“…This study came with a broad aim in order to fulfill the UN recommendations for 2030 agenda, which stated, "leave no one behind" [4], during the seventieth session of the general assembly, whereby all the head of states governments agreed to end poverty in all forms and dimensions in 2030. We selected South Sudan because we believe that it is one of the most affected nations in terms of food and energy security, which are considered to be major contributors to promoting poverty [36,37], and evidence is reported mostly in developing countries [38,39].…”

“…It was predicted that the world energy requirement by 2030 would be 31,675 TWh, and in 2004 the global production of electricity was 17,450 TWh. As part of the United Nations General recommendation under the theme Sustainable Development Goal on Sustainable Energy for All (SDG 7), energy is one of the key elements that was considered [2][3][4].…”

Estimation of Small Onshore Wind Power Development for Poverty Reduction in Jubek State, South Sudan, Africa

et al. 2020

Energy security is one of the challenging issues hindering developmental progress in developing countries. Wind power as a renewable energy source can play a significant role in poverty reduction if adequate information is provided. In this study, multi-approach technics were applied for a better understanding of the wind energy potential in Jubek State, South Sudan. Geographic Information System (GIS), remote sensing, and mathematical equations were applied in identifying suitable locations, potential power per unit area, wind farm layout, design of appropriate turbine size, and utilization of wind energy in both agricultural and domestic sectors. Wind speed, land use land cover, and digital elevation maps of the study area were processed in ArcGIS, MATLAB (Weibull distribution), and Minitab software. The results show that 17,331.4 km 2 (94.64%) of the study area is appropriate for wind power generation, with wind density of about 3.65 W/m 2 and installation capacity about 19,757.79 MW, resulting in an annual energy production of about 7269.29 GWh. With the proposed wind turbine, one ton of various crops and animal products require 1-4 and 2-20 turbines, respectively. Therefore, the step-by-step procedures followed in this study will contribute to poverty reduction through improving agricultural productivity and food quality.Sustainability 2020, 12, 1483 2 of 22 indicated that 3% (9 EJ) of the global energy was spent on agriculture, and up to 20% of the greenhouse gas emissions worldwide. It was generally observed that agricultural yield improvements result in positive energy ratios; this can be justified by the gained in using fossil energy as an input for agricultural activities-the harvested crops contain more energy than the energy consumed in crop production [5].A study was conducted by Cranfield University in the UK in order to review energy requirements for agricultural production from the field to the farm gate. They used the life cycle analysis (LCA) approach, which is a recommended method for estimating the cradle to grave, a product or process of environmental impacts. Selected materials were field crops (maize, wheat, sugarcane, beans, oilseed rape, and potatoes) and three animal products in the form of meat (lamb, poultry, beef, and pork), eggs, and milk [6][7][8]. Besides this, [9] reported a detailed work on the transport cost from farm to plate or distance from the production area to consumption zone. Such work is essential for understanding wasted energy and efficiency at an extent which is beyond the farm boundaries.In the LCA, in order to capture all embodied energies, it is necessary to consider all inputs used in the production of a given product. Therefore, the authors included energy used in fertilizer, buildings, machinery, and pesticides together with diesel and other forms of fuel as direct energy. For estimating inputs for animal production, they included energy for producing feed crops. Breeding overhead was also included in their work. Therefore, the final values presented in Table 1...

“…However, only 12 were directed to ensure the improvement of social and industrial behaviour towards a more responsible consumption, improvement of basic services, with a greener point of view, and better quality of life. Therefore, consumption reduction will lead to waste reduction, and several approaches should be done to stimulate the reuse and recycling of food products, improving the overall of food systems, from producer to consumer [8].…”

Management of Fruit Industrial By-Products—A Case Study on Circular Economy Approach

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The management of industrial fruit by-products is important not only to decrease the volume of food waste accumulated in the landfills but also to develop strategies through reuse with the purpose to valorise and add economic value. The disposal of food waste leads to different global issues in different sectors, such as social, environmental and economical. These by-products represent a rich source of valuable compounds (polyphenols) with high antioxidant activity, which can be extracted through biotechnological methodologies for future industrial applications. In this context, the management of fruit by-products is challenged to move from a linear economy to a circular economy. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to provide a critical view of an integrated valorisation of fruit by-products to overcome a global issue, via the production of antioxidant extracts with high economic value. A case study of pineapple processing industrialization in a circular economy is explored and discussed.

“…Kajian gender diperlukan agar membentuk mahasiswa mengerti tentang kesetaraan gender yang juga menjadi salah satu agenda dari Sustainable Development Goals (SGDs) yang dikeluarkan oleh Perserikatan Bangsa-Bangsa (Johnston, 2016). Muara dari mempelajari Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan yakni membuat mahasiswa mampu mengerti dan memahami hak dan kewajibannya sebagai warga negara, dengan kata lain berfokus pada citizens' behavior (Mattei & Broeks, 2018).…”

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan muatan kajian gender pada buku teks Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan di Perguruan Tinggi. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian analisis konten dengan pendekatan kualitatif melalui tahap, yaitu pengadaan data, reduksi data, inferensi, dan analisis data. Sumber data penelitian adalah buku teks Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan yang dikeluarkan oleh Direktorat Jenderal Pembelajaran dan Kemahasiswaan Kemenristekdikti tahun 2016. Unit analisis adalah muatan kajian gender yang terkadung pada BAB yang berhubungan dan berkaitan dengan kajian gender dalam buku tersebut. Hasil penelitian yaitu: (1) Penyusunan buku teks dilihat dari parity gender dapat dikatakan disparity gender karena hanya terdapat tiga orang perempuan dari 12 orang penyusun buku teks. (2) Terdapat pembahasan tidak responsif gender dengan tidak mencantumkan organisasi perempuan dalam pergerakan nasional. (3) Ditemukan beberapa ilustrasi gambar yang bias gender dan mengakibatkan perspektif yang salah tentang gender stereotypes dan gender roles. (4) Masih absennya kajian muatan gender dalam buku teks Pendidikan Kewarganegaraan di Perguruan tinggi yang semestinya hadir bila dilihat sebagai ilmu yang bersifat multifaced.
