This ubiquitous contaminant has been used by humans for many years, resulting in global contamination. When this toxic contaminant is converted to methylmercury, it accumulates in trophic chains, which is a major issue for wildlife and human health. The nine articles contained within this Special Issue on ''Mercury and Methylmercury Contamination of Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems'' endeavour to identify the historical evolution of Hg and MeHg levels in aquatic environments, and to evaluate the impact of current and historical human activities, such as mining, climate change, and soil erosion, on receptor ecosystems and food chains. 606 $aChemistry$2bicssc 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $aabandoned mines 610 $aAmazon rainforest 610 $abiogeochemistry 610 $aCytotoxicity 610 $adiel and seasonal cycles 610 $aecological restoration 610 $aenvironmental changes 610 $aerythrocytes 610 $aFrench Guiana 610 $agold mining 610 $agold mining activities 610 $ahair 610 $ain vitro 610 $alakes 610 $amalondialdehyde 610 $amammoth fauna mammals 610 $amercury 610 $amercury mobility 610 $amethylmercury 610 $amicrobial activities 610 $amine wastes 610 $amonomethylmercury 610 $amussel 610 $amussel watch 610 $aMytilus 610 $an/a 610 $aPalawan 610 $apaleoclimate 610 $aparticulate mercury 610 $aparticulate organic carbon 610 $aphotodegradation 610 $aPleistocene 610 $aPQMI 610 $asediment 610 $asediments 610 $aSPM 610 $aSt. Lawrence 610 $asuperoxide dismutase 610 $asuspended particulate matter 610 $awater 610 $awater-sediment interface 610 $awet deposition 610 $aYakutia 615 7$aChemistry 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aGue?dron$b Ste?phane$4edt$01294149 702 $aAcha$b Dario$4edt 702 $aGue?dron$b Ste?phane$4oth 702 $aAcha$b Dario$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557343403321 996 $aMercury and Methylmercury Contamination of Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecosystems$93022931 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04819nam 22005173a 450 001 9910284455503321 005 20250203235459.0 010 $a9781928396178 024 7 $a10.4102/aosis.2016.icbmd10 035 $a(CKB)4100000006375029 035 $a(OAPEN)1000441 035 $a(oapen)https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/37684 035 $a(ScCtBLL)7b90f77e-a898-463e-89c9-5039f3fc9cb1 035 $a(OCoLC)1051778415 035 $a(oapen)doab37684 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000006375029 100 $a20250203i20162020 uu 101 0 $aeng 135 $auuuuu---auuuu 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aProceedings of the International Conference on Business and Management Dynamics 2016$fMichael Twum-Darko 210 $aDurbanville, South Africa$cAOSIS$d2016 210 1$aDurbanville, South Africa :$cAOSIS,$d2016. 215 $a1 online resource (115) 311 08$a9781928396178 311 08$a1928396178 330 $aCape Town, South Africa, 7 Sept. 2016 - 8 Sept. 2016. Theme: Sustainable economies in the information economy. Purpose: To share the quality academic papers presented at the International Conference on Business and Management Dynamics (ICBMD) held from 7 to 8 September 2016 at African Pride Crystal Hotel and Spa in Cape Town. As grey literature, the proceedings are the contributions made by researchers at the conference and are considered the written record of the work that was presented to fellow conference delegates. Methodology: The methodology used varies from researcher to researcher but are suitable for the studies conducted. Thus, on the one hand, studies that were subjective in nature used the interpretive paradigm, where the qualitative approach adopted made used of the interview method to collect data. On the other hand, studies that were objectively inclined adopted the positivist philosophy and used survey questionnaires to collect data. However, there were some academic papers which used mixed methodology because of the nature of the study. Whatever methodology used adhered to the ethos of the philosophies underpinning the methodology. Contribution made to scholarship: The articles come from individual researchers and each article in the proceedings is unique. Mostly, there is no general argument leading from one contribution to the next. However, it is interesting to note that in the area of economic performance it was evident that real exchange rate and net foreign direct investment contribute more towards innovations in economic growth. With regard to human capital development, papers presented evidence that there exists a definite need to explore the phenomenon of personal branding as limited scientific academic research has been done within the field of personal branding or on elements of the topic. Thus, the outcome argues that personal branding has an influence on leadership style which in turn impacts on organisational performance and related hygiene factors. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that current methods or strategies for enforcing institutionalisation of knowledge sharing within an organisation have not been successful, and, as such, new strategies are needed to reinforce efforts to nurture and invigorate the institutionalisation of knowledge sharing within an organisation. With regard to technology and big data impact on organisational performance, it was evident that system performance, memory consumption and CPU utilisation can be used as criteria to compare and evaluate big data technologies to improve organisational performance. Most of the articles' contribution reemphasised technology education and training as a means of digitising business and improving effectiveness. Target audience: The target readership is academic researchers and business leaders who require access to the latest developments in the fields of economics, information management, business, education, development studies, social sciences and technology. It is also for policymakers and other stakeholders who need a better understanding of the impact of new developments on existing policies and regulations for their review or amendment. 606 $aBusiness & management$2bicssc 610 $aBusiness and Management Sciences 610 $aSustainable economies 610 $aFinance 610 $aAgritourism 610 $aBig data 610 $aKnowledge sharing 610 $aSix Sigma 610 $aSouth Africa 615 7$aBusiness & management 700 $aTwum-Darko$b Michael$0964504 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910284455503321 996 $aProceedings of the International Conference on Business and Management Dynamics 2016$92188193 997 $aUNINA
