New energy vehicles are becoming the future of auto industry and acquire considerable significance in many fields including energy conservation, CO2 emission reduction, environmental protection, oil dependence reduction, cultivation of new economic growth point, etc.. Based on international comparison and investigation to China’s two major auto industry bases----Changchun and Hubei, this paper discusses and analyzes, from economic point of view, the world new energy vehicle development and its experiences to China. Compares China’s new energy vehicle policies with relevant US policies. Analyzes the success of Belgian high tech and green plastic auto development. Illustrates, from consumers’ and companies’ view respectively, influence of China’s policies to the new energy vehicle development. Finally, summarizes the characteristics of China’s development, studies problems existing, and puts forward certain constructive suggestions.

Abstract This article contends that practices of, and reflections on, global governance are diversifying without any particular teleology. Therefore, it proposes a “postgovernance” perspective to capture and make sense of the multiplicity of concurrent developments. Just like post-punk followed punk rock and provided new energy, postgovernance provides opportunities to revitalize debates on world politics. Postgovernance allows both scholars and practitioners to consider the persistence of “traditional” forms of global governance as well as the simultaneous emergence of new approaches. This article thus proposes postgovernance as a mode of world politics in a postparadigmatic world that is dynamic yet inconsistent. We advance this argument by outlining what postgovernance entails, by taking stock of current debates from a postgovernance perspective, and by discussing how these can be advanced from a postgovernance point of view.

Ladders are the ascent system most commonly used to scale up a building, due to the low initial costs compared to other ascent equipment. The insufficiency of this approach is shown in an economic comparison of ladders, stair towers, and scaffoldings with integrated ascent support. Based on empirical studies, cost data and the current state of scientific knowledge, the ascent support with the highest economic value can be determined by considering safety, cost, time, stress, physical stress and strain, and frequency of use. A survey evaluated vertical transport routes, the ascent systems ladders, stair towers, and scaffoldings with integrated ladders. The findings indicate that from an economic point of view, ladders should be used only on construction sites where less than 54 ascents were performed each day. This leads to the assumption that for typical construction sites, with at least 6 ascents per person per day and a site usage for a period longer than one week, the operation of ladders is uneconomical.

At present, the development of new energy industry has the great significance in optimizing the energy structure and energy security and increasing energy supply in China. In the new energy industry development process existing obvious external effectiveness, make the competition market resources allocation efficiency losses, resulting in deviating from the Pareto optimal state that cause "market failure". According to the general principles that externalities cause resource allocation misconduct eliminate, from an economic point of view that this article point out that the decrease of the cost of production and the increased output efficiency could play the same role in resource allocation efficiency improvements, and through government intervention to make the necessary corrections to optimize the allocation of resources to ensure the development of new energy industries.

Fire resistance of building structures is important not only in terms of prevention of hazards to human health, but also from the economic point of view. The choice of method of fire protection of steel structures depends on the responsible choice of finish or cladding material and suitable technology implementation. Although the assessment of fire risk is a priority, when selecting the decisive criteria we must not also forget the cost of fire protection measures. This article aims at economic comparison of the two fire protection measures for the steel column of rolled profiles.

The Banking system in India and all over the world is based on the interest system. Interest bearing money is almost like the law of nature where money generates money. However, an alternative banking system called Islamic banking which prohibits charging of interest and is based on profit/loss sharing system became popular in many countries. Global Islamic banking assets attained compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of around 17% from 2009 to 2013 according to the World Islamic Banking Competitiveness Report 2014-2015. The Indian Banking system has undergone many changes in the recent past with deregulation of banking system paving way for new banks in India. However, Islamic banking which has emerged as a global phenomenon lately has not evolved as a full-fledged system in India though is it operative through the NBFC route. The research paper tries to explain the concept of Islamic banking and discusses the various financial products offered by the Islamic banks. It weighs the various pros and cons of Islamic banking in India. SWOT analysis and Porter’s Five Forces Model are used to provide a thorough analysis of feasibility and scope of Islamic banking in India. The paper reveals that India has a great potential for Islamic banking provided necessary changes in the regulations and guidelines are made to evolve it has an alternative system of banking. The law makers should view it from  an economic point of view rather than a religious view for its successful implementation and  for the welfare and upliftment of financially excluded sections of society that do not participate in conventional banking due to their religious beliefs.


The maximum output of the solar receiver is achieved when the solar receiver is perpendicular to the Sun's rays. Different attempts were made for making the solar receiver utilizing the maximum portion of incident solar radiation. The use of a dual-axis sun tracker versus a fixed-flat position is evidently profitable, but from economic point of view it is questionable. A mathematical conception has been developed and applied in this chapter to determine the energy gain resulted from different installations of PV systems. The experimental measurements and the model results show that, it is not economical to track the sun in hot and sunny regions because of the overheating effect on the PV panels' performance. The provided data, in literature, compare the performance of dual or single axis tracking with fixed solar receiver even the long term solar tracking is possible and effective with a negligible increase of the price of the unit of useful energy. This can be achieved by choosing the best monthly or even seasonally optimum tilts. The introduced concept of energy gain, see chapter 3, is calculated in this chapter all over the world and it was found that it is very useful in evaluating the performance of different types of tracking. This concept allows to evaluate the effectiveness of daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, seasonally, biannually and yearly adjustment of the solar receiver tilt angle in relation with the ideal instantaneous dual tracking.

Zoonoses caused by diverse etiological agents, are important from public health and economic point of view, and are reported in humans and animals from developing and developed nations of the world. Cryptosporidiosis is an emerging food and waterborne zoonotic protozoan disease that has been detected in both human and animal populations all over the world. The source of infection is exogenous, and the ingestion of contaminated food and water is the principal mode of transmission. The oocysts of Cryptosporidium are abundant and pervasive in ambient water, where they can survive for months. It prefers epithelial cells found in the digestive tracts of a wide range of hosts. Waterborne transmission through drinking water or a swimming pool is common, resulting in outbreaks in several nations throughout the world. The disease can manifest itself in sporadic or epidemic forms. The infection has been recorded in immunocompetent and immunocompromised individuals. The watery diarrhea, abdominal cramps, nausea, anorexia and low grade fever are most commonly observed symptoms. The laboratory help is required to make an unequivocal diagnosis of disease. The preventive strategies include excellent hygienic measures to avoid the contamination of food and water by oocysts of Cryptosporidium. In addition, the role of veterinarian is highly imperative for the management of disease in domestic animals.
