  • Reality of Triple Bottom Line
    Global Journal of Management and Business Studies. ISSN 2248-9878 Volume 3, Number 2 (2013), pp. 153-158 © Research India Publications http://www.ripublication.com/gjmbs.htm Reality of Triple Bottom Line Deepak Kumar Tripathi1, Arun Kaushal2 and Vikash Sharma3 1Management, SIT College, Sidhi, Near Collectorate Chowk, Sidhi, INDIA. 2IBM , Gla University , Mathura, INDIA. 3MBA ,Gla University, Mathura ,INDIA. Abstract In this paper we critically examine whether Triple bottom line is key to sustainability. The research paper reveals TBL is not an actual concept in modern era. it is the same concept as environmental assessment. Many authors and researchers have made an attempt to show down why the nobility is questioned. The real problem arises in maintaining a balance between these three bottom lines. when a firm start working on people and planet consideration they lose their profit share and if firm takes profit as main objective then why they should make unnecessary expenses by taking people and planet aspects because we all know that firm can get profit only if they survive for long run. The example we can take of Indian Oil Corporation limited which is investing a lot on people and planet dimension but they are not able to be in break even. On the other hand ITC is earning a lot profit and giving lot of taxes to government but are they really contributing to planet and people aspects by making tobacco products then the question arises where is sustainability aspects ,Are they really consider sustainability aspects . The second problem arises that the firm really takes this jargon as a marketing strategy to enhance their sales.

  • Global Suicide Rates and Climatic Temperature
    SocArXiv Preprint: May 25, 2020 Global Suicide Rates and Climatic Temperature Yusuke Arima1* [email protected] Hideki Kikumoto2 [email protected] ABSTRACT Global suicide rates vary by country1, yet the cause of this variability has not yet been explained satisfactorily2,3. In this study, we analyzed averaged suicide rates4 and annual mean temperature in the early 21st century for 183 countries worldwide, and our results suggest that suicide rates vary with climatic temperature. The lowest suicide rates were found for countries with annual mean temperatures of approximately 20 °C. The correlation suicide rate and temperature is much stronger at lower temperatures than at higher temperatures. In the countries with higher temperature, high suicide rates appear with its temperature over about 25 °C. We also investigated the variation in suicide rates with climate based on the Köppen–Geiger climate classification5, and found suicide rates to be low in countries in dry zones regardless of annual mean temperature. Moreover, there were distinct trends in the suicide rates in island countries. Considering these complicating factors, a clear relationship between suicide rates and temperature is evident, for both hot and cold climate zones, in our dataset. Finally, low suicide rates are typically found in countries with annual mean temperatures within the established human thermal comfort range. This suggests that climatic temperature may affect suicide rates globally by effecting either hot or cold thermal stress on the human body. KEYWORDS Suicide rate, Climatic temperature, Human thermal comfort, Köppen–Geiger climate classification Affiliation: 1 Department of Architecture, Polytechnic University of Japan, Tokyo, Japan.

  • A Learning Guide to Social Impact Assessment for Community Health
    A Learning Guide to Social Impact Assessment for Community Health SIX STEPS TO MEASURE OUTCOMES AND DEMONSTRATE SUCCESS Kate Kohn-Parrott and Roger Panella THE GREATER DETROIT AREA HEALTH COUNCIL BINGHAM FARMS, MICHIGAN The Community Health Peer Learning (CHP) Program aims to advance progress toward population health improvements through the expanded capture, sharing, and use of electronic health data from diverse sectors. Engaging ten Participant Communities and five Subject Matter Expert (SME) communities in a peer learning collaborative, the CHP Program builds community capacity and supports the identification of data solutions, acceleration of local progress, and dissemination of best practices and lessons learned. This learning guide is part of a series developed by CHP SME communities - highlighting their practical experi- ences, noting key lessons, and sharing insights relevant to those working as part of local initiatives to improve population health. The guides are intended to inform the ongoing work of CHP Participant Communities, as well other projects supported through a rapidly growing number of place-based health improvement initiatives. While individual guides address specific topics, such as community-wide information exchange capacity building, at their core, they also tell a story of how data infrastructure development, enabled through purposeful collabora- tion, can help drive better care, smarter spending, and healthier communities. We hope you find these stories to be engaging, practical, and useful! Table of Contents
