Fast Fashion, Fashion Brands and Sustainable Consumption

Fast fashion &amp; Sustainable consumption.- Luxury and fashion brand communication differentiation for sustainable consumer –behavior.- Fashion Brands and Consumers approach towards Sustainable Fashion.- Motives of Sharing: Examining Participation in Fashion Reselling &amp; Swapping Markets.&lt;br&gt;

This book studies one part of the Sundarbans, the largest and one of the most fragile mangrove ecosystems in the world. The study is placed in the context of highly topical international debates on biodiversity, climate change and economic transformation, in a region of South Asia that still faces immense population pressure and severe poverty. An analysis of existing and potential future policies sets the debate in a comparative international perspective that has relevance well beyond the confines of South Asia.
 
 While there have been a large number of studies on the socio-economic aspects of physical quality of life in the Sunderbans, there are very few perception studies except at a basic level. The current volume has two major aspects. The first part contains a detailed study of overall 
 demography and objective life condition
 which includes (a) quality and ownership of private goods – equipment and machinery, livestock, house, land, consumer goods; (b) quality of public goods and amenities and their accessibility; (c) objective measures of relatively abstract factors related to social, political and familial environment such as quality of governance, extent of gender equality, social inclusion, social harmony, security, law and order, family bondings; (d) financial assets and indebtedness; (e) income and expenditure; (f) natural and man-made calamity, and; (g) vulnerability related to points (d), (e) and (f) above.
 
 The second part comprises a detailed study of 
 subjective life satisfaction, and value systems and priorities
 . The former refers to 
 people’s perception
 regarding the various facets of their 
 personal life
 - economic situation, standard of living, family and friends, work life and environment as also their 
 perception about the well-being of the community
 . This refers to the overall social, business, and political environment such as social and help network, social inclusion, communal harmony, participation in civic and social activities, job opportunities and employment generation, government developmental project initiatives, disaster management initiatives, law and order etc. 
 Value systems and priorities
 refer to individual rankings of the factors considered as necessary for personal happiness and for a happy society. It also includes their preferred rankings of government developmental initiatives and views regarding effectiveness and impact of such initiatives.&nbsp;

Das Fachbuch befasst sich mit den aktuellen Herausforderungen und Trends im Supply Chain Management und insbesondere in der Supply-Chain-Planung.

Es gibt einen Ausblick auf zukünftige Megatrends in der Supply Chain und beschreibt ausführlich, welche Rolle KI und Data Science dabei spielen werden.
Der Leser erhält einen anschaulichen und umfassenden Überblick über die aktuellen Herausforderungen, Trends und Entwicklungen im Supply Chain Management. Er erfährt, welche Lösungsansätze mittels KI, Machine Learning und Data Science für diese Herausforderungen bereits existieren und wo und wie KI in der Supply Chain eingesetzt werden kann, um die Effizienz zu steigern, Risiken zu erkennen und zu vermeiden, Kosten zu senken und die Flexibilität der Wertschöpfungskette zu erhöhen. Für jede Herausforderung zeigt das Buch anhand von Praxisbeispielen, wie Unternehmen von diesen Technologien profitieren und einen signifikanten Wettbewerbsvorteil erzielen können.

Transforming Mindsets to Shape Our Future

The Power of Arts-Based Pedagogies

Leadership in Global Health outlines the essential leadership principles that transform promising health interventions into global movements, offering a timely and compelling blueprint for leaders seeking to drive lasting, scalable change.Grounded in decades of lessons from global health successes and failures, and illustrated through deeply analyzed, real-world case studies, the book reveals what happens when leadership meets coordinated action. These stories - from the eradication of smallpox and the large-scale delivery of malaria bed nets to the community-based innovations of Ethiopia's Health Extension Program and the lightning-fast COVID-19 vaccine rollout - show how leadership in global health is not one-size-fits-all, but rather dynamic, responsive, and deeply human. In an era where complex health challenges range from emerging pandemics to enduring inequities, the book centers the role of leadership-strategic, adaptive, and collaborative-as the critical engine for scaling health interventions, offering readers not only compelling narratives from the field, but also practical tools and reflections which give the book a forward-looking focus.Building to offer a roadmap for developing the next generation of global health leaders equipped to thrive in multi-sectoral, rapidly evolving environments, it will be essential reading for students, scholars and practitioners across Global Health, Public Health, Leadership and Development Studies.

Non-Financial Reporting and ESG Performance

Nachhaltigkeit darf sich nicht nur an kurzfristigen Erfolgen oder ausschließlich an finanziellen Ergebnissen orientieren, sondern muss zwangsläufig langfristige Ziele wie Stabilität, Resilienz und Flexibilität verfolgen. Dies gilt auch für die Berücksichtigung ökologischer und sozialer Aspekte und die Umsetzung entsprechender Maßnahmen. Dieses Buch will mit sachlichen und wissenschaftlich fundierten Argumenten sowie unter Berücksichtigung historischer und aktueller Entwicklungen in Wirtschaft und Politik einen Beitrag zur Diskussion um die wichtigen und drängenden Fragen der Nachhaltigkeit leisten. Die aus der Analyse skizzierten 16 Bausteine fassen wesentliche Aspekte und Herausforderungen der Transformation zusammen.Die zentralen Herausforderungen der Nachhaltigkeit wurden in der 2. Auflage noch pointierter und umfassender dargestellt, ebenso die Aufweichung nachhaltigkeitsbezogener EU-Regulierungen (z. B. Berichtspflichten, Lieferkettengesetze, Emissionshandel, Grenzausgleichsmechanismus). Angesichts des weltweiten Rückgangs demokratischer Strukturen und der Ausbreitung autokratischer Machtpolitik wird die politische Dimension tiefgreifend analysiert.Der Inhalt<ul><li>Freiwillig nachhaltig oder hilft nur Druck?</li><li>Was bringen Klimaschutzabkommen und CO₂-Bepreisung?</li><li>Machen Lieferkettengesetze die Welt wirklich besser?</li><li>Ressourcenknappheit und Kreislaufwirtschaft</li><li>Wirtschaftswachstum – Wahn oder Wirklichkeit?</li><li>Wieviel ist genug?

Gesundheit, Kommunikation und Gesellschaft

Die Public Health Humanities verstehen Gesundheit und Krankheit als kulturell und sozial geprägte Phänomene. Sie ergänzen die empirisch orientierte Multidisziplin Public Health um geisteswissenschaftliche und künstlerische Perspektiven. Dabei fragen sie nach der Bedeutung des Künstlerischen für die Gesundheit, interessieren sich für moralische, soziale und kulturelle Dimensionen von Gesundheit und Krankheit in Kunst bzw. Medien und bieten theoretische Zugänge für gesundheitliche Analysen an. Bezugsdisziplinen sind u.a. Kunst-, Kultur- und Medienwissenschaften, Philosophie und Geschichte. Die Beiträger*innen leuchten das Spektrum unterschiedlicher Perspektiven und Zugänge der Public Health Humanities erstmals auf Deutsch aus.
