reviewed the observed effects of COVID-19 lockdown on the changes in the environmental quality based on secondary research data. The work provides a distinct indication considering the impacts executed by COVID-19 lockdown on the air, water, soil, and noise as typical environment elements. It has been widely reported that the amount of pollution in the air, water, soil, and noise exhibited a significant decline during lockdown period. It has been noticed in different literature that global air quality improved because of less anthropogenic emissions of air contaminants and atmospheric particles. For instance, releases of carbon, nitrogen, sulfur and particulate matter are reduced and ozone layers were reported to being increased. Aquatic life and water ecosystem have also been restored in many countries due to less commercial fishing. Moreover, soil pollution was less due to a significant decrease in solid and water waste dumping. Because of less transportation of vehicles, industrial and other urban activities, sound pollution dropped to a significant level. Clean beaches, transparent seawater, wildlife sightings and free movement of animals and birds were also found in some counties during lockdown. However, these effects of lockdown were temporary, as the world again enters the pre-lockdown situation. Human attitudes must be changed to continue the positive impact on the environment. World policymakers should take the necessary steps to guarantee the steadiness of the positive environmental effects derived from the COVID-19 lockdown.

Abstract:
The outbreak of the novel coronavirus infection, COVID-19 was initiated from the seafood market in Wuhan city of China in December 2019 and within a couple of months it turned out to be a pandemic and global health emergency. Due to increased human activity, transportation, industrialization and urbanization create a detrimental effect on the global environment in terms of air pollution, water pollution, noise pollution, soil pollution, climate change, ozone layer depletion and change of biodiversity and ecosystem. The reduction of air pollution was strongly associated with travel restrictions and industrial shutdown during this pandemic so that on average, the air quality index (AQI) and five air pollutants (PM2.5, PM10, NO2, aerosol and carbon emissions) have decreased. During the ongoing lockdown, nature has started to revive itself. Rare birds and animals have starting to come out of hiding. People residing near Yamuna River in Delhi, India say that the water is cleaner due to the lockdown. The dip in air pollution is leading to clearer skies and migratory birds can fly freely without human interference or threat. It all seems like nature is taking a breath of fresh air with the lack of human activity. The present study discusses the indirect impact of covid-19 pandemic on environment and nature. It also describes the behavioral changes of arial, aquatic and terrestrial life during the lockdown period.

Abstract:
The advantages of low-impact development approaches, such as green walls in an urban environment, are numerous. These systems can be applied for managing stormwater, saving energy consumption, decreasing noise pollution, improving runoff quality, improving life quality, and so forth. Besides, atmospheric water harvesting methods are considered a nonconventional water source. There are many studies about the analysis and advantages of green walls and atmospheric water harvesting conducted separately. However, the use of a combined system that uses fog harvesting in the irrigation of green walls has received less attention in previous studies, and therefore in this research, the feasibility of a novel green wall platform was investigated. At first, the potential of using green walls and atmospheric water harvesting in different climates was analyzed. Then a new combined system was proposed and explained. The study results determined that atmospheric water harvesting can be applied as a source of irrigation for green facilities, particularly in the dry season and in periods with lower precipitation. In the Mediterranean climate, summer fog harvesting yields 1.4–4.6 L/m2/day, and the water consumption of green walls is about 4–8 L/day/m2. This can improve one issue of green walls in an urban environment, which is irrigation in summer. Furthermore, the novel system would protect plants from severe conditions, improve buildings’ thermal behavior by decreasing direct sunlight, and increase conventional green walls’ efficiency and advantages.

Abstract:
Being able to study anatomical structures of wildlife species for science and clinical practice is of great importance. We aimed to describe the normal gross osteology of the common adult capybara Hydrochoerus hydrochaeris (Linnaeus, 1766), using macerated bone specimens and high-resolution digital radiography. The complete axial and appendicular skeleton was further compared with previously reported anatomical findings. For this purpose, we used three adult capybara cadavers (two females and one male), with a mean bodyweight of ±50 kg. Some H. hydrochaeris-specific morphological characteristics, especially in the skull region, show evidence of adaptation to aquatic life, such as an elongated head shape, with eyes, ears, and nose, located dorsally, to stay above water. Additionally, the entire bone structure demonstrates the size and weight support of the largest rodent and its adaptation with respect to foraging and locomotion behaviors. As a semi-aquatic herbivore, classified as cursorial (having limbs adapted for running), the authors believe it should be reclassified as cursorial-swimming/diving. Moreover, we argue to consider a differentiation between H. hydrochaeris silvestris to H. hydrochaeris synanthrope, due to substantial weight variation, in some cases > 100%. This inevitably has an impact on the development of bone structure, thus influencing habitual adaptation, and consequently, its clinical implications and animal handling. Radiography exams helped in the identification of bone structures, which otherwise were not observed in anatomical specimens, such as ossa sesamoidea, including the ossicle lunulae. Likewise, the radiographs were particularly helpful in overall better comprehension of the intubation and catheterization procedures. We believe this work can contribute as a reference to anatomical studies for students and professionals acting in clinic, surgery, and research.

Abstract:
2012/2013
Sotto la superficie del mare il suono svolge un ruolo fondamentale nella vita di molti organismi marini, in quanto fornisce una visuale in tre dimensioni dello spazio circostante il singolo individuo, che si estende spesso ben oltre quello fornito dagli altri sensi. L’introduzione da parte dell’uomo di diverse tipologie di rumori in questo ambiente, quindi, desta sempre maggiori preoccupazioni, poiché qualsiasi cosa alteri la capacità di individuare e analizzare il panorama acustico circostante può interferire negativamente con la comunicazione, il comportamento, la fitness e, in termini generali, con la sopravvivenza delle specie. La posizione strategica occupata dal golfo di Trieste, un bacino di acque relativamente poco profonde situato nel Nord Adriatico, unitamente alle caratteristiche geomorfologiche delle sue coste, fanno sì che qui possano svilupparsi molteplici attività che dipendono fortemente dal mare, come quella mercantile, alieutica e diportistica. Considerata la facilità di propagazione dell’onda sonora nell’acqua e tenendo conto che il rumore non conosce “barriere” giurisdizionali, le specie che vivono in esso saranno inevitabilmente sottoposte a pressioni di diversa portata, sia di tipo diffuso che puntuale. Nonostante la Comunità Europea, grazie alla Direttiva 2008/56/CE (Direttiva Quadro per l’ambiente marino, Marine Strategy Framework Directive, MSFD)cerchi di fornire gli strumenti per far fronte a questa preoccupante problematica che insiste sulle risorse marine, si sa ancora molto poco sulla distribuzione spaziale e temporale del rumore antropico subacqueo, sia nel golfo di Trieste che in Italia. Il presente lavoro di ricerca, svolto in collaborazione con l’Agenzia Regionale per la Protezione dell’Ambiente del Friuli Venezia Giulia (ARPA FVG),si è posto il fine di colmare le lacune conoscitive in tale ambito ed ha voluto dare 1) un quadro dettagliato della distribuzione annuale del rumore antropico subacqueo in tutto il golfo di Trieste, 2) individuare, grazie ad esso, in termini spazio-temporali, eventuali aree di “sofferenza acustica” per la fauna marina normalmente presente nell’area e, infine, 3) valutare, tramite l’utilizzo di un modello di propagazione del rumore, le modalità sito-specifiche di propagazione del rumore, simulando scenari a diverse frequenze e in diverse stagioni dell’anno. A tal fine il rumore ambientale subacqueo è stato registrato mensilmente da gennaio a dicembre 2012 in 12 stazioni collocate in posizioni strategiche nel golfo di Trieste, valutando contemporaneamente anche il numero di navi, imbarcazioni e natanti presenti al momento della registrazione. La perdita in trasmissione del suono e stata calcolata utilizzando la Parabolic Equation, risolta col modello di propagazione acustica Miami Monterey Parabolic Equation(MMPE). I risultati evidenziano un’assenza di variabilità tra il clima acustico estivo e quello invernale, con un’intensità media è pari a 125 dB re 1 µPa e con picchi di massima intensità in prossimità del porto di Trieste e della zona al largo di Lignano; le intensità medie delle bande di 1/3 di ottava centrate sui 63 e 125 Hz, invece, sono sempre inferiori ai 100 dB re 1 µPa. A livello spaziale la zona caratterizzata dai va-lori di minore intensità è posizionata nella parte occidentale del golfo. La frequentazione antropica è in gran parte a carico del naviglio mercantile e dei natanti da diporto di piccole dimensioni. Esaminando l’andamento nella stagione estiva e in quella invernale, non è possibile rilevare differenze significative nelle diverse tipologie considerate, fatto che sembra giustificare l’assenza di variazione stagionale del clima acustico. A livello spaziale, nelle tre zone considerate, sia annualmente che d’inverno, si notano differenze significative solo nel numero delle imbarcazioni da pesca. In generale, le grandi navi sono quelle che danno il maggior apporto al rumore ambientale locale. I Gadidae, Clupeiformes e Sciaenidae, nelle zone orientali e centrali del golfo di Trieste, sono gli organismi sottoposti al maggior superamento, da parte del rumore di fondo, della rispettiva soglia acustica. Le differenze maggiori si riscontrano per lo più tra i 200 ed i 300 Hz circa, dove si colloca la maggior sensibilità uditiva di molte specie. Proprio in questo range di frequenze il modello MMPE indica la minima perdita in propagazione dell’onda sonora, che può raggiungere anche i 20 km di distanza dalla sorgente. Il modello ha permesso di evidenziare, quindi, che nelle vicinanze di forti sorgenti di rumore potrebbero aver luogo reazioni di tipo comportamentale e, che, per avere quadro più esaustivo, sarebbe consigliato monitorare altre frequenze oltre alle 63 e 125 Hz attualmente proposte. I risultati di questa ricerca, prima in Adriatico su scala spazio-temporale così ampia, hanno fornito una dettagliata analisi delle pressioni, dei potenziali impatti predominanti nell’area e delle condizioni di clima acustico in cui versa il golfo di Trieste. Per rispondere alle richieste della MSFD, i valori di intensità rilevati non possono escludere che siano a livelli tali da non avere effetti negativi sull’ambiente marino: possono verificarsi, infatti, effetti di tipo fisiologico-stressorio a livello del singolo organismo, e di interferenza nella comunicazione nelle specie che utilizzano il suono come strumento di trasferimento di informazione intra e interspecifico. Si ritiene che i valori di riferimento proposti in questo lavoro, in un’ottica precauzionale, siano un valido contributo iniziale per la determinazione dello stato ecologico dell’area. L’attuale prosecuzione dell’attività di monitoraggio del rumore sottomarino condotta da ARPA FVG, da affiancare in futuro a sistemi di acquisizione in continuo ed all’analisi di altre componenti del fenomeno acustico, quali il movimento delle particelle, permetterà sicuramente di ampliare, unitamente ad un confronto con le realtà transfrontaliere, le conoscenze sul rumore antropico. Ciò permetterà di regolamentare, anche da un punto di vista giuridico, l’introduzione del suono sotto la superficie del mare e di raggiungere gli obiettivi della MSFD previsti entro il 2020.
Under the sea surface sound plays a vital role for many marine organisms, as it provides a visual three-dimensional space surrounding the individual, which is often extends beyond that provided by other senses. Introduction by humans of different types of noise in this environment, therefore, affects the ability to identify and analyze the landscape surrounding noise may cause harmful interference with communication, behavior, fitness and, in general terms, with the species’ survival. The strategic position of Trieste Gulf, a shallow water coastal zone located inthe Northern Adriatic Sea, together with the geomorphological characteristics of its coasts, can develop a variety of activities that are highly dependent on the sea, like the merchant , fishing and pleasure boating. Given the ease of propagation of the sound wave in the water and taking into account that the noise does not know jurisdictionalbarriers, the species that live in it will inevitably be subjected to pressures of different scales ,both of which diffuse on time. Despite the European Union, thanks to 2008/56/EC Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD ) seeks to provide the tools to cope with this troubling issue that insists on marine resources , is not yet known very little about the spatial and temporal distribution of anthropogenic underwater noise , both in the Gulf of Trieste in Italy. This research work was performed in collaboration with the Regional Agency for Environmental Protection of Friuli Venezia Giulia (ARPA FVG), place the order to fill gaps in knowledge in this area and wanted to give 1 ) a framework detailed annual distribution of background underwater noise in the Gulf of Trieste , 2 ) to identify, thanks to it, in terms of space and time, any areas of suffering acoustic for marine life normally present in the area and, finally,3 ) to assess, through the use of a model of noise propagation, the site-specific mode of propagation of noise, simulating scenarios at different frequencies and in different seasons of the year. Underwater ambient noise was recorded monthly from January to December 2012 at 12 stations placed at strategic locations in the Gulf of Trieste; at the same time total amount of ships, boats and vessels present at the time of registration were counted. Transmission loss was calculated using the Parabolic Equation, solved with the model of acoustic propagation Monterey Miami Parabolic Equation (MMPE). Results show an absence of the noise climate variability between summer and winter, with an average intensity level equals to 125 dB re 1 Pa and a maximum in the vicinity of the port of Trieste and the area off the coast of Lignano; the average intensities of the bands in 1/3 octave band centered on 63 and 125 Hz, however, are always less than 100 dB re 1 Pa. A spatially area characterized by the values of lower intensity is located in the western part of the Gulf. The attendance is largely anthropogenic load of merchant ships and small recreational boat. Looking at the summer and winter trend, it is not possible to detect significant differences in the various types considered, which seems to justify the absence of seasonal variation of the noise climate. In terms of space, in the three areas considered, both annual and winter, significant differences are noted only in the number of fishing vessels. In general, large ships are the ones that make the greatest contribution to local environmental noise. The Gadidae, Clupeiformes and Sciaenidae, in the eastern and central parts of the Gulf of Trieste, are the organisms subjected to the most overrun by the background noise of the respective acoustic threshold. The largest differences are found mostly between about 200 and 300 Hz, where does the greater auditory sensitivity of many species. In this frequency range MMPE model indicates minimal loss in sound propagation, which can reach up to 20 km away from the source. The model has allowed to show, therefore, that in the vicinity of strong noise sources could take place, and behavioral reactions, which, in order to have more complete picture, it would be advisable to monitor other frequencies in addition to the 63 and 125 Hz currently proposed. The results of this research, first in the Adriatic Sea onspatio-temporal scale so large, they have provided a detailed analysis of the pressures, the potential impacts of the conditions prevailing in the area and of the acoustic climate prevailing in the Gulf of Trieste. To meet the requirements of the MSFD, the intensity values measured cannot rule out that they are at levels that do not have adverse effects on the marine environment can occur, in fact, the effects of physiological stressorio - level of the individual organism, and interference in communication in species that use sound as a tool for intra-and interspecies transfer of information. It is believed that the reference values proposed in this work, from a precautionary measure, are a valuable contribution to the initial determination of the ecological status of the area. The current continuation of the monitoring of the underwater noise conducted by ARPA FVG, alongside in future systems of continuous acquisition and analysis of other components of the acoustic phenomenon, such as the movement of particles, will certainly broaden , together with a comparison with the realities of cross border knowledge about man-made noise. This will allow you to regulate, even from a legal point of view, the introduction of sound in the sea surface and to achieve the objectives of the MSFD expected by 2020.

A test protocol was evaluated for estimating the acute toxicity of urban stormwater runoff to aquatic life. Potential deleterious effects of storm flows on the aquatic community of small artificial impoundments were examined by application of short-term bioassays. Definitive, static renewal, acute toxicity tests were performed using the fathead minnow, Pimephales promelas, and the crustacean, Daphnia magna. The feasibility study indicated that short-term bioassays may provide an alternative to individual chemical constituent measurements and comparisons to numerical water quality criteria for protection of aquatic life. Biotoxicity tests may identify synergistic interactions to chemicals which individually meet specific water quality criteria but collectively lead to toxicity.

Abstract:
The distribution of heavy metals between soil and soil solutions is a key issue in evaluating the environmental impact of long term applications of heavy metals to land. Contamination of soils by heavy metals has been reported by many workers. Metal adsorption is affected by many factors, including soil pH, clay mineralogy, abundance of oxides and organic matter, soil composition and solution ionic strength. The pH is one of the many factors affecting mobility of heavy metals in soils and it is likely to be the most easily managed and the most significant. To provide the appropriate level of protection for aquatic life and other uses of the resource, it is important to be able to predict the environmental distribution of important metals on spatial and temporal scales and to do so with particular emphasis on the water column concentrations. Regulatory levels reflected in water quality criteria or standards are based on water column concentrations. Predicting water column concentrations requires a consideration of the interactions of water column contaminants with both bed sediments and suspended particulates as critical components in the assessment. The adsorption behaviour of cadmium, copper, lead and zinc onto soils is studied under the various geo-environmental conditions of pH, concentration of adsorbate and adsorbent, and solution compositions. Experiments were conducted to determine the equilibrium contact time of various adsorbates for adsorbent in different systems. Experiments were also conducted to check the efficiency of various acid-mixtures to extract heavy metal from soils into the aqueous phase. The adsorption behaviour of heavy metals onto soils was also studied from sea-water system. Soils are characterized in terms of the role of clay minerals to remove the metals from the solution phase, back-ground levels of metals, maximum adsorption capacity to adsorb various heavy metals from different adsorption systems, and type of surface sites present. The experimental data of metal adsorption is described by Langmuir adsorption model. The adsorption data are also expressed in terms of surface loading, surface acidity, adsorption density, and affinity of soils for heavy metals in different adsorption systems. Ecological implications of changes in physical and chemical conditions in aquatic systems on heavy metals uptake by soils are also discussed. This research covers the following areas: the environmental impact of heavy metal discharge into the aquatic systems, the study of the mobility patterns of different heavy metals as function of geo-environmental conditions, and determination of the pathways and the ultimate fate of heavy metals in the environment.

SUMMARY Public Health Management MANAGEMENT OF MOTORWAY TRANSPORT–GENERATED NOISE IMPACT ON HEALTH AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN LITHUANIA Žibutė Chmieliauskienė Scientific work supervisor Prof., Dr. Habil. Žilvinas Padaiga Kaunas University of Medicine, Faculty of Public Health, Department of Social Medicine. Kaunas, 2005.- 100p. Aim of the study – to investigate the process of managing transport-generated noise impact on human health and quality of life in Lithuania. Objectives: 1) to generalize investigations of managing motorway transport-generated noise identification, impact on human health and quality of life, 2) to assess the impact of the motorway AI Vilnius- Kaunas on the health of local residents and the effects on quality of life, 3) to give recommendations for the management and control of motorway-generated noise. Expected results: Justification of the management of transport-generated noise impact on human health. Methods of investigation. In order to assess motorway transport-generated noise impact on human health and quality of life the motorway AI (IX B) Vilnius – Kaunas was selected and the neighboring residential farmsteads. In each noise level zone at the interval of 5 dBA the residential farmsteads were identified: 1) respondents, living within the zone of the increased traffic noise ≥55dBA (in a day time), and 2) respondents, living within the zone of permissible traffic noise <55dBA (control group). The questionnaire inquiry was carried out, the total... [to full text]

Abstract:
The muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus) is a common, semi-aquatic rodent native to the United States. It spends its life in aquatic habitats and is well adapted for swimming. Although muskrats are an important part of native ecosystems, their burrowing and foraging activities can damage agricultural crops, native marshes and water control systems, such as aquaculture and farm ponds and levees. Such damage can significantly impact agricultural crops like rice that rely on consistent water levels for growth. Laws, regulations, and ordinances regarding the take of muskrats varies by state and province where they are found and regulations on seasons, bag limits, and type of traps or devices that can be used to take them must be carefully followed.
