TRANSPORT WITH A SOCIAL TARGET

The regions participating in the TWIST project are characterised by a lack of service and infrastructural balance in rural and mountain areas. The growing isolation of these populations, mostly older people, is the cause and the effect of the progressive abandonment of these territories. As a consequence, the resources assigned to the local transport services have been reduced, forcing the local populations to use their own means of transport and causing more traffic and road-related accidents as well as higher levels of exhaust emissions. The TWIST project aims at reducing the social and economic gap between mountain/rural areas and urban areas through the local implementation of different patterns of DRT (Demand Responsive Transport). The introduction of on-demand bus services in the territories is expected to facilitate access in disadvantaged and remote areas to more developed areas, offering opportunities of commercial exchanges, job search and social/health assistance. Starting from the supply and demand survey of the public transport in the territories of the pilot projects, the TWIST project will implement the experimentation of different on-demand bus services. A model to organise and evaluate these services will be elaborated and transferred to other regions with similar characteristics. The project will develop methodologies to determine the best technical and economic solutions for Demand Responsive Transport, and will help to harmonise the local transport services to safety, qualitative and quantitative European standards. The final output will be a sort of vademecum of best practices and methodologies to be transferred at regional and local level to the authorities in charge of planning and managing the transport system.
Values and Research Potential in Students of Medical and Human Sciences

Abstract Research is an important part of higher education. Personal values and attitudes of the students clearly appear in their own research works, especially in humanitarian sciences. The article is devoted to revealing the interrelations between values and research potential in philosophy and medical students. 153 students took part in research. We used Rokeach Value Survey, the technique of studying individual attitudes, method of study students’ research potential, a questionnaire, comparative, and correlative analysis. The study allowed to describe the hierarchy of terminal and instrumental values of students of philosophical and medical specialties, and to identify the differences between them. It is confirmed that the values have the interrelations with the general level of research potential and, particularly, with its motivational and behavioral component. There were identified and described the groups of values inherent to a students with high and low levels of research potential and social attitudes that influence on the implementation of research potential. The outcome of this study can be used for development of programs for increasing students’ research activity.

FROM MARGINAL TO RENEWABLE ENERGY SOURCES SITES
Recovering marginal territories, making them regain their lost value by pursuing sustainable development programs

The EU territory has an enormous under-valorised natural asset: marginal terrains (exhausted landfills, mines & quarries, brownfields & contaminated terrains, former military sites, etc). The project aims at re-qualifying marginal areas through investments programmes that focus on the installation of RES (PV, Wind, Biomass, geothermal, biogas, etc) that will contribute to a significant amount of renewable energy.This approach will hereinafter be called M2RES(From marginal to renewable energy sources sites). M2RES can boost EU's sustainable development, giving back social and economic value to areas that have irreparably lost it. Main activities: evaluating the potential application of M2RES investments in the SEE area; enhancing the transfer of M2RES known-how; assisting public administrations in developing territorial management plans for the startoff of M2RES;implementing demonstrative M2RES pilot projects proposals; establishing a Road Map for the permanent transfer and implementation of M2RES. National agencies will spread knowledge concerning M2RES through a wide sensitization programme (location & extension of marginal areas; connected problems; preservation of environment; returns (economic, social, environmental) from the development of RES applications in these areas.All PPs will contribute at enabling policies/strategies at national/regional/local level empowering SEE public administrations with management capacities and creating the framework conditions for boosting a truly environmentally-friendly RES market development.Regional agencies will assist public administrations in drawing up programmes/projects for favouring the start-off of M2RES. National agencies will support local bodies in starting-off M2RES pilot experiences through public, private or Public-Private investments, pacesetters for diffusion of M2RES projects in the rest of the SEE area. The Chamber of Commerce network will focus on development of the RES market, linked supply-chain and job-places
Reflexiones críticas sobre las teorías de placer, sufrimiento y malestar desde la psicodinámica y las clínicas del trabajo

Este trabajo corresponde a una reflexión crítica de las teorías de placer, sufrimiento y malestar en el trabajo, desde la psicodinámica del trabajo y las clínicas del trabajo. Se hizo un estudio cualitativo, en el que se analizaron diversos textos científicos en español y portugués sobre las clínicas del trabajo. Los resultados evidenciaron que, debido a su novedad, existe poca investigación sobre estas teorías en Colombia, tanto como subdisciplina y como posibilidad de intervención. Se destaca la poca atención que se presta al placer/malestar en los trabajadores, ya que se consideran conceptos de escasa relevancia para el bienestar de las personas en las organizaciones. Asimismo, se resaltan algunas de las diferencias entre el malestar y el sufrimiento, y su relación con la salud mental y la productividad en el trabajo.
Sorption-enhanced steam reforming of ethanol for continuous high-purity hydrogen production: 2D adsorptive reactor dynamics and process design

Abstract Sorption enhanced steam reforming of ethanol process for high-purity hydrogen production has been investigated in this work. A two-dimensional mathematical model has been developed to describe the coupled mass and heat transport phenomena within both the axial and radial directions of the adsorptive reactor for sorption enhanced reaction process. The product distribution from the numerical simulation matches well with experimental data obtained from a laboratory-scale fixed-bed adsorptive reactor. In addition, the performance of sorption enhanced reaction is found to be sensitive to the temperature gradient in the radial direction in a scale-up reactor. Afterwards, four reactors with a seven steps cycle operation scheme have been employed in a continuous hydrogen production process. It is found that a hydrogen stream (dry basis) with purity higher than 99 mol %, carbon monoxide content 25 ppm and 0.95 mol kg −1  h −1 productivity of hydrogen can be produced under cyclic steady state operation. The ratio between energy output and input is around 1.7, and the estimated cost of energy is 0.71US$ per kilogram of hydrogen produced. Besides, high purity carbon dioxide (dry basis) can also be captured as a by-product during the sorbent regeneration step in this process.
Comparing ARMA Processes with Roots of Modulus 1 and Polynomial Regression

Consider a process defined as where &#x1d539; is the backward operator, Q a polynomial with all zeros of modulus ≥1, and (Y t ) an ergodic stationary process. We show that , even if some zeros (real or complex) have modulus 1. In particular, if (Y t ) is a white noise, it becomes the innovation of (X t ). It follows that the polynomial regression model where P is a polynomial of degree p and (ϵ t ) is a white noise, is a zero-mean IMA(p + 1, p + 1) and that (ϵ t ) is the innovation of the MA part. A practical consequence of this fact is that the ARIMA model remains competitive even if the model is a genuine polynomial regression. Various numerical simulations illustrate that point.
Partial gasification of lignite in a bed with a pulsed reverse blast

The aim of this work is to develop a technology of thermal processing of brown coal to produce carbonizate with increased strength. Here are presented the results of an experimental study of the process of partial gasification of brown coal (grade 3B) in the bed apparatus with pulsating reversed blow. In previous work, it was shown that satisfactory strength of a particle (no less than 8 MPa compression) is achieved by limiting the heating rate, as well as, the maximum temperature of the heating medium. To provide these conditions, it was proposed to use partial gasification of the coal in the fuel-bed apparatus using a pulsating supply mode of an oxidant. Parameters of blowing: flow rate 0.022 m3/(m2 s); blowing period 25 s; stop blowing period 150 s. Under these conditions, the producing lignite coke had a crush strength in the range of 8–10 MPa. The product yield was 56%.
Development of a Method to Identify in-Plane Anisotropy Axes in Soft Magnetic Materials Using a Standard Vibrating Sample Magnetometer

A method of identifying in-plane anisotropy axes in soft magnetic materials has been developed using an in-field-only measurement technique. The method is based on an extended bi-axial vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM) technique that simulates the torque on a sample; giving rise to equivalent torque curves that are comparable with those determined directly using a torque magnetometer. Testing of the new methodology was carried out on magnetically soft and multi-axial nickel ferrite textured films deposited with various crystal orientations. The results compare well with the accepted bi-axial VSM technique, identifying the same in-plane anisotropy directions and relative easy and hard axes from the in-field measurement alone. This means that these characteristics could be determined using a standard VSM measuring magnetization in the field direction as long as it is fitted with a rotating sample stage.

The invention relates to a method for operating a valve train (1) of an internal combustion engine, which valve train comprises at least one main camshaft, on which main camshaft at least one cam carrier is provided in a rotationally fixed manner and such that it can be axially displaced between at least two axial positions, wherein an actuator (5) for axial displacement out of the axial positions into a selected desired position is associated with the cam carrier, wherein at least one shift gate (2) is associated with the cam carrier and co-operates with the actuator (5) to displace the cam carrier, wherein the actuator (5) comprises a driver (6) which is extended in order to displace the cam carrier in the direction of at least one sliding slot (3, 4) of the shift gate (2), wherein the sliding slot (3, 4) has an ejection ramp in an ejection region which ejects the driver (6) out of the sliding slot (3, 4) until the displacement is concluded, and wherein a voltage (U) induced in the actuator (5) by the ejection process is detected. The induced voltage (U) is integrated in a specific rotational angle range (23, 24) associated with the ejection region and when the integrated voltage exceeds a threshold level a confirmation signal is generated. The invention further relates to a valve train (1) of an internal combustion engine.
Quality of Work Delivery Practices at the Building Sites: Case Study of Building Sites at Gomoa Nyanyano-Ghana

Inadequate attention to quality issues has culminated in substandard work which could partly be attributed to unqualified project participants and non-compliance with building regulations and codes leading to inadvertent collapse and demolishing of building structures. The main objective of the study was to assess the quality work delivery practices at the sites. The study applied qualitative method of collecting data using questionnaires, interviews and observation. A total of 86 respondents took part in the study, 71 completed questionnaires while 16 were interviewed. The population constituted Artisans, Supervisors, Building Inspectors, Engineers, Architects and Clerk of Works. The most significant findings were that majority (64.8%) of the artisans had basic education with (16.9%) possessing intermediate or vocational qualification. 81.69% were apprenticeship trained whereas the rest 18.31% had both apprenticeship and schooling or schooling only. Most of them lacked the basic knowledge in Building Regulations pertaining to their field of work. Due to inadequate supervision and control of works, the use of poor quality materials and work processes was rife leading to substandard work at most sites. The principal conclusion was that much premium be placed on quality work at the sites so as to ensure quality structures and a remarkable increase in the satisfaction of end users. Keywords : Quality Control, Building Sites, Workforce, District Assembly Officials, Local Authority Byelaws, National Building Regulation, supervision, enforcement, Artisans, Qualification Acknowledgement: We are very much grateful to all those persons who in diverse ways contributed to the success of this study especially Mr Ebenezer Anohah of Mfantsipim Senior High School, Cape Coast-Ghana for his constructive criticisms and suggestions which helped in structuring this write up.
Traditional Fiber Hemp (Cannabis) Production, Processing, Yarn Making, and Weaving Strategies—Functional Constraints and Regional Responses. Part 1

Traditional (preindustrial) hemp (Cannabis) production and processing methods once used in Europe are compared with those of Asia. The commonality of climate throughout the hemp-growing regions of Eurasia, in league with the essential characteristics of all bast fibers and the utilization of hemp in particular, impose functional constraints on hemp cultivation and processing, and as a result many production protocols are shared among Eurasian hemp-fiber-growing cultures. Despite the commonalities imposed by environment and biology, fundamentally different methods have evolved within Asian and European hemp processing traditions. Two processing strategies may have arisen because of ancient relationships involving the earliest fibers adopted for weaving by different cultures—the hair of animals (e.g., sheep) being an early fiber source that still characterizes European weaving and bast fibers derived from annual plants (e.g., hemp, nettle, and ramie) being the ancient fibers of choice in East Asia. Here we ...
Connectivity among Mediterranean fishery stakeholders and scientists resolves connectivity of fishery populations

In this era of fast global change, defining connectivity and adaptive potential of exploited marine stocks while estimating social impacts of change to the livelihood of those who directly exploit the resource are challenging but key requirements towards sustainability of fisheries. Yet, these three levels of information are not captured by traditional management practices: boundaries of stocks are perceived as static, stocks are considered as non-evolving units, and local stakeholders are seldom accounted for at the decision-making level. Here, we create a Mediterranean-based network that includes local stakeholders, social scientists and fisheries scientists, to deliver a framework that will refine the efficiency of fisheries management. The project includes cutting edge genomics techniques - that provide high resolution insights in the connectivity and adaptation - and local stakeholder involvement through all the phases of the framework - to promote the capacity building and knowledge transfer between fishermen and scientists. The concept will be backed-up by a strong social component that will act as a vehicle to bridge and disseminate. This bottom-up approach to fisheries management will permit identification of fishery areas that are critical to preserve, both from a scientific and from a social perspective (local populations), extensively contributing to the sustainability of Mediterranean fisheries.
The treatment of families in the Australian welfare state, 1984 to 2010

This paper uses Australian Bureau of Statistics' fiscal incidence figures to track trends in the treatment of families with children in the Australian welfare state across the period 1984 to 2010. Our four main findings are that: sole parent families gained while couple families made no net gain; there was no growth in 'middle class welfare'; couple families are slightly better off than elderly households in terms of their final incomes, but considerably less well off in terms of their net worth; and stated differences in policy intentions by the major political parties have had little influence on trends in actual government redistribution.
Global business challenge: breaking the oilgas water dependency with a cost-effective  no-waste nanomembrane technology for water reuse

CleanOil consists on the introduction into the market of an innovative filtration solution to treat and reuse the produced water (PW), a highly polluted oily wastewater which is the largest volume byproduct associated to oil and gas production. The solution will allow achieving up to 80% reduction of water demand for oil extraction through the reuse of up to 99% of the PW, and will be based on a proprietary product - ceramic nanomembranes with an innovative production process - installed in a fully integrated solution with the equipment, instrumentation and advanced fouling monitoring and control tools and software.   
The project aims to achieve three objectives: (1) reducing the target membrane price up to 4 times, thanks to the upscaling of the nanomembrane production process, (2) launching worldwide highly competitive and cost-effective filtration solutions for the treatment and reuse of PW and (3) international consolidation through the new subsidiaries and strategic partners in high potential markets, aiming for a 3% share of the Likuid’s target industrial filtration market, doubling the existing actual staff and achieving a tenfold increase in EBITDA profit by 2020.  
Likuid has identified two market segments targeted by its innovative solution: onshore, with 680 Mill.€ target market (USA, Canada, Colombia, Mexico) and offshore, with 490 Mill.€ target market (North Europe and LATAM). Potential customers for Likuid’s solution are (a) the intermediary EPC, OEM and OFS companies and (b) oil producers, as end-users of the technology. In the project, onshore segment will be addressed with a Canadian demonstration for SAGD and tailing ponds and offshore segment is related to a demo study with Petrobras, who has already tested Likuid’s membranes. Successfull demonstration will boost the market uptake of the new highly-efficient and cost-effective Likuid’s solution, thus helping European cutting-edge technologies to position in the lead of sustainable O&G production.

Rol del profesor, motivación y competencias emocionales: Elementos olvidados en la educación superior

Esta revisión tuvo como objetivos establecer cómo se ha abordado a lo largo de las investigaciones —y el conocimiento basado en la evidencia— la relación entre la formación por competencias emocionales y la educación superior, así como indagar sobre la forma en que el desarrollo de estas competencias determina las motivaciones de los estudiantes. La búsqueda de información se realizó a través de la consulta en cinco bases de datos —ScienceDirect, EBSCOhost, Scopus, Google Scholar y Redalyc— y en repositorios de universidades nacionales —como Javeriana, La Salle, Santo Tomas y La Sabana— e internacionales —como La Laguna, UNAM, y UNED—. Tras esta búsqueda, se conformó una base de datos en Excel con el fin de clasificar varios aspectos de cada documento, partiendo de las temáticas clave, e identificando los artículos y los autores. A partir de los resúmenes de los artículos, se escogieron 22 que se relacionaban directamente con la motivación, las competencias emocionales y el aprendizaje, los cuales fueron analizados con el software Atlas.ti. Con esto, se establecieron las categorías de análisis que permitieran el abordaje de los conceptos centrales de la investigación. Dentro de las principales conclusiones, se encontró que las investigaciones se centran en la formación de licenciados y de estudiantes de educación básica; y que el tema más frecuente se relaciona en un 42 % con las competencias emocionales, un 12 % con el desarrollo de competencias generales relacionadas con el ejercicio profesional, un 17 % con contextos educativos, y el 3 % en investigaciones realizadas en espacios universitarios. Adicionalmente, se encuentran tres conceptos clave con los que se puede encontrar información frente a este tema —a saber, competencias emocionales, competencias socioemocionales, e inteligencia emocional—, desde la aplicación de instrumentos de medida o mediante la aplicación de programas que tienen como objetivo el desarrollo de las mismas, principalmente en población escolar, y un pequeño porcentaje en la formación de docentes y estudiantes universitarios. Finalmente, se concluyen dos aspectos fundamentales: la relación esencial que existe entre emociones, motivación y aprendizaje; y la relación directa entre las habilidades emocionales del docente y su capacidad para transmitir conocimientos y modelar las competencias emocionales en sus estudiantes.
