    Abstract Data is provided from a validation example for a finite element model of a cold-formed steel trapezoidal sheet. The sheet is subjected to bending, failing due to local buckling. The numerical model and the validation procedure are carried out according to the new Eurocode 3 prEN1993-1-14 Design assisted by finite element analysis. Detailed information concerning all aspects needed to reproduce the example is included: (i) the nominal and measured values of the sheet geometry; (ii) the measured material properties of the steel; (iii) the test setup of the validation experiments; (iv) the experimental results; (v) a complete description of the finite element model and solution procedure; and (vi) the finite element results. Additionally, data related to sensitivity studies on the numerical model is also presented, including the effect of the model domain, meshing, and imperfections (shape, magnitude, direction and combinations). Overall, the article aims to provide data and guidance to designers and researchers validating similar numerical models.

    Abstract Background: Public and professional views strongly equate dignity among the dying with their abilities to make decisions about medical and personal treatment and care. To make these decisions requires cognitive processes that inform our understanding of circumstances by integrating thoughts, experiences, and perceptions with prior knowledge. But patients with terminal illnesses, especially cancer, often experience problems stemming from cognitive changes and the cognitive state of uncertainty that can interfere with knowing what options for care are essential to targeting their sense of dignity. This paper aims to propose and test a model that defines targets for dignity-conserving care from underlying cognitive changes as antecedents to uncertainty that impact psychological adjustment of patients with advanced cancer.
    Participants and procedure: This is a cross-sectional observational study using participant data from 257 patients with advanced cancer. The Patient Dignity Inventory and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale were administered to patients and analyzed according to model hypotheses.
    Results: Analyses used structural equational modeling to confirm model pathways. In the context of perceived dignity in advanced cancer, there was a direct pathway from patient reported problems with cognitive changes to uncertainty, that in turn had both direct and indirect effects on depression.
    Conclusions: The results suggest that cognitive changes challenge perceptions of dignity and can independently be targeted as modifiable processes to provide dignity-conserving care.

  3. Article: Reasons to Adopt ISO 50001 Energy Management System

    Marimon, Frederic / Casadesús, Martí

    Abstract Purpose: The main aim of this paper is to analyze the relationships between the corporate motivations that lead organizations to establish the ISO 50001 Energy Management System (EnMS) standard, and the difficulties and benefits derived from its adoption. Design/methodology/approach: Three independent exploratory factor analyses (EFA) were conducted in order to identify (i) sources of motivation: social requirements, ecology drivers, and competitive advantage; (ii) the difficulties of an ISO 50001 adoption: operational difficulties and organizational difficulty; and (iii) types of benefits: ecological benefits and operational benefits. In a second step, an exploratory path analysis, performed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), was used to analyze the relations among motivation, difficulties, and benefits related to the adoption of the ISO 50001 standard. Findings: Social requirements explain operational difficulties, which in turn impacts on operational benefits. Ecology drivers are directly related to ecological benefits. Organizational difficulties have an inverse relationship with operational and ecological benefits. Operational difficulties are related to operational benefits and ecological benefits. Research limitations/implications: The questionnaire was disseminated to 87 Spanish companies with ISO 50001 certification. Managers and other practitioners such as consultants, auditing companies, and official organizations in charge of developing standards might find useful implications. Originality/value: The standard was published in 2011 by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This paper contributes to assessment of the benefits of the standard by collecting information directly from the pioneer organizations that have adopted it, and provides clues on how to implement the standard and improve it in future.

    Abstract Objective: The objective of the study is to test a model in which perceived loss of dignity and control are proposed, along with symptoms of depression and functional impairment, as risk factors for the wish to hasten death (WTHD) in advanced cancer patients.
    Methods: This was a cross-sectional study of 193 patients in an oncology unit. Outcome measures included perceived control, performance status, symptoms of depression, perceived dignity, and the WTHD. Structural equation modeling was performed.
    Results: Structural equation modeling showed that perceived loss of control (-0.402) and functional impairment (-0.21) were risk factors for perceived loss of dignity. Loss of control (-0.385) and functional impairment (-0.283) were also risk factors for symptoms of depression. Perceived loss of dignity and symptoms of depression were the most proximal determinants of the WTHD, on which they had a direct, positive, and significant effect (0.246 and 0.209, respectively). Therefore, both symptoms of depression and perceived loss of dignity independently predicted the WTHD and mediated the effects of perceived loss of control and functional impairment on this wish.
    Conclusions: The hypothesized model provides evidence for the impact of the four aforementioned factors on the WTHD. Our results suggest that personalized care plans which are able to enhance the sense of dignity and control among advanced cancer patients could help to reduce the likelihood or intensity of a WTHD.

    Abstract In recent years there have been many approaches to understand the cross-country diffusion rate of the most common environmental management standards issued by the International Organization for Standardization, the ISO 14000 series, due to their spectacular growth around the world, even though a certain saturation has been detected in some countries. However, few studies have shed light on the diffusion process of these standards across sectors of activity. Therefore, the present paper examines whether there are patterns of diffusion of the ISO 14001 standard that are singular at specific sectors of economic activity. The analysis was carried out using a logistic curve that fits quite well to explain the nature of this growth, and instability and concentration indexes were calculated to analyze the evolution of the rankings of the sectors attending the number of certifications ISO 14001. It concludes that the diffusion among sectors is quite homogeneous: all sectors have experienced similar behavior. Moreover, the article proposes some suggestions for future research.
