Выполнен анализ законодательного обеспечения нормирования допустимых сбросов загрязняющих веществ в водоемы совместно с механизмом платы за негативное воздействие на водные объекты. Выявлена несогласованность в подходе к нормированию допустимых сбросов загрязняющих веществ и начислению платы за них для объектов I–III категорий негативного воздействия на окружающую среду. Также выявлена правовая неопределенность в порядке разработки и утверждения методик и методов нормирования допустимых сбросов и в вопросах учета природного фона, что повлекло за собой актуальные на данный момент проблемы установления нормативов допустимых сбросов для водопользователей. Описаны подходы к совершенствованию природоохранного законодательства для устранения соответствующих проблем. Необходима гармонизация требований к установлению нормативов допустимых сбросов для различных категорий объектов негативного воздействия на окружающую среду в части более четкого определения перечней загрязняющих веществ, подлежащих нормированию, а также соответствия более жестких требований более опасным категориям объектов. Для устранения экономически и технически недостижимых требований к качеству отводимых сточных вод предлагается законодательное обоснование предельных требований к качеству воды в водных объектах – приемниках сточных вод и к качеству сточных вод. The analysis of the legal support for the regulation of permissible discharges of pollutants into water bodies has been conducted together with the mechanism of payment for the negative impact on water bodies. Inconsistency was revealed in the approach to regulating permissible discharges of pollutants and charging the objects of I – III categories of the negative environmental impact. Also, legal uncertainty was identified in the development and approval of methods and techniques of accounting for the natural background in regulating permissible discharges, which entailed the current problems of establishing regulations for permissible discharges for water users. Approaches to improving the environmental legislation to address related issues are described. There is a need to harmonize the requirements for establishing standards on permissible discharges for various categories of objects of negative environmental impact in terms of a more sound definition of the lists of pollutants subject to regulation, as well as the compliance of more stringent requirements with more hazardous categories of objects. To eliminate economically and technically inaccessible requirements to the quality of effluents discharged, a legislative justification of the limiting requirements to the water quality in receiving water bodies and effluent quality is proposed.

This work presents the evaluation of the environmental impact and compressive strength of Compressed Earth Blocks (CEB) stabilized with hydrated aerial lime and Portland cement. For this, 12 series of blocks stabilized with different proportions of lime and cement were manufactured and the Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) methodology was used. After conducting these assays and simulations, it could be concluded that, using earth and sand typical of the city of Santa Fe (Argentina), stabilized with certain percentages of Portland cement between 5 and 10% in weight, CEB can be produced with sufficient levels of strength for them to be used in load-bearing walls, in this way minimizing the negative environmental impact associated with their manufacturing. It is also concluded that the stabilization with aerial lime does not increase the CEB’s compressive strength and, on the contrary, significantly increases their negative impact on the environment.

Negative Environmental Impact

The purpose of the present chapter is to demonstrate how an econometric application supported by the use of simple software can augment an environmental nonprofit organization’s (ENPO) environmental performance. An ENPO, whose scope of operation is the protection of natural resources, usually deals with the problem of how to reduce its negative environmental impact without sacrificing the positive one resulting from its work. This chapter argues that the application of cointegration analysis on available time series environmental data can offer an indication for the policy decision-making in terms of such a contrast in impacts. If the time series are not cointegrated, then the ENPO can reduce its negative environmental impact without affecting the positive one. If they are cointegrated, then alternative policies have to be designated for dealing with the negative impact.

Upgrading of the national standardization system creates favorable conditions for support and normal promotion of integrated environmental standards as a toolbox for control of the process of minimization of adverse impacts with their concurrent accounting and possible redistribution among the environment elements, i.e. air, water bodies, and soils. In the Russian practice of environmental protection there is no any objective toolbox for comprehensive assessment of the current activities’ negative impact. In outlook adoption of the negative impact minimization mechanism is most probable through the many-year benchmarking with European expertise based on the revealing of cause-eff ect relations in terms of «relative improvement of technique against the attained quality of environment (objectives)». Water bodies are subjected both to direct and indirect negative impact. There is no one method for assessment of water bodies’ environmental safety as a basis for adoption of adequate solutions in water sector. The developed standards on the basis of water/economic activities without considerable emissions to air and to soils propose a toolbox to secure uniform quantitative assessment both the techniques negative impact through assessment of their waste water quality and assessment of water quality of the receiving water body. The developed toolbox provides detection of the «negative impact – water body water quality» causeeffect relations. Integrated criteria proposed in the standards provide ranking and classifying of negative impact objects, detection and identification of the national water/economic best available techniques, implementation of the combined approach in the process of adoption of integrated environmental permissions.

Despite the rapid development of 3D printing technology for cement composites, there are still a number of unsolved issues related to extrusion printing. One of them is proper mix design that allows for meeting criteria related to the printing of cementitious materials, such as pumpability, buildability, consistency on the materials, flowability and workability, simultaneously incorporating sustainable development ideas. In the case of mixes for 3D printing, the modification of the composition which increases the overall performance does not always go hand in hand with the reduction of negative environmental impact. The article presents the results of tests of eight mixtures modified with reactive and inert mineral additives designed for 3D printing. The mixes were evaluated in terms of their rheological and mechanical properties as well as environmental impact. Initial test results were verified by printing hollow columns up until collapse. Later, the differences between the compressive strength of standard samples and printed columns were determined. In order to summarize the results, a multi-faceted analysis of the properties of the mixes was carried out, introducing assessment indicators for its individual parameters. The article proves that appropriate material modification of mixes for 3D printing can significantly reduce the negative impact on the environment without hindering required 3D printing properties.

Negative Environmental Impact

Negative Environmental Impact (NEI) is one of the measures of state control over the level of environmental pollution. The established fee must be paid by all organizations, enterprises and institutions whose activities are associated with a negative impact on nature. Assessing the potential of the tax system that exists today, we have to state that the maximum possible level of the share of revenues from the exploitation of natural resources provided by the tax system as a whole (including direct and indirect taxes) cannot exceed 20%. As for direct taxes on the exploitation of natural resources, they are calculated only by a few percent. The need for reforms in the Russian tax system is obvious. The subject of the study is the types of negative environmental impact. The purpose of the study is to identify ways to improve environmental taxation. Methodology. To study the topic, the rates for emissions of pollutants into the air and into water bodies, and for the disposal of production and consumption wastes according to their hazard class were considered. Results - greening of tax policy is needed, and some of its areas that will completely change the system of waste collection and disposal in Russia are highlighted.

The environmental legislation of the Russian Federation does not fully regulate the impact on the environment during the creation and operation of rocket and space technology. The impact of carrier rockets launches on the environment is currently not standardized: there is no payment for negative environmental impact, there are no impact regulations. The legislation of the Russian Federation does not provide for environmental monitoring of spaceports and rocket stages drop zones. The commissioning of the Vostochny Cosmodrome requires solving the accumulated problems on environmental management issues in the implementation of rocket and space activities. Additional difficulties arise during the operation of the Baikonur Cosmodrome located on the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan due to differences in approaches to the environmental management in the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Russian Federation. The analysis of the regulatory acts of the two states in terms of applicability to the rocket and space activities has shown that the improvement of the regulation of this type of anthropogenic impact on the environment is easier to implement within the Kazakhstan legislation. It would be advisable to have uniform requirements for space complexes in their development and operation within the environmental legislation of the CIS member states.

The article reveals the specifics of policy networks in the public administration system, examines in detail the basic characteristics of networks, as well as the features of the configuration and coordination mechanisms inherent in various types of network coalitions. The author examines networks in the context of their positive and negative impact on the quality of public administration, drawing attention to the conditions for the degeneration of network associations that allow the state, together with non-state actors, to solve socially significant problems into structures that threaten the integrity of the political system. In the context of the author's definition of networks in public administration, the article examines their structural components, reveals the features of the position of network actors, describes the operational functions of networks (exchange of information, financial resources and dissemination of knowledge), emphasizes the importance of the problem of closeness for their functioning. Particular attention is paid to the positioning of state institutions in networks, the author reveals the reasons for their use of a predominantly principal-agent mechanism for coordinating interaction with nongovernment participants, which reduces the degree of their freedom in the network, but at the same time guarantees the observance of socially significant interest in the implementation of programs and projects. The article also discusses in detail the configurations of networks and the specifics of their activities at all stages of decision-making and implementation, emphasizes the opportunities and threats associated with the activities of certain types of network alliances. The author emphasizes that the negative potential of network structures is manifested in a situation of divergence of political and managerial orientations of power and society's expectations against the background of weak institutions and lack of public control over political players, which leads to the gradual replacement of public administration by the rule of latent network groups.

Purpose A social learning management system (social LMS) is a tool which favors social interactions and allows scholastic institutions to supervise and guide the learning process. The inclusion of the social feature to a “normal” LMS leads to the creation of educational social networks (EduSN), where the students interact and learn. The advantages derived from an augmented student-student interaction are counterbalanced by the difficulty to control the quality of the information. For this reason, the purpose of this study is to understand who is a source of reliable and high quality knowledge among the students. Design/methodology/approach The authors suggest to categorize the actions of the students within roles where the most natural formal role regards the academic performance of a student. Within the EduSN, a student can produce information − social contribution role − and evaluate the contents provided by other peers − social judge role. Aside from the free production, it provides a publication workflow which allows to certify and improve the quality of the material created by the peers. The publication workflow naturally leads to the definition of two additional roles – the editorial and leader roles. Findings The paper provides a new definition of expertise within a social LMS, where the key feature of an expert in an EduSN is to improve the quality and quantity of the knowledge flow in the network. The indicators which stem from the roles naturally lead to the definition of the figure of the anti-expert. Originality/value At variance with the spectrum of values usually associated with expertise (which ranges from novice to expert), in a social LMS, it becomes clear the need of the definition of a new figure – the anti-expert, who has a negative impact on the overall knowledge flow of the EduSN.

Contemporary industry is beginning to realize the negative impact that they have on the environment in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, destruction of natural habitats, hazardous waste emissions, etc. This new found consciousness has prompted a second look on part of the manufactures at how modern manufacturing practices can be modified so as to be more environmentally friendly.  Environmental impact of manufacturing can be minimized in various ways. In this context, management is often called upon to provide active leadership in managing their facilities so as to minimize their environmental impact.  Some examples of such activities include green supply chains and design for disassembly.  Such activities help to create a closed loop product lifecycle that is required to reduce the amount of raw material used and the amount of waste created by production. Similarly using design for manufacturability principles aid in the minimization of raw material used and waste generated as well.   Also, facilities are starting to move away from reactive approaches to environmental issues.  They are now using proactive approaches and value seeking approaches where the environmental issues are dealt with before they are created.  This paper presents an overview of environment conscious manufacturing practices that seek to minimize the negative environmental impact of manufacturing. Being a literature review, this paper primarily deals with state of the art in current practice pertaining to green manufacturing.
