Scientific response to the 2021 eruption of Nyiragongo based on the implementation of a participatory monitoring system

2022

AbstractThe development of a resilient society is a major challenge for growing human population faced with abundant natural hazards. During and after the May 22, 2021 eruption of Nyiragongo, the local population was surprised and scared by the subsequent seismicity and associated surface fracturing, coupled with the alert of a possible new eruptive vent opening in Goma (Democratic Republic of Congo) and/or Gisenyi (Rwanda). The creation of a toll-free phone number enabled the population to record fractures and gas/thermal anomalies affecting the area. Such work was fundamental in enabling scientists and authorities to assess the associated risks. Crucially, gas data showed that the degassi…

Education and the Demand for Emancipation

2014

This paper puts forward the hypothesis that in recent decades, pupils of schools in the western world have been given a new form of individuality. This construction has been nourished by both the demand for emancipation as it was expressed in the critical sociology of education (and pedagogy) and by the neoliberal turn in education policy. It unfolds consequences of such an alliance between romantic and neoliberal individualism, and argues that some of Simmel's concepts might fruitfully be engaged to grasp important aspects of today's educational culture. Against this backdrop, the paper discusses the construction of the new individuality in regard to educational changes in control and disc…

How do organizational processes recover following a disaster? - A capital resiliency model for disaster preparedness -

2016

This paper explores how organizational processes are recreated following their destruction in unexpected disasters. It applies the notion of an organization as a capital conversion and capital creation system. It also focuses on systems resilience, the measure of a system's persistence and ability to absorb disturbances while reconstructing relationships between system entities. Based on the analysis of empirical evidence collected from the Great East Japan Earthquake disaster in 2011, we propose a resiliency model incorporating a broader interpretation of the notion of capital. The model consists of five dimensions of capital: economic, social, symbolic, human, and organizational. Once a g…

Aptiekas klientu un farmaceitu viedoklis par dekspantenolu saturošu ziežu un krēmu lietošanu

2018

Aptuveni 15% no visiem ģimenes ārstu apmeklējumiem ir saistīti ar sausas ādas problēmām; īpaši ziemas periodā šī problēma saasinās arī Latvijā. Dažiem cilvēkiem sausa āda rada maz izteiktus traucējumus, citiem tā var kļūt par hronisku problēmu, ādas sausuma izraisīta nieze var būtiski pasliktināt pacienta dzīves kvalitāti. Bakalaura darba mērķis: izpētīt dekspentanolu saturošu ziežu un krēmu lietošanas nozīmi ādas veselības uzlabošanā un ādas bojājumu mazināšanā. Bakalaura darba uzdevumi: Apskatīt teorētiskās atziņas par ādu, ādas veselību ietekmējošiem faktoriem un tās bojājumiem, emolientu nozīmi ādas veselības uzlabošanā, dekspentanolu saturošiem krēmiem un ziedēm kā emolientu veidu, kā…

First record of the alien leech Myzobdella lugubris Leidy, 1851 (Hirudinea, Piscicolidae) in the Palearctic

2018

espanolEn este estudio reportamos la aparicion de la sanguijuela Neartica Myzobdella lugubris en un cuerpo de agua salobre de la reserva natural Riserva Naturale dello Stato “Le Cesine” (Apulia, Italy). Dos especimenes de la especie fueren recolectados en el cuello y las extremidades anteriores de una tortuga de estanque europea Emys orbicularis hellenica en Octubre del 2016. La identificacion de los dos especimenes fue basada en datos morfologicos y de secuenciacion molecular. En su distribucion natural, M. lugubris es conocida por ser huesped y vector de bacterias y virus, de los cuales algunos son patogenos de gravedad en peces. En vista de los posibles efectos nocivos, que ejercen sobre…

Effects of COVID19 pandemic on the Italian power system and possible countermeasures

2021

Abstract The paper analyses the dramatic effects of the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Italian power system, considering the impacts on load and generation, market issues and ancillary services provision. During the period between March and May 2020, the Italian scenario was considered as exemplary due to the large reduction of loads and thermal generation caused by the hard lockdown across the Country. Italy has experienced the most severe effects of pandemic in terms of increase of death rates and of pressure on the health system as well as severity of the countermeasures. As a domino effect, the total lockdown of one of the most industrialized countries in the world has creat…

Farm Cultural Park : An Experience of Social Innovation in the Recovery of the Historical Centre of Favara

2017

In 2010 some people from Favara decided to initiate a process of recovery and re-appropriation of the abandoned historical centre, by establishing Farm Cultural Park, a private cultural institution. This paper aims to describe the process of sustainable design, social innovation and inclusion, triggered by the Farm Cultural Park in the historical centre of Favara which, by showing its resilience, has redefined its identity, progressing from a place of widespread, unauthorised development to a dynamic creative city.

Applying complexity science to air traffic management

2015

Versión aceptada obtenida del archivo digital en línea WestminsterResearch de la Universidad de Westminster. Complexity science is the multidisciplinary study of complex systems. Its marked network orientation lends itself well to transport contexts. Key features of complexity science are introduced and defined, with a specific focus on the application to air traffic management. An overview of complex network theory is presented, with examples of its corresponding metrics and multiple scales. Complexity science is starting to make important contributions to performance assessment and system design: selected, applied air traffic management case studies are explored. The important contexts of…

THE CREATIVITY AND RESILIENCE DEVELOPMENT PROJECT (CRDP) TO INVESTIGATE LEARNING PRACTICE IN THE USE OF ICT

2016

Much research has demonstrated that students' cognitive characteristics as general mental ability or prior level of achievement do explain a substantial proportion of the variance in subsequent achievement, but only more recently has research focused on relationships between cognitive characteristics of students and the process variables of classroom behaviour. In conceptualizations of teaching-learning situations, cognitive characteristics of students are seen as one cluster of determinants of the interactive and learning processes established in the classroom. The researchers suggest that flexibility is central to creative adaptation. The centrality of flexibility to creative adaptation a…
