A Poluição da água é qualquer alteração das propriedades físicas, químicas e biológicas que possa causar prejuízo à saúde, bem-estar das populações e, ainda, comprometer a sua utilização para fins agrícolas, industriais, comerciais, recreativos e, especialmente, a existência da fauna aquática. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse trabalho foi mensurar os parâmetros físicos, químicos e biológicos, totalizando 20 variáveis em um período sazonal de 4 coletas (inverno 2011, primavera 2011, verão 2012 e outono 2012) da água superficial da bacia hidrográfica do córrego Moeda, em Três Lagoas/MS, e com isso, enquadrar sua qualidade embasado na resolução do CONAMA 357/2005. A área da bacia, aproximadamente 268,39 Km², encontra-se em forte mudança ocupacional, alterando seu principal uso de pastagem para monocultura de eucalipto, que em 2012, ocupava mais de 52% da área total da bacia. Partindo disso, os resultados ilustraram o enquadramento médio restritivo do uso da água foi na classe 3, que preconiza a limitação de suas águas para “abastecimento doméstico, após tratamento convencional; irrigação de culturas arbóreas e forrageiras; dessedentação animal”. Os parâmetros químicos ferro e alumínio e o parâmetro físico cor, foram os que provocaram maiores implicações na qualidade da água. Assim, recomenda-se que o monitoramento da qualidade seja usado para futuros planejamentos e ações para evitar aumento da contaminação das águas superficiais na bacia do córrego Moeda. Seasonal physical, chemical and biological quality of surface waters of the Moeda stream watershed in Três Lagoas/MS A B S T R A C TWater pollution is any change in the physical, chemical and biological properties that may cause harm to the health and well-being of the populations and also jeopardize their use for agricultural, industrial, commercial and recreational purposes and, in particular, the existence of aquatic fauna. Thus, the objective of this work was to measure the physical, chemical and biological parameters, totaling 20 variables in a seasonal period of 4 collections (winter 2011, spring 2011, summer 2012 and autumn 2012) of the surface water of the watershed of the stream Moeda, in Três Lagoas/MS, and with that, to frame its quality based on the resolution of CONAMA 357/2005. The area of the watershed, approximately 268.39 km², is undergoing a strong occupational change, changing its main pasture use to eucalyptus monoculture, which in 2012 occupied more than 52% of the total area of the watershed. From this, the results illustrated the restrictive average framework of water use was in class 3, which advocates the limitation of its waters to "domestic supply, after conventional treatment; irrigation of tree and forage crops; animal welfare ". The chemical parameters iron and aluminum and the physical parameter color were the ones that caused the greatest implications in water quality. Thus, it is recommended that quality monitoring be used for future planning and actions to avoid increased surface water contamination in the watershed of the stream Moeda.Keywords: Multiparameter, Bathing, Framework, CONAMA.

Water quality is an index of health and well being of a society. The pollution of water bodies is one of the areas of major concern to environment. In the present investigation an attempt has been made to evaluate the physical, chemical and microbiological parameters of Jhajjar rivulet of J&K. The study has been carried out by taking water samples at three different sites of the rivulet i.e. site 1, site 2 and site3. During the study, the physico-chemical parameters like pH, temperature, colour, total hardness, BOD, COD, DO, TDS and TSS in the water samples were studied. In microbiological examination, the presence of coliform in the water samples were studied.  It has been observed that there was a pollution load mostly at site 3 and slightly at site 2, it may be due to the release of huge quantities of sewage, effluent and manmade activities at the respective sites but the water from all the sites was found free from microbial contamination. It was concluded that water at site 1 is suitable for drinking as compared to site 2 and site 3 of the rivulet.

Abstract. The Western Rif is a rural area characterized by rock extraction and agriculture. As a result, the surface of the land in the region is exposed to different sources of contamination which alters the quality of the soil. Leaching of the soil and runoff to surface water may impact the quality of surface water used by local people. A mapping of the land use by GIS of an area located at the level of the western Rif was carried out then an analysis of the interactions between the uses of the land; the practices, the quality of the surface layer of the soil and the quality of the water were made. Thanks to the processing of satellite images and to samples on the ground and assays of the physic-chemical parameters of soils and water (T °, pH, MES, turbidity, Nitrate, nitrite, phosphorus, nitrogen, etc.). The results of these analyzes revealed that these activities lead to an alteration in the quality of the surface layer of the soil, its characterization of which changes depending on the land use. Surface water is endowed with the components identified in the soil. This reveals that land use has generally negative physical and chemical impacts on surface waters.

Hypothetical Explanation

Electric light in buildings may provide some health benefits; however, for most people these benefits are likely to be small. It is possible for electric lighting to cause health problems, if there is too little light or there is glare, but for the most part there is good guidance available and these problems can be avoided. The quality of the lit environment can have a psychological impact and this may in turn impact well-being. A starting point for this is perceived adequacy of illumination. Related lighting metrics are examined and a hypothetical explanation is suggested.

The article examines the depiction of gratitude and related events in Latvian folklore through comparative evaluation. Gratitude is considered in a psychological context, comparing the attitude expressed in folklore with the findings of modern scientific research. Gratitude is a concept that is usually associated with a relationship or a benefit, it is most often aimed outwards, dedicated to someone else, but at the same time, it creates a pleasant feeling within the person. In modern psychology, gratitude is receiving more and more attention from researchers because its manifestations stimulate the formation of positive emotions and contribute to the improvement of the person’s overall well-being. Research and clinical studies in psychotherapy confirm that gratitude plays an important role in improving mental health and reducing depressive, destructive feelings. In turn, neuroscience research shows the potential of a grateful and positive attitude in strengthening psycho-emotional health and well-being in general. In Latvian folklore, gratitude is depicted as an important part of ritual events, which helps to ensure a positive, balanced connection with the forces of nature, gods, and society. In folklore, the importance of gratitude is emphasised more when building family relationships or accepting various situations and occurrences in life. In both psychological research and the practice of systemic therapy, as well as in folklore, gratitude appears as one of the most important values of interpersonal connection, which promotes the formation of harmonious relationships. Similar to the opinions of psychology, the folk world views emphasise the motivational role of gratitude in improving the quality of human life and health in general.

Two trials in different agricultural farms were carried out from October 2014 to June 2015 with the aim to assess the advantages linked to the substitution of the low density polyethylene (LDPE) films for soil mulching with the Mater-Bi<sup>®</sup> biodegradable films in the strawberry cultivation under tunnel in Campania. Lifetime of biodegradable mulch and influence of type of mulch on the yield and the quality of cvs Sabrina and Fortuna were evaluated. Plants were cultivated on mulched, raised beds, high 40 cm from bottom soil. Mater-Bi<sup>®</sup> film was 20 <span>µ</span>m thick while LDPE film was 50 mm thick. The physical-chemical parameters (firmness, pH, total soluble solid content, titratable acidity and skin colour) and some bioactive compounds (total polyphenols, flavonoids, anthocyanins, antioxidant activity) of fruits were determined by three samplings effected in consecutive months (from March to May 2015) of the harvest cycle. Biodegradable film guaranteed an effective mulch along the whole strawberry cycle (9-10 months including the time of drawing up of film). Yields of cv Sabrina on LDPE was 18% higher than those on Mater-Bi<sup>®</sup> while the opposite was detected in cv Fortuna (+10%). The physical-chemical parameters of fruits were not modified by the mulches. The content of the bioactive compounds, instead, resulted, in each time of sampling, significantly higher in fruits picked on Mater-Bi<sup>®</sup> based film.

Human health and well-being largely depend on a sufficient standard of living, educational opportunities and participation in social and social life, and successful professional activities. It should be recognized that in the surrounding society it is in these areas of life that people with disabilities and disabilities are especially disadvantaged, but not neglected by society and the state. Currently, in the Russian Federation, the State programme Accessible Environment is being implemented to support and assist persons with disabilities and disabilities, with the aim of creating legal, economic and institutional conditions conducive to the integration of persons with disabilities into society and improving their quality of life. The programme contains three subprogrammes that are effectively implemented in modern society, namely: (1) Ensuring the accessibility of priority facilities and services in priority areas of life of persons with disabilities and other mobile populations; (2) Improvement of the system of comprehensive rehabilitation and habilitation of persons with disabilities; (3) Improvement of the state system of medical and social expertise. The organizers of the Abilimpix social movement were able to demonstrate to people with disabilities their individual capabilities and prospects for accessibility to all types, forms and means of obtaining knowledge and professional skills, their effective application in practice.
