Abstract:
The Lusatian lignite-mining district (Eastern Germany) is characterized by a high share of marginal post-mining areas. At these sites, crop yield is generally low, and hence, conventional land use systems often fail in terms of reliable and efficient crop production. In this paper the attempt is made to evaluate the production of woody biomass for bioenergy in short rotation coppices (SRC) and alley cropping systems (ACS) with black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) and lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) from the aspect of possible ecological and economic benefits compared to the conventional agricultural recultivation practice. The results show that, due to both high establishment and harvesting costs and comparatively low prices of energy wood, land use systems such as SRC or ACS are currently hardly profitable compared to conventional agriculture. However, the cultivation of black locust resulted in a higher humus accumulation and in a lower harvest-related nutrient export than the cultivation of lucerne as a typical recultivation crop in this region. Therefore, it can be concluded that for an improvement of soil fertility woody biomass production is more beneficial than the conventional agricultural recultivation practice.

Abstract:
Abstract The new basic safety standards (BSS) Directive 2013/59/Euratom [1] puts EU member states under an obligation to establish, amongst others, national radon action plans. In order to address the issue of long-term risks from radon exposures, it is important to identify areas where elevated levels of radon can be expected. One of the types of areas affected by an increased migration of radon and by the penetration of radon into buildings are areas in which industrial activity, for example, the exploitation of mineral resources, causes changes in the geological environment. The Upper Silesian Coal Basin (USCB) in Poland is one of the examples. The results of studies conducted in the past have shown that the levels of indoor concentration of radon, to a large extent, depend on the geological structure of the subsurface layers. One of the main factors influencing the migratory abilities of radon are the mining-induced changes of a rock body. We estimate that in specific radon-prone zones, the levels of radon may exceed 300 Bq/m3 in approximately 2% of the dwellings. Another problem that may appear in post-mining areas is linked to the reclamation of radioactively contaminated areas. The complex geology of the strata in USCB, the mining activity that can be observed in the region and, additionally, the discharge of radium-bearing waters into the environment are the most significant factors affecting radon potential and hazard in dwellings in this region. In this paper, problems linked to the detection of radon in the mining area of USCB are presented.

Abstract:
Sustainable development policy emphasizes, among other things, the role of green areas in urban space. This remark applies in particular to post-industrial and post-mining cities. One of the elements of shaping the sustainable development of post-mining cities is that forests are often anthropogenic forest ecosystems growing in previously mining areas, one of the most characteristic elements of their spatial development. This article examines the role of urban forests in the post-mining area in Sosnowiec, located in the core of the Katowice conurbation in southern Poland. This article aimed to show the social perception of forests in post-mining areas among the local community and the features of urban forests. The social dimension of the interaction between humans and the environment is related to the issue of urban planning. Research was implemented based on quantitative, qualitative (CATI survey), and cartographic methods. The results indicate the significant role of forests in post-mining areas depending on their location in the settlement areas in a post-industrial city. The research emphasizes that residents perceive forests in post-mining areas of cities as an essential and expected recreational space. Notably, half of them do not see any threats therein. It is also expected that these areas will be better developed for recreational purposes in the future.

Abstract:
Purpose: the main purpose of this paper is to present the idea of a new e-service concerning post-mining areas, which is being developed in the Silesian Voivodeship and which is expected to increase their attractiveness. Design/methodology/approach: The new e-service is based on the development of a system for the inventory and valorisation of post-mining areas. In the course of the work, a field inventory of the areas is carried out, which involves collecting information on their location, configuration in relation to main transport routes, surface configuration and the manner of their management. These data are collected in a database system, which is additionally linked with algorithms enabling benchmarking, assessment of ecosystem services and evaluation of investment attractiveness. All of this will create a new e-service that will enable decisions to be made regarding their further use by various stakeholders. Findings: The value of post-mining and post-industrial areas in the processes of economic transformation of the Silesian Voivodeship and the needs of stakeholders for information regarding these areas. Research limitations/implications: The results provide a basis to improve the effectiveness of regional development planning, especially solutions for SME involvement and cooperation. The results confirm, that a detailed study of entrepreneurs' needs should be included as the main instrument for the implementation and for gaining reliable information on the effectiveness of implemented solutions in the field of innovation support. Practical implications: The Silesia Voivodeship has a large number of post-industrial areas, for which the state and degree of degradation is often undefined. Building new e-services for a region in transition is an important factor for its competitiveness. The OPI-TPP 2.0 service allows the valorisation of sites and additionally provides information to potential investors on the necessary planning, investment and environmental measures. Originality/value: The contribution of the research to the development e-services in post31 mining land management.

Abstract:
One of the key activities of adapting to climate change is the revitalization of post–industrial areas. A special case of such areas are post-mining areas in the mining of rock raw materials, which as a result of opencast mining have a completely different characteristics from the surrounding landscape. Therefore, there is a great need to undertake actions aimed at adapting post–mining areas to climate change. However, to properly design these activities, a method should be defined to assess the level of adaptation of post-mining land to climate change. For its needs, the Topographic Adaptation Index was developed and applied in this paper. In order to determine the level of adaptation to climate change in the studied mine, three models were created in which the course of the Topographic Adaptation Index was analysed depending on the variable spatial conditions.

Abstract:
Abstract The historic post-mining objects deserve special attention due to their high cognitive and didactic value. Conducting the revitalization of such facilities is aimed at preserving the mining cultural heritage, and as a result, it will insert attractiveness to the region. The publication attempts to present an approach to the issues of revitalization of post-mining objects and their analysis in Poland, Spain, and UK. In Poland, there is the Revitalization Act, which comprehensively defines stages and ways of conducting revitalization. Spanish legal regulations do not provide for a separate legal act on revitalization, but they are based on mining Law, environmental law, and cultural heritage law. On the other hand, legal regulations in UK do not provide solutions for the revitalization of post-mining areas. However, land leases could incorporate within them, prior to any industrial or mining activities commencement, a requirement for re-stabilization or returning the land to a safe environmental condition on activity completion. Despite the considerable diversity of legal conditions in the described countries, revitalization measures are conducted with positive results, as illustrated by the Gold Mine in Zloty Stok, La Tortilla Mine in Linares, and revitalization of King Edward Mine, an old mining site in Cornwall.

Abstract:
Thesis (LLM) -- University of Limpopo, 2012<br>The study focuses on rehabilitation, since absence of proper rehabilitation process result in indelible damage to the environment. South Africa, like many other countries, is faced with many environmental problems caused by mining. These problems are particularly caused by, inter alia, abandoned mining areas without rehabilitation, inadequate environmental impact assessment after closure, inadequate financial provision for rehabilitation, and lack of monitoring and aftercare system after post mine closure. The study found that many Companies ignore laws governing prospecting, extraction and rehabilitation. The main purpose of this research is to investigate and recommend guidelines in the rehabilitation process so as to instil respect for the environment. The study therefore recommended strict legislation relating to environmental protection against mining.

Abstract:
Metal mining is one of the economic pillars of the Peruvian economy. Peru is the main producer of gold, zinc, lead, and tin in Latin America and the second largest producer of copper, silver, and zinc worldwide. Despite its economic importance, mining has also left a plethora of Mining Environmental Liabilities (MEL) whose inadequate waste management represents a risk for both the environment and human health and is a common trigger of social problems. The Cajamarca región is the second región in Peru in terms of the number of MEL sites with the majority of them located in the Hualgayoc district. The goal of the PhD project is the assessment of the environmental impact of MEL in the Peruvian Andes using as an example two post-mining sites in the Hualgayoc district. This evaluation includes the study of soils and native plant species in terms of their metal accumulation potential and the species involved in the process, in order to generate information on a possible use of Andean native plants for phytoremediation. The mineralogical composition of soils is dominated by illite, kaolinite, quartz, and jarosite. Soil analyses also reveals a high acidity, very low content of essential nutrients, and potentially toxic concentrations of Pb, Cd, As, Cu, Ag, and Zn out of the 34 analysed elements. Sequential fractionation soil analyses indicate that the highest content of the metals is in fractions with limitedmetal mobility. Soils are classified as extremely polluted according to several geochemical indexes, thus represent a serious risk to the local ecosystem. The main part of the project concerns native Andean flora and contributes to their inventory with the identification of 22 plants belonging to 12 family species. The metal content in plant organs is correlated with that of the soil, in order to assess the phytoremediation potential of native plant species by establishing their metal bioaccumulation and translocation capabilities. Some plants are found to be potentially suitable for phytoremediation of Cd, Cu, and Zn but none of them for Pb, As, and Ag. The speciation studies carried out by HPLC with parallel elemental (ICP) and molecular (ESI) mass spectrometricdetection allows the identification of the chemical species responsible for the translocation of Cu and Zn. Nicotianamine complexes are the major species of copper and zinc in organs of Arenaria digyna, Nicotiana thyrsiflora and Puya sp.; they are accompanied by deoxymutageneic acid complexes. In addition, a novel, never reported so far, dihydroxy-nicotianamine species was identified as the most abundant Cu and Zn ligand in Hypericum laricifolium.<br>L'exploitation minière des métaux est l'un des piliers économiques de l'économie péruvienne. Le Pérou est le principal producteur d'or, de zinc, de plomb et d'étain d.Amérique latine et le deuxième producteur mondial de cuivre, d'argent et de zinc. Malgré son importance économique, l'exploitation minière a également laissé une pléthore de Responsabilités Environnementales Minières (REM) dont la gestion inadéquate des déchets représente un risque pour l'environnement et la santé humaine et est un déclencheur courant de problèmes sociaux. La région de Cajamarca est la deuxième région du Pérou en termes de nombre de sites REM, la majorité d'entre eux étant situés dans le district de Hualgayoc. L'objectif du projet de doctorat est l'évaluation de l'impact environnemental des REM dans les Andes péruviennes en utilisant comme exemple deux sites post-miniers dans le district de Hualgayoc. Cette évaluation comprend l'étude des sols et des espèces végétales indigènes en termes de potentiel d'accumulation des métaux et des espèces impliquées dans le processus, afin de générer des informations sur une éventuelle utilisation des plantes indigènes andines pour la phytoremédiation. La composition minéralogique des sols est dominée par l'illite, la kaolinite, le quartz et la jarosite. Les analyses de sol révèlent également une acidité élevée, une très faible teneur en nutriments essentiels et des concentrations potentiellement toxiques en Pb, Cd, As, Cu, Ag et Zn sur les 34 éléments analysés. Les analyses de sol par fractionnement séquentiel indiquent que la teneur la plus élevée en métaux se situe dans les fractions pour lesquelles la mobilité métallique est limitée. Selon plusieurs indices géochimiques, les sols sont classés comme extrêmement pollués et représentent ainsi un sérieux risque pour l'écosystème local.

Abstract:
The principal topic of this doctoral inquiry is an ethnographic examination of intergenerational experiences of educational 'disaffection' in four former Derbyshire coal mining communities during a period of de-industrialisation, exploring the intersection between education and aspects of class, gender, community, culture and history particular to those communities. A key focus is the investigation of school disaffection as an affective aspect of local historical geographies of resistance and conflict relating, in particular, to the 1984-85 miners' strike. The inquiry makes an original contribution to knowledge in the following ways. First, by producing and analysing a 250,000 word data-base of ethnographic materials, it extends the empirical knowledge of lived experiences of educational disaffection in de-industrialised and post-conflict settings. Secondly, in disseminating related research products throughout the international research community, it establishes a case for seeing school disaffection as significantly related to affective contexts of class experience and thus makes a contribution to the international literature. Thirdly, it contributes to the development of an innovative interdisciplinary account of the social flows of affect as they impact on education. Fourthly, it contributes methodologically to the field of educational ethnography by proposing that the discernible impact of such flows of affect on young people's educational identities necessitates a reimagining of the educational ethnographic project in line with the 'affective turn' (Clough, 2007) in social theory. Finally, it draws out some implications for youth support provision in de-industrialised and post-conflict communities by theorising a new form of critical intergenerational youth support practice.

Abstract:
M.Tech. (Extraction Metallurgy)<br>The discovery of gold at Langlaagte in 1886 led to the development of gold mining in the Far West Rand in 1934. When shafts were sunk, water from the dolomites posed a serious threat to mining. Despite cementation that sealed the many fissures, water still found its way into the underground workings. This led to the “uniform” policy of dewatering. The farming communities in the area that were dependent on the ground water had to be considered, as they had lost their livelihood. As the water levels lowered, dolines and sinkholes were formed, posing a serious threat to life and property. When the mines eventually cease to operate, be it due to high working costs, or the declining grade of the ore body, the re-watering of the dolomitic compartments will occur as a natural consequence. When water comes to within six metres of the original water level, ground instability, the formation of dolines and sinkholes, both new and existing, will occur, threatening the important rail link between Pretoria and Cape Town as it passes through Far West Rand, as well as the N12 between Johannesburg and Potchefstroom, as well as the N14 which lies to the east connecting the Gauteng Province and the North West Province. The dewatering of the compartments caused the soil which formed the roof of the cavities to dry. Re-watering will cause this dry, stable material to become wet and unstable. Where mixtures of slime and/or other material, which is not part of the geological composition of that area was used, the same phenomenon will apply. A further complication is caused by the slimes dams which are unlined. In fact, some of the slime dams were deliberately constructed over cavernous dolomite. This large mass of mine tailings over the dolomitic aquifers will “liquefy”. If the re-watering is not carefully managed the rising water table will undoubtedly trigger a rash of new sinkholes, with catastrophic consequences for unsuspecting communities that may have been established in sensitive areas. The results of previous investigations by the Departments Minerals, Energy and Water Affairs who, due to the loss of institutional memory, might not be able to find the relevant information. Other organizations such as the Council for Geoscience could be using the results for consultancy. The information should be digitized and be available to the broader South African public. FWRDWA is currently in charge of monitoring events in the area. Levelling observations have been carried out quarterly and, so far the movement of ground is minimal. The potential hazard of ground instability will recur with the re-watering of the dolomitic compartments of the Far West Rand. To support what could happen, reference is made to events which took place in the late seventies when the Far West Rand had an above average rainfall. The Donaldson Dam overflowed into the Wonderfontein Spruit and into the dewatered Venterspost compartment. As a result, the water level of the Venterspost Compartment rose rapidly which led to the re-activation of sinkholes and the formation of new ones in the Venterspost area. In the present work levelling has been carried out along most of the loops affected and the results of the levelling give an impression that the surface is currently relatively stable. This Dissertation is presented as an attempt to alert the authorities to the potential dangers if the post mining period is not carefully monitored and insufficient provision made to deal with potential contingencies.

Abstract:
The research about the relation of mining and health has traditionally been carried out ex post, that is, with evaluation of the effects of mining on the health profiles of miners or exposed people, time after to the start of this economic activity. This limits the evaluation of the impact of mining on health, given the lack of knowledge about health indicators prior to the start of mining, or due to the absence of a baseline to analyze series of time. In addition, specific indicators such as vector-borne diseases (for example, malaria morbidity or mortality in endemic areas with mining activity), respiratory problems, effects of contamination with materials used in mining, among other topics, are generally investigated in illegal mining contexts. In Colombia there are few publications about the health profiles in legal mining areas, prior to the mining phase, as a determining aspect to establish a baseline that allows quantitative evaluation of the impacts of this economic activity on the health of the exposed people. This research analyzes the health profile of the residents of a geographic area with the presence of underground gold mining in Buriticá-Antioquia, according to sociodemographic conditions during 2019. The central outcomes of this profile were risk factors related to health services and lifestyle, felt morbidity, overweight and obesity, high blood pressure, STIs, breast disorders, lung conditions, all with their potential socio-economic risks.

Abstract:
Association rules present one of the most versatile techniques for the analysis of binary data, with applications in areas as diverse as retail, bioinformatics, and sociology. In this chapter, the origin of association rules is discussed along with the functions by which association rules are traditionally characterised. Following the formal definition of an association rule, these functions – support, confidence and lift – are defined and various methods of rule generation are presented, spanning 15 years of development. There is some discussion about negations and negative association rules and an analogy between association rules and 2×2 tables is outlined. Pruning methods are discussed, followed by an overview of measures of interestingness. Finally, the post-mining stage of the association rule paradigm is put in the context of the preceding stages of the mining process.

Abstract:
While the technology for mining text documents in large databases could be said to be relatively mature, the same cannot be said for mining other important data types such as speech, music, images and video. Yet these forms of multimedia data are becoming increasingly prevalent on the Internet and intranets as bandwidth rapidly increases due to continuing advances in computing hardware and consumer demand. An emerging major problem is the lack of accurate and efficient tools to query these multimedia data directly, so we are usually forced to rely on available metadata, such as manual labeling. Currently the most effective way to label data to allow for searching of multimedia archives is for humans to physically review the material. This is already uneconomic or, in an increasing number of application areas, quite impossible because these data are being collected much faster than any group of humans could meaningfully label them — and the pace is accelerating, forming a veritable explosion of non-text data. Some driver applications are emerging from heightened security demands in the 21st century, post-production of digital interactive television, and the recent deployment of a planetary sensor network overlaid on the Internet backbone.

Full text
Abstract:
The application of portable XRF spectrometry (pXRF) for determining concentrations of uranium (U), thorium (Th) and potassium (K) was evaluated using a combination of 12 Certified Reference Materials, 17 Standard Reference Materials, and 25 rock samples collected from areas of known U occurrences or mineralization. Samples were analysed by pXRF in Soil, Mining Cu/Zn and Mining Ta/Hf modes. Resulting pXRF data were compared to published recommended values, obtained by total or near total digestion methods with ICP-MS and ICP-OES analysis. Results for pXRF show a linear relationship, for thorium, potassium, and uranium (&amp;amp;lt;5000 ppm U) as compared to the recommended concentrations. However, above 5000 ppm U, pXRF results show an exponential relationship with under reporting of pXRF concentrations compared to recommended values. Accuracy of the data can be improved by post-analysis correction using linear regression equations for potassium and thorium, and samples with &amp;amp;lt;5000 ppm uranium; an exponential correction curve is required at &amp;amp;gt;5000 ppm U. In addition, pXRF analyses of samples with high concentrations of uranium (e.g. &amp;amp;gt;1 wt.% U) significantly over-estimated potassium contents as compared to the published values, indicating interference between the two elements not calibrated by the manufacturer software.
