Introduction to Onshore Wind Technology
Saturday February 13, 2020 10:00 AM EST

The Canadian Lebanese Academic Forum in association with the IEEE Notre Dame University (Lebanon) Student Branch presents a webinar: Introduction to Onshore Wind Technology:

Wind energy is one of the fastest growing sources of new electricity generation in the world today. These growth trends are linked to the benefits associated with wind energy including green power, sustainability, affordability and economic development. At the end of 2019, 60 GW of new wind capacity was added worldwide, bringing the cumulative installed capacity to 651 GW. Although three-bladed, upwind turbines emerged as the dominant configuration in the late 1980s, this design has since undergone numerous design improvements that have contributed toward greater reliability, increased energy generation and lower LCOE. In addition to scaling, wind turbine design has become more tailored to the specific market conditions where this technology is deployed. What does the present and future of wind turbine technology look like? What are the design trends, current challenges and technological innovation in today's wind industry? This webinar hosted by CLAF Associate Member Wind Turbine Engineer at DNV GL, Mr Adam Chehouri, will provide answers to these key questions.

ناهدة العاصي : الخدمات الطّبيّة في كيبيك..  موضوع يستحقّ إعادة النّظر

10/28/2020

 
ما دفعني للهجرة من وطنٍ يعشّش فيه الفساد بشتّى أشكاله وأنواعه هو الأمل في إيجاد مكان أكثر أمناً وأمانا. مكان أفضل تعليماً وأكثر استقراراً لي ولأسرتي. وظننت أنّ هذا المكان ستكون مدينة كيبيك حتّى اكتشفت العكس ورأيت الخلل القائمٍ ولمسته عن قرب. وكانت الدّهشة الكبرى أنني بدأت في استكشاف العديد من مكامن الخلل، الواحد تلو الآخر، وكأنّ الفساد الذي عايشته في الماضي في بلادي أراه اليوم يزحف نحو وطني الجديد كندا استعداداً لأخذ موقعه وبقوّةٍ في منظومة الفساد في القريب العاجل، ليبدو الأمن والأمان والتعليم والإستقرار حلماً بعيد  المدى إن تغاضينا عن حلّ كافّة المشاكل الأساسيّة المُعاشة حاليّاً ويعاني منها الجميع، بمن فيهم أنا وأسرتي.
أليس من المفترض أن تشكّل الخدمات الطبّبة صمّام الأمان للشعب في دولةٍ  بمصافّ أوائل دول العالم؟ الطبابة مجّانية في كيبيك. نعم! لكن كيف يمكن أن تغيب إستراتيجية التطوير والإصلاح المطلوبين عن نظامها الصحّي على كثير من الأصعدة؟  فهل كان هذا النّظام وليد البارحة؟ بالطبع لا! إذاً دعونا ندقّق في بعض الوقائع، وما يحصل على أرض الواقع المُعاش.
