Assessing the Effect of the Chinese River Chief Policy for Water Pollution Control under Uncertainty-Using Chaohu Lake as a Case.

The River Chief Policy (RCP) is an innovative water resource management system in China aimed at managing water pollution and improving water quality. Though the RCP has been piloted in some river basins of China, few scholars have studied the effects of the policy. We built a differential game model under random interference factors to compare the water pollution in Chaohu Lake under the RCP and without the RCP, and we explored the conditions to ensure the effectiveness of the RCP. The results showed that: (1) The average effect of water pollution control under the RCP was greater than under non-RCP; (2) the higher the rewarding excellence and punishing inferiority coefficient () was, the better the water pollution control effect under the RCP; (3) the greater the random interference coefficient () and rewarding excellence and punishing inferiority coefficient () were, the bigger the fluctuation of the water pollution control effect was; (4) when using the stochastic differential game, when , , or , , the RCP must be effective for water pollution control. Therefore, we can theoretically adjust the rewarding excellence and punishing inferiority coefficient () and the random interference coefficient () to ensure the effective implementation of the RCP and achieve the purpose of water pollution control.

Evaluation of Groundwater Overdraft Governance Measures in Hengshui City, China

Groundwater overdraft is a worldwide phenomenon, resulting in environmental issues, such as water contamination, land subsidence, seawater intrusion, streamflow reduction, and deterioration of the ecological environment. Located in the central North China Plain, Hengshui City has experienced a regional groundwater depression cone due to excessive pumping of groundwater, resulting in the largest overdraft area in the North China Plain. Since 2014, Hebei Province has adopted measures to realize the comprehensive governance of groundwater overdraft in partial areas of Hengshui City, including adjusting planting structures, promoting agronomic water-saving techniques, strengthening hydraulic engineering construction, and innovative management systems. These measures have been in effect for two years, such that their effectiveness must be assessed for the beneficial recovery of groundwater levels to determine the means for their continuation and extension. However, the change in regional groundwater levels is not gradual, but reflects a process of sudden increase due to the intervention of government behavior, and many existing groundwater recharge models are difficult to apply. Therefore, establishing a reasonable, scientific evaluation system of the measures is a key problem that requires a solution. Using field surveys and experiments, this study establishes a quantitative analysis evaluation method to assess the performance of governance measures adopted by Hengshui City in 2015, with full consideration of the crop water demand process and rainfall frequency. The results show that governance measures had a significant positive outcome on reducing groundwater overdraft in pilot areas. Approximately 98.4% of the agricultural governance target was achieved, with confined groundwater rebounding by approximately 4.92 m as compared to 2015. According to the analysis, the three most efficient measures (the top three largest amounts of groundwater-saved per mu) adopted by the government were (1) non-agricultural crops replacement (forestry), (2) planting pattern adjustments, and (3) integration of water and fertilizer-vegetable, which can be promoted in future measures. However, considering the size of the implementation area and total governance capacity, water-saving during spring irrigation of wheat and replacement by surface water are the two most important conservation measures, which are required to further strengthen the management and implementation effect.

Life Cycle Assessment of an Innovative Food Waste Management System

The aim of this study has been to investigate the environmental impacts of an innovative food waste management system and compare it with landfilling as a conventional waste management option. The investigated system is still in the laboratory research and development phase. Therefore inventory data of the laboratory scale food waste management system was collected and then up-scaled for life cycle assessment purposes. The proposed system consists of a hygenization reactor followed by a fermenter and then a centrifuge. The system converts food waste into volatile fatty acid-rich supernatant. Functional unit is management of 1 ton food waste. The results indicate that the proposed system is a better option than landfilling in terms of all impact categories. The produced VFA-rich supernatant is supposed to be used as a replacement for methanol in the denitrification process. In one of the impact categories (ozone depletion potential) the avoided burdens are higher than the burdens and the system provides net gain (-2.82E-07 kg R11 eq.). Majority of the environmental burdens in the proposed system are due to heat consumption for hygenization. Including sludge disposal in the investigated system boundary increases the environmental burdens but the burdens are still lower compared to landfilling option.

Plastics in municipal drinking water and wastewater treatment plant effluents: challenges and opportunities for South Africa-a review.

Pervasive plastic wastes, pollution and detrimental environmental ethics are a serious threat in South Africa. Compared with global trends, most studies undertaken on plastic pollutions in water bodies across South Africa have generally been limited to marine and coastal waters. A literature review, for the last 40years, demonstrated the scanty studies on the economic, social, health and cost implications of plastic entrainment into fresh water (sources of drinking water) and wastewater systems in South Africa. Hence, demonstrating a knowledge gap on this imperative issue, the inadequate and limited frameworks needed in assessing, evaluating and re-evaluating the menace of plastic pollution and entrainments into consumable water and wastewater treatment plants. This has hampered the local capacity, manpower, knowledge and understanding direly needed for mitigating these challenges. This work is necessitated because of the dire need in bridging the knowledge gap locally by adaptively reviewing possible challenges and opportunities for South Africa in meeting up the mandate of addressing this global threat. The emerging agreement amongst global policy-makers, educators and scientists is that environmental challenges, such as this, require, now more than ever, renewed ways of effective knowledge production and decision-making in tackling, holistically the menace of mismanaged plastic wastes and pollutions. These include but not limited to plastic education curriculum, synergised policies in fostering a circular plastic economy, overriding political will, innovative waste management systems, inclusive independent monitoring of plastic wastes, robust laws and effective enforcement strategies that are needed to promote better environmental ethics, mitigation and a sustainable environment.

Is It Time to Reassess the Front-End Innovation Approach?

A poor innovation concept can rarely be converted into a commercial or social success. Based on three decades of teaching and practice, the author argues that there are three main areas at the front end of innovation that can significantly increase the probability of success. By focusing on these simple aspects of the innovation process, namely adoption behavior, differential advantage ( vis-a-vis benchmarks), and the role of stakeholders in the decision-making process, innovation teams should see significant improvements in their results. In practice, few innovation management systems truly incorporate these into their processes, which require a shift to a more systematic approach.

Risk management in the implementation of innovative projects

Introduction. Nowadays, the development of the international economic system is mainly due to the innovation processes associated with the creation and initiation of advanced sciences and technologies, which is why the sphere of innovation becomes the most important resource of the nation, and its effectiveness determines the dynamics and progressive development of the national economy. The purpose of the paper is to investigate the theoretical issues of the essence of risk management of innovative projects. Results. Innovative modifications at the enterprise are developed and implemented through design. The project is an independent system with innovative content, presented in a document format, limited in time, characterized by risks and high levels of uncertainty due to external environmental factors. The key features of an innovation project are uncertainty, exclusivity, the specific purpose of the project, clearly defined conditions and risks. A large number of threatening and dangerous situations exist in the external and internal environment of companies developing and implementing innovative projects, so the question arises of effective risk management at all stages of project operation and implementation. The study found that integrated risk analysis and the development of a quality innovative project risk management system will maximize opportunities to achieve project goals and minimize costs or adverse events. Conclusion. The process of development and implementation of innovative projects is associated not only with large investments, but also with risks at all stages of design. In this regard, there is always the question of the effectiveness of the formation of project risk management mechanisms that will improve the profitability of the enterprise and its functioning in the direction of innovative development. The methodology of project risk management clearly proved to be a successful form of management activity. A consistent course of action should be developed to determine the risk for each project that meets the requirements of the particular enterprise. Implementation of risk management of an innovative project into the practice of the enterprise will lead to significant savings of the budget of realization of projects, time of their realization and will improve quality of execution.

Research on Risk Governance Order of Spring Festival Tourism Emergency—Based on Mass Passenger Stranding Incident in Haikou Port

Spring Festival holiday tourism often brings a large-scale population flow, which aggravates the pressure of transportation. There are risks in the three levels of “physiology-psychology-society” that need to be prevented and controlled. It has become a public security field that the state and society focus on. This paper analyzes the role and role of different subjects in risk management from the perspective of order, taking the large-scale passenger detention and serious traffic congestion in Haikou Port caused by heavy fog in Hainan Province as an example. In the emergency management of “outlying islands” emergencies, the government conducts emergency mobilization through authoritative order, and optimizes resource integration order, information communication order, and inter-government collaborative cooperation order. Social forces actively participate in risk management. The market order gives priority to emergency management. The media and online platforms optimize information service order, control social order, and innovate service efficiency. Thus, Hainan province’s emergency management ability in response to the peak of Spring Festival is improved, the emergency management order is optimized, the cooperation order is expanded, the construction and innovation of urban and grass-roots emergency management system are promoted, and the tourism order is guaranteed.

The Role of Proximities in the Construction of Managerial Innovation in a Collaborative Context

The dialogue between researchers in management and practitioners is increasingly intensive and regular. The objective of this research is to present a process of the co-creation of a new practice of human resources management: the labor loan for an ecosystem. For some time now, a number of French organizations have used an innovative human resources management system: the loan of labor. This system, which is regulated by French law, aims simultaneously at safeguarding local employment and at temporarily relieving companies of their payroll. The system also helps to develop the skills and employability of employees in an employment area. This research analyzes the emergence of this new practice in light of the analytical approach of proximity. A longitudinal and original methodological framework makes it possible to understand how the actors co-construct the devices of labor loan, in order to appropriate them and disseminate them within a pool of jobs. It also shows the significance of inter-organizational dynamics and the interactions between researchers and practitioners in the emergence of the system.JEL Codes: M, M5
