Universities' Reporting on SDGs: Using THE Impact Rankings to Model and Measure Their Contribution to Sustainability
2021
Higher education institutions (HEIs) have voiced growing concerns about sustainability issues since Agenda 2030 was approved, but this is not enough for societal stakeholders seeking and delivering innovation and excellence. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were adopted by all UN Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action, and pose a challenge for HEIs as for the efforts made to fulfill them and knowing how to assess their performance. However, the metric management system implemented by HEIs quickly led to rankings emerging, which compare HEIs to metrics not related to the sustainability dimensions of the 17 SDGs. The main aim of the paper is to assess the level of repo…
Isolation of cross-coupling products in model studies on the photochemical modification of proteins by tiaprofenic acid
1999
To gain insight into the chemical nature of drug-induced photoallergy, model studies have been carried out on the photochemical modification of proteins by tiaprofenic acid. Irradiation of decarboxylated tiaprofenic acid (DTPA) in the presence of p-cresol leads to C–C- and C–O-connected p-cresol “dimers”, together with DTPA hydrodimers. The p-cresol–DTPA cross-coupling product was not detected in this reaction. However, a product of this type is formed using a more hindered phenol, such as 2,6-di-tert-butylphenol. Similar results are obtained when tiaprofenic acid (TPA) or its methyl ester are used as photosensitizers. The observed formation of “dimers” can be related to protein photo-cross…
A strategy to improve the comprehension and learning in morphological science: Powerpoint presentation
2003
In this paper, a hypertext to the Morphological Sciences in biological area was developed and evaluated. The application with format of digital atlas approaches Anatomical, Histological and Functional concepts about the man and animals in integrated form. PowerPoint presentation was developed to operators which experience in the handling of software are limited. This digital resource was qualified as a good complement of other didactic materials. In this knowledge area offers opportunity to develop significant knowledge to improve the understanding and learning through an interactive methodology.
Thermo‐Hydro‐Mechanical Model and Caprock Deformation Explain the Onset of an Ongoing Seismo‐Volcanic Unrest
2021
Acknowledgments The authors are grateful to the Editor, Prof. Ben‐Zion Yehuda, and the reviewers: Prof. Micol Todesco and an anonymous reviewer, whose comments and recommendations have significantly improved the quality of this work. The authors acknowledge the financial support of the Petroleum Technology Development Fund (PTDF) Nigeria for this research. The comparison of our models with monitoring data was made possible by the outstanding efforts of the staff at the INGV‐Osservatorio Vesuviano, who provide weekly information about geophysical parameters at the Campanian volcanoes (http://www.ov.ingv.it/ov/en/bollettini/272-campi-flegrei-bollettini-settimanali.html).

Literatura y sociedad. Algunos ejemplos de la presencia de Jaime I en la Región de Murcia, a través de diversos contextos escritos. Siglos XIX y XX
2014
Cada lugar se caracteriza por tener su héroe particular. Sería muy difícil encontrar dos héroes compartidos en diferentes espacios físicos, mucho más si estos se encuentran limitando entre sí. En la actualidad podría ser comparable a las rivalidades existentes en ciertas competiciones deportivas, incluso podríamos plantearnos la existencia de ciertos paralelismos entre estos y aquellas situaciones bélicas producidas en siglos anteriores. La Región de Murcia, Andalucía y el País Valencià, compitieron en un particular duelo de protagonismo monárquico, con claros parentescos familiares, durante el siglo XIII. Ante el predominio de uno u otro monarca, y sin contar con su protagonismo destacado …
Implicaciones de la evolución histórica de algunos conceptos en la enseñanza de la Relatividad
2006
La relatividad es una parte importante de la fisica moderna. En este articulo se analiza el debate en torno a la utilizacion de la historia de la ciencia para orientar la didactica de la relatividad en la ensenanza secundaria. Se repasa la evolucion historica de algunos conceptos clave de la relatividad especial y se muestra su implicacion en la ensenanza-aprendizaje.Palabras clave: ensenanza-aprendizaje; relatividad; historia de la ciencia.Implications of the historical evolution of some concepts in the teaching of relativityThe relativity is an important part the modern physics. In this article we analyze the discussion around the use of the history of science to guide the didactics of th…
Comparison of housing first and traditional homeless service users in eight european countries: Protocol for a mixed methods, Multi-site study
2020
Background Homeless services expend considerable resources to provide for service users’ most basic needs, such as food and shelter, but their track record for ending homelessness is disappointing. An alternative model, Housing First, reversed the order of services so that homeless individuals are offered immediate access to independent housing, with wraparound supports but no treatment or abstinence requirements. Although the evidence base for Housing First’s effectiveness in ending homelessness is robust, less is known about its effectiveness in promoting recovery. Objective The objective of this research is to compare rehabilitation- and recovery-related outcomes of homeless services us…
Nanoparticle formulations as recrystallization inhibitors in transdermal patches
2020
Abstract Drug crystallization in transdermal patches is still a major challenge, confronting the formulation development of topical drug delivery systems. Encapsulation of drugs into nanoparticles is proposed here as a promising tool for regulating drug crystallization in transdermal patches. The degree of recrystallization and transdermal permeation of ibuprofen and hydrocortisone loaded in polymeric and lipid nanoparticles from matrix-type transdermal patches were investigated. Ethyl cellulose (EC4), poly (lactide-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) were employed for polymeric nanoparticle preparations; while medium chain triglyceride (MCT) and witepsol were used for the p…
Iedzīvotāju ienākuma nodokļu un valsts sociālā apdrošināšanas obligāto iemaksu piemērošana Latvijā
2018
Šī maģistra darba mērķis ir analizēt iedzīvotāju ienākuma nodokļu un valsts sociālā apdrošināšanas obligāto iemaksu piemērošanu Latvijā un to ietekmi uz valsts budžetu, kā arī sniegt priekšlikumus Latvijas nodokļu sistēmas uzlabošanai. Darba autore izvēlējas šo tēmu, jo uzskata, ka nodokļu politika ir ļoti aktuāls jautājums mūsdienās, kā arī tas ir būtisks instruments, lai palīdzētu valstij attīstīties. Darbā tiek analizēti darbaspēka nodokļi: IIN un VSAOI, kā arī, balstoties uz esošā gada izmaiņām, tiek aprēķināta darba samaksa pirms un pēc nodokļu reformas 2018. Darbā tiek apskatīti dažādi jautājumi saistībā ar šiem nodokļiem: gan nodokļu reforma, gan darbasspēka nodokļu ietekme uz valsts…
Virtual communities, research groups and projects on IMS Learning Design. State of the art, key factors and forthcoming challenges
2005
We carry out a report showing the state of the art about virtual communities, research groups and projects focused on the e-learning specification IMS Learning Design or directly related to it. This specification is currently becoming the most flexible and supported de facto standard for modelling full learning processes, as a complement for any structure of educational contents. Afterwards, as a consequence of the previous study, we develop a reading and a further analysis of the current panorama, and describe the key factors that show the relevance and impact of IMS Learning Design and also the main forthcoming challenges.
