It is described in detail in the article the organic potential of European countries and Ukraine through the prism of specific indicators that characterize it. It is determined that the fullest organic potential of any state is revealed through a system of such indicators: land use in organic farming; number of producers of certified organic products; volumes of retail trade in organic products; volumes of exports and imports of organic products; cost of consumption of organic products per person; the largest importers of state organic products, etc. Based on the constructed complex diagram, which systematically characterizes the organic potential of European countries and, in particular, Ukraine through a set of its main indicators, it is proved that: 1) the most powerful European organic leaders in 2019 are: Austria, France, Germany, Italy and Spain. Collectively, the indicators that characterize their organic potential in 2019 reached, compared to other European countries, high leadership positions; 2) according to statistics, it is determined that in 2019 Sweden for the first time after many years of importing organic grains became their exporter - 116 million euros; 3) it is noted that Ukraine in the system of indicators characterizing its organic potential in 2019, among European countries is a pioneer, where the development of organic farming and organic food production is a strategic task of the state over the next few years. After all, the area of organic land in 2019 exceeded 460 thousand hectares, and the volume of exports of organic products in the same year reached the level of 272 million euros with only 470 state producers of certified organic products. The author proposes his own approach to assessing the effectiveness of organic potential in Ukraine through the prism of specific indicators-characteristics, which is generalized into a single integrated indicator - the taxonomy coefficient. The calculations proved the instability of the taxonomic indicator during the study period, which, according to the author, indicates that the state organic potential and system of organic production in Ukraine is at the stage of formation and development. The analysis allows us to conclude that Ukrainian exporters of organic products are forced to solve a number of problems that hinder the intensification of supply of products from our country to the markets of other countries. Keywords: areas of organic lands, organic potential, consumption of organic products per person, organic products, organic production, organic products market, taxonomic analysis.

The family Gobiidae is the species richest family of fishes in the Mediterranean. The marbled goby, pomatoschistus marmoratus, is a widespread gobiid species with a distribution from the south of Portugal in the eastern Atlantic, along the northern Mediterranean coast to the Black and Azov Seas. It inhabits sandy, inshore, shallow waters and sometimes brackish and hypersaline waters. It was also recorded south of the Aegean Sea along the Levant coast to the Suez Canal in Egypt. Along the southern Mediterranean coast between the Alboran Sea and Suez Canal in Egypt, the species was only confirmed from northern and southern Tunisia. The aim of the present paper is to report the confirmed presence of P. marmoratus from Malta, expanding the known species distribution., peer-reviewed

This paper captures both a historical perspective and the current situation of sustainability communication (SC), the relevance and impact of conceptual and empirical contributions, and the future of SC research. By applying the principles of a meta-narrative systematic literature review, we analyze the concepts, theoretical models, and empirical approaches that researchers use in 116 articles in the field. The main manifestations of SC, including sustainability/green advertising, sustainability reporting, and green-washing, are presented. The analysis reveals a predominant environmental focus on the literature and the dominance of applied communication approaches in SC. We identify several directions that can help advance the field and vision the leading role of the IJA journal in (re)defining and clarifying the concept and integrating the main communication concepts and theories into SC.

Išanalizavus transmisijų konstrukcijų ypatumus ir dažniausiai pasitaikančius gedimus, išsiaiškinta, kad transmisijos yra hidrostatinės, elektrinės, hidromechaninės ir elektromechaninės. Modifikavimo etapai technologiniams sprendimams įgyvendinti yra: problemų identifikavimas, planavimas, nuėmimas ir išmontavimas, remontas arba pakeitimas, surinkimas, patikrinimas ir testavimas, baigimas ir išdavimas Eksperimento gauti rezultatai yra: modifikavus automobilio transmisiją, pakeitus jos tipą, automobilis mieste sunaudoja 1.6 l/100 km ir užmiestyje – 1.1 l/100 km mažiau degalų. Taip pat automobilio mišrios degalų sąnaudos yra 1.3 l/100 km mažesnės. Dėl mažesnių degalų sąnaudų, automobilis po transmisijos modifikavimo yra ekologiškesnis., After analyzing the features of transmission structures and the most common failures, it was found that transmissions are hydrostatic, electric, hydromechanical and electromechanical. The stages of modification to implement technological solutions are: problem identification, planning, removal and disassembly, repair or replacement, assembly, inspection and testing, completion and release The results obtained from the experiment are: after changing the type of the modified car transmission, the car consumes 1.6 l/100 km less fuel in the city and 1.1 l/100 km less in the country. Also, the car's combined fuel consumption is 1.3 l/100 km lower. Due to lower fuel consumption, the car after the transmission modification is more environmentally friendly.

Since the dawn of civilization, the river has been a part of society and settlements have sprung up around it to take advantage of its resources, conduct trade, and for protection. As a result of the accelerating growth of the population, the city is currently becoming denser and new constructions are emerging from it. Thus, the riverfront, which is a part of the city, is becoming a popular location for real estate developments because of its gorgeous perspective. However, the river and riverfront are an integral part of the natural framework, and these developments can harm the ecological aspects of the river and riverfront. In addition, the function and role of the river can also be impacted by developments. This thesis was carried out to provide guidance for the development and to demonstrate that it is possible to promote development in the riverfront while retaining its natural aspects. This thesis is structured into 3 parts, theoretical and empirical research, and experimental design. The theoretical research analyses the river’s role, function, influence on the city, the river as part of the social system and the principles of sustainable riverfront development. Then, the information collected was inducted to produce the hypothetical model of development principles and placemaking of riverfront development. The empirical research made use of various methods of analysis, space syntax, fractal, and sociological surveys to find solutions and factors for designing a successful riverfront development. The empirical research ended with the formulation of the conceptual model of a mix-used riverfront development centre. Following that an experimental design project was carried out to accomplish the research objective and to apply the factors from the conceptual model in practice. Ultimately, to evaluate the project, fractal, green index, and the 7 dimensions of the riverfront development evaluation table that was developed in the research were used and it has been concluded that the project has succeeded in creating a vibrant and ecological riverfront development., Nuo pat civilizacijos aušros upė buvo svarbi visuomenei, o aplink ją kūrėsi gyvenvietės, kad būtų galima pasinaudoti jos teikiamais ištekliais, vykdyti prekybą ir apsisaugoti. Spartėjant gyventojų skaičiaus augimui, miestas tankėja, jame vystomi ir statomi nauji objektai/statiniai. Upės pakrantės, esančios miestų teritorijose, taip pat tampa paklausiomis vietomis nekilnojamojo turto plėtrai dėl savo siūlomų vaizdingų perspektyvų. Tačiau upė ir pakrantė yra neatsiejama gamtinio karkaso dalis, todėl neatsakinga plėtra gali pakenkti upės ir pakrantės ekologiniams aspektams. Be to, plėtra gali nulemti upės funkcijos ir jos vaidmens pokyčius. Šis magistro baigiamasis darbas yra atliktas siekiant pateikti gaires upės pakrantės vystymui, atskleidžiant, kad upės pakrantės plėtra yra galima, kartu išsaugant ir jos gamtinius aspektus. Magistro baigiamąjį darbą sudaro 3 dalys: teorinis, empirinis tyrimai bei eksperimentinis projektas. Teoriniame tyrime analizuojamas upės vaidmuo, jos funkcijos, įtaka miestui, upė kaip socialinės sistemos dalis ir tvarios upės krantinės plėtros principai. Vėliau surinkta informacija indukuojama kuriant hipotetinį upės krantinės plėtros principų ir vietokūros modelį. Empirinio tyrimo metu pasitelkiami įvairūs analizės metodai - erdvės sintaksės, fraktalų ir sociologinės apklausos, siekiant rasti sėkmingos upės krantinės plėtros projektavimo sprendimus. Empirinis tyrimas baigiamas koncepcinio modelio mišrios paskirties upės pakrantinės centro vystymui suformulavimu. Po to vykdomas eksperimentinio projektavimo etapas, kuriuo siekiama įgyvendinti tyrimo tikslą ir praktiškai pritaikyti koncepcinio modelio principus. Galiausiai projekto sprendiniams įvertinti pasitelkiama fraktalinė analizė, žaliojo indekso skaičiavimai ir 7 dimensijos/kriterijai iš tyrimo metu sukurtos upės krantinės plėtros vertinimo lentelės, iš kurios prieinama išvada, kad pasiūlytu vystymo projektu pavyko sukurti gyvybingą ir ekologišką upės pakrantę.

Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn) is cosmopolitan fern, found at varying altitudes on all continents except Antarctica. It is an aggressive colonizer and can appear in various plant communities, but an important characteristic is its ability to dominate in dense patches. Once establish, the deep-set rhizomes are nearly impossible to eradicate. In Croatia, bracken dominate on specific habitat type called “bujadnice” in Lika region, but can also be found in herbaceous layers in following forest communities: As. Betulo-Quercetum; As. Pteridio-Betuletum; As. Potentillo albae-Quercetum pubescentis; As. Castaneo sativae-Fagetum; As. Helleboro nigri-Piceetum. Bracken fern is significant problem for livestock-based extensive agriculture, because it causes a range of syndromes in farm animals including thiamine deficiency, acute hemorrhagic syndrome, bright blindness, enzootic hematuria and upper alimentary carcinoma. Man may consume the toxins of bracken either directly or indirectly. In terms of the economic loss and suffering caused by bracken, it is clearly that some steps must be taken to control distribution of this fern. Timing is important in any management treatment of bracken fern. The most effective time for bracken control is summer just after the new fronds have fully expanded and starch reserves in the rhizome are at their lowest level. Two or more annual treatments and combinations of cutting and herbicide are more effective than single treatments or even single annual treatments., Bujad (Pteridium aquilinum (L.) Kuhn je kozmopolitska paprat, prisutna na različitim nadmorskim visinama svih kontinenata, izuzev Antartike. Biljka je agresivni kolonizator i prisutna je u različitim zajednicama, ali njena osobita karakteristika jest sposobnost da dominira u gustim nakupinama. Nakon što se pojavi na nekom području, dubok sustav rizoma je gotovo nemoguće iskorijeniti. Bujad u Hrvatskoj dominira na specifičnom stanišnom tipu zvanim „bujadnice “u Lici, ali je također prisutna u prizemnom sloju šumskih zajednica As. Betulo-Quercetum; As. Pteridio-Betuletum; As. Potentillo albae-Quercetum pubescentis; As. Castaneo sativae-Fagetum; As. Helleboro nigri-Piceetum. Bujad predstavlja značajan problem u ekstenzivnoj stočarskoj proizvodnji jer kod životinja uzrokuje niz simptoma kao što su deficijencija tiamina, akutni hemorhagični sindrom, sljepoća, enzotična hematurija i karcinom gornjeg gastrointestinalnog trakta. Čovjek također može na direktan i indirektan način konzumirati toksine bujadi. Usljed ekonomskog gubitka i patnji životinja uzrokovanih konzumacijom bujadi, potrebno je poduzeti odgovarajuće mjere za kontrolu populacije bujadi. Pri tome je vrijeme suzbijanja vrlo značajan moment.Najučinkovitije vrijeme suzbijanja bujadi jest u ljeto kada su se nadzemni izdanci potpuno razvili, a rezerve škroba su na najnižoj razini. Dva ili više tretmana suzbijanja bujadi godišnje, po mogućnosti kombinacijom košnje i herbicida su mnogo učinkovitije nego samo jedan pojedinačni ili čak samo jedan puta na godinu.

Vodeni kornjaši ekološka su grupa kukaca koja je, uz ostalo, pokazatelj kvalitete staništa. U Hrvatskoj je još uvijek nedovoljno podataka o mnogim porodicama. Porodica Scirtidae svojom brojnošću često dominira u bentičkim zajednicama tekućica. Ličinka živi u vodi dok odrasli stadij emergira na kopno. Preferiraju lotička staništa sa čistom vodom. Emergencija ove porodice do danas nije nikada sustavno istraživana. Na području Plitvičkih jezera odrasle jedinke su prikupljane mjesečno na tri lokacije u razdoblju od 14 godina. Postavljene su emergencijske klopke na različitim tipovima mikrostaništa. Cilj istraživanja je utvrditi sastav faune porodice Scirtidae, populacijske, fenološke i emergencijske značajke te utjecaj okolišnih čimbenika. Zabilježene su tri svojte: Hydrocyphon novaki, H. deflexicollis i Elodes sp. Rod Hydrocyphon utvrđen je na barijerama, dok je rod Elodes sakupljen na izvoru. Emergencija je sezonalna i traje ljeti. Kod roda Hydrocyphon mužjaci su dominantniji, a omjer se smanjuje u korist ženki prema kraju emergencije. Porodica Scirtidae pozitivno korelira s brzinom strujanja vode i preferira supstrate s mahovinom. Brojnost ovisi o temperaturi vode koja utječe i na obrasce emergencije. Dokazana je povezanost bioloških i ekoloških značajki porodice o okolišnim uvjetima kroz dugo vremensko razdoblje, što ima osobit značaj u vrijeme klimatskih promjena i kao takvo temelj je budućim istraživanjima. Water beetles are an ecological group of insects often used as bioindicators. Nevertheless, they have been poorly studied, especially the family Scirtidae. Scirtids are often dominant in benthic communities because the larval stages are aquatic, while the adults emerge into land. They prefer lotic habitats with clear water. Their emergence has never been studied before. Therefore, in Plitvice Lakes NP, emergence traps were placed at three sites with different microhabitats and sampled monthly for 14 years. The aim was to determine taxonomic, population, phenological, and emergence characteristics of the family and the influence of environmental conditions. Three taxa were identified: Hydrocyphon novaki, H. deflexicollis and Elodes sp. The genus Hydrocyphon is recorded at barriers, while the genus Elodes inhabits spring area. The emergence of the family is seasonal and occurs in summer. The sex ratio of the genus Hydrocyphon is biased to males, but it turns toward to females by the end of the season. Abundance is positively correlated with water velocity and the presence of bryophytes. Water temperature plays a key role in determining emergence patterns. Scirtids are closely related to environmental conditions over a long period of time, which is particularly important in light of serious climate changes.

Jest da se u određenim muzejima poput Prirodoslovnih muzeja širom svijeta već stoljećima može vidjeti bioraznolikost i raskoš prepariranih životinja. Neki muzeji su se odlučili otići u novom smjeru, te su svoja vrata i prostore otvorili živućim životinjama koje će posjetiteljima priuštiti dodatno iskustvo u razgledavanju izložaba ili će muzejskom osoblju biti od pomoći. Uz izlaganje živućih životinja u svojim privremenim ili stalnim postavima muzeja, neki od muzeja i srodnih institucija su se pak odlučili iskoristiti sposobnosti životinja u očuvanju muzejskih izložaka, te su njihovi posebni „zaposlenici“ tako postali dio muzejskog osoblja i služe kao dodatan oblik očuvanja i konzervacije predmeta. Sve navedeno kao i potkrijepljeno primjerima pobliže je analizirano u ovom radu. Ovaj diplomski rad napisan je s ciljem povećavanja svijesti o životinjama koji su dio našeg ekosustava, te njihovoj dobrobiti za ljude u raznim aspektima. Posebna pažnja je posvećena živućim životinjama koje u muzeju stalno obitavaju, kao i povremenim posjetima kućnih ljubimaca, kojima je donedavno pristup bio u potpunosti zabranjen. Potrebe posjetitelja se s vremenom mijenjaju, a muzej je taj koji treba osluškivati njihove potrebe, te u skladu s time prigrliti nove pristupe. Ponajviše radi ljudi čija se svijest lagano mijenja, te sve više teže povezivanju s prirodom, ali i digitalizacije i moderne tehnologije zbog kojih posjet muzeju ponekad nije niti potreban. Given that in certain museums, such as Natural history museums around the world, biodiversity and stuffed animals can be seen for centuries, some museums decided to go in a new and different direction and have opened their doors and spaces to living animals. Temporary or permanently residing in the museum, they offer visitors a different experience in viewing exhibitions or are helpful to the museum staff. In addition to displaying live animals in their temporary or permanent museum settings, some museums and related institutions have decided to use the abilities of animals in the preservation of museum exhibits. In contrast their special "employees" have become part of the museum staff, thus they serve as an additional form of preservation and conservation of museum objects. Everything mentioned, as well as supported by examples, is analyzed in more detail in this paper. This graduation thesis was written to increase awareness of animals that are part of our ecosystem and their welfare for people in various aspects. Special attention is given to living animals that live in the museum daily or are temporarily shown as part of an exhibition. As well as to temporary visits by pets, which until recently, access was utterly prohibited. The needs of visitors change over time, so the museum is the one that should listen to their needs and accordingly embrace new approaches; due to digitization and more modern technology, a visit to the museum is sometimes not even necessary, but also because of a change in the consciousness of people who strive to connect with nature.

Doktorska disertacija izhaja iz naslednjega vprašanja: na kakšen način se arhitektura danes lahko na produktiven način vzpostavlja v odnosu do sodobne družbe? Produktiven način razumemo kot način delovanja arhitekture, ko ta lahko prispeva k oblikovanju boljše družbe. To določajo različne stalno spreminjajoče se družbene discipline, vsaka s svojim problemskim poljem. Nanje lahko pogledamo z različnih zornih kotov in tako poskusimo razumeti kompleksnost sodobne družbe. Kljub njeni kompleksnosti, sodobno družbo uravnava neka specifična logika, ki je lastna (globaliziranemu) neoliberalnemu kapitalizmu, za katerega je značilno, da se vzpostavlja skozi politične, ekonomske, okoljske, humanitarne, zdravstvene in ostale krize. Zanima nas, kakšna bi morala biti vloga arhitekture v sodobni družbeni situaciji, da bi pozitivno doprinesla k družbi in bila s tem kritično relevantna. Z disertacijo kažemo, kako lahko sodobna arhitektura v 21. stoletju deluje avtonomno in s tem aktivno ter kritično soustvarja svoj družbeni kontekst. Delovanje arhitekture na avtonomen način je delovanje znotraj družbe, vendar tako, da se v njej določa sama, torej brez podrejanja obstoječi družbeni realnosti. Drugače rečeno, pri delovanju znotraj družbe gre za razumevanje problematike, ki se jo preartikulira na avtonomen, arhitekturi lasten način. Zaradi tega trdimo, da mora arhitektura izboljševati družbo tako, da se ukvarja s sodobnimi družbenimi problemi. Arhitektura je na ta način že delovala v preteklosti, na primer v obdobju razsvetljenstva in v obdobju modernizma. Takšno delovanje je prekinil neoliberalni kapitalizem, ki je posegel v napredno usmeritev ter delovanje arhitekture. V disertaciji iščemo načine, s katerimi bi arhitektura, tako kot že v 20. stoletju, lahko delovala progresivno tudi danes. Orodja, s katerimi sodobna arhitektura to lahko doseže, opredeljujemo kot razširjene strategije sodobne arhitekture. Sodobni čas lahko razumemo skozi različne vidike, ki ga opredeljujejo. V disertaciji smo se posvetili politični, ekonomski in ekološki problematiki ter jih zaobjeli s tremi vidiki, ki so stične točke med arhitekturo in družbo. Zanima nas arhitekturna reartikulacija teh vidikov. V njej je moč in družbena relevantnost arhitekture. Trije vidiki, ki nas zanimajo, so politični, ekonomsko-družbeni in ekološko tehnični. Znotraj vsakega od njih smo, da bi dokazali praktične implikacije naše teze, poiskali arhitekturne ustvarjalce, ki s svojim delom na posebej produktiven način v svojih projektih (kljub temu, da sicer delujejo univerzalno, znotraj večih vidikov) poudarjeno naslavljajo problematiko po enega izmed treh vidikov, ki smo jih izpostavili. To so arhitekturni biroji Njiric+, Lacaton & Vassal in Ecosistema Urbano. Njiric+ deluje na poudarjeno političen, Lacaton&Vassal na ekonomsko - družben in Ecosistema Urbano na ekološko-tehničen način. Njirićevo politično delovanje temelji na subverziji špekulativnih pristopov zasebnih in javnih naročnikov, ki so se vzpostavili zaradi odsotnosti produktivne državne in mestne politike. Lacaton & Vassal standardni model varčnosti zamenjajo z ekonomskim pristopom, ki s tipološko spremembo in alternativno materialno artikulacijo ustvarja arhitekturo izobilja, ki omogoča in vzpodbuja popolnoma nove modele uporabe. Ecosistema Urbano skozi integracijo okoljske tehnologije in narave ustvarjajo projekte, ki kažejo na novo možno vizijo ekološko integrirane arhitekture. Našteti biroji naslavljajo in se spoprijemajo z opisano tematiko z različnih robnih pozicij. Njiric+ deluje na geopolitičnem obrobju Evrope Lacaton & Vasal in Ecosistema Urbano pa delujejo na obrobju strokovnega zanimanja, saj sicer izhajajo iz močno arhitekturno profiliranih okolij. Trije izbrani biroji delujejo z razširjenimi strategijami 21. stoletja, uporabo katerih smo skozi analizo pokazali na primeru njihovih arhitekturnih projektov. Sodobno arhitekturo vzpostavljajo z razumevanjem sodobnega časa, reartikulacijo političnih, ekonomsko družbenih in ekološko-tehničnih vprašanj. S strategijami, ki smo jih raziskali pri izbranih praksah, smo pokazali, na kakšen način se lahko arhitektura danes, na družbeno kritičen in produktiven način vzpostavlja ter tako sooblikuje 21. stoletje. The doctoral thesis stems from questioning how architecture can actively establish itself in relation to contemporary society. In large part, this is determined by the globalised neoliberal capitalism, establishing itself predominantly through political, economic, environmental, humanitarian, healthcare, and other crises. We are interested in determining the role of our profession in the current environment so as to positively contribute to society, rendering it relevant. With this dissertation, we demonstrate how contemporary architecture in the 21st century works autonomously, thereby actively and critically co-creating its societal context. Architecture functioning autonomously means working within society, but without subordinating itself to the established societal realities. We envision working within society as understanding the scope of the problem, and rearticulating it in an autonomous way, as only architecture can. We therefore state that architecture must enhance society by dealing with current societal issues. Architecture had previously functioned in the aforementioned way, i.e. during the eras of Enlightenment and Modernism. Such workings were interrupted by the flourishing neoliberal capitalism, which put a stop to architecture’s progressive standpoints and agendas. In this dissertation, we search for ways in which architecture, as it had done in the 20th century, could function progressively today. The tools with which contemporary architecture might achieve this are defined as expanded strategies of contemporary architecture. We understand contemporaneity through various points of view that, in turn, define it. Within the dissertation, we discussed the political, economic and ecological points of view and encompassed them with three perspectives that function as junctures between architecture and society. The three points of view we’ll keep in focus are the political, economic-social, and ecological-technical points of view. So as to prove the practical implications of our thesis, we looked for creators of architecture that fit each of those points of view, and that address with their work in an especially productive way the issues highlighted by each of our perspectives. These are the architectural offices Nijric+, Lacaton & Vassal, and Ecosistema Urbano. Njiric+ works in a notably political way, Lacaton & Vassal’s approach is economic-social and Ecosistema Urbano apply an ecological technical point of view. Njirić’s political activity lies in his subversion of speculative approaches to private and public clients that have established themselves in the absence of productive national and municipal politics. Lacaton & Vassal have replaced the standard austere model with an economic approach that takes a typological change and an alternative material articulation to create the architecture of plenty, enabling and encouraging entirely different models of use. Through integrating eco-friendly technology and nature itself, Ecosistema Urbano create projects that demonstrate a new possible vision of an ecologically integrated architecture. The offices address and deal with the described issues from various borderline positions. Njiric+ is active at a geopolitical borderline of Europe while Lacaton & Vassal and Ecosistema Urbano are active at the edges of professional interest, as they otherwise come from architecturally well established environments. The three selected offices work with the expanded strategies of the 21st century, and we have demonstrated their use with their architectural projects. They have established contemporary architecture by understanding our contemporary times and rearticulating political, socioeconomic and ecological-technical questions. By researching these strategies, implemented by selected offices, we demonstrated how architecture today can establish itself in a socially critical and productive way, co-creating the 21st century.

In Indonesia, sea sand mining was introduced in the late 1970s, and one of the sites is Banten Province, Indonesia. Sea sand mining in Banten waters began in 2003 after the issuance of a permit by the Regent of Serang Regency, namely Decree No. 540/Kep.68/Huk/2003, which was updated by the Regional Regulation of Serang Regency No. 2 of 2013 on the Zoning Plan for Coastal and Small Island Areas in Serang Regency for 2013-2033. Studies related to marine sand mining in Banten, Indonesia are required in accordance with the principle of ecosystem sustainability. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of sea sand mining on the ecological quality of coral reefs and hydro-oceanographic hue on Tunda Island. The survey method was used to determine the coral reef cover, while the hydrodynamic aspects were carried out by simulating bathymetric data, tidal and wave patterns. In addition, a simulation of sediment distribution was performed to determine the effects of sea sand mining using MIKE 12 sand transport module. The percentage of coral cover in the west, east and south of Tunda Island was 66.00%, 39.67% and 28.15%, respectively. The maximum sea depth around the study site reached 70 m, while it is relatively shallow in the mining area. In the last 14 years, the prevailing wave height ranged from 0.5-0.75 m or 49.02%, and 0.25-0.50 m or 36.69%. In addition, the concentration of TSS was relatively high, ranging from 40 mg/l to 60 mg/l. From the results, the most commonly observed impact of sea sand mining off Tunda Island was the high concentration of TSS. This can be prevented by rotating TSHD vessels, especially in the areas adjacent to Tunda Island., U Indoneziji je vađenje morskog pijeska uvedeno kasnih 1970-ih, a jedna od za to važnih lokacija je provincija Banten, Indonezija. Vađenje morskog pijeska u vodama Bantena započelo je 2003. godine nakon što je uprava u Serangu izdala dozvolu, točnije Odlukom br. 540/Kep.68/Huk/2003 koja je ažurirana Regionalnom uredbom Seranga br. 2 iz 2013. godine o Planu prostornog uređenja za obalna i mala otočna područja u pokrajini Serang za 2013.-2033. Istraživanja povezana s aktivnostima vađenja morskog pijeska u Bantenu u Indoneziji potrebna su u skladu s načelom održivosti ekosustava. Ova studija ima za cilj analizirati utjecaj vađenja morskog pijeska na ekologiju koraljnog grebena i hidrooceanografiju otoka Tunda. Napravljena je identifikacija pokrova koraljnog grebena, dok su hidrodinamički aspekti provedeni simulacijom batimetrijskih podataka, uzoraka plime i valova. Osim toga, provedena je simulacija distribucije sedimenta kako bi se odredio utjecaj eksploatacije morskog pijeska korištenjem modula za transport pijeska MIKE 21. Postotak koraljnog pokrivača na zapadu, istoku i jugu otoka Tunda bio je 66,00%, 39,67%, odnosno 28,15%. Najveća dubina mora oko lokacije istraživanja dosegla je 70 m, dok je u području vađenja pijeska ona relativno plitka. U posljednjih 14 godina dominantna visina valova kretala se od 0,5-0,75 m ili 49,02% i 0,25-0,50 m ili 36,69%. Nadalje, koncentracija TSS bila je relativno visoka s vrijednošću od 40 mg/l do 60 mg/l. Na temelju rezultata, najveći identificirani utjecaj vađenja morskog pijeska na otoku Tunda bila je visoka koncentracija TSS-a. To se može spriječiti rotiranjem plovila TSHD, posebno u područjima uz otok Tunda.

U današnje vrijeme vlasnici se sve više brinu za zdravlje svojih ljubimaca, stoga veliku pažnju pridaju i njihovoj prehrani. To je dovelo do rasta industrije proizvodnje hrane za ljubimce te velikog broja različitih prehrambenih režima. Sve veća potreba za hranom posebice za ljude ali i životinje, u budućnosti postavlja pitanje održivosti te utjecaja na okoliš. Brojna istraživanja utvrdila su da prehrana koja se temelji na namirnicama biljnog podrijetla dugoročno puno održivija. Resursi poput vode i zemlje troše se u puno manjoj količini te se koristi daleko manje fosilnih goriva u odnosu na proizvodnju namirnica animalnog podrijetla. Navedeni razlozi, ali i etički pristup prema životinjama, dovodi do toga da sve više ljudi prelazi na veganske i vegeterijanske režime prehrane te često imaju slične ideje za svoje ljubimce. Zbog toga na tržištu možemo pronaći sve veći broj vegetarijanskih i veganskih hrana za pse i mačke. U prošlosti se smatralo kako je takva hrana nutritivno nedovoljna te ukoliko se kućni ljubimci hrane na takav način to će eventualno dovesti do nutritivnih deficita. Danas se na tržištu nalazi veliki broj takvih hrana nadopunjenih sa brojnim nutritivnim dodacima za koje se kroz istraživanja dokazalo da su sigurne za ljubimce te će u potpunosti zadovoljiti njihove nutritivne potrebe. Naravno ukoliko se odlučimo na takav režim prehrane bilo bi poželjno voditi ljubimca malo češće kod veterinara kako bi se pratio njegov zdravstveni status.

The modern ecological crisis that today radically affects people and the nature reveals the deeper causes that lie within people themselves. First of all, people no longer understand themselves in the key of creation, they no longer understand themselves and the created world as gifts from the Creator, but are intoxicated with power combined with technology and science in the instrumental-rational key and understand themselves as the sole creators of their own fates. Relying on the hermeneutic key to understanding creation, Pope Francis starts from the Creator and exposes this crucial anthropological fallacy, the price of which has unforeseeable effects on the created reality. The paper points out the fundamental problems and difficulties of the modern ecological crisis, seeking to show that it is actually hidden in the crisis of the humanity. Following the contemplations and ideas that Pope Francis presented in the encyclical Laudato Si’, the paper seeks to highlight the neuralgic points of the contemporary ecological crisis by showing ways out of the labyrinth of anthropological self-sufficiency. The need for and importance of education for environmental awareness, i.e., a responsible, mature and moral approach to created reality, are emphasized. In the final part of the paper, the rapprochement to freedom is highlighted, in line with the human dignity that has its source in God the Creator. Answering the question of why ecological education is important and crucial, the conclusion shows that it is the only right path of authentic humanity that bears the mark of creation in God’s image, and that people are called to act responsibly towards the created reality., Suvremena ekološka kriza koja danas radikalno pogađa čovjeka i prirodu otkriva nam svoje dublje uzroke koji se nalaze u samom čovjeku. Ponajprije, čovjek sebe više ne promatra u ključu stvaranja, ne poima sebe i stvoreni svijet kao Stvoriteljev dar, već – opijen moći koja je združena s tehnikom i znanošću – u instrumentalno-racionalnom ključu sebe uzima kao jedinog tvorca vlastitog udesa. U hermeneutskom ključu razumijevanja stvorenja papa Franjo polazi od Stvoritelja te raskrinkava tu ključnu antropološku zabludu čija cijena ima nesagledive učinke na stvorenu stvarnost. U radu se ukazuje na temeljne probleme i poteškoće suvremene ekološke krize i nastoji pokazati da se ona nalazi u krizi čovjeka. Prateći misli i ideje koje donosi papa Franjo u enciklici Laudato si’, rad ide ističe neuralgične točke suvremene ekološke krize pokazujući puteve izlaska iz labirinta antropološke samodostatnosti. Ukazuje se na potrebu i važnost odgoja ekološke svijesti, dakle na odgovoran, zreo i moralan pristup stvorenoj stvarnosti. Na kraju rada promiče se sloboda koja je u skladu s ljudskim dostojanstvom što svoj izvor ima u Bogu Stvoritelju. Odgovarajući na pitanje zašto je važan i ključan ekološki odgoj zaključuje se da je to jedini ispravan put autentične ljudskosti koja nosi oznaku stvorenosti na Božju sliku i priliku i da je čovjek pozvan na odgovorno djelovanje prema stvorenoj stvarnosti.

Fitoncidais vadinami lakūs junginiai, kuriuos išskiria kvepiantys augalai. Todėl vaistiniai augalai, skleidžiantys stiprų aromatą, dar yra vadinami fitoncidiniais augalais. Manoma, kad tokių augalų skleidžiamas aromatas gali atbaidyti skraidančius ir ropojančius daržo augalų kenkėjus bei turėti įtakos jų populiacijų reguliavimui, o tuo pačiu – gerinti produkcijos kokybę daržininkystės ūkiuose. Naudojant cheminius preparatus, ilgainiui kenkėjai adaptuojasi prie jų, dalis tokių medžiagų lieka augaluose. Be to, cheminių pesticidų naudojimas tiesiogiai susijęs ir su biologinės įvairovės mažėjimu. Lietuvoje dėl įvairių nuomonių skeptiškai žiūrėta į fitoncidinių augalų praktinį taikymą daržo augalų kenkėjų kontrolei. Ypač tai aktualu būtų ekologiniams, biodinaminiams ir kitiems ūkiams, suinteresuotiems gaminti sveikesnę produkciją. Todėl šio tyrimo tikslas – vertinti labiau paplitusių daugiamečių žolinių vaistinių augalų, turinčių fitoncidinių savybių, galimybes panaudoti ir daržovių apsaugai nuo kenkėjų. Straipsnyje pateikiami rezultatai apie vaistinės balzamitos, paprastojo raudonėlio, pipirmėtės ir paprastojo čiobrelio panaudojimo efektyvumą svogūnų, morkų ir kopūstų apsaugai nuo kenkėjiškų vabzdžių., Volatile compounds that fragrant plants exclude are called phytoncides. Therefore, medicinal plants spreading heavy aroma are synonymously called phytoncide plants. It is assumed that aroma of these plants can repel flying and crawling pests of the garden plants and influence regulation of their population, and simultaneously improve the quality of vegetable production. While using chemical preparations the pests adapt to them eventually, besides a part of these substances stay in the plants. Moreover, the use of chemical pesticides is directly related to the protection of biodiversity. In Lithuania there are various skeptical attitudes towards the application of phytoncide plants in practice to control pests of garden plants. It is especially relevant for ecological, biodynamic and other farms interested in healthier production. Consequently,the aim of this study is to assess the possibilities of common perennial herbal medicinal plants with phytoncide characteristics and their feasibility to protect vegetables from the pests. The article presents results on the effectiveness of using Tanacetum balsamitaL., Origanum vulgareL., Mentha piperitaL. and Thymus serpyllumL. for the protection of onions, carrots and cabbage against insect pests

V magistrski nalogi bom s pomočjo koncepta zelene države in teorije okoljskih diskurzov posvetila problematiki onesnaževanja s plastiko. Ker je onesnaževanje s plastiko vseprisotno in bremeni vse ekosisteme na Zemlji, bom v svoji nalogi raziskovala, kako lahko zelena javna sfera in nevladne organizacije vplivajo na spremembo zakonodaje na področju plastike. V sklopu naloge se bom posvetila delovanju nevladnih organizacij ter raziskovala možnosti, ki so jim na voljo in s katerimi lahko vplivajo na spremembo in oblikovanje zakonodaje ter poskušala najti tudi alternativne metode, s katerimi bi se lahko zelena javna sfera in nevladne organizacije aktivneje vključevale v oblikovanje zakonodaje o plastiki na ravni Evropske unije kot tudi na državni ravni v Sloveniji. Skozi pregled dokumentov in ostale dokumentacije bom poskusila ugotoviti tudi, kako uspešne so bile nevladne organizacije s svojimi zakonodajnimi pobudami do zdaj. Delovanje nevladnih organizacij bom povezala s teoretičnim izhodiščem naloge in predstavila, kako teorija deluje na dejanskem primeru plastike. In my master's thesis, I will use the concept of the green state and the theory of environmental discourses to address the issue of plastic pollution. As plastic pollution is ubiquitous and a burden on all ecosystems on Earth, my thesis will explore how the green public sphere and NGOs can influence change in plastic legislation. I will focus on the work of NGOs and explore the options available to them to influence the change and development of legislation, and I will also try to find alternative methods by which the green public sphere and NGOs could be more actively involved in the development of legislation on plastics at the level of the European Union, as well as at the national level in Slovenia. Through a review of documents and other documentation I will also try to find out how successful NGOs have been with their legislative initiatives so far. I will link the work of NGOs to the theoretical background of the thesis and present how the theory works in the actual case of plastics.
