升级A/O工艺污水处理系统中抗生素抗性基因的分布与去除研究

针对北方某采用升级A/O工艺的生活污水处理厂,使用实时荧光定量PCR技术,探究污水厂中ARGs的分布及各处理工艺段对ARGs的去除效果.结果表明:四环素抗性基因(tetA、tetC和tetM)、磺胺抗性基因(sul1和sul2)、大环内酯抗性基因(ermA和ermF)和喹诺酮抗性基因(parC和gyrA)在污水和污泥中均被检出.污水厂进水中ARGs的绝对丰度为2.65×10³～1.01×10⁶ copies·mL^-1,升级A/O工艺未能有效削减ARGs,出水中ARGs的绝对丰度为9.22×10³～1.15×10⁶ copies·mL^-1,污泥中ARGs的绝对丰度为8.07×10⁷～2.65×10¹¹ copies·g^-1.深度处理工艺对ARGs的去除效率对比结果显示,生物活性炭工艺对ARGs的削减效果优于紫外消毒.     

磁混凝对市政污水中抗生素抗性基因和重金属抗性基因的削减效能

污水中抗性基因给环境和人类健康带来潜在的危害.本研究通过调查市政排口污水磁混凝处理过程中抗性基因绝对含量和相对丰度变化,考察磁分离技术对市政污水中抗性基因的削减效果.结果表明,加入磁种和絮凝剂的一级搅拌和二级搅拌对抗生素抗性基因(ARGs)、重金属抗性基因(MRGs)和可移动遗传元件均有较好地去除效果,但出水中部分抗性基因的绝对含量增加,这可能是由于出水中依然具有较高含量的水平转移元件(int1,2. 00×10¹⁰ copies·mL^-1; int2,1. 91×10⁸ copies·mL^-1; Tn916/1545e,5. 38×10⁸ copies·mL^-1).网络分析和主成分分析结果表明,磁混凝处理过程中ARGs与MRGs呈显著正相关(P <0. 05),城市污水中常规污染物如悬浮物、磷和COD等是影响抗性基因去除效率的重要因子.这些结果表明,磁混凝可通过有效削减污水中常规污染物进而制约抗性基因的传播和转移;但需要关注磁混凝的出水及脱水污泥的...     

Between resistance and resilience: a study of flood risk management in the Don catchment area (UK)

The river Don catchment area in Sheffield and Rotherham offers a good place for a case study of flood risk management, given the impact of a flooding event in 2007 and the way in which local events have become entwined with national and international policy shifts. To interpret local policy, a combination of systems-based and socio-cultural theory is used. Both the theories and the case study serve to disentangle the multiple meanings of resilience. Understood in opposition to flood resistance, resilience has only limited applicability in an area such as the case study where engineering works protect employment and infrastructure. Resilience as a policy discourse also lacks political transparency and a recognition of socio-cultural influences. Underlying the shift towards resilient styles of management is an appreciation of the importance of capacity, to learn and to act. The case study identifies blockages to the realisation of that capacity.     

Post‐acquisition integration processes in publicly owned professional service companies: Senior professional behaviour and company performance

The client relationships and tacit knowledge of professionals are professional service firms' (PSFs') major value creating resources producing challenges in generating post‐merger and acquisition value and risks of reducing the productivity or losing key professionals and their clients. The recent emergence of publicly owned PSFs and rapid growth through consolidating smaller privately owned firms potentially increases this risk by integrating small firms and their professionals into large public companies that may be governed very differently. This study explores post‐acquisition integration processes: professional behaviours and associated performance implications in two highly acquisitive publicly owned accounting companies. In one company, the integration process was rapid and heavily directed by senior management, while in the second company, integration was more gradual, initially undirected but then facilitated by senior management. The findings suggest that integration processes can impact the behaviour of professionals and acquiring firm performance. This research contributes to the understanding of post‐acquisition integration processes in PSFs and decision‐making and professional behaviour in recently emerged publicly owned PSFs. The study contributes to knowledge‐based theory by identifying factors that can affect the decision authority of executives and how organisational behaviour can constrain the implementation of executive integration decisions.

Freebies,freedom and fundamental change: resistance to neoliberal environmentalism in large “green” corporations

Despite the professed concern of many governments, businesses and individuals – and the recent publication of another alarming report from the IPCC – inaction on climate change remains a significant concern. For many, the problem is rooted in a neoliberal account of social change. Neoliberal environmentalism is the dominant approach to environmental issues but it is often blamed for the continuing failure of climate change policy in general and behaviour change initiatives in particular. This paper explores the dynamics of this dominant discourse through an examination of environmentalism in the large “green” corporation. Specifically, it uses discourse analysis to investigate so-called “climate champion” schemes and considers examples of resistance to the dominant neoliberal discourse. The paper finds that many of the champions did resist the basic components of neoliberal environmentalism. They challenged the principles of self-interest, self-rule and incremental change, and they talked about the possibility of enforced action. However, this resistance was limited in a number of different ways. The paper suggests that the workplace does play a role in restricting resistance but that there are more fundamental issues that need to be addressed if we hope to pursue an alternative approach to environmental problems such as climate change.     

四环素对污泥蚯蚓粪中微生物种群和抗性基因的影响

城市污泥中高含量的四环素可能会致使污泥蚯蚓堆肥产物中携带高丰度的抗性基因,降低其利用价值.本实验采用赤子爱胜蚓处理添加不同含量四环素(100、500和1 000 mg·kg-1)的新鲜污泥,以不添加为对照组,分析微生物种群和四环素抗性基因(tet C、tet G、tet M、tet W和tet X)及整合子基因(int I1)在不同四环素选择性压力下的变化,揭示四环素含量对污泥蚯蚓堆肥中微生物种群和抗性基因的影响.结果表明,添加四环素降低了污泥蚯蚓堆肥产物中变形菌门的丰度但增加了拟杆菌门的丰度,且四环素的含量与细菌的Shannon和Pielou指数有明显的负相关关系.同时,添加四环素致使int I1增加了4. 25倍;四环素类抗性基因增加了4. 7～186. 9倍,其中tet M基因丰度与四环素含量呈现出显著的正相关关系.因此初始污泥中较高含量的四环素会改变污泥蚯蚓粪的微生物种群结构,增加抗生素抗性基因的丰度和传播风险.     

Occurrence of human pathogenic bacteria carrying antibiotic resistance genes revealed by metagenomic approach: A case study from an aquatic environment

Antibiotic resistance genes(ARGs), human pathogenic bacteria(HPB), and HPB carrying ARGs are public issues that pose a high risk to aquatic environments and public health. Their diversity and abundance in water, intestine, and sediments of shrimp culture pond were investigated using metagenomic approach. A total of 19 classes of ARGs, 52 HPB species, and 7 species of HPB carrying ARGs were found. Additionally, 157, 104, and 86 subtypes of ARGs were detected in shrimp intestine, pond water, and sediment samples, respectively. In all the samples, multidrug resistance genes were the highest abundant class of ARGs. The dominant HPB was Enterococcus faecalis in shrimp intestine, Vibrio parahaemolyticus in sediments, and Mycobacterium yongonense in water, respectively. Moreover, E. faecalis(contig Intestine_364647)and Enterococcus faecium(contig Intestine_80272) carrying efr A, efr B and ANT(6)-Ia were found in shrimp intestine, Desulfosaricina cetonica(contig Sediment_825143) and Escherichia coli(contig Sediment_188430) carrying mex B and APH(3′)-IIa were found in sediments, and Laribacter hongkongensis(contig Water_478168 and Water_369477), Shigella sonnei(contig Water_880246),and Acinetobacter baumannii(contig Water_525520) carrying sul1, sul2, ere A, qac H, OXA-21, and mph D were found in pond water. Mobile genetic elements(MGEs) analysis indicated that horizontal gene transfer(HGT) of integrons, insertion sequences, and plasmids existed in shrimp intestine, sediment, and water samples, and the abundance of integrons was higher than that of other two MGEs. The results suggested that HPB carrying ARGs potentially existed in aquatic environments, and that these contributed to the environment and public health risk evaluation.     

7B04-T6铝合金新型纳米涂层外场腐蚀环境下电化学性能研究

目的评估自然暴露环境下新型纳米涂层的耐蚀性能。方法选取西沙永兴岛海洋环境作为自然暴晒场,对试验件做预损伤处理后,开展7B04-T6铝合金/新型纳米涂层与天津灯塔涂料股份有限公司典型防腐涂层在高盐雾、高湿热、强太阳辐射等综合腐蚀环境下的外场暴露试验,利用电化学阻抗技术对暴晒前后的两类涂层试样在3.5%NaCl溶液中浸泡不同时间的耐蚀性能进行对比研究。结果两类涂层外场暴露试验后,电化学阻抗值下降,且随着在3.5%NaCl溶液中浸泡时间的增加,Rp值不断减小,CPE-T值不断增大。结论新型纳米涂层在外场暴露试验1年后,并未发生腐蚀损伤失效,仍具有较好的耐盐水性,但其耐候性差于天津灯塔涂料股份有限公司试验涂层。     

处理垃圾渗滤液的SBR中微生物种群与污泥比阻

为了研究活性污泥法处理垃圾渗滤液时污泥过滤性能与微生物种群的关系,采用两组运行参数相同的SBR反应器对某垃圾焚烧发电厂的垃圾渗滤液进行处理,一组置于太阳光照下(SBR1),另一组置于室内黑暗处(SBR2).在运行过程中发现SBR1在第30~50 d出现了轮虫等捕食性后生动物,污泥比阻在第35 d出现下降;而SBR2在第40 d发生了丝状膨胀,污泥比阻一直上升.为了研究两组反应器中微生物种群的差异,取两反应器运行至第50 d的活性污泥进行高通量测序发现:SBR1真菌中Rozellomycota为优势菌门,相对丰度为83.71%.SBR2真菌中Basidiomycota和Trichosporon为优势菌门和菌属,相对丰度分别为99.84%和99.78%.SBR1中细菌丰度较SBR2高,Thauera是SBR1中主要细菌菌属,其相对丰度为39.35%;Planktosalinus、Thauera和Ottowia为SBR2中优势细菌菌属,其相对丰度分别为16.84%、16.23%和12.55%.SBR2中主要真菌和细菌菌属类型和丰度均与SBR1存在差异,可见活性污泥中的微生物种群结构是影响污泥过滤性能的主要因素,同时太阳光照会影响活性污泥反应器中的微生物种群结构.
