Climate change and its consequences have called for actions to mitigate it, triggering society act speak out about sustainability policies. Movements like Fridays Future (FFF) spread beyond the young people pressed action combat climate change. The present study aimed (1) assess environmental attitudes (EA) knowledge (EK) of Brazilian German students (2) verify whether frequency participation i...

Enterprise architecture (EA) is an inherent part of large organisations and is becoming more serious and explicitly outlined these last years. This research project aims at developing an assessment method for the enterprise architecture function. In contrast with existing assessments this research focuses not only on process efficiency but takes effectiveness and stakeholder satisfaction into a...

Due to correlation coefficient matrix of initialized samples are not always positive definite, this paper presents the improved Latin Hypercube Sampling (LHS) methods with Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) to control correlation and handle power system probability analysis problem. To deal with the non-positive definite correlation matrix, an improved median Latin hypercube sampling with evolutionary...

BACKGROUND Xenobiotic chemicals with estrogenic activity (EA), such as bisphenol A (BPA), have been reported to have potential adverse health effects in mammals, including humans, especially in fetal and infant stages. Concerns about safety have caused many manufacturers to use alternatives to polycarbonate (PC) resins to make hard and clear, reusable, plastic products that do not leach BPA. Ho...

Enterprise Architecture (EA) is positioned as an instrument for coordinating enterprise transformation. However, existing EA approaches pay less attention to soft factors that may have an impact on enterprise transformations. The existence of different organisational subcultures is not taken into account although it is considered as significant in the context of change. The social alignment of ...

While the role of citizen science in engaging the public and providing large-scale datasets has been demonstrated, the nature of and potential for this science to supplement environmental monitoring efforts by government agencies has not yet been fully explored. To this end, the present study investigates the complementarity of a citizen science programme to agency monitoring of water quality. ...

At the time of current global energy crisis awareness education in school is increasingly important. Textbooks directly helping and influencing learning play an important role this, especially case natural sciences. Thus, aim this research was to show how science textbooks help educate (EA). Regarding 67 Hungarian were analysed using a quantitative textbook analysis from grade 1 12. When studyi...

The Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) on EOS/Aqua platform provides a measurement of global methane (CH4) in the mid-upper troposphere since September, 2002. As a thermal infrared sounder, the most sensitivity of AIRS to atmospheric CH4 is in the mid-upper troposphere with the degree of freedom of ~1.0. Validation of AIRS CH4 product versus thousands of aircraft profiles (convolved using the ...
