Los trastornos emocionales (trastornos de ansiedad y del estado del ánimo) son los trastornos
mentales con mayor prevalencia en la población. Así, se estima que el 10,7% de las personas
en el mundo sufren un trastorno mental, perteneciendo a los trastornos emocionales los
mayores porcentajes. En concreto, un 3,4% de los trastornos se corresponderían con trastornos
del estado del ánimo y un 3,8% con trastornos de ansiedad. A nivel europeo la prevalencia de
los trastornos del estado de ánimo sería del 3,79% y la de los trastornos de ansiedad del 4,69%.
Finalmente, a nivel nacional un 5,19% de los españoles sufriría cada año un trastorno del
ánimo, mientras que un 5,36% padecería un trastorno de ansiedad (Datanni et al., 2021)

INVESTIGATION OF RESIDUAL STRESSES ARISING DURING INCREMENTAL SHAPING
Authors:   Samara National Research University, Razzhivin V.A. ,   Samara Federal Research Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences
Published: April 2023

In this article, studies have been carried out to determine the magnitude of residual stresses arising during incremental shaping of a truncated cone, depending on the angle of inclination of its formative. To assess the residual stresses the method of cutting rings was used, according to the results of which it was found that the rings, cut out along the height, manufactured conical parts, when cutting are closed. This indicates the formation of compressive circumferential stresses during incremental shaping. There is also an insignificant axial displacement of the ring ends after cutting rings, which indicates the presence of axial residual stresses, the value of which is negligibly small compared to the value of circumferential stresses. As the degree of deformation increases during incremental shaping (increasing the taper angle), the magnitude of residual stresses decreases.

Authors: Guven Akan , Hajiyev Chingiz
Published: April 2023

This research aims to construct a two-stage Kalman filter (TSKF) that is available to estimate the control effectiveness of the actuator on behalf of an actuator stuck fault incident occurring on Boeing-747 commercial airplane. The actuator faults can be diagnosed via TSKF that maintains the states and stuck positions or control loss by two section encapsulated estimation algorithms. The performance of the TSKF algorithm is tested. The source of accidents can be as a result from a control surface stuck such an aileron, rudder, elevator; also, it can be present and appear as bird strike that could tear some part of the control surfaces located on the wings or tail of the airplane. In this study, there is a stuck fault on the rudder control surface and the proposed algorithm introduces the value of the stuck of the broken control surface and it is achieved that utilizing TSKF performs satisfying estimation values which are verified as well on lateral dynamics of the airplane.

The purpose of this research is to study the concept of inclusive tourism and its potential benefits for people with disabilities who face numerous barriers related to access to infrastructure, services, and products.

Methods: The concept of inclusive tourism is not unambiguous and is a debatable issue, which is proved by the literature review. The authors sought to identify models of inclusive tourism development by analyzing publications, state tourism development strategies, and approaches to understanding disability. The authors conducted an online survey to collect data on the special needs of tourists with disabilities and people with disabilities with different nosologies. The data were analyzed to identify the features of the creation and implementation of an inclusive tourism product.

Results: The survey data allow coming to important conclusions about the need to organize social rehabilitation of people with disabilities through inclusive tourism. The authors presented a two-factor model of inclusive tourism development, considering the special needs of tourists with disabilities.

Conclusion: Inclusive tourism helps to improve the quality of life, socio-psychological adaptation, and rehabilitation of people with disabilities. The two-factor model proposed by the authors can serve as a guideline for the creation and implementation of an inclusive tourism product that meets the special needs of tourists with disabilities and people with disabilities with various nosologies.

Nanoarchitectonics to entrap living cells in silica-based systems: encapsulations with yolk–shell and sepiolite nanomaterials
Authors: Martín-Morales Celia , Fernández-Méndez Jorge , Aranda Pilar , Ruiz-Hitzky Eduardo
Published: April 2023

In the present work, the bottom-up fabrication of biohybrid materials using a nanoarchitectonics approach has been applied to entrap living cells. Unicellular microorganisms, that is, cyanobacteria and yeast cells, have been immobilized in silica and silicate-based substrates organized as nanostructured materials. In a first attempt, matrices based on bionanocomposites of chitosan and alginate incorporating sepiolite clay mineral and shaped as films, beads, or foams have been explored for the immobilization of cyanobacteria. It has been observed that this type of biohybrid substrates leads to serious problems regarding the long-time survival of the encapsulated microorganisms. Alternative procedures using silica-based matrices with low sodium content, generated by sol–gel methods, as well as pre-synthesised yolk–shell bionanohybrids have been studied subsequently. Optical microscopy and SEM confirm that the silica shell microstructures provide a reduced contact between cells. The inorganic matrix increases the survival of the cells and maintains their bioactivity. Thus, the encapsulation efficiency is improved compared to the approach using a direct contact of cells in a silica matrix. Encapsulated yeast produced ethanol over a period of several days, pointing out the useful biocatalytic potential of the approach and suggesting further optimization of the present protocols.

Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Wu Ming
Published: April 2023

In this paper, unexpected market excess returns are decomposed into permanent cash-flow news, temporary cash-flow news, and discount-rate news by using a log-linear SVAR model, and the profitability of momentum strategies is analyzed under these news states. The empirical results are as follow. Frist, Momentum returns exist in the US stock market. Second, momentum profitability exists under both permanent and temporary cash-flow news states. This supports the results of Celiker et al. (2016) that momentum profitability exists in the US stock market under cash flow news states. Third, the momentum effect is strong even under the discount-rate news. Finally, Momentum profitability is stronger when the overall market is in an up market. In other words, when the market is up, investors tend to be overconfident, which creates momentums. This paper can analyze which factors play an important role in determining momentum returns by estimating permanent and temporary cash-flow news and discount-rate news by using the developed news decomposition method.
An Empirical Analysis of the Determinants of Household Debt in Korea
Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Ko Dong-Woo , Yoon Seong-Min
Published: April 2023

South Korea's household debt is an important subject of research because it is constantly increasing in size and relatively large compared to other countries. In this study, the determinants of household debt are analyzed from the perspective of economic environment and policy factors. To this end, regression analysis was performed household debt and explanatory variable time series data from Q4 2007 to Q3 2022. The main results obtained from the empirical analysis are as follows. First, economic growth supports households' ability to afford debt. Second, the housing asset price factor contributed to the increase in household debt. Third, mortgage lending decreases when loan interest rates rise, but the effect of interest rate on aggregate credit is somewhat unclear. Fourth, the suppression and relaxation of housing lending through regulation has a significant impact on the size of mortgage lending. The results of this analysis suggest the following policy implications. First of all, in order to manage household debt, it is necessary to stabilize housing prices through housing loan policies. In addition, stable real economic management is required to support households' ability to afford debt. And managing household debt requires appropriate monetary policy and the operation of housing loan regulations.

Authors:   The Korean Data Analysis Society, Shim JiHyun , Chae YoungWon
Published: April 2023

This study analyzed job challenge and learning agility together to reveal various antecedent factors of subjective career success, which increased interest as careers changed to individuals due to recent economic and social changes. In a situation where empirical studies that analyzed three variables integrally are insufficient, a theoretical relationship was assumed based on the conceptual characteristics of each variable. 248 data collected in a survey conducted on domestic companies were analyzed. Along with reliability analysis and correlation analysis, hierarchical regression analysis was performed for hypothesis verification. In addition, Sobel test was performed for mediating effect analysis. As a result of the analysis, job challenges had a significant positive (+) effect on learning agility and subjective career success. In addition, job challenges was found to have a statistically significant positive (+) effect on subjective career success through learning agility. Based on the analysis results, the necessity of constructing challenging jobs at the corporate level, the atmosphere of the organization that can increase learning agility, and the necessity of education were presented as practical implications.

Review question / Objective: The Fragility of Statistically Significant Findings from Depression Randomized Controlled Trials. Condition being studied: Depression is a mental disorder characterized by a range of symptoms, including loss of memory and sleep, decreased energy, feelings of guilt or low mood, disturbed appetite, poor concentration, and an increased risk of suicide. According to a systematic analysis of the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019, depression is recognized as the leading cause of disease burden for mental disorders, accounting for the largest proportion of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) at 37.3%. The fragility index (FI), which is the minimum number of changes from events to non-events resulting in loss of statistical significance, has been suggested as a means to aid the interpretation of trial results, as the potential inadequacy about robustness of threshold P-value as a tool for reporting binary outcomes in clinical trials. In this systematic review, we want to calculate the FI of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) in depression.

A questão de fundo reside em problematizar a representatividade docente na vida acadêmica dos alunos, considerando o atual desenvolvimento de recursos e tecnologias instrucionais.
Mac Linscott Ricketts: Encounters with Mircea Eliade
Authors: Bordaș Liviu
Published: April 2023

The four research interviews with Mircea Eliade (1907–1986) were taken by Mac Linscott Ricketts (1930–2022), who embarked on the project of writing a massive monograph on the Romanian period (1907–1945) of his former professor’s life and work. For this purpose, he conducted research in Eliade’s own archive in Chicago and travelled to Bucharest to consult the pre-World War II publications. Taken between 1981 and 1984, the interviews aim to clarify less known or contentious aspects of Eliade’s biography and intellectual formation. A fifth interview, planned for 1986, was outrun by the sudden death of the great historian of religions. Ricketts replaced it with a short conversation with his wife, Chistinel. The manuscript of the interviews preserved in Ricketts’s personal archive, now in the library of the New Europe College in Bucharest, was retrieved by Liviu Bordaș, who edited and enriched it with explanatory notes.

Published: April 2023

We present the long-term analysis of GS 1826-238, a neutron star X-ray binary known as the Clocked Burster, using data from NuSTAR StrayCats. StrayCats, a catalog of NuSTAR stray light data, contains data from bright, off-axis X-ray sources that have not been focused by the NuSTAR optics. We obtained stray light observations of the source from 2014–2021, reduced and analyzed the data using nustar-gen-utils Python tools, demonstrating the transition of the source from the island atoll state to a banana branch. We also present the light-curve analysis of Type I X-ray bursts from the Clocked Burster and show that the bursts from the banana/soft state are systematically shorter in duration than those from the island/hard state and have a higher burst fluence. From our analysis, we note an increase in the mass accretion rate of the source, and a decrease in burst frequency with the transition.
Le harcèlement scolaire à l’encontre des LGBTQ+ : une enquête par questionnaire
Authors: Jardin Mickaël
Published: April 2023

Cette étude porte sur le harcèlement scolaire à l’encontre des LGBTQ+. En octobre 2021, un questionnaire a été diffusé sur les réseaux sociaux ainsi que dans différentes associations et complété par plus de 900 personnes. La moitié de l’échantillon interrogé se déclare victime de harcèlement. L’étude indique que les individus LGBTQ+ sont nettement plus exposés au harcèlement scolaire, en particulier au sein du collège et du lycée. Les résultats démontrent par ailleurs que les individus LGBTQ+ subissent un harcèlement significativement plus long, que leur sentiment de sécurité est moins élevé et leur détresse psychologique plus forte, mais aussi que ces effets sont plus prononcés sur le décrochage scolaire.

Des écologies sensibles en quartier populaire : Hautepierre, Strasbourg
Authors: Granchamp Laurence , Joly Romane , Horizome
Published: April 2023

En matière d’écologie, les quartiers périphériques et leurs habitants sont envisagés essentiellement comme contraints par la nécessité, ce qui ne laisserait pas de place à des engagements écologiques propres. Cette invisibilisation tend à être renforcée par les politiques de rénovation urbaine et la politique de la ville, en particulier lorsque des dispositifs urbains tels que les jardins partagés sont mobilisés au service du contrôle de l’espace et des conduites des populations. À rebours de ces approches, nous présentons ici les principaux résultats de la constitution de « cartographies sensibles » réalisées de façon participative, avec des habitants-jardiniers d’un quartier périphérique de Strasbourg, dans le cadre d’un programme de recherche-action sur les expérimentations citoyennes pour la transition écologique. Nous montrons comment les expériences sensorielles fondées sur les rapports quotidiens sont sources d’attachements et supports d’engagements. Nous illustrons, enfin, la diversité des articulations entre écologies sensibles et engagements à travers des portraits de ces habitants-jardiniers.
Profils de jardiniers. Pratiques, motivations et représentations du jardinage dans les jardins familiaux
Authors: Di Pietro Francesca , Gardair Emmanuèle , Poiré Marion
Published: April 2023

Les jardins familiaux sont des espaces semi-naturels en milieu urbain et périurbain. À l’heure de l’interdiction des pesticides dans le jardinage amateur, l’étude conduite examine les liens entre la diversité sociospatiale des jardiniers et leurs pratiques horticoles, motivations et représentations du jardinage, avec une attention particulière portée à l’utilisation des pesticides et à la gestion de la flore spontanée. L’analyse d’entretiens semi-directifs réalisés auprès de 30 jardiniers montre des variations corrélées aux profils sociodémographiques de ces derniers. L’examen de leurs discours révèle une différence selon la densité d’urbanisation autour du jardin : la responsabilité de l’utilisation de pesticides est attribuée à l’agriculture commerciale dans les espaces densément urbanisés et aux autres jardiniers dans ceux un peu moins urbanisés. La tolérance de la flore spontanée est plus élevée chez les jardiniers plus aisés, qui semblent avoir moins besoin que les autres de contrôler leur milieu physique.
Coproduire une gestion écologique de l’eau : échanges entre universitaires et habitants en périphérie de Mexico
Authors: Marchand Amaël
Published: April 2023

À la croisée des recherches menées sur les coalitions environnementales et sur la territorialisation des enjeux environnementaux, cet article analyse les ressorts de l’alliance unissant des habitants de quartiers populaires et des universitaires militants autour de l’élaboration d’une gestion écologique de l’eau en périphérie urbaine de Mexico, ainsi que ses effets quant aux (ré)appropriations du territoire. En s’appuyant sur des matériaux qualitatifs (corpus technique, entretiens et observations) issus d’une enquête sociologique de longue durée, il montre comment la planification écologique constitue une interface entre ces deux groupes sociaux, le support d’un système d’échanges de ressources symboliques et matérielles face aux pouvoirs publics, et le fondement d’une convergence cognitive autour de la définition et de l’interprétation de l’espace.
Simuler l’ailleurs dans des malls au Maroc : sociabilité et appartenances extraterritoriales
Authors: Harroud Tarik
Published: April 2023

Au cours des deux dernières décennies, le développement de centres commerciaux a été encouragé dans le cadre d’une néolibéralisation de l’économie nationale marocaine et de l’ouverture grandissante sur l’investissement international. Lancés par des promoteurs étrangers en association avec des investisseurs nationaux, ces lieux mondialisés sont conçus sur le modèle des malls américains et de ceux des pays du golfe Persique, et reproduisent les mêmes configurations spatiales et architecturales. Leur fonctionnement repose sur l’usage d’un ensemble de mécanismes de canalisation des flux de clients et de visiteurs, mais aussi de simulation d’univers symboliques faisant référence principalement à un ailleurs fantasmé. Sur la base d’une série d’investigations qualitatives conduites sur plusieurs malls situés dans deux grandes villes du Maroc, Rabat et Casablanca, cette contribution analyse la construction matérielle et symbolique de ces équipements marchands et étudie la signification des dispositifs de modélisation mis en place et leur réception sociale. Elle montre comment ces univers à la mode et occidentalisés participent, particulièrement pour certaines catégories de visiteurs (jeunes et femmes), à de nouvelles formes de sociabilité et d’être ensemble dans la ville.
Les grands ensembles de standing vus par leurs habitants : quand l’ancrage fait l’image
Authors: Bonneval Loïc , Gentil Aurélien
Published: April 2023

Le contexte international de retour de la verticalité dans les formes urbaines conduit à réfléchir aux représentations associées à ce type d’immeubles aujourd’hui. En France, on est alors confronté à deux discours peu comparables : celui des promoteurs et des urbanistes sur les projets en cours, donc sans recul historique ; et celui du grand public sur l’image négative liée aux grands ensembles de logements sociaux. En revanche, en s’intéressant aux grands ensembles haut de gamme, peu analysés jusqu’ici, on peut faire ressortir des représentations s’inscrivant dans le temps long, sur des édifices qui n’ont pas connu de processus de paupérisation. À partir de deux études de cas sur des résidences lyonnaises, cet article montre comment les mécanismes d’ancrage d’une partie des résidents, entendus comme les formes d’attachement et d’implication qui concourent à l’inscription durable dans ces logements de générations successives d’habitants, influencent ces représentations et, en particulier, la requalification symbolique et matérielle des immeubles depuis la fin des années 2000.
Dynamiques d’adaptation au changement climatique en France et modèles économiques des projets territoriaux
Authors: Dépoues Vivian , Dhénain Sandrine
Published: April 2023

S’adapter aux changements climatiques consiste à poser pleinement la question des conséquences de ces changements dans les décisions stratégiques et d’envisager à la fois les ajustements et les éventuelles transformations qu’ils impliquent. Cet article partage certains résultats préliminaires du projet de recherche Finadapter portant sur le développement économique territorial en France. Ces résultats montrent que loin d’opposer gestion des risques actuels et anticipation de transformations futures, les démarches d’adaptation observées se situent sur un continuum entre réactions spontanées et anticipation proactive. En nous intéressant notamment à la manière dont les modèles économiques territoriaux sont questionnés et évoluent dans un climat qui change, nous discutons quel peut être le rôle d’acteurs comme les institutions financières publiques pour accompagner ces transformations. Les constats que nous dressons à la fois sur la nature des dynamiques d’adaptation et les types de coûts qu’elles génèrent n’étant pas sans rappeler ceux qui sont décrits pour d’autres grandes évolutions en cours (ex. transitions numériques ou énergétiques), ils invitent à mieux penser l’adaptation au changement climatique aux côtés des autres grandes dynamiques contemporaines de transformation des territoires et des organisations.
Cloud-Edge Computing Technology-Based Internet of Things System for Smart Classroom Environment
Authors: Dai Zhicheng , Zhang Qianqian , Zhao Liang , Zhu Xiaoliang , Zhou Dongbo
Published: April 2023

In view of the main challenges faced by the realization of smart classroom environment in classroom teaching, such as inconvenient use of equipment, inability to comprehensively obtain multi-source heterogeneous data in real time, and lack of effective support for smart teaching, an IoT system archi-tecture based on cloud-edge computing technology is proposed. The system architecture consists of four parts: sensor layer, edge computing layer, core network layer and platform application layer, which are respectively used to obtain multi-source heterogeneous data, configure edge nodes on demand, transfer information and provide various educational services. A question-naire survey was adopted to investigate the teachers and students in the smart classrooms of Central China Normal University where the proposed system was implemented. The results showed that the overall satisfaction of students and teachers is high. Among them, 100.00% of teachers and 97.14% of students agreed that the system can effectively collect educational data and give students feed-back; 96.00% of teachers and 91.43% of students believed that it can pro-mote classroom teaching and bring pleasant experience to teachers and stu-dents. In brief, the proposed solution is completely practicable and can pro-vide a reference for the research, construction and application of smart classrooms.

Authors: Javeed Danish , Gao Tianhan , Jamil Zeeshan
Published: April 2023

The quality of human existence is improving day by day, and the internet of things (IoT) has arisen as a new world of technology in the last two decades. It has aided the world through its applications in many sectors. However, while delivering several benefits, the extreme expansion of IoT devices makes them a potential target of attacks, which jeopardise the organisation if left unchecked. Cyber security analysts have recently been using the DL-based model to detect and investigate malware in order to keep the organization secure from cyber-attacks. This work describes how AI-based techniques are utilized to identify cyber threats in the IoT environments better while considering these devices' heterogeneous and resource-constrained nature so that no extra burden is imposed on them.

Authors: Yikilmaz Ibrahim
Published: April 2023

The Covid-19 pandemic has made the competition process even more difficult for businesses, changing the competitive dynamics. The already high level of VUCA (volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity) has increased even more. To be successful in the new industry environment, businesses need to develop their skills in “speed, flexibility, resilience, responsiveness, cost, and efficiency.” Adaptive, flexible, and resilient dynamic capabilities needed by businesses in the post-covid19 era are defined as organizational agility. In this context, the concept of organizational agility is discussed in detail. In the study, recommendations were made about what the new era brought in terms of businesses in the pandemic and post-pandemic era and how to increase organizational agility capabilities (responsiveness, competency, flexibility, speed, and proactiveness) to achieve sustainable competition and survive in the changing competitive dynamics of businesses.

Published: April 2023

The research aims to explore and describe to what extent there is gender difference across the entrepreneurial orientation dimensions (risk-taking, innovativeness, proactiveness, competitiveness, and autonomy) in the Middle East. To achieve this goal, the authors employed a descriptive quantitative research design where 60 male and female entrepreneurs in Palestine were surveyed through a closed-ended questionnaire. The study findings indicate that males are more entrepreneurial-oriented than females, but to a relatively small extent. Moreover, the results showed that male entrepreneurs have a higher mean in risk-taking, competitiveness, and innovativeness, whereas females have a higher mean in proactiveness and autonomy. Additionally, the study showed that the traditions and customs prevalent in Palestine were the most critical restrictions for females to become entrepreneurs. Moreover, female entrepreneurs face different restrictions, including society's perception toward women, lack of funds, and legislation obstacles such as registration.

Published: April 2023

Ethics, values, and morals in institutional leadership and management have eroded most Nigerian leaders as a result of the high rate of social sins—and that the ways leaders conduct themselves have destroyed society. Social sins, which are now permeable in Nigeria, have become legitimate or acceptable and quite common nowadays, and institutional leaders have little or no influence on solving the menace of social sins in their institutions and families. This chapter empirically reported the findings of cutting-edge research that reviewed and systematized what was hitherto known and what is yet to be acknowledged as social sins and the quality of institutional leadership and management in Nigeria.

Published: April 2023

The role of enterprises in boosting the economy cannot be overemphasized. This role ranges from job creation to poverty reduction. Despite the crucial roles, it is reported that a number of new businesses cease to operate within three years. Business incubators can mitigate the early closure of businesses through training, mentoring, sharing of infrastructure, information, and networking opportunities, especially for SMEs. Focusing on Eswatini where the value of SMEs is linked to socioeconomic development, this chapter offers an understanding of the strategies business incubators use to support SMEs. The authors used a questionnaire and interviews to collect data from government-owned business incubators and SME owners. Strategies are applied in supporting SMEs, some owners reported dissatisfaction with the strategies. New strategies need to be explored. The authors propose the setting up of an effective research and information center where viable markets can be identified, and information provided, to assist SMEs to position their products in appropriate markets using relevant technology.
Leadership and Governance for Higher Education Sustainability
Authors: Dieguez Teresa
Published: April 2023

The sustainable development agenda can be strongly impacted by higher education institutions (HEI) and their stakeholders. With a strong impact on raising the sustainability awareness of future professionals and leaders, HEI is a driver of economic growth, at the heart of the sustainable development goals (SDGs), and in promoting sustainability. Governance can influence sustainability initiatives and the adoption of SDG initiatives can be delayed by issues of governance and organizational culture. Presenting a holistic approach to governance, this chapter aims to understand how Portuguese higher education institutions are exploring their entrepreneurial and innovative potential; more specifically, leadership and governance. Using the HEInnovate tool, a self-assessment tool for higher education institutions, and an initiative of the European Commission in partnership with the OECD, a powerful tool is presented for helping HEIs assess their current situation and identify potential areas for action.
Analogies from the E&P Business Model Applied for Green Hydrogen Developments Offshore Uruguay
Authors: Ferro Santiago , Tomasini Juan , Gristo Pablo , Novo Rodrigo
Published: April 2023

Uruguay is at the forefront in the use of renewable energy sources and has almost totally decarbonized its electricity matrix, reducing its dependence on fossil fuels. The country is advancing into a second energy transition, including the development of a green Hydrogen (H2) economy. This work presents the Analogies from the Exploration & Production (E&P) business model applied for green H2 developments offshore Uruguay.

Considering the sovereignty Uruguay has in activities such as the production of energy from wind in its Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), the Uruguayan NOC has based its vision for a sustainable future on the H2U Offshore Round, for which it will offer offshore areas on bidding rounds for energy companies to carry out feasibility studies and potential installation of infrastructure to produce H2 from offshore renewable energy, at their own cost and risk entirely. In this work, the authors elaborated a probabilistic technical and economic model, including all the relevant considerations for the green H2 development project, which was used for the design of the proposed fiscal regime for the H2U Offshore Round.

The Uruguayan NOC is managing and articulating the traditional Oil & Gas (O&G) upstream business and the green H2 offshore program together simultaneously, maximizing the synergies among them. The offshore of Uruguay presents a large technical potential and excellent conditions for wind resource, with high wind speed, capacity factors and the availability of large areas. This paper includes the main features of the H2U Offshore Round bidding terms and the contract model, highlighting the synergies and analogies with the E&P projects. In addition, the results of the abovementioned probabilistic model, such as project profitability measures, breakeven hydrogen price and minimum economic capacity factors are presented.

In the recent past, Uruguay was able to attract over a billion of US$ of risk capital from the major O&G companies for exploration of hydrocarbons offshore. Hence, the NOC's innovative approach is to bring several similarities from the E&P business to the H2U Offshore Round, with a sound and fair balance between risk and rewards for the energy companies, leading a responsible transition pathway from fossil fuels to green hydrogen in Uruguay.
