Download or read book Huella de Carbono written by César Espíndola and published by Editorial Universidad de La Serena. This book was released on 2018 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La huella de carbono (HdC) es uno de los indicadores más exitosos orientados a cuantificar emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Se trata de un indicador, relativamente reciente, pero sobre el que existe una abundante literatura producida, mayoritariamente, en los últimos diez años. La existencia de diferentes definiciones, metodologías y enfoques hacen necesarios trabajos que analicen, expliquen y difundan un concepto simple y, al mismo tiempo, complejo. El libro que tiene en sus manos, escrito por los académicos e investigadores César A. Espíndola y José O. Valderrama responde a una necesidad no cubierta para una buena parte de la población del planeta, que todavía desconoce el indicador y sus características. Al mismo tiempo, busca promover la aplicación del indicador en un contexto, el Latinoamericano, donde su aplicación está en las fases iniciales. Todos podemos contribuir al diseño de estrategias orientadas a reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero que generamos. El éxito de estas estrategias depende, en parte, de la cuantificación veraz y precisa de los resultados de las medidas adoptadas. En este contexto, son necesarios indicadores precisos que contribuyan a esta labor. La contribución al cambio climático ha sido desigual y son los habitantes de los países más industrializados los que más han contribuido al aumento de la temperatura global. En todo caso, se trata de un fenómeno global porque nos afecta a todos y porque todos podemos aportar para limitar sus efectos.
Download or read book Evoluci n y Estado de la HUELLA DE CARBONO written by Antonio José Guerrero Lucendo and published by Universidad Miguel Hernández. This book was released on with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Las universidades, que pueden considerarse como pequeñas ciudades que contribuyen a la sostenibilidad a través de su educación, investigación, el funcionamiento de su propio patrimonio y su relación con la sociedad (Cortese, 2003; Gomera et al., 2021; Gu et al., 2019), desempeñan un importante papel en la sostenibilidad medioambiental a través de la lucha contra el cambio climático (E. C. Cordero et al., 2020). En este sentido, están empezando a abordar los problemas climáticos a través de políticas de reducción de carbono (Robinson et al., 2018). La huella de carbono puede ser un buen indicador de desempeño ambiental universitario si se evalúa e interpreta adecuadamente, por lo que suele ser el indicador clave de desempeño comúnmente utilizado para evaluar los impactos ambientales relacionados con el cambio climático (A. J. Guerrero-Lucendo, 2023; Lo-Iacono-Ferreira et al., 2018). Por ello, algunos autores consideran que la evaluación del cálculo de la huella de carbono en las universidades debería de ser uno de los pasos iniciales hacia la sostenibilidad ambiental del campus (Ridhosari & Rahman, 2020; Valls-Val & Bovea, 2021), y el informe de la huella de carbono el inicio de las prácticas educativas sostenibles (Kulkarni, 2019). Aunque no existen referencias relevantes que evidencien el uso de la huella de carbono como indicador de desempeño ambiental en las universidades (Lo-Iacono-Ferreira et al., 2018), la medición de la huella de carbono en estas organizaciones está ampliamente registrada. En la literatura podemos encontrar algunos estudios centrados en la comparación de las huellas de carbono de diferentes universidades, pero asociadas a regiones geográficas concretas (A. J. Guerrero-Lucendo, 2023; Valls-Val & Bovea, 2021), como Bailey & LaPoint (2016), que compararon las huellas de carbono de nueve universidades situadas en Texas (EE.UU.) o Robinson et al. (2015) con 20 universidades del Reino Unido. A nivel español, existen varias publicaciones de artículos sobre las huellas de carbono en los campus universitarios en los últimos años, como la Universidad Politécnica de Valencia (Lo-Iacono-Ferreira et al., 2018), la Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Montes de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (Alvarez et al., 2014), la Universidad de Castilla-La Mancha (Gomez et al., 2016), la Universidad del País Vasco (Rodríguez Andara et al., 2020), la Universidad Miguel Hernández de Elche (A. Guerrero-Lucendo et al., 2019) y la Universidad Jaime I (Valls-Val & Bovea, 2022). Como referencia en cuanto a revisión comparativa de las huellas de carbono de las universidades españolas se dispone de un mapeo general del desempeño ambiental en la mitigación del cambio climático de las universidades españolas a través de una herramienta estandarizada de cálculo de la huella de carbono (A. Guerrero-Lucendo et al., 2022). En este estudio, se obtuvieron 77 huellas de carbono para el periodo 2011-2020 de 14 universidades españolas a través del Registro Español de Huellas de Carbono. Los valores de las huellas se analizaron junto con diferentes variables y se recalcularon utilizando ratios de actividad estandarizados. Aunque se observó una disminución global de la huella de carbono total (72,7%), las emisiones directas de gases de efecto invernadero (Alcance 1) se mantenían estables, mientras que la disminución se debía a la reducción de las emisiones causadas por el consumo de electricidad (Alcance 2) a través de empresas proveedoras de electricidad, que garantizan que la energía suministrada se genera a partir de fuentes renovables o de cogeneración (A. Guerrero-Lucendo et al., 2022).
Download or read book Etiquetas de la Huella de Carbono written by Fernando Díaz Alonso and published by Eae Editorial Academia Espanola. This book was released on 2011-12-28 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Una etiqueta de la huella de carbono describe las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero generadas en las diferentes fases del ciclo de vida de los bienes de consumo (fabricacion, transporte, utilizacion, produccion de residuos, etc.). Su objetivo es ofrecer informacion al consumidor que le permita favorecer los productos mas respetuosos con el clima. Se trata de una iniciativa en una fase de desarrollo todavia incipiente y que aun debe hacer frente a muchas dificultades, sobre todo en lo que respecta a la armonizacion de los diferentes estandares que existen en el mercado (con el objeto de que el consumidor reciba informaciones fiables y comparables entre diferentes productos, que le permitan tomar decisiones que lo orienten hacia un consumo mas sostenible). Para ello, este trabajo presenta un estudio comparativo de diferentes estandares de calculo e incluye el analisis detallado de un caso particular, con el objetivo de proponer los aspectos que se deben armonizar en las etiquetas de la huella de carbono."

Download or read book How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease written by United States. Public Health Service. Office of the Surgeon General and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Download or read book Defending the Land of the Jaguar written by Lane Simonian and published by University of Texas Press. This book was released on 2010-07-05 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mexican conservationists have sometimes observed that it is difficult to find a country less interested in the conservation of its natural resources than is Mexico. Yet, despite a long history dedicated to the pursuit of development regardless of its environmental consequences, Mexico has an equally long, though much less developed and appreciated, tradition of environmental conservation. Lane Simonian here offers the first panoramic history of conservation in Mexico from pre-contact times to the current Mexican environmental movement. He explores the origins of conservation and environmental concerns in Mexico, the philosophies and endeavors of Mexican conservationists, and the enactment of important conservation laws and programs. This heretofore untold story, drawn from interviews with leading Mexican conservationists as well as archival research, will be important reading throughout the international community of activists, researchers, and concerned citizens interested in the intertwined issues of conservation and development.
Download or read book The Vicu a written by Iain Gordon and published by Springer. This book was released on 2008-10-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Things have changed. In 1969 when the Convention for the Conservation of the Vicuña was drafted, in an attempt to save the vicuña from its tumbling decline towards extinction, both the science and the philosophy of wildlife conservation were radically different. It is thus a tribute to the prescience of those involved at the time that the rescue plan had, even through the harsh lens of hindsight, a d- tinctly Twenty First Century flavour. After all, it was predicated on the expectation that if vicuña could be saved, they would one day become a valued asset, generating revenue for the human communities that fostered their survival. Embodied in this aspiration are the main structures of modern biodiversity conservation – not only is it to be underpinned by science, but that science should be of both the natural and the social genres, woven into inter-disciplinarity, and thereby taking heed of e- nomics, governance, ownership and the like, alongside biology. In addition, it should include, as a major strut, the human dimension, taking account of the affected constituencies with their varied stakes in alternative outcomes. This c- temporary framework for thinking about biodiversity conservation is inseparable from such wider, and inherently political, notions as community-based conser- tion and ultimately sustainable use.
Download or read book Wine and Tourism written by Marta Peris-Ortiz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-12-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to show how wine tourism can be used as a model for sustainable economic development, driving economic growth and social development in some locations. It will explore the interaction between tourism and viticulture in wine tourism destinations, while also explaining some of the repercussions of these activities. This book covers various topics including regional development, environmental management, sustainable viticulture, quality management in wineries and wine tourism routes among others. Wine tourism, which combines two important yet distinct economic activities (i.e., tourism and viticulture), has recently emerged as a new tourism product driven by tourists’ search for new experiences and wineries’ need to diversify their businesses and seek new revenue streams to boost sales. This new form of tourism, which typically takes place in rural areas and which combines wine production with tourist activities, is becoming important for such regions by providing a complementary income source. It provides a model for sustainable economic development for these regions, which for various reasons may otherwise struggle to develop. Featuring cases and business implications from various locations, this book provides an important source of knowledge—both theoretical and practical—suitable to academics, scholars, researchers, and practitioners in the tourism sector and the wine industry.
Download or read book Mechanisms of Adaptation written by J.R. Spkatch and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-04-24 with total page 615 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bacteria: Volume VII: Mechanisms of Adaptation explores the mechanisms of bacterial adaptations and covers topics ranging from bacterial spores, cysts, and stalks to nitrogen fixation, bacterial chemotaxis, bacteriophage growth, and the structure and biosynthesis of bacterial cell walls. The roles of appendages and surface layers in adaptation of bacteria to their environment are also considered, along with cell division in Escherichia coli. This volume is comprised of nine chapters and begins with a discussion on the structure, properties, formation, and regulation of spores, cysts, and stalks in actinomycetes, blue-green bacteria, myxobacteria, Bacillus, Azotobacter, and Caulobacter. The reader is then introduced to the biochemistry, regulation, genetics, and evolution of nitrogen fixing in organisms; the receptors involved in bacterial chemotaxis and the nature of the sensing mechanism; the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria; and bacterial functions involved in nutrient detection and acquisition. The roles played by organelles and surface layers in the adaptation of bacteria to their environment are also examined. The final chapter deals with the regulation of, and coordination between, the multitude of events involved in cell division in Escherichia coli. This monograph will be a useful resource for microbiologists, bacteriologists, biochemists, and biologists.

Download or read book Stop Thief written by Peter Linebaugh and published by PM Press. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this majestic tour de force, celebrated historian Peter Linebaugh takes aim at the thieves of land, the polluters of the seas, the ravagers of the forests, the despoilers of rivers, and the removers of mountaintops. Scarcely a society has existed on the face of the earth that has not had commoning at its heart. “Neither the state nor the market,” say the planetary commoners. These essays kindle the embers of memory to ignite our future commons. From Thomas Paine to the Luddites, from Karl Marx—who concluded his great study of capitalism with the enclosure of commons—to the practical dreamer William Morris—who made communism into a verb and advocated communizing industry and agriculture—to the 20th-century communist historian E.P. Thompson, Linebaugh brings to life the vital commonist tradition. He traces the red thread from the great revolt of commoners in 1381 to the enclosures of Ireland, and the American commons, where European immigrants who had been expelled from their commons met the immense commons of the native peoples and the underground African-American urban commons. Illuminating these struggles in this indispensable collection, Linebaugh reignites the ancient cry, “STOP, THIEF!”
