L'intégration sociale étudiante : relations et effets au sein des parcours de réussite en Licence
2017
Since 1970’s and 1980’s, educational research reveals the importance of interactional process in the explanation of student careers, especially with Tinto’s work (1975), by demonstrating the significant influence of social integration on student persistence in university. However, the effects on students’ academic success are rarely explored. Moreover, there is no consensus on the conceptualization of this explanatory factor since it shows different dimensions of social integration. From data collected from 1365 students enrolled in 1st, 2nd and 3rd grade of common “Licence”, this research proposes firstly to improve measurement of student social integration as a multidimensional concept. T…
Construint la integració des de les polítiques públiques i la participació ciutadana: l'experiència de Gandia en el periode 2005-2011
2014
La instal·lació de la immigració en el nostre territori, i el consegüent increment de la multiculturalitat, ha dut al primer pla de la gestió pública el repte de construir la integració. En el País Valencià, alguns municipis s´han vist radicalment transformats com a conseqüència d´aquesta realitat. És el cas de Gandia, un municipi amb un 24% de població estrangera que va desenvolupar, entre els anys 2005 i 2011, tot un conjunt de polítiques adreçades a promoure la integració i la interculturalitat. L´associacionisme immigrant ha jugat també un paper important en la configuració de la Gandia diversa. La política i la participació ciutadana emergeixen, així, com a actors fonamentals en el pro…
Inmigración, servicios públicos e integración social
2007
La configuración de nuestras sociedades como espacios de multiculturalidad ha motivado que la integración de la diversidad se convierta en uno de los mayores retos que afrontamos en la actualidad. La inclusión social de las personas inmigrantes en las sociedades de recepción se ve obstaculizada por las dificultades existentes en lo que refiere al reconocimiento de los derechos sociales. Con este artículo tratamos de hacer una aproximación a las condiciones en las que se produce el acceso de las personas inmigrantes a los recursos públicos, con especial atención a los servicios sanitarios.
An Exploratory Spatial Data Analysis of European Regional Disparities, 1980–1995
2003
European integration has stimulated numerous studies of regional economic convergence within the European Union in recent macroeconomic and regional science literature (e.g. Abraham and Von Rompuy 1995; Armstrong 1995a; Neven and Gouyette 1995; Martin 2001). Most of the time, the empirical methods that have been used are identical to the methods employed in international studies. However, spatial effects, particularly spatial autocorrelation and spatial heterogeneity, must be taken into account when analyzing the convergence process at regional scale. There are number of factors — trade between regions, technology, knowledge diffusion and more generally regional spillovers — that lead to ge…
Contingency factors on the success of services for social integration and job placement schemes
2009
The success of a strategy depends, to a large extent, on the contingency factors that condition the functioning of an organisation. This study presents empirical research to contrast the existence of a significant relationship between the implementation of a particular strategy (in this case, related to the management of job placement and social insertion schemes) and a set of given structural parameters or contingency factors, in particular, the organisational structure of the firm such as time with the firm, firm size, technology used and organisational culture. The empirical analysis is applied to the strategies used by local development and employment officers with regard to the managem…
Les mouvements de capitaux en union économique et monétaire : approches historiques et théoriques
2019
The liberalization of international capital flows seems linked to the increase and worsening of financial crisis. Since the financial crisis in 2007-2008, the ideological dimension of “happy globalization” has brought to light and given new strength to dissentient voices that could not be heard before. This thesis tries to evaluate the importance of capital flows on the stability of à financial system. Its purpose is to compare different financial systems and levels of financial liberalization, using the Economic and Monetary Union as an example because it combined full liberalization of the capital market within the zone a well as in relations with the outside. We have considered the need …
Mixed heuristic-non linear optimization of energy management for hydrogen storage-based multi carrier hubs
2014
In this paper, an heuristic and non-linear programming based algorithm to optimally operate an energy hub plant is proposed. The energy hub plant described in this work is the test system for the European INGRID research project. The Energy Management System defines the optimal energy flows dispatch in order to obtain the energy balance and the maximum profit for the owner of the plant. The problem is highly constrained and non-linear, for this reason the methodology cannot rely on Linear Programming (LP) methods. The Energy Management System manages two energy carriers, electricity and hydrogen, interfacing three distribution networks: the electricity, the hydrogen and the methane networks…
Comparative study of the effectiveness of educational policies of inclusion in France and sub-Saharan Africa: a literature review
2013
Recommended by international bodies (UNESCO, 2006; 2008), inclusive education is based on the principle of equal opportunity. It aims to promote inclusion in the broad sense of the term by addressing specific audiences excluded or marginalized from educational systems. In recent years, regulatory frameworks have been defined for the education of certain categories excluded from educational systems including children with disabilities. Educational policies concerned with taking into account the needs of this group are also implemented. Do these policies promote effective integration of students with disabilities? To what extent can these policies be considered as effective? This paper presen…
Enterprise 2.0 and 3.0 in Education
2012
The aim of the following chapter is to analyze students’ view on Enterprise 2.0 and 3.0 of Web technologies in engineering and business education. The meaning of the key concepts of Enterprise 2.0and 3.0 and needs analysis is studied. Moreover, the study demonstrates how the key concepts are related to the idea of education. Finally, the study presents how the steps of the process are related: Enterprise 2.0 and 3.0 ? Enterprise 2.0 and 3.0 in engineering and business education ? empirical study. The following hypothesis for further studies is put forth: in order to develop the students’ view on Enterprise 2.0 and 3.0 in education, it is necessary to promote students’ use of Enterprise 2.0 …
A Multifunctional Public Lighting Infrastructure, Design and Experimental Test
2017
Nowadays, the installation of efficient lighting sources and Information and Communications Technologies can provide economic benefits, energy efficiency, and visual comfort requirements. More advantages can be derived if the public lighting infrastructure integrates a smart grid. This study presents an experimental multifunctional infrastructure for public lighting, installed in Palermo. The system is able to provide smart lighting functions (hotspot Wi-Fi, video-surveillances, car and pedestrian access control, car parking monitoring and support for environmental monitoring). A remote control and monitoring platform called “Centro Servizi” processes the information coming from…
