Abstract:There is a growing trend to understand economic and environmental policies in terms of multiple dimensions and "interdependence." Bhutan is increasingly seen as an operational model with its Gross National Happiness (GNH) strategy. GNH, which is rooted in Mahayana Buddhism, is a framework and set of policy tools that conceptualizes sustainability as interdependent ecological, economic, social, cultural and good governance concerns. Bhutan's practical GNH experience illustrates a significant ability to positively couple economic growth with a healthy environment. Can the "West"-with its legacy of either/or economics-learn anything from Bhutan's multidimensional policy experiment? At first, it would seem not. It is questionable whether the West can replicate Bhutan's unorthodox policy tools as we do not have a balancing set of Buddhist values rooted in mainstream culture. We are not equipped to respond to the many unintended consequences of interdependent policy because we do not yet understand what "interdependence" actually entails. There is hope, but much of it exists in the grey literature of ecological economics. This literature is in urgent need of greater exposure if we are to imagine and enact sustainability policy tools that are truly sensitive to interdependence, and thus follow Bhutan on its perilous but necessary journey.
The cover features a young co-ed in a revealing negligee. She's screaming. Behind her, Ninja-like intruders in black costumes creep forward. They've got hooks that will clamp around the young co-ed, and a drill that will bore into her neck to stop the screaming for good.It sounds like a bad B-movie. It's actually the Sega video game Night Trap.
Hoy en día la contaminación del medio ambiente se considera un asunto de interés prioritario por parte de las autoridades ambientales, uno de los recursos naturales que ha sufrido mayor impacto debido a las actividades de extracción y procesamiento de hidrocarburos es el suelo. Cuando un suelo ha sido afectado se requiere una propuesta de remediación, una de las alternativas para el tratamiento de suelos contaminados con hidrocarburos es la estabilización química con cal o polímero, en este trabajo se expone la aplicación de trabajos de estabilización química efectuados en suelos contaminados por hidrocarburos. Actualmente en el Laboratorio de Remedición de Suelos de la DACBiol se trabaja con la aplicación de la poliacrilamida (PAM) para el tratamiento de suelos contaminados por hidrocarburos, se ha observado que con la aplicación de este producto se logra reducir de manera significativa la concentración de HTP lixiviables.
Las lagunas de estabilización son reactores bioquímicos complejos y representan una de las alternativas más viables para el tratamiento de aguas residuales en los campus universitarios ya que requieren bajo costo de operación, poco mantenimiento y pueden usarse como biomaterial didáctico. Se determinó la calidad del tratamiento de 106.020 m3/día de aguas residuales, durante octubre-noviembre 2019, a tres horas y profundidades diferentes, en el sistema de estabilización de la División Académica de Ciencias Biológicas, a través del monitoreo in situ de la temperatura y pH.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
