Assessing Environmental Literacy and its Relationship with Environmental Ethics
Background: Attention to environmental literacy and ethics in agriculture has a decisive role in nature conservation and production resources. If farmers do not have environmental literacy, irreparable damage to the environment is expected. The purpose of this study was to evaluate environmental literacy and its relationship with environmental ethics among farmers in Torbat-e-Heydariyeh. Metho...
متن کاملStock Evaluation under Mixed Uncertainties Using Robust DEA Model
Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is one of the popular and applicable techniques for assessing and ranking the stocks or other financial assets. It should be noted that in the financial markets, most of the times, the inputs and outputs of DEA models are accompanied by uncertainty. Accordingly, in this paper, a novel Robust Data Envelopment Analysis (RDEA) model, which is capable to be used in t...
متن کاملAge-Related Differences in Susceptibility to Carcinogenesis. II. Approaches for Application and Uncertainty Analyses for Individual Genetically Acting Carcinogens
In an earlier report we developed a quantitative likelihood-based analysis of the differences in sensitivity of rodents to mutagenic carcinogens across three life stages (fetal, birth to weaning, and weaning to 60 days) relative to exposures in adult life. Here we draw implications for assessing human risks for full lifetime exposures, taking into account three types of uncertainties in making ...
متن کاملSynergies of environment and health information systems with space observations facilitating new regulatory policies
* Corresponding author. Abstract – The integration of environmental monitoring data with harmonized space observations in order to detect and verify health threats, is a process with uncertainties and the spatial resolution is frequently inadequate for identifying the environmental burden of diseases. This work utilizes methods for merging environmental and health data for assessing atmospheric...
متن کاملProbabilistic material flow modeling for assessing the environmental exposure to compounds: Methodology and an application to engineered nano-TiO2 particles
An elementary step towards a quantitative assessment of the risks of new compounds or pollutants (chemicals, materials) to the environment is to estimate their environmental concentrations. Thus, the calculation of predicted environmental concentrations (PECs) builds the basis of a first exposure assessment. This paper presents a probabilistic method to compute distributions of PECs by means of...
