Elaboration et caractérisation mécanique et physico-chimique des revêtements déposés sur des substrats en laiton par les techniques de projection the…
2019
Brass alloys are used in many applications, especially in the sanitary industrial application. In this field, the brass is coated with an electroplated chromium layer. However, the electroplating technique is achieved by means of solutions in which the chromium is in the six oxidation state. At this degree of oxidation, chromium is toxic and has the reputation of being carcinogenic. In this context, the main objective of this work is to develop functional coatings on brass substrates using new techniques namely thermal and pneumatic spraying techniques. The mechanical and physical-chemical properties are studied in order to evaluate the performances of these coatings and the potency of thei…
Manufacturing and characterization of Al matrix composites with nano reinforcements via cold spraying
2019
This study aims at developing new routes for manufacturing Al matrix composites (AMCs) strengthened with nano reinforcements by solid-state cold spraying (CS) process. Three different AMCs including CNTs/Al, TiB2/AlSi10Mg and TiB2/7075Al were successfully fabricated by CS of the composite powders prepared using different approaches. The microstructure evolution of as-sprayed composite samples was investigated by means of different characterization methods like X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and electron backscatter diffraction (SEM/EBSD). The adhesion strength, tribological behaviour, corrosion properties as well as the mechanical performa…
Strategizing innovative and sustainable projects: the role of accounting practices
2023
This paper aims to explore how accounting is implicated in strategizing innovative and sustainable projects which imply spatial reconfigurations. By combining organization and accounting studies on the interconnections between space, accounting, and strategizing, as well as drawing upon Lefebvre’s (1991) conception of space, we interpret the case of a knowledgeintensive organization. Our insights show that managers strategize spatial projects imbued with strategy ideas of open and social innovation for sustainability through three main accounting practices (i.e. “trusting numbers to objectify space”, “narrating numbers to remember the spark”, and “visualizing numbers to bridge to the future…
Quick Affective Judgments: Validation of a Method for Primed Product Comparisons
2015
A method for primed product comparisons was developed, based on the methodological considerations of emotional appraisal process and affective mental contents. The method was implemented as a computer tool, which was utilised in two experiments (N = 18 for both). Ten adjectives served as primes, and five drinking glass pictures as stimuli. Participants' task was to choose a preference between two glasses, given the priming adjective. The results validate the method by providing test-retest reliability measures and showing convergence with questionnaires. Further, different evaluation times between the primes and the stimuli reveal the existence of different mental processes associated with …
What makes the difference : PIAAC as a resource for understanding the problem-solving skills of Europe's higher-education adults
2019
The ever-evolving technological landscape is challenging adults' problem-solving skills. The central goal of higher education (HE) is to guarantee a high level of know-how, which is in line with the changing demands of technology at work and in everyday life. This study builds on European data from the Programme for the International Assessment of Adult Competencies (PIAAC) to understand adults' (N = 53,407) skills for solving problems in technology-rich environments. The study provides insight into the socio-demographic, work-related, and everyday factors that are associated with a strong and a weak problem-solving performance. The results indicate that HE adults stand out from adults with…
The influence of project-based Learning on nursing students' core competencies : a case study in China
2017
Gong, Ran. 2017. The Influence of Project-based Learning on Nursing Students’ Core Competencies: A case study in China. Master's Thesis in Education. University of Jyväskylä. Department of Education. Vocational education provides students practical skills which will be beneficial for their future career. Project-based learning (PBL), as an instructional approach,was introduced into China’s vocational education in 2000. Seven core competencies were defined in Competency Inventory for Registered Nurse (CIRN) and are applied to monitor the standard of nurses. This study aims to reveal how PBL influences nursing students’ core competencies and to discuss the implementation and future improvemen…
Neurobiological Models of the Central Complex and the Mushroom Bodies
2013
This study reviews the actual knowledge on functions of the central complex (CX) and the mushroom bodies (MBs) in a genetic model insect, the fly Drosophila melanogaster. Ongoing research of UNIMAINZ and respective data are included. Reference is made to other insects, where respective functions are not yet studied in Drosophila. Neuroanatomical information is reported with regard to the general flow of information in these central brain neuropils. Particular projection systems and circuits are taken into account where this can be linked to functions. Models are developed.
Growing a Project-Based Translation Pedagogy: A Fractal Perspective
2012
Le présent article propose un cheminement fractal à travers la psychologie et la philosophie éducative, avec l’intention de faire la lumière sur une représentation arborescente de sources d’inspiration interdisciplinaires et complémentaires pour une pédagogie de la traduction par projets. Commençant par la méthode d’apprentissage socioconstructiviste proposée au tournant du millénaire, notre propos tente de brosser un vaste portrait des influences synergiques sous-jacentes à l’approche émergente « holistique-expérientielle » de la formation en traduction. Le post-modernisme, l’énaction dans les sciences cognitives, la théorie de la complexité, la théorie éducative transformationnelle et l’é…
Dal Mediterraneo nuove strategie
2012
Luogo in cui pensieri, rivolte, influenze artistiche convergono, per definizione, Il Mediterraneo è un'area di contaminazione, come un affresco di mille sfumature e colori. L'importazione di molti elementi provenienti da tutto il mondo ha fatto in modo che il Mediterraneo si evolvesse nella sua dimensione attuale, dove le diverse componenti sono diventate gradualmente elementi costitutivi della vita dei suoi abitanti in vari settori, dal paesaggio, all'architettura, all'arte, alla cucina. Luogo sovrano in cui persiste la consapevolezza che le differenze rappresentano una ricchezza, è stato, è e sarà centro di incontri e conflitti, di fusione e separazione, di convivenza armoniosa e continua…
Insegnare architettura a Palermo - Teaching architecture in Palermo
2018
Il saggio mette a fuoco l’odierna formazione in Architettura a Palermo, tratteggiando un quadro generale da due punti di vista. Il primo individua alcune peculiarità sviluppatesi in circa duecento anni di storia, dalla nascita della cattedra di Architettura civile e statica, nella Regia Accademia degli Studi, nel 1779, a quello della fondazione della Facoltà di Architettura, nel 1944. Il secondo fa riferimento a un campo cronologicamente più ristretto in grado di porre in risalto gli ultimi decenni ed analizza gli elementi di continuità e discontinuità con circa due secoli di storia e il più recente processo di trasformazione della figura dell’architetto-docente. Nel suo insieme, l’immagine…
