ABSTRACT
In this study a conceptual framework will allow design teams to have an appropriate balance between economic, social and environmental issues, changing the way construction practitioners think about the information they use when assessing building projects, thereby facilitating the sustainability of building industry. In view of the increasing significance of greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction required by various countries, heritage buildings serve an important target in mitigating energy consumption through refurbishment. Information on the performance assessment of heritage buildings during refurbishment is rare in current literature. Hence, the aim of this study is to explore possible applicable assessment themes for heritage building refurbishment. A literature review was conducted from various assessment tools to develop a generic assessment framework. Four focus group discussions with 32 research and industry experts were carried out, and the applicable assessment themes and sub-themes were determined. Five main assessment dimensions relevant to heritage buildings refurbishment was identified - heritage, environmental, economic, social, and process. However, the process dimension was found to be unaddressed by currently assessment tools. This research can facilitate the identification of appropriate assessment themes and sub-themes for the refurbishment and improvement of heritage buildings. The findings can also be used by policy makers, conservators, designers, and building owners when refurbishing heritage buildings.
Keywords: assessment themes, assessment scheme, heritage buildings, non-domestic building, refurbishment, environmental sustainability

ABSTRACT
In this paper the application of quadtree algorithm in the situation analysis of natural ecology is used to estimate rate distortion optimized motion of video compression. This algorithm is applied in the natural ecology protection system, it can locate the region which pollutes quickly in the map, provides the scientific basis for the government in carrying on the ecological environment and using the resources environment sustainable. State of the art technologies like multiple reference frame (MRF), Variable Size Block Matching (VSBM) and quarter pixel accuracy are used in video coding standards and strive to reduce temporal and spatial redundancies and preserve life forms and natural resources. It is evident from the literature review that around 70 %-90% of total computational power is used in motion estimation. Thus, reduction in redundancy and computational complexity of motion estimation has one of dominating taken research area in the area art and situation analysis of natural ecology. Of the many techniques available to reduce computational complexity along with redundancy in motion estimation on the basis of art principles, quadtree based algorithms for variable size block matching (VSBM) is one of the most sought after which is way to merge environmental studied and art technologies. In this investigation, an effort has been made to apply quadtree algorithm in situation analysis of natural ecology, which is based on edges homogeneity and is in conformity with environmental principles. This algorithm permits adaptive bit allocation between Displaced Frame Difference (DFD) and Motion Vector Field (DVF). The rate distortion optimization (RDO) allows for trade-off between distortion and rate, it is build based upon quadtree with active and inactive region using edges homogeneity present in the frame. Experimental results using ecological factors and improved quadtree algorithm and A* prune algorithm optimization that reveals total bits for different multi constraints shortest path. The improved motion estimation algorithm based on the philosophy of quadtree leads to substantial improvement in the situation analysis of natural environment and is also significantly helpful in applying algorithm technologies to ecosystem and living species.
Keywords: quadtree, ecological equilibrium, situation analysis of natural ecology, motion estimation, A* Prune algorithm, ecosystem

ABSTRACT
The paper analysis the dynamic relationship between energy consumption and urbanization using SVAR model with Impulse response functions and variance decomposition based on time series data of 1990-2010 in Shanxi Province. The results show that: urbanization accelerates energy consumption in the short term and decreases energy consumption in the long run, but the contribution is smaller. Therefore, it is an important way for the balance between urbanization and energy consumption to improve energy efficiency, to promote energy-saving technology, to use scientific and technological innovation, and to enhance residents awareness of energy saving.
Keywords: urbanization, energy consumption, SVAR model, impulse response function, variance decomposition

ABSTRACT
The new century has brought new challenges and threats that the mankind should cope with if it wants to survive. The authors emphasized among them the three most considerable, such as 1) Healthcare and quality of life – human lifespan, environment deterioration, especially in the cities, early mortality, poverty and corruption; 2) Safety – a threat of war, ecological disasters and climate change, religious and ethnic conflicts, terrorism, economic safety related to modernization of the resource based economy, corruption, globalization of the world economy, migration of population; 3) Resources and their scarcity – demand for new types of energy and energy efficient materials, pure drinking water, food problems, intensification of the housing and road construction. The world leading universities aim at solving the most urgent global challenges through R&D projects and education. One of the effective answer for the global challenges is the idea of integrative educational programs which can merge most important knowledge and skills from the ecology, technology, natural and social sciences, business and management into engineering education. Chemical engineering as one of the most effective instruments for solving global problems through providing high-tech solutions for healthcare, development of new materials, safety and the problems of energy and resource scarcity. Using benchmarking methodology the authors studied the main principles of making effective strategy of university’s development in the contemporary world. The case of Kazan National Research Technological University is in the focus of their attention. Of course the attempts of redesigning of traditional university format are facing with resistance. Therefore the tools of change management are also specified.
Keywords: challenges of the 21st century, world problems, universities’ strategies, chemical engineering, change management

ABSTRACT
Plague is a natural focal zoonotic infection. The natural carriers of the plague bacteria are various animals (mostly rodents). A human becomes infected either by bite of an infected flea, or by direct contact with a sick animal (most often during cutting). From 1974 to 2003 on the territory of Kazakhstan 33 cases of people infected with plague (including 2 cases of bacteria carrier) were registered in 25 natural epidemic foci. Over the past 30 years bubonic, bubonic-septic, skin-septic, tonsillar-bubonic and tonsillar forms of the plague have been reported. The age range of people infected with plague ranged from 3 to 65 years. Among infected with plague the largest number were workers involved in various agricultural work and schoolchildren. By a sign of gender, the majority of cases are men. Sources of the disease were different: wild rodent fleas, camels, two cases of disease associated with cutting of plague-infected hare, one person became infected while cutting saiga carcass, one case of the disease was recorded as a result of a child bite by a wild rodent, an aerosol infection was registered in 9% of cases. During the years of observation the largest number of patients was recorded in July and in August. Modeling data on human plague disease using the K-function showed that there are clusters of outbreaks of human plague. Such clustering of outbreaks is observed at a distance of 1000 m, and from the distance between outbreaks of 4000 m there is a dispersed spatial arrangement of outbreaks. The proximity analysis showed that in outbreaks of plague from 1974 to 2003 there is a clustering of diseases of people with plague with a 99% confidence interval at a z-score value: - 2.03 and p values <0.01.

ABSTRACT
Based on the Panel ARDL model, this paper reports the economic and environmental performance of environmental tax levied in 36 countries of OECD from 1994 to 2014. According to the double dividend theory of environmental tax, the following six variables are selected to establish the Panel ARDL model: environmental tax, GDP, unemployment rate, greenhouse gas emissions, nitrogen oxides emissions and sulfur oxides emissions. After a series of econometric methods such as unit root test, cointegration test and Granger causality test, the conclusion is as followed. It is found that there is a long-term cointegration relationship between the environmental tax and the other five variables. We can also conclude that the environmental tax significantly reduces nitrogen oxides emissions in the long run, while it also significantly reduces sulfur oxides emissions in the short run, then from this perspective, the green dividend effect is obvious. But in fact, we cannot prove that environmental taxes have a significant positive effect on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, we have confirmed that for 36 countries of OECD, environmental taxes can achieve the blue dividend of economic growth, but there is no evidence that environmental taxes have a positive effect on reducing unemployment.

ABSTRACT
The research urgency is caused by the trends to find effective ways of crises overcoming, which acquires in the XX1 century global nature due to many factors of human activities that damage the environment. It is established that as a key strategy for solving this problem, the leading position is devoted to the rethinking of the individual ecological culture ethical values, based on the principles of unity of man and the environment; the organization of economic activity on the basis of ethical values of nature management and forecasting the consequences of their behavior for the environment; the recognition of the right of wildlife all kinds to the equal value of life on Earth with man. This strategy determines the need for scientific substantiation of the theoretical and methodical approach to rethinking the interaction principles between man and the environment, providing for the formation of a system of values, value orientations, interests, needs, attitudes, experience of the individual in making new, environmentally-oriented decisions and norms of behavior in relation to the natural environment. In this regard, the main attention in this article is devoted to the development and testing of universal ethical principles of the individual’s ecological culture innovative model, raising to the rank of law the equal coexistence of man and nature and the development of sustainable interaction of ecology, economy and production. With the help of environmental monitoring, implemented as a leading method of research, the effectiveness of the ethical principles’ universals of the model of man and nature equal coexistence is experimentally tested and justified. The article reveals the prerequisites for the transformation of the individual’s ecological culture; the content of ethical principles’ universals for rethinking the ecological culture of the individual is established; on the basis of the results of the study the structure and content of axiological, cognitive, procedural, orientation components of the innovative model od individual’s ecological culture is justified and the practical importance in the implementation of ethical principles’ universals of the model is proved.

ABSTRACT
Concerns about the detrimental effects of occupational and environmental exposure on male reproductive function have been raised by reports of declining sperm quality over the last decades. Infertility is a critical problem of couples during reproductive age around the world. This cross-sectional study was conducted from September 2014 to June 2015 in Kohgiluyeh Va Boyer-Aahmad province, Iran. A total of 2284 couples whose women were 19-49 year old through a multistage sampling were randomly selected. Measurements of age, education, occupation, weight and height of men and women, residential place, weather temperature state of the residence region of the couples and the pregnancy history of the wives were gathered. Data were statistically described. Multiple logistic regression analysis was used to detect risk factors for infertility. Statistical significant level was set at 0.05. The prevalence of current infertility among the couples was 10.9% [95% confidence interval (CI): 9.6-12.2]. Woman’s age of 35 years or older [odds ratio (OR)=1.38: 1.03-1.85], resident in regions with hot weather condition (OR=1.47: 1.02-2.11), rural residential state (OR=1.54: 1.13-2.1) and illiteracy of women (OR=1.96: 1.24-3.09) significantly increased the risk of infertility occurrence among the couples. In concluding, Infertility was a concerned health and social problem in the studied population. Rural residential condition, living in regions with hot temperature, illiteracy of woman and the age at 35 years and older in women were detected as the risk factors of infertility presence in the studied couples.

ABSTRACT
The relevance of the study of the prospects for preserving the biosystems of the regions through the development of ecological tourism in the Republic of Tajikistan is explained by the importance of preserving the main resource of ecological tourism - the natural environment or its individual components, harmonization of the ecological and economic objectives of tourism development. The purpose of this study is to determine the prospects for the preservation of regional biosystems through the development of ecological tourism in the Republic of Tajikistan. As the results of the study showed, the development of ecological tourism in Tajikistan is promoted by the formation of regional ecological zones covering a large area that have unique natural and recreational resources of interest to foreign tourists. But, despite the availability of opportunities and development prerequisites, ecological tourism in the Republic of Tajikistan is in its infancy. According to expert estimates, the main base for the formation and development of ecological tourism in the republic is the Tajik National Park, which is formed to protect the landscape, rare and endangered species of flora and fauna, nature, culture and history, as well as the development and rationalization of tourism. The study emphasized that along with the positive aspects of the preservation of the region’s biosystem in the Tajik National Park, there are a number of problems that hinder the development of eco-tourism. As a result of the analysis of existing scientific research conducted by the polls, the article suggests ways to solve these problems. The article will be useful for regional and federal authorities, educational institutions that prepare students in the direction of “tourism”, as well as for all those interested in the conservation of biosystems and the development of ecological tourism.

ABSTRACT
After the Cold War, especially after the 2008 financial crisis, the international system has undergone major structural changes, and the power in the international system is increasingly showing the trend of shift from the old powers to the emerging powers and from the national states to the civil society. With the rising strength of developing countries, facing the unfair distribution of responsibilities for climate change governance, developing countries must express a call and appeal of justice of climate change governance. Climate change governance has an intrinsic appeal for the value of justice, as it involves the distribution of responsibilities and the sharing of benefits. The current inequality in climate change governance is mainly reflected in the unequal distribution of climate responsibilities between the North and the South. To achieve the justice of climate change governance, the distribution of responsibilities for climate change governance must follow the principles of minimum, common but differentiated responsibilities and historical responsibility, and the sharing of benefits should follow the difference principle.

ABSTRACT
Environmental law as a science is being reconsidered because new environmental challenges and issues and their regulation require for theoretical understandings. International documents fixing the progressive world community’s vision of prospects for the fight against global environmental issues serve as lawmaking acts. The United Nations Millennium Declaration 2000 (Chapter IV Protecting our common environment) is meant to be one of the strategic international documents stipulating cornerstone principles of environmental compliance and policy for the short- and long-term perspective. This article describes the principles and provisions declared in this document and their significance for international environmental law development.
Keywords: international environmental law, UN, UN Millennium Declaration, Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), sustainable development concept

ABSTRACT
The present research strives to improve safety cultures to reduce work-related injuries in the hazardous environment of the construction industry for foreign workers using a training course. It focuses on developing a framework for needs of information delivery used by foreign workers based on misunderstanding problem in, Health, Safety and Environment Induction Training (HSEIT). The aim of this study is to discover the needs and redevelop a framework for information delivery for foreign workers in the course. This study has been carried out using quantitative approach with convenient sampling. The respondents are foreign workers who are involved in construction works in a natural environment. They are trained how to protect themselves against hazardous environmental and ecological events. Research findings revealed that among the needs for information delivery by the foreign workers in training course include printed text in their own language for the notes, books, booklets; oral delivery is also expected to be in their own language, which includes face-to-face delivery, slides, film, and video. This is found to be very beneficial when they confront dangerous environmental risks. Also, they need printed visual materials like notes as well as video. In overall, the needs framework is able to greatly impact and contribute in construction industry, in which it could be the guidelines and alternative reference for various parties like the course instructors, safety officer, and the Construction Industry and Development Board (CIDB). In fact, the environmental framework is able to increase the gained information and understanding in satisfying the needs of the foreign workers in the natural site besides advancing the instructors’ delivery of the contents in training course and eliminating the language barrier in HSEIT. It is also potential to help the CIDB achieving the course objective and increase the safety performance in open environments as well as the safety awareness among foreign workers. The findings of the study indicate that the training has played a role in decreased work-related injuries and changing attitudes to safety training.

ABSTRACT
At present, the contradiction between enterprise development and environmental protection is becoming increasingly prominent. The problem of green supplier selection in IoT (Internet of things) has attracted more and more attention from scholars. Thus, this paper, aiming at the problem of enterprise green supplier selection, uses the utility conversion method to pre-process the data, and proposes a comprehensive method for determining the weight of experts. Finally, the effectiveness of the method is further tested by the empirical analysis.
Keywords: comprehensive expert weight, green standard, green supplier selection, Internet of things

ABSTRACT
The relevance of the issue under study is caused by the need to form a new socio-psychological paradigm in the field of environmental education. It was clearly shown by the beginning of the new millennium, that the current environmental education is based on analytical knowledge of nature, which is pragmatically narrow and consumer-oriented, and therefore it could not fundamentally change the worldview of a significant part of the population. As a result, there is an objective need for a transition to a qualitatively new stage in its development. The purpose of the article is to determine the socio-psychological factors that contribute to and hinder the formation of eco-vocational consciousness of students. The study methods: The leading method for studying this issue is modeling, which allows considering the socio-psychological factors that contribute to and hinder the purposeful formation of eco-vocational consciousness structural components. The article identifies the main factors contributing to the process of eco-vocational consciousness formation: the need for a value orientation for the co-evolution of man and the biosphere; the ability of the individual of perceiving, experiencing and comprehension the relationship between the current environmental situation and occupational activities; the willingness of specialists to consciously implement environmentally reasonable occupational activities; public interest in the knowledge, transformation and maintenance of the environment in optimal condition and other significant factors. The factors that prevent the formation of eco-vocational consciousness are identified: the absence of a state customer for an ecologically-oriented vocational education; weak linkage of environmental training with vocational training; poor scientific and methodical provision of environmental orientation in vocational training, theoretical and methodical foundations for organizing the integration of environmental and vocational training; the need to coordinate and manage the system of electronic training, the creation of didactic complexes, appropriate methods. The data obtained in the work can be used in education to build effective educational programs for the development of eco-vocational consciousness; in practical psychology, in ecological psychology, as well as for further theoretical development of this issue.

ABSTRACT
Crop yield is one of the complex characters controlled by several interacting genotypic and environmental factors. A field experiment is conducted at Babylon farm, Mashroo Al-Musaib, for five seasons (spring and autumn) 2014, 2015 and 2016. The study has some: to study the types of gene action, inheritance of important characters and to determine the combining ability in advanced generations of inbreads Zea maize. In the first season, diallel cross with one direction (half diallel) which was done among six genotypes of Zea maize: IK8, ZP, DK, M2, W17.161, IK58, and R153. The second season is a field experiment conducted for all crosses with parents using RCBD. Data is analyzed by Griffing method 2 fixed Model. Statistical analysis results reveal high significant differences among the genotypes in all studied characters. Variances values are estimated from additive and non-additive gene action, average degree of dominance and heritability in Zea maize and narrow sense. Genetic analysis shows that there is a significant difference for GCA and SCA for all the studied characters, indicating a predominance of non-additive gene action. The average degree of dominance is more than one for all the studied characters in all generations, which indicates the effects of over dominance. The estimation of heritability in Zea maize shows high values for most studied characters, while heritability in narrow sense has low values except grain yield per plant. Parent DK has the highest positive effect of general combining ability in the crosses (IK8XR153) in F1 in grain yield, oil and protein ratio. The expected genetic advance value increases with inbreeding advance. There is a positive effect of genotypic, environmental, phnotypic correlation for yield with protein and oil ratio for all generations under study. The highest hybrid vigor is noticed in zea maize because of the genetic diversity between genotypic. Yield gives the largest expected advance in F3 which is 1.73 with expected genetic percentage 7.74%. The main conclusions from these results, that is a continuous variance in genetic parameters, yield and its components for parents and these crosses in all the studied generations because the segregate generations and the characters are not well stabilized till F5 or F6, so these crosses must be grown to a successive generations to develop new genotypes with high oil, protein and yielding ability.

ABSTRACT
The classification of terrorist attacks plays an important role in ensuring optimal emergency resource allocation and effective implementation for contingency plan. This paper integrates support vector machine (SVM) with intelligent tuned harmony search (ITHS) to develop ITHS-SVM model for the classification of terrorist attacks, in which SVM provides learning and curve fitting functions while ITHS optimizes parameters of SVM. Through an experiment, the superiority of ITHS-SVM classification model on terrorist attack is verified with sample data of terrorist attacks in China during 2009-2016. Compared with six other classification models, ITHS-SVM exhibits the best performance on all four evaluation metrics of accuracy, precision, sensitivity and empirical error rate (EER). Our study demonstrates that ITHS-SVM model is effective for classification of terrorist attacks and can provide scientific basis for decision makers in response to terrorist attacks.

ABSTRACT
The relevance of the study is caused by the fact that at the present stage of human civilization development, it is faced with such a global problem as environmental one. The approaches to percept the relationship between man and nature that existed until today, based on Darwinism, natural philosophy and anthropocentrism, have brought humanity to the edge of ecological disaster, to the edge of irreversible biosphere disturbances. There need for a new understanding of the place and role of man in nature and the foundations of their interaction has emerged. It is through the prism of philosophy, through the creation of new paradigms of environmental philosophy and the changing world view of society, taking into account new environmental realities is possible to find solutions to global environmental problems. The study objective is aimed at analyzing various approaches to the current application of philosophy in the field of ecology, the definition of new trends for the development of environmental philosophy. The study results: The article discusses the main current trends of philosophical thought development aimed at solving environmental problems. It is concluded that the most promising one is the theory of Eco philosophy, which studies the general patterns of human interaction with the natural environment based on the principles of eco-humanism: environmental friendliness in relation to a specific person and humanity as a whole to nature, environmental friendliness in relations of individuals and human communities with each other. Eco philosophy makes it possible to comprehensively solve the problem of the co-evolution of human society and the biosphere. Practical significance: The materials of the article are of theoretical and practical value for the development of educational and methodical complexes on ecology and ecological philosophy, as well as programs aimed at the formation of new environmentally friendly ideological and value attitudes of modern youth.

ABSTRACT
Objective: complementary medicine (CAM), especially herbal medicine, is widely used in worldwide. Although use of herbal medicine among patients with mental disorders seems common, limited scientific data exist about the efficacy, side effects and safety of these herbs. In other hands, there are also concerns about the possible negative psychiatric effects. Cotoneaster manna, as an herb, has been used pervasively in traditional and modern medicine for treatment of physical disorders as therapeutic and protective medicine. This study was established to assess domestic common believes and concerns (especially psychiatric problem side effects) about this herb and also assess its effects on animal model of aggression and depression Methods and materials: in this experiment 24 male Albumin Wistar rats were divided to three groups, control, treatments (500 and 1000 mg/kg) and Bilineaster herbal oral drop (Cotoneaster manna drop) was gastrogavaged for five days. Resident intruder paradigm, chronic mild stress, and the forced swim test were administrated and data were calculated according to protocols. Results: ANOVA revealed a significant difference between three group in both of swimming (p=.002) and mobility (p=.004) with higher scores for treatment groups. There was no significant difference between three groups in offensive aggressive behavior and social exploration behaviors in the environment (p>.05). Conclusion: The result showed that Cotoneaster manna not only increased anti-depressive like behaviors, but also does not induce any aggressive behavior in the environment.

ABSTRACT
Under the advance of time, development of science and technology, and popularity of network, the combination of medical ecological environment and information & communication technology provides diverse medical care services for the public. Having the elderly receive diverse medical services in neighboring communities, under constantly increasing medical expenses becomes the common objective of various countries. An artificial intelligence medical service system might be the ideal tool to actualize local aging. Taking prefecture-level cities in Shanghai as samples, total 16 DMUs are studied. With the operation of Modified Delphi Method, the geometric mean is used as the consensus of experts’ input/output evaluation; and, DEA is applied to evaluate the performance on the introduction of artificial intelligence medical service system into medical ecological environment. The research results conclude that one DMU presents strong efficiency on the introduction of artificial intelligence medical service system into medical ecological environment, 6 DMUs reveal the efficiency in 0.9-1, and 9 DMUs appear the efficiency lower than 0.9. Slack Variable Analysis is further applied to improve excess and short inputs of prefecture-level cities. According to the results, suggestions are proposed, expecting that medical staff could real-time grasp the physiological state and offer timely assistance to reduce medical costs, promote the quality of life of people in communities, and improve doctor-patient interactive relationship.
Keywords: medical ecological environment, artificial intelligence medical service system, performance evaluation, medical service

ABSTRACT
The association of energy utilization with economic progress has always proven to be crucial in modern business. Acknowledging the importance of sectoral energy utilization, the present study explores the environmental impact of industrial, commercial, transportation& agricultural energy consumption on economic progress of Malaysia. Applying the functionality of Cobb-Douglas, the authors utilized the long time series data from the period of 1978 to 2016. The outcomes of the empirical investigations using ARDL bound testing approach ascertain the presence of long-run association between GDP growth, capital, labor along with the sectoral energy utilizations of the country. Furthermore, the study also finds empirical evidences of positive significant associations of all energy consumptions with economic growth. Lastly, the results of Granger-causality also confirm the existence of bi-directional causal association between all sectoral energy consumptions and Malaysian economic progress. This study brings a valid policy recommendation for the Malaysia Government to invest more in all sector of energy for the progress in the Malaysian economic growth.

ABSTRACT
Since the concept of environment production factor proposed, it has been widely concerned. However, it is lacking for the study on its supply, demand curve and price setting model. Several questions have been discussed in this paper. First, we analyze the supply curve without considering reserved self- using. Second, according to its concept and characteristics, we get its “vertical ladle” supply curve in practice. Finally, combine the demand curve of environment production factor; we get its equilibrium price under condition of perfect competition.
Keywords: environment production factor, supply curve, equilibrium price

ABSTRACT
The urgency of the study is due to the fact that on the threshold of XXI, humanity faced a global civilization and environmental crisis caused by the spread of Darwinism, natural philosophy and anthropocentrism, the formation of techno-gene civilization and a consumer society. The solution of the problems connected with this is possible only on the basis of creating a new humanistic rational biosphere and noosphere-based world outlook and forming on its basis an individual and social consciousness. The primary role in this process is given to the education system, which must be appropriately reformed on the basis of sustainable development concept, reflecting the current trends in the development of human civilization in order to preserve its existence in harmony with the natural environment. The study purpose: this article is aimed at analyzing various approaches to modern environmental education, factors of its effectiveness in the context of sustainable development concept’s implementation. The study results: it is established that modern environmental education should be focused on the formation of a humanistic co-evolutionary consciousness and spiritual and moral foundations of the noosphere era’s human capable of creating conditions for the ecological, economic and social sustainable development of civilization with harmonious interaction with the biosphere and socio-sphere. Based on the analysis of the relevant scientific literature, the article highlights the main factors of the effectiveness of environmental education in the framework of sustainable development concept, such as integrity, humanization and environmental self-training and self-upbringing, as well as their content is disclosed. Practical significance: The materials of the article are of theoretical and practical value for the development of educational and methodical complexes on ecology and ecological pedagogy, teachers’ training and retraining programs, as well as programs aimed at the formation of new environmentally appropriate ideological and value attitudes among modern youth.

ABSTRACT
Globally, pollution of rivers and streams has become one of the most crucial environmental problems of the 20th century. This study aimed to determine the water quality along the Prafi River at Manokwari, West Papua, using some macrozoobenthic biotic index and chemical physics of water parameters. The location grouping was done using cluster and biplot analysis based on a macrozoobenthic biotic index and water chemical physics. Sampling was done based on the Purposive Random Sampling method in different part of river, such as upper (no human activities), plantation, dam, irrigation and fisheries, oil palm plantation, domestic, agriculture and livestock, and fishing area. In all locations, the results showed that the pH ranged from 7.80—8.36 and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) from 0.53—5.51 mg/L. Prafi river was dominated by high activities of human and had an impact on poor water quality based on macrozoobenthos biotic index (Family and Hilsenhoff, respectively) but taxa score (ASPT) showed lightly polluted. Based on cluster and biplot analysis, half more of Prafi River was also dominated by polluted water in downstream site. Biologically, the polluted water could be identified by high percentage of Chironomidae around the river.
Keywords: biotic index, macrozoobenthos, Prafi River, water quality, environmental conditions

ABSTRACT
The thermodynamic conditions in the environmental storms are derived from the Rapid Update Cycle model analysis, where the point nearest to the storm, in the direction of storm motion was used. This paper presented the evolution (5-minute flash rate) of two tropical hailstorms that occurred in Malaysia at two sites namely Bukit Jalil (approximately 112 km from our station) and Sungai Udang (approximately 22 km from our station) with the objective to understand the relationship of the hailstorms with Negative Narrow Bipolar Event (–NBE) and Positive Cloud-to-Ground (+CG) flashes. The hailstorm occurred in Bukit Jalil on June 3rd 2016 started at around 08:20 (UTC) and producing hails around 10:30. Negative NBE rate reaches the maximum at around 10:30 to 10.40 with 17 –NBEs recorded when the hails were reported to hit the ground. Within the same time, 15 +NBEs were detected. 75 minutes before the hails hit the ground, 30 –NBEs and 70 +NBEs were detected. In contrast, only 3 +CG were detected. On the other hand, after 10.40 and up to 14.30 (230 minutes), only 5 –NBE were detected compared to 244 +NBEs and 9 +CGs. The hailstorm occurred in Sungai Udang on September 14th 2016 started at around 17:00 and producing hails around 19:00 to 19:30. Within this 30 minutes duration, 70 +CGs were detected when the hails were reported to hit the ground. 120 minutes before the hails hit the ground, only 4 –NBE were detected compared to 154 +NBEs and 22 +CGs were detected. After 19.30 up to 20.30 (60 minutes duration), 4 +NBEs and 18 +CGs were detected while no –NBE has been recorded. Based on the results of these 2 tropical hailstorms, clearly stronger convection does not related only to higher –NBEs flash rate but also highly correlated to +CGs flash rate.

ABSTRACT
Water-based tourism has consistently been popular. However, the water environment is fragile and easily affected by human activities. Thus, the sustainability of water-based tourism is at a serious condition. Quantitative evaluation is needed to formulate sustainable development strategies and guarantee the sustainable development of water-based tourism. From the goal of the sustainable development of tourism and characteristics of water-based tourism, this paper have built an evaluation index system for the sustainable development of water-based tourism, this study used to select 18 index factors from 5 aspects, namely, economic, social, environmental, management, and development conditions. Index weight coefficients are measured through the analytic hierarchy process. And a sustainable development evaluation model for water-based tourism is built based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Empirical analysis is performed with an actual case to verify the validity of the proposed method. Case analysis shows that the evaluation method for the sustainable development of water-based tourism presented in this study is valid and provides a reference for the management of sustainable development and formulation of strategies for water-based tourism.

ABSTRACT
The relevance of developing regional environmental programs for waste management, as well as assessing the socio-economic impact of these programs is explained by the importance of solving environmental problems in the modern world. The purpose of the preparation of this article is to justify the importance of developing a scientifically based toolkit that allows assessing the impact of the implementation of environmental programs in the regions, their impact on the quality of life of the local population. The main research methods were descriptive statistics and methods of multivariate statistical analysis, content analysis, factor analysis, data systematization, expert assessments and their coordination, as well as other scientific approaches. The study was presented on the example of the processing of tires and rubber products, as one of the most pressing problems of the number set by the global automotive industry to humanity. The article briefly summarizes the global practice of waste disposal, describes promising technologies for processing tires and other rubber-containing wastes used in the Russian Federation, and substantiates the role of the state in stimulating industrial waste recycling activities. In addition, the article discusses the debatable aspects of assessing the socio-economic effectiveness of investment projects for the disposal of waste and garbage in the Russian Federation, and substantiates the need to take into account the socio-economic consequences of the implementation of regional environmental recycling programs. The materials of the article can be used by public authorities in assessing the socio-economic consequences of the implementation of regional environmental programs for waste management.

ABSTRACT
Today, climate change is taking place as an irrefutable reality of international community. This phenomenon is one of the most important challenges of the contemporary age. In fact, the negative effects of climate change and its harmful effects to the human health and environment itself, conducted international community to accept some international treaties such as the Convention on Climate Change 1992, the Kyoto Protocol 1997 and the Paris Conference 2015. The Paris agreements on the climate change is an agreement within the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which dealing with greenhouse gas and oblige the parties to take account of the magnitude and consequences of global warming Reducing GHG emissions for the first time. The goal of this agreement is to change the economy based on global fossil fuels over the next few decades and decrease the global warming track. The Islamic Republic of Iran also declared its agreement at the time of the initial approval of the Paris Agreement, but the process of formal accession to this agreement entails ratification by the Islamic Consultative Assembly, the general of which was passed by the Islamic Consultative Assembly and then presented to the Council. The Guardian is currently being re-examined in the Islamic Consultative Assembly to resolve the ambiguities and defects of the Guardian Council. This has led to disagreement between the proponents and the opponents of Iran's accession to the Paris Agreement. In this paper, while reviewing the legal process for the formation of the Paris Agreement, the views of the advocates and opponents of Iran's accession to the agreement were examined from the perspective of Iranian fundamental rules and regulations. According to this research, ratification and implementation of the Paris agreement could increase the country's ability to adapt new rules and regulations in order to reduce consequences of global warming Reducing GHG emissions.

ABSTRACT
People are increasing the needs for travel in past years to drive the development of tourism. Such a result causes the damage of natural environment and has tourist attractions lose the attraction to tourists to result in destruction on both environment and managers. To cope with above needs, ecotourism naturally becomes an alternative choice for many people. Aiming at ecotourism, the tourists are distributed 360 copies of questionnaire. Total 267 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 74%. The research results summarize significantly positive effects of 1. brand image on perceived value, 2. perceived value on repurchase intention, and 3. brand image on repurchase intention. According to the results, suggestions are proposed, expecting to effectively promote the competitiveness of domestic ecotourism in the tourism market and achieve the objective of sustained-yield management.

ABSTRACT
The study relevance: The present stage of education development is characterized by the development of ecological consciousness of young people which becomes more and more important and relevant. Particularly, the development of ecological intention as a structural component of ecological consciousness is of particular importance. The purpose of the study: based on the study of theoretical and methodological foundations and approaches in understanding the specifics of the individual’s ecological consciousness development, to identify the features of the development of ecological intentions of students for sustainable development of Man and Nature. The study methods: the leading method for the study of this problem is the experimental method. Within the study of the environmental intentions of students, we used an experiment with students of various faculties (law, chemical-biological, electrical engineering) where the students of the 1st, 3d, 5th courses participated. Results: the article presents a thorough and detailed analysis of the concepts of ecological consciousness and ecological intention. As a result of the experiment it is revealed that students of chemical-biological and electrical engineering faculty can better offer options for solving environmental problems than students of the faculty of law; among the students of 3 courses, regardless of the faculty, there is a clear tendency to reduce the indicators of environmental consciousness and environmental intentions, which may be due to the increasing load in educational activities. The difference in indicators of ecological consciousness and ecological intention between the faculty of law and electrical engineering is insignificant, but in qualitative terms there are certain differences: students of the faculty of law, although not fully are aware of some aspects of nature, but, nevertheless, are ready to perform environmentally beneficial actions. Students of the faculty of electrical engineering have the opposite situation: despite the better awareness of environmental problems and the ability to offer better solutions in this regard, they have a low level of readiness for environmental action in terms of personal participation. Practical significance: the data obtained in the work can be used in education to build effective educational programs for the development of environmental consciousness; in practical psychology, environmental psychology, as well as for the further theoretical development of this issue.

ABSTRACT
Acknowledging the importance of sectoral energy utilization, the present study explores the impact of industrial, commercial, and agricultural energy consumption and economic progress of Malaysia on environmental degradation as measured by CO2 emissions. Applying the functionality of Cobb-Douglas, the authors utilized the long time series data from the period of 1978 to 2016. The outcomes of the empirical investigations using ARDL bound testing approach ascertain the presence of long-run association between GDP growth, capital, labor along with the sectoral energy utilizations of the country. Furthermore, the study also finds empirical evidences of positive significant associations of all energy consumptions with economic growth. Lastly, long run relationship among environmental degradation and energy consumption and economic growth along with financial development, trade openness, capital stocks, and urbanization as control variables. In addition, FMOLS results confirm that economic growth and energy consumption have a positive and significant impact on environmental degradation. This study brings a valid policy recommendation for the Malaysia Government to invest more in all sector of energy for the progress in the Malaysian economic growth.

ABSTRACT
People are increasing the requirements for medical ecology in past years so that the establishment of an electronic medical care mechanism becomes urgent. Along with the development of network technology and the advance of information technology, electronic data could be done the statistical analysis. By extracting electronic medical records through the Internet, physicians could rapidly grasp complete medical record information for the diagnosis to further enhance medical quality and assist hospital managers in making proper decisions. Aiming at upper first-class hospitals in Shanghai, total 12 representative hospitals with artificial intelligence medical assistant systems are selected as the research objects for this study. Based on the annual statistical reports of the hospitals, “Delphi Method” and “Data Envelopment Analysis” are utilized for the data analyses. The research results are summarized as followings. 1. One DMU presents strong efficiency on the artificial intelligence medical assistant system performance, 4 DMUs show the efficiency in 0.9-1, and 5 DMUs appear the efficiency lower than 0.9. 2. Sensitivity analysis is utilized for analyzing and finding out the critical factors in the application of artificial intelligence medical assistant systems to medical ecology, and the inputs and outputs are gradually removed for DEA to understand the sensitivity to efficiency. According to the results, suggestions are proposed, expecting to provide medical ecology with the application of artificial intelligence medical assistant systems extracting data through diagnosis systems to perfect the medical record information of patients for physicians’ diagnoses and to further promote medical quality.

ABSTRACT
The rise of affordable housing in Malaysia has inspired a study on the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) of affordable housing. This is because there are several studies that have proven that IEQ influences the health and wellbeing of the residents. The study was conducted in four different apartment developments in Klang Valley, Malaysia, by using a questionnaire survey. The Human Development Index (HDI) is developed based on the data collected from the study, using the formula provided by the Ministry of Youth and Sports Malaysia in their annual Malaysia Youth Index report (IBM). The HDI has indicated that the health and well-being of the occupants in Malaysian affordable housing developments are at the neutral category, scoring 72.16 over 100. Physical condition stands at an index score of 74.29 whilst no fatigue is at poor level with a score of 56.82, whereas for psychological condition, all the indicators are in the neutral category except for No annoyance item, which is in the good category. The index was developed for IEQ factors in affordable housing with data collected from the questionnaire survey. The index developed has shown that factors of IEQ are in both the Extremely disappointed range and the Extremely important range. The acoustic comfort factor gained the lowest score for level of satisfaction whilst indoor air quality gained the highest score for level of importance of IEQ. Noise level scored the lowest in the level of satisfaction and state of health scored the highest score for level of importance. This study aims to provide an overview on the health and wellbeing of occupants in Malaysian affordable housing and to assist the improvement of affordable housing for future development in order to improve the quality of life of residents in affordable housing developments.

ABSTRACT
There are many diversified methods that can assess the business performance of the ecology industry. Usually, administrators use their experience to conduct their judgment, which lacks scientific and systematic objective evidence. Therefore, it can easily cause mistakes in the administration. Data Envelopment Analysis, a linear planning technique in research, is one of the methods that can be used to assess business performance and is often used to solve this issue. Through the information from the input and output items, this study was conducted to measure the relative business performance of eco-enterprises. In real practice, data collection and an analysis of each department are usually used to offer objective reference values and benchmark for learning, before suggestions are offered for specific directions and goals for improvement in order to help eco-enterprises enhance their business performance.

ABSTRACT
The relevance of the study of the influence of anthropogenic factors on the ecological state of artificial and natural water bodies is determined by the increasing level of pollution of lakes, reservoirs and ponds. The greatest negative load is noted in the territories adjacent to large megacities, including Moscow. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of anthropogenic factors on the ecological status of the spawning grounds of Lake Senezh. The paper presents the results of a differentiated analysis of the hydrocarbon content in a rainfall runoff from Timonovsky Highway, washed away from the carriageway and dam to Lake Senezh. According to the results of the study, an assessment was made of the environmental consequences of mistakes in the design of roads surrounding Lake Senezh, the ratio of dissolved and undissolved parts of petroleum products sediment and crumb rubber, each of which harms developing fish eggs on spawning grounds and directly to higher aquatic plants, as a substrate for spawning grounds, assessment of the presence and state of plankton organisms in this lake has been carried out. Recommendations, the implementation of which is necessary to preserve natural spawning grounds, improve the conditions for the reproduction of fish and increase their reserves in Lake Senezh, were developed. The materials of the article will be useful for regional and federal authorities involved in the conservation of biological systems of artificial and natural water bodies. The described methods for assessing the impact of anthropogenic factors on the ecological status of the spawning grounds of the analyzed lake can be used when conducting similar studies in other regions.

ABSTRACT
The paper deals with the issues of information system for monitoring and assessing the ecological situation in an industrial region, based on the mathematical modelling of atmospheric pollution. Our model allows collecting live data and evaluating the possibility of pollution spread. The research object is the air composition changes that occurred under the natural and anthropegenus factors. The purpose of our research is to design an information system software for monitoring and assessing the ecological situation in an industrial region. A mathematical model, based on the hydro-thermodynamics equations, is applied to study the local atmospheric processes that occur in the boundary layer. The following were taken as original equations: equation of motion, continuity equation, heat flow equation and the equation of specific humidity. A modular software system was designed to implement the herein investigated methods and algorithms of solving the problem of the boundary and surface layers and the transfer of impurities.
Keywords: hydro-thermodynamics, atmospheric pollution, monitoring

ABSTRACT
The convenient, rapid, and economical metro has become the transportation for people fast moving in the city, releasing the long-term traffic problem, improving the urban traffic flow and function, and enhancing the boom of downtown and the satellite towns. Metro stations therefore become the important nodes for crowds’ gathering, dispersion, and transit. The past experience revealed that a lot of passengers could not find reference for evacuation when disasters occurred, but searched routes for evacuation by themselves, to result in delayed evacuation. Moreover, the lack of effective integration of disaster prevention functions of fire disaster rescue, police directing, medical care, and material delivery could easily cause the waste of rescue resources and seriously affect rescue time. Aiming at metro passengers in Shanghai, total 500 copies of questionnaire are distributed, and 378 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 76%. The research results are summarized as followings. 1. “Public awareness” is mostly emphasized among the evaluation dimensions in hierarchy 2, followed by “environment design” and “policy actions”. 2. The overall weight of the evaluation indicators reveals top 5 indicators, among 13 ones, as risk perception, sign system, confidence in government, disaster experience, and smooth traffic flow. According to the results, suggestions are proposed, expecting to enhance the quality of environment safety in metro, guarantee the life safety of metro passengers, and better complete the mass transit safety system.

ABSTRACT
Strategies for designing new contours of environmental ethics in the current conditions are differ by their focus on the key ideas of the co-evolutionary paradigm: nature is not a passive object of human activity, and a full subject of joint, mutually agreed, harmonious co-development with man and society; nature has the prospects of equal dialogue with humanity, with reality as a whole; society should understand and take for granted the expanding needs for the restoration of diverse forms and types of ecological reality which is destroyed by human economic activity. The study defines value-based regulators of the co-evolutionary paradigm, which determine the transition from the strategies of unlimited progress, unlimited economic growth to the concepts of growth limits; from the economic expansion of nature to the harmonization of environmental deterrence and prohibition principles; from the orientation of technological progress and innovation to the change to stability, equilibrium, sustainable development, taking into account the limits of growth; from the technologies of concurrence and competition to the expansion of cooperation models, humanitarian coexistence in the global space. The article reveals the modern understanding of ecological ethics essence. Substantive discourse of values and rules of the co-evolution paradigm is established. Based on the results of the study, the priorities of value regulators of the co-evolutionary paradigm in the rethinking of ontological, methodological and axiological attitudes of environmental ethics are substantiated and their effectiveness is proved. The article has theoretical and practical value in preparing in addition, publishing various human-preserving, environmental, nature exploitation codes of practice, codes of inventories based on the established value-based regulators of the co-evolution paradigm, with the management decisions in environmental activities and in the teaching of environmental ethics in secondary school and at University.

ABSTRACT
The environmental conditions leading to the bouncing-wave discharge and the subsequent electron beam remain to be investigated in more detailed future studies. The analysis of quasi-static initial electric field changes (IECs) were found at the beginning of all 24 lightning flashes detected within reversal distance (22 Negative Cloud-to-Ground (–CG) and 2 normal Intra-Cloud (IC) flashes) in a tropical storm on June 15th, 2017 close to our station in Malacca, Malaysia (2.314077° N, 102.318282° E). The IECs durations averaged 4.28 ms for –CG flashes (range 1.48 to 9.45 ms) and averaged 11.30 ms for normal ICs flashes (range 7.24 to 15.35 ms). In comparison to Florida storms, the duration of IECs for –CG and IC flashes were 0.18 ms (range 0.08 to 0.33 ms) and 1.53 ms (range 0.18 to 5.70 ms), respectively. Moreover, the magnitudes of E-change for tropical thunderstorm were 0.13 V/m (range 0.03 to 0.44 V/m) for –CG flashes and -0.20 V/m (range -0.13 to -0.27 V/m) for IC flashes. The E-change magnitudes of tropical flashes are significantly larger than Florida flashes.

ABSTRACT
To satisfy the demands for production peak, reduce personnel costs for labor, limit the increase of employees in enterprises, and focus on corporate specialty to develop the competitive advantage, enterprises would generally apply human resource flexibility strategy to achieve the objectives. The practice of human resource flexibility strategy would change work-related characteristics; besides, the effect of the system on employees would decide the effort, absenteeism, or turnover. Aiming at supervisors and employees in ecotourism, as the research objects, total 500 copies of questionnaire are distributed, and 351 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 70%. The research results reveal positive and significant effects of 1.human resource flexibility strategy on organizational citizenship behavior, 2.organizational citizenship behavior on organizational performance, and 3.human resource flexibility strategy on organizational performance. According to the results, suggestions are eventually proposed, expecting to provide essential assistance for the human resource flexibility strategy in ecotourism and assist in the sustainable development.

ABSTRACT
The relevance of the study is determined by the need to improve the methods used to assess the presence of mutagens in the coastal parts of natural and artificial reservoirs located in the immediate vicinity of the highway. The purpose of this study was to assess the presence of mutagens in the coastal part of Lake Senezh near the highway. The work carried out relates to the field of genetic ecology of water bodies, therefore, to study the toxicity of water, models that covered two levels of the effects of genotoxicants on hydrobionts were used: genomic and gene. Gene level of exposure was determined by Ames test. According to the results of the study, it is shown that both at the chromosomal and genetic level, after the exposure of test objects in the samples of water from the city Bay, mutations are revealed that genotoxicants enter the water from the highway running along the very shore of the lake and having no stormwater runoff collections. And studies to increase the size of somatid-like particles in the blood of fish also indicate that among these toxicants in the coastal areas of the lake there are carcinogens. The study of water from the central region of the lake showed that no effect of genotoxicants was observed at all genetic levels. The materials of the article will be useful for regional and federal authorities dealing with the presence of mutagens in artificial and natural reservoirs. The described assessment techniques in the coastal part of the analyzed lake can be used when conducting similar studies in other regions.

ABSTRACT
Gum Tragacanth (GT) obtained from Astragalus Gossypinus is one of the most widely used natural gums which has found applications in many areas because of its attractive features such as biodegradability, nontoxic nature, natural availability, moisture absorption and creating a network of Hydrocolloid. It also has maintenance and delivery of drugs, higher resistance to microbial attacks and long shelf-life properties. In present study, preparation nanofibers of 50 wt% Bassorin (extracted from Gum Tragacanth) has been mixed by 50 wt% Poly Ethylene Oxide and 0.01 wt% Ofloxacin (Ba/PEO/Ofx) for Electrospinning. Nanofibers coated on cotton gauze. The properties of Bassorin and produced nanofibers were examined via XRD, FTIR and SEM microscopy. The Antibacterial of nanofibers activity against Staphylococcus aureus as gram positive bacteria and Escherichia coli as a gram-negative bacteria also were investigated. Nanofibers are capable of absorbing wound’s exocrine liquid easily due to their high specific area of nanofibers which 4 to 5% more than cotton gauzes without nanofibers. When it is turned to gel by moisture sorption, the release of loaded Ofloxacin would be enhanced. The Antibacterial assay showed the cotton gauze coated with Ba/PEO/Ofx nanofibers could inhibit about 90% growth both bacterial strain on burn wound. Also, the therapeutic effect of nano-bassorin in restoring superficial second-degree burns in rats showed an accelerated effect on wound healing. Based on the results of this study, it is possible to use cotton gauzes coated with bassorin nanofibers as a suitable candidate for the treatment of second-degree superficial burns.

ABSTRACT
This paper explores the relationship between environmental tax, environmental performance and economic development in China and Sweden using time series data over the period 1985–2016. The mainly research method is constructive study method and this study mainly aims at improving environmental tax system of China. We performed ARDL Bound test to see if there is evidence of a long run relationship. Based on the results, we found that both countries have cointegrating vectors. Moreover, by setting up ARDL-ECM model we find out the triadic relation and testify the EKC theory and Double Dividend theory existing or not in China and Sweden. The Granger causality tells us environmental tax in China does not play a role in reducing carbon dioxide, environmental tax benefits to economic growth and economic growth of China will weaken growth of carbon emission but the function is not significant. To ameliorate this condition, governments should accelerate public relative environmental tax policy especially carbon tax to decrease emission of carbon without restricting growth of economy.
Keywords: environmental performance, ARDL bound, EKC theory, double dividend theory, emission of carbon

ABSTRACT
The article focuses on the study of the aspects of ecotourism development in the regions of Russia, which have a significant natural tourist potential. Based on the best practice of ecotourism identified by the Russian Ministry of Culture, the authors of the study have shown that the availability of tourist resources in a region does not imply a high level of effective tourist activity. The methodology of the study included a scientific and practical grouping of ecotourism sites and the development of an algorithm to evaluate regional practices. The expert assessment was based on general and internal criteria, allowing the identification of the best ecotourism destinations, the compilation of best practices, and the creation of a system of flaws in environmental programs. The findings of the study showed that a greater number of best ecotourism practices were identified in the regions, having a modern tourist infrastructure and apply a systematic approach to ecotourism development. According to the authors, the use of the selective approach does not only make it possible to diagnose the state of ecotourism development in the regions of the Russian Federation, but also to develop new methods of promoting the most successful ecotourism practices.

ABSTRACT
Many people worry that population growth will eventually cause an environmental catastrophe. However, the problem is bigger and more complex than. The need to include environmental criteria in the analysis of supply chains is increasingly recognized as a result both of limitations that are posed by legislation and regulations as well as of various motivations that a company may have Extensive literature is available on supply chain performance (SCP). Most of the studies examined the relationship between SCP and firm performance in both developed as well as developing countries. However, researchers did not consider the effect of SCP on economic growth, particularly in Indonesian prospective. Therefore, the objective of this study is to examine the role of supply chain performance in the economic growth of Indonesia. To address the objective, data were collected from Indonesian economists. E mail survey was used, and questionnaires were distributed to collect the data. A total number of seven hypotheses were tested with the help of the structural equation modelling technique. The finding shows that inflation has an influence on SCP. Increases in population growth decrease the SCP. Moreover, investment growth rate and population growth rate also have an effect on SCP which has a contribution to the economic growth of Indonesia. Thus, the Indonesian government must boost supply chain to enhance economic growth.

ABSTRACT
The increasing amount of municipal garbage, the shortage of land use and the excessive government finance have become the bottleneck of the disposal of municipal solid waste (MSW). As an optimized financing model, PPP can not only relieve the government financial pressure, but also get rid of the difficulty of investment in professional technology and equipment. Based on the analysis of the current situation of management in the early, middle and late stages of PPP project construction, this paper puts forward some concrete suggestions for improvement in the light of the problems existing in the treatment of municipal solid waste.
Keywords: PPP model, municipal solid waste disposal, risk avoidance, cost control

ABSTRACT
The development of modern methods of assessing the factors and effects of pollution of artificial and natural water bodies, changes in their ecological status in recent years is becoming increasingly important due to the growth of environmental threats. The purpose of this study was to assess the presence of genotoxicity of the coastal waters of Lake Senezh due to the gross impact of pollutants (the possible appearance of deletions, or fragmentation of chromosomes). To achieve the objectives of this study, the authors of the article used a model object - salivary glands of the larvae of Chironomus (Chironomus plumosus), which are widely used in laboratory studies and contain giant chromosomes in the nuclei of cells. The focus was on the research of short-term and cost-effective of test system “in vitro”, mainly bacterial. The authors of the article conducted a study of the genotoxicity of coastal water from Lake Senezh, and the coastal zone of which revealed the presence of a genotoxicant. According to the results of the study, the authors of the article concluded that, based on the revealed rearrangements of polytene chromosomes, it can be sun up that genotoxicity is present in the coastal part of the lake, which may further increase due to accumulation of pollutants. The necessity of an integrated approach in assessing the existing and potential genetic risk of genotoxicity in artificial and natural water bodies is substantiated. The materials of the article will be useful for governments at the regional and federal levels governing environmental activities in the territories of artificial and natural water bodies. The described methods for assessing the factors and consequences of the presence of genotoxicity of coastal waters can be used when conducting similar studies in other regions.

ABSTRACT
This present study examines the environmental impact of biomass energy consumption as a bioenergy resource in predicting economic growth in Indonesia in the presence of Cobb-Douglas production function. Biomass is considered a sustainable, potentially environmentally sound and a replenishable resource .The present study takes annual time series data over the time period of 1980 to 2017. The study used biomass energy consumption to examine the long run relationship between environment, economic development, capital, labor, exports of goods and services and biomass energy consumption in Indonesia. The author applied the advance econometrics to serve the purpose of environmental investigation and therefore used the ARDL bound testing cointegration for assessing the presence of long-run relationship between the variables. Utilizing the framework of production function, the results of ARDL method confirm the valid long run relationship between biomass energy consumption and economic development in Indonesia. The environmental analysis indicates that biomass energy consumption has positive and significant impact on economic growth in long and short run. Therefore, the findings of the study recommended that biomass energy consumption does not only benefit for the economic development but also helps to improve environmental development in Indonesia.
Keywords: biomass energy consumption, environmental impact, sustainable development, economic growth, Cobb-Douglas

ABSTRACT
This paper proposes a new community structure-based influence maximization algorithm (CSRR) based on the topological structure of diffusion networks for typhoon disasters. We developed the proposed algorithm by using pre-existing community detection algorithms to detect the community structures hidden in the networks and identify the TOP-M nodes which span a relatively large number of communities; We found the TOP-K nodes at large distances and used them as the initial diffusers of influence through re-ranking of the M nodes. A typhoon disaster event in the Leizhou Peninsula, China, is used as an example to validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed Algorithm. Our test results show that this algorithm provides higher diffusion speed and larger diffusion range than traditional-influence maximization algorithms in the typhoon disaster.
Keywords: typhoon disasters, online social network, influence, community structure, re-ranking, China

ABSTRACT
The article contains determination of the status of legal regulation for proper working conditions and shows environmental safety position in this system. Specifics of environmental safety as a management principle indirectly conditioned by international legal standards are studied herein. Poor legal awareness of business entities and uncoordinated efforts to ensure adequate environmental safety explain the lack of legal standards for environmental safety. The authors determined approaches to the definition of the working conditions as determinants accompanying an employee within the working environment and execution of job duties and expressed in the equipment quantity and quality, the order and methods of its application, the condition of the working premises and the environment which affect the employee’s health and working capacity during professional activity. The research issue is believed to be urgent because a vector of legal regulation of public relations associated with environmental safety has to be changed not as an external influence of the enterprise on the environment, but as an integral part of the enterprises’ activities, which currently seem an integral part of administration. While in developed countries new systems of human resource management are being introduced and advanced technologies are being used replacing human resources, in our country, environmental standards are not even developed to regulate enterprises’ activity. Obviously, it is caused not only by the status of legal regulation, but also by poop consciousness of the citizens involved in the enterprises management and operation. To study environmental safety as an object of environmental law seems to be ordinary as well as to define the essence of environmental safety as an object of commercial law. This is because the issue of environmental safety is universal, and concerns everyone. However, public relations appeared, changed, and terminated in the field of proper working conditions still stay out of attention. Environmental safety is an essential condition for each employee. As for the theoretical and legal substantiation to study the enterprise environmental safety as a prerequisite for compliance with proper working conditions, the concept of enterprise environmental safety has to be defined, the best international practices and solutions have to be analyzed, and a single concept of the stable development of proper working conditions at enterprises have to be outlined. In this regard, this article is aimed at revealing features of the environmental management system in Ukraine. The purpose of the article is to study social relations associated with the enterprise ecological safety as a precondition for compliance with required working conditions. The methodology of the research is based on the integrated approach to the study, systematization and analysis of effective practices of environmental safety at different levels of its implementation. The international experience in ensuring the environmental safety at the company for proper working conditions, particularly, the experience of Japan, France, and the United Kingdom is described herein. The article seems to be useful for researchers concerned with ecological safety, labor protection and implementation of an effective environmental management system, fixed at the regulatory level.

ABSTRACT
This paper has structured the simultaneous equations including the human capital development, economic indicators and environmental quality in the period from 2002 to 2016. Acknowledging the economic value of services helps to understand that we are part of nature and have a duty to live responsibly. Human capital is widely viewed as playing an essential role in the creation of wealth and economic growth, however, our understanding of the relationship between environmental quality and other elements of human capital is just emerging. There is a strong correlation between the GDP / Oil Price and human capital expenditures (r = 0.83). Correlation between the state spending on human capital development and the GDP growth (r = 0.995) is higher than if the first variable was family spending (r = 0.9). There is a strong inverse interrelation between the level of poverty is society and total expenditure aimed at human capital (r = -0.95). The hypothesis saying that investment in human capital return in 2-4 years was not exactly true. From the econometrical result, it is concluded that there is a significantly negative relationship between environmental quality and the imbalance of economic indicators; the improvement of human capital can reduce the detrimental effects from the differences in income distribution and better the environmental quality.
Keywords: human capital, environmental quality, revenues of population, developing economy, autocorrelation analysis

ABSTRACT
Daily PM2.5 and water-soluble inorganic ions (NH4+, SO42-, NO3-, Cl-, Ca2+, Na+, K+, Mg2+) were collected in Hongshan Air Monitoring Station in China University of Geosciences (Wuhan) (30°31′N, 114°23′E) from March 3 to April 9 in 2017. PM2.5 was collected using medium flow membrane filter samplers. And the ions were determined by ion chromatography. Then, the Positive Matrix Factorization method (PMF) and the HYSPLIT were selected to analyze the PM2.5 pollution sources. The average mass concentration of PM2.5 was found to be 101.34±31.52 µg/m3. And the average mass concentrations of the 8 ions was 58.88 µg/m3, with the order as NH4+>SO42->NO3->Cl->Ca2+> Na+>K+>Mg2+. Among them, NH4+, SO42- and NO3- were the major components of water-soluble ions in PM2.5 with their sum took 97% of the total ions concentrations. The PMF results showed that the following 7 PM2.5 pollution sources decreased in order of secondary nitrate (23%) > coal combustion (18%) > biomass burning (15%) > traffic source (13%) > secondary ammonium (12%) > road dust (10%) > sea salt (9%). HYSPLIT back trajectories described the four prevailing airflow directions included E, ES, S and NE directions that affect PM2.5 concentrations in a spatial scale during the observing period. Meanwhile, the wind from NW and N directions might facilitate the dispersion of the pollutant.

ABSTRACT
The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the increasing risks of global and local environmental crises put forward new demands to ensure national, economic, political, public ecological safety, including ecological safety of the educational space. The right to a favorable environment is one of the fundamental rights of citizens; therefore, ensuring ecological safety and comfort of the educational environment for the formation of a person focused on harmonious interaction with nature and protected from environmental threats becomes very important. The purpose of the study is aimed at the analysis of different approaches to the ecological safety of the University educational environment, the identification of mechanisms and conditions of the very process. The results of the study reveal that the system of ecological safety of the University educational environment is the combination of regulatory, training, educational, medical, recreational activities, aimed at harmonious interaction of man with the biosphere and the ecosphere. The ecological safety of the educational environment is determined by the compliance degree of the actual parameters of the environment ecological state with their optimal indicators for the preservation of the health of the educational process participants. The main elements of the mechanism to ensure environmental safety of the University educational environment are revealed: a comprehensive environmental assessment of the University and its surrounding area, environmental monitoring and effective management decisions in this area.

ABSTRACT
Breastfeeding offers society not only improved health of children and mothers but also economic and environmental benefits. Breastfeeding does not waste scarce resources or create pollution. Breast milk is a naturally-renewable resource that requires no packaging, shipping, or disposal. The present study investigates how breastfeeding influences environment and mother health throughout the early parenting years. This research also compares natural course of the carpal tunnel syndrome during the first 6 months after delivery in women feeding their children using formula and breastfeeding mothers. This study was conducted in 50 pregnant women with symptoms and signs of CTS (carpal tunnel syndrome). After delivery and confirming the CTS, women were classified in two groups: breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding. Follow- up of clinical and electro diagnostic of women were done in first 6 months after delivery. Research findings indicated a positive and significant relationship between breastfeeding and environmental protection. Other findings showed that complete recovery in breastfeeding, non-breastfeeding and all women was 10.7%, 52.9% and 26.7% respectively. Partial recovery in breastfeeding and non-breastfeeding women was 71.4% and 47% respectively. Complete recovery in mild stage in breastfeeding, non-breastfeeding and all women was 22.2%, 57.1% and 33.3% respectively. Complete recovery in moderate and severe stages in all women was 23.3%. Rate of complete recovery to partial recovery in non-breastfeeding women was 1.7 times more than breastfeeding women. Findings of the study showed that relief of symptoms and reduction of severity of CTS and impact of hormonal and environmental changes on it, is higher in women who feed their children on formula than those who breastfeed their children. Pregnancy related CTS would not usually resolve after delivery and must be followed-up by clinical symptoms and electro diagnostic studies. Hormonal changes during lactation, repetitive motions, excessively flexed wrist positions, and maternal ecology effects during breastfeeding may be causing aggravated pregnancy related CTS after delivery.

ABSTRACT
For construction stakeholders to fully embrace sustainability, its long-term benefits and associated risks need to be identified through holistic approaches. Consensus among key stakeholders is very important to the improvement of the ecological performance of industrialized building systems (IBS), a building construction method gaining momentum in Malaysia. Sustainable construction has become an increasing concern in the Malaysian construction industry nowadays. One of the approach by the Malaysian Government to enhance the ecology or sustainability is through the implementation of IBS in the construction projects. IBS has been introduced in Malaysia since year 1960s and many industries players and academics acknowledge the advantages of IBS. Nevertheless, there have several obstacles faced in order to increase the implementation of IBS and most of the obstacles are rooted from the issues of readiness. To change from conventional or traditional method to a modern method of construction or IBS is not an easy to execute. The key point of the change is a readiness and how to ready for change. Therefore, this highlights the factors which are the key readiness factors to improve sustainable construction through the implementation of IBS. This paper used qualitative approach and interview as a research technique in data collection process. Finding from data interview and literature review, there are three key factors that influence readiness in the implementation of IBS. The key factors are suitability, knowledge and ability. The output can also be used as a guideline for construction players towards the betterment of IBS implementation by introducing the factors that should be emphasized to make sure they ready to implement IBS and get advantages from it.

ABSTRACT
This study applies the pooled least squares (PLS) and fixed effect (FE) ordinary least square (OLS) to estimate the influence of disposable income, population density, scale of letters and visits, trade freedom, and human investment scale on the use and development of alternative energy in China, especially hydrogen-based renewable energy. Evidence shows that when the public cannot stand the polluted environment, it would prompt the government to develop and invest in cleaner energy. It shows that with the increase of the negative impact of environmental pollution on people’s lives and welfare, the public’s awareness of environmental protection will increase, and more and more people will actively participate in environmental protection. This public awareness can stimulate the government to carry out deeper development of alternative energy.

ABSTRACT
Modern civilization is characterized by rapid changes, making increased demands on the person in terms of his adaptation to the surrounding society. Therefore, the subject of the theoretical analysis presented in this article was such concepts as resilience and hardiness, which are close in meaning and characterize a person’s potential in coping with difficult life situations. In the article the authors substantiate the importance of studying the psychological aspects of the interdisciplinary problem of the person’s interaction with the environment. Interest in this problem is explained, among other things, by the aggravation of the global environmental problems of mankind, the need for psychological support to realize the concept of “sustainable development”. The research areas in Western psychology are analyzed, united by a common scientific problem. They have some intersection areas in the subject and methodology: environmental psychology, eco-psychology, psychology of interaction with the environment and psychology of sustainable development. The authors consider the polysemy of the concept “ecology”, which is widely used in current psychological discourse. It is asserted that the correlation of the context of foreign and Russian research will contribute to a more active involvement of psychologists in solving real problems of a person’s interaction with the environment.

ABSTRACT
In our day-to-day life due to the usage of more number of vehicles there arises an increasing demand and a big challenge to control the traffic in Vehicular Ad-hoc Network (VANET) which is considered to be a major environmental concern. Generally, the traffic alert information is imparted to vehicles as V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle) or V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) communication medium. The VANET is effectively a subset of MANET (Mobile Adhoc Network). It is a self-forming network which can function without any centralized control. This paper mainly concentrates on enhancing the efficiency, performance and confidentiality in transferring the traffic alert messages ensuring that the data integrity is not lost. In the existing system, the entire information (like vehicle id, location, and position) are transmitted together to other vehicles which leads to major attacks and thereby the confidentiality of the system is compromised (like tracking of vehicles etc). VAMD (VANET-based Ambient Message Dissemination) scheme is thereby proposed so as to support secured dissemination of traffic messages and to filter only the traffic alert messages. SP (Service Provider) is introduced in addition to RSU (Road Side Unit) to deliver the value added services to ongoing vehicles only on demand. It also helps for an efficient, secure, and privacy-preserving algorithm to smoothen the progress of vehicular node participation. In addition, it increases the number of forwarders to participate in the message dissemination.
Keywords: environmental protection, reliability, clarity, secure message dissemination

ABSTRACT
Compared with the world’s major forest products trading countries, China’s forest products industry still has relatively high carbon emission intensity. Based on the environment Kuznets curve model of the global value chain, the paper uses the MRIO model to decompose the carbon emissions of China, focusing on the carbon emission intensity of the forest products industry, and calculating the value chain participation index and value chain position indicators of the forest products industry. It is found that both the wood processing industry and the paper printing and publishing industry value chain participation have a significant impact on carbon emission. Because of great significance to the energy conservation and emission reduction of China’s forest products industry, policy implications are to improve the status of division of labor in the value chain and to achieve green economic development by absorbing, developing and adopting more green technologies.
Keywords: carbon emission, global value chain, forest products, wood processing, paper printing

ABSTRACT
The authors substantiate in the article the importance of paying attention to the environmental direction in psychology. They also reveal the significance of perceiving the environment for the formation of an ecocentric position. The conclusions have been drawn that domestic science is just beginning to show interest to this area of research, which undoubtedly requires further and deeper investigation. The ecological approach to the study of the human psyche in natural, “real”, “ecological” conditions is presented, in all its diversity influencing the functioning of its variables. Theoretical approaches have been considered in the main research areas of environmental psychology - the study of spatial cognition, behavior, perception of the environment quality, human reactions to the interaction with the environment and the resulting stress. The authors also presented the study of the formation of the child’s psyche in the process of interaction with the environment as a system, the urban environment, the psychological consequences of natural disasters and man-made disasters. The article will be useful to students of environmental and psychological programs of study, as well as specialists in the field of social psychology, to teachers and parents.

ABSTRACT
Malaysia has been actively providing accessibility in the environmental built since the country signed the ‘Proclamation on the Full Participation and Equality of People with Disabilities in the Asia-Pacific Region’ in 1994. The aim of this research is to evaluate design practice compliances to accessibility legislation and design requirements in Malaysia. With regards of the increasing disability rates with age, ageing population have a significant impact on the needs of housing to be designed for future. The government regulation concerning housing design for ageing and disabled set to ensure a degree of access to their home. The role and relevance of the legislation and design requirements addressing the issue is to be practiced in the housing projects in Malaysia. On the strength of the legislations and design requirements, the analysis examines how Malaysia are practicing design solutions for housing accessibility, which encourages ageing in place. The results further reveal that such requirements was not used in the design practice and construction of housing projects in Malaysia. The outcomes are discussed considering the design requirements and concepts which can partly clarify competent design for the ageing population.

ABSTRACT
The Yellow River Delta, one key area for develop and protect the Yellow River Basin, is an important part of maintaining the Yellow River healthy. Affected by climate change and human activities, the flux of water and sand from the Yellow River has changed dramatically since the half of the last century. The total incoming water decreased in the Yellow River had led the large-scale erosion in the Yellow River Delta. The land resources reduce had seriously affected the regional stability and the effective operation of wetland ecosystems. this paper used the remote sensing technology which can timely and accurately reflect the dynamic evolution of the coastline, combined the data from the Lijin station, interpreted and recognized the remote sensing images, analyzed the erosion of the coastline of the Diaokou River after the diversion of the Yellow River, the recovery of coastline after ecological replenishment and the silting process of the Qingshuigou river after the diversion. Results: In the Diaokou River, the erosion area of the sand mouth is about 2.826 km2, the siltation area is about 3.156 km2, and the net siltation area is 0.33 km2, and the western convex bank is mostly eroded, the eastern concave bank is mostly silted; In the Qingshuigou River, the total land accretion area showed an increasing trend, the increment of land area was 300 km2 and the average sedimentation rate was 7.56 km2yr-1. This results can provide scientific theoretical basis for wetland ecological construction and management methods in the Yellow River Delta.

ABSTRACT
This article presents the results of the study of personality resources as an integral characteristic. The definition of the concept of harmonious development and quality of life of an individual has been given. Three components have been identified in the systemic determination structure of personality: individual properties as prerequisites for harmony of personality; lifestyle and quality of life as an indicator of harmony of an individual and joint activities as the foundation to realize the individual’s life in the system of social relations. A personality resource is expressed in four areas: spirituality; contacts (relations); achievements; the future (dreams, ideals). The psychological resource of personality is determined by: the formation of the intellectual, emotional and behavioral spheres of a person’s life activity; the balance (proportionality) of the development of intellectual, emotional and behavioral spheres of a person’s life activity; integration (close interrelation and internal consistency) of the intellectual, emotional and behavioral spheres of a person’s life activity. In addition, the sphere of personal activity is determined by the manifestation of complexes of psychological personality traits occurring in intra- and interpersonal aspects. The identification of intellectual, emotional and behavioral aspects allowed us to describe the characteristic manifestations of personality in these spheres of life. The foundation of the external, intrapersonal aspect in each of the areas is the presence of diverse experience, enshrined in the relevant skills. The foundation of the interpersonal aspect in each of the spheres is the availability of experience in the realization of internal psychological resources by a person when interacting with the outside world.
Keywords: ecological and eco-psychological approach, a psychological resource of personality, quality of life, an integral characteristic of personal development, personal potential

ABSTRACT
Survival of Anti-Japanese War human landscape resource in Guilin urgently demands certain space to carry it. 141 Anti-Japanese War human landscape resources are incorporated in to 9 fundamental types, 6 sub-types and 3 main types of “The Classification, Investigation and Evaluation of Tourism Resources”; as for the latter, it can be further subdivided into 11 types. By settling and complementing the existing classification results, “A Classified Catalog of Anti-Japanese War human landscape resources” was also formulated. Additionally, it was also found that the ontology of these resources was featured with a rich number, a full range of varieties and unique values; and, for them as a colony, an X-shaped radioactive structure that was formed by “One Center, Two Mainlines & Two Minor Lines” and distributed against mountains or along the river was presented. According to such characteristics and analysis on issues related to the ontology space and Colony space, it is deemed in this study that: 1) there exist some ontology of construction expansion, original feature exhibition, fusion & extension, and reconstruction & preservation and reuse, and 2 spatial demands including distance-based combination and event-based correlation as far as such resources as a colony are concerned; 2) there are 3 spot spatial response modes that cover the construction of individual and composite space as well as the activation of the original space, and 2 syntagmatic space response modes of bond correlation and historical context. As for individual space, it consists of site protected space, site presented space, site memorial space and bell-type protection space, while the composite space is associated with original feature exhibition + venue space and original feature exhibition + park space, and the original space activation is involved with space function continuation and transformation; 3) a conservation and utilization structure system of “1 Museum of the War of Resistance, 5 Cultural Lines of the War of Resistance and 44 Key Construction Spots” can be established. Research achievements of this paper not only lay a foundation for compiling the planning of Anti-Japanese War human landscape resource conservation and utilization in Guilin, but also facilitate further facilitate sustainable development of these resources.

ABSTRACT
With the rapid popularization of mobile Internet technology, the circulation of fresh agricultural products in China has entered the era of mobile E-commerce. This study adopted questionnaires and took the fresh agricultural products producers and consumers in an inland province as the research object. In view of the representative problems of “dull sale, difficult selling and expensive purchasing” in the process of the circulation of fresh agricultural products in China, the building of sales channels, cost control and consumer decision-making are studied. Besides, some policy suggestions on the feasibility of building mobile E-commerce platform for fresh agricultural products are put forward: the building of mobile E-commerce platform for fresh agricultural products requires the local government to strengthen organizational leadership and top-level design in a timely manner, improve the transmission mechanism of agricultural information intermediary, and perfect the organization of local agricultural information service. In this process, the role of local colleges and universities serving the local economy should be fully realized and the advantages of industry-university-research cooperation should be brought into play, so as to solve the problems existing in the building of the mobile E-commerce platform for fresh agricultural products, such as weak foundation of rural information service, poor access to farmers information, and difficulty in effectively meeting the demand for information.

ABSTRACT
This article describes the process of psychological and pedagogical follow-up of participants in an inclusive educational environment from the standpoint of the eco-psychological approach. The emphasis is placed on building a special type of interaction with students, directed to ensuring their subjective position in the educational space, taking account of the peculiarities of the environment. The following support strategies have been proposed: developing and formative ones. The developing follow-up strategy is focused on creating conditions that stimulate the child’s attitude with self-analysis towards difficulties. The formative strategy includes the development and implementation of programs for the formation of social skills and skills of constructive behavior in difficult situations.
Keywords: ecological and eco-psychological approach, students with limited abilities, inclusive educational environment, psychological and pedagogical follow-up, adaptation resources

ABSTRACT
Cloud services is used by many organizations and it has captured a major segment of the competitive market today. The green, or eco-friendly, aspect of the cloud is one of the most multifaceted advantages of cloud computing. The environmental advantages of cloud services include: reducing a firm’s carbon footprint, data center efficiency, dematerialization, saving green, educed electricity use and so on. Even with its unprecedented growth, the question of security is also of paramount concern among the users of cloud services. There is a huge demand for new protocols and tools in order to enhance and assess the security strength of its service. Notwithstanding the present methods used for encrypting the files in cloud they are not highly efficient. Hence this enhanced technique is proposed to overcome all these challenges and improve the environmental benefits. In this method, initially the authentication of the user is verified. Once the authentication of the user is verified successfully dual encryption is performed on the cloud stored files using ElGamal cryptosystem and Hyper Elliptical Curve Cryptography (HECC). The aim for using the proposed system is for analysis of security which can be enhanced through the technique of sharing many keys amongst the two parties. Integer selection is an important attribute which defines the proper security to the cloud storage. For ensuring high security, this integer selection is performed by utilizing BAT algorithm. After the encryption, the suggested technique uses the HECC algorithm. In HECC, key generation is done by point addition and point doubling based elliptic curve cryptography. The dual encryption in this method provides efficient security to the cloud data. The proposed technique performance is evaluated in reference with environmental protection, storage cost, computation cost and execution time and is implemented in JAVA. The experimental results show the efficacy of the system as it utilizes only less time for both encryption and decryption of sensitive data.

A lot of countries have optimistically expected the achievement of economic development together with environmental protection; unfortunately, the natural ecological environment seems not to afford the highly economic use. No matter how good the products of a high-tech business, the damage of the production process or use process on the environmental ecology would be a key factor in the selection of orders. Nevertheless, in face of such a green impact, the attitudes and coping methods would greatly affect the future transformation and the enhancement of competitiveness of high-tech industry. Aiming at high-tech industry in Taiwan, total 320 copies of questionnaire are distributed, and 254 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 79%. The research results summarize significantly positive effects of 1. information technology on environmental management, 2. environmental management on firm competitiveness, and 3. information technology on firm competitiveness. According to the results, suggestions are proposed in this study, expecting to establish the integrated structure management with environmental protection and optimal quality in the product production or service process of high-tech industry as the required advantage and condition for future market competition.

ABSTRACT
Environmental responsibility is an integrated part of responsible supply chain management and involves several steps.The objective of this study is to investigate the role of ecological factors in the supply chain. Therefore, this study examined the role of GDP growth rate, the degree of openess, the rate of exchange and balance of payment effect on foreign direct investment (FDI) and FDI effect on the supply chain. Different national and international frameworks and tools guide companies in their work with sustainability and environmental supply chain management. UN’s Global Compact is one of the main international frameworks. In this study, data were collected from Indonesian ecologists. Email addresses of Indonesian ecologists were collected and email was sent to them to get responses. Only one hundred email addresses were found of various ecologists. Therefore, the total sample size was one hundred. From total one hundred, sixty ecologists responded. Outcomes of the study show that increases in GDP growth rate, the degree of openness and balance of payment increases the nationwide supply chain performance. Decreases in GDP growth rate, the degree of openness and balance of payment decreases the nationwide supply chain performance. However, increases in the rate of exchange decrease the FDI growth rate which ultimately decreases the supply chain practices.
Keywords: supply chain, ecological factors, ecologists, the degree of openess, the rate of exchange, the balance of payment, FDI

ABSTRACT
The relevance of the study is due to the fact that the development of human civilization has reached a stage of a qualitatively new state of global economic, political and social processes caused by the threat of local and global environmental disasters, the cause of which lies in the negative consequences of the existing ill-considered nature management and development of the techno-sphere on the basis of the worldview of the industrial revolution and the consumer society. The third Millennium should be the Millennium of the entry of the biosphere and human civilization into the noosphere to ensure the conditions for their preservation and further development on the principles of ecological and cultural consistency. Moreover, the most important role in the success of this process is the modernization of the system of higher education based on the noosphere concept. Purpose of the study: this article is aimed at theoretical analysis of the features of the noosphere concept implementation in the methodology of modern environmentally oriented higher education. The study results: it is established that the modern ecologically oriented higher education from the point of view of the noosphere concept is a natural, socially and culturally oriented system of obtaining, accumulation, transferring and updating of knowledge, skills and abilities of interaction in the system man – society – environment. Its content should integrate knowledge from various scientific fields: philosophy, ecology, psychology, biology, physiology, history and cultural studies. The methodology of such education should be based on the principles of greening, systematization, harmonization, humanization, instrumentality, personal orientation, and advanced development, simplicity of knowledge, efficiency and potential intellectual security. Practical significance: the Materials of the article are of theoretical and practical value for the development of educational and methodical complexes in various disciplines of higher education, taking into account the noosphere concept, teachers’ training and retraining programs, as well as programs aimed at the formation of new environmentally appropriate worldview and value-based attitudes among the contemporary youth.

ABSTRACT
Hydrodynamic and mass transport in a split cylinder has been investigated. Tap water and Carboxy Methyl Cellulose with different concentration (0.1 to 0.7 %w/v) were used as test fluids. Air flow rate was varied from 5 to 50 lpm. It was found that the gas hold up is gradually or linearly increases with increasing of air flow rate for Newtonian fluid systems. In case of non Newtonian fluids, the gas hold up is increased with air flow rate gradually, but not in linearly. Similarly the gas hold up for non Newtonian fluid is decreased with increasing concentration at the same time the gas hold up also increased in the range of 0.3 to 0.5%. A correlation has been developed for time of mixing and mass transport in a split cylinder reactor.
Keywords: split cylinder reactor, gas holdup, mixing time, carboxymethyl cellulose

ABSTRACT
Green innovation has become the topic of corporate sustainable development. Countries in the world formulate environmental regulation to drive corporate green innovation, while enterprises are getting lost in the selection of innovation strategy in environmental regulation. This study intends to discuss the effect of environmental regulation on exploration innovation, exploitation innovation, and green innovation performance. Based on the questionnaire survey of 220 green manufacturing enterprises in Pearl River Delta in China, Structural Equation Model is used for the analysis. The empirical results reveal insignificant effects of environmental regulation on green innovation performance that environmental regulation does not directly affect green innovation performance; exploration innovation requires more support of environmental regulation than exploitation innovation, while exploitation innovation shows better green innovation performance than exploration innovation; and, dual interaction between exploration and exploitation appears positive and remarkable effects on green innovation performance. As a result, an enterprise should develop dual interaction between exploration and exploitation, and environmental regulation is the drive and guarantee of green innovation.
Keywords: environmental regulation, exploration innovation, exploitation innovation, green innovation performance, green manufacturing enterprises

ABSTRACT
Ecosystems are extraordinarily complex assemblages of plants and animals interacting with each other, with the physical environment, and, increasingly, with humans. Ecology is the scientific field that seeks to understand ecosystems. Ecologists are turning to computer models to help them make their models of ecosystem processes concrete and to provide predictions about the future of the ecosystem. Computer models allow rapid testing of ecology ideas by simulation and provide the means to run “what-if” scenarios that would be difficult or impossible otherwise. Petri Net Generating Triangular Arrays were introduced by Kuberal et al. (2015) to generate Triangular Arrays using Petri Net structure. A new model to generate Octagonal Arrays using Petri Net Structure has been defined and it is proved that this model generate Octagonal Array Languages. The catenation of an arrowhead to a b-octagon results in a similar b-octagon. This concept has been used in Octagonal Array Token Petri Net Structure (OATPNS).
Keywords: computational ecology, Octagonal Array Language, Petri nets, array tokens, arrowhead catenations

ABSTRACT
Computational Sustainability is a nascent and growing field of computing that is concerned with the application of computer science principles, methods, and tools to problems of environmental and societal sustainability. This is not a one-way street, however, because sustainability problems force computer scientists into new theory, as well as new practice. In study of theory of computation, any computational model is always tested for its efficiency. A new computing model called P system is the one such efficient model which was introduced by Gh.Păunto generate string languages. The framework of the P system is like living cells in a biological system. Array rewriting P system is a model among variants of P system in which arrays are rewritten by the rules of array grammars. Conditional communication is a technique used for communication. Petri net is a model is used for dynamic systems. Array token Petri nets are the models which can generate array languages. In this paper parallel iso-array rewriting P systems are introduced with examples. The generating power of these P systems is examined with the generating power of some existing P system models. Also the computational power of these P systems is compared with the computational power of an existing petri net called triangular array token petri net.

ABSTRACT
Under the effects of economic globalization and environmental protection & social problems in the post-crisis era, the corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy and activities are gradually emphasized in multinational manufacturing enterprises. Accordingly, the theoretical relationship among CSR strategy, CSR activities, and operational performance is proposed in this study, and the moderation effect of external environmental management on the relationship is further discussed. Based on the survey data of 598 manufacturing enterprises from 22 countries and regions for 2013 International Manufacturing Strategy Survey (IMSS VI), the empirical research results reveal (1)significantly positive effects of CSR strategy on internal CSR activities and external CSR activities of multinational manufacturing enterprises, (2)remarkably positive effects of internal CSR activities and external CSR activities on efficient performance, flexible performance, and cost performance in the operational performance of multinational manufacturing enterprises, and (3)partially notable moderation of external environmental management on the relationship between CSR activities and operational performance of multinational manufacturing enterprises. On one hand, this study expands the theoretical research on corporate social responsibility; on the other hand, it presents certain practice value of the formulation and practice of CSR strategy in multinational manufacturing enterprises.

ABSTRACT
In order to explore the law of multi-fracture propagation in cluster fracturing of horizontal wells, considering the stress shadows between fractures, a similarity numerical model for full three-dimensional fluid-solid coupling hydraulic fracturing was established, and the extended finite element method was used to solve the problem. The effects of rock mechanics properties, fracture interval and construction parameters on fracture propagation law were analyzed by the control variable method. The results show that with the increase of elastic modulus, the width of fractures on both sides and intermediate fractures decreases, while the length of multi-fractures increases. With the increase of displacement, the width of fractures on both sides increases first and then decreases, the width of intermediate fractures decreases first and then increases, the length of fractures on both sides increases gradually, and the length of intermediate fractures decreases slightly. With the increase of fracture interval, the width of fractures on both sides and in the intermediate increases little, but the length increases obviously. When the interval exceeds 30 m, the interaction between fractures is very small, and the fractures show a trend of parallel propagation. The research content of this paper has guiding significance for optimizing cluster interval in staged fracturing.

ABSTRACT
This paper focused on the application of three-dimensional electrolysis in treatment of Malachite Green (MG) dye waste water. Regular influence on the reduction of COD by the pH value of the system, the impressed voltage, the type and concentration of electrolyte, the aeration and the electrolysis time was investigated in the experimental part. As a result, the optimal technological conditions of the degradation process were determined. Furthermore, to explore interaction of the parameters, the experiment selected five factors including voltage, electrolyte concentration, time for orthogonal test. For another, based on the analysis results of the intermediates in the electrolysis process by Ultraviolet (Uv) light scanning method, the degradation process of MG could be divided into three stages inferentially described as follows: the side chains on the benzene fell off; then the ring structure of the benzene cracked in the electric field; ultimately carbonaceous organic matters with small molecules were oxidized into carbon dioxide. The exploratory studies provide fundamental data for the three-dimensional electrolysis of dye wastewater treatment.

ABSTRACT
Rapid economic development has brought prosperity to cities, but it also caused some negative impact on cities, such as the lack of cultural characteristics in some cities. It is just because of the negligence of architectural landscape culture that caused this scarcity of cultural characteristics which are usually seen from the inner side of the city to the outside. Therefore, this study will start with culture, combine the feeling-values of the general public to explore the sensual intents of iconic elements in some emerging cities. In this study, eight iconic culture landscapes were selected as research samples through literature analysis and questionnaire surveys. In addition, a case study was conducted in Shenzhen which is an emerging city in China. 110 suitable sample adjective phrases were collected, after which 44 the most suitable adjective phrases were selected by 10 experienced designers and relevant professionals. Later on, the samples were screened through the Likert Scale by the degree of preference. Questionnaire results were analyzed in factor analysis by SPSS (statistical software), from which six groups of iconic element visual intent factors were obtained. They were then reintegrated and renamed. After a descriptive analysis of the renamed six groups of factors, a radar chart of the corresponding iconic elements was made to show the perception images of the general public. Hopefully, the results of this research can provide some references for relevant professionals and designers in planning cities environment, making city business cards, and promoting city’s international reputation.

ABSTRACT
Considering the bullwhip effect, in a two-echelon supply chain consisting of one single supplier and multiple retailers, the vertical and horizontal cooperation game for carbon emission reduction is analyzed under carbon tax scheme. This paper investigates four different decision models: decentralized decision, vertical cooperation, horizontal cooperation and vertical and horizontal cooperation. After analyzing and comparing the optimal solutions of different models, it is found that the vertical and horizontal cooperation is always a dominant strategy for the supply chain in terms of both of cost and carbon emissions. Then, the collaborative condition of the vertical and horizontal cooperation game is analyzed. The result shows that the higher the fixed construction cost of warehouse is, the stronger the cooperation motivation of supply chain members is. However, the higher carbon tax rate will hinder the cooperation and bring greater carbon emissions. Furthermore, a cost allocation scheme is proposed based on proportion rule to achieve Pareto improvement for supplier and retailers. Although the vertical and horizontal cooperation cost game is not necessarily concave, it is permutationally concave game.

ABSTRACT
This study evaluates the transport of leaching water infiltration from waste rock piles on the surrounding groundwater, using Anhui, China, as an example. Based on a detailed analysis of hydrogeological conditions in the study area, a numerical groundwater model was established to simulate the transport of a specific pollutant (manganese). The distribution and levels of manganese pollution in the groundwater environment caused by the infiltration of leachate were assessed for different operating conditions using MODFLOW and MT3D module. The results show that without anti-seepage measures in place in the waste rock piles, the concentration of manganese in the center point of the rock pile reaches the maximum allowable value of 0.1mg/l by the second year. The maximum horizontal diffusion distance was 188 m. The concentration of manganese in the center point reached 0.45 mg/l by the tenth year, which is 4.5 times more than the allowable value, and the diffusion area was approximately 0.06 km2. As a result of leachate infiltration, bedrock aquifers in the study area will be polluted. However, if anti-seepage measures are in place with an impermeable layer with a vertical permeability coefficient of 1×10−7cm/s, then the maximum concentration of manganese in the center of the waste rock piles is reduced to 0.08 mg/l by the tenth year. This is within the allowable limits. Therefore, we concluded that leachate from the waste rock piles will lead to high levels of manganese in the underlying aquifers, and that anti-seepage measures must be taken to prevent this.

ABSTRACT
With the rapid development of energy internet, demand response technology provides a new solution to stabilize the active power fluctuation in power system. This paper creates the equivalent thermodynamic parameter model of an air conditioning, and then carries the Monte Carlo method to simulate residential power consumption behavior. After that, a load dispatching strategy which is based on the hierarchical group method is firstly proposed to suppress active power fluctuation in a community level power grid. At last, the simulation case is carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed strategy, through the result and the statistical data, the strategy proposed can effectively suppress the power fluctuation and shave peak for a community level power grid which contains photovoltaic power and wind power. In addition, if it was carried out in the community level power grid, the carbon emissions can be reduced and significant effectively environmental benefits can be obtained.

ABSTRACT
At the same time, the environmental and health impacts of mining on surrounding communities have been major concerns to governments, the general public and stakeholder organizations and individuals. Mining area residents living environment satisfaction has a close correlation with mining area residents’ actual needs. In order to rationally evaluate living environment satisfaction situation on mining area residents, the measure index system were constructed and an attribute mathematical evaluation model was set up. The weights of the indexes were determined by the AHP, and coal mining area residents living environment satisfaction was evaluated by setting the confidence rule according to the attribute measure values of each indicator and multiple indicators. A practical case examines this method’s validity. The evaluation results indicated that the attribute mathematical model is an effective method for mining area residents living environment satisfaction evaluation, which provides a relatively scientific and rational evaluation tools for solving such problems.

ABSTRACT
With the increasing societal awareness of environmental conservation and laws of environment protection are rolling on and on by governments around the world. Green design become a critical consideration in new product development for more and more companies. However, there are still companies that give up implementing green initiatives because the increasing cost of manufacture or materials. This study proposed that green design need to base on comprehensively consideration of environmental performance and the market value. The rough-cut life cycle assessment, which is more feasible for small and medium enterprises, replaced traditional full life cycle assessment Trade-off model was then applied to evaluate the market implementing value with benefits, opportunities, costs and risks as criteria. For green design alternatives, Gray Relational Analysis (GRA) integrated with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to rank the priority order, which provides an optimized decision-making tool for small and medium enterprises to implement green initiatives in new product design processes.

ABSTRACT
The basic idea proposed in this paper provides a novel and environmental friendly method to enhance the EK remediation of heavy metals contaminated soils. The remediation of Cd-contaminated soil is of great significance to the improvement of soil environment. As a new remediation technology, electrokinetic remediation has become a research hotspot in recent years. The test was carried out by self configuring Cd-contaminated soil to set up a hexagonal electrokinetic remediation device to study the effects of electric field strength, electrolyte types and bentonite addition on the removal rate of Cd in soils-contaminated by Cd, and further optimize the technical conditions of electrokinetic remediation. The results showed that the removal rate of total Cd was higher when the voltage intensity was 2v/cm, reaching 18.34%, so the electric field intensity was 2v/cm. Acetic acid was used as a circulating electrolyte to raise the current in the electrokinetic remediation process, which could effectively control the pH value of the cathode and reduce the concentration of Cd in the cathode. In the process of electrokinetic remediation, the addition of bentonite played a certain passivation role on all forms of Cd in soil. The highest removal rate of total Cd was 20.89%, and the energy consumption was reduced by 11.02%. Therefore, organic acids as electrolyte can not only effectively enhance the migration of Cd in soil, but also change the distribution of Cd in soil and improve the efficiency of remediation.

ABSTRACT
Ventilation storage is one of the main ways to store citrus in China. In order to overcome the influence of large temperature fluctuation in storage due to the high temperature outside, a wet curtain air conditioning system for citrus ventilation storage was proposed in this paper. The cooling and humidifying numerical models for wet curtain air conditioning system were established by using the method of computational fluid dynamics, and the micro environment test in storage had been employed for verification. The results of the numerical analysis show that: in condition of outdoor ambient temperature 20℃ and relative humidity 60%, the wet curtain air conditioning system can reduce the temperature in storage by 5℃, increase the relative humidity to 82%, and decrease the average airflow velocity to 0.2 m/s. The distribution of temperature, relative humidity and airflow velocity in the storage is well distributed.

ABSTRACT
This study has mainly focused on ecological issues of Section Heterobalanus, which contains about nine sclerophyllous alpine species and occurs mainly in the China Mountains. To investigate the population history and demography of an endemic oak species (Quercus aquigolioides, Fagaceae) from the Himalaya-Hengduan Mountains region, and elucidate how the unique climatic conditions and heterogeneous topography resulted the uplift of the QTP shaped the genetic diversity and evolutionary history of the species.We sequenced and analyzed a total 1406 base pairs from chloroplast DNA (cpDNA) trnT-L sequences for 296 individuals from 19 populations across the species’ geographic range. Based on these data, we constructed the genealogical relationships and coalescent analysis was used to test demographic hypotheses. 38 haplotypes were identified based on cpDNA variation, and of overall 38 haplotypes, 33 hyplotypes are restricted to single population. High levels of haplotype diversity (Hd=0.948) and low levels of nucleotide diversity (π=0.1976) were detected within the whole species, and a great amount of variation occurred among populations within groups (57.3%). The phylogenetic result demonstrated that Q. aquifolioides cpDNA hyplotypes have three main genetic lineages with distinct distribution. And these genetic lineages resulted by two main bottlenecks in the species took place at 9.37Ma and 8.41Ma, and they have undergone several genetic bottlenecks for a time span of ca. 9 million years. Significant interpopulation differentiation and phylogeopgraphic structure were also detected (GST=0.629, NST= 0.946, NST>GST, P<0.01), and the mismatch distribution analyses indicated a demographic equilibrium for Q. aquifolioides. But as a result of its complex topography, the overall network gave no clear indication regarding demographic process. Together with fossil evidence, the results strongly suggested that multiple microrefugia of Q. aquifolioides existing and the microrefugia were scattered throughout the present geographical range before the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM). Although this species seems to have post-glacial expansion, Q. aquifolioides did not undergo marked changes in population sizes from the late Miocene. And the uplift of the QTP contributed to the phylogeny of cpDNA hyplotypes and differentiation among the population by heterogeneous topographies and climatic change formed the uplift. The two main genetic bottlenecks at ca. 9Ma could contribute to the uplift of eastern and southern QTP at 13-8Ma and strengthen of Asian Summer monsoon at same time causing by the uplift. And several genetic differentiations at ca. 3Ma could confirm with the uplift of the QTP since 3.6Ma. It was reasonable to conclude that the Mio-Pliocene growth of the QTP and the accompanied climatic changes could account for the modern pattern of Q. aquifolioides phylogenetic structure in the HHMs region: first, the center and northern QTP drought and the different evaluation in south and east margin at 13-8Ma made the three main different lineages (NW group and other all). Then the asynchronous and heterogeneous uplifting of QTP in different regions during 9-0.7 Ma resulted to the difference time of the bottleneck in the different lineages. These findings have wide implications for understanding plant species’ responses to the uplift of QTP and climatic change with it.

ABSTRACT
As more and more citizens gradually stress on leisure activity, there is a voice to develop ecotourism. Due to the fierce competition in the market, ecological businesses have spent a large amount of advertising costs for effectively delivering product related information, expecting that consumers would know the brand and product through advertisement and further appear purchase behavior. In present study, 300 general people in Fujian Province participated in the experimental research. A half of the research objects (150 people) in the experimental group is preceded the rational advertisement experiment, and the other half (150 people) is preceded the emotional advertisement experiment. The research results are summarized as followings. 1. Rational advertising appeal presents significantly higher attitude toward advertisement than emotional advertising appeal. 2. Rational advertising appeal shows remarkably higher purchase intention than emotional advertising appeal. 3. Attitude toward advertisement reveals notably positive effects on purchase intention. According to the results, the present study proposes the following suggestions. It is expected to assist ecological businesses, through advertisement, in timely developing real advertising effectiveness, deepening consumers’ cognitive impression of the ecological business and changing their attitudes, and reinforcing consumers’ purchase intention.
Keywords: ecological industry, advertising appeal, attitude toward advertisement, purchase intention

ABSTRACT
In this paper, on the traditional village construction and the analysis of existing problems in environmental planning and design, with the policy of new countryside planning movement in the developed countries, get inspired for the Chinese traditional villages planning and design, finally get should be combined with the present national conditions and the current situation of rural reasonable planning, such as making reasonable planning and design, strengthening the traditional villages public infrastructure planning, adjust measures to local conditions. Based on the above specific Suggestions on the comprehensive planning and design of traditional villages buildings and environment, a new rural area that meets the needs of farmers in the new era is designed to avoid the appearance of large-scale demolition and construction, which will result in waste of resources. Through the analysis of the existing problems in the construction protection and environmental design of the rural traditional villages in Xuzhou, the necessity of protecting the architectural features of the traditional villages in the north of Xuzhou is expounded in combination with the protection and present situation of the Chen Lou village in Pizhou village, Xuzhou, and the protection and development strategy of the rural space environment based on the ecology is put forward.

ABSTRACT
To gain an understanding of the environmental factors that affect the growth of the bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii, the metabolism of the bacterium and the calcium carbonate precipitation induced by this bacterium to optimally implement the biological treatment process, microbial induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP), in situ. The grouting batches of nutrient solution and bacterial liquid significantly influence the curing effect of Microbial Induced Calcium carbonate Precipitation (MICP). This paper analyzed the physical and mechanical properties, and micro-structures of the sand cured by nutrient solution and bio-reaction fluids in different grouting batches, through the geotechnical test, and SEM, respectively, to explore the effect of grouting times on MICP. Grouting the bacterial of Sporosarcina pasteurii and nutrient solution intermittently, the permeability and water absorption of the bio-cemented sand decreased with the number of grouting batches, but the dry density, unconfined compression strength, and the amount of precipitated calcium carbonate increased. The apparent pore content and the average pore diameter of the SEM images also gradually decreased, indicating that the mechanical properties of the bio-cured sand have been improved. However, the solidification effect didn’t continuously increase after filling nutrient solution nine times in this study. The reason is that the concentration and activity of the residual bacteria, as well as the size and number of pores in the sand column, reduced with the increasing nutrient solution grouting batches, which slowed down the rate of precipitation reaction. Once the sand was solidified by cyclic grouting reaction fluids, the mechanical strength of the bio-cemented sand also increased with the cycle grouting batches. Since the average porosity of the sand column in the SEM image was less than 2% after cyclic filling the reaction fluids three times, the solidification effect changed in apparently with more grouting batches.
Keywords: MICP, grouting batches, sand, physical and mechanical properties, SEM, environmental factors

ABSTRACT
With the development of tourism, ecological tourism is increasingly popular. There are countless ecological tourist areas which have high similarity and unreasonable development are being developed every year. It not only does not meet diverse tourist needs, but also waste a lot of social and natural environmental resources. How to develop ecological tourism accurately and effectively not only for economic benefits, most important for reducing the waste of environmental resources. So, to enhance the effective development of ecological tourism, Miryoku Engineering was used to abstract the charm factors of it. Tea ecological tourism as a representative case to study. Firstly, the evaluation grid (EGM) method of Miryoku Engineering was used to conduct in-depth interviews with 10 experienced tourists in tea ecological tourism. Through EGM, the charm factors were extracted as 6 factors: reassuring feeling, relaxing feeling, comfortable feeling, pleasant feeling, scientific and professional feeling, and intimate feeling. Secondly, The Quantification Theory Type I (QTTI) was used to analyze the weights of the relationships between the charm factors (abstract feeling/upper level) and the specific influencing factors (original evaluation item/middle and lower levels). The results showed that the reassuring feeling, relaxing feeling, scientific and professional feeling, and intimate feeling were strongly correlated to their corresponding specific influencing factors. The strategy of creating four different feeling directions for ecological tourism was proposed. This study provides a reference for the development and planning of ecological tourism. And it hopes to help to improve the quality of tea agricultural tourism development and reduce waste of social and environment resources caused by indiscriminate development.

ABSTRACT
This study examines data collected from 462 informants in 10 provinces in Southern China to understand how changes in attitudes toward ecological protection behavior occur. In order to fully understand the characteristics of Forest Therapy consumption behavior in China and further promote the healthy development of Forest Therapy industry, this paper reviews the theoretical achievements of Forest Therapy consumption behavior at home and abroad, constructs a structural equation model guided by the theory of planned behavior, and distributes 2745 questionnaires through field and network channels. Then the paper makes an empirical analysis on the influencing factors of consumption intention, which is the demand side of Forest Therapy industry in China. The results show that: (1) The residents ‘behavior and attitude have the greatest impact on the consumption intention of Forest Therapy and. The clearer the residents’ positive cognition of Forest Therapy, the more active their behavior and attitude are, the stronger their willingness to participate in Forest Therapy; (2) the greater the external support for residents to participate in forest health, indicating that the more positive their subjective norms, the stronger their intention to consume forest health; the more active the subjective norms of residents, the stronger their own forest health consumption behavior; (3) the subjective norms of forest health have no significant impact on forest health consumption intention. (4) The stronger the residents ‘consumption intention of Forest Therapy, the more likely they are to change their consumption intention into consumption behavior.

ABSTRACT
With the development of society and economy, the output value of the service industry has accounted for greater proportion in Taiwan’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) measures, especially in the food and beverage (F&B) industry. When the homogeneity of products and services is higher, the market competition is more intense. Under these circumstances, if a restaurant wants to stand out, then it must not only maintain the relationship of existing customers, but also pay attention to society’s perception of it. Therefore, in addition to creating profits and being responsible for the interests of shareholders, enterprises must consider their attitudes toward social responsibility, so that they can achieve a balance between economy and environment. This study took the consumers of Thai Town Cuisine as the empirical subjects, collecting a total of 288 valid questionnaires for a response rate of 80%. The results of statistical analysis and various hypotheses showed that: (1) environmental management has a significant positive correlation with brand attitude; (2) brand attitude has a significant positive correlation with customer loyalty; and (3) environmental management has a significant positive correlation with customer loyalty. Based on these results, this study offers some suggestions and hopes to help managers in the F&B industry to explore how to run their business from the aspect of environmental management, improve product quality, promote customer identity to their brand, and create positive behavior and brand loyalty to the restaurant.
Keywords: F&B industry, environmental management, brand attitude, customer loyalty

ABSTRACT
Hexavalent chromium (Cr6+)-contaminated soil samples were obtained from an electroplating workshop in Jingjiang, China. Then, the Cr6+-contaminated soil was processed using reduction and stabilization methods. Six reducing agents with different remediation abilities with respect to Cr6+ contamination (iron, SSL, FeSO4, Na2HSO3, Na2S2O3, and Na2S) were tested. The most efficient reducing stabilizing agent was FeSO4; which efficiency varied with the pH, with the optimum pH being neutral or near neutral. Lastly, the effects of acidified ferrous sulfate as a reducing agent, cement as a curing agent, and the combined use of dyeing were tested. Increases in the cement content and curing age led to a marked improvement in the curing effect on the Cr6+-contaminated soil.
Keywords: six valence chromium, soil pollution, reducing agent, curing agent

ABSTRACT
Environmental hydrogen and oxygen isotopes are ideal tracers of water, as they are incorporated in the water molecules and their behaviours and variations reflect the origin of, and the hydrological and geochemical processes undergone by, natural water bodies. Water vapor source is always one of the important topics in geosciences. It is more important scientific and practical significance to carry out the identification of interaction region influenced by the low latitude water vapor channels in China, especially under the background of the global climate system changing in recent years. This paper regards the interaction region influenced possibly by both Southwest Moisture and South Sea Moisture as the research target, by means of stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer MAT253 measuring the content of hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopes of 239 effective samples at 16 samples atmospheric precipitation from April to October of 2014 in Yunnan Province and Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region between 23-24°N. We have achieved spatial pattern of δD and δ18O based on ArcGIS13.0 software by trend analysis, and demarcated boundaries between the moisture from Southwest and the moisture from South Sea. There are three main results. Firstly, spatial patterns of both δD and δ18O are consistent basically both in the whole rainy season precipitation and a rainfall process. Secondly, both rainfall factor and continental factor have affected the spatial pattern of hydrogen and oxygen stable isotopes in atmospheric precipitation. Thirdly, Southwest vapor met the South Sea vapor nearby points among Honghe, Gejiu and Meingzi, in the whole rainy season precipitation or a rainfall process. So the zone among points of Honghe, Gejiu and Mengzi is probably the region, in which both Southwest vapor and South Sea vapor interact on each other.
Keywords: Southwest moisture, South sea moisture, identify the interaction region, stable isotopic technique, environmental factors

ABSTRACT
Urban green space is an indispensable public infrastructure for residents. In China, traditional green space planning overemphasizes quantitative indicators and ignores spatial layout. The spatial accessibility assessment of green space makes up for the traditional deficiencies. Traditional accessibility studies used single data and a single method. It fails to fully consider the actual needs of residents, which results in calculation errors. Few scholars used different precision data to evaluate the same green space from multiple scales. Based on multi-source data, this paper uses the big data visualization and 2SFCA improved model to evaluate the accessibility of forty-four UGSs in Futian District of Shenzhen from the street and building scales. The results show that the calculation results of the two methods are similar; 60% of the streets in Futian District have good accessibility, but the internal differences are obvious; the research scale and data accuracy affect the calculation results significantly; the calculation results can describe the service capabilities and scope of UGSs. The results are expected to help planners improve the spatial layout of UGSs and optimize the allocation of UPGS resources.
Keywords: accessibility, network car data, 2SFCA improve model, multi-scale, data accuracy, supply and demand perspective

ABSTRACT
The imbalance between water supply and demand has become prominent increasingly, and the quantity and quality of water has limited the social and economic development. Public participation can solve this problem effectively. Based on the existing research, the impacts of citizens’ water behavior are put forward. Through the application of paper inquiry, the relationship among water knowledge, water attitude and water behavior is analyzed. It is proved that water knowledge, water emotion and water responsibility have significant effect on water behavior. The mediating role of water emotion and water liability in water knowledge and water behavior is confirmed. For the government and social organizations, in order to ensure the sustainable use of water and regulate citizens’ water behavior, not only water knowledge, but emotion and responsibility should be propagated.

ABSTRACT
Because of the size and complexity of CHANS (also known as human-environment, human-nature, or social-ecological systems) at regional and global scales, researchers interested in their management are continuously searching for indicators of the state and trajectory of these systems relative to sustainability targets, e.g., indicators such as a system’s resilience to perturbations. The sustainable utilization of natural resources is the theme of global economic and social development future. The introduction of information entropy and the application of entropy law make entropy into the field of sustainable development. Every process of exploitation and utilization of natural resources can be regarded as the process of the transformation of the latent entropy into negative entropy capital through human labor. Through the analysis of the management of natural resources from the perspective of system theory, the Hopfield network is used to put the negative entropy in the nature of natural resource management. The establishment in the minimization of entropy increase based on natural resources management of the objective function and constraints, and optimize energy function through the Hopfield, and draw relevant conclusions.

ABSTRACT
In order to explore the effect of moving anode polygonal electrodes in restoring cadmium contaminated soil, the cadmium contaminated soil was prepared at laboratory and a regular hexagon electrode electric restoration experimental device was set up in this study. The repair effect of fixed anode method and approaching anode method was compared and analyzed under the condition of constantly shortening the distance between anode and cathode and the electric field strength being 2 V·cm-1. The results showed that the current variation trend of the fixed anode method was similar to that of the approaching anode method. The variation of pH value of both was basically the same, and the decrease trend of pH value of approaching anode method was significant at the later stage of restoration. After 120 h of electric restoration, for both cases, the content of Cd residue near the anode and in the middle of the soil chamber changed slightly, while that near the cathode increased; the weak acid extraction state and reducible state of Cd near the anode and in the middle of the soil chamber decreased significantly than that before the restoration. The removal rate of Cd at type A2 sampling points by fixed anode method was 68%, and the removal rate of Cd at these points was 95% by approaching anode method. The energy consumption of the approaching anode method was reduced by 65% compared with that of the fixed anode method. The approaching anode method is more effective.

ABSTRACT
Overuse of chemical fertilizer has increased costs and damaged the agriculture ecological environment. Overuse of fertilizers in citrus (Citrus L.) orchards is becoming more serious in China. To understand the current status of farmer fertilization practice and the potential for fertilizer saving in citrus orchards in China would be meaningful for realizing the national policy of zero-growth in chemical fertilizer use. Therefore, the published literatures and statistical data were summarized to quantify the gap of citrus yield and fertilizer use efficiency among different countries, and to evaluate the potential for fertilizer saving in citrus production under different scenarios, and finally to suggest the strategies for both high yield and high efficiency of citrus production. The result showed that averaged citrus yield in China was 14.6 t/ha. Thus, the yield gaps, based on FAO data, were about 1.0 or 10 t/ha between China and the global averaged level or the average level of top 10 countries, respectively. On the other hand, the averaged rates of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) fertilizer in orchards of major citrus producing regions of China were as high as 485,198 (P2O5), and 254 (K2O) kg/ha, respectively. Thus, partial factor productivity from applied N (PFPN) declined to 54.6 kg/kg in average which was only 30% of that in countries with advanced citrus industry such as USA, Brazil and South Africa. According to the domestic fertilization recommendation for citrus production in China, 62.0, 16.7 and 22.2 ten thousand tons will be saved for N, P and K fertilizer, respectively. This potential account 59.0%, 39.2% and 39.2% of estimated total amount of fertilizer used in citrus production in China. This fertilizer-saving potential can still work when the yield is projected to high yield level of 60 t/ha. In future, approaches including farmer training, moderate intensification, improvement of soil fertility, innovation of new-type fertilizers and methods for fertilizer application are needed to realize zero growth in chemical fertilizer use on citrus production in China or other similar countries.

ABSTRACT
Based on EASI, this study intends to discuss the effect of a leader’s faked emotion on employees’ promotive voice. From 229 pairs of superior-subordinate samples of enterprises in Chinese environmental service industry, it is discovered that a leader’s faked negative emotion would negatively affect employees’ promotive voice. Meanwhile, such an effect would be fulfilled through the mediation of employees’ liking to superiors. The research results reveal that a leader should avoid faked emotion in the management and stress on the establishment of subordinate-superior liking. Future research should collect more data and take other factors into account to further define the effect of a leader’s faked positive emotion.

ABSTRACT
Water footprint is a composite indicator of measuring the occupation of human social and economic activities on water resources, and also a focus point in research of water resources. The textile industry is a high water consuming one, but researches on the water footprint of the textile industry are relatively small. Therefore, the systematical study on the relationship between the water footprint of China’s textile industry and economic development has great potential and importance in targeted controlling and optimizing the use of water resources and sustainable economic development. Based on the water footprint theory, this paper makes analyses on the water footprint of China’s textile industry from 2001 to 2012. Then it empirically analyzes the relationship between the water footprint of China’s textile industry and the economic development from the variation trend of long term and short period by using the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) and decoupling model. In the last part, the author proposes targeted conclusions for water saving and emission reduction of the industry.

ABSTRACT
Human-wildlife conflict (HWC) has far reaching environmental impacts. Along with the increasing wildlife populations, the frequency and range of wildlife-human conflict increases, which brings the farmers psychological trauma. Thus, psychological trauma has become an important problem of building the harmonious relationship between human and wildlife. In this article, we try to find the key factors and its influence degree in order to give some proposal to wildlife departments. Based on the survey questionnaire of 230 farmer households in dimension of two counties, 13 villages of Baima Snow Mountain National Nature Reserve. On the basis of theoretical analysis, 12 variables were selected from stressor factors, group factors, mediator factors, the Logistic regression model was used to analyze the impact of wildlife conflict on farmers’ psychological trauma. The results showed that variables of the wildlife conflict type, losses of production and life, social economic losses from stressor factors, compensation type from mediator factors, age, family income ratio from group factors have significant effects on farmers’ psychological; However, the variables of economic loss degree, gender, education, health, family population and location have no significant effects on their psychological trauma. According to the result of research, some policy suggestions were put forward.

ABSTRACT
With the development of smart distribution networks, the future distribution network becomes an important platform for distributed power system in forms of consumption, acceptance and transmission. Reasonably planning the location and capacity of a distributed power supply system can improve the stability margin of the voltage distribution system, reduce the distribution network loss and increase the load rate of a distribution system effectively. However, without a suitable optimization method to solve distributed power supply system problem, it will not only increase system operation cost, but also seriously affect the safe operation of micro grids. Therefore, the problem of optimal configuration such as sizing of distributed power system has become an important research content of distribution network planning. This paper is focus on optimizing a multi-objective programming which relates to the distributed power planning. Considering various optimization objectives such as investment efficiency, voltage stability and the reduction of network loss, this paper builds a multi-objective distributed power optimization model and proposes a configuration method for optimizing the distributed power using improved particle swarm optimization algorithm based on the pareto planning concept. Example analysis shows that the proposed distributed power optimization configuration method has improved the investment benefit of the distributed power system, meanwhile the proposed method can provide a variety of reasonable alternatives from different aspects for decision makers.

ABSTRACT
The investigation and assessment of groundwater chemistry and quality is a hot topic worldwide, triggering international attention from both researchers and policy makers due to its relevant link with environmental objectives and regional development. To master quality and pollution status of groundwater in Tongchuan City, China, 39 sets of groundwater samples were collected, and 17 inorganic conventional indicators, 9 inorganic toxicological indicators and 39 trace organic indicators were analyzed. Groundwater quality and pollution were assessed by “hierarchy step evaluation method”. The results show that shallow water in Tongchuan City was in relatively poor quality in 2011. The samples that can be directly consumed or drunk after proper treatment account for 60% of the total, while 40% samples cannot be drunk. Shallow water quality is subjected to common influence of natural background and human activities, with total hardness, NO3-, SO42- as the main influence indicators. Deep water is in relatively good quality, and water in all sampling points can be directly consumed or drunk after proper treatment. Deep water is mainly affected by natural background, with Fe as the main influence indicator. The results of pollution assessment show that the shallow water samples with pollution at levels 1, 2, 3, and 4 account for 44%, 16%, 32%, and 8% of the total, and the pollution is mainly distributed in Qishui River valley in the south of Jinsuoguan and north of Chuankou. The deep water pollution level is at level 1 without influence of human pollution.

ABSTRACT
Because the dynamic stability is limited by the large disturbance in power grid, and the system damping is insufficient after the N-1 fault, which leads to the reduction of transmission and transmission capacity. In order to improve the level of dynamic stability and the limited of generating capacity of the unit, the paper studies the coordinated optimization strategy of the generator excitation control system in disturbance. The results show that the excitation system and PSS have important influence on the dynamic characteristics of the power grid. Research shows that, the parameter configuration of the existing generators control system does not meet units full power generation requirements, which has not adapted to the development of power grid. At first, according to the strategy of optimization, we carried out on-site testing. The generator without compensation phase frequency characteristic hysteresis decreases about 10 degrees brought the compensation characteristics close to -90 degrees, in addition AC gain provided by PSS is increased about 50%. Then the phase compensation is carried out for the PSS parameters. The stability level in small disturbance and large disturbance has greatly improved. Research on Optimization and implementation strategy, ability can be safe, efficient, economy improving centralized power delivery.

ABSTRACT
The ecological and environmental problems of the Three Gorges Reservoir Area have different effects on its ecological security. In order to explore the present situation of rural domestic waste pollution in the three Gorges Reservoir area and to find out reasonable rural domestic waste management measures, the typical villages in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River and in the mountainous hilly areas of central and eastern Chongqing were selected as experimental samples. The results showed that the per capita MSW production was 0.33 ~ 0.45 kg/d in the mountainous areas of central and eastern Chongqing. There is a linear positive correlation between the amount of rural domestic refuse production and the disposable income of residents. At present, typical components of rural domestic waste in the three Gorges Reservoir area include kitchen waste, bamboo and wood, ash (slag) soil, rubber and plastics, waste paper, textiles, used batteries, expired drugs, pesticides, insecticides, etc. Among them, the amount of organic matter such as kitchen garbage and bamboo wood exceeded 60%, and the waste plastics (including expired drugs, agricultural plastic mulch, pesticide and chemical fertilizer packaging) and so on were close to 15%. It is pointed out that the current system of garbage collection, storage, transportation and disposal of rural residents in the central and western regions of China needs to be further optimized and improved.
