CO2lonialismo y geografías de esperanza by Julianne Hazlewood

“…A través de la exposición detallada de la deuda ecológica del Norte global con el Sur global, este artículo condena discursos y acciones que se enfocan en el mejoramiento del clima económico mientras arrasan los bosques húmedos, las prácticas culturales de vida de las comunidades y las soluciones reales al cambio climático.This paper takes us beyond the present economic crisis to where global warming warns of a much more profound problem: a structural flaw in capitalism. Theoretically linking relations between climate change, colonialism, and capitalism, San Lorenzo is investigated as an agricultural frontier where “CO2lonialism” unfolds in African oil palm cultivation and agrofuel production. …”

A risk-based approach to reduction of warm air infiltration for energy efficiency optimization in a cold storage system-a case study of a fruit packaging plant by Peter Kibagendi Mokaya, James Wakiru, Josephat Tanui

“…An Ishikawa diagram and a risk-based Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) were used to identify and prioritize root causes, respectively, and a modified decision tree was then utilized to structure the mitigation strategy. The study established a lack of awareness of cold storage operations, irregular and untimed maintenance of components, broken door seals, and inconsistency in the frequency of cold storage door openings as the critical root causes for the warm air-infiltration challenge. …”
