Estudi de la desnitrificació biològica per a aigües de consum

L’aigua és un element essencial en la vida dels éssers vius i dia a dia la disponibilitat d’aigua apte per al consum humà resulta més complicada. Aquest projecte es centra en un contaminant en particular de les aigües: els nitrats i la seva eliminació. S’ha dissenyat una instal·lació eliminadora de nitrats per a aigües de consum, de mides reduïdes i portàtil. Per això, primerament s’ha realitzat un estudi estadístic i geogràfic sobre la situació real a Catalunya enfront els nitrats, i tenint en compte els paràmetres establerts per la Llei, caracteritzar la instal·lació de tal manera que permeti maximitzar el número de possibles usuaris. Posteriorment, s’ha procedit al disseny exacte de la planta desnitrificadora

Re/Forming and Influencing Public Policy, Law and Religion: Missing From the Table

Women Law Deans, Gender Sidelining, and Presumptions of Incompetence

Discussions of presumptions of incompetence and gender sidelining all address challenges that women, especially women of color, face in leadership roles. This Article explores these topics in the context of law deans. This Article starts with updated data on the number of women law deans, including women of color, and demonstrates increased numbers of both women and women of color in deanships. It then shifts to plausible explanations for this growth: some optimistic and some more skeptical. It may be no coincidence that as the job became less desirable, women were appointed in greater numbers. Next, this Article provides narrative descriptions of women’s experiences in leadership, including experiences unique to women of color, such as common stories of presumptions of incompetence, and gender sidelining. This Part also dissects women deans’ experiences with presumptions of incompetence and gender sidelining, and explores relationship and family patterns revealed by survey responses. It also suggests potential trends and truths. The next Part of this Article develops ideas on how to continue increasing the number of women law deans and provide them support for success

Gendered Shades of Property: A Status Check on Gender, Race & Property

This article explores the relationship between gender, race and property.Women in the United States continue to be economically disadvantaged, and women of color are even more disadvantaged. This article will open with a review of laws, past and present, which have shaped women\u27s rights to own, manage and transfer property. It will then provide a status check of where women, including women of color, stand in the United States relative to the rest of the population vis-a-vis income and other indicators of economic well-being. The article will then discuss why economic inequality persists, trotting out the usual reasons of discrimination and women\u27s individual choice, and a number of less frequently discussed reasons. It will also question the validity of some typical justifications for the economic gap. The article closes by suggesting possibilities for decreasing the economic gap between men and women in the future

Student Associations and Entrepreneurial Intentions

Drawing on Ajzen’s (1991) theory of planned behavior and entrepreneurship education theory, this article examines the role of student associations in developing students’ entrepreneurial intentions at early educational stages. This study addresses the scarcity of research on extracurricular activities and on early university experiences of entrepreneurship education and their influence on entrepreneurial intentions. Based on survey data collected from 237 first-year undergraduate business school students and a PLS analysis, we provide empirical evidence on the value of student associations in increasing the entrepreneurial intentions of first-year students through their impact on entrepreneurial attitudes, which are instrumental in the formation of entrepreneurial intentions. The results have important implications both for educational practice and for public and private organizations interested in promoting entrepreneurship. They support the value of including practical training in education programs
