A strict, single-factor pot experiment was carried out in 2017–2018 in the Swojec Agricultural Experimental Unit at the University of Life Sciences in Wrocław. Fertilisation with digestate was the tested factor, with a focus on its influence on selected energy plants. Sucrosorgo sorghum and Atletico maize were analysed. During the research, the pots were placed in a vegetation hall. The research proved that the use of digestate-based fertiliser improves the productivity of both sorghum and maize, but only with an additional dose of basic macronutrients. The optimal variant is a fertiliser dose of 20 g enriched with 1.0 NPK. Increasing the dose to 30 g and 1.5 NPK generally did not result in a significant increase in plant height or in fresh and dry weights.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139228770","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to related investigation, there is a real problem of lack of social responsibility of grain family farms in China, which restricts their sustainable development. Therefore, based on a sample of 301 family grain farms in China, this paper used multi-classification ordered logit model and mediation effect model to investigate the relationship between perceptions of social responsibility, resource integration ability, and sustainable development of family grain farms. Various studies show that stronger perceptions of social responsibility related to more sustainable development; greater resource integration ability related to more sustainable development; and resource integration ability mediated the relationships between perceptions of social responsibility and sustainable development. Conclusions suggest that improving perceptions of social responsibility, increasing support for improving resource integration ability and giving full play to the mediating role of resource integration ability is needed to bolster the sustainable development of family grain farms.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"11 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139237994","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The design used was a completely randomized design (CRD) consisting of 4 treatments, each treatment was given 4 replications and consisting of 6 DOD. Application of sago pulp for 8 weeks, including 1 week as a pretreatment for adaptation. The results showed that the fermented sago dregs did not have a significant effect (P>0.05) on the average feed consumption and feed conversion of broiler ducks, but had a significant effect (P<0.05) on the average final body weight and weight gain. Histological observations of the intestinal villi showed that fermented sago pulp changed the structure of the villi. Statistical results showed that the width, height, and intestinal surface area of the intestinal villi had a smaller significant effect on each treatment than control.

The WM system is influenced by various variables with the questionable possibility of municipal interventions. The holistic nature of the phenomena resulted in the usage of the redundancy analysis investigating 9 independent determinants and 8 dependent factors of the municipal WM simultaneously. The research was conducted on a sample of 125 municipalities from two Slovak regions, revealing 6 clusters of similarly behaving vectors. Well-defined linkages were found among spatial factors such as altitude, administrative affiliation, and presence of the marginalized groups of inhabitants or in the case of socioeconomic factors such as the number of inhabitants, fees for waste removal, and the creation of illegal landfills. Moreover, the second cluster is negatively correlated with the share of removed illegal landfills and in-house services in the WM and is almost independent of local voluntary activities in the WM and own waste recycling. Various magnitudes of the variables were observed while the number of inhabitants belong to the strongest. Thus, the research has proven that municipalities have the keys to the tools that can influence the analysed ties and support municipal sustainability.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"10 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139240104","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Plackett-Burman design (PBD) and Box-Behnken design (BBD) were applied to optimize adsorption conditions of Pb by genetically engineered S. cerevisiae . The PBD and its subsequent statistical analysis indicate that the initial concentration of Pb, pH and concentration of biosorbent were the three critical factors influencing Pb biosorption by genetically engineered S. cerevisiae . The Path of steepest ascent was then used to approximate the optimal levels of the main factors. Then, the response surface method was used to optimize the adsorption conditions further. Considering biosorption quantity of Pb as the response objective, a quadratic model was obtained by BBD for 3 factors. The optimal biosorption conditions were as follows: the initial concentration of Pb (81.12 mg/L), pH 5.05 and the concentration of biosorbent (0.15 g/L). Under optimal conditions, the maximum adsorption quantity of Pb is 129.60 mg/g. Model validation experiments showed good correlation between the predicted values and experimental values. The performance of adsorption of Pb by genetically engineered S. cerevisiae is clearly improved by response surface methodology optimization. Genetically engineered S. cerevisiae show higher adsorption capacity than other reported biosorbents and may therefore be an effective biosorbent for industrial use.","PeriodicalId":20363,"journal":{"name":"Polish Journal of Environmental Studies","volume":"186 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139241563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to develop an in vitro somatic embryo regeneration method using dissimilar concentrations of H 3 BO 3 and 2,4-D on leaf and stem explants of the Gazipasa bitter melon ecotype. Boron is an essential microelement for plants, and its deficiency or excess creates significant problems in plant development. Within the scope of the study, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mg l -1 concentrations of H 3 BO 3 and 1.0 and 2.0 mg l - 2,4-D were applied to the leaf and stem explants. The results showed 100.00% and 60.00% callus formation on leaf explants after two weeks and stem explants after 3 weeks using MS medium amended with 0.5 mg l -1 H 3 BO 3 and 2.0 mg l -1 2,4-D . Somatic embryo formation percentages were dependent on the type of explant. Their recovery to healthy plantlets was obtained on MS medium.

When the Na 2 SO 4 solution concentration was 18 g/L, the compressive strength of the CMK cement soil reached its maximum value. Additionally, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis of the chemical reactions between the CMK cement soil and Na 2 SO 4 solution and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were used to analyze the phase composition and microstructure of the CMK cement soil, respectively. Thus, the pore distribution of the CMK cement soil could be calculated and classified from a 500× magnification SEM image using Image-ProPlus6.0 analysis software.
