    Dislocation nucleation in shocked fcc solids: effects of temperature and preexisting voids

    Full text link
    Quantitative behaviors of shock-induced dislocation nucleation are investigated by means of molecular dynamics simulations on fcc Lennard-Jones solids: a model Argon. In perfect crystals, it is found that Hugoniot elastic limit (HEL) is a linearly decreasing function of temperature: from near-zero to melting temperatures. In a defective crystal with a void, dislocations are found to nucleate on the void surface. Also HEL drastically decreases to 15 percent of the perfect crystal when a void radius is 3.4 nanometer. The decrease of HEL becomes larger as the void radius increases, but HEL becomes insensitive to temperature.Comment: 4 pages. (ver.2) All figures have been revised. Two citations are newly added. Numerical unit is unified in the context of solid argon. (ver. 3) A minor revision including new reference

    A new spirit across sectors: Constructing a common justification for corporate volunteering

    Corporate volunteering is an activity located at the intersection of the corporate and nonprofit spheres. Its coordination and implementation create interesting encounters between professionals from both sectors. This article adopts a pragmatic sociological approach to analysing the discursive processes that nurture or hinder these encounters and the corporate volunteering activities they aim to produce. It brings to the fore the nonprofit perspective by analysing 39 semi-structured interviews with Dutch and Belgian nonprofit professionals who were engaged in corporate volunteering coordination. The study shows that a flexible and project-oriented justification regime, which is mainly promoted by nonprofits that match companies with other nonprofits, creates a common discursive terrain that nurtures cross-sectoral collaboration. Other justification regimes, particularly the civic one, are increasingly marginalised, as they are perceived as hindering collaboration rather than enabling it. Thus the proliferation of corporate volunteering, and the dominance of the project-oriented justification that is intertwined with it, together challenge classical identifications of the nonprofit sector with civic action

    The main problems in this research were, first, how is the participation of local governments in realizing children-friendly city/district (KLA) in Indonesia. Second, what are the factors that affect the local governments in realizing children-friendly city/district in Indonesia. This was a normative legal research; legal materials were analyzed using descriptive qualitative approach. The results of the research showed that: first, the forms of participation of the local governments in fulfilling children's rights so that they deserve to be declared as KLA are: 1) Civil Rights and Freedom; 2) Family and Alternative Nursery; 3) Disability, Basic Health and Welfare; 4) Education, Utilization of Leisure Time and Cultural Activities; and 5) Special Protection. Second, there are several factors that affect how a region becomes KLA: 1) Legislation and policies on the fulfillment of children's rights; 2) Budget for the fulfillment of children's rights; 3) The number of legislations, policies, programs and activities that get input from children forum and other children groups; 4) Availability of KLA-trained human resources who are able to integrate children's rights into policies, programs and activities; 5) Availability of children's data by sex, age, and sub-districts; 6) Involvement of community institutions in the fulfillment of children's rights; and 7) Involvement of business in the fulfillment of children's rights
