Exploring Perceptions and Practices in Organizing University Scientific Research

he development of transdisciplinary projects, crucial in the context of the complex challenges facing society. The organization of scientific research must prioritize the human factor and involve establishing the departments involved in university scientific research and the connections between them. This paper presents the perceptions of academic staff at a medical university regarding the organization and implementation of research within the university and the sources of research funding. The results highlight a clear orientation towards interdisciplinary research, albeit conducted within the organization itself, and a weak prioritization of fundamental research. Additionally, funding through international grants is seen as less accessible than national funding, despite the medical field being considered a priority in the funding programs. The research findings are relevant for decision-makers in the field of research funding at both the national and organizational levels

Comparative study on the lateral run-out of friction surfaces measurement of brake discs using a brake roller tester and a dial gauge

Brake system diagnosis is one of the most common and necessary technical operations applied to the car, regardless of its type and operating phases. Measuring the diagnostic parameters on a roller brake tester is a fast operation with no disassembly necessary. Measuring the run-out of friction surfaces of brake discs with a dial gauge is an action that requires more extensive preparatory operations but it offers a high accuracy of the results. The paper aims to analyze the correlation between the dial gauge measured values and the diagnostic obtained using the brake roller tester

Maîtrise des interfaces hétérogènes lors d'une opération de soudo-brasage (application au couple aluminium - magnésium)

Les travaux concernent l'étude de l assemblage dissimilaire d alliages d'aluminium (Al4043, Al5356) et de magnésium (RZ5, AZ31) par les procédés CMT et laser. La méthode des plans d'expériences statistiques a été mise en oeuvre afin d'analyser les effets des paramètres opératoires de soudage et la nature chimique des substrats et des fils d apport. Les effets chimiques, thermomécaniques et énergétiques ont été étudiés dans l'objectif de contrôler et de diminuer l épaisseur de la couche intermétallique formée entre la zone fondue et le métal de base et considérée comme critique pour la fissuration. La microstructure a été caractérisée par microscopie optique, MEB, EDS, rayons X, dureté et nano-indentation.La rupture dans la couche d interface est liée à la formation de composés intermétalliques (Al3Mg2, Al12Mg17), d'une dureté jusqu à 350 HV0,025, ainsi qu'à l'épaisseur de la couche et des éléments d'alliage. Le RZ5 a été assemblé avec succès avec le fil d apport Al4043 par les deux procédés CMT et laser.Suite à l analyse systématique des résultats, qui montre un meilleur comportement d Al4043/RZ5 qui contient du zirconium, l'ajout de cet élément dans la zone fondue a permis de montrer une amélioration de la qualité des joints par effet sur la microstructure.Pour l assemblage laser, une modification des conditions des vitesses de refroidissement par un pompage thermique plus rapide par l utilisation d un support de plaques de cuivre a induit une modification des couches d'interface et montre tout l'intérêt de maîtriser les conditions opératoires.

Reducing the environmental impact of surgery on a global scale: systematic review and co-prioritization with healthcare workers in 132 countries

Abstract Background Healthcare cannot achieve net-zero carbon without addressing operating theatres. The aim of this study was to prioritize feasible interventions to reduce the environmental impact of operating theatres. Methods This study adopted a four-phase Delphi consensus co-prioritization methodology. In phase 1, a systematic review of published interventions and global consultation of perioperative healthcare professionals were used to longlist interventions. In phase 2, iterative thematic analysis consolidated comparable interventions into a shortlist. In phase 3, the shortlist was co-prioritized based on patient and clinician views on acceptability, feasibility, and safety. In phase 4, ranked lists of interventions were presented by their relevance to high-income countries and low–middle-income countries. Results In phase 1, 43 interventions were identified, which had low uptake in practice according to 3042 professionals globally. In phase 2, a shortlist of 15 intervention domains was generated. In phase 3, interventions were deemed acceptable for more than 90 per cent of patients except for reducing general anaesthesia (84 per cent) and re-sterilization of ‘single-use’ consumables (86 per cent). In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for high-income countries were: introducing recycling; reducing use of anaesthetic gases; and appropriate clinical waste processing. In phase 4, the top three shortlisted interventions for low–middle-income countries were: introducing reusable surgical devices; reducing use of consumables; and reducing the use of general anaesthesia. Conclusion This is a step toward environmentally sustainable operating environments with actionable interventions applicable to both high– and low–middle–income countries

The importance of knowledge on the evaluation criteria in university scientific research projects

Scientific research is part of any university mission, at least of big universities, as it represents the complementary element required by the learning process. A learning process based on engendering knowledge is much more valuable and competitive than a learning process which is reduced to a mere transfer of knowledge from the teacher to the students. The important universities consider that “the development of scientific research as a fundamental competence is essential for survival in a more and more competitive environment on global level and that is why, research should be part of the university mission”1. This study aims to highlight how important it is for the university members to be aware of the evaluation criteria for the research projects they undertake. For this purpose, I have interviewed a number of 55 persons, project managers and team members in the projects from the “Research for Excellency” program and the National Plan of Research, Development and Innovation PN II 2007 – 2013. Out of the evaluation criteria for research, the most important ones were considered to be the scientific quality of the project and the quality of the human resources involved in the project.evaluation, evaluation criteria, scientific research, research project
