Pressure drops in nuclear thermal hydraulicsd. Principles, experiments, and modeling
No full textPressure drops in a loop are consequence of the flow (except for gravity pressure drops). The consistent combination of mass flow rate and pressure drop determines the pumping power in all systems including water cooled nuclear reactors. The complexity of the issue may be grasped considering the following items: (a) two-phase flows; (b) singularities in the flow stream or at geometric discontinuities; (c) counter-current flow (liquid and steam); (d) flow reversal; (e) flashing of subcooled fluid including the extreme conditions of typical geysering. Pressure drops in a closed loop following loss of coolant accident (e.g., pressurized water reactor conditions, mainly) determine the fluid stagnation point location which may signify zero-flow and very low heat transfer coefficient. All of this constitutes a motivation for this chapter
Een exploratief onderzoek naar arbeidsmigranten en veiligheid in drie Europese landen
No full textHet aantal ongevallen met verzuim van arbeidsmigranten of ‘nieuwkomers’ stijgt de laatste jaren. Onder andere naar aanleiding hiervan is er in opdracht van het Ministerie van Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid een studie uitgevoerd naar de arbeidsveiligheid van deze groep. Drie Europese landen (Denemarken, Verenigd Koninkrijk, Nederland) namen deel aan de studie. Speciale aandacht ging uit naar de relatie tussen veiligheid en de nationaliteit van de migranten. Met behulp van vierenveertig interviews, een vragenlijstonderzoek in elf landen en Deense ongevalsdata wordt een beeld geschetst van de situatie van arbeidsmigranten in de drie landen. Hoewel nog veel materiaal anekdotisch is, kan geconcludeerd worden dat het om een kwetsbare groep gaat. Zo lang veel migranten ongeregistreerd aan het werk gaan in het buitenland, en de nationale ongevallen databases niet uitgebreider en systematischer gecodeerd worden, blijft echter de omvang van het probleem vooralsnog onduidelijk.Values and TechnologyTechnology, Policy and Managemen
Measuring safety climate in health care
No full textA systematic literature review was undertaken to study sample and questionnaire design characteristics (source, no of items, scale type), construct validity (content validity, factor structure and internal reliability, concurrent validity), within group agreement, and level of analysis. Twelve studies were examined. There was a lack of explicit theoretical underpinning for most questionnaires and some instruments did not report standard psychometric criteria. Where this information was available, several questionnaires appeared to have limitations. More consideration should be given to psychometric factors in the design of healthcare safety climate instruments, especially as these are beginning to be used in large scale surveys across healthcare organisations
The social sustainability of the Table Mountain cableway
No full textSocial sustainability provides a meaningful approach for industry practitioners wishing to establish a platform to engage communities within enterprise development. It can be said that sustainability requires much more than environmental and fiscal achievements and, with an increased awareness of issues such as equity and power sharing, more corporates are incorporating their strategies in line with social responsibility values. This study therefore takes a closer look at how the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company, integrates this important concept of social sustainability in its business practices.
The tourism industry has in fact grown to such an extent that global economists estimate the progress of international growth at between three and six percent annually. However, this growth can only be measured when businesses take social responsibility factors into consideration.
According to the UNWTO (2011, p 1) UN Secretary-General, Ban Ki-Moon, opened the Fourth UN Conference on Least Developed Countries stating that the majority of: “…least developed countries (LDCs) are rich in resources. All have young and vibrant populations. These men and women need decent jobs, education, training, so they can make the most of their country’s assets - minerals and other commodities, farmland, rich stores of biodiversity and tourism potential”.
This study therefore focuses on current and future issues pertaining to socially sustainable tourism at the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company in Cape Town, South Africa. In addition, it presents solutions for reducing the negative impacts of tourism, whilst at the same time embracing the benefits of tourism for the area and its local communities.
The outcome of the study found that the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company added little value to social responsibility objectives. The company has made a significant effort in marketing their product through the mass media.
However, there is an overall corporate responsibility barrier. Much still needs to be done to ensure accountability for social responsibility issues, not just within this particular company, but also throughout the tourism industry.M. Sc. (Environmental Science)Environmental Science
