In recent decades, environmental crime has become one of the largest criminal activities in the world with disastrous impacts on…
the environment, and enormous costs for future generations. The environmental impact is illustrated by the rapid disappearance of rainforests, large-scale pollution, climate change, and the mass extinction of species. Environmental crime has become a global issue, and thus needs to be anticipated in social and scientific thinking. The studies of green criminology, environmental sociology, environmental law, political ecology, and conservation studies, among other disciplines, are increasingly engaged with crimes and harms against the environment. Bringing together and combining these approaches in this edited volume is crucial to understand and reflect on the environmental challenges that we face in the 21st century.

This book presents selected, peer-reviewed proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Material, Machines and Methods for Sustainable Development (MMMS2024),…
held in the city of Da Nang, Vietnam, from September 18 to 21, 2024. The conference establishes a comprehensive understanding of the key elements that drive sustainable development, with a particular focus on materials, machinery, and methodologies. Building on this foundation, the conference seeks to provide a holistic approach that guides policymakers, industries, and researchers in aligning local technological advancements with global sustainable development objectives. This alignment is intended to support informed decision-making that prioritizes greener solutions, particularly in relation to materials, machinery, and methods. The papers presented in Volume 2 of this proceedings book highlight cutting-edge advancements in materials science, machining, and renewable energy technologies. Key topics include butt fusion welding parameters, TiAl6V4 TIG welding properties, and CBN grinding wheel surface ability for precision applications. Studies explore single-point incremental forming, high-entropy alloy performance, and orthopedic trauma brace manufacturing using PETG material. Sustainability features prominently, with research on ACC parameters for electric vehicles, proton exchange membrane fuel cells, and Simulink energy simulations. Advances in biogas-enriched syngas combustion and high-pressure die casting optimization further emphasize energy efficiency. The authors extend their sincere appreciation to the International Organizing and Academic Committees of the Conference for their dedication and invaluable insights, which were instrumental in upholding the high standards of this event. The authors hope that this proceedings book will serve as a rich resource for academics, researchers, engineers, and students, fostering further scientific inquiry and innovation in the pursuit of sustainable development.

This book provides a fresh perspective on how mathematicians interpreted and responded to Dutch mathematician L.E.J. Brouwer's ideas. It offers…
an original outlook on the dynamics between mathematicians, their commitments to their working frameworks, and the establishment of scientific norms. Expanding on the collective scientific work literature, it prompts a dialogue on applying insights from social epistemology to mathematics, exploring whether such an approach can offer new insights into individual and communal responses to Brouwer's intuitionistic pursuit. As a result, the book is of great value to those interested in STS studies, history and philosophy of science and sociology of science, delving into topics like the social construction of knowledge, epistemic cultures, and disagreements and trust in communities. Amid ongoing discussions about the marginalization and legitimization of knowledge, this book arrives just at the right time to offer a thorough exploration of the reasons behind the marginalization of a specific school in the history of mathematics.
