Abstract:

Instituto Centro de Ensino TecnolÃgico<br>The underground dam is a social technology of low cost and simple process of construction and operation. In the semi-arid zone of Ceara there is potential to build approximately 3,400 underground dams. The central problem of this study is the lack of in-depth knowledge of the degree of sustainability of underground dams of CearÃ, in economic, social, environmental and institutional terms. The objective of this thesis is to analyze the sustainability of underground dams, the state of CearÃ, as a social technology to living as semi-arid. For this, we use

Background: Many change processes in organizations fail and efficient change management is therefore crucial for success. For successful change to be possible, an organization needs to be readied for that change. The growing demand on sustainable business practices leads organizations to embrace sustainable development and therefore go through change. Change readiness can be viewed on two levels; organizational and individual and there are different factors impacting each of these levels. Examples of such factors are Vision & Goals, Organizational structure and A sense of urgency. Purpose:

Stakeholder perspectives, gathered from a fieldwork survey of 933 households in West Bengal in 2012, played a significant role in this assessment. This research found that the ‘Most Important’ issues as specified by the technology users are cost, trust, distance from their home to the clean water source (an indicator of convenience), and understanding the health effects of arsenic.

These range from increasing public engagement to public service reform and health improvement, and are addressed by designers working collaboratively with a range of people affected by the challenges, such as the public, service providers and frontline workers.

Sustainable performance of buildings has become a major concern among construction industry professionals. However, sustainability considerations are often treated as an add-on to building design, following ad hoc processes for their implementation. As a result, the most common problem to achieve a sustainable building outcome is the absence of the right information at the right time to make critical decisions. For design team members to appreciate the requirements of multidisciplinary collaboration, there is a need for transparency and a shared understanding of the process. The aim of this st

Abstract:

Sustainable development and projects are relatively new terms In the South African context. This study explores these concepts as they relate to a school that is piloting a project in the Eastern Cape. A number of projects have been introduced in disadvantaged schools to redress imbalances of the past. Funders invest a lot of money, but when they leave, schools struggle to sustain these initiatives. This study aims to investigate whether the Imbewu Project, an educational development pilot project meant to improve schools in the Eastern Cape, made provision for long-term sustainability and whe

Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important aspect in all facets of engineering. It is in particular an important consideration in the structural engineering industry, due to the prominence of the negative impact this industry has on the environment, both on a national and international scale. The problem, however, is that sustainability is a mostly unknown and highly debated topic. It is not only difficult to quantify, but even difficult just to define. In the field of structural engineering it is an especially d

Abstract:

Today’s international and connected environment has amplified the frequency of project business as a means to realize large transnational and global investments in world infrastructure. However, to realize an international infrastructure project, large collaboration among the right actors must be formed. A common and pressing issue is communication barriers and misunderstandings, hampering a single company’s capabilities to take full advantage of the opportunities auctioned or mutually created. Therefore, the purpose of this thesis is to explore the potential impact the organizational culture

Inom området hållbarhetsledning så finns det många verktyg som har utvecklats för att hjälpa företag att adressera och hantera olika delar av hållbarhet. Mängden verktyg som finns tillgängliga innebär att det är en utmaning i sig att välja det bästa möjliga verktyget för ett givet företag. För små och medelstora företag finns ytterligare svårigheter inom de flesta delar av hållbarhetsledning, framför allt på grund av begränsade resurser. En av dessa utmaningar är att hitta och implementera lämpliga och användbara hållbarhetsledningsverktyg. Många hållbarhetsledningsverktyg fokuserar på olika o

Partendo da un'analisi generale sull'importanza della plastica come materia prima a livello globale con le sue relative implicazioni ambientali e non, ci si è successivamente focalizzati sulla produzione del PVC. Si è applicata la metodologia "Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)" prendendo in considerazione tutti gli step necessari per la sintesi di un kilogrammo di PVC. L'utilizzo del GaBi software ha successivemente permesso di implemetare l'analisi ed ottenere risultati in termini di indici (eventualmente aggregati in indicatori), singoli valori che hanno permesso di valutare l'impatto ambientale

Abstract:

Tourism and food are two sectors that have major impact on the environment, including the amount of global greenhouse gases (GHGs) they emit. The potential of the tourism sector to mitigate greenhouse gases through adaptation strategies of food supply and consumption at breakfast buffets in hotels is the major field of investigation in the current study. This thesis contributes an empirical analysis that uses knowledge from fieldwork in a touristic area in Sweden. The empirical work of this study consists of two steps. First, measuring the (un)sustainability of breakfast buffets in hotels, u

Abstract:

Ensuring correct analytical responses is of the utmost importance in laboratory workand interferences with analyses can give incorrect results. Work to improve the precision of the analyses is an ongoing process. An interference in the analysis of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), a cytokine that reflects inflammatory processes in the body, is biotin. Biotin interferes with EnzymeLinkedImmunoSorbentAssay (ELISA) analysis by binding in to streptavidin thereby causing falsely low analytical responses. An attempt to reduce that interference is to raise the threshold for biotin by introducing a new reagent. T

Abstract:

Traditionally, environmental impacts of man made products have been determined by performing a life cycle assessment (LCA) on the product. As the name implies, LCA is usually covers the entire life of the product in a so-called "cradle-to-grave" assessment. In determining environmental impacts over the whole product life, LCA's are reasonably adequate. However, in providing detailed impacts on a particular phase of life, LCA's are lacking. Detailed assessments are important because very few stakeholders have influence over a product during all phases of life. Stakeholders need detailed impact

Abstract:

Climate change is an ongoing problem, and climate adaptation is high on the agenda. Climate adaptation is a global issue with local impacts, and it benefits from participatory planning. Participatory planning has lots of opportunities, but also some challenges, for example, that it requires time and resources. Getting minority groups involved can also be a challenge. This study aims to investigate the opportunities and challenges with digital storytelling as a method to amplify the voices of the community and create a mutual understanding of climate change and climate adaptation between the ci

Abstract:

Concrete, the second most used material in the world, presents great performance and economic benefits. Yet, it is often characterized by a brittle behaviour, low tensile strength, and toughness. Fibers are usually added to concrete to counteract its brittle behaviour, increasing ductility and toughness, controlling crack propagation and delaying concrete failure. However, their addition significantly worsens the fresh state performance of the material. To improve fresh state of the so-called Fiber Reinforced Concrete (FRC), conventional mix-design methods recommend the use of high paste conte
