Abstract The process of quality assurance in the study of foreign languages in Technical Higher Education builds and increases employers’ confidence in the graduates. Thus, acquiring technical and communicative competences becomes a â€?must?? when entering a competitive job market. The qualitative results of our research have revealed some of the factors sustaining students’ excellence performance in the study of foreign languages. In conclusion, the elaboration and implementation o...

AbstractThis study estimates the number of visitors to State Protected Wilderness Areas (SPWAs) in Chile by origin (national andforeign), using annual data from 1986 to 2011. Two linear regression models were used: one to estimate the number of Chileanvisitors and the other for foreign visitors. The model to predict Chilean visitors in 2013-2014 incorporates the GDP per capita inChile, the annual trend in the conditions of international economic crises, while the model to predict the number of f...

AbstractIn the context of the complexity of the environmental system, this paper addresses the problem of environmental modeling,considering the global aspects of sustainability as well as the linkage between environmental and economic issues. The survey onintegrated modeling highlights that the complexity of the environmental problems should be approached on the basis of multidisciplinarycooperation and studies. Furthermore, the European environmental standards and products quality standards im...

AbstractThe environmental pressure brought by foreign direct investment (FDI) to China has been an increasingly common topic. It is thecurrent and later policy tropism to protect environment all-sided and keep the environmental elements continual use in making useof FDI in China. Environmental effect of FDI is a "double blade sword". This paper first analyzes the environmental effects ofFDI and the terms of its positive effect, and then analyzes the negative environmental impacts of FDI in China...

AbstractBased on the 1995-2009 panel data from 29 provinces of China mainland, this paper uses the panel co-integration model to assessthe influence of technology spillover effect from Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and that from import on the carbon emissionsof China. The result shows that both have an inhibitory effect on the carbon emissions, and the inhibitory effects brought by thelatter is more distinct than the former. Based on the analysis, we put forward several points on how to take b...

AbstractBecause of the current researches ignoring the spatial spillover effects of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), this study empiricallyanalyses the spatial spillover effects of FDI on carbon emission intensity by using the spatial panel data model. Results show thatthe spatial autocorrelation between FDI and carbon emission intensity in China is evident, and that FDI is not only conducive toreducing of carbon emission intensity of the local region whose space spillover effects but also has a...

AbstractThe most important issues of the new millennium are the adaption of renewable energies; and the establishment and operation ofsocial and technical systems that have little impact on the environment. People must undertake to solve this problem during theestablishment of the everyday life of the settlements. In the course of this study, the authors surveyed the documents related tothe energy strategy of the local municipalities of the Northern Great Plain region. This document analysis was...

Abstract Toxic chemical nature of tannery wastewater makes it difficult to be treated by routine biological treatment processes. Microbes, already present in tannery wastewater can adapt to these conditions and degrade the organics in tannery wastewater. In the present contribution, three bacterial electrogenic strains, tolerant to tannery environment, were isolated from soil contaminated with tannery waste and named as BS1, BS2, and BS3. Tannery wastewater was treated with these pure and mi...

We analysed the body of knowledge on the topic of environmental management in the construction sector with the intention to identify the state of the art and opportunities for further research. The articles' database is from international journals in English and in Portuguese languages. We identified key features of interest related to environmental management in the construction sector by performing a systematic analysis. Relevant articles along with their level of citations and the reco...

Industrial packaging waste as an object of reverse logistics has nowadays from environmental and cost perspective become a huge task especially in retail. In addition to that most costs come from transportation, which if not rationalized leads to negative environmental impacts. The research consists out of two parts, where the first part provides an overview of domestic and foreign literature in the field of environmental impacts caused by transportation of packaging waste in retail and, the sec...

Environmental pollution has become a major global problem. However, despite increased environmental investment, studies have not clarified whether environmental pollution has been effectively controlled. On the basis of 1998-2014 panel data on three types of industrial waste from 31 mainland China provinces, a stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) model was used to estimate the input efficiency of environmental governance in China, explore the overall characteristics of input efficiency, and explor...

The paper brings a methodological contribution useful for supporting the development of predictive models of phenomena and human behaviours in the area of environmental protection with respect for history, geo-location, environment boundaries and considering further applications in defining corresponding stimulating policies by decision makers and management teams. It proposes a handy and easy-to-use technique of deriving spatial variables (e.g. aerial distances to a custom border and belonging...
