Societal development

The aim of this book is to extensively portray the highly diverse attributes of mountain waters. With this aim, we hope to not only convey a sound scientific insight but also to demonstrate the paramount importance of mountain waters for future ecological and societal development. 

Emissions are discussed with respect to (high) emission densities (related to area or population), but also considered as a result of long-lasting policies and societal developments. 

Societal development requires use of chemical substances with pragmatism, as well as proper and good management. The users of chemical substances must be well aware of the implications of improper use of a chemical substance by itself or in combination with another chemical. In fact, all chemical substances are toxic and there is no absolute safety. It is the manner of use of a chemical substance that brings either good or danger to the user, to the immediate workplace, and to the society at large. 

When similar requirements of diagnostic genotyping emerge for complex major diseases that do have ethnic or life-style components, much more ethical debate will occur. We should already recognize that by making drugs tailored for specific genotypes, we shall in fact precipitate these societal developments. 

Regulatory and societal development Ensuring that the entire development of each new therapeutic is seen in the context of its need to meet governmental requirements and that the appropriate value-added components (e.g. quality of life, cost-benefit, evidence-based medicine, relative competitive positioning) over and above the basic demonstration of safety and efficacy are integrated into the product s database. 

Technological innovation, rather than societal development, is seen as the primary source of growth. 

In recent decades, polymer science has definitively shown that macromolecules can be excellent candidates to create highly fimctional materials. With the availabihty of thousands of different monomers and the possibilities opened by their different combinations, polymer science has succeeded on many occasions when a material was needed for a particular apphcation, from the simplest uses as bulk commodities to the most sophisticated and special biomedical, engineering, or nanotechnological ones. Very few other technical developments in history have shown both the rapid development and deep societal impact of polymer science. Currently, the number of different technologies enabled by the existence of the adequate polymer is amazing, and the crucial role of polymer science in the current stage of societal development and well-being is beyond question. 

Indeed, the period from Wohler s accidental synthesis of urea in 1828 to the Biotechnological Revolution of today presents a remarkable pilgrimage with the potential for dramatic and constructive consequences for individual health and societal development.

Risk analyses have been used for decades in Norway to support decisions related to industrial and societal developments. Primarily these analyses have focused on the risk for concerned employees. In recent years societal security has become an important issue and the enterprises have to demonstrate the safety of their facility according to the SEVESO II Directive. In this paper we will discuss important steps in relation to developing an LNG (liquefied natural gas) facility at Risavika outside Stavanger in Norway. Natural gas from the North Sea is transported through pipelines to shore, and then being liquefied at a process plant before it is stored in a huge tank. The LNG is distributed from the facdity to local consumers by LNG tankers and LNG lorries. The LNG facility is now imder construction by the local energy supplier Lyse. The necessary approval from local and central authorities has been obtained. 

In current usage, the word "petroleum" has attained an almost magical meaning due to its importance to several aspects of modem life, influencing economic, policy, social factors. The price of petroleum is an important factor which will affect the character, rate and terms of future societal development. 

Innovation is the key to societal development, rejuvenation and business growth critical for the long-term survival of a company if it is to operate in the business world. It is also recognized that innovation is more than the invention of new products, but a complete multidimensional concept, which must be viewed from different perspectives in their... 

The possible development of such projects in other parts of Russia will provide an indicator of important processes in Russian societal development. As prominent examples of high modern architecture engaging some of the most renowned... 

The web information flood seems to be a treasure without a map . Democratization of the quest , freedom of access and usage of information is the challenge of our cultural and societal development, as web is definitely changing how we produce, consume and interconnect information. In this perspective a context-aware solution (Hendler and Berners-Lee 2010) could be a model also for knowledge awareness in Natural Hazards Disaster Resilience (NHDR), with the aim to make the scientific content more explicit. In this perspective, the need for a correct and precise vocabulary in DR is an easily understandable issue, whilst not easy to implement (Denaux et al. 2011).
