The purpose of this study is to identify the sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) by using factor analysis (exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis). Using a survey questionnaire, data were collected 230 respondents from private hospitals in Malaysia. The findings found that the factor analysis for SSCM model was fit and acceptable with four dimensions (environment, information and communications technology, culture change, and risk management).

Ebook "Applied ecology and human dimensions in biological conservation" provides both the conceptual basis and technological tools that are necessary to identify and solve problems related to biodiversity governance. The authors discuss intriguing evolutionary questions, which involve the sometimes surprising adaptive capacity of certain organisms to dwell in altered and/or changing environments that apparently lost most of their structure and functionality.

Ebook "Mycorrhizas: Novel dimensions in the changing world" provides basic knowledge in mycorrhizal ecology, knitted with novel conceptual frameworks and contemporary perspectives, especially in the context of global change. In a fast changing world wherein anthropogenic climate change, biological invasions, deforestation, desertification, and frequent droughts have become routine hard realities, the contents of this book urge readers to rethink basic notions of setting and accomplishing objectives in mycorrhizal research to make sense vis-à-vis contemporary challenges.

Ebook "Transformation and sustainability in agriculture: Connecting practice with social theory" shows that for upscaling novel practices and organizational models it is important to include meso-level regime aspects in analysis and practice. The argument presented is that our understanding of the human and social dimensions of transformation processes can be enriched by anchoring practice and policy in social theory. A focus on transitions offers a clear view on the direction and velocity of change.

Ebook "Eco-management accounting: Based upon the ECOMAC research projects sponsored by the EU’s environment and climate programme" has provided a framework for linking environmental management with man­ agement accounting. It was funded in Theme 4, 'Human Dimensions of Environmental Change' in the EU Environment and Climate Research Programme. The project is of high policy relevance by contributing to the on-going debate on eco­ management accounting, reporting and indicators.

This paper presents the results of determining the coefficient of friction when cold plastic deformation by the method of cold ring upsetting with different lubricants. The ring upsetting process is performed with varying degrees of deformation with three lubricants used: industrial oil, cooking oil, and zinc sulfate powder. Based on the deformation and dimension change of the samples after the upsetting, the coefficient of friction was determined by correlation comparison with the friction calibration curve performed by Male and Cockcroft.

In the multi-dimensional model of data warehouses, data drawn from multiple sources is organized into fact tables and dimension tables. Data cubes pre-compute the aggregations of measurements along combinations of dimensions to speed up the processing of Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) queries. When the underlying fact tables or dimension tables change over time, data cubes need to be incrementally maintained to reflect these changes. In this thesis, we study the problem of incrementally maintaining data cubes under slowly changing dimensions.

The aim of this study is to develop a perspective on culture which would integrate the views of both opposing camps. By applying the principles of ancient Chinese philosophy, especially the Yin-Yang principle, a balanced, holistic conceptualization was proposed which hold that culture is composed of both a stable and a changing dimension, which dialectically transform into each other to give culture a certain degree of stability and inheritability on the one hand, and a momentum for change and variability on the other, in an ongoing, spiraling process of cultural emergence.

Small pre-packed columns are commonly used to estimate the optimum run parameters for pilot and production scale. The question arises if the experiments obtained with these columns are scalable, because there are substantial changes in extra column volume when going from a very small scale to a benchtop column.

This paper builds on the fact that high aspect ratio rectilinear tubing columns of the same length and outside dimensions can double column efficiency. It demonstrates that further improvements in efficiency can be made by using rectilinear tubing columns with half the wall thickness thus replacing heavy PTFE with light solvent systems and producing lighter higher capacity columns.

Any complex systems (e.g. municipality, coastal territory) are affected by wide spectra of factors, covering environmental, economic, social dimensions and by their complex interaction governance. Temporal and spatial changes of such systems could be described and hypotized by system-dynamic modelling approach, what could help create system model, describe state indicators, driving forces and response.

Vietnam and Cambodia have same significant strategic benefits in the Mekong Delta. And, the trans-boundary dimension and respective management issues are highline agenda of them. Although, the economic development of each country is different in the boundary region of Mekong Delta, two countries have a same problems as from the natural hazard (including flood, drought, acid sulphate soils, and saltwater intrusion) to the impact of upstream development, a myriad of flood controlling infrastructure, and the implications of climate change.
