Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Environment Origin and Role

Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Environment Origin and Role

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are toxic degradation resistant bio accumulative and display wide spatial distribution which has been linked to mutagenic reproductive and immunological disorders. In Stockholm Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) are toxic degradation resistant bio-accumulative and display wide spatial distribution which has been linked to mutagenic reproductive and immunological disorders. At the Stockholm Convention a global treaty was signed to minimize and ultimately eliminate the release of POPs into the environment. The present compilation regarding POPs focusses on the sources atmospheric behavior terrestrial and aquatic food chain transfer human exposure and fate aspects of this important class of chemicals including topical issues like temporal trends in contamination. Furthermore the chemical characteristics of individual POPs are also addressed. Features: Provides better understanding of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) and how they affect humans and ecosystems. Includes genesis categories environmental fate and behavior and associated hazards. Reviews analytical techniques involved in detection human exposure and management. Discusses environmental dynamics of POPs. Focuses on the comprehensive account of PCDD/Fs PCBs PAH and other organochlorine POPs such as DDT lindane and dieldrin. This book is aimed at researchers professionals and graduate students in Life Science Occupational Health and Safety Chemical Engineering and Environmental Engineering. | Persistent Organic Pollutants in the Environment Origin and Role

Managing Millennials The Ultimate Handbook for Productivity Profitability and Professionalism

Managing Millennials The Ultimate Handbook for Productivity Profitability and Professionalism

The Millennial workforce has different goals and objectives than previous generations and possesses a unique perspective that is unlike any other employee group. Nevertheless instead of incorporating a management style that is conducive to getting the best out of Millennials business leaders incorrectly attempt to manage this subset of the workforce the same way they manage employees from previous generations. This must change! Archaic methods of management do not deliver success with a new breed of employee. Instead the outdated model leaves Millennials uninspired and lacking the desire to produce results. To get the best out of Millennials it is imperative for leaders to modify their current management style. With over 55 million Millennials working in the United States the largest demographic in the workplace it is critical that they are managed effectively if companies are going to succeed. Managing Millennials: The Ultimate Handbook for Productivity Profitability and Professionalism delivers a profound understanding of what motivates Millennials generates increased awareness of the different ideologies and preferences each generation in the workplace values and most importantly provides specific actions you can use to understand and motivate Millennials and transform your organization. | Managing Millennials The Ultimate Handbook for Productivity Profitability and Professionalism

Regime Stability Social Insecurity and Bauxite Mining in Guinea Developments Since the Mid-Twentieth Century

Regime Stability Social Insecurity and Bauxite Mining in Guinea Developments Since the Mid-Twentieth Century

This book explores how bauxite mining has affected local and national political dynamics in Guinea over the past 55 years providing an overview of mining interactions with social economic and political spheres. Guinea is amongst the world’s top producers of bauxite and the country’s rich mineral presence has numerous implications on local communities and national policy. Guinea is an interesting and highly relevant case study in assessing the impact of bauxite mining on regime stability and social insecurity. The author offers a clear understanding of the role of mining during the Touré and Conté regimes and analyses how changes since the election of Condé in 2010 have affected the socio-political and economic development of Guinea. The author also offers analysis on how bauxite mining has led to the emergence of new forms of social contracts sustained by mining companies instead of the state. Finally the book argues that understanding the stabilising and destabilising potential of mining is key to ensuring long-term sustainable stable and inclusive growth of mineral-resource-rich countries. The book concludes by highlighting the relevance of the findings in Guinea for the wider African extractives sector. The book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars including those working in the areas of African studies political science political economy sustainable development and corporate social responsibility. The book will be relevant for academics business actors NGOs policy-makers and students interested in the African mining sector. | Regime Stability Social Insecurity and Bauxite Mining in Guinea Developments Since the Mid-Twentieth Century

The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering

The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering

Engineering has always been a part of human life but has only recently become the subject matter of systematic philosophical inquiry. The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering presents the state-of-the-art of this field and lays a foundation for shaping future conversations within it. With a broad scholarly scope and 55 chapters contributed by both established experts and fresh voices in the field the Handbook provides valuable insights into this dynamic and fast-growing field. The volume focuses on central issues and debates established themes and new developments in: Foundational perspectives Engineering reasoning Ontology Engineering design processes Engineering activities and methods Values in engineering Responsibilities in engineering practice Reimagining engineering The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy of Engineering will be of value for both students and active researchers in philosophy of engineering and in cognate fields (philosophy of technology philosophy of design). It is also intended for engineers working both inside and outside of academia who would like to gain a more fundamental understanding of their particular professional field. The increasing development of new technologies such as autonomous vehicles and new interdisciplinary fields such as human-computer interaction calls not only for philosophical inquiry but also for engineers and philosophers to work in collaboration with one another. At the same time the demands on engineers to respond to the challenges of world health climate change poverty and other so-called wicked problems have also been on the rise. These factors together with the fact that a host of questions concerning the processes by which technologies are developed have arisen make the current Handbook a timely and valuable publication.

Cyber Resilience

Cyber Resilience

Modern cyber systems acquire more emergent system properties as far as their complexity increases: cyber resilience controllability self-organization proactive cyber security and adaptability. Each of the listed properties is the subject of the cybernetics research and each subsequent feature makes sense only if there is a previous one. Cyber resilience is the most important feature of any cyber system especially during the transition to the sixth technological stage and related Industry 4. 0 technologies: Artificial Intelligence (AI) Cloud and foggy computing 5G + IoT/IIoT Big Data and ETL Q-computing Blockchain VR/AR etc. We should even consider the cyber resilience as a primary one because the mentioned systems cannot exist without it. Indeed without the sustainable formation made of the interconnected components of the critical information infrastructure it does not make sense to discuss the existence of 4. 0 Industry cyber-systems. In case when the cyber security of these systems is mainly focused on the assessment of the incidents' probability and prevention of possible security threats the cyber resilience is mainly aimed at preserving the targeted behavior and cyber systems' performance under the conditions of known (about 45 %) as well as unknown (the remaining 55 %) cyber attacks. This monograph shows that modern Industry 4. 0. Cyber systems do not have the required cyber resilience for targeted performance under heterogeneous mass intruder cyber-attacks. The main reasons include a high cyber system structural and functional complexity a potential danger of existing vulnerabilities and “sleep” hardware and software tabs as well as an inadequate efficiency of modern models methods and tools to ensure cyber security reliability response and recovery.
