The automotive industry is one of the most environmental aware manufacturing sectors. Product take-back regulations influence design of the vehicles, production technologies but also the configuration of automotive reverse supply chains. The business practice comes every year closer to the closed loop supply chain concept which completely reuses, remanufactures and recycles all materials. The book covers the emerging environmental issues in automotive industry through the whole product life cycle. Its focus is placed on a multidisciplinary approach. It presents viewpoints of academic and industry personnel on the challenges for implementation of sustainable police in the automotive sector.

En el contexto multicultural reconocido por la Constitución colombiana del 1991, los
asuntos étnicos cobran cada día más relevancia en función de su articulación con los
procesos de construcción ciudadana. Sin embargo, los medios de información colombianos,
a pesar de estar celebrando el bicentenario de una supuesta "independencia", se encuentran
todavía anclados a una visión "colonial" y hegemónica de "lo étnico" que ha fortalecido
una meta-realidad excluyente y que ha imposibilitado el desarrollo de una integración
pacífica y efectiva de las comunidades indígenas del país: al revés, las ha transformadas en
"voces ausentes". La presente exposición quiere ser una reflexión sobre los vicios y las
virtudes del periodismo colombiano con relación a los asuntos étnicos. A partir del análisis
de algunos casos de estudio y compartiendo la perspectiva de Antonio Negri acerca de las
"grietas" del Imperio, es posible pensar a un periodismo comprometido para la paz, con
nuevas modalidades operativas y nuevas estrategias de acción para la construcción de tejido
social y el fomento de políticas públicas orientadas hacia el desarrollo humano.

Alberta recently enacted legislation that will permit the creation of captive insurance companies. This legislation will not come into force until Proclamation, which is unlikely to occur before detailed regulations are promulgated to address capital requirements, financial reporting standards, the lines of insurance business that captives may undertake, or the persons who may be insured. These critical regulatory items are the subject of a separate research paper on the captive insurance market published by the School of Public Policy.

From contaminated infant formula to a spate of all-too familiar headlines in recent years, food safety has emerged as one of the harsher realities behind China's economic miracle. Tainted beef, horse meat and dioxin outbreaks in the western world have also put food safety in the global spotlight.Food Safety in China: Science, Technology, Management and Regulation presents a comprehensive overview of the history and current state of food safety in China, along with emerging regulatory trends and the likely future needs of the country. Although the focus is on China, global perspectives are presented in the chapters and 33 of the 99 authors are from outside of China.Timely and illuminating, this book offers invaluable insights into our understanding of a critical link in the increasingly globalized complex food supply chain of today's world

Underscoring the historic correlation between political control of the White House and the enforcement of labor policies, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration (OSHA) is seeking to reenter the union organizing arena. Many readers of Management Report are likely familiar with a 2013 rule that permitted union representatives to attend OSHA inspections regardless of whether the workforce was union represented at the time. The rule was eventually rejected by the courts and subsequently withdrawn in 2017.

Solid waste is a potential nightmare across India's large and growing urban population, due to inadequate policy and legislative instruments and to the deplorable organizational and financial capacities of urban local bodies. Sketching briefly the waste generation, collection, and disposal scenario across urban India, this article highlights the issues in institutional arrangements for solid waste management. It touches particularly on the impact of municipalities' financial health and autonomy and the limitations and potentials of alternative actors, particularly the economically exploited waste collectors and vendors of the nonformal sector. Direct and indirect financial instruments of cost recovery and generation control are advocated, taking into account their operational hurdles in capacity building of local bodies. The article further suggests that the nonformal sector be organized and that the private sector participate more widely in collection and recycling; it also suggests that nongovernmental organizations begin to train marginal workers and build awareness among the poor as to the techniques and opportunities of solid waste collection.
