Abstract:

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) express the commitment of countries to integrate ecosystem and biodiversity values into national planning. The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting – Experimental Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA-EEA) is an emerging international standard measurement framework for national ecosystem accounting. The international official statistics community proposes the SEEA-EEA as a means of integrating ecosystem and biodiversity values into national planning by providing guidance on measuring ecosystems and their contribution to the economy. Implementation of such a

Abstract:

Ever since the environment and nonhumanity became major ethical topics, human-centered worldviews have been blamed for all that is morally wrong about our dealings with nature. Those who consider themselves nonanthropocentrists typically assume that the West’s anthropocentric axiologies and ontologies underlie all of the environmental degradations associated with our species. On the other hand, a handful of environmental philosophers argue that anthropocentrism is perfectly acceptable as a foundation for environmental ethics. According to Bryan Norton’s convergence hypothesis, "If reasonably i

Wave-dominated and mixed tidal and wave energy barrier islands are assumed to have characteristic dune topographies that link to their macroscale form. However, there has been no systematic attempt to describe the linkage between barrier island macroscale form and dune topography. The goal of this thesis was to investigate how dune topographies correspond to a number of barrier island morphologies found along the southeastern U.S. Atlantic coast. Macroscale process-form variables were used to classify 77 islands into seven morphologic clusters. Islands from each cluster were selected and sites

Abstract:

This research examines ways to assess the built environment (BE) for its impacts on the ecosystems and its sustainability in terms of social, economic and environmental aspects on an urban scale. The examination is based on the argument, acknowledged in the literature, that urbanisation is one of the leading causes of unsustainable development, and that the BE makes a significant contribution to this. In order to accomplish this, urban dynamics are identified and mapped with respect to the built environment, and the relationship between urbanisation, the built environment, and the ecosystem is

Nos últimos anos, os impactos da poluição no meio ambiente se tornou um tema de grande relevância, uma vez que níveis desmedidos de emissões têm sido responsáveis por alterações ambientais. Muitos autores se dedicaram a estudar a relação existente entre o crescimento econômico e a poluição. Destes estudos, surgiram duas abordagens distintas: Curva Ambiental de Kuznets e convergência das emissões. A Curva Ambiental de Kuznets postula a existência de uma relação no formato U invertido entre emissões e renda. Desta forma, à medida que renda alcança um certo nível, a taxa de crescimento das emissõ

To further improve the automatic service composition feature, three strategies including passive update, active update and hybrid update are proposed and analyzed.

Abstract:

Information security risks in the operational technology (OT) environment is becoming legitimate challenges for businesses pursing an industrial digitalisation. IT and OT di˙erences reach across managerial, technical and operational aspects, creating unique challenges in developing a suÿcient security posture. The goal of the study is to gain an understanding of the challenges businesses face when applying information security in the operational technology environment in the context of an increased connectivity to the IT environment. In order to understand how information security is adapted t

Cette thèse étudie l’intégration des enjeux environnementaux aux politiques énergétiques française et allemande entre 1973 et 2000. Alors que les deux pays sont généralement analysés à l’aune de leurs divergences, il s’agit ici au contraire de déterminer si le développement de la protection de l’environnement n’a pas contribué à des phénomènes de convergence. Pour ce faire, les systèmes énergétiques des deux pays sont étudiés dans leur globalité et à travers une perspective historique longue. Au-delà de la question nucléaire, c’est bien l’intégralité du mix énergétique et de l’évolution des co

Abstract:

The life expectancy development during the past 150 years has been remarkable in many parts of the world. These developments, however, have been very different across countries. In Europe, the diverse historical and political changes lead to clusters of regions that followed different mortality developments. The aim of this study was to examine how countries that entered the European Union in 2004 and 2007 differ in terms of mortality from continuous members of the EU and from Eastern European countries that have never joined the EU. Moreover, I studied a possible convergence in mortality indi

Abstract:

Understanding the processes that drive adaptive change in response to environmental variation and their consequences for speciation have long been key questions in evolutionary biology. Following origins in seawater, a number of animal groups invaded and colonized freshwater successfully over various evolutionary timeframes. Crustaceans represent a group of relatively recent colonizers of freshwater that now show extensive diversity with representative taxa found in virtually all aquatic environments. Macrobrachium (Family: Palaemonidae) are one of the most speciose and diversified of all crus

Abstract:

As the demands for energy increased with the global increase in population, there is a need to create and invest in more clean and renewable energy sources. Energy derived from the movement of the tides is an ancient concept that is currently being harnessed in a handful of large tidal range locations. However, the need to move from fossil fuel driven energy sources to those that are clean and non-polluting is a priority for a sustainable future. Globally, hydropower potential is estimated to be more than 16,400-Terawatt hours annually. Given that the electricity consumption worldwide was at 1

Abstract:

L'étude des impacts du changement climatique actuel est soumise à plusieurs contraintes. Premièrement, si avant la révolution industrielle la variabilité du climat est uniquement conduite sur une large gamme d'échelle par des forçages naturels, cela n'est pas le cas au XXe siècle. Deuxièmement, les effets de ce changement montrent des variations significatives à l'échelle régionale. Ainsi, sur la base d'analyses spectrales, ces travaux réexaminent l'instabilité spatio-temporelle des téléconnexions entre la variabilité climatique globale du secteur Atlantique et les climats régionaux du NW Euro
