Commercial direct dyes are frequently employed in the dyeing of Jumputan, a traditional craft originating from South Sumatra, Indonesia. The introduction of synthetic dyes into the environment can have a detrimental impact on ecosystem stability, necessitating the implementation of remedial measures. There has been a growing interest in the utilization of White Rot Fungi (WRF) as a viable biological agent for the purpose of decolorizing and detoxifying synthetic colors. However, it is imperative to investigate the isolated WRF from Berbak-Sembilang National Park (TNBS) due to the varying capacities of decolorization and detoxification exhibited by each WRF. The study involved 5 WRF from TNBS screened in solid media, and grown in a liquid medium containing commercial direct dyes (direct turquoise, direct orange and direct yellow). WRF grown on liquid medium contains a single dye, mixture dyes and temperature characterization. It measured decolorization, biomass and enzyme activities. Toxicity is measured by the BSLT method. The findings indicated that 3 specific fungi, namely Phellinus noxius (BRB 11), Lentinus sajor-caju (BRB 12) and Leotrametes menziesii (BRB 73), exhibited a significant capacity to remove the color from both individual and mixture of direct dyes through the production of laccase and MnP enzymes. The optimal temperature for decolorization of the mixture of direct dyes was 35 °C for BRB 11 (61.4 %) and BRB 73 (60.7 %), whereas BRB 12 (47.4 %) exhibited optimal temperature at 30 °C. The toxicity assay conducted using A. salina showed a progressive rise in the LC50 value, from 15.37 mgL−1 in the control group to a range of 21.63 - 35.84 mgL−1 in the treated group, indicating a detoxification process. However, the most toxic isolate was BRB 12. This study proposes the potential of 2 isolates, Phellinus noxius (BRB 11) and Leotrametes menziesii BRB 73, from TNBS for degradation of single and mixture dye wastewater in the environment. HIGHLIGHTS The discovery of 3 White Rot Fungi from TNBS (Indonesia) has the ability to remove color and reduce the level of toxicity of commercial direct dyes, both individual and mixture of commercial direct dyes. Uncovering one of White Rot Fungi has not been widely published for decolorization and detoxification commercial direct dyes, namely Leotrametes menziesii (BRB 73). The optimal temperature was 35 °C for decolorization of commercial direct dyes by Phellinus noxius (BRB 11) and Leotrametes menziesii (BRB 73) GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

We studied the environment for telemedicine in the Canary Islands. The population's attitude to telemedicine was surveyed in 503 questionnaire interviews with doctors, nurses, paramedical staff and patients on the seven islands. Almost half the respondents 46-50 across groups had a positive opinion of telemedicine. We also collected data about telephone medicine. A total of 479 medical-support telephone calls were made to four doctors, in psychiatry, ophthalmology and paediatrics. The telephone calls resolved the problem in 73 of cases and 86 would have come to the doctor if not made. Therapy was prescribed in 11 and 10 were just for information. The number of telephone calls per day was highest in psychiatry. Finally, we carried out a detailed analysis of the number of transfers between the islands 14,942 people in 1995 and 22,418 in 1996 . According to the number of transfers and location of the referral hospital, oncology, psychiatry, dermatology and traumatology were the specialties that would be most likely to benefit from telemedicine.

Abstract. The potentiality of crowds, in terms of possibilities for achieving a livelihood in the big and dense cities, gains centre stage in contemporary urban studies dealing with the global South. These emergent effects of crowds act as dissociation of further work in urban theory from the global North that often displays a universalistic claim. However, contemporary urban theory both from the global South and North has astonishing less to say about internal processes of crowds that could be interpreted as emerging effects. The paper analyses the work on crowds by Peter Sloterdijk and the performative theory of assembly by Judith Butler in terms of theoretical possibilities to enrich contemporary thinking on urbanity in the South. The paper accentuates two important arguments for urban theory that could be fit into existing work in the field. Sloterdijk emphasises the “affective synthesis” of crowds and the build environment as an important mechanism of interaction between crowds and urbanity, whereas Butler elaborates the performative effect of crowds to articulate the right of owning attested rights.

The Principal determination of the study was to fix the extent of environmental sentience among the different classes of industrial workers. A hundred ten workers were selected through purposive sampling technique from several industries in the region of Tangail district, Bangladesh. Among the selected workers, the female respondents were 37 in number and rests of the 73 were male. The workers were asked questions to appraise their level of understanding considering environment, environmental issues, and their persuasion to solve the different environmental problems. The determinations disclosed that, majority (91.8%) of the workers have approximately general conception about environment, idea about pollution of environmental constituents, Global warming and climate change awareness. From the view of most (85.5%) of the workers, the country is most vulnerable due to environmental pollution and not executing competent rules and ordinance along with public awareness.

PurposeThe work environment is known to influence professional attitudes toward quality and safety. This study sought to measure these attitudes amongst health professionals working in New Zealand District Health Boards (DHBs), initially in 2012 and again in 2017.Design/methodology/approachThree questions were included in a national New Zealand health professional workforce survey conducted in 2012 and again in 2017. All registered health professionals employed with DHBs were invited to participate in an online survey. Areas of interest included teamwork amongst professionals; involvement of patients and families in efforts to improve patient care and ease of speaking up when a problem with patient care is perceived.FindingsIn 2012, 57% of respondents (58% in 2017) agreed health professionals worked as a team; 71% respondents (73% in 2017) agreed health professionals involved patients and families in efforts to improve patient care and 69% (65% in 2017) agreed it was easy to speak up in their clinical area, with none of these changes being statistically significant. There were some response differences by respondent characteristics.Practical implicationsWith no change over time, there is a demand for improvement. Also for leadership in policy, management and amongst health professionals if goals of improving quality and safety are to be delivered upon.Originality/valueThis study provides a simple three-question method of probing perceptions of quality and safety and an important set of insights into progress in New Zealand DHBs.

Social environment of a person has a significant impact on criminalization of a person . Scientific literature analyzes the criminogenic influence of its individual participants — family members and relatives, members of informal groups and communities . Consequently, its structural organization, key functions of relations with social environment, possibilities of their change for decriminalization and post-penitentiary reintegration are unclear . Objective of the study: to examine relationship of a criminogenic person with social environment . Methods: method of data collection is a survey . Parameters of social environment that are studied: volume, stability, homogeneity, limitations of autonomy and reference; studied characteristics of interaction: received support and assistance, effectiveness of interaction, influence . The methods of processing results are descriptive statistics and rank comparison criterion (Mann-Whitney U-criterion) .The study sample consists of 388 people, 171 of whom are classified as persons with law-abiding behavior (Mean age — 36,3 years, SD — 12,3 years; men — 77 %) . The remaining part is made up of persons under administrative supervision, of whom 114 persons were under criminal punishment for the first time (Mean age — 31 .5 years, SD — 8 .42 years; men — 84 %); 103 persons who had been previously subjected to criminal punishment (Mean age — 37 .7 years, SD — 11 .13 years; men — 73 %) .Results and novelty: new information was obtained about parameters of social environment of a person with criminogenic behavior (small volume, high stability of composition and homogeneity of participants, low referentiality, selectivity of social relations) . The influence of parameters of social environment of a person and relations with it on post-penitentiary re-integration is noted.

The further development of urban mobility, taking into account the latest technical and technological achievements, is considered by many leading vehicle manufacturers in creating and introducing unmanned urban air mobile vehicles into the urban environment. Despite the fact that currently the development of these means of transportation of passengers and cargo is actually in the technical plane - the integral success of introducing this type of transport depends on multiple socio-technological aspects of this phenomenon, which will have various social consequences. The objective of this paper is to identify the socio-technological issues of the phenomenon of unmanned urban air mobility. The result of this paper is to make recommendations to developers of unmanned urban air mobile vehicles in order to minimize the damage from ignoring the negative socio-technological consequences of introducing this type of transport into the urban environment. The novelty of the paper lies in the fact that this type of transport was studied not from a technical and technological point of view, which is the leading one at this stage, but using a socio-technological approach. The paper clearly proves that unmanned urban air mobile vehicles are also multifaceted social objects.

"During the Armistice period, one of the most emphasized issues in Occupied Istanbul was the issue of public order. A new era has started in Istanbul since 13 November 1918, when Istanbul was actually occupied. In an environment where the authority and prestige of the Istanbul Government were shaken, the unlawful practices of the Occupation Forces (seizing buildings, intervening in prisons, releasing non-Muslim detainees), activities of minorities, gangs in and around Istanbul, the White Russians taking refuge in Istanbul, the issue of orphans were all discussed in the city. It has made the political and socio-economic situation inextricable. The confiscation of official and private buildings and houses by the occupation authorities caused serious grievances, and Istanbulites suffered material and moral losses. After a while, the Entente authorities started to release the non-Muslim prisoners from prisons, ignoring the sovereignty and laws of the Ottoman Empire. The discomfort experienced was reflected in the correspondence until the end of the armistice period. Again, it is necessary to add to the developments the disdainful attitude of the soldiers of the Occupation Forces towards the Turks. In addition, the trials that took place in the Court of War, which was created with the demands and pressures of the Entente Powers, and the punishments given as a result, hurt the public conscience. Again, another important issue was the activities carried out under the auspices and support of the Occupation Forces by the minorities who thought that the Ottoman Empire had come to an end. These behaviors of the minorities have upset and offended the Turkish society. Especially Greek gangs committed many crimes in and around Istanbul. One of the most important problems encountered after the Armistice of Mudros was the issue of orphans. The issue of orphans, one of the most painful legacies of the First World War, is an abused issue in Occupied Istanbul. The fact that the Patriarchates, acting with the support of the occupation authorities, took the orphans known to be Muslim on the grounds that they were non-Muslim orphans was reflected in the Turkish press since 1919 and public awareness was raised. However, it is highly controversial how accurate the identification of orphans can be and whether the efforts of the Istanbul Government work in this chaos environment experienced during the years of occupation. Another problem of the capital Istanbul is the Bolshevik opponents, namely the White Russians, fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution. A mass of around 250,000 refugees, who took refuge in 3 waves, aggravated many problems, especially housing in the city. White Russians have made positive and negative contributions to the life of Istanbul. To mention as a negative development, it is clear that it has effects on the increase of prostitution and betting games. “Public order” has been one of the most emphasized concepts in official correspondence and in the evaluations among the public in occupied Istanbul. The conditions in Istanbul facilitated and accelerated the deterioration of public order. In order for the security in the city to become controllable, it will be necessary to wait for the National Struggle to be won and the Turkish soldiers to take over the city."

Questions of ethics, values, justice, and the moral principles according to which we engage in geographical scholarship, have always been a part of geography, but for the past two decades—and perhaps even more significantly, since the events of September 11, 2001—they have become a central part of the lexicon of American and international geographical scholarship. The Values, Justice and Ethics Specialty Group (VJESG) was formed in 1997 to respond to a felt need for geographers to focus on both the ethical issues that inform our academic work, and the ways in which that work is connected to larger societal issues. The concerns of the group have been less with a particular range of topics or approaches than with the ethical questions that cut across the entire discipline, on the assumption that such questions are bounded neither by subject matter nor by theoretical constraints. The group was formed at a time when questions of whether geographers should be concerned about the moral, ethical implications of their work had long since been replaced with questions of how geographers could focus attention on these issues. Concern is with the very difficult questions that link personal commitment, or reflexivity, with larger questions of research and pedagogy. One of the best sources of evidence of the importance of such questions, and of the intellectual sophistication with which they are being asked, is the journal Ethics, Place and Environment, inaugurated in 1998. This group felt a need, therefore, for a geographical forum in which to explore the relationship between American geography and the world in which it operates. While a relatively small number of geographers works in a more narrowly defined field that might be called moral philosophy (Sack 1997; Smith 1997,1998a, 2000), for the vast majority, ethical questions connect the academic and the personal lives of geographical practitioners, in ways that influence directly the questions they ask, the methodological and theoretical choices they make, and, perhaps most importantly, their personal relations with their research subjects and their own communities. As I. Hay (1998: 73) suggests, “the place to start that process is on our [geographers’] own professional bodies.”

In many European countries psychology is taught as an optional secondary school subject and as an introductory course in variety of university programmes for "non-psychologists" (e.g. teachers, social workers etc.). It might be challenging to teach psychology in an innovative way (using digital content within technology-rich learning environment) and to reach the objectives of developing student?s personality and psychological literacy at the same time. We applied the design-based research to design an innovative course of psychology for the secondary education. In the first phase quasi-experiment design was used (n=33). Eight lessons of psychology were taught in an experimental group in the technology-rich learning environment (using variety of online exercises, experiments, presentations and tests) and in a control group using traditional materials. Based on the students? feedback (didactic tests (n=73) and individual semi-structured interviews (n=11) we got an image of students? perception of the implementation of technology into psychology teaching and learning. Secondarily we analysed written narratives on the outcomes and the pitfalls of an introductory psychology course in the university teacher training (n=46). Content analyses revealed that both groups of students find psychology rather abstract and they need visualisations, practical interconnections, and learning in the context to enhance understanding psychology. On the other hand students prefer experiential social learning, social interactions, discussions and group work within psychology courses. Based on these data we designed an interactive course combining both digital and traditional materials and recommended methods of instructions. Such a course design allows teachers to implement various teaching scenarios with interactions among students, teacher, technology and visually attractive digital content. The course covers four areas included in general psychology curriculum in the secondary education and in the most of introductory psychology courses for non-psychologists in Slovakia: history of psychology, cognitive processes, personality and inter-individual differences, and social psychology. The study is a part of project KEGA 021UK-4/2013 "Teaching of psychology and the subjects of personal and social development - set of teaching materials".
