El Colegio Americano de Medicina Deportiva (ACSM) publica anualmente un estudio que identifica las tendencias mundiales de fitness para el próximo año. El presente estudio reproduce la metodología del estudio de las tendencias del ACSM y pretende caracterizar las tendencias del fitness en Portugal para 2021 según profesionales y estudiantes bien como de practicantes del sector, comparando los resultados con estudios a nivel mundial, europeo y español. Además de la caracterización, se compararon las tendencias entre practicantes y profesionales/estudiantes, y en esta entre géneros, si ejercer o no funciones como profesional y tener el título de Técnico en Ejercicio Físico (TEF), Director Técnico (DT) o no tener título. En este estudio participaron 300 profesionales/estudiantes y 85 practicantes, qué respondieron a un cuestionario online diseñado para tal fin. Los resultados de los profesionales/estudiantes mostraron que las principales tendencias se refieren a licencias (títulos) para profesionales de fitness, empleo de profesionales de fitness certificados, entrenamiento personal, ejercicio para bajar de peso y estilo de vida saludable y cambio de comportamiento. Portugal tiende a estar más en línea con las tendencias europeas que con las mundiales. En la comparación entre profesionales y practicantes hay diferencias en 4 de 42 tendencias.

This week I start as the new DataCite Technical Director. While I get up to speed with existing DataCite services and infrastructure, and we start to launch new services (e.g. this blog), this is also a good time to communicate the overall approach I am taking. ...

The Twentieth Louis Blériot Memorial Lecture held jointly by the Society and the Association Française Ingenieurs et Techniciens de l’Aeronautique et de l’Espace (AFITAE) was given in London on 13th April by Monsieur Henri Deplante, Technical Director, Avions Marcel Dassault, on “Four Combat Aircraft Concepts”.The Chair was taken by Mr. A. D. Baxter, MEng, CEng, FRAeS, President of the Society. After welcoming French colleagues, especially Monsieur Jules Jarry, President d’Honneur of AFITAE, and several former Louis Blériot lecturers, Mr. Baxter said that Louis Btériot, one of France’s great aviation pioneers, had made the first practical link in aeronautics between their two countries; by the institution of this lecture they had initiated new technical links and provided inspiration on both sides of the Channel—he thought that inspiration had led to an industrial co-operation which they hoped would continue and extend to their mutual advantage.Introducing the lecturer, die President said that Monsieur Henri Deplante, who was now Technical Director of Avions Marcel Dassault, had been connected with aeronautical engineering since 1930 when he had joined the then Avions Marcel Bloch.Monsieur Deplante had served with the Free French Forces during the War; he was a member of the first Parachute Brigade in the Special Air Services and had been awarded the DSO. After the War he had helped to revive the French Aircraft Industry and the list of new aircraft which Dassault had designed in this post-war period was, he thought, evidence of his ability and success in that direction. Monsieur Deplante had lectured to four of the Society’s Branches since 1963 and they were delighted to have him as the 20th Louis Blériot Lecturer.

This book treats the most widespread application of high-power laser materials processing, that is, CO2 laser cutting. Although called CO2 laser cutting, most of the content of the book is also valid for cutting with other lasers such as Nd:YAG or Cu Vapor lasers. The technology is described in a very useful style by emphasizing practical aspects and by replacing highly scientific phrases by clear, illustrative explanations. Nevertheless, this guide through the complex field of laser cutting is accompanied by critical physical explanations throughout the whole book. It should be emphasized that Dr. Powell is the technical director of two job shops on laser cutting, but has also been highly active in science for many years. This ideal combination of practical experience with scientific know-how is reflected throughout the whole book by highlighting the practical aspects of laser cutting, often accompanied by very critical scientific explanations. It should be noted that the present second edition of the book differs from the first edition, printed in 1993, only by several pages that had to be updated according to the state of the art.
