Abstract

This book depicts the results of a research project in northern China, where an international and interdisciplinary team of researchers from Italy, Germany and China has applied a broad range of methodology in order to answer basic and applied research questions and derive comprehensive recommendations for sustainable water management and wetland restoration. The project primarily focused on ecosystem services, e.g. the purification of water and biomass production. In particular, the ecosystem function and use of reed (Phragmites australis) and the perception as well as the value of water as a resource for Central Asia's multicultural societies was analysed.

Abstract

In the domain of electronic navigation, satellite navigation (GNSS) is one of the most important complex modern systems. GNSS is a key aspect of infrastructure which supports the development and improvement of power grid systems, banking operations, global transportation systems, and global communication systems. Today, GNSS requires the use of several positioning networks and sensors, such as radio networks and MEMS. The Earth's atmosphere, particularly the ionosphere and troposphere, can be seen as a huge laboratory where multiple processes and phenomena directly affecting the propagation of EM waves occur. Like all complex systems, GNSS technology has also gone through certain evolutionary stages. Factors affecting the future evolution of GNSS technology include the appearance of new signals and frequencies, complementary technologies in use, etc., but in the domain of GNSS technologies, it is essential to study the impact of space weather on GNSS systems. A key part of research related to GNSS technologies is the vertical TEC distribution and anomalies related to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions on Earth. There are many challenges that need to be addressed because they affect reliability, accuracy, and all other essential parameters of GNSS systems. It addresses some of these issues by publishing manuscripts which study GNSS risk assessment, different effects of space weather disturbances on the operation of GNSS systems, environmental impacts on the operation of GNSS systems, GNSS positioning error budgets, TEC special features in volcano eruptions, and similar topics.

Abstract

Eine Ausbildung meistern, am Erwerbsleben teilnehmen: Das ist angesichts psychischer Belastungen sehr herausfordernd. Und auch für die begleitenden Pädagoginnen und Pädagogen erwächst aus den vielfältigen Symptomatiken die Aufgabe, Unterstützungsmaßnahmen individuell zu gestalten. In dem interdisziplinär angelegten Band wird psychische Belastung erstmals als Querschnittsphänomen aus unterschiedlichen Fachperspektiven betrachtet. Autorinnen und Autoren aus Berufspädagogik, Sonderpädagogik, Sozialpädagogik, Psychologie und Sozialpsychiatrie diskutieren die nachschulischen beruflichen Bildungsprozesse und Unterstützungsangebote zur Teilhabe am Erwerbsleben. Auf Basis einer theoretischen Grundlegung wird das Phänomen der psychischen Belastung aus Sicht verschiedener Professionen beleuchtet. Anschließend werden die verschiedenen berufsbiografischen Etappen im Kontext psychischer Belastungen beschrieben. Dazu gehören Fördereinrichtungen, Übergangsysteme, Ausbildungsmöglichkeiten, Rehabilitationsmaßnahmen und Beratungsangebote. Wie das Bildungspersonal den Umgang mit psychisch belasteten Jugendlichen erlebt, wird in einem eigenen Kapitel untersucht.

Abstract

One Health, « Une seule santé », est une stratégie mondiale visant à développer les collaborations interdisciplinaires pour la santé humaine, animale et environnementale. Elle promeut une approche intégrée, systémique et unifiée de la santé aux échelles locale, nationale et mondiale, afin de mieux affronter les maladies émergentes à risque pandémique, mais aussi s'adapter aux impacts environnementaux présents et futurs. Bien que ce mouvement s’étende, la littérature en français reste rare. Traduit de l’anglais, coordonné par d’éminents épidémiologistes et s'appuyant sur un large panel d' approches scientifiques rarement réunies autour de la santé, cet ouvrage retrace les origines du concept et présente un contenu pratique sur les outils méthodologiques, la collecte de données, les techniques de surveillance et les plans d’étude. Il combine recherche et pratique en un seul volume et constitue un ouvrage de référence unique pour la santé mondiale.

Abstract

L’eau est un enjeu majeur dans de nombreuses régions du monde du fait de besoins en forte croissance, mais aussi de la rareté et de la dégradation des ressources disponibles. L’agriculture étant le premier usager de la ressource en eau, la durabilité de la gestion de l’eau en milieu rural est cruciale. Elle nécessite de dépasser les approches sectorielles, encore largement en cours malgré divers courants appelant à une gestion intégrée, territoriale ou adaptative de la ressource. Prenant acte que la mise en œuvre des concepts proposés par ces différents courants est rarement effective et qu’il est plus pragmatique de rechercher la meilleure coordination possible entre les parties prenantes de la gestion de l’eau, cet ouvrage collectif analyse les enjeux, outils et démarches permettant de faciliter et d’accompagner cette coordination. En effet, une coordination effective et acceptée nécessite des méthodes et outils pour informer sur l’état de la ressource et des usages, rendre visible l’importance des enjeux, évaluer les effets et les expliquer, structurer les échanges, et élaborer et discuter des actions de gestion. L’ouvrage aborde la gestion de l’eau en milieu rural en termes d’objectifs et de démarche, puis fait un panorama large des outils, des méthodes et des données actuellement disponibles. Enfin, il décrit des exemples de mises en œuvre dans différents cas d’étude. Cet ouvrage de synthèse s’adresse à un public large allant des chercheurs, étudiants et enseignants en gestion de l’eau aux professionnels concernés par sa mise en œuvre.
