Management of Greenhouse Gas Emissions for Airport Inventories

2020

Greenhouse gases retain heat in the atmosphere since they absorb most of the Earth's outgoing long wave infrared radiation. The energy trapping alters the radiative balance that, in turn, modifies weather patterns at a global scale, progressively increasing the natural greenhouse effect. Heattrapping ability of some pollutants and primarily the carbon overload in the atmosphere as a result of human activities which have been protracted over a long period of time, has led to climate change and increase in global average temperature. In a long-term perspective, emission abatement from aviation sector has needed wide-ranging strategies. In this view an inventory of greenhouse gases can be a be…

Many-particle theory for time-dependent quantum transport in nanostructures

2012

During the recent decades, molecular electronics has established its place as one of the promising fields in the nanoscience. The possibility to manufacture and control molecular junctions where single molecules are squeezed between the conducing electrodes has opened up new possibilities to develop nanoscale devices which could be employed as building blocks for future nanoelectronic applications. The driving force for this new branch of physics has been the experimental advances but also theoretical methods have been under intensive study and many theoretical tools have been developed to understand the electron transport processes in the nanoscale systems. This thesis focuses on developin…

BENCHMARKING FOR A SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

2015

Benchmarking can represent a rich source of inspiration for creative managers and employees who want to eliminate the mistakes of the past and to find new ways that lead to performance. After a research made from secondary sources, we proposed a new type of benchmarking, designed especially for a sustainable development: the "green-benchmarking". For its applying, a new evaluation index system is required.

GLOBAL CRISIS AND THE NEED FOR GREEN ECONOMY. CASE STUDY ROMANIA

2012

The impact of the international economic crisis raises the necessity of redesigning the current pattern of development towards new approaches. In this context the green economy is a priority in implementing a new approach aimed to reconfigure the economic process throughout the product life cycle assessment. In the last period as the effects of environmental global issue, the new sectors of the green economy accelerated their growth worldwide, transition to a green Economy is characterized by substantially increased investments in economic sectors that build on and enhance the earth`s natural capital or reduce ecological scarcities and environmental risks. The paper analyses the implication…

Crítica a la naturalización del deontologismo en la teoría del proceso dual del juicio moral de Joshua Greene

2018

In this paper I propose to question the Joshua Greene’s neuroethical thesis about the essentially emotional character of so-called “deontological moral judgments”. Frist, I focus on the dual process theory of moral judgment and I criticize that they are considered only and mainly intuitive and non reflective. Se condly, I question that the “utilitarian judgment” is linked to mathematical calculation and the deontological judgment is exclusively reduced to non-reflective factor of emotion. The main objection to Greene’s naturalism raised by me is trying to eliminate the philosophical justification about the moral validity defended by Kant’s deontologism; meanwhile Greene reduces “deontologic…

Replacing short-haul flights with land-based transportation modes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions: the case of Finland

2019

Even though air travel often provides the fastest transport option, it also has the highest climate impact. Especially on long-haul trips, an aircraft usually represents the only feasible option. Nevertheless, aircraft are more often used on short-haul routes as well. It is the short-haul flights that produce the highest emissions per passenger. These are also the ones that could be replaced the most easily by land-based transportation modes. This study investigates the greenhouse gas emissions reduction potential of replacing short-haul flights with train, coach and car travel within Finland while also taking into account real travel times from door to door. Our results showed that replaci…

Sankareita vai rikollisia? : Greenpeacen syksyn 2013 iskun mediakuva suomalaisessa sanomalehdistössä

2015

Kun 18. syyskuuta 2013 Greenpeacen aktivistit nousivat Pohjois-Venäjällä energiayhtiö Gazpromin öljynporauslautalle, iskua ja sen jälkipyykkiä käsiteltiin mediassa erittäin tiiviisti. Erityisesti suomalainen aktivisti Sini Saarela päätyi valokeilaan. Tässä tutkimuksessa selvitetään, miten Greenpeacen isku näyttäytyi suomalaisessa sanomalehdistössä syksyn 2013 aikana. Analyysin kohteena ovat kahdessa valtakunnallisessa sanomalehdessä, Helsingin Sanomissa ja Ilta-Sanomissa, julkaistut uutisjutut. Laadullisen diskurssianalyysin avulla osoitan, missä diskursseissa isku sekä siihen osallistuneet aktivistit lehdistössä esitettiin. Määrällisessä analyysissä taas kartoitan, mitkä toimijat pääsivät …

Voluntary agreements for the achievement of sustainable development goals : Dutch Green Deals and WRAP agreements

2016

Voluntary environmental agreements (VEAs) are attracting considerable attention due to the complexity of the current environmental issues. Fostering collaboration between public and private parties is considered an effective means for achieving sustainable development goals. Even though VEAs have been studied in the past, little research has focused on the novel and successful agreements from the Netherlands (Green Deals) and the UK (WRAP agreements). Thus, this study aims at filling this gap of knowledge by exploring the way the Dutch Green Deals and WRAP agreements work and how their efficiency is measured. The data in this qualitative study was collected through theme interviews. In tota…
