Promoting Sustainability: Collaborative Governance Pathways for Virtual Water Interactions and Environmental Emissions

This study explores the water consumption and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the Yarkand River Basin, focusing on their dynamic interactions across industrial sectors. Utilizing environmental input–output analysis (IOA), the CROPWAT model, and life cycle assessment (LCA), we quantified the historical evolution of physical and virtual water cycles in relation to the water–carbon nexus. Our findings reveal that the planting industry, particularly the production of export-oriented, water-intensive crops like cotton, significantly contributes to both blue and green water consumption, exacerbating regional water scarcity. The persistent external market demand drives this over-extraction, further strained by the basin’s limited water retention capabilities. Although advancements have been made in reducing the per-unit water footprint of crops, total water consumption continues to rise due to agricultural expansion, intensifying pressure on blue water resources. Additionally, agricultural GHG emissions have surged, driven by increased electricity consumption, heavy fertilizer use, and escalating soil N2O emissions. In light of these challenges, our research underscores the critical need for integrated resource management strategies that align with sustainable development goals. By promoting efficient water allocation within the agricultural sector and diversifying crop structures downstream, we can enhance ecosystem resilience and reduce environmental degradation. Furthermore, the advancement of value-added agricultural processing and the implementation of innovative water conservation technologies are essential for fostering economic sustainability. These strategies not only mitigate the environmental impacts associated with agricultural practices but also strengthen the region’s adaptive capacity in the face of climate change and fluctuating market demands. Our findings contribute to the broader discourse on sustainable agricultural practices, emphasizing the interconnectedness of water management, climate resilience, and economic viability in arid regions.

Comparison of Biohydrogen Production by Tetraselmis subcordiformis During Cultivation Using Soil-Less Agricultural Wastewater and Effluent from Microbial Fuel Cells

The development and implementation of innovative production technologies have a direct influence on the creation of new sources of pollution and types of waste. An example of this is the wastewater from soil-less agriculture and the effluent from microbial fuel cells. An important topic is the development and application of methods for their neutralisation that take into account the assumptions of global environmental policy. The aim of the present study was to determine the possibilities of utilising this type of pollution in the process of autotrophic cultivation of the biohydrogen-producing microalgae Tetraselmis subcordiformis. The highest biomass concentration of 3030 ± 183 mgVS/L and 67.9 ± 3.5 mg chl-a/L was observed when the culture medium was wastewater from soil-less agriculture. The growth rate in the logarithmic growth phase was 270 ± 16 mgVS/L-day and 5.95 ± 0.24 mg chl-a/L-day. In the same scenario, the highest total H2 production of 161 ± 8 mL was also achieved, with an observed H2 production rate of 4.67 ± 0.23 mL/h. Significantly lower effects in terms of biomass production of T. subcordiformis and H2 yield were observed when fermented dairy wastewater from the anode chamber of the microbial fuel cell was added to the culture medium.

A Comprehensive Review on Oleic Acid Vesicles: A Novel Approach to Drug Delivery.

The implementation of several innovative drug delivery technologies has made medication distribution more focused and managed in recent years. These days, a vesicular drug delivery system defines the rate of distribution and the site of action in order to improve the action and increase patient compliance; there are various kinds of newly developed vesicular drug delivery systems, including transferosomes, niosomes, aquasomes, ufasomes, pharmacosomes, and phytosomes. Ufasomes are unsaturated fatty acid vesicles with a limited pH range of 7 to 9. They are a suspension of closed lipid bilayers made of fatty acids and their ionized species. The hydrocarbon tails of fatty acid molecules are oriented toward the membrane's inner core, and their carboxyl groups are in contact with water. The two fatty acids that are most frequently employed in the ufasomes' manufacturing process are oleic and linoleic acids. It is a common practice to produce fatty acid vesicles via the thin film hydration process. The manufacture of stable ufasomes is mostly dependent on the choice of fatty acids, amount of cholesterol, pH range, buffer, etc. This article goes into additional detail regarding unsaturated fatty acids' characteristics, benefits, and drawbacks.

Активизация пластовой микрофлоры для повышения нефтеотдачи

Constant optimization of technological processes of oil production is one of the integral parts of rational subsurface use. The study and implementation of new developments and technologies in the oil production process is primarily due to the economic effect. Methods of increasing oil recovery are of particular interest in the practical implementation of innovative technologies in the oil and gas industry. To date, a huge number of technologies have been developed and tested in field conditions aimed at preserving and increasing the volume of produced products, the classification of which is very diverse. The primary criteria for choosing a method or combination of methods of influencing a productive reservoir in order to increase oil recovery are the geological conditions of the productive horizon, as well as the composition and physico-chemical properties of reservoir fluids. Currently, of all the many methods of increasing oil recovery, the microbiological method is the least studied, as a result of which it is extremely rarely used in enterprises. The relevance of research on the effects of microorganisms on the reservoir rock is beyond doubt. The possibility of widespread application of oil recovery enhancement technology based on bacterial life processes is interesting both from the point of view of environmental safety and economic efficiency. One of the microbiological methods of increasing oil recovery is the activation of the existing reservoir microflora by feeding a nutrient medium into the reservoir. In the course of their vital activity, some types of bacteria are capable of destroying clay rocks, which entails changes in the filtration and capacitance properties of the reservoir rock and, as a result, the volume of products produced increases significantly. The advantage of this method is the absence of the need for forced “contamination” of the reservoir formation, since the necessary bacteria are already in it.

PRINCIPLES OF SIMULATION OF ENERGY-EFFICIENT GRANULATION PROCESSES IN A FLUIDIZED BED

The principles of physical and mathematical modeling of inhomogeneous jet-pulsating fluidization in the self-oscillating mode considering the movement of solid granulated particles on the working surfaces of the gas distributing device are investigated. The research tasks include substantiating the method of interaction between the gas phase and granular solids to ensure the implementation of heterogeneous jet-pulsating fluidization in the self-oscillating mode, experimentally determining hydrodynamic parameters to minimize the risk of stagnant zones on the working surface of the gas distributing device and formulating principles for introducing flat gas jets into orthogonal planes through a gas distribution device. The physical model focuses on creating heterogeneous jet-pulsating fluidization which is based on the formation of heterogeneous porosity in the bed of solids within the apparatus chamber. The study highlights the importance of rationally organizing the interaction mode between the gas phase and solids to ensure active circulation of granular material between 3 main technological zones: humidification, active heat exchange and relaxation. This organization enables sufficient mass transfer along the height of the bed and getting a product with the desired properties. Implementing the proposed modeling principles in equipment development will allow increasing the heat utilization coefficient by more than 60 % and will facilitate the implementation of innovative technology. The research contributes to the development of fluidization technology and its application in granulation at temperatures exceeding the melting point of thermolabile components, ensuring efficient use of resources and energy, and enhancing the environmental safety of technological processes.

Implementation of a digital distress detection system in palliative care: qualitative data on perspectives of a multiprofessional palliative care team

BackgroundDigital health technologies such as sensor systems are intended to support healthcare staff in providing adequate patient care. In the Department of Palliative Medicine (University Medical Center Freiburg), we developed and implemented a noninvasive, bed-based sensor system in a pilot study. The aim was to detect distress in patients who were no longer able to express themselves by monitoring heart and respiratory rates, vocalizations, and movement measurements. The sensor system was intended to supplement standard care, which generally cannot guarantee constant monitoring. As there is a lack of data on how healthcare professionals experience such a techno-digital innovation, the aim of this study was to explore how the multiprofessional palliative care team who piloted the sensor system perceived its potential benefits and limitations, and how they experienced the broader context of healthcare technology and research in palliative care.MethodsWe conducted a qualitative interview study with 20 members of the palliative care team and analyzed the recorded, verbatim transcribed interviews using qualitative content analysis.ResultsThe sensor system was described as easy to use and as helpful support for patients, care staff, and relatives, especially against the backdrop of demographic change. However, it could not replace human interpretation of stress and subsequent treatment decisions: this remained the expertise of the nursing staff. A potential reduction in personnel was expected to be a risk of a digital monitoring system. The special conditions of research and digital health technologies in an end-of-life context also became clear. Specifically, healthcare staff were open to health technologies if they benefited the patient and were compatible with professional nursing and/or palliative care attitudes. Additionally, a patient-protective attitude and possible interprofessional differences in priorities and the resulting challenges for the team became apparent.ConclusionsA potential digital solution for distress monitoring was considered useful by palliative care practitioners. However, interprofessional differences and compatibility with existing palliative care practices need to be considered before implementing such a system. To increase user acceptability, the perspectives of healthcare professionals should be included in the implementation of technological innovations in palliative care.

Technology for Protecting Building Envelopes in Construction Using Magnetron Sputtering

The global environmental agenda is aimed at saving energy resources in all areas of human activity. An important condition for energy saving and increasing energy efficiency is the thermal protection of buildings and structures of all types. Currently, when designing and constructing buildings, structurally oriented solutions are needed to provide conditions for the implementation of modern innovative technologies. At the same time, when producing new thermal insulation (heat-protective) materials, it is necessary to take into account such important issues as environmental friendliness and ensuring a comfortable microclimate. Issues of indoor air exchange are extremely important, especially during the spread of new viral infections. Thermal insulation (thermal protection) of buildings must ensure air circulation, that is, be vapor permeable. Polyester material has this property. Modern technologies make it possible to impart heat-reflecting properties to such materials by applying metallized nanolayers or their compounds to their surface. Among the methods for applying such layers, a special place is occupied by the magnetron sputtering method, which is used in the technology of applying protective coatings to the surface of products made from roll and sheet materials. With the development of applied technological research in the chemical industry, many substances (compounds) were invented, some of which gained such popularity that they began to be used in the production of a huge number of materials, including in the construction industry. One of these substances was polyester as a high-molecular compound, which became widely used in many areas of industry. Polyester material is often combined with other man-made or natural fibers. Among them: cotton, linen, wool, polyamide. As a result, we obtain a canvas (materials) with new characteristics, adding new unique properties, such as strength and wear resistance, does not fade in the sun, and does not require special care. Polyester fabric is used for suspended ceilings and in building materials. Its high density of 250 kg per cubic meter allows this to be done. By combining the production of polyester and cotton, the material acquires the properties of breathability, hygroscopicity and low thermal conductivity. The purpose of this article is to describe the technology of the ion-plasma processing method of combined linen materials with possible application in the construction industry.

This approach to the assessment of environmental and technological projects allows to concentrate government support measures on the general priorities of the implementation of regional economic and industrial policies.

Detecting sources of water leakage in fractured limestone: Case study in Mokattam District, Egypt

ABSTRACT The paper investigates the sources of water leakage in Mokattam, Cairo, Egypt. It is considered a high-risk zone for landslides due to the presence of problematic soil, topography, and water conditions. The objective is to mitigate the negative impact of underground water on landslide disasters. The proposed methodology involves field visits, satellite image processing, Ground Penetration Radar scanning, chemical and isotope analysis of water, and evaluating the water and sanitary networks within the study area. The findings revealed that the underground water is formed because of the continuous leakage from the existing networks. Moreover, there was no evidence of any aquifers, particularly at Ain Mosa floating point. Thus, the accumulated water in the unsaturated zone is not sustainable for long-term development for its limited potential and poor quality. Consequently, immediate action plan is required to assess and upgrade the water and sanitary networks through the implementation of innovative technologies for such hydrogeologic conditions
