Anthropologists Wanted
In Anthropologists Wanted. Why Organizations Need Anthropology the authors present a broad and inspiring survey of anthropologists in the job market. What in fact is anthropology? What skills do anthropologists have? Where do they work? How do they add value in the workplace, according to the people who hire them? And how can anthropologists showcase their qualities to employers? The book contains unique insights for anyone who plans to study, is studying, or has studied anthropology. And for employers interested in why anthropological knowledge is important. Anthropologists Wanted includes portraits of anthropologists and their diverse occupations, interviews with employers and academic counsellors' answers to frequently asked questions about degree programmes, anthropological skills, and tips to help you land that job.
Bioenergy - Realizing the Potential
Modern bioenergy has gained increased attention in the past decade. Not only does it provide an effective option for the provision of energy services from the technical point of view, but it is based on resources that can be utilized on a sustainable basis all around the globe. In addition, the benefits accrued go beyond energy provision, creating unique opportunities for regional development. Today, biomass is seen as one of the most promising renewable sources of modern energy services in the medium term. Know-how and experiences from different countries pave the way to further development of bioenergy systems.Bioenergy: Realising the Potential integrates the key technical, policy and economic issues surrounding bioenergy projects in industrialised and developing countries, with a critical focus on four major topics: • The biomass resource availability and potential • The institutions and markets development• Technical and economic enhancements • Successful examples from Europe and developing countries
Sustainability Management Strategies and Impact in Developing Countries
Strategies and Impact in Developing Countries emphasizes the research of sustainability management and strategies in developing countries providing information to the public, researchers, planners, and stakeholders dealing with sustainability management and strategies, particularly for developing and emerging economic countries.
Environment and the City
For the first time at the beginning of the twenty-first century, urban dwellers outnumber rural residents and this trend is set to continue. Consequently one of the most pressing issues of our time is how to square the social and economic development of cities with their environmental limits and those of the wider environment. The theme of the environment and city is topical at every level, from the politics of global trade to local community networks. Environment and the City looks at the evolution of cities in the developed and the developing world and the implications for resource consumption and environmental impacts. It takes a cross-cutting approach with new thinking on multiple geogra...
Sugarcane ethanol
"Climate change is a challenge facing human life. It will change mobility and asks for new energy solutions. Bioenergy has gained increased attention as an alternative to fossil fuels. Energy based on renewable sources may offer part of the solution. Bio ethanol based on sugar cane offers advantages to people, the environment and the economy. Not surprisingly, governments currently enact powerful incentives for the development and exploitation of bio ethanol. However, every inch we come closer to this achievement, evokes more scepticism. Many questions are raised relating to whether sugar cane is really a sustainable solution. Still much is unknown about the net release of carbon dioxide and...
EmTech Anthropology
EmTech Anthropology: Careers at the Frontier emphasizes anthropology’s critical role at the frontier of emerging technologies (EmTech). The book explores the opportunities and challenges that arise as anthropologists venture into the territory of EmTech, pushing the boundaries of traditional academic approaches and methodologies. By sharing the stories and insights of early to mid-career anthropologists working in AI, robotics, Web3, cybersecurity, and other cutting-edge fields, the book provides a possible roadmap for future practitioners seeking to make an impact in the world of EmTech. These anthropologists demonstrate how the discipline's unique perspective and skills can be applied to...
»Soziale Innovation« im Fokus
Das Thema »soziale Innovationen« hat in den letzten 20 Jahren in westlichen Gesellschaften zwar immer größere Aufmerksamkeit erfahren, ist dabei aber sowohl begrifflich und konzeptionell als auch inhaltlich äußerst unscharf geblieben. Angesichts der wachsenden Bedeutung sozialer Innovationen ist eine konzeptionelle Weiterentwicklung des theoretischen Ansatzes von großer Bedeutung. Dieser Band diskutiert die Frage, was eine Innovation zur sozialen Innovation macht. Die Autoren gehen theoretischen Konzepten, empirischen Forschungsfeldern und beobachtbaren Trends nach und arbeiten die zentralen Dimensionen eines sozialwissenschaftlichen Konzepts sozialer Innovation heraus.
Soziale Innovation und Nachhaltigkeit
Die jüngsten Umweltdebatten scheinen infolge des Klimawandels verstärkt technisch geprägt. Ins Abseits geraten dadurch jene unter dem Begriff der Nachhaltigkeit diskutierten Ansätze, die Umweltveränderungen in einen umfassenden gesellschaftlichen Kontext stellen. Mit der Perspektive auf soziokulturelle Innovationen ist eine Klammer für technische Lösungen und soziale Bedingungen gewonnen, die Technik nicht losgelöst von sozialen Prozessen betrachtet, sondern als ein soziales Phänomen. Mit dem Sammelband wird eine Verbindung zwischen sozialwissenschaftlicher Innovationsforschung und sozialwissenschaftlicher Nachhaltigkeitsforschung hergestellt.
Klimakulturen und Raum
Thorsten Heimann geht der Frage nach, wie sich kulturelle Unterschiede im Umgang mit Klimawandel an europäischen Küsten beschreiben und erklären lassen. Dazu entwickelt er das Konzept des relationalen Kulturraums, erarbeitet umweltsoziologische Erklärungsansätze und prüft diese anhand einer Befragung von 830 Akteuren der Raumentwicklung europäischer Küstenstaaten. Er antwortet damit auf raumtheoretische Debatten zur kulturellen Globalisierung, in denen die Gebundenheit von Kulturen an Orte zunehmend in Frage gestellt wird. Mit dem relationalen Kulturraumansatz können kulturelle Formationen zukünftig in vielfältigen sozialwissenschaftlichen Anwendungsfeldern untersucht werden.
Advances and Applications in Computer Science, Electronics and Industrial Engineering
This book presents the proceedings of the Conference on Computer Science, Electronics and Industrial Engineering (CSEI 2019), held in Ambato in October 2019, with participants from 13 countries and guest speakers from Chile, Colombia, France, Japan, Spain, Portugal, and United States. Featuring 23 peer-reviewed papers, it discusses topics such as the use of metaheuristic for non-deterministic problem solutions, software architectures for supporting e-government initiatives, and the use of electronics in e-learning and industrial environments. It also includes contributions illustrating how new approaches on these converging research areas are impacting the development of human societies around the world into Society 5.0. As such, it is a valuable resource for scholars and practitioners alike.
