Download or read book Sostenibilidad del desarrollo y formaci n de ingenieros written by Francisco Octavio Machín Armas and published by Editorial Universitaria (Cuba). This book was released on 2020-08-13 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En el libro, se hace un estudio amplio de los aspectos psicológicos y educativos del ser humano que influyen en la educación energético-ambiental y por tanto en la formación para la sostenibilidad del desarrollo. Se destacan además los componentes económico y social del desarrollo sostenible, los cuales son estudiados y ejemplificados. Los autores, en el marco de la concepción de sostenibilidad del desarrollo, destacan el componente energético de la misma, pues la energía es el fundamento del proceso evolutivo en cualquier dimensión (natural, social o económica), por lo que se hace hincapié en la caracterización a través de indicadores de un tipo de sostenibilidad, la energética. No se pasa por alto en el libro el papel de la educación energético-ambiental para la formación del ingeniero hacia la sostenibilidad del desarrollo, pues la racionalidad energética y la preservación ambiental están en el centro de toda la problemática relativa al desarrollo sostenible. Tampoco se olvida la función del Derecho Ambiental Cubano en la educación ambiental, por lo que se dedica un capítulo completo a cada uno de ellos. El análisis del contenido jurídico presente en la labor profesional de las diferentes carreras de Ingeniería, en las cuales sus diferentes esferas de actuación profesional tienen de manera explícita o implícita incorporado el medio ambiente como concepto, está presente en el correspondiente capítulo del libro. Se parte de la idea de que el conocimiento de los principios básicos de la legislación ambiental cubana es una necesidad para la formación profesional del presente y futuro ingeniero cubano.

Download or read book New Trends in Disruptive Technologies Tech Ethics and Artificial Intelligence written by Juan F. de Paz Santana and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-10-29 with total page 406 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book includes recent research on disruptive technologies, tech ethics, and artificial intelligence. Due to the important advances in technologies such as artificial intelligence, big data, the Internet of Things or bioinformatics produced in recent years, it is necessary to conduct a thorough review of current ethical patterns. One of the research fields that is in full expansion and with a broad future is technology ethics or tech ethics. Just a few years ago, this type of research was a small part, and they did not have too many technology researchers involved. At present, due to the explosion of new applications of artificial intelligence, their problems and their legal barriers have flourished innumerable initiatives, declarations, principles, guides and analyses focused on measuring the social impact of these systems and on the development of a more ethical technology. It is, therefore, a problem that needs to be addressed from an academic and multidisciplinary point of view, where experts in ethics and behavior work together with experts in new and disruptive technologies. The international conference “Disruptive Technologies Tech Ethics and Artificial Intelligence” (DITTET 2021) provides a forum to present and discuss the latest scientific and technical advances and their implications in the field of ethics. It also provides a forum for experts to present their latest research in disruptive technologies, promoting knowledge transfer. It provides a unique opportunity to bring together experts in different fields, academics and professionals to exchange their experience in the development and deployment of disruptive technologies, artificial intelligence and their ethical problems. DiTTEt intends to bring together researchers and developers from industry, humanities and academia to report on the latest scientific advances and the application of artificial intelligence as well as its ethical implications in fields as diverse as climate change, politics, economy or security in today’s world. This book constitutes the refereed proceedings selected by an expert panel through a peer-review process. All these works will be presented by the experts in the different sessions organized at the DITTET congress to be held at the Pontifical University of Salamanca (Salamanca, Spain) on September 15, 26 and 17, 2021.
Download or read book Desarrollo sostenible para ingenieros written by Karel Mulder and published by Univ. Politèc. de Catalunya. This book was released on 2010-09 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este libro ha sido desarrollado por un grupo de docentes comprometidos, pertenecientes a distintos departamentos académicos europeos de ingeniería, bajo la dirección de la Universidad Tecnológica de Delft y la UPC, con el propósito de reducir la distancia entre lo que los ingenieros saben y lo que deberían saber en relación con el desarrollo sostenible. Ya en 1998, la Universidad Tecnológica de Delft decidió que sus graduados tenían que estar preparados para el desafío del desarrollo sostenible, para poder desarrollar sus carreras de diseño, gestión o investigación. En este sentido, al salir de la universidad tenían que ser capaces de incorporar el concepto de desarrollo sostenible en sus diseños y prácticas cotidianas. Este libro refleja la cantidad enorme de conocimientos reunidos a través de la enseñanza de las mejores prácticas para ingenieros. Tiene por objeto ofrecer a los estudiantes de ingeniería los fundamentos necesarios para afrontar el desafío que el desarrollo sostenible plantea para la profesión; comprender la aportación de los ingenieros al logro de los objetivos corporativos y ambientales de la sostenibilidad, y conocer las barreras y las dificultades que hallarán en su desempeño profesional. Esta obra, a un tiempo concisa y completa, analiza las herramientas, las habilidades y las técnicas principales que se pueden utilizar en el diseño y la gestión de la ingeniería para prever los costes y los impactos de los esquemas de ingeniería en las etapas de planeamiento, implementación y descarte.

This book was released on 2001 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American Mosaic has four overarching features. First, it is, to the extent feasible, based on comparable information on the status and trends of major indicators of the state of the environment in Canada,Mexico, and the United States. Second, the report confirms that these three countries together make up an incredibly complex, dynamic, and interconnected ecosystem in which humans play a dominant and decisive role. Third, the report raises important and sometimes disquieting questions concerning the sustainability of some current trends. Finally, the report is a reminder that our economic, social, and physical well-being are utterly dependent on the life-sustaining services provided by nature. This report emphasizes the importance of developing mutually compatible economic, social, and environmental goals and policies across the three-country region.

Download or read book Wastewater Treatment in Constructed Wetlands with Horizontal Sub Surface Flow written by Jan Vymazal and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2008-07-15 with total page 579 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wetlands have been used for uncontrolled wastewater disposal for centuries. However, the change in attitude towards wetlands during the 1950s and 1960s caused the minimization of the use of natural wetlands for wastewater treatment (at least in developed countries). Constructed wetlands have been used for wastewater treatment for about forty years. Constructed wetland treatment systems are engineered systems that have been designed and constructed to utilize the natural processes for removal of pollutants. They are designed to take advantage of many of the same processes that occur in natural wetlands, but do so within a more controlled environment. The aim of this book is to summarize the knowledge on horizontal s- surface flow constructed wetlands (HF CWs) and objectively evaluate their treatment efficiency under various conditions. The information on this type of wastewater treatment technology is scattered in many publications but a comprehensive summary based on world-wide experience has been lacking. The book provides an extensive overview of this treatment technology around the world, including examples from more than 50 countries and examples of various types of wastewater treated in HF CWs.
