elv 1% (A P ic osteomyelitis is a rare occurrence, with reported rates of –11% of all cases of acute haematogenous osteomyelitis HO) occurring between the ages of 7 and 14 years. In a review of the medical records of 220 children with AHO, 19 children had pelvic osteomyelitis.

A zsidóság hagyományos társadalomban élt a Talmud korától (II.-VI. század) kezdve az európai felvilágosodásig, melyet Kehilának nevezünk. Röviden be szeretném mutatni ezt zsidó társadalmat, Kehilát, annak persze csak néhány szegmensét emelem ki, mely XVI. és XVIII. század közötti élet típusos formációja volt. Majd család társadalmi szerepére térek ki Kehila, societas kontextusában. Fókuszpontom...

Based on three German case studies in the field of waste management, the paper argues that the use of voluntary agreements does not necessarily conflict with the use of traditional command-and-control regulation within the same issue area as it is often suggested in the public and political science debate. The case studies – the voluntary agreement on the collection and recovery of spent batter...

The circular economy aims to decouple growth from environmental impacts by optimizing resource use, minimizing waste and pollution. European Union (EU) has the ambition lead a transition on global level. Realizing is complex, because it requires substantial interconnected changes in current system. Previous literature identified main drivers barriers economy, categorizing them as technical, eco...

A treatment train for the remediation of a raw olive mill wastewater (OMW) was investigated, aiming to comply with emission limit values (ELVs) direct discharge into water bodies. The following stages were proposed: (i) pre-treatment (filtration and sedimentation), (ii) coagulation, (iii) biological oxidation, (iv) advanced oxidation process (AOP). Under best-operating conditions coagulation (0...

The majority of waste plastics currently produced are either landfilled or incinerated. Plastics do not readily degrade and toxic elements can be leached from the landfill. Combustion of waste plastics can generate environmentally hazardous air pollutants such as dioxins/furans, as well as undesirable carbon dioxide. Consequently, cost effective ways of recycling the increasing amounts of gener...

This paper explores the relationship between environmental regulation and technical change. Firstly, the process of innovation for environmental techniques is discussed and barriers to the development and subsequent diffusion of environmental techniques identified. Characteristics of policies that can act to promote innovation are then teased out of the range of empirical case studies documente...
