Abstract:
Ecological civilization is the only way for the development of human civilization, and also something required for human overall development and our national interests. Ecological civilization with Chinese characteristics includes five aspects: understanding ecology, managing ecology, constructing ecology, advocating ecology and tasting ecology. It’s characteristic of Chinese ecological civilization to protect environment while developing. To carry out the ecological civilization construction effectively in China, we must try hard to strengthen the ecologically ruling construction of the party and the government, reinforce the ecological civilization education and grasp the key points and actively mobilize the public.

Abstract:
Constructing the ecological security pattern is imperative to stabilize ecosystem services and sustainable development coordination of the social economy and ecology. This paper focuses on the Karst region in southeastern Yunnan, which is ecologically fragile. This paper selects the main types of ecosystem services and identifies the ecological source using hot spot analysis for Guangnan County. An inclusive consideration of the regional ecologic conditions and the rocky desertification formation mechanism was made. The resistance factor index system was developed to generate the basic resistance surface modified by the ecological sensitivity index. The Ant algorithm and Kernel density analysis were used to determine ecological corridor range and ecological restoration points that constructed the ecological security pattern of Guangnan County. The results demonstrated that, firstly, there were twenty-three sources in Guangnan County, with a total area of 1292.77 km2, accounting for 16.74% of the total. The forests were the chief ecological sources distributed in the non-Karst area, where Bamei Town, Yangliujing Township and Nasa Town had the highest distribution. Secondly, the revised resistance value is similar to “Zhe (Zhetu Township)-Lian (Liancheng Town)-Yang (Yangliujing Township)-Ban (Bambang Township)”. The values were lower in the north and higher in the south, which is consistent with the regional distribution of Karst. Thirdly, the constructed ecological security pattern of the “Source-Corridor-Ecological restoration point” paradigm had twenty-three ecological corridors. The chief ecological and potential corridor areas were 804.95 km2 and 621.2 km2, respectively. There are thirty-eight ecological restoration points mainly distributed in the principal ecological corridors and play a vital role in maintaining the corridor connectivity between sources. The results provide guidance and theoretical basis for the ecological security patterns construction in Karst areas, regional ecologic security protection and sustainable development promotion.

Abstract:
The construction of ecological performance evaluation index system of beautiful rural construction aims to promote the benign and high-quality development of rural ecological construction with the evaluation of rural ecological performance, and ultimately help to achieve the goal of regional "rural revitalization". Focusing on the ecological performance evaluation of rural construction in eastern Zhejiang Province, this paper screened and tested the evaluation indexes, and each index was given different weights based on the existing ecological performance evaluation index system combined with pre-selected evaluation indexes such as literature search and field research by means of expert consultation, questionnaire survey and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The evaluation index system of ecological performance of beautiful rural construction was initially constructed with 2 first-class indexes, 11 secondclass indexes and 29 third-class indexes in order to improve the rural ecological space environment, enhance the rural ecological civilization, develop the quality of life of villagers, and promote rural revitalization.

Abstract:
Since the industrial revolution, people have adopted the linear development mode of “resting on the principal” to gain wealth through crazy plunder of nature despite severe pollution to the environment for human survival, which results in sharp conflict between man and nature. As ecological crisis arises, people begin to reflect on the industrial revolution profoundly. They start adopting the cycle development mode of “resting on the interest” and take active steps to build ecological civilization, which is not only a form of civilization but also a development concept. It breaks traditional views and ideas of “considering environment merely from the angle of environment”, “environment and development are mutually independent” and “environment and development are opposed to each other”, and it achieves a higher level of harmony between man and nature, resources and environment, as well as man and society. The construction of ecological civilization, as an important part of national governance, is the only way to solve the problem of ecological environment deterioration as well as to promote the transformation of ecological civilization.

Abstract:
Ecological-cultural industry is low-carbon creative industry guided by ecological culture, which is characterized by creative industry, green ecology, economic benefits, blending development. The development of ecological-cultural industry is the inner requirement to implement the scientific outlook on development, is the objective demand of the construction of ecological culture, is an important manifestation of the revival of the cultural industry, and is the main way to enhance ecological-cultural soft power. To speed up the development of ecological-cultural industry, we should vigorously promote the concept of ecological civilization, strengthen policy support and guidance, rely on scientific and technological advancements, conduct international exchanges and cooperation, and pay attention to the training and introduction of cultural talents. The report of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China discusses systematically "propel ecological civilization construction vigorously". For the first time, put ecological civilization construction, economic construction, political construction, cultural construction and social construction together to form the "five-in-one" overall layout of construction of socialism with Chinese characteristics as a separate chapter.[1] Ecological culture is an important part of ecological civilization, is an advanced culture which inherits of the traditional Chinese outstanding culture and ecological wisdom, fuses modern civilized achievements and spirits of the times, and promotes harmonious development of man and nature. Ecological-cultural industry is a combination of ecological concept and cultural industry, is an important part of constructing ecological civilization, and is a new trend of global economic and social development.

Abstract:
The population explosion has lead to a markedly increased exploitation of our natural environment, hence the expression „sustainable development“ has become a catch phrase. In a historical perspective ecological problems recently became acute and this is why it is necessary to act quickly. It is obvious that we have to pay extreme attention to how we treat our environment and our sources. This necessarily will be reflected in the actions of the lawmakers in the future, and for the building industry the results will be that the authorities will enforce new law and regulations with direct consequences for the choice of materials and building techniques. There will be developed a set of standards dealing with environmental matters, putting limitations especially on the consumption of natural resources. Some countries already has standards dealing with various ecological aspects, like recirculation, down cycling, etc. The customers will prefer building products and systems that can document compliance with environmental attitudes. For all activities the environmental burden will be evaluated and limited by laws and regulations. Consequently the industry’s accountability for the environment will be a prerequisite for remaining in business.

Abstract:
Organisms modify their environment through their activities and by doing so, they modify evolutionary pressures acting on them, as well as the ecological conditions under which they grow and reproduce. Niche construction, as defined by Odling-Smee et al. (2003), is a concept that captures the reciprocal organism-environment interaction from an evolutionary perspective. However, niche construction in the sense of biotically-driven improvement of the ecological environment has been poorly explored to date. I derive a consumer-resource model to investigate the consequences of niche construction for its agent. I show that niche construction is a mechanism by which a species enhances its ecological persistence, via positive ecological feedbacks, and partially regulates its environment against external changes, via adaptive feedbacks. Next, I integrate niche construction into traditional competition models. A species that improves the level of a limiting niche factor via niche construction simultaneously competes with adjacent species via deteriorating impacts on the level of the same or other limiting niche factors. I observe that the interplay between niche improving and niche deteriorating impacts modifies the potential for species coexistence. Moreover, I show that the niche constructing species has a facilitative effect on the equilibrium abundance of its competitor. The prevalence of the facilitative effect, however, depends on both species' competitive hierarchies and the fertility of the ecosystem. Finally, I derive a model to investigate the evolution of the strength of facilitation between two competing species, when one species improves abiotic conditions to the advantage of its competitor but without any benefit to itself. In this case, I predict that high strength of facilitation evolves in productive ecosystems. Overall, my thesis provides a novel framework for the investigation of niche improving and niche deteriorating impacts and their combined effects on species coexistence, community structure and ecosystem functioning.
Par leurs activités, les êtres vivants changent leur environnement, modifiant ainsi les pressions évolutives qui les affectent, ainsi que les conditions écologiques présidant à leur croissance et leur reproduction. Telle que définie par Odling-Smee et al (2003), la construction de niche est un concept qui recouvre l'interaction réciproque entre l'organisme et son environnement selon une perspective évolutive. Cependant, la notion de construction de niche comme amélioration de l'environnement écologique par les êtres vivants est encore peu explorée. J'ai construit un modèle d'un consommateur et de sa ressource, afin d'explorer les conséquences de la construction de niche sur l'agent de cette construction. J'ai montré que la construction est un mécanisme grâce auquel une espèce persiste plus longtemps dans l'écosystème, via des feedbacks écologiques positifs, et régule son environnement face aux changements externes, via des feedbacks adaptifs. Par la suite, j'ai intégré la construction de niche à des modèles traditionnels de compétition. Une espèce qui, par construction de niche, augmente le niveau d'un facteur limitant, entre simultanément en compétition avec les espèces voisines par sa détérioration du niveau de ce facteur ou d'autres facteurs limitants. J'ai constaté que ce jeu entre impacts positifs et négatifs sur la niche écologique modifie le potentiel de coexistence entre les espèces. De plus, j'ai montré que l'espèce qui construit sa niche a un effet facilitateur sur l'abondance de son compétiteur à l'équilibre. Cependant, l'importance de cet effet facilitateur dépend de la hiérarchie entre les capacités compétitives des deux espèces et de la productivité de l'écosystème. Enfin, j'ai construit un modèle pour examiner comment évolue l'intensité de la facilitation entre deux espèces en compétition, lorsqu'une des espèces améliore les conditions abiotiques pour l'autre espèce, sans aucun bénéfice pour elle-même. Dans ce cas, je prédis l'évolution d'un effet de facilitation fort dans les écosystèmes productifs. Globalement, ma thèse fournit un cadre de travail nouveau pour explorer les impacts amélioratifs et détérioratifs de la construction de niche, ainsi que leurs effets combinés sur la coexistence des espèces, la structure des communautés et le fonctionnement des écosystèmes.

Abstract:
School Psychology
Ph.D.
Working memory (WM) has been closely linked to learning and achievement in children (Gathercole et al., 2004). The Forchelli Following Directions Task (FFDT) is a 15-item group-administered screener designed to assess working memory ability in school-aged children. The FFDT was developed to address the need for early identification of children with working memory difficulty. It specifically focuses on the need for easily administered and ecologically valid assessment. The FFDT was developed based on tasks cited in research to assess WM. The measure was developed across three iterations after receiving continual review from research experts in working memory and a group of three elementary school teachers. It also was piloted by three elementary school children to assess group-administration considerations. Participants in the validation study were 70 elementary school students 5 to 10 years of age spanning kindergarten to third grade were recruited from schools in the greater Philadelphia area. Participants were administered the group-administered working memory screener and completed individually administered measures of working memory, the WISC-IV Digit Span and Spatial Span, for comparison. Parents and teachers also completed behavior rating scales (i.e., BRIEF) measuring working memory. The FFDT demonstrated a sufficient Alpha's coefficient, indicating internal consistency. Significant Pearson correlations were found between existing measures of WM and the FFDT, indicating that the FFDT measures WM ability to a similar extent. The FFDT demonstrated good sensitivity to age and grade, as well. Further, the results of a ROC analysis comparing the identification of WM difficulty on the FFDT to existing measures of WM demonstrated a low to moderate effect. Overall, results indicate that the FFDT exhibited good reliability and validity. The anecdotal support of elementary school teachers and time efficiency of the task compared to existing WM measures also suggests good ecological validity. This study also demonstrated the utility of the FDDT in populations within a Response to Intervention (RtI) framework. Further research will be challenged to investigate the FFDT further scrutinize the construct validity and demonstrate significance in a larger, more representative sample of students.

Abstract:
There is a growing concern that current levels of economic activity have outgrown the physical limits of the planet. In the face of global constraints, humanity continues to deplete nature, through resource harvesting and waste generation, faster than nature can regenerate itself. The UN World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED) introduced the idea of sustainable development in 1987, with the release of Our Common Future. Sustainable development has since become a powerful and controversial theme, creating seemingly impossible goals for policy makers. Sustainable indicators can be a key mechanism for encouraging progress in the right direction by providing a measuring tool that gives a clearer understanding as to whether sustainability is being achieved. The ecological footprint has emerged as an innovative technique to measure the ecological dimension of sustainability. The research tests the ecological footprint as a tool for guiding humanity towards sustainability. The research establishes whether or not the ecological footprint provides an effective accounting framework for the biophysical services that a given society requires from nature. With Guernsey as the case study, the research investigates whether or not the ecological footprint is a comprehensive tool for local policy decision-making. Considering the methodology of the ecological footprint, its use for time series analysis and the development of scenarios does this. The ecological footprint is also tested for its ability to act as a tool to communicate the ideas of sustainability. In conclusion, while containing some limitations, the ecological footprint is a tool that can facilitate the comparison of policy choices society inevitably must face. At the local level, the ecological footprint is a valuable part of the sustainable indicator tool kit. The use of the ecological footprint as a communication tool for sustainable development is invaluable. It is an indicator that can be understood by the general public and one that links individual lifestyle choices to global environmental problems. The ecological footprint is only an empirical tool and in itself cannot change anything. It is a first step in a process of change and the political will and desire to change must be the driving force. Its great advantage over other sustainability indicators is that it is holistic and makes connections between different activities and impacts. However, the ecological footprint is based on assumptions as the ratios/equations calculated by others. In conclusion, the ecological footprint demonstrates that intelligent rationalisation of means and prudent moderation of ends is the only solution. By providing common ground, the ecological footprint builds bridges between different worldviews and amplifies the resonance between all disciplines working on sustainability.

Abstract:
Thesis (MTech (Construction Management))--Cape Peninsula University of Technology, 2017.
The supply of housing products that is durable, obtained at optimum cost and available within the shortest time possible describes the term sustainable housing. Findings derived from the reviewed literature concerning the ever-increasing quest of construction clients for ‘best value for money’ on construction projects brought about the emergence of alternative contract procurement strategies. Essentially, literature revealed that it is vital to adopt an appropriate contract procurement strategy, one that best addresses particular project needs and objectives, as the adoption of an inappropriate procurement system would result in excessive project cost and time overrun, low project quality standards and the dissatisfaction of involved construction stakeholders. The quest for the supply of sustainable housing in the Western Cape, South Africa, prompted the need to establish an effective contract procurement strategy for housing project delivery. Noteworthy, this study identified five (5) objectives directed towards establishing an effective contract procurement strategy to enhance sustainable housing delivery: 1) the first objective examined the effectiveness of contract procurement strategies used for housing projects; 2) the second objective identified the factors influencing the selection of a suitable contract procurement strategy for housing projects; 3) the third objective analysed the influence of contract procurement strategies on project cost, time and quality; 4) the fourth objective examined the benefits and shortfalls associated with various contract procurement strategies on housing project resources – construction materials, machinery and manpower; 5) and the last objective was to establish the contract procurement strategy that is most effective for the delivery of sustainable housing. This research adopted a mixed methodological approach involving the administration of close-ended quantitative questionnaires submitted to construction professionals and stakeholders and semi-structured qualitative interviews conducted with construction site managers and supervisors. SPSS version 24 software was used to analyse the quantitative data elicited, and “content analysis” was used to analyse the information obtained through the qualitative interviews. Cronbach’s alpha coefficient reliability test was conducted on scaled research questions to ensure the reliability of the research questionnaire. The research findings revealed that the traditional and the design and build contract procurement approaches are cost, time and quality effective and therefore satisfactory, while the traditional contract procurement system is also effective regarding construction stakeholder satisfaction. The research identified that the significant factors influencing the selection of a contract procurement strategy include delay and mistakes in producing design documents; client inability to brief and make timely decisions; project type, nature, scope and complexity; lack of communication and feedback; lack of discipline among construction workers; and finally, lack of availability of construction materials. The study concluded that thorough consideration of these findings by construction stakeholders within the construction industry will enhance the delivery of affordable, sustainable housing. The research study recommends, among other issues, the comparison of effectiveness of contract procurement strategies on project performance on a site-by-site basis, through work study and other available strategies, to further enhance sustainable housing delivery in the South African construction industry.

Full text
Abstract:
A crucial contemporary public health issue is the construction and contestation of the relevance of the natural world to human health. Taking a critical approach, this thesis examines how the natural environment as a health determinant is positioned in relation to the 'social' within social epidemiological studies of health, illness and disease. Using conceptual and empirical forms of enquiry, this study shows how current constructions of natural environmental health drivers contour public health practice in the UK and that by challenging the limits of existing structures, innovative responses emerge, which can generate new frameworks for health policy and practice. Having identified a lacuna in research on the 'natural' environment in medical sociology, this inductive qualitative research project brings into conversation the findings from extensive desk and field research. Specially, a study of the elaboration of environmental health discourses within the UK public health policy arena and disciplinary wide discourse analyses of key academic journals are read together to describe the discursive practices shaping environmental public health work in the UK. Linking theory to practice, data from in-depth interviews with sixty health professionals working on health and the environment in the UK and internationally are used to investigate how public health practitioners produce the environment within their work remits. The research breaks ground for further social scientific studies of health and the environment and in particular substantiates the call for an extended notion of the 'environment' using ecological principles. Methodologically, the interdisciplinary reach of this research draws attention to the tensions that arise when working across the medical, natural and social sciences. Practical and philosophical questions about the challenge of expanding the sociological imagination in the contemporary moment are also considered. Empirically, to medical sociology the 'EcoBioPsychoSocial' framework is offered as a tool for studying health at the nexus between the 'social' and the 'natural environment.' Finally, the ways informal public health institutions are serving as 'invisible' forces impeding the uptake of prevention oriented environmental health policies are findings offered to the health policy arena.

Abstract:
The interactions between people and their environments have been of interest to writers and academics from different disciplines for many years. Understanding how identity is linked to environment at a group level, such as local communities, has increasingly become more topical. This research aims to further our understanding by focussing on how groups experience, interpret and define themselves in respect of their environment. In seeking to make sense of how group ecological identities are constructed, the research questions of this study focus on: understanding how environment is understood and used by groups in the construction of their ecological identity; identifying key factors that influence group ecological identity; and exploring how groups maintain and/or redefine themselves in a changing environment and in a changing political landscape. This research is framed by an interpretivist constructionist perspective, holding to the view that identity is informed by notions of self and the experience of being in the world. A case study of Hout Bay, Cape Town (South Africa) - particularly three key residential communities: the Cape Coloured Harbour, Valley and Imizamo Yethu communities - was undertaken. A qualitative methodology was adopted throughout the research design. A pilot study, involving eight participants from the Harbour and Valley communities, was conducted in 2002. Semi-structured individual interviews and focus groups were used to explore the research context, refine the research questions and to evaluate different data collection and analytical methods. Informed by the experiences of the pilot study, six main study focus groups (two per community), comprising a total of 36 people, were conducted in Hout Bay, between 2004 and 2005. Data analysis broadly focused on the stories groups told about themselves and the environment. The findings reveal that the communities' focus groups define themselves and others ecologically, in the course of their existence within the environment. Environment is interpreted by groups as more than their surroundings; it is about being emotionally and ecologically embedded in an ecological space that encompasses groups' social existence. Groups' interpret this ecological space as being about their perceptual engagement and experience of complex webs of social as well as human-non-human and non-human-non- human relations. Living in and as part of the environment, according to the groups, is informed by a sense of a moral way of being, closely linked to the groups' perceived 'right' and 'wrong' ways of how 'to be' ecological. Six key factors which shape the way groups construct their ecological identity were identified. These relate to the way groups: define environment and nature; experience and interpret shared early formative environments; identify with a particular community; are ecologically knowledgeable and skilful; pursue different understandings of a good life; and make sense of ecological risk. Similarities and differences between groups are evident and explored. This is especially revealed as groups' ecological identity constructions play out in a dynamic between different groups' pursuit of their desired good life and identities and their attempts to make sense of, and manage, ecological risk. The findings also reveal that the groups' constructions often draw on wider social and ecological stories in circulation within their communities and South Africa. In doing so, traditional and modern as well as political - colonial-apartheid and democratic - ways of dwelling and knowing themselves and others in an ecological space are revealed. The groups are consistent in displaying an on-going need to make sense of themselves and their surrounds in terms of belonging ecologically as well as socially. In making coherent their past, present and imagined future, groups' identity constructions reflect a mix of positive, negative and ambivalent experiences of who they (and others) were, are and could be. These findings challenge the familiar understanding of groups as socially defined - widening the exploration of how 'groups define themselves and engage from a social to an ecological perspective. Further research needs to be undertaken in respect of understanding how groups define and engage socially and how this shapes and is shaped by their ecological engagement, experience and interpretation. This includes studying intra and intergroup dynamics.

Abstract:
This special report discusses the outcomes of a September 2019 workshop intended to identify barriers to the consideration and implementation of natural and nature-based features (NNBF) in US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) civil works projects. A total of 23 participants representing seven USACE districts, the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), and the University of California–Santa Cruz met at USACE’s South Atlantic Division Headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, to discuss how to facilitate the implementation of NNBF into USACE project planning for wetlands and reefs using six categories: (1) site characterization, (2) engineering and design analysis, (3) life-cycle analysis, (4) economic analysis, (5) construction analysis, (6) and operation and maintenance (and monitoring). The workshop identified seven future directions in wetland and reef NNBF research and development: • Synthesize existing literature and analysis of existing projects to better define failure modes. • Determine trigger points that lead to loss of feature function. • Identify performance factors with respect to coastal storm risk management (CSRM) performance as well as ecological performance. • Focus additional research into cobenefits of NNBF. • Quantify the economic life-cycle costs of a project. • Improve technology transfer with regards to NNBF research and topics.

Abstract:
At present the information and communication technologies in education can be a catalyst in solving important social problems connected with increasing the educational resources and services availability and quality, real and equal opportunities in getting education for citizens despite their residence, social status and income. One of the most important education tasks is to develop students’ active cognitive attitude to knowledge. Cognitive activity in universities is a necessary stage in preparing for further professional life. The solution of task of formation of ecological competence of mining profile engineer requires the reasonable selection of the means of information and communication technologies conducing formation of ecological competence. Pressing task is constructive and research approach to preparation of future engineers to performance of professional duties in order to make them capable to develop engineering projects independently and exercise control competently. The relevance of the material covered in the article, due to the need to ensure the effectiveness of the educational process in the preparation of the future Mining Engineers. We analyze the source with problems of formation of ecological competence. The article focuses mainly general-purpose computer system support learning Moodle, which allows you to organize individual and collective work of students to master the specialized course teaching material used in teaching special course "Environmental Geoinformatics" in the implementation of educational research.
