Advanced refrigerating plants based on transcritical cycles working with carbon dioxide for commercial refrigeration
2012
Supermarkets and hypermarkets require a huge amount of energy to maintain chilled and frozen food in product display cases and cold storage rooms and thermal comfort in the whole building. Systems exploited require very large refrigerant charges for operation and suffer significant leakages. The challenge for advanced systems, based on equipment which reduce TEWI, suggests the proposal of carbon dioxide: a natural working fluid. This paper deals with a feasibility study of a refrigerating system for a big hypermarket in Sicily based on a three-stage transcritical cycle working with carbon dioxide which is compared with an alternative system composed of two cycles operating as a binary refri…
Relationship between employee involvement and lean manufacturing and its effect on performance in a rigid continuous process industry
2015
Relationship between employee involvement and lean manufacturing and its effect on performance in a rigid continuous process industry DOI: 10.1080/00207543.2014.975852 Juan A. Marin-Garciaa* & Tomas Bonaviab Received: 1 Aug 2013 Accepted: 30 Sep 2014 Published online: 04 Nov 2014 This research aims to empirically test the effect of employee involvement on lean manufacturing (LM), and the effect of LM on production outcomes. Employee involvement is operationalised through four related variables: empowerment, training, contingent remuneration and communication. The effects are tested by recording management perceptions in a different industrial sector from those usually studied in previous re…
Application of remote experiments in a secondary school using MOOC approach
2017
This paper presents first attempt to incorporate remote and virtual experiments in MOOC environment for the secondary school instruction. In case study the VISIR+ remote experiment of the WebLab-Deusto was used. The basic topic of physics “Resistors in series” was suggested for the mentioned above experiment. The open edX platform was employed to build the MOOC for the school lesson — we named it ‘micro-MOOC’. The results could be helpful for secondary school sector representatives, education instructors, parents and policy makers to respond to current and future education needs.
Angļu valodas mācīšanās motivāciju ietekmējošie faktori vidējās izglītības iestādē, 5 un 9. klašu skolēniem
2019
Šī darba mērķis ir pētīt skolēnu motivāciju, mācoties angļu valodu, un noteikt faktorus, kas vidusskolas skolēnus motivē mācīties angļu valodu. Darbā tiek pētīts, cik lielā mērā angļu valodas mācīšanās motivāciju ietekmē tādi faktori kā dzimums, valodas mācību ilgums kā arī zināšanu līmenis. Teorētiskajā daļā apskatītas galvenās motivācijas teorijas, kuru izpratne ir nepieciešama, lai saprastu galvenos motivācijas konceptus otrās valodas apguvē. Balstoties uz informāciju, kas iegūta aptaujājot vidusskolas skolēnus, praktiskajā daļā izskaidroti un interpretēti faktori, kuri visvairāk ietekmē skolēnu motivāciju mācīties angļu valodu.

Mean flow, secondary currents and bed shear stress at a 180-degree laboratory bend with and without enhanced permeable groins as an Eco-friendly rive…
2022
River restoration aims to apply environmentally-friendly structures for bank protection in meandering rivers to restore their natural habitat. Enhanced Permeable Groin (EPG) is a novel river restoration technique that can improve the fish habitat environment in a river system by creating a series of eco-friendly scour pools. This study reports the results of two groups of 3D velocity measurements in a 180-degree channel bend in cases with and without an EPG for clear water conditions to characterize the mechanisms leading to the primary stages of the scouring phenomenon. The analysis revealed that the presence of an EPG amplified the velocity magnitude in the regions near the tip of the van…
La "atención a la diversidad" como oportunidad. La perspectiva del proyecto Gea-Clío.
2019
En 1989 se conformó en Valencia (España) el grupo de innovación e investigación pedagógica Gea-Clío, centrado en torno a la didáctica de la geografía y la historia desde una perspectiva progresista y crítica. Un año después (en 1990) se inició en España una reforma educativa de gran calado que extendió la obligatoriedad de la escolarización hasta los 16 años. La implementación de dicha reforma conllevó la aparición de serios problemas en el sistema educativo español. Se analiza la génesis de dichos problemas, las soluciones conservadoras aplicadas durante los últimos años y sus efectos. A continuación se exponen los enfoques y las propuestas dadas a esos nuevos retos desde el grupo Gea-Clío…
Balancing ‘flexibility’ and ‘employability’: The changing role of general studies in the Finnish and Swedish VET curricula of the 1990s and 2010s
2019
This article analyses and compares the evolving role of general subjects in the curricula of initial upper secondary vocational education and training (VET) in Finland and Sweden during the 1990s and 2010s. The research illustrates how Bernstein’s concept of ‘pedagogic code’ supports comparative studies on principles guiding changes to curricula and how the role of general studies in VET has been redefined. The findings show that while a principle of ‘market relevance’ has been central to VET over the decades since the 1990s, it has been subject to varying interpretations. The shifts in interpretations have guided the organisation of VET in these two countries in different directions, incl…
Les défis de l'orientation dans le monde (Dossier)
2005
05013; L'ensemble des textes traite des résultats de l'orientation en se fondant sur les notions communes d'efficacité et d'équité. Les textes font apparaître les outils de l'orientation. Ils sont regroupés en trois ensembles et l'objet traité dans chaque ensemble est particulier : l'orientation au collège pour le premier, l'admission et l'orientation dans l'enseignement supérieur pour le second, les politiques d'orientation pour le troisième. Chaque ensemble est en outre organisé de telle sorte que la diversité économique, politique et scolaire initiale soit peut ou prou respectée au sein de chacun d'eux.
El problema de la generación de residuos urbanos entre los contenidos de geografía de la enseñanza secundaria obligatoria
2002
Una de las características del problema de los Residuos Urbanos en nuestro país es la escasa conciencia ambiental de los ciudadanos. En este trabajo se exponen las grandes posibilidades que ofrece el currículo del Área de “Ciencias Sociales, Geografía e Historia” de la Enseñanza Secundaria Obligatoria (E.S.O.) para llevar a cabo acciones de Educación Ambiental, destacando así la capacidad de los profesores de Geografía para intentar mejorar la situación actual. Solid wastes generation problem into Secondary School Geography´s contents Citizenship’s low environmental conscience is a characteristic of Solid Wastes situation in Spain. In this paper, “Social Sciences, Geography and History” cur…
