    This paper presents an environmental diagnosis based on public complaints on environmental issues submitted to the Environmental Department of the Aveiro City Council, Portugal, between 2000 and 2005. It discusses the potential influences of these in local environmental planning and governance. The paper has been organised into five sections. The first of these introduces the study. The second section focuses on the conceptual approaches relating to environmental grassroots movements, the main actors involved in these movements and the role played by local government. It also contains a brief review of the most recent urban environmental quality challenges in the European context together with a description of the main features of the associated political and legal framework in Portugal. The third section describes the case study and the methodology used. The results of the empirical study are detailed in the fourth section. The final section critically analyses these results with emphases on the temporal evolution of the submission of complaints, the actors involved, the local environmental problems and their associated spatial pattern as well as the responses given by the City Council. This information may then be used to provide a useful indicator for the perception of environmental quality as well as a credible instrument for the visualisation and evaluation of local performance in terms of environmental planning and management.AlBan Programme - n.

    A Comparative Study of Business-to-Government Information Sharing Arrangements for Tax Reporting

    No full text
    Having tax transparency is getting more important and enforced by more and more countries around the world. To deal with tax evasion, OECD has developed an Automatic Exchange of Information (AEOI) standard. The implementation of this standard differs among countries. In this study, we explore factors explaining the differences between two information sharing arrangements in implementing the AEOI standard. In both cases, the information sharing architecture and the accompanying governance arrangement are investigated. The findings of the exploratory study show that the differences are influenced by available IT capabilities, interoperability, trust among information sharing partners, power difference, inter-organizational relationship, and perceived benefits of implementing such arrangements. Ten propositions are derived explaining the differences which can be tested in further research.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Information and Communication Technolog

    New Role for an Old Protein: An Educational Primer for Use with “The Identification of a Novel Mutant Allele of <i>topoisomerase II</i> in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> Reveals a Unique Role in Chromosome Segregation During Spermatogenesis”

    No full text
    Abstract Modern experimental techniques, such as whole-genome sequencing and clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/Cas9 endogenous genome editing, are enabling researchers to identify and further characterize the roles of proteins that were previously thought of as well defined. In the December 2016 issue of GENETICS, an article by Jaramillo-Lambert et al. identified a new role for the enzyme topoisomerase II in Caenorhabditis elegans male meiosis. This Primer article is designed to provide essential background information on C. elegans spermatogenesis and the relevant scientific techniques that will assist students and instructors in their understanding and discussion of the related article. Related article in GENETICS: Jaramillo-Lambert, A., A. S. Fabritius A. S., T. J. Hansen T. J., H. E. Smith H. E., and A.

    Rice Cultivation and Greenhouse Gas Emissions: A Review and Conceptual Framework with Reference to Ghana

    Get PDF
    abstract: Rice is an essential crop in Ghana. Several aspects of rice have been studied to increase its production; however, the environmental aspects, including impact on climate change, have not been studied well. There is therefore a gap in knowledge, and hence the need for continuous research. By accessing academic portals, such as Springer Open, InTech Open, Elsevier, and the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology’s offline campus library, 61 academic publications including peer reviewed journals, books, working papers, reports, etc. were critically reviewed. It was found that there is a lack of data on how paddy rice production systems affect greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, particularly emissions estimation, geographical location, and crops. Regarding GHG emission estimation, the review identified the use of emission factors calibrated using temperate conditions which do not suit tropical conditions. On location, most research on rice GHG emissions have been carried out in Asia with little input from Africa. In regard to crops, there is paucity of in-situ emissions data from paddy fields in Ghana. Drawing on the review, a conceptual framework is developed using Ghana as reference point to guide the discussion on fertilizer application, water management rice cultivars, and soil for future development of adaptation strategies for rice emission reduction

    Selected topics in interventional radiology: a compendium of student honors papers on the Interventional radiology elective

    No full text
    This book is a collaborative effort with medical students from the Rutgers/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, previously Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. The students contributed chapters written as honors papers,while on their Interventional Radiology elective. This publication is not meant to completely cover the ever expanding realm of interventional radiology but includes topics of interest to the students while on their elective. It has been rewarding to work with these amazing students, many of whom have elected to practice diagnostic and interventional radiology. This work was supported by a small grant from the Rutgers Library to create affordable books. As it is self published please overlook minor flaws. The newest area of interventional radiology, interventional oncology, will be covered in subsequent chapters as they are written. As with other dynamic fields of medicine some material becomes outdated soon after it is written. As this is an electronic publication we will strive to update chapters as required.Central venous access in interventional radiology / Daniel Haddad, Mary-Katherine Lynch Image -guided percutaneous needle biopsy / Ross Cadman Image -guided percutaneous abscess drainage of abdominal and pelvic abscess / Zaeem Billah, Dhaval Mehta Interventional radiology approaches for the treatment of refractory ascites / Travis R.

    No full text
    This chapter examines primary issues confronting preservice teacher preparation in the US public schools. There are several issues confronting teaching and teacher education programs. However, this chapter explores cultural and linguistic diversity issues given the critical need for inclusive education. The increasing nature of demographic changes in the schools and the U.S. society also has ramifications for students' learning and preservice teacher preparation. To that end, this chapter examines efforts by organizations and educational researchers to respond to the phenomenon of demographic changes in US public schools and the need to equip teachers with competencies needed to help students become successful in schools. The author examines how one teacher education program is preparing teachers to meet the demands of teaching culturally and linguistically diverse student population. Finally, the author provides suggestions on how to improve and enhance culturally responsive pedagogical competence among preservice teachers.</jats:p

    The growing demand for wind power integration into the generation mix prompts the need to subject these systems to stringent performance requirements. This study sought to identify the required tools and procedures needed to perform real-time simulation studies of Doubly-Fed Induction Generator (DFIG) based wind generation systems as basis for performing more practical tests of reliability and performance for both grid-connected and islanded wind generation systems. The author focused on developing a platform for win d generation studies and in addition, the author tested the performance of two DFIG models on the platform real-time simulation model; an average SimpowerSystems® DFIG wind turbine, and a detailed DFIG based wind turbine using ARTEMiS® components. The platform model implemented here consists of a high voltage transmission system with four integrated wind farm models consisting in total of 65 DFIG based wind turbines and it was developed and tested on OPAL-RT’s eMEGASim® Real-Time Digital Simulator
