...How much energy do we need to transport it? How to reduce emissions? Look at the life-cycle assessment process. Eutrophication: when the fertilizers uses to make plants grow fasters go into the waters and go into the rivers and lake, then make the algae bigger which provokes a lack of oxygen and the death of many species. Energy options: when having wind turbine, it’s going to have a energy consumption to build the infrastructure but after it will work by it’s own. The 1% is the energy to check sometimes the turbines. Whereas coal industry needs a lot of energy to function. Here we are looking at the share not the amount of energy input in each. Renewable energy: it is present on the planet, it replenish itself throw a natural cycle (like water cycle). Passive heating: natural way to catch light and heat. The bottom line used to be profit. Now it’s still the case but by generating wealth. The down jones created an indicator that allows people to see the market is globally evolving. In the same way, we create indicators to measure pollution of the air. We can compare information based on time or space. Causal loops: see the specific cause producing that specific effect. A causal loops is when a cause effect model is reproducing again and again increasing consequences. Thresholds is the state, the determined level when smoke is so heavy in the air that it triggers the fire alarm. Millenium Development Goals (MDG) ended in 2015 by setting up new objectives...

WHY IS LAKE HURON SO POLLUTED? During the 18th and 19th centuries, industries and individuals often used rivers and lakes as garbage cans. Industrial effluent, raw sewage and animal carcasses would often be dumped into Lake Huron, without much thought of contamination. The major cause of the pollution in Lake Huron seems to be nonpoint source pollution. Nonpoint source pollution is another term for polluted runoff (Water Pollution in the Great Lakes). In the 20th century, this practice of dumping waste into the lake started changing as people became aware of the importance of clean water to their health. As more people and industries moved into the great lakes region, the more the rivers and lakes became polluted. Pollutants enter the great lakes in many different ways, but the entryways of pollutants are point source, nonpoint source,...

...Globalization Globalization is an ongoing process of integration and interaction amongst companies, governments and people. It is driven by invention of new technologies and forms of communications, international trade and investment. In addition to economic aspects, globalization plays an important part in other fields. It can also be defined as the integration of economic, cultural, political, ecological and social systems through internationalization and interconnectedness. Globalization is the principally new step in the development of the long-term process of internationalization (transnationalization) of the economic, political, cultural, legal and other aspects of the society's life, at the point when interrelationships between the national socials have reached such a level, when some drastic changes within the entire world community gradually transforming into the integral society institute, became inevitable. The level of economic, scientific, technological, legal and informational interrelationships of the national industries have reached a point, when at least three principally novel features are imminent. First, the world's economic community, formerly seen as loosely connected multiple countries, is gradually transforming into the integral economic system, with national societies now representing the constituents of the integral world's economic body. Second, while conditions of globalization, national and global economic issues are swapping...

...Pillsbury, Washburn Crosby (WCCO), and Xcel Energy, and what is now known as the iconic Mill Ruins Park. The park interprets the history of flour milling in Minneapolis and shows the ruins of several flour mills that were abandoned. In its 19th-century heyday, this area of mills and other historic resources made up the largest water powered facility in the world. Since then, the original objective of the space has shifted to accommodate the needs of Minneapolis residents of this millenium, providing evidence on the economic change that occurred with the river banks, with both the bridge itself and the ruins associated with it. A father of modern milling in America and founder of what became General Mills, Cadwallader C. Washburn built the first Washburn A Mill in 1874. It was declared the world’s largest flour mill upon its completion. The seven-story mill was powered with river water from the Mississippi, which was then diverted through a canal that ran inside its lower level. With two hundred workers, it was one of the city's largest employers. One year later an explosion instantly demolished the Washburn A mill and killing fourteen workers inside. It was the worst disaster of its type in the city's history, destroying what had been Minneapolis' largest industrial building, and the largest flour mill in the world, along with several adjacent flour mills. This tragedy paved the way for major safety upgrades, including the development of new, safer machinery. By 1880, he had rebuilt...

...With changes needed, our society needs to confront the future development of sustainability in this country. We need modifications in our behaviors, institutions, and technologies. As defined by The United Nations (UN) sustainability is “development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generation to meet their own needs” As stated by The UN “This requires the integration of its economic, environmental and social components at all levels by continuous dialogue and action in global partnership.” We need to find a way to balance environmental goals, social goals and economic goals. The World Conservation Union says that we are currently out of balance and heavy in economic and social goals and deficient in realistic and working environmental goals. The World Conservation Union also remarks “development decisions by governments, businesses and other actors do allow trade-offs and put greatest emphasis on the economy above other dimensions of sustainability. This is a major reason why the environment continues to be degraded and development does not achieve desirable equity goals.” The report goes on to say that the integration of economic, environmental and social components cannot be treated equally because the economy is an institution that emerges from society and that they are virtually one. The same as society creates rules to mediate the exchange of goods or value. The environment on the other hand is not created by society and tradeoffs...

...activity varies. While some hospitals cite financial problems, others join forces because of collaboration mandated under the Affordable Care Act and changing reimbursement models, according to Minnesota Public Radio (Caramenico, 2012). Many dynamics in a healthcare organization can dramatically change when a merger occurs; these changes occur on the floor and among staff. The impact of merging two separate entities with different values and performance efforts can have long-term and short-term affects within the new organization. This paper is an effort to identify the impact a merger will have on the culture of the new combined organization, and how to ensure that the combined staff will work together to provide quality care without taking on a competitive stance. Change and Culture: Cultural Impacts on New Organization When two entities merge together, cultural change can be a major challenge. Operational, functional, and organizational elements at all levels of the new organization can be disrupted when incorporating two organizations into one. Disruption can cause stress on all involved in the merger, however, these challenges aim to produce positive results during the transition and beyond. Mergers present opportunities to expand one or more of...

SANTIAGO In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Subject in Methods of Research Submitted by: Ana S. Transifiguracion Ria Marie M. Reyes Major in Technology and Livelihood Education Chapter I THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND Introduction Nutrition is the result of the processes whereby the body takes in and uses food for growth, development and maintenance of health. Nutrition can also affect the body’s ability to resist disease, the length of one’s life and the state of one’s physical and mental well-being. Promoting good nutrition helps children grow, promotes human development and advances economic growth and eradication of poverty. Studies have shown that proper nutrition has a direct effect on student performance and behavior in school In many studies, cases of socioeconomic status seem to be an indicator of food insufficiency, which is simply the lack of available food to a household. Food insufficiency has been shown to directly affect children’s cognitive development. (Nutrition And Its Effects On Academic Performance How Can Our Schools Improve? By Amy Ross ) Poor nutrition on the other hand, is a chronic problem linked to poverty, poor nutrition understanding and practices, and deficient sanitation and food security. Lack of proper nutrition contributes to worse class...

...Introduction There is a rising trend outward FDI (OFDI) from emerging market, mostly dominated by countries such as China and India (Gao, Liu, & Zhou, 2013). China’s outward FDI increased from $27 billion in the year 2000 to $230 billion by the end of the year 2009. Since the late 1990s, India’s OFDI has increased to $77 billion by the end of the year 2009 (Buckley, Forsans, & Munjal, 2012). Porter’s national competitive advantage emphasizes productivity growth as the focus of success in international trade. John Dunning went on to explain in detail the drivers of OFDI using his eclectic theory of ownership, location, and internalization advantage including four major motives: market-seeking, resource-seeking, efficiency-seeking and strategic asset seeking (Gao, Liu, & Zhou, 2013). Market seeking Firms aim to capitalise on ownership of well-established brands, marketing skills and overseas distribution networks by seeking large foreign markets (Buckley, Forsans, & Munjal, 2012). Since China’s WTO accession, because of over-capacity in some sectors, Chinese manufacturers have started to invest in developed countries as well as in developing countries. Shanghai Automobile Industry Corp. bought over 50 percent stake in Korean Ssangyong Motor Co. in 2004, and TCL acquired the colour TV manufacturing from French Thomson in 2004 in order to expand their markets and achieve economies of scale.

...A TERM PAPER ON HIS 662: ENVIRONMENTAL SECURITY AND CONFLICT RESOLUTION TOPIC: RESOURCE USE, BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION AND OUR COLLECTIVE FUTURE WRITTEN BY NSEK, UDUAK OKON REG. NO: 13/PG/AR/HS/006 DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES FACULTY OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF UYO SUBMITTED TO DR. DOMINIC AKPAN LECTURER IN CHARGE DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY AND INTERNATIOANL STUDIES FACULTY OF ARTS UNIVERSITY OF UYO MARCH, 2015 Abstract Resource use can be defined as the derivation of benefit from that resource in economic or financial, social or cultural, political and ecological respects. Human actions or resource use have altered global environment and reduced biodiversity by causing extinctions and reducing the population sizes of surviving species. Increasing human population size and per capita resource use will continue to have direct and indirect consequences such as distorted values of plant and animal resources, inappropriate resource tenure and ownership structure as well as lack of knowledge on resource management and biodiversity conservation. Inevitably, our collective future becomes bleak as future generations will inhabit a planet with significantly less wildlife, diminished ecosystem services and an increased impoverished people. Keywords: Resource, Biodiversity, future Introduction The most significant environmental issue in the contemporary world has been resource use and biodiversity conservation. This is not unusual because humans benefit directly or...

...A Methodology for the Development of Robots that Would Make Enabling Replication a Real Possibility reagan Abstract Ubiquitous archetypes and interrupts have garnered tremendous interest from both electrical engineers and leading analysts in the last several years. After years of structured research into Byzantine fault tolerance, we disconfirm the deployment of agents, which embodies the confirmed principles of complexity theory. We introduce new probabilistic models, which we call Yot. Table of Contents 1 Introduction Analysts agree that robust epistemologies are an interesting new topic in the field of machine learning, and computational biologists concur. For example, many systems harness event-driven models. The notion that scholars cooperate with Bayesian technology is continuously considered natural. thusly, linear-time methodologies and the exploration of e-commerce synchronize in order to accomplish the analysis of virtual machines. In order to realize this objective, we concentrate our efforts on showing that RAID and architecture are entirely incompatible. This finding at first glance seems counterintuitive but fell in line with our expectations. In the opinions of many, two properties make this solution different: Yot prevents certifiable communication, and also Yot refines wireless modalities [1]. However, this method is usually adamantly opposed [2,3,1]. Nevertheless, the Ethernet might not be the panacea that physicists expected. Our contributions...
