Extreme Weather Events and Human Health
This edited book assesses the impacts of various extreme weather events on human health and development from a global perspective, and includes several case studies in various geographical regions around the globe. Covering all continents, it describes the impact of extreme weather conditions such as flash floods, heatwaves, cold waves, droughts, forest fires, strong winds and storms in both developing and developed countries. The contributing authors also investigate the spread of diseases and the risk to food security caused by drought and flooding. Further, the book discusses the economic damage resulting from natural disasters including hurricanes. It has been estimated that in 2017 natu...
Emerging Technologies for Disaster Resilience
Technological advances have helped to enhance disaster resilience through better risk reduction, response, mitigation, rehabilitation and reconstruction. In former times, it was local and traditional knowledge that was mainly relied upon for disaster risk reduction. Much of this local knowledge is still valid in today’s world, even though possibly in different forms and contexts, and local knowledge remains a shared part of life within the communities. In contrast, with the advent of science and technology, scientists and engineers have become owners of advanced technologies, which have contributed significantly to reducing disaster risks across the globe. This book analyses emerging techn...
Proceedings of the 1st World Conference on Health and Social Science (WCHSS 2022)
This is an open access book. "In implementing the three pillars (tri dharma) of higher education, Binawan University, supported by the fields of health and social sciences, would like to provide solutions to problems affecting society. Gathering experts, researchers, academics, practitioners, students, and policymakers in one conference can be a medium for sharing knowledge and experiences to solve and provide solutions to many problems in dealing with the crisis during a pandemic and prepare for future situations.""The First World Conference on Health and Social Science is the first international conference involving 3 Faculties of Binawan University. It is planned as an annual event. This activity is supported by DRTPM (The Directorate of Research, Technology, and Community Services) funding.""This activity aims to develop and evaluate research-based interventions to improve public health, reduce social inequalities in health, and communicate research results and implications to a wide range of audiences."
Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis
Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) includes methods and tools for modeling and solving complex problems. MCDM has become popular in the production and service sectors to improve the quality of service, reduce costs, and make people more prosperous. This book illustrates applications through case studies focused on disaster management. With a presentation of both Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) and Multi-Objective Decision-Making (MODM) models, this is the first book to merge these methods and tools with disaster management. This book raises awareness for society and decision-makers on how to measure readiness and what necessary preventive measures need to be taken. It offers models and case studies that can be easily adapted to solve complex problems and find solutions in other fields. Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis: Case Studies in Disaster Management will offer new insights to researchers working in the areas of industrial engineering, systems engineering, healthcare systems, operations research, mathematics, business, computer science, and disaster management, and, hopefully, the book will also stimulate further work in MCDM.
Fire Toxicity
Toxic fire effluents are responsible for the majority of fire deaths, and an increasing large majority of fire injuries, driven by the widespread and increasing use of synthetic polymers. Fire safety has focused on preventing ignition and reducing flame spread through reducing the rate of heat release, while neglecting the important issue of fire toxicity. This is the first reference work on fire toxicity and the only scientific publication on the subject in the last 15 years. Assessment of toxic effects of fires is increasingly being recognised as a key factor in the assessment of fire hazards. This book raises important issues including the types of toxic effluents that different fires pro...
Komunikasi Risiko dan Promosi Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja (K3): Untuk Meningkatkan Kematangan Budaya Keselamatan (Safety Culture) di Pelbagai Industri - Jejak Pustaka
Buku ini disusun guna memberikan pengetahuan dan pemahaman mengenai upaya yang dapat dilakukan untuk vi menurunkan bahaya, risiko, dan dampak akibat kecelakaan (KAK), kebakaran (fire), ledakan (explosion) dan Penyakit akibat kerja (PAK) akan melengkapi sumber referensi tentang pemahaman dan implementasi K3 dipelbagai bidang industri yang mempunyai risiko tinggi. Walaupun demikian secara praktis proses penerapan sistem komunikasi risiko untuk peningkatan budaya keselamatan (safety culture) berbeda- satu unit area operasional. proses penerapannya dapat dilaksanakan di unit ara operasional setempat, namun bagi industri yang memiliki beberapa unit wilayah kerja pelaksanaan penerapan dapat dikoordinasikan ditingkat pusat (korporat) agar lebih efisien dan efektif. Penerapan dapat bergulir dimulai dari pilot project ( proyek contoh salah satu unit area). Proyek contoh ini akan memberikan lebih fokus terhadap sumber daya manusia (SDM) dan proses pembelajaran yang lebih efektif dan efisien.
Interconnectivity, Subversion, and Healing in World Christianity
The rise of Christianity around the world has been the impetus for much religious and social change. The interconnectivity of religious centers has resulted in theological dialogue and innovation. The subversion of long-held categories of culture, gender, race, spirituality, theology, and politics has naturally occurred along with the transgressing of borders and boundaries. Yet at the same time, there has been occasion for healing through intercultural experiences of forgiveness, peacemaking, and reconciliation. Stimulated by the work and mentorship of Joel Carpenter, who has done much to expand the study of world Christianity less through focusing on his own research and writing, and more ...
