Integration Issues of Distributed Generators Considering Faults in Electrical Distribution Networks

2014

In the recent years there is a great interest in integration of distributed generation (DG) units at distribution level; this integration leads to planning as well as operational challenges. Some possibilities to handle grid planning issues are addressed in this paper. Effects on grid protection, fault current level, and voltage profile are investigated and described for different types of DG units; the classification of DG units is based on their terminal characteristics in terms of real and reactive power delivering capability. Different scenarios for mis-coordination problems caused by DG interconnection are discussed. The effect of the DG on the voltage profile of a distribution network…

“Te das cuenta de que el mundo puede ser tan distinto y similar al mismo tiempo”: Telecolaboración y desarrollo de la competencia intercultural en la…

2016

Este artículo versa sobre la integración de la telecolaboración, o intercambio intercultural en línea, en contextos de educación superior, para el desarrollo de la competencia intercultural en el aula inglés como lengua extranjera. Se analiza, desde la perspectiva de los estudiantes, un intercambio de telecolaboración en que participantes de España y de Estados Unidos colaboraron en grupos interculturales y plurinacionales para llevar a cabo una serie de tareas cuya complejidad cognitiva iba progresivamente en aumento: creación de un perfil digital, grabación de un vídeo de presentación, interacción multimodal (texto, audio, videoconferencia) para discutir y debatir los diferentes temas pro…

Gender discrimination and intergenerational transmission of preferences

2004

This paper provides an explanation for the existence of gender discrimination in the labour market focusing on the intergenerational transmission of preferences related to the attitude of women towards jobs and family. Changes in women's preferences over generations depend on the socialization efforts of their parents which in turn are influenced by both the firm's expected recruitment policy and the expected utility from household care. We obtain two types of steady state equilibria: the discriminatory equilibrium, in which women are segregated to low-paid jobs, and the non-discriminatory equilibrium, in which women are hired in highly-paid jobs. The conditions of convergence to each equil…

Persistence of Occupational Segregation: The Role of the Intergenerational Transmission of Preferences

2007

This article provides an explanation of the evolution and persistence of the women's segregation in jobs with less on-the-job training opportunities within the framework of an overlapping generations model with intergenerational transmission of preferences. ‘Job-priority’ and ‘family-priority’ preferences are considered. Firms’ policy and the distribution of women's preferences are endogenously and simultaneously determined in the long run. The results show though the gender gap in training will diminish, it will also persist over time. This is because both types of women's preferences coexist at the steady state due to the socialisation effort of parents to preserve their own cultural valu…

Il divieto di lavoro forzato nel diritto internazionale

2019

L'articolo affronta il tema della responsabilità internazionale dello Stato per il lavoro forzato esterto da privati. La domanda centrale che si pone è a quando gli Stati parti di trattati che vietano il lavoro forzato possono essere considerati responsabili, oltre che nei casi in cui ricorrano direttamente al lavoro forzato, anche in relazione a situazioni in cui a farlo siano privati operanti sul loro territorio o in luoghi sottoposti alla loro giurisdizione.

Mobilités internationales des diplômés de l'enseignement supérieur français en phase d'insertion professionnelle : effets sur leurs débuts de carrièr…

2008

International mobility by French higher education graduates on entering the labour market: is it worth it once they return home?The construction of European graduate labour market, through increased international graduate mobility, cannot take place without it appearing beneficial forgraduates. Indeed, all types of mobility have a cost, even if the latter is not always financial (leaving family, adapting to a new environment, etc.). Moreover, we can wonder whether graduates employment prospects actually improve thanks to international mobility. Using the Céreq « Génération 98 » survey, our first results show that international mobility on entering the labour market appears to be rare. Final…

Two worlds of change: on the internationalisation of universities

2010

Institutional change entails balancing multiple competing, inconsistent and often loosely coupled demands and concerns, often simultaneously. This article poses the following question: How are patterns of internationalisation of research among academic staff at universities balancing two worlds of change, that is, governance by the university leadership (H1) as well as initiatives by the faculty members (H2)? This article argues and empirically substantiates that internationalisation of academic staff tends to be a balancing‐act between these two worlds of change. Whereas most universities increasingly formulate strategies for internationalisation (H1), the research behaviour of faculty mem…

Étude de la collaboration interprofessionnelle dans le secteur hospitalier français : le rôle des facteurs organisationnels

2022

In a troubled hospital context subject to many changes and constraints, inter-professional collaboration is a major asset in terms of adaptation, quality of care and managerial innovation. However, its levers remain to be specified and its implementation is complex. A review of the literature and an empirical survey lay the foundation for our research work, which has various objectives. First of all, it seeks to clarify the place of interprofessional collaboration in the hospital sector. Then he seeks to understand the influence of organizational factors on emerging states of collaboration. Finally, it examines how health managers can rely on organizational factors to enable the emergence o…
