Analysis of the Financial Equilibrium on the Building Sector - Case of Romania

This paper is in fact an analysis of the financial equilibrium on the building sector in the period 2001 – 2006 of a sample of 11 enterprises from Galati County – Romania. The aim of this analysis is reflecting to the microeconomic level of the financial equilibrium of enterprises belongs to the building sector as well as the influence on the financial equilibrium of the sector exerted by some enterprises which hold a significant weight.financial equilibrium, building sector, financial balance sheet, financial working capital, net treasury

Customer unit substation of collective heat distribution system : Benchmark of hot water comfort test standard and methodologies

The performance assessment of dwelling heating substations in terms of level of comfort is usually studied regarding temperature overshoots, stationary temperature deviations and settling time among other parameters. In fact, several standards and test methods can be found focusing on a specific target or technology. However, these methods do not always provide clear information about hot water comfort. As a result planners, developers and customers have difficulties to compare a substation product with products using other technologies for the heating of sanitary hot water. The study investigates the compatibility of already existing methods and intends to evaluate their applicability to systems where the sanitary hot water is prepared in an instantaneous way by using a heat exchanger in a district heating substation. In order to achieve that aim, a dynamic simulation model of a test setup (using TRNSYS) has been developed. The test procedures, as well as the simulation results, are described and discussed. This analysis is expected to provide the basis for an integrated performance assessment test of this kind of devices

Une nouvelle procédure réduit le temps de laboratoire à 6 heures après la pose des implants pour l’élaboration d’une prothèse avec une armature en titane usiné dans le cadre d’une mise en charge immédiate complète

La mise en charge immédiate supra-implantaire a pour but d’améliorer l’ostéointégration des implants mais aussi, et surtout, d’améliorer le confort du patient par une réduction significative du temps de traitement global. Grâce au protocole de mise en charge immédiate, le confort psychologique du patient est grandement favorisé face à la perspective de l’endettement qui sera donc réduit au maximum. Cependant, cette thérapeutique qui est aujourd’hui bien répandue, se fait dans un laps de temps de 48h à 72h ; ce dernier peut être réduit pour une amélioration encore plus significative du confort du patient et donc ramené à 1 journée. Sans réellement comparer ce concept ALL IN BAR® à la conception classique d’une armature, on a pu montrer les innovations et avantages qu'il présente, notamment au niveau de la rapidité du traitement, mais la description du concept a aussi montré que ce dernier était encore bien perfectible

Étude sur Les Perceptions et les Attentes des Professionnels de Santé, des Bénévoles et des Familles des Malades dans le Cadre de la Prise en Charge des Soins Palliatifs

This qualitative study, conducted in three metropolitan areas, Champagne Ardenne, Ile-de-France, and Languedoc-Roussillon explores current palliative care practices in 37 facilities, both for dependent elderly (nursing homes) and for adults and children with severe disabilities (MAS and IME). The study confronts the viewpoints of the different actors that revolve around a patient: doctors, nurses and other health professionals (physiotherapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, etc.), relatives, volunteers and patients themselves. 40 cases of sick children and adults were observed. From the analysis of the interviews, it appears that the palliative approach is still not fully adopted by teams that are reluctant to deal with the end of life and postpone the most difficult cases. Among the priorities to be developed are: the harmonization of the initial training of caregivers and ongoing training and the mobilization of specialist palliative care that could better support and assist caregivers in this sector

Formulación del problema de optimización multiobjetivo del confort en edificación sostenible

XXXVII Jornadas de Automática. 07/09/2016. MadridEn este trabajo se realiza un análisis detallado del problema de optimización del confort desde un enfoque basado en criterios de edificación sostenible. Para ello, se propone una arquitectura de control jerárquico multicapa gobernada mediante una estrategia de optimización multiobjetivo que proporciona trayectorias de referencia para la temperatura del aire y la iluminancia en el interior de las estancias de un edificio. Los objetivos que se han establecido para el desarrollo de este trabajo son maximizar el confort térmico, el confort visual y la eficiencia energética.Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad DPI2014-56364-C2-1-

Confort higrotérmico para actividades en espacios exteriores: periodo cálido, en clima cálido seco extremo

El tiempo de duración de las actividades en espacios exteriores en clima cálido seco extremo, depende de las condiciones de confort higrotérmico de los usuarios. Además por condiciones de ambiente térmico existen riesgos como deshidratación o golpe de calor. El objetivo del presente estudio fue estimar condiciones confort por temperatura y humedad relativa de usuarios de espacios exteriores de un centro recreativo de Mexicali, Baja California, México. Se presenta la estimación de temperatura y humedad relativa neutral con rangos de confort térmico para espacios exteriores, en el período cálido en un clima desértico. Se diseñó un cuestionario basado en ISO 10551, se midieron temperatura de bulbo seco y humedad relativa. Se aplicaron 822 encuestas en julio y agosto del 2008. Se estimaron temperatura y humedad relativa neutra y rangos de confort con el método de medias por intervalo de sensación térmica. El análisis se hizo para tres niveles de actividad: pasiva, moderada e intensa y uno combinado con los tres niveles. El período analizado presentó un comportamiento de clima asimétrico. Los valores de temperatura son aproximadamente simétricos con respecto a sus rangos de confort térmico, mientras que el confort por humedad relativa en actividad moderada e intensa fue asimétrico. Las temperaturas y humedad relativa neutras obtenidas muestran que los sujetos en actividad intensa, con práctica periódica de ejercicio y hábitos apropiados a las condiciones de clima, tienen una temperatura y humedad relativa de confort similar a aquellos con actividad pasiva.The duration of outdoor activities in extreme dry in warm weather, depends on the hygrothermal comfort conditions for users. In addition to the thermal environment conditions there are risks such as dehydration or Heat Stroke. The objective of this study was to estimate the comfort conditions for temperature and relative humidity of outdoor users of a recreational center in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. This work shows the estimated neutral temperatura, neutral relative humidity and thermal comfort ranges during the warm period for a public recreational green area located on a desert climate. A questionnaire was designed based on the scale of thermal sensation of ISO 10551 were measured dry bulb temperatura and relative humidity. A total of 822 questionnaires were applied during the months of July and August 2008. By estimated neutral temperatura, neutral relative humidity and comfort range with a statistical method of correlation. The analysis was done for three activity levels: passive, moderate e intense, besides the three levels together. The period of climate analyzed was asymmetric. The neutral temperature values obtained are approximately symmetrical with respect to the thermal comfort range, while the relative humidity comfort for moderate and intensity activity was asymmetric. The neutral temperatures and relative humidity obtained show that the intense activity in subjects with regular exercise and practice habits appropriate to the weather conditions, had a temperature of comfort similar to subjects with passive activity.Peer Reviewe
