Indoor And Outdoor

In the industrial sectors, the ways of release pollutants into the atmosphere can vary significantly. We can find various combinations of primary conveyed emissions, secondary conveyed releases, diffused emissions, depending on the characteristics of the industrial plant. When an environmental impact assessment is performed, discussion concerns mainly the impact on the public health, whilst the occupational impact of these releases is moved to other contexts. The present paper zooms on selected case studies in order to understand the consequences of different way of pollutant release on the outdoor and indoor air quality at the site of the plant (within the fence). Two kinds of pollutants were selected: particulate matter and odoriferous substances. Results demonstrate that the industrial sector is unbalanced: the regulations in force in EU give different attention to the impact of the releases to the atmosphere depending on the industrial sector. In particular, in some sectors the impact of diffused emissions is underestimated because of a raw management of their control. Some preliminary proposals are put forwards for a better management of the emissions to the atmosphere in potentially critical cases. These proposals are based on the concept that conveyed solutions for pollutant release must be preferred, with the care of designing the related stacks with an optimised combination of stack height, conveyed gas velocity, temperature at the exit. The opposition to this approach is basically related to the additional costs. This article demonstrate that these extra-costs are due in many cases. Their economic sustainability is discussed too.

The Impact

This paper using data of China's Industrial Sector in 1996 -2010, selecting the stochastic frontier production function model, estimating the rate of change of total factor productivity in various industries, gets the level of technological progress in various industries. On this basis, domestic and foreign investment in 1996 -2010 data, were used based on the panel data model to study the impact of the level of domestic and foreign investment in industrial sectors of technological progress. The empirical results show that the industrial technological progress in the vast majority of the industry comes from domestic investment or foreign investment, the individual industry even at the same time by the dual effects of domestic and foreign investment, When the industry is characterized by high degree of market competition and foreign investment to domestic investment proportion is higher, technological progress is more inclined to come from domestic investment, the contrary is more inclined to come from foreign investment.

O objetivo deste artigo é o de apresentar uma contribuição preliminar para a discussão dos principais aspectos socioambientais a serem considerados na construção de indicadores de sustentabilidade energética. A importância do estudo reside na possibilidade de levantamento de subsídios à tomada de decisão no ambiente público do segmento de energia. A metodologia possui natureza teórica e realiza uma visitação na literatura especializada, de modo a criar condições de exame dos meandros sociais e ambientais para a composição de indicadores de sustentabilidade energética. Os aspectos sociais e ambientais, a partir de variáveis pertinentes à energia elétrica e ao desenvolvimento, foram mensurados por Borges (2007), por meio do coeficiente de Pearson. O estudo concluiu que a elaboração de indicadores de sustentabilidade energética para o setor industrial no Pará recomenda a observância do perfil de consumo energético das indústrias, que apresentou evoluções proporcionais quando associado à emissão de gases poluentes e atenção quanto ao perfil do saldo de empregos, que não indica estar associado diretamente ao comportamento dos investimentos em eletricidade no setor analisado.   ENERGY INDICATORS FOR THE INDUSTRY SECTOR: A PRELIMINARY CONTRIBUTION TO THE DISCUSSION OF SOCIO-ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS IN PARÁ   ABSTRACT The purpose of this article is to present a preliminary contribution to the discussion of the main socio-environmental aspects to be considered in the construction of energy sustainability indicators. The importance of the study lies in the possibility of raising subsidies for decision-making in the public environment of the energy sector. The methodology comprises theoretical nature and carries out a visit to the specialized literature, aiming at creating conditions for examining the social and environmental intricacies for the composition of energy sustainability indicators. The social and environmental aspects, based on relevant electricity and development variables, were measured by Borges (2007), using the Pearson correlation coefficient. The study concluded that the elaboration of energy sustainability indicators for the industrial sector in Pará suggests the observance of the energy consumption profile of the industries, which presented proportional evolution when associated with polluting gases emission, and attention to the impact on employment, which does not suggest being associated with the electricity investment behavior in the analyzed sector.   Keywords: Industry.

The Impact

This study looked at the impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on the revenues of small businesses operating in industrial sectors and at the extent to which these businesses changed or adjusted their business activity, or changed the extent to which they utilized open innovation tools and implement innovation promotion processes. The findings show that, despite COVID-19’s far-reaching impact in all areas of life, the revenues of most small businesses in industrial sector were not adversely affected by the pandemic, and most of them did not change or adjust their business activities or the extent to which they employed open innovation tools and engage in innovation promotion processes. The findings also indicate that small businesses, most of whose revenues derive from subcontracting work to other businesses business to business (B2B) and from long-term agreements, are likely to cope better during periods of economic difficulty and under conditions of economic uncertainty. The findings also show that businesses that are active in the international markets have succeeded in adapting that activity to the changing demands and various trade restrictions. This study’s theoretical contribution lies in its focus on small businesses in the industrial sector and its examination of how the subcontracting strategy and international operations help such businesses contend with problems and conditions of economic uncertainty. On the practical plane, the findings suggest that policymakers should foster programmes that assist small businesses with these work strategies, which can help them survive, enhance their stability and thereby also promote the economy’s ability to withstand crisis situations

This paper presents a review of the conservatism approaches applied by different industrial sectors to the stress-life (S-N) analysis of ‘life-limited’ or ‘safe-life’ components. A comparison of the fatigue design standards for 6 industrial sectors identified that the conservatism approaches are highly inconsistent when comparing the areas of variability and uncertainty accounted for along with the conservatism magnitude and method of application. Through the use of a case-study based on the SAE keyhole benchmark and 4340 steel S-N data, the industrial sector which introduces the greatest reduction of a component life-limit was identified as the nuclear sector. The results of the case-study also highlighted that conservatism applied to account for scatter in S-N data currently provides the greatest contribution to the reduction of component life-limits.

The Impact

The technological lock-in of the transportation and industrial sector can be largely attributed to the limited availability of alternative fuel infrastructures. Herein, a countrywide supply chain analysis of Germany, spanning until 2050, is applied to investigate promising infrastructure development pathways and associated hydrogen distribution costs for each analyzed hydrogen market. Analyzed supply chain pathways include seasonal storage to balance fluctuating renewable power generation with necessary purification, as well as trailer- and pipeline-based hydrogen delivery. The analysis encompasses green hydrogen feedstock in the chemical industry and fuel cell-based mobility applications, such as local buses, non-electrified regional trains, material handling vehicles, and trucks, as well as passenger cars. Our results indicate that the utilization of low-cost, long-term storage and improved refueling station utilization have the highest impact during the market introduction phase. We find that public transport and captive fleets offer a cost-efficient countrywide renewable hydrogen supply roll-out option. Furthermore, we show that, at comparable effective carbon tax resulting from the current energy tax rates in Germany, hydrogen is cost-competitive in the transportation sector by the year 2025. Moreover, we show that sector-specific CO2 taxes are required to provide a cost-competitive green hydrogen supply in both the transportation and industrial sectors.

The Impact

An initial public offering (IPO) refers to the process of offering shares of a private corporation to the public in a new stock issuance. An IPO allows a company to raise capital from public investors. This study aims to prove the sectoral impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. Qualitative identification through content analysis on public online media and report documents on the results of analysis by research institutes and consultants identifies potential negative impacts on several industrial sectors as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic throughout 2020, but on the other hand, IPO action on the Indonesian capital market in 2020 still ongoing. Previous research has not been found specifically that analyzes the relationship between the impact of Covid-19 on industry and the performance of IPO actions per industrial sector, then through the IPO under-pricing phenomenon approach, empirical evidence is carried out. This research uses secondary data for the initial returns of 315 companies that conducted IPO actions during the period 2010 to 2020 on the Indonesian capital market and testing using a paired sample test on the population of IPO actions before and during the Covid-19 pandemic, the results of this study indicate that simultaneously in all the corporate sector did not find any statistically significant difference in initial returns between the period before and during the pandemic. This shows that the Covid-19 pandemic does not directly impact the behavior of capital market investors, especially in making investment decisions in the primary market.

Brand image is the existence of characteristic of a number of associations leading to unity of meaning, which ultimately determines general consumer reaction in providing assessments or responses to a brand. The marketing communication efforts by the company may be able to present a flexible technique in shaping consumer perceptions towards products and services offered to consumers and to help create image and attributes for users. From the eyes of the public as consumers, brand image is developed gradually, starting from the first appearance of the brand in the wider community, known, and perceived by the public. The industrial sector as users of academic products shall be more selective in their choices. One consideration to be taken into factor is that of an alumnus of a university with a trusted reputation. In this case, Binus University has an image as one of the leading private university in Jakarta. This study analyzes the brand image of Binus University for the industrial sector, related associations Binus University and how much is the spread of influence in order to get the picture of  quality and popularity of Binus University in the minds of the industrial sectors.
