Abstract Rivers are hydromorphologically assessed in line with the Water Framework Directive. In order to assess the quality of the Parsęta River environment, the River Habitat Survey method was applied. The research studies, conducted in June 2016, provided an overview of hydromorphological issues, and also covered measurements and laboratory analyses on the quality of its waters. There were 24 measuring sections selected along the whole river. The selection of these sections took into account the representativeness of genetically various types of river valley, its size and discharge, and the variability of anthropogenic pressure. The assessment showed that the Parsęta River varies in natural quality (its HQA index ranged from 17 to 61) and that the modification of its valley is variable but generally low (its HMS index ranged from 0 to 33). Seventy-nine percent of the analysed sections were classified to the second (II) and third (III) hydromorphological classes, 8% to the first (I), and 13% to the fourth (IV). The central section of the Parsęta River has the highest degree of naturalness and the lowest degree of transformation. The river valley sections of kettle-hole origin are more transformed than those of fluvial origin. The quality of the Parsęta River waters assessed on the grounds of their physicochemical parameters indicates that the river is in good condition. The individual river water parameters are most often within the first (I) and second (II) classes. Any instances of the quality of waters being below the “good” level are due to phosphate concentrations exceeding the second (II) class and are contained within a 15-km stretch of the river below Białogard. A river section with a high degree of hydromorphological naturalness has the worst quality of waters.

The emotional state of an employee of any enterprise influences both the efficiency of work performance and the quality and stability of the final result. Management of production processes, taking into account the monitoring of the emotional state of the employee, is a rather urgent task that allows minimizing the risks of deviations from the specified level of product quality and production safety. However, the quality of the assessment of this influence is currently subjective and is based both on the personal opinion and competences of the expert conducting the monitoring, and on the tools used by him for assessing the emotional state. At the same time, the use of modern intelligent automated methods and tracking systems will reduce the distortion of expert judgment. Creation of an expert system for analyzing the emotional state of employees of an enterprise will make it possible to recognize the emotions of a particular employee with a fairly high degree of accuracy, accumulate a system of knowledge and generate analytical conclusions and predictions of behavior based on it, compile an emotional portfolio of each employee and draw conclusions about the ability to perform a certain type of work and current states. This paper presents the concept of an algorithm of an expert system (hereinafter referred to as ES), which is able, on the basis of the data obtained on the individual methods of non-verbal expression of an employee’s emotions, to assess the influence of his emotions on the quality of his work. The article reflects the results obtained in the framework of the implementation of the Agreement on research No. 05.601.21.0019 dated November 29, 2019.

One of the three basic components of assessing ecological state is the determination of hydromorphological conditions occurring in river channels and valleys. In this paper an effort has been taken to check usefulness for such evaluations River Habitat Survey (RHS) – British research method, which is used in Poland for classification of ecological quality of surface waters from the view-point of their actual hydromorphological state. The possibilities of using this method in field teaching of geography students were checked. For this purpose, the RHS method was modified and adapted to the needs of field exercises. Research was conducted in Nida Riverside region, near Pińczów (świętokrzyskie voivodeship, Poland). Collected material makes it possible to calculate synthetic indicator HMS (Habitat Modification Score) which allow the hydromorphological state of a river to be presented in numerical form and assessing river modification by human activities. The research released advantages of the RHS in field teaching of students. The method can also be used in field exercises with secondary school students.

Background: Acharacteristic feature of cancer is, among other things, that even after successful oncological treatment, the patient cannot close this chapter of life and the experience of being acancer patient. In oncology there is no unambiguous definition of apatient as ahealthy person. Methods: The study covered agroup of 20 people. In the con- ducted tests the diagnostic survey method was introduced. The technique of individual in-depth interviews was used. The re- spondent could fully express his or her own feelings, emotions, thoughts and experiences. Results. The respondents stated that positive emotions ap- peared with the completion of treatment, but indicated that the feelings were not related to the sense of healing but only to the completion of tiring therapeutic procedures. Some respondents complained about the feeling of chronic fatigue. Fatigue was not only related to the physical sphere, although everyone con- firmed that the side effects of the therapy persisted for some time. The respondents paid more attention to mental fatigue, which had various forms, e.g.: anxiety about possible relapse; functional losses; feeling of loss caused by radical treatment. Out of 20 respondents, 4 persons indicated aloss of health, es- pecially the sense of joy and happiness, self-esteem, self-con- fidence, social contacts, family and time. Conclusions: The research group consisted of 20 respondents, which limits the possibility of formulating generalized con- clusions, but indicates various directions of possible improve- ment and, most importantly, shows how the thinking about can- cer can be changed.

The home heating systems as well as the food industry require a high degree of water purification. In the aims of the increasing of the quality of technical and potable water the experiments on the determination of the rigidity of water have been carried out in the fourth districts of Kazan after the addition to the water samples of β-alanine and l-asparagine as the agents for the complex formation with calcium and magnesium salts. The obtained results showed that the chosen amino acids able to reduce the rigidity and increase the quality of waters in 1.10-1.22 time. The calculated heats of combustion and formation of complexes of calcium and magnesium with alanine and asparagine confirm the conducted experimental results on their stability. Such experimental results prompted us to calculate the heat of combustion (DсH°) and formation (DfH°) of complexes of calcium and magnesium with the mentioned above amino acids [Met(amino acid)2, DсH°, DfH° (kJ mol-1± 0.5 % , respectively), number of valence electrons (N-g)] in according to the scheme of thermochemical research. It has been suggested to introduce the above mentioned amino acids or synthesized on their base little peptides into sorption-filters at the water preparation process.Forcitation:Ovchinnikov V.V., Kulakov A.A.

Hydromorphological Quality

The river habitat survey (RHS) system is a method used to assess the physical features and quality of rivers, which was developed to assist in the conservation and recovery of riverside habitats. The RHS takes into account the need to characterize areas of intervention from a hydromorphological point of view, in order to introduce corrective measures aimed at restoring degraded sections and habitats, and increasing local biodiversity. In this paper, we present the results obtained from the application of the RHS methodology to the River Selho, in the municipality of Guimarães (Portugal). The transects that we defined were strongly influenced by anthropic actions that have modified the riverside habitats, the artificialization of the river channel, and the urban occupation of the banks. Taking into account the results, we can point out the main problems that currently affect the hydromorphological quality of the transects analyzed in the River Selho, as well as identify the originating factors: the excessive silting of the watercourse; morphometric changes, with an emphasis on the narrowing and modification of the channel and the banks; as well as the massive destruction of the riparian zone. This study shows that the application of the RHS methodology is a useful tool for the management of degraded riverside areas.
