On the economic effects of a res local industry deployment in Morocco: A case of study defining scenarios from a survey to stakeholders

The aim of this article is to simulate the economic impact on Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and employment of renewable energy sources investment in Morocco over the next 40 years. In this sense, several potential scenarios of energy component evolution have been used based on the results of a specific survey to sector stakeholders. We obtain accurate results, avoiding speculative/theoretical assumptions in terms of scenario design. As usual in the sector, a Dynamic Input-Output Model (DI-O) is used to estimate the direct and indirect effects of such a large investment and, avoiding the criticism of this type of model in the context of long-term simulations, the alternative of de Arce et al. (2012) is used. In this framework, substantial results derive from the three scenarios considered: the increase in Moroccan GDP as a result of this investment could be around 1.2-1.7 points and, on average, 42,000 new jobs could be created

Productivity from within

The influence of personal and environmental psychosocial variables on workers’ individual productivity was investigated in a large company using the company’s own index of individual productivity. Productivity depended on age, use of anxiolitics, the WES variables control, clarity and innovation (Moos et al., 1984) and the MAE variable ambition (Pelechano, 1975). ------ RESUMO ------ Neste artigo foi analisada a influhcia das varihveis pessoais e da envolvente psicossocial na produtividade individual de trabalhadores de uma grande empresa, usando-se para tal o indice de produtividade individual da pr6pria organizaG8o. OS resultados obtidos permitem concluir que a produtividade depende da idade, do us0 de ansioliticos, das varitiveis de controlo WES, claridade e inova@o (Moos et al., 1984) e da varihvel de ambiNo MAE (Pelechano, 1975)

Determinants of Bilateral Immigration Flows Between The European Union and some Mediterranean Partner Countries: Algeria, Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey

In this paper one survey of econometrics modelling about migration flows determinants is carried out, with an extensive critical review of variables and methods used in recent literature. After it, a rigorous model to forecast migrations flows from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and Turkey to EU is developed. The weight of network effects and potential migration in origin countries is pointed out and 15 years of forecast horizon is drawn

Batterer intervention programmes: A meta-analytic review of effectiveness

A meta-analysis of the state-of-the-art on the efficacy of batterer treatment programmes was conducted from the year 1975 to 2013. A total of 19 Spanish and English language research articles were retrieved yielding 49 effect sizes from a sample of 18,941 batterers. The results revealed that the recidivism rate as measured by couple reports (CR) was significantly higher than the rate based on official reports (OR), since the recidivism as measured by OR is underestimated. Overall, treatment showed a non significant positive weighted mean effect, delta = 0.41. Nevertheless, the counternull effect size, ES counternull =0.82, suggested a null effect was as probable as a treatment efficacy rate of 38%. The intervention type was not a significant moderator of recidivism, but the counternull effect sizes, EScounternull = 0.82 and 0.94, revealed an efficacy rate of 38% and 42% based on ORs, for Duluth Model and behavioral-cognitive treatment, respectively. The long-term treatment interventions had a significantly positive medium effect size, delta = 0.49. The implications of these findings for the design and assessment of future intervention programmes are discussed

Immigration policy and its impact a comparative study with a focus on Spain

Immigration dynamics have varied across time and across countries and immigration flows can have a significant economic, social, political and cultural impact on host countries. The challenge for policy makers and academics is to better understand to what extent public policy decisions can influence migration flows and their impact. To address this research challenge, we need to advance a broader comparative research agenda that allows for a systematic comparison of immigration policy outputs (laws) and immigration policy outcomes (the impact of such laws). This report seeks to contribute to such a research agenda and the development of a corresponding methodological framework that would allow for such an empirical investigation. This report will first provide a historical overview of European migration trends that will set the Spanish experience in its broader context. The next part focuses on the evolution of Spanish immigration policy and its impact, and also provides an analytical summary of recent research identifies the limitations of existing research designs and proposes a broader comparative research agenda that would help the academic and policy- community deepen their understanding of the variation and differential immigration policies

Glycerol and Glycerol/water Gasification for the Decarbonisation of Industrial Heat

This research is aimed at using Gaseq equilibrium flame chemistry modelling, to demonstrate that wet waste crude glycerol could be air gasified to produce a Biomass Gasification Gas (BGG) for direct applications as a burner fuel for the decarbonisation of industrial heat. Glycerol is a typical biomass fuel in its composition and it is similar to the distillery waste pot ale (PA), which is about 87% water and 13% pot ale syrup (PAS). Both of these low-cost waste bio-fuels are not easy to burn in conventional burners due to their high viscosity, high boiling point and high water content. There is much agricultural waste and other industrial bio-liquid wastes that are also high in water content, including distillery waste draff, spent grains from the barley malting process and farming manure. Draff is typically 75% water. Consequently, this work investigated the influence of water on BGG composition for wet bio-waste, using glycerol/water mixtures as the demonstration of wet bio-waste. Gasification of biomass can be aided by adding steam to the air gasifier, due to the water gas shift reaction that reacts with steam and CO to produce more hydrogen. However, if the steam generator is a separate plant there are energy efficiency problems. In the present work, the gasifier is heated directly by an inline burner operating very lean and this will vaporise the water in the biomass and produce steam. The burner temperature controls the gasifier operating temperature and the yield of CO and H2, as well as moving the peak energy content of the BGG to richer gasification equivalence ratio. Water in the fuel up to 60% was predicted to still achieve gasification, but the impact on equilibrium hydrogen was only a small increase with a larger decrease in CO. With BGG gas combustion in a boiler it would be possible to recover the heat of vaporisation of water through flue gas condensation and recovery of the heat using burner inlet air cooling

Evaluación preliminar en macroparcelas de maíces blancos híbridos Pionner INTA, EEA El Colorado, Formosa

El cultivo de maíz es de gran importancia para el desarrollo de nuestra zona de influencia, como consumo humano y animal. La expansión de la agricultura y la intensificación de la producción ganadera, ha conducido una mayor utilización de áreas marginales con limitantes edafoclimáticas (Giorda y Ortiz 2012). La mayor rentabilidad de la agricultura desplazó el cultivo a zonas donde antes se hacía ganadería (Bendersky y Flores, 2011). El rendimiento promedio de maíz desde la campaña 2002-2003 a la 2018-2019 pasó de 2.994,0 kg ha-1 a 4.500,0 kg ha-1, en la provincia de Formosa (Estimaciones Agrícolas, 2020).Fil: Ibarra Zamudio, Walter Osvaldo.

Rendimientos de maíz en siembras de segunda durante la campaña 2019-2020, en la EEA El Colorado, Formosa

El maíz, es un cultivo de alto potencial de rendimiento, qué responden a los incrementos de insumos, buenas prácticas agrícolas y buenas condiciones ambientales (Graso, 2020; Miglioratí, 2021). La expansión de la agricultura y la intensificación de la producción ganadera condujo a la mayor utilización de áreas marginales (Giorda y Ortiz, 2012), la agricultura se desplazó a zonas donde antes se hacía ganadería (Bendersky y Flores, 2011).
