ISSA 2012 : The medium-term impact of the first ISSA in the eyes of its participants
No full textBackground: This contribution aims at illustrating the perspective of students attending the first International Summer School on Ageing (ISSA), highlighting the midterm impact exerted by this initiative on their own educational career.Methods: The reported findings are based on a follow-up assessment questionnaire sent out to and filled-in by ISSA participants (n= 20) six months after the Summer School’s conclusion, with the aim of identifying whether participation in the ISSA had brought any advantage to each participant's professional and educational life.Results: Among the ISSA-related aspects identified as “important” for their future research activity, the main ones were “interacting with established researchers” (100%) and “being part of a research network” (85%), followed by “use of different approaches” and “training environment”. As for the aspects “influenced” by the ISSA, the “development of a professional network” was the most frequently mentioned (100%), followed by “research training” (84%), “research interest” (79%) and “career” (71%). The majority of participants reported that, since their ISSA attendance, had remained in contact with each other for study-related (65%) or work-related (60%) purposes. This networking activity has led to joint scientific collaborations with both mentors (one joint conference presentation and two peer-review publications) and fellow students (preparation of a project proposal in response toa research call and organisation of a scientific event).Conclusions: The reported findings show that the ISSA has been useful in creating a collaborative multidisciplinary network of younger and older researchers on ageing-related issues, which is likely to bear more fruitin the long-term.</p
El Canto de la Rana: especismo y posibilidad de comunicación en los Haikus de Issa
No full textEste artículo pretende tratar el rol de los animales, específicamente de las ranas, en la poesía
de Kobayashi Nobuyuki (1763-1827), más conocido como «Issa», desde una perspectiva
que identifica paralelismos comunes en los presupuestos anarquistas, budistas Shin y ecocríticos.
La interrelación de esas tres líneas de pensamiento es relevante en la obra poética
de Issa, ya que sus poemas tocan el tema de la comunicación no-humana al tiempo que
desmantelan las relaciones de poder por medio de una interpretación particular e igualitaria
de los preceptos budistas. La práctica budista de escuchar de Issa descentraliza la voz
poética a la vez que empodera a la rana como sujeto hablante, alterando así el pensamiento
especista. La visión de Issa no sólo es acorde a una cierta visión budista del mundo sino
que además tiene concomitancias con la del anarquismo, en tanto concibe un mundo que
fluye sin jerarquías ni estructuras de autoridad. Esta temática anarquista y budista puede
arrojar cierta luz sobre la problemática actual de los discursos ecocríticos acerca de dar voz
a lo no-humano y dotarle de «agencialidad».The aim of this paper is to discuss the role of animals, particularly frogs, in Kobayashi
Nobuyuki (1763-1827), “Issa” ’s poetry from a perspective that identifies common and
parallel threads in Anarchist, Shin Buddhist and Ecocritical thinking. The interrelationship
between these three lines of thought is relevant to the frog poems of Issa, since they
address the issue of speaking non-humans and dismantle power relations by following
a particularly egalitarian interpretation of Buddhist thought. Issa’s Buddhist practice of
listening de-centers the poet while empowering the frog as a speaking subject, and thus
disrupts speciesist thinking. Issa’s vision is not only in consonance with a certain Buddhist
worldview but can also be said to be anarchist, in so far as it conceives a fluid world without
hierarchies or authority structures. These anarchist and Buddhist themes can shed some
light on ongoing ecocritical discussions about non-human voice and agency

Control of transient power during unintentional islanding of microgrids
No full textIn inverter-based microgrids, the paralleled inverters need to work in grid-connected mode and stand-alone mode and to transfer seamlessly between the two modes. In grid-connected mode, the inverters control the amount of power injected into the grid. In stand-alone mode, however, the inverters control the island voltage while the output power is dictated by the load. This can be achieved using the droop control. Inverters can have different power set-points during grid-connected mode but in stand-alone mode they all need their power set-points to be adjusted according to their power ratings. However, during sudden unintentional islanding (due to loss of mains), transient power can flow from inverters with high power setpoints to inverters with low power set-points, which can raise the DC link voltage of the inverters causing them to shut down. This paper investigates the transient circulating power between paralleled inverters during unintentional islanding and proposes a controller to limit it. The controller monitors the DC link voltage and adjusts the power set-point in proportion to the rise in the voltage. A small signal model of an islanded microgrid is developed and used to design the controller. Simulation and experimental results are presented to validate the design
Private investment in guinea, does macro-instability matter? A comparative analysis
No full textThis paper examines empirically the link between macro-instability and private investment rate in Guinea, in comparison with WAEMU countries . Notwithstanding the caution imposed by data and methodological limitations in interpreting the results, the paper shows that macroeconomic instability is, in general, higher in Guinea than WAEMU countries. Consequently, macroeconomic uncertainties are cause of concern. Using a panel data approach, the findings suggest that the negative effects of relative price volatility (mainly inflation, real effective exchange rates) expected in theory, do not occur when small deviations are combined with competitiveness, resulting from a declining real effective exchange rate. In addition, the positive effect of foreign exchange reserves on the private investment rate supports the view that the availability of foreign exchange reserves is critical in a fixed exchange rate regime as that of WAEMU, as well as in an imperfect floating exchange rate regime as that of Guinea. While the panel data approach shows no evidence of negative impact of macroeconomic uncertainties, it suggests further analysis to explore the robustness of this result. A time series approach is carried out for Guinea, with regard to this purpose. As mentioned above, Guinea registers higher level of macroeconomic instability, compared to WAEMU countries. Using a single error correction model, the counter-intuitive impact of macroeconomic instability variables (measured by the real effective exchange rate, inflation rate and the terms of trade) persists. Given the dominant share of the mining sector in the private investment figures, the findings may be misleading as this sector may be protected from the wrong market signals resulting from the increasing macro-instability. However, capturing such an ‘enclave-effect’ is unfortunately limited by the lack of disaggregated investment data by sector. Finally, the results indicate a negative (indirect) impact of macroeconomic instability (measured by the real lending rate and the flow of credit to the economy) on the private sector investment. They suggest additional efforts to improve the overall macroeconomic context and especially, an in-depth openness of the financial sector, to diversify credit instruments to the private sector in Guinea.Guinea, Macro-instability, Inflation, Private investment
