Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 628.44
This book presents reviews, examples and case studies of innovative applications in solid and hazardous waste management. The economics of waste management have since become a significant research area in their own right, and two chapters address these issues. In addition, dedicated chapters cover specific categories of waste such as biomedical and institutional waste, plastics and e-waste. The book subsequently discusses newer analytical methods like SEM, EDX, XRD and optical microscopy, along with selected "older" methods for sampling and characterizing different types of waste. The various applications of mathematical tools like linear optimization, various software/models like WISCLeach, and DRASTIC, and tools like remote sensing and GIS are illustrated in many of the chapters. Lastly, since composting is one of the most popular treatment methods for managing the organic component of municipal solid waste, the book provides an overview of composting and the fundamentals of microbiology that are essential to understanding waste-related biological processes. The book was primarily written for students and practitioners in the field who are already familiar with the basics. All chapters were prepared by practicing experts and scholars in the field, and are intended to help readers better understand and apply these principles and practices in their own endeavours. Key topics covered in the book: • The circular economy and the economics of solid waste management • Various remote sensing and GIS applications for managing municipal solid waste, coal fires in mines, changes in land use and land cover in industrial areas, etc. • Treatment and management of different types of solid waste: institutional (including biomedical), residential, e-waste, plastic, and ash from thermal power plants • Sampling and characterization of municipal waste and compost • Fundamentals of microbiology • Overview of environmental regulations, especially those pertaining to solid and hazardous waste management.

Khảo sát về một số vấn đề xã hội được sinh viên Việt Nam quan tâm hiện nay / Lê Anh Vũ // Giáo dục Thành phố Hồ Chí Minh . - 2024-1. - tr. 54-58. - ISSN: Job security



Ký hiệu phân loại (DDC): 306.0971
Students are widely recognized as a crucial demographic for the development of a nation. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of comprehensive studies examining social issues that are of concern to students. This paper aims to contribute to bridging this research gap. Our research employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative analysis methods, conducted at a national level. The findings of the research indicate a significant level of interest among Vietnamese students in social issues that directly pertain to their own circumstances. These issues encompass concerns over “job security,” “natural disasters and epidemics,” “environmental pollution,” as well as the impact of social networks. Based on the findings of this research, it is recommended that the university and associated organizations establish platforms for students to articulate their perspectives on matters that are of relevance to them to subsequently advocate for the active involvement of students in addressing contemporary social problems.
