Zero Waste Technologies and Solution of Economic and Environmental Problems of Sustainable Development

Economic and environmental problems are closely related, and solving some of them, the others cannot be solved. The state of the environment directly forms the potential of the economic sphere. For example, resources for industrial enterprises are formed in the natural environment, and the capacity of plants and factories depends on resources’ quantity. The amount of money to be spent on the purchase and installation of treatment plants, on the measures to eliminate water, air and soil pollution, depends upon the profit. Each country has its own list of environmental problems related to the economy. They are engaged in their elimination at the state level, but first of all the responsibility for the consequences is the burden of companies’ management. The active development of the economy should not adversely affect the state of the environment. Both individual enterprises and whole states should control the economic and environmental situation in order to achieve a balance and solve global problems. The most important form of interaction between the state and business in solving economic-and-environmental problems is the introduction of zero waste technologies in all their diversity and achieving their multiplicative effect. The paper shows the relationship between environmentally-oriented innovative development of the economy and the introduction of zero waste technologies.

Abstract Environmentalists and scientists who study the environment often give a pretty bleak picture of the future. Surveys of secular views on the environment suggest that the general public in the developed West are concerned about the state of the environment. After considering all of the environmental problems that are causing scientists to worry, this paper then concentrates on four: climate change; biodiversity loss; global water supply; and the increase in our human population. Finally we will see what scientists have to say about hope in a time of environmental crisis

Abstract Objective: To understand the different Na menu labelling approaches that have been considered by state and local policymakers in the USA and to summarise the evidence on the relationship between Na menu labelling and Na content of menu items offered by restaurants or purchased by consumers. Design: Proposed and enacted Na menu labelling laws at the state and local levels were reviewed using legal databases and an online search, and a narrative review of peer-reviewed literature was conducted on the relationship between Na menu labelling and Na content of menu items offered by restaurants or purchased by consumers. Setting: Local and state jurisdictions in the USA Participants: Not applicable. Results: Between 2000 and 2020, thirty-eight laws – eleven at the local level and twenty-seven at the state level – were proposed to require Na labelling of restaurant menu items. By 2020, eight laws were enacted requiring chain restaurants to label the Na content of menu items. Five studies were identified that evaluated the impact of Na menu labelling on Na content of menu items offered by restaurants or purchased by consumers in the USA. The studies had mixed results: two studies showed a statistically significant association between Na menu labelling and reduced Na content of menu items; three showed no effects. Conclusion: Data suggest that Na menu labelling may reduce Na in restaurant menu items, but further rigorous research evaluating Na menu labelling effects on Na content of menu items, as well as on the Na content in menu items purchased by consumers, is needed.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of corruption on stock returns in the USA. In particular, this study examines the relationship between corruption in a state (i.e. local corruption) and stock returns of firms headquartered in that state (i.e. local returns). Design/methodology/approach This paper uses the Fama–MacBeth two-step regressions. In the first step, the authors estimate the coefficients on the market, size, value and momentum factors for individual stocks. In the second step, they use those coefficients along with the corruption score of the state where stocks are headquartered to explain stock returns. Findings This paper finds that corruption in a state adversely affects stock returns of firms headquartered in that state. It further documents that the effect of corruption on stock returns is limited to geographically concentrated firms. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this paper is the first to document the effect of state-level corruption on individual stock returns in the USA using the Fama–MacBeth regressions. This study contributes to the literature by documenting the effect of local corruption on local stock returns in a low corruption country.

DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5007/1980-0037.2016v18n6p648 To improve the combat sports training processes, the knowledge of effort:pause (E:P) ratio and of the high intensity:low intensity (HI:LI) relationship may be useful. However, no studies have investigated these aspects in taekwondo (TKD) official matches from different levels. The aim of this study was to analyze and compare the temporal structure of TKD combat matches at regional and state-level events. Thirty-four combat matches involving male TKD black belt athletes were analyzed. The athletes took part in two separate championships according to their level of competitiveness. Non-parametric distributions were identified in all variables, and the median was used as centrality and the interquartile range (25%-75%) for dispersion. The analysis of non-parametric variance, Kruskal-Wallis, with Dunn post-hoc, was used for comparisons between variables within the same competitive level and Mann-Whitney test between them. The significance level was 5%. On both levels, approximately 50% of combat time (51.3% and 50.8% in state and regional, respectively) was aimed at low-intensity activities in an observation mode; 12% of the time was devoted to preparation actions; and 36% represented high-intensity activity. It was also noted that the relationship of E:P at the state level was 1:8; at the regional level, it was 1:4. The relationship of HI:LI was 1:3 in the state and regional levels. It was observed that there is a difference in the E:P relationship during TKD competitions among different competitive levels. These findings can assist coaches and trainers in developing suitable, specific training processes according to TKD competition level.

The Relationship

In this article, we examine the special challenges posed by the practice of polygamy to minority women, focusing on the ways that the state and the women confront the related experiences of violence and trauma associated with this practice. Based on analysis of both policy and interviews with women, we demonstrate the tension between the different mechanisms adopted by the state as opposed to those adopted by the women themselves. We suggest that the concept of ontological security is valuable for a deeper understanding of the range of state motivations in cases related to minority women, violence, and the right for protection. Our case study is the Bedouin community in Israel. We explore the relationship between individual and state-level conceptions of violence and trauma and the complex relationship between these two. We examine state discourses of ontological security through a gendered lens, as frameworks of belonging and mechanisms of exclusion.

In the urban environment, the main sources of pollutants entering the atmosphere are industrial enterprises and vehicles, which leads to a significant change in the composition of the air. Various monitoring methods are used to analyze the state of the atmospheric air. On their basis, methods have been developed to monitor the state of the natural environment of the technosphere. Most often, gas analyzers and various chemical methods for determining aerosol pollution are used. The creation of a methodology that makes it possible to quickly and efficiently assess the state of the environment is urgent. The described method of rapid assessment of the state of atmospheric air by bioindication and biotesting of dendroforms makes it possible not only to quickly and qualitatively assess the quality of atmospheric air, but also to take appropriate environmental measures in a timely manner. The developed rapid assessment includes several stages of the assessment of the objects under study, carried out depending on the goals of the study. To test the methodology, the objects of the study were the most anthropogenically loaded public green spaces (PGS) - public gardens of Sevastopol, located in different administrative districts of the city. The obtained results showed the possibility of using the developed methodology both in stages and in a complex manner.
