Das EU - Projekt „Chain Reaction“ hatte zum Ziel, in zwölf Ländern forschend - entdeckendes Lernen nachhaltig in den naturwissenschaftlichen Unterricht zu integrieren. In dieser Teilstudie interessiert insbesondere, inwieweit die zu diesem Zweck in den Partnerländern umgesetzten Lehrerfortbildungen als förderlich von den Lehrkräften eingeschätzt wurden. Dazu wurde eine Fragebogenstudie durchgeführt, die die Wirkung der Lehrerfortbildungen in Hinblick auf die Methode des forschend- entdeckenden Lernens evaluierte.

Development of a Real-Time Fuel Processor Model for HIL Simulation

March 2014

In this article a real-time model for dynamic simulation of a fuel processor is presented. The model is intended for HIL testing of the PLC for a truck Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) system. The APU comprises a PEM fuel cell and fuel processor to enable direct utilization of on-board diesel. The system is under development in FCGEN, an EU project under the FP7 program FCH JU [1]. One critical ... [Show full abstract] challenge is to design the control system (PLC) to ensure failsafe and environmental friendly startup and operation. The startup phase of the fuel processor is the most critical part, since it is a highly dynamic process involving several complex reactors. It is advantageous to verify the control system before the fuel processor is assembled to avoid possible breakage of components. Such verification can be done with a real-time model representing the physical system. In this study such a model is created using Modelica and Dymola. It is shown that it is possible to load and execute a real-time Modelica model capable of realistically mimicking the system response on a HIL platform. The model runs in real time using a first order explicit (Euler) solver with a time step size of 25 ms.

January 2018

Katharina Wzietek

Etwa 2000 Fahrradfahrende sterben jährlich in Verkehrsunfällen in Europa. Rund ein Viertel der tödlichen Radfahrunfälle EU-weit ereignet sich dabei an Kreuzungen. Aufgrund dieser alarmierenden Zahlen wurde im Rahmen des EU-Projekts XCYCLE eine Technologie entwickelt, die die Sicherheit von Fahrradfahrenden an innerstädtischen Kreuzungen verbessern soll. Bei dem sogenannten On-Bike-System handelt ... [Show full abstract] es sich um ein am Fahrrad montiertes Warnsystem, das Radfahrende vor Kollisionen mit motorisierten Fahrzeugen durch Lichtsignale warnt. Das Risiko einer Kollision zwischen einem rechtsabbiegenden Autofahrenden und kreuzenden Radfahrenden wurde auf Basis von Trajektoriendaten ermittelt. Die LED leuchteten je nach Ausprägung der Kritikalität niedrig (Konflikt ersten Grades) oder hoch (Konflikt zweiten Grades) frequentiert auf. In einer semikontrollierten Feldstudie wurde mit 15 Radfahrenden der Einfluss der wahrgenommenen Sicherheit auf die Akzeptanz des Systems und die gefahrene Geschwindigkeit, an einer innerstädtischen Kreuzung, evaluiert. In 52 Versuchsdurchläufen überquerten die Versuchspersonen die Kreuzung. Die Analyse zeigt, dass Erfahrung mit dem System einen negativen Einfluss auf die Akzeptanz hat. Die wahrgenommene Sicherheit hat keinen Einfluss auf die Akzeptanz. Erfahrung wirkt sich nicht auf die Annäherungsgeschwindigkeit aus. Weitere explorative Auswertungen deuten darauf hin, dass der Fahrstil ein moderierender Faktor ist. Die Implikationen der Ergebnisse werden ausführlich im Hinblick auf die Funktionsweise des Systems und das Untersuchungsszenario diskutiert.

Chapter

Final Observations: Concluding Remarks

October 2018

Karin Fløistad

This chapter sums up the main findings on the EEA integration process in the field of publicly funded welfare services tying the three parts of study together. The chapter first introduces the delimitation of the project limited to EU primary law changes and focuses on how the viability of the EU project came to depend on not separating the market integration from socially oriented objectives. ... [Show full abstract] Second, the chapter points to the particular concerns in the EEA dimension when the revised EU legal framework gave new powers to the EU institutions. Furthermore, it is explained how the study has not only revealed consequences for EFTA States but also for EU Member States giving a new dimension to the legal effect of the principles of dynamism and homogeneity and indeed to the EEA integration process itself.

Epidemiology, biology and therapy of Merkel cell carcinoma: conclusions from the EU project IMMOMEC

March 2018 · Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a highly aggressive, often lethal neuroendocrine cancer. Its carcinogenesis may be either caused by the clonal integration of the Merkel cell polyomavirus into the host genome or by UV-induced mutations. Notably, virally-encoded oncoproteins and UV-induced mutations affect comparable signaling pathways such as RB restriction of cell cycle progression or p53 ... [Show full abstract] inactivation. Despite its low incidence, MCC recently received much attention based on its exquisite immunogenicity and the resulting major success of immune modulating therapies. Here, we summarize current knowledge on epidemiology, biology and therapy of MCC as conclusion of the project ‘Immune Modulating strategies for treatment of Merkel Cell Carcinoma’, which was funded over a 5-year period by the European Commission to investigate innovative immunotherapies for MCC.

Evaluation of Disaster Risk Reduction Plans

February 2017

The Resilience-Increasing Strategies for Coasts – Toolkit (RISC-KIT) FP7 EU project (2013-2017) aims to produce a set of innovative and EU-coherent open-source and open- access methods, tools and management approaches (the RISC-KIT) in support of coastal managers, decision-makers and policy makers to reduce risk and increase resilience to low- frequency, high impact hydro-meteorological ... [Show full abstract] events. The Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) is one of the five tools used to assess the proposed measures in each of the RISC-KIT case studies with respect to criteria that capture the key dimensions of the decision-making process. The analysis is based on a one-time workshop with key stakeholders in each of the cases. In this workshop, stakeholders systematically score and weigh out options against three selected criteria (feasibility, acceptability, and sustainability). MCA methodologies have been widely applied in environmental studies as they have proven useful tools when assessing performance of options against criteria that are difficult to quantify and involve qualitative aspects. In RISC-KIT, MCA is used in three ways: 1) as a way facilitate the communication and presentation of project results in a coherent and contextualized manner to relevant local stakeholders and decisionmakers; 2) as a way to capture other types of knowledge, such as local every-day experiences, socio-economic and political factors that might affect how the proposed measures are perceived; and 3) as a way of facilitating interaction between local stakeholders and raising awareness of risks and potential measures. Results from the implementation of the MCA in 8 RISC-KIT cases highlights several key lessons for future DRR projects with regards to a) the importance of sufficient preparation for participatory sessions; b) stakeholder interaction and inclusion in the DRR projects; c) the way research results are presented to non-research communities; d) and the challenges of implementing single-approaches to diverse contexts.

Europeanisation as Resource Empowerment for NGOs

September 2008 · Perspectives on European Politics and Society

Darren McCauley

This paper explores the significance of resources in determining a group's ability to respond to the European Integration process. Both domestic and supranational opportunity structures are constantly shaped and re-shaped by EU policy processes. The single country case study of France is selected on the basis of the state's longstanding traditions of civil society exclusion. The influence of the ... [Show full abstract] EU in transforming these Jacobin predilections is explored with reference to a comprehensive European environmental implementation programme (NATURA 2000). Resource Mobilisation theory reminds us that a group's resource base is a decisive variable in attempting to influence decision makers. It is argued, first, that the European Commission has empowered some French civil society actors with resources allowing them to mobilise on more levels for longer, while failing to influence others. Second, it is revealed that this empowerment is dependent upon the level of financial incentives offered as well as the overall favourability of the group to the EU project itself.

Sundere alderdom fremtidssikrer arbejdsmarkedet Stort EU projekt skal sikre sundere aldring hos det grå guld Udskriv Del SUNDHED: I dag, tirsdag, mødes partnere fra fem lande og diskuterer sundhedsfremmende strategier, der kan sikre bedre og sundere levevilkår blandt det grå guld. University College Sjælland indgår i det store EU projekt Progress 2wards Healthy Aging, der skal sikre en sund, ... [Show full abstract] aktiv og attraktiv alderdom for ældre borgere i EU samt flere år på arbejdsmarkedet. 2012 er ”Året for aktiv og sund aldring” i EU. Derfor er fem EU lande (UK, Tyskland, Italien, Spanien og Danmark) gået sammen i projektet Progress 2wards Healthy Aging, for at udvikle modeller og anbefalinger, der sikrer at et længere liv også bliver et sundere liv - blandt andet med det formål at forhindre tidlig afgang fra arbejdsmarkedet. University College Sjælland deltager som partner i projektet. - Vi har sagt ja til at deltage i dette projekt, da vi i region Sjælland har en alderssammensætning, der gør det særligt interessant at finde nye initiativer og programmer, der kan sikre sundere livsstil for denne gruppe af borgere - blandt andet for at sikre at de kan blive længere på arbejdsmarkedet, fortæller Britta Hørdam, leder af Videncenter for sundhed, ernæring og læring på University College Sjælland. KLIK HER og bliv ven med Lørdagsavisen på Facebook, og få vores tophistorier på din væg Længere levealder medfører nye problemer Det faktum at vi lever længere i Europa har medført at række nye problematikker i forbindelse med aldersbetingede sygdomme. - Vi ser, at de fysiske skavanker indtræder allerede omkring 45 års alderen, og herfra stiger antallet af personer, der oplever fysiske skavanker stødt. Derfor skal vi igangsætte initiativer og sundhedsprogrammer, der knækker den opadgående kurve, siger Britta Hørdam. Gennem interview og sundhedssamtaler med cirka 300 personer på en række arbejdspladser i region Sjælland, skal University College Sjælland undersøge, hvad der motiverer denne gruppe af borgere til at ændre usund livsstil. - Vi er nødt til at finde fordelene ved en sund, aktiv aldring, og bruge dem til at udvikle tiltag der hjælper denne gruppe af mennesker til at føre et helt, sundt liv og forberede sig på en forsinket pension, siger Britta Hørdam. I dag præsenterer hver projektgruppe sundhedssituationer samt best practices i sundhedsfremmende interventioner rettet imod 45+ på en fælles konference i Suffolk, England. Resultaterne forventes af være klar til præsentation i foråret 2014. Læs mere om projektet: http://www.progresshealthyageing.eu/. pm
