Decoupled control scheme of grid-connected split-source inverters
2017
Grid-connected power conversion systems for renewable energy sources must fulfill several requirements, e.g., the high efficiency, the reduced cost and complexity, and, quite often, the boost capabilities that is usually achieved using a front-end dc–dc boost converter before the inversion stage, leading to a two-stage architecture. Meanwhile, single-stage power conversion systems, which perform the boosting operation within the inversion one, offer some potential advantages, in terms of reducing the complexity and the volume of the whole system. Among several proposed options, the split-source inverter (SSI) has been recently proposed by Abdelhakim et al. as an alternative option with some…

The role of the agreement as a tool for management of property relations in cases of cross border marriages and civil unions/partnerships registered …
2021
The essay examines the role of the agreement as a tool for managing property relationships in crossborder marriages and registered partnerships, in light of EU Regulations 1103 and 1104 of 2016, on the property regimes of international married or registered couples. The main prerogative of such acts is the recognition of the parties? freedom to choose the court and the applicable law. The law governing the matrimonial property regimes, or the property consequences of registered partnerships, has universal scope. This agreement in the form envisaged, which is backed by the need for legal certainty and predictability of the applicable rules, means that the spouses, in family problems which ha…
Precision Agriculture: Past, Present and Future
2011
From 1978 the Global Positioning System, needed for sensing the position of military targets (e.g. buildings, machinery), was developed as a pure military system, while in 1983 it was made available also for public use. Therefore, at the beginning of 80s precision agriculture, requiring GPS for sensing the position to which any measured field parameter must be geo-referenced, was implemented for the first time in US. In fact, soil and crop parameters are spatially variable in a field, so that spatially uniform rate crop input applications cause increased environmental impact and crop input waste. In order to reduce the environmental impact and optimise the use of crop inputs, precision agri…
Beyond “liberals” and “conservatives”: Complexity in ideology, moral intuitions, and worldview among Swedish voters
2020
This research investigated the congruence between the ideologies of political parties and the ideological preferences (N = 1515), moral intuitions (N = 1048), and political values and worldviews (N = 1345) of diverse samples of Swedish adults who voted or intended to vote for the parties. Logistic regression analyses yielded support for a series of hypotheses about variations in ideology beyond the left-right division. With respect to social ideology, resistance to change and binding moral intuitions predicted stronger preference for a social democratic (vs. progressive) party on the left and weaker preference for a social liberal (vs. social conservative or liberal-conservative) party on t…

Entrepreneurs and Growth : An Option, Obligation or Obsession?
2018
“Growth” as a word carries a positive tone in it; human beings grow and mature, gaining new knowledge and resources, and so do companies. Growth, however, has never been for all. In competitive markets, some grow and others do not—or grow at slower pace than others. Furthermore, growth is a process that strains the capabilities and resources of an individual, company, and its acting entrepreneurs to their extreme. Growth means also learning and leaving behind something learned of possessed before. Growth disrupts the history and path of a single company and its entrepreneur. The text synthetizes the scattered literature in growth and entrepreneurship. A case study shows how growth is viewed…
¿Cómo escribir un artículo científico desde la intervención social?
2014
El presente documento pretende ser una guía útil para las y los profesionales de la práctica social. Tiene como objetivo facilitar la redacción de artículos científicos en los que se plasmen las intervenciones sociales realizadas. Estas intervenciones, individuales, grupales o comunitarias son cimientos fundamentales para nuestra disciplina y elemento definitorio de la misma. Desde la Revista TSnova se detectó la dificultad de las y los profesionales para redactar este tipo de manuscritos y, en consecuencia se optó por elaborar un material de ágil consulta. Este es el fruto de ese trabajo en el que aparte de esquematizar los posibles elementos que han de componer un artículo científico, se …
Darba un ģimenes dzīves preferences
2018
Šī darba tēma ir “Darba un ģimenes dzīves preferences”. Kā bakalaura darba mērķis tiek izvirzīts noskaidrot, cik liela daļa sieviešu un vīriešu izvēlas karjeru kā savu galveno prioritāti vai mēģina saskaņot ģimenes un dzīves prasības. Tiek izvirzītas arī trīs hipotēzes: 1) ģimenes tipa sievietes biežāk piekritīs dažādiem apgalvojumiem par dzimumu lomām, kas saistīti ar sievietes rūpēm par mājas dzīvi; 2) lielākā daļa sieviešu cenšas ģimenes dzīvi apvienot ar algota darba iespējām; 3) sievietes (it īpaši adaptīvā tipa) lielākā mēra nekā vīrieši atbalstīs dažādus atbalsta veidus, kas palīdz saskaņot darba un ģimenes dzīves pienākumus. Kā darba teorētiskais ietvars tiek izmantota Katerīnas Hak…
