Structural and electrochemical investigation on re-cast Nafion membranes for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) application

2006

Abstract Starting from a 5 wt% ion power Nafion® solution and dissolving the dry residue in a suitable solvent (10 wt% solution in dimethylacetammide), re-cast Nafion films were developed for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEFCs) application. The used Doctor-Blade casting technique allowed to prepare scaled-up membranes comparable to the commercial Nafion ones with good mechanical resistance, thickness homogeneity and an excellent reproducibility. The differences between the re-cast membrane nanostructure and that of the commercial Nafion were investigated by synchrotron small-angle X-ray scattering. The obtained re-cast membrane shows at ambient conditions a semi-crystalline structure wit…

Centralització i descentralizació del Grau de Doctor (1845-1954)

2001

La reforma liberal fijó y definió las competencias de los grados universitarios. La licenciatura, a imitación del modelo francés, facultaba para el ejercicio profesional y el doctorado preparaba profesores para la enseñanza superior. Los estudios de doctorado consistían en cursar unas materias de ampliación y preparar un discurso. A su vez, este grado quedó centralizado en la Universidad Complutense y gestionado por los catedráticos de doctorado. Con las reformas regeneracionistas de 1900, que pretendían promover la investigación en España y en la universidad, se sustituyó el discurso por un trabajo de investigación práctica o sobre un tema doctrinal que formase al alumno como investigador.…

“Arete-school” final report

2020

This report contains information regarding the postdoctoral project “Modernization of school education in Latvia through an innovative research-based program on 21st century competences and virtue ethics development supported by a virtual campus (ARETE-school)” (Project contract number: 1.1.1.2/ VIAA /1/16/071). The project was implemented between November 2017 and October 2020, and had a total cost of EUR 133.806 The output indicators of the project were largely reached: a new and sustainable post-doctoral position was created, 9 scientific articles and 3 research reports were published in indexed journals, a new technology, which could be commercialised, has been elaborated (the online pl…

Quality assurance of decision-making in conversations between professionals and non-professionals: identifying the presence of deliberative principles

2012

The ideal of dialogue is at stake in professional conversations. The aim of this study is to develop an instrument that makes it possible to compare principles of deliberation with what actually takes place in professional conversations. The developed instrument is tested on one patient's conversation with his doctor about lifestyle changes, and meetings where pupils with learning disabilities and their parents discuss further schooling with school representatives. Although in need of refinement, the conclusion is that the instrument provides meaningful insight into how much each participant 'contributes' to the decision-making process and 'behaves' during the conversation.

Doctoral education reform in Finland : institutionalized and individualized doctoral studies within European framework

2017

In Europe, doctoral education systems have been systematically reformed. These reforms are aimed at improving the quality of research and the competitiveness of European countries. In Finland, the reform project of doctoral education started vigorously in the mid-1990s which has contributed significantly to the emergence of more structured doctoral training. The starting point for this article was a recent national follow-up evaluation of doctoral education in Finland. The results are based on qualitative analysis of a survey and interview data collected in the evaluation. The results showed that Finnish universities are launching the university-wide graduate school model. Each university i…

Narrative Medicine to integrate patients’, caregivers’ and clinicians’ migraine experiences: the DRONE multicentre project

2021

Abstract Background Although migraine is widespread and disabling, stigmatisation and poor awareness of the condition still represent barriers to effective care; furthermore, research on migraine individual and social impact must be enhanced to unveil neglected issues, such as caregiving burden. The project investigated the migraine illness experience through Narrative Medicine (NM) to understand daily life, needs and personal resources of migraneurs, their caregivers and clinicians, and to provide insights for clinical practice. Methods The project involved 13 Italian headache centres and targeted migraneurs, their caregivers and migraine specialists at these centres. Written narratives, c…
