Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffectiveness of Business Practices Related to Climate Change as a Driver for Improving Environmental PerformanceNaciti Valeria, Centorrino GiovannaThis study explores the relationship between business practices related to climate change and environmental performance. Using an international sample of analysis from 2013 to 2017, the paper examines how managerial incentives, public policy, disclosure, and responsibilities to executives on climate change, as corporate governance factors, affect a firm's environmental performance. By employing several regression analyses, our independent variables-incentives, public policy, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 19, Issue 1 · 7 Feb 2022 · 6,792 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleClimate Change-An Unprecedented Challenge for Humankind Survival; Energy Exploitation from the Atmospheric Electrical CircuitGiovanni Pietro Gregori, Bruce Allen LeybourneA more detailed summary is given in the last part (1/4th) of the Introduction. An anomalous period is in progress, characterized by a very intense release of endogenous energy from the Earth. The cause is an ongoing heartbeat of the Earth’s electrocardiogram. Humankind’s history spans a much shorter duration. Hence, at present the humans are going to face an unprecedented … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 2 Nov 2021 · 6,455 accessesView PDFCite
Research NotesOpen accessEvery word in the titleTime-Resolution of Climate Change Monitoring Volcanic Cycles, Stromboli, Ocean Floor Biota and Pandemics (?)Giovanni Pietro Gregori, Gabriele PaparoClimate change is an ongoing, poorly understood and disquieting challenge. The primary drivers are debated. Clear evidence is however suggestive of a time variation of the planetary release of endogenous energy. In fact, soil exhalation is an unprecedented challenge for humankind, as a phenomenon of this kind happens only every 27.40.05 Ma, while human history spans only the last 30,0000 … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 7 Sep 2021 · 6,258 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleAnalysis of Non-Equilibrium Phase Change in Transfers at Low Water Content by Considering the Film FlowMarcel Bawindsom Kébré, François Ouédraogo, Bétaboalé Naon et al.In this study, we analyze the effect of non-equilibrium phase change on transfer at low water content in a sandy soil by considering the contribution of film flow in the motion of liquid water. Indeed, most of the non-equilibrium study methods use for hydraulic conductivity, the van Genuchten-Mualem (VGM) capillary model which does not consider the film flow occurred at … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 1 Jun 2021 · 6,401 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleDetermining Causes of Gully Erosion and Associated Rates of Change in South-East Nigeria, using a Remote Sensing and GIS MethodologySylvanus IroThe study of gully development on a regional scale is currently threatened by the intrinsic costs associated with steady field tracking and monitoring and the lack of historic measurements to perform time series analysis. The research objective is to develop a low-cost GIS and Remote Sensing methodology for monitoring and quantifying gully erosion and development over time, identifying the impact … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 16, Issue 5 · 22 Oct 2020 · 7,434 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleGreen Leadership as an Emerging Style for Addressing Climate Change Issues in SchoolsWahab AliThis paper attempts to investigate the concept of green leadership towards creating a greener environment through addressing issues of climate change and global warming. This initiative has been undertaken because principals take on a leading role in climate change education. As such an exploratory study was undertaken aimed at eliciting the views of principals about climate concepts and their opinions … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 15, Issue 1 · 22 Jun 2019 · 8,311 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleA Review of Effects of Environmental Change on Human HealthUttam PaudelCurrent knowledge production on the effects of environmental exposures on human health reflects technological, social and economic development broadly; theoretical and methodological advancements in social science and medicine more specifically. Human health and the welfare mainly rely on refurbishing and protecting the integrity of the natural systems such as fresh air, safe water, biodiversity, toxic waste management and proper land … …American Journal of Environmental Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 29 Apr 2018 · 8,542 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleCombating Climate Change One Bite at a Time: Environmental Sustainability of Veganism (with a Socio-Behavioral Comparison of Vegans and Omnivores)Jennifer M. Ghahari, Jennifer A. McAdamIn an era of escalating climate change, our research examines the environmental benefits of veganism and finds which factors could contribute to a societal shift towards veganism. Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) release significant greenhouse gas emissions as well as expose people and animals to pathogens. Tropical rainforest destruction for grazing land, the vast amount of fresh/potable water needed for … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2018 · 9,764 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Use of Remote Sensing Techniques in Detecting and Predicting Forest Vegetation Change Using MODIS Satellite Data, Golestan, IranAkram Karimi, Sara Abdollahi, Hamid Reza Kabiri Balajadeh et al.It is so important to be aware of quantitative and qualitative characteristics of changes for the environment, land use planning and sustainable development. Detecting the changes in the condition of an issue is done by time difference observations. Change detection refers to the process of detecting time changes of an object through different time observations. The detection of changes by … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 11, Issue 1 · 30 Mar 2018 · 8,294 accessesView PDFCite
Review ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleThe Rainfall Factor of Climate Change Effects on the Agricultural Environment: A ReviewOlumuyiwa Idowu Ojo, Masengo Francois IlungaThe study of the climatic elements is vital for sustainable development of agriculture of a region. Particularly, rainfall temporal analyses for trends, fluctuations and periodicities are necessary as such can indirectly furnish the status of an environment. A trend may be quite instructive for different segments of the human and natural systems.
