According to some studies, most of the waste generated has been disposed without any waste treatment in open dumps and landfills creating unhygienic conditions, affecting public health, environment and economy of a country. This project summarizes the existing knowledge regarding the economic impact of waste management. A case study is added at the end which shows the comparison between provinces of Alberta and British Columbia. It was noted that waste management process produces new jobs and with increase in Gross Domestic Product (GDP), waste generation also increases. Sustainable system is more efficient in overall development of a country and waste diversion is the most preferable method for waste management.

This article is designed to compare self -expression and spiritual development through Dance and Poetic Mysticism. The question arises, how different theoretical foundation can reach to psychological catharsis. It is supposed that a mystic journey is going to be closed with catharsis. During this journey, the main character (the dancer, the reader or spectacular) will undergoes Discovery and Reversal to reach the catharsis, which means cleansing, purging, or purification. Seymour Feshbach, key proponent of the catharsis theory in communication research, separates three conceptions of catharsis: The Dramatic, the Clinical, and the Experimental models. The thought behind catharsis theory is that feelings formed and create stress if not expressed. Releasing emotions declines the tension in the person so they have less violent and anxiety. The Dramatic and Clinical models are emphasized on change, while differing in cathartic experience, in the degree of cognitive representation caused, and in the interpersonal context. The purpose of this study is to give a psychological study of mysticism by reviewing The Seven Valleys of spirituality in Conference of the Birds. Attar has described the seven stages of spirituality in this book as the tools of discovery and rehearsal: The Valley of Quest, The Valley of Love, The Valley of Wisdom, The Valley of Detachment, The Valley of Unity, The Valley of Amazement, and The Valley of Annihilation. To free from belongings, to release from the self, these seven valleys is suggested by Attar to be passed. self is one of the biggest obstacles in human life. In the eyes of the mystics, you must ―Quest‖ first. Attar is a mystic who has put \"Annihilation\" in the last place. Sober die has not a tragic meaning but means of getting free of self and join the real source of nature. On the other side, Biodanze is also another journey that can interpreted by theory of catharsis. Toro believes that when five categories are entirely developed within the individual, people (the dancer) can experience inner stability and emotional health. He named these categories as Vitality, Sexuality, Creativity, Affection, and Transcendence. Journey in Biodanza is started by vital impetus and happiness to be alive. The dancer will reach to catharsis when he connects to nature and feel part of a greater totality. Keywords— Mystic, Catharsis, Biodanza, Conference of Birds.

The experiment was conducted at the Maritsa Vegetable Crops Research Institute with 10 determinate tomato accessions (five large-fruited and five for processing) in two consecutive years (2016-2017). The productivity per plant, number and average fruit weight was recorded for two harvest periods – in the end of July and mid of August. The data indicated that reduced irrigation during growing season influenced more strong productivity per plant especially in the second harvest period. The decrease of the yield in two studied tomato groups was 59.3% and 54.2% respectively. In the first harvest period the reduction of yield was 46.3% and 27.2%. Moreover the applied stress had the weaker negative effect on average fruit weight. In both studied tomato groups, the reduction of fruit weight below 30% was observed. The studied large-fruited tomato accessions showed low drought tolerance compared to the tomato accessions for processing. Three-way analysis of variance showed that watering regime influenced mainly the productivity per plant and fruit set while the average fruit was affected by genotype. Based on the present study tomato accessions BG 985 and BG Solaris suitable for breeding of drought stress were selected.","PeriodicalId":38029,"journal":{"name":"Stred","volume":"31 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81443029","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
