Every year, thousands of academic institutions (universities, colleges, institutes) worldwide are evaluated for academic performance (in research and teaching) by such famous and influential rankings as QS World University Rankings, Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings, and Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU). These academic rankings are based on different subjective criteria and subjective weights attached to them. Therefore most institutions in the world (except a few top universities in USA and UK) show a wide range in their rankings (Table 1), which is problematic with correct comparison of academic performance between different institutions worldwide.Full Text

Currently, the major ecological concern in developing countries (e.g. Mexico, India, China) is the poor control of urban waste (highlighted by epidemics of rubbish dumps). This is leading to unsustainable use/depleting of the Earth’s limited natural resources and the global pollution of life-supporting hydrosphere, atmosphere, lithosphere and biosphere (particularly by phosphorus and nitrogen from food waste and hazardous chemicals from electronic and plastic waste) due to water/air streams and interrelated biogeochemical cycles. At present, the major part of all urban solid waste (USW) in developing countries goes to landfills, incineration and illegal dumps that is unsustainable and risky for both human health1,2 and the global natural environment (e.g. climate change through methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions3). Only a small part of USW in developing countries is recycled.Full Text
