El pensamiento de santo Tomás de Aquino en la Encíclica Fides et ratio
No full textThe author presents the portrait of St. Thomas Aquinas following a selection of texts of the Encyclical. The harmony between faith and reason, the right autonomy of the human nature, the metaphysics of act of being (including the personal being) seem to be the ground of the recomendations of the Popes, particularly from Leo XIII to John Paul II, to study the thought of Aquinas, that was very present in the Council Vatican II

No full textThe author begins the article by giving two examples on the subject of professional work done with excellent preparation and enabling the provision of assistance to a person in his personal and social dimension. He is in favor of a university model that acquires and transfers knowledge in the service of man and society. This should be done by the cooperation of various scientific disciplines at the university and the preparation of the scientific staff should be focused on reliable scientific research and appropriate didactic message.The author begins the article by giving two examples on the subject of professional work done with excellent preparation and enabling the provision of assistance to a person in his personal and social dimension.

No full textLife cycle and economic assessment of tidal energy farms in early design phases: Application to a second-generation tidal device
No full textPublisher Copyright: © 2024 The Author(s)Ocean currents are emerging as key contributors to renewable energy generation. However, technologies for harvesting tidal current energy are still in the early stages of development. In this context, environmental and economic studies on tidal energy converters (TECs) are crucial to further advance tidal technology and facilitate its entry into the market. This article presents a life cycle and economic assessment of a 34.5 MW tidal farm project comprising 23 second-generation tidal devices, each with a rated power of 1.5 MW. The tidal system was simulated using primary data from the full-scale floating platform Atir. The Atir is a pre-commercial tidal device designed with a steel trimaran and a submerged section for TEC installation. An assessment of 18 environmental impact categories was conducted using the ReCiPe 2016 MidPoint method, with process flow systems modelled using SimaPro v9.2.0.1 software. The environmental assessment indicates emissions of 42.11 g CO2eq per kWh, primarily stemming from manufacturing processes that demand substantial amounts of steel. The economic analysis reveals a Levelized Cost of Electricity (LCOE) of 0.125 EUR/kWh, consistent with European Commission projections. Although the platform structure represents a high initial investment, the lower maintenance costs of the Atir device provide long-term savings and, overall, result in a competitive LCOE. The study also introduces a methodological framework for harmonised environmental and economic assessments in tidal energy projects, proving crucial in supporting decision-making processes.Peer reviewe
The isitethical? Exchange responsible research and innovation for disaster risk management
No full textThis paper describes the IsITethical? Exchange, a European knowledge and service hub we are developing with and for diverse parties involved in crisis and disaster risk management. Their commitment to European values and fundamental rights underpins the rationale of the initiative, which is to support European societies' need for high quality innovation to balance the benefits of IT with fundamental human rights and values, especially privacy and data protection. The initiative is led by researchers at Lancaster University and builds on many years of collaborative design research with a wide range of international practitioners, academics, and commercial IT designers
