Although collaborative networks (CN) are widespread in academia and have come to be even more used in corporations all over the world, they still face several challenges on behalf of the new product development (NPD) context, especially in regard to the selection of the CN’s right partner. This becomes even more evident when it comes to promoting sustainable development goals within a CN’s activities, by selecting the right partners with a wide consensus from a CN’s management board, avoiding, therefore, the subjectivity around managers’ perception of a CN’s partner selection. Therefore, this work attempts to answer this problem, by presenting a soft-computing-based framework, to support the managers’ board on partner search and selection. The method presented here is further assessed by using a case study, based on the development of a green product, where, according to the obtained results, it is demonstrated that the proposed approach is extremely effective for partner selection, by assessing and prioritizing each candidate involved. The most suitable candidate that fulfills the CN’s requirements is then selected to be integrated as a future partner.

Abstract: Background The major cause of disease and even human death are bacteria. Disinfectant is widely used in various ways as an effective agent to kill or eliminate bacteria, especially in the microbial laboratory. The most commonly used disinfectants in the laboratory are ethanol, bleach, and hand soap. This study assessed the effect of the common cleaning agents against bacteria. Methodology It was an experimental study on disinfectant efficacy of ethanol, bleach, and antibacterial handwashing soap on surface disinfection. Sampling was carried out between April and June of 2017. The samples were collected from our lady of Consolata kisubi hospital which is located on Nkima Road- Kisubi, Wakiso, Uganda. The samples collected were obtained from the hospital surfaces like door handles, beds, random floors, toilets, and work surfaces before and after cleaning. Results 64 samples were collected from 32 sites. The selected nosocomial organism in the study included E.coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Among the selected disinfectants, ethanol was the most effective against the available selected nosocomial organisms. Conclusion Bacteria is present on so many surfaces of the hospital, and the selection of appropriate cleaning agents is vital to achieve maximum cleaning. Bleach and liquid soap should not be used in combination if cleaning different surfaces in the hospital due to the effects of the inorganic compounds that might be present in the liquid soap that inactivates active ingredients used present in the Bleach. Recommendation The hospital should come up with a minimum inhibitory concentration of the disinfectants that is effective to be used. The support staff in charge of cleaning should be trained on the right way of cleaning and disinfecting.

This chapter discusses the importance of politics to the relationship between human rights and development. It describes the two major ways in which human rights struggles have focused on development processes in the last two decades: the right to development, the struggles of poor countries for a better deal in the global economic system; and the human rights-based approach to development, the struggles of poor people for development to realize their rights. The chapter first considers the links between human rights, politics, and development before analysing the concepts and debates surrounding the right to development and the human rights-based approach to development. It then presents a case study on the Millennium Development Goals and the successor, Sustainable Development Goals, to illustrate how human rights principles are raised in contemporary debates on development priorities.

The unprecedented growth of air traffic during the early years of industrial and economic reform in India led to the government’s decision to open Indian airspace to private and international operators. During this period, inadequate infrastructure and management’s inability to expand had created congestion in most of the airports. The urgent requirements for modernization and expansion with limited funds left the government in the dilemma of selecting the right kind of inter-organizational collaboration. After much deliberation and consideration, the government considered adopting the public-private partnership model. Without any prior experience and executional history, selection of partners was the key challenge before the government. The case summarizes one of the most significant public-private partnership projects in India and provides managerial insights into partner selection and execution challenges of large infrastructural projects typical to many developing countries.

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) promote a broad set of socio-economic and environmental goals. Through a case study on Malaysia, this paper investigates how economic Goal 8 (economic growth), Goal 9 (industry), and Goal 17(increased partnerships) are likely to conflict with environmental Goal 13 (climate action), Goal 14 (life below water), and Goal 15 (life on land). We analyze data from Economy-Wide Material Flows Analysis (EW-MFA) that captures Malaysia’s aggregate resource use over time and also assess the likely economic and environmental contradictions for Malaysia’s future trajectory by looking at major drivers of Malaysia’s economic growth. Using policy-scoring, we provide a detailed analysis of how the various sectors of growth are likely to result in synergies or trade-offs with the environmental SDGs. We find substantial contradictions between the economic and environmental SDGs for Malaysia. Our paper questions whether or not, when examining a concrete case study, economic and environmental SDGs are compatible.

Since the promotion of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), some programs have been conducted to increase environmental awareness and concern. To meet the goals, it requires substantial efforts by all stakeholders in society. However, to our knowledge, there is still a limited number of academics whose research is focused on communicating environmental awareness to the public. While organizing communication about SDGs has faced challenges and new concerns, such as skepticism towards sustainability issues, rural and environmental issues seem to be the main agenda of development (Murphy, 2012). Thus, implementing the right communication methods is fundamental to delivering information to navigate the public's environmental orientation (Genç, 2017). Urban waste management in Indonesia still faces many obstacles, especially in terms of landfill existence. Only 60-70% of wastes can be transported and disposed in sanitary landfills (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2018). It creates so much waste, particularly related to food waste, over-packaging, and e-waste, all causing particular problems (Zaman and Lehmann, 2011). Limited natural resources force people to think hard about how to save existing natural resources.Teras Hijau Project (THP) was established out of a growing concern with the situation of the city of Bandung, Indonesia, especially in responding and improving themselves to be more sustainable. It is inspired by the Bio-Economic Initiative of European Union countries, which applies a "Circular Economy" as a basis of Regional Development.
