IT support for administrative planning of clinical practice.

The administration of clinical practice placements for nursing students is a highly complex and information driven task. This demonstration is intended to give insight into the web based system KliPP (a Swedish acronym for Clinical Practice Planning) and to discuss the possibilities for further development and use.

Mémoire sur l’évolution de la condition féminine de 1945 à nos jours : Etude comparative d’après les ouvrages de: - Le Deuxième sexe de Simone de Beauvoir - Fausse route d’Elisabeth Badinter

Ce mémoire n’a pas la prétention d’aborder la totalité des combats menés par ces deux personnalités, Simone de Beauvoir et Elisabeth Badinter, pour la libération des femmes. Cependant, il permet de mettre en évidence, voire en parallèles les actions essentielles de deux femmes de générations différentes. Avec une même sensibilité et une pugnacité sans faille malgré les difficultés et  critiques rencontrées, elles ont permis à l’ensemble des hommes et surtout des femmes de prendre conscience des inégalités à combattre pour un meilleur « vivre ensemble ».

Trips and their CO2 emissions induced by a shopping center

Most previous studies have focused on entire trips in a geographic region, while a few of them addressed trips induced by a city landmark. Therefore paper explores trips and their CO2 emissions induced by a shopping center from a time-space perspective and their usage in relocation planning. This is conducted by the means of a case study in the city of Borlänge in mid-Sweden where trips to the city’s largest shopping mall in its center are examined. We use GPS tracking data of car trips that end and start at the shopping center. Thereafter, (1) we analyze the traffic emission patterns from a time-space perspective where temporal patterns reveal an hourly-based traffic emission dynamics and where spatial patterns uncover a heterogeneous distribution of traffic emissions in spatial areas and individual street segments. Further, (2) this study reports that most of the observed trips follow an optimal route in terms of CO2 emissions. In this respect, (3) we evaluate how well placed the current shopping center is through a comparison with two competing locations. We conclude that the two suggested locations, which are close to the current shopping center, do not show a significant improvement in term of CO2 emissions.
