Seminar on Strategy for Water Pollution Abatement in View of the Norwegian Experience
No full textAs a part of the Program of Bilateral Co-operation between the Norwegian Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Natural Resources and Forestry in Poland, this project has been executed by the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) while sponsored by the State Pollution Control Autority (SFT). As Polish co-ordinator, the Department of Water Management of the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Natural Resources and Forestry was appointed. The seminar was held from the 13th to the 18th March 1995 in Oslo and Lillehammer. The seminar aimed in providing a forum in which the Polish environmental decision-makers, officials and scientists could exchange views on and learn about the Norwegian environmental management, particularly related to the water pollution abatement
Nitrification with submerged filters. Air supply and comsumption at the pilot-plant at the Bekkelaget treatment plant
No full textDuring the three months research period (October 1989 - January 1990) the average nitrification efficiencies for municipal sewage were 48% and 61 % for respectively one-step and two-step biological submerged filters placed after chemical precipitation. Correspondi- ng nitrification rates were 0.69 and 0.56 g NH4-N/m² d. The air/liquid ratio (m³/m³) varied from 18-35 for the diffused aeration, giving high 02-concentrations, but indicating an inefficient aeration system. No logging problems occured with the backwashing routines used
Establishment of Scientific Contacts within Environmental Protection between NIVA and POLTEGOR, Poland
Full text linkAfter initative from researchers from the Polish Mining Institute (POLTEGOR) from Wroclaw, the three researchers visited NIVA, SFT, Elkem Mangan PEA in Porsgrunn and Denofa and Lilleborg Factory A/S in Fredrikstad. This visit was aiming in learning about the Norwegian approach to environmental protection connected to mining activities, as well as utilisation of the waste from the edible oil production, By the exhange of the experiences new contacts were established, which will, hopefully, lead to future co-operation
Strategy for integrated water supply, wastewater treatment and disposal systems for small communities in Poland. Case study - master and action plans (MaAP) for the Bystra River Catchment. Interim report: I: Data gathering
No full textThis report is the first interim report and presents in general terms the summary of the results of the first phase of the three-phase demonstration project: Strategy for integrated Water supply, Wastewater treatment and Disposal systems for small communities in Poland" This project is part of the programme of bilateral cooperation between the Norwegian Ministry of environment, and Ministry of environmental protection, Natural resources and forestry in Poland. It is implemented by the NIVA and is funded by the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority (SFT). The institute of Environmental protection (IOS) performs the Polish coordination, sponsered by the National foundation for Environmental protection. This interim report presents an overview of data collected in the studied catchment area, data which is necessary to qualified the river water and to determinate the pollution load in order develop an abatement strategy
Master and Action Plans Concept: Wastewater Management Norwegian methodology Illustrated with a Case Study for the Bystra River Catchment, Poland

The Institute of Environmental Protection (IOS) in Poland has been responsible for the co-ordination in Poland, sponsored by the National Foundation for Environmental Protection and Water Management. Management. This report presents the principles of the Norwegian methodology for making master plans for wastewater management, based on the guidelines from SFT. The methodology is illustrated with a case for the Bystra river catchment in Poland
Strategy for Integrated Water Supply, Wastewater Treatment and Disposal Systems for Small Communes in Poland Case study - Master and Action Plans (MaAP) for the Bystra River Catchment
Full text linkThis report is the final report of the project: "Strategy for integrated Water Supply, Wastewater Treatment and Disposal System for Small Communes in Poland: Case study - Master and Action Plans (MaAP) for the Bystra river catchment". The project is part of the Programme of Bilateral Co-operation between the Norwegian Ministry of Environment and the Ministry of Environmental Protection, Natural Resources and Forestry in Poland. It has been implemented by the Norwegian Institute for Water Research (NIVA) and has been funded by the Norwegian Pollution Control Authority (SFT). The Institute of Environmental Protection (IOS) in Poland has been responsible for the co-ordination in Poland, sponsored by the National Foundation for Environmental Protection and Water Management. The project provides an input to the process of wastewater master planning methodology in Poland, presented as a case study for the Bystra river catchment, and based on Norwegian procedures. on Norwegian procedures. This report presents the main objectives, activities and conclusions of the project, as well as a short presentation of Norwegian experiences relevant to the project. Five report have been elaborated prior to this report, where the entire project development is described
Microbial activity and process kinetics of the Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket reactor for decomposition of selected chlorinated substances
No full textBiological, anaerobic treatment of industrial wastewater was studied with use of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket. Degradation of some chlorinated substances (6-chlorvanilin(6CV), trichloacetic acid(TCA)) which are found in bleaching wastewater, was followed. The rate of degradation of 6CV was determined. The rates of 6-chlorovanilin degradation was determined at about 0.22 gCOD-CH4/gVSS*d. Experiences on the UASB reactors performance is also presented. We have experienced that addition of 6-chlorovanilin to both : syntethic as well as bleachingwastewaters, causes problems. This was observed as loss of bacterial activity and low methane gas production. Reactors fed with the synthetic medium kept up activity longer than those fed with bleaching wastewater. Chlorinated compounds in bleaching wastewater may be degraded anaerobically. However, the performance of UASB reactors fed with bleaching wastewater needs to be studied further due to problems arising from constitutents other than chlorinated compounds
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
