Methane pyrolysis in molten salt environments
Creators: name: Parkinson, Brett James
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Low-cost, low-carbon H2 is required to decarbonise fuels and chemicals. In this thesis, the costs and emissions inventories of H2 production methods were reviewed, assessed and a framework developed to determine the levelised cost of carbon mitigation and proportional decarbonisation fraction relative to the industry standard steam methane reforming. This analysis demonstrated CH4 pyrolysis to be a potentially cost-effective CO2 mitigation option for low-carbon H¬2 production by technology substitution, provided engineering challenges of carbon separation are surmountable. CH4 pyrolysis in molten salt bubble column reactors was identified as a promising, unexplored area of research with potential low-cost carbon separation advantages. In order to quantify specific reaction rates in molten salt pyrolysis systems, a novel analytical technique to characterise bubbles generated from single orifices in high temperature liquid systems based on pressure pulses was developed. The performance of simple alkali halide salts (NaCl, NaBr, KCl, KBr and NaBr:KBr (48.7:51.3 mol%)) as reactive media candidates in molten salt bubble columns for CH4 pyrolysis were subsequently evaluated to characterise the reaction rate dependence on temperature, CH4 partial pressure and surface area to volume ratios of bubbles generated in the melt. The carbon samples generated in each were all low-density (< 1g cm-3), highly porous and demonstrated relatively low-levels of structural order. The carbon separability and residual salt contamination were correlated to the carbon-salt adhesion energy. Suspensions of fluidised y-Al2O3 particles inside the molten salt bubble column (slurry reactor) were used as probing particles to elucidate mass transfer mechanisms at the surface of the bubble. It was found that the y-Al2O3 particles enhance the rate of reaction, potentially by acting as lower-energy nucleation sites for solubilised carbon precipitation. The carbon deposited on the surface of the particles was identified as the active site for the enhanced reaction rates observed.
Riconoscere, identificare, spiegare: l’arte di teorizzare e la sociologia di Alessandro Pizzorno
Creators: name: Chesta, Riccardo Emilio
Publisher: name: SocietàMutamentoPolitica
Year: 2020

description: This essay draws a profile of Alessandro Pizzorno, one of the most prominent sociologists of postwar Europe. It focuses on the foundations of his theory which covers a broad set of sociological and political issues that go well beyond disciplines’ boundaries. The author traces a genealogy of Pizzorno’s theory of recognition from its inception with the early anthropological study on the mask to its more recent and complex sociological elaboration. While criticising the paradigms of rational choice Pizzorno founded his theory of recognition on a sustained dialogue with the social theories of Hegel and Hobbes. The explanatory role of sociology is therefore defined by a thorough and novel reconsideration of the relations between the theorist and the agent. From this perspective, the process of knowing is defined as a process of unveiling a foreign social reality where social life is considered through the metaphor of the stranger, expressing the foundational relation between the Self and the Other. In the author’s view, «theoretical pluralism» is what best describes Alessandro Pizzorno’s approach.

Cultural Experiences in Florence and Italy: The Grand Tour Narrative in the 21st Century
Creators: name: Birindelli, Pierluca
Publisher: name: SocietàMutamentoPolitica
Year: 2020

description: In this article I explore various current myths that lead foreigners, especially North Europeans and North Americans, to choose to visit/live in Florence or Tuscany for a while or forever. Is it possible to discern any shared, collective representations? If so, how do such myths fit into the contemporary everyday life of the city? Can we identify a pathway from the aesthetic quest for “authentic” Italian life to cultural encounters with Italians in the flesh? My hypothesis is that one of the leitmotifs of foreigners’ experiences is a romantic, and to a lesser degree, intellectual approach towards “Florence without Florentines”. If so, there is nothing new “Under the Tuscan Sun”: the Grand Tour narrative is alive and kicking. Contemporary experiences of Florence and Tuscany continue to be shaped by the social imaginary inherited from the early nineteenth century. Travellers and sojourners come to Florence with a set of expectations shaped through filmic and literary representations and see what they expect to see, not least because the Italians are equally complicit in performing their part in this ritualised experience.

Year: 2019

description: Flere og flere indkøbere i virksomheder og kommuner ønsker at få en tydeligere grøn profil. Der er fokus på forskellige områder, hvor aktiviteterne kan ændres, så energiforbrug reduceres og emissioner af CO₂ og lokal forurening reduceres. Et af de områder der er fokus på er transport, den interne transport i virksomheder og kommuner, kommunernes indkøb af transport og senest også på den transport som leverandørerne udfører for at kunne levere deres varer eller serviceydelser. I præsentationen gennemgås, hvordan en kommune eller større virksomhed kan fastsætte krav til leverandørernes transport. Dette illustreres med konkrete eksempler fra en analyse gennemført for Københavns kommune. Tilgangen består af forskellige elementer. Der ses på transportbehovene i forbindelse med forskellige indkøbskategorier, hvordan leverandørernes typiske transport ser ud, hvilke køretøjer, der benyttes. Derudover skal de teknologiske udviklinger fastlægges og endelig skal det vurderes, hvordan krav påvirker leverandørernes pris og hvordan indkøberens organisation påvirkes.

Year: 2020

description: Salicylic acid (SA) play important roles in different physiological processes of plants such as plant growth, stress response, plant adaptation and secondary metabolite accumulation. This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of exogenous SA applications on the growthmeasurements such as fresh and dry weight of aerial part and lead dry weight, biochemical properties (membrane permeability, lipid peroxidation, Proline content and ROS scavenger enzymes) and secondary metabolite accumulation(total phenolic and the flavonoid and essential oil content) in peppermint (Mentha piperita L.) plants grown at different levels of water deficit stress (Field capacity: FC). For this aim, three different water deficit stress (no stress (100% FC), mild stress (75% FC) and moderate stress (50% FC)) and four different SA concentrations (0, 1, 2 and 2.5 mM) were applied to peppermint plants. Results showed that all of the measured parameters were affected by the water deficit stress and SA application. By elevating the level of water deficit stress, fresh and dry weights of aerial parts and dry leaf weight decreased. Increasing in the water deficit stress level from mild to moderate stress resulted to reduce the essential oil content while proline, lipid peroxidation, total phenolic contents, flavonoid content, and antioxidant enzyme activities increased depending on water deficit stress. Exogenous application of SA obstructed the negative effects of water deficit stress by decreasing the lipid peroxidation and membrane permeability and improving the antioxidant enzymes activities. Essential oil content increased significantly in plant treated with SA grown under water deficit stress conditions. Application of 2 or 2.5 mM of SA enhanced the plant growth and development without any toxic effects and increased significantly the total phenolic content, dry leaf weight, and the essential oil content in stressed and even in control (100% FC) peppermint plants.

description: This proposal is submitted under the Carrick Institute’s Competitive Grants Program and is related to priority 2: Strategic approaches to learning and teaching that address the increasing diversity of the student body. It seeks to fulfil the Carrick Objective (f) which is to “identify learning and teaching issues that impact on the Australian Higher Education system to address these” (Competitive Grants Program (Guidelines and Supporting Information, 2007, p. 5)). One of the emerging issues is the changing nature and diversity of students in science. This project aims to address the language needs of a diverse student body by investigating and testing strategic approaches to learning and teaching in First Year sciences. This project is concerned with the acquisition of language specific to science (rather than for science students to write grammatically correct sentences or improve language use for ESL students). What this project will achieve is developing students’ ability to see interconnectedness between language and scientific problems; developing their strategies to deal with language issues in science; and providing them with techniques, knowledge and experience needed to solve problems more efficiently in the scientific disciplines.The disciplines covered by the project are Biology, Chemistry and Physics
Regionalization and Globalization in Networks of Transnational Human Mobility, 1960–2010
Creators: name: Deutschmann, Emanuel
Publisher: name: SocietàMutamentoPolitica
Year: 2020

description: The dramatic increases in transnational mobility and communication over recent decades give rise to the question of whether the world is globally integrating or whether regions are emerging as a new layer of societal integration beyond the nation-state. Yet, our knowledge in this regard is still limited, as researchers have thus far modeled regionalization and globalization as either independent from or dependent on each other and their conclusions are heavily contingent upon this decision. Furthermore, most past empirical studies on this issue have focused on economic and institutional ties, disregarding people’s cross-border activity. This article aims to (a) clarify the relation between regionalization and globalization via a novel conceptualization that allows the modeling of the two processes as both complementary and competitive and thus to compare resulting outcomes, and (b) empirically trace regionalization and globalization in five types of transnational human mobility (asylum-seeking, migration, refuge-seeking, studying abroad and tourism) over time. Network analyses of flows between 38,220 country dyads reveal that while in absolute terms both regionalization and globalization occur, regional integration exceeds global integration. While this effect is found for all regions, it is strongest in Latin America and the Caribbean. These findings contradict basic assumptions of world-systems theory’s core-periphery model, demanding a rethink regarding the structure of the transnational world, paying increased attention to the role of regions as a relevant layer of societal integration between the nation-state and world society.

Dalla temporalità dei moderni alle aspettative di futuro nell’Antropocene. Un itinerario teorico attraverso Koselleck, Latour e Beckert
Creators: name: Bontempi, Marco
Publisher: name: SocietàMutamentoPolitica
Year: 2020

description: The aim of this article is to discuss some fundamental dimensions of the entaglement between the changes in the modern understanding of the temporality of the past and the future, the current transformations of the relations between nature and society, as expressed by Anthropocene concept, and some significant developments in the contemporary sociological theory about agency and the change of capitalism. These dimensions are reconstructed in a theoretical itinerary in which is discussed a double contribution of Koselleck to sociological theory: on the one hand, his work on the temporality of moderns, particularly his conceptual reconstruction of the categories of nature and history, focuses connections and developments that go beyond the analysis of the theoretical horizon of modernity. The reinterpretation of these categories in an actor-network perspective allows us to rethink, on the basis of Latour's work, the modern distinction of nature and history in the connection between agency and sociomateriality and assumptions of meaning of interactional situations. On the other hand, the aim is to highlight how the dynamism of the conceptual couple "experience and expectation" that Koselleck identifies as a result of modern temporality, finds in the recent theory of Fictional Expectations by Jens Beckert an original and productive theoretical view for the sociology of capitalism and the study of its change.

Enhancing the learning of Mandarin Chinese using technology and active learning techniques
Creators: name: Zhang, Felicia

Year: 2014
Subjects: Language
Education

description: This paper reports on an empirical study on the use of active learning techniques, including the use of a speech comparison tool, Moodle and hot potato exercises for the learning of Mandarin Chinese in a regional university
in Australia.
Content: The active learning techniques are techniques derived from an active language learning approach known as the 'Somatically-enhanced Approach'(S.E.A)(Zhang, 2006) to language learning. These included humming, clapping to rhythms of the language, using movement and gestures to enhance the perception
of rhythmic patterns in a language and the use of speech comparison tool for students to monitor their own speech. In 2009, opportunities for more targeted and rewarding learning have arisen through Moodle. To further complement the active learning skills used in the face to face classroom, all weekly
listening activities are now moved to Moodle as hot potato exercises so that students' completion of these tasks will be automatically recorded and feedback can be automatically offered to the students via the Moodle. Records kept by Moodle coupled with paper-based homework will also provide the lecturer with just-in-time feedback questions which target at common areas of
concern for groups of students.
Method: The effectiveness of this blended learning model will be evaluated at the end of the semester using a mixture of quantitative and qualitative approaches with the aims of answering the question: Does this blend of active learning techniques and use of ICT benefit student learning from both teaching staff and learners' point of view? Student surveys to ascertain student satisfaction towards the use of technology in the model with this group of students will be collected. Time permitting, an acoustic study of the differences of these students with previous cohorts of students who did not learn Mandarin using S.E.A will also be provided. S.E.A has been used to teach zero beginners since 2003.
Benefits: While the integration of this array of technology is new since 2009, the effectiveness of S.E.A. has already been established elsewhere (Zhang, 2006). It is envisaged that this study will provide further proof that these active learning techniques are effective in teaching zero beginners from
English speaking cultures to acquire intelligible Mandarin speech without the aid of pinyin Romanization. The integration of technology is an essential component of S.E.A and this serves to perpetuate the enthusiasm and motivation created in the classroom beyond the confines of the classroom into their self-
study. Observable benefits to students are that they possess better pronunciation (as scored by native speakers of Mandarin), higher level of motivation in pursuing Mandarin Chinese in the long term (obtained through satisfaction surveys and interviews) and higher participation and completion rates in Moodle exercises

description: The article discusses promising areas of healthcare development using public-private partnership mechanisms. The relevance of the study is due to the need to improve the efficiency of healthcare in the Republic of Belarus based on the mechanism of public-private partnership. The scientific implementation of state health policy includes the selection and analysis of information about the patterns of health formation, as well as the need for medical care of the population both at the republican level and at the district level. An important mechanism for attracting non-state funds is public-private partnership (hereinafter referred to as PPP), which in the modern world has become one of the main instruments of state investment policy. The study was conducted to identify the features of the implementation of the PPP mechanism and develop proposals for its improvement in the healthcare system of the Republic of Belarus.

description: The essay proposes to carry out an overview of the main contributions that sociology, political sociology and political science have made to the study of the October Revolution of 1917, and its consequences on what the Soviet state will then be until its collapse in 1991. The panorama of social and political studies in this field is in fact quite varied. In addition to well-known works, such as the works of Milovan Djilas or James Burnham, research deserves to be known and appreciated which, despite having had less “fame”, does not for this constitute works of lesser scientific value, such as, for give just two examples, the work of Waldemar Gurian or, in Italy, of Bruno Rizzi. As part of this review, we proceed to a discussion of the works dividing them according to the main perspectives with which they have faced the study of the Soviet Revolution and State. These perspectives can be divided as follows: a) the debate between juridical sciences and political sciences on the classification and definition of the Soviet regime; b) the role of bureaucracy in building the socialist state; c) the debate on totalitarianism and the Soviet case; d) the role of the elites in the October Revolution and in maintaining the regime achieved by it; e) mass society in twentieth-century Russia and the use of its characteristics by the revolutionary elite. The essay concludes by noting that a considerable part of the studies in question are still not translated from Russian or other Eastern European languages, and tries to answer the question about why totalitarianism, at least in the West, has found most of the scholars who have dealt with it, intent on analyzing mainly the Nazi case in Germany, and not the communist one in Russia.

description: Fremtidens mobilitet kan være mange ting, alt afhængig af hvem du spørger og i hvilken geografi du operer i.For nogle er fremtidens mobilitet muligheden for at anvende digitalisering og den størredatatilgængelighed til at udvikle løsninger, der sikrer sammenhæng mellem transportformer på tværs afland og by. Andre mener at førerløse køretøjer kan sikre mobilitet for alle, optimere kapacitetsudnyttelsenpå vejene og bidrage til udviklingen af en konkurrencedygtig og effektivt kollektiv trafik. Uanset hvad synes fremtidens mobilitet at repræsentere potentialer og udviklingsmuligheder, der kan væremed til at sikre et sammenhængende, effektivt og bæredygtigt transportsystem. Spørgsmålet er barehvordan vi sikrer, at vi forvalter disse potentialer og udviklingstendenser på en hensigtsmæssig måde, såfremtidens mobilitetsløsninger bliver en del af løsningen, og ikke en del af problemet. For at håndtere destore usikkerheder der forbundet med at forstå og realisere fremtidens mobilitet, er der behov for enlangsigtet og holistisk planlægningstilgang, hvor vi tør være ambitiøse og sætte retningen for hvilkenfremtid vi gerne vil have, fremfor hvilken fremtid vi tror vi kan få.

Varietal differences in sweetness value and flesh juiciness among persimmon cultivars
Creators: name: Shiraishi, Mikio
name: Asakuma, Hideaki
Publisher: name: Advances in Horticultural Science
Year: 2020

description: To promote persimmon breeding project, we analyzed the sugar composition (a ratio of sucrose to hexose sugars, SH ratio) and flesh juiciness of 43 persimmon cultivars (Diospyros kaki Thunb.) consisting of 24 pollination-constant non-astringent (PCNA)-types and 19 non-PCNA-types, together with other fruit quality traits. The cultivar collection includes newly-released cultivars after 1990 and commercially-produced local cultivars in Japan. These cultivars were broadly classified into three types: sucrose accumulators, intermediate accumulators, hexose accumulators. Analysis of variance showed that the genotypic effect on the SH ratio and flesh juiciness is high with negligibly small environmental variance, indicating that SH ratio and flesh juiciness can be determined by a one-year trial without tree replication. Highly varietal diversity in the SH ratio and flesh juiciness was observed within and between persimmon cultivar types. Sweetness value (SSC × SH ratio) of the cultivars/selections seems to be a useful predictor of fruit sweetness. In terms of palatability, however, persimmon cultivar’s improvement should be performed on the sweetness value in association with flesh juiciness.

description: It is an established fact that e pervasive climate of hatred is growing in western countries. Especially since “September 11th” such a climate has become a specific connotation of a type of society as well as an element of crisis of liberal democracy. It is also established that both the style of communication and the electoral growth of nationalist populisms have enormously helped to spread the climate of hatred in western countries. At some time, as many observers have pointed out, it is a fact that emotions and feelings, of which hatred is the most relevant expression, are the major agents of such a climate. By referring to this phenomenology, in this article an attept is made to show how the climate of hatred is largely the product of a specific type of political communicative strategy which belongs to organizations professing nationalist sovereignty. The first part will show how a general state of anxiety is produced in a world marked by uncontrolled finalcialization, pervasive neo-liberalist ideology, and acelerating technological change. The second part of this aricle will delve into several stages of the process of transforming anxiety into hatred that nationalist sovereignty groups, in the absence of a solid basis of collective feelings, are able to activate thanks to a politics of emotions.

The Impact of assessment on learner achievement
Creators: name: Zhang, Felicia
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2014
Subjects: Education

description: In an empirical study, Bryant & Zhang (forthcoming) show that the academic performance of a university subject (unit) could be understood through measuring learning results (operationalised from teaching outcomes). The present investigation demonstrates that assessment is important to learning results, because assessment involves selections that may have unintended effects on a unit. Understanding these effects might lead to an improvement in teaching and learning, which might in turn contribute to reshaping higher education. The assessment tasks considered were examination and essay tasks. These two tasks were frequently encountered in the preliminary pilot on feasibility. Also, significant weightings were attached to these tasks. To enable a comparison between different mixtures of assessment tasks, or different levels of weightings for each task, assessment tasks were classified according to their weighting's degree of dominance. This strategy allowed for a clear comparison between different task mixes. Essays were distinguished as generally beneficial to learning results whereas examinations were noted as generally non-beneficial to learning results. In summary, there was support for the thesis that the selection of assessment task and weighting can have an unintended impact on learning result, and a suggestion that superior selections can be made in task and weighting.
Spatial Mobility in Social Theory

Year: 2020

description: While the concept of ‘mobility’ lends itself to a variety of metaphorical meanings, ‘spatial mobility’ is in fact poorly theorized in the history of sociology. Nonetheless, it plays an underrated role in the theories of all the classics of the discipline: Marx and Engels, Weber, Durkheim, Simmel, and the Chicago School. The paper explores the role of ‘spatial mobility’ in these classics and its re-emerging importance in more recent social theory. The influence of geography is highlighted, as John Urry’s ‘mobility turn’ draws on the earlier ‘spatial turn’ of human geographers. After reviewing the controversy about the use of mobility as a conceptual framework for the analysis of migration, the paper calls for stronger attention to the spatial dimension of human life in sociological theory altogether, rather than confining ‘mobility’ to a specific research field and, ultimately, treating it as yet another dependent variable to be accounted for.

description: Artiklen præsenter skøn over konsekvenserne for mobilitet og trafiksikkerhed, hvis aldersgrænsen for knallert 45 og lille motorcykel sænkes med ét år. Først skønnes over antallet af unge, der vil skifte transportmiddel, og dernæst vurderes konsekvenserne for deres mobilitet og risiko i trafikken. Vurderingen af omfanget af skiftet til knallert 45 og lille motorcykel er baseret på de unges rejsemønster, deres holdninger til at skifte samt økonomiske og trafikmæssige forhold. Konsekvenserne for mobilitet og trafiksikkerhed er baseret på rejsehastighederne og risikofaktorerne for transportmidlerne før og efter skiftet. Resultatet præsenteres i form af sparet rejsetid og ændring i antallet af alvorligt tilskadekomne og dræbte. Rejsetid og personskader er værdisat med standardpriser. Analysen tyder på, at en sænkning af aldersgrænsen for knallert 45 og lille motorcykel vil medføre en besparelse i rejsetid men samtidig en stigning i antallet af personskader. Analysen viser endvidere, at omkostningerne ved flere personskader i de fleste tilfælde overstiger besparelsen ved reduceret rejsetid.

La norma e il desiderio. Etica, arte, erotismo e amore nella vita e nell’opera di Max Weber
Creators: name: Cotesta, Vittorio
Publisher: name: SocietàMutamentoPolitica
Year: 2020

description: This article explores the relation between life, illness and work in Max Weber. It highlights the conflicts in Weber’s family, the causes of his nervous illness, the intimate relations with his cousin Emmy Baumgarten, his mother Helene Fallenstein, his wife Marianne Schnitger, his lovers Mina Tobler and Else von Richthofen. The Weberian critique say that the causes of the family conflict are in the oedipal relation between Max Weber and his father. The thesis proposed in this article is that more relevant for the Weber’s crisis is the relation with his mother, the very Super-Ego for Weber. His choice to not marry his cousin Emmy but Marianne Schnitger is the most important rebellion of Weber in his life. And the motherly prohibitions have probably damaged his capacity to sexual capacity. On the contrary, the relations with Mina Tobler and Else von Richthofen open Weber’s life to love, art, and eroticism. This article highlights the great relevance of these personal experiences for the Weber’s works, from the sociology of music, the rationalisation process, the construction of a multidimensional paradigm of society. Aesthetics, art, eroticism, and love becoming society’s spheres just as economics, ethic, politics, religion and are all in a relative tension or conflict each one with other. And Weber use this complex model in his comparative analysis of religions, societies and civilisations.

description: International marketing and global businesses face the challenge of balancing a unified international marketing strategy with the need to tailor their approaches to distinct regional markets. The Consumer Behavior Spectrum Model (CBSM) addresses this problem by offering a comprehensive, adaptable framework suitable for global and tailor-made regional marketing strategies that segment consumer behavior into three core zones: Pure Needs, Combination of Needs and Wants, and Pure Wants. This segmentation enables businesses to create strategies that maintain global brand consistency while simultaneously addressing the cultural, economic, and psychological differences that influence local consumer behavior. By integrating AI-driven tools, CBSM allows businesses to monitor and adapt to real-time market shifts, providing actionable insights for global and regional marketing strategies. This white paper explores how CBSM bridges the gap between traditional models and the complexities of modern consumer behavior, offering a more dynamic and scalable solution for international marketing challenges. The model's adaptability enhances resource allocation, improves marketing efficiency, and strengthens customer engagement in diverse markets.

Die Stadt e la teoria contemporanea della città
Creators: name: Magnier, Annick
Publisher: name: SocietàMutamentoPolitica
Year: 2020

description: Die Stadt is traditionally declared as one of the milestone texts of urban sociology, a pioneering contribution of theory of the city. Urban sociology is recently renewing trough new attempts of theory of the city: proposals of new uses of the notion of right to the city, analyses of globalization and its urban mechanisms; furthermore under explicit reference to the Weberian notion, the role of cities as political actors in the world arena is emphasized. Weber’s essay contains nevertheless many further suggestions for a theoretical and empirical development of the research on the contemporary city. We propose here an impressionist reading of this text, with the mere ambition to gather those themes and methodological indications which, accurately elaborated, could yet enrich urban sociologists practices.
