Reflections about the integration of global challenges into higher education future programs: Application in the field of ICT security
2014
The paper deals with focusing on EIE higher education to future European and global challenges. There are available many studies oriented to future challenges, future research methodologies and future intelligence systems, but what is evident, all of them report area of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) as future challenge area. The Millenium project defined 15 Global Challenges assessing the global and local prospects for humanity. The European Commission also defined ICT as challenging area and divided the ICT into eight challenges of strategic interest to European society. All Member States of the EU are responsible for the organization of their education and training syst…

Bidirectional labeling for solving vehicle routing and truck driver scheduling problems
2020
Abstract This paper studies the vehicle routing and truck driver scheduling problem where routes and schedules must comply with hours of service regulations for truck drivers. It presents a backward labeling method for generating feasible schedules and shows how the labels generated with the backward method can be combined with labels generated by a forward labeling method. The bidirectional labeling is embedded into a branch-and-price-and-cut approach and evaluated for hours of service regulations in the United States and the European Union. Computational experiments show that the resulting bidirectional branch-and-price-and-cut approach is significantly faster than unidirectional counterp…
Simultaneous Vehicle and Crew Routing and Scheduling for Partial- and Full-Load Long-Distance Road Transport
2013
AbstractThis paper studies a simultaneous vehicle and crew routing and scheduling problem arising in long-distance road transport in Europe: Pickup-and-delivery requests have to be fulfilled over a multi-period planning horizon by a heterogeneous fleet of trucks and drivers. Typically, in the vehicle routing literature, a fixed assignment of a driver to a truck is assumed. In our approach, we abandon this assumption and allow truck/driver changes at geographically dispersed relay stations. This offers greater planning flexibility and allows a better utilization of trucks, but also creates intricate interdependencies between trucks and drivers and requires the synchronization of their routes…
The role of the economic crisis on the competitiveness of the agri-food sector in the main Mediterranean countries
2014
Th e world economic crisis that, since 2008 has also struck the real economy, cannot be attributed only to the United States bubble which in 2007 involved the mortgage credit market, but it is the result of a series of factors among which the imbalance of the fi nancial market, of the public accounts of the main economies and the real sector. Also agricul- ture, which has always been considered an anti-cyclic sector, has seen a strong slowdown with a plunge in the trade fl ows. Th is paper analyses the changes which happened to the competitive position in the world market of some Mediterranean countries and of France, Italy, Spain and Turkey in particular trying, moreover, to understand the…
Getting Adapted? A Comparative Study of Qualified Turkish Return Migrants from Germany and the USA
2017
When we consider the international migration history of Turkey, we see the key position of the immigration of worker migrants to Germany that has been going on since the 1960s. Due to the waves of migration from Turkey to Europe, and especially to Germany, Turks now form one of the largest minority groups living in Western Europe who have migrated from outside of the European Union (EU) region (Sirkeci 2002: 9). As a consequence, beginning from the first period of migration, Turkish migration to Germany has been a subject that social scientists have intensively analyzed. However, most studies have focused on guest workers and there have been a limited number of studies looking at the case o…
El camino de Turquía hacia la Unión Europea: Aspectos de la reforma del derecho penal turco como requisito para su incorporación a la UE.
2011
RESUMEN Debido a la pretensión de Turquía por incorporarse a la Unión Europea es imperativo que verifique un cumplimiento efectivo las condiciones que establece la misma al respecto en los llamados Criterios de Copenhague. En lo que a la protección de los derechos humanos se refiere, la modificación del Derecho Penal turco deviene una de las tareas clave debido a que la protección de los bienes jurídicos fundamentales, cometido de tal disciplina, está intrínsecamente ligada con el amparo de los derechos humanos. Por ello se ha realizado un estudio de los principios generales del Derecho Penal en el sistema turco, por ser la base de tal Derecho y los límites de la potestad sancionadora del E…
La competenza materiale della Procura europea: un diritto penale europeo a geometria variabile?
2022
Il contributo delinea i caratteri principali e i significati ritenuti più rilevanti rispetto alla evoluzione del diritto penale europeo che si collegano alla svolta rappresentata dall’introduzione di un ufficio investigativo unitario dell’Unione europea. In particolare si mette a fuoco la materia attribuita alla competenza del nuovo ufficio investigativo europeo, che ruota intorno alla tutela degli interessi finanzairi della Unione Europea. Si segnala quindi che anche la possibile apertura a nuovi spazi di azione per il nuovo organo europea, pure prefigurata dal Trattato UE (art.86) non copra l’intero arco dei diritti della persona rilevanti nella Carta dei diritti fondamentali UE. Al conte…
Typology of think tanks: A comparative study in Finland and Scotland
2021
This paper provides a comparative analysis of current Finnish and Scottish think tanks and reviews how think tanks in these countries have evolved, how think tanks seek to influence decision making and engage with their stakeholders. To address the ways of influence this paper looks how Finnish and Scottish think tanks describe themselves and how they use publications in their advocacy. Conducted content analysis indicates that usually registered association based Finnish think tanks are generally more research-focused organisations, who overall deploy more research publications for advocacy than the company based Scottish think tanks. Findings also reveal that the number of think tanks in …
