Get Young People Working - The Youth Offer, Final Evaluation Report

Get Young People Working – The Youth Offer is a £3.28m two-year programme funded by City Bridge Trust (CBT). Grants have been made to London's 32 Local Authorities (LAs) with the aim of helping 1,000 young people across the capital not in Employment Education and Training (NEET) gain employment, an apprenticeship or vocational training. The intention of the programme has been to increase their employability, adding value to existing programmes and contributing to an evidence base of what works for this group. Every London LA was awarded a grant of up to £100,000, with the freedom to decide on the most appropriate spend in the light of local circumstances. The only condition was that the LAs worked in partnership with one or more Voluntary and Community Sector (VCS) organisation(s) to deliver the projects. The outcomes achieved exceeded the target, set for itself by City Bridge Trust, with 2,522 participants moving into full-time employment education or training and 214 into part-time education or employment. The individual projects were valued by participants, with a high level of satisfaction among those interviewed or surveyed

Diseño eléctrico de una boya para energía olamotriz

Renewable energies have been taking an important role in the disperse generation in the last years. A new renewable energy is the wave power, that transports energy by ocean surface waves, and capture that energy to do useful work. In this project is studied, discussed and designed the electrical parts needed to transform the wave power into electrical power as the control of the buoy (reactive and latching control), system (electrical or hydraulic), generators (linear or rotating),converter systems (depending on generator, speed control and grid), grid connections and transmissions systems, cables and transformers. The material produced in this report is definitely the beginning of new knowledge which can be deeply developed. From these studies some conclusions can be done as electrical systems offer excellent prospects for superior performance and other benefits compared with hydraulic systems, and the development of electrical system prototypes is justified. Phase control avoids the drawback of high power peaks keeping the advantage of increased power extraction. The rotating generation is preferred against a linear electric power generation in terms of efficiency and cost. In a plant, the wave energy converters (base units) can be connected in larger arrays ranging from tenths up to thousands of individual converters. The connections of these converters to the grid can be implemented in various ways (converters and transformer offshore or onshore and connections cables schemes) depending on the size of the farm and the proximity to the grid among other criteria as availability or cost. Taking into account cable losses and complexity the better option is place these devices onshore for small farms close to the grid and offshore for medium to large farms. Comparing connection schemes in terms of cable cost, both material and installation, and availability, systems with clusters and subclusters (small amount of base units) and one cable to the shore are the better options.Ingeniería Industria

The Forgotten Wayuu People

This article focuses on the history of the Wayuu tribe and its relationship with the Spanish conquistadors and later the Colombian government. It reviews the history to understand why the tribe is ignored and disregarded by the Colombian government. The article tries to find a solution to the gap between non-Wayuu Colombians and the Wayuu community through the contact theory. It aims to connect these two groups to more interactions which would cause for tolerance to develop according to the contact theory

Neural models for unsupervised disambiguation in morphologically rich languages

The problem of morphological ambiguity is central to many natural language processing tasks. In particular, morphologically rich languages pose a unique challenge due to the large number of possible forms some words can take. In this work, we implement and evaluate a method for morphological disambiguation of morphologically rich languages. We use deep learning techniques to build a disambiguation model and leverage existing tools to automatically generate a training data set. We evaluate our approach on the Finnish, Russian and Spanish languages. For these languages, our method surpasses the state-of-the-art results for the tasks of part-of-speech and lemma disambiguation

“El crimen del cine oriente” de Javier Tomeo: el cine como espacio literario en la estructura narrativa

En una primera aproximación a la interrelación entre cine y literatura parece que el guión como instrumento literario o paraliterario, significaría la unión entre ambas formas artísticas de comunicación, siendo ésta una de las conexiones más fructíferas, por ejemplo, en el campo de las adaptaciones literarias a la gran pantalla1. Dicho ámbito supone un lugar privilegiado para el análisis comparado de aspectos teóricos como los elementos espacio-temporales, la figura del narrador, los personajes, etc., todos ellos de gran importancia en la conformación estructural del discurso narrativo. No conviene olvidar que más allá de su antigüedad y posterior evolución -más de 2.500 años en la práctica literaria de Occidente- nos encontramos ante dos formas artísticas privilegiadas en lo que a contar historias se refiere. Y es precisamente en esta actividad donde ambas han encontrado su mayor difusión y repercusión en los últimos años
