Naturalization of current social representations of children and adolescents

Convergen en esta investigación el interés de docentes de la facultad en proporcionar, instrumentos a partir del conocimiento científico, a los espacios de intervención sobre violencia en la infancia y adolescencia. Ello se conjuga con la preocupación de profesionales que se desempeñan laboralmente en relación a esta problemática, quienes observan la inexistencia de transformaciones paradigmáticas y conceptuales en los escenarios donde se producen las situaciones planteadas. Por lo anteriormente descrito se hace imperioso, analizar científicamente el tema, para proporcionar nuevos conocimientos; a fin de dar posibles respuestas A la sociedad e instituciones

A study of incremental sheet forming by using water jet

In this work, a variant of the incremental sheet forming (ISF) process, namely the incremental sheet forming by using water jet (ISF-WJ), was studied. In the investigation, an ISF-WJ prototype machine was designed and developed. Different design concepts of the water jet nozzle were proposed and evaluated to achieve the maximum forming pressure by performing computational fluid dynamic (CFD) simulations. Based on the forming pressure distribution modeled by CFD simulations, finite element (FE) models were developed to study the sheet deformation behavior under the ISF-WJ process condition. Based on the understanding gained from the numerical study, experiments were conducted to validate the ISF-WJ process and the developed prototype machine. The results suggest that ISF-WJ is a feasible process to achieve improved surface finish of thin sheet parts. In addition, this study has found that water jet pressure plays an important role in preventing sheet wrinkling and obtaining an accurate geometry of formed parts

Integrating nowcasting with crisis management and risk prevention in a transnational and interdisciplinary framework

This paper presents the recent WWRP/WMO Forecast Demonstration Project INCA-CE (INtegrating nowCAsting for Central Europe) co-funded by the European Union. Twenty-four partners of national and regional hydro-meteorological services, national and regional crisis and disaster management centers, and authorities for road management world-wide have participated in INCA-CE for international cooperation on nowcasting development, interdisciplinary cooperation for nowcasting applications and transnational cooperation for nowcasting services. INCA-CE has implemented the nowcasting system INCA at the project partner countries, applied INCA nowcasting in civil protection, operational hydrology and road safety, and improved the INCA system based on the end user's requirements. The main difference to other similar projects is that end user's involvement and the improvements involve the whole end user value chain. The project has developed several ideas for end users on how to interpret nowcasting products (INCA-SWING) and on how to deal with the nowcasting products in their working practice (INCA-MCPEX and ISW). INCA-CE is also oriented strongly to transnational cooperation in nowcasting development and implementation, in easy access to a homogenized set of nowcasting products from those INCA providers to end users in the region, and in the transnational use of real-time products by end users in cases of high impact weather across borders
