Land Clearance

One of the measures to eliminate the consequences of the Chernobyl accident was the exclusion of highly contaminated land from agricultural use. Due to the positive dynamics of the radiation situation, the issue of land return becomes relevant. However, in the period of exclusion of these lands the land clearance degradation processes were developing. The second part of the article is devoted to the issue of economic evaluation of the expediency of land return and the mutual coordination of the results of separate stages of complex ecological and economic evaluation. The research was carried out in Mogilev branch Institute of radiology (Republic of Belarus).

Natural Decay

One of the measures to eliminate the consequences of the Chernobyl accident was the exclusion of highly contaminated land from agricultural use. During the natural decay of radionuclides there is a decrease in the activity of 137Cs and 90Sr in the soil. The issue of land return becomes relevant. The article describes the main stages of formation of the system of criteria and indicators of ecological and economic evaluation of the expediency of land return. The first part of the article is devoted to the issue of radiological evalation.

To Receive

For centuries the sea has absorbed a variety of inputs from rivers, streams, salt marshes and the atmosphere. It is generally accepted that additional limited inputs by man are unlikely to have a significant effect on the marine environment. Various control systems have been constructed to provide a framework within which the regulation of anthropogenic inputs can be achieved. These are briefly reviewed. With care, and in the light of past experience in both freshwater and marine environments, reasonable assumptions or estimations can be applied where uncertainties exist; safe limits can therefore be set for discharges. Case histories are used to illustrate the contention that it is possible to assess the assimilative capacity of a marine area to receive wastes. There is a major distinction to be drawn between contamination and pollution of the marine environment. Moreover, acknowledgement of the assimilative capacity concept in the marine environment does not automatically provide dischargers with the right to utilise that capacity either in part or to the upper limit. What it does is indicate the upper limit which must not be exceeded if pollution is to be avoided, and provide an indication to the control authority of the safety margin involved in the discharge limits they set accordingly.

This chapter reviews the research of social science and linguistics on power, ambiguity, and deception when treated separately at the macro institutional level and at the micro non-institutional level, noting the lack of studies of macro institutional power employed in the same context with micro non-institutional individuals. The characteristics of institutional power, control, authority, domination, reinterpretation, inequality, and persuasion are transparent and non-negotiable in the legal arena, in contrast with their absence for the powerless persons with whom the legal institution interacts. In non-institutional individual contexts these characteristics are often negotiable. When institutional power interacts with individuals who lack that power, the government’s non-negotiable advantage would appear to be transparent, but this is not always true. This outwardly transparent power also can be realized through the use of ambiguity, which can contain deceptiveness. This chapter reprises the research on ambiguity and deception, in the contexts of both law and linguistics.
