Aproximación a la evolución reciente de la gran propiedad agrícola en el Bajo Segura: el caso de Orihuela
Authors: Canales Martínez Gregorio , Crespo Rodríguez Fermín
Published: June 2015

The municipality of Orihuela has a huge extension of land, most of it unirrigated. This is the reason why the study analyses the recent evolution of these large properties from the decade of the forties onwards. These country estates of the Bajo Segura have experimented in the last decades changes of great significance, on one hand, the dry lands have been transformed into irrigated ones with the waters of the Trasvase Tajo-Segura; on the other hand, and due to the fact that they are close to the coast, some of them are now turistic urbanizations. Therefore, we now find a speculative use of the land based on a fertile agriculture and on a turistic development. One use does not exclude the other and in some properties both of them are combined.
Notas sobre la utilización del Impuesto de Incremento del Valor de los Terrenos en el estudio de espacios turísticos
Authors: Vera Rebollo José Fernando
Published: June 2015

The search of new sources of information for the study of mechanims that form holiday resorts along the coast has lead to the use of certain records. Registro del Impuesto sobre Incremento del Valor de los Terrenos. The variables contained in these records, although they defer in each municipality, as they are a municipal independent tax, confine to the following: prices of the square metre of land, agents that operate in a certain area (acquireres and transferents) and their geographical origin, types of properties, places affected by the transmissiones and date of the operation (present day and previous to the substraction). The use of this source of information derives from the possibility of correlating the different variables, yet the information must be completed with the study of other important records, los Padrones de Solares, as well as an intensive fieldwork.
La terminación oriental del «accidente» Cádiz-Alicante
Authors: Cuenca Payá Artemio
Published: June 2015

Se estudia la incidencia del sistema de fractura Cádiz-Alicante sobre la morfología del sector comprendido entre el Cabo de las Huertas y el Sur de Torrevieja. El deslizamiento del bloque meridional hacia el SW, iniciado en el Mioceno y activo hasta hoy, ha creado un sistema de fosas y horsts en parte ocultos por una cobertera en la que se desarrollan pliegues de consolidación y gravitacionales que hasta la fecha habían sido interpretados como pruebas de una compresión en sentido Norte-Sur.
El abastecimiento de carne en la ciudad de Alicante: crisis actual del matadero público
Authors: Segrelles Serrano José Antonio
Published: June 2015

En las últimas décadas se ha asistido a profundas mutaciones económicas y sociales que van desde el aumento demográfico hasta el incremento de los niveles de renta. Esto supone violentas sacudidas en el mercado de la carne y en las tradicionales estructuras productivas públicas, que ante el empuje de los mataderos industriales entran en una aguda crisis y se ven cada vez más relegadas a un segundo plano. El matadero municipal de Alicante no es una excepción. Las transformaciones que ha experimentado el consumo de la población, el cambio en los hábitos de los minoristas, el reducido volumen de sacrificios, la existencia de una oferta poco maleable, la ausencia de una gestión dinámica y profesionalizada, la falta de rentabilidad, e incluso la presencia de una mano de obra infrautilizada, sitúan al matadero público frente a un rotundo y concluyente dilema: o la modernización o el cierre. El Ayuntamiento ha optado por el camino renovador, realizando importantes reformas e inversiones para adecuarse a su nueva vocación comarcal y a las exigencias técnico-sanitarias del Plan General Indicativo de Mataderos. Para ello no basta con el esfuerzo económico y técnico, sino que debe existir un decidido compromiso por modificar la actual gestión pública del matadero municipal.
El transporte colectivo en la ciudad de Alicante y su entorno: evolución y propuesta de futuro
Authors: Vera Ferre Jesús Rafael de
Published: June 2015

Los sistemas de transporte colectivo en la ciudad de Alicante y su entorno han tenido dos etapas históricas en su evolución. La primera, arrancando a finales del siglo XIX, se desarrolla principalmente en los dos primeros tercios del Novecientos, teniendo como protagonista principal a la red tranviaria, la cual, no solamente va a servir a la demanda existente, sino también va a dirigir el crecimiento y expansión de la ciudad en la periferia. La segunda, más reciente, se produce en paralelo a la eclosión del automóvil privado, y se basa en el autobús, que sufre, en la actualidad, graves problemas de inadaptabilidad. También se realiza en el artículo una propuesta de cambio radical de los sistemas de transporte colectivo en el área metropolitana alicantina.
El cultivo de la uva de mesa en el Medio Vinalopó: recursos hídricos y riegos localizados de alta frecuencia
Authors: Ramón Morte Alfredo , Rico Amorós Antonio Manuel , Olcina Cantos Jorge
Published: June 2015

Aridez y escasez de recursos hídricos han propiciado la existencia en el Vinalopó Medio de una extensa superficie regada, sometida a la explotación de acuíferos subterráneos. La ampliación descontrolada del cultivo de la uva de mesa unida a un irracional uso del agua, comprometen la propia viabilidad económica del sector agrario en la zona. La utilización de sistemas de riego localizado de alta frecuencia y la ampliación de la capacidad de embalse, forman parte de un proceso de renovación y una posible solución al problema.
La instrucción y la enseñanza en la provincia de Alicante durante el siglo XX
Authors: Bartolomé Pina Pascual Antonio
Published: June 2015

Este artículo analiza la evolución que han experimentado la enseñanza y la instrucción de los habitantes de la provincia de Alicante en el último siglo. De este análisis se desprenden, entre otras, las siguientes conclusiones: por un lado, que existe una estrecha relación entre la estructura educativa de un país y su estructura socioeconómica, y por otro, que la enseñanza y la instrucción de los habitantes de un determinado territorio suele atravesar tres etapas en su desarrollo, que en nuestro caso son la preinstructiva (hasta 1940), la de la instrucción elemental (hasta 1970) y etapa de las reformas educativas, en que nos encontramos actualmente.

La presa de Román, enclavada en la rambla de la Raja (Jumilla, Murcia), es un azud de derivación de aguas de avenida para el riego, cuya construcción remonta sus orígenes a época romana. El aprovechamiento de aguas eventuales y de las procedentes de la escorrentía hipodérmica, se efectúa mediante una sólida obra de fábrica que, hoy en desuso, es buena prueba del equilibrio entre hombre y medio físico existente hasta hace tres décadas.
Valoración científica del litoral alicantino
Authors: Rosselló i Verger Vicenç María
Published: June 2015

El artículo se refiere al ámbito del antiguo «terme general d’Alacant», desde el Campello hasta el Carabassí, donde los accidentes costeros responden a la tectónica pliopleistocénica. La escasez del aporte sedimentario da mayor beligerancia al factor oleaje que depende de un predominio de los vientos SE y E. En los sectores bajos las playas han visto eliminar las dunas y las albuferas han sido transformadas. De los sectores medios o altos destaca el karst marino y los yacimientos cuaternarios, estudiados y revisitados desde 1906 y, sobre todo, desde 1955 y 1957 (Congreso INQUA); su principal rasgo es el nivel fundamental eutirreniense de fauna cálida (Strombus). La artificialización del litoral ha supuesto la construcción del puerto de Alicante, uno de los más antiguos del País Valenciano, la implantación de caminos litorales y la instalación de diques y espigones de defensa. Se recuerda la oportunidad de salvaguardar las atalayas del siglo XVII.

El artículo trata sobre este tipo de desplazamientos, que mueven a miles de trabajadores cada año en aquellos sectores en los que la mano de obra autóctona es insuficiente, especialmente en la agricultura, turismo y construcción (actividades sobre las que se centra el estudio); pese a su volumen, es total la carencia de datos oficiales sobre el tema, por lo que ha sido imprescindible recurrir a fuentes no estadísticas (orales, principalmente) para conocer su magnitud y los problemas que padecen los migrantes (alojamiento, salarios, contratos, escolarización...).
Why studying stress signalling in stem cells?
Authors: Schneider Leonid
Published: June 2015

Stem cells are a unique subtype in an a developing or adult organism, which create all other cells through the process of differentiation. Stem cells are also characterized by their ability to divide in a potentially unlimited manner while fully retaining their stem cell characteristics (self-renewal). Because of these divisions, they are prone to multiple stresses and perils associated with maintaining their genome integrity at different stages of the cell cycle. Most stresses directly target the genome, by damaging the DNA or affecting faithful chromosome segregation. Some are metabolic or environmental toxins, but without direct DNA damage effect. While terminally differentiated cells are constantly replaced when damaged, every even the most minute effect onto stem cells is likely to become noticeable further downstream during tissue differentiation and homeostasis.

This collection seeks to present research into various molecular and cellular mechanisms stem cells employ when responding to such stress. A large body of past and present research focuses on the embryonic stem cells, which are already cultured and studied for many years, but by now also adult somatic stem cells became the focus of stress studies. Presented are selected open-access publications from the year 2014 on.

Published: June 2015

O presente estudo trata sobre a contribuição do componente curricular Educação Física de forma sistematizada na primeira etapa da Educação Básica, ou seja, no Ensino Infantil, levantando questionamentos e discussões pertinentes em torno da questão em tela. Tenciona mostrar subsídios da prática pedagógica da Educação Física na Educação Infantil como ferramenta eficaz na formação cidadã das crianças. Nesse sentido, em função das nossas inquietações, surgiu o seguinte problema de pesquisa: Como a Educação Física contribui no Ensino Infantil? Acreditamos que a prática pedagógica da Educação Física no ensino infantil tem um papel fundamental, propiciando vivências e experiências de atividades diversificadas no desenvolvimento da criança, permitindo ajudar de maneira destacada no processo de formação cognitiva, motora, afetiva e social desses educandos. Nesses termos, refletimos sobre a necessidade de se inserir a Educação Física na primeira etapa da Educação Básica ao invés de concebê-la apenas como momentos de práticas de caráter meramente recreativos e despretensiosos de uma educação efetivamente humana e engajada com a realidade na qual os sujeitos estão submetidos.

The emphasis of this paper, in respect to its content, does not lie in the discussion of each and every result, but concentrates on the question of how the quantitative and qualitative results can be correlated to each other, and on what types of complementary information can be deducted from it from a language teaching point of view.
Codeswitching und Crossing zum Gastarbeiterdeutsch als ethnolektale Merkmale der deutschmarokkanischen Chat-Kommunikation
Authors: Tahiri Naima
Published: June 2015

This paper is a study of code-switching and crossing into “guest worker's” German in chat communication between female bilinguals of Moroccan background, who are the descendants of so-called “Gastarbeiter” (‘guest workers’). Code-switching and crossing can both be seen as manifestations of ethnolectal speech. Linguists pay little attention to the language use of the Moroccan community in Germany, whereas the language use of migrants with Turkish background is well-researched. The results of studies concerning the language use (especially about language alternation) of bilinguals with ethnic Turkish background are compared with the results of the present study. The most important results are the following: The chat communication of the bilingual Moroccan migrants is characterized by code-switching, which is restricted to pragmatically delimitable constituents (such as in the case of religious routine formulas, which are the focus of this analysis) and by crossing into “guest worker's” German, which manifests itself when the pronunciation of specific words are imitated. Whereas bilinguals with Moroccan background apparently prefer code-switching as type of language alternation, bilinguals with Turkish background display a preference for code-mixing in addition to code-switching. This result stands in accord with the study of Dorleijn and Nortier (2008), which investigated the language alternation of Turkish and Moroccan migrant groups in the Netherlands. It is supposed that bilinguals with Moroccan background show no code-mixing, because they are, with regard to their language of origin, a heterogeneous group (Berber and Arabs) and because Moroccan Arabic has lost, in diasporic context, its function as

A Tool to Measure Maturity of an Employee Suggestion Scheme
Authors: Lasrado Flevy , Gomišček Boštjan
Published: June 2015

Employee Suggestion Schemes have been used in organizations for a long time due to the fact that they enable fostering of creative ability of employees. However, they must be used effectively and in a sustainable manner to better the creativity and innovation capacity of organizations in order to improve competitive advantage. Therefore there is a need to understand the maturity of Employee Suggestion Schemes. This paper proposes a new, structured evaluation tool for assessing an organizational Employee Suggestion Scheme maturity. It suggests five building blocks: Leadership and Work Environment, System Capability, System Effectiveness, Organizational Encouragement and System Barriers, each of them characterized by several relevant indicators and an assessment/grading scale in order for an organization to be able to determine the maturity level of their Employee Suggestion Scheme as: Initial stage, Development stage or Advanced stage. Organizations should apply this tool to assess the maturity level of their Employee Suggestion Scheme and draw a roadmap for its improvements.
The Influence of Workers’ Health Status on Employers’ Decision-Making During Personnel Restructuring in a Typical Public Limited Enterprise in Slovenia / Vpliv Zdravstvenega Stanja Delavcev Na Odločanje Delodajalca Med Procesom Kadrovskega Prestrukturiranja Značilne Delniške Družbe V Sloveniji
Authors: Margan Andrea , Dodič-Fikfak Metoda
Published: June 2015

Objectives. Alongside individual indicators of job performance, even workers’ health status could be a criterion for selection. The mechanisms for health selection are a reduction of productivity in relation to illness or certain health behaviour. The aim of the study was to establish how indicators of workers’ health status, which are accessible to the employer, influence the employer’s decision-making on which workers to retain and which to dismiss during personnel restructuring in the enterprise.

Methods. Due to a planned closure of a plant, the observed company began personnel restructuring which included a strategic decrease in the number of employees and the relocation of workers within the company. Two nested case control studies were conducted. The cases were divided into two groups and defined as follows: employees who were relocated and employees whose employment contract was terminated.

Results. The results show that the disability category and long-time sick leave exert the greatest influence on the employer’s decision on the selection of workers. Workers with work-related disability have lower odds to be relocated to a new workplace (OR=0.5; 95% CI 0.2 to 1.1) and higher odds to be dismissed (OR=6.51; 95% CI 3.33 to 12.72). The workers with a history of a long-time sick leave also have lower odds to be relocated (OR=0.31; 95% CI 0.11 to 0.88) and higher odds to be dismissed (OR=4.32; 95% CI 2.08 to 8.96).

Conclusions. Indicators of health which were accessible to the employer actually exerted influence on the employer’s decision-making, which could show a direct form of health selection.
Some Properties of The Solution of The Ramsey Model
Authors: Viaşu Ioana
Published: June 2015

The main aim of this paper is to improve some results obtained by Smith. We provide here a closed-form solution for the Ramsey model. We prove that if the inverse of the constant elasticity of intertemporal substitution is different to the elasticity of output with respect to physical capital, then the economy described by this model reaches the unique steady-state equilibrium, for any starting values of per-capita consumption. The advantage of the paper over the existing paper is that the arguments here are not local, that is, our hypotheses are most generally possible. Consequently, we can obtain almost all other results as particular cases of our solution. Our approach clarifies why different starting values of per-capita consumption generates the same steady-state equilibrium, but of different periods of time. We also clarifiy some of previous result obtained by other authors as for example Luca Guerrini.
Banking Integration and Efficiency Convergence in Baltic Countries in Post-Crisis Period
Authors: Popovici Mihăiţă-Cosmin
Published: June 2015

We investigate banking efficiency in Baltic countries over the period 2007 - 2011 during one of the biggest financial crisis. The global economic crisis began in December 2007 with the loss of investor confidence in the U.S. securitized mortgages that led to a liquidity crisis that prompted a substantial injection of capital into financial markets by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the Bank of England and European Central Bank. Baltic countries joined the EU in 2004, during the largest wave of accession. Estonia is a member of the eurozone since 2011, Latvia since 2014 and Lithuania adopted euro in 2015. We use Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) - a nonparametric method in operations research and economics for the estimation of production frontiers. It is used to empirically measure productive efficiency of decision-making units (or DMUs) for a sample of banks in a highly concentrated banking system. The aim of the paper is to show the evolution of the banking efficiency in the Baltic countries over the period 2007 - 2011 by using Malmquist index. Our goal is to highlight the evolution of efficiency and we want to answer the research question “How banking efficiency evolved after the financial crisis?” Results show a slight improvement in banking efficiency over the period 2010 - 2011 due to improved management of the inputs, but further research is needed to gain a clearer picture of the phenomenon.

Vergleichende Untersuchungen über das Verhalten von Niob, Tantal und Protactinium gegenüber Ionenaustauschern
Authors: Keller Cornelius
Published: June 2015

Das Ionenaustauschverhalten von Niob, Tantal und Protactinium wurde in verschiedenen Säuren als Funktion der Säurekonzentration, der Temperatur und des Vernetzungsgrades des Austauschers untersucht. Aus den Ergebnissen ist zu schließen, daß das Verhalten des Pa(V) in wäßriger Lösung übersichtlicher ist als das Verhalten von Nb(V) und Ta(V). Protactinium neigt in wäßriger Lösung weniger zur Hydrolyse als Niob und Tantal. Ein Kationenaustauscher adsorbiert die negativ geladenen Ionenspecies von Nb(V), Ta(V) und Pa(V) nur mit etwas geringeren Verteilungskoeffizienten als Anionenaustauscher. Für verschiedene Austauschvorgänge des Pa(V) werden die zugehörigen Enthalpie-, Entropie- und freien Energie-Werte berechnet.

Authors: Martínez C. César , Cayón S. Gerardo , Ligarreto M. Gustavo
Published: June 2015

The Colombian Musaceae Collection (CMC) contains 140 banana and plantain cultivars. For this study, twelve cultivars were selected when they were in the initial flowering stage and the physiological attributes of the plants and some components of the bunches were studied. Similar cultivar groups were determined in terms of the evaluated attributes with the use of a multivariate statistical analysis for principal components and grouping analysis. With 89.35% explanation of the total variance by the first five components, the variables fresh weight of the bunches, fresh weight of the fruit, number of fruits, specific leaf area, total dry weight of the plant, dry weight of the corms, and percentage of dry weight of the bunches represented the majority of the differentiation of the cultivars. This study allowed for the evaluation and comparison of the principal promising banana and plantain cultivars for use as basic tools in selection programs of the Musaceae germplasm in terms of agronomic and productive behaviors.

Published: June 2015

Resíduos de fíletagem de piramutaba (Brachyplatystoma vaillantii), foram submetidos a dois diferentes processamentos, o cozimento após moagem, e a ensilagem biológica. Os materiais resultantes destes processamentos foram testados através do desempenho e da composição corporal de alevinos de tambaqui (Colossoma macropomum). Foram elaboradas quatro rações com teores de proteína de 24,7 a 27,0% e energia bruta entre 438,9 e 445,4 Kcal/l00g de ração. O experimento foi conduzido em 20 tanques de cimento-amianto com capacidade para 250 litros, cada um estocado com 12 alevinos, com comprimento padrão médio de 10,3 cm e peso médio de 27,4 g. Os alevinos foram alimentados duas vezes ao dia à razão de 3% da biomassa e pesados a cada 28 dias. Análises bromatológicas no início e no final do experimento determinaram a composição corporal dos peixes. As análises de variância dos dados obtidos não evidenciaram influência significativa (P>0,05) dos tratamentos sobre os parâmetros estudados.

Published: June 2015

OBJECTIVE: to analyze the spatial distribution of tuberculosis in Crato, Ceará, Brazil, from 2002 to 2011, aiming to check for a point pattern. METHODS: This is an ecological, temporal trend and hybrid design study, with a quantitative approach. A total of 261 cases of tuberculosis were geo-referenced and 20 (7.1%) were considered as losses due to the lack of address. The profile of patients in 10 years of study was in accordance with the following pattern: men aged between 20 and 59 years, with low schooling, affected by the pulmonary form of tuberculosis and who were cured from the disease. RESULTS: The analysis of the spatial distribution of tuberculosis points out that in the period of study, new cases of the disease were not distributed on a regular basis, indicating a clustered spatial pattern, confirmed by the L-function. The map with the density of new cases estimated by the Kernel method showed that the "hot" areas are more concentrated in the vicinity of the central urban area. CONCLUSION: The study allowed pointing out areas of higher and lower concentration of tuberculosis, identifying the spatial pattern, but it also recognized that the disease has not reached all of the population groups with the same intensity. Those who were most vulnerable were the ones who lived in regions with higher population densities, precarious living conditions, and with intense flow of people.
Trois ans plus tard : comment les étudiants évaluent-ils le Régime d’immersion en français de l’Université d’Ottawa?
Authors: Weinberg Alysse , Burger Sandra , Boukacem Dalila
Published: June 2015

L’article présente une étude menée en 2009 pour évaluer le niveau de satisfaction d’étudiants inscrits dans un programme d’immersion offert dans une université bilingue au Canada par rapport à leurs cours de langue. Ce programme inspiré du modèle des cours associés propose des cours d’encadrement linguistique à deux niveaux : le 1er niveau est axé sur les habiletés réceptives alors que le 2e vise les habiletés productives. Les résultats obtenus suite à un questionnaire de 60 questions de type Likert révèlent les perceptions des étudiants des deux niveaux par rapport à l’efficacité des activités linguistiques pour l’amélioration de leurs compétences linguistiques et leur apprentissage de la discipline. Ces données sont ensuite comparées à celles de 2006 pour faire ressortir l’évolution des perceptions. Malgré une meilleure perception générale des activités, des différences significatives restent présentes entre les deux niveaux et par rapport à certaines activités. L’article conclut sur des suggestions afin d’améliorer la production écrite des étudiants.
Marque employeur interne et externe

Published: June 2015

Les chercheurs et les praticiens s’intéressent de plus en plus largement au concept de marque employeur, défini comme l’ensemble des avantages fonctionnels, économiques et psychologiques inhérents à l’emploi, grâce auxquels une entreprise est identifiée en tant qu’employeur (Ambler et Barrow, 1996). Les recherches sont à ce jour néanmoins fragmentées. L’objectif est donc de formuler un ensemble de propositions sur les relations entre la marque employeur interne (à l’égard des salariés) et externe (à l’égard des candidats), ses antécédents, ses conséquences et ses potentiels modérateurs. La présentation de ces relations permettra de proposer un agenda de recherche utile aux chercheurs comme aux praticiens.

Published: June 2015

To clarify the characteristic of follicular fluid in mares with granulose theca cell tumor (GTCT) 5 mares from five GTCT affected mares were obtained at the time of removal of affected ovary from different parts in Japan. The 9 ovaries from the 6 normal mares were obtained from the abattoir. The diameter of each follicle in the ovaries was measured and the follicles were classified according to the diameter. The concentration of estradiol -17 ß (E2), ir- INH, pro?-C and INH-A were significantly lower as compared with that of normal ovarian follicular fluid. But the average concentration of INH-B in affected animal was not significantly lower as compared with that of healthy ovarian follicular fluids. According to this study it seems that the large follicles in GTCT affected ovaries were not mature like a healthy follicle. As a result estradiol -17ß (E2), ir- INH, pro?-C and INH-A were significantly lower as compared with that of normal mares.

Authors: Hanif MA , Mostofa M , Choudhury ME , Awal MA , Rahman MM , Sultana MR
Published: June 2015

The research has been carried out from February to March 2005 on 20 sheep (infested and non infested with ectoparasites) of both sexes aged upto 3 to 4 years at the animal house of Veterinary Clinic, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh to study the efficacy of ivermectin pour on (Ivermec® Pour on, Ethical Drugs Ltd., Dhaka, Bangladesh) against ectoparasites and its effect on certain haematological (Hb, TEC and PCV) parameters and body weight gain. Fifteen sheep heavily infested with different ectoparasites were randomly divided into 3 equal groups (groups B, C and D) consisting of 5 sheep in each. Another 5 sheep free from any ectoparasitic infestation were kept as uninfested control group (group A). Topical ivermectin preparation was administered at the dose rate of 400 ?g/kg body weight (pour on) and 500 ?g/kg body weight (pour on) in groups C and D respectively whereas sheep of group B was kept as infested control. The therapeutic efficacy of ivermectin was 100% against ectoparasites (lice and tick) after 7 days of treatment. The mean body weight of the sheep of treated groups (C and D) were increased after treatment with ivermectin, on day 28 post treatment. Similarly, total erythrocyte count (TEC) and hemoglobin (Hb) content was increased significantly. However, PCV was also influenced appreciably. From this experiment, it may be suggested that ivermectin is a very much suitable broad spectrum anthelmintic for sheep and its pour on formulation may be used effectively and conveniently to treat ectoparasitic infestations.

Tvingande styrningsideal i en marknadsutsatt utbildning för vuxna?
Authors: Wärvik Gun-Britt
Published: June 2015

Denna artikel studerar frågan om hur omstruktureringen av svensk vuxenutbildning och arbetsmarknadsutbildning konkretiseras i yrkeslärares arbete. Omstruktureringen inbegriper bl a en marknadisering med upphandlingsförfaranden där en växande skara av anordnare tävlar om anbud med korta kontraktstider. Mer specifikt riktas här uppmärksamhet mot lärares användande av ett redskap för kvalitetssäkring, utformat av ledningen för en av de större utbildningsanordnarna i avsikt att dels uppnå extern legitimitet i upphandlingssammanhang och dels ge den egna verksamheten en viss riktning genom standardisering. En slutsats är att lärarna i mötet med pressen från deltagarna gör redskapet “tänjbart”, men att de också samtidigt, genom kvalitetsredskapet, medverkar till en omstrukturering av vuxenutbildningen.
Learning to stay in school: Selection, retention and identity processes in a Danish vocational educational training programme of basic health and care
Authors: Bøje Jakob Ditlev , Beck Steen , Winum Helle

In Denmark, as in other countries, education is seen as the most important way to make the country competitive in a global world and to solve problems relating to the welfare state. Many efforts are made to retain students in the educational system, but at the same time the system remains selective. In this paper, we present analyses that shed light on how a double agenda of selection and retention is played out within a school of studies in basic health and care and on how different groups of students respond to that. We find that the double agenda is handled in a manner where one agenda is reserved for one group of students and another for a different group of student. Our theoretical point of departure is the British tradition of Cultural Studies and particularly Paul Willis’ study on working class boys’ resistance towards school.

Relation to practice in vocational science education through consequential transitions: Relation to practice is often used as a teaching principle in vocational science education. The principle is based on the assumption that it improves students’ possibilities to do a more effective transfer of knowledge between a school context and a context of professional practice. In the paper we deploy a sociocultural perspective to present a nuanced concept of practice that leads us to conceive transfer in terms of consequential transitions among practices. Relation to practice as a pedagogical principle should build on the clarity of which practices students are invited to participate in, and how teaching facilitates different consequential transitions among them.
Les risques volcaniques directs ou différés : exemples du Pinatubo (Philippines, 1991) et de Rabaul (Papouasie - Nouvelle-Guinée, 1994) (Direct or indirect volcanic hazards : case-studies of Pinatubo (Philippines, 1991) and Rabaul (Papua - New Guinea, 1994)
Authors: Bardintzeff Jacques Marie
Published: June 2015

Abstract. - Two recent volcanic eruptions (Pinatubo, Philippines, 1991 and Rabaul, Papua - New-Guinea, 1994) have examplified direct and indirect volcanic hazards. These could occur immediately, during the eruption (ash fall...) or after a more or less long time span (lahars), sometimes in a distant area (tidal wave). Moreover, human occupation increases the volcanic risk as well as meteoric / climatic factors (heavy rain, wind direction). All of these risks must be taken into account by scientific teams and public responsibles.
Quarante ans de l'évolution de l'Aral : un grand lac disparaît - bilan provisoire en 1999 (Forty years of the Aral evolution : a great lake vanishes)
Authors: Létolle René , Mainguet Monique
Published: June 2015

Summary. - The surface of the Aral lake before the 1960's, its low salinity were determined since several centuries by a stationnary state, due to balanced water inputs and outputs. The authors have analysed in the last two years by field work the shores of the lake destroyed by 40 years of soviet politic of development, by industrial agriculture in Central Asia. The objective was to transform the delta of Amu and Syr Daria in irrigated areas, using the 70 km3/year of fluvial waters stored in huge reservoirs so as to compensate the droughts. Since, only some km3 of drainage water reach the lake with a regular increase of the salinity. The paper analyses the evolution of the general data since 1960 in Maloye More and Bolchoi More, in the Pri-Aral plains and deltas. The consequences of the ecological disaster are analysed in a prospective framework : nowadays, in a transition phase, the Aral lake will became around 2050 a set of lagoons of sebkha type.
Review of a Single Contemporary Femoral Neck Fracture Fixation Method in Young Patients
Authors: Henari Shwan , Leonard Michael , Hamadto Mohammed , Cogley David
Published: June 2015

An intracapsular femoral neck fracture in a young patient is a rare and difficult injury to manage. The occurrence of complications following fixation is multifactorial. Initial displacement and timing and accuracy of reduction are the key factors affecting outcome. The severities of the trauma to the hip and the impact of the intracapsular hematoma also play a role, the importance of which remains poorly understood.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the high incidence of femoral neck fractures treated in our institution over a 7-month period, to record the long-term outcome of these patients, all of whom were treated with contemporary methods of internal fixation, and to highlight the reasons for this injury being termed an “orthopedic emergency” and its differences from the same injury in the elderly population.

We performed a retrospective analysis of 12 cases of intracapsular femur neck fracture in patients younger than 50 years treated over 7 months in a regional trauma center. All patients underwent satisfactory reduction and fixation. Nine of the 12 patients had a good outcome at a mean follow-up of 29 months. One patient developed a nonunion of the femoral head requiring total hip arthroplasty, one developed avascular necrosis of the femoral head, and one developed partial avascular necrosis. This compares favorably with other studies.

Malaria is an important health burden in Zambia with proper diagnosis remaining as one of the biggest challenges. The need for reliable diagnostics is being addressed through the introduction of rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs). However, without sufficient laboratory amenities in many parts of the country, diagnosis often still relies on non-specific, clinical symptoms. In this study, geographical information systems were used to both visualize and analyze the spatial distribution and the risk factors related to the diagnosis of malaria. The monthly reported, district-level number of malaria cases from January 2009 to December 2014 were collected from the National Malaria Control Center (NMCC). Spatial statistics were used to reveal cluster tendencies that were subsequently linked to possible risk factors, using a non-spatial regression model. Significant, spatio-temporal clusters of malaria were spotted while the introduction of RDTs made the number of clinically diagnosed malaria cases decrease by 33% from 2009 to 2014. The limited access to road network(s) was found to be associated with higher levels of malaria, which can be traced by the expansion of health promotion interventions by the NMCC, indicating enhanced diagnostic capability. The capacity of health facilities has been strengthened with the increased availability of proper diagnostic tools and through retraining of community health workers. To further enhance spatial decision support systems, a multifaceted approach is required to ensure mobilization and availability of human, infrastructural and technological resources. Surveillance based on standardized geospatial or other analytical methods should be used by program managers to design, target, monitor and assess the spatio-temporal dynamics of malaria diagnostic resources country-wide.

Modélisation thermodynamique de la dégradation de déchet : prévision du devenir à long terme
Authors: Azaroual M. , Piantone P. , Barbier J. , Vieillard Ph
Published: June 2015

Le stockage ou la banalisation de déchets contenant (cendres stabilisées, produits vitrifiés) pose le problème de la stabilité dans le temps des structures minérales assurant la stabilisation ou le piégeage des éléments toxiques. Ainsi, à ce jour, en France comme dans tous les pays européens, une réflexion ayant pour thème le devenir à long terme des résidus de l'incinération est en cours. Elle devrait aboutir à l'élaboration d'une batterie de tests (lixiviation, neutralisation acidobasique, sohxlet ...) susceptibles de fournir les paramètres nécessaires à la prédiction de l'évolution chimique de produits soumis à des conditions physicochimiques données. Malheureusement ce type de démarche, ne s'appuyant que sur la mesure de phénomènes immédiats, ne pourra apporter qu'une interprétation imparfaite quant au devenir à long terme. A travers la modélisation thermodynamique de la dégradation des déchets il est possible de proposer une démarche complémentaire à l'approche purement analytique. Les travaux présentés ici font état d'une démarche menée autour d'un vitrifiat de Refiom.
Modéliser pour comprendre, modéliser pour prévoir : apports de la modélisation pour l'évaluation environnementale des filières de gestion de déchets
Authors: Peyronnard Olivier , Blanc Denise , MOSZKOWICZ Pierre
Published: June 2015

La modélisation est un outil indispensable pour l’évaluation environnementale des filières de gestion de déchets, notamment lorsqu’il s’agit de les recycler ou de les réutiliser en tant que matières premières. L’objectif de prédiction des flux de polluants et des impacts environnementaux butte sur la difficulté, voire l’impossibilité, de valider les modèles élaborés. Pour dépasser cette question de la fiabilité de la simulation prédictive, une nouvelle approche de l’évaluation environnementale est proposée. Il s’agit de déterminer, à partir d’une connaissance fine du comportement des matériaux, les conditions pour lesquelles les polluants sont mobilisés. La modélisation peut alors être utilisée à deux niveaux : « modéliser pour comprendre » et « modéliser pour prévoir ». « Modéliser pour comprendre » consiste à utiliser la modélisation et la simulation numérique pour valider les hypothèses formulées à partir des observations expérimentales et ainsi identifier et comprendre les mécanismes contrôlant la rétention/mobilisation des polluants. « Modéliser pour prévoir » consiste alors à explorer par simulation numérique le comportement du déchet confronte a une multitude de conditions d’exposition afin de déterminer celles n’induisant qu’un risque limité de mobilisation des polluants. Les scénarios de gestion éco-compatibles peuvent alors être proposés.
