Cyborgs For Environmental Justice: East Asian American Stories From The 1991 People Of Color Environmental Leadership Summit, Lisa Ng
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
The goal of this paper is threefold: to serve as an oral history archive of the East Asian American experience at the 1991 People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit, to analyze the role of East Asian Americans in the Environmental Justice Movement (EJM), and to fill an ideological and political vacuum that exists in East Asian American communities. This work analyses the experiences of East Asian Americans who were present at the 1991 People of Color Environmental Leadership Summit--an event scholars have attributed to igniting the EJM. The paper argues that East Asian Americans act as “Cyborgs”—both as their ascribed …

Determination Of Soil Properties And Fungal Interrelations Influenced By Forest Restoration On A Contaminated Zinc Mining Area, Chutima Kantrong, Kallaya Suntornvongsakul, Yang-Soo Lee
Applied Environmental Research
Forest restoration in a contaminated zinc mining area must take into account the environmental soil properties. This study aimed to analyze the soil properties from the three different stages of restored forests, at 3, 7 and 17, focusing on the impact on soil microorganismsand availability of fungal species. Three study sites were selected, all located in a zinc mining area in Mae Sot District, Tak Province, Thailand. The results showed that observed soil properties especially soil texture,moisture and nutrients differed between stand initiation and regrowth forests and affected the distribution of fungal species. Soils in older forest stands up to …

A Study On Developing Ventilation In Restaurants In Re-Purposed Row Houses, Sumavalee Chindapol
Applied Environmental Research
The building ventilation of seventy-seven row houses in eight districts in Chiang Mai province of Thailand was surveyed and investigated. A typical row house re-purposed as a restaurant refers to a 3.5 m high space with two stoves in the front of the building and a closed rear area to serve as storage. As a base-case, restaurants had an average capacity of 24 customers in the dining area. Measurements of internal air quality of a selected restaurant were conducted in the summer season of 2015 and 2017, and the results revealed average air temperatures of 36°C and 33°C, relative humidity …

Applied Environmental Research
Microbial-derived surface-active compounds (biosurfactants) have attracted attention due to their low toxicity, cost-effectiveness, biodegradable nature and environment compatibility. Due to paucity of knowledge in the production of biosurfactant by microorganisms from other sources such as biochar-amended soil, the present study investigates the potential of rhizospheric bacteria isolated from biochar amended soil of okra plant in the production of biosurfactants using different recovery techniques. Rhizospheric bacteria were screened for biosurfactant productionusing Haemolytic, Oil spreading, Drop collapse, Methylene blue method, Bacterial adhesion to hydrocarbon and Emulsification activity. The biosurfactant was extracted using different extraction solvents (acid precipitation, ethyl acetate, acetone, dichloromethane and …

Trophic Models Of Seagrass Ecosystems In Maqueda Channel, Caramoan Peninsula, Philippines, Michael A. Clores, Michael A. Cuesta
Applied Environmental Research
Steady-state trophic models were constructed using the Ecopath with Ecosim software to examine the general status, development trends, and functional integrity of three extensive seagrass meadows located in Maqueda Channel of Caramoan Peninsula, Southern Luzon Island, Philippines. The results show that the ecosystems are composed of 23-24 functional groups with effective trophic levels extending from 1.00 to 3.76. Mixed trophic impacts show that decrease in the biomass of grazers Tripneustes gratilla (collector urchin) had a positive impact on the biomass of seagrasses. On the other hand, a positive effect on the benthic groups is expected with an assumed decrease in …

Effect Of Synthesized Conditions Of Cu-K-Oms-2 On Toluene Oxidation Performance, Chatkamol Kaewbuddee, Narong Chanlek, Kitirote Wantala
Applied Environmental Research
The objective of this study was to optimize synthesis conditions for the Cu-K-OMS-2 hydrothermal process. The effects of ageing temperature, ageing time and amount of copper(Cu) dopant were considered via using the Box-Behnken design (BBD) method to characterizethe conditions for gaseous toluene degradation. In the models studied, the independent variables were ageing temperature (55-145ºC), ageing time (6-18 h) and amount of Cu dopant (2-6% mole). The quadratic model fitted very well with the experimental data (15 runs), which showed a higher value of R2(0.98) and adjusted R2(0.95), confirming that the model can explain the results successfully. Ageing temperature was found …

Commmunity, Ecology, And Modernity: Faunal Analysis Of Skútustaðir In Mývatnssveit, Northern Iceland, Megan Hicks
Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
This dissertation examines the archaeofaunal remains from Skútustaðir, a middle to high-status farm in Mývatnssveit, Northern Iceland, to understand the experience of rural communities and their ecologies during Iceland’s transition from regulated colonial exchange to a capitalist economy during the 17th through 19th centuries. Archaeofaunal analysis is used to reconstruct changes in the ways that people herded, hunted, and fished, providing insights into how they managed their local environments for subsistence and novel contexts of exchange. In addition to archaeofaunal analysis, primary textual sources are explored to assess how the Skútustaðir household and its rural community mobilized long-term …

Key Elements Of Environmental Justice In The Geothermal Power Plant Resistance Movement, Priyo Fajar Santoso, Bevaola Kusumasari
Jurnal Politik
Geothermal energy is currently considered as an environmentally friendly, renewable energy source. However, based on empirical data from various countries, geothermal energy production often results socioecological losses for the host community. Various environmental justice movements have emerged to protect environment by protestesting and providing a counter discourse against the dominant perception that geothermal energy is renewable and environmentally friendly. As Indonesian government put more effort to develop more geothermal power thermal across the country, more reactions also emerge and surprisingly include the critical one. This article aims to look at one of the critical reaction from community to counter the …

Do Corporate Owned Adaptive Learning Platforms Perpetuate Banking Style Learning? Integrating Technology For Activism Into Transformational Sustainability Education, Tina M. Garner
Leadership for Sustainability Education Comprehensive Papers
We live in a world that tends to be controlled by corporations. The public school system should be wary of the problems that corporate control has on education. Even though public schools should not have corporate influence, the fact remains that they do, and this perpetuates Freire's banking style learning. Through time, the corporate influence in education was through educational materials such as book sales. Since the decline of the use of books and the growth of the use of technologies, corporations have followed suit through the sales of Adaptive Learning Platforms. Through leveraging the technology which students enjoy using, …
