The large-scale international migration in the 21st century has emerged as a major threat to the global health equity movement. Not only has the volume of migration substantially increased but also the patterns of migration have become more complex. This paper began by focusing on the drivers of international migration and how health inequalities are linked to migration. Situating migration within the broader structural contexts, the paper calls for using the unharnessed potential of the intersectionality framework to advance immigrant health research. Despite coming from poorer socioeconomic backgrounds and facing disparities in the host society, the immigrants are often paradoxically shown to be healthier than the native population, although this health advantage diminishes over time. Studies on immigrant health, however, are traditionally informed by the acculturation framework which holds the assimilation of unhealthy lifestyles primarily responsible for immigrant health deterioration, diverting the attention away from the structural factors. Although the alternative structural framework came up with the promise to explore the structural factors, it is criticised for an overwhelming focus on access to healthcare and inadequate attention to institutional and societal contexts. However, the heterogeneity of the immigrant population across multiple dimensions of vulnerability demands a novel approach that can bring to the fore both premigratory and postmigratory contextual factors and adequately capture the picture of immigrant health. The paper concludes by questioning the acculturation perspective and pushing the structural paradigm to embrace the intersectionality framework which has the potential to address a wide range of vulnerabilities that intersect to produce health inequalities among the immigrants.

Industrial plants that want to be up to current Polish and European environmental protection requirements faced the need to conduct large-scale pro-ecological activities aimed at minimizing the risk of environmental pollution. One of such action is the remediation or reclamation (purification) of soils using different methods to restore the degraded lands to their usefulness.

In large-scale industrial plants, alarm management system (AMS) has a critical role in safety and efficiency of the plant. High degree of connectivity in large-scale plants results in high degree of dependencies between the generated alarms, and thus in any abnormal condition, a huge number of alarms are presented to the operator. This phenomenon is known as alarm flood, which might lead to a hazardous situation if the operator cannot handle them. Therefore, an efficient alarm analysis system is required to assist the operator by detecting the sequence of alarms and the root-cause analysis between them. In this paper, a data-driven method using the alarm log file is proposed to detect the causal sequence of the alarms. In this method, an efficient alarm clustering based on time distance between the alarms is proposed to keep the timely close alarms in one cluster. This clustering approach can help to preserve the neighboring alarms in one cluster. By similarity analysis between the detected clusters, the similar clusters can form a category of alarms. Each category and the clusters inside them are further analyzed for root-cause detection by means of transfer entropy. Finally, the proposed method is evaluated with an industrial alarm data

Basal Detachment

The present structural framework of the Kala Chitta Range evolved through movement between two detachment surfaces. The Precambrian Attock Slates acted as a basal detachment surface above which large scale horizontal compression took place to produce the main structural framework of the Kala Chitta Range. The Middle Eocene argillaceous and gypsiferous Kuldana Formation behaved as the upper detachment surface giving rise to blind thrusts which were later exposed due to the intense erosion of the overlying folded Miocene strata.

The Many

Since the word “cogeneration” was coined in President Carter’s energy message to Congress in April 1977, most articles covering the topic have dealt with defining its meaning, estimating the quantity of recoverable waste heat energy in various industrial segments, and describing the many drawbacks, i. e., federal energy policy, electric utility rate structures, tax credits, etc. associated with major industrial-utility co-operative power generation concepts. So much emphasis has been placed on the problems of large scale cogeneration projects that many operating industrial plants either lose sight of the potential benefits obtained by generating their own electrical power or shy away from the subject altogether.

With this paper the author will show interesting results of the co-combustion of coal in combination with bark and paper sludge in fluidized bed combustion. The results presented were collected during two measurement campaigns at a 30 kW electrically stabilized bubbling fluidized bed. The fluidized bed combustor was compared to large scale combustors in different campaigns before and thus gives an idea of the output of industrial plants. The main focus of the measurements was the behavior of trace elements of Ni Pb, Zn, Cr and Cu with a changing bed material. One bed material was pre-used under the exposure of combustion of a ternary fuel mixture of coal, bark and paper sludge over a long period of time resulting in a bed composition of 2/3 SiO2 and 1/3 Al2O3. The second bed material utilized, which was a sand (primarily SiO2) not used before thus not enriched in any compounds. When comparing the results of all trials three different trace metal partitioning effects were monitored. First an increase in the elemental concentration in the bed material which was primarily due to the higher input concentration with the pre-used bed material which was found for all three alternatives plus a decrease in filter and cyclone concentrations (Ni, Pb). Secondly an increase in all three ash fractions was detected for Cu. The third was a mixture of both with increasing filter concentrations but decreasing cyclone concentrations (Zn, Cr). An attempt was made to link the before primarily to the enrichment in Al-compounds and to a bed capacity of retention. The results presented indicate the need for longer periods of testing even at small scaled facilities if the comparison to large scale facilities is attempted.
