Download or read book Keywords for Environmental Studies written by Joni Adamson and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduces key terms, quantitative and qualitative research, debates, and histories for Environmental and Nature Studies Understandings of “nature” have expanded and changed, but the word has not lost importance at any level of discourse: it continues to hold a key place in conversations surrounding thought, ethics, and aesthetics. Nowhere is this more evident than in the interdisciplinary field of environmental studies. Keywords for Environmental Studies analyzes the central terms and debates currently structuring the most exciting research in and across environmental studies, including the environmental humanities, environmental social sciences, sustainability sciences, and the sciences of nature. Sixty essays from humanists, social scientists, and scientists, each written about a single term, reveal the broad range of quantitative and qualitative approaches critical to the state of the field today. From “ecotourism” to “ecoterrorism,” from “genome” to “species,” this accessible volume illustrates the ways in which scholars are collaborating across disciplinary boundaries to reach shared understandings of key issues—such as extreme weather events or increasing global environmental inequities—in order to facilitate the pursuit of broad collective goals and actions. This book underscores the crucial realization that every discipline has a stake in the central environmental questions of our time, and that interdisciplinary conversations not only enhance, but are requisite to environmental studies today.

Download or read book Exploring the Impact of Study Environment Noise Levels on Academic Performance An Experimental Investigation in Bhopal INDIA written by KHRITISH SWARGIARY and published by GOOGLE. This book was released on 2024-06-01 with total page 17 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study investigated the influence of ambient noise levels on academic performance using a controlled experimental design. Participants, randomly assigned to high and low noise environments, were assessed to determine the impact on their academic performance. Results from a two-sample independent t-test indicated a significant difference in performance, with participants in high noise environments showing a mean score of 80.38 (SD = 5.49) compared to 85.93 (SD = 6.40) for those in low noise environments. The obtained t-value was -2.75 (p = 0.020), confirming a statistically significant effect of noise on academic performance. These findings suggest that noise pollution adversely affects students' learning outcomes, aligning with previous research. Recommendations include implementing noise control measures in educational settings to enhance learning environments. The study's limitations, such as small sample size and lack of demographic control, point to the need for further research with larger, more diverse samples and consideration of additional environmental factors.

Download or read book Study Week on a Modern Approach to the Protection of the Environment written by G. B. Marini-Bettòlo and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2017-01-31 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These Proceedings consider all aspects of the environmental problems facing the world today - scientific, social, economic, philosophical and historical. Many of the discussions which followed paper presentations are included in the text. Along with scientific discussions of solutions to particular problems, the book argues for a new approach to thought and action in the use of natural resources. If a constructive global strategy towards the protection of the environment is to be socially compatible and economically sound, then it must be developed through an interdisciplinary approach which will avoid the impractical solutions which might be suggested by theoretical or unilateral considerations. Ecological, economic, social and cultural research must be accompanied by the development of a new mentality of respect for the environment which will inculcate a reasonable and moderate use of natural resources.

Download or read book Smart Learning Environments written by Maiga Chang and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-09-05 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses main issues concerned with the future learning, learning and academic analytics, virtual world and smart user interface, and mobile learning. This book gathers the newest research results of smart learning environments from the aspects of learning, pedagogies, and technologies in learning. It examines the advances in technology development and changes in the field of education that has been affecting and reshaping the learning environment. Then, it proposes that under the changed technological situations, smart learning systems, no matter what platforms (i.e., personal computers, smart phones, and tablets) they are running at, should be aware of the preferences and needs that their users (i.e., the learners and teachers) have, be capable of providing their users with the most appropriate services, helps to enhance the users' learning experiences, and to make the learning efficient.
Download or read book U S Health in International Perspective written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2013-04-12 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is among the wealthiest nations in the world, but it is far from the healthiest. Although life expectancy and survival rates in the United States have improved dramatically over the past century, Americans live shorter lives and experience more injuries and illnesses than people in other high-income countries. The U.S. health disadvantage cannot be attributed solely to the adverse health status of racial or ethnic minorities or poor people: even highly advantaged Americans are in worse health than their counterparts in other, "peer" countries. In light of the new and growing evidence about the U.S. health disadvantage, the National Institutes of Health asked the National Research Council (NRC) and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) to convene a panel of experts to study the issue. The Panel on Understanding Cross-National Health Differences Among High-Income Countries examined whether the U.S. health disadvantage exists across the life span, considered potential explanations, and assessed the larger implications of the findings. U.S. Health in International Perspective presents detailed evidence on the issue, explores the possible explanations for the shorter and less healthy lives of Americans than those of people in comparable countries, and recommends actions by both government and nongovernment agencies and organizations to address the U.S. health disadvantage.

This book was released on 2017-08-05 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India is regarded as the most second largest tribal dominated country in the world. The tribal people are intrinsic part of the national life which has been instrumental in contributing to the complex amalgam of national culture by their rich cultural heritage. From thousands of years, they survived in a natural environment with simple lifestyle and developed their cultural pattern which is congenial to their consequent physical and social environment. Even the references of such tribal groups are found in the ancient literature of Ramayana and Mahabharata. At present, the tribal population of India falls into three main zones namely, North Eastern Zone, the Central Zone and the Southern Zone.
