They worry that when the rains fall, they will wash the ash left by the fires into the rivers and pollute Australia’s water supply, a situation that would leave thousands of Australians without drinking water. This looming water crisis in Australia has also called attention to Taiwan’s own dangers of water shortage. Although Taiwan has an average rainfall of 2,500 millimeters per year, its lack of storage capacity means that much of that rainfall flows into the ocean. In fact, the nation’s reservoirs can only store about six weeks’ worth of water before running completely dry. As a result, Taiwan faced water shortages nine times between 2002 and 2015. An additional element that perpetuates this problem is the low cost of water in Taiwan—one of the lowest in the world. Inexpensive water bills mean people hardly think about saving water. And although a rise in water prices could reduce Taiwan’s water usage significantly, no politician is brave enough to suggest that solution. To reduce the risk of a severe water crisis in the future, it’s therefore up to us to cut back on the amount of water we use. 去年和今年在澳洲延燒的大火讓科學家憂心忡忡。他們擔心下雨時，雨水會把火災留下的灰燼沖刷到河裡、汙染澳洲的水源，此情況會讓數以萬計的澳洲人沒有飲用水喝。 澳洲迫在眉睫的水資源危機也讓人注意到台灣自身缺水的危險。雖然台灣每年有兩千五百毫米的年均降雨量，但缺乏蓄水容積就表示大多數的降雨都流入海洋。事實上，全國的水庫在完全乾涸前只夠儲存六個星期的用水。因此，台灣在二○○二年和二○一五年期間就面臨了九次缺水。 另一個使這個問題持續的要素是台灣的水費低廉——是世界上數一數二低廉的。便宜的水費意味著人們幾乎不會想到要節約用水。而且即使水費調漲可以大幅降低台灣的用水，但沒有一位政治人物敢建議這個解決方法。為了降低未來嚴峻的水資源危機的風險，因此就需要靠我們來減少我們的用水量。 6/19 To figure out what actions are needed to conserve water, it helps to know where water is being wasted. In an average household, flushing the toilet and showering account for an overwhelming percentage of all water used. It stands to reason, then, that the most significant change you can make is to your bathroom habits. Everyone loves a long hot shower, but do try to limit your shower time to around five minutes. To help you stick to this rule, find a five-minute-long song that you can play while showering, and make sure you’re finished when it ends! Limiting your shower time is pointless if you’re allowing the shower water to drain away while it warms up. To solve this, collect that initial stream of cold water in a container. You can then use that water to flush your toilet. Besides trying to minimize the number of times you flush, check your toilet for leaks. After all, leakages are the biggest waste of water. You may think these small actions won’t make much of a difference, but there are over 23 million people in Taiwan. If everyone takes steps to waste less water, the nation’s water security is all but assured. 想瞭解節約用水需要什麼樣的行動，知道水在哪裡被浪費會有幫助。在一般家庭中，沖馬桶和淋浴占所有用水中很大的百分比。那麼顯而易見地，你所能做的最大改變就是你的衛浴習慣。 每個人都喜歡好好洗個熱水澡，但試著將你的淋浴時間限制在五分鐘左右。為了幫助你遵守這項原則，找一首可以在淋浴時播放的五分鐘長的歌曲，並確保歌播完時你澡也洗好了！ 假如你讓淋浴的水在加熱時流掉，那麼限制淋浴時間就毫無意義了。為了解決這個問題，將開始的冷水收集在一個容器中。之後你可以用那些水來沖馬桶。除了試著將沖水的次數減到最少，也檢查馬桶有沒有漏水。畢竟滲漏是最浪費水的。 你或許認為這些小小的行動不會有很大的不同，但台灣有超過兩千三百萬人。如果每個人都採取行動少浪費水，國家的水資源安全就幾乎獲得保證。 News Report 看新聞學英語 Huge Locust Outbreak Hits East Africa, Heads Beyond 蝗災肆虐東非威脅南亞 People 人物側寫 Florence Pugh: Hollywood’s Confident Newcomer 佛蘿倫絲．普伊：好萊塢的耀眼新星 History 歷史探究 Denim Jeans: From Worker Safety to Fashion Staple 牛仔褲：從工作褲到時尚單品 CNN News Who Are BTS? 韓國人氣男團——BTS防彈少年團 Dialogue Focus 情境對話 Different Jobs 圖解不同職業 Becoming a Professional Gamer 成為職業玩家 Internet 網路安全 How to Protect Your Smart Home from Hackers 網路安全：如何避免駭客入侵 Travel 繞著地球玩 Camino de Santiago—The Walk of a Lifetime 西班牙朝聖之路——千載難逢的健行體驗 Writing 寫作練習 Translation Practice 翻譯寫作 Reading Skill 閱讀策略 The Black Poodle 〈黑色貴賓犬〉 Environment 環境保育 Waste Not, Want Not 節約用水從自己做起 Plus Talk 會話百分百 Expressing Opinions 表達意見 1.

Download or read book Fulfilling the Pledge written by Roger C. Hartley and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2024-02-13 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An insightful and evidence-based assessment of our urgent need to enact labor law reform—and how to achieve it. Millions of non-union workers want unionization, but our current labor-management relations law conspires to deny them meaningful opportunities to secure collective workplace representation. The resulting low rates of collective bargaining impose economic, political, and social costs on us all. In Fulfilling the Pledge, Roger Hartley addresses the plight of American workers, who face a grim, uncertain future, as the digital workplace reshapes the hierarchical post–World War II industrial relations system that once gave workers a voice. Through empirical evidence and the lens of law and policy, Hartley examines what industrial sociologists call the chronic “representation gap” and clarifies how a wide-ranging movement could build a vocal constituency for the congressional enactment of labor law reform. The pledge made in the 1935 National Labor Relations Act to encourage establishment of industrial democracy—where workers possess a voice in their places of work—remains unfulfilled. Speaking to policymakers, scholars, historians, and the average citizen, Fulfilling the Pledge makes a compelling case for collective workplace representation that serves the greater good, even as American labor relations law continues to undermine collective bargaining by workers and becomes an increasingly significant political and social issue.

Download or read book Planetary Health Humanities and Pandemics written by Heike Härting and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-03-29 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume explores the variable meanings and discourses of historical and contemporary pandemics to rethink theories and practices of planetary health. Rather than conflating the planetary with anthropogenic climate change, planetary geo-engineering, or the "global," the volume elaborates a version of planetary health humanities that invites decolonial, creative, and pluridisciplinary modes of thinking and sees "health" as a complex non-anthropocentric process that moves within the multiple scales of the planetary. The volume offers new historical trajectories as it considers an eighteenth-century woman author’s readings of plague, intersecting narratives of nineteenth-century lactation and vaccination, and the forgotten biopolitics of NASA’s Planetary Quarantine Program. It offers accounts of decolonial and oracular planetary health, insists that the role of literature in the health humanities is not merely instrumental, explores viral and planetary co-inhabitations, and scrutinizes inequities faced by global health workers. The volume also includes discussions of cybernetic addiction and the complex entanglements of humans, microbes, and bees. Its concluding interview addresses the concrete impact of current planetary transformations on individual and collective health. Bringing together multiple disciplines, the volume will be of interest to students and scholars in health humanities, literary studies, postcolonial studies, medical history, and narrative medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fourth edition of Dr. James Rippe’s classic Lifestyle Medicine textbook continues to lead and inform the rapidly growing field of lifestyle medicine. This is the discipline that focuses on the impact of daily habits and actions on both short- and long-term health and quality of life. The first edition of this comprehensive work named the field of lifestyle medicine in the academic medical literature. The fourth edition continues to span and expand the field and offers extensive evidence-based literature in virtually every aspect of lifestyle medicine. This Textbook, edited by cardiologist Dr. James Rippe, who is a leading lifestyle medicine researcher, represents the combined wisdom and recommendations of over 325 experts in virtually every aspect of lifestyle medicine. Chapter authors have been chosen because of their background as leaders in various aspects of lifestyle medicine. Lifestyle Medicine, Fourth Edition contains extensive sections on the treatment and prevention of coronary heart disease,stroke, cancer, diabetes, obesity, substance abuse, dementia, and many other clinical conditions. Key lifestyle modalities such as physical activity, nutrition, weight management, sleep, stress reduction, and positive connections with other humans are supported by detailed discussion and state-of-the-art evidence. The expanded section on behavioral medicine provides an important framework for these discussions. Every chapter has been completely revised and many new topics added, such as lifestyle medicine for nursing, psychiatry, and preventive neurology. The fourth edition of this classic text continues to serve as the leading, comprehensive textbook in lifestyle medicine. The original has been called the “indispensable bible” of lifestyle medicine, and the fourth edition of this work continues to justify this designation. There is no longer any serious doubt that daily habits and actions have a significant impact on multiple aspects of health. The fourth edition of Lifestyle Medicine provides the scientific evidence to support this assertion and will serve as an invaluable reference and guide, not only to lifestyle medicine practitioners but to all primary care physicians, subspecialty physicians, nurses, and other healthcare practitioners.

Download or read book Rule of Law written by Barbara Faedda and published by Ronzani Editore. This book was released on 2021-08-25 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edited by Barbara Faedda Based on a division of powers and the supremacy of a constitution, the rule of law is not invulnerable, as was demonstrated in the violent attack against the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021. It can be used but also abused; it can be respected or exploited, exalted or undermined. It can even arouse skepticism, because it is not always effective against the realities of political life. In a world facing social division, polarization, poverty, climate change, and pandemics, it is crucial to understand the roles of those who manage, control, or are touched by the rule of law. This book’s primary goal is to showcase the variety of perspectives, cases, and methodologies of the people and institutions that bring a range of expertise to bear in many fields. The essays here – which encompass various geographic areas and social groups, as well as several historical periods – address racism, misinformation, human rights, the status of women, the treatment of indigenous peoples, the environment, and more. The rule of law is not merely a set of principles that guarantee a just society. It must be more than a tool in the hands of legal experts; it cannot be a concept out of the reach of ordinary people. It is essential that every citizen feel a clear responsibility to protect and promote the rule of law, to denounce inequalities and oppose imbalances of power, if the common goal is to enjoy freedom, democracy, and justice for all. Barbara Faedda is the executive director of the Italian Academy for Advanced Studies at Columbia University and adjunct associate professor in Columbia’s Department of Italian, where she teaches courses on contemporary Italy. Among her publications are the books Elite. Cultura italiana e statunitense tra Settecento e Novecento (Ronzani, 2020); From Da Ponte to the Casa Italiana: A Brief History of Italian Studies at Columbia (Columbia University Press, 2017); Present and Future Memory: Holocaust Studies at the Italian Academy, editor (Italian Academy Publications, 2016); and essays including “An Italian Perspective on the U.S.-Italy Relationship” (The White House Historical Association, 2016); “Neurolaw: come le neuroscienze potrebbero cambiare l’antropologia giuridica”; and “We are not racists, but we do not want immigrants.” In 2016 Dr. Faedda conceived the International Observatory for Cultural Heritage (IOCH), dedicated to all issues relating to the survival, protection, and conservation of cultural heritage. In 2019 she was appointed ambassador, permanent observer for the European Public Law Organization to the United Nations.

Download or read book Digitalisation for Sustainable Infrastructure The Road Ahead written by Carlo Secchi and published by Ledizioni. This book was released on 2022-11-24 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's tumultuous and fast-changing times, digitalisation and technology are game changers in a wide range of sectors and have a tremendous impact on infrastructure. Roads, railways, electricity grids, aviation, and maritime transport are deeply affected by the digital and technological transition, with gains in terms of competitiveness, cost-reduction, and safety. Digitalisation is also a key tool for fostering global commitment towards sustainability, but the race for digital infrastructure is also a geopolitical one. As the world's largest economies are starting to adopt competitive strategies, a level playing field appears far from being agreed upon. Why are digitalisation and technology the core domains of global geopolitical competition? How are they changing the way infrastructure is built, operated, and maintained? To what extent will road, rail, air, and maritime transport change by virtue of digitalisation, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things? How to enhance cyber protection for critical infrastructure? What are the EU's, US' and China's digital strategies?
