Full textAbstract:
Projects are frequently used as a means to directly or indirectly achieving the goals of an organization’s strategic plan, and the Project Management Office [PMO] is responsible for standardizing the governance processes to achieve those objectives. When it comes to independent federal agencies, such as Central Banks, their strategic objectives have a relevant impact on economic stability and, consequently, on the lives of millions of people. In this study, the best practices of the PMOs of four Central Banks were examined. The question in the study addressed the manner in which the practice of projects can be used as a tool for achieving economic stability. Qualitative methods were used to examine the question by means of a structured questionnaire applied to project professionals of these institutions, and analysis of data available in case studies was also conducted. It was noted that Central Banks increasingly seek to improve the practices of their Project Management Offices, becoming a center of reference for best practices in PMOs obtaining relevant recognition, either for the maturity of their projects, receiving the title of best PMOs in the country, or even being nominated for PMO of the year on a global level (Project Management Award), the highest award in the project management category.

The project management system is being implemented in the activities of the state bodies of Kazakhstan. The methodological part consists in the development and approval of standard regulations and rules for project management. The organizational part of the project management system is determined by the work of the project office of state bodies, and information support is determined by the work of a unified information system. The purpose of the article was to analyze the work of the project management system, namely, the activities of the project office of the Ministry of Digital Development, Innovations and Aerospace Industry of the Republic of Kazakhstan (hereinafter – МDDIAI).As a result of this analysis,some shortcomings and gaps were identified, which are systematic and negatively affect the result of the project office. The authors of this study made and substantiated conclusions that show the real procedure for interaction of the МDDIAI project office with the national project office and other state bodies. In many ways, the problems of МDDIAI in the field of project management are of a similar nature for other state bodies. One of the main problems is the incomplete formation of project offices and the complexity of the perception of project management ideas by ordinary civil servants. Difficulties in the work of the МDDIAI project office may be relevant for other central and local state bodies, which will help to revise the current state policy in terms of project management implementation. The following research methods were used: document analysis, case studies, deduction, generalization and concretization.

ABSTRAK Penggunaan aplikasi EDMS di project office PT PHE ONWJ dinilai masih belum optimal karena masih lambat dalam pengunaan aplikasi EDMS. Oleh karena itu dilakukanlah penelitian ini dengan tujuan untuk mengoptimalkan jaringan yang digunakan untuk mengakses aplikasi EDMS pada project office PT PHE ONWJ. Pengoptimalan jaringan yang dimaksud adalah dengan membangun topologi di project office PT PHE ONWJ dan menerapkan metro sebagai perantara topologi star di project office dan topologi star dikantor pusat sehingga menciptakan topologi hybrid. Topologi hybrid yang dimaksud adalah penggabungan antara topologi star yang ada di jaringan pusat, metro sebagai perantara kantor pusat dengan project office PT PHE ONWJ dan topologi star yang akan dibangun di project office PT ONWJ. Diharapkan setelah menerapkan topologi yang telah dirancang dapat mengoptimalkan penggunaan aplikasi EDMS. Topologi star di project office PT ONWJ dan metro sebagai perantara 2 topologi kantor pusat dan project office menghasilkan topologi hybrid. Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini adalah penerapan topologi dalam jaringan dapat memberikan optimalisasi dibandingkan dengan tanpa menerapkan topologi. Hasil rata-rata ping saat pengaksesan aplikasi EDMS sebelum menerapkan topologi hybrid mendapatkan hasil sebesar 392,98 ms dan setelah menerapkan topologi hybrid mendapatkan hasil sebesar 143,50 ms, sehingga disimpulkan bahwa penerapan topologi hybrid lebih baik dalam menjalankan aplikasi EDMS. ABSTRACT The use of EDMS application in PT PHE ONWJ project office is considered not optimal because it is still slow in the use of EDMS applications. Therefore this study was conducted with the aim to optimize the network used to access the EDMS application on the PT PHE ONWJ project office. Network optimization in question is to build a topology in the project office of PT PHE ONWJ and apply the metro as an intermediate star topology in the project office and star topology at the headquarters so as to create a hybrid topology. Hybrid topology in question is a merger between the star topology in the central network, metro as an intermediary head office with PT PHE ONWJ project office and star topology to be built at PT ONWJ project office. It is expected that after applying the topology that has been designed to optimize the use of EDMS applications. Star topology in PT ONWJ project office and metro as intermediary 2 topology headquarters and project office produce hybrid topology. The conclusion of this research is application of topology in network can give optimization compared with without applying topology. The average result of ping when accessing EDMS application before applying hybrid topology got 392.98 ms result and after applying hybrid topology get result of 143,50 ms, so it is concluded that application of hybrid topology is better in running EDMS application.

Obligation to compensate for fossil fuel importers: a central measure of Swiss climate policy The Federal Act on the Reduction of CO2 Emissions (CO2 Act; CC 641.71) requires fossil fuel producers and importers as well as operators of fossil fuel power plants to use domestic measures to compensate for a part of their CO2 emissions. As a result, they carry out domestic emission reduction projects or programs to meet this requirement. Demonstrated emission reductions are documented with an attestation or counted directly towards the compliance. Eligible projects or programs include all greenhouse gases listed in Article 1 of the Ordinance on the Reduction of CO2 Emissions (CO2 Ordinance; CC 641.711) or involve biological CO2 sequestration (capture and storage of CO2) in wood products. The CO2 Ordinance sets out the requirements for the respective projects and programs: just like international projects under the Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol, compensation projects and programs in Switzerland must follow a specific procedure. The critical step in this procedure is to demonstrate that the reductions are additional, i.e. they would not have been achieved without the project/program. The instrument of compensation for fossil fuel importers contributes significantly to achieving national climate targets. The administrative office for compensation operated jointly by the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN) and the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE) is the contact point for project developers, validators and those with compensation obligations.

Shared decision making and shared leadership from multiple perspectives is essential in order for true educational transformation to occur. A collaborative research effort between the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota Office of Educational Leadership (OEL) provided data on the perceptions of principals at twenty-two urban, suburban, and rural schools participating in the transformation process. Ethnographic techniques were used to gather data to understand the development of leadership skills, shared governance, and shared vision at individual sites Findings from the indepth interviews indicate that an awareness of obstacles to change are a necessary first step toward implementing change; a majority of principals support some degree of site-centered decision making; central office administration needs to facilitate site autonomy; and examples of site autonomy and true shared governance exist.

This paper highlights the main findings of a study carried out within the framework of the European Commission's Tempus programme on university–enterprise cooperation in Central and Eastern Europe. The study was launched in 1996 by the Commission with the technical assistance of the European Training Foundation and developed with the European Centre for Strategic Management of Universities (ESMU) and the Slovak Tempus Office. The author presents the results of desk research on a sample of Tempus projects, and sets out the conclusions and recommendations to policy makers, to project promoters and to the Tempus programme. She describes the nature of university–enterprise cooperation projects in Central and Eastern European countries, showing the active role of individuals, development agencies, local authorities and various interface structures. However, she points out that university–enterprise cooperation is still confronted by major constraints linked to people (the vision of the university, the place of university–enterprise cooperation in that vision, the lack of initiatives and skills to develop it) and to systems (the internal management structure of universities, the hierarchical positioning of university representatives, the legal framework and degree structure which impact on agreements between universities and enterprises).

There may appear to be little point in an “outsider” attempting to write about the censorship of the historical record. Those employed to vet official records in Great Britain perform their task behind closed doors; and since even the titles of the files they continue to withhold are often kept a secret, scholars have little opportunity to question their decisions. As editor of the Central Africa volume of the British Documents on the End of Empire project (BDEEP), my own status is certainly that of an outsider. Established in 1987, BDEEP seeks to make available an edited and annotated selection of British government documents from The National Archives (TNA), formerly the Public Record Office, charting developments in colonial policy during the decolonisation era. Yet although its volumes are published by the Stationery Office, BDEEP is emphatically not an official publication.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis examines the perceived importance by two-tiered management of Cooperative Research Centres (CRCs) for managing a range of intellectual property issues. Fifty survey items are presented to the executive directors and
commercialization managers of 62 CRCs. The survey items are categorized under four themes: relationships with collaborators, project management; design and implementation of agreements; and specific licensing issues. An analysis of the data, using a series of independent samples t-tests, repeated measures t-tests, chi-square tests for independence or relatedness and goodness of fit, shows a range of results. There are significant differences between executive directors and commercialization
managers on a number of issues. There are particular emphases or trends about certain issues for the whole sample of managers.
These findings are compared with text analyses of 23 CRC strategic planning documents. This is done in order to explore any similarity, difference or nuance between what the managers say in response to the survey items, compared with what is stated in the codified policies of the CRCs. While there is a high degree of
consistency among certain themes between the two sets of findings, the overall analysis points to the need for the CRCs to have a better understanding and practice of commercialization opportunities, especially through the involvement of third party commercial interests. It is argued that accommodating third party commercialization interests involves the application of an important knowledge economy principle that has an important bearing on the future economic viability and competitiveness of the CRCs.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this research project is to determine empirically the roles of principals as
instructional leaders. Ever since a new educational era started in the new South Africa, schools
cannot afford to be led by ignorant school principals. For schools to be efficient, instructional
leadership roles have to be defined and each role should be carried out diligently.
Success in schools can only be realised if school principals are capable of implementing the
school curriculum according to instructional leadership principles. The tasks of instructional
leadership have to be streamlined. The school principal must concentrate on the most important
and key functions of his work. This approach would lead to the realisation of the school vision
and mission
Both quantitative and qualitative research paradigms and methodologies were used for
gathering data from eighty-four public schools in the Setla-Kgobi Area Project Office of the
Central Region in the North-West Province. Participating schools were randomly selected. The
sample consisted of forty-two schools (thirty primary schools, six middle schools, six secondary
schools) and eight randomly selected teachers from each school were used in the study to
answer questionnaires. Nine school Principals or Deputy Principals from Setla-Kgobi Area
Project Office (i.e:- three primary schools, three middle schools and three secondary schools
Principals or Deputy Principals) were purposefully used in the study to answer interview
questions
A quantitative approach was used to quantitatively analyse derived data. The Statistical Package
for Social Sciences (SPSS) was employed with the help of the statistical consultant of the
North-West University. The computation of percentages, mean, standard deviation and Chi-square
was conducted. Secondly, a qualitative descriptive approach was used to analyse data
that was qualitatively gathered. A Textually Oriented Data Analysis (TODA) strategy was
adopted in this regard.
The findings exposed that principals were not effectively fulfilling their roles of instructional
leadership. The findings also revealed that principals were not monitoring and moderating the
quality of education that students were getting from teachers. Principals were found to be
ineffective and they failed to plan their work adequately.
Recommendations given by the participants suggest that there is need for principals to be more
focused. They .also need to have a vision and mission statement for their schools. More energy
should be directed at monitoring the quality of learning and teaching that takes place in schools.
Participants reflected a poor picture of principals as instructional leaders. More effort should be
put into the students' instructional achievement, teacher motivation, supervision of training and
the use of external subject experts. Whole curriculum evaluation should be earned out regularly
at every school, so as to provide feedback to students and teachers. Principals should have
checklists that will guide them towards the realisation of their aims and objectivesThesis (M.Ed) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2010

Dissertação de mestrado em Industrial EngineeringIn recent years, new structures have emerged within organizations to improve project execution and performance, such as the Project Management Office (PMO). PMO is an organizational structure that aims to promote and improve project management (PM) practices, using appropriate methodologies to achieve elevated levels of effectiveness and efficiency. A PMO is an asset when well implemented and studies on the concept of PMO as a support structure for organizations are already extensive. However, very little research has been done on PMO structures dedicated to supporting university research centers (URC). The organizational context of URC, by their nature, is different from the organizational context of other organizations. Therefore, it is important to know what type of PMO, its functions and responsibilities (F&R), and how it should be implemented within the organizational context of a URC. Thus, this research proposes to conceptualize a PMO structure for URC. To this end, a questionnaire was conducted for researchers from URC around the world and a set of interviews were carried out with research staff of research centers from University of Minho. Research indicates that researchers are receptive to the creation of PMO structures in their URC and suggest the implementation of a PMO structure with a set of F&R divided into three PMO typologies with different levels. Since part of the data was obtained through the dissemination of the questionnaire, there was difficulty either in collecting or making available the contacts of the respondents or in getting answers from the respondents and, therefore, the response rate was quite low. Research shows that there is a need to properly analyze the context in which URC operate and that the PMO structures to be implemented differ from the common context of organizations.
Nos últimos anos, novas estruturas têm surgido dentro das organizações para melhorar a execução e o desempenho dos projetos, tais como o Project Management Office (PMO). O PMO é uma estrutura organizacional que tem como finalidade promover e melhorar as práticas de gestão de projetos, adotando metodologias apropriadas para atingir níveis altos de eficácia e eficiência. Um PMO é uma mais-valia quando bem implementado e já são vastos os estudos realizados sobre o conceito de PMO como estrutura de suporte às organizações. No entanto, pouca pesquisa foi realizada sobre o conceito de PMO dedicado ao suporte de centros de investigação. O contexto organizacional dos centros de investigação, pela sua natureza, é diferente do contexto organizacional comum das organizações. Portanto, urge saber qual o tipo de PMO, as suas funções e responsabilidades e como este deve ser implementado dentro do contexto organizacional de um centro de investigação. Assim sendo, esta pesquisa propõe-se a conceptualizar uma estrutura de PMO no contexto dos centros de investigação. Para tal, foi conduzido um questionário, a nível global, a investigadores de centros de investigação e realizado um conjunto de entrevistas a investigadores de centros de investigação da Universidade do Minho. A pesquisa indica que existe recetividade por parte dos investigadores para a criação de estruturas de PMO nos seus centros de investigação e sugere a implementação de uma estrutura de PMO com um conjunto de funções e responsabilidades dividida em três tipos, com diferentes níveis entre si. Uma vez que parte dos dados da pesquisa foram obtidos através da disseminação do questionário, houve dificuldade na obtenção de respostas por parte dos investigadores e, portanto, a taxa de resposta resultante foi baixa. A pesquisa mostra que existe a necessidade de analisar adequadamente o contexto em que os centros de investigação se inserem e que as estruturas de PMO a implementar diferem do contexto comum das organizações.

The approach used in the study was quantitative in that the primary instrument of
data collection was a questionnaire. The target population was school managers,
financial committees arid school governing bodies. Copies of questionnaire were
distributed to 124 respondent and 110 out of were returned.
The data was presented in tables and analysed using basic statistic. The findings
revealed financial committees and School managers did not have adequate training
in financial management and Financial policies need to be developed at schools to
assist managers, financial committee members and SGB's with proper financial
control. The provincial Department of Education need to conduct a skill audits at
schools to establish the gaps that might exist in schools particularly with regard to
financial management, so as to design suitable training that will assist financial
committees and school managers to be able to manage funds effectively and
efficiently. Management of school finances is one of the most important areas in
school management. Financial control ensures that transactions are recorded
accurately. Therefore school managers together with financial committees need to
be conversant with various approaches of financial control and record keeping.(MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2005

Dissertação de mestrado em Engenharia IndustrialA gestão de projetos é uma área nobre da gestão cada vez mais presente no quotidiano de uma organização. Quando a importância da organização aumenta, os desafios que a gestão de projetos tem de enfrentar também aumentam, e a criação de uma resposta eficaz a esses desafios torna-se essencial. Um Project Management Office (PMO) é uma entidade que tem como principal objetivo facilitar a gestão de projetos na organização. O PMO irá apoiar a resolução dos principais desafios e otimizar as melhores práticas dentro da organização, a fim de que sejam minimizados os erros cometidos na gestão dos projetos e sejam maximizados os processos e as lições aprendidas entre projetos. A grande dificuldade surge quando é necessário decidir quais as funções específicas a implementar num PMO tendo em conta o contexto organizacional. É consensual que uma organização deve fazer um estudo das diferentes tipologias de PMO existentes de forma a que a implementação do PMO na organização seja mais consciente e com maiores probabilidades de sucesso. A implementação de um PMO deve ser cuidadosa e bem estudada, não deve ser uma imitação dos PMOs de outras organizações, cada organização tem as suas necessidades e as suas características. Não existem dúvidas de que um PMO bem implementado traz vantagens a todo o tipo de organizações e os Centros de Investigação não serão uma exceção. Um PMO num Centro de Investigação pode facilitar o trabalho dos investigadores e pode aumentar o número de projetos bem-sucedidos do centro, colocando desta forma o Centro de Investigação num nível de competitividade superior ao que ele se encontra sem um PMO. No entanto, surgem questões tais como, qual o tipo de PMO mais adequado para um Centro de Investigação, quais as funções que um PMO neste tipo de organizações deve desempenhar e por onde devemos começar quando queremos implementar um PMO num Centro de Investigação. Sendo assim, este trabalho propõe-se a conceptualizar uma estrutura de PMO para Centros de Investigação. Partindo de uma conceptualização inicial construída com base nos PMOs existentes na literatura foi conduzido um questionário dirigido a investigadores dos Centros de Investigação de forma a propor uma concetualização específica de PMO para Centros de Investigação.
Project Management is perceived as a tool of growing value in the every-day life of an organisation. When the importance of the organization increases, the challenges that project management has to face also increase, and the creation of an effective response to these challenges becomes essential. A Project Management Office (PMO) is an entity whose main goal is to facilitate project management within the organisation. Therefore, a PMO will provide support to face the main challenges and will optimize the best practices in a way that mistakes made during project management are minimized, and processes and lessons learned are enhanced. One of the biggest issues that a PMO faces relies on the decision of in what organisation context should a PMO be implemented and which specific functions should they perform. There is a consensus that an organisation should perform a study of the different PMO typologies in order to increase the PMO implementation awareness and probability of success. Hence, the implementation of it should be careful, well assessed and should never be perceived as a mere reproduction of a PMO from similar organisations, since each organisation has its own needs and characteristics. There are no doubts that a well implemented PMO conveys advantages to all different types of organisations, and Research Centres are no exception. A PMO in a Research Centre can facilitate the work of researchers and increase the number of successful projects of the center, thereby placing the Research Centre at a level of competitiveness higher than it would be without the PMO. However, when a Research Centre decides to implement a PMO, there are issues that arise, such as, which PMO typology is the most adequate, which functions should the implemented PMO perform or even, from where the implementation ought to take place. As thus, this study main purpose is to conceptualise a PMO structure for Research Centres. From an initial conceptualisation built based on existing literature was conducted a questionnaire to researchers in order to propose a specific PMO conceptualization for Research Centres.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractSimilarities may be seen in the development of tourism in Japan and Switzerland during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, especially in terms of the origins and purpose of their respective national tourism offices. In the twenty-first century, however, fundamental differences became evident. During the first decades of the twenty-first century, Switzerland, that had been quick to see the opportunities of e-tourism, was less dynamic in response to the fourth and fifth industrial revolutions, whereas the opposite happened in Japan. Switzerland as with Austria and Germany, adopted a traditional concept of DMO’s that was location-base and limited regionally by administrative boundaries. The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) development after Web1.0 and the emergence of mobile applications have challenged this concept. A more contemporary view is based more on network travel and visitor flows rather than physical territory. The Japan Central government decided to adopt the western DMO concept as regional tourism policy, but relatively late in 2016.The aim of this innovative research project is to analyze the adoption/implementation of the new concept of DMO’s focusing on Switzerland and Japan. For Switzerland, the main barrier is the scarcity of data given the slower uptake of the technology emanating from the fourth and fifth industrial revolutions. In Japan, the situation may be seen to be inverted, given the country’s proclivity to adopt the advantages from the latest industrial revolution. This may mean that Japan could leapfrog the traditional DMO concept. This research presents the Bass’ analysis of DMO’s websites as a proxy of DMO concepts – traditional or new generation.

Immediately following the Garbage Offensive, the Young Lords established an office headquarters in East Harlem, deepened its ties to the welfare rights movement in New York and established a police-watch project in the community. The group also fortified its organizational structure. Two of its Central Committee members Pablo Guzman and Juan Gonzalez drafted a Thirteen-Point Program and Political Platform. The group also developed a rubric for political education, and established an organizational routine for integrating new members and deepening the training of existing ones.

Although they serve different communities with differing cultural belief systems, both the THPO and the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) share very similar preservation-centric goals. Florida is a very long state, and the relationship between the SHPO (in Tallahassee) and the THPO (in Big Cypress) presents a challenge to employees of both offices with little opportunity for interaction. Nevertheless, the similarity in mission and cooperative personnel have resulted in a fruitful relationship between the two institutions. This is not to say that culturally mandated project–based disagreements don’t exist. However, staff at both offices demonstrate the cultural and professional respect necessary to work well with one another. Opportunities to collaborate on projects of mutual interest have strengthened this relationship, and we have found much common ground. A view from outside the THPO is always welcome as we learn from one another.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter describes a pioneering effort: an academic-practitioner partnership between the Office of Chief Counsel of the US Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and a multidisciplinary team of university-based experts to develop usable, trainable knowledge and skills designed to improve the ability and performance of government lawyers under highly challenging conditions. The methodology and results—training designs and good practice models—of the FEMA Legal Advice in Crisis project are summarized. Furthermore, the chapter addresses the question of whether challenges and good practices for crisis lawyering identified through empirical research focusing on US government leaders and lawyers are unique to the United States or whether they also apply to a significant extent to other highly developed countries as well such as Sweden. The results of an ongoing parallel initiative linking the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB), the Swedish Defense University, and a growing network of government lawyers serving both Swedish central government agencies and county boards demonstrate the potential relevance of “localized” versions of the Legal Advice in Crisis framework and instructional design in non-US settings as well.

Full textAbstract:
Clinical trials are carried out to prove the safety and effectiveness of new interventions and therapies. As diseases and their causes continue to become more specific, so do inclusion and exclusion criteria for trials. Patient recruitment has always been a challenge, but with medical progress, it becomes increasingly difficult to achieve the necessary number of cases. In Germany, the Medical Informatics Initiative is planning to use the central application and registration office to conduct feasibility analyses at an early stage and thus to identify suitable project partners. This approach aims to technically adapt/integrate the envisioned infrastructure in such a way that it can be used for trial case number estimation for the planning of multicenter clinical trials. We have developed a fully automated solution called APERITIF that can identify the number of eligible patients based on free-text eligibility criteria, taking into account the MII core data set and based on the FHIR standard. The evaluation showed a precision of 62.64 % for inclusion criteria and a precision of 66.45 % for exclusion criteria.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter assesses whether Byzantium was an empire. The characteristics of empires, once they have come into existence by the conquest of territory and established a unified central administrative system, have been expressed by one scholar as consisting of their capacity to administer and exploit diversity; the existence of a transportation system designed to serve the imperial center militarily and economically and of systems of communication allowing administration of the subject areas from the center; the assertion of a monopoly of force within their territories; and an “imperial project” that imposed some type of unity throughout the system. One might add to this list the existence of a legal framework. Byzantium had all of these, even though it grew out of an earlier imperial system, and its territorial extent varied greatly over time. It also demonstrated a remarkable determination to maintain itself, through the continuity of imperial office and ideology, sustained by a learned culture, access to which the emperors themselves sought to control. It maintained this symbolic continuity even in the face of the constant instability of the throne itself. The chapter then addresses how the consideration of Byzantium as an empire has been complicated by the model of a “Byzantine commonwealth,” put forward by Dimitri Obolensky in his well-known book published with that title in 1971.

Full textAbstract:
Since the beginning of its Republican history, the Italian political system has functioned according to two rather different logics. From 1948 to 1994 the Christian Democratic Party was uninterruptedly in office, often in coalition, while the Communist Party remained the major opposition party. After the collapse of these parties, a new system based on the alternation between a centre-right and a centre-left coalition emerged. To date the Italian Policy Agendas Project has released six datasets covering party manifestos, parliamentary questions, investiture speeches, laws, decrees, and budgetary data. Through their analysis, it is possible to assess the elements of stability and change that characterized Italian politics since the mid-eighties as well as some recent evolutions such as the mediatization and personalization of politics, the crisis of mainstream parties, and the advent of anti-establishment and populist parties as key actors of the system.

Full textAbstract:
This book shows how to answer questions that provide guidance to the most important decisions in real estate: Should I buy? Should I build? Will the market support the decision? Before developers or investors commit to a project, they must have answers to these questions if they are to remain profitable in the long run. No generic answers will fit all real estate decisions at all times, because the circumstances differ so much between projects. Therefore, in addition to examples of the methodology that is generally accepted in the industry, this book provides explanations for why the methodology is used. True understanding provides the versatility that is needed in ever-changing markets. May I build a residential subdivision here? May I build a class A office building there? Such questions are important, but are better dealt with by planners, zoning officials, and attorneys. Is appropriate zoning available? If not, what would be involved in changing the present zoning to accommodate the proposed development? Answering “permission” questions often involves political considerations, which reflect the taste preferences of citizens and politicians and are a byproduct of the local power structure. Therefore, real estate development involves political decisions, as well as market analysis. The market analyst addresses a different scope of issues than the permission questions address. The market analyst provides information and guidance to the investor, buyer, seller, financier, and planner (See Pyhrr et al. 1989, Vernor 1986, Fanning et al. 1995, Delisle and Sa-Aadu 1994, Brueggeman and Fisher 1996). Funding for development or purchase usually falls upon lending institutions. Lending institutions require market analysis as input for their consideration before they commit to funding. Otherwise, they are jeopardizing the financial viability of their institution. The decision to lend without appropriate market analysis is no more than gambling. Some projects may be successful, some may not. Banking regulations require due diligence in the lending decision to evaluate the exposure to risk by the lending institution. So business geographic real estate market analysis is central to the risk management of those who carry the burden of responsibility for the investment.

Full textAbstract:
This paper describes the creation of the Open Class 60 (BOC 60) racing yacht "Imagine". She was conceived to win the 1994 BOC singlehanded round the world race, an ambitious goal since the French sailors have dominated the race since its inception. This paper will examine the design of this complex racing machine, and the management of the project. The project produced a boat that was capable of attaining the goal of winning, but when the project management office failed to adhere to the project plan, the project unravelled and collapsed. In a squall at sea, at night, off Cape May, New Jersey, "Imagine's" boom failed, the main sail was dropped, and in the resultant short steep seas, "Imagine" slammed badly, dishing plating at both ends of the vessel, causing two forward frames to trip, and resulting in other structural damage to forward deck longitudinals and in the cockpit. "Imagine's" hull remained watertight, and she returned to Norfolk under short sail. Upon arrival she was inspected, and the necessary repair steps were outlined. These were discussed the following day with the project office and the ABS inspector. Within days drawings were provided to the project office for repair and to ABS for review. At that point matters stalled, no repair was started and within two week-; the project office announced their intent to abandon the project. The project plan will be reviewed, the basis for the design will be discussed, the incident at sea which precipitated the project's disbanding will be examined, and an analysis of the resultant damage given. Lessons learned from the project will be discussed. The actual design of the boat was interesting and rewarding, but it was a small part of the goal of the project. The goal was not attained, and when the BOC race started from Charleston in September 94, "Imagine" remained at the dock, her outfit and development incomplete. This paper will attempt to evaluate the reasons why. Two central themes repeat: lack of funds; and lack of sea trials. In our opinion it was this lack of funds, that led the project office to eliminate carefully planned steps in "Imagine's" development, specifically the sea trials. This also lead them to attempt an offshore voyage from Norfolk, Virginia to Newport, Rhode Island in November 1993, prior to sea trials, with a known defective boom, and a jury rigged boom vang.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to describe uncertainty of the Global Rural-Urban Mapping Project (GRUMP) data based on Polish population reference grid created by the Central Statistical Office of Poland, using INSPIRE grid coding system. The adopted population data uncertainty analysis methodology combined three different approaches, i.e. simple change detection algorithm to obtain discrepancies at the grid cell level, statistical analytical approach to investigate these discrepancies’ frequency distribution, and GIS approach to analyse spatial pattern of distinguished population difference classes. The results showed significant differences in population count at the grid cell level. The maximum magnitude of GRUMP vs. Polish Reference Grid overestimation equals 4087 people per 1 sq. km, while the underestimation equals 20,086 people per 1 sq. km. Very few grid cell shows no difference in population count, i.e. 1.5% of total grid cell count. GRUMP data overestimates Polish total population by 0.15%, while it underestimates the average population density by 50%. The highest population underestimations were identified in the centers of the cities, while suburban areas were characterised by the large and regular population overestimations within GRUMP dataset. These GRUMP dataset imperfections can be attributed to country-specific administrative divisions and to the varying effectiveness of the urban centers delimitation mapping using the night sky light intensity, including blooming effects as well as not frequently illuminated small settlements.

Full textAbstract:
During the past decade the globally networked digital technologies that operate within the realm of the internet have encouraged academicians and educators the world over to communicate, collaborate, and share knowledge. They have stimulated the creation of transgeographic educational initiatives which broaden the opportunities of learners and are an effective means of eradicating ethnocentrism, xenophobia, and cultural divides. The construction of transgeographic learning communities within the unmapped virtual forest of the internet requires an organized and systematic approach. Success is dependent on committed participants; a shared learning platform; a clear understanding of purpose; extensive student and instructor preparedness towards technology usage; exemplary curricula; a central focus for investigation; interaction with experts; extensive opportunities for intellectual discourse; and collaboration. The purpose of this paper is to offer an independent examination of a successful technology-dependent transgeographic learning project that serves as a model from which to base future projects. The Summer Ecosystems Experience for Undergraduates (SEE-U) is available to colleges and university students worldwide, operating at three geographically distinct locations concurrently. The program includes global networking, GPS and GIS usage, a shared investigative focus, real-time interactions, data collection, a globally networked geo-referenced digital database that was specifically created for this project, data manipulation, online lectures, bulletin board discussions, Web-based office hours, links to relevant resources, expert presenters, online demonstration videos, networked simulations, collaborative research, and a series of student presentations.

Full textAbstract:
Subject librarians are uniquely poised to facilitate conversations and assistance about scholarly communication topics to faculty and students -- helping make the connections between scholarly communication and discipline-specific research. The University of Central Florida (UCF) Libraries offers a unique intersection between scholarly communication and subject librarians by implementing a robust subject librarian model that includes activities related to scholarly communication and partnering with UCF’s Office of Scholarly Communication to provide support on a variety of topics to the campus community. In particular, this model has been particularly effective with STEM disciplines. The subject librarians in these respective disciplines have actively partnered with the Office of Scholarly Communication to provide a series of workshops targeted to STEM faculty on topics such as predatory publishing. These conversations have prompted invitations to speak at college and department meetings and to provide additional assistance and support on these scholarly communication topics. It has also led to a research project conducted by the science, engineering and computer science librarians and the Scholarly Communication Librarian on the open access publishing practices and trends of UCF STEM faculty to help better inform conversations and research support to these faculty. This article will explore the various ways in which this unique model aids UCF Libraries in providing scholarly communication support to faculty and students in an effective way and will share specific strategies and examples that readers can practically implement at their respective institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The paper presents the process of setting up the competency model of the Project Management Office of the Naklo Biotechnical Centre where professional generic and professional specific competencies are identified and defined for individual work posts: project office manager, project manager, project coordinator and expert. The complexity of the competencies of the employees are of large range and highly dispersed. They often manage several roles at the same time and their work involves coordination of number interrelated fields and phases of project work in order to achieve the objectives and results of the project. The identification and description of individual competencies enables the set-up of the first competency model of the Project Management Office of the Naklo Biotechnical Centre, which is a database of competencies. Combinations of knowledge, skills, behaviour and personal characteristics are defined and expected to be mastered by the project office employees. For the organisation, the model represents the adequate tool for further development of different staff providing systems and management of the work of the project office employees.

Full textAbstract:
After Fukushima nuclear power generation plant accident disaster, all of residents in the area contaminated by radioactivity, and all public facilities are evacuated to surrounding regions or more remote cities by central government’s directions. So refugee temporary housing estates are scattered and aged people left there after six years since the disaster. Namie town is the biggest one in these area. City of Nihonmastu is typical Japanese castle town city and adjacent to contaminated area, and accepted many Nanie refugees, temporary housings, town office and schools, hospitals and industry site, so on. Fukushima Namie Recovering Project team, organized by NPO Shinmachi-Namie and Waseda university, proposed Network-community connecting several refugee housing estates, evacuated public facilities and other city cores. It is necessary to connect them and reintegrate their community facilitating “supporting system for network community” in practice. This vision of Network-community would be adapted to the historical stable region, which involves various dispersed, aged and isolated communities. Nihonmatsu, as the Castle Town City of Nakadori-region in Fukushima prefecture, attracts people’s attention by its historical urban areas, old streets and lots of unoccupied housing and so on. That is, it is very hard to let Nihonmatsu people think optimistically about the shelter for Namie evacuees. Nevertheless, the areas of Nakadori region including Nihonmatsu may cooperate with the Namie evacuee and energize the ruined coastline by “Network Community” – the network that encompasses various historical traditions that still exist today as the regional resources; thus, the vision of future Fukushima is expectable.

Abstract The relevance is on South of Oman operating critical sour fields with high pressure (500- 1000bar), H2S, CO2 up to 10% and 25% respectively. The field operations team, maintenance personnel, contractors, vendors conduct their activities with proper PPE adhering to safe operating procedures. However, during emergency, there is always a challenge to track, reach out and respond to people within Emergency Planning Zone (EPZ) extending to 100's of Sq.Km. This paper highlights the challenges in Emergency Response process - release of H2S gas cloud and the solution by embracing the digital technologies during these "mission critical" operations A project had been taken on board to address the above-mentioned Emergency response challenges for real time tracking of all workforces including contractors within EPZ area and respond in a timely manner. Four key critical sour operating facilities with different complexities, infrastructure, and aging order had been considered. Company together with solution supplier had selected a cloud connected personal gas monitoring device with real time location tracking, voice over capability and multi gas sensors after thorough evaluation of sensor compatibility, Compliance to standards, Data security, Total Cost of Ownership and Deployment Staircase. Implementation had been mapped adhering the baseline stipulated in corporate Emergency Response Procedure including the mitigation controls Different valid observations are recorded from the team travelling to sour wells / Manifolds scattered at remote locations with distance ranging from 20 km to 80 km from the central processing Facility and field operating personnel working in High pressure, sour Gas Injection compressors with discharge pressure up to 450barg. The application has been scaled to cover the red zones as well yellow zones for tracking people in Central processing Facility. Well defined feedback strategy based on Bottom-Up approach, sessions with super users, Dynamic scenarios as part of routine emergency drill with the front-line team together with key stakeholders had resulted in enhancements along the product roll out. Flexibility in accessing the application from control room, Local Emergency Control Centre through office domain Network and the data visualization were proven to compliment the present emergency response capabilities. Ultimately, the team could react, respond, and reach out to people during H2S gas release scenario in a timely manner The team has adopted Industry 4.0 digital transformation - cloud hosted Software as a Service application with real time data available at endpoints, accessible through Role bases access control privileges. The Post Implementation Review results on sensors, application, effect on work process and culture will be part of the detailed presentation

Los estudios sobre transformaciones metropolitanas recientes focalizan en las intervenciones en centros
metropolitanos, periurbano y los ejes que los articulan. Las áreas centrales fueron escenario de operaciones
públicas y desarrollos inmobiliarios en sus zonas históricas, portuarias y costeras. En el periurbano se
localizaron enclaves cerrados destinados a sectores de alto poder adquisitivo. Estas áreas centrales y
periféricas se articulan por redes de autopistas concesionadas y por corredores consolidados
tradicionalmente, que cobran gran dinamismo con la localización de hipermercados, shoppings centers,
complejos de cine, y edificios de oficinas. Sin embargo, estos estudios soslayan las amplias zonas
intermedias, entre el centro y el periurbano, que cobran particular interés, tanto para la inversión pública

presentarse como un laboratorio para pensar las transformaciones recientes, y sus posibles lógicas de
intervención. The studies about the recent metropolitan transformations focus on interventions in metropolitan centers, suburban and the axles that articulate them. The central areas were the scene of public operations and

Monitoring of meteorological or/and oceanographic conditions is done on many Oil & Gas platforms offshore West and Central Africa (from Nigeria to Angola), but it is often only used in real-time and not necessarily archived on a hard-drive, or it is protected by each company’s IT firewalls thus making it difficult to send the information to the “outer world”. In 2010, TOTAL Oil & Gas Operator launched a project to give remote and public access to this real-time wind, current and also wave or other meteorological / oceanographic (“metocean”) data. The objectives of this initiative were multiple: • Improve weather and ocean hindcasts and forecasts, which will be beneficial to all Oil & Gas operations in Africa, • Help feed a database for future O&G developments; • Enable design checks after ∼1 year of operation; • Serve as a “black box” in case of an incident which could be due to environment; • Help feed or validate ocean and oil spill drift forecast in case of emergency; • Contribute to the international effort of monitoring the oceans in the long term (operational oceanography, climate change, etc.); • Encourage capacity building in Africa by supporting development and maintenance of technical solutions to reach objectives In 2013, with the support of the French Meteorological Office Météo-France, the data from half a dozen platforms offshore Nigeria, Congo and Angola will be available on the World Meteorological Organization’s (WMO) Global Telecommunication System (GTS). This paper will present the type of metocean stations that are part of this network “MODANET”, the IT architecture that was selected to send it out of the Company’s network, the quality control undertaken by Meteo France before sending it to the GTS, and future possible use of the data that are envisaged.

The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Central Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA) Acceptance Lab was opened on March 29, 2018 at the Office of Materials Management (OMM) facility in Indianapolis. The state-of-the-art lab conducts acceptance testing on HMA samples from INDOT’s Crawfordsville and Greenfield districts, as well as testing of appeals samples from the other four INDOT districts. Each HMA sample undergoes multiple sequences acceptance testing processes. In 2019, project SPR-4353 “Central HMA Acceptance Lab Process Improvement Project” was conducted with the goal to improve organization, flow of work and efficiency in the central region HMA Acceptance Lab for all tests done, and provide implementation leading to the reduction of turnaround time from six days to four days. This project follows key recommended actions from SPR-4353 to implementation.

Full textAbstract:
This report summarises key institutional lessons that emerged from a Learning Journey commissioned by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) for its Covid-19 Responses for Equity (CORE) programme. Learning Journeys are a research method developed by the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) to support collaborative scoping processes and provide participants with structured spaces to learn, discuss issues, and to reflect on their day-to-day work and how to apply learning. CORE was designed as a rapid response mechanism to address the sudden global shifts caused by the Covid-19 pandemic. The initiative supports 21 research projects with Southern partners across 42 countries. It seeks to understand the socioeconomic impacts of the pandemic, improve existing responses, and generate better policy options for recovery. The CORE Learning Journey was managed by the ‘Knowledge Translation’ (KT) supplier for CORE, the UK-based IDS. It brought together grantees, IDRC senior management, Regional Directors (RD), Program Officers (PO), and IDS staff, to share experiences and reflect on the successes and challenges of the CORE programme. It was framed around a central learning question: What are the key lessons to emerge from the IDRC experience of funding CORE as a responsive mechanism to provide innovative Southern-led policy and practice solutions in the context of a rapid onset and rapidly evolving global crisis?

Mohammadian, Abolfazl, Amir Bahador Parsa, Homa Taghipour, Amir Davatgari, and Motahare Mohammadi. Best Practice Operation of Reversible Express Lanes for the Kennedy Expressway. Illinois Center for Transportation, September 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.36501/0197-9191/21-033.
Full textAbstract:
Reversible lanes in Chicago’s Kennedy Expressway are an available infrastructure that can significantly improve traffic performance; however, a special focus on congestion management is required to improve their operation. This research project aims to evaluate and improve the operation of reversible lanes in the Kennedy Expressway. The Kennedy Expressway is a nearly 18-mile-long freeway in Chicago, Illinois, that connects in the southeast to northwest direction between the West Loop and O’Hare International Airport. There are two approximately 8-mile reversible lanes in the Kennedy Expressway’s median, where I-94 merges into I-90, and there are three entrance gates in each direction of this corridor. The purpose of the reversible lanes is to help the congested direction of the Kennedy Expressway increase its traffic flow and decrease the delay in the whole corridor. Currently, experts in a control location switch the direction of the reversible lanes two to three times per day by observing real-time traffic conditions captured by a traffic surveillance camera. In general, inbound gates are opened and outbound gates are closed around midnight because morning traffic is usually heavier toward the central city neighborhoods. In contrast, evening peak-hour traffic is usually heavier toward the outbound direction, so the direction of the reversible lanes is switched from inbound to outbound around noon. This study evaluates the Kennedy Expressway’s current reversing operation. Different indices are generated for the corridor to measure the reversible lanes’ performance, and a data-driven approach is selected to find the best time to start the operation. Subsequently, real-time and offline instruction for the operation of the reversible lanes is provided through employing deep learning and statistical techniques. In addition, an offline timetable is also provided through an optimization technique. Eventually, integration of the data-driven and optimization techniques results in the best practice operation of the reversible lanes.

ÉVOLUTION DE L’OFFRE DE SOINS, DES BESOINS DES RÉSIDENTS ET DES ORDONNANCES DE NEUROLEPTIQUES DANS LES CHSLD. CIRANO, September 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.54932/wxia2843.
Full textAbstract:
Les centres d’hébergement et de soins de longue durée (CHSLD) représentent une part importante du budget alloué aux soins aux personnes aînées au Québec. La majorité des personnes qui y sont hébergées présentent des incapacités importantes. La dotation en ressources humaines dans ces établissements demeure un enjeu. Ce projet avait pour objectif de réaliser une étude pilote pour répondre aux questions suivantes : comment ont évolué les besoins des résidents et l’offre de services en ressources humaines entre 2016-2017 et 2018-2019 ? Comment a évolué l’adéquation offre de soins/besoins des résidents au cours de la période ? Comment ont évolué les ordonnances de neuroleptiques en CHSLD pour les années financières allant de 2016-2017 à 2018-2019? Les résultats démontrent un important déficit en heures travaillées requises pour répondre aux besoins des résidents lors des années 2016-2017 et 2017-2018. Bien que ce déficit diminue considérablement au cours de l’année 2018-2019, l’offre de service n’a pas comblé la totalité des besoins des résidents, et ce autant pour les soins infirmiers que les services d’assistance. Cette étude suggère que les doses moyennes des ordonnances actives de neuroleptiques ont diminué en moyenne de 0,1 mg dans la totalité des CHSLD. Ce projet pilote montre qu’il est faisable, mais complexe d’utiliser les données administratives afin d’analyser des phénomènes cliniques.

Full textAbstract:
We believe the climate crisis will be resolved in cities. Today, while cities occupy only 2% of the Earth's surface, 57% of the world's population lives in cities, and by 2050, it will jump to 68% (UN, 2018). Currently, cities consume over 75% of natural resources, accumulate 50% of the global waste and emit up to 80% of greenhouse gases (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2017). Cities generate 70% of the global gross domestic product and are significant drivers of economic growth (UN-Habitat III, 2016). At the same time, cities sit on the frontline of natural disasters such as floods, storms and droughts (De Sherbinin et al., 2007; Major et al., 2011; Rockström et al., 2021). One of the sustainability pathways to reduce the environmental consequences of the current extract-make-dispose model (or the "linear economy") is a circular economy (CE) model. A CE is defined as "an economic system that is based on business models which replace the 'end-of-life' concept with reducing, alternatively reusing, recycling and recovering materials in production/distribution and consumption processes" (Kirchherr et al., 2017, p. 224). By redesigning production processes and thereby extending the lifespan of goods and materials, researchers suggest that CE approaches reduce waste and increase employment and resource security while sustaining business competitiveness (Korhonen et al., 2018; Niskanen et al., 2020; Stahel, 2012; Winans et al., 2017). Organizations such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and Circle Economy help steer businesses toward CE strategies. The CE is also a political priority in countries and municipalities globally. For instance, the CE Action Plan, launched by the European Commission in 2015 and reconfirmed in 2020, is a central pillar of the European Green Deal (European Commission, 2015, 2020). Additionally, more governments are implementing national CE strategies in China (Ellen MacArthur Foundation, 2018), Colombia (Government of the Republic of Colombia, 2019), Finland (Sitra, 2016), Sweden (Government Offices of Sweden, 2020) and the US (Metabolic, 2018, 2019), to name a few. Meanwhile, more cities worldwide are adopting CE models to achieve more resource-efficient urban management systems, thereby advancing their environmental ambitions (Petit-Boix & Leipold, 2018; Turcu & Gillie, 2020; Vanhuyse, Haddaway, et al., 2021). Cities with CE ambitions include, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Paris, Toronto, Peterborough (England) and Umeå (Sweden) (OECD, 2020a). In Europe, over 60 cities signed the European Circular Cities Declaration (2020) to harmonize the transition towards a CE in the region. In this policy brief, we provide insights into common challenges local governments face in implementing their CE plans and suggest recommendations for overcoming these. It aims to answer the question: How can the CE agenda be governed in cities? It is based on the results of the Urban Circularity Assessment Framework (UCAF) project, building on findings from 25 interviews, focus group discussions and workshops held with different stakeholder groups in Umeå, as well as research on Stockholm's urban circularity potential, including findings from 11 expert interviews (Rezaie, 2021). Our findings were complemented by the Circular Economy Lab project (Rezaie et al., 2022) and experiences from working with municipal governments in Sweden, Belgium, France and the UK, on CE and environmental and social sustainability.
