dc.description.abstract | We know that increasing prices of oil, gas and electricity are clearly a great challenge for local industries. On the other hand, in response to climate changes, international legislation has been emphasizing the use of renewable energy resources in Europe. Incentive-based policies, including carbon and fuel taxes will increase the cost of non-renewable fuels, decreasing fossil fuels consumption. Putting a price on green- house-effect gases is a reality nowadays, although the European emissions trading system is still relatively recent. At the same time energy efficiency is expected to increase 20% by 2020. Wood resources may then strongly contribute to that goal. In order to achieve it, it is necessary to concentrate the existing expertise and to guarantee the commitment of stakeholders. Energy production requires raw materials to be readily available. Usually, experienced managers are involved in the procurement of fuels. To fulfill the customer’s orders, to minimize the production cost and to achieve an efficient delivery sequence are not easy tasks, since it is often necessary to balance the three goals. At the same time, the use of local wood energy resources can help to achieve rural communities development, reducing transport costs and allowing affordable energy to be used and new local tailored markets to be created. In this paper several aspects involving the forest industry are discussed; procurement issues, sustainable development and environmental impacts, are all part of the same aim. | pt_PT

La Universidad se encuentra en pleno progreso desde su tiempo cero; de hecho, halla su carta de naturaleza en la necesidad de mejorar el medio que la nutre y por y para el que existe: la sociedad.
Rompiendo las viejas membranas de la enseñanza imperante hasta el siglo XX, las nuevas (r)evoluciones de contenidos y fórmulas, como lo fuera el EEES (o Plan Bolonia) o las TIC, suponen la respuesta a esas actualizadas necesidades docentes y curriculares. Las Humanidades, las Artes, las Ciencias sociales y la Docencia se reescriben, hibridando, gracias a los nuevos lenguajes y herramientas, contenidos otrora lejanos. La nueva Academia es poliédrica, ínter y multi disciplinar, dialógica y colaborativa. En este estado de cosas la colección Herramientas universitarias se erige como atalaya para agrupar bajo su égida al más amplio conjunto de autores internacionales que iluminen, con sus investigaciones, la panoplia de contenidos que conforman el mundo científico donde nace el futuro.
La calidad intelectual queda refrendada mediante la rigurosa implantación del habitual proceso garante, basado en la revisión o arbitraje por pares ciegos ( peer review) de estos capítulos, sin renunciar a la más antigua tradición universitaria que obliga al opositor de lo publicado, a soportar el peso de la prueba. Este doble modelo de evaluación, a priori y a posteriori, garantiza la calidad del contenido de los textos de esta colección. Pertenecer a la Academia, y en ello radica orgullosamente su valía, supone que todos sus miembros responden a una ambición irrenunciable: mostrar que el conjunto de sus trabajos conforma la vanguardia científica internacional.
El texto que aquí se presenta está auspiciado por el Fórum Internacional de Comunicación y Relaciones Públicas (Fórum XXI), la Sociedad Española de Estudios de la Comunicación Iberoamericana (SEECI), la Asociación cultural Historia de los Sistemas Informativos y el Grupo Complutense (nº 931.791) de Investigación en Comunicación Concilium.

La universidad avanza hacia el futuro gracias a textos como los presentes, pues estos representan lo último en los avances en innovación e investigación en el campo de las Ciencias Sociales, las Artes y Humanidades así como el de los diversos adelantos en la docencia, en especial la universitaria.Este estado de cosas nos lleva a reformular planteamientos, proponer soluciones y a diagnosticar posibilidades en los sistemas de comunicación que vehiculan los nuevos contenidos: neuromárketing, grandes datos, competencias digitales, aplicaciones, TIC, telefonía móvil, docencia participativa... Es decir, nunca se ha podido aplicar de forma más adecuada a una época el adjetivo de "cambiante" como a estos albores del siglo XXI. La necesaria reflexión, basada en análisis rigurosos académico-científicos, supone la mayor aportación de textos como los de la colección "Biblioteca Formación e Investigación". Desde la Academia tenemos la obligación de aportar solidez en el pensamiento crítico con estos avances en formas y fondos, en contenidos y continentes, en historias y discursos, puesto que la vida misma es comunicación y comunicar, es vivir. La presente colección de textos nace con la visión de erigirse como el eco que mantenga el perpetuum mobile de la cultura, verdadero alma mater (madre nutricia) de la sociedad, pues no en vano a la universidad así se la ha tildado desde hace siglos... y es verdad.

Abstract

The area of medical urgency and emergency is an important component of health care. Oil and Gas companies exist in a variety of locations in Brazil. The quality of medical infrastructure and specialties differs, and it is important to ensure optimal workers medical care. This paper describes the development of an objective tool for classifying levels of medical emergency response services in the oil industry, Bahia, Brazil, based on the steps that make up a complete cycle of medical emergency care: emergency detection, specifically requested resources, first aid on site, specialized care, and assisted removal to definitive treatment unit. A committee of 12 recognized occupational health and medical emergency experts with at least five years' experience participated in content validation through the Delphi Technique. The indicator was subdivided into 4 indices based on the risk profiles observed from the internal risk analysis documents. Medical Emergency Resource Classification Instrument ( MERCI) aimed to reduce the subjectivities of the assessment and allocation of resources in medical emergencies, considering the characteristics of oil and gas companies regarding the assessment of risk scenarios, location and exposed population. The proposed methodology can lead top management to routinely adopt MERCI, ensuring the maintenance of medical emergency response resources, with a level of service appropriate to the needs of industry and workers.

Abstract

The goal of this study was to identify connections between bioethical principles, the goals set by the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the foundations for health promotion (HP), particularly when applied to university professors. In its Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 3-"to ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages"-the 2030 Agenda allows for a reflection on the connections between bioethics and HP. Bioethics and HP both value the interactions between and focus on individuals and, in this approach, the drawing of connections between these topics and the 2030 Agenda presents itself represents a way to stimulate and develop useful measures involving health, well-being, quality of life, and happiness. The results suggest that concepts such as respect for personal dignity, care, protection, sustainable actions, prosperity, peace, partnership, and solidarity were reported by professors surveyed on these topics, with impact on seeking health-related measures able to promote individual and collective well-being, quality of life, inclusion and social justice, principle which are related to bioethics and HP, and the foundations of which are clearly correlated with the 2030 Agenda.

Abstract

Conflicts between workers and health experts and their multiple rationalities must always be considered in the risk communication process. Disagreements are frequent in understanding occupational exposure to environmental agents among stakeholders. The present study aimed to describe the evolution of differences between experts and oil industry workers in Bahia, Brazil. The Tool of Instructions to the Double was applied and the results followed over three annual assessment cycles (2017-2019). In the observed period, a reduction in the share of disagreements between workers and experts was identified: 25.2% ( n = 183) to 3.1% ( n  = 22), representing a percent variation of 98.9% relating the understanding of occupational noise exposure based on normative classification. The relations of conflict between workers and experts and the multiple social and cultural dimensions must always be considered as an important challenge in workers' health. Thus, the use of models encouraging dialogue and value knowledge from the experience of workers seem to be more appropriate in conflicting contexts, enhancing risk control, protection and health promotion.

Pervious concrete: porous material composed of cement, aggregates and water (Wang et al. ). Additives: crumbs incorporated in concrete mix of the modified pervious concrete (Lori et al. ). Finite elements analysis: method for solving differential equations, which consists of discretizing the material into several small particles (Wang et al. ).

Introduction

The pervious concrete is a construction material composed of cement, aggregates, and water, according to Kovac and Sicakova (), which, because it has a network of pores in its internal structure, allows the drainage of fluids through its layer, facilitating the penetration of rainwater directly to the ground, which reduces flooding on urban roadways (Lori et al. ). The pore network of its internal structure, besides allowing the penetration of liquids, also allows the penetration of gases, which...

Abstract

Digital media plays an essential role in the area of Environmental Education. This study intends to propose an activity involving media in environmental education. The participants came from a Technical Teacher Training school in the municipality of Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This city has been suffering with environmental damages and precariousness in the supply of water and sewage treatment, in addition to the excessive amount of solid waste thrown on the beaches in the high season. Among these, coconut waste. Faced with this situation, a thematic proposal was developed with the students, comprising an interactive lecture about different ways of reusing solid coconut waste and about the harmful implications when it is released to the environment. In order to accompany learning, a playful activity was performed using the mobile device feature in the Kahoot! application. Students were then asked to answer a questionnaire in an interactive and collaborative way. It is therefore possible to understand the success of this kind of playful activities and its possibilities, associated to games using mobile devices, in the context of the teaching-learning process. It can be concluded that the media-education through mobile devices improves cognitive development, autonomy, creativity and enables an eminent awareness about social-environmental problems.

Definition

Sustainable development should be at the core of countries’ policies, and nature-based solutions are an efficient solution to promote healthy spaces to healthy people. Landscape sustainability consists in a complex and dynamic process of long-term ecosystem services provided by landscape. These services are important to environmental and public health quality improvement, and to maintaining human well-being at local, regional, and international contexts. Due to the contemporary socioenvironmental challenges, landscape sustainability science assumes an important contribution to mediate and interpret the relationship between ecosystem services and human well-being. Alongside, landscape sustainability allows developing sustainable awareness and responsible consumption behavior. The recognition of the landscape potential, and its contribution to environmental regeneration and provision, is a path to safeguard and preserve the available resources, aligned with the vision of...

La universidad avanza hacia el futuro gracias a textos como los presentes, pues estos representan lo último en los avances en innovación e investigación en el campo de las Ciencias Sociales, las Artes y Humanidades así como el de los diversos adelantos en la docencia, en especial la universitaria.Este estado de cosas nos lleva a reformular planteamientos, proponer soluciones y a diagnosticar posibilidades en los sistemas de comunicación que vehiculan los nuevos contenidos: neuromárketing, grandes datos, competencias digitales, aplicaciones, TIC, telefonía móvil, docencia participativa... Es decir, nunca se ha podido aplicar de forma más adecuada a una época el adjetivo de "cambiante" como a estos albores del siglo XXI. La necesaria reflexión, basada en análisis rigurosos académico-científicos, supone la mayor aportación de textos como los de la colección "Biblioteca Formación e Investigación". Desde la Academia tenemos la obligación de aportar solidez en el pensamiento crítico con estos avances en formas y fondos, en contenidos y continentes, en historias y discursos, puesto que la vida misma es comunicación y comunicar, es vivir. La presente colección de textos nace con la visión de erigirse como el eco que mantenga el perpetuum mobile de la cultura, verdadero alma mater (madre nutricia) de la sociedad, pues no en vano a la universidad así se la ha tildado desde hace siglos... y es verdad.

Abstract

The objective of this study was to assess the worker's health (WH) risk, focused on sustainable development in a work context and based on the development and application of the Worker's Health Risk Index ( WHRI) in the oil extraction and production industry in Bahia, Brazil. The sample, obtained by quota sampling, comprised 965 participants. The development stage integrates the Interdisciplinary Workers Health Approach Instrument (IWHAI) application to collect worker's data, the analysis of the relationships between the indicators, the risk ranges definition, the WHRI formulas elaboration, the WHRI final application and its discriminant validity. Three risk ranges were defined: "Low", "Moderate" and "High". WHRI revealed the ability to identify differences between the population studied, according to sex, age group and education level. The results indicate that 74% of the participants are in the "Low", 21% in the "Moderate" and 5% in the "High" risk ranges. High-risk workers are also those with diabetes mellitus, triglycerides, altered glycemia and hypertension, poor oral hygiene and periodontal condition, smoking, less physically active (all with p < 0.05), and higher levels of abstentionism. WHRI major contribution is to make available a useful tool for the identification of WH risk, contributing to define clearer health promotion, prevention and intervention policies in the context of WH.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness of the implementation of an oral health program among Brazilian oil workers, Bahia. The program consists in an annual consultation, with and an occupational dentist and oral health technicians, performing oral examination, in addition to having access to plaque and gingival indices obtained in the exam. The Oral Hygiene Index (OHI) was used, as well as the "Quality of oral hygiene", "Periodontal disease", "Systemic Arterial Hypertension" (SAH) and "Diabetes Mellitus" (DM) questionnaires. The reduction of periodontal disease was associated with the improvement of oral hygiene quality, with a positive impact in the reduction of the probability to develop high blood pressure and DM. The oral health promotion programme was effective in keeping or maintaining good oral health among workers, also resulting in savings to the company.

Abstract

Background: Environmental bioethics seeks to promote human health concurrently with the preservation of the environment, which, together with higher education (HE) seeks to achieve competencies focused on sustainable development (SD), social responsibility (SR) and maintenance of bioethical and environmental principles. Objective: To contribute to the reflection and articulation between the principles of environmental bioethics and their repercussions in HE, SD and SR. Methodology: Multivariate and exploratory analysis, cross-sectional design, with a quantitative and qualitative approach. Sample: professors from southern Brazil, random sampling, non-probabilistic for convenience (openepi = 95% CI (%), n = 1400 professors). Approved by the Research Ethics Committees of HCPA and UFP, and CAAE 550666168.0000.5327, Plataforma Brasil. Results: The statistical analysis used was Factor Analysis (FA) and Principal Component Retention (PCR) with Varimax ® rotation. The FA produced 6 PCs, categorised and interpreted using Qualitative Content Analysis by Bardin, and the MAXQDA ® software, making it possible to highlight the most relevant information generated by the sample. Conclusions: Environmental bioethics and HE have common objectives that interact with human health and the ecosystem. Therefore, it is prudent to work on these aspects in complementary programs that address bioethical principles such as justice, equity, solidarity and dignity and that seek to promote well-being, quality of life, equity, inclusion, sustainability and social justice, encouraging SD and SR, residing in this juxtaposition the social importance of this work. The programs that advocate the bioethical approach in their actions must be worked together, and not in isolation, because, if worked individually, they do not characterise the comprehensive character recommended by the bioethical principles.

Abstract

The reduced supply of drinking water is a severe problem faced by the city of Cabo Frio, RJ, Brazil. This study aims to develop a sustainability and social responsibility project using pedagogical dynamics (PD), through the Cycle of Living Activities (CLA) with real problem situations, related to the insufficient supply of water in the municipality, involving the discipline of Fundamentals of Tourism and Hospitality (FTH) of the Integrated High School Hosting Course (IHSHC). The dynamics were applied by six students of the 3rd year of the Ismar Gomes de Azevedo Education Institute (IGAEI)), who acted as monitors. The target audience were first-year students from IHSHC, from the Fluminense Federal Institute, campus Cabo Frio (FFI-CF). An exploratory methodology was used with the approach in action research. The research was developed in three stages: organisation, application of dynamics and assessment by FFI-CF students. FFI-CF students' reflective behaviour was observed in relating theory and practice to the objectives of the discipline and enthusiasm in finding solutions to problem situations through teamwork about the questions explored. This study may interest educators working with the sustainability theme within environmental education practices.

Abstract

The residents around Rufina beach are an unique case of knowledge and experience in a fluvial ecosystem of great ecological relevance in Amazon, vital source to the planet and an important subject for all citizens. Currently, it is also a focus of study in several areas of natural and human sciences, in particular due to the specific role that women play in society. Natural resources, such as forest, soil and water, impose themselves as immediate targets for preservation, particularly by residents who daily experience tourism and withdraw their livelihood from these waters. In line with the goal 14 of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), by United Nations (UN), a global appeal to sustainability in general, this research aims to describe survival and tourism actions in the sparsely populated region located in Mucajaí, RR, Brazil, addressing the important actions of women in this region. The descriptive methodology is directed to the attitudes of citizens around the Mucajaí River. For a good resource management, an awareness raising meeting has stimulated actions to minimize the aesthetic stress on the aquatic landscape, a negative factor for geotourism, and which has as its principle conservation the inclusion of local citizens. It can be concluded that awareness and ecologically correct attitudes, such as the reduction of river pollution, guarantee social and environmental sustainability for all.

Abstract

The search for economic development together with the preservation of the environment is an increasingly popular worldwide issue. As bodies for the production and dissemination of knowledge, Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) not only work for the research on sustainable methods, processes and technologies, but they also exercise and serve as an example for society with the implementation of sustainable practices. Within the scope of a public university in Bahia, Brazil, sustainability actions, a work team periodically visits the units of the institution in order to guide workers and students on the segregation of waste in suitable containers. Waste such as paper, plastic, glass and cell phone batteries and other electronics device are collected and given proper disposal, which means it can be sent to university units that work on recycling materials, to registered recycling cooperatives or, in the case of batteries, to manufacturers able to recover materials. Green areas' conservation and fauna's protection within the University's campus are also the focus of the team's intervention. The HEIs Management Reports (MR), institutional communication tools made available from the studied public university, were used to collect the data. This document is based on the Sustainable Logistic Plan (SLP) established by normative instruction n.10, of November 2012. Thus, this work seeks to report waste and green areas' sustainability practices experiences implemented by a public university, in Bahia, Brazil, in order to highlight the gains for the environment, for the institution itself and for the culture of a sustainable society. Specific aspects around sustainability, with an emphasis on the generation and management of waste is related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the 2030 Agenda, are discussed based on data obtained in the institution's MR.

Abstract

Climate change (CC) is one of the most vehemently contested environmental debate of our time, but also a complex human problem with societal implications on several domains of life, being visible through extreme climate events such as drought and desertification, floods, forest fires and cyclones. These events frequently result in undeniable social, economic and environmental consequences, impacting more significantly on the most vulnerable populations. Gender is a differentiating variable within social vulnerability, addressed in Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)5. The experiences of women and men during and after times of climate crisis are different, considering cultural norms and practices, work functions and access to security and protection resources. Women have experienced conditions of vulnerability in multiple spheres (e.g., monetary poverty, hunger, unemployment, under-education) and are also more vulnerable to extreme weather events, to their impacts, therefore triggering situations of violence. This chapter aims to review the relevant literature to better understand and demonstrate how the emerging CC around the world can contribute to promote gender-based violence (GBV) and, more specifically, how to address women vulnerability to violence within this specific scope. A cross-cutting gender approach aligned with resilience-building programmes is necessary, as well as the adoption of sustainable policies and practices to promote CC. It is essential that policymakers may consider the knowledge and experience of women in decision-making and in empowering women, favouring an intersectionality approach to obtain more effective interventions.

Abstract

This chapter seeks to analyse the interface between social responsibility (SR) concepts in higher education (HE) and its connection with the bioethical approach. The idea of SR is an intrinsic aspect of the bioethical paradigm, and its role is increasingly recognized in several areas of knowledge due to its transdisciplinary and transversal reach. Bioethics, in turn, joins the concept of SR to reflect on the plural and salutogenic character of health, considering the social context in which decisions are made and the well-being of individuals. The philosophical foundations of the SR and Bioethics paradigms consider the individual as a necessary element for effective decision-making about their health and become essential to validate and implement the primary interventions carried out in health promotion (HP). In line with the concepts of SR and bioethics, sustainability emerges, which deals with human dignity and well-being in an approach of a fundamentally ethical character. Its greatest example is the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda. The concepts of SR, bioethics and sustainability provide the intersection with several determinants that impact social, organizational and public policy decisions. Research involving bioethics and SR seeks to recognize and validate the transversal concepts necessary for interdisciplinarity in a perspective of joint construction to implement effective policies related to SR.

Abstract

Environmental waste sustainability is a challenge in Africa, and specifically in Ghana. The absence of adequate facilities and infrastructure for sustainable waste management in metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies (MMDAs) in Ghana has led to negative and unsupervised environmental impacts of all types. This study aims to assess the organic waste generated and the ecological impacts of organic fertilizer and energy production for the Ashaiman community, Ghana. The analysis of this research focuses on how the organic waste collected in this location is treated in an anaerobic digester to produce organic fertilizer, wastewater irrigation, and biogas for electricity purposes, contributing to this community's socioeconomic benefit. Safi Sana company role in the community is presented as an example. The production of waste generated in the community leads to better development for a clean and sustainable environment. This alternative is as an acceptable way to face the challenges associated with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6 of the UN 2030 Agenda and its interconnections among the other SDGs.

Abstract

It is currently undeniable that human health is influenced by the environment and the lifestyle. The United Nations Agenda 2030 emphasizes that the assessment of sustainability cannot dissociate ecological and social problems, specifically concerning health, the environment and human beings, in a logic of collaborative platforms for sharing knowledge, solutions and good practices. These shared approaches should integrate a higher education curriculum, namely through the inclusion of a curricular unit that could be part of all courses and scientific fields to promote the interdisciplinary necessary to deal with wicked problems, such as those involved in environment and health. Sustainability cannot rely on incorporating concepts and methodologies beyond each cut (multidisciplinary). Instead, it must result from a dialogue between such concepts and methodologies (interdisciplinary), making it possible to overcome these cuts (transdisciplinary). This is the way through which scientific community deal with cross-cutting issues, accelerating progress when strengthening the robust methodological approaches of the research to be carried out. This work aims to emphasize the importance of the careful choice of methodologies to be applied to the environment and health fields. A new curricular unit called "Environmental and Health Research Methodologies" to achieve transdisciplinary among different knowledge areas is proposed, contributing to a vision of indivisibility of sustainability science and methods.

Part of the World Sustainability Series book series (WSUSE) It is currently undeniable that human health is influenced by the environment and the lifestyle. The United Nations Agenda 2030 emphasizes that the assessment of sustainability cannot dissociate ecological and social problems, specifically concerning health, the environment and human beings, in a logic of collaborative platforms for sharing knowledge, solutions and good practices.

Presents interdisciplinary outputs on sustainable policies and practices via case studies

Provides research outputs highlighting the interdependence among energy, environment, and health issues

Covers a wide range of disciplines, approaches, methods, initiatives, and projects

About this book

This book aims to give a contribution to a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the cross-cutting issues on energy, environment and health research topics in the current world scenario, where nations all over the world are struggling to accomplish the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and to ensure sustainable patterns for all. This interdisciplinary implies a commitment between all fields of science, working together to provide knowledge that could result in the promotion of quality of life. At the present, it is evident that not all people benefit from sustainable policies and practices and the communication between health, energy, environmental and social problems is undeniable. A call for different views could be a pathway attracting universities, stakeholders, organizations and civil society to deeply discuss how one solution does not fit all societies. Few publications are coherently handling this matter. This book is expected to fill this gap and to develop an interest in a larger audience working in general sustainable development and cross-cutting issues. This book is produced by the European School of Sustainability Science and Research (ESSSR).

It gives special emphasis to state-of-the-art descriptions of approaches, methods, initiatives and projects from universities, stakeholders, organizations and civil society across the world, regarding cross-cutting issues in energy, environment and health research.

Abstract

The inadequate disposal of Solid Waste (SW) in the oceans is a critical threat to the marine ecosystem due to its biological, economic and social impacts, particularly in the context of Brazil reality. The conservation and sustainable use of the oceans and marine resources is one of the goals proposed in the 2030 Agenda, comprising 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Educational environmental actions are one of the measures for the implementation of SDG 4, target 4.7, which emphasizes that students must acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to promote sustainable development. It is necessary that socio-environmental issues are treated in a transversal way, in order to contribute to the integral education of the citizen. The objective of this chapter is to identify the perception of Brazilian students at a High School Hosting course (HSH), about the damage to the marine environment and the treatment with waste, through the contents presented in the digital game Caminhada Ecológica/Ecological Walk, accessed via mobile device. The game is available on the Play Store platform for the Android system. Using a Google Docs Form, the responses of 47 students were analyzed through 5 objective questions. The Likert Scale 5 points was used, varying the score from Totally Agree to Totally Disagree, and 2 subjective questions. It was found that 95.47% of the participants agreed that the concept worked in the game sensitizes the player about the need and difficulties to keep the beach clean and the importance of the correct disposal of the SW.

Abstract

Water sustainability and universal access to water resources are essential requirements for the existence of all living beings, even in remote regions where human actions are not yet being felt with intensity. Its safeguard integrates global targets of the recognized 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, namely concerning sustainable development goals (SDGs) 6, 10, 14 and 15. The call for a global commitment in this sense is understood as one of the most challenging goals to which all sectors of society are called to intervene. This work intends to analyse the perception of lotic and lentic ecosystems of Amazon Basin, expressed by a local community. The methodology is based in interviews applied to eight inhabitants of the Municipality of Mucajaí-Roraima, Brazil, as well as on official tourism information on the territory and its contribution to the UN 2030 Agenda. The description of the results highlights that water resources in places like the Amazon basin, recognized as the largest in the world, comprises rivers, lakes and waterfalls that not only guarantee the aesthetics quality of the landscape but also contribute to the biodiversity and the balance of ecosystems. Also, lotic and lentic ecosystems can be boosted in promoting the well-being and leisure of local communities. It can be concluded that the lotic ecosystems are essential and relevant in safeguarding the water heritage in Mucajaí, Brazil, being necessary the establishment of partnerships with the government sectors, stakeholders and local communities, the latter understood as the main protagonists of the change in favour of a more sustainable future in remote regions.

Abstract

The New Ecological Paradigm scale (NEPS) is a worldwide survey-based metric, designed to measure the environmental concern of groups of people through a single instrument including fifteen statements. As far as it is known, the NEPS has never been previously applied to Urban Green Spaces' Users (UGSU). The assessment and analysis of this group's perception of the environmental concern could be a core element in promoting environmental sustainability. This research aims to measure and analyse UGSU ( n  = 132) NEPS score in a southern European city. The factor structure and psychometric properties of the NEPS revealed good internal consistency and the explained variance is higher than the original study. Thus, its application is considered reliable when applied to UGSU. UGSU presented higher ecocentric values when compared to the general population, university teachers and agricultural farmers. Concerning UGSU sociodemographic characteristics, the youngers adults are those that mostly share an ecological worldview. Also, those that more often visit Urban Green Spaces (UGS), recognized that plants and animals have the same right to exist as humans. It is expected that this work may contribute to explore the usefulness of the NEPS application in different contexts and to underline values that will have a significant effect on debates involving environmental sustainability as a cross-cutting issue.

Abstract

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has affected multiple dimensions of daily activities, including the waste scavengers' activities. This paper focuses on the effect of COVID-19 on waste scavengers' business, income, quality of life and family quality of life in three Metropolitan, Municipal Assemblies in the eastern part of Greater Accra, Ghana. A questionnaire was distributed to 46 waste scavengers using a non-probability sampling approach for a voluntary response, from March to April 2021. The sample is mainly composed of 84.8% male scavengers, most aged 18 to 47 years old and married (58.2%). The results indicate that the majority of respondents believe that COVID-19 is real and poses a health threat, but more than 21% reported not wearing Personal Protective Equipment. The study showed that 60% of waste scavengers were prohibited from entering households, thus affecting the family life income. The less sale of waste material due to COVID-19 contributed to a lower income by the waste scavengers, causing different difficulties and financial insecurity. This study showed that waste scavengers in Ghana, an essential activity, are in the front line regarding the COVID-19 pandemic and public policies intended to cover their social, economic and health vulnerability to the virus, need to be addressed.

Abstract

The state of Roraima in Brazil registers a significant number of Indigenous People (IP), distributed throughout a diversity of ethnoregions. Among them, the municipalities of Amajari, located near the region of the riverbed of Baixo Cotingo, and in the upper Ajarani River, stand out. These IP include the ethnic groups of Macuxi, Ingaricó, Taurepang and Wapixanas, which together aggregate a culturally well-developed contingent. In the municipality of Mucajaí lives another IP community, the Yanomami, recognized as the most isolated IP from South America. These communities live in two regions with potential for geotourism activity: the Extreme North Tourist Region of Brazil, covering an environment which is extremely rich in diversity of landforms, such as hills, plateaus, and valleys, and the Roraima Tourist Region in the Amazon Savanna forests. The objective of this research is to present the Macuxi and Yanomami communities in the region, which are engaged with ethnic tourism activities, highlighting their skills in promoting sustainable tourism management, namely geotourism. The methodology is qualitative exploratory, based on literature and document research in the division of ecotourism in the Mucajaí State Department for Planning. This review work was carried out from June to August 2021. Among the distinct realities relating to the environment, the results indicate that the IP from the Raposa Serra do Sol Indigenous Land feel the need for training to better understand how to welcome the tourist, and, thus, attend the requirements of the Normative Instruction n. 03/2015, which establishes norms and guidelines regarding visitation activities for tourism purposes in indigenous lands (IL). The Yanomami indigenous community also seeks partnership with institutions, either under the form of events, workshops or meetings to conceptualize and carry out strategies allowing to structure the geotourism activity. Accordingly, tourism workshops were implemented, aiming to attend the planning and development of indigenous community tourism to offer a unique tourist experience, thus contributing to build bridges between the indigenous communities and the geotourism activity, in a broader context of the concept of sustainable development.

A Critical Analysis of the Portuguese Case

Abstract

Existent waste indicators may measure the current environmental dynamics but cannot keep up with the rapid changes of our time. Waste management has deep specific implications in different sectors of our society, namely in terms of environmental quality and health outcomes. Alongside, it is undeniable that waste management practices are linked with the human development level of each country, which means that disadvantaged communities are more likely to be vulnerable to poor waste management practices. It is a critical need to investigate the current Portuguese indicators used to measure ecological sustainable development, pointing out what needs to be changed in order to make a reliable diagnosis of future ecological challenges in this context. This chapter provides a critical analysis of domestic waste indicators available in the official databases, by examining the role of these indicators in waste management in Portugal. It can be concluded that a new composite indicator able to combine social, health, and environmental variables is required to pursue the application of the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda goals at a local level.

Abstract

Climate change (CC) manifests itself through extreme weather conditions and is gaining more and more attention from the scientific community and civil society, considering the social implications in various domains of daily life. Undeniable social, economic and environmental consequences have been disclosed worldwide, in addition to the significant psychosocial impacts that the resulting weather events pose to mental health and well-being of people. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), vicarious trauma, anxiety, substance abuse, depression, survivor guilt, recovery fatigue, and suicidal ideation, are some of the mental health problems linked with the occurrence of catastrophic weather events. Other threats involve financial and relationship stress and the consequent potentiation of the risks of violence, in particular gender-based violence (GBV) and aggression, disproportionately affecting those who are most marginalized. Paradoxically, and in response to CC, the research shows that these same circumstances may also inspire individuals to more positive and adaptive behaviours, such as altruism, optimism and compassion, promoting a life meaning and individual development, motivated by CC post-traumatic growth. Based on an expert-driven literature review, this chapter intends to assess and discuss the relevant literature describing how CC impacts on the mental health and well-being of individuals and societies, as well as the hazards associated with increasing problems of violence and aggression. Likewise, it also aims to analyse and discuss specific responses to the CC that can contribute to positive changes in learning, growth and behaviour throughout life. The promotion of pro-environmental behaviour through education is considered as an important strategy in this context.

Abstract

Waste having a significant and relevant material presence in our everyday life was not considered worthy of human attention up until the 1990s. Most probably, this delayed recognition of waste is due to the fact that it has been mistakenly understood as something that is supposed to remain invisible to the human eye in a sense that it is assumed to be occupying those spaces that are not inhabited by human beings. Contemporary times, however, are marked by giving due importance to waste. It is seen as a crucial environmental and health challenge for species' survival on earth and is therefore placed center stage in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that aim to protect the planet. More recently, SDG 12, ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns, has alerted to fast-growing waste management (WM) environmental issues. With the earth being viewed as a limited natural resource and having the inadequate capacity to accommodate wastes leading to adverse environmental and health consequences, caution must be taken to understand the associations between global consumption, total waste, and wasting patterns. Conceptualizing waste as a globally circulating material, particularly in terms of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) such as carbon dioxide (CO ₂), methane (CH ₄), and sulphur oxide (SO x), the governance of waste has become a global concern. This chapter focuses on WM in Ghana, a middle-income economy country in the West of Africa. Due to rapid industrialization, Ghana is witnessing an ever-escalation of the country's contribution to global environmental waste issues, especially GHG emissions. This study aims to identify and address the challenges associated with managing waste in Ghana. Additionally, it proposes specific measures to mitigate climate change and its effects on the environment and human health resulting from WM. A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted with 101 responses received from WM experts based on the aim. The data were analysed using the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 27. 72% of respondents were male, with most completing first and second degrees and have been working between 11 and 15 years. Although most of the respondents' report waste being poorly managed, 93% consider that the associated causes of improper WM include inadequate infrastructure, lack of landfills, lack of tools and logistics, and equipment. All respondents believed that the challenges affect climate change through the emission of GHGs and particulate matter, resulting in global warming and impacting human health.

Abstract

Owing to global trade and travel, the recent novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has surpassed all geographical barriers and encompassed the entire world, impacting everyone in all spheres of life. Yet, it is evident that not every person was equally affected. In order to overcome this challenging ordeal, the World Health Organization (WHO) initially recommended washing hands with soap and maintaining hygiene as a first approach to fight against COVID-19. However, this seemingly simple instruction exposed inequalities that exist in terms of economic wealth, access to resources, urban-rural divide, and gender. The aim of this chapter is to establish how COVID-19 has made the achievement of sustainable development goal (SDG) 6, i.e., water and sanitation, of perhaps greater importance than ever before as the eradication of COVID-19 and achievement of SDG 6 are knotted. Focusing on the specific reality of the South Asian context, it is intended to analyze the social, economic, and other inequalities exacerbated by the COVID-19 and obstacles that these inequalities have brought to highlight in achieving SDG 6 and the intertwined SDG 3, i.e., health and population, in face of the current pandemic situation the world is currently experiencing.

Abstract

The sustainability term is widely used to define the scope of the principles and practices that are translated into the operationalization of actions and projects aiming to contribute to the citizens' quality of life. Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) play a preponderant role in the implementation of sustainability, having among its objectives the promotion and improvement of the health and well-being of individuals and their environments, including work environments in the scope of actions encompassing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by 2030 Agenda. The Work Health Promotion (WHP) must be aligned with the concept of sustainability in HEIs and one way of approaching this concept is through the Technical Cooperation Agreement (TCA) between HEIs and other public institutions, for an integrated and efficient approach toward the sustainability in the worker's health issues. The World Health Organization (WHO) emphasized and consolidated that, compliance with the health-related SDGs, would only be possible through health professionals. The TCA presented in this research has the goal to translate the desired approach to achieve sustainable development (SD) in HEIs. This chapter will present and discuss the setup of the TCA established between the Federal University of Bahia (UFBA) and other federal public institutions during the implementation of the Federal Public Worker Health Care Integrated Subsystem (SIASS). In this context, the connections between the implemented agreements and the SDG 3, i.e., health and well-being, and SDG 17, i.e., partnerships for the goals, through public and public-private partnerships, will be addressed to support SD in HEIs. To achieve the study's objective, exploratory, descriptive, and qualitative research was made to identify how UFBA plays a leadership role in implementing sustainability practices in WHP policies and by establishing TCA in the field of occupational health with other public federal institutions in the state of Bahia.

Abstract

Organizations worldwide are facing challenges in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) integrating the 2030 Agenda, defined by the United Nations (UN). Among these goals, it is the SDG 5 on gender equity (GE), which addresses the need to increase the necessary skills for workers to achieve empowerment and leadership in management positions. Full and effective participation with equal opportunities to women to occupy leadership positions in all sectors of society must be guaranteed, reducing gender inequality, thus allowing social sustainability to be accomplished. Slowly but gradually, the understanding about the SDG 5 is gaining strength in the context of the Brazilian society. With the slogan "The woman's place is wherever she wants!", the Brazil's women seek to guarantee equal rights and opportunities. With women representing 51.8% of the Brazilian population, the GE in Brazil is a significant daily achievement. An exploratory study was conducted to collect the data, through a quantitative and qualitative descriptive approach. This chapter will connect the women empowerment (WE) with the effective occupation of the top career positions at Federal University of Bahia (UFBA). This subject is an important issue in the social sustainability context in a public university in the north-eastern region of Brazil. The chapter will discuss the GE as proposed by the UN in SDG 5, based on the fact that 45.8% of high hierarchical positions at UFBA are occupied by women, therefore illustrating the WE as part of the social responsibility's trajectory towards the full achievement of societal sustainable development.

Violence is a multifaceted phenomenon that infiltrates various cultures and systems, necessitating a comprehensive understanding to enhance prevention and intervention strategies. This Special Issue reprint includes systematic and scoping reviews on diverse forms of violence, aiming for improved characterization. It highlights the growing focus of research on the urgent need for specific preventive measures against both traditional and emerging forms of violence. Additionally, the issue encompasses empirical, quantitative, and qualitative research aimed at deepening insights into the dynamics unique to various expressions of violence. These include offline (e.g., dating violence, sexual harassment, gender-based violence, and intimate partner violence) and online violence (e.g., cyber interpersonal violence), across different social and cultural contexts and among various population groups, including minorities and vulnerable groups (e.g., elderly women). By enriching our understanding of violence and emphasizing the need for a comprehensive strategy to address it across different contexts and populations, these contributions aim to support the creation of safer, more inclusive societies through informed research and policymaking.
