Managing Cultural Heritage Sites in Southeastern Europe
The CHERPLAN project (CHERPLAN stands for “Enhancement of Cultural Heritage through Environmental Planning and Management") aims to provide a strong basis for ensuring compatibility and synergy between cultural heritage conservation and socioeconomic growth by fostering the adoption of a modern environmental planning approach throughout southeast Europe (SEE). The aim of environmental planning is to integrate traditional urban/spatial planning with the concerns of environmentalism to ensure sustainable development; when innovatively applied to cultural heritage sites, environmental planning’s comprehensive perspective can be regarded as composed of three spheres: the built and historical...
Recycling and Reuse of Waste Materials
This volume presents part of the proceedings of two symposia held under the umbrella of Advances in Waste Management, an international meeting organised by the University of Dundees Concrete Technology Unit.
IoT-Based Smart Waste Management for Environmental Sustainability
This book consolidates and summarizes smart technologies like IoT, edge computing, and AI used in different aspects of waste material management, mitigation, and recycling for a sustainable environment. One of the cases explains how IoT-based systems and wireless sensors can be used to continuously detect common pollutants such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), carbon monoxide, and particulate matter (PM) and how the data collected are used to assess the overall air quality and determine actions for improvements. A collection of practical case studies, this book provides a comprehensive knowledge in smart waste management to readers in universities, research centers, and industries.
Encyclopedia of Consumption and Waste
Archaeologists and anthropologists have long studied artifacts of refuse from the distant past as a portal into ancient civilizations, but examining what we throw away today tells a story in real time and becomes an important and useful tool for academic study. Trash is studied by behavioral scientists who use data compiled from the exploration of dumpsters to better understand our modern society and culture. Why does the average American household send 470 pounds of uneaten food to the garbage can on an annual basis? How do different societies around the world cope with their garbage in these troubled environmental times? How does our trash give insight into our attitudes about gender, class, religion, and art? The Encyclopedia of Consumption and Waste explores the topic across multiple disciplines within the social sciences and ranges further to include business, consumerism, environmentalism, and marketing to comprise an outstanding reference for academic and public libraries.
Fuzzy Cognitive Maps
This book is considered as a monograph but also as a potential textbook for graduate students, focusing on the application of FCMs for modelling and analysing the behaviour of multicomponent systems. In the last two decades, no monograph or textbook has been published on the topic Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCM), so this new book is definitely filling a gap in the literature of computational intelligence. The book is built up didactically, the novel results in the field being presented in the way of starting with two real-life case studies, one in the area of waste management, while the other one in modelling bank management systems. In both cases, the book starts with explaining the applied prob...
Zahlen, bitte! - Was Sie schon immer über Österreich wissen wollten
Wie viele Schulkinder hat Österreich und wie viele von ihnen machen Matura? Wie gesund oder krank sind wir? Wohin verreisen wir am liebsten? Wie viele Zwetschkenbäume hat das Land? Und wird das wirklich gezählt? Alle Antworten auf diese Fragen und welche Auswirkungen diese Fakten auf unser Leben haben, sind in diesem Buch kompakt dargestellt. Konrad Pesendorfer von Statistik Austria und Florian Klenk vom FALTER versachlichen Themen die uns bewegen, die wir aber in ihrer quantitativen Bedeutung in unserer Gesellschaft nicht immer abzuschätzen vermögen und legen somit objektive Information vor. In einer Welt, die von überlautstarken Meinungsäußerungen geprägt ist und in der das reißerischste Posting oder der verwegenste Tweet die Gemüter politisch sensibler Menschen in atemberaubender Geschwindigkeit in Aufregung versetzen kann, erlangen nüchtern vorgetragene Fakten und äquidistante Verweise darauf, wie sich bestimmte Phänomene in der Realität quantitativ darstellen, wieder an Attraktivität.
Corporate Social Responsibility im Handel
Handelsunternehmen prägen und prägten das Wirtschaftsgeschehen und unsere Gesellschaft seit jeher wesentlich. Neben dem vorrangigen Bestreben, Gewinn zu generieren, verfolgen sie oftmals auch soziale Ziele. Der Beitrag dieser Arbeit ist die grundlegende, deskriptive Aufarbeitung der Forschungsströmung CSR im Handel sowie des alternativen Betriebstyps Sozialmarkt, ein Handelsunternehmen, dass die soziale Zielsetzung über die Gewinnorientierung stellt. Darüber hinaus werden generelle Erkenntnisse zu CSR und der CSR-Kommunikation auf den Lebensmitteleinzelhandel übertragen und konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für die Marketingforschung und -praxis abgeleitet.
