Green Economy, Circular Economy And Sustainable Economic Development Index: Some Theoretical Analysis From Current Approaches

/in /by

In recent years, research approaches on green growth, green economy and circular economy have attracted both developed and developing countries. The study of how the world approaches in recent years has a practical significance in building indicators of sustainable economic development. Analyzing articles regarding the above issues recommend some lessons for nations, especially in building measuring tool. Firstly, in terms of green growth, increasing renewable products such as wind power, marine microalgae and other fuels may contribute to greening growth and green economy. Building a hierarchical material management system based on principles of circular economy is recommended.

 

Optimization of Surgical Tactics and Results of Surgical Treatment in Colonic Stomas

/in /by

The study included 127 patients with colonic stoma, the causes of which were urgent conditions of non – tumor origin, where it became necessary to perform Hartmann operations (2001–2020). According to the purpose and objectives of the study, the authors conventionally divided into two groups: the control group, which included 73 (57.5%) patients who were subject to retrospective analysis, and the main group, which included 54 (42.5%) patients, where surgical tactics and techniques of operations were optimized. An analysis of the results of colon restoration in the main group showed that a certain decrease in the overall frequency of complications was achieved – 18.5% (in the control group – 38.3%), as well as complications associated with the formation of anastomoses – 7.4% (in the control group – 12, 3%).

Thus, the optimization of surgical tactics in reconstructive and restorative operations and the widespread use of invaginated methods of bell anastomoses in patients with colonic stomas after Hartmann’s operation made it possible to improve the results of surgical treatment.

History of Issue, Epidemiological and Surgical Aspects of Acute Large Bowel Obstruction of Tumoral Genesis

/in /by

The authors in this literature review consider and reveal the history of the issue, epidemiological and surgical aspects of acute obstruction of the colon of tumor genesis. It is noted that patients with colostomy are permanently disabled in acute large bowel obstruction of tumor origin. The presence of a colostomy in these patients often exacerbates the course of comorbidities, thereby making it difficult or excluding the possibility of performing the recovery phase of the operation.

They conclude that today there is still a need for further research and a comprehensive in–depth study of the issues of surgical tactics. The solution of these issues will reduce the frequency of postoperative complications, mortality, improve the performance of labor and social rehabilitation of this contingent of seriously ill patients.

Modeling the Protection of Highways in the Areas of Moving Sands

/in /by

In this article presents the work carried out to protect roads passing through sandy areas from moving sands and recommendations for computer modeling of means of protection from moving sands for the conditions of Uzbekistan. The flow of wind and sand interacts with any type of obstacles installed on the ground, which in turn causes erosion, sand displacement around them, and subsidence on the surface after the wind subsides. This can lead to harmful consequences, such as the loss of functionality of a structure or infrastructure at risk. For example, vehicles and pedestrians could be made more difficult or restricted and could even be dangerous to users in the event of design failures.

PFAS are commonly found pollutants in soil and water bodies. Of all the PFAS that are found, PFOA and PFOS are the most hazardous ones. The review focuses upon Adsorption, Sonochemical Degradation, Photocatalysts, and Bio-remediation as techniques for the removal and degradation of PFA.

Motifs and Colours of Endek Ikat Weaving

/in /by

This research analyzes the motif and colour of endek as one of the Balinese traditional ikat weaving cloth (ikat in Indonesian Language means bind). Endek is produced by tying strands of thread using a non-machine traditional equipment.  The methods used for data collection are observation and in-depth interview. The analysis focuses on the meaning represented on each varied motif and colour. Semantic and Semiotic theories are applied for analysing the meaning of endek motif and colour. Results of the analysis showed that unique and specific motif and colour of endek ikat weaving represented the meaning of appreciating nature, culture, and philosophy. The varied motif and colour can not be argued as the belonging to a certain region in Bali because the various existed motif and colour refer to the same sources like the universe, Hindu Religion, tradition, and culture.  The variety of endek motif and colour cannot neither be recognized as the belonging to a certain designer nor industry. It is because of the motif and colour creation is strongly influenced by how creative an ikat weaving designer is by utilizing the available sources that he or she refers to. Motif and colour creativity of endek ikat weaving is influenced each other among the designer so that there is not any typical motif and colour belongs to a certain ikat weaving industry or region in the meantime imitating activities often occur.

Groundwater Distribution in Urban Settlement

/in /by

Urban cities are noted for technological and economic advancement but are also the convergent localities for poverty, humans’ disparity, environmental degradations and the propagation of communicable diseases. This study examined groundwater distribution in urban settlement with a view to identify and proffer solutions to the associated problems of improper distribution of groundwater in such area. Literature search was employed mainly to unravel the various groundwater distribution techniques and inferences were made on how to improve the distribution techniques. The study reveal springs, sunk wells and boreholes as the main methods of groundwater distribution in urban areas. Urban settlement leads to uncontrollable rise in population which adversely affects the quantity and quality of the groundwater. There is a general decrease in quantity due to overexploitation while the quality degraded as a result of pollution from industrial waste and the people.  In addition, pollution could be linked to saltwater intrusion since most urban regions of the world are in the coastal area. Groundwater distribution could be ameliorated through recharge management employing artificial recharge. Degraded groundwater quality could be treated to the standard of potable water. Protecting  groundwater  resources  amidst  the  prevailing  rapid  urbanization represent  a  considerable  challenge  that  can  lead  to  escalating  costs  of provision  of  drinking  water  in  the  areas  and  cause considerable decrease  in  public  health conditions. Also, as  it  is  technologically  difficult  and  economically  expensive  to  treat  a contaminated  aquifer,  groundwater  protection  measures  must  be  sought beforehand.
