Abstract:
This article analyzes the manifestation of the inversive relationship in the life cycle of the organization. Inversion is an internal contradiction in the hierarchy between the position of the hierarchical element, and its role. The reason for inversions is the discrepancy between the orientation of the organizational principles of hierarchy. The development of inversive relations leads the organization toward completion of its life cycle. Analysis of the inversive relationship in the hierarchy allows the comparative assessment of different models of the organizational life cycle.

Abstract:
Building Information Modelling (BIM) for life cycle sustainability assessment is an emerging development considered valuable given its importance in enhancing the environmentally friendly performance of buildings by delivering eco-efficient structures. However, despite its benefits, adoption is low. Thus, this study examines the key drivers of a building’s BIM-based life cycle sustainability assessment. An interpretive structural modelling approach and Matrice d’Impacts croises-multipication applique a classement (MICMAC) analysis were adopted for this study. Nineteen key drivers were categorized into a seven-level ISM model, which revealed that the successful implementation of the driving factors for BIM-based LCSA would increase its adoption and encourage users to be proactive in exploring solutions, exerting best efforts, and advancing its usage. The primary drivers, such as organizational readiness, personal willingness to use, procurement methods, and organizational structure, amongst others, are crucial for discussing BIM-based LCSA adoption strategies and making guidelines and design decisions to guide the process. This paper therefore contributes to the growing discussion on BIM from the viewpoint of an assessment of a building’s life cycle sustainability. The study concludes that organizational, governmental, and institutional support, as well as capacity development, are essential to driving BIM-Based LCSA.

Abstract:
According to data obtained from the Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report (GHG) and Monitoring, Reporting, Verification (MPV), GHG emissions are mostly caused by five industries: energy, waste, agriculture, food and land use coalition, and industry. The palm oil industry has grown significantly during the past few decades, particularly in Indonesia and Malaysia. The primary output of the palm oil sector is crude palm oil (CPO). It is anticipated that Indonesia will keep trying to satisfy domestic demand for palm oil. However, people still seek out goods made with palm oil that is environmentally friendly to create. Environmental concerns, particularly the claim that CPO production is a source of carbon release, are another obstacle to Indonesia's CPO exports to European and American nations (Uning et al., 2020). Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is the recommended approach to measure a product's or process's environmental impact with accurate results, according to a body of literature (Wahyono & Hadiyanto, 2019). Although the life cycle assessment method was first developed to evaluate how items affect the environment, it may also be customized to meet the needs of the business. As a result of this modification, UNEP developed a brand-new technique known as Organizational Life Cycle Assessment (O-LCA). There have not been many studies done in the past that use O-LCA to assess how business processes affect the environment, particularly with the idea of sustainability. Organizational life cycle assessments enable businesses to identify critical environmental operations and make improvements while considering a variety of sustainability variables, as well as other elements like environmental, economic, social, and technological considerations.

Abstract:
Freight operations are relevant for economies but can negatively impact society due to the performance of activities related to fuel production, vehicle manufacturing, and infrastructure construction. This study applies the social organizational life cycle assessment (SO-LCA) methodology to analyze the social performance of companies involved in the supply chain of road transport companies located in different contexts such as Latin American, European, and Asian. The results of the three case studies are compared to analyze the methodology’s robustness and the influence of development and culture on how social performance is perceived. An approach for the SO-LCA, based on the UNEP/SETAC guidelines, was applied to freight companies in Colombia, Spain, and Malaysia. This integrated approach considers the key components of the transport system: fuels, vehicles, and infrastructure. A multi-tier inventory analysis was performed for 26 social impact subcategories, and reference scale assessments were applied to obtain single and aggregated social performance indexes. Interviews with stakeholders were used to aggregate indexes and identify priorities for decision-making in different contexts. First, the stakeholders concurred that freight companies must focus on labor rights to improve their social performance. The second social category in order of importance was human rights, except in the Spanish case study, where it was socioeconomic repercussions. These results indicate that social impact subcategories are influenced by socioeconomic development and the culture or beliefs of its inhabitants. These specificities help identify hotspots and stakeholder concerns toward which transport companies should direct their efforts. This study expands the range of indicators for social impact measurement and the known literature by investigating social matters for different categories of stakeholders spanning three continents. When these indicators are fully developed, their consideration in management practices could benefit business practitioners.

Abstract:
Environmental sustainable development topic is increasingly at the centre of international interest. During the last decades, environmental issues have evolved from pollution and depletion of natural resources towards global issues such as climate change. Industrial organizations are exposed to risks that could undermine their market competitiveness: operative risks, financial risks, compliance risks and Market risks. In this global context, industries need of a robust Environmental Strategy for improving their competitiveness and proactively manage related risks and opportunities. In the last years, the concept of life cycle environmental management has increased its importance stressing the need of organizations manage all the environmental impacts generate by their activities and products along all values chains with a life cycle perspective. The management of life cycle performance is a multiperspectives issue and requires the use of multiple Environmental Management Tools (EMTs) to be addressed. The scientific community has responded developing many methods for multiple EMTs use. From scientific literature review several limits of current method for multiple EMTs use emerged that are circumscribable in six different critical areas: 1. environmental impact assessment, 2. Resources consumption assessment, 3. performance evaluation, 4. ecoinnovation (Eco Design, Eco Efficiency), 5. strategic decision making and 6. strategy & management. These limitations do not allow companies to have a robust and complete management of its life cycle environmental performance and therefore limit the opportunity to develop strategies that reduce the environmental impacts of the organization and its products. The present research focuses on the development and application at industrial level of a new method to combine environmental management tools (EMTs) to improve the life cycle environmental performance of industries. To do so the specific objectives of the research were the develop of a new method to combine EMTs to overcome identified criticalities and test its applicability and effectiveness to improve life cycle environmental management performance in a real industrial case study. The methodology of the research took into consideration the Environmental Management Drivers (EMDs), the Environmental Management Barriers (EMBs), the integration/combination mechanisms, the available EMTs, and the limits of already existing methods in the definition of the new method and the single case study method to address and discuss its applicability and effectiveness at industrial level. The development of the new method Organizational Environmental Sustainability System (OES2) is addressed in the first part of the research. The method has been developed combining seven different ISO EMTs: Organizational Life Cycle Assessment (ISO/TS 14072), Product Life Cycle Assessment (ISO 14040-44), Environmental Performance Evaluation (ISO 14031), Ecodesign (ISO/TR 14062), Ecoefficiency (ISO 14045), Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) and Communication & labelling tools (ISO 14025-24-21). In order to face all identified gaps and improve the operatively implementation of the method the concept of STEM (Supportive Tools to Environmental Management) has been introduced. Eight different STEMs have been implemented by OES2 method giving operative support to all implemented EMTs: Multiscale LCA (MLCA), a new mathematical model that correlates all the assessment scales (organizational, product, process); the Environmental Inventory Database (EID) and Environmental Results Database (ERD), that permits to automatize the data collection and the result management processes; the Eco Environmental Keyperformance Analyzer (Eco-EKA), that permits to perform the performance evaluation and the performance tracking with a multi scale perspective, the EcoDesign Simulation Dashboard (Eco-DSD), that permits to provide a work space to designers to simulate new ecodesign project and compare the environmental performance, the Indicator of Work Environmental Efficiency (IWEE), that allows to assess the level of ecoefficiency of industrial processes and provides solutions to improve the process management, the Strategic Environmental Decision Making module (SEDM module), that supports and increases the use of statistical and mathematical approaches to support decision making processes, and finally the Environmental Sustainability Strategy Model (ESSM), that supports the validation of environmental strategy at product and organizational level. The applicability and effectiveness of OES2 method to improve life cycle environmental management performance, is presented in the second part of the thesis. The industrial application has been conducted in Acqua Minerale San Benedetto S.p.A., one of the most important player in the beverage sector in the world. Six different tests have been performed in order to stress OES2 method in all six critical areas of environmental management. Results of the applicability of OES2 method have shown the importance to assess environmental impacts with a multiscale approach, the importance to introduce STEMs in order to support the operative implementation of EMTs and the importance to combine EMTs in order to achieve a comprehensive environmental management approach. The OES2 methods has improved the life cycle environmental management performance of San Benedetto S.p.A. in all the six critical areas. The research activities were carried out at the Department of Industrial Engineering of the Padova University and at the company Acqua Minerale San Benedetto S.p.A. (mainly production site of Scorzè). The results of the research activities are summarized in 6 chapters. Introduction: introduces the issues of environmental management and the need to use methods to combine EMTs. The scope of the research, the objectives, the dissertation structure and the research methodology are described. Chapter 1: first part of material & methods, it reports on the scientific literature review to identify limits of available methods and required characteristics to be consider for the development of the new method: Environmental Management Drivers (EMDs), the Environmental Management Barriers (EMBs), the integration/combination mechanisms, the available EMTs, and the already existing methods for multiple EMTs use. Chapter 2: second part of material & methods, it reports on the development of the OES2 methods and the methodological development of STEMs. Chapter 3: presents the results of the industrial application tests carried out in San Benedetto S.p.A. focusing the attention on how the OES2 method permits to solve the identified gaps on life cycle environmental management performance of the organization. Chapter 4: presents the discussion on the results with reference to already published methods for multiple EMTs use and objectives of the research. Chapter 5: reports on research contributions and perspectives for future researches.

Abstract:
The main objective is to perform a life cycle assessment (LCA) on a hot milk high-speed centrifugal separator (HMRPX 918-HGV-74C, product number 881275 01 01. The purpose of a life cycle assessment (LCA) is to provide a picture of a product’s total environmental impact during its lifecycle. The study is carried out according to ISO 14 040, i.e. all methods, data and assumptions are accounted for in order to make an external review possible. An LCA could provide the basis for an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). The LCA clearly shows that the main environmental impact of the separator is caused by CIP and electricity used during operation. The major part of the impact from the CIP chemicals is due to the energy needed for their manufacture. Fossil fuels account for most of the impact for both operation and manufacture of chemicals. Therefore customers should be encouraged to use environmentally friendly electricity and chemicals, such as renewable energy sources and sodium hydroxide made with membrane technology. It is also important to use as little as possible of cleaning agents and make sure that waste is treated properly.

Abstract:
Making correct design decisions during the early stages of the engineering design process is increasingly seen to be important, as changes during the later stage can be costly. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is used as a method to evaluate the design from 'cradle to grave'. In concept design, decisions are made that have a most significant influence on the life cycle, but at this stage the lack of detail makes LCA very difficult if not impossible. This thesis introduces a method that enables an 'order-of-magnitude' life cycle assessment during the concept stage of the design process. This is achieved by modelling the life cycle inventory as a function of design parameters for complete product families used in engineering design. The hypothesis is that relatively few so-called life cycle parameters determine the largest part of the life cycle inventory. Furthermore, design parameters are related to life cycle parameters, which are mathematically modelled. Design parameters are chosen so that they can be estimated early during the design process. The models of the life cycle parameters are expressed in terms of upper and lower limits, summarising data from many product families. More detailed models describe the relationships of single product families. The method is suitable for software implementation, which will especially aid the handling of sensitivity analysis. Two case studies (sealed lead acid batteries, three-phase asynchronous motors) are used to illustrate how the life cycle parameters are related to the design parameters. An overall outline of how the method is implemented into the overall design process completes the thesis (evaluation of parallel and series configuration hybrid electric vehicle).

Abstract:

In the present work, life cycle information is developed to provide environmental input into process development and chemical selection within the pharmaceutical industry. The evaluation at various stages of the development process for Sertraline Hydrochloride, an effective chiral antidepressant, was conducted. This evaluation included the Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) and further Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to compare several synthetic routes and production processes of this pharmaceutical product. To complete the Sertraline analysis, a methodology to generate gate-to-gate life cycle information of chemical substances was developed based on a transparent methodology of chemical engineering process design (an ab initio approach). In the broader concept of an LCI, the information of each gate-to-gate module can be linked accordingly in a production chain, including the extraction of raw materials, transportation, disposal, reuse, etc. to provide a full cradle-to-gate evaluation. Furthermore, the refinery, energy and treatment sub-modules were developed to assess the environmental burdens related to energy requirements and waste treatment. Finally, the concept of a Á¤lean/Green Technology GuideÃ?was also proposed as an expert system that would provide the scientists with comparative environmental and safety performance information on available technologies for commonly performed unit operations in the pharmaceutical industry. With the expected future application of computer-aid techniques for combinatorial synthesis, an increase of the number of parallel routes to be evaluated in the laboratory scale might be predicted. Life cycle information might also be added to this combinatorial synthesis approach for R&D. This input could be introduced in the earlier stages of process design in order to select cleaner materials or processes using a holistic perspective. This life cycle approach in pharmaceutical synthesis is intended to facilitate the evaluation, comparison, and selection of alternative synthesis routes, by incorporating the overall environmental impact of routes.

Abstract:
Mit Ökobilanzen werden Umwelteigenschaften von Produkten und Dienstleistungen analysiert und zunehmend bei der Bewertung von Milchproduktionssystemen eingesetzt. Um konsistente Berichterstattung und Vergleichbarkeit von produktbezogenen Treibhausgasemissionen im Milchsektor zu gewährleisten hat die International Dairy Federation (IDF) Berechnungsgrundlagen publiziert. Allerdings werden die Effekte von Variabilität betrieblicher Kennzahlen und Unsicherheit von Emissionsfaktoren unzureichend betrachtet. Diese Arbeit hat es zum Ziel diese Lücke zu schließen. In der ersten Studie wurden verschiedene Definitions- und Berechnungsmöglichkeiten des Referenzflusses und der funktionellen Einheit für die Klimabilanz von Milchproduktion verglichen. Eine hohe Bandbreite an möglichen Ergebnissen – bei gleichen Eingangsdaten – ermöglicht eine große Ergebnisunsicherheit. Die Voraussetzungen für zeitliche Repräsentativität wurden in der zweiten Studie untersucht. Über 6 aufeinanderfolgende Jahre wurde auf einem ökologischen Milchviehbetrieb in Norddeutschland die Klimabilanz mit einem detaillierten Stoffflussmodel analysiert. Dabei zeigte es sich, dass für den untersuchten Betrieb mindestens 4 aufeinanderfolgende Jahre untersucht werden müssen um belastbare Ergebnisse zu erzielen. Die dritte Studie befasst sich mit der Forderung mindestens ein Stufe 2 Verfahren der Methodik des IPCC zu verwenden. Mit Daten von 20 norwegischen Milchviehbetrieben wurde die Unsicherheit der Klimabilanz auf Basis von Tier 1 Berechnungen bei bodenbürtigen Emissionen mit dem FARM Modell ermittelt. Von allen 190 direkten Vergleichen von zwei Betrieben miteinander waren 78 % signifikant unterschiedlich Aus den drei Studien wird geschlossen, dass die existierenden Regeln zur Erstellung von Klimabilanzen von Milchproduktion teilweise zu unpräzise und teilweise zu streng sind, und damit sowohl Erstellung als auch Interpretation von betrieblichen Klimabilanzen in der Milchproduktion erschwert werden.
Life cycle assessment (LCA) analyses the environmental performance of products and services and has become increasingly important also for the environmental assessment of dairy systems. In order to create consistent results for communication, declaration and comparison, the International Dairy Federation (IDF) provides a guideline for the calculation of product-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the dairy sector. However, the effects of farm data variability and emission factor uncertainty on the comparability of GHG assessments on the farming level are seldom considered. This thesis aims to fill this gap. In the first study, different settings in the definition of energy corrected milk (ECM) and the reference flows were compared in a calculation example based on average farming data. A high bandwidth of the carbon footprint result indicated a severe uncertainty when calculation procedures are not well documented. The second case study examined the production data from six consecutive milk years in an organic dairy farm in northern Germany and its effect on the estimation of product-related GHG emissions. It was shown that data from at least four years is needed to provide reliable results for that farm. The third study dealt with the demand of the IDF guidelines to use at least Tier 2 in the methodology of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Using data from 20 Norwegian dairy farms, the uncertainty of the carbon footprint using Tier 1 of the IPCC guidelines within the FARM model was assessed. From all 190 direct comparisons of two farms in the study, 78 % of the comparisons were significantly different with a relative difference of 8.7 % being enough to establish significance of the difference. From the three studies it was concluded that existing rules may partly not be precise enough to allow for comparison of farms or farming systems, or partly too strict and thereby hindering the execution of carbon footprint studies.

Abstract:
The building industry is responsible for 35% of final energy use and 38% of CO2 emissions at a global level. The European Union aims to reduce CO2 emissions in the building industry by up to 90% by the year 2050. Therefore, it is important to consider the environmental impacts buildings have. The purpose of this thesis was to investigate the environmental impacts and costs of a single-family house in Sweden. In the study, the life cycle assessment (LCA) and the life cycle cost (LCC) methods have been used by following the “cradle to grave” life cycle perspective.  This study shows a significant reduction of global warming potential (GWP), primary energy (PE) use and costs when the lifespan of the house is shifted from 50 to 100 years. The findings illustrate a total decrease in LCA outcome, of GWP to 27% and PE to 18%. Considering the total LCC outcome, when the discount rate increases from 3% to 5% and then 7%, the total costs decrease significantly (60%, 85% to 95%). The embodied carbon, PE use and costs from the production stage/construction stage are significantly reduced, while the maintenance/replacement stage displays the opposite trend. Operational energy use, water consumption and end-of-life, however, remain largely unchanged. Furthermore, the findings emphasize the importance of using wood-based building materials due to its lower carbon-intensive manufacturing process compared to non-wood choices.   The results of the LCA and LCC were systematically studied and are presented visually. Low carbon and cost-effective materials and installations have to be identified in the early stage of a building design so that the appropriate investment choices can be made that will reduce a building’s total environmental and economic impact in the long run. Findings from this thesis provide a greater understanding of the environmental and economic impacts that are relevant for decision-makers when building single-family houses.
Byggbranschen svarar för 35% av den slutliga energianvändningen och 38 % av koldioxidutsläppen på global nivå. Europeiska unionen strävar efter att minska koldioxidutsläppen i byggnadsindustrin med upp till 90% fram till 2050. Därför är det viktigt att beakta byggnaders miljöpåverkan. Syftet med denna avhandling var att undersöka miljöpåverkan och kostnader för ett enfamiljshus i Sverige. I studien har livscykelbedömningen (LCA) och livscykelkostnadsmetoderna (LCC) använts genom att tillämpa livscykelperspektivet ”vagga till grav”. Studien visar en stor minskning av global uppvärmningspotential (GWP), användning av primärenergi (PE) och kostnader vid växling från 50 till 100 års husets livslängd. Resultaten visar en årlig minskning med 27% för utsläpp av växthusgaser och med 18% för användningen av primärenergi. Med tanke på det totala LCC-utfallet, när diskonteringsräntan ökar från 3%, 5% till 7%, minskar de totala kostnaderna avsevärt (60%, 85% till 95%). Det noteras att klimatavtrycket, primärenergianvändningen och kostnaderna från produktionssteget/konstruktionssteget minskar avsevärt, medan underhålls- / utbytessteget visar den motsatta trenden när man byter från 50 till 100 års livslängd. Den operativa energianvändningen, vattenförbrukningen och avfallshanteringen är fortfarande nästan samma när man ändrar livslängden. Vidare betonar resultaten vikten av att använda träbaserade byggmaterial på grund av lägre klimatpåverkan från tillverkningsprocessen jämfört med alternativen. LCA- och LCC-resultaten studerades systematiskt och redovisades visuellt. De koldioxidsnåla och kostnadseffektiva materialen och installationerna måste identifieras i ett tidigt skede av en byggnadskonstruktion genom att välja lämpliga investeringsval som kommer att minska de totala miljö och ekonomiska effekterna på lång sikt. Resultaten från denna avhandling ger ökad förståelse för miljömässiga och ekonomiska konsekvenser som är relevanta för beslutsfattare vid byggnation av ett enfamiljshus.

Abstract:
AbstractEmmaüs International a non-governmental organization (NGO) in the social and environmental sector had practiced, since its foundation – now more than 60 years – the recuperation of objects that others consider as waste. This activity had allowed collecting the funds to help the needy giving them the means to find their dignity that society had taken. Nowadays, the modes had changed, and these recovery activities had made of Emmaüs movement a well-known actor against the non-controlled waste “an environmental actor” working in the reuse and recycling. Given its environmental focus, Emmaüs has interest in assessing the environmental impacts of its own activities throughout the whole value chain. Therefore, an organizational life cycle assessment (O-LCA) study had been conducted as a test in one Emmaüs community. The study was realized in the framework of the road testing of the UNEP/SETAC Guidance on Organizational Life Cycle Assessment. It is important to mention that the avoided burdens assessment is not part of the O-LCA method.

Abstract:
A necessary basis for the functioning, development and achievement of the goals of agricultural corporations in today's crisis environment is the providing of financial stability, the role of which is particularly growing in today's challenging environment. The regular changes of external and internal factors influencing the functioning of economic entities actualize the need to study the components of this category to ensure the ability of the enterprise to adapt while maintaining its integrity. The purpose of the article is to substantiate theoretical provisions and develop recommendations for ensuring the adequacy and systematic process of evaluating the financial stability of agricultural corporations based on the analysis of financial ratios. The object of the study is the process of assessing the financial stability of enterprises. The methodological basis of the article is general scientific and special methods of research, which are based on modern scientific concepts of management, economic and related sciences. The following methods were used in the study: monographic (comparing and detailing the data of financial stability analysis of agrarian corporations); abstract-logical (used to formulate theoretical generalizations and conclusions). Based on the works of scientists, it is established that the formation of financial stability of agricultural corporations should be based on a comprehensive study of the conditions for its provision, must take into account the features of financial development and the state of agricultural enterprises. A comprehensive study of such issues will solve the problem of financial stability on the basis of organizational support of its management system. The relevance of the assessment of the state of financial stability management in agricultural enterprises is determined, the holding of which is of particular importance due to the possibility of making managerial strategic decisions to improve the management of financial stability. The article analyszes the financial stability of agricultural corporations. It is substantiated that the unstable financial condition of some agrarian corporations is a consequence of the lack of organization of management of specific subsystems of their economic activity. Throughout the life cycle, enterprises are accompanied by situations that may cause undesirable changes to their financial stability. Therefore, we consider it necessary to implement financial stability management at all stages of the company's life cycle by systematically monitoring the relevant ratios. The practical significance of the results obtained is determined by the fact that conclusions and suggestions can be used for more objective decision-making, which based on the analysis of financial ratios, and in turn can be the basis for making optimal financial decisions. This material can be used to make strategic management decisions by agro-holding managers.

Abstract:
Abstract Assessment of corroded mooring chain for continued service is a challenging task faced by industry. Current best practice relies heavily on qualitative inspection information collected during inspection campaign. There has been little investigation into this practice and whether it is an appropriate technique or can be improved. To address this issue, the Fatigue of Corroded Mooring Chains (FoCCs) Joint Industry Project (JIP), initiated in 2016 with fifteen (15) participating organizations, including oil majors, chain manufactures, consulting firms, and classification societies, to examine assessment methods for evaluating remaining fatigue life. JIP teams were formed to progress fatigue testing and finite element objectives. One such team, comprised of ExxonMobil, ABS and Asian Star Anchor Chain, has performed an additional series of fatigue tests beyond the core JIP work effort. A fatigue test was conducted to 1) demonstrate the utility of finite element analysis in the assessment of fatigue life and 2) demonstrate performance of simulated damage. This unique fatigue test program was conducted on mooring chain with manufactured “corrosion pits” of different dimensions. All chain surface features were digitally recorded and converted into finite element models. These models were subsequently analyzed to compare with test results — both cycle count and failure location. This paper presents the findings from these fatigue tests and finite element analyses and how they can be utilized for assessment of remaining fatigue life.

Abstract:
At our previous laboratory experiments, it was found that different spring barley varieties have some different reactions to the cadmium stress at the morphologic, cytogenetic and biochemical levels of plants organization. Thus, the goal of the current work was to assess the reliability of the previous results at full vegetation cycle of plant. The experiment was carried out on the loamy soil with four contrasting at its reactions to the cadmium barley varieties. Cadmium tolerant varieties demonstrated significantly higher values of productivity (e.g. straw, in this case, weighted four times more) and had a less amounts of Cd2+ accumulated at tissues (1.2–2.5 times) in contrast to sensitive ones, which, in fact, gave no harvest at Cd2+pollution at a rate of 50 mg/kg. The identified polymorphism of barley varieties in terms of resistance is maintained throughout the plant’s life cycle.

Abstract:
<p>Broadly defined, infrastructure includes structures, equipment, and services that provide society with shelter, mobility, water services, and energy. It is one of the most important investments soci- ety and private organizations make in perpetuity, year after year, generation after generation. It is also one of the most expensive. Suboptimal or outright bad decisions end up costing us a lot.</p><p>The external costs of infrastructure are not understood completely, but they are sure to be enor- mous. It is up to all professionals involved with infrastructure, primarily civil and environmental en- gineers, to help in assessing the environmental and societal costs of infrastructure, one of the most important components of a more sustainable future. We need to reduce external costs, as well as manage the life cycles of infrastructure components with resource depletion, rising economic costs, changing societal expectations, climate change, and an ever-changing global society in view.</p><p>There is widespread manifestation that we have not done enough about our civil infrastructure. While the energy system, vehicle manufacturing, and a handful of other industries have already spent significant research and development resources to reduce their external costs, we can do much more about our buildings, roads, and mobility, water, and waste management systems with respect to smarter and more sustainable material selection, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and end of life. These systems are interconnected, and the way to reduce their im- pacts will have to come through multifaceted approaches that simultaneously consider the various systems. We need to start asking questions that span multiple infrastructure systems, and develop models and methods that simultaneously improve and optimize them. However, across the board, data are missing to make the best decisions. Infrastructure is ubiquitous but unique, which makes data collection challenging. But using average data and assuming that all infrastructure components are the same throughout their life cycle around the world is unhelpful for robust decision making. We need to accelerate data collection and methods development for environmental assessment of infrastructure.</p>

Full text
Abstract:
Recent incidents and consequent regulatory processes have increased awareness and concern regarding the threat of SCC (Stress Corrosion Cracking). Throughout the world research organizations and operators are building processes to both validate the presence of SCC and, where present, assess the pipeline for the SCC threat. SCC is not a concern in the majority of the pipelines, however for the pipelines that do have SCC it is one of the major threats leading more often to ruptures than leaks. Therefore validating the presence of SCC is an important step in threat management. Where SCC threat has not been discovered operators need to check for susceptibility and where susceptible validate the threat of SCC. The validation of SCC threat does not require all the measurement capabilities required to assess the pipeline once cracking is discovered. This paper describes the benefits and limitations of ILI inspection, direct assessment (SCCDA), and hydrostatic testing in terms of detection, false indication, classification, measurement accuracy of defect sizes, and life-cycle assessment. The technologies are critically reviewed and compared using quantitative probabilistic methodologies. Case studies are simulated to demonstrate how the different technologies perform to provide immediate and future integrity. The performance characteristics are discussed and combined to form a comprehensive crack management plan that can provide safety, regulatory compliance and related economies to the crack management process.

Full text
Abstract:
Remediation of environmental sites is of concern across the rail industry. Impacted sites may result from releases of chemicals to the environment along active rail lines or in rail yards; historical activities; or through acquisition of impacted property. Management of these liabilities may require investigation, planning, design, and remediation to reduce risks to human health and the environment and meet regulatory requirements. However, these investigation and remediation activities may generate unintended environmental, community, or economic impacts. To address these impacts, many organizations are focusing on the incorporation of sustainability concepts into the remediation paradigm. Sustainable remediation is defined as the use of sustainable practices during the investigation, construction, redevelopment, and monitoring of remediation sites, with the objective of balancing economic viability, conservation of natural resources and biodiversity, and the enhancement of the quality of life in surrounding communities (Sustainable Remediation Forum [SURF]). Benefits of considering and implementing measures to balance the three pillars of sustainability (i.e., society, economics, and environment) may include lower project implementation costs, reduced cleanup timeframes, and maximizing beneficial while alleviating detrimental impacts to surrounding communities. Sustainable remediation has evolved from discussions of environmental impacts of cleanups (with considerable greenwashing), to quantifying and minimizing the environmental footprint and subsequent long-term global impacts of a remedy, and currently, incorporating strategies to address all three components of sustainability — environmental, social, and economic. As organizations expand their use of more sustainable approaches to site cleanup, it is beneficial to establish consistent objectives and metrics that will guide implementation across a portfolio of sites. Sustainable remediation objectives should be consistent with corporate sustainability goals for environmental performance (e.g., greenhouse gas emissions, resource consumption, or waste generation), economic improvements (i.e., reduction of long term liability), and community engagement. In the last decade, there have been several Executive Orders (13423, 13514, 13693) that provide incrementally advanced protocols for achieving sustainability in government agency and corporate programs. Resources for remediation practitioners are available to assist in developing sustainable approaches, including SURF’s 2009 White Paper and subsequent issue papers, ITRC’s Green and Sustainable Remediation: State of the Science and Practice (GSR-1) and A Practical Framework (GSR-2), and ASTM’s Standard Guide for Greener Cleanups (E2893-16) and Standard Guide for Integrating Sustainable Objectives into Cleanup (E2876-13). These documents discuss frameworks that may be applied to projects of any size and during any phase of the remediation life cycle, and many provide best management practices (BMPs) that may be implemented to improve the environmental, social, or economic aspects of a project. Many of these frameworks encourage a tiered approach that matches the complexity of a sustainability assessment to the cost and scope of the remediation. For small remediation sites, a sustainability program may include the selection, implementation, or tracking of BMPs. A medium sized remediation site may warrant the quantification of environmental impacts (e.g., air emissions, waste generation, etc.) during the evaluation and selection of remedial alternatives. Often, only large and costly remediation sites demand detailed quantitative assessment of environmental impacts (e.g., life cycle assessment), economic modeling, or extensive community or stakeholder outreach. However, if a tiered approach is adopted by an organization, components of each of these assessments can be incorporated into projects where it makes sense to meet the needs of the stakeholders.

Abstract:
Now the whole life of a person has switched to online mode. These changes also affected the education system. This means the need to introduce new technologies into the educational process. Books, manuals, printed publications are being replaced by electronic educational resources. Providing up-to-date, verified information to students has always been and remains one of the most important functions of the teacher. Unfortunately, with the transition of training to the online mode, the teacher cannot use his literature when conducting classes. In this regard, there is a need to use electronic resources. On the one hand, the development of the global network implies the presence of a large number of a wide variety of sites, which cannot but be a positive aspect, because both the teacher and the student can independently choose a resource that will be most understandable. But on the other hand, the variety of Internet resources implies the presence of unverified, false information, which can negatively affect the quality of education. That is why it is necessary to analyze new information systems. The problem is the presence of a large number of information technologies and resources used in education. Purpose. The goal is to conduct a comparative analysis of educational electronic publications and resources most often used by teachers of the natural science cycle in terms of their fullness, accessibility and use in the educational process. Method or methodology of the work. The requirements for the organization of a comprehensive examination suggest an approach that includes an examination of technical and technological, psychological, pedagogical and design-ergonomic aspects of the creation and use of educational electronic publications and resources, in our work we were based precisely on generalized research methods: 1) Technical and technological expertise (technical component of the site, its position in the network). 2) Psychological and pedagogical expertise (component by the type of educational electronic publication or resource, level of education, type and form of the educational process, assessment of the content and scenario of the informatization tool). 3) Design-ergonomic expertise (assessment of the quality of interface components of educational electronic publications and resources, their compliance with uniform ergonomic, aesthetic and health-saving requirements; assessment of the quality of interface components of educational electronic editions and resources, their compliance with uniform ergonomic, aesthetic and health-saving requirements). Results. The main sites that are frequently used by teachers of the natural science cycle of disciplines are the Russian Textbook corporation, the Enlightenment group of companies, the Binom publishing house, the Digital Age School, the practical significance of the study is determined by the high level of readiness of the results obtained, during the study it was found that it is advisable to introduce an information-electronic educational site - the Russian textbook corporation - into the pedagogical practice of the implementation of natural science subjects. The advantages of this server were established and recommendations for its use in the educational process were developed. Practical implications: the results obtained are expedient to be applied in educational institutions of the Russian Federation.
