Building Rural Community Resilience Through Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Drawing from empirical analyses, case studies, and a synthesis of best practices, this book explores how innovation manifests itself in rural places and how it contributes to entrepreneurial development and resilience.Innovation in rural places may come about as a result of new forms of collaboration; policies that leverage rural assets and address critical service or product gaps; novel strategies for accessing financial capital; infusion of arts into aspects of community life; and cultivation of networks that bridge entrepreneurs, organizations, and institutions.The chapters illustrate how a number of innovation-related characteristics relate to economic vibrancy in rural places such as a strong connection to the arts, adaptive and sustainable use of natural resources, value-chain integrated food systems, robust bridging social capital networks, creative leveraging of technology, and presence of innovation-focused entrepreneurs.Through exploration of these and other topics, this book will provide insights and best practices for rural community and economic development scholars and practitioners seeking to strengthen the rural innovation ecosystem.

Everyday Life-Environmentalism : Community Sustainability and Resilience in Asia
This book provides one of the first systematic introductions to the Japanese concept of life-environmentalism, Seikatsu-Kankyo Shugi.This concept emerged in the 1980s as a shared research framework among Japanese social scientists studying the adverse consequences of postwar industrialization on everyday life in communities. Life-environmentalism offers a lens through which the agency of small communities in sustaining their everyday life and living environment can be understood.The book provides an overview of this approach, including intellectual backgrounds and foundational concepts, along with a variety of empirical case studies that examine environmental and sustainability issues in Japan and other parts of Asia.It also includes critical reflections on the approach in light of contemporary sustainability challenges.The empirical topics covered in the book include local community responses to development projects, resource governance, disaster response and recovery, and historical environmental preservation.The chapters are contributed by researchers working at the forefront of the field.It provides only a glimpse into the vast literature that awaits further exploration and engagement in the future. The book is suitable for upper undergraduate students, graduate students, and researchers interested in environmental problems, sustainability and resilience, disaster mitigation and response, and regional development in Asian contexts, particularly Japan.It is well-suited for courses in anthropology, geography, sociology, urban and regional planning, political science, Asian studies, and environmental studies.

Where do polar days and polar nights occur?
Polar days and polar nights occur in the polar regions near the North and South Poles. During polar days, the sun does not set and remains visible for 24 hours a day, while during polar nights, the sun does not rise and the region remains in darkness for 24 hours a day. These phenomena are a result of the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun, causing extreme variations in daylight hours in the polar regions.

Why do polar substances dissolve in polar substances?
Polar substances dissolve in polar substances because they have similar intermolecular forces. Polar substances, such as water, have a partial positive and partial negative charge, which allows them to form hydrogen bonds with other polar molecules. When a polar substance is added to a polar solvent, the partial charges on the solvent molecules attract and surround the solute molecules, causing them to separate and disperse evenly throughout the solvent. This allows the polar solute to dissolve in the polar solvent, forming a homogeneous mixture.

The polar day and polar night occur in the polar regions near the North and South Poles. During the polar day, the sun does not set and remains visible for 24 hours a day, while during the polar night, the sun does not rise and the region experiences 24 hours of darkness. These phenomena are a result of the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun, causing extreme variations in daylight hours in these regions.

What is a polar day and polar night?
A polar day is a period of 24 hours of continuous daylight that occurs in the polar regions during the summer months. This phenomenon happens because the Earth's axial tilt causes the sun to never fully set below the horizon at these latitudes during this time of year. On the other hand, a polar night is a period of 24 hours of continuous darkness that occurs in the polar regions during the winter months. This happens because the Earth's axial tilt causes the sun to never rise above the horizon at these latitudes during this time of year.

Girl Power : Sustainability, Empowerment, and Justice
Power. Gender. Sustainability. This Element harnesses powerful new data about gender and sustainability, presents inspiring stories of empowerment, and introduces a framework for building empowerment muscles.First, from a pioneering global survey, it unveils three shocking truths about young women's empowerment.It also compiles significant data on systemic gender disempowerment intersecting environmental degradation, violence, and exclusion, as well as profound societal impact if girls and women were fully empowered.Second, from climate activist Greta Thunberg to the all girl Afghan robotics team, the #NeverAgain movement against gun violence, and the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement, today's empowered girls are a transformative force for change.Each modeling a distinct skill - an empowerment muscle - seven case studies present empowerment muscles of focus, solidarity, hope, courage, advocacy, endurance, and healing.Third, unlike most works using empowerment nebulously, this Element concretizes empowerment - a set of muscles each reader can build and strengthen through 'workout' training exercises.

Where do polar day and polar night occur?
Polar day and polar night occur in the polar regions, specifically within the Arctic and Antarctic Circles. During polar day, the sun remains above the horizon for a continuous 24 hours, resulting in 24 hours of daylight. Conversely, during polar night, the sun remains below the horizon for a continuous 24 hours, resulting in 24 hours of darkness. These phenomena are caused by the tilt of the Earth's axis and its orbit around the sun.

Is ethanol polar and hydrophilic or hydrophobic and polar?
Ethanol is both polar and hydrophilic. The molecule contains a polar hydroxyl group (-OH), which makes it capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules. This allows ethanol to dissolve in water and makes it hydrophilic. Additionally, the overall molecular structure of ethanol is polar due to the electronegativity difference between carbon and oxygen atoms, further contributing to its polarity.
-
When is the polar day and the polar night?
The polar day occurs during the summer solstice in the polar regions, which is around June 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and December 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. During this time, the sun does not set for 24 hours, resulting in continuous daylight. Conversely, the polar night occurs during the winter solstice in the polar regions, which is around December 21st in the Northern Hemisphere and June 21st in the Southern Hemisphere. During this time, the sun does not rise for 24 hours, resulting in continuous darkness.

Are salts polar?
Yes, salts are polar. Salts are composed of ions, which are charged particles. When salts dissolve in water, the positive and negative ions separate and become surrounded by water molecules, which are polar. This means that salts are able to conduct electricity when dissolved in water, as the charged ions are free to move and carry an electric current.
