Worldwide Trends in Green Chemistry Education
Educating the next generation of chemists about green chemistry issues, such as waste minimisation and clean synthesis, is vital for environmental sustainability. This book enables green issues to be taught from the underlying principles of all chemistry courses rather than in isolation. Chapters contributed by green chemistry experts from across the globe, with experience in teaching at different academic levels, provide a coherent overview of possible approaches to incorporate green chemistry into existing curriculums. Split into three sections, the book first introduces sustainability and green chemistry education , before focussing on high school green chemistry education initiatives and green chemistry education at undergraduate and post-graduate levels. Useful laboratory experiments and in-class activities to aid teaching are included. This book is a valuable resource for chemical educators worldwide who wish to integrate green chemistry into chemical education in a systematic and holistic way. It is also of interest to anyone wanting to learn more about the different approaches adopted around the world in sustainability education.
Environments
The theme "Environments: Technoscience and its relations with sustainability, ethics, aesthetics, health and the future of the human" presents a wide range of issues particularly relevant in the current scientific, social and political context in Brazil and abroad. These are pertinent in order to promote fruitful reflections in the thematics contemplated, which can help in the so-called revitalization of key concepts such as public health, environmental management, social vulnerability, sustainable cities, green materials and processes, democracy, security, bioethics , aesthetics and related topics. The book is marked by the sustainability concept in its essence, above all by the design of its structure, which aims at promoting the production of historicized socio-scientific knowledge, based on the close and long RD&I relations between Brazil and Germany, especially fostered by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation.
Transformative Approaches to Sustainable Development at Universities
This book documents and disseminates experiences from a wide range of universities, across the five continents, which showcase how the principles of sustainable development may be incorporated as part of university programmes, and present transformatory projects and programmes, showing how sustainability can be implemented across disciplines. Sustainability in a higher education context is a fast growing field. Thousands of universities across the world have signed declarations or have committed themselves to integrate the principles of sustainable development in their activities: teaching, research and extension, and many more will follow.
Chemistry and Chemical Technologies in Waste Valorization
The series Topics in Current Chemistry Collections presents critical reviews from the journal Topics in Current Chemistry organized in topical volumes. The scope of coverage is all areas of chemical science including the interfaces with related disciplines such as biology, medicine and materials science. The goal of each thematic volume is to give the non-specialist reader, whether in academia or industry, a comprehensive insight into an area where new research is emerging which is of interest to a larger scientific audience. Each review within the volume critically surveys one aspect of that topic and places it within the context of the volume as a whole. The most significant development...
Food Processing Waste and Utilization
Because of its high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and sheer volume, waste from food processing has significant potential to pollute land, water, and air. Both environmentally and economically, it is important to properly treat food processing wastes including the recovery of valuable products. Food Processing Waste and Utilization: Tackling Pollution and Enhancing Product Recovery discusses possible solutions to tackle food waste generation and its further utilization. It addresses process engineering economics, microbiology of waste recycling, biochemical and nutritional aspects of food waste processing. The book includes detailed guidance and case studies about utilization/valorization of f...
The Museum of the Future
Peter Sloterdijk sees our digitalized world in a "growing spatial crisis", accompanied by the danger of a "general virtuality of all relationships". Others view the digitalization of the world as opening up a grassroots democratic space that allows everyone access to culture. Against this backdrop, this anthology examines the spatial characteristics of the museum – between physical place and virtual space. The chapters collected here approach the museum space from various disciplinary perspectives, such as philosophy, history, art history, architecture, scenography, museum education and curatorial studies. At the same time, the contributions by international museum experts are assigned to different literary genres – fundamental considerations alternate with think pieces, case studies and interviews.
The Future of Action Research in Education
While the action research community across Canada is a vibrant one, it remains scattered, dismissed as rootless and still unproven. This book illuminates action research as a vital and long-established Canadian perspective, taking stock of its use in education by a wide array of scholars and practitioners. Reflecting an inclusive range of viewpoints from twenty-two scholars across the nation, chapters show without question that action research - encompassing collaborative, iterative, and practice-based research - is a growing field in Canada. Authors bring a range of experiences that speak to the many facets of this movement. They discuss historical foundations, individual and large-scale projects dealing with a multitude of subject areas and educational practices, and participatory methods that speak to the discipline's capacity to engage with the pressing social issues of our time. A timely intervention that threads the field together and serves as both a reference and a guide to further work, The Future of Action Research in Education draws clear links between the past and future and maps bold new directions for this approach.
Theoretical Foundations in Economics and Management
Collective monograph
Teoria crítica e formação cultural
Na sociedade da chamada revolução microeletrônica, a experiência formativa se arrefece, ao mesmo tempo em que se destaca a hegemonia do conhecimento obtido às pressas e que é dificilmente memorizado, sobretudo porque não há o tempo necessário para que as informações sejam ressignificadas, a ponto de serem efetivamente experimentadas. A despeito das aproximações e distanciamentos ocorridos entre os pensadores frankfurtianos sobre o conceito de experiência formativa, é notório o fato de que todos eles utilizaram conceitos filosóficos e sociológicos como fundamentos teóricos necessários para o entendimento das metamorfoses históricas desse conceito. À luz das intervençõe...
Bullying e trote universitário
Resultado de uma pesquisa de longa duração, do Bullying ao Trote universitário tem como ponto partida o trabalho educativo desenvolvido com os alunos e alunas dos cursos de licenciatura na área das ciências físico-naturais, da humanidades e artes, nas últimas duas décadas. Toma ambas as temáticas como mediadoras para refletir aspectos relativos à formação humana no campo da educação, em especial aqueles que tratam da dimensão ontológica (o que é o humano) e gnosiológica (o que é o conhecimento), tendo por horizonte a tríade educação, civilização e barbárie.
