Sustainable Development

13.6K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

230
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Conservation of Energy: Application01:12

Conservation of Energy: Application

7.1K
When solving problems using the energy conservation law, the object (system) to be studied should first be identified. Often, in applications of energy conservation, we study more than one body at the same time. Second, identify all forces acting on the object and determine whether each force doing work is conservative. If a non-conservative force (e.g., friction) is doing work, then mechanical energy is not conserved. The system must then be analyzed with non-conservative work. Third, for...

Energy Conservation and Bernoulli's Equation01:16

Energy Conservation and Bernoulli's Equation

9.5K
Applying the conservation of energy principle or the work-energy theorem to an incompressible, inviscid fluid in laminar, steady, irrotational flow leads to Bernoulli's equation. It states that the sum of the fluid pressure, potential, and kinetic energy per unit volume is constant along a streamline.
All the terms in the equation have the dimension of energy per unit volume. The kinetic energy per unit volume is called the kinetic energy density, and the potential energy per unit volume is...

Conservation of Energy

9.7K
The terms 'conserved quantity' and 'conservation law' have specific scientific meanings in physics, which differ from the meanings associated with their everyday use. For example, in everyday usage, water could be conserved by not using it, by using less of it, or by re-using it. However, in scientific terms, a conserved quantity of a system stays constant, changes by a definite amount that is transferred to other systems, and is converted into other forms of that...

Development of Analytical Methods01:21

Development of Analytical Methods

737
An analytical methodology can be divided into four sequential steps: technique, method, procedure, and protocol. A technique is a scientific principle that rationalizes a specific phenomenon through chemical measurements. Adapting a technique for analyzing a sample of interest is termed a method. The procedure outlines the directions for performing the analysis via an analytical method. The protocol is the detailed guidelines on the procedure, which should be strictly followed to obtain the...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Public Health
  • Environmental Science

Background:

  • Promoting active and sustainable aging is crucial for the well-being of elderly populations.
  • Residential structures for the elderly (RSEs) require innovative approaches to enhance quality of life.
  • Existing strategies for aging often lack a holistic, integrated perspective.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To create a sustainable and active aging program for RSEs.
  • To promote the transition to sustainable aging through research and best practices.
  • To address social, economic, environmental, and pedagogical aspects of aging.

Main Methods:

  • Implementation of a living-lab approach within an RSE case study.
  • Formation of a "SAVING Brigade" for enhanced reflection and learning.
  • Utilization of indicators for theme support and comparative analysis.

Main Results:

  • The SAVING Brigade facilitated increased reflection, mutual learning, and improved coping with challenges.
  • Indicators provided a basis for comparison across studies, institutions, and programs.
  • An Action Plan was developed as a tool for implementing defined strategies.

Conclusions:

  • Quality of life in aging is multifaceted, encompassing physical, psychological, social, and contextual factors.
  • Active, sustainable, and healthy aging should be the primary goal for elderly care.
  • The SAVING project's methodology offers a replicable model for enhancing aging in residential settings.
