Ausbildungslandschaft, Kompetenzprofil und Karriereweg von WirtschaftsingenieurInnen: Studie 2014

Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen-Studienrichtungen/-gänge erfreuen sich ungebrochener Beliebtheit und auch die Nachfrage am Arbeitsmarkt nach AbsolventInnen ist nach wie vor größer als das Angebot. Wie schon in der Wirtschaftsingenieurstudie 2010 erhoben, zeigen auch die Ergebnisse der aktuellen Erhebung, dass sich diese Situation voraussichtlich auch in den nächsten Jahren fortsetzen wird. Auch das Tempo der Veränderung der Ausbildungslandschaft ist beeindruckend. So wurde in den letzten Jahren das Angebot an Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen-Studienrichtungen/-gängen an österreichischen Universitäten und - in noch stärkerem Ausmaß - Fachhochschulen ausgebaut. So erfreulich das auf der Seite des Österreichischen Verbands der Wirtschaftsingenieure (WING) auch ist, ergeben sich auf der Seite der Studieninteressierten und Studierenden, der AbsolventInnen und der PersonalmanagerInnen Probleme mit der notwendigen Transparenz im Hinblick auf das Wirtschaftsingenieurwesen-Studienangebot und dessen Inhalte. Als Maßnahme und auch zum Schutz der Marke 'Wirtschaftsingenieur' vor missbräuchlicher Verwendung wurde vom WING in Absprache mit den Schwesterverbänden - dem Verband Deutscher Wirtschaftsingenieure (VWI) und der Vereinigung Wirtschaftsingenieure Schweiz (VWI CH) - der Markenschutz beantragt und den beiden Landesverbänden zur Verfügung gestellt ..

Spatial and temporal variations of trace element distribution in soils and street dust of an industrial town in NW Spain: 15years of study

Extensive spatial and temporal surveys, over 15 years, have been conducted in soil in urban parks and street dusts in one of the most polluted cities in western Europe, Avilés (NW Spain). The first survey was carried out in 1996, and since then monitoring has been undertaken every five years. Whilst the sampling site is a relatively small town, industrial activities (mainly the steel industry and Zn and Al metallurgy) and other less significant urban sources, such as traffic, strongly affect the load of heavy metals in the urban aerosol. Elemental tracers have been used to characterise the influence of these sources on the composition of soil and dust. Although PM10 has decreased over these years as a result of environmental measures undertaken in the city, some of the “industrial” elements still remain in concentrations of concern for example, up to 4.6% and 0.5% of Zn in dust and soil, respectively. Spatial trends in metals such as Zn and Cd clearly reflect sources from the processing industries. The concentrations of these elements across Europe have reduced over time, however the most recent results from Avilés revealed an upward trend in concentration for Zn, Cd, Hg and As. A risk assessment of the soil highlighted As as an element of concern since its cancer risk in adults was more than double the value above which regulatory agencies deem it to be unacceptable. If children were considered to be the receptors, then the risk nearly doubles from this element

The Role Of Information Society In The Development Of Farhangian University

In this study, we attempted to examine the role of information society in the development of Farhangian University. The research method is descriptive-survey. The population of this study, being 145 peoplewas consisted of experts, staff and faculty members of Farhangian University of Kerman -in the academic year of 2014-2015. Access was possible to all members of the community and a list of available people was made. Using census methods, 145 people were selected as samples of the study among the staff and faculty members of Farhangian University. A research made questionnaire, having an optimal reliability and validity (α= 0.88), was used in the study. Since the aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of the information society on the development of Farhangian University, a five-component scale was implemented; planning, organization, command, coordination and control. To test the hypotheses (rejection or acceptance) one- sample t test was used. The results indicated that experts, professors and staff of Farhangian University of Kerman believed that the role of the information society in the development of the university is at an average level in terms of planning and organizing; however, in terms of command, coordination and control, the role of the information society was lower than expected
