Part 1: The Précis:
This particular article focuses on various aspects associated with past, the present as well as
the future that would help in managing the environment. This particular discussion revolves
around various game models at differential level with respect to ecological as well as
economic systems at various techniques based on analytical level. This basically includes
various results as they can be derived from surveying several information. The author also
discusses about various sub claims that are mostly related to procedures of imputated
distribution and through this the author tries to attain sustainability in terms of development.
The chapters mainly focus on improvement of ecological facilities towards agriculture and
transition at post-communist level.
Part 2: Vocabulary:
Non-coalitional Games, dynamic individual rationality property, stochastic dynamic game,
Nash equilibrium, Pareto optimal team, Hierarchical Games
Part 3: Reflection:
I think that majority of cooperative behaviour is shown on part of discrete game theoretic
issues and these various models would directly payoff the logarithmic value to a traditional
equilibrium concept. Various equilibrium strategies help in showing a cooperative behaviour
towards environmental standards.
Part 4: Quotable:
I feel that I need to exemplify claims of author against the quote “isolation, when followers’
act independently sustaining to Nash equilibrium structure” since because it would basically

bags. Environmental Pollution, 224, 289-299.
Part 1: The Précis:
This particular article generally talks about pollution due to plastic bags and their effects up
on the environment. This particular discussion plastics are usually recycled considering
various regulatory gaps and this is mainly done in order to limit various wastes and plastics
are regulated so that there is less exposure of them and prevent hazards associated with macro
as well as micro plastics. The author talks about various sub claims like Regulation
procedures to control EU chemical, proper packaging of various waste materials in order to
prevent them entering into the environment. The author also discusses about various
procedures in order to bridge the gaps that are associated with disposal of different types of
polymers, and also formulate recycling rates of various wastes at the landfills.
Part 2: Vocabulary:
Persistent organic pollutants, MPPE pellets, Polymer of Low concern, micro plastics
Part 3: Reflection:
From the discussion present in the article adaptation towards existing legislatures in order to
avoid littering places with plastics
Part 4: Quotable:
The author claims the fact that burden of provision of various types of polymers who will
pose threat to the environmental impacts.

Monitoring environmental burden reduction from household waste prevention. Waste
management, 71, 2-9.
Part 1: The Précis:
This particular discussion talks about prevention of wastes from households in the city of
Kyoto and this was made possible through utilizing different types of methodologies.
Reduction due to greenhouse gases can be made possible through prevention of wastes.
Various methods associated with quantification are absolute modifications due to generation
of potential wastes as well as varying amount of activities. A permanent method is in order to
assure prevention of wastes through estimation of potential methods or generation of
processes. I think the wastes can be prevented through proper processes of recycling, in
addition environmental impacts must also be taken into account. The author also justifies
various sub claims based on the fact that monitoring of wastes have significant impacts that
leads to better analysis of prevention activities associated with wastes.
Part 2: Vocabulary:
Prevention activities per household (Nprv), GHG reduction, default median, potential waste
generation (Mpot), Point of Sales Data
Part 3: Reflection:
The author of this particular discussion tells that impact of burden due to various household
wastes have to be prevented. This particular case study deals with various amounts associated
with prevention of wastes due to a difference from a particular year in the baseline. As the
situation talks about activities associated with prevention of wastes. Amount associated with
prevention of wastes is basically related to social as well as economic changes. I think that
demographics usually gets less affected due to recycling processes and it is absolutely

inadequate to make a comparison of the weight of preventable wastes to that of number of
recycled wastes.
Part 4: Quotable:
The author uses certain quotations like “self- weighing, monitoring or reporting”, “use of
control and pilot groups to compare changes”, “Attitude and survey behaviour” and “hybrid
approach”

Determining heavy metals in spent compact fluorescent lamps (CFLs) and their waste
management challenges: Some strategies for improving current conditions. Waste
management, 34(7), 1251-1256.
Part 1: The Précis:
This particular article usually focuses on determining of various heavy metals in constructing
various fluorescent lamps at compact level and he also talks about various challenges that
might be faced in order to manage those wastes as it would play a role in reducing various
emissions of greenhouse gases. However disposal of lamps finds it difficult as they contain
milligram quantities associated with those toxic metals for example mercury as well as lead.
Content associated with heavy metals like nickel, arsenic as well as chromium are usually
determined through coupling of plasma at induction processes. This author also takes into
account various sub claims that waste due to disposals of municipal waste bodies in landfills
associated with wastes. In consideration with responsibilities of producers it helps in
management of MNC wastes in the landfills.
Part 2: Vocabulary:
Mercury remobilization, coupled plasma-optical emission spectrophotometer, Multi-layer
perception, EPR program, advanced recycling fee (ARF)
Part 3: Reflection:
As per the studies associated with this scientific literature given in the article I can emphasize
up on the fact amount associated with mercury in each individual lamp can be decreased in
particularly CFLs that are produced when compared to levels of production in previous years.
The author says that there might not be any alternatives that would help CFLs to produce less
energies. Mercury contents of these CFLs can impose a great impact up on the health

conditions and also might pose threat to the environment. It is required on part of industries
to produce CFLs through application of EPR programme as well as allocation of funds to
construct various equipment as well as facilities that would help in collecting as well as
recycle CFLs in countries like Iran.
Part 4: Quotable:
The author recommends utilizing Multi-layer perception (MLP), a method in order to model a
perceptive model towards artificial neural network.

and future perspective. Environment International, 44, 141-150.
Part 1: The Précis:
This particular article talks about risks that might be faced by the environment due to
manufacturing of various types of fluorescent lamps in the country of China from perspective
of current as well as future aspects. The author states that lighting features that are mostly
energy efficient and they help in addressing various shortages due to electric power as well as
mitigation of climate changes. The author in the discussion mainly focuses on emissions as
well as risks associated with mercury that is released due to disposal of fluorescent lamps,
therefore the discussion concentrates on management of wastes as well as reduction of
various sources that spills mercury.
Part 2: Vocabulary:
Mercury contained in MSW management, Gross Domestic Product, Recycling elemental
mercury containing products, MOHURD directive calls, incandescent fluorescent lamps
Part 3: Reflection:
From my point of view energy is required to be saved as fluorescent lamps can be
manufactured from low con tents of mercury, special policies must be involved in order to
incorporate innovations so that mercury lamps can be manufactured from specific substances
so that utilization of those harmful substances can be prevented and equipment can be turnout
to be much more energy efficient. Before disposing those fluorescent lamps into landfills care
must be taken so that they do not cause serious environmental hazards. It is necessary to
recycle those products made out of mercury.
Part 4: Quotable:
