  • To the Air Crew Exposure to Cosmic Radiation
    P-1a-44 To the Air Crew Exposure to Cosmic Radiation F. Spurny, I. Kovar, A. Malusek, K. Turek Department of Radiation Dosimetry, Nuclear Physics Insitute, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague INTRODUCTION The cosmic radiation is one of the contributor to the natural radiation environment. The level of exposure to it increases with the altitude. At the sea level the annual exposure level is about 0.3 mSv, at the air transport altitudes it can reach 10 µSv per hour. In 1990, the International Commission on Radiological Protection recommended that the radiation exposure due to the cosmic rays at high altitudes be taken into account where appropriate as part of occupational exposure to radiation (1). Air crew members have become in such a way another group of workers for whom exposure to ionising radiation is one of occupational hazard (2- 6). Preliminary estimation shows that the level of this exposure is in average higher than for the most of other occupationally exposed groups of persons. It should be also mentioned that there are significant differences in exposure conditions of aircraft crew and occupational exposures generally (6): • the fraction of absorbed dose deposited at high LET is much greater for air crew, about 50 % as compared to few percents only for others; and, as was noted, there are no useful human data for high LET radiation effects; and • there is a little more than one half of females in air crew, while they represent only few percents for other occupationally exposed persons. Both these two factors increase the importance of correct estimation of air crew exposure.

With more than 18,000 respondents living and working abroad, it is one of the most extensive expat studies in the world.

  • PI St Peter's Basilica
    www.osram.com 1/4 Press Munich, February 19, 2018 New lighting system for St. Peter’s Basilica taking shape Initial lighting tests show that illumination of the domes is 10 times brighter than before Planning for the new LED lighting system for the world’s largest church has entered its final phase: The lighting calculations and simulations have been successfully completed. In the basilica, the LED lighting system has been tested in many areas, and everyone involved is really pleased with the results. Tests show that the illumination level of the domes is 10 times brighter than before. The new indirect lighting system also eliminates unsightly drop shadows on the circular inscription, which is carved into the wall below the cornices of the basilica. “At St. Peter’s Basilica, we are able to demonstrate our lighting expertise once again,” says Olaf Berlien, CEO of OSRAM Licht AG. “A total of 700 custom-made luminaires with more than 100,000 powerful light-emitting diodes from Regensburg brilliantly illuminate this tremendous building in a way never seen before. And our technology will bathe individual works of art and statues at the Basilica in dazzling light.” “We are really pleased with the new lighting system for St. Peter's Basilica,” said Mons. Rafael De La Serrana Villalobos, Director Department Technical Services of the Governorate of the Vatican State (Servizi Tecnici del Governatorato dello Stato della Città del Vaticano). “During the first tests, we could clearly see details of artwork in the domes that we could only guess at in the past.” The innovative LED light sources will create an unforgettable visitor experience, much like the brilliant results achieved by Osram at the Sistine Chapel and the Raphael Rooms.

  • David Kraus (*1985 Prague)
    David Kraus (*1985 Prague) David in one of the „Prague Jewish Walks“, an annual educational program of the Czech Union of Jewish Students at the Old Jewish Cemetery in 2012. David was born into a Czech-German Jewish family of holocaust survivors in Prague, whose ancestors resided in the Prague Jewish Town already in the 16th Century, and learned under the rabbi Löw, the famous Maharal of Prague. David’s grandfather was a famous Jewish liberal prewar journalist, writer, anti-nazi activist and a well-known holocaust survivor. The family has a long tradition of being active in the kehila. David was one of very few Jewish children actively and bravely brought up by their parents and grandparents in the Jewish Community during the „dark ages“ of the communist 1980’s era, and remembers vividly the atmosphere of the community, being harassed and spied upon by the secret police, but also growing up amongst many „adoptive“ grandfathers and grandmothers, with whom they all shared common faith and destiny, as well as absolute trust, an atmosphere that is unfortunately long gone from the kehila… When the 1989: Velvet Revolution came, David’s father Tomas played an active role in the Jewish Community‘s transformation and became one of the leaders of the Czech Jewry in the post- communist era. Subsequently and naturally – following the family tradition – David became one of the leading youth activists of the Czech Jewry in the late 1990’s and 2000’s. He served as chair of the Czech Union of Jewish Students for over a decade, successfully working with hundreds of young Czech Jews and launching numerous projects, ie.

This project is being managed by EUROCITIES, the European network of major European cities (more than 250 000 inhabitants). Four other cities, Bologna (Italy), Prague (Czech Republic), Rotterdam (Netherlands) and Southampton (United Kingdom), are taking part in the project and have each set up a Local Authority Observatory on Active Inclusion (LAO). The aim of the project is to use local studies to examine how the EU’s active inclusion strategy is being implemented and working at local level. Two studies are being carried out within this project. The first report dealt with housing issues, and this one examines employment and active inclusion on the labour market. The purpose of these reports is to describe how policy at local level affects people at risk of social exclusion. The aim is to bring about mutual learning and use comparisons and good examples to attempt to influence future policy.
