Wind energy has become an important energy source in Europe (e.g. 15 % in Denmark) with an impressive expansion rate. The usage of solar energy will experience an enormous increase within the next 10 years as well. For the optimal and efficient use of solar energy and its integration into the electricity grid, accurate solar irradiance data in a high spatial and temporal resolution are necessary. Solar irradiance schemes provide these data based on weather satellites such as Meteosat or MSG. A successful integration of solar energy technologies into the existing energy structure highly depends on a detailed knowledge of the solar resource. HELIOSAT-3 will supply high quality solar radiation data gained from the exploitation of existing Earth observation technologies and will take advantage of the enhanced capabilities of the new Meteosat Second Generation (MSG) meteorological satellites. The expected quality represents a substantial improvement with respect to the available methods and will better match the needs of the users of the resulting products. In particular, HELIOSAT-3 will provide .. solar irradiance data with high accuracy and spacetime resolution necessary for solar energy applications, plus a large geographical coverage .. additional solar energy specific data (direct and spectral irradiance, angular distribution of diffuse irradiance, spatial structure of irradiance) according to the needs of end-users .. information on HELIOSAT-3 products, its sustainability as a service and its potential benefits to end-users. The objectives of the HELIOSAT-3 project will be achieved by the development and establishment of a new type of solar irradiance calculation schemes (see chapter 3). This scheme will be based on satellite retrieved atmospheric data (see chapter 2)Wed Oct 06 20:47:33 CEST 2010Luxembourg--Communicating research for evidence-based policymaking a practical guide for researchers in socio-economic sciences and humanities2010communicating comunicazione policy policymaking politiche research ricerca scienza sociali ue Sat Jan 09 20:12:53 CET 2010The People ' s voice: local radio and television in Europe , 1992UE europa locali radio ricerca tv Sat Jan 09 20:09:10 CET 2010Media Culture Society2193-201{Community broadcasting: a manifesto for the media policy of small European countries}141992UE community european manifesto media policy politica Fri Jan 08 20:10:07 CET 2010Telematics and InformaticsMay 2115-204Community media. the long march272010community diritto europa media radio ue Tue Jan 05 00:59:18 CET 2010From the Margins to the Cutting Edge Sub-title: Community Media and Empowerment 2006 UE community empowerment media non-profit redio 256 Sat May 23 15:47:05 CEST 2009Edizioni della Fondazione Giovanni Seconde generazioni.

Si dimentica però che l'Europa non è poi così lontana dai cittadini, visto che funziona come uno spazio politico dove si affrontano questioni che interessano da vicino le persone: le pari opportunità tra donne e uomini; la tutela dell'ambiente; la difesa dei consumatori; la lotta all'esclusione sociale; il sostegno agli anziani. Su questi temi le reti europee del terzo settore giocano ormai un ruolo di primo piano, spesso in un rapporto dialettico con le lobby economiche e con le stesse istituzioni di Bruxelles. Il volume ricostruisce il ruolo e l'identità di questi network europei della società civile, grazie ad una ricerca condotta con il metodo degli studi di caso.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a contoured foam seat (CFS) on postural alignment and on the ability of infants with neuromotor impairments to engage with toys. Parental perceptions regarding the use and effects of the CFS also were assessed via semistructured interviews. SUBJECTS: Subjects were 4 infants, ages 9 to 18 months, who were unable to sit independently. METHOD: A time-series, alternating-treatments design was used, with data collected under 3 conditions: (1) a regular highchair, (2) a regular highchair with a thin foam liner, and (3) a CFS used as an insert in a regular highchair. The primary dependent measures were postural alignment and engagement with toys. Engagement with toys was defined as percentage of intervals with 2 hands on a toy and percentage of intervals with no hands on a highchair tray and 1 or 2 hands on a toy. RESULTS: Results showed a sustained effect of the CFS on improving postural alignment for all subjects. Effects of the CFS on increasing the number of intervals of bimanual play were not demonstrated for any subjects, although some improvement in the infant's ability to free the arms from support was observed for 2 subjects. Mothers reported acceptability of the CFS for everyday use and described benefits for themselves and their infants. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The results support the use of a CFS for improving postural alignment. Future research on adaptive seating should focus on interventions and outcomes that help children participate in functional activities relevant to them and their families.Fri Feb 16 15:24:54 CET 2007Hamilton Health Sciences, Complex Medicine Rehabilitation Unit, Canada. cstavness@cogeco.caPhys Occup Ther Pediatr339--53The effect of positioning for children with cerebral palsy on upper-extremity function: a review of the evidence.262006print-red ue cp positioning function review CONTEXT: Controversy exists about the most appropriate seating position for children with cerebral palsy (CP) to promote energy conservation and maximize upper-extremity function. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION: Sixteen journal articles published after 1980 were identified by searching allied health, medical, and occupational and physical therapy data bases and evidence-based medicine reviews using specific key terms (positioning, wheelchair, postural control, posture, adaptive seating devices, patient positioning, cerebral palsy, movement disorders, upper extremity, reaching, grasping, and occupational therapy) and reviewing bibliographies of retrieved articles. EVIDENCE SYNTHESIS: The majority of the evidence supports the positive effects of a neutral to slightly forward orientation (whole chair tilted) on upper-extremity function. Only one study did not demonstrate such effects. Of the supporting studies, one suggested the addition of an abduction orthrosis (AO), one recommended the entire functional sitting position (FSP) package (this orientation plus a hip-belt, footrests, AO, and cutout tray), and one established the long-term effects of the FSP. One less rigorous study opposed the addition of an AO. With the exception of one study, most of the evidence states that seat angle does not affect functional abilities. However, some of these studies contain faulty methodology and/or their results demonstrate clinical significance. CONCLUSION: Evidence supports that children with CP should be fitted for wheelchairs that place them in a FSP, which includes; orientation in space of 0 degrees -15 degrees, a hip-belt, an AO, footrests, and a cutout tray, with the addition of a sloped forward seat of 0 degrees -15 degrees, to improve upper-extremity function. The exact seat angle and orientation in space within the 0 degrees -15 degrees range should be determined on an individual basis.UeCommunity for tag(s) Ue
