Ecotoxicological Models

We present a general framework for measurements and optimization of differential-algebraic models. Moreover, we propose an application of the considered methodology in ecotoxicology. The differential-algebraic models can be used to describe different ecotoxicological relations. One of them is the influence of the environmental pollution on the Daphnia's movement characteristics. Changes in these characteristics can be used as a tool for assessment of neurotoxicity. The camera-based measurement and optimization system enable us to obtain the differential-algebraic ecotoxicological relations in a fully automated way.

Ultimate Purpose

The ultimate purpose of Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) is to prevent harmful influence of business activities on the environment. Each company should be obligated to adhere to it since environmental pollution is a serious threat for the future of mankind. Based on this urgent need, ecological innovation appeared. It purports to make a transition from a harmful business to a more accountable one. Hence, the contribution aims at studying how different, most developing countries, have been approaching and practicing CER to propose a more practical and general framework strategy with a qualitative methodology encompassing common accepted steps to drive improvements in the efficiency of CER and Eco-Innovation. Such a framework focuses on innovation as a key to business success aligned with CER and it is based on previous eco-based innovations in such a context. Necessary data will be collected by a survey questionnaire about several case studies.

Pulmonary Changes

Electron microscopy and energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis (EDXA) are found to be very useful tools for identification of etiologic agents in pneumoconiosis or interstitial pulmonary disorders. Pulmonary interstitial fibrosis and granulomatosis are frequently associated with occupational and environmental pollution. Numerous reports of pneumoconiosis in various occupations such as coal and gold miners are presented in the literature. However, there is no known documented case of pulmonary changes in workers in the sandpaper industry. This study reports a rare case of pulmonary granulomatosis containing deposits from abrasives of sandpaper diagnosed by using EDXA.
