Trade unions and environmental movements are often seen as political opponents most prominently discussed in the form of the "jobs vs. environment dilemma". Based on historical examples of the conflict relations between trade unions and environmental groups in the Austrian energy sector, this paper showcases how the relationship between the two groups has changed from enmity to first attempts at alliance building. Drawing from analysis of union documents and problem-centred interviews conducted with Austrian unionists, it shows that newly emerging alliances between unions and environmental movements contain the seeds for a broad societal movement that can help overcome the paradigm of growth and actively engage in the creation of policies that support a social-ecological transformation.

The subject of this diploma thesis are instruments of environmental protection, which are used in the Czech legal system. With the aid of these instruments the state and other institutions try to ensure the most effective environmental protection. The instruments of environmental protection are divided into two basic groups. On one hand there are instruments with direct effect, on the other hand instruments with indirect effect. In the first group belong instruments administrative, conceptual, vindicatory and special. Economical instruments fall into the second group. Administrative instruments include primarily different commands, restrictions, permissions, standpoints, expressions, standards and limits. They are about actions that are applied by public authorities. To the conceptual instruments belong different conceptions, plans and programs that represent certain long-term documents of human aiming in a certain area. To the vindicatory instruments belong fines and other forms of penalties. We distinguish tort liability and responsibility for environmental damage. Economical instruments consist mainly of taxes and fees. They are distinguished by distinct effect on addressees by the fact, that they provide them the possibility for the choice of behaviour. To the special instruments belong...

The city of Santos, home to the largest national port, which is also considered the largest port in extension and ability to export and storage of cargo in Latin America, has been feeling the environmental impacts of the activities a few years ago; the movement of dry bulk made in terminals installed in Ponta da Praia _ neighborhood region is largely responsible for the emission and dispersion of particulate matter in the atmosphere, causing bad smell and cardiorespiratory problems in the population. The particles dispersed in the atmosphere eventually being deposited on the ground, destroying public property and private due to corrosive chemical composition. According to studies by Cetesb, the picture is worrying in view have already been found exceeded the maximum levels of air quality standards. Given this situation, action was filed by the President of the Federative Republic of Brazil in the face of the Mayor of the city of Santos, which enacted a law prohibiting the installation of bulk terminals in the Ponta da Praia region. In the present work, said the question of the triple responsibility of polluters and the importance of preserving the environment for present and future generations, highlighting the importance of the good inherent in human life, which can not be relegated to the background in face of economic interests. / O presente trabalho discorre sobre a interferência das atividades portuárias, especificamente as de transporte e armazenagem de carga a granel sólido de origem vegetal, que tem causado graves ameaças ao meio ambiente e à qualidade de vida da população lindeira ao Porto. A cidade de Santos, sede do maior porto nacional, o qual também é considerado o maior porto em extensão e capacidade de exportação e armazenagem de carga da América Latina, vem sentindo os impactos ambientais decorrentes das atividades há alguns anos; a movimentação dos granéis sólidos efetuada nos terminais instalados na região do bairro da Ponta da Praia é o grande responsável pela emissão e dispersão de material particulado na atmosfera, causando mau cheiro e problemas cardiorrespiratórios na população. As partículas dispersas na atmosfera acabam por se depositar no solo, destruindo o patrimônio público e particular devido à sua composição química corrosiva. Segundo estudos da Cetesb, o quadro é preocupante, tendo em vista já terem sido constatadas ultrapassagens dos índices máximos dos padrões de qualidade do ar. Diante desse quadro, foi ajuizada ação pela União contra o Município de Santos, o qual editou lei proibindo a instalação dos terminais graneleiros na região da Ponta da Praia. Assim, no presente trabalho, frisou-se a questão da tríplice responsabilidade dos poluidores e a relevância da preservação do meio ambiente para as presentes e futuras gerações, ressaltando a importância desse bem inerente à vida humana, que não pode ser relegado a segundo plano em face de interesses econômicos.

The aim of this study is four fold: (1) to determine 6th, 8th and 10th grade students&rsquo / environmental knowledge and attitudes, (2) to investigate the effect of the grade level and gender on students&rsquo / environmental knowledge and attitudes, (3) to examine environmental knowledge and attitudes of 10th grade students, exposed to &ldquo / Human and Environment&rdquo / course and those not exposed to this course, (4) to explore the relationship between participants&rsquo / environmental knowledge and attitudes. In this study the data was obtained by the administration of Turkish version of Children&rsquo / s Environmental Attitudes and Knowledge Scale (T-CHEAKS) as a measuring instrument to 2536 students from 18 randomly selected elementary schools and 10 secondary schools throughout &Ccedil / ankaya and Yenimahalle districts of Ankara in spring 2003-2004 semester. The data were analyzed by using two-way analyses of variance (ANOVA), independent-samples t test and bivariate correlations. A statistically significant effect of grade level was found on environmental knowledge and attitudes. While no statistically significant effect of &ldquo / Human and Environment&rdquo / course was found on environmental knowledge of 10th grade level students, &ldquo / Human and Environment&rdquo / course had a significant effect on attitudes toward the environment in favor of students exposed to this course. The gender difference on environmental knowledge was statistically significant for 6th grade students in favor of males. On the other hand, for each grade levels, females had more favorable environmental attitudes than males. Bivariate correlations revealed low, but positive correlation between students&rsquo / environmental knowledge and attitudes.

It is through the constant investigations, in the pertaining to school scope, on the diverse categories that make possible praxis of the Ambient Education and the laws that parmesan these actions that if justifies a look centered in the ambient question. For the accomplishment of the inquiry some theoretical sources of varied areas of the knowledge had been raised. The quarrel if bases on authors as, Leff (2001), Gutiérrez (2002), Sauvé (1994) and Moscovici (1978). It is to the light of the social representations that if made the understanding of the inquiry, thus disclosing, the possibilities of reflection, action and attitudes of involved s in the research, therefore these representations are equivalent to a set of principles constructed and socialized for different groups that transform the reality. The work made a boarding on the Ambient Education, the conscience of the same one argued, and still, it points the trajectory carried through for the school throughout the implementation of the Transversal Subjects. During the inquiry the necessity of the quarrel concerning the Ambient Education was presented, conceptions of Environment and the boarding to disciplinary for the understanding of not fragmented knowing, in sight of the necessity of the involvement of all the areas for a pertinent knowledge in the systematic education.Of some categories of environment represented by the educandos, the relation with the way was taken in account where they live and the dynamics of the activities carried through for the School Field that is guided by the collective construction of the Proposal Pedagogical. The activities developed in the school, Mental Maps and Half-Structuralize Interviews, register the results and had pointed ways that can contribute with the Ambient Education in the pertaining to school scope. Therefore, the relevance of this research is to make a reflection on the representations of environment and to contribute with the reconstruction of concepts for the e derivation of attitudes and actions that make possible the praxis of the critical and transforming ambient education / Analisar as representações de Meio Ambiente que o(a)s educando(a)s das séries iniciais da Escola Municipal Jarbas Jayme possuem, foi o objetivo dessa pesquisa. É através das constantes indagações, no âmbito escolar, sobre as diversas categorias que possibilitam uma práxis da Educação Ambiental e as leis que permeiam essas ações que se justifica um olhar centrado na questão ambiental. Para a realização da investigação foram levantadas várias fontes teóricas de variadas áreas do conhecimento. A discussão se fundamenta em autores como, Leff (2001), Gutiérrez (2002), Sauvé (1994) e Moscovici (1978). É à luz das representações sociais que se fez a compreensão da investigação, revelando assim, as possibilidades de reflexão, ações e atitudes do(a)s envolvido(a)s na pesquisa, pois essas representações equivalem a um conjunto de princípios construídos e socializados por diferentes grupos que transformam a realidade. O trabalho faz uma abordagem sobre a Educação Ambiental, discute a consciência da mesma, e ainda, aponta a trajetória realizada pela escola ao longo da implementação dos Temas Transversais. Durante a investigação foi apresentada a necessidade da discussão acerca da Educação Ambiental, concepções de Meio Ambiente e a abordagem transdisciplinar para a compreensão do saber não fragmentado, em vista da necessidade do envolvimento de todas as áreas para um conhecimento pertinente na educação sistemática. Das várias categorias de meio ambiente representadas pelo(a)s educando(a)s, levou-se em conta a relação com o meio em que vivem, destacado pela Escola Campo que é norteada pela construção coletiva da Proposta Pedagógica. Por meio de atividades desenvolvidas na escola, Mapas Mentais e Entrevistas semi-estruturadas, o resultado apontou caminhos que podem contribuir com a Educação Ambiental no âmbito escolar. Portanto, a relevância dessa pesquisa é fazer uma reflexão acerca das representações de meio ambiente e contribuir com a reconstrução de conceitos para a efetivação de atitudes e ações que possibilitem a práxis da educação ambiental crítica e transformadora

This master thesis deals with analysis and evaluation of quality, environmental and safety risks linked with two roof cover types. Malfunction analysis was carried out on the most risky roof cover component. Afterwards risk analysis was done according to ČSN EN 31010:2011 Risk management – Risk assessing techniques regulation. Following methods were chosen for risk assessment - Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA), RIPRAN method, cause-and-effect analysis (Ishikawa diagram) and Pareto chart. Using aforementioned methods, risks were identified and evaluated. Countermeasures for identified risks were suggested in conclusion.
