Oppfølging av forurensningssituasjonen i Sulitjelma gruvefelt, Fauske kommune Undersøkelser i 2011-2012

De siste forurensningsbegrensende tiltakene i Nordgruvefeltet ble avsluttet i november 2004 og fikk sin virkning våren 2005 da det vannfylte gruvesystemet fikk overløp. I tiden etter har pH-verdiene i overløpsvannet sunket noe, mens konsentrasjonene for kobber og aluminium har vist en økende tendens. Da vannmengdene ut av gruva de to siste år var betydelig høyere enn i de foregående 3 år, har dette ført til økt metallbelastning på Langvann. En har ennå ikke kunnet observere noen vesentlige endringer i forurensningstilstanden ved utløpet av Langvann. Siste år ble transporten fra det vannfylte Nordgruvefeltet anslått til ca. 15 tonn kobber og 17 tonn sink, mens transporten ved utløpet av Langvann ble anslått til 22 tonn kobber og 24 tonn sink

Aneks – Scenariusze zajęć

Aneks zawiera scenariusze zajęć, nagrodzone i wyróżnione w ramach konkursu „Twórz zespoły – zaangażuj – stwórz warunki uczenia się”, który odbył się na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim w ramach projektu Twórczy Uniwersytet. Są to: „Wyzwolić wyobraźnię – słuchowisko jako gatunek radia artystycznego” J. Bachury-Wojtasik, „Disruption, czyli jak zmienić świat emocji klienta” Kingi Stopczyńskiej i „Telewizja internetowa” Krzysztofa Tonna. Mogą one stanowić bogate źródło inspiracji i dowodzą, że na Uniwersytecie Łódzkim stosuje się dobre twórcze praktyki

The Willie J. Spencer Eco-Retirement Village

The purpose of this project was to synthesize two ideas; the dire need for innovative, elder-care environments, and eco-villages. The project investigates the elderly population dilemmas facing the nation, the current systems in elder care, and some of the innovations emerging in this area. The findings are daunting. The elder population is growing exponentially, and the current systems, many in jeopardy, barely accommodate existing needs. Accommodating existing needs is only part of the problem. The needs of the elderly must be provided for in an innovative, loving, caring, and nurturing environment. The study goes on to investigate eco-villages. Eco-villages are an old idea that has reemerged in the past ten years or so. They are becoming popular alternative living environments for many seeking to live in an ecological and environmentally sensitive manner. Part of the eco-village concept is a communal working village. In other words, all the members of the village participate in the operation and function of the village. Everyone pitches in to garden, cook, build - anything that needs to be done for the village to function and produce a self-sufficient economy. By examining the reality of the elder-care dilemma, and combining it with the concept of an eco-village, the project proposes a solution, which is an eco-retirement village. One of the major components of this idea is for enough people, village residents and volunteers, to donate enough time and work towards the operation of the village to offset the costs, allowing low-income elders an alternative to nursing homes. Time and work donated to the village are banked as hours that can go towards monthly rents/fees for residents to live there. Synthesizing these two ideas revealed some viable possibilities and presented some obstacles. A more intensive study would need to be conducted to determine if society would embrace these alternative ideas, and if the banking hours system would be enough to offset the costs of operating the village and providing for the members and staff
