Numerical simulations of isoproturon transport in conventional soil cultivation with compost obtained by urban biological waste recycling

Strukturna heterogenost tla uzrokovana agrotehničkim zahvatima može imati veliki utjecaj na tok vode i pronos tvari. Glavni cilj rada je bio procijeniti kako prisustvo različitih strukturnih zona u obradivom sloju tla utječe na iniciranje preferencijalnih tokova vode u tlu te procijeniti utjecaj degradacije herbicida izoproturona na dinamiku njegova pronosa. Dugogodišnji podatci s poljskog pokusa (QualiAgro, 2004. – 2010.) na kojem se vrši primjena komposta dobivenog recikliranjem urbanog bio-otpada korišteni su za kalibraciju i verifikaciju numeričkog modela HYDRUS-2D. Tok vode i dinamika izoproturona uspješno su simulirani nakon kalibracije hidrauličkih parametara i temporalne optimizacije brzine degradacije izoproturona. Preferencijalni tokovi su inicirani u međubrazdama uslijed velike poroznosti nastale dodatkom komposta, a kao posljedice usmjeravanja toka okolo zbijenih zona tla. S druge strane, dodatak komposta dobiven recikliranjem kanalizacijskog mulja i zelenog bio-otpada povećao je degradaciju i sorpciju izoproturona u zonama koje su sadržavale najveće količine komposta te se posljedično smanjio i njegov pronos.The structural soil heterogeneity caused by agro-technical measures can have a large impact on water flow and sediment transfer. The main objective of the paper was to evaluate how the presence of different structural zones in the soil’s arable layer affects the initiation of preferential water flows in the soil and to assess the impact of the herbicide isoproturon degradation rate on the dynamics of its transport. Long-period data from the Polish trial (QualiAgro, 2004 - 2010) which applies compost obtained through urban biological waste recycling were used for the calibration and verfication of the numerical model HYDRUS-2D. Water flow and isoproturon dynamics were successfully simulated after the calibration of hydraulic parameters and temporal optimization of the isoproturon degradation rate. Preferential flows occured in interfurrows due to a high compost porosity resulting from the flow’s direction around the soil’s compacted zones. On the other hand, the addition of compost obtained through recycling of sewage sludge and green biological waste increased isoproturon degradation and sorption in areas containing the highest compost amounts, thus reducing its transport

The 7th International Scientific and Professional Conference Water for all is organized to honour the World Water Day by the Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek, European Hygienic Engineering & Design Group (EHEDG), Danube Parks, Croatian Food Agency, Croatian Water, Faculty of Food Technology Osijek, Faculty of Agriculture in Osijek, Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek Department of Biology, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek Department of Chemistry, Nature Park “Kopački rit”, Osijek- Baranja County, Public Health Institute of the Osijek- Baranja County and „Vodovod-Osijek“ -water supply company in Osijek. The topic of World Water Day 2017 was "Wastewater" emphasizing the importance and influence of wastewater treatments on global environment. The international scientific and professional conference Water for all is a gathering of scientists and experts in the field of water management, including chemists, biologists, civil and agriculture engineers, with a goal to remind people about the significance of fresh water and to promote an interdisciplinary approach and sustainability for fresh water resource management. The Conference has been held since 2011. About 300 scientists and engineers submitted 95 abstracts to the 7th International Scientific and Professional Conference Water for all, out of which 33 was presented orally and 62 as posters. 47 full papers were accepted by the Scientific Committee. 38 full papers became the part of the this Proceedings while 9 papers were accepted for publication in Croatian Journal of Food Science and Technology and Electronic Journal of the Faculty of Civil Engineering Osijek - e-GFOS

NEKE RODNE KARAKTERISTIKE POČINITELJA UBOJSTAVA I POKUŠAJA UBOJSTAVA U OBITELJI

Fenomenološke karakteristike počinitelja kaznenih djela važni su temelji za proučavanje uzroka kriminalnog ponašanja, ali i mogućnosti njegove prevencije. U tom smislu članak donosi analizu nekih općih kriminoloških varijabli koje pobliže određuju počinitelje kaznenih djela ubojstava i pokušaja ubojstava članova obitelji. Osim općih osobnih karakteristika analizirane su ekonomske i obiteljske prilike počinitelja, utjecaj opojnih sredstava te samoubojstvo počinitelja. S obzirom na to da je riječ o vrsti ubojstava kod kojih žene kao počinitelji imaju najznačajnije udio, dodatno su analizirane rodne razlike u tim varijablama

Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) Salt Stress Response under Different Soil Organic Matter Content

Use of saline water for crop irrigation leads to rhizosphere salinization, which affects plant element uptake, as well as trace elements (TEs) accumulation in plant tissue. Moreover, imbalance in crop element uptake may reflect on crop productivity. Soil organic matter (SOM) plays an important role in soil biogeochemical processes and especially affects trace element mobility and bioavailability. Therefore, it is an important factor for assessment of plant responses under varying ecological conditions, including salinity. A greenhouse pot experiment was set up to study the effects of saline irrigation and increased SOM on faba bean (Vicia faba L.) salt stress response. Soil from arable land of Croatian coastal region was used for the trial. One half of the bulk of soil provided for the experiment was mixed with commercial peat (4:1) and two trial variants, unmodified and increased SOM content, were investigated. Two weeks after transplanting faba bean seedlings into pots, treatment with two levels of NaCl salinity (50 and 100 mM NaCl, respectively) was applied in a nutrient solution. Control plants were included in the measurements as well. Saline irrigation as well as increased SOM affected certain element accumulation in bean plant (leaf, pod and/or seed), although no significant interaction between rhizosphere salinization and SOM was revealed
