Evaluating the Effects of Sediment Transport on Pipe Flow Resistance

2021

In this paper, the applicability of a theoretical flow resistance law to sediment-laden flow in pipes is tested. At first, the incomplete self-similarity (ISS) theory is applied to deduce the velocity profile and the corresponding flow resistance law. Then the available database of measurements carried out by clear water and sediment-laden flows with sediments having a quasi-uniform sediment size and three different values of the mean particle diameter Dm (0.88 mm, 0.41 mm and 0.30 mm) are used to calibrate the Γ parameter of the power-velocity profile. The fitting of the measured local velocity to the power distribution demonstrates that (i) for clear flow the exponent δ can be estimated b…

Exploring Neighborhood Influences on Small-Area Variations in Intimate Partner Violence Risk: A Bayesian Random-Effects Modeling Approach

2014

This paper uses spatial data of cases of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) to examine neighborhood-level influences on small-area variations in IPVAW risk in a police district of the city of Valencia (Spain). To analyze area variations in IPVAW risk and its association with neighborhood-level explanatory variables we use a Bayesian spatial random-effects modeling approach, as well as disease mapping methods to represent risk probabilities in each area. Analyses show that IPVAW cases are more likely in areas of high immigrant concentration, high public disorder and crime, and high physical disorder. Results also show a spatial component indicating remaining variability attribut…

Domestic Violence Interventions in Social and Health Care Settings: Challenges of Temporary Projects and Short-Term Solutions.

2020

Social welfare service and health care providers are in a key position to implement successful domestic violence (DV) interventions. However, it is known that DV intervention and prevention work is often lacking in coordination and continuity. In addition, the limited resources, hectic work pace, and changing practices negatively affect the development of successful ways to prevent and intervene in DV. This qualitative study involving 11 focus groups, composed of social welfare and health care professionals ( n = 51) in a midsized Finnish hospital, examined the challenges and possibilities within DV interventions and the adoption of good practices produced by a DV intervention development …

Bērnības vardarbības ģimenē psiholoģiskā un psihiatriskā ietekme uz jauniešiem, kuri mācās universitātes līmenī

2022

Nosaukums: Bērnības vardarbības ģimenē psiholoģiskā un psihiatriskā ietekme uz jauniešiem, kuri mācās universitātes līmenī Authore: Katharina Franziska Melz, BA Darba vadītāja: Andis Užāns, MD Priekšvēsture: Vardarbība ģimenē jau sen ir atzīta par kaitīgu gan bērniem, gan pieaugušajiem. Daudzas valstis ir ieviesušas aizsardzības pasākumus, piemēram, nodrošinājušas audžuģimenes bērniem, kurus skārusi vardarbība ģimenē. Taču, tā kā vardarbība ģimenē parasti notiek tikai “aiz slēgtām durvīm”, ir jāpieņem, ka tā ir daudz izplatītāka, nekā liecina valsts statistika. Turklāt vardarbības ģimenē definīcija atšķiras, un to bieži uzskata par neērtu vai nepiemērotu diskusijai. Abi šie faktori apgrūtin…

Is Participation in Tourism Market an Opportunity for Everyone? Some Evidence from Italy

2014

Exploring the main determinants of tourism participation at national and international level, the paper investigates if there are differences in tourism consumption behavior among Italian families which reflect disparities in their standard of living. To achieve this a Heckman model has been used on a huge sample of Italian households over the period 1997-2007. Results show that participation in the tourism market is strongly affected by the personal characteristics of individuals and that tourism consumption is an income sensitive good. The analysis reveals that tourism is generally a luxury good reflecting the disparities in the standard of living among Italian families. We have found tha…

Home energy management system : a home energy management system under different electricity pricing mechanisms

2014

Masteroppgave i fornybar energi ENE 500 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Peak demand is a severe problem in the electricity grid and it was solved by supply side management in the past. But nowadays the demand side management sources have drawn attention due to the economic and environmental constraints. Demand side management in the domestic sector can play an important role in reducing the peak demand on the power system network. It can help in reducing stress and overloading on the transmission and distribution lines. In many countries there are various demand response programs implemented for industrial and commercial loads. In these programs load control is primarily achieved by various type…

Esto es trabajo de mujeres: dos generaciones en el sector doméstico

2016

El trabajo femenino en el sector doméstico ha estado invisibilizado y menospreciado durante siglos. Este artículo es el resultado de una investigación realizada con mujeres de nacionalidad española de dos generaciones que han trabajado en el sector doméstico. Se ha realizado con el fin de comprender y analizar las diferencias en este trabajo a lo largo de más de 50 años. Se trata de una investigación cualitativa que ha puesto de manifiesto que lejos de tratarse de un trabajo minoritario, muchas mujeres lo han estado realizando, y todavía lo realizan. Suponiendo, al contrario de lo que se piensa, un pilar fundamental en la economía de muchas familias, pero que se ha visto relegado al ámbito …
