Para la cuantificación de las variables relacionadas con las necesidades básicas insatisfechas, se aplicó una encuesta; por otro lado, para el diagnóstico socioeconómico como el sanitario, se obtuvo información a partir de Censos del Instituto Nacional de Estadísticas, Registros en Infocentros y Centros de Salud. De acuerdo al índice de calidad las aguas de Balsa en Medio y Julián son poco contaminadas”, mientras que las de Severino son “contaminadas”. En 28% de los casos las familias consumen agua hervida, sin cloración, mientras que el 72% la consumen directamente del rio. En 2016 se detectó disentería amebiana, shigelosis, diarreas generalizadas, infecciones por Campylobacter ssp, entre otras. Las comunidades, se ubican dentro de un nivel significativo de pobreza, lo cual dificulta acceder al agua potable. AbstractThe present investigation was conducted with the objectives of determining the quality of the water, categorizing health conditions and the socioeconomic profile of the inhabitants of the Village Balsa en Medio, Julián and Severino of the micro-basin of the Carrizal River. The samples were taken from stored water, determining at the sight: pH, temperature, electrical conductivity and dissolved oxygen; and in the laboratory total solids, nitrates, phosphorus, BOD and fecal coliforms, with values interpreted according to the Environmental Quality Index. For the quantification of the variables related to the unsatisfied basic needs, a survey was applied; on the other hand, for the socioeconomic diagnosis such as health, information was obtained from the Censuses of the National Institute of Statistics, Registries in Infocenters and Health Centers. According to the quality index, the waters of Balsa en Medio and Julián are little polluted, whiles of Severino are contaminated. In 28% of cases, families consume boiled water, without chlorination, while 72% consume it directly from the river. In 2016 amoebic dysentery, shigellosis, widespread diarrhea, and Campylobacter ssp infections were detected, among others. The communities are located within a significant level of poverty, which makes it difficult for them to access drinking water.

Bodies Of Water

The Manzanares River is one of the most important bodies of water in northeastern Venezuela. However, avast influx of industrial and domestic sewage from farm and urban dwellings enters the river without much control by thepertinent authorities. To ascertain the environmental quality of the river 45 sampling sites were set throughout the areacomprising the high, middle, and low-lying areas of the river basin during three different periods, namely, rainy season (2003),transitional period (2003), and dry season (2004). The parameters monitored and measured following APHA-AWWA-WPCFstandards were: temperature (18.3 – 30.0°C), pH (6.04 – 8.88), dissolved oxygen (1.7 – 7.0 mg.L-1k), nitrogen (11 – 188μmol.1-1) and phosphorus compounds (nondetectable – 22 μmol.1-1), silicates (8 – 260 μmol.1-1), and fecal coliforms (1 – 2.4· 107 MPN/100 mL). All parameters yielded differences in the three watersheds and the three seasons. The low-lying arearesulted most affected. Nitrates and nitrites were the prevailing inorganic matter, in consonance with a high presence of fecalcoliforms, profuse decomposed organic matter, and warmer temperatures. Results attest to the poor environmental quality ofthe Manzanares River, the waters of which being unsuited for human exposure.

The great cavern of Santo Tomás (La Gran Caverna de Santo Tomás) in Sierra de Qquemado (Los Órganos) in the province Pinar del Río in Cuba has a special place in Cuban speleology. For a very long period this was the longest cave system in the country. It extends in approximately 46 km of dry and flooded subterranean passages at seven levels, and represents a real paradise for karstologists and speleologists - not all cave branches are completely surveyed yet. The cave is partly tourist, but most of the interesting karst features are located in the wild part of the system. Besides the dimensions of the system and some huge cave formations, there are also recorded fossils from the Pleistocene period. The founder of Cuban speleology Antonio Núñez Jiménez in 1990 reported that when the River Santo Tomás drained during extreme dry periods, local people used captured water from the cave for their domestic use. Farmers used another interesting resource for their needs from this cave – nutrient-rich bat guano to fertilize tobacco fields in the foothills of the surrounding mogotes and in the bottom of dolinas. The cave was early in history populated by the early settlers of Cuba, but in recent years it became famous from the Cuban revolutionary period in the 1950s and 1960s. In the nearby village El Moncada in 1984 they founded a speleological school (Escuela National de Espeleología) which gave a boost to many generations of Cuban speleologists. The cave system generally receives high organic input,although there are some places in with evident lower input. Snakes, scorpions, frogs and crabs are frequent guests in the entrance part of the cave. There are some studies dealing with cave fauna from the great cavern of Santo Tomás in more detail, e.g. on crustaceans, but due to the cave size it is expected to add more species on the biodiversity list, and probably it is possible to discover new species in the cave. During the caving expedition we wanted to point out the potential of this and other caves in the area for microbiology and geomicrobiology research. Microbiology studies are not just important to assess the health status of underground habitat, but also to address more general questions related to nutrient cycling and energy fluxes in subtropical zones as, for example, cave air temperature is about 23°C. During the caving expedition (December 17-29, 2011) in the great cavern of Santo Tomás we demonstrated to Cuban speleologists a novel approach which is used in Slovenia for regular monitoring of human impact in the underground for dripping water, active underground rivers and quality of cave air, and examples of meiofauna sampling from cave pools. Participants for this international expedition in the great cavern of Santo Tomás came from Cuba, Italy and Slovenia. Expedition headquarters were located near the cave entrance in the village El Moncada at the speleological centre “Escuela National de Espeleológia Antonio Núñez Jiménez”. From Slovenia, Andreea Oarga and Janez Mulec joined the expedition. Field work in Cuba was coordinated by Galliano Bressan and Héctor Pérez Jiménez. Some activities during the expedition were accomplished in the frame of the project “Promotion of Slovenian Science” MU-PROM/2011-2-003 supported by the Slovenian Research Agency.

This paper presents the study of integrating the remote sensing technology with in-situ ground observation for assessing the status of water quality in Ca Mau city through the Vietnam Water Quality Index (VN-WQI). The Sentinel-2 image and in-situ surface water samples were collected on 20 February 2020 for this study. The sample results were then specified by samples’ coordination. Besides, Sentinel-2 imaging was processed by radiometric and atmospheric correction, geometric registration, and extracted pixel spectral values from the sample locations. The multiple linear regressions of seven water quality parameters including BOD5, COD, NH4, PO4, TSS, pH, Coliform with surface water’s pixel spectral values from the satellite images were calculated and used to simulate water quality parameters on the satellite image. They were integrated into the VN-WQI to estimate, classify, and evaluate the general surface water quality of the Ca Mau city. The results show that there is a regressive correlation between measured data and image spectral values, and the simulation also well fits with the data with an acceptable error. The surface water quality of Ca Mau city is heavily polluted with almost all water quality parameters recognized at B1 to above B2 level according to the QCVN08-MT:2015/BTNMT. In terms of VN-WQI, the results also illustrate the low quality of surface water and heavy pollution only used for water transportation, not for domestic use. This approach can be a powerful method in spatially monitoring water quality and supporting environment management.

The main objective of this study is to assess nutritional and hygienic qualities of raw milk collected in situ in dairy cattle farms in the region of Guelma, Algeria. For this purpose, a total of 144 milk samples were collected and analyzed to determine their physicochemical characteristics and bacteriological quality. Results showed an acceptable nutritional quality, with a poor bacteriological quality. The average contamination was 11.69 x 105 CFU ml-1 for total flora, against 23.44 x 105 CFU ml-1 for total Coliforms and 7.34 x 104 CFU ml-1 for fecal Coliforms. In addition, 6% of total samples were positive for Clostridium. For the suspected pathogenic flora, Staphylococcus aureus has been detected in 9 samples; however, all milk samples were devoid of Salmonella. The poor quality of milk reflects the dismal conditions of production and the no-control of hygienic practices.

Water is the source of life and an indispensable element of nature for human survival. Over the centuries, the available water resources have undergone constant crisis processes, especially when it comes to water pollution that affects its effectiveness for consumption. The monitoring of the water quality offers qualitative information about the water based on the parameters adopted in the CONAMA Resolution nº. 357/2005 and the calculation IQA NSF of the National Sanitation Foundation (APHA, 2005). The study about the water quality index aims to obtain information about the quality of the hydric resource available in Ribeirão São João in Porto Nacional - Tocantins, which has multiple uses such as: public supply, fishing, leisure, among others. The analysis undertaken to verify the quality of the water adopted procedures for analyzing the parameters of temperature, oxygen, pH, total nitrogen, total phosphorus, fecal coliforms, total solids and turbidity that occurred between the months of August and September 2021. The collection and analysis of water samples showed that the Ribeirão presents acceptable levels within the parameters established by the literature studied and infer that the water quality is considered average for the purposes of capitation and human consumption.

Water quality of the Zayandehrud River, located in an arid region of central part of Iran, was assessed using National Sanitation Foundation Water Quality Index (NSF WQI) calculated by four aggregation methods. Water samples were collected monthly (July 2006 to June 2007) from eight stations in the middle of the river. The parameters required for the NSF WQI calculations including saturation percent of dissolved oxygen, biochemical oxygen demand, fecal coliforms, pH, nitrate, total phosphate, temperature deviation, total dissolved solids and turbidity were measured. According to WQIm which appeared to be more adapted to environmental conditions of the Zayandehrud River, the studied section of the river was considered as “reasonable” to “polluted” water quality. All of the calculated water quality indices showed the lowest values in August. In addition to BOD5 and fecal coliform amounts which were generally high, nitrate and total phosphate concentrations were also considerably increased due to agriculture practices in August. Generally, BOD5 and fecal coliforms are the main water quality subindices that reflect the effect of anthropogenic activities on the water quality of this river.

Governance Quality

The objective of this paper is an attempt to explain the determinants of the lowest governance quality level in one of the communes of the Opolskie Province, Poland. The first stage of the research consisted in developing a commune-level governance quality index in order to measure the quality of governance in the 60 communes of the Opolskie Province. Subsequently, the commune with the lowest score in the index was qualified for the second stage of the research which was based on the extreme case method. The major conclusion from the research is that the commune leader's governance style which allowed him to hold on to power for many terms of office was responsible for generating low governance quality. Furthermore, the low quality of governance was not only the effect of the governance style but also the strategy aimed at remaining in the commune leader office for many terms.
