  • Experimental Study of Municipal Solid Waste (Msw) Landfills and Non- Authorized Waste Damps Impact on the Environment
    Linnaeus ECO-TECH ´10 Kalmar, Sweden, November 22-24, 2010 EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW) LANDFILLS AND NON- AUTHORIZED WASTE DAMPS IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT Veronica Tarbaeva Dmitry Delarov Committee on Natural Resources of Leningrad region, Russia ABSTRACT A purpose was an analysis of waste disposal sites existing in the Leningrad region and a choice of facilities potentially suitable for the removal and utilization of greenhouse- and other gases. In order to achieve the purpose in view, data were collected on the arrangement of non-authorized landfills and waste dumps within the Leningrad region. The preliminary visual evaluation and instrumental monitoring were carried out for 10 facilities. The evaluation of greenhouse- and other gas emissions into the atmosphere as well as of ground water pollution near places of waste disposal was performed. A databank was created for waste disposal sites where it could be possible to organize the work on removing and utilizing of greenhouse gas. The conducted examination stated that landfills exert negative influence on the environment in the form of emissions into the atmosphere and impurities penetrating underground and surface water. A volume of greenhouse gas emissions calculated in units of СО2 – equivalent from different projects fluctuates from 63.8 to 8091.4 t in units of СО2 – equivalent. Maximum summarized emissions of greenhouse gases in units of СО2 – equivalent were stated for MSW landfills of the towns of Kirishi, Novaya Ladoga and Slantsy, as well as for MSW landfills near Lepsari residential settlement and the town of Vyborg. KEYWORDS Non-authorized waste dumps, MSW landfills, greenhouse gases, atmospheric air pollution, instrumental monitoring.

  • LONG-TERM CHANGES in the WATER TEMPERATURE of RIVERS in LATVIA Inese Latkovska1,2 # and Elga Apsîte1
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE LATVIAN ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. Section B, Vol. 70 (2016), No. 2 (701), pp. 78–87. DOI: 10.1515/prolas-2016-0013 LONG-TERM CHANGES IN THE WATER TEMPERATURE OF RIVERS IN LATVIA Inese Latkovska1,2 # and Elga Apsîte1 1 Faculty of Geography and Earth Sciences, University of Latvia, Jelgavas iela 1, Rîga LV-1004, LATVIA, e-mail: [email protected] 2 Latvian Environment, Geology, and Meteorology Centre, Maskavas iela 165, Rîga LV-1019, LATVIA # Corresponding author Communicated by Mâris Kïaviòð The study describes the trends of monthly mean water temperature (from May to October) and the annual maximum water temperature of the rivers in Latvia during the time period from 1945 to 2000. The results demonstrated that the mean water temperatures during the monitoring period from May to October were higher in the largest rivers (from 13.6 oC to 16.1 oC) compared to those in the smallest rivers (from 11.5 oC to 15.7 oC). Similar patterns were seen for the maxi- mum water temperature: in large rivers from 22.9 oC to 25.7 oC, and in small rivers from 20.8 oC to 25.8 oC. Generally, lower water temperatures occurred in rivers with a high groundwater inflow rate, for example, in rivers of the Gauja basin, in particular, in the Amata River. Mann-Kendall test results demonstrated that during the monitoring period from May to October, mean water tem- peratures had a positive trend. However, the annual maximum temperature had a negative trend. Key words: water temperature, long-term changes, river, Latvia.

  • Sebezh Has a Railroad Station on the Moscow-Riga Line, 189 Kilometers South of Pskov
    Sebezh has a railroad station on the Moscow-Riga line, 189 kilometers south of Pskov. In 1922 it was still part of Vitehsk province." Peter Kenez University of California, Santa Cruz William B. Husband. Revolution in the Factory: The Birth of the Soviet Textile Industry, 1917-1920. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1990. vii, 227 pp. $45.50 Cdn. Distributed in Canada by Oxford University Press, Don Mills, Ontario. The rank and file workers in the textile industry expressed precise and immanently concrete, if not altogether unpredictable, complaints. At a Nizhnii-Novgorod provincial conference, the workers at the Reshetekhin Factory reported a shortage of fuel and of skilled workers; the Trubanov Factory needed qualified specialists; the food crisis had reduced production significantly at the Molotov Factory and forced workers to desert the Nizhegorod Wool Factory in large numbers to search for food; a typhus epidemic reduced work at the Gorbatov Factory by half; and the Gorbatov and Rastiakin Rope Factories complained about the absence of cultural- educational work. Later reports indicated shortages of cotton had not yet affecf,ed the Medvedov and Danilov Factories, but the Shlikterman had just closed down; fuel shortages severely crippled the Tritskaia and Dubovits Factories, while the Strelkov and the former Tregubov Factories were forced to close their doors. But the problem with studying the work- ing class from the local perspective, specifically the textile workers of the Central Industrial Region, is that this "agenda," with but slight variations, holds true for, say, the fall of 1915 and the spring of 1917; the fall of 1918 and mid-1919; and even for the fall of 1921! As Husband astutely points out in his conclusion, the same 'local interests continued to be identified in 1918-1920 much as they had been against the Imperial and Provisional governments in 1917" (p.
