This review article provides a new perspective on the ethics of green nudging. We advance model for assessing ethical permissibility nudges (GNs). On this model, which normative guidance policymakers, GN is ethically permissible when intervention (1) efficacious, (2) cost-effective, and (3) advantages (i.e. reducing environmental harm) are not outweighed by countervailing costs/harms nudgees). ...

In this paper, we focus on multiobjective fuzzy random programming problems with simple recourse through a fractile optimization model, in which fuzzy random variables coefficients are involved in equality constraints, and random variables coefficients are involved in the objective functions. In the proposed method, equality constraints with fuzzy random variables are defined on the basis of a ...

Exposure of workers to mixtures of organic solvents and to occupational noise is frequent in a number of industries. Recent studies suggest that exposure to both can cause a more severe hearing loss than exposure to noise alone. Our cross-sectional study included 411 workers of a large automobile plant divided in three groups. The first group included assembly workers exposed to noise alone; th...

Study on the accumulation level of heavy metals was conducted on sediment and fishes from estuaries of Bay of Bengal. Heavy metals were determined by using Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometer (ICP-OES) and the results were compared to permissible limits of WHO/USEPA. The accumulation patterns of Fe and Cd were found predominantly in all samples tested when correlated with o...

As a molecular imaging technique, bioluminescence tomography (BLT) with its highly sensitive detection and facile operation can significantly reveal molecular and cellular information in vivo at the whole-body small animal level. However, because of complex photon transportation in biological tissue and boundary detection data with high noise, bioluminescent sources in deeper positions generall...

OBJECTIVE To measure and assess the noise levels produced by various dental equipments in different areas of a dental institution and to recommend improvements if noise levels are not within permissible limits. MATERIAL AND METHODS Sound levels were measured at three different areas of a dental institution where learning and teaching activities are organized. The sound level was measured usin...

This paper presents the results obtained in a study of environmental noise pollution in Alexandria city. Alexandria is a coastal city. It is the second largest city in Egypt. Thirty seven sampling sites were selected to measure the noise level at three main streets in the city (Elgish Street, Horreya Avenue and Circular Highway). The minimum noise levels recoded at Elgish Street, Horreya Avenue...
