Green Transportation

Abstract A relevant and practical research object is analysed in the article – the implementation resolution of green transportation and the benefits of using such means. In this article, object is analysed from the interdisciplinary position, i.e. from the perspective of transportation, one of the logistical subsystems, and sustainable environment. The transportation department is undoubtedly an important guarantor of economic and industrial development. Despite the worldwide importance of transportation in everyday activities, the transportation also poses the risk for human health and life quality, for it is one of the biggest consumer of oil products and significantly contributes towards air pollution. Despite many theoretical and empirical researches, Šiauliai region still lacks an approach towards the implementation possibilities and studies revealing the benefits of green transportation. A comparative analysis has been performed by using the survey data, collected from 402 workers, responsible for transportation, working for Šiauliai regional companies. According to the results of the research for implementation situations of green transport in Šiauliai regional companies, the representatives of regional companies understand the importance of green transport, and more and more companies aim to reduce the environmental risk and to become more competitive. Integrated transportation by combining several means of transport, cargo consolidation by combining small orders and big orders, and ecological driving are the green transportation measures implemented most in regional companies. The typical benefits of green transport are increased environmental friendliness and improved relationship with consumers.

Air Exposure

Ambient air pollution and its exposure has been a worldwide issue and can increase the possibility of health risks especially in urban areas of developing countries having the mixture of different air pollution sources. With the increase in population, industrial development and economic prosperity, air pollution is one of the biggest concerns in Pakistan after the occurrence of recent smog episodes. The purpose of this study was to develop a land use regression (LUR) model to provide a better understanding of air exposure and to depict the spatial patterns of air pollutants within the city. Land use regression model was developed for Lahore city, Pakistan using the average seasonal concentration of NO2 and considering 22 potential predictor variables including road network, land use classification and local specific variable. Adjusted explained variance of the LUR models was highest for post-monsoon (77%), followed by monsoon (71%) and was lowest for pre-monsoon (70%). This is the first study conducted in Pakistan to explore the applicability of LUR model and hence will offer the application in other cities. The results of this study would also provide help in promoting epidemiological research in future.

Students’ physical quality “jumping" in non-physical education university is discussed in the article. Complementary characteristics of "jumping ability" described by scientists in different years are given and literary sources of scientists on this problem are analyzed. The article provides the results of practical research based on the Abalakov’s test for measuring jumping ability among students at elective physical culture lessons and a comparative analysis of the test results is presented. Sport that shows the highest jumping ability as an important component of harmony in human motor actions is revealed. Activities at University sports clubs are recommended.

<p>Este trabalho teve como objetivo zonear os níveis de deterioração ambiental na paisagem entre os anos de 2001 e 2012, adotando os critérios da ecodinâmica nos municípios que compõe o polo de desenvolvimento agroindustrial do Alto Piranhas. Foram realizadas análises envolvendo a dinâmica da paisagem e da vulnerabilidade ambiental. A metodologia utilizada na pesquisa foi baseada em localizações pontuais, que inclui o processo de selecionar e combinar, através de procedimento de álgebra de mapas disponíveis em um SIG, cada variável geográfica contém diferenciação espacial e a combinação entre elas promove a subdivisão do espaço geográfico em regiões equiproblemáticas. Tomando-se por base as superposições dos mapas geológico, geomorfológico e pedológico foi efetuado o mapa de zoneamento ambiental, com informações que permitiram identificar as condições do meio natural e suas aptidões. Esses fatores foram comparados entre si, conforme a importância atribuída a elas. Os resultados indicaram que as áreas centrais concentram as classes com maiores riscos ambientais, como as instáveis (risco ambiental entre 60 e 80%), e as de instabilidade emergente (risco maior que 80. Já nas áreas distribuídas em toda a área de estudo encontra-se as áreas com risco ambiental entre 40 e 60% (instabilidade moderada). Com base na análise, percebe-se que a área de estudo possui um tênue equilíbrio por estar localizado em ambiente semiárido que pode ser rompido com facilidade com a intensificação das atividades agroindustriais.</p><p align="center"><strong><em>Environmental zoning polo agro industry development of Alto Piranhas, </em></strong><strong>Paraíba State</strong><strong><em></em></strong></p><p class="HOLOS-ResumoeAbstract"><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>This study aimed to zone the levels of environmental deterioration in the landscape between the years 2001 and 2012, adopting the criteria of ecodynamics municipalities that make up the hub of agro-industrial development of the Alto Piranhas. Analyzes involving the dynamics of landscape and environmental vulnerability were performed. The methodology used in this research was based on specific locations, including the process of selecting, combining, through map algebra available in a GIS procedure, each geographical variable contains spatial differentiation, and the combination between them promotes the geographical subdivision of space equiproblemáticas regions. Taking as a basis the superimposition of geological, geomorphological and pedological maps was made environmental zoning map, with information that allowed the identification of the conditions of the natural environment and their skills. These factors were compared according to the importance assigned to them. The results indicated that the central areas concentrate the classes with larger environmental hazards such as unstable (environmental risk between 60 and 80%), and the emerging instability (greater than 80 risk. Already on distributed throughout the area of study areas located the areas with environmental risk between 40 and 60% (moderate unrest). Based on the analysis, it is noticed that the study area has a fine balance to be located in semiarid environment that can be broken easily with the intensification of agribusiness activities.</p>

The article deals with methodological possibilities for rhetorical reconstruction to address challenges in linguo-ecology, ecology of the text in particular. Rhetorical reconstruction is an analytical procedure that identifies the mechanisms of text formation by describing ways and devices to realize inventive, dispositional and elocutionary strategies. Rhetorical reconstruction serves as a tool for diagnosing the effectiveness of the rhetorical type of the text and an indicator of its environmental friendliness – the ability to create a favorable information and communication environment for the addressee. The opposite effect of the rhetorical reconstruction lies in its ability to identify zones of environmental risk of the text arising from violations of rhetorical text-forming requirements. The material of the research is the text of the President of Russia addressing to the nation regarding a pension reform. The reconstruction of the inventive strategy of text formation has identified such zones of environmental risk in the text under study as the implicitness of the practical purpose of the speaker and non-verbalization of the thesis. The reconstruction of the dispositional strategy signals the risks in the area of argumentation. The reconstruction of the elocutionary strategy reveals the risk zone arising from the ambiguous reference of the pronoun «we» as a device of establishing interpersonal relations. The results of the study indicate that implementation of each rhetorical strategy of text formation poses its own zones of environmental risk, and identification and correction of those can enhance the environmental friendliness and thus the effectiveness of the text.
