Impaired Biofilm Development on Graphene Oxide-Metal Nanoparticle Composites by Lange A, Kutwin M, Zawadzka K, Ostrowska A, Strojny-Cieślak B, Nasiłowska B, Bombalska A, Jaworski S

“…Owing to their complex structure, in which bacteria are embedded in the extracellular matrix, they are extremely challenging to eradicate, especially since they can inhabit both biotic and abiotic surfaces. This study aimed to create an effective antibiofilm nanofilm based on graphene oxide-metal nanoparticles (GOM-NPs).Methods: To create nanofilms, physicochemical analysis was performed, including zeta potential (Zp) (and the nanocomposites stability in time) and size distribution measurements, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), and atomic force microscopy (AFM) of the nanofilm surfaces. …”

Implementation of the polluter pays principle: comparative legal issues by Vadim A. Vinogradov, Larisa V. Soldatova

“…It includes several elements: not only the obligation to compensate for the harm caused in full, but also to take all necessary measures to prevent the possibility of harm at all stages of the activity, including design, construction, etc. The analysis of international legal regulation, as well as the regulatory legal acts of different countries shows that this principle is implemented in the legislation of many countries and an effective mechanism for its application is created in developed countries. …”

Impact of Urban Waterfront Green Space Landscape Elements on Public Health Behaviors Based on Restorative Perception by Yi WU, Hongfei QIU, Xinyue LUO, Yaping HU

“…Behavioral observations are also employed to document specific instances of public engagement in restorative, physical, and social activities within these sites. Ultimately, data analysis methods, including multiple regression analysis and mediation effect analysis, are applied to explore the interrelationships among landscape elements, restorative perceptions, and health behaviors.ResultsResearch findings are summarized as follows. 1) Natural landscapes significantly enhance the public’s restorative perception, while a high proportion of artificial elements has the opposite effect. …”
