Uncontrolled dust affects worker health, visibility, equipment lifespan, and compliance with environmental norms. Thankfully, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach; industries today have access to a range of technologies specifically for different operational needs. ...
In an industry that is continuously evolving due to fluctuating prices, digitalisation processes, as well as shifting regulations and normatives, challenges and opportunities are emerging rapidly. ...
On the other hand, in relation to the knowledge of normative conditions, regulations, quality requirements, social developments - and last but not least the needs of the users. ...
Solar MEMS has established itself as one of the main suppliers for solar sensors in the global aerospace market. This success has been founded on technology that has constantly advanced, and a development team that is fully dedicated to meeting the challenges that are set for it. Today we are focusing on Production Manager Isaac Fernández, a man who thrives on the day-to-day challenges of ...
The complexity of RMID spans the spectrum from analytical techniques and instruments to the testing process, then to the governmental norms and standards that regulate all aspects of RMID including system suitability, extent of sampling, method validation, electronic records, and many ...

It corresponds to measurement values that meet regulatory and normative obligations both at the French and European levels, but we also make forecasts on pollutants that will be regulated in the coming years or on new issues. ...

When it comes to land transport, the quarantine and social distancing regulations also need to be considered for overall delays, supply shortage, and increased prices. 3. ...
Peatlands fall under the auspices of different departments with uncoordinated norms and regulations. The use and conservation of peatlands are regulated by a number of contradicting environmental legislative acts. Environmental legislation does not regulate peatlands conservation adequately. A methodical and ...
Results show that different (f)actors and trends had a role in the change of routines, perceptions, expectations, technologies and norms. Drivers of change in residential water consumption were for instance technological developments, the changing perception of comfort and external pressures, such as the oil crisis in the 1970s, and energy labelling of appliances and buildings. ...
In a general sense, it includes the beliefs, motivations, attitudes, values, and perceptions of employees within an organization. It also includes behavioral norms and regulations, which are patterns of behavior in the workplace and limits that the organization places on itself in group settings. ...
Furthermore, the study shows that the strategies of social responsibility and environmental management encompass: peer pressure; the importance of government regulations, the adequacy of normative standards; heightened competition; and the achievement of competitive advantage.Keywords: social responsibility, environmental perspective, Brazilian metal mechanic, ...
Owing to the increased awareness of environmental issues along with tighter regulatory norms, there is greater emphasis among manufacturers to lower the environmental impacts of their products and solutions. Many organisations are seeking to adapt the life cycle assessment (LCA) method to estimate impact during the design stage and guide the development of sustainable products. In this research, ...
Nine core issues are reported, namely: local environment, climate change, peak oil, the state of the economy, social norms, demographics, disruptive events, national (or international) regulations and capacity. A matrix of interactions and their impacts and implications for managing the aviation system is then presented.Keywords: aviation issues, air transport, ...
Either way, Latin American regulators are looking closer into product energy performance with a goal to improve national energy consumption and mitigate climate change impacts. ...
WRI recently published “Ready or Not”, a report on the roles of national institutions in adapting to climate change, based on WRI’s National Adaptive Capacity (NAC) framework. On February 21, WRI Vulnerability and Adaptation Initiative Co-directors Heather McGray and Johan Schaar led a workshop introducing the NAC framework to 17 staff and fellows of the African Climate Policy ...
It is believed that the enhanced technology being employed in today’s oil and gas industry is, in part, responsible in the rise of NORMs contamination. When identifying NORM contamination, any consistent reading at or over double background is considered a NORM contaminate. Once at the surface, NORM contaminants present ...
The research challenges two assumptions: that local regulations can easily incorporate scientific research, which in turn leads to sound on-the-ground management; that sound on-the-ground management translates into effective enforcement at the local level. The authors suggest that non-compliance is a function of several intervening factors previously identified in the literature ...
Energy use is characterised by the commons situation with respect to exhaustion of finite resources, the depletion rate decision for renewable resources, and the generation of pollution. Each of these can be collectively managed by norms or by institutional rules ('common property'), or users can remain uncoordinated ('open access'). This article analyses the former concept, common property, in a ...
The Sirmour district, Himachal Pradesh, India, lies in the western Himalayan range. Mixed-farming is the main occupation in the mid-hills and basically consists of agriculture, livestock and forest produces. Hence, communal forests (mushtarka), common grazing lands (ghasnies) and gravity-flow irrigation systems (kuhl) were found to be the three major common pool resources in the villages of ...
The LQI by Nathwani et al. (1997) is a social indicator that kept constant allocates a part of a country's GDP to life saving initiatives. Is the LQI built on empirical evidence of a social behaviour that implies a desired balance between free time and work time? It is shown herein that a time balancing principle leads to an explicit mathematical formula connecting work time and value ...
