Intervention in the Interest of Deprived Elderly People

Beside we have to have adequate answers for our material needs we must have active relationships with our social environment as well. People living in segregated circumstances have limited access to the rest of the society, but elderly people of these fields can be mentally separated from their own communities too, according to recent research results in Hungary.In every society of the world, external intervention for inhabitants must be based on relevant information. This has got two main resources: the first one is the theoretical framework of group processes; the second is the practical knowledge of the special territory where the programs can be implemented. This paper has got three main chapters. From the “Introduction” the Reader will understand a special element of social inequalities, when we are going to concentrate on the determinant role of residential segregation. In the secondchapter we will deal with the disintegration process and the decaying solidarity level of small communities, which has a major impact on elderly care. After we introduced the details of this question, we will provide a good example for intervention in the interest of people living in smaller settlements with dementia. In the “Conclusion”we will summarize the main points, with onwards thoughts about further development

High T(c) superconductors: Technical and commercial challenge

Some basic questions of the way which leads from the discovery of high-T(c) superconductors to their applications is surveyed. The influence of high-T(c) superconducting technology on the industrial and social development is also briefly analyzed

Phase behaviors of binary mixtures composed of banana-shaped and calamitic mesogens

In this work, five mixtures with different concentrations of banana-shaped and calamitic compounds have been prepared and subsequently studied by polarizing optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction on non-oriented samples. The phase sequences and molecular parameters of the binary systems are presented

Thermal regimes of HTS cylinders operating in devices for fault current limitation

We reveal obstacles related to the application of HTS cylinders in current limiting devices based on the superconducting - normal state transition. It is shown that, at the critical current density achieved presently in bulk materials, and especially in BSCCO-2212, the required thickness of the cylinder wall in a full-scale inductive device achieves several centimeters. A simple mathematical model of the operation of an inductive fault current limiter (FCL) is used to show that such cylinders cannot be cooled in admissible time after a fault clearing and, hence, the inductive FCLs and current-limiting transformers employing BSCCO cylinders do not return to the normal operation in the time required. For the recovery even with a non-current pause in the circuit, the cylinders are needed with the critical current density by an order higher than the existed ones.Comment: 15 pages, 5 figure
