This book explores the development of sustainable public procurement (SPP) as a strategic policy instrument to support decoupling of economic growth from environmental degradation and enhancing social well-being. Offering an in-depth case study of India’s SPP implementation trajectory, it discusses the challenges of integrating sustainability criteria into purchasing decisions, and examines policy choices and best practices to address them. It investigates the legislative, institutional, and governance framework for SPP in India, and identifies priority actions to accelerate wider uptake of SPP policy and practices. Furthermore, the book highlights the evolving role of SPP policies in response to emerging global mega trends, such as international trade, low carbon economy, circular economy, and Industry 4.0. Given its scope, this book appeals to scholars of economics, public administration, and environmental and social sciences, as well as to policymakers, practitioners,and advocates interested in steering transformational changes towards mainstreaming sustainable procurement practices in developing economies at the desired scale."This book comes at the right time to compensate for the lack of in-depth works on the origins, nature and reality of the implementation of sustainable purchases.”- Farid Yaker, Programme Officer, Sustainable Public Procurement, Economy Division, UNEP, Paris, France. “…If you are a procurement or sustainability professional anywhere in the world, please read this book. It will change the way you think and feel about your profession.”- Shaun McCarthy OBE, Chair, Supply Chain Sustainability School, London, UK & Director, Action Sustainability, London, UK

Additive manufacturing classification is one of the biggest issues faced by AM community. The book provides a comprehensive classification of AM, which can be useful to anyone working in any area of manufacturing. As the classification depends on the interrelation of various AM processes, the book provides concise and critical information of those processes, which can be helpful to anyone looking for a concise book on AM. The book provides original information unavailable in research papers.

This book provides a concise introduction to additive manufacturing, accessible to anyone with a basic background in engineering and materials science. The author explains additive manufacturing (AM) in terms of advantages and disadvantages and gives a concise list of advantages and disadvantages, enabling readers to understand AM in relation to other techniques. Additionally, this book clarifies various contradictions with the help of numerous examples.This book:Offers readers a unique, accelerated learning tool, revealing the subtleties of Additive ManufacturingDescribes a concept for refabrication in the context of additive manufacturing, providing new insight into repair and refurbishmentDiscusses additive manufacturing not only as a design tool, but also a production tool in the context of mass-production

A compreens o do comportamento dos animais ajuda na modifica o da gest o do dia-a-dia. Isto mais importante no caso de animais que s o na sua maioria criados em sistema intensivo. Nesta experi ncia, estudos sobre o comportamento relativo a dispositivos de aleitamento, padr o de adapta o a v rios dispositivos de aleitamento, taxas de crescimento em compara o com v rios dispositivos de aleitamento lan aram alguma luz sobre alguns aspectos importantes de gest o na gest o de leit es e ao conhecer estes comportamentos, bem como o padr o de adapta o, um agricultor estar em posi o de gerir os leit es de uma forma eficiente e ganhar uma empresa lucrativa de suinicultura.Os dispositivos de aleitamento foram feitos a partir de materiais dispon veis localmente muito adequado para pequenos agricultores ou agricultores marginais, mas para empresas de suinicultura de grande escala a automatiza o com melhor material dispon vel localmente pode ser til para o agricultor. A melhoria adicional dos dispositivos, incorporando tanto a t cnica ind gena como a cientificamente avan ada adequada condi o ind gena e a sensibiliza o dos agricultores atrav s de campos de extens o e outros meios de comunica o, ser altamente ben fica para a sociedade em geral.

La compr hension du comportement des animaux permet de modifier la gestion quotidienne. Ceci est d'autant plus important dans le cas d'animaux qui sont principalement lev s dans des syst mes intensifs. Dans cette exp rience, les tudes sur le comportement concernant les dispositifs d'allaitement, le mod le d'adaptation aux diff rents dispositifs d'allaitement, les taux de croissance en comparaison avec les diff rents dispositifs d'allaitement ont jet un peu de lumi re sur certains aspects importants de la gestion des porcelets et en connaissant ces comportements ainsi que le mod le d'adaptation, un agriculteur sera en mesure de g rer les porcelets d'une mani re efficace et d'obtenir une entreprise porcine rentable.Les dispositifs d'allaitement ont t fabriqu s partir de mat riaux disponibles localement et conviennent tr s bien aux agriculteurs petite chelle ou marginaux, mais pour les entreprises de porcherie grande chelle, l'automatisation avec de meilleurs mat riaux disponibles localement peut tre utile l'agriculteur. L'am lioration des dispositifs en incorporant des techniques indig nes et des techniques scientifiques avanc es adapt es aux conditions indiennes et en sensibilisant les agriculteurs par le biais de camps de vulgarisation et d'autres m dias sera tr s b n fique pour la soci t dans son ensemble.

La comprensione del comportamento degli animali aiuta a modificare la gestione quotidiana. Ci ancora pi importante nel caso di animali allevati per lo pi in sistemi intensivi. In questo esperimento, gli studi sul comportamento relativo ai dispositivi di allattamento, sul modello di adattamento ai vari dispositivi di allattamento, sui tassi di crescita rispetto ai vari dispositivi di allattamento hanno gettato luce su alcuni importanti aspetti gestionali nella gestione dei suinetti; conoscendo questi comportamenti e il modello di adattamento, l'allevatore sar in grado di gestire i suinetti in modo efficiente e di ottenere un'azienda suinicola redditizia.I dispositivi di allattamento sono stati realizzati con materiali disponibili in loco e sono molto adatti per gli allevatori su piccola scala o marginali, ma per le aziende suinicole su larga scala l'automazione con materiali migliori disponibili in loco pu essere utile all'allevatore. Un ulteriore miglioramento dei dispositivi, incorporando sia tecniche indigene sia tecniche scientificamente avanzate adatte alle condizioni indiane e creando consapevolezza tra gli agricoltori attraverso campi di divulgazione e altri mezzi di comunicazione, sar di grande beneficio per la societ in generale.

Das Verst ndnis des Verhaltens der Tiere hilft bei der nderung des t glichen Managements. Dies ist besonders wichtig bei Tieren, die meist in Intensivhaltung aufgezogen werden. In diesem Versuch haben Studien ber das Verhalten in Bezug auf S ugevorrichtungen, Anpassungsmuster an verschiedene S ugevorrichtungen und Wachstumsraten im Vergleich zu verschiedenen S ugevorrichtungen Licht auf einige wichtige Managementaspekte in der Ferkelhaltung geworfen, und durch die Kenntnis dieser Verhaltensweisen sowie der Anpassungsmuster wird ein Landwirt in der Lage sein, die Ferkel auf effiziente Weise zu managen und einen rentablen Schweinezuchtbetrieb zu betreiben.Die S ugevorrichtungen, die aus lokal verf gbaren Materialien hergestellt wurden, eignen sich sehr gut f r Klein- oder Grenzlandbauern, aber f r gro e Schweinezuchtbetriebe kann eine Automatisierung mit besserem, lokal verf gbarem Material f r den Landwirt hilfreich sein. Eine weitere Verbesserung der Ger te durch die Einbeziehung sowohl einheimischer als auch wissenschaftlich fortschrittlicher Technik, die f r indische Verh ltnisse geeignet ist, und die Schaffung eines Bewusstseins unter den Landwirten durch Beratungscamps und andere Medien wird f r die Gesellschaft insgesamt von gro em Nutzen sein.

कहाँ चली गई चुनमुन गौरैया, जो हमारी नानी-दादी की कहानी में चीना सोंवा की बाल टूँगकर खाती थी? भूरी, पीली, धूसर-कई रंगोंवाली छोटी चिडिय़ा। घरों में अपने घोंसले बनानेवाली, काँस के झाड़ में, बाँध, सड़क के किनारेवाले बबूल और कठजिलेबी के पेड़ में डबल स्टोरी घोंसला बनानेवाली दर्जिन गौरैया कहाँ गई? क्या हमारी क्षुधा ने सबको उदरस्थ कर लिया? प्रचंड गरमी, बेहद ठंड ने उसकी जान ले ली? पर्यावरण के असंतुलन ने गला घोंट दिया या खेतों, पौधों पर छिड़के जाने कीटनाशकों ने नष्ट कर दिया? इतने कुछ कारण तो हैं ही, कुछ और भी हो सकते हैं। वह चंचल भोली चिडिय़ा हमारे जीवन से गायब होने लग गई। बाग-बगीचे कटकर, खेत नष्ट कर बिल्डिंगें बन गईं, कहाँ रहेगी गरीब चिडिय़ा? लेकिन संवेदनशील लोगों की टीम ने मिलकर इसे पुन अपने जीवन में लौटाने के लिए प्रयास किया। -पद्मश्री उषाकिरण खान प्रख्यात लेखिका
