Abstract:
SUMMARYCampylobacter organisms isolated from water samples taken weekly from ponds and land-drains in the City of Hull were compared with isolates from humans. Of 314 campylobacter organisms isolated from patients, 237 (75.5%) of the strains were identified as typicalCampylobacter jejuni, whilst of 125 identified strains isolated from the water samples, 85 (68%) resembledC. jejuniin most respects but were hippurate hydrolysis negative by the Hwang and Ederer method. The ponds and land drains in the city were therefore not a source of campylobacteriosis in the people living near these water courses. The atypicalC. jejunistrains isolated from the environment may be mistaken for theC. jejunistrains which cause human infection. It is therefore essential that such strains are fully identified before attributing human and animal infections to their ingestion.

Abstract:
Title – Ocean World Water Park: destination marketing challenge. Subject area – Marketing. Study level/applicability – The case should ideally be discussed in an advanced second year MBA course or towards the end of a first year course where the students are already exposed to the basics of marketing. The case works well in courses on destination marketing, strategic marketing, campaign management, entrepreneurship. It also works well with executives, the case discussion affording the instructor an opportunity to illuminate the complexity of designing and implementing marketing strategy. Case overview – Two young MBAs, each with a marketing specialization working in a bank, left their jobs and started their own company by buying a rubber plantation business from another businessman. The businessman was one of the co-owners of the “Ocean World Water Park” theme park (amusement park) close to Bhubaneswar-Cuttack twin city. The amusement park had good potential as it was located in an area with exponential growth of young executives having high disposable incomes. But the business performed poorly because of management ineffectiveness. The case explores the possibility of a turnaround. Expected learning outcomes – The case: sensitizes students about the commercial implications of their marketing decisions by giving them adequate data to work on evaluating the revenue and profit impact of marketing initiatives on business; and helps them to understand that promotional variables are not independent in nature and hence separating the impact of one promotion when a large number of initiatives are operational, is not very dependable. Though the case provides a particular way of attempting to solve the problem, it does not lead to unique solutions. Supplementary materials – Teaching notes are available for educators only.

Abstract:
The benefits of park therapy have been investigated in young adults, but rarely for middle-aged and older adults. This study evaluates the physiological and psychological effects of walking in urban parks and park therapy images in winter, spring, and early summer. The experiments were implemented in two walking courses in the urban park in Japan and involved 12 middle-aged and older adults. Participants walked on walking courses in an urban park and city street for 11–15 min. Their heart rate and blood pressure were evaluated to determine physiological responses. The Profile of Mood States (POMS), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI), and Landscape Image Sketching Technique (LIST) were used to determine psychological responses and spatial conditions. Walking in an urban park exhibited lower heart rates and blood pressure as compared to walking in the city. It was congruent with lowered negative moods, total mood disturbance (TMD) scores, and state anxiety, while the higher positive mood was observed in the urban parks as compared to the city. Images in winter displayed trees, relaxation, and comfort; in spring, water, activity, people, surrounding place, and recreational space; and in early summer, greenery, lawn, and broadness. In conclusion, walking in urban parks leads to physiological, psychological relaxation, and varied landscape appreciation.

Abstract:
Environmental health diagnosis was made in a sport and recreational park in the city of Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. The objective of this research was to perform an environmental diagnosis in Tucson Park; it concentrated on air quality (fine and coarse particulate matter, carbon dioxide), environmental noise, water quality of springs and a pond according to national standards, and macroinvertebrates as biological indicators of water condition, as well as phytosanitary state of wooded area. Additionally, a survey was conducted to study environmental perception. Results of the study highlighted significant statistical differences concerning the amount and size of particles for the winter and spring seasons. Noise levels within the park premises exceeded the Mexican standard. Water quality measured through general criteria of integrated water quality index (WQI) qualified the park´s analyzed springs as acceptable but to abstain its use and human consumption. Finally, the perception survey identified insecurity as the major problem, followed by the lack of lighting and effective communication of courses and workshops for the community to attend. It is one of the first environmental diagnoses in sport parks in Mexico´s Metropolitan Areas as an integrated approach of ecosystem health and wellbeing of city inhabitants.

Abstract:
Swedish archaeologists have been working in Pompeii since 2000. Our fieldwork has consisted mainly of the study of standing walls and cleared floor levels in a city block unearthed in the 19th century and of the production of a comprehensive documentation, presented in an open access publication: www.pompejiprojektet.se/insula.php. The perspective of the present paper is the insula as a whole. Its main study objects are features of recurrent nature that in varying form and frequency are found in many of the separate houses and other units that constitute this insula: for example, the divergent materials used for the rubble masonry in the first phase of urbanisation, structures used for water management such as water supply and drains, possible earthquake damage and resulting repairs, preferences for where kitchens and sanitary installations are placed, markers indicating property borders and dependencies such as pavement curbing, courses of water inlets and drains, shops communicating with the houses through rear doorways, and the existence and extent of second-storey flats. The features studied are contextualised in their natural and urban environment. In general, historical events enter the discussion when linked to the chronological development of the infrastructures, communal and private, which this study highlights as being of decisive importance for understanding the development of the organisation of real estate and social structures in this insula and on a wider stage as well.

Abstract:
Title: Architecture and Water (Palembang Case) The total area of Indonesia consists of a total land area of 1,904,569 km2 and a sea area of 7.900.000 km2. Indonesia's geographical location has two rainy and dry seasons, tropical climate and high humidity and sunshine throughout the year. This condition is also reinforced by the location of Indonesia located on two continents, Asia and Australia. Thus Indonesia is not only about land but also waters. This general description becomes the basic of understanding the case study of Palembang city. The case of Palembang was appointed to see the consequences of 'water' in the course of city development and the traces of its architectural artifacts. Then how the latest development of Palembang city, is still oriented to the water or have forgotten the water as the face of the city? The purpose of this discussion is to show the development of the city, especially Palembang, related to its natural geographical conditions. Explore this descriptive paper using a historical study approach with chronic descriptive methods. Chronic descriptive method is a method of translation as it is with a note on events that are considered important in a particular location. Descriptive descriptive results show that the city of Palembang has left the water, the icon of the Musi River is placed as a 'separator / distinguishing / distance maker' rather than 'union' between Ilir and Ulu. Geographical natural conditions are not placed as a basis in the implementation and development of Palembang City.

Abstract:
Serang city is the capital city of Banten province surrounded by cities and counties nearby. At this time serang city has become center of activities and migration of the counties nearits that cause the past population growth. This of course will affect to the building both physical and non physical ones. At the same time environment problem increases too, such as the height of temperature , the increase of air pollution, trafkic jam, the decrease of water quality. One of the ways of handling the problems is bye keeping and developing green open space, that will become city forest. This research is to find out the potency of the impact of city forest management to envirounment in Serang city, like air quality. CO2 decrease, noise, moisture, and potency of carbon as well as potency of water absorbance. Research methodoly used is using primary data of environmental quality test in fivelocation in Serang city which is placed near the city forest area to colculate the potency of carbon absorbance using formula of biomassa tree calcution which is calculated based on the ability of plantation water absorbance. The research show that the value of physical environment in city forest area is better than the condition of physical environment which is forer from the city forest.

Abstract:
Role-playing scenarios in science education offer students an active way to engage in learning as well as to discover how their decisions as citizens, voters, or policymakers can affect environmental and public health. In this activity, students take on the role of environmental consultants, helping city planners decide the best location for a new recreation area located on the fictional community's major waterway. The objective of the game is to engage the students in critical thinking to determine the most relevant water tests needed to accept or reject the four proposed locations, given their knowledge of possible pollutants from different land-use activities. Students work in teams to integrate methods used in determining water quality, such as chemical testing, macroinvertebrate surveys, and bacterial monitoring, into a defendable decision for their recommendation. This activity was designed for and tested by high school students enrolled in AP Environmental Sciences and could be modified for undergraduate ecology or biology courses.

Abstract:
After the construction of its wastewater treatment plants, the City of Quebec began to implement overflow control in wet weather to ultimately meet the effluent discharge objectives, i.e. no more than two overflows per summer season in the St. Lawrence River and no more than four in the St-Charles River. After several years of studies to determine which management strategies would best suit the purpose, and to propose optimum solutions, a first project to implement optimal and predictive management in real time, called « Pilot », came to life in 1999. Construction in phases soon followed and the work was completed in the fall of 2009. As a result, requirements with regard to environmental rejects were met in two sectors, namely the St-Charles River and the Jacques-Cartier Beach, and aquatic recreational activities could resume. Meanwhile, the City also worked at giving back access to the water courses to the public by developing sites at the Jacques-Cartier Beach and in the Bay of Beauport, and by rehabilitating the banks of the St-Charles River.

Abstract:
The objective of this dissertation is resolving the issues of both form and function of water courses in a present-day city. The dissertation focuses primarily on water courses which may be described as man-made, i.e. those resembling a canal, and addresses their prospective revitalization within the context of urban renewal and development in the present-day post-industrial era. The introduction includes a comprehensive analysis of the historical and typological development of artificial water courses, essential for grasping the connections as well as the current overall state of water courses in an urbanized setting. Detailed attention is devoted in particular to the most frequently occurring artificial water course - i.e. the race. The dissertation strives to defend the irreplaceable role of the water course as a public space in the urban landscape and - consequently - also its prospective essential revitalization. Examples, especially from throughout Western Europe, are used to demonstrate particular solutions, approaches and strategies to predominantly artificial water course renewal within the urban environment. The dissertation also devotes attention to the tools used in reaching relevant solutions.

Abstract:
The Kvarntorp area, some 200 km SW of Stockholm, Sweden, is a former mining site for alum shale. Kvarntorpshögen is a refuse dump from the hydrocarbon extraction during 1940-1965. The area is also dotted by abandoned quarries, which most are water filled today. The area is divided into two watersheds; the central and the eastern. Frommestabäcken is the main watercourse flowing out of the central watershed while Frogestabäcken is the corresponding watercourse in the eastern watershed. These two watercourses have been sampled annually since 1994 by consulting companies for the municipality of Kumla. The sampling sites at Ulftorpsbäcken (main inlet to the central watershed) and at the outlet from Serpentindammssystemet (the water treatment system in the central watershed) was added to the sampling program in 1997 and 1996 respectively. Other consulting companies have sampled the groundwater around Kvarntorpshögen (in 2004) and the water in the lake Norrtorpssjön (in 2004), which is an old water filled quarry. The lake Norrtorpssjön has also been sampled as part of a project performed by Örebro University. This thesis is a compilation and evaluation of all this data but the main part will be given focused on seasonal variations. Samples have been analysed with regard to the metals Na, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Al, Li, B, As, Cu, Ni, Zn, Co, Cr, Cd, Pb, Mo, Sr and U. Other analysed parameters were tot-N, tot-P, bicarbonate (alkalinity), sulphate, chloride and the parameters pH, electrical conductivity and COD(Mn). Samples of bottom fauna have also been collected in Frommestabäcken. Concentration of most metals increased in the surface water while passing the Kvarntorp area. High metal concentrations were found for example in some of the groundwater samples. Such high concentrations were not observed in the samples from Frommestabäcken or Frogestabäcken, indicating for example dilution of metals or immobilisation through precipitation or adsorption. Seasonal effects on the dissolution and precipitation/adsorption of compounds were observed at all annually sampled watercourses. One of these effects was the spring- and autumn circulation of the lake Norrtorpssjön. The lake forms a thermocline during summer which causes higher concentrations of metals beneath the thermocline. During circulation these concentrations mixes throughout the depth profile which affects the amount of elements that is transported from the lake via Frogestabäcken. During winter the highest concentrations of metals are expected near the surface of the lake since the surface is colder than the rest of the water mass.

Thesis (M.C.P.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Urban Studies and Planning, 2005.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 93-96).
Supply of water to urban households by tanker truck in developing and advanced developing countries is often associated with early stages of urbanization or with the private markets on which water vendors serve households not connected to the piped network. Despite Mexico City's high household network coverage rate and recent improvements in billing, collection, and network maintenance and upgrading, the public sector supplies bulk water to households by truck in response to persistent water scarcity and insufficient network service levels in some areas. Analysis of the public trucked water delivery services in two of Mexico City's sixteen delegations-or districts-shows two distinct paths to improved trucked service performance in a shared new environment of democratic governance. Although both delegation administrations are led by the same political party, in one delegation officials pursue accountability in the public trucked water service through an evolving set of new internal business practices. In the other delegation, organized residents and elected politicians support service accountability through co- production with delegation authorities and external oversight. This thesis asks how and why two distinct models of accountability in trucked water service delivery operate across two Mexico City delegations, and asks what the implications of the distinct accountability models are for improved household access to water.

Abstract:
Diese Dissertation untersucht die Frage, wie sich aktuelle Finanzpraktiken auf die Versorgung mit städtischer Wasserinfrastruktur auswirken und welche Konsequenzen diese Praktiken für Städte haben. Die Arbeit umfasst drei spezifische Ziele, die jeweils in einer separaten Publikation behandelt werden: Die erste Publikation entwickelt den theoretischen Rahmen zur Erarbeitung der Forschungsfrage und prüft diesen in einer ersten empirischen Anwendung. Dabei wird argumentiert, dass durch die Betonung der Rolle von Infrastrukturen und die Entwicklung eines auf "Finanzökologien" basierenden Modells die Auswirkungen der Finanzialisierung auf Städte besser verstanden werden kann. Die empirische Anwendung im Kontext der Einführung von Kommunalanleihen in Großbritannien zeigt erste räumliche Effekte auf. In der zweiten Publikation wird die zeitliche Dimension der Finanzialisierung von städtischer Wasserinfrastruktur untersucht. Sie hebt die soziale Erfahrung von Zeit (temporalities/Zeitlichkeiten) hervor und zeigt am Beispiel des Thames Tideway Tunnels (TTT) in London, wie dessen Finanzialisierung bestimmte zeitliche Charakteristika festlegt. Diese eröffnen und verschließen Möglichkeitsräume, welche abschließend betrachtet werden. Die dritte Publikation wendet das im ersten Artikel entwickelte Modell auf eine vergleichende Analyse der Finanzökologien der städtischen Infrastruktur in London und Mumbai an. Um die sich wandelnde Dynamik der Finanzökologie besser zu verstehen, verfolgt der Artikel einen zweistufigen Ansatz: Zunächst werden Initiativen zur Einführung von Kommunalanleihen als Mittel zur Infrastrukturfinanzierung auf nationaler Ebene untersucht. Sodann wird beispielhaft ein Fall der Projektfinanzierung auf lokaler Ebene herangezogen. Die empirische Analyse dieser Fälle fungiert anschließend als Grundlage für eine vergleichende Untersuchung, welche unterschiedliche Muster der Finanzialisierung identifiziert. Im weiteren Verlauf setzt sich der vorliegende Text kritisch mit den ursprünglichen Zielen und der Methode der Dissertation auseinander und gibt einen Überblick über die geleisteten Beiträge zur einschlägigen Literatur. Der Schlussabschnitt fasst die drei Veröffentlichungen zusammen und bezieht diese auf aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse zur Finanzialisierung der städtischen Infrastruktur. Abschließend wird ein Ausblick auf die Bedeutung des behandelten Feldes für die Herausforderungen des Klimawandels und das Aufkommen von „Smart City“-Konzepten gegeben.
This thesis examines the question of how current financial practices affect urban water infrastructure provision, and the consequences of these evolving practices for cities. The thesis sets out three specific objectives, each tackled by a separate publication: the first aims to establish a theoretical framework capable of addressing the research question, and tests it via a first empirical application. It presents the argument that, by emphasizing the role of infrastructure and developing a conceptual model based on financial ecologies, we can better understand the impacts of financialization on cities. The empirical application, in the context of municipal bond development in the UK, identifies some initial spatial effects. The second publication explores the temporal dimension of finance in relation to urban water infrastructure. It emphasizes the social experience of time as temporalities and shows, by example of the Thames Tideway Tunnel (TTT) project in London, how its financialization establishes certain temporal characteristics. The paper concludes with an analysis of openings and closures for political intervention that result from these specific characteristics. The final publication applies the conceptual model, developed in the first publication, to a comparative analysis of the financial ecologies of urban infrastructure in London and Mumbai. To determine the changing dynamics of financial ecologies, the paper follows a twin approach: firstly, it examines initiatives for the introduction of municipal bonds as a means for infrastructure financing at the national level; secondly, it identifies an exemplary case of project finance at the local level. Data obtained through empirical research allow comparison of the cities’ respective financial ecologies, thereby highlighting patterns that emerge as a consequence of financialization. The thesis concludes by reflecting on the original objectives, the method, and by summarizing the contributions to the literature. The conclusion section draws together the three publications and relates them to current research on the financialization of urban infrastructure while providing a perspective on the significance of the field in view of the challenges of climate change and the momentum behind ‘smart city’ initiatives.

Abstract:
Thesis (M. Arch.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Architecture, 1990.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 66-67).
This thesis focuses on the design of a public theatre for the entire city of Boston, a "city stage." The intention is to explore through design the boundaries of an architectural setting for large scale performance art; one that could be enjoyed by the entire city at once. Further, the idea is to provide an architecture that supports the kinds of performance that might heighten not only the experience of what is conventionally known as "theatre", but would also transform our sense of scale in terms of the audience / performer relationship. In another sense, the theatre would serve as a focal point - a "public common" - in a harbor that has been sorely neglected. Today, Boston is in a rare position to reclaim its waterfront. Projects like the depression of the Central Artery and the harbor clean-up are opportunities to positively impact the waterfront environment. The "city stage" might serve as a beacon for the harbor and a place to enjoy what was once a forbidding edge.

Full text
Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references
This dissertation seeks to explore the core drivers of international cooperation over shared water courses particularly in Southern African, using the example of the Okavango River Basin as a case study. As a starting point it highlights the hydro-political context of Southern African, which is dominated by more than 21 shared water courses and faces significant challenges to its water sector namely through climate variability and population growth. In light of these pressing issues which could create a security complex for sovereign riparian states, international cooperation over trans-boundary water sources is imperative. Drawing on core theories of international relations, this dissertation suggests that cooperation between riparian states is a result of strong institutional frameworks, at a river-basin, regional and international level. Cooperation is further reinforced through development functionalism which plays an important role in facilitating cooperation through the advancement of regional development goals and initiatives. Finally, the dissertation explores the role of international norms of cooperation over trans-boundary water courses and the important role they play in fostering cooperation. Using the case of the Okavango River Basin, the dissertation suggests that in Southern Africa, the strongest driver of cooperation is strong legal and institutional frameworks, which once established, form the basis for sustainable cooperation for water diplomacy between riparian states. Cooperation over the Okavango River Basin and the twenty years of cooperation established between Angola, Namibia and Botswana through the Permanent Cubango-Okavango River Basin Commission (OKACOM) highlights an optimistic account for hydro-political cooperation over trans-boundary water systems between sovereign riparian states and provides a useful model for water basin agreements that are yet to be established. This thesis thus concludes that in light of the growing challenges facing the water sector in Southern Africa, strong institutions and legal frameworks are required to enhance cooperation among riparian states.

Abstract:
Learning is a complex process that includes self-motivation, self-control and self-discipline. The efficiency of learning depends on the motivation of students and overall atmosphere in the classroom. At the same time, promotion of interest to communicate out of the classroom is of the same importance. Furthermore, if students find an interest in a specific professional field during the out-of-classroom activities, the study process in engineering sciences becomes easier and more enjoyable.To promote the interest in engineering studies at Riga Technical University study programme Heat, Gas and Water Technology, workshops at the infrastructure units of the related industry representatives, summer workshops in the sports, seminar and recreation centre, as well as basketball and table tennis competition between teachers and students are organized on a regular basis. Through the thematic games, teachers find the motivation to upgrade the quality of the study process and students gain more information on the topic and ability to achieve higher results. The proposed board game for the out-of-classroom activities is a successful method to facilitate the communication between lecturers and students in practice. At the same time, the game contains control questions that allow to stimulate and promote the knowledge level of the students.

Abstract:
Down through the centuries, Amsterdam has always been a compactly built city. There were good reasons for the compactness. It was not easy to make the marshy ground suitable for building. Water courses had to be filled in, marshlands drained, dikes had to be constructed and canals dug. Until the 19th century, the city had to be defended by walls and city ramparts from the surrounding dangers. It was only safe to life inside those walls. Even now there are still good reasons for continuing to build compactly. The Netherlands is a densely populated country where space and nature are scarce; the space we have has to well used, so city expansions were always carefully planned. There’s always been a tension between the need to build compactly and the quality of living in the city. In the history of Amsterdam can be seen how it was necessary to choose between density and space. In periods when the economy was flourishing, such as the 17th century, the city allowed itself more space. In periods of stagnation, buildings were placed increasingly close to each other. But, as architect Rietveld said, “In a properly built city, the scale of a dwelling can be closer to that of a big roomy coat with inside pockets than to a castle.”

Abstract:
The water samples collected from four localities of the middle course of the Zapadna Morava River during 2020 were analyzed via the selected physico-chemical parameters with the aim to estimate the quality of surface water. According to the results of selected physico-chemical parameters (pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, biochemical oxygen demand), analyzed surface water show a good chemical status, while the values of nutrient content (nitrate, nitrite, ammonium ion, total phosphorus) indicated the poor chemical status especially at the locality 4 probably due to the outflow of wastewater from the city of Čačak as well as from the influence of the polluted water of the Čemernica River.

Abstract:
In the last twenty years, the territory that comprises the Vega Baja of the Segura River (Alicante province) has experienced a drastic change in terms of how space is occupied. This is observable in the introduction of new uses that modify the configuration patterns of traditional settlements. This paper presents a typology characterization and classification of the evolution of traditional rural settlements which includes new emerging patterns of urban settlements in the Vega Baja’s context. This process has significantly impacted the landscape and the environment, as well as affecting how the local population relates to their living environment. The alluvial territory of the Vega Baja of the Segura River has been historically developed as a result of the expansion of its functional network systems —water canals, pathways, and settlements— which enable the occupation and colonization of extensive areas of marshy land. The territorial organization of this study’s area, developed over the course of eleven centuries, remained relatively stable until the 1990’s. However, in the last twenty-five years, the local economy has undergone restructuring, producing a mind-shift among local communities and resulting in a meaningful loss of crop production surface to make way for town-planning developments. The geographical area of this study is characterized by its intensive irrigated agricultural pattern. It is one of the last remaining Huerta European landscapes identified in the Dobris Report. Therefore, a more comprehensive and integrated approach to preserve identity and local cultural values is required so as to propose a sustainable economic development framework.References Antrop, M.

Abstract:
This paper describes an effective, but simple, technique using a computer interface for control, data acquisition, and processing of a heat pump laboratory experiment. A water-to-air heat pump that allows comfort cooling and heating from a single source is used as an experiment and will be incorporated in a Mechanical Engineering Laboratory Course. Presently, the source is the city water. Plans are in place to use a ground source that provides a relatively constant temperature water supply, as low as 45°F. This well-instrumented laboratory teaching equipment allows students to measure temperatures, pressures, flow rate, and power input and then calculate the coefficient of performance of the system and the efficiency of the compressor both manually and automatically. A self-contained Windows-based data collection and analysis system has been developed for automating all the manual functions of a WPH-J Series Water-to-Air Heat Pump from Heat Controller, Inc. This system uses a data acquisition board to read the voltage signals corresponding to 9 T-type thermocouples, three pressure gauges, and compressor supplied power. The data acquisition and control software written in Visual Basic 6 uses 32-bit libraries to control the operation mode, read the thermocouples’ voltages, water flow rate, compressor’s input and output pressure, and supplied power.
