Quality Degradation

Population mobility, increasing demand for transportation, and the complexity of land use have an impact on environmental quality degradation and air quality pollution. This study aims to analyze (1) the effect of population mobility, increased traffic volume, and land use change on air quality pollution, (2) direct and indirect effects of urban activities, transportation systems, and movement patterns on environmental quality degradation and air pollution index, and (3) air pollution strategy and sustainable urban environmental management. The research method used is a sequential explanation design. Data were obtained through observation, surveys, in-depth interviews, and documentation. The results of the study illustrate that the business center and Daya terminal with a value of 0.18 µgram/m3 is polluted, the power plant and Sermani industrial area with a value of 0.16 µgram/m3 is polluted, the Makassar industrial area with a value of 0.23 is heavily polluted, and the Hasanuddin International Airport area with a value of 0.04 µgram/m3 is not polluted. Population mobility, traffic volume, and land use changes have a significant effect on environmental quality degradation, with a determination coefficient of 94.1%. The direct effect of decreasing environmental quality on the air pollution index is 66.09%. This study recommends transportation management on the main road corridor of Makassar City, which is environmentally friendly with regard to sustainable environmental management.

This paper attempts to adapt the value-focused thinking approach to the decision problems in the field of environmental management of buildings construction. A qualitative value model based on the results of life cycle assessment is presented. The model is applied on a case study in which a decision should be made on three types of roof structures: wood, steel and concrete. It is found that the roof structure made of wood is the most compatible option with respect to the environmental requirements of buildings construction. Thus, the value-focused thinking model can be used in different situations to analyze what management actions will be most effective to maximise the fulfillment of the environmental requirements of building standards.

The article presents the typological model of Yakutia’s natural and cultural heritage developed by the authors the substantial elements of which are natural objects and phenomena, material artifacts of culture, material and spiritual objects and spiritual elements of culture. This model demonstrates a rather stable sociocultural informational and value-conscious system, formed in the course of adaptation of the ethnicities inhabiting the region to the extremely severe environment of the North. The objects of natural cultural heritage create a system characterized in intrinsic relation by effective methods of environmental management, an original material and spiritual culture, a diversity of strategies of activity and managing. These reveal themselves in the rigid observation of natural rhythms, transfer to the subsequent generations of knowledge of features of the landscapes, natural resources, migrations of birds and animals, routes of nomadic wandering, places of settlements and nomadic housing, etc., as well as in the formation of a value-oriented spiritual bond with the primordial habitat, as well as the perception and celebration of its beauty and particularities.

Pertumbuhan industri yang semakin marak saat ini, membutuhkan komitmen dan tanggungjawab para pelaku industri untuk ikut serta menjaga lingkungan agar tetap lestari. PenerapanSistem Manajemen Lingkungan (SML) ISO 14000, menjamin konsumen dan masyarakatakan komitmen industry tersebut. Persaingan pasar yang semakin kompetitif, menginisiasiPT. Citra Abadi Sejati untuk meningkatkan citra perusahaan dengan ISO 14000.Permasalahan yang ada yaitu belum mengetahui secara mendetail dokumen dan tahapanproses yang harus dilengkapi untuk memenuhi syarat pengajuan sertifikasi ISO 14000.Metode gap analysis merupakan metode yang paling tepat dalam mengidentifikasi danmengevaluasi kondisi perusahaan saat ini, sehingga dapat dilakukan tindakan perbaikandalam implementasi ISO 14001. Berdasarkan hasil gap analysis secara menyeluruhdidapatkan nilai sebesar 15%, menunjukkan kesiapan PT. Citra Abadi Sejati dalampengimplementasian ISO 14001:2015 dan melakukan sertifikasi. Perlu dilakukan perbaikanterhadap 3 klausul yang belum terpenuhi dengan mengacu pada rekomendasi yang telahdiberikan yaitu klausul 4.1 ; klausul 4.2 dan klausul 9.1.2. The growth of the industry that is increasingly widespread now, requires commitment andresponsibility of industry players to participate in protecting the environment in order toremain sustainable. The application of ISO 14000's Environmental Management System(SML) guarantees consumers and the community the industry's commitment. Increasinglycompetitive market competition, initiated PT. Citra Abadi Sejati to improve company imagewith ISO 14000. The existing problem is not knowing in detail the documents and stages ofthe process that must be completed to meet the requirements for applying for ISO 14000certification. Gap analysis method is the most appropriate method in identifying andevaluating the company's current condition , so that corrective action can be taken inimplementing ISO 14001. Based on the results of the overall gap analysis, a value of 15% isobtained, indicating the readiness of PT. Citra Abadi Sejati in implementing ISO 14001:2015 and certifying. It is necessary to make improvements to the 3 clauses that have not beenfulfilled by referring to the recommendations that have been given, namely clause 4.1; clause4.2 and clause 9.1.2.

Reaction Proceeds

Natural Brucite (Mg(OH)2) decomposes on heating to form magnesium oxide (MgO) having its cubic ﹛110﹜ and ﹛111﹜ planes respectively parallel to the prism and basal planes of the hexagonal brucite lattice. Although the crystal-lographic relation between the parent brucite crystal and the resulting mag-nesium oxide crystallites is well known, the exact mechanism by which the reaction proceeds is still a matter of controversy. Goodman described the decomposition as an initial shrinkage in the brucite basal plane allowing magnesium ions to shift their original sites to the required magnesium oxide positions followed by a collapse of the planes along the original <0001> direction of the brucite crystal. He noted that the (110) diffraction spots of brucite immediately shifted to the positions required for the (220) reflections of magnesium oxide. Gordon observed separate diffraction spots for the (110) brucite and (220) magnesium oxide planes. The positions of the (110) and (100) brucite never changed but only diminished in intensity while the (220) planes of magnesium shifted from a value larger than the listed ASTM d spacing to the predicted value as the decomposition progressed.

Ion Emission

The theory of field ion emission is the study of electron tunneling probability enhanced by the application of a high electric field. At subnanometer distances and kilovolt potentials, the probability of tunneling of electrons increases markedly. Field ionization of gas atoms produce atomic resolution images of the surface of the specimen, while field evaporation of surface atoms sections the specimen. Details of emission theory may be found in monographs.Field ionization (FI) is the phenomena whereby an electric field assists in the ionization of gas atoms via tunneling. The tunneling probability is a maximum at a critical distance above the surface,xc, Fig. 1. Energy is required to ionize the gas atom at xc, I, but at a value reduced by the appliedelectric field, xcFe, while energy is recovered by placing the electron in the specimen, φ. The highest ionization probability occurs for those regions on the specimen that have the highest local electric field. Those atoms which protrude from the average surfacehave the smallest radius of curvature, the highest field and therefore produce the highest ionizationprobability and brightest spots on the imaging screen, Fig. 2. This technique is called field ion microscopy (FIM).
