Abstract:

Sustainably managing vehicles at their end-of-life stage (ELVs) presents significant potential for resource recovery, effectively addressing resource scarcity through the closure of the material loop. While ELVs in countries like Morocco have traditionally been treated as waste rather than secondary resource material (SRM), they have the potential to reduce reliance on primary materials when used...

Abstract:

Global livestock production is a major driver of climate change. Lumping beef and pork together as red meat masks important differences in their carbon footprints, land uses, and social status. These two red meat choices in Canada were compared by using a meta-model of the Unified Livestock Industry and Crop Emissions Estimation System (ULICEES). ULICEES calculated fossil... More

Abstract:

Pharmaceutical pollution is becoming an increasing threat to aquatic environments since inactive compounds do not break down, and the drug products are accumulated in living organisms. The ability of a drug to dissolve in water (i.e., LogS) is an important parameter for assessing a drug's environmental fate, biovailability, and toxicity. LogS is typically measured in... More

Abstract:

The rapidly growing seaweed farming contributes to food, feed, biofuel, and biochemicals, with Indonesia being the largest exporter of raw seaweed (53.35%) but low in carrageenan derivative products (4.49%). Sustainable farming supports SDG 13 and SDG 14 through emission reduction, marine ecosystem conservation, and increased biodiversity. However, its supply chain faces challenges in raw material...

Artificial intelligence (AI) can expand access to environmental learning by providing scalable, personalized educational tools that overcome geographical and logistical barriers. This paper explored the perceptions of science... More

Abstract:

This study aims to understand the behavior of the Bugis community in developing vernacular house models in the coastal areas of South Sulawesi Province, along with the factors influencing this behavior, such as knowledge, motivation, attitude, locus of control, commitment, concern, and income level. Bugis vernacular houses reflect local wisdom that is adapted to environmental,... More

Abstract:

This study evaluates the impact of heavy metals (zinc, copper and cadmium) on the development and metabolic responses of the maize (Zea mays) variety “Torro Plus”. Seeds were cultivated on MS medium enriched with progressively higher concentrations of heavy metals (50, 100 and 150 μM), and plants were analyzed after 21 days. The results show... More

Abstract:

This study explores the environmental sensitivity of first-year teacher education stu dents, focusing on the relationship between their Earth Science performance, demographic factors, and their cognitive and emotional responses to environmental challenges. Using a descriptive correlational design within a mixed-methods framework, the research incorporates tools such as the Environmental Sensitivity Test (EST), focus group discussions (FGDs),... More

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to examine the knowledge, attitude, motivation and behavior of the community before and after the experiment, and also to determine the effect of the experiment on increasing knowledge, attitude, motivation, and behavior related to the construction of family toilets in coastal areas. The study was conducted in Pangkep and... More

Abstract:

Rip currents are a significant threat to swimmers worldwide, responsible for numerous drowning incidents each year. In Vietnam, Bai Dai Beach in Cam Ranh Bay, Khanh Hoa Province, has experienced an increase in drowning events due to rip currents in recent years. To address this issue, a comprehensive study was conducted based on developing a depth-averaged... More
