Abstract:
This study conducted a Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of a constructed wetland for wastewater treatment to compare the impact of differences between domestic and international Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) databases on water footprint results. The assessment targeted a constructed wetland with a treatment capacity of 100 tons, located in Goseong-gun, with the functional unit defined as one constructed wetland treating wastewater from a small village. The analysis focused on the environmental impacts during the construction phase, and the LCA was performed in accordance with the ISO 14040 framework.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to develop an environmental database for construction finish materials organized by building element as part of an effort to develop an environmental effect assessment program for buildings. To this end, a classification system has been developed for building elements that satisfies the demands from construction project stakeholders to acquire environmental information. Furthermore, among the construction materials, an environmental database of the finish materials has been developed for each building element based on reference substances and the impact indexes of

A process to mitigate these risks was established at Levine Cancer Institute (LCI) in partnership with Atrium Health’s (AH) Hospital at Home (HAH) initiative. This virtual health navigation process employed expertise from the departments of Hematologic Oncology and Blood Disorders, Oncology, and Supportive Oncology, including a specialized nurse navigation team, to rapidly identify COVID-19 positive LCI patients, monitor them under physician supervision, and escalate car

Evidence suggests that older people aged ≥65 years and those aged 60–64 years with chronic medical conditions are at higher risk of developing severe complications due to influenza virus infection when compared with young, healthy adults. Although seasonal influenza is monitored through a nationwide passive surveillance in Japan, influenza related outcomes and medical resource consumption have not been fully documented.

Abstract:
One of the most problematic forms of nature protection in Poland relates to landscape parks. They include the most valuable landscapes, but the areas within the landscape park still have economic uses. Therefore, the monitoring of landscape changes within landscape parks is necessary in order to properly manage these forms of protection. The main objective of the study was to monitor the scale and nature of landscape transformations within the boundaries of landscape parks in Poland during the period 2000–2018 and to assess the possibility of using the landscape change index (LCI) to monitor t

This study investigates the extraction of cellulose from Saudi Arabia-based date palm biomass utilizing a natural deep eutectic solvent (NaDES) integrated with a microwave-assisted process. A comprehensive life cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted in accordance with the ISO 14040 standard, encompassing four key stages: goal and scope definition, life cycle inventory analysis (LCI), life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) and interpretation. The analysis was confined to a gate-to-gate boundary in which two impact assessment methods, namely, ReCiPe Midpoint (H) 2016 and ILCD 2011 Midpoint, were used
