From Crisis to Creative Renaissance: How LEGO Institutionalized Innovation Across Organizational Levels | Book Publisher International

 

Creativity has long been recognised as a fundamental force driving human development, technological advancement, and cultural transformation. While early studies tended to emphasise the role of individual talent-particularly in artistic or scientific domains-recent decades have witnessed a growing emphasis on creativity within organisational settings. This shift has been largely fueled by the emergence of the knowledge economy and the increasing complexity of contemporary business environments, where innovation is both a strategic necessity and a competitive advantage. Organisational creativity refers to the production of original and valuable ideas within structured, often bureaucratic, contexts, and it plays a critical role in shaping adaptive, forward-thinking organisations. Its conceptual evolution parallels broader trends in management theory and economic development that prioritise interdisciplinary approaches to problem-solving. The present study explores the multidimensional nature of organisational creativity through the lens of a case study methodology, offering a detailed examination of how creative processes are cultivated, supported, and implemented within real-world organisational settings. Special attention is given to the mechanisms, cultural dynamics, and leadership practices that enable creativity to thrive across multiple levels of organisational life.

Analysis of Runoff Simulation under Changes in Climate Variability: A Case Study of the Upper Awash Sab-basin, Ethiopia | Chapter 1 | Geography, Earth Science and Environment: Research Highlights Vol.4

The impact of precipitation and temperature on runoff over land surfaces is examined through runoff simulation analysis. The Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) hydrology model is used in this study to predict the sensitivity of runoff to changes in temperature and precipitation. To investigate the sensitivity of runoff to temperature and rainfall, these variables were changed. Rainfall and temperature have a major impact on runoff accessibility by affecting the timing and contribution of water sources. For the entire upper Awash Sab-basin (1980–2010), monthly station-based temperature and rainfall data were used to run the SWAT model. The hydrological model was calibrated during an eight-year period (1993-2000), and the simulation findings were validated using historical stream-flow data at the Hombole gauging station's outlet for four years (2001-2005). The calibrated and validated SWAT hydrological model was used to perform a sensitivity analysis in order to evaluate the effect of changes in temperature and rainfall on the sub-basin's runoff. Utilizing the SWAT model, the effects of several theoretical rainfall and temperature scenarios on the yearly runoff of the Upper Awash sub-basin have been examined. This was accomplished by using temperature increases (up to 5°C) and variations in rainfall (+/-20%) separately and in combination. The findings demonstrated that in the studied area, runoff was responsive to variations in temperature and rainfall.  It has been found that a yearly temperature increase of 1, 2, 3, 4, and 50C results in annual runoff reductions of 0.085, 0.88, 1.75, 2.55, and 3.30%, respectively. There is a negative link between temperature changes and runoff, but a positive correlation with changes in rainfall. The findings show that rainfall has a greater effect on runoff than temperature rise. A 10% increase or decrease in rainfall will cause a 22% or 21% increase or decrease in annual runoff. The findings demonstrated that the availability of water was significantly impacted by changes in the climatic variables.

Seasonal Variability of Mixed Layer Depth in the Red Sea | Chapter 1 | Emerging Issues in Environment, Geography and Earth Science Vol. 6

 

Mixed layer depth (MLD), one of the most important oceanographic parameters, has been investigated in the Red Sea using in situ profiles. A monthly climatology record of MLD in the Red Sea has been derived based on in situ temperature profiles. Deep MLDs have been observed during the winter and shallow during summer. Transitional MLDs have been found during the spring and fall. Deeper MLDs were observed in the northern end of the Red Sea associated with the winter cooling of the high-saline surface waters. Further, the region north of 19 °N experienced deep mixed layers, irrespective of the season. Wind stress plays a major role in the MLD variability of the southern Red Sea, while net heat flux and evaporation are the dominating factors in the central and northern Red Sea regions. Tokar gap winds and ocean eddies significantly changes the MLD structure in the Red sea.

Climate Change and Increasing Flood Frequency in Kashmir [1815-2015 A.D.]| Chapter 8 | Current Advances in Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 6

 In Kashmir, flooding has been a constant since the region's creation. Since the 1890s, the frequency has dramatically grown. Several scientists today assert that climate change has increased the chance of disasters. The researcher looked at the primary sources of Kashmir history from the previous 200 years to assess whether there had been any climate change in Kashmir over this time and, if so, whether it had affected the frequency of floods in Kashmir. The researcher also investigated post-flood disorders to determine whether there was a connection between these diseases and climate change. Consequently, expanding telecommunication infrastructure necessitates more electricity to run, which is why we believe the topic of our discussion is pertinent. This essay explores how energy and environmental auditing, along with an effective energy management system, pave the way for green telecom in terms of green telecom networks, equipment maintenance, building design, and trash disposal. The talk focused on the use of solar power in telecom towers as well as research using case studies and governmental directives to satisfy the requirements of strategic fit compliances for environmental protection.

Impact of Infrasound in the Atmosphere of the Earth | Chapter 3 | New Frontiers in Physical Science Research Vol. 1

 There are organised infrasound radiants in the atmosphere of the Earth. The relationship between an infrasound and the phenomena in the upper and lower atmospheres is seen. It has been hypothesised that infrasonic waves affect Earth's climate. The results of research studying the connection between solar activity and infrasonic frequencies are given. When finding biosphere components that interact with infrasonic and atmospheric effects, ecological variables must be taken into account. Infrasonic waves with a frequency of 4–7 Hz are produced while wind turbines are operating in the Earth's atmosphere, according to an analysis of the acoustic field's frequency response.

Discovering what the Nature has Reserved to Us | Book Publisher International

 The remedies to human health problems can be found in nature. We derive our natural food from ecosystems, yet genetically engineered species and goods are impacting biodiversity, including humans, in this changing world. Humans, pollinators, plants, herpetofauna, birds, mammals, fishes, and other species have all been influenced by chemical use. Noncommunicable diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart attacks, and mental illnesses are on the rise as a result of heavy metals consumed by people as a result of pollution, climate change, starvation, and poverty. Because of wildlife mismanagement, pandemics such as COVID-19, Ebola, and others have killed many people and animals. If nothing is done, the world will be hit by many more pandemics, with a significant loss of faunal and floral health and life.

 

The list of natural foods that we inherited from our forefathers is not yet complete, and it is perplexing that so few individuals are discovering new natural foods from animals and plants. We are confident that the nature that surrounds Nyungwe National Park and other ecosystems in this country contains the medicines and new foods that we seek, and that by conducting consistent research and exploration, we will be able to find the answers to the questions we pose, as well as assist the world in finding the medicine and vaccine for pandemics such as COVID-19.

 

Biodiversity has an important role in ecosystem functioning, climate regulation, and the supply of products and services, all of which contribute to human well-being. Rural poor families rely on biodiversity for a variety of natural resources and ecosystem services, and their well-being is harmed when biodiversity is degraded, over-exploited, or abused. The specific pathways through which changes in biodiversity affect people's livelihood choices and strategies need to be more carefully identified, and people need to understand their relationship with biodiversity, in order to better understand the role of biodiversity conservation in social welfare. Having this list of medicinal plants is a way of waking up chemists, physicians, biologists, and other scientists to tell them that they need to discover answers for communities utilizing available resources and support the One Health System for long-term sustainability.

A Bibliographic Summary on Hymenopteran Parasitoids Collected in Biomes in Brazil | Chapter 05 | New Visions in Biological Science Vol. 4

 Our biomes and morphoclimatic domains are significant not just as natural resources in our country, but also as globally significant natural resource ecosystems. Parasitoids are extremely small insects that spend part of their lives inside their hosts. This host is usually another insect (usually an agricultural pest) that dies as a result of parasitism. The purpose of this research is to describe parasitoids found in Brazilian biomes. The brief review is a bibliographic summary of parasitoids from the Order Hymenoptera that were collected in the biomes listed below in Brazil. The research focused on the quantitative characteristics of the superfamily, family, subfamilies, genera, and species in studies linked to the theme (Taxonomic groups). A bibliographic search was conducted for publications published between 2006 and May 2021. From June to August 2021, the small review was conducted in Goiânia, Goiás, using the Electronic Scientific Library Online (Scielo) and the internet. Brazilian biomes are significant not only as natural resources in our country, but also as global hotspots of natural richness. Brazil is one of the few countries in the world where biological megadiversity, or major ecosystems, is still alive and well.

Understanding Land–Atmosphere–Climate Coupling Using Data from the Canadian Prairies | Chapter 4 | Challenging Issues on Environment and Earth Science Vol. 5

 For the past 60 years, analysis of the unique hourly Canadian Prairie data has transformed our quantitative understanding of land–atmosphere–cloud coupling at northern latitudes. The Canadian Prairie data is exceptional because observers at most major airports were trained to estimate the opaque cloud fraction in tenths, by cloud level, and in total on an hourly basis. Following the same protocol for 60 years at all stations, these trained observers made hourly estimates of the opaque cloud fraction that obscured the sun, moon, or stars. These 24 daily estimates of opaque cloud data are good enough to be calibrated against the Baseline Surface Radiation Network. data to produce daily short-wave, long-wave, and total cloud forcing climatology (SWCF, LWCF and CF, respectively). This critical cloud radiative forcing was previously unavailable for surface climate datasets. When reflective snow reduces the negative SWCF below the positive LWCF, the sign of net cloud radiative forcing changes from negative to positive in the warm season. As a result, there is a significant climate discontinuity with snow cover, with a systematic cooling of 10°C or more with snow cover. Furthermore, snow cover modifies the relationship between cloud cover and the diurnal temperature range. The diurnal temperature, relative humidity, equivalent potential temperature, and pressure height of the lifting condensation level are all tightly coupled to the opaque cloud cover during the warm season. With over 600 station-years of hourly data, we are able to extract, possibly for the first time, the coupling between cloud forcing and the diurnal cycle's warm season imbalance, which changes monotonically from a warming and drying under clear skies to a cooling and moistening under cloudy skies with precipitation. Because we have a large daily cloud radiative forcing, we can demonstrate that the memory of water storage anomalies, The memory of snowfall in spring extends back through the entire winter, and the memory of snowmelt in summer extends back to the months of snowmelt. Lagged precipitation anomalies change the thermodynamic coupling of the diurnal cycle to cloud forcing and shift the mixing ratio's diurnal cycle, which has a double peak. The seasonal extraction of surface total water storage dampens the interannual variability of precipitation anomalies in the growing season significantly. The large shift from summer fallow to intensive cropping, which peaked in the early 1990s, has resulted in a coupled climate response that has cooled and moistened the growing season while decreasing cloud-base. increasing the equivalent potential temperature and precipitation We depict a simplified energy balance of the Prairies during the growing season, as well as its reliance on reflective cloud.

Research on Plant Growth of Genotypes of Arabica Coffee on Water Stress | Chapter 5 | Advanced Aspects of Engineering Research Vol. 5

Due to the changing global environment, a drought-tolerant genotype must be developed. The parental environment may have an impact on the performance of Arabica coffee offspring. Arabica coffee was grown throughout a wide variety of elevations, precipitation, and temperature in Indonesia's North Sumatra province. As a result, a drought-tolerant genotype may be present in this coffee farm. The goal of this study was to see how water stress affected the performance of Arabica coffee genotypes. We employed seven genotypes from seven different habitats, as well as four different levels of water treatments (100 percent, 75 percent, 50 percent, and 25% field capacity). Plant height, stem diameter, and leaf number were all increased by paramaters. The green house was used to conduct a factororial experiment, which included a totally block design with two factors and three replications. The interaction between genotype and water treatment level was shown to be significantly significant. It could be inferred that selecting for drought tolerance genotypes from the existing Arabica coffee population is a viable option. Due to the substantial GxE interaction, selection should be done in a controlled environment.

Assessment of Temperature Variability Effect on Rice Production in Nasarawa State, Nigeria | Chapter 10 | Modern Advances in Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 3

 Cereal farmland production is critical for long-term global food stability. The quantity of cereal cropland production is partly a feature of climatic elements and is linked to climatic variation pulses. As a result, the impact of temperature variability on rice production in Nasarawa State, Nigeria, was investigated in this paper. The Nigerian Meteorological Agency provided daily maximum and minimum temperature data, which were translated into monthly averages, while the Nasarawa State Agricultural Development Program provided annual rice production data. The data was analysed using techniques such as the Linear Multiple Regression Model, coefficient of variance, and spatial data analysis. While both minimum and maximum monthly temperature variations influence rice production in the state, the latter, with a negative impact size of -3.145 and a coefficient value of -191,324.30 metric tonnes, poses a serious threat to rice production sustainability. Because of the negative effect of maximum temperature variations on rice production, Nasarawa State's rice production is vulnerable to climate variability as maximum temperatures rise. In contrast to the North and West senatorial districts, LGAs in the south senatorial district have more favourable positions for rice production due to less temperature fluctuation. To avoid the negative effects of temperature fluctuations, government and non-governmental agencies, as well as individuals, planning to develop rice farm project(s) in the study region should consider doing so in the South Senatorial District.

An Overview of Climate Change and Its Impact on Crop Productivity | Chapter 3 | Recent Advances in Science and Technology Research Vol. 6

 One of the defining challenges of our time is minimal change. This climate change is triggered by natural and anthropogenic causes and has a significant effect on the availability of different resources on the planet. The natural being is demonstrated by multiple methods due to the frequent tidal pulls exerted by the celestial bodies on the atmosphere of the planet and the improved one's are due to changes in the environment across past and present. Changes in the biosphere, biodiversity and natural resources adversely affect human health and quality of life. India is expected to experience warming above global levels in the 21st century. With more warmth in the winters than in summers, India will also begin to experience more seasonal variation in temperature. In recent years, with colder night temperatures and hotter days, the longevity of heat waves across India has spread, and this pattern is expected to continue. The average change in temperature is expected to be 2.33 ° C- 4.78 ° C with A doubling in concentrations of CO2. These heat waves will contribute to an increase in summer monsoon precipitation variability, resulting in a dramatic impact on India's agriculture sector. A steady increase in the concentration and temperature of carbon dioxide ( CO2) across the globe is expected by climate models. Local weather conditions, such as rain, temperature, sunshine and wind, can increase food production as long as plant diseases can be managed in conjunction with locally adapted plant varieties, cropping systems and soil conditions. The most recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) study shows that, relative to 1980-1999 temperatures, the average global temperature is expected to rise between 1.1 and 6.4 ° C by 2090-2099, with the most likely increase being between 1.8 and 4.0 ° C. Climate change will also affect global warming Precipitation trends, which affect both the amount of precipitation received and the distribution of precipitation in several locations over the course of an average year. With this climate change, impacts on the ecosystem, including the soil, can occur. Further analysis of soil-climate interactions in a changing environment is therefore important for resolving potential questions about food security. To resolve this, by inter-cropping and appropriate cropping systems / rotations / land use, we must increase crop diversity; implement land / water conservation agriculture methods suitable for varied agro-climates, balanced use of biocides / chemicals; increase carbon fixation in the soil by growing deep-rooted crops to minimise carbon foot printing; use water wisely: more crop / unit of water; use .
