Описание: Despite the efforts of Southeast Asian governments and of ASEAN, transboundary haze continues to be a major environmental problem in Southeast Asia. This book demonstrates that the issue is complex, and explains why efforts to solve the problem in purely political terms are ineffective, and likely to continue to be ineffective. The book shows how state-led, state-incentivised agribusiness development lies at the heart of the problem, leading to a large rise in palm oil production, with extensive clearing of forests, leading to deliberate or accidental fires and the resulting haze. Moreover, although the forest clearing is occurring in Indonesia, many of the companies involved are Malaysian and Singaporean; and, further, many of these companies have close relationships with the politicians and officials responsible for addressing the problem and who thereby have a conflict of interest. The author concludes by discussing the huge difficulties involved in overturning this system of 'patronage politics'.
Описание: This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International Conference on Intelligent Robotics and Applications, ICIRA 2020, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in November 2020. The 45 full papers and 3 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 66 submissions.

The Nagoya-Kuala Lumpur Supplementary Protocol on Liability and Redress to the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety, adopted on 15 October 2010 in Nagoya, Japan, provides an international liability regime for biodiversity damage caused by living modified organisms (LMOs). Its adoption marks a significant development in the legal design for international environmental liability regimes, as it incorporates for the first time in global treaties an administrative approach to liability.
This book examines the Supplementary Protocol from both practitioner and academic perspectives. In its three parts the book explores the historical development, legal significances, and future implementation of the core provisions of the Supplementary Protocol, focusing specifically on its incorporation of an administrative approach to liability for biodiversity damage and its relation to civil liability. Contributors to the volume include Co-Chairs of the negotiating group and the negotiators and advisors from some of the key negotiating Parties, offering valuable insights into the difficult-to-read provisions of the Supplementary Protocol.
The book demonstrates the significant changes in the political configuration of environmental treaty negotiations which have come about in the twenty-first century, and argues that the liability approach of the Supplementary Protocol has important implications for future development of international liability regimes under international environmental law.

Описание:
Applications of Hypothesis Testing for Environmental Science presents the theory and application of hypothesis testing in environmental science, allowing researchers to carry out suitable tests for decision-making on a variety of issues. This book works as a step-by-step resource to provide understanding of the concepts and applications of hypothesis testing in the field of environmental science. The tests are presented in simplified form without relying on complex mathematical proofs to allow researchers to easily locate the most appropriate test and apply it to real-world situations. Each example is accompanied by a case study showing the application of the method to realistic data.
This book provides step-by-step guidance in analyzing and testing various environmental data for researchers, postgraduates and graduates of environmental sciences, as well as academics looking for a book that includes case studies of the applications of hypothesis testing. It will also be a valuable resource for researchers in other related fields and those who are not familiar with the use of statistics who may need to analyze data or perform hypothesis tests in their research.
Includes step-by-step tutorials to aid in the understanding of procedures and allowing implementation of suitable tests
Presents the theory of hypothesis testing in a simple yet thorough manner without complex mathematical proofs
Describes how to implement hypothesis testing in analyzing and interpretation environmental science data

Описание: Kuala Lumpur, like many Southeast Asian cities, has changed very significantly in the last two or three decades – expanding its size, and 'modernising' and 'globalising' its built environment. For many people these changes represent 'progress' and 'development'. This book, however, focuses on the more marginalised residents of Kuala Lumpur. Among others, it considers street hawkers and vendors, refugees, the urban poor, religious minorities and a sexuality rights group, and explores how their everyday lives have been adversely affected by these recent changes. The book shows how urban renewal, the law and ethno-religious nationalism can work against these groups in wanting to live and work in the capital city of Malaysia.

Описание: Just back from vacation in Malaysia and an inspirational cooking class, Amy is determined to continue the exhilaration of the trip with a dinner party and not succumb to the creepy feeling that her middle-aged body, the economy and world affairs are all headed south. What these perilous times require are friends, food and wine.On a beautiful summer day in Seattle Amy is putting the finishing touches on her table and cooking with a dash of angst mixed into her pleasure. Her husband, Kevin, has his doubts about the event but tries to be supportive, solve tax problems for a client and squeeze a few moments for himself out of the busy day. The guests, all enthusiastic cooks and consumers, include Alan, Alexis, Ben and Laurence. Alan, a happily unemployed software salesman, is looking forward to his lunch out before dinner. Ben, a software engineer in the midst of a work marathon he hates, has forgotten about the party. Laurence, an unhappily retired aerospace engineer, declined the invitation and is consumed with his own finishing touches. Alexis, Ben's wife, is unhappily unemployed and may be anticipating the evening the most of all. Amy also runs into a friend she hasn't seen in a long time, which changes her day. When friends get together to have fun it's usually amusing, sometimes hilarious. But parties, like cooking, friendships and marriage, have ups and downs. It's never quite as easy as the host thinks it will be, and there are always surprises.The novel includes six traditional Malaysian recipes for roti jala, curry laksa, otak-otak, fruit rojak, rendang, and black sticky rice pudding.
