Circular Economy in the Construction Sector
Since the publication of the Club of Rome's report "The Limits to Growth" in 1972, the urgency to shift towards a non-linear economic model has become increasingly evident. This was further reinforced by the planetary boundaries theory, which underscores the need for innovative production and consumption systems to ensure sustainable resource use. Recently, the concept of a circular economy (CE), popularized by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, has gained international prominence.Despite its alignment with critical public policies such as the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and the European Green Deal, substantial challenges persist in realizing the CE's full potential, particularly in the construction sector. This sector plays a vital economic role while grappling with significant environmental and social issues. Therefore, this reprint, Circular Economy in the Construction Sector, addresses these challenges by exploring CE principles and innovative approaches, aiming to bridge knowledge gaps and promote sustainability in construction practices worldwide.

Wired Wisdom
A surprising window into the online lives of people sixty and over--offering essential insights, no matter your age. Many popular accounts say the older you are, the greater your tech struggles. And it's worrying to think of loved ones emailing cringe-worthy misinformation, falling for phishing attacks, or becoming lonelier with increasing time spent online. But in their eye-opening book on the internet's fastest-growing demographic, researchers Eszter Hargittai and John Palfrey offer a more nuanced picture--debunking common myths about older adults' internet use to offer hope and a necessary call to action. Incorporating original interviews and survey results from thousands of people sixty and over, Wired Wisdom shows that many, in fact, use technology in ways that put younger peers to shame. Over-sixties are often nimble online and quicker to abandon social media platforms that don't meet their needs. Despite being targeted more often, they also may be less likely to fall for scams than younger peers. And fake news actually fools fewer people over sixty, who have far more experience evaluating sources and detecting propaganda. Still, there are unseen risks and missed opportunities for this group. Hargittai and Palfrey offer practical advice and show that our stereotypes can be hurdles that keep us from building intergenerational support communities, helping loved ones adopt new technology that may improve their lives, and thriving together online.
Maintenance and Philosophy of Technology
What can we learn about the nature of technology by studying practices of maintenance and repair? This volume addresses this question by bringing together scholarship from philosophers of technology working at the forefront of this emerging and exciting topic.The chapters in this volume explore how attending to maintenance and repair can challenge and complement existing ways of thinking about technology focused on use and design and introduce new philosophical perspectives on the relationship between technology, time and human practice. They examine the significance of maintenance and repair practices at different scales in relation to a diverse range of philosophical traditions and a wide variety of technologies, from urban infrastructure such as bridges and buildings to data technologies such as servers and software systems. Together, the contributions highlight common themes in the philosophical study of maintenance, including the role of skill, the significance of social values and the potential of these practices to transform the technologies to which they are applied. By reflecting on the different ways in which we keep technologies going, from the devices we use in our homes to the large technical systems which surround us, this volume reveals the philosophical significance of practices of maintenance, not only as a source of new insights but also as a resource for enriching our understanding of a variety of existing topics in philosophy.Maintenance and Philosophy of Technology will appeal to scholars and advanced students working in philosophy of technology, philosophy of engineering and science & technology studies.Chapter 9 of this book is freely available as a downloadable Open Access PDF at www.taylorfrancis.com under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non Commercial-No Derivatives (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Study of Climate Change Impact on Hydro-Meteorological Parameters in Bagmati River Basin
In this comprehensive study, the impact of climate change on hydro-meteorological parameters in the Bagmati River Basin is rigorously examined. Climate change poses significant threats, altering the frequency of extreme hydrological events with profound societal and environmental implications. These impacts encompass human health, safety, water resources management, sediment transport dynamics, and infrastructure resilience. The research employs statistical downscaling techniques using atmospheric predictors such as temperature, humidity, and geopotential height to refine precipitation data. Monthly rainfall data from four rain gauge stations and reanalysis data spanning 33 years are utilized, alongside discharge data from a key gauging site on the Bagmati River. Statistical models, including Feedforward Neural Networks (FFNN) and Wavelet Neural Networks (WNN), are developed and validated to predict precipitation patterns. WNN emerges as particularly effective for precipitation prediction, informing projections up to 2036 using General Circulation Model (GCM) outputs. Furthermore, the study advances rainfall-runoff modeling using FFNN and WNN, enhanced through Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) for optimal parameterization. This hybrid approach improves the robustness of runoff estimation critical for water resource management. Trend analysis employing Mann-Kendall tests and Sen's Slope estimators reveals significant climate-induced variations in rainfall and runoff patterns from 1981 to 2013, crucial for understanding basin hydrology amidst changing climatic conditions. Addressing drought, the study employs the Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) to forecast future drought occurrences during 2014-2036, highlighting drought years in 2023, 2027, 2031, and 2033. This underscores the study's contribution to drought monitoring and mitigation strategies in the region. Overall, this research underscores the urgent need for systematic approaches to mitigate the impacts of climate change on hydrological systems.
The Need for Fugacity Model on Pollutant to Determine Climate Change Effects in Global World
Industrial development are reaching extraordinary and upsetting proportions worldwide in our epoch. The interactions between human being and their physical environments have been widely studied, as multiple human activities impact the environment. The greatest scourges are pollution not only of its impact on climate change but also its impact on public and individual health due to increasing morbidity and mortality. In General, Fugacity model help to elucidate this by embarking on the real environment where contaminant moves across and within environmental compartments thereby affecting and impacting on the world global climate. This book encompasses six parts: Part 1 and Part 2 - highlight the human activities impact on the climate, pollutant mobility and fugacity model levels, its theory and model uses. Part 3 - Materials and methods - it clarifies on the case study of a tropical region and fugacity input data's. Part 4 and Part 5 - Results obtained on the said region. Part 6 - Discussion on fugacity level I-III and its impact. From a toxicological perspective, the occurrence, fate, and transport of chemical pollutants in soils are largely driven by the properties of the pollutants; however, the properties of soils are also important. Therefore, in this book, I develop an understanding of the dynamics of pollutants in soils with various properties, subject to a range of processes with fugacity models (I-III) under the climate change influences.

Prediction of Propagation for Surface Crack
Fracture damage usually occurs from pre-existing defects or small cracks in service. The fatigue cracks of structural parts mostly start on the surface and expand under the action of fatigue load, which leads to the failure of structural parts in engineering. The initiating and propagation analysis of surface crack is critical for structural integrity prediction of cylindrical metallic components with circular cross section, since these components have been applied widely in engineering. This book is a collection of research methods for predicting surface crack growth. The crack growth circles method is developed for the surface cracks of a round bar subjected to tension and torsion loads. A multiparameter model with fewer shape restraints whose center is allowed to move arbitrarily is built, and the shape change of a fatigue crack is predicted more precisely.
Design and Implementation of a Low-Power Device for Non-Invasive Blood Glucose
Glucose is a simple sugar molecule. The chemical formula of this sugar molecule is C6H12O6. This means that the glucose molecule contains six carbon atoms (C), twelve hydrogen atoms (H), and six oxygen atoms (O). In human blood, the molecule glucose circulates as blood sugar. Normally, after eating or drinking, our bodies break down the sugars in food and use them to obtain energy for our cells. To execute this process, our pancreas produces insulin. Insulin "pulls" sugar from the blood and puts it into the cells for use. If someone has diabetes, their pancreas cannot produce enough insulin. As a result, the level of glucose in their blood rises. This can lead to many potential complications, including blindness, disease, nerve damage, amputation, stroke, heart attack, damage to blood vessels, etc. In this study, a non-invasive and therefore easily usable method for monitoring blood glucose was developed. With the experiment carried out, it was possible to measure glucose levels continuously, thus eliminating the disadvantages of invasive systems. Near-IR sensors (optical sensors) were used to estimate the concentration of glucose in blood; these sensors have a wavelength of 940 nm. The sensor was placed on a small black parallelepiped-shaped box on the tip of the finger and the output of the optical sensor was then connected to a microcontroller at the analogue input. Another sensor used, but only to provide more medical information, was the heartbeat sensor, inserted into an armband (along with the microprocessor). After processing and linear regression analysis, the glucose level was predicted, and data were sent via the Bluetooth network to a developed APP. The results of the implemented device were compared with available invasive methods (commercial products). The hardware consisted of a microcontroller, a near-IR optical sensor, a heartbeat sensor, and a Bluetooth module. Another objective of this experiment using low-cost and low-power hardware was to not carry out complex processing of data from the sensors.
Energy and Environmental Recovery of Wastes
The problem of paper and cardboard waste management presents local pollution, due to the presence of metal alloys used as binding and potentially dangerous for the environment and human health, and diffuse pollution, due to the presence of inks also potentially dangerous for the environment and human health. Not mastered, this management could be a real problem in the cities of developing countries. In a context where the quantities of paper and cardboard waste follow the population growth and that wood fuel is decreasing due to desertification and deforestation, this work generally aims to propose an ecological alternative to the cutting firewood by recovering energy from paper and cardboard waste to contribute to the improvement of solid waste management and the fight against desertification. The quantification of the flow of paper and cardboard in the city of Maroua using a hypothetical-deductive methodology focused on a total quantity of 81.7 tons of paper second generation rejected towards nature during all services in the city of Maroua between 2019-2020. During the same period, the recycling of paper and cardboard waste to produce briquettes could save between imports of raw materials of papers and the gain in CO2 sequestration, more than 125,487.47 tons of CO2 in a sahelian city such as that of Maroua. The manufacture of fuel briquettes by a mechanical process allowed to determine their physical characteristics from which it emerges that their average density is 1.12 簣 0.40 with an average surface area/volume ratio of 3595.88 簣 19.90 mm-1 . Their chemical characterizations made it possible to determine the rate dry average humidity of 4.00 簣 0.02%, and an average fixed carbon content of the order of 33.24 簣 1.31%. The average calorific value measured for pre-treated and optimized fuels is 41.18 簣 6.34 MJ/Kg while the average calorific value measured for fuels pretreated but not optimized is 12.65MJ / Kg. Briquettes made from paper and cardboard (90-98%) and plastic (2-10%) emit CO (1300-2110ppm), CO2 (0-1.99%) in the presence oxygen (18.4-25%) below the standard: therefore they are non-polluting for the environment.
