It is predicted that the integration of climate-based early warning systems into existing action plans will facilitate the timely provision of interventions to diarrheal disease epidemics in resource-poor settings. Diarrhea remains a considerable public health problem in Ho Chi Minh City (HCMC), Vietnam and we aimed to quantify variation in the impact of environmental conditions on diarrheal disease risk across the city. Using all inpatient diarrheal admissions data from three large hospitals within HCMC, we developed a mixed effects regression model to differentiate district-level variation in risk due to environmental conditions from the overarching seasonality of diarrheal disease hospitalization in HCMC. We identified considerable spatial heterogeneity in the risk of all-cause diarrhea across districts of HCMC with low elevation and differential responses to flooding, air temperature, and humidity driving further spatial heterogeneity in diarrheal disease risk. The incorporation of these results into predictive forecasting algorithms will provide a powerful resource to aid diarrheal disease prevention and control practices in HCMC and other similar settings.
The main aim of this chapter was to elaborate on the concept of spatial planning in the context of sustainable development and its applicability in Ukraine. Furthermore, in the chapter the problem of regional planning is reviewed with reference to the modern sustainable development concept. Based on the results of the conducted analysis, the author suggested main directions for the reformation of regional planning in Ukraine in the context of implementing main European methods for ecologisation of regional development strategies.
The purpose of the presented research is to explore the perspectives of applying the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standard in Ukraine. The study had the following objectives: investigate the evolution of the ‘Corporate Social Responsibility’ and ‘Corporate Social Accountability’ theories; discuss the main objectives and functions of sustainability reporting; investigate the rationale of standards for sustainability reporting; analyse the experience of Ukrainian industrial enterprises in using the GRI standard.
This volume explores the approaches and tools for transition to sustainable development in the industrial sphere under the conditions of transitional economy. The authors of its chapters study the potential of voluntary sustainability standards and the main international initiatives supporting their implementation in transitional economies, discuss the issues of providing for sustainability through the state and legal regulation and the instruments of spatial planning, analyse the special aspects of marketing aiding the objectives of sustainable development. A special attention in this volume is given to the problem of implementing ideas of sustainable development into the university curricula and study programmes.
This monograph was prepared with support of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit – GIZ in the framework of international project “Establishment of the International University Network ECO-Campus for Greening of the University Curricula”, which was launched on initiative of the International University Forum held on 28-29 November 2013 in Dnepropetrovsk (Ukraine).
