Abstract

The need for reliable energy is an ongoing challenge. Poor energy access, particularly in off-grid areas, constrains socioeconomic development and reduces resilience against natural hazards. With water-based disasters becoming more frequent and intense, it is important that holistic insights are applied to the assessment of community vulnerabilities and capabilities. Humanitarian engineering interventions that combine renewable energy and flood early warning at the local level offer comprehensive solutions, have long-term potential, and promote synergies between community and professional stakeholders. This study examines a community-centered approach to localised hydropower and flood response within a framework of sustainable development. Using a systems approach, we develop strategies that potentially address multiple needs, including the intersecting needs of key stakeholder groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Activated carbons (ACs) were prepared from various agricultural wastes, namely, lapsi seed stones, beleric seeds, peach stones, walnut shells, bamboo, and sugarcane bagasse by pyrolysis with chemical activation by phosphoric acid. As‐synthesized ACs were characterized by iodine number, methylene blue number, surface area, scanning electron microscopy, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and X‐ray diffraction. The highest carbon yield was recorded for the AC derived from peach stones. The highest surface areas were achieved in ACs prepared from peach stones and walnut shells. All the ACs have an external surface covered with regular pores of different shapes and sizes, an amorphous nature, and similar oxygen‐containing surface functional groups. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Public private partnership (PPP) is a contractual agreement between public agency and private sector to accomplish the certain task. The PPP model has been adopted in different sectors in Nepal. To assess the effectiveness of PPP model in vegetable sector, a case of tomato hybrid cultivar Srijana seed production in Nepal was selected. This study employed qualitative approach of analysis. Information was collected from key stakeholders and ex perts through semi-structured interview schedule; and review of reports. Study found three types of PPP model ex isting on hybrid tomato seed production in Nepal namely: farmers group directly linked with NA RC; NGOs facilitating community based seed production organizations (CBOs) and provide inbred lines from NA RC; and private seed companies providing inbred lines to CBOs from NA RC. Mainly NA RC has been providing technology and support services to private sectors to minimize the market risk in tomato seed production. A mong the different models, NA RC and farmer group collaboration was found more effective followed by NGOs facilitating model and private companies. The study noted that the agreement between public and private sector is not ex ecuted as per the MoU. Public sector for maintenance of parental lines of hybrid seeds and the private sectors for the multiplication and distribution of hybrid seeds are essential to maintain seed cycle. Moreover, prior information on demand of inbred lines, empowerment of local CBOs and capacity building to private sector is necessary for the effectiveness of PPP model in vegetable sector through formulation of conducive policy.
