Securing Water in Himalayan Towns in the Context of Rapid Urbanisation and a Changing Climate |Chapter 7 | Current Research on Geography, Earth Science and Environment Vol. 5

 

Towns and cities in the Himalayan regions of India and Nepal, and the Asian continent in general, which is home to over a fifth of the world’s population, are undergoing rapid expansion and urbanisation. The population in this region is increasingly becoming concentrated in urban and peri-urban areas.  Population growth, changing lifestyles, rising economic status, and the effects of climate change are all coalescing to cause acute water shortages, particularly during the dry season, leading to a situation of water insecurity in the region. This chapter examines the factors leading to water stress in the central and western Himalaya of Nepal and India, respectively, in view of the potential future impacts of climate change. The four towns of Dhulikhel and Dharan in Nepal, and Mussoorie and Haldwani in India, representative of urban areas in the lower Himalaya that are dependent on springs, streams, rivers and groundwater for meeting domestic and commercial water needs, facing a multitude of challenges in securing water, were chosen for this study. The most important cause of water scarcity in the study cities is the rapid population increase. In the cities, population growth and interlinked factors such as migration from rural areas, tourist influx, unscientific construction and degradation of recharge zones are causing serious threats to water security, disasters and pollution. Land-use change has further contributed to declining water availability in streams, springs, and groundwater reserves. The final factor that is influencing water availability, and can be expected to impact future water supply, is a change in climatic patterns. The present circumstances and trends indicate that ensuring adequate supplies of acceptable quality water for these cities will become ever more challenging in the decades to come unless city-specific climate-adaptive and equitable water supply measures are employed effectively.  Moreover, certain segments of city dwellers face greater difficulties in gaining access to potable water due to socio-cultural and economic factors. Therefore, to achieve sustainable, equitable and climate resilient water management, measures such as, protection of critical urban water zones, stream bank and gully stabilization, water harvesting and groundwater recharge will be needed along with augmentation of infrastructure, increased storage capacity, appropriate policies and institutional arrangements at local, state, and national levels for effectively addressing the issues of equitable water access to each of the households in the cities. Strategic engagements with the private sector and innovative solutions, as well as policy measures, are key imperatives to meeting the challenges in securing water for these Himalayan towns.

Vesicular Nanocarriers in Transdermal Drug Delivery| Chapter 2 | Pharmaceutical Research: Recent Advances and Trends Vol. 7

Nanocarriers are advanced materials at the nanoscale, designed to enhance drug delivery. Their ability to transport both hydrophobic and hydrophilic drugs is vital, as hydrophobic drugs often struggle with solubility and bioavailability. Nanocarriers improve these aspects by protecting drugs from degradation and facilitating their transport through the bloodstream. Despite their benefits, challenges such as potential toxicity, especially from inorganic nanomaterials, require careful consideration. Advances in protein-based nanocarriers, which are biocompatible and biodegradable, show promise in overcoming these challenges. In transdermal drug delivery, nanocarriers like liposomes, niosomes, ethosomes, and others, enhance drug penetration through the skin's barriers, improving therapeutic efficacy. However, issues like skin barrier penetration, cytotoxicity, and carrier stability remain areas for ongoing research. As this field evolves, nanocarriers hold significant potential to revolutionize drug delivery by offering targeted, sustained release with minimized systemic toxicity.

Kidnapping as a Business Activity and Related Security Implications: A Nigerian Perspective | Chapter 10 | New Ideas Concerning Arts and Social Studies Vol. 1

Kidnapping for ransom has become a serious problem in Nigeria, affecting individuals, families, and society as a whole. While criminals may benefit financially from this illegal activity, the consequences are devastating for victims and hinder the country’s economic growth. The increasing rate of kidnapping has created fear among citizens, discouraged tourism and investment, and posed a major challenge to security management.

 

This study examines the causes of kidnapping and its impact on security and development in Nigeria. The findings suggest that factors like unemployment, poverty, drug abuse, and social inequality contribute to the rise of kidnapping, with many young people getting involved in these crimes. Despite government efforts to tackle the issue, kidnapping continues to spread.

 

To address this problem, society must educate and guide young people toward positive values like honesty, integrity, and non-violence. The government must also take strong action by creating more job opportunities, investing in infrastructure, and reducing poverty to discourage youth from turning to crime. Only by tackling the root causes can Nigeria achieve a safer and more stable society.

Navigating Implementation Challenges of Enterprise Resource Planning Systems in the Tanzania Mining Industry: Evidence from Barrick Mining Company Tanzania | Chapter 10 | Contemporary Research in Business, Management and Economics Vol. 2

 The study assessed the implementation challenges of ERP systems in the Tanzania mining industry. Businesses are under increased pressure to minimize supply chain costs overall, increase throughout, decrease inventory, diversify their product offerings, enhance customer service, raise quality, raise efficiency and synchronize global demand, supply and production. A mixed research approach was employed, in that regard, a case study design was used. Since the approach of the study was qualitative, then the content/ thematic analysis was employed. However, the quantitative data collected were analyzed by using Statistical Packaging for Social Sciences (SPSS). The study finding shows that, despite the ERP's success, its implementation of it has been constrained by some challenges. For example, the challenge which were identified by the respondents was the high cost of implantation (87.50%) due to the investment of newly acquired technology which requires investment of a lot of money which many organizations cannot afford it. According to the study's findings, there is a higher chance of success when management accountants are involved in the implementation of an ERP system. There was a lot of frustration during the installation phase because the task is not simple. But in cases where deployments are effective, data quality improves, information is available more quickly and decision-making is enhanced. Also, the IT infrastructures in the country have been reported by respondents to be incapable of accommodating most of the new technologies (84.38%). Furthermore, the findings reveal that the performance and acquisition of the ERP system were constrained by a lack of enough and qualified personnel which makes it difficult to make the implementation of its at large scale (71.88%). The study concludes that the system is important to be adopted and applied not only in the mining sector but also in all sectors of the economy.  According to the study, management accountants should be able to easily communicate with the management team and summarize and explain the results (the financial data's impact) in plain language. It is imperative that management accountants adopt a collaborative position with managers.

Privacy and Security in Cloud-Based Computing: Challenges and Solutions | Chapter 1 | Research and Applications Towards Mathematics and Computer Science Vol. 2

 Cloud calculating is now individual of the most rapidly increasing sectors in the data processing industry. The term "cloud computing" refers to differing devices, forms, programs, and services that can be achieve via the WWW or internet-based networks. There are many risks that can jeopardise the privacy and protection of the internet environment. Thus, these issues, in addition to potential solutions, are argued in this paper. Consumer hesitance to use cloud calculating services is still generally driven by concerns pertaining to the protection of cloud computing, especially the security and privacy of dossier in the cloud. To be more precise, these concerns involve loss of user dossier, data leaks, and solitude exposure. Cloud computing specifies companies and administration organisations with a suitable active environment and miscellaneous other benefits. Thus, skilled are significant issues with dossier security and solitude. Third parties are in charge of directing and storing the consumer's information. Most cloud computing consumers want their data expected protected against unauthorised access or misuse. Both things and businesses the one use the cloud are impacted by the lack of dossier protection, that leads to a number of challenges and problems, containing data stealing. Concerns about privacy increase as "cloud computing" expands and changes fast. Privacy and security worries are a obstruction to the adoption of cloud computing. In line with this, cloud protection issues and potential solutions will be argued in this work. For researchers and safety experts. This item will provide researchers and protection experts accompanying important information on solitude concerns, as well as potential answers.
