Through a comprehensive analysis of secondary data, including recent literature on AI and GHRM, the study explores the potential of AI to advance green practices within healthcare settings. AI's capabilities in analyzing large datasets, improving diagnostic accuracy, and streamlining administrative tasks are examined alongside its role in promot¿ing sustainability.

Research and Innovations in Industrial and Marine Biotechnology: A Circular Economy 2024

The birth of new nations, independent democracies, the defeat of settler colonialism, the unprecedented growth of cities from Lagos to Cairo; the African continent is booming. So why do myths about underdevelopment, unproductive land and unfounded concerns about overpopulation remain?In a groundbreaking new study of Africa's developmental history, economist Joe Studwell debunks long-held views about the continent's presumed resistance to growth, charting monumental changes in government, demography and asset management. Considering everything from settler colonialism to soil conditions, mineral extractivism to disease development and eradication, and across case studies from Rwanda to Botswana, Studwell persuasively argues that the seizing back of land, people and states across Africa, has also been the seizure of mass economic development. From slavery to independence and beyond, this is the definitive account of the world's second largest continent - and an optimistic look to its future.

The Responsible Investment Series

Many leading investment institutions - including asset managers, pension funds, and insurance companies - have made commitments to sustainable investment or to the delivery of sustainability goals alongside their investment objectives.This mainstreaming of sustainable investment raises many important questions, such as:¿ Do sustainable finance strategies lead to meaningful real-world change? Are fears about greenwashing justified?¿ Does sustainable investment deliver better financial outcomes? And is it consistent with investors' fiduciary duties?¿ Can the sustainability data and ratings used in finance be trusted? Does sustainability information drive improved sustainability performance?¿ How should sustainable investment be governed? What are the roles and responsibilities of public and private actors.This book unpacks the key terms, concepts and debates - both theoretical and applied - that underpin sustainable investment. Through evidence-based analysis, it cuts through the hype to critically exploring sustainable finance's transformative potential as well as its limitations. In doing so, the book enables public policymakers, financial institutions, companies, civil society organisations and academics to engage in a more informed discussion about the contribution that sustainable investment can make to sustainability goals.

Key Debates in Sustainable Investment

This book analyses the right to water and sanitation at both the international level and national levels.

This book provides a comprehensive overview of Russia's Arctic policies since the 2022 war with Ukraine began. Covering geopolitical transformations, domestic evolutions and the role of climate change, it traces how, for around two decades, Russia has renewed its strategic interest in the Arctic region. It reflects on how, with more than half of the circumpolar territories, Russia's Arctic regions generate between 10 and 15% of Russia's GDP and a quarter of its exports, with the yet-to-be-explored reserves of the Arctic continental shelf also offering immense potential. Russia's Arctic analyses the growth of hydrocarbon deposits in the far north of Siberia and nearby offshore areas and how this has contributed to the rapid development of the Northern Sea Route. Marlene Laruelle and Jean Radvanyi examine the tremendous long-term importance of the region for Russia, regardless of internal political developments and the state of relations with the West. Long a place for science diplomacy and transborder dialogue, the region has once again become a hotspot for geostrategic tensions and a new interface between an expanded NATO and Russia. While the West is imposing increasingly broad sanctions specifically targeting Arctic hydrocarbon development projects, the Russian government is striving to circumvent or mitigate their effects with countermeasures by relying on their allies, most of whom are Asian. Laruelle and Radvanyi convincingly contend that Russian Arctic development policy must take into account the economic needs of the Russian budget and the geopolitical realities of decoupling from the West and pivoting towards the so-called 'Global South'. Additionally, it must consider the heavy legacies of the past in terms of population, infrastructure, and pollution, as well as future projections regarding the impact of climate change.

This book offers a thorough investigation of how Citizen Charters may be effective vehicles for improving accountability, transparency, and citizen engagement in local governance, focusing particularly on Bangladesh's experience&nbsp;within the broader South Asian context, highlighting how Citizen Charters may empower people and change local government responsiveness in developing nations. Structured across eight thematically interconnected chapters, the book starts with a solid conceptual and theoretical analysis of local government and accountability systems. It then compares implementation strategies in India, Nepal, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan—finding insights and challenges that speak universally. It then moves on to investigate the history of Citizen Charters and the path of local government reform in Bangladesh, revealing the contextual reality, institutional constraints, and reform initiatives influencing service delivery.
 The book offers insights into how Citizen Charters function in practice, what hinders their effectiveness, and how their potential might be tapped by drawing on actual case studies from 
 Union Parishads
 —Bangladesh's lowest tier of rural local government. It is essential reading for scholars of public administration, governance, and development studies; legislators looking for evidence-based reform ideas; NGO workers focussing on civic involvement and accountability; and anyone curious about how grassroots tools such as Citizen Charters can support the inclusive and accountable government in the Global South.

New Frontiers in Regional Science: Asian Perspectives

This book integrates diversified disciplines, research approaches, and methodologies of area studies, regional economic development, and regional science. With its huge population, China has accomplished rapid economic growth since the 1990s, although the significant income gap among regions and individuals has become a serious problem for its society. China's accession to the WTO in 2001 has had various influences on the entire food system, from agriculture to consumers, through the food manufacturing and distribution industries. The changes in the Chinese food system are considered to have also affected the agriculture and food industries in Asian countries where economic interdependence has been promoted in past decades. The author argues these issues based on interdisciplinary and multi-disciplinary methods and approaches and has successfully derived empirical and theoretical results that are rich in policy implications. The topics addressed include food security and sustainability of agriculture especially in the suburbs of big cities; poverty reduction in rural agricultural areas amidst prosperity in urban and coastal areas; regional networks and international trade of the food industry in East Asia; creation of innovative knowledge and human capital for clustering of the agro-food sector; regional development strategy; and international cooperation. The book is interesting for researchers in the field, especially for those who are concerned with the food system that has been changed dynamically in the past two decades, and it is informative, as well, for practitioners who are engaged in related business.

Sustainable Construction Management and Transportation Planning

What makes a person want to be a tree? Bren and his partner Caelyn are feeling at a standstill in their lives. One day they come across a video of people in the forest who believe that if they stand still for long enough they will transform into trees. The idea is absurd. But it's spreading. Soon, people start to go missing and trees appear in unlikely places. As cities decay and the world becomes greener, Caelyn becomes more and more convinced that arborescence is exactly what will save the planet from human destruction. Bren isn't so sure. Drifting apart, Bren and Caelyn are forced to question what it really means to be human - and if they are ready to stand still.

Phoretic Motions of Liquid Droplets: A Theoretical Analysis provides a detailed description of the fundamentals of the electrostatics and electrokinetics of various kinds of droplets: dielectric droplets, conducting droplets such as liquid metal droplets, polymeric liquid droplets and the implications they have for their broad practical applications. It is crucial to fully understand the underlying electrokinetic mechanisms before any meaningful practical applications of liquid droplets can be launched successfully. This is the first book to directly address phoretic motion of droplets; previously there has only been brief mention in texts mostly about solid particles, on which there is much more literature. Droplets of different kinds have different applications in practice. For instance, conducting droplets like liquid metal droplets have an inherent advantage in drug delivery over liposomes of dielectric droplets in terms of chemiphoresis, although both are widely used in drug delivery and micro/nanofluidic operations, among other practical applications. The book provides insights and guidelines for design engineers in drug delivery even in the fabrication stage of the droplets carrying therapeutic chemicals. Moreover, it is helpful in analyzing data for experimental researchers as well. For instance, a droplet filled with dielectric materials may not behave electrokinetically like a dielectric droplet under certain circumstances in practice, as might be expected by experimentalists. Phoretic Motions of Liquid Droplets is written for researchers, industry engineers, and graduate and postdoc students in the field of colloidal and interface science and technology who are working on colloidal physics aspects and focused on electrokinetics, primarily from a chemical engineering, biomedical and biochemical engineering background.
