Proposals for Equitable Governance and Management of Natural Resources in Nigeria
Authors: Adangor Z.
Published: February 2018

The current regime of centralized natural resource governance poses one of the greatest threats to the stability of the Federation of Nigeria. The centralization of natural resource ownership and government is perceived by the ethnic minorities of the oil-producing Niger Delta Region of Nigeria as a tool of ethnic domination by the majority ethnic groups. Given the centrality of natural resources to the growth of Nigeria’s economy and the desirability of maintaining a stable federation, this research seeks to propose an equitable regime of natural resource governance that recognises and accommodates both national and regional interest in Nigeria’s abundant natural resources and thereby strengthens federal stability. This paper which adopts analytical and comparative research methodologies, argues that the current regime of natural resource governance in Nigeria is divisive and that only the participation of the federating states in the governance of natural resources exploited within their respective geographic boundaries would conduce to peace and inter-regional harmony and enhance the capacities of the federating states to develop at their varying speed according to the dreams of the Founding Fathers of Nigerian federalism. The paper concludes by recommending resource federalism whereby competence over natural resource governance could be shared between the federal government and the federating states.
Knowledge Sharing in Ontario Colleges: The Way to Sustainable Education
Authors: Nafea Rania Mohy EL Din , Toplu Esra Kilicarslan
Published: February 2018

This paper puts forward several principles that the authors believe are essential for quality education in Canadian colleges. The relationship between establishing communities of practice, creating knowledge repositories, encouraging top management commitment to knowledge sharing and establishing a comprehensive reward system are examined in relation to innovation in education. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) #4 of the UN postulates quality education among its top initiatives.The question that arises is how do we ensure that SDG #4 is implemented in higher education institutions? Accordingly, data was collected through observation of faculty and staff from the 2017 Ontario Colleges strike. Although a strong corporate culture exists in Ontario colleges, the system continues to struggle with explicit top management principles that support knowledge sharing across different disciplines. Inter and intra departmental forums including students are non-existent. Knowledge repositories, that staff, faculty and students can tap into are lacking. A greater conversation with stakeholders is imperative to weave all the threads of organizational behavior practices together to nurture future global citizens. Only then can we achieve sustainable quality education.
Urban form Analysis Based on Smart Growth Characteristics at Neighborhoods of 9th District in Mashhad Municipality
Authors: Saeid Rezvani Kakhki , Rahim Rahnama Mohammad , Shokouhi Mohammad Ajza
Published: February 2018

The purpose of this article is investigating the form of cities based on the new approach of urban smart growth and transect. Currently, the smart urban growth by using the transect method has been able to apply the environmental criteria and keep away from sprawl. The design is based on applying transect method in scale of neighborhoods within metropolis zone. In the zones of transect, different indexes of urban forms have defined clearly; furthermore are measurable and analyzable. The second purpose is determining degree of compatibility between urban characteristics within metropolis zone in one hand, and form-base codes of smart growth in the other hand. The case study of present research is selected due to having diversity of urban forms, different kinds of density, land-use and urban natural landscapes. For this diversity, 9th district in Mashhad metropolis was selected. The transect method has six separate zoning from T1 as the most natural and rural indexes, to T6 including most urban and dense indexes. The new method of Space Matrix for measuring the urban is used for transect zoning. By selecting a north- south crosscut in the considered district and exploiting the urban indexes, the Transect typology of each selected urban unit was determined by spacematrix method. Then, resulted indexes for each urban unit separately were assessed by multi-criteria decision-making matrixes(MCDM). Finaly by the hypothesis test part, with respect to compliance of more than 50% of 26 indexes of urban units of 9th district, it seems that direction of new urban regulation and models totally express avoiding sprawl and tending to ecologic approaches in the concepts of smart growth and urban form characteristics can analyzed.

Quando o antígeno específico da próstata nos leva ao Balint: um relato de caso
Authors: Duarte Silva Cristina Isabel
Published: February 2018

O benefício do rastreio do câncer da próstata na redução da mortalidade continua controverso. O risco de intervenção médica excessiva, diagnóstica e terapêutica, é significativo, pelo que não devem ser descurados os princípios éticos da prevenção quaternária. A decisão deverá ser sempre partilhada. Mas, para que isto aconteça, é fundamental uma boa comunicação/relação médico-doente. O caso que se descreve aborda estes e demais aspectos, pondo em causa a não utilidade do rastreio. Trata-se de um homem jovem com adenocarcinoma da próstata metastizado que, anos antes, já apresentava uma elevação do antígeno específico da próstata (PSA) que não foi valorizada. Um doente por si só já difícil e cujo diagnóstico desafiou ainda mais a tentativa de criação de uma relação empática. Obstáculo que acabou por ser ultrapassado com sucesso depois do médico de família participar num grupo Balint.
How to do Applied Ethics Right
Authors: Jaworski Peter ,   Philosophy Documentation Center
Published: February 2018

Mark Cherry’s Kidney for Sale by Owner is a book that illustrates how to do applied ethics right. Mark Cherry recognizes the important role of empirical facts in bridging a gap between our moral prescriptions, and our public policy or institutional prescriptions. In Kidney for Sale by Owner this method is on full display. While there is nothing the matter with Ideal Theory, we stand in need of what might be called bridge principles between the ideals of justice and some specific set of institutions that, we intend and hope, will actually realize those ideals. The bridge between Ideal and Actual will consist of empirical facts that require the tools of the social scientists.
Branding matters: Reimagine your library services
Authors: Wengler Susan
Published: February 2018

While attending ACRL 2017 in Baltimore, I came upon a poster titled “Cultivating Curiosity: Intersecting Century-Old Services for 21st Century Impact,” which suggested that a simple rebranding of traditional reference services could markedly increase student engagement. I was intrigued by these findings but somewhat skeptical. How could such a low-cost, low-tech strategy generate such high-impact results? Thankfully, presenters Jennifer Hunter and Christina Riehman-Murphy of the Penn State University Libraries-Abington College were on hand to answer all my questions. Hunter and Riehman-Murphy outlined their program and outcomes, and they convinced me: branding matters. I left the convention center inspired, ready to bring their marketing blueprint back to Queensborough Community College (QCC) of the City University of New York (CUNY).

Cataloging backlogs: Perennials, seaweeds, or others?
Authors: Diao Junli
Published: February 2018

Cataloging backlogs are a perennial part of cataloging work, but they differ from library to library. In some libraries, cataloging backlogs are temporary imbalances between the fast growth of new acquisitions and shrinking of cataloging personnel and support. In other libraries, cataloging backlogs are simply those materials that go beyond the regular scope of bibliographical management. No matter the type of cataloging backlog, they are bulky, substantial, and visible. Some might even use them as an advantage to contribute to their job security. However, when cataloging backlogs sneak into a library’s bibliographic system and build up there for years, they are not perennials any more. They become like seaweeds in the ocean: you know they are there, and you can even have a glance at their tips provocatively bouncing along with the waves; but if you really want to grasp them and dig out their roots, you will have to dive in deep.

Toma de posesión de los presidentes del Gobierno de Navarra en sede parlamentaria
Authors: Mena García Tomás
Published: February 2018

Desde la reintegración de las instituciones forales en 1979 y la posterior aprobación de la Ley Orgánica de Reintegración y Amejoramiento Foral de Navarra (LORAFNA) en 1982, se han sucedido ocho ceremonias de toma de posesión para el cargo de presidente del Gobierno de la Comunidad Foral, que han tenido siempre carácter parlamentario, con independencia del lugar en el que se hayan desarrollado. A lo largo de este trabajo se pretende estudiar su evolución a través del tiempo, sin perder de vista la singularidad de Navarra como una tierra que ha sabido preservar sus derechos históricos, así como la particularidad de los rituales parlamentarios que le son peculiares porque acontecen en el marco del poder legislativo, independiente y autónomo. The protocol carried out by the regional parliamentary assemblies in Spain has been, with a few outstanding exceptions, not very well looked into. At the same time parliaments are rather complex and unique institutions due to its independence from the executive branch. In this essay I will discuss the past and present of the inauguration ceremony of the President of the Government of Navarre within the parliament venue. Navarre is also a very unique region that has managed to preserve her self-government through the years. Since the creation of the Parliament of Navarre in 1979, this ceremony has taken placed eight times. During all these years, this event has evolved and has coped with challenges that I consider of interest to assess and present to the reader.

The Future of Research and Experimentation in Technological Design of the Relationships between Architecture, Energy and Environment
Authors: Angelucci Filippo
Published: February 2018

The problematic nature of the centrality of the focal core formed of the Technological Design/ Energy / Environment relationship has never been so evident as at the present time, together with the need to tackle it urgently. Humanity has been directly interfacing with the energy issue and the "non-renewability" of resources on the one hand, and the question of harmful and climate-changing emissions on the other part for other for at least thirty years. This is the reason why it is our principal scientific and ethical duty to focus a major part of our attention and efforts on research – as proved in Italy by a significant part of the activities of PhD Program in "Planning Design Technology" of Sapienza University of Rome, by "NZEB" cluster of SITdA Italian Society of Technology of Architecture and by National Work Group "Green Economy for Architecture and Cities" of CNGE National Council on the Green Economy â€“ in order to take significant steps forward. And to provide incisive answers for the emergency situations represented by, to use the two iconic terms of the much larger set of questions, the Climate and Energy problems. On the other hand, if it is true that the Nearly Zero Energy Building slogan specifically alludes to the scale of action, what is certain is that, at an international level, this is not the sole correct level on which we can and we must operate in order to have a chance of success, effectiveness and obtainment of that efficiency referred to in the first European directive 2002/91/EC through to the most recent 2010/31/EU "Energy Performance of Buildings" and 2012/27/EU "Energy Efficiency" which, inter alia, establish the concept of NZE architecture. So the working dimension becomes primarily "a-scaleable", in its need to oscillate constantly, with ongoing feedback, between actions at various leveles. Research related to the broad areas of Nearly Zero Energy Architecture developed in recent years fits into Technological Design in this sense and in this light, mainly in relation to regeneration of the existing architectural heritage, technologies for new building projects, process governance, the systemic approach on an urban scale, environmental and energy sustainability protocols, smart communities and cultural heritage.
Simulation of Dynamic Thermal Behaviour for Housing in Warm Climate: The Case of Thermal Mass in Lightweight Envelopes
Authors: Tonelli Chiara , Montella Ilaria
Published: February 2018

Comparison between simulation results and measured performances is usually an open scientific problem, crucial to achieving the goal of NZEB performance.
This paper addresses this issue in relation to residential buildings, using as a case study "RhOME for denCity", the housing prototype developed by Roma TRE University and winner of Solar Decathlon Europe 2014.
In a Mediterranean climate, the use of the mass combined with natural cross ventilation to control the indoor microclimate can be very effective in reducing HVAC use. Therefore, a "massive layer" was introduced in the inner surface of the envelope to not only contribute to the envelope transmittance value and the shifting phase of the thermal waves, but also as a thermal shock absorber to adjust the internal temperature, in both summer and winter.
This experimental envelope was tested over two weeks during the competition in Versailles. Although prototype thermal behaviour was monitored only during the competition, and not over an extended period, initial results provide information on how to size the thermal mass contribution for indoor comfort. In-depth simulation through TRNSYS was run prior to the construction phase. This paper presents the comparison between monitored performance and simulations in order to measure the amount of mass needed to obtain a numerical improvement in indoor comfort performance.
Energy Efficiency of Low Quality Built Heritage: Methodological Reflections on Achieving the NZEB through a Case Study in the City of L'Aquila
Authors: Ieie Elisa
Published: February 2018

About the building heritage and, in particular, about the widespread heritage without historical or architectural quality, it currently opens a challenge in perpetual evolution. This is the integration of innovative technological solutions for building regeneration, which can help a qualitative improvement of the living spaces and the reduction of energy consumptions. Context factors, the intensity of precipitation, the different types of soil, and the amount of solar irradiation or wind speed are doubtless the main causes of the degradation of the existing buildings.
On another way, through the control of climatic and biophysical parameters, the focus on the properties of materials and a careful design process, these variables can increase the use of renewable energy sources, becoming environmental resources to reduce energy consumption, to provide comfortable living spaces and aiming the realization of a Near Zero Energy Building.
The paper proposes a reflection on the main methodological issues emerged in the hypothesis of intervention experimented on a case study in the city of L'Aquila. The building, located near the historical center of the city, is in direct relation with important pre-existences such as the Forte Spagnolo and the San Salvatore hospital. It is an example of possible regeneration of low quality building in which the additional use of new functional spaces can increase not only energy performances, but also an increase of architectural value of the building.

Published: February 2018

This paper shows the process followed to carry out a computer-aided engineering study of a historical invention of the famous Spanish engineer, Agustín de Betancourt y Molina, which is part of its rich cultural heritage.
This is an analysis of the mill for grinding flint presented in London on March 28, 1796. For this purpose, this research is based on the 3D geometric model obtained by computer-aided design techniques with Autodesk Inventor Professional.
The results show that the maximum stresses did not exceed the limit of rupture of the material, and that the greater displacements occurred in the blades of the hydraulic wheel. Also, the main conclusion is that the device put into practice was a consistent, original, innovative and dimensioned design with a high safety factor from the structural point of view, that is to say, it was oversized, which corroborates the usual practices of the age.

Recent research and applications have shown that fibre reinforced concrete (FRC) is an attractive solution also for structural elements [1]. The addition of fibres improves the material response when subjected to bending and tensile stresses [2]. The objective of this study was to assess the shear behaviour of steel and polyolefin fibre reinforced concrete. The experimental campaign was conducted using push-off specimens obtained from the remaining halves of specimens previously tested in flexural tensile tests. Moreover, the tests were performed with a digital image correlation system (DIC) in order to associate the cracking processes with residual shear strengths during the test. The results showed that the higher fibre dosage the higher maximum shear strengths as well as residual shear load bearing capacity.

Keywords: Fibre reinforced concrete, shear strength, push-off test, digital image correlation

The aim of the study is to compare the influence of the thermal conductivity in heat absorption of mass concrete subjected to a thermal aggression by a direct fire test. Concrete elements with addition of polypropylene fibers in 1% to 2% and steel fibers in 1% and 2% by weight of cement have been tested and compared to concrete without additions. To this end, direct fire tests on cylindrical samples and thermal conductivity tests on cubic specimens have been carried out. The analysis of the results shows that the addition of polypropylene fibers contributes to improve the concrete fire performance, reducing the thermal conductivity and heat transfer towards the structural element, which minimizes the expansion - contraction effect and the appearance of fissures on the concrete specimen.

The influence of carbon and basalt fibres addition on hydraulic lime mortars mechanical properties and durability has been studied. The objective is to evaluate the possible use in restoration of architectural heritage, as an alternative to Portland cement because of the pathological processes that the latter causes. To assess the effect, the obtained results have been compared with two reference mortars: hydraulic lime with no additions and basalt fibres. The amount of fibres to be incorporated is questioned in the first phase. The tests performed show that the incorporation of 1% of fibres (volume) in the mortars, improves their behaviour under bending and compression loads. Additionally, the fibres increase the ductility of the reinforced mortar, almost doubling the effect that causes the addition of basalt fibres. Finally, the durability studies show the increase in ductility caused by the addition of carbon fibres, despite the logic decrease experienced after the ageing tests.

One of the major concern of wind farm offshore is the type of wind turbine foundation to be installed. When it comes to talk about offshore installation of pre-piled fixed jacket foundations (3-4 legs), one of the most critical activities to be performed by the installer is the grouting operation. For currently wind turbines size, are being installed on the new wind farms developments, pre-piling jacket installation is a very extended alternative used and we could be talking about piles with easily 30m length and between 2-3 m diameter which are drilled into the seabed until only 4-5 m come out the seabed line. Once piles have been installed into the seabed it comes the time to proceed with jacket legs installation. For this operation, heavy lift vessel is spready used due to dimension and weight of these structures and once structure has been guide-lifted over the sea level it starts coming down into the sea until it´s fixed into the already installed piles. Next step is to grouting-secured together both structures (pile and jacket) pouring grout, throughout the already pre-installed grouting lines into the lower part of the jacket leg, along the ring around between jacket leg and piles border as well as the gap between the stabbing cone (being the sharp shaped ending up of the jacket leg) and the ground (we´re usually talking about mm distance). Due to complexity of the overall manoeuvre as well as required precision not only for the grout system but for the right parameters should be considered for pouring in order to ensure the grout correctly into the pile/jacket annulus without segregation or other undesirable effects occurring a mock-up test was carried out. The proposed and analysed method defines a protocol that could be used and repeated for others offshore windfarms that are planned to be installed in the future over pre-pilled foundations. Running a grout wall test based on protocol described on this paper prior to offshore grout operations will guarantee mix of grout and lub is in line with grouting foundations requirements, saving pumping grout time and therefore vessel stand by costs as well as money savings for grout exceeds, avoiding segregation problems could lead up to in worst case to foundations removal with massive vessel standby costs for reparation of the entire installation foundation operation.
