Purpose The purpose of this study is to promote clean technology development and diffusion through public procurement. Finland is ranked high among the countries that develop clean technology innovations. Innovative public procurement could be one means to boost the diffusion of such technologies. However, this potential is still somewhat unexploited, as innovative public procurement is an unsystematic method of procuring in Finland and the EU, partly because of an inability to understand innovation potential in the market and to implement innovative procurement. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the authors illustrate how cleantech aspects can be integrated into the public procurement process. The authors study the key success factors and conditions that have led to a successful cleantech procurement process by exploring realized cases of innovative public clean technology procurement. Findings The results suggest that innovative public procurement, in which clean technology is an integrated part, may occur in different forms, from a procurement of a highly improved product or solution to a product-service system or a collaborative symbiosis system. Life cycle consideration, strategic commitment and recognition of needs of the procuring unit were prioritized as the most important factors leading to successful integration of cleantech aspects into procurement process.

The global problems of energy supply and demand, climatic change due to artificial global warming, and providing economical and clean human comfortable condition are a complex issue. These problems have become globally political, economical and technological in the center stage of global arena. Utilization of alternative energy resources which are clean and green, hand in hand with the development of alternative clean and green technologies can indeed reduce the global and environmental problems. This paper invasions the idea of harnessing the power of clean energy resources and of developing clean technology for the production of clean environmental conditions. Synergization of clean energy resources, clean technologies and production of clean environment is implemented through the thermally activated desiccant cooling system. The experimental facility is constructed which consists of thermal energy system, desiccant cooling system and the artificially controlled environmental conditions for experimental evaluation purposes. Preliminary experimental investigation is being undertaken to evaluate the performance of the thermal energy system and of the desiccant cooling system. Based on the results, thermal energy system is functioning to its expectations. However, the desiccant cooling system still needs improvement to optimize its cooling capacity. With this study, practical combination of clean energy utilization and of clean technology development for the production of clean environment is possible through proper design and implementation.

For at least the next decade, as in the recent past, the materials and process area will assume a major role in the advancement of the propulsion gas turbine industry. The selection of promising material and process technologies, with highest payoff at lowest technical and financial risk, is a major challenge. Technology development programs undertaken in the laboratory are selected, based on design needs, compatibility with payoffs in specific and generic applications, and facilities requirements. Advanced materials and process technology efforts for exploitation include directional superalloys for turbine airfoils, clean superalloy blisk/disk materials, gas path seals for clearance control, thermal barrier coatings for airfoils and hybrid structures, composite materials, and rapidly solidified plasma deposited structures. These developments will contribute significantly to the major thrusts of performance improvement, weight reduction, reliability and life extension, and reduced initial ownership cost.

AbstrakSebagai negara kepulauan terbesar di dunia yang terletak melintasi garis ekuator dan jalur perdagangan penting dunia, maka potensi pariwisata bahari Indonesia sangat besar, baik ditinjau dari kekayaan alam maupun budayanya. Komitmen pemerintah untuk membangun bahari diharapkan dapat memberi kontribusi pada pengembangan wisata bahari. Penelitian ini mengusulkan keberlanjutan (sustainability) sebagai kapabilitas strategik yang perlu dimiliki destinasi pariwisata untuk dapat unggul dalam persaingan serta bagaimana mengimplementasikan konsep keberlanjutan dalam srategi bisnis destinasi pariwisata bahari sehingga keberlanjutan dapat menjadi identitas dan semangat bersama serta menjadi sumber keunggulan bersaing.Dimensi kapabilitas keberlanjutan yang diusulkan adalah mencegah polusi, mengurangi sampah dan limbah, menghasilkan produk secara bertanggung jawab, mengembangkan teknologi yang bersih (clean technology), melibatkan masyarakat lokal, mengantisipasi dan mengadvokasi peraturan, mengelola keterampilan yang ramah lingkungan, serta mengembangkan kerjasama dalam pengembangan teknologi. Untuk mengimplementasikan dimensi-dimensi tersebut diperlukan kepemimpinan dan komitmen yang kuat dari organisasi serta visi bersama (shared vision).Kata kunci; strategi manajemen, keberlanjutan, kapabilitas berkelanjutan,strategi berkelanjutanAbstractAs the largest archipelago in the world that lies across the equator and important trade lanes of the world, the Indonesian marine tourism potential is enormous, both in terms of natural and cultural wealth. The government's commitment to build a nautical expected to contribute to the development of nautical tourism. This study proposes sustainability (sustainability) as a strategic capability that needs to be owned tourism destination to be ahead of the competition as well as how to apply the concepts of sustainability in business srategi maritime tourism destination so that sustainability can be the identity and spirit together and become a source of competitive advantage.Dimensional capabilities sustainability proposed is to prevent pollution, reduce waste and sewage, producing products responsibly, developing clean technology (clean technology), involving the local community, anticipating and advocating regulation, managing skills that are environmentally friendly, and to develop cooperation in technology development , To implement these dimensions needed leadership and a strong commitment from the organization and shared vision (shared vision).Keyword; strategic management, sustainability, sustainability capabilities, strategic sustainability.

Nanotechnologies present significant new challenges for the study of technoethics. While they are surrounded by high expectations there is considerable uncertainty about their impact. Discussions about their likely ethical implications have often assumed that ethical issues and standpoints are relatively clear. The commonly held narrow utilitarian conception of benefits versus risks tends to overlook broader issues concerning the operation of power in problem definition, unimagined or unknown effects, and accountability. Drawing upon data from a recent UK-based study, this article examines how scientists’ and policymakers’ representations of nanotechnologies contribute to shaping thinking about the ‘ethics’ of this field. It suggests that their particular framing of the field is likely to constrain debate on a range of important matters in need of urgent deliberation, including the direction of current research efforts and whether the investments in particular lines of research are likely to bring about the promised economic and social benefits or have deleterious impacts. Overall, the study found that most of the respondents were optimistic about the perceived benefits of nanotechnologies and sought to distance their work from wider non-technical questions. Scientists and policymakers, it is argued, need to reflect much more upon their own assumptions and consider how these may influence the trajectory of technology development and public responses.
