Architekturpsychologie Perspektiven: Band 2 Diskurs und Vermittlung
by Alexandra AbelIn der gebauten und vom Menschen beeinflussten Umwelt manifestiert sich unser Leben: Lebenshaltung, Lebensformen, Lebensentwurf. Indem man Architektur neu denkt, hat man daher das Potential, die derzeitige Form unseres Lebens zu überdenken. Ein solches Neu, Anders braucht eine Sensibilisierung für die Relevanz der gebauten Umwelt, für die Werte und Zielgrößen, die hinter einer bestimmten Gestaltung stehen und braucht einen gesamtgesellschaftlichen Diskurs zu der zentralen Frage: Wie wollen wir leben? Wie dürfen wir leben? Vor dem Hintergrund ökologischer und ökonomischer Fairness: Welche Lebensformen sind kompatibel mit einer möglichst hohen Lebensqualität für uns alle, als Teil eines Ökosystems, mit dem unser Wohlbefinden unauflöslich verbunden ist. In diesem Band kommen namhafte Expertinnen aus Österreich, der Schweiz und Deutschland aus den Disziplinen der Architektur, der Psychologie, der Kunst und Kunstdidaktik zu Wort, die sich zu der Relevanz und zu den Voraussetzungen einer solchen Debatte äußern.

Archiving Strategies for Evolutionary Multi-objective Optimization Algorithms (Studies in Computational Intelligence #938)
by Oliver Schütze Carlos HernándezThis book presents an overview of archiving strategies developed over the last years by the authors that deal with suitable approximations of the sets of optimal and nearly optimal solutions of multi-objective optimization problems by means of stochastic search algorithms. All presented archivers are analyzed with respect to the approximation qualities of the limit archives that they generate and the upper bounds of the archive sizes. The convergence analysis will be done using a very broad framework that involves all existing stochastic search algorithms and that will only use minimal assumptions on the process to generate new candidate solutions. All of the presented archivers can effortlessly be coupled with any set-based multi-objective search algorithm such as multi-objective evolutionary algorithms, and the resulting hybrid method takes over the convergence properties of the chosen archiver. This book hence targets at all algorithm designers and practitioners in the field of multi-objective optimization.
Arctic and Environmental Change
by J. A. DowdeswellThis timely book presents a wide-ranging review of Arctic environmental change in response to global warming, and gives a broad insight into the transformation of the Arctic which we can expect during the next century. It is in high northern latitudes that we can expect to observe global warming at its most powerful, making it a natural laboratory where climate changes and their impacts can be monitored and studied more readily than elsewhere in the world. Fourteen authoritative reviews cover the predictions of warming rates by General Circulation Models; variabilities in atmospheric circulation and moisture flux; the dynamics of the polar vortex in the Arctic and its role in ozone loss; the countervailing influence of air pollution in reducing solar irradiance; and the impact of climatic change on Arctic terrestrial and marine ecosystems. Also detailed are the thermohaline circulation of the ocean, the extent and thickness of sea ice, the sizes of glaciers and ice sheets, and the extent of permafrost. Moving to past changes, the records from Greenland ice cores and deep ocean drilling are reviewed for what they tell us about past climates and glaciation in the Arctic., The book paints a vivid and disturbing picture of the enhanced warming that can be expected in the Arctic relative to lower latitudes, and of the major impacts that this will have on the northern cryosphere. It will be an invaluable reference for anyone seeking a greater understanding of the factors and processes affecting the arctic environment, which may ultimately have a major impact on global climatic change.

Arctic Marine Ecotoxicology: Climate Change, Pollutants, and Their Far-Reaching Effects
by Patrick Omoregie IsiborThis book explores the fragile Arctic marine environment from the perspective of marine toxicology, shedding light on the intricate relationship between pollution, contaminants, and Arctic ecosystems. It examines the challenges of preserving this delicate habitat and the need to conserve the inherent lifeforms found there. The book introduces the unique characteristics of Arctic marine life. It delineates climate change and the effects of pollutants, analyzing their far-reaching impacts on the complex waters of Arctic marine toxicology. It also examines the regulatory frameworks required to safeguard these vulnerable ecosystems and presents case studies and ethical considerations. Fundamentals of Arctic Marine Toxicology: Climate Change, Pollutants, and Their Far-Reaching Effects is a valuable resource for researchers, policymakers, industry professionals, and environmental stewards. Its interdisciplinary approach encompasses climate change, conservation, biology, environmental science, and toxicology. It offers a holistic understanding of the Arctic's ecological intricacies and the challenges posed by anthropogenic disturbances caused by human activities motivated by economic gain. The book serves as a guide towards a future of eco-friendly innovations that align with environmental stewardship. It envisions a world of sustainable Arctic marine ecosystems achieved through responsible and sustainable practices.
Arctic Marine Sustainability: Arctic Maritime Businesses and the Resilience of the Marine Environment (Springer Polar Sciences)
by Eva Pongrácz Victor Pavlov Niko HänninenThis book presents the latest scientific views on resource use conflicts in the Arctic seas. The main areas of focus are the biological resources of Arctic seas vs. exploitation of oil and gas resources, and the conflicts in between. In addition, climate change is presented as a stressor, which both limits and facilitates the economic availability of resources in the Arctic. The book is divided into five parts. Part 1 examines Arctic ecosystems, resilience of the marine environment and possible conflicts between industrial sector and biological world. The focus of Part 2 is on transport infrastructure along the northern routes. Issues such as Arctic maritime operations, black carbon and unmanned aerial vehicles are considered. Part 3 focuses on resource use conflicts in Arctic seas and on the most recent threats in terms of Arctic oil and gas exploration, offshore logistics operations as well as transportation of oil and oil products. Discussions in Part 4 of the book are concentrated around social aspects and involvement of local communities. Tourism development, preservation of indigenous culture, engagement of communities on relevant Arctic issues, search and rescue in the cold marine environment are examples of questions raised. The book reviews Arctic-specific petroleum regulations, the state of preparedness to oil spill accidents in the region as well as the latest developments in oil spill response technologies and their limitations. Search and rescue operations are reviewed and how working in this harsh Arctic environment affects the ability of rescue technicians to perform the required technical skills. Part 5 considers the sustainability challenges arising from the marine resource exploitation. The focus is on the vulnerability of Arctic ecosystems to disturbance – both natural and anthropogenic.
