The scientific production on the Innovation, especially on Sustainable Innovation, has grown in recent years. Various expressions and definitions for sustainability and innovation have been reported in the literature. Sometimes the two concepts are combined and described with one term, Sustainable Innovation. Research on sustainable innovation has grown in popularity due to the need to incorpor…

Environmental sustainability is one of the main goals of all countries in the world. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have been proposed by the United Nations in 2015. The purpose of this paper is to explore if and how European countries achievethe goals of environmental sustainability (tracked by the SDGs number 13, 14, and 15). In particular, SDG 13 refers to climate change and its impact…
The growing success of Machine Learning (ML) is making significant improvements to predictive models, facilitating their integration in various application fields, especially the healthcare context. However, it still has limitations and drawbacks, such as the lack of interpretability which does not allow users to understand how certain decisions are made. This drawback is identified with the te…

Energy‐dependent full‐field transmission soft X‐ray microscopy is a powerful technique that provides chemical information with spatial resolution at the nanoscale. Oxygen K‐level transitions can be optimally detected, and we used this technique to study the discharge products of lithium‐oxygen batteries, where this element undergoes a complex chemistry, involving at least three differ…
This chapter provides an introduction to quantifying the energy consumed by software. It is written for computer scientists, software engineers, embedded system developers and programmers who want to understand how to measure the energy consumed by the code they write in order to optimize for energy efficiency. We start with an overview of the electrical foundations of energy measurement and sh…
The connection between sustainability and the future has its roots in the early days of environmental movements. The report ‘The Limits to Growth’ (Meadows et al., 1974) highlights how sustainable action implies wide-ranging, systemic considerations and forward-looking thinking. This is also reflected in the definition of Sustainable Development provided in the Report ‘Our Common Futur…
An efficient waste management for emerging photovoltaic (PV) technologies is not mature yet. The problematic aspects along with the possible failure’s identification have a pivotal role in modelling the future end-of-life management strategies. The identification of substances of concern (e.g. high cost, low availability, and high toxicity) and valuable materials is a key point to better defi…
Lancelot "Capability" Brown adalah salah satu perancang lanskap paling berpengaruh di abad kedelapan belas pada saat Inggris berubah secara radikal dari negara agraris menjadi negara industri dan kolonial, sementara Eropa secara berkala dilanda perang dan revolusi. Namun, tingkat dan sifat pengaruhnya diperdebatkan dengan sengit. Brown bekerja di ratusan situs penting di seluruh Inggris dan nam…
