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. -

Crassula Peduncularis and C. Saginoides (Crassulaceae), Newly Naturalized in Japan, and Their Genetic Differences from C

Based on their mor- phology, we identified them asCrassula peduncularis and C. saginoides, native to the New World. They closely resemble C. aquatica, which is indigenous to Japan. Here, we describe the morphological distinc- tions among the three species in detail. In addition, we examined genetic differences among the three species based on sequence variations in the nuclear ribosomal ITS region and three chloroplast inter- genic regions. Although C. saginoides was considered to be an inland form of C. aquatica and had been treated as a synonym of C. aquatica, the degree of genetic differentiation was relatively large, suggesting that these two taxa should be considered to be independent species. Key words: Crassula aquatica, Crassula peduncularis, Crassula saginoides, genetic differentiation, morphology, naturalized Crassula L. (Crassulaceae) is a large genus of guished from C. aquatica by the pedicels of the mostly terrestrial succulent plants, but also con- former that tend to elongate in fruit while those of tains annual, aquatic or semi-aquatic species the latter remain less than 1 mm long. -

Estonia’s Divided Border Cities – Co-operation and Conflict Within and beyond the EU Thomas Lundén Boundary Theory Aboundary is a line, usually in space, at which a certain state of affairs is terminated and replaced by another state of affairs. In nature, boundaries mark the separation of different physical states (molecular configurations), e.g. the boundary between water and air at the surface of the sea, between wood and bark in a tree stem, or bark and air in a forest. The boundaries within an organized society are of a different character. Organization means structuration and direction, i.e. individuals and power resources are directed towards a specific, defined goal. This, in turn, requires delimitations of tasks to be done, as well as of the area in which action is to take place. The organization is defined in a competition for hegemony and markets, and with the aid of technology. But this game of definition and authority is, within the limitations prescribed by nature, governed by human beings. -

The Island Monastery of Valaam in Finnish Homeland Tourism: Constructing a “Thirdspace” in the Russian Borderlands
The island monastery of Valaam in Finnish homeland tourism: Constructing a “Thirdspace” in the Russian borderlands MAJA MIKULA Mikula, Maja (2013). The island monastery of Valaam in Finnish homeland tour- ism: Constructing a “Thirdspace” in the Russian borderlands. Fennia 191: 1, pp. 14–24. ISSN 1798-5617. The Orthodox island monastery of Valaam in Russian Karelia is today a popular destination for Finnish tourists visiting Russia’s western borderlands. Many of these tourists are descendants of the Karelians who had evacuated the area fol- lowing World War II. The monastery’s institutionally sanctioned genealogies construct it as the civilizing force, which had brought Christian enlightenment to the local heathen population. This discursive template is played out in the way the place is presented to visitors, with each highlight telling a carefully con- structed story that promotes the monastery’s significance for the Russian reli- gious and national identity. Yet, drawing on lived experience, as well as on popular culture, family lore and meanings from collective memory, the Finnish visitors break the monolithic official discourse and produce a complex “third- space” in their own measure. This paper is based on participant observation and semi-structured interviews conducted during a homeland visit to Ladogan Kare- lia in June 2010.

13-7 Call for Urgent Action Due to Primorsk Port Development Near
Baltic Marine Environment Protection Commission Maritime Working Group MARITIME 19-2019 Lisbon, Portugal, 23-26 September 2019 Document title Call for urgent action due to Primorsk port development near Berezovye Islands Reserve Code 13-7 Category INF Agenda Item 13 – Any other business Submission date 02.09.2019 Submitted by Coalition Clean Baltic Reference Annotations to the Provisional Agenda of HELCOM MARITIME 19-2019 Background On behalf of its Russian member organizations and partners, the Coalition Clean Baltic would like to raise attention and call for HELCOM’s urgent action regarding the alarming situation being reported around the State Natural Reserve ‘Berezovye islands’ on the Gulf of Finland. The authorities of the Leningrad Region have recently signed an investment agreement on the creation of the universal deep-water port Primorsk worth ca 1,3 billion EUR. According to the agreement universal port should be created by 2022, with an annual turnover of about 70 million tons. It will cover an area of 760 ha on the northern coast of the Gulf of Finland. The project includes the construction of a giant port entity for handling coal, mineral fertilizers and other cargo. This project will cause real environmental threat to the Baltic Sea region and pose a danger to human health as the considerable amount of harmful substances like coal and mineral dust will be emitted into atmosphere and water. A vast territory of the coast that was used as a tourist and recreational area will become industrial zone. The construction of the Universal deepwater port Primorsk is planned on the north-east coast of the Gulf of Finland, 40 km from administrative boundary of Saint-Petersburg, 40 km from Vyborg, 55 km from the border with Finland, 4 km from The ‘Berezovye islands’ State Nature Reserve. -
