Purpose: Ecosystem problems are an increasingly complex and serious global problem faced by human beings around the world. More and more production with the use of modern technology to exploit nature continuously resulted in the declining quality of the environment. The core of a green economy is low carbon growth, resource efficiency, and social inclusivity, which have implications for sustainable development, energy management, a green economy in urban areas, as well as green business. This is in accordance with the values in Islamic economics, especially analyzed from the Maqashidal-Shariah point of view. This study intended to give an overview of halal industry management and environment conservation in the view of Maqashid ShariaDesign: This study was a literature study to overview the management of halal industry and environment conservation in the view of Maqashid Sharia.Findings: Economic dissemination with the universal values of Maqashid Sharia (linking environmental issues with aspects of sharia objectives) in fiqh al-bi'ah resulted in a decrease in the passive attitude of the community. The basis of the green economy on the problem of inequality caused by the unequal distribution of green production factors can be overcome based on the principles of al-adl (justice), Maslahah (public interest) and Musawah (equality).Originality/Values: Various obstacles that arise will be overcome because the purpose of Sharia is a concept based on the guidelines set by the Creator.

Low-carbon urbanization is the integration of urbanization and low carbonization. It is the low-carbon transformation of current urban areas, the new trend of developing model of urban and rural areas, which includes the low-carbon transition in production, living style, and ecological spaces, the low-carbon reform in economy, society, structure, and the developing model, as well as changing urban areas from high-carbon style to low-carbon style. The urbanization rate of China is almost the same with global average level, and is expected to reach 80% in 2050. Currently, urbanization replaces industrialization, becoming an important force influencing socio-economic development, climate and ecological environment changes, international relations, and political patterns. With a 2[Formula: see text]C rise in temperature, human beings have to face a series of risks brought by climate change. China’s large-scale urbanization is of great influence on others. In this context, it is necessary to take a scientific cognition of China’s urbanization process, clarifying urbanization developing pathway, turning carbon constraints into carbon bonus, avoiding high-carbon lock, and then to take opportunities in promoting economic structure under “new normal” conditions, accelerating the upgrade from urban civilization to ecological civilization, and to reach both 100-year goal and low-carbon developing goal, leading sustainable development globally.

The purpose of this study is to describe the marginalization experienced by women in Higuchi Ichiyou's short story Nigorie, and the effects it causes. This research focused on marginalization because marginalization is the root of various unfair treatments experienced by women. As a literature study with the feminism approach, data in the form of dialogues, acts, and events related to women in this short story were analyzed based on Lorber’s and Fakih’s theory of gender inequalities, through the point of view of feminist literary criticism. As the result, it is known that the marginalization experienced by women who work in brothels has resulted in other unfair treatments, which in Fakih's opinion can be categorized as gender inequalities. Such unfair treatments are in the form of impoverishment, putting women in a lower position than men, negative labeling, violence, and double workload. Marginalization and various unfair treatments experienced by women in this short story, which gives the impression that the society in this short story doesn’t consider women as human beings in general, are the manifestations of hegemonic patriarchism that is deeply rooted in the life of the Japanese nation.

The excessive air pollution in the Lubuskie Voivodeship and throughout Poland is a very serious problem. One of the main causes of poor air quality is low emission, which arises at a short distance from the ground (up to 40 m). The real reduction of low emission requires a series of measures. The most important of them, include replacement of non-ecological boilers heating single-family buildings, improvement of thermal insulation of outer building walls, development of public transport, limiting the movement of old, non-ecological cars, conducting extensive educational activities, economic support for the poorest families in pro-ecological activities, and development of district heating in urban areas. The issue of thermal modernization is also important from the point of view of ensuring an appropriate level of energy security in the social dimension. The article presents a scenario analysis of activities aimed at reducing low emission through economic support for thermal modernization of single-family houses in the Lubuskie Voivodeship in Poland. The results of the conducted research prove that it is possible to carry out thermal modernization of over 12% of all single-family buildings in the Lubuskie voivodeship, assuming that the co-financing would amount to 60% of the costs of such an investment. The analyses carried out in the article are closely related to low carbon development, and a significant part of emission of harmful substances into the air comes from heating single-family buildings in urban and rural areas.

AbstractGeneral practitioner (GP) care in Germany is characterized by a disparate distribution of GPs, explain Stefan Greß und Klaus Stegmüller. There is considerable oversupply in many urban areas while there is undersupply in many rural regions. Centralized planning of GP capacities so far has not been able to ameliorate this unequal distribution. What is more, several health policy reforms have not been able to make capacity planning more effective. The authors suggest a framework for more effective allocation of GP resources by decentralizing capacity planning to the level of local municipalities.Juergen Zerth refers to the ongoing debate on the adequate distribution of physicians that are obliged to guarantee the overall access to health care in Germany. Especially in rural regions, the number of general practioners will decline in the next years, he states. From a health economics point of view it has to be discussed which role physicians have to play within different forms of organizing care and cure. In the paper, a standardized utility function that depicts physicians’ interest helps to figure out the range in which physicians have an interest to choose an engagement in rural environments contingent of aspects of risk sharing between caretaker und cost payers. In consequence, patient driven care models will enforce new organizational and institutional arrangements of division of labour between medical practitioners as well as new needs to reorganize regional medical facilities.Hans-Joachim Helming presents a possible solution approach to ensure the ambulatory care in economically underdeveloped, rural areas. Some regions of Brandenburg in in the northeast of Germany face a shortage of medical care that is primarily caused by the change of generations, the lack of young people and the little existing infrastructure. In these parts of Brandenburg one also sees the consequences of the demographic change: the population is older, less mobile, and the proportion of multi-morbid patients comparatively increased. In addition, the practicing physicians tend to be older and young doctors are becoming less willing to settle in their own surgery. To cope with these challenges the Regional Associations of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians in Brandenburg (Kassenärztliche Vereinigung Brandenburg) invented the KV RegioMed Program. KV RegioMed is a modular concept with regionally tailored solutions that can be combined as needed. The concept meshes medical and non-medical capacities. Competencies and resources can be bundled by outpatient and inpatient areas and intertwined across different sectors.

Energy is a very important infrastructure / infrastructure / point of view of economic development. Energy plays a major role in the ecological balance of nature, which maintains the interaction between biological and abiotic components of the natural environment. By considering development as mere economic and material development, human beings get involved in indiscriminate exploitation of natural resources by inventing fast-paced technology to compensate for the goal. This is where he makes an error and he starts destroying the environment at the point of development, which leads to many social problems, one of which is energy crisis. The modern era of human history began with the modern technology of production and the demand for energy went on increasing, in the last three or four thousand years, the human society could not use in the last three or four thousand years, many times more modern society used it in only 100 years Due to which the pressure on the sources of limited reserves is increasing, which is the main reason for the energy crisis. Due to not concentrating on non-conventional sources of energy in a timely manner, it is increasing further, so we have to pay special attention to non-conventional sources like solar energy, wind energy, etc. soon. आर्थिक विकास केेेेेेेेेेेेेेेेेे दृ्रष्टिकोण से ऊर्जा एक अत्यन्त महत्वपूर्ण अवस्थापना/इन्फ्रास्ट्रक्चर/ है। प्रकृति के पारिस्थितिक संतुलन में ऊर्जा की मुख्य भूमिका रहती है, जो प्राकृतिक परिवेश के जैविक तथा अजैविक घटकों के मध्य अन्तःक्रिया बनाए रखती है। मनुष्य विकास को मात्र आर्थिक एवं भौतिक विकास मानकर लक्ष्य की प्रतिपूर्ति के लिए तीव्र गति वाली तकनीक का आविष्कार कर प्राकृतिक संसाधनो के अंधाध्ंाुध विदोहन मे जुट जाता है। यहीं उससे त्रुटि हो जाती है और वह विकास के स्षान पर पर्यावरण का विनाश करने लगता है, जिससे अनेक सामाजिक समस्याओं को जन्म होता है, जिसमें से एक है ऊर्जा संकट । उत्पादन की आघुनिक तकनिक के साष मानव इतिहास का आधुनिक युग शुरू हुआ एवं ऊर्जा की मांॅंग बढ़ती चली गई, जितनी ऊर्जा का उपयोग विगत तीन या चार हजार वर्षो में मानव समुदाय नहीं कर पाया था, उससे कई गुना आध्ुनिक समाज ने केवल 100 वर्षो में किया है जिससे सीमित भंडार वाले स्त्रोतों पर दबाव बढ़ता चला जा रहा है जो ऊर्जा संकट का मुख्य कारण है । ऊर्जा के गैर परम्परागत स्त्रोतों पर समय पर घ्यान नहीं देने के कारण यह और बढ़ता जा रहा है अतः हमें शीध्र्र ही गैर परम्परागत स्त्रोत जैसे सौर ऊर्जा, पवन ऊर्जा आदि पर विशेष घ्यान देना होगा ।

İnsanoğlu var olduğundan bu yana sürekli olarak doğal çevre ile etkileşim içerisinde olmuştur. İlk dönemlerde insanlar çevrenin bir parçası olan insan, daha sonra onu kirletir hale gelmiştir. Son zamanlarda çevreyle ilgili artan sorunları giderebilmek için sürdürülebilir kalkınma/gelişme adı altında birçok proje geliştirilmesine rağmen, çalışmaların yetersiz kaldığı gözlenmektedir. Bunun en önemli nedeni ise insan-doğa ilişkilerinin pazar mekanizması içerisinde düzenlenmesi, arazi kullanmada verimlilik-sosyal adalet-çevre korunması üçlüsündeki bilinen çelişkiyi doğurmasıdır. Örneğin, Türkiye’de kentsel alanları şekillendiren 3194 sayılı imar kanunu ile ortak amaçları olan 5393 sayılı Belediye Kanunu’nda, belediyelerin kentsel fiziki kalitenin yüksek değerlerde olmasına yönelik çalışmalar yapması gerektiği vurgulanmıştır. Bu kapsamda günümüzde yoğun gündem konusu olan kentsel dönüşümün vadettiği kentsel çevre ile mevcut olan sosyal-kültürel değişim karşılaştırılmalı olarak ele alınmıştır. Araştırma üç bölümden oluşmaktadır. Birinci bölüm, insan-çevre ilişkilerinin kısa bir tarihi, bu ilişkilerin geliştiği kavramsal çerçeveyi kapsamaktadır. İkinci bölümde, sosyolojik analizlerde ortaya çıkan, insan ve toplum üzerine çevre etmenlerinin etkisinin de vurgulanmaya başlamasını sağlayan geleneksel insan merkezli çevre anlayışından, doğa merkezli çevre anlayışına geçiş süreci üzerinde durulmuştur. Üçüncü bölümde ise, kamuoyunda çokça konuşulan kentsel dönüşüm projelerinin, çevreye duyarlı bir medeniyet inşası sürecinde, merkezi idare ve yerel idarelerin insanların en büyük tüketim mekânı olan kentsel alan yapılanmalarıyla birlikte ekonomik kalkınma modellerinde göz ardı edilen ve kayıp halka olarak tanımladığımız çevre ve toplum ilişkisi analiz edilmiştir. Böylelikle tüketim toplumlarında kentsel dönüşüm projelerinin yaratmış olduğu sosyal değişim süreci ortaya konularak, sağlıklı, uzun vadeli, başarılı sürdürülebilir bir çevre modelinin gelişmesi için gerekli olan faktörlerin kurumsal ve teorik alt yapısı oluşturulmuştur. A Sociological Analysis of the Urban Transformation Projects and the Perception of the Environment and Society in the Consumption Societies Since his creation, human beings have always been in interaction with the natural environment. This has been a direct result of the life activities as human being was a part of the ecosystem in the first ages. However, constantly increasing population, together with developing technology, has caused changes within the ecosystem. The mentioned fact which needs to be considered in the human and nature relations brings out the problem of how the nonrenewable and unenrichable soil and its complementary parts, namely air, water and plants will take form, or rather should be formed as balanced. Although numerous projects titled 'sustainable development’ have recently been developed to solve the grooving problems concerning the environment, these works are seen insufficient. The most important reason for this situation is the fact that the human-nature relations are organized within the marketing system and thus they lead to well-known contradiction regarding the trio of productivity, social justice and environmental protection in the use of land. For example; in Turkey, the Building Law Code 3194 and the Municipality Law Code 5393, both aiming to form the urban areas, emphasize that the municipalities have to work to upgrade the physical quality of the cities. In this regard, this study deals with the urban environment which 'the urban transformation project’ vows and the current socio-cultural change in comparison with each other. Moving from that point, the study has examined numerous studies, about the urban transformation and its environmental problems through a sociological point of view. By this study, the social transformation process created by the urban transformation projects in the consumption societies is presented.

Summary Objectives: Presently, the protein interaction information concerning different signaling pathways is available in a qualitative manner in different online protein interaction databases. The challenge here is to derive a quantitative way of modeling signaling pathways from qualitative way of modeling signaling pathways from a qualitative level. To address this issue we developed a database that includes mathematical modeling knowledge and biological knowledge about different signaling pathways. Methods: The database is part of an integrative environment that includes environments for pathway design, visualization, simulation and a knowledge base that combines biological and modeling information concerning pathways. The system is designed as a client-server architecture. It contains a pathway designing environment and a simulation environment as upper layers with a relational knowledge base as the underlying layer. Results: DMSP – Database for Modeling Signaling Pathways incorporates biological datasets from online databases like BIND, DIP, PIP, and SPiD. The modeling knowledge that has been incorporated is based on a literature study. Pathway models can be designed, visualized and simulated based on the knowledge stored in the DMSP. The user can download the whole dataset and build pathway models using the knowledge stored in our database. As an example, the TNF? pathway model was implemented and tested using this approach. Conclusion: DMSP is an initial step towards the aim of combining modeling and biological knowledge concerning signaling pathways. It helps in understanding pathways in a qualitative manner from a qualitative level. Simulation results enable the interpretation of a biological system from a quantitative and systemtheoretic point of view.

Waste Water Management

In Austria approximately 70% of the population is connected to sewerage and to biological waste water treatment plants. Whereas the urban areas are already provided with these facilities to a very high extent, effort is still needed in rural areas to meet the requirements of the Austrian legislation. The way, this task should be solved has provoked much controversy. It is mainly the question, whether centralised or decentralised sewage disposal systems are preferable from the ecological and economical point of view, that became a political issue during the last 5 years. The Institute for Water Quality and Waste Management was asked to elaborate a waste water management concept for the Lainsitz River Basin, a mainly rural area in the north of Austria discharging to the Elbe river. Both ecological and economical aspects should be considered. This paper presents the methodology that was applied and the criteria which were decisive for the selection of the final solution.
