Abstract:
A laboratory scale plasma spout-fluid bed has been developed to calcine concentrated vanadium ore to extract vanadium in the form of sodium metavanadate. A 20-kW d.c. plasma torch was used with argon and nitrogen as the plasma gases. Air, the main fluidizing gas, permitted the fluidization of the vanadium concentrate within the bed and provided the oxygen for the roasting reaction. In addition, air injected tangentially into the spout region lowered the plasma gas temperatures to within the required roasting temperatures.
The bed stability and degree of vanadium recovery were analyzed as a function of bed temperature, time, and concentrate-to-salt ratio. It was shown that heating and reaction in the reactor occur primarily as the particles pass through the plasma spout. If spout temperatures are too high, melting and agglomeration of the particles occurs, leading to defluidization of the bed.
Conversion during batch operation, with sodium carbonate as the salt, was rather unsuccessful due to elutriation of the salt during heat-up. The highest conversions were observed in the fused and agglomerated particles of the bed. Simulated continuous operation of the bed however resulted in significantly higher conversion rates.

Abstract:
Craft villages played a significant role in the development of Vietnam’s rural economy for a long time. The range of products and production methods, including the processing of materials and chemicals, are now adapted to modern market requirements but environmental and labour protection issues are not adequately considered in the management of the craft villages. The reasons are various: poor education of responsible operators, deficient technical equipment or missing regulatory framework and implementation of existing regulations. The INHAND project (Integrated Water Management Concept for Craft Villages) started in 2011 and is studying the food processing village of Dai Lam located on the banks of the Cau River in the Bac Ninh province (about 40 km NE of the capital Hanoi). The household-scale business focus mainly on rice and cassava processing with 200 out of 1000 households producing alcohol from cassava and rice, 10 households producing tofu, and 30 households recycling aluminium. In addition, most households also raise pigs. The wastewater is released mostly untreated into the receiving stream. Within the framework of the INHAND project, four German und two Vietnamese partners will conduct a basic analysis inventory in the village with identification of suitable measure for an integrated, environmentally sound concept for the removal and reuse of all output streams. The second major task of the 3.5 years research project is the conceptualisation, development and implementation of pilot-scale treatment facilities in the village and the scientific monitoring of their planning and operation
Đã từ lâu, làng nghề đóng vai trò quan trọng trong quá trình phát triển kinh tế nông nghiệp tại Việt Nam. Các sản phẩm và phương thức sản xuất, bao gồm cả giai đoạn xử lý vật liệu và hóa chất, đã từng bước được cải tiến cho phù hợp với yêu cầu của thị trường hiện đại. Tuy nhiên, những yếu tố về môi trường và an toàn lao động vẫn chưa được quan tâm đúng mức tại các làng nghề do nhiều nguyên nhân như: trình độ của nhà sản xuất, vận hành còn hạn hẹp, thiếu trang thiết bị kỹ thuật, các quy chuẩn còn thiếu hoặc chưa được thi hành triệt để. Dự án INHAND (đề án xử lý nước tổng thể cho làng nghề) được khởi động từ năm 2011 và hiện đang tiến hành nghiên cứu làng nghề chế biến thực phẩm Đại Lâm ,nằm bên bờ song Cầu, thuộc tỉnh Bắc Ninh, cách Hà Nội 40 km. Mô hình kinh tế hộ gia đình tại làng chủ yếu tập trung vào chế biến gạo và sắn: 200 trong số 1000 hộ gia đình nấu rượu gạo và sắn, 10 hộ sản xuất đậu phụ, 30 hộ tái chế nhôm. Ngoài ra, gần như tất cả các hộ đều có nuôi lợn. Nước thải của làng được dẫn trực tiếp ra các khối nước mở, gần như không qua xử lý. Trong khuôn khổ dự án INHAND, bốn đối tác Đức và hai đối tác Việt Nam sẽ tiến hành phân tích hiện trạng môi trường của làng để tìm ra những biện pháp thích hợp nhằm xử lý và tái sử dụng các dòng thải. Nhiệm vụ thứ hai trong thời gian 3,5 năm của dự án là lập ra đề án, phát triển và triển khai các trạm xử lý ở quy mô thử nghiệm, đồng thời quan trắc khoa học các quá trình thiết kế và vận hành

Abstract:
Interest in non-traditional fuel sources, carbon dioxide sequestration, and cleaner combustion has brought attention on gasification to supplement fossil fueled energy, particularly by a fluidized bed. Developing tools and methods to predict operation and performance of gasifiers will lead to more efficient gasifier designs. This research investigates bed fluidization and particle decomposition for fluidized materials. Experimental methods were developed to model gravimetric and energetic response of thermally decomposing materials. Gravimetric, heat flow, and specific heat data were obtained from a simultaneous thermogravimetric analyzer (DSC/TGA). A method was developed to combine data in an energy balance and determine an optimized heat of decomposition value. This method was effective for modeling simple reactions but not for complex decomposition. Advanced method was developed to model mass loss using kinetic reactions. Kinetic models were expanded to multiple reactions, and an approach was developed to identify suitable multiple reaction mechanisms. A refinement method for improving the fit of kinetic parameters was developed. Multiple reactions were combined with the energy balance, and heats of decomposition determined for each reaction. From this research, this methodology can be extended to describe more complex thermal decomposition. Effects of particle density and diameter on the minimum fluidization velocity were investigated, and results compared to empirical models. Effects of bed mass on pressure drop through fluidized beds were studied. A method was developed to predict hydrodynamic response of binary beds from the response of each particle type and mass. Resulting pressure drops of binary mixtures resembled behavior superposition for individual particles.

Abstract:
Objetivou-se neste trabalho avaliar a influência do tempo de detenção hidráulica (TDH) na remoção do surfactante aniônico, alquilbenzeno linear sulfonado (LAS), de água residuária de lavanderia, em dois reatores de leito fluidificado (RLF) operados em TDH de 8 horas (RLF1) e 12 horas (RLF2). Os reatores foram inoculados com biomassa de lodos ativados e foi investigado a influência da adição de nitrato e etanol na degradação do LAS e seus impactos na comunidade microbiana. Para tal fim, o trabalho foi desenvolvido nas fases que se seguem: caracterização da água residuária de lavanderia comercial, ensaio de degradação desnitrificante de LAS, operação dos reatores de leito fluidificado, planejamento experimental de condições ótimas de degradação de surfactante em reatores em batelada e caracterização microbiana do consórcio microbiano do RLF1 e RLF2 por meio do Illumina MiSeq. Verificou-se considerável remoção de LAS (77%) no ensaio de degradação sob condição desnitrificante nos reatores em batelada com 21 mgLAS/L e adição de 100 mgNO3-/L. Ao longo de 436 dias de operação, verificou-se elevada remoção de LAS em RLF1 e RLF2, todavia, observou-se diferença significativa; ou seja, maior remoção global de LAS (99±3%) para 22,5±5,9 mg /L afluente em RLF2. A adição de etanol influenciou, notadamente, a remoção de LAS em RLF1, por outro lado a adição de nitrato exerceu influência na remoção de LAS em ambos os reatores. Na realização do planejamento experimental, em reatores em batelada, pode-se obter condições ótimas de degradação de LAS, verificando-se os valores críticos para etanol de 97,5 mg /L, e de 87,5 mg /L para nitrato. Para as seis etapas de operação foram identificados gêneros relacionados à desnitrificação e a degradação de LAS. Para Etapa I, foram identificadas bactérias relacionadas com a redução de nitrato, dentre eles Flavobacterium, Sphingobium e Xanthobacter. Para as etapas com adição de surfactante (II, III, IV, V e VI) identificou-se Dechloromonas, Zoogloea, Novosphingobium, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter e Desulfobulbus, provavelmente relacionadas à degradação de LAS.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of hydraulic retention time (HRT ) on anionic surfactant; linear alkyl benzene sulphonate (LAS) from laundry wastewater in two fluidized bed reactors (FBR) operated in HRT of 8 hours (FBR1) and 12 hours (FBR2). The reactors were inoculated with activated sludge and the influence of nitrate and ethanol addition on LAS removal was studied with subsequent impact on microbial diversity. The study was conducted in following phases; laundry wastewater characterization, denitrifying degradation potential of LAS, fluidized bed reactor operation under specified conditions, central composite design, and determination of microbial shift between biofilm of FBR1 and FBR2 through Mi-Seq Illumima®. Higher LAS removal (77%) was verified in denitrifying potential degrading of LAS using batch reactors feed with 21 mg LAS /L and 150mg NO3-/L. Great LAS removal efficiency was observed for 436 days, however significant notice was observed for global LAS removal between FBR1 and FBR2, i.e. greater LAS removal in FBR2 (99±3% for 22,5 ±5,9 mg LAS/L) than FBR1 (93 ±12% for 20,6 ±4,4 mg LAS /L). The ethanol addition significantly influenced FBR1 efficiency while nitrate addition improves LAS removal in both reactors. Central composite design resulted into optimal values for LAS removal (94%) in addition to 97,5 mg/L ethanol and 87,5 mg/L nitrate. Microbial shift showed genus abundance related to denitrification and LAS degradation. In Step I denitrifying bacteria Flavobacterium, Shingobium and Xanthobacter were identified. For Steps with laundry wastewater addition, Dechloromonas, Zoogloea, Novosphingobium, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter and Desulfobulbus, were identified, probably, related to LAS degradation.

Abstract:
O presente trabalho refere-se ao desenvolvimento de grânulos a partir de produto seco de A. satureioides obtido por spray drying, em escala semi-industrial, visando a superar as principais limitações tecnológicas apresentadas tais como a higroscopia excessiva do produto, baixa densidade, pequeno tamanho de partícula e instabilidade dos constituintes flavonoídicos frente à luz. Dois métodos foram empregados para a granulação: granulação em leito fluidizado e granulação via seca por desagregação. Estes métodos apresentaram, respectivamente, 15 e 60 % de rendimento do processo, levando a escolha da granulação seca para a produção dos grânulos do produto seco. A granulação seca resultou em grânulos assimétricos, de faixa granulométrica situada entre 0,3 mm e 1,9 mm e de superfície irregular e rugosa. O revestimento destes grânulos foi realizado em leito fluidizado, utilizando três tipos de polímeros, Eudragit® L 30D, Opadry® II e Opadry® AMB.O rendimento médio com o Opadry® II foi de 72 %. O revestimento com Opadry® AMB foi realizado utilizando-se um baixo e alto fluxo do líquido de revestimento, obtendo-se rendimentos de 75 e 85 %, respectivamente. A higroscopia dos grânulos foi avaliada em ambientes com umidade relativa controlada de 65 ou 99 %, comparando-se o comportamento dos grânulos revestidos com o dos grânulos sem a presença de revestimento. Ambos os filmes com Opadry® não protegeram os grânulos frente à umidade. As fotomicrografias por MEV, destes grânulos, revelaram que, ambos os tipos de revestimento, apresentaram superfícies rugosas e com presença de poros explicando, parcialmente, a falta de proteção contra a umidade. O estudo da fotoproteção indica, em um primeiro momento, que o filme de revestimento promove a proteção dos flavonóides frente a ação da luz. A avaliação preliminar da liberação dos flavonóides, a partir dos grânulos, foi realizada em células de fluxo Desaga® com os grânulos sem revestimento e revestidos com Opadry® AMB. A água não demonstrou ser o meio mais favorável para este ensaio. Em meio com pH 1,2 contendo 1 % de laurilsulfato de sódio, os flavonóides quercetina, luteolina e 3-Ometilquercetina foram liberados, respectivamente, após 90 minutos, em 70, 83 e 70 % a partir dos grânulos não revestidos, e 52, 54 e 45 % a partir dos grânulos revestidos com Opadry® AMB, denotando a influência do filme de revestimento sobre o perfil de liberação dos flavonóides. Em seu conjunto, os resultados obtidos nesta primeira abordagem deste tema abrem diversas perspectivas para oaprofundamento do estudo e desenvolvimento de granulados de A. satureioides, a partir de produto seco por spray drying.
The present work was designed to develop granules from Achyrocline satureioides spray dried powders in order to overcome the main technological limitations presented by this herbal raw material: high hygroscopy, low density, small particle diameter and flavonoid sensibility against light. Two methods were employed for granulation, fluidized bed and dry granulation. These methods presented, respectively, 15 and 60 % of process yield, leading to the selection of dry granulation for preparing the granules. By this method, the granules showed 0,3 to 1,9 mm particle mean diameter, rough surface and irregular morphology. For coating the granules, three types of polymers were employed, Eudragit® L30D, Opadry® II and Opadry® AMB, in fluidized bed. The first one resulted in atomizer obstruction becoming non viable its employment. The mean yield coating obtained with Opadry® II was 72 %. The Opadry® AMB was sprayed in low and high rates yielding, respectively, 75 % and 85 %. The hygroscopicity of the granules was evaluated in controlled conditions of 65 % or 99 % RH, comparing the behavior of the coated granules which that presented by non-coated particles. Both Opadry® coatings did not protect the granules against the humidity. The SEM photomicrographis of these granules revealed that both types of coating presented rough and porous surface explaining partially, at least, the lack of protection against the humidity. The preliminary photostability assay indicated, in a first view, that the coating promotes the flavonoid protection. The flavonoid release from the granules was performed in Desaga® flow cell from the non-coated granules and from Opadry® AMB coated granules. Water demonstrated not to be an appropriate media for both tested granules. In pH 1.2 media containing 1 % of sodium lauryl sulfate, the flavonoids quercetin, luteolin and 3-O-methylquercetin were, respectively, released, after 90 minutes, in 70 %, 83 % and 70 % from non coated granules and in 52 %, 54 % and 45 % from Opadry® AMB coated granules, denoting the influence of the coating on the flavonoid release profile. Taken together, the results of this first approach openmay perspectives for more detailed studies on Achyrocline satureioides granules from the corresponding spray dried powders.

Abstract:
The pulp and paper mill requires a lot of water during the production. Stora Enso Skoghall requires about 33m3 of water for 2204 lb produced carbon or paper. Before the wastewater returns to the recipient, the water must be purified from organic material. Organic material is naturally found in wood, and if a high level of organic material is added to the recipient it will lead to deficiency of oxygen in lakes. In order to avoid deficiencies of oxygen in lakes, the wastewater must go through a biological treatment, Stora Ensos biological treatment is consisting a long-term aerated active sludge, LAS, which is similar to a large pond. During a period, Stora Enso Skoghall constructed a pre-treatment step fort their LAS which is a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor, MBBR. Stora Enso has been struggling to aerate the wastewater in the LAS, which has affected the production of the industry badly. The purpose of building the MBBR is to facilitate the LAS, in order to deliver full production. The biological treatment requires a lot of energy to operate the aeration system, about 50 percent of the total energy demand for a treatment plant goes to the biological treatment.   The purpose of this study is to examine the impact on the LAS if a MBBR-process is connected as a pre-treatment step. The aim of this study is to examine how the new biological treatment effects the energy demand considering aeration, compared to before the MBBR was connected. Wastewater samples were collected at Stora Enso Skoghall and taken to a laboratory at Karlstads University for analysis and tests. The wastewater samples have been studied regarding its content of TOC and how it affects the possibility of aerating the water. The a- and b-values, and as well the theoretical oxygen demand, were experimentally determined in cylinder aerators that contains 30 liters. The energy use for aeration of the MBBR and the LAS has been estimated. In order to compare if the new biological treatment effects the ability of purification in the existing LAS and if the energy demand changes, wastewater samples were taken before and after the MBBR was connected.   The result of this study shows that the MBBR has a positive impact on the existing LAS at Stora Enso Skoghall. There is a higher reduction of COD and the oxygen uptake capacity is better in the LAS, compared to before the MBBR was connected as a pre-treatment step. The total energy demand has increased with 58 percent, compared to the results before the MBBR were connected. The wastewater from the CTMP production contains high levels of TOC. It contains high levels of surfactants and high ionic strength, which usually worsen the ability of aeration. The flow into the MBBR contains mainly wastewater from the CTMP and the aeration tests showed that only 1-6 percent of the oxygen dissolved in it. As a result, the estimated energy demand remains very high. In conclusion, with the new biological treatment system the industry can now deliver full production of pulp and cardboard, while the LAS gets enough oxygen to effectively purify the wastewater. The MBBR relives the LAS through reduce the right amount of COD so the LAS can aerate the wastewater more easily. Moreover, the total energy demand of the biological treatment has increased when it comes to aerate the wastewater due to the fact that the production of pulp and cardboard has increased with 46 percent.

Abstract:
Des phénomènes de fluidisation de billes magnétiques apparaissent à l'échelle micrométrique au sein du système de lit fluidisé microfluidique. On obtient un fonctionnement en flux continu à basse pression de travail avec un étroit contact liquide/solide et une recirculation constante des billes, des caractéristiques avantageuses pour des applications dédiées à la pré-concentration de cibles biologiques. La caractérisation du système physique a montré l'influence de paramètres tels que la géométrie de la chambre ou la distribution du champ magnétique, leur optimisation étant nécessaire pour obtenir des phénomènes de fluidisation à cette échelle et améliorer le mélange et la distribution des billes. De plus, le potentiel du lit fluidisé comme plateforme pour des bio-essais analytiques a été exploré avec succès lors d'applications biologiques: 1) la pré-concentration de bio-markers de la maladie d'Alzheimer et leur marquage in situ pour un future couplage avec des techniques de détection sensibles; 2) la détection de bactéries sans besoin de marquage préalable à travers une immuno-capture suivie d'une culture donnant lieu à des changements physiques du support fluidisé; 3) l'extraction d'ADN contenant un gène cible et son ultérieur amplification enzymatique sur la surface des billes, suivie d'une détection multiplexée des mutations présentes par un système de microarray. Ainsi, le lit fluidisé magnétique rend possible des applications au de-là d'un simple système de pré-concentration, permettant son utilisation comme une plateforme efficace de biologie moléculaire allant jusqu'à l'utilisation des propriétés autorégulatrices inhérentes au système comme mécanisme de détection
With the use of an external magnetic field and magnetic microbeads, the microfluidic magnetic fluidized bed system enables fluidization phenomena at the microscale. This results in flow-through operations at low driving pressures with intimate liquid/solid contact and a continuous beads recirculation, interesting for efficient biological target preconcentration applications. The physical system has been characterized, showing the importance of chamber angle of aperture and height confinement as well as magnetic field distribution parameters, to obtain fluidization and further enhance mixing and maximize beads density. Further, the potential of the fluidized bed as a platform for analytical bioassays has been successfully explored with a series of biologically relevant applications: (1) the preconcentration of rare Alzheimer’s biomarkers together with their in situ fluorescence labeling for future enhanced detection with hyphenated techniques; (2) the label-free sensitive detection of bacteria in liquid food samples through the specific immunocapture and on-chip culture of these microorganisms and the resulting physical changes induced in the fluidized support; (3) the gene-specific extraction of DNA and its subsequent enzymatic amplification on the surface of the beads, coupled to a microarray detection system for a multiplexed detection of cancer-inducing mutations. These results show that the applications of the magnetic fluidized bed go beyond its initial conception as a dynamical affinity-based concentrator, serving as an efficient platform for molecular biology protocols and even making use of its inherent auto-regulating properties as a detection mechanism

Abstract:
The PhD work aligns technological opportunities with self-selecting motivated participants, investigating their desire to monitor wildlife within their custody. It used an ethnographic and user- centred design approach with amateur beekeepers. The work built reciprocal interest in data which users could gather from self-assembled monitoring tools. This PhD explores the relationship between Open Design and Citizen Science, testing it ‘in-the-wild’ through the Bee Lab kit. The development of the kit and territory research was carried out in close collaboration with a local beekeeping community based in the South East of England. The work engaged with the British Beekeepers Association (BBKA), a Citizen Science stakeholder and technology provider Technology Will Save Us (TWSU), informing the project at each stage. The PhD territory was highlighted in scoping design workshops with the public (Phillips. R, Baurley. S, Silve. S) and developed into: cultural probes deployed nationally investigating beekeepers’ ‘making’ activities (Phillips. R, Baurley. S, Silve. S 2013b), ethnographic studies identifying beekeepers’ product creations and re-appropriations for beekeeping praxis, participatory design workshops establishing lay users’ ‘technologically enabled conversations with bees’ (Phillips. R, Ford. Y, Sadler. K, Silve. S, Baurley. S 2013), technology kit assembly workshops testing kit design and competence of lay users (Phillips, Blum et al. 2014), and mental models of creating instructional content (Phillips, Robert., Lockton, Dan., Baurley, Sharon & Silve, Sarah 2013).

Abstract:
Little is known about the behavioral patterns of honey bee queens. To determine if mated honey bee queens possess diel rhythmicity in behavior, we observed them in glass-sided observation hives using three types of observation regimes: focal studies consisting of 2-hour and 24-hour continuous observations as well as scan-sampling of multiple queens. All behaviors (active: walking, inspecting, egg-laying, begging for food, feeding, and grooming self; inactive: standing) occurred at all times of day and night, but no queen showed consistent diel rhythmicity in any of the individual behaviors. There were no consistent diel differences in active versus inactive behaviors or the number of bees in the queen's retinue. This arrhythmicity was unchanged despite daily changes in both light and temperature levels. The arrhythmic behavior observed by most of the honey bee queens inside the colony appears to be similar to that exhibited by worker bees before they initiate foraging behavior.

Abstract:
O Alquilbenzeno Linear Sulfonado (LAS) é um surfactante aniônico considerado prioridade de risco ambiental entre os contaminantes emergentes atuais. Estudos anteriores reportaram a degradação anaeróbia de LAS por co-digestão da água residuária de lavanderia comercial e co-substratos sintéticos (extrato de levedura e etanol), em reatores em escala de bancada. Todavia, na literatura ainda são limitados os estudos envolvendo co-substratos economicamente viáveis, como o esgoto doméstico. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a eficiência de remoção do LAS, de água residuária de lavanderia comercial em co-digestão com esgoto doméstico. O reator de leito granular expandido (EGSB) escala piloto de 62,0 L foi operado em condição mesofílica, em TDH de 40 h, por 480 dias. O reator foi inoculado com 12,0 L de lodo proveniente de reator UASB usado no tratamento de água residuária de abatedouro de aves. Na primeira etapa, de adaptação, com duração de 60 dias, o reator foi alimentado apenas com esgoto doméstico. Em seguida, o reator foi alimentado com água residuária de lavanderia comercial diluída em esgoto doméstico para obtenção de concentrações de LAS afluente de 5 ± 4; 19 ± 10 e 36 ± 19 mg L-1, nas etapas II, III e IV, respectivamente. Nestas etapas o reator foi monitorado por 60, 270 e 90 dias. Verificou-se diminuição da eficiência de remoção de matéria orgânica de 73 ± 23 % na etapa de adaptação, para 61 ± 25%, 50 ± 15% e 44 ± 15%, respectivamente, para as etapas II, III e IV. Assim como, verificou-se diminuição da eficiência de remoção do LAS de 73 ± 31% para 55 ± 29% e 32 ± 17% nas três últimas etapas. Verificou-se aumento significativo de sulfeto da etapa II para a etapa III e IV, respectivamente de 8 ± 2 mg L-1 para 29 ± 12 mg L-1 e 31 ± 5 mg L-1, respectivamente. Foi realizada a caracterização taxonômica da biomassa do leito do lodo do reator EGSB ao final de cada etapa experimental, sendo identificadas bactérias semelhantes a Bellinea (domínio Bacteria) e Methanosaeta (domínio Archaea), as quais foram as de maior abundância relativa ao longo de toda operação. A tecnologia empregada para remoção do surfactante foi adequada para concentrações afluente de até 20 mgLAS L-1. Aclimatação da biomassa microbiana foi observada, após longo período e exposição aos compostos recalcitrantes da água residuária de lavanderia.
Classified as an emergent contaminant, Alkylbenzene Linear Sulfonate (LAS) is an anionic surfactant of high priority given its environmental risk. Previous studies reported LAS anaerobic degradation from laundry wastewater in co-digestion with synthetic substrates (such as methanol, ethanol and yeast extract). However, studies with more economic viable substrates as domestic sewage still lacking. This study assessed LAS removal from laundry wastewater diluted in domestic sewage, using an Expanded Bed Granular Sludge (EGSB) pilot scale reactor. The reactor was kept in mesophilic temperature, with 62,0 L total volume and it was operated with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 40 h. The inoculum was 12,0 L of sludge from an UASB used on a poultry slaughterhouse wastewater treatment plant. On the first stage, of adaptation, the reactor was fed only with domestic sewage for 60 days. Then, commercial laundry wastewater was diluted in domestic sewage to obtain LAS affluent concentrations of 5 ± 4; 19 ± 10 and 36 ± 19 mg L-1, on stages II, III and IV, respectively. These stages lasted for 60, 270 and 90 days. The increase of commercial laundry wastewater proportion on fed resulted in lower organic matter removal efficiencies. These parameter decreased from 73 ± 23% on adaptation, to 61 ± 25%, 50 ± 15% and 39 ± 23% on following stages. As well as LAS removal efficiencies that dropped from 73 ± 31% to 55 ± 29% and 44 ± 15 % on three last stages. Sulphide production enhanced from stage II (8 ± 2 mg L-1) to stage III (29 ± 12 mg L-1) and remained 31 ± 5 mg L-1 on stage IV. Taxonomic characterization of granular sludge biomass in the end of each stage was performed and genders similar to Bellinea (Bacteria domain) and Methanosaeta (Archae domain) were the ones with higher relative abundance in all stages. The technology applied was suitable for anaerobic surfactant removal with LAS affluent concentration of 20 mg L-1. Acclimation of microbial biomass was observed after long exposure of microbial community to recalcitrant compounds from laundry wastewater.

Abstract:
Over the last few years, policies have been introduced in the UK which aim to improve organ transplantation rates by changing the way that potential organ donors are treated before death. Patients incapacitated due to catastrophic brain injury may now undergo ante-mortem donor optimisation procedures to facilitate deceased organ donation. As I identify in this thesis, the most significant ethical and legal problem with these policies is that they are not based on what the patient would have chosen for themselves in the specific circumstances. The policies identify and treat patients meeting certain clinical criteria as a group rather than the individuals, with their own viewpoints, that the law on best interests requires. They equate registration on the Organ Donation Register with ante-mortem donor optimisation procedures being in their best interests, despite registrants having neither been informed about nor given consent to ante-mortem interventions. The overarching claim I make in this thesis is that a system of specific advance consent is needed to provide a clear and unequivocal legal justification for ante-mortem donor optimisation procedures. The ethical foundation for this claim is autonomy, and this is the central theme running through all six chapters. I argue that autonomy should be incorporated into donor optimisation policy to promote the dignity and integrity of potential organ donors and to safeguard trust in the organ donation programme. I argue that a system of specific advance consent is needed as part of the duty of care owed to registrants on the Organ Donor Register and to facilitate the determination of the best interests of the potential organ donor. I argue that the state has not established the necessity of the current policy of non-consensual donor optimisation procedures and that they are under an ethical and legal obligation to introduce an autonomy-based framework for ante-mortem interventions to facilitate organ donation.

Abstract:
L’État haïtien, pour faire face à l’insécurité alimentaire que connaît sa population (à croissance rapide et à faible revenu), s’appuie particulièrement sur la Vallée du département de l’Artibonite qui constitue depuis toujours le véritable grenier agricole du pays, en fournissant, à elle seule, plus de 80% de la production rizicole nationale. Cette production agricole assure non seulement les besoins alimentaires de la population locale, mais également ceux particuliers des départements voisins (Ouest, Nord et Centre).L’irrigation de cette vaste plaine agricole (32400 ha de terres agricoles irrigables) est garantie, à plus de 75%, par le réseau d’irrigation établi en rive Gauche de l'ouvrage-partiteur de Canneau, alimenté par un Canal principal (CMRG) ayant un débit nominal de 40 m3/s.Néanmoins, ce Partiteur, source d’approvisionnement exclusive du CMRG, est lui-même régulé par le Barrage-réservoir de Péligre qui se trouve à 70 km plus en amont sur le fleuve de l’Artibonite. En termes hydrauliques, nos travaux ont d'abord examiné la situation du réservoir de Péligre. Alors qu'au moment de la construction il était initialement prévu d’y stocker 607 Mm3, il ne reste plus aujourd'hui qu'à peine 40% de cette capacité utile, en raison des dépôts sédimentaires qui se sont constitués année après année derrière le barrage.Cette sédimentation spectaculaire (due à l’érosion des bassins versants amont fort dégradés), combinée aux déficits pluviométriques, provoque en période d’étiage une rareté d’eau, des lâchers insuffisants et donc des déficits en eau utile envoyée en amont de ce Partiteur de Canneau. Cela impacte significativement le réseau d’irrigation aval, dont le CMRG. Nos travaux ont montré que la situation est d'autant plus critique que les débits eux-mêmes, en amont comme en aval du Partiteur, sont en fait très mal connus et devraient faire l'objet d'approches méthodologiques plus rigoureuses que celles déployées sur site actuellement.Aussi, face à ces constats, de nouvelles règles de distribution de l’eau s’imposent, pour continuer à irriguer et espérer obtenir un rendement agricole acceptable (souhaitable).Notre travail s'est ainsi donné pour objectif de contribuer à la mise en place des nouvelles règles de gestion de l’eau (répartition) au sein du réseau d’irrigation alimenté par le CMRG, pour continuer à fournir l’eau à l’irrigant en quantité acceptable (et connue). Cette amélioration de gestion a été envisagée à la fois en amont et en aval de ce réseau d’irrigation, particulièrement en ses différents nœuds-clés (Canal principal et Canal secondaire).La démarche méthodologique adoptée pour relever ce défi majeur s’appuie notamment sur un système d’information hydro-morpho-sédimentaire actualisé et de qualité. Il s’agit d’une base de données, riche en observations de hauteurs d’eau (lues aux stations limnimétriques), vitesses de surface au flotteur, champs de vitesse explorés au moyen d’un courantomètre et en données bathymétriques et granulométriques des tronçons des canaux étudiés, appréciées respectivement au moyen d’un GPS différentiel et du tamisage à sec.Les résultats fort encourageants obtenus permettent d'acquérir une meilleure compréhension du système et une amélioration particulière du réseau d’irrigation en rive gauche du Partiteur de Canneau. En s’appuyant sur les historiques de sédimentation du Lac-réservoir de Péligre (de 1960 à 2016), nous présentons un document de synthèse sur la sédimentation du Lac-réservoir de Péligre. Ce document met notamment en exergue le taux de sédimentation sévère de ce dernier (5.47 Mm3/an), qui continue d’augmenter encore aujourd’hui, ainsi que les conséquences de celui-ci sur les débits turbinés et la disponibilité de l’eau en amont du Partiteur de Canneau.Nous mettons également en évidence les formes irrégulières (Lit-non prismatique) des tronçons des canaux étudiés, via une vue axonométrique des profils en travers (issus de l’étude bathymétrique) des canaux d’irrigation en terre battue étudiés. Puis, nous présentons de manière détaillée le caractère très hétérogène des dépôts sédimentaires de ces derniers, à partir d’une analyse des représentations en Log-Probit des résultats du tamisage, construites au moyen du logiciel GrandPlots.En nous appuyant sur les mesures expérimentales des contraintes de Reynolds et des profils instantanés de vitesse (pris à intervalle de 64 ms), tirés de la base de données EPFL, nous avons montré qu’il faut absolument travailler dans les 18% inférieurs de la colonne d’eau (z/h<0.18) et en mode déficitaire, dans un écoulement turbulent comme celui-là, pour extraire de façon représentative et pertinente une pente expérimentale u*/, comme indicateur de u*.À l’issue d’un examen détaillé de la distribution verticale de la vitesse au canal secondaire FNE, nous validons un DMLWL (Dip-Modified-log-wake-law) à la fois en amont et en aval du réseau. Nous montrons que ceci permet de modéliser le Dip-phenomenon observé systématiquement au sein des profils explorés in situ. Nous proposons une relation entre le coefficient d’inégale répartition de la vitesse à la verticale αv (de Prony) et l’aspect ratio (W/h) pour tout le réseau d’irrigation étudié ;ceci afin d’obtenir une vitesse débitante (Ū), simplement à partir d’une prise de vitesse au flotteur, dans l’axe central d’écoulement.À partir des débits quantifiés à la section de référence du CMRG, via l’équation de continuité (Q=AŪ), nous fournissons un Abaque, diagramme à 3 entrées (débit (Qp), charge amont (H0) et ouverture de vanne (hv)), permettant aux vanniers de connaitre les débits au pont de fer correspondant aux différentes ouvertures de vanne et celui pour lequel le trop-plein (retour des eaux excédentaires vers le fleuve de l’Artibonite) commence à fonctionner.À l’égard des opérateurs locaux et gestionnaires du système, nous mettons enfin à disposition, des méthodes/outils simples et efficaces leur permettant de quantifier finement le débit au Canal principal en amont ainsi qu’au canal secondaire en aval, simplement à partir d’une mesure de hauteur d’eau (h) et de vitesse de surface au flotteur (Us).

Abstract:
Nesse trabalho foi estudado a degradação anaeróbia do alquilbenzeno linear sulfonado (LAS), um surfactante amplamente utilizado na fabricação de detergentes e presente em esgoto doméstico e águas residuárias industriais. Para isso foi utilizado reator anaeróbio de leito fluidificado em escala de bancada (1,2 L) preenchido com material suporte para imobilização da biomassa. Quatro diferentes suportes foram testados previamente em reatores de leito fluidificado em menor escala (350 ml): carvão ativado (R1), argila expandida (R2), pérolas de vidro (R3) e areia (R4). Todos os reatores foram inoculados com lodo proveniente de reator UASB utilizado no tratamento de dejetos de suinocultura e alimentados com substrato sintético acrescido de LAS. Os reatores foram mantidos a 30°C e operados com tempo de detenção hidráulica (TDH) de 18 horas. Foi possível constatar que os quatro reatores foram aptos na remoção de matéria orgânica (acima de 84%) e LAS (acima de 81%), respectivamente para concentração inicial média de 550 mg/L e 16,5 mg/L. No entanto, carvão ativado e argila expandida sofreram processo de fragmentação durante a operação do reator. Assim, areia foi o material escolhido para preencher o reator em escala de bancada devido aos bons resultados de remoção do LAS (99%), menor custo e facilidade de aquisição, quando comparada a pérola de vidro. Após 270 dias de operação, com concentrações crescentes de LAS e média de 32,3 mg/L, constatou-se que o reator em escala de bancada removeu 93% de LAS. Todos os suportes adsorveram pouco LAS (máximo de 0,43 mgLAS/gargila) não interferindo significativamente no processo de remoção biológica. Exames microscópicos realizados durante a operação dos reatores mostraram que estiveram presentes microrganismos com morfologias semelhantes a espiroquetas, bacilos, bactérias filamentosas e cocos, entre outros. A biomassa presente no final da operação do reator em escala de bancada e nos reatores menores preenchidos com pérolas de vidro (R3) e areia (R4) foi submetida à técnica de clonagem e sequenciamento do gene 16S RNAr para o Domínio Bacteria. Observou-se que os reatores apresentaram clones relacionados a diversos Filos como Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia e Firmicutes, entre outros.
This work presents the anaerobic degradation of linear alkylbenzene sulphonate (LAS), a surfactant widely used in the production of detergents and present in domestic and industrial wastewaters. It was used an anaerobic fluidized bed reactor in bench scale (1,2L) filled with support material for biomass immobilization. Four different supports were previously tested in small scale fluidized bed reactors (350 ml): activated charcoal (R1), expanded clay (R2), glass beads (R3) and sand (R4). All reactors were inoculated with sludge from a UASB reactor treating swine wastewater and were fed with a synthetic substrate supplemented with LAS. The reactors were kept at 30ºC and operated with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 18 h. It was possible to note that the four tested reactors were able to remove organic matter (higher than 84%) and LAS (higher than 81%), respectively, to initial mean value of 550 mg/L and 16.5 mg/L. However, activated charcoal and expanded clay both produced shearing during reactor operation. Thus, sand was the chosen material to fill the bench scale reacto because of good results of LAS removal (99%) and smaller cost and affordability compared to glass beads. After 270 days of operation, with crescent LAS concentrations and average of 32,3 mg/L, it was found that the bench scale reactor was able to remove LAS in 93%. All supports adsorb a few LAS (maximun of 0.43 mgLAS/gclay). This value does not interfere in biologic removal process. Microscopic tests done during the reactor´s operation presented microorganisms with morphologies similar to spirochetes, bacillus, filamentous, cocci and others. 16S rRNA gene sequencing and phylogenetic analysis of samples from the bench scale reactor and smaller reactor filled with glass beads (R3) and sand (R4) revealed that these reactors gave rise to broad microbial diversity, with microorganisms belonging to the phyla Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria, Verrucomicrobia and Firmicutes, and others.

Abstract:
La société médiévale accorde une importance particulière à la vérité. La foi en un Dieu omniscient dont le Verbe est vérité garantit cette attitude : pensées et paroles se doivent d’être cohérentes et dénuées de fausseté. Les situations mensongères, nombreuses dans les récits courtois, vont à l’encontre de cette exigence morale. Elles remettent en cause le monde idéal et volontiers manichéen de la littérature courtoise, brouillant les oppositions nettes entre dissimulation et révélation, hypocrisie et sincérité. La dimension généralement discursive du mensonge interroge le travail de l’auteur à une époque où la littérature romane prend conscience de ses enjeux. La question du langage et de son adéquation à la vérité est notamment au cœur des préoccupations. Le statut de la fiction, plus problématique encore, entraîne par ailleurs une tension entre la revendication constante de l’authenticité du récit et la fictionnalisation de la figure de l’auteur, moins poète que conteur
In Medieval society the truth was held in the highest esteem. The belief in an omniscient God whose Word is truth guarantees this conviction: thoughts and speeches must be coherent and free of falsehood. The deceptive situations, abundant in courtly narratives are a direct contradiction of this moral call. They challenge the ideal and gladly Manichean world of courtly literature, blurring the clear oppositions between dissimulation and revelation, hypocrisy and sincerity. The usually discursive aspect of lie questions the author’s work in a period where the Romanic literature becomes aware of its stakes. The matter of language and its adequacy with truth is a fundamental concern. Furthermore, the status of fiction, even more troublesome, gives way to a constant tension between the authenticity of the narrative and the fictionalisation of the author figure, appearing less a poet and more a storyteller

Abstract:
En Tunisie, les problèmes des inondations et du transport sédimentaire se posent de façon critique, en particulier au niveau du bassin versant de la Medjerda. En effet, depuis la mise en service du barrage de Sidi Salem (1981) sur le bassin de la Medjerda, des modifications du régime d’écoulement en aval sont apparues sous la forme d’une diminution de la débitance. Cette diminution a eu pour conséquence d’abaisser la capacité de l’Oued à transporter les sédiments et de favoriser leur dépôt. Ceci a provoqué un engraissement du lit, et par conséquent, une occurrence accrue des inondations. Le recours à la modélisation numérique s’avère nécessaire pour mieux comprendre ce risque. Une première partie de ce travail se rapporte à une étude expérimentale menée au niveau d’une installation expérimentale de l’Institut National Agronomique de Tunisie (INAT). L’objectif est de visualiser l’évolution morphologique du fond d’un canal constitué de sable fin sous l’effet d’un écoulement permanent à faible pente. Des simulations numériques ont été effectuées avec différentes lois de transport solide par charriage sur des données expérimentales. L’objectif est de vérifier l’applicabilité de ces lois pour la prédiction de la capacité du transport solide par charriage. Des tests de l’effet du diamètre des matériaux sur la variation du taux de sédiments transportés ont été réalisés. Enfin, des simulations avec différentes formules disponibles sous SISYPHE couplé avec TELEMAC 2D ont été effectuées, pour prédire l’évolution de la couche de sable fin dans le canal. Dans une seconde partie, des simulations de la Medjerda avec des modèles hydrauliques 1D et 2D ont été réalisées. Ces simulations ont concerné les crues récentes pour lesquelles des données sont disponibles, en particulier la crue spectaculaire de janvier 2003, et la crue la plus récente survenue en février 2012. Dans un premier temps, des simulations numériques 1D ont été réalisées via les deux logiciels MIKE 11 et HEC RAS afin de contrôler le comportement de la ligne d’eau lors de ces crues. Dans un second temps, des modélisations hydrauliques bidimensionnelles 2D via le code TELEMAC 2D ont été effectuées ; le but était de déterminer l’étendue de la crue et d’identifier les zones sensibles à l’inondation. La dernière partie de ce travail porte sur l’étude du transport sédimentaire au niveau de la Medjerda. Dans un premier temps, une modélisation unidimensionnelle (1D) du transport solide total lors de la crue de 2003 le long de la moyenne vallée de la Medjerda. Une analyse de l’influence des quantités de matériaux transportés lors des crues sur l’évolution géomorphologique de la Medjerda a été faite. Dans un second temps, une modélisation bidimensionnelle (2D) du transport solide a été réalisée en utilisant SISYPHE couplé avec TELEMAC 2D. Enfin, une nouvelle approche de calcul du transport sédimentaire par charriage, basée sur le modèle d’érosion-déposition de Charru, (2006) a été testée. À l’issue de ce travail, une étude comparative entre les différents résultats obtenus, pour vérifier la validité de ces approches pour le cas de la Medjerda, a été effectuée
In Tunisia, the problem of floods and sediment transport is critically arising, especially in the Medjerda watershed. Since the construction of Sidi Salem dam, there is a remarkable morphological change, especially on the downstream side. We note a gradual enhancement of the river bed in the downstream direction and therefore, increased occurrence of floods. So, the use of numerical modeling is needed to better understand this risk. An experimental study carried out in a rectangular inclinable flume at the National Institute of Agronomy of Tunisia (INAT). The aim is to visualize the morphological evolution of the channel bottom consisting of fine sand under permanent flow. In the first part, a comparative analysis was conducted between bed load transport rates models with experimental data, in order to test and validate the new bed load model proposed by Lajeunesse et al. (2010), then to check the grain size effect on the sediment transport capacity. After that, we are interested in the study of the morphological evolution in rivers. It was performed through numerical modeling using SISYPHE coupled with TELEMAC 2D. The aim is to analyze the morphological changes in the channel bottom. In the second part, several simulations have been conducted between 1D and 2D hydraulic models. These simulations concerned the recent floods for which data are available, especially the flood in January 2003 and the latest floods occurred in February 2012. Initially, a 1D hydraulic model using the MIKE 11 and HEC RAS software was performed in order to control the behavior of the water line profile during these floods. Secondly, a twodimensional hydraulic model was conducted using the code TELEMAC 2D in order to determine flood extent and to identify flood sensitive areas. The last part of this work will focus on the study of sediment transport at the Medjerda. Initially, we conducted a one-dimensional modeling (1D) of the total sediment transport along the middle valley of the Medjerda river. An analysis of the influence of the amounts of the materials transported by the Medjerda during flood was performed to determine their effects on the river morphological evolution. Secondly, a two-dimensional modeling was performed (2D) of sediment transport using the code SISYPHE coupled with TELEMAC 2D was also performed. We became interested in the study of sediment transport by thrusting only, to see the effect of this transport mode to the morphological evolution. In addition, we opted for a new approach to calculation of bed load sediment transport model based on the erosion -deposition Charru (2006). At the end of this work, a comparative study between the different results to see the validity of this new approach to the case of Medjerda was considered

Abstract:
The aim of the master’s thesis was t odevelop alternative solutions supporting steel structure of the railway bridge on the undermined area. The range of single fields were chosen based on the location of existing substructures. Reducing the width of bridge openings were not allowed. Based on the geodetic survey plans were drawn up clear of the current state. On the basis of specifications for developing a detailed process was chosen variant Gerber’s beam reinforced with an arch in mean field. For this variant was performed structural analysis of the main parts of the main structure of the bridge, which was calculated with the effects of undermining. For variant Gerber’s beam were made clear drawings and drawing details of the selected steel bridge construction (new state). Further, detailed analysis of selected structural detail was made. Specifically, connecting rod to the main beam, which was designed optimal shape and thickness of the joints plate with a suitable radius of the firing to avoid plastification of the material in this area. Variant of the continuous beam without joints was prepared to. It has been observed, what is the effect of undermining on the stress in the construction of the bridge - was confronted with the effects on Gerber’s beam. To reduce stress in the construction of the bridge and compliance of ultimate state of applicability of the main beam has been designed bearing adjustment and after considering several options its implementation too. The economic comparison between the two variants was conducted. The assembling procedure was designed for both types of bridge structures. In the technical report we can read about due to the intention of building a new bridge and further we can find there other important technical information. In conclusion of the master’s thesis there has been recommended for the construction specific variant – from the perspective of an investor, and from the static aspect-view of the designer.

Abstract:
The chromatography steps dominate the Downstream Processing (DSP) costs of a new biopharmaceutical, which has propelled the biopharmaceutical industry to invest a lot of effort on their improvement in order to reduce the costs of the biopharmaceutical production. Liquid chromatography (LC) is currently the core technique within the DSP strategy for the purification of biopharmaceuticals. Although single-column batch chromatography is simpler to operate than continuous (multicolumn) chromatography, the latter has many advantages over the former, including improved purity, yield, and productivity. The main objective of this thesis is the development of a new chromatographic platform based on a novel single-column device that mimics the operation of multicolumn chromatography through ingenious management and recycling of the mixed fractions exiting the chromatographic column. The platform shares the benefits of the Simulated- Moving-Bed (SMB) technology. However, the newly developed process uses only a single chromatographic column. The conceptual design of the set-up and its mathematical model were successfully established. The laboratory prototype was built focusing on a simple, compact, and versatile design with small footprint. The binary separation of nucleosides by reversedphase chromatography was experimentally realized as proof of concept of the new system. An effort was made in 3D manufacturing of flow distributors and internals to ensure the proper operation of the recycle device and the improvement of its efficiency. A second case study—the capture step of monoclonal antibodies by affinity chromatography on protein A—was successfully used as a demonstration of the applicability of the newly developed process. The new system offers a more compact, less expensive, and simpler-to-operate alternative to multicolumn SMB chromatography. Depending on the efficiency of the recycle device, the single-column process can achieve the same purities as the analogous SMB unit while keeping the specific productivity constant. Moreover, the single-column chromatograph can be easily integrated into the existing downstream processing platforms of complex biopharmaceuticals.

Abstract Using Lab-scale Rotating-Packed-Bed Reactor, this study has been made investigate to the effects of ozonation on textile wastewaters. The use of rotating-packed-bed reactor causes to take advantage of increasing gas-liquid contact by the packed materiel. Two dyes, Reactive Red 120 and Acid Red 299 were obtained directly from selected textile plant. The results indicate that the most significant operative factor among all in the ozonation system is the speed of the rotation adjusted in the reactor. Color removal was completely achieved within 5 minutes of ozonation. However, TOC removal was limited, only 50% could be resulted by ozonation after a 60-min reaction period .The most pronounced effects of short-tern ozonation was found, in this study, to be the promotion of the wastewaters biodegradabilities. The BOD5/TOC ratio of Reactive Red 120 increased from 0.006 to 5.47 after 20min ozonation and Acid Red 299 from 0.175 to 1.96 after 20min ozonation.

O JLS prende-se com o desfasamento entre os tempos biológico e social a que muitas pessoas estão sujeitas para conseguirem responder às exigências sociais de uma sociedade de 24h. Este estudo teve como objectivos saber os níveis de JLS para cada cronótipo em cada turno, e qual a influencia do JLS no BES. Para tal, este estudo contou com 142 participantes distribuídos por quatro turnos de trabalho (i.e. manhã, convencional, tarde e noite). Foi utilizado um questionário sócio-demográfico para caracterização da população em estudo e caracterização dos seus hábitos de sono nos dias de trabalho e nos dias livres, um questionário para avaliação da componente afectiva do BES (i.e. PANAS) e a escala de SWL para avaliação da componente cognitiva do BES. Os resultados mostram que para os turno da manhã e do convencional, os matutinos têm menos JLS que os vespertinos; para o turno da tarde e da noite não se obtiveram dados conclusivos. A influência do JLS sobre o BES foi comprovada para os matutinos do turno da manhã, em que o JLS prediz a diminuição da SWL e o aumento do AN. Para os matutinos do convencional o JLS prediz o aumento do AP e para os intermédios prediz a diminuição do AP. Além disso, a idade e o MSF_sc também se mostraram como predidores do BES. A idade para os matutinos da manhã e o MSF_sc para os vespertinos da tarde. Concluindo-se que o JLS deve ser considerado nos estudos do trabalho por turnos.
ABSTRACT: The SJL is related to the mismatch between biological and social times that many people are subject to respond the requirements of a company of 24 hours. This study aims to know the levels SJL for each chronotype at every turn, and what influences the SJL in SWB. To this end, this study had 142 participants divided into four work shifts (i.e. morning, conventional, afternoon and evening). We used a questionnaire for socio-demographic characteristics of the population under study and characterization of their sleep habits during working days and free days, a questionnaire for assessing the affective component of SWB (i.e. PANAS) and a scale of SWL to evaluate the cognitive component of SWB. The results show that for the morning shift and the conventional, the morningness are less SJL that eveningness, for the afternoon shift and night we haven’t obtained any conclusive data. The influence of SJL on the SWB was confirmed for the morningness of the morning shift in the SJL predicts the decrease of SWL and increasing NA. For the morningness of the conventional SJL predicts the increase in PA and to the intermediate predicts the decrease in PA. Furthermore, age and MSF_sc also showed how as predictors SWB. The age for the morningness of morning and the MSF_sc for the eveningness of the afternoon. Concluding that, the JLS should be considered in studies of shift work.

O envelhecimento da população é um fenómeno que se observa não só em Portugal mas à escala mundial, o crescimento dos idosos e dos grandes idosos na estrutura populacional tem vindo a aumentar de forma significativa, o que se deve à diminuição da taxa de natalidade assim como ao aumento da esperança de vida. Esta realidade acarreta diversas alterações ao nível da organização da dinâmica pessoal, familiar, e social do meio onde o idoso se insere, que com o aumento da perda da sua autonomia ao longo dos anos, terá como último recurso a institucionalização onde lhe serão prestados os cuidados adaptados à satisfação das suas necessidades. Esta grande responsabilidade cabe a todos os funcionários das entidades que os acolhem, mas principalmente ao principal cuidador, a Ajudantes de Lar, que com o idoso passam as 24 horas diárias a desempenhar as suas funções. Contudo, embora sendo considerada uma profissão, ao papel de cuidador estão associados diversos factores como uma sobrecarga física, emocional e até mesmo social devido a todos os laços que se criam com os idosos. Neste sentido, o presente estudo visa caracterizar estes cuidadores no que concerne ao seu Bem-Estar Subjectivo, e de que modo este poderá ser afectado pelo Suporte Social, a Resiliência e a Motivação Intrínseca. A nossa amostra é constituída por 77 Ajudantes de Lar, exercendo as suas funções em Lares de Idosos, predominantemente do sexo feminino, casada ou em união de facto com a maior parcela, e com filhos. Os resultados obtidos demonstram que existe influência estatística das variáveis independentes sobre o Bem-estar Subjectivo se analisadas em separado, da análise conjunta constata-se que essa influência existe para as variáveis Resiliência e Motivação Intrínseca.

The development of Bed and Breakfast (B&B) in Taiwan thrived since 1997 and has flourished since 2000. In addition to the emotions towards rural farm house, the resort-like environment and services offers friendly perception of hospitality. Many B&B in Yilan area preserve considerably natural style. The study explores the degree of favor towards B&B from different ages of people in Yilan, the impact of B&B brought upon the local economy and the local industries, related industries, and the plans which government should emphasize. The study adopts qualitative research and understands the existing Yilan B&B tourism according to literature collection, participant observation, and in-depth interviews, thereby proposes analysis and recommendation. The study result of the interviews with the 32 participants shows that tourists visiting the B&B in Yilan consist mainly of young people, and the activities engaged include family recreation and small group activities, while the major means of transportation consist of compact cars. Although B&B brings economical growth and more job opportunities with respect to economic impact, B&B also contains seasonal unemployment. With regards to the environment, the public infrastructure and new venue of recreations are followed by dirty environment, pollution to air, water and noise, and not to mention the traffic chaos. Nonetheless, the B&B industries and development have preserved the appearance and features of the excellent sceneries in Yilan rural areas; thereby promoting the region to benefit more people. The paper proposes for the B8B development and strategies to combine the common efforts from the industries, government, and academia, to develop towards cross-industry alliance, eco-tourism programs, section integration, and strengthen concept of service by formulating existing differentiated marketing strategy and promotion channels, in addition to strengthening the utilization and monitoring of all resources to cope with the changes of new era. Finally, the paper offers recommendations as follows: owners of B&B are recommended to combine development with general community construction, establish evaluation system and develop local B&B style from the perspective of consumers, thereby develop B&B industry with sustainable growth in Yilan.

The bei-guan culture in the Lan-yang area has been developing for one hundred and eighty years．According to the historical documents, bei-guan spouted in the year of Dao-guang, Cing Dynasty, through the time of Japanese reign and its Japanization over Taiwan it began to progress and was banned for a time by the Colony Government. After the Retrocession of Taiwan, bei-guan was revived and brought to the apex of its development. However, with the economical prosperity in the "70''s" and "80''s"，it began to decline and decay due to the structural shifts from the peasant society to the modernization of Taiwan. Bustling procession activities may be the most notable feature of the bei-guan clubs. At the peak of bei-guan development, props such as"embroidered flag","wood-carved banner","paper lantern holder", " drum booth", "gong carrier", "drum stand" and "spring pavilion" gradually became the most significant artefacts for public exhibitions during the procession. In addition to its recreational function to the audiences and demonstrative purposes for bei-guan clubs themselves, these artefacts had also witnessed and carried the factional-transformational conflicts among bei-guan clubs in the Lan-yang area. The substantial purpose of bei-guan artifacts lies in performance; relatively, the connotative and denotative meanings of the bei-guan performance configure the material structures of bei-guan artefacts. This paper considers the artefacts of bei-guan clubs in the Lan-yang area as its point of departure for research. Given the hypothesis- that "the artefacts will live on", the interpretation toward artefact performance is the main purpose of this paper and the subjectivity of the artefacts will also be stressed. Besides, this paper adopts the concept of material culture as its approach: through the basic bibliographical and field study, then the subsequent textual research and interpretation methods from historiography, it is possible to trace back the history of bei-guan performances concerning these artefacts and thus able to analyze, explain, and integrate the materials of bei-一guan artefacts, inducing their genres and performing forms. Furthermore, with this primary knowledge, it is expected to unearth the historical context in which these artefacts were performed, explore their relationship to the social network, realize their performance as a fact and interpret their cultural values．Finally, this paper refers to the new form and the interpretation toward the artefact performance in response of the time change.

A melhoria do nível de vida, veio influenciar positivamente a longevidade humana e a relação entre a qualidade de vida e o envelhecimento. O presente estudo, Qualidade de Vida e Depressão na Pessoa Idosa Institucionalizada nos Lares da Região Autónoma da Madeira (RAM), tem por objectivo: analisar a qualidade de vida dos idosos, identificar o nível de depressão e relacionar a qualidade de vida com o nível de depressão e foi realizado com uma amostra de 155 dos idosos institucionalizados em 16 lares da RAM. Para a avaliação da qualidade de vida utilizou-se a escala WHOQOL-Bref, da Organização Mundial de Saúde (OMS). Para a avaliação da Depressão usamos a Escala de Depressão Geriátrica (Geriatric Depression Scale - GDS), construída por Brink, Jesavage, Lum, Heersema, Adey e Rose (1982). Dos dados obtidos verificou-se que, relativamente à satisfação com a saúde, 37,4%, dos idosos estão satisfeitos, 33,5% não estão satisfeitos nem insatisfeitos, 23,9% estão insatisfeitos e 3,2% estão muito insatisfeitos. Na avaliação geral da qualidade de vida, 51,0% dos idosos considera a sua qualidade de vida nem boa nem má e 37,4% boa. No domínio geral da qualidade de vida obteve-se uma média de 55,84. O domínio que apresentou a média mais elevada (64,98) foi o que avalia a percepção dos idosos relativamente às relações sociais (domínio social) e o domínio com média mais baixa (52,84) foi o que avalia a percepção dos idosos relativamente ao domínio físico. Quanto à depressão, verificou-se que 40,6% dos idosos apresentam depressão ligeira e 21,3% apresentam depressão grave, mas 38,1% não apresentam depressão. Relacionando a qualidade de vida e a depressão, concluiu-se que a depressão apresenta um efeito significativo em todos os domínios da qualidade de vida e que os idosos que não apresentam depressão têm uma percepção mais positiva acerca da sua qualidade de vida, quer a nível geral, quer a nível de cada um dos domínios em estudo, físico, psicológico, social e ambiental. O estudo conclui que os idosos apresentam uma percepção positiva da sua qualidade de vida, ausência de depressão ou apenas depressão ligeira e os idosos que não têm depressão apresentam uma percepção mais positiva da sua qualidade de vida.

The research is based on the phenomenon of “republish the old published” on the picture books market from 2005 to 2010 in Taiwan. After reedit the stories, drawing, and rebinding, those books are totally different from pervious revision and republish again. Using the examples as Cao Jun-yan, Lai Ma, Chinlun Lee, and Bei Lynn’s works, I realized that the strategy of “new version” by interview with Cao Jun-yan, Chinlun Lee, and Bei Lynn. From the interview shows that each writer has his rules and limits of the pictures, stories, and books based on his concept. Writer’s idea and process of redesign and reform have a deep effect on the success of republish. I’ve tried to interpret “the writer’s thinking path” by observing the differences between two versions. I also discussed the connection of form and story from design, form, and story. The results show that the significance of publishing environment and cultural on Taiwan picture books by the communicating of writer, reader and publisher. Each writer has different creativity, and makes the pictures and text are able to maximize the effectiveness, to achieve "picture, story, book" , the three cross-cutting art.

Abstract:
O envelhecimento populacional é um fenómeno que se observa não só em Portugal, mas à escala mundial. A longevidade humana e, consequentemente, o número de idosos na estrutura populacional tem vindo a aumentar de forma significativa. Esta realidade acarreta diversas alterações ao nível da organização da dinâmica pessoal, familiar e social do meio em que o idoso se insere, que, com o aumento da perda da sua autonomia ao longo dos anos, terá como último recurso a institucionalização. Por conseguinte, fez emergir a importância de um novo grupo profissional considerado crucial para a prestação de cuidados de forma digna e qualificada em instituições geriátricas: os cuidadores formais. São vários os estudos que apontam para as consequências positivas de elevados níveis de bem-estar subjetivo e satisfação com a vida, principalmente ao nível de grandes áreas, como a saúde física e psicológica, longevidade, emprego, relações sociais e recursos pessoais e sociais (Diener & Ryan, 2009; Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2008; Lyubomirsky, King, Diener, 2005) daí a pertinência de se estudar este constructo. Neste sentido, o principal objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar o bem-estar subjetivo nos cuidadores formais de idosos que se encontram institucionalizados em lares de terceira idade e que frequentam centros de dia. Participaram no presente estudo 52 cuidadores formais de idosos maioritariamente do sexo feminino (88,5%), com idades compreendidas entre os 19 e os 56 anos (M=30,94; DP=8,44). Foram administrados os seguintes instrumentos: questionário sociodemográfico, versão portuguesa do Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) e da Escala de Satisfação com a Vida (SWLS). Os resultados apontam para que os cuidadores formais de idosos se mostrem globalmente satisfeitos e com maior presença de afetos positivos do que afetos negativos. Os principais resultados mostram que são os homens que pontuam mais no afeto negativo. Observou-se igualmente uma maior presença de afeto negativo nos cuidadores que desempenham funções em lares de terceira idade e centros de dia simultaneamente e uma menor satisfação com a vida nos cuidadores que trabalham apenas em centros de dia. Verificou-se também que quanto maior for a duração da experiência anterior em lares de terceira idade e centros de dia maior é o afeto negativo e, relativamente à perceção da saúde, verificou-se que a satisfação com a vida é maior nos cuidadores que percebem a sua saúde como sendo muito boa. O presente estudo sublinha importância da promoção do bem-estar subjetivo nestes profissionais.
Population ageing is a phenomenon that is observed not only in Portugal but worldwide. Human longevity and, consequently, the number of elderly people in the population structure has been increasing significantly. This reality entails several changes in the organization of the personal, family and social dynamics of the environment in which the elderly are inserted, which, with the increase of the loss of their autonomy over the years, will have as its last resort being institutionalized. Therefore, its importante to highlight the importance of a new professional group that will be crucial for the provision of decent and qualified care in geriatric institutions: formal caregivers. A number of studies point to the positive consequences of high levels of subjective well-being and life satisfaction, particularly in large areas such as physical and psychological health, longevity, employment, social relationships and personal and social resources ( Diener & Ryan, 2009; Diener & Biswas-Diener, 2008; Lyubomirsky, King, Diener, 2005), hence the relevance of studying this construct. In this sense, the main objective of the present study was to evaluate the subjective well-being in the formal caregivers of elderly people who are institutionalized in nursing homes and who attend day care centers. In the present study, 52 formal caregivers of the elderly, mostly female (88.5%), aged between 19 and 56 years old (M = 30.94, SD = 8.44) participated in the study. The following instruments were administered: sociodemographic questionnaire, Portuguese version of the Positive and Negative Affection Schedule (PANAS) and the Life Satisfaction Scale (SWLS). The results point out that the formal caregivers of the elderly are globally satisfied and with a higher presence of positive affections than negative affections. The main results show that it is men who score more on negative affection. There was also a greater presence of negative affection in caregivers who perform functions in nursing homes and day care centers simultaneously and a lower satisfaction with life in caregivers working only in day care centers. It was also found that the greater the duration of the previous experience in nursing homes and day centers, the greater the negative affection and, in relation to the perception of health, it was verified that satisfaction with life is greater in caregivers who perceive Your health as being very good. The present study emphasizes the importance of promoting subjective well-being in these professionals.
