The word flotation is generally understood to mean something that is floating. It is used even in frothing. This presentation focuses on flotation where only microbubbles formed from pressurised dissolved gas raise the solid matter in a liquid to the surface of the liquid in a flotation basin, and the liquid is thereby purified. Flotation is becoming an economical factor in purifying liquids and, above all, waters in internal circulation loops of industrial plants as well as in municipal effluent treatment. The theoretical background of flotation and its applications in WISER FLOTATION will be described in the following. Flotation will also be compared with water purification by sedimentation. Finally, two applications will be described in general outline.

Abstract Educating students and informing clinicians regarding developments in therapy approaches and in evidence-based practice are important elements of the responsibility of specialist academic posts in universities. In this article, the development of narrative therapy and its theoretical background are outlined (preceded by a general outline of how the topic of fluency disorders is introduced to students at an Irish university). An example of implementing narrative therapy with a 12-year-old boy is presented. The brief case description demonstrates how narrative therapy facilitated this 12-year-old make sense of his dysfluency and his phonological disorder, leading to his improved understanding and management of the problems, fostering a sense of control that led ultimately to their resolution.

This chapter provides a critical introduction to the problem of disengagement between governments and citizens. It looks at different arguments for reforming the scope and approach adopted by the state and explains why the way forward has to be through more effective state-citizen cooperation. It also gives a general outline of the three parts of the book. The first part examines the theoretical background and recent development of state-citizen cooperation to find out why more attention should be given to advance it; how its impact should be judged; and what makes it distinctive and complementary to other proposals on improving democratic governance. The second part reviews policies and strategies that have been tried out in different parts of the world to enable citizens and state institutions to work together in an informed and collaborative manner in defining and pursuing the public good. The final part considers how various underlying barriers to effective state-citizen cooperation can be overcome, with reference to specific case examples.

Punishment and justice in the judge’s sentencing decisionsThe article starts with the general presentation of the sociological perspective on the question of justice in the motives of a criminal judge’s sentencing decisions. The question of justice is also analysed in relation to the legitimation of the criminal law and the various theories of punishment, retributive, consequentialist, and mixed. Punishment is analysed as a social and legal institution and as a social process in its various organisational forms. The rationalisation of punishment as a social and legal institution is analysed in relation to the question of human rights, and the question of its effectiveness in social control as a tool in the protective function of the criminal law. The problem of justice is also analysed from a subjective point of view as a question of the just judge. It is not only analysed here as an ethical question, but also as a problem of the methodology of the work of the judge, and a question of organisation of the sentencing process. The article presents the results of research sociological reports concerning the question of the motives of judges’ sentencing in the criminal courts. The article presents the basics of the methodology and results of research in that respect which was carried out in the 1930s B.Wróblewski, W. Świda, 60s and 70s T. Kaczmarek, W. Świda, and the 1980s T. Kaczmarek, J. Giezek and the team, and the latest research carried out by the authors in 2012–2015 J. Królikowska, J. Utrat-Milecki. The authors explain here the general outline of the method of culturally integrated social and legal studies, which they used in their sociological and anthropological research on the criminal justice offi cers judges, prosecutors and probation officers, and which is also the theoretical background of the present article. Finally, the authors present the broader culturally integrated definition of punishment, so as to help to identify the main research questions in socio-legal studies of punishment considered both as a socio-legal institution and a social and legal process which can be identified in different organisational forms.

Now the microfiltration are widely used for treatment of surface waters (sea, river) from the fine suspended solids, colloidal and organic compounds including their preparation for reverse osmosis desalination and for purification of waste and water processing at the creation of closed systems of water use. The process of water purification using microfiltration elements of roll type on the basis of micro porous membranes with cylindrical pores of 0.2 microns size at laboratory and industrial plants was studied. The technology for pretreatment of water prior to microfiltration by coagulant dosing to increase the specific productivity of microfiltration elements and the quality of the filtrate was proposed. The optimal dose of ferric chloride coagulant and the time of contact with water and water quality parameters (color, turbidity, total iron content, the index of density of sediment) were determined. The resulting indicators of the quality of the filtrate for water at input of the reverse osmosis systems were: the average value of the filtrate turbidity - 0.2 NTU, the average SDI15 value -3.5. The obtained high value of specific performance in working mode was 260 l/ (m2×bar×h)( average value).
