The Wastewater – A Problem of Integrated Urban Water Management
2013
Abstract In order to live the man uses various generating resources through waste products his work. Use of water resources causes many types of wastewater, depending on the type of household consumption, industrial or city. Integrated management of water resources represents practical ways in which sustainable development is achieved in the field of water, including wastewater management, and is also the responsibility of all interested parties: the state, local communities, users, operators and NGOs waters. The present study shows the role and the importance of integrated management of urban water. The steps to be followed in establishing wastewater management are trying highlighting new …
Cambio tecnológico, privatización y recuperación de la autogestión comunitaria del riego. El caso de Senyera (València)
2018
[ES] Los procesos de cambio de tecnología del riego están facilitando la penetración silenciosa de la empresa privada en los sistemas de gestión colectiva del riego en numerosos lugares de España y otros países mediterráneos. Este artículo analiza este fenómeno a partir del caso de estudio de Senyera (València), siguiendo la privatización, la disputa y la posterior recolectivización de la gestión por parte de los usuarios del riego. El trabajo muestra como la privatización menoscaba la autonomía de los agricultores y eleva los costes de gestión en un contexto de escasa transparencia. También revela la capacidad de los regantes para reelaborar su pasada acción colectiva, dando lugar a una nu…
Essays in applied microeconomics on water resources management
2017
En el contexto actual de creciente escasez de recursos hídricos, el principal objetivo de esta tesis doctoral es contribuir a la mejora de las políticas urbanas de gestión del agua. En un sentido amplio, las conclusiones centrales derivadas de los ensayos incluidos en la misma se pueden agrupar en torno a cuatro aspectos. En concreto, implicaciones para las políticas de demanda, implicaciones para la gobernanza en la gestión urbana del agua, contribuciones metodológicas, y, finalmente, lecciones de política pública para la gestión del agua en España. Resultados sobre políticas de demanda: Como se ha desarrollado de forma más detallada en la introducción, las políticas de demanda, tanto tari…
Increasing the Efficiency of Education Systems by Improving Human Resource Management
2016
In today's economies, investment in education and in the training employees are at least as important as investments in heritage. We live increasingly longer in an economy based on information, technology and production, in which methods are changed rapidly and constantly. Human capital formation should be approached at least as good as physical capital formation and the reform in education should strive to treat the former obviously.
Efficiency of COVID-19 Testing Centers in Iran: A Data Envelopment Analysis Approach
2022
AbstractObjective:The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficiency of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) in managing their nonmonetary resources involved in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) response.Methods:For this purpose, the data envelopment analysis approach was used to measure the efficiency, considering the number of personnel and vehicles and screened passengers as the input and output parameters, respectively. It was examined the efficiency of 10 IRCS’s branches given 17 d of screening operation. For the analysis, the DEA SolverPro software 15a version was used.Results:The results show that only 1 branch had been fully efficient in using the resources, while 5 bra…
HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN MARITIME CONTAINER TERMINALS: OPTIMISATION METHODS AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS
2014
In the competitive environment of container transport, Container Terminals (CT) have to plan carefully the management of their resources and services in order to satisfy shipping companies’ requirements. Failure to do so may lead vessel operators to re-schedule their routes calling at new promising terminals. In particular, the optimal management of human resources is a major issue in port systems having low automation and high labour costs. This thesis aims at providing a large overview of current practices and issues concerning the management of dockworkers in the CT area, in order to suggest the analytical methods and policies for its improvement. The focus is on the operational plan (24…

Cilvēkresursu vadība par viesu sūdzības apmierināšanas kvalitāti viesnīcu nozarē
2020
Pētījuma mērķis ir identificēt galvenos cilvēkresursu vadības elementus, kas ietekmē viesu sūdzību apmierināšanu, un izstrādāt ieteikumus, lai labāk atrisinātu sūdzības, kas pozitīvi ietekmē viesnīcas konkurētspēju. Pirmkārt, tas sniedz teorētisku pētījumu par cilvēkresursu vadības sistēmu, parāda attiecības starp HRM un viesu sūdzībām un to, kā sūdzības var rasties uzturēšanās laikā viesnīcā. Attīstības otrā nodaļa ir Uzbekistānas tūrisma nozares analīze, valsts reformas un HRM statistika šajā jomā. Pēdējā daļa no papīra ir empīrisks pētījums, kas ir darīts Hotel Uzbekistānā, kas precizē reālus jautājumus par sūdzībām un apmierinātības kvalitāti, ietekmējot uz HRM kā sviru.
On the Role of Perception: Understanding Stakeholders’ Collaboration in Natural Resources Management through the Evolutionary Theory of Innovation
2021
Natural resources management deals with highly complex socioecological systems. This complexity raises a conundrum, since wide-ranging knowledge from different sources and types is needed, but at the same time none of these types of knowledge is able by itself to provide the basis for a viable productive system, and mismatches between the two of them are common. Therefore, a growing body of literature has examined the integration of different types of knowledge in fisheries management. In this paper, we aim to contribute to this ongoing debate by integrating the evolutionary theory of innovation—and specifically the concept of proximity—and the theory of perception. We set up a theoretical …
A management and optimisation model for water supply planning in water deficit areas
2014
Summary The integrated water resources management approach has proven to be a suitable option for efficient, equitable and sustainable water management. In water-poor regions experiencing acute and/or chronic shortages, optimisation techniques are a useful tool for supporting the decision process of water allocation. In order to maximise the value of water use, an optimisation model was developed which involves multiple supply sources (conventional and non-conventional) and multiple users. Penalties, representing monetary losses in the event of an unfulfilled water demand, have been incorporated into the objective function. This model represents a novel approach which considers water distri…
