Environmental Applications of Microorganisms

811
Microorganisms play a pivotal role in maintaining ecosystem balance by recycling essential elements such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus, as well as supporting processes like bioremediation, wastewater treatment, and biofuel production.Microbes in Elemental CyclesIn the carbon cycle, microorganisms decompose organic matter, releasing carbon dioxide via aerobic respiration. This carbon dioxide is subsequently used by photosynthetic organisms to synthesize organic compounds, closing the...

Environmental Influences on Intelligence01:29

Environmental Influences on Intelligence

785
Despite the strong genetic influence on traits like intelligence, environmental factors significantly shape outcomes. For example, while over 90% of height variation is due to genetic differences, environmental factors such as nutrition also have a notable impact. Similarly, for intelligence, changes in a child's surroundings can significantly alter their IQ. Research shows that enriched environments boost children's academic success and help them develop key cognitive skills. Children...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Social Science
  • Sustainability Studies

Background:

  • Solid waste management in Lebanese peri-urban areas presents environmental and socio-behavioral challenges.
  • Existing approaches often lack community integration and a holistic understanding of waste dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a transdisciplinary research case study on solid waste management in Lebanese peri-urban communities.
  • To develop and propose the Transdisciplinary Interventions for Environmental Sustainability (TIES) framework.
  • To identify key lessons for effective knowledge co-creation in environmental sustainability.

Main Methods:

  • Ex-post assessment of environmental and socio-behavioral contexts.
  • Formation of a transdisciplinary research team with non-academic partners.
  • Co-creation of solution-oriented knowledge through an iterative research process.

Main Results:

  • Environmental assessment revealed water contamination and health issues near landfills.
  • Socio-behavioral assessment showed discrepancies between community perception and actual waste generation.
  • Nine key lessons for transdisciplinary interventions were identified and compiled into the TIES framework.

Conclusions:

  • The TIES framework offers a scalable, non-phased approach for transdisciplinary environmental sustainability.
  • Effective knowledge co-creation requires addressing inherent common interests, flexible teams, and clear communication.
  • The study addresses a global need for unified transdisciplinarity frameworks, particularly in the Global South.
