    This article outlines the results on the antimicrobial action of electrochemically activated water solutions (anolyte/catholyte). The two types of water solutions are produced in the anode and cathode chamber of the electrolitic cell, respectively. Under laboratory conditions a strain of E. coli DH5, as well as the cell culture and organ suspensions of сlassical swine fever virus (CSF) were treated with the anolyte and the catholyte. By inoculating them with cell cultures the viral presence (the presence of viral antigen) was measured using the immunoperoxidase technique. It was found that anolyte did not affect the growth of the cell culture PK-15; the viral growth in the infection of a cell monolayer with a cell culture CSF virus was affected in the greatest degree by the anolyte in 1:1 dilution and less by other dilutions; whereas the viral growth at the infection of a cell suspension with the cell culture of the CSF virus was affected by the anolyte in dilution 1:1 in the greatest degree, and less by other dilutions; whereas the viral growth at the infection with the CSF in suspension of the cell monolayer was affected by the anolyte in all applied dilutions. Unexpectedly, the stronger biocidal effect of the catholyte was observed when a strain of E. coli DH5 was treated by anolyte and catholyte, respectively. In order to provide additional data about the antiviral activity of the catholyte and the anolyte, and the distribution of H2O molecules according to the energies of hydrogen bonds, the non-equilibrium energy spectrum (NES) and diferential non-equilibrium energy spectrum (DNES) of anolyte and catholyte were measured.

    The electrochemical treatment of water by the electric current is a promising modern approach in the water disinfection technique, resulting in obtaining the electrochemically activated water solutions (catholyte/anolyte) carrying new physical-chemical properties stipulated by changing of the electrochemical characteristics of water as ORP, Eh, pH. The electrochemically activated water solutions – the catholyte and anolyte can be used in medicine for treatment of various bacterial and viral diseases and in disinfection of water. The process of electrochemical water treatment includes several electrochemical processes associated with the transfer in a constant electric field the electrons, ions and other charged particles (electrolysis, electrophoresis, electroflotation, electrocoagulation), the main of which is the electrolysis of water. This article deals with the review of basic physical-chemical processes underlying the electrolysis of water and preparation of electrochemically activated water solutions (catholyte/anolyte) and studying their physical-chemical properties. The virucidal action of the anolyte and catolyte was studied on cell culture and suspensions of classical swine fever (CSF) virus.

    Results of antimicrobial action of electrochemically activated water (anolyte/catholyte) are provided. The two types of water are produced in the anode and cathode chamber of an electrolitic cell, respectively. Under laboratory conditions cell culture and organ suspensions of Classical swine fever virus were treated with anolyte. By inoculating them with cell cultures quality viral presence (presence of viral antigen) was reported using the immunoperoxidase technique. It was found that: anolyte did not affect the growth of the cell culture PK-15; viral growth in the infection of a cell monolayer with a cell culture virus was affected in the greatest degree by anolyte in 1:1 dilution and less by the other dilutions; viral growth in the infection of a cell suspension with cell culture virus was affected by anolyte in dilution 1:1 in the greatest degree, and less by the other dilutions; viral growth in the infection with a virus in organ suspension of a cell monolayer was affected by the anolyte in all dilutions applied. Unexpectedly, stronger biocidal effect of the catholyte was obsrved when E. coli DH5a strain was treated by anolyte and catholyte, respectively. In order to provide additional information about the antiviral activity of the electrochemically activated water, and about the distribution of water molecules according to the energies of the hydrogen bonds, the non-equilibrium energy spectrum (NES) and diferential non-equilibrium energy spectrum (DNES) of anolyte and catholyte is evaluated.   Keywords: anolyte, cell culture, CSF virus, disinfection, hydrogen bond, water, structure, clusters, NES, DNE

    EnsimmÀistÀ kertaa masennuksen vuoksi psykiatrisessa avo-osastohoidossa olevien potilaiden kokemuksia peloista ja niistÀ selviytymisestÀ

    TÀmÀn tutkimuksen tarkoituksena on kuvata ensimmÀistÀ kertaa masennuksen vuoksi psykiatrisessa avo-osastohoidossa olevien potilaiden kokemuksia peloista ja niistÀ selviytymisestÀ. Aineiston keruu tapahtui teemahaastattelemalla 12 psykiatrista potilasta ennen heidÀn kotiutumistaan. Haastattelun teema-alueet nousivat aiemmista tutkimuksista. Haastatteluja tehtÀessÀ osastohoitoajat vaihtelivat kolmesta pÀivÀstÀ viiteen viikkoon. Aineisto analysoitiin induktiivisesti etenevÀllÀ sisÀllön analyysillÀ. Haastateltavien osastohoitoon tulosyynÀ oli masennus ja/tai itsemurhayritys ja/tai vakavia itsemurha-ajatuksia. Haastateltavien kokemukset psykiatrisesta hoidosta olivat pÀÀosin myönteisiÀ. Tulosten mukaan pelot ilmenivÀt epÀvarmuutena ja epÀtietoisuutena osastolle tultaessa. LÀÀkitykseen suhtauduttiin pelolla ja lisÀksi koettiin arvostelun ja kohtaamisen pelkoja. Myös tietÀmÀttömyys tulevaisuudesta pelotti. Peloista selviydyttiin osastohoidon avulla sekÀ perheen, ystÀvien ja hoidollisten keskustelujen tuella. LisÀksi lÀÀkkeet ja masennus sekÀ toiminta vÀhensivÀt pelkoja. Usein pelkojen kohteet ja selviytymiskeinot kietoutuivat yhteen niin, ettÀ samat asiat pelottivat ja olivat selviytymiskeinoina. Esimerkiksi osastohoito, lÀÀkitys, hoitoneuvottelut, keskustelut ja tulevaisuus esiintyivÀt sekÀ pelon kohteina ettÀ selviytymiskeinoina. TÀmÀ tutkimus tuottaa uutta tietoa hoitohenkilökunnan tarpeisiin. Psykiatristen potilaiden pelkoja ja niistÀ selviytymistÀ ei ole aiemmin tutkittu. Pelon tunnistaminen auttaa löytÀmÀÀn potilaalle sopivia selviytymiskeinoja. Eri tutkimusmenetelmin toteutettuna lisÀtutkimusta psykiatristen potilaiden peloista tarvitaan sekÀ perheen ja lÀhiomaisten ettÀ hoitohenkilökunnan nÀkökulmasta.

    ï»żAssessment of the national emission reduction strategies effects for Bulgaria (2020–2029 and after 2030) on surface FPRM and CPRM concentrations

    No full text
    Bulgaria has developed national emission reduction strategies for the period from 2020 to 2029 and the years after 2030, in accordance with EU Directive 2016/2284. Our fundamental aim in this study is to assess the effects of the strategy on the PM near surface concentrations in Bulgaria. All the simulation was done by the modeling system U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) Models-3 for 2008 to 2014 period and with 9 km horizontal grid resolution for the selected region – Bulgaria. The meteorological background that was used is with 1°x1° resolution from the National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Global Analysis Data. There are 5 emission scenarios structured: 2005 emissions (reference period), 2020–2029 emissions projected with existing measures (WEM) and with additional measures (WAM), projected after 2030 WEM and WAM emissions, as parallel calculations were performed with all of the scenarios. Making parallels between the concentrations, with different scenarios simulated, gives the possibility to evaluate the national emission reduction strategies’ effect
