Published: September 2016

Abstract:Among the wide range of personal and contextual variables that may be associated with difficulties in students’ access to higher education (HE), academic expectations will be the focus of this study. Academic expectations represent what students hope to accomplish and achieve in their academic life. The sample was formed by 372 first-year Higher Education students, of both sexes, and with ages ranging from 17 to 57 years old. These students completed the Academic Perceptions Questionnaire (QPA), which assesses seven dimensions of academic expectations. Data analysis considers students´ gender, scientific domain of studies (social sciences and humanities, science and technology) and the levels of parental education (parents concluded or not HE studies). Results suggest more differentiation of academic expectations in function of students´ gender and parents´ educational level. This communication presents and discusses these results, and possible justifications and implications.Keywords: Higher Education, Academic Expectations, Gender, Adaptation to Higher EducationResumo:De entre o amplo conjunto de variáveis pessoais e contextuais que poderão estar associadas às dificuldades sentidas pelos estudantes ao ingressarem no ensino superior (ES), as expectativas académicas serão o foco deste estudo. As expectativas académicas representam aquilo que o estudante espera concretizar no decurso da sua vida académica. Este estudo considera uma amostra de 372 estudantes do primeiro ano do Ensino Superior, de ambos os géneros e com idades entre os 17 e os 57 anos. Estes estudantes preencheram o Questionário de Perceções Académicas (QPA), avaliando sete dimensões das expectativas académicas. Os resultados foram analisados considerando o género, a área científica (ciências sociais e humanas; ciências e tecnologias) e se algum dos pais concluiu o ES. As análises sugerem maior diferenciação do nível de expectativas em função do género dos estudantes e se os pais frequentaram ou não o ES. Nesta comunicação apresentam-se e discutem-se estes resultados, adiantando potenciais justificações e implicações.Palavras-chave: Ensino Superior, Expectativas académicas, Género, Adaptação ao Ensino Superior.

Published: September 2016

Abstract:One of the proposed aim of the new higher education´s paradigm is the obtaining and development of competences which favour the entry into employment of students. This obtaining and development process is not only carried out in the educational context but there could be individual variables that can take part in this process. One of these variables is the desire of control. The aim of this study is to know the effect of individual differences in desire of control related to their competences development. There were 69 students participating in the study, aged between 18 and 26 years old. Results have shown that desire of control can play a key role in the obtaining, the coaching and the development competences of students.Keywords: Desire for Control, Competences, Behavior Achievement.Resumen:Uno de los objetivos propuestos en el nuevo paradigma de la educación superior es la adquisición y desarrollo de competencias que faciliten la inserción de los estudiantes en el mundo laboral. Este proceso de adquisición y desarrollo no sólo se lleva a cabo en el contexto educativo sino que hay ciertas variables de carácter individual que pueden intervenir en este proceso. Una de esas variables es el deseo de control. El objetivo del presente trabajo es conocer el efecto de las diferencias individuales en el deseo de control sobre el desarrollo de competencias. Han participado en el estudio 69 estudiantes universitarios con edades comprendidas entre los 18 y 26 años. Los resultados muestran que el deseo de control puede jugar un papel clave en la adquisición, entrenamiento y desarrollo de competencias en estudiantes universitarios.Palabras claves: Deseo de Control, Competencias, Comportamiento de Logro.

Abstract:ANALYSIS OF AGGRESSOR PERSONALITY IN BULLYING.At this paper, the big five factors of personality and the aggressor’s profile were analyzed. The sample was composed of 700 secondary students, 43% women, 57% men with an average age of 13,98 years old. We have used the School Coexistence Questionnaire (Defensor del Pueblo, 2006) and the Big Five Questionnaire - Childrens (Barbaranello, Caprara y Rabasca,1998). Through a discriminant analysis we obtained a function that properly classified 49.15 original grouped cases. This discriminant function is determined by the conscientiousness factor (.712), relating the increased presence of this factor in the lower level of aggression and vice versa (Lower Aggression = .575, Media Aggression = - .030 and High Aggression = - .666). Finally, it can be concluded that the conscientiousness factor is the best discriminates profile aggressor in bullying, yielding higher levels of aggression when this factor is less present in the student’s personality.Keywords: BFQ-C, bullying, conscientiousness, personality, secundary school.Resumen:En este estudio se realiza un análisis de los cinco grandes factores de la personalidad y el perfil de agresor en el contexto del acoso escolar. La muestra total estaba formada por 700 estudiantes de secundaria, 43% mujeres y 57% varones con una media de edad de 13,98 años. Para su análisis se utilizó el Cuestionario de Convivencia Escolar (Defensor del Pueblo, 2006) y el cuestionario de personalidad BFQ-NA (Barbaranelli, Caprara, y Rabasca, 1998). Mediante un análisis discriminante se estableció una función que clasificaba correctamente el 49,15 de los casos agrupados originales. Esta función discriminante vino determinada por el factor conciencia (.712), relacionándose una mayor presencia de este factor en el nivel de menor agresión y viceversa (Baja Agresión =.575, Media Agresión= -.030 y para el grupo Alta Agresión = -.666). Finalmente, se puede concluir que el factor conciencia es aquel que discrimina mejor el perfil del agresor en el acoso escolar, obteniéndose mayores niveles de agresión cuando está este factor menos presente en la personalidad del alumno.Palabras claves: BFQ-NA, acoso escolar, conciencia, personalidad, educación secundaria

Published: September 2016

Resumen:El bullying ha sido identificado como uno de los principales problemas que afecta a la calidad de las relaciones interpersonales que establecen los escolares. Las aportaciones científicas sobre este fenómeno se centran de forma destacada en el estudio de los factores de riesgo asociados a rasgos de la personalidad y a variables de contexto entre los iguale, principalmente en la etapa de secundaria. Sin embargo, poco se sabe de la influencia explicativa en el bullying de cada uno de estos grandes bloques. El trabajo que aquí se presenta pretende conocer si junto con ciertas variables de personalidad (sexo, edad y autoestima) existen variables del contexto escolar (ajuste normativo, indisciplina y disruptividad, ajuste entre iguales), que puedan estar explicando la implicación en bullying ya sea como agresor, víctima o agresor victimizado. El “Cuestionario para la Investigación de la Violencia Escolar en Andalucía: CIVEA” fue administrado a 1278 escolares españoles (47.7% chicas), de la región sur- Andalucía, de Educación Primaria en edades comprendidas entre los 10 a 14 años (M = 11.11; DT=0.754). Los análisis de regresión logística multinomial señalan que las variables de contexto entre iguales son las más influyentes en el bullying, concretamente el ajuste social con los iguales, la disciplina e indisciplina escolar y la autoestima positiva y negativa se destacan en casi todos los roles de implicación. Se discuten los resultados en base a las aportaciones científicas que explican la influencia de la autoestima y, principalmente de la indisciplina y disruptividad y del ajuste social, cuya mejora dentro de los centros escolares puede ser un factor de prevención.
RELAÇÃO ENTRE A INTELIGÊNCIA EMOCIONAL E O RENDIMENTO ESCOLAR EM CRIANÇAS DO 1.º CICLO DO ENSINO BÁSICO DA RAM
Authors: Porto Silva Elisabete , Franco Glória
Published: September 2016

Abstract:The growing interest in emotional intelligence has motivated, since the ‘ 90, the development of numerous studies on the topic. One of the approaches of these studies has been the relationship between emotional intelligence and academic achievement, without much agreement on the results (Angelo, 2007; Newsome et al., 2000; O’Connor & Little, 2003; Parker et al.,2004; Parker et al., 2006; Silva & Duarte, 2012) and was developed further this research. The survey was developed with a set de129 individuals of both sexes of RAM (Autonomy Region of Madeira) in order to respond to the questions: is there any relationship between IE, the IE perceived and school performance? Does gender, age, social participation, socio-economic status of parents and school retention influence the IE and the school performance? The instruments used were: A demographic and educational survey where they gathered, in addition to the socio-demographic data, academic performance data as: retention, the notes of the Portuguese language, Mathematics, the Study of the Middle note of calibration tests: Portuguese language and Mathematics; and the Emotional Intelligence survey of Bar-On (Candeias & Rebocho, 2007, Candeias et al., 2008). The results reveal that only some aspects of IE relate to some of the variables of school performance, in particular the classifications to Portuguese and Mathematics.Key-words: Emotional intelligence, school performance.Resumo:O crescente interesse pela Inteligência Emocional tem motivado, desde os anos 90, o desenvolvimento de numerosos estudos sobre o tema. Um dos enfoques desses estudos tem sido a relação entre a Inteligência Emocional e o rendimento escolar, não existindo muita concordância nos resultados (Ângelo, 2007; Newsome et al., 2000; O’Connor & Little, 2003; Parker et al.,2004; Parker et al.,2006; Silva & Duarte, 2012), pelo que se desenvolveu mais esta pesquisa. A pesquisa foi desenvolvida com um conjunto de 129 indivíduos de ambos os sexos da RAM (Região Autónoma da  Madeira), no sentido de dar resposta às questões: Será que existe alguma relação entre a IE, a IE percebida e o rendimento escolar? Será que o género, a idade, o índice de participação social, o estatuto socioeconómico dos pais e a retenção escolar influenciam a IE e o rendimento escolar? Os instrumentos usados foram: um questionário Sociodemográfico e Educativo onde se recolheram, para além dos dados sociodemográficos, os dados do rendimento académico como: a retenção, as notas da Língua Portuguesa, da Matemática, do Estudo do Meio, nota das provas de aferição a: Língua Portuguesa e Matemática; e o questionário de Inteligência Emocional de Bar-On (Candeias & Rebocho,2007, Candeias et al., 2008). Os resultados revelam que apenas alguns aspetos da IE se relacionam com algumas das variáveis do rendimento escolar, nomeadamente as classificações a Português e a Matemática.Palavras-chave: Inteligência emocional, rendimento escolar.
AUTOESTIMA Y DIVERSIDAD FUNCIONAL SELF ESTEEM AND FUNCTIONAL DIVERSITY

Published: September 2016

Abstract:The aim of this paper is to analyse self esteem among people with functional diversity and how it makes a situation of concealment and invisibility conditional on the functional diversity model. To this end life stories of women with physical and sensory functional diversity aged between 16 and 65 years have been selected. The research methodology is of mixed nature. The data analysis was processed by AQUAD 6 (Huber, 2006), arising code series and semantic categories. So through this instructment different narratives of women with functional diversity have been collected. The programme firstly distinguishes between descriptive and demographic and secondly between referential and interpretative codes. Personal evaluations on self-esteem by women with functional diversity are analysed, as well as how they project it onto different aspects of their lives, both personal and social. Results confirm that, in many cases, their personal configuration of self esteem distorts the process of accepting functional diversity.Keywords: functional diversity, self esteem, personal development.Resumen:La presente comunicación pretende analizar la autoestima en las personas con diversidad funcional y como esto condiciona una situación de ocultamiento e invisibilidad a partir de la propuesta del modelo de diversidad funcional. Para ello se ha seleccionado historias de vida de mujeres con diversidad funcional física y sensorial, en un intervalo de edad entre 16 y 65 años. La metodología en la investigación tiene un carácter mixto. El análisis de datos obtenido ha sido procesado por el programa AQUAD 6 (Huber, 2006), surgiendo una serie de códigos y categorías semánticos. Así, a través de este instrumento sean podido recoger las diferentes narrativas de las mujeres con diversidad funcional. El programa nos diferencia en un primer lugar, entre códigos descriptivos y demográficos y en segundo lugar, entre códigos referenciales y de interpretación. Se analizan las valoraciones personales que tienen las mujeres con diversidad funcional en relación a su autoestima y como esto lo proyectan en los diferentes ámbitos de sus vidas tanto personal como social. Los resultados confirman que la configuración personal que realizan de su autoestima distorsiona en muchos casos el proceso de aceptación de la diversidad funcional.Palabras clave: diversidad funcional, autoestima, desarrollo personal.

The participant were 840 Secondary schools students, aged 12 to 16. A cluster analysis was performed in order to obtain the parenting styles of both mothers and fathers. The results shown that children report lower levels of internalizing and externalizing problems when assigning a democratic style to both parents. Children who have a father or a mother with a democratic style have lower psychosocial adjustment problems than family situations where the democratic style is not present. Finally, children whose parents agree on an affective-authoritarian style have fewer externalizing problems.Keywords: parenting styles, consistency, inconsistency, psychosocial adjustment problems, adolescentResumen:Este estudio analiza las diversas combinaciones de consistencia y de inconsistencia en los estilos educativos de ambos progenitores y su relación con los problemas de ajuste psicosocial que informan sus hijos. Los participantes fueron 840 estudiantes de E.S.O. con edades entre los 12 y 16 años. Para la obtención de los estilos educativos parentales se utilizó el análisis de clúster. Los resultados muestran que los hijos informan de menor incidencia de problemas externalizantes e internalizantes cuando se atribuye un estilo democrático a ambos padres. Los hijos que tienen un solo progenitor democrático presentan menores problemas de ajuste psicosocial frente a situaciones familiares donde no está implicado el estilo democrático. Finalmente los hijos que tienen padres que coinciden en un estilo afectivo-autoritario presentan menos problemas externalizantes.Palabras clave: estilos educativos paternos, consistencia, inconsistencia, problemas de ajuste psicosocial, adolescentes.
EL MODELO DE CUSTODIA PREFERIDO POR DIFERENTES GENERACIONES
Authors: Triana Pérez Beatriz , Martínez Crespo Esther
Published: September 2016

Abstract:PREFERRED CUSTODY MODEL ACCORDING DIFFERENT GENERATIONSMany Spanish families face family break-ups every year. When a couple who are divorcing have children, it is necessary to decide on custodial arrangements. Usually, custody is awarded to mothers, but joint custody is beginning to be used among Spanish society. The change towards this kind of custody is rather slow. Thus, the main objective of this study has been to analyze, in an exploratory way, which type of custody the participants from three different generations consider most appropriate. Moreover, participants’ believes about the similarities and differences between mothers’ and fathers’ capabilities for raising their children were explored. A sample of 144 subjects (adolescents, young people and adults), from both sexes, participated in the study, answering a semi-structured interview. Results show an increasing acceptance of co-parenting, but it is dependent on certain circumstances such as the capacity and desire for involvement that each parent shows towards their children. These data lead to an important reflection on the need for higher social changes in the distribution of parental roles.Key-words: sole custody, joint custody, different generations, parental roles.Resumen:Numerosas familias españolas se enfrentan cada año a la ruptura familiar. Cuando la pareja que se separa tiene hijos, es necesario decidir el tipo de custodia. Normalmente, la custodia suele recaer en las madres, pero la custodia compartida empieza a ser una realidad en la sociedad española. El cambio hacia este tipo de custodia es lento. Por ello, el objetivo de este estudio ha sido analizar, de forma exploratoria, qué tipo de custodia consideran más adecuada los participantes de tres generaciones. Además, se exploraron las creencias de los participantes acerca de las similitudes y diferencias entre las capacidades de padres y madres para cuidar y educar a los hijos. En el estudio participó una muestra de 144 sujetos (adolescentes, jóvenes y adultos), de ambos sexos, a quienes se les realizó una entrevista semiestructurada. Los resultados muestran un incremento en la aceptación de la custodia compartida, pero condicionada a determinadas circunstancias, entre las que destaca la capacidad y deseos de implicación que muestre cada progenitor con sus hijos. Estos datos conllevan una importante reflexión sobre la necesidad de mayores cambios sociales en el reparto de roles parentales.Palabras clave: custodia exclusiva, custodia compartida, diferentes generaciones, roles parentales

Abstract:INDICATORS OF THE QUALITY OF THE FOSTER CAREOne of the difficulties in choosing the families who come to foster care is related to the lack of studies that indicate the features needed to support optimal integrated development of children in foster care and also help in the process both the family as the child to generate the necessary resources. The sample consisted of 53 families with 80 children in foster care for three years. The aim was to identify characteristics that allow promote the development of the child. The results underline the importance of establishing secure links between the child and the foster family, the integration of the child in the foster family (the emergence of a sense of belonging), the existence of children in the foster family and a sense of satisfaction with welcoming, by the foster family.Keywords: Foster family, bonding, integration, development.Resumen:Una de las dificultades en la selección de las familias que se acercan al acogimiento familiar está relacionado con la falta de estudios que pudieran apuntar hacia características necesarias que apoyaran un desarrollo integral y comunitario óptimo del menor acogido y a su vez, en el proceso acogedor ayudar tanto a la familia como al menor para generar y/u optimizar aquellos recursos que permitan la consecución de las mismas. En una muestra de 53 familias que a lo largo tres años acogieron a 80 menores nuestro objetivo fue identificar las características que más habían favorecido el desarrollo del menor. Los resultados subrayan la importancia del establecimiento de vínculos seguros del menor con los acogedores, la integración del menor en la familia acogedora (la aparición de un sentido de pertenencia), la existencia de hijos en el núcleo de convivencia y una percepción de satisfacción con el acogimiento, por parte de la familia acogedora.Palabras clave: acogimiento familiar, vínculos afectivos, integración, desarrollo.

Abstract:This article titled “Children with deficit of attention and hyperactivity in school context”, aims to inform and describe this behavioral disorder that affects children worldwide about 5.3%. Furthermore, approximately 40 to 50% of these children have poor school performance, difficulties in family and peer relationships (Rodrigues, 2007). The difficulties are primarily related to inattention, impulsivity and hyperactivity. Also they disturb the working classroom group, have lot of difficulties in persisting the task and to understand the teacher’s instructions (Ribeiro, 2008). According to the same author, they show poor study skills, particularly in relation to the organization of books and school supplies. In the opinion of Poiares (2003) this disorder is complex and consists of several factors, such as social, psychological, cultural, economic, political and emotional. According to Barkeley (2006), the intervention forms with these children are: parental and teachers education regarding this disorder, pharmacology, family therapy, behavior modification in the classroom, special education, regular exercise, and parents support groups.Keywords: Deficit of Attention, Hyperactivity, Impulsivity, Children, School.Resumo:O presente artigo intitulado “Crianças com défice de atenção e hiperactividade em contexto escolar” pretende informar e descrever este distúrbio comportamental que atinge cerca de 5,3% das crianças a nível mundial. Além disso, cerca de 40 a 50%, destas crianças apresentam baixo rendimento escolar, dificuldades a nível familiar e nas relações entre pares (Rodrigues, 2007).

Resumo:Este trabalho tem por principal objectivo analisar as perguntas formuladas no contexto de oficinas de construção e/ou manipulação de brinquedos com movimento, duas das quais foram realizadas em contexto escolar e uma em contexto de aprendizagem não formal. Os participantes tinham idades entre os 6 e os 12 anos e a implementação das oficinas foi feita de acordo com o modelo pedagógico desenvolvido no âmbito do projeto CLOHE2 que envolve a apresentação de uma narrativa e a projeção e construção de autómatos representativos dessa narrativa. As perguntas formuladas pelos participantes foram registadas nos diários de bordo, tendo também sido feito o registo vídeo da oficina realizada em contexto não formal de aprendizagem. As referidas perguntas foram classificadas de acordo com a tipologia de Ishiwa, Sanjosé e Otero (2013), tendo a análise dos dados evidenciado que as características das perguntas formuladas variava em função das metas estabelecidas, da etapa da construção do autómato, do nível de compreensão do funcionamento do mecanismo. Neste contexto, constatou-se que perguntas foram formuladas como estratégia de obtenção de informação, mas também como estratégia reguladora do próprio processo de aprendizagem e mesmo de formulação de hipóteses. Com efeito, em geral, foram formuladas sobretudo perguntas de tipo I, quando o objetivo proposto era o da construção do autómato, e perguntas de tipo II, quando se estabeleceu.Palavras-chave: Perguntas dos alunos; autómatos; ambientes de educação formal e não formal

GAMIFICATION AS A LEARNING TOOL
Authors: Pedro Lopes Rui
Published: September 2016

Abstract:Higher Education Institutions have the missions of education, at a high level, research and cooperation. Regarding education, HEI must create an appropriate environment for learning, towards high-level academic performance. Students must be motivated to use the learning strategies in and out of the classes, to be able to make the best result of the learning effort. People is motivated according to several factors, such as external in nature (earn more money, gain social status, have a higher grade, …) or internal (intrinsic), which results from the core self. The latter is associated to the satisfaction people feel when doing something appealing. This paper describes the approach to applying gamification to a higher education subject in the course of computer science. It uses several game design mechanisms, such as adaptive challenges, rewards, curiosity and chance to increase the time students spend working, experiencing and learning in a HEI. The sections in the curriculum are transformed into levels, awarding stars for increasingly complex achievements. There is also the concept of soft currency, which is used to increase the student autonomy and incentive the work load. Some games are also used as learning experiences, allowing collective knowledge building in the preparation and also playing the games.Keywords: Higher Education; Intrinsic motivation; Educational Games; Gamification

Hacia una ciudad en velocípedo: El papel de los niños como agentes esenciales de cambio
Authors: Villescas Vivancos Fulgencio , Pérez Campoy Marian , Carbonell Aguirre Olga , Nicolás Hernández María
Published: September 2016

Con este estudio pretendemos realizar una aproximación al papel fundamental de los niños y niñas como agentes de cambio en la ciudad de Murcia. Entendemos que estos se adaptan fácilmente a la realidad que se les presenta, y que la educación tiene un papel decisivo para generar un modelo de transporte acorde con un estilo de vida equilibrado con las nuevas corrientes de movilidad sostenible. Es así que debemos tener en cuenta el papel de los padres y madres, los usuarios de la bicicleta, activistas y agentes públicos en la educación de “nuestros pequeños” para que faciliten dicho cambio. Para ello nos basamos en el trabajo de campo realizado a partir de la recopilación de experiencias personales y de la exploración del entorno del activismo probici de la ciudad de Murcia, que cuenta con personas que han utilizado la bicicleta para sus desplazamientos urbanos cotidianos y que en la actualidad se enfrentan al dilema de dejar o no que sus hijos la usen para realizar actividades de la vida cotidiana, como por ejemplo, el desplazamiento al colegio. A través de la creación de espacios participativos, siguiendo a Tonucci, observamos cómo enfrentan diferentes familias el miedo a la ciudad, que ha expulsado a niños y niñas de sus calles, limitando su autonomía en el espacio urbano.
The history of psychotherapy. Lecture 2. Historical background of psychotherapy (Part III)
Authors: Grinshpun I.B.
Published: September 2016

This publication continues a series of lectures by Igor Borisovich Grinshpun about the history of psychotherapy. This part is devoted to the influence of XIX cen- tury psychology and philosophy to the psychotherapy and describes a wide range of personalities of that time. It traces the development of the natural science line from Wundt’s up to the American behaviorism. We consider some of the ideas of
F. Brentano, and their development in the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl and Martin Heidegger existentialism. Indirect and direct influence of this philosophical approaches to different areas of psychotherapy is analyzed. The founded by Dil- they humanitarian direction in psychology are considered , which became a base for humanistic and existential psychotherapy. The meaning of the hermeneutics of for psychotherapy is discussed. The analysis of the A. Pushkin writings’ fragments in terms of hermeneutics is done. It addresses the issue of diagnosis in psychiatry and psychotherapy. The influence of F. Galton ideas and inventions to psychology and psychotherapy is described. There is shown the connection between the pseudosci- ence phrenology and the doctrine of the localization of mental functions, which is important for the development of psychiatry and clinical psychology.

Authors: Unda Solano Francisco , Calvo Lobo Cesar , Rodriguez Sanz David
Published: September 2016

Objectives: summarize the available literature descriptions of neural mobilization (NM) techniques and neural provocation tests (NPT) for the Lower Limb (LL). Material and Methods: compilation of data was performed in May 2016 using MEDLINE data base, Google Scholar and the library of the European University of Madrid. After application of inclusion/exclusion criterions 5 books and 14 journal publications where found to be of interest and used during data extraction.Results: a list of 8 different LLNM techniques are applied in a rhythmic alternating oscillatory cycle fashion, starting in the initial position from where the therapist proceeds to move the limb in order to achieve a final position.  LL NPTs are useful tools for differential diagnose and selecting the proper LLNM procedure. There is no consensus about the time frame of repetition intervals or amount of tensile strength during NPT never the less it is found to normally be performed at a rate of 2-4 seconds per complete cycle of movement, during 1-5 minutes, 3-5 times a week.Conclusions: LLNM treatment techniques all thou increasingly popular in clinical practice are found to be frugally described and lack proper standardization in regards to therapeutic dosification.

Future Scope of Solar Energy in India
Authors: Singh Bharat Raj , Singh Onkar
Published: September 2016

Generation of solar energy has tremendous scope in India. The geographical location of the country stands to its benefit for generating solar energy. The reason being India is a tropical country and it receives solar radiation almost throughout the year, which amounts to 3,000 hours of sunshine. This is equal to more than 5,000 trillion kWh. Almost, all parts of India receive 4-7 kWh of solar radiation per sq metres. This is equivalent to 2,300–3,200 sunshine hours per year. States like Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Orissa, Punjab, Rajasthan, and West Bengal have great potential for tapping solar energy due to their location. Since majority of the population live in rural areas, there is much scope for solar energy being promoted in these areas. Use of solar energy can reduce the use of firewood and dung cakes by rural household. Many large projects have been proposed in India, some of them are: i).Thar Desert of India has best solar power projects, estimated to generate 700 to 2,100 GW, ii). The Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM) launched by the Centre is targeting 20,000 MW of solar energy power by 2022, iii).Gujarat’s pioneering solar power policy aims at 1,000 MW of solar energy generation, and Rs. 130 billion solar power plan was unveiled in July 2009, which projected to produce 20 GW of solar power by 2020. Apart from above, about 66 MW is installed for various applications in the rural area, amounting to be used in solar lanterns, street lighting systems and solar water pumps, etc. Thus, India has massive plan for Solar Energy generation that may not only fulfill the deficit of power generation but also contribute largely in Green Energy Production to help to reduce the Climatic Changes globally.

Study on Mechanical Behaviour of Sugarcane Bagasse Fiber Reinforced Polymer Matrix Composites
Authors: Tripathi Pankaj , Kumar Dheeraj
Published: September 2016

Availability in natural fibers and easy of manufacturing have tempted researchers to try locally available inexpensive fibers and to study their feasibility of reinforcement purposes and to extent they satisfy the required satisfied of good reinforced polymer composite for other applications. With minimum low cost and high specific mechanical properties, natural fiber represents a good renewable and biodegradable alternative to the most common synthetic reinforcement, i.e. glass fiber. In this study, a series of epoxy based composites reinforced with sugarcane bagasse waste fiber are fabricated. Bagasse is considered to be a by-product of the milling process after production of sugar. Bagasse (fibrous residue) is essentially a waste product that causes mills to incur additional disposal costs. Bagasse is main use as a burning raw material in the sugar cane mill furnaces. The low caloric power of bagasse make a low efficiency process also sugar cane mill management encounters problems regarding regulations of clean air from the environmental protection agency, due to the quality of the smoke released in the atmosphere. Present 85% in bagasse production is burnt. Even so, there is an excess of bagasse. Usually this excess is deposited on empty fields altering the landscape.
